The whole New Testament is contained in the Old. They just didn’t have the narrative.

Habakkuk 2 3
" For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

The whole New Testament is contained in the Old

There is a wondrous unity to Scripture! Justification by faith - according to Hebrews 11 - is deeply rooted in the Old Testament.

The Habakkuk quote is particularly pithy...

It's to do with Israel; I don't see the church in the Old Testament. :)

I’m still waiting for that to be revealed to me.

Israel - earthly; church - heavenly.

Israel: existed before Pentecost; church: started at Pentecost.

The more I read the less absolute I become.

You mean, you're less sure about Pentecost? or what...

Israel - earthly; church - heavenly.

Israel: existed before Pentecost; church: started at Pentecost.

That’s absolutely true.

 

[farouk]

That’s absolutely true.

It's part of the first principles of a dispensational understanding of Scripture.

Not sure the role of Israel in eternity

FYI:

The Wife of Jehovah and the Bride of Messiah

 

[farouk]

@Waiting on him PS: I think your question about Israel and the church does revolve to some extent about the Bride of Christ /Wife of Jehovah definitions.

 

[farouk]

It's remarkable how unfamiliar passages in the Minor Prophets can suddenly show a highly familiar quote! :)

Brother I value everything you post, because you don’t seem to Lord it as many do if that makes since? I read the article, Israel as the wife I understood this previously. Where I get Jambed up is he’s promised us children, the New Testament language is spiritualy rich with it. He wouldn’t have children out of wedlock. I believe it’s already been consummated and is being consummated continually now.
