“And last of
all, as to one untimely born, he appeared to me also.” - 1Corinthians 15:8
In 1Corinthians
15:8, the apostle Paul is referring to the appearance of Jesus when Paul was traveling
on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:3). Paul refers to the appearance of Jesus to
Paul “as to one untimely born.” The birth of the Patriarch Benjamin was also “untimely”
since it happened while his family was traveling on the road and resulted in
the death of his mother. Both of these “untimely births” happened while
traveling on the road between Israel and Syria.
Can you find any
other messianic prophecies about Paul veiled in the Genesis account of Benjamin?
