Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15.

And the title of today's post is,

Don't Fear the Storm.

I like studying biblical words because of the added insight I receive

from the different nuances of meaning.

The Hebrew language, with its pictorial style, paints many rich pictures, and with a technical approach, the Greeks used to say they could say more in one word than any other language could in an entire sentence.

Humorous, but possibly true. Without a doubt,

God determined that these two languages would give us the scriptures. There's another reason I like to

look up the original words used in scripture.

Some translations often use the same English word to translate different Hebrew or Greek words, which can sometimes be misleading.

For example, the King James Version uses the word time to translate both chronos

and kairos. You've heard me, some of you've heard me teach on this before. However, one refers to

general or chronological time. That would be kronos. The other word, chiros means strategic or opportune time.

The importance of knowing which word is used is immeasurable. From planting until harvest is chronos time.

The harvest window is chairos. If you're a farmer, you better

know the difference. Another subject with which the King James Version does this is fear.

There are actually three Greek words in the New Testament, which at times are all

translated with the one English word fear. One of them means reverential fear, or all,

A-W-E-all, U-Lobbia.

This is the word used when speaking of the fear of the Lord.

Another means terror, dread, or phobia.

That would be phobos.
