Ten Pin: Node 6
1. Ten Pin: Node 6
This content is being developed.
2. Ten Pin: Node 6
There are many Ten Pin sequences in the Bible, both in the
GNT (Greek New Testament) and the
LXX (Septuagint).
This is
node 6 of
young "
goats" a play on words of "
voicing" "
invalid logic", in the "
wide area", a play on words of "
the boats".
3. Other node 6 verses
Sheep led astray (sold into slavery).
Unforgiving servant.
Parable of the Talents
Day 6: animals and humans
4. Node 6: Misleading words of the wolf-dogs
Tradition is of
node 6. Parents. The merchant man tries to buy (into slavery) pearls to his side to own them. The millstone deception has a similar goal.
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. [kjv]

5. Matthew 18:6 Play on words
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. [kjv]
ος δ αν σκανδαλιση ενα των μικρων τουτων των πιστευοντων εις εμε συμφερει αυτω ινα κρεμασθη μυλος ονικος περι τον τραχηλον αυτου και καταποντισθη εν τω πελαγει της θαλασσης [gnt]
6. Matthew 13:46 Selling out all of the pearl
Matthew 13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. [kjv]
ευρων δε ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον [gnt]
There are many similarities (words, ideas, etc.) that relate the parable of the unforgiving servant and the merchant man and pearl.
Greek (with similarities):
finding then one very valuable/honored pearl, (the merchant) went and sold/betrayed/traditioned (into slavery, via the millstone deception) all as much as it (the pearl) had and (thereby deceptively) bought/owned it (the pearl as a follower of the merchant).
Both verses, in the context of the Ten Pin model, are of someone trying to entice/entrap someone from the true treasure in the field (living bread, Holy Spirit, Sabbath, etc.) in node 4 to the tradition node (honor parents) in node 6 on their way to the killing node 6.
7. Great merchants of the earth
Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: [kjv]
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων εμπορω ζητουντι καλους μαργαριτας [gnt]
Revelation 18:23 … for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. [kjv]
και φως λυχνου ου μη φανη εν σοι ετι και φωνη νυμφιου και νυμφης ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι οτι οι εμποροι σου ησαν οι μεγιστανες της γης οτι εν τη φαρμακεια σου επλανηθησαν παντα τα εθνη [gnt]
Jesus explains some parable words in Revelation. A
"merchant man" is a
"great one of the earth" who is involved in some "
business" of buying and selling.
A business need not make money. It could be selling ideas, salvation, etc. There are (at least) two Greek words to "
sell" something.
Not used here: Sell oneself for something as a sparrow, Jesus (on the cross), etc.
Used here: Sell something as a business opportunity to make a profit of some form.
8. Revelation 3:7-8 Verses with Greek
Revelation 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; [kjv]
και τω αγγελω της εν φιλαδελφεια εκκλησιας γραψον ταδε λεγει ο αγιος ο αληθινος ο εχων την κλειν δαυιδ ο ανοιγων και ουδεις κλεισει και κλειων και ουδεις ανοιγει [gnt]
3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. [kjv]
οιδα σου τα εργα ιδου δεδωκα ενωπιον σου θυραν ηνεωγμενην ην ουδεις δυναται κλεισαι αυτην οτι μικραν εχεις δυναμιν και ετηρησας μου τον λογον και ουκ ηρνησω το ονομα μου [gnt]
9. Revelation 3:9-10 Verses with Greek
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. [kjv]
ιδου διδω εκ της συναγωγης του σατανα των λεγοντων εαυτους ιουδαιους ειναι και ουκ εισιν αλλα ψευδονται ιδου ποιησω αυτους ινα ηξουσιν και προσκυνησουσιν ενωπιον των ποδων σου και γνωσιν οτι εγω ηγαπησα σε [gnt]
3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. [kjv]
οτι ετηρησας τον λογον της υπομονης μου καγω σε τηρησω εκ της ωρας του πειρασμου της μελλουσης ερχεσθαι επι της οικουμενης ολης πειρασαι τους κατοικουντας επι της γης [gnt]
10. Revelation 3:11-12 Verses with Greek
Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. [kjv]
ερχομαι ταχυ κρατει ο εχεις ινα μηδεις λαβη τον στεφανον σου [gnt]
3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. [kjv]
ο νικων ποιησω αυτον στυλον εν τω ναω του θεου μου και εξω ου μη εξελθη ετι και γραψω επ αυτον το ονομα του θεου μου και το ονομα της πολεως του θεου μου της καινης ιερουσαλημ η καταβαινουσα εκ του ουρανου απο του θεου μου και το ονομα μου το καινον [gnt]

