Los cristianos creen que Jesús, el Mesías, es Dios. Mi pregunta es: ¿Cuál es la base bíblica en las profecías mesiánicas y otros pasajes del Antiguo Testamento para creer que el Mesías debe ser Dios?
He leído esto: " ¿Por qué el Mesías tiene que ser Dios? " Pero estoy buscando la base bíblica en el AT de la creencia de que Jesús debe ser Dios.
En el Antiguo Testamento hay dos líneas generales de profecía comúnmente leídas por los cristianos acerca del Mesías que había de venir:
El judaísmo generalmente acepta la primera clase de profecía sobre el Mesías profetizado, pero no la segunda. Y una lectura estricta del Antiguo Testamento para los pasajes que mencionan un "ungido" (hebreo: מָשִׁיחַ mashiyach ) y un rey en la línea de David generalmente respalda esta interpretación, aunque hay algunos pasajes que pueden leerse como encajando en ambas clases . de la profecía a la vez.
Los cristianos comúnmente aceptan que la segunda clase de profecías también trata sobre el Mesías venidero, incluso cuando no están específicamente relacionadas con la venida de un rey ungido en la línea de David.
Aquí hay algunos ejemplos de profecías que caen en esta segunda clase, o abarcan ambas clases:
En los Salmos:
Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
(Psalm 24:7–10)
En Isaías:
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who lived in a land of deep darkness—
on them light has shined.
You have multiplied the nation,
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with joy at the harvest,
as people exult when dividing plunder.
For the yoke of their burden,
and the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of Midian.
For all the boots of the tramping warriors
and all the garments rolled in blood
shall be burned as fuel for the fire.
For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders;
and he is named
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
His authority shall grow continually,
and there shall be endless peace
for the throne of David and his kingdom.
He will establish and uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time onward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
(Isaiah 9:2–7)
Y otro en Isaías:
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him
that there was no justice.
He saw that there was no one,
and was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
so his own arm brought him victory,
and his righteousness upheld him.
He put on righteousness like a breastplate,
and a helmet of salvation on his head;
he put on garments of vengeance for clothing,
and wrapped himself in fury as in a mantle.
According to their deeds, so will he repay;
wrath to his adversaries, requital to his enemies;
to the coastlands he will render requital.
So those in the west shall fear the name of the Lord,
and those in the east, his glory;
for he will come like a pent-up stream
that the wind of the Lord drives on.
And he will come to Zion as Redeemer,
to those in Jacob who turn from transgression, says the Lord.
(Isaiah 59:15–20)
Y otro más en Isaías:
"Who is this that comes from Edom,
from Bozrah in garments stained crimson?
Who is this so splendidly robed,
marching in his great might?"
"It is I, announcing vindication,
mighty to save."
"Why are your robes red,
and your garments like theirs who tread the wine press?"
"I have trodden the wine press alone,
and from the peoples no one was with me;
I trod them in my anger
and trampled them in my wrath;
their juice spattered on my garments,
and stained all my robes.
For the day of vengeance was in my heart,
and the year for my redeeming work had come.
I looked, but there was no helper;
I stared, but there was no one to sustain me;
so my own arm brought me victory,
and my wrath sustained me.
I trampled down peoples in my anger,
I crushed them in my wrath,
and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth."
I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord,
the praiseworthy acts of the Lord,
because of all that the Lord has done for us,
and the great favor to the house of Israel
that he has shown them according to his mercy,
according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
For he said, "Surely they are my people,
children who will not deal falsely";
and he became their savior
in all their distress.
It was no messenger or angel
but his presence that saved them;
in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
(Isaiah 63:1–9)
En Jeremías:
"The days are coming," declares the Lord,
"when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch,
a King who will reign wisely
and do what is just and right in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.
This is the name by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior."
(Jeremiah 23:5–6)
En Malaquías:
Mira, envío a mi mensajero para que prepare el camino delante de mí, y el Señor a quien buscas vendrá repentinamente a su templo. (Malaquías 3:1)
Estos son solo algunos de los muchos pasajes del Antiguo Testamento que los cristianos leen como aplicables al Mesías profetizado y diciendo que el Mesías no será un mero ser humano, sino Dios mismo.
Los pasajes claros del AT que Dios Todopoderoso afirma ser Jesús son:
*Malaquías 3:1
Enviaré a mi mensajero, quien preparará el camino delante de MÍ. Entonces DE REPENTE el Señor que buscas vendrá a su templo; vendrá el mensajero del pacto que vosotros deseáis, dice el Señor de los ejércitos.
Esto solo lo deja muy claro: el Señor mismo vendrá y dará la señal de Su venida como el mensajero que enviará para preparar el camino JUSTO antes de que Él llegue. Más tarde lo llama Elías (a quien Jesús aclaró como Juan el Bautista). ¿Quién apareció de repente durante el tiempo de Juan el Bautista? Jesús.
El versículo está respaldado por Isaías y Marcos Isa 40:3
Una voz clama: Abrid camino a Jehová en el desierto; allanad calzada en la soledad a nuestro Dios.
Isaías lo lleva a un nivel superior al llamarlo (Jesús) Dios, pero no solo eso, en otro lugar lo confirma al llamar a Jesús el padre/hijo/espíritu santo.
*Isaías 9:6
Porque un niño nos nacerá, un hijo nos será dado; Y el gobierno reposará sobre Sus hombros; Y se llamará Su nombre Admirable Consejero, Dios Fuerte, Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.
Dios Fuerte significa Dios Fuerte / Príncipe de paz significa Hijo / Padre Eterno significa Padre eterno / Admirable consejero significa Espíritu Santo.
Aparte de lo anterior, tenemos enlace directo/admisión en:
*Zacharia 12:10
Derramaré sobre la casa de David y sobre los habitantes de Jerusalén, Espíritu de gracia y de oración, para que miren a Mí, a quien traspasaron; y llorarán por Él, como quien se lamenta por un hijo único, y llorarán amargamente por Él como el llanto amargo por un primogénito.
Dios Todopoderoso admite que será crucificado (traspasado).
Depende de cómo quieras interpretar el Antiguo Testamento. Pero no encontrarás un texto en el Antiguo Testamento que diga que el mesías es Dios. Por eso los judíos esperan un mesías que sea un ser humano normal.
