rabbit - chews cud : Lev. 11:6

Note The Hebrew phrase 'chew the cud' simply means 'raising up what has been swallowed'. Coneys and rabbits go through such similar motions to ruminants that Linnaeus, the father of modern classification (and a creationist), at first classified them as ruminants. Also, rabbits and hares practise 'refection,' which is essentially the same principle as rumination, and does indeed 'raise up what has been swallowed'. The food goes right through the rabbit and is passed out as a special type of dropping. These are re-eaten, and can now nourish the rabbit as they have already been partly digested.

ransom - theory of atonement :

Note "Before the eleventh century the dominant teaching on this subject was as old as Origen, who believed that through sin mankind had made itself subject to the devil. The mark of this subjection was death. God in his grace wished to free men, be he was unable to because the devil's claim was just. Consequently, to neutralize Satan's claim, a ransom had to be paid in the form of a valuable person over whom Satan had no right--a sinless person." Ref-0063, p. 282.

rapture - not in view : Mat. 24:40; Luke 17:34
rapture - of Elijah : Elijah - rapture
rapture - origin of term :

Note The word rapture is not found in the Bible. It is based on the Latin verb rapto, which means 'to seize' and 'to carry off,' taken from the phrase 'caught up' in the 1Th. 4:17 of the Latin Vulgate which reads: Deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Christo in aera, et sic sempe cum Domino erimus.. "...John Darby did not invent the Rapture. Huebner is correct when he explains, 'The word rapture was in use, to designate the catching up of the saints, long before 1832. For example, Joseph Mede (1586-1638) wrote, Therefore, it is not needful that the resurrection of those which slept in Christ, and the rapture of those which shall be left alive together with them in the air..." Heubner, Precious Truths Revived and Defended, p. 95. Cited in Ref-0181, October 2002, p. 3.


rapture - posttribulational - AGAINST : Mat. 25:31

Note "...if the rapture will take place in connection with the Lord's posttribulational coming, the subsequent separation of the sheep from the goats (see Mat. 25:31ff.) will be redundant. Separation will have taken place in the very act of translation." Mayhue, Richard L., 'Why a Pretribulational Rapture?,' Ref-0164, Vol. 13 No. 2, Fall 2002, pp. 244-245.


rapture - pretribulational - Darby vs. MacDonald :

Note "Margaret MacDonald... had her vision in 1830; Darby came to the pre-trib position in 1827. Besides, Margaret's vision had nothing in it about a pre-trib rapture. Anyone who thinks she was his source hasn't read the account of her vision. That is why I reprinted it in the appendix of my book, The Rapture." Ref-0181, October 2002, p. 1.


rapture - pretribulational - Ephraem the Syrian AD 373) :

Note "For all the saints and Elect of God are gathered, prior to the tribulation that is to come, and are taken to the Lord lest they see the confusion that is to overwhelm the world because of our sins." Ephraem the Syrian, A.D. 373. Ref-0031, p. 108.


rapture - pretribulational - Increase Mather :

Note "Paul Boyer says that Increase Mather proved 'that the saints would be caught up into the Air beforehand, thereby escaping the final conflagration -- an early formulation of the Rapture doctrine more fully elaborated in the nineteenth century.'" Thomas Ice, The Rapture, John 14, and Myths, Ref-0055, March 2001, 39, quoting Paul Boyer, When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture, 75.


rapture - pretribulational - Shepherd of Hermes AD 100-120 :

Note "[T]he author was told in a vision: You have escaped from the great tribulation on account of your faith, and because you did not doubt in the presence of the beast." Ref-0031, p. 230. "You have escaped from great tribulation on account of your faith, and because you did not doubt in the presence of such a beast. Go, therefore, and tell the elect of the Lord His mighty deeds, and say to them that this beast is a type of the great tribulation that is coming. If then ye prepare yourselves, and repent with all your heart, and turn to the Lord, it will be possible for you to escape it, if your heart be pure and spotless, and ye spend the rest of the days of your life in serving the Lord blamelessly." Thomas Ice, The Rapture, John 14, and Myths, Ref-0055, March 2001, 36 quoting The Shepherd of Hermas 1.4.2


rapture - pretribulational - St. Victorinus :

