The RENEWED COVENANT of the OLD TESTAMENT: Michael Rood's Hebrew Roots Camp has it BACKWARDS !



There was indeed a RENEWED COVENANT between The ELOHIM and the people of GOD. It was the OLD Covenant  which was renewed every year at The PASSOVER during Old Testament times.
  The NEW COVENANT is
totally different .
Unfortunately, Mr. Rood's Chronological Gospels has it backwards . . .


 
Mr. Rood calls the NEW COVENANT a "renewed" Covenant in Matthew 26:28 , re-wording the WORD+ of GOD from the mouth of Our LORD: 
" . . . for this is the RENEWED Covenant in MY+ BLOOD"
   
Also unfortunately for his readers, Mr. Rood has NO MANUSCRIPT AUTHORITY for changing NEW to RENEWED. Nor is there any grammar, spelling, nor linguistic differentiation to warrant such a change in that verse. 

Even the deplorable SHEM TOV has the Hebrew word for NEW [ ChaDaSH ] throughout Matthew's verses 26: 28 and 29 here, and the English translation reads simply "NEW." [ Online copy , PDF page 75, document pages 134 (Hebrew) and page 135 ( English) at this link:  SHEM TOV translated by Dr. George Howard  ].  


Because it does not support his version , Mr. Rood makes no mention of his favorite manuscript ( the Ancient Hebrew Matthew, the SHEM TOV ) at this verse ! 
The RENEWED Covenant 
during the OLD Testament days.


The Passover was a BLOOD Covenant which HAD to be renewed every year, as outlined in  Numbers 9 , Exodus 12 , 2 Chronicles 30 and 2 Chronicles 35, among other Scriptures.

The Penalty for NOT KEEPING THE PASSOVER was severe:  That soul would be cut off from the congregation of Israel. 

 NUMBERS 9: 13  
But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed season; that man shall bear his sin.

Every year, this Passover HAD to be kept and the Covenant with The ELOHIM was then RENEWED for another 12 months for each person in Israel who kept the Passover. 

It was a BLOOD Covenant, but the Passover was not known before the time of Moses. The Passover was established BEFORE the giving of the Law on Mr. Sinai, the Mount of GOD,  as the Israelites exited Egypt. 

The BLOOD of the Passover is what "covered" their abode and kept them safe from the death Angel of YHWH.  They were required to keep it every year . . . long before the City of David or Jerusalem was established. 

NOW, however . . .  

there is a NEW and BETTER Covenant established .  This NEW and BETTER Covenant does not require anyone to RENEW their Covenant with The ELOHIM . . . for this NEW COVENANT was established with BETTER BLOOD+ than the blood of sheep or goats. 


Hear what the Writer of the book of Hebrews explains in chapter 7:

 
11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the Law,)

what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity
a change also of the Law.


13 For HE+ of Whom+ these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

14 For it is evident that our LORD sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.


15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, 16 Who+ is made, not after the Law of a carnal commandment, but after

the power of an endless life.


17 For HE testifieth, THOU+ art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.



19 For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did;

by the which

we draw nigh unto GOD.

20 And inasmuch as not without an oath HE+ was made priest:
 21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but THIS [ ONE+ ] with an oath by HIM that said unto HIM+, The LORD sware and will not repent, THOU+ art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek:)

22 By so much was JESUS ( Y'SHU+) made a surety of a BETTER  COVENANT .

This GREAT, NEW COVENANT --- original, never-done-before or since, and NEVER TO BE REPEATED --- which came through The LORD JESUS CHRIST ( Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+ )  also accomplished a BRAND NEW THING:  

Out of twain, Jew and Gentile, has come ONE NEW MAN:  The Redeemed follower of CHRIST JESUS , Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+  . . . from every family, tongue, people, and nation.  

The MESSIAH+ was not the sole property of the Jews. For as it is written, In thy SEED+ ( singular) , shall ALL the peoples of the earth be blessed.


For HE+ is our peace,

Who+ hath made both one,

and hath broken down the Middle Wall of partition between us;

 Having abolished in His+ Flesh the enmity, even the Law of Commandments contained in ordinances;

for to make in HIMSELF+ of twain one new man, so making peace;

 And that HE+ might reconcile both unto GOD in one body by the Cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Ephesians 2: 14-16

NOW... 

the Old Covenant is finished; it does not have to be RENEWED every year.  The LAW of MOSES is no longer in effect.  It is nullified, as per Hebrews 7:18  . It is ineffectual . 

The New HIGH PRIEST, the one Who+ is unchangable and High Priest FOREVER after the order of Melchizidek, has CHANGED THE LAW , as per Hebrews 7:12.
  

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity
a change also of the Law.

HE+ fulfilled ALL THE Old Covenant Law giving HIMSELF+ as the Holy Sacrifice to cover us, to cover our sins.   HE+ became our atonement . . . our Divine COVERING , our KIPPURIM. 


The LORD JESUS , Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA+ , did this when HE+ nailed it all with HIM+ on the Cross. 
 

And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath HE+ quickened together with HIM+, having forgiven you all trespasses;

 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His+ Cross;

And having spoiled principalities and powers, HE+ made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 
Colossians 2:13-15

The NEW COVENANT --- a NEW LAW established by our NEW High Priest+ , according to Scriptures --- is NOW in effect. 

The RENEWED COVENANT of the Old Testament 
is done away with;

it NO longer must be RENEWED EVERY YEAR, 
either in or out of Jerusalem.
