In reading chapter 31 I am thinking about the OLD Testament and the NEW Testament... testament being covenant. (v 32-33)
Here's a quote from Elder Oaks, "The ‘new covenant,’ ... was the covenant contained in the Book of Mormon and in the ‘former commandments’ [see D&C 84:57 ]. ... These former commandments must have been the Lord’s prior revelations, as contained in the Bible (the Old and New Testaments) and in those modern revelations already given to the Saints.... “The covenant described in [the] scriptures, made new by its renewal and confirmation in these latter days, refers to our covenant relationship with Jesus Christ. It incorporates the fullness of the gospel.... “... The ‘new covenant’ contained in the Book of Mormon and the former commandments is that central promise of the gospel, rooted in the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which gives us the assurance of immortality and the opportunity for eternal life if we will repent of our sins and make and keep the gospel covenant with our Savior. By this means, and through his grace, we can realize the great promise ‘that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel’ ( Articles of Faith 1:3 )” (DallinH. Oaks, “Another Testament of Jesus Christ” [CES fireside address, 6June 1993], 4–5).
From the Bible Dictionary (lookup Bible):
"With regard to the word testament, the Greek word diatheke, of which testament is a translation, meant in classical Greek an arrangement, and therefore sometimes a will or testament, as in an arrangement for disposal of a person’s property after his death. In the O.T. the word testament represents a Hebrew word meaning covenant. The Old Covenant is the law that was given to Moses. The New Covenant is the gospel of Jesus Christ. The title Old Testament is a misnomer since all the prophets, beginning with Adam, had the fullness of the gospel of Christ, with its ordinances and blessings. However, a lesser law was given to Moses for the children of Israel (see Law of Moses). When the Savior came in the meridian of time, he restored the gospel to the Jews in Palestine. Since they had strayed, even from the law of Moses, it was a new covenant to them. Thus we have the record called the Old and the New Testaments."
