Image 1.
Psa 110:1 A Mizmor of David. - YAHUAH said unto my ADONAI, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.
Your Hebrew translation into English would read this, but there are Masoretic to English translation uses the word 'adoni' which means 'my master' with the vowel pointing while the spelling remains the same 𐤀𐤃𐤍𐤉(Adonay)
In the previous study 'The Imagery of the Cherubims and their Significance' we saw the 4 faces significance of the cherubs seen in vision by Eezkiel and Yahuchanan. While the 4 faces depict the role or reflection of Yahusha gathering the elect from the 4 corners of the earth, there is much deeper meaning to these 4 faces seen.
Image 2.
We saw the face of a man was front facing, face of a lion was on the right side, face of an ox or calf on the left side and face of eagle behind. Each had 4 wings which again shows an imagery of 4 winds, 4 corners of the earth & 4 gospels/basharah. If you refer to image 1 we see 2 wings of each cherub overshadowing the lid of atonement and the faces of the cherub bowing down inwards towards the lid of atonement. The image 1. pattern was shown to Moshe/Masha on the mount and shows the Dalet Uau Dalet pattern -in a two fold witness.
Dalet Uau Dalet : 𐤃𐤅𐤃 Forms the word Daud/David H1732 which means 'Beloved'
Psa 132:11 YAHUAH has sworn in truth to Dawiḏ; He does not turn from it, “Of the fruit of your body I set upon your throne.
2Sa 7:15 “But My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Sha’ul, whom I removed from before you.
2Sa 7:16 “And your house and your reign are to be steadfast forever before you – your throne is established forever.” ’ ”
The Davidic covenant came with a promise that his throne will be established forever
Psa 89:35 “Once I have sworn by My set-apartness, I do not lie to Dawiḏ:
Psa 89:36 “His seed shall be forever, And his throne as the sun before Me;
Psa 89:37 “Like the moon, it is established forever, And the witness in the heaven is steadfast.” Selah.
Luk 1:69 and has raised up a horn of deliverance for us in the house of His servant Dawiḏ,
Hence, the Davidic covenant came with a promise that Mashiyach would sit on his throne ruling forever.
Speaking about Mashiyach being the Son of David, Yahusha asks the Pharisees as stated in Matthew 22
Aramaic Peshitta translation of Matthew 22:
ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܪ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܪ ܕܘܝܕ
42 and said, “What do you say about Meshikha {The Anointed One}? Whose Son is He?” They were saying unto Him, “The Son of David.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܘܝܕ ܒܪܘܚ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ
43 He said unto them, “And how does David, through The Spirit, call Him 'MarYa {The Lord-YHWH}?' For, he said
ܕܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܝ ܕܬܒ ܠܟ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܣܝܡ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝܟ
44 that ‘MarYa {The Lord-YHWH} said unto Mari {My Lord}, that You must sit at My right, until I place Your enemies under Your feet.’”
ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܩܪܐ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ
45 If therefore, David calls Him MarYa {The Lord-YHWH}, how is He his Son?”
TS2009 translation:
Mat 22:42 saying, “What do you think concerning the Messiah? Whose Son is He?” They said to Him, “The Son of Dawiḏ.”
Mat 22:43 He said to them, “Then how does Dawiḏ in the Spirit call Him ‘ADON’ (Yahuah) saying,
Mat 22:44 YAHUAH said to ADONAY (Yahuah) , “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool of Your feet” ’? Psa 110:1.
Mat 22:45 “If then Dawiḏ calls Him ‘ADON,’ (Yahuah) how is He his Son?”
Yahusha is quoting Psalms 110:1 the occupying place of Himself as Adonay/Mari which they have translated as 'My Master'. This is through a decree and hence, He is asking the Pharisees as to whose Son the Messiah is. They confess he is Son of David, Yahusha goes on to ask them How does David in the Ruach call him ADON. ADON is the title used for Yahuah Himself. The Aramaic Peshitta confirms with the translated word of the Tetragrammation YHUH as MarYa. Many only see the word 'Adonay/Mari' translated as 'My Master' to assign or attribute him a 2nd in command/ruler title.
We must understand the occupying place of the right hand in prophecy denoted by the face of the lion on the right side of the cherubim.
