Greetings New Creature! Sorry that it took me so long to respond! I have been very busy this week! :-) The word used in John 3:3 is 'eidon'. I do not believe that this verse refers to actually 'seeing' the Kingdom, but experiencing the Kingdom. This word is used in this sense many times in the NT. For instance: 1 Pet. 3:10 - "For, 'Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech.'" Luke 2:21 - "And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ." See also Heb. 11:5. Rev. 18:7 - "To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.'" Acts 2:14 - "Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay." Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello again Tim Thank you brother Tim, for helping me SEE my way through this. Your reply has been very helpful to me, and will be used to help me gain a clearer understanding of Scripture in future uses of the word "see." Thanks you once again; New Creature |

Greetings New Creature! Oh! Bad puns! :-) While I was looking up the meaning of 'see', I was reminded of how difficult a task translation can be! There are a total of 6 distinct meanings for 'eidon' with a total of 10 shades of meaning listed in BAG. Many think that translation simply involves plugging an English word in for a Greek or Hebrew word, but there is so much more to the process. We should thank God every day for the translators who have brough God's Word to us in English! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
