Many people believe that the hypostatic union was a late Greek
philosophical invention imposed at the Council of Chalcedon in 451
AD. But Zechariah 12:10, written 500 years before Christ, contains
a grammatical impossibility in the original Hebrew that no rabbi
has ever fully explained. The Lord God speaks in the first person:
"They shall look on me whom they have pierced." Then in the same
clause the text shifts: "they shall mourn for him."
Me. Then him. In one sentence. The divine nature and the human
nature, one speaker and one victim, joined in a single verse. The
Jewish scribes preserved this anomaly for 2,000 years even when
they could not explain it. The Babylonian Talmud in Sukkah 52a
debated a suffering Messiah but could not resolve why God says me.
Chalcedon did not invent the mystery. It named what Zechariah had
already seen.
