MATT
27:46 and LUKE 23:46 – CORRECT TRANSLATION:
“Eli, Eli, lmana shabachthani ! My God, my God, for
this I was spared.”
The traditional translations which say Jesus said “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me” is very seriously and disgustingly wrong. It is even blasphemy and has led to extremely serious and fatal errors in Christian teachings. It is therefore vitally important to state, know and believe the truth because eternity depends on believing the truth.
The
correct translation makes it clear that Jesus DID NOT SAY GOD FORSOOK HIM AND
THAT GOD DID NOT FORSAKE HIS BELOVED INNOCENT SON - just as He will NEVER
forsake any of His innocent children who are being persecuted and murdered by
sinful man. The wrong translation blasphemes Jesus to say He said such a
terribly false thing of His Father who was with Him and in Him and it
blasphemes and insults God to say He did such a terrible thing to His beloved
suffering Son. Meanwhile it was MANKIND who betrayed, denied, deserted,
martyred and murdered Jesus! God ALLOWED it, as He allowed many of His prophets
and disciples to be murdered, but GOD DID NOT DO IT. Just think the evil of it:
We martyr and murder Jesus and then falsely blame God and absolve ourselves! As
God allowed His Word to be wounded, broken and distorted by Satan-inspired men
as in this verse, so God allowed Jesus to be wounded by Satan-inspired men, but
GOD DID NOT DO IT. Evil men did it. This Satan-inspired wrong translation
shifts the blame for the murder of Jesus from sinful rebellious man to blaming
God for Jesus’ suffering and murder. Just sit and think about this and how
painful it must be to God and how terribly devious – we sinners martyr and
murder Jesus and we blame His Father!! How utterly evil! Repent and confess if
you ever said that.
The
whole purpose of Satan with this wrong translation, and with all the other
wrong translations and interpretations, was to make man believe the very first
lie to Adam and Eve namely “you will surely not die if you sin” so that people
may be deceived into continuing with sin whilst believing they are going to
heaven and whilst they do not live holy lives. This wrong translation is used
to say you will not die when you sin because Jesus took and bore your sins,
God’s wrath was poured out on Him, Jesus took your punishment, He died in your
place, He paid your debts, therefore God forsook Him – and therefore you will
not be punished or be forsaken or die for your sins – if you accept and believe
His offering. This sounds wonderful and makes MOST people quite happy and
relieved because they now believe they will not die if they sin, they do not
need to feel condemned because of their sins and they need not be holy to enter
heaven. This lie is widely preached and this makes people continue piercing
Jesus with their sins. This is exactly what Satan wants.
That is
exactly what Jesus said will happen to MANY people. They will call Him Lord,
Lord and prophesy and do miracles in His Name, but He will deny that He knew
them because they disobeyed God and they kept on sinning. Matt 7:21-23. They
were all deceived to believe Satan’s lie that they will surely not die whilst
they kept on sinning. John says the same: 1 John 3:6 -8 Everyone who sins
has not seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you.
He who does righteousness is righteous, even as that One is righteous. He
who practices sin is of the Devil.
We need
to STOP sinning and that is exactly what God promised Adam and Eve and to all
of us. He will send SOMEONE, JESUS, JOSHUA, THE DELIVERER, who will crush the
head of Satan and FORGIVE, DELIVER AND CLEANSE His people from their sins –
THAT SINS MAY STOP AND THAT WE NEED NOT DIE. FOR THIS PURPOSE God and Jesus
allowed sinful men to wound, martyr and murder Him - that we may see what sins
truly are and how murderously hurtful it is to our God, so that we may deeply
confess and repent and that He may forgive and deliver us from sin, destroy the
works of Satan, set us free indeed from sin, that sins may stop, that we may
live for righteousness, be healed from the fatal leprosy of sins, stop going
astray and return to our God and Father. (Is 53, Zech 12:10-13:9, Joh 8:34-36;
1Pet 2:24-25, 3:18; 1Joh 3:8)
By the
testimony of 2 to 3 witnesses a case is settled. Here below are many more
witnesses which settles the correct translation beyond any doubt.
