There are exactly 929 chapters in the Old Testament. Which means that the 930th chapter of the Bible (Matthew 1) is the very first chapter of the New Testament.
Check out how many years Adam lived:
Genesis 5:5 – Adam lived 930 years, and then he died
So in this example, Matthew chapter 1 is like a figurative baton or a king’s scepter.
Now we know that Adam’s sin brought death and condemnation to all people, and these effects of the old covenant extend to all until the authority is handed off to Someone Else.
1 Corinthians 15:22 – For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive and we know that Jesus’ death brought life and freedom from the punishment of sin to all people, and these effects of the new covenant extend to all under His everlasting authority.
Romans 6:14 – For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
Romans 10:4 – For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
Matthew 28:18 – And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”
And now behold the last word of the 930th chapter of the Bible:
Matthew 1:25 – And he called His name Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:17 – Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