Note "As early as A.D. 270, St. Victorinus, Bishop of Petau, wrote a commentary on the book of Revelation in which he said, And I saw another great and wonderful sign, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is completed the indignation of God. For the wrath of God always strikes the obstinate people with seven plagues, that is, perfectly, as it is said in Leviticus; and these shall be in the last time, when the church shall have gone out of the midst" [emphasis added] St. Victorinus, Bishop of Petau, "The Writings of Tertullianus," trans. R.E. Wallis, Commentary on the Apocalypse of the Blessed John, vol. III, published by T. Clark, 1870, p. 428. Cited by Ref-0181, October 2002, p. 3.


rapture - pretribulational - views prior to 1800 :

Note "Peter Jurieu in his book Approaching Deliverance of the Church (1687) taught that Christ would come in the air to Rapture the saints and return to heaven before the battle of Armageddon. He spoke of a secret Rapture prior to His coming in glory and judgment at Armageddon. Philip Doddridge's commentary on the New Testament (1738) and John Gill's commentary on the new Testament (1748) both use the term Rapture and speak of it as imminent. It is clear that these men believed that this coming will precede Christ's descent to the earth and the time of judgment. The purpose was to preserve believers from the time of judgment. James Macknight (1763) and Thomas Scott (1792) taught that the righteous will be carried to heaven, where they will be secure until the time of judgment is over." Thomas Ice, The Rapture, John 14, and Myths, Ref-0055, March 2001, 39, quoting Paul N. Benware, Understanding End Times Prophecy: A Comprehensive Approach, pp. 197-198

rapture - vs. coming in judgment : coming - Jesus comes two times
rapture - vs. second coming - contrast : Zec. 14:4; Mal. 4:2; Mat. 24:14; Mat. 24:37-41; Mat. 25:31-34; Luke 21:11; Luke 21:15; John 14:3; Acts 1:11; 1Th. 1:10; 1Th. 3:13; 1Th. 4:13-18; 1Th. 5:1-3; 1Th. 5:9; 2Th. 1:6-9; 2Th. 2:1; 2Th. 2:3-12; Jude 1:14; Rev. 1:7; Rev. 6:12-17; Rev. 19:6-14; Rev. 20:1-7

Note The following contrasts can be seen between the rapture and the second coming. 1. Christ comes for His own (John 14:3; 1Th. 14:17; 2Th. 2:1) vs. with His own (1Th. 3:13; Jude 1:14; Rev. 19:14). 2. He comes in the air (1Th. 4:17) vs. to the earth (Zec. 14:4; Acts 1:11). 3. He claims His bride (1Th. 4:16-17) vs. He comes with His bride (Rev. 19:6-14). 4. Removal of believers (1Th. 4:17) vs. manifestation of Christ (Mal. 4:2). 5. Only His own see Him (1Th. 4:13-18) vs. Every eye shall see Him (Rev. 1:7). 6. Tribulation begins (2Th. 1:6-9) vs. millennial kingdom begins (Rev. 20:1-7). 7. Saved are delivered from wrath (1Th. 1:10; 5:9) vs. unsaved experience the wrath of God (Rev. 6:12-17). 8. No signs precede rapture (1Th. 5:1-3) vs. signs precede second coming (Luke 21:11,15). 9. Focus is Lord and church (1Th. 4:13-18) vs. focus is Israel and kingdom (Mat. 24:14). 10. World is deceived (2Th. 2:3-12) vs. Satan is bound (Rev. 20:1-2). Ref-0083, pp. 101-102 11. At the rapture, believers depart the earth (1Th. 4:15-17), but at the final event of the second coming, unbelievers are taken away from the earth (Mat. 24:37-41). 12. At the rapture, unbelievers remain on earth, but at the final event of the second coming, believers remain on earth (Mat. 25:34). 13. At the rapture, there is no mention of establishing Christ's Kingdom on earth, but at the final event of the second coming, Christ has come to set up His Kingdom on earth (Mat. 25:31,34). Mayhue, Richard L., 'Why a Pretribulational Rapture?,' Ref-0164, Vol. 13 No. 2, Fall 2002, pp. 247.

