Excerpt from The Kingdom Rav Sha'ul   How is The Yahushaic Covenant “New”? by Rav Sha'ul                       This “New Covenant” YHVH promised to The House of Israel and The House of Judah is literally defined by one thing… The Law!  It isn’t abolished in any way, in fact the New Covenant is “New” in the sense that it has been strengthened and transposed from “written in stone” as it was in the Mosaic Covenant to literally “written on our very hearts” in The Yahushaic Covenant.  In that way and in that way ONLY, is The Yahushaic Covenant “New” and “not like the Covenant of Moses”. Jeremiah 31:31-34 31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when I will make a new covenant with The House of Israel and with The House of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares YHVH. 33 “But this is the covenant which I will make with The House of Israel after those days,” declares YHVH, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know YHVH,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares YHVH, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” What is important to note about Jeremiah’s prophecy is that it is only The House of Israel or rather The Lost Sheep of The House of Israel whom YHVH has a need to “write it on their hearts”.  Why?  Because The House of Judah never abandoned the Written Law (although they did add to it substantially through Takkonots which are commandments of men).  It was The House of Israel who totally abandoned YHVH’s Law and as a result they were utterly “divorced” or separated from YHVH.  YHVH’s Righteousness, defined by The Law, does not change; it is The House of Israel that comes back to His Law that leads to their “grafting back into The Family Tree” in The Yahushaic Covenant. Below is Jeremiah’s prophecy with my comments in blue parenthesis to clarify in context of The Word of YHVH: Jeremiah 31:31-34 31 “Behold, days are coming,” declares YHVH, “when I will make a new covenant (The Yahushaic Covenant) with The House of Israel (fulfilled in the first coming defined by the Spring Feast rehearsals) and with The House of Judah (fulfilled in the second coming defined by the Fall Feast rehearsals), 32 not like the covenant (where The Law was written in stone defined by physical acts) which I made with their fathers (Mosaic Covenant) in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them (it was a Marriage Covenant, The Law is the marriage vows),” declares YHVH. 33 “But this is (how) the covenant which I will make with The House of Israel after those days (is different from the Mosaic Covenant),” declares YHVH, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; (The Law will be fulfilled and transposed from physical act to attitude of heart i.e. Spiritual Intent) and I will be their God, and they (Remnant Israel) shall be My people (because they will be faithful to the marriage vows i.e. they will have a heart for His Law). 34 They will not teach (The Law) again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know YHVH,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares YHVH, “for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” The New Covenant is in effect The Mosaic Covenant transposed into the hearts of the sons of YHVH and The Law strengthened from physical act to Spiritual Intent.  We see YHVH promise to “forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more” in verse 34 above.  That promise itself is conditional on obedience to The Law.  YHVH fulfilled this promise in one day on Passover. On that day He forgave our iniquity (contempt for His Law) and our sin (transgression of His Law) exactly as He promised.  YHVH forgave us because of Yahusha’s obedience to… THE LAW!  The entire plan of salvation was made conditional.  IF Yahusha would be obedient to The Law; THEN YHVH would forgive all His sons their iniquity.  It is in Zachariah Chapter 3 that we see the terms given to fulfill the promise in Jeremiah above to forgive the iniquity (the breaking of His Laws) of the sons of YHVH. Next: Salvation conditional on keeping The Law
