Why We Believe with Certainty in the Premillennial View (Part 5)

God’s Keeps His Promises to the Nation Israel

We can see from these texts that man’s disobedience to the Mosaic law did not cancel God’s commitment to the promise made in the Abrahamic Covenant. This is the main point of everything relative to the Old Testament and the end times prophecies. This is an amazing thing that God does relative to the things that He promises. If God says something and the fulfillment of that promise is based on God’s faithfulness, then it does not matter what man does, the promise will be kept. Israel did surely not follow through with their commitment to the Mosaic Law. They publically committed to be obedient but they also publically violated that commitment. Based on God’s commitment to Abraham they were still God’s chosen people of promise. In the book of Hosea, God clearly demonstrates this love and commitment. God asked Hosea to marry a woman who was a prostitute, and even though she publically went back to her life of prostitution God told Hosea to go back to her to keep his covenant with her.

In Ezekiel 16 we see this same thing conveyed, as God shows His unconditional love for the nation. The nation is presented in the chapter as a harlot who gives herself to every passer-by. (16:15) This speaks to how the nation had intermingled with foreign countries with alliances and marriage. Even though this happened, and they suffered the results of their choices, God spoke to how he still remembered His covenant with them.(16:60) There will be that day, in the future, when they will “know” that God is Lord. (16:62)

We see in Deuteronomy 7:6 God’s commitment to His promise.

Deuteronomy 7:6-9 6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

There is one more covenant that we need to look at. I would like for you to read Psalm 89 and in it find the covenant. Post your comment.
