00:00: Well good evening everyone.
00:03: It is good to see everyone back.
00:06: I know last week was somewhat of an anomaly because of the weather and several of you were out.
00:11: I did put the, it was the first time we'd ever put one of these classes on livestream, so if you weren't here and you had the opportunity to watch the livestream, I hope that was helpful.
00:21: If you didn't watch the livestream, hopefully you caught the audio.
00:25: Either way, last week was our first pop quiz and tonight is pop quiz two.
00:33: The Wrath of Khan.
00:35: No, it's pop quiz, another pop quiz.
00:38: So hopefully you at least did the work from the book from last week because the quiz is based on that.
00:44: It is the prepositions, but we're not doing it right off.
00:49: The thing I'd like to do before we go into that is I'd like to go over our lesson for homework.
00:56: So if you would take out lesson nine, we're going to do our homework first, then we are going to do the quiz, and then we're going to do tonight's lesson.
01:08: And while you're opening your books, I want to give you a heads up on something else.
01:12: If you are planning to come to the next class, which is beginning our two-year program.
01:19: It's going to be the startup of our new two-year program.
01:22: Survey of the Old Testament, eight weeks in class.
01:27: You will need to purchase a book, but this book is not just for this class.
01:33: This book will also function as the book for the Survey of the New Testament, and it is the Believer's Bible Commentary, edited by McDonald.
01:44: If you look that up on Amazon, it runs right around $19.
01:49: It is a very good commentary.
01:51: I've used it for years, and so not only will it function for this class and for the New Testament class, it'll also function in your Bible study.
02:00: It'll function as a Bible student.
02:04: It will be a nice tool for you to have.
02:07: So if you're coming to the Survey of the Old Testament class, I want to go ahead and recommend that you purchase the book.
02:14: I will have copies of the syllabus next week to hand out to you for that class, because there is one thing that you're going to need to do prior to the class.
02:23: There's one article in the commentary that I want you to read before the first class.
02:28: So I'll have all that information to you next week, and class begins on March, I think it's the 19th, because we get a two-week break.
02:37: So we'll have this class, this class ends, and then we have a two-week break before the next one starts.
02:44: Everybody good? Know what we're doing? All right, let's look at Lesson 9, Words Formed by Combining with Prepositions.
02:53: Combining with prepositions, this is something we do in English as well, and this is something that it's good to learn and see how these work.
03:05: Some of these combinations were formed by the Greeks.
03:08: Others are English words formed with Greek roots.
03:11: So the first one on the list, number one, what's the answer there, Mark, on number one? That's right.
03:22: Number two, Alan? That's right.
03:27: Number three, John? Didn't do it? Okay.
03:31: Number three, Nancy? Hey, that's right.
03:36: Number four, I didn't call it on you, but okay, that's right.
03:43: Number five, the C is right.
03:44: Number five, Johnny? All right.
03:47: Last one, number six, Manoa? Yeah, thank you.
03:51: Very good.
03:52: Okay, so that's, that's those, and you see how it takes para, which is the, is the preposition for being beside something.
04:02: Well, we think of the word parallel as based on that same prefix or preposition, and so we have those words that are based on that.
04:11: Probably, to me, the most interesting one is parabolo.
04:15: You see that one that's number three? That's where we get the word parable.
04:20: Parable.
04:22: Parable is what? I'm asking, what is a parable? An example, that's right.
04:33: It's, but the word parabolo means to throw alongside.
04:36: It means to set something alongside something else, so it's, it's a, it is an example.
04:42: It's a, it's, it's, it's saying the, the, huh? Yeah, you know, when Jesus tells the story of the prodigal son, that's a parable, and it's meant to go alongside the truth and give an example of, of this truth, of the love of God, right? And the, and the two brothers, which represented the nation of Israel and the Gentiles and all of those things, and so you set it alongside.
05:09: There's another word, which we're going to see later tonight or next week, I forget.
05:13: It's the word hyperbolo, and you've heard the word hyperbole in English.
05:20: What is hyperbole? Exaggerated.
