Zebulun NS Naphtali
Zebulun NS Naphtali Isaiah 9:2 Excerpt With typical Hebrew parallelism the prophet described the effect of the Messiah on this northern part of Israel. The people were in darkness ( cf . 8:22 ) and in the shadow of death. Then they saw a great light and light...dawned on them. Matthew applied this passage to Jesus , who began His preaching and healing ministry in that region ( Matt. 4:15-16 ).
