I wanted to gather some thoughts on the Covenants of God and the prophets.
I've heard it said that Prophets were declaring judgment on God's people for breaking the covenant they made with God. My question is, what covenant? Would this be the covenant made with Adam, the Sinai Covenant, or both?
I know some people argue that the Sinai Covenant is a republication of the Covenant of Works (fulfilled by Christ) while some argue that it is simply a Covenant of Grace from start to finish.
But when I hear the rebukes of God's people in scripture, it doesn't seem to point to the general idea that man is falling away from God's commands, but that they are specifically breaking the law laid out in the 10 commandments, and worshipping other God's, which leads me to think of the Mosaic Covenant as more of a republication of the Covenant of Works.
I admit this is one area I'm not an extreme scholar in, and an area that I need to be! So I'm just looking for some insight on the rebukes and the judgment laid down by the major and minor prophets, and how they relate to the covenant of works.
