Me: That was some shindig at your place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book The Revolution That Changed the World by Dr. David Jeremiah<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Christians virtually ignore the Old Testament, thinking the New Testament renders it irrelevant. This is a mistake. We lean the human story-who we are and why we need redemption–by reading the Old Testament. The Old Testament reveals the origin of humankind, the nature of sin, the result of disobedience, the character of God, and his unfolding purpose. Perhaps the most obvious benefit is that the Old Testament reveals Christ through hundreds of specific prophecies about his life and death. As the adage says, “The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed; the New Testament is the Old Testament revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 2:1-2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
