LITERAL INTERPRETATION AND THE
FULFILLMENT OF THE COVENANT
HAS THE COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM BEEN
FULFILLED?
Most of it has NOT been fulfilled. (Points where it
has been fulfilled, it has been fulfilled literally).
LAND. Israel has never possessed and occupied
the land as the covenant requires.
KING/SEED. The son of David has not ruled
‘forever’ on David’s throne over Israel and the
world.
SALVATION (“New” Covenant). Israel, as a nation
has never believed in Jesus as
Messiah/Savior/King
COVENANT FULFILLMENT
WHERE FULFILLMENT HAS HAPPENED, IT HAS
BEEN LITERALLY FULFILLED, NOT
“SPIRITUALLY”.
CONSIDERING THE NEW COVENANT
(1) The New Covenant is based on the death of
Christ (Matt. 26:27-29; Luke 22:20).
(2) It was made with JUDAH/ISRAEL and not the
Church. (The Church is not Israel).
(3) In the future, Israel will come into it (Rom.
11:25-29). This is the primary purpose of the
“Tribulation.”
(4) At the time of Christ’s death and resurrection
it replaced the Old/First covenant which was
given at Mt. Sinai (Heb. 8:7; 10:9).
(5) The Church was unknown to the OT prophets
but gentile blessing was always known. (Gen.
12:3; 18:18)
(6) Believers today are a seed of Abraham (Gal.
3:16, 29). But the Church is not the fulfiller of
the Covenant but is rather a “partaker” of it.
(Rom. 11:11-17)

Israel who believed.
JESUS’ TEMPTATIONS
(1)
(2)
(3)
Jesus’ temptations were real. All 40
days; 3 key temptations; during His
entire life. (Heb. 2:18; 4:15).
The purpose of His temptation: to
demonstrate that Jesus was morally
qualified to be Messiah.
Questions: Did He sin? Could He sin?
AS A MAN HE WAS
TEMPTABLE; AS GOD
HE WAS IMPECCABLE.

GREAT NUMBERS OF MIRACLES WERE

MATTHEW 12
THE GREAT REJECTION






Rejection had been “brewing”.
Sabbath “work” becomes proof that
Jesus is not from God.
12:22---the miracles (not unusual)
12:23---the crowd response. Their
question expects a negative answer.
12:24---the Pharisee’s explanation.
12:25-45---Jesus’ response and defense
of Himself. A CRUCIAL MOMENT!!!
