BIBLICAL COVENANTALISM: The Covenants and the New Covenant in the Prophets (2)

This entry is part 14 of 28 in the series Biblical Covenantalism

Dr Henebury has been teaching that the New Covenant is needed to enable the other unilateral covenants to be (literally) fulfilled.  He has also pointed out that the New Covenant is a Person (Christ – Isa. 49:8).  But it is in Jeremiah and Ezekiel where the confluence of the covenants together in the Kingdom Age is most clearly seen.

What is Progressive Revelation? (Pt. 6)

This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series Progressive Revelation

From what I have written in support of this definition several things come out:

1. Revelation is, for the most part, unambiguous clear communication or it is not good communication

2. The progressive revealing must be amenable to tracking so as to ensure it is cohesive and non-contradictory.

3. The idea of progressive revelation, then, also carries the notion of expectancy, based on the content of what God revealed.”

What is Progressive Revelation? (Pt.5)

This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series Progressive Revelation

“This brings us to a fourth observation: the “progression” was merely that of historical pronouncements couched in types and shadows, not in plain language.  All that is meant by “progressive” is “communication at different times.”  Meanwhile, all “revelation” turns out to be is “obtuse disclosure” which would remain unclear and misleading until the “fulfillment” was announced!”
