Literal translation: "I have gotten a man: Jehovah". The common English translation is not based on the Hebrew text but on the Greek Septuagint which reads "through God." This was followed by the Latin Vulgate which also reads "through God." The Jerusalem Targum, an Aramaic translation, reads "I have gotten a man: the angel of Jehovah." The rabbis also gave a reading here which is much closer to the original Hebrew text. The Targum Pseudo-Jonathan reads, "I have gotten for a man the angel of the Lord." Another Aramaic translation is the Targum Onqelos which says "from before the Lord." The Midrash Rabbah (on Gen. 22:2), the rabbinic commentary, says of Gen. 4:1 "with the help of the Lord." Rabbi Ishmael asked Rabbi Akiba, "Since you have served Nahum of Gimzo for 22 years and he taught that every ach and rach is a limitation but every et and gam is an extension, tell me what is the purpose of the et here." He replied, "if it is said 'I have gotten a man: the Lord' it would have been difficult to interpret, hence et 'with the help of the Lord' is required." The footnote on page 181 of this Midrash says "it might imply that she had begotten the Lord." The rabbis clearly understood the implications of the construction and so had to make the necessary adjustments in their translation. Ref-0011, p. 16.

"...I suggest that kenaf might suggest the location where the 'abomination of desolation' is placed: in the Holy of Holies in relation to the winged cherubim of the Ark of the Covenant. The Septuagint (followed by the Vulgate) translated the Hebrew word kenaf to the Greek word pterugion to designate any projecting extremity or 'wing-like projections'... the mention of 'sacrifices' just before this term may imply a ritual association."

abomination of desolation : abomination of desolation - Antiochus Epiphanes
; abomination of desolation - fulfillment theories
; 2K. 21:5; 2K. 21:7; 2Chr. 33:7; Dan. 8:13; Dan. 9:27; Dan. 11:31; Dan. 12:11; Mat. 24:15; Mark 13:14; 2Th. 2:4; Rev. 13:15
"Syrian authorities under Antiochus IV erected an altar to Zeus in the Temple (ca. 167 b.c.). 1 Macc. 1:54 characterizes this as �a desolating sacrilege� (cf. 2 Macc. 6:1-5).... The emperor Caligula�s plan to erect a statue of himself in the Temple (ca. a.d. 40) may have been seen by some as at least a partial fulfillment of this �prophecy,� but the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, both written more than twenty years later, associate the abomination with the events to precede the expected return of Jesus as �Son of man� and evidently regard it as yet to be fulfilled (Matt. 24:15-21; Mark 13:14-19)." Ref-0131, s.v. Abomination That Makes Desolate
abomination of desolation - Antiochus Epiphanes : Dan. 8:13; Dan. 11:31
"And on the fifteenth day of the month Chaseleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they built an abomination of desolation upon the altar, and built altars in the cities of Judah round about... And on the twenty-fifth day of the month they sacrificed upon the altar, which was upon the altar of burnt offering." 1 Maccabees 1:52-61. "... on the 25th Kisleu (about December) 168, on the annual festival of the Olympian Zeus, he caused a small alter consecreated to that god, to be placed on the altar of burnt offering at Jerusalem (1 Maccabees 1:20-24,41-64)--the 'abomination of desolation'... Therefore, he also was represented in the prophecy as the 'little horn' of the third world empire (Dan. 8:9,23), even as the Antichrist is the 'little horn' of the fourth world empire (Dan. 7:8,20,24,25)." Ref-0197, p. 171.
abomination of desolation - fulfillment theories :
"...scholars have offered their interpretations for the 'abomination of desolutation' as a past fulfillment. I will simply list these with a breif observation about each: 1) The Statue of Titus erected on the side of the desolated Temple (popular in Patristic times) is more likely a tradition that developed from the memory of Roman standards erected in the Temple area by order of Titus. 2) 2) Statues erected by Pilate and Hadrian. All we know for certain is that Pilate brought Roman standards into the Temple, which had medallions with an image of the emperor. As to the site fo the equestrian statue, John Wilkinson argues that it would not have been at the site of the Temple itself, but that this area would have remained free of such objects so that the site could later be rebuilt by the Jews as a show of Roman benevolence. 3) Caligula's attempted desecration. The events of A.D. 33-40 are believed to have created a fear that although Caligula had attempted to erect a pagan statue in the Temple and failed, another might succeed. However, this whole theory has been shown to be implausible on textual and historical grounds [see footnote 44 in this text]. 4) The invading Roman army of A.D. 70. If the Roman invasion that desecrated and destroyed the Temple in A.D. 70 was the fulfillment of the abomination of desolation, we are left without a complete correspondence with Daniel 9:27, for both the covenant is missing and the destruction of the desolator would have to be construed differently." Ref-0146, pp. 489-480.

abortion - Greek and Roman :
"The Greeks lived in fear of large families, for that could mean starvation. Custom and law condoned homosexuality, abortion, and the exposure of infants in woods, mountains, or garbage dumps." Ref-0150, p. 217. "The Roman historian Tacitus... expressed contempt for the fact that 'the Jews even consider it a crime to kill a newborn infant.'" Ref-0152, p. 19.

