Sons and daughters come from the North, South, East, and West.
The Kingdom advances through my obedience,
and the Matheteuo Global Family expands by the breath of God.

H — HOLY SPIRIT
I decree that my life is sustained by the Holy Spirit.
Not by might, not by power,
but by the Spirit of the Lord.
His love is poured into my heart.
His fire refines me.
His revelation fills me.
His holiness baptizes me afresh.
I am sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit
and marked as a vessel of KADOSH life.

I am emptied, awestruck, purified, enlightened, commissioned, and empowered.
I am a holy one in the earth,
carrying the fire of Heaven,
revealing the King,
and advancing His Kingdom.

Amen.

Rejoicing & Reckoning — The Servants Marked by Fire

 

Isaiah 66:14–18

There comes a moment in every prophetic journey where God draws a line.
Not to divide in cruelty, but to distinguish in clarity.

Isaiah 66:14–18 is that moment.

“Your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass;
the hand of the Lord will be made known to His servants,
but His fury will be shown to His foes.”
— Isaiah 66:14

This is not just comfort.
This is consecration.

The Servants Will Rejoice

God promises:

• Joy
• Flourishing
• Visibility
• Favor

This is not a hidden blessing.
This is public vindication.

The trembling ones who stood firm will now be seen as the flourishing ones.

The Lord Will Come With Fire

“See, the Lord is coming with fire,
and His chariots are like a whirlwind…”
— Isaiah 66:15

This is not a poetic metaphor.
This is prophetic reality.

God is coming:

• With fire
• With whirlwind
• With fury
• With rebuke
• With flames

This is the refining fire that does not destroy, but distinguishes.

 The Marketplace Implication

In the marketplace, this passage speaks to:

• The visibility of God’s hand on righteous leaders
• The exposure of corruption and compromise
• The flourishing of those who tremble at His Word
• The confrontation of systems that oppose His ways

God is not passive.
He is present.
He is active.
He is drawing a line.

DECLARATION: I Am Marked by Fire and Flourishing

Speak this aloud:

“Lord, I rejoice in Your comfort and stand in Your fire.
Let Your hand be made known in my life.
Let Your fire distinguish me from compromise.
I will flourish like grass.
I will rejoice in Your justice.
I will not fear the whirlwind. I am aligned with Your Word.
Mark me with Your favour.
Refine me with Your fire.
Reveal me as Your servant.”

The Comfort and Overflow of Zion

Scripture Focus: Isaiah 66:12–14

"For this is what the Lord says: 'I will extend peace to her like a river, and the wealth of nations like a flooding stream; you will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees. As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.' When you see this, your heart will rejoice and you will flourish like grass; the hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants, but his fury will be shown to his foes." — Isaiah 66:12–14

Overview

This chapter marks a shift from birthing to nurturing — from sudden delivery to sustained overflow. God speaks of peace like a river, wealth like a stream, and comfort like a mother’s embrace. This is the season of divine tenderness, visible flourishing, and clear distinction between those who serve God and those who oppose Him.

Key Themes

• Peace like a river — not a trickle, but a steady, life-giving flow
• Wealth like a flooding stream — abundance that cannot be contained
• Comfort like a mother — intimate, personal, healing
• Rejoicing and flourishing — emotional restoration and visible growth
• Divine distinction — God’s hand revealed to His servants

Marketplace Application

In the marketplace, this passage speaks to:

• Emotional healing after seasons of pressure
• Financial provision that flows from alignment
• Clarity in calling and favour
• The nurturing nature of God in leadership and stewardship

Activation

• Receive God’s comfort as a leader, not just a labourer
• Let peace govern your decisions
• Expect visible flourishing in your work and relationships
• Trust that God’s hand will be made known in your assignments

Declaration

"I receive peace like a river and wealth like a stream. I am comforted, carried, and nourished by the hand of God. I rejoice and flourish. I am marked by His favour and distinguished by His presence."

From Vindication to Birthing — The Sound of Sudden Glory

 

In the previous blog post, we stood with the trembling ones; those who honour God’s Word, endure mockery, and carry the posture of reverence. We saw how God responds to their obedience with vindication, justice, and divine defence.

Now, Isaiah 66 pivots.

