          Yahowah will 
			Renew His Covenant with Yisra'El when His feet land on Mount 
			Mowriyah at the end of Tribulation. Jer. 31:31-33 
			As you can see there is only ONE mention of Renewed 
			Covenant in all of Scripture and it has not happened yet. 
			  
			
			
			“The goal for you and me 
			
			(la) 
			
			is to be observant 
			
			(shamar
			
			
			– to closely examine, to carefully consider, to thoroughly 
			investigate, and to thoughtfully evaluate), 
			lest(pen)
			
			
			you ignore and forget 
			
			(shakah 
			
			– you stop being mindful of the significance, and fail to respond 
			appropriately to) 
			
			Yahowah 
			
			(efei), your God’s(‘elohym), Family-Oriented Covenant 
			Relationship 
			
			(beryth 
			
			– mutually binding agreement, nurturing household promise, 
			relational accord, marriage vow based upon home and family (feminine 
			singular, scribed in the construct form, eternally binding, 
			connecting, and associating the 
			
			beryth 
			
			– covenant with Yahowah, Himself)), 
			which as a result of this relationship 
			
			(‘asher)
			
			He has cut 
			
			(karat)with you all 
			
			(‘eth), and 
			
			(wa) 
			
			you create for yourselves 
			
			(la 
			‘asah 
			
			– you make on your behalf) 
			
			an idolatrous image 
			
			(pesel 
			
			– an object of worship and adoration), 
			a representation 
			
			(temuwnah
			
			
			– likeness, form, or semblance) 
			
			of anything 
			
			(kol)
			
			
			which 
			
			(‘asher)
			
			
			Yahowah 
			
			(efei), your God, has instructed and 
			directed you regarding 
			
			(sawah 
			
			– warned you about).”
			
			
			(Dabarym 
			
			/ Words / Deuteronomy4:23) Most people are not observant, and as a 
			result most are ignorant of God’s Family-Oriented Covenant 
			Relationship. The vast preponderance of people favor instead the 
			words of Paul, Muhammad, and Marx. And, as you look around you, 
			idolatrous images permeate the political, religious, and economic 
			landscape. It is almost as if Yahowah had never written this 
			instruction in His Torah.This next passage provides a valuable 
			insight regarding the nature of God. It is followed by some 
			suggestions we’d all be wise to heed—that is to say: pay especially 
			close attention. This then evolves into a very sobering warning:
			
			
			“Forindeed 
			
			(ky) 
			
			Yahowah 
			
			(efei), your God 
			
			(‘elohym), is a nurturing 
			(‘akal)
			
			fire 
			(‘esh
			
			
			– an enlightening and warming light). 
			He 
			
			(huw’)
			
			
			is a passionate, zealous, and jealous 
			
			(qana’
			
			
			– monogamous, exclusive, uncompromising, emotional, andrelationally 
			loving) 
			
			God 
			(‘el).” 
			
			(Dabarym
			
			
			/ Words / Deuteronomy 4:24) Those who dislike the God of the Torah, 
			often throw His “qana’
			
			
			– jealousy” back in His face, as if it was an immature expression. 
			And while zealousness is offensive to those who lack passion, any 
			real commitment, and who are amoral multiculturalists, it is one of 
			Yahowah’s defining characteristics. Today, compromise is considered 
			virtuous, but such is not the case with God. Albeit, Paul’s 
			presentation of love in First Corinthians 13, where he says that 
			“love is not jealous,” that “love does not seek its own,” that “love 
			is not provoked,” and that“love does not take into account a wrong 
			suffered,” all conflict with Yahowah’s testimony in this regard, 
			presenting yet another place where the wanna be apostle and God 
			disagree. Real love, the kind where devotion is expressed through 
			genuine caring and a steadfast, unwavering commitment is passionate, 
			zealous, and jealous. It is protective. It is monogamous and not 
			adulterous. Those who are not bothered by a husband or wife leaving 
			them for another, never really loved them in the firstplace.In the 
			following passage, Yahowah, speaking through Moseh, correctly 
			predicts that His children will stray, and that they will do 
			precisely what we have done, which is to pollute our world with 
			idolatrous images which are offensive to God. He then warns us that 
			Moseh, a.k.a., the Torah, will be called as a witness against those 
			who have surrounded themselves with these corruptions. 
			
