The AL of the LIVING

 Gen 2:7 And יהוה Elohim formed the man out of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostril’s breath of lives/chayim. And the man became a living being/nephesh chayah.  

Gen 2:7 refutes the rabbinical view of Adam in two halves fused together as male and female for Gen 2:7 says, and the man became a living being/nephesh chayah. He was singular being. The first part of the verse says Yahuah Aluahym breathed into his nostril’s breath of LIVES and the lives here is plural as Adam was the first man & representative of the whole human race and hence holder of breath of all human lives including Chauah's/Eve's. 

Shaul said this is a great mystery of Mashiyach and his bride. 

Eph 5:30 Because we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bone. 

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.” 

When Chauah was brought forth of Adam, if she was just made of a rib, Adam would have just said "This is bone of my bone" as there was no flesh in the cutting out. But Adam said.  

Gen 2:23 And the man said, “This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of man.” 

Gen 2:24 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.  

We are of His flesh and of His bone shows that when Yahuah cut out Chauah from Adam. Adam who held the breath of lives, Yahusha picked up his breath from Adam and the likeness of his sinful flesh though his body was heavenly and not earthy. This He did so that He could die for our sins. But when He was raised to life, He was united to the breath of life which is everlasting, and death no longer has power over Him. We are confirmed to this promise in Him. Yahusha's bride was cut out from the etsem/ bone from heaven as an image we are conformed to. Scripture confirms that Adam was a type of Him i.e. Yahusha who was to come and Yahusha is called the last Adam. (Rom 5:14 & 1 Corin 15:45). 

Gen3:20 Now the man called the name of his wife Chauwah (Eve), because she was the mother of all LIFE/CHAY. 

Scripture is particular in identifying the plural lives i.e., Chayim was from MAN and not the woman. The genealogies are from man and never from a woman. 

Gen 2:23 And the man said, “This is now bone/etsem of my bone/etsemey and flesh/basar of my flesh: basaray. This one is called ‘WOMAN/ashah אשה,’ because she was taken out of man.”  

The bone and flesh here are singular and so is the woman who is part of the man and was taken out of him to be a separate being but being related to his innermost being. 

Speaking of Mashiyach and us, Shaul says in Eph5:30 we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bone (etsemeyu).

Ex 24:10 and they saw alaph tau the El of Yisra’El; and under His feet as it were a work of a pavement of sapphire, as BONE/etsem עץם the heavens for clearness. 

Masha, Aharaon & his 2 sons, and the 70 elders saw Yahusha as the estem/bone of the shamayim.

The typology is of earthy vs heavenly. 

Heb 7:16 who has become, not according to the command of flesh and blood but according to the power of live/s (Hebrew: Chayim, Greek: zoes ζωῆς) that is not destructible to them. 

The Greek word 'zoes' ζωῆς is the 'first declension' of 'zoe' ζωῆ 

What is a declension?


Greek nouns of the first declension are feminine or masculine. In the Attic and Koine dialects, the lemma form of feminine nouns ends in -η, -ᾰ, -ᾱ (-ē, -a, -ā), and that of masculine nouns in -ης, -ᾱς (-ēs, -ās).

The dual and plural forms are identical in all first-declension nouns; the variation happens in the singular. Hence, 'zoes 
ζωῆς' is the plural form of the singular and can be written as LIVE/S or Living or Life. The usage is unique as it shows a life form, within a life. The usage is this word in the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) is 47 times and all 47 times its translated as 'Life'.

Examples:

Rev20:15 And if anyone that was not found written in the scroll of life/zoes ζωῆς , he was thrown into the lake of fire.

Rev21:27 and there shall not enter into it anything profane, or that works abomination and falsehood, but only those who are written in the scroll of life/zoes ζωῆς  of the Lamb.

This book/scroll of life can also be called as the book/scroll of the living as it categorizes a set of people whose names are in it.

Jam 1:12 Blessed is a man who endures in his trial, for when he is tested, he shall receive the crown of life/zoes ζωῆς which Yahuah has promised to those who love Him.

Rev2:10 “Do not be afraid in the presence of those things which you are about to suffer. Behold, the accuser are about to throw some of you into prison, so that you may be tested, and you shall have affiction for ten days. Be you faithful until death, and I shall give you a crown of life/zoes ζωῆς.” 

The crown of life is not limited to one person but given to a category of people, hence, it can be termed as crown of the living.

1Pe3:7 Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, you are giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as they also have a part in the inheritance of the gift of life/zoes ζωῆς, so that your prayers be not hindered.

The wives are plural who have part in the inheritance of the gift of life.

The Aramaic word used is דחיא /dachaya which is a masculine plural form and is used in all the verses where the Greek word 'zonton ζώντων' is used except in one place (Rom 14:9) which also is translated as 'living'.

Remember, it says Aluahym is the Aluahym of the living, for to Him ALL LIVE. 

Luke20:36 “For they are not able to die any longer because they are equivalent to messengers; they are sons of Elohim, being sons of the resurrection.”

Luke20:37 “At the thornbush Mosheh also was hinted that the dead would rise, when he called out, YAHUAH the El of Abraham, and the El of Yitschaq, and the El of Ya’aqob.”

Luke20:38 “The Elohim is not the El of the dead but the El of the living/(Hebrew: Chayim חים Greek: zonton ζώντων & Aramaic: דחיא /dachaya); for all are ALIVE (Greek uses singular: zoe ζῶσιν, Hebrew uses plural: Chayim / חים living) to Him. 

Ex3:6 He said also, I am the El/Elohey of your father/Abiyak, the El/Elohey of Abraham, the El/Elohey of Yitschaq, and the El/Elohey of Ya’aqob. Then Mosheh hid his face, for he was afraid to look at the Elohim.

