A Presentation of Clifton Emahiser's Nine Covenants with Adam-Man

Christogenea Saturdays, December 26th, 2015. This is our final program for this year. Next week, or technically on January 4th, Christogenea.org turns 7 years old. It was founded the first week of January, 2009. We pray that this is only our beginning, and praise Yahweh for what we have been able to do thus far.

Tonight we are going to present the short essay Nine Covenants with Adam-Man by Clifton Emahiser. We remember that this is one of Clifton's first essays which he had distributed to his prison ministry as a brochure, probably back in 2001 or 2002. I remember proofreading this essay for him way back then, and it contains some concepts which in the narrower historical focus of the history of the children of Israel and the New Covenant, are often forgotten among Identity Christians today. We will present Clifton's paper, and hopefully edify it in some degree, by addressing some of the questions it may raise.

Recorded in Scripture are nine major Covenants between Yahweh and Adam-man. They are [as Clifton identifies them]: (1) Edenic, (2) Adamic, (3) Noahic, (4) Abrahamic, (5) Mosaic, (6) Palestinian, (7) Davidic, (8) Solomonic, and (9) The New Covenant. This does not include the Covenant made separately with Sarah. With these various Covenants, there are several elements. All of these Covenants are made exclusively and only with the descendants of Adam. Contrary to modern tradition, Adam was the father of the White race only. 

THE EDENIC COVENANT

Genesis 1:28-29: “And [Yahweh-singular] Elohim blessed them, and Elohim said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

The Edenic Covenant made Adam, being created in Yahweh’s own image, responsible to multiply, populate and subdue the earth. Adam was, therefore, given the office of priest-kingship and became Yahweh’s vice-regent, being accountable to Him in all his realm. Adam not only became king, but also high priest; making him Yahweh’s representative on earth to rule over all things therein. Thus, he found himself in charge of the whole visible creation before him, to contemplate and to make himself comfortable therewith. He was different from all men that had been before, inasmuch as he was both flesh and Spirit. The new element in the creation of Adam was being “in the image” and after the “likeness” of Yahweh Himself. In this context, it showed his ability to have communion with Yahweh; and later made the Incarnation of the Word possible. In being fruitful, Adam became responsible for bringing forth a race after his own likeness. Contrary to today’s pseudo-science, considering all the varieties found among men, they are not all of the same family or species.

We equate the concept of the image of Adam to the eternal Spirit of Yahweh instilled into the Adamic man. As we read in chapter 2 of the Wisdom of Solomon: “23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.”

From this covenant, many Christians derive a doctrine which may be called Dominion Theology. This sort of theology embraces the idea that the Adamic race should bring God's law to the other races, rule over them and use it to civilize them. They base their idea on this verse, along with a couple of others found later in Scripture, which are taken out of their context and applied in a universal manner.

The primary example is where it says in the law that “stranger that is within thy gates” must keep the Sabbath. However the truth of the matter is this: That Yahweh commanded the Israelites to force the strangers among them to keep the Sabbaths not for the benefit of the strangers, but so that the strangers would not be able to lead astray the Israelites who were commanded to keep the Sabbath.

If Dominion theology were true, we would not see this statement of David in the 147th Psalm: “19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. 20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.” 

If Dominion theology were true, the entire Bible would be consistent with it, and its proponents would not have to search for obscure scriptures to twist in order to support it. Yahweh told the children of Israel to make no covenants with the strangers, and that He was their God exclusively.

When we get to the covenant which Yahweh had made with Noah, we will more precisely see the form of dominion which the Adamic man was granted over the beasts of the earth.

Clifton continues to elaborate upon the creation of the Adamic man, from Genesis chapter 2:

Genesis 2:7: “And Yahweh Elohim formed Adam of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living soul (spirit).”

