 *2012-04-16 - NEW COVENANT MEDITATION*

 *God gave to Joshua a basis for successful meditation under the Old
Covenant - the Torah, the 5 books of Moses. Note the 3 conditions, and the
2 promises:*

*JOSHUA 1:8 (1:1-9) - “JEHOVAH'S CHARGE TO JOSHUA”*

(Parallel to Psalm 1:2)

l*o* - yaM*U*SH [4185] s*e*PHER [5612] ha-t*o*R*A*H [8451] hazZEH mipP*I*Yc*
a* [6310],

*This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth,*

ve-h*a*G*I*Ytha [1847] b*o* y*o*M*A*M veLAYlah,

*but you shall meditate on it day and night,*

leMAan tishM*O*R [8104] la-aS*O*TH [6213] ce-c*a*l - hac-c*a*TH*U*B [3789] b
*o*:

*that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it:*

c*i*y - *a*z tatzL*I*Yach [6743] eth - de-r*a*CEca [1870],

*for then you shall make your way prosperous,*

veAZ tasC*I*YL [7919].

*and then you shall have good success.*

 *The book of the law (sePHER ha-toRAH) was not to depart from Joshua's
mouth. For us as NT saints - it is the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah
31:31-34 that is not to depart from our mouths. Hebrews 8:6 confirms this,
for here the Holy Spirit through the writer tells us that Jesus is the
Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted or constituted as
Torah upon better promises. The “Mystery” of the “One New Man” revealed by
the Lord through Paul, shows that Gentiles share equally with Jews in the
wonderful New Covenant promises originally made to Israel. *

 *So - for us - we are to meditate day and night on the New Covenant. I am
linking a number of key passages - natural Greek Word Studies - that are
like mountain peaks of this covenant. We need the full covenant - but these
will help us get started, and also help us maintain this meditating posture.
*

 *And finally, the above two steps are to enable us to do what we speak and
meditate upon! Except we follow up the first two steps with doing what we
speak and meditate upon - we are like the man Jesus spoke of who built his
house upon the sand instead of upon a rock foundation (Matthew 7:24-27)! *

 *George Muller and Andrew Murray saw clearly that we must go beyond the
Old Covenant with its types and shadows - and enter into the reality of the
New Covenant, which is Christ Jesus Himself! However, we can use the
Tabernacle of Moses with its types and shadows and its 7 pieces of
furniture, to walk through daily many of the New Covenant sets of seven.
The 7 days of Creation fit here also. For added help in understanding the
present day application of the Tabernacle, one can purchase “The Tabernacle
Tour”, A Handbook on Heart Transformation by Jim Ray. See <
www.thetabernacletour.com>*
