The two & three fold witness

Most of us know that Aluahym is One and not a trinity of persons but when it comes to the relationship of the Father and the Son, the Son is seen in different perspectives due to ignorance of scriptures. Some say he is a created being, some say he was a pre-incarnate Son begotten before the foundations of the world, some say he is a 2nd person of the Divine head etc. This study is an attempt to understand the Son in the correct perspective as scriptures reveal.
Ps 62:11 Once/acath H259 תאֶחָ Elohim has spoken/dabar דָּבַר H1696; twice/shanayam שְׁנַיִם H8147 I have heard/H8085 שָׁמַע shama this: that MIGHT/ H5797 עֹז auz belongs to Elohim;
This Psalm was written by Daud/Dawid and this Psalm is a description of Aluahym being our Rock, Salvation, defence and refuge. Speaking of the Might of Aluahym Daud says 'Once Aluahym has spoken; twice I have heard this that Might belongs to Aluahym. English translations are diluted and hence, I have listed the Abary words so that we can together view a closer picture here.
Heb 12:25 Take heed not to refuse the One speaking. For if those did not escape who refused the warning on earth, much less we who turn away from Him from heaven,
Heb 12:26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.”
Heb 12:27 And this, “Yet once more,” makes clear the removal of what is shaken – as having been made – so that the unshaken matters might remain.
Speaking about the 'One speaking' the emissary shows us that those who heard His voice that spoke on earth (at Mt. Sinai) did not escape, much less if we turn away from Him from heaven (referring to Mashiyach who came down from heaven). Heb 12:26 'whose voice' shows that the speaker was ONE, it was ONE VOICE that spoke.
That's why Psalms 62:11 prophetically states that Once Aluahym has spoken but twice I have heard this that MIGHT belongs to Aluahym. The Abary word for 'twice' is 'shanayam' and it actually means 'double/second' and has the root word ' shanay שָׁנִי H8144' which means 'crimson, scarlet'. The word ' auz עֹז H8147' means 'Might' but the same word H5756 also means 'to save by strengthening/gather by strengthening'
The scarlet thread/shanay of redemption runs as a shanayam/double or second witness as the Ruach in the letter which is like a second voice speaking/dabar from heaven confirming the things spoken on earth in the written dabar/word.
Job 33:14 For Ěl does speak once and/uau ba/in twofold/shanayam– though one does not notice it –
Job 33:15 in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on a bed,
Job 33:16 then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
These are the words of Elihu, son of BarakAL the Buzite of the clan of Ram and he was a righteous man and his righteousness is seen in him rebuking Ayob's three friends for misrepresenting Aluahym and also Ayob for declaring himself right rather than Aluahym.
Job 32:2 And the wrath of Elihu, son of Baraḵ’ĕl the Buzite, of the clan of Ram, burned against Iyoḇ. His wrath burned because he declared himself right rather than Elohim.
Job 32:3 And against his three friends his wrath burned, because they had found no answer, and pronounced Elohim wrong.
Ayob's 3 friends who mis-represented Aluahym to him (Ayob) were Eliphaz, Bildad and Tsophar for whom Yahuah asks Eliphaz along with his two friends to offer atonement for themselves for their wrong witness of him. Elihu was not included in this atonement.
Job 2:11 And three of the friends of Iyoḇ heard of all this evil that came on him, and each one came from his own place – Eliphaz the Tĕmanite, and Bildaḏ the Shuḥite, and Tsophar the Naʽamathite – and they met together to come to sympathise with him and to comfort him.
Job 42:7 And it came to be, after יהוה had spoken these words to Iyoḇ, that יהוה said to Eliphaz the Tĕmanite, “My wrath has burned against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as did My servant Iyoḇ.
Job 42:8 And now, take seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Iyoḇ, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves. And let My servant Iyoḇ pray for you – for I accept him – lest I punish you; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as did My servant Iyoḇ.”
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Tĕmanite and Bildaḏ the Shuḥite, Tsophar the Naʽamathite went and did as יהוה commanded them. And יהוה accepted the face of Iyoḇ.
