Yet He chose to make thick darkness his canopy
2Sa 22:12 “And He put darkness around Him as booths, Darkness of waters, thick clouds.
That’s why we see darkness covered the deep and the earth was formless and void because of the absence of Light
Gen 1:2 And the earth came to be formless and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim was moving on the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3 And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and light came to be.
Joh 1:4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
The emissary Shaul tells us how this Light came to be
2Co 4:6 For Elohim, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts for the enlightening of the knowledge of the esteem of Elohim in the face of יהושע Messiah.
Yahuah dwells in an unapproachable Light, whom no one has seen or can see. When it says no one it includes all angels mighty in power as well.
1Ti 6:15 which in His own seasons He shall reveal – the blessed and only Ruler, the Sovereign of sovereigns and Master of masters,
1Ti 6:16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or is able to see, to whom be respect and everlasting might. Aměn.
Does the Father have a face?
Mat 18:10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in the heavens their messengers always see the face of My Father who is in the heavens.
This needs to be seen and understood in its context. Yahusha says that the LITTLE ONES shouldn't be despised. These little ones are those who are to inherit salvation and the angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to them who are heirs of salvation.
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
1Pe1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Ruach Ha Qodesh (Holy Spirit) sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
The angels when ministering to the heirs of salvation desire to look at the work of Alahym in the heirs of salvation. In ministering to them they behold the face of their Father in heaven (get a revelation of who Alahym is).
Eph 3:8 To me, who am less than the least of all qodesh ones, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Mashiyach,
Eph 3:9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in Alahym who created all things by Yahusha ha Mashiyach
Eph 3:10 so that the manifold wisdom of Alahym might now be made known through the assembly to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places
Eph 3:11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Mashiyach Yahusha our Adonay,
The manifold wisdom of Alahym which was hidden in Alahym for all ages where all things He created by Yahusha ha Mashiyach would now be made known THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY to the rulers and authorites in the heavenly places (angelic powers through the earthly council as apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers etc ruling Yahuah’s assembly ).
Yahusha told Philip that if He has seen Him, he has seen the Father. Hence, the Father’s face is the revelation of who Yahusha is as the Light of the knowledge of Aluahym would be seen through the face of Yahusha ha Mashiyach (2Corn 4:6)
When did the angels see their Yahuah?
1Ti 3:16 And, beyond all question, the secret of reverence is great – who was revealed in the flesh, declared right in Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in esteem.
Heb 1:6 And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the angels of Elohim worship Him.”
There was a declaration with a context of the world to come of which the emissary is speaking of
Heb 2:5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, concerning which we speak.
The declaration wouldn’t have been needed if angels had seen Yahuah.
Joh 1:18 No one has ever seen Elohim at any time. The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare
The question is didn’t the prophets & fathers see Yahuah?
The nebim/prophets /fathers saw Yahuah in visions as Yahusha being seated on the throne and encountered the Messenger of Yahuah in a human form before it was revealed He was Yahusha to them and before it was revealed that Yahusha is Yahuah.
Isa 6:1 In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the Hěḵal.
Isa 6:2 Above it stood seraphim. Each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Isa 6:3 And one cried to another and said, “Set-apart, set-apart, set-apart is יהוה of hosts; all the earth is filled with His esteem!”
Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 And I said, “Woe to me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips – for my eyes have seen the Sovereign, יהוה of hosts.”
Isa 6:8 And I heard the voice of יהוה, saying, “Whom do I send, and who would go for Us?” And I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
Isa 6:9 And He said, “Go, and you shall say to this people, ‘Hearing, you hear, but do not understand; and seeing, you see, but do not know.’
Isa 6:10 “Make the heart of this people fat, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and shall turn and be healed.”
Joh 12:39 Because of this they were unable to believe, because again Yeshayahu said:
Joh 12:40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they should not see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and turn, and I should heal them.”
Joh 12:41 Yeshayahu said this when he saw His esteem and spoke of Him.
Yahuchanan says “These things YashaYahu (Isaiah) spoke of Him (Yahusha ) when he saw His esteem.
