A New Thing Cordell Mitchell

In this book I have examined thirty points of God ending prophesies of a coming event and then begins a new thing in the New Testament. Not always are these points clearly seen in the church. One that is not clearly seen but when pointed out, it becomes obvious: Leprosy. In the Old Testament, Naaman the Syrian, the four lepers at the gate of Samaria, the instructions for the offerings of the cleansing of a leper in Leviticus, and other places pointed to leprosy, but no leper was ever cleansed that was an Israelite. These places did not seem to be a prophecy, until Jesus healed leprosy and told them to go show themselves to the priests and offer the gift Moses required as a witness. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13. And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. (Luk 17:12-14) Literally, every leper pointed to Him who was coming to heal and deliver from leprosy. Then Jesus came, and thereafter He has been healing the leprosy of sin ever since through the gospel message. So also, are the twenty-nine others. In total, there are one hundred, yet the book had to end at thirty. The next 70 may be given to you, the reader, to write and thereby finish this work that I have begun. The title of this book says it all: "A New Thing."
