Ephesians 3:9-11- The Creation and Purpose of the αἰών -The Ages-

Ephesians 3:9–11
9 καὶ φωτίσαι πάντας τίς ἡ κοινωνία τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ ἀποκεκρυμμένου ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων ἐν τῷ Θεῷ τῷ τὰ πάντα κτίσαντι διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10 ἵνα γνωρισθῇ νῦν ταῖς ἀρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς ἐξουσίαις ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις διὰ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἡ πολυποίκιλος σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ
11 κατὰ πρόθεσιν τῶν αἰώνων ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν·
​Ephesians 3:9–11 (NKJV)
9 and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;
10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places,
11 according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
 There is a ton packed into these 3 verses of Ephesians 3:9-11, but I want to focus on one word that is used twice in this passage. It is the Greek word αἰών, meaning age. This word has always intrigued me because it is kind of a mysterious word. One of my favorite Bible verses is 1 John 2:17-
​And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who is committed to the will of God abides unto the forever.
The word forever is the same word in our text, αἰών. This word has been translated ages, time, world, eternity, and forever, which is a pretty wide range of meanings for one word, but that is what is so intriguing about it. 

I was reading Ephesians 3 yesterday and saw this word show up twice in these three verses, but yet our English translation, again has two different English words for the same exact Greek word. I started digging in, and like always found a treasure!

The main thrust of verses 9-11, and the first three chapters of Ephesians for that matter, is Paul telling us of the incomprehensible idea that God has given us His Son for the purpose of having an eternal family to live and abide in Him forever! This multifaceted wisdom of God, ἡ πολυποίκιλος σοφία, as we see in verse 10, was hidden in Him from after the ages, but has now been revealed to us in these last times. This wisdom has always been according to His purpose to have a family. 
The text in verse 9 says God hid the wisdom of His plan of redemption from after the ages, ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων. The English translation portrays He hid this since the beginning of the ages were created or a better translation is "from after" the ages.  We know the ages were created by the Word of God and committed to Jesus, Heb 11:3, 1:2. Therefore, the ages are part of creation. The Greek text in verse 11 says, "πρόθεσιν τῶν αἰώνων" the purpose of the ages. This is slightly different from verse 9 because the text does not say, "ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων", from after the ages, but instead omits the ἀπὸ, from. The English translates this as eternal purpose, changing this noun into an adjective. This would be a correct translation if ἀπὸ was in the text, but it isn't. Therefore, αἰώνων is a noun in the genitive case, not an adjective, and it should be translated "purpose of the ages". I agree that God has an "eternal" purpose, but that is not exactly what is being said here. It is according to the purpose of the ages which He committed to Christ Jesus. In both instances in verses 9 and 11 we see the αἰώνων portrayed as a created being and we also see it having a purpose in the plan of redemption.
I know this may sound a little strange, but we must allow ourselves to think that "the all", τα παντα, of creation is alive. For it says in the Gospels that the stones will cry out, Lk 19:40. In the Psalms it says the creation will praise His Name, Ps 66:4, 148:3-6. In Romans it says the creation is groaning for it's redemption, Rom 8:20. Isaiah says the creation will sing and clap their hands, Is 55:12. In Revelation, all of creation worships Him, Rev 5:13.
So if we follow this line of thinking, what was the purpose of the ages? Ages can most closely be attributed to time. God is outside of time, but the creation is subject to time, and time is probably the most valuable resource there is. Therefore, God, after subordinating His creation to the condition of time, namely the ages, He committed, ἐποίησεν, Eph 3:11, this precious resource to His Son, Jesus Christ, and in this resource of time, God fulfilled His purpose of having a family. For thousands of years, God developed His plan thru the constraints of His creation, namely time and men,  to ultimately fulfill His redemption plan and purpose, and at the appointed time, Gal 4:4, Rom 5:6, He sent His Son into the world as its Savior to redeem mankind from the bondage of sin and death; giving mankind the opportunity to be reconciled to Him for τοῖς αἰῶσι τοῖς ἐπερχομένοις, the ages to come, Eph 2:7.
The ages is one of the fundamental building blocks in God's creation. If God would not have created the αἰῶν, He could not have fulfilled the redemptive act of the cross in which His Son was sent to this world to accomplish. It was through these ages, that God chose to deal with mankind; to deliver His Law, make a remedy for sin, administer His grace on all who would believe, and ultimately live in the τοῖς αἰῶσι τοῖς ἐπερχομένοις, the ages to come with His family forever. God had to create forever for us to live with Him in the forever!!!

​The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen
Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων υμῶν. ἀμην.