From trembling to birthing. 
Mockery to miracle.
Exclusion to expansion.

“Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things?
 Who has ever seen things like this?
Can a country be born in a day, or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children.  Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?” says your God. “Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her,  all you who mourn over her. For you will nurse and be satisfied at her comforting breasts; you will drink deeply and delight in her overflowing abundance.” 

Isaiah 66:7-11.

Verse 7 opens with a prophetic shock:

“Before she goes into labour, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son.”
— Isaiah 66:7

This is not normal.
This is supernatural.

It is the picture of Zion birthing destiny without delay.
It is the sound of God accelerating His promises.

It is the moment when what was mocked becomes what is multiplied.

The Marketplace Implication

It is the moment when:

The trembling ones become the birthing ones

The rejected ones become the resourceful ones

The mocked ones become the multiplied ones

The faithful ones become the fruitful ones

God is saying:

“I do not bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery.”

— Isaiah 66:9

This is a rebuke to delay, fear, and spiritual abortion.

God finishes what He starts.

He delivers what He conceives.

He multiplies what He anoints.

Isaiah 66:7–11 is not just poetic — it is prophetic.

It is the sound of sudden glory.

It is the season of supernatural delivery.

Let’s step into it.

The Trembling Ones, the Mocking Crowd & the Sound of Divine Justice

 

Isaiah 66:5–6 with the Passion of Christ

There are moments in Scripture where Heaven pulls back the veil and reveals what God sees, what God hears, and what God is about to do. Isaiah 66:5–6 is one of those moments. It is a message to a specific kind of believer; the one who trembles at God’s Word.

Not a casual believer.
Not a cultural believer.
Not the religious performer.
But the one whose heart bows when God speaks.

And to these trembling ones, God says:

“Hear the word of the Lord…”
— Isaiah 66:5

Because what He is about to say is both sobering and deeply comforting.

Mocked for Reverence — The Pain of Standing for Truth

Isaiah continues:

“Your own people who hate you,
and exclude you because of My name…”
— Isaiah 66:5

This is not persecution from strangers.
This is rejection from familiar faces.

It is the sting of:

• being misunderstood
• being excluded
• being mocked
• being labelled “too spiritual,” “too serious,” or “too obedient”

And then comes the sarcasm:

“Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy!”
— Isaiah 66:5

This is not encouragement.
It is ridicule.

It is the same spirit that mocked Jesus.

The Mocking of Jesus — The Ultimate Identification

Every Gospel records the mockery of Christ:

• Matthew 27: They strip Him, robe Him, crown Him with thorns, kneel in false worship, spit on Him, and strike Him.
• Mark 15: A whole battalion gathers to ridicule Him.
• Luke 22–23: He is blindfolded, beaten, taunted, insulted, and mocked by Herod’s soldiers.
• John 19: He is flogged, robed in purple, crowned with thorns, slapped, and mocked repeatedly.

This was not random cruelty.
It was prophetic fulfilment.

• Psalm 22:7–8: “All who see me mock me…”
• Isaiah 53:3: “Despised and rejected by men…”
• Genesis 3:18: The thorns of the curse placed on His head

Jesus was mocked because He was the true King.
He was ridiculed because He was the true Messiah.
He was rejected because He was the true Word made flesh.

And Isaiah 66 tells us:

Those who tremble at His Word will experience the same pattern.

Ruth — The Trembling One Who Was Vindicated

Ruth was:

• a foreigner
• a widow
• an outsider
• a woman with no status

She was likely mocked by the reapers.
She was overlooked by society.
She was excluded by culture.

But she trembled at God’s ways.
She aligned with His field.
She stayed close to His presence.

And like Christ, and like the trembling ones in Isaiah 66, she was vindicated.

Boaz covered her.
God honoured her.
Her lineage birthed the Messiah.

 The Sound of Justice — Heaven’s Response to Mockery

Isaiah continues:

“Hear that uproar from the city, hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound of the Lord repaying His enemies…”
— Isaiah 66:6

This is not chaos.
This is justice.

This is the sound of:

• God defending the humble
• God vindicating the contrite
• God answering the trembling ones
• God silencing the mockers
• God restoring the rejected

The trembling ones may be mocked, but they will never be abandoned.