Hence, Elihu was not among these 3 friends for whom atonement was called for and hence his words to Ayob in Job 33:14-16 hold credibility and match up with what the Psalmist Daud says in Psalms 62:11. Here are his words again....
Job 33:14 For Ěl does speak once and/uau ba/in twofold/shanayam– though one does not notice it –
Job 33:15 in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on a bed,
Job 33:16 then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
The word used for witness/testimony is ‘adah’ H5713 & ‘aduth’ H5715 and has the root words ‘’ad’’ which means ‘repeat witness’.
In Exodus 26:1 we see Moshe being told what the tabernacle should contain.
Ten curtains of twined (shazar) linen (shesh) and blue (thakaleth) and purple (argaman) and double dipped (shanay) crimson (thalath) with cherubims, the work of a skillful workman.
Both scarlet/shanay H8144 and crimson/thalath H8438 are red in color and show us the blood of Mashiyach concealed in Masha’s pattern.
Shanay: שָׁנִי H8144
Talath: תֹּלַעַת H8438
Shazar (Strong’s 7806): Shin Zayin Resh comes from the root word ‘shar’ which means ‘cord’ as in the ‘umblical cord’ H8270 שֹׁר shar (the umbilical cord (also figuratively as the centre of strength): - navel). The other root word in ‘shazar’ is ‘zar’ זֵר H2213 which means ‘crown’ ‘Shazar means ‘twine/woven as a twisted cord’ and shows us Yahusha the great king crowned coming from the womb (the child gets the nourishment from the umblical cord in the womb) in being under Turah.
Gal 4:4 But when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,
Gal 4:5 to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.
The deliverer is twined/woven in the ten curtains of white, blue, purple and double dipped crimson:
Ten is a complete number and represents ‘Completeness’.
Yahuah uses two words for crimson/scarlet and puts them together in Exodus 26:1 which English translates it as ‘double-dipped crimson’
In the Turah everywhere where Moshe was instructed to make the veil, curtains, qodesh garments for the priests Yahuah shows us these two words together. Here are few examples:
Ex 26:36 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and double dipped scarlet (thala H8438 shaniy H8144), and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
Ex 27:16 And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and double dipped scarlet (thala H8438 shaniy H8144), and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.
Ex 28:5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and double dipped scarlet (shaniy tala), and fine linen.
Ex 28:6 ¶ And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of double dipped scarlet (thala H8438 shaniy H8144), and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
Nu 19:6 And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and double dipped scarlet (thala H8438 shaniy H8144), and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
It’s also interesting to see the same word ‘thalath’ H8438 also means ‘worm’ and the worm again has a two fold significance. The scarlet thread was made of the red dye acquired from the ‘thalath/worm’ called the ‘Kermes vermilio’ a worm which breeds on the Kermes oak. The word Crimson comes from the word ‘Kermes’. This is a scarlet worm and the reason it was called that was because it had the ability to secrete a scarlet fluid which was used in making the scarlet dye that they used in ancient days. As a matter of fact, when you find the word "scarlet" in the bible, it's the same word. "Though your sins be as scarlet," it's the same word exactly.
Isa 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” says יהוה. “Though your sins are like scarlet/shanay H8144, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson/thala H8438, they shall be as wool.
This ‘kermes vermilio’ points to Mashiyach who hung on the tree with his blood stains indicating the redemption price he paid with his blood hidden in the scarlet thread which was made from this red dye.
Psa 22:6 But I am a worm/thala H8438, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
Psalms 22 is a Messianic Psalm which prophetically tells us about Mashiyach being that worm which hung on the tree.
The other significance of the same word ‘thala תֹּלַעַת H8438’ is whenever the pattern of Yahuah is not followed it breeds ‘WORMS/THALATH’
Ex 16:20 But they did not listen to Moshe, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms (thulayam)H8438 and became foul; and Moshe was angry with them.
De 28:39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms (thalat)H8438 shall eat them.
Isa 14:11 Your pomp and the noise of your harps have been brought down to Sheol; The maggot is spread out under you and worms (thulah) H8438 are your covering.
Acts 12:23 And immediately an angel of Yahuah struck him (Herod) because he did not give Aluahym the glory, and he was eaten by worms (thulayam)H8438 and gave up his soul.
