Words #1963-1999 in N.T.
Greek:
A Brief Autobiography by S.D.A.;
Introduction
I was looking up words pertaining to letters (alphabet) and writing, when I came upon word #1992 in the Greek lexicon. My curiosity led me to wonder if there might be any sort of correlation between the numbers for these word definitions and the years with the same number. At first, the applications seemed remote at best, until I began to consider parallels to events in my own life during those years. Here is a synopsis of what I discovered. (Greek definitions come from Spiros Zodhiates, The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament, 1992. Hebrew definitions come from H.W.F. Gesenius, Gesenius= Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the O.T., Baker Books, 1979.)

7. Formative years’ thirst for truth goes largely unfulfilled in the secular humanist-based public education, though faith was somewhat satisfied in LDS Sunday School/Primary. These were like two different worlds. |

| 1977 | ,B4DD4BJT: To throw or cast upon. Figuratively, in regard to concern or care, to cast off upon in filial confidence. | 13. Though adolescent foibles certainly arose, I generally loved and respected my parents and noticed their trust in God; but this was probably least so during this season of my. |
| 1978 | ,B4F0µ@H: (from epi and sema, see asemos 797, a mark or sign). Having a mark upon, as spoken of money meaning stamped, coined. Figuratively it signifies, in a good sense, being well-thought-of, distinguished; in a bad sense, notorious. Ant. (2399), a private person in contrast to a state official; (62), unlettered; (261), ignorant. | 14. With Dad having been called to be stake president, by virtue of being his son, I became somewhat of a public figure. While I was usually viewed with loving affection, I suppose that those instructors and colleagues that had to put up with my often obnoxious immaturity were not always so impressed. |
| 1979 | ,B4F4J4Fµ@H: (from episitizo, to give food). Food supply, provisions, victuals. | 15. The voracious 15-year-old, boy-scout appetite! Also, having received my drivers licence this year, I began working at McDonald’s restaurant, which lasted into the next year. |
| 1980 | ,B4F6,BJ@µ"4: To look at something, examine closely, inspect, observe. Also from skeptomai, goal, mark. (I) To look upon with mercy, regard. (II) To visit in order to punish. (III) To look after, take care of, tend. (IV) To look at accurately/diligently. | 16/Soph. A volatile stage. Though I attended early-morning Seminary, my disrespect for the several instructors that our rowdy class went through required my eventual removal to an older class. In school, I was beginning to apply myself, receiving straight A’s. It was this year that I graduated from piano lessons and received my Eagle Scout award with its requirements for community service. |
| Ant. (2990), to forget willfully; (272), to neglect; (2706), to despise; (4065), to depreciate. | With new-found and untempered freedoms of adolescence, this was spiritually the most wayward time of my life. | |
| 1981 | ,B4F6,<@T To descend and abide upon, rest upon, or live in, abide, dwell. [e.g. in-dwelling of Holy Ghost.] | 17/Jr. It was in the summer of ‘81 that I had the mighty change of heart during a fireside by Blaine Yorgason and chose finally to follow God with all my heart. |
| 1982 | ,B4F64".T To overshadow. Spoken of a divine power and influence. | 18. As I graduated from H.S. and then commenced a semester at B.Y.U., I felt the continual guiding influence of the Holy Ghost bringing peace and joy to my life. |
| 1983 | ,B4F6@B,T: To look after, observe, , examine the state of affairs of something, oversee. Used of the work of shepherding the flock. Syn. (1006), to lead to pasture, fodder; (1959), to show concern over. | 19. In Jan., I began 18-months of missionary service in Japan. I was "desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for [I] could not bear that any human soul should perish." |
| 1984 | ,B4F6@B0 (from 1983) Visitation. The act of visiting or being visited. Metaphorically, of God, who is said to visit men for good, (Luke 19:44, "the time when God visited thee"). | 20. On my mission, and then when I returned to teach in the M.T.C., I was both the recipient of divine presence as well as God’s instrument for others. I remember best the last day of my mission, when the Spirit of the Lord descended upon me as I opened and read Hel. 10:4. |
| 1985 | ,B4F6@B@H: Superintendent, overseer. Used of officers in the local churches. The duties of elders and bishops.... (II) A distinct function of bishops or elders is teaching: "apt to teach" or capable of teaching; "they who labor in the word and doctrine." (III) Pastoral care. Visiting the sick and offering hospitality and caring for the poor. Deriv. (122), a busy body. [Tendency of programs & hierarchy toward spiritual futility when focus is not placed appropriately.] Syn. (4245), elder; (4166), shepherd; (1249), minister. | 21/SophBYU. While attending BYU, I was in several elders quorum presidencies, with a strong focus on 100% home teaching. I also served as gospel doctrine teacher from time to time in the various wards I was in. I made it a practice while attending school that no matter how busy I was, I would devote at least one hour each day to personal gospel study. For two years of my time at BYU, I taught Japanese at the MTC during the week and two classes (~75 missionaries in each) of Gospel Doctrine on Sundays. |
