SCRIPTURE

"And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah;" — Ezekiel 16:62 (ASV)

Establish my covenant with you. —The old covenant, having failed, is merged in the new and better covenant promised in Ezekiel 11:19; Ezekiel 18:31; and more fully in Jeremiah 31:31-34. This new covenant, established through a perfect Mediator, can alone perfectly fulfill God’s gracious designs for humankind, although the way for it must necessarily have been prepared by the less perfect covenant of old.
