The Kingdom

and

Theocratic Covenants

ne way God establishes His kingdom on the earth is by making
and fulfilling covenants. In the Old Testament, God made several
O“theocratic covenants” with His people. Theocratic covenants
are related to the government of God and contribute to the fulfilling of
God’s mission, the missio Dei. Four important theocratic covenants are:

• The Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12:1–3).
• The Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19:5–6).
• The Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:11–16).
• The New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31–34).

Each of these theocratic covenants is used by God to advance His
kingdom on the earth.

The Abrahamic Covenant

The Abrahamic Covenant is found in Genesis 12:1–3:

The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people
and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
