We will show all the name meanings strung together in one paragraph (in the order they appear in the Holy Scripture), and we will show you a secret message from God. Then, we will show you the name meanings based on Bible dictionary and concordance definitions.

SECRET MESSAGE

{God will restore} us a {hundredfold} because {God has favored} us  and been {mindful} of us. 

[Note: Whatever we have lost for the sake of God's will shall be restored many times over (even a hundredfold). See Matthew 19:29-30.]

He {... appoints} trials {to prick} us to {bring up} the {flame of Jehovah}. 

[Note: God's light will shine brighter in those who love Him and serve Him. Trials bring us close to God so we will lack nothing. See James 1:2-4.]

Trials will {... prick} our hearts {to make good} God's people and will {... abundantly bless} and {deliver} God's people {to ... [make them] be turned to righteousness} so that they will {humble [themselves]}. 

[Note: Without trials, we would turn our hearts away from God through our pride. Trials bring us into a state of dependence on God. If we seek God through them, we will get to know God better, and even as our best Friend. See Romans 5:1-5, James 1:12, 1 Peter 1:6-9, and 1 John 1:3-10.]

Seven Points About Abba Father God That We Believers Need to Hold Onto

(A waterfall and a stream. Pixabay. Free images.)

Seven Points About Abba Father God That We Believers Need to Hold Onto

1. Abba Father God loves us with everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and He is the One who sent Jesus to the earth to pay for our sins (John 6:38-40).

2. God the Father suffered to see the torment Jesus went through for the sins of the human race and to see the suffering of mankind. (John 10:30).

3. Jesus is the Judge of the human race. (John 5:22-23).

4. We need to realize that God the Father is for us (He desires what is best for us), and deeply loves us, and cares for us very deeply, since we are His dear children. (John 16:17, Psalm 103:13).

5. We also need to remember that Jesus Christ, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit (together, the Trinity of God) dwell within the spiritual heart of everyone who has made Jesus Christ his (or her) Savior and Lord. (John 14:23).

6. If we love Jesus, we will obey Him. See John 14:23 and Romans 13:8-10.

7. If we don't love Jesus, we won't obey Him. See John 14:24.

________________________________________

There are some things we believers need to hold onto (and I know this very much). 

(1.) One is that Abba Father God loves us with everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and He is the One who sent Jesus to the earth to pay for our sins (John 6:38-40). He is One God, as we Christians all know, (1 John 5:7 [KJV]) and He also suffered when Jesus died on the cross.

Jeremiah 31:3

"[3] The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."

In John 6:38-40 Jesus said: 

"[38.] For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

1 John 5:7 [KJV] says: "[7] For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." 

Jesus, in John 10:30, said: "I and my Father are one."

THE SECRET MESSAGE IN NUMBERS 33. THE NAME MEANINGS FORM A CODE.

THE SECRET MESSAGE IN NUMBERS 33. THE NAME MEANINGS FORM A CODE.

The book of Numbers, chapter 33, has an ancient secret message. It is formed by placing the ancient name meanings together and by guidance from God. I did not come up with this. It was by God's leading I was able to see this message from the name meanings. But, if you are interested, I encourage you to seek God about this article to see what He would show you.

We will show you the name meanings based on Bible dictionary and concordance definitions. Then, we will show all the name meanings strung together in one paragraph (in the order they appear in the Holy Scripture), and we will show you a secret message from God.

Numbers 33:1-5

"[1] These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. 2. And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys according to their goings out. 3. And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians. 4. For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.

5. And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth." [End quote]

The place names continue from verse 5 down to verse 49, in Numbers chapter 33. These ancient names have meanings which are important since they are found in the Holy Scripture of God. You will see that there is a message God wants to bring forth through these name meanings. Let's look at the names in Numbers chapter 33, verses 5 through 16. We will start with Israel in verse 5. At the end of this list of name meanings, you will see the secret message.

