-lawyers/doctors/scribes: A lawyer was one learned in the laws of Moses, which he expounded in the schools and synagogues:.Matthew 22:35; Luke 10:25-37. Some were corrupt in order to maintain advantage through control:.Luke 11:52.

The functions of the "lawyer" and "scribe" were identical. A doctor was a teacher:.Luke 2:46; 5:17; Acts 5:34.(re: Gamaliel).

-legion: The word is used.(Matthew 26:53; Mark 5:9).to express a great multitude. The word used anciently to signify a regiment of the Roman army, the number of men composing which differed at different times. It originally consisted of three thousand men, but in the time of Christ consisted of six thousand, exclusive of horsemen, who were in number a tenth of the footmen. 

Levite:.(comprised with.Easton's Bible Dictionary): a descendant of the tribe of Levi:.Exodus 6:25; Numbers 35:1,2. This name is, however, generally used as the title of that portion of that tribe of Levi, which was set apart for the subordinate offices of the sanctuary service as assistants to the priests who also were Levites; called the Levitical priesthood.

When the Israelites left Egypt, the ancient manner of worship was still observed by them, the eldest son of each house inheriting the priest's office. At Mount Sinai.(Exodus 34:29-32).the first change in this ancient practice was made. 

A hereditary priesthood in the family of Aaron was then instituted:.Exodus 28:1. 

The Levitical order consisted of all the descendants of Levi's three sons, Gershon, Kohath and Merari and Aaron's decendants made up the priestly order. Their age was to be between 30-50:.Numbers 4:1,3. There were 17,160 of them:.Numbers 4:36-48. 

They were not included among the armies of Israel.(Numbers 2:33).at the time which comprised 603,550:.Numbers 1:45-47. 

As being wholly.consecrated to the service of the Lord, they had no territorial possessions. God was their inheritance:.Numbers 18:20; Deuterony 10:9; 18:1,2.

The Levites were the only ones of all the tribes of Israel that had anything to do with the sacred things of God, such as was the ark of the covenant. Only they could touch it:.Numbers 4:15 "And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it, but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die.(example of Uzzah). These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation." Numbers 18:3 "And they shall keep thy charge and the charge of all the tabernacle, only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor you also, die."

For their support it was ordained that they should receive from the other tribes produce of the land.

Forty-eight cities also were assigned to them, thirteen of which were for the priests to dwell in, along with their other inhabitants. And along with their dwellings they had suburbs, common places for their herds and flocks and also fields and vineyards:.Numbers 35:1-5. 

Nine of these cities were in Judah, three in Naphtali.(map).and the rest spread amongst the other tribes.

Six of the Levitical cities were set apart as cities of refuge. Thus the Levites were scattered among the tribes to keep alive among them the knowledge and service of God. To them was the responsibility for the Old Testament's various offerings and required sacrifices, now or course, in this era of the New Testament no longer necessary.

-Lord: What is the Lord? Lord means in the original Old Testament, 'the existing one', 'to come to pass', 'to come about', 'to fall out'. So, who gave Him His authority as Lord?.Acts 2:36. 

It refers to the good God, who is the Invisible Intelligent Energy:.2Samuel 22:32; Revelation 4:9,10. 

In the New Testament, the original Greek word is 'kurios', meaning 'supremacy':.Matthew 11:27 "All things are delivered unto me of my Father..." Matthew 28:18 "And Emmanuel came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.".John 10:30; 16:15.

Romans 11:36 "For of him and through him and to him are all things..."

1Corinthians 8:6 "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things and we in him and one Lord Emmanuel Christ, by whom are all things and we by him."

Colossians 1:15,16 "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created by him and for him."

And, that which a person decides to have supremacy in his mind is his Lord:.1Corinthians 2:16.

The 'Lord' is the action of the Infinite Intelligent Energy, the good Creator, the Lord of everything. But in religion it's been heard to be 'make Jesus Lord'. No human can 'make Emmanuel Lord'. Religion is really saying to make Him uppermost in concerns of your life.

Your are an individual expression of God. Your spirit is always subject to your mind, the mind being the lord of you. What you think is what you are and are becoming. Thinking good is thinking in the high consciousness of God.

The same principle is that, of the spirits of the prophets being subject to them.(1Corinthians 14:32), that is, God doesn't override anyone's mind, but deals with them for their good where they may now be in life, even if they are stuck there.(John 8:24), as what happened to Nebuchadnezzar.

One's attention is often preoccupied with worry and other negative thoughts of self that sap energy, which can make them ill. Such are the things of the ego, the things of selfishness, greed, dislike, complaining, anger and gossip and the things of the past they may still harbor.guilt and resentment over and the things of the future they create worries over.

The 'LORD' and 'Lord' refers to God and also you:.Matthew 22:41-46; Psalms 110:1. In the Old Testament LORD is spelled in capital letters to distinguish the name of God from the Lords who were landholders having slaves, such as David who had many willing slaves:.Mark 12:36. In the New Testament the word Lord is spelled with a capital letter beginning it.

