Referenced to Hebrews 8:8
The relation of Christ to the eight covenants is as follows: (1) To the
Edenic Covenant, Christ, as the "second man" and the "last Adam" (1 Cor 15:45 -
47), takes the place over all things which the first Adam lost (Col 2:10; Heb
2:7 - 9). (2) He is the Seed of the woman of the Adamic Covenant (Gen 3:15; John
12:31; Gal 4:4; 1 John 3:8; Rev 20:10), and fulfilled its conditions of toil
(Mark 6:3) and obedience (Phil 2:8; Heb 5:8). (3) As the greatest Son of Shem,
in Him was fulfilled supremely the promise to Shem in the Noahic Covenant (Gen
9:16, note; Col 2:9). (4) He is the Seed to whom the promises were made in the
Abrahamic Covenant, the Son of Abraham obedient unto death (Gen 22:18; Gal 3:16;
Phil 2:8). (5) He lived sinlessly under the Mosaic Covenant and bore for us its
curse (Gal 3:10 - 13). (6) He lived obediently as a Jew in the land under the
Palestinian Covenant, and will yet perform its gracious promises (Deu 28:1 -
30:9). (7) He is the Seed, Heir, and King under the Davidic Covenant (Mat 1:1;
Luke 1:31 -33). And (8) His sacrifice is the foundation of the New Covenant (Mat
26:28; 1 Cor 11:25).
