Jesus in the Old Testament

[YosefHayim]

31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

This is very interesting. Now how does this compare: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Is it Jesus leaving his father?

Then I guess Genesis 18:1 arbitrarily says Iehovah appeared to Abraham. And that was it.

Huh? It means what it says: the LORD appeared to Moses. They then have a long discussion. There is nothing arbitrary about it.

 

[Malachi]

This is very interesting. Now how does this compare: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Is it Jesus leaving his father?

Since Jesus is not a "man" but the Lord from Heaven (1 Cor 15:47), His Body the Church is "one flesh" with Him (Eph 5:32) even while He is in the Father, and the Father is in Him (Jn 14:10). As Paul says " this is a GREAT MYSTERY" (Eph 5:2).

 

[YosefHayim]

IEHOUAH AND YESHUA WALK ON WATER

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Job 9:8 (Old Testament)

Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea Matthew 14:25 (New Testament)

Is it Jesus leaving his father?

Or His Mother?

 

[YosefHayim]

Or His Mother?

Funny you say that, because there is heavenly mother doctrines. Some saying the HS is, and some saying Mary is, and even Sophia (wisdom) because the proverbs constantly personify wisdom and Jesus said "wisdom is justified of her children". But then the Nations must be actual people because the scriptures call nations "her" as well. But it is only Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

As for Mary, she's just a woman.


Perhaps.

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1:27

Was female created in the Image of God?

I think there is more to Mary. There are Old Testament "types" of Mary as well. The Bush burning forth from barren ground, burning yet not consumed. The Eastern gate that the King of Glory passed through which shall never again be opened. God chose the tabernacle to be His seat, and was very specific about this ark (Ex 25-30). I don't really believe that God would be any less specific concerning who would bear Christ as His mother. If we believe the Son is begotten before all ages as God the Son, then God ordained before all ages that Mary would be this ark. God wanted his words housed in a perfect container, golden within and without, highly specific about how this ark would seat Him. No less, God was specific in Mary, and would choose no less a residence for God the Word.

Inside the Ark, there were the stone tablets of the law. Within Mary was Jesus Christ, Word of God in the flesh. Inside the Ark was the manna, the miraculous bread which came down from heaven. Within Mary was Jesus, the bread of life coming down from heaven. Inside the Ark was the budded Rod of Aaron which proved and defended the station of the high priest. Within Mary was Christ the Eternal High Priest.

David asks in the Old Testament, "How can the Ark of the Lord come to me?" in 2 Samuel 6:9. Elizabeth asks in the New, "Why is this granted me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?" in Luke 1:43. All are very interesting parallels all things considered, ones that I find hard to dismiss, ones that make me feel that Mary is more honored than I originally would have assumed.
