1 | "Messiah" a reference to Deity? | John 1:41 | Hank | 10089 | ||
Yes, Nolan, Messiah is more than a reference to Deity. The Messiah, Jesus Christ, is Deity, being the second person of the Trinity. Messiah (the Greek is Christ) in Hebrew means the Anointed One. It means the expected king and deliverer of the Hebrews. The first promise of the Messiah, although not using that name, is that to Eve in Genesis 3:15. The same promise was, in varying phraseology, repeated to many individuals throughout the ages, notably to Abraham and David..... What a superb and joyful moment it must have been for Andrew when he told his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah." Since that day untold numbers of people have been filled with joy when they too found Christ. --Hank | ||||||
2 | "Messiah" a reference to Deity? | John 1:41 | Searcher56 | 10131 | ||
Hank, you are right. There were many who were annointed ones. Most Jews are still looking for the Annointed One promised (Dan 9:25-26). However, being the Messiah is about His humanity. I do not think the false ones claimed to be God. If He did not become man, He could not of fulfilled this prophecy, nor the one (Isa 61:1-2) He claimed (Luk 4:16-21). Psalm 2 is about His future, when the kings of the world come against Him. I think the passage in Daniel is too. He did not come as the Conquering One of the physical world. Peter linked Jesus as the Annointed One with Him as Diety, by calling Him the Son of God (Mat 16:16). Steve |
