Deuteronomy 4:7For what great nation is there, that has a deity so near to them, as Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] is whenever we call on him?
Psalms 27:8When you said, “Seek my face,” 2 my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Adonai.” 1
Psalms 34:19+ 34:19 (19-20) MP: In the context of Messiah’s death, because of his righteousness, God protects him from complete disaster. Consider the parallel, the Pesac ·Passover· lamb’s bones are not broken either (Ex 12:46). (Rom 8:10-11; Heb 4:15-16) Note: It is profitable to notice two other prophecies concerning His bones which undoubtedly had an exact fulfillment, although such is not stated in Scripture in so many words. We draw our conclusions from honest inference. (1) (Ps 22:14) “All my bones are out of joint.” Hanging on the cross by the hands and feet will easily disjoint the bones, especially when we remember that the body was fixed to the frame while lying on the ground. (2) (Ps 22:17) “I can count all of my bones.” He was left hanging on the cross naked (John 19:23) and all His bones could thus easily be seen. The extension of the body and the wasting pangs of crucifixion will make the bones more prominent than usual. ר Many are the afflictions of the righteous, 2 but Adonai delivers him out of them all. 1
Psalms 95:7for he is our God. 2 We are the people of his pasture, 2 and the sheep in his care. 1 + 95:7 c MPr: If Israel did penitence only one day (or else properly observed even one Sabbath), the Messiah the Son of David would immediately come. Larger context reads God says this to Israel, “My son, open to Me a door of repentance even small as a needle’s eye (small door of city gate), and I will open to you doors wide enough for carriages and wagons and I shall come in.” (Ps 95:7c in Midrash Exodus 25). (Rev 3:19) Today, oh that you would sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice! 2

( b. c. 706.) 1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting… Read the whole commentary →
