[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 4117153, member: 65823"] The "law and the prophets" refer to the writings of the Old Testament (Luke 19:26). There are specific prophecies foretelling the coming of Christ, but also the coming of Christ is the heart and soul of Old Testament, just as the Second Coming of Christ is the basic message of the New Testament. We hear the apostle Peter as he declares, "Jesus Christ . . . which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began" (Acts 3:21). The Lord Jesus said, ". . . All things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me" (Luke 24:44); and "search the scriptures, for . . . they testify of Me" (John 5:39). The writer of the book of Hebrews argues from the priest-hood of Jesus that a change of laws has occurred. The text says, "For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law" (Heb. 7:12). The Old Testament priesthood descended through the lineage of Aaron. His descendants were assisted in their ministry at the altar by the other descendants of the tribe of Levi. The Old Testament commanded that the blood of bulls and goats was to be offered on a literal altar for sin. Under the New Testament, the blood of Christ was shed once for all times on the cross of Calvary as an atonement for the sins of men under both covenants. We need to remember the fundamental themes of the Bible, one of which is that in these days, God speaks to us through his Son. "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Heb. 1:1-2). We are no longer living under Old Testament legislation. [/QUOTE]
