CHAPTER 11

 

 

 

One… Echad or Yachad?

Did Yahusha teach that he was Yahuah in the flesh? Or did he teach he was the son of Yahuah? Was he ‘echad’ or ‘yachad’ with the Father?

Yahusha did not teach that he was “echad” with the One and Only (meaning of echad) God who is Yahuah; but rather, he is yachad or one family with the Father. They are father/son members of the same family. This is what the Messiah taught. Yet another false teaching going around today is “Echad means Yahuah IS Yahusha”! We see that Yahusha did claim to be one with Yahuah.

John 10

30 I and my Father are one.

The question is, did he mean “echad” or “yachad”?

·         Echad – the only one

·         Yachad – unified one

In the NT, when Yahusha said "I and the father are one" he defined what he meant later in that same book of John as yachad not echad. Yachad means “unified one” as in family where echad means “the only one or One and Only” as in The Shema.

The concept of "one" as it relates to Yahusha and Yahuah (and indeed all of us) is simple, it is one family or yachad in Hebrew. It was Yahusha that said in Hebrew he was "one" with Yahuah; but all we have is the Greek not the Hebrew so how do we know which one he meant?

Let us let Yahusha himself define what that means shall we? Did he teach he was echad with Yahuah? Absolutely not... a little later in that same book of John, Yahusha clearly defined what he meant by that (as Scripture ALWAYS interprets Scripture); we are ONE through Covenant in Mind, Will, Purpose, Spirit, and Family... He is our Father; we are His Children and Yahusha is our Brother NOT our God. We are all YACHAD with Yahuah not Echad. We are not all one in the same being! We are one unified family!

John 17:19-21

"And for their sakes I sanctify myself (as a Son in Covenant with Yahuah), that they also might be sanctified through the truth (that by entering into a Marriage Covenant with me, they will become Children of Yahuah by Law, John 1:12). Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word (confess that Yahusha is our Messiah, our Mediating High Priest, our elder Brother in Resurrection order, our Bridegroom through Marriage); That they all may be one (Family as Children of Yahuah); as Thou, Father, art in (an Adoption Covenant with) me (through Resurrection to become my Father), and I in (Covenant with) thee (to become Your Firstborn from the dead, SON), that they also may be one (Family) in (Covenant with) us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent me (in fulfillment of The Heavenly Scroll, where Yahusha was given Glory as coming King with Yahuah in The Beginning)."

 

Hebrews 10:7

Then I said, 'Here I am--it is written about me in the Heavenly Scroll (that I am the Groom come marry my Bride) -- I have come to do Your Will, my God (and offer my Bride up to You as Your children through Marriage)

So, by Yahusha’s own definition, “one” is through Covenant! Beware of false teachers.


 

One Family through Adoption!

Sha’ul clearly identified The Yahushaic Covenant as an Adoption Covenant with Yahuah, not a “marriage” as we are taught in error. We are Spiritually joined or married to the Messiah not to the Creator. We are then begotten as children of the Creator through marriage i.e., He is our Father (in-law).

Ephesians 1
4 just as Yahuah chose us in (Marriage Covenant with) Yahusha before the foundation of the world (The Plan of Salvation was written in the Stars as a Bridegroom running the course of a Wedding, Psalm 19), that we would be Holy and blameless before Yahuah (as Children through Mikveh, see Ezekiel 36). In love 5 Yahuah Predestined us to Adoption as Sons through (Marriage) Covenant with the Messiah Yahusha (the Bridegroom, Matthew 5:1-12 and John 3:29 and Revelation 8:23 and Mark 2:18-20 and ... etc.) to Himself (the Father of the Bridegroom), according to the kind intention of His Will (to create a Family… the Adoption Covenant was always the Plan of Salvation), 6 to the Praise of the Glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved (Family of Elohim).…

We see this declared very clearly and explicitly...

John 1:12
Yet to all who did receive Yahusha (as the Groom), to those who believed in (the Marriage Covenant that bears) his name (The Yahushaic Covenant), Yahusha (through Marriage) gave them (who are properly in Covenant) the right to become Children of Yahuah (by Law as His Spiritual Bride).

 

Hebrews 2

11 For both He Who sanctifies (Yahuah) and those who are sanctified (Yahusha and the rest of the sons) are all from one Father (Adoption Covenant); for which reason Yahusha is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, "I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." 13 And again, "I, Yahusha, WILL PUT MY TRUST IN Yahuah." And again, "BEHOLD, I AND THE (REST OF THE) CHILDREN WHOM Yahuah HAS GIVEN ME (as a Bride in Covenant of Marriage).”

 

John 3:29
29 He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom; but the friend of the Bridegroom
, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegroom’s voice (Proclaimed in The Heavenly Scroll, Psalms 19). Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled (Yahusha fulfilled the Message contained in The Heavenly Scroll John Chapter 1. He is the fulfillment of the Dabar/Predestined Plan in the flesh).

