He draws attention to the gradual development of these prophecies throughout the Hebrew Bible, emphasizing their significance in the overall narrative of salvation history. Lord's scholarly approach is evident as he meticulously examines various passages and draws meaningful parallels between them and their fulfillment in the New Testament.
