Teaching in Parallel
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
Genesis 3:15
The whole essence of the Bible is show us that God is coming to bring salvation to his people. From the promise given to the fallen pair in Eden, the whole of the Old Testament is looking forward to the first coming when Jesus came to teach us the things of God. The purpose of the New Testament is help us know who Christ is. People of every generation since the beginning of time have been looking forward to the time when Jesus will come and vanquish sin forever.
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:1-4
