THE NEW THINGS IN THE BIBLE 
 Pastor J. C. O’Hair

 
In Ecclesiastes 1:9 we read “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
Things under God’s Sun may change form and combination; but there is nothing new under God’s Sun.
But note, in Jeremiah 31:22, how God promised something new under the Sun; that His Son, Who was above the Sun, in God’s bosom (John 1:18), would be born of a woman.
“The Lord hath created a New Thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a Man.” (Jeremiah 31:22). That Man would be the virgin’s Son and be Immanuel. “God with us.” (Isaiah 7:14). And through this New Thing on earth God promised to redeem the human race on the earth, and to have a New Heavens and a New Earth through a New Covenant. (Jeremiah 31:31 to 38 - Isaiah 66:22 and 23).
About 1945 years ago there was on this earth Something New under God’s Sun. It was God’s Son conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary. This was, indeed, something New under God’s Sun. That Son is called the Sun of righteousness. (Malachi 4:2). That New Thing was the Ancient of Days. (Daniel 7:9). He said, if ye “believe not that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24). He was first, in the form of God, and created the Sun and everything that was made. (Philippians 2:5 and 6 - John 1:1 to 10 - Colossians 1:15 to 18).
That He might establish the New Covenant and produce New Creatures to make up, with Himself, the one New Man of Ephesians 2:15, and ultimately the New Jerusalem, the New Heavens, and All Things New, (Revelation 2:17 - Revelation 3:12 - Revelation 5:9 - Revelation 21:1 to 5), the New Thing, on earth, had to suffer awful shame and agony on the cross of Calvary. “This is My blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” (Matthew 26:28). Then Christ’s messengers became able ministers of the New Covenant (II Corinthians 3:6).
Then through a new apostle, Paul, God’s Son, Who had gone back to heaven, revealed that God was going to have another New Thing that would be seated above the Sun in the Son. God’s Word tells us that members of Christ’s Body are seated in the heavenlies, and there, in Christ blessed with all spiritual blessings.” (Ephesians 2:6 and 1:3). This was so New that Paul was put in jail for announcing it as New Truth. God had had other redeemed companies, “Churches,” on earth; but now He was to have that redeemed Company, Which He foreknew, predestinated and chose in, and for His Son, from before the foundation of the world. (Ephesians 1:5 - Ephesians 1:1 - II Timothy 1:9 - Romans 8:28 to 32).
This New Thing is called “Christ” in I Corinthians 12:12. It will be the Perfect Man of Ephesians 4:13. It will be One Flesh with Christ. (Ephesians 5:31 and 32). It will be One New Man of Ephesians 2:15. It will be the Filling-Up of Christ. (Ephesians 1:21 to 23). It is called the “Joint-Body” in Ephesians 3:6. The members of this New Church are New Creatures in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 6:15; II Corinthians 5:17). These New Creatures are exhorted to put on their New Man. (Ephesians 4:24 - Colossians 3:10). This Church (Body) will be completed and presented to Christ as a glorious, holy, spotless Church. (Ephesians 5:26 to 28).
Then the Son of God will come for a New Kingdom, a New order on this earth. (Read Isaiah 2:1 to 8). He will have a New Israel. Read Isaiah 62:1 to 4. We quote verse two: “The Gentiles shall see thy righteousness And thou shalt be called by a New Name, Which the mouth of the Lord shall name.” (Hephzibah. The Lord delighteth in thee). This will begin the Restitution of all things. Then will follow the New Jerusalem - the New Heavens and the New Earth of Isaiah 66:22 and 23 and Revelation 21:1 and 2. And then ultimately after the earth has melted with fervent heat and these present things have passed away, as told in II Peter 3:9 to 13, righteousness will dwell in the New Heavens and New Earth and the final announcement of Revelation 21:5, “BEHOLD I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.”

What is the Gospel?

Believing Christ died, that’s HISTORY.

Believing Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that’s SALVATION.

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which the preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.  1. Corinthians 15:1-4
