The New Testament is written against the background of the Old Testament. The shadows of the Old were fulfilled in the reality of the New. All the rituals and ceremonies were fulfilled in Jesus. The same is true of the temple, land, blood sacrifices, the nature of redemption, the resurrection of the dead, the breaking down of the dividing wall dividing Jews and Gentiles, and so much more. The New Testament's emphasis is on the finished work of Jesus and its application, not only to that Apostolic generation but to the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Hope of Israel and the Nations: New Testament Eschatology Accomplished and Applied \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003emaintains the following interpretive principles: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Bible is the best interpreter of itself.

We will pass from this life to the next life through death’s door. This is why Paul could write, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). James writes that we “are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). Vanishing into the ether is a haunting nightmare. Purpose is obliterated this side of the grave if this is all there is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut there is life after death. This is God’s promise. Jesus led the way.
