Sar – Prince, chief captain, minister <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The amazing name denotes the most exalted rank of leadership, nearly equal to that of a king or a ruler. It can come from two roots: SRI (to fight, to wrestle) and SRR (to govern, to rule).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah is the feminine form of that warrior Prince, with the same power vested in the warrior Prince.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name ISRael came from the very same two roots. It was changed from Jacob to Israel because Jacob was wrestling (warrior) with God and he prevailed and won (govern, rule). See Gen. 32:29<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exalted name Sir, also comes from \u201csar\u201d. As did all of these leadership names: Caesar, Kaiser, Tzar, Minister, Mister, senor, monsignor, monsieur, and even words like senior and seniority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most famous bearer of the name is our Sar Shalom – Prince of Peace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Isa. 9:6)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nesher – Eagle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rootword Nashar – to fall out, to be bald. The last two letters of the word \u201cnesher\u201d comes from \u201csar\u201d – warrior Prince<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Eagle is viewed symbollically as a kingly bird, to the extent that it is compared to God protecting His people: As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over its young, spreads out its wings, takes them, bears them on its pinions. (Deut 32:11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eagle carries the character of a mighty warrior, and at the same time it is the protecting fatherly manifestation of God. This biblical, powerful metaphor has inspired the adaptation of the bald eagle as the U.S. National emblem since 1782.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of the eagle extending its wings to shelter its young, went beyond this image and connected to the idea of the tabernacle, under which one finds God\u2019s protection, and likewise to the \u201cTalit\u201d, the prayer shawl, making it the same metaphor: eagle-God-tabernacle-talit, and we may even add to this the laying on of hands upon someone\u2019s head while praying for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: Have you ever noticed the connection between these metaphors and the image of you own pastor, standing on the podium, extending his hands up and sideways, just like the eagle extending its wings, and casting down the Blessing upon your head?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
