 WITHOUT A KNOWLEDGE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT, WE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND MANY THINGS WRITTEN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. WHEN JESUS SPEAKS OF SOLOMON AND ALL HIS GLORY, WE KNOW THAT HE IS SPEAKING ABOUT WHAT HE'S SPEAKING ABOUT BECAUSE HIS GLORY IS DESCRIBED IN PASSAGES LIKE 1 KINGS CHAPTER 10. WHEN JESUS SAID, REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE IN LUKE 17 32, WE WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND UNLESS WE HAD READ IN GENESIS 19 HOW GOD TURNED LOT'S WIFE INTO A PILLAR OF SALT WHEN SHE DISOBEYED THE LORD.
