Oh,

So was fulfilled, what was said through the prophets He will be called a Nazarene.

It'll be called the Nazarin.

What's a quote because I got quotes in my English translation. First, let's throw the quotes out, because the quotes are not in the original.

So as to fill what was said through the prophets, he'll be called an asser. What prophet said that.

Not written anywhere, no prophet said that won't find it anywhere. Matthew made it up.

Not only that he quoted verses out of context, it's not only that he stuck extra words and that didn't belong, it's only that he twisted the reading of other verses.

He just made it up sometimes, I guess he hoped nobody would notice.

Trying to reach the Jews, but he just hoped nobody would notice.

So let's take a serious look at this, because there is the question of, what does he mean.

First notice that the only time in his book he uses a different formula.

So was fulfilled. What was said through the prophets, plural, got it.

He doesn't quote the Prophet, he doesn't quote Jeremiah, he doesn't quote Isaiah profits plural.

That's the first thing doesn't occur anywhere else, then he will be called a Nazarene. Hmm.

There are lots of different ideas as to what he actually had in mind, but because its profits, plural, it points in one specific direction.

In in Nazareth, you see those letters N-Z-R, that's the root.

Of the the word that Sarah.

What profits could he have been a referring to Now remember I told you that when he quoted is as seven, he was not just looking at Isaiah, seven when he quoted The.

Virgin, famous Virgin Birth prophecies that a virgin birth, prophecy or not, will discuss that in a bit.

However, when he quoted that my wife, premise was, he was not just looking at Isaac Seven, but he was looking at Isaac seven through eleven.

Why do I say that take a look in the fourth chapter of Matthew.

Their Matthew Coats and Matthew four, fifteen and sixteen.

Land is Volun, land of not to leave the way to the seal on the Jordan galley of the gentiles. The people living in darkness have seen a great light on those living in the.

Land of the Shadow of Death, the white has dawned, that's I say, in nine, one and two.

Hebrewversions, just back it up, averse to the last verse of I say eight first verse of A-Z, and I, so he's quoting that section.

And what's prophesied just a few verses later, child is born to us, son is given to us, the government will be upon his shoulder a wonderful messianic prophecy.

And I-Z and I, and now what comes in Isa, eleven a passage we looked at yesterday.

What's written there, the decimation of a Syria. It's a mighty forest lop down, chopped down.

Juda, jerusalem themselves have been estimated. But out of it, it's a little stump.

Right What's going to go forth from that stone Remember a branch coming up from the root of Jesse.

Branch will go forth. And then I say eleven.

Is one of the most universally recognized messianic prophecies in the Bible, in other words, jews, christians, everybody recognizes that as a messianic prophecy.

You said, well, how do I know math You had that in mind. Well,

We saw that one of the titles of the Messiah was branch, we saw it in Jeremiah 23, we saw it in Zechariah. Three. We saw Zechariah six.

Semi branch the Prophets referred to that someone also suggested it could refer to his his lowliness as well.

What's the word that Isai Eleven one uses for branch, that a branch will come out of the stump.

Of Jesse grow up from the roots. The word there is Netsair, netsair.

It seems very clear, I mean, you find, listen to me.

If we had Orthodox Rabbi sitting here.

They could recite to you off the top of their head. Plays on words in Rabbinic literature, constantly plays on words, plays on words where.

We'll just sign it and the similar word, decide it, and I'll read it this way, this way, this way back and forth.

Matthew is finding this extraordinary little play on words.

He will be called, he will actually be a net there.

The profits then expanded on this in other places. He'll be called the Nets there, a branch, other profits referred to him as a branch.

There's also the possibility of of the loneliness of of Nazareth, and the unlikelihood of.

Messiah living in Nazareth, just such an obscure place, and the prophets that spoke of the massage, obscurity, that could be what's in his mind, too.

But it's clear to me, when I-I was going through this with an ultra Orthodox rabbi, we were.

Studying some text together when we got here, he said, you know my suggestion He said, I think it's Isai Eleven one. He said, I think he was thinking about nets. There.

He's not just thinking about nets there there, nets here, not Sarah, play on words, he's going to live in this place here, picture this, we'll give it to an English.

And his family took up residents in the city of Branchland.

As, as the prophet said, he's going to be called the Branchi.

And then you find all these prophecies about the branch, would you say, oh, that's that's crazy. That's, or, would you say, isn't that interesting?

Especially given.

Jewish methods of interpretation of the day.

And especially when the whole section is such a prophetic section, and especially when this, this concept of the branch.

Occurs in other places, but there, the clearest of all, isai Eleven one. He's called the net Center.

Most scholars accept that designation, for me, there's no reason to to look any further.

And and the the going from the Hebrew to the Greek and the different letters involved, it all can work out without a problem.

So you have two choices. When you read this.

You need to say, mathew doesn't know what he's doing, and these proofs wouldn't convince anybody, and it's so easy to refute them.

Or you can say Mathew, where his eyes open to the scriptures.

Recognizing.

His messiah risen from the dead and sending the spirit in power and confirming his word through these years.

Goes back and sees in many different ways, god pointing to his son. Now here's the key thing, please understand this, this is Major.

There are some prophecies.

Which are laid out and given to us in ways so that as we ask, who is the messiah what does he have to do Who does he have to be.

How can we identify him There are clear things given, clear things that had to happen within certain time frames.

And then there are other things that you would call illusions, hence, interesting insights, things that point to. In other words, matthew is not thinking.

That en, quoting this verse or or quoting this.

Word that was spoken through the Prophets that he'll be a net, sarah Branch and he lived in Nazareth, that they'll all say, oh, then we have to believe.

He's painting a whole picture, okay? And some of the rebitic interpretation would be called middrosh, which is homoetical interpretation.

And there's no question that some of Mathew's interpretation is homolentical as well.

In other words, there are certain things that you would say, are our proof texts are fundamental.

That are life and death passages, for example, if if what we examined yesterday, I say forty two and I say Forty nine and I say, fifty three are not Messianic.

Then we have a hard time saying that Jesus is the massage.

There are other things that are simply homoetical illustrations and interesting points and insights and things. He draws out.

And this is one of them, so he's not making it up. He uses a different quotation formula here.

And he will be called the Nazarene is a summary.

Of these prophetic voices, saying he'll be called a Branchite, and he lives in Branchland. Isn't that interesting.

She.