Eze 1:10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, and each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Yahudah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the cepher, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Eph 1:5 Having predetermined us unto the adoption of children by YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved (Dayadu)
In the Davidic covenant as called as 'Son of David' Yahuah shows that He is in a transition in occupying a place/room of office to adopt us as His Sons. In the fullness of times He gathers everything in Mashiyach in heaven and on earth in Him.
Dalet Uau Dalet: 𐤃𐤅𐤃 (Daud/David)
If you refer to image 1. We can see it through the wings and the body and face of one cherub bowing down to the lid of the atonement and is also denoted by the front face of the cherub in the vision Ezekiel saw. It shows He first entered His creation through the door by the human face as a Messenger of Yahuah.
Eze 1:10 And the likeness of their faces: the face of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, and each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
The first time scripture records Yahuah walking about in the garden is mentioned in Gen 3:8. The Spirit/Ruach doesn't walk, Yahusha likened the Ruach/Spirit as the wind. So Him being into a form is evident here that it was a human form.
Gen 3:8 And they heard the sound of יהוה Elohim walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of יהוה Elohim among the trees of the garden.
The decree was spoken before anything was ever created, Hence, Yahuah is in a transition as he spoke His substance to enter through the door of the heavens (Dalet) & come to be into the door of the world (Dalet) by piercing (Uau) Himself and this was a foreshadow of what He would afterwards be when He would come into the world in human form but this time being born.
Heb 1:6 And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim worship Him.”
ܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܥܠ ܒܘܟܪܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܠܗ ܢܣܓܕܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
6 Yet again, when bringing The Firstborn into the alma {the world}, He Spoke: “Unto Him is the worship of all The Malake d'Alaha
{The Heavenly Messengers of Aluahym}.”
Hence, the 2 cherubs overshadowing the mercy seat are a two fold witness of what He would become, the word 'again' shows this was a re-entry and this re-entry needed a decree and that decree is that all Messengers of Aluahym worship Him. The root word 'huah' in Yahuah's name is an action verb which means 'To be/become'
This coming is to be face to face with His creation.
Gen 1:3 And Elohim said, “Let light come to be,” and 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.
David comes from the word Daud דוד (𐤃𐤅𐤃) which means Beloved.
Eph 1:6 says we are accepted by our Beloved referring to Mashiyach.
It was promised to David that on his throne the Mashiyach will rule forever over Yasharal.
That’s why Yahusha is called Son of David as He sprang from this tribe with an eternal priesthood which Torah never spoke about.
Yahusha is called the Lion of Yahudah (Judah) and there was a voice from heaven “This is my Beloved (Daud דוד) Son in whom I’m well pleased “
David's name is spelled as Dalet uau Dalet where Dalet is the door and uau is the nail and Dalet is door. It’s the picture of heaven being tabernacled with earth as a tent in Mashiyach. Some deep things hidden in Hebrew.
Door pegged to a Door and Mashiyach the Beloved is revealed walking right through the doors.
This is the occupying place of the right hand as David prophesied "Yahuah said to Yahuah, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool" This is how the verse should read as the one occupying the office of the right hand is Yahuah Himself.
By decree He was in a transition to be embodied so that the fulness of Yahuah would be manifest in a human body, the Creator being face to face with His creation.
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness 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.
He who created time, entered into time and in the fulness of time, by decree Aluahym sent forth His Son, born of a woman under Torah. In a prophetic oath He revealed Himself as the Father of Yasharal where He calls Yasharal as His first born son. And He quotes out of Mistrayim I called My Son.
Hos 11:1 “When Yisra’ĕl was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.
Exo 4:22 “And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus said יהוה, “Yisra’ĕl is My son, My first-born,
Isa 64:8 And now, O יהוה, You are our Father. We are the clay, and You our potter. And we are all the work of Your hand.
Isa 63:16 For You are our Father, though Aḇraham does not know us, and Yisra’ĕl does not recognise us. You, O יהוה, are our Father, our Redeemer – Your Name is from of old.
The the transition of time, Yahuah revealed Himself as the Father and promised that there will be a Day when Yasharal would call him 'My man/husband' (ISHI)
He also says you will no longer call me baali (my Master) but Ishi ( man or husband).
