A Rolling away of reproach by rolling back to Yahuah

Matt 27:33 And when they came to a place called Galgalta, which means Place of a Skull, saying..

In our previous study Hebraic roots or Greek culture we saw various words (we won't go into details of that study) which Greek and other translations couldn't translate and kept the transliteration of these words intact. Among the words Amen, Hosanna, raca etc one such word is Galgalta.

John 19:17 And He went out, bearing His cross, to the place called the Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Galgalta.

On a surface level it's just a place where our Master was crucified but there is a purpose and a deep spiritual meaning rooted in this word which can only be brought forth beautifully when we compare spiritual with spiritual.

First of all we need to get facts right from scripture to find out where Galgalta was.

The Turah says that the sin offering is to be slaughtered north of the altar (Lev 1:11) 

Le 1:11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before Yahuah and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

Galgalta was on Mount Moriah just outside the northern gate of the city of Jerusalem. What happened on Mount Moriah was significant.

Gen.22:2 He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

2Chr.3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of Yahuah in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where Yahuah had appeared to David his father, at the place that David had appointed, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

We have scripture confirming that this was the same place where Abraham offered the ram caught with it's thickets in the place of his son Isaac and had named as Yahuah Yarah which means 'In the mount of Yahuah it will be provided'

Gen 22:14 Abraham called the name of that place Yahuah Yarah, as it is said to this day, in the mount of Yahuah it will be provided.

And this place was on the outskirts of Jerusalem where Solomon had built the house of Yahuah.

Heb 13:12 Therefore Yahusha also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.  

It was the site of public executions in the city used by Romans and Jewish authorities. The Hebrew word 'Galgalta' comes from the root word 'Galgal' which is translated as Gilgal. What was significant about Galgal (Gilgal) ?  

Jos 5:2 At that time Yahuah said to Yahusha (Joshua), Make for yourself flint knives and circumcise again the sons of Yisharal the second time
Jos 5:3 So Yahusha made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Yisharal at Gibeath-haaraloth (hill of foreskins)
Jos 5:4 This is the reason why Yahusha circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way after they came out of Egypt.
Jos 5:5 For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
Jos 5:6 For the sons of Yisharal walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of Yahuah, to whom Yahuah had sworn that He would not show them the land which Yahuah had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Jos 5:7 Their sons whom He raised up in their place, Yahusha circumcised
Jos 5:8 And it came to pass, when all the nation had finished being circumcised, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed
Jos 5:9 Then Yahuah said to Yahushua, This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. So the name of that place is called Galgal (Gilgal) to this day. 

The Hebrew word 'Galgal' means 'to roll away reproach'. Joshua (Hebrew name: Yahusha) led Yisharal accross the Yarden (Jordan) where all the males who crossed over were uncircumcised because the generation of the stiff necked people who were circumcised died in the wilderness with their children crossing over who were uncircumcised. We see Yahuah telling Yahusha (Joshua) that he has 'ROLLED AWAY THE REPROACH' of Egypt from Yisharal, hence the place was renamed from Gibeath-haaraloth  which means hill of foreskins to Galgal (Gilgal) which means 'Rolled away the reproach'.

It's interesting to note that there were four things that happened to Yisharal significantly in this place which was name 'Galgal'

1) All sons of Yisharal were circumcised

2) Yisharal observed their first Passover after crossing over to Canaan at Galgal.

Jos 5:10 ¶ And the children of Yisharal encamped in Galgal (Gilgal), and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

3) The manna ceased after they had eaten of the old corn of the land

Jos 5:11 On the morrow after the Passover, on the selfsame day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.
 Jos 5:12 The manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither the sons of Yisrael had manna any more; but they ate of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.

4) The captain of the hosts of Yahuah met Joshua in this place who asked him to remove his sandals as the place he stood was holy ground.

Jos 5:13 Now it came about when Yahusha was by Jericho (Galgal was besides Jericho), that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Yahusha went to him and said to him, Are you for us or for our adversaries?
Jos 5:14 He said, No; For I now come as captain of the host of Yahuah. And Yahusha fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to Him, What has my Master to say to his servant?
Jos 5:15 The captain of the host of Yahuah said to Yahusha, Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy. And Yahusha did so.

This place Galgal ties up spiritually with what our Messiah did for us at Galgalta. Joshua (Yahusha) was a type of our Master Yahusha. Even his name was Yahusha. What Joshua did on one hill in shadows our Messiah did on another in fulfilling that shadow.

