Interesting thought on O.T. Prophets
A guy speaking at the conference we were in this week in Dallas brought up an interesting point. One of those things that just makes you go, "Hmmmmmm....".
He said that even though we call the end of Malachi and the first of Matthew the division of the Old Testament and New Testament, that the New Testament or "New Covenant" did not actually begin until Jesus' death, burial & resurrection. So all the stuff in the gospels before that happened, was really still Old Covenant, not New. Therefore, John the Baptist was the LAST Old Testament prophet. He came at the end of 400 years of silence and proclaimed Jesus. That wasn't even his main point, but it just kind of threw me; I'd never thought of it that way. Am I the only one???
