1 From the Zaken (Elder, SHEMOT 3:16). To Gaius HaAhuv (Gaius the beloved), for whom I have ahavah (agape) b’Emes. 2 Chaver, it is my tefillah that all may be hatzlocha (successful) with you, and that you may be shalem b’guf (healthy), just as your nefesh (soul) is matsli’ach (successful). 3 For I had simcha gedola (much joy) when the Achim b’Moshiach arrived [here] and gave eidus (testimony) of you being in HaEmes (the Truth), just as your walk is halakhah b’Derech Emes (conduct in the Way of Truth). 4 I have no greater simcha than this, to hear of my bnei b’Moshiach, that their walk is halakhah b’Derech Emes. 5 Chaver, you do a thing of emunah (faith) when it is done for the Achim b’Moshiach [engaged in the Shlichus (Divine Mission) of Messianic Kiruv Rechokim itineration in the kehillot], especially when they are people you don’t know. 6 They gave eidushaft (witness of testimony) to your ahavah (agape) before the Kehillah (assembly) [here]; you will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of Hashem. 7 For, on behalf of Hashem they went forth [in the Shlichus of Moshiach’s Kiruv Rechokim], taking nothing from the Goyim. 8 Therefore, we ought to give hachnosas orchim (hospitality) to such, in order that we may be ozrim (helpers) with HaEmes. 9 I wrote something to the Kehillah [there]; but Diotrephes, who has fallen in love with being "Rosh of the Kehillah," does not receive us. 10 Oib azoi (consequently), if I come, I will remember his "ma’asim" ("works") which he does, his bringing unjustified charges against us with lashon horah (evil speech). And not being satisfied with performing these "mitzvot", he even refuses to receive the Achim b’Moshiach, and, those intending to do so, he hinders and expels out of the Kehillah. 11 Chaver, do not imitate HaRah (Evil); rather, imitate HaTov (Good). The one doing HaTov is from Hashem. The one doing HaRah has not regarded Hashem. 12 To Demetrius, eidus (witness of testimony, commendation) has been given by all and, personally, by no less than HaEmes (the Truth); we also give eidus, and you have da’as that our eidus is emes. 13 I had many things to write to you, but I do not want to write to you with pen and ink. 14 But I have the tikvah (hope) to see you imminently, and we will speak panim el panim (directly, in person). Drishat Shalom to you. Drishat Shalom from the Chaverim [here]. Drishat Shalom by name to each of the Chaverim [there]. 15 Drishat Shalom to you. Drishat Shalom from the Chaverim [here]. Drishat Shalom by name to each of the Chaverim [there]. T.N. It is possible that the first book of the Brit Chadasha was written by Ya’akov [see p.848], possibly around 45 C.E. However, the iggeret hakodesh on this page is written by Moshiach’s Shliach Yochanan to Gaius with the prayer that as Gaius prospers spiritually, he will succeed in every aspect of his life. It appears that the Shliach Yochanan had led Gaius to faith in the Moshiach (see verse 3-4) and Gaius in turn had shown kindness and hachnosas orchim (hospitality) to certain of Moshiach’s traveling emissaries, who had reported Gaius’ generosity (verse 6) before the Kehillah where the Shliach Yochanan is now, probably the same Kehillah in Asia Minor where Yochanan did much of his other writing: his Besurah Geulah, his other iggrot kodesh, and his Hisgalus. The purpose of the letter is to commend an itinerant emissary of Moshiach named Demetrius (verse 12). When planting a new Messianic Shul, the non-believers are not to be asked for financial support (verse 7). Therefore, the Messianic kehillot and their Zekenim are to offer hachnosas orchim and material help to travelling emissaries of Moshiach such as Demetrius. Also this epistle teaches that when one knows G-d, the Truth gives an inner eidus or testimony (verse 12). Other Scripture on this matter of assurance are found in Ro 8:15-17, 38f; Ga 4:6; Pp 1:6; 2Ti 1:12; Yn 5:24; 1Yn 5:13; 1Yn 4:13; 5:10; 3:18- 19; MJ 6:11; 10:22. As we study the Holy Bible we find that we can discover there (not in emotional experience or in our circumstances) that we are heirs of salvation and children with a heavenly calling, citizenship, and destiny. See also 2Ti 3:14; Col 2:2; 1Th 1:5; Ro 14:5; 4:21; 1Th 2:13; Ac 2:38, 5:32; Ga 3:2; Ac 15:8; 1Yn 3:24; Eph 1:13-14; 4:30. There are other Scriptures that warn against self-deception in these matters, and give moral and spiritual tests so that anyone can see if he or she is walking in the light—see 1Yn 2:3-5; 3:9f; 14, 18f, 4:7; 5:1, 4, 18; 1 Yn 3:19; 1 Yn 1:6; 2:4, 9- 11, 23: 3:6-10, 4:8,20; 2Yn 9; 3Yn 11.

