  17. “Miracle” - Defining Terms Romans 15:18-19

  18. Terms Used for Miraculous Action • Original words translated “miracle” or “power” • Dunamis (“power”) or Exousia (“authority”) • Focus is on the event itself & its cause • Original word translated “sign” is Semeion • Focus is that signified to beholder by action • Sign may teach by: showing reason for faith (Jn. 20:30f), confirming power to act (Matt. 9:6-8) or illustrating the principle being taught (Mark 8:11-29) • Word translated “wonder” is most often Teras • It means “astonish,” “amazed,” “marvel,” “in awe,” etc. • Focus is on how man views the act or effect on witness • Words combine to give clear view of act & purpose

  19. Cases of Miracles

  20. Creation • Psa. 33:6f Spoken into completed being • Heb. 11:3 Framed by word of God • Repeated statements of Genesis 1 are key: • “And God said… and it was so” • “Let there be _____ and there was _____” • “And God saw that it was good” “And God saw everything that He had made and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. And the heavens and the earth were finished...”

  21. Exodus, Wandering & Victory • Plagues brought upon Egypt (Exodus 7-12) Water to blood Frogs Lice Flies Murrain of cattle Boils Hail Locusts Darkness upon Egypt Death of firstborn • Led, fed & sustained people in wilderness • God delivered by dividing the Red Sea (Ex. 14) • God provided manna, quail & water throughout • Victory given to Israel by power of God • Walls of Jericho made to fall (Josh 6) • Sun stood still as enemies pursued (Josh 10:12f)

  22. During Time of Prophets • Prophet of Judah (1 Kings 13:1-6) • Miracles worked by Elijah (1 Kings) • Multiplying of food & resurrection (17:8-24) • Fire brought upon sacrifice at Carmel (18:37f) • Miracles worked by Elisha (2 Kings) • Division of Jordan River to cross (2:7-14) • Man buried with Elisha raised (13:20f) • Healing & sign given to Hezekiah (2 Kg 20)

  23. During Earthly Ministry of Jesus • Multiplied food (Matt. 14:15f 5k; 15:32f 4k) • Healed the sick (Matt. 4:23f; 9:35; Lk. 4:40) • Made blind to see (Jn. 9: Matt. 9:27f; 20:30f) • Lepers made whole (Mk. 1:40f; Lk. 17:12f) • Bodies made whole (Mk. 3:1f; Lk. 22:50f) • Raised the dead (Lk. 7:11f; 8:41f; Jn. 11:1f) • Cast out demons (Lk. 4:31f; 8:26f; 11:14f) • Over natural world (Matt. 8:23f; Jn. 6:16f)

  24. During Apostolic Time • Miracles of apostles foretold (Mark 16:15f) • Lame man cured at temple (Acts 3:2-10) • Aeneas healed of palsy (Acts 9:32-35) • Dorcas raised from dead (Acts 9:36-42) • Crippled man healed at Lystra (Acts 14:8f) • Demon cast out of woman (Acts 16:16-18) • Special miracles by Paul (Acts 19:11-12) • Eutychus raised from dead (Acts 20:9-12) • Unharmed by venomous viper (Acts 28:3f)

  25. Miracles Not Worked Throughout Bible History • Miracles recorded in times when God was revealing Himself & His will to man • Not presented as common from Adam to Noah • Not seen as norm of daily life with Abraham • Only noted in small portion of Jewish history • Where are the miracles in book of Job? • Where are the miracles in book of Esther? • Why not seen in every time if always needed?

  26. Miracles May Be Temporary • Example seen in selection of 70 elders from Israel to help Moses (Numbers 11) • Spirit to be put upon them (vs. 16-17) • 70 are chosen & presented (vs. 24-25) • “When the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied…” • “…but they did so no more” • KJV:“did not cease”is mistranslation • Once place confirmed, no need for more

  27. Nature of Bible Miracles

  28. Action of Bible Miracles Was... • INSTANTANEOUS • did not start & slowly develop over time • witnesses saw both start & full effect of action • BEYOND NATURAL EXPLANATION • witnesses repeatedly said different from norm • action did not conform to physical processes • no beginning by God & continuing by nature • EVIDENCE TO UNBELIEVER • not done to confirm believers or give 2nd grace

  29. No One Questioned Fact of Miracles in Bible Times Only Question Was Power Behind It Contrast That with Claims of “Miracles” Today Oral Roberts

  30. Purpose of Miracles in Bible

  31. Pentecostal & Charismatics Say... • “Jesus is same yesterday, today & forever” • “Miracles needed to produced faith today” • “Miracles needed to confirm truth today” • “Gifts of Spirit needed to show who are God’s people today” • “Gifts needed as evidence of our salvation” • “Spirit must be working miracles today - just look at Oral Roberts or ….” • However, need to compare with Bible time

  32. Plain Statements of Scripture Show Purpose

  33. John 15:24-27 24If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father. 25But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26But when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall bear witness of Me: 27and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.

  34. Mark 16:17-20 17And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in My name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; 18they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19So then the Lord Jesus, after He had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word by the signsthat followed.

  35. Hebrews 2:1-4 1Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away from them. 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; 3how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard; 4God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will.

  36. Plain Statements of Purpose • John 15:24-27 • Witness of apostles & witness of Spirit • Principle upheld of plurality of witnesses • Mark 16:17-20 • Word confirmed by accompanying signs • Hebrews 2:1-4 • Signs, wonders, powers & gifts of Spirit were witness of God to revealed message

  37. Summary of Purpose (1) Reveal message under divine control (2) Prove truth revealed by apostles is of divine origin by miracles __________________________________ CONFIRM THE WORD
