Definition: The word "ampalea" is a Hebrew term meaning "wonderful", referring to something that exceeds human expectations or surpasses divine significance. It has several meanings in the Bible, but it's most commonly associated with the prophet Daniel. In the book of Daniel, chapter 4, verse 26, he says: "Then I looked and behold a great man of valor named Shadrach; he was an angel from God. And I heard him saying to me, 'I know what you are, and what you do.' So I said, 'You are the man, O Daniel, who has been sent to me!' In verse 29, the same prophecy is repeated: "So then, Daniel, believe in the Lord your God, for he will open the heavens and grant you relief; he will cause you to possess all that you have set out to obtain." This verse translates into English as "For fear of the Lord, who has opened the heavens, the Lord will give you relief, and he will make all things become yours." In this passage, Daniel refers to himself and others as "wonderful" because they are greater than human expectations or surpass divine significance. He uses the word "wonderful" in reference to God's judgments on his actions for the sake of pleasing the Lord. The concept of "ampalea" is also used metaphorically by Jesus Christ in His Sermon on the Mount, where He says: "If you love me, keep my commandments." In summary, "ampalea" describes something that exceeds human expectations or surpasses divine significance. It has several meanings in the Bible, with some being associated specifically with Daniel and others with Jesus Christ.
