Hi Enoch! this was very insightful, especially two portions, one about the Trinity, and which I’m going to look up and the other about things that only Jesus could do separate from say the other prophets. According to scripture, there are legends of the Jews that point to him being the messiah one of them is a legend about how Solomon sent someone to get money out of a fishes' mouth.. it’s very similar to what Jesus did, which made me think it was a reference to Solomon on Jesus part to say, I am God's son and that makes me royalty and I’m very wealthy
hi Michael, I appreciate all your awesome videos. They are so helpful. I also watched the one about international house of prayer. Very sad. I’m a big fan of IHOP and I’ve been there many many times but my question is not about IHOP. My question is about MIDRASH.. I went to a midrash for many years at a messianic congregation and it wasn’t storytelling, but it was called midrash. they explained that it was more an in the sense that we were discovering scripture not just reading it and regurgitating it.. Instead, I kind of thought of it as an expanding of scripture, because each person had questions, and we all learned from their questions. But they always told us that MIDRASH meant investigation. What would you call that very unique Bible/Torah study with there’s a lot of open ended questions a lot of extra books, sitting around a large classroom type setting, doing a lot of cross referencing and many aha moments. I’ve never ever ever been in a Bible study that was like this a lot of Hebrew roots stuff was brought in, and things became very clear for me 😃
The messiah's name was always going to be Jesus according to Zechariah Chapter 6... which is the same name as the post exile high priest ,Yeshua! if the concept of Messiah and God are separate then it doesn't automatically follow that sins can be forgiven.. only God can forgive sins. furthermore if the expectation of Messiah is to reverse the events of Genesis 3 Genesis 6 and Genesis 11 then by Definition messiah has to be more than just a man. Jesus being born of Mary but not of Joseph is not a problem according to Jewish history because I believe during the reign of Queen Alexandra Jewish law made Heritage pass on, by matrilineal Bases. A basis for the Trinity can be established in the Old Testament by passages like Amos 4:11Isaiah 48:16.. and Judges chapter 2:1 and Daniel 7:9-14 Support for the idea of God becoming man in Scripture are Deuteronomy 18 verses 15 to 18 Focus of the verse speaks of the coming Messiah coming from lineage of Israel like unto moses. We also have Exodus chapter 23 verse 20 and 21 the context of which is speaking about the future Endeavor of going over Jordan then we come to Joshua chapter 5 verses 13 to 15 and the context of this passage is having just gone over the Jordan into Israel. Another proof of this idea perhaps most glaringly Jeremiah chapter 1 verses 4-10... the first thing you want to pay attention to is titles in verse 4 and verse 9... Hashem and the word of the Lord these titles are used interchangeably there's some definite implication there but the point of emphasis here is verse 9 because it goes a little further than just anthropomorphic language. Now the next concern is did Jesus ever claim to be God? And for this the scriptures I would provide are Matthew 26:64 Jesus directly quotes Daniel 7:13 John 10:34 Jesus claims to be the judge in Psalm 82 referencing verse 6 In John 10 versus Both 11 and 14 Jesus Yeshua says that he is the Good Shepherd and you can cross-reference this with the very first line of Psalm 23. In Mark chapter 6 starting from verse 45 Jesus walks on the water this is something designated in the Old Testament for something only God (job 9:8) can do this separates Jesus from the other people who did miracles. Where another claim would be is in the fact that Jesus forgives sins, off the top of my head is Mark chapter 2 now certainly there have always been Messianic claimants but none of them have ever claimed to forgive sins. Now the question becomes why would Jesus so secretive why didn't he just come out and say that he was the Lord God of Israel?... well one scripture off the top of my head of that I would provide here that might be interesting is this Matthew 16:20 "then he commanded his disciples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ"... my suggestion to you here, would be that the crucifixion how to take place at a certain place at a certain time and under a specific set of circumstances. Please Look into all the scriptures I made mention here I hope this helps even one person Hashem bless everyone of you... in the name of Jesus both son and God of David king of Israel, amen..!
Awesome; thank you! Shabbat Shalom!!
Midrash and Targums are indeed an important part of the reception history of the Hebrew Bible. Thanks for sharing this.
