A reminder about OT interpretation
Seminarian John Mark shares what he's learned about right interpretation of OT passages. To know the meaning of OT promises for today, we need to understand both what they meant when they were made and how today's situation compares. And here's a difference that's critical to remember:
Old Testament Jews were brought up to understand that if they obeyed God, they would be protected. For us today, obedience doesn't bring protection, it brings persecution.Amen.

I had an elder once tell me that "the closer you get to Jesus, the less the devil can do to you." I asked him... "How'd that work out for the apostles?" He didn't appreciate the question.
Good point, Phil. Thanks for the comment.
I'm glad you asked it anyway, Patrick! Peace.