05:23: So where a parable would be setting something alongside, hyperbole is when you give it, like, I am, I could eat a horse.
05:33: That's hyperbole.
05:35: No one can literally eat a horse, but you can eat horse meat, but you can't eat the whole horse.
05:42: But the idea, but the idea is the same.
05:45: It's, it's whether you're using parable or hyperbole.
05:49: I do believe Jesus used hyperbole.
05:51: For instance, when he said, if your right eye causes you to sin, cut it out.
05:57: I don't think that Jesus was literally telling us to take a knife and literally gouge out our eye, even though sometimes it feels like that would probably be the easiest way to deal with some sins, would be to just cut our hands off or cut our eyes out.
06:11: But I think those are hyperbole.
06:13: Those are exaggerated examples of a truth.
06:18: Somebody's here.
06:26: Yes, you can come in and use a restroom, dear.
06:30: If you go down the hallway, it's on the left, right when you pass the double doors.
06:36: Okay, now that's hyperbaric.
06:42: That's that.
06:43: Yeah, that deals.
06:44: Yeah, yeah, that's something different.
06:46: Yes, sir.
06:49: Okay, so that's our first six.
06:52: The next is beginning at number seven.
06:56: I'm just going to go through them for the sake of time.
06:59: The first one is J.
07:02: That's right.
07:02: Next one is K.
07:06: Epigrapho is where we get the word epigraph.
07:09: Next, G.
07:11: Next, very good.
07:14: Next, H.
07:16: Very good.
07:17: Next, N.
07:19: All right, 13.
07:24: Oh, 14.
07:27: L, 15, and 16.
07:35: All right.
07:36: Episcopos.
07:37: Episcopos.
07:38: What was what we talked about that last, either last week or the week before.
07:42: What are we, what English word do we get from Episcopos? Episcopal, right, means a church that functions under the oversight of an overseer.
07:56: Episcopos means oversight or overseer.
08:00: Roman Catholics have the Pope.
08:03: Anglicans have the Archbishop of Canterbury.
08:05: That is the overseer of the church.
08:08: Those are called Episcopal governments.
08:11: Then you have Presbyterian governments, which have a group of overseers called presbyteros or presbyters or elders.
08:18: And that's a Presbyterian form of government.
08:21: That's a form of government we have here at this church.
08:23: It means there's not one person who is overseeing, but there is a group of men who oversee the church.
08:29: And then you have congregational government, which means everybody gets a vote.
08:34: That's very American, but it's also very unbiblical.
08:36: Yeah, I said it.
08:37: Come at me.
08:41: The most dangerous thing in the world is democracy, because in a pure democracy, 51% can take away what the other 49% have amassed.
08:51: That's not part of the class.
08:52: That goes back to the ethics class.
08:55: All right, so number 17.
09:00: What is it? V like Victor.
09:02: That's right.
09:03: Next.
09:05: S.
09:06: 19.
09:08: That one, I believe, is R.
09:11: Yeah, R.
09:12: The point of orbit far from Earth.
09:14: The apogee.
09:15: The word is Earth.
09:18: And so apogee.
09:21: Number 20.
09:23: Y.
09:24: 21.
09:26: Q.
09:27: Right.
09:29: Number 22.
09:32: W.
09:33: Yeah.
09:34: Diaspora.
09:35: Now that's an important word.
09:37: Diaspora.
09:37: Does anybody know where we would find that word in the Bible? That's right.
09:41: The ones who have been scattered like seed.
09:46: Because spora is seed.
09:49: Right? So diaspora.
09:52: The diaspora.
09:53: Those who've been scattered throughout.
09:56: 23.
09:58: Yep.
10:00: Parousia.
10:01: The parousia is the word we tend to associate with the coming of Christ.
10:08: 24.
10:10: U.
10:12: Now what is what is the prefix? Or not the prefix, but the preposition ante mean? Against.
10:19: I've been thinking about.
10:19: I wanted to mention that one this week.
10:21: If you have trouble remembering that.
10:23: If you think about someone who's who's against something, they're anti that thing.
10:27: You know, I'm an anti-abortionist because I don't believe in abortion.
