Excellent chart and explanation! I am printing this chart for my mother. She is so confused by what I believe. As she is older and has been involved in a Southern Baptist Church for a lifetime, it is difficult for her to "see" it. To me, it is so obvious and makes the Bible "come alive" if you will.
I especially love the first line "It's not the OT and NT; it's Prophecy and Mystery".
Thank you!
So glad that you found something you can use....we will be praying for your Mom. It is so difficult to break old habits...and religion has a hold on many today.
Yes, those little pieces of paper that separate Old Testament from New Testament weren't put there by divine inspiration, and have caused much misunderstanding in how God was dealing with Israel and when the program changed. The real division is Prophecy vs Mystery...
Gen. thru Acts = God dealing with the NATION of Israel/
TIMES PAST/Prophecy/Peter and the 12
Romans thru Philemon= God dealing with a BODY (a new CREATION) /
BUT NOW/Mystery/Paul OUR apostle
Hebrews thru Revelation= God resuming His program with Israel right where they left off/
AGES TO COME/ Prophetic Clock resumes ticking/12 apostles and the law of Moses once again.
The majority of OUR bible was written TO and ABOUT the NATION OF ISRAEL AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US AT ALL! We can certainly learn from it, but THEIR truth is NOT for OUR obedience in this age of GRACE.
"Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to ALL who BELIEVE!" Something CHANGED!
Aren't you glad we aren't under the law today??? OY VEY!!!
