Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

ALSO the LORD God clothed them

Unto Adam also and to his wife
did the LORD God make coats of skin,
and clothed them.

Gen 3:21 ¶Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skin, and clothed them.

"also" - this, in addition to the curse and the promised destruction of the serpent.

The provision of the coats of skin required the shedding of the blood of innocent animals. The coats of skin are contrasted with the apron of fig leaves they had made to cover themselves

14 ¶And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Revelation 20:2 KJT
And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

Isaiah 61:10 KJT
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Are you clothed with the garments of salvation?
Are you covered with the robe of righteousness?
