Chapter 23 - The Angel of His Presence

Chapter 23 - The Angel of His Presence

Coninued from Chapter 22y (Isaiah 63:7-10) Some trinitarians believe that the idea of the existence of three divine personalities active in man’s salvation was declared by the prophet Isaiah. He said: I will make mention of the mercies of Y-H-V-H, and the praises of Y-H-V-H, according to all that Y-H-V-H has bestowed on us; and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has bestowed on them according to His compassions, and according to the multitude of His mercies. For He said:

Chapter 24 - THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Continued from Chapter 23 (Jeremiah 23:5-6) In their effort to substantiate the belief in a triune deity, Christians have alleged that a prophecy given by Jeremiah supports their contention. The prophet declares: Behold, the days are coming says the Lord, that I will raise up for David a righteous branch, and he shall reign as king and prosper, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is his name by whic

Chapter 25 - A WOMAN ENCOMPASSES A MAN

Continued from Chapter 24 (Jeremiah 31:22) “A woman encompasses a man” Christians offer a tendentious interpretation of the verse: “For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: a woman encompasses a man” (Jeremiah 31:22). The noun neqevah (“woman”) does not mean virgin per se and the verse says nothing of conception, pregnancy, or birth. Neqevah is used in the Bible in reference to any woman, virgin or not (Leviticus 27:4-7; Numbers 5:3, 31:15; Deuteronomy 4:16). Any discussion that s

Chapter 26 - A NEW COVENANT WITH ISRAEL

Continued from Chapter 25 (Jeremiah 31:31-34) Jeremiah declares: Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah; not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a lord over them, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those da

Chapter 27 - DOES HOSEA 1:7 MENTION TWO DIVINE PERSONALITIES?

Continued from Chapter 26 (Hosea 1:7) Some Christians contend that two divine personalities appear in Hosea 1:7: “But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them [Israel] by Y-H-V-H their God [’Eloheihem].” The claim is made that if one should promise another that he will do a certain work by a third person, it would be quite evident that the one who promised the work is different from the one through whom he does it. Hence, the conclusion that the Lord who speaks is differe

Chapter 28 - Did Hosea Mention a Second Coming of Jesus?

Chapter 28 - Did Hosea Mention a Second Coming of Jesus?

Continued from Chapter 27 (Hosea 5:15) The prophet Hosea declares: “I will go and return to My place until they feel guilt and seek My face; in their trouble they will earnestly seek Me” (Hosea 5:15). In the course of his message of rebuke for apostasy, Hosea stresses the necessity for Ephraim and Judah to first return to God through their own conscious decision before He will grant relief from their affliction. Disregarding context, many Christians interpret Hosea 5:15 as a prophesy dealing

Who Sent The Wagons?

Who Sent The Wagons?

In the story of Yoseph’s descent to Egypt and his rise to leadership, we read that during the famine wagons full of supplies were sent to Yaacov in the land of Canaan. The issue of who sent the wagons to Yaacov is especially relevant since Yaacov says that when he “saw the wagons Joseph sent” he took it as proof that Joseph was alive. However, first it says Pharaoh sent the wagons (Genesis 45:21) then it says it was Joseph (Genesis 45:27). If it was Pharaoh, who sent the wagons how could Yaacov

Chapter 29 - CALLED OUT OF EGYPT

Chapter 29 - CALLED OUT OF EGYPT

Continued from Chapter 28 (Hosea 11:1-2) Hosea 11:1-2: When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son. The more they [the prophets] called them, the more they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baalim, and offered to graven images. As we have seen Matthew relates real or fictitious events in the life of Jesus to passages from the Bible. For example, Matthew 2:15 claims that the child Jesus was literally brought by Joseph and Mary out of Egypt to fulfill the su