Hos 2:16 “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My MAN/ISHI H376,’ and no longer call Me ‘My Master/BAALI. H1180’
Jer 31:31 “See, the days are coming,” declares יהוה, “when I shall make a new covenant with the house of Yisra’ĕl and with the house of Yehuḏah.
Jer 31:32 not like the covenant I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim, My covenant which they broke, though I was a baal/master H1166 to them,” declares יהוה.
Hence, He came to be born under the Torah, born of a woman in the fullness of time. He divides the soul and ruach by the dabar by embodying Himself as a soul essence while being filled by His Ruach in fullness to be a husband to Yasharal.
Eph 5:30 Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
Eph 5:31 “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
Eph 5:32 This secret is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly.
Heb 4:12 For the Word of the Elohim is living and He acts effective, and is sharper
than any double-edged sword, and piercing through even to differentiate
between the soul and the spirit, and between the joints and the marrow,
and able to judge the thoughts and schemes of the heart
Just as Yaaqob/James says as the body without the soul is dead so also faith without works.
So embodiment He had equal share in Divinity and that’s what the emissary Shaul says in Philippians 2 that though in the form of Yahuah, He didn’t consider it robbery to be equal to Him. But being in the flesh as the Son, He chose servanthood and remember He had said they will call him Ishi which also means husband.
Php 2:6 Who, being in the form of YAH, thought it not robbery to be equal with YAHUAH:
Php 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Coming back to Yahuah's form, Yahuah appeared to His people in the OT in human form.
Example: the three messengers who ate and drank with Abraham, one of them was Yahuah and it says three men appeared to him. There are many other examples but this will suffice due to lack of time.
Gen 18:1 And יהוה appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamrĕ, while he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day.
Gen 18:2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and saw three men/ishi standing opposite him. And when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground,
Gen 18:3 and said, “יהוה, if I have now found favour in Your eyes, please do not pass Your servant by.
Gen 18:4 “Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
The Abrahamic covenant:
We read in Gen 15 Yahuah appeared to Abraham in a vision and Abraham tells Yahuah he is childless and a promise is made to Abraham that his seed would be like the stars of the sky and Abraham believed in the promise and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall your seed be.
Gen 15:6 And he believed in YAHUAH; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Gen 15:7 And he said unto him, I am YAHUAH that brought you out of Ur of the Kasdiym, to give you את eth-this land to inherit it.
In Gal 3:16 Shaul the emissary speaks of this promise Yahuah made with Abraham was of the SEED Mashiyach and not many seeds.
Gal 3:16 But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Messiah.
Gal 3:17 Now this I say, Torah, that came four hundred and thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously confirmed by Elohim in Messiah, so as to do away with the promise.
Coming back to the promise, Abraham asks for a sign, he is then told to bring a three-year-old heifer, and a three-year-old female goat, and a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon and he cut them in half except the birds and a smoking oven and a burning torch went through those pieces
Gen 15:8 And he said, “Master יהוה, whereby do I know that I possess it?”
Gen 15:9 And He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, and a three-year-old female goat, and a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
Gen 15:10 And he took all these to Him and cut them in the middle, and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not cut the birds.
Gen 15:17 And it came to be, when the sun went down and it was dark, that see, a smoking oven and a burning torch passing between those pieces.
Again we see the occupying place of the Dabar/Memra in the office of Mediatorship as seen in Psalms 110:1 by decree.
We saw Heb 4:12 which says the Dabar of Yahuah is like a two-edged sword which differentiates between soul and spirit and joints and marrow and that is the picture we see of Yahuah. In visions the prophets always saw a man seated on the throne and there was no one seated besides Yahuah, the only imagery the prophets have seen and written in scripture are of the Lamb taking the scroll from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
Rev 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, having been sealed with seven seals.
Rev 5:6 And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of Elohim sent out into all the earth.
Rev 5:7 And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne.