1) That's where our destiny was sealed as we were circumcised in the heart, our reproach rolled away. Hill of foreskins (a physical circumcision) transition to the heart circumcision (Rom 2:28-29,Phil 3:3).
2) Yahusha our Master is our Passover lamb who was sacrificed
3) The manna which gave susteanance in the wilderness journey ceased, now Yisharal would eat the produce of the land, a land flowing with milk and honey. Canaan was a type of Heavenly Jerusalem. 
3) The captain of the hosts of Yahuah is our Master Yahusha himself which will lead armies into battle of the great day of the Almighty. 


Re 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Galgal comes from the root Hebrew word 'gal' which means 'to roll'/'round'

Ps 22:8 He rolls (gal) to Yahuah; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.

Ps119:22 Roll (gal) away reproach and contempt from me, for I observe Your testimonies.

'Galgal' is also translated as 'whirlwind' and 'Wheels' which also shows the rounding/rolling of the wheels and whirlwind.

Ps 77:18 The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind (galgal); the lightnings lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook

Isa5:26 He shall lift up a standard to the distant nation, and shall whistle for it from the ends of the earth; and behold, it shall come with speed swiftly.
Isa5:27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them, none shall slumber nor sleep; nor shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken.
Isa5:28 Its arrows are sharp and all its bows are bent; the hoofs of its horses shall appear like flint and its wheels (galgal) like a whirlwind.  

Galilee (Josh 20:7 'Galyil'), Gilead (31:21 'Galid'), Golan (Deut 4:43 'Goylan'), Gilgal (Galgal) or even Golgotha (Galgalta), all of which have the same root 'gal' which means something round/ a roll. One variation is “galgal”, which is the wheel of a chariot that goes around.  Another variation is “megillah” or roll, like the roll of Jeremiah. 

Jer 36:2 Take thee a roll (megillah) of a scroll, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.

or a roll like YashaYahu (Isaiah)

Isa 8:1 ¶ Moreover Yahuah said unto me, Take thee a great roll (gilayon), and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.

'Galgal' can also mean a whirlwind because the wind whips around in a circle.

Ps 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths (magal) of righteousness for his name's sake.

 From the word 'magal' which has the 'gal' we see Alahim leading a righteous one walking in the cycles of the Torah commandments.  So we can compare how a wagon wheel follows inside the ruts of the road with how one walks in the cycle of the Torah.

Now we add the letter א (aleph) to גל (gal) to form the word גאל (ga’al), which means the bringing around of someone through a buying back or, more simply, “to redeem”.  It can also mean to restore to an original position.  You might recognize the term go’el, the kinsman redeemer, whose role was to redeem or deliver a family member who was in slavery.  Yahusha our Master is our kinsman redeermer who has bought us back.

Now coming to 'Galgalta', why is it called the place of the Skull?

Ex 16:16 This is the thing which Yahuah has commanded, Gather of it (manna) every man according to the mouth of his eating; you shall take an omer for a head (galgalath) according to the number of your souls, each man for those who are in his tent.

Let's review what we learnt 'Gal' means round. 'Galgal' means 'rolled away the reproach'. Now let's view the word 'Galgalath' which means head/skull in Paleo Hebrew:

The word 'Galgalta' and 'galgalath' which means 'head' or the 'skull' have the root word 'galgal' which means 'rolled away the reproach'. We already saw that the word 'galgal' comes from root word 'gal' which means 'round'/'roll'.

'Galgaltha' :  Ga La Ga La Tau : has the word 'Galgal' (which means 'rolled away the reproach') and the letter Tau (which means covenant). Put together 'Rolled away the reproach through Covenant'

 This word 'galgalath' is used in the Turah to show redemption price for each 'head' (head is a rounded skull) of those who crossed over.
Manna-an omer for a head (galgalath)
The gold and the silver in the offering-a bekah for a head (galgalath)
A redemption price-five shekels apiece, per head (galgalath)
Taking a sum (measure) of head

Ex 38:26 a beka for a head (galgalath) (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for each one who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men.

Num3:46 For the ransom of the two hundred seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Yisrael who are in excess beyond the Levites,
Num 3:47 you shall take five shekels apiece, per head (galgalath); you shall take them by the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), 
Num 3:48 and give the money, the ransom of those who are in excess among them, to Aharon and to his sons.

Nu 1:2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their heads (galgalath);

Breaking of Abimelech's skull, exposing of Jezebel's skull, hanging of Saul's head which speaks of the rebellious ones standing against the anointed being destroyed. Thus 'Galgalath' here for them would mean 'Rolled back the reproach through a Sign'. Tau also means Sign/Mark.

Jg 9:53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull (galgalath).

2Ki 9:35 And they went to bury her (Jezebel): but they found no more of her than the skull (galgalath), and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

1Ch 10:10 And they put his (king Saul) armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his head (galgalath) in the temple of Dagon.

