What Are We to Make of IsraelSteve Gregg
"The Sinaitic Covenant by Steve Gregg explores the divine mandate of the nation of Israel and its connection to the Abrahamic Covenant. Gregg emphasizes that the covenant made with Israel is conditional, unlike the unconditional promises made to Abraham. He highlights the importance of obedience and how Israel's faithfulness determines their role as a kingdom of priests. Gregg also discusses the consequences of disobeying the covenant, including the rise of enemies and being plucked off the land. Ultimately, he argues that the New Covenant through Christ extends to both Jews and Gentiles, fulfilling the purpose of the Sinaitic Covenant and establishing a kingdom of priests."