			“Indeed(ky), 
			when you have children 
			
			(yalad), 
			and your children have children 
			
			(wa benbenym), 
			and you endure a long time 
			
			(yasen)
			
			
			in the land 
			
			(ba ha ‘erets), 
			and 
			
			(wa)you 
			corrupt it 
			
			(shahat 
			
			– you destroy and ruin it) 
			
			by creating for yourselves 
			
			(la‘asah
			
			
			– making on yourselves) 
			
			idolatrous images 
			
			(pesel 
			
			– objects of worship and adoration), 
			representations 
			
			(temuwnah
			
			
			– likenesses or semblances) 
			
			of anything(kol), 
			or in His eyes 
			
			(‘ayin 
			
			– from His perspective) 
			
			you do 
			
			(‘asah 
			– 
			
			actively engaging in and celebrating) 
			
			that which is against the standard 
			
			(ra’
			
			
			– that which is evil and harmful, troubling, disagreeable, 
			malignant, injurious, and displeasing) 
			
			according to 
			
			(la)
			
			
			Yahowah 
			
			(efei), your God 
			
			(‘elohym),provoking Him to anger 
			
			(ka’as 
			
			– causing Him grief or displeasure, saddening or distressing Him, 
			vexing or incensing Him), 
			I will be called to be a witness and testify 
			
			(‘uwd)
			
			against you 
			
			(ba) 
			
			that day 
			
			(yowm)
			
			in association with 
			(‘eth)
			
			the spiritual realm of the heavens
			
			
			(shamaym), 
			and in accord with 
			
			(wa ‘eth)
			
			
			the material realm of the earth 
			
			(‘erets). And indeed 
			
			(ky
			
			
			– truly, surely, andreliably), 
			you will die and be completely destroyed, ceasing to exist 
			
			
			(‘abad‘abad
			
			
			– upon your death, you will perish, vanishing into nothingness, you 
			will die and be annihilated and exterminated, your whereabouts 
			completely unknown, your lives squandered, and wasted) 
			
			quickly 
			
			(maher 
			
			– swiftly, speedily, and without delay).”
			
			
			(Dabarym
			
			
			/ Words / Deuteronomy 4:25-26)The Christians who excuse their 
			idolatrous religion by suggesting that its trimmings don’t matter 
			because God knows what is in their hearts, haven’t read or 
			considered this verse—or any of the Torah for that matter. For 
			indeed, while it speaks of feelings, it reminds us that religious 
			corruptions and images provoke God to anger. Also relevant, 
			according to God the witness of the Torah will continue to prevail 
			in Heaven and on Earth. There is no mention, nor any possibility of 
			a “New Testament.” 
            
          Marriage Covenant: 
           
          Marriage is Based in and on Covenant, FAMILY. When a man and woman marry, the 
          moment they say I do, Yahowah 
          stands as a witness to the marriage sealing it with the strongest 
          possible word: “Covenant” (Hebrew berit) “Covenant” speaks of 
          a exclusive, zealious and jealous, vigilantly maintained and guarded commitment 
			enduring forever. 
           
          Divorce is described as “Violence,” because it does violence to 
			Yahowah’s 
          intention for marriage, to the mate to whom one has been joined, and 
          to the children of that union as well as the community of people 
			around you. Prov. 2:17 even equates on who forsakes 
          their spouse with one who forgets Yahowah’s covenant. However, where 
          husband and wife abide in the commitment of their marriage vows, all 
          the power of a covenant-keeping God stands behind them and their 
          marriage. 
           
          Yahowah highly prizes and supports the concept of “covenant” commitment 
          because it is a picture of His love and faithfulness to us. To see the 
          nature of how He would have us apply this concept, study Yahowah’s first 
          covenant Gen. 6-9 as it records; the desire for a relationship Gen. 
          6:18; Gen. 9; 9; Gen. 9:11: the giving of a token sign to seal the 
          covenant Gen 9:12-13; and the eternal commitment of the covenant Gen. 
          9:16. Covenant is given as the guarantee of Yahowah’s unending fidelity, 
          and He calls us to the same truth and spirit of Love’s deepest meaning 
          Gen. 2:24 Song 7:1-9 
           
          Understanding Covenant: 
          
           
          A Covenant agreement is binding on all participating parties and at 
          the demand of any covenant agreement participant the other covenant 
          participants are required by agreement to give everything the parties in 
          need require. Also this works both ways for either participating party 
          who has needs, the other participating parties are obligated by 
          agreement to supply the 
          needs of their fellow covenant relationship partners. 
           
          Covenant promises go beyond the Rabinical Jewish laws with all their rules, 
			regulations and demands or mans traditions. Yahowah sets in place 
			the boundary's of His covenant by His Word and His Spirit of 
			Truth. Once a covenant is established between Yahowah and Mankind, 
			Yahowah puts everything He is and has as a collateral pledge to 
			fulfill His Promise to the covenant person or persons. In other 
			words Yahowah gives literal ownership of everything He is and has to 
			His covenant participants as long as they obey Yahowah and their Covenant. There are two rights given by 
			Yahowah to mankind, #1 the 
			right to know #2 the right to choose.