Reader,
we were all deceived and ignorant of the truth. But as Peter said to the Jews
when they realized they have betrayed, denied and murdered their MESSIAH:
Act 3:17 And now, brothers, I know that you did it
through ignorance, as also your rulers did. But those things which God
before had shown by the mouth of all His prophets, that Christ should suffer,
He fulfilled in this manner. Therefore repent and convert so that your
sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the
presence of the Lord. And He shall send Jesus Christ, who before was
proclaimed to you, whom Heaven truly needs to receive until the times of
restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of His holy
prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said to the fathers,
"The Lord your God shall raise up a Prophet to you from your brothers, One
like me. You shall hear Him in all things, whatever He may say to you.
And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly
destroyed from among the people."
Act 3:26 Having raised up His son Jesus, God sent
Him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you away from his
iniquities.
We now
need to deeply confess, repent, turn from our sins, ask JESUS, the DELIVERER,
for forgiveness for what our sins did to Him and for thorough cleansing and
deliverance. Then Jesus will return to our hearts and we will be refreshed and
blessed.

Lamsa, George. The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts. ISBN 0-06-064923-2.
According to Lamsa’s translation from the Aramaic of
the Peshitta, the Peshitta text reads: “Eli,
Eli, lmana shabachthani!! My God, my God, for this I was spared.” Mark
15:34 and Matt. 27:46.

And
my studies reveal that he didn't say, "my el, my el, why have you forsaken
me?" If you'll compare Shem Tob Hebrew Gospel of Matthew with Ps. 22:1, it
has the same exact thing in the Hebrew. The meaning is: Permit me to die or
permit me to be loosened, i.e., he was asking to die now.

A literal rendering of lmana
sabachthani simply reads, “For this is what you left me.” The truth it
conveys is “For this purpose you spared me,” “For this reason you kept me,”
“For this purpose you caused me to remain.”
Most English translators and
theologians, in keeping with their theology, chose to use lama “why”
rather than lmana, and used the later-developed meaning of shbq,
“to forsake” to translate Jesus' utterance, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani”
as, "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
The doctrine of Jesus' spiritual
death by taking on man's sinful nature has been shown erroneous. Many verses
clearly indicate that God was with His Son throughout his ordeal on the cross
as Jesus expected. Together, these truths leave no possibility or reason for
thinking God forsook Jesus Christ.13 The translation must convey, "My God, my God,
for this purpose you spared me."14
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had
cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my
spirit [i.e. life1]: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost [expired].
These words, "Father, into
thy hands I commend my spirit," were spoken after God supposedly had
forsaken him. If God truly had forsaken him, to whom was Jesus speaking?
Clearly, Jesus Christ believed
God was with him throughout the time of his crucifixion, and the scriptures
attest to the same. Why then do the translators of Matthew record Jesus as
saying, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
Many times those who opposed
Jesus Christ had tried to kill him. Many times they failed because God had not delivered
him over. Now on God’s terms, they were permitted to carry out their evil
intent. They meant it for evil, but God allowed it for good. Jesus Christ
willingly went to Calvary to fulfill God’s plan.
When Jesus was arrested, he
could have had twelve legions of angels keep him from harm’s way. But he knew
what he was about to endure was the great purpose of his life.
Matthew 26:53,54 Thinkest thou that I cannot now
pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of
angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
4.
Jesus
used almost the same words with the same meaning in John 12:27 supporting
this translation.
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour:
but for this cause came I unto this hour.
Ø
He was all along spared by God
for that hour. He could have asked God any moment to save Him from death. God
did not leave Him as punishment or in anger.
5.
JESUS AND GOD ARE ONE AND HE COULD
NOT FORSAKE HIMSELF.
Joh 1:1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us.
Joh 8:58 Jesus
said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I
AM!
Joh 10:30 I and
the Father are one!
Joh 14:9 Jesus
said to him, Have I been with you such a long time and yet you have not known
Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. And how do you say,
Show us the Father?
