God he is the faithful God, which keepeth _Covenant_ and mercy with them that love him and _keep his commandments_ to a thousand _generations_." Is not this as much as 63,000 years in the future? Will he break it, then think ye? No, you know it means forever! Deut. vii: 9. Do you still doubt. Let him speak once more. "_My Covenant will I not BREAK nor ALTER_ [look at this, you that say God has _altered_ this Covenant so as to change this Sabbath from the 7th to the 1st day of the week.] _the thing that has gone out of my mouth._" Psl. lxxxix: 34. Then it is immutable! unchangeable! immortal! as well may man undertake to annihilate the sun. [51]Jesus then, as I have shown, came to establish the new _Covenant_, and as I have before stated, he stripped off all these appendages, the _law of ceremonies_, the _hand writing_ of _ordinances_, the _carnal commandments_ (Paul,) from the first _Covenant_, the ten commandments, leaving them pure as when they first came from his Father's hand, and nailed as Paul shows to the Col. all these ceremonies to his cross, at the same hour he sealed the new _Covenant_ with his blood, called the _everlasting Covenant_. Heb. xiii: 20. Paul in the viii. ch. on this Covenant, extracts from Jer. xxxi: 31-34, which shows us clearly what he means (see 8-12v,) and says in the 7 v., if the first one had been faultless then no place could be found for the second. 6 v. says this covenant is established on better promises because Jesus is the mediator of it. xii: 24. In x: 15, 16, he quotes from the viii. ch. to show that the Holy Ghost is also a witness. See how, in ii. Rom. 13-16, "when the Gentiles which have not the _law_, (that is the ten commandments on tables of stone) DO the things contained in the _law_ (the ten commandments) they show the work of the _law_ (the ten commandments) written on their hearts, their thoughts in the mean while accusing, or else excusing, (when, Paul?) in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by my gospel." Then it must be now. Oh no, says the reader, Paul means at the day of judgment.--I am glad you admit that condemnation overtakes the transgressors of the law written on our hearts somewhere. For proof that he means the commandments read 21, 22 v.; you will of course understand that it is not the law of ceremonies, for these had been abolished more than 25 years before. See chronology A. D. 60. Now see Heb. viii: 10 again. "I will put my _laws_ into their minds and write them in their hearts." This is the very same, the commandment, the _covenant_, for there is no other _law_ called God's _law_ that we can refer to in the bible but this. In Jer. xxxii: 40, the everlasting covenant which Paul quotes in xiii Heb. is the same promise as in Jer. xxxi. Now in Ezek. xvi: 8. This is the first covenant to Moses; that it is broken see 59 v. 60-62, shows the second covenant as in Jer., read the history in the chapter.
