The 19th chapter, Luke chapter 19, starting with verse number 41. And when he approached, he saw the city and wept over it. Jesus weeping over Jerusalem, by the way. Saying, if you had known in this day, even you, the things which make for peace, but now they have been hidden from your eyes. The word peace is shalom, by the way, shalom. It's Iranian in Greek and shalom in Hebrew. And shalom, what does shalom mean? When you think about shalom, all through the Middle East, shalom, shalom, shalom, Hebrew, Greek, whatever, shalom. Shalom. Shalom means an agreement. You don't have peace until you have an agreement, do you? Well, the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank, a bulwark before you and surround you and ham you in on every side. Now the word bank here is different than the one we're going to talk about in a minute. This word bank here is a canal bank. Mitzrayim, the Hebrew name for Egypt, is a land of red bank, red mud and canal banks. Bank, this kind of bank. And He will level you to the ground and your children within you and they will not leave in you one soul upon another because you do not recognize the time of your visitation. That's when Jesus came. You didn't recognize when your Messiah King came. So you're going to be scattered. What we're talking about here, here is the cross of Calvary. This is when Jesus died. We're starting back in eternity past. Here's where Adam and Eve were created. All the way down here, Noah's time, human government. After that, the division of the earth and division of the languages. We have the promise to Abraham. We have the Egyptian bondage. We have the law. And the law should have read Israel to the Messiah. That's the purpose of it, to show them they couldn't do for themselves what God could do in salvation. Now, the cross of Calvary. Jesus is coming here. He came as a king. He was rejected by Israel. He was rejected. Many people believed. A lot of the Gentiles believed. But Israel, the administrator of God's kingdom during this time, God took away the keys of the kingdom from them and gave it to His Ecclesia, not Peter, but to the church. And after this time here now, He said, you did not know the day of your visitation, you would not know. And then verse number 45, that's where we're going to start in an English etymology actually, we're going to look at a word. And he entered the temple and began to cast out those who were bartering and selling, bartering and selling. And saying to them, it is written, and my house shall be a house of prayer, but you have made it into a den of robbers, like the Hole in the Wall gang. And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and leading ones among them were trying to destroy him. And he began to cast out those who were selling. What he did here, he turned over the benches. The benches there, first of all, you had to go in there and you had to trade whatever money you came from, you had to trade it into the temple money. And so they made up money on that. They made usury on that. And then you had to, if you brought a lamb, they'd find something wrong with the lamb. If you brought doves or whatever you were gonna make as a sacrifice, they would find something wrong with it and they'd sell you another one that were certified. And by the way, even as this, Down in Bethlehem, the fields down there where Jesus was born was also where they kept the sacrificial lambs. They sacrificed a lot of lambs and that's where they kept them. These certified sheep herders that watched over the perfect lambs and made sure they didn't have a blemish in them. Now what he did here is he turned over the benches. Now here, this is written in several different places. What he did, he went in there and he made a court of whips. a whip, a bullwhip-like thing. And he began to run these money changers and people that were selling and buying in the Temple area. And he said, this is my house is a house of prayer. And he turned over the benches. And he broke the benches, basically. Now, the word bankrupt comes from this word right here, bankrupt. Bankrupt. Bank, we know what a bank is, that's a bank. In ancient times, many of the temples were banks. And they would go in there, and you could take money into the pagan temple, and you could give it to an administrator, a banker, a bench man, and he would write it down in his ledger, and he would say, okay, I'm going to give you 1% interest per year, or whatever it was. And when they went back there, they should be able to get that money back. unlike many banks that have gone bankrupt. Now Jesus took a court of whips, made into a whip, he whipped these off, he ran them off, he turned over the cages and the doves flew out and all the animals were set free. That's the type of what Jesus would do to our sins. He would set us free from our sins. And then from that time on they wanted to kill him. This is when it all, they really, they hated him. He is gonna take our religion and our power away from us. He's gonna do this, he's gonna take it away. We won't have the power that we've had now. And we have to get rid of him. So let's start making plans to tell people to witness against him that he did this and he did that. And that's when they began to want to kill him. Now, bankrupt. These priests in these temple areas, if they weren't, they were supposed to be worthy of honor to where the people could