| 1986 | ,B4FB"T: To draw upon or over oneself, to draw the foreskin over again (1 Cor. 7:18, meaning let him not become as if uncircumcised). The allusion is to a mode of removing the mark of circumcision, apparently practiced by Jews who abandoned their religion and national customs. Ant. (4061), to circumcise. | 22/JrBYU. My life began taking a dramatic change when I had the pivotal experience in the temple in which I asked the Lord to grant me the faith-trying and faith-promoting experiences that I might develop the faith of the ancients, to see the things they saw and do the manner of things they did. Brian Jenkins moved in as a roommate, and he woke me up to a realization of the workings of the great conspiracy in our nation and the world. In the Fall, Ezra Taft Benson addressed BYU student body regarding "The Constitution: A Heavenly Banner." As part of a club I was in, I pushed for BYU to adopt a course on the Constitution. My thirst to understand prophecy began to find fulfilment. My departure from "mainstream" or "traditional" Mormonism commenced as I realized the apostasy into which we as a people are sinking. |
| 1987 | ,B4FJ"µ"4: To fix one’s mind upon, to understand, know how. (I) To know well: of thing, of person. (II) Comprehend. Deriv. (1990), intelligent, scientist. Syn.: (1921), to fully perceive, discern, recognize. | 23/SrBYU. In Su ‘87, received Bachelor of Science in Microbiology from BYU, commenced graduate studies in Virology. Became fascinated with "The Body Electric" and decided to change focus to Bioelectrochemistry. Most importantly, though, I continued to learn more about the salt having lost its savor in allowing the international conspiracy to grow to such an extent. |
| 1988 | ,B4FJ"J0H: One set over, master. In the NT, addressed in the vocative to Jesus, "Master," as having the authority of a teacher or rabbi among His disciples. | 24. I spent the first 3/4 of the year in graduate studies (master’s degree level), but suspended that to begin writing The Vision of All: Our Past, Present, and Future as Foretold in BofM History, a volume that, when completed 1 ˝ years later, resonated with many others who were awakening to what is going on in this country and church. I turned 25, which ended up being a most pivotal age (and number) for me. The endeavors I pursued brought me very far in coming to understand what is going on in our day prophetically, and what role the Lord is preparing me to play. |
| 1989 | ,B4FJ,88T (epistello) To send upon, send to, meaning to send word to someone verbally or by letter. Give direction by letter. | 25. Virtually the entire year was spent in writing The Vision of All, in which process I corresponded frequently with a few very talented and helpful editors among my circle of friends and family. |
| 1990 | ,B4FJ,µT<: Endued with knowledge, understanding, expertise, the equivalent of the Eng. "scientist." Syn. (1109), one who knows; Ant. (2399), a person without professional knowledge, and unskilled, unlearned person. | 26. While writing my book, I was constantly harangued by well-meaning acquaintances to get back into school — that I needed to get my Ph.D. in the sciences I had studied so that I could have the credibility required to function in a meaningful way in the modern society. Having finally completed the book, I applied to and was accepted with a scholarship into BYU’s Masters of Public Administration program, but finally declined in order to found and lead what became the American Study Group. I do not regret my deferment of pursuing the credentials of man in order to pursue the knowledge of God. I willfully chose to be numbered among "the weak things of the earth, those who are unlearned and despised." |
| 1991 | ,B4FJ,D4.T: Literally, to place firmly upon. To rest or lean upon, be supported on. To confirm, establish. | 27. The American Study Group grew and expanded rapidly throughout the Rocky Mountain West. There was a yearning for a support group among those who were awakening and seeking the truth. Because of the misused maxim to "separate church and state," people were starving for an understanding of what God has had to say regarding matters of government. Alas, around October, the Spirit constrained us to disband the A.S.G. due to persecution from the LDS Church. People would be now be learning on their own in the fire opposition that the only sure foundation is Jesus Christ. |
| 1992 | ,B4FJ@80 (from epistello 1989, to send a letter or to enjoin by writing.) An epistle or letter. By implication, meaning a letter of authority, dispatch. | 28. With the disbandment of the ASG, I was now seeking something to do for the Lord. Beginning with an essay, "Will the Gentiles Also Look Beyond the Mark," for six months I published a bimonthly journal, Greater Things, which set forth chiasms and parallels from the scriptures and other inspired sources, which supported in a parable-like way the thesis of the Gentiles being on a parallel with the Nephites and also with the Jews, chiastically. Also, there were the continuous flow of letters to the editor as well as occasional correspondences to Church headquarters, to which the favor of a reply was rare. |
| 1993 | ,B4FJ@µ4.T: To muzzle, stop the mouth, check, curb, put to silence. Syn. (4912), stop which implies the ears. | 29. Excommunicated for
"apostasy" in Feb. of ‘93; credibility among the LDS
population all but nullified. Those involved in the hearing had no
sympathy for an appeal to the scriptures or to the writings of President
Benson.