SUNDAY DECEPTION
SUNDAY DECEPTION
Vatican admits the change of Sabbath was their act not the Bible
Samuel Owusu by Samuel Owusu
Rome’s biggest challenge
“Prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the Catholic Church alone. The Catholic Church says, by my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the Holy Catholic Church” (Thomas Enright, CSSR, President, Redemptorist College [Roman Catholic], Kansas City, MO, Feb. 18, 1884).
There can be no doubt that Christ, His disciples, and the first-century Christians kept Saturday, the seventh-day Sabbath. Yet, today, most of the Christian professing world keeps Sunday, the first day of the week, calling it the Sabbath. Who made this change, and how did it occur?
No serious student of the Scriptures can deny that God instituted the Sabbath at creation and designated the seventh day to be kept holy. “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made” (Genesis 2:2–3). It was later codified as the Fourth Commandment (Exodus 20:8–11).
The Word of God makes it expressly clear that Sabbath observance is a special sign or “mark” between God and His people. There is also no uncertainty that Christ, His disciples, and the first-century Christians kept the seventh-day Sabbath as commanded—the day we now call “Saturday” (Mark 2:28; Luke 4:16).
Is There Any Biblical Support for Sunday Observance?
There is absolutely no New Testament text stating that God, Jesus, or the apostles changed the Sabbath to Sunday—not a text, not a word, not even a hint or suggestion. If there were, those chapters and verses would be loudly heralded by Sabbath opposers. Had Paul or any other apostle taught a change from Sabbath to Sunday, the first day of the week, an absolute firestorm of protest would have arisen from conservative Jewish Christians. The Pharisees and scribes would have insisted that Paul or any other person even suggesting such a thing be stoned to death for the sin of Sabbath-breaking. This would have been a much larger issue than the controversy over circumcision!
The self-righteous Pharisees had already falsely accused Christ of breaking the Sabbath because He violated the added man-made rules and traditions they placed upon the Sabbath (Mark 2:24). The total absence of any such controversy over a change in the day of worship is one of the best evidences showing the apostles and other New Testament Christians did notchange the day. On the contrary, we have a record of many Sabbaths that Paul and his traveling companions kept long after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Read of them in your own Bible in Acts 13:14, 27, 42–44; 15:21; 16:13; 17:2; and 18:4. Acts 13:42–44 is especially significant in that Paul and Barnabas, when speaking at a Jewish synagogue, were invited to speak again the nextSabbath. This would have been Paul’s golden opportunity to tell the people to meet with him the next day rather than waiting a whole week for the Sabbath. But, “on the next Sabbath almost the whole city [Jews and Gentiles alike] gathered to hear the word of the Lord.”
Yet today, most of the Christian professing world keeps Sunday, the first day of the week, calling it the Sabbath. The question arises then, who changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and how did it occur? The answer may amaze you!
Biblical Testimony
The New Testament plainly shows we are to continue keeping the commandments (Mathew 5:17–18; 19:17; 28:20)—all ten of them. Where, then, do men get the “authority” to change the Fourth Commandment by substituting Sunday for the original Sabbath Christ and the apostles kept?
The Bible prophesied many centuries earlier that the time would come when men would think to change times and laws (Daniel 7:25). Many Bible prophecies are “dual” in nature—that is, they have a type and antitype, an earlier and a later fulfillment. Though speaking specifically of the soon-coming antichrist, we can see the forerunner type documented in history.
The Watering Down of the Sabbath in the First 300 Years
The Christians during the apostolic era, from about 35 to 100 A.D., kept Sabbath on the designated seventh day of the week. For the first 300 years of Christian history, when the Roman emperors regarded themselves as gods, Christianity became an “illegal religion,” and God’s people were scattered abroad (Acts 8:1). Judaism, however, was regarded at that time as “legal,” as long as they obeyed Roman laws. Thus, during the apostolic era, Christians found it convenient to let the Roman authorities think of them as Jews, which gained them legitimacy with the Roman government. However, when the Jews rebelled against Rome, the Romans put down their rebellion by destroying Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and again in A.D. 135. Obviously, the Roman government’s suppression of the Jews made it increasingly uncomfortable for Christians to be thought of as Jewish. At that time, Sunday was the rest day of the Roman Empire, whose religion was Mithraism, a form of sun worship. Since Sabbath observance is visible to others, some Christians in the early second century sought to distance themselves from Judaism by observing a different day, thus “blending in” to the society around them.
During the Empire-wide Christian persecutions under Nero, Maximin, Diocletian, and Galerius, Sabbath-keeping Christians were hunted down, tortured, and, for sport, often used for entertainment in the Colisseum.
