Review for Lesson 8:
1. The *Ten Commandments Covenant* was given to Israel at Mount Sinai.

2. Israel (God`s people) continued to break God`s Ten Commandments Covenant again and again.

3. God predicted a new and different covenant to be made with Israel because they had broken His Covenant.

4. God`s prediction came true when Jesus came (according to Hebrews 8).

5. The cross fulfils the Old Covenant.
