Subject: prodigal son person or Israel |
Bible Note: Thank for your come back: But here it is in a nut shell. [1] Jesus came to earth as a king Jn 18:36-37 Born a King Mt 2:2 died a King Mt 27:37 Come back a King Rev 17:14 [2] Israel is God first born His son Ex 4:22 [3] Jesus had nothing to do with the Gentiles Mt 15:26, Mk 7:27; Mt 7:6; 10:5; Jn 1:11 In Mt 10:6 Jesus said "But" go rather to the house of Israel Lost sheep Isa 53:6,Jer50:6,17 In Mt 15:24 He answered and said " I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel 1 Pet 2:25 [4] When Jesus was here He only was within the law Which puts the Prodical son Israel and the older son is clearly a picture of the Pharisees in thier self-righteousness [5] The younger son shows God's unfailing love for Israel. [6] His Glory to the son is when he [Israel] comes back t the father. Remember in Ezek 37 the dry bones that came to life. That is the regathering of the Jews to go back to there home land. And they are doing just that by the thousands Isa 11:11; Dt 30:3-5 This has to be a nation not a person in this parable. |
