Yeshua [Jesus] in old testament times.... Personification of the Word. MEMRA - JewishEncyclopedia.com
Jewish Rabbi Gershom Scholem states
...the MEMRA-- the paraphrase used in the Targumim, the Aramaic Bible translations, to refer to Elohim's MEMRA. The memra is not merely a linguistic device for overcoming the problem of biblical anthropomorphism; it has theological significance in its own right. The memra....is.... a world-permeating force, a reality in the world of matter or mind, the immanent aspect of Elohim, holding all things under its omnipresent sway.
Sounds like Jesus to me.
The MEMRA of the Lord, the children of Israel had required the strictest obedience to the MEMRA of the Lord
Deuteronomy 28:1, 2:
"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy Elohim, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy Elohim will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy Elohim."
Onkelos has this paraphrase upon these MEMRAs:
"And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently to the MEMRA of the Lord thy Elohim, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command thee this day, the Lord thy Elohim will set thee on high above all nations on the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken to the MEMRA of the Lord thy Elohim."
In case of disobedience to the MEMRA of the Lord, Moses threatens that all the curses of the Law should come upon the people as Onkelos paraphrases in Deuteronomy 28:15
We read the covenant with Noah in Genesis 9:17: "And Elohim said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which, I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth."
Which Onkelos thus paraphrases: "And the Lord said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant which I have established between My MEMRA, and between all flesh that is upon the earth."
and with Moses Genesis 17:7: "And I will establish my covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a Elohim unto thee, and to thy seed after thee."
Paraphrased by Onkelos: "And I will establish my covenant between My MEMRA and between thee,
There is no salvation but in the MEMRA of the Lord
Isaiah 45:17, 25: "But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation...In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory."
Jonathan ben Uziel renders this passage thus: "Israel shall be saved in the MEMRA of the Lord with an everlasting salvation...In the MEMRA of the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and (in the MEMRA of the Lord) they shall glory."
Saved by MEMRA
Hosea 1:7: "But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the Lord their Elohim."
This Jonathan ben Uziel paraphrases: "But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and I will save them by the MEMRA of the Lord their Elohim."
Matthew 11:27, "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him";
Matthew 28:18, "And Yeshua came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth";
Ephesians 1:20-23, "Which he wrought in Messiah, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filled all in all";
Philippians 2:8-11, "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore Elohim also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Yeshua Messiah is Lord, to the glory of Elohim the Father,"
The Almighty has revealed Himself in no other than in the Metatron, the KEEPER of Israel
It follows that if God has revealed Himself in the uncreated, self-existing WORD (Memra), which is also called the ANGEL of the Covenant, who is the Metatron, that the Almighty has revealed Himself in the KEEPER of Israel. This was also the faith of our ancestors:
Zohar, vol. iii. p. 231 The garment of the Almighty is the Metatron.or a better paraphrase of what Zohar is saying is that Jesus is the flesh of God.
2 Corinthians 5:19, "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation";
1 Timothy 3:16, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.:
Jesus is God Himself. That is why Jews cannot relate to the three in one God of Christianity..

YHVH never made a covenant with any of the Patriarchs except through the mediation of the MEMRA of the Lord.