Note "But to be purified from defilement caused by contact with the dead, ritual immersion was not enough. Something special is required--something that is found in the 113th of the 613 Mandatory Commandments in Judaism. This commandment states: 'The ashes of the Red Heifer are to be used in the process of ritual purification.' According to Numbers 19, from which this commandment came, the only way to be cleansed from corpse impurity (including the case of unknown homocide, Deuteronomy 21:1-9) is to be sprinkled with water containing the ashes of a Red Heifer, and this water has to be handled by someone who is ceremonially clean." Ref-0146, p. 363. "The Mishnah records that only nine of them were ever sacrificed in all of Israel's past history" Ref-0146, p. 366. "As a ritual it was unique among all the ordinances given to Israel. It was the only sacrifice that required that the animal be a particular color. It was the only sacrifice that had to be offered outside the camp of Israel (later, outside the Temple precinct on the Mount of Olives). It was the only sacrifice in which the ahses were to be preserved after the sacrifice was burned." Ref-0146, p. 367.

Note "Shedd...cites the following contracts: 'Regeneration, accordingly, is an act; conversion is an activity, or a process. Regeneration is the origination of life; conversion is the evolution and manifestation of life. Regeneration is wholly an act of God; conversion is wholly an activity of man. Regeneration is a cause; conversion is an effect. Regeneration is instantaneous; conversion is continuous.'" Ref-0019, p. 130. "...the central thought of the doctrine of regeneration is that eternal life is imparted. Regeneration meets the need created by the presence of spiritual death." Ref-0019, p. 131. "does the Spirit seal believers after they believe the gospel or when they believe?... Although it is certainly possible to translate this last text [Eph. 1:13] as 'after hearing... after believing you were sealed,' both the grammatical possibility of contemporaneity and the overall context lead me to believe that the aorist participle is contemporaneous here. Contextually, the threefold praise to the Godhead is in the first two instances due to God's prior action (election, redemption). To be consistent, it should be this way for the third leg (in the least, sealing should not follow believing). Further, in the following context (Eph. 2:1-10), this theme of God's saving grace is given greater articulation. The metaphor of death in that passage as the state from which the elect were delivered gives no confidence that conversion precedes regeneration." Ref-0129, p. 625.

Note See covenant - unconditional "it must be noted that any interpretation which suggests that the promises to the nation of Israel have been assigned to the church because of the failure of that nation raises the question of the security involved in all of God's elective purposes. According to Munck, Paul recognizes this connection in his epistle to the Romans; and thus, after affirming the security of the elect in Christ in chapter 8, he is forced to deal in chapters 9-11 with the future of Israel in the light of their apparent fall. Munck rightly argues: 'If God has not fulfilled his promises made to Israel, then what basis has the Jewish-Gentile church for believing that the promises will be fulfilled for them?'" Robert L.

Note "Contrary to popular belief, no biblical passage teaches that Christ's resurrection body was bloodless. The statement in Luke 24:39 describing Christ's resurrection body as 'flesh and bones' does not mean His body was bloodless any more than the failure to mention skin meant that it was skinless! Neither does the statement that 'flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God' (1Cor. 15:50) exclude blood from the resurrection body, since the text excludes flesh--and Luke 24:39 states that Jesus' resurrection body includes flesh. In the Corinthian passage, Paul was simply saying that mortal flesh--unglorified bodies--cannot inherit the eternal kingdom." Ref-0142, pp. 116-117.

