TWO COVENANTS
Two covenants made by God, each 2,000 years long, make up a 4,000 year Kingdom plan. The first was a preparation contract,
maturing at the important date of Jesus Christ's death. The second, a legal contract for the building of a Kingdom administration,its power obtained from the value of Christ's ransoming death.
FIRST 2,000 YEAR CONTRACT.
The first covenant covered a 2,000 year preparation process, laying down directions leading to the Christ. His identification was sign posted through Abraham's lineage. The contract was agreed with Abraham, while he was living in the city of Ur in Mesopotamia in the year 1968 BC. It ends exactly 2,000 years later, on the year of Christ's death in 33 AD. "God chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham; you found his heart faithful before you, and made with him a covenant" Neh 9: 7-8.
God invited Abraham to work with him in setting up a blood line lineage. Provided Abraham co-operated, God guaranteed that a future descendant of his would eventually come through his blood line who would bring benefits to all mankind. “Go from your country (Chaldea) and your kindred and your father’s house (Ur) to the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed," Gen 12:1-3. "He (God) said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed." Acts 3:25 NIV.
To seal this agreement, the requirement of circumcision was imposed on Abraham and all his male descendants. A chain of male circumcised linking generations was set up. It created a sign posted and highlighted trail leading to the one who would bring benefits to all mankind. "God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you" Genesis 17:9-11.
From the time God inaugurated His circumcision blood line covenant with Abraham in 1968 BC, it continued for a further 2,000 years, through an unbroken line linking 42 generations of circumcised fathers until the "benefits to all mankind" were provided in the year 33 AD, with the ransoming death of Jesus Christ. So how do all nations of mankind benefit from this circumcised descendant of Abraham? "The promises spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “and to your descendants,” in the sense of many. Rather, it says, “and to your offspring,” in the sense of one, who is Christ," Gal 3:14,16. "You are the sons of the ...covenant that God made .. saying to Abraham 'by means of your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed' v26 after raising up his servant (Jesus) God sent him to you (the disciples) first" Acts 3:25-26.
The benefit is a cure for mankind's inherited death sentence. "For just as through Adam all die, so also through Christ all will (future) be made alive again," 1 Cor 15:22. Christ undoes the effects of our inherited short life span contracted from Adam, by purchasing the opportunity of perpetual life for the entire human race while rebalancing the legal scales. "Christ Jesus, gave himself a corresponding ransom for all" 1 Tim 2:6. This unique benefit of offering mankind the opportunity to live again, is achieved through the mechanism of resurrections - "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" Acts 24:15. The power to enable these resurrections was achieved by the payment of a life ransoming death, corresponding to the life that originally brought about the death sentence on mankind.
These resurrection benefits we are informed will be administered through God's new estate headed by His representative King of kings over His Kingdom administration. "You were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, v10 and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth” Rev 5:9-10. Once the sacrificial death of Christ had been carried out, there was no longer any need for the continuation of a circumcised lineage, the contract had matured after 2,000 years. The bloodline covenant ended in 33 with Jesus' execution. This unique sacrificed life provided a legal basis upon which the promised "benefits to all mankind" could be built. The next 2,000 year covenant was a blood contract drawn up on the power of Christ's sacrificed blood. It becomes the foundation upon which a facility can be built for applying these promised benefits to all mankind.

SECOND 2,000 YEAR CONTRACT.
After the 2,000 year Abraham contract matured, when the promised offspring of Abraham provided the ransom sacrifice in 33 AD, a second Kingdom contract was immediately validated. These two covenants run tandem, they both remain in force for the same length of time, both fixed term 2000 year contracts. The death of Jesus Christ in 33 divides these two covenants. On the day of Jesus' death, the Abraham covenant matured and ended, and the new Kingdom covenant commenced.
The first individuals invited to become party to this second contract were the 11 apostles on the day that it was validated, April (Nisan 14th) of the year 33. Jesus followed a very precise timetable and script set by his Father for inaugurating this new contract. A few hours before it was validated by his death, he stated: "This wine representing my blood validates the covenant which is to be dispensed out on behalf of many for the cancelling of sin (Adamic and personal), I will not drink any more this symbolic wine until the day when I drink it again with you in the Kingdom" (Matthew 26:28-29). This covenant offered them personal contractual involvement in Kingdom activity with Christ and a share in judging which people would receive a 'better' earthly resurrection. "I covenant to give you, as my Father has covenanted to give me, a Kingdom so that you shall eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom, and sit on thrones as judges over the twelve tribes of Israel" Luke 22:29-30 Weymouth New testament Bible.
On the day of its validation, Jesus said he would drink it with these 11, along with a further 143,989 contractors (saints) when the contract matured and the benefits of this Kingdom contract would be paid out to them by way of positions in the Kingdom administration. All these, he "bought from the earth" by his life, his blood sacrifice.
Revelation 7:4 " And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred forty-four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the people of Israel" New Revised Standard Version.
Revelation 14:1 "Then I looked, and there was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion! And with him were one hundred forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads" New Revised Standard Version.
Revelation 14:3 ".. they sing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could
learn that song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who have been redeemed from the earth" NRSV.
As with the Abraham covenant, the Kingdom also runs for a 2,000 year term. Started in 33 AD, it matures 2,000 years later, when the full number will be complete and the Kingdom set up in the heavens. This new administration will then, step by step bring about the promised benefits to all mankind. "For an administration at the full limit of the appointed times, namely, to gather all things together again in the Christ, the things in the heavens and the things on the earth. Yes, in him" Eph 1:10.

1968 BC. The second Kingdom contract, pivots forward from 33 AD for 2,000 years to 2033.
