Jesus has an unbreakable bond with both Rachel and Mary to this day .Both know Him through their own pain and suffering. It's a shame that they say God is a God of men when they fail to see both of these women and what they mean to God.One mother of Jewish nation the other mother of the Saviour Jesus Christ the Saviour of Jewish nation and through Jews salvation of the world .No mothers no nation no nation no Saviour no Saviour no salvation no salvation no heaven .
Yes! Many Layers of meaning in the place God choose to be Born! The word Bethlehem means “House of Bread.” Jesus called Himself the “Bread of Life” (John 6:35). So, it was fitting that The Bread of Life was born in the House of Bread! You covered Rachael and the parallel to Mary. The mother of Israel "God's people" The name Rachael is of Hebrew origin. The meaning of Rachael is "ewe, female sheep". Rachael is generally used as a girl's name. It consists of 7 letters and 3 syllables and is pronounced Ra-cha-al. Death in childbirth. Rachel died while giving birth to Benjamin. Before she died, she said that the child should be named Ben-oni, or "son of my pain.". Jacob insisted on giving the child the name of Benjamin, or "son of my right hand.". (the history on the tribe of Benjamin www.israel-a-history-of.com/tribe-of-benjamin.html) The prophecy in Jeremiah comes true when Herod has all males toddlers and infants killed because he was jealous of the Jesus Birth. Jeremiah 31:15 Mourning Turned to Joy …14 I will fill the souls of the priests abundantly, and will fill My people with My goodness,” declares the LORD. 15This is what the LORD says: “A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing consolation, because they are no more.” 16 This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy. Matt 2:18 The Slaughter of Infants …17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: 18“A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and refusing consolation, because they are no more.” 19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt. Mary name means (Hebrew) "wished-for child; rebellion; sea of bitterness". Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Behold, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed- and a sword will pierce your soul too - so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’ - Luke 2:34-35. (protestant Bible translations have turned that prophecy around from the original. However this is the original in that order.) It means more than our brethren realize! It is layered as well. The second part of Jeremiah's prophecy is here too. ( From above passage: Jeremiah 16 This is what the LORD says: “Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward for your work will come, declares the LORD. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy.) The other woman associated with Bethlehem in The Holy Bible is Ruth. Interesting she was a gentile. Ruth, is the title character of the Book of Ruth. In the narrative, she is not an Israelite but rather is from Moab; she marries an Israelite. Both her husband and her father-in-law die, and she helps her mother-in-law, Naomi, find protection. The two of them travel to Bethlehem together, where Ruth wins the love of Boaz through her kindness. The Bible says Ruth clung to Naomi and uttered her now-famous words: "Where you go I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God" (Ruth 1:16). Once they reached Bethlehem, Naomi and Ruth sought food by gleaning grain from the field of a kinsman, Boaz. Boaz offered Ruth protection and food. When Ruth asked why she, a foreigner, should receive such kindness, Boaz replied that he had learned of Ruth's faithfulness to her mother-in-law, and he prayed that the God of Israel would bless Ruth for her loyalty. Naomi then contrived to marry Ruth to Boaz by invoking her kinship with him. She sent Ruth to Boaz at night to offer herself to him, but the upright Boaz refused to take advantage of her. Instead, he helped Naomi and Ruth negotiate some rituals of inheritance, after which he married Ruth. Soon they had a son, Obed, who fathered a son Jesse, who was the father of David, who became king of a unified Israel. When Jesus came He announces He is The Bread that comes down from heaven and He offers not only The Jews salvation but the gentiles too. Ruth definition: compassion for the misery of another The name Ruth in Hebrew: Companion; friend; vision of beauty. This is so rich in meaning. I have been desiring to really have a good Bible study on the Old Testament women and Mary. And the Jesus with Jacob/Israel, David, and many more. The Passover and The Holy Mass.
Dude, this is great. Praise God. PS: You sound very similar to Michael Barber. Was listening to Michael on podcast and thought it was you for the longest time lol
This reminds me of the travail my mom had during my birth... i was hardly 2 when i heard this from her sister... I was told only one of us could be saved, because the umbilical had tangled around my neck and they were unable to reach to me... so my mom decided that i be saved as her last word to the staff in the hospital... the nurse called out to the doctor and begged not to give up on either of us... when they finally managed to get me out... i was blue black in colour and still born... the umbilical chord was tangled 3 and 1/2 times around my neck... it took them a few minutes of dipping me in water, slapping/rubbing my back and spine to revive me to life... The umbilical chord around my neck is the count of times she fell when she was pregnant with me... one incident mom spoke of: when she tried to cross a gutter, a stone tripped her legs... she was to fall face front on her womb.. but she had a miracle... she felt a hand (invisible person), take her weight and turn her to the side in that split second... she fell to her side instead of falling over on her stomach... she said it was a surprise she had no scratches on her even for that fall... even as kids we know of scraped skins when we trip over something... My uncle (mom's favorite) saw me first and he had a close encounter with death... so all men were stopped from seeing me till mom's mom made them to look at my face (as a mirror) through a plate of oil... That uncle was the strongest but managed to keep away from me till the end of his life... he spoke for the first time, 3 months before his death... He had the grace from OUR LADY for his faith towards her was unshakable like my mom's and his mom and others in my family... met with quite a few life threatening situation but was saved, even when he was pulled into the sea by a huge octopus in velankanni.. he came out with the octopus swimming against it's strength and the fishermen saved him... the octopus had caught him from behind and he had those marks on his back and chest with a few needles from it's suction caps for a few weeks (guess).. he was that strong... There are many miracles mom witnessed each time she was close to death... i was by her side, but she said as she prayed for healing she felt the same healing touch of this GENTLE, SOFT hands with assurance on the place of her sickness and she got back her life every time... i know of 3 counts including the one I mentioned above... but she had been in worse conditions more than that and i was always with her... except the last days (20 to 27) of her death... I can speak of the miracles each in my family (who had firm faith in Mary)... this is not the right place... some like the uncle (mom's favorite) and mom's mom and dad were aware of their deaths ahead if time...
I'm confused, Dr. Pitre: wasn't Rebecca the mother of Jacob? You say Rachel was the mother of Israel (originally Jacob). Was that a slip or you meant it in a different way?
Yes, Rebecca was his mother and Rachael was his wife. The Mother and the wife have both contributed to the heritage although in different generations through Jacob aka Israel.