Note Compare Gen. 40:12,18 with Gen. 40:20 and Est. 4:16 with Est. 5:1 which illustrate similar usage of the phrases three days vs. [on] the third day. "[to the statement of Mat. 12:40] must be added all the passages which speak of 'after three days' (Mat. 27:63; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34; John 2:19), and also all the passages which speak of 'the third day' (Mat. 16:21; 17:23; 20:19; 27:64; Luke 9:22; 13:32; 18:33; 24:7,21,46; Acts 10:40; 1Cor 15:4). That these two expressions were understood to mean the same thing seems clear from Mat. 27:63-64 which says: 'We remember that that imposter said, while He was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day." Ref-0117, pp. 569-570. "Jesus predicted that He would die and be raised on the third day (Mat. 16:21; Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22).... Jesus' body was laid in the tomb on the evening of the day of preparation (Friday), the day before the Sabbath (Mat. 27:62; 28:1; Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54,56; John 19:31,42). The women returned home and rested on the Sabbath (Saturday, Luke 23:56). Early on the first day of the week (Sunday), they went to the tomb (Mat. 28;1; Mark 16:1-2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1) which was empty. Furthermore, on the same day He arose from the grave, Jesus walked with two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13), and they told Him that their Master was crucified and 'now it is the third day since this occurred' (Luke 24:21).... The most frequent reference to Jesus' resurrection is that it occurred on the third day (not the fourth day) (Mat. 16;21; 17:23; 20:19; 27:64; Luke 9:29:22; 18:33; 24:7,21,46; Acts 10:40; 1Cor. 15:4).... There are four passages (Mat. 27:63; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:34) which speak of Christ's resurrection as occurring 'after three days,' but this is speaking of the same time period as on 'the third day'... The three Markan passages are paralleled by one or two of the other Synoptic Gospels, and in each case the other Synoptic does not use 'after three days' as Mark does but 'on the third day' (Mark 8:31 = Mat. 16:21/Luke 9:22; Mark 9:31 = Mat. 17:23; Mark 10:34 = Mat. 20:19/Luke 18:33)." Ref-0044, pp. 71-72. For OT examples where portions of three days are counted as a full three days, see Ref-0044, p. 73. "Furthermore, Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah (lived ca. A.D. 100), who was the tenth in the descent from Ezra, stated: 'A day and night are an Onah ['a portion of time'] and the portion of an Onah is as the whole of it.'"

Note "If, in a passage where two resurrections are mentioned where certain souls lived at the first, and the rest of the dead lived only at the end of a specified period after the first,--if in such a passage the first resurrection may be understood to mean spiritual rising with Christ, while the second means literal rising from the grave;--then there is an end to all significance in language, and Scripture is wiped out as a definite testimony to any thing. If the first resurrection is spiritual, then so is the second, which I suppose none will be hardy enought to maintain: but if the second is literal, then so is the first, which in common with the whole primitive Church and many of the best modern expositors, I do maintain, and receive as an article of faith and hope."

Note "It is anticipated in the prophetic Scriptures that Christ by the power of His own resurrection will raise the dead in a series of resurrections, probably in the following order: 1. the church at the time of the rapture (1Cor. 15:51-53; 1Th. 4:14-17). 2. Israel and the Old Testament saints at the time of His coming to the earth to establish His kingdom (Dan. 12:2; Hos. 13:14; Mat. 22:30-31) 3. the tribulation saints at the time of His second coming (Rev. 20:4) 4 the probable resurrection of millennial saints at the end of the millennium, though this is not mentioned in the Scriptures specifically 5. the resurrection and judgement of the wicked dead at the end of the millennium (Rev. 20:12-14)" Ref-0104, pp. 215-216. "The order of events in the resurrection program would be: (1) the resurrection of Christ as the beginning of the resurrection program (1Cor. 15:23); (2) the resurrection of the church age saints at the rapture (1Th. 4:16); (3) the resurrection of the tribulation period saints (Rev. 20:3-5), together with; (4) the resurrection of Old Testament saints (Dan. 12:2; Isa. 26:19) at the second advent of Christ to the earth; and finallly (5) the final resurrection of the unsaved dead (Rev. 20:5,11-14) at the end of the millennial age. The first four stages would all be included in [the category of] the first resurrection or resurrection to life, inasmuch as all receive eternal life and the last would be the second resurrection, or the resurrection unto damnation, inasmuch as all receive eternal judgment at that time."

