Lesson 130 Amplified – SHALOM

 SHALOM

is Hebrew Aramaic

American: safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship 

This Hebrew Aramaic word was transliterated, by King James’ translators, to “salem”. 

Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

ISAIAH 53.5 But He [Jesus] was pierced for our pesha [rebellion], crumbled [crushed] for our avown [perversity]. The muwcar [chastisement] of our shalom was upon Him and with His chaburah [weals, welts, as from whiplash], we are raphah [mended, cured, healed]. 

ISAIAH 57.19: “Shalom! shalom! to the far off and to the near,” says YHWH, “and I will heal him.” 

Luke 2.25: And LO! there was a man (in Jerusalem) whose name was Simeon [“Hearing”] and this man was dikaios [equitable, just, right] and pious, confidently awaiting the paraklesin [imploration, urging, exhortation, encouragement, consolation] of Israel. And the Hagios [Holy, Sacred] Pneuma [Spirit, Ghost] was upon him, and it was spoken via oracle to him (through the Hagios Pneuma) that he wasn’t to see death before he sees the Christon [Anointed One, Messiah, Mashiyach, Christ] of the Kuriou [Lord, Master]. And he came (in the Hagios Pneuma) into the Temple. And when His parents introduced the Child Jesus into the Temple (they doing down [according] to the custom of The Law [Pentateuch, the Books of Moses, first five books of the Old Testament] concerning Him) and he [Simeon] received Him into his arms and he eulogemene [fine spoke, commended, praised, blessed] Theos [Father God] and said, “Now, fully free your slave, Despota [Despot; absolute ruler], down to Your rhema [utterance], in shalom because my eyes have seen Your Soterion [Defender, Savior] which [Whom] You prepared down [before] the face of all the peoples; a light to disclosure [revelation] to the ethnon [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] and a glory of Your people Israel.” 

Luke 7.40: And answering his unspoken question, Jesus said to him,

“Simon [in Greek; “Simeon” in Hebrew: “Hearing”]! I have something to say to you.”

Now, he says,

“Teacher! say on.”

“There were two debtors indebted to a certain lender. The one owed five hundred denarii. Now, the other owed fifty. Now, them not having anything to give back in repayment, he echarisato [granted as a favor, forgave them] both their debts. Accordingly, who of them (say you) agapesei [will unconditionally love] him more?”

And answering, Simon said,

“I would say that him to whom he echarisato the more.”

Now, He said to him,

“You correctly judged!”

And turning toward the gunaika [woman], He said to Simon,

“Look at this gunaika. When I entered into your house, you not gave me water for washing My feet, but she wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss, but from the time when I entered, who but she not ceased earnestly kissing My feet. You not anointed My head with olive oil, but she anointed My feet with myrrh because of which I say to you, ‘Her many hamartiai [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins] apheontai [are sent forth, are forsaken, are forgiven] because she egapesen much. Now, to whom puny is aphietai, puny is the agape.”

Now, He said to her,

“Your hamartiai are apheontai.”

And those reclining with Him began to say within themselves,

“Who is this? Who even aphiesin [forgives] hamartiai.”

But He said to the gunaika,

“Your pistis [faith] sesoke [has made safe, has saved] you. Go in shalom.” 

Luke 8.43: And a gune [woman] being in a flow of blood from twelve years (who had expended her whole life [livelihood, means] to physicians and wasn’t able to be cured under not even one physician), approaching from behind Him, she touched the hem of his outer garment and instantly the flow of blood stood still. And Jesus said,

“Who touched Me?”

Now contradicting, Rock and those amidst him, said,

“Chief! the throng encircles and crushes You and do you say, ‘Who was touching Me?’”

But Jesus said,

“Someone touched Me for I knew that dunamin [force, power] was issuing from Me.”

