“Ben (son of) Bag Bag said: Turn the Torah over and over for everything is in it. Look into it, grow old and worn over it, and never move away from it, for you will find no better portion than it.”
(Pirkei Avot chapter 5)
Makes sense that Moses wrote the Torah. After all, when he saw the bush burning with fire yet was not consumed, he turned aside to see this great sight, why the bush was not burned. And when God saw that Moses turned aside to see, he called out to him from the midst of the paradox.
in Jesus, God himself became a man, putting himself under the limitations of a man.
That's not a paradox, it's a fundamental contradiction. The bush was a physical reality that was right there in front of him. A seeming contradiction, but it was an outward appearance of weirdness, thus Moses desired to check it out to see what the deal was.
What he didn't do was ask some expert to explain it. If he did that who knows what he would have believed. Maybe that the bush itself (the messenger as it were) was god. If that were the case, God wouldn't have called out to him in the first place, seeing that Moses was not interested in paying attention and learning. The guy was a sponge for hard facts. Raw data, not smoke and mirrors.
Who is worthy to open the book? The one who can be completely trusted with the information therein. A type like Moses.
The soul of Mashiach is the “soul-of-the-soul” of Moses...
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.(Revelation 5:5)
The root of David is beloved.
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
