bullet Word 385 in the New Testament Lexicon

The first thing I noticed in looking up word 385 in the New Testament Lexicon (Zodhiates') is the word that comes immediately after it.

386 "<"FJ"F4H anastasis Resurrection, recovery. (I) A standing on the feet again or rising as opposed to falling. (II) Resurrection of the body from death, return to life.

The impression that hit me when I saw this, and which has been confirmed with what I have found in further investigation, is that this word study on 385 is going to have a positive, redemptive, uplifting tone whereas the 801 write-up tended to be extremely negative in its portrayal of how the people of God have reneged on their calling to be a light to the world.

The meaning of word 385 itself is:

385 "<"FB"T anaspao To draw up or back again.

To me, this holds out promise to the people of area code 385 signifying that at least a significant portion of them are going come around and become the people they were foreordained to be in helping to pull off victory for the Lord and the cause of freedom that is inseparable from the kingdom of God.

The word two prior to this one means, "to move or stir up" (383, anaseio), which calls to mind the idea of stirring the people to a sense of their destiny.

The word after that and prior to 385 means "to pack up baggage, and so forth, in order to remove, hence to subvert or unsettle" (384, anaskeuazo).  The derivatives listed include "Iaposkeuazo (643), to remove; kataskeuazo (2680), to prepare fully; paraskeuazo (3903), to make ready, prepare."

What comes to my mind in reading these things in this context is the idea that when the tribulations hit, then the people who have prepared -- though they have been in the midst of ease -- will be able to flee to places of safety such as the Sanpete Valley which has a prophetic destiny for this exodus.

 

bullet Page 385 in Zodhiates' NT Lexicon

In accordance with the idea of awakening, word 1127 (gregoreou) that spills onto page 385 of Zodhiates' New Testament dictionary means, "to watch, to refrain from sleep."  It is derived from word 1235, diagregoreo, "to be awake."  That is a direct word match between word 385 and page 385.

Word 1129, also on page 385, similarly means, "exercise of the body by severities such as fasting, abstinence, or watching."

What's more is that Zodhiates' definition and explanation for word 1127 fits in perfect synch with the antonyms given for word 801, which number is the telephone area code prior to the change to 385 in December.

Here is Zodhiates' entry for word 801:

   801 asunetoV asunetos Without insight or understanding, unintelligent, foolish.
   Antonyms sunetos (4908), able to reason logically and arrive at the proper conclusions; sophos (4680), wise, able to regulate relationships with God; nephalios (3524), circumspect, sober, free from the influences of intoxicants and avoiding them.

Now compare that with Zodhiates' explanation for word 1127 that begins on page 384 but whose bulk is on page 385:

1127 gregoreuo To watch, to refrain from sleep.  It was transferred in meaning from the physical to the moral religious sphere.  It denotes attention to God's revelation or to the knowledge of salvation; a mindfulness of threatening dangers which, with conscious earnestness and an alert mind, keeps it from all drowsiness and all slackening in the energy of faith and conduct.
...This involves the duty of vigilance combined with prayer in regard either to a certain day or hour when the Son of man shall arrive, or to some actual crisis or trial....  In Acts 20:31 it is found in the exhortation by Paul to the elders at Miletus in view of the apostasy that has taken place or may be repeated under the influence of "fierce wolves."  ...In 1 Thess. 5:6 and 1 Pet. 5:8, the verb "to watch" is combined with nepho (3525), to exercise discretion or to be sober, which in 2 Tim. 4:5 and 1 Pet. 4:7 is translated, "be watchful" or "watch." However, nepho means to be temperant [sic] sober (originally to avoid intoxication, the abuse of alcohol). It conveys the sense or calmness or coolness prepared for any emergency....  Watchfulness or watching indicates that the Christian is alert or vigilant in order to defend himself against a spiritual foe.  He is properly prepared for any surprise or sudden change in his circumstances.

Word 801 refers to the antonym 3524 nephalios; and word 1127 on page 385 refers to 3525 nepho.  Word 3525 is derived from word 3524.  Thus these two area code numbers are linked, but by opposite meanings.  801 conveys spiritual grogginess or stupor while 385 conveys the meaning of alertness.  WAKE UP!

