The victory of Christmas

The victory of Christmas As the Chritmas season approaches, I have a good time to do the following article: THE CHRISTMAS VICTORY logical and practical interpretation of Is.7: 14 in light of the context and language.As they celebrate Christmas, sending sheets of recommendation from the tree with lights and decorations and get caught in the hustle and bustle of gift buying, you stop to ask what is the true meaning of Christmas? If yes, what is your response? Just so that a child is bo in a manger 2000 years ago? So do not ask, as it is for me? I'm sure some of you might say that the price of the Babe was our savior, and later for our sins. True, but this can not be? T go much farther. In fact, it seems a little 'Christmas conditional Friday, after some great festivals we celebrate, not Christmas. However, I believe that if we are the full intent of his coming, as defined by God in Scripture, you see, we have a good reason for the great feast of Christmas is to celebrate and hilt.What, we ask, is the full intention of his coming? Is not simply, although the birth was not possible In case of death, but, rather, that his birth was in itself a sign and Guarantee of death and salvation is in everyone? s wealth. This heritage includes not only a future of eteity, but also a present victory and freedom from fear in our daily lives. In Matthew 1:20-21, Joseph tells the angels are not afraid for his wife, Maria from? What is in it is the Holy Spirit, and bears a son, and called his name Jesus, for it is he who will save his people from their sins. The name? Jesus? mean? Savior? or more literally? Supplier. And 'the transliteration of the Old Testament, the name? Joshua. Just as Joshua led the victory to his people in the land of Canaan, so that Jesus will lead us to victory in the land of our spiritual heritage.Then in verse 21, Matthew explained? Now all this took place, that what was said by the Lord through the prophet might be Satisfied, said:? Behold, the Virgin and Child with IS bear a Son, and that is his name Immanuel INVITO what does it mean? GOD WITH U.S.. Before proceeding to the quota, we must say the word? Met. In the original greek, its literal meaning is? Filled? o? ready? o? completed. I should also mention at this point, to avoid misunderstandings that after the word? Virgin? Matthew can be used for any other translation. Verse 23 is a quote from the Septuagint (the greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures) from Is.7: 14, that the Greek word, indicating clearly that is a virgin.Please take into account the importance of these three greek Words in the head, as you continue. ? Jesus? Supplier =? ? met? =? Completely filled? e? Virgin? =? Virgin. Yes, there is no doubt that in Matthew the word? Virgin? Can I just say? Virgin. If we want the original Hebrew Is.7: 14 But the case is different. The Hebrew language, which is much more in its use as a Greek word, allows multiple meanings, with a word in a general context, or a circle of meaning. For example, the word? Shalom? not only mean? Peace? But also? Welfare? ? Blessing? ? hello? and "Auf Wiedersehen,? Among others. The same kind of thing is also true for the Hebrew word? Alma? has been translated? Virgin? the King James translators Is.7: 14 The word has a broader meaning? a young woman of child-marriage, one of whose characteristics may or may not be a virgin. (See I Chr.15: 20, Ps.68: 25, Prov.30: 19, Song 1:3 and 6: 8) Therefore, the translators of the RSV Translates as? young woman. Have been heavily criticized, even if it is a perfectly acceptable translation, and that fits better in the context of how see.One of the fundamental principles of interpretation is to ascertain the Context. In this case, the immediate context would be the 7th and Chapter 8. Forget for a moment the character of verse 14, and the image you try to retu in the coming days and Ahaz Isaiah. At the beginning of Chapter 7, we see that we A physical situation with the war. Ahaz, king of Judah faced with two enemies, Rezin, king of Syria and Pekah, King of Israel, and he? s scared to death. Thus, the Lord said in Isaiah Ahaz not to fear, because these two would be king Defeated. Detection Ahaz? S doubt, the Lord asked him how Ahaz for a sign, Ahaz, however, in a false piety, refused. So the Lord Said a sign to Ahaz. Thus, we come to verse 14. The fact that the message? House of David? Not deny that Ahaz, as he was the ruler, And therefore the representative of the nation. If we ? alma? how? young woman? and reading through verse 16, see clearly what the sign was Ahaz. The Lord says that a Child is bo, and before the child is older, the land Whose two kings Ahaz fears will leave. If we continue on Chapter 8, one sees that the child is bo. Isaiah had a son, whose name means? Do-it-haste-ye-to-the-pampered? and a similar statement is in verse 4, that 7:16, the main product Isaiah? S child with the prophecy of the victory over physical Ahaz. The child is still? Emmanuel? in verse 8. Now you have a clear picture of what is meant, verse 14 to Ahaz. Ma? They ask:? How does all this relate to Matthew? s Quote from verse 14, and the use of Matthew is a word that Could only mean? Virgin? I believe the answer lies in Typological interpretation. Do you remember the other word used In Matthew, that translated? met? Remember, we said Which literally means? completely filled. The prophecy was Ahaz meets only in part? s time. The complete Fulfillment would come later. Thus, Isaiah? S child, whose very Name has the ring of victory in him, was a sign, Ahaz E ART OF AN ahead, the WHO, the United States would be a sign of Spiritual Victory. At 8:18, Isaiah says that he and his sons are Signs and wonders in Israel, and the word here? sign? is Also been translated? Tip. (The type A is a real person, place, what or event of the Old Testament, even as Look forward to a spiritual reality, [referred Den? antitype?] in the New Testament.) typological This interpretation allows the full meaning of ? alma? comes into play. Ahaz heard? Young woman? and I saw Shall meet as such in his time with the birth of Isaiah? s son. But we look back, we can see that this is not all that God Intended. God had more sense that the birth of Isaiah? S son. He was also research into the corridors of time, when they want His son by a virgin. Thus was the prophecy filled with the birth of the antitype, Jesus, as in Matthew. Hopefully, we can now more reason that Jesus came and why we can celebrate his birth in full. Ahaz fears Two enemies. There are also two enemies, we need now, not More fear. I Is.8: 18 This verse is in New Testament in Hebrews.2: 13 in connection with the embodiment of Christ, in verses 14 and 15, we see that he came to us free Fear of death. Even Paul speaks of this in Icor.15 :55-57. The second enemy, Jesus came to defeat Enemy of sin, from Paul in Romans 6, he says in verse 14 That he did not rule over us. He combines these two Enemies in Romans 8:2, saying that Christ has set us free, or ? expressed? us from them. Just as he tries to tell Ahaz, we need no longer fear going them.Of Rezin and Pekah can also create your personal Opponents or enemies. Whatever Rezin & Pekah (the number of The things that the devil can keep you down), do not panic, but she knows that Jesus came to give you.This is the true meaning of Christmas, that Jesus came to be our Sign of victory? to show that we have no more fear that the May angetan different forces against us in the pastoral Reich. And 'course, in Isaiah chapter 9, where the Special promise of Christ's birth? his son, in Verse 6? is in the language of war and the victory (vs.4 & 5). E 'also confirmed by the prophecy of the Angel Maria Luke 1:33 and the beautiful Maria and Benidictus Zechariah (Luke 1:46-55 & A68-79), especially vs.69, 71, E 74-75. This, above all, the idea that Jesus offers us For anxiety-free service of God. " Read these wonderful parts of the Writing and the joy at the fact that the victory may be through faith in Jesus, whose birth we celebrate at this time of Year. May, lights and beautiful decorations fancily wrapped gifts that we see in this season reminds us of the glorious victory for us by those whose date of birth Celebrating.Rev us. James M. Becher, M.
