Maybe what I am about to disclose should not be here in our study of chapter 16 of John's synoptic gospel, but here goes. GOD the Father and His Son of His expression of His Great Love for His image and likeness in His divine creation is Judge some Holy and sure as He judges even the universe of His Creation. Now with that said we shall move on to verse 12 where we left off in our last post. I just got it,Wow! Thank You LORD! The reason for my outburst, Jesus is speaking of the way of life for all who would be restored to their true first original identity by His actions, this He has been doing for sometime now.
John 16:12-15 (Jesus is speaking) "'I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.'" (KJV)
John 16:12-15 "'I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.'" (ESV)
John 16:12-15 (Jesus is speaking) "'I have so much more to tell you but you would not be able [take it all in you would go into overload] to handle it now. But when she is [5]come, the Spirit of truth, she will [1]take you by the hand and guide you into the path of all truth. She will not draw attention to herself but will communicate and [1]unveil everything she hears and discerns [2]from a heavenly perspective about the things that is [are] [3]about to happen [3]within you. (While spirit is in the neuter generative voice, truth is feminine. In Hebrew, the word for spirit is "ruach" which is feminine. The word [1] (I can't display the Hebrew or Greek symbols used here for this word), is from odos, the pathway and hegeomai, the strengthened for of agoo, to lead, thus officially appointed Guide. The word [2] anangellei, is from ana, upwards, above and angello, is often translated Shepherd-Messenger or Messiah; it has two components, ago to lead as a Shepherd leads and agele a herd of cattle or a company. The word [3] umin, is the personal pronoun, you in the Dative case, also pointing to location "in." The things about to happen, [4] erchomena , the Present Participle describes an action thought of as simultaneous with the action of the main verb, [5] elthay, is come. "When she, the Spirit of Truth, is come [hotan elthei ekeinos, to pneuma tes aletheias]. Indefinite relative clause [ hotan and the second Aorist active subjunction of erchomai, whenever she comes." The Mood of the Greek verb, in this case the subjunctive, expresses the mode in which the idea of the verb is employed.) The Holy Spirit will endorse my [1] opinion of you by taking that which is mine and [2] interpreting it [3] in you. (The word often translated glory, [1] doxa is from dokeo, to form an opinion. The word [2] anangello, is from ana, always points upwards to the things that are above the earth's perspective. [3] Umin, personal pronoun, you in the Dative case, also pointing to location "in." ) The Father and I enjoy all things in common - even to the finest detail - because this is so, I said that the Close Companion esteems my glory and [2] lays a hold of that which in within me and declares it within you from [1] heavens point of view. ([1] Ana, upwards; The best texts read [2] lambanei, takes, instead of, lempsetai, shall take. The relation between the Son and the Spirit is present and constant.)
I am deliberately keeping this short because of the ground that is covered within the chapter. The LORD willing we will begin next time at verse 16 with its speaking of Joy.
