Isaiah 30:33

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
Isaiah 30:33

33 For Tophet [Tophteh] is ordained [`arak] of old ['ethmowl]; yea, for the king [melek] it is prepared [kuwn]; he hath made it deep [`amaq] and large [rachab]: the pile [maduwrah] thereof is fire ['esh] and much [rabah] wood [`ets]; the breath [nashamah] of the LORD [Yahovah], like a stream [nachal] of brimstone [gophriyth], doth kindle [ba`ar] it.   KJV-Interlinear

33 For a burning place has long been prepared; indeed, for the king it is made ready, its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of sulfur, kindles it.  ESV

The Lake of Fire, is herein described, and has many references in the book of Revelation, but the concept is documented and illustrated within the Old Testament, as we have here in this verse.

The word Tophet means, that which causes loathing or abhorrence, that which produces disgust and vomiting, to spit out.

The word occurs only in 2 Kings 23, and in several verses in Jeremiah chapters 7, and 19.

It is typically applied to a deep valley that is southeast of Jerusalem which was associated with the seed of idolatry, and more particularly of the worship of Moloch. The name given to that valley was Hinnom, or Tophet, and later referred to as Gehenna.

The valley was the place of worship of false gods, particularly Moloch, which included the construction of huge brazen images with a hollow trunk and arms which was heated and set on fire within, and then children were placed as a sacrifice within the hollow trunk. And in order to drown out their screams, drums were beaten.

In later times the valley became a dumping place for the filth and trash of the city of Jerusalem, including the dead which had nowhere else to be placed. And in order to reduce or get rid of the stench, fires were kept going, in order to keep things burning, and hence the valley became the symbolism of a vast never-ending Lake of Fire. A term which was used in the New Testament to describe the eternal and never-ending and continuing destruction of all that is corrupt and wicked and evil.

Note that the garbage of the city, the city of peace, was removed from the city, and destroyed at a location outside of the city.  The Lake of Fire is not a part of the future eternal state of Christians, but excluded and located elsewhere.

Ordained of old, is a reference to an appointment of this eventual place, since the beginning of time. And since only God existed since the beginning of time, then the decree came from God.

It was to this place, the Lake of Fire, that Satan and all of his fallen angel associates, having been convicted, are now sentenced to, which sentence has not yet been carried out.

The king, is a reference to Satan, since in times old, he was the only one who had been condemned, and for which this place was originally prepared.

And by the way, the real Lake of Fire, is not on or of this present earth or universe, but will be located someplace beyond our knowledge and existence, since our eternal life will not be encumbered with anything bad, and certainly not a place like the Lake of Fire.

Deep and wide, is a reference to the vast capacity, such that this place can receive a huge volume of garbage. The garbage of course will consist of unbelievers, and Satan, and so forth.

With fire and wood in abundance, indicates unlimited resources of fuel, such that the fires will never end, and the burning will never end, and the destruction will never end.

In the final phrase, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, kindles it, indicates that the breath of the Lord, being the perfect judgment of God, acts like air being blown over smoldering embers, igniting them into flames, and as with brimstone, of extreme intensity.

And the idea here is, the kindling, or the beginning of the fires, is started by the evil ones themselves. Evil, in effect is the cause of its own destruction.

Typically, the breath of God, is used to describe the spark of life, or the breath of life, and the same word, nashamah, is used in Genesis, to describe the spark of life or the breath of life, in Adam.

However here, instead of taking on life, which God breathes, evil uses that spark or breath, to bring about its own self-destruction.

Psalm 38:11


Copyright  2015 J. Neely
Psalm 38:11

11 My lovers ['ahab] and my friends [rea`] stand [`amad] aloof from [neged] my sore [nega`]; and my kinsmen [qarowb] stand [`amad] afar off [rachowq].   KJV-Interlinear

11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.  ESV

The word for lovers, ahab, refers to people that are closest to you, such as in intimacy or as family, such as brothers or sisters and such.

Friends, rea, refers to associates or fellow workers or people with which you have a regular relationship of some type.

Kinsman, qarowb, refers to neighbors, or those whom you know, but are not close at hand.

In other words, the impact on ones entire life, runs the entire range of social interaction, whether it be intimate or distant.

