Question

directions: please complete the following worksheet by class time tomorrow. answers (except for the table) must be in complete sentences.

1. complete the table:

Explanation:

The table compares key details of the Davidic Covenant and New Covenant from Abrahamic religious tradition, specifically Christian and Jewish biblical frameworks:

1. Promise: The Davidic Covenant guarantees an eternal royal line from David, while the New Covenant promises forgiveness of sin and a transformed spiritual relationship with God.
2. Parties: The Davidic Covenant is between God and King David (and his descendants). The New Covenant is between God and all people (Christian framing: through Jesus Christ).
3. Condition: The Davidic Covenant requires obedience to God's laws for the line to remain; the New Covenant's core condition is faith/acceptance of the covenant's terms (no strict ritual adherence in Christian interpretation).
4. Sign: The Davidic Covenant has no specific, single formal sign beyond the establishment of David's kingdom; the New Covenant's central sign is the Eucharist/Communion (Christian tradition), or for some, the internal work of the Holy Spirit.

Answer:

	Davidic Covenant	New Covenant
Parties:	God and King David (and his future descendants/house of David)	God and all humanity (in Christian tradition, mediated through Jesus Christ)
Condition:	The Davidic kings and their people must remain obedient to God's commandments to uphold the dynasty.	For Christians, the primary condition is faith in Jesus Christ as the mediator of the covenant; for some Jewish interpretations, it is a universal covenant for all who turn to God.
Sign:	No single formal sign; the ongoing existence of David's royal line and the kingdom of Israel served as the visible marker.	In Christian tradition, the Eucharist (Lord's Supper) is the primary sign; additionally, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is seen as an internal sign.
