Continuing with, Our Eternal link to GOD in Christ as exposed by Him, the I AM. Part 5c

     We are continuing with our deep dive and look into the image and likeness of our origin and its reference as "the kingdom of GOD / heaven within humanity," which is what Jesus covered most extensively during His earthly ministry by using parables and spiritual language. Today we'll look at the word "vision" and "rib" as these were explained to me during the cool of the day vision which included my inner ear hearing. Seeing that these two words have their origin in the OT, we'll draw from the LXX where there maybe (as I have already checked it out,) a conflict of thought and the OT Strong's word meanings.

The first is the first, rib of Genesis 2:21-22 of 21-24 in which we find this: Gen 2:21-24 "And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her to the man. And Adam said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they shall be one flesh." 

Now for the KJV+ verses 21 and 22: "And the LORDH3068 GodH430 caused a deep sleepH8639 to fallH5307 uponH5921 Adam,H121 and he slept:H3462 and He tookH3947 oneH259 of his ribs,H4480 H6763 and closed upH5462 the fleshH1320 insteadH8478 thereof; And(H853) the rib,H6763 whichH834 the LORDH3068 GodH430 had takenH3947 fromH4480 man,H120 madeH1129 He a woman,H802 and broughtH935 her untoH413 the man.H120"

The first word that stricks our interest is H3947 translated took: lâqach, law-kakh', A primitive root; to take (in the widest variety of applications): - accept, bring, buy, carry away, drawn, fetch, get, infold, X many, mingle, place, receive (-ing), reserve, seize, send for, take (away, -ing, up), use, win.

Then comes H259 translated as one: 'echâd, ekh-awd', A numeral from H258 {'âchad, aw-khad', Perhaps a primitive root; to unify, that is, (figuratively) collect (one’s thoughts): - go one way.}; properly united, that is, one; or (as an ordinal) first: - a, alike, alone, altogether, and, any (-thing), apiece, a certain [dai-] ly, each (one), + eleven, every, few, first, + highway, a man, once, one, only, other, some, together. Now this one reminds me of the words of Jesus as He spoke of He and the Father being but One, this spoken in John 17:11. A then by Paul who repeats it in 1Corinthians 8:6 thusly tying it all up in one neat package for us, which says this: "For us there is but one GOD, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things, and we by (G1223 meaning the channel, because of, throughout time) Him."

Our next word of interest is  H1320 translated as flesh: bâśâr  baw-sawr', From H1319 {bâśar  baw-sar'
A primitive root; properly to be fresh, that is, full (rosy, figuratively cheerful); to announce (glad news; NT good news humanity restored to its original design): - messenger, preach, publish, shew forth, (bear, bring, carry, preach, good, tell good) tidings [returned to innocence.}; flesh (from its freshness); by extension body, person; also (by euphemism) the pudenda of a man: - body, [fat, lean] flesh [-ed], kin, [man-] kind, + nakedness, self, skin.

Next in line is H4480 H6763 translated his rib, first H4480 translated his: min  minnı̂y  minnêy  min min-nee'  min-nay', For H4482 {mên, mane, From an unused rot meaning to apportion; a part; hence a musical chord (as parted into strings): - in [the same] (Psa. H68 : H23), stringed instrument (Psa. H150 : H4), to echo to vibrate to resinate}; properly a part of; hence (prepositionally), from or out of in many senses: - above, after, among, at, because of, by (reason of), from (among), in, X neither, X nor, (out) of, over, since, X then, through, X whether, with. And now for H6763 translated rib: tsêlâ‛ tsal‛âh
tsay-law', tsal-aw', From H6760 {tsâla‛ tsaw-lah', A primitive root; probably to curve; used only as denominative from H6763, to limp (as if one sided): - halt.}; a rib (as curved), literally (of the body) or figuratively (of a door, that is, leaf); hence a side, literally (of a person) or figuratively (of an object or the sky, that is, quarter); arcitecturally a timber (especially floor or ceiling) or plank (single or collectively, that is, a flooring): - beem, board, chamber, corner, leaf, plank, rib, side (chamber).

Our next word is H5462 translates as to close up: sâgar saw-gar', A primitive root; to shut up; figuratively to surrender: - close up, deliver (up), give over (up), inclose, X pure, repair (Is. 53:5 and Hosea 6:1-2, to heal), shut (in, self, out, up, up together), stop, X straitly.

