In Romans 9 Paul mentions the condition of Israel (AS A NATION)
Verses 31,32- "But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone.
Romans 10:16 reads But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT?
So the Gospel was preached to them! as we see in Romans 10:16-18.
Romans 11:8 declares their position then, as well today!
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Romans 11:25-28 sums it up.
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
When Israel "as a nation" call on their Messiah and behold him as their Messiah they will call on him!
I believe this will happen in the tribulation and that is what Hosea is speaking of.
"I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, AND SEEK MY FACE: in their AFFLICTION they will seek me early.
THEY WON'T BEHOLD HIM (Remain in this blinded state) untill they shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23:39.
I may be a little slow but if you do not mind could you expand your meaning on "behold him as a nation" and how that relates to Matthew 23:39 or Hosea 5:15?
"Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;/Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:/But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it." (Nu.14:22-24). This song is not sung according to canon of music and of harp invented by Jabal.(Ge.4:21) This is heavenly music so we are shown martyrs having harps of God. In the Book of Job we have God asking him,'where wast thou "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" Job 38:7)
"And they sung a new song," (Re.5:9)
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." (Ep.5:19-21) This breaks out in spite of our earthly circumstance because the Spirit within us keep the beat with what goes on in the kingdom of God. This speaks of the volume a man blessed of God has.
"And (Thou) hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth./And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne."(Re.5:11-13)
"The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him."(v.2)
Who taught Moses this song which is compared to the Song of the Lamb? "And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb." They are martyrs "that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."(Re.15:2) This is a new song which is associated with the first fruits in the previous chapter. "and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:/And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth." (14:2) They sang it as it were a new song which would have been sung earlier and the usage 'as it were' refers to the song of salvation of which we have the song of Moses for an example.
The children of Israel also sings with Moses so the song was composed in heaven and the day decreed for the Son has passed as part of the repertoire of the blessed in the Man. No man could have sung it but in whom God breathed and created man as living soul. The conclusion is clear: soul is where it is embedded. So when the Psalmist says, "Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts." (Ps.119:54-56). Only those who have kept the word and are led by the Spirit of God can be counted among the 144,000. 12x12x1000 are not merely a number but the habitation of God. Moses who is setting out to the Promised Land makes it clear," I will prepare him an habitation." None of those who set out with him hover will not make it save two. They had another spirit. (Nu.14:22-24)
Asking for extra strong protection, intervention and breakthrough as well as for much much love, joy, peace, strength, wisdom, guidance, discernment, to live lives pleasing to the Lord, to walk in His authority and power and to do exploits for Him. Asking for us and all in need. Also asking for the Lord to bless, protect and guide our prayer meeting and for His powerful presence. Thank you.
In Hebrew its, "Hear, O Israel: yehovah our (Elohim) is one yehovah:
The use of the word "one" in this verse is commonly interpreted to mean that there is only "one" God.
However, from a Hebraic perspective, the Hebrew word (ehhad, Strong's #259) can mean a "unit" within a unity. This verse is stating that YHWH is in unity with himself.
A good example of this is the pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. A cloud and fire are opposites-one provides coolness and shade and the other heat and light. Yet, they work together to preserve the people during the day and the night.
Deuteronomy 6:4 connects Yehovah and Elohim.
Plurality existing in singularly. Just as LORD of hosts.
Yehovah is a covenant name.
Elohim is a Plural name.
Did you know in Genesis during the creation the name "Yehovah Elohim" is used all the way through the creation until you come to perhaps ch 4.
Thanks, brother the study of the feasts is an eye-opening study, Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks/Pentecost, that have been fulfilled and there are three that have yet to be fulfilled, Feast of the Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and Tabernacles.
Passover, Jesus fulfilled it down to the day, and to the hour. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the 10th of Nisan the same day the lambs were to be taken up (moneychangers). Jesus was crucified on the morning of the 14th of Nisan and died at the same time the Passover lambs were being sacrificed and put in the tomb before the sunset. There is other things Jesus fulfilled that Passover day, the Tamid sacrifice, the beginning and the end or you could say the first and the last of the daily sacrifices and worship.
Jesus and his apostles after the Last Supper went into the garden of Gethsemane and there Jesus was taken to Annas and then Caiaphas, then early that morning to Pilate to be judged where no fault was found in Him. At the same time this was going on, the priest tied the first Tamid lamb to the altar and inspected it to make sure there were no blemishes.
