God started a Theocracy (Rom.1:19-21). A theocracy is form of government, where God is king and man can rule himself thought the Laws of God. Man is subject to God, but does have some autonomy. So God created Adam and Eve and gave them a Covenant (Gen.1:26-28). When it was broken, God made a new covenant with Adam, out of the original covenant by adding a Savior for man (Gen.3). Then when man broke the covenant again, God made a new covenant with Noah (Gen.6). This covenant was the same as the one with Adam, but He wrote the Laws down and established a government to enforce the laws. When the Noahic covenant was broken, God decided to choose a people to represent Him on this earth. Abraham entered into a covenant with God. God took the covenants of Adam, the promise of a Savior, the covenant of Noah, the rule of government and added a land to live in, the Promised Land (Gen.15). God chose the center of the earth, Israel, the land flowing with milk and honey, to be their home.
