Face of the Father

In the study on this blog 'Cherubs guarding the Pattern' we saw how Alahim used the Angelic Mediation to represent him till the promised seed came who was his true representation as Col 1:15 says that he is the image of the invisible Alahim. We saw that the law was given through angelic mediation in the hands of a mediator.

Act 7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 

Gal 3:19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 

Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 

Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Yahuah (Messiah), and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 

In this study we will see who is the 'Face of the Father' which the angels saw beholding it in heaven as stated in Matthew 18:10 in spiritual vs spiritual comparison.


The law was given to Moses who was the mediator and the people entreated that they not hear Alahim's voice lest they die and even Moses said he exceedingly feared and quaked-so terrible was the sight.

Heb 12:21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 

Yet he received this with Angelic Mediation. A similitude of Yahuah


 Nu 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the YAHUAH (Yahuah) shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 

Hold your breath if you say this was Messiah. Please read and re read Rev 1:1


Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Yahusha Messiah, which Alahim gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; 
and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 


People here would now accuse me saying I said that the angelic mediation was done away with as it stood as a shadow until Messiah came who is the true representation of Alahim. He is the image of the invisible Alahim. Yes the shadow was done away with. It's a book of prophecy with signification (sealed prophecy) given through Angelic mediation because no man has seen the glorified Messiah, his DEITY is hidden and is like a water mark which carnal men will never see.

Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Yahusha: worship Alahim: for the testimony of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy. 

It was a SIGNIFIED BOOK (imageries, spiritual and word pictures, symbolisms, parabolic etc) and only as Alahim would open the eyes of his elect would they understand. How did John receive it?


Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Yahuah's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 

The Signification by an angel is an indication that the mystery of Alahim which was opened to the elect still remains a mystery for those not chosen for salvation. That's why at the voice of the 7th angel the mystery of Alahim will be completely unfolded.


Re 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Alahim should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. 

Re 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Yahusha Messiah, which Alahim gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

The Revelation of Yahusha Messiah which Alahim gave unto him (spirit of prophecy) TO SHOW UNTO HIS SERVANTS

Now let's read Jude 1:9 parallel to Zec 3 

Jud 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Yahuah rebuke thee. 


in the spiritual comparison with

2Pe 2:11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Yahuah. 


Isn't it clear with so much evidence that the Angels stood guarding the Pattern and the Pattern is Messiah who is the image of the invisible Alahim. If not then it makes so sense that there is a comparison made between him and Angels

Heb 1:4 ¶ Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

The shadow for mediation vs the reality that the mediator did not take on angels but the seed of Abraham. An act of will is displayed when it says 'took not on'. 


Heb 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to Alahim, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

You and me have no choice to take on something-we were created but he was not. The plan of Alahim is revealed through the Mediator who represents both parties and is PERFECT because we are not come to Sinai where a beast should be shot through if it touched the mountain. So terrible was the sight and yet it was a similitude of Alahim in Angelic representation.

Heb 12:18 ¶ For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

We are come to a Alahim who can be now HANDLED and yet we are not stoned or consumed. That's his mercy.

1Jo 1:1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;


Unitarians look at his simplicity and their minds have been corrupted because they have missed their Creator to demean him attributing him as a creature.

2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.


Once the PATTERN comes the shadow which stood for the Pattern must bow down to him in worship because the Pattern is TRUE REPRESENTATION OF GOD HIMSELF which creature lacks.


Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into THAT WORLD, he saith, And let all the angels of Alahim worship him.

The creature be it angels or mankind who connect to him are connected to Alahim's hupostasis because he is Alahim to man, without him no creature could connect to Alahim's transcendent hupostasis. Whoever tried was stoned to death or killed instantly. That's the point.


In the creation account in Genesis is hidden Alahim's true Pattern in the shadow i.e. the Heavenly in the Earthy, the Eternal in the Temporal.

Alahim did not create LIGHT on day one, he brought forth the light to his creation which already existed i.e. the light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim. This utterance was prophetic because the lights ruling the creation sun, moon and stars were not created on Day 1 but on day 4

Ge 1:14 ¶ And Alahim said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And Alahim made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And Alahim set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Alahim saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.


