1. AMBASSADOR (An extract from 'The Names of the Believers in the Bible in Types and Symbols'

by Dr Surya Kumar Daimari  
1/05/2021 / Bible Studies

      According to Longman’s Dictionary, the word “Ambassador “ is a designation of an important official representing his or her country in a foreign land, viz., the Indian Ambassador to South Africa. The Hebrew Word “Malak” is translated as “messenger “(IIChr 35:21; Is 30:4; 33:7). The other Hebrew Word is “Sir” which is translated as “ambassador” in King James Version (Josh 9:4; Pr 13:17; Is 18:2; Jer 49:14). In the O.T., the term was used for a messenger sent to other country with a special mission representing a king or Government (Is 18:2). The Messiah, the Christ is called “the messenger of the Lord of hosts” (Mal 2:7) and also as “Messenger or Angel of the Covenant” (Mal 3:1).

 

 

      In the N.T, Paul has used the verb “presbeuo” and “presbei” (noun) in Greek to claim for himself this lofty designation representing the heavenly King or the King of Kings, the Christ.

“For which I am an ambassador in bonds….” Eph 6:20

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, ….”  IICor 5:20.

 

      In a special sense, very exclusively, all the believers in Christ are also the Ambassadors of Christ sent to the whole world on a special mission, i.e. to proclaim the message of reconciliation and salvation to all man- kind. Mt. 28:19, 20; Mk 16:15, 16.

To be continued.
