Hello chesed, As Hank stated, what you purport is quite controversial. If at any time, you would like to communicate about it privately, you can e-mail me at srbricker@hotmail.com. And any of those wanting to jump into a private communication are welcome. :-) And yes, you can disagree. I have two difficulties with calling these simply typological interpretation: 1) Several of the OT passages attributed to Christ were clearly Messianic and the people acted accordingly. For instance: Matthew 21:6-9 (ESV) The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. [7] They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. [8] Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. [9] And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" The crowd understood the symbolism of Jesus' actions. The prophet had declared that the future king would ride into town on a donkey, and the crowd acknowledged this as fulfillment. 2) There were those who didn't even believe on him who knew how the prophesies were to be fulfilled: Matthew 2:3-6 (ESV) When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [4] and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. [5] They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: [6] " 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'" Your statement: "Plus, Jesus was a 1st century Jew- that was a common hermenuetical method." I'm not sure of your meaning here. Lastly, my question to you would be: Must a prophecy give the name of a person before it can rightly be applied to him/her? Steve |
