Immanuel
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words עִם (im, "with"), אֲנַחְנוּ (anu, "us"), and אֵל (El, "God").
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1694 (Ἐμμανουήλ, Emmanouel)
Usage: The name "Immanuel" means "God with us." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to signify the presence of God among His people. The name is a prophetic sign of hope and divine intervention, indicating that God is actively involved in the lives of His people, providing guidance, protection, and deliverance.
Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names held significant meaning and often reflected divine attributes or promises. The name "Immanuel" appears during a time of political turmoil and uncertainty for the Kingdom of Judah. The prophet Isaiah delivered this name as a sign from God to King Ahaz, assuring him of God's presence and protection despite the threats from surrounding nations. This assurance was crucial for maintaining faith and trust in God's sovereignty and covenant promises.
Dec. 8, 2024
From Isaiah 9:6
Wonderful
Word Origin: From the root פָּלָא (pala), which means "to be wonderful" or "to be extraordinary."
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5059 (τεράστιον, terastion) - Wonder, Marvel
- G4592 (σημεῖον, semeion) - Sign, Miracle
Usage: The Hebrew word "pele" refers to something that is extraordinary, marvelous, or beyond human understanding. It is often used to describe the wondrous acts of God, which inspire awe and reverence. In the context of the Bible, "pele" signifies divine intervention or miraculous events that reveal God's power and majesty.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wonders and miracles were seen as direct manifestations of God's presence and power. The Israelites believed that God performed these acts to demonstrate His sovereignty, to deliver His people, and to affirm His covenant with them. The concept of "pele" is deeply rooted in the understanding that God is actively involved in the world and that His actions transcend human comprehension.

Psalms Give thanks
cast out, make confession, praise, shoot, give thankful,
A primitive root; used only as denominative from yad; literally, to use (i.e. Hold out) the hand; physically, to throw (a stone, an arrow) at or away; especially to revere or worship (with extended hands); intensively, to bemoan (by wringing the hands) -- cast (out), (make) confess(-ion), praise, shoot, (give) thank(-ful, -s, -sgiving).
Nov. 10, 2024
From I Cor. 13:2
Nothing
3762 oudeís (from 3756 /ou "no, not" and 1520 /heís, "one") – properly, not one; no one, nothing.
3762 /oudeís ("no one, nothing at all") is a powerful negating conjunction. It rules out by definition, i.e. "shuts the door" objectively and leaves no exceptions. 3762 (oudeís) is deductive in force so it excludes every (any) example that is included withing the premise (supposition).
[3762 /oudeís ("not one, none") categorically excludes, declaring as a fact that no valid example exists.]
Oct. 27, 2024
From I Cor. 1
Grace
Cognate: 5485 xáris (another feminine noun from xar-, "favor, disposed to, inclined, favorable towards, leaning towards to share benefit") – properly, grace. 5485 (xáris) is preeminently used of the Lord's favor – freely extended to give Himself away to people (because He is "always leaning toward them").
5485 /xáris ("grace") answers directly to the Hebrew (OT) term 2580 /Kaná ("grace, extension-toward"). Both refer to God freely extending Himself (His favor, grace), reaching (inclining) to people because He is disposed to bless (be near) them.
[5485 (xáris) is sometimes rendered "thanks" but the core-idea is "favor, grace" ("extension towards").]

[This root (mōr-) "properly refers to physical nerves causing one to become dull, sluggish (so Hipp., Aristotle); used of the mind, dull, stupid, foolish" (Abbott-Smith); "flat/insipid" (WS, 1062). 3474 (mōrós) is used ironically of apparent stupidity in 1 Cor 1;25,27, 3:18.]
Oct. 6, 2024

181 /akatastasía ("commotion") generates confusion (things being "out of control"), i.e. when "up for grabs." This uncertainty and tumult inevitably generates more instability.
July 28, 2024
Inspired from II Tim. 3:16
2315 theópneustos (from 2316 /theós, "God" and 4154 /pnéō, "breathe out") – properly, God-breathed, referring to the divine inspiration (inbreathing) of Scripture (used only in 2 Tim 3:16).
2315 /theópneustos ("God-breathed"), likely a term coined by Paul, "expresses the sacred nature of the Scriptures (their divine origin) and their power to sanctify believers" (C. Spicq, 2, 193).
[Inbreathing (2315 /theópneustos) relates directly to God's Spirit (Gk pneuma) which can also be translated "breath."]
2 Tim 3:16: "Each-and-every (3956 /pás, singular) Scripture (Gk, singular) is God-breathed (2315 /theópneustos) and profitable for teaching, for convincing, for correction, for training in righteousness."
July 21, 2024
Revelation 21:6 Alpha and Omega
1 A – alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. 1/a (alpha) is used as a prefix (called its "privative use") and typically means "no" or "not" (= "un-," "without").
[Greek words, whose first letter (of the root) is alpha, can not take an "alpha-privative" to negate them, so the only way to express their "antithesis" is using a negative particle before them (e.g. mē, ou).]
Example: There is no single word for "unforgiveness" in the NT because the first letter is already alpha ("a") – so a negative has to be used separately like, "not forgive" (ou/mē aphiēmi). "Righteousness/judge" (dikē) however does not begin in Greek with the letter "a" so unrighteousness is formed by using the prefix alpha (adikia).
5598 Ō (long ō, originally formed by pronouncing two short o's/omikrons together, cf. Zodhiates, Dictionary) – the final letter of the Greek alphabet; (figuratively) God's infinity (endlessness), in contrast to alpha – the first letter of the Greek alphabet which represents the Lord as the unoriginated originator of all life and all that is eternal.
In the NT, 5598 ("Ōmega") is always used of the glorified Christ (Rev 1:8, 21;6, 22:13), referring to His absolute limitlessness to meet all the needs of finite (limited) people.
[Ōmega is the twenty-fourth (final) letter of the Greek alphabet, which begins with 1 /A ("alpha").]

Acts 2:42 Continue Steadfastly

[4342 /proskarteréō means "to continue to do something with intense effort, with the possible implication of despite difficulty – 'to devote oneself to, to keep on, to persist in'" (L & N, 1, 68.68).]

2315 /theópneustos ("God-breathed"), likely a term coined by Paul, "expresses the sacred nature of the Scriptures (their divine origin) and their power to sanctify believers" (C. Spicq, 2, 193).

Cognate: 25 agapáō – properly, to prefer, to love; for the believer, preferring to "live through Christ" (1 Jn 4:9,10), i.e. embracing God's will (choosing His choices) and obeying them through His power. 25 (agapáō) preeminently refers to what God prefers as He "is love" (1 Jn 4:8,16). See 26 (agapē).
With the believer, 25 /agapáō ("to love") means actively doing what the Lord prefers, with Him (by His power and direction). True 25 /agapáō ("loving") is always defined by God – a "discriminating affection which involves choice and selection" (WS, 477). 1 Jn 4:8,16,17 for example convey how loving ("preferring," 25 /agapáō) is Christ living His life through the believer.