Our next word is H8478 translated as instead: tachath  takh'-ath  From the same as H8430 {tôach  to'-akh  From an unused root meaning to depress; humble; Toach, an Israelite: - Toah.}; the bottom (as depressed, the lower reigns of hell, Rom 10:7); only adverbially below (often with prepositional prefix underneath), in lieu of, etc.: - as, beneath, X flat, in (-stead), (same) place (where . . . is), room, for . . . sake, stead of, under, X unto, X when . . . was mine, whereas, [where-] fore, with.

Our next word and possibly our last is H1129 translates as made: bânâh  baw-naw'  A primitive root; to build (literally and figuratively): - (begin to) build (-er), obtain children, make, repair, set (up), X surely.

Now by this we can begin to see clearly as our nest word of inspiration means by vision. The first reference to it is in Genesis chapter 15 verse 1 where we find: "AfterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 AbramH87 in a vision,H4236 saying,H559 FearH3372 not,H408 Abram:H87 IH595 am thy shield,H4043 and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 reward.H7939"

H4236: machăzeh  makh-az-eh', From H2372 {châzâh  khaw-zaw,  A primitive root; to gaze at; mentally to perceive, contemplate (with pleasure); specifically to have a vision of: - behold, look, prophesy, provide, see. (This is what was changed in Gen. 3)}; a vision: - vision.

Our next passage comes to us in Num.12:6  And He said,H559 HearH8085 nowH4994 my words:H1697 IfH518 there beH1961 a prophetH5030 among you, I the LORDH3068 will make Myself knownH3045 toH413 him in a vision,H4759 and will speakH1696 to him in a dream.H2472

So here we find two words the first is H4759 the other is H2472. First for H4759: mar'âh  mar-aw'
Feminine of H4758 {mar'eh  mar-eh', From H7200 [râ'âh  raw-aw',  A primitive root; to see, literally or figuratively (in numerous applications, direct and implied, transitively, intransitively and causatively): - advise self, appear, approve, behold, X certainly, consider, discern, (make to) enjoy, have experience, gaze, take heed, X indeed, X joyfully, lo, look (on, one another, one on another, one upon another, out, up, upon), mark, meet, X be near, perceive, present, provide, regard, (have) respect, (fore-, cause to, let) see (-r, -m, one another), shew (self), X sight of others, (e-) spy, stare, X surely, X think, view, visions.]; a view (the act of seeing); also an appearance (the thing seen), whether (real) a shape (especially if handsome, comeliness; often plural the looks), or (mental) a vision: -  X apparently, appearance (-reth), X as soon as beautiful (-ly), countenance, fair, favoured, form, goodly, to look (up) on (to), look [-eth], pattern, to see, seem, sight, visage, vision.}; a vision; also (causatively) a mirror: - looking glass, vision.

Now the second H2472 translated dream: chălôm   chălôm   khal-ome', khal-ome', From H2492 {châlam  khaw-lam',  A primitive root; properly to bind firmly, that is, (by implication) to be (causatively to make) plump; also (through the figurative sense of dumbness) to dream: - (cause to) dream (-er), be in good liking, recover. NT renew G340, renewingG342}; a dream: - dream (-er).

I have said all of this to end with Romans 12:1-2 in which we find this first in the KJV and then the KJV+:  "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that we present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to GOD, which is our reasonable service. Be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of GOD."

KJV+: "I beseechG3870 youG5209 therefore,G3767 brethren,G80 byG1223 theG3588 merciesG3628 of GOD,G2316 that we presentG3936 ourG5216 bodiesG4983 a livingG2198 sacrifice,G2378 holy,G40 acceptableG2101 to GOD,G2316 which is ourG5216 reasonableG3050 service.G2999 AndG2532 be notG3361 conformedG4964 to thisG5129 world:G165 butG235 be transformedG3339 by theG3588 renewingG342 of ourG5216 mind,G3563 that weG5209 may proveG1381 whatG5101 is that good,G18 andG2532 acceptable,G2101 andG2532 perfect,G5046 willG2307 of GOD.G2316" Now this in its original context of translators reflects a singular connotation not a plural as I have it here. After all the effects of the Cross were for the whole world of humanity not just for Israel or a particular sect of people. Jesus made salvation after redemption available to all, not just a few as has been the doctrine of religion. as even the OT language confirms.
