There we learn more about the nature of God and these further revelations help us make sense of the actions from the OT. Many on this forum loves to pick and choose which part of Christianity or God they will mock next--ignoring the fact every little detail is only one among thousands that form a complete understanding of God in general and Christianity specifically.
No, I don't have to view the Hebrew Bible as a precursor to the NT; that is a specifically Christian claim. Take it up with the Jews.
