Below we see Sha’ul clearly
summarize The Yahushaic Covenant. Yahusha is the mediator through whose blood
we have “redemption for transgressing the Law” as the death decrees are covered
through covenant. Those in The Yahushaic Covenant receive the promise of
eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:15
And for this reason He is the mediator of the renewed covenant, under
which, through the means of death to bring redemption from transgressions
committed under the covenant, the first who are called may receive the promise
of the eternal inheritance.
Now that we know what the
true name of the Messiah is; in this chapter I am going to introduce us to Yahusha,
the human signatory to the renewed covenant that bears his name; The
Yahushaic Covenant. Yahusha is the chosen representative to represent
the sons of Yahuah who are bound by this covenant of marriage to Yahuah. All
the covenants Yahuah made with His chosen are known by the ‘signatory’ or the
human who represented the sons of Yahuah in the agreement:
·
The Adamic Covenant
·
The Noahic Covenant
·
The Abrahamic Covenant
·
The Mosaic Covenant
·
The Davidic Covenant
·
The Yahushaic Covenant

Before I begin to explain who
Yahusha was as the mediator of the renewed covenant, let me first clearly
define what he is NOT! Yahusha is not a demi-god, nor is he “God in the flesh”.
Those are attributes of the False Messiah!
Christianity has created a
human false image of Yahusha named “Jesus Christ” who is
the false messiah
and taught “Jesus” as being the incarnation of God and literally “God in
the flesh”. Please refer to my book The Antichrist Revealed!
where I expose Jesus Christ as the Antichrist or false messiah. I demonstrate
in that book that John identified the names “Jesus” and “Christ” in Revelation
Chapter 13.
John used the mark, the
monogram, and the Christogram of Jesus Christ when he wrote down the Greek symbol
Revelation 13 -
The Beast out of the Sea
13
The dragon
stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of
the sea (sea serpent
)…17
so
that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark (
),
which is the name of the beast or (rather)
the symbol of its name.
18
This
calls for wisdom (to discern the Christogram).
Let the person who has (spiritual)
eyes
to see reckon up
the (pictogram of the)
symbol
of the beast that identifies him, for it is the
symbol of a man.
That symbol is
What John saw and wrote down is the symbols for Jesus
Christ written all over Christianity for the past 2000 years. For a detailed
look into the false messiah Hesus Horus Krishna a.k.a. Jesus H. Christ, please

gospel, and false messiah and a must read.

The doctrine of “incarnation”
is defined in the Bible as the Spirit of the false messiah (False Messiah).
Anyone who elevates the image
of a man known by his monogram
i.e. Hesus Horus
Krishna (Jesus H. Christ) in their hearts as God above Yahuah will be given
over by Yahuah to believe a lie. That very lie is that the Law has been
abolished by the incarnation of God in the image
of Jesus H. Christ. The Spirit of the false messiah
is anyone who denies that Yahusha was a mere man (came in the flesh):
1 John 4
4 Beloved, do not believe
every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahuah, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world (claiming
to be the incarnation of God). 2
By this you know the Spirit of Yahuah:
every spirit that confesses that Messiah Yahusha (not
Yahuah) has come in the flesh (a man)
is from Yahuah;
3 and every spirit
that does not confess Yahusha has come in the flesh (but says Jesus is God or The Trinity) is not from Yahuah;
this
is the spirit of the antichrist
(or
False Messiah. The false messiah is an image of a man worshipped above Yahuah
as God) …
12 No one
has seen Yahuah at any time! (Because Yahusha is
not Yahuah in the flesh or a demi-God).
Anyone who elevates the
false
image of Yahusha (known as Jesus) into a God in their heart believing in the
incarnation has The Spirit of the false messiah… Jesus Christ.
In this chapter I will
address the reality of who Yahusha really was, and confront the “sound bites”
of scripture (taken totally out of context by Christianity), and in many cases
mistranslated
into English. These sound bite doctrines are the foundation of this abomination
called “incarnation”.
The doctrine of incarnation
violates explicit scripture by taking scripture out of context to build a
doctrine of man through implication. Yahusha came in the flesh as a man,
fully human in every way, was tempted by evil, was not born perfect, and called
himself the son of man
87 times as he was truly the son of his earthly
father Joseph. I’ll explain this in detail along with the doctrine of the
Virgin Birth in this book as well.
Yahuah, however, declares
that He is not a man, He is not ‘the son of man’, He is invisible Spirit that
cannot be contained in the human form or tempted by evil.
Numbers 23:19
Yahuah is not a man, that he
should lie (Yahusha was fully human Hebrews 2:17);
neither the son of man (Yahusha was called the son
of man in the NT 87
times), that he should repent (Yahusha was Mikveh’d i.e. baptized by John for repentance).
Hosea 11
9 I will not carry out my fierce
anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am Yahuah,
and not a man
1 John 4:1-3; 12
4 Beloved, do not believe
every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahuah, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world (claiming
to be the incarnation of Yahuah).
2 By this you
know the Spirit of Yahuah: every spirit that confesses that Messiah Yahusha has
come in the flesh (a man) is from Yahuah;
3
and every spirit that does not confess Yahusha
has come in the flesh (but says Yahusha is Yahuah
incarnate) is not from Yahuah;
this is the spirit of
the antichrist (or False Messiah. The false
messiah is an image of a man worshipped above Yahuah as Yahuah) …12
No one has seen Yahuah at any time!
Colossians 1:15
The Son is the (human) image (or
proxy) of
the invisible Yahuah, the firstborn over all
creation.
Given the
explicit
scripture that is contradicted by the implied doctrine of incarnation…
we must in obedience to explicit declarations made by Yahuah abandon the doctrine
of “incarnation” as it is The Spirit of the False Messiah.
That is what we will do in
this chapter as we establish Yahusha as the human signatory (representative) to
the covenant that bears his name The Yahushaic Covenant. Just
like Moses was the human representative to the Mosaic Covenant, Adam to the
Adamic Covenant, Noah to the Noahic Covenant, Abraham to the Abrahamic
Covenant, David to the Davidic Covenant, and so forth.
The relationship between Yahuah
and Yahusha is not difficult to understand. It is that of Father and Son. The
same relationship we have with our Father in Heaven. Yahuah is not only the
Father of Yahusha but He is the Father of all His sons in the same way. In the
physical shadow of earthly father and son; and the spiritual parallel that
shadow represents… the father and son are not the same “being”. One begets the
other. One is an “image” of the other.
Yahuah has always revealed
Himself as our Father as Yahusha too confirmed. We see that Yahuah is Yahusha’s
God and Father as Yahusha is no different that you and I:
Luke 11
2
He said to them, “When you pray, say: “‘Father,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.”
1 Peter 1
To Yahuah’s
elect, exiles (lost sheep of The House of Israel)
scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and
Bithynia, 2
who have been chosen according to the
foreknowledge of Yahuah the Father…
3
Praise be to the God and
Father
of our King Yahusha the Messiah! In His (our
Father’s) great mercy He (our Father)
has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Yahusha the
Messiah from the dead,
4 and into
an
inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance (of Yahuah the Father to His sons) is kept in
the
Kingdom of Yahuah for you.
1 Corinthians 8
5
For even if there are
so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods”
and many “lords”), 6
yet for us there is but
one God, the Father Yahuah,
from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one King, Yahusha
the Messiah, for whom all things were created (by Yahuah
as an inheritance) and through whom we live (in covenant
being covered by
the blood of the lamb).
We see above Sha’ul explain the simple
reality of Yahuah being the Father and Yahusha being Yahuah’s first born son
through resurrection. We see Yahuah give all His sons the inheritance which is
held for us in the Kingdom of Yahuah.
We see Sha’ul (Sha’ul)
praying that the true knowledge that Yahuah alone is our God and Father be
revealed to His chosen:
Ephesians 1
17
I keep asking that
the
God of our King the Messiah Yahusha,
the glorious
Father, may give you the Spirit
of wisdom and revelation, so
that you may know him (your Father)
better.
18
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you
may know the hope to which He (your Father)
has called you (as His son), the riches
of His (your Father’s) glorious
inheritance in His (Yahuah’s) holy people,
19
and His (Yahuah’s)
incomparably great power toward us who believe. That power is the same as the
mighty strength
20 He (your Father Yahuah) exerted when He (the Father) raised Yahusha (His son) from the dead and seated Yahusha at His
(Father’s) right hand in
the
Kingdom of Yahuah,
21 far
above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is
invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22
And Yahuah (the Father)
placed all things under his (son Yahusha’s)
feet and appointed Yahusha to be head over everything for the sons of Yahuah,
23
which is His (Yahuah’s) body (Temple),
the fullness of Him (Yahuah) who fills
everything in every way.
All of the references to
Father and son in the Bible are in context of the Hebraic mindset of the place
and authority of the father over his household. It is within this context that Yahusha
as the son and “perfect image” of the Father is understood. Yahusha is the
proxy of His Father Yahuah as His instrument and assistant as Yahusha is seated
at his Father Yahuah’s right hand. The Universe is still the property of The
Creator; the responsibility to govern it is given over to His sons.
Unger's Bible Dictionary, page 347
2.
PLACE AND AUTHORITY. The position and authority of the father as the head of
the family is expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture as
a likeness of that of the Almighty over his creatures. It lies, of course,
at the root of that so-called patriarchal government (Gen. 3:16; I Cor.
11:3)... While the father lived, he continued to represent the whole family,
the property was held in his name, and all was under his superintendence and
control... The children, and even the grandchildren, continued under the roof
of the father … The property of the soil, the power of judgment, the civil
rights belonged to him only, and his sons were merely his instruments and
assistants...
The Scriptures generally describe
all things relative to Yahuah using human terms i.e. physical to spiritual
parallels. This literary technique, called anthropomorphism, is one of the
primary means used in Scripture to lead us into an understanding of Yahuah.
Anthropomorphism:
Attribution
of human characteristics to nonhumans: the attribution of a human form, human
characteristics, or human behavior to nonhuman things such as deities in
mythology and animals in children's stories.
This is commonly done in the
Scriptures with reference to Yahuah's "heart", "hand",
"finger", etc. Attributes of personality such as
"jealousy", "will" or "desire", "hate",
and many other "emotions" are anthropomorphic. The reason for this
technique is so that mankind, who is incapable of truly understanding the
infinite Almighty, can grasp the basics of what is actually beyond our ability
to understand.
The reference to Yahusha as Yahuah's
"son" is one of these techniques to help us understand the
relationship between Yahuah and all His chosen. It may surprise most Christians
to realize
Yahusha
was not the ONLY "son of Yahuah" mentioned in Scripture!
Solomon was referred to as Yahuah's son:
2 Samuel 7:14
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
NOTE:
Meaning of “iniquity” is breaking the Law of Yahuah.
The
word in that verse is the Greek word anomía:
Entry for Strong's #458 -
ἀνομία
Proof of this referring to
Solomon is found in 1 Chronicles 28:6
1 Chronicles 28:6
6 And he (Yahuah)
said unto me (David),
Solomon thy son, he shall
build my house and my courts: for I
have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
It should be noted that
verses regarding Solomon (and many other passages) are sometimes assumed to
refer to Messiah. I agree, however, I feel the correct standard method of
interpreting Scripture is to first look for a DIRECT application first and then
the spiritual parallel. Continuing with the sons of Yahuah mentioned in
Scripture... The entire
nation of Israel is referred to as Yahuah's sons!
Exodus 4:22
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Yahuah,
Israel is my son, even my
firstborn:
Adam was the "son of Yahuah"
also.
Luke 3:38
38 Which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Seth, which was
the son of Adam, which was
the son of Yahuah.
Of course, all TRUE followers
of Yahuah's Holy instructions (Torah) are called sons of Yahuah. Therefore…
It
is SCRIPTURALLY accurate to say there is reference to well over 600,000
"sons of Yahuah" in the Bible, since Israel is Yahuah's son.
This is something Traditional
Christian teachers hate to have revealed.
Exodus 12:37
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
Succoth, about six hundred
thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
The term "son of Yahuah"
is always used
in an anthropomorphic sense to refer to Yahuah's
representative(s) i.e.
“sons”. Of course, as THE greatest, most obedient,
and most exalted of ALL of Yahuah's representatives, Yahusha, is indeed,
THE son of Yahuah.
Yahusha
is the ultimate tsadik, or pious and righteous servant and
representative of Yahuah. Also, of course, if one wishes to accept the virgin
birth, Yahusha can be further seen as being a "son" of Yahuah.
However, as I show when I address the Virgin Birth, the teaching that Yahusha
was conceived of a virgin outside of the seed of Joseph actually threatens Yahusha's
claim to being the Messiah and disqualifies him. So there is nothing within the
context of the virgin birth that makes Yahusha any more of a son of Yahuah than
any other man.
The New Testament actually
suggests to us the exact moment that Yahusha was "begotten" of Yahuah!
Yes, believe it or not, we can know the precise time of the
final
"begetting" of Messiah Yahusha. In Acts 13 Sha’ul is speaking to
those gathered in a synagogue in Antioch. In this single chapter, the entire
gospel is summed up in one of the most concise presentations to be found anywhere
in Scripture. During this sermon, Sha’ul reveals the exact moment that Yahusha's
"begotten" status was completed.
Acts 13:33
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."
The Psalm to which he refers
is:
Psalm 2:7
7 I will declare the decree: Yahuah has said to Me,
"You are My Son, Today I have begotten
You."
Therefore, we see the
SCRIPTURAL day Yahusha was begotten – the scriptural day he fully became the
son of Yahuah.
It was on the day of his resurrection. This, also, is
how he became the "first fruits of the resurrection" and the full
"son of Yahuah." The announcement of the angel Gabriel in Luke
presents (in the future tense) the fact that Yahusha "will be called
the Son of the Highest.” This prophecy from Gabriel had its fulfillment at Yahusha's
resurrection.
Luke 1:32
32 He will be great, and
will be called the Son of the Highest; and Yahuah
will give Him the throne of His father David.
As usual, I appeal to common
sense. One that is "begotten" is not eternal but has a beginning;
therefore, the "begotten one" (Yahusha) cannot be the "Eternal
One," Yahuah. I would argue that the resurrection is the
COMPLETION of
the PROCESS of Yahusha's becoming
Yahuah's Son. He was already His Son as defined previously in terms of
being Yahuah's perfect representative, agent, servant, and anointed One. For
the reasons I will explain in the virgin birth section, I do not accept the
virgin birth as it is taught. I consider it to be an attempt by those lead by
the spirit of error (spirit of the false messiah) to usurp Yahusha's rightful
claim to be the Messiah of Israel. The doctrine of the Virgin Birth eliminates
the primary importance of him being of the literal seed of David
through the father as
scripture demands!
Upon his resurrection,
Messiah Yahusha became THE
Son of the Highest due to the fact that Yahusha was the very first man EVER
resurrected to eternal life!
Romans 1:3-4
3 concerning His Son Yahusha the Messiah our King, who
was born of the seed of David (the son of
man, the man Joseph) according to the flesh (the “seed” of Yahuah is Spirit not flesh),
4 and declared to
be the Son of Yahuah with power according to the Spirit
of holiness (this is the “seed” of Yahuah),
by the resurrection from the
dead.
Yahusha, prior to resurrection, was 100% human, the product
of the seed of Joseph and Mary like all humans; fully human in every way as Sha’ul
put it. Yahuah has no physical seed and in no way “impregnated Mary” as is
taught. That is a pagan philosophy passed on to us from Babylon (Ishtar being
impregnated with Tammuz by the rays of the sun god Ba’al). If Yahusha was in
any way the Spiritual Son of Yahuah while on Earth, death would have been an
impossibility. Yahusha was begotten as elohim upon resurrection not his
human birth. The fact Yahusha died is the “nail in the coffin” of the false
doctrine of Incarnation.
