BIBLE VERSES You Never Knew Were CONNECTED w/ Dr. Scott Hahn

what are some lesser known maybe uh characters in Genesis or Exodus that prefigure Christ in a way that most Catholics haven't thought about yeah okay so you mentioned Adam you know and and how as our first father he was the mediator of the old Covenant right and you know he was tested in a garden but he went to the wrong tree and then he partook of food and the only other time in the entire Bible where you have the phrase their eyes were opened Genesis 3:7 wow they eat the wrong fruit and their eyes are

open to nakedness phrase I never made that Con in Luke 24 the new Adam who has established the New Covenant in his own body and blood yeah is going to withhold his identity until their hearts are burning and then he takes He blesses he breaks and he gives and their eyes were opened wow in the breaking of the bread so the old Covenant collapses the new fruit that's right so all of us as humans have Adam as our Founding Father even Israel in the old covenant could trace its genealogy back to Adam so we're in

a glorious house but the old Covenant is like being in a home that is on fire you don't want to stay there just because it's a beautiful house you want to get out because Jesus has borne the curses for having broken that Covenant but also he has released the blessings of the New Covenant and so the New Covenant is for Jew and Greek it's for Israel and the Gentiles you know at SI when the Tabernacle was built by Moses and the people Bez and a holab it was only barely big enough for the 12 tribes

to assemble that's the old Covenant Augustin ainus Point what what Paul is saying that when you look at the temple at Zion it's different than the Tabernacle at SI because Gentiles like ham of Ty actually built the temple for Israel the largest Precinct in the solomonic temple was the court of the Gentiles because they were invited up to learn to sing the Psalms the songs of David and also to offer prayer to the god of Israel because Israel is our older brother their God is our father too so the New Covenant that unites Jew Greek

Israel and the Gentiles this is why Paul never says we are the tabernac we're the Temple of the Holy Spirit okay so it's not just pointing to Jesus it's also pointing to the church it's pointing to you know circumcision on the Eighth Day H Jesus was raised on the eighth day when the mortal flesh that you get from Adam is basically cut off and you get the immortal Body of Christ on the eighth day and you are baptized into that and so in the old Covenant you have the Feast of Pentecost that celebrates well there's

an arc from Passover to Pentecost 50 days after Passover when the law of the old Covenant is given but they worship the calf in Exodus 32 and three th000 are slaughtered By The Sword of the Levites the new Pentecost you have what well the holy spirit is the new law is poured out upon All Flesh and then 3,000 are slain By The Sword of the spirit and resurrected in the waters of baptism because that's the new Pentecost and again this is found throughout the church fathers so it's not just predictions here and there like you're

connecting dots it's the whole cumulative effect of reading the law Prophets The writings and the Psalms as like all of this you know the the the worst analogy I can think of is the only analogy and so it's the best you know I don't know if anybody here would remember Magic Eye art from the 9s you know the first time you had art that could only have been generated by computers yeah not even the best artists could I mean you look at these books called Magic Eye we have all four volumes and they're not particularly

beautiful they're colorful but only when you look at them with a kind of dead eyee or a contemplative you know just not gazing but do they suddenly pop off the page and become three-dimensional I remember seeing the episode of Seinfeld uh and also there were like two or three other popular shows friends also because some can see it and others can that's right you can read the law and the prophets and get the literal sense but as Paul tells the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 3 the letter alone kills it's the spirit that gives life the

spirit doesn't go against the letter but it goes was beyond it draws out yeah so the three-dimensionality of this Divine Artistry the Trinity alone could account for but that basically endows to varying degrees all of the Old Testament becomes a prophecy of the new then Jesus rebuke is not adding you know insult to injury haven't they been through enough it's not rubbing salt into an open foolish men and slow of heart it's giving them a diagnosis just like he had given to the disciples the 12 for example in mark eight you know you have eyes

but you can't see you have ears but you can't hear how many loaves were there five and then how many baskets of the 12 and how many loaves were you know there were seven baskets do you still not understand and they're like uh no and most you know most lectur and congregations are like No And so what does Mark do he shows Jesus proceeding to heal a blind man do you see yeah but I see men as trees walking okay so let's do it again round two and so that blind man is like exhibit a

he exemplifies me and the disciples who think they can see wait a minute you know the disciples are like we know there were Five Loaves two fish and 12 baskets we know there were seven Loaves and you know a few fish and then seven baskets what is the numerical symbolism you need the Holy Spirit you need the Holy Trinity you need the Pascal mystery and even then it's not like easy peasy how help me see the numerical significance I mean okay cuz I'm still seeing trees walking around right okay when Jesus is in the promised

land up in Galilee that's Israel Five Loaves two fish many say the five books of Moses you know you feed the 5,000 and you fill how many baskets 12 yeah the 12 tribes of Israel but then Jesus goes outside the promised land and you have seven Loaves and you think okay outside the promised land you know God created the whole world in seven days there are seven different tribes of the Canaanites and so the seven and then the seven baskets of leftover you so you have the seven Loaves and and so it's Jesus basically providing

food for Israel and the Gentiles which is why then he defaults to you know don't have the leaven of the Pharisees and the herodians they're like Jesus we don't have any bread whether it's leavened or not do you still not understand because what the Pharisees and the Sadducees and the herodians wanted was like to make is great again apart from the Gentiles at the expense of the Gentiles whereas what God the father wants is that the whole Human family would come together under a new Adam who's tested in a garden goes to the right tree

and then he dies with a new EVE giving consent and so eyes are open in the breaking of the Eucharistic bread which is the antidote to mortality it's the new Adam and so all of these things are just going to be like not candy for the soul but I mean solid meat and this is why Paul laments the fact that you ought to be enjoying the succulent steak but I got to take you back to the spiritual milk oh my goodness that's definitely me men have you checked out Exodus 90 lately if you've heard of
