Biblical Basis for Missions – Old Testament Subjects

Posted on August 5, 2019 by Jeff Jones

There is every evidence that Isaac knew what was happening and yet what was his attitude? How did this dramatic dress rehearsal end?

A good book usually has strong #character development. It may even employ the tool of #foreshadowing and #symbolism. Well the greatest book ever written, the #Bible, is no exception. What are we to recognize of ourselves in Adam? What does Abel represent? Who was Enoch and what can we learn from him? What did Noah and his boat symbolize? What about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph? What do they show us about our walk with God? When you put these eight characters together, what does it show us about the way we are to live?
