The Sabbath A Perpetual Covenant - Herbert W Armstrong - September 18, 1928

Herbert W Armstrong

Do we not define a covenant as a mutual agreement between two parties? Is that not the description by which we recognize a covenant in the Bible? Now let us consider Ex. 31:12-18. "And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel. . (the children of Israel here have the meaning of the blood-descendants of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the twelve tribes, literally). "saying, Verily my' Sabbaths shall ye keep: FOR IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS..." between God and whom? YOUR GENERATIONS..." between God and whom? The twelve tribes, or descendants of Jacob-Israel, God's chosen earthly race, Now WHY? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
