OT in Review

You don't actually expect me to summarize the OT for you, do you?
I wouldn't dream of robbing you of the joy of discovery.
I'll give you a starting point: Genesis 1. The Creator who blesses.
A hint given earlier in the beginning of the Malachi post is:

“The Creator has sovereignly determined to bless those who faithfully do what's right in His sight, and curse those who don't (and in the process glorifies Himself).”

Since Matthew flows out of the OT and opens with:
"1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham"   You might want to consider how God's promises to bless in the Abrahamic, Deuteronomic, Davidic, and New Covenants fit into the scheme.
Jot down some summary thoughts about the OT, since all the teaching of the NT is built on it, especially the Sermon on the Mount. Summary and synthesis is difficult for people who sense the details rather than intuit the big picture, but it's a skill that can be learned and developed. If I were to ask you: "Hey, you just finished reading the OT, what is it about?"
You might reply, "Something about God and His people Israel.:
"Oh really, what does it say about that relationship?"
"Just read DailyTruthbase."