trust them to take care of their money and make sure they had interest on it. But if a priest, and these were all priests, they had great big temple areas. If you look at the olden banks here in America, a bank would have a great big relief, some lions and whatever. This is typifying the pagan temples where the banks were originally. in the temple areas of the paganism. Now, if a priest did something wrong, if he stole the money and took off, run off, they'd go get him, bring him back, and they would break his bench. When they convicted him of this crime, he was bankrupt, a broken bench. His bench, his bank was broken. And that's where you get the word bankrupt in English. And if you can bring that out right here in the book that we study in the Word of God. They were bankrupt because they were spiritually incompetent. They were supposed to lead the people to Jesus and they led Him away from Jesus. They led the people away from Jesus instead of leading them to Him. And so they're bankrupt. The whole story of the cleansing of the temple, is that Jesus declared them bankrupt. They were unprofitable priests. Remember when we talked about the talents, the parable of the talents? Here again, we have this man that was inscrupulous, that he was not reliable. He was cast out. Cast out. His bench was broken. And so these are some of the things that you look at. Let's go back and look at some more English words now. English etymology in the Bible. So we studied one about bankrupt. Bankrupt is a broken bench. He declared that they were bankrupt and he whipped them and ran them out of his father's house. Now how about a word, insult. Now did they insult Jesus many times? Did Jesus insult them? Jesus said, He said, oh ye scribes, pharisees, and hypocrites, you make brodger for lacqueries, and et cetera, and et cetera, and then you tear down widows' homes, you rob them, and you rob the poor, and you rob the orphans. You are wicked. Wicked. He humiliated them. He humiliated them. And if you work in the garden, and humility means on the ground. On the ground. Humus. Humus. This word comes straight from Latin without changes in spelling the word earth. Humus. Having humilis from the same language meant to be on the ground. When you are humbled, you are on the ground. Instead of falling at Jesus' feet like they did on the triumphal injury, they wanted to bring Him down. They wanted to humiliate Him. So if you have humility, that is about where you are going to go to the ground. You are going to prostrate yourself on the earth and not think much of yourself but think about whom that you are kneeling to. And the Bible says that all, every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess. When a dead body is exhumed, the humus, the body, it is exhumed. It means you have taken the body out of the earth, out of the graveyard. Ignome. Let's look at that word for a minute again. Ignome. Ignome means without a name. No name. Paul told Israel that they had missed the mark, that they had gone astray, and then he told for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. And then he told the Gentiles that they were a people without a God. Without a God, no people with a no-nation. A no-name, not a name, ignominy means without a name. The Latin para-ignomia means that same thing, that is disgrace and dishonor. The Latin parts of ignomania are in, not, and nomen, name, without a name, ignomin, without a name. You are a people without a name. You are a people without a God. You are a people without a nation. You have lost your reputation, ignomin. The same idea is connected with the use of the word name, nomos, in Greek. In English we speak having a good name or having a name for some particular skill. In the 1611 translation of the Bible, there is a passage that reads, they were children of fools. Yes, children of base men. It means pale children with no name. Children that were illegitimate children, bastard children. Children with no name. And a marginal note that has come down to us through the years, that they were men of no name. Around 1365, Jeffrey Chancer wrote this line, ìThus you shall be dead, and also, ìEase thy name,î and also, ìyou will not have a name.î Insult, the word insult. Did Jesus insult the Pharisees? Was he insulted? Was he slapped? Was he beaten? Was he spit upon? Yes, he was insulted. The word insult means to leap upon. Did they leap upon Jesus out there in the Garden of Gethsemane? Did they leap upon him? Yes. The New Standard Dictionary carries as one of the obsolete meanings of insult is to attack, suddenly, an assault. To leap upon. And this is precisely the way the word was first used. This whole meaning was derived from the Latin insolatus. to leap upon, and from in, upon, and salio, to leap. And so we have the word to leap upon, to insult. If someone jumps on you, you ever have somebody jump on you for no good reason? They leaped upon you, they insulted you when you were jumped on. The word makishi, makish, makish, is a pretty kind of a lousy word. It means something that is pretty lousy, pretty base. And we don't have to be told that the word comes from the unpleasant insect. Mokish. Mokish. That is the word louse. It's a louse. And lice eggs. People used to get lice in their hair and they'd lay lice eggs and you could just see it shimmering and the lice crawling. The word mockish comes from the word maggot