Diagrams of the Biblical Covenants
I was recently asked for a diagram as to how I understand the Biblical Covenants fit together.
I’ve pasted here (http://liftedveil.org/diagrams-of-the-biblical-covenants/) what I came up with plus what has been sent to me by a friend. They should be downloadable by right-clicking on the links and saving them. See also the zip file below with all of them together.
1a. Simplified Chart:- http://liftedveil.org/content/nctdiagrams/1a_NCT_View_Simplified_ShaneBecker.pdf
1b. Expanded Chart:-

(The only note I’d add is that the above diagrams could be read as saying there were no spiritual aspects to the Old/Mosaic covenant. There was, however that didn’t define the covenant or its membership. Being part of National Israel defined the membership of that covenant Deut 4:13, 5:1-3).
2a. Chart from Kyle Frampton:- http://liftedveil.org/content/nctdiagrams/2a_NCT_CT_DT_Diagram_fromKyleFrampton.pdf
2b. Notes from Kyle:- http://liftedveil.org/content/nctdiagrams/2b_NCT_CT_D_Notes_fromKyleFrampton.pdf
I also have these developed earlier which may be of interest.
3. New Covenant Newness Table: http://liftedveil.org/content/nctdiagrams/3_NC_Newness.pdf
4. Primary Redemptive Covenants Table (Abrahamic, Old, New). http://liftedveil.org/content/nctdiagrams/4_CovenantsTable.pdf
(Again, in table format the covenants can appear a bit ‘flat’. I think viewing this table along side ‘1b’ above will be a good way of getting a handle on things. Also, I’m not sure that now I’d speak of the Lord’s Supper as the sign - singular - of the New Covenant. It certainly is identified as the primary ceremonial sign. Now, I’d probably speak of the signs - plural - of the New Covenant. Don’t know. I think the table is still correct - maybe needs minor qualification to identify ‘Primary Physical Sign’ or something.)
5. Sabbath Timeline: http://liftedveil.org/content/nctdiagrams/5_SabbathTimeLine.pdf
(This was developed to aid discussions with Sunday Sabbaterians. I should add a box 9 at the end to identify Christ as our eternal Sabbath rest per Colossians 2).

I’m also expecting a diagram, which is a work in progress, from Josh Wood outlining where different people sit on the continuity/discontinuity line. I’ll past it here also when it is completed.
And of all my charts and stuff, this is my all time favorite illustration that I developed a few years back (although it is not directly related to the subject at hand):-
