📜 The Ten Commandments Were Given to Israel Alone 📜

The Old Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) was written primarily for Israel—the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

It was their covenant document with YHWH, guiding them in faith, law, history, wisdom, and prophecy.

BUT—it also contains messages for the nations (Gentiles).


👑 Who Was It For?

1️⃣ The Israelites (God’s Chosen People)
📖 Torah was given through Moses at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19–24).
⚖️ Laws and commandments were meant to set Israel apart (Deut. 7:6).

2️⃣ The Priests and Levites
🕍 Special instructions for temple service and teaching the law (Lev. 10:11, Deut. 17:18).

3️⃣ The Kings of Israel
👑 Each king was to write and read the Torah daily (Deut. 17:18–20).
📢 Prophets rebuked kings who ignored it.

4️⃣ The Common People of Israel
📚 The Torah was read aloud to all (Deut. 31:10–13, Neh. 8:1–8).
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents were to teach it daily (Deut. 6:6–9).

5️⃣ The Prophets & Future Generations
📣 Given to warn and guide Israel back to God.
🌟 Prophesied restoration and a righteous king from David’s line (Isa. 9:6–7, Micah 5:2).

🌍 What About the Nations (Gentiles)?

While the Law was for Israel, the Hebrew Bible includes powerful truths for the world:

🔹 Prophecies for the nations — Isaiah 2:2–4, Jeremiah 12:14–17
🔹 Foreigners welcomed if they obeyed God's laws — Isaiah 56:6–8, Ruth 1:16
🔹 Future worship by all nations — Zechariah 14:16, Isaiah 49:6

📖 Why Was the Torah Given?

✅ To teach who God is — Deut. 6:4–5
✅ To provide righteous laws — Exodus 20, Leviticus 19
✅ To warn against sin — Deut. 28
✅ To give hope of restoration — Isaiah 11, Ezekiel 37
✅ To prepare the way for the Messiah — Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 53, Micah 5:2

🌟 While the Torah was given to Israel first, God's plan was always for all nations to know Him and be blessed through His people (Genesis 12:3, Isaiah 42:6–7).

📜 The New Covenant: A Promise Written on Hearts ❤️

The New Covenant is first spoken of in Jeremiah 31:31–34—a powerful promise from God of a future covenant, not like the one made at Mount Sinai with Moses.

Instead of being written on stone tablets, it would be written on the hearts of God’s people.

✨ What is the New Covenant?

The New Covenant (בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה, B’rit Chadashah) is God’s promise to bring His people into a deeper, personal relationship with Him.

📖 Jeremiah 31:31–34 (Hebrew Bible)
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers…
But this shall be the covenant…
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
And will be their God, and they shall be my people.”

📌 This prophecy speaks of a time when God’s Torah (instruction) would no longer be external but internalized—dwelling within His people.

👥 Who Is the New Covenant For?

✅ The House of Israel & Judah
➡️ Specifically made with Israel, not with foreign nations.

✅ Those Who Seek the God of Israel
➡️ Others who turn to Him are welcomed into His people.

✅ It is NOT a rejection of Torah
➡️ The New Covenant doesn’t cancel the Torah—
it writes it on the heart of each believer.

💡 How Is the New Covenant Different?

Not written on stone — but inwardly engraved on hearts
Not dependent on rituals — but based on knowing God directly
Not just for priests — but for everyone in covenant with Him
🕊️ This is a call to a living faith, where God’s Word lives within you, not just around you.

📜 Old Covenant vs. New Covenant 💖

Let’s look at the difference between the Sinai Covenant and the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:

📕 Old Covenant (Sinai)
🪨 Written on stone tablets (Exodus 24:12)
📜 External laws and rituals
⚖️ Based on obedience to laws
🐑 Repeated sacrifices for sin
👤 Given through Moses

📖 New Covenant (Jeremiah 31)
❤️ Written on hearts (Jeremiah 31:33)
🕊️ Internal relationship with God
💡 Based on a transformed heart
🩸 God forgives sins permanently
📣 Comes directly from God

🙌 The New Covenant brings us closer to God—not through ritual, but through a heart transformed by His Spirit.

🕊️ The New Covenant: A Transformed Heart, Not a Replaced Law 📜❤️
The New Covenant does not do away with God’s laws or instructions—
It transforms the people so they desire to follow them from the heart.
💭 How Did Early Believers Understand It?
🔹 The Essenes (Qumran community) believed they were already living in the "New Covenant" of Jeremiah.
🔹 Some Jewish followers of Yeshua (Jesus) saw Him establishing this covenant—
teaching that God’s commandments must be kept from the heart, not just outwardly.
🔹 Others believed the New Covenant was a future promise—when all of Israel would fully return to God.
📅 When Does the New Covenant Happen?
🕰️ Some say it began in the first century with a spiritual transformation.
🇮🇱 Others believe it’s still unfolding—since Israel has not yet fully returned to God.
🌍 Ultimately, it will be fulfilled when God restores Israel completely,
and all people know Him directly.
❌ Does the New Covenant Abolish the Old?
No! The New Covenant does not replace the Torah—
It internalizes it.
🧠 The Torah is still God’s eternal law,
but it becomes a living guide inside each person, not just a list of external commands.
✨ Final Thought
The New Covenant is about a transformed relationship with God,
where His teachings become part of a person’s very nature.
It was always intended for Israel,
but those from the nations who seek God can also become part of His people.
This covenant is still unfolding, leading to a time when all people will know the one true God.

✝️ Key Aspects of Jesus’ Covenant ✡️
A deeper look at how Yeshua (Jesus) fulfills and transforms God's promises.


1️⃣ Fulfillment of the Law, Not Abolition
🗣️ “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
— Matthew 5:17
➡️ Jesus' covenant builds upon and completes God's original plan, not replacing it.

2️⃣ The Law Written on Hearts
📖 “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.”
— Jeremiah 31:33
➡️ Unlike stone tablets, the New Covenant is internal.
Jesus emphasized heart transformation, inner purity, and love—not just outward obedience.

3️⃣ Direct Relationship with God
📖 “No longer will they teach their neighbor... for they will all know me.”
— Jeremiah 31:34
➡️ Under this covenant, no priest is needed to access God.
Jesus taught us to call Him Father and to pray directly to Him.

4️⃣ Forgiveness of Sins
📖 “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
— Jeremiah 31:34
🩸 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
— Matthew 26:28
➡️ Unlike temporary sacrifices, Jesus’ atonement is final and eternal.

5️⃣ A Covenant for Israel and the Nations
🗺️ Jesus came for the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24),
but also to be a light to the Gentiles (Isaiah 49:6).
➡️ He fulfilled this by sending His disciples to all nations with the message of the Kingdom.

📜 How Is This Different from the Old Covenant?

🔹 The Mosaic Covenant (via Moses):
– External obedience
– Temple sacrifices
– Priestly mediation

🔹 The New Covenant (through Jesus):
– Internal transformation
– Direct relationship with God
– Final sacrifice through Jesus

❓ Did Jesus Replace the Torah?
No!
He didn’t replace it—He fulfilled it and clarified it.
Through teachings like the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), He brought people back to God’s original intent:
👉 Loving God and loving others.

✅ Conclusion
Jesus’ covenant is the fulfillment of God’s promise to Israel,
bringing forgiveness, transformation, and direct relationship with God.
It calls us to walk in true righteousness—from the heart.