This is the account of the creation of Adam. While forming his body from the dust, only the impartation of Yahweh’s breath made him a living Spirit-man. The term “ruddy” is used for Adam as his descendants are the only men and women who can show blood in the face. The word yasar portrays the figure of a potter at work, molding with his hands the plastic material he holds. Being fashioned from the dust of the ground, the Spirit came from the “breath” of Yahweh. He is literally a creature of two worlds; both earth and heaven claim him. Hence, Yahweh is not only the former, but the Father of spirits:

By former here Clifton means one who forms. We do not have time to elaborate here, so we will be brief. Genesis 1:1 through 2:3 were a single scroll describing the Creation of Yahweh with the Adamic man as the pinnacle of that Creation. Genesis 2:4 through the end of Genesis chapter 4 are a second scroll, and a separate account picking up with the Creation of the Adamic man and continuing the story through his fall, and the resulting punishment through which the history of our race has unfolded to the present day. Genesis chapter 5 then begins a more detailed account of some of the history of the race, and how the scope of Yahweh's plan for the Adamic man was narrowed down to the seed of Abraham. The specific language of Genesis 2:4 and Genesis 5:1 proves our assertion in this regard, beyond all doubt.

As we have shown in detail in the opening segments of our relatively recent Pragmatic Genesis series, it is indisputable that Genesis chapter 2 is a recapitulation of the Creation events described in Genesis 1:26-29, depicting the same element of Creation in greater detail and from a more specific perspective. There were not two creations of the same Adamic man. All subsequent Scripture, along with the contents of Genesis itself, proves such claims to be absolute folly.

Clifton continues from later in Genesis chapter 2:

Genesis 2:18: “And Yahweh Elohim said, it is not good that Adam should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.”

Time brought the need for a helper who would be compatible to himself. His bride was formed from one of his ribs taken from his side as he slept. Upon receiving her, Adam was given head-ship over her. Adam, by being in charge, found himself responsible for any and all of Eve’s actions. Therefore, when Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, it was the same as if Adam had eaten of it himself. (There are other ramifications to this story which I don’t have room enough to present here.) Because Adam was the son of Yahweh, Eve’s sin, through Adam, was placed upon Yahweh’s head. Because Yahweh was married to Israel, when we as Israel sinned, it was laid to Yahweh’s charge. That is why He had to suffer death in our place. Thus, Adam became responsible for his own household throughout the ages (1 Corinthians 11:8-9). Shame wrought from either party reflects on the other, but, in the end, is charged to the Almighty for He is their maker. In creating Eve, her flesh was of Adam’s flesh. The only way a couple can be of one flesh is to marry one of their own race.

Ephesians 5:30-31: “For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh (one race).”

And Clifton's illustration here is excellent. As all of the beasts were disqualified, the wife of Adam had to be flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone, and that is the law for a legitimate marriage. Therefore Christ could not betroth anyone who would be in violation of that law.

In the ancient Near East, there are historical accounts describing what the Persians had done when a man committed a crime against the nation. The Persians would not only execute the culprit. They would go to his village or his neighborhood and execute all of his family and kin as well. 

We see a similar punishment in Joshua chapter 7: “24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.” Not only Achan, but his entire family, all of his animals, and even his material possessions were destroyed because of the crime which he had committed. The punishment is referred to later in Joshua chapter 22, where we see that the interpretation is true and it says: “20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.”

As Clifton said, there are many other implications in Genesis chapters 2 and 3, so many that a book is needed to discuss them, and we would still miss something. Adam was responsible for Eve, yet the serpent apparently found Eve off alone. Paul later tells the Corinthians that “… because of fornication each man must have his own wife, and each woman must have her own husband. The husband must render the obligation due to the wife, and in like manner the wife also to the husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; and in like manner also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife. Do not withdraw from one another, unless in agreement for a time, in order that you devote time to prayer, and come together into one place again, that the Adversary would not tempt you due to your incontinence.” With this, it becomes evident that Eve should not have been alone. In the ancient world, in the Medieval Christian world, and even until recent times, women – and especially maidens – were not accustomed to travel freely unescorted. So Adam certainly was just as responsible as Eve for their sin, and became more responsible when he joined her in it. However when Adam was called into account, he said “But that woman You gave me...”

