MICAH 5:2 Complete Jewish Bible

Micah 5:1... Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

But you, Beit-Lechem near Efrat,so small among the clans of Y’hudah,out of you will come forth to me the future ruler of Isra’el,whose origins are far in the past, back in ancient times.

Neither is there SALVATION in any other; for there is NO OTHER NAME+ under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12

That at the NAME of YESHUA+ every knee shall bow, of beings in Heaven, beings in earth, and beings under the earth; and that every tongue should proclaim that YESHUA+ MASHIYACH+ is LORD, to the Glory of ALAHA, His+ FATHER.
Philippians 2:10-11

,,, That Ye Might Believe.... RESURRECTION WEEK , Day 3 .... ETERNAL LIFE or ETERNAL DAMNATION ?


ETERNAL LIFE 



 The Resurrection Season was not limited to Resurrection Sunday. It lasted until Ascension Day.  This Resurrection "season" was the 40 days and 40 nights the Resurrected LORD Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA  spent with His+ disciples, coming and going among them --- in His+ glorified body ---, teaching them things and opening their understanding unto the Scriptures  which told about HIM+. 

These Scriptures, of course, were the Prophets and Patriarchs and Psalms found in the Old Covenant because ... the New had not yet been written. 

... That Ye Might Believe ............


But these things have been written,
in order that ye might believe
 that Y’SHU+ is the M’SHIKHA,
the SON+ of GOD;
and that believing,
LIFE
ye might have 
through His+ Name.
John 20:31
 *** Literal Greek

+  +  +

MEDITATION

All the flurry of events recorded in the Gospel accounts of when the Followers of Y’SHU+ first saw HIM+ in His+ glorified Body --- including the crucifixion scars --- were recorded for one purpose:  that we all might believe in Y’SHU+.


Now,  BELIEVE ... that particular Greek verb is a familiar word,  pisteu0 # 4100 in Strong's.


It normally is translated as "believe." It means to credit with faith or to trust.


Let's replace "believe" with "trust" in this verse.

But these things have been written,
in order that ye might
TRUST
that Y’SHU+ is the M’SHIKHA,
the SON+ of GOD;

and that TRUSTING,
ye might have
 LIFE
through His+ Name.

Thus, these accounts were recorded so that we might TRUST that Y’SHU+ is the REAL M’SHIKHA Who+ was to come into the world.

Now, let's look at another familiar verse , the last verse in the third chapter of John, verse 3:36.

He that believes [ TRUSTS]
on the SON+
has everlasting life:

and [but]
he that believes  not
[ DISOBEYS]  the  SON+
shall not see LIFE;

but [ contrariwise]
the wrath of GOD
abides on him.
+  +  +
Let's CAREFULLY compare, now, the ARAMAIC / Syriac Peshitta translations with the Greek and Latin ~  courtesy of Dukhrana.com.  

The AENT by Andrew Roth has translated this verse basically the same way as the classic translators of the Peshitta: [ Dr. Etheridge, Dr. Murdock, and Mr. Lamsa, respectively, with the Clementine Latin Vulgate and the Byzantine Textform to follow. ] 

- ܡܰܢ ܕ݁ܰܡܗܰܝܡܶܢ ܒ݁ܰܒ݂ܪܳܐ ܐܺܝܬ݂ ܠܶܗ ܚܰܝܶܐ ܕ݁ܰܠܥܳܠܰܡ ܘܡܰܢ ܕ݁ܠܳܐ ܡܶܬ݁ܛܦ݁ܺܝܣ ܠܰܒ݂ܪܳܐ ܠܳܐ ܢܶܚܙܶܐ ܚܰܝܶܐ ܐܶܠܳܐ ܪܽܘܓ݂ܙܶܗ ܕ݁ܰܐܠܳܗܳܐ ܢܩܰܘܶܐ ܥܠܰܘܗ݈ܝ ܀ 


John 3:36 - He who believeth in the Son hath the life which is eternal; and he who obeyeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Aloha remaineth on him. 

