Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones

Gen.29[30 ] And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah , and served with him yet seven other years.

[31] And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
[32] And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

[33] And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

[34] And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons : therefore was his name called Levi.- a shadow of the eternal Priesthood

[35] And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. - Line of Kings

Messiah

Isa.53[ 3] He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

1Cor.1[ 28] And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen , yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

Isa.49[ 7] Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him ( Messiah ) whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth , to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Matt.18[ 1] At the same time came the disciples unto Yeshua / Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?[2] And Yeshua / Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,[ 3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.[ 4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child , the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.[ 5] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.[ 6] But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

[10] Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.

The Mystery of the closed Mem

Prov.25[2] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alef-beit, has a value of "40"

think of all the scriptures with 40

The Mem has two forms, an open form and a closed form at the end of a word. We can say, the open form represents the revealed truth of God whereas the closed form represents the concealed truth of God.

1Cor.2[ 7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom , which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Eph.3 [4] Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Messiah / Christ)

The Messiah מָשִׁיחַ - An open Mem מ from a Closed Mem ם ( womb )

Isa.9:7 = 16 and 16 = 7 - Sabbath


Isa.9 [6] For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

[7] Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

In verse 7, a closed Mem appears where an open Mem normally should appear. The words are lemarbeh hamisrah, the increase of his government , the Mem in lemarbeh is a final (closed) Mem:
ל םרבה לְ מַרְבֵּה הַמִּשְׂרָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם אֵין־קֵץ

מרבה marbeh - mar-beh'- increasing; as noun, greatness , or (adverbially) greatly: - great, increase

1Cor.10[1 ] Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
[
2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; [3 ] And did all eat the same spiritual meat; [ 4] And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Messiah / Christ.

Water in Hebrew is mayim , מַּיִם is always in the plural form and has an open and closed mem. Water, like the number 40 symbolizes transformation and many other things. Baptism and immersion into the waters of a mikvah symbolize purification and salvation.

Water, spelled with the two mems, can allude to the hidden and the revealed aspects God.

Mark.16[ 16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Matt.28 [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Gen.30[ 22] And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.[ 23] And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:[24 ] And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

Gen.37[ 5] And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

John.7[ 5] For neither did his brethren believe in him. ( Messiah )

Acts.7[9 ] And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
[10] And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
[11] Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
[
12] But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
[
13] And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren ; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.

Heb.9[ 28] So Messiah / Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

John.3 3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.[ 4] Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?[ 5] Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.[6 ] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.[7 ] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

1Cor.15[ 47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven .

Question: How can Matt.2:15 be talking about Hos.11:1?

Messiah and His seed are brought out of Egypt

Matt.2[12] And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.[13 ] And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.[14 ] When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

[15] And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

Answer: This has to be explained correct.

Hos.11[1] When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

Israel, who is Jacob, is a TYPE or SHADOW of YESHUA.

Through Jacob's line the Messiah would come and all nations would be Blessed.

Gen.28:14] And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Through Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, Messiah came and blessed all that will call on His name with Salvation!

Jacob was brought out of Egypt

Gen.49:[29] And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,[30] In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan , which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.Gen.50[13] For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
