Note "The Hittite Legal Code (discovered by Winckler at Hattusas or Boghaz-koy 1906-1912 and dating from about 1300 B.C.) illuminates the transactoin recorded in Gen. 23 where Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah from Ephron the Hittite. Hittite law explains the reluctance of Abraham to buy the entire parcel, and his preference for acquiring only the dave itself and the territory immediately adjacent. The law required the owner of an entire tract to perform the duties of ilku or feudal service, a responsibility which doubtless included pagan religious observances... Abraham was alert enough to prefer avoiding this involvement by purchasing only a fraction of the parcel, thus leaving Ephron responsible to perform ilku as original owner of the tract."

Although God does use a comparison to a woman at childbirth (Isa. 42:14), nonetheless, there is a strong scholarly consensus that God is regarded as non-sexual... This consensus finds explicit support in Deu. 4:15-16. One fact providing inferential support is the use of both sexes of a sacrifical victim in offerings to God. In the ancient Near East it was customary to sacrifice male animals to (male) gods and females to goddesses." Ref-0157, pp. 108-109.

manuscript - Acts_8:37 : Acts 8:37

Note "Additionally [to the manuscript evidence], Irenaeus (202 AD), Cyprian (258 AD), Ambrosiaster (fourth century), Pacian (392 AD), Ambrose (397 AD), Augustine (430 AD), and Theophylact (1077 AD) all cite Acts 8:37. The natural question posed by textual scholars is this: if the text were genuine, why would any scribe wish to delete it? In his commentary on the book of Acts, Dr. J. A. Alexander provides the possible andwer. By the end of the third century it had become common practice to delay the baptism of Christian converts to assure that they had truly understood their commitment to Christ and were not holding to one of the various heretical beliefs prevalent at that time. It is possible that a scribe, believing that baptism should not immediately follow conversion, omitted this passage from the text, which would explain its absence in many of the Greek manuscripts which followed." Ref-0086, pp. 157-158


manuscript - Acts_15:17 : Acts 15:17

Note The Masoretic text reads "rest of Edom" whereas the Septuagint reads "rest of men" due to difference in interpretation of added vowel points. The unpointed text is "ADM" which could be either Edom of Adam. Ref-0100, Tape 14:A.


manuscript - Aleph and Beta - disagreement : Mark 16:9-10

Note Regarding what the NIV footnotes refer to as the two most reliable manuscripts, Jay Green observes, "...there can scarcely be found there verses in a row which are the same in Aleph and Beta...in fact there are more then 3,000 differences between them in the Gospels of the New Testament alone" Ref-0176, p. 2:321. "Another problem with these manuscripts is they both have 'correcting' hands on them. Aleph has several 'correcting' hands on it while Beta has a couple. In other words, later scribes made changes in the manuscripts. Most likely, they were trying to bring them in conformity with other manuscripts they had which they considered to be more reliable...despite [its] supposed importance, eventually, Aleph was discarded. It was forgotten for centuries until Constantin von Tischendorf discovered it in the late 1800s and proclaimed it 'the critical standard for establishing the text'" Ref-0177, p. 103.

Note 390 days is given as 190 days in the Septuagint (LXX).


manuscript - Gal._4:26 : Gal. 4:26

Note "'which is the mother of us all.' The Alexandrian Text reads: 'and she is our mother.' The Greek word panton (of us all) is not contained in the Alexandrian manuscripts, while it is in the majority of all Greek manuscripts. Polycarp writes 'which is the mother of us all' and uses the Greek word panton (Philippians 3:3). Where did Polycarp get the phrases if not from the Traditional Text? Plainly the disciple of St. John and friend of the Apostle Paul was using a Greek text very much like the Textus Receptus." Ref-0086, p. 48.


manuscript - John_5:24 : John 5:4; John 5:4

Note "The passage also has patristic citations. It is found in the Diatessaron of the second century, Tertullian (200 AD) notes that an 'angel, by his intervention, was wont to stir the pool at Bethsaida.' The passage is also cited by Ambrose (397 AD), Didymus (398 AD), Chrysostom (407 AD) and Cyril (444 AD), demonstrating that both Greek and Latin fathers accepted the reading as genuine." Ref-0086, p. 154.


manuscript - John_7:53 : John 7:53; John 8:1-11

Note "This certainly does not belong to the Gospel of John. It is an independent unit of gospel material, of the same general character as the Holy Week incidents in the temple court recorded in Mark 12:13-37. 'The account has all the earmarks of historical veracity', and as a genuine reminiscence of Jesus' ministry is eminently worthy of being treated as canonical." Ref-0073, p. 289. "The question arises as to why this passage was ever omitted. We find the answer in church history. Augustine makes an astounding statement concerning the authenticity of the passage. After citing the forgiving phrase of Christ, 'Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more,' Augustine writes: This proceeding, however, shocks the minds of some weak believers, or rather unbelievers and enemies of the Christian faith: inasmuch that, after (I suppose) of its giving their wives impunity of sinning, they struck out from their copies of the Gospel this that our Lord did in pardoning the woman taken in adultery: as if He granted leave of sinning, Who said, Go and sin no more! Augustine implies some fearful scribes who thought the inclusion might lead to adultery omitted this passage." Ref-0086, p. 156.


