• The highlights of Revelation lures on the climax of Isaiah. Both of the books close with the vision of a "new Jerusalem." Revelation also draws on Ezekiel 's concluding prophecy of the reconstruction of the temple (Ezekiel 40-48).
God 's revelation in the Old Testament invariably points to the fullness of the revelation in Jesus, as God 's final revelation (Hebrew 1:1-4). Truly there is a movement from one dispensation to another. In the Old Testament, each sequential phase building on what went before, and all pointing forward to the fulfilment in Christ.
Many intimate relationships exist between the Old and the New Testament, as the following Scriptures show:
1. Christ quoting from Moses’ writings, the prophets and the Psalms, in order to demonstrate that He needed to suffer and be raised from among the dead (Luke. 24:27,
45-46).

God, even above His own spoken words.

Testament believer.

(Isaiah 53:2) For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
(Isaiah 53:3) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
(Isaiah 53:4) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
(Isaiah 53:5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
(Isaiah 53:6) All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
(Isaiah 53:7) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his

    They were set apart; they had no earthly king and their history was one filled with miracles and impossible victories. Yet Israel’s people were still human; their failures were nearly equal to their victories and their frequent disobedience towards God had cost them greatly. They were hardly a unified nation, and despite a history rich in God’s provision, they were rebellious.

    Writings of historical scholars, Josephus, Aristotle, and Plato, to name a few, are taken as truth and fact, yet the writings of the Scripture are constantly disputed. Why? Perhaps because of the ethical imperatives imposed to which people do not want to adhere. Perhaps because of man’s ego and pride that disallows them to submit to a Higher Authority. Nonetheless, The Bible has been, and still remains, the most widely read and revered book of all

  • Joseph: A Foreshadowing Of Jesus's Life

    372 Words  | 1 Pages

    Due to Joseph’s exile from his family in Cannon, this resulted in his executive office in Egypt, first under Pharaoh, by God which allowed him to be the redeemer for his family, all of the Egyptians, and surrounding countries during the time of famine. Joseph was able to see the big picture of God working in his life as he states in Genesis 45:5-8. What they intended for harm, God intended for good. Similarly, through the horrific death and punishment Jesus took upon Himself, He alone choose to bear God’s just wrath and punishment that all men deserve for their sins. In doing so, He has become the Redeemer to all mankind for the forgiveness of sins and only hope for eternal life. Jesus foretold of the exact treatment He must suffer in Matthew 21:42, which referenced Psalm 118:22. Again in Isaiah 53:3, it was prophesized of Jesus’ rejection by men.

  • Reading the Old Testament

    1182 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Old Testament and the Bible itself has been studied extensively for centuries. Archeologists and Scholars have labored and pondered over texts trying to decipher its clues. It does not matter how many times the Old Testament has been studied there will always be something new to learn about it or the history surrounding it. In the book Reading the Old Testament: an Introduction, the author Lawrence Boadt presents us with a few different authors of the Old Testament that used different names for God and had a unique insight into the texts. These four sources are titled P for priests, E for Elohim, J for Jehovah, and Y for Yahweh (95). These four unique sources help us realize that there is more than one author of the Pentateuch. These authors took the text and adapted for their culture. This independent source is used by scholars to help gain insight into what was behind the texts of the bible so we are not left with an incomplete picture of what went into the creation of the bible. Julius Wellhausen used these four sources to publish a book to able us to better understand the sources and to give it credibility with the Protestant scholars at the time (Boadt 94). These sources that is independent of the bible as in the DVD Who Wrote the Bible? and the Nova website aide in shedding light on the history that surrounded the writers who wrote the text and what inspired them to write it in the first place. The DVD shows the discovery of The Dead Sea Scrolls and the extensive history of the texts and all its sources in an effort to try to find exactly who wrote the bible (Who Wrote). These scrolls have aided scholars immensely by giving us some of the oldest known manuscripts of the bible in the world today. It shows that the bible w...

