Secret Message in the Name Meanings in Romans Chapter 16 (Part 2)

Click to see Part 1.

Romans 16:10-15 mentions the names of people Paul personally met. These names have important meanings in Greek. In this article, we will show the name meanings from Romans 16:10-15 along with some other nouns. Amazingly, these name meanings,* when placed together in the order in which they appear in the Bible, form a secret message: a message from God. (*Note: These are name meanings which God revealed to me based on concordances and Bible dictionaries.) 

At the very end of this article, we have placed a secret message which was formed out of Greek name meanings from Romans chapter 16, verses 10 through 15.


Now, let's look at each Greek word of significance and see what dictionaries and concordances have to say about them. After we give each word meaning from reference works, we will include a spiritual meaning, revealed by God. I encourage anyone reading this to seek God about this message and about these words, if he or she would like to.

The words we will look at are arranged in the exact order found in the Bible in Romans 16:10-15. We list them below as they appear in the Bible, starting with Aristobulus:

Aristobulus, Herodion, Narcissus, Tryphena, Tryphosa, Persis, Rufus, 
Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, HermesPhilologus, Julia, Nereus,  Olympas, and saints.



The Word Meanings of the Above List


Name: Aristoboulos (Aristobulus)
Strong's Number: 711  
Name Meaning: "From the same as ariston and boule; best counselling;..." Ariston means "the best meal" or "dinner". Boule means "advise, counsel." 
Spiritual Meaning: ("The best counsel")

“Angelic Encounter”

- Russia -


(CHETRA TM-140. Click for source.)
Like a lion slowly stalking its prey, the Russian army CHETRA TM-140 tracked truck rolled toward the group of six Christians who stood around a tracked UTV and a snowmobile. Fumes and vapor rose into the air from its exhaust pipes like smoke from a dragon’s nostrils as the mechanical beast snapped its way through fallen branches and twigs.

Having just been delivered by God from a pack of hungry, vicious wolves, the Christians were now faced with a new and equally deadly foe: communist soldiers who were determined to either kill or capture the Christians. And, the TM-140 was full of them.

ART 35: ◼ “Wolf Attack” // ◼ “Crime in the City”

“Wolf Attack”

 - Russia -


(Eurasian wolf. Click for source.)
Having been chased by communist Russian snowmobile troops through a forest miles from the Siberian town of Medvedski, Sergey and his friends had, by God’s miraculous protection, been able to avoid capture and death. Now, the night had come and the Russian soldiers were still searching for them on snowmobiles through the dark forest. Two snowmobiles carrying two soldiers each had come out of the forest and had rapidly approached the Christians, but God had blinded the soldiers’ night-vision optics so that they did not see the group of six Christian fugitives. The snowmobiles had roared off into the Siberian night without paying any attention to the fugitives, and Sergey’s UTV with its attached trailer, and his blue Yamaha Sidewinder snowmobile.

Standing near the UTV and the blue snowmobile, the group had discussed God’s awesome power to deliver them from enemy bullets and grenades. As the friends began to think of having supper, a group of dark shapes began to move toward them through the snow-laden pine trees. In the light of the Christian’s LED flashlights, a pack of tawny-colored Eurasian wolves appeared. Suddenly, twelve vicious wolves broke off from the rest of the large pack and ran straight toward the Christians.

Sarah felt fear rush through her body and the urge to scream, but something kept her from opening her mouth as she watched the wolves charge toward her friends.

(Click here to check out the official website for this book.)
A demonic gleam seemed to appear in the wolves’ predatory eyes as they charged forward with exposed teeth. Their wide paws quietly thumped against the snow as they closed the distance. Some wind stirred the pines, sending showers of sparkling snow through the surreal air. Having jaws and teeth strong enough to take down male elks, the canine predators were a fearsome sight to behold. Vapor rose into the air from their hungry mouths and their amber eyes sparkled in the LED light.

One wolf was fast approaching Steven, and closing the distance to forty feet. He felt fear attacking him, but he gave it to God.

