![]() The translators simply did not understand what to do with it, so they omitted it. The Hebrew word omitted in this verse is actually not a real word at all and thus the reason for the omission of a translation to the English language. The 4th word of the original Hebrew text is a word that has been completely omitted from the English translation and this one word reveals Jesus in this verse in a very profound way. Did you know Jesus was Hidden in this verse in Genesis by the Author? However, unless you read and study it in the original Hebrew language you probably did not specifically know this. Let’s start with Genesis 1:1, where it says “In the beginning God created, the heaven and the earth”. Before, we start, I pray that the eyes of your understanding be opened and enlightened to see God’s truth. I will focus only on the first two chapters of Genesis and you will certainly be amazed if you can see it. This lesson will focus on the hidden Jesus in Genesis and I will give you at least three really good examples of Him that maybe you have not seen before. The rest of this lesson will be about something that I have blogged on before, but maybe not in this direct context and under this specific title. They did not know Him like we can know Him so it is much easier for us to discover Jesus in the hidden verses in O.T. For Christians who know Jesus personally, they have a much greater advantage over the people in Jesus’ days on the earth. I would guess that it is extremely more difficult to see what you do not know personally exists. Why is this, I asked myself? I can see Jesus in the Old Testament, why couldn’t they see Jesus in the same way? That of course is a really good question to consider. The Jewish people preserved them and cared for them and then when the author of the book appeared before them in the flesh they killed him. The Law of Moses was given to Israel on Mt Sinai and they carried these words for many hundreds of years. The Bible contains literally many hidden secrets about Jesus and these concealed clues were placed there by our Heavenly Father for us (His children) to search and discover. This is a key concept that is needed to fully grasp about the words found in the Old Testament. The purpose of hiding eggs is not to keep the children from ever finding the candy but it does simply create a challenge for them that provides the parents the pleasure of seeing the excitement derived from their discovery. For example, why do parents hide Easter eggs for their young children? Is it to protect the candy from being discovered? No actually it is more for the fun of seeing their children search for them with eager expectations of finding them. This would also indicate that the information about Jesus was purposely hidden either from someone or for someone like us to find. If we are required to become a “Sherlock Holmes” type of Christian doing a search of the written word in order to find these facts, that would mean that this information is not always clearly presented on the initial surface reading. Jesus also clearly informed us that we needed to search the scriptures to find this information. God claims that the Old Testament contained hidden information about who Jesus was and what He is going to accomplish before He was done. We should be able to clearly see what God is saying about the purpose of the Bible. So God’s claim in this verse appears to indicate that the Bible is an expert witness for God’s case that He is presenting to us about the existence of Jesus Christ and His true identity. An expert witness in a court case is someone who can speak with a certain level of authority on the specific related subject about the case. A witness in a court of law is someone who comes in and testifies about what they know, what they have seen or for something as an expert that is relevant and pertains to the case in question. Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.Ī witness is someone who testifies in court of law. Please read with me this statement spoken by the Almighty God personally to humans: These are such tremendously important words that we (Christians) need to grasp and fully understand what they say and what they mean. (Ver 1.5) Jesus makes a very profound and awesome statement in the Gospels while He was speaking to the people of the natural nation of Israel. ![]()