manuscript - Luke_24:40 : Luke 24:40

Note "'When He had thus spoken, He shewed them His hands and His feet.' NASB questions this important testimony to the physical and literal reality of the resurrection of Christ. A footnote misleadingly asserts that 'many mss' do not contain this verse. In fact there is only one Greek manuscript which is known to omit this verse (codex D of the 5th century), and all other Greek manuscripts contain it." The New American Standard Bible, Article No. 46, Ref-094


manuscript - Luke_24:52 : Luke 24:52

Note "NASB omits Luke's statement that the disciples 'worshipped' Christ, and relegates the missing phrase to a footnote, which says that 'some mss. insert' the words. However, only one Greek manuscript (out of more than a thousand) is known to omit the words in question." The New American Standard Bible, Article No. 46, Ref-094


manuscript - Mark_1:1 :

Note "NASB footnote 'Many mss. do not contain the Son of God. This is quite misleading, as more than one thousand Greek manuscripts (including Codex Vaticanus) contain the words, while only about three Greek manuscripts omit them." The New American Standard Bible, Article No. 46, Ref-094


manuscript - Mark_1:2 : Mark 1:2

Note "In Mark 1:2 a citation is made from Malachi and Isaiah. Isaiah's name does not appear in the King James, but it does in the best critical editions of the Greek text. Mark attributes both citations to Isaiah. The Jewish custom in citing two or three prophets ina brief catena of Scripture was to name only the leading prophet." Ref-0015, p. 203. "in this passage [Mark 1:2] in the Critical Text Isaiah is made the author of the book of Malachi." Ref-0140. "The quotation in verses 2 and 3 [of Mark] is composite, the first part being from Mal. 3:1 and the second part from Isa. 40:3. It is easy to see, therefore, why copyists would have altered the words 'in Isaiah the prophet' (a reading found in the earliest representative witnesses of the Alexandrian and Western types of text) to the more comprehensive introductory formula 'in the prophets.'" Ref-0138, p. 62.


manuscript - Mark_16:9-20 : Mark 16:9-20

Note "[The longer traditional reading] is the reading found in the majority of Old Latin texts as well as the Coptic versions and other early translations. Finally, it is cited (at least in part) by many of the early church fathers such as Justin (165 AD), Tertullian (220 AD), Hippolytus (235 AD), Ambrose (397 AD) and Augustine (430 AD). In 177 AD Irenaeus wrote Against Heresies. In it he cites from Mark 16:19, establishing that the longer reading was in existence at this time and was considered canonical, at least by Irenaeus: Also, towards the conclusion of his Gospel, Mark says: 'So then, after the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God;' confirming what had been spoken by the prophet: 'The LORD said to my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand, until I make Thy foes Thy footstool.' Thus God and the Father are truly one and the same; He who was announced by the prophets, and handed down by the true Gospel; whome we Christians worship and love with the whole heart, as the Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things therein. (3:10:5)." Ref-0086, pp. 149-150 "MS evidence suggests that Mark�s longer ending, in which this reference appears (16:17), is of second-century origin. Early MSS do not contain it, but it was known by Irenaeus (Adv. haer. iii.10.5) and quoted by Tatian (Diatessaron lv.8�10)." Ref-0008, p. 4:873.


manuscript - Mat._6:1 : Mat. 6:1

Note "The KJV uses the word 'alms' (eleemosunen), while the NIV uses the phrase 'acts of righteousness' (dikaiosunen). Once can see from the English and the Greek that these are two different words with two different meanings. Chrysostom makes mention of this text and uses the word alms (eleemosunen). He writes, 'Thus, 'take heed' saith he, 'as to your alms'". Ref-0086, p. 53. [Chrysostom preached until 398 AD.]


manuscript - Mat._6:13 : Mat. 6:13

Note "In... Homily XIX, Chrysostom cites the passage as found in the Traditional Text and then expounds on the words kingdom, power, and glory. This would be rather difficult to do if his Bible did not contain them." Ref-0086, p. 54. [Chrysostom preached until 398 AD.] "The oldest witness, which outdates all Greek manuscripts containing Matthew chapter six, is the Didache (otherwise known as the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles). This ancient catechism dates to the early second century, shortly after 100 AD, and contains a form of the Lord's Prayer: 'But let not your fasts be with the hypocrites; for they fast on the second and fifth day of the week; but do ye fast on the fourth day and the preparation (Friday). Neither pray as the hypocrites; but as the Lord commanded in his Gospel, thus pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us today our daily (needful) bread, and forgive us our debt as we also forgive our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for Thine is the power and the glory for ever. Thrice in the day thus pray." Ref-0086, pp. 145-146


manuscript - Mat._21:44 : Mat. 21:44

Note "the textual apparatus acknowledges only one uncial (a sixth century uncial of dubious lineage) and one ninth century minuscule without the verse; while there is a long list of uncials, including the critics' favorites, Aleph and B, plus about twenty minuscules that have the verse. How then can one logically infer that the verse is an interpolation, early or late?" Ref-0154, p. 22.


manuscript - names - accuracy of Assyrian :