Abraham - age at death : Gen. 25:7

"Abraham wandered westward, perhaps crossing the Euphrates at Carchemish, where ti can be forded during a low-water period." Ref-0150, p. 32.
Abraham - circumcised : circumcision - of Abraham
Abraham - covenant : covenant - Abrahamic [5002.1]
Abraham - faith before circumcision : Gen. 15:6 (younger than 86, see Gen. 16:16); Gen. 17:24 (Ishmael 13 and Abraham 99 years old); Rom. 4:10
"Because the covenant of circumcision was first introduced when Abraham was already ninety-nine years old (Gen. 17:1-14); but the covenant of faith and the justification took place before even the birth of Ishmael, and therefore before his eighty-sixth year (Gen. 16:16 cf. Gen. 17:1). Consequently Abraham had been justified already thirteen years before he was circumcised." Ref-0197, p. 96
Abraham - faithful : Gen. 22:10; Ne. 9:8; Heb. 11:17; Jas. 2:21
Abraham - father of faithful : Gen. 12:3; Isa. 59:21; Luke 3:8; Luke 19:9; Rom. 4:11-18; Rom. 9:6; Gal. 3:7; Gal. 3:29; Gal. 6:16; Php. 3:3
"'Abraham's seed,' therefore, is not necessarily equivalent of a Jew or a member of the people of Israel. God's promise to Abraham encompassed both 'a great nation' and 'all peoples on earth' (Gen. 12:2-3). Both of these groups, therefore, share the fulfillment of that promise in the salvation of God without being merged into each other. It is significant that when the fulfillment of the Abrahamic promise is related to the Gentiles, it is specifically this statement about 'all nations,' not any reference to the 'great nation' or Israel, that the apostle uses as OT support (Gal. 3:8). Again, there is sharing, but not identity..." Robert L. Saucy, "Israel and the Church: A Case for Discontinuity," Ref-0199, p. 254.

Abraham - to the law : Ex. 12:40; Gal. 3:17
"Professor Bryant Wood, from the Associates for Biblical Research... concludes that the period of 430 years mentioned in Exodus 12:40 was not the total period of time from Abraham to the Exodus, as seemingly implied in Galations 3:17, but was the actual period of the Israelite presence in Egypt."

Abrahan - offers Isaac on Even Akkidah : Gen. 22:10-12; 2S. 24:16-18; 1Chr. 21:28
"In the Midrashim it is written that the Rock is the Even Akkidah, the 'Stone of Binding' and marks the place where Abraham bound his son Isaac and laid him on an altar, but that the Holy of Holies was built over the place where the ram was caught in the thicket, a short distance away. Tradition further contends that the Rock is not only the place where the offering of Isaac was attempted, but that it was also the threshing floor of Arunah the Jebusite which King David purchased and upon which he pitched the Tabernacle." Ref-0144, pp. 163-164. Isaac was 25 years old according to Josephus. Ref-0026, 1.13.2.

"As soon as one even allows for [an age of the earth of] millions of years, one has also accepted death, disease (like cancer�there is evidence of cancer in dinosaur bones supposedly millions of years old), bloodshed, violence, and thorns (there are thorns in the fossil record supposedly 300 million years old�yet the Bible makes it clear thorns came after the Curse (Genesis 3:18)) before man sinned�and thus God called this �very good.� This undermines the Gospel�the message that death is the result of sin, which is why Christ died on the Cross."

1. Adam created in God's image, Christ is the manifestation of God in the flesh. 2. Adam's disobedience brought condemnation leading to death, Christ's obedience brought justification leading to life. 3. Those who are 'in Adam' die, those who are 'in Christ' have eternal life. 1Cor. 15:22 4. Adam is the 'son of God' (Luke 3:38) as is Christ. (Both were directly created by God.) 5. All men are 'born once' in Adam. Believers are 'born again' in Christ. 6. First Adam became a living being (Gen. `2:7), the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit (1Cor. 15:45). 7. Adam is from the earth -- made of dust (Gen. 2:7), Christ is from heaven. 8. Adam lost dominion, Christ regained it. 9. A tree bore Adam's downfall, a tree bore Christ's victory. 10. Adam's body was animated by the breath of God (Gen. 2:7), the body of Christ is animated by the breath of God (1Cor. 12:13).

"The meaning of the >tnof/<;touq&y ending of aod:ny is debated. Some contend it is an honorific plural of majesty meaning 'my Lord.' Others contend it denotes emphasis by reinforcing the root and the term means 'Lord par excellence, Lord of all.' Although it may mean 'my Lord' in some passages where God is being addressed (e.g., Gen. 15:2), it more probably means 'O Lord of all' everywhere. Ref-0157, p. 124.

age - radiometric age of earth and moon :
"The oldest accepted radiometric ages for lunar rocks are about 4.25 Ga [million years ago], but the oldest accepted terrestrial rocks have ages of about 3.95 Ga. How is this explained? Both bodies are thought to have undergone geological activity, so that no primordial rocks exist on either one... If there are no primordial rocks on the earth, whence comes the 4.59 Ga age for the earth? That age comes from radiometric dating of a certain class of meteorites, from which the age of the solar system, and most of the bodies in it, has been inferred." Ref-0003, 13(2) 1999, p. 58.

