The Covenants in Plain English

Edenic Covenant - Don't eat the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden and you'll enjoy its wonderful attributes forever. Adam and Eve broke this covenant.

Adamic Covenant - Since you ate the fruit, Adam, you will have to work for your sustenance  and Eve, you will have to suffer pain in childbirth.

Noahic Covenant - The rainbow. God will never again destroy the earth with floods ("global warming" or not).

Abrahamic Covenant - You will have more descendants than there are stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach.

Mosaic Covenant - Keep the Law perfectly and you will remain in God's will and His presence. Israel led the way in breaking this covenant.

Palestinian (Land) Covenant - As my chosen people, you WILL have a land of your own (notwithstanding the events in the Middle East today).

Davidic Covenant - From your descendants will come the Person of my New Covenant, the savior of the world, the Messiah (Christ).

THEN CAME GOD'S NEW COVENANT - The blood of Christ shed for the remission of sin. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
