Romans 11:19: “Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in”.
English “were broken off” was translated from Greek verb 1575 ekklao from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting origin and Greek verb 2806 klao meaning to remove a part from the whole. Greek verb 1575 ekklao means to remove a part from the whole from whence it came.
English might be graffed in was translated from Greek verb 1461 egkentrizo which appears only five times in Romans 11:17, 19, 23 and 24. Greek verb 1461 egkentrizo is from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting origin and Greek noun 2759 kentron which is a fascinating word, translated five times into “sting” and “prick” with Jesus being the cause of two “pricks” in Acts 9:5 and 26:14. The tails of scorpions once caused the “stings” of Revelation 9:10. Death twice caused the “sting” of 1Corinthians 15:55 and 56. Greek noun 2759 kentron is a goad [confused yet?] which may be enhanced by understanding Greek words 2754-2759. We especially need to understand a goad and understand how the “sting” of a scorpion works. Verbs are always helpful to identify grammatical subjects. Flesh grammatical subjects render very different actions and their grammatical objects receive very different actions than God renders. Greek verb 2758 kenoo means to cause someone to be devoid of something. Greek verb 2758 kenoo has been translated into English “make void” “made void” and “be made of none effect” but was most interestingly translated into “made” “of no reputation” in Philippians 2:5-7 which we will explain after connecting “scorpions” to Genesis 6:3 and 1Corinthians 5:5. Flesh death causes human beings to be devoid of flesh life. Jesus causes human beings to be devoid of flesh thoughts and subsequently devoid of the spiritual “death” of Revelation 20:5. English word “death” appears 126 times in the New Testament most often referring to spiritual death. God’s “election” achieve “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:4. The “dead” of Revelation 20:4 are “the rest” of Romans 11:7. The “election” will preclude “the rest” from “the second death” of Revelation 20:5. English “to hurt” in Revelation 9:10 was translated from Greek verb 91 adikeo most often translated into English “wrong”. Greek verb 91 adikeo is from a compound of Greek preposition 1 a synonymous with English un or not and Greek noun 1349 dike being right as God defines right which we will further explain after connecting “scorpions” to Genesis 6:3 and 1Corinthians 5:5. Scorpions can ingest food only in a liquid form; they have external digestion. The digestive juices from the gut are egested onto the food and the digested food sucked in liquid form. God must also change the form of most human beings; which has been God’s plan since the beginning. Genesis 6:3 says: “And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years”. 1Corinthians 5:5 says: “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus”. We fully explained God’s process in the analogy of “the rich man” contained in our post: God Creates His Own People/Nation Romans 11:11 which was a long winded way to document God’s use of “the election” exuding God’s “light” to “provoke to emulation” “the rest” before and especially during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” “that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus”. “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” and “the election” will cause “the rest” to “come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
Greek verb 2758 kenoo meaning to cause someone to be devoid of something, has been translated into English “make void” “made void” and “be made of none effect” but was most interestingly translated into “made” “of no reputation” in Philippians 2:5-7. We committed to explain “make” “of no reputation” in Philippians 2:5-7 after connecting “scorpions” to Genesis 6:3 and 1Corinthians 5:5 concluded above. The short explanation is: God temporarily made His existence as “God Almighty” temporarily devoid in order to make Himself our spiritual grammatical subject by dying on a Roman cross as a flesh human being. Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus”
Philippians 2:6 “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God” Philippians 2:7 “But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men” Philippians 2:8 “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross”. God came to earth in the flesh embodiment of Jesus Christ. God and Jesus Christ come to earth in the form of the Holy Spirit and “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him”. God came to earth in the form of “the Word” as documented in John 1:1 and Hebrews 10:7. God came to earth in the form of Melchisedec/ Melchizedek as documented in John 8:56-58 Genesis 14:18 Psalm 110:1-4 and Hebrews 7:1-22. I will be surprised if God did not come to earth in the embodiment of other human beings who established ancient writings in multiple languages throughout the world.
