NOAHIC COVENANT

Noahic Covenant

Noah was a righteous man Noah was a righteous man and blameless in his generation (see Gn 6:9)

Noah's Descendants

"Shem" means "name." The descendants of Ham are jealous and try to make a "shem for themselves in defiance of God's chosen line of Shem.

Abrahamic Covenant

COVENANT: PROMISED LAND

There are three Covenants God makes with Abraham

1. Gen 15: To make of his descendants a great nation (promised land), which is fulfilled by Moses
2. Gen 17: To make of his descendants a great kingdom (a son), which is fulfilled by David
3. Gen 22: that his descendants will be as plentiful as the sand and the stars and blessed by God, which is fulfilled in Jesus

Abraham's Journey to Canaan according to the Book of Genesis.

COVENANT: A GREAT NATION

On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the Euphrates, the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. (Gen 15:18–21)

COVENANT: A KINGDOM (SON)

Abram fell face down and God said to him:

For my part, here is my covenant with you: you are to become the father of a multitude of nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham,* for I am making you the father of a multitude of nations. I will make you exceedingly fertile; I will make nations of you; kings will stem from you.

I will maintain my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout the ages as an everlasting covenant, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land in which you are now residing as aliens, the whole land of Canaan, as a permanent possession; and I will be their God. 

God said to Abraham: For your part, you and your descendants after you must keep my covenant throughout the ages. This is the covenant between me and you and your descendants after you that you must keep: every male among you shall be circumcised. Circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
(Gen 17:3-11)

COVENANT: BLESSING UPON ALL NATIONS (descendants)

A second time the angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven and said: “I swear by my very self—oracle of the LORD—that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your son, your only one, I will bless you and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants will take possession of the gates of their enemies, and in your descendants all the nations of the earth will find blessing, because you obeyed my command.” (Gen 22:15-18)

New Covenant v. Mosaic Covenant

From Galatians 4:25:

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the freeborn woman. The son of the slave woman was born naturally, the son of the freeborn through a promise.

Now this is an allegory. These women represent two covenants. One was from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar. Hagar represents Sinai,* a mountain in Arabia; it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery along with her children.
