Eph 2:14-16/Col 2:14-15

### *Siyga ( סיגא / ܣܝܓܐ ) — The Fence Paul Destroyed — Eph 2:14 and Col 2:14* *English Bibles say Jesus destroyed "the middle wall of partition." Sounds like Temple wall in Jerusalem. Gentiles couldn't go past Court of Gentiles.* *Question: How would a stone wall in Jerusalem cause enmity in Ephesus? Ephesian Gentiles never made trip to Jerusalem. Never saw that wall.* *Paul was Pharisee. He used Pharisee word. Peshitta preserves it. Greek misses it.* *Word is Siyga ( סיגא / ܣܝܓܐ ) — Fence. Not wall of stones. Man-made fence around Torah.* *Avot 1:1 — Asu siyag laTorah ( עשו סיג לתורה / ܥܒܕܘ ܣܝܓܐ ܠܢܡܘܣܐ ) — Make a fence around Torah.* *That fence = halacha — man-made rules: Jew cannot eat with Gentile. Cannot eat meat cooked in Gentile pot. Wash hands this way. Sabbath carry this. Touch not, taste not. All siyga.* *That siyga was enmity. Not Torah. Torah is holy Rom 7:12.* #### *Eph 2:14-16 Full Context Peshitta* *Verse 14:* *Transliteration: Hu yu shlama dilan, haw d'abad tartaihon chad, w'shade syaga d'mets'ata d'qaima b'palgah.* *Aramaic ( ܗܘܝܘ ܫܠܡܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܬܪܬܝܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܘܫܕܐ ܣܝܓܐ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܘܬܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܒܦܠܓܐ )* *Hebrew ( הוא שלומנו הוא שעשה שניהם אחד ושדה סיגא דבציותא דקימא בפלגא )* *Translation: He is our peace, who made the two one, and destroyed the fence ( siyga / סיגא ) of enmity which stood in the middle.* *Verse 15:* *Transliteration: W'bapgareh shade be'eld-baba d'haw qyama, w'namosa d'phuqdane b'phuqdanawhi, d'men tartaihon nebra b'qnumeh chad barnasha chadta, w'abad shlama.* *Aramaic ( ܘܒܦܓܪܗ ܫܕܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܕܗܘ ܩܝܡܐ ܘܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܢ ܬܪܬܝܗܘܢ ܢܒܪܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܚܕ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܫܠܡܐ )* *Hebrew ( ובפגרה שדה בעלדבבותא דהו קימא ונמוסא דפקדנא בפקדנוהי דמן תרתייהון נברא בקנומה חד ברנשא חדתא ועבד שלמא )* *Translation: And in His flesh He destroyed the enmity which was standing, and the law of commandments BY HIS COMMANDMENTS — not its commandments — that from the two He might create in His qnoma ( קנומא / ܩܢܘܡܐ ) one new man, and made peace.* *Key: B'phuqdanawhi ( בפקדנוהי / ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ) = BY HIS COMMANDMENTS. Suffix -awhi = His. Masculine. Refers to Mashiyach. Not -eh = its (law's).* *If "its commandments" — Torah abolishes Torah? Nonsense. Breaks teaching.* *If "His commandments" — Clear. John 13:34 New commandment I give you. Matt 5:17-48 But I say unto you — His interpretation of Torah. That destroys enmity.* *Verse 16:* *Transliteration: W'nratse l'tarteyhon b'chad pagra l'alaha b'zaqipheh kad qtel be'eld-baba b'qnomeh.* *Aramaic ( ܘܢܪܨܐ ܠܬܪܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܚܕ ܦܓܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܙܩܝܦܗ ܟܕ ܩܛܠ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ )* *Hebrew ( וירצה לתרתייהון בחד פגרא לאלהא בזקיפה כד קטל בעלדבבותא בקנומה )* *Translation: And He reconciled the two in one body to God by His cross, when He killed the enmity in His qnoma.* *Fourfold destruction:* *1. His body ( pagreh / פגרה / ܦܓܪܗ )* *2. His cross ( zaqipheh / זקיפה / ܙܩܝܦܗ )* *3. His commandments ( phuqdanawhi / פקדנוהי / ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ )* *4. His qnoma ( qnomeh / קנומה / ܩܢܘܡܗ ) — human/divine nature united* *What destroyed? Siyga. Not Torah.* #### *Col 2:14-22 Full Context — Same Siyga* *Verse 14:* *Transliteration: W'mha b'phuqdanawhi l'ketab yada haw d'luqbal-an, haw d'iit haw be'eld-baba dilan, shaqleh men mets'ata w'naqshah l'zaqipheh.