Six Covenants fulfilled today- the Seventh awaits in Heaven
What is a Covenant? It is a formal agreement or legal contract between two parties. An example of a covenant is a marriage covenant, which is a legal contract between a man and a woman. In this agreement, they mutually agree to fulfill their respective roles in the marriage.
Another example of a covenant is that between a citizen and the government: where the citizen is obliged to fulfill their role as a law-abiding member of society and pay taxes. In return, the government is entrusted with protecting the civil rights of its citizens. Should a citizen deliberately violate the law, they forfeit their right to freedom and may be sentenced to imprisonment or exile until they reform and make amends for their actions, thereby earning readmission into society.
However, in this case, it is a contract between YAHUWAH and His chosen people, in which He made a promise of salvation and protection if His chosen people would abide by His commandments, which He referred to as love (*Ex 20:6 / Jh 14:23-24).
Central to the covenant is the concept of mutual obligation
YAHUWAH promises to protect and baruk (bless) His obedient followers—be they Adam, Noah, or Abraham—elevating them as His chosen people and assuming the role of Father and Elohim to them. In exchange, they commit to obeying YAHUWAH's commandments, worshipping Him and His Name exclusively, and adhering to His moral and ethical standards." (*Ex 19:5-6/ Ex 23:13).
This covenant is not only a legal contract but also serves as a relationship between the Almighty and His best creation, mankind. It represents a kodesh agreement and bond between YAHUWAH and His followers, based on trust, loyalty, and faithfulness.
Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the covenant is depicted as both a source of blessing and a cause of punishment. When His people, starting from Adam, remain faithful to their obligations, they experience prosperity and favor from YAHUWAH. However, when they disobey His commandments, they face adversity and exile (*Gen 3:17-24/ Deut 11:26-28).
The Covenant of YAHUWAH is synonymous throughout all generations, starting from the Garden of Eden to the end of time, due to His unchanging nature. YAHUWAH remains the same today, yesterday, and forever.
Understanding the Seven Major Covenants of Scripture: Foundations of YAHUWAH’s Relationship with His People
Throughout the sacred Scriptures, YAHUWAH has established covenants—divine agreements or binding promises—that form the framework of His ongoing relationship with humanity. Each covenant reveals a progressive unfolding of His redemptive plan, His character, and His unwavering desire to dwell among a set-apart people. These six key covenants span from the beginning of time to the promise of an everlasting Kingdom and each is rooted in faith, obedience, and the sanctity of His Name.
Let us explore these covenants in their historical and spiritual context:
1. The Adamic Covenant – The Covenant of Life and Dominion (Genesis 1–3)
Parties: YAHUWAH and Adam (representing humanity)
Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:26–30; Genesis 2:15–17; Genesis 3:14–19
The Adamic Covenant was the first agreement between YAHUWAH and man, established in the Garden of Eden. Adam was given dominion over the earth and entrusted with the responsibility to “be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it.” This covenant came with both blessings and conditions. Adam was free to enjoy the abundance of Eden, but forbidden from eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
When Adam and Eve disobeyed, sin and death entered the world, initiating the need for redemption. However, even in judgment, YAHUWAH promised the “seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15)—a prophetic foretelling of Messiah’s triumph over the serpent.
2. The Noahic Covenant – The Covenant of Preservation (Genesis 6–9)
Parties: YAHUWAH and Noah (and all living creatures)
Key Scriptures: Genesis 6:18; Genesis 9:8–17
Following the great flood, YAHUWAH made an unconditional covenant with Noah and his descendants. He vowed never again to destroy the earth with a flood. The sign of this covenant is the rainbow—a perpetual reminder of YAHUWAH’s mercy and restraint despite human wickedness.
This covenant affirms YAHUWAH's commitment to preserve life on earth, setting the stage for future covenants and the unfolding of His redemption plan.
3. The Abrahamic Covenant – The Covenant of Promise (Genesis 12, 15, 17)
Parties: YAHUWAH and Abraham (and his descendants)
Key Scriptures: Genesis 12:1–3; Genesis 15:1–6; Genesis 17:1–14
The Abrahamic Covenant is foundational to the entire narrative of Scripture. YAHUWAH promised Abraham that he would become the father of a great nation, be given a land (Canaan), and that through his seed all nations would be blessed.
