Covenants of the Bible

By Craig Paardekooper………

The Bible is a record of God’s dealings with people, covering the time from Adam until Jesus – a period of 77
generations.
God’s interaction with people takes the form of a series of Covenants or agreements.
These covenants are –1. Edenic Covenant
2. Noahic Covenant
3. Abrahamic Covenant
4. Mosaic Covenant
5. Priestly Covenant
6. Davidic Covenant
7. The New Covenant

Adam to Noah 777.77 x 777.7 days (Beginning of OT)
Noah to Abraham

427

Abraham to Moses

430

Moses to David

437

Solomon to captivity

430

Captivity to Nehemiah 77.77 x 777.7 days (End of OT)

Notice that from Noah to the end of the Kingdom of Israel every covenant is separated by 430 years – a cycle ofrevelation.

The Edenic Covenant
This covenant was made with Adam and Eve, and their descendants. The Covenant was given by the Creator, andcarried His authority. The Sabbath Law was to be kept as Holy, in remembrance of the 7 days of Creation. Here are
the main points of this Covenant -Work :To be fruitfulSettled gardening/agriculture/animal husbandry

Family:To have a helper
To multiply – have children
To be monogamous – one flesh
Reproduction only between same species
Male distinct from female – only 2 genders
It is not good to be alone- man needs a helper

Sustenance
To be vegetarian
To eat from the trees, rather than eat plants of the groundNot to eat forbidden fruit

Dominion over Animals
To understand and name every animal
No animal regarded as unclean

Keeping the Times and Seasons
To regulate one’s life in accordance with the rhythms of nature
To keep the SabbathEthics
To regard people as holy – made in the image of God
To be your brother’s keeper
Not to murder
Violence prohibited
Not to lie or be deceitful

To Obey/Trust God
Only to listen to God, not any other being
Responsibility for not obeying God cannot be shifted to another person, even if that person deceived andpersuaded you, or even if they are someone you love and trust

The Sabbath Law
The Sabbath is a day of rest. In Mosaic Law it was a time when debts were cancelled, and slaves were freed. It wasa time when nature could rest – so its intrinsic meaning is forgiveness, mercy and compassion. The Sabbath was
also a time to honour the Creator for His creation – and show respect for His Covenant.
The idea of rest contains within it the idea of contemplation – deep relaxation – meditation.

Atonement
Eating the forbidden fruit altered the consciousness of Adam
They became aware of their nakedness. Their environment felt hostile. They felt threatened by it. Separation.
Sacrifice is necessary as a covering for sin.

God’s Signature to the Edenic Covenant
Genesis Chapter 1 relates the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the laws that the Creator gave to His
creatures. God placed His Signature on this Covenant, in the form of

1. In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth
Sum of Words or Letters
2701 = 37 x 73 = reflective primes.
2701 = 73rd triangular number = Sum of 7 words
703 = 37th triangular number = Sum of whole multiples of 37
Each of the other words differs from a multiple of 37 by a multiple of 6
They always sum to 666 + 666 + 666 whether read forwards or backwards.
2. New Heavens and New Earth
Genesis = 2701
Revelations + Genesis = 7326 + 2701 = 10027 = 271 x 37
Genesis = 703 + 666 + 666 + 666
Revelations + Genesis = 37 ( 73 + 66 + 66 + 66)

3. New Jerusalem
Revelations 21 refers to the New Heavens and New Earth. It also refers to the New Jerusalem cube of 12 x
12 x 12. A cube also appears in Genesis 1 v 1.
Genesis→12 x 12 x 12 x 24 x 24 x 24

Revelations→

12 x 12 x 12

4. Squared Circle of Heaven and Earth
Product of Words/ Product of Letters = 304153525784175760 / 23887872 = 1.2732
The squared circle is the relationship between the Earth, Moon and Sun : in other words between the
Heavens and the Earth.
It symbolises the union of what is finite (the square) with what is infinite (the circle) – a covenant between
heaven and earth.

5. Two Stars (Lights) : One inside the otherA star within a star
Outer hexagram = 73
Inner hexagram = 37

6. The Beginning and End of the Edenic Covenant
2701 is the sum for Genesis 1 v 1, the beginning of the Edenic Covenant, and Genesis 8 v 14, the end of the
Edenic Covenant. In the very next verse, Genesis 8 v 15, Noah goes forth from the ark to begin again. So, theend of the Edenic Covenant is marked with the same number that marked its beginning.