Constantine Made Sunday a Civil Rest Day
When Emperor Constantine I—a pagan sun-worshipper—came to power in A.D. 313, he legalized Christianity and made the first Sunday-keeping law. His infamous Sunday enforcement law of March 7, A.D. 321, reads as follows: “On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.” (Codex Justinianus 3.12.3, trans. Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, 5th ed. (New York, 1902), 3:380, note 1.)
The Sunday law was officially confirmed by the Roman Papacy. The Council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 decreed, “Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ” (Strand, op. cit., citing Charles J. Hefele, A History of the Councils of the Church, 2 [Edinburgh, 1876] 316).
Cardinal Gibbons, in Faith of Our Fathers, 92nd ed., p. 89, freely admits, “You may read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single line authorizing the sanctification of Sunday. The Scriptures enforce the religious observance of Saturday, a day which we [the Catholic Church] never sanctify.”
Again, “The Catholic Church, … by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday” (The Catholic Mirror, official publication of James Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893).
“Protestants do not realize that by observing Sunday, they accept the authority of the spokesperson of the Church, the Pope” (Our Sunday Visitor, February 5, 1950).
“Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change [Saturday Sabbath to Sunday] was her act… And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things” (H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons).
“Sunday is our mark of authority… the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact” (Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1, 1923).
What a shocking admission!
A Prophecy Come to Pass!
At this point we need to note an amazing prophecy. Daniel 7:25 foretold, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws.” Quoting Daniel 7:25, Adam Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible says:
“He shall speak great words against the Most High] Literally, Sermones quasi Deus loquetur; “He shall speak as if he were God.” So Jerome quotes from Symmachus. To none can this apply so well or so fully as to the popes of Rome. They have assumed infallibility, which belongs only to God. They profess to forgive sins, which belongs only to God. They profess to open and shut heaven, which belongs only to God. They profess to be higher than all the kings of the earth, which belongs only to God. And they go beyond God in pretending to loose whole nations from their oath of allegiance to their kings, when such kings do not please them! And they go against God when they give indulgences for sin. This is the worst of all blasphemies!
And shall wear out the saints] By wars, crusades, massacres, inquisitions, and persecutions of all kinds. What in this way have they not done against all those who have protested against their innovations, and refused to submit to their idolatrous worship? Witness the exterminating crusades published against the Waldenses and Albigenses. Witness John Huss, and Jerome of Prague. Witness the Smithfield fires in England! Witness God and man against this bloody, persecuting, ruthless, and impure Church!
And think to change times and laws] Appointing fasts and feasts; canonizing persons whom he chooses to call saints; granting pardons and indulgences for sins; instituting new modes of worship utterly unknown to the Christian Church; new articles of faith; new rules of practice; and reversing, with pleasure, the laws both of God and man.–Dodd” (Emphasis his; Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible, Volume IV, p. 594).
Who Changed the Sabbath to Sunday?
Your Bible says, “But in vain [uselessness] they do worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” (Matthew 15:9; Mark 7:7).
Further, “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word [the Bible], it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20).
“Prove to me from the Bible alone that I am bound to keep Sunday holy. There is no such law in the Bible. It is a law of the Catholic Church alone. The Catholic Church says, by my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And lo! The entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the Holy Catholic Church” (Thomas Enright, CSSR, President, Redemptorist College [Roman Catholic], Kansas City, MO, Feb. 18, 1884).
“The Pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. The Pope has authority and has often exercised it, to dispense with the command of Christ” (Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop).
