Paul knew OT was all allegory and Imagination was God in man not classic theology Saul and all sons of man are blind about thinking like sons of God in them, Phil 2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
the ot was a
witness of Christ the messiah is that what you mean by allegory ? If so I agree
Paul knew the revelation of the gospel which is the culmination of the law and prophets
“For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.”
Matthew 11:13 KJV
the fulfillment of the prior prophetic witness of Christ the messiah
Paul understood where the word is divided
“The law and the prophets were
until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Luke 16:16 KJV
and Paul preached the same revelation as the other apostles did with the same conmission they had
Paul received this revelation when he met Christ on the road to Damascus
“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
And
beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
And he said unto them,
These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Then
opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them,
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
And
that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:25-27, 44-48 KJV
So Paul’s doctrine comes from that exact same revelation and commission
“But shewed
first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea,
and
then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great,
saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.”
Acts 26:20, 22-23 KJV
paul is one of the twelve apostles and the light that Christ would give us he’s speaking of is
here in prophecy like the is one
“Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation:
for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.”
Isaiah 51:4 KJV
the gospel of the kingdom is that light