or the word that, the lice eggs and the maggots. In similar fashion, the word mockish is straight from the word mock, the 17th century word for the grub-like larva of an insect, the maggot. And some scholars think this all originates with the Scandinavian term for mothcay. Mothcish meant simply without appetite, inclined to be sickly. If you have chickens, I've had chickens all my life, but if you have chickens in a pen where birds can fly in like sparrows and things, Those sparrows will go in there and they'll leave mites and lice on your chickens. You have to put small enough screening and everything around a chicken pen to where the wild birds won't get in there. If the wild birds get in there, then your chickens get lice all over them and they become sickly. A baby chicken, if you get so many lice on them, it'll suck all the blood out of them and they'll just die. The word mockies means without appetite, inclined to be sickly. Something that makes you feel sick. Like the actions of an orpher, sentimental, mawkish lover. Melancholy. The word melancholy. You know in the Bible it talks about people being melancholy. It talks about people being sad. And there in Genesis, the first few chapters, Jehovah was walking in the garden and he saw Cain. And Cain had made the wrong kind of offering. He offered a cursed offering from a cursed ground. He offered fruit from the ground, fruit from the earth. And he said, Cain, Cain gotten, by the way, Eve named him Gotten. We have gotten even Jehovah. They thought he was Jehovah. They thought the Messiah was born, Genesis 3, 15, the promise. They thought the Messiah was born and they got him. We got him Cain, Cain. Well, Cain was very sad. He was melancholy. And Jesus, the pre-incarnate Christ, Jehovah, attended to him and said, Cain, won't you stop being melancholy if you just tithe right, do right? He was trying to cut corners. Instead of bringing a lamb to for his sacrifice, for his sins, he brought fruit of the ground, which is barley, wheat. Instead of trading that wheat for a lamb, he just brought the wheat, which is a cursed offering from a cursed ground. Now, when he did that, he was cutting corners. One of the things there, he says, Kay, won't you cut straight? Won't you divide correctly? Won't you tie? Won't you give me what is mine? That land is mine. Now, he's a farmer, agriculturalist. And he trades his pride and his life to cut corners because he would have had to pay a lot of wheat and grain for a lamb. Because it takes a lot of wheat, grain and grass to raise a lamb up to where he was a year old. And he wants to cut corners. He doesn't want to do what he's supposed to do. He wants God to accept him as he is. We have to accept God as he is and God is holy. Melancholy. Melancholy means black vial. Black Bob. What did the Cane do out, go out and do after God confronted him and said, just why don't you divide correctly and why don't you tithe, why don't you give me this sacrifice? Just a bag of grain, a bushel of grain or something, when it would take many bushels of grain to make one pound of lamb. The Greeks defined melancholia as the black bile that produces temperament. They used to think that you had to be bled. George Washington was bled to death when he was sick. They would bleed him so much they had to get the black bile out of him that was making him sick. They believed that the presence of too much black bile in the system, mellus, black, mellus, black, and bile, chloe, that caused the blues. This notion went down through the centuries. The American Indians over here, they were giving medicine to people. They were studying botany and they were studying, they developed corn, squash, beans, all kinds of stuff, potatoes, tomatoes, all of this was a developed food. They had developed it. And then their medicine was to help a man. in the European theater, people would bleed each other. The barber was a doctor. He would go along and cut your veins and bleed it into a basin because he wanted to balance and get that black bile out of you of whatever was making you sick. The Elizabethans thought that the sullen and gloomy people were suffering from this disease, which was very fashionable at the time among the ultra-refined. The favorite dose for depression in fainting females was a melancholy water. A woman that would faint, they would say she was melancholy. They had too much black bile in them and they would cut them. George Washington would go to the barber and be bled and they would put leeches on you. Misogamist. The word misogamist. Misogynist, many an old bachelor is a misogynist. Many an old bachelor is a misogynist. A somogymous misanthropy, the inspiration for the word misogynist is the Greek word miso, hating, miso means to hate, and then gamos is marriage. to hate marriage. A misogynist is somebody that hates marriage and we have that a lot in the Catholic Church. A man and a woman have a desire to be with each other. They make their priest be celibate and it just ruins their whole mental idea. They hate marriage. The misogynist is a hater of women. This mesogynist, mesogynist, meso to hate women, is a hater of women again, to hate, to hate meso and to gynae women. We have the word gynecologist in the English, a woman doctor. While the word misanthropy comes from the Greek word for to hate plus anthropos, to hate mankind. Sometimes today you think that all