The pope has changed the day of rest from the seventh to the first day.He has thought to change the very commandment that was given to cause man to remember his Creator.He has thought to change the greatest commandment in the Decalogue and thus make himself equal with God, or even exalt himself above God. The Lord is unchangeable, therefore His law is immutable; but the pope has exalted himself above God, in seeking to change His immutable precepts of holiness, justice, and goodness. He has trampled underfoot God’s sanctified day, and, on his own authority, put in its place one of the six laboring days. The whole nation has followed after the beast, and every week they rob God of His holy time. The pope has made a breach in the holy law of God, but I saw that the time had fully come for this breach to be made up by the people of God and the waste places built up.EW 65.1
I pleaded before the angel for God to save His people who had gone astray, to save them for His mercy’s sake. When the plagues begin to fall, those who continue to break the holy Sabbath will not open their mouths to plead those excuses that they now make to get rid of keeping it. Their mouths will be closed while the plagues are falling, and the great Lawgiver is requiring justice of those who have had His holy law in derision and have called it “a curse to man,” “miserable,” and “rickety.” When such feel the iron grasp of this law taking hold of them, these expressions will appear before them in living characters, and they will then realize the sin of having that law in derision which the Word of God calls “holy, just, and good.” EW 65.2
God is calling His people out of this erroneous organisation before her(Babylon, thus Vatican) complete fall as prophesied in revelation 18. “Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 18:5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” “2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” Jeremiah 51:45 My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
The Consequences for not Heeding God’s Last warning
Those who had not prized God’s Word were hurrying to and fro, wandering from sea to sea, and from the north to the east, to seek the Word of the Lord. Said the angel, “They shall not find it. There is a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord. What would they not give for one word of approval from God! but no, they must hunger and thirst on. Day after day have they slighted salvation, prizing earthly riches and earthly pleasure higher than any heavenly treasure or inducement. They have rejected Jesus and despised His saints. The filthy must remain filthy forever.” EW 281.2
Many of the wicked were greatly enraged as they suffered the effects of the plagues. It was a scene of fearful agony. Parents were bitterly reproaching their children, and children their parents, brothers their sisters, and sisters their brothers.Loud, wailing cries were heard in every direction, “It was you who kept me from receiving the truth which would have saved me from this awful hour.” The people turned upon their ministers with bitter hate and reproached them, saying, “You have not warned us. You told us that all the world was to be converted, and cried, Peace, peace, to quiet every fear that was aroused. You have not told us of this hour; and those who warned us of it you declared to be fanatics and evil men, who would ruin us.” But I saw that the ministers did not escape the wrath of God.Their suffering was tenfold greater than that of their people. EW 282.1
Would you heed God’s call and come out of Babylon or reject and share Babylon’s fate(the seven last plagues and perdition) ?? Would you choose eternal life? The choice is in your hands.

Sejarah kata "TUHAN" berdasarkan Sejarah Ilmu Bahasa dan Budaya Melayu atau Indonesia
SuntingPantau halaman iniBaca dalam bahasa lain
Tuhan
Sesuatu yang diyakini, dipuja, dan disembah oleh manusia sebagai yang Mahakuasa, Mahaperkasa, dsb.
Tuhan dipahami sebagai Roh Mahakuasa dan asas dari suatu kepercayaan.[1] Tidak ada kesepakatan bersama mengenai konsep ketuhanan, sehingga ada berbagai konsep ketuhanan meliputi teisme, deisme, panteisme, dan lain-lain. Dalam pandangan teisme, Tuhan merupakan pencipta sekaligus pengatur segala kejadian di alam semesta. Menurut deisme, Tuhan merupakan pencipta alam semesta, namun tidak ikut campur dalam kejadian di alam semesta. Menurut panteisme, Tuhan merupakan alam semesta itu sendiri. Para cendekiawan menganggap berbagai sifat-sifat Tuhan berasal dari konsep ketuhanan yang berbeda-beda. Yang paling umum, di antaranya adalah Mahatahu (mengetahui segalanya), Mahakuasa (memiliki kekuasaan tak terbatas), Mahaada (hadir di mana pun), Mahamulia (mengandung segala sifat-sifat baik yang sempurna), tak ada yang setara dengan-Nya, serta bersifat kekal abadi. Penganut monoteisme percaya bahwa Tuhan hanya ada satu, serta tidak berwujud (tanpa materi), memiliki pribadi, sumber segala kewajiban moral, dan "hal terbesar yang dapat direnungkan".[1] Banyak filsuf abad pertengahan dan modern terkemuka yang mengembangkan argumen untuk mendukung dan membantah keberadaan Tuhan.[2]