Note "This examination has shown how closely the Hebrew writings of Assyrian royal names conform to their contemporary appearances in Assyria and Babylonia in conformity with ancient orthographic custom...The distincitively Assyrian forms [in the Old Testament] may be assumed to derive from Hebrew sources set down in writing at or near the times of various episodes, a conclusion reached on other grounds by many commentators who assign the passages in Kings containing them to some official annalistic compilation. Nevertheless, we may remark upon their remaining unchanged by any compiler or editor of Kings or Isaiah during the exile in Babylonia, or later, when the Assyrian forms had become obsolete...The remarkably accurate preservation of these Assyrian names...is striking testimony to the care of the ancient Semitic scribe faced with incomprehensible forms. That care is highlighted when the wide range of variation in Greek manuscripts of the Septuagint and the various Hellenistic historians is set out for comparison." Ref-0066, Vol. 14 No. 1, Winter 2001, 22 quoting Millard, A.R., Assyrian Royal Names in Biblical Hebrew, Journal of Semitic Studies, 1976, 21:1-14.


manuscript - Ps._22:16 : Ps. 22:16

Note "they pierced my hands and my feet" vs. "like a lion, my hands and my feet" -- former is based on the Septuagint, latter on pointing of the Masoretic text. Septuagint predates the Masoretic text by over one thousand years. Ref-0011, p. 86.


manuscript - Rev._5:9-10 : Rev. 5:9-10

Note "Some ancient versions of Scripture give a different rendering...translated in the American Standard Version of 1901 as follows: Worthy art though to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and poeple, and nation, and madest them to be unto our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon the earth." Ref-0032, p. 117.


manuscript - Rev._14:1 : Rev. 14:1

Note "The best manuscripts indicate that the expression having his Father's name written in their foreheads should be having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads." Ref-0032, p. 214.


manuscript - Rev._22:16-22 : Rev. 22:16-22

Note "Deficiencies other than typographical are not all Erasmus' fault, or only partly so. He had the use of less than twenty manuscripts and used mainly only two or three. His only manuscript of Revelation lacked its last page; so Erasmus himself translated the Latin Vulgate back into Greek for the last six verses." Ref-0154, p. 38.


manuscript - Rom._14:10 : Rom. 14:10

Note "In Romans 14:10, the King James Version reads, 'For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ.' Modern versions tend to read, 'judgment seat of God' instead of 'judgment seat of Christ.' The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians quotes the verse as saying: 'If then we entreat the Lord that He would forgive us, we also ought to forgive: for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and we must all stand at the judgment-seat of Christ, and each man must give an account of himself.' Philippians 6:2). This reading, which dates to 150 AD, would offer support in favor of the Traditional Text and the Authorized (King James) Version of 1611." Ref-0086, p. 11. "Since this passage in Romans is the only passage in the New Testament that speaks of the 'judgment seat of Christ,' Polycarp must have received this reading from the Traditional Text." Ref-0086, p. 48.


manuscript - Sinaitic Codex :

Note "[D]iscovered by Tischendorf in 1859 in the Convent of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai. From the beginning of the fourth century, this manuscript contains all of the New Testament. It is in the British Museum." Ref-0060, p. 191. "Codex Sinaiticus contains over half of the Old Testament and almost all of the New Testament except for large passages such as Mark 16:9-20 and John 5:53-8:11, along with several other verses. It has the Old Testament Apocrypha laced within it as Scripture and the New Testament apocryphal books of the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas." Ref-0086, p. 36.


manuscript - Sinaitic Codex vs. Alexandrian Codex :

Note "Another problem with the modern Critical Text is that the two main manuscripts upon which this text is construced, the Sinai and Vatican, disagree between themselves over 3,000 times in the Gospels alone." G. W. Anderson, What Today's Christian Nees to Know about the Greek New Testament, Ref-0140


manuscript - Textus Receptus - origin :

Note "When the Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536) published the first Greek New Testament in 1516, he had just a few late manuscripts with which to work. Later editions of the Greek Testament were also based on similar manuscripts. So, apart from minor variations, all the early printed editions are essentially the same. The Greek New Testaments used by the King James translators other than Erasmus' texts included the Complutensian Polyglot printed in 1514 (but not published till 1520), Stephanus' texts, and Beza's texts. 'The editions of Beza, particularly that of 1598, and the two last editions of Stevens were the chief sources used for the English Authorized Version of 1611.' The Elzivir brothers of the Netherlands published several editions of the Greek New Testament with essentially the same text as that of Erasmus, Beza, and Stephanus. In the Latin introduction to the 1633 edition, Elzivir stated that this text was the 'textub ab omnibus receptum' ('text received by all'). This was shortened to 'Textus Receptus, and was later applied to Stephanus' text of 1550. This name was also applied in a general way to all texts of the Byzantine type. The traditional Greek text has been called the Textus Receptus ever sine that time." Ref-0177, p. 134 citing Farstad, Arthur L. The New King James Version in the Great Tradition (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, 1993), pp. 106-7.

manuscript - variations in New Testament :

