In the New Testament, the willful rebellion of the Jewish people was revealed as being predicated upon their continuation of their father's stiff necked rebellion. This was mentioned several times in the NT, was it not?
The New Testament goes into how in Adam, all men die. Tracing the origin of sin and our fallen state back to our very first ancestor, Adam. Does it not?
These are all pieces of a larger picture.