Luke 20:36
36 for they cannot even die anymore, because they
are like angels, and are
sons of Yahuah, being
sons of the resurrection.
Again we see above, you are
not fully begotten by the seed of Yahuah until resurrection. When your
body is transposed to the Kingdom of Yahuah
(through resurrection)
are you truly begotten by Yahuah in His full image as an eternal son.
The Christian Church teaches
that ‘Jesus’ was the only begotten son on Earth through a divine
conception to Mary. This is not the birth indicated by the word
begotten;
the term begotten is not referring to Yahusha’s human birth to Joseph
and Mary; but rather his birth into full son ship to Yahuah. It is referring to
Yahusha’s resurrection into the Kingdom of Yahuah.
Whenever
speaking of his human birth in the flesh the word
born is used not
begotten.
The term "only begotten
son" simply means Yahusha at
this time and until such time as the first resurrection is
the ONLY begotten (resurrected) son of Yahuah in the family. Yahusha was the
FIRST FRUITS (resurrected the first fruits of many more to come on the first
Sabbath after Passover, then presented the first fruits of the resurrection to
the Father the next day on the Feast of First Fruits).
1 Corinthians 15
20 But now the Messiah has been risen (by Yahuah) from the dead, and
has become (the firstborn
son upon resurrection not birth to Mary/Joseph)
the first fruits of those
who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man (Adam)
came death (the Law of Sin and Death),
by Man (Yahusha the Second Adam) also came
the resurrection of the dead (the Law of Sin and
Death has been defeated). 22 For as in Adam
all die (being held to account for the decrees in the
Law), even so (those who abide) in The Yahushaic Covenant
shall all be made alive (begotten by Yahuah as sons through resurrection).
23 But each one (of the sons of Yahuah)
in his own order (after Yahusha, the eldest son):
The Messiah the first fruits
(first and only at this point of the sons to be resurrected),
afterward those who are in covenant with Yahuah through Yahusha
at Yahusha’s coming (First Resurrection when the rest of the sons
will be begotten).
You see, the term
begotten
is the key. “Begotten of Yahuah” means resurrected birth not human
birth. It is specifically talking about ONLY RESURRECTED SON until he returns
to resurrect the rest of the family of Yahuah.
Acts 13:33
32 And we declare to you glad tidings—that promise (that we are gods, sons of the Most High Psalm 82:6)
which was made (by Yahuah)
to the (fore) fathers (we are saved
by faith in the promises of Yahuah made to our forefathers).
33 Yahuah has fulfilled this (promise of eternal life as literal gods, sons of Yahuah) for
us their children (children of Abraham/Isaac/Jacob only),
in that Yahuah has raised up Yahusha (the promise of eternal life fulfilled).
As it is also written in the second Psalm:
"You are My Son, Today (day Yahusha was resurrected)
I have begotten You."
Romans 1:3-4
3 concerning His Son Yahusha the Messiah our King, who
was born of the seed of David (both Mary/Joseph) according
to the flesh (was a human), 4 and
declared to be the Son of Yahuah
with power according to the Spirit of holiness,
by the resurrection from the dead.
Yahusha is not the only son,
just the only begotten from the grave at this point. Adam and David, and
indeed all of us are declared sons of Yahuah. We too, shall be sons of Yahuah,
begotten by the same power of the Spirit of Holiness upon resurrection just
like Yahusha, brothers to the first born:
Luke 20:36
36 for they cannot even die anymore, because they are
like angels, and are
sons
of Yahuah, being sons of the resurrection.
The distinction between Yahusha
and the rest of the sons of Yahuah is that Yahusha is the eldest and heir to
all things as the firstborn of the resurrection through inheritance. We too
will follow Yahusha and be begotten as sons of Yahuah through resurrection. We
will take our place as Priests, Judges, and Kings under the authority of the
first born and King of Kings and High Priest...
Matthew 19:28-29
28 Yahusha said to them,
"Most assuredly I tell you, that you who have followed me, in the
"Regeneration" (Resurrection)
when (after resurrection) the Son of
Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve
thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Revelation 5:10
10 And hast made us unto our God (Yahuah)
kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Romans 8:19
“creation
eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of Yahuah”… vs. 21 “when creation
will be set free from slavery and come into the glorious freedom of the sons of
Yahuah”
Revelation 21:7
7 He that
overcomes (death through
resurrection) shall inherit
all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
We see that all the promises given to Yahusha are also
given to us. We too sit on thrones, we too inherit “all things”, we too are
sons of Yahuah. Yahusha is the first born son through resurrection, the first
fruits presented to Yahuah through ascension, and currently the only
resurrected human (only begotten son).
Notice it is all about a family and inheritance.
Colossians 1
13 Who (Yahuah)
hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transposed us into the
kingdom of His dear (firstborn) Son (Yahusha):
14 In whom (Yahusha) we have redemption (to Yahuah) through his (Yahusha’s) blood (that
consummated the marriage covenant, we become ‘one with Yahuah’ as Yahusha was),
even the forgiveness of sins (the decrees in the
Law for transgressing Yahuah’s commands are covered by the blood of the lamb):
15 Who (Yahusha) is the (perfect human) image of the invisible God (the proxy of Yahuah), the firstborn (Feast of First Fruits) of every (eternal) creature.
Sha’ul changes the subject to distinguish Yahuah as the Creator
16 For by Him (Yahuah)
were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible (flesh) and invisible (spirit),
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by Him (Yahuah), and for
him (for Yahusha as an inheritance):
17
And He (the Creator Yahuah) is before
all things (self existing), and by Him (Yahuah) all things consist.
Sha’ul changes the subject back to Yahusha to distinguish Yahusha
as the first born son of Yahuah
18 And he (Yahusha)
is the head of the body (the Temple of Yahuah),
the assembly (family of Yahuah): who (Yahusha) is the beginning (of that family), the firstborn from the dead (Yahusha was the first to complete the process of training on
Earth and be given Eternal Life by Yahuah); that in all things (of Yahuah’s) he (Yahusha)
might have the preeminence (among the sons of Yahuah).
19 For it pleased the Father (of Yahusha)
that in him (Yahusha) should all
fullness (of deity) dwell (Yahusha was full of the Spirit of Holiness); 20
And (Yahusha by defeating the Law of Sin and Death),
having made peace (between the two houses, Remnant
Israel) through the blood of his stake (by
covering the death decrees freeing us from the fear of death that held us
captive), by him (offering his life as a
sacrifice to Yahuah) to reconcile all things (Yahuah created) unto Himself; by (sacrificing) him (self,
as the Passover Lamb), I say, whether they be things in earth, or
things in heaven.
Ephesians 1
1 Sha’ul, an apostle of Messiah Yahusha by the will of Yahuah,
to the assembly of sons which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in (covenant with) Messiah Yahusha:
2
Grace be to you, and peace, from Yahuah our Father, and from the King Messiah Yahusha.
3 Blessed be
the God (declaration
of the Shema) and Father of our King Messiah Yahusha, who (Yahuah) hath blessed us (his
sons) with all spiritual blessings in
the Kingdom of Yahuah
in
(covenant with) Yahusha:
4
According (to Yahuah’s purpose) as he (Yahuah) hath chosen (predestined)
us in him (self) before the foundation
of the world (through His Plan of Salvation),
that we should be holy and without blame before him (Yahuah) in love (through covenant):
5 Having predestinated (according to His
Plan of Salvation) us unto the adoption of children (Yahuah’s plan to beget a family) by (the blood sacrifice of) Messiah Yahusha (as Passover Lamb) to himself (one through marriage covenant), according to the
good pleasure of his (Yahuah’s) will (to beget a family of gods to govern His creation),
6 To the praise of the glory of his (Yahuah’s)
grace, wherein he hath (through blood sacrifice of
Messiah) made us accepted in the beloved (family of Yahuah).
7 In whom (Messiah Yahusha)
we have redemption (from the second death, The
Passover) through his blood (the
Passover Lamb), the forgiveness of sins (decrees
covered for transgression of Law), according to the riches of his (Yahuah’s) grace;
8 Wherein (covenant with Yahusha) He (Yahuah) hath abounded toward us (unlimited Grace) in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will (to beget a family), according to his (Yahuah’s) good pleasure which he (Yahuah) hath purposed (predestined to create) in himself (as
the Father):
10 That in the
dispensation of the fullness of times (as foretold
by His prophets) he (Yahuah)
might gather together in one (through the covenant
of marriage, the two shall become one) all things in (covenant with the) Messiah, both which are in
heaven, and which are on earth; even in him(self, Yahuah
will reconcile creation through the sacrifice of His Son):
11 In whom (the first born
Son, Messiah Yahusha) also we (too)
have obtained an inheritance (as sons of
God, we inherit the Universe), being predestinated according to the
purpose of Yahuah (to govern creation through a
family of gods) who works all things after the counsel of his (Yahuah’s) own will: 12 That we (sons of God) should be the praise of his (Yahuah’s) glory, who first trusted in Yahusha the
Messiah. 13 In whom (Yahusha)
you also trusted (was the Messiah),
after that you heard the word of truth (that we too
are sons of God), the gospel of your salvation (purchased through the blood sacrifice of Yahusha to
consummate the covenant of marriage whereby we are ONE with Yahuah):
in whom (Yahusha) also after that you
believed, that you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14
Which is the earnest (guarantee) of our
(future) inheritance (as
sons of God) until the redemption (transposition
to the Kingdom of Yahuah ) of the purchased possession (when we’ll be begotten gods, sons of Yahuah),
unto the praise of his glory.
….
17 I keep asking that
the God of
our King the Messiah Yahusha,
the glorious Father, may give
you the Spirit
of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him (your Father) better.
18 I pray that
the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope
to which he (your Father) has called you
(as His son), the riches of his (your Father’s) glorious inheritance in his (Yahuah’s) holy people, 19
and his (Yahuah’s)
incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the
mighty strength
20 he (your Father Yahuah) exerted when he (the Father) raised Yahusha (His son) from the dead and seated Yahusha at his
(Father’s) right hand in
the
Kingdom of Yahuah ,
21 far
above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is
invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22
And Yahuah (the
Father) placed all things under his (son
Yahusha’s) feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the
sons of Yahuah,
23 which is his (Yahuah’s) body (Temple),
the fullness of him (Yahuah) who fills
everything in every way.
There really isn’t much I can
add to that. Sha’ul did an outstanding job of explaining exactly what Yahuah
set out to do and where Yahusha fits in, and where the rest of His sons are
destined within the Plan of Yahuah. Yahusha is the first human to
complete the process of perfection and the first human to be resurrected from
the grave as a full son of Yahuah. He is the only begotten son of the
resurrection at this point. But, he will not always be the only begotten son. There
are many more to follow.
Yahusha is called the
firstborn of Creation. Does this mean that Yahusha was created and existed
prior to his human birth? To understand this title for Yahusha we must use
Wisdom
and Insight and overcome the
pagan philosophy of “Logos” and the
physical to spiritual parallel of “light”. It is imperative that we all
know what happened when Greeks and Romans took over the faith. We know the
Greeks did not understand scripture and twisted it into a lie:
1 Corinthians 1
20
Where
is the wise? Where
is the scribe? Where
is the disputer of
this age? Has not Yahuah made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21
For since, in the wisdom of Yahuah,
the world (the Roman Empire) through
wisdom did not know Yahuah, it pleased Yahuah through the foolishness of
the message preached to save those who believe. 22
For Jews request a sign, and
Greeks seek after wisdom (through philosophy);
23
but we preach the Passover
sacrifice of Yahusha, to the Jews a stumbling block and
to the Greeks
foolishness,
24
but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, the
Messiah is the power of Yahuah and the wisdom of Yahuah. 25
Because the foolishness of Yahuah
is wiser than men, and the weakness of Yahuah (if
there
is such a thing) is stronger than men.
2 Peter 3
14
Therefore,
beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in
peace, without spot and blameless;
15 and consider
that the longsuffering of our King
is salvation—as also our beloved brother Sha’ul, according to the wisdom
given to him, has written to you,
16 as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these
things, in which are some things hard to understand,
which untaught and
unstable people twist to their own destruction,
as they
do also the rest of the Scriptures.
We say that the Hebrew texts
and the Gospel and all the Hebrew names were “Hellenized” not realizing what
that means. That word does not just mean the Hebrew texts were translated into Greek
and Latin. What Hellenized literally means is that the polytheistic religion of
the Greeks was merged into the texts and the text altered to be “Greek
appropriate” so the pagans could be assimilated into the one world religion
called Christianity. Hellenism is Greek paganism. Everyone should fully
understand what happened during this time in history. The Truth of Yahuah was
merged with pagan Hellenism through syncretism. We see below that nothing
changed with Hellenism and that the same gods continued to be worshipped until
300 CE. This is when Constantine brought everything under one pagan religion
called Christianity.
Hellenistic
religion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hellenistic
religion is any of the various systems of beliefs and practices of the people
who lived under the influence of ancient Greek culture during the Hellenistic
period and the Roman Empire (c. 300 BCE to 300 CE).
There
was much continuity in Hellenistic religion: the Greek gods continued to be
worshipped, and the same rites were practiced as before.
We call this assimilation of
Greek Hellenism to be Hellenized. We know that the pagan Greek
religion (Hellenism) overtook the truth of Yahuah and the resulting religion is
now called Christianity:
Hellenization
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The twentieth century
witnessed a lively debate over the extent of Hellenization in the Levant and
particularly
among the ancient Palestinian Jews that has continued until today.
The
Judaism of the diaspora was thought to have succumbed thoroughly to its
influences. Bultmann thus argued that
Christianity arose almost completely
within those Hellenistic confines and should be read against that background as
opposed to a more traditional (Palestinian) Jewish background
I want to firmly establish
this historical fact because “Logos” was one of those philosophical ideas of
Hellenism that was incorporated into the texts and the texts were altered by
the Greek and Hellenized Jews who translated it. In order to justify the false
doctrine of “pre-existence” or the “incarnation” that Yahusha pre-existed with Yahuah
and was co-creator, Christianity quotes John Chapter 1:
John 1
1 In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God
in the beginning.
3 Through him all
things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4
In him was life, and that life was the light of
all mankind.
5 The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome
it.
6
There was a man sent from God whose name was John.
7 He came as a
witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might
believe.
8
He himself was not the
light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming
into the world. 10
He was in the world, and though the world was
made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11
He came to that which was his own, but his
own did not receive him.
12
Yet to
all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right
to become children of God—
13
children
born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but
born of God.
14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the
Father, full of grace and truth.
15
(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying,
“This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has
surpassed me because he was before me.’”)
16 Out of his fullness we have all
received grace in place of grace already given. 17
For the Law was given through Moses; grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18
No
one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in
closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
All the modern translations (like
the NIV above) are uninspired Hellenized translations giving preference
to Greek mythology not the Hebrew mindset. Let us define terms and then correct
the modern Hellenized translations with the intent and mindset of John
who was a Hebrew Jew not a Greek philosopher.
The doctrine of
“pre-existence”, “Logos”, and the “Incarnation” are very good examples of
taking scripture out of context. Taking scriptural “sound bites” and stringing
them all together out of context to create an implied doctrine. These
doctrines are always easy to identify because they violate clear explicate
doctrine (sound doctrine). Anytime an implied doctrine is formulated, that
contradicts explicit scriptures, we must reject that doctrine as our
“understanding” is flawed.
