Скачать или смотреть Matthew's Use of Hosea 11:1, Part 1 | Response to Rabbi Tovia Singer

Did Matthew take Hosea 11:1 out of context when he said, “Out of Egypt I called my son”? Rabbi Tovia Singer argues that Matthew misused the Hebrew Bible — but a closer look shows that Matthew understood Hosea far better than his critics realize.

Hosea does speak of the first exodus under Moses, but he also teaches that this historical event points forward to a greater exodus — one led by the Messiah, the true Son of God. The “old exodus” becomes the pattern for a future salvation when God will bring His people out of spiritual Egypt once again, through the Son of David who leads them home.

In this video, we’ll explore:

How Hosea uses Egypt and Assyria as archetypes for the enemies of God’s people

Why the prophets often portray exile and salvation in “exodus” language

How Hosea 3:4–5 links the new exodus with the coming of David’s greater Son

Why Matthew 2:15’s use of Hosea 11:1 is a theologically faithful reading of Hosea’s message

How this demonstrates that Jesus is the promised Messiah who fulfills Israel’s story

Far from twisting the Old Testament, Matthew reveals the deep unity of Scripture — that the Son called out of Egypt in Hosea’s prophecy is the Son of God who redeems His people in the final, climactic exodus.
