06-Apostolic Understanding of the Prophets

The apostles, in their letters, never speak of any reinstatement
of a Jewish kingdom. Rather, they tell us that the prophets
spoke of the new covenant, which would be inaugurated by
Christ. They tell us again and again that we must read the Old
Testament (law and prophets) – in the present case, Ezekiel –
through the eyes of Christ and the apostles, and see gospel
days being spoken of in the prophets and the law, finding
there the display of the glories of the new covenant
established by Christ.
