Somehow I overlooked this gem:
Someone helping someone in elementary school definitely is not on a high horse.
Steefen: You telling Robert you don’t have time to teach him remedial Bible studies, likening him to one in elementary school in need of your help, is–put with far more delicacy than you merit–you being on a high horse.
I see what the problem is here. Mark 5:27-28 is the wrong verses.
Mark 5:29 is the verse in common with Malachi 4:2. The lexical form root words in common are ιασις (action noun) and ιαομαι (middle voice verb). Both are defined in the lexicons as healing.
If Malachi 4:2 is accepted as a prophecy about the messiah being a healer, then of course the healings of Jesus mentioned in the NT could be understood as a fulfillment of that prophecy. But the Sun of Righteousness also burns all the arrogant and evildoers to death so Malachi 4 was not fully fulfilled I guess.
το σημειον
ο αστηρ
Astrology interpretation
Malachi 4:2 = Matthew 2:2, Matthew 10:34, and Matthew 24:30
The sign σημειον is the star αστηρ (astro). The coming of the son of man was the astrological event seen over Jerusalem in 70AD.
From Josephus book 6, chapter 1, paragraph 5: For what man of virtue is there who does not know, that those souls which are severed from their fleshly bodies in battles by the sword, are received by the ether, that purest of elements, and joined to that company which are placed among the stars: that they become good demons, and propitious heroes; and shew themselves, as such, to their posterity afterwards? ** you do not have permission to see this link **
Josephus says “Thus there was a star, resembling a sword, which stood over the city: and a comet, that continued a whole year.” The sword is mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 10:34.
