What does the word Israel mean?
It is a combination of two Hebrew morphemes: "ysr" and "el". While the word "El" undoubtedly means "god" (when added at the end of the combination it means "of god", "with god", "to god" etc), the morpheme "ysr" have several meanings: 1) It might come from the root S.R.R, in the meaning of "rule", "prince", thus the whole name means "he who rules with god" ("thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed", Genesis 32:28 KJV). 2) It might come from the same root (S.R.R) in the meaning of "strive" or "struggle", thus it all means "he who struggles god", referring to the event in which his name was changed. 3) It might come from the root Y.SH.R, means "straight", "honest" or "righteous man", thus the name means "honest man of god", or something like that. "Israel" is Jacob, the ancestor of the people of Israel (that is also referred to as "Israel" in the bible). Modern Israel is named after the ancient kingdom of Israel and the Israeli nation.
How will you describe life in seven words?
To live is Christ; to die, gain.These words from the apostle Paul, written to the new believers in Philipi, we written at the end of Paul’s life. He became the most influential person in the new era call Christianity. He was highly educated, extremely successful both as a leader in Judaism and then much more so with the “Christ-followers” who, in just one century, would permeate the entire known world. He also was highly influential in the social order as the teachings of Jesus promoted social justice to women, slaves, and (significantly in the religious world) to gentiles (non-Jews) who would be deemed worthy to participate in new kingdom of Israel according to the teachings of Jesus.Despite his incredible life of success and influence he declared that the best part of life was knowing and being related to Jesus Christ. Rather than to focus on accomplishments that he had done, he could only celebrate his utter dependency on God and his relation to him through Jesus Christ. But, even better than any accomplishment—so said Paul—would be to report in person to Jesus Christ in heaven.The essence of life of about a relationship with God who is preparing us to spend an eternity with him.
What does the word "Israel" mean?
Israel, "Yisrael" in Hebrew, means "one who struggles with God." It is first used in the book of Genesis (Parashat Vayishlach) (Chap 32:29) as the new name for Jacob. Some translate it as "one who has striven (sarita) with God", while some include in it the idea of having prevailed with God (although that is not how the word literally translates). The name is bestowed on Jacob again in Chap 35:10 in God's blessing to him. In that blessing, God also says that a "congregation of nations shall descend from you," and thus, the descendants of Jacob are b'nei Yisrael, or simply, Israel.
Israelites are seenin the bible as the children of god, that god being Yahweh; but?
the word ‘Israel’ is a compound of three units, Is - Ra - and El. Is could well be an abbreviation or shortened form of Isis, the Egyptian goddess of motherhood. Even the Hebrew word for "woman" is isha (issa). The Ra comes direct from the great Egyptian father of spirit, Ra; and El is the Hebrew singular word for God. It would then read "Mother-Father-God," precisely what its generic character would make appropriate. The Hebrew heritage was drawn from Egypt, and in that land the name of the Divine Father-principle not associated with Ra was Osiris; significantly enough the original name of this deity was Asar (Azar). The Hebrews carried this very name forward in the title of their High Priest, who stood for the spiritual fatherhood, EL(e)azar and again Azariah. (It was the Greeks who made Azar into Osiris.) The spiritual progeny of this God were called the children of Azar, and with the addition of the Hebrew El, God, as "Azar-el-ites." Alvin Boyd Kuhn - a rebirth of Christianity- ch,ii page 13 Doesn’t this insinuate that the Israelites were a denomination of an Egyptian mystery religion and not a race of people or a nation? What implications does this have on the OT narrative? http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Names_o...
