RUSH: Speaking of religion, I gotta give my brother a plug here because it fits precisely with what I am talking about. See, I think religious Christians are among the most tolerant and open people and I think the evidence of the last three years is abundant. Look at all the things forced on this country, and there hasn't been anything like you see at the University of Missouri. There are no uprisings, no protests, no destruction. None of this. The intolerance is all on the left here. The lack of curiosity about things is on the left.
The arrogance and the condescension, the know-it-alls are all on the left, not on the right. Now, my brother is a devout Christian, independently studied and so forth, and he writes about it. He's got a new book out, and this is gonna shake up a lot of people. It's called The Emmaus Code, but it is the subheadline here that's gonna rock a lot of people: "Finding Jesus in the Old Testament." That's a bridge that you're not supposed to cross, and yet he has written an entire book on it. It's just out.
In fact, you might want to pick one up while you're out there picking up the latest Rush Revere children's book, Rush Revere and the Star-Spangled Banner. You might want to try to look for David's book called The Emmaus Code. It's E-m-m-a-u-s. It looks like Emmaus or Emmaus, but it's The Emmaus Code: Looking for Jesus in the Old Testament. The Emmaus Code sets up Christ in the New Testament. Well, I'll leave it to others to characterize that, but to some people that's gonna be, "Okay, let's put up fists up." It's not... You can't say that.
So here's a devout Christian, my brother, branching out beyond, not just accepting what is and being blindly devotional and loyal to it. There is that, of course. But all of this is, to me, rooted in the total misunderstanding of Christianity. It's rooted in fear. The misunderstanding derives from the fear on the part of the leftists of all religious people. Except, strangely enough, they're not afraid of Muslims. They're not afraid of Islam. They don't look at Islam as anything that can harm them or step in their way or judge them or what have you. (chuckles) Man, oh, man. If Sharia law ever hit, Hollywood would be closed. If Sharia law ever became the law of the land here, they wouldn't permit Hollywood -- or else it would be taken care of and used.
We'll deal with that later.

“Look at all the things forced on this country, and there hasn’t been anything like you see at the University of Missouri. “
You see to keep missing the obvious lately rush.
Yep, He's in the Old Testament all over the place.
And His entire Gospel is in Genesis chapter 5, if you know how to look.
Apparently I don't know how to look. Can you expand a little on your statement?
In Sunday School the teacher makes the point of going over the entire history of the Bible (10-minute version) and as it relates to Jesus and the NT scripture lesson.
Grace, obey, flourish, fail, punished, redeemed, Grace.....(repeat as needed).
At Christmas time I pass out a list of OT prophesies that talk about Jesus. It is amazing how many Christians will tell me “Wow - I didn’t know that!”
I’m no biblical scholar and even I see Christ in the Old Testament. He is the last Adam, the ark, the perfect lamb, our only means of Salvation.
Certainly. The key here is in the names. They were transliterated instead of translated.
Go here and you'll see.
I think that St. Augustine beat Mr. Limbaugh to the finding Jesus in the OT thing. Just saying.
Luke 24:13-35, especially verse 27 explains the title of the book pretty clearly.
Most interesting, thank you! God’s Word is deep.
It’s inexhaustible!

very... still taking it all in!! LOL Thanks for the link.
Excellent topic. I enjoy listening to Rush and I read David Limbaugh’s books: well written, clear, and interesting.
Biblical Scholars have fun looking for the Lord in the Old Testament. Origen (184-254), Justin Martyr (100-165) and Tertullian (155-240) did their best assembling and searching through the Scriptures. Such a project leads a student to the awe and appreciation of Aquinas (1224-1274) who seemed to have the pages of the Vulgate Bible guide him.
My favorite summary of how the Lord appears in the Old Testament is from St. Stephen who said, “Brothers, listen to me!” (Acts 7:2).
There are web sites that have outlines of the Lord showing up in the OT and NT. But that takes all the fun out of the search. Thankfully, the Bible never gets boring.
Thanks for posting that link!
Always fascinating to read about Christ in the OT.
Wow, pretty amazing, and exciting!
One of my favorite jewels from God’s Word.
Would you please tell me which ones they are? I would LOVE to read them.