Let's look closer at how the
doctrine evolved that Yahusha is literally the "Word" or “Divine
Logos” of YAHUAH that became flesh used to justify incarnation. Is Yahusha
literally the "Word" or is Yahusha the fulfillment of YAHUAH's Word
from the beginning. There is a big difference.
As you can see, the entire
doctrine of incarnation that lead to the acceptance of the pagan Babylonian
Trinity through syncretism did not come about until
4 centuries after Yahusha
lived and died. That false doctrine that Yahusha is literally "Logos"
and not the fulfillment of YAHUAH's predestined plan evolved in the 4th Century
through the "tradition and reasoning" under the influence of
pagan Greek philosophers such as Plato...
The
Abingdon Dictionary of Living Religions,
page 767, tells us:
TRINITY (Ch). The
Dogma, formulated authoritatively in fourth century church Councils, that
Christians worship one God in three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and one
substance. Under pressure to explain to a hostile Roman world how Christians
counted themselves monotheists, Christian apologists (notably Justin Martyr, d.
165) combined Johannine and Stoic-Platonic understanding of the term
Logos ("Reason," or "Word") in order to maintain
that the Son was both God's own self-expression and a being distinct from him.
So we read above The Trinity was justified
not through the Word of Yahuah (because it cannot be) it was justified using
Hellenism or the “combined Johannine and Stoic Platonic” pagan philosophy of
the term “Logos”.
We read
below that the term logos
was defined by Christians according to
the interpretations of pagan influenced philosophers in order to promote
a false pagan God-savior:
Encyclopedia
Britannica, Volume 7, page 449.
LOGOS (Greek:"word, "reason, or plan"),
plural logoi, in Greek philosophy and theology, the divine reason
implicit in the cosmos, ordering it and giving it form and meaning.
Though
the concept defined by the term logos is found in Greek, Indian, Egyptian, and
Persian philosophical and theological systems, it became particularly
significant in Christian writings and doctrines to describe or define the role
of Jesus Christ as the principle of God active in the creation and the
continuation structuring of the cosmos and in revealing the divine plan of
salvation to man. It thus underlies the basic Christian doctrine of the
pre-existence of Jesus…
The identification of
Jesus with the logos was further developed in the early church but more on the
basis of Greek philosophical ideas than on Old Testament motifs.
The concept of Logos was based on
Greek
philosophical ideas not on any prophecy or Old Testament “motifs” or
Hebrew understanding at all. It is (and remains) a pagan philosophy of
Hellenism.
The Religions of Ancient Greece and
Babylonia clearly tells us that
the Greek philosophical ideas were developed in Alexandria, Egypt from the
pagan
Babylonian mystery religions. These ideas pertaining to the meaning of
Logos
penetrated as a result of modern religious thought through the philosophy of
Greece and Egypt. It was through syncretism that we have the word “Logos”
or “Word” written in our English Bibles instead of “The Plan of Yahuah”:
The
Religions of Ancient Greece and Babylonia, by A. H. Sayce. pages 229-230
Many of the
theories of Egyptian religion, modified and transformed no doubt, have
penetrated into the theology of Christian Europe, and form, as it were, part of
the woof in the web of modern religious thought.
Christian
theology was largely organized and nurtured in the schools of Alexandria, and
Alexandria was not only the meeting place of East and West, it was also the
place where the decrepit theology of Egypt was revivified by contact with the
speculative philosophy of Greece. Perhaps, however,
the indebtedness
of Christian theological theory to ancient Egyptian dogma is nowhere more
striking than in the doctrine of the Trinity. The very terms used of it by
Christian theologians meet us again in the inscriptions and papyri of Egypt.
Originally the trinity was a triad like those we find in
Babylonian mythology. The triad consisted of a divine father, wife,
and son. The father became the son and the son the father through all time, and
of both alike the mother was but another form.
It is from the pagan mystery religions that the Greek
philosophers developed the idea of Logos:
The New
International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, Volume 3, page 1085
Among the systems
offering an explanation of the world in terms of the
logos,
there
are the Mystery Religions. These cultic communities did not see their task
as lying in the communication of knowledge of a scientific nature, but of
mysteries to their initiates who strove for purification in the recurrent
enactment of sacred actions. The Foundation for these cultic actions was Sacred
Text. Among them were the cults of Dionysus, the Pytha-goreans, and the Orphic
Mysteries. By means of these cults, non Greek thought, such as in the
Isis-Osiris Mysteries, which Osiris the logos created by Isis is the
spiritual image of the world. Similarly in the cult of Hermes, Hermes informed
his son Tat in the Sacred Text belonging to the cult, how by God's mercy, he
became logos, and thus a son of God.
As
such, he (Hermes) brought regulation and form into world, but himself
remained a mediating being between God and matter, on one side, and God and man
on the other. The logos
can also,
however, appear as the son of Hermes, resulting in a triple (trinity)
gradation: God (who is Zeus), Son (Hermes), and LOGOS.
Now back to John Chapter 1 where this pagan
philosophy of “Logos” was mistranslated into our English Bibles by uninspired
Hellenized translators.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God
in the beginning.
3 Through him all
things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4
In him was life, and that life was the light of
all mankind.
The word “word” in these verses comes
from the Greek word logos. The Christians, so eager to promote
the pagan Trinity, attached to the word
every pagan interpretation. But they
deliberately ignore the fact that John was a Hebrew Jew who had nothing to do
with pagan Greek philosophy and the Gospel of John was not written from the
pagan mindset associated with the Greek word logos. The Gospel of
John was written from a Hebraic mindset and most probably penned originally in
Hebrew not Greek.
The
Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia, Moody Press, Chicago, IL, Volume 2 pages 1046-1047.
Many scholars
have argued that the apostle John had this philosophical development (of the
pagan LOGOS) in the back of his mind when he wrote the prologue to his Gospel
and that he actually tried to impart some of these (pagan) concepts. For a long
time many have contended that the background of the fourth Gospel was
essentially Hellenistic rather than Hebraic. In dealing with such an assertion
we may note that studies in the Dead Sea scrolls have tended to confirm the
traditional conservative position that the cultural orientation of
the
Gospel of John was Hebraic. Moreover, we must observe that John was a
simple fisherman from Palestine. … there is no evidence that he imbibed
any Greek pagan philosophical orientation in John Chapter 1. If he
intended to be philosophical in the first few verses, he certainly was not
anywhere else. We may argue that John used the word "logos."
in its ordinary meaning.
This
source admits that John used this word in its ordinary meaning in the Hebraic
mindset. They further admit that John's writings were Hebraic not Greek which
means the actual word John used was the Hebrew word
dabar not the
Greek word logos. The
Encyclopedia Judaica admits
that the style of most of the writings in The New Testament is, in fact,
Hebraic. The Greek versions we have today of The New Testament are later
Hellenized versions translated from earlier Hebrew original versions that were
most likely, burned after the council of Nicaea.
What we find is that “logos”
is a mistranslation; the original version of John Chapter 1 used the Hebrew
word debar.
The Encyclopedia
Judaica, Volume 12, page 1060
THE LANGUAGE OF
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
Although the
language of the New Testament, in the form that it exists today, is Greek, two
earlier influences are still discernible.
(1) THE INFLUENCE
OF THE ARAMAIC-HEBREW ORIGINALS. Because most of the authors were
Jewish Nazarenes, they spoke, for the most part,
Aramaic, and some also
mishnaic Hebrew. This influence, which was detectable particularly in
the original versions of Mark and Matthew, survives to some degree in their
extant Greek versions and in several of the Epistles as well, including James
and Jude.
(2) THE
SEPTUAGINT.
Since this translation was used by many authors, the New Testament contains not
only Aramaic words and phrases, which the disciples heard from Jesus and took
care to remember out of reverence for their master (e.g. Talitha Kumi (Mark
5:41), Kum, Rabboni, Eli, Eli (Elohi, Elohi) lama sabachthani (Matt. 27:46;
Mark 15:24)), but also expressions and phrases which retain their Hebrew flavor
although they were transmitted through the Greek translation of the
Hebrew Bible.
So, John wrote under inspiration of Yahuah,
not of a pre-existent God-savior, but of the wonderful
Plan of Yahuah
which is what the Hebrew word debar implies.
The Anchor
Bible shows us from the Talmud that seven things were in Yahuah's mind
showing us what the Hebraic mindset was. His Plan was from the beginning and
this plan included the Savior. This is the mindset of John Chapter 1 not the
pagan philosophy of “Logos”:
The Anchor
Bible, Ephesians 1-3, page 111
IN THE TALMUD tractate Pesachim 54a; cf. Nedarim 39b, seven things,
i.e. the Law, repentance, paradise, Gehinnom, the throne of glory, the heavenly
sanctuary, and the Messiah are not called pre-created, but pre-conceived
in (Yahuah's) thoughts.
The Gospel of John was
originally written in Hebrew then Hellenized into a Greek appropriate book in
order to assimilate pagan religions through syncretism. The Hebrew word
used in John Chapter 1 was debar.
A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament shows us that the Hebrew word
dabar
refers to Yahuah's Plan and His Laws.
A Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament, by Julius Furst, page 312
dabar
The Interpreter's
Dictionary states emphatically
that “word” or “logos” or “debar’ as used in The Bible is referring to “Yahuah’s
revealed will or predestined Plan” for mankind.
Speaking of the
debar
i.e. “word” of Yahuah,
The Interpreter's Dictionary
states
emphatically:
The Interpreter's Dictionary , Volulme
4 pages 870-871
"The
word of God" (o logof tou qeou) is used of:
(a)
the OT law (cf. Mark 7:13=Matt 15:6, where it is contrasted with the tradition
of the Jews);
(b)
a particular OT passage (cf. John 10:35, referring to Ps. 82:6);
(c)
in a more general sense, God's revealed will, or
his whole plan and purpose for mankind (cf. Luke 11:28; Rom.
9:6; Col. 1:25-27, where it is defined as the "mystery hidden for ages and
generations but now manifest to his saints..., which is Christ in you";
Heb. 4:12);
What we have learned above is
that our English Bibles are modern Hellenized
uninspired translations
that Hellenized the original Hebraic mindset of the New Testament and promoted
pagan philosophical thought. The way John Chapter 1 is translated into English
embodies the pagan philosophical ideas from Babylon contained in the Greek word
“Logos”. The real meaning of “word” in John Chapter
1 can be found in the Hebrew word “debar” which means
the predestined
Plan of Yahuah.
What John had in mind was
not
the pre-existence of Yahusha, but the pre-conceived Plan of Yahuah. This is the
polar opposite of how John 1 is taught today.
With all
this in mind, let us read the correct translation of the following Scripture.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the
plan of Yahuah, and
the plan was with Yahuah
(and defined His purpose in creation), and
the
plan was Yahuah's. 2 The same
plan was in the beginning with Yahuah.
3 All things were done according to the plan of Yahuah, and without the
plan
of Yahuah nothing was done, that was done. 4 In
this plan was (predestined) life (through
a human Messiah’s sacrifice), and that life was the light (revelation) to mankind. 5 Now that light (revealed plan to send a human Messiah has been fulfilled in Yahusha)
shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not take hold of it. 6
There was a man sent from Yahuah whose name was
John. 7
He came as a witness to
testify concerning that light (that Yahusha was The
Passover Lamb of Yahuah), so that through him all might believe (that Yahusha was the fulfillment of that plan to send a
human Messiah).
8 He
himself was not the light (the Messiah, many
believed John the Baptist was the Messiah); he came only as a
witness to the light (Yahusha).
9 The true light (Yahusha)
that gives light (reveals The WAY) to
everyone was coming into the world (as a man). 10
He (Yahusha)
was in the world (in the flesh), and
though the world was reconciled to Yahuah through him, the world did not
recognize him.
11
Yahusha came to
that which was his own (the Jews), but
his own did not receive him.
12
Yet
to all who did receive him (enter into
The
Yahushaic Covenant), to those who believed in (the covenant that bears) his name (The Yahushaic Covenant), he gave the right to
become children of God—
13
children
born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but
begotten of Yahuah (through resurrection).
14 The predestined plan of Yahuah (to send a human Messiah written in the stars that witnesses
to all mankind) became flesh (was born
human and fulfilled in Yahusha) and made his dwelling among us (was fully human in every way
Hebrews 2:17).
We have seen Yahuah’s glory (fulfilled in Yahusha),
the glory of the one and only (begotten)
Son (until the first resurrection), who
came from the (predestined mind or plan of the)
Father, full of grace (covered the death decrees
for our sin) and truth (properly teach the
Torah as Moses prophesied of him).
15 (John the Baptist testified concerning him. He cried
out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me
has surpassed me because he was before me (in the
Plan of Yahuah and given pre-eminence among the sons of Yahuah Colossians
1:17)’”) 16 Out of his fullness (of obedience to the Law) we have all received
grace (his blood covers the death decrees in the
Law) in place of grace already given. 17 For the Law (with
active decrees or the Law of Sin and Death) was
given through Moses; grace (the decrees
covered by the blood of the lamb) and truth (the Law of the Spirit that leads to life) came
through Yahusha the Messiah. 18 No one has ever seen God (including Yahusha) but (however) the one and only Son (has come as the light to reveal Yahuah to mankind),
who is himself the (the perfect human)
image of Yahuah (Colossians 1:15 – “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation”)
and is
in closest relationship (covenant of marriage, the
two shall become one) with the Father, has made Yahuah’s plan (to procreate a family) known to us.
That is the meaning and
intent in context of scripture and the Hebraic mindset of John Chapter 1. Yahusha
was not the incarnation of Yahuah in the flesh nor did Yahusha have any hand in
creation. Yahusha is the fulfillment of the Plan of Yahuah to send a human
Messiah. Yahusha was the perfect human image of the invisible God. Yahusha is
the Proxy of Yahuah. Yahusha is the son of the
Father and it is no more complicated than that.
John 14
8 Philip said, “King, show us the
Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Yahusha answered: “Don’t you know me,
Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen
me has seen the (perfect human image of the
invisible) Father.
Colossians 1:15
“He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn over all creation
How
can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in (covenant with) the Father, and that the Father is
in (covenant with) me? The words (of this covenant) I say to you I do not speak on
my own authority (I am the proxy or messenger of Yahuah
of The Yahushaic Covenant, the
SIGNATORY). Rather, it
is the Father, living in me (through His Spirit of
Holiness), who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am
in (covenant with) the Father and the
Father is in (covenant with) me.
Yahusha and Yahuah are “one”
through covenant. All covenants in the Bible are marriage covenants. Within the
context of The Yahushaic Covenant, Yahusha and Yahuah are one
family (one through marriage) that is what the physical to spiritual parallel
of human marriage was designed to teach us.
John 10
25
Yahusha
answered them,
“I
told you (I was the Messiah), and you do
not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me. 26 But you do not believe, because you
are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they
follow my example.
28 And I give them (The
Way to) eternal
life (by example), and they shall never
perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. 29 My Father, who has given
them
to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch
them out of My
Father’s hand.
30
I
and My Father are one (family
in mind, will, purpose, and Spirit through covenant of
Marriage… the two shall become one).”
Yahusha came
to fulfill the marriage vows (the Law) which were always the foundation of
every marriage covenant:
Jeremiah 3
14
“Return, O backsliding children,” says Yahuah “for I am married to you.”

Yahusha’s existence began
like the existence of all the sons of Yahuah at the point of his human birth to
two earthly parents. Yahusha did not “pre-exist” other than in the mind of Yahuah
within the context of the Plan of Yahuah. King David spoke prophetically as though Yahusha was doing the talking in:
Psalm 22:9-10
9
But you took Me from My
mother's womb, Yahuah! You made Me trust in You, even from My mother's
breast.
