“Back in ships to Egypt” in Deut. 28 Other than the initial vowel point, both Hebrew words are identical (H591 = אֳנִיָּה = ship) and (H592 = אֲנִיָּה = mourning), although it would seem odd, since the latter word otherwise only appears twice in the Hebrew Bible as part of the expression "lamenting and mourning" (Is 29:2 & Lam 2:5). If it is H592 then one fulfillment would be Josephus Wars of the Jews, Bk 6, Ch. 8 §384: the Romans find the Jews are worth little to nothing as slaves, and the young males were deported to Egypt to work as slaves in the Egyptian mines (Ch. 9 §418). There is no mention of "ships" of course. |

How did Judas die? Points by @Soldarnal are persuasive. Please also consider that if Judas were an obese man at more than 200 lbs., and his "long drop" hanging were more than 5 feet, then he would have decapitated himself. His obese body, falling "headlong" (or top-down), would burst open upon hitting the ground. Please click here for an historical discussion of this eventuality in capital punishment. |

A word for the fallacy of assuming whatever brings God the most glory is the correct interpretation a text? @Leaper - The all-encompassing means of manifesting the glory of God is the redemption of man according to Covenant Theology. Thus the eschatalogical restoration of Israel in the millennium, or even God's future plan for the angels have no place in the glorification of God, since the redemption of man is the exclusive unifying purpose of God under the Covenant of Grace. Cf, Dispensationalism, p.108. |

Romans 8:11 - present or future? The verse in direct parallel here is 2 Cor 4:7. That is, the general context of 2 Cor 4:7-18 indicates that the power from God's spirit is an experiential reality within the "jars of clay" of the (unglorified) body at the present time. So, yes, the experience is both present and, of course, future when the body is also resurrected. |

How should רָגַז be translated in Psalm 4? The verb is not the "hot head" version of anger but the reactionary version, which is normal and typical of someone with a value system. Please see the commentary for the nuance of this Hebrew verb here. So essentially the various translations are appropriate, if you understand the nuance of this verb. |
