INDIVIDUALS VS THE MAJORITY

  • In Chapter 22, we see David who keeps following Yah.weh!
  • He goes where he is told to go by Yah.weh’s prophet!
  • On the contrary, Saul does according to his own will!
  • He keeps going away from Yah.weh!
  • When he is told about Ahimelec, he wants him and all the priests of his father’s house to be brought to him!
  • And he accused him of conspiracy!
  • He doesn’t care about what Ahimelec says!
  • And Saul tells his guards to kill Ahimelec and all the priests of Yah.weh!
  • He opposes Yah.weh, he fights Yah.weh!
  • And he thinks he won’t have a very bad end!
  • This attitude is so usual!
  • And then people are surprised when they have a very bad end!
  • How blind!
  • But so was Israel!
  • And Judah !
  • And mankind!
  • And as if it was not enough, he strikes Nob the city of the priests and destroys everything!
  • Men, women, children, infants and animals!
  • But he will pay for that and his sons too!
  • Yah.weh’s justice!
  • And Yah.weh’s day won’t be different!
  • Yah.weh’s justice!
  • It won’t be any surprise even if for the majority it will be a surprise!
  • But it is written everywhere in the Bible!
  • Always the same warning!
  • And they don’t listen!
 
  • In Chapter 22, after the murders of the priests, one son of Ahimelec can escape and goes to David!
  • And David tells him that he will be under his protection!
  • David adds he is responsible for the murders because he saw Doeg and he knew he was going to tell Saul!
  • Thus David assumes his responsibilities!
  • He is a man of honor!
  • But he will become king!
  • And gradually he will lose this quality!
  • It is something difficult to get!
  • But when you get power, it is also easy to lose!
  • It is like accurate knowledge!
  • It is hard to get it!
  • You need to study the Bible a lot!
  • Because the Bible is multidimensional!
  • But it is difficult to understand that!
  • People usually prefer to stay at the surface!
 
  • In Chapter 23, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah!
  • So David asks Yah.weh if he must fight against them!
  • And Yah.weh tells him to go!
  • But his men are afraid!
  • So David asks Yah.weh a second time!
  • And Yah.weh tells him to go!
  • There we can see that David tries his best to follow Yah.weh’s will!
  • He does not do it according to his own will!
  • But when he becomes king, gradually he will start to act according to his own will and not according to Yah.weh’s will!
  • And then he will get into big trouble!
  • We must not forget the example of David!

Remember:

  • He is the only man of whom Yah·weh said: there is no one like him on earth!
  • No man has faced such a trial!
  • He is the example of faithfulness!
  • He lost everything!
  • Yah.weh gave him back everything!
  • He proved the devil is a liar!
  • When we feel depressed, we may find comfort through the pages of his book!

  • If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
  • They used to write differently!

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:


  • Point of time (a specific day)
  • time period of a whole or half a day:
    • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
    • Sunrise to sunset
    • Sunset to next sunset
  • General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
  • A year "lived a lot of days"
  • Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"
__________________________________________________________________________

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

  • In Chapter 23, Saul knows that David is in Keilah!
  • And he thinks that Yah.weh has handed him over to him because he has trapped himself in the city!
  • How is it possible to think that way?
  • Yah.weh has rejected him!
  • David has always escaped his attempts to kill him!
  • People always make a film in their heads!
  • But if you don’t make Yah.weh’s will, you can forget it!
  • Same with mankind!
  • On the contrary, David asks Yah.weh what the leaders of Keilah will do and if Saul will come against him!
  • And Yah.weh tells him what’s going to happen!
  • So David leaves the city with his men and escapes!
  • Finally, Saul hears about David's escape so he doesn’t come against him!
  • Two completely different attitudes!
  • We should remember this episode!

Somebody says :



Numbers chapter 16. Korah was main instigator of 250 who rebelled against God and Moses. Gossip is dangerous. It started with several individuals and spread to 250. The majority are not always right. Korah was of priesthood. But wanted to be elevated. Envy and pride is dangerous. God chose Moses as the leader. Korah and some troublemakers challenged God. This isn't a democracy. It has to be done Gods way. Denominations are dangerous. They try to create their own way. Obedience to God is the only way. Korah is a lesson in denominations. Rebellion verses obedience to God. Satan as antichrist will come 6th trump. Those in denominations will go with the crowd, out of ignorance and worship antichrist. Revelation chapter 13 to document. Playing church has consequences. Many people will end up in hell. It's holding place for the spirtualty dead or wicked.
 
- My answer :



- You are completely right about Korah, gossip and God way!
- Now you can't prevent people from expressing themselves!
- Remember Noah and the flood!
- The majority died and just a family survived!
- Remember what happened to Israel and Judah and Jerusalem!
- The majority died and a minority survived!
- Remember the official religion, on the one hand, and Jesus and his disciples, on the other hand!
- When corruption spreads everywhere, you must get away from this corruption!
- When religion is corrupt, you can't stay inside!
- Do you remember Revelation 17, 18!
- Do you remember Revelation 17:1 about the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters!
- Do you remember Revelation 17:2 about her prostitution with the kings of the earth and those who dwell on the earth and who are intoxicated with the wine of her immorality!
- Do you remember Revelation 17:5 about Babylon the Great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth!
- She is drunk with the blood of the saints and of the witnesses for Jesus!
- Revelation 17:15 explaining that the waters Babylon the great is sitting on are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues!
- Revelation 17:16 and the prostitute will be hated and will stay desolate and naked!
- Revelation 18:2: Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a lair for demons and a haunt for every unclean spirit, every unclean bird and every detestable beast!
- Revelation 18:4: Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins or contract any of her plagues!

  • Coming back to 1 Samuel Chapter 25 and the event related to Nabal:
  • Because of Nabal’s attitude, David was to kill him and all his men!

  • In Chapter 26, David has another opportunity to kill Saul who is chasing him!
  • But he doesn’t do it because he is Yah.weh’s anointed!
  • He is ready to wait for Yah.weh to strike him!
  • And Saul leaves and David can keep on his way!
  • What a difference when he becomes king of Israel!
  • Here we get another warning!
  • What is the interest of looking for Yah.weh if we stop doing it!
  • FAITHFULNESS IS A WAY OF LIFE!
  • IT’S A STRAIGHT WAY!

About David:
  • He became king over Israel!
  • Then he took the wife of another man!
  • And he had him killed!
  • Apparently, he had forgotten Yah.weh!
  • Just because he became important!
  • Apparently, it is something quite usual among human beings!
  • It shows how easy it is to change completely!
  • And to lose everything!
 
- First I don't teach people!

- I read the Bible and I tell people about what I learn!

- When they ask me questions, I try to answer them!

- When it is possible to have a discussion, we have a discussion!

- If you look at the titles of my threads, I speak about the books of the Bible and especially about the faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- When it is different, it is because many people repeat the same arguments without knowing so I have to show how it works!

- It is necessary to check!

- About John 1:1, it is necessary to check through the Gospel of John about the use of the definite article or not!

- About Jesus' siblings, it is necessary to check the vocabulary used and the context in the different Gospels!

- About the reality of translations, it is necessary to analyze them!

- Before publishing a message, I usually publish the same information connected to the usual mistakes people make!

- Or important facts which must be remembered!
