About this episode
Bishop Frank Caggiano and Gary Michuta discuss how Old Testament prophecies reveal Jesus as the Messiah and the implications for faith in a secular culture.
How do we know Jesus is truly the Messiah promised in the Old Testament? In this episode, Bishop Frank Caggiano sits down with renowned Catholic apologist and author Gary Michuta to explore some of the most compelling messianic prophecies found in Sacred Scripture and how they reveal Jesus Christ as the long-awaited Savior of the world. Drawing from his latest book, Messiah: Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled in Christ, Gary takes listeners deep into the biblical, historical, and theological foundations of the Catholic faith, unpacking ancient prophecies that point directly to Christ. From Psalm 110 and Daniel 7 to the royal promises made throughout the Old Testament, this conversation reveals how the Scriptures form a unified story of salvation centered on Jesus. Together, Bishop Frank and Gary discuss how understanding these prophecies can transform the way Catholics read the Bible, strengthen personal faith, and equip believers to share and defend Christianity in an increasingly secular culture. They also explore the importance of biblical exegesis, the role of original languages, and how modern scholarship continues to uncover the richness of God’s plan throughout salvation…