For, on account of sin (as recorded in Gen. 35:22), Reuben was deprived of his firstborn rights and the right concerning the Messiah (1Chr. 5:1; Gen. 49:3-4). The next following brothers, Simeon and Levi, were also excluded (Gen. 49:5-7) on account of their bloody deed at Shechem (Gen. 34:25). Thereupon Reuben's rights as the firstborn were divided as follows: The double share of the material inheritance (Deu. 21:15-17) went to Joseph (in Ephraim and Manasseh; 1Chr. 5:1-2); The priestly dignity (see Ex. 13:2,15), having regard to Ex. 32:26-28, went to Levi (Num. 3:12,45; 8:17-18); and The ruler's dignity (Gen. 43; 33; 48:14,18,19) went to Judah, Jacob's fourth son (1Chr. 5:2). Therefore is the Messiah the 'Lion out of the tribe of Judah' (Rev. 5:5; Gen. 49:9-10)." Ref-0197, p. 157.

Revelation - authorship - John : Revelation - book of - author See note
revelation - blind without : Luke 18:34
Revelation - book of - author : John; Rev. 1:1

Note "In the earliest references to Revelation, church fathers testified that the author was the apostle John...Such was the belief of Justin Martyr (ca. A.D. 100-165)...Irenaeus (120-202)...Tertullian(150-225)." Ref-0123, p. 24. "...Clement and Origen both accepted the book of Revelation as the inspired work of the apostle John." Ref-0123, p. 27. "Dionysius attempted to prove this theory [that John did not write Revelation] by pointing out vocabulary, grammatical, and stylistic differences between the book of Revelation and the gospel of John... Dionysius' objections have been ably answered by many Bible scholars and linguists [see footnote 42]." Ref-0123, p. 29. "Eusebius followed Dionysius in suggesting that the author of Revelation was not the apostle John, but a 'presbyter John' mentioned by Papias. But more than one commentator has suggested that the two proposed Johns were one and the same." Ref-0123, p. 30. "As for the authorship of the Apocalypse, Calvin suggested John Mark as a good candidate." Ref-0123, p. 34.


Revelation - book of - date written : Rev. 1:1

Note "Early Church father Irenaeus (A.D. 120-202) made a statement about the date of Revelation. Writing around A.D. 180 Irenaeus said the following: 'We will not, however, incur the risk of pronouncing positively as to the name of Antichrist; for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For that was seen not very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign.'" Ref-0055, December 2000, 312, quoting Irenaeus, Against Heresies, v.xxx.3 "...even the church historian and amillennialist Philip Schaff admits that only the later dating of the book makes sense from all we know of ecclesiastical history. He says, 'The traditional date of composition at the end of Domitian's reign (95-96) rests on the clear and weighty testimony of Irenaeus, is confirmed by Eusebius and Jerome, and has still its learned defenders.'" Mal Couch, Inerrancy: The Book of Revelation, Ref-0055, August 2001, p. 211. See Ref-0146, pp.310-311. " The fact of his banishment to Patmos is confirmed by the unanimous testimony of antiquity.[591] It is perpetuated in the traditions of the island, which has no other significance. 'John�that is the thought of Patmos; the island belongs to him; it is his sanctuary. Its stones preach of him, and in every heart, he lives.'[592] The time of the exile is uncertain, and depends upon the disputed question of the date of the Apocalypse. External evidence points to the reign of Domitian, a.d. 95; internal evidence to the reign of Nero, or soon after his death, a.d. 68. The prevailing�we may say the only distinct tradition, beginning with so respectable a witness as Irenaeus about 170, assigns the exile to the end of the reign of Domitian, who ruled from 81 to 96.[593] He was the second Roman emperor who persecuted Christianity, and banishment was one of his favorite modes of punishment.[594] Both facts give support to this tradition. After a promising beginning he became as cruel and bloodthirsty as Nero, and surpassed him in hypocrisy and blasphemous self-deification. He began his letters: 'Our Lord and God commands,' and required his subjects to address him so.[595] He ordered gold and silver statues of himself to be placed in the holiest place of the temples. When he seemed most friendly, he was most dangerous. He spared neither senators nor consuls when they fell under his dark suspicion, or stood in the way of his ambition. He searched for the descendants of David and the kinsmen of Jesus, fearing their aspirations, but found that they were poor and innocent persons.[596] Many Christians suffered martyrdom under his reign, on the charge of atheism�among them his own cousin, Flavius Clemens, of consular dignity, who was put to death, and his wife Domitilla, who was banished to the island of Pandateria, near Naples."[597] Ref-0124, 1.7.42.


