Everything's Broken

Bob Dylan ~ Everything's Broken

Some thoughts on Matthew 24 ~ "The Signs of the End of the Age"

A) THE BEGINNING OF THE BIRTH PAINS ~ Verse 8

1) MANY COME IN THE NAME OF MESSIAH AND MANY BELIEVE THE DECEPTIONS:
Verse 5

Let's examine the word NAME used there:
For many will come in (on the strength of) My name (appropriating the name which belongs to Me)


G3686 (Strong's Concordance)
NAME ὄνομα onoma on‘-om-ah From a presumed derivative of the base of 1097



G1097 (Strong's Concordance)
γινώσκω ginōskō ghin-oce‘-ko A prolonged form of a primary verb; to “know” (absolutely), in a great variety of applications and with many implications (as shown at left, with others not thus clearly expressed): - allow, be aware (of), feel, (have) known (-ledge), perceive, be resolved, can speak, be sure, understand.


(compare 3685 ; a “name” (literally or figuratively), (authority, character) - called, (+ sur-) name

G3685 (Strong's Concordance)
ὀνίνημι oninēmi on-in‘-ay-mee A prolonged form of an apparent primary verb ὄνομαι onomai ; for which another prolonged form ὀνάω onaō is used as an alternate in some tenses (unless indeed it be identical with the base of 3686 (NAME) through the idea of notoriety); to gratify, that is, (middle voice) to derive pleasure or advantage from: - have joy.


Divine NAMES, and the power inherent in NAMES, biblically speaking, is right next to the power of blood, and both function as spiritual currency.
You could say Blood is like bills and Names are like coins.

Anyway, "Blood and Names" is a huge subject that I will be doing multiple separate posts on. Suffice it to say for now that the NAME of Yeshua / Jesus is a powerful possession when used as intended by those who know how to use it.

The whole reason you see all the world wide occult practices of invoking crazy arcane names to rouse demons and take power in all those bad movies is because this is truth, there is power in names, and outside of the word and the way of GOD and the Names He gives you there is great perversion of this NAME truth afoot in this world.


It started in earnest in the 12th century when the first works of Hebrew mysticism were translated into French and they were disseminated outside of the Jewish world, these disparate manuscripts later becoming what people now refer to as Kaballah. But this knowledge was as old as Abraham, and the domain of a very small number of Jews prior to the 12th century. This is also a part of why Europeans have historically feared, dreaded and hated Jews and accused them of having other worldly powers. All of their own subsequent "witchcraft" crap is largely based in perversions of Torah mysticism mixed with indigenous tribalism.

All occult practices are largely perversions of Torah mysticism. Period.

Anyway....


What I find interesting about this passage is when you look deeper into the translations, what this use of NAME says there is that these false messiahs will cloak themselves in the MANTLE OF THE AUTHORITY OF HIS NAME. And they are. And he knew this would happen, 2,000 years later, way back in the day when he was a despised no one, a heretic pariah, and furthermore marked for death by his own religious authorities, with no chance of anyone caring about his name 6 months from his death, never mind 2,000 years later.

"YESHUA" (this word means Salvation in Hebrew)

"NAME" appears 933 times in the NIV version of the Bible



977 in the Amplified



1017 in the King James




Acts 3:6 But Peter said, Silver and gold (money) I do not have; but what I do have, that I give to you: in [the use of] the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!


Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.



Acts 4:17 But in order that it may not spread further among the people and the nation, let us warn and forbid them with a stern threat to speak any more to anyone in this name [or about this Person].


Acts 4:18 [So] they summoned them and imperatively instructed them not to converse in any way or teach at all in or about the name of Jesus.


Acts 5:28 Saying, We definitely commanded and strictly charged you not to teach in or about this Name; yet here you have flooded Jerusalem with your doctrine and you intend to bring this Man's blood upon us.


Acts 5:40 So, convinced by him, they took his advice; and summoning the apostles, they flogged them and sternly forbade them to speak in or about the name of Jesus, and allowed them to go.


Acts 9:16 For I will make clear to him how much he will be afflicted and must endure and suffer for My name's sake.




Now... why do you think the Sanhedrin was so up in arms about ordering the apostles not to teach IN THE AUTHORITY OF "THAT MAN'S NAME"?

Because they knew precisely how powerful that name was. And is.

B) At this point there is a delineation made between the birth pains grouping and the next grouping, which, by implication of the first, indicates that this set will be happening during the the actual birthing stage VERSE 8

All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the birth pangs [of the intolerable anguish].