This covenant was marked by faith and obedience, and included both physical promises (land, descendants) and spiritual ones (blessing, salvation). Circumcision was given as a sign of this covenant. Importantly, this covenant was reaffirmed to Isaac and Jacob (Israel), anchoring the nation of Israel’s identity.
4. The Mosaic Covenant – The Covenant of the Law (Exodus 19–24)
Parties: YAHUWAH and the Nation of Israel
Key Scriptures: Exodus 19:5–6; Exodus 20–24; Deuteronomy 28
At Mount Sinai, YAHUWAH entered into a conditional covenant with the descendants of Abraham, now a nation rescued from slavery. He gave them His Torah—laws, statutes, and commandments—to guide them in righteousness, justice, and worship.
The Sabbath was given as an everlasting sign between YAHUWAH and His people (Exodus 31:16–17). The covenant was sealed with blood, and blessings were promised for obedience, while curses would follow disobedience (Deuteronomy 28).
The Mosaic Covenant revealed the purest of YAHUWAH, the sinfulness of man, and the need for atonement—a role filled temporarily by the sacrificial system, but pointing forward to a greater redemption.
5. The Davidic Covenant – The Covenant of Kingship (2 Samuel 7)
Parties: YAHUWAH and King David (and his royal lineage)
Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 7:12–16; Psalm 89
In this covenant, YAHUWAH promised David that his throne would be established forever and that one of his descendants would reign eternally. This covenant is messianic in nature, pointing to Yahoshea the Messiah (commonly mistranslated “Jesus”), the Son of David, who would establish an everlasting Kingdom of righteousness and peace.
Though David's physical line saw temporary kingship disrupted by exile and disobedience, the promise stands eternally in Yahoshea, the rightful Heir to the throne of YAHUWAH.
6. The Renewed Covenant – The Covenant of Redemption (Jeremiah 31 / Hebrews 8)
Parties: YAHUWAH and the House of Israel and Judah
Key Scriptures: Jeremiah 31:31–34; Ezekiel 36:26–28; Hebrews 8:6–13
The Renewed (New) Covenant is not a replacement of the old, but a restoration and elevation. In it, YAHUWAH promises to write His Torah upon the hearts of His people, to forgive their sins, and to dwell within them by His Spirit.
This covenant is sealed through the blood of the Messiah (Luke 22:20), who bore the penalty of sin and restored access to the Father through His Name and obedience. It is a call to return—not to lawlessness—but to heartfelt obedience rooted in love and trust.
This covenant is everlasting and marks the final stage of YAHUWAH’s plan on earth—to bring back the lost sheep of the House of Israel, unite them with Yahudah, and reign with them forever in a renewed earth.
7. The Covenant of Eternal perfection and Consummation (Rev 21:7 / Rev 21 & 22)
Parties: YAHUWAH and the elect followers of Yahoshea Messiah (elect Israel)
Key Scriptures: Revelation 2:7, Revelation 3:12
The Seventh Covenant—the covenant of eternal perfection—will be established in Heaven, when the righteous are gathered, purified, and made one with YAHUWAH forever. It will not be written on tablets nor taught from scrolls, for His Name and law will be inscribed upon our foreheads and within our being.
This final, eternal covenant is the consummation of the marriage between The Messiah and His Bride. A covenant of eternal rest, unbroken fellowship, and incorruptible inheritance.
"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his Elohim and he shall be My son." – Revelation 21:7
“He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the Temple of My Elohim, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the Name of My Elohim and the Name of the City of My Elohim , the Renewed Yahusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My Elohim. And I will write on him My new Name.” – Revelation 3:12
Conclusion: One Creator, One Plan, Seven Covenants—Yet One Unified Purpose
From Eden to the eternal Kingdom, YAHUWAH’s covenants reflect His justice, mercy, and unwavering love for His creation. Each builds upon the former, revealing a cohesive narrative centered on His Name, His Torah, and His people.
Let it be known: salvation is not found in religion, but in covenant relationship—through the Name of YAHUWAH, and through obedience to His eternal ways. As Scripture declares:
“I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people... for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them...” — YirmeYahu 31:33–34
