25 Mary Prophecies So Obvious ... How Did Protestants Miss Them?

From Totus Catholica. Especially appropriate for today's Feast!

You’ve probably heard it before: a Protestant friend says “Mary isn’t in the Bible” and points out she appears only a few times in the Gospels. So why do Catholics make such a big deal? What they’re missing is massive. Mary isn’t just in the Gospels. She’s woven through the entire Old Testament. There are 25 clear prophecies and biblical types pointing to her, hidden in plain sight for thousands of years. 📌 These aren’t speculative. They’re rooted in the Catechism, confirmed by the Church Fathers, and echoed in papal teaching. When you see them, you realize Protestants haven’t just missed Mary. They’ve missed one of the most beautiful threads in salvation history itself. By the end of this video, you’ll see how the entire Old Testament is actually pointing to Mary, waiting for her “yes,” and you’ll understand that Catholics aren’t inventing Mary—we’re simply reading what God inspired from the very beginning. ✨ What You’ll Discover 📖 The 4 explicit prophecies: Genesis 3;15, Isaiah 7;14, Micah 5;2-3, Jeremiah 31;22 🕊️ How typology works: why Adam/Christ, Exodus/salvation, Temple/Church… and yes, Mary 📜 25 Marian types in the Old Testament: women, objects, and events that prefigure Our Lady 🔥 How the Church Fathers, liturgy, and magisterium all read Mary in these passages 💬 How to answer “Mary isn’t biblical” with Scripture, not just tradition ⏳ Chapters 0:00 – “Mary Isn’t in the Bible”? 1:28 – The Real Problem: Sola Scriptura and Ignoring Typology 3:04 – Four Explicit Prophecies of Mary 6:04 – Objects and Structures That Prefigure Mary 8:59 – Old Testament Women Who Foreshadow Our Lady 11:35 – Protestant Objections to Typology Answered 13:45 – What This Means for Your Faith 🌐 Stay Connected: 📿 Daily Holy Hour – https://totuscatholica.org/rosary 🌍 Website – https://totuscatholica.org ✉️ Contact me – https://totuscatholica.org/contact 📖 Key Prophecies & Types Mentioned Direct prophecies: Genesis 3;15 – The Woman and her Seed who crush the serpent Isaiah 7;14 – “A virgin shall conceive and bear a son” Micah 5;2-3 – The woman who labors and brings forth the ruler from Bethlehem Jeremiah 31;22 – “A woman shall compass a man,” a new thing on the earth Objects & images that prefigure Mary: Noah’s Ark – Preserved vessel through which humanity is saved Jacob’s Ladder – Heaven and earth joined; Mary as the bridge through whom God descends Burning Bush – God present without consuming; Christ in Mary’s womb without harming her virginity Aaron’s Rod – Dead wood that buds and bears fruit; virginal womb bringing forth Life Gideon’s Fleece – Miraculous dew; image of the Spirit overshadowing Mary East Gate of the Temple (Ezekiel 44;2) – Closed gate only the Lord enters; perpetual virginity Ark of the Covenant – Containing the word, manna, and priestly staff; Mary bears the Word, Bread of Life, and Eternal High Priest Garden Enclosed / Fountain Sealed (Song 4;12) – Purity and set-apartness applied to Our Lady Women who foreshadow Mary: Eve – Mother of all living; Mary, Mother of all living in grace (New Eve) Sarah – Barren yet mother of nations; Mary, virgin yet Mother of all peoples Rebekah – Clothing Jacob to receive the blessing; Mary clothing the Son with our humanity Rachel – Mother of Joseph; Mary, Mother of the true Savior rejected and betrayed Miriam – Sister of the mediator and priest; Mary, Mother of the Mediator and Eternal High Priest Deborah, Judith, Esther – Women whose courage, intercession, and “head-crushing” victories prefigure Mary’s battle with the serpent Hannah – Her canticle echoed in Mary’s Magnificat The Maccabean Mother – Seven sons’ martyrdom; a foreshadowing of Mary’s Seven Sorrows 💬 Reflection Question If the Old Testament is soaked in Marian prefigurement—from Genesis to the prophets to the wisdom books—what does that say about God’s plan for Mary, and how should it change the way you speak about her to Protestants and to fellow Catholics?
