An analysis of the discrepancies between the Greek Septuagint (LXX) and the Masoretic Text (MT) concerning prophecies in Daniel 9:24-27, particularly about the Messiah, indicate corruptions were deliberately made to prophecies in the MT to minimize their fulfilment in Jesus Christ. This affects interpretations of Christ's role in destroying Temple worship in 70 AD.
The rescue mission of Christ culminated in His crucifixion and resurrection, establishing the New Covenant based on grace. I critique Christian-Zionist Robert Stearns for undermining Jesus' messianic significance, emphasizing that salvation is exclusively through Christ. I also contrast the Old Covenant's requirements with the grace of the New Covenant.
In his book "God Keeps His Promises" JD Hall brings the ancient lens of Scripture back into focus and reminds God’s people that His promises have always found their “Yes and Amen” in Jesus Christ, not in the shifting sands of modern politics, but in the unshakeable kingdom of heaven.
The majority of self-identified Christians misunderstand the significance of and difference between the Old and New Covenants. The New Covenant represents the fulfilment of the Old, which is obsolete and ineffective. It cannot save. Through Christ’s sacrifice, believers are granted a new relationship with God, emphasizing grace over the law, invalidating the Old Covenant's relevance.
