Thick Darkness

In scriptures we always see darkness associated with those who are heathen and label them as being outside the covenant. The problem has always been with us seeing the outside rather than introspecting and making our calling and election sure.

 2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

While it is true that the heathen are in darkness, it is also true that those who do not understand his covenant are associated with the darkness. The Light of Gen 1:3 is only seen by those whom the Yahuah will make to come near him, the rest will be outside in the THICK DARKNESS.

Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Alahim moved upon the face of the waters.

The condition of the world with the absence of the LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD (2 Corin 4:6) is seen in the condition stated in Gen 1:2. 'Without form, void, darkness' and above all Spirit of Alahim moving upon these waters of darkness. I read that text so many times before but never saw until now what it means when it says 'the Spirit of Alahim moved upon the face of the waters/deep where there was DARKNESS'.

It was Alahim's intention that not all would see/understand the light of his knowledge which would be revealed through his Son Messiah Yahusha (2 Corin 4:6). The separation of Day from Night, light for Darkness was his ordinance.

David when he was saved from the hand of Saul describes prophetically about this DARKNESS. Saul was the one who prophesied as one of the prophets, the people once spoke of him saying " Is Saul also among the prophets"

1Sa 10:11 And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

But the one who seemed to be a 'prophet of Yahuah' was the enemy of his anointed. He was not on the side of Yahuah but against him, trying to kill his 'anointed'. David prophetically describes the appearance of Alahim who delivered him from his enemy Saul. 

I am taking both these verses from 2 Sam 22:10-12 and Psalms 18:9-11 which are parallel verses and speak of Alahim bowing down the heavens and coming down and darkness being under his feet. Pslams 18:11 says 'He made darkness his secret place and his pavilion round about him were dark waters'. When spiritually compared to Gen 1:2 we see a spiritual picture of Alahim hiding his face with an outer layer of the thick darkness which none of those chosen for salvation will ever get to see.


2Sa 22:10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
 11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
 12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.


Ps 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
 11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

On the other hand Alahim is the one who delivers his people from the great waters of darkness in which are these STRANGE CHILDREN. These strange children are those who have come along with Japehth (father of the Gentiles), while the Gentiles attained salvation and entered the tents of Shem (Gen 9:27), the strange children are those who came along with them and dwelt in the OUTER COURT where there is this thick darkness.

Ps 144:7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;

That is why they are not able to see 'WHO CHRIST IS' because the darkness under the feet of Alahim (prophetically stated in 2 Sam 22:10) makes them only see him as a 'Sacrificial candidate' but they can't see his 'DEITY'. They can't see beyond that thick darkness. While there are others who claim to believe in his DEITY they actually believe in a 'diluted deity gospel' and all part of the distorted pattern.

The elect of Alahim dwell above that darkness, that's why those not chosen for salvation cannot discern who are the elect of Alahim whereas those under the shadow of his wings can discern who the enemies of Messiah are.

Ps 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Ps 31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Ps 25:14 The secret of the YAHUAH is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

In the OT Alahim paints a spiritual picture showing us the difference between those outside of the thick darkness and those who cross that thick darkness to see the LIGHT.

Ps 103:7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

Ex 20:21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where Alahim was.

What is interesting to see is that the law on the tablets of stone came to those who were standing outside viewing the thick darkness

 De 5:22 These words the YAHUAH (Yahuah)  spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

In the law was hidden/sealed the mystery of Alahim

 Joh 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath Alahim the Father sealed.

The 'meat that perisheth' is the understanding which is shadowy/thick darkness which those not chosen for salvation always 'Labor' for and are killed by the 'letter' because they cannot eat the meat which gives everlasting life.

 2Co 3:6 ¶ Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Here is where one has to wisely discern. All these years the various denominations/churches have taught that it speaks of Jews who rejected the gospel of grace, while that is partly true, the fact is all those so called Messiah followers who abide outside of that thick darkness are the carnal Messiahians who cannot see the 'spirit' and do not understand his covenant. They have a different version of the gospel.