Ada banyak nama untuk menyebut Tuhan, dan nama yang berbeda-beda melekat pada gagasan kultural tentang sosok Tuhan dan sifat-sifat apa yang dimilikinya. Atenisme pada zaman Mesir Kuno, kemungkinan besar merupakan agama monoteistis tertua yang pernah tercatat dalam sejarah yang mengajarkan Tuhan sejati dan pencipta alam semesta,[3]yang disebut Aten.[4] Kalimat "Aku adalah Aku" dalam Alkitab Ibrani, dan "Tetragrammaton" YHVH digunakan sebagai nama Tuhan, sedangkan Yahweh, dan Yehuwa kadangkala digunakan dalam agama Kristensebagai hasil vokalisasi dari YHVH. Dalam bahasa Arab, nama Allahdigunakan, dan karena predominansi Islam di antara para penutur bahasa Arab, maka nama Allah memiliki konotasi dengan kepercayaan dan kebudayaan Islam. Umat muslimmengenal 99 nama suci bagi Allah, sedangkan umat Yahudi biasanya menyebut Tuhan dengan gelar Elohimatau Adonai (nama yang kedua dipercaya oleh sejumlah pakar berasal dari bahasa Mesir Kuno, Aten).[5][6][7][8][9] Dalam agama Hindu, Brahman biasanya dianggap sebagai Tuhan monistis.[10] Agama-agama lainnya memiliki panggilan untuk Tuhan, di antaranya: Baha dalam agama Baha'i,[11] Waheguru dalam Sikhisme,[12] dan Ahura Mazda dalam Zoroastrianisme.[13]
Banyaknya konsep tentang Tuhan dan pertentangan satu sama lain dalam hal sifat, maksud, dan tindakan Tuhan, telah mengarah pada munculnya pemikiran-pemikiran seperti omniteisme, pandeisme,[14][15] atau filsafat Perennial, yang menganggap adanya satu kebenaran teologis yang mendasari segalanya, yang diamati oleh berbagai agama dalam sudut pandang yang berbeda-beda, maka sesungguhnya agama-agama di dunia menyembah satu Tuhan yang sama, namun melalui konsep dan pencitraan mental yang berbeda-beda mengenai-Nya.[16]
Etimologi dan terminologiSunting
Kata Tuhan dalam bahasa Melayu kini berasal dari kata tuan. Buku pertama yang memberi keterangan tentang hubungan kata tuan dan Tuhan adalah Ensiklopedi Populer Gereja oleh Adolf Heuken SJ (1976). Menurut buku tersebut, arti kata Tuhan ada hubungannya dengan kata Melayu tuan yang berarti atasan/penguasa/pemilik.[17] Kata "tuan" ditujukan kepada manusia, atau hal-hal lain yang memiliki sifat menguasai, memiliki, atau memelihara. Digunakan pula untuk menyebut seseorang yang memiliki derajat yang lebih tinggi, atau seseorang yang dihormati. Penggunaannya lumrah digunakan bersama-sama dengan disertakan dengan kata lain mengikuti kata "tuan" itu sendiri, dimisalkan pada kata "tuan rumah" atau "tuan tanah" dan lain sebagainya. Kata ini biasanya digunakan dalam konteks selain keagamaan yang bersifat ketuhanan.[18]
Ahli bahasa Remy Sylado menemukan bahwa perubahan kata "tuan" yang bersifat insani, menjadi "Tuhan" yang bersifat ilahi, bermula dari terjemahanAlkitab ke dalam bahasa Melayu karya Melchior Leijdecker yang terbit pada tahun 1733.[19][20] Dalam terjemahan sebelumnya, yaitu kitab suci Nasrani bahasa Melayu beraksara Latin terjemahan Brouwerius yang muncul pada tahun 1668, kata yang dalam bahasa Yunaninya, Kyrios, dan sebutan yang diperuntukkan bagi Isa Almasih ini diterjemahkannya menjadi "tuan". Kata yang diterjemahkan oleh Brouwerius sebagai "Tuan"—sama dengan bahasa Portugis Senhor, Perancis Seigneur, Inggris Lord, Belanda Heere—melalui Leijdecker berubah menjadi "Tuhan" dan kemudian, penerjemah Alkitab bahasa Melayu melanjutkan penemuan Leijdecker tersebut. Kini kata Tuhan yang awalnya ditemukan oleh Leijdecker untuk mewakili dua pengertian pelik insani dan ilahi dalam teologi Kristen atas sosok Isa Almasih akhirnya menjadi lema khas dalam bahasa Indonesia.[19] Di dalam AlkitabTerjemahan Baru (1974), kata Tuhan (dan keluarga katanya, mis. Tuhanku) disebutkan sebanyak 7677 kali dalam 6510 ayat di seluruh protokanonikaPerjanjian Lama (Ibrani) dan Perjanjian Baru (Yunani).[21] Kata ini paling sering digunakan untuk menerjemahkan kata Kurios (Yunani) dan Adonai (Ibrani). Selain itu, khusus untuk menerjemahkan Tetragrammaton YHWH, penerjemah TB dalam edisi cetak menggunakan huruf kapital (smallcaps) Tuhan, mengikuti tradisi terjemahan yang sudah ada[22], misalnya dalam Kejadian 2:4, "Demikianlah riwayat langit dan bumi pada waktu diciptakan. Ketika TuhanAllah (YHWH Elohim) menjadikan bumi dan langit, --".[23] (Namun untuk menulis "Adonai YHWH" digunakan "Tuhan Allah", misalnya dalam Yesaya 61:1, "Roh Tuhan ALLAH ada padaku, oleh karena TUHAN telah mengurapi aku; Ia telah mengutus aku untuk menyampaikan kabar baik kepada orang-orang sengsara, dan merawat orang-orang yang remuk hati, untuk memberitakan pembebasan kepada orang-orang tawanan, dan kepada orang-orang yang terkurung kelepasan dari penjara,")
Dalam bahasa Indonesia modern, kata "Tuhan" pada umumnya dipakai untuk merujuk kepada suatu Dzat abadi dan supernatural. Dalam konteks rumpun agama samawi, kata Tuhan (dengan huruf T besar) hampir selalu mengacu pada Allah, yang diyakini sebagai Dzat yang Maha sempurna, pemilik langit dan bumi yang disembah manusia. Dalam bahasa Arab kata ini sepadan dengan kata rabb. Menurut Ibnu Atsir, Tuhan dan tuan secara bahasa diartikan pemilik, penguasa, pengatur, pembina, pengurus dan pemberi nikmat.[24] Kata Tuhan disebutkan lebih dari 1.000 kali dalam Al-Qur'an,[25]. Dalam monoteisme, biasanya dikatakan bahwa Tuhan mengawasi dan memerintah manusiadan alam semesta atau jagat raya. Hal ini bisa juga digunakan untuk merujuk kepada beberapa konsep-konsep yang mirip dengan ini, misalnya sebuah bentuk energi atau kesadaran yang merasuki seluruh alam semesta, yang keberadaan-Nya membuat alam semesta ada; sumber segala yang ada; kebajikan yang terbaik dan tertinggi dalam semua makhluk hidup; atau apa pun yang tak bisa dimengerti atau dijelaskan.
