Traditionalists portray creation being perfect and man fallen from perfection. They see Eden as heaven itself where Yahuah dwelt with man and when man sinned he was cast away from it. The true picture can be only seen when we compare spiritual things with spiritual. Once we have done that we can see creation 'perfectly imperfect' and falling short of the esteem of Yahuah and that there cannot be perfection apart from Mashiyach. In this study I will present some scriptures with a spiritual comparison to show that the creation was created in need of a covering and that covering is Mashiyach.
Gen1:2 The earth (arets) was
waste (thahu) and an empty space in need to be filled (bahu), and darkness was over the surface of the deep,
and the Spirit of Elohim was moving over the surface of the waters.
The word 'thahu' has the root 'tha' which means 'waste/ignore'
The word 'bahu' has the root 'bah' which means 'an empty space in need to be filled'
While all this seems to be speaking of a physical earth the spiritual is concealed in the natural
Jer 4:22
For My people are foolish, They know Me not; They are stupid children
and have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they do not know.
Jer4:23 I looked on the alaph thu earth, and behold, it was
waste (thahu) and an empty space in need to be filled (bahu),; and to the heavens,
and they had no light.
The earth being waste and an empty space in need to be filled is in relation of Aluahym's people who are foolish and who do not know him.
Isa 34:8
For it is a day of vengeance of Yahuah, a year of recompense for the cause of Tsiyon.
Isa34:9 Its streams shall be turned into pitch, and its loose earth into brimstone,
and its land shall become burning pitch.
Isa34:10 It shall not be quenched night or day; Its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall be desolate; none shall pass through it forever and ever.
Isa34:11 But pelican and hedgehog shall possess it, and owl and raven shall dwell in it;
and He shall stretch over it the line of
waste (thahu) and the stones of
empty space in need to be filled (bahu).
The 'thahu & bahu' is related to the judgement of the last day known as 'Day of Vengeance of Yahuah'.
Deut 32:9 For the portion of is His people; Yaaqob is the allotment of His inheritance.
Deut 32:10
He found him (Yaqoob) in a land of wilderness, and in the howling (Yalal) waste (thahu) of a desolation (yashimun);
He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as the pupil of His eye.
Yahuah found Yaqoob in 'yalal' 'thahu' of yashimun (desolation). The word 'yashimun' has the root word 'yasham' which has the root word 'sham' which means 'breath which is desolate'
yalal:
The word 'yalal' means 'howling' as in night and has the root word 'lal' which is in the word 'layal' which means 'Night'
Gen 2:4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created,
in the day that Yahuah Aluahym made earth and heavens.
Aluahym made the heavens and the earth (spiritual) in the day he made the earth and the heavens (natural). Aluahym in his wisdom embedded the need for perfection in the imperfection. The day & night has embedded in it the light of Yah and the darkness of shatan in it.
haylal:
Isa 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, O haylal, son of the dawn!
You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!
The name 'haylal' has the 'yalal' rooted in it which means 'howling' and 'yalal' has the root word 'lal' which means 'night'. The son of the dawn is a paradox because his nature is dark and deceptively shows himself as the dawn star which never rises.
'yashimun' which means desolation has the root word 'yasham' which has the root word 'sham'. Please see the pictographs below
yasham:
sham:
Yahuah found Yaqoob in howling (yalal) 'thahu' (waste) of desolation (yashimun). It's a great deliverance of Yaqoob from the night, from shatan, from waste & from breath of vanity.
Gen 1:2 shows the condition of the earth which was waste and an empty space in need of a filling. And the very next verse tells us of the filling
Gen1:3 Then Aluahym said, Let there be light; and there was light.
Shaul tells us what Aluahym meant by this light
2Cor4:6 For Aluahym, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone
in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of Aluahym in the face of the Mashiyach.
Gen1:4 Aluahym saw that the light was good; and Aluahym separated between the light and the darkness. Gen1:5 Aluahym called the light day, and the darkness He called night.
And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Aluahym separated between the light and the darkness. He made creation with his two fold witness light and darkness, day and night, life and death, good and evil.
1 Joh5:10 The one who believes in the Son of the Aluahym has the testimony in himself;
the one who does not believe Aluahym has made Him a liar,
because he has not believed in the testimony that the Aluahym has given concerning His Son.1Joh 5:11 And the testimony is this, that the Aluahym has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.1Joh 5:12 He who has the Son has the life;
he who does not have the Son of the Aluahym does not have the life.
By making the creation in a two fold witness Aluahym is testifying of his Son who is embeded in creation as the hope of it's deliverance.
John 6:27 “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life,
which the Son of Man shall give to you,
for Him the Father, Aluahym, has set His seal.”
Now let's look at Adam and Eve:
Gen 2:25 And the man and his wife were both naked (aurum) and were not ashamed.
Job 26:6 Naked (arum) is Sheol before Him (Yahuah), and Abaddun (perdition) has no covering (kasuth)
Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over waste (thahu) and hangs the earth on nothing.
