The Word and our Words


The Lord God Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1-17). The Bible is his words, but He is the Word that became flesh (John 1:14). Words are important because God himself calls Himself the Word. We live in a world that runs on words, communication, and without it there is chaos. The need to share our words, to say what we need to say, to vent, to process out loud makes perfect sense because God Himself is The Word of God. We are made in His image (Genesis 1:26-27), and so we have the need to express ourselves, our desires, our pain, and even pleasure in words. It is designed into us. 

The danger of when we repress or suppress our words can be devastating. It can lead to a explosion of emotion at the wrong time, to disease like cancer, and other emotional problems and it can be the door to addictions. So many people seal their lips out of fear or thinking its unnecessary to express what lies in their souls. The truth is we need to share our words, with God in prayer and others, at the very least a certified counselor who will listen and provide feedback. If you cannot bounce your thoughts, hurt, and joy off another, then you cease to be the Image, and become a blue blooded Vulcan, i.e. the walking dead. 


Christ is the Word of God and we carry both Him and our word inside us. It is crucial to let that word out in cathartic and healthy manner. To speak out of our frustrations and triumphs, our loves and hates.  This is how we are designed as mini-words that God spoke into existence and who sustains as the Word of God, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” (Colossians 1:15-20). We are not made to be silent and insulated about our feelings and thoughts. And since we live in a far more wicked world, it is crucial to find someone you trust like a certified counselor to speak the words you hold captive inside, for often when we speak them, even if they are cruel, it releases the python like grip on our souls. I urge you to partner with The Word of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, and start unpacking those unspoken words. Because weither you know it or not, they are effecting you, and perhaps in some cases controlling your behavior. Amen.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