Galgalta was the place where Yahusha our Master would pay the redemption price for each head/skull who was appointed to be saved and would destroy every skull of those who stood against him through a Sign/Mark.

Galgalta in Paleo Hebrew:

Ga la Ga la Tau Aleph (Hebrew reads from right to left)

We already saw the meaning of 'Galgal' which means 'Rolled away the reproach' . Now let's view the 'Tau Aleph'

'Tau-Aleph' forms the word 'Taa' which means 'little chamber'. (Please refer to my study on this blog titled 'Tau Aleph -Taa'

Eze 40:4 The man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and set your heart to all that I shall show you. For in order to show you, you have been brought here. Declare to the house of Yisharal all that you see.
Eze 40:5 And behold, there was a wall on the outside of the house all around, and in the man’s hand was a measuring rod of six cubits, with a cubit and a span. So he measured the thickness of the building, one rod; and the height, one rod
Eze 40:6 Then he went to the gate which faced the eastward, went up its steps and measured the threshold of the gate, one rod in width; and one threshold was one rod in width. 
Eze 40:7 And a LITTLE CHAMBER (TAA) was one rod long and one rod wide; and there were five cubits between the LITTLE CHAMBERS (TAA). And the threshold of the gate from beside the porch of the gate, from the house, was one rod.

Ezekiel saw these little chambers in the spiritual temple of Yahuah where the treasures were kept. 9 times in Ezekiel 40 Alahim uses the word 'TAA' for little chambers and shows the dimensions of it as measured by the Messenger whose appearance was as Bronze. You may read it in Eze 40:7,10,12,13,16,21,29,33,36. It's like the heart in which the treasure is and our body is the temple of the Ruach ha Qodesh (Holy Spirit).

In Galgalta we see a beautiful picture of a redemption price being paid for each head in 'Rolling away the reproach (Galgal) in the temple's secret chamber ( heart (Taa)').

The root word 'gal' in 'Galgal' shows the 'rolling back to Yahuah' as seen in Pslams 22:8 & 'rolling away of reproach for keeping Yahuah's testimonies in Pslams 119:22. The rolling back to Yahuah would result in the rolling away of the reproach.

This word is also used in many places as rolling away of stone and we will not look into details of the usage of this word for lack of time.

Satan has been wanting to sit on “the mount of assembly” (har-moyed), or the appointed festivals to be worshipped. The mount of the appointed times is Mt. Moriah of course because that is where the people came to keep the festivals because the Temple was there (built by Solomon), now called the Temple Mount.

Isa14:13 But you said in your heart, I shall ascend to heaven; I shall raise my throne above the stars of AL and I shall sit on the mount of assembly (har-moyed) in the sides of the north.  

Galgalta was on the north side of Jerusalem, in the place as per the requiste as per Turah as stated in Lev 1:11 at the north and that's where Satan wants to make his throne, representing a false messiah and deceiving multitudes.

Satan desires to sit himself on the mount through intelligence and wisdom, the place of the skull or the “battle for the head/skull” by replacing Alahim's Turah with something else. This battle is talked about in Revelation 16:14,16: “For they (the frogs of v13 who speak lies) are the spirits of unclean devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of Alahim Almighty” and v16 says “ and he gathered them together to a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Armageddon is spiritually “har moyed” or the “mount of assembly” or the appointed times where Satan makes his seat in changing times and laws leading people to Torah-less.

Ps15:1 O Yahuah, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill?  

Ps24:3 Who may ascend into the hill of Yahuah? And who may stand in His holy place?  

Only the elect who observe the Turah will abide in his holy hill.

The elect have not followed the lies of all the “frogs” out there who are trying to deceive the nations into letting Satan sit on the mount of assembly and to come and worship him with replacing the Turah. All the rebellious skulls will be broken.

Finally  the letters 'Ga La' which is ' (Gamal: Rich man, Lamed: leading) in the words 'Galgal','Galgalath' and 'Galgalta' shows the 'Rich man i.e the Messiah leading his people back to him'.

May Yahusha bless you to understand this study to help you roll back to him in obedience to his Turah.

Hebraic roots or Greek culture-Part 2

In our previous study Hebraic roots or Greek culture-Part 1 we saw Noach's sons Shem, Ham Japheth populating the whole world and we saw who their descendants were.
With the Gentiles coming into the kingdom we saw the fulfillment of Japheth (father of Gentiles) coming into the tents of Shem .
We saw the besorah (gospel) go out in different languages and on the day of Pentecost. These Jews were surprised and were in doubt. They doubted because Alahim had never spoken to them but through the Hebrew by the mouth of the prophets and here they were hearing the wonderful works of Alahim in their own languages.

There is no doubt that the wonderful works of Alahim was heard in different tongues. But does that mean that now names, feasts, ordinances (I'm speaking of the spiritual observance and not literal) etc would change with believers now adapting the customs of the world by worshiping Alahim in their own way?