Di dalam bahasa Melayu atau bahasa Indonesia, dua konsep atau nama yang berhubungan dengan ketuhanan, yaitu: Tuhan sendiri, dan dewa. Penganut monoteismebiasanya menolak menggunakan kata dewa, karena merujuk kepada entitas-entitas dalam agama politeistis. Meskipun demikian, penggunaan kata dewa pernah digunakan sebelum penggunaan kata Tuhan. Dalam Prasasti Trengganu, prasasti tertua di dalam bahasa Melayu yang ditulis menggunakan huruf Arab (huruf Jawi) menyebut Sang Dewata Mulia Raya. Dewata yang dikenal orang Melayu berasal dari kata devata, sebagai hasil penyebaran agama Hindu-Buddha di Nusantara. Bagaimanapun, pada masa kini, pengertian istilah Tuhan digunakan untuk merujuk Tuhan yang tunggal, sementara dewa dianggap mengandung arti salah satu dari banyak Tuhan sehingga cenderung mengacu kepada politeisme. Selain itu dalam teks terkadang juga digunakan kata "tuhan" dengan huruf kecil (mirip dengan kata "allah" dengan huruf kecil), terutama ketika memperbandingkan antara Tuhan Allah yang esa dengan tuhan (tuan) yang lain, misalnya dalam Ulangan 10:17: "Sebab TUHAN, Allahmulah Allah segala allah dan Tuhan segala tuhan, Allah yang besar, kuat dan dahsyat, yang tidak memandang bulu ataupun menerima suap; " 1 Korintus 8:5, dan Mazmur 136:3

EARLY CHRISTIANITY ERA WINE-JUG WORKSHOP UNEARTHED IN CENTRAL ISRAEL
Relics from a large-scale wine jug workshop that dates back around 1,800 years have been uncovered in modern day 'Gedera' ("גדרה"), in Central Israel.
According to archaeologists the factory dates back to the 3rd century and was active for around 600 years, making vessels for storing wine that were popular export items during the Roman and Byzantine times.

Para uskup di Vatikan menyerukan agar Israel tidak disebut "Negara Orang-Orang Yahudi"
Apa urusanmu Bror Paus,dan Vatikan dasar otak eror, Para uskup menyerukan hukum di mana Israel mengidentifikasi dirinya sebagai negara Yahudi.,suka gue mau menyebut Negara Yahudi ke Israel ke...itu hak kami kenapa kau yang sevot?? Dasar Goyim( kafir tulen).🤣🤣
Majelis Ordinari Katolik Tanah Suci hari ini meminta Israel untuk membatalkan Hukum Negara Nasional, yang disetujui pada 19 Juli dan yang mengakui identitas Yahudi negara tersebut.
Kontroversi normatif, dengan peringkat konstitusional, memberikan hak untuk menentukan nasib sendiri di Israel kepada kolektif Yahudi, di samping mengasingkan bahasa bahasa resmi menjadi satu dengan kategori khusus.
"Kita harus menyebut perhatian pihak berwenang terhadap fakta sederhana: umat kita yang setia, orang Kristen, sesama warga negara kita, Muslim, Druze dan Baha'i, kita semua yang adalah orang Arab, tidak kurang warga negara ini daripada saudara-saudara Yahudi kita."
mendeklarasikan Majelis dalam sebuah pernyataan.
Sekelompok para uskup Tanah Suci menuntut agar Israel berhenti menampilkan diri sebagai "Negara Orang Yahudi" karena "Kristen, Muslim, Druze, Baharian dan Yahudi meminta untuk diperlakukan sebagai warga negara yang setara" di negara itu.
