King David is not the promised Messiah to come.
Ezekiel 37:24-25 (Tanakh): This passage speaks of a future Davidic king, but it also implies that this figure will be different from the historical David. It states, "My servant David shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd...
The discomfort Exodus 34:6-7 creates for Jewish exegetes can be measured by the fact that there are at least two separate interpretive hapaxes in one verse: verse 7 of Exodus 34. And the nature of the two hapaxes are extremely telling since the words "branch" נצר, and "lifted up" נשא must be...
You're onto one of the most important and unknown secrets in the scripture, a secret that might secrete into the fundamentals of this thread if it reaches its mark.
In the same location you spied the PDF you refer to, there are eleven essays on Nehushtan. Nehushtan is not only the same rod...
The information above was composed in the thread on Exodus 34:7. But it stands alone and can be lifted up as a remarkable example of what's often hidden just beneath the surface of prophetic utterance throughout the Tanakh. In Zechariah6:12, the prophet not only says that the future Messiah...
And speak to him, saying: Thus has the God of the hosts of creation said: Behold, a man, Tzemach (a shoot, a growth) is his name, and from his place he will shoot up [tzemach], and will build the Temple of God.
Zechariah6:12 (Rabbi Mendel Hirsch translation and interpretation. Bracket added to...
נצר חסד ל אלפים (Nazar hesed alapim) ----Translated literally, the first three words of Exodus 34:7 say, "Branch of mercy for thousands." The image induced from the literal reading is the reason the next word ---נשא nasa--- is translated different than it is anywhere else in the Tanakh. With the...
Throughout Isaiah, messiah is associated with, and referred to as, a branch נצר (nazar). In Isaiah 11:1, and 60:21, the Hebrew consonants nun-tsaddi-reish נצר (associated with the city of Nazareth), are used to speak directly concerning messiah. In Isaiah 53:2, this messianic-branch is said to...
In his examination of the statement above, Rabbi Hirsch continues:
Perhaps this is the reason for the large נ in the word "נצר": Scripture wants to call our attention precisely to this way of God's governance. . . . From the root נצר we get נֵצֶר, the bud which encloses and protects the flower...
OMG! Your name is John, I was earlier quoting from a book about John Kennedy going into the belly of the fish that swallowed Jonah after dying of a fatal head wound, and getting 666 votes at a democratic convention, the beast has a fatal head wound and rises from the dead in revelation, coming...
@rosends that got you as to who will build the temple...... Zechariah6:12 "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:"
well that just killed...
Zechariah6:12 "And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:"
is that clear and authoritative enough and needs nointerpreting..... :D YIKES!.
now...
The entire nation will be priests in the end of days:
Exodus 19:5-6
Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own treasure among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are...
(smile)... ok.
The enduring law... it was added. Galatians 3:19 "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator." Abraham got the promise of Life by "FAITH"...
yes, because each day is a different DAY. something happen on DAY one that didn't happen on DAY 2. so on and so on. so, DAY singular is correct.
remember, DAY here is NOT, I repeat, is NOT the same as days in a solar 24 hr. day as stated on DAY four. no. thousand or even millions of solar years...
I agree, except, I am thinking it's all on 1 day, day 6. The problem I see in the above is "day" is singular.
"in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens," Made is the keyword for me.
When was it made? The creation process started in Gen 1:1. And everything was finished...
The secret of the yod ---Ye-sod י–סוד----is the secret of circumcision (the yod being the mark of circumcision). Isaiah 11:1 follows up the cutting down of the Lebanon, the temple, with a parallel cutting down of the male-member of Jesse:
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of...
I'm following all the way through to here. :)
The brit-milah connection is still beyond me. Maybe I'll get it eventually.
But more importantly, the sequencing is messing with me. Maybe it's simple to resolve?
If Isaiah 10 leading to 11 is a prophecy about the destruction of the temple...
The context going into Isaiah 11:1 says that the Lord is going to cut down the haughty and they shall be humbled. He (the Lord) shall cut down the thickets of the forest (the nation of Israel) with iron, and the Lebanon shall fall by a might one. The "Lebanon" speaks of the temple (Yoma 39b)...
