First, why am I taking the time to post all of these "fulfillment" prophecies and everything that will follow? I am doing all of this in answer to anyone who whould ask me "why have you chosen to reject the New Testament and its savior"?
If a person would look at everything with a magnifying glass and without their emotions I would say most if not all would say the New Testament does not align itself with what is written in the Old. In my Honors Old Testament class, my freshman year of college, my professor told all 10 of us who made that class, the whole of the Scriptures is founded upon the Torah, the first 5 books of the Old Testament. Every single doctrine can be found there. So, that being said, if there is anything that does not add up and does not align with the Torah, a: it is being taken out of context, b: our understanding is wrong and must be changed to align or I will add a third item, c: what has been written is false.
Let's review.
1. the Hebrew word is not virgin, but young maiden or woman. In this case the Hebrew is specific, it is the young woman which is here. The prophecy has a fulfillment within a certain time frame. One that is very short, not many years in the future.
2. The prophecy in Micah was changed in Matthew to try and make it fit. This is tampering with the Word of Hashem, it is changing it by taking away from it or adding to it.
3. Jeremiah 31, has nothing to do with babies being killed, this verse was ripped out of its context. The context of Jeremiah 31 has to do with the reuniting of the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel.
Now let us consider Matt 2:14, 15 and the prophecy in Hosea 11:
Mat 2:14 And rising up, he took the Child and His mother by night and departed for Mitsrayim,
Mat 2:15 and remained there until the death of Herodes, to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying, “Out of Mitsrayim I have called My Son.”1 Footnote:1Ex. 4:22-23, Hos. 11:1, Rev. 21:7
Matthew is claiming that this child born of Mary is the first born son of god. So, is this supported by the Old Testament? Is there someone else who Hashem says is His first born?
Hos 11:1 “When Yisra’ĕl was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.
Hos 11:2 “They called to them, so they went from their face. They slaughtered to the Baʽals, and burned incense to carved images.
Hos 11:3 “And I taught Ephrayim to walk, taking them by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them.
Hos 11:4 “I drew them with ropes of man, with cords of love, and I was to them as those who take the yoke from their neck. And I bent down, fed them.
Hos 11:5 “No, let him return to the land of Mitsrayim, and let Ashshur be his sovereign, because they refused to repent!
Hos 11:6 “And the sword shall whirl in his cities, and it shall demolish his gate bars, and consume, because of their own counsels.
Hos 11:7 “My people are bent towards backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He lifts none of them up.
Hos 11:8 “How could I give you up, Ephrayim? How could I hand you over, Yisra’ĕl? How could I make you like Aḏmah? How could I set you like Tseḇoyim? My heart turns within Me, all My compassion is kindled.
Hosea is referring to Ephraim, or the 10 northern tribes of Israel. Where does Hosea get his information from?
Exo 4:20 So Mosheh took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Mitsrayim. And Mosheh took the rod of Elohim in his hand.
Exo 4:21 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “As you go back to Mitsrayim, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I am going to harden his heart, so that he does not let the people go.
Exo 4:22 “And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Yisra’ĕl is My son, My first-born,
Exo 4:23 so I say to you, let My son go to serve Me. But if you refuse to let him go, see, I am killing your son, your first-born.” ’ ”
It is very clear from the Scripture, Israel is the first born son of Hashem, not a single man that the New Testament is based upon. There are also other reasons that this man cannot be the Messiah or anointed one and those reasons will come with time after I have gone through the fulfillment texts in Matt. Or if you would like to do some homework on your own. Look at the genealogies in Matt. do a comparison study. 1. there are two kings in Israel's past who the anointed one must absolutely come from. Who are they? Do the lines given in Matt and Luke follow these two men's line? Also there is one part of the line which Hashem cursed and said, anyone from these men will never sit on the throne of the kingdom. Who were they and are they in the lines mentioned in Matt and Luke. If I have wetted your appetite, don't wait on me to fill in your blanks, do the research. Until next time. Study and open your eyes to the truth. Do not let emotions dictate what you chose to believe.
