1 | future glory - different readings? | Matt 4:18 | asken | 105286 | ||
Isaiah 9:1 (NASB) Reads that God will make the land of zebulun and Naptali 'glorious'.The (NIV)reads that God will give 'Honour'. Why does the (NKJV) and I guess the KJV too not say this but only speaks of the oppression in earlier days (nothing about future glory or honour?)Why is the NASB different? | ||||||
2 | future glory - different readings? | Matt 4:18 | Ray | 105287 | ||
Hi asken, I see this as a question that requires a "counting of pronouns". I believe that both Isaiah 9:1 and Matthew 4:18 require the correct number for a true understanding. First of all, I think that it is important to note that the thing to focus on is not the land of Naphtali but rather the God who will make the land of Zebulun and Naptali glorious in the later times. The important thing is to see the light that dawned. Isaiah 9:1, "But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He/ treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naptali with contempt, but later on *He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people who walk in darkness Will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them." NASB, 1977, 1995. The NASB interpretation for Matthew 4:16 has changed from the 1977 copyright and they now capitalize the "Light". I won't comment on that right now, but I think that the thing that ties Matthew 4 with Isaiah 9:1 is the change that was made in Matthew 4:18 where the new copyright says "Now as *Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galille, He saw two brothers,..." So as we compare the two passages I believe that we can see how God later on made the land glorious, by the way of the sea, when Jesus was walking by the sea, by the sea of Galilee. We can see that this Child born to us, this Son that was given, is even the One that gives light to us. Luke 1:78, "Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the *Sunrise from on high shall visit us, To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace." From the heart, Ray |
