Referenced to Hebrews 8:8
The relation of Christ to the eight
covenants is as follows: (1) To the Edenic Covenant, Christ, as the "second
man" and the "last Adam" (1 Cor 15:45 - 47), takes the place
over all things which the first Adam lost (Col 2:10; Heb 2:7 - 9). (2) He is
the Seed of the woman of the Adamic Covenant (Gen 3:15; John 12:31; Gal 4:4;
1 John 3:8; Rev 20:10), and fulfilled its conditions of toil (Mark 6:3) and
obedience (Phil 2:8; Heb 5:8). (3) As the greatest Son of Shem, in Him was fulfilled
supremely the promise to Shem in the Noahic Covenant (Gen 9:16, note; Col 2:9).
(4) He is the Seed to whom the promises were made in the Abrahamic Covenant,
the Son of Abraham obedient unto death (Gen 22:18; Gal 3:16; Phil 2:8). (5)
He lived sinlessly under the Mosaic Covenant and bore for us its curse (Gal
3:10 - 13). (6) He lived obediently as a Jew in the land under the Palestinian
Covenant, and will yet perform its gracious promises (Deu 28:1 - 30:9). (7)
He is the Seed, Heir, and King under the Davidic Covenant (Mat 1:1; Luke 1:31
-33). And (8) His sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant (Mat 26:28;
1 Cor 11:25).
