Covenant versus Testament
“Testament” as in “Old Testament” and “New Testament” is another fundamentally wrong word and concept in the vast majority of English Bibles and those derived from the English.
A Testament is effectively a will and there is a whole lot of wrong thinking about the New Testament and Jesus and wills. These collections of writings “books” are NOT wills!
A Covenant is an agreement or contract between two people, in this case between Yah and True Believers or with Yahooshua.
There are more than two Covenants in the so-called “Old Testament” – Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moshe, Dawid, Solomon, etcetera but the fundamental covenant in the books from Bereshith to Malaki, the so-called Old Testament, is the covenant that Yah made with millions of people when He spoke audibly from Mount Sinai to the Israelites and their followers who had miraculously come out of Egypt. He then wrote the terms of this covenant, the Ten Commandments or Ten Words, engraved on Stone Tablets such that they never change!
The Covenant of the so-called “New Testament” is the covenant that was consummated between Yahooshua and Yah at the instant of the death of Yahooshua when his blood fell on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant – see “2020.10.01 The miraculous planning of the death of Yahooshua – where, how and what” at https://www.etimin.org/miracle-of-yahooshua-jesus-death
Fundamentally then, dividing the Bible into Old and New is misleading and should be avoided – it is one continuous record of history relating to the relationship of the Almighty with human beings.
For the sake of congruency with common practice one could, if one really wanted to, refer to the Old Covenant and New Covenant but I prefer to refer to “The Books in the Bible from Bereshith to Malaki” and “The Books in the Bible from MattihYahoo to Revelation”.
Conclusion
All these errors operate collectively through false Bible translations to confuse and corrupt understanding of the matters of Yah and all these terms should be strictly avoided.

May Father bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His Peace
May Yah judge me severely and correct me harshly and show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it with regard to everything that I write and publish
