And there you will stay until I return to you: for Herod is seeking to put the boy to<\/em> <em>death.<\/em><br>\n<em>14 And he arose, &lt;and did as the angel had said to him,&gt; and took up the boy and His<\/em> <em>mother by night, and departed into Egypt,<\/em><br>\n<em>15 And was there until the death of Herod: to fulfill what was spoken from YHWH by<\/em> <em>the prophet, who said, From out of Egypt I have called, My Son. (Hosea 11:1)<\/em><br>\n<em>(Matt. 2:13-15 HRV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an attempt to discredit this account, as well as the Messiahship \nof Yeshua, Tovia Singer and other anti-missionaries have claimed that \nMatthew quotes this passage of Hosea totally out of context. In reality \nMatthew\u2019s use of this passage as a Messianic prophecy is perfectly \njustified, and in fact shows a great deal of Jewish insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First off it is important to have a basic understanding of Jewish \nhermeneutics. In Judaism it is understood that there are four levels of \nunderstanding of a passage, which correspond to the four Hebrew letters \nthat spell the Hebrew word PaRDeS (Paradise) The word PRDS is also an \nacronym (called in Judaism \u201cnotarikon\u201d) for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>[P]ashat<\/strong> (Heb. \u201csimple\u201d) The plain, simple, literal level of understanding.<br>\n<strong>[R]emez<\/strong> (Heb. \u201chint\u201d) The implied level of understanding.<br>\n<strong>[D]rash<\/strong> (Heb. \u201csearch\u201d) The allegorical, typological or homiletically level of understanding.<br>\n<strong>[S]od<\/strong> (Heb. \u201chidden\u201d) The hidden, secret or mystical level of understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the four levels of understanding. The Four Gospels each \nexpress one of these four levels of understanding of the life of Yeshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pashat Gospel is Mark. Mark wrote a simple, brief, concise, \npashat account of Yeshua\u2019s life for the Goyim (Gentiles) while he was in\n Babylon with Kefa (1Kefa 5:13). He wrote his Gospel in the Syriac \ndialect of Aramaic for his Syrian and Assyrian readers in Babylon. Mark \nthus compiled material from Matthew and Luke and simplified it to create\n a simple version for Goyim. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Remez Gospel is Luke. Luke wrote a more detailed account for the \nHigh Priest Theophilus (a Sadducee). The Sadducees were rationalists and\n sticklers for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Drash Gospel is Matthew. Matthew presents his account of Yeshua\u2019s\n life as a Midrash to the Pharisees, as a continuing story tied to \nvarious passages from the Tanak As a drash level account Matthew also \nincludes a number of parables in his account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sod Gospel is Yochanan (John). Yochanan addresses the Mystical \nEssene sect and concerns himself with mystical topics like light, life, \ntruth, the way and the Word. Yochanan includes many Sod interpretations \nin his account. For example Yochanan 1:1 presents a Sod understanding of\n Gen. 1:1. Yochanan 3:14; 8:28 &amp; 12:32 present a Sod understanding \nof Num. 21:9 etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let us return to Hosea 11:1 where we read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When Israel was a child, then I loved him,<\/em><br>\n<em>And out of Egypt I called My son.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This passage draws from the Torah Exodus 4:22-23:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Then you shall say to Pharaoh,<\/em><br>\n<em>\u201cThus says YHWH:<\/em><br>\n<em>\u2018Israel is my first-born son.<\/em><br>\n<em>I have said to you, \u2018Let My son go,<\/em><br>\n<em>That he may worship Me,\u2019<\/em><br>\n<em>Yet you refuse to let him go.<\/em><br>\n<em>Now I will slay your first-born son.\u2019\u201d<\/em><br>\n<em>(Sh\u2019mot (Ex.) 4:22-23)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if Israel is the first-born son of YHWH spoken of in these \npassages, then why did Matthew apply this passage (Hoshea 11:1) to the \nMessiah?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why in the world does YHWH identify Israel as His first-born son? Why\n does Matthew identify Messiah as His son? Who in Judaism is the \nfirst-born Son of YHWH? Why the apparent confusion? Is Matthew really \ntaking Hoshea 11:1 out of context?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No Matthew is giving a Midrash, a Drash understanding of Hosea 11:1 \nand Exodus 4:22-23. In order to understand this Midrash it is important \nto understand the concept of the \u201cfirstborn Son of Yah\u201d in Judaism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firstborn Son of Yah referenced in the Zohar and is the Middle \nPillar of the Godhead which the Zohar identifies as \u201cThe Son of Yah\u201d. \nThe Zohar describes the three pillars of the Godhead as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Then Elohim said, \u201cLet thee be light; and there was light.