James1:9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
English “Let” “rejoice” emboldened in James 1:9 was translated from Greek verb 2744 kauchaomai which subjectively means to glory in the sense of boasting like a braggart and objectively means to be glorified and boasted about. Glorifying one’s own self or one’s own social network is bad. Being glorified by God is good.
English “of low degree” emboldened in James 1:9 was translated from Greek adjective 5011 tapeinos which God best defines in the context of English “lowly” in Matthew 11:29 “low degree” in Luke 1:52 and “humble” in James 4:6. God will call out a specific group of “proud” human beings who erroneously profess themselves born again when we get to James 1:17.
English “is exalted” emboldened in James 1:9 was translated from Greek neuter noun 5311 hupsos which is elevation, in the sense of God, during this earth age, spiritually elevating “seven thousand” “election” from earth to “heavenly Jerusalem” while yet in flesh bodies as documented in Hebrews 12:18-29 and received “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:4-6. Greek neuter noun 5311 hupsos was best translated in the context of “on high” in Luke 1:78 Luke 24:49 and Ephesians 4:1-32. While studying Hebrews 12:18-29 please give extra attention to Hebrews 12:19 relative to Deuteronomy 18:16-18 and Romans 11:26-32 in order to understand that God promised the Israelites that he would no longer speak to them directly subsequent to their Mount Sinai fear. Hence God’s “election” will speak in God’s stead during the latter days of this earth age and the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Jesus, in Luke 12:51 said “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division”. The “division” noted in Luke 12:51 involves God removing more than 8 billion human beings from God’s process during this earth age while simultaneously leaving “seven thousand” “election” to himself pursuant to 1Timothy 2:3-6. God is not punishing more than 8 billion human beings during this earth age. God is protecting them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to 1Timothy 2:3-6. God’s aforementioned process is the purpose of this earth age. God will end this earth age when “seven thousand” “election” will have fulfilled the “first commandment” Jesus defined in Matthew 22:34-40 and Mark 12:28-34 by completing transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. Purveyors of global warming have less than nothing to do with God’s process pursuant to God’s will. Purveyors of global warming who believe they are smarter than God during this earth age will “come unto the knowledge of the truth” and acquire some humility during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.
