But ye. Like St. Paul in 2. Thessalonians 2 1. St. Peter turns with an outburst of triumph to the happier and more practical and attractive theme.

As originally the clan of Abraham was selected from among all the families of the earth Amos 3 2, so out of the clan of Abraham after the flesh were these men selected to be a new clan, or race. Securitiy Task Manager Full there. They are not merely individuals selected one by one and left in isolation, but a tribe consolidated, only the bond henceforth is not merely one of common physical descent. A royal priesthood, an holy nation. These words are a direct quotation from Exodus 1. LXX. version. The Hebrew has a kingdom of priests, as in Revelation 1 6 according to the best reading which would mean, Gods organised empire, every member of which is a priest. Nor is the thought far different here. The word royal does not seem intended to imply that every Christian is a king, or of royal birth though that, of course, may be shown from elsewhere, but describes his belonging to the King as we might speak of the royal apartments, the royal borough, the royal establishment, or even of the royal servants. The substitution, therefore, of royal priesthood for kingdom of priests brings out more clearly the personal relation to the Personal King. But if the writer had said royal priests, the notion of organisation would have slipped out of sight altogether. By way of compensation, therefore, it is restored in the substitution of priesthood see Note on 1. Peter 2 5 instead of priests. This, and the next phrase, an holy i. Israelite nation as they stood beneath Mount Sinai. This must be taken into consideration in dealing with the doctrine of the Christian ministry.

The sacerdotal office was as common to all Israelites under the Law as it is to all the new Israel under the Gospel. A peculiar people. This curious phrase is literally, a people for a special reservation. It is, no doubt, intended to represent Exodus 1. Greek and the Hebrew, the variation being due to a recollection of the Greek of two other passages of the Old Testament Isaiah 4. Malachi 3 1. 7. The word rendered peculiar means properly making over and above, and would be represented in Latin by the word peculium, which means a mans private pocket money, as, for instance, the money a slave could make by working over hours, or such as a wife might have apart from her husband.

When children speak of a thing being their very own it exactly expresses what we have here. From this sense of making over and above, by working out of hours, the word comes in other places to mean earning by hard work, in such a way as to establish peculiar rights of property over the thing earned. So in Acts 2. 0 2. G8-g-8nv0/TWBswiOwgdI/AAAAAAAACXQ/tqJBOGlia_k/s1600/A+Very+Peculiar+Practice+2.JPG' alt='A Very Peculiar Practice Series 2' title='A Very Peculiar Practice Series 2' />St. Paul is probably thinking of the passage of Isaiah above referred to, both the hard earning and the special possession are intended the Church of God, which He won so hard for His very own, by His own blood. Here, perhaps, the thought of earning is less obvious, and it means a people to be His very own. Comp. Thessalonians 5 9, and Ephesians 1 7, where according to Dr. Lightfoot it means for a redemption which consists of taking possession of us for His own. That ye should shew forth the praises. This is an adaptation, though not exactly according to the LXX., of Isaiah 4. St. Peters mind by the word rendered peculiar. The word praises is put here in accordance with the English version there. The Greek means virtues, or powers, or excellencies, a rare word in the New Testament see 2. A Very Peculiar Practice Series 2' title='A Very Peculiar Practice Series 2' />Peter 1 3. And the word for shew forth, which is nowhere else found in the New Testament, means by rights to proclaim to those without what has taken place within. This strict signification is very suitable here. St. Peter says that God has taken us for a people peculiarly near to Him, and the purpose is, not that we may stand within His courts and praise Him, but that we may carry to others the tidings of what we have been admitted to see. This was the true function of the old Israel, Do My prophets no harm Psalm 1. They were not elect for their own sake, but to act as Gods exponents to the world. This function they abdicated by their selfish exclusiveness, and it has descended to the new Israel. St. Peter and St. Paul are at one. Of him who hath called you out of darkness. This is to be understood of the Father, not of Christ. For one thing, the act of calling is almost always ascribed in the New Testament to God Himself and for another thing, it is probable that St. Peter regards our Lord as Head of this people of God, just as He is corner stone of the Temple, and High Priest of the hierarchy. The act of calling literally it is, who called, not who hath called was that of sending the preachers of the gospel to them, i. St. Paul and his followers comp. Peter 1 1. 2 1. Peter 1 2. Here again, then, we have St. Peter speaking in praise of St. Pauls mission, and, indeed, speaking in the same tones of unbounded admiration His marvellous light. But could Hebrew Christians be said to have gone through so great a change in becoming believers Had they been in darkness We may answer that St. Peters use of the word marvellous is no affectation of sympathy. He himself found the change to be what he here describes, therefore there is no difficulty in supposing that other Hebrews should have found it so too. Besides which, the state of the Jews immediately before Christ and without Him is often described as darkness. See Matthew 4 1. Luke 1 7. This very passage is quoted a few years later by St. Clement of Rome chap. Dr. Lightfoot has clearly established that St. Clement was a Jew. Verse 9. But ye are a chosen generation. The pronoun ye is emphatic. St. Peter is drawing a contrast between the disobedient and unbelieving Jews and Christian people whether Jews or Gentiles he ascribes to Christians, in a series of phrases quoted from the Old Testament, the various privileges which had belonged to the children of Israel. The words, a chosen generation, are from Isaiah 4. The Cornerstone is elect, precious the living stones built thereupon are elect likewise. The whole Christian Church is addressed as an elect race, one race, because all its members are begotten again of the one Father. A royal priesthood. Instead of holy, as in ver. St. Peter has here the epithet royal. He follows the Septuagint Version of Exodus 1. Hebrew has a kingdom of priests. The word royal may mean that Gods elect shall sit with Christ in his throne, and reign with him Revelation 3 2. Revelation 5 1. 0, and that in some sense they reign with him now over their lower nature, their desires and appetites or, more probably, the priesthood of Christians is called royal because it belongs to the King a priesthood serving Jehovah the King, just as we speak of the royal household Weiss, quoted by Huther.

He was the chosen warrior against evil by siddha gurus of a cult named Suryavanshi. They are followers of the star Sun. As part of training, he trained with Kundalini Yoga to awake the 7 chakras of body and gain supernatural powers from them. To gain complete control over his powers he performed the ritual of death. However, this did not cause death but made him more alive than when he was a normal man. He also performed Yajna in which he entered the fire himself and dissolved his body in fire. Then, the five elements of life, i. Thus after leaving his mortal body he was given a superhuman form to fight against the evil in the world as Shaktimaan. After Shaktimaan was created he set out to destroy his archenemy Kilvish. But, as the Mahaguru Tom Alter explained, Kilvish can only be defeated after evil is destroyed. Shaktimaans mission is to destroy the sin within people, not the sinned people. Shaktimaans adventures show him pursuing justice and saving his friends while Kilvish and his minions plot to defeat him. Shaktimaan has superhuman powers which lie inside his body in his seven chakras of Kundalini attained through meditation. Shaktimaan worships God through the symbol Om. Truthfulness is his motto. He can even separate his body into five different bodies of fire, wind, water, earth and sky. He is an expert, skilled and intelligent fighter and has fought with super skilled enemies. He possesses physical powers like unlimited speed up to the speed of light, strength, durability as well as psychic powers like telepathy, teleportation, telekinesis etc.
