I am picking up that some believe that the covenant with Abraham is bifurcated from the covenant with Moses.

However, the following texts seem to indicate otherwise...

Exodus 2:24
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

Deuteronomy 4:31
For the LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.

Deuteronomy 7:12
"And because you listen to these rules and keep and do them, the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the steadfast love that he swore to your fathers.

Deuteronomy 8:18
You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 29:25
Then people will say, 'It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,


Deuteronomy 31:20
For when I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and grown fat, they will turn to other gods and serve them, and despise me and break my covenant.

Doesn't covenant theology assert that all the covenants flow into and from each other in succession under the auspices of the one Covenant of Grace?

Therefore, it seems to me that the promise was given to believers and their seed under the Abrahamic administration as well as the Mosaic, and of course in the New. The difference is, while the nature of the promise hasn't changed (to believers and their seed), the new covenant a) fulfills the promise made to Abraham by means of the Great Commission, and b) removes the Gentiles and Jews from having to live under the Mosaic system as a way of life (temples, priests, sacrifices, etc. That is not to say the Decalogue has no place in our lives).

I'm a bit new to this--so comments are welcome if I need to be corrected.
Think Spring Midwesterners!