Additional Notes
Average distance of Moon from Earth = 384,399 km
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_distance_(astronomy)
Radius of the Moon = 1737.4 km

Moon is located at an average distance of r = 384,399 km from Earth and it has an average radius of d = 1,737.4
km, so its angular radius is 1,737.4/384,399 = 0.0045197 radians. Since 1 radian = 57.296 degrees, the angularradius of the Moon is 0.0045 x 57.3 = 0.25896 degrees, so its diameter is 0.51791 degrees as viewed from Earth.
0.518 x 0.518/360 = 2.73 x 2.73 x 10-4
The diameter of the moon is 3474.8 km. The diameter of the earth is 12,742 km. So the Moon’s diameter is27.27% of the diameter of the EarthSpacing of the Heavenly Bodies
The spacing of the heavenly bodies – the distance of planets from the Sun – is in accordance with a geometricprogression of (2 x 0.864)n1.728 = 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titius%E2%80%93Bode_law

This article is available here http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nphiarticle_query?1945PA.....53...14R&defaultprint=YES&filetype=.pdf
Richardson found that the distance of planets from their system centre (Sun) is determined by –1. Their particular orbital shape
2. By 1.728 raised to the power n, where n is their ordinal position.
What this means is that the radius of orbit increases by a factor of 1.2 x 1.2 x 1.2 for each successive planet.

A Sign on the Earth
Mathematical patterns in DNA

There are 20 amino-acids, which are the building blocks of all living things.

Each amino-acid is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulphur atoms. The mass of each of theseatoms is known to 4 decimal places. See below.

Consequently, we can work out the exact mass of each amino-acid from the number of carbons,hydrogens, nitrogens, oxygens, and sulphurs in its molecule.

The result is this table

Then we include the centre column

We find out that what is mirrored is 37 x 37
The exact sum of the whole is 2 x 37 x 37

How Long Did The Edenic Covenant Last

It lasted until the time of Noah – a total of 1656 years. This can be calculated from the genealogy in Genesis 5 –The total number of years from Adam to the Flood =130 + 105 + 90 + 70 + 65 + 162 + 65 + 187 + 182 + 600 =
1656 years

How Many Days in 1656 years ?
The sidereal year is the time taken for the Earth to complete one revolution of its orbit, as measured against a fixed
frame of reference (such as the fixed stars). Its duration in SI days of 86,400 SI seconds each is on average:
365.256363051 days
1656 x 365.256 = 777.7 x 777.77 days – seven being the number for the Sabbath
The Edenic Covenant was the covenant of creation. The Sabbath was ordained for people to remember the Creation.
Yet people had forgotten the creation, the covenant and the Sabbath.

The Edenic Covenant Lasted 7 “days”
1656 x 365.256 = 7 x 86400 days
In a day there are 24 hours each of 60 minutes, each minute of 60 seconds. 24 x 60 x 60 = 86400.
So 86400 stands for a “day”; and 7 x 86400 stands for 7 “days”.
The world was created in 7 days, And the Edenic Covenant lasted 7 “days”

What Caused the Edenic Covenant to End
Wickedness, violence, corruption/altering of biological organisms, demonic invasion

What happened at the End of the Covenant
There was an apocalypse.
•

The land was flooded and washed clean•Lifespan diminished by an order of magnitude over a period of 1000 years. Exponential decrease after theflood. Lifespan lowered to 120 years.

•

The mega fauna were destroyed•

The sons of God were imprisoned for 70 generations, 1111111 days until the Son of God came

The fall in lifespan was rapid at first, then it gradually slowed down with each passing generation.
(Based on Bible genealogies in Genesis 5, and Genesis 11)

The Noahic Covenant
This covenant was, in a sense, a re-instatement of the Edenic Covenant. The Noahic covenant uses similar wording
to the Edenic Covenant – the command to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The dominion over all otherspecies – fear. The removal of the previous cursing of the ground. The re-establishment of natural rhythms. The
prescription of what can be eaten.
So the Noahic Covenant is a new beginning, a re-start. From this point we start counting again.

Commands Similar to Edenic Covenant
Be fruitful and multiply
All creatures will fear people - dominion
No longer vegetarian – now they can eat every moving thing

The Holiness of Life
Not to eat flesh with its life – its blood still in it – because blood is the life
Not to shed the blood of man – murder prohibited

Atonement
Nakedness is shameful - Mankind needs a covering
Burnt Offerings sacrifice as a means of pleasing God
Mankind can’t help himself – his thoughts are evil from his youth.

Judgement
As a general rule the breaking of a Covenant with God leads to judgement and destruction.

