Metaphysical meaning of Shelemiah (mbd)
Shelemiah, shel-e-ml'-ah (Heb.)--Jehovah makes secure; completion of Jehovah; Jah finishes; Jehovah renders; Jehovah hath repaid; Jah is recompense; whom Jehovah repays.
There were several Israelites by this name (I Chron. 26:14; Ezra 10:39; Neh. 3:30; 13:13; Jer. 37:3, 13). The Shelemiah of I Chronicles 26:14 is called Meshelemiah in the 1st verse.
Meta. Thoughts belonging to the real and true in man (Israelites); that recognize the law of sowing and reaping, giving and receiving, as being a spiritual law (Jehovah hath repaid, Jah is recompense); that work in harmony with divine law and therefore bring about a sense of security and wholeness in the consciousness of the individual in whom these thoughts are active (Jehovah makes secure, completion of Jehovah). (See MESHELEMIAH.)