Now, seeing that she hadn’t escaped notice, the gune came trembling and fell towards Him. She announced to Him (before all the people) via what cause she had touched Him and how she was instantly cured. Now, He said to her, 

“Be encouraged, Daughter, your pistis sesoke you. Go in shalom.” 

Luke 10: Now after these events, the Kurios also appointed seventy others and sent them forth in front [ahead] of Him (by twos [in pairs]) into every city and place to which He was about to come. Then, He said to them, 

“Indeed, the harvest is many, but the workers are a puny number. Accordingly, beg of the Kuriou of the Harvest in such a way that He eject workers into His harvest. Withdraw [Go]! LO! I send you forth as lambs amidst wolves. Not carry a purse nor wallet [food bag] nor sandals and hug not even one person down the road. Now, into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Shalom to this house.’ And if in fact there is kinship of shalom, your shalom shall settle upon it but if not, it shall return to you. Now, stay in the same house eating and drinking the provisions at hand with them for the worker is deserving of his wages. Don’t change emergent from this house into another house and in whatever city that you enter, and they receive you, eat that being set before you and cure the feeble in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of Theos has come near upon you.’ 

Luke 12.49: [Jesus speaking] “I came to throw fire into the earth and how I wish that it were already kindled. Now I have to be baptisthenai [immersed, submerged, baptized] with a baptisma and how I am stressed so long as it is not completed. Do you think that I have arrived to give shalom in the earth? No indeed! (conversely) I say to you, rather disunion.” 

Luke 18.36: Now, Him going, they [others] spread out their outer garments in the road for the ass to walk upon them. And even now (drawing near to the descent of the Mount of Olives), all the crowd of the matheton [learners, pupils, disciples] began rejoicing to praise Theos with megale [big, large, huge, great] phone [sound, tone, noise, voice] concerning all the dunamen [works of power] they had seen, saying, “Blest is the King coming in the name [authority] of the Kuriou!” 

PSALM 118.26: “Kneel to Him, coming in the name [authority] of YHWH [Jehovah, Jahway]!”

 

[Continuation of Luke] “Shalom in Ourano [Heaven] and glory in the Highest [level of Heaven?]”

And some of the Pharisees (from the crowd) said toward Him,

“Teacher! admonish Your mathetais!” 

And answering, He said to them,  

I tell you that if these are caused to be silent, the stones kekrxontai [ will shriek, will scream, will cry out, will caw as ravens]!”

 

Luke 24.36: Now, after they said these words, Jesus Himself suddenly stood in the middle of them [changed dimensions again?] and says to them,

“Shalom to you!”

But being caused to be frightened and in fear, they thought they were spectators of a pneuma [spirit, ghost]. And He said to them,

Why are you agitated? and why do imaginations arise in your hearts? See by My hands, and My feet that I AM HE! Touch Me and see because a pneuma hasn’t flesh and bones, just as you are spectators of Me having.”

But while they were still apistounton [without faith], from charas [cheerfulness, calm delight, joy] and marveling, He said to them,

“Have you something edible here?”

They handed Him a piece of cooked fish and a piece of honeycomb. And taking these, He ate them before their faces.  

Hebrews 7: For this Melchizedek, King of Shalom [“Salem” is the transliteration from Hebrew Aramaic to English by King James’ translators], Priest of the Most High Theos, is the One meeting Abraham on his returning from the slaughter of the kings and eulogesas [to speak well of, to praise, to bless] him; to Whom indeed Abraham divided a tenth from everything; firstly, being hermeneumenos [translated, interpreted] King of Dikaiosunes [equity, justification, rightness]; then also King of Shalom, which is King of Eirene [peace]. Historically He is without father, without mother, without genealogetos [genealogy] nor beginning of days nor having end of life but having been made as the Son of Theos, remains a Priest in perpetuity. 

Hebrews 12.14: Pursue shalom and hagiasmon [holiness, purity] with everyone, without which not even one person will see the Kuriou. Be diligently watching out lest any lack from the charitos [graciousness] of Theos, lest any root of bitterness growing up, disturb and via this many be defiled.

