More than three hundred detailed word studies, supplemented with hundreds of shorter word studies, comprise the derivations. These studies reveal a remarkable infrastructure in Scripture that spans the entire Bible. This book shows that the Holy Spirit recorded history so that it also tells the future. These hidden prophecies not sensational: They do not predict assassinations, nuclear wars, or the date of the Rapture. However, these messages do tell about both of Christ's advents, the Rapture, the Tribulation, and eternity for believers and unbelievers.
The overarching Message in this book is the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A holy, loving God created man. Man sinned. Because God is holy, sins separate people from Him. Because God is loving, He sent His Son to die on a cross, bearing the sins of all. Jesus rose from the grave. Believing this, and dying to one's own sin nature, allows one to partake of God's heart-changing grace by faith. All who believe this and abide in Christ will know God's mercy and spend eternity in His presence. This is the Gospel (that is, the good news).
No prior knowledge of Hebrew is necessary to benefit from the word studies. Novices and pastors will find this book to be a useful supplement for Bible study and personal devotions. When possible, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek words were numerically coded with the system used in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. This book's alphanumeric concordance and Scripture index will help readers to find discussions that concern specific words or passages of interest.
