This is so because God\u2019s purposes often far exceed human understanding (Eccl. 8:16\u201317) and because he was authoring not simply individual books but <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book whose parts were \u2018incomplete\u2019 until Jesus \u2018fulfilled\u2019 them by his coming. Nevertheless, while the coming of Christ certainly fills out the meaning of numerous Old Testament texts, the New Testament testifies that the Old Testament authors usually understood their end-times visions, had a true hope in the coming Messiah, and had some sense about the timing of his coming.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_crdt_document":""},"class_list":["post-4655","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
