Essential Studies.
Genesis 28:13-22, The Hebrew reveals a reciprocal relationship
Additional studies: Genesis Index
The NKJV of Gen 28:13 says that YHVH stood above the ladder, in other words, in heaven where the top of the ladder was. But the Hebrew Bible in English says that YHVH stood beside Jacob; instead of “above it.” So then how does the A pair match? YHVH stood beside Jacob (to be with him and to keep him) and Jacob stood beside YHVH (to worship Him as God). It is a picture of a reciprocal relationship of faithfulness and loyalty. Isn’t that beautiful?
Psalm 35, To rescue and return
Additional studies: Psalms Book One (1-41) Index
“To return” can be understood as God returning David back to safety or a state of well-being from a place of danger, thus rescuing him from destruction. It’s not only about moving him away from harm, although it is that, but also then restoring him to a place of security or safety. When David prays, “Rescue my soul from their destructions,” he is asking for YHVH to restore his life from the brink of ruin caused by his enemies. So the Hebrew of verse 17 is literally saying, “Rescue me from their destructions, and return me back to a secure place in You, Father. Then restore my life from whatever ruin the enemy has caused.” And He will!
Matthew 25, And three parables
Additional studies: Matthew Index
In each case, those who are separated from the Lord’s presence for eternity, were not atheists and unbelievers! The foolish virgins were waiting for the bridegroom’s return just as the wise ones were. The unprofitable servant was a servant of the master just as the profitable servants were. And the goats looked for Messiah, so they could feed or clothe Him, just as the sheep were!
