Thought provoking. The Old Testament is mostly about the Jews who kept sinning and facing the consequences of sin. It was written over a long period of time and covered history from the beginning of time. It is told by those who observed it and told of it. God always planned to reveal Jesus to show His true nature but why it took Him so long is a mystery. The Jews were his chosen people but did not get it right up to the cross. So a Jew came to show us who God really is. How ironic is that? Yet Jews still don’t believe Jesus is God.