12. Revelation 18:23 Wandering
Revelation 18:23 … for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. [kjv]
και φως λυχνου ου μη φανη εν σοι ετι και φωνη νυμφιου και νυμφης ου μη ακουσθη εν σοι ετι οτι οι εμποροι σου ησαν οι μεγιστανες της γης οτι εν τη φαρμακεια σου επλανηθησαν παντα τα εθνη [gnt]
"πλανηθῇ" ≈ "go astray".
"πραθῆναι" ≈ "to be sold (into slavery)".
"πλάνη" ≈ "wander, roam" and "ναι" ≈ "yes"
How might
"all" the
"peoples" have been led
"astray"? Might they have been
"sold (into slavery)"
13. Matthew 5:8 B6 Blessed are the pure in heart
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. [kjv]
μακαριοι οι καθαροι τη καρδια οτι αυτοι τον θεον οψονται [gnt]
beati mundo corde … videbunt [v]
Ivory Soap is
99.44% pure and it
floats! That specific number appears to have resulted due to a rounding error in calculations that was then adopted as part of a marketing slogan. [chaos theory]
In the Beatitudes, Jesus talks about the
"pure" or
"clean" in
"heart" and
"seeing" God.
What does it mean to be "pure" or "clean" in "heart"?
What does it mean to "see" God?
It appears that
"pure" in
"heart" refers to not having any ulterior motives used to do "
evil" as in "
oppress" others.
The important words are
"blessed",
"pure",
"heart" and
"see"
This should be answered in the sense of the Beatitudes and not in a general or otherwise sense.
14. Matthew 5:11 Fish
Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [kjv]
μακαριοι εστε οταν ονειδισωσιν υμας και διωξωσιν και ειπωσιν παν πονηρον καθ υμων ψευδομενοι ενεκεν εμου [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"διώκω" ≈ "pursue" in the sense of
"going after" or, in
context,
"persecuting".
The "
birds" (leaders) have recruited the "
fish" to do the "
calling". The word "
men" is inferred. The "
saying" or "
calling" appears to be from the "
inside" and not the "
outside". Just "
saying"!
Are those now "persecuting" or "pursuing" the same that were doing the "walking"?
Are these the same "men" that were doing the "walking"?
Now they are doing the "talking" and not just the "walking".

These boots are made for walkin'. Written by Lee Hazlewood and recorded by Nancy Sinatra, single in 1966.
15. Matthew 6:5 Prayer acting in a corner
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
και οταν προσευχησθε ουκ εσεσθε ως οι υποκριται οτι φιλουσιν εν ταις συναγωγαις και εν ταις γωνιαις των πλατειων εστωτες προσευχεσθαι οπως φανωσιν τοις ανθρωποις αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων [gnt]
The Greek word for
"prayer" as a
"request" appears
four times in
four verses in Matthew 6:5-8, right
before the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 5:9-13.
The word translated as "hypocrite" means "acting" or "pretending".
The word translated as "reward" is a play on words with "hate".
16. Matthew 6:5 Prayer acting in a corner
Matthew 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]

The Greek word for
"prayer" as a
"request" appears
four times in
four verses in Matthew 6:5-8, right
before the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 5:9-13.
The word translated as "hypocrite" means "acting" or "pretending".
The word translated as "reward" is a play on words with "hate".
17. Matthew 6:6 A storehouse of secret chambers: praying in the closet
Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. [kjv]
The following ancient Greek words are related.
"ταμεῖον" ≈ "storehouse, storeroom"
"ταμιεῖον" ≈ "storehouse, storeroom"
"ταμιεύω" ≈ "run a household, look after stores".
The word appears in the
GNT four times and a similar word eleven times in the
LXX. The
KJV (King James Version) translates this word in the
GNT several ways.
closet (2)
secret chambers (1)
storehouse (1)
Sometimes the word used in a literal sense, sometimes in a figurative sense and sometimes both ways at the same time.
Despite the explanation given by Strongs, It is not clear where this meaning originated. The English word
"closet" is, through French, from the Latin word
"clausum" ≈ "enclosed space" as in "
claustrophobia",
18. Matthew 6:6 A storehouse of secret chambers: praying in the closet

