It's actually a Greek translation thing which is not the original Aramaic. It's like "J" is pronounced as "Y", and "V" is pronounced as "B" in Hebrew. Semantics happens, just as God is actually Elohim (plural) in many cases, so is Jehovah/YHVH/Yahweh a term in English, from the Greek. As long as others know who you are addressing like "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by they name," that's what really counts. We don't even talk that way these days. It's old English poetic style.

I had Jerusalem as meaning this : Yahweh is peace And as far as Melchizedec is concerned I had read that it means King of Righteousness . Melchi meaning King and Zedec as root in righteousness.

The Hebrew language is truly fascinating. I'm just beginning to learn it. I divide the name the same as you "Mechee" "Zedick". LOL There are more terms of Zedec in scripture, but this is not the place to get into that. Thanks for your input!

Speaking of languages, kind of topic to a certain extent--I read today in a commentary that part of Daniel was written in Hebrew and part in Aramaic . I wonder if there is any significance to that? I wondered why that would be ? Any thoughts on that?

I think that England could be classified as having the birthright of Ephraim also.

They say that if someone has a last name of Cohen, they were of the levitical priesthood. They say Cohen is Priest.

All it takes is one word to state that part of it is in Aramaic.

Part of the NT is in Aramaic today.

I was thinking this morning about the miracle in Cana where Jesus changed the water into wine. There were 6 disciples at the time, and 6 earthen (big) containers of water at the marriage celebration. I was thinking about the 7th day after the Exodus when God showed Moses a tree to make the water fit to drink, and at the same time thinking about the Samaritan woman at the well when Jesus said "give Me to drink." The Moses incident correlates with the completion of the feast of unleavened bread.

I was thinking about the new wine of the new covenant, and it was better than the original wine that had been given at the beginning of the marriage feast. Thought this would be interesting to talk about seeing that the New Testament wasn't in effect until Jesus' death. It appears to be another foreshadowing of sorts. Thoughts?

"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." Romans 8:29

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."" Romans 12:2

Conformed to comply with rules, standards, or laws.
Transformed is to make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance, or character of. To undergo a transformation.
Renew means to re-establish (a relationship).

The necessity of faith as the first step in the process of salvation. Salvation is a process with many points of justification along each individual's faith journey to the gates of heaven and eternal union with the Most Holy Trinity.

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:" 1 Peter 2:2

Growing up is a process.

"Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, and instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and eternal punishment. Hebrews 6:1-2

Maturing is a process. Semantics I suppose.

A process is a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end.

"Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." Hebrew 4:1

. . . he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son = conformed - Rom. 8:29 - summorphos -[adj] (4832) akin to summorphizo (v), signifies "having the same form as another, conformed to"; (a) of the "conformity" of children of God "to the image of His Son," (b) of their future physical "conformity" to His body of glory (Phil. 3:21) . . .

be NOT conformed to this world - syschematizo (4964) to conform one's self (i.e., one's mind and character) to another's pattern, (fashion one's self according to) . . . We are not to have the character of the world and that is our natural tendency so we have to renew our minds - (anakainosis - a renewal, renovation, complete change for the better) so that the character of that new creation within us is displayed in our life.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. . . .Don't know about any of you guys but man, that takes a lot of renewing for me!!!

This post of yours is so refreshing!!! Growing in His grace!!! How true! Becoming complacent, because we think it's all done, is not trusting Christ to purify us day after day. Being "born again" is the beginning, not the ending. AMEN TO YOU SIS!!:D

Matthew 26:6-12
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
[SUP]7 [/SUP]There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To "what purpose" is this waste?
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