We saw Yahusha told the Samaritan woman that salvation is of the Jews. This is not speaking of a literal seed of Abraham but the spiritual seed i.e. those who believe in the Messiah are counted as spiritual Jews.

John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

The message of the cross did go out in different languages but as per the words of the Messiah salvation is of the Jews. This means that the Gentiles coming back to the tents of Shem are the spiritual Jews. The change in them is that they now have Hebraic roots in them and are in their journey back to the tents of Shem not the other way around. Those changing the Turah of Yahuah to the Gentile or Greek customs are not the spiritual Jews.

We saw evidence from scriptures that the Gentiles coming to the faith were engrafted in the same olive tree now having the Hebraic roots

Ro 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

We saw fulfillment of prophecies as stated in YashaYahu (Isaiah) with the Gentiles coming into the tents of Shem now speaking the language of Canaan (language of the fathers which was Hebrew)

Isa 19:18 ¶ In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahuah of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.

Isa 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Yahuah shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam,and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

Yahuah says that he will set his HAND A SECOND TIME to recover the remant of his people from Egypt, Assyria and uttermost parts of the earth.

Those dispersed in the Babel's confusion would now speak the language of the fathers, a pure language by which they would would give esteem to the name of Yahuah.

We also saw the cleansing of the tongue by the pure language and saw the examples of YashaYahu (Isaiah) and Paulos who heard words which was witheld from man to utter.

Isa 6:5 ¶ Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, Yahuah of hosts

2Co 12:4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard concealed/hidden (nis’tariym ) words, which is witheld (nim'na) from man to utter.

In his mercy, be it Ashurit, Greek, Latin, English or any language of the world Yahuah would gather his people unto him thus bringing them back to the tents of Shem.

Ro 1:16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of  the Messiah: for it is the power of Alahim unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

We saw different Hebrew words like Abba, Hosanna, Amen, ephphatha,Corban, raca etc used in translations which Greek couldn't translate these words which shows that the Renewed Testament was written in Hebrew and later translated to other languages.

We also saw Paulos instructions of appointing elders in the church and we looked closely that these elders appointed were Jews and not new convert Gentiles as it is today where we see churches overrun by a Greek-Roman culture into abominations because the church has lost its Hebraic roots in obedience to Alahim's Turah.

We saw a lot of evidence from scriptures on these instructions which we cannot go in detail in this study.

An Overseer of the flock Paul said should not be a novice. Just imagine the Greeks who came into the church who were new converts taking over the church as elders, overseers and deacons, what a chaos it would be because they would not know the law of Alahim or would not have the teaching capability until they spent time searching and learning scriptures taught to them as Titus did who was a Greek and under Paul had learnt and studied the scriptures.

1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

Paul claimed Ac 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I Alahim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

Was Paul lying or had a double standard? No he was honest. He was a Jew and worshiped Alahim of his fathers believing all things which were written in the law and the prophets and taught it to the Gentiles.

In this study we will see these men whom Alahim set apart for himself to proclaim his besorah (gospel) among the Gentiles and that these men kept their Hebraic heritage intact in observing the Turah of Alahim.

1 Corin 9: 20 And I became as a Jew to the Jews, that I might gain Jews; to those

following Turah as following Turah,that I might gain those following Turah;

21 to those without the Turah as without instruction (not being without the Turah of Alahim, but under the instruction of Messiah), that I might gain those without the Turah .

22 I became to the weak as weak,that I might gain the weak. To all I have become all things, that in any and every way every man might be saved.

Shaul was clear in his approach towards winning people to the Messiah, to the Jew he became as a Jew following the Turah and to the Gentiles he approached them as a non Jew but yet not being without the Turah of Alahim but under the instruction of the Messiah who defines the Turah spiritually.

Did you know that Shaul was also known as Paulos which was his Latin nickname?

Acts13:9 But Shaul, who was also known as Paulos, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him,

Who changed Shaul's name? No one, he himself used his nickname because he was called to be an apostle to the Gentiles.

Ro 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

Shaul had Roman citizenship and was from Tarsus, hence under the Roman citizenship he had this Greek-Latin nick name Paulos which he used it to his advantage to win the Gentiles to the Messiah but he was very clear that he was not without Turah towards Alahim but was under the instruction of the Messiah. By the wisdom which Messiah gave him he used his nickname to make Gentiles spiritual Jews

Ac 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paulos said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

That's why you see in all of is epistles he introduces himself as Paulos and not by his Hebrew name Shaul. In his encounter with the Messiah, the Messiah called out his Hebrew name.

