Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what
was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

Exodus 6:6  I will redeem you with an outstretched arm 

Ezekiel 2:9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,

Ezekiel 3:3 Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your
stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.

Revelation 10:9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said
to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as
sweet as honey.’”

Revelation 5:6-7,9 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the
center of the throne

He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne….

And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its
seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God 

(The Lamb’s opening of the scroll, symbolizing the fulfillment of God’s covenant plan…)

While with regard to its effect(Eucharist), the chief figure was the Manna, "having in it the
sweetness of every taste" (Wisdom 16:20), just as the grace of this sacrament refreshes the soul
in all respects.

Wisdom 16:20 Instead of this, you nourished your people with food of angels and
furnished them bread from heaven

Psalm 78:24-25 He rained down manna for the people to eat… Human beings ate the
bread of angels…    endowed with all delights and conforming to every taste.

Exodus 16:31 The people of Israel called the bread manna…It tasted like wafers made
with honey.

Just as food and drink delight and refresh the heart of man, so does this “Heavenly Bread
containing within itself all sweetness -- CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA (Eucharist)

"Lord Jesus Christ, pierce my soul with your love so that I may always long for you
alone, who are the bread of angels and the fulfillment of the soul's deepest desires.
May my heart always hunger for you, so that soul may be filled with the sweetness of
your presence"

- Saint Bonaventure

John 20:19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with
the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
“Peace be with you!”
Ezekiel 2:6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid,
though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of
what they say or be terrified by them, though they are a rebellious people.

Acts 2:2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind


Ezekiel 1:4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out 

Acts 2:4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
Ezekiel 2:2 the Spirit came into me

Ezekiel 3 5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and strange language, but to
the people of Israel— 6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and strange language, whose
words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