They pursue the elect thinking the elect are the enemies of the gospel and persecute them. They would get a shock of their lives when they would see that they are the ones who are deceived into believing a false gospel. This picture can be seen in Egypt (the false brethren of Israel ) pursuing the children of Israel. In my study on this blog 'Gog and Magog' I have shared on this briefly. Here is a portion of that message

'Of the sons of Ham came kingdoms like Babel later named as Babylon, Philistines, Canaanites (Jebusites, Hivites etc) who were arch enemies of Israel. Two such kingdoms I did not mention in my previous study were Egypt & Sodom and Gomorrah. Here is proof from scripture that Egyptians & Sodom & Gomorrah were descendants of Ham.

Ps 105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

Ps 106:21 They forgat Alahim their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
 22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.' End of quote.


To understand who are the false brethren of Israel you may refer to the full study here: http://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.in/2014/02/gog-and-magog.html


In pursuing the children of Israel Alahim shows us the spiritual picture of the thick darkness which came between the camp of Egypt and the children of Israel and while the camp of Israel got the light the camp of Egypt was in thick darkness



 Ex 14:19 And the angel of Alahim, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

 20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.


These are the words of Alahim to Job

Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Alahim shouted for joy?
 8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
 10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
 12 ¶ Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
 14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
 15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

These words are spirit and they are truth. They reveal that when Alahim would lay the cornerstone i.e. Messiah only the morning stars (elect) would rejoice because they would be dwelling in the light but outside are those who can only see the thick darkness which Alahim set as BARS and DOORS where the proud will come upto but no further than that. It's clear as crystal when we compare 'spiritual vs spiritual'.

Ps 132:13 For the YAHUAH hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.
 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.

Solomon built a house for 'Yahuah' and his words seem to say that 'Yahuah' would dwell in the temple he built forever but instead his words were prophetic

2Ch 6:1 ¶ Then said Solomon, The YAHUAH hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
 2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.
 3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
 4 And he said, Blessed be the YAHUAH Alahim of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
 5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
 6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

'David' in verse 6 is 'Messiah' because Alahim promised David that his seed would sit on his throne forever.  The darkness under the feet of Alahim keeps all those not chosen for salvation outside 'Jerusalem' because they just can't see the DEITY of Messiah as defined by Alahim in his word.

Zep 1:14 ¶ The great day of the YAHUAH is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the YAHUAH: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
 15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
 16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
 17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the YAHUAH: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

Joe 2:1 ¶ Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the YAHUAH cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
 2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generation.

When we read the passages from Joel 2 Alahim shows us the picture of  those in the thick darkness who are the false brethren and likens the day of thick darkness in verse 2 'as the morning spread upon the mountains'. These false brethren come along with the elect. Many see the day of the Yahuah as  Great Tribulation, while this is true how many see the 'DAY Of THE YAHUAH' /'Day of his thick darkness revealed? Only the elect do. This is what it means 'the sun turning into darkness and the moon into blood' before the great and notable day of the Yahuah come.

 Ac 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Alahim, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Yahuah come:

When Alahim poured out his Spirit on the day of Pentecost it were the 'last days' and Peter quotes what Alahim said through the prophet Joel and likens what's happened to the 'day of clouds and of thick darkness'. This thick darkness was not seen until the discernment came to his elect who see the rule of the beasts and those giving their strength to the beast.

Re 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

The thick darkness always existed but the understanding of it came in the time appointed by Alahim to be revealed to his servants. There may be many reading this post and yet would only see means to mock and scoff rather than pursue to enter through the thick darkness into the marvelous light.

Ex 15:1 ¶ Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the YAHUAH, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the YAHUAH, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Ex 15:14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
 15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
 16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O YAHUAH, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

Egypt, Palestine, Edom, Moab, Cannanites were all brethren of Israel. They were false brethren and enemies of Israel and of Alahim.

Re 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth

The song of Moses and of the lamb are synonymous and no one could learn that song apart from those who are election of Alahim.

