And again, a physical manifestation (spirit) of our Elohim being heard by those present, this after the heavens opened and shone a light that seemed to float down from heaven (like a dove) over YHShua, the right hand of Elohim; begotten from man through the virgin Myriam, the begotten son of Elohim, HalleluYH!!!!
(KJV) Matthew 3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

A highly blessed woman of YHWH who humbly submitted to Elohim YHWH. Ruth is seen below telling her mother (in law) that she will not abandon her or her Elohim, living up to the perfect example of the 5th commandment to honor our mother and father. Ruth would go on to be another link in the lineage to YHShua our Messiah; an example of a pagan woman who turned to YHWH’s ways and was fully blessed in her decisions. HalleluYH.
Ruth 1:16ge
King James Version (KJV)
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God [Elohim] my God [Elohim]…

As we have learned through the Hebrew perspective in other posts, Elohim is the Creator, His Word YHWH (a Name that defines Elohim’s works, His Word and Acts) that Job is trying to tells us something below. Let’s take a moment and look-up the word Baal (as a historical example) in a dictionary… then let’s look up what that word, definition that defines it, in scripture (Hint – in modern Greek translations it has replaced the Tetragrammaton YHWH – the name given to Moses on Sinai); now let’s compare the two and open our eyes to what Job was very much aware of… that of the ways of the world and not the Word YHWH. ie: the 2nd commandment that says we shall not take YHWH’s name in vain (worthlessly)… Now think, is Job (below) telling us he puts his faith in the things of the world (flesh) or something else.
Job 1:21
King James Version (KJV)
And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD (YHWH the Word) gave, and the LORD (YHWH the Word) hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD (YHWH the Word).”
Here the Hebrew perspective in scripture is telling us that Job has humbled himself to accept what he knows to be truth; we come naked to the world and depart naked from the world, a reality that all which is flesh comes and goes: A compelling message to all who are in the world and not in the Word, how in contrast YHWH (the manifested wisdom of Elohim, the Word of Elohim) is eternal and not final… how the flesh leads to deathand yet the Word to eternal life, as reserved for those who are set-aside (living the manifestation of the Word and not the world – the holy spirit), that Job wants us to see that of eternity or death, that if in union with YHWH we are not in union with the world, for eternal life and death are not compatible.
YHShua is the perfect example of this eternal truth that in standing for obedience (holiness)he is raised from the dead to the Father Elohim; a ministry that tells us not to be in our flesh (the world) if not in his example that we may one day do greater things than he: An eternal proposition.
HalleluYH Abba YH, thank you Father for showing us your Grace that your offering be with us as we seek to be with You, in YHShua, Your Word’s salvation to us, Amein. :)
And again?
Job 1:21
King James Version (KJV)
And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD (YHWH) gave, and the LORD (YHWH) hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD (YHWH – the Word of Elohim).

A Word which defines who our Elohim keeps as His, the Obedient Child? As we have learned this is exactly what (YH)Shua our Messiah proved to be, am obedient son!!! Furthermore, calling us to follow his example of that obedience to the Father. Let’s see:
(NIV) John 5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” AND,
(NIV)Mark 10:19 You know the commandments:’You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud”
(YHShua’s defense of the Father’s commandments, and again in obedience to the who?)
Compared to?…. :O)
(KJV) Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD (YHWH -the Word of) thy God (your Elohim (Creator), he is God (Elohim – the Creator), the faithful God (Elohim), which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations…”
May your will be ours Elohim… that our manifestation (spirit) be yours Elohim YHWH, in YHShua, Amein.

(YH)Shua our Messiah (he who we are called to follow) speaks of the commandments and of obedience to the Father. Let’s see:
(NIV) John 5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.” AND,
(NIV)Mark 10:19 You know the commandments:’You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, ….”
Contrasted to Elohim’s Word in Tanakh.(For those who say the Ten commandments are void!!! Please understand, YHShua or the Father do not lie, what they say is the Word)
(KJV) Deuteronomy 7:9
Know therefore that the LORD (YHWH -the Word of) thy God (your Elohim (Creator), he is God (Elohim, the Creator), the faithful God (Elohim), which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations…”
May your will be our choice Elohim YHWH, in YHShua, Amein.