Deklarasi, yang diterbitkan di Vatikan dengan tanda tangan Ordinari Katolik Tanah Suci, menambahkan bahwa kesetaraan ini harus mencakup "pengakuan terhormat identitas sipil (Israel), etnis (Arab Palestina) dan agama (Kristen) kita, serta individu-individu. sebagai komunitas. "
Dengan cara ini, eklesiastik kembali menentang Undang-Undang Negara Nasional yang disetujui oleh Parlemen Israel pada 19 Juli lalu, yang menetapkan identitas Yahudi secara eksklusif kepada negara tersebut.
Pernyataan itu diterbitkan oleh surat kabar Negara Vatikan, L'Osservatore Romano, dan direplikasi oleh agensi Ansa.
"Kita harus meminta perhatian pihak berwenang atas sebuah fakta sederhana: orang-orang yang setia, Kristen, sesama warga, Muslim, Druze dan Bahari, kita semua orang Arab, tidak kurang warga negara ini daripada saudara-saudara Yahudi kita," kata teks itu.
Kontroversi normatif, dengan peringkat konstitusional, memberikan hak untuk menentukan nasib sendiri di Israel hanya untuk kolektif Yahudi, di samping untuk merendahkan bahasa Arab dari bahasa resmi menjadi satu dengan kategori khusus.
Minoritas Arab Israel (20% dari populasi, mereka yang tetap di Israel setelah Perang Arab-Israel pertama, konsekuensi dari pendirian Negara pada tahun 1948, dan keturunan mereka), Druze dan komunitas lain menganggap undang-undang ini diskriminatif. .

PAUL saw third Heaven
WHO IS THE MAN WHOM PAUL THE APOSTLE SAW BEING CAUGHT UP IN THE THIRD HEAVEN : PART 2
THE UNSPEAKABLE THINGS WHICH THE MAN HEARD.
BY BROTHER NKULULEKO ISRAELI SITHOLE.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, let us Now Go deeper in this Issue, what are the unspeakable things which this Man heard, we now who the Man is, and we have perfectly Identified him, and he is not Paul as Many people believes, but he is John the Apostle, so then what are the Unspeakable things which John the Apostle Heard, thats what we want to see now in this study, let me say this, the unspeakable things which John heard in the Third Heaven after he was Caught up in Revelation 4 verse 1 are the prophetic Imageries and Symbols which he was shown, now the book of Revelation is Broken down into Three sections, the first Section gives us the vision of the Christ, the second section gives us the Condition of the Seven church ages, and the Third Section gives us the future Events, so one of those sections gives us the unspeakable things, and that is the Third Section of that Book, why do i say, because when John Saw the events of the First and the second section his spirit was still not caught up, though he was in that prophetic experience but his spirit was not Caught up, so revelation chapter 1 up to chapter 3 they are not unspeakable things, the unspeakable things begins in chapter 4 verse 1, why because thats were John was Caught up into paradise in the third Heaven, and from then on he Heard unspeakable things, which in the days of the Apostles were not ready to be revealed, the book of Revelation is divine and prophetic, and thats why Many people cannot interpret it, and in the Days of Paul, those deep prophetic Symbols which this Book projects were not known, they were still a Mystery, they were not to be spoken or recorded at that hour, thats why paul said it was unlawful for a Man to utter, and as i have said, it doesnt mean they were not to be known totally, but it means at that particular Junction they were not to be revealed to the Church, thats why in the epistles we dont see those Mysteries being Revealed, the Apostles dealt with Many Revelations which pertains to salvation but there is one Revelation which they didnt record, and that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ which was given to John, and it is that Revelation of Jesus Christ which John recieved at patmos that Constitutes of the unspeakable things, why are they unspeakable things, they are unspeakable things because they are Prophetic coded Mysteries which no man can decode unless he is Led by the spirit of God, and indeed the Book of Revelation has been an unspeakable book in the bible, because Many saints Down through Time Failed to understand the Context of this Book, and thats why it is Rare that you can find any preacher preaching or teaching on this Book and even if you can find them, you will see that they are Misinterpreting the picture and doing a Great injustice to the Book, why, because it is a Book which Containts unspeakable images, many people when they read of The Dragon with seven heads and ten horns, their Minds become Paralysed, because they cant make any meaning out of that, what about the sea of Glass, they dont know what that sea is, what are about the Image of the Beast, many dont know what this image is, so what does that make all these images, it makes them to be unspeakable things as they cannot be interpreted or comprehended by carnal Christians who are devoid of Revelation, so because of that then this Revelation becomes an unspeakable Revelataion, but it is unspeakable to those who dont have its Revelation, but to the bride this Revelation it is speakable, it is understood, thats why it is only the Bride which can interpret the Contents of this Book, because they have its full revelation, but the rest of the Church world Nominal Christians cannot even understand the Iota of this Revelation, for remember the Lord Jesus