1Cor 1:1 Paulos, called as an apostle of Yahushua the Mashiyach by the will of Alahim,

and Sosthenes our brother.

Acts 9:3 As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus,

and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him;

Acts9:4 and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him,“Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me?”

Acts9:5 And he said, Who are You, My master?And the Master said, “I am Yahusha whom you are persecuting,(it shall be hard for you to kick against the prick.”

When witnessing to king Agrippa and in other places Shaul does mention that Yahusha called out to him in the Hebrew tongue.

Acts 26:1 Agrippa said to Paulos, You are permitted to speak for yourself.

Then Shaul stretched out his hand and made his defense...........................................      Acts 26:14 And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew dialect,‘Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.

When he presented his defense of faith in the Messiah to the Jews he spoke in the Hebrew tongue and explained to them his encounter with the Messiah in the Hebrew dialect.

Acts 22:1 Men, brethren and fathers, hear my defense which I now offer to you.              Acts 22:2 And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew dialect,

they became even more quiet; and he said                                                                        Acts22:3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of our fathers,being zealous for Alahim just as you all are today. .............................

Acts22:7 and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, “Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting Me?”

Indeed to the Jew he was a Jew with the Turah and with the Gentiles he was as a Gentile but not without the Turah. The Turah he followed is defined by the Messiah who opens the understanding of what the Turah means.Shaul who became Paulos also testifies that the Messiah who appeared to him to encourage him used his Greek-Latin name relating him to witness in Rome.

Acts 23:11 But on the night immediately following, the Master stood by him and said, “Take courage Paulos;for as you have testified of Me in Yerushalam, so you must witness at Rome also.”

Remember this was the same Master Yahusha who had called out his name in Hebrew when he was heading to Damascus and also the people in Yerushalayim had known his Hebrew name by which he witnessed to them, here the same Master is calling his Greek-Latin name tying up his witness to Yahusha in Rome.We have scripture confirming that Barnaba and Shaul had fulfilled their mission in Yerushalam. Their ministry to the Jews was complete. Now they were on a mission to the Gentiles.

Acts 12:25 And Barnaba and Shaul returned from Yerushalam when they had fulfilled their mission, taking along with them Yahuchanan, who was also called Marqos.

Was Shaul the only one to utilize his Greek-Latin name for winning the Gentiles. There were other Jews also who had the Roman citizenship whom Yahusha chose to witness to him to the Gentiles. Of them was Yahuchanan who was called Marqos, Marqos was his Greek-Latin name.

What about Barnaba?

Acts 4:36 And Yoseph, who was surnamed Barnaba by the apostles

(which is, being interpreted, the son of Encouragement), the man of the house of Levi

which was born in the country of Cyprus,

Yoseph was the Jewish name his Hellinistic parents (Jews settled in Cyprus) gave him but the apostles gave him a NICKNAME (the hebrew word כנוהו ( kinuhu) means nickname) Barnaba which means 'Son of Consolation'. This was an Aramaic name which actually meant 'Son of a prophet'.The Hebrew word 'nachamam' which means 'Consolation' is used by Paulos in 1 Corin 14:3 in respect to the consolation one receives from prophesying.So these men with their Greek-Latin name went out but not without obedience to the Turah of Alahim. They lived among the Gentiles but were not part of their lifestyle but were HEBRAIC in their heritage.

Barnaba along with Shaul was one of the prophets in the church at Antioch.

Acts13:1 Now there were at Antioch, in the assembly that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnaba, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene,

and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Shaul

There is a lot of proof of disciples having pseduo names, these Jews were those who either had Roman citizenship or were Hellnistic Jews who under the Roman regime had their Jewish names hidden when they were accounted for in Roman census in a strange land where they were brought up.Simeon who was called 'Niger' (Niger is a Latin name which means 'black' and from where we have the word 'Neegro') is also a proof of what we have been discussing about.

Acts 15:22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders,

with the whole assembly, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Shaul

and Barnaba, Yahudah (Judas) called Barshabah, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.

Yahudah nicknamed Barshabah was sent with Shaul and Barnaba to Antioch to dispel the confusion among Gentile converts on dabar meats, on circumsicion, food offered to idols etc. Alahim used these men to show his grace to the Gentiles but these men were in no way without the Turah towards Alahim.They were prophets in the church, they carried the instructions of the apostles to the Gentiles, they encouraged the churches of Yahusha.

Acts15:32 Yahudah and Silas, also being prophets themselves, exhorted the brethren

with many words, and confirmed them.

This Yahudah was nicknamed Barshabah which was an Aramaic name.

Acts15:37 Barnaba wanted to take Yahuchanan, called Marqos, along with them also.

Acts 15:38 But Shaul kept insisting that they should not take him with them,

who departed from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work.  