the way from Obama this way. They hated America. They hated America. They humiliated our country. And these are supposed to be the leaders loving our country. Mythonthropists is one who hates mankind. Again in Greek, the word philo, love, is a philanthropist means to what? To love people. philanthropists, the love people. Philadelphia, that means the city of brotherly love. Now in the Greek language, there are several words for love. One of them is phileo, that means, we get a word friend basically from that, phileo. It means to have a fond kindness towards somebody, to be really, you have to have a lot of passion and patience for somebody to live. Then we have the word Eros in Greek and this is where we get the word erotic and this means a sexual attraction. Then we have the word Poneros. Now Poneros means evil. It means prostitute. It means homosexual. But all of it has the idea of a person that is selling their affections. A person that is selling their affections. Poneros. very evil, wicked. Prostitution, male prostitutes, the dogs that won't be in heaven it says, that's a male prostitute. Then we have the word Agapeo. Agapeo means divine, brotherly love. It means a love that you will give your life for someone. Then you have the word Storge. Storge means your family, your love for your family, and sometimes people today don't have that. They just don't have any love for the family at all. The word storge means to love your family, a family attraction, a family blood. A long time ago, Wyatt Earp, and Wyatt Earp was in the Bakersfield area and Los Angeles area. He was in Los Angeles supervising over Western movies and films. Anyway, Wyatt Earp, his father told him one time he was down and out, he was in jail, and he told him, remember your family. Remember your blood. No woman, no one else is more important than your blood, than your family. The word naughty. Naughty. The word naughty means good for nothing. If you're naughty, you're good for nothing. In the days of Miles Stanleys, they spoke of the naughty canoes. This gives you an idea of the original meaning of the word, worthless, of bad quality. And just good for nothing, good for naught, good for nothing. This was merely a stronger way of saying not, which is derived from the old English, now which is no wit, stupid, no wit. Naughty means no wit, it means stupid, it means nothing up above their shoulders. A naughty, later on naughty came to signify evil and corrupt as a naughty pack. A naughty pack, a naughty agreement. That is a woman of bad character, a woman of prostitution. Not until fairly modern times did Naughty come to describe a child's mischief as he misbehaves. Nice. Let's look at the word nice, N-I-C-E, nice. Nice formerly meant ignorant. Nice, if you were nice, you were ignorant. In the Middle Ages, nice meant a foolish or ignorant person. Where it comes from, the Latin word necio, necio, which is made of ne, not, and co, to know, not to know. Nice, they don't know anything. You're nice, you're ignorant. And then because ignorant people are often silent, it means that one who is shy or coy. Sometimes shy folks get the reputation of being a little uppish because of their uppish ways. I think it was Eric Clapton. He was a great guitarist. Eric Clapton. And he was basically an isolationist. He was a hermit. He did not like to be around people at all. But he played beautiful music and he would play. But most of the time he wanted to play it and put it on phonographs. albums or whatever they had at that time. CDs now and DVDs, whatever. He was a nice person. He was a person that didn't want to be around other people. Nice also came from the word hard to please. Precise, exacting. We use it in the same sense today when we said that is a nice exacting problem, exacting, a nice exacting, a hard problem. Finally, it became generally, in its meaning, is now applied to many things such as nice people, a nice taste or good taste, or a nice disposition. How about the word ordeal? Ordeal. Ordeal means literally to test with boiling water. To test with boiling water. People during the dark ages had some weird ideas. I mean weird. If you were accused by someone of being a witch they'd take you out and if you could put your hand into a fire and pick up burning cold, without any pain, then you had to be innocent. They put you through this ordeal. They put your hand in boiling water. They would squish your finger and thumbs with a thumb screw. They would pull your body apart. This is all the word ordeal means to test or to torture. When a girl says that her day of shopping was quite an ordeal, She is using the word in a somewhat softer sense than its original meaning. In England, of another day of this term, the word spelled Hordal in Old English meaning judgment and was most often used in the phrase trial of ordeal, trial of ordeal or trial by ordeal. A phrase that recalls a legal practice of ancestral British courts and other places too. If a defendant in this original ordeal carried a red-hot iron without being burned, he was innocent. They're going to put a red-hot iron into a furnace or some type of thing like a kiln and bring it out and it would be red-hot and if he could carry that in his hand without being burned, he was innocent. If he flinched at plunging his hand into boiling water, he was guilty. Ordeal means to test with boiling water, literally. It was