How did God make a covenant with Abraham and Moses?

In: Old Testament [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

A covenant sometimes denotes an agreement between to persons, more often beteeen God and man. Because of their righteousness, God made covenants between Abraham, Moses and many other righteous people. Covenants are made through the Spirit giving a message to the individual or through the voice of Christ who speaks for the father. The covenant made to Moses was that he was to be the father of a great nation, as also was Abraham so blessed that the Savior would come through his line. It was through Moses that the law of God was given (The Commandments).Though the original stone plates were broken and a lesser law was given. Moses was given insites to many great things and Abraham was shown all of the workings of the heavens and is perhaps the greatest astonomer of all time.
