  8. Hebrew O.T./Tanakh - Masoretic Text

  9. Tanakh is an acronym of the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text's three traditional subdivisions: Torah ('Teaching', also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi'im ('Prophets') and Ketuvim ('Writings')—hence TaNaKh.

  10.  “Everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled” (Luke 24:36-49).

  11. Midrash • an ancient commentary on part of the Hebrew scriptures, attached to the biblical text. The earliest Midrashim come from the 2nd century AD, although much of their content is older.

  12. Talmud=Moses received the Torah as a written text alongside an oral version or commentary. This oral section is now what the Jews call the Talmud. • Aramaic Targums= The targumim (singular targum, Hebrew: תרגום) were originally spoken translations of the Jewish scriptures (also called the Tanakh) that a meturgeman(professional interpreter) would give in the common language of the listeners when that was not Hebrew. This had become necessary near the end of the 1st century BC, as the common language was Aramaic and Hebrew was used for little more than schooling and worship

  13. Tanakh = Hebrew old testament • Midrash= an ancient commentary on part of the Hebrew scriptures, attached to the biblical text. • Talmud = oral version or commentary. • Aramaic Targums = oral version or commentary

  16. The Messianic Jewish viewpoint of the Incarnation • 1. Their understanding • 2. The appearances of God • 3. God tabernacleing Himself • 4. the Holy Spirit tabernacled in the word

  17. Tanakh = Hebrew old testament • Midrash= an ancient commentary on part of the Hebrew scriptures, attached to the biblical text. • Talmud = oral version or commentary. • Aramaic Targums = oral version or commentary

  18. God cannot be contained • God cannot be contained (1 Kings 8:27) and does not dwell in temples made with hands (Isa. 66:1; Acts 17:24), so how did the temple contain God? (2 Chron. 7:12-16).

  19. God cannot be contained • 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 The LORD appeared to him at night and said: "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a temple for sacrifices….. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there."

  20. Memra= The Word Ps 107:20 He sent His word and healed them,And delivered them from their destructions. the creative word: "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made" Ps. 36:6 Isa 55:10“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,And do not return there without watering the earthAnd making it bear and sprout,And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;It will not return to Me empty,Without accomplishing what I desire,And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

  21. John 1 New American Standard Bible (NASB) • 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. • 14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 

  22. God-breathed The bible All Scripture is infused with the life and the power of God When God created the Earth with his word – man Same power to create life is in the scriptures