Joh
14:10 Do you not believe that I am in
the Father and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not
speak of Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works.
Ø God cannot forsake or punish Himself. On the cross we also see God crushed and killed by man.
6.
JESUS HIMSELF REPEATEDLY SAID GOD
IS ALWAYS WITH HIM AND WILL NOT FORSAKE HIM, BUT MEN WILL FORSAKE HIM.
Joh 8:16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true;
for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me.
Joh 8:29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father
has not left Me alone, for I always do those things which please Him.
Joh 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father
and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak of
Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works.
Joh 16:32 Behold, the hour comes, yea, has now come,
that you will be scattered, each man to his own things, and you will leave Me
alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.
Ø Jesus always
pleased God and knew God will always be with Him. He would not have spoken against
His own words by later saying the Father forsook Him. He also would never
accuse His Father of forsaking Him.
7.
THE SCRIPTURES NEVER SAY GOD WAS ANGRY AT
JESUS AND THAT HE LEFT JESUS ALONE IN WRATH OR PUNISHMENT BUT THE CONTRARY IS
TRUE.
Isa 42:1 Behold My Servant, whom I
uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit on Him; He
shall bring out judgment to the nations.
Joh 10:17 Therefore My Father loves Me,
because I lay down My life so that I might take it again. Joh 10:18
No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down from Myself. I have authority to lay
it down, and I have authority to take it again. I have received this
commandment from My Father.
Joh 17:5 And now Father, glorify Me
with Yourself with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made
a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory
and honor, that He by the grace of God should taste death for / through
all.
Heb 5:7
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and
supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him
from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8.
THE SCRIPTURES REPEATEDLY SAY GOD WILL NEVER
FORSAKE THE RIGHTEOUS OR HIS CHILDREN. JESUS WAS FOREMOST OF ALL.
Gen 28:15 And, behold, I am with you,
and will keep you in every place where you go, and will bring you again into
this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken
of to you.
Deu 4:7. Deu 31:6 Be strong and of a
good courage. Do not fear nor be afraid of them. For Jehovah your God is He who
goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Deu 31:8
1Sa 12:22 For Jehovah will not forsake
His people for His great name's sake, because it has pleased Jehovah to make
you His people.
Psa 22:1
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, (It’s not a song about being
abandoned. It’s a song about vindication, domination and glory. http://skipmoen.com/2007/07/29/times-two/http://skipmoen.com/2009/07/02/victory-song/
Psa 22:21 Save Me from the lion's
mouth; from the wild oxen's horns. You have answered Me. Psa 22:24 -25 For He has not
despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His
face from him, but when he cried to Him, He heard.
**David answered his own question. God answered him, has not despised
him, has not hated him in his affliction and has not hidden His face from Him
but heard him when he cried i.e. God has not forsaken Jesus.
Psa
23:4 Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your
rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
Psa
27:9 Hide not thy face far from me; put
not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither
forsake me, O God of my salvation. Psa 27:10
When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Psa
31:22 For I said in my haste, I am cut
off from before Your eyes; surely You heard the voice of my cries, when I cried
to You.
Psa 34:7 The angel of the LORD
encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psa 34:18 Jehovah is near to the
broken-hearted; and saves those who are of a contrite spirit. Psa
34:22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that
trust in him shall be desolate.
Psa 37:25 I have been young, and am
old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed begging
bread. Psa 37:28 For Jehovah loves judgment and does not forsake
His saints; they are kept forever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut
off.
Psa_46:1, Psa_46:5; Psa_46:7, Psa_46:11;
Psa 145:18 Jehovah is near all those
who call on Him, all those who call on Him in truth. Psa 145:20
Jehovah watches over all those who love Him; Isa_8:8-10; Isa_41:10, Isa_41:17
Isa 63:9 In all their affliction He was
afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His
pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of
old.
Jer 23:23 Mat_1:23, Joh_14:18-23;
Joh 14:23 Jesus answered and said to
him, If a man loves Me, he will keep My Word. And My Father will love him, and
We will come to him and make Our abode with him.
