Out of 7,957 verses in the New Testament, there are 283 quotations from the Old Testament. There are no New Testament verses quoted in the Old Testament. Reading and studying the Bible as God intended requires disciples of Jesus to interpret the Bible how He taught His disciples to interpret it, from Genesis through Malachi.
Jesus taught His disciples how to use Old Testament prophecy in their New Testament writing. One of my disciplers, Steve Troxel, said: "When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense. If you do, it (Bible) will all become nonsense!" The key that unlocks correct Bible interpretation is always to ask this question. "What were the original author's literal, historical, geographical, and cultural contexts?"
The best thing you could do for yourself, your family, and those you disciple is to help them grasp the Bible's big story from beginning to end. Laying a foundation of the Bible's overall Jewish narrative will vaccinate you against damaging interceptive diseases. The resources on this page may seem simple, even childish. But don't make the mistake of dismissing them. Follow this plan, and very quickly, you will lay a solid foundation for the personal study of the Bible. Complicated passages, even Revelation, will begin to make sense.