10 I was cast upon You from My birth;
from My mother's womb, You are My
Strength.
The word for word Hebrew translation of
Psalm
22:9-10, from
The NIV Interlinear Hebrew-English Old Testament
shows the word from
in these Scriptures:
The Dictionary of Old
Testament Words for English Readers, says that the Hebrew letter,
mem,
which has been circled
in the previous copy, is prefixed to a
substantive, which denotes the preposition.
However, it is
The Hebraic Tongue Restored,
by Fabre d'Olivet, which tells us what these prepositions mean when the Hebrew
letter mem is prefixed.

Yahusha is
prophetically pictured through King David to say that Yahuah was His strength
from the beginning, starting with the point Yahusha Messiah was conceived in
His mother's womb. Yahuah was Yahusha's strength.
This can only mean one thing: that before Yahusha was
in His mother's womb, Yahuah was not His strength, because
Yahusha did not
yet exist. He had no need of strength. Yahuah was only Yahusha's strength,
beginning at, starting with, His mother's womb.
The belief that Yahusha had
his beginning in the womb as flesh is The Spirit of Yahuah. The denial and
belief in the incarnation and Trinity is the Spirit of the false messiah (Jesus
Christ) as I demonstrated in my book The Antichrist Revealed!
Anyone who elevates the image
of a man known by his monogram
i.e. Hesus Horus
Krishna (Jesus H. Christ) in their hearts as God above Yahuah will be given
over by Yahuah to believe a lie. That very lie is that the Law has been
abolished by the incarnation of God in the image
of Jesus H.
Christ.
The Spirit of the false
messiah is anyone who denies that Yahusha was a mere man (came in the flesh):
1 John 4
1 Beloved, do not believe
every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Yahuah, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world (claiming
to be the incarnation of God). 2
By this you know the Spirit of Yahuah:
every spirit that confesses that Messiah Yahusha has come in the flesh (a man) is from Yahuah; 3
and every spirit that does not confess Yahusha
has come in the flesh (but says Yahusha is Yahuah
or The Trinity) is not from Yahuah;
this is the spirit
of the antichrist (or False Messiah. The
false messiah is an image of a man worshipped above Yahuah as God) …
12
No one has seen Yahuah at any
time! (Because Yahusha is not Yahuah in the flesh
or a demi-god).
Anyone who elevates the
false
image of Yahusha (known as Jesus) into a God in their heart, believing in the
incarnation, has The Spirit of The false messiah.
The Spirit of Error is given to all of those who commit this abomination
and elevate the image of Jesus in their hearts as God. That
Spirit of Error
is defined as “abolishing the Law” i.e. do not keep the commandments of Yahuah.
2 John 7 - Beware of
Antichrist Deceivers
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world
who do not confess Yahusha
the Messiah as coming in the flesh (but rather
confess Jesus is God in the flesh).
This is a deceiver and an
antichrist. (The Spirit of the false
messiah) 8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we
worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. 9 Whoever transgresses (the Law of Yahuah) and does not abide in the
doctrine of the Messiah (that he
did not
come to abolish the Law) does not have (the
Spirit of) Yahuah (they have
The
Spirit of Error). He who abides in the doctrine of the Messiah (that not one Jot or Tittle of the Law has been abolished)
has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring
this
doctrine (but brings a Trinitarian lie and teaches
unrighteousness as truth see Romans 1:18 that the Law was abolished),
do not receive him into your house nor greet him; 11 for he who greets him
shares in his evil deeds (breaking of the Law).
One of the false doctrines
that have evolved in Christianity is that Yahuah created the Universe
through
“Jesus” by the process called Emanation.
Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary
Emanation
b: the origination of the world by
a series of hierarchically descending radiations from the Godhead through
intermediate stages to matter
The doctrine of Divine
Emanation from Yahuah through Yahusha implying Yahusha was co-creator is
another “implied doctrine” taken from “sound bites” of scripture. The main scripture is the
uninspired translation of John Chapter 1:
1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. 2
He was with God in the beginning. 3
Through him all things were made; without him
nothing was made that has been made.
I have already demonstrated
that the true meaning of John Chapter 1 says nothing like the uninspired
English modern translations as they used the Babylonian myth associated with
“logos” to translate that verse. The real meaning of John Chapter 1 is:
1 In
the beginning was the plan of Yahuah, and
the plan was with Yahuah
(and defined His purpose in creation),
and the plan was Yahuah's. 2 The same
plan was in the beginning
with Yahuah. 3 All things were done according to the
plan of Yahuah, and
without the plan of Yahuah nothing was done, that was done.
Scripture is very clear that Yahuah
created the Universe all alone, there was no one with Him and
that Yahuah alone sits on the throne of Creation. Yahusha sits at the right
hand of Yahuah and was only seated there after his resurrection. Yahusha sits
on the throne of the Kingdom of Yahuah
as Yahuah’s proxy King to
govern Yahuah’s creation.
Daniel 7
13 “I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, with
the clouds of heaven One (Yahusha) like
a
Son of Man (born human) was
coming, And He (Yahusha) came up to the
Ancient of Days (Yahuah who is everlasting and had
no beginning, they are not the same being) And Yahusha was presented
before Yahuah.
14 “And to Him (Yahusha)
was given (by Yahuah as an inheritance)
dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and
men of
every language Might
serve Him (not
worship Yahusha, we serve Yahusha in the Kingdom). His dominion is
an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which
will not be destroyed.
Like all “implied doctrines”,
the false doctrines of The Trinity, The Incarnation, and Divine Emanation, all violate
direct explicit declarations in Scripture. Yahuah alone is Creator:
Isaiah 44
6
“This is what Yahuah says —
Israel’s
King (Yahusha had not yet been installed as Yahuah’s
proxy King) and Redeemer, Yahuah Almighty: I am the first and I
am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Isaiah 44
24 “This is what Yahuah says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I
am Yahuah, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the
heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself.
Isaiah 42
5 This is what YAHUAH says—
He
who created the
heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out
of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:
Isaiah 45
5 I am YAHUAH,
and there is no other; apart from me there
is no God. 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring
prosperity and create disaster; I,
YAHUAH, do all these things. 12
It is I who made the earth and created mankind
upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts. 18 For this is what YAHUAH
says— He
who created the heavens, He
(alone) is God;
He who fashioned and
made the earth, He
founded it; He
did
not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited—
He says: "I
am YAHUAH, and there is no other (God)."
Isaiah 46
5 "To
whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will
you liken me that we may be compared? 8 "Remember this, fix it
in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. 9 Remember the former things,
those of long ago; I am God,
and there is no other; I am God, and
there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the
beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose
will stand, and I will do all that I please.
Yahuah makes it crystal clear
that He alone is The Creator and He alone sits on
The Throne of Creation.
Yes, Yahuah is The Creator and He did it all alone. Despite all
the rhetoric from the Christian Church about “the Trinity” and “divine
emanation”, “Divine Logos”, and so forth… Yahuah cleared it up. He did it by
Himself. There was no one with Him.
In the attempt to turn Yahuah
the one and only God into a pagan trinity, the New Testament has literally been
altered to add phrases that are not inspired words of Yahuah. I want to cover
just a few of them here.
1 John 5:7 & 8
For there are three that bear
record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in
earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three
agree in one (KJV).
Some English versions have a
shorter rendition of 1 John 5:7 and 8 than the KJV quoted above. The King James
Version has words that support the Trinity that most modern versions do not
have. How can this be? The reason that there are different translations of this
verse (leaving out the passage I have in red above) is that some Greek texts
contain an addition that was not original. That addition was placed into some
English versions, such as the KJV (the words added to some Greek texts are
underlined in the quotation above). The note in the NIV Study Bible, which is
well known for its ardent belief in the Trinity, even admits it, “The
addition is not found in any Greek manuscript or NT translation prior to the 16th
century.”
Most modern versions are
translated from Greek texts without the addition. We will quote the NIV:
“For
there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the
three are in agreement.” We agree with the textual scholars and conclude
from the evidence of the Greek texts that the statement that the Father, the
Word and the Holy Spirit are “one” was added to the Word of God by men, and
thus has no weight of truth.”
Wow. The entire doctrine of
the pagan Trinity begins to implode upon true inspection of The Word of Yahuah.
There are many Trinitarian scholars who freely admit that the Greek text from
which the KJV is translated was adjusted in this verse to support the Trinity. The
Greek scholar A. T. Robertson, author of the unparalleled work,
A Grammar
of the Greek New Testament in Light of Historical Research, and the
multi-volume Word Pictures in the New Testament, writes:
At
this point [1 John 5:7] the Latin Vulgate gives the words in the Textus
Receptus, found in no Greek Manuscript. Save two late cursives the
Vatican Library of the fifteenth century,
of the sixteenth century
in Trinity College, Dublin. Jerome did not have it. Erasmus did not have it in
his first edition, but rashly offered to insert it if a single Greek Manuscript
actually had it, and (those that did have it) was produced with the insertion,
as if made to order (to
promote the pagan Trinity).
Some Latin (pagan)
scribe caught up Cyprian’s exegesis and wrote it on the margin of his text,
and so it got into the Vulgate and finally into the Textus Receptus by the
stupidity of Erasmus.”
Robertson shows how this
addition entered the text. It was a marginal note written by uninspired Latin
pagans trying to translate the Word of Yahuah. They literally “made to order”
The Trinity in the text. Since all texts were hand-copied, when a scribe, copying
a text, accidentally left a word or sentence out of his copy, he would place it
in the margin in hopes that the next scribe would copy it back into the text. Unfortunately,
scribes occasionally did not make the distinction between what a previous
scribe had left out of the last copy and wrote in the margin, and marginal
notes that another scribe had written in the margin to help him understand the
text. Therefore, some marginal notes got copied into the text as Scripture. Usually
these additions are easy to spot because the “new” text will differ from all
the other texts. However, there are times when people adore their theology more
than the God-breathed original, and they fight for the man-made addition as if
it were the original words of God. This has been the case with 1 John 5:7 and
8, and we applaud the honesty of the translators of modern versions who have
left it out of their translations. Now we need to erase the Trinity from our
vocabulary and more importantly from our minds.
With the spurious addition
taken out, it is clear that there is no reference to the Trinity in 1 John 5:7
and 8.
1 John 5:7 & 8
For
there are three that bear record in heaven: the spirit, and the water, and the
blood: and these three agree in one that Yahusha is the son of Yahuah.
I will cover these 3
witnesses of Yahuah that Yahusha is His son in great detail in this book. Yet
another passage of scripture that has been altered to promote the pagan Trinity
by Hellenized translators is found in the Great Commission itself!
Matthew 28:18-19
18
And Yahusha came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me
in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit
The words underlined in above
were added to the original text, again, by scribes copying marginal notes. They
believed in the pagan Trinity and chose to alter the texts. These words are not
the words of Yahusha. Below is the actual true translation:
Matthew 28:18-19
18
And Yahusha came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me
in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in my name.
What Yahusha was saying is,
to make disciples of The Yahushaic Covenant or the covenant that
is in “my name’.
According to the Biblical
historian Dr. C. R. Gregory:
“The
Greek manuscripts of the text of the New Testament were often altered by the
scribes, who put into them the readings which were familiar to them, and which
they held to be the right readings.”
But keep in mind, these were
GREEK and LATIN scribes who were attempting to Hellenize the scriptures. This
is the case in Matthew. After the council of Nicea all original manuscripts
were burned to try and hide these abominations.
F.C. Conybeare further elaborated:
“In
the only codices which would be even likely to preserve an older reading,
namely the Sinaitic Syriac and the oldest Latin Manuscript,
the pages are
gone which contained the end of Matthew.”
The reason the end of Matthew
is “gone” is because the pagan scribes of Christianity changed the end of
Matthew and did not want evidence to the contrary. In two controversial works
written in Conybeare’s extreme old age, and entitled, the one ‘Against
Marcellus of Ancyra,’ and the other ‘About the Theology of the
Church,’ he used the common reading. One other writing of his also
contains it, namely a letter written after the Council of Nicea was over, to
his seer of Caesurae. In his Textual Criticism of the New Testament
Conybeare wrote:
It
is clear therefore, that of the manuscripts which Eusebius inherited from his
predecessor, Pamphilus, at Caesurae in Palestine, some at least preserved the
original reading, in which there was no mention either of baptism or of Father,
Son and Holy Ghost. It has been conjectured by Dr. David-son, Dr.
Martineau, by the Dean of Westminster, and by Prof. Harnack (to mention but a
few names of the many) that here the received text could not contain the
very words of Jesus - this was long before anyone except Dr. Burgon, who
kept the discovery to himself, had noticed the Eusebian form of the reading.
The Encyclopedia of
Religion and Ethics states:
The
facts are, in summary, that Eusebius quotes Matthew 28:19 twenty-one times,
either omitting everything between ‘nations’ and ‘teaching,’ or in the form
‘make disciples of all the nations in my name,
Smith’s Dictionary of the
Bible, Vol. I, page 352. :
The
anonymous author of De Rebaptismate in the third century so understood them,
and dwells at length on ‘the power of the name of Jesus invoked upon a man by
Baptism’.
In Origen’s works, as preserved in the Greek, the first part of the verse
is cited three times, but his citation always stops short at the words ‘the
nations’; and that in itself suggests that his text has been censored, and the
words which followed, ‘in my name’, struck out. – Conybeare
According to Dr. Thomas, in Revealed
Mystery Article XLIV:
There is but one
way for a believer of ‘the things concerning the Kingdom of God, and the name
of Jesus Christ’ to put Him on, or to be invested with His name, and that is,
by immersion into His name. Baptism is for this specific purpose."
"As for its significance, baptism is linked inseparably with the death of
Christ. It is the means of the believer’s identification with the Lord’s death.
- God’s Way, pg. 190. The Father did not die, nor the Holy Spirit.
As the scripture says, “buried with Him (Jesus) in baptism,” not with the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Romans 6:3-5)

the changing of the Great Commission from making disciples in

Yahushaic Covenant to making disciples of the Trinity, please refer to

Before I leave this section I
want to impress on everyone just how badly the Scriptures were mishandled and
passed down to us. A prime example (of far too many examples that I could give)
is found in the Gospel of John. Interestingly enough, the passage in question
has become one of the most famous stories about “Jesus”. We all know the story
well. It is where “Jesus” is confronted by the Scribes and Pharisees with a
woman caught in adultery. They lay a trap for “Jesus” (I say Jesus because this
event never happen in the life of Yahusha). They ask “Jesus” what they should
do with her. On the one hand, if “Jesus” says to let her go he will be accused
of violating the Law of Yahuah that demands she be stoned to death. On the other
hand, if “Jesus” says to stone her in accordance with the Law he will be
accused of violating his own teachings of love. In an amazing twist, “Jesus”
uses his whit, to get not only himself out of the trap, but save the life of
the woman. Quoting from the book “Misquoting Jesus” by Bart Ehrman renowned
Bible Scholar, Textual Critic, and Chairman of the Department of Religious
Studies at The University of North Carolina on pages 64:
“Despite the
brilliance of the story and the captivating qualities and its inherent
intrigue… there is one other enormous problem it (the story of the adulterous
woman) poses. As it turns out it has been proven by all scholars not to be in
the original Gospel of John. In fact it was not originally part of any of the
Gospels. It was added by later scribes.”
