Romans 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
English “Sion” emboldened in Romans 9:33 was translated from Greek proper locative noun 4622 sion which was translated into “Sion” in Romans 11:26-32 1Peter 2:4-10 and Hebrews 12:18-24 “For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest” “and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more” “for they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart” “and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake” “but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” “to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” “and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel”. English “church” in Hebrews 12:23 and throughout the King James Bible were translated from Greek feminine noun 1577 ekklesia from a compound of Greek preposition 1537 ek denoting the origin from whence action came and Greek verb 2564 kaleo which is the verb form of Greek adjective 2822 kletos which was translated into “called” in Matthew 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen” where English “chosen” was translated from Greek adjective 1588 eklektos which was translated 7 times into English “chosen” and 16 times into “elect”. Greek feminine noun 1589 ekloge is the noun form of Greek adjective 1588 eklektos which was translated 7 times into English “chosen” and 16 times into “elect”. Greek feminine noun 1589 ekloge was translated into “election” in Romans 9:10-28 Romans 11:4-7 and 11:26-32 1Thesallonians 1:2-5 and 2Peter 1:1–11. God’s “seven thousand” “election” are God’s “elect” “chosen” “saints” and the “firstborn” emboldened in Hebrews 12:23 in this paragraph. God created God’s own church consisting of “seven thousand” “election” who are not of the “world” but are citizens of heavenly Jerusalem and will come out of Sion “called, and chosen, and faithful” of Revelation 17:14 “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” God’s “seven thousand” “election” are Jesus’ “many brethren” of Romans 8:29 and “the sons of God” of John 1:12 Romans 8:14 Romans 8:19 Philippians 2:15 and 1John 3:1-3. The truth regarding God’s “seven thousand” “election” recur again and again in my posts because the King James Bible is written to and about them again and again.
English “rock” emboldened in Romans 9:33 was translated from Greek feminine noun 4073 petra which was translated into “Rock” in 1Corinthians 10:4 “and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” Into “rock” in 1Peter 2:8 “and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” And into “rock” in Matthew 7:24-27 “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock” “and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock” “And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand” “and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.” God joined “seven thousand” “election” “and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” God “appointed” “the rest” unto “a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” God’s Greek words say the same thing over and over again and God told us how to understand them. We will have no excuse.
English “a stumblingstone” emboldened in Romans 9:33 was translated from Greek masculine noun 3037 lithos being a stone. 1Peter 2:4-10 explains the stones rocks and stumbling stones of Romans 9:32 and 33 “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious” “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ” “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded” “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner” “And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed” “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” “Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy”.
English “offence” emboldened in Romans 9:33 was translated from Greek neuter noun 4625 skandalon which was translated into “an occasion to fall” in Romans 14:10-13 “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ” “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God” “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God” “Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way”.
English “on” emboldened in Romans 9:33 was mistranslated from Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition. Again “seven thousand” “election” will superimpose what they learned from the spirit of God during this earth age unto “the rest” during the “thousand years” “Lord’s day” which shall occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.
God would have detracted from the ninth chapter of Romans by correcting all of the mistranslated English words therein. Many Greek words in the ninth chapter of Romans connect to other bible verses and reveal God’s spiritual truths. God is going to reveal those truths in an addendum that will be posted after the 9th chapter of Romans.
What Does The Bible Really Say?
