    That’s kind of the whole point of Jesus existing. Jesus brought forth the new covenant. Before this, God was worshipped by sacrifices, strict rules, etc. In the old testament, the Jews(God’s chosen) failed to keep God’s law, and they were repeatedly punished for it.

    The Messiah the Jews expected was going to be the savior and liberator of the Jews and “put them on top” so to speak.

    Instead, Jesus offered salvation to all(gentiles). Clearly, Jesus and his new covenant stands in defiance of the old testament.

    The old testament is mostly viewed in historical context.
