I'm God.
That's why the Pharisees want to stone him in that chapter because he's saying he's the face of God that was interacting with Moses.
So this is why the book of Colossians, the book of Hebrews, call Jesus the icon, I-K-O-N in the Greek, the image of the Father.
This enrages the Pharisees.
So we think that iconography directly flows out of the incarnation, the Son being the image of the Father.
Thus, throughout the early church, you have the development of the liturgy
even in the first and second century, and this has been shown through archeological evidence, through people who study liturgy, they're called liturgists, even Protestant Anglican liturgists note that the early church had altars, they had imagery, even synagogues in the first and second century.
One of the famous cases is the Dura-Europos Synagogue in Syria.
I think it's from the early 200s.
It's lined with images, paintings of Old Testament scenes and imagery.
The Orthodox Church, if you look at the Douro-Europos Synagogue, is the most natural development of
if Christianity was going to open up to the Gentiles, and it was coming out of the temple and synagogue liturgical system, is exactly what it would look like.
It would look like an Orthodox church, and lo and behold, that's what Orthodox churches look like.
And by the way, I remember in 2023, my priest, who's a great Russian Orthodox priest, Father Vladimir, he took us on a pilgrimage to Italy, and I was like,
Why are we going to Italy?
Isn't that Rome?
Well, there's a thousand years of Christianity, you know, prior to the rise of the medieval papacy in Italy.
And there's tons of Orthodox places that you could go to, right, in Italy.
And so we went to the catacombs in Rome.
And lo and behold, when the Christians were persecuted in their underground in the catacombs in the first, second, third century.
