Institutes of the Christian Religion (1559) - John Calvin
Book 2 - God the Redeemer
Chapter 11 - The Difference between the Two Testaments
Sections 11-12 - OT referred to 1 nation; NT to all nations
Section 11 - The wall is torn down in Christ
The covenant was at first confined to Israel.
Deut 32:8-9; 10:14-15; Acts 14:16.
All nations brought in, and the distinction removed, in Christ.
Eph 2:14-17; Gal 3:28; 6:15; Col 3:11; Ps 2:8; 72:8.
Section 12 - The calling of the Gentiles
This astonished the NT Jews, though the OT foretold it.
Even Jesus waited until later to begin this - Matt 15:24; 10:5.
Their call and ingathering shown: Phil 2:9-10; Col 1:26-27; Eph 3:8-9.
[Also Matt 28:19-20; Acts 1:8]