* *Aramaic ( ܘܡܚܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܠܟܬܒ ܝܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܘܩܒܠܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܫܩܠܗ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܐ ܘܢܩܫܗ ܠܙܩܝܦܗ )* *Hebrew ( ומחא בפקדנוהי לכתב ידא הוא דלוקבלן הוא דאית הוה בעלדבבותא דילן שקליה מן מצעתא ונכשיה לזקיפה )* *Translation: And blotted out by His commandments the handwriting of debt which was against us, which was opposed to us, He took it from the middle and nailed it to His cross.* *Again: B'phuqdanawhi ( בפקדנוהי / ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ) — By HIS commandments — debt blotted out. Not Torah blotted out. Debt note.* *Verse 15:* *Transliteration: W'bash-shalchat pagreh w'gali b'ayn b'pharsya l'arkhe w'l'shaltane w'bageh sharenun.* *Aramaic ( ܘܒܫܠܚܬ ܦܓܪܗ ܘܓܠܝ ܒܥܝܢ ܒܦܪܗܣܝܐ ܠܐܪܟܐ ܘܠܫܠܛܢܐ ܘܒܗ ܫܪܝܢܘܢ )* *Hebrew ( ובשלחות פגרה וגלי בעין בפרהסיא לארכא ולשלטנא ובה שרינון )* *Translation: And by stripping His body, He exposed openly the rulers and authorities and triumphed over them in it.* *Verse 16-17:* *Transliteration: La nesh dain l'bar-nasha yedun-khon b'mekholta w'b'meshtya aw b'phurshe d'yawmata aw b'yarcha aw b'shabbata, hallein d'iithon tilla d'meddamm d'atid, pagra dain d'mshikha.* *Aramaic ( ܠܐ ܢܐܫ ܕܝܢ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܝܕܘܢܟܘܢ ܒܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܒܡܫܬܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܦܘܪܫܐ ܕܝܘܡܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܐܘ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܛܠܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܦܓܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ )* *Hebrew ( לא אנש דין לברנשא ידונכון במאכולתא ובמשתיא או בפורשא דיומתא או בירחא או בשבתא הלין דאיתיהון טלא דמדם דעתיד פגרא דין דמשיחא )* *Translation: Let no man therefore judge you in food and in drink, or in divisions of days or in new moons or in Sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is Mashiyach's.* *Verse 20-22:* *Transliteration: En meeth-khon lew am mshikha men surane d'alma, mana mettadineen atton akh ilu hayeen atton b'alma, la teqrab, w'la tta'am, w'la t'tqash, hallein d'kulhen l'khusara ennon b'shemoshayhon, b'phuqdane w'b'yulpane d'bnei-anasha.* *Aramaic ( ܐܢ ܡܝܬܬܘܢ ܠܘ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܢ ܣܘܪܢܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܡܢܐ ܡܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܟ ܐܝܠܘ ܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܬܩܪܒ ܘܠܐ ܬܛܥܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܩܫ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܚܘܣܪܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܒܫܡܘܫܝܗܘܢ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ )* *Hebrew ( אן מיתתון לו עם משיחא מן סורנא דעלמא מנא מתדינין אנתון אך אילו חיין אנתון בעלמא לא תקרב ולא תטעם ולא תתקש הלין דכלהין לחוסרא אנין בשמושיהון בפקדנא וביולפנא דבנינשא )* *Translation: If you died with Mashiyach from the principles of the world, why are you judged as if living in world — Touch not, taste not, handle not? Which all perish in their using, by commandments and teachings of sons of men.* *There is siyga definition. Touch not, taste not, handle not. Man-made. Phuqdane w'yulpane d'bnei-anasha ( פקדנא ויולפנא דבנינשא / ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ) — commandments and doctrines of sons of men.* *Not Torah. Torah says don't eat pig Lev 11. That's God. Siyga says don't eat if Gentile touched bread. That's men.* *Paul says: That siyga — destroyed by His body, His cross, His commandments, His qnoma.* *Torah remains for Kingdom. Isa 2:3 — For out of Zion shall go forth Torah.* *Siyga gone forever.* --- *Clean format for app. Want me to make PDF?*

