Join hosts Matt and Tina in this episode of the Step into Scripture podcast as they guide listeners through Old Testament events where heaven touches earth. The discussion spans the covenant family of Abraham, explores the transformation of Jacob, a shadow of the Messiah, and delves into deeper meanings in Genesis. The hosts offer clarifying commentary on the behaviors and narratives of important biblical figures, examining how these events foreshadow the coming of Jesus Christ and the spiritual kingdom He establishes. They also shed light on the concept of a 'metanarrative' of Scripture, a unifying story woven throughout the Bible, linking event-to-event and person-to-person in a divine cascade. Discover the connections between physical and spiritual kingdoms and how our lives fit into God's overarching story. The podcast also refers and links to additional resources for those interested in going deeper into the topics discussed.
