Old Testament Quotations

New Testament

How the Holy Spirit Interprets His Word

Have you ever wondered about all of the references in the margins of your Bible? They came into being because someone took the time to compare all the New Testament verses with the Old Testament passages. From this comparison many New Testament thoughts were found to be direct quotations or expressions of ideas which had been originally spoken in the Old Testament.

After years of reading the Bible, one day the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart to find out how much of God's O.T. principles came over into the New Testament. So I began going through each book of the New Testament paying careful attention to the marginal references which mentioned Old Testament passages. I compared each N.T. verse with its O.T. reference. (I used two different Bible publishers.) I had never been this thorough in looking up margin references before. It was a lot of work.

However, shortly after I began, the Spirit began to reveal to me how God Has Not Changed. It was revealed that many O.T. prophecies I had not considered before, applied to my New Testament salvation. Also it was revealed that many of God's principles under the Old Testament came through the cross of Calvary and apply unto the body of Christ; ... the Church.

Also the Spirit revealed how the Holy Ghost pulls seemingly unrelated thoughts from completely different books and prophets, linking them together to give wisdom and understanding. Other nuggets of understanding came to me which I had somehow missed before. So, ....this paper has been prepared that you might share in that blessing, too.

Contained within is a listing of Old Testament passages and where each is quoted in the New Testament. For instance, the first one is : Gen. 1:27 .......... Matt. 19:4 . That means that part or all of Matt. 19:4 came from Gen. 1:27 ("male and female created he them"). Thus, this thought or understanding was not original from Jesus' ministry but was a principle found in Genesis.

I suggest that you compare both verses and mark the common phrases or words or thoughts in both testaments with a highlight marker. Beside each verse note in red ink where its companion verse is found in the other testament. It may take you several weeks and or even months, working some each day; but oh, what the Spirit will teach you!

After I had completed my comparison, another brother shared with me this list of Old Testament quotations found in the New Testament. I have not checked each one from this list using the marginal references, as I did my own list, so there may be typing errors. Remember, if you start this Bible study project, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the understanding that he wants to impart to you.

You may as well cover every marginal reference too.

Many N.T. verses do not quote the O.T. but the idea they express is not new -- it came from the Old Testament. It is not considered a quote, but, it definitely shows you that the specific N.T. thought was not original. It had been expressed and revealed hundreds of years ago by the Holy Ghost as a Kingdom truth. And it was a truth passing into the New Testament Church.

For instance, compare the wording of Isa. 22:22 with Rev. 3:7 and you will see what I mean. Rev. 3:7 is not a quote but it expresses the same thought to the church. Don't miss these.

They are filled with knowledge.

Remember, you should :

(1)..mark all quotations you find

(2) ...mark all phrases which express the same thought as the Old Testament.

May God give you patience and insight!
