Jesus says to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:27. Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures. The last 6 words are key!
The prophets and Psalms foretold Christ, not every verse of scripture though. I would keep it simple and straight. The Samaritan lady at the well knew the old testament teachings on Christ
In Esther too? It’s the only one I haven’t made that connection with. Still God’s word and the history, but I don’t see a Christophany (Yahweh’s Angel/ Angel of the LORD”
I'm not sure what theologians would say at this case, but there are some fascinating elements at Esther book which point to relevant spiritual meanings.
But actually, this is the point. The book shows that although we do not see where is God, he is actually working all time for the salvation of his people and each of his faithful ones.
Thus it is a book about the Providence of God, acting behind the scenes at everything, taking care of the beloved children of God and not letting them down.
Symbolically, it is about the people of God (Jews/Christians) very far from home (Judea/Heaven) being vulnerable to worldly and spiritual enemies and the will of corrupt governments, while not being able to directly see God on their daily lives, but nevertheless being cared by God, which guaranteed not to abandon them (Jews), just like Jesus promised to us (Christians).
The account of Philip and the Eunuch can be found in Acts 8:26-40. We are told that the Eunuch is seated in the chariot, and later he commands the chariot to stop, indicating that he is not driving.
@@MatthewPeeters-l7i "Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning home; seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah." Looks to me like he's reading the scroll while driving.
@@cariboubearmalachy1174 I disagree with your conclusion. Why would he need to command the chariot to stop if he was driving and in control? As far as I'm aware, the driver stands in a chariot, but the Eunuch is seated. He is reading a scroll, which is further evidence that he is not driving. He is an official of high position, so is unlikely to be driving his own chariot. A more modern example would be someone scrolling on their phone, seated in the passenger of their car while their friend drives.

Jesus is the focus of the entire Bible.
When Jesus told the Pharisees himself that in the scriptures were talking about him not them
Amen! The Bible points to Jesus. Old and New Testaments.
Amen 🙏

Not every book has an example of Christophany, but, as you know, Esther's book goes beyond and does not even mention the name of God.

The book of Esther. . Never mentions God one time.
I like to tell athiests that's the book for them. . Never says God but you can see Him work.
Reading a scroll while riding a chariot? Really?

Christianity makes only sense without the old testament.
Fantasyland foolishness