Jesus was nailed to the cross at the third hour, 9 AM same time the first Tamid lamb was sacrificed and placed on the altar, this started the first hour of prayer. The sixth hour, the last Tamid lamb was tied to the alter and darkness fell over the land until the ninth hour the second hour of prayer, the last Tamid lamb was sacrificed at 3 PM and placed on top of all the sacrifices the people did for sins that day, at the same time Jesus cried out and gave up the ghost.
Jesus, the first and the last was the perfect and final sacrifice, like the first Passover freed Israel from the captivity of Egypt Jesus freed us of the captivity of sin and with His blood covered our sins that the Tamid lambs could not do, Hebrews 10:4-12.
There is much more in these feasts to see, thanks for pointing them out.
I removed my previous post because I wanted to emphasize the name "LORD of hosts" and what it meant.
It comprises the Trinity which I believe to be true.
However,
other portions of the posts I believe I should have completed the study before I revealed it, or proofread before I posted it right before bed time.
There was a lot left out that I should have included, for instance, When John quoted Isaiah 53:1 "who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
We should ask ourselves what was reported that they were blind to.
Then I would list
Isaiah 9:6 along with Isaiah 53:1-12.
John 12:32-33 Jesus states If I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
This he said, signifying what death he should die.
In John 12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? WHO IS THIS SON OF MAN?
The should have known about coming and purpose by the fulfillment of many OT scripture.
4Whatsoever is born of GOD overcometh the world:and this is the victory that overcometh the world,even our faith.
5Who is he that overcometh the world,but he that believeth that JESUS is the Son of GOD?
6JESUS is He that came by water and blood,even JESUS Christ;not by water only,but by water(John7:38-39;8:51and11:26),
and blood-understand?( Philippians 2:7-11).
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,because the Spirit is Truth.
GOD,the Word,is Spirit- John 6:63.The Word is GOD,GOD Himself,self-executing,understand?
7There are three that testify in heaven(heaven? Ephesians 1:3-8),the Father-GOD the Father-,the Word-the Word made flesh-JESUS-,and the Holy Spirit(who is not a ghost as is written in English language,but a person-the Paraclete,the Comfort):and these three are One.
18We-the TRUE believers-know that whosoever is born of GOD sinneth not;but he that is begotten of GOD keepeth himself,and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19And we know that we are of GOD-understand?-,and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20And we know that the Son of GOD is come,and hath given us an understanding,that we may know Him that is true,and we are in Him that is true,even in His Son Jesus Christ.This is the true GOD,and eternal life.
Hebrews 1:1-3
1GOD,who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son,whom He hath appointed heir of all things,by whom also He made the worlds;
3Who being the brightness of His glory,and the EXPRESS IMAGE(WORD MADE FLESH)of the Person of GOD,and upholding all things by the Word of His power,when He had by Himself purged our sins,sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Revelation 11:15-18 &1Corinthians15:24-27
15...The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,and of his Christ;and He shall reign for ever and ever.
18And the NATIONS will be angry, and GOD's WRATH is come...
Pray for me and my family, I am 71 and wasted a lot of my life without following the Lord's ways, but I raised my children in Church faithfully every Sunday but just as soon as they are grown they depart from Church and God's way. My daughter has left her first husband and 2 children, re-married had another child, divorced again but kept the child, she a drug problem but denies it, doesn't believe in the bible, my son is doesn't attend church anymore except on my request for special occasions, he is disrepectful to me, but has a heart of gold to others. He gets prescribed medical canabis but abuses it. I'm trying hard to walk in God's ways now but I know i've set a poor example for my children in life. I've remarried my 2nd wife again, she's a rehabilitated former heavy drug abuser (the reason for our divorce) but claims to believe in God but will not attend church with me. She is a good person at heart, will help anyone but I see her bad side on occasions and Satan is present then. Please pray for her and my children to find faith in the Lord again.
Hi Jesse , you mention what the Jews think about Jesus's second coming , but they don't believe in his first time on earth do they ? They don't believe that Jesus was / is the Messiah the first time around so.....how can they have ideas about his second advent ?
