"The needed structure that spans that gulf [between Old and New Testament] is the Book of Acts. Now how can Acts be that bridge between the Old and the New Testament if the first book of the New Testament is the Gospel of Matthew followed by three more gospels? The answer is that the purpose of the gospels is to reveal the nature, the life and the times of Yeshua, who is the Messiah. But the Book of Acts delves into how the followers of a Jewish Messiah whose messianic office is derived only from a Jewish Israelite religion and a Jewish Israelite holy book, somehow came to purposely include a gentile world."
