Who are God’s covenant people? By reading the Old and New Testament, one could come to the quick conclusion that it’s the Jews, members of the tribe of Judah and upon closer inspection, all of Jacob’s sons… all 12 twelve tribes of Israel.
Then, after reading Genesis in the Old Testament, you’d have to admit that it was all of Abraham’s posterity–even more “covenant people” in the Middle East and around the world.
But, then you’ve got modern scripture–the rest of the standard works as defined by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And, when you read Jacob in the Book of Mormon and the allegory of the olive orchard, you have to open the door for everybody who makes a covenant. Covenant people? They’re the ones who’ve made covenants–and more specifically–honor them.
In this podcast, Israeli tour guide, Daniel Rona, compares two different groups who call themselves “a covenant people,” Mormons (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and Jews. Specifically, he examines holidays and traditions common to Jews, but unfamiliar to “Mormons” and draws some very interesting holidays. Most members of the Church of Jesus Christ understand that Easter and the Jewish Passover are celebrated together–for good reason. But, other Jewish holidays are not as familiar to us. As the only member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (along with his son) who is licensed as a tour guide in Israel, Daniel is uniquely qualified to talk about Jewish traditions, culture and religious practices. What’s more, he was born a Jew in the Holy Land (at the time, it was called Palestine), converted to the LDS faith, served a mission to Germany as a young man and is now a U.S. citizen. He wears lots of hats!
And, as he describes Jewish holy days, he explains why Christ was crucified on a Thursday, not on Friday, which explains the three days between the crucifixion and the resurrection.
The three segments that were originally broadcast on KLO Radio in Salt Lake City in November, 2018, have now been combined into one 40-minute podcast by Latter Day Radio. Prepared to be enlightened!
