There are only two covenants in contrast to the many covenants when contextually the topic is one replacing the other. The Noahaic covenant (Gen.6) was not replaced by the “New Covenant” (Heb.8), and therefore would not be considered ‘the first covenant” although it came first temporally.

I like reading biblical genealogies – they make for quick reading! The eyes just skim over names that the tongue would stumble over, so why slow down? The mind prepares itself for some numbing reading, eyes glaze over, brain disengaged…. Then bam! The brain kicks in because the eyes saw something other than just a […]
