End of old testament and starting of new testament
The Old Testament and the New Testament are the two main sections of the Christian Bible. The Old Testament is the first part of the Bible and contains the stories of the creation of the world, the history of the Israelites, and the prophecies of the coming Messiah. The New Testament is the second part of the Bible and contains the stories of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the early Christian church.
The Old Testament ends with the book of Malachi, which is the last book of the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament begins with the book of Matthew, which is the first book of the Christian Bible.
Here is a brief overview of the transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament:
Old Testament:
- The Old Testament is the first part of the Christian Bible and contains the stories of the creation of the world, the history of the Israelites, and the prophecies of the coming Messiah.
- The Old Testament is divided into several sections, including the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible), the Historical Books, the Wisdom Literature, and the Prophetic Books.
- The Old Testament ends with the book of Malachi, which is the last book of the Hebrew Bible.
New Testament:
- The New Testament is the second part of the Christian Bible and contains the stories of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the early Christian church.
- The New Testament is divided into four sections: the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles (letters) of Paul and other early Christian leaders, and the Book of Revelation.
- The New Testament begins with the book of Matthew, which is the first book of the Christian Bible.
The transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament is marked by the coming of Jesus Christ, who is considered the fulfillment of the prophecies and promises of the Old Testament. The New Testament is seen as a new era in the history of salvation, with Jesus Christ as the central figure.
