The Bible and the Law


As a financial adviser I found this interesting.  Here is something that was written a couple of thousand years ago in the Bible and it is exactly what the law is in the US today!

Hebrews 9:15-17(NKJV)
And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 
For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 

What is another name for a testament?  A will (to keep it simple I am not including trusts here).  This is a legal document that governs the disposal of your assets when you die.  Your will has absolutely no legal power while you are alive.  But at the instant of death, it becomes the document that winds up all of your affairs here on earth.

Isn't it interesting that the Bible got it right so far ahead of time?  :)