From day 1 to day 4 the elect creatures (prophetic as none were yet created but were in his purpose as Eph 1:4-5 states) was lit by the glory of Alahim until Alahim showed his purpose of designing this universe by sealing the manifestation of this Light to be revealed through the face of Messiah when he created temporary lights to rule the day and night. The signification of mediation was instituted in which was hidden the true mediation which would be revealed through Yahusha.

The NIGHT of Gen 1:4-5 is spiritual and corresponds to the darkness which is absence of light for all those who would not be chosen for election by grace and the Light would be seen by all those chosen for his grace.

Ro 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Alahim by creating the temporal creation to make way for the new creation is prophetically showing the NEED FOR a SAVIOR to redeem his elect creation from the absence of this light/night/darkness by subjecting the creature to vanity by subjecting the same in hope as Paul says in Rom 8:20.

2Co 4:6 For Alahim, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim in the face of Yahusha Messiah.

In other words Alahim was prophetically manifesting the light of the knowledge of his glory in MEDIATION and this was the PATTERN which was purely spiritual. A relation to his OWN TRANSCENDENT HUPOSTASIS. The true Mediator who would come out of his own constitution as the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON would bring forth this hidden wisdom/light through himself being face to face with creation.

Ge 2:4 ¶ These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the YAHUAH Alahim made the earth and the heavens,

That's why we have Alahim recording in Gen 2:4 that he created the HEAVENS and THE EARTH (referring to the New creation we would be by being in Messiah) in the day he made the earth and the heavens (Temporal creation being subject to vanity not willing by the creature but by the reason of HIM who subjected it in hope Rom 8:20).

Col 1:27 To whom Alahim would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory


2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

This was the Pattern I am talking about which Alahim guarded all along. All the mediation that happened until Messiah the true mediator came stood as a shadow. Alahim wouldn't go against his own pattern by revealing his face to his creature before the APPOINTED TIME.

Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in Alahim, who created all things through Yahusha Messiah:


This doesn't mean that Yahusha was created but would come out of Alahim being related to his own substance and hence ruling as GOD in the new creation image. Adam as a created being made of dust lacked connection to Alahim's hupostasis but Messiah as the heavenly is related to his hupostasis because he came out from him (John 16:27, 17:8).

This is the spiritual vs spiritual and outside of the spiritual is the carnal man who cannot see the Pattern and hence falls short of the glory of Alahim. 
If Messiah did not come out from Alahim being related to his hupostasis then my faith in him will not connect me to Alahim and hence my faith is in vain and Messiah being a creature would be also subject to vanity and then who would he HOPE IN to save him? as per Rom 8:20

So Messiah has to be excluded from being a creature as per Rom 8:20.
Lastly if Alahim designed it this way then all his appearances in OT were through signification or else we are making Alahim a liar who said that the fellowship of his mystery was revealed through the apostles and the prophets.


Unitarianism falls headlong because Unitarian's teach that Messiah was a creature and so that makes Messiah the hope giver subject to vanity himself? How can one believe in a pitiable Messiah who is himself subject to vanity who has no connection to Alahim's own transcendent hupostasis?

Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 ¶ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from Alahim, whose name was John.
7 The same (John the Baptist) came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

The creation account has in it the hidden purpose of Alahim. While Unitarians are seeing the witness to the light they are not willing to see the LIGHT himself.

A good start will be if they identify what the light is between day 1 and 4 because the time keepers were not yet created. If one see's that light as created light then was Alahim created because he himself is that LIGHT

1Jo 1:5 ¶ This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that Alahim is light, and in him is no darkness at all.


Don't you see the Mediation of this LIGHT in the Son and from him to us? Without the missing link (Son) you couldn't have got even one ounce of that light because HE IS GOD's PATTERN being face to face with creation as Alahim to us.

Joh 8:12 ¶ Then spake Yahusha again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Lastly without being connected to that LIGHT he would have darkness in him which would make him subject to vanity as Adam was. This is what Unitariangs are not seeing. Even angels who represented Alahim in Mediation stood as shadows and they couldn't be perfect without Messiah or else if they were perfect they wouldn't be learning about him through the things they see from the church.


