Series - NT for OT

The advent of Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection, the birth of the Church: these were undoubtedly further revelations. But the coming of Christ was predicted in the OT, and not by means of shadowy quatrains and esoteric understandings.

Universal access to the whole NT was not realistically possible for a very long time after the books which comprise the NT were gathered together in one volume. How many early believers could study these works, let alone own them?

Among those who like to criticize Dispensational Premillennialism one encounters a popular mantra: The OT needs to be interpreted by the NT. Since the NT introduces Jesus Christ, and the Apostolic writings unpack the doctrine of Christ, one must go back to the OT with the NT teaching in hand to unlock God’s meaning.
