Although the Bible is made up of sixty-six books, it has one main subject. Christ is the grand theme of Scripture. The Old Testament contains many predictions, or prophecies, concerning Christ. The New Testament tells of His coming as a redeemer. Christ is concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament. The Bible also tells of Jesus' death, burial, resurrection and ascension back to heaven. It concludes by revealing the next events to take place on planet earth. Jesus Christ will reign on earth for 1000 years. Then, there will be a final judgement called “The Great White Throne Judgement.” Lastly, a “new heaven and a new earth” will be established. The Bible gives us the plan of the ages from creation to a new creation. Revelation 21 and 22.

The NT is tested by the OT!
Acts 17:10 Â And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 Â These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
The Bereans were knowledgable of the scriptures at that time(OT). When they listened to Paul and Silas speak, they checked the scriptures to see if what they were saying was true!
GOD bless

No. The NT was written to reflect the fulfillment of prophecy that appeared in the OT. Anyone can do this.
Find a book that has predictions. Then write a book that says they came true. Then tell people that both books are true.

The prophecies in the OT are fulfilled in the new. Well, many of them have been; some are still to come. So in that respect, yes.

The New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old

Indirectly. The book of Isaiah is full of references to Christ and salvation, which is what the NT is all about.

No, but prophesies were and they were fulfilled in the new testament. The prophesies about the Messiah were the most noted.
