Summary of the Old Testaments

 **"Echoes of the Covenant"**  


O Ancient One, whose voice called light to be,  

Who shaped the dust and breathed eternity—  

From Eden’s height to Babel’s scattered cry,  

You traced Your promise through the star-strewn sky.  


You heard the groans of slaves in Pharaoh’s night,  

Split seas like cloth and led them by Your light.  

Through fire and cloud, through manna, law, and rod,  

You taught them, *"I AM—walk with Me, your God."*  


Yet golden calves and faithless hearts turned cold,  

While prophets rose with warnings stern and bold:  

*"Return!*" they pled, *"The day of wrath draws near—  

But mercy waits for those who hold Me dear."*  


Through exile’s ache, through psalms and weeping eyes,  

You whispered still of love that would not die—  

A Branch would rise, a King with scars yet grand,  

To write Your law on every heart and hand.  


So here we stand where shadows meet the dawn,  

Your covenant—unbroken—marches on.  

The old tale sings one Name the earth has heard:  

*Yahweh the Storm, Yahweh the Mercy Word.*  


**Key Themes:**  

- Creation & Fall (Genesis)  

- Covenant with Abraham, Moses, David  

- Exodus & Law (Sinai)  

- Prophets’ Calls to Repentance  

- Exile & Hope for Restoration  

- Messianic Promise  


*(Inspired by Exodus 3:14, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Isaiah 53, Jeremiah 31:31-34, and Psalm 136.)*