Here Clifton moves on to what he calls the Adamic Covenant, 

THE ADAMIC COVENANT

Hardly had Eve been given to Adam as a mate of his own flesh and bone than Satan entered the scene representing the family tree they were warned not to “eat” or “touch” (Hebrew terms, in this case, having sexual connotations). Thus, Yahweh placed a curse on the product of that unholy union, initiating a continual life and death struggle between the offspring of the serpent and her offspring. The woman’s seed, therefore, is not that of the serpent, but of Adam. The Adamic covenant reads as follows:

Genesis 3:14-15: “And Yahweh said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field, upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shall thou eat all the days of thy life. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her [Adam’s] seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Since Eve’s seed is the same as Adam’s, the war of Genesis 3:15 is between Adam’s descendants and Cain’s. Nowhere in the Bible is Cain included in the genealogy of Adam, and the descendants of Cain, to this day, trace their lineage through their mother. Genesis 3:15 is called “The Protevangelion” which means “first Gospel”, therefore, no Gospel message is complete without it. It predicts a perpetual ongoing hostility between the descendants of Satan and the woman (she representing White mankind). The power of Satan was ultimately to be destroyed by the very offspring of Adam and Eve whom he had deceived. Though the seed of the woman are many, ONE would come to destroy the descendants of the serpent and their works. Adam is not mentioned in the Protevangelion (Genesis 3:15), therefore, the address is not to Adam and Eve, but to Eve and the serpent alone. Some suppose this passage to apply to a certain “enmity” between men and serpents (snakes); this is fantasy rather than reality. The cursed serpent was to “eat dust”, and that is why today they live off the refuse of junkyards and landfills. By the way, there is not a single snake species which eats and digests dust as its food. Here, the “dust” is symbolical of the serpent’s sauce rather than his meat; while creeping and groveling upon the earth, in taking food, he must necessarily also consume the dust and filth. That is why today’s “Jews” make a lot of money from pornography and everything immoral. Not until the total destruction of one or the other will the enmity of the two seeds end. The Protevangelion is therefore the earliest pronouncement of the Gospel; the long conflict between the literal children of Yahweh and the literal children of the evil one ... (The International Bible Commentary by F.F. Bruce, page 118.)

Adam himself being “dust” the serpent may be depicted as a parasite. Clifton's remarks concerning Genesis 3:15 are astute, however there is more which must be said here. While Genesis 3:15 is a punishment which also includes a definite promise to the Adamic man, we do not entirely agree that it describes only one single individual that will destroy all of the serpent's seed, even if that is the ultimate purpose of Christ. The seed on both sides of the Genesis 3:15 equation is a collective seed, the manner in which seed should properly be understood. Rather, God operates through his people, and that is the way in which Paul of Tarsus understood this verse when he had told the Romans that “the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.”

The first Gospel, or Protevangelion as it is called, is not completely expressed until we get to Genesis 3:22: “And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.” It is the serpent, the sin caused by the serpent's deception, and the struggle of Genesis 3:15 which man must be saved from, and therefore Genesis 3:22 depicts the Tree of Life, which is Yahshua Christ, as the way of Salvation. While Genesis 3:15 expresses the need, Genesis 3:22 completes the Adamic Covenant.

Now Clifton moves on to Genesis chapters 6 and 9 and the account of Yahweh's covenant with Noah:

THE NOAHIC COVENANT

Genesis 6:18: “But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.”

Genesis 9:1, 7, 8, 9, 11: “And Yahweh blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth ... bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein ... And Yahweh spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you ... neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.”

We could go into a long dissertation concerning the various details of Noah’s flood, but in this limited space it is paramount to demonstrate the most important facts. First of all, the purpose for the flood was to destroy from the face of earth the products of mixed-race marriages. The reason Noah and his family were preserved is because they were “perfect in their generations.” Here, the Hebrew word for “generations” means “race”, Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies, by William Wilson, page 184. Wilson specifically designates Genesis 6:9.

Actually, the purpose of the flood was to destroy the Adamic man who was engaged in race-mixing. The Rephaim giants, the products of race-mixing, survived the flood and are found in Genesis chapter 15 and elsewhere, along with the Kenite descendants of Cain. 

