Recently, I have had the pleasure and blessing of attempting to understand the Hebrew language. I am reading the Bible in parallels from the Old and New Testament looking for those golden nuggets that reveal Jesus and the Hebrew translation really helps to solidify this study. I am glad that GOD has given me the opportunity to do this. For a long time, my thinking was "I am saved and that's all I need to know". That is right on some levels, but the quality of intimacy in knowing and seeing GOD in the Bible is so much more heightened when you see the connections of a plan HE designed to reveal HIS love for us. Right now, I settle for the Hebrew translation for the Old Testament and maybe just a little Greek in the New. It is just amazing that the evidence of What GOD did, Who GOD is and HOW HE is responsible for everything we know about is entirely in the Word of GOD. It is not in an unknown language. It is not a map consisting of mazes in order to find the answers for the previous statements. I even look at the pattern and significance of numbers in the Bible. I mean, wow! GOD has given, provided, repeated and confirmed over and over again what was going to be done, when it was going to happen and how the rest of everything will pan out.
And its' all true. It has either come to pass, is happening now or it will come to pass soon. It just lifts me up when I am able to touch HIM through and in HIS Word. I spend a lot of time realizing what is in store for the people of GOD and how it will be so very worth it in the end of this lifetime. I would like to share some of the things that I have noticed, as I am sure others have gleaned similar thoughts as well from reading the Word of GOD. But I will wait till another post to submit those thoughts. GOD Bless You till the next time. I will have to see if I can post Hebrew on here too!
