Command and Teach These Things (1 Tim. 4:11)
11 Command and teach thesethings. 12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. 14 Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you.
Command is not a word we use much these days.
But many are aware of C:\. It's called the Command
Prompt, and it goes to back to the MS-DOS days. It's where the user commands
the computer to do something, and it immediately does exactly what is being
commanded. Way back in the ancient days of Card Punch programming, when I was
studying at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, I did a Computer and
Information Science course, where I learned the rudiments of Algol, Fortran,
and APL. And I will never forget the very first thing the prof said: "Always
remember that computers are amazingly stupid. They do exactly what you tell
them to do." Forty-eight years later, it's still true. Even as AI is
making a huge mark on our world, we're seeing the influence of the code-writers
on its output.
A command is something that is to be done immediately.
We understand it from a military perspective - the Commander gives the
commands, and his or her underlings obey. In the US, the President is the
Commander in Chief. From the military perspective, no one has more authority or
power.