Yet this story was never
removed and remains in your Bible. Satan has twisted the scriptures and
elevated this story to one of the most popular “tales about Jesus”. It is used
to justify that “Jesus abolished the Law” and established a new “law” of love
outside of keeping the Commandments of Yahuah. As I stated there are many
examples of the New Testament being altered by pagan scribes to build false
doctrines into the text. I suggest the book Misquoting Jesus by
the textual critic Bart Ehrman. This book demonstrates that in almost every
“doctrinal” addition to the NT; words were added or deleted to establish the
doctrine of The Trinity, incarnation, and the abolishment of the Law. I will be
addressing these “additions” throughout this book.
Doesn’t Genesis 1:26 prove
that “God” is a trinity? It is right there in plain English; “Then God said,
"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness” ... case closed! God is a
plurality of “gods” combined into one divine “Godhead” consisting of the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost! Come on... are we blind? Can we not read
plain English? It says “us” and “ours” right there in black and white!
Not so fast! Are we sure that
is what Genesis really says, or are we victims of pagan scribes who altered the
text to promote their pagan Trinitarian gods?
Jeremiah 8:8
"'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of Yahuah,"
when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
Below is the text in
question:
Genesis
1
26 Then God
said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule
over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all
the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God
created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and
female he created them.
First let me point out the
obvious (or what should be obvious at least). Verse 26 is a contradiction of
verse 27 where all of the sudden “God” is singular “his own image, in the image
of God he created him” so which is it. Did “they” do it... or did “he” do it? Of
course, the Trinitarians ALWAYS sound bite only verse 26 as if verse 27 does
not exist.
Let “us” get to the bottom of
this contradiction (even though it is actually me doing it) and bring the Word
of Yahuah into agreement! You can see by what I just said, you can use the
plural tense even though it is a singular action. Just because I said “let us”
do this when actually it is me doing it, does not make me some type of
plurality of beings!
I don’t like contradictions
or ignorance and either does the Creator. I don’t like misleading altered
text... and either does the Creator. So let “us” do what “our” faithful (or not
so faithful) translators failed to do, and let “me” explain it (notice the
mixing of tenses); and tell the truth shall “we” or shall I say “I”... confused
yet! Exactly, that was the intent of the translators!
They intentionally added
confusion to the scriptures by mixing tenses and using passive voice (he, him,
his) not identifying the subject by name; and by using titles such as LORD and
Lord for both Yahuah and Yahusha. If they could make the text vague and
confusing, false doctrines could be created, taught, and mankind could be led
into idolatry. This is the state of our modern not so inspired translations!
Scripture is to be understood
IN CONTEXT, never sound bited and abused. So we are going to apply some
“context” to Genesis. We are going to do what I always do and:
·
Look at the original Hebrew
ourselves as the original reference
·
Put the verse back into context of
the text around it... Textual Context
·
Put the verse back into context of
the entire Word of Yahuah... Scriptural Context
The first thing we need to do
with Genesis 1:26 that reads “us” and “our”, is to simply go back and look at
the original Hebrew script. This is not difficult to do, simply employ your old
trusted Interlinear Bible! When we do that we will notice something very
interesting. The words “us” and “our” are nowhere to be found in Hebrew!
Above, is Genesis 1:26 in
English and the original Hebrew script. Under the English word that is actually
in Hebrew you see “Noun or Verb” under the only words that are in the Hebrew
text. So the only English words are “said, God, make, man, image, likeness”. Notice above there are only 6
words in Hebrew and 14 English words. So 8 words were added by the translators.
Now, I admit when going from Hebrew to English there is a need to add words, so
that is not the issue. The issue is, did they do the text justice and follow
the standard rules of translation? Or, did they deviate from the rules of
translation here in order to build in a flase pagan doctine? Let “us” find out
(pun intended).
First, we need to understand
what those “rules” that govern proper translation are! There are rules that
govern translation to ensure that the words we have to add in English are correct
and in context. As I stated before, context is what must be kept at all costs. We
must keep the Textual Context, Historical Context, Scriptual Context, and Spiritual
Context in order to properly understand in English was it said in Hebrew. In order to keep “Textual
Context” in translation, we look around the portion of scripture in question
for the last point in the text around it where “context” is clearly established.
Everything after that point is within THAT context until there is another point
of clear context change.
First let’s read Genesis 1:26
as it would read in Hebrew using just the 6 Hebrew words in the original text. Those
6 Hebrew words are:
way·yō·mer...
’ĕ·lō·hîm... na·‘ă·śeh... ’ā·ḏām... bə·ṣal·mê·nū...
kiḏ·mū·ṯê·nū and literally it reads “said Elohim make man
image likeness” when transliteraed into English. So we have to add some words
to make it make sense. To do that, we look for the last point of clear
context... The context set above is that of “Elohim”. So literally it should
have been properly translated as:
Elohim said “let Elohim
make man (in) Elohim’s image (and in the) likeness of Elohim”.
Elohim is in the Bible 2,598
times and 2,596 times it is translated “God” referring to Yahuah or “gods”
referring to the sons of Yahuah or messengers (Angles). Elohim can be singular
or plural depending on the context. We indicate the singular use with a capital
E and the plural use with a small e. So Yahuah is Elohim and His sons are
elohim in English. Or God and gods in the Hellenized sense of the words.
The only two times
Elohim is not translated as “God”... is in Genesis 1:26 where all of the sudden
Elohim is translated “us” and “our”!
This is a clear attempt by
the lying pen of the scribes (pagan translators) who believe in the Trinity to
write that doctrine into the text! So, when we put verse 26 back into context
of verse 27 we would get:
Genesis
1:26
Then Elohim
(this is the last point of clear context) said, "Let Elohim make man in
Elohim’s image, in Elohim’s likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the
sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over
all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So Elohim created man in his
own image, in the image of Elohim he created him; male and female he created
them.
That was easy, just putting
it in context of the text properly brings the Word of Yahuah into agreement
with no confusion and no contradiction and NO TRINITY! The singular use of
Elohim is established in verse 26 and then confirmed to be singular in verse 27
by the use of “his” and “he”... but let’s not stop there. Let’s continue to
expose these uninspired English translations for what they are... abominations
to Yahuah!
Just in case there is still any
doubt, let us seek out confirmation in scripture. Scripture interprets
scripture, so we can always overcome the “lying pen of the scribe” if we are
diligent to rightly divide the Word of Truth line upon line, precept upon
precept. Did “God” or a singular form of Elohim being the Most High Yahuah
alone create man in his image? If He did, and “us” and “our” is an intentional
mistranslation, then we should be able to confirm that is the proper reading of
Genesis 1:26 with other scriptures (not only the very next verse Genesis 1:27
which clearly says “he” did it in “his” image).
We see below this is, in
fact, the proper reading, we see Yahuah speaking in the first person SINGULAR:
Psalms
82:6
"I said,
'You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most High”
Again we have the same
reading, Yahuah indicating the He is singular “I said” and then says the same
thing Genesis 1:26 declares “you are elohim (the plural form); you are all sons
of THE (singular) MOST HIGH”. If “us” and “our” were the proper reading then we
would see “We said, you are all gods, sons of us MOST HIGH”.
We see below that it was
Yahuah alone who is the Creator. There is no “use” or “our”, there is no
Trinity, and there is no Bi-Entity. Yahusha didn’t do it nor was Yahusha
present or even created at that point.
Isaiah
42:5
This is what
Yahuah says— He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out
the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and
life to those who walk on it
Isaiah
45:5
I am Yahuah,
and there is no other; apart from me there is no God (no Trinity or Bi-entity).
7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster;
I, Yahuah, do all these things. 12 It is I who made the earth and created
mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their
starry hosts. 18 For this is what Yahuah says— He who created the heavens, He
(alone) is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not
create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— He says: "I am
Yahuah, and there is no other (God)."
Isaiah
44:6
“This is what
Yahuah says — Israel’s King (Yahusha had not yet been installed as Yahuah’s
proxy King) and Redeemer, Yahuah Almighty: I am the first and I am the last;
apart from me there is no God.
If “us” and “our” were
the proper translation, Genesis 1:27 would have read “so WE created man in OUR
own image, in the image of US WE created him”.
The translators twisted the
text in Genesis 1:26 to support their own pagan beliefs in a Trinitarian
“Godhead”. They ignored the clear context of “Elohim” which is the singular
form referring to the MOST HIGH, Yahuah Elohim. They added the words “us” and
“our” in error, ignoring the clear scriptural context that Yahuah alone created
man confirmed in the original Hebrew and in the very next verse. In doing so;
they were able to “build into the text” the pagan doctrine of the Trinity and
make Genesis contradict itself from one verse 26 to the very next verse 27
which clearly says He created man in His image! Confirmed in Psalms 82:6 that
says “I” singular created man in the image of “elohim” plural meaning gods in
the image of The Most High (singular).
The next misconception I want
to clear up is that Yahusha is THE KING over creation. Yahusha is not The King
over creation he is the King over the Kingdom of Yahuah which governs Yahuah’s
creation. Yahuah is King over His creation and Yahusha is the Proxy King
exercising power that is given to him by The Creator. There are two thrones,
The
Throne of Creation and the throne that rules over
the Kingdom of Yahuah.
Yahuah sits on
The Throne of Creation, Yahusha sits at Yahuah’s
right hand and Yahusha’s power/authority is given him by Yahuah as Yahuah’s proxy
King over the Kingdom of Yahuah:
Matthew 26:64
Yahusha said to him, “You have
said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right
hand of (the) Power (of Yahuah) and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
Ephesians 1:20
That Yahuah worked in Yahusha
when Yahuah raised Yahusha from the dead and seated Yahusha at His right hand
in the heavenly places (Kingdom of Yahuah),
Colossians 3:1
If then you have been raised with
Yahusha, seek the (Spiritual) things
that are above (in the Kingdom of Yahuah),
where Yahusha is, seated at the right hand of Yahuah.
Hebrews
8:1
Now the point in what we are
saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand
of The Throne of the Majesty (Throne of Creation)
in (the Kingdom of) heaven
Revelation
5:13
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth
and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To Him (Yahuah) who sits on the Throne (of Creation) and (also)
to the Lamb of Yahuah (sitting at the right hand
of that throne not on it) be praise and honor and glory and power,
forever and ever!”
When you put John Chapter 1
back into proper Hebraic context and we put that chapter back into agreement
with Yahuah’s explicit declarations that He is Creator and there was no one
with Him. We also see that Yahusha’s beginning was within his mother’s womb
like all other humans. We see that Yahusha did not take his place at the right
hand of Yahuah until after his resurrection. Divine emanation, pre-existence,
and incarnation are all false doctrines that rob the Glory that is due to Yahuah
alone.
One of the misconceptions
taught in the Christian Church to “prove” that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh,
and establish the pagan doctrines of The Trinity and Incarnation, is that Yahusha
accepted worship as a deity. Therefore, by implication (implied doctrine), he
was Yahuah in the flesh. We need to employ just a little bit of common sense
here.
The issue at hand, is “Glory”
which Yahuah declares that He alone is wise and to Him alone belongs “glory,
majesty, dominion, and power”
Jude 1:25
25 to Yahuah Our Savior, who
alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever.
Yahusha agreed:
Matthew 19:16-17
16 Behold, one came to him and
said, "Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal
life?" 17 He said to him, "Why do you call me good?
No one is good
but one, that is, Yahuah. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments
of Yahuah."
John 17:3
Now this is eternal life: that
they know you Yahuah, the only true God, and (are in covenant with) Yahusha the Messiah, whom you have sent
(as the mediator of that covenant).
Matthew 4:10
Yahusha said to him, "Away
from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship Yahuah your God, and serve Him
only.'"
Another misquoted passage of
scripture to promote the incarnation is found in Isaiah. The confusion comes in
because Yahuah, through inheritance gave dominion, power, and authority by
extension to Yahusha, His first born son (and proxy) after Yahusha’s
resurrection. The confusion is created by the fact that there are two thrones
as I have stated before:
Revelation 5:13
13
And I heard every creature
which is in heaven and on the earth, and under the earth and such as are in the
sea, and all that are in them, saying, “Blessing and honor and glory and power
be unto Him (Yahuah) that sitteth upon
the throne of Creation, and unto the Lamb (who sits
at Yahuah’s right hand on the throne of the Kingdom of Yahuah)
forever and ever!”
As Yahuah’s proxy and perfect
human image (reflection) of the Glory of Yahuah, Yahusha is called by titles. The
titles below have been used in justification of the Trinity, and incarnation. The
titles below must be understood IN CONTEXT of the entire Word of Yahuah to
understand them.
· The first title “Mighty God” is in
context referring to Yahusha as the “perfect human image of the invisible God”.
· The second title below “Father of
Everlasting” is not saying Yahusha is the Everlasting Father Yahuah. That title,
like Abraham who is called the “Father of Faith” meaning the forefather of
faith, is referring to the fact that Yahusha is the forerunner or forefather to
attain eternal life; he is the first born son.
Below is the scripture used
to justify that “Jesus is God in the flesh”. I have put in blue parenthesis the
scripture below in context:
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given, and the government shall be on his
shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, (the perfect image of) Mighty God, (fore) Father of Everlasting (life), and Prince of Peace.” There will be no end
to the increase of His government or of peace, on the Throne of David and over
His Kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
from then on and forevermore.
We see the clear difference
between Yahuah and Yahusha below:
Daniel 7
13
“I kept looking in the night
visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One (Yahusha)
like a Son of Man was coming, And He (Yahusha)
came up to the Ancient of Days (Yahuah, they are
not the same being) and was presented before Him.
14
“And to Him (Yahusha) was given (by
Yahuah as an inheritance) dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all
the peoples, nations and men of every language Might
serve
Him (not worship Yahusha, we serve Yahusha in the
Kingdom). His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not
pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.
In order to answer the
question; did Yahusha accept worship? We need to define the term glory. I will
admit there is a very fine line that we are treading. While it is YAHUAH alone
to whom Glory (worship) belongs... it is Yahusha who embodies the very
"image" of the invisible YAHUAH. Yahusha represents (in bodily form)
the INVISIBLE Elohim… Yahuah. Yahusha is both a reflection of Yahuah to us, and
Yahusha reflects Glory back from us back to Yahuah. The same role Lucifer
played and failed.
Glory as CREATOR belongs to YAHUAH
alone. The glory as King and Heir to all that YAHUAH created belongs to Yahusha
given to him by Yahuah as an inheritance. It is with that clear understanding that
we must approach Scripture. So I am very careful to whom I direct my WORSHIP
(Glory) as opposed to my praise (as the one who is worthy). There is only ONE
worthy of my worship.... and that is Yahuah. Yahusha is worthy of my highest
praise. Below is the definition of the word glory and how I apply it and to
whom:
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary
glory
Main
Entry: 1glo·ry
1
a : praise, honor, or distinction extended by common consent : RENOWN b :
worshipful praise, honor, and thanksgiving <giving glory to God>
2
a : something that secures praise or renown <the glory of a brilliant
career> b : a distinguished quality or asset
3
a (1) : great beauty and splendor : MAGNIFICENCE something marked by beauty or
resplendence <a perfect glory of a day> b : the splendor and beatific
happiness of heaven; broadly : ETERNITY
To #1 above, I give to YAHUAH alone.
To #2 above, I give you Yahusha alone.
To #3, above I give to both.
To whom
I give glory in
the form of worship is not the real question here. The real question is,
did Yahusha accept glory in the form of divine worship that belongs to Yahuah? Or
did Yahusha accept glory in the form of worship given to a superior man in rank
and position? We see below that Yahusha directed all glory in the form of
divine worship to Yahuah alone:
Mark 12:28-30
28 Then one of the scribes came,
and listened to all their discussion, and had noted how well He answered. So he
asked Him; what is the first commandment of all? 29 And Yahusha answered Him:
The first of all the commandments is: Hear, O Israyl, Yahuah is our Father. Yahuah
is one. 30 And you must love Yahuah your Father with all your heart and with
all your soul, and with all your might.
