Covenant.

The first version of the covenant between God and Moses would appear to be in Exodus 34 where the three festivals - the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of the Passover - are consecrated with the nation of Israel.

[Along with these not making idols, redeeming the first-born (animals and sons), and not boiling a kid in its mother's milk are recommended.]

So perhaps the legalistic language of the Ten Commandments was not Moses' but the mentality of the priests who wrote them 600 years later.

That being said the important part of the story is the covenant between God and the liberated Israelites.

The first covenant was the rainbow between God and Noah after the flood.

The second covenant was between God and Abraham and his descendants.

The third covenant was between God and Moses.

The fourth covenant would appear to be with King David.

The fifth covenant is through Jesus of Nazareth.

A sixth covenant could be said to be with Mohammed.

So God regularly renews His covenant not only with Israel but with all humankind.

Is it possible that there will be a new covenant between God and humanity through Aquarius?

They say that the darkest hour is just before the dawn.
It is certainly dark enough now.

The fertile ground is there with many Aquarian people on earth at this time.

God is certainly doing something new.
Nurturing our understanding and hinting at the direction.

After liberating theological thought from negative doctrines the rest is all about Love.

Love God and love your neighbor.
