2 | Catastrophy: Greek "katastropho" | Matt 21:12 | Ray | 73342 | ||
Hi Tim, Webster's dictionary: catastrophe -Greek katastrophe, an overthrowing- 1. the culminating event of a drama, esp. of a tragedy, by which the plot is resolved; denouement. denouement 1. the outcome, solution, unraveling, or clarification of a plot in a drama, story, etc. 2. the point in the plot where this occurs 3.any final revelation or outcome. Tim, the more I study this passage the more I see that God is needed when the tables of men have to be turned. Yes, He turned the tables of men and brought glory to Himself. I ask why is this a catastrophy, this overthrowing. I am sure that the loss of profits of the money-changers was significant and catastrophic because of the millions of people in the city at the time. But that isn't the main definition of the word today in Webster's dictionary. The culminating event of this triumphant entrance by Christ into Jerusalem is this overturning of the tables in the temple. And yes, we receive the revelation or denouement that this is God's house and the Son of God is cleaning up His house and putting it in order. I think that someone put the "of God" in the description of the temple to make sure that the revelation would be expressed that this is indeed His house. It is understood that this temple was God's temple and it is "understood" in the Greek verb that 'He' overturned the tables. From the heart, Ray |