Note "The scholar Griesbach... made a very special study of [the variants in the epistle to the Romans]. In it he minutely compared 7 great uncial manuscripts (Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, Ephraemi, and Passionei at Rome; and those of St. Germain, Dresden, and Cardinal Coislin), 110 minuscule manuscripts, and 30 others, for the most part at Mount Athos. We begin by presenting a table on the first eight verses of [Romans] chapter 1... These nine or ten different 'readings' are actually of no importance; besides, they have to do with only one or two manuscripts out of the 150 consulted on this passage... The differences between our various translations are much more numerous and ordinarily have more influence on the sense." Ref-0060, p. 195. "The number of manuscripts of the New Testament, of early translations from it, and of quotations from it in the oldest writers of the Church, is so large that it is practically certain that the true reading of every doubtful passage is preserved in some one or other of these ancient authorities. This can be said of no other ancient book in the world." Ref-0075, p. 355, quoting Sir Frederic Kenyon, Our Bible and the Ancient Manuscripts, pp. 98-102 "...a careful study of the variants... of the various earliest manuscripts reveals that none of them affects a single doctrine of Scripture. The system of spiritual truth contained in the standard Hebrew text of the Old Testament is not the slightest altered or compromised by any of the variant readings found in the Hebrew manuscripts of earlier date found in the Dead Sea caves or anywhere else. All that is needed to verify this is to check the register of the well-attested variants in Rudolf Kittel's edition of the Hebrew Bible or else the more recent Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. It is every evident that the vast majority of them are so inconsequential as to leave the meaning of each clause doctrinally unaffected." Ref-0001, p. 28. "Only 40 lines out of the 20,000 lines or 400 words of the New Testament are in doubt whereas 764 out of the 15,600 lines of the Iliad are questioned. 5% of the Iliad compared to � of 1% of the New Testament." Dr. Harold Hohner "There are approximately 300,000 textual variants amont New Testament manuscripts. The Majority Text differs from the Textus Receptus in almost 2,000 places. So the agreement is better than 99 percent. But the Majority Text differs from the modern critical text in only about 6,500 places. In other words the two texts agree almost 98 percent of the time. Not only that, but the vast majority of these differences are so minor that they neither show up in translation nor affect exegesis. Consequently the majority text and modern critical texts are very much alike, in both quality and quantity." Wallace, Daniel B. "The Majority Text and the Original Text: Are They Identical?" Ref-0200, April-June 1991, pp. 157-158.


manuscript - variations in Old Testament :

Note "The famous B. Kennicott based his critical edition of the Hebrew Bible on the study of 581 manuscripts. Professor Rossi examined about 680. J. J. Michaelis spent thirty years of his life making a similar study. Professor R. D. Wilson declared that in the texts studied by Kennicott there are about 280 million letters. Of this total, there are about 900,000 variants, of which 750,000 are nothing but insignificant changes of v and i. Taking the largest figure, one arrives at one variant for 316 letters. Laying aside the unimportant changes of v and of i, one finds only one variant for 1,580 letters. Add to this the fact that the most of the variants are found in only a few manuscripts or even in just one. Very few variants occur in more than one of the 200-400 manuscripts of each book of the Old Testament." Ref-0060, p. 190.


manuscript - Vatican Codex :

Note "[F]rom the fourth century, is in the Library of the Vatican. One hundred forty-two of the 559 pages contain almost the whole New Testament." Ref-0060, p. 191. "Vaticanus is missing Genesis 1:1-46:28; 2 Kings 2:5-7, 10-13; Psalm 106:27-138:6; Mark 16:9-20; John 7:53-8:11; and everything after Hebrews 9:14." Ref-0086, p. 36.


manuscript - witness - number of :

Note "The critics... propose a rule that number is less important than weight. A dozen or a hundred manuscripts all copied from a single original ancestor count only as one; and therefore a lone manuscript of a different type equals the other hundred in weight. This argument, which seems so plausible at first, is not so weighty a criterion as the critics seem to believe. There is another factor involved, which, if they have mentioned it, I have missed the mention. It is this. If a score or two score manuscripts have a single ancestor, it implies that a score or two score copyists believed that ancestor to be faithful to the autographs. But if a manuscript has not a numerous progeny... one may suspect that the early scribes doubted its value." Ref-0154, p. 15.

Note "The Talmud" itself refers to Mary, using her Jewish name of Miriam, as the daughter of Heli. [Jerusalem Talmud, Chagigah 2:4; Sanhedrin 23:3; Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 44:2] Ref-0011, p. 139. "Luke was dealing resourcefully with a dilemma that arose from the fact of Jesus' virgin birth. Descent was not to be traced through a man's mother, but through this father. Because of Jesus' supernatural conception in the womb of a virgin, He had no physical father. Thus His physical genealogy had to be traced through his nearest male relative, His maternal grandfather [Heli]." Ref-0057, June/July 2000, 18. "From Solomon was descended Joseph, the legal 'father' of the Lord Jesus (Mat. 1:6,16); from Nathan, the virgin Mary, His actual mother (Luke 3:23,31). Taken strictly Christ thus descends not from the chief royal line of Solomon, but from the non-reigning collateral line of Nathan. The one is the legal, the other the organic; the organic has more significance than the legal. Matthew gives the ancestral tree of Joseph, Luke that of Mary, or, to be more accurate, of her father Elie... Thus explain Luther, Bengel, Lange, Delitzsch, and many others." Ref-0197, p. 158.


Mary - identity in Protestant, Roman, Orthodox, and Muslim faiths differs :

Note "The Mary of the Orthodox Church was sinless but not conceived immaculately. The Mary of Islam is confused with Miriam, sister of Moses and Aaron, whose father was Amram. She is not the Mother either of God or of the Son of God ("Allah has no son" - Sura 4:171). The Mary of Catholicism was immaculately conceived, the Mother of God, a perpetual virgin, Mediatrix between God and man, and the Queen of Heaven. Then there's the Mary of the Bible." T.A. McMahon, Ref-0017, October 2000.

