Hello all, and welcome to my new blog! In this blog, I will mainly be covering some of the most amazing points about the Bible, so enjoy!
In Zechariah 12:10, there is a passage that predicts the crucifixion of Jesus:
"And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son...."
This passage is notable because of the fact that it contains an allusion to the crucified Messiah. It gets even better when you look at the Hebrew text.
When one examines this passage in the Hebrew text, it appears that there are two untranslated characters between the "me" and the "whom" These characters are the aleph and the tau, or the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, respectively.
This may make more sense when one considers the fact that the alpeh and the tau are the equivalents of the Greek letters alpha and omega.
When one inserts these characters into the passage, it looks like this:
"...and they shall look upon me, the Alpha and the Omega, whom they have pierced..."
Wow!
This is a direct reference to Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, 400 years before his name was used in scripture!
Our God is great, isn't he?
Great looking blog!
ReplyDeleteYou are quite the deep thinker and theologian; unfortunately, I can't say you get either of those traits from your Aunt Becky. From me you got good looks, charm, a great personality and musical genius. :-)
Keep up the good work; proud of you!
Thanks Aunt Becky! And, I must admit that this blog is actually a commentary on the book Cosmic Codes by Chuck Missler, but thanks for the compliments anyways! :D
DeleteNicely done! The Bible is a facinating book. The deeper we look the more we learn that God is the Author and the Finisher. What a mighty God we serve! Love, Dad
