The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old and New Testaments.
If you’ve ever cracked open a Bible, you’ve probably noticed that it’s split into two parts, or “testaments.” Here’s a super-quick summary of each of them:
- The Old Testament is the story of God’s relationship with the Israelite people, often called the “Old Covenant.” It begins with the creation of the universe, moves through a vast amount of history, and ends with the building of the Second Temple in Jerusalem about 400 years before Jesus.
- The New Testament is the story of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ, God in human form. It covers a much smaller period — less than a hundred years — including Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, the destruction of the Jews' Temple, and the complete rejection of Israel as God's chosen people. It covers in detail the birth and first few decades of the church, which is referred to as the bride of Christ and God's new chosen people in Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul stated it this way:
- Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. - The New Testament also speaks about the end of the current church age, which is the end of history.
- The disciples ask Jesus Christ, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
- His answer was, " But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." Matthew 24 - There are no signs. It shall come suddenly without warning.
