1Corinthians 15:08 - The closer you look at the apostle Paul the more you can see the patriarch Benjamin through the veil

“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?