Acts15:39 And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another,and Barnaba took Marqos with him and sailed away to Cyprus. 

Acts15:40 But Paulos chose Silas and left, being committed by the brethren to the grace of Yahuah.

Acts13:13 Now Shaul and his companions loosed from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but Yahuchanan departing from them and returned to Yerushalam.

Paulos and Barnaba had a sharp disagreement between them over Yahuchanan who was nicknamed Marqos who had left their calling into witnessing to the Gentiles and returned back to Yerushalam. Paulos by the instruction of the Turah of Messiah understood this calling that these men accompayning him were committed to the same mission he was called to . But when he saw Yahuchanan called Marqos went back to Yerushalam leaving them in their mission there was a sharp argument with Barnaba who was insistent to take him along with them so much as such that they parted ways.This Marqos was Barnaba's nephew and later Paulos realized and saw the work of his ministry and saw him profitable for the same calling with which he was called and asks Timothy to bring him along with him.

2Tim 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Aleph Tau Marqos, and bring with you,

for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

Col 4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you; and sister’s son Marqos (Yahuchanan) to Barnabas (touching whom you received commandments; if he comes to you, receive him);

Paulos recommends Marqos ministry to the Gentiles and asks the church to receive him if he comes to you. Paulos recommends Yustos also who also had the Greek-Latin pseudo name but was a Messianic.

Col 4:11 and Yahusha who is called  Yustos (Justus), who are of the circumcision,These only are my fellow workers unto the kingdom of the Alahim which have been a comfort to me

Along with Paulos these Jews with Greek-Latin-Aramaic names played a very important role in instructing the assemblies with the instructions they received from the apostles. They preserved their Hebraic heritage in their obedience to the Turah of Alahim. There is a purpose why Paulos introduces these men in his epistles. Alahim shows us that we must never loose our hebraic roots and sets these men as examples for us when it comes to ministering among the Gentiles.

'Destroy Chaos or chaos will destroy you'

Mal 3:16 Then those who feared Yahuah spoke together, one to his neighbor, and Yahuah listened and heard, and a scroll of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear Yahuah and for those who esteem His name (SHEM). 

Hebrew word 'Shem' means 'NAME' and the word 'Shem' consists of letters Shin Mem. Shin means Destroy and Mem means Chaos. Put together 'Destroy Chaos'. 

Alahim gave all of us  intelligence to name our children, to name our pets or animals we take care of. Just imagine what chaos it would have been if none of us had a NAME. 

Gen 2:19 Out of the ground Yahuah Alahim formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called it a living soul, that was its name.  

Gen 2:20 The man gave names (shemoth) to all the BEASTS (ha Behemah), and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

Hebrew word Shemoth: Shin (destory) Mem (chaos) Uau (secure) Tau (covenant): 'Destroy chaos by securing the covenant' 

By naming all the beasts and the birds Adam destroyed all chaos by securing the covenant Alahim made with the creatures when he created them and said "Be fruitful and multiply"

Adam was a figure of the Messiah who would destroy chaos by securing the covenant. We have Pslams 8 confirming this about the Messiah

Ps 8:4 What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? 
Ps 8:5 You have made him diminished (maat) alahim, and You crown him with glory and majesty
Ps8:6 You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all under his feet
Ps8:7 All sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
Ps8:8 The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas

In Hebrews 2:7-9 we see Paul quoting from the Psalms chapter 8 and tying the verses to the Messiah. 

The Hebrew word 'maat': to be or become small, diminished, or few

The vowel points to the word 'maat' made the translators to translate the word as 'little' because the stress on the same word makes it mean differently. You can look up the word 'maat' and 'mehat' in Strongs dictonary 4591 & 4592 is the same word but in some places it's translated as 'little' and in some as 'diminished' /'bring to nothing'.

The Paleo Hebrew displays in Pslams 8 as 'maat' which means 'diminished' and there is no word 'lower', it was added by the translators whereas KJV places the word as 'mehat' which means 'little' and adds the words 'lower than'.

Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moshe, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

We have a confirmation in Rev 2:17 where Yahusha says that he would give his elect a white stone and a renewed name written on that stone and only the one who receives it will know that NAME.

Rev 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, I shall give to eat of the hidden manna, and I shall give him a white stone, and a renewed name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.”  

The renewed name is the Messiah's name 'Yahusha' which means 'Yahuah is my deliverer' and he would give this 'renewed name' on a white stone. When we understand that the 'turah' was mediated by cherubs/angels as stated twice in the Renewed Covenant (New Testament), we have Yahusha saying in Rev 2:17 that he is the one who would give to eat of the hidden manna and the white stone with a renewed name written on the stone. That renewed name is his name which bears the Father's name as stated in the Ten Commandments written on the stone and mediated by angels in the hand of the mediator Moshe. The Mediator of the renewed covenant with a renewed name is the Messiah himself.