Heb 2:11 - Jesus is not ashamed to call us His brethren

12/24/2019

​Hebrews 2:11
11 ὅ, τε γὰρ ἁγιάζων καὶ οἱ ἁγιαζόμενοι, ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντες· διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοὺς καλεῖν,
11 For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

The immortal God had to become a mortal man to taste death for mankind and free us from the bondage of sin and death.
In verse 11, Paul continues with the word "for", linking this it to his previous statement in verse 10, "the Leader of our salvation, to make complete the leading of the sons to glory through sufferings." Jesus has completed the Way to salvation on the cross. He has paid the debt of sin, redeemed mankind from the bondage of death, and has ascended on high, seated on the right hand of the Father.
Now he continues, "For He who sanctifies, and those who are being sanctified are out of one."
Let's take a deeper look at the text.
We know that "He who sanctifies" is Jesus. Our Savior, the Captain of our Salvation, is the only one who can make us Holy and set us apart from sin.
"and those who are being sanctified", this is us; all those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God and our Savior. We have been led out of the grasp and bondage of death, He has made us holy, set us apart and made us acceptable to be partakers in the inheritance of the saints in Light, Col 1:12. 
Now this is the key statement Paul is building toward in verse 11. "For both", Jesus and us who believe in Him, "are all of one."
Of one what? you might ask. Well I am glad you did.
It is true we are One with Him in Christ as believers, and this is a natural thought one might have concerning this verse, but that is not exactly what Paul is saying here. For the saying in Ephesians that "we are One with Him in Christ", Eph 1:10,  is absolutely true, but it is not in the same line of thinking that is in this verse. For in order for us to be exalted on high and seated with Him in heavenly places, Eph 2:6, He first had to be made low, Eph 4:9, John 1:14, in fact as Paul says in verse 9, "But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone."
Jesus had to, for a short time, be made lower than the angels and become a man, that He might taste death for everyone. The immortal God had to become a mortal man to taste death for mankind.
This is the "one" that is being spoken of in verse 11. That Jesus, the Creator of the universe, had to become a man taking on Him flesh and blood. This word "one" in verse 11 is speaking of "one type", namely mankind. For Jesus first had to become a man and suffer the penalty of sin and death on the cross before He could lead us to glory, exalting us as One with Him in heavenly places.
Paul then continues again with a connecting statement, διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν, for which reason, He is not ashamed or embarrassed to call us His brethren. 
What an amazing statement! That Jesus would come down from His place of authority in heaven, Phil 2:7-8, be made like one of us, for the purpose that He could then taste death for us and redeem us from our sin and rescue us from the bondage of eternal death, exalting us and seating us on high with Him in heavenly places as children of God! And in this, Jesus was not ashamed to call us His brethren. He was not embarrassed to be made one of us. How unusual is that? Have you ever seen an earthly king or someone in authority give up their right to power and authority to be one of the common folk? And what's more, to be happy and joyful in the process, for it says in a certain place, that "for the joy He endured the cross", Heb 12:2. Jesus was joyful to fulfill the will of the Father, to taste death for every man, to lead the sons unto glory, and unite us as a family with our Father in heaven.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen

Hebrews 2:10- The Leading of the Sons unto Glory made Perfect

12/22/2019

Jesus Leading the Captives Free
In our church Bible study class we are studying the book of Hebrews. And as I was reading chapter 2, I came across something very interesting in verse 10 where it reads "to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings". 
This wording struck me as odd. Why would Jesus need to be made perfect through sufferings? Isn't He already perfect? The answer is yes, He is perfect, and if He wasn't perfect He could not have been the unblemished sacrifice, the Lamb of God sent to take away the sins of the world.
​So why does the Bible say that He was made perfect through sufferings? Or does it? Our English Bible says this, but this is merely a translation. To get the true fruit of the inspired Word we must read this in the original language of Greek to get this answer. 
​Below, on the left, is the Greek text of the true textus receptus and on the right we have the NKJV. 

Hebrews 2:10
10 ἔπρεπε γὰρ αὐτῷ, διʼ ὃν τὰ πάντα καὶ διʼ οὗ τὰ πάντα, πολλοὺς υἱοὺς εἰς δόξαν ἀγαγόντα, τὸν ἀρχηγὸν τῆς σωτηρίας αὐτῶν διὰ παθημάτων τελειῶσαι.
​10 For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.  

