"The book of Jude says Enoch prophesied not that it is written, and how did his writings survive the flood?"

"This is very insightful. However, it bears pointing out that the commentary at the bottom is not accurate in stating there was not much distinction between the grave and the underworld in OT thought. Not only are “Sheol” and “quever” different words referring to the underworld and the grave respecti..."

"The "statue" may be a robot with AI, given "life" by electricity and the ability to speak. The people of those days would not know about robots and electricity, ofc, so they used the language they had.

"Yet further, "hineh ha'almah" means "here is the young woman". It does not mean "behold the young woman" in the sense intended. Hineh means "here". Otherwise, when God calls Abraham, Abraham, Abe would have answered "behold me", which is nonsense. The answer was "here I am"."
Alan Silverman
"Further to my prior comment, the LXX uses "parthenos" where the Qumran and Masoretic texts for Isaiah 7:14 have "almah". The Hebrew for "virgin" is always "betulah", never "almah". Where "almah" is given, "virgin" is not a correct rendering. Parthenos is not correct, the mistake is in the LXX."
Alan Silverman
"The author wrongly says "ha'almah" is a verb. It is absolutely not a verb, it is a noun. It means "the young woman". "Hineh ha-alma harah means "here is the pregnant young woman". The Greek LXX is badly incorrect, as is proven by the Qumran Isaiah scroll (just as is used in the later Masoretic..."

"(Revelation 2 : 26) :'He that overcometh & keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.'
The verse is propounded nicely in this article.
This is one way of explanation about overcoming _:
The synonymous words for overcome are: to gain victory, to conquer or..."

"The book of Enoch is a part of the Bible. The Bible was edited many times. Books have been taken from the Bible and things have been added. Which is a sin."

"Incredible connect. Good job sharing an article snippet that gets right to the point! After hand connect with genitalia and maleness / memory: Jeremiah 31.31-33 in the Hebrew. Taking them by the hand = circumcision so Torah on the heart = new circumcision."

"2 Chron 35 is referenced, but the actual text is from chapter 36."

"I discussed these texts and many many others in my book The Jewish Targums and John's Logos Theology. Targum Neofiti is also of relevance as it also calls Adam "the son of man." If such usage dates to the first century, it would have given hearers a clue that Jesus calling himself "the Son of man" w..."

"We can compare Nabal with the rich man in the parable which Jesus told in Luke 12:15-21."

"There's a big difference here. The Septuagint definitely thinks it's fixing the original."

"Can these be referenced to the sign of Jonah three days in the belly of the whale and Jesus' three days in the heart of the earth?"

"Maybe they were referring to people that didn’t follow their particular religion? Everyone is a son/daughter of god, neither holy or evil, but live a life without one overcoming the other & find an inner peace of harmonious duality … is that not the reason they both exist in us ... that is what inne..."

"You cite Targum Jer 51:38, but the English text given is not that (I think?), and the link is for a Hebrew-only page for Targum Jer 51:4."

"The elders and the 4 beasts are around the throne of God not in it. The same can be said of the great multitude in chapter 7 of Revelation. Looking at it this way we can get a better idea of who these people are"
