The New Covenant…In Deuteronomy?

September 12, 2015

In this week's teaching, Ross shares insights from Torah reading Nitzavim (Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20). This Torah reading contains the words of a covenant delivered in the land of Moab. All who read these words immediately recognize this, but is there more to this than has been previously noticed? Ross explores the words of this covenant and compares them with passages found elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures to reveal the intended audience of this ancient covenant. Could the covenant presented in Deuteronomy 29-30 describe a coming covenant also spoken of by Jeremiah? Is this covenant the New Covenant of Jeremiah?
