Footnotes

51b

Greek #5228 ὑπέρ. huper. Over, above, beyond, across from. A spatial preposition. The figurative uses might be "for the benefit," "for the sake of," but figurative use is conjecture, speculation, and based on what one perceives the context to be. It is opposite to the word ὑπό hupo, "under."

The translations "for the sake of" or "extending benefit to" are interpretations of the genitive. But the genitive can also mean "above" as in "ὑπὲρ τῆς γῆς" (hyper tēs gēs): "above the earth" or "beyond the earth"

In other places it is found taking an accusative which would give it the meaning of "over/beyond."

To understand the enigma you must know the truth about the flow and direction of time. These are two aspects of time that act like a river flowing in a circuit. Then you must realize where you yourself are within the flow, and what direction you are facing.

There is a picture-riddle of Jacob crossing over first, facing his household, and Joseph, the coming one, last, at the hind of the whole. Genesis 33.