I find that very interesting and hopeful for the people of those regions (as well as those who find themselves in parallel circumstances elsewhere).  My personal experience as I have lived in the Provo and Mapleton area for approximately ten years off and on is that the people are generally conservative and conscientious about freedom, though they are reluctant to full alertness because of the perception that "the brethren" in Salt Lake (still 801) "aren't currently saying anything about these conspiracies [to overthrow the freedom of all lands nations and countries]," though the voice of warning has certainly been raised in the past by heroes such as Ezra Taft Benson.

It was in Provo back in 1990 that I commenced the American Study Group, which, thanks to the help of many wonderful friends, served to wake up many people.  So I hope you will be patient with me as I indulge on a personal level here and mention that word 1130, the numbers of my birthday (Nov. 30), is also found on page 385, and its meaning is relevant to the idea of birth: "To be naked."

Speaking of naked:

 

bullet 385 and 2002 Winter Olympics

Also on page 385 of Zodhiates' NT lexicon is word 1128.

1128 gumnazo To train naked, as the Greek athletes. Generally to exercise, train.  Thus gumnasion, gymnasium, is a place of exercising.

While the idea of exercise and gymnasiums are applicable to most any area of the country, and it could be said that the pending 385 area code areas are particularly keen on exercise in general; what makes this correlations of particular relevance is that the Winter Olympics are coming to Utah in 2002, and the 385 telephone code areas will be hosting several key venues for the Olympics.

As a second witness or occurrence of this match, the following word definition is found on page 385 of my Webster's '71 dictionary:

gymnasium (Gr. gymnasion, from gymnos, naked)  A place where athletic exercises are performed.

 

bullet Word 385 in the OT Lexicon

Word 385 in the Old Testament lexicon (Gesenius') is

385 9/;*! Ithmar "land of palms"

On first inspection that might not seem to have anything to do with the areas of Utah that will receive the 385 telephone code.  But a look at the etymology of the word gives relevant commentary, as do the words before and after it in its alphabetical sequence.

According to James Strong, word 385 is derived from words "339" (land of) and 8558 "a palm tree."  Interesting that this number presents a chiasm of the last two digits of 385:  8558.

Word 8558 is derived from the root word that means, "to be or stand erect."

This ties in again with Isaiah 52:1,2 which contains the injunction to "awake, awake, put on strength, O Zion . . . shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down."

The word just prior to this one, alphabetically, has an antonym meaning: "a melting, liquefaction" (8557), which calls to mind the destructions by earthquake prophesied to come to these valleys of Utah that sit on a significant fault.

The word after it, 8559, "Tamar," the name of a town, is also known by the name "Palmyra" (Gesenius).  That is the name of a key town in Mormon history, calling to mind Joseph Smith and the restoration of the gospel, from which movement sprang most the inhabitants of what will become telephone area code 385.

The word following word 385 in the OT lexicon (Gesenius) is:

386 0;*! aythawn (1) perennial, constant, especially used of water.  0;*! -;1 "a perennial stream," constantly flowing.  Continuance, Ps. 74:15 "rivers of continuance," i.e. continually flowing.
(2) firm, valid (firmness, strength), Jer. 5:15 "a mighty nation"
(3) [opposite manifestation] hard, hence pernicious, terrible.
(4) a rock, a crag; Micah 6:2 "the rocks, the foundations of the earth."

This calls to mind Lehi's injunction to his wayward sons, Laman and Lemuel, in the second chapter of the Book of Mormon (I Ne. 2):

9 And when my father saw that the waters of the river emptied into the fountain of the Red Sea, he spake unto Laman, saying: O that thou mightest be like unto this river, continually running into the fountain of all righteousness!
10 And he also spake unto Lemuel: O that thou mightest be like unto this valley, firm and steadfast, and immovable in keeping the commandments of the Lord!
11 Now this he spake because of the stiffneckedness of Laman and Lemuel; for behold they did murmur in many things against their father, because he was a visionary man, and had led them out of the land of Jerusalem, to leave the land of their inheritance, and their gold, and their silver, and their precious things, to perish in the wilderness. And this they said he had done because of the foolish imaginations of his heart.
12 And thus Laman and Lemuel, being the eldest, did murmur against their father. And they did murmur because they knew not the dealings of that God who had created them.

