Revelation 1:13
#12
Larry,

My name is Dave Bauscher. I am new to the group.

I find the Aramaic "0dwp0" (Ephoda) in Hosea 3:4 of The Peshitta. This is apparently the only place in The OT to find it.In fact The same phrase used in Rev. 1:13 is used in Hosea 3:4("Labish Ephoda") -"wearing an ephod".
The Hosea verse is a prophesy of a time when Israel would have no priesthood and no king:
"For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim."
Is it not intriguing that in Rev. 1:13 of The Peshitto is a revelation of The Messiah wearing the ephod of high priest and also bearing royal power -(holding seven stars in his right hand) at a time when Israel had been stripped of earthly king , priesthood and temple ?
This is a message of comfort and an offer of hope to Israel.
Their true government and covenant is perfected and eternally realized in Jesus Christ and true Israel is the spiritual union of those who recognize and love Him here on earth.
The Peshitto in Rev. has at least a couple more uniquely Semitic readings that may point to a semitic original:
9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. {Apollyon: that is to say, A destroyer}
ars tya hl ams tyamraw wdbe tyarbe hmsd amwhtd hkalm aklm Nwhyle tyaw 11
The Aramaic of Peshitto has : ars tya hl ams tyamraw- "His Aramaic name is Sra." -("destroyer,corrupter").
16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
wdgm tyarbe arqtmd artal Nwna snknw 16 -Aramaic
16 kai sunhgagen autouv eiv ton topon ton kaloumenon ebraisti armagedwn -Greek
Aramaic has "Meggido", which is the famous field of battle found many times in the OT.
All Greek editions seem to have "armagedwn", which name is not in the OT and does not seem to follow good Hebrew spelling. There is a place called "Har megiddo", but that is not the famous Biblical plain referred to here. It is a mountain fortress.
These and others seem to indicate that revelation is a semitic book composed in Aramaic or Hebrew.
