5 major covenants God made with man:

The covenant with Noah - a rainbow.

The Abrahamic covenant dealt unconditionally with the Land, the seed and the blessing

Abraham's seed - like the sand on the sea shore or the stars in the sky - impossible for man to count God ratified the covenant with Abraham by cutting a 3 year old heifer, 3 year old female goat, and 3 year old ram, in half. A turtle dove and pigeon were sacrificed, but not cut. After dark, God walked between the pieces appearing as a smoking oven and flaming torch. The footprints - human (Son of Man) in the colors of a lion’s paw (the Lion of Judah).

The Mosaic covenant - tablets of stone, plus the cloud by day and fire by night - how God manifested His presence during the Exodus.

The Davidic covenant promised a descendant (Jesus) on David’s throne for eternity. Jesus on the cross forms the back of a throne (at the top of the painting).

The New Covenant – ratified symbolically by a dove (Spirit of God), plus the wine and bread of communion for the torn body and shed blood of Jesus for our sins.
