The spirit in the course of the New Testament is often dragging into light, so to speak, some obscure corners of the old scriptures which might be naturally passed by.
“When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called My son out of Egypt”
(
Hos. 11:1
1
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. (Hosea 11:1)
).
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you”
(
Hab. 1:5
5
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you. (Habakkuk 1:5)
).
“Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace!”
(
Nah. 1:15
15
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. (Nahum 1:15)
). But it helps to affirm that
“all scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
The stars in that hemisphere of glories may differ in magnitude, but they are equally the workmanship of one hand. There is no portion of the Old Testament that is not either expressly cited or distinctly referred to or silently glanced at in the New.
