# 14 epidechomai (No. 7, with epi, upon, prefixed) to receive upon or up to one's self, admit, (non occ.)  Strong's # 1926, used 2 times.

As you may notice, Bullinger never suggests wait as a meaning for dechomai, in any of its 91 various usages, with or without a preposition prefixed to it.  However, Bullinger does assign the meaning to accept, take, receive to one's self in all 91 various usages of dechomai, with or without a preposition prefixed to it.

So then, are there any verbs in the Greek biblical texts (UBS4) which may have the meaning of wait?  Yes, there are several:

Strong's # 362, anamenō (ana menō), to wait up

Strong's # 1748, enedreuō (en edreuō), lying in wait

Strong's # 3306, menō, to stay, to remain

Strong's # 4037, perimenō (peri menō), to stay around

In the words above I've underlined the prepositions prefixed to these words, so you can see how prepositions commonly modify the root meanings of the words to which they've been prefixed.

There may be more words in the Greek biblical texts which may mean to wait, you must be able to find them.  Disciple Mark (Mark 15:43) consciously, deliberately, chose not to use one of these four words, BUT, to use prosdechomai.  Disciple Luke made the same choice (Luke 23:51).

Luke 23:51 (LIT/UBS4) This one (houtos), from (apo) Arimathea (Harimathaias), [a] city (poleōs) of the (tōn) Judeans (Ioudaiōn), was being (ēn) one absolutely not causing himself to be placed down together with (ouk sunkatatetheimenos) the (tē) counsel (boulē) and (kai) the (tē) practice (praxei) of them (autōn), one who (hos) was causing himself to receive to himself (prosedecheto) the (tēn) Kingdom⁹³² (basileian) of the (tou) God (theou)!

If you're still here reading these things then you must have some biblical texts study skills, and already know how to use some biblical study resource tools.  But, given all of the clear evidence from the biblical texts, prosdechomai can't possibly mean to wait.  But can you determine, and then believe, what it really means, to receive or take to one's self?  The new covenant in Jesus shed blood, the Law of Belief (Rom. 3:23-31), requires belief in God's Word in a disciple's heart (Rom. 10:8-11), in order to participate, at all, in that new covenant! 

You mean that after all of your academic biblical and Greek studies not one of your teachers ever mentioned this to you, about the Kingdom of the God already being here, about 2,000 years ago already?  That's what some writers of the NT biblical Greek texts have written, which statements are erroneously paraphrased out of ALL triune godhead-based Bible translations!  Isn't that lying in translation?  Please closely examine Mark 15:43 and Luke 23:51 in a NT biblical Greek texts, the UBS4 or NA27, and then compare it to the LIT translation above and to your favorite triune godhead-based bible translation, and then determine for yourself, which translation more accurately reflects the wordage and meanings in the biblical Greek text!  Prove it to yourself, right now, is Hal Dekker lying or not? 

Jesus can determine who are his "sheep" and who are not, and so can you and I!  Those who are not disciples of Jesus Christ can only fool other people who are not disciples of Jesus.  Truly, fake or phony disciples can't talk about God's Word using only biblical terminology!  Their abundant use of extra-biblical terminology from their own lack of hands-on study in the biblical texts is one obvious tell which defines them as only actors!  Is a self-proclaimed math teacher who doesn't know the multiplication tables really a math teacher?  Is a spiritual leader who doesn't know that at least half of his Bible is made of religious-sounding paraphrases used to replace God's Word, really a spiritual leader?  See what I mean?  Do you know anyone who cares?

True disciples of Jesus Christ are causing themselves to receive to themselves the Kingdom of the God, now!  Phony disciples who have read only extra-biblical paraphrases in Bibles instead of God's Word, still believe it hasn't come near yet!  And guess what else, they don't care what their Bibles say, which is the same as not caring about what God's Word says!

