The Newer Testament — The Veil Version

The Final Covenant

Chapter IV — Of the Covenant and the Soil
1. In the beginning was the promise, and the promise was given not to earth alone, but to a people who bore His name.
2. The land was hallowed for their sake, a dwelling of covenant, a sign unto the nations.
3. Zion was honored, for in her streets the prophets cried, and in her dust the feet of the faithful walked.
4. Yet the covenant abideth not in borders, nor is holiness bound by decrees of men; it is written upon hearts and sealed by the Spirit.
5. For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the mountains and the rivers bear His witness alike.
6. Blessed is every land that remembereth righteousness, for the breath of the Almighty maketh it sacred.
7. The sons of Jacob received the promise, yet the nations also are called, that no people may boast, and no soil may claim all glory.
8. For wherever truth is planted, there springs a holy ground; and wherever justice walketh, there riseth a sanctuary.
9. Yea, a new inheritance is revealed, not with trumpet nor sword, but with the quiet rising of a people who fear God and love one another.
10. The covenant remaineth with the faithful in every dwelling, whether born in Zion or afar, for His Spirit knoweth no boundary.
11. Yea, I have seen Zion’s dust bear life, and I honor it; yet the promise floweth beyond names and borders, a river none may claim.
12. And the sacred ground shall be known not by ancient walls alone, but by the shining of His light upon a nation awakened to Him.
