"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." - Matthew 5:17-18 (NIV)

the gospel is not just about the cross. for that matter, the gospel is not just about the cross and the resurrection. the gospel is about:

1. the cross (Passover)
2. the burial (Feast of Unleavened Bread)
3. the resurrection (Feast of Firstfruits)
4. the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost (Feast of Weeks)
5. the rapture (Feast of Trumpets)
6. the day of Christ (Day of Atonement)
7. the millennial kingdom (Feast of Tabernacles)

8. the day of the LORD (Revelation 20:7-15)
9. the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21-22)

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."" - Revelation 21:1-4 (NIV)