Yahweh made a covenant with Noah that: “neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood.” But, it is more serious than it sounds, for it is recorded at a future time, under similar circumstances; and for the same reasons, that the same thing will happen, except by fire:

2 Peter 3:6-7: “Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” (See also: Obadiah 18; Ezekiel 39:6, 9; Matthew 13:42)

One can almost visualize in their mind a holy fire from the Almighty moving at the speed of light in and out of every home where one of these resides, severing out and destroying those of mixed race; probably similar to 2 Kings 1:14 where fire came down out of heaven and destroyed two squads of 50 men of the king in Elijah’s presence. If this analogy is true, with all the multiculturalism and miscegenation that is going on in our present day, it would appear the undertakers all over the world are going to be quite busy.

It is always difficult to perceive ahead of time how a prophesied event might unfold, so we won't criticize Clifton at all for this statement. We just aren't certain how many undertakers can operate backhoes and bulldozers.

When Clifton wrote his essays, they were all designed to fit in a brochure format of 8 columns on an 8 1/2” by 14” piece of paper, so space was limited and he had to be rather concise. But there is another important aspect of Yahweh's covenant with Noah which is found in Genesis chapter 9, which we are compelled to discuss here: “1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.” 

This is the true Dominion theology: that the fear of the children of Adam through Noah is upon every beast of the earth. This is repeated later to the children of Israel among the consequences of their obedience to Yahweh found in Deuteronomy chapter 28: “1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God…. 7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways…. 9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.” That is the only true Dominion Theology.

Now Clifton proceeds to discuss Yahweh's promises to Abraham:

THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT

Genesis 13:16: “And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed be also numbered.” Genesis 15:5: “And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” Genesis 15:9-10: “And he (Yahweh) said unto him (Abram), Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.” Genesis 17:4-7: “As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shall be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be an Elohim unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.” Genesis 22:15-18: “And the angel of Yahweh called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith Yahweh, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the [Israel] nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” [Israel blessed primarily; others indirectly.] Genesis 28:13-15: “... I am Yahweh the Mighty One of Abraham thy father, and the Mighty One of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed. And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the [Israel] families of the earth be blessed [i.e., Mark 7:27-28]. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.” Genesis 32:12, 28: “And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude ... And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with Yahweh and with men, and hast prevailed.” Genesis 35:11: “And Yahweh said unto him (Jacob), I am Yahweh Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins.”

While not all the above is promised directly to Abraham, these passages are all basically The Abrahamic Covenant. These promises constitute the basic message of the entire Bible, and are speaking of Yahweh’s Kingdom. Because space will not allow it, I cannot go into all the details of the Abrahamic Covenant in this presentation. I did a paper entitled Born Under Contract in which I covered most of the particulars of which you may want to obtain a copy.

Perhaps we shall present and discuss Clifton's Born Under Contract one day in the near future. Here he speaks about it and says:

In that paper, it was explained that, if one is born of a certain lineage, he is under the above Covenants from his very first breath, which he cannot in any way annul; [it was also explained] how anyone else wanting to be under the Covenants is excluded; [and it was also explained] that those who are under these binding obligations will be chastised until they finally comply with the terms set forth, and how they have no choice in the matter. If you are of an Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Germanic, Scottish, Irish, Danish, Dutch, French, northern Italian, White Spanish or related background, you are under these Covenants whether you approve of them or not.

As Paul also explains, “you were bought with a price, and you are not your own”. In the patriarchal societies of the ancient world, the father had property rights over his wife and his children. Such a concept is an integral part of the Creation of Yahweh, and is evident in His Word. Therefore Abraham had the authority to cast Ishmael aside, and Abraham had the authority to place Isaac for sacrifice upon an altar. As Paul also said elsewhere, “Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay…?” Therefore the created have no right to protest the will of the Creator. In the end, every Adamic knee shall bow.

