43 - Les Feldick Bible Study Lesson 2 - Part 3 - Book 4 - Names of Deity, Most High

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com LESSON 2 * PART 3 * BOOK 4 NAMES OF DEITY, MOST HIGH Genesis 14-16 Genesis 15:1,2a "AFTER these things the word of the Lord ("Jehovah," all capitalized) came unto Abram in a vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.' And Abram said, `Lord God,...'" The very term "adon" in Hebrew is "master." If it is in small letters, that means "master" is also small letters. *adon=master * Adon or Adonay=Master * Adonai=Master=God Genesis 15:2 "And Abram said, `Lord God (Master God), what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?'" Exodus 4:10 "And Moses said unto the Lord (capitalized, so he said to Whom? Jehovah), 'O my Lord (now what? Small lettered Lord),...'" The capitalized LORD is the Scripture reference that Moses is speaking to Jehovah, but Moses doesn't address Him as Jehovah, but rather as Adon/Master. What do we call those under a Master; servants! Whenever you see the word `Lord' with a capital `L' only, this refers to Adoni as Master, and the Master, is going to be over his servant. Isaiah 6:1 No doubt it is God in all His fullness, but why does Isaiah use the word "Master?" Isaiah 6:5 Let's go to verse 8: Isaiah 6:8 - The servant. When I say the Word of God is letter perfect and word perfect, I am referring to the original manuscripts before anyone ever touched them. Go to Genesis 24. Abraham is sending a servant to Syria to get Isaac a wife. Genesis 24:9 Turn with me to Genesis 18 where the same word `adon' is now used in regard to Abraham and Sarah as husband and wife, when The Lord told Sarah she was going to have a child. Genesis 18:12 Note the small letters in `lord.' We find that even Paul, writing to us Gentiles, refers to Christ as Master, and we as His servants. Ephesians 6:8,9 In John's Gospel, Christ referred to Himself saying, "You call Me Master and you do well." Colossians 4:1 "MASTERS (capitalized, because it is the first word of the sentence), give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven." I'm want to show that this theme of Abraham calling God his Master, by virtue of his being His servant, also drops down into the human element into man's relationship with The Lord; and to the husband and his relationship with his wife; so also, then, up into the spiritual with Christ as the spiritual Husband and we in the Body as the spiritual wife or the bride. (25) "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" See that analogy? Christ is the Husband and we are the bride. Genesis 15:2,3 "And Abram said, `Lord God (Master or Adoni God), what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house (or the manager of my estate) is this Eliezer of Damascus?' Lot! God forbid that Lot would have been the one. So what does God say? Genesis 15:4,5 I have used the words `innermost being' in the Scripture above as most of us don't like the word from the King James Version. How old is Abraham - 80 some years old, and Sarah isn't far behind him. Genesis 15:6 In verse 1, Paul is using the faith of Abraham as an example of what God is expecting of us today. Romans 4:1-3 For if Abraham were justified (or made right) by works, he hath whereof to glory (he could brag about it); but not before God. Abraham believed God, and it (his believing)was counted (that's a bookkeeping term) unto him for righteousness." Righteousness! Faith plus nothing … Faith plus nothing! Romans 4:4,5 We have to be so careful that Salvation is totally the work of God. Genesis 15:5 There is another instance in Genesis 13 when He first called Abraham. God has just began to deal with this man Abram, making the Abrahamic Covenant, and He now says: Genesis 13:16 "And I will make thy seed (offspring) as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered." (In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.) As we come to Israel's role, remember that Israel is always God's earthly people, whereas we of the Church Age are God's heavenly people. Israel is God's earthly people; the Church is God's heavenly people. Dust is earthly. We become a child of Abraham by virtue of the spiritual connection; that asAbraham was saved by faith plus nothing, we're saved by faith plus nothing! When we become a child of God we do not become a Jew. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
