==Will Jannes and Jambres return?== | |||
Paul tells us in 2 Tim 3:8-9: | |||
:''Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.<ref>The New International Version (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2011), 2 Ti 3:8–9.</ref> | |||
“Jannes” and “Jambres” were the names assigned in Jewish tradition to the court magicians who opposed Moses before Pharaoh (Exod 7:11–12); their names do not appear in the OT.<ref>Robert W. Yarbrough, The Letters to Timothy and Titus, ed. D. A. Carson, Pillar New Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI; London: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company; Apollos, 2018), 414.</ref> | |||
God through Moses stopped them dead in their tracks. Paul assures Timothy that the same fate awaits the errant leaders. First, “they will not get very far.” Paul is confident that the false leaders’ influence is limited, second, “because their folly will be clear to everyone.” “Folly” (anoia) can also be translated “stupidity” or “madness.”<ref>Robert W. Yarbrough, The Letters to Timothy and Titus, ed. D. A. Carson, Pillar New Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI; London: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company; Apollos, 2018), 415–416.</ref> | |||
It is interesting to note that Paul does not say "just as Jannes and Jambres used magic to oppose Moses". This is a simile. Paul is saying that the opposition of false teachers to the truth will be brazen. But William Branham misses the mark about the effectiveness of this opposition. Paul clearly says that their folly will be obvious to everyone. | |||