Matthew 4:10
Then Yahusha said to her; you get
away, Satan! For it is written: Yahuah your Father you must worship, and Him
only you must serve!
Matthew 23:9
And you must not pray to or
worship any man on earth as a "Father," for you have only One Father,
Who is in heaven.
Now concerning the rest of
the scriptures that appear to demonstrate that Yahusha was worshipped; I will
just lump them all together and give you the reason behind it. First, let me
say that we are commanded to worship in Spirit (to Yahuah) and in (the) Truth (Yahusha
is the truth and the way). So true worship of Yahuah is coming to Him by the
example of the true way. That is coming to Him through Yahusha by proxy.
John 4:24
24 Yahuah is spirit, and his
worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
John 14:6
6 Yahusha answered, “I am the way
and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through (in covenant with) me.
Next, I want to point out
that the word translated "worship" is a word used to describe
the
act of bowing down which, in many cases, is not the intent of
"worshipping Yahuah" or Divine Worship; but rather recognizing a
superior in rank or messenger of Yahuah. In the case of bowing down before a
messenger of Yahuah, those that bow are not worshipping the messenger. They are
bowing down recognizing the messenger "comes with the power and authority
of Yahuah" giving Yahuah glory through the messenger… this would be an
example of worshipping Yahuah in Spirit with the understanding that Yahusha is
the true way to Him. It is a fine line but Yahusha understood that line as I
will demonstrate.
Before I go any further, let
me say that bowing down to Yahusha (as the anointed proxy of Yahuah and
anointed King of Yahuah's Creation; the "Truth of Yahuah") is not
divine worship, it is respect. I have no problem with this type of “respectful
worship (bowing down to)”. As long as we keep the understanding of Yahusha's
superior position in the Kingdom, as well as, the power and authority of Yahuah
given to Yahusha as "The Truth and the Light” of Yahuah. I have no problem
with, and do not see that act as a violation of Yahuah's revealed will nor
proof that Yahusha is Yahuah, as long as the
Spiritual Intent of that
act is righteously directed toward Yahuah through Yahusha
the proxy.
Sha’ul does not say that
every knee shall bow to Yahusha; it is before Yahuah that every knee
shall bow in worship. Yahusha is the Judge not The Creator. We stand before Yahusha, we
hit our knees before Yahuah:
Romans 14:10-11
For
we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of the Messiah. 11 For it is written in Isaiah 45:23: “As
I live, says Yahuah, Every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess
to Yahuah.” 12
So then each of us shall
give account of himself to Yahuah.
Yahuah looks at the
"Spiritual Intent" not the physical act alone. One person could
"bow down" to Jesus in an act of Godly worship while another
can "bow down" to the Messiah Yahusha in an act of recognizing his
superior position and by proxy give worship to Yahuah. One would be justified,
the
other in idolatry.
However, a witness to those
two people both bowing down would not know the "intent" of their
heart and describe both using the same word in Hebrew and Greek/Latin. So those
words describe both physical acts of Divine Worship and reverence to authority.
Ok, among the many passages
of the New Testament that presents Yahusha as being the object of
"worship" is Matthew 14:33.
Matthew 14:33
33 Then they that were in the
ship came and worshipped (bowed down before)
him, saying, of a truth thou art the Son of God (they
bowed down to Yahusha in the sense of respect for his superior position as
son
of Yahuah. They did not worship him as Yahuah.)
Here we have a clear
situation - one of many recorded in the New Testament - of Yahusha being
"worshipped", yet those worshipping him did not worship him as Yahuah
but as the Son of Yahuah, which to them, actually meant that they
recognized him as Messiah or as an empowered, righteous agent of the Almighty
God. They were bowing down as an act of respect to authority before Yahusha and
as an act of worship to Yahuah through His proxy.
Although many think the term
"worship" is only applicable to "God", in fact the term
relates to showing reverence even to a fellow man. Christian teachers do not
make this distinction as they are false teachers and lead us astray to believe Yahusha
was worshipped. Then these false teachers take that sound bite out of context and
assume Jesus is God. In every case bowing down to Yahusha is in
the context of showing reverence to a higher authority.
As the Strong's Lexicon
points out, the Greek term is simply "used of homage shown to men and
beings of superior rank". The Greek word rendered “worship” in the NT
is the Greek word proskyneō.
Below, is the Strong’s entrance for
the word:
Lexicon :: Strong's G4352 – proskyneō
in the NT by kneeling or
prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance, whether in order to
express respect or to make supplication
In the 2nd Temple era when Yahusha
lived; kneeling or prostration to do homage (to one) or make obeisance (which
is translated as ‘worship’ in the NT), whether in order to express
respect or to make supplication was a common practice. It remains a common
practice even today in the Orient in Japanese, Chinese, Muslim, and other
cultures around the world.
The often referenced
instances of Yahusha being “worshipped” are another example of the desperation of
Christians to find any shred of proof for their unsubstantiated and false doctrines.
This is another example of the biased use of "implicit" proofs by
those promoting the mystery Babylon man-God or traditional Trinitarian
Christianity and counterfeit Messiah Jesus Christ. They IMPLY what is not
there.
The reference,
A
Dictionary of Biblical Languages With Semantic Domains: Hebrew (Old Testament),
by James Swanson, defines the Hebrew word often translated "worship"
as - "take a stance of bowing low in an act of respect or honor, but
not necessarily worship of deity" (Genesis 43:28).
The reference in Genesis
below is just such an example of the type of “worship” Yahusha accepted:
Genesis 43:28
And they answered, Thy servant
our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they (worshipped -
proskyneō)
bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
We know Joseph was a
"shadow" of the coming Suffering Servant and above he is
"worshipped" not in his own right but because he was "a servant
of his father" so they showed Jacob respect THROUGH Joseph. This is
exactly the case with the Messiah. He is a "servant of our Father"
and we give glory to Yahuah by showing Yahusha respect for his superior
position.
This term
"obeisance" is from the Hebrew equivalent of the Greek term used in
the verse from Matthew proskyneō shown above, as well as most
other New Testament verses where "worship" is the translation. The
proper translation should read “bowed down to” not “worshipped”. Again
we see the bias of uninspired Hellenized translators. Matthew, as many of you already
know, is now strongly assumed to have been initially written in Hebrew;
however, even if it wasn't, it was still written by a Hebrew from memory of
conversations in Hebrew.
From Strong's Lexicon we
determine the Hebrew term to mean:
Strong's Number 7812
shachah {shaw-khaw'} a primitive root; TWOT - 2360; v
AV
- worship 99, bow 31, bow down 18, obeisance 9, reverence 5, fall down 3,
themselves 2, stoop 1, crouch 1, misc 3; 172
to
bow down, prostrate oneself
before
a superior man in homage
before
God in worship
before
false gods
before
angels
Note: that the term can even refer to
"worship" of false gods! Of course, this is precisely the type of
worship practiced by Trinitarians (and all others) that promote the antichrist
(replacement Messiah) deception that “Jesus was Yahuah”.
That is blasphemy.
Obviously, the context of
Genesis is not referring to worship of Yahuah. It records Joseph's brothers
bowing before him i.e. "worshipping" him (obeisance) as someone of
much higher rank.
Are Trinitarians
prepared to claim that everyone in Scripture that was "worshipped" is
Yahuah (God)?
Since Joseph was
"worshipped" do they also claim he was Yahuah? Of course not. We
simply need to do a small amount of research into the meaning of the Greek and
Hebrew words that were translated as “worship” to realize there are two types
of “worship”. Worship directed to Yahuah and worship directed to Yahusha as a
superior in rank and authority as the son of Yahuah.
Did Yahusha claim he was
the
Great I AM? Did he claim he and Yahuah were one being? Christianity
would have us believe he did just that and the Jews tried him for blasphemy
because of it. They say Yahusha was found innocent of blasphemy
because he
was Yahuah so it wasn’t blasphemy. If Yahusha did in fact make those claims
then he would have been found guilty of blasphemy but they found him innocent!
Christianity teaches that
when asked by Pilot about these charges that Yahusha remained silent
implying
he was God. Yahusha did not reply to those charges because he had already
provided a defense to the Jews and knew he must die at the hands of his
brothers to save them. The truth is not that difficult to understand when
Scripture and the words of Yahusha are not taken out of context they were meant.
Yahusha did not claim to be Yahuah he claimed to be
the son of Yahuah. Yahusha
was simply declaring a fact that Yahuah proclaimed of all of us:
Psalm 82
6 I have said, Ye are (all) gods;
and all of you are children of the most High.
The Jews (in authority at
that time) were trying to arrest Yahusha for blasphemy. They claimed that by
saying he was “the son of God”, he was committing blasphemy. They were
implying
the same thing Christians imply today, that “son of God” means he was claiming
to be equal to Yahuah… Yahuah in the flesh. Yahusha wasn’t buying it, and
defended himself very well against these charges. He never defended them as
Christians imply, by saying he was Yahuah in the flesh!
Yahusha responded to their
claims of blasphemy below with my comments in blue parenthesis. We see that Yahusha
explained to the Jews who wanted to stone him for blasphemy that he used the
term “son of God” in the same sense that Yahuah claimed all children of
Israel were gods, the son of the Most High. So Yahusha asked them “how is it
blasphemy just because I refer to myself as the son of God when Yahuah said we
all are?”
John 10
29
My Father, who has given them to me,
is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30
I and the Father are
one (in mind, will, purpose, and spirit through
marriage covenant).”
31
Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone
him,
32
but Yahusha said to them,
“I have shown you many
good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?” 33
“We are not stoning you for any good work,”
they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
34
Yahusha answered them,
“Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are
“gods”’?
35
If he called them (the Israelites)
‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36
what about the one whom the Father set apart as his
very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I
said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37
Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father.
38
But if I do them, even though you do not believe
me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in (covenant with) me, and I in (covenant with) the Father.” 39
Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped
their grasp.
Yahusha’s defense was simple.
He was accepting what Yahuah had declared in Psalm 82 and quoted that scripture
back to the Jews. He wasn’t saying OR implying he was God incarnate or Yahuah
in the flesh, he was simply acknowledging a fact that pertains to ALL of us… Yahusha
realized at that point that the “trap” they had laid for him was falsely
accusing him of blasphemy by saying Yahusha implied he was Yahuah by using the
term son of God.
Yahusha explained that he was
not saying he was Yahuah. He was acknowledging the fact that, as Yahuah said,
he was a god and the son of Yahuah. The same thing said of King David, Solomon,
and many others in scripture. The same thing said of all those in
The
Yahushaic Covenant. The answer is no, Yahusha did not commit blasphemy
and no
Yahusha never said he
was God. Both the Jews and the Christians today are bearing false witness
against the Messiah. Yahusha explained exactly what he meant.
John 8
55 Though you do not know him, I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar
like you, but I do know him and keep his word.56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing
my day; he saw it and was glad."
57 "You are not yet fifty years old," the Jews
said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"
58 "I tell you the truth," Yahusha answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
59 At this, they picked
up stones to stone him, but Yahusha
hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
In the scene above, Yahusha
is telling the Jews that because they transgress the Law of Yahuah with their
human tradition and commandments of men (the Talmud), they are liars when they
say they know Yahuah. When Yahusha made the statement “before Abraham was
born, I AM”. He made that statment context of the Word of Yahuah and
the predestined plan of Yahuah (to send a human Messiah ‘written in the
stars’); Yahusha was simply saying “before Abraham was born, I am (prophesied to come and have pre-eminence among the sons of Yahuah
in the pre-ordained Plan of Yahuah).” Letting scripture interpret
scripture, we establish sound doctrine to overcome this sound bite.
Yahusha knew that Yahuah had
“preached the gospel” to Abraham by showing Abraham that the Messiah was
prophesied to come written in the heavens before Abraham was born. Therefore,
Yahusha said when asked how Abraham know Yahusha, he said “before Abraham was
(born), I am (preeminent in the Plan of Yahuah written in the stars)”. The
Jewish Rabbi Sha’ul made a significant statement in Galatians below:
Galatians 3:8
8
Scripture foresaw that Yahuah
would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in
advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”
What did Sha’ul mean when he said
Yahuah preached the gospel in advance to Abraham? We see Sha’ul then goes on to
point the Galatians back to Abraham making the point that “the seed” or The
Messiah was prophesied by the stars of heaven…
Galatians 3
5
So again I ask, does Yahuah
give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by
your believing what you heard? 6
So also Abraham “believed Yahuah, and it was
credited to him as righteousness.”
7
Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.
8
Scripture foresaw that Yahuah would
justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:
“All nations will be blessed through you.”
In what way did this happen? It
seems “the stars” were intimately involved in the event where Yahuah preached
the gospel to Abraham:
Genesis 15
5 And Yahuah brought Abraham
forth abroad, and said,
Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars (read
their message), if thou be able to number them: and he said
unto him, So shall thy seed be
Notice above, the reference is to
a singular “seed” that would come from Abraham, and that seed (or descendent)
is foretold in the message written in the stars. In short, Yahuah was
instructing Abraham to look toward the heaven, and discern from the stars! If
Abraham could “count the number of them”, which is to say, “the order of
them” (and discern the constellations therein), then Abraham would know of
the coming Messiah, which would be one of his descendants. That is the message
found in the Zodiac as I will demonstrate in this book. That is what Sha’ul was
explaining when he said “Yahuah announced the gospel in advance to Abraham”. In
fact, Sha’ul says that message went out to ALL MANKIND not just Abraham. Abraham
was the only one to have faith in that message and not fall for sun worship!
The Bible declares that creation
cries out His existence and gospel of the coming Messiah Yahshua. We must shed
the blinders of the “Church” in this one area concerning looking to the stars
for knowledge and “reading the stars” as a witness from Yahuah to man (not
fortune telling and astrology). Once these blinders are removed, we then begin
to see The Bible instructing us to do just that… “look up into the heavens” at
the message found in the Zodiac. When Sha’ul is talking about faith in the
message of The Messiah’s Gospel, Sha’ul declares that this message has been
before
the eyes of all humanity from the beginning. Sha’ul asks of humanity below
“did they not hear? Of course they did!” and he quotes David in Psalms. Hearing
and voice here are used anthropomorphically as physical to spiritual parallels.
Romans 10
17
Consequently,
faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word
about the Messiah. 18
But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they
did:
“Their voice has gone out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.” (Psalms 19:4)
The “message that is heard
through the word about the Messiah” Sha’ul says is… the Zodiac! After asking
the question “did they not hear” the message of The Gospel, Sha’ul literally
quotes from Psalms 19 which is a detailed account of the Zodiac
proclaiming The Gospel Message to all mankind:
Psalm 19
2
The heavens are
telling of the glory of Yahuah; And their expanse is declaring the work of
His hands. 2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals
knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard.
4 Their line (Zodiac means line or path of the sun)
has gone out through (and seen through) all the
earth, And their utterances to the end of the world.
In
them (the constellations) He has placed
a tent for the sun (the Zodiac), 5 Which is as
a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his
course. 6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the
other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Remember, the names of the stars
and the names of the “order of the stars” or constellations were given by
Yahuah Himself:
Psalms 147
4 He determines the number of the
stars (in each constellation) and calls
them (the constellations) each by name.
It must become obvious, as we go
back to the very foundation of the Universe, that Yahuah had a Plan and
disclosed that plan in “the heavens”, as The Messiah
was the lamb slain at
the foundation of the Universe written by the hand of Yahuah into the stars
at creation! This “Gospel” in the stars is the original Gospel, the Heavenly
Scroll the Earthly scrolls are based on! It is known in scripture as The
Mazzaroth (or Enoch Zodiac) pictured below.
