43. Revelation 21:21 Pearly gates
Revelation 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. [kjv]
και οι δωδεκα πυλωνες δωδεκα μαργαριται ανα εις εκαστος των πυλωνων ην εξ ενος μαργαριτου και η πλατεια της πολεως χρυσιον καθαρον ως υαλος διαυγης [gnt]
… portae … margaritae … portae … margaritis … platea … perlucidum [v]
In Revelation, we find the verse from which the idea of the "
Pearly Gates" originates. The Latin word
"margarita" ≈ "pearl" and comes from the ancient Greek word
"μαργαρίτης" ≈ "pearl".
The ancient Greek word
"πλατύς" ≈ "wide, flat" and is related to the English word
"flat". The Greek word is the first part of the English word
"platypus" which means, literally, "
flat feet". The Greek in this verse means less of a
"street" and more of a
"plaza" or
"plateau".
44. Song: Victory in Jesus
1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. [kjv]
τω δε θεω χαρις τω διδοντι ημιν το νικος δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου [gnt]
Eugene Bartlett (1885-1941) wrote the words and music to the hymn "
Victory in Jesus". The last verse of the song "
Victory in Jesus" talks about a "
mansion".
- Born in Missouri, moved to Arkansas, music store business
- In 1939, at age 54, he suffered a stroke, then wrote "Victory in Jesus".
45. Verse 1
I heard an old, old story,
how a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary,
to save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning,
of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins,
and won the victory.
46. Refrain
O
victory in Jesus,
my Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me,
with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him,
and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to
victory,
beneath the cleansing flood.
47. Verse 3
I heard about a
mansion,
he has built for me in glory.
And I heard about the
streets of gold,
beyond the
crystal sea;
About the angels
singing,
and the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there
the song of victory.
48. Refrain
O
victory in Jesus,
my Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me,
with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him,
and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to
victory,
beneath the cleansing flood.
49. Square plazas
John the Baptist is talking about Jesus. What might this verse mean for street preachers?
Matthew 12:19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. [kjv]
ουκ ερισει ουδε κραυγασει ουδε ακουσει τις εν ταις πλατειαις την φωνην αυτου [gnt]
The word the
KJV translates as
"streets" is the ancient Greek word
"πλατύς" ≈ "wide, flat, broad" and is related to the English word
"flat". This word is related to the English word
"plaza".
The
KJV translates as "
strive" the Greek word that means to use "
invalid logic" or "
invalid reasoning".

The Methodist church of the Reformation got its name, in part, because their followers had a "method" for everything, which is still true in the United Methodist church today (which, having merged with the Evangelical United Brethren church in the 1960's, added "United" to its name) .