Jesus Christ, God's firstborn son, was the living Word of the God, who presented to us the spoken Word of the God, which came to be recorded as the written Word of the God, which all of it is Truth, if it is all God's Word (John 17:17).  The God's Word is Truth, which is the determinate key of knowledge. 

Jesus, speaking of his followers trying to enter into something, blames the lawyers for cutting off his people from entering in to it, through withholding the knowledge of it in the prophetic biblical texts of God's Word, from the people.

This verse appears to me to be a part of Jesus' discourse which Luke introduces to us beginning in verse 14.  Jesus was out one day going around throwing out demon spirits from believing people, and some people watching claimed Jesus was working for the devil.  Upon Jesus' perception of this, Jesus began addressing those present through first stating the subject of his following discourse, kingdoms.  The inference for this becomes obvious early in the discourse (Luke 11:14-20).

1. Any kingdom (v14)

2. the kingdom of Satan (v18)

3. the Kingdom of the God (v20)

Luke's quote of Jesus' discourse (Luke 11:14-54) was Jesus' response to those watching him throw demon spirits out of others, claiming Jesus was working for Satan.  Jesus responded to this accusation through teaching them about issues related to the Kingdom of the God, such as the lawyers in the Judean leadership having stole the prophetic key of the knowledge in God's Word about the coming Kingdom of God, which subject is a part of the vital Evangelism of Jesus Christ. 

This discrete topic of stealing the key of knowledge of how Jesus disciples can enter into the Kingdom of the God, began being stolen under the leadership of the Judeans during Jesus' earthly ministry, before his ascension.  They, especially the lawyers, those primarily responsible for holding people accountable to the letter of the law, stole that specific knowledge from the people, causing a blackout of that prophetic information, God's Word, Truth, similar to how translators and translation committees have been forging the biblical texts to create blackouts of certain kinds of biblical truths ever since then, and especially since about 325 CE, about Jesus' Christology and the Kingdom of the God.

These are some other passages in the biblical texts which are directly related to Jesus' statement here in Luke 11:52, about how difficult the lawyers made it for people to find the knowledge of the Kingdom of the God so anyone could know, understand and believe it and enter into it.  Mat. 7:13-14, 21, 11:12, 16:19, 18:3-9, 19:17-26; Mark 9:43-48, 10:23-25; Luke 11:52, 13:24, 16:16, 18:16-27; John 3:3-6, 10:1-9; Acts 14:21-22.

When Jesus stated the second part of this verse, Luke 11:52b, it sounds to me like Jesus meant that the Judean "leadership" removed the knowledge of God's Word from the people who were trying to enter into that knowledge.  The knowledge of Truth at that time was limited to only the knowledge of the law, the Psalms and of the prophets, who foretold of the God's promised coming redeemer, the Word made flesh, against whom the devil quickly moved to destroy.  If the devil passionately desired to destroy the God's Word made flesh, then what about the God's written Word, or the Spoken Word?  Do you think that maybe he has been busy trying to destroy them as well?  Yes, and I'm showing you how, at this very moment!  You got another minute? 

Forging Bible translations to either add, change or delete any of God's Truth within them is stealing the key of knowledge from readers.  When the Judean religious leaders stole Jesus Christ from the people, then tortured and killed him, that's how they shut Jesus up from exposing them further as nothing more than false actors.  Almost the entire Judean leadership of the nation of Israel, during Jesus' earthly ministry, were false ministers, "actors" as Jesus often characterized them, similar to the kind we have in politics and Hollywood.  For what were they acting?  Maybe wealth, and power over other people, what do you think? They literally stole the key of knowledge himself, and killed him, to stop him from both speaking the Truth, and stop him from exposing them for what they were, greedy, power hungry children of the devil (John 8:42-47), in the kingdom of the devil (Luke 11:18), actors (Mat. 6:2; Mark 7:6; Luke 13:15) as Jesus characterized them! 

