Yeshua, Our Redeemer- Mediator

I Timothy 2:5 :  For  there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man   Christ Jesus. Acts 4:12 :   And there is  salvation  in no one else, for  there is no other  name under heaven given among men [ a ]  by which we must be saved.” Acts 16:31 : And they said,  “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you  and your household.” Of these, I think the ESV is not as accurate as it could be.   It makes it sound as if someone must believe in a set of facts & rely on Yeshua directly, as in intellectually assent to who He is & His person & work at one’s personal Vox Kephale in order to be justified.   The preposition  ἐπί in the text governs the accusative case object “the Lord Jesus,” & is, in my opinion, better translated as “on” rather than “in.” Yeshua is the Redeemer-Mediator of the whole of the LORD’s covenant system.   Rather than point us to a body of doctrinal ...

(Psalm 5) The Boastful Shall Not Stand Before Your (The LORD’s) Eyes

  To the choirmaster: for the flutes. A Psalm of David. 1  Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. 2  Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray. 3  O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch. 4  For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you. 5  The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers. 6  You destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. 7  But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you. 8  Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. 9  For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue. ...

(Psalm 37) The LORD Laughs At His Enemies

  37  Of David. 1  Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! 2  For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. 3  Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4  Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5  Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. 6  He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. 7  Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! 8  Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. 9  For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. 10  In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he ...

(Psalm 2) Why Do The Nations Rage

  2  Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, 3  “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” 4  He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5  Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 6  “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” 7  I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. 8  Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. 9  You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” 10  Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11  Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12  Kiss the...