Baca is used in the context of life as a journey. It is used to signify life is not a single line from birth to death but made up several sensations as sense of your smell catches several sensations, invisible and as yet made real and it triggers many memories buried over passage of time. Jacob at a certain place makes bed and sleeps."And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, "And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." (Ge.28:16-17). Life of Jacob did not stop for him because he slept; instead it had fulness that is what dream signifies. A rational man who shuts out what he cannot understand is an unmitigated fool. What is blessedness of a believer? Because a politician promises a chicken in every pot, who but a fool shall trust his word. But God did not spare his Son and it was for our sakes. "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"(Ro.8:32). The Holy Spirit in the key passage declares,"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them." This resonates in the Book of Isaiah, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Is.26:3) How do Isaiah and the Psalmist agree but because truth is revealed to both by God. This is how the Word of God is sound as well as a sign. Hermeneutics is on the basis of "the like begets like."
The valley of Baca may be a literal place near Jerusalem so there may be a literal association for the pilgrims moving to Jerusalem. Be that as it may, this passing through the valley is a kangaroo event for the blessed. As pilgrims and sojourners we are set in context of Zion. "They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God."(v.7) Hermeneutics is to explain the specific in terms of eternity.
Jesus in the key text refers himself to a green tree. We know it is true since he has the dew of youth. The Spirit has laid how we should explain the greenness of the tree on the basis of what the word of God refers to the subject and must conform to the dictum that all things consist of Jesus Christ. Similitude is on the principle ' the like begets like'. In the context of the fruit tree "whose seed was in itself, after his kind" what do we mean by 'after his kind' ? Comparison is in terms of similar quality. Consider this Psalm quote, "In the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth"(Ps.110:3). the greenness of the tree refers to his beauty of holiness and not about physical beauty. This is how hermeneutics according to the wisdom of heaven works. Instead Bible Scholars give a different slant. Jesus Christ is the key and not literal meaning from passage that follow or that went before. Carnal wisdom of the Pharisees accused Jesus, "But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."(Matt.12:24) This is same as Baptist church in the US would splinter into North and south. One would want to whitewash slavery. What is carnal wisdom? James says, "but is earthly, sensual, devilish./ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." Using Noah's curse on Canaan to justify slavery is to say the least is devilish. (Jas.3:15-16)
"For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
Here we have a saying of Jesus in which he is comparing himself to a green tree. How can a tree be compared to man but God has established the principle of Similitude towards our spiritual instruction. Like the slain Lamb motif existing in the will of the Father we have a similar motif in the tree. It figures in the cov(Col.1:16-17)enant between God and Man marked day Three.
Ge.1:11-12 "And the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good" is about the Son. God also endorses it as good. So whatever is good is intended towards the blessings man may receive of God. The Spirit of God associate all things for the Man who was before all things. In short the covenant establishes blessings to man through Jesus Christ. "all things were created by him, and for him:/ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."(Col.1:16-17). Principle of Similitude sets heaven and the earth, lower parts included, on a single standard namely Jesus Christ. Thus Lamb of God refers to him. So does the tree of life.
This principle has another aspect: God created man after our image and it refers his body, soul and spirit. Man also is created 'after our likeness' so man cannot be seen without his world as Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. His stewardship over other lifeforms in the covenant applies to him. Brevity of his glory is compared to grass. By the same token James asks "For what is your life? It is even a vapour,"(Jas.4:14) Thus volume of man blessed of God carries the fulness of Christ. The indwelling Spirit is a proof of it.
Isaiah inspired of God refers to Jesus Christ as a tender plant. "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground" (Is.53:2). Jesus in the key text refers himself to a green tree. We know it is true since he has the dew of youth.

In Romans 9 Paul mentions the condition of Israel (AS A NATION)
Verses 31,32- "But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone.
Romans 10:16 reads But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT?
So the Gospel was preached to them! as we see in Romans 10:16-18.
Romans 11:8 declares their position then, as well today!
(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Romans 11:25-28 sums it up.
"For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
When Israel "as a nation" call on their Messiah and behold him as their Messiah they will call on him!
I believe this will happen in the tribulation and that is what Hosea is speaking of.
"I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, AND SEEK MY FACE: in their AFFLICTION they will seek me early.
THEY WON'T BEHOLD HIM (Remain in this blinded state) untill they shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Matthew 23:39.
God bless
I may be a little slow but if you do not mind could you expand your meaning on "behold him as a nation" and how that relates to Matthew 23:39 or Hosea 5:15?
