Many wonder if Jesus came to abolish the Old Testament, but his own words clarify this misunderstanding. In Matthew 5:17, Jesus states, 'Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.' This is a profound declaration. Instead of discarding the Old Testament, Jesus saw it as the promise he came to fulfill. Each law, prophecy, and sacrificial system was a foreshadowing of his coming. Therefore, the Old Testament is not just a precursor to the New Testament; it is an integral part of the Christian Bible, fulfilled in Christ. The Septuagint provides context for understanding this fulfillment. Unlike the Masoretic Text, which presents a later edited version, the Septuagint reflects the earliest Greek translations of the Hebrew scriptures available to Jesus' contemporaries. This text reveals the continuity and completion that Jesus brought to the scriptures of his day. → Matthew 5:17 Read the whole Bible, Septuagint and KJV side by side, at sovereignlogos.com Free Bible app: sovereignlogos.com/app #jesusfulfillscripture #septuaginttruth #matthew5_17 #biblestudy #oldandnewtestament #SovereignLogos #Septuagint #Scripture #KJV #BiblicalTruth #ChristianShorts #BibleExplained #WordOfGod #Jesus #Christianity #OldTestament #NewTestament #BibleVerse #Faith #ScriptureStudy
