The immutability of the Lord's Covenants

The immutability of God's covenants

With the world in such a chaotic state with diversities of ideologies especially in the area of spirituality and the majority of people deceiving others and themselves being deceived, it is of paramount importance that each individual try as much as possible to understand the different covenant that God made with His creation and the immutability of these covenants because, at the end of it all  each one of us shall give account of him/herself to God and in addition to that ignorant of the law is no excuse.

It is quite evident that God has in the past made several covenants with both nature and man, and apparently without a covenant man has no relationship with God. A covenant is a solemn agreement which God as the Covenantor made with His creation the covenantee, and in order to demonstrate the authenticity and immutability of the agreement God sealed them with remarkable signs which keep us in remembrance of God’s promise.

We can for example look at seven covenants which God made with His creation, and the signs which demonstrate the immutability of that particular covenant.

1. God’s Covenant with Day and Night

God made a covenant with day and night saying; “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth” (Genesis 1:14-15).

So immutable is this covenant, that the Lord said to the prophet Jeremiah; “If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season, then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levites, the priests, My ministers” (Jeremiah 33:20-21).

The remarkable sign of this unbreakable covenant is the two great lights. The greater light (sun) to rule the day: and the lesser light (moon) to rule the night. He made the stars also, and set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness” (Genesis 1:16-18).

Anything to the contrary will be regarded as a supernatural event, something beyond the physical realm.
