He saw it and was glad\u201d (John 8:56). The patriarch eagerly expected the Messiah and his coming. Similarly, Peter believed that David himself anticipated Christ\u2019s coming in Psalm 16, and David\u2019s last words before death affirm that this author of many psalms was hoping in a just ruler who would overcome the curse and initiate a new creation (2 Sam. 23:3\u20137). The Old Testament remnant enjoyed some level of light, by which they could see clearly and understand rightly many of the things God used them to declare; they themselves wrote of the Christ and hoped in him. On the other hand, we also read, \u201cI tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it\u201d (Luke 10:24). It seems that we should understand Yahweh\u2019s prophets of old as truly seeing God\u2019s beauty and purposes, as well as the hope that awaited them, while we also affirm that they did not experience and, therefore, comprehend all that we experience and comprehend in Christ. For them, full disclosure awaited a later day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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-4533","reading-plan","type-reading-plan","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan\/4533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reading-plan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reading-plan"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handstotheplow.org\/om\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