19. Matthew 6:7-8 Vain repetitions of vain repetitions
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. [kjv]
προσευχομενοι δε μη βατταλογησητε ωσπερ οι εθνικοι δοκουσιν γαρ οτι εν τη πολυλογια αυτων εισακουσθησονται [gnt]
orantes autem nolite multum loqui sicut ethnici putant enim quia in multiloquio suo exaudiantur [v]
In Matthew 6:7, as part of the "
Sermon on the Mount", Jesus says not to pray using
"vain repetitions" as the "
heathen" do.
This is a specific instance of the idea that "
if some is good then more is better". Some pastors (and others) boast that as a child (or even now) they repeat the Lord's Prayer every night.
A few verses later is the "
Lord's Prayer" which, as an example, does not have repetitions within itself, but could be repeated at different times.
Some pastor appear to think that they get "
paid by the word" according to quantity and not quality. At times producing meaningless or even deceptive content, they may lecture their congregations about trying to keep the pastor to any time schedule.
20. Verses with Greek
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. [kjv]
προσευχομενοι δε μη βατταλογησητε ωσπερ οι εθνικοι δοκουσιν γαρ οτι εν τη πολυλογια αυτων εισακουσθησονται [gnt]
6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. [kjv]
μη ουν ομοιωθητε αυτοις οιδεν γαρ ο θεος ο πατηρ υμων ων χρειαν εχετε προ του υμας αιτησαι αυτον [gnt]
21. Matthew 6:16-18 The appearance of fast food disappearing
Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; [kjv]
6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. [kjv]
Are we to "fast"? Does "when" mean that we are supposed to do what is part of the "when"?
The word translated "reward" in verse 16 is a different Greek word than the one translated the same way in verse 18.
22. Matthew 6:16-18 Verses
Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
οταν δε νηστευητε μη γινεσθε ως οι υποκριται σκυθρωποι αφανιζουσιν γαρ τα προσωπα αυτων οπως φανωσιν τοις ανθρωποις νηστευοντες αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων [gnt]
6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; [kjv]
συ δε νηστευων αλειψαι σου την κεφαλην και το προσωπον σου νιψαι [gnt]
6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. [kjv]
οπως μη φανης τοις ανθρωποις νηστευων αλλα τω πατρι σου τω εν τω κρυφαιω και ο πατηρ σου ο βλεπων εν τω κρυφαιω αποδωσει σοι [gnt]
Let us back up a few verses for context.
23. Matthew 7:13-14 Gates
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: [kjv]
εισελθατε δια της στενης πυλης οτι πλατεια και ευρυχωρος η οδος η απαγουσα εις την απωλειαν και πολλοι εισιν οι εισερχομενοι δι αυτης [gnt]
7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. [kjv]
οτι στενη η πυλη και τεθλιμμενη η οδος η απαγουσα εις την ζωην και ολιγοι εισιν οι ευρισκοντες αυτην [gnt]
Spoonerisms:
"through the" and "what hell".
"narrow" and "fasting".
"gate" and "annoyance/distress".
24. Matthew 7:15 Paraphrase
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [kjv]
προσεχετε απο των ψευδοπροφητων οιτινες ερχονται προς υμας εν ενδυμασιν προβατων εσωθεν δε εισιν λυκοι αρπαγες [gnt]
Paraphrase: .
Pay attention from

inwardly but they are [

ravenous [

Note: There are
not a lot of choices for play on words. Perhaps it is just a coincidence.
25. Matthew 7:15 Non-verbal communication
Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. [kjv]

