Gavin says, "if you missed…Old Testament Messianic Prophecies 5" it "is available on Sermon Audio &…the significance of this Messianic prophecy of Genesis 49:10…relevant section…starts at around 1 hour & 49 minutes." "Now…just as the Holy Ghost speaking through Genesis 49:9 & 10 illuminates us to understand…Numbers 24:8 & 9 is a Messianic prophecy that the Christ was to be 'brought forth out of Egypt;' so likewise..., when we come to the 'out of Egypt' prophecy in Hosea 11:1, 'when Israel was a child, then I loved him, & called my son out of Egypt,' then it follows on this same methodological principle of prophetic interpretation, that the 'out of Egypt' prophecy of Hosea 11:1, must be contextually understood through reference to the earlier Messianic 'out of Egypt' prophecy of Numbers 24:8, in order to understand the singular Messianic predictive connotation of Hosea 11:1. And thus Hosea 11:1 predicts that as typed by a plural-singular national Israel at the time of the Exodus, God likewise says of the then coming singular Messiah, that 'I ... called my son out of Egypt.' But the fact that Hosea 11:2 then goes into the plural, puts a demarcation line between this typology, since its reference to the apostasy of Hosea 11:2, being in the plural, contextually applies only to national Israel following the Exodus, & not to the Messiah or Christ." "And this is relevant to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity" in "the Old Testament" with reference to: Gen. 1:2,26; Deut. 6:4,5; II Sam. 23:1,2; Pss. 51:11, 110:1; 104:24,30; Isa. 64:8, Hosea 11:1, Mal. 2:10. For per I Cor. 11:20, "there must also be heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." |
