And what is his name? As for the OT having "no knowledge", Yeshua is the "Word of God" (Revelation 19:13) & (John 1:14), for which the "Word" is the Law and the prophets. Yeshua said the "kingdom of heaven" "from the time of John the Baptist until now"... "suffers violence" (Matthew 11:12). The followers of Paul have attempted to make that "Word" "obsolete" (Hebrews 8:13). Paul's followers for the most part, do not think they need to produce "good fruit", and that they are already "saved", and they are released from the Law (Roman 7:6). Yeshua disagrees (Matthew 7:19-23). The axe is at the foot of the trees that do not produce good fruit. As for who are sons of God, that would be those who do the will of God (Matthew 12:50)
I don't see where the Word is the Law and the prophets (OT) anywhere. Could you cite that verse?
In the mean time:
John 1:
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
The OT fathers neither knew the Father nor the Holy Spirit. Which is why they died.
John 6:
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
Unless you wish to see bread as leaven rather than (spiritual) knowledge. To "eat Christs body" is spiritual, not cannibalistic as the Jews saw.
