LAW COVENANT

PURPOSE: It protects the "offspring" and helps the people to identify the Messiah

DAVIDIC COVENANT

BETWEEN: Jehovah and David

PURPOSE: It establishes that the Messianic King would be a descendant of David and that the Kingdom will last forever

COVENANT FOR A PRIEST LIKE MELCHIZEDEK

BETWEEN: Jehovah and Jesus

PURPOSE: It is the legal guarantee that the main part of the woman's "offspring," who is Jesus, will be king and priest forever

NEW COVENANT