 Re 15:3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of Alahim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Yahuah Alahim Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

Changing the truth for a lie

Man is depraved in nature and in his carnality has been trying to fit Alahim into his religion because he can't see the Pattern Alahim has designed so he makes his own pattern to fit Alahim & his commandments into. Men who is of those who were 'Called' are under more severe judgement because they insist that they know Alahim and his Way but are gone in the way of Cain, Korah and the way of Balaam. Their start seemed right but have gone astray on a journey heaping up for themselves treasure for THE LAST DAYS


Jas 5:1  Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
Jas 5:2  Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
Jas 5:3  Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

While the scriptures above may seem to be addressing the literal rich of the world it's actually addressing those who identify themselves with Messiah and claiming to be rich just as the Rich man in the parable of Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16) wore fine linen and stood symbolically for the Nation of Israel who were rich in the covenants, glory, promises as stated in Rom 9:4

Rom 9:4  Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of Alahim, and the promises;

Jas 5:4  Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Yahuah of sabaoth.

They have heaped for themselves treasure for the last days (deceived into thinking they are saved and ready to meet the Yahuah). They have held the truth (hire of the labourers) in unrighteousness and have suppressed the truth.

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of Alahim is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 
Rom 1:19  Because that which may be known of Alahim is manifest in them; for Alahim hath shewed it unto them.
Rom 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Alahimhead; so that they are without excuse:
Rom 1:21  Because that, when they knew Alahim, they glorified him not as Alahim, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

2Pe 2:15  Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 

Jud 1:11  Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Rom 1:25  Who changed the truth of Alahim into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 

All these 3 men Cain: when he offered fruit of the ground over Alahim's sacrifice of lamb, Balaam when he for money was willing to exchange blessing for a curse & Korah being a Levite despised his priesthood for mediatorship rebelling against Moses and leading the rebellion, all these 3 tried to change the truth of Alahim into a lie, a very similar thing which so called followers of Messiah are doing today by trying to change Alahim's laws to suit their doctrinal bias.

Dan 7:25  And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. 

There is so much likeness in the carnal man with Satan who also is behind changing Alahim's Pattern. The CARNAL MIND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD but against it.

Rom 8:5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 
Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 
Rom 8:7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against Alahim: for it is not subject to the law of Alahim, neither indeed can be. 

The elect who obey his commandments are labelled as cults and are mocked upon for obeying Alahim's commandments.

2Th 2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 
2Th 2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Alahim, or that is worshipped; so that he as Alahim sitteth in the temple of Alahim, shewing himself that he is Alahim. 
2Th 2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 
2Th 2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 
2Th 2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 

Mystery Babylon has always been working as a spiritual kingdom right from the garden of Eden but was restrained to be unleashed in the LAST DAYS where those who were rich got their riches corrupted and their gold and silver cankered by their not loving the truth.

2Th 2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
The claim of being a spiritual Jew is false because a true Jew would show love and obedience towards Alahim's Pattern.

Rev3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 

All those who have departed from the churches are seeing the 'falling away' mentioned in 2 Thess 2 as the 'Church' but not within themselves. They have come out with the same beliefs as of the church. 
What is incredible is that Alahim doesn't leave his elect but reveals truth to them in his mercy. What's remarkable to see the words 'son of perdition' as stated in 2 Thess 2 which readers think are the Pastors and elders ruling the church. Son of perdition are all those who exchange the truth for a lie beginning from the beast himself.

Job 17:2  Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? 
Job 17:12  They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 

Rev 17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. 

Joh 17:12  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 

The evidence of these 'sons of perdition' is seen in they giving their strength to the beast to blaspheme Alahim's name, his tabernacle and those who dwell in it.

Rev 13:6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against Alahim, to blaspheme his name (Alahim's name), and his tabernacle (his Pattern), and them that dwell in heaven (elect in his kingdom). 


They change his name, his pattern and persecute his people without realizing what they are doing

2Th 2:12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 

Isa 4:1  And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. 
Isa 4:2  In that day shall the branch of the YAHUAH be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. 

Mystery Babylon is within not outside and that's what people don't understand. They see themselves as righteous and others in error. We mus introspect to make our calling and election sure.

