The Covenant Chain: God, Christ, Husband, Wife
An examination of the four-link covenant structure in Ephesians 5. What it demands of every party in the chain. What it means when one party breaks covenant.
Structured lectures drawn directly from the biblical text. Each one is written as a complete, word-for-word script — detailed enough to teach, careful enough to hold up under scrutiny.
A multi-part teaching series examining the covenant structure that runs from creation through Revelation — the God-Christ-husband-wife chain of covenant authority, and what happens at every level when that chain is broken. Each lecture in this series is designed to stand alone or work as part of a sequence.
An examination of the four-link covenant structure in Ephesians 5. What it demands of every party in the chain. What it means when one party breaks covenant.
The rebellion pattern runs through four levels of Scripture — celestial, garden, national, and marital. Each one follows the same sequence. Each one carries the same consequence.
The garden narrative is not primarily about fruit. It is about the order of covenant headship, who was addressed first, and what it cost everyone when that order was reversed.
Israel's idolatry is described throughout the prophets as adultery. This is not a metaphor selected for emotional effect. It is a precise covenantal description.
Why the American church abandoned clear teaching on divorce, when it happened, and what that silence has cost the people who needed an honest answer.
Jesus addressed the man who marries a divorced woman directly. Most teachings on divorce and remarriage avoid that address. This one does not.
Biblical repentance is not an internal experience. It is an act. This teaching examines what genuine repentance from adultery looks like — and why the church has largely stopped saying.
Biblical theology, by definition, comes from the biblical text — not from Christian history, or the writings of Christians about the Bible. Here is what that commitment demands in practice.
The bill of divorcement in Deuteronomy 24 was issued by the covenant head — the husband. Understanding who held that authority explains why Jesus said what he said to the woman who took it for herself.
The apostles used the word without defining it because they assumed their audience knew the Torah. Most modern readers do not. This teaching supplies what was assumed.
