1 | How was salvation seen in OT? | Heb 11:1 | Diomede | 222571 | ||
Can someone please tell me how the Old Testament writers understood salvation? I know they were ultimately saved by Christ which the sacrifical system pointed to, but, what did they think they got saved from? It seems to me that David in Psalms was wanting salvation from his physical enemies. Through Judges, the same thing, Israel needed saving from the nations that oppressed them. Can anyone find verses that show they saw salvation as eternal life, cause it seems to me that for them salvation was connected to the present difficulty? | ||||||
2 | How was salvation seen in OT? | Heb 11:1 | BradK | 222572 | ||
Hello Diomede, Certainly salvation for Israel was connected to deliverance from circumstances- like David describes- or from enemies like Pharoah and the Egyptians- "But Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the LORD which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever." (NASB Ex. 14:13ff) Yet, the OT saints were saved just as you and I are: by grace through faith! Note the plenty of examples in Hebrews 11- all, "by faith". The whole point was to show the 1st century Jew that his salvation rested upon faith alone! Heb. 11:13 tells us, "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) As the Lord observes in John 8:56, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." How did he see it? By faith! I hope this helps, BradK |
