Hypothetical scenario: You and your family live in a rather small town. Your father is a very well- known, respected and upstanding man in your town. Your father owns a few small businesses and is also one of the voters approved elected Judges of the town in the court system. Your mother is also well known and respected. One day your two brothers approach you and say, “Hey, get in the back seat of the car and take a road trip with us.” You have no reason not to trust your two brothers, so it is an easy decision to get in the back seat of the car and go on the road trip with them. You think it might be a surprise and hopefully is going to be a fun trip with your two brothers. Your brothers withhold the destination from you, they do not tell you where they are taking you, they do not give you one single clue about the trip. Maybe they just tell you, “It is all going to be a surprise!” The ride is lasting for quite a while, you are now in a town a few hours away and they stop at a gas station. Your two brothers say to you, “Stay in the car. Do not get out of the car. We are going to get some snacks for the rest of the trip.” They both get out of the car and go into the gas station store. While you are waiting in the back seat of the car, you suddenly hear a few gun shots coming from inside the store, and soon after your two brothers arrive back to the car and start speeding away from the scene. Your brothers begin boasting about what they just did, saying, “Yeah, we just robbed that gas station, stole about $1,000 dollars from the safe, and we had to kill the clerk because he tried to pull out a gun from under the counter, so we had to protect ourselves!” You are in shock, asking them, “What did you do? Why did you do that?” Your two brothers give you no explanation and say, “Keep quiet about this and do not tell anyone. Forget this ever happened.” The entire ride home you are silent. The entire ride home you are in shock. Upon arriving home, you go in your house, still silent and in shock. You wish you had decided not to go with them that day. So, a few days later, it is dinner time at your house. All five of you, father, mother, your two brothers, and you, are sitting down at the dinner table eating dinner; There is a knock at the front door. Your father walks to the front door, and the FBI is at the front door with a warrant to search the house. The FBI are looking to find three suspects that were involved in the armed robbery and murder case. Your father allows the FBI inside. The FBI recognizes your two brothers from the photos and video. The FBI also recognizes the third suspect, from the video footage that is from outside the gas station store, and that third suspect, is you. Your father is shocked and speechless as he watches all three of his sons being handcuffed and taken into custody. A court date is immediately set. As it turns out, your two brothers, and yourself are going to stand trial. The Judge presiding over the case is, your own Father. At the end of the trial, your father, the Judge, has no choice but to hand down the consequences to all three of his own sons. Heartbroken, your Father hands down the consequences: His two sons, the “drivers” who premeditated and carried out the crime, are given life in prison, with no possibility of parole. Your father knows you were not involved in the crime itself. But because he is a fair Judge, he knows he must give you a consequence also. You, the “captive,” are given life in prison, but with the possibility of parole. A life sentence, yes, but, with the possibility of parole, that makes your sentence a little fairer, for you. To break it down very clear: “Drivers” premeditated the crime, then intentionally carried out that crime. “Drivers” receive life in prison, with no possibility of parole. The “Captive” was seduced or tricked into coming along for the ride, without knowing there was going to be a crime. The “Captive” did not participate in the crime but is guilty by association. The “Captive” could have refused to get in the vehicle in the first place. The “Captive” receives life in prison, but with the possibility of parole. That is the difference between the “Drivers” and the “Captives” in this concept. Remember this concept, because it will come into play later in this book. Hebrew and Greek Words I believe that the LORD God is fully capable of preserving two things: 1. His Words 2. The Definitions of His Words The Word of God was written many thousands of years ago, in a very different language. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew. The New Testament was written in Greek. Each Hebrew and Greek word can have 1 or 2 or 3 or 4+ different possible definitions, and a set of “Synonyms” to help with understanding. Just like your own current language, there are “Root” words, and from that “Root” word, the word branches out to different words, with slightly different meanings as it changes from a noun to a verb or adjective. (or any combination, verb to adjective to noun, etc.). Examples: Act, Actor, Acting. Build, Built, Builders, Building. Reserve, Reserved, Reserving. Believe, Believer, Believing. These are just a few examples, but I hope you get the idea. Hebrew and Greek words are no different, the same concept applies. Let’s Break Down a set of Hebrew Words: ‛âtsab, ‛etseb, ‛ôtseb This is how it works: ‛âtsab: Verb: a primitive root; Definition: properly to carve, that is, fabricate or fashion; hence (in a bad sense) to worry, pain or anger: ‛âtsab: becomes ‛etseb: ‛etseb: Noun: Definition: (from ‛âtsab) an earthen vessel; usually (painful) toil; also a pang (whether body or mind): ‛ôtseb: is a variation of ‛etseb: (variation = practically the same word). ‛ôtseb: Noun: Definition: an idol (as fashioned); also pain (bodily or mental) It takes a bit of practice, but it is easier the more you practice. So, let’s do a practice run applying that knowledge of the Hebrew word: Sorrow: ‛ôtseb: an idol (as fashioned); also pain (bodily or mental) Sorrow: an Idol; an Earthen Vessel; Pain; synonymous. Practice Reading and Studying the Definitions Please open your King James Bible to Isaiah 14:3: Isaiah 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, The “Underlined” of Isaiah 14:3 are words we are going to break down so we can know what this verse is saying: LORD is Hebrew Word: yehôvâh: (the) self-Existent or eternal; Jehovah. Sorrow is Hebrew Word: ‛ôtseb: an idol (as fashioned); also pain (bodily or mental). Fear is Hebrew Word: rôgez: commotion, restlessness, crash, disquiet, anger. Hard Bondage is Hebrew Word: ‛ăbôdâh: work, labor, bondage, (slavery) (tillage). Wherein thou wast made to serve is one single Hebrew Word: ‛âbad: to work, serve, till, (causatively) enslave, etc – keep in bondage. So, by breaking down the definitions of the Hebrew Words individually, we can understand what this verse is saying: Let’s translate: “In The Day” that YOU are Born Again by Christ’s Holy Spirit.” Isaiah 14:3 – from the Definitions: And it shall come to pass in the day that the Self-Existent Eternal Jehovah shall give you REST from your idol, and from your anger/commotion, and from the slavery (slavery to sin) wherein you were enslaved, What a GREAT Message from the LORD! I don’t know about you, but I needed REST from all those things! Remember, Isaiah 14:3 is talking about, after you are Born Again by Christ’s Holy Spirit. Let me break down a very small part of that verse using the Hebrew word, “Sorrow”: Sorrow: ‛ôtseb: an idol; Hence Variation of ‛etseb: an earthen vessel: The LORD will give you REST from your “idol.” The LORD will give you REST from your “earthen vessel.” Sorrow is your idol (pain) and Sorrow is your earthen vessel.