This is what Yahusha was
referring to John 8:58 when he said “before Abraham was, I am.” For more
information on the message proclaimed in the heavens, please read my book

Cries Out! 2nd Edition – The Mazzaroth!

Yahusha knew he was given
preeminence
among all things in the plan of Yahuah, which was with Yahuah at creation. Therefore
he was “before Abraham”.
Sha’ul confirms this fact:
Colossians 1:15-20
15 He is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Yahuah all things were
created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Yahuah and
for Yahusha. 17 And Yahuah is before all things, and in Yahuah all things hold
together. 18 And Yahusha is the head of the body, the church. Yahusha is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything
Yahusha might be
preeminent. 19 For in Yahusha all the fullness of Yahuah’s Spirit was
pleased to dwell, 20 and through Yahusha, Yahuah would reconcile to himself all
things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross (Yahuah would reconcile creation in covenant with Yahusha).
Sha’ul is explaining what Yahusha
was stating… three facts:
1.)
he was prophesied to come before
Abraham was born, and had pre-eminence in the Plan of Yahuah.
2.)
Yahusha is before Abraham in the
resurrection, being the first born of all eternal creatures.
3.)
Yahusha has preeminence in the
Plan of Yahuah
As I stated early, Yahusha
accepted worship as the preeminent son of Yahuah and was before all men in the
Plan of Yahuah.
Below is the meaning of preeminence:
pre·em·i·nence
noun:
pre-eminence; plural noun: pre-eminences; noun: preeminence; plural noun:
preeminences
1.
the fact of surpassing all others; superiority.
So before Abraham was born, Yahusha
said “I am preeminent among the sons of Yahuah”. Yahusha’s use of the phrase “I
am” was no different than how you and I would use it today. If you ask me if I
am a son of Yahuah, I would reply “I am”. Would you stone me for blasphemy? I
am not claiming, in any way, to be Yahuah, nor saying that
I am The Great
I AM simply because I used the phrase “I am”. Neither was Yahusha. In
fact, Yahusha uses this phrase often, and never was he implying he was
the Great I AM in the process. Below we see Yahusha use the phrase I am and
what he meant:
1. Bread
- “I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger.” John 6:35
2. Light
- “I am the light of the world; he who fallows Me shall not walk in the
darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12
3. Gate
- “I am the gate; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go
in and out, and find pasture.” John 10:9

John 15:1
Given Yahusha’s use of the
term “I Am”, he would have said “I am the Great I AM” if
that is
what he intended to say. Again, to understand what Yahusha was saying in John
8:58, we must put this statement into context of Scripture. Christianity
takes John 8:58 out of context, combines it with John Chapter 1 (that is
mistranslated), to come up with the false teaching that ‘Yahusha claimed to
be Yahuah.’
In fact, those two verses do
combine to give us the truth of what Yahusha was saying. Yahusha was simply saying
that before Abraham was born, he was prophesied to come in the Plan of Yahuah,
and was preeminent in that plan. I have proven earlier in this book is exactly
what John 1 states:
John 1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the
plan
of Yahuah (written in the stars), and
the
plan was with Yahuah (and defined His purpose
in creation), and
the plan was Yahuah's. 2 The same
plan was
in the beginning with Yahuah. 3 All things were done according to the
plan
of Yahuah, and without the
plan of Yahuah nothing was done, that was
done. 4 In this plan
was (predestined)
life (through a human Messiah’s sacrifice),
and that life was the light (revelation)
to mankind. 5 Now that light (revealed plan to send
a human Messiah) shines in the darkness, but the darkness does not
take hold of it…
Again, in every
case where incarnation is taught it is taken out of context. Put back into
context that false doctrine crumbles. The Trinity and Incarnation doctrines are
literally built upon implied doctrine and the Christian scribes had to add
words to Scripture in order to even be able to “imply” such nonsense. If you
take out the words added to scripture to promote the “doctrine of the false
messiah” and put those verses back into context there is zero references to
incarnation and the Trinity. We have been lied to for 2000 years:
Jeremiah 8:8-9
“How
can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of Yahuah is with us’? But behold,
the
lying pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. 9 The wise men shall be
put to shame; they shall be dismayed and taken; behold,
they have rejected
the word of Yahuah, so what wisdom is in them?
In The
Yahushaic Covenant, all those who abide in this covenant are gods, the
sons of Yahuah, one with Yahuah through covenant of marriage, in whom all the
fullness of deity dwells. Not just Yahusha. These claims Yahusha made
are not claims that he is Yahuah; they are the right
of all sons of Yahuah
in The Yahushaic Covenant… for example:
“I am Rav Sha’ul, being dead to this body have been born again and have
been given the guarantee that I will be begotten as a god in the image of Yahuah,
and let the record show that... "I and my Father are one. I am god
and the fullness of deity dwells in me, and I am the son of Yahuah!"”
Have I just
committed blasphemy? I just declared exactly what Yahusha declared and I meant
every word of it. Does the Word of Yahuah give me, Rav Sha’ul, the authority to
make that same exact statement about myself? The very statements that
Trinitarians claim qualify Yahusha to be Yahuah in the flesh. If those
doctrines of the Christian Church are true, then I must be the incarnation of
God in the flesh as well!
I am about to
demonstrate that if we truly are sons of Yahuah, we would stand up and declare
with authority as Yahusha did. We would stand up and be counted and numbered
among the chosen sons of Yahuah. These declarations are not unique to Yahusha
and not “proof” that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh. Yahusha knew his
inheritance as a son and declared it with authority.
I am going to show
beyond a shadow of a doubt what Yahusha meant, why he said it, and that the
same authority he quoted for doing so applies to all those in covenant with Yahuah
through Yahusha.
·
I
will show my authority to declare myself one with Yahuah
·
I
will show my authority to declare myself a god
·
I
will show my authority to declare myself Yahuah's son
·
I
will show that Yahusha is my brother not my God
·
I
will show that Yahuah is Yahusha's God just like Yahuah is mine
·
I
will show that Yahusha was not born “Yahuah in the flesh” but the human “image”
of the invisible God, in fact Yahusha did not even know Yahuah when he was born
·
I
will show that Yahusha was not born perfect, but had to be perfected through
trials and tribulations just like every human being.
Every declaration Yahusha
himself declared of himself, I Rav Sha’ul declare my rights as well. Christianity
can wallow around in insignificance, Biblical ignorance, and worship a
non-existing "Trinity" not even mentioned in the Bible all they want.
But I am a true son, the brother of Yahusha, with all the same rights,
privileges, and authority given me as a son through the first born son of the
same family... There is no difference in essence between me and Yahusha
only calling, authority, and birthright. He is the Messiah and first born. I am
neither. But the differences pretty much end there as I will now prove.
Yahusha was saying
he was the son of Yahuah and ONE through family; in fact, through covenant... And
Yahusha asked the Jews why they had a problem with that statement when the
Torah makes the exact same declaration concerning ALL OF US! The Jews thought Yahusha
was saying he was Yahuah just like the Trinitarians teach and both are mistaken.
Yahusha said that is not at all what he was saying. He was simply stating a
fact, that Yahuah said we all are gods, SONS of the Most High and quoted Psalms
82:6 as his authority to make the statement that he was god. And then clarify
that he meant the son of Yahuah not Yahuah:
John 10:34-36
Yahusha
answered them, “Is it not written in your Law (Psalms
82:6), ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the
word of Yahuah came—and Scripture cannot be broken (you
cannot abolish The Old Testament)— 36 do you say of him whom the
Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I
said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
Yahusha made it
crystal clear, he was NOT saying that he is Yahuah; he is simply acknowledging
the fact as declared by Yahuah in Psalms 82:6 that we all are gods and sons of Yahuah.
He was accepting that truth (that he is the son of Yahuah) and declaring his
birthright. I too accept that same truth and birthright, I too am the son of Yahuah.
Yahusha marveled at the fact that the Jews didn't understand what he was
telling them. I too marvel at everyone around me for not accepting it either or
understanding what Yahusha was talking about. Especially since he went on and
spelled it out exactly what he meant. I marvel even more that Christians today
think Yahusha was saying he was Yahuah just like the Jews said back then. Christians
today do not accept his explanation any more than the Jews did then. So to the
"Christian/Jews" of today who still claim Yahusha was saying he was Yahuah
I say this... READ ON IN CONTEXT, PLEASE! Yahusha clarified that statement and
explained it. He said he was Yahuah’s son.
So back to my
declaration. I said I was god and that I am the son of Yahuah. I claim, as Yahusha
did, the authority of Psalms 82:6 that Yahuah gave me that authority to make
that claim and that it is true and I am righteous in the eyes of Yahuah for
standing up and being counted among His Chosen. But Psalm 82:6 only gives me
the authority to say "I am god, I am the son of Yahuah" it doesn't
give me the right to say I am ONE with Yahuah.
We are always
taught the verses where Yahusha and Yahuah are said to be one is proof of
incarnation. Trinitarians love to cherry pick scriptures that seem to make Yahusha
and Yahuah the "same exact being" quoting such scripture out of
context. They build doctrines born from "sound bites" not "sound
teaching". They quote such sound bites as:
John 10
30
I and my Father are one.
When taken out of
context that would seem to either mean "Yahuah is Yahusha" or Yahusha
is committing blasphemy! But, taken IN CONTEXT we see, that when accused of
blasphemy Yahusha went on to clearly tell us what that statement meant and he
was neither committing blasphemy nor was he saying he was Yahuah. He was saying
he was the son of Yahuah and they are one family through covenant. Trinitarians
conveniently stop with verse 30 to make their point and never do they venture
beyond that sound bite to where Yahusha clears this entire thing up.
Like I said, Psalm
82:6 only goes so far. So, allow me to claim the authority of the Messiah Yahusha
himself, who gave to me the authority to claim I am one with Yahuah:
John 17:19-21
"And
for their sakes I sanctify myself (through the
Truth of Scripture, the Torah and Prophets), that they also might be
sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also
which shall believe on me through their word;
That
they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in (covenant
with) me, and I in (covenant with) thee, that
they also may be one in (covenant with) us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent
me."
So there you have
it. As Yahusha sanctified himself through the Truth found in The Word, I also
have been sanctified by the Truth of the Word of Yahuah. I, being born again
into the family of Yahuah, by covenant of "marriage" the two shall
become one. Therefore Rav Sha’ul is a member in good standing in
The
Yahushaic Covenant and ONE with Yahusha through that Marriage Covenant
and together ONE with Yahuah. We are ONE in family, Spirit, Will, and purpose. Yahuah
is our Father, Yahusha is the first born son in that family, and I am a son in
that family as well being the younger brother of the eldest son.
Do I embody the
fullness of deity as Yahusha did? The next scripture that Trinitarians love to
quote out of context is how Yahusha embodies the fullness of God to somehow
make the quantum leap that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh. I would like to
point out; there is not one scripture in the entire Bible that says "Yahuah
came to earth in the flesh and became a man, by the name Jesus Christ".
No not one. Not even one that comes close. Every scripture Trinitarians point
to... says nothing of the sort, nor do these verses apply exclusively to Yahusha
but rather all the sons of Yahuah.
Below is the
scripture used to make the quantum leap that Yahusha was Yahuah in the flesh. Because
Yahusha embodied the fullness of deity, doesn't mean he is
Yahuah it
means he had been born again and filled with the Spirit of Yahuah to the
fullest measure. We even know this; in the Gospels where Yahusha was baptized
and the Spirit of Yahuah descended upon him (the dove was a physical to
spiritual metaphor).
Below
is the sound bite used by Christian Trinitarians:
Colossians 2:9
For
in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form (Yahusha was full of the Spirit of Yahuah).
Ok, let us now
tell the whole story here. Yes, Yahusha did embody the fullness of deity in
human form as he was the perfect human image of the invisible God. I am not
here to debate or deny that. What I am here to do is to show that in the same
exact way, we too have the potential to achieve the fullness of deity:
Ephesians 3:19
19
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled (in bodily form) to the measure of all the
fullness of God (which is the Spirit of Yahuah).
So, the same
writer in the NT that said Yahusha embodied the fullness of deity also said
that the unbelievable knowledge of the love of Yahuah is that WE TOO can be
filled with the full measure of deity. Now, I don't take anything out of
context so let me do what Trinitarians do not, and explain in context. I want
to be sure that I make my position clear on this. After resurrection, Yahusha
is completely deity (elohim) and in no way is he now human. Yahusha is the
literal son of Yahuah (a god) but he still is not Yahuah. Yahuah too is Elohim
(God). Elohim is a designation of "God" as opposed to human. Yahusha
and Yahuah are the personal names referring to the individual deities as family
members of Elohim, Father and now Son. But while on earth before resurrection Yahusha
was, as are we, "elohim potentials" and 100% human or “fully human in
every way” Hebrews 2:5-18. We are filled with the Spirit of Yahuah as a
guarantee that we will be begotten (resurrected) fully into the family of Yahuah
as elohim (gods).
Here is my point. The
verse in Colossians 2:9 is saying that (for the first time in history) a human
man has been perfected
Hebrews 5:8-9
8
though Yahusha was a Son, yet he learned obedience (to
Yahuah) by the things which he suffered. 9
And having been
perfected, Yahusha became the author (father)
of everlasting life (i.e. Everlasting Father
Isaiah 9:6) to all who obey Him (Yahuah),
and the total
fullness of the Spirit of Yahuah dwelt in his body. This is why all the sons of
God are "destined" to be conformed to the image of Yahusha. We too
are being filled with the Spirit of Yahuah striving to achieve that same exact
perfection as the Messiah by following his righteous example. Sha’ul clearly
points this very concept out in Ephesians on several occasions.
First, let's look
at chapter 1 verses 18-23. Sha’ul is praying that ALL SONS of Yahuah come to
know the same strength and power of Yahuah that existed in Yahusha. In verses
22 and 23 Sha’ul brings this important revelation out by clearly stating that
"we" (the sons of Yahuah) are the "body" of the Messiah. And
we, as this body, are the "fullness of Him (Yahuah) who fills
everything” i.e. the fullness of deity in bodily form:
Ephesians 1:18-23
18
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may
know the hope to which Yahuah has called you, the riches of Yahuah’s glorious
inheritance in His holy people, 19 and Yahuah’s incomparably great power for us
who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 Yahuah exerted
when He raised Yahusha from the dead and seated Yahusha at His right hand in
the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion,
and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one
to come. 22 And Yahuah placed all things under Yahusha’s feet and appointed him
to be head over everything for the assembly, 23 which (the assembly of believers) is Yahuah’s body (His Temple), (and the
assembly of believers are) the fullness of Yahuah who fills
everything in every way.
Now, again later
in Chapter 3, Sha’ul again prays that we (the sons of Yahuah) are conformed to
the same image of the Messiah and that we too achieve the "fullness of
Deity in bodily form"...
Ephesians 3:19
19
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the
measure of all the fullness of God.
Yahusha was not Yahuah
in the flesh, nor was he half man half god. He was the human messiah who was
the first to be filled to the fullness of the measure of Yahuah through His
Spirit. In doing so, Yahusha became the PERFECT IMAGE (not Yahuah, but the
"image" of Yahuah) in human form while on earth. All men are created
in the image of God, but Yahusha was the PERFECT human image of the INVISIBLE
God…
Colossians 1
13 Who (Yahuah)
hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath transposed us into the
kingdom of His dear (firstborn) Son (Yahusha):
14 In whom (Yahusha) we have redemption (to Yahuah) through his (Yahusha’s) blood (that
consummated the marriage covenant, we become ‘one with Yahuah’ as Yahusha was),
even the forgiveness of sins (the decrees in the
Law for transgressing Yahuah’s commands are covered by the blood of the lamb):
15 Who (Yahusha) is the (perfect human) image of the invisible God (the proxy of Yahuah), the firstborn (Feast of First Fruits) of every (eternal) creature.