About 1,700 years ago, in the early fourth century, Constantine and his triune godhead-believing leaders decided that the Kingdom of the God, the Kingdom of the Heavens, was in competition with their own kingdom, the Roman empire, and so what was then believed to be Christianity became very closely subjugated to Constantine and his "bishops" who all wanted to be revered and treated like gods themselves.  That was both acceptable and fashionable in those days.  That doesn't sound like Jesus Christ's and his apostles' desires.  Back in those days it was a common practice among people to believe that certain mortals could actually be descendants of gods, and thereby gods themselves, which public perception of them as gods, or god-like, would ultimately lead those "gods" into an unknown amount of wealth and power over people. 

Constantine himself needed lots of money to fulfill his plan of making Constantinople both his legacy and tombstone, and so he decided to stop killing-off part of his tax base and let Christians live, so he could tax them into poverty indefinitely to build his legacy.  He became Constantine the "Great" for sparing the lives of Christians.  But what he and his "bishops" did to Christianity was to transform it from the monotheism of God's Word to a triune godhead-based model of God himself, effectively beginning the devil's onslaught against the God's written and spoken Word.  Of course there is much detailed activity which swirled around the 4th century "Christian" transformation of religion, about which here I mention only a brief word.  I highly encourage everyone to become very familiar with everything to do with that early 4th century massive move to indoctrinate and triunize all things Christian. 

Constantine, or should I say the devil, working in and through Constantine and his "bishops", accomplished this Christian indoctrination and transformation in stages, beginning with Constantine's use of his armies to threaten Christians into doing exactly as he says, to hand over much of their wealth to him, leaving them just enough to create more future wealth to be taxed again for Constantine and his "bishops".  Constantine taxed, more or less heavily, almost everyone, for years.  The passing of "plates" in churches was only a metaphor for the unspoken "plates", Constantine's collection letters, being passed to everyone in Constantine's kingdom, whether in church or not.

Next Constantine sent his generals and armies to go throughout his kingdom/world finding and destroying as many first through third century Christian documents as could be found, to destroy the critical first three centuries of the history of the Evangelism of Jesus Christ.  Next Constantine and his "bishops" actively set about to begin falsifying certain existing third century biblical texts and documents to obfuscate certain critical core Truths within them to begin converting them into triune-godhead sales literature. 

From taking a comprehensive look at all of the alterations done in translation of the new testament biblical texts, it becomes very easy to observe patterns to those alterations:

- alterations to destroy/obfuscate the biblical evidence of the true identity of the Word made flesh and bone, to re-label him as God himself rather than a son of the God; which plays down, dumbs down, the Truth about how sin nature-based mortals in flesh and bone can also become sons of the God;

- alterations to destroy the Word's Christology, which true Christology is recorded within the biblical texts.

- alterations to add the invented concept of a hell into the biblical texts, a concept which can be effectively used to manipulate people into compliance and obedience to the "bishops" through fear.  Marshaling Constantine's armies to carry out threats is a lot more expensive than simply using words.  And then guess what, after people's supposed sins have been magnified, dramatized, emphasized and crammed down people's throats to the point of where everyone is cowering in fear of God's retribution striking them down like lightning from heaven, indulgences are  invented, through which "sinners" can supposedly buy their way out of that invented hell, and penalty for sin, through putting more money in the plate which is often and repeatedly passed to them.

- alterations to the texts to obfuscate what is the Gods' prophesied desired true temple, which is not made with mortal's hands, but which is made by God's hand, which true temple is the one body of Christ.  Please see my study, God's Desired True "Tent", His "Domed-Roof House"!

- alterations to the texts to obfuscate the Truth that God's Kingdom of the Heavens has already come on the day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2, the Kingdom which Jesus prayed about - "thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in the heavens".  The Kingdom of the God, the Kingdom of the Heavens, was already here in the heavens, but not yet upon earth, when Jesus prayed, thy kingdom come.  The God's Kingdom here upon earth began forming upon that day of Pentecost, with the formation of the one body of Christ, in which the God almighty now lives, the true temple of God made without human hands, but with his own "hand" (1 Cor. 3:16-17), which is where his Kingdom is (Luke 17:20-21)!  Kings live in their own kingdoms, don't they?

