Bible Question:
I would like to know where I can find the place that the people in the OT went before Christ death and resurrection? Thank you, Sandy |
Bible Answer: Greetings dssjv2002 and welcome to the forum. The answer to your question is found in the book of Luke 16:19-37 Those that trusted God and his Messiah to come went to paradise, or what the Jews called Abrahams bosom. Those that didn’t have faith in the Messiah of God went into a place of torment. Since the Messiah hadn’t come yet, the Old Testament, the sins of those believers was only covered and not removed, as are those since Jesus paid the price in full. I.e. John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. John the Baptist knew that Messiah would completely remove sin, which was something that the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament couldn’t do. John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. When a true believer in Jesus dies now the following is true. 2 Cor. 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. The word “present” actually means to be face to face with or at home with the lord; Jesus make it all possible. 2 Cor. 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Praise the Lord and have a nice day, CDBJ |
