AMAZING PARALLELS BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
​

In the Old Testament Israel (Jacob) is called God’s firstborn (Exodus 4:22). In the New Testament Jesus is called God’s firstborn (John 3:18).



In the Old Testament Israel (Jacob) is called the Son of God (Exodus 4:22 & Hosea 11:1). In the New Testament Jesus is called the Son of God (John 3:16).



In the Old Testament Israel (Jacob) is called the “vine” (Psalms 80:8). In the New Testament Jesus is called the “true vine” (John 15:1).



In the first chapter of the Old Testament there is a Joseph that has dreams. In the first chapter of the New Testament there is a Joseph that has dreams.



In the first chapter of the Old Testament Joseph is taken into Egypt. In the first chapter of the New Testament Joseph is taken into Egypt.



In the Old Testament Israel is taken out of Egypt. In the New Testament Jesus is taken out of Egypt.



In the Old Testament law was handed down a mountain to the 12 tribes. In the New Testament Jesus enhances the same law on a mountain to the 12 apostles.



In the Old Testament the children of Israel were baptized in the Red Sea (1 Cor. 10:1-2). In the New Testament Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River (Matthew 3:13).



In the Old Testament Israel (Jacob) is called “The seed of Abraham” (Isaiah 41:8). In the New Testament Jesus is called “The seed of Abraham” (Galatians 3:16).



In the Old Testament the children of Israel (Jacob) were in the wilderness for 40 years. In the New Testament Jesus was in the wilderness 40 days. This is significant because in the Old Testament it says the children of Israel were in the wilderness 40 DAYS (each day for a year).



Some relevant verses:



**Numbers 14:34 After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.



**Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.



Galatians 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed (Jesus) should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. (Mosaic law...not the Ten Commandments).



Luke 24:27-And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he (Jesus) expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Christ did what the chosen, as fallible humans, could not do. Praise be to our Savior!!!!

It's sundown now, gotta go spend time with my wonderful Creator!!
