Isaiah 52, Exiles returning to Jerusalem, and to Zion
Additional studies: Isaiah Index
First, there is a translation correction for verse 8. The Hebrew grammar says that they see YHVH – yes, the tetragrammaton – returning to Zion, not that YHVH brings Zion back as some English Bibles have it. The Hebrew idiom “eye to eye” means the watchmen see YHVH’s return with vivid, personal clarity, as if standing face-to-face.
Psalm 86, Reverse parallelism
Additional studies: Psalms, Book Three: Psalms 73-89 Index
You might say that because of A – For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive – we will have B – All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You. God’s goodness is the first cause, and worship is the result. ♥
1 Timothy 2, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: 1 & 2 Timothy Index
Paul is encouraging the Gentile women to embrace their unique gifts as women (child bearing/ child rearing), and to allow the men to embrace their unique gifts as men (provision/ protection/ leadership). Paul is encouraging the Gentile churches to align themselves with Torah, the foundation of all Scripture, and to proceed from there. These two structures have one thing in common: fostering proper godly honor for God-ordained authority. I bow my heart, and my mouth, before You, my King and my God. ♥