Mary Byrne's 1905 English Translation of "Be Thou My Vision" Can Be Our Prayer to God or Our Statement of Faith

Mary Byrne's 1905 English Translation of "Be Thou My Vision" 

Can Be Our Prayer to God or Our Statement of Faith

Mary Byrne's English translation (from 1905) of "Be Thou My Vision" is very powerful when you pray it to God. It was an old Irish song of worship from hundreds of years ago. We don't know who exactly wrote it. But, some think it could have been influenced by Patrick of Ireland, who God used to bring Christianity to that island nation. 

Worshiping God with music is very powerful and moving. I was thinking that we could read the text of "Be Thou My Vision" but substitute "You are" in place of Be thou" to make it a statement of praise. Or, we can leave it as "Be thou" and use it as a prayer to God. Personally, I like both options. 

Another way of looking at this is to use this old Irish hymn as both praise and prayer. We want God to be our vision, our focus, our delight. But, we can thank Him that He is our shelter and our Father, for instance. 

(Also, we could change "King of the seven heavens" to "High King of Heaven".)

We have Mary Byrne's translation below.
__________________________________


Be thou my vision O Lord of my heart
None other is aught but the King of the seven heavens.

Be thou my meditation by day and night.
May it be thou that I behold even in my sleep.

Be thou my speech, be thou my understanding.
Be thou with me, be I with thee

The Meaning of Bethesda in John Chapter 5

(Click to Print This Document in a PDF Format)

John 5:2
"Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches."

According to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Bethesda is made from two Hebrew words: bayith (#1004 in Strong's Hebrew section) and checed (#2617 in Strong's Hebrew section). 

Bayith means house.

Checed (kheh'-sed) is lovingkindness and many other things.

According to NAS Exhaustive Concordance, the Hebrew word checed (Strong’s #2617) includes lovingkindness, lovingkindnesses, unchanging love, devotion, favor, kindnesses, deeds of devotion, mercies, loyalty, and goodness in its definition. (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance includes pity as well.)

So, Bethesda Is a Word Meaning House of Lovingkindness.

"[22] Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 

[23] That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles."

➽ (1.) "That Christ should suffer..." [for the sins of the world]. Isaiah chapter 53.
➽ (2.) The Messiah (Jesus) would rise from the dead. Psalm 16:10. 
➽ (3.) Jesus Christ would show light to Jews and Gentiles. Isaiah 42:1-7.

Below are three prophecies from the Old Testament books of the Bible that Jesus Christ fulfilled. These are hinted at by Paul in Acts 26:23.

Isaiah 26:3 and God's Peace or Shalom -- The Meaning of Shalom

Isaiah 26:3-4 

"[3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
[4] Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:"

The Hebrew word for peace in Isaiah 26:3 is shalom (Strong's #7965).
According to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, shalom means: 

"well, favor, ... good health, perfect,

Or shalom {shaw-lome'}; from shalam; safe, i.e. (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. Health, prosperity, peace ... rest, safe(-ty), ..., welfare, ... wholly."


According to Webster's 1828 dictionary, welfare means: "1. ... the enjoyment of health and the common blessings of life ; prosperity ; happiness ; ..." (Webster)

God wants us to experience an abundant life in the spiritual realm, most importantly. Then, God desires us to also have emotional peace and blessings in close fellowship (koinónia) with Him, primarily, and then with people (i.e. believers). Finally, God desires us to have physical blessings, which would be used unselfishly for His glory and His Kingdom. 

God is not going to lavish on His children physical riches when they need spiritual riches. From the scriptures, we see that physical riches come when the person is ready, and when they are used unselfishly for God's glory.

➽ The word for love in Deuteronomy 7:7 is chashaq (Strong's #2836) in Hebrew. Brown-Driver-Briggs defines chashaq as: "... verb be attached to, love (... press together, desire ...)"

➽ NAS Exhaustive Concordance defines chashaq as: "...have a desire (1), ... , longs (1), loved (1), pleased* (2), set his affection (1), set his love (1)."
