Please tell us what is the meaning to the name Chepas?
Israelite children are named by names with 'meanings', names with meanings, prior to their birth or at their birth. It has been 'practiced' from generation to generations and GOD will.
Thank you and GOD bless you in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
As how others and i have been 'taught' from the beginning, in Hebrew the name
'Chepas' means '
rock'.
Peter is a name translated from the original Hebrew text given name as
Chepas.
Surprisingly Apostle Paul took the 'risk' going back to Jerusalem in order to consult the council Apostle Peter, regarding the matter of 'circumcision' burdening the Gentiles. And Apostle Peter firmly finalized this matter and not any others who tried at first, and 'as it is written' and by the 'authority' already given to him by the MESSIAH to 'run' for HIM that, according to verse 19,
"'....................................................... what you bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth, shall be loosed in Heaven."
And so, in 'context', verse 18 and 19, isn't it referring to the Apostle Peter/Chepas, as the 'pebble' who is going to be the 'rock' where after CHRIST, CHRIST's church and matters where 'built' upon from.
Only Chepas/Peter recieved that 'key'.
And one more thing, when Mary Madelene met JESUS after 'resurrection', JESUS gave her 'a message' to tell HIS disciples. HE said;
"Go and tell My disciples and especially Peter/Chepas, ........................................................"
We believe Apostle Chepas/Peter, meaning the 'rock', was chosen and made as the 'authority' figure for CHRIST after HIM and for HIS church, where HIS church will be 'built' upon.
Thank you and may the Good GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, bless you all with HIS kindness and peace.