 

John 13.18: I not speak concerning all of you for I know whom I chose but in order that the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] be fulfilled: One eating bread with Me has raised up his heel upon Me.” 

PSALM 41.9 “Even a man of My shalom (in whom I trusted, eating of My bread) has lifted up his heel against Me.” 

John 14.27: [Jesus speaking] Shalom I leave to you; not as the kosmos [universe, world, cosmos] gives, do I give to you. Not let your hearts be agitated nor let it [them] be fearful. You heard that I told you: I will disappear, and I will come back to you.

Lesson 129 Amplified -- MUSTERION

 MUSTERION

American: secrets, mysteries 

As Christians, our interest is in the secrets and mysteries of the Kingdom of God. 

Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

2^nd Thessalonians 2: Brothers! we ask you over the coming of our Kurios [Lord, Master] Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ], and our gathering together to Him, not to waver in the nous [intellect, mind, understanding]; not to be frightened neither via pneuma [wind, breath, spirit] nor via logos [word] nor via letter (as if from me) as if the Day of the Christos is come. Let not even one person deceive you not (in no way) because unless the apostasia [defection from the truth, apostasy] comes first and the man of hamartia [misses of the mark or goal, error, offense, sin] is revealed (the son of destruction, he who is opposite to Theos and is exalting himself over everything relating to Theos [Father God] or object of worship), to sit down in the Temple of Theos, as if Theos (showing that he himself is a theos), the Day of the Christos hasn’t come. Don't you remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? And now, you know that one is holding down his being revealed until his set time. For the musterion of anomias [lawlessness] is already energeitai [active]. Now, he is merely holding him down until it comes into being emergent from the middle. Then the anomos [lawless one] will be revealed, whom the Kurios will destroy by the pneumati [breaths, spirits] of His mouth and katargesei [render him entirely idle or useless] by the manifestation of Himself at His return; of whom [him, the lawless one] is the parousia [coming] down of the energeian [efficiency, energy] of Satanas in all dunamis [force, power] of pseudes [false, deceitful, pseudo] semeia [signs, indications] and terasi [wonders] and with all unjust delusions in the lost because they not received the agape [unconditional love] of the truth, whereby they might sothenai [be made safe, be saved]. Because of their rejection of the truth, Theos will send to them fraudulent energeian for them to pisteusai [to put their faith in], pseudes [falsehoods, lies] in order that all those not pisteusantes in the truth but having approved injustice, may be condemned. 

1^st Corinthians.2: Coming to you, brothers, I not came kataggellon [promulgating, publishing, officially making known] the testimony of Theos down [according] to superiority of logos or wisdom for I decided not to know anything in you except Jesus, the Christou, and Him having been crucified. In feebleness, in fear and in much trembling, I was with you. My logos and my kerugma [proclamations] were not in persuasive man wisdom logoi; conversely, in manifestation of the Hagios Pneuma and in dunameos in order that your pistis [reliance, faith] not be in the wisdom of men but in the dunamei of Theos. Now, I do speak wisdom in the complete [perfected] ones but not the wisdom of this age, neither the wisdom of the chiefs of this age katargoumenon [those being rendered entirely idle, useless]; conversely, I speak a wisdom of Theos in musterion having been kept secret, which Theos predetermined before the ages for our glory, which not even one of the chiefs of this age has known. For if they had known, they hadn’t crucified the Kurion of glory. Conversely, even as it has been written,

“What eye didn’t see, and ear didn’t hear and not came up in the heart of man, this is how Theos prepared those agaposin [unconditionally loving] Him.”

 

ISAIAH 64.4: “From forever they haven’t heard; they not gave ear. Eye hasn’t seen an Elohiym [plural “Gods” -- the Trinity?] (except You) Who works for him who waits for Him.”

