1. Allegory
The Spiritualised interpretation of Literal
Scripture in the apparent absence of literal fulfilment. This is the interpretation of the Church
“Kingdom”.
2. Acharit hayemin
The Latter days, associated with the time of the Kingdom of Yahweh on earth - through Israel.
3. Anti-Chiliastic Church
The largest section of the Church, comprised of
the Roman Catholic Church and most of the Reformation. It sees itself as “Spiritual Israel” and, as
such, as God’s final fulfilment of His
Kingdom prophecies. It sees no further
future for Covenant Israel in her land of Eretz Israel other than conversion to
Christianity. (Chapter 12, p. 107)
4. Brit Milah - Bris
Circumcision Covenant introduced to Abraham for
all generations of his descendants and all Gentiles who share his belief in
God’s promise. It governs the outcome of that promise, both corporately and
individually.
5. Chiliastic Church
Smaller section of the Church who interpret
Scripture in a more Literal manner and who believe that Yahweh is not finished
with Israel and will restore Israel as further development of the “kingdom”. Found mostly among the Baptist/Pentecostal/
Charismatic movements. They subscribe to
believers baptism and not to the “Covenant” of Infant Baptism as do the
Anti-Chiliasts. Both are lost to the
significance of Brit Milah. (Chapter 12, p. 107)
6. Delay
The interruption of the chronological sequence
of Yahweh’s declared times of Israel in the middle of Daniel’s 70th
week of years, resulting in the still-prevailing time vacuum.
7. Echad
One. The singularity of the
Person and the Name of Yahweh.(Chapter 4.4, p.34,
Deut.6:4; Mark 12:29; Zech.14:9)
8. Guilt Offering/Asham
The prescribed sacrifice, which deals with sin against the holy (set
apart) things of
Yahweh. The only sacrifice which
has a monetary value as measured against the
Sanctuary Shekel.
9. Kadosh
To be “set apart”, to be different. Yahweh “sets His people apart”, makes them
different rom the sinful nations, by His Torah - teachings and law. It is poorly rendered as
“holy”, an esoteric term that doesn’t convey the meaning accurately.
10. Kerugmatic/Kerygmatic
The preached or proclaimed Christ of the Gospel.
11. Messiahs
Prophetic Scripture present three expected Messianic figures, nl.
a. Suffering Messiah (Chapter 6, p.
55)
b. Prophet Messiah (Chapter 6, p.
56)
c. Conquering Messiah (Chapter 6, p. 56)
(a and b may be the same one - both appearing before Yom Yahweh, while
c. appears
thereafter)
12. Jesus in 3 Persons
a.
1 Jesus - The Yahweh Messiah introduced
by the Gospel writers.
Advent
of Yahweh confused with that of
Suffering and
Conquering Messiah. (Chapter 6, p. 60,
72)
b. 2 Jesus - Suffering/Prophet Messiah before Yom Yahweh. (Chapter 6, p. 60, 72)
c. 3 Jesus - Conquering Messiah with Yahweh in Yom Yahweh. This is the Son of
Man
Davidic Messiah (Chapter 6, p. 63, 72).
13. Mosaic Covenant
Torah given to Moses, of which the Ten Commandments – the Ten Words -
are the
foundation. It is not a separate
Covenant from the Abrahamic Covenant but a further
development thereof, just like the future “New Covenant“ will be.
14. Replacement Theology
Replacement of Israel by the
mainly Gentile Church as God’s Covenant People at the apparent demise of
Israel. It consists of replacement of
circumcision by infant baptism, replacement of “law” by grace and, largely... replacement
of Yahweh by Jesus. (Chapter 5, p. 43)
15. Shemah, Sh’mah
To listen. To hear. Sh’mah Yisrael... Hear o Israel. The highest
form of instruction of
Yahweh to His people…”Adonai, Elohim, Adonai Echad.” (Chapter 4.4, p. 34,
Deut. 6:4,
Mark 12:29)
16. Trinity
The term that describes the three persons who make up the Godhead, as perceived
by the
Church, namely The Father (Yahweh), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit.
Divinity was
ascribed to Jesus at the Council of Chalcedon (381CE) and to the Holy Spirit ten
years later (The Bible A-Z)