As a quick recap of this verse, verses 10 thru 18 explain Jesus, the Creator of the all, who became a man, led captivity out of hell, Eph 4:8, being the leader and chief captain of our salvation, proclaiming the Name of God and singing praise to the Father. 
Jesus did this first at Calvary, specifically in the depths of Hades, and He is still doing this today for His brethren as our High Priest, the Advocate to the Father, 1 Jn 2:1.
So again I ask, "why would Jesus need to be made perfect or complete?" The answer is, "He doesn't". He was perfect, He is perfect, and He will always be perfect.
On the other hand, we are the ones who need to be completed. Jesus was sent to to this world to perfect and complete us, namely thru His blood and the redemptive act on the cross. 
If we take a careful look at the Greek text, we find that this is exactly what the Word is saying. It is not saying that the captain of our salvation is perfected through suffering, but rather that the act of leading the sons of God to glory is what is being perfected and completed through the suffering of Christ on the cross.
If you look above at the English text, you will notice the words "to make" and "perfect" are separated by the phrase "the captain of their salvation". But look at the Greek text. This statement, "to make perfect" is one Greek word, τελειῶσαι. This comes from the same Greek word that Jesus cried out on the cross, Τετέλεσται, it is finished, Jn 19:30. 
Now bear with me as I explain this Greek grammar to you because the treasure is hidden in the text.

τελειῶσαι-is an infinitive verb. These types of verbs are not limited by person, number or gender, and they do not modify nouns. So this is our first clue that it can't be talking about the captain of our salvation because that is a noun.
Instead they have two functions. They can either stand on their own and act as a noun, essentially acting as a direct object, or they can act or complete the meaning of a previous finite verb. Context is the only judge on this.
In the case of Hebrews 2:10, τελειῶσαι is acting upon the  finite verb ἀγαγόντα- which means "leading". So this word "to finish or complete" is acting on the "leading" of sons to glory.
​Therefore, it is the act of salvation and the leading of the sons to glory that is made perfect, not Jesus. Jesus is perfect, He has always been perfect, and will always be perfect. It is us and the plan of salvation for mankind that had to be made perfect and complete, and Jesus accomplished this on the cross,  Τετέλεσται - It is finished!!!

Ah, the magnificent language of Greek!

Therefore a better translation of Hebrews 2:10 would be:
10 for He was fitting, because of Whom the all, and through Whom the all, for the leader of their salvation, to make perfect and complete the leading of many sons unto glory,  through sufferings.

​The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen

Historical Bible Exhibit

Exactly two years ago I wrote a book called the History of the Bible.
​This is such a passion of mine. I love the Bible, the Living Word of God, and I love studying the progression of how we got our Bible. However, in all my studies I found there is not one book out there that pulls the entire history together, so I decided to write my own History of the Bible.
https://www.insightoftheking.com/the-history-of-the-bible.html

About one year later, roughly one year ago, I finished what I call the Historical Bible Exhibit on my website. This is a free exhibit that follows the outline of my book in an effort to teach those who want to learn about the heritage of our Christianity and the History of our Bible. Here is the link to the exhibit:

Hope you enjoy!

A New and Exciting Life

12/21/2019

As of December 13th, 2019 I am no longer working at Freelance. I have decided to focus my time to proclaiming the Good News of Jesus and taking care of my family. 
After 26 years of service dedicated to the building of cabinets and architectural millwork, I am hanging it up to pursue a new career with Jesus. I am not exactly sure what He has in store for me, but I am trusting in Him and walking by faith, knowing the future is going to be great.
About a month ago I received a Word from the Lord telling me not to be entangled with the world. We are in the world, but not of the world, Jn 17:16. And we must not entangle ourselves with the affairs of this life. In everything we must keep our focus on Him. Holding fast to Him and His Word and not be distracted by the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and the lust of other things, Mk 4:19. 
The Lord showed me 2 Tim 2:4 like I have never seen it before:
2 Timothy 2:4
4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

This spoke to my heart and changed my life. After this, all I saw when reading the Scriptures was this phrase- "Do not be entangled with the affairs of this life."
Keep your eye on the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus, Phil 3:14.

I have a lot of great things in the works and am excited to see God moving in my life.
  • I am continuing my studies of the Greek New Testament and learning to read the New Testament in the original Greek language as it was given by the Holy Spirit. This has been so rewarding and fruitful. The depth of this language is astounding and I am so grateful to be learning it.
  • I have started my own business collecting and selling rare antiquarian Bibles and Bible leaves
    • Through this, I have created a Historical Bible Exhibit of how we got our Bible and wrote a book about it
  • By the favor and grace of God, I have also become more active in the church, specifically the Bible study class that my dad teaches every Sunday at Victory Church. I have had the pleasure to teach on a couple of occasions and hope to do so more in the future.
    • this class has introduced me to a fellowship of believers, showing me the true definition of the Biblical term "κοινωνια"
With Jesus we can have the confidence knowing that the future is bright and full of unending joy and happiness in this life and that which is to come!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, Amen