1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto 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 Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in Alahim, who created all things by Yahusha Messiah:

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim,

If they were perfect apart from Messiah there was no need for them to get the light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim as they would already have it.

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
 


So whom did Angels see as their Alahim? Does Alahim have a Face?

Scriptures teach Alahim is the MOST HIGH GOD and Most high does mean dwelling above the heavens and the earth. No creature can get there, no not even angels. 


Ps 113:5 Who is like unto the YAHUAH our Alahim, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

Yet the same Alahim humbled himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in the earth IN CHRIST.


Doesn't Matthew 18:10 tell us that Angels behold the face of the Father in heaven?

Mt 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face (prosopon) of my Father which is in heaven.

Heb 9:24 For Messiah is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence (prosopon) of Alahim for us:

KJV translates 'prosopon' as face which is correct but in Heb 9:24 is INCORRECTLY translated as PRESENCE. The correct interpretation would be

Heb 9:24 For Messiah is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the FACE OF GOD FOR US:

Now let's see Angel Gabriel's testimony

Lu 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence (Greek word: enopion: means ' BEFORE') of Alahim; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.

The verse would read Lu 1:19 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand BEFORE GOD

Re 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our Alahim, and the power of his Messiah: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before (enopion) our Alahim day and night.


If we say Gabriel stands before Alahim's face literally then the Devil also stands before his face literally. But that's not true. A simple word look up shows that this standing is 'FIGURATIVE'.

In the book of Job Satan came among the sons of Alahim to appear before Alahim. How are to we understand it? Does it mean Satan has access to be before the throne of Alahim. No not at all. His coming was among the sons of Alahim who gathered before Alahim in worship i.e. here on earth.

I'm not suggesting Gabriel stands in the same way because definitely Gabriel came from heaven and no one has gone up there to see how he stands but what is revealed here is he stood before Alahim in guarding his Pattern and Satan's standing before Alahim was in working against his Pattern.

Matt 18:10 needs to be reading in the spiritual light of Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto 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 Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Mt 18:10 spiritually means is that the Angels who are sent to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation (little ones) see the face of the Father by learning from the work of the Holy Spirit in those chosen for salvation

Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim,

'SEEN OF ANGELS' is parallel to Heb 1:6

Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into THAT WORLD he saith, And let all the angels of Alahim worship him.

The literal seeing the face was when Messiah appeared in the FACE OF THE FATHER IN HEAVEN when he was glorified. Angels beholding the face of the Father in heaven cannot be taken literally but figuratively.

Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of Alahim, and of the Father, and of Messiah;

One can't give the Father a face apart from Messiah?


Angels were definitely in the presence of Alahim but being in his presence doesn't mean he had a FACE. Alahim spoke to angels in the same way he spoke with the prophets and i.e through the spirit of prophecy

Ps 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

Can wind be seen? How was this riding of Alahim upon a cherub? It was through MEDIATION, it was through the spirit of prophecy when angels mediated for him.

Joh 1:18 No man (oudeis) hath seen Alahim at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.


Look up the word in Greek. It means 'NOT EVEN ONE' but KJV translates it as 'No man' because all translators believed in the perfection and fall from there. They believed that 'Angels' were PERFECT.


The verse should read Joh 1:18 NOT EVEN ONE hath seen Alahim at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.


The same word 'oudeis' is used in 1 Tim 6:16


1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which NOT EVEN ONE (oudeis) can approach unto; whom NO MAN (anthropos) hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting.
Amen.


Yes you read it correctly -the Greek word for Man is 'Anthropos' but see how KJV translated 'oudies' as 'MAN' in the first part of the verse. Why? Because they all believed that ' Heaven is inherent to Alahim'. Alahim is beyond the heavens and that is why he is called 'MOST HIGH'. 


