Aramaic Primacy in the East

[tobiyah]

Shlama,


I would like to comment here, In Judaism

I have noticed in Peshitta that the term "Ammo", with two mems, is used in exchange for the word Goy[im]. And the Hebrew cognate Am[o] is used for "people." So while, yes these are generic terms, within biblical literature, "The Nations" have a negative usage they are likened to Dogs in Tehilim 59:7-9 and Matti 15:26, and are considered different from Israel and the Jewish people. Yeshua even picks up on some of this language and calls a Gentile woman a dog! Paul is the Sheliach to "The nations." Paul being a student of Rabban Gamaliel, knew full well the distinctions and differences. In fact in the Biblical Text Israel is called an "Am Segulah" a chosen and peculiar treasure to Hashem. This May help explain what Paul is talking about in Romans 9-11.

It is part of the prophetic mystery, hope, expectation and messianic age for the nations to be reconciled with Israel, and Israel was to be a Light to the Nations Or L'Goyim (Zechariah 14 and Yeshiahu 49:6) , That was the message, Abraham become a new nation created a peoplehood that would be a light to the nations and would brith new souls which is suggested by him "Making souls at Padam haram." To blur that distinction is to miss the message of the Tenakh, K'tava Kadisha, and Besorah. Just food for thought.

So in the case of the woman he reconsiled her and healed her daughter. Showing he didn't believe her to be a dog but rather someone worthy of a blessing. He gave an example to the desciples that she was not cast off and therefore when they where scattered they were to show the same compassion.

From another perspective when he said destroy this temple and in 3 days I will build it up. Each day is as a thousand years. As the nations came in and tore down the temple by merging with paganism. It is interesting that now is the 3rd day and there is an explosion of those studying the original writings and turning back to the old paths to live in them. So the nations are seeing that many things they were taught are not supported by scripture and neither did yahweh command them to do that at any time.

Because of this it is a light to the nations and preparing the way for both to have a pure worship based on the word alone.

I find this a very exciting time to be alive. At time when paganism will no longer be exalted as truth above the express written word of yahweh. A time when the true followers will be filled with the divine breath\mind\character.

shalom