Neither could Paul have fulfilled the requirements set forth in Acts 1:22. Some have thought it significant that Matthias is not mentioned hereafter, but neither are many of the other apostles.

Note "[Dr Walter Veith] went on to point out 'we don't know what animals ate in the past. Tooth structure is not a good indicator. The panda bear [for instance] is classified as a carnivore, but it eats bamboo.' In other words, finding Tyrannosaurus rex and saber-toothed tigers, with sharp teeth and claws, in the fossil record says nothing about whether or not they were carnivores." Ref-0003, Vol. 15(1) 2001, 72. "In the future kingdom age, there will again be no predation or struggle between animals or between animals and men (Isa. 11:6-9; Hosea 2:18). Even today, both animals and men can (and do, on occasion) live on a strictly vegetarian herbivorous diet. The development of fangs and claws, as well as other such structures and practices, may be explained as either (1) recessive created features which became dominant by selection processes as the environment worsened following the Fall and Flood; (2) features created originally by the Creator in foreknowledge fo the coming Curse; or (3) mutational changes following the Curse, converting originally benign structures into predatory and defensive structures." Ref-0174, n. Gen. 1:29.

Note The dietary restrictions upon Gentiles by the Jerusalem council (Acts 15:20,29) was out of concern for retaining Gentile fellowship with Jewish believers. Paul allows such meat sacrificed to idols to be eaten (1Cor. 8:7; 1Cor. 10:18-33), but only when it does not cause offense to brothers.

Note Concept held by ancient rabbis (instead of two advents). The first messiah, "Messiah Ben Joseph," who suffered in Egypt would come to suffer and die to fulfill the servant passages (Isa. 49, 53). Isa. 49:53, 53). The second messiah, "Messiah Ben David," would establish His Kingdom to rule and reign. Ref-0011, p. 57. Another concept: alternative fulfilment as described in Talmud (Sanhedrin 98a): "Rabbi Joseph the son of Levi objects that it is written in one place 'Behold one like the son of man comes with the clouds of heaven,' but in another place it is written 'lowly and riding upon an ass.' The solution is, if they be righteous he shall come with the clouds of heaven, but if they not be righteous he shall come lowly riding upon an ass.'" Ref-0011, p. 66.


messiah - false : John 5:43; John 10:1; John 10:8

Note "The preciousness of the metal deteriorates from the top of gold to the clay of the feet, and there is a corresponding lower specific gravity; that is, the gold is much heavier than the silver, the silver than the brass, the brass than the iron, and the clay in the feet is the lightest material of all. The approximate specific gravity of gold is 19, silver 11, brass 8.5, and iron 7.8. ...While the materials decrease in weight, they increase in hardness with the notable exception of the clay in the feet. The image is obviously top heavy and weak in its feet." Ref-0005, p. 63. "The interpretation of the royal image of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 2:31-43) and of the four corresponding beast figures of the night vision of Daniel (ch. 7) as the Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, and Roman world empires is found as early as Irenaeus (died A.D. 202) and in Josephus and the Jewish Rabbis.

Note Commentary on the Tanakh. Believed by the rabbis to have been begun by the prophet Ezra circa 444 B.C.E. "The Midrash (textual study, textual interpretation) was actually a formed doctrinal and homiletical exposition of the Hebrew Scriptures written in Hebrew and Aramaic. Midrashim (plural) were collected into a body of material between 100 B.C. and A.D. 300. Within the Midrash were two major parts: the Halakah (procedure), a further expansion of the Torah only, and the Haggada (declaration, explanation), being commentaries on the entire Old Testament. These Midrashim differed from the Targums in that the former were actually commentaries, whereas the latter wer paraphrases." Ref-0075, p. 503.

Note "Numerous historians declare that Premillennialism (initially called chiliasm) was the first major millennial view of the Church and that it was the predominant view of orthodox believers from the first to the third centuries. A sampling of historians will be quoted as evidence for this declaration..." Ref-0072, pp. 115-126. See millennial kingdom - Justin Martyr, millennial kingdom - Papias, millennial kingdom - Irenaeus, millennial kingdom - Tertullian, millennial kingdom - Lactantius "The most striking point in the eschatology of the anteNicene age is the prominent chiliasm, or millenarianism, that is the belief of a visible reign of Christ in glory on earth with the risen saints for a thousand years, before the general resurrection and judgment. It was indeed not the doctrine of the church embodied in any creed or form of devotion, but a widely current opinion of distinguished teachers." Ref-0124, p. 2:614 cited by Ref-0055, August 2001, p. 113. "All three of these fathers of the Western church, Cyprian, Hippolytus, and Victorinus, subscribed to the millenarian doctrine." Ref-0123, p. 27. "Among those who can be cited [in support of chiliasm in the third century] are Cyprian (200-258), Commodian (200-270), Nepos (230-280), Coracion (230-280), Victorinus (240-303), Methodius (250-311), and Lactantius (240-330)." Ref-0081, p. 123. "George E. Ladd (Crucial Questions About The Kingdom of God [Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 1952] 23) forcefully concludes, ''[W]ith one exception [Caius] there is no Church Father before Origen who opposed the millenarian interpretation, and there is no one before Augustine whose extant writings offer a different interpretation of Revelation 20 than that of a future earthly kingdom consonant with the natural interpretation of language.'"

