Just read this:
Can That Be Right? The New Testament (removed link since the text was published - got refresher on the board's rules - sorry!)
I posted this comment:
I am not sure why there is a problem – and I won’t go into each instance, but there is a reasonable explanation for the NT writers’ use of the OT – that is – the NT writers had the fullness of the revealed Messiah along with the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
Anything they re-contextualized from the OT becomes the most accurate context for the OT in light of the new covenant, regardless of the original OT context within the old covenant.
Luke 24:27 (English Standard Version)
27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
John 14:26 (English Standard Version)
26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
