I think that statements in the OT are often cinnusofg to many because many churches neglect the Old Testament as truly Christian Scripture. We don't understand how the gospel is understood as the fulfillment of the promises of God. So, the gospel can be understood often generally as the promises of God. God promised Abraham a land and many descendents. Romans said that though what he saw was his own body as good as dead, he believed God. The same is true for us. We hear God's promises. We look around and all the empirical evidence seem to contradict God's promise. But, we believe God's promises despite what we see.Here are some interesting passages about the gospel in the OT that I've been pondering. They come from Hebrews. The amazing thing about Hebrews is how much it places Christ within the covenantal context of the Old Testament. Heb. 3:5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later Heb. 3:16-4:2 For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who were disobedient? So we see that they were unable to enter because of unbelief. Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. FOR GOOD NEWS CAME TO US JUST AS TO THEM, BUT THE MESSAGE THEY HEARD DID NOT BENEFIT THEM, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT UNITED BY FAITH WITH THOSE WHO LISTENED. Heb. 4:6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and THOSE WHO FORMERLY RECEIVED THE GOOD NEWS FAILED TO ENTER BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE This next passage illustrates that the good news of rest offered to the Israelites were only types of a greater rest to come, that would have to be received by faith.Heb. 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.This passage is good commentary of AbrahamHeb. 6:13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, Surely I will bless you and multiply you.' AND THUS ABRAHAM, HAVING PATIENTLY WAITED, OBTAINED THE PROMISE. FOR PEOPLE SWEAR BY SOMETHING GREATER THAN THEMSELVES, AND IN ALL THEIR DISPUTES AN OATH IS FINAL FOR CONFIRMATION. SO WHEN GOD DESIRED TO SHOW MORE CONVINCINGLY TO THE HEIRS OF THE PROMISE THE UNCHANGEABLE CHARACTER OF HIS PURPOSE, HE GUARANTEED IT WITH AN OATH, SO THAT BY TWO UNCHANGEABLE THINGS, IN WHICH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE, WE WHO HAVE FLED FOR REFUGE MIGHT HAVE STRONG ENCOURAGEMENT TO HOLD FAST TO THE HOPE SET BEFORE US. WE HAVE THIS AS A SURE AND STEADFAST ANCHOR OF THE SOUL, A HOPE THAT ENTERS INTO THE INNER PLACE BEHIND THE CURTAIN, WHERE JESUS HAS GONE AS A FORERUNNER ON OUR BEHALF Here are a couple interesting ones that show continuity.Heb. 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. BY THIS HE CONDEMNED THE WORLD AND BECAME AN HEIR OF THE RIGHTOUSNESS THAT COMES BY FAITH. Speaking of Sarah and Abraham, Isaac, and JacobHeb. 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. IF THEY HAD BEEN THINKING OF THAT LAND FROM WHICH THEY HAD GONE OUT, THEY WOULD HAVE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN. BUT AS IT IS, THEY DESIRE A BETTER COUNTRY, THAT IS, A HEAVENLY ONE. THEREFORE GOD IS NOT ASHAMED TO BE CALLED THEIR GOD, FOR HE HAS PREPARED FOR THEM A CITY. Check this NT interpretation of OT:Heb. 11:23-26 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. HE CONSIDERED THE REPROACH OF CHRIST GREATER WEALTH THAN THE TREASURES OF EGYPT, FOR HE WAS LOOKING TO THE REWARD. Just some interesting quotes I found.