Ezekiel saw Yahusha as a man seated on the sapphire stone throne as the likeness/damuth of Yahuah
Eze 1:25 And a voice came from above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they dropped their wings.
Eze 1:26 And above the expanse over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone. And on the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man high above it.
Eze 1:27 And from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw what looked like glowing metal with the appearance of fire all around within it. And from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw what looked like fire, and brightness all around.
Eze 1:28 As the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the esteem of יהוה. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.
We have seen the word damuth before where dam means blood and muth means death and is correctly understood as ‘blood likeness’
Isa 25:8 He shall swallow up death forever, and the Master יהוה shall wipe away tears from all faces, and take away the reproach of His people from all the earth. For יהוה has spoken.
Isa 25:9 And it shall be said in that day, “See, this is our Elohim. We have waited for Him, and He saves us. This is יהוה, we have waited for Him, let us be glad and rejoice in His deliverance.”
Hence, when Yahusha was raised from the dead those chosen by Him to see the esteem of Aluahym through His face will say “ See, this is our Aluahym, we have waited for Him, and He saves us”
Not all will get this revelation, only those chosen to draw near Him will be able to identify their Yahuah.
Num 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude /tamunah H8544 of Yahuah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Tamunah means look alike.
Exo 3:2 And the Messenger of יהוה appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush/sanah H5572 And he looked and saw the bush burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed.
Sanah H5572 means thorn
The same word is used for Yahusaph/Yoseph
Deu 33:16 with the choicest of the earth and all that fills it, and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in the bush/sanah H5572 Let it come on the head of Yosěph, and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
Deu 33:17 “His splendour is like a first-born bull, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox. With them he pushes the peoples to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.”
The prophetic blessing says the choicest of the earth and all that fills it and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in the BUSH, let it come on the head of Yoseph .
Yoseph had seen the sun, moon and eleven stars (he himself was the twelveth star) bowing down to him. He represented Yasharal of Aluahym as it was prophesied that the first born blessing was his, taken from Reuben and given to him. From here would be the Shepherd and Stone of Yasharal.
1Ch 5:1 As for the sons of Re’uḇěn the first-born of Yisra’ěl – he was the first-born, but because he profaned his father’s bed, his birthright was given to the sons of Yosěph, son of Yisra’ěl, so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright,
1Ch 5:2 for Yehuḏah prevailed over his brothers, and from him came a ruler, although the birthright was Yosěph’s –
The good pleasure of the one who dwelt among the bush/sanah (thorns) would come on the head of Yoseph who is Yahusha as He became the Yasharal of Aluahym , the yachiyd (only begotten) of the Father.
Wasn’t his head crowed with crown of thorns?
Deut 33:17 says
Deu 33:17 “His splendour is like a first-born bull, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox. With them he pushes the peoples to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.”
Wild ox there is translated as Unicorn by KJV but it means ram/exalted or lift or height. He pushes the people to the ends of the earth. From there He gathers them unto Himself
Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered
Let’s come back to the starting point for creation.
We saw Yahuah made darkness his booth and His Light was hid until He divinely uttered “Let there be Light, and there was Light”
Yahuah who dwells beyond time, space and matter created time, space and matter as He spoke His existence from an unknown, unseen, unheard substance by the breath of His mouth which is a double edged sword through the ruach of prophecy to bring about His substance into being manifest in a form, being face to face with His creation through the face of Yahusha. When Yahusha rose from the dead, those to whom the Light shone in their hearts identified as this is our Aluahym, we have waited for Him and He saves us.
The Abary word for two-edged is paypayah
Pay is the mouth and it’s like two mouths pay paYah (Yah is the poetic short name of Yahuah)
What a beautiful picture we see here, the mouth of Yahuah spoke in the first voice (pay) and in the second voice (pay)
Exo 20:18 correctly interpreted
And all the people perceived the alpah tau voices/qolot, and the alaph tau torches/lappidym, and the alaph tau voice/qol of the ram’s horn/shophar, and the alaph tau mountain/ har smoke/ashan. And the people saw, and they moved, and stood far off.
