I have been attending a Hebrew Language class. I thought Jack’s Stuff only learns Cwalk, now he even learns Hebrew Language! Crazy man! If you can read the Hebrew words in the picture below, you are crazily fantastic!
My Hebrew Oral Exam... (Gosh!)
As we were listening to History of Hebrew, Hebrew is one of the earliest languages during Noah’s time. Hebrew Language is written from right to left. If we read the text from left to right, we will never understand the meaning. Most of the people might think Christianity is from the Caucasians. Before I am a Christian, I always thought the original language of the Bible is English. Christianity is originally from Jewish.
During the time of Noah, there was only one language. Yet now we have thousands of different languages in this world. How can it be?
Genesis 11: 1, 4, 8 - 9
“Now the whole world had one language and a common speech…
Then they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may have a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the earth.’…
So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel (confused) – because there the Lord confused the languages of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”
Chinese language is also one of the earliest languages after the tower of Babel. Look at this word.
Genesis 7:13 tells us: "On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark."
How could the Chinese know about Noah having eight members in his family during the time of flood if they were not one of those people who were separated from Tower of Babel? Look again.
This is only one example. There are thousands more examples!
The books in Old Testament were written in Hebrew Language. Some of the books in New Testament were written in Greek; some were in Hebrew. Very interesting! The people of God in early days used Hebrew language to communicate with one another. I cannot believe that I am learning a language which our Lord, Jesus Christ used to speak when He was on this earth.
Doing my assignments while editing video clip for CWC
Written on 8 February 2009
5 February was really my busy day. From Monday to Thursday, I had not stopped doing research about my studies. I am doing nine subjects for this semester: New Testament, World Religion, Hebrews Language, History of Christianity, Homiletics, Asian Church Music, Research Methodology, Music Theory, and Field Education (Research on Weekly performance in church). Altogether, I have more than 5000 pages to read in order to fulfill the task of the reading program. It is a compulsory program, considered as one of the assignments. Once I accomplish my reading program, the chances of passing the subjects will be higher.
On 5 February, I woke up at 6am to revise “Romans”; 7:40am New Testament class; 8:35am Research Methodology; 9:30am Assembly for STS students; 11am Research on world religion; 12:30pm lunch time. Wow! I was so glad to return back home during lunch time. Immediately, without hesitation, SHOWER first! After the shower, I went into my room, drying my hair, sitting down on bed, preparing to study World Religion, taking up my phone. Then I saw a SMS…
“…our grandma just passed away today…”
A long period of silence… Staring at the SMS, and read it a few times… Heart pumping fast… “No! It’s too sudden! It’s too…”
Unexpected…?
7 February 2009 was my grandma’s funeral service. That’s the first time I experience that one of my relatives passed away. My mother was mourning bitterly, profusely… I was standing besides her, giving her the most caring support; comforting, hugging my mother. This is also the first time that I saw my mother mourning so bitterly. When I looked at my grandma in the coffin, tears just filled up my whole eyes, though it didn’t drop. My mother kept on talking to her mother, lying dead in coffin. I really had nothing to say. My youngest sister was patting on my left shoulder when she saw the tears in my eyes.
Ephesians 6:1 – 2
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this right. ‘Honor your father and mother’ – which is the first commandment with a promise.”
My mother and her sisters were regretting that they didn’t spend much time with their mother, though they love her dearly. From that time onwards, I truly understand what it means “spending quality time with parents”.
Readers, we only have one mother who gives birth to us. We only have one father whom we share the same family blood type. Please cherish our parents whenever we have time to accompany them. Don’t focus on our life too personally. Our parents need us too. From now, I will always give most of my time to my parents especially my mother whenever I have a chance to meet them. As you know my life, studying and serving at same time, my time with my parents is scarce. Whenever there’s a chance to meet them, that quality time with my parents is absolutely precious to me.
Heavenly Father, thanks for being with us all the time, even though sometimes we only look for our own interests. God, forgive us for sometimes we ignored Your presence.
Praise the Lord for your parents are still nagging and scolding you now.
Cherish these precious moments.
Cherish our father and mother.