10:32: I'm against abortion.
10:33: So that word in English means against.
10:37: And in Greek it does as well.
10:39: Yes, sir.
10:41: Yeah, exactly.
10:42: And it would be antichristos.
10:44: It would be the the one who's against Christ.
10:46: That's right.
10:48: Very good.
10:55: Okay.
10:55: And then where were we? 25.
11:02: X.
11:02: That's right.
11:04: Antithes.
11:05: Antithes.
11:06: And now the next one.
11:07: You know me.
11:08: I love pictures.
11:10: So this one is a little bit more interesting.
11:13: You've got the the pictures, the drawings.
11:16: Let's walk through those.
11:17: What is the what would be the first word? The word for man.
11:24: Anthropos.
11:25: That's the one that's in the square.
11:27: All right.
11:28: The next word for right.
11:32: Huh? What'd you say? Grafo.
11:38: That that's that's the word that that's that's the one that's there.
11:41: It's grafe, grafo.
11:44: Grafe is actually a feminine word.
11:47: When you when you apply the standard of whether it's masculine, feminine, or neuter, it's a it's it comes up as feminine, has grafe at the end.
11:56: But when you when you add the omega at the end, it's it changes it somewhat slightly.
12:02: All right.
12:03: So next one.
12:05: Skin.
12:07: Derma.
12:08: Grave.
12:11: Taphos.
12:13: Law.
12:15: Namas.
12:16: That's right.
12:16: That's an important word too.
12:17: Namas.
12:18: Laws is is a word.
12:21: Yeah.
12:21: Antinomian.
12:22: One who's against the law.
12:25: Treasure.
12:27: Thesaurus.
12:30: Seed.
12:34: Spora.
12:35: Yeah.
12:36: Yeah.
12:37: And earth.
12:39: It's either gay or cosmos.
12:42: It depends on how it's used.
12:43: Typically the word cosmos refers to the world.
12:48: You know, for God so loved the world, that's cosmos.
12:51: But if you hear the word, if you see earth, that's gay.
12:55: You typically that's the trans.
12:59: Yeah, it's it's the world.
13:01: You know, don't love the world nor the things in the world.
13:04: You know those that it's it's it's it's got a different sort of like house and home.
13:07: Can they be synonymous? Yes, but they both have nuance of meaning and and it's useful to distinguish.
13:15: Sea.
13:18: Uh-huh.
13:19: Shining.
13:23: Phanaros or Phanaros.
13:25: Yeah.
13:26: And throne.
13:28: Thronos.
13:29: Yeah.
13:29: Thronos.
13:30: Very good.
13:31: Okay.
13:32: Pronunciation check.
13:33: How would you pronounce the first word? Or just give me the letter.
13:39: But how would we say that? Alelus.
13:43: All right.
13:44: Next word.
13:45: J.
13:45: And how would we say that? They say Rus.
13:50: Yeah.
13:52: Next.
13:54: E.
13:55: Yeah.
13:58: Epiphaneia.
14:02: Yep.
14:02: Because it is the the the the Epsilon Iota make the a sound.
14:09: Next.
14:11: Yep.
14:12: Theo.
14:13: That's another use of the word God.
14:15: So that is D.
14:17: Next.
14:20: I.
14:20: Parousia.
14:22: Six.
14:23: Very important word.
14:24: Yesus.
14:26: Number seven.
14:29: Legay.
14:31: And that is H.
14:36: Number eight.
14:40: Okay.
14:41: Thank you.
14:42: Yeah.
14:43: That would be C.
14:46: Number nine.
14:49: F.
14:50: Gase.
14:51: And number ten.
14:55: Yeah.
14:56: It's not right.
14:59: The book has made a mistake.
15:01: Can you believe it? Somebody published this thing.
15:04: Charge money for it.
15:06: And that's the second one.
15:07: That's right.
15:09: What should it be? Everything okay? Okay.
15:17: Parabale.
15:18: There should be a lambda there before the last letter.