'Changing truth of Alahim into a lie' are against his NAME which he gave as a MEMORIAL to all generations. They take the meaning of the name and the glory behind it but want to leave out his true name exchanging it with 'Baal'. The moment his name is changed, the glory fades away. They don't understand that you take out his name the glory departs away. They fail to see that Eliyah called on the name of 'YAHUA' and fire came down from heaven and licked up even the water in the trough

1Ki 18:24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the YAHUAH( Yahuah): and the Alahim that answereth by fire, let him be Alahim. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

Imagine Eliyah calling on the name which is not given by Alahim, would Alahim answer him? Wouldn't he too be labeled as a Baal worshiper. People are into so much of dilution business. They accuse me as a Name cult without understanding that Alahim gave us his NAME to call upon to be SAVED, not me. They also accuse that I'm teaching Hebraic words sanctity. I'm not teaching, Alahim's word teaches us the spiritual meanings behind the terminology he used describing him and his people by their heritage in HIMSELF setting himself apart from other gods. You cannot call Alahim 'Holy Joe' can you? Wouldn't that be disrespectful. While it may seem funny to some because no one ever must have called him by that name, would it be justified to call him with names which are derivations of carnal men's translations?

We are on the NT side but nothing has changed. The law is not ABOLISHED but fulfilled by CHRIST. He obeyed it perfectly. Messiah himself uses the same terminology used for an Israelite. Who do you suppose he is addressing 'synagogue of Satan'? Those who call themselves Jews but are not.

 Re 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

 Re 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Paul gives us a definition of who a true JEW is:

Ro 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of Alahim.

 Php 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship Alahim in the spirit, and rejoice in Messiah YahuahSHI, and have no confidence in the flesh.

While a Jew who was outwardly called on the name of Yahuah without understanding the MEMORIAL of his name as Yahusha remained bound in the letter, even so it is now. There are those who call on the true name but are associated with pagan doctrines. Whether this or that, Alahim's pattern doesn't change. You cannot rename Alahim's name, his laws and commandments. Only heathen do that. You can't look at people's actions and decide what you will choose to call him. You simply obey him. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Joe 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the YAHUA shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the YAHUAH hath said, and in the remnant whom the YAHUAH shall call

Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Yahuah (YahuahSHI) shall be saved

You change the name to anything else and you are not calling on the name of the Yahuah but another god who cannot save you. The glory of Alahim is associated with his NAME. You can't leave out his name and expect his glory to come down.


Joh 12:28  Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 


Depraved mind sees Heb 1:4 to find a way out of calling on Yahusha's name. Below is the word to word from Greek to English

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

Came to pass (ginomai) so great (tosoutos) better (kritetohn) that (ho) messenger/angel (aggelos)  as many as  (hostos) inherit (klayronomeho) surpassing (diaphoros) name (onoma) along/with (parah) them (autos)

Heb 1:4 needs to be read in a spiritual vs spiritual understanding: Angels used in Mediation as ' Michael'  (Miyka'el) means 'one who is like Alahim',  'Gabriel' (Gabriy'el) meaning 'valiant man of Alahim' Lucifer (heylel) meaning ' morning-star of Alahim' had names attested to title called Alahim which in Hebrew means 'EL'

Ex 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of EL Shadday, but by my name Yahuah was I not known to them.

The Son of Alahim has a name which is derived from the NAME OF GOD and not to a title 'EL' and the name Alahim gave was 'YAHUA' and that's why he has obtained a more excellent NAME than ANGELS according to Heb 1:4  The next verse of Heb 1:5 says "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

We read in John 12:28 where Alahim tells he has glorified his name and will glorify it again. Alahim glorified his name 'Yahuah' when he brought Israel out of Egypt by his strong arm and here Alahim is saying he would glorify it again as 'YahuahSHI' because he would save his people from SIN.

The Son came out from Alahim's own bosom bearing his name. The name 'Yahusha' was not Hebrew name to begin with and it's not a name derived from Alahim's name 'Yahuah'. The depraved mind went to even say David called Alahim 'Baal perazim' and Alahim was pleased with that name he called him. That's how depraved and carnal man is. Changing the truth of Alahim for a lie.

2Sa 5:20 And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The YAHUAH hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.

'Baalperazim' means Alahim has 'thrust through Baal like a breach'. David was in no way seeing a spiritual reputation or glory in associating Alahim's holy name to a pagan god 'Baal'. That's abominable to even think.

