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.
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
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).