Al Quds :
Al Quds means 'The Holy' and is the Islamic title for Jerusalem. "In fact, however, when the Muslims captured Jerusalem after Mohammed's death (A.D. 637), they did not call it Al Quds, but Ilya. Jerusalem is never mentioned in the Koran, and while the term Al Aqsa is used, it simply means 'the endmost' or 'farthest' and has nothing to do with Jerusalem. Originally, it probably referred to a remote place in Mecca, or at the extreem, Medina. In addition, while Palestinians will assert that the Al Aqsa mosque at the southern end of the Temple Mount is the third holiest site in Islam, other Muslim nations such as Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria, also claim to ahve 'Islam's third-holiest shrine' on their soil." Ref-0142, pp.284-285. "the word Al-Aqsa simply means 'far corner'-- a term originally applied to the east corner of Mecca, not Jerusalem." Ref-0146, p. 174. "Today the Muslims call Jerusalem Al-Quds ('the Holy'); however, the earliest Arab name for the city was Iliyia, derived from the Roman renaming of the city as Aelia (Capitolina). In the Islamic period, the name was Bayt al Maqdis from the Hebrew Beit Hamiqdash ('the Holy House,' i.e., the Temple), revealing the city's Israelite origin. Only later was the name changed to Al-Quds." Ref-0146, p. 180.

Allah : Allah - origin 
Allah - origin :
"The desert Arab...feared and worshiped incalculable deities in stars and moons...Now and then he offered human sacrifice; and here and there he worshiped sacred stones. The center of this stone worship was Mecca [with] the Kaaba and its sacred Black Stone...in its southeast corner, five feet from the ground, just right for kissing... Within the Kaaba, in pre-Moslem days, were several idols representing gods. One was called Allah...three others were Allah's daughters--al-Uzza, al-Lat, and Manah. We may judge the antiquity of this Arab pantheon from the mention of Al-il-Lat (Al-Lat) by Herodotus as a major Arabian deity. The Quraish [Muhammad's tribe controlling Mecca] paved the way for monotheism by worshiping Allah as chief god; He was presented to the Meccans as the Lord of their soil, to Whom they must pay a tithe of their crops and the first-born of their herds. The Quraish, as alleged descendants of Abraham and Ishmael, appointed the priests and guardians of the shrine and managed its revenues." Ref-0047 cited by Ref-0017, February 2000. "In Mecca was the Kabah, a simple primitive structure housing a black meteorite which the Arabs worshiped as a fetish, and to which they brought sacrifices and came on annual pilgrimages. Some also worshiped Allah and the godesses at the Kabah. The building that housed the sacred meteorite was in the shape of an enclosed square; its name, Kabah, gives us our word for cube. Allah was the patron deity of the Quraysh, a tribe that made its home in Mecca." Ref-0150, pp. 324-235.
almah : almah - a virgin

almah(h5959) here means virgin. How else is it a major sign (Isa. 7:11)? Septuagint translates using Greek "parthenos" which specifically is a "virgin". Mat. 1:23 clearly quotes passage as referring to Christ. Only 7 uses in OT: Gen. 24:43 Rebekah (unmarried, a virgin), Ex. 2:8 Miriam (unmarried, a virgin), Ps. 68:25 procession before God (better be virgins!), Sos. 1:3 purity in marriage, Sos. 6:8 contrasted with queens and concubines (non-virgins), Isa. 7:14 how could an illegitimate child be a sign?

"... Ezekiel 43:17 states that the altar of burnt offering in the Millennial Temple will have eight steps facing east. Under the Mosaic Law this altar would have been illegitimate, because its stipulations prohibited both going 'up by steps to My altar' (Exodus 20:26) and an eastward orientation. This is why the altars in previous Temples were constructed with a ramp for priestly ascent (see Mishnah Middot 3:4) and with a north-south orientation. The reason for this prohibition (as well as the commandment in Exodus 28:42 concerning the priests wearing linen underwear) was because of Israel's proximity to the Canaanite culture, whose priests ascended stepped altars in order to reveal their nakedness during their sacrificial rituals, which involved the worship of nature and fertility deities. In addition, the Canaanites worshiped the god Shamash, who represented the sun, which rises in the east." Ref-0146, p. 548.

see Rephaim, "The word does not refer to giants in the sense of huge beings, but to a race of fallen ones. The reason it was translated as 'giant' is because in the Septuagint, the Jewish scholars translated Gen. 6:4 by the Greek word gigentes which means 'Titan.' Our English word 'giant' comes from this Greek word gigentes. It is from the events of Gen. 6:1-4 that the source of Greek and Roman mythologies were derived. These mythologies record how gods from Mount Olympus intermarried with human beings on earth and produced children who had superhuman characteristics, who were greater than men but less than gods." Ref-0011, p. 120. Gigentes means "earthborn"?