- alterations to the texts to dumb down a believer's spiritual prayer life from using speaking in tongues.

- alterations to the texts about dozens of other discrete biblical subject matters, which the devil wants obfuscated/destroyed so believers in the name of Jesus Christ can't find the vital key of knowledge of God's Word they need to grow up spiritually -  into (eis) the (tēn) oneness (henotēta) of the (tēs) belief (pisteōs) and (kai) of the (tēs) experiential knowledge (epignōseōs) of the (tou) son (huiou) of the (tou) God (theou), into (eis) [a] complete (teleion) male (andra), into (eis) [a/the] measure (metron) of the (tou) fullness (plērōmatos) of maturity (hēlikias) of the (tou) Christ (Christou);  see Eph. 4:11-13.

- alterations to the texts, through creating opportunities throughout the texts, to add triune godhead invented terminology and/or ideas and concepts.

Apparently there was a highly substantial amount of biblical Truth Constantine and his bishops wanted removed from their new version of "Christianity" going forward, and altering the meaning of prosdechomai in bible translations obfuscated/removed a substantial amount of God's Word about his promised coming and arriving Kingdom of the God, the Kingdom of the Heavens, which was distracting Jesus' followers from Constantine's kingdom. 

The world of false and counterfeit Christianity, which the devil, the god of the age of this (2 Cor. 4:3-4), the chief one of the authority of the air (Eph. 2:1-3), Satan, has invented and set up in the early fourth century, to replace the Way to wholeness/salvation Jesus preached and taught in the first century (Mal. 3:1), forbids anyone to learn or know anything about the Kingdom of the God, the Kingdom of the Heavens, through the obfuscation of the meaning of prosdechomai.  The devil wants people completely distracted in their minds away from the Kingdom of the God, and totally absorbed into his kingdom, the kingdom of the devil, here upon earth now (John 8:42-47; Luke 11:18).  Both kingdoms are available for you to enter into, take your pick.  Depending upon which one you choose determines what becomes of your life.

Jesus Christ and his apostles taught the God's Evangelism, which included preaching and teaching about God's Way into his wholeness/salvation (Mal. 3:1; Mat. 7:13-21, 11:10, 13:19, 21:32, 22:16; Mark 1:2, 4:14-15, 12:13-14; Luke 1:79, 7:26-27, 8:12, 20:19-21; John 14:3-6; Acts 9:2, 16:17, 18:24-26, 19:8-9, 23, 22:3-5, 24:14, 22; 1 Cor. 12:31; 1 Thes. 3:11; Heb. 9:7-12, 10:18-22; 2 Pet. 2:2, 21), which way ultimately produces a new birth from above in the heart of those who believe upon the name of Jesus. 

In Acts 2, disciple Luke records for us that on that day of Pentecost, which likely occurred sometime between 27 -30 CE, the Way about which Jesus and his apostles preached and taught led about 3,000 people to wholeness/salvation, and many thereafter for about 300 years before the invention of the new triune godhead way in the early 4th century. 

The devil's false triune godhead Christianity offers another way for you to follow, which belief in his way will cause you to think you may be saved.  What the triune godhead way proponents want you to believe is that you can still receive a new birth above in God's gift of his paternal holy Spirit, simultaneously at the same time you are committing idolatry, which is worshipping/idolizing God's firstborn son as being the one true God almighty in place of the real one true God almighty, Jesus Christ's Father, YHWH Elohim.