The sore, nega, is a reference to the infirmity whatever it is. It can be a sickness, a disease, an illness, an injury of some kind, an attitude, or whatever. But no matter what the infirmity is, it is bad enough to drive away everyone that is in your social periphery, either near or far.

And of course the spiritual lesson here, is that, spiritual decline or the absence of the spiritual life, will have an impact on your relationships, no matter what they are.

Not to say that the spiritual life will give you better relationships by default, because this is the Devils world, and other people have flaws also.

If you yourself have a poor quality spiritual life, then your relationships will be of poor quality, sooner or later.

Advancing in your spiritual life, gives you more discernment, helping you make better choices, and providing for you a better quality of life overall.

Psalm 38:10


Copyright  2015 J. Neely
Psalm 38:10

10 My heart [leb] panteth [cachar], my strength [koach] faileth [`azab] me: as for the light ['owr] of mine eyes [`ayin], it [hem] also is gone ['ayin] from me.   KJV-Interlinear

10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.   ESV

Life gives us many real-time experiences, that teach spiritual principles. Whether in parable form or symbolic form, we have to look at life in order to understand the things that are beyond this life.

When the spiritual life fails there is a sensation of panic or anxiety, of lost strength, and the failure to see things in their true reality.

The heart throbbing, is taken from the activities of a hustling traveler merchant who goes from place to place rapidly, seeking buyers for his wares. And this is an expression of the pain and distress as indicated by the rapidly beating heart, due to the uncertainty of the merchants future.

Failing strength, describes the weakness of physical strength as well as mental strength.

The light of the eyes, describes the failing ability to see and understand, and the confusion as to why things are the way they are.

And so the continued failure of the individuals life, due to the lack of spiritual resources, is being described.

Just as the physical body fails because of a poor diet, because of injury, because of sickness and disease, so too, the soul fails because of the lack of proper nourishment that is provided by a daily Bible study, and because of a lack of proper exercise that is provided by the application to ones life, of the Bible doctrine that is learned.

Most people pay attention to their physical life to some extent.

However, most people do not pay attention to the spiritual life.

And while physical and mental ailments are more than obvious in this life, likewise on the spiritual side of life, those ailments are not so obvious, but they are just as real, and even more so.

To ignore your spiritual life, to ignore your daily Bible study, to ignore your daily activity in the application of Bible doctrine to your life, will result in a failed life.





These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever. 

And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.  To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.

Romans 6:15

Copyright Ó 2015 J. Neely
Romans 6:15

15 What [tis] then [oun]? shall we sin [hamartano], because [hoti] we are [esmen] not [ou] under [hupo] the law [nomos], but [alla] under [hupo] grace [charis]? God forbid [me] [ginomai].   KJV-Interlinear

15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!  ESV

With freedom, comes responsibility and obligation. Just because we are free from sin with respect to our salvation, does not give us the right to pursue a life of sin. There are repercussions with respect to the quality of our life.

Jesus Christ went to the cross, and there He paid the price for sin. That price, or punishment, was what was accomplished on the cross. Forgiveness, was not a part of that package.

Forgiveness requires a recognition of ones fault, and the admission of that fault to God the Father. Thus we have the principle of confession. And this is taught in 1 John 1:9, which states if we confess our sins, then He forgives, etc.

The very first time we believed in Christ, that faith belief was automatically accompanied by the recognition of our sinfulness, and the need for a Savior. With salvation, we were automatically entered into fellowship with God.

After salvation, of course our life continues, and we commit sins, which removes us from fellowship with God. In order to recover that fellowship, we confess our sins. And that is a repetitive routine that we are mandated to abide by day by day throughout the rest of our life while we are here in this world.

The state of being in fellowship, is the environment in which our spiritual life functions.

And to complete our self, we need to be in fellowship while we pursue our spiritual life, through our daily study and application of Bible doctrine.

To sin, and therefore be out of fellowship, would prevent that advancement within the spiritual life.

Therefore, salvation does not give us the right to do anything we want, but more so places the responsibility and obligation on us for avoiding sin, and advancing in our spiritual life toward spiritual maturity.

The grace of God, is not the freedom to sin, but an opportunity to advance.





These studies, are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, that is easily accessible, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever. 

And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever.