God bless,

"Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;/Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:/But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it." (Nu.14:22-24). This song is not sung according to canon of music and of harp invented by Jabal.(Ge.4:21) This is heavenly music so we are shown martyrs having harps of God. In the Book of Job we have God asking him,'where wast thou "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" Job 38:7)
"And they sung a new song," (Re.5:9)
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God." (Ep.5:19-21) This breaks out in spite of our earthly circumstance because the Spirit within us keep the beat with what goes on in the kingdom of God. This speaks of the volume a man blessed of God has.
"And (Thou) hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth./And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne."(Re.5:11-13)
"The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him."(v.2)
Who taught Moses this song which is compared to the Song of the Lamb? "And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb." They are martyrs "that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."(Re.15:2) This is a new song which is associated with the first fruits in the previous chapter. "and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:/And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth." (14:2) They sang it as it were a new song which would have been sung earlier and the usage 'as it were' refers to the song of salvation of which we have the song of Moses for an example.
The children of Israel also sings with Moses so the song was composed in heaven and the day decreed for the Son has passed as part of the repertoire of the blessed in the Man. No man could have sung it but in whom God breathed and created man as living soul. The conclusion is clear: soul is where it is embedded. So when the Psalmist says, "Thy statutes have been my songs In the house of my pilgrimage. I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. This I had, because I kept thy precepts." (Ps.119:54-56). Only those who have kept the word and are led by the Spirit of God can be counted among the 144,000. 12x12x1000 are not merely a number but the habitation of God. Moses who is setting out to the Promised Land makes it clear," I will prepare him an habitation." None of those who set out with him hover will not make it save two. They had another spirit. (Nu.14:22-24)
That is fascinating.
In Matthew 23:39 Jesus states, "For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, (Meaning behold him as a nation)
till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
I wonder how do they view such verses as Matthew 23:39 and Hosea 5:15
"I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
God bless.
Deuteronomy 6:4
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
In Hebrew its, "Hear, O Israel: yehovah our (Elohim) is one yehovah:
The use of the word "one" in this verse is commonly interpreted to mean that there is only "one" God.
However, from a Hebraic perspective, the Hebrew word (ehhad, Strong's #259) can mean a "unit" within a unity. This verse is stating that YHWH is in unity with himself.
A good example of this is the pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. A cloud and fire are opposites-one provides coolness and shade and the other heat and light. Yet, they work together to preserve the people during the day and the night.
Deuteronomy 6:4 connects Yehovah and Elohim.

In John 12:34 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? WHO IS THIS SON OF MAN?
The should have known about coming and purpose by the fulfillment of many OT scripture.
4Whatsoever is born of GOD overcometh the world:and this is the victory that overcometh the world,even our faith.
5Who is he that overcometh the world,but he that believeth that JESUS is the Son of GOD?
6JESUS is He that came by water and blood,even JESUS Christ;not by water only,but by water(John7:38-39;8:51and11:26),
and blood-understand?( Philippians 2:7-11).
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,because the Spirit is Truth.
GOD,the Word,is Spirit- John 6:63.The Word is GOD,GOD Himself,self-executing,understand?
7There are three that testify in heaven(heaven? Ephesians 1:3-8),the Father-GOD the Father-,the Word-the Word made flesh-JESUS-,and the Holy Spirit(who is not a ghost as is written in English language,but a person-the Paraclete,the Comfort):and these three are One.
18We-the TRUE believers-know that whosoever is born of GOD sinneth not;but he that is begotten of GOD keepeth himself,and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19And we know that we are of GOD-understand?-,and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20And we know that the Son of GOD is come,and hath given us an understanding,that we may know Him that is true,and we are in Him that is true,even in His Son Jesus Christ.This is the true GOD,and eternal life.
Hebrews 1:1-3
1GOD,who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son,whom He hath appointed heir of all things,by whom also He made the worlds;
3Who being the brightness of His glory,and the EXPRESS IMAGE(WORD MADE FLESH)of the Person of GOD,and upholding all things by the Word of His power,when He had by Himself purged our sins,sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
Revelation 11:15-18 &1Corinthians15:24-27
15...The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord,and of his Christ;and He shall reign for ever and ever.
18And the NATIONS will be angry, and GOD's WRATH is come...