In our previous study 'The Imagery of the Cherubims and their Significance' we saw in Rev 4 the one seated on the throne, His appearance was as Jasper and Ruby. Ruby is the first stone in a high priest's breastplate and Jasper is the last stone in the high priest breastplate. John/Yahuchanan saw through the sea of glass and hence, he saw it in a reverse order. It is an imagery of Yahusha ha Mashiyach as the High Priest. So, who was seated on the throne? Yahusha Himself. Then who was the Lamb having seven horns and seven eyes who took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne? Yahusha Himself. If people look at right hand literally, then is it right for them to look at seven horns and seven eyes literally without understanding the imagery? Here, again we see the same Yahuah in an occupying place both on the throne as well as at the right hand as the Lamb.
Dan 7:9 “I was looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like clean wool, His throne was flames of fire, its wheels /galgal H1535 burning fire.
We again saw in the study 'The Imagery of the Cherubims and their Significance' galgal was called out in the hearing which refers to Galgaltha, the place of the skull where Yahusha was impaled.
Eze 10:13 The wheels/aphan H212 were called in my hearing, “Wheel/galgal H1534.”
In the vision Daniel saw the hair on the head of the Ancient of days like clean wool. Yahuchanan/John describes the Son of man, His hair was white as wool as snow. Daniel states His throne was flames of fire, Yahuchanan says His eyes were flames of fire.
Rev 1:14 And His head and hair were white as white wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire,
Dan 7:13 “I was looking in the night visions and saw One like the Son of Enosh, coming with the clouds of the heavens! And He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.
Dan 7:14 “And to Him was given rulership and preciousness and a reign, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His rule is an everlasting rule which shall not pass away, and His reign that which shall not be destroyed.
The Son of man/enosh who was brought near to the Ancient of days is also Yahusha who is occupying this room as we saw in Psalms 110:1. Those who don't understand the similarities and differences in the imageries of the comparative text, do not understand the occupying room or office.
Coming back to the Gen 15 account, the deep sleep was put on Abraham and the Abary word for 'deep sleep' is 'tardemah'
'tar' means border
'damah' has the 'dam' which means 'blood' damah also means 'silence'
Remember, the deep sleep fell on Abraham in respect to His seed being in affliction for 400 years in Mitsrayim/Egypt after which Yahuah with a strong and mighty arm would bring them out of Egypt. We read in Galatians 3, the seed referred to was 'Seed' and not to 'seeds' as in many and the seed is Mashiyach
Hos 11:1 “When Yisra’ĕl was a child, I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.
Mat 2:15 and remained (there until the death of Herodes, to fill what was spoken by יהוה through the prophet, saying, “Out of Mitsrayim I have called My Son
The smoking oven and a burning torch passed between the pieces which show what was divided 'Seed' and 'seeds' is made 'One' and is denoted by a sacrifice. And that's why in the imagery we see the face of an ox/calf in the cherubim.
Yahusha is Yahuah in the occupying room of the right hand and we in Him as He is the Mediator of the renewed covenant. We are not done with Abraham yet.
We will now look at 'bosom' in the NT John 1:18
John 1:18 in Greek
‹18› θεὸν οὐδεὶς ἑώρακεν πώποτε·
µονογενὴς θεὸς ὁ ὢν εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ πατρὸς ἐκεῖνος ἐξηγήσατο.
18 theon oudeis heraken ppote; monogen
s theos ho n eis ton kolpon tou patros ekeinos ex g sato
The Elohim no one has seen ever; the only begotten Elohim, the One being in the bosom of the Father, that One explained Him.
John 1:18 in Aramaic
ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܡܬܘܡ ܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܥܘܒܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܐܫܬܥܝ
18 No nash {man} has ever seen Alaha {God}. The Unique One, Alaha {God}, He who is in the bosom of His Father; He has Declared Him.
John 1:18 in Hebrew (the word highlighted is ben which means Son)
Joh 1:18 את האלהים לא־ראה איש מעולם הבן היחיד אשר בחיק האב הוא הודיע׃
Joh 1:18 No one has ever seen Elohim. The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare
The Scriptures 1998+ comes with a trinitarian concept of a pre-existent Son. The foot note says Footnotes: 1See 5:37, 6:46, 1 John 4:12. 2The pre-existent Son declared, and was the One who appeared to men.
The problem with the Hebrew translation is that its a copy of later Greek manuscripts.
The following manuscripts support huios /son (all include the article):

Codex C3 - "corrector" of Eprhraemi Rescriptus
Codex Θ - Tiflis (9th C.)
