NEW COVENANT OF ADONAI: B'RIT CHADASHAH
The
New Testament is called the B'rit Chadashah in Hebrew, meaning "New
Covenant" (the word B'rit means "covenant" and Chadashah
means "new"). Like the Tanakh, it can be divided into three main
parts:
B'rit Chadashah: Three Main Divisions
Besorat HaGe'ulah Gospels
The four portraits of the Messiah of Israel as given by His messengers (Luke/Acts may be considered as a unit). Besorah means "good news" and Ge'ulah means "redemption."
Iggerot Letters
Eight "general" letters to Messianic Jewish communities and thirteen letters from Paul, the Jewish emissary to the Gentiles (non-Jews). The word Iggeret (pl. Iggerot) means "letter."
Hitgallut Revelation
The revelation of Yeshua the Messiah as given to His emissary Yochanan (John). The word Hitgallut means "revelation" or "unveiling" (sometimes the word Chazon ("vision") is used instead).
