42:6; Psalm 89:3).
The conditions of this covenant were, (1.) On the part of the Father (a) all
needful preparation to the Son for the accomplishment of his work
(Hebrews 10:5; Isaiah 42:1-7); (b) support in the work (Luke 22:43); and
(c) a glorious reward in the exaltation of Christ when his work was done
(Phil. 2:6-11), his investiture with universal dominion (John 5:22; Psalm
110:1), his having the administration of the covenant committed into his
hands (Matthew 28:18; John 1:12; 17:2; Acts 2:33), and in the final
salvation of all his people (Isaiah 35:10; 53:10, 11; Jeremiah 31:33; Titus
1:2). (2.) On the part of the Son the conditions were (a) his becoming
incarnate (Galatians 4:4, 5); and (b) as the second Adam his representing
all his people, assuming their place and undertaking all their obligations
under the violated covenant of works; (c) obeying the law (Psalm 40:8;
Isaiah 42:21; John 9:4, 5), and (d) suffering its penalty (Isaiah 53; 2
Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 3:13), in their stead.
Christ, the mediator of, fulfils all its conditions in behalf of his people, and
dispenses to them all its blessings. In Hebrews 8:6; 9:15; 12:24, this title is
given to Christ. (See DISPENSATION.)
Another Bible Timeline fact –>COVERING OF THE EYES occurs only in Genesis 20:16. In the Revised
Version the rendering is ?it (i.e., Abimelech?s present of 1,000 pieces of
silver to Abraham) is for thee a covering of the eyes.? This has been
regarded as an implied advice to Sarah to conform to the custom of married
women, and wear a complete veil, covering the eyes as well as the rest of
the face.
Another Bible Timeline fact –>COVETOUSNESS a strong desire after the possession of worldly things
(Colossians 3:5; Ephesians 5:5; Hebrews 13:5; 1 Timothy 6:9, 10;
Matthew 6:20). It assumes sometimes the more aggravated form of avarice,
which is the mark of cold-hearted worldliness.
