About The Trinity in The Old Testament: The Son Is The Right Hand of God

In many verses of the Bible is made reference to The Hand of God, and how His hand does wonderful things. The way these verses are written could drive us to ask if The Hand Of God is a person.  What does the term "right hand" mean? In the Hebrew cultural mind setting, there exists a great difference between a hand and the right hand. The right hand has power:  Hand" most frequently represents the ownership, power, or control that its possessor (either an individual or a people) exercises.[...] The hand of God, and especially the right hand, is also understood as a place of salvation, refuge, and protection (16:8). It is the favored position for the firstborn of Joseph to receive Jacob's blessing ( Gen 48:13-18 ), for the bride of the king ( Psalm 45:9 ), and for the chosen one who sits at God's right hand while judgment is rendered upon the earth ( 110:1 ; Jer 22:24 ).

Jews claim that Isaiah refers to the People of Israel as the central character of the prophcsies. The Chistian world on the other hand claims that many of the prophecies in fact refer to Christ. Prophecy is an important dimension of the word of God. In the Gospels is narrated how in several occasions Jesus predicts an event, to persuade his audience that when that event came to happen, they would come to believe in Him. For example, In John 13:18-19 he foretold his betrayal, in John 14:2...

How I Discovered the Message in Genesis 49

“The Old Testament can be easily understood after looking at it with the magnifying glass of the New Testament…” For those who might be interested on how and why I studied Genesis 49, here is the answer. For few months during contemplative of the study of the Word of God, The Holy Spirit guided me to look at Hebrew Masoretic text of the Old Testament. A great tool I was presented was the lexicon and interlinear bibles of www.blueletterbible.org and interlinerbible.org One day I felt invited to search which was the first verse in the Bible where the word “salvation” appears. It’s in Genesis 49. Since at that time I did not even know how to read Hebrew, I relied a lot into the lexicon and interlinear translations word by word to make sense of the original Hebrew. The desire of learning and understanding more lead me to participate of a course of Biblical Hebrew with The University of Jerusalem. During the months I undertook the Biblical Hebrew course, I w...