Php_4:5 The Lord is at hand.
Heb 5:7
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and
supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him
from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Ø
These words are also Jesus’ words. He meant it. He
would not suddenly lose faith and accuse God of forsaking Him when God
repeatedly said He would never do that.
Ø
God will not go against His own words to forsake His
own Son when He said He never will, especially when Jesus was being innocently
murdered whilst doing God’s will.
Ø
Every God-fearing person knows this and all of them
who went through deep distress always found comfort knowing God is always with
them. God confirmed it to them - as with Stephen. Much more so with Jesus.

GOD
RECEIVED JESUS’ SPIRIT WHEN HE DIED.
Luke 23:46 And when Jesus had cried with a
loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit [i.e.
life1]: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost [expired].
Ø Jesus said this after He allegedly said God
forsook Him, but God received His Spirit. So, God did not forsake Jesus and He
did not die alone.
a.
ISAIAH
53.
i.
Is 53
as a whole and the whole Bible indicate that MAN despised, rejected and
murdered Jesus.
ii.
Is
53:4 indicates that we by mistake thought God did it. Zech 12:10 says the Holy
Spirit will open our eyes to look up to Him whom we have pierced and to mourn
bitterly for Him when we realize we have pierced our Creator. GOD DID NOT HURT,
PUNISH OR FORSAKE JESUS. MAN DID. The individual verses should always be read
and considered in this context.
iii.
Isa
53:5 But He was wounded BECAUSE OF our transgressions; He was bruised
BECAUSE OF our iniquities; the correction for our peace was based upon / by /
through Him; The wrong
translations say He was wounded FOR our transgressions and the punishment for
our peace was on Him which misled people to think God did it FOR us and He
punished Jesus, i.e. God then also forsook
Jesus. This is wrong.
iv.
Isa
53:6 and Jehovah has laid on Him the iniquity / sins of us all.
Aramaic:
and LORD JEHOVAH caused to meet in himself
the sin of all of us
ABP: and the LORD delivered him up because of
our sins.
Afr: maar die HERE het die ongeregtigheid /
sonde van ons almal op Hom laat neerkom.
God and Jesus ALLOWED our sins to wound and
pierce Jesus. God did not DO it.
v.
Isa
53:8 because of the transgression of My people He was stricken.
ABP: Because of the lawless deeds of my
people he was led unto death.
People caused His wounds.
vi.
Is
53:10 Yet it pleased Jehovah to be crushed; to be
made weak / grieved;
Ø
The wrong translations say it pleased
God to crush Jesus - again making people think God punished and forsook Jesus.
Other translations say:
The Lord WILLED to cleanse Him of the beating.
The Lord chose that He would prostrate himself and He afflicted Himself.
And God, willing his dejection, …
b. Psa 69:9 and the reproaches of those
who reproached You have fallen on Me. Our sins against God also hurt and wounded His Son. He
ALLOWED it.
c.
Psa 69:20 Reproach has
broken my heart, Man’s
reproaches wounded and broke Him.
d. Rom 4:25 who
was delivered because of our offenses
e.
2Co
5:21 For he hath made him to be sin BECAUSE OF us, who knew no sin; that
we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Ø By seeing Jesus being despised, rejected,
martyred and murdered, and carrying our sins, we see sin, we see what sin is
and how evil and cruel our own sins are to Jesus. Jesus allowed it that we may confess,
repent, stop with sin and be made righteous. 1Pet 2:24, 3:18-19, 4:1-2 and Zech 12:10 are in perfect agreement
with this.
Ø The wrong translation and interpretation here
says Jesus was made sin FOR us, giving us the same wrong idea that Jesus became
a sinner in our place and was punished in our place, that God may see us as
righteous – even if we still sin. Again supporting Satan’s lie that we will
therefore not die if we sin.
Ø
The
wrong translation of Matt. 27:46 supported this wrong translation of 2Cor.
5:21.
f.