In that scripture Yehoshua asked that they whom His Father had given Him would be watched over by His Father for they were now the Son's beloved children in union with him as he was in union with his Father that they would all be one in union together.

Surely no human can begin to imagine how our Heavenly Father was and is eternal, Never having a beginning and being the source of life eternal that will give everlasting life to obedient mankind who honour God the Father and God the Son?

I don't exactly fit in cities. Cuz ally fily home Zion. It's Christmas return after your travail so I got. Big release. Seein glimpse where I am and going back In ! Town starts inside after Christmas. Needed you to birth Christ and I let marry
Wait. Rachel did bear Benjamin but she did not bear Judah. Israel's other wife Leah did. Judah carries the blessing, the line of Messiah, not Ben or any of Rachel's sons. In fact Leah is the mother of true Israel not Rachel. This allegory is quite dangerous-stick to the Bible.
Like many allegories, it seems only useful to a point. Bottom line is Micah wrote what he wrote, and seems to make the connection between Rachel and the future Messiah. I suppose it could be coincidental, but givem the name of the town used and the repeat of the word 'travail,' that seems doubtful to me.
One thing we should remember is we most likely have a limited cultural understanding of 'back then, over there.' I have heard Rachel referred to as mother of sorrows before. Micah was a product of 'over there, not quite as far back,' so we shouldn't presume we understand everything as he meant it.
True. Micah said what he said so we ought ask him who is "she who is in labor" 5.3. He told us in 4.9 &10, the one "like a woman in labor" is Rachel/ Mary? Who is he speaking of but Israel. Respectfully this is strained.
@@paulmiller3469 As for presuming what Micah meant... isn't that what you witnessed in the extreme in this video. Where has the RCC officially defined this passage? Is this private interpretation? Honest question.