Gal 3:19 Why the Turah then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.  

Acts 7:53 you who received the Aleph Tau Turah by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.  

Deut 5:11 You shall not take the name of Yahuah your AL in vain, for Yahuah shall not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.

Alahim has a SET APART NAME so that we differentiate him from other sovereigns. Knowing his 'SHEM' (name) destroys chaos. Not knowing the name, a person would be in chaos and that's what happens to those who do not see the truth stated by Yahusha in Rev 2:17. They see him as a separate, a little lower elohim just made as a ruler over the works of Yahuah but they refuse to see he took that 'DIMINISHED' identity so that through his Sonship he could bestow that to all those whom he gives the right to be called the sons of Alahim.

Heb 2:9 But we do see Him who was made diminished than the angels, namely, Yahusha, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of Alahim He might taste death for everyone. 

We have Paul recording in Heb 2:9 that Yahusha was made diminished than ANGELS. This makes perfect sense when we understand in the other two places in the Renewed Covenant (New Testament) that the Turah was mediated by the angels in the hand of the mediator. By him taking on the seed of Abraham ,Yahusha became diminished than the angels in mediating the renewed covenant to us.

2Cor3:7 But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Yisharal could not look intently at the face of Moshe because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,
2Cor3:8 how shall not the ministry of the Spirit be even more with glory?   

Let me quote Revelation 2:17 again  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, I shall give to eat of the hidden manna, and I shall give him a white stone, and a renewed name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.”  

The ministry of the Spirit is even more glorious than the letters engraved on stones and the Spirit is the breath of Yahusha.

John 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”

Rev19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His (Yahusha) name is called The Dabar (WORD) of Alahim.

The ministration of death came engraved on a stone but the ministry of the Spirit comes engraved on the heart.

Rev 3:12 “He who overcomes, I shall make him a pillar in the temple of my AL, and he shall go no more out; and I shall write on him the name of my AL, and the name of the city of my AL, the new Yerushalam, which comes down out of heaven from my AL, and My renewed name.” 

There may seem to be a contradiction at first glance when we compare Rev 2:17 and Rev 3:12 because Rev 2:17 says that his renewed name would be given on a white stone and Rev 3:12 says the renewed name will be written on him (i.e. the elect man). But when we understand that the Turah in the first covenant came written on tablets of stone given to Moshe and the Renewed Covenant came written on tablets of the heart (white stone shows a cleansed/circumcised heart) there is no contradiction.

2Cor 3:3 being manifested that you are a letter of the Mashiyach, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living Alahim, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts

Coming back to names, names in Hebrew have a deep meaning hidden in them and the purpose of Yahuah established in them.

I was pondering on Prodigal son parable again. The son left his fathers house (left Hebraic roots) in riotous living with harlotry and landed him among pigs. A picture of a once Jew fallen into Greek Roman pagan culture.He comes to his senses and returns back to his fathers house. Back to Hebraic roots.That's what Japheths seed went out of Hebraic roots returning back to the tents of Shem.

Genesis 5:32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem (Shin Mem), Ham, and Japheth.

We saw the Hebrew word Shem used for name, the same word Shem is the name of Noach's son who was the forefather of the Jews. Shem means ' Destroy Chaos'. So when we reconcile the title 'NAME' (shem) and 'SHEM' (Shem name of the son of Noach) we find that a true Jew is the one who bears Yahusha's name by which chaos is destroyed and the covenant secured. 

 Re 14:1 ¶ And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Tsion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

We saw Adam gave names to every beast and every bird, including his wife.

Gen 3:20 Now the man called the name of his wife Chauwah (Eve), because she was the mother of all the living.

Chauwah: Het (pronounced as Cha here means divided) Uau (secured) Hay (behold)

Put together 'Divided but secured behold'. She was taken out of man hence divided but secured in the man (of his flesh and of his bones).

We saw Adam giving 'shemoth' to all beasts and to all birds and even his wife and Adam was a type of the one who was to come (Rom 5:14). The one who would give us a 'renewed name' written on the tablets of our heart and that's Yahusha. He would be the one who would 'destory chaos by securing the covenant'

Gen 2:20 The man gave names (shemoth) to all the BEASTS (ha Behemah), and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

Hebrew word Shemoth: Shin (destory) Mem (chaos) Uau (secure) Tau (covenant): 'Destroy chaos by securing the covenant' 

Names do have a deep meaning which 'destroys chaos' when we understand what is being said in them spiritually through the ministration of the Spirit on the heart.

