  1. It might be circuitous/tortuous reasoning but here goes: 1) David has adulterous sinful sexual relations with Bathsheba 2) Prophet Nathan confronts David about his sin 3) David feels remorseful, and therefore repents 4) Prophet Nathan does say God forgives David but there are still going to be consequences due to said sexual sin 5) David's eldest son, Amnon, rapes his half-sister, Tamar 6) David hears about the aforementioned rape, but can Only be angry because a) he feels hypocritical due to his own adulterous sinful sexual affair with Bathsheba b) also, David recollects that Prophet Nathan did still say that negative consequences would happen due to David's aforementioned sin **Note:2 Samuel 13:20-22 gives an account of David's anger immediately after the story about Amnon raping Tamar. Let me explain, 2 Samuel 13:20-22 verse was mentioned immediately just after the story of Amnon raping Tamar, and then Tamar being in shame. Furthermore, only later on when we read 2 Samuel 13:23-38 gives account of Absalom's taking revenge by killing Amnon. Finally, as we continue to read past 2 Samuel 15 , we learn that Absalom leads a rebellion or coup d'etat against King David. ** Does anything in 2 Samuel 13:20-22 Hebrew text hint that King David reaction as Only being angry is because of David's own hypocrisy due to adultery? **Interesting Side Note: I suppose a better term to use to describe David's angry reaction would be the term "galling" because David might have felt caught in his own "web of hypocrisy"** 2 Samuel 13:20-22 20 Then Absalom her brother said to her, “Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister, he is your brother; do not take this matter to heart.” So Tamar remained and was desolate in her brother Absalom’s house. 21 Now when King David heard of all these matters, he was very angry. 22 But Absalom did not speak to Amnon either good or bad; for Absalom hated Amnon because he had violated his sister Tamar. 13:21 Hebrew OT: Westminster Leningrad Codex וְהַמֶּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד שָׁמַ֕ע אֵ֥ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים הָאֵ֑לֶּה וַיִּ֥חַר לֹ֖ו מְאֹֽד׃ שמואל ב 13:21 Hebrew OT: WLC (Consonants Only) והמלך דוד שמע את כל־הדברים האלה ויחר לו מאד׃ שמואל ב 13:21 Paleo-Hebrew OT: WLC (Font Required) והמלך דוד שמע את כל־הדברים האלה ויחר לו מאד׃ שמואל ב 13:21 Hebrew Bible והמלך דוד שמע את כל הדברים האלה ויחר לו מאד׃
  2. I was just remembering a dream I had a few years back and I never shared it with anyone but I have remembered it now and then....I would love an interpretation if anyone here has that gift. I was walking up a city sidewalk with Jesus by my side....we were engaged in conversation but I couldn't hear what was being said...there were the usual city streets, city businesses and buildings as what you would see today....the sidewalk we were walking on had a fairly steep incline...there was no traffic on the streets, nor were there any people, the time of day seemed to be around dusk because the sun was going down in the west....as we were walking and talking 3 GOLDEN crosses appeared in the sky...(like the 3 crosses of the crucifixion)....but brilliance of them was so beautiful and bright and I could see golden rays coming out of the middle one which was the largest one and those rays penetrated the other 2 on each side and they began to radiate and shine like the middle one but there were no rays just brilliant gold with....I turned to ask Jesus about them and He wasn't beside me anymore...then I woke up.... I have always wondered what we were talking about....why no one was around...why the crosses appeared and why He left... Thanks.
