NASB | Hosea 11:1 When Israel was a youth I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son. |
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: All Scripture is given by the inspiration of God, therefore Matthew wrote down what the Holy Spirit told him to write. This also shows that Bible verses can have more than one application, but remember that it is the Holy Spirit who gives the interpretation to the reader/listener. |
