Interesting to compare the promises given to God’s people in Old and New Testaments:
Old | New |
---|---|
Land of milk and honey | Streams of living water, Jesus the Bread of Life |
Victory over enemies | Victory over sin, death and the devil |
Nations serve the people of God | Nations join the people of God |
Abundant harvests | Abundant fruitfulness |
Everyone sitting under his own vine and his own fig tree | Seated in heavenly places in Christ; nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. |
Promised Land | New Creation |
