Aspects of Yah

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.  

The Sweet Savour

The bible tells us that if we do things correctly, they have a sweet savour to Yah, Abel’s smole was acceptable, Cain’s was not.

Abel did what Yah’s TORAH instructed, Cain did it according to his own way, and it stank of the Serpent.   Adam chose to eat of the forbidden fruit (the woman was deceived into eating it).    Thus when Adam ‘fell’ the serpent fell with him and any works arising out of Adam’s forbidden knowledge stink of that snake, and is unacceptable to Yah.

This situation applies to everything that we do.    We constantly make choices; good ones and bad ones and indifferent ones.    We can choose to be a follower of the Way and get closer to Yah, or we can choose to follow a religion, priest rabbu or pasror.

If we choose religion we will be following the way of Adam, if we follow Yah’s way then we will need to humble ourselves and walk the Way as a servant and not as a son of the house.

At first,  servant has no part in decision making, he has to prove that he can do his master’s will not interpret his own version of it as Cain did.   Eleazor did this, and thus became part of Abraham’s household (a ‘son’).

We, all of us, need to be aware of whose Way we are following, Yah’s Way starts the moment we choose to leave the prodigal’s ‘pigsty’, we as individuals step out the door, we alone make that decision, we choose to approach the father as a servant, His Torah is our plumbob, our instrument to straighten our path.   As we keep His laws, His Statutes and His Judgements so we become changed into His likeness and we can be trusted with the tasks of Sonship.

We lose the stink of the serpent and become a sweet savour.

Torah: The Healing and Beneficial Message

Torah is not a dull and stultifying set of onerous rules and regulations as many religionists tend to preach it as, it is alive and well and can live in our hearts today.

Torah was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.

That is the message that the Apostles were sent out to tell the people of Israel, the message that the people have forgotten.

Yah spoke the words that produced Creation, and we live in that Creation, and we are subject to those words which we call ‘Torah’.

Torah defines a Way of life that is healing and beneficial because it is the essence of Yah’s Creation, and if we follow the Way of Torah then we can be engulfed by its benevolence, its protection and its healing power.

But if we choose other gods (including ourselves) knowledge of good and evil, and throw this substitute way (religion) in Yah’s face then we will bee tossed and turned and foundered in the raging sea that is life in Adam’s creation.

All through the scriptures we coma across facets of Yah’s character:-

The Name (shem) of Yah

The Face of Yah (If my people who are called by my name …. Seek my Face)

The Countenance of Yah (see the Aaronic blessing)

The Son of Yah (Torah made flesh)

And there are others.

If we turn away from Yah’s Torah then Yah cannot help us, if we ‘nail it to the cross’ then we are on our own.

So we must humble ourselves before Yah and seek His knowledge of Good and Evil, we look for it in the scripture in Tanack (OT) and we DO it,

Worshipping Jesus’ death on a Roman torture device (cross) is religion, what is more important is Yahushua’s Resurrection, where Torah made flesh broke through Adam’s death and demonstrated once and for all that Torah is the way to salvation.

Yah so loved the world that he gave His Torah made flesh, that whoever trusts and relies on it will have salvation, for Yah did not send His Torah into the world to condemn the world, but by it the world might be free.

Torah is sentient, it meets us as we travel His Way and engulfs us; it writes itself on our hearts and is the prime requirement for re-entry into the Kingdom of Yah.

Remember those Gates defended by Cherubim with swords?   They keep Adam out, but the followers of the way, engulfed in living Torah are allowed through.

If we reject Living Torah then we cannot enter, we remain as Adam.

Abel accepted Torah and his blood cried out, Cain ‘followed his own way’

Seth accepted Torah and was blessed

Enoch was immersed in Torah and was translated.

Noah was pure in his lineage.

Abraham kept Torah.

The Elders of the Children of Israel rejected living Torah at Mt. Horeb

Moses wrote the 5 books of law that provided clues, a sort of picture language,  to living Torah for those searching for the Kingdom of Yah as opposed to exploiting the kingdom of Adam.

If you want to avoid Yahushua turning around and saying “I know you not” then You must have a relationship with the living Torah.

Beginnings

In the beginning Yah spoke Creation into existence.   But John tells us that “in the beginning was the WORD (Logos) Christians assume that this is their Jesus but is that what these verses are saying?

In the Hebrew version of John 1 the Hebrew word used for ‘word’ is ‘debar’ and debar is what we call Torah (Torah in Hebrew is a signpost).

So is ‘Jesus’ Torah mad flesh and dwelling amongst us?   Or was torah ‘nailed to the cross?

