We are looking into the New Testaments (G1242 diathēkē, a contract, covenant, from 1303 diatithemai, from G1223 and G5087; yoke G2218 zugos, to join with and G2201 zeugos, to couple with) expansion of Genesis 1:1-5 and 1:26-27 with Leviticus 17:11 in the language of spiritual identity as found in John 1:1-5, by doing a Word study which hopefully will resolve any dispute of understanding. For since the Cross and the Resurrection the landscape was for eternity changed by GOD'S Will, not mans. The old having been set totally aside by GOD, not man nor man's religions, of which there are many. Okay, here goes, using the KJV and the Strong's and LXX Numbering systems, with some selectivity on my part because the lists of words is quite lengthy:
Genesis 1:1-5 "In the beginning GOD (H430 'ĕlôhı̂ym, the supreme GOD, plural of H433 'ĕlôahh, the deity, from 410 'êl, the all mighty, the shorten form of H352 'ayil, strength, from H193 'ûl, all powerful) created the heaven and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; Darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit (H7307 rûach, breathe) of GOD moved upon the face of the waters. GOD said, 'Let there be light: and there was light.' And GOD saw the light, that it was good: and GOD divided the light from the darkness. And GOD called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:26-27 "GOD said, 'Let Us make (H6213 ‛âśâh, fashion) man in Our image (H6754 tselem, a phantom), after Our likeness (H1823 demûth, resemblance, fashion, from H1819 dâmâh, to resemble): and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.' So GOD created man in His Own image, in the image of GOD created He him; Male and female created He them."
Leviticus 17:11, 14a "For the life (H5313 nephesh ghost, from H5314 nâphash, breathe, refresh) of the flesh (H1320 bâśâr, from H1319 bâśar, to be fresh) is in the blood (H1818 dâm, guiltless, innocent, from H1826 dâmam, to be silent): and I have given it to you upon the altar (H4196 mizbêach, altar, from H2076 zâbach, to slaughter, sacrifice) to make an atonement (H3722 zâbach, to expiate, cancel out, cleans; Romans 5:12 G2643 katallagē, to exchange, restoration, from G2644 katallassō, to change mutually, from G 2596 and G236 ) for your souls: for it is the blood that make an atonement for the soul.....For it is the life of all flesh; The blood of it is for the life thereof:"
Then we have John's witness of a personal kind in John 1:1-5 "In the beginning was the Word (G3056 logos, the implied topic, from G3004 lego, systematic discourse, while Matthew 4:4 says this, Jesus is speaking; "But He answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (G4478 rhema, utterance, from G4483 rhea, to utter) that proceeds out of the mouth [G4750 stoma, by implication language as in face to face] of GOD.'"), and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. The same was in the beginning (Gen. 1:1' H430, H433, H410, H352, H193) within GOD. All things were made by Him; And without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him is Life (G2222 zōē, life, from G2198 zaō, a verb, to live); And this Life is the light (G5475 phōs, luminousness, fire) of all men. And the light shines in darkness; And the darkness comprehended it not."
Okay, before I get ahead of myself I shall poise to look at a few of the words that I have shown the Strong's numbering system plus the OT LXX for. No, I'll put their means within the brackets ( ) and show the Hebrew or the Greek words for each with their main meanings.
Now for our thought's of 10c.1 and the New Blood Covenant or New Testament. How does this all tie together? This calls for a return to Genesis 1:1 and the meanings of those numbers shown, they being H430, H433, and H410, this time using the LLX. Now we cannot use the LXX in the New Testament record as it uses the Greek numbering system of Strong's and the Thayer's only.
Strong's #430: AHLB#: 1012-H (c)
1012) La% (La% AL) ac: Yoke co: Ox ab: Strength: The pictograph a is a picture of an ox head and also represents its strength. The l is a picture of a shepherd staff and also represents the authority of the shepherd. Combined these two pictographs mean "the strong authority" and can be anyone or thing of strong authority. The yoke is understood as a "staff on the shoulders" (see Isaiah 9:4, Matthew 11:28-30) in order to harness their power for pulling loads such as a wagon or plow. Hence, the two pictographs can also represent "the ox in the yoke." Often two oxen were yoked together. An older, more experienced ox would be teamed up (yoked) with a younger, less experienced ox. The older ox in the yoke is the "strong authority" who, through the yoke, teaches the younger ox. (eng: all; elk; elephant)
Nm) La% (La% AL) - Power: One who holds authority over others such as judges, chiefs and gods. In the sense of being yoked to one another. [freq. 245] |kjv: GOD, God, god, power, mighty, goodly, great, idols, strong, unto, with, against, at, into, in, before, to, of, upon, by, toward, hath, for, on, beside, from, where, after, within| {str: 410}
H) Ela% (Ela% ALH) ac: Swear co: Yoke ab: ?: The yoking together of two parties. A treaty or covenant binds two parties together through an oath (yoke). The oath included blessings for abiding by the covenant and curses for breaking the covenant (see Deuteronomy 28). The God of the Hebrews was seen as the older ox that is yoked to His people in a covenant relationship.
cm) Efla% (Efla% A-LWH) - Power: The power or might of one who rules or teaches. One who yokes with another. Often applied to rulers or a god. [Hebrew and Aramaic] [df: hla] [freq. 2663] |kjv: GOD, God, god, heathen deity| {str: 430, 433}
M) Lia% (Lia% AYL) ac: ? co: Ox ab: Strength: Anyone or anything that functions as the "strong authority" is seen as the older ox. Such as a ram, lion, or stag deer (the strong leader of the flock or heard), chief (strong leader of the tribe), pillar (as the strong support of a building), oak tree (one of the strongest of the woods).
