St. Augustine famously wrote that “The New Testament lies hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is unveiled in the New”. It is amazing to see how God uses figures from the Old Testament to foreshadow Christ and His church. When we think of the New Testament, we usually understand it to be exclusively in the Bible. However, can’t it be said that we are living in the New Testament now? The story of Christ’s church still continues until the end of time. Would it be all that surprising if various events in Church history are “hidden” in the Old Testament, as St. Augustine says? Astonishingly, Our Lady’s apparitions bear remarkable resemblances to Old Testament stories about the ark and the prophets! What else could be “hidden” in the Old Testament?
