1 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | Ray | 109038 | ||
Hi prayon, Your version of the Bible is probably the King James, so you will have to interpret for yourself who the "me" is. I agree with the NKJ and the NASB in their "Me". John the baptist was preparing the way of the Lord. So, should we not indeed be looking for the Messenger, the Prophet who was to come? I agree with the NKJ for Malachi 3:1, "Behold, I send My messenger, And he will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, Will suddenly come to His temple, Even the Messenger of the covenant, In whom you delight. Behold, He is coming, " Says the Lord of hosts." 1) I would go even further in the choice of Deity and upper case for the pronoun for "he" in italics, Matthew 11:10. "For it is He of whom it is [Or, Lit. has been] written: 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.'" From the heart, Ray |

2 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | prayon | 109146 | ||
Hi Ray, I am not sure. My NKJ has it in italics which to me would mean the same as Me. However, when you read it it does not make sense to put the name of Jesus in there. The only name that would fit in there is John the Baptist, but why would 'he' be italisized if it were John? prayon | ||||||
3 | Send My messenger before Your face | 2 Tim 2:15 | Ray | 109179 | ||
Hi prayon, We are talking of Matthew 11:10 here. "For this is [he, He] of whom it is [Or, Lit. has been] written:..." I agree that from what we have discussed so far, that the name of Jesus doesn't necessarily fit in there. But now, let's look at the second part of my question. Are we looking for a prophet or the Prophet? Personally, I believe that we should be looking for the Prophet. That is what Jesus is saying in chapter 11: that He is the Coming One. That the people weren't out in the wilderness to see a reed shaken by the wind, but rather were looking for the coming Messiah, the Prophet. Matthew 11:9, But why did you go out? To see a *Prophet? Yes, I say to you, and *One who is more than a *Prophet. So, that is my personal interpretation, using capitalization of pronouns, for the verse. Then one can continue with verse 10, "This is the *One about whom it has been written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You." Would that make more sense to you? From the heart, Ray |
