Genesis 12:1-3 reads:
" The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”"
The Old Testament is an account of a nation (the Jewish nation). The New Testament is an account of a Man (Jesus). The Jewish nation was founded and nurtured of God in order to bring Jesus into the world.
Christ's appearance on the earth is the central event of history!
The Old Testament sets the stage for it. The New Testament describes it.
