DELAY IS NOT DENIAL (five)

For four gruelling days of mental discomfort, the family of the deceased Lazarus continued to ask, “Why us; where is Jesus, the supposedly Friend of our dear brother?” Questions that refused to supply some meaningful answers. God must do things in style. When He eventually showed up –God always shows up to people of faith—, Jesus told them what they never knew of Him, “I am the resurrection, and the life.” Verse 40 reads, “Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” The Author of soteriology took them back to the day of old, the day when as the Visitant He ask of Abraham’s understanding, "Is any thing too hard for the LORD" [Genesis 18:14]?Read More

The word ‘spoken’ in the first verse is dâbar (daw-bar'): ‘to arrange; used figuratively (of words) to speak; speech, word, speaking, thing.’ It is very important to note that the words ‘any thing’ of Genesis 18:14 and ‘spoken’ of Genesis 21:1 mean the same thing.

This is what the Greek rendition of 'nothing shall be impossible' is: "There is not anything spoken by the mouth of God that shall be impossible for Him to perform." The truth is that, Gabriel uttered the self-same words of the LORD God, "Is any thing too hard for the LORD?" [Genesis 18:14] in His visitation to Abraham’s family. This was the LORD’s query when Sarah laughed, saying, "Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old" [Genesis 18:13]? Now, 'any thing,' the Hebrew dâbâr (daw-baw'), is a masculine noun: BDB Definition: 'speech, word, speaking, thing, saying, utterance.' Strong's Definition: 'a word; by implication a matter (as spoken of) of thing.' This the Hebraic rendition of "Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" היפלא מיהוה דבר and the transliteration is hayippale meihovah dabar, with the English translation: “Shall a word (or thing) be wonderful from the Lord? i.e., Can any thing be too great a miracle for him to effect?'Read More
