Here is a Hebrew lesson with a spiritual lesson. The kosher script in Hebrew is very exact. The smallest letter is the letter yod and the smallest part of the yod is the kotz. The kotz is a stylish font. An expendable piece of the letter that is often left off in modern fonts. When Yeshua said that nt one Jot or title will pass away , he actually probably said not a yod nor a kotzo of a yod because he was speaking Hebrew and not Greek. The Kotzo of a yod expression would have been a well known Jewish / Hebrew saying.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
The expression ties in with this passage in Deuteronomy. The Jewish people are like the kotzo of a yod. The seemingly unimportant and expendable part. But because God chose them , they receive honor as the important part.
Deu 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deu 7:7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
In the well known verse concerning blessing Abraham and his seed in Genesis 12 , it uses two different Hebrew words both translated as curse. The first word is arar and God promises to curse (arar ) those who "curse " ( kalal ) Abraham and his seed. The word Arar means curse in the normal sense that we would expect but Kalal means to dishonor by taking lightly. If we have a list of ten things on our tyo do list and we seldom get past the first eight , those extra add on number nine and ten are the kalal. We will get to it when it is convenient. In other words when we ignore the kotzo and treat it as an add on to only pay attention to if it fits into our busy life. This is intentional. God made the Jewish people and Israel to be a kotzo so that we would have to choose for spiritual reasons whether to honor what God has honored. Many Christians are also seemingly kotzos. With little to draw attention and priority in a worldly sense. In extreme examples , this can be what is behind most abortions. It shows up in politics and even in mega churches. The nobody from nowhere who is considered expendable in practical terms. But whom God has called and anointed to play an important role.
Gen 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse ( arar ) him that curseth ( kalal ) thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
So my exhortation in this post is to ask God and tune into what and whom He considers important and chosen. Selah.