The word Lord is also used for the created beings called angels which do the work of God as is it were God himself:.Numbers 22:21-27.

Also the 'Lord' is that which you have allowed to master you. The 'lord' then is these things of the ego. Some people's 'lord and master' is their anger. They are far from the higher consciousness things of the spirit, where once these things are entrained in you, they are your Lord and you are the light of the world as Emmanuel was:.Matthew 5:14 with John 8:12; 9:5.

Better to have high consciousness things as the base from which to act than the much lower consciousness ego level of selfishness.

It's the things of the 'LORD' which are the things of higher consciousness that take a person into happiness, the good things of life including health.

The 'Lord' to each spiritual person is the spiritually activated connection of one's spirit with the Soul. The 'LORD' gives 'power of attorney' to angels to act on behalf of the Infinite One; example. 

In Old Testament times the name used in the language they used then to mean the 'LORD' was very sacred.

The ego is constantly attempting selfish concerns to override what is available from the Soul, stifling.as it were, any good influence the Soul is trying to seep through.(*), as if the person's ego had such a firm grip upon the hose that little, if anything of major effect could trickle through. The way out requires a change:.Matthew 21:32.

If we could learn to use our minds properly for what we want we would come into what the Holy Bible.(called 'Holy' because it leads to wholeness in mankind, which is being of the Creator and Creator-God is love and love comprises.high consciousness; man in perfect balance with all else that there is).calls, 'the joy of the Lord'. Once we receive the manifestation of our heart's desire, which the Infinite One indeed wants for us then we have entered into the what the Bible calls the joy of the Lord..(*)

This is what the one Infinite Universal Intelligent Energy we commonly refer to as God is all about. This energy brings things to pass according to specific patterns within it, that brings things to pass from the invisible into the visible:.Romans 1:20;.Isaiah 45:18 "For thus says the Lord that created the heavens, God himself that formed the earth and made it. He has established it, he created it not in vain. He formed it to be inhabited. I am the Lord and there is none else.".There really is nothing else but the Creator, once you understand what He is. All we think and all we know and all we don't yet know, all is of this energy which is intelligent, which is everywhere.(*).and is based in the Creator of whom we have been physically made from the designed spiritual pattern, that being invisible to us as humans.

Using this invisible energy, once we know how to and to our benefit, we are able to see what it is we have decided upon comes to pass in our lives. We can select things to enthrone in our subconscious.(*).

The subconscious is the Lord of our lives, the master of action, the governor, the father for actions that are governing a person from the 'programming' one has that's in his subconscious and until becoming enlightened, it is of the ego realm. For it is what it is where we automatically act from and it is the subconscious, our individual souls from which our mental images or patterns are aligned with the Infinite Universal Energy.

The Lord then means supreme master of all, to what a person or thing belongs and we 'belong' to what it is that causes us to act out life in the way we do, as this is our master and that is our subconscious.

One of the purposes of Christ when He was on Earth was that He came to show us how to.enthrone in our minds His nature of oneness with the universe.(Mark 12:29), the nature of love, the higher consciousness we can surely live better with.(John 10:10), the nature of love the Great Invisible Father of all has:.John 10:30 "I and my Father are one." Malachi 2:10 "Have we not all one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother..." Ephesians 3:14,15 "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Emmanuel the Christ ff whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,"

We should use the things of higher consciousness from His example in our daily actions and interactions with others.(Matthew 22:36-40). If one's Lord is things of one's ego dark side, such as hate, anger, jealously, greed, deceit, sabotage of self and others in some way, etc., then since these are a person's dominant way of thinking, of living, of interacting, then he or she who is like this, just brings more of these things with greater intensity into his or her life. That is why one on the dark path of life gets worse.

So, the 'Lord' is what a person allows himself or herself to be ruled by; the nature of the Father, the Universal Intelligent Energy Emmanuel came to reveal.(2Corinthians 3:17).or the mass mind of humanity, which is the ego's 'contribution' of good and bad for all mankind:.2Peter 2:19 ".....for of whom a man is overcome of the same is he brought in bondage."

Those who have chosen to act from the way of love.(1Corinthians 11:32).are called Christians.(what's a Christian?), whatever their particular religion at this time may be. They are individuals who have the love of this Infinite Being in their hearts and express the love of the Infinite One in their living:.Romans 5:5 "...the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."

We all are unique patterns within this universal sea of energy.

The word 'Lord' also refers to Christ.(Philippians 2:11), the resurrected physical person of Emmanuel:.Matthew 28:18 "And Emmanuel came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.".It was this great Intelligent Invisible Thinking Energy from where Emmanuel got all power. This is the Christ and we are equal to Him. This power is shed abroad in us:.Ephesians 2:10. Why?.Philippians 2:12 "...work out your own salvation..."

The Lord of the Old Testament is the Christ of the New Testament. And that is comforting, when you think the concerns of life are pressing upon you as never before, especially so when you realize what has been done for your good.

And what does."Lord of hosts".mean?
