See for more themes. | ( 31 ) Mt 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble "shaphal" himself as this little child , the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven .
.. Whosoever therefore shall low ..
A different Greek word is used here, "tapeinoo" which is really the same as
the Greek word "tapeinosis". The word "tapeinos" is also similar, if not the
same as well, hence all these words are really translations from the
Hebrew "shaphael", meaning to be low.
If you doubt that verbs and nouns are really the same words, click here. .
So we have to be as "low" as a child. A child knows his rank among adults.
We have to know our subordination rank in our relationship to Jesus. Shalom
( 32 ) Mt 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased "shaphal"; and he that shall humble "shaphal" himself shall be exalted .

( 33 ) Lu 3:5 Every valley shall be filled , and every mountain and hill shall be brought low "shaphal"; and the crooked shall be made straight , and the rough ways shall be made smooth ;
.. hill shall be brought low ..
Correctly translated by King James, every mountain and hill shall be brought
low... A mountain in the Bible is a symbol of a kingdom power, and humans
can be full of pride, and thus become symbols of rocky cliffs. Imagine a
whole kingdom of proud people and who have a cultural mountain, or strong
authority opposing GOD. In the Daniel imagine of the rock striking the image,
is a symbol of the mountain of GOD, and the rock of ages, Jesus who comes
to destroy the mountains of the earth. Shalom