It wouldn't make sense for a declaration as stated in Heb 1:6


Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into THAT WORLD, he saith, And let all the angels of Alahim worship him.
Question for you to ponder on? Why would angels desire to look down into the church when they would have already been in a PERFECT ENVIRONMENT beholding the face of the FATHER? If they looked down that shows their knowledge was not PERFECTED until they saw who their Alahim was.

Paradox in Ezekiel 28 passages

Alahim is invisible and intangible and no eye has ever seen him or approached him. Not even the angels.

1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man (oudeis) can approach unto; whom no man (anthropos) hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Oudeis  should be correctly translated as : NOT EVEN ONE

Anthropos is correctly translated as man

1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which NOT EVEN ONE (oudeis) can approach unto; whom no man (anthropos) hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

While words and its translation can be helpful to see but it is important that the spiritual insights come from Messiah. Trinitarism looks at Eternal Son of Alahim and all OT appearances of the Angel of the Yahuah as the pre-existing Eternal Son of Alahim. Reading scriptures at face value would make one arrive to this conclusion.
But then when Alahim gives the insights to see his perspective then comes correction.

Looking at 1 Tim 6:16 that NOT EVEN ONE can approach Alahim shows that he is utterly transcendent and even Angels never saw Alahim until Messiah was risen from the dead and glorified. I may sound off track but this back ground is important to understand the Ezekiel 28 passages so please hold on for some scriptures and then I will straight go into Ezekiel 28.

1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

I have looked up Heb 1:6 word to word in Greek and it clearly says in Greek ‘in the world to come’ which our bible translations (none of them) mention this. Strange isn’t it? That’s why we need the help of Messiah being at his feet always asking him to do the revealing with us having limited access to carnal translations which are works of men.

Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of Alahim worship him.

Here is the original Greek with word to word translation to English

Heb 1:6 ταν δ
ὲ πάλιν εἰσαγάγῃ τὸν πρωτότοκον εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην, λέγει· καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι Θεοῦ.

(Hotan : When ) (de: and/moreover) (palin: furthermore) (eisago: brought) (ho: that) (prototokos: firstborn) (eis: into) (ho: that) (oikoumene: world) (lego: saying) (kai:and) ( proskuneo: worship) (autos: him) (pas: all) (aggelos: messengers) (theos: Alahim)

In English:
 And when futhermore he brought that firstborn into that world saying "And worship him all angels of Alahim"

The world that the firstborn was brought into is in reference to the world to come and this was fulfilled when he was glorified. He was seen as their Alahim for the first time by angels

Heb 2:5 ¶ For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

That's why the writer of Hebrews uses the word ‘PALIN’ which means 'futhermore/again' because Messiah was brought into the world we live in as a MORTAL and again(Palin) when raised to the world to come revealed as the One true Alahim.

The context of the world is the one to come which was put in subject to MAN and Mankind receives this dominion of that world through transmission from the Son (who took the Intermediate position) to the adopted sons. 


The declaration would make no sense if Angels would have seen who their Alahim was because they would have already seen him and known him.


‘Seen of Angels’ in 1 Tim 3:16 is a further proof of Alahim’s transcendence and his immanence in Messiah.


So all the OT appearances were ANGELS used in mediation by Alahim representing him and thus they spoke as Alahim himself.


Ex 23:20 ¶ Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

Carnal man will not understand spiritual things and hence trinitarism sees these OT appearances as Eternal Son of Alahim because they don’t understand Alahim’s transcendence and his immanence. They would compare scriptures to 1 Corin 10 which says the Rock that followed them was Messiah and neither let us tempt Messiah as some of them tempted and fell and conclude ETERNAL SON OF GOD. I don’t blame them because I was also blinded by this being carnal and not understanding the depth of Alahim’s love and mercy for me in drawing me into the holy of holies.

Please look at 2 aspects from Gal 3:19 to see what I am saying:
     1)      Till the seed should come to whom the promise was made i.e. Messiah
     2)      Law ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator

Ga 3:19 ¶ Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Sinai was on fire as Exodus passages say Alahim had descended on it and the people entreated Moses that they not hear Alahim’s words lest they die and Moses went alone into that thick darkness and he was given the law written by the finger of Alahim and yet we have Paul and Stephen both testifying that the law was given by the hands of the angels in the hands of the mediator.  Alahim has no hands feet, finger etc yet if the law was written on the tablets of stone by the finger of Alahim then it is definitely Alahim but HOW? Through Mediation of Angel of the Yahuah who is not the Eternal Son of Alahim as Trins say.

