In Context

6+ 14:6. MPr: The King in (Psalm 21:1) is King Messiah. (Targum Ps 21:1). This same King is linked to (Is 11:10), where Rabbi Chanina explains the objective of the Messiah. King Messiah is to give specific commandments to the Gentiles. This is in parallel contrast to Israel, who receives commands directly from God himself. (Midrash Ps 21:1 (Heb Bible 21:2)). (Ps 21:1 (Heb Bible 21:2)) Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “ Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to haAbba ·the Father·, except through me.

8Philip [Loves horses] said to him, “Lord, show us haAbba ·the Father·, and that will be enough for us.”
