My former commentary does still hold, since there is no recognized official orthodox Jewish teaching or tradition of the Messiah arising from the dead on the 3rd day, although one can allegorize one passage of a 3rd day 'rising', but the context here is speaking of Isreal or a community as a whole (in Hosea).
Okay, but I don't see what this is specifically relating to, especially regarding Michael. In any case, nothing about a 3rd day resurrection of an 'anointed one'
I use the word or term 'God' in its most essential, universal, metaphysical sense....who is pure Spirit, primal Awareness, Infinite Intelligence, Omnipresence. In this sense,....as I've engaged B57,...my proposition that only 'God' is 'God' holds - see here (and follow all former commentary linked). - on this count the 'fun' is in challenging the specific claim that a particular person named 'Jesus' is 'God'(proper), when Jesus is his particular form is limited BY THAT FORM, as being the 'Son of Man' and 'Son of God',...it is a limitation by generation or creation, since a 'Son' is always the offspring of a 'Father', no matter how you might divinitize, mythologize or embellish the human character you're exalting. The Universal Father always maintains PRIMACY, hence only the Universal Father is the First Source and Center of all that exists,....as we use the term in the Urantia Papers.
Awesome,...I am ever regularly repping others to keep the karmic wheel of good deeds and positive gestures flowing, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Love naturally flows that way. My religious studies and spiritual journey naturally aligns me with the great Vedic tradition and Indian culture, so that the blessing of 'namaste' flows from the heart, as the divine in me recognizes/honors and greets the divine you, which is essentially 'God' recognizing 'God', since when we see each other in the light of pure consciousness,...all there is....is 'God'. 'God' is the ever radiating LIGHT of Being, and my most essential Self(identity) is non-different from that eternal/infinite Source, as pure Spirit (original and all-permeating Awareness). Hence we say in the Vedic tradition, "I Am That",...there is no difference, separation from the 'atman' (soul) and 'God' ('Brahman'). 'God' looks out from you and me and recognizes himself...since there is no other 'Light' existing. Besides 'God' there is no 'other'. There is Only The Universal One, and this is the heart of non-duality, meaning "not two". 'God' who is One, is All There Is.
Anyways......'God' is the only one now reading these words,...remember...there is no 'other'!

After all of that information in the first section I cannot fathom how you might think your former statements still hold water, (concerning where it is written that Messiah would rise in the third day according to the Scriptures).

In addition to all of those things it is written that when the Father brings again the Prototokos (Yisrael) into the Land, He says: Let the heavens rejoice together with him, and let all the angels of Elohim bow in honor to him: let the nations rejoice with his people, and let all the angels of Elohim be strengthened in him; for the blood of the sons thereof he shall avenge, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him, and YHWH shall thoroughly cleanse the Land of His people." Therefore Elohim Yisrael is the only Sar strengthening his fellows, (cf. Daniel 10:21 YLT).

Ah well, I tried, but we probably do agree on much though it seems there is some difference in our usage of the word "God". You appear to mean THE ONLY GOD, (which I say is the Father YHWH) while the Scripture uses "Elohim", (God) in a much broader application.

I tried to rep you but it says I must spread some love around to others before reping you again! Anyways I once met someone else at another forum who used to greet with Namaste all the time; delightful person as I remember.