My actions and teachings were too extreme to be compatibile with membership in the Mormon world. The unexpected injunction I believed to be unequivocally from God was to seek — within reason of conscience — to be submissive to the leaders of the Church, which included a cessation of speaking & publishing. "Hold thy peace" was the verbiage given later in a chiasm of D&C 11. |
| 1994 | ,B4FJD,NT: To turn upon, toward. (I) In a moral sense, to turn upon or convert unto. In the sense of to turn back again upon, to cause to return from error. (II) (A) (1) Figuratively, to turn to the service and worship of the true God; to the Lord, to the shepherd. (3) To turn back upon, return unto, back, backward. Of the breath or spirit returning to a dead body. Metaphorically spoken of a return to good, be converted. Syn. (1880), to come back again; (344), to return; (3344), to change into something different. Ant. (565,548,1826), to go away; (1831), to go out; (630), to depart; (665), to cause to turn away; (1624), to cause to turn aside. | 30. A major theme for a couple of years after my excommunication was to seek to get back into the Church. I believed that was what the Lord willed for me to seek, though I had a difficult time believing it would actually happen. My convictions were too strong in what the Lord had shown me, and the leaders were too insistent on my having a complete "mental enema" as part of my "repentance." The Mormon culture has no sympathy for the scriptural commentaries on their apostate ways, which I have been given the burden to perceive with great clarity. Attending church and seeking to love and forgive those who looked unkindly at me as an unsavory outcast, brought me to comprehend the Lord’s sufferings among the Jews much more keenly than ever. In the Fall of ‘94, in an effort to obey the counsel of my bishop, I moved to Tucson to pick up my graduate studies, this time in Physiology. While that was mentally stimulating, my spirit was famished. Finally, before the end of the first semester, I had re-embarked on the path of getting out of there and back to the scriptures, the gifts the Lord has given me to unfold their deeper and most timely meanings. |
| 1995 | ,B4FJD@N0: (from 1994) A turning around, conversion. It is the human side of God’s redemption of sinful man. | 31. Convinced that I must do the work of the Lord and set aside any pursuits of my own "career," by April, I was completely out of the school and work scene at the University of Arizona, though I was still using their computers — only now it was for scripture studies. Some very elaborate chiasms and parallels that were unfolding. Toward the end of the year, I embarked on an treatise which is still under way on the Baptism of Fire and of the Holy Ghost, whose main commentary is that "all we can do" is not a multitude of works, but an acknowledgment that "no matter how much we do" it is by the gift of grace that we are saved. It is God’s righteousness in us henceforth that flows through us to sanctify and purify us until we are perfected in Christ. |
| 1996 | ,B4FL<"(T: (from 4863, to gather [(III) to take into one’s house, meaning to give hospitality and protection.]) To lead or bring together upon a place, to gather together, assemble. | 32. The pivotal event of 1996 was having the "School of Friends" gathering here at the house for a week in February to study D&C 113:7-10. Those friendships and the lessons learned became a theme for the year. |
| 1997 | ,B4FL<"(T(0: (episunagoge) (from 1996) The act of gathering or assembling together (2 Thes. 2:1). Heb. 10:25 does not merely denote the assembling for corporate worship as a solitary or occasional act, but as customary conduct. The prep. Epi (1909), to, must refer to Christ Himself [or his servant as the Messiah sets his hand "again the second time"] as the one to whom this assembly was attached. Thus it would have the meaning of not betraying one’s attachment to Jesus Christ and other believers, not avoiding one’s own personal responsibility as part of the body of Christ [in bringing forth the manchild/kingdom of God]. Syn. (4864), a gathering of Jews for worship, a synagogue; (1577), an assembly, church; sunedrion (4892), a council; (3831), a festive assembly; (4923), synod, companionship on a journey. Ant. (1459), to desert or leave stranded, to abandon. It refers rather to the separating of oneself from the local Christian community (often because of the dread of persecution). | 33. Spent the first 1/4 of the year working on "The Man of Sin Revealed," (R.E. 2 Thes. 2 and Isa. 66). More recently, once again I have found myself in gatherings of like-minded people and even giving presentations again. It seems as though a previous block has begun to be removed. There is a general desire among these people to be able to meet often one with another to strengthen and be strengthened, according to the prophecy, "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one with another; and a book of remembrance was written." These people are finding it increasingly difficult to abide the dead worship in the chapels of Mormon adherents. In seeing the urgent times in which we live, with what is facing us because of Satan’s kingdom having risen to such great prominence — thanks to the blindness and even assistance of many "latter-day saints" — they recoil in disgust over the celebrations and re-enactments ad nauseam of the pioneers coming into these "all is well" valleys. Many of these modern, persecuted pioneers have come to the same general understandings as I have on their own. One of those understandings is of the need to be firmly rooted in Jesus Christ, not placing anyone or anything in His place as far as ultimate trust is concerned. Coincident with this "gathering" has been one of the most painful betrayals by a dearest friend and spotlight player from the "school of friends," the results of which have taken from me any lingering desire to show up at our local ward any more. |