The Kingdom is spoken of in the book of Revelation, chapter 21, as a city four-square having twelve gates, and is called the New Jerusalem. It is not an ordinary city like Detroit, Indianapolis, Denver or someplace like that, which, when we arrive, we see a city-limits sign telling us where we are. We are told this city has foundations made up of jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald and many other precious stones. These very same stones were in the breastplate of the priests. Therefore, these foundation stones represent the people that make up the twelve Tribes of Israel. This city has a great high wall, and on each of its four sides are three gates with the names of the twelve patriarchs. Therefore, the only way to enter that city is by way of the patriarch of one’s lineage. The great high wall separates those on the inside from those on the outside. It is, therefore, a wall of racial segregation. Though the enemy today is persistently trying, in all his power, to break down this wall, it has a very firm foundation, and, in the end, he will fail.

Here Clifton has properly made the realization that the City of God in the Revelation is actually an allegory for the people. The City is the people, and the people are the City. They were born from above, as their father Adam was the Son of God (Luke 3:34), so the City descends out of heaven. If one is not of the twelve tribes, one cannot possibly ever be a part of that City of God.

THE MOSAIC COVENANT

There is much that could be said concerning the Mosaic Covenant, such as the exclusion of relationships to [or better with] other foreign sovereign powers. Broadly speaking, the Mosaic Covenant included the Ten Commandments portraying one’s duty to the Almighty and his fellow Adamic man. No society can long exist without laws and ordinances for they will revert to anarchy. Thus, was commanded blessings for obedience and cursings for disobedience of Yahweh’s Laws. Adam-Israel is the only people who have ever been under the Law of Yahweh. Not going into all of this in detail, we will dwell mainly on the most important feature of the Mosaic Covenant; the marriage of Israel to Yahweh:

Deuteronomy 26:17-18: “Thou hast avouched Yahweh this day to be thy Elohim, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice: And Yahweh hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments.” (These are Israel’s wedding vows.)

Later, Israel would break these vows, making it mandatory for Yahweh to divorce her. By Law, the two parties could never remarry unless one or the other were to die. By Yahweh coming in Adam’s flesh and dying at Calvary, He made it possible for a reuniting of the two parties, which is defined as Redemption.

Many people, even Identity Christians, think that the failure on the part of Israel to keep the Mosaic Covenant somehow affected the covenant which Yahweh had made with Abraham. However nothing could be further from the truth. As Paul of Tarsus wrote to the Galatians, “16 Now to Abraham the promises have been spoken, and to his offspring. It does not say "and to offsprings", as of many; but as of one: "and to your offspring," which are anointed. 17 Now this I say, a covenant validated beforehand by Yahweh, the law which arrived after four hundred and thirty years does not invalidate, by which the promise is left idle.”

Abraham was promised that many nations and kings would come from his loins, among other things. But Abraham was not promised a unified kingdom government and peace under Godly government. That was the Mosaic covenant. The promises to Abraham are unconditional. The promises under the Mosaic covenant are conditional upon the obedience of Israel to the laws which were made to govern that Kingdom. When they failed to keep those laws, they forfeited the protection of God needed to maintain the Kingdom. In Christ, the offspring of Abraham anticipate restoration to a Godly Kingdom and peace once again.

Clifton moves on to another Covenant related to the Old Testament Israelite Kingdom:

THE PALESTINIAN COVENANT

Deuteronomy 30:19: “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

While this is not the Palestinian Covenant in itself, this is the warning for not obeying the provisions thereof:

Deuteronomy 28:1, 15: “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that Yahweh thy Elohim will set thee on high above all nations of the earth ... But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee.”

To understand, it would be necessary to read all the blessings and cursings of Deuteronomy chapters 27 & 28. Yahweh had commissioned Israel to kill every member of the race-mixed group of Canaanite nations, man, woman and child without mercy, Exodus 15:14-16; 23:32-33; 34:11-12; Deuteronomy 7:1-3; 20:16-17. Not only did they refuse to destroy those peoples, they adopted some of their abominable ways which brought the cursings upon them. I am going to use only one example of the cursings, Deuteronomy 28:43-44: “The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.” This has been literally fulfilled in the central banks which are today in all Israel lands. In the United States, we have the “Jewish” communist controlled Federal Reserve System (fifth plank of the Karl Marx manifesto). This is the same agency which collects the Federal communist income tax under the name of The Internal Revenue Service (second plank of the Karl Marx manifesto). As the curse says, we will borrow from the “Jew”, but he will not borrow from us. Ironically, the “Jews” are the same people we refused to destroy when we were in Palestine.

