Is There a New Paradigm in the Relationship Between God and Man?

Luke is going out of his way to demonstrate that this story has massive narrative continuity with everything that God has done in the past. And indeed you get two gigantic payoffs to that stuff from the Old Testament, the first of which is this idea of going out to all the nations. The other big payoff we see is the arrival of the presence of God in a new way that was predicted back in the Old Testament and Haggai in Ezekiel.