 

[Paul continues] But to us, Theos revealed the mysteries via His Hagios Pneuma for the Hagios Pneuma searches all, even the profundity of Theos. For whom (in men) knows the thoughts of a man except the pneuma of the man which is in him? So also, the thoughts of Theos not even one being has known except the Hagios Pneuma of Theos. Now, we have not received the pneuma of the kosmou [universe, world, cosmos]; conversely, we have received the Hagios Pneuma Who is emergent from Theos in order that we may know the truths gratuitously given to us by Theos. These words I also speak, not in wisdom logoi taught of man, conversely, in words taught of the Hagios Pneuma, comparing the spiritual thoughts with the spiritual words. A natural man not receives the truths of the Hagios Pneuma of Theos for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to know them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual One (in fact) discerns all but He is discerned by not even one person. For who knew the mind of the Kuriou? Who will teach Him?

 

ISAIAH 40.13: Who has meted out the Qodesh [Hagios] Ruwach [Pneuma] of YHWH? or a man His counsel taught Him?

 

1^st Corinthians 15.50: I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood isn’t able to inherit the Kingdom of Theos nor is decay able to inherit imperishability. LO! I tell you a musterion. Indeed, we shan’t all be put to sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment (in a jerk of the eye) in the final reverberation. For it will trumpet and the dead will be awakened imperishable, and we shall be changed for this decaying body must be clothed with imperishability and this mortal body must be clothed with athanasian [deathlessness, immortality]. When this decayed shall be clothed with imperishability and this mortal be clothed with athanasian, then will occur the logos written,

“Death was swallowed into victory. Where is your sting, O Death? Where, O Haides [Unseen, subterranean world of the dead, Hades], is your victory?” 

HOSEA 13.14: [YHWH speaking] “From Sheol’s hand I will ransom them. From Death, I will redeem them. Where are your plagues, O Death? Where are your exterminations, O Sheol [Haides]?”

 

Romans 11.25: Now, I don't want you to be ignorant of this musterion, brothers, (lest you be wise in yourselves [your own estimation]) that a part off Israel is caused to be callous until the ethnon [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] enter completion and then in this way all Israel sothesetai [will be made safe, will be saved], just as has been written, “The Rescuer will arrive emergent from Zion and He will turn away [back] Jacob from impiety.”

 

ISAIAH 59.20: “... the Redeemer comes to Zion and to those in Jacob, turning them back from rebellion.”

 

[Paul continues] “This is the blood covenant (from Me) with them, when I remove their hamartias.”

 

DEUTERONOMY 7.8: … the fostering El [Theos], keeping the blood covenant …

 

ISAIAH 27.9: [YHWH speaking] “... by this will the perversity of Jacob be covered, and all the fruit is to turn away his offense.”

 

Romans 16.25: Now, to the One capable of sterichan [securely setting, making one steadfast], down to my euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] and the kerugma [proclamation] of Jesus, the Christou, down to the revelation of the musteriou, having been kept secret for eternal past ages but now revealed via prophetikon [prophetic] writings, made known down to the command of the eternal Theos, to obedience of pisteos [reliance, faith] to all the ethne, the sole wise Theos; to Whom (via Jesus, the Christou) be glory to the ages. Amen! 

Colossians 1.24: Now, I rejoice in my sufferings over you and supplement the deficit of the stresses of the Christou in my flesh over His somatos [body], which is the ekklesia [assembly, church] of which I was caused to be a servant down to administration from Theos. That administration was given to me to [for] you, to make replete [complete] the Logos of Theos the musterion having been kept from the ages [beginning of time] and from the generations but now was revealed to His hagios, to whom Theos ethelesen [determines, chooses, decides, decrees] to make known what is the wealth of the glory of this musterion in the ethnesin: the Hagios Pneuma, Who is the Christos inside of you, the elpis [expectation, hope] of glory. We kataggellomen [promulgate, publish, officially make known] Him, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom in order that we may stand beside [present] every man complete in Jesus, the Christo, to [for] which I also labor, competing [struggling] down to His energeian [activity, efficiency], the One energoumenen [active, efficient] in me in dunamei [force, power, works of power].