Do Christians worship this character Jesus whilst abandoning the words (Torah) that spoke him into existence, are we worshipping the product not the producer?

We have to be very careful here, John is telling us something very profound, that it is the WORDS Yah spoke when He Created that are supremely important not the Jesus, the outcome of those words.

“Torah wept” implies a living ‘word’ a healing and beneficial text that sustains us (gospel) rather than the emotions of a charismatic man.

The idea that the words of Creation are the living foundation of life have escaped us because we have been taught to think of ‘Jesus’ rather than the will of Yahovah embedded within His spoken words that became flesh and dwelt amongst us.  Yahovah is ONE, not a trinity. Trinity is a pagan concept from Sumerian times (Nimrod, Astarte and Tammuz).

For Torah didn’t come into the world to condemn the world, but through it, the world might be free.

Adam became a god, knowing good from bad, Abel was humble before Yah and did as he was told, Cain knew better and did it his own way.   Most of us are Cains rather than Abels we follow not the Way of Yah but the way of religion.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen (Rom 1 v 25).

Heb 4:12  For the word (Torah) of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.   

Man shall not live by bread alone

So what do we live by as well as bread?   This passage is originally from Deuteronomy 8, and the chapter tells us that ‘physicality’ and ‘food deeds’ are not enough, and that everything that comes forth from the mouth of Yah is what is required, particularly the commandments.

Yah demands that we live according to His commandments, His judgements and His statutes.

He also demands that we follow His Way.

These are commands for us personally, not collectively.   One must have a personal relationship with Yah, sitting on a pew chanting communal hymns is not, keeping His commandments, when we deviate from His way, and turn everyone to his own way, we do ourselves no favours.

Yah can only protect us and give us abundant life if we humble ourselves and turn to His Way.  There is no room for religion, rituals and doing it our way.

It is hard to understand that Yah does not like church buildings and beit Kenessets (synagogues) these are the accoutrements that allow us to stray from His pathway to those of other gods,   we must seek what comes out of His mouth, the Creation that He spoke into existence, and the Way that he lays down in Tanack.

Everything else is deviation…

The Trivia

Where in the scriptures does it tell us to ‘go to church’ each Sunday morning?

The Greek word translated as ‘church’ is the word ‘ekklesia’ which basically means ‘assembly’ and is used in the book of James to describe the ‘tabernacle in the wilderness’ (Horeb).

There was no church building at Horeb, and there were no ‘churches’ in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, but there were ‘temples’ some devoted to Yah, others devoted to other gods.

Rome was full of buildings devoted to other gods, and when Constantine defined his ‘Universal Church’ it was these pagan temples that became the core of his new religion.

When Cain built his walled city, the wall was to keep Yah out, Cain refused to do things Yah’s way, he did it his ‘own way’ as pointed out in Isiah chapter 53.   Cain invented his own religion, presumable based upon the teachings of the serpent from the Garden of Eden.

Yah wants us to make a personal decision to trust and rely on Him (to ‘believe Gr; pisteo) and to keep His commandments and not invent our own as did Cain.

Religion usually implies a collective belief as ordained by religious leaders, but the apostle Paul talks about being a “follower of the Way”.   We must make our own decision to follow The Way, we, personally, leave the pigsty in all humility, willing to give up our princely status and become a servant/slave to Yah.

Do the ‘princes of the Church do this?. Do the ‘elevated’ ones (Rabbis) do this?

Or do the make up doctrine on the fly and expect us to obey or be cancelled…..

Soup

Yah’s Creation is like a ‘soup’ in which we are all immersed,   It is a nourishing soup that can turn us into His image.

We on the other hand can acceptit, we can reject it or we can remain (willingly) ignorant of it.

If we look out the window we see that we are surrounded by abundant life, even in the midst of desert or tundra.   The ignorant may look, but they do not ‘see’.   We can see a seed, dry and dead, but if we put that seed into a moist environment it will germinate, even after thousands of years.

We do not know how germination happens, it is a magic embedded in Yah’s Creation and which we mostly take for granted, but if it should ever fail, we would all starve.

We too are imbued with the same magic, a magic that allows us to interplay with the physical world around us, but what about the spiritual world from which the magic emanates.   If we ignore it we can live our lives according to our own ‘godship’ doing our deeds, both fair and foul in total equanimity until we hit the brick wall of Yah’s discipline, either man’s discipline or Yah’s discipline;  we are all going to be judged before the great white throne and our violations of Yah;s laws will not be forgiven,   Adam chose to use his own knowledge of good and bad, but in Yah’s creation, Adam’s good is bad and Adam’s bad may well be good.   Gods define good and bad, and when Adam uses his godship to define for himself what is good and what is bad, he excludes Yah.   We are born into Adam’s world. We are trained from our early years to do things Adam’s way.   From this we get no healing or benefit.

