Jude 5, the Preincarnate Christ, and the Exodus
Who delivered Israel from Egypt? Obviously it was God but was it the whole God head or a specific person of the Trinity? In this episode, we study Jude 5 and explore the staggering claim that it was Jesus—the preincarnate Word—who saved Israel from slavery in Egypt. Drawing from the ancient Aramaic Targumim, the Greek New Testament, and key passages from Exodus and John, we examine how Jesus is not only the incarnate Son but also the very God who spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Join us as we uncover the rich theological thread connecting the Angel of the Lord, the Memra (Word), and the incarnate revelation of God to Jesus of Nazareth.