This verse, in our context, calls to mind the future exodus that the remnant will be called to take to escape the destructions that await the main valleys because of the wickedness of those who have called themselves the people of God but who too often are but hypocrites.  The Lord gathers out the wheat from the midst of the tares, and then the tares are left to be burned (destroyed, purged), whether it be by earthquake, the return of Lake Bonneville, invading armies, plagues or all of these and more.

Neighboring Sanpete Valley will be one of the places of refuge for these remnant escapees.

The word definition just before 385 in Hebrew (Gesenius) is

384 -!*;*! Itheiel "God is with me."

 

bullet Page 385 in Gesenius' OT Lexicon

The following word definitions are found on page 385 of Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament

3545 healing, mitigation

3546 to be able

3547 to presage, to predict

3548, 3549 a priest

3550 priesthood, the office or function of a priest

...3553 a helmet [full armor of God]

"Would to God that all the Lord's people were prophets," mourned Moses, as the people insisted on placing a man between them and God.  The remnant who overcome will be such: kings and priests unto the most high God  -- the valiant "boys from the west," the "elders of Israel," who will stand in the gap as the morality and freedoms of this nation and even of the world hang in the balance.

 

bullet Page 385 of Thayer's NT Lexicon

The first definition on page 385 of Thayer's Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament, spilling over from the previous page, is

3089 luo [fut. luso.] To loose; i.e. 1. to loose any person (or thing) tied or fastened; 2. to loose one bound, i.e. to unbind, release from bonds, set free; to discharge from prison, let go; 3. to loosen, undo, dissolve; to overthrow, do away with.

Again, this calls to mind Isaiah 52:1,2, which seems to be thematic for 385.

"...Loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion."

I also think of the prophecy, "the lawful captives shall be delivered."  Their bonds are considered 'lawful' in the society in which they live, but the people of God will be delivered from those bonds.  How many 'lawful' bonds there are in this Babylonian society in which we live?  The command "loose thyself from the bands of thy neck" is a proactive command which will be finalized by the Lord's intercession to enable those bonds to be fully broken.

Another interesting definition on page 385 of Thayer's is

3091 Lot a covering, veil

The word "veil" is also found on page 385 of the index to the LDS Triple Combination.

Interesting that the name "Lot" would mean "veil," for Lot was "hidden" in the midst of a society that was destined for destruction, but was called out on the eve, and his life preserved.

Also on page 385 of Thayer's is the proper noun or name:

3094 Magdalene

Mary Magdalene can be considered a metaphor of the people of God, whom the Lord compares to a bride.  [See write-up on this subject.]  Mary, who was most likely Jesus' wife, had had seven devils cast out of her.  So also might the "Church" be simultaneously considered both the bride and the whore.  The tares within constitute the "great and abominable" element, and the wheat are the "bride" element.  Hence the need for the devils to be cast out, the bride purified, the house of God set in order.  This is one of the responsibilities of the remnant who are called out, of which remnant the 385 telephone area code geographical region contains a very significant portion.

 

bullet Page 385 of Strong's Concordance

On page 385 of James Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible is found the listing, "gift."  That is the meaning of the very last word of the Old Testament lexicon, conveying the idea of alpha and omega, signifying in this context the gift of deliverance that will come to the remnant Saints who repent and cry mightily to the Lord in the tribulations that come because they have treated lightly the things they have been given.

Another entry of interest on the page is the listing, "Gilead."  I think of Avraham Gileadi, whose work with the translation of Isaiah and expounding his commentary on our day, has been monumentally instrumental in waking up a good many Saints.  I would dare say that most all those who end up among the Lord's chosen "remnant" will have read writings by Avraham Gileadi.

The entry just before "gift" is "gier-eagle," which brings to mind the parable/scripture, "where the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered."  I believe that during the tribulations, Sanpete Valley will be the primary place of protection and gathering of the Lord's people, though there will be other pockets elsewhere in the world.

The phone prefix of Manti, 835, the county seat, is a variation of the area code number 385 to the north.  The word "remnant," for example, is found on page 835 of Zodhiates. [See write-up on Manti.]

Schopenhauer
All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
