So which is or are what the
korban Yeshua relates to?
HaAkedah v'HaKorban Pesach or
HaKorban-Haben-Melekh-shel-Mo'av?
Parsha Vayera contains
Parsha v'Haftarah Vayera,
Bereshit 18-22 and
Malakhim Bet 4. Beginning with a
parsha m'Parsha Vayera:
Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a
burnt offering?”
8 And Abraham
said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So
the two of them went together.
9
Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an
altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid
him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And
Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him
from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the
lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not
withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there
behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went
and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of the
place, The-LORD-Will-Provide;
as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be
provided.”
15 Then the Angel of the
LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD,
because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only
son— 17 blessing I will bless
you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven
and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall
possess the gate of their enemies. 18
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have
obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham
returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and
Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Then m'Malakhim Bet, right before
HaHaftarah:
20 Now it happened in the morning,
when the grain offering was offered, that suddenly water came by way of Edom,
and the land was filled with water.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come
up to fight against them, all who were able to bear arms and older were
gathered; and they stood at the border. 22 Then they rose up early in the morning, and the sun was
shining on the water; and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as
red as blood. 23 And they said, “This
is blood; the kings have surely struck swords and have killed one another; now
therefore, Moab, to the spoil!”
24
So when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and attacked the
Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they entered their land,
killing the Moabites. 25 Then they
destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone on every good piece of land and
filled it; and they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the
good trees. But they left the stones of Kir Haraseth intact. However the
slingers surrounded and attacked it.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too
fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords, to break
through to the king of Edom, but they could not. 27 Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in
his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there
was great indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to
their own land.
So, which is
hakorban Yeshua?
HaAkedah-Akedot or
avodah zarah? Look at the differences:
Yeshua is Jewish and came to save Israel.
Mo'av attempted to destroy
Yisra'el v'Yehudah.
Yeshua offered himself, fulfilling "“My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.”"-- and only G-d can die to save others from sin.
Hamelekh-Mo'avi was not offering his firstborn son for selfless reasons but to try to win a war against the
Yisra'elim v'Yehudim.
Also,
hakorban Yeshua was wanted by those who thought that he committed
avodah zarah. "Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him
as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there was great indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to
their own land."
The original Hebrew reads, "
Vaiyikkach et-benov habbechor asher-yimloch tachtav vaiya'alehu olah
al-hachomah vayhi ke·tzef-gadol al-Yisra'el vaiyis'u me'alav
vaiyashuvu la'aretz. פ"
'Al could mean, as one translator put it, "upon" as in that Israel was disgusted. "Following this, such great anger came upon Isra'el that they left him and went
back to their own land." So they were disgusted with the korban of haben shel hamelekh-Mo'avi.
Many
Yehudim see
hakorban Yeshua as parallel to the
korban-haben shel hamelekh-Mo'avi.
For example, "Who died on the cross? Was it Jesus-the-god, or was it Jesus-the-human? If it
was Jesus-the-god, Jews don't believe that God can die. If it was
Jesus-the-human, then all Christians have in the death of Jesus was a human
death, a human sacrifice. Jews believe that God hates the very idea of human
sacrifice."
But these
Yehudim miss what
Avraham said plus:
But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
HaMelekh-Adonai is not just
HaMelekh-Adonai; but also Adonai, and not by coincidence. Therefore, to the Antimissionaries in particular:
Romans 11:8-10
New King James Version (NKJV)
8 Just as it is written:
“ God has given them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not
hear,
To this very day.”
9 And David says:
“ Let their table
become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to
them.
10 Let their
eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their
back always.”
Also:
Mark 12:9-11
New King James Version (NKJV)
9 “Therefore what will the owner
of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the
vineyard to others. 10 Have you not
even read this Scripture:
‘ The stone which the builders
rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
11 This was the LORD’s
doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
