The Covenant of Liberation 61<br />

their program of world conquest testifies to how little time they<br />

have left, and how dependent they are on the categories of the<br />

Bible. Satan is a thief, a liar, and an imitator. Christians work<br />

with the truth. The future belongs to them, not to Marxism.<br />

In summary:<br />

1. Biblical religion is covenantal religion.<br />

2. A Biblical covenant involves a self-valedictory oath.<br />

3. Only three institutions have a God-granted right to impose<br />

such oaths: family government, church government, and civil government.<br />

4. The Biblical covenant has five points.<br />

5. Transcendence/immanence says that God is above His creation,<br />

yet present with it.<br />

6. Hierarchy/authority says that all human institutions are hierarchical,<br />

and we are supposed to place them under God and<br />

under His laws.<br />

7. Lawldominion says that we exercise dominion by obeying<br />

God’s ethical requirements.<br />

8. Judgment/oath says that God is a final judge and continuing<br />

judge.<br />

9. Inheritance/continuity says that God will pass the lawful inheritance<br />

to the covenantally faithful heirs: heirs of Christ, not<br />

Adam.<br />

10. Satan’s covenant imitates God’s.<br />

11. Satan is neither transcendent (omnipotent) nor immanent<br />

(omnipresent).<br />

12. This means that he must compensate for this lack by concentrating<br />

power in his hierarchy.<br />

13. He affirms magic or power, not ethics, as tools of dominion.<br />

14. Communists and tyrants imitate God, the final judge, by<br />

adopting torture and terror as social policies.<br />

15. God cuts short Satan’s earthly kingdoms, transferring their<br />

inheritance to His people.<br />

16. Dominion is by covenant.<br />

17. Power is also by covenant.<br />

18. The question is: Whose covenant?