as simple as that. That the test varied from time to time, and now an ordeal can be a severe test of character, or just a trying experience. The word ostracon, ostracon, ostracon. Ostracized comes from that. When society ostracizes a person today, it is recalling one of the pointer aspects of old Greek democracy. From time to time, the Athenians would make up their minds that the influence of a certain public man was dangerous and unwholesome. That's what they did to Paul, you know. They wanted to ostracize him. On such an occasion, the citizens would assemble in the marketplace and vote to whether the fellow should be banished. Banished, ostracized means banished also. They simply wrote the name of an undesirable down on a tile or potter called an ostracon. That was an ostracon. These ostracons we find today, they have many bible verses on them and everything. There was no special accusation brought before a vote, nor trial, nor redress. After the votes were taken, if 6,000 ostraconlys were cast, The victim just kept out of sight for five to ten years. He was supposed to be banished for five to ten years. Keep out of sight. That was all. From the Greek term ostracon came our word ostracize with its present and somewhat less brutal significance. The word parasites, parasites. To eat beside you, what the parasite means, para and cetes, it means to eat beside. A man means in ancient Greek or Rome usually had a good fellow, many followers who would flatter and fawn on him in the interest of being well fed at his table. They were parasites, parasites to that end of that day and the Latin word parasitis Parasitis is responsible for the word, and it stems from the Greek word parasitos, formed from the para, beside, and sitos, food. To eat food beside. Nowadays, a parasite is an obstinate, flat flatterer, one who lives on another's expense. or an animal or plant that depends on another organism for existence. Mistletoe. Mistletoe is a parasite. It usually hangs in different trees. And a mistletoe is a parasite, especially in oak trees. A parasite. Pariah. Pariah means he beat the drum. He beat the drum. is a social outcast. But this is a misinterpretation of the East Indian word. In that country, a pariah is a member of the labor caste who works in the fields of the Tamil countryside of Madras. In other words, he's a bottom-of-the-line worker. Their name comes from paris-dram and Empire's drum because they were hereditary beaters of the drum. Europeans have always had them as house servants. For this reason, their employers, who were usually British, ranked them at the bottom of the social scale, the caste system. This accounts for our meaning of the word, pariah. The word pester, have you ever pestered somebody for something? I remember A while after I met Marilyn, in the yesteryears, I actually met her when I was very young, also. I met her in the service station many times. I used to fill their car up when they were going traveling. And they'd always, her dad would always say, top it off. And I'd top it off, and then I'd wash the windows, and I'd check the air in the tires. the oil in the engine and whatever they wanted me to do, I did. Pastor. Well, Maryland years later, and Dakota, my daughter also, Dakota wanted a mother really bad. And she kept trying to find me a wife. Anyway, she Marilyn watched her when she was ill, and I couldn't take her to church, so I dropped her off at her house, because I had to go by that house, and straight down the road was nearly at the church, right there where you're real close to it. And I came and picked her up one time, and Dakota come up to me and she said, Dada, can I call Marilyn Mama? I think she'd be a good mama. Can I call Marilyn Mama? And then Marilyn asked me if she could kiss me a little bit. And then she wanted to know if we could be engaged. So I was, she pestered me, Dakota pestered me looking for a mother. A simple word, pester means to hobble. Yet it's original, far away from the present meaning, the Roman farmer hobbled his horse to keep them from wandering in and out of the pasture. and the word pastoreum meant feather. Though it was derived from pastas, feeding, which gives us the word pasture. They were hobbled in the pasture and they would feed. Pasture. The word pasture. From the phrase pastoreum in the pasture grew an old French word impasteur, which meant to hobble while feeding. This came to us through impester, which was shortened to pester. Then in the past to, the past is hobbles. The past is hobble. When we used to come up here and hunt wild horses, we'd catch them and train them and make good cow ponies out of them and whatever they wanted. Just sometimes just a good riding horse, but we'd take them and we'd hobble them up here in the mountains. We would throw off a rope cornel up there on Middle Canyon, or not Middle Canyon, but on Trail Canyon, that trail creek coming down there. We'd put a fence around out there with just ropes, fix a little gate in it. And we'd hobble them so they couldn't jump over or try to whatever. They'd stay right in there in that area. We'd hobble. To pasture means to hobble. It means to let the feet feed. I remember I had a horse named Rocket, Red Rocket. He was a beautiful Morgan stallion when I started training him. And I, he was so good, so quick, that I trained him for my friend's daughter. And that daughter went out, she would