Of course, Clifton was being concise, but this Palestinian Covenant was indeed a covenant over and above the original Levitical covenant, as we may read in Deuteronomy chapter 29: “1 These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.”

Now he moves on to the covenant with David:

THE DAVIDIC COVENANT

1 Samuel 16:13: “Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of Yahweh came upon David from that day forward.”

Psalm 89: 34-37: “My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Once I have sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.”

Jeremiah 33:20-21: “Thus saith Yahweh; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne ...” 

David, as a lad, was a shepherd. He spent many days and nights tending his father’s sheep. The sheep could never be left alone for there were a tremendous number of wolves in those days. Because of the gun, in our day, the wolf population has been brought under control. David’s defense against the wolves was a slingshot. No doubt, he practiced by the hour to become proficient with it, so, when it became necessary, he could kill a wolf with the first shot. Later, as a young man, he would put his skill to good use by killing a giant. Thus, David the warrior killed many men; a man after Messiah’s own heart foreshadowing His glorious return.

Many might say, “Yahweh has broken his word to David, as the Throne of David was nonexistent in Palestine for nearly 600 years during the inter-testament period.” Though Zedekiah was taken captive by Babylon, and all of his sons killed before his eyes, he still had an heir, because in Israel there was a provision for daughters to inherit the throne if there were no male descendants (Numbers 27:7-8). Therefore, Jeremiah took Zedekiah’s two daughters (Ezekiel 17:22-24) to Spain and Ireland. No sooner had Jeremiah arrived in Ireland with Tea Tephi (Zedekiah’s daughter of the Pharez royal family) than he arranged for her marriage to Eochaidh, the Heremonn, a prince of the Tuatha de Danaans on his mother’s side and a direct descendant of Fenesia Farsa, and thus of the line of Zerah, twin brother of Pharez of the Royal House of Judah, uniting the Royal House of Pharez and the Royal House of Zerah. Lastly, Yahshua, at His First Advent, became priest, but He is yet to be crowned King at His Second Advent.

It is very plausible, that through Zedekiah's daughters the promise to David was sustained by Yahweh. But Zedekiah was placed on the throne by the Babylonians, who had removed Jeconiah and brought him to Babylon a prisoner. Then through Jeconiah, the brother of Zedekiah, descended Zerubbabel who returned to Jerusalem, and from whom Joseph the husband of Mary had descended. Through Joseph, Christ inherited the lawful right to the throne of David through Jeconiah although because Jeconiah was cursed, none of the line of legitimate kings since Jeconiah had actually held that throne. They had the hereditary right to it, but they never exercised rule.

Clifton continues with the promises to Solomon:

THE SOLOMONIC COVENANT

2 Samuel 7:12-16: “And when thy (David’s) days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. He (Solomon) shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: But my mercy shall not depart away from him ... And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.”

What we must understand is: our Messiah got His authority from Solomon’s throne, but He was not from Solomon’s bloodline. Actually, Yahshua was from the bloodline of Mary through Nathan, Solomon’s brother. Solomon’s line followed on down through Judah’s Kings to Jeconiah, when a curse was placed that none of Jeconiah’s seed would ever again sit on the throne, Jeremiah 22:30. At the time of the Incarnation, Mary’s husband, Joseph, was a descendant of the cursed Jeconiah. Because Yahshua became the legal son of Joseph, Joseph was able to pass on the throne to the Messiah without the curse falling on Him. Although Solomon’s bloodline didn’t follow on down to the Messiah, it did bypass Jeconiah’s curse through Zedekiah’s daughter, Tea Tephi, going on to Ireland.

