"For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should
no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault
with THEM, he saith, Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel AND with
the house of Judah..."
Therefore, the G-d of Israel did not find fault with the Torah
that HE gave at mount Sinai. However, He did find fault with the
HEARTS of the people who received His Torah!
What is
the Difference Between the Older Covenant and the Newer Covenant?
Because most members from the house of Israel (Christianity) believe
that the G-d of Israel did away with His Torah after the death
and resurrection of the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus,
they do not understand the difference between the older and newer
covenant (Brit Hadashah). Most members from the house of Israel
(Christianity) believe that the G-d of Israel found fault with
the TORAH given at mount Sinai and for this reason the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus needed to come at His first coming
as the suffering Messiah (Mashiach) known as Messiah ben Joseph
(Yosef).
However, as stated earlier, since the G-d of Israel was the giver
of the Torah at mount Sinai, if the G-d of Israel found fault
with the Torah then He would have to find fault with Himself.
By understanding that BOTH the older covenant and the newer covenant
(Brit Hadashah) is Torah based, we can understand that the G-d
of Israel found fault with the RECEIVERS of the Torah and the
HEARTS of the children of Israel. So, if both the older covenant
and the newer covenant (Brit Hadashah) is Torah based, what is
the difference between the two covenants?
- The Older Covenant = Torah written upon a heart of stone
- The Newer Covenant = Torah written upon a heart of flesh
The problem with the First Covenant was the HEARTS of the PEOPLE
who RECEIVED the Torah, NOT THE TORAH!
The Older
Covenant Was the Torah Written Upon a Heart of Stone
When the G-d of Israel gives His Torah/Word, the target/destination
of His Torah/Word is the human heart. The older covenant was written
on a heart (tablets) of stone. Therefore, the G-d of Israel desired
to bring forth a newer (renewed) covenant (Brit Hadashah) so that
His Torah could be written upon a heart of flesh. We can understand
this truth in Ezekiel (Yechezekel) 36:26-27 as it is written:
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I
put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of
your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will
put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes,
and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."