Nm) Lia% (Lia% AYL) - Strong One: Anyone or thing that functions with strength like an ox. This can be a ram, lion or stag (as strong leaders), chief, pillar (as the strong support of a building), or oak tree (one of the strongest of the woods) [freq. 197] |kjv: ram, post, mighty, tree, lintel, oak, strength, hart| {str: 352, 353, 354}
Okay, now for what Jesus declared of Himself and the New Covenant in which we all partake of in the Redeeming of the Nations. But first Matthew 11:25-30 once again, where we find this:
Matthew 11:25-30 "At that time Jesus answered and said, 'I thank You, O Father, LORD of heaven and earth, because You have hid these (Deuteronomy 29:29; Mark 4:11, Romans 16:25, 1Corinthians 2:7, Ephesians 1:9, 3:3-4, 9) things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things are delivered to Me of My Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; Neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him. Therefore Come to Me, all who are in labor and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest (Gen. 2:1-3). Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; For I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.''' This passage is riddled with the H430, H433, H410 and the H352 [and the deca of section of 10] which I saw today for the first time, of our study above.
Lets take a look at the branch of the oak tree, most of which is found in John 15, while the OT has many such references, I'll allow you to do the study there for yourself. In Matthew chapter 20 as does Mark 10, makes many references to the cup of our participation in the death of Jesus. Then there's the bread in Luke 22 and John 6. Then we have the wine in Matthew 9:17, Mark 2:22, Luke 5 these are all elements of the Covenant meal. But of all of them I guess that Jesus' own words of John 14 and 15 and 1John 5, does it for me. I would be totally amiss had I totally forgotten the most important part of this study, which are the New Testament scriptures of the blood, like that of Matthew 26:28 which reads: Mat. 26:26-29 "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body.' Afterwards He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, 'Drink all of it; For this is My blood of the New Testament (Covenant), which is shed for many for the remission of sins. For I say to you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom.'" Then this in Mark 14:24 which reads as follows: Mark 14:22-25 "As they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them, and said, 'Take, eat: this is My body.' Afterwards He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And He said to them, 'This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. Verily I say to you, I will drink it no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.'" Then Luke's record this in 22:20, it reads: Luke 22:14-20 "And when the hour was come, Jesus sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him. And He said to them, 'With desire I have desired to eat this pass over with you before I suffer: For I say to you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of GOD.'" He took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, 'Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of GOD shall come.'" And He took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave to them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of Me.'" Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is the New Testament in My blood, which is shed for you.'" Next we have the strongest of all witnesses in John's view in chapter 6 where we find this: John 6:19-40, 41-59 "So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh to the ship: and they were afraid. But He said to them, 'It is I; Be not afraid.' Then they willingly received Him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one where into His disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples were gone away alone; (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh to the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:) When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither His disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. And when they had found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when came You hither?" Jesus answered them and said, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, You seek Me, not because you saw the miracles, but because you did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for Him has GOD the Father sealed.' Then said they to Him, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, 'This is the work of GOD, that you believe Him Whom He has sent.' They said therefore to Him, "What sign showiest You then, that we may see, and believe thee? What do You work? Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." Then Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; But My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of GOD is He which came down from heaven, and gives His Life to the world.' Then said they to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of Life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; And he that believes Me shall never thirst. For I said to you, that you also have seen Me, and believe not. All that the Father has given Me shall come to Me; And him that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the Will of Him that sent Me. And this is the Father's Will Who has sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing, but shall raise it up again at the last day. This is the Will of Him that sent Me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes Him, may have everlasting Life: and I will raise him up at the last day.'
The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, 'I am the bread which came down from heaven.' And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He said, 'I came down from heaven?'" Jesus knowing their hearts therefore answered and said to them, 'Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to Me, except the Father which has sent Me draws him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Is it not written in the prophets, "And they shall be all taught of GOD"(in Isaiah 54:13). Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to Me. Not that any man has seen the Father, save He who is of GOD, He has seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say to you, He that believes Me has everlasting Life. For I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This was the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which comes down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.' The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Then Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whosoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life; And I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is meat indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He that eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, dwells in Me, and I in him. As the living Father has sent Me, I live by the Father: so he that eats Me, even he shall live by Me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this bread shall live forever.'
These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum."
I pray that this may hit a home! And a home run for many out there! Now I could have listed all the cross referenced passages of scriptures to back all this up but for what purpose, you can do that on your own to strengthen your knowledge of Him and grow in His faith within you as I have done on my own.