John 3:36 - He that believeth on the Son, hath life eternal; but he who obeyeth not the Son, shall not see life. but the wrath of God will abide upon him. 


John 3:36 - He who believes in the Son has eternal life; and he who does not obey the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God shall remain on him. 

John 3:36 - Qui credit in Filium, habet vitam æternam: qui autem incredulus est Filio, non videbit vitam, sed ira Dei manet super eum. 


John 3:36 - ο πιστευων εις τον υιον εχει ζωην αιωνιον ο δε απειθων τω υιω ουκ οψεται ζωην αλλ η οργη του θεου μενει επ αυτον 


Here, then, is a major, MAJOR problem with this KJV translation.

There are two DIFFERENT GREEK words used for "believe," but the KJV translators reduced them down to one common word. 

( NOTE: It seems rather that the translators may have "switched" to follow the Latin Vulgate for this one verse. ~ sjh  + + + )


That was most unfortunate.  The Christian world has paid dearly for that verse's errors. 


Because the translators were not completely honest in their translating, many, many souls have relegated their walk with GOD to a mere mental "agreement" to an historical event.


By accepting the ERRORS, for instance, a reader might think that BELIEVING was a mental exercise... sort of like agreeing with the FACT of an historical event, that the event took place.  For instance, we believe that Napoleon lived and led his people into wars. 


That is a mental belief, based on trust-worthy historical records.  It requires NO CHANGE OF HEART to accept that as a true fact even though we who are alive now did not experience the Napoleonic wars.

No change of heart is required as long as one holds to the "correct" doctrines, yes ?

NO.  Absolutely NOT.

A change of heart is required. Belief is NOT a mere mental agreement to an historical fact.  


In Scripture the pisteu0 word entails a TRUSTING of one's Self to Y’SHU+ M’SHIKHA. That act goes far beyond a mental acceptance as a "belief."


This kind of believing is made effective ONLY BY EXPERIENCE, only when we actively ARE entrusting our lives unto HIM+.


The second word is apeithe0. That is the second "believe (not) " found in John 3:36.


Now this word is scary ! This verse is terrifying, if read in the Greek. 


This "believe (not)" literally means " to refuse to be persuaded"... and that means "obstinately and willfully refusing GOD'S will even when one knows it."  It means being stubborn... stubbornly un-accepting  GOD'S Truth even though one  KNOWS  HE+  is  right.    

 
ETERNAL DAMNATION



For that person, the WRATH of GOD abides on ---  remains on ---  sits on him.  He cannot turn to the left hand nor to the right without running head-long into the wrath of GOD.


But these things have been written,
in order that ye might
TRUST
that Y’SHU+ is the M’SHIKHA,
the SON+ of GOD;
and that TRUSTING,
ye might have
LIFE
through His+ Name.

+  +  +

Let Us Pray...

O Gracious Heavenly FATHER,

I come to THEE in trembling for all the persons I know who are willfully obstinate in their refusal to bend the knee to THEE and to Thy SON+, The RISEN LORD Y’SHU+.

Grant me, I beseech THEE, an anointing to reach these lost, lost souls for THEE.


Help me to pray with Thine Anointing.


Let the fire of Thy SPIRIT go forth, so that not by might nor by power, but by Thy SPIRIT may their yoke of hardness be broken, O LORD, that they may be saved from facing Thy wrath.


We know, O Merciful FATHER, that it is Thy desire that all should turn and be saved and come to the knowledge of the TRUTH+.   

For  it is written,  Turn ye, Turn ye, at MY Reproof, for why will ye die ?  

Therefore, we ask these things in the Name of Thy Beloved SON+ our Risen and Glorified Y'SHU+ ha M'SHIKHA. Amen.





+  +  +

I+ am the resurrection, and the life:
 he that believeth in ME+,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:

And whosoever liveth
and believeth in ME+
shall never die.

Believest thou this?

Yes, LORD, I+ believe
 that THOU+ art the M’SHIKHA,
the SON+ of GOD,
 WHO+ should come into the world.
+  +  +
