Excellent analysis!
Praise God for Messianic Jews!
There’s a Messianic Jew on the radio named Tom Cantor. I love listening to him, because he has a depth of knowledge of the Bible and of Hebrew that goes beyond just academic learning, but is woven into the very fabric of his being.
He did the best treatment of the Books of Esther and Ruth that I ever heard. Without an intimate knowledge of the Jewish culture and tradition, much of the depth of these books is lost.
The whole of the Bible is to be understood in relationship to the whole of the Bible.
Amen!