"Stephen's sermon refers at least three times to the Old Testament angel of the Lord, usually regarded as the preincarnate Christ (Acts 7:30,35,38). In Acts 7:30-31, Stephen ascribes to the angel at the burning bush 'the voice of the Lord' (cf. Acts 7:35,37-38) and applies the Old Testament 'angel of the Lord' to the New Testament Christ." Ref-0105, p. 187. "As the church fathers had already recognized [among later scholars we mention Calvin, Hengstenberg, Keil, Ebrard, Lange, and Stier], this is no less a person than the Son of God Himself, the Word... who appeared later in Christ."

Angel - of Jehovah - Metatron :
"A. C. Gaebelein, The Angles of God, 20, says, 'It is noteworthy and of great interest that the ancient Jews in their traditions regarded the Angel of the Lord, in every instance, not as an ordinary angel, but as the only mediator between God and the world, the author of all revelations, to whom they gave the name Metatron.' Richard Watson, Theological Institutes, I, 501, also affirms the support of ancient Jews to this interpretation." Ref-0104, p. 54, footnote.

"Tammerlane used to relate to his friends an anecdote of his early life. 'I once,' he said, 'was forced to take shelter from my enemies in a ruined building, where I sat alone many hours. Desiring to divert my mind from my hopeless condition, I fixed my eyes on an ant that was carrying a grain of corn larger than itself up a high wall. I numbered the efforts it made to accomplish this object. The grain fell sixty-nine times to the ground; but the insect persevered, and the seventieth time it reached the top. This sight gave me courage at the moment,and I never forgot the lesson." From THE KINGS BUSINESS, Ref-0119, p. 30.

antichrist - Jewish writings : Dan. 11:1-31; Dan. 11:36-37; Rev. 13:4; Rev. 13:15
"...the figure of Antichrist is implied in the Old Testament and appears under various names in the Jewish apocryphal and pseudepigraphal writings that date from before the birth of Christ. This last-days opponent of the Jewish people and the Messiah is especially prominent in some of the apocalyptic texts of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Michael Stone, a leading Israeli expert on this literature, has observed that 'the background to this figure lies in Jewish eschatology.' The same conclusion was drawn by Hebrew University professor David Flusser. As an expert on the origins of Christianity, he categorically states, 'The idea of Antichrist is strictly Jewish and pre-Christian.' ...in later Jewish commentaries, the legendary name given to antimessiah is Armilus. A brief summary of his characteristics, as given in such works as Sefer Zerubbavel and those by Saadiah Gaon, reveals close similarities between the Jewish and Christian concepts of the Antichrist: "This Armilus will deceive the whole world into believing that he is God and will reign over the whole world. He will come with ten kings and together they will fight over Jerusalem... Armilus will banish Israel 'to the wilderness' and it will be a time of unprecedented distress for Israel; there will be increasing famine, and the Gentiles will expel the Jews from their lands, and they will hid in caves and towers... God will war against the host of Armilus... and there will be a great deliverance for Israel and the kingdom of Heaven will spread over all the earth."" Ref-0142, p. 244 citing Klatzkin, Jacob, Encyclopedia Judaica, s.v. "Armilus," 3:476-477. "In the Jerusalem Talmud, Targum pseudo-Jonathan and the later Jewish apocalyptic midrashim (commentaries), a Jewish equivalent of the Antichrist appears by the name of Armilus. Works such as Sefer Zerubbavel and those by Saadiah Gaon reveal his characteristics in striking detail... Armilus will deceive the whole world into believing he is God and will reign over the whole world. He will come with ten kings and together they will fight over Jerusalem. Armilus is expected to persecute and banish Israel to the wilderness and it will be a time of unprecedented distress for Israel. There will be famine conditions, and the Gentiles will expel the Jews from their lands, and these Jews will hide in caves and towers. Then at the end, God will war against the host of Armilus, there will be a great deliverance for Israel, and the kingdom of heaven will spread over all the earth. Other references have Armilus arising from the Roman empire, having miraculous powers, and being born to a stone statue of a virgin (because of which he was called 'the son of a stone'). It is also interested that he makes this statue 'the chief of all idolatry,' with the result that 'all the Gentiles will bow down to her; burn incense and pour out libations to here.' This resembles Daniel's wicked 'king' and 'coming prince' and his 'abomination of desolation (Dan. 11:1-31,36-37), and especially the book of Revelation's statue of the beast which is brought to life and made an object of worship (Rev. 13:4,15)." Ref-0146, p. 481.
antichrist - Jewish? : Dan. 2:32-45; Dan. 7:2-3; Dan. 9:27; Zec. 6:12; Rom. 11:25; Rev. 11:2; Rev. 12:13; Rev. 13:2
"Does the person who rebuilds the Temple have to be considered the Messiah? Note that neither the Jewish governor Zerubbabel nor the Judean king Herod--both of whom rebuilt the Second Temple--were thought by the Jewish people to be the Messiah... the Gentile Persion emperor Cyrus... made possible the rebuilding of the Second Temple through his edict... It is an outsider who has to sign a legal document [Dan. 9:27] with the Jewish people, not one of their own... since the object of Satan's attackes during the Tribulation are all ethnic Jews (Rev. 12:13), it would seem unlikely that the one Satan empowers would also be Jewish (Rev. 13:2)... it would be contrary to the prophetic sequence of Daniel to have a Jewish kingdom (Dan. 2:32-45; Rom. 11:25)... to say that the Antichrist is to be a Jew would contradict the very nature of the times of the Gentiles... two different beasts are described as arising from the 'sea' and the 'earth.' The 'sea' is a literary image that often indicates the 'Gentile nations' (Dan. 7:2-3). This would mean that its opposite term here, 'earth,' would refer to 'the Jews' There is support for this in that the Greek word can be used as a technical expression for 'the land of Israel.' If this is so, then the first beast, which is from the sea, the Antichrist, is Gentile. And the second beast, the false prophet, is Jewish.... While Zechariah 6:12 indicates that the Messiah ('the Branch') will build the Temple, Zechariah is referring to the Millennial Temple. This allows for the Third (Tribulation) Temple to be built by someone else... the text of Revelation 11:2 that identifies the Antichrist with the Temple in its desecration does so in terms of Gentile occupation of the site."