The trembling ones may be excluded, but they will never be forgotten.

The trembling ones may be ridiculed, but they will be vindicated by God Himself.

Marketplace Application — Being a Voice That Draws People to Christ

In the marketplace, this passage becomes intensely practical.

You may be mocked for:

• refusing corruption
• honouring Scripture
• praying before decisions
• choosing integrity over convenience
• refusing to gossip
• standing for righteousness

You may be excluded for:

• not joining unethical practices
• not laughing at crude jokes
• not compromising your values

But your trembling becomes your testimony.
Your reverence becomes your influence.
Your obedience becomes your voice.

You don’t draw people to Christ by blending in.
You draw them by standing out.

You become:

• the calm in chaos
• the truth in confusion
• the integrity in corruption
• the light in darkness
• the voice that carries Heaven’s sound

And Heaven promises:
Your vindication will speak louder than their mockery.

DECLARATION: I Will Stand Even When Mocked!

Speak this aloud:

“Lord, I choose to tremble at Your Word.
I choose obedience even when mocked.
I choose truth even when excluded.
I choose reverence even when misunderstood.
As Christ was mocked, I will not be surprised when I am mocked.
But as Christ was vindicated, I will be vindicated.
Let the sound of Your justice be heard in my life.
Make me a voice that draws people toward Christ.”

The Mockery of the Trembling Ones / Case Study

A call to Holiness

Holy, Holy, Holy are You,

O LORD God Almighty,

Who was and is and is to come

(Revelation 4:8).

We bow our hearts before You, Father,

For You are not common,

You are not familiar,

You are not casual.

You are unique.

You are set apart, exalted above the heavens,

And Your glory is above all the earth

(Psalm 113:4).

When we consider Your holiness,

We realize that no human strength can stand before You,

No flesh can glory in Your presence

(1 Corinthians 1:29).

Even the heavens are not pure in Your sight

(Job 15:15),

And yet You invite us to draw near.

Lord, like Isaiah, we say that when earthly supports fall—

When kings die,

When systems fail,

You reveal Yourself more clearly.

In the year King Uzziah died,

Isaiah saw You seated on the throne,

High and lifted up,

Unmoved, unchanged, eternal.

Your train filled the temple,

Leaving no space for human glory.

The seraphim cried to one another,

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;

The whole earth is full of His glory.”

At the sound of their voices, the doorposts shook,

And the house was filled with smoke

(Isaiah 6:1–4).

Lord, let that vision be restored to Your Church.

Shake us again with the reality of who You are.

Deliver us from a powerless familiarity with holy things.

Restore the fear of the LORD,

For the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom

(Proverbs 9:10).

And as Your holiness is revealed,

We confess as Isaiah confessed:

“Woe is me, for I am undone.”

Not because You are cruel,

But because You are pure.

Your light exposes what darkness hides.

Your holiness reveals what pride denies.

We acknowledge, Lord, that even those You call,

Even those You anoint,

Even those You send—

Stand in constant need of Your cleansing grace.

Isaiah was a prophet, yet he cried,

“I am a man of unclean lips.”

Peter was a fisherman, yet he fell at Your knees and said,

“Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.”

So today, Father, we do not justify ourselves.

We humble ourselves under Your mighty hand

(1 Peter 5:6).

Search us, O God, and know our hearts;

Try us and know our thoughts;

See if there is any wicked way in us,

And lead us in the way everlasting

(Psalm 139:23–24).

Touch us with the coal from Your altar.

Let Your cleanse our consciences from dead works

To serve the living God

(Hebrews 9:14).

Create in us clean hearts, O God,

And renew steadfast spirits within us

(Psalm 51:10).

Lord Jesus,

You stepped into Peter’s ordinary boat—

A place of labour, frustration, and fatigue.

You did not ask for perfection.

You asked for access.

And when Peter gave his boat,

You turned it into a pulpit for the kingdom.

Lord, teach us that our vessels—

Though ordinary, limited or not to the standards of men.

Let them become powerful when we surrender all to You.

We place our boats at Your disposal.

Use what we have,

Where we are,

Just as we are.

And when You speak, Lord,

Give us ears to hear and hearts to obey.

Even when Your instruction stretches our logic.

