  1. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden inner chambers the secret places

  2. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place Proverbs 20:27, “The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts (cheder) of the belly.” (Why would the spirit search our inward parts, if not to reveal hidden sin in us, to us?) Proverbs 18:8, “The words of a tale bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts (cheder) of the belly.” (If there is no “secret place” or “hidden chambers,” where is this “inner most part”? This idea is also presented in Proverbs 26:22) Proverbs 20:30, “The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts (cheder) of the belly.” (Again, what does God mean that strres cleanses away evil in the inward parts of the belly, if we don’t really have an innermost part or hidden chambers where evil can hide?)

  3. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place • Ezekiel 8:12, “Then said He unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers (cheder) of his imagery? For they say, the Lord seeth us not...” • (What could the “chambers of his imagery” mean, if not some secret, hidden internal place?) • Deuteronomy 32:25 “The sword without, and tenor within (cheder)...” • (The reference for this verse in the Companion Bible says that “tenor comes from the inner chambers.”)’ • Proverbs 7:27 “...going down to the chambers (cheder) of death.”

  4. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place • Proverbs 24:4, “And by [intimate] knowledge (dcsath) shall the chambers (cheder) be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” • (Intimate knowledge of God happens internally. How can these chambers be filled with” all precious and pleasant riches,” if there really isn’t an inner most part) • Psalm 51:6, “...in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.” • (God wants this hidden part cleansed of the secret faults and then filled with all precious and pleasant riches, i.e., God’s wisdom.)

  5. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place • 2 Chronicles 18:24 instructs about going”...into an inner chamber (cheder) to hide thyself.” • (Of the 38 Scriptures that use the word cheder, over half refer to a secret, hidden, innermost chamber or parlour.) • Other Scriptural references to the “hidden chambers”: • Psalm 19:12-13, “Who can understand his errors? Cleanse Thou me from secret faults.” • Who are these faults secret from? God? I think not. Ourselves? Yes, this is what David is imploring God to do; to show him and cleanse him from secret faults.)

  6. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place • 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, “for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God...” • (What are the strongholds? Where do they exist, if not in our innermost part? Are these strongholds simply conscious attitudes and physical behaviors? Or, could they be the secret hidden faults that David asks God to cleanse him from in Psalm 19:12?) • Deuteronomy 7:20, “Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.” • (Where is it that the “hornets” hide themselves from us? Why does God send them, if not to expose what’s hidden there, so we’ll see it ourselves and deal with it?)

  7. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place • Psalm 51:6, God wants “...truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me know wisdom.” • (What does this refer to, if there is no innermost part or secret place?) • Hebrews 12:15 and Acts 8:21-23, Paul refers to a ”root of bitterness.” • (What does he mean by “root” if not something hidden or covered up?) • Jeremiah 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” • (This means that no one but God, can understand the wickedness of our hearts. In other words, there are things in our hearts that are hidden and secret, even to us)

  8. Hidden Chambers scriptures  Hb: “cheder” innermost part, the hidden—inner—chambers or the secret place • Daniel 2:30, Psalm44:21 and 1 Corinthians 14:25 follow this same line of thinking. • God is the only One who “knows the secrets of our hearts” because He is the only One who can see, search and try our hearts. • (Luke 9:47; Proverbs 21: 1-2; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Chronicles 29:17; Jeremiah 11:20; 17:10; 20:12 and many more). • Other Scriptures that hint at covered up, closed up and hidden things that we are not even aware of, are • Psalms 139:23-24; Acts 8:21-23; Psalm 16:7; Ezekiel 14:1-6; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Corinthians 4:2 and more. • Endnotes: 1.
