Subject: What does spot, blemish, or wrinkle mean |
Bible Note: Hi Precious Spirit, Are you thinking of Ephesians 5:27 "that He might present it to Himself as the glorious assembly, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such things, but that it be holy and without blemish"? In this verse, "spot" is from "spilow", which is to stain or defile. It is the same word translated "defile" in James 3:6: "And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell." This would be the results or consequences of wrongdoing, the pollution of sin. "Wrinkle", from "rutida", is used only here in the New Testament. It is from a root meaning "to draw together", and here refers to the wrinkling of the skin that comes with age. "Without blemish" is from "amomos", and is "without flaw". This is also translated "faultless" in Jude vs. 24: "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy," Jesus desires to present the church to Himself without any flaw, whether it be from the ravages of sin in our body or soul, or of moral or character defect within us. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |
