Thine only son - a shadow of Messiah
Gen.18
[1] And
the LORD appeared - VAYERA (and He appeared)
unto him
[2] And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo,
three men
Can't eat milk and meat? The Lord did!! ( also after the Torah was given - 2 Sam. 17:29 David had milk and meat )
[8] And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat .
Gen.19 -- Homosexuality
[1] And there
came two angels
[13] For
we will
destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen
great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD
hath sent us to destroy it.
Plurality
[25] And
he overthrew those cities,
and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities,
and that which grew upon the ground
.[26] But his wife
looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar
of salt.[27
] And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he
stood before the LORD:[
28] And he looked toward Sodom
and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo,
the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a
furnace.
[30] And Lot
went up out of Zoar, and dwelt
in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in
Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.[
31] And the firstborn said unto the
younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in
unto us after the manner of all the earth:[32
] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will
lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.[
33] And they made their father drink
wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he
perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.[
34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the
firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father:
let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him,
that we may preserve seed of our Father.[35
] And they made their father drink wine that night also:
and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay
down, nor when she arose.[36
] Thus were both the daughters of Lot with
child by their father.[37
] And the firstborn bare a son,
and called his name Moab
: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
[38]
And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his
name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of
Ammon unto this
day.
This Land was not given to the Descendants of Ishmael, but rather to the Descendants of Isaac and his seed
Gen.21[
12] And God said unto Abraham,
Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy
bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for
in Isaac shall thy seed be called
.
Rom.9[
6] ....
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:[7] Neither,
because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac
shall thy seed be called.[8] That is, They which are the children of the flesh,
these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted
for the seed.

Deut.6[
4] Hear, O Israel:
The LORD our God is one LORD:
Again please notice that the very words
"our God" are in the plural in the Hebrew text and literally mean
"our Gods."
The main argument lies in the word "one," which
is the Hebrew word, ECHAD
. A glance through the Hebrew text where the word is
used elsewhere can quickly show that the word echad does not mean an absolute
"one" but a compound "one."
For instance, in Genesis 1:5 the combination of evening
and morning comprise one (echad) day. In Genesis 2:24 a man and a woman come
together in marriage and the two "shall become one (echad) flesh."
In Ezra 2:64 we are told that the whole assembly was as one (echad), though,
of course, it was composed of numerous people. Ezekiel 37:17 provides a rather
striking example where two sticks are combined to become one (echad). Thus,
use of the word echad in Scripture shows it to be a compound and not an absolute
unity.
There is a Hebrew word that does mean an absolute unity
and that is YACHID
, which is found in many Scripture passages, (Genesis 22:2,12;
Judges 11:34; Psalm 22:21: 25:16; Proverbs 4:3; Jeremiah 6:26; Amos 8:10; Zechariah
12:10) the emphasis being on the meaning of "only." If Moses intended
to teach God's absolute oneness as over against a compound unity, this would
have been a far more appropriate word. In fact, Maimonides noted the strength
of "yachid' and chose to use that word in his "Thirteen Articles
of Faith'' in place of echad. However, Deuteronomy 6:4 (the Shema) does not
use "yachid" in reference to God.
Gen.22[
1] And it came to pass after
these things, that God did tempt
[12] And he
said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him:
for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast
not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
[16] And said,
By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing,
and hast not withheld thy son
, thine only son
:
Zech.12[
10] And I will pour upon the
house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace
and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom
they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as
one mourneth for his only son
, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness
for his firstborn.
only begotten Son - Yeshua / Jesus
H3205
Pss.2[
7] I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day
have I begotten thee
.
[18] No man
hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son
, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared
him.
John.3[
16] For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
[18] He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.
Heb.11[
17] By faith Abraham, when he
was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises
offered up his only begotten son,
1John.4[
9] In this was manifested the
love of God toward us, because that God sent his
only begotten Son into the
world, that we might live through him
Isaac had a brother, Ishmael
Yeshua had brothers and sisters
Matt.13[
55] Is not this the carpenter's
son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren,
James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?[56] And his sisters
, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these
things?
Mark.6[
3] Is not this the carpenter,
the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and
of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with
us? And they were offended at him.
John.7[
5] For
neither did his brethren believe in him.
Isaac as a offering, Yeshua the offering
Heb.11[17] By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,[18] Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:[19] Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. The Lord did provide Himself
a Lamb as a offering
Heb.7[
27] Who needeth not daily, as
those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then
for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered
up himself.
Rev.5[
6] And I beheld, and, lo, in
the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb as it had been
slain,
John.1[
29] The next day John seeth
Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Isa. 53 -
a lamb to the slaughter
: Over 50 references of a man are made in this
chapter.
[1] Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of
the LORD revealed?[2] For he
shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out
of a dry ground: he
hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see
him, there is no beauty
that we should desire him
.[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.[4] Surely he
hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.[5] But
he was wounded for
our transgressions, he
was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace
was upon him
; and with his
stripes we are healed.[6] All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one to
his own way; and
the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all.[7] He
was oppressed, and
he was afflicted, yet
he opened not his
mouth: he
is brought as a lamb to
the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is
dumb, so he
openeth not his
mouth.[8] He
was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall
declare his
generation? for he was
cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was
he stricken.[9] And
he made
his grave with the
wicked, and with the rich in his
death; because
he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his
mouth.[10] Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise
him; he hath put
him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering
for sin,
he shall see
his seed,
he shall prolong
his days, and
the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in
his hand.[11]
He shall see
of the travail of his
soul, and shall be satisfied:
by his knowledge shall my righteous servant
justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities
.[12] Therefore will I divide
him a portion with
the great, and he
shall divide the spoil with the strong; because
he hath poured out his soul unto death
: and he
was numbered with the transgressors; and
he bare the sin of many, and made intercession
for the transgressors.
Rev.1[
18]
I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the
keys of hell and of death.
[18]
And Lot said unto
them, Oh, not so,
my Lord
:
[24]
Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone
and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
[29]
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of
the plain, that God remembered
Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow,
when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
Gen.22[3
] And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled
his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave
the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which
God had told him.[4] Then on
the third day Abraham lifted
up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.[5
] And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with
the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you,[
6] And
Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his
son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife;
and they went both of them together.[7
] And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father:
and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood:
but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
[8] And
Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb
for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
