The “gospel” of the Old Testament, if you wish, was simply “Our God reigns!” (Isa. 52:7; Pss. 96, 97, 99). Everyone knew that. It was the cry of deliverance as Israel emerged from Egypt through the Red Sea (Exod. 15:18). It was understood by all that “God caused His glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses” (Isa. 63:12). That “arm” was, simply, God’s rule in action.