Codex Ψ - Athos (8/9 C.)

f1, 13 - "families" of 18 Greek minuscle mss
𝔐 = majority Byzantine text
Versions
Old Latin
Curetonian Syriac (5th C.)
Heraclean Syriac (18th C. edition)
However, the following supports μονογενὴς Θεὸς (the only begotten Aluahym) as the correct reading :
LECTIO DIFFICILIOR POTIOR
The copyist has more likely to change "theos" to "huios" than vise versa. In fact, μονογενὴς Θεὸς is a so-called hapax legomenon - a rare one-time occurrence in the NT. Even if it were a simple scribal error, the sudden appearance of a "difficult reading" in the manuscript tradition would likely be corrected back to the normative text.
NOT A GNOSTIC TRANSLATION AT ALL
Some say that it's a gnostic corruption of the text but if that were so then why do we find the Old Testament and Yahusha's ancestry in the very MSS (manuscripts) ?
EARLY MSS ATTEST ITS VERACITY
μονογενὴς Θεὸς (monogenes theos: only begotten Aluahym) is represented in a great number of the earliest MSS (manuscripts), is prominent in the MSS that are considered to contain accurate texts, and is most probably what John actually wrote.
The following manuscripts support theos. This list conflates the evidence of those MSS which have an article (ho) and those without it (the latter is the text of Nestle-Aland):
Early Greek witnesses:

Late Greek copies:

Irenaeus' (A.D. 130-202) 'unigenitus deus' in his Against Heresies IV, 20, 11 is probably a John 1:18 quotation from an Old Latin MSS.
The Coptic versions is one of the earliest versions of the NT where huios (son) is completely absent.
Summary of John 1:18: The early Greek, Aramaic manuscripts say ‘Only Begotten Aluahym” (Greek words: monogenes theos)
Aramaic says : ‘the Only Unique One Alaha (Aluah)
Later Greek manuscripts say “ monogenes uihos/huios “ which means “ Only begotten Son” based on Father Son relationship, adding to the text based on John 3:16 and other places where it says of Him as “Only begotten Son”
John 1 is all about His divinity
John 1:1 The Dabar was with Aluahym and the dabar is Aluahym.
Greek uses Logos and Aramaic Miltha/Memra
John 1:3 Everything created by him and for him
John 1:10 the world He created didn’t recognize Him
John 1:14 the Dabar/Logos/Miltha or Memra became flesh and tabernacled with us.
John 1:18 No one has seen Aluahym ever, he only one Theos/Aluah/Alaha (titles for Aluahym in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic), the only being in the bosom of the Father He has made known
The Greek word for bosom is kolpos, the Aramaic word for bosom is bauba
The same words are used in the parable of the Rich man and Alazar (Lazarus)
Luk 16:22 “And it came to be that the beggar died, and was carried by the messengers to the bosom (Greek: kolpos, aramaic: baubah, Hebrew: cheyq of Aḇraham) And the rich man also died and was buried.
The One being in the bosom of the Father is Yahusha occupying the room of Yahuah in the role of the Son, High Priest, Sacrificial Lamb & Husband denoted by the Right Hand. Just as Alazar/Lazarus occupied the bosom of Abraham, an imagery for an occupying room as the seed of Abraham. And this was a parable where the rich man stood as an imagery for physical seed Yasharal who stood rich in covenant, blessings, inheritance etc.
Hence, we saw as of now the 3 faces of the cherub related to the imagery, the man/ human form Yahuah appeared in OT times & came into this world being born in human body. Face of lion where He sprang forth as the Lion of Yahudah, a priest which Masha/Moses never spoke of.
Heb 7:14 For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yahuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood,
Face of Ox/calf, the Abraham covenant denoted by the sacrifices through which the smoking oven and a burning torch went through. Also, later when Yitshaq was born, he received him back as a type as the ram caught with its horns in the thickets was offered in his place on mount Moriah (same place later the temple was built). And Abraham named the place 'Yahuah Yarah' which means in the Mount Yahuah will be seen.
Heb 11:17 By belief, Aḇraham, when he was tried, offered up Yitsḥaq, and he who had received the promises offered up his only brought-forth son,
Heb 11:18 of whom it was said, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called,”
Heb 11:19 reckoning that Elohim was able to raise, even from the dead, from which he received him back, as a type.
