Was Yeshua just having fun and playing games, or was he declaring over them, in these nicknames, what their prophetic mission was to be years later? \u201cThese are the original apostles who were given distinctive titles by [the Messiah] in order to convey some special assignments that they were expected to complete. Peter <!--more-->was to be associated with [Messiah] (the Rock himself) in the creation of the Christian <i>ekklesia <\/i>[q.v.Matt 16:18]. This was accomplished in its initiation phases with Peter on the Day of Pentecost some 50 days after the resurrection of [Messiah] (Acts 2). Peter was also given the \u2018keys\u2019 of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:19). These \u2018keys\u2019 were to allow him the power to open \u2018the doors of the kingdom\u2019 to those who would hear the gospel. It even entailed an authority to bind or to loose people regarding their entrance into that kingdom. (This power was later extended to all the apostles, John 20:23). And it appears certain that one of the main methods by which Peter would be able to exercise the power of the \u2018keys\u2019 was to be in charge of the canonization of the New Testament. The information in the canon would \u2018open the doors\u2019 to all people who would read and heed the written messages therein\u201d (<i>Restoring the Original Bible<\/i>, by Ernest Martin, p. 311).<\/p>\n<p>The other two apostles who received special titles were James and John, who Yeshua called the Sons of Thunder. Martin points out that the meaning of this title has been a mystery to most scholars, and the common understanding of it is that these two brothers were headstrong, impetuous, intolerant and authoritarian. And this may be true, but by the time the aged John writes his letters, his demeanor had changed to one of love and conciliation among the brethren. But in their youth they appear to be stern and uncompromising toward evil (Luke 9:54), and they were ambitious for position (Matt. 20:20\u201324). \u201cThey were not mild tempered. They were to be men of \u2018Thunder.\u2019 In Hebrew, <i>thunder<\/i> (<i>kol<\/i>) meant \u201cthe voice of God\u201d (Exod 9:23; Ps 29:3; Jer 10:13; etc.). The title could signify that they were to speak like God himself\u2014as personal spokesmen for God\u201d (Martin, pp. 311\u2013312).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis title gave them special rank of authority and, along with Peter, they were the only apostles to witness the Transfiguration and to hear the voice of God the Father himself (and in vision to see Moses and Elijah) (Matt 17:1\u20139). This experience rendered the jurisdiction of those three men as superior to the other apostles and it singled them out for a special purpose. Peter was to be in charge of congregational affairs (Matt 16:17\u201319), but James and John were to have the distinction of being \u2018Sons of Thunder\u2019\u2014to <i>thunder<\/i> forth his words to the people as did Moses\u201d (Ibid., p. 312).<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The Sons of Thunder \u2014 There\\&#039;s more to this nickname than you thought!',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2015\/11\/28\/the-sons-of-thunder\/',contentID: 'post-7552',suggestTags: 'James,John,Mark,Peter,Sons of Thunder,Yeshua',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark 3:16\u201317, Surnamed Peter \u2026 sons of thunder.