Genesis 1:27
So Yahuah created mankind in his
own image, in the image of God he created them
We see below that Yahusha
considered it robbing Yahuah of His Glory to even imply that Yahusha was equal
to Yahuah. Yahusha could not even conceive of such a concept:
Philippians 2:5-6
5
Let this mind (Spirit of Holiness) be in
you, which was also in Messiah Yahusha: 6 who, being in the form (Spiritual Image or human proxy) of YAHUAH (NOT Yahuah Himself), thought it not (nothing short of) robbery to be equal with YAHUAH?
In the scripture
above it is stated as a rhetorical question as Yahusha thought equality with Yahuah
was nothing short of robbing Yahuah of His Glory. Here is another translation
of this same verse:
Philippians 2:5-6
New American Standard Bible
(NASB)
5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Messiah Yahusha, 6
who, although he existed in the form (image)
of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
We have to be very
careful with the Hellenized (paganized) mistranslated version of
our modern Bibles. Some translations read as follows:
Philippians 2:5-6
New King James Version (NKJV)
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Yahusha the Messiah, 6 who,
being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
The above
translation is a GROSS mistranslation of that verse. The glory of Yahusha is
that he “reflects the glory of Yahuah” as his proxy or “image” and, as an image
or reflection, the glory of Yahuah shines off of Yahusha on to us.
2 Corinthians 4:4
4
whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light
of the gospel of the glory of Messiah, who is the image of Yahuah, should shine
on them.
Yahusha fulfilled
the prophecy in Isaiah:
Isaiah 42:1
"Here
is my servant (proxy), whom I uphold, my
chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will
bring justice to the nations.
An
"image" is not the actual subject. It is a likeness of, a picture of,
something that stands in place of... Yahusha was Yahuah's human proxy, the
human image of Yahuah. He was the first to be perfected in Holiness (in
accordance to obedience to Yahuah's will). He is
THE TRUE WAY, the
example that we are to follow as we, too, keep Yahuah's will, commandments, and
appointed times/feasts/solemn assemblies. Yahuah gave us instructions on how to
be His sons. Yahusha lived those instructions, and we are to follow that
example. We too are to be filled with all the fullness of deity! But that
doesn't make us Yahuah or part of any pagan Trinity; it makes us
sons of Yahuah
our Father. I am going to demonstrate later in this chapter that the
witnesses of Yahuah which prove Yahusha was His son are: water, blood, and
spirit. I am going to prove these witnesses of Yahuah apply
to all His sons
as well.
So now I have
shown clear scripture saying I am god, I have the fullness of deity in my body,
I am the son of Yahuah, and I and my Father are one. But I was not born this
way. I had to come to the knowledge of Yahuah, be sanctified by His Word, die
to my fleshly body and be born again by the Spirit of Holiness.
What about Yahusha?
Was he born Yahuah in the flesh literally? Was Yahusha born perfect with no
need of perfecting and growth? Did Yahusha have a need to die to self-will, and
be reborn by the Spirit of Yahuah like me? In short, was there something unique
about Yahusha different than me? Some of you may be thinking, “What is so
important about this question? What difference does it make?” To those having
such thoughts, my response is that it is a very important question, the answer
of which has enormous implications!
Yahuah, the Living
God, is perfect. He is all-powerful. He has no need to "grow" in any
way, shape, or form! Therefore, if it can be shown that Yahusha the Messiah
BECAME perfect or grew in wisdom and knowledge of Yahuah, then he was obviously
not Yahuah but rather human like you and I!
Luke 2:40, 52
40
And the child (Yahusha) grew and became
strong in spirit, (and became) filled
with wisdom; and the grace (favor) of
God was upon Him. ... 52 And Yahusha increased in wisdom and (increased in) stature, and (increased) in
favor with Yahuah and men.
Yahusha GREW in
wisdom, strength, stature, etc., just like John the Baptist (see Luke 1:80). This
shows that Yahusha was not born "perfect" but BECAME perfected like
all other righteous men of Israel (yet Yahusha was the most Anointed One). Why
or rather "how" could Yahuah grow in wisdom and favor with Himself? I
know, ridiculous... And if Yahusha had to "become" better than the
angels and Yahuah was Yahusha then WHO WAS IN CHARGE when Yahuah was not better
than Angels? Better yet if Yahuah died on the cross WHO RAISED HIM. The
biblical definition of death is "ceasing to exist in any way".
Hebrews 1:4
4
having become so much better than the angels, as Yahusha has by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name than they.
The entire
doctrine of incarnation is a very slippery slope. Anyone who believes in it is
going to slide directly off the cliff. Yahusha, like I, was not born perfect
but had to be perfected over time and learn obedience to Yahuah! Trinitarians
who believe in the incarnation (which is the spirit of the antichrist) are
quick to take yet another sound bite out of context. They claim Yahusha emptied
himself of his deity, and came to earth as ‘Yahuah in the flesh’. This is
called implied doctrine, and not what this passage of scripture
clearly teaches us. Let me, again, overcome this sound bite, and teach it in
context of scripture (sound doctrine).
Philippians 2
5
Let this mind be in you (that Yahuah alone is the ONLY true God John 17:3)
which was also in Yahusha the Messiah,
6 who,
being in the form (human
image) of Yahuah (full of deity i.e.
being filled with Yahuah’s Spirit in full),
6
who,
although Yahusha existed in the (human)
form of Yahuah, did not regard equality with Yahuah a thing to be grasped (Yahusha thought it robbing Yahuah of His Glory, Yahusha said
the doctrine of incarnation is a concept he could not even contemplate or grasp),
7
but made himself of no
reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness
of men (according to the flesh i.e. born human
Romans 1:1-6).
8 And being found in appearance as
a man (not a god or demi-god), He humbled himself (before Yahuah) and became obedient (to the will of Yahuah)
to the point of death, even the death of the stake.
9
Therefore Yahuah also has
highly exalted Yahusha (they are not the same being
nor are they equal) and (Yahuah)
has given Yahusha (upon resurrection)
the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Yahusha every knee should bow (in respect to authority not divine worship), of
those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11
and that every tongue
should confess ((Strongs #3670, homologeo, enters
into a marriage covenant)) that Yahusha the Messiah is our King, to
the glory of Yahuah the Father (we bow in reverent
respect to Yahusha as King and through Yahusha glory i.e. worship is reflected
to Yahuah the only true God).
What is said here
is that Yahusha emptied himself of his selfish will (and position as King of
Israel by blood) and humbled himself before Yahuah’s will to become a servant. Yahusha
had to prove he was a righteous King by serving then dying for his kingdom. Trinitarians
are the first to point out how we are not perfect and must be perfected over a
life of trials and tribulations. We have to "learn obedience" by
doing our own will, seeing the futility in it, and then submitting our will to Yahuah's.
But what about Yahusha?
Surely
if he was “Yahuah who came down and took up a body and called Himself Yahusha”,
would have absolutely NO need of being perfected! Yahuah is perfect and
incapable of anything less than perfection. Surely Yahuah wouldn't have to
"learn obedience" because by definition obedience IS His Will. Total
nonsense!
So IF
Yahusha was actually Yahuah, as Trinitarians claim, there is no way he would
have to be perfected, or learn obedience, or even have a different will at all!
And certainly could not have died, be tempted by evil, or even been “seen”,
what part of invisible to we not understand!
Hebrews 5:8-9
8
though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience (to Yahuah)
by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the
author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him (Yahuah),
Yahusha actually
DID have to learn obedience to Yahuah. He was NOT perfect from birth, but had
to be perfected through suffering just like all men! And we know Yahusha's will
was not the same as Yahuah's, when he cried out to Yahuah to "take this
cross from me, but not MY WILL but YOURS be done".
We are so quick to
be reminded that we do not know Yahuah but have to come to know Him. That
process is called sanctification as we grow in wisdom, knowledge, and
understanding and perfected through trials and tribulations. Yet we are never
taught that Yahusha had the same need to grow in knowledge of Yahuah and in
wisdom, knowledge, and understanding and Yahusha too had to be perfected
through suffering trials and tribulations.
Yahusha
set the example of sanctification through a life on Earth and obedience to Yahuah’s
Will.
Yahusha is High
Priest, and all High Priests are chosen from among men to serve Yahuah on
behalf of mankind. The concept of the Trinity is blatantly denied below in
Hebrews, as Sha’ul explains Yahusha's role as High Priest. Demonstrating all
High Priests are chosen from among men by Yahuah. Then specifically states the
Yahusha was so chosen.
We see in Hebrews
5, that Yahusha was "born" or "began in the flesh", and
BECAME the son of Yahuah after a life of trials and temptations, whereby he was
perfected over time. He was not born perfect. Yahusha is compared to the first
High Priest Aaron (who was a man, appointed by Yahuah as His representative). Sha’ul
clearly states in verse 5 "so also Yahusha did not glorify himself",
but like Aaron was chosen among men by Yahuah. And in verse 7, we see
that Yahusha cried out to THE ONE GOD (denial of the Trinity), Yahuah
who was alone able to save him from death, because Yahuah
did not die,
and Yahusha did.
Demonstrating
clearly that Yahuah is our salvation ‘YASHA’:
Hebrews 5 - The Perfect High Priest
1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in
things pertaining to Yahuah, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for
sins; 2 he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he
himself also is beset with weakness; 3 and because of it he is obligated to
offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself. 4 And no one
takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by Yahuah, even
as Aaron was. 5 So also (like Aaron) Yahusha
did not glorify himself so as to become a high priest, but He (Yahuah) who said to Him (Yahusha)
"YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";
6 just as He says also in another passage,
"YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER
OF MELCHIZEDEK."
7 In the days of Yahusha’s flesh (when he was but human), He offered up both
prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to
the One (God, Yahuah, The Shema) able to save him from
death, and Yahusha was heard because of His piety (obedience
to the Law Zachariah Chapter 3). 8 Although He was a Son, Yahusha
learned obedience (to the ONE GOD) from
the things which He suffered. 9 And having been made perfect (Yahusha was not born perfect being simply a man),
Yahusha became (he was not always, he BECAME after
his submission and death on Passover) to all those who obey Yahuah
the source of eternal salvation, 10 being designated by Yahuah as a high priest
(from among men verse 1) according to
the order of Melchizedek (bloodline witness).
11 Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain,
since you
have become dull of hearing.
Yahusha was not
fully born into the family of Yahuah until after he was resurrected, just like
all sons of Yahuah! We see below, that Yahusha's full birth into the family of Yahuah
and divine spiritual body came after resurrection. Clearly stating (after
resurrection) Yahusha "has become" the first fruits into the family
of Yahuah. We clearly see in verse 21, that "BY MAN", not God, came
the first born from the resurrection at which time Yahusha became fully divine.
We also read that Yahusha is not unique in the process, but the first of many
more sons of Yahuah to come through resurrection in verse 22; each in our own
order. Yahusha being the first born son and our elder brother.
Yahusha
is NOT our God or part of a pagan Trinity.
1 Corinthians 15
20
But now the Messiah is risen from the dead, and has become (the firstborn son upon resurrection not birth to Mary/Joseph)
the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man (Adam) came death,
by Man (Yahusha the Second Adam too was simply a man)
also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in the
Messiah all (the sons of YAHUAH) shall
be made alive (begotten by YAHUAH as sons through
resurrection). 23 But each one (of the
sons of YAHUAH) in his own order (after Yahusha,
the eldest son): the Messiah the first fruits (first and only at this point of the sons to be resurrected),
afterward those who are the Messiah's at His coming (first resurrection when the rest of the sons will be begotten).
I am about to end
this section, with the clear and documented truth that Yahuah is not Yahusha.
Yahusha
is our brother not our "God". Yahuah is our God and Father not our
brother.
The simplicity and
obviousness of the truth is inescapable. It was not through "Yahusha"
that all things exist as the pagan "Logos" lie is taught, but through
Yahuah alone...
Hebrews 2:10-18 - NIV
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it
was fitting that Yahuah, for whom and through whom everything exists, (Yahuah) should make the pioneer of their
salvation (Yahusha) perfect through what
he suffered. 11 Both the one who makes people holy (Yahuah)
and those who are made holy (Yahusha and all his
brother/sisters)
are of the same family. So Yahusha is not
ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says, “I will declare your name (Yahuah)
to my brothers and sisters (Yahusha is not our God, he is our elder brother in the
family of Yahuah); in the assembly I will sing your praises.” 13 And
again, “I (Yahusha) will put my trust in
him (Yahuah).” And again he says, “Here
am I, and the (rest of the) children Yahuah has
given me (to rule over).” 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too
shared in their humanity (he was human too)
so that by his death (the
death of a man not God)
he might break the power of him who holds the power of death (defeat the Law of Sin and Death)—that is, the devil—
15 and free (all who now live by the Law of the
Spirit of Life) those who all their
lives were held in slavery by their fear of death (we were held in slavery to the death decrees not the Law).
16 For surely it is not angels Yahusha helps, but Abraham’s descendants (alone). 17 For this reason he (Yahusha) had to be made like them (he was made human just like I was),
fully
human in every way (doesn’t get any
clearer than that), in order that he might become a merciful and
faithful high priest (all High Priests are chosen
from among men… Hebrews 5:1) in service to Yahuah, and that he might
make atonement for the sins of the people. 18 Because he himself suffered when
he was tempted (proof he was not Yahuah, Yahuah
cannot be tempted by evil), he is
able to help those who are being tempted.
James 1:13
For Yahuah cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
That is the long
and short of it. There is absolutely no difference between Yahusha
pre-resurrection than there is you and I now. All the claims he made of being
one with Yahuah we too have the authority to claim. All the claims to be god,
we too have the authority to claim. We too are the sons of Yahuah. Everything
that Yahusha is now post resurrection, in terms of “being”, we
will be too
after we are resurrected. I will be a god, a King, a Priest, Righteous Judge
etc. Again the main difference is that Yahusha is the first born son, he is the
King of Kings, and High Priest. WE ARE OF THE SAME EXACT FAMILY!
The scripture
below speaks volumes, and should be the end of this discussion:
John 20:17
17
Yahusha said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to
My Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to
My
Father and your Father, and to
My God and your God.' "
Again, it just
doesn’t get any clearer than that.
In this chapter it
was my goal to introduce to us the human Messiah as foretold through the
prophets of Yahuah. The signatory to the New Covenant that bears his name:
The
Yahushaic Covenant. It is important that we understand Yahusha’s titles
and his claims as son of Yahuah because they apply to all of Yahuah’s sons.
In the next
chapter I am going to cover the covenant we are under that bears the name Yahusha.
I go into more detail concerning the witness that Yahuah gave all of His sons
that prove we are sons of Yahuah. All of the sons of Yahuah must be born human
through the water of their mother’s womb. We must be of a specific bloodline,
and we must, by the Spirit of Holiness, be begotten as sons of Yahuah. These
are the witnesses of water, blood, and spirit.
To all those who
enter into The Yahushaic Covenant we have been given the right to
become sons of Yahuah:
John 1:12
Yet to all who did receive Yahusha
as the Messiah, to those who believed in (the covenant
that bears) his name, he gave the right to become children of Yahuah.
That right gives us the authority to declare,
as Yahusha did, that we are gods, sons of Yahuah, one with Yahuah, and in each
of us all the fullness of deity dwells.