And who called out to him, it says 'The Messenger of Yahuah' which was the occupying place of Yahusha as Yahuah before He was born in a human body
Gen 22:15 And the Messenger of YAHUAH called to Aḇraham a second time from the heavens,
The man in linen:
Eze 10:6 And it came to be, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels/galgal H1534 from among the keruḇim,” that he went in and stood beside the wheel.
Eze 10:7 And the keruḇ stretched out his hand from among the keruḇim to the fire that was among the keruḇim, and took some, and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.
Eze 10:8 And the form of a man’s hand was seen under the wings of the keruḇim.
In the OT there was an occupying room for the priests and the high priest where they changed their garments when they came for service in the temple and also ate of their set-apart portions
Eze 42:14 “When the priests enter, they are not to go out of the set-apart room into the outer courtyard, but leave their garments in which they attend there, for they are set-apart, and shall put on other garments and shall draw near to that which is for the people.”
Lev 6:25 “Speak to Aharon and to his sons, saying, ‘This is the Torah of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering is slaughtered before יהוה, it is most set-apart.
Lev 6:26 ‘The priest who is making atonement eats it, in the set-apart place it is eaten, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
Hence, the man in linen is the high priest in the occupying room where he alone had access behind the veil on the Day of Atonement.
Lev 16:12 and shall take a fire holder filled with burning coals of fire from the altar before יהוה, with his hands filled with sweet incense beaten fine, and shall bring it inside the veil.
Lev 16:13 “And he shall put the incense on the fire before יהוה, and the cloud of incense shall cover the lid of atonement which is on the Witness, lest he die.
Lev 16:14 “And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the lid of atonement on the east side, also in front of the lid of atonement he sprinkles some of the blood with his finger seven times.
On the Day of Atonement the high priest had to take fire from the altar as Torah required the source of the fire be only from the brazen altar. If you recollect Aharon's sons Nadab and Abihu were killed as the source of the fire for incense altar was not the fire from the brazen altar but termed as 'strange fire'. Coming back to the Day of Atonement, the high priest had to have fire from the brazen altar where the lamb was sacrificed , in a censer, and he had to hold much incense in his other hand and go to the Set-Apart place where the incense altar is and offer the sweet incense so that a lot of smoke is created, and when he sprinkles the blood on the lid of the atonement/mercy seat, it says he doesn't die.
Hence, in Ezekiel's vision the man in the vision is given by the cherubim fire in between galgal translated as wheels which is actually the pointer for Yahusha ha Mashiyach who is the high priest who presided over His own sacrifice. He is in the occupying place. The earthly high priest had to make way for Him.
Joh 11:49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
Joh 11:50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
Joh 11:51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Yahusha should die for that nation;
Joh 11:52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of Aluahym that were scattered abroad.
Yahusha only spoke twice of Him being the Sovereign during his trial:
One before the high priest and another before Pilate. Remember, before the High priest he was being accused for blasphemy and before Pilate for being a Sovereign
Matt 26: 63 But יהושע remained silent. So the high priest said to Him, “I put You to oath, by the living Elohim that You say to us if You are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim.”
64 יהושע said to him, “You have said it. Besides I say to you, *from now on you shall see the Son of Aḏam sitting at the right hand of the Power*, Psa. 110:1 and coming on the clouds of the heaven.”
65 Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard His blasphemy!
The right hand or the Power was claiming equality:
John 18: 37 Then Pilate said to Him, “You are a sovereign, then?” יהושע answered, “You say it, because I am a sovereign. For this I was born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
But in front of Herod, he answered not a word because there was no need for Him to defend Himself before Herod. The text says the high priest put Him under a Oath (according to Torah)
With Caiaphas tore his garments, according to Torah he was disqualified being the high priest as per Torah, and Yahusha stood now as the high priest and his inner garment which was woven from the top in one piece wasn't torn as he was the qualified high priest who now presided over his own sacrifice.
Lev 10:6 And Mosheh said to Aharon, and to Elʽazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Do not unbind your heads nor tear your garments, lest you die, and wrath come upon all the people. But let your brothers, all the house of Yisra’ĕl, bewail the burning which יהוה has kindled.