<\/em><br>\n<em>And Elohim saw that the light was good\u2026<\/em><br>\n<em>Why, it may be asked, was it necessary to repeat the word \u201clight\u201d in this verse? The<\/em> <em>answer is that the first \u201clight\u201d refers to the primordial light which is of the Right<\/em> <em>Hand, and it is destined for the \u201cend of days\u201d; while the second \u201clight\u201d refers to<\/em> <em>the Left Hand, which issues from the Right.<\/em><br>\n<em>The next words, \u201cAnd God saw the light that it was good\u201d (Gen. 1:4), refer to the<\/em> <em>pillar which, standing midway between them, unites both sides, and therefore when the<\/em> <em>unity of the three, right, left, and middle, was complete, \u201cit was good\u201d, since there<\/em> <em>could be no completion until the third had appeared to remove the strife between<\/em> <em>Right and Left, as it is written, \u201cAnd God separated between the light and between<\/em> <em>the darkness.\u201d\u2026<\/em><br>\n<em>This is the Middle Pillar: Ki Tov (that it was good) threw light above and below and<\/em> <em>on all other sides, in virtue of YHWH, the name which embraces all sides.<\/em><br>\n<em>(Zohar 1:16b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right and left pillars are assigned as Mother and Father, the \nmiddle pillar, which balances the feminine and masculine characteristics\n from the male and female sides, is identified in the Zohar as \u201cthe Son \nof Yah\u201d. The Zohar says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.<\/em><br>\n<em>This neighbor is the Middle Pillar in the Godhead, which is the Son of Yah.<\/em><br>\n<em>(Zohar 2:115)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another Passage the Zohar has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We may also translate, \u201che who withholds blessings from the Son\u201d, whom the Father and<\/em> <em>Mother have crowned and blessed with many blessings, and concerning whom they<\/em> <em>commanded, \u201cKiss the son lest he be angry\u201d (Ps. II, 12), since he is invested both<\/em> <em>with judgement (gevurah) and with mercy (chesed).<\/em><br>\n<em>(Zohar 3:191b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And elsewhere the Zohar says of the Son:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Holy One, blessed be He, has a son, whose glory (tifret) shines from one end of<\/em> <em>the world to another. He is a great and mighty tree, whose head reaches heaven, and<\/em> <em>whose roots are set in the holy ground, and his name is \u201cMispar\u201d and his place is in<\/em> <em>the uppermost heaven\u2026 as it is written, \u201cThe heavens declare (me-SaPRim) the glory<\/em> <em>(tifret) of God\u201d (Ps. 19:1). Were it not for this \u201cMispar\u201d there would be neither<\/em> <em>hosts nor offspring in any of the worlds.<\/em><br>\n<em>(Zohar 2:105a)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is intended to point the reader back to a familiar passage from the Bahir:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Why are they called Sephirot?<\/em><br>\n<em>Because it is written (Psalm 19:2),<\/em><br>\n<em>\u201cThe heavens declare (me-SaPRim) the glory (tifret) of God.\u201d<\/em><br>\n<em>(Bahir 125)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Zohar, the Middle Pillar of the Godhead is not only known as the \u201cSon of Yah\u201d but also as \u201cMetatron\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Better is a neighbor that is near, than a brother far off.<\/em><br>\n<em>This neighbor is the Middle Pillar in the godhead,<\/em><br>\n<em>which is the Son of Yah.<\/em><br>\n<em>(Zohar 2:115)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Middle Pillar is also known as \u201cMetatron\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Middle Pillar [of the godhead] is Metatron,<\/em><br>\n<em>Who has accomplished peace above,<\/em><br>\n<em>According to the glorious state there.<\/em><br>\n<em>(Zohar 3:227)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Zohar we are also told that Metatron is \u201cthe firstborn\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cAnd Abraham said to his oldest servant of his house\u2026\u201d (Gen.  24:2) Who is this of whom it said \u201chis servant?\u201d In what sense must this  be understood? Who is this servant? R. Nehori answered:<\/em><br> <em>\u201cIt is in no other sense to be understood than expressed in the word \u201cHis servant,\u201d<\/em><br> <em>His servant, the servant of Elohim, the chief to His service.