Isa 66:24 Then they shall go forth and look on the corpses of the men who have transgressed against Me. For their worm (thulatham) H8438 shall not die and their fire shall not be quenched;
Shatan’s basarah is false and will breed worms which those occupied in it think it’s the true basarah of Mashiyach. YashaYahu 14:11 is a proverb for the king of Babylon who was under the influence of Shatan and Yahuah tells him …The maggot is spread out under you and worms are your covering.
Mashiyach promises us that he will give us the hidden manna (mem nun) and the manna he gives us doesn’t breed worms but those occupied with carnal ordinances without understanding the spiritual, their manna is breeding worms.
Yahuah wove the twine of a two fold/ shanay witness/adah in his dabar which reveals Mashiyach and the curtains of twined linen and blue, purple and DOUBLE/shanay crimson/thalath is just one of the examples.
The Turah came written on two tablets of the witness on stone.
Exo 31:18 And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Mosheh two/shanayam H8147 tablets of the Witness/aduth H5715, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
The Turah said in the mouth of every two or three witness every word shall be established.
Deu 19:15 “One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two/shanay H8147 witnesses/adyam H5707 or at the mouth of three/shalashah H7969 witnesses/adyam H5707 a matter is established.
Joh 8:17 “And in your Torah also, it has been written that the witness of two men is true.
Joh 8:18 “I am One who witnesses concerning Myself, and the Father who sent Me witnesses concerning Me.
Speaking about the witness he bore of himself and the witness Father gave concerning him Yahusha quoted Torah portion from Deut 19:15 which says …. at the mouth of two/shanay H8147 witnesses/adyam H5707 or at the mouth of three/shalashah H7969 witnesses/adyam H5707 a matter is established.
As we saw in Psalms 62:11 & Ayob 33:14-16 that Aluahym has spoken once and the two fold witness comes from from his dabar when He opens the ears of men and seals their instruction and hence, he has spoken once but we have heard him twice to see that Might/Strength belongs to him.
Job 33:14 For Ěl does speak once and/uau ba/in twofold/shanayam– though one does not notice it –
Job 33:15 in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on a bed,
Job 33:16 then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,
The third witness:
The Abary word for ‘three’ is shalashah :שְׁלֹשָׁה
The word Shalashah has the root words ‘shal’ H7945 often translated as ‘OF’ in the sense of something being drawn out of something else. Hence ‘shal’ means ‘draw out’ and ‘sha/shuah H7737’ means ‘lay equal/make plain/bring forth’
The Ruach that is hidden in the letter is drawn out in exposition of his dabar and made plain to give understanding.
The shanay/scarlet which is red in color and shalasha/drawn out to reveal speak/testify of Mashiyach. It’s the two fold witness embedded in Torah mixed with the Father’s witness brought forth to our understanding in the revelation of who He is .
Heb 4:1 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering into His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
Heb 4:2 For indeed the Good News was brought to us as well as to them, but the word which they heard did not profit them, not having been mixed with belief in those who heard it.
Joh 6:44 “No one is able to come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him. And I shall raise him up in the last day.
The two great lights shamash/sun which has root words ‘’sham’’ which means ‘’breath’’ and ‘’mash’’ which means ‘’draw out’’, yarach/moon which has root words yod/hand and ‘’rach’’ which means ‘’travel, two tablets of stone/aban which has the root words ‘’Ahb’’ which means ‘’father’’ & ‘’ban’’ which means ‘’son’’, the two cherubims/karub which has root word ‘’kar’’ which means ‘’dig’’, ‘’rab’’ which means ‘’Master’’, ‘’rub’’ which means ‘’abundance’’ (cherubs overshadowing the mercy seat), the blood on the shanay/two mazuzah/ posts which has the root words ‘’maz’’ which means ‘’burnt’’, ‘’zah’’ which means ‘’stand out’’, the sixth day gathering of manna of mashnah/double which has the root words ‘’mash’’ which means ‘’draw out’’, ‘’manah’’ which means ‘’portion’’, ‘’shanah’’ which means ‘’scarlet’’ & ‘’nah’’ which means ‘’mourn’’, the shanay/two kalyah/kidneys which has root words ‘’kal’’ which means ‘’whole’’ & ‘’yah’’ which is the short form for ‘’Yahuah’’, the shanay/two kabas/lambs of the first year offered on the altar daily, the word ‘’kabas’’ has the root word ‘’kab’’ which means ‘’star’’ & ‘’bash’’ which means ‘’shame’’ (Star put to shame on the stake), the shanay/two tur/turtledoves which also means ‘’border’’, the shanay/two ban/sons yunah/dove etc etc all testify of Mashiyach...He is concealed in the written letter, His witness brought to light through the preaching and understanding to our senses through the mixing of belief. We could go on and on to see in Masha’s pattern Mashiyach concealed and hidden and only when Alahym mixes it with belief can one see Mashiyach as the goal of the Turah or else he will be only occupied with the carnal letter.
