Hi yes, the Old Testament expresses God's plan for Eternal Life only it is explained as a fore glimpse. The reason for this is because the minds of people must be prepared and made ready to acknowledge the information from the Messiah, Daniel 9:24-27. As the Jews were awaiting the Messiah scripturally as acknowledged as the message from the Torah, they rejected Jesus of Nazareth as the coming Messiah and also the message he delivered in the Bible as the word of God, John 1:1.
The New Testament was completely rejected as a modern completion of God and never accepted along with the Torah. Even certain books of the Torah, such as Daniel was rejected as God's word by the Jewish nation. The Christian faith founded by Jesus Christ as the word of God in the New Testament did not have the support of the Judaism religion as was expected. The entire message was not received as a result. But how does the Old Testament express the hope of eternal life that foreshadow Jesus Christ and the role he takes up that is featured in the New Testament?