Speaking of the resurrection Yahusha tells the Sadducees who don’t believe in resurrection of the dead, showing the earthy woman representing Yasharal who died childless in the Shemitah of marriage with the 7 brothers as per Torah of the dead brother, transitions as the SONS OF ALUAHYM (Luke 20:36) IN HIM i.e., HIS RESURRECTION. Remember Shaul in Romans 7 shows us that the woman was freed by her husband from the Torah of her husband (as he had sent her away with a certificate of divorce) by His death, and she was re-married to Him who was raised from the dead in the new order.

Rom7:3 Therefore, while her husband lives, if she becomes to another man’s, she shall be called an adulteress, but if her husband dies, she is free from the Torah, so that she is not an adulteress because she becomes to another man’s.

Rom7:4 Therefore, my brethren, you also were to die to the Torah through the body of the Mashiyach, to become to another one, to Him who was raised from the dead, so that we should bear fruit to Elohim.

Shaul also teaches, as the woman was from the man, the man is also from the woman. This shows the unfolding of the mystery of the husband & the Son IN THE ADON.

1Cor11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without woman, neither is the woman without the man, in the Adon (Master).

1Cor11:12 For as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. But all these things are from the Elohim.

Isa8:18 Behold, I and the children whom YAHUAH has given me are for signs/AUTH and for wonders/mupathim   מופתיםin YASHARAL from YAHUAH of hosts, who dwells on Mount Tsion.

The word mupath H4159 is a wonder of piercing as a future event as the root word ‘path/ פת’ means to ‘pierce or as in make a hole’

H6596 ‘patah/פתה’ means a socket where a rod is inserted into a hole, it also means a ‘secret place’. The children given to Yahusha makes Him the Father who manifested in the flesh as ‘The SON’ who was pierced for Yasharal. A secret was concealed in the nails creating the holes in his hands and his feet.

Heb 2:13 and saying, I shall put My trust in Him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom YAHUAH has given to Me.

The children were given to Yahusha for SIGNS, the word ‘authuth’ is plural showing the multiple fulfilments on the roles as Father, Son & Husband of Yasharal.

Speaking of the Resurrection Yahusha says Moshe was hinted that He is the EL (singular) of YOUR FATHER (singular) / ABIYAK, the EL (singular) of Abraham, the EL (singular) of Yitshaq, the EL (singular) of Yaaqob. The ELOHIM (plural) is not the EL of the dead but the EL of the LIVING for all are ALIVE to HIM. Isn’t Abraham, Yitshaq and Yaaqob dead and waiting for the resurrection? They being dead, Aluahym witnesses of their gifts and though dead, they still speak. The example is given of Hebel who Aluahym is witnessing of his gifts.

Heb11:4 By faith, Hebel (Abel) offered to Elohim a better sacrifice than Qayin (Cain), by which he is to testify that he was righteous, Elohim witnessing of his gifts, and through it, having died, he still speaks.

But this is not limited to Hebel as Hebrews 12:1 in continuation of the fathers who are dead & says:

Heb11:13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from a distance, and welcomed them, and rejoiced in them, and confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

Heb11:39 And all these, though having obtained the witness on them through their faith, did not receive the promise,

Heb11:40 because Elohim has expected for us a good advance to what is much better, for those should not made perfect without us.

Heb 12:1 we too, therefore, seeing that we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

We must not confuse this speaking with his blood crying out for vengeance out of the ground because the witness that Aluahym gave was of his gifts.

Heb 12:24 and to YAHUSHA, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of the blood of Hebel.

Luke20:38 “The Elohim is not the El of the dead but the El of the living/(Hebrew: Chayim חים Greek: zonton ζώντων & Aramaic דחיא /dachaya ); for all are ALIVE (Greek uses singular: zoe ζῶσιν, Hebrew uses plural: Chayim / חים living) to Him.

Hence, the fathers are alive in Mashiyach who holds the breath of everlasting life which he will give to all those in HIM, denoted by the plural lives (Hebrew: Chayim & Greek: zonton & Aramaic: dachaya ).

John 5:26 “For just as the Father has life (Greek-singular: ζωὴν zoen) in Himself, so He has also gifted to the Son to have life (Greek-singular: ζωὴν zoen) in Himself.”

The Father’s life is in the Son.

1Joh5:11 And this is the testimony, that the Elohim has given to us eternal life (Greek-singular: ζωὴν zoen), and they have this life (Greek-singular: ζωὴν zoen) in His Son.

Out of the 5 times the Greek word ‘zonton ζώντων’ which is translated as ‘living’, 3 instances are related to this figurative woman who married the 7 brothers and died childless, the Aramaic uses the word דחיא /dachaya in all these 3 instances. The 2 other instances are of Yahusha as Yahuah Shapat (Judge).

Acts10:42 “And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is the One who was appointed by the Elohim as Judge of the living (Hebrew: chayim חים & Greek: zonton ζώντων & Aramaic: דחיא /dachaya ) and the dead (Hebrew: methim מתים , Greek: nekron νεκρῶν) .”

Rom14:9 For to this end the Mashiyach died, and rose up, and lived, so that He should be Adon (Master) both of the dead (Hebrew: methim מתים & Greek: nekron νεκρῶν) and of the living (Hebrew: chayim חים Greek: zonton ζώντων & Aramaic: walchaya ולחיא).

The Aramaic uses 'walchaya ולחיא' in Rom 14:9 which is also a masculine plural form and means 'living.'

The living and the dead are categories of people having the plurality of the lives in Mashiyach and the deaths in Adam. For in Adam all die and in Mashiyach all are made alive.

The Father’s life is in the Son and is SINGULAR and the Son gives this life to all those believing in Him which shows PLURALITY, and even though we be physically dead, yet to Him we all are living for He bears witness of our gifts in HIMSELF.
