1 John 4:1

Testing the Spirits”

“4 Beloved, do not believe every ‘spirit’ [ruwach: expression, mind, etc..], but test the ‘spirits’ [ruwach: expression(-s), mind, etc..] to see whether they are of ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Angels, etc..]; for many false ‘prophets’ [nabi: inspired(-person), etc..] have gone out into the ‘world’ [chedel: state of the dead, the rest, etc..].”

‘Amein’ (Amen: Truly, Truth, etc..)

Significance of the Name of the ‘God’ (‘Elohiym) of Israel; replaced by the term Lord, in the Bible, ~7000 times:YH old to oldest YHWH or YHVH (I AM THAT I AM):

“According to the Hebrew Bible, in the encounter of the burning bush (Exodus 3:14) Moses asks what he is to say to the Israelites when they ask what ‘gods’ (‘Elohiym) have sent him to them, and YHWH replies, “I am who I am”, adding, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

“I AM THAT I AM”, “I AM WHO I AM”, ETC..

The Name that quite literally refers to what the “I AM THAT I AM” – is: The expression or mind of the ‘Elohiym of our creation; in Messiah’s words, the heavenly Governemnt that leads humanity in “the Way, the Truth, the Life”.

The ‘spirit’ (ruwach: expression or mind, etc..) of the ‘Elohiym of Creation, YHWH.

“Used as an emphatic statement,” that of the steward’s wisdom in action, and again, ‘spirit’ (ha-ruwach: ‘Elohiym’s expression or mind, etc..), as seen in YH’s heavenly messengers, ambassadors, appointed men, women, and prophets – leading to ‘YH’shua’ (YH Saves); ultimately as seen in us the faithful.

May, “YHWH bless you and keep you!” Numbers 6: 24-26.

“I WILL BE THAT I WILL BE”, Will you?