This is confirmed and understood better when we turn to the text of Deuteronomy where Masha records the singular voice
Deu 5:22 את eth-These words YAHUAH spoke unto all your assembly in the Mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a magnificent/gadul voice/qol H6963: and he added no more. And he wrote them on two sapphire stones, and delivered them unto me.
Deu 5:23 And it came to pass, when ye heard את eth-the voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deu 5:24 And ye said, Behold, YAHUAH ELOHAYNU has showed us את eth-his glory and את eth-his greatness, and we have heard את eth-his voice/qol H6963 out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that ELOHIYM talks את eth-with man, and he lives.
Deu 5:25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear את eth-the voice of YAHUAH ELOHAYNU anymore, then we shall die.
Exodus 20:18 uses the word 'qolot' which is the plural of 'qol' and means voices.
The detail given by the people in Exodus 20 that He spoke with “voices/qolot,” shows us more than one voice i.e. a literal command seconded by the ruach hidden in the command or two tense voices, one His “magnificent voice” which elect hear and understand Yahusha is Yahuah whereas the rest outside the boundary can only hear more than one voice and as they said, they are full of new wine. Basharah of Yahuchanan (John) from chapter 13 to 17 are in two tenses, where Yahusha speaks in first tense voice as Yahuah Himself at times as well as second tense voice as the Son of Aluahym. Those who don’t understand and see His divinity make two different persons out of what is spoken.
In fact, the miraculous utterance of multiple voices being emitted from a HIM at once! When He spoke the Ten Commandments, although He alone was speaking, He was supernaturally uttering more than one word at the same time! This is nothing less than the gift of tongues, a miraculous form of speech, spoken by the Creator of all tongues, Himself! As He poured His Torah into them, His Ruach used a speaking method that could not be explained, but demonstrated His own power to every single person there!
All this happened at Sinai which is a root word in sanah where we saw Yahuah appeared as a Messenger in the bush/sanah (thorns)
Heb 4:12 For the Word of Elohim is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Heb 4:13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account.
Rev 1:16 And in His (Yahusha’s) right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword,and His face was as the sun shining in its strength.
Rev 2:12 “And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write, ‘He who has the sharp two-edged sword, says this:
Two edged sword: Hebrew word for double edge: Paypayah פִּיפִיָּה
Hebrew word for sword: charab חֶרֶב
Pro 5:4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.
Proverbs 5:4 mis translation in English as two -edged
The Hebrew word there is pah H6310 which means mouth
Since mouth/pah sword/charab didn’t make sense to translators, they translated it as twoedged sword. The mouth sword of the whore is words that kill and she cannot be compared to our Blessed Savior Yahusha whose twoedged sword from His mouth separates or divided bones and marrow, spirit and soul and brings to light what is hidden to light.
In closing, Yahuah who spoke His substance into time, space and matter from behind the veil where He made the thick darkness his pavilion, He pierced through the thick darkness through the paypaYah charab (two edged sword) which divided asunder bringing forth His substance to be face to face with His creation through a form and the breath/Ruach of His mouth watched over His word unfolding prophecy in time in helping those chosen to see and identify their Yahuah, those who waited for Him. He upheld everything by the word of His power
Heb 1:3 who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the word of His power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high,
With the substance of Yahuah transitioned from invisibility to visibility, from transcendence to immanence, everything that Yahuah is Yahusha is when Yahusha was declared to be the Son of Aluahym with power. The Son is coterminous with the Dabar which contained the breath of Yahuah. Hence, when Thoma examined his hands and his side wounds, he confessed My Yahuah and my Aluahym.
1Jn 1:1 Alaph Tau which was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life:
The works were finished from the foundation of the world. The transfer of all of Yahuah including His substance and power was ordained and determined in a bodily form as Yahusha, Yahuah rested from all His work as His will and purpose was accomplished when He made all of creation to relate back to Himself. His Ruach would watch over His Word to bring it to pass into time unfolding prophecy to enable us to identify Him.
Eph 1:9 having made known to us the secret of His desire, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Him,
Eph 1:10 to administer at the completion of time, to gather together in one all in Messiah, both which are in the heavens and which are on earth, in Him,
