Bible Note: Hi Tim, I was not expecting arguement; I recognize you know more about Greek than I do, and I value your input. I am content to leave this for now until I am able to learn more, which I will happily share! And whether this word means departure (the Geneva Bible translates it that way), or rebellion (every other translation I've seen says that), both fit my understanding of the end times, and it would not suprise me if God meant both! Thank you for your alway kind and encouraging words. Love in Christ, Mark |
