The Hermeneutics of Convergence: The Resurrection of Israel as the Structural Bridge to a Third Testament
Western biblical exegesis traditionally treats the Old and New Testaments as a closed, two-part dialog, viewing subsequent monotheistic developments through a lens of rupture rather than structural continuity. This paper introduces the "Hermeneutics of Convergence," shifting from an atomized interpretive framework to a macro-historical, global evaluation of scriptural architecture. By executing a text-critical tracking of the "Corporate Son" (the Josephite birthright as distinct from the lineage of Judah), the study explores how the macro-prophetic pattern of exile, death, and national restoration bridges the Hebrew Bible and Christian Gospels directly into the Qur'an as a structural third testament. Ultimately, the paper provides a cohesive blueprint for universal moral scrutiny and radical intercultural reconciliation.
