The Old Testament Was Written For Us

Psa. 22:31 "They will come and declare His
   righteousness to a people who will be
   born,
That He has done this."
Psa. 102:18-22 "This will be written for the generation
   to come,
That a people yet to be created may
   praise the Lord.
For He looked down from the height of
   His sanctuary;
From heaven the Lord viewed the
   earth,
To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To loose those appointed to death,
To declare the name of the Lord in
   Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
When the peoples are gathered
   together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord."
Rom. 15:4 "For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."
1 Cor. 10:5-12 "But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, 'The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.' (Eod. 32:6) Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us *tempt (test) Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our *admonition (instruction), on whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."
Israel insight
Pastor Claude Ezagouri expressed how sad it was to him that only New Testament Bibles are distributed around the world, leaving out the roots. The Old Testament foretells what Jesus fulfilled in the New Testament. He was amazed when he realized Jesus was Who they spoke of in their Torah.