Act 7:53  Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 

Ex 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of Alahim.

Angels stood in Mediation until Alahim’s exact representative bearing his image i.e. Messiah would come to whom the promises were made and we read in Heb 2:16 that he did not take on Angels but the SEED OF ABRAHAM.  Being glorified and brought into the world to come there was a need for the declaration to the Angels who were reconciled to Alahim in perfection through Messiah “Let all the angels of Alahim worship him” because they were seeing the Alahim they mediated for, for the first time.

Lastly please look at Zec 3 passage where the Angel of the Yahuah who spoke as Alahim saying “Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment”

Zec 3:4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

This angel also said Zec 3:2 And the YAHUAH said unto Satan, The YAHUAH rebuke thee, O Satan; even the YAHUAH that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

Jude records this as the archangel of the Yahuah as Michael

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Yahuah rebuke thee.

The body of Moses was not the literal body of Moses as tradition blindly teaches but the imperfection of high priesthood assigned to sinful man according to the law and the raiment will be changed (high priest hood changed) by Messiah who is the perfect high priest not of this tabernacle and the one who is the only one who descended and ascended far above all things that he might fill all things. Satan would be rebuked by him. The shadows and types will all be done away with once the reality came and the shadows would continue based upon the promise of sanctification of the priests in Messiah. So we see here the Mediation of Michael the arch angel who spoke as Alahim yet did not bring a reviling accusation against Satan.

Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

We can understand the gathering of IMPERFECT creatures in Messiah on earth but who are these creatures in heaven who needed a GATHERING in Messiah. Weren’t we taught angels were perfect creatures?

1Ti 5:21 I charge thee before Alahim, and the Yahuah Yahusha Messiah, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

I am not teaching ‘election by grace’ for angelic beings but am showing the imperfection of any creature apart from CHRIST. PERFECTION ONLY COMES FROM CHRIST.

The Angelic Mediation stood as a SHADOW and imperfect until Messiah came who is the IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, the one and only true mediator. The Pattern that was guarded by Alahim throughout all ages in his hidden wisdom which is now revealed.

Ps 18:10 And he (GOD) rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

Now with the back ground understood let’s see an overview of Ezekiel 28 passages:

Once we have understood that things in heaven were not yet reconciled to Alahim in Messiah the Angelic mediation stood as a Shadow for Messiah. The Shadow is never perfect.

Wisdom, beauty apart from Messiah is not perfect wisdom or beauty and hence the language is PARADOX.
Because Satan who was a Covering Cherub in Mediation for Alahim and was lifted up in pride and desired the seat of Alahim, Alahim said this of him.

Eze 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Yahuah GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a Alahim, I sit in the seat of Alahim, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not Alahim, though thou set thine heart as the heart of Alahim:

Can Satan be compared to Alahim’s elect Daniel who was the wisest among all the ancients and understood the hidden mysteries of Alahim ? So much as so that Alahim told him to shut up the words and seal the book as only the wise would understand? Daniel was the wisest of all who understood the events of GT as shown to him.

Eze 28:3 Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:

Da 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

If Satan would be wiser than Daniel he would submit himself to the will of Alahim and not rebel against him. He wouldn’t have crucified the Yahuah of glory.

1Co 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of Alahim in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which Alahim ordained before the world unto our glory:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Yahuah of glory

Lastly
Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Ezekiel 28:15 sounds as contradiction to what I am saying but again please look up the word for ‘till’ in Hebrew. It can be translated as ‘yet’, ‘and’, ‘unto’ so translators who always believed in perfection of Alahim’s creation and then the fall would obviously use ‘till’ there. But once you understand that no creature apart from being in Messiah can be perfect can you understand that Satan couldn’t have been perfect apart from Messiah.

Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, YET iniquity was found in thee.

