Welcome to the Covenant and the Cross Podcast. This is episode #127. I am your host, Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International. This podcast is designed to help you better understand the Word of God -- both the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament is the story of the Covenant which God made with His chosen people Israel. And the New Testament is the story of the Cross which signifies the fulfillment of the Old Covenant with Israel and the formation of a New Covenant with redeemed people from many nations.

We always like to start out with the Word of God, and today's passage of Scripture is from Joshua 8:30-32 which reads: "30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in mount Ebal, As Moses the servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings. And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel."

Today's quote about the Bible is from Theodore Roosevelt who said: "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education."

Our topic for today is titled "Give Us a King Like the Rest of the Nations, Part 4" from the book, "The Promise and the Blessing" by Dr. Michael A. Harbin.