15:21: So so you could it is still a but the but uh mm-hmm yeah so there'd be lambda lambda eta there for the last two letters all right now let's go to the meaning check now this is important because this is going to be part of your quiz oh yeah so just keep in mind number 11 epi means on that's right number 12 Thanos it's in torch that's right now what about effort epiphania T which means shine upon and think about that if if if Thanos means torch epiphania is the same root word with the prefix which is the preposition epi on so torch or light and light upon or shine upon yep okay 14 s treasure 15 all right that's right it's a parable to do 16 m that's right it's of God because of the they you when would it not be of God if that's still in the genitive it's written that way but it wouldn't be of God if it follows a if it follows a preposition it follows a preposition it would not say of God no it would still be they you they you doesn't mean it has to have the of they you it means it's in the genitive but if the genitive receives the preposition prior to it it doesn't need the of so I mean this is just as translational issue if you ordinarily you know it's simply about how you're saying it if it doesn't sound right to have the of leave the of out if you if you feel like you need the I've put the oven but if there's a preposition you shouldn't need the of okay where were we 17 namu of law just same thing said preposition or genitive 18 V word that word that's right 19 you out 20 why because I said so 21 X that's right oppa from 22 W is through that's right 23 against that's right and 24 that's right peru Zia peru Zia it technically is visitation they say Christ's coming anytime we see the idea peru Zia it's the visitation of Christ it refers to a second coming but it doesn't mean Christ coming it means visitation so yeah yeah yeah say yeah that's a cognate in English yeah taking it over yeah and the next one is our Bible verses now mark and I were talking about this before class it's easy if you know these verses to just plug the words in one of the things that I do when I'm going through this because I'm going through the book as well you know I've been through it before but I'm I have a new book and I'm I'm writing you know the answers as I go what I do is I I don't read the English words I just try to read the Greek first to translate it then I go back and I read the whole thing to see if I've translated it correctly so the first word is don't lay it for yourself treasure on earth right and then for where your treasure is there will your cardia your heart we know that whatever the namas law says it says to those who are under the Namo which is still the law in English it doesn't necessarily have to change it's changing in Greek because it's going from being the object of the to it's it's changing its form whether it's a subject to the or the object and and and all those things is why it would have the different ending that every mouth may be stopped in the whole world be accountable to God because by that's a good important word Ergon where we get the word energy right erga ergonomic you know Ergon and then of law because it's in the genitive and it doesn't yeah so be by works of law or the law you could add that you could add the article no flesh shall be justified the Lord Jesus will destroy the lawless one by the this one's a little difficult because you you in your mind you're thinking about how it's how it comes in your Bible right because most of you are probably familiar the Lord Jesus will destroy the lawless one by thee and then you think about what word your Bible uses what word did y'all translate it as appearance brightness breath well actually the word is epiphany I remember what we said Phineas means torch or light so this would be actually a translation of the word splendor or brightness that would be so that would be what that word is is translating there but brightness is certainly acceptable translation and it's the brightness of his what of his peruse EOS his return or his visitation is he will destroy the lawless one simply by the very glory of his presence you think of Moses coming down off the mountain when he was in the presence of God and he shined to the point where the people couldn't even look at him imagine the face of your Savior when he comes in flaming fire to bring wrath on his adversaries the Bible says the sword of the Spirit will come out of his mouth like a or the words will come out like a sword from his mouth I mean it's just an amazing picture and it's going to destroy his adversaries so that's the the splendor or the brightness of his return therefore comfort alelus one another or one another yeah with these words very good is there let me look back at it real quick where we at mm-hmm yeah I see the oops salon there and then but when we spoke of it on the page before and it's in the box and we think of it for where your treasure there's no it is it's it's in the singular yeah I don't know I honest I just gonna have to give you the answer if I don't know I have to look it up what causes it to be plural but they're just like in huh that's the only difference in those two words and one is plural and one is singular but I'm not sure how it functions in other words because there must like you say there's a rule that's that's that's functioning here and I don't think it's just the addition of the oops salon there because that can also make something into a genitive as well so I'd have to look that up as to what's causing that to be plural because I don't know Ralph top of my head sorry mr.
