Romans 11:3: Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
English “life” was translated from Greek noun 5590 psuche meaning soul ultimately being either flesh or Spirit.
Romans 11:4: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal”.
English “I have reserved to” in Romans 11:4 above was translated from Greek verb 2641 kataleipo from a compound of Greek preposition 2596 kata and Greek verb 3007 leipo. Greek preposition 2596 kata meaning down in the grammatical sense, as grammatical objects are down from their grammatical subject. Greek verb 3007 leipo was best translated into English “wanting” and “lack” in James 1:4 & 5. The crux of Greek verb 2641 kataleipo is that God as grammatical subject will supply everything God’s grammatical objects “lack” pursuant to bringing God’s will to fruition.
English “the image of Baal” was translated from Greek proper noun 896 Baal from Hebrew proper noun H1168 Ba`al which is any spiritual master [grammatical subject 2Peter 2:19] other than God as defined by Greek noun 5480 charagma in Acts 17:29 Revelation 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 15:2, 16:2, 19:20 and 20:4. If you copy and paste 5480 into http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html God will teach you that 666 “is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” and “the mark of the beast” is “man’s device” and the “beast” is any grammatical subject other than God. To better understand Hebrew proper noun H1168 Ba`al from God’s perspective and see through God’s eyes we need to understand Hebrew verb H1166 ba`al and Hebrew noun H1167 ba`al as they relate to a spiritual husband “Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD”. God sees human beings having spiritual grammatical subjects other than God as spiritual adultery. God came to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ to divide us. “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division” “The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law”. Husband and wife are not divided. “And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh” “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder”. English “put asunder” was translated from Greek verb 5563 chorizo better translated into English “separate” in Romans 8:33-39 also understanding that “us” and “we” in Romans 8:33-39 are “God’s elect” being the “election” of Romans 11:5,7 and 28 and the “he” in Romans 8:34 “Who” in verse 35 and “other creature” in verse in Romans 8:39 are “the rest” in Romans 11:7. Back to any spiritual husband [grammatical subject] other than God being Baal. In order to see God’s spiritual message through God’s eyes we must at least understand that English “saints” underlined below are God’s “election” and “white” underlined below was translated from Greek adjective 2986 lampros describing those who emit God’s light. God’s spiritual marriage is gender neutral and describes those who emanate God’s light. The marriage of English “sayings” in Revelation 19:9 underlined below is the marriage of God’s “election” to God’s “Word” as it was “In the beginning”. English “sayings” in Revelation 19:9 underlined below was translated from Greek noun 3056 logos which was translated into “Word” in John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. “The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son” “And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come” “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready” And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints” “And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God”. “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace”. I do not know if I am among God’s “election”. I certainly do not believe that I am entirely God’s thoughts and won’t know until I take my last flesh breath. I know I am addicted to understanding God’s spiritual Hebrew and Greek words. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. God in the embodiment of Jesus Christ said “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”.
