The GT Commentary on Luke

[LittleLambofJesus]

What I find interesting in this verse is that the word "hills" is used on 2 times in the NT and both in Luke.

3:5 every ravine shall be being filled and every mountain and hill shall be being leveled and shall be the crookeds into straight and the roughs into ways smoooth. [Isaiah 40:4]

Textus Rec.) Luke 3:5 pasa faragx plhrwqhsetai kai pan oroV kai bounoV tapeinwqhsetai kai estai ta skolia eiV euqeian kai ai traceiai eiV odouV leiaV

Luke 23:30 "Then they shall be beginning to be saying to the mountains 'be falling upon us' and to the hills 'cover us'". [Hosea 10:8/Reve 6:16]

1015. bounos boo-nos' probably of foreign origin; a hillock:--hill [Used only 2 times in NT: Luke 3:5 and Luke 23:30]

 

[PujolsNonRoidHomerHitter]

Luke 3:6 -- "And all mankind will see God's salvation."

Hmm. So God's a preterist. Interesting.

Go Cards!

 

[Kristos]

Isa 45:2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:

I like crooked - an odd word

G4646
σκολιός
skolios
skol-ee-os'
From the base of G4628; warped, that is, winding; figuratively perverse: - crooked, froward, untoward.

seems like it comes from crooked legs - that don't walk straight - they don't walk the walk - action baby - these boots were made for walkin...walkin straight

Rev 21:24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

G4043
περιπατέω
peripateō
per-ee-pat-eh'-o
From G4012 and G3961; to tread all around, that is, walk at large (especially as proof of ability); figuratively to live, deport oneself, follow (as a companion or votary): - go, be occupied with, walk (about).

That's what I'm talkin about...

That was for you, LLOJ

I wish I could have my entire library on ebook. That would be cool!

Better yet, I wish someone would parse the ECFs into an eSword commentary that is tied by relevant verse. That would be super cool.

The word for "iron" is only mentioned 6 times in the NT and all but 1 time in the book of Revelation.......

Reve 18:12 cargo/replete of gold and of silver and of stone, precious and of pearl/*s and of cambric and of purple and of silk and of scarlet and every wood citron and every instrument of ivory and every instrument out of wood most-precious and of copper/brass and of Iron/sidhrou <4604> and of marble, [Daniel 2:5]

Luke 3:6 -- "And all mankind will see God's salvation."

Hmm. So God's a preterist. Interesting.

Go Cards!

I am leaning more toward "full-preterist" myself but not quite yet

Not sure what translation you used but the greek word is for "flesh" and intersting the same form of the word "to see" is used in Reve 1:7

Luke 3:6 And shall-be-seeing/oyetai <3700> (5695) All flesh the Salvation of the God. [Gene 6:13/Reve 11:18, 19:17]

Textus Rec.) Luke 3:6 kai oyetai pasa sarx to swthrion tou qeou

Reve 1:7 Behold! He is coming with the clouds and shall be seeing/oyetai <3700> (5695) Him every eye even who-any Him they pierce and shall be wailing over Him all the Tribes of the land yea amen.

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

This form of the greek word for "about to be" used 6 times including 2 times in the book of Revelation [3:10, 12:4].

3:7 He said then to the ones going out throngs to be baptized by him "gener/fruit of vipers who intimates to ye to be fleeing from the being about/melloushV <3195> (5723) wrath."

Luke 3:7 elegen oun toiV ekporeuomenoiV ocloiV baptisqhnai up autou gennhmata ecidnwn tiV upedeixen umin fugein apo thV melloushV orghV

Reve 3:10 That thou keep the Word of the endurance of Me, I also thee shall be keeping out of the hour of the trial of the being about/melloushV <3195> (5723), to be coming upon the being-homed whole, to try the ones dwelling upon the land.

3195. mello mel'-lo
a strengthened form of 3199 (through the idea of expectation); to intend, i.e. be about to be, do, or suffer something (of persons or things, especially events; in the sense of purpose, duty, necessity, probability, possibility, or hesitation):--about, after that, be (almost), (that which is, things, + which was for) to come, intend, was to (be), mean, mind, be at the point, (be) ready, + return, shall (begin), (which, that) should (after, afterwards, hereafter) tarry, which was for, will, would, be yet.

 

[PujolsNonRoidHomerHitter]

Luke 3:8 -- "Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham."

I wonder what stones he was referring to? Perhaps just the immediate rocks around him. More likely a reference to the Gentiles or hard hearted people in general.

[Tu Es Petrus]

.

Luke 3:14: "Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?" He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely&#8212;be content with your pay."

This is pretty similar to 3:10 thru 3:13. Each group seems to be made aware of their particular sin or wrongdoing, and, in a sense, told to repent of it and do it no more.

Later in the Bible, Jesus echoes this sentiment when he tells the girl accused of adultery to "go and sin no more."
