Holy TremblingMarch 25th, 2012
The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: he sits between the
cherubims; let the earth be moved . . . Tremble, thou earth, at the
presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob . . . For all thosethings hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the
LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a
contrite spirit, and trembles at my word . . . Hear the word of the
LORD, ye that tremble at His word;
Psalm 99:1; 114:7; Isaiah 66:2,5
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shalldrive it far from him.

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who
are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the
flesh made by hands; that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of
promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ
Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by the blood of
Christ.
Ephesians 2:11-13

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell

falsehood have we hid ourselves.

Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, bless them that curse
you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that
smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh
away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also . . . love ye your enemies,
and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be
great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the
unthankful and to the evil.

Way a man ought to walk in, wholly without sin.

A Quick Study in the Way of God
The Great CondescensionThe Highness of God entering the Stable of Manhood
.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor
with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of
his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and
of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How
shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the
Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall
be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Luke 1:30-35
Spargano [Spr-g-no'-] - to wrap in swaddling clothesOmnipotence wrapped in weakness
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Luke 2:11-12
God come to earth . . . as a Little Lamb?Where the highness of God and weakness of Humanity Intersect
God setting aside His Almighty Godness
God forsaking His Fiery Presence and His cloud of Glory
God relinquishing the continual worship of the angelic multitudes
God purposely trading His Almighty Lions mane for a Lambs wooly stature

God, who still was 100% God, and knew He was God, and was unabashed by the fact that He
was God, gave up His reputation as the GREAT I AM and became one of no reputation
God, the Master of Worlds, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, took on the form of a bond-
servant, and allowed His ear to be pierced by His Father in Heaven, that He would be bound to
do nothing of His own will
God, condescended to take on the swaddling clothes of humanity and is laid in a feeding trough
as food for the starving multitudes
God, functioning in the capacity of a mere man, unrecognizable as God, but God nonetheless,
humbled Himself even further by becoming obedient to the point of death, even the horrifying
and gruesome death of the cross
God, actually died
God, tasted the penalty of Sin, the wrath of God, and the dreadful judgment of AlmightyRighteousness
The Hagios Way of God
the Other Way, the way of the Holy, Holy, Holy King
the way that is free and clean of all defilement, crimes, idolatries, and impurities. (qadowsh - kdshe')
Unpacking the Beauty of Hagios
It comes from the Word -Hagos - (something that strikes men with utter awe and wonder)
Root #1 -Hagnos (perfect, unsullied, otherly, awe-striking-bewildering-extravagant purity)
Root #2 -Chag(a feast, festival sacrifice, a pilgrim-feast)
Hagnos + Chag = Hagos
Hagios (Hagos [a thing] revealed now as a Person)the something that strikes men with utter awe and wonder has come - His name is Jesus - and He is
Hagios, Hagios, Hagios!
-
7/28/2019 Ellerslie Sermon Notes - Holy Trembling

Jesus is the Way of God - the Other Way - the Hagios Way
that way of humble sacrifice - the wholly pure, holy, otherly, unsullied, awe-inspiring, Almighty Lamb
become an extravagant feast for an impure, unholy, worldly, sullied world.
Hagios, Hagios, HagiosWe cry out in utter astonishment, struck with awe
For the Perfect, Unsullied, Awe-striking Purity and Otherness has Himself
become the Food for the Feast!
The Perfect, Unsullied, Awe-striking Purity and Otherness has Himself
become the Food for the Feast!
The Perfect, Unsullied, Awe-striking Purity and Otherness has Himself
become the Food for the Feast!

Lets admit it . . . we are headed in a completely different direction
Our way
to the place of power, fame, wealth, and pleasure
to the place of ease and self-satisfaction
to the place farthest removed from difficulty, pain, and trial
The Way
to the place of suffering, rejection, mockery
to the place of weakness, physical pain, affliction, trial, and tribulation
to the place of vulnerability, sacrifice, and entire givenness
to the place of an animals food, the feeding trough, to be the clean food
eaten by the unclean beasts

The Way ofPasch(The Way of Being Made the UmblemishedPascha)
Gods otherly way of training His children, Gods otherly means of constructing the Wise man, the
Second Born. He trains through the Rod ofPasch (Greek), through the Rod of Muwcar (Hebrew).
Though He (Jesus) were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
which he suffered (by HisPasch, by playing the part of the Little Lamb,
gladly suffering in His Body, and by spending His Life, His strength, and
His grace for the benefit of those about Him).
Hebrews 5:8

The Hachmonite (Chokmah-n-ite)the son of wisdom
(He) sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the
Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one
time.
2 Samuel 23:8
Adino the Ezniteexcerpted from Chapter Eight in Wrestling Prayer
In our English vernacular the nickname Adino the Eznite doesnt quite
have the ring of poetry and beauty that many of us prefer. It sounds rather
cartoonish and awkward. But in the Hebrew it was anything but. It wassomething that sort of sounded like `Etsen `Adiynow. But it wasnt the
sound of the name that evoked such deep affection between David and
Jashobeam, it was the meaning behind the name . . .
`Etsen `Adiynow.
The Hebrew words packaged in this nickname are not typical, and
therefore have proven challenging for scholars to fully pin down. But
there are certain beautiful attributes of this name that speak volumes.
The word `Etsen seems to denote a weapon of God, sharp to the dividing
of joint and marrow, and strong to the destruction of darkness.
-
7/28/2019 Ellerslie Sermon Notes - Holy Trembling
16/17
While the word `Adiynow seems to create a picture of a Kings glory, a
Kings crown, a Kings badge of triumph. Its like the reward given a King
after victory, hung like an ornament about His neck.
And yet when these words coalesce together into one name, they become
something even more powerful and demonstrative. They seem to become
more than a name; they become a story. They shout the tale of a mighty
man, hot and ardent with the flame of fiery love, lifting up a sharp, strong
weapon, destroying the host of darkness, and proving the glory of his
beloved King.
`Etsen `Adiynow is no mere name. It is a name above other names. It is a
name that boasts of triumph and boasts of indefatigable strength. It
proclaims that the impossible has been accomplished. It says that one man
has stood against three hundred and vanquished every last one. And then
it says, if that was not enough, that he stood against eight hundred and
singlehandedly preserved his beloved Kings throne.
Such is the End of the Wisdomite
The End Result of Trembling Before the Kings Maxim
