No Book in the Old Testament ever mentions Christ or prophesies his coming. However, pious Christians, from the author of Matthew's Gospel onwards, have found Old Testament passages that they could interpret as referring to Jesus Christ. One of the favourites is Isaiah 7:14, because the Septuagint version of this passage appears to refer to someone born of a virgin.

Books such as Isaiah, Micah, and Zechariah in the Old Testament contain prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, who Christians believe to be Jesus Christ. These prophecies foretell various aspects of Christ's life, including his birth, ministry, suffering, and resurrection.

Where in the New Testament does it talk about tithing at 10 percent?

The concept of tithing at 10 percent is not explicitly mentioned in the New Testament. In the New Testament, giving is emphasized as a matter of generosity and according to one's means, rather than a specific percentage. The principles of generosity, cheerful giving, and supporting the work of the church are highlighted instead.


Where in the Bible does it talk about Jesus and the money changers?

The story of Jesus overturning the tables of the money changers is found in the New Testament books of Matthew 21:12-13, Mark 11:15-17, and Luke 19:45-46. In these passages, Jesus cleanses the temple in Jerusalem, driving out those who were buying and selling in the temple courts.

In these verses, Jesus is describing the sudden and unexpected nature of his return.

This serves as a reminder for believers to be prepared and vigilant for his coming.

What are the two sections of the bible and what do they talk about?

The Old Testament and The New Testament. The Old Testament pretty much lays down the foundation of the world, talks about the events leading up the birth and death of Christ, and lays down a bunch of rules. It's pretty much packed with Biblical history. The New Testament describes the coming of Christ and his persecution and death on the cross, and God's promise to the world to come again.

In the Bible are here is no such thing as elite saints. In the Old Testament the word saints refers to the righteous or people set apart for God's work or angels. In the New Testament the word saints is used to talk about believers "in Christ". It does not refer to their special holy character but rather that these people are God's, set apart from others by their relationship with Him.
