Finding Jesus in Every Book of the Old Testament

    There are more references to Jesus in the Old Testament, than those that are listed. Throughout the Old Testament are the prophesies of Jesus, His First Coming, He fulfilled the Spring Feasts, and two of the Fall Feasts, the only one that is not fulfilled is the Feast of Booths or Tabernacles. At the Church I attend a presentation was given on these Feasts.

      Christ Revealed on March 21, 2019 at 7:59 pm

      The Old Testament has so much to say about Christ, it’s absolutely amazing. Studying the Feasts of the Old Testament is an eye-opening and incredible experience!

      The Bible says in Mark 3:28-30 that “people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter,” (except for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which is to claim that Christ is possessed by an evil spirit.) The Lord knows your heart, and God loves you. I would suggest that you find a Christian or pastor you can speak to where you live, who can help guide you through your questions.

    What bible version not matching KJV

    • Christ Revealed
      Christ Revealed on March 21, 2019 at 7:57 pm

      Kereama, the verses are from the NIV (New International Translation). If you’d like to read them in the KJV, there’s a dropdown menu on the Bible Gateway pages that the links take you to. You can choose from many versions of the Bible using that menu.

      Hope that helps!

    Thank you for your amazing website that continues to help me grow in faith, and I also thank the Baby Boomer group at my church home that shared a link for one of Dr. Patrick Gentempo’s, 9 part Episodes of Christ Revealed.

    Just sharing that I was raised Catholic, and re-baptized into the Christian faith in December of 2007. Continuing to grow my faith, my understanding, and my relationship with God is an amazing journey for me. I never truly felt true joy and peace within my heart until I was re-baptized, and started my relationship with our Lord.
