FURTHER DISCUSSION
1. Rev. 3:17-- ὅτι λέγεις ὅτι Πλούσιός εἰμι καὶ πεπλούτηκα καὶ οὐδὲν χρείαν ἔχω, καὶ οὐκ οἶδας ὅτι σὺ εἶ ὁ ταλαίπωρος καὶ ἐλεεινὸς καὶ πτωχὸς καὶ τυφλὸς καὶ γυμνός,
#5005—wretched; talaiporos—afflicted, wretched, miserable, suffering from spiritual or emotional misery
#1652—miserable; eleeinos--worthy of pity, pitiable, full of misery, wretched, miserable; from eleos (mercy, compassion, active pity)
#4434—poor; ptochos--poor, helpless, in complete destitution
#5185—blind; tuphlos—to envelop with smoke, be unable to see clearly, blind
#1131—naked; gumnos—naked, stark naked, comparatively naked or ill-dressed
PS says wretched & miserable are similar: wretched is the private, internal grinding experience of being miserable or wretched while miserable is the public perception of poverty which elicits pity or mercy in others.
PS also says blind & naked are similar: blind are unable to discern true wealth, can’t see God & His value system while the naked are willing to wear only rags but think they have on “emperor’s fine clothes”
PS says poor are lacking the basic essentials of a Christian; like the rich fool in Luke 12:21, 33 may have great earthly riches but have failed to convert them to heavenly riches
2. What other references does PS give when talking about vomit out of mouth?
Lev. 20:22--‘You are therefore to keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and do them, so that the land to which I am
bringing you to live will not spew you out.
Matt. 5:13--"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is good for
nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
PS mentioned in passing that pure salt doesn’t spoil
