"Old bad eyes" followed by "Almighty fear" reflects 2 Corinthians 3:14, where it's revealed that the Old Testament casts a veil on us that's only removed through Christ.

The Old Testament places too much emphasis on wrath and fear brought about by the Fallen. It's through Christ's revelations of God's grace the importance of repentance where salvation is found.
