The Covenant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Part 1 of the Covenants In the Biblical Evolution Revolution Series

By Michael Stansfield

The first book in the Covenants Section of the Biblical Evolution Revolution series, delves deep into the Abrahamic Covenant and uses it, rather than the Messianic Covenant, to interpret Old Testament scripture. This singular change reveals an intriguing perspective of the Bible with the hope of generating peace and love between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The viewpoint of the author is a direct challenge the mainstream beliefs of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. With the discussion of Islam, the author’s perspective of the Quran is used as an intrical part of the prophecy, rather than as an opposing viewpoint. The discussion is candid and in-depth. Specifically, on how the covenants relate to the Jewish Palestinian Conflict as well as the War on Terror. Like all the books in the Biblical Evolution Revolution Series, once you read the book you will never see the world the same way again.

On your average passport, there is section labeled nationality or citizenship.  For most countries, the terms are used interchangeably, but in the Jewish State, they have two very different meanings.  Citizenship means the name of the land or soil, while nationality refers to one’s ethnicity.  Hence an average Jewish passport reads citizenship Israel, nationality Jewish or Arab.  In 2013 a linguist by the name of Uzzi Ornan challenged the Jewish Supreme court to use a universal Israeli nationality because both Arabs and Jews are Israeli, but the high court ruled that was not possible because there is no proof of the existence of a uniquely Israeli people. 

Covenant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

The Bible itself has numerous themes, but the three most prevalent are the Abrahamic Covenant, which is God’s Covenant with Israel, the Covenant of the Messiah, and the Levitical Priesthood.  Christianity has focused on the Covenant of the Messiah, while Judaism has concentrated on the Covenant of the Torah, aka the Levitical Priesthood.  The Covenant of Israel is known today as Zionism and caused a great deal of animosity from both Christians and Jewish Zionists towards the Palestinian and Arab people. Because the Abrahamic Covenant is neither the basis of Christianity or Judaism neither has a firm grasp on it, and the need to truly understand it is vital to the health, welfare, and prosperity of millions of Arabs and Palestinians. These covenants cover vast portions of the Bible.  Thus, I reference significant portions of the Bible so that I may present to you a general understanding of the covenant with the hope that the animosity between these group may be exchanged for brotherhood and love. 

The Hope of Abraham

In the early history of the earth Lucifer, the prince of this world, had other sons of HaElohim under him to record the depravity of humanity.  These children of HaElohim were known as the Watchers.[i]  Among these, Azâzêl, the angel of warfare, who taught humanity how to forge various metals for the manufacturing of swords and spears.[ii]  These discoveries resulted in such havoc and desolation that Azâzêl and those angels with him were bound in the abyss.[iii]  The lasting horror and evolution of these discoveries are broadcast nightly through the evening news networks.  Yet these same discoveries have also blossomed into the production of farm equipment, among other things, which is essential to life and the general well-being of humanity. 

The Bible used in the right way is the path of Life (Elohim) but applied in the wrong way; it is the path of Death (HaElohim).  Politics and religion, without a doubt, shape our world. In the right hands and done in the right way, they have the potential to transform the Earth into Shangri-La.  However, in its current shape and form, our world only seems to descend further into wars and death.  In effect, a hell of our own design. When Christ was asked what the two greatest commandments were, he responded: Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.  All the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments.[iv]  The law and prophets comprise the bulk of the Old Testament, also known as the Hebrew Tanakh.  Christ did not say that all the law and the prophets were to testify of his coming, but that the law and prophets brought a message of love.  Yet, today, the law and the prophets are used to justify our present middle east conflict.  It is used to justify taking the land from one race (the Palestinians) and giving it to another (the Jews).  It is used to declare one set of people as chosen (the Jews) and the other (the Arabs) as God’s enemies. 

At its root, racism raises one race by lowering that of another.  In short, either the law and the prophets were not a message of love or the message has been skewed by the religions which hold to it.  I intend to show how the law and prophets, are not different, but in line with the command of Christ calling on Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and indeed all of humanity, to love one another, and especially their enemies by showing how God chooses to love the Arabs and Muslims that Evangelicals and Jewish Zionists hate.  He does this to teach humanity about love and to help us love our enemies.  I am going to show how the Old Testament is indeed a message of peace, and if the world truly understood its message, there would be no conflict between these religions. 

Whether one realizes it or not, humanity is at the crossroads of an epoch time in history, in which our world will be given a choice to continue in the dark ages or emerge into the light. The light of this work is the political science of the Kingdom of Heaven, a Divine Covenant, a promise if you will, given to humanity in the Bible. Not a place of myth and legend, but instead, I will present it as the practical living reality molding the world from the foundations of history. 

In order that the full evidence may be revealed to all, to prove that the cumulative history of the earth and civilization is an ultimate and delicately, intricately, and Divinely woven preordained strategy, it is necessary to come to terms with this solid foundation presently being laid for the coming Kingdom. A foundation that began by Divine design in the most ancient of days.  We start at the beginning with the days leading up to the promise of this Kingdom given to Abraham and his descendants.  It is only through such an understanding that the full illumination of what was written in the Bible may be unveiled as the cumulative by-product that forged humanity, resulting in our present age, as well as the age to come.[v]  I will not only provide an image of the love that is coming but also present an explanation for why this present evil age is necessary to help humanity on its evolutionary road.

In the early days of the earth, following the flood, the descendants of Noah divided the known world into three sections, in accordance with Noah’s three sons: Japheth, Shem, and Ham.  From Mt. Ararat, which is believed to exist in the mountain range where eastern Turkey meets northwestern Iran, where the ark landed, Japheth (the father of the Caucasian peoples, whose name means to expand) and his descendants migrated north and west to inhabit the lands of Russia and Europe. Ham (the father of the African peoples, whose name means heat) inherited the modern Middle East region, as well as the entire African continent.  Although Ham inherited many lands, the Middle East region was historically the most beautiful, lush, and green.[vi]  Ham gave this inheritance to his son Canaan;[vii] however, Canaan was cursed.[viii]  It was this curse that was subverted by much of Europe and America to justify slavery and the African Slave Trade.  Shem (the father of the Asian peoples) and his descendants inherited the land of the East, from Persia to China.[ix]

Among the descendants of Shem, there existed a person named Abram, who, while the rest of the sons of Shem were dwelling in or migrating to the land of the east, was called by the Word of LOVE to turn back to the West and live among the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham.[x] For this, he was called a stranger in a land not of his own or of his family.[xi]  When Abram arrived in Canaan, the Word of LOVE came to him again.  LOVE decreed that Abram’s descendants would become many nations[xii] and a civilization like the stars of the sky;[xiii] thus, he was named Abraham, father of many.[xiv]  Abraham, however, was old and did not have a child and an heir through Sarai, his wife. Because of this, Sarai gave him Hagar, her maidservant, the daughter of Pharaoh, to be his wife.[xv]  Hagar gave birth to a son named Ishmael.  Yet Ishmael, although given a great promised blessing from LOVE,[xvi] was not an heir to the birthright of Abraham.[xvii] For the Word of LOVE instructed Abraham that Sarai is to be renamed to Sarah because she would become the mother of many.[xviii]  Moreover, it came to pass that Sarah, who was barren in her old age, gave birth to a son, Isaac, for LOVE made her conceive.[xix]  LOVE gave many promises to Abraham. However, it was for his faith in