Jesus now continues with some decision procedures about how to determine the difference between
"sheep" and
"wolves".
26. Matthew 7:16 Paraphrase
Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? [kjv]
απο των καρπων αυτων επιγνωσεσθε αυτους μητι συλλεγουσιν απο ακανθων σταφυλας η απο τριβολων συκα [gnt]
Might this suggest that the
"wolves" or
"birds" may
"burn" you in getting their
"figs" from
"thistles"?
Greek word order:
from of the fruit of them (wolves) (you) will know them (wolves) so that nothing [skill, counsel, plan] (they - wolves) together will collect/gather from (of the) thorns grapes or from (of the) thistles figs
27. Matthew 7:22 Three claims to greatness
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [kjv]
πολλοι ερουσιν μοι εν εκεινη τη ημερα κυριε κυριε ου τω σω ονοματι επροφητευσαμεν και τω σω ονοματι δαιμονια εξεβαλομεν και τω σω ονοματι δυναμεις πολλας εποιησαμεν [gnt]
The following are claimed to have been done
with respect to His name.
prophesied
cast out devils
done many potentialities
Some churches boast of the great work they have done for the community, without mention of any preaching of the "
Good News" or other Christian connection.
Some may say that they are carrying the light to the world. The name "
Lucifer" means "
carrying light" so one must be careful as to the light one is carrying.
28. Matthew 7:22 Pearls of invalid logic
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [kjv]
πολλοι ερουσιν μοι εν εκεινη τη ημερα κυριε κυριε ου τω σω ονοματι επροφητευσαμεν και τω σω ονοματι δαιμονια εξεβαλομεν και τω σω ονοματι δυναμεις πολλας εποιησαμεν [gnt]
Who is
"them"?
This is
node 6 of
young "
goats" a play on words of "
voicing" "
invalid logic", in the "
wide area", a play on words of "
the boats".
29. Appropriate behavior in heaven and on earth
Are being "
seen" of men for "
praise", and using "
vain repetitions" the "
will" of the
Father? Should we pray about the "
will" of the
Father, both for ourselves and others?
Pray;
Let your will as done by others (including the religious elite) be on earth as it is done in heaven.
30. Matthew 6:10 Will be done on earth as in heaven
31. Prisoners
The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison. Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881), author of
Crime and punishment.
Russian name: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский (1821-1881)
Analogy:
The best way to keep people separated (rooted up, loosed, judged) from the love of Christ is to not let them know they have separated themselves from the love of Christ. One way:
Convince the people that nothing can separate them from the love of Christ. Therefore, they do not need to worry about anything.
Many are "
happy" in the "
abyss", "
pit", "
ditch", "
wide area" as in
better/bitter together,
all in the same boat/vote, etc.
Discuss: Has has the modern cell phone become a prison? Is there a tribulation pressure? How about peer pressure?

35. To see a timely prison watch
Matthew 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. [kjv]
ισθι ευνοων τω αντιδικω σου ταχυ εως οτου ει μετ αυτου εν τη οδω μηποτε σε παραδω ο αντιδικος τω κριτη και ο κριτης τω υπηρετη και εις φυλακην βληθηση [gnt]
The
ancient Greek word
"φυλακή" ≈ "watch, prison" where
"prison" was one way to be
"watched". The Greek word is the source of the English word
"prophylactic".
14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. [kjv]
τεταρτη δε φυλακη της νυκτος ηλθεν προς αυτους περιπατων επι την θαλασσαν [gnt]
Jesus wants believers to "
walk" in "
righteousness" in the "
sea" of "
humanity" and be "
fishers" of "
men" and
not "
fishers" of "
pigs" or "
birds".
The
modern Greek word
"φυλακή" (fee-la-KEE) ≈ "watch, prison".
36. Matthew 18:30 Prison watch
37. Matthew 18:30 Prison watch
38. Acts 26:22 Epicureans
Acts 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: [kjv]
επικουριας ουν τυχων της απο του θεου αχρι της ημερας ταυτης εστηκα μικρω τε και μεγαλω ουδεν εκτος λεγων ων τε οι προφηται ελαλησαν μελλοντων γινεσθαι και μωυσης [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἐπικουρία" ≈ "help, aid" and is used by Paul as a play on words of the Greek philosopher
"Ἐπίκουρος " ≈ "Epicurus" (341-270 BC).
Did Paul first become a "
friend" of those to whom he was "
witnessing"?
Epicurus advocated having "friends" to "help" you and being "self-sufficient".
Paul advocates getting "help" from God.
39. Matthew 7:16 Great grapes
40. Matthew 5:26 The last farthing
41. Usage - pay
*G591 *48 ἀποδίδωμι (ap-od-eed'-o-mee) : from G575 and G1325; to give away, i.e. up, over, back, etc. (in various applications):--deliver (again), give (again), (re-)pay(-ment be made), perform, recompense, render, requite, restore, reward, sell, yield.
The car had a flat tire. There was a fork in the road!
The
ancient Greek word
"ἀποδίδωμι" ≈ "give back, render what is due, return" and many other associated meanings.
The Greek word translated as
"pay" is that of, literally,
"turning over" as in the saying
"fork it over". This exact form of the word appears two times in the
GNT. The Luke verse in what people remembered about what Jesus said as recorded by Matthew.
Matthew 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. [kjv]
