Ax head

 

The waters can’t hide the ax head forever!

Yah Yeshua will raise it up!

2Ki 6:5 LOGOS And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water. And he cried out, “Alas, master”; and it was hidden.

2Ki 6:5 KJV But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.

Perhaps the ax head was borrowed, but what is certain from context, is that the ax head was hidden beneath the water. The Hebrew word used in this context is Sheol, 7585 Strong’s, as defined below. This has a root meaning of an underground cavern or hole. And in this way is related to 8120 Shaal שעול [Isa 40:12] as defined below. And in the sense of Sheol or hell, it is asking for departed spirits to enter there. Asking, begging, demanding. As the hollow in the extended hand is asking to be filled {idea by Timothy Reza}, likewise, hell is asking for more departed spirits. According to Benner [AHLB], Sheol is the unknown thing or place, which is being asked about. Something unknown to enquire about. As things are hidden beneath the earth, in underground places. Like this ax which was hidden beneath the waters. Likewise, Sheol is expanding, as the balloon, which when stretched out, automatically pulls air into it. So Sheol is pulling departed spirits into it as it expands [Isa 5:14 below]. {Idea of Timothy Reza}

The context in Job 26:5-6, draws a picture of this place, which can only be viewed by looking at the Hebrew words, but here is the picture associated from it.

Departed Spirits twist in pain from under the waters, and their inhabitants, sheol/hell is naked before Him, and destruction has no covering. 

"The ghosts of the dead tremble beneath the water, with its creatures.  Sh'ol is naked before him; Abaddon lies uncovered."  (Complete Jewish Bible by David H. Stern).

Those in Sheol are hidden from the view of all mankind on earth, but they are all clearly visible to יהוה .  Notice also, that only those beneath the waters of paradise are in great pain. While those dwelling in the waters of paradise are dwelling in comfort. Compare these two sides of Sheol in Luke chapter 16 i.e. Lazarus and the rich man.

A look at the Hebrew root letters avails too much here:

Shiyn:(ש) two front teeth, as clearly visible when mouth open, then invisible when mouth closed, gate, door, from the covering and uncovering of the  front teeth. 

Ayin: (ע): The eye, eye of the landscape, from where flows the water, fountain

Lamed (ל): Shepherd staff represents the shepherd/angel who stands at the gate. 

Yeshua has the keys:

Rev 1:18 KJV  I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Rev 1:18 AEIB ודחי S6948  and He Who lived ודמיתא S11509  and He Who died הוית S5103  I am והא S4942  and behold חיא S6954  alive איתי S725  I am לעלם S15752  to the eternity עלמין S15762  of eternities אמין S1109  truly ואית S742  and is לי S10846  to me קלידא S18642  the key דמותא S11487  of Death ודשיול S21136  and of Sheol

Death represents the physical body in the grave, while Sheol/hell is the resting place of all departed spirits, or ghosts, as David Stern put it.  

Yah Yeshua will raise up both the physical body, and reunite it with the spirit, which He brings forth from Sheol.

שְׁאוֹל

, שְׁאֹל, com. (m. Job 26:6 f. Isa 5:14 14:9 ); orcus, hades, a subterranean place, full of thick darkness ( Job 10:21, 22 Job 10:22), in which the shades of the dead are gathered together (רְפָאִים which see), and to which are attributed both valleys [rather depths] ( Pro 9:18) and gates ( Isa 38:10); Gen 37:35 Num 16:30 (refs2), seqq., Psa 6:6 Isa 14:9 (refs2), seqq., 38:18 Eze 31:16, seqq., 32:21 , seqq. (Syr. ܫܺܝܘܽܠ f. and Eth. ሲኦል፡ hell, purgatory, limbus Patrum. I think that I have lighted on the true etymology of the word. For I have no doubt that שְׁאוֹל is for שְׁעוֹל a hollow, a hollow and subterranean place, just as the Germ. Hölle is of the same origin as Höhle, and Lat. cœlum is from the Gr. κοῖλος, hohl, hollow. It is commonly derived from the idea of asking, from its asking for, demanding all, without distinction; hence orcus rapax, Catull. ii. 28, 29.)