The two testaments are made one and sealed with the blood of the testator i.e. Mashiyach. The Torah and the Prophets (again two) testify of Mashiyach. When Mashiyach was transfigured Masha and Alayahu appeared representing law and the prophets in a vision.
Mat 17:2 and He was transformed before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And see, Mosheh and Ěliyahu appeared to them, talking with Him.
Mat 17:9 And as they were coming down from the mountain, יהושע commanded them, saying, “Do not mention the vision to anyone until the Son of Aḏam is raised from the dead.”
Yahusha sent his disciples two by two
Luk 10:1 And after this the Master appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of Him into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
Mat 18:19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning any matter that they ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in the heavens.
Mat 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there I am in their midst.”
We read the Torah bore witness that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word will be established. The third witness is the seal of surety of the two fold witness in quickening us in a transformation. He showed what Torah spoke of the second & third witness is about himself in the two fold pattern.
Even the judgment pattern is two.
Mat 24:40 “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is left.
Mat 24:41 “Two shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left.
The stripping from three down to one reveals the sons of Alahym hidden in Mashiyach as the word for one is ‘’akhad’’ which has the root words ‘’akh’’ which means ‘’brother’’ , ‘’khad’’ which means ‘’unite’’ and also the letter dalet shows the doorway.
Heb 2:11 For both He who sets apart and those who are being set apart are all of One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Akhad-One/ ahk-brother, khad-unite
shanay-two/ shan-sharp, shanay-scarlet (red) &
shalash- three, shal-draw out, shah-make plain, shash-white
The Father (the third witness) & the Son (two fold witness in the pattern) akhad with Me (One).
Yahusha said he bore witness of himself, he also said the Father bore witness of him which shows he stood in the third witness, he stood in the second witness in the pattern concealed and he stood as the one witness being akhad/one with us in the realization of that witness.
1Jn 5:9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of Elohim is greater, because this is the witness of Elohim which He has witnessed concerning His Son.
The Spirit/Ruach is the third witness in the two elements water and blood which are elements of the womb in which is the ONE/akhad child getting the nourishment in the womb to grow.
The Ruach/Spirit came upon the womb of Miriam and conceived in her womb (water and blood) the man child who is to rule the nations with a rod of iron, the one who would be the cause of rise and fall of many in Yasharal. This is the witness Alahym gave of his Son that his Son came in the likeness of sinful flesh and condemned wrong measure/khat in the flesh and reconciled us to Alahym making us One/ Akhad.
Joh 14:23 יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We (Father & Son) shall come to him and make Our stay with him.
The carnal and spiritual went hand in hand when the Torah was given. In both Yah was there according to the time of life till he stripped down the veil into two, and became one with the spiritual pattern in us while the carnal he abandoned giving it to the vultures. The carcass from the one of the two who was taken away from the field was left to stink`. To sum it up the three fold witness is the surety of the covenant in which Yahusha dwelt but it strips down to the ONE to show that Yahuah is ONE/AKHAD and One/AKHAD with us.
Ecc 4:12 Although one might be overpowered, two withstand him. And a threefold/shalash H8027 cord/khut H2339 is not hastily broken.
The One overpowered can only withstand with the two fold witness from Yahuah’s Torah mixed with the Father’s witness i.e. the third which is not hastily broken because the breaking is only to show the realization. The Abary word for cord is ‘khut/khat’ which means ‘’cord/miss /measure’’ and is the same word translated in English as ‘’sin’’.
