In this episode, Dr. Michael Grisanti, Old Testament professor at The Master’s Seminary, walks us through the grand narrative of Scripture by examining the biblical covenants—Noahic, Abrahamic, Davidic, and New. We explore how these covenants form the foundation of God’s redemptive plan, their fulfillment in Christ, and their implications within a premillennial framework. Key topics include the Abrahamic Covenant’s promises, the significance of the Genesis 15 ceremony, the dual horizons of the Davidic Covenant, and how messianic expectations point to Christ’s first and second coming. Tune in for a rich discussion on how the Bible’s storyline fits together as one cohesive narrative. 00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast 01:49 Covenants and God's Plan 10:23 The Abrahamic Covenant 14:08 The Unconditional Covenant Debate 16:38 The Covenant Ceremony (Genesis 15) 22:33 The Fulfilment of the Davidic Covenant 32:35 How Covenants Point to a Premillennial Reign 35:52 Is it all about Israel?
