Ep. 85 - Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism - The New Covenant

In this episode, the men of the It Stands Written podcast continue their series on covenant theology and dispensationalism by diving deep into the new covenant. The hosts take an expository approach, examining key Old Testament passages from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel to understand God's promises of forgiveness, the indwelling Holy Spirit, and a new heart for His people. They explore the connection between the new covenant and Israel's future restoration to the land, emphasizing how these promises remain tied to the nation of Israel while also pointing to the coming Messiah. The discussion traces the fulfillment of the new covenant through Jesus' Last Supper declaration and His 40 days of teaching about the Kingdom of God after His resurrection. Throughout the conversation, the team addresses common theological controversies while staying grounded in what the biblical text actually says, avoiding systematic arguments in favor of letting Scripture speak for itself. The episode sets up crucial questions about the church's relationship to these covenants and Israel's future—questions they promise to answer in the next installment.
