One of the many mistakes people make concerning God's covenants is thinking that a covenant is a promise that can be fulfilled and then set aside.
Fulfilling a covenant *never* ends it. Fulfilling a covenant restores and maintains it.
A covenant is a permanent relationship, not a promise, yet all covenant relationships come with promises. Even if Israel breaks every promise that they made in their covenants with God, those covenants still stand. The only way that God's covenants with Israel to end will be for every male descendant of Jacob to die, and God promised that won't happen until heaven and earth themselves are destroyed.
God's covenants do not end no matter who breaks them. Jesus fulfilled those covenants to show us how to go on fulfilling them.

The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, that one may turn away from the snares of death.
Proverbs 13:14 ESV
The word here for teaching or law is torah, and there is none wiser than God himself. If you live according to the Torah of YHWH, you will have life. The essence of Torah is love for both God and mankind, so if you guard and live Torah, you will also produce life for other people.
A question was asked and deserves a complete answer. “Doesn’t God use violence?” The short answer is yes, in His righteous judgement he sometimes uses violence. However He does send warnings to the people first, Jonah was sent to Nineveh and we read in Joshua 2:10, “For we have heard how the LORD dried up the waters of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites across the Jordan, whom you devoted to destruction.” Only Rahab and her family were untouched by the destruction not only because of her kindness, she had changed her heart. Some of the warnings that were sent to other nations we are told about and others we are not.

*The G-d of Yisra’ĕl is YeHoVaH, He is the Father.
Who is the son?
Deuteronomy 14 You are the Sons of YeHoVaH your G-d; you shall not cut yourselves nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead. v2 For you are a Holy [Set-Apart] People [Treasured Nation] to YeHoVaH your G-d, and YeHoVaH has CHOSEN you TO BE a people for His OWN POSSESSION [Am Segulah], above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. [Reminds you of Gen 1v2,3.]
What does it mean to be Sons of YeHoVaH your G-d? To be a Son means to be Chosen.
Deuteronomy 14:1-2 Sons of G-d.
1 Chronicles 28:6 Son of G-d.
v5 "And of all my sons -- for YHVH has given me many sons -- He has chosen my son Shelomoh to sit on the throne of the reign of YHVH over Yisrael, v6 and said to me, 'Shelomoh your son is the one to build My house and My courtyards, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I myself am a Father to him.
The future Mashiach is the Chosen Son [Yeshua].
Being Chosen and being the [begotten] Son of G-d, the two are essentially the same concept.
To Be Holy is To Be Chosen. Holy means To Be Set-apart and above. In that sense it’s connected To Be Chosen.
Yisrael as a Nation is the Son of G-d [the Father is YeHoVaH].
And you have an individual within Yisrael who is the Son of G-d. It means he’s the King and the Mashiach who will be the King of Yisrael and the Son of G-d.
Psalms 105:15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My Prophets no evil.”
Hoshea 11:1 “When Yisrael was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.

Thought for Today: Tuesday September 16
One day a great man, lying on his death bed, summoned his grandson to come stand next to him. Calling the boy’s name, he said: “I don’t know what type of work I will be doing in heaven, but if it is allowed, I am going to ask Yeshua to let me help build your mansion. You be sure you send up plenty of the right materials.” Living a life of purity and love, studying YHVH’s Word, praying without cease, leading others to the Moshiach as we share our faith, kindness in the Moshiach’s Name – all of these things are materials that may be sent on ahead… What kind of materials are you sending up to heaven today?

1 Peter 5:3 TLV
[3] Don’t lord it over those apportioned to you, but become examples to the flock.
Matthew 20:25-28 TLV
[25] But Yeshua called them over and said, “You know that the rulers of the nations lord it over them, and their great ones play the tyrant over them. [26] It shall not be this way among you. But whoever wants to be great among you shall be your servant, [27] and whoever wants to be first among you shall be your slave— [28] just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
