John 14:7-9 to Jeremiah 24:7

NT Text: John 14:7-9

OT Source(s):

• Jeremiah 24:7 (covenant: knowing God)
• Psalms 46:10 (exhortations to know God)
• Exodus 33:18 (Moses' limited vision of God)
• Isaiah 6:1-3 (Isaiah's throne vision)
• Isaiah 40:5 (glory of Lord revealed)
• Deuteronomy 18:18 ("I will put my words in his mouth")
• Deuteronomy 34:10-12 (Moses sent to perform signs/works)

Source: Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown, Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Reference Type: Allusion

Connection Method(s): Promise-Fulfillment + Typology

Significance: Covenant language of knowing God. OT: generally future blessing/urged rather than present. With Jesus' coming, situation changed. Philip asks for theophany (cf. Moses, Isaiah). John repeatedly denies direct unmediated vision of God (1:18; 5:37; 6:46).
