Have you ever wondered why the Bible was divided into the Old and New Testaments? This division was not intended to benefit you. Instead, it was a deliberate effort to discourage you from reading the Old Testament. When I was a young boy, church leaders told me that the Old Testament was for the Jewish people and the New Testament was for those in Christ. This explanation prevented me from comprehending the purpose of the Old Testament. As I grew older and was saved, I sought understanding from the Lord. I discovered that the New Testament fulfilled God’s word from the Old Testament. Additionally, I realized that all the writings were read as a single book. It wasn’t until the division arose that discouraged me and others from reading the Old Testament. I also discovered that three of the gospels were initially unnamed. They were later named Matthew, Mark, and John. The only gospel that was named correctly was Luke because he included his name in it. Interestingly, I learned that the name of that of the last book in the Bible was named Revelation by church leaders. The most significant lesson I learned is that the Old Testament is God’s word, written by those chosen by God and inspired by the Holy Spirit to record the words concerning His divine plan. It spoke of Christ, His birth, His crucifixion, and many other aspects of His life. Christ came to fulfill all that was written about Him in the Old Testament. They are interconnected and should be viewed as one. Properly dividing the scriptures, the Old Testament was prophecy, while the New Testament fulfilled the prophecies. If church leaders had understood this, they would have never separated them. The Bible would have been the testimony of Jesus Christ and God’s divine plan for humanity. Even in Revelation it says it is the testimony of Jesus Christ. Even Jesus encouraged us to read Daniel that we might understand clearer of what he was saying in Matthew 24. (See comment for the rest)
