‘Everlasting Reproach’ is a unique Hebrew word
00:00:00.420 | And it's a blessing working on commentary or in class.
00:00:06.400 | Sometimes you have to talk about a serious, very somber doctrine like hell.
00:00:11.680 | And it's in the Scriptures and it's even lexically there, by the Word.
00:00:17.560 | And a good example of that is in Isaiah 66, it talks about the worm will never be, fire
00:00:23.920 | will never be questioned, worm will never be satisfied, and they will endure everlasting
00:00:28.280 | reproach, well that word often translated reproach or derision or however you'd like to translate
00:00:35.560 | it is a very unique Hebrew word and it's only found elsewhere in Daniel 12:2 which also talks
00:00:42.640 | about there will be a resurrection for those unto eternal life and another resurrection
00:00:47.000 | for those under everlasting reproach, same word.
00:00:50.620 | And we wanted to make sure that those were translated the same way and the students seeing, "Oh, it's
00:00:56.560 | consistently translated, oh, it's the same word."
00:01:00.080 | They start to realize as weighty as this doctrine is and as real as it is, it's not just something
00:01:09.040 | made up by scholars later or people who want to guilt people into salvation.
00:01:13.960 | This was consciously developed and expounded upon by the writers of Scripture from Old Testament
00:01:20.100 | to New Testament.
00:01:21.300 | And just consistency like that, that's very, very helpful.
00:01:24.560 | Thank you.