  • The Bible: The Story Of Redemption In The Bible

    1676 Words  | 4 Pages

    Spanning fifteen hundred years with over 30,700 manuscripts, extensive archaeological evidence and 2000 prophecies that have been fulfilled, the Bible is God 's word to us. (Yohn, 2013). In the Bible, the Father is essentially giving us a picture of the history of the world and is also leading us to a place where we must make a decision that involves whether we choose to accept his son or reject him and remain guilty. Additionally, the Word of God tells us what happened that caused this breach between us and God, the result of this and how God has rectified it through the blood of his son. In fact, from the beginning of the Bible (written 1400 B.C.) to the last book (A.D. 96), God is showing us why we need Jesus and how to find him. Just as a plant’s root system propagates and occupies the pot that encloses it, Jesus permeates the entire Bible. Therefore, the motif of the Bible is the story of the redemption of mankind and it all points to Jesus as the messiah and savior who secures this for all.

  • The Old Testament: Foreshadowing the New Testament

    1955 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the days of Christ’s life on this earth, believers did not have access to the Bible in its entirety as we know and are familiar with today. Believers in this ancient time period only had access to the Old Testament. However, through their access to the Old Testament, believers were provided a foundation for New Testament times. This foundation provided New Testament believers with the Lord’s established principles of right and wrong they were expected to follow. In addition, the Old Testament is overflowing with accounts of people whose lives exemplified the future life of Christ on this earth. These pictures allowed the Israelite nation to begin to have an understanding of why Christ needed to come as their Messiah and the work He needed to do on earth. Finally, there are common themes that are interwoven throughout the entire Old Testament. Three of these themes: transgression, redemption, and consummation point to the purpose of Christ’s atoning death on the cross. These themes portray God’s work both in the lives of Old Testament believers, but they also foreshadow God’s desire and plan for believers in New Testament times and beyond.

  • Biblical Exegesis of Psalm 89

    1476 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Hebrew Bible, better known as the Old Testament, is a collection of tomes that form part of the Biblical canon. Many scholars around the world do not think that a single author wrote the books contained in the Hebrew Bible, but rather that it represents centuries of stories frequently compiled after the events they describe . The stories were created with visions for the future, in order to allow audiences insight into communities and beliefs that were common thought during their era. The stories responded to the issues and problems of their time, but also addressed contemporary climates. While the stories themselves may not be true, they convey truth without needing literal readings. For example, the creation stories in Genesis, portray God as creating the universe, and while this is considered as not ‘literally true’; the stories communicate theological truths about mankind’s relationship with God through the eyes of Hebrew writers .

  • The Calling Of Isaiah

    Isaiah chapter 6 versus 1-13 stand apart from the rest of the Bible as a unique record of how God called on and reached out to a man, and in doing so a prophet was born. Interpreting this chapter is of vital importance for the understanding of Isaiah's teaching as a whole. In it he describes a real experience which effects him both psychologically and spiritually. Through the passage it can be perceived that his ministry was initiated by a soul shaking experience of the reality of God, and it's authenticity validated by it's results and influence on the prophet's life and work (Berrtrick, p 205).

  • Exodus And Deuteronomy

    1559 Words  | 4 Pages

    God deeply desires to see the marginalized cared for. This claim is supported throughout the entirety of the Bible in God’s commandments to see this desire fulfilled. One example of this theme can be seen in Deuteronomy 26:1-15, which addresses the Israelite’s first fruits and tithes after they have entered the promised land—two laws described in Deuteronomy 14:22-29. These first fruits and tithes provide for the Levites, the aliens, the orphans, and the widows—the lowly of the society that cannot provide for themselves. In addition to providing for the lower class, those presenting the offering were to recognize the deliverance the Lord had completed in bringing them out of slavery in Egypt. This is consistent with many other chapters in Deuteronomy, especially chapter eight, which urges the Israelites not to forget the Lord’s miraculous works after entering the prosperity-filled land of Canaan. Another theme in Deuteronomy is that society members should be at peace with one another. One way this can be accomplished, Deuteronomy teaches us, is by caring for the weak and marginalized. Each member of the society is commanded to care for members in need.
