Wrong ! you want to study the OT.
Judg 13
[
18] And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is
secret?
not to mention the NT and understand who Jesus Christ truly is.
2 Cor 3
[
14] But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the
old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
If the OT Saints knew God then they must of known who Jesus Christ
No.
Knowing is one thing
Understanding is Another thing
Can you read the OT and "KNOW";
The Word of God came to them?
(From God?)
The Angel of the Lord came to them?
(From God?)
Do you NOW "KNOW"...
The NAME of the Word of God?
(Came From God?)
The NAME of the Angel of the Lord?
(Came From God?)
And do you NOW "UNDERSTAND"
WHO the Word of God IS?
WHO the Angel of the Lord IS?
Knowledge was given them. (OT)
Much Understanding was NOT GIVEN THEM.
It is the SAME CONCEPT of HOW PARENTS BEGIN TEACHING "their babes"...
"UNDERSTANDING"...is when the "babe" comprehends...and then called "mature".
Knowledge FIRST
...^ babe
Understanding of the KNOWLEDGE LATER
...^ mature
You are trying to teach...
OT men LACKED Knowledge of God, because they had not YET been given Understanding.
OT taught KNOWLEDGE...
OT did NOT teach UNDERSTANDING...
NT teaches KNOWLEDGE...
NT does NOT teach UNDERSTANDING...
Glory to God,
