Most used words in the bible and what they really means

bible
I've came across some certain words in the bible that i observed that many Christians don't know their real meaning including me! Untill i figured out these words and made some researches on them. These words sometimes creates confusion for a person reading the bible, with a question in their mind that "what is the meaning of this word?" . Most times, i've tried to look for these words in an english dictionary but it doesn't match with that of the bible. You also need the help of the Holy Spirit to understand scriptures more than before! You can also read How to Recieve the Holy Spirit I now have a compilation of these words together with their real meaning which i'm gonna share with you in an alphabetical order. 1. Abyss - This word is used in the new testament mostly in the book of revelations, "abyss" is a place in the depths of the earth or a bottomless pit. According to ancient Jewish teaching, the demons were imprisoned in the abyss until their final punishment. 2. Amen - This "greek" word is used almost everywhere in the new testament of the Bible, infact! all Christians say this word on a daily basis either at the end of a prayer of after a hymn. "Amen" actually has two different meanings: firstly, it means "so be it" which is the most common meaning. It is also used as a name for Jesus Christ in Revelations 3:14. 3. Beelzebul - This word is also known as Beelzebub which is a New Testament name given to the Devil as the chief of the evil spirits and demons, in other words "Beelzebul" also means "The Devil". 4. Chalcedony - "Chalcedony" is a stone which i could really refer to it as a "semi-precious" stone, it's usually milky in colour. 5. Ephod - This is a Hebrew word, although its meaning is unclear in a number of places. But it is a piece of cloth worn over the shoulders by the High Priest which had Urim and the Thummim attached to it. 6. Rabbi - Sometimes when you find this word in an english bible, you might be wondering what this is! but it's a Hebrew word which means "my teacher" in english language. Each time you see this word in the bible, you should replace it with "my teacher" for better understanding. 7. Sackcloth - It's a coarse cloth made of goats hair, this "Sackcloth" is worn as a sign of mourning or sadness. 8. Yoke - Most times, "yoke" is often mistaken for "chains" but they are different although they work together. Yoke is a heavy bar of wood which is fitted over the neck and shoulders of a person, it is used especially for prisoners in the olden days.