“Surprise in the Dark”


(Winter forest. Pixabay. Free images.)
Dear God, please keep this UTV running for as long as we need it,” Steven O’Neill said as he drove a tracked grey UTV through the snow-covered ground of a dark, untamed forest many miles from the village of Medvedski in Siberia. The fuel indicator on the digital display screen revealed that he had very little fuel left. 

'Could one of the bullets fired at us have hit the fuel tank? Or, does the fuel display have a glitch or an electrical problem?' Steve wondered. He was hoping it was just a glitch because his enemies were still pursuing him with the intention of killing him and those with him.

They were many miles from their destination, which was the town of Gryaznov.* Running out of fuel now was bad because it would mean they would likely have to go on foot through miles of wilderness, which was infested with hungry wolf packs and freezing temperatures. And, the communist Russian military was not far behind.

[* This is a fictional village, but it is a real Russian surname.]

Somewhat resembling a Honda Pioneer UTV, the tracked vehicle pulled a hand-crafted utility trailer, which contained car seats bolted to the bed. Sergey Ulanov had constructed it using his skills as a blacksmith. In the seats sat four people: Sarah O’Neill, Steve’s wife; Alexei Khlebov, a red-bearded Russian; Jason Harper, a clean-shaven American; and Ivan, a mustached Russian who had recently gotten saved.

Guys,” Steve said as he turned back toward the people in the trailer, “we are running very low on fuel or we have an electrical problem. Let’s pray for God to do a miracle. He’s already protected us from the machine guns. So, surely He will continue to take care of us.”

Even while he said those words, Steve felt some fear gripping at his heart.

____  ____  ____


Sergey Ulanov, the owner of the tracked utility vehicle (UTV), had been separated from his friends when communist Russian soldiers on snowmobiles had suddenly appeared out of the forest in pursuit of the Christians. Sergey had taken his blue Yamaha Sidewinder snowmobile up a hill, while the UTV with the trailer had driven on level ground through the evergreen woodland. [Read about these events in Chapter 33.]

Bushes and trees passed by the UTV on either side as dark and gloomy shapes in the night. Only the headlights of the UTV illuminated their path directly ahead. Without those lights, they would be lost. None of the members of the group had GPS devices due to the fact that the Russians could use it to track their location.

“How much fuel do we have left?” Sarah said with concern on her face, leaning forward. Vapor came out of her mouth in the cold air, which was -20 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Winter Chase in Siberia”


(Yamaha Sidewinder. Click for source.)
A blue Yamaha Sidewinder snowmobile tore through the snow, racing past pine trees in a Siberian forest. The cold air tugged at Sergey’s brown, leather ushanka, which was fastened under his brown-bearded chin. The sky was darkening to dusk as Sergey drove his snowmobile through the forest which bordered Medvedski, Russia.* Speckles of snow were beginning to fall, which turned into little, fluttering, ice stars that sparkled in his headlights.

[* This is a fictional town in Siberia.]

(A forest during the winter. Pixabay. Free images.)
Fifty yards behind him raced a grey, treaded utility vehicle (UTV) with a 4-person transport trailer attached behind it. The UTV had a small, two-seater cab with a short flatbed behind it, and resembled a Honda Pioneer UTV. In place of tires, this all-wheel-drive vehicle had four treads, which gave it excellent traction in deep snow.

Both vehicles zipped around trees and bushes, and avoided logs and rocks, as they reached speeds up to 38 miles per hour. The loud buzzing drone of their engines kept them from hearing the engines of four snowmobiles and two, large, communist Russian army CHETRA TM-140 all-terrain trucks, which were partially loaded with Russian soldiers, who were in hot pursuit of Sergey and his friends. The Russians were some distance behind Sergey and his friends.

“Cartel Attack”


Blam! Blam! Blam! … ‘Odin,’ a drug cartel member, fired off another six shots from his 9mm Ruger pistol until his magazine was empty. All seven rounds were fired toward Steven O’Neill’s chest from just inches away. As the gangster emptied his clip, the bullet casings bounced off the concrete patio and some rolled off into the grass below. But, Steve remained standing in his front door, unaffected by the gunshots, except for the fact that he was closing his eyes and clenching his teeth. After the last shot was fired, Steve opened his eyes and felt his heart pounding in his chest. [Read Chapter 31 here.]