Even when experience tells us the nets will be empty.

Even when obedience requires faith beyond comfort.

For You are the Lord of the deep.

The deep places of provision.

The deep places of transformation.

As deep calls to deep,

As we obey, let the nets break with abundance.

Let testimonies overflow.

Let provision confirm Your Word.

Not so that we exalt ourselves,

But so that we fall again at Your feet in awe.

Lord, let Your holiness rest upon us so tangibly

That people are convicted simply by being near us.

As it was in the early Church,

When great fear came upon all,

And many signs and wonders were done

(Acts 5:11–12).

Let our lives preach louder than our sermons.

Let our purity speak louder than our arguments.

Let Your glory shine through us,

So that men see our good works

And glorify our Father in heaven

(Matthew 5:16).

We ask that Your holiness would reshape homes,

Heal marriages,

Restore children,

Correct injustice,

And dismantle corruption.

Let societies be transformed—not by force,

But by the revelation of Your glory.

For when You arise, Lord,

Your enemies are scattered

(Psalm 68:1).

When Your glory fills the temple,

Dagon must fall

(1 Samuel 5:3).

We declare that we are willing vessels.

We are obedient servants.

We are carriers of holy fire.

Here we are, Lord—send us.

Until the earth is filled with Your glory.

Until every knee bows.

Until every tongue confesses

That Jesus Christ is Lord,

To the glory of God, the Father

(Philippians 2:10–11).

We worship You.

We reverence You.

We yield to You.

In the holy, glorious, and eternal name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Why we call Him Jesus

by Ps Gerda Strydom. 

There is much debating at the moment concerning the use of the name of Jesus.  Below are some reasons why I call Him JESUS.

Names change but Jesus never changes

Yeshua is the Hebrew name for the Lord. It means “The Lord is Salvation.”  When translating Yeshua from Hebrew into English, it becomes “Joshua.”  When translating Yeshua from Hebrew to Greek, it becomes Iēsous. The English spelling for Iēsous is “Jesus.”  

Matthew 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 

KJV – Jesus: GREEK: NT:2424: Iesous (ee-ay-sooce’); of Hebrew origin [OT:3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: (Biblesoft’s New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003, 2006 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.)

Joshua and Jesus are the same name. One is translated from Hebrew into English, the other from Greek into English.   The name “Isaiah” is also the same as Yeshua in Hebrew and it also means “The Lord is Salvation.”  

Whichever language we use, His nature does not change.   HE IS THE SAME, regardless of the LANGUAGE, SPELLING, OR PRONUNCIATION used. 

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 

This scripture does not refer to His name but rather His nature.  

Acts 4:10 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

A literal name cannot give you salvation; this would mean that if there is anyone else with the same name they would also be Saviour.  The Name of Jesus speaks of His divine nature attributes.

God understands every language and every tongue

The Bible doesn’t give pre-eminence to one language (or translation) over another. We are not commanded to call upon the name of the Lord in Hebrew only. 

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’ 

God knows who calls upon his name, whether they do so in English, Portuguese, Spanish, or Hebrew. He is still the same Lord and Saviour.

Galatians 3:26-29 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

Christ does not have a Jewish identity

Messianic Jews tend to refer to Messiah as Yeshua.  In calling Him Yeshua we are restoring to Him His Jewish identity. Yeshua was and is the name He was called when He walked on this Earth.   His Jewish identity was never magnified in the New Testament.  He rather opposed the Jewish practices such as working on the Sabbath Day.   We should not worship Him in his earthly identity but rather in His Divinity.  He is Christ (The anointed One and His anointing) There are many people on the earth whose names are Yeshua, Joshua, Jesus etc.  But they are not Christ.  

True Believers are Jews inwardly – regardless of their language or nationality.  This is a matter of the heart and not a matter of language.

Romans 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; 29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God. 

Jesus did not come to give us a JEWISH IDENTITY, but rather a HEAVENLY IDENTITY.

Philippians 3:17 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 

Galatians 3:26-29 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

Hebrews 12:22-23 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 

The General Assembly and church consists of ALL NATIONS, TONGUES AND LANGUAGES.

Revelation 7:9-10 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 

John the Baptist rebuked the Jews who thought that they were better.

