The blessing component of the Abrahamic covenant was amplified by the New Covenant. The name comes from Jer. 31:31-34, but it had already been promised in the Pentateuch (Deut. 30:1-14) and would be affirmed in other prophets such as Ezekiel (Ezek. 36:26-27). It is called “New” because of its distinction from the Old, the Mosaic Law. The author of Hebrews (Heb. 8:13) confirms that the Old Covenant (the Mosaic Law) has been made obsolete by the establishment of the New Covenant. The Jews were unable to keep the Mosaic covenant, therefore God by His grace promised to give then a new covenant and heart to obey Him.
Dr. Gonzalez explains that since these covenants are all from Israel’s past, some have improperly taken them away from Israel and applied them to the church today. They adopt the erroneous opinion that Israel’s promises have transferred to the church. One of the essential principles of the Abrahamic Covenant was that it was unconditional and eternal. Abraham did not have to do anything to receive or maintain this covenant. When God reaffirmed His covenant with Abraham, He solemnized His divine oath with the offering of sacrifices (Gen. 15:9-17).
Let us listen as Dr. Gonzalez continues his study on end times prophecy.

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES
To understand Israel’s importance in the prophetic future, we must first understand the unconditional covenants God made with Israel. These covenants govern our understanding of the Jewish people and govern our understanding of Bible prophecy.
Later Biblical covenants expanded 3 particular aspects of the Abrahamic Covenant, the promises of the land, the seed and the blessing. In this program, Dr. Gonzalez concludes his study of the Abrahamic Covenant and goes on to discuss those three aspects of the Abrahamic Covenant: the Palestinian or Land Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant.

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES
History reflects the suffering of the Jewish people and how they may perceive their choosing as a burden. But because they have been privileged with being His chosen people, they are placed squarely in the center of history and prophecy.
Israel is no larger than the state of New Jersey and the Jewish people comprise no more than half of one percent of the world’s population. How is it then that they play such a large role in world events with global coverage of its daily activities? We must turn to the Scriptures to understand what is happening in the world today and what will take place in the future. The best place to start is by looking at the past—when God first called Israel to be His Chosen People.

The Second Coming of Christ

END-TIMES PROPHECY SERIES
Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson penned these words in his famous poem entitled In Memoriam, “one great Divine event toward which all creation moves.” I do not think any human author has ever penned a better description of the Second Coming of Christ than he did in that phrase. How important is the Second Coming? Well, consider this, 23 out of the 27 New Testament books and every author mention it, it is referenced in seven out of every ten chapters (about one in every thirty verses), for a total of over 300 times in the New Testament alone. In the Old Testament, the Second coming of Christ is the dominant theme of every prophet and it is mentioned over 15 times. Based on those facts alone we can easily conclude that the Second Coming of Christ is clearly one of the most important biblical themes.
In this study entitled The Second Coming of Christ, Dr. Gonzalez covers both the certainty of Christ’s second coming and the ground rules for interpreting prophecy.