antichrist - Nero - not :
Irenaeus, writing about 185 AD, knows nothing of Nero as antichrist, but expects an antichrist yet future to his day: "But when this Antichrist shall have devastated all things in this world, he will reign for three years and six months, and sit in the temple at Jerusalem; and then the Lord will come from heaven in the clouds, in the glory of the Father, sending this man and those who follow him into the lake of fire; but bringing in for the righteous the times of the kingdom, that is, the rest, the hallowed seventh day; and restoring to Abraham the promised inheritance, in which kingdom the Lord declared, that �many coming from the east and from the west should sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."

(Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, 1997), 1.1.7.1.5.31, p. 559. "The greatest obstacle [to Nero being the seventh king of Rev. 17:10] is [Gentry's] need to begin counting 'kings' with Julius Caesar... the fact is that Rome was a Republic, ruled by the First Triumvirate, in the days of Julius Caesar and became a Principate under Augustus and the emperors which followed him. Neither does Gentry attempt to explain the thirteen-year gap between Julius Caesar's death and the beginning of Augustus' reign." 2002021901.pdf, p. 193.

Leupold (Amillennialist) "In no sense can Antiochus be called an Atheist; nor does the language of the writer of 2 Macc. 9:12, 'think of himself as if he were God,' corresponding to the words of this verse. The character... finds a parallel in Paul's description of Antichrist (2Th. 2:4)." -- John Ellicott (Amillennialist) "'Saying things against every god.' This does not agree with Antiochus. He was not an atheist. He even wished universal worship to Zeus. On the contrary, these words before us are expressly referring to Antichrist, 2Th. 2:4." -- Keil & Delitzsch

Antilegomena - definition :
antilego= "to speak against." Those books whose right to a place in the canon, which they enjoyed, was challenged by certain rabbis in the second century A.D. They are Canticles (Song of Solomon), Ecclesiastes, Esther, Ezekiel, and Proverbs. After the Councils of Jamnia in 90 and 118 A.D., no further questions of any consequence were raised concerning any of the books of the Hebrew canon.

The 14 books of the Septuagint included in the Vulgate but considered uncanonical by Protestants because they are not part of the Hebrew Scriptures. The Roman Catholic canon accepts 11 of these books and includes them in the Douay Bible. Writings or statements of questionable authorship or authenticity. [Middle English Apocrypha, not authentic, from Late Latin Apocrypha, the Apocrypha, from Greek Apokrupha, neuter pl. of apokruphos, secret, hidden, from apokruptein, to hide away : apo-, apo- + kruptein, kruph-, to hide.] Fifteen writings recorded during the 400 years between the Old and New testaments. Twelve of them were declared inspired and added to the Catholic Cannon in 1546. Ref-0165, p. 337. "The Roman Catholic Church's claim that these writings of the Apocrypha are inspired must be rejected for the following reasons..." Ref-0165, pp. 338-339.

