Heaven’s unbreakable thread: Tracing God’s covenant through generations (Genesis 25–26; 2Samuel 5–6; Hebrews 12)

An Adobe Firefly digital painting of six robed men walking through water, tied together with a rope, symbolizing a connection through generations. The central figure, dressed in red, is illuminated by light from above. The background features a dramatic sky with clouds and golden sunlight. The text "Heaven’s unbreakable thread" is displayed prominently, followed by "Tracing God’s covenant through generations" and references to Genesis 25-26, 2 Samuel 5-6, and Hebrews 12. A logo for hallel.info is in the bottom right corner.

In this study of Genesis 25–26, 2Samuel 5–6, and Hebrews 12, we explore God’s enduring covenant of faithfulness. From Esau’s rash birthright trade to David’s seeking divine guidance, these passages reveal our human frailty and God’s unwavering commitment. The Messiah emerges as the ultimate fulfillment of the covenant between Heaven and Abraham, bridging generations and offering hope. Through the anointing of Yeshua (Jesus), we’re called to reverence, obedience and trust of Heaven’s leading, recognizing that our legacy is defined not by our beginnings, but by our response to God’s gracious promise.

Transformed from within: The promise of the New Covenant (Deuteronomy 32; Micah 7; Hebrews 9–10)

"Transformed from within: The promise of the New Covenant (Deuteronomy 32; Micah 7: Hebrews 9-10)." Adobe Firefly AI layered-paper-style image of a woman standing on a shore while her suitcase sits at the bottom of the ocean. Micah 7:19b: "You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea."

Humility before the Almighty is the heart of the swan song of Moshe (Moses), recorded in the Torah reading הַאֲזִינוּ Ha’azinu (“listen,” Deuteronomy 32). We learn that the people of God are not righteous in themselves, but they are made righteous by God’s mercy. In this study, we explore how a parallel passage in Micah 7:18–20 points us toward Heaven’s removal of the stain of our pasts and how Hebrews 9–10 reveals the Messiah’s pivotal role in that freedom, annually memorialized on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).

When divisiveness is toxic to the people of God but essential to humanity’s survival (Genesis 32–36; 1Corinthians 5)

When divisiveness is toxic to the people of God but essential to humanity's survival (Genesis 32-36; 1Corinthians 5)

God hates divorce — schism in what should be a supportive whole. But Heaven also brings division to separate truth from falsehood — good from bad — for the sake of all humanity. That’s a key lesson from the Torah reading וַיִּשְׁלַח Vayishlach (“and He sent,” Genesis 32:4–36:43) that shows why those who live like Eysau (Esau) can’t be part of the legacy of Israel: Messiah Yeshua (Christ Jesus).