He is appointed to glorify the bodies  which are in the grave.<\/em><br> <em>This is the meaning of the words \u201cAbraham said to His servant\u201d that  is to the servant of Elohim. The servant is Metatron, the eldest of His  [YHWH\u2019s] House, who is the firstborn of all creatures of Elohim, who is  the ruler of all He has; because Elohim has committed to Him the  government over all His hosts.<\/em><br> <em>(Zohar Midrash Ha-Ne\u2019lam; Parsha Hayyei Sarah 1:126b)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in Judaism both Israel and \u201cThe Son of Yah\u201d are identified as the \u201cfirst-born Son of YHWH\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the first century Jewish writer Philo, this firstborn Son of Elohim is also known as \u201cThe Word:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philo Writes of the Word (Logos):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For there are, as it seems, two temples belonging to God; one \nbeing this world, in which the high priest is the divine word, his own \nfirstborn son. The other is the rational soul, the priest of which is \nthe real true man,<\/em><br>\n<em>(On Dreams 215)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And if there be not as yet any one who is worthy to be called a \nson of God, neverthless let him labour earnestly to be adorned according\n to his Firstborn Word, the eldest of his angels, as the great archangel\n of many names; for He is called, \u201cthe Authority\u201d, and \u201cthe Name of \nGod\u201d, and \u201cthe Word\u201d, and \u201cman according to God\u2019s image\u201d, and \u201cHe who \nsees Israel\u201d. . . For even if we are not yet suitable to be called the \nsons of God, still we may deserve to be called the children of his \neternal image, of his most sacred Word; for the image of God is his most\n ancient word.<\/em><br>\n<em>( On the Confusion of Tongues XXVIII:146-147)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thus, indeed, being a shepherd is a good thing, so that it is \njustly attributed, not only to kings, and to wise men, and to souls who \nare perfectly purified, but also to God, the ruler of all things; and he\n who confirms this is not any ordinary person, but a prophet, whom it is\n good to believe, he namely who wrote the psalms; for he speaks thus, \n\u201cThe Lord is my shepherd, and he shall cause me to lack Nothing;\u201d (Ps. \n23:1.) and let every one in his turn say the same thing,<\/em><br>\n<em>for it is very becoming to every man who loves God to study such a \nsong as this, but above all this world should sing it. For God, like a \nshepherd and a king, governs (as if they were a flock of sheep) the \nearth, and the water, and the air, and the fire, and all the plants, and\n living creatures that are in them, whether mortal or divine; and he \nregulates the nature of the heaven, and the periodical revolutions of \nthe sun and moon, and the variations and harmonious movements of the \nother stars, ruling them according to law and justice; appointing, as \ntheir immediate superintendent, his own right reason, his first-born \nson, who is to receive the charge of this sacred company, as the \nlieutenant of the great king; for it is said somewhere, \u201cBehold, I am \nhe! I will send my messenger before thy face, who shall keep thee in the\n Road.\u201d(Ex. 23:20.)<\/em><br>\n<em>(On Husbandry 50-51)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore Philo tells us that \u201cThe Word\u201d (Logos) and the Messiah are one and the same:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe head of all things is the eternal Word (Logos) of the \neternal God, under which, as if it were his feet or other limbs, is \nplaced the whole world, over which He passes and firmly stands. Now it \nis not because Messiah is Lord that He passes and sits over the whole \nworld, for His seat with His Father and God but because for its perfect \nfullness the world is in need of the care and superintendence of the \nbest ordered dispensation, and for its own complete piety, of the Divine\n Word (Logos), just as living creatures (need) a head, without which it \nis impossible to live.\u201d<\/em><br>\n<em>(Q&amp;A on Exodus, II, 117)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when YHWH says in Sh\u2019mot (Ex.) 4:22-23 and Hoshea 11:1 that Israel\n is his first-born son he is speaking allegorically. He is comparing \nIsrael to Messiah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when Mattitiyahu quotes Hoshea 11:`1 and applies this sonship to \nMessiah he is referring to the reality behind the allegory of Hosea 11:1\n and Sh\u2019mot 4:22-23. In effect Matthew is saying that Yeshua the Messiah\n is the figure that later Rabbinic Judaism came to call \u201cThe Son of \nYah\u201d. Therefore the Torah in Sh\u2019mot 4:22-23 is prompting us that there \nis an allegorical relationship between Israel and Messiah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how is the Messiah allegorically like Israel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Both made a major impact on the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Both were born through a biological miracle on their mother\u2019s womb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Both were taken into Egypt to save their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Both are called up out of Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Both have been despised and rejected by man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Rome attempted to execute each of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* Both are resurrected never to die again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By saying, \u201cIsrael is my first-born son\u201d, ELOHIM is saying that by \noppressing Israel, it is as if Pharaoh was oppressing the Son of Yah, \nthe Messiah himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact the Tanya makes use of this same allegory which connects the Son of Yah as spoken of in the Zohar with Israel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So, allegorically speaking, have the souls of Jews risen in the \n[Divine] thought, as it is written, \u201cMy firstborn son is Israel,\u201d and \n\u201cYe are children unto the Lord your G-d\u201d. That is to say, just as a \nchild is derived from his father\u2019s brain, so\u2014 to use an \nanthropomorphism\u2014 the soul of each Israelite is derived from G-d\u2019s \n(blessed be He) thought and wisdom.<\/em><br>\n<em>(Tanya; Likutei Amarim; Chapter 2)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Similarly is it with the human soul, which is divided in two\u2014  sechel (intellect) and middot (emotional attributes).

ChaBaD  <\/em>(the intellectual faculties) are called \u201cmothers\u201d and source of the  middot, for the latter are \u201coffspring\u201d of the former.<br><em>(Tanya; Likutei Amarim; Chapter 3)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"76\" height=\"80\" src=\"http:\/\/nazarenespace.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Siren2-1.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Emergency Alert!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#fb0000\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Our rent is due tomorrow (7\/1\/24) and right now we do not have it!