Peter’s reply to YHWH, that during an afternoon trance on his roof-top he sees (3 times) a descending white sheet and unclean animals, and YHWH’s voice tells him to kill and eat them, yet the second time Peter says he can not eat of them, for he has never eaten anything unclean, that YHWH – Elohim’s Word responds:
(KJV) Acts 10:15
And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God (Elohim) hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
That as circumcised Jewish men, the apostles were being told to accept those who were not circumcised if and when they had repented; in this context it meant when they began to manifest the set-apart fruits of YHWH (the Greek-translated, “holy spirit” if you would): It is from this point forward that Paul’s argument to accept the uncircumcised, based on repentedness (a turning away from disobedience to Elohim’s Word), is accepted by the apostles.
At the end of the roof-top experience YHVH tells Peter there are (3) unclean men that are at his door, he is instructed to go follow them to their master’s house (Cornelius), and baptize him…. an act of obedience by Peter and Paul that opens the Good News of Messiah to the whole world, the Jews (the circumcised) by Peter and others and the Gentiles (the uncircumcised) by Paul and others. Paul said it in these words:
(NIV) Galatians 2:7
On the contrary, they recognized that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised.
This is what our Heavenly Father’s Word in the Tanakh says on circumcision:
(NIV) Jeremiah 4:4
Circumcise yourselves to the Lord (YHWH – the Word of Elohim), circumcise your hearts, you people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, or my wrath will flare up and burn like fire because of the evil you have done— burn with no one to quench it.”
And our Messiah (the Word / right hand of the Father says:
(NIV) Matthew 11:28
“Come to me (come to the Word of Elohim), all you who are weary and burdened, and I (the Word) will give you rest.
And a final thought:
(KJV) Mark 1:15
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God (Elohim) is at hand: repent ye (turn from disobedience to the Word), and believe the gospel (believe in the Word of Elohim, His manifested Word YHShua, the right hand of Elohim – who was is and will be; His final reaching out to the disobedient man).
HalleluYH, thank you for Your wisdom, your Word, your Salvation given YHWH, that we may know You and receive You!!! in (YH)(Shua) (the Word of YH) (is Salvation with us), Amein.

Of all posts to date, are we beginning to see a trend? Here Jehoshaphat identifies what that is.
(KJV) 2 Chronicles 20:20
“And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD (the Word YHWH) your God (Elohim), so shall ye be established; believe his prophets (Hosts of the Word), so shall ye prosper.”
Notice how following man’s word is not mentioned here, only the Word YHWH (the Prophets of the Bible), man’s salvation from self destruction, the instruction manual given by the Creator of all. Yet we believe we have the answers? That is not what history tells us, jsut take a look around friends.
May YHWH’s will uplift our countinance, may YH-shua, YH’s final message to us, be heard – that as he said, we may do greater things in following his example. HalleluYH (Praise YH), thank you for your Word Father, thank you for the offer of salvation, that which You know we can achieve in You.

A word for those of us who have allowed ourselves to be lead to believe that baptismal is an easy in to eternal salvation in Messiah. A scriptural reality check… that we may define ourselves for who and what we are truthful to.
(KJV) Isaiah 30:20
And though the Lord (the Word of Elohim – YHWH) give you the bread of adversity (the Word which meets resistance / adversity from evil), and the water of affliction (persecution from evil that follows baptismal, after repenting, defined as walking in YHWH’s truth not ours), yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers (that we will know the true teachers not the false ones, those who face adversity and persecution from evil, those who stand for Truth in YHWH, the Word of Elohim)…
That Isaiah’s Hebrew perspective (in parenthesis above) yields a clearer perspective on what it means to be a follower of the Word YHWH and different to what many are taught today, were the original message is not that of a voyage of automatic blessing in repentedness and baptismal (the I am worthy to be blessed argument in Greek and pagan mindsets), if not a voyage that blesses the child that is willing to stand for YHWH’s Truth in the midst of persecution; not as Adam’s lineage – if not as YHshua’s lineage, he who suffers for his obedience to the Father, he who told us that to follow him was to bare his cross (persecution) !!! Quite the contrast to a baptismal that automatically cleanses one from sin. Food for thought.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28
“Jesus (YHshua) spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” John 8:12
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.” Luke 9:23-24
May YHWH be blessed by us, in YHshua, Amein.