millennial kingdom - Irenaeus : Rev. 20:2-7

Note "Irenaeus wrote the following concerning the blessings of the future Kingdom of God foretold in the Scriptures: 'The predicted blessing, therefore, belongs unquestionably to the times of the kingdom, when the righteous shall bear rule upon their rising from the dead; when also the creation, having been renovated and set free, shall fructify with an abundance of all kinds of food, from the dew of heaven, and from the fertility of the earth: as the elders who saw John, the disciple of the Lord, related that they had heard from him how the Lord used to teach in regard to these times.'" [emphasis mine] Ref-0072, p. 122. "Irenaeus stated in even stronger terms than Justin that the premillennial doctrine was 'traditional orthodoxy.' He spoke of 'certain orthodox person' whose opinions were 'derived from heretical sources,' and asserted that 'they are both ignorant of God's dispensations, and of the mystery of the resurrection of the just, and of the [earthly] kingdom.'" Ref-0123, p. 24. "Irenaeus, on the strength of tradition from St. John and his disciples, taught that after the destruction of the Roman empire, and the brief raging of antichrist (lasting three and a half years or 1260 days), Christ will visibly appear, will bind Satan, will reign at the rebuilt city of Jerusalem... will celebrate the millennial sabbath of preparation for the eternal glory of heaven; then, after a temporary liberation of Satan, follows the final victory, the general resurrection, the judgment of the world, and the consummation in the new heavens and the new earth." Ref-0124, pp. 2:617-18 cited by Ref-0123, p. 56.


millennial kingdom - Jerome : Rev. 20:2-7

Note "...the saints will in no wise have an earthly kingdom, but only a celestial one; thus must cease the fable of one thousand years." Ref-0083, p. 58, from Robert E. Lerner, "The Medieval Return to the Thousand-Year Sabbath," in Richard K. Emmerson and Bernard McGinn, eds., The Apocalypse in the Middle Ages, pp. 38-50


millennial kingdom - judgment in : Isa. 2:2-4; Mic. 4:1-3

Note "First, the OT picture of the messianic period seems to include a situation in which the Messiah is reigning in a yet imperfect world. One such example may be noted in Isa. 2:2-4 and its parallel in Mic. 4:1-3. ... the immediate context portrays conditions which are not yet perfect. For example, God is said to 'judge between the nations and render decisions for many peoples' (Isa 2:4). Interpreting this as God's action through the Messiah, non-dispensationalist E. J. Young explains the meaning of these statements by saying, 'God is now represented as one who in a peaceful manner intervenes in the disputes of nations, and settles them so that the nations change the implements of war into utensils of peace'. Concerning the Messiah's rendering decisions for many peoples, Young notes further that this 'pictures the LORD in the position of Judge and Arbiter who pronounces decisions concerning the nations and their disagreements' (The Book of Isaiah, NICOT [Eerdmans, 1965], p. 107). To say the least, this prophecy is difficult to apply to the present work of Christ in the world, and it would seem impossible to see Christ performing these tasks in a perfect sinless state." Saucy, Robert L. Response to Understanding Dispensationalists. Grace Seminary. Grace Theological Journal Volume 10, Vol. 10, Page 139, Grace Seminary, 1989;2002.


millennial kingdom - Justin Martyr : Rev. 20:2-7

Note "But I and whoever are at all points right-minded Christians know that there will be a resurrection of the dead a thousand years in Jerusalem which will then be built, adorned, enlarged as the prophets Ezekiel and Isaiah and the others declare. And further, a certain man among us by the name of John [John the Apostle] predicted by revelation that was made to him that those who believe in our Christ would spend a thousand years in Jerusalem and thereafter the general of us... the enternal resurrection and judgement of all men would likewise take place." -- Justin Martyr, Ref-0061, vol. 1, chapter LXXX, 239.


millennial kingdom - Lactantius : Rev. 20:2-7

Note "Lactantius wrote... '... at the end of the six thousanth year, all evil be abolished from the earth, and that justice reign for a thousand years, and that there be tranquility and rest from the labors which the world is now enduring for so long... When He shall have destroyed injustice and made the great judgment and restored to life those who were just from the beginning, He will stay among men for a thousand years and will rule them with a just dominion... Then those who will be living in bodies will not die, but will generate an infinite multitude during those same thousand years,...Those who will be raised from the dead will bein charte of the living as judges. ... At this same time, also, the prince of demons who is the contriver of all eviles will be found in chains, and he will be in custody for the thousand years...'" Ref-0072. pp. 124-126


millennial kingdom - Papias : Rev. 20:2-7

Note "Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea and the 'Father of Church history,' wrote concerning Papias in his work Ecclesiastical History (III, 39), 'Among other things he says that a thousand years will elapse after the resurrection of the dead and there will be a corporal establishmetn of Christ's Kingdom on this earth.'" Ref-0072, p. 120.


millennial kingdom - posttribulational population problem : Isa. 65:20; Eze. 20:33-38; Mat. 25:31; Rev. 20:4

