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?