2. For I want you to know how great contention [anxiety] I have with respect to you and those in Laodicea and as many [all] who haven’t seen my face in the flesh in order that their hearts might be parakthosin [called near, invited, urged, exhorted, encouraged], being driven together in agape and to all wealth of making understanding replete to recognition of the musterion of Theos the Father and of the Christou in Whom is secreted all the wealth of wisdom and knowledge. And this I say in order that not even one man delude [deceive] you in persuasive language for if (in fact) I am absent in flesh, conversely, I am with you in pneumatic [spirit], rejoicing and looking at your orderliness and the stability of your pisteos into the Christon.

 

Ephesians 3: Eulogetos [Fine spoken of, Commended, Blest, Praised] be the Theos and Father of our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou, Who blest us with all spiritual eulogesas [blessings] above the sky [in Heaven], in Jesus, the Christo, as He selected us before the founding of the kosmou to be hagious [holy, sacred, consecrated one; saint] and unblemished before Him. He was predestining us (in agape) to adoption via Jesus, the Christou, to Himself down [according] to His good pleasure and thelematos [determination, choice, decision, decree], to the praise of His glory and charitos [graciousness] with which He favored us in the Egapemeno [Beloved] in Whom we have redemption via Jesus’ blood; aphesin [forgiveness] of paraptomaton [side slips, lapses, deviations] down to the riches of the Father’s charitos. Which graciousness He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and intelligence, making known to us the musterion of His thelematos down to His good pleasure, which Father proposed (in Himself) for administration of the fullness of times, to head up all the ouranois [heavens, skies] and the earth in the Christo. In Him [Jesus], we have been selected to be an inheritance, being predestined down to the purpose of the Father, all working down to His boulen [will, resolve, intention]; His thelematos [determination, choice, decision, decree] for us to be His praise and glory, those having previously trusted in the Christo. In Him [Jesus], you were also hearing the logon of truth, the euaggelion of your soterias [rescue, safety; salvation] and in Whom you pisteusantes [were also having reliance or faith]. You were sealed up with the epaggelias [announced, proclaimed, promised] Hagios Pneuma, Who is the arrhabona [pledge, earnest, down payment] of our inheritance until the redemption of the possession to Jesus’ praise and glory. 

1^st Timothy 3.14: I write these words to you elpizon [expecting, hoping] to come toward you before long but if I delay, know that you must know how to behave in the house of Theos (which is the ekklesia of Theos) the living pillar and support of the truth. And by confession, mega is the musterion of godliness. Theos was rendered apparent [manifested] in flesh, was edikaiothe [justified] in the Hagios Pneuma, was gaped at by aggelois, was ekeruchthe [proclaimed, heralded] in the ethnesin [nations], episteuthe [had faith put in Him] in the kosmou, and was taken up in glory.

Lesson 128 Amplified-- MURIOI

 MURIOI

American: 10,000, innumerable, myriads 

This Koine Greek word is best defined as countless or innumerable. In mathematics the terminology would be “unbounded”. 

Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Acts 21.17: Now, we [Luke with Paul] being caused to be in Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us. Now the following day, Paul went in with us, both to James Bar Joseph and all the elders were present. And having hugged the same, he related down in each [one by one] of what Theos did in the ethnesi [races, nations, non-Jews, gentiles] via his service. Now hearing, they praised the Kurion [Lord, Master] and said to the same,

“You see, brother, how many muriades there are of Jews episteukoton [having had faith] and they are all zealotai [zealots] of THE LAW [Pentateuch, The Books of Moses, first five books of the Old Testament]. 

