Standing Up
On and on
I am wondering that too.
The OT was not perfect, not the true religion. Remember the veil Moses wore and why? It faded. Nor is the New Testament a continuation of the Old; instead, it is wholly different.
Hbr. 7:11 If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?
v12 for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,
Levi --- Judah
Mosaic law --- live by faith (love God, love your neighbor)
Hbr. 8:7 for if that first were faultless, a place would not have been sought for a second.
v8 For finding fault [in the first], He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, a new covenant,
v13 in the saying `new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old [is] nigh disappearing.
The promise (by faith), the OT (transgression), then the NT.
Gal. 3:17 and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,
v19 Why the Law then? It was added *because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the *agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.
So, the OT faded. The NT, the promise, was prophesied and made in Christ. New, He was taken outside the city. New priesthood. New law.