To make the case stronger Messiah says ‘He was a murderer from the beginning”. “He abode not in truth”.

Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

From day 1 he was imperfect and in the testing program of his Mediation being a Covering Cherub he failed. The word ‘first estate’ in Jude 1:6 is the same word used in John 8:44 as ‘beginning’

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

He left his own habitation by his crookedness. What may seem 'POSITIVES' in Ezekiel 28 are actually his ‘DEFICIENCIES’ because apart from Messiah there is no perfection for any creature be it angels or mankind.

Hence 'Sealest up the Sum' is not Satan being a Pattern for anyone to follow but the opposite. The One who Stops the Pattern/tries to destroy it. Messiah is the true Pattern

Mother of all Living-Part 1


Gen 3:20  And Adam called his wife's name Eve (Chauah); because she was the mother (am) of all living (chay).

The creation account and the sin of Adam and Eve has lot of spiritual truths hidden in it. In this study we will focus on how the Mother of living became the mother of all serpents in bringing forth children who were accursed while Aluahym worked through her seed in redeeming her from the curse of being the mother of serpents to be saved in child bearing.
When we read the creation of woman who was taken out of the man we see that her name is not mentioned. Even Adam calls her “Woman” -H802 אִשָּׁה until after the sin he then names her Chauah/EVE-H2332 .

Eve: Chauah -Chet (Separated) has root word chu/chay which means life. Since Chauah was taking out from the resh (Adam) and typifies the assembly taken out from the Resh (Yahusha) the pcitograph of Chauah shows 'seperated life'.


Eph 5:29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Master also does the assembly,

Eph 5:30 because we are members of His body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 
Eph 5:31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking concerning the Mashiyach and the assembly.   

The same word also means 'Declare'. The Woman 'Chauah' declares the breath of the Resh.





Gen 3:12  And the man said, The WOMAN/ashah-H802 whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

The  word in ashah also means 'fire' -H800. A fire as well as an offering made by fire. The picture is of the man Yahusha the husband through whom his elect who is his bride and is the Mother Yerushlayim from above ascends up in the one sacrifice of Yahusha ha Mashiyach.

What is the spiritual significance of a Mother?

Mother-H517: AM: Alaph Mem




The word 'AM' is used for binding/glue/arm

AHLB definition for Glue: 'The pictograph represents strength. The m is water or any other liquid. Combined these pictographs mean "strong liquid". Glue was made by placing the hides and other animal parts of slaughtered animals in a pot of boiling water. As the hide boiled, a thick sticky substance formed at the surface of the water. This substance was removed and used as a binding agent'


AHLB definition For Arm:  The arm that holds things together. The arm is seen as glue that encircles and holds together. A cubit was the length of the arm from elbow to fingertip. The mother of the family is the one who binds the family together by holding in her arms and by the work of her arms. 


AHLB definition for Mother: One whose arms hold the family together through her work and love. Also one who fulfills the role of a mother. 



The Hebrew word used for living is ‘chay’ which means LIVING.




Chay: Chet (Separated) Yod (Hand) : 'Separated by the hand'

'Chauh am chay' (Mother of living) put together : 'The one separated from the life of the resh whose arms holds the family together of the ones separated by the hand'

This same word 'chay' is used in Gen 3:1 and is translated there as BEAST instead of LIVING.

Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast (CHAY) of the field which the YAHUAH Alahim had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Alyahym said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

    The word ‘SERPENT’ used is symbolic and describes a crooked nature and not that Satan came in the form of a serpent to deceive EVE (Chauah). In my previous studies on my blog ‘Cherubs Guarding the Pattern’ I have shared on Ezekiel 28 how the COVERING CHERUB was in the garden of Eden and distorted the PATTERN to Eve in deceiving her. Ezekiel Chapter 28 describes him as being in Eden the garden of Aluahym & the one who walked up and down the stones fire, the one who corrupted his wisdom. In the study ‘Guarding the Pattern’ I mentioned about how the tribe ‘Dan’ tried to distort Aluahym’s pattern by setting up their own priesthood indulged in idolatry and this was what was prophesied of Dan.

