OT-PROPHET.filter - rwp Luke:15:32:

rwp@Acts:2:26 @{Was glad} (\uphranth\). First aorist (timeless here like the Hebrew perfect) passive indicative of \euphrain\ (cf. strkjv@Luke:15:32|). Timeless also is "rejoiced" (\galliasato\). {Shall dwell} (\katasknsei\). Shall tabernacle, pitch a tent, make one's abode (cf. strkjv@Matthew:13:32|). See on ¯Matthew:8:20| about \katasknseis\ (nests) {In hope} (\ep' elpidi\). On hope, the hope of the resurrection.

rwp@Luke:15:32 @{It was meet} (\edei\). Imperfect tense. It expressed a necessity in the father's heart and in the joy of the return that justifies the feasting. \Euphranthnai\ is used again (first aorist passive infinitive) and \charnai\ (second aorist passive infinitive) is more than mere hilarity, deep-seated joy. The father repeats to the elder son the language of his heart used in verse 24| to his servants. A real father could do no less. One can well imagine how completely the Pharisees and scribes (verse 2|) were put to silence by these three marvellous parables. The third does it with a graphic picture of their own attitude in the case of the surly elder brother. Luke was called a painter by the ancients. Certainly he has produced a graphic pen picture here of God's love for the lost that justifies forever the coming of Christ to the world to seek and to save the lost. It glorifies also soul-saving on the part of his followers who are willing to go with Jesus after the lost in city and country, in every land and of every race.

rwp@Revelation:11:10 @{They that dwell upon the earth} (\hoi katoikountes epi ts gs\). Present active articular participle of \katoike\, "an Apocalyptic formula" (Swete) for the non-Christian world (3:10; strkjv@6:10; strkjv@8:13; strkjv@13:8,12,14; strkjv@17:8|). {Rejoice} (\chairousin\). Present active indicative of \chair\. {Over them} (\ep' autois\). Locative (or dative) case with \epi\ as in strkjv@10:11|. {Make merry} (\euphrainontai\). Present middle indicative of \euphrain\, old verb (\eu, phrn\, jolly mind), as in strkjv@Luke:15:32; strkjv@Revelation:12:12; strkjv@18:20|. Jubilant jollification over the cessation of the activity of the two prophets. {They shall send gifts to one another} (\dra pempsousin alllois\). Future active of \pemp\ with dative \alllois\. Just as we see it done in strkjv@Esther:9:19,22; strkjv@Nehemiah:8:10,12|. {Tormented} (\ebasanisan\). First aorist active indicative of \basaniz\, for which see strkjv@9:5|. This is the reason (\hoti\) of the fiendish glee of Jew and Gentile, who no longer will have to endure the prophecies (11:3f.|) and dread miracles (11:5f.|) of these two prophets. "Such a sense of relief is perhaps not seldom felt today by bad men when a preacher of righteousness or a signal example of goodness is removed" (Swete).

rwp@Romans:15:10 @{Rejoice, ye Gentiles} (\euphranthte\). First aorist passive imperative of \euphrain\, old word from \eu\, well and \phrn\, mind. See strkjv@Luke:15:32|. Quotation from strkjv@Deuteronomy:32:43| (LXX).
