All look familiar? Clearly the Almighty Father of the Son of Man (the Christ, ha Mashiach, al Massih) had a message for us all in making the death of His Son an emblem meaning all those things - hanging on a tree as a sacrifice to pay the debt owed to God. Even the word Messiah which in Hebrew is Mashiach alludes to this word MASH.