Eze 28:12  “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the sovereign of Tsor, and you shall say to him, ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “You were sealing up a pattern, complete in wisdom and perfect in loveliness. 
Eze 28:13  “You were in Ěḏen/Adan, the garden of Elohim. Every precious stone was your covering: the ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, shoham, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald and gold. The workmanship of your settings and mountings was prepared for you on the day you were created. 
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. 

Gen 49:17  Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that bites the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.

‘Dan’ acted in the same way Satan did  by ‘DISTORTING THE PATTERN’.  Many of the Pharisees and Sadducee's  that came to be baptized by John the Baptist , he called them ‘brood of adders’ because they were distorter' s of Aluahym’s pattern.

Mat 3:7  And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 

Now let’s compare Ezekiel 28 vs Gen 3:14

Eze 28:17  “Your heart was lifted up because of your loveliness, you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I threw you to the earth, I laid you before sovereigns, to look at you. 

Gen 3:14  And יהוה Elohim said to the naḥash, “Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all livestock and more than every LIVING/CHAY of the field. On your belly/gachun you are to go, and eat dust/aphar all the days of your life. 

As a Covering Cherub used by Aluahym in MEDIATION representing him he lost this reserved MANNA which angels would get when they would see who their Aluahym is and now he would be cast to the ground and his food would be DUST/aphar.

Psa 78:25  Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in Aluahym, who created all things by Yahusha the Messiah:
Eph 3:10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the assembly the manifold wisdom of Aluahym,
Eph 3:11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Messiah Yahusha our Master:

1Ti 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Aluahym was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Who would be the DUST that would be Satan’s food?

The Hebrew word used for ‘Dust’ there is ‘APHAR’ which means mud/clay and is the same word used for Adam.

Aphar: Ayin (sight) Pey (mouth) resh (first head)

Gen 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust (Aphar)  thou art, and unto dust (Aphar)  shalt thou return.

It's interesting to see the word used in Gen 3:14 for belly which is gachun/גִּחוֹן -H1512 and this very same word is the name of the river Gachon/גִּחוֹן- H1521 which was one of the 4 rivers which flowed out from Adan/Eden.

Gen 2:13  And the name of the second river is Giḥon (English says Gihon as they translate khat to h), it is the one surrounding the entire land of Kush.

Kush was the son of Ham who was son of Noach who was cursed. Kush is Ethopia and he was the one who begot Nimrod from where the kingdom of Babal came, Mitsrayim is Egypt, Put is Libya and Kenaan was the father of the land flowing with milk and honey whose descendants were driven out from their inhabitation by Yasharal and their land given to them to inherit after their bondage in Mitsrayim/Egypt.

Gen 10:6  And the sons of Ḥam: Kush, and Mitsrayim, and Put, and Kena‛an.

While Shem and Yapeth were blessed by Noach, the seed of Ham was cursed.

Gen 9:25  and he said, “Cursed is Kena‛an, let him become a servant of servants to his brothers.” 
Gen 9:26  And he said, “Blessed be יהוה, the Elohim of Shěm, and let Kena‛an become his servant. 

Gen 9:27  “Let Elohim enlarge Yapheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shěm. And let Kena‛an become his servant.” 

The serpent/Shatan would be cast to the ground on his belly/gachun he would flow into using the seed of Ham against the people of Aluahym. Now his food will not be the reserved ‘manna’ which would be for all those elect in Messiah both elect angels and mankind whom Aluahym had elected to be united to him through Mashiyach when Aluahym would be face to face with his creation through His true representation i.e. His PATTERN but shatan's course will be to devour mankind to rebel against Aluahym in distorting the Pattern to them by taking them to another Mashiyach.

Shatan does exactly this and the word APHAR reveals this-he blocks one's eyesight (ayin), puts poison under the tongue (pey) of man (resh).

Eph 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

1Pe 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:

Looking at Eve who was named the mother of all living, Aluahym cursed the woman that he would greatly multiply her sorrow and her conception.