Note "At the end of the Tribulation all living believers will be raptured, given resurrection bodies, and return immediately to earth in the single event of the rapture and second coming. This would seem to eliminate all redeemed, unresurrected people from the earth at that point in time so that there would be no one left to populate the millennial kingdom. If the wicked survivors are either killed or consigned to Hades at the end of the Tribulation, then there will be no one left in an unresurrected body to enter the Millennium." Ref-0079, pp. 87-88. "Furthermore, an adjustment has to be made in the time of the judgment of the sheep and goats in Matthew 25:31-46 if the posttrib picture is correct. The reason is simple: If the rapture occurs after the Tribulation, then all the sheep (redeemed) will have been removed from the earth; thus, there would be no sheep to be part of that judgment if it occurs at the second coming, which is a single event with the rapture [in the posttribulational view]." Ref-0079, p. 89. "It is obviously impossible to incorporate a translation of all saints at the end of the tribulation and the beginning of the millennium as it would result in all saints receiving a spiritual body, leaving none to populate the earth in the millennium." Ref-0081, p. 243. "The sheep of Matthew 25:31-46 and the godly remnant of Israel left after the rebels are purged out (Eze. 20:33-38) will comprise the earthly citizens of the millennium" Ref-0104, p. 284.


millennial kingdom - sinners in : Isa. 65:20; Eze. 45:20; Zec. 14:17
millennial kingdom - Tertullian : Rev. 20:2-7

Note "In a work which he wrote before his association with Montanism, Tertullian stated, 'But we do confess that a kingdom is promised to us upon the earth, although before heaven, only in another state of existence; inasmuch as it will be after the resurrection for a thousand years.' Then he wrote 'After its thousand years are over...there will ensue the destruction of the world and the conflagration of all things at the judgments.'" Ref-0072, p. 124. Also Ref-0123, p. 25.

In the Book of the Secrets of Enoch, 32:2; 33:1-2 Enoch holds the idea that the history of man will run for seven thousand years, the last millennium of which will be one of great blessedness and will precede the eighth millennium, which is eternity. According to R.H. Charles, Enoch's view can be explained as follows: As the world was made in six days, so its history will be accomplished in 6,000 years, and as the six days of creation were followed by one of rest, so the 6,000 years of the world's history would be followed by a rest of 1,000 years. On its close would begin the eighth eternal day of blessedness when time should be no more, xxxii. 2-xxxiii. Ref-0037, p. 2:430" Ref-0032, p. 294.

Note "While the memorial view has much to commend it, it does not adequately address the fact that Ezekiel (Eze. 43:20,26; 45:15,17,20), under the New Covenant, clearly says that the blood sacrifices are for 'atonement' in just the same way that Leviticus (Lev. 4:20,26,35; 16:27; 17:11, et. al) does under the Mosaic Covenant. Furthermore, nowhere in Ezekiel's prophecy concerning the sacrificial system, is it ever implied that the sacrifices are 'memorial' in nature." Ref-0146, pp. 549-550. "... the unglorified human population will be capable of incurring ritual defilement and polluting the earthly Sacntuary. Even though those who initially enter the Millennial kingdom are all regenerate (Jews--Ezekiel 20:33-38; Gentiles--Matthew 25:31-46), they are still mortal beings who intentionally or unintentionally can violate ceremonial standards. Furthermore, they will produce children who may or may not become spiritually regenerate and receive a new heart... and therefore lack the inward restraint of sin." Ref-0146, p. 555. "...this kind of sacrificial 'atonement' is not for salvation nor for inward sanctification, but to preserve outward corporate 'sanctification' (or ceremonial purification) so that a holy God can remain in the midst of an unholy people." Ref-0146, p. 556.

Note "Some have argued for a one-year ministry because the first three gospels mention only one Passover during his ministry, the one when he was crucified (Mat. 26:17-20; Mark 14:12-27; Luke 22:7-16). The gospel of John, however, contradicts this theory. John specifically names three Passovers in which Jesus was involved after he began public ministry (John 2:13; 6:4; 11:55)." Ref-0091, p. 317.

Note "A rabbinic writer tells of an incident that explains the common Jewish attitude toward Gentiles. A certain Gentile woman came to Rabbi Eleazar, confessed that she was sinful, and told him that she wanted to become righteous. She wanted to be accepted into the Jewish faith because she had heard that the Jews were near to God. The rabbi is said to have responded, �No. You cannot come near,� and then shut the door in her face." Ref-0159, p. 68.

Note "The miracles of the Book of Acts are also impressive for their great variety, covering at least eleven different categories: first the miracle of Christ's ascension (Acts 1:9-10); second, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit with its attendant phenomena (Acts 2:1-4; 10:44-46); third, healing of the diseased and infirm (Acts 3:1-10; 28:7-9); fourth, the casting out of demons (Acts 5:16; 16:16-18); fifth, raising the dead (Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12); sixth, physical wonders (Acts 4:31; 8:39); seventh, miraculous deliverances (Acts 5:19-22; 16:26); eighth, immunity from ordinary hazards (Acts 27:23-26; 28:3-5); ninth, direct and tangible angelic ministry (Acts 12:7-8,23); eleventh, miraculous visions and communications (Acts 9:3-6; 10:9-16)."

