Regarding these two Scriptural Witnesses; which declare that He will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and the House of Judah:
Hebrews 8:8-12 J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)
8-12 Actually, however, God does show himself dissatisfied for he says to those under the first agreement: ‘Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. None of them shall teach his neighbour, and none his brother, saying, Know the Lord, for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more’.
Jeremiah 31:31-34 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:
33 but this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Has this been happening since Our Beloved Saviour returned to Our Heavenly Father - or is it yet to happen - as it appears that 'The New Covenant will be made when He writes His Laws on their hearts and minds' - and no one will need to teach his neighbour - as His Laws will be known by all the House of Israel, and all the House of Judah?
Or does it mean that it is 'By His Holy Spirit' that 'His Elect are taught'; and it is 'His Holy Spirit - that writes His Laws on the Elects' hearts and minds'?
These Old Testament Proverbs come to mind:
Proverbs 3:1-4 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
1. My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2 for length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4. so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 7:1-5 Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
1. My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
2. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
3. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
4. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
5. that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
Warmest Regards.
