AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a child [a young nation], I loved him, And I called My son out of Egypt. [Matt 2:15] |
Bible Question: This portion of scripture seems to be clearly talking about the Israelites being led out of Egypt. So How did they know it was a messianic prophesy? (Matthew 2:15) |
Bible Answer: Hi, Stevia... Welcome to the forum! There's a solid principle of Biblical interpretation: Scripture interprets Scripture. We find this written in the first Gospel of the New Testament: This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son." (Matthew 2:15b ESV) Cool, isn't it? :-) In Him, Doc |
