10 Interesting Facts About The Old Testament

2. Jesus Believed in the Whole Old Testament

When Jesus referred to "the Scriptures" he was referring to the entire Old Testament from beginning to end. He spoke about people and events in the Old Testament as historical, which many have classified as fiction. For example: The Creation of the World, Adam and Eve, Satan, Noah and the Flood, Abraham, Lot's Wife, Sodom and Gomorrah, Moses and the Burning Bush, The Exodus and Passover, the Manna in the Wilderness, the Bronze Snake, the Tabernacle of Moses, King David, King Solomon, the Queen of Sheba, the Temple in Jerusalem, Nineveh and the Assyrians, Jonah and the Whale, just to name a few. He spoke many times about the Scriptures: "The Scriptures cannot be broken" John 10:35; "This day the Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" Luke 4:21; "Hath not the Scripture said" John 7:42; "Have you never read the Scriptures" Matthew 21:42. Jesus believed that the entire Old Testament from beginning to end was the Word of God, and that it could not be destroyed, and everything it says will be fulfilled in due time.

"Until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or tittle will pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Matthew 5:18
