		<description><![CDATA[Hi Steven
Excellent suggestion - and I&#039;d be interested in having a look at that paper.

I did cover it in Totus Christus, although I could be wrong about where the blindness occurs in the pattern of things.

&lt;strong&gt;Creation&lt;/strong&gt; - Saul was still &lt;em&gt;breathing&lt;/em&gt; threats against the church, and asked for letters (anointing) from the High Priest authorising him to retrieve the believers in Damascus to Jerusalem. Saul wanted to turn back the four winds. On his way, a light from heaven flashed around him. It was a better anointing. &lt;em&gt;(Genesis)&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Division&lt;/strong&gt; - Saul fell to the ground like a dead man. The Lord asked him why he was persecuting Him. &lt;em&gt;(Exodus)&lt;/em&gt;

Ascension - “Rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do” (Law). &lt;em&gt;(Leviticus)&lt;/em&gt;

Testing - The men who travelled with him saw nothing. And Saul was blinded. They led him by the hand and he fasted for three days. &lt;em&gt;(Numbers)&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Maturity&lt;/strong&gt; - Ananias was commanded to go to Saul at the house of Judas (Law). He feared Saul, but the Lord said he would carry his name before Gentiles, kings and the children of Israel. &lt;em&gt;(Deuteronomy)&lt;/em&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Conquest&lt;/strong&gt; - Ananias laid hands on Saul, scales fell from his eyes and his sight was restored. He arose (resurrection) and was baptized. (Joshua)

&lt;strong&gt;Glorification&lt;/strong&gt; - Saul ate and was strengthened. He immediately proclaimed Jesus as Son of God in the synagogues. &lt;em&gt;(Judges)&lt;/em&gt;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you done the chiasm with Paul&#039;s own conversion?  I think it could work.  I wrote a paper last year about how circumcision and apocalypse are connected in Galatians.  I wonder if in Paul&#039;s experience, his &quot;circumcision&quot; was his vision of the revealed Christ (I suggested there were connections between the scales falling off his eyes and foreskins, though they don&#039;t fall off until later), and then later he was baptized back in town.]]></description>
