Daniel 12:13 — Pero ve hasta el final be - Ver Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9. El significado es que nada más se comunicaría y que debe esperar las revelaciones de tiempos futuros. Cuando eso ocurra, lo que aquí se llama "el fin", él lo entendería más completa y perfectamente. El lenguaje implica, también, que

Daniel 3 overview — alleged, they were far from having this character, and it is not probable, therefore, that Nebuchadnezzar would make a law which would compel the worship of an idol under severe pains and penalties.To this objection the following reply may be made:(1) Little is known, on any supposition, of the Chaldeans in general, and little of the character of Nebuchadnezzar in particular, beyond what we find in the book of Daniel. So far, however, as we have any knowledge of either from any source, there is

Daniel 3 overview — información sobre ellos, se alega que estaban lejos de tener este carácter, y no es probable, por lo tanto, que Nabucodonosor haga una ley que obligue a adorar a un ídolo bajo fuertes dolores y sanciones A esta objeción se puede hacer la siguiente respuesta: (1) Poco se sabe, bajo cualquier supuesto, de los caldeos en general, y poco del carácter de Nabucodonosor en particular, más allá de lo que encontramos en el libro de Daniel. Hasta ahora, sin embargo, dado que tenemos conocimiento de cualquiera de las

Micah 4:3 — mighty nation is left upon earth, which does not profess the Name of Christ.He shall rebuke them - For it was an office of the Holy Ghost “to reprove the world as to its sin, the righteousness of Christ, the judgment of the prince of this world” John 16:8-11. The Gospel conquered the world, not by compromises or concordants, but by convicting it. It alone could “rebuke” with power; for it was, like its Author, all-holy. It could rebuke with efficacy; for it was the word of Him who knew what is in

1 Corinthians 13:5 — Doth not behave itself unseemly - (οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ ouk aschēmonei). This word occurs in 1 Corinthians 7:36. See the note on that verse. It means to conduct improperly, or disgracefully, or in a manner to deserve reproach. Love seeks that which is proper or becoming in the circumstances and relations of life in which we are placed. It prompts

1 Corinthians 13:5 — No se comporta indecorosamente - (οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ ouk aschēmonei). Esta palabra aparece en 1 Corintios 7:36. Ver la nota en ese versículo. Significa comportarse de manera inapropiada, vergonzosa o de una manera que merezca reproche. El amor busca lo que es apropiado o devenir en las circunstancias y relaciones de la vida en que estamos ubicados.

Galatians 2:2 — express command of God. He did not go up to receive instructions from the apostles there in regard to his own work, or to be confirmed by them in his apostolic office, but he went to submit an important question pertaining to the church at large. In Acts 15:2, it is said that Paul and Barnabas went up by the appointment of the church at Antioch. But there is no discrepancy between that account and this, for though he was designated by the church there, there is no improbability in supposing that he was

Ephesians 2:22 — it, but you constitute a part of the building.For an habitation of God - For the indwelling, or the dwelling-place, of God. Formerly he dwelt in the temple. Now he dwells in the church, and in the hearts of his people; see the notes at 2 Corinthians 6:16.Remarks On Ephesians 2:01. We were by nature dead in sin; Ephesians 2:1. We had no spiritual life. We were insensible to the calls of God, to the beauty of religion, to the claims of the Creator. We were like corpses in the tomb in reference to the

Hebrews 4:12 — “mouth” was given to the sword because it seemed to “devour” all before it. It consumed or destroyed as a wild beast does. The comparison of the Word of God to a sword or to an arrow, is designed to show its power of penetrating the heart; Ecclesiastes 12:11, “The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies;” compare Isaiah 49:2. “And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword;” Revelation 1:16, “And out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword;” Revelation 2:12,

