They had the gospel, too

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Heb. 4:2

This verse says that the gospel was preached to those in Moses' time. How was it preached?

Probably word of mouth. I would believe that since Moses wrote the first 5 books, many must of heard about Enoch? etc.

LOL True enough, but what I'm getting at is that if those in the Old Testament were preached the gospel the same as us, why is there so much misunderstanding about the covenants?

Why do some people not believe in the Old Testament?

[Gail]

Do you think the people of the Old Testament understood the Gospel?

After all, isn't it called in Revelation the EVERLASTING gospel?

[phkrause]

Yes I do think that they understood very well.

The gospel is laid out in the sacrificial system and the feast days.
