John-i-hah's Phone Suffixes in Bible Lexicon

This page, including the mention of his name as "John-i-hah," was posted with his knowledge and permission at the time of its creation on March 15, July 27, 1999.

  Introduction

If you know John-i-hah, then you will appreciate these correlations   =_)

I looked these up while down visiting Randy Jarvis and John-i-hah in St. George, Utah on the week-end of March 7, 1999.  John-i-hah has since moved to a new location, but his pager number (-7696)  is still the same.  Furthermore, his other number is yet a part of him.  He was there; that number was associated with him.

Phone suffix 7696 in the OT Hebrew Lexicon (Gesenius)

7696 to be brave, vigorous; also, fierce.  The primary idea appears to be that of any impetuous excitement.  (1) one wrought on by a divine fury; in a bad sense, a fanatic, used of false prophets; also, in contempt used of true prophets; (2) a madman; to be mad.

That word is so perfect in describing John-i-hah in both a complementary and humorous way.

They said as much of the great prophet, Enoch, anciently:

"There is a strange thing in the Land; a wild man hath come among us." (Moses 6:38.)

This word comes in the shin/sin section of the alphabetic listing, which Gesenius separates into two sections, which Strong numbered them consecutively together.  The word immediately before 7696 in the sin section is

7690 great; greatly.

I find this personally interesting as the word "greater" is derived from this.   There is no doubt John-i-hah is involved in the great and marvelous work of the Father in these latter days, including the work referenced on this web site, GreaterThings.com.

[12/7/00 Note: Since the time of the writing of this page, John-i-hah and I have become rather bitter enemies.  We might both be working toward the same stated goal of Zion, but our individual approaches and especially personalities are in deep conflict.  Hence the juxtaposition of this number for him with a word that ties to my web site is quite fitting for its irony.]

  Phone suffix 7924 in the OT lexicon

I looked this one up just after showing John-i-hah Utah's Wasatch Front area code in the New Testament lexicon. (See Mormons and 801).  Word 801 means "foolish" with antonym "intelligent" or "wise," the idea of the wise and foolish virgins.   Word 7696 in the Old Testament lexicon means

7924 &1;-,: Understanding

In opposite contrast, the word right before it in Gesenius means "folly (see 5531)"

The word following 7924 in Gesenius, 9,:, means, "to hire" (7936), which is quite ironic considering that John-i-hah's mission in life is to ask the question of people who they are working for:  Babylon or Zion.  His aim is to help people realign themselves from employment in Babylon to working for the Lord instead.  The "vow of poverty" is core to this switch, hence the irony that the very next word listed in Gesenius means "wages, reward" (7939).  Next word means, "those who make wages" (7938).

At the end of John-i-hah's e-mail is found the statement introducing his web site:

Visit ZionOsphere and escape Babylon
http://www.eagle-net.org/zionosphere

And the next word in Gesenius, an unused root, is an especially opposite irony in relation to John-i-hah.

%-: To be quiet.
