In this episode of You Can Handle the Truth! Kathy sits down with Bible scholar Shane Rosenthal to uncover how the Gospel of John connects directly to Genesis, Exodus, and Old Testament prophecies. Together, we explore Jacob’s ladder, Melchizedek, the angel of the Lord, the Passover lamb, and how every page of Scripture points to Jesus as the Messiah.   If you’ve ever wondered whether the Old Testament foreshadows Christ or how John’s Gospel proves the divinity of Jesus, this deep dive is for you. Chapters include detailed Scripture readings and discussion of prophecies fulfilled in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Whether you’re new to the faith or a lifelong Christian, you’ll gain fresh insight into how the Bible is truly one story pointing to Christ.   Subscribe for more conversations that connect faith, culture, and Scripture.   Chapter Notes & Time Stamps (00:00) Introduction and welcome (00:22) Meet Shane Rosenthal, resident Bible nerd (02:34) Why the Book of John may be earlier than scholars thought (05:00) How town names prove early Gospel writing (07:10) Jesus and Jacob’s Ladder — Genesis 28 connection (08:56) Yahweh, the Angel of the Lord, and the burning bush (12:14) John 1: “In the beginning was the Word” explained (14:14) Melchizedek and foreshadowing of the Messiah (16:15) God in human form in Genesis (17:20) The Son of Man in Daniel 7 and Jewish two-powers theology (18:02) Genesis 22: Sacrifice of Isaac and the foreshadowing of Jesus (20:22) The Angel of Yahweh and God’s promise of the Lamb (22:05) John’s Gospel and Old Testament prophecy fulfillment (25:43) Mathematical odds of prophecy fulfillment (26:09) Scripture Reading: Isaiah 52–53 — The Suffering Servant (28:08) Jesus as the Light of the World during the Feast of Booths (30:35) Exodus 13–14: Pillar of Fire and the Angel of the Lord (36:26) The Lamb of God and the meaning of Passover (40:47) The firstborn son and ultimate freedom in Christ (42:47) Closing encouragement: Investigating Jesus as Messiah 🔔 Watch, share, and subscribe for more weekly episodes where faith meets real life!   Connect with Us: Instagram: @ycht_podcast Facebook: You Can Handle the Truth Twitter/X: @YCHT_Podcast TikTok: ycht_podcast Website: www.youcanhandletruth.com Or contact us at our email ycht.socials@gmail.com   #YouCanHandleTheTruth #ChristianPodcast #Faith #Bible #CharlieKirk #ChristianPodcast #FreeSpeech #Truth #YouCanHandleTheTruth
