Bible Question:
Lissa, I am going to jump in. EdB's analysis and conclusion is NOT total heresy. I will prove you WRONG. Unless I misunderstand you. Not all the OT promises are fulfilled in Christ. For example, - Exodus 23 was fulfilled and complete when Israel was in the Promised Land. - "For all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed for ever" (Gen 13:14-15) ... was this fulfilled in Him? ... There is many more promises not fulfilled in Him. Shall I continue? Also, have other promises been fulfilled, yet (Psa 2:6-12, Zec 14:9,16)? I see Christ as King and not fulfilled, yet. Do you want more? Show me in the books of Job and Esther, where it "points to Jesus Christ and God the Father's work of salvation" ... make it the entire book. Searcher |
Bible Answer: Sure Searcher!! Esther- The book is overall about God's provision for His people even in great time of affliction and persecution (Heb 4:14-16)...Also, it points to delieverance from death, but the humble act of a simple, humble orphan girl, even if it meant her death (Phil. 1:18-20; Phil. 2:8).. Job- The LORD was with Him through His suffering and used Job's suffering as a testimony to His grace (Rom. 9:22-24)...Also, it shows us the attitude that we should have when in trials and sufferings (1 Pet. 1:4-7,)... P.S. God's grace is seen all throughout the Bible, but as I hope you know was fully shown through His sending of the Lord Jesus through which came salvtion, eternal life, and forgiveness of sins. Hallelujah! I pity you if the only way you can see Jesus in the Bible is if it is a direct prophecy to His Person...Because the Bible 'as a whole' is filled with an image of Him. hidden in Christ, Lissa |
