<CL>The punishment of the Father of all fathers is not merely correction: it is correction that improves, changes, transforms for the better.FineLinen said:
Our God punishes with an objective in view, not as an end in itself!
There are dual aspects to our Father’s Realm as shown in the following…
*Tamiym/ 'ymt means to be consumed, destroyed, exhausted and spent, but also to be finished and made sound.
*Kalal has the same meaning, linking destruction, being spent, exhausted, as well as to be finished and made sound.
*Tamam, the root word of Tamiym means to be finished, complete, summed up, made whole: linked with to be consumed, exhausted, spent and destroyed.
*Shalam/ ~IX, another expression of destruction, has the scope of being finished and ended, made good or whole, & being made sound, coupled with to be restored.
*Shebar, rooted in Shabar, means breakout, and being brought to birth; and underlying new birth and breakout? To be crushed and broken. Again there is dual meaning in our Lord’s words of destruction and re-creation.
*Chalowph
The destructive Hebrew word Chalowph is rooted in being altered, renewed, changed, and to sprout again. It should also be noted that this is not just change, but change for the better.<CL>
According to BDB one of, if not, the most highly accredited Hebrew lexicons available none of the words means destroy and restore. To assume that because a word is similar in appearance to or is derived from another word is a lexical fallacy that it means the same thing as the other word is a lexical fallacy..
• Root fallacy: assigning the (supposed) original meaning of a word to its usages throughout history;
