Description: The two great covenants that we call the Old and New Testaments are the great mountain peaks of history, of revelation, and of the one true faith. This study concerns the practical and historical aspects of the covenants and their bearing upon the closely related subject of Messianic prophecy and fulfillment. The position taken is that a peaceful and prosperous future for this sin-cursed world cannot be realized until there is a clearer understanding of the covenants and a more consistent application of covenant truth in the everyday life of the Christian and the church.

The outstanding promise of the Old Testament – the great hope of Old Covenant Israel––was the coming (advent) of Messiah. Yet it was only the actual advent which disclosed the full meaning of that long–promised event. Even those closest to Jesus remained largely in ignorance of the purpose and effects of the advent until they saw the risen Christ, heard His teaching, and participated in the miracle of Pentecost. The establishment and expansion of the Christian church and the conversion of the Gentiles gradually removed the scales from their spiritual vision.

Similarly the event alone will reveal to us the full meaning of the second coming, its accompaniments, and its effects. In the case of the advent, there was abundance of descriptive detail, some of it in what seems to us the plainest possible terms; but its meaning was not understood even by the most enlightened and pious of the faithful Remnant of Jesus' day. Even so it will be also with our understanding of the second coming. The event itself is certain: but its time, its character, its accompaniments, and its detailed effects, are concealed in language which is designed to stir up our zeal and diligence in present duty, rather than to satisfy the curiosity of inquisitive minds.
