Bible Question:
Taleb, about a year ago you said you did a name definition study of Luke. You said "the names translate into a story". What story do they tell? Thank you for reponding to this old topic. TommyS |
Bible Answer: TommyS, here is the “story” of Jesus’ family tree in Luke 3. Just so you are aware, Hitchcock’s defines some of the names in the list different than some of my other sources. It defines Adam as "red earth". However, the Hebrew word Adam is the same word most often translated “man”. Also, the various sources I used, use different definitions one from another. For example, Enoch – some say dedicated, some say preaching, some teaching - either one of which would keep the “flow”. Reading UP in Luke 3 from verse 38 UP to 23, the names spell out the "story" of a GOD-MAN whose purpose was to provide the eternal truth that GOD SAVES. From God, the source of Adam (man) to Christ, the source of salvation, I separated each definition with a comma. GOD, MAN, APPOINTED, MORTAL, SORROW, THE BLESS GOD, SHALL COME DOWN, TEACHING, HIS DEATH SHALL BRING, POWERFUL, REST, THE NAME, RELEASES, SORROW, AS SENT FORTH, BEYOND, AN OPENING, FRIEND, INTERWINED, SNORTER, YOU MAY BREATHE, EXHALTED FATHER, HE WILL LAUGH, WILL TAKE BY THE HEEL, HE SHALL BE PRAISED, BURST OUT, ENCLOSED, HIGH, PEOPLE OF A WILLING GIVER, ENCHANTER, IMAGE, IN HIM IS STRENGH,SERVING, MY MEN, BELOVED, A GIVER, FOLLOWING, SOOTHSAYER, DEAR FRIEND, GOD WILL ESTABLISH, GOD IS A GRACIOUS GIVER, LET HM ADD, HE SHALL BE PRAISED, HEARKENING, JOINED, GIFT OF GOD, GOD IS EXHALTED, GOD OF HELP, GOD WILL SAVE, STIRRED UP, NOT MEASURED, ORNAMENT, HE ADORNED, MY KING GOD, MY LAMP GOD, I HAVE ASKED OF GOD, MELTED BY BABYLON, HEAD, GRACE OF GOD, HE SHALL BE PRAISED, LET HIM ADD, HEARKENED OF GOD, GIFT OF GOD, FROM THIS TIME, ILLUMINATING, RESERVED OF GOD, COMFORTED, BURDEN, GIFT OF GOD, LET HIM ADD, FLOURISHING, MY COUNSEL, JOINED, GIFT OF GOD, ASCENDING, LET HIM ADD, GOD SAVES!!!