Promises toNever to Flood the Earth again
Never to Curse the ground again
The natural rhythms and seasons will not be broken again

The Abrahamic Covenant
Two years after the flood, Shem became the father d of Arphaxad. When Arphaxad had lived 35 years, hebecame the father of Shelah. When Shelah had lived 30 years, he became the father of Eber. When Eber had
lived 34 years, he became the father of Peleg. When Peleg had lived 30 years, he became the father of Reu.
When Reu had lived 32 years, he became the father of Serug. When Serug had lived 30 years, he became thefather of Nahor. When Nahor had lived 29 years, he became the father of Terah. Terah lived 205 years, andhe died in Harran. After Terah died, God called Abraham to go to Canaan
Genesis 11 v 10 – Genesis 12 v 4
7:1 Then the high priest said, “Are these things true?” 2 So he replied, “Brothers and fathers, listen to me. The
God of glory appeared to our forefather Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he settled in
Haran, 3 and said to him, ‘Go out from your country and from your relatives, and come to the land I will showyou.’ 4 Then he went out from the country of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. After his father died, God
made him move to this country where you now live.
Acts 7 v 1-4

The Calling of Abraham
Acts 7 shows that Abraham received his calling after Terah died. So the time from the Noahic Covenant to the callingof Abraham is –2 + 35 +30 + 34 + 30 + 32 + 30 + 29 + 205 = 427 years

Confirmation - The Fire-Pot Covenant
Genesis 15-16 says that God made a covenant with Abraham when Abraham was 85 years old – 10 years after entering
Canaan – this was 437 years after the Noahic Covenant.

Confirmation - The Covenant of CircumcisionThis took place when Abraham was 99 years old – 24 years after he entered Canaan – 451 years after the Noahic
Covenant

Confirmation – The Sacrifice of Isaac
God confirmed His promise to Abraham.

Ezekiel’s List of the 12 Tribes of Israel

Below are the full spellings for each name. In every case these are the plene spellings in
Hebrew. The numerical value of these names is in the last column. These names areordered from oldest to youngest.

Arrangement of the Names in the StarAt the end of his book, Ezekiel allots 3 tribes to each gate of the city as follows –The Vertical Axis consists of all the tribes in position 1

Reuben, Simeon, Gad , Joseph

The Right Chevron consists of all the tribes in position 2

Judah, Issachar, Asher, Benjamin

The Left Chevron consists of all the tribes in position 3

Levi, Zebulun, Naphtali, Dan

The Vertical Axis is an axis of symmetry, so the compass direction in the right chevron is the opposite of the compass
direction in the mirror position in the left chevron.

or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. 17And he is before all things,
and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19For in
him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and through him to reconcile to himself allthings, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.”
Colossians 1 v 15-20

When the names of the 12 tribes are arranged in order of their birth, they also form a pattern of contiguous
multiples of 37 that is almost identical to the pattern with the sons…. Except the sums of 37 are almost all different!!
When the names of the 12 sons of Jacob are arranged in order of their birth (a), then they form a pattern whereby –1. Adjacent squares combine to form multiples of 37
2. These multiples cannot be subdivided into multiples of 37
3. None of the multiples are disjointed or scatteredNotable additional features are the larger SQUARE blocks of 37 –30 + 7 + 466 + 570 = 1073
259 + 54 + 501 = 814
30 + 7 + 466 + 570 + 95 + 830 = 1998 = 3 x 666
30 + 7 + 466 + 570 + 95 + 830 + 259 + 54 + 501 = 2812 = 4 x 703
30 + 7 + 466 + 570 + 95 + 830 + 259 + 54 + 501 + 888 = 3700

It is curious that the largest unit 3700 breaks down naturally into the name of the Creator, and 703.
Then this breaks down further into 3 x 666 and 814

3700
888 + 4 x 703
814 + 3 x 666
These Genesis 1 v 1 numbers appear so quickly. Together with Jesus Christ

Sum of the odd tribes = Sum of the even tribes = 3700/2

This is the order of birth based on the Patriarchal line –Jacob is said to have had twelve sons by four women, his wives, Leah and Rachel, and his
concubines, Bilhah and Zilpah, who were, in order of theirbirth, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin, all ofwhom became the heads of their own family groups, later known as the Twelve Tribes of Israel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob

Jacob fathered 12 sons by four women: his wives, Leah and Rachel; and his concubines - maidservants of
Leah and Rachel - and surrogate mothers, Zilpah and Bilhah (Gen.29:31-35; 30:1-24; 35:16-18). The
following table lists the names of the sons, in order of birth, with their respective mothers.