Ps 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

Derivation of the Name YAHUSHA

His name came to be rendered Yahshua, Yahushua, YaOwHuSHuA,YWHWSHUA, however, none of those renderings accurately vocalize the Hebrew name [vwhy.

What is important to note is names don’t translate but transliterate. 

Meaning of transliterate: write or print (a letter or word) using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language.

"names from one language are often transliterated into another"

The problem lies that men are translating names instead of transliterating and Satan has used this against getting a name not derived from 'Yahu' and has even been behind in changing the name ' Yahu' to Jehovah or Jah in English.

The name Yah was suppressed by adding 'eh' to it by Jews because they feared using 'Yah' and thus you find the names ' Jeshua' as in Ezra, Nehemiah's time which is actually 'Yeshua' and was then adopted in Aaramic. This name is spelled by the letters [vwhy which are the letters called yuhd, hay, vav, sheen, ayin. The name as originally written did not have vowel points. The vowel points were added by the rabbis around the tenth century of the common era to aid in remembering how they pronounce the Hebrew. The rabbis pronounced this name as "Yahusha" and so gave the vowel points for this pronunciation so that in today's Masoretic Hebrew text it appears as [;vuAhy

But the rabbis' pronunciation is not inspired. Just as it is a commonly accepted assumption that the rabbis intentionally scrambled the vowel points under the name of Elohim hwhy (Yahuwah) in order to conceal its proper vocalization, it is also likely that to continue to hide the correct pronunciation ofhwhy (Yahuwah), the rabbis intentionally mispronounced [vwhy and therefore gave this name the wrong vowel points to propagate this mis-vocalization. 

Additionally, there are Hebrew names which use the first three letters of the name hwhy - namelywhy. Yeshayahu Why"Ã¥[.v;(y> (Isaiah in Isaiah 1:1). Yirmyahu Why"ßm.r>yI (Jeremiah in Jer 1:1) and Eliyahu WhY""liae (Elijah in 1 Kings 17:1) all attest to the correct pronunciation of the first three letters of the Name. In each of these three names, the last three letters ‘why’ are pronounced "Yahu." The rabbis pronounce these same letters in Joshua's name as "Yeho"!. The first part of Messiah's human name [vwhy is "Yahu. The final part of Messiah's Hebrew name is traditionally rendered "shua", but this too is incorrect. The "oo" (u) part of this is the pronouncing of the rabbinic vowel point between the sheen and the ayin. The vowel points were not part of the original spelling of the Hebrew. These "vowels" were added by the rabbis more than a millennium after the Scriptures were written. So, if we remove this uninspired rabbinic vowel pointing and pronounce only the original inspired spelling of this name, we should be pronouncing this last part of his name as "sha."

First, we note that the names for the prophets Yesha-yahu Why"Ã¥[.v;(y> (Isaiah in Isaiah 1:1) and Elisha [v'Ûylia/- (Elisha in 1 Kings 19:16) both affirm that "sheen" followed by "ayin" is correctly pronounced "sha." Yeshayahu has the same meaning as [vwhy . Yeshayahu means "he saves, (that is) Yahu", while [vwhy means "Yahu saves." Elisha' has the meaning, "My El saves." The Hebrew word [;Wv (shua) has two distinct meanings. The first is "cry for help, scream" And the second is "opulence, wealth, rich, affluent." Certainly, the "shua" ending on Messiah's name is not possible, else his name would mean, "Yahu is crying for help".The Hebrew root from which the name comes is [v;yO: [v;y†' ("yesha" or "yasha"). This word means "help, deliverance, salvation." The [v ending of the word "yesha" clearly has the "sha" vocalization. Thus, Messiah's name has the same vocalization since it was taken from the root word, "yesha" - to save.

Putting it all together, we take the "Yahu" which is demonstrated to be the common pronunciation of "yud, hay, vav" and the "sha" which is the common pronunciation of "sheen, ayin" and we arrive atYahusha. Thus the Messiah's correctly spelled and pronounced name is not "Yahusha" nor "Yahushua" nor "Yahshua" but rather,Yahusha, which translated means, "Yahu saves.

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 createdin 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.
