Streets: Flowing after a path into a plaza
1. Streets: Flowing after a path into a plaza
The Greek language had few words for what today is called a "
street". The
KJV (King James Version) translates as "
street" words that often had other meanings.
Way: To follow "after" a "path" was a "method" and the source of the English word "method".
Traffic: A thoroughfare where there was movement and hustle and bustle and "flow" of traffic was one type of "street".
Place: A large "plaza" or open area, some with "corners", is often translated as "street".
One might need to find a "
path" through the "
flow" of "
traffic" through a "
plaza".

Saturday, July 17, 1966. Phillies vs. Dodgers. Sandy Koufax was Jewish and did not pitch on Saturdays (Sabbath). Chris Short threw a 2 hitter, Phillies got 6 hits, won 3-0 (LP Joe Moeller). There were not many hits (8 hits). Dad decided we could leave before the end of the second game (12 hits), which the Dodgers won, 3-1 (WP Claude Osteen, LP Phil Regan). Notice the pillars holding up the decks. One had to look around those pillars.
4. Elizabethtown trolley
At one time, the trolley went through the "
Diamond" square in Elizabethtown.

You don't know me but I'm your brother. I was raised here in this living hell.
You don't know my kind in your world. Fairly soon, the time will tell.
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me.
I ain't blind and I don't like what I think I see.

7. Method as a way to follow after a path
The ancient Greek word
"μέθοδος" ≈ "following after, pursuit" and can something positive as in a pursuit of knowledge or something negative as in a trick, ruse or snare. This word comes from two Greek words.
The ancient Greek word "μετά" ≈ "after".
The ancient Greek word "ὁδός" ≈ "road, way, path".
The "
following after" in the ancient Greek word was is that of "
following after a path" - to knowledge, to an ambush as in a trap, etc.
The Methodists were named for their many "
methods" of doing things.
Some pastors (and others) may insist that the Greek prefix "
meta" means "
changed" but the primary definition is that of "
after". Aristotle explains this meaning near the beginning of his book on physics.

8. Method
*G3180 *0 μεθοδεία (meth-od-i'-ah) : from a compound of G3326 and G3593 (compare "method"); travelling over, i.e. travesty (trickery):--wile, lie in wait.
In ancient (and modern) Greek, the pattern for words ending in «
ος» is that they are masculine. Some ancient Greek words such as «
μέθοδος» are feminine. This word appears
2 times in the
GNT (Greek New Testament), used by Paul in Ephesians to the church in Ephesus - a city familiar with methods of science, philosophy, military, etc.
The modern Greek word
"μέθοδος" (MEH-tho-thos) ≈ "method".

11. Planets as wandering stars
Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες εγω ειμι ο χριστος και πολλους πλανησουσιν [gnt]
How does a "
sheep" know if it has gone or is going "
astray"?
The ancient Greek word
"πλάνη" ≈ "wandering, roaming" and, figuratively,
"going astray" or
"in error". as in wandering off-target. The English word
"planet" comes from this Greek word as a shortened form of
"wandering star" since planets were considered wandering stars. The modern Greek word
"πλανήτης" (pla-NEE-tees) ≈ "planet".
Discuss: Consider the billions of people throughout the ages. Are the "
many" a few insurrectionists from the first century or so who led a few thousand followers?
12. Ephesians 4:14 Deceptions
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [kjv]
ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω της διδασκαλιας εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προς την μεθοδειαν της πλανης [gnt]
Paul talks of deception in various ways in Ephesians 4:14. The ancient Greek word
"μέθοδος" ≈ "following after, pursuit" and is used here for as "
deception". The
KJV translates this as
"lie in wait". Who are the "
they"?
The ancient Greek word
"πλάνη" ≈ "wandering, roaming" and, figuratively,
"going astray" or
"in error". as in wandering off-target.
The ancient Greek word
"πανοῦργος" ≈ "ready to try anything" and is often translated as
"crafty".
13. Ephesians 4:14 Play on words
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; [kjv]
ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω της διδασκαλιας εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προς την μεθοδειαν της πλανης [gnt]
The following is conducive to a play on words in the Greek. Paul appears to do this once in Ephesians 4:14. The Greek for "
doctrine" is that of "
teaching".
"ἄνεμος" ≈ "wind, breeze, gale" and often used in verses with Satin or the devil as "accuser" throwing/breathing accusations.
"ἄνομος" ≈ "without law" which could be "lawless", "impious", "unmusical", "illegal", etc.
English: ... carried about by every wind of teaching.
Play on words: ... carried about by every without-law teaching.
Any teaching that goes against "
Loving God" or "
Loving neighbor as yourself" would be "
without-law" or "
against-law".
14. Ephesians 4:14
KJV: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Greek: ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω της διδασκαλιας εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προς την μεθοδειαν της πλανης
15. Ephesians 6:11 Methods of the devil
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [kjv]
ενδυσασθε την πανοπλιαν του θεου προς το δυνασθαι υμας στηναι προς τας μεθοδειας του διαβολου [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"μέθοδος" ≈ "following after, pursuit".
The
"wiles of the devil" might be thought of as the
"methods of the devil" as in a trap to deceive those. In both cases in Ephesians, the word for
"method" is not used in a positive light. Deception has been an important part of military operations since time began.
This analogy would be familiar to any soldier of the time as deception was common in military operations. Alexander the Great made great use of deception since he usually had a much smaller force than his opponents. The Romans were deceived at a devastating ambush at Teuteburg Forest about 9 A.D.
16. Song: Stand up stand up for Jesus
The song "
Stand up stand up for Jesus" was written by George Duffield, Jr., after the death of Dudley Tyng from a farm accident during the Great Revival of 1858. One of Tyng's last words to his father: "
Tell my brethren of the ministry, wherever you meet them, to stand up for Jesus". Both Union and Confederate soldiers sang this song during the American Civil War.
Dudley Tyng preached on Exodus 10:11 right before his death. George Duffield based his funeral sermon and song on Ephesians 6:14.
17. Verse 1
Stand up, stand up for Jesus
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high his royal banner,
it must not suffer loss:
from vict'ry unto vict'ry
his army he shall lead,
'til ev'ry foe is vanquished,
and Christ is Lord indeed.
18. Verse 4
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor's song:
to him that overcometh
a crown of life shall be;
he with the King of glory
shall reign eternally.
19. Methodism
Throughout history, groups have been ridiculed using a given adjective and that group then takes that adjective as a badge of honor.
The Methodist church of the Reformation got its name, in part, because their followers had a "
method" for everything, which is still true in the United Methodist church today (which, having merged with the Evangelical United Brethren church in the 1960's, added "
United" to its name) .
The fellowship were branded as "Methodist" by their fellow students because of the way they used "rule" and "method" to go about their religious affairs. Wikipedia.

