•
Typology Charts
The Fathers of the Church saw the Unnamed Servant as a symbolic "type" of God the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the only person of the Holy Trinity who does not have a personal name. Compare the major players in this narrative with the Most Holy Trinity and the Church:
Just Father Abraham Yahweh, God the Father
Righteous Son Isaac Jesus the Son
Servant Unnamed Servant Holy Spirit
The Bride Rebecca The Church
Question: "The Unnamed Servant" is a name that the Fathers of the Church used for God the Holy Spirit. WHY? What is his mission in the New Covenant?
Answer: He is the only person of the Trinity not to have a personal name. It is His mission to bring the "Bride"= the Church, to the Bridegroom = Christ!
"However, when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth..." John 16:13 [also see John 14:26; 15:26].
I believe the whole plan of redemption is right there in Genesis. If you back up you’ll see Eliezer is Abraham’s servant which is qualifying Rebecca by the well.
I had no idea the name Lazarus meat this
Thanks for sharing.
PS: I even believe the mount Abraham and Isaac climbed was Golgotha, maybe just splitting hares
