==God's possible interpretation==
Matthew 7:12: Therefore whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Possible interpretation of Matthew 7:12
Love your neighbor or pray for the neighbor to be loved to be loved by your neighbor.
Give money or pray for others to have money to receive money.
Give salvation or pray for salvation of others to receive salvation .
Give food or pray for people to receive food to receive food.
Give knowledge to receive knowledge.
Give help to receive help.
It may not be by chance that Fr Ilarion Argatu advice for having money was to give 3% to the poor and 10% for building churches. Also it may not be by chance that most richest countries are the ones helping other countries or that saints are helping many people with their salvation.
It may not be by chance that countries having many jobs have a culture of volunteering.
==God in Old Testament==
The main point of Bible, that includes the Old Testament, is to describe the relation between God and humanity. In Old Testament we see God making the Creation and the interaction between God and Creation until the incarnation of the Word of God.
In the Old Testament we see that God does not allow people to see him, anyhow in Jeremiah 31:31-34 God speaks about a New Law and that at that time everybody will know God . Even if the interpretation was not this, today many know Word of God or Jesus from icons. Also the only religion that has Holy Book describing both the Old and New Law, conforming probably with Jeremiah 31:31 is Christianity.
A New Law may mean another Law, thus Old Law may not be forever according with Jeremiah 31:31. Also based on Jeremiah 31:31 we know about a New Law and new may mean that restrictions of the Old Law may not be considered anymore including restrictions on food. Also a New Law may have another celebration day of Sunday instead of Saturday.
==Jesus or Word of God or Messiah in Old Testament==
Jesus was known as Word of God before taking human flesh , see John 1 where Jesus is declared to be the Word , to be God and Messiah. We can see teachings about Word of God in Genesis 15:1, in III Kings 6:11 or in Zechariah 12:1.
===Messiah in Old Testament===
In Old Testament we see prophecies about the coming of Messiah. Interestingly enough these prophecies speak about two endings, once Messiah dying and once Messiah coming as a leader and peace being restored. So these two endings may be impossible at the same time. So the assumption of one event being described by all prophecies can add great confusion.
The Psalm describing the coming of Messiah use the word describing the coming twice.
In Christian interpretation there are possibly two events, two comings described by the prophecies. Once when Messiah comes as a Savior to save humanity that is to bring back entrance to Heaven through Baptism and immortality through Holy Communion. In this event a part of the prophecies are fulfilled. The second event describes the second coming when probably the remaining prophecies will be fulfilled.
==Holy Spirit in Old Testament==
We can see teachings about Holy Spirit in Genesis 1:2.
==Icons in Old Testament==
Pictures of cherubim on temple door, on temple walls are mentioned in III Kings 6:29.
==Holy relics in Old Testament==
In 4 Kings 13:21 is mentioned the power of the Holy relics. In this book is mentioned that a dead person is thrown over the relics of Prophet Elisha and the dead person becomes alive. In 4 Kings 2:14 we see that belongings of Holy people can perform miracles, for example in this verse we see a cloth of Prophet Elijah being thrown into a river, that would retreat his waters making a clear passage for Prophet Elisha.
==Incense in Old Testament==
We see incense being mentioned multiple times in Old Testament for example in Exodus 30:7-9 and in Exodus 30:1.
