Are all the Old Testament prophecies coming to fulfillment in the New Testament?
Yes. The Old Testament prophecies are now coming to fulfillment in the New Testament, which is not a separate program but an extension of the Old. Their fulfillment rests on God’s promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Law through Moses, and the promise to David of a coming King.
Les explains that all of the Old Testament prophecies are now coming to fulfillment, and this fulfillment comes in the New Testament as an extension of the Old. He stresses that many people think there is a big wall between the Old Testament and the New Testament, but nothing could be further from the truth. The fulfillment is based on everything God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; the Law through Moses was another covenant; then David was promised that the King would come from him. Matthew 1:1 identifies Jesus Christ as the son of David, the son of Abraham, because the coming of the King and the Kingdom began with Abraham, not Adam, so the genealogy goes back only that far.
