Bible Question: I am preparing a sermon for a Christmas service. Out of curiosity and because names bore a strength, meaning, and value in her culture, I wanted to know what Mary's name means. I found a meaning, to it: "their rebellion." Could someone please tell me what, and to who's rebellion the aforementioned is referring to? |
