Dict: easton - Man

easton:

Man @

(1.) Heb. 'Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning "to be red," and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race kjv@Genesis:1:26-27 kjv@Genesis:5:2 kjv@Genesis:8:21 ; kjv@Deuteronomy:8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos kjv@Matthew:5:13 kjv@Matthew:5:16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman kjv@Genesis:3:12; kjv@Matthew:19:10).

(2.) Heb. 'ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman ( kjv@1Samuel:17:33; kjv@Matthew:14:21); a husband kjv@Genesis:3:16; kjv@Hosea:2:16); man with reference to excellent mental qualities.

(3.) Heb. 'enosh, man as mortal, transient, perishable ( kjv@2Chronicals:14:11; kjv@Isaiah:8:1; kjv@Job:15:14; kjv@Psalms:8:4 kjv@Psalms:9:19-20 kjv@Psalms:103:15 ). It is applied to women kjv@Joshua:8:25).

(4.) Heb. geber, man with reference to his strength, as distinguished from women kjv@Deuteronomy:22:5) and from children kjv@Exodus:12:37); a husband kjv@Proverbs:6:34).

(5.) Heb. methim, men as mortal kjv@Isaiah:41:14), and as opposed to women and children kjv@Deuteronomy:3:6; kjv@Job:11:3; kjv@Isaiah:3:25). Man was created by the immediate hand of God, and is generically different from all other creatures kjv@Genesis:1:26-27 kjv@Genesis:2:7). His complex nature is composed of two elements, two distinct substances, viz., body and soul kjv@Genesis:2:7; kjv@Ecclesiastes:12:7; kjv@2Corinthians:5:1-8). The words translated "spirit" and "soul," in kjv@1Thessalonians:5:23, kjv@Hebrews:4:12, are habitually used interchangeably kjv@Matthew:10:28 kjv@Matthew:16:26; kjv@1Peter:1:22). The "spirit" (Gr. pneuma) is the soul as rational; the "soul" (Gr. psuche) is the same, considered as the animating and vital principle of the body. Man was created in the likeness of God as to the perfection of his nature, in knowledge kjv@Colossians:3:10), righteousness, and holiness kjv@Ephesians:4:24), and as having dominion over all the inferior creatures kjv@Genesis:1:28). He had in his original state God's law written on his heart, and had power to obey it, and yet was capable of disobeying, being left to the freedom of his own will. He was created with holy dispositions, prompting him to holy actions; but he was fallible, and did fall from his integrity (3:1-6). (

Man of sin @ a designation of Antichrist given in kjv@2Thessalonians:2:3-10, usually regarded as descriptive of the Papal power; but "in whomsoever these distinctive features are found, whoever wields temporal and spiritual power in any degree similar to that in which the man of sin is here described as wielding it, he, be he pope or potentate, is beyond all doubt a distinct type of Antichrist."
