Some have argued as to there being an unstated covenant at the time of the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden. It is evident that the institution of marriage was enacted based on God creating from Adam a suitable helpmate; which would in future marriages would involve some sort of commitment made in the witnesses of others; which would differ for each culture somewhat.
Nonetheless; this is a covenant or vow that is universal in nature; found in all the pagan nations. Evidence of the proper order of Creation and from ancient records of past civilizations seem to indicate a belief in one God who was greater than all others; later being supplanted by the foreign gods introduced (likely originating from Babylon or the ancient near east). There is also; early on in Genesis; the rainbow which established a covenant with man as to not destroying the whole world with a flood. In some way also the boundaries of the nations were divided as according to the sons of Israel ( Deut. 32:8). It is clear that all those who are not right with God are going to be judged and therefore under the wrath of God until or if they come to faith in Christ. What is not often considered is the greater responsibility of those who God has put under His covenant; such as the nation of Israel and today's church.
There are many parallels throughout scripture between God's espousal of Israel; and the various spiritual seductions that have led to the downfall of Israel since He provided for them in the Exodus in the desert and beyond once they entered the Promised Land. This is fair warning therefore to all those who would follow God today; as well as back then. When you become a part of something; today in church; for instance our verbal commitment is not only to follow the Lord in our own lives but be responsible for fellowship with the rest of the Body of Christ who are His covenant people today. Not all of Isreal is Israel however; only a remnant.