If we reject Yah’s creation we cannot participate in its benefits and we are subject to the tempestuousness of Adam’s godship.

Another option is to choose the serpent.

The serpent knows much more about Yah’s Creation than we do, and can thus manipulate it seemingly to our own benefit.

The serpent is a spiritual entity, a fallen angel who wishes to subdue mankind and become absolute ruler of Adam’s realm.  To do this, all he needs to do is to subvert and or remove Yah’s Torah from the daily lives of people.  

People who worship the serpent are not ignorant of Yah’s Way, they just prefer the instant gratification that comes from serving the serpent for this servant give instant access to the ‘magics’ of the earth and of darkness..

But there is a better way,

On day one of Creation, Yahovah said “let there be LIGHT.

The sun, moon and stars were created on day 4, so what is this LIGHT of day one?

It is the primeval light of Creation, and Yahushua said “I am the Way, the Truth and elsewhere “I am the LIGHT”.

Whereas Lucifer (the shiny one) in Isaiah (14) says “I am the DAWN LIGHT)”.

This day one LIGHT is not to be confused with the reflections of that light in the creations of day 4.

When Adam ate of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Bad, he bypassed the primeval light of Yah and chose the light of his own godship.

The Aaronic blessing tells us about the primeval light: and what it can do:-

Yah bless you and keep you Yah make his FACE to SHINE upon you and be gracious unto you, Yahovah lift up the LIGHT of his countenance upon you and give you grace”.

When Adam rejected ~Yah’s light and defined his own replica he had to be ejected from Eden, lit by Yah’s light; under Yah’s light his needs were provided for, but under Adam’s ‘light’ he had to exist as a consequence of his own labours.   Hence we have to relearn to trust and rely on Yah’s light and not Adam’s light that we were born into and inherited.   Yah’s light is available to all, but walking in Yah’s light is a personal choice and not subject to the religions of the Adamic environment.

We like Adamic collectives; we can sing songs and participate, but we cannot learn, and thus grow.   The moment we start seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness we will be kicked out of church or synagogue as no longer ‘productive’(no longer contributing money to the ‘system’.

The Rules of Yah

Apart from Torah there are some tasks we must complete before we become ‘eligible’ for ‘Salvation’

!. We must believe that ‘in the beginning Yah created….’

If we believe that we ‘evolved’ or arose out of a chemical chaos, then we have no foundation upon which Yah can build us into His image.

2. We must believe that the scriptures, particularly the ‘old testament’ (Tanack) as preserved in the ancient Hebrew are Yah’s instructions to us.

3. We must be prepared to set aside the works and traditions of men, whether popes or rabbis, no matter what their standing may be.

4. We must search for the true meaning of any scripture we find, this is a personal journey that cannot be avoided.

5. We must “seek first the Kingdom of Yah and His righteousness”, we start by implementing TORAH in our lives; doing things His way rather than our own way.

We must learn to flee ‘religion’ and ritual and to find a personal relationship with Yah.

6.  Yah’s world is not ‘physical’ it is a metaphysical realm controlled by Yah, alongside it is a metaphysical world controlled by “the powers of earth and of darkness”   Most of us are unaware of these powers and principalities working in and around us, mainly we draw from the powers of the earth, but if we leave the “pigsty” and start seeking first the Kingdom of Yah, he will be found of us and Torah will be written upon our hearts (instead of the wickedness of the earth and darkness.

We were born into Adam’s domain (the pigsty), we must seek to leave it and follow the path to Yah’s gates.

7 In the beginning Yah Created, not Adam or Satan, the universe is homocentric; built around the needs of man.   But when mankind tries to play god, all sorts of things go wrong    At the centre is the 10 commandments, abandon the ten commandments and you will suffer dire consequences.

8, There is nothing we can do that Yah cannot do better, it is hubris (vanity) to think that we can help God out.   We must be a servants (deacons) in all humility waiting upon Yah to teach us all things.

9. Believing in ‘Jesus; is not a short cut, not one Jot or Tittle of the ‘Law’ has been discarded or nailed to a cross, you will be judged against Torah, Yahushua has prepared the Way and made straight the Path (Torah/Debar) but it is up to each of us to follow it. To those who are lawless (Torahless) Yahushua will say ” I know you not!”