Jude 9: Similarly (however), also these dreamers [fantasizers] (in fact) sully the flesh, reject authority and blasphemousin [speak irreverently of, speak profanely of, blaspheme] glorious Ones. But even Michael the archaggelos [chief messenger, chief angel] (when diakrinomenos [thoroughly separating from, withdrawing from] the diabolo [leader to shame, devil, satyr], in dielegeto [thoroughly discussing, arguing] concerning the somatos [body] of Moses), not was bold to lay upon him blasphemias krisin [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] but said, “The Kurios admonish you!” But these fantasizers blasphemousin as much as they not properly know. But what they speak as irrational living beings, in these ideas they are physically shriveled. Woe to them! because they went the road of Cain and to the fraudulence of Balaam, who poured themselves forth for wages and as in the disobedience of Korah, perished. These are in your agapais [love feasts]; rock reefs feasting with you, feeding themselves without fear; waterless clouds being carried around under the power of winds; barren late-autumn trees twice dying off, having been uprooted; wild swells of the sea foaming upon their disgrace; roving stars [planets] for whom has been kept gloom of shadowiness to the age. And Enoch proepheteuse [before told, spoke under inspiration, prophesized] of these in the seventh generation from Adam, saying, “LO! the Kurios came (with muriasin of His hagiais [holy, sacred, consecrated ones; saints]) to do krisin [a decision, a judgment rendered, a verdict] against all and to fully convict all the irreverent of them concerning all their irreverent works which they impiously did and concerning all the dry words which they spoke down to [against] Him.”These are irreverent hamartoloi [missers of the mark or goal, erring ones, offenders, sinners] grumblers, blaming fate, walking down to their yearnings. Their puffed-up mouth insolently speaks; their faces admiring [flattering] for the sake of opheleias [advantage] over you. 

Revelation 5: And I saw a biblos [roll, scroll, writing, book] on the right of the One [Father God] sitting down upon the Throne, having been written from inside and from the back; having been closely sealed with seven seals. And I saw a forceful [powerful] aggelon [messenger, angel] kerussonta [proclaiming, heralding] with megale [big, large, huge, great] phone [sound, tone, noise, voice], “Who is deserving [worthy] to open the biblos and to loosen the signet seals of the same?” And not even one being in Ourano [Heaven] nor upon the earth nor down under the earth was able to open up the biblos nor to look at the same. And I [John] greatly sobbed because not even one being was deserving to open and to read the biblos nor to look upon the same. And one emergent from the elders says to me, “Don't sob. LO! the Lion subdued (being of the offshoot [tribe] of Judah, the root of David) such that He is able to open up the biblos and to loosen the seven signet seals of the same.” And I saw and LO! in the middle of the Throne and in the middle of the four living beings [seraphim] and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb standing (as if having been butchered) having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Hagios Pneumata [Winds, Breaths, Spirits] of Theos, having been sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the biblos emergent from the right of the One sitting down upon the Throne. And when He took the biblos, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down in the face of the Lamb, each having lyres and bowls of gold, full of fragrances which are the proseuchai [prayers] of the hagion [holy ones, sacred ones, consecrated ones; saints] And they sing a new song, saying, “Deserving are You to take the biblos and to open up the signet seals of the same because You were butchered and bought us to our Theos in Your blood, emergent from every offshoot and tongue and people and ethnous [nation, race] and made us sovereigns and priests to our Theos and we shall rule upon the earth.” And I saw and I heard a phone of many aggelon encircling the Throne and the living beings and the elders and the number of them was muriades of muriadon saying with megontes phone, “Deserving is the Lamb (having been butchered) to take dunamin [force, power] and wealth and wisdom and forcefulness and timen [value, esteem, dignity] and glory and eulogian [fine speaking of, praise, blessing].” And all the created beings which are in Ourano and in the earth and down under the earth and upon the sea and the created creatures the same; I heard all of them saying, “To the One sitting down upon the Throne and to the Lamb, eulogia and time [value, esteem, dignity] and glory and forcefulness to the ages of the ages.”