Let's view the prophecy of Noach a little deeper with the names of his sons. We already saw the meaning of name of his son 'Shem'. Now let's see about Japheth. First let's look at the meaning of 'tents of Shem'

Gen 9:27 May Alahim enlarge Yapheth, and let him dwell in the tents (Ahel) of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant to them.  

Hebrew word used for tent here is 'Ahel': AL is Alahim and therefore Ahel means 'Behold Alahim'

Hence Tents (behold Alahim) of Shem (destory chaos) means ' Behold Alahim who Destroys Chaos'

Now let's look at the name 'Yapeth' : Yapheth has letters Yod Pey Tau. Yod means hand Pey means scattered Tau means Covenant. Put together 'Scattered by the hand but in Covenant'

Ge 10:1 ¶ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noach, Shem, Cham, and Yapheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
 2 The sons of Yapheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
 4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
 5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

Yapheth was the father of the Gentiles who were divided in their lands and we saw that Yapheth means 'Scattered by the hand but in Covenant'. 

Now let's read Gen 9:27 in the light of what we have understood

Gen 9:27 May Alahim enlarge Yapheth (Scattered by the hand but in Covenant), and let him dwell in the tents (behold Alahim) of Shem (destroy chaos) ; and let Canaan be his servant to them. 

'May Alahim enlarge the one scattered by the hand but in covenant and let him dwell with behold Alahim who destroys chaos.....'

When the Gentiles believed in Yahusha, the prophecy of Yapheth coming into the tents of Shem was fulfilled.

Matt 12:21 And in His name (shem: destroy chaos) the Gentiles shall hope. 

Gen 9:27......and let Canaan be his servant to them

Canaan was the son of Cham, Cham mocked the nakedness of his father which is why his seed was cut off. Let's look at the meaning of his name.

Cham has Hebrew letters Chet Mem. Chet means 'Cut off ' and Mem means 'Chaos'. Cham means 'Cut off the one in chaos' and that's exactly what his seed was, they were cut off. Babylon, the land of Canaan in which dwelt, Egypt, the Philistines,the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite who were driven away to make way for the descendants of Shem (Yisharal) as they possessed Canaan after they came out of Egypt etc were the seed of Cham.

Gen10:6 The sons of Ham were Cush and Mizraim and Put and Canaan.
Gen10:7 The sons of Cush were Seba and Havilah and Sabtah and Raamah and Sabteca; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 
Gen10:8 Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.  
Gen10:9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahuah; therefore it is said, Like Nimrod a mighty hunter before Yahuah.  
Gen 10:10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 
Gen 10:11 From that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-Ir and Calah,
Gen 10:12 and Resen between Nineveh and between Calah; that is the great city.
Gen 10:13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim  
Gen 10:14 and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim
Gen 10:15 Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth
Gen 10:16 and the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite
Gen 10:17 and the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite 
Gen 10:18 and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; and afterward the families of the Canaanite were spread abroad 
Gen 10:19 The territory of the Canaanite extended from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; as you go toward Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha. 
Gen 10:20 These are the sons of Cham, according to their families, according to their languages, by their lands, by their nations.  

Ps 105:23 Yisharal also came into Egypt; and Yaaqob sojourned in the land of Cham.

Ps 78:51 And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Cham:

Finally let's look at Psalms 118:26

Psalms 118: 26. baruk haba’ b’shem Yahúwah

Mt 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of Yahuah.

Baruk: Bet (house) Resh (head) Uau (secured) Kaph (rise up above)

Put together: House of the head secured and risen above

Haba: Hay (Behold) Bet (house) Aleph (Alahim the Leader)

Put together: Behold house of AL

Ba Shem: Bet (house) Shin (destroy) Mem (chaos)

Put together: House destroying chaos.

Yahuah: Yod (hand) Hay (behold) Uau (nailed) Hay (behold)

Put together: House of the head secured and risen above, behold house of AL, house destroying chaos, hand behold nailed behold.

The hand of Yahuah secured the house of the head by raising it above and destroyed chaos, this he did by letting us know the meaning of his name which destroys all chaos.

In Matthew 23:38 Yahusha says ‘Behold your house is left unto you desolate’….

The Hebrew word for desolate used is ‘Shamem’ (Shin Mem Mem). Shin means ‘destroyed’, Mem means ‘chaos’ and again Mem means ‘chaos’. Put together ‘Behold your house is left unto you destroyed in chaos, in chaos’.

In verse 39 Yahusha quotes Psalms 118:26 about himself and says ‘You shall not see me henceforth until you say “House of the head secured and risen above, behold house of AL, house which destroys chaos, hand behold which was nailed and secured it behold”

May Yahusha bless you with the eyes to see these truths and acknowledge his name to dispel the chaos in your life or else your house is left unto you destroyed in chaos, in chaos.