do pole bending and barrel racing with him. He was so fast and so quick that she'd fall off him all the time. And I, he really liked me a lot. And he called me on the phone, he says, Jimmy, he says, Rocket is just too much horse for my dollar. Would you like to buy him? Now he'd spent several hundred dollars, maybe even $1,000 to $2,000 on training that horse. And he was a tremendous, one of the best horses ever rode in my life. Never buckled me. My dad got him to train from Jack McMillan. And he said, Jimmy, now that horse has never been ridden. He said, I'm heavier than you are. And he said, not only that, but I'm older. And he said, if I get bucked off, I may get hurt. I can't get up. And he said, you ride these broncs, and if you get bucked off, you just get right up. You just bounce up. Would you ride that horse first? I said, yeah. I got on him and never bucked a lick. I brought him up here and started training wild horses or chasing wild horses with him. And only time he ever bucked was when we rode across a great meadow up there at the foot of Boundary Peak. And we were chasing wild horses. And he bucked all the way across that big meadow. He was bucking. Well, Jack McMillan sold me that horse for $150. And I was building a horse trail for him. I hadn't finished building the horse trail yet. I was doing it. I was about to go get him. Just about to finish. And Jack called me on the phone and he said, Jimmy, he said, I hate to tell you this. He said, I took Rocket over here and I hobbled him in the front yard to eat the grass in the front yard because he just loved to eat grass. And he said, open the gate. And he ran out there in front of a truck and a truck hit him and killed him. He was hobbled, hobbled eating, hobbled. Hobble means a pester, to pasture. The word prevaricate, it means to distort. Prevaricate means to distort. It means a crooked bending of the truth. To prevaricate is a nice word for why. The Latin word precarious, latus that is, gave to us from the word pray, excessively and various, straddling. It means to comes to the word spurious, which means bent. When you sit on a post or a rail on a fence, sometimes it will sag and be bent. That means a crooked, bent board. That is, when you prevaricate, you are bending the truth in a most importunity. You know, if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember the lie, do you? If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember the lie. The word quick. There's a movie, The Quick and the Dead, remember? The quick is alive. It means the once meaning alive. When you say that I am hurt to the quick, you are using the word in its original sense, precisely in the biblical phrase, the quick and the dead. The quick and the dead. Bible, the quick and dead shall rise. The quick are the ones that are living and the dead. The dead shall rise first and then the quick will rise. This common word is spelled Kweka, Kweke or Kweke and it's signified nothing more than the presence of life. The presence of life. Hayah in Hebrew. Hayah, living thing. quick living thing. Not so long ago when the people spoke of quick stock, they meant livestock. Quick stock, it means livestock. Livestock means livestock. A quick fence was a hedge because unlike a stone or wooden fence, it was a living hedge. A quick fence is a living fence. People will, vines will grow over their fences. A quick fence was a hedge because unlike the stone fence or wooden fence, it was living. Down here now on Cord Ranch, before it was Cord Ranch, it was the Leidy Ranch. And they went up Leidy Creek up there and the real tall poplars were up there. They were real tall poplars. And they cut them all off because they were going to build a fence all around the Leidy Ranch. And later, Eric Logan Cord bought it. E.L. Cord wanted to build the Duesenberg Auburns and Cord automobiles. Well, anyway, they brought all of those fence posts down in a wagon, pulled by horses, and they had some Indian people there working with them to put these fence posts up. They put these fence posts up out there, and they were going to string wire on them. Well, within a few days, the fence posts had leaves and limbs coming out of them, because they were real fresh cut, a live cut. They were quick cut, quick cut, once living. And all these fifth poles became trees, and you can go down there today and see trees, and you've probably seen me in some of the videos where you go by all these real tall, popular trees. And they were planted over a hundred years ago. And they were quick. They were alive. Quick means the presence of life. Quick stock means livestock. It means stock that was living. That fence became a live fence, a quick fence down there. Quick sand means sand that moves. A quick wine was a sparkling and effervescent wine. Soon conductors were telling us to be quick and step lively. Step lively. Quick means to step lively. Step quickly means step lively. And the transition was made to the meaning of lively and speedy, quick. Quick, hurry up. We got a word, toxus, toxus, toxus. Toxus is a Greek word which means quick. When you call a taxi, you expect the ride to get there with you quick. And you're going to get this taxi driver to get you there quickly, lively. The word rapture, it comes from the the Latin word rapere, and it means literally to carry off. A raptor is an animal, a bird that is, that has claws.
