from First Things:

"In a recent Theopolis lecture, James Jordan pointed to the symmetry between the beginning and end of the Mosaic era. As soon as the tabernacle is set up, Aaron's two sons, Nadab and Abihu, offer foreign fire before the Lord and are killed. At the end of the Mosaic era, two priestly sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, are killed in the battle of Aphek.

"The Mosaic era begins with the death of two priestly sons, and ends with the death of two priestly sons...."

"Does the new covenant begin with a double or multiple death? It would seem so, as both John and Jesus die. Does the new covenant end with a double or multiple death of sons?...

Agree, or disagree?

My first thought is I agree, but I will have to think a little more on it.  Hoping to see what others will say to help.

Agree, or disagree?

When does the new covenant began?

does it begin with the death of Jonh?

Is Jonh the lamb, that God had Promish

to Abraham?

Are we redeemed by the blood of Jonh?

Did Jonh needed redemption himself?

Does the new covenant ends?

Does that mean Christ will disobeyed 

GOD and fall like the first Adam?

Actually, the deaths of Nadab and Abihu correspond to the deaths of Ananias and Saphira: both twosomes brought a forbidden offering before the Lord, and he killed them.

Also, John the Baptist died before the New Covenant was established at the Last Supper.

It wasn't that the offering of Ananias and Saphira was forbidden per se, but that it was presented with deception, otherwise I think your analogy works.

Perhaps a better word would have been defiled, because both offerings were tainted with sin.
