The Spirit Of Faith
Time of Reckoning Has Come Who created the universe is a matter of knowledge. Why was it created is a matter of faith. God
is knowable through Torah and Mashiach. Navah Year 5989! Are we due for the arrival of the Messiah? According to the reckoning
of time of this ministry, this is year 5989 from Creation, which began at the sunset of the 9 of April 2024. May we merit
seeing the coming of our Mashiach speedily in our days!
A View On Who Is Yehovah -
The Eternal -
God of the Old Testament -
God of Israel.
It is popularly accepted that this ancient Hebrew name refers exclusively to God our Father in Heaven -
And that it was He -
Who had first appeared to Abraham and later to Moses and all the prophets of ancient Israel.
But is that what scripture reveals?
Before we explore God's Word to ascertain this truth, let us first consider the origin of His Holy name -
A name so sacred that it could not even be spoken out loud by the people of ancient Israel.
In the Hebrew scriptures it was represented by four letters called the "Tetragrammaton".
In it's earlier written form, Hebrew didn't contain vowels -
So this sacred name would be represented in English by the four letters - YHVH.
Since the vowels of the sacred name are not indicated and the name wasn't spoken out loud for centuries, the exact pronunciation
has been lost.
Many may debate over the true pronunciation of God's Holy Name.
Some, pronounce it Yahweh -
Others say Jehovah.
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible tells us Yehovah - pronounced {yeh-ho-vaw'} - is the correct Hebrew rendering.
The truth is -
That since the exact vowel points have been lost -
NO ONE KNOWS!
CONTROVERSY OVER USAGE
There is some controversy over the usage, or should I say lack of usage, of this sacred name.
Some contend that Hebrew words such as "Elohim" and "Adonai" as well as Greco/Romanized words like "Theos" and "Kyrios", that
have been translated into our English Bibles as "God" and "Lord", were just generic terms that should never have been substituted
for "Yehovah" - God's proper name.
Though the Tetragrammaton does not appear in the vast majority of the English translations in use today, most of these do
emphasize the word "LORD" or "GOD" (all letters capitalized), to indicate where the sacred name was originally used.
WHO IS YEHOVAH?
As the Gospel of John has established, the Godhead is composed of two Godly beings:
Theos - "The God" and "The Logos" - God's spokesman -
Yehovah is simply their surname - and applies to both these personages of the God Family - just as every member of any family
all have the same last name.
"For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named" (Ephesians 3:19)
Today mainstream churches teach that this sacred name only and always refers to God The Father -
But an unbiased study of God's Word reveals something to the contrary. In fact scripture reveals that far more often than
not, the sacred name is referring (not to the Father), but to His Spokesman - The Word - the second personage of the Godhead.
The Old Testament also corroborates John's Gospel account that two beings compose the Godhead - or God Family, which more
accurately describes them.
"...with the clouds of heaven there came ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN, and he came to the ANCIENT OF DAYS...and to him was given
dominion and glory and kingdom..." (Dan 7:13)
In Exodus one of these beings called Yehovah, "The God of Israel", spoke face to face with Moses and Moses did not die:
"Thus the Lord [Yehovah] used to speak to Moses face to face as man speaks to his friend." (Ex 33:11)
Later, 70 elders of Israel also saw Yehovah and did not die:
"Then Moses and Aaron...and 70 elders..saw the God of Israel...they beheld God, and ate and drank." (Ex 24:9-11)
So if Scripture tells us that Moses and the 70 elders of Israel spoke face to face with Yehovah as a man speaks to his friend
-
Who do the following scriptures apply to?
"Moses said, 'I pray thee, show me thy glory.' " (Ex 33:17)
And God (also Yehovah) answered him saying:
"...you cannot see my face; for man shall not see me and live."
"...I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by; then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but my
face shall not be seen." (Ex 33:20-23)
Obviously, Yehovah, the God being who had spoken face to face and even suppered with Moses and the 70 elders of Israel, can
not be this God being (also called Yehovah) that is now telling Moses that "he can not see His face and live."
Again it is clear that there are two Godly beings that share the name Yehovah.
Jesus also tells us many times in scripture that -
NO ONE has SEEN HIS FATHER, or even HEARD HIS VOICE:
"His voice you have never heard, his form you have not seen..." John 5:37
Again scripture verifies that the sacred name "Yehovah", refers to more than one being.
In this case, the being that functions in the capacity of fulfilling God's will through His spoken command of the Holy Spirit;
the Power by which and through which, the God Family accomplishes all its works.
So, since Jesus states emphatically that NO ONE had ever heard his Father's voice-
Who was speaking to Moses?
Obviously it was the second being of the Godhead, he who John identified as God's Spokesman, who talked with Moses on God's
behalf.
Isn't that exactly what a spokesmen's function is -
How much clearer could it be?
The following verses further substantiate this -
"No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the
bosom of the Father, HE HAS MADE HIM KNOWN." John 1:18
"Not that anyone has seen the Father, except him who is
from God; he has seen the Father." John 6:46
Christ's own words confirm that the Father never spoke directly to, nor was ever seen (other than his back) by any human being.
Only He - Jesus - the Word - God's Spokesman, has ever made God's will or presence known to mankind.
It was always He - that spoke to us on his Father's behalf -
And He who was known to the Israelites as the God of Abraham.
For as He told the Pharisees:
"Before Abraham was, I am." Jn 8:58
Here Jesus plainly states that He was the "I AM" -
The being that Moses and the seventy elders of Israel saw and spoke with.
The same being that brought Israel out of bondage -
"For they drank from the supernatural Rock which followed
them, and the Rock was Christ" (1Cor 10:4)
Was indeed He who released us all from the bondage of sin -
The second member of the God Family - "Yehovah" -
The God of Israel -
The Rock which followed them -
Our Fathers Spokesman -
Yehoshua -
Our Savior -
Jesus Christ!
