Making Nonsense of the New Testament
“When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you,you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.” (Matthew 10:23)
“One of the most important lessons any Christian reader of the Old Testament must learn in order to truly understand its message is its connection to the New Testament. Jesus himself said that the whole Old Testament looked forward to his coming suffering and glorification (Luke 24:25-27, 44-48), but it is surprising how many ignore this crucial principle of interpretation.”
