54 Criteria to Discern the Key OT Theme 辨別主要的 OT 主題的標準。 Yes No Text-based 基於文章內容 Covers whole Bible 包括整夲聖經 Narrow enough to be helpful 縮小範圍是有幫助的 Focuses on God as He is the Subject 著重於上帝由於他是主題 Not from systematics 不是從系統神學而來 Not piecemeal 不是零散的 “Life” is too general a theme to help us 「生活」是一般幫助我們的一個主題 Man is not the subject of the Bible 男人不是聖經主題 What principles will assure that our theme for the OT and NT is accurate? The theme should come out of the text rather be imposed on the text from systematic theology. It should be comprehensive enough to cover all of Scripture from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. It should be narrow enough and specific enough to be helpful (e.g., it is not helpful to say that the Bible talks about “life”). Since God is the main subject of the Word, it should focus more on God than man.

God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good (24-25). 神說:「地上要生出活物來，各從其類; 牲畜ヽ昆蟲和地上的野獸，各從其類!」事就這樣成了。於是，神造了地上的野獸，各從其類;牲畜，各從其類; 地上的各樣昆蟲，各從其類。神看這是好的 (創 1:24-25)。

22 An All-Encompassing Theme 全面性的主題
58 Genesis 1:26-28 “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish … birds … livestock … all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground…’ God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.” 啟示錄 22:5 「不再有黑夜。他們也不用燈光 日光。因為主神要光照他們。他 們要作王ヽ直到永永遠遠。」 The Bible’s Theme: God extends His rule to man 聖經主題:神擴展對人管理的律例 Command 命令 Covenants 約 Fulfillment 完成

23 Kingdom & Covenants Timeline國度與約的時間順序
50 Kingdom Teaching..王國教導. Adam rules with God (Gen. 1:26, 28; 2:19) Satan rules as god of this world (Gen. 3:15; 2 Cor. 4:4) God covenants with Abraham to reestablish man's rule via Israel as a "kingdom of priests" (Gen. 12:1-3; Exod. 19:6) Israel’s failure to witness to nations as a kingdom of priests is judged via exile under foreign rule Israel rejects Messiah’s offer of kingdom (Matt. 12:41-42; 23:37-39) Jesus extends His kingdom in mystery form to the Church (Matt. 13) Christ subdues Israel’s enemies and nation believes (Rom. 11:26-27) Christ rules over everything with saints (Eph. 1:9-10; Rev. 20:1-6; 22:5b) Fall of Man (Gen. 3) Noahic Covenant 挪亞之約 Genesis 6:18; 9:8-17 ISRAEL CHURCH MESSIANIC KINGDOM Palestinian Covenant (National Focus) The “New Man” (Eph. 2:15) Millennial Eternal Full restoration (Ezek. 37:8-28) Jerusalem world capital (Isa. 2:1-5) Genesis 15:18 (cf. Deut. 30:1-10) promises: Land from Wadi of Egypt to Euphrates River (Isa. 27:12) Eternal possession of land (Gen. 17:8) after exile/restoration Whole world blessed via the land (Isa. 14:1-2) Israel judged for rejecting Messiah by dispersion away from land for 19 centuries (AD 70–AD 1948) but now partially restored (Ezek. 37:1-7) land New Jerusalem (Rev. 21) Davidic Covenant Christ is Head over His Church, which is a spiritual temple (Eph. 2:19-22; 2 Cor. 6:16) Christ reigns over the world (Isa. 11) with saints (Rev. 5:10) Christ hands kingdom over to Father (1 Cor. 15:24) Abrahamic Covenant Genesis 12:1-3 seed 2 Samuel 7:12-16 promises perpetual: Sons (“house” never wiped out) Kingdom (political dynasty) Throne (right to rule by descendants) Temple (son to build it) New Covenant All 5 elements fulfilled in national restoration (Zech. 8) All things made new! (Rev. 21:5) blessing Jeremiah 31:31-34 promises: Forgiveness Indwelling Spirit New heart, nature, mind Reunification of Israel and Judah No need for evangelism Mosaic Law replaced with first three elements of the New Covenant (Luke 22:20; 2 Cor. 3:6) Mosaic Covenant Law abolished, fulfilled, and replaced at the cross (Rom. 7:1-6;1 Cor. 9:19-21; Heb. 8:13) Second Edition 2 January 1998 Temporary (Gal. 3:19) and conditional (Deut. 28) to reveal sin (Rom. 7:7) and regulate Israel (Gal. 3:23-25) Scripture contains a dual kingdom-covenant emphasis. Israel’s role from Abraham to Christ is expanded to include the Church (continuity) yet the Church never replaces the nation as the “new Israel” (discontinuity). Israel will again enjoy world prominence after trusting in Christ at His second coming.
