Is the word dynamos found in the Bible?
Not as translated in the King James Version... but in the originally "inspired Greek" in the New Testament, the English word we know of as "dynamo" which is root of the word "dynamite" is found in Matthew 6:13 where Jesus reveals the "outline for prayer" that the world calls the "Lord's Prayer;" we read:"...for thine is the Kingdom, and the POWER, and the Glory for ever. Amen." (Matt.6:13)The inspired Greek word for POWER is "DUNAMIS" (doo'-nam-is}: "...force(literally or figuratively); specially, miraculous power(usually by implication, a miracle itself): {as dunamis is translated in various places in the King James Version} KJV--ability, abundance, meaning, might(-ily, -y, -y deed), (worker of) miracle(s), power, strength, violence, mighty (wonderful) work." (Literal Bible w/Strong's Definitions)The word "dunamis" always inspired in relation to the POWER of God Himself; as:"For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, 'Even for this same purpose have I raised thee [Moses] up, that I might shew MY POWER [dunamis] in thee, and that MY NAMEmight be declared throughout ALL THE EARTH." (Rom.9:17)"And what is the Exceeding Greatness of HIS POWER[dunamis] to usward who believe, according to the working of HIS MIGHTY POWER [dunamis], which He [the Father] wrought IN CHRIST, when He RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD..." (Eph.1:19)Usually, where the KJV mentions God's servants [including Christ Himself] being given God's "POWER"... it's a different word that the Literal Bible describes more as "by God's AUTHORITY":"But that ye may know that the Son of Man hathPOWER [exousia: ex-oo-see'-ah -- privilege, force, capacity, competency, freedom... token of control... delegated influence..." -- Strong's Definitions] on earth to forgive sins, (then saith He to the sick of the palsy,) 'Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house." (Matt.9:6)Of course, like Christ and God's other servants, it's by the "dunamis" POWER of God's Spirit by which God "delegates" His authority and Power to accomplish His will. Speaking to Zacharias, John the Baptist's father, the angel said:"...many of the children of Israel shall he [John] turn to the LORD their God. And he shall go before Him [Christ the LORD] in the Spirit and POWER [dunamis] of Elias [Elijah], to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the Wisdom of the Just; to make ready a people prepared for the LORD." (Luke 1:16-17)"And Jesus returned in the POWER [dunamis] of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of Him through all the region round about." (Luke 4:14)These are some of the places "dynamos" [or technically "dunamis"] is found in the Bible: but it is a directly inspired word from the original manuscripts... not generally found in any English translation.
