1 | "Who is the one?" | Matt 11:10 | Ray | 17596 | ||
The Greek as printed here for Matthew 11:10 does not point out the pronouns of Deity. My question is, "Who is the one about whom it is written,..." | ||||||
2 | "Who is the one?" | Matt 11:10 | Epaga | 17599 | ||
John the Baptist. | ||||||
3 | "Who is the one?" | Matt 11:10 | Ray | 17608 | ||
Hi Epaga, Welcome to the forum. I notice that the Scripture above now has it in print as is in the NASB l995 copyright. That makes it somewhat easier for us. Thank you for your answer and it is the expected one. Would you go to the passage in Malachi 3:1 which is a reference in my study bible for Matt ll:10. Would you see if there is a possible second answer? Let me print it out for everyone to see. Malachi 3:l, "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the Lord of hosts." Do you see two messengers here? |

Greetings Ray! I agree that Mal. 3:1 mentions two messengers. However, in Mt. 11, Jesus only quotes the first part relating to the messenger who would precede Him and He clearly identifies that messenger as being John the Baptist. In your other post, you mentioned a "pronoun of Deity". What is a pronoun of Deity? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, I appreciate your interest here. I think that in Malachi we can find the sense of the fact that John the baptist is Elijah the prophet. He is the messenger of Malachi 3:1 and Malachi 4:5,6 and Luke 1:16,17 Malachi 3:1, "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he* will clear the way before Me." Here we see the one*; John the baptist in the spirit of Elijah. Continuing Mal 3:1, "And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold He* is coming, says the Lord of hosts." Here we see the messenger of the covenant. The marginal note for my NASB study bible has "even" as a possible translation for "and" the messenger. The NKJ has it, "...Even the Messenger* of the covenant, In whom you delight." This "even the messenger" is what I have been leading up to in order to introduce the possibility of the quote talking about the Messenger here in Matthew 11:10. Think about it awhile and let me know what you think about that. You asked what a pronoun of Deity is in my mind. This word "messenger" is one. "Mediator" is another when we think of the mediator of a new covenant. These are words that speak of Deity but are not necessarily capitalized. The list goes on: light or Light, rock or Rock, spirit or Spirit, bread or Bread, Way, Truth, and Life or not, one or One, etc. You know me well enough that you know that I have to capitalize pronouns of Deity and rely on translations that do that. Malachi is an excellent book to see how capitalization glorifies God and gives Him the respect that He is due. It can be translated the same but the interpretation can be quite different; NKJ,"A son honors his father, And a servant his master. If then I am the Father, Where is My honor? And if I am a Master, where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts To you priests who despise My name." Compare NASB and NKJ for Malachi 1:6, 2:10, and 3:1. But I want to get back with you about just who is the Expected One. Later, Ray |