  3. What does this mean. "John 6:65- no one can come unto me unless my father draw him." I know a lot of this is self explanatory, but there has to be more to this. Why did the disciples that followed him, hearing this, turn back? How do you know if the Father draws you? Thank you
  4. I. Jewish traditions and mystics have over the centuries tried to find inner meanings in the sacred name of the Lord using its letters. The name of the Lord itself is called the Tetragramaton, meaning the "Four Letters". For reference, a fictional movie was made on the topic called "Pi", which related the Name to the Fibonacci sequence. Reverence for the name was shown in the Old Testament period by sometimes replacing YHWH in the Biblical text with Adonai, meaning Lord. Numerous names included references to YHWH, including perhaps the Hebrew name for Jesus, Yeshua, and others like Yehoshua, Yeshayahu. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua) In the New Testament, we find numerous references to the Lord, rather than the name YHWH being explicit. The Lord's name is important in the New Testament, and that name is Jesus, and it is also Yahweh. Note also how Jesus' name is said to come from the Lord in some NT manuscripts: ^ My guess is that the original read like the footnote says, because otherwise this underlined phrasing becomes redundant: "While I was with them in the world,[b]I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept". This passage seems to be suggesting that Jesus ("Yeshua") received Yahweh's name. In looking for an inner meaning in the name YHWH, I am not looking for the plain linguistic meaning (PSHAT), discussed in Moses' talk with the Lord in Exodus 3: By the way, I do not understand what the author means in the underlined bold part above. II. One rare way to interpret the inner meaning of words in Jewish tradition and mysticism has been to use the pictoral meanings and names of the words' letters. This would have actually been the normal way to read the letters had Hebrew been a pictoral language like Chinese, or to some extent Egyptian or Sumerian. However, while retaining traces of development out of pictoral script, ancient Hebrew was not itself relying on a pictoral-based alphabet. The Chabad website has an article deciphering the words for Passover and Pharaoh in Hebrew using the words' original letters' pictoral meanings: This book below gives a long discussion on this inner meaning of Passover. Below is an excerpt: Here is another explanation: III. Using this method with YHWH, the concepts of arm, behold, nail, behold seem to appear. Hebrew letters in the time of David and, before him, the Torah, used an alphabet wherein the letters looked more like the objects they were named after. Hence, the Hebrew letter called "yod" looked more like a "hand" than it does today. According to Jewish Encyclopedia, the letter ' , pronounced y and called "yod" refers to arm/hand. (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/15114-yod) Also, according to the same encyclopedia, the letter l , pronounced w and called "waw" refers to nail/hook. My first problem is the question: What does the original pictogram for Heh/Hey mean? It looked like a man with his arms upraised. Below you can see the Hebrew Letter in its early form: Next here is how the letter looked like in Phoenician and in Middle Hebrew, the script in which David wrote his Psalms. This was before the current Assyrian or "Ashurite" script was adopted. Some possible explanations for the meaning of the letter Heh: A. Creating or taking/giving oneself B. Behold Do you agree with what I underlined in the quote above? C. (The meaning is unknown) D. Behold, breath, or creative breath E. Jubilation, window
  5. I was wondering where the term 'hebrew' originated from, and my questions led me to this web page: http://www.abarim-pu...ml#.UO7BlXf4D6U This is literally lifted off the page: Hebrew Hebrew is a title or nickname rather than a personal name. It was initially given to Abram (Genesis 14:13) but later came to denote the Israelites (1 Samuel 4:6). The word Hebrew comes from the verb (abar) meaning to pass over, through, take away. The first application of this word is in the name Eber. The second application is in the first occurrence of the word , Hebrew in Genesis 14:13, where Abram is called Hebrew. The first case of narrative use of this verb is in the enigmatic cadaver vision of Genesis 15:17, "...there appeared a smoking furnace and a flaming torch that passed between these parts." Other derivations of the verb : The noun (eber) is a very common word that means beyond or across, and is used for all kinds of directions and locations usually in contrast to some other location (1 Samuel 26:13, Nehemiah 2:1); The verb (ebra) uses the root figuratively and means an overflowing of temper: wrath and rage. Sometimes this ebra stems in man (Amos 1:11 - he maintained his fury forever) and sometimes in God (Ps 78:49 - He sent on them the heat of his anger, fury and indignation and trouble); The verb (abar) means to be arrogant or infuriate oneself (Proverbs 14:16, 20:2). (abur) means produce. It is used in Joshua 5:11-12 where the Israelites abandon their diet of manna and begin to eat the yield of Canaan. Identical to the previous word is the preposition (abur), meaning because of, for. This word is always preceded by the particle (be), meaning in or by. HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament explains the relationship with the root as a movement 'from purpose (or cause) to accomplishment (or result).' (ma'abar) passage, such as the passage through the river Jabbok (Genesis 32:23) or the passing of a striking staff (Isaiah 30:32). Similar is the feminine (ma'bara), passage, wady. Hebrew means Passed Over or Transitation or One Who Transits And so, what does this tell us about the Hebrew? Is he one on a constant journey? ever changing from glory to glory as he beholds the face of the Unchanging One? Will there always be something for him to pass over, like an obstacle or difficulty, which is why faith is required of him? Will there always be a passage, road, way before him? The WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE? Which one is he? Or is he all those things? Or more? What do you think??? Please reply with your thoughts