Jesus Christ warned us about a false way supposedly leading to him, but which in reality leads to destruction.  Was Jesus' mention of a wide gate and broad way leading to destruction a metaphor for the present kind of triune godhead model "Christianity" popular now?  The triune godhead model of "Christianity" is the only one I know of that hints of causing a person's destruction, on account of:

1. the triune godhead model's link to idolatrous religions,

2. the obfuscation of Christ Jesus' true identity,

3. the invitation to commit idolatry, breaking the first commandment, and

4. the obliteration of the presence of God's Kingdom in the current era.

This (houtos) [seed, AE] is (estin) the (ho) [Word of the Kingdom, RE] having been sown (spareis) alongside (para) the (tēn) way (hodon). 

How can anyone put together the Word of the Kingdom, i.e., connect the dots, if it has been fudged into obfuscation in Bible translations?  Bingo!

I believe that the modern false Constantinian Christianity is the wide gate into the broad way leading to destruction.  This triune godhead model of "Christianity" is not entirely false in all of its tenets; Jesus did ride a donkey into Jerusalem, and Mary did have a little "lamb".  But the major core tenets of the God's Evangelism have been obfuscated in Bible translations, enough to throw them into apparent confusion, which is enough to stifle people's vital growth in their belief, but still leaves the forged texts seemingly plausible enough to still appear as if they are part of God's Word.  The devil has sown tares, mistranslations and obfuscations, in the forms of paraphrases and creative "synonyms", in among the real crops of God's Word, whether written or spoken, to stifle people's belief, so that it is very difficult to distinguish between the two.  This is where the God, teaching you personally, comes in.  He can "see" the differences, and he'll show those differences to you!

Stifled belief is not rock solid belief, but only fragmentary belief with little confidence behind it, not a strong enough belief to act upon, which is the devil's goal, a wishy-washy, a "Well, I just don't know" kind of belief, which is spiritually powerless.  You know the false catchphrase, "The Bible translations are not wrong, it's only your understanding of them which is wrong."  If you believe that, then you've already kissed yourself goodbye!

If the devil has been working for thousands of years now, to steal the key of knowledge, he's had a lot of time to infiltrate the Bible translations you are reading.  His goal has been to give us a false God's Word in Bible translations, translations chucked full of adds, changes and deletions to God's Word, to render discrete subject matter Truths as indeterminate confusion.  This study of Jesus' apostle's use of prosdechomai in the biblical texts is a great example of one of the most popular ways the devil has been busy, 24/7, stealing the God's key of knowledge, Truth, associated in God's written Word with the word prosdechomai.

The God almighty himself promises to teach you his Word (Isa. 54:13; Jer. 31:31-34; John 6:45; 1 Thes. 4:9).

The ones whose perceptions of the Evangelism are being made smoky, the ones being destroyed, are the unbelieving ones, the ones not believing God's Word, but who are believing tons of other, invented, religious stuff, which they think is God's Word.  People can't believe the things in God's Word which they don't know, nor can they learn the things in God's Word about which they refuse to learn. 

From hearing the witnesses of some coming out of triune godhead-based "Christianity", I'm told that it's a common practice for people to be taught to believe that this verse means this, and that verse means that, and thereby supposed and invented triune godhead "meanings" are overlaid upon the biblical texts.  People are taught to read others' invented supposed meanings into those verses, instead of carefully reading verses to get the apostles' meanings out of those verses.  This is belief by proxy, a person basing their own personal belief upon only other's opinions and/or beliefs, but not upon one's own personal study of the biblical texts for himself.

Some, claiming to have some kind of authority from the God himself, demand you believe what they tell you to believe.  That's how the devil works.  But God's way is him teaching you himself, one on one, with you reading and studying God's Word, his Truth, while God, through his holy Spirit, reveals to you the meanings into your mind as you read and study.  What, you haven't experienced that yet?

When is the last time any religious leader, or believer, showed you out of the biblical texts that the God himself is the primary teacher of his children, through his son Christ Jesus in you (Col. 1:27)?  Jesus Christ has assigned some of those within his one body to assist him and his heavenly Father, believers with abilities and authority given to them to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds and teachers (Eph. 4:11).

