Let's not stop there. The priests, scribes, judges, lawyers, prophets (catering to former) of Judah, chiefly at Jerusalem, were not far behind the depravity of the northern kingdom. WHile N. Israel had turned to drunkenness in dealing with doom, the south had taken to dealing with the devil.

Isaiah turned toward Judah, all the leaders there who ruled Jerusalem, because......

Isaiah 28:15 (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

How absurd! They were denying the truth of God's covenant with Abraham for all of Israel.

How many more examples aof backsliding are there in the OT and NT? How about today's world? So yes, there is ample reason to allow the OT to teach us what people did wrong and what happened so we need not repeat history.

Yes, since you're given to spiritually see that, do you think that "covenant with death" might also apply to the last days during the tribulation timing, i.e., the 1260 days of Daniel?

I have yet to see any Christian here say the OT is of no account, or against the NT, or irrelevant, or unimportant.

I really enjoy the Old Testament.

We get to know the nature of God. We hear the very words of God about his will and a little of his design. We learn of sin, forgiveness, praise etc. We have numerous examples of the Godly and Ungodly.

I must admit that the genealogies can be tiresome but learning names and places in the Original Hebrew gives a fuller experience to the thinking of certain characters as these names had real meaning. I am Bible Journalling and find the Old testament Prophets amazing. Praise God!