Apocrypha - Jerome's view : dead - prayer for 
"...Jerome rejected the Apocryphal books that were being circulated in manuscripts of the Greek and Latin versions. In general Jerome had a low opinion of books in the Apocrypha. He did eventually translate Tobit, Judith, and the additions to Daniel and Esther, but rapidly and without much care." Ref-0062, pp. 78-79. "At the Council of Trent in 1546, the Roman Church promulgated the following decree: 'If anyone receive not as sacred and canonical these said books, entire with all their parts... Let him be anathema!' By this decree Jerome himself was condemned, while the very firm position of the synagogue on the canon was contradicted." Ref-0060, p. 173.
Apocrypha - Protestant Bibles :
"...the Apocrypha were included in every major Protestant version of the English Bible from Coverdale to the Revised Standard Version." Ref-0073, p. 114, footnote p. 32.
Apocrypha - uninspired : Jude 1:9
"It is... very remarkable that in the entire New Testament there is not one explicit citation from the Old Testament Apocrypha, those books declared canonical in the sixteenth century by the Roman Church." Ref-0060, p. 97. "[The Apocrypha] seem not to have been included in the beginning in the Septuagint, but they were gradually introduced into its later editions. Neither Josephus nor Philo cites them. Christ and the apostles never referred to them, although they freely used the text of the Septuagint and were certainly acquainted with the material in question. (Jude 1:9 may allude to the Book of Enoch, a pseudepigraph...)... In the first century, Jerome added the Apocryphal books to his Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate, calling attention to the evident difference between the inspiration of the canonical writings and the less significant spiritual value of these." Ref-0060, p. 172. There is an almost unbroken testimony of antiquity AGAINST accepting the Apocrypha into the canon: (1) Philo quoted the OT prolifically, but never quoted from the Apocrypha as inspired. (2) Josephus explicity excludes the Apocrypha, numbering the books of the OT as twenty-two. Neither does he quote the apocryphal books as Scripture. (3) Jesus and the NT writers never once quote the Apocrypha although there are hundreds of quotes and references to almost all of the canonical books of the OT. (4) The Jewish scholars of Jamnia (A.D. 90) did not recognize the Apocrypha. (5) No canon or council of the Christian church recognized the Apocrypha as inspired for nearly four centuries. (6) Many of the great Fathers of the early church spoke out against the Apocrypha, for example, Origin, Cyrile of Jerusalem, Athanasius. (7) Jerome, the great scholar and translator of the Latin Vulgate, rejected the Apocrypha as part of the canon. (8) Many Roman Catholic scholars through the Reformation period rejected the Apocrypha. (9) Luther and the Reformers rejected the canonicity of the Apocrypha.

"When religious people in mosques, synagogues, and churches take up their writings of their respective faiths, they find there what God has told to Muhammed or Moses or Jesus, true and factual stories about what the founders of Islam, Judaism, or Christianity have said and done. When scholars of Islam or Judaism or Christianity read these same writings, a fair number of them receive these writings not as God's word but as statements of what humanity has written down in God's name. In the case of the Gospels, therefore, the body of the faithful in the churches read words they assume Jesus said, accounts of what he did, while scholars in universities and Christian seminaries alike find in the Gospels evidence that - properly interpreted - may tell us about things Jesus 'really' did or said. It follows that there is a considerable difference between how the faithful receive Scriptures - as the word of God - and how scholars read this same Scripture - as (mere) evidence about what may or may not have been said. ... which Jesus? Is it the one the scholars (this morning) tell me really lived and worked, said this (but not that), did this (but not the other thing)? Or the one Christian believers believe is son of God...?"

The second is, What should be the Christian's attitude toward it?" Ref-0056, p. 139. "... a definition of apostasy is this: 'A departure from truth previously accepted, involving the breaking of a professed relationship with God.' Apostasy always involves willful leaving of previously known truth and embracing error." Ref-0056, p. 140.

Greek apostolos = sent away from. Apos = away from, stello = sent. Hebrew equivalent: apo = me, stello = sheliac, the root for Mashiach or Messiah. "It is precarious to equate a missionary with an apostle merely upon the basis of the idea of sending forth in the verb from the same root, apostello. The word apostle means 'a sent one' only in the sense of a representative of God sent to the people...Except for Barnabas and Paul, the apostles were not characterized by missionary activity. On the contrary, the apostles remained in Jerusalem while others went forth with the message (See Acts 5:2,18; 6:2-6; 8:1; 9:27; 15:2; Gal. 1:17-2:10). Acts 8:1 especially makes this clear, since the apostles remained in Jerusalem after the rest of the church was scattered and even years after this event (see Acts 11:1; 15:2; Gal. 1:18; 2:1). The initial outward thrust of Christianity was carried by Philip the evangelist (Acts 8:5-40) rather than by an apostle." Ref-0115, pp. 53-54.

Ref-0005, p. 14. "It should be carefully observed that in Babylon of the late sixth century, in which Daniel purportedly lived, the predominant language spoken by the heterogeneous population of this metropolis was Aramaic." Ref-0005, p. 15. "Kitchen goes on to state, concerning the 'entire word-stock of Biblical Aramaic' which is largely Daniel, that 'nine-tenths of the vocabulary is attested in texts of the fifth century B.C. or earlier.'"

Aramaic - spoken : Ne. 8:7
"When the Jews returned from the Babylonian Exile, they were probably speaking Aramaic rather than Hebrew. This meant that when Ezra, the scribe...read the Law...it was necessary for the Levites (vv. 7-9) to translate from Hebrew to Aramaic." Ref-0002, p. 28.

"The King James Version in the two identical passages of 2 Kings and Isaiah change the 'Ararat' of the Hebrew to 'Armenia'. This is undoubtedly due to the influence of the Greek version of the OT, known as the Septuagint, which made this change when the translation was made in about 200 BC. Ararat as a Kingdom ceased to be with the defeat of the Medes around 605 BC. The translators of the OT simply were upgrading the geographical names, but it is puzzling as to why they did not update at the other two verses in Genesis 8 and Jeremiah 51!"