Revelation - book of - grammar : Rev. 1:1

Note "In a number of places the apostle John departed from basic rules of grammar and syntax in his use of standard Koine Greek. As Swete writes, 'But from whatever cause or concurrence of causes, it cannot be denied that the Apocalypse of John stands alone among Greek literary writings in its disregard of the orginary rules of syntax.... The book seems openly and deliverately to defy the grammarian, and yet, even as literature, it is in its own field unsurpassed.'" Ref-0123, p. 69.


Revelation - book of - historical interpretation :

Note "As many as fifty different interpretations of the book of Revelation therefore evolve[d], depending on the time and circumstances of the expositor....The very multiplicity of such interpretation and identifications of the personnel of Revelation with a variety of historical characters is its own refutation. If the historical method is the correct one, it is clear until now that no one has found the key." Ref-0032, p. 19.

Revelation - book of - use of OT : Rev. 1:1

Note "Though a number of Old Testament places and names are referred to in the book, surprising all are allusions with no direct quotations. The 404 verses of Revelation include 348 allusions or indirect quotes of the Old Testament.... Using the Greek Septuagint, John alluded to each of the five books of Moses, Joshua, Judges, 2 Samuel, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, Nehemiah, Psalms, Proverbs, the major prophetic books, and seven of the minor prophets--twenty four books in all." Ref-0123, p. 71. "In the total of 404 verses, Westcott and Hort list about 265 which contain Old Testament language; and also about 550 references to Old Testament passages." Ref-0183, p. 443.

Note Midrash on Pr. 19:21 says: "Rabbi Hunah said 'Eight names are given to the Messiah which are: Yinnon, Shiloh, David, Menachem, JEHOVAH, Justi de Nostra, Tzemmach, Elias.'" Talmud (Babba Bathra Tractate 75b) says: "...the Messiah, as it is written 'and this is his name whereby he shall be called The Lord our righteousness [quoting Jer. 23:6]'..." The Midrash on Ps. 21:1 says "God calls King Messiah by his own name, but what is his name? The answer is 'Jehovah is a man of war' and concerning Messiah we read 'Jehovah our righteousness this is his name.'" Ref-0011, p. 63.

Note "The unregenerate man can, through common grace, love his family and he may be a good citizen. He may give a million dollars to build a hospital... If a drunkard, he may abstain from drink for utilitarian purposes, but he cannot do it out of love for God. All of his common virtues or good works have a fatal defect in that his motives which prompt them are not to glorify God,-- a defect so vital that it throws any element of goodness as to man wholly into the shade."

