Name Meanings Are Essential to Understand Deborah

(Continued from: "Introduction: Deborah's story gives explains the role of the Holy Spirit")

The meanings of Hebrew names can almost tell the whole story by themselves. They show how the allegory is assembled. For example: Deborah means "orderly motion" and the Holy Spirit is who motivates men to do God's will. She is married to Lappidoth which means "lamp or shine". He performs his work of proclaiming Jesus (the light of men) while standing between man (dead in sin) and God (in heaven).

Law (Legalism) vs. Grace

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. (Ephesians 2:14-16 - NIV)