This payment was probably made in 734 BC, whereas the one recorded in the Old Testament most likely dates to the following year...A clay sealing, or bulla, impressed by the original seal reads, 'Belonging to Ahaz [son of] Yehotam, King of Judah.'

"The historical city of Bethsaida has been located after 17 centuries. The site for many of Jesus� miracles, including the feeding of the 5000 and walking on the water, Bethsaida has been sought by many Christian pilgrims. Recent excavations at et-Tell, a large mound a mile and a half from the shores of the Sea of Galilee, uncover a thriving port with city-levels that date back to the time of King David. Religious items for both Yahweh and Baal / Moon-god worship confirm the Bible�s description of Assyrian influences on Israel and Syria. Evidence for the town�s conquest by Assyria also confirms the Biblical account." Ref-0042, January 25, 2000.

Tunnel is 1,750 feet long through solid limestone connecting the Gihon Spring with present-day Pool of Siloam. "Researchers in the old City of David believe they may have discovered underground spaces that may have been used as a miqveh (ritual immersion pool) for the special purificiation of the High Priest in the Second Temple era (time of Jesus). Diver's photographs underneath the famous 8th-century B.C. water tunnel location south of the City of David revealed the subterranean spaces... Hezekiah's water tunnel was rediscovered in the 19th century when Jerusalem was under the Ottoman Turkish Empire. An inscription left by the original diggers, which described their procedure (as in the Biblical account), was removed and permanently housed in the museum in Istanbul... the water did not stream directly from the spring to the tunnel and then to the pool (from where the water was drawn) but followed a long path through underground spaces from the spring to the tunnel. Because the High Priest's purification required a separate, undefilable place, and the biblical text records that the High Priest annointed kings of Israel at this place (1 Kings 1:45), the researchers have conjectured that these spaces may have been utilized for that purpose."

Destruction occurred at harvest time in the spring as indicated by large quantities of grain stored in the city (Jos. 2:6; Jos. 3:15; Jos. 5:10). Siege was short since the grain stored in the city was not consumed. The grain was not plundered, as was usually the case in antiquity, due to Divine injunction (Jos. 6:17-18). Ref-0025, p. 152.

Engraved behidn the figure are the letters PQH, vocalized Peqah. The area of origin (Nablus) and date of the script suggest that the Peqah of the seal is none other than Peqah, son of Remaliah, of the Old Testament. Peqah no doubt used the seal when he was an officer under Peqahiah." Ref-0066, Vol. 14 No. 1, Winter 2001, p. 25.

The average middle-class citizens lived in well-appointed houses containing from ten to twenty rooms. Schools were maintained for the eduction of the young, for schoolboy tablets have been discovered which attest their training in reading, writing, arithmetic, and religion." Ref-0001, p. 177.

"The broken tablets of the Ten Commandments (Ex. 32:19) were a witness to the great spiritual defection and breaking of the covenant by the people--a defection which almost cost them their existence as Abraham's seed (Exodus 32:10; Deuteronomy 9:14). The pot of manna recalled the violations committed against its gathering (Exodus 16:20) and the complaints against its provision (Numbers 11:16). The rod of Aaron was a visible reminder of the treasonous spirit that sought to replace God's appointed leadership (Numbers 16)." Ref-0142, p. 53. "The pot of manna revealed God's loyal love in that He continued His constant care of the nation by giving her 'daily bread' until everyone finally reached the Promised Land (Exodus 16:35; Joshua 5:12). Aaron's budded rod was graciously given to validate God's proper priesthood (Numbers 17:5; 18:6-9,23) and to preserve the lives of those who would otherwise have perished for their complaints (Numbers 17:10). Finally, the book of the Law was present with the Ark to testify to every successive generation (Deuteronomy 4:9) that God had chosen the nation not because of anything she had done but because of His own sovereign love and gracious choice (Deuteronomoy 7:6-9)."

The ark appears to have been sequestered away from the Holy of Holies during the time of corruption preceding the reign of Josiah (2Chr. 35:3). This hints at the possibility that the ark was preserved elsewhere during times of religious crisis to prevent its subsequent capture. "Once the Ark was installed permanently within the Temple, it was not moved except on one occasion--when King Manesseh placed an idol in the Temple (2 Chronicles 33:7; 35:3)." Ref-0146, p. 381.