Gen 3:16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

In comparison to what Aluahym says about multiplying Eve’s ‘CONCEPTION’ the carnal mind would think that this is women in the labor room delivering children in pain. Aluahym is not talking about women’s labor pain here. He is talking about her conception in sin producing children who would be like the cunning living of the field (Gen 3:1).

Gen 3:1  Now the serpent was more cunning than any LIVING (chay) OF THE FIELD which the YAHUAH Aluahym had made. And he said unto the woman, has Aluahym said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Psa 51:5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother (AM) conceive me.

Joh 8:44  You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

    Ephraim was a shadow of the seed of the Woman whom she had conceived joining hands with Satan to do his will. In Guarding the Pattern study on my blog I mentioned on how the tribe of Ephraim tried to distort the Pattern by joining hands with Syria & Yasharal against Yahudah in setting up a king in Yahudah whereas Aluahym had promised David that he would establish his throne in Yahudah by making the promise that the Mashiyach would spring out of Yahudah.

Isa 7:5 Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
 6 Let us go up against Yahudah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, 
and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:

Isa 7:7  Thus said the Master יהוה, “It is not going to stand, nor shall it take place. 

Aluahym is faithful to his promises and he had promised David that on his throne the Mashiyach would sit as king forever so Aluahym guarded the pattern. When Ephraim went whoring after other gads this is what Aluahym likened Ephraim to be:

Hos 9:11  As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Hos 9:12  Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Hos 9:13  Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Hos 9:14  Give them, O YAHUAH: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

 Aluahym says in verse 13 that both Ephraim (children of Aluahym) and Tyrus (Satan)  were planted in a pleasant place (within the Pattern as in Eden where there was the tree of life) but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer from conception and that murderer is Shatan. Aluahym was not talking to EVE alone but to the MOTHER OF ALL LIVING i.e. Yarushalam with her children. Their Sorrow and Conception he would multiply in that the Mother of all living would produce children of death and vipers.

Luk 23:28  But Yahusha turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Luk 23:29  For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

Eve and Adam shadowed Messiah and his assembly.

Eph 5:30  For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32  This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Messiah and the church.

Gen 2:23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be 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. 

Yahusha fulfilled the promise in leaving the Fatherhood and Mother Yerushalayim in joining his bride the assembly so that he could fill his bride with the Ruach enabling her to bring forth Mashiyach likeness in her travailing in birthpangs. The physical labor pain just points to the spiritual birth pangs.

The Scripture uses the term ‘WOMAN’ in Rev 12 and other places for Yarushalam with her children. This travailing in sorrow by conception would end as Aluahym promised that the seed of the Woman would bruise the serpent’s head.

Gen 3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Messiah would redeem the Woman by him springing forth from her in her ‘child bearing’ whom Shatan tried to destroy her other seed.

1Ti 2:14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1Ti 2:15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1Co 2:7  But we speak the wisdom of Aluahym in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which Aluahym ordained before the world unto our glory:
1Co 2:8  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Master of glory.

Aluahym ordained it that way –that’s the Pattern. The shadow/earthy reflecting and making way for the reality/heavenly. Death made way for life, Sorrow for joy. The man child would redeem his brethren born of the Mother of all living

Joh_16:21  A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Adam named the Woman  EVE which means ‘Mother of all living’. Messiah will write his new name on his bride, the name which only his people would understand.

Rev_3:12  Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my Alahim, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Alahim, and the name of the city of my Alahim, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Alahim: and I will write upon him my new name.


Rev_2:17  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.


    Those not understanding Aluahym’s Pattern are under deception because they believe in another Messiah which would make one wise to fall short of the tree of life. Shatan deceived Eve in opening her eyes in showing her another Messiah (tree of knowledge of good and evil) which would make her and her husband wise as alahyms. All those following false doctrines/distorted pattern show some form of wisdom but not the wisdom that descends from above.

Jas 3:14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 
      Jas 3:15  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 
      Jas 3:16  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 

    Jas 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 

     Gen 3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
     Gen 3:5  For Aluahym doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as alahyms, knowing good and evil.


     2Co 11:3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.

     2Co 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Yahusha, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