said, it is given to you to understand the Mysteries of the Kingdom, but not to them, which not the church Apostate world, the Church Apostate world will not understand the word of God as the bride do, because the bride is in the Secret chamber with the Lord intimating with him through Divine Revelation and in that secret chamber this Book of Revelation becomes an open book to the Bride, and as we speak today this Book is an Open Book, we no Longer scratch our heads as to the Meaning of this book, because we have the full Revelation of it, we are deeply basking in its Revelation, this Book is the Bones of the word of God, remember we have the Milk of the word which is the Basic Message of Salvation, we have the Meat of the word which is the doctrines that anchors us in truth, then lastly we have the bone of the word which is mysteries of the word and the Book of Revelation is the bone of the word, and no Man can crack the Bone except he Is Matured, you cannot be still feeding on a milk and Expect to crack the bones of divine Revelation, you will destroy yourself, so thats why no man can Crack the Bone of the Book of Revelation except the bride of jesus christ, iam not talking about the Falss bride which cannot move in the Present truth, iam talking about the Moving bride, the bride which is in motion under the spirit of a flying Eagle, the bride which moves in the Continuity of the word of God, the little flock of God which is the Church established upon the Rock of Revealed truth, and it is only that little element that can understand this Deep revelation which to some it is unspeakable, but to the bride it is speakable, and it can only be speakable when we have its Revelation, but if we dont we will be like the rest of the Church world who cannot even interpret correctly one scripture of this book, because they are shut off from the fountain of Divine Revelation which gives life to the soul, but the bride of Jesus Christ is Basking in the Pool of Divine revelation under the spirit of an eagle, let us take 2 Corinthians 12 verse 4,
VERSE 4: HOW THAT HE WAS CAUGHT UP INTO PARADISE AND HEARD UNSPEAKABLE WORDS, WHICH IT IS NOT LAWFUL FOR A MAN TO UTTER,
these unspeakable words or things as we have shown are the Imageries of the Book of Revelation, and prior to John being given this Revelation these things were not known, so thats why Paul could say he Heard unspeakable things which were not lawful to be uttered, which means in his own season it was not the time or the hour to be uttered, but for the Fact that the Man Heard these things it showed that in the process of time christ was going to make them known, because the secrets of the Lord are with his People, and in the process these unspeakable things were to be recorded, but since this Man was not Paul then it was not him who was ordained to write them down, thats why we dont have any Record of them in his epistles except the Revelation of Salvation, but after he departed, God had to deal with another Vessel through which he will reveal those unspeakable things Fulfilling the Vision of Paul to the dot, and thats what Revelation gives us, showing that the Man that was Caught up was John and not Paul, and Revelation 4 verse 1 is the Pure evidence to prove that, now as i have said the Book of Revelation is divided into three Sections and we is important that we Look at these sections in Chapter 1 verse 19,
VERSE 19: WRITE THE THINGS WHICH THOU HAST SEEN, AND THE THINGS WHICH ARE, AND THE THINGS WHICH SHALL BE HEREAFTER,
The things which John Hast seen are Things Recorded in chapter 1 which is the vision of Christ, the things which Are, are the things which are Recorded in chapter 2 and 3 being the church ages, and the things which shall be hereafter are the things which saw when he was Caught up in chapter 4 verse 1 and they extend up until chapter 22, so the Vision of Paul is fulfilled when John Saw the things which shall be Hereafter, because those one's are too deep and Coded and mysterious, and they are the one's which confuses the Church world, because from chapter 4 we get upwards we get The seals, we get the Lamb having seven horns and seven eyes, we get the dragon with seven heada and ten horns, we get the seven Thunders, we get the seven trumpets, we get the Sea of Glass, we get the 144000, we get the everlasting gospel, we get the new Jerusalem, we get the New heaven and the New Earth, and many More mysterious things, those are the things which paul Says they were unspeakable, but John Wrote them, and even though they are written, but they are still coded, because many people dont even understand them, so they are Coded and Sealed to many, now there is another thing which John Heard and Saw but he didnt write, and that is not part of the records of the Book of Revelation and that is the Voices of the seven Thunders, the thumders are not written so those one's John was not even Lawful to write or utter, so they remain a Mystery, bur the Rest were revealed but still coded, John Saw the New Jerusalem, though it is Revealed as the City but it is Coded to many as they project a Falss interpretation out of that City making it a literal city, so these are the things which Paul Testified of, John Revealed them amd wrote of them at an appointed time as he was the Man that Was Caught up into Paradise,
Amen