Mishnah :

Note "to repeat" Basic part of the Talmud. Laws and commentaries forming the core of the Oral Law. Compiled and edited about 200 C.E. by Judah Hanasi. "The Mishnah" (teaching), which was concluded at the beginning of the third century, covers the whole range of Jewish legislation as well as religious and ethical teachings transmitted by the Tannaim who were the authorities on the Oral Law from the time of Hillel to that of Rabbi Judah ha-Nasi, a period of about two centuries. The Gemara is the interpretation of the Mishnah... Ref-0006, pp. 127-128. "The Mishnah (repetition, explanation, teaching) was completed at about A.D. 200, and was a digest of all the oral laws from the time of Moses. It was regarded as the Second Law, the Torah being the First Law. This work was written in Hebrew, and it covered traditions as well as explanations of the oral law." Ref-0075, p. 502. "The Mishnah is a philosophical law code, completed around A.D. 200, which is the first authoritative and canonical writing in Judaism after the Hebrew Scriptures. The Judaism that appeals to the Mishnah recognizes no holy book written between the Hebrew Scriptures or 'Old Testament' and that document, and all later holy books begin with either Scripture or the Mishnah." Ref-0137, p. 38.

The extant part (also known as the Testament of Moses) is certainly incomplete, but the Assumption of Moses may have been a separate work from the Testament; if so, it has been entirely lost." Ref-0073, p. 51. "That Moses might not have written the account of his own death (Deu. 34) has long been accepted by conservative scholars (such as R. D. Wilson, L. Harris, G. Archer). This in fact supports the view of a continuity of writing prophets that the successor wrote the last chapter of his predecessor's book." Ref-0075, p. 252.

Note "Another suggestion dating back to Papias (ca. 60-130 A.D.) relates the structure of Matthew's Gospel to the first five books of the Old Testament, the Pentateuch. In Matthew's Gospel there are five discourses, all concluded with the same formula (Mat. 7:28; 11:1; 13:53; 19:1; 26:1). It is propounded Matthew is introducing a New Pentateuch or New Order with Jesus as the New Moses. However, this is really no correlation between the five sections of Matthew and the Pentateuch."

[The Jews helped the Muslims defeat the Christians and the shrine was built partly out of gratitude.]" Dr. Randal Price, The History of the Jewish Temple, Tyndale Theological Seminary, Tape 3:A:340. "after almost 60 years of occupation, the Umayyad caliph 'Abd al-Malik built in A.D. 691-92 what is known today as the Dome of the Rock... Some people believe the Dome was built as a commemoration of an Islamic event or place of prayer for a caliph (such as 'Umar, after whom it has been popularly called the Mosque of Omar)." Ref-0144, p. 88.


Most of the Muslim rulers during the 1,174 years of Islamic dominance were not Arab; therefore, they have no ethnic relationship to the Palestinians... The Seljuks (1071-1099) were Turkish mercenaries, the Muslim commander Saladin (1187-1260) was a Kurd, the Mamluks (1260-1516) were descendents of Turkish and Caucasian slave soldiers from the Caucasus.

Ref-0197, p. 102.


mount - sermon on : Mat. 5:1

Note The view that the Sermon on the Mount sets forth a rule of life for the millennial kingdom has some serious difficulties. "The greatest is seen in the many references throughout the discourse to conditions which are incongruous to the millennial kingdom. For instance, the disciples are to be reviled and persecuted for Christ's sake (Mat. 5:11-12); wickedness must be prevalent since the disciples are considered to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Mat. 5:13-16); they are to pray for the coming of the kingdom (Mat. 6:10); they are warned concerning false prophets (Mat. 7:15). This is indeed a strange portrayal of that kingdom which was pictured by the Old Testament prophets!... If the Sermon on the Mount is the constitution of the kingdom age, it certainly contains a great amount of extraneous material bout the tribulation. The millennial view simply leaves too much unexplained relative to the non-kingdom material and its relevance ot the sermon." Ref-0143, pp. 90-91.

Note The traditional site is Jebel Musa (Arabic for "the Mountain of Moses"), an impressive peak in the southern Sinai peninsula where the Byzantine monastery of St. Catherine's was built in A.D. 527 to commemorate the giving of the Law. However, some 13 different sites have been identified as the "real" Mount Sinai. Concerning the recent claim that the real Mount Sinai is Jebel el-Lawz in Saudi Arabia, the biblical criteria weighs against it. Mt Sinai is located outside the Land of Midian. In Ex. 18:27 Moses' father-in-law departs from Mt. Sinai to go to his own land (Midian). In Num. 10:29-30 Moses' brother-in-law chooses to depart from Mt. Sinai to his own land (Midian). When Gal. 4:25 was written the area defined as Arabia was quite different than today. A contemporary traveler, Strabo, a Greek from Pontus (64 BC -c. AD 25) describes the borders of Arabia as having its eastern border at the Persian Gulf and its western border at the east side of the Nile River. In the mid-third century BC, the translators of the Septuagint referred in their translation to "Goshen of Arabia" (see LXX Gen. 45:10; Gen. 46:35). Goshen was the place from which the Israelites left Egypt to make the exodus to Canaan. By the third century BC, Egyptian Goshen was also considered as part of Arabia. Another problem is that Mt. Horeb (another name for Mt. Sinai) is said to be "eleven days journey from Kadish-barnea" (Due. 1:2). Jebel el-Lawz is too distant to satisfy this criteria. A more likely candidate is Jebel Sin Bishar (meaning "the announcement of the Law" or the "Laws of Man") on the western side of the Sinai Peninsula. It accords with the statements that Mt. Sinai is three days journey from Egypt (Ex. 3:18; Ex. 5:3; Ex. 8:27). This site also h
