kill your first wife if it meant that she was proud.

(For those who can't read Hebrew, this ask says Kohelet, which name is usually rendered in translation as Ecclesiastes.)

and promising not to do that was, imo, a dick move, because it's probably the answer to all of our problems nowadays

The Tanakh Prepares the Way; the New Testament Reveals the Messiah

The Tanakh, the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings, prepares the way for Jesus Christ. From Genesis to Malachi, God unfolds His plan of redemption. The New Testament does not introduce a different God or an unrelated message. It reveals that the promises, patterns, sacrifices, and prophecies of the Hebrew Scriptures find their fulfillment in Jesus the Messiah.

In Genesis, God promises that the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. In Exodus, the blood of the Passover lamb delivers God’s people from judgment. In Leviticus, sacrifices reveal that sin requires atonement. In the Psalms, we see the righteous sufferer, the rejected stone, and God’s anointed King. The prophets speak of a virgin conceiving, a ruler coming from Bethlehem, a suffering servant bearing our sins, and the Son of Man receiving an everlasting kingdom.

These Scriptures were preparing the world for Christ.

Jesus said:

“Search the scriptures… they are they which testify of me.”

John 5:39, KJV

After His resurrection, Jesus began with Moses and all the prophets and explained the things written concerning Himself. The disciples did not invent a new story. Their eyes were opened to see that the story had always been pointing toward Christ.

Jesus is the true Passover Lamb. He is the promised offspring who defeats the serpent. He is the suffering servant who was wounded for our transgressions. He is the rejected stone who became the cornerstone. He is the Son of Man whose kingdom will never pass away.

The Gospel is the fulfillment of God’s promise: Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. The cross was not an accident, and the resurrection was not an afterthought. God had announced His saving purpose beforehand.

Not every verse is a direct prophecy about Jesus, but the whole biblical story moves toward Him. The Law reveals our need for righteousness. The sacrifices reveal our need for atonement. The prophets announce redemption. The Writings express hope for God’s promised King.

Also I'm just curious why did the audio cut off when Jonathan was about to speak about King Saul. And why were David's eyes following the viewer during the whole thing? I'm bad at theorizing sorry!

Great animation!! You've earned a sub and follow from me!!

Why thank you!

Obviously as I put out more animations, there’ll be answers or hints of something you wish to understand, so I can’t reveal much about it as of right now.

But yes, Jonathan’s audio got cut off because of, and look at all of the depictions of David throughout the animation. It’s a very vague answer, I know. You just gotta sprinkle the breadcrumbs first since only a few pages have been covered so far, but stay tuned! David has more songs to sing!