(NIV) Luke 14:15-24
“The Parable of the Great Banquet”
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus (YH)(shua), “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God (Elohim).”
So who is (YH)shua (Jesus) in Elohim, and what is the bread of life?
We know that the Hebrew word Elohim (Capitalized) is the original word now replaced with G-d (Capitalized) and when not capitalized “elohim or g-d” refering to other “non-creator” deities mentioned in scripture. In the below text we learn that the Elohim of Creation is plural, as in “US” or “WE”.
(NIV) Genesis 1:26
26 Then God (Elohim) said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God (Elohim) created mankind in his own image, in the image of God (Elohim) he created them; male and female he created them.”
Above Elohim is referred to as more than one (both male and female), a union of many that act as one “US” or “WE”, that of the Hebrew word Echad (“ONE or ONENESS”), where “THEY” are of ONE Accord; varying parts that come together to form ONE Body or ONE WORD (The right hand of which is our Messiah YHshua)… The name Jah (YH in Hebrew), as seen in various scripture, is short for the Tetragrammaton (YH)VH or (YH)WH (as given to Moses / man on mount Sinai). The Tetragrammaton YHWH is the WORD of Elohim, that which manifests the Ruach Hakodesh – the Holy Spirit (or Action of Elohim). YHWH denotes the union (complete agreement) of the varying parts “US” “WE” – indeed Elohim: His Word (YHWH) is the ONESS of the Body of Elohim (Echad): The term Elohim is also seen used in the singular form, such as “Elohim is the creator”, yet we also know that Elohim is made of varying parts.
(YH)shua in Hebrew means (The Word of Elohim is salvation) and defines what our Messiah is in Elohim, he who is called the Word is also called the right hand of Elohim:
(NIV) 1Peter 3:22
22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s (Elohim) right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
… the Word which is in union with Elohim, he who John 1 tells us was with Elohim, is Elohim and was from the beginning, HalleluYH… That we begin to see how any part of Elohim is Elohim, for they all, individually and as a Body are as one as we (YHshua’s body on earth) should be. YHshua said:
(NIV) John 17: 20-23
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.
… that YHshua would be the final manifestation of that Word that we may learn what the bread of life is in His perfect example of obedience to Elohim, the union. The Word is what we should be eating from and what YHshua meant when he broke the bread and told his disciples to eat of it. Now, lets take a final look at the scripture we opened with:
(NIV) Luke 14:15-24
“The Parable of the Great Banquet”
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus (YH)shua, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God (Elohim).”
In closing, how can we be one in him if we don’t completely understand what he is, a result of man’s religion. The concept of the Father and son relationship is all important for us who seek, no where in scripture is trinity or middle trinity or non-trinity explained (man’s doing), that when someone tells you, “oh, but scripture tells us three g-ds exist in one that we may be baptized in the name of the father the son and the holy ghost (a trinity)”, you can then share the original teaching from the Hebrew perspective… how the name of the Father (YH)WH and the name of the son (YH)shua, and the name of the holy ghost (the set-apart manifestation of Elohim), are all one in the name of YHshua – our Messiah, the active right hand of the Body of the Creator of the universe: Immanuel (Elohim who is with us).
May YH’s Will be done that we may all eat in the feast of the Kingdom of Elohim, in YHshua Amein.
(NIV) 1 John 2:3-6
3 We know that we have come to know him (the WORD of Elohim YHWH) if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 5 But if anyone obeys his word, love for God (Elohim) is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus (YH)shua – the WORD did.
Amein.

(NIV) Genesis 22:14
“So Abraham called that place The Lord (YHWH, the Word of Elohim) Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord (YHWH the Word of Elohim) it will be provided.”
That Abraham’s unconditional obedience to the Word would give provision for his lineage to number as the grains of sand on earth, the power of the Word, that of living on the mountain of YHWH; this is faith in action to Elohim’s Word. In the above scripture we see the recipient of this “faith in action” praising Elohim after being stopped by His angel… If we recall, Abraham had been told to go to the top of the mountain and sacrifice his son Isaac – that he obeyed against his human nature, that which is a lower state of being (the same lesson our Messiah teaches us, that of obedience to Elohim against our flesh).
This is what YHshua said on the matter:
(NIV) Matthew 17:20
He replied, “Because you have so little faith (belief in the Word). Truly I tell you, if you have faith (belief in the Word) as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
That if the mountain (the Word of Elohim) lives within us (requires growth in it) it can move insurmountable obstacles for us; faith in action that leads us to the full knowledge of the Word, the mountain of Elohim. It is this or continue to believe that being worthy means being left to our own devices.
But the people fell away from the mountain:
(NIV) Jeremiah 3:8
I gave faithless Israel her certificate of divorce and sent her away because of all her adulteries. Yet I saw that her unfaithful sister Judah had no fear; she also went out and committed adultery.”
That obedience to the Word and not the latter proves to deliver us from ourselves, is the message from Elohim… let’s climb the mountain today, let’s turn to His Word that we may bless our Elohim, and in that live in His blessing eternally, in the final example of obedience Messiah YHshua Amein.
