Old Testament Survey

The most basic division of the Bible is that of “testaments,” “covenants,” or “compacts” between God and His people. Both of the testaments are centered in Christ. The Old Testament views Christ by way of anticipation; the New Testament views Him by way of realization. The Old Testament is incomplete without the New Testament. The salvation prepared for in the Old Testament was provided by Christ in the New Testament. What is commenced in the Old Testament is completed in the Christ of the New Testament. Christ was enfolded in the truth of the Old Testament but is unfolded in the truth of the New Testament.
