In today's episode, I want to discuss the harmony between the Old and New Testaments of what it truly means to be a part of the house of Israel, as well as the "seed" of the promise given to Abraham.

The depth and beauty of Yahuah's truth is something I desire for us all to be reconciled to and through. Praise Yah!

**Please see updated transcript, as some verses are misquoted in Episode 30**

If there is one thing I am continuing to learn as I study Scripture, it is just how much harmony is between the “Old” Testament and the “New” Testament. I really don’t like using those words, “old” and “new,” because the truth is, is that labeling certain sections of the Bible as “Old Testament” and “New Testament” is a result of manmade title pages inserted into our Bible today to subtly divide the two, when that should have never been the case.

We should not have this perception of “old” and “new” when it comes to Scripture today.

In fact, the New Testament really doesn’t teach anything “new.” It confirms, strengthens, magnifies, and renews what has already been established. We have a “renewed” (i.e. new) covenant that was brought forth through our Messiah, but without understanding what it means to be in covenant with the Most High in the first place, there is much that will go misunderstood, and it becomes easy for one to read the New Testament with an isolated understanding of Scripture as a whole.

I am desperate to bring reconciliation to this issue, and it is for that reason that I want to take some time in today’s episode to discuss the harmony between the “Old Testament” and “New Testament.”

“I am the TRUE vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.”
John 15:1

I believe that there is a grievous misunderstanding within the body at large about the reason our Messiah was sent here. Without this understanding, we can’t truly know what it means to ”abide” in Him the way He instructs His disciples to as we continue to read through that passage in John 15. This deserves our attention, because He warns us that if we don’t “abide” in Him, we will be likened to a branch that gets cut off and cast away.

This is why we must understand how the branches were broken off to begin with. Broken branches in Scripture is symbolic to a broken covenant. Without this understanding, we cannot understand how the covenant was renewed through our Messiah.

He didn’t replace His Father’s covenant—He renewed it.

He came to atone for sin, yes, but the true gospel message is SO much deeper than that. He came to renew the covenant, in which He made a way for both natural and wild branches to be restored. This is why He says “I am the TRUE Vine” now.

But out of all things, why would our Messiah use the imagery of a vine and a vineyard in His instructions and parables?

Because He was/is teaching from the Scriptures. He is bringing to mind the prophecy that points us to Him. If you are wondering, “what prophecy?” then I encourage you to tap in to Episode 27.

In order to understand the back of the Book, we have to have a foundation in the Tanakh—what people refer to as “Old” Testament. It is truly amazing how much Scripture can bring so much revelation and clarity to just one short verse in John 15:1.
