Text: Matthew 5:29-30 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it
is profitable for thee that one of thy
members should perish [apollumi, aorist middle,
lost], and not that thy whole
body should be cast into hell [gehenna]. 30 And
if thy right hand offend thee, cut
it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish [apollumi, aorist middle,

Surgery took 11 hours and
appeared to be successful, but Sylvester Walker's prospects for a full recovery
are unknown, according to one of the orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Tom Kiefhaber.
Mr. Walker, 21, of
When
Dr. Kiefhaber said that was
the correct procedure in the crucial seconds after an amputation. The viability
of severed limbs varies, but generally, a finger can be successfully reattached
up to 24 hours after the injury. A hand, with larger muscles that more quickly
worsen without blood flow, must be reattached within eight to 10 hours.
The key, Dr. Kiefhaber
said, is the first few minutes:
Stay calm. Have someone
call your local emergency number.
Bandage the wound and apply
pressure to stop the bleeding.
Wrap the severed limb in a
clean, moist sponge or washcloth, then put it in a plastic bag. Put that bag in
another filled with ice water — not just ice. Limbs need to be “cooled” but
mustn't freeze.
Hand-reattachment surgery
entailed the reconnection of two major arteries, four veins, four nerves, six
tendons that work the wrist, and 14 tendons that allow the fingers to bend. The
first goal is to stabilize the bones and repair the tendons, then nerves, Dr.
Kiefhaber said.
Then blood vessels are
reconnected using a microscope that magnifies the vessels to 20 times their
size.
Most reattached hands
regain about 80 percent mobility, albeit with some loss of feeling. “
The hand begin to perish
when it was severed from the arm.
THE DEAD ARE BURIED
Acts 5:10 Then
fell she (Sapphira) down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her
forth, buried her by her
husband.
SEEK
THE PERISHING
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost
[apollumi, perfect active participle, perishing].
PERISHING
SHEEP
Matthew 10:5-7 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded
them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of
the Samaritans enter ye not:
6 But go rather to the lost [apollumi, perfect active
participle, perishing] sheep
of the house of
SHEEP
AND GOATS ARE SAVED
Numbers 18:17 But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep,
or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: . . .
MY SHEEP
John 10:27-28 My sheep hear
[present active indicative] my voice, and I know [present active indicative] them, and they follow [present active indicative]
me: 28
And I give [present active
indicative, minister] unto them eternal
[age] life; and they shall
never perish [aorist middle
subjunctive] [for the age], neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand.
THE
PERISHING ARE NOT DEAD
Matthew 18:11-14 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost [apollumi, perfect active
participle, having begun to perish].
12 How think ye? if a man have an
hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray [aorist passive
subjunctive], doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh [present active indicative] that which is gone astray [present passive
participle]? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say
unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine
which went not astray. 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish [aorist middle subjunctive].
LITTLE
CHILDREN ENTER THE KINGDOM
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be
converted, and become as little children [paidion], ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
THESE
BELIEVE IN THE PRESENT TENSE
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe [present active participle] in me, it were better
for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were
drowned in the depth of the sea.
NONE
BUT ONE PERISHED
John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept
them in thy name: those that thou gavest
[perfect active indicative] me I have kept, and none of them is lost [apollumi, aorist middle
indicative, perished], but
the son of perdition [apwleia, noun form of apollumi]; that the
scripture might be fulfilled.
OLD
TESTAMENT TYPE
Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved [delivered] the people out of the
FORTY
YEARS TO PERISHED
Hebrews 3:17-19 "But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest,
but to them that believed not? 19 So we see that they
could not enter in because of unbelief."
NOT
MIXED WITH FAITH
Hebrews 4:1-2 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being
left us of entering into his rest,
any of you should seem to come short of
it. 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did
not profit them, not being mixed with
faith in them that heard it.
IF FAITH
IS VAIN WE WILL PERISH
1 Corinthians
15:17-18 And if Christ be not raised, your faith
is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18
Then they also which are fallen asleep
in Christ are perished .
HE
THAT BELIEVETH MAY NOT PERISH
John 3:13-16 And no man hath ascended up to heaven,
but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must the Son
of man be lifted up (heaven): 15
That whosoever believeth [present
active participle] in him should not perish
[aorist middle subjunctive, perish for themselves], but have [ecw, present active
subjunctive, may regard] everlasting [agelasting] life. 16 For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth [present active participle]
in him should not [mh, may not] perish
[aorist middle subjunctive, perish for themselves], but have [ecw, present active
subjunctive, may regard] everlasting [agelasting] life."
PAUL’S
PREACHING
1 Corinthians
1:17-18 For Christ sent me not to
baptize, but to preach the gospel:
not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none
effect. 18 For the preaching [logov] of the cross (our daily cross, Luke 9:23)
is to them (that have life) that perish
[present middle participle, perishing] foolishness; but unto us which
are saved [present passive
participle, are being delivered] it is the power of God.
PAUL’S
GOSPEL
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our
gospel be hid, it is hid [being
veiled] to them that are lost [apollumi, present
middle participle, perishing for themselves]:
OUR
GOSPEL
2 Thessalonians
2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining [purchase] of the glory of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
PAUL’S
GOSPEL KEPT SECRET
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you
according to my gospel, and the
preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery,
which was kept secret since the
world began,
PERISH
TODAY OR PERISH TOMORROW
Luke 9:23-25 And he said to them all, If any man
will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow
me. 24
For whosoever will save his life
shall lose [apollumi, perish, future
active indicative] it (NOW): but whosoever will lose [apollumi, aorist active subjunctive] his life
(NOW) for my sake, the same shall save it (THEN). 25 For
what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose [apollumi, perish, aorist active participle] himself, or be cast away [aorist passive participle] (same as to perish)?
NOT
WILLING ANY OF US SHOULD PERISH
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his [the] promise (agelasting life), as
some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any (of us) should perish [apollumi, aorist middle infinitive], but that all
should come to repentance.
