Lesson 1
Christ in the bible
There are two types of Theology, dispensational and covenantal. Dispensational is focused on what God did whereas covenantal is focused on what God said .

We first have to get an appreciation of the whole mystery of God to rightly divide the word of God.

The Bible has 8 sections ( layers) and Christ is the theme of all sections of the bible.

In the law / Pentatauch / Torah ( Genesis to Detronomy) the foundation of all things is laid for Christ.

In the History Books ( Joshua to Esther ) we see the preparation of all things for christ.

In the poetry ( Job to Song of Solomon ) , we see the aspiration for Christ being expressed.

In the prophecy ( Isaiah to Malachi ), the expectation of The christ is unleashed

In the Gospels (Matthew to John) , the manifestation of Christ is revealed

In the book of Acts the propagation of Christ is seen

The epistles from Romans to Jude show the application and interpretation of Christ.

In the book of Revelation we figure out the consummation of all things in Christ.
The unity of the bible is based on Christ (Christocentric)

In the book of Genesis, we find election from the seed ( Jesus christ)…….

From the beginning, we have the same plan , this plan is the plan of Redemption. You become redeemed because you can be made righteous by faith in Christ.

God took Abram’s name and put Yahwe in its middle forming Abraham. As according to Genesis 17 : 3 to 5 .

God’s principles haven’t changed , in the Old testament, the sign that God was in relationship with someone was circumcision , in the old testament it’s still Circumcision. The only variation is that it’s now an inward heart.

In Genesis, he is the seed of the woman.
Evert

In Exodus he is the passover lamb

In Leviticus he is the atoning sacrifice

Moses was supposed to smite the rock once , but , he smote it twice. The leader Had done the wrong thing but God answered out of His benevolence. When leaders do the wrong thing , God is still gracious.

In Deuteronomy Jesus is the faithful Prophet.

In the book of Joshua he is the captain of the army .
