The Hebrew View of Theology in the Old Testament.

At CFM, we have a wonderful bible college called Christian Faith Institute. We have Diploma courses, Degree courses, Masters Courses and we’re getting ready to start a PhD by July.

We lecture in French language, Hausa language and English language. We have boarding facilities for students who live in the campus. Also, we have a team of wonderful staff.

Currently in the Masters Class, we’re looking at Hebrew View of Theology in the Old Testament.

The Hebrews in the Old Testament saw heaven and earth together as one cosmos. They saw creation as redeemed. The Greek culture didn’t see the redemption of creation. The saw the sinful, beyond redemption of evil to be destroyed.

The gospel from the Hebrew perspective is that God put Adam and Eve over His creation to be stewards to rule His creation with Him. Adam and Eve were not able to fulfil that function because of sin. So instead of ruling over creation, sin ruled over humanity and that brought destruction to creation. But in Christ, God is restoring this Adamic stewardship.

We like to say here at CFI that God doesn’t have a “Plan B”. God has a “Plan A”. He makes heaven and earth as seen in Genesis 1, puts Adam and Eve in charge and in rulership over the earth with Himself. That is God’s Plan A; that Heaven and Earth should be together as one. That the whole creation should be filled with His glory, blessing, abundance and goodness. Satan has tried to destroy that but God is redeeming the Adamic commission, He is redeeming our stewardship, He is redeeming our rule over the creation in order to fill creation with His glory.

It’s important to understand that God is the God of Plan A. we can go through the scriptures and see that at the end of the book of Revelation, we don’t see the earth destroyed. We see the heavenly Jerusalem coming down from above.

We want to encourage you today. That no matter what the enemy is doing, trying to make it look as though there is no hope, just know that there is a lot of hope. God is a God of hope and his purpose for our lives and for this creation is wonderful.

Darkness is not able to prevent it. Darkness will fight, it will claim great things, it will boast, it will intimidate; but darkness is already defeated by the cross and resurrection of Christ. If darkness was so mighty, Christ would not have risen from the dead. But darkness could do nothing about it. Christ rose victorious, without resistance, without even a battle.

That’s how light conquers darkness. Light is conquering darkness in our lives. Understand that God has a purpose for your life.
