The idea of Old Testament / New Testament is based on the exact definition of the term “Testament.” This term, Testament, actually is synonymous with the term Covenant. Therefore, the English Biblical heading Old Testament actually means Old Covenant whereas, in contrast, the English Bible heading New Testament actually means New Covenant. With this accurate definition and understanding of the terms, we can then point out that John the Baptist, though during New Testament time, was actually functioning under the Old Testament (Old Covenant). The New Covenant would not be inaugurated until after the atoning sacrifice, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. This provided the foundation for the forgiveness of sins and the Holy Spirit coming (Acts 2), giving birth to the Church. This is why Jesus would say, Matthew 11:11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Why do Christians love to put heaven as some goal to be achieved when Jesus clearly stated in Luke 17:21 that its already among us?
How can John be an Old Testament prophet when he was born in the New Testament?
