1 | How did they know it was a prophesy? | Hos 11:1 | Stevia | 167472 | ||
This portion of scripture seems to be clearly talking about the Israelites being led out of Egypt. So How did they know it was a messianic prophesy? (Matthew 2:15) | ||||||
2 | How did they know it was a prophesy? | Hos 11:1 | DocTrinsograce | 167476 | ||
Hi, Stevia... Welcome to the forum! There's a solid principle of Biblical interpretation: Scripture interprets Scripture. We find this written in the first Gospel of the New Testament: This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son." (Matthew 2:15b ESV) Cool, isn't it? :-) In Him, Doc |

3 | How did MATTHEW know it was a prophesy? | Hos 11:1 | Stevia | 167532 | ||
Thanks Doc, What I'm wondering, though is more how MATTHEW knew that it was a messianic prophesy. Seems he could've just been trying to "fit" Jesus to a scripture and declare that it was a prophesy. Do we have any knowledge that this was a known messianic prophesy before Matthew said it was? | ||||||