This is a very complex topic, but Clifton is certainly right to say that Yahshua Christ inherited the throne through Jeconiah, however Christ not being an actual physical descendant of Jeconiah, He could indeed sit on the throne which He had inherited, where Jeconiah's physical descendants had been barred. With this, Clifton proceeds to the final covenant:

THE NEW COVENANT

Hebrews 8:8-11 & (Jeremiah 31:31-32): “... Behold the days come saith Yahweh, 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 continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahweh. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Yahweh; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them an Elohim, and they shall be to me a people. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.”

It’s saying here that the teaching of, “you must know the Lord” is going to be discontinued. It’s simply amazing, for this is exactly what Judeo-churchianity is teaching today. It’s incredible, because it was never true in the first place, for He does the choosing, not us.

Many today call themselves “New Testament Christians.” The question arises: What is a New Testament Christian, anyway? Some seem to be under the impression that the Old Testament dealt with the “Jews” and the Law; that somehow the Almighty had been unsuccessful with the “Jews” and, when they rejected Him, He decided to extend the plan of salvation to the so-called “Gentiles.” Many flatly state the New Testament church is not connected with Old Testament Law; that the Law was abandoned at the Cross and the emphasis is now on Grace, suggesting “whosoever” may come. Since the expression “New Testament Christian” is used so widely, maybe it would be well if someone would explain what the [use] of the term “testament” means. Just what is this New Testament? If one is going to use the term, and teach it to others, they surely ought to know what the term means! Both the word “covenant” and the word “testament” come from the Greek word #1242 in the Strongs Concordance. Both words simply mean “contract.” All these nine Covenants we have been considering are thus contracts.

In a covenant or contract, it is important to have all the parties named, as no contract without naming the parties is worth the paper and ink. So, too, the contract must specify the performance expected from each of the parties spelled out in legal terms. Contracts are binding on all parties, and each of them can legally force the others to perform exactly as set forth. Well, who are the parties of the New Testament? Does your Bible specify the party of the second part as the “Gentiles”, or “whosoever will?” The answer is NO! This exclusive contract is made only with two entities: the House of Israel and the House of Judah! The next question is: If you are not a member of either of these two houses, what right do you have to the New Testament contract, whatever the legal terms are? It’s obvious, you don’t have any right whatsoever!

Some argue the “Gentiles” are “grafted” in, and are granted a place under the Covenant. One should be reminded that only olive branches can be grafted into olive trees. It should be noted, the olive tree is Israel’s symbol, so it is not talking about someone else. Others argue non-Israelite Gentiles became “spiritual Israel.” No such term exists in all Scripture! Therefore, the parties named in the New Testament are the same parties of the Old Testament! Almighty Yahweh has not changed His mind and abandoned His people Israel and Judah in favor of “all men” or “whosoever will”, but made His New Testament with the very same people as before. What legal right would the Almighty have for changing the parties mentioned in the contract in the middle of the stream? We may break the terms for our obligations, but Yahweh would never think of such a thing; and it is blasphemous for anyone to even suggest such a thing, for it accuses Him of fraud by forgery.

We have often seen in the epistles of the apostles, that even long after the Resurrection, the children of Israel are reckoned by tribes, and accounted according to the flesh. There is no so-called “spiritual Israel”.

The plain truth is: the New Testament was never made for a so-called “church”, “Gentiles”, or “whosoever”, and the Bible never suggests otherwise. Rather, it specifies a very distinct racial and national entity, with implications based on Yahweh’s Law. The New Testament went into effect the very instant Yahshua died and gave up the ghost.

Contrary to some, Yahweh does not promote universalism! What is universalism but Catholicism? What is Catholicism, but pluralism? What is pluralism, but multiculturalism? What is multiculturalism, but International Jewish Communism? What is International Jewish Communism, but Covenant-defrauding, modern-day Judeo- churchianity?

What can we now add to that? The point of Clifton's paper is to show that Yahweh's promises have multiple layers of abstraction, but at all levels they were made exclusively with a single race of people. Then as we progress through the Scripture, we see more and better promises, but the scope of those better promises is narrowed down to a single family. The scope is never widened, and the unconditional promises to that single family can never be changed. However all of the promises of God in the unconditional covenants still stand. They are supplemented by later covenants, but they are never dissolved.