'kasuth' is broken down to Hebrew letters 'Kaph Samek Uau Thu' . Kaph is the open palm covering the Samek i.e. sin by joining (uau) to the covenant (thu). For Abaddun there is no covering. He is naked. Adam and Eve's nakedness shows a need for a covering. Their nakedness was not a picture of perfection but imperfection. Kasuth comes from the root word 'kasah' which means 'to cover'.
Gen 3:21 Yahuah Aluahym made garments of skin for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes,
lest he shall walk naked (arum) and they shall see his shame.
Re 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Dabar of Aluahym.
Re 19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Yahusha is the only one who covers us. Without him we are 'perfectly imperfect' and fall short of the esteem of Aluahym.
Adam was the figure of him who was to come (Rom 5:14). The
one to come was Mashiyach. Adam was created subject to vanity not by his will but because of HIM who subjected the same in hope of his redemption.
Gen 2:23-24-When Yahuah made Eve from his ribs Adam
prophesied saying this is flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones and
‘’Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and enjoin his wife and
they shall be one flesh’’
Paul speaks of the mystery of Mashiyach and his body in
Ephesians 5:30-32
Eph 5:30 Because we
are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. Eph 5:31 “For this
cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and
the two shall become one flesh.” Eph 5:32 This
secret is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly.
To become our husband he enjoined to us leaving his
Fatherhood & Mother Yarashalam being separated from the Ruach in standing as the face of Aluahym to
creation (Col 1:15-image of the invisible Aluahym) and became the Son.
Heb 12:2 looking unto Yahusha, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him
endured the stake, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of Aluahym.
Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of Aluahym.
Rom 8:20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly,
but because of Him who subjected it, in hope
The creation was subjected to vanity not according to their will but because of Mashiyach who subjected it in hope.
Psa 33:6 By the Dabar of יהוה the heavens were made, And all their host by the Ruach of His mouth.
Thus the DIVISION of Ruach from Mashiyach is felt in His
Body of set-apart assembly:
Eph 4:4 one body and one Ruach, as you also
were called in one expectation of your calling,
Eph 4:5 one Master,
one belief, one immersion,
Eph 4:6 one Aluahym
and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
He was one substance with the Ruach and being separated from
the Ruach he was now completely external in flesh and bones being externally
filled by the Ruach and this he did for his body i.e. us so that being part of
his body we would be filled with the Ruach Ha Qodesh and be partakers of his
divine nature.
He humbled himself bowing down to look at the things in heaven
and to look into the things of the earth.
Ps 113:5 Who is like unto the Yahuah our Aluahym, who
dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in
heaven, and in the earth!
Gen 1:6 Then Aluahym said, Let there be an expanse ( raqya) in the midst of the waters,
and let it separate between the waters and the waters. Gen 1:7 Aluahym made the expanse, and separated between the waters
which were below the expanse and the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
Gen1:8 Aluahym called the expanse heaven (shamayim).
And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Aluahym made the 'raqya' in the midst of the water separating waters from waters
The word 'raqya' is called a sheet which is hammered out flat. The root verb is 'ruq/raq' which means 'draw out/make empty'
Aluahym emptied the mayim from the mayim and made the expanse (raqya) and called the expanse shamayim. The word 'raqya' is broken down into Hebrew letters 'Resh Quph Yod Ayin' and the spiritual picture is of 'See the Resh on the horizon extending his hand down to creation'
The shamayim (heavens) which was made was marked with the alaph thu and so was the arets (earth)
Gen1:1 In the beginning (Barashaiyth) Aluahym created (Bara) alaph thu- the heavens and alaph thu -the earth.
The 'Bar' which means Son was in the act of creation in 'Barashaiyth' and in 'Bara' and all things were made by him and for him.
John 1:3 All things came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.
The 'shamayim' has the 'sham' in it which means breath and the 'yam' in it which means 'Sea'. The pictograph of yam is of the hand and water which means 'working water' like a 'storm'
shamayim:
yam:
The waters being separated from the waters and called shamayim is a picture of the breath of vanity in midst of a storm being drawn out. Hence the shamayim has spiritually embeded in it the hope of being drawn out from stormy waters. Hence the shamayim is a sweet aroma being carried on the wind of breath.
The time keepers : Sun, moon & stars
Sun: shamash
The shamash has the 'sham' which means 'breath' and the 'mash' which means 'touch' which is also rooted in 'masha' which means 'drawn out'
Hence shamash is the breath felt & drawn out
shamash:
mash & masha :
The mash and masha is in the name of Moses who was drawn out of waters
Ex 2:10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Masha: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
The mash and the masha is in 'Mashiyach' who draws our breath out of many waters. Aluahym made the sun and the rising of the sun has in it embeded the drawing out of our breath of vanity and it's setting the touch.
Ge 1:16
And Aluahym 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 Aluahym 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 Aluahym saw that it was good.
Ps 104:19 ¶ He appointed the moon (yarach) for seasons: the sun (shamash) knoweth his going down.