Lev 21:10 ‘And the high priest among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil was poured and who is ordained to wear the garments, does not unbind his head nor tear his garments,
Joh 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had impaled יהושע, took His outer garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the inner garment. But the inner garment was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.
Joh 19:24 So they said to each other, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it – whose it shall be,” in order that the Scripture might be filled which says, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” The soldiers therefore indeed did this.
The earthly high priest occupying the room in Mashiyach made way for Mashiyach Yahusha whose inner garment they didn't tear. Hence, the wrath didn't come on the people whom Yahuah chose in Himself but on those outside the covenant occupying the room of the principality and powers. The intended transition happened as per the decree.
Heb 9:11 But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,
Heb 9:12 entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the defiled, sets apart for the cleansing of the flesh,
Heb 9:14 how much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the everlasting Spirit offered Himself unblemished to Elohim, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim?
Heb 9:15 And because of this He is the Mediator of a renewed covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.
The writer of Hebrews confirms to us that Mashiyach entered the Most Set Apart place with his OWN BLOOD which shows us that he presided over his own sacrifice at the summit.Psa 110:1 Yahuah said to Yahuah, “Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
1Co 15:22 For as all die in Aḏam, so also all shall be made alive in Messiah .
1Co 15:23 And each in his own order: Messiah the first-fruits, then those who are of Messiah at His coming,
1Co 15:24 then the end, when He delivers up the reign to Elohim the Father, when He has brought to naught all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 For He has to reign until He has put all enemies under His feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy to be brought to naught is death.
1Co 15:27 For “He has put all under His feet.” But when He says “all are put under Him,” it is clear that He who put all under Him is excepted.
1Co 15:28 And when all are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself shall also be subject to Him who put all under Him, in order that Elohim be all in all.
Unitarians who don't believe in the divinity of Mashiyach Yahusha love to quote 1 Cor 15:22-26 without understanding the transition Yahuah is in and the occupying room He has taken as a mediator, as a Son, High Priest, Sacrificial Lamb & Husband as per His decree in Pslams 110:1. Shaul the emissary quotes Psalms 110:1 and the last enemy to be put under the Occupying Room is death. Once, its completed the Son will be subject to the One who subordinated everything under Him (as per decree) so that Aluahym will be ALL IN ALL. The occupying room will be dissolved in Himself as the purpose is accomplished and then His complete revelation as Yahuah will be known as denoted by the term 'ALL IN ALL'
1Corin 15:27 in the Aramaic Peshitta reads as follows:
ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܫܥܒܕ ܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܡܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܣܛܪ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܟܠ
27 For, all is subordinated under His feet. Yet, when it says that every thing is subordinated unto Him, it is well known that it is apart from The One who subordinated all unto Him.
The translation clearly shows the 'occupying room' apart from THE ONEThe Hebrew translation is from the Greek reverse translation and is a mis understanding of the word 'ἐκτός (ektos)' G1622 which means the exterior, (as a preposition) aside from, besides, outside, other things, without, out
1Co 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is besides/outside/aside, which did put all things under him.
The translation bias into English is read as the one occupying the room is inferior to the One who subjected in decree which is incorrect. Its an equal share/ground even though the room occupied seems to be as though outside of Yahuah but we saw the innate relationship in the 'begotten Alyahym' in the bosom of the Father as One being.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
In the Greek they didn't translate the words 'ta' & 'ho' in the verse & word hupotassō is rooted in hypotagē, hypotagēsetai, hypotaxanti from which the words 'subjected' is derived, the word πάντα(panta) means 'whole' . Without the correct understanding the meaning of the entire verse changes as quoted above
ὑποτάσσω/hupotassō G5293 comes from the root word 'hupo' G5259 which means 'under/underlying' and is a root word in 'hupostasis' G5287 which means 'underlying substance'
Heb 1:3 who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance/hupostasis (ὑπόστασις) G5287, 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,
1Corn 15:‹28› ὅταν δὲ ὑποταγῇ (G5293) αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, τότε [καὶ] αὐτὸς ὁ υἱὸς ὑποταγήσεται (G5293) τῷ
ὑποτάξαντι (G5293) αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, ἵνα ᾖ ὁ θεὸς [τὰ] πάντα ἐν πᾶσιν.
