Before we look at the third dispensation contained within the Book of Revelation and the last three
feasts of Leviticus 23, let me elaborate on a needful area from the centerfold diagram on the previous
two pages. Specifically, I want to draw your attention to the three terms of the New Covenant and how
they relate to the three divisions of the feasts: “THIS IS THE COVENANT

presented as the whole-truth. What is being
taught under the banner of “the New Covenant of 1. “...I WILL PUT MY LAWS IN

other two terms of the New Covenant reveal God’s
ultimate objectives for saving us by His grace.
The New Covenant has three terms-not one! They were given to unfold a progressive method by which
redeemed man can progress from his initial encounter with God (RELATIONSHIP to God), to a deeper
walk with God by means of the tutorship of the Holy Spirit (DISCIPLESHIP by God), unto God’s
ultimate intention for redeemed man (FELLOWSHIP with God).
