Alahim's Sojourning

In the so called Messiahian world within or outside of denominations people have different understanding of who Alahim is. Alahim called as a Person, a set of Persons, Spirit and yet a Person, a force etc and we have a divided Messiahendom as Trinitarians, Unitarians, Oneness, Jehovah's witnesses etc.
Why are there so many versions of Alahim? That's because carnal man doesn't understand the constitution of Alahim which Alahim has revealed and is blinded. He reads his denominational bias into scripture thus making a god of their own making.

Ro 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his ETERNAL POWER and DIVINITY; so that they are without excuse: 
 21 Because that, when they knew Alahim, they glorified him not as Alahim, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

How are the invisible things of Alahim from the creation of the world clearly seen? Firstly Paul defines what those invisible things are : ETERNAL POWER AND DIVINITY.

Let's see each of these INVISIBLE THINGS from the creation of the world in the light of what is NOW REVEALED and then let's go back to understand where it all began.

Messiah is the POWER OF GOD.

1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and the wisdom of Alahim.

Heb 1:3 Who(CHRIST) being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Ro 1:4 And declared to be the Son of Alahim with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead

Messiah is GOD'S DIVINITY BODILY

 Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the DIVINITY BODILY.

Col 1:19 For it pleased that in him should all fulness dwell;

He is both the MINISTER & THE TRUE TABERNACLE whom the Yahuah pitched

Heb 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Yahuah pitched, and not man.

Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

There are 2 Greek words used which mean the same and translated as DIVINITY

In Rom 1:20 theiotes & Col 2:9 theotes

What's interesting to see is Col 2:9 which says theotes (Divinity) somatikos (physically)

'Somatikos' comes from the root word 'soma' which means body

Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he (Messiah) cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body (SOMA)  hast thou prepared me:

In my previous study 'Sojourning with Alahim' I gave a short description of Alahim's Sojourning from transcendence into immanence and his rest on the 7th day in Genesis shows his frame work of his salvation plan for mankind where both Alahim and his elect enter into rest when our salvation is complete and Alahim resting on the 7th day shows us that the works were finished from the foundation of the world and is 'Paradox' language used in scripture because Alahim has been working and will continue to do so till our salvation is complete.
The Sojourning of Alahim began when Alahim uttered " Let there be light..." Gen 1:3 and will end with the rest when what he promised would be fulfilled.

2Co 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of Alahim with idols? for ye are the temple of the living Alahim; as Alahim hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Alahim, and they shall be my people.

Messiah is the true tabernacle of Alahim and we who believe in him are partakers of Messiah. The OT tabernacle of Moses which moved from one place to another along with Israel's sojourning was a shadow of the true tabernacle i.e. Messiah himself

 Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Messiah, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

 Heb 9:11 But Messiah being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Re 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Alahim is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and Alahim himself shall be with them, and be their Alahim.

Feast of Tabernacles:

Le 23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the YAHUAH seven dayson the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
 40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the YAHUAH your Alahim seven days.
 41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the YAHUAH seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
 42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
 43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the YAHUAH your Alahim.

Notice that the feast of tabernacles was to be observed for 7 days and the first day would be a Sabbath and the 8th day will be a Sabbath which shows that the works were finished from the foundation of the world

 Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world

The first day Sabbath symbolizes Alahim's rest in his PLANNING before he created anything

 1Pe 1:20 Who (Messiah) verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

The eighth day Sabbath symbolizes Alahim's rest in accomplishment of that plan.

Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Alahim.

Within this first day Sabbath and the eighth day Sabbath are the 7 days which shows the Sojourning of both Alahim and his people.

The first day when Alahim said " Let there be light and there was light" Gen 1:3 and this light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim was to be manifested through the face of Messiah (2 Corin 4:6).
Thus Alahim began his sojourning from invisibility to visibility, from silence to expression, from intangibleness to being tangible.

 Re 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Alahim and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

The throne of Alahim and of the Lamb is the same ONE THRONE

Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O Alahim, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

1Ti 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Yahuah of lords;

POTENTATE means RULER and Paul here says Messiah is the ONLY RULER.

Within the frame work of Alahim from first day to the 7th day is the SERPENT IN EDEN (Kingdom of Alahim) deceiving with his 7 beastly kingdoms and the 8th is of the 7 which promises a false rest to the so called Messiahian world which has got a different version of Alahim. Satan's  imitates the 1st day Rest in planning within himself Mystery Babylon and the 8th day Sabbatical rest of Alahim making it a fulfillment for those who fall a prey to him and hence is the MYSTERY BABYLON the mother of all harlots.

Ezekiel 28:13-14 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Alahim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. [14] Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so : thou wast upon the holy mountain of Alahim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

He was in Eden planning within himself rebellion against Alahim being the anointed cherub who walked up and down being once part of the mediation plan as all angels were ascending and descending the ladder.He planned Mystery Babylon in Eden and fulfills it by giving a false rest through the 8th beast

Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

 Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is

The beast that was, and is not and yet is Mystery Babylon who was always working in the back ground (a spiritual kingdom) sowing tares among Alahim's work of sowing wheat and Alahim allowed that so that all those who do not see and understand who he is would be condemned to damnation.
There are many clinging to Alahim only to get a shock on the day when the mystery of Alahim will be finished and they would realize that they were deceived by the 8th beast's imitation of Alahim's 8th day sabbatical rest.
The followers of the 7 beasts of Satan were never sojourners because they missed the Sojourning of Alahim (revelation of who Alahim is and his proceeding from transcendence to immanence) and hence missed everything by a great margin.

Heb 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

 Heb 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
1Co 10:8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed,and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.



The imitators of sojourners with Alahim came out of Egypt only to be killed in the wilderness because they chose not to dwell in tents with Alahim. They lusted after the things of Egypt rather than choosing to be bear the reproach of Messiah.

Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,how that the Yahuah, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not

 9 Neither let us tempt Messiah, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

Heb 13:12 Wherefore Yahusha also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
 13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
 14 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Lastly there will be no REST for those who are part of Mystery Babylon.

Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name