When now shall have been put underneath to him the whole (panta) , then even Himself the Son be under Him the Whole (panta) to the end that the (ho) God/theos might be the (ta) whole (panta) in whole(pasin)
The Greek correct translation shows the Son is under the WHOLE Yahuah in equal substance/Room, an occupying room which when completed, Aluahym will be Whole in Whole.
Hence, we see that the occupying room of the Son was at first blush Abraham & David, and the priests, high priest, Royal kings etc. occupied it but it was by decree given to Yahusha and everything makes way to Him to be the manifest Yahuah equal in embodiment as the Son, High Priest, Sacrifical Lamb, Husband and Only Ruler over Yasharal.
Finally the last face of the cherub is of the eagle
Exo 19:4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Mitsrites, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
Isa 40:31 but those who wait on Yahuah renew their strength, they raise up the wing like eagles, they run and are not weary, they walk and do not faint.
Luk 17:35 “Two shall be grinding together, the one shall be taken and the other shall be left.
Luk 17:36 “Two shall be in the field, the one shall be taken and the other shall be left.”
Luk 17:37 And they answering, said to Him, “Where, Master?” And He said to them, “Where the body is, there also the eagles shall be gathered together.”
Eagle is a bird of prey, while Yahuah in His dabar speaks positively of eagle as He himself delivering His people on eagles wings bringing them to Himself and also those waiting on Him, the eagle as a bird of prey also destroys those occupied in fleshly things of Babylon.
Ezekiel 28: The lamentation was taken for the king of Tsor. The King of Tsor had supplied all cedard, cypress and gold to build the house of Yahuah.
1Ki 9:10 And it came to be, at the end of twenty years, that Shelomoh had built the two houses, the House of יהוה and the house of the sovereign.
1Ki 9:11 Ḥiram the sovereign of Tsor had supplied Shelomoh with cedar and cypress and gold, as much as he desired. Then Sovereign Shelomoh gave Ḥiram twenty cities in the land of Galil.
1Ki 9:12 And Ḥiram came from Tsor to see the cities which Shelomoh had given him, but they were not right in his eyes,
1Ki 9:13 and he said, “What are these cities you have given me, my brother?” And he called them the land of Kaḇul, as they are to this day.
Symbolically in imagery the lamentation for the king of Tsor is actually for the high priest, the one who had access to walk up and down in the midst of the stones of fire as we saw the man in linen who was given fire in the midst of the wheels/galgal
Eze 28:14 “You were the anointed keruḇ that covered. And I placed you, you were on the set-apart mountain of Elohim. You walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
Eze 28:15 “You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Eze 28:16 “By the greatness of your trade you became filled with violence within, and you sinned. So I thrust you from the mountain of Elohim, and I destroyed you, O covering keruḇ, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Eze 20:40 “For on My set-apart mountain, on the mountain height of Yisra’ĕl,” declares the Master YAHUAH, “there all the house of Yisra’ĕl, all of them in the land, shall serve Me. There I shall accept them, and there I shall require your offerings and the first-fruits of your offerings, together with all your set-apart gifts.
Eze 20:41 “As a sweet fragrance I shall accept you when I bring you out from the peoples. And I shall gather you out of the lands where you have been scattered. And I shall be set-apart in you before the gentiles.
Eze 20:42 “And you shall know that I am יהוה, when I bring you into the land of Yisra’ĕl, into the land for which I lifted My hand in an oath to give to your fathers.
The Set-Apart mountain is the house of Yasharal who serve Him in the occupying room of Yahusha's mediatorship. But when He came, they rejected Him. The High Priest i.e. the man in linen had access to the fire from between the wheels/galgal and hence occupied the office of a covering cherub.
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/adam H120 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.
However, Yahusha in a vision was seen as being exalted above the cherubs as the lid of atonement/mercy seat was exalted in the person of Yahuah post the blood being sprinkled on it and is synonymous with what Shaul the emissary/apostle says in Eph 4:8-10 which is synonymous with 1 Corin 15:28
Eph 4:8 That is why it says, “When He went up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
Eph 4:9 But what does “He went up” mean, except that He also first went down into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10 He who went down is also the One who went up far above all the heavens, to fill all.
Shalum!
