Unbreakable: God’s Promises to Israel and the Coming Kingdom
For your encouragement and edification
‘“God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?’
Numbers 23:19
God’s Covenants Are Unbreakable
At the heart of God’s relationship with Israel is the word “covenant.” It is one of the most powerful and binding terms in all of Scripture. A covenant is a divinely initiated agreement between God and man, in which God makes promises that are often accompanied by specific obligations. These are not mere contracts—they are sacred, binding commitments rooted in the character and faithfulness of God.
The Lord made six covenants with the nation of Israel:
- The Abrahamic Covenant – the foundational promise of a nation, land, and blessing to all nations (Genesis 12, 15, 17).
- The Mosaic Covenant – the giving of the Law at Sinai, conditional on obedience (Exodus 19–24).
- The Sabbatic Covenant – God’s promise of rest and blessing through observance of the Sabbath cycle, both weekly and in the land (Exodus 31:12–17; Leviticus 25–26).
- The Palestinian (Land) Covenant – a reaffirmation of the land promise, with blessings for obedience and consequences for disobedience, but ultimate restoration guaranteed (Deuteronomy 29–30).
- The Davidic Covenant – the eternal promise of a king from David’s line to rule over Israel (2 Samuel 7).
- The New Covenant – a promise of spiritual renewal, forgiveness, and God’s Spirit written on the hearts of Israel (Jeremiah 31:31–37; Ezekiel 36).
Why This Matters
For centuries, many have claimed that the Church has replaced Israel, and that these promises were either conditional or forfeited. But Scripture tells a different story. God is not finished with Israel. His covenants—some conditional, others unconditional—are irrevocable (Romans 11:29). What He began with Abraham, He will fulfill through Christ.
This series will walk through each of these six covenants, showing from Scripture how they unfold, where they stand today, and how they point to the future literal Kingdom of God on earth. We will also examine how the prophets, Jesus, Paul, and the book of Revelation all confirm that God’s promises to Israel remain intact—and unfulfilled in their fullness—awaiting a future glorious fulfillment.
