There are three aspects of Yahovah which He presents to us and from which we may learn to respond to Him, the first is His Word, which is the gist of the words with which he spoke His Creation into existence, and which includes the entity that Christians worship as their Jesus.

The second aspect is his Shem. This Hebrew word is translated as ’name’ but its meaning is much, much deeper and expresses the whole Character of Yah, most people get stuck at this point because they cannot get away from using ‘religious’ words such as God, G-d or Hashem.   If you cannot call Yahovah by his correct name, how can you even begin to understand the enormity of His Shem.

The third aspect Yah presents to us is His Face.   Light (the light of Creation) shines out from His Face and as it falls on us, we are changed to His likeness, thus if we are to be the light of the world then we must allow the light of His countenance to shine upon us as in the Aaronic blessing, but we have to “seek His Face and turn from our wicked ways”, it is not something attained by birthright of being descended from Abraham.

We tend to start by taking note of His Word, Paul tells us that it is good for correction and teaching but we have to take all the word not just ‘cherry pick’ at it.   Yes, His word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, but in many ways that is a distraction and can be used to distort (twist) our understanding.   Yah’s Words are the Words of His Creation, and they became human not to die for our sins, but to go through Adam’s death and provide a Way for salvation for us too.   Of all the things in the world, death is the one thing that did not come from Yah, it came from Adam and it permanently separates us from Yah.   The Word made flesh was murdered on a Roman torture device, He went through death, but the ‘cross’ is unimportant, it was the resurrection that is key to our salvation and nothing else.    

Many follow the myth of ‘Jesus’, but this is a truncated story conjured up by politicians in the centuries that followed the events.   The reality of the ‘Trinity’ is Word, Shem and Face.
