Footnotes
| 273 | Not a typo |
| 274 | Hebrew לְחַיֵּי |
| 275 | Times Strong’s #2320, ha-chodesh. The New One with definite article. Interpreted as “new moon”. Chodesh is from the root chadash meaning to renew or repair (#2318). It is a masculine noun. “now shall the new one [chodesh] eat them with their fields.” Hosea 5:7. There are two additional words for moon, one masculine and one feminine. See note on Genesis 37:9. The year is a mystery all its own. Year is from the word shanah meaning to repeat, do again (#8138) and according to Strong has a concrete primitive definition: to fold, i.e. duplicate. To the Hebrew Scriptures the year progresses from the start to the start. Peter likely played on this provocative riddle, This one however let not be hidden from you, beloved, that one hot-one close beside Master is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as hot-one one. 2 Peter 3:8 literal Paul in 1 Corinthians wrote mia hemera, one hot-one, but Peter here wrote the opposite hemera mia, hot-one one. |
| 276 | Jesus makes interesting remarks about the scene just before the Flow and likens “the days” to the “presence of the son of man”. “For just as the days of the Rest [Noah], so will be the presence of the builder of the man. For as they were in the days those ones in-front of the deluge eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until which hot-one Rest went in into the wooden box, and they did not know until the flood came and lifted-up the whole. Thus will be the presence of the builder of the man.” Matt. 24:37-39 literal This saying strangely parallels the story of Jesus walking on water in a storm, unrecognized. As far the Hebrew date goes, notice how it is also Rest’s age: 600 duplications, 2 months, and 17 days. |
| 277 | Strong’s #4599, mayan. Eye-place, eye-source, eye-spring. The root word is eye, ayin #5869 in the typical locative/place-name construct. Here and in Gen. 8:2 it is in the feminine plural מַעְיְנֹ֣ת. The masculine plural is מַעְיָנִים (Ps. 104:10). |
| 278 | Abundant uproar[deep]. The Hebrew behind abundant, here in the feminine (#7227, rabbah) is not insignificant. See table at Genesis 7:22. |
| 279 | Strong’s #1234, baqa. To cleave, split. The eye-springs are split into two, not the uproar. |
| 280 | Strong’s #699, arubbah. a lattice, network, window. Ambushes of Heaven The word is a feminine passive participle of arab #693, which means to lie in wait for an ambush. If the Dual-Heavens is/are comprised of an army (Genesis 2:1) we could deduce that something in the Dual-Heavens lies in wait for an ambush. Compare this phrase with Isa. 24:18, “…and the One-who-ascends from the middle of the Pit, he is being captured in the bird-trap for the ambushes from the high-places have been opened.” The “smoke” of Hosea 13 has been the assumed context for a lattice-chiminey interpretation, “and as the smoke out of the ambush [arrubah].” Consider the word Dual-Heavens as a code word for representative power of the “high-places”, or the “powers of the air” (Eph. 2:2). Many powers claim Heaven for themselves, and violently at that, and mandate that all follow their way as the only way. Recall that the kingdom of the Heavens is something taken by violence (Matt. 11:12). Additionally, in Micah 3:10 we find the opening of ambushes in a positive context of blessing being poured out. Perhaps the “lattices” of the Dual-Heavens have two surprises lying in wait. |
