Q:How does the everlasting covenant between God and his Son become a decree for a believer?
A:God established man in terms of the Law of the Spirit by breathing into his nostrils. He became a living soul. St Paul calls it "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart."(2 Co.3:3) Adam represented all as his sin affected by the same token all man. God established the Law of the Spirit as he set the stone in Zion (Is.28:16 to symbolize the Spirit of Christ. Zion and Jerusalem are consequently spoken with reference to the heavenly places which shall be same in the last days as was founded before the foundation of the world. "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."(Is.2:2)
The Advent of his Son is foretold by Prophet Zechariah here, "for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch." The stone mentioned refers to him. " For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes." (Ze.3: 8-9). Joshua (the Hebrew variant name for Jesus) signifies the OldTestament of the stone tables while the Law of the Spirit has already established on Zion from which the Law was to go forth. Coming back to the Isaiah quote 'that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills.' one is as far apart as the throne is from the footstool. (Is.66:1). The hills are what the earthly Jerusalem represent. In this context when the Lamb brakes open the sixth seal we have the people cry, "And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb."(Re.6:16)