Gal
3:13 Christ redeemed / rescued us from the curse of the Law, being made a
curse because of / by / through us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone
having been hanged on a tree");
The Law DOES
NOT condemn innocent men who are innocently and falsely accused and crucified. None
of the prophets, disciples, apostles or martyrs who were innocently crucified
were cursed. On the contrary, the Bible calls them blessed. Much more so was
Jesus NOT cursed by the Law when innocently crucified.
EVIL MANKIND
CURSED AND CRUCIFIED JESUS INNOCENTLY. BECAUSE OF OR BY OUR SIN, WE INNOCENTLY
CURSED HIM. THE LAW UTTERLY CONDEMNS US FOR THIS. Rom 8:3 confirms it. God
sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and because of sin,
condemned sin in the flesh;
Jesus allowed
it – to expose sin, that we may see what our sins truly are and do to Him. If
we see, accept and confess this, our hearts are deeply pierced as Zechariah
prophesied in Zech 12:10 and as has happened in Acts 2-4 and to Paul on the
Damascus Road. We sorrowfully confess and repent thoroughly and God forgives,
delivers and cleanses us and so we are RESCUED / REDEEMED from the curse the
Law pronounced on us for what all our sins did to Jesus.
The wrong
translation and interpretation which say Jesus was made a curse FOR us, and
that He was cursed by the Law FOR us, or in our place, taking our curse and
punishment in our place and so redeemed us that we will not be punished, is the
same Satanic lie alluded to above. It makes the deceived believe they will
therefore not die even if they sin – because Jesus became a curse FOR them or
in their place.
CONCLUSION: The correct
translation is:
“Eli,
Eli, lmana shabachthani ! My God, my God, for this I was spared.”
IMPLICATIONS
OF THE WRONG AND THE CORRECT TRANSLATION:
The wrong translation caused man
to believe God is responsible for Jesus’ suffering and death, that Jesus was an
atonement or a substitute for their sins and He took their punishment. So they
missed their personal guilt and absolved themselves. This made them believe
they will therefore surely not die if they sin but they are “saved” and going
to heaven despite sinning. This was Satan’s whole aim with the wrong
translation. This deceived billions and caused them to excuse and tolerate
their sins. These are the ones Jesus will deny that He knew them because they
did not do the will of God and they continued sinning.
The correct translation indicates
Jesus came and was spared and kept to be crucified by sinful man. On the cross
He allowed sinful man to do to His body what they have been doing to God’s
heart, to God’s Word, to God’s Spirit, to God’s Lamb since the foundation of
the world and to their neighbour. We have brutally pained and martyred Him. So He
exposed our sin and evil and we are utterly condemned without any excuse.
As prophesied in Zech 12:10-13:9 and fulfilled
in Acts 2-4, the Holy Spirit pleads us to look up to Jesus whom we are piercing
because of sin and to mourn bitterly for Him. If we do it and we confess,
repent and make right, God promised forgiveness and He opens the fountain of
Jesus’ blood against sins, unrighteousness, idols, false prophets, unclean
spirits, carnal loves, lies, hypocrisy, impurities, etc. and He forgives,
cleanses and delivers us from all sins, He fills us with His Holy Spirit and He
makes us righteous and holy.
Is 53:11 and 1 Peter 2:24-25 confirm
this:
Isa
53:11 He shall see the fruit of the travail of His soul. He shall be
fully satisfied. By this knowledge of
Him shall My righteous Servant justify many; because He shall bear their
iniquities. If we
have this knowledge that Jesus will bear our sins, He will change us and make
us righteous. 1Pet 2:24 says the same.
1Pe
2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that dying to
sins, we might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.
1Pe 2:25
For you were as sheep going astray, but now you are turned to the Shepherd and
Overseer of your souls.
If I accept and confess He bore
my sins in His body and my sins wounded and killed Him and repent, I will and
can stop with sin, I can live righteously, I will be healed from sin by His
wounds, and I will stop going astray and I will return to my Shepherd and
Overseer.
HOWEVER, If we keep on sinning, and
keep on making Jesus bear our evil and blaming God for Jesus’ murder, our
damnation will be justified.
