Exodus 2:1: And there went a man from the house of Levi, and took as a wife a daughter of Levi. 2 And the woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months 3 And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of wicker, and coated it with slime and with pitch, and put the child inside; and she laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. And his sister stood far off, to know what would happen to him. 5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her female servant walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the reeds. The ark first began with NOACH and develops as Biblical events unfold: bulrushes with MOSHE, the tabernacle – an ark preserving Israel, the belly of the whale – a womb of life carrying Jonah bringing new beginnings to the people of Nineveh, and here a seed carrier floating down the river bringing freedom to a nation. she sent her servant to get it. [Women thwart the plan of Pharaoh.] 6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child; and, see, the baby wept. And she had compassion on him and said, This is one of the Hebrews children. 7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call for you a nurse from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you? 8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the servant/Alamah/עַלְמָה went and called the child’s mother. Judaism denies the virgin birth! Yet there is no instance where it can be proved that this word designates a young woman who is not a virgin. Servant – Virgin “Alamah –Almah is the word used in Isaiah 7:14. 7X in the TaNaKh, never disputed until after Yeshua. 70 Jewish Rabbis translated Almah in the LXX as Parthenos – virgin – hundreds of years before Yahusha. Parthenos ALWAYS MEANS VIRGIN. Remember the LXX is a JEWISH TRANSLATION written in the PRE-CHRISTIAN Alexandria, Egypt. It represents an unbiased JEWISH interpretation of Isaiah 7:14 that is much earlier than Matthew’s use of the same word parthenos when referring back to the Isaiah 7:14 passage (Matt.1: 23). So the context MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE VIRGIN IS PREGNANT BUT STILL A VIRGIN!” Judaism’s modern (2000 years) modern position is Betulah means virgin! But there’s a problem with that line of reasoning Betulah doesn’t necessarily mean virgin: Dev 22:14.And makes abusive charges against her, and brings up an evil name upon her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a virgin. There are references in the Torah where betulah is used to speak of a woman who has already had intercourse on her wedding night (betullat Yisrael, a virgin of Israel Deut 22:19) and another woman who is a married child bearing woman and becomes a widow is also called a betulah (Joel 1). Rashi on Isaiah 7:14: “Behold the Alamah shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel. This means our Creator will be with us. And this is the sign: the one who shall conceive is a girl who never in her life has had intercourse with any man.” Apostles Creed 100CE – no dual nature – God-man doctrine had set in! Nicean Creed 325CE – dual nature leaven had set about leaving the lump – “made man.” Anthanasian Creed 500CE – dual nature leaven had fully leavened the whole lump – “made of the substance of His mother.” Jn. 10: 30. Even the Jews couldn’t comprehend His flesh was from יהוה. ‘I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.’ Being hoodwinked into the Trinity is another contributing factor to why so many are ‘weak in the faith, and die’ with a diminished belief; less vibrant than when they started…Why? By ‘not discerning the Masters body’. 1 Cor. 11:26. Duality of Power NOT persons – two powers abide eternally as one. John 14:28 Yahshua declares that “pater meizon mou” or “the Father is greater than me”. Duality of Power NOT
