good catch
but you're missing one more.
Though the mark on the foreheads of the righteous and wicked was certainly spiritual and thus invisible, it is possible that this mark on the forehead, at least the one placed on the wicked, may have had a physical and thus visible component. The seal...
God's messiah was referred to as "David", and was to be "king" (Ez 36 & 37) over the combined house of Judah and the house of Israel, in the form of "Judah"/Jews, and a reconstituted Ephraim/Joseph, on the land given to Jacob/Israel, and that they would be given a new heart and spirit, and would...
Since this thread questions whether religious zionism is included in Christianity, I think it is good to show how much scriptural support there is for it. There are so many verses, that it will take several posts to list them all. I'll put them in spoilers so that readers do not need to scroll...
The word for "new thing" in Isaiah 43:19 is "הדש." A parallel passage using the same Hebrew word (הדש) describes God doing something utterly new:
How long will thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? For the Lord hath created a new thing [הדש] in the earth: a woman will clone a man...
@crossfire thank you for explaining when Joseph was born, way before Moses. Was Moses ever a trader, or was Moses a pharaoh? Pharaohs aren't traders, or are they? According to @Bthoth Moses would be living god due to @Bthoth claims Pharaohs as living god
@Bthoth can you explain more what was...
Joseph was the son of Jacob, (also known as Israel.) Jacob was the son of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham. Joseph was at the time of the beginning of the migration to Egypt, while Moses was at the time of the exodus from Egypt. Moses carried Joseph's bones out of Egypt at the exodus...
I see that you are back to excessively breaking up up posts. There really is no excuse for doing that.
But I did not say same person. It is thought to be a composite work done much later than the myth. That means various authors, not one author, working together to piece together...
The descriptions. The word choice. For example, in chap 5, there is an angel. It is the same angel as in Exodus13. Exodus 23, but they are described using different word choices. If they were the same source, this would not have happened. This is pretty standard in scriptural source...
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy glorious תפארת cloths בגדי, O Jerusalem the Holy City: For henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Isaiah 52:1.
In the verse above, the so-called "glorious cloth" is the "proof-of-virginity-cloth"...
Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy glorious תפארת cloths בגדי, O Jerusalem the Holy City: For henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Isaiah 52:1.
Archetypically speaking, circumcision is a wedding ritual. The father-in-law חתן...
"Yam suph" is reed sea, not red sea.
There's no written or archæological evidence of a large population if Israelites in Egypt.
There's no archæological evidence of millions of Isrælites living in a desert for 40 years.
There's no evidence that Moses wrote the Torah.
Exodus13:17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a]...
Sure, each type of demise could have a corresponding angel. The ones I know of are Azrael ( the Helper ), Abbadon ( Destruction ), Satan ( the Accuser ).
But now you're confusing the tree of life, with the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and still omitting the "good" from the tree of...
You're saying that "day" has only ONE definition? A lot of folks would disagree w/ you:
day, twenty-four hours, twenty-four hour period, 24-hour interval, solar day, mean solar
day noun time for Earth to make a complete rotation on its axis "two days later they left"; "they put on...
The Sabbath commandment has not been abolished. It is a remembrance of God’s rest from His creation work and covenant sign between God and the Israelites forever…
Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout...
Earlier in the examination it was pointed out that at least 30 times the word for "hands" (as found in English version of the MT interpretation of Daniel 2:34) is always ידים rather than ידון (the latter being found in the text of Daniel 2:34). Interpreting ידון as "hands" (in Daniel 2:34) is...
Exegesis to justify the interpretation above would be a thread all in itself. But someone always points out the ellipsis when this verse is brought up. The text implies that it's man "and beast" for whom the "womb-opener" פטר רחם is a direct product of God? They assume this means it's not...
The Christianizing of the Western world so annihilated the shrines and pillars (and practices) of the past age that the few relics of what was once standard fare haven't fared too well. A modern, reading Robert Briffault's, Three Mothers: A study of the Origins of Sentiments and Institutions...
It's nice that you appreciate the ideas enough to find them stimulating even if you think of them as paralleomania (which I guess in a sense they are). And you've given me the grammar to speak of a fundamental difference between some forms of Judaism, and some forms of Christianity.
Whereas...
In the commentary Chizkuni, it's noted that verse 7 of Deuteronomy 24 is a repeat of Exodus 21:16. The idea of "stealing" a life implies that the metaphor of taking the upper or lower millstone implies that someone tries to take first dibs on a bridegroom's bride, jus primae noctis, (or else...
