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 9 - THE SCEPTER AND THE STAFF

Continued from Chapter 8 (Genesis 49:10) Christians attempt to demonstrate that the Messiah had to come prior to the end of Jewish sovereignty in 70 C.E. by citing Genesis 49:10: “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to him shall be the obedience of peoples.” Shiloh is identified with the Messiah according to the traditional commentaries of both Judaism and Christianity. Some Christians understand the text to mean that J