 

Matthew 25

4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The Bridegroom was a long time in coming (2,000 years at the end of the Age of Pisces before he returns to wed His Bride fulfilling the Fall Feasts), and they all became drowsy and fell asleep (lost contact with the head, the meaning of The Yahushaic Covenant). 6 At midnight the cry rang out: “Here’s the Bridegroom! Come out to meet him!” (but they were misled and did not realize by marrying Yahusha they would become Children of Yahuah)

 

Revelation 19

9 And the Angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These (written in The Heavenly Scroll Psalm, 119:89) are the True Words of Yahuah (as John was given Understanding of the meaning of the stars).”

 In Chapter 2 of this book we examined the historical record of what Yahusha believed and taught his follower the Nazarenes:

From “Ebionites & Nazarenes: Tracking the Original Followers of Jesus” by James Tabor:

They describe the Nazarenes more positively as those who accept Paul (with caution) and believe in some aspect of the divinity of Jesus (after his Resurrection), even possibly the virgin birth (as a sign) but viewed him as “adopted” as Son of God at his baptism

Adoption... Resurrection

Our “Hope” is in the Resurrection of the dead, which is the transposition of our physical bodies to our eternal Spiritual bodies. Resurrection is literally, our adoption… as literal sons/daughters of Yahuah. As I demonstrated earlier in this book, the original Nazarenes who knew Yahusha personally understood he was born human and adopted into the Family of Yahuah through Mikveh!

This is the “yearning” we feel inside our Spirits, as we have been given an earnest guarantee (the Ruach given once we are Mikveh’d) that Yahuah will Beget us Divine, just like He did Yahusha. It is at Mikveh when the guarantee is given that we will be adopted into the Family just like it was Yahusha’s.

Romans 8:23

And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the Firstfruits of the Spirit even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the Adoption, the Redemption of our body (from death through Resurrection).

Yahuah entered into an Adoption Covenant with Yahusha to be his Father not his Husband.

2 Samuel 7

14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My Son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men (which is exactly what happened to Yahusha and “how” he was perfected!)

Just as it was foretold...

Luke 1
32 He will be great, and will be called The Son of the Highest; and Yahuah will give him (future tense at the end of the Age of Pisces) The Throne of His father David (when he fulfilled LEO).

This was fulfilled after Yahuah resurrected Yahusha (not when he was born to Mary/Joseph).

Acts 13
33 Yahuah has fulfilled this for us their children, in that He has risen up Yahusha. As it is also written in the second Psalm: "You are My Son, Today I have Begotten You (upon Resurrection NOT human birth)."

All Children of Yahuah are ‘Begotten through Resurrection’, and it is then they are Divine, not before...

Luke 20

36 for they cannot even die anymore, because they are (eternal) like Angels, and are (fully begotten) Children of Yahuah, being Sons of the Resurrection (not human birth, Yahusha died so obviously, he was NOT fully Begotten until after his ‘Adoption through Resurrection’. Fully Begotten Children of Yahuah cannot die!).

 

Revelation 21

7 He that overcomes (death through Resurrection) shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be My Son (not wife).

All those who enter into the Marriage Covenant with Yahusha (The Yahushaic Covenant) will be begotten (Adopted) through Resurrection the same way Yahusha was.

Galatians 4

4 But when the time had fully come, Yahuah sent His (future Begotten) Son, born of a woman (just like Yahusha said of John the Immerser in Matthew 11:11. This does not mean Joseph was not his father, it is an idiom for human being), born under The Law, 5 to redeem those held under the (Death Decrees which are the) curse of The Law, that we might receive our Adoption as Sons. 6 And because you are Sons, Yahuah sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts on Shav'uot, crying out, “Abba, Father!”

 

Ephesians 1

4 For Yahuah chose us in Himself before the foundation of the world (just like He did Yahusha, Yahusha was Predetermined in the ‘Plan of Salvation’, he did NOT pre-exist) to be Holy and blameless in His Presence. In love 5 Yahuah Predestined us for Adoption as His Sons in Marriage Covenant with Yahusha the Messiah, according to the good pleasure of His Will to Beget a Family, 6 to the Praise of Yahuah's Glorious Grace, which Yahuah has freely given us in the Beloved Family of Elohim

 

Romans 8:15

For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a Spirit of Adoption as Sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!"

 

1 John 3:1-2

See how great a Love the Father (not husband) has bestowed on us, that we would be called Children of Yahuah (not His wife); and such we are for this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him (our Elder Brother Yahusha). Beloved, now we are Children of Yahuah, and it has not appeared as yet what we will, be we know that when Yahusha appears, we will be like him (we too, will be Divine Sons, he is our brother, NOT our god)

Yahusha was the first human to be perfected and risen Divine. He is the First of the Harvest (First of the Firstfruits of the grave), with many more sons/daughters to come!

1 Corinthians 15:23

But there is an order to this Resurrection: Yahusha was raised as the First of the Harvest (he is part of the Harvest too, just like the rest of us Children); then all (of the Bride) who belong to Yahusha (the Groom) will be raised (as Adopted Children in Law of Yahuah) when he comes back (for his Bride).

 

John 1

11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But to all (the Bride) who did receive Him (as the Groom in keeping The Holy Days), to those who believed in (the Marriage Covenant that bears) His name, He gave the right to become Children of God — 13 Children born not of blood (but of Spirit), nor will of the flesh (at human conception), nor will of man (but the Plan of Salvation), but born of Yahuah (the Ruach by the Power of the Resurrection just like Yahusha).