Sin is missing the mark. The word is used both positively and negatively. Here in Ecc 4:12 it’s used positively to show the threefold witness is not hastily broken but deliberately broken to have a full realization of who Alahym is. The mystery of Alahym revealed through the face of Mashiyach. Many are just stuck at three as a trinity and two as a binary persons in gad-head and that’s because they do not understand the mystery of Alahym and his realization in and through Mashiyach. They will never understand the mystery of Alahym.
The threefold cord is not hastily broken, this can be seen when Shadrach, Mesach & Abednego were in the furnace of fire one like the Son of Alahym was in the midst of them.
Dan 3:23 And these three men, Shaḏraḵ, Mĕyshaḵ, and Aḇĕḏ-Neḡo, fell down bound into the midst of the burning furnace of fire.
Dan 3:24 Then Sovereign Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar was amazed, and stood up in haste and spoke and said to his counsellors, “Did we not throw three men bound into the midst of the fire?” They answered and said to the sovereign, “Certainly, O sovereign.”
Dan 3:25 He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire. And they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elah.”
The fourth one was the ONE like the Son of Alahym who stood as the brother in the doorway not allowing the three fold cord to be broken.
Dan 3:27 And the viceroys, the nobles, and the governors, and the sovereign’s counsellors gathered together, seeing these men on whose bodies the fire had no power, and the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments changed, nor did the smell of fire passed on them.
Matt 12:20 A battered reed He shall not break off, and a smoldering/kahah H3543 wick/pashatah H6593 He shall not put out, until He leads justice to victory.
The Abary word ‘kahah’ means ‘dim/dark/faint’ and the word ‘pashatah’ means a plant whose fibers are separated and spread out then made into linen and wicks for lamps. Matthew quotes from YashaYahu 42:3
When a candle is put out there is dimness in the wick of the candle and when that it put off the smoke and smell of fire comes off it but here it’s prophesied of Yahusha that he will not even put out the dim wick until he leads justice to victory. The fire was not put out in the furnace but there was no smell of fire from their garments or off them because the wrath was endured by the Son of Alahym. What an amazing connection.
Dan 3:27 And the viceroys, the nobles, and the governors, and the sovereign’s counsellors gathered together, seeing these men on whose bodies the fire had no power, and the hair of their head was not singed nor were their garments changed, nor did the smell of fire passed/adah H5709 on them.
The Abary word translated as ‘passed’ H5709 adah which is the same spelling as H5713 which means ‘witness/testimony’. The burning bush site also shows the bush burning but there was no trace of the fire burning it or the smell of fire off it.
Exo 3:2 And the Messenger of יהוה appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. And he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
Shaul told the Corinthian assembly after rebuking them for their carnality that he would be coming to them for the third time. The word for ‘time’ is ‘’at’’- ayin tau (see the stake).
Shaul quotes Torah portion telling them in the mouth of two or three witness all/kal dabar will be established.
2Co 13:1 This is the third/shalayshayath time/atah I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two/shanayam or three/shalashah witnesses/adayam every/kal word/dabar shall be established.
Shaul taught not to receive an accusation against an elder but before two or three witnesses.
1Tim5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Heb 10:28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses.
Heb 10:29 How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favour?
Isn’t it clear why the ones who disregarded the Torah of Masha died without mercy on the witness of two or three witnesses, of how much severe punishment would one get who has rejected the two fold witness of Mashiyach in the Torah, three fold witness of the Father in a realization of oneness/akhad. ZacharYah saw the two olive branches giving the golden oil to the lampstand emptying the oil itself thus keeping the lampstand burning. The Torah and the prophets witness of Mashiyach i.e the two fold witness gives that golden oil giving his elect sustenance in adversity.
Mat 26:60 but found none. Although many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward,
Mat 26:61 and said, “This one said, ‘I am able to destroy the Dwelling Place of Elohim and to build it in three days.’ ”
Two false witnesses put the Son of Alahym to death by a false carnal witness because they could never understand who the temple/dwelling place of Alahym was whom Mashiyach said to destroy and he would build it in three days.
