The Old Testament tells stories of (Christian) God's Prophets. The Hebrew Bible ends with the Book of Chronicles, while the Christian Old Testament ends with the Book of Malachi which is a prophecy of the coming of the Messiah (Christ).
Now I told you before not to cut Sunday School to going riding on your bike....
Sounds like British Israelism/Christian Identity to me! How can the Old Testament tell stories of (Christian) God's Prophets when there were no Christains then. The old Testament is the history of the Hebrews taking over Ancient Egypt then getting kicked out while being chased out by the Pharaoh while running off with the Egytians gold and so on ......
If you help me with my paper round I might have time for Sunday School, will you? I will give you 30 pence out of every pound I get, you can save up to buy me a present.