The Realm of Death

We hate death, and Yah did not intend us to be subject to death, and told Adam to avoid death by not eating of the tree of knowledge.

He did not directly tell the woman and we must assume here her knowledge of the subject came from Adam, but her understanding was imperfect so she was able to be deceived by the Serpent,

It is important to understand here the difference between the Woman’s guilt and the Man’s guilt.

Adam alone is responsible for bringing ‘Death’ into the world by eating the forbidden fruit; he alone was told by Yah not to do so.   The woman was deceived and was therefore not culpable, Adam was not deceived, he made a choice.

Adam was told of two deaths, the death of the dust of his body and the death of the Breath that Yah breathed into him, These two are separate but interrelated, The death of the body became inevitable but not immediate, The death of the spirit was immediate and damaged the ability of Adam to commune with Yah and hence have spiritual understanding of Yah.

We encounter the ‘Angel of Death’ in respect to Moses, first at the circumcision of his sons where the approach of the Angel of Death is confounded when Zipporah throws the child’s foreskin at Moses thus bringing him under the Brit (covenant).

Death is an intersection of physical death and spiritual death, the Brit (covenant) enshrouded Moses and the Angel of Death could not therefore bring about the final death (of both entities).

The second occurrence is on the night of the Passover where those who daubed their lintels with the blood of the paschal lamb (another covenant) were ignored by the Angel of Death.

Adam’s kingdom is a kingdom of death, Yah’s Kingdom is a kingdom of Life, covered by the blood of the lamb.

In the same way, Job was covered, and Satan had to seek Yah’s permission to attack him.

Death rules supreme in Adam’s world, but we can move away from it if we shelter under the blood of the lamb, or in our context under Yahushua. and thus be reborn from above. We are reborn in the spirit as such.    BUT, Yahushua may well have died on the upright pole (stauros), but he resurrected, death could not hold him.

Death is like an impenetrable jungle, but Yahushua cut a pathway through the jungle to LIFE!

Many acknowledge the death of Yahushua, but do they then follow the pathway he cut on His way to resurrection?

Yahushua is “torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us”, so if we reject Torah we will never find the pathway to our own resurrection hidden behind the doorway of the ‘cross’.

Torah was not ‘nailed to the cross’ it is our ‘dogma’ (unsubstantiated opinions) which must be left behind to be sacrificed alongside the lamb.

Naked

There is a part of us that we, in the age of enlightenment find very difficult, that of the spiritual.

We know very little about both life and death, but something in our consciousness keeps us aware of them.   Thinking about Yah often brings awareness to our minds, if we know Yah as our Creator and defender, then we can put aside the concerns and fears of Adam’s realm and start to explore Yah’s realm.

This putting aside of earthly fears and responsibilities are important, that is why when we pray, we should be alone in our own space.   Prayer is the way we imteract with Yah at a personal level. One to one.

If we bring our worldly fears into our prayer closet with us, we have a distraction.   We carry with us preconceived ideas which which can mask the truths that Yah would want us to enjoy to the full.

If I come into my prayer closet believing that I am descended from an ape, or that ‘God’ and ‘Allah’ are the same person, Yah cannot reveal Truth to me unless I am prepared to put these worldly beliefs in the trash.

If I throw Darwin or Mohammed in Yah’s face, he will ignore me and prayer goes unheard.   I need to be prepared to have deeply held beliefs overlaid by Yah’s truth, if I do not, then I am worshipping my own godship, and virtue signalling my religion to all and sundry.

Religion is the single biggest block to real spirituality; clinging to religion means that we are in bondage to Adam’s world.   The root of spirituality before Yah is in seeking to live our lives according to His commandments, statutes and opinions.

Many believe that ‘Torah’ was nailed to the Cross – the word Paul uses in the Greek ‘dogma’ means ‘opinion’, and should not be conflated with nomia  (law).   YYahushua tells us the not one smallest part of Yah’s law can change; Torah comprises the very words Yah used when he spoke Creation into existence, and we need to get on board with this.

We take into our prayer closet all the filthy rags of our earthly existence, but we need to be willing to have them peeled off and replaced by Yah’s pure clean garments.   If we cling to those filthy rags, Yah will abide by our free will, but we cannot walk the ‘Spiritual’ until we are prepared to come before Yah naked.

Our spiritual garment is mired by the blood and excrement of our failures, “who told you you were naked” Yah asks Adam.

Adam, using his newfound knowledge of ‘good’ and ‘bad’, clothed himself with the produce of the world, but before Yah he needed to be naked.
