Something I had not seen before. "He (Yeshua) will be great, He will be called Son of HaElyon, Adonai God, will give Him the throne of His forefather David, and he will rule the House of Ya'akov forever - there will be no end to His Kingdom." (CJB) I had not seen the "House of Ya'akov" before. Is this not along the same thought pattern you are expressing above? (I'm never quite sure why sometimes Ya'akov is used and other times Israel. Perhaps you can expound on that sometime?)Rivkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264150619252891314noreply@blogger.com