Roman Catholicism - Mary - Queen of Heaven : Jer. 7:18; Jer. 44:17-19; Jer. 44:25

Note "Finally the Immaculate Virgin... was... exalted by the Lord as Queen over all things" Ref-0166, [966]


Roman Catholicism - penance :

Note "Raised up from sin, the sinner must still recover his full spiritual health by doing something more to make amends for the sin: he must 'make satisfaction for' or 'expiate' his sins. This satisfaction is called 'penance.'" Ref-0165, p. 78 citing Catechism of the Catholic Church [1459]. "The sacrafice of penance is '...the only ordinary way by which the faithful person who is aware of serious sin is reconciled with God and with the Church...." Ref-0165, p. 79.


Roman Catholicism - second commandment : Ex. 20:4; Deu. 5:8

Note Versions of the Catechism of the Catholic Church prior to 1995 removed the second commandment and then split the tenth commandment into two in order to retain the proper number of commandments (ten). Canon Law 1188 supports the practice of displaying sacred images for the veneration of the faithful.

Rome - seven hills : Rev. 17:9

Note "Seven hills formed the nucleus of the ancient city on the left bank of the Tiber. These hills received the names of Palatine, Aventine, Caelian, Esquiline, Viminal, Quirinal, and Capitoline. [Ref-0034, II, 719-21] As Rome grew, however, the hill Janiculum on the other side of the river Tiber was often included among the seven, as Alford does, omitting the Capitoline. Later the hill Pincian to the north of the ancient city was also included in the hills of Rom as the city developed and moved north... Seiss marshals a convincing array of evidence that the seven mountains of Rev. 17:9 refer not to the seven hills of Rome but rather to successive imperial governments [Ref-0035, pp. 391-94]" Ref-0032, p. 251.


root : fruit - from root; root - holy See note; root - of David See note; root - shallow
root - holy : Rom. 11:16-24

Note "Abraham embraced the promise not only for himself but also for his bodily and spiritual descendants... Therefore he was the quarry, the rock, out of which the people of God are hewn (Isa. 51:1-2), the first recipient of the preparatory covenant and Old Testament revelation which in a special sense led directly to Christ, and which is th e'holy root' that bears the noble olive tree in the kingdom of God (Rom. 11:16-24)." Ref-0197, p. 89. "A common error is made when the 'rich root' (NASB) of the tree, into which the wild olive branches representing the Gentiles are grafted, is understood as Israel. But the apostle plainly identifies Israel with the 'natural branches' from 'a cultivated olive tree,' some of which have been broken off at the present time. ... Rather than being Israel, the root must be seen as something which provides life and nourishment to both the 'natural' and 'wild' branches--i.e., Israel and the Gentiles. While Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of this root, historically it is the covenant promise to Abraham which is no doubt in the apostle's mind. Israel was the natural branches, as it had already enjoyed the covenant privileges from the beginning. Now the Gentiles were being grafted in to share that promise--not, however, as 'the great nation,' but as 'all peoples on earth' in fulfillment of the original promise which contained both peoples." Robert L. Saucy, "Israel and the Church: A Case for Discontinuity," Ref-0199, p. 255.


root - of David : Isa. 4:2; Isa. 11:1; Isa. 11:10; Isa. 53:2; Rom. 15:12; Rev. 5:5; Rev. 22:16

Note "As the 'root' of David, He existed before David, that is, He is eternal. And as the 'offpsring' or descendent of David, He is the rightful Heir to the throne of David, and the One who will fulfill the covenanted blessings promised to David." Ref-0123, p. 93.

root - shallow : Ps. 129:6; Mat. 13:6; Mark 4:17; Luke 8:6
rose : Sharon - rose of
rose - of Sharon : Sharon - rose of
Rosh : Gen. 46:21; Eze. 38:2; Eze. 38:3; Eze. 39:1

Note May be linked with "Rus," the root from which Russia may have derived. Hebrew grammarians disagree as to whether Rosh in Eze. 38:2 is to be taken as a proper name or as an adjective denoting head, or chief. Hence, Gog could be either the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal or prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. Yet Rosh does not always appear in the sense of an adjective (Gen. 46:21).
