Here’s a brief blog series on each of the 12 days of Christmas, with Christian meanings
Two turtledoves
Two testaments
God has revealed Himself in His Word, and we divide that into Old and New testaments.
“The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed.”
“The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed.”
It has become politically correct to only refer to the Old Testament as the Hebrew Bible, out of sensitivity to Judaism, to not call their Scriptures “Old.” But this is a mistake. The Old Testament is Act One and Two of God’s grand play: Creation and Fall. It does NOT stand on its own, but calls for more.
The New Testament gives us Acts Three and Four: Redemption and Completion. I’d encourage you to read some from each testament every day of 2021.