22. Acts 9:11 Street called straight
Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth, [kjv]
ο δε κυριος προς αυτον αναστα πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται [gnt]
There is a Greek word for
"directly" as in a
"straight line" and comes from that idea of geometry. The ancient Greek word
"εὐθέως" ≈ "immediately, at once, straightway" and can, depending on context, mean shortly or soon.
The city of Damascus had a street named
"straight" which still exists today. It was part of the main Roman road through that area, used for commerce, troop movement, etc. It was about a mile long (1500 meters). Paul stayed in a house on this street.
23. Acts 9:11
KJV: And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
Greek: ο δε κυριος προς αυτον αναστας αναστα πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται

Tyndale: And the lorde sayde to him: aryse and goo into the strete which is called strayght and seke in the housse of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde he prayeth
Luther: Der Herr sprach zu ihm: Stehe auf und gehe hin in die Gasse, die da heißet die Richtige, und frage in dem Hause Judas nach Saulus mit Namen von Tarsus; denn siehe, er betet
24. Automatic doors to a street
Acts 12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. [kjv]
διελθοντες δε πρωτην φυλακην και δευτεραν ηλθαν επι την πυλην την σιδηραν την φερουσαν εις την πολιν ητις αυτοματη αυτοις και εξελθοντες προηλθον ρυμην μιαν και ευθεως απεστη ο αγγελος απ αυτου [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"αὐτόματος" ≈ "self-willed, self-moving" and is the source of the English word
"automatic". The doors opened
"automatically" and led to a
"street" of
"hustle and bustle" which comes from
"ῥύμη" ≈ "force of a body in motion, charge of soldiers".
The
KJV translation of this verse is the source of some jokes that it involved a Honda
Accord (a model of car).
25. Acts 12:10
KJV: When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.

26. Matthew 6:2 Streets
Matthew 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
οταν ουν ποιης ελεημοσυνην μη σαλπισης εμπροσθεν σου ωσπερ οι υποκριται ποιουσιν εν ταις συναγωγαις και εν ταις ρυμαις οπως δοξασθωσιν υπο των ανθρωπων αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων [gnt]
By definition, a
"street" is a
"thoroughfare" with
"hustle and bustle" and will have
many people there to see what one is doing. An open area or
"plaza" (in the following set of verses) may not have many people there to see what one is doing.
The ancient Greek word
"ῥύμη" ≈ "force of a body in motion, charge of soldiers" and, only in the
GNT (four times) and once in the
LXX translated as "
street". The use in the
GNT and
LXX appears to be that of a
thoroughfare with
"hustle and bustle".
The word appears to have been at one time used as a "
street" in a military camp. Some similar sounding Greek words are the following.
"ῥῦμα" ≈ "that which is drawn" as in a bow and arrow.
"ῥῆμα" ≈ "spoken word".
"ῥεῦμα" ≈ "stream, flow, current".
27. Actors and pastors
It can be a mixed blessing to have a pastor with an acting background.
Actors speak of things imaginary as if they were real, while you preachers too often speak of things real as if they were imaginary. Thomas Betterton (English actor and theater manager during Restoration England) (1635-1710)
Actors (tend to) take an imaginary world and make it seem real.
Pastors (tend to) take a real world and make it seem imaginary.
With a pastor with an acting background, it can be hard at times to separate reality from fiction.
28. Matthew 6:2
KJV: Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Greek: οταν ουν ποιης ελεημοσυνην μη σαλπισης εμπροσθεν σου ωσπερ οι υποκριται ποιουσιν εν ταις συναγωγαις και εν ταις ρυμαις οπως δοξασθωσιν υπο των ανθρωπων αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων

Pearly Gates" originates. The Latin word
"margarita" ≈ "pearl" and comes from the ancient Greek word

Then I repented of my sins,
and won the victory.

and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to
victory,
beneath the cleansing flood.
48. Verse 3

And some sweet day I'll sing up there
