Waltzing out of chains
1. Waltzing out of chains
What exactly does
"waltzing" have to do with chains? One broken link in a chain can cause serious issues to a theory, but here we are interested in physical chains.
The
"waltz" is a dance of
Bohemian origin from about 1800. Bohemia is a Slavic region in the Czech Republic near Bavaria. Literally,
Bohemia is the "
Land of the Bohe". The German name is Bayern, or Bavaria.
2. Bohemia
Bohemia is now part of the Czech Republic.
Bayern: German name
Bavaria: English name
Bohemia: Slavic and English name
The coat of arms for the Czech Republic contains the "
Crown of Wenceslas" (origin of the Christmas carol). The Czech name for "
Wenceslas" is "
Václav".
3. Matthew 28:2
Matthew 28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. [kjv]
και ιδου σεισμος εγενετο μεγας αγγελος γαρ κυριου καταβας εξ ουρανου και προσελθων απεκυλισεν τον λιθον και εκαθητο επανω αυτου [gnt]
… revolvit lapidem … [v]
… turnede … stoon… [wy]
… wälzte … Stein … [lu]
The German word
"walzen" (val-tsen) ≈ "to roll" came through French to the English
"waltz" as the dance gained popularity. The waltz is a three step dance so a pattern repeats (on the same foot) every 6 steps instead of every 2 or 4 steps.
The Luther German Bible uses
"wälzte" for the rolling away of the stone on Resurrection Sunday.
4. Matthew 28:2
KJV: And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Greek: και ιδου σεισμος εγενετο μεγας αγγελος γαρ κυριου καταβας εξ ουρανου και προσελθων απεκυλισεν τον λιθοναπο της θυρας και εκαθητο επανω αυτου
Latin: et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidem et sedebat super eum
Wycliffe: And lo! ther was maad a greet ertheschakyng; for the aungel of the Lord cam doun fro heuene, and neiyede, and turnede awei the stoon, and sat theron.
Luther: Und siehe, es geschah ein groß Erdbeben. Denn der Engel des Herrn kam vom Himmel herab, trat hinzu und wälzte den Stein von der Tür und setzte sich darauf.
5. Luke 24:2
Luke 24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. [kjv]
ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου [gnt]
… lapidem revolutum … [v]
… turned awei … [wy]
… rouled awaye … [ty]
… abgewälzet … [lu]
6. Luke 24:2
KJV: And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
Greek: ευρον δε τον λιθον αποκεκυλισμενον απο του μνημειου
Latin: et invenerunt lapidem revolutum a monumento
Wycliffe: And thei founden the stoon turned awei fro the graue.
Tyndale: And they founde the stone rouled awaye fro the sepulcre
Luther: Sie fanden aber den Stein abgewälzet von dem Grabe
7. Acts 12:7 Peter in prison
Acts 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. [kjv]
και ιδου αγγελος κυριου επεστη και φως ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξας δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσαν αυτου αι αλυσεις εκ των χειρων [gnt]
… velociter … catenae … [v]
… swiftli… cheynes … [wy]
… quyckly… cheynes … [ty]
… Ketten … [lu]
So what does the
"waltz" have to do with chains. There are (at least)
two types of chains in the Bible, those that lawfully or mentally bind and those that physically bind. Here we are interested in physical chains.
The first instance is when Peter is in prison by Herod and an angel releases him from his chains during the night.
8. Acts 12:7
KJV: And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Greek: και ιδου αγγελος κυριου επεστη και φως ελαμψεν εν τω οικηματι παταξας δε την πλευραν του πετρου ηγειρεν αυτον λεγων αναστα εν ταχει και εξεπεσον εξεπεσαν αυτου αι αλυσεις εκ των χειρων
Latin: et ecce angelus Domini adstitit et lumen refulsit in habitaculo percussoque latere Petri suscitavit eum dicens surge velociter et ceciderunt catenae de manibus eius
Wycliffe: And lo! an aungel of the Lord stoode nyy, and liyt schoon in the prisoun hous. And whanne he hadde smyte the side of Petre, he reiside hym, and seide, Rise thou swiftli. And anoon the cheynes felden doun fro hise hoondis.
Tyndale: And beholde the angell of ye Lorde was there present and a lyght shyned in the lodge. And smote Peter on the syde and steryd him vp sayinge: aryse vp quyckly. And his cheynes fell of fro his hondes.
Luther: Und siehe, der Engel des Herrn kam daher, und ein Licht schien in dem Gemach; und schlug Petrus an die Seite und weckte ihn auf und sprach: Stehe behende auf! Und die Ketten fielen ihm von seinen Händen.

11. Catenary curve
Mathematically, the catenary curve is the graph of the hyperbolic cosine function. Wikipedia.
Another name for a "
catenary" is an "
alysoid" from the Greek word for chain.
From the Latin word, the mathematical equation called a "
catenary" is name as the shape a chain (or rope) takes when suspended between two points. Power lines take this shape, as do parts of spider webs. A catenary curve appears somewhat like a parabola, but is not exactly a parabola shape.
President Thomas Jefferson is credited with naming the "
catenary" curve.
12. Hyperbolic cosine function
In optics and electromagnetics, the hyperbolic cosine and sine functions are basic solutions to Maxwell's equations. Wikipedia.

18. Greek digamma
In ancient times, Greek had a letter "
Ϝ" called digamma that disappeared and that had the sound of an English "
v" or "
w".
Ϝ ϝ Ϛ ς
The Greek digamma corresponds to the English "
F" and had an "
f" or "
v" or "
w". As it was not needed for sound value, it disappeared except for it's numeric value of six (
6).