Now, here are the fourteen verses in the biblical texts in which the biblical writers deliberately chose to use prosdechomai.

The first passage of fourteen, in which prosdechomai is used, going from Matthew to Revelation, is in Mark 15:43.  That the first use of an inflected form of prosdechomai is used to describe a believer causing himself to receive to himself the Kingdom of the God, seems a bit conspicuous to me.  Is it really coincidental?

*Mark 15:43 (LIT/UBS4) the (ho) Joseph (Iōsēph) having come (elthōn) from (apo) Arimathea (Harimathaias), [a] virtuous (euschēmōn) counselor (bouleutēs) who (hos) himself (autos) also (kai) was being (ēn) one causing himself to receive to himself (prosdechomenos) the (tēn) Kingdom⁹³² (basileian) of the (tou) God (theou), he having been [an] audacious one (tolmēsas) he entered in (eisēlthen) to (pros) the (ton) Pilate (Pilaton) and (kai) caused himself to request (ētēsato) the (to) body (sōma) of the (tou) Jesus (Iēsou).

Apostle Paul, in his letter to the believers in the Rome area, makes a simple and clear statement of exactly WHAT is and WHERE is the Kingdom of the God:

WHAT it is:

Rom. 14:17 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) the (hē) Kingdom⁹³² (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou) is (estin) absolutely not (ou) eating (brōsis) and (kai) drinking (posis), BUT (alla), [the Kingdom of the God, R E] [is] righteousness (dikaiosunē), and (kai) peace (eirēnē), and (kai) joy (chara) in (en) holy (hagiō) Spirit (pneumati)!

WHERE it is and WHEN it is:

Luke 17:20 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) he having received [an] inquiry (eperōtētheis) under (hupo) [authority, AE] of the (tōn) Pharisees (pharisaiōn) for when (pote) the (hē) Kingdom (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou) is caused to come (erchetai), he was caused to make [a] decision (apekrithē) for them (autois), and (kai) he enunciated (eipen), “The (hē) Kingdom (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou) is absolutely not caused to come (ouk erchetai) with (meta) careful watching alongside (paratērēseōs)!

(The Pharisees inquired about only when does the Kingdom of the God come.  For a thorough explanation by Jesus Christ about what is the Kingdom of the God, and when, and where, and how does the Kingdom of the God come into a believer, see Mark 4:1-32.)

Luke 17:21 (LIT/UBS4) But they shall absolutely not state (oude erousin), ‘Behold (idou), here (hōde)!’ or (ē), ‘Behold (idou), there (ekei)!’

Because (gar) behold (idou), the (hē) Kingdom⁹³² (basileia) of the (tou) God (theou) is (estin) within (entos) you (humōn)!”

John 3:3 (LIT/UBS4) Jesus (Iēsous) was caused to make [a] decision (apekrithē), and (kai) he enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), "Truly (amēn), truly (amēn) I say (legō) to you (soi), if perhaps (ean) anyone (tis) may not have been generated (mē gennēthē) up above (anōthen), he can absolutely not inherently power himself (ou dunatai) to see (idein) the (tēn) Kingdom⁹³² (basilian) of the (tou) God (theou)!”

This verse heavily implies, if not states, that one receiving a new birth above in God's gift of his holy Spirit has the ability to "see" and distinguish the Kingdom of the God from others' kingdoms.  But not until the cleansing of mortals' unrighteous hearts, through their belief in the name of Jesus, have mortals here upon earth been invited to enter into the God's Kingdom.  Those among sinful mortalkind who have already received forgiveness for their sins have already been joyfully received into the Kingdom of the God, the Kingdom of the Heavens.  I'm not saying they died and went to heaven.  I'm saying that before they died they already experienced the presence of the God's indwelling holy Spirit and Kingdom within them.  And when they are raised up out from among dead ones they will be raised up to meet Jesus in the air, coming for them.