Hebrews 4:12 — dio a la espada porque parecía "devorar" todo lo anterior. Se consume o destruye como lo hace una bestia salvaje. La comparación de la Palabra de Dios con una espada o una flecha está diseñada para mostrar su poder de penetrar el corazón; Eclesiastés 12:11, "Las palabras de los sabios son como aguijones y clavos clavados por los maestros de las asambleas"; compare Isaías 49:2. "Y ha hecho mi boca como una espada afilada". Apocalipsis 1:16, "Y de su boca salió una espada afilada de dos filos;" Apocalipsis

Hebrews 6:20 — place - heaven.The forerunner - The word used here occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. A “forerunner” - πρόδρομος prodromos - is one who goes before others to prepare the way. The word is applied to light troops sent forward as scouts; Diod. Sic. 17, 17; compare “Wisdom of Solomon” (apoc) 12:8. “Thou didst send wasps, forerunners of thy host, to destroy them by little and little.” The meaning here is, that Jesus went first into the heavenly sanctuary. He led the way. He has gone there on our account,

Revelation 10:11 — evidently used in the large sense of making known divine truth in general; not in the comparatively narrow and limited sense in which it is commonly used, as referring merely to the foretelling of future events. See the word explained in the Romans 12:6 note; 1 Corinthians 14:1 note. The meaning is, that, as a consequence of becoming possessed of the little volume and its contents, he would be called to proclaim divine truth, or to make the message of God known to mankind. The direct address is

Revelation 10:11 — sentido amplio de dar a conocer la verdad divina en general; no en el sentido comparativamente limitado y limitado en el que se usa comúnmente, ya que se refiere simplemente a la predicción de eventos futuros. Vea la palabra explicada en la nota Romanos 12:6; 1 Corintios 14:1 nota. El significado es que, como consecuencia de la posesión del pequeño volumen y sus contenidos, sería llamado a proclamar la verdad divina, o para dar a conocer a la humanidad el mensaje de Dios. La dirección directa es para

Revelation 17:11 — And the beast that was, and is not - That is, the one power that was formerly mighty; that died away so that it might be said to be extinct; and yet Revelation 17:8 that “still is,” or has a prolonged existence. It is evident that, by the “beast” here, there is some one power, dominion, empire, or rule, whose essential identity is preserved through all these changes, and to which it is proper to give the same

Revelation 17:11 — y la bestia que fue, y no es - es decir, el único poder que antes era poderoso; que se apartó para que se pueda decir que se extinga; Y, sin embargo, Apocalipsis 17:8 que "aún es", o tiene una existencia prolongada. Es evidente que, por la "Bestia" aquí, hay un solo poder, dominio, imperio o gobierno, cuya identidad esencial se conserva a través de todos estos cambios, y a los que es apropiado dar el mismo nombre.

Revelation 2:7 — let him hear ... - This expression occurs at the close of each of the epistles addressed to the seven churches, and is substantially a mode of address often employed by the Saviour in his personal ministry, and quite characteristic of him. See Matthew 11:15; Mark 4:23; Mark 7:16. It is a form of expression designed to arrest the attention, and to denote that what was said was of special importance.What the Spirit saith unto the churches - Evidently what the Holy Spirit says - for he is regarded in

Revelation 4:6 — correctamente "una cosa viva"; Y, por lo tanto, se aplica de hecho a los animales, o a la creación viva, pero la noción de ser vivos, o criaturas vivientes, debe conservarse en la traducción. El Prof. Stuart lo hace, "Criaturas vivientes". Isaías Isaías 6:1-13, en su visión de Yahvé, vio a dos serafines; Ezequiel, a quien John más se parece a su descripción, vio cuatro "criaturas vivientes" - חיות span> chayowt Ezequiel 1:5 - es decir, vivir, animarse, en movimiento los seres. Las palabras "seres vivos"

Revelation 6:4 — is clear, not only from the nature of the emblem, but from the explanation immediately added: “And power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another.” On the color, compare Bochart, Hieroz. P. 1, lib. 2, c. 7: p. 104. See also Zechariah 1:8. There is no possibility of mistaking this, that a time of slaughter is denoted by this emblem.(c) The power given to him that sat on the horse: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace
