Old Testament
-
Prophets rebuke satan through the kings he tries to influence. They describe his fall through the fall of those who walk in his sins.
-
To reject Jesus is to reject all of the Old Testament and its author. Rejecting scripture is rejecting God’s Word and rejecting Jesus is rejecting His Word made flesh.
-
Jesus fulfills the laws made to protect His lineage. Laws were artificial relationship, Jesus is real relationship.
-
The exile/ correction of God’s people in the Old Testament can be compared to the difficult times God allows His people to go through today. He let His people in the OT suffer in their turning away from Him so that He could return the faithful/ humble/ obedient to their former blessedness.