Matthew 3:7-9 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 

The name of a person usually communicates the INWARD NATURE of the person, and not the OUTWARD NATURE.

Other names of Jesus

We cannot possibly restrict Christ to a Hebrew Name.  There are many other Names for Jesus in scripture:

COUNSELLOR / WONDERFUL / MIGHTY GOD / EVERLASTING FATHER / PRINCE OF PEACE:

YESHUA IS NOT ONLY RELEVANT TO JESUS

The names for the Lord in the Old Testament are relevant to the entire Godhead  – They are relevant to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Yeshua is not isolated to Jesus.  There are other names which are also relevant to Jesus, thus we can use any of these names for our Lord.

ELOHIM: The plural form of EL, meaning “strong one.”(Isa. 54:5; Jer. 32:27; Gen. 1:1; Isa. 45:18; Deut. 5:23; 8:15; Ps. 68:7)  Elohim refers to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Jesus is also creator.

Colossians 1:15-17 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. NKJV

EL SHADDAI: “God Almighty.” Gen. 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; Ex. 6:1; Ps. 91:1-2.  Jesus is also Almighty.  Jesus is also Almighty.

Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

EL ELYON: “The Most High God.” Stresses God’s strength, sovereignty, and supremacy (Gen. 14:19; Ps. 9:2; Dan. 7:18, 22, 25).  Jesus is also Most High.

Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. NKJV

EL OLAM: “The Everlasting God.” Emphasizes God’s unchangeableness and is connected with His inexhaustibleness (Gen. 16:13).  Jesus is also everlasting.

Hebrews 7:25 He ever liveth to make intercession for us.

Yahweh Jireh (Yireh): “The Lord will provide.” Stresses God’s provision for His people (Gen. 22:14). Jesus is also Provider.

John 16:24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. NKJV

Yahweh Nissi:“The Lord is my Banner.” Stresses that God is our rallying point and our means of victory; the one who fights for His people (Ex. 17:15).  Jesus is also our Banner.

Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.” NKJV

Yahweh Shalom:“The Lord is Peace.” Points to the Lord as the means of our peace and rest (Jud. 6:24).  Jesus is also our Peace.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. 

Yahweh Maccaddeshcem: “The Lord your Sanctifier.” Portrays the Lord as our means of sanctification or as the one who sets believers apart for His purposes (Ex. 31:13). Jesus is also our Sanctifier.

Hebrews 13:12 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. 

Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

Yahweh Ro’i: “The Lord my Shepherd.” Portrays the Lord as the Shepherd who cares for His people as a shepherd cares for the sheep of his pasture (Ps. 23:1).  Jesus is also the Good Shepherd.

John 10:11-14 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. 13 The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. 14 I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. 

Yahweh Tsidkenu: “The Lord our Righteousness.” Portrays the Lord as the means of our righteousness (Jer. 23:6). Jesus is also our Righteousness

2 Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 

Theos: Greek word translated “God.” Primary name for God used in the New Testament. Its use teaches: (1) He is the only true God (Matt. 23:9; Rom. 3:30); (2) He is unique (1 Tim. 1:17; John 17:3; Rev. 15:4; 16:7); (3) He is transcendent (Acts 17:24; Heb. 3:4; Rev. 10:6); (4) He is the Savior (John 3:16; 1 Tim. 1:1; 2:3; 4:10). This name is used of Christ as God in John 1:1, 18; 20:28; 1 John 5:20; Tit. 2:13; Rom. 9:5; Heb. 1:8; 2 Pet. 1:1.

Kurios: Greek word translated “Lord.” Stresses authority and supremacy. While it can mean sir (John 4:11), owner (Luke 19:33), master (Col. 3:22), or even refer to idols (1 Cor. 8:5) or husbands (1 Pet. 3:6), it is used mostly as the equivalent of Yahweh of the Old Testament. It too is used of Jesus Christ meaning (1) Rabbi or Sir (Matt. 8:6); (2) God or Deity (John 20:28; Acts 2:36; Rom. 10:9; Phil. 2:11).

Despotes: Greek word translated “Master.” Carries the idea of ownership while kurios stressed supreme authority (Luke 2:29; Acts 4:24; Rev. 6:10; 2 Pet. 2:1; Jude 4).