Be careful and Get ready
Trust and obey...for there's no other way
When "Lord" occurs in the Old Testament, referring to God, it is usually a rendering of "Adonai," a name/title of God that emphasizes His lordship.
In Isaiah 6:3 YEHOVAH is used, "The Jewish national name of God" The self Existent or eternal;
When Isaiah stated LORD of hosts he didn't use Adonai as to emphasis Lord ship over the hosts (Plural)
He emphasizes plurality in singleness!!
Notice how he combines the two into one in the next phrase. ( the whole earth is full of "HIS" glory)
This is who John ascribes to Jesus in John 12.
God bless.
Baca valley is mentioned only once as in v.6
Baca is used in the context of life as a journey. It is used to signify life is not a single line from birth to death but made up several sensations as sense of your smell catches several sensations, invisible and as yet made real and it triggers many memories buried over passage of time. Jacob at a certain place makes bed and sleeps."And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, "And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." (Ge.28:16-17). Life of Jacob did not stop for him because he slept; instead it had fulness that is what dream signifies. A rational man who shuts out what he cannot understand is an unmitigated fool. What is blessedness of a believer? Because a politician promises a chicken in every pot, who but a fool shall trust his word. But God did not spare his Son and it was for our sakes. "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"(Ro.8:32). The Holy Spirit in the key passage declares,"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them." This resonates in the Book of Isaiah, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." (Is.26:3) How do Isaiah and the Psalmist agree but because truth is revealed to both by God. This is how the Word of God is sound as well as a sign. Hermeneutics is on the basis of "the like begets like."
The valley of Baca may be a literal place near Jerusalem so there may be a literal association for the pilgrims moving to Jerusalem. Be that as it may, this passing through the valley is a kangaroo event for the blessed. As pilgrims and sojourners we are set in context of Zion. "They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God."(v.7) Hermeneutics is to explain the specific in terms of eternity.
Jesus in the key text refers himself to a green tree. We know it is true since he has the dew of youth. The Spirit has laid how we should explain the greenness of the tree on the basis of what the word of God refers to the subject and must conform to the dictum that all things consist of Jesus Christ. Similitude is on the principle ' the like begets like'. In the context of the fruit tree "whose seed was in itself, after his kind" what do we mean by 'after his kind' ? Comparison is in terms of similar quality. Consider this Psalm quote, "In the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth"(Ps.110:3). the greenness of the tree refers to his beauty of holiness and not about physical beauty. This is how hermeneutics according to the wisdom of heaven works. Instead Bible Scholars give a different slant. Jesus Christ is the key and not literal meaning from passage that follow or that went before. Carnal wisdom of the Pharisees accused Jesus, "But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."(Matt.12:24) This is same as Baptist church in the US would splinter into North and south. One would want to whitewash slavery. What is carnal wisdom? James says, "but is earthly, sensual, devilish./ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." Using Noah's curse on Canaan to justify slavery is to say the least is devilish. (Jas.3:15-16)
"For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?"
Here we have a saying of Jesus in which he is comparing himself to a green tree. How can a tree be compared to man but God has established the principle of Similitude towards our spiritual instruction. Like the slain Lamb motif existing in the will of the Father we have a similar motif in the tree. It figures in the cov(Col.1:16-17)enant between God and Man marked day Three.
Ge.1:11-12 "And the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good" is about the Son. God also endorses it as good. So whatever is good is intended towards the blessings man may receive of God. The Spirit of God associate all things for the Man who was before all things. In short the covenant establishes blessings to man through Jesus Christ. "all things were created by him, and for him:/ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."(Col.1:16-17). Principle of Similitude sets heaven and the earth, lower parts included, on a single standard namely Jesus Christ. Thus Lamb of God refers to him. So does the tree of life.
This principle has another aspect: God created man after our image and it refers his body, soul and spirit. Man also is created 'after our likeness' so man cannot be seen without his world as Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. His stewardship over other lifeforms in the covenant applies to him. Brevity of his glory is compared to grass. By the same token James asks "For what is your life? It is even a vapour,"(Jas.4:14) Thus volume of man blessed of God carries the fulness of Christ. The indwelling Spirit is a proof of it.
Isaiah inspired of God refers to Jesus Christ as a tender plant. "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground" (Is.53:2). Jesus in the key text refers himself to a green tree. We know it is true since he has the dew of youth.