153 in Gematria

 Here's a rewritten and tightened version of the blog post draft I gave you earlier. I've kept all the key layers intact but woven in גדי (the young goat/kid = 17) prominently—pairing it beautifully with עגלים (calves/circles = 153) as the two bracketing springs in Ezekiel's vision. This makes the symmetry even clearer and stronger.The Hidden Geometry of 153: Fish, Sons of God, and Two Young AnimalsJohn 21 tells of a night of empty nets turned into an overwhelming catch: exactly 153 large fish, hauled in on the right side, the net miraculously unbroken.Why 153? For centuries this number has intrigued readers. It is no random detail. Layer by layer, Scripture reveals a stunning web of mathematics, gematria, and wordplay—all pointing to resurrection, cleansing, and the great end-time harvest of souls.1. 153 = The 17th Triangular Number153 is the sum of every integer from 1 to 17:1 + 2 + … + 17 = 153This makes it a perfect triangular number—one that forms an equilateral triang...

Old earth v young earth? Wrong question!

Old earth Verses  Young earth ### *Genesis 1: Restoration, Not Stopwatch*   *Young Earth vs Old Earth — What Scripture Actually Says* I’ve been told Genesis 1 settles the age of the earth. I’ve been told it proves “young earth” or proves “old earth.” After looking hard at the Hebrew, I’m convinced we’re asking the wrong question. *Genesis 1 isn’t a stopwatch. It’s a restoration record.* And if we miss that, we miss the point. #### *1. What we _can’t_ prove from Scripture* *Scripture doesn’t date dirt.* _Job 38:4_ *“Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?”* I wasn’t there. Neither were you. No verse says “the earth is 6,000 years old.” No verse says “the earth is 4.6 billion years old.”   *What Scripture _does_ date is man.* Genealogies from Adam put him ∼4,000 BC. _Luke 3:38_ *“Adam, which was the son of God.”* But Adam is not dirt. _Genesis 2:7_ *“the LORD God formed man of the dust.”* The dust was there first. *So “young earth vs old earth” i...

Replenish the earth

  Here's an integrated discussion that brings together all the insights we've covered: Genesis Chapter 1: A Narrative of Creation and Restoration Martin Luther's Interpretation: Martin Luther, in his theological expositions on Genesis, particularly in his lectures from 1535 to 1545, offered an interpretation that has resonated with some believers regarding the nature of the creation narrative. Luther suggested that the world described in Genesis 1:1 as being created by God was initially perfect. However, he interpreted Genesis 1:2, where it states the earth was "without form and void," as evidence of a subsequent destruction or change from this perfect state. This view implies that what follows in Genesis 1:3-31 is not merely creation but a divine act of restoration or refurbishment. Luther's focus was theological, emphasizing God's omnipotence and love in bringing order from chaos, rather than engaging with modern scientific debates. Hebrew Text and the N...
