Definitely, this is a rather frightening word to start a list with. However, the word “apocalypse” isn’t as dark and scary as it is in terms of Biblical definition. The Bible has been translated from Ancient Hebrew to Ancient Greek to Late Latin until it was translated to Old English. And now, it has been translated to Modern English. It may surpri...
“Clean” is a rather common word in today’s time. However, in accordance with Scripture, “clean” is more than just physical neatness. Instead, it’s a state of being maintained or returned to without any spots or blemish. Of course, this is something figurative. According to the Bible, here are definitions that make up the word “clean”: 1. “Clean” is...
In media outlets, angels are often described as heavenly creatures with white wings cloaked in silk and cotton. But, the “angel” we are presented today, turns out to have a different Biblical definition. Its modern English term “angel” is a fusion of the Old English word “Engel” and the Old French “Angele”. These two words are derived from the Lati...

In Revelation 22:1...
The “word” elder means someone of advanced age. When we see a grandfather or a grandmother, we often call them “the elders” or “the elderly”. However, biblically speaking, the word “elder” carries a heavy task. It isn’t a characteristic referring to age such as being old. Instead, it is more of someone who has a duty to guide or lead. The word “eld...
It’s easy to understand that these words mean people with a biological bond like how siblings may call each other “brothers and sisters”.

However, when calling someone “sister...

Instead of giant creatures with red eyes and sharp claws, demons are actually invisible yet wicked creatures that have superhuman powers. They were once angels, but were then deceived by Satan and went aga...

Similarly like the other words in this list, this word used in Biblical terms has a different meaning when used today. Instead of being a component of the body, the “flesh” is used as another word for...
This word is really interesting – In today’s setting, “lots” can be an informal word for plenty or vast. It can even refer to the amount of land a person owns.
