Brit is covenant. God actually named a nation covenant.  It is a profound message as the purpose of a person, place or thing is determined by the name of a thing.  The covenant is with God and gives authority. It is also with the people, all the people, to be utilized for their benefit and protection.  If the covenant changes, the obligation changes and also the requirements to maintain authority. The magna carta is a covenant.  Taxation without representation that led to the American revolution was a breach of a covenant and hence a loss of territory. Taxation without protection is also a breach of covenant and may lead to tumult, a loss of authority and  territory as a breach of the covenant that has certain requisites.  In world history, the obvious example of this covenant and relational nexus is the American Revolution. There are other examples such as the the break down of the league of nations prior to WW 2 in that unfulfilled covenants became grounds for social conflict. Nazi Germany and other fascist movements are evidence of the breach in principles and covenants that were an appendix to the existing covenants that governed all nations including Britain. This discussion will continue. The purpose of this television ministry is to encourage salt and light. Go and have a picnic this weekend. Don't forget to turn off your lights when parked on the side of the road near the lido.
