Stephen Addresses the Council (continuation)
44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion (pattern) that he had seen.
45 Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus (Yeshua) into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave (drove) out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
46 Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 But Solomon built him an (a) house.
48 Howbeit (However,) the most High dwelleth (lives) not in temples made with hands; as saith (says) the prophet [Isaiah],
49 Heaven is my (My) throne, and earth is my (My) footstool: what house will ye (you) build me (Me)? saith (says) the Lord: or what is the place of my (My) rest?
50 Hath (Has) not my hand made all these things?
51 Ye stiffnecked (You stubborn) and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye (you) do always resist the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit): as your fathers did, so do ye (you).
(NOTE: METAPHOR MEANING: uncircumcised in heart = not pure in the heart. See Romans 2:29)
Romans 2:29 King James Version (KJV)
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain (killed) them which shewed (showed) before of the coming of the Just One (Righteous One); of whom ye (you) have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition (administration) of angels, and have not kept it.
54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth (and they began grinding their teeth [in rage] at him).
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit), looked up stedfastly (steadfastly, firmly) into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus (Yeshua) standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold (See), I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man (Son of Man; Yeshua) standing on the right hand of God.
57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast (threw) him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus (Yeshua), receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Job’s First Speech
3 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 And Job spake (spoke), and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell (live) upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Lo (Look), let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine (my) eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21 Which long for death, but it cometh not (does not come); and dig for it more than for hid (hidden) treasures;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid (hidden), and whom God hath hedged (has fenced [of protection]) in?
24 For my sighing cometh (comes) before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Eliphaz First Response to Job
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 If we assay to commune with thee (If we dare to converse with you), wilt thou (will you) be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Behold, thou hast (you have) instructed many, and thou hast (you have) strengthened the weak hands.
4 Thy (Your) words have upholden (helped) him that was falling, and thou hast (You have) strengthened the feeble (weak) knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee (you), and thou faintest (you are impatient); it toucheth thee (it touches you), and thou art (you are) troubled (horrified).
6 Is not this thy (your) fear, thy (your) confidence, thy (your) hope, and the uprightness of thy (your) ways?
7 Remember, I pray thee (you), who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity (sin), and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 The old lion perisheth (dies) for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad (and the cubs of the lioness are scattered).
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine (my) ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth (falls) on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine (my) eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly (error):
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Doth (Does) not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

uncircumcised in heart meaning in the Bible
(NOTE: METAPHOR MEANING: uncircumcised in heart = not pure in the heart. See Romans 2:29)
Romans 2:29 King James Version (KJV)
But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH
The video below is done by a Jewish Hebrew language lady teacher. Her name is Ayelet. She is born and raised in Israel. Hebrew is her native language. In this video, we will be able to learn the correct pronunciation of the Messiah’s original name in Hebrew:-
VIDEO: Jesus – Yeshua in Hebrew – Hebrew Word of the Day (59 secs) – by The WORD in HEBREW
In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach = Messiah (English) / Anointed One
In Hebrew (full name): יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One. NOTE: Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).
In Greek = Christos
In English = Christ = Messiah = Anointed One

And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / God has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”
Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yeshua), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.
John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yeshua) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