Har-Mageddon. The mountain of Megiddo. The west end of the valley of Jezreel guarding Megiddo pass. "The campaign of Armageddon could be identified as consisting of three separate battles (all characterized in Scripture as being like the treading of a winepress) beginnin with the Valley of Jehoshaphat (Joel 3:12-14), the valley created by the dividing of the Mount of Olives at Christ's return (Zec. 14:4-5). The second battle will take place near Bozrah where Christ will stain His garments with blood when the restored Israelites fail to follow His orders to capture the territory of Edom (Isa. 63:1-6; cf. Ob. 1:15-21). The final battle is in the valley of Jezreel near Megiddo and gives its name to the campaign (Rev. 16:16; 19:11-18). This three-battle scenario is implied by Hindson's explanation that the 200-mile river of blood (Rev. 14:20) is equivalent to the distance between Bozrah and Megiddo (159)." William D.

atonement - meaning :
"Two recent Christian studies of this word in the Old Testament--one with a concentration on its meaning in the book of Leviticus, and the other paying special attention to Ezekiel's usage in chapters 40-48--have offered a re-evaluation of its meaning in the context of a theocratic government. Their research has determined that the understanding of the Hebrew term for atonement kippur, should be 'to purify' or 'cleanse,' based on the Akkadian cognate kuppuru, rather than the traditionally understood meaning of 'to cover,' borrowed from the cognate Arabic kapara or the ransom/propitiation view, which is based on the noun form kopper and sees atonement as the 'averting of divine wrath by the payment of a ransom.'" Ref-0146, p. 554.

atonement - of Christ limited : Isa. 53:5; Mat. 1:21; John 10:11; John 10:15; John 17:9; Acts 20:28; Rom. 8:32; Eph. 5:25
These passages are often used to teach the concept of limited atonement, but the scriptural evidence for unlimited atonement seems clear and overwhelming. See atonement - of Christ unlimited
atonement - of Christ unlimited : Mat. 28:19; Mark 16:15; Luke 19:10; Luke 24:47; John 1:29; John 3:16; John 6:51; Acts 2:39; Rom. 5:6; Rom. 5:8; Rom. 5:10; Rom. 5:18; Rom. 18:2; 2Cor. 5:14-15; 2Cor. 5:19; Col. 1:20; 1Ti. 2:4; 1Ti. 2:6; 1Ti. 4:10; Heb. 2:9; Heb. 10:29; 2Pe. 2:1; 2Pe. 3:9; 1Jn. 2:2; 1Jn. 4:14
See atonement - of Christ limited "In answering the question as to the 'extent' of Christ's atonement, it must first be settled whether the 'extent' means its intended application, or its intrinsic value; whether the active or the passive signification of the word is in the mind of the inquirer. In the word means value, then the atonement is unlimited; if it means extending, that is, applying, then the atonement is limited." Ref-0104, p. 186 quoting William G. T. Shedd, Dogmatic Theology, II, p. 466. Although John 3:16 is often used to argue for unlimited atonement, the Greek merely states, that 'all who believe in Him' (pa" oJ pisteuwn ei" aujton) should not perish. It states that God's love is directed toward 'all who believe' and therefore will not perish. The emphasis relates that God so loved the world that He provided a way of escape for those that believe.
atonement - provided by God in OT : Deu. 32:43; Job 14:17; Job 33:24; Ps. 65:3; Ps. 51:2; Ps. 79:9; Pr. 16:6; Isa. 6:7; Isa. 53:10

atonement - without sacrifice :
"Once someone lamented the destruction of Jerusalem and wept that it was no longer possible, without the sacrificial system, to atone for one's sins. 'No, my son,' Rabban Yochanan replied. 'We have a means of making atonement. And what is it? It is deeds of love...'" Ref-0150, p. 288. "It was declared that Passover could be celebrated without the sacrifice of the paschal lamb. The order, seder, of the Passover eve ritual was transformed; one could eat the unleavened bread and bitter herbs without the meat of the lamb--contrary to the clear stipulation of the Bible." Ref-0150, p. 291.

"Augustine for thirty-one years led a tumultuous existence, alternating between efforts of self-reformation and repeated defeats and misery. Writhing one day in wretched humiliation in the garden, he heard the voice of a child from the neighborhood chanting: 'Take and read! Take and read!' He went to get the scroll containing the epistles of Paul, and his eyes fell on Rom. 13:14. All was decided by a word, in an instant: Jesus had overcome! Augustine made no attempt to inquire further; he closed the book. With the end of that sentence 'a stream of light and security was poured into his soul; and all the night of his doubts had vanished.'" Ref-0060, p. 288.

"What we call civil or organized government, whether simple or highly complex, exists for only one reason -- the protection, conservation, fostering, and improvement of human life. Genesis 9:6, therefore, becomes one of the most important landmarks in all of human history, for here God not only decrees the beginning of human government in a sinful world, but also lays down the moral and social foundation of all such government. As Luther has well said of the text, 'This was the first command having reference to the temporal sword. By these words temporal government was established, and the sword placed in its hand by God.'" Ref-0183, pp. 46-47. "[Gen. 9:6] introduced capital punishment for the murderer. But this includes the supervision of the individual by the community and the apppointing of public courts and legal penalties, and signifies nothing less than the introduction of governmental powers and therewith the foundation of all later creation of States."

"Yes, I would have been astonished. Here is a Torah-teacher who says in his own name what the Torah says in God's name. It is one thing to say on one's own how a basic teaching of the Torah shapes the everyday... It is quite another to say that the Torah says one thing, but I say ... then to announce in one's own name what God set forth at Sinai... The prophet, Moses, speaks not in his own name but in God's name, saying what God has told him to say. Jesus speaks not as a sage nor as a prophet..." Ref-0137, pp. 46-47.
