Dukhrana new testament
I think you meant to ask about the "Dukhrana" in the New Testament!
Dukhrana is a fascinating topic, and I'd be happy to help you explore it.
In the New Testament, Dukhrana (also spelled Dukhran or Dukhrana) is a term used to describe the "portion" or "share" of the Holy Spirit that is given to believers. The word is derived from the Greek word "dukrana" (δούκрана), which means "portion" or "share".
In the New Testament, Dukhrana is mentioned in several passages, including:
- Acts 2:17-18 - "And it shall be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and smoke, the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes."
In this passage, Peter quotes Joel 2:28-32, where God promises to pour out his Spirit on all flesh, and the result is that people will prophesy, have visions, and dream dreams. The phrase "I will pour out my Spirit" is often translated as "I will give them a Dukhrana of my Spirit".
- Acts 8:14-17 - "Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for he had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given after the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money, saying, 'Give me also this power, that whoever I lay hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.'"
In this passage, Peter and John come to Samaria to pray for the believers there to receive the Holy Spirit. The phrase "they received the Holy Spirit" is often translated as "they received a Dukhrana of the Holy Spirit".
- 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 - "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues."
In this passage, Paul writes about the different gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit that are given to believers. The phrase "to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit" is often translated as "to each is given a Dukhrana of the Spirit".
In summary, Dukhrana in the New Testament refers to the portion or share of the Holy Spirit that is given to believers, which enables them to prophesy, have visions, dream dreams, and exercise various gifts and manifestations of the Spirit.