Moon: yarach
The word 'yarach' is broken down to Yod which is 'the hand' and 'rach' which means 'travel'
By placing the moon in the night when it is dark he embeded in the moon the spiritual light which shines in a dark place.
Stars: 'kukab'
The word kukab has the root word 'kab' which is a pictograph of kaph i.e. the hand and the bet i.e. tent. Put together 'covering of the tent'. Aluahym created the stars to spread out covering the dark night as surrounding the tent.
Re 12:1 ¶ And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;
a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
The woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet and the crown of 12 stars on her head is Heavenly Yarashalam who is the bride of Mashiyach and he will 'masha' (draw) her out of many waters and clothe her with his light.
Gen2:5 Now every shrub of the field before it was in the earth,
and the plant of the field before it sprouted, for
Yahuah Aluahym had not sent rain (matar) upon the earth,
and there was no man to cultivate the ground.
Gen 2:6
But a mist (ad) went up from the earth and watered the whole face (panay) of the ground (adamah)
mist: 'ad' which means 'vapor'
Zec 3:2 And Yahuah said unto shatan, Yahuah rebuke thee, O shatan; even Yahuah that hath chosen Yarashalam rebuke thee:
is not this a charcoal (aud) plucked out of the fire?
The 'ad' (H108) is rooted in 'aud' (H181) which means charcoal plucked out of fire. The picture is of the charcoal being plucked out of fire and in the process of being extinguished for the time being the smoke arises out of it while it's being extinguished. Shatan is that charcoal plucked out of fire. The mist that covers the whole ground.
The picture is of the vapor going up from th earth and watering the whole face of the adamah (Adam in adamah). A false besorah ready to go forth to decieve.
rain: 'matar'
matar has the root word 'tar' which means 'contain/ wall/watch'
.
The pictograph is of the basket containing the resh (head). Hence matar is a picture of the pouring out of the resh who was hidden/concealed in the basket watching creation.
Ge 1:31 ¶ And Aluahym saw
alaph thu whole (kal) that he had made, and, behold, it was
very good (tub). And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
The six days of work of Aluahym had embeded in it the spiritual in the natural (heavens and the earth in the day he made the earth and the heavens) and he made it WHOLE. 'Kal' in Hebrew means 'all/whole/complete'
Aluahym saw the completeness of his work and behold it was tub (good)
Tub: good
The picture is of the basket used to contain or surround the house. Aluahym made everything in perspective of the hope he gave creation to be drawn out of vanity by Mashiyach. Everything that he made fitted it perfectly in his plan for creations deliverance.
Heb 4:3 For we who have believed enter into rest, just as He has said, As I swore in My wrath,
if they shall enter into My rest,
although His works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Ge 2:2 And on the seventh day Aluahym ended his work which he had made;
and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Aluahym saw himself in Mashiyach surrounding the house and securing it and everything falling in his purpose and he rested. We are called into that rest. All those not being able to see the spiritual in the natural concealed are lost in their sins and will never enter his rest. Traditionalists who see the perfection apart from Mashiyach fall flat on their face and their besorah a misty one which deceives mankind. We must acknowledge that we are 'perfectly imperfect' and our imperfection is turned into perfection only in/by Mashiyach.
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 Ruach.
11 He made darkness
his hiding place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick
clouds of the skies.
Man is become like one of Us to know good and evil’. When
did Yahuah know evil? Yahusha is said to be before all things and by him all
things consist because he was Dabar made flesh and the one who tabernacled with
us. Being the first born over all creation and pre-eminent the purpose of Aluahym’s
rest on the 7th day reveals that the works were finished from the
foundation of the world (Heb 4:3).
The Lamb was slain from the foundation of
the world in his purpose and hence all our sin laid on him made him to know
evil like us. Hence prophetically Aluahym by saying ‘ Man is become like ONE OF
US to know good and evil’.
The same can be seen in Gen 1:26 ‘’Let us make man in our
image and after our likeness….’’ Where Aluahym through the ruach of prophecy is
speaking to the Son who would be separated from his constitution being his
visible image displaying his esteem through his face. Gen 1: 3 ‘’Let there be
light and there was light’’ and Paul tells us in 2 Corin 4:6 what this light is
and how it emanates from the face of Yahusha ha Mashiyach. The spiritual was
hidden in the natural. The Darkness was created so that his light could be
seen. Thus he made darkness his canopy and hid his Light in the Darkness.
Yahusha after being raised from the dead breathed on his
disciples and said ‘’Receive the Ruach’’ which shows he was enjoined back with
the Ruach from where he was separated and now fills all things.
But once He ascended, He was united again with The Spirit as
He fills all things:
Eph 4:10 He who went down is also the One who went up far above all the heavens, to fill all.
We saw in Pslams 18:9-11 that the one who
descended/bowed down was Yahuah who made darkness his hiding place and thus Yahuah
became our Yahusha.
May Yahusha open everyones eyes to see their imperfection so that they would be whole/complete in Mashiyach.
Col 2:10 and in Him you have been made complete (kal), which is the head of all principality and authority;
