1 | What is worship supposed to be like? | Ps 43:4 | Searcher56 | 215244 | ||
God's day to you, keliy Did you know the word for worship in John 4 is proskuneo which means to kiss the hand to (towards) one, in token of reverence. It means we need to think of Him as the One who absolute control over us. While not Catholic, I picture kissing the Pope's ring. One doesn't sing, do service or anything else. It would be hard to do anything but worship, since it can detract. In the Hebrew it is shachah ... to bow down. Note 13 times in Revelation worship (proskuneo) of God appears ... yet to we pratice it today, or have our knees grown stiff. Searcher Searcher |

2 | What is worship supposed to be like? | Ps 43:4 | keliy | 215252 | ||
Thank you, Searcher. Your post blessed me, for I had not even thought of looking into the Greek. I did take a beginner's course in Koine Gk last year, but I had a long day today. (I am without excuse for my slackness, -even though I enjoy the challenging aspect of my job, I worked outside on a chilly Wisconsin day today, the first day back on the job after a four month layoff. And this, after breaking two ribs and a fractured (T11) vertabrae only 1 month ago. 3-13-09) So you see, your post was welcome, as I am filling up a list of blessings for just today, and I have a lot to be in worship for. For if Christ had not risen, I would be unable to partake in this "resurrection living" that keeps me running the race with tenacity and endurance.. As you picture someone kissing the pope's ring, I pictured my own 6 mo. old puppy who can hardly stop licking my hand. So, I turned to Vine's Dictionary for the following, additional information: Greek: proskuneo -Verb -Strong's Number: 4352 Worship (Verb and Noun), Worshiping: "to make obeisance, do reverence to" (from pros, "towards," and kuneo, "to kiss"), is the most frequent word rendered "to worship." It is used of an act of homage or reverence (a) to God, e.g., Mat 4:10; Jhn 4:21-24; 1Cr 14:25; Rev 4:10; 5:14; 7:11; 11:16; 19:10 (2nd part); Rev 22:9; (b) to Christ, e.g., Mat 2:2, 8, 11; 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 20:20; 28:9, 17; Jhn 9:38; Hbr 1:6, in a quotation from the Sept. of Deu 32:43, referring to Christ's Second Advent; (c) to a man, Mat 18:26; (d) to the Dragon, by men, Rev 13:4; (e) to the Beast, his human instrument, Rev 13:4, 8, 12; 14:9, 11; (f) the image of the Beast, Rev 13:15; 14:11; 16:2; (g) to demons, Rev 9:20; (h) to idols, Act 7:43. Note: As to Mat 18:26, this is mentioned as follows, in the "List of readings and renderings preferred by the American Committee" (see RV Classes of Passages, IV): "At the word 'worship' in Mat 2:2, etc., add the marginal note 'The Greek word denotes an act of reverence, whether paid to man (see Mat 18:26) or to God (see Mat 4:10)'." The Note to Jhn 9:38 in the American Standard Version in this connection is most unsound; it implies that Christ was a creature. J. N. Darby renders the verb "do homage" [see the Revised Preface to the Second Edition (1871) of his New Translation]. |