12. BENJAMIN Rachel

Jacob's favorite son, Joseph, sold into slavery through the treachery of his elder brothers, ultimately
became Pharaoh's 'right-hand man', married an Egyptian, and fathered two sons, MANASSEH and
EPHRAIM (Gen.41:50-52). These two particular grandsons of Jacob were destined to become proxies fortheir father in the above list. The tribes - now numbering 13, and each identified by the name of its
progenitor - remained in Egypt for some 400 years. Following the Exodus, and before entering the'promised land', a significant event took place: at God's command, the sons of Levi were set apart anddedicated to His service; in due course, they would therefore not feature in the apportionment of the land
between the tribes (Deut.10:8-9). Accordingly, we deduce that the name of Levi would not appear on thebreastplate, for the high priest who bore it would himself have been of that tribe; again, as we have seen,
Joseph would have been represented by his two sons. A reading of Nu.1 confirms these facts.
Many centuries after these events occurred, it became the practice to use Hebrew letters as numerals. All
written words and names have since become fairly interpretable as numbers. Details of the
Hebrew alphabetic numbering scheme are given in Appendix 2. The names of the tribes of Israel(assuming it is these that were engraved on the jewels of the breastplate), in progenitor birthorder, and with their full numerical interpretations, are listed in the table below along with
their Strong's reference number bracketed. [Note: to verify these Hebrew spellings you may
access www.blueletterbible.org using the relevant reference number.]* In contrast to the other 11, the Hebrew rendering of the name Zebulun occurs in different ways - as detailed below:

Observe that the column headed 'Freq(uency)' records the number of times each variation occurs in the Old Testament text; andthat headed 'CV', the numerical values to be associated with these. For the purposes of the current exercise, it is clear that latter
may be read either as 101 or 95. However, the latter is preferred here because, (a) it relates to the most frequent of thevariations, (b) it is this value that raises the total of the 'Tribes of Israel' to a significant multiple of 37, and the one which
establishes many of the internal breastplate characteristics.

It is worth noting that this layout corresponds with the engravings on the two onyx stones mounted on theshoulderpieces of the ephod (Ex.28:9-12).
The following diagrams present a summary of the matters discussed above.

The breastplate is here represented as a tiled rectangle - the tiles being numbered from right to left, in the
Hebrew manner - with the omitted names, Levi and Joseph, shown in their proper positions, by order ofbirth.
Here, finally, is the breastplate prepared for analysis as a 4 x 3 matrix of name CVs:

Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel, fathered 12 sons by four women: his wives, Leah and Rachel;and his concubines - maidservants of Leah and Rachel - and surrogate mothers, Zilpah and Bilhah (Genesis
29:31-35; 30:1-24; 35:16-18). The following table lists the names of the sons, in order of birth, with theirrespective mothers.
1. REUBEN - Leah
2. SIMEON - Leah
3. LEVI - Leah
4. JUDAH - Leah
5. DAN - Rachel/Bilhah
6. NAPHTALI - Rachel/Bilhah
7. GAD - Leah/Zilpah
8. ASHER - Leah/Zilpah
9. ISSACHAR - Leah
10. ZEBULUN - Leah
11. JOSEPH - Rachel
12. BENJAMIN – Rachel

A careful study of this list reveals a secondary birth order, this time along matriarchal lines. Such aninterpretation receives support from the Scriptural record, where the struggle between the sisters - Leahand Rachel - for the affections of their husband is recounted at Genesis 29 and 30. Consequently, we mayreconfigure the birth order after the houses of the two wives, Leah and Rachel. In so doing, precedence isgiven to the house of Leah: her own six sons first, then her two surrogate sons by Zilpah. Subsequently wehave the house of Rachel: her two surrogate sons by Bilhah - given precedence as they were the first to beborn into Rachel's house - followed finally by Rachel's own two sons, Joseph and Benjamin. An amended
table listing the sons of Israel, after the matriarchal birth order, is as follows:
1. REUBEN - Leah
2. SIMEON - Leah
3. LEVI - Leah
4. JUDAH - Leah
5. ISSACHAR - Leah
6. ZEBULUN - Leah
7. GAD - Leah/Zilpah
8. ASHER - Leah/Zilpah
9. DAN - Rachel/Bilhah
10. NAPHTALI - Rachel/Bilhah
11. JOSEPH - Rachel
12. BENJAMIN – RachelThis breastplate is based on the Mother Set – that is the Matriarchal birth order.
Notice that it divides in all the same places as the previous matrix, but with different multiples of 37!!
