WORD STUDY – BLESSING OTHERS
Genesis 12:2-3: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee.” I have heard many Christians who firmly insist that...
WORD STUDY – LA CHAIM (TO LIFE)
Genesis 2:7: “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Remember the song from Fiddler on The Roof? LaChaim. (la – to, chaim – life). What were they celebrating? ...
WORD STUDY – ADAM
Genesis 5:2: “He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam in the day they were created.” “A human being is only called Adam when male and female are as one.” Zohar 1:55b. It is very interesting to note that in his...
WORD STUDY – THE EZRA FAST
Ezra 8:23: So we fast and sought our God for this and He was entreated of us.” Ezra was leading the captives back to Israel. Before the journey he proclaims a fast for a safe journey. Ezra was facing a little problem. The Persian king sanctioned this move...
WORD STUDY – ALUKAH (VAMPIRE)
Proverbs 30:15-16: “The leech has two daughters, “Give,” “Give.” There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say: “Enough.” Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth, that is never satisfied with water and fire that never says: “Enough.” ...
WORD STUDY – INHERIT THE WIND
Proverbs 11:29: He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart. Back in 1955 Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee wrote a play which was a fictionalized account of the Scopes trial. They used the...
WORD STUDY – PREPARE ONES HEART (BEYOND THE DALETH)
Ezra 7:10: “For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.” You read about Ezra and the word that comes to mind is fanatic. This old boy devoted himself to the Word of God. Jewish...
WORD STUDY – JACOB OR ISRAEL
Ezekiel 39:25, 29: (25)”Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Now will I bring the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name.” (29) “Neither will I hide my face anymore from them, for I have poured out my...
WORD STUDY – MOPHETH (MIRACLE OR CREDIBILITY)
Exodus 7:9: “When Pharaoh says to you: ‘Prove yourself by working a miracle.’ It is interesting to note that the word for prove here is not nacah which means to prove. The writer is using the word Nathan. This was another vocabulary word that I found easy to...
WORD STUDY – THE MARK
Ezekiel 9:6: “Go after him through the city and strike: Let not your eye spare, neither have pity, slay utterly: the old men, the young men, both maiden and little children and women. But come not near any person upon whom is the mark. And begin at my sanctuary.”...
