That is all quite interesting but rather than rely on the interpretation of someone who does not know Hebrew, let us see how the ancient Jewish scholars understood the Hebrew scriptures on this point? Do you somehow think all the Hebrew speaking Jewish scholars got it wrong and only you got it right?
What am i to do with this generation that is before my eyes? How will they escape the wrath of God ?
Tell me, does our Father desire that we become learned in order to know and understand His Words ?
i will tell you the Truth, i have studies Hebrew and Greek, and even Latin, i have cross referenced with this reference and that, i have studied countless hours upon hours, i have read many books concerning the Words of
God, and to what purpose, all of it is even as dung, i was fruitless, and the Holy Ghost revealed to me, it was a waste of my time and energy to learn all that stuff. For God made His Words so easy to understand, that even children can understand it and learn the Truth therein. What then, we are going to stand before God on Judgement Day and He will condemn us because we did not know Hebrew or Greek? Nay, He will condemn us because we did not merely believe His Words and what they said.
Leave it to humans to interpret it and confound the meaning thereof. Most of the Scriptures is in no need of interpretation, and the parts that do need interpretation are clearly indicated within its own text that it is for interpretation ie this is a parable or revelation.
Children who merely believe the Word, shall be the judges of those who are learned and think they know something.
Tell me, if i interpret a verse correctly, whose interpretation is it ? It is mine is not? who am i ? i am nothing, a nobody, a filthy rag, prone to mistakes and prone to misinterpretations, i am as dung, But if i believe the verse and what it says, whose it then ? it is not my interpretation, because i have not interpreted it, i merely believe what it says, therefore it is not mine, but Gods, and because i merely believe it, it will be counted towards me as Righteousness.
Do you want to know the Truth ? Do you really want to know the Truth that will set you free? Then i beg of you, forget everything you ever were taught, forget everything you believe. Then pick up the Bible and start in Matthew 1:1 and merely believe what it says, and when you come across a verse that you don't agree with by what it clearly says, and try to interpret it into something that you will agree with DON"T, believe what it says, no interpretation needed, and i assure you with no doubts whatsoever, if you do this, or better yet are able to do this ( pray for help ) you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free from all worries, and anxieties, and you will save your soul from Hell.
Remember, our Father gave us simple instructions to follow, because we are His children and He loves us, simplicity is the answer. You want to know the Truth, first merely believe it when you read it.
In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ
