Prelude to Light |
Apologetics for Holy Communion.
Nicknamed the Ghost Head Nebula, NGC 2080 is one of a chain of star-forming regions lying south of the 30 Doradus nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud that has attracted special attention because of the new star births. These regions have been studied in detail with the Hubble Telescope, and have long been identified as unique star-forming sites. 30 Doradus is the largest star forming complex within the whole local group of galaxies.

My Doctrine is not mine,
Jesus the Word of God says:
Even as the Father said unto Me, so I speak.
Make no mistake: The Communion Doctrine is
God the Father's Doctrine for Sanctification.
Seeing with the Eyes of the Spirit.
Eyes are now opened
I AM the Bread of LIFE
Communal or Family Worship of God.
In the
Beginning, Elohim (God) [ א
ת
] created the heavens and the earth.
And Yahweh God said: Let there be Light, and there was Light.
In the Beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with Yahweh God, and the
WORD was God.
Jesus said: I AM the Light of the world!
Yahweh God Almighty is declared throughout the heavens to be Holy, Holy, Holy, and the Holiness of Yahweh God is far beyond the understanding of earth dwelling mankind that perishes in time. (See Isaiah 55 verse 8 thru 9.) Oops; we have just introduced YHVH God of creation and His Name that is Yahweh, is the I AM that I AM. Perhaps your cackles are all ready up and you vehemently disagree with the finite logic of this finite man. But in our foolishness, we are challenging the atheistic person who foolishly says there is no God, and seeks to prove his theory with hyperboles. Can those that declare themselves to be wise in the ways of this world, compute for our understanding, the spatial distance of Infinity with discovered mathematics or any means of human logic that exists in finite time and space? Logically in mathematics, if you added up all of the possible plus and negative numbers together, then the unknowable number of numbers would always add up to zero, and mathematical zero always equates to infinity. For that matter, all the mathematical equations looking to discover the origin of time and space equates to zero and that of infinity.
If zero in Mathematics supposes infinity then what does mathematics compute the length of time to be in Eternity, or does time and space even exist in Eternity? Now then if we don't know any thing except substance that can be grasped by our senses, then what do we know about the possibilities of the Eternal Yahweh God of Eternity Who is not seen to be of substance. If the substanceless Yahweh God does exist then what is the mathematical computations that declare His Holiness?
There are no mathematic variations in zero, for infinity confirm the TRUTH of the Word of the only Everlasting Yahweh God of Eternity. I AM the Lord. I do not change. It is impossible for sin and the darkness of death to come into the Presence of the LIGHT of the Eternally Holy Lord Yahweh God Almighty: For if you have ears to hear then Hear the WORD of Yahweh God, made the flesh of Adam:
I AM the WAY and the I AM the TRUTH, and I AM the LIFE of mankind. No one comes into the Presence of MY Father Yahweh God except by ME! All that deny Me, love their sin and death.
Yahweh God is the only Eternal God and Creator of all things that exists within the undiscoverable expanse of His universe that is outside of unknowable Eternity. Beginning with the Eternal Yahweh God's creation of the Fabric of Space Time, then by the Power of His Word of Light, the substance of all things of the universe came into existence. With the unsearchable dynamics of the WORD of the Infinite Yahweh God Almighty, the Eternal maintains the expanding universe by the Inspirational Power of the Almighty's Holy WORD that is One with His Spirit of Light and TRUTH. The structure of all things is established in time and space, by the Living WORD of the Eternal Yahweh God, so that the Holy inspired WORD of Yahweh God is actively alive in the unseen dynamics of His ever expanding universe.
From timeless Eternity, the Infinite Yahweh Lord God Almighty, saw in His creation of the fabric of time and space that Man/Adam, whom Elohim would create with a free thinking mind to choose good over evil, but the first MAN, Adam looking only to himself, would choose to rebel against his Maker and Giver of His Spirit of LIFE. However, the Eternal Yahweh God, in His unsearchable Wisdom, would set forth His Word, to be His Lamb slain before the creation of the world for the sin of Mankind. (See 1st Peter 1 verse 18 thru 22.)
If the [satanic] princes of this world had known, then they would never have crucified the Lord of Glory. ( 1st Corinthians 2 verse 6 thru 9.)
Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh God would remove His Spirit of LIFE from the soul of rebellious Adam, and Adam's sin would instill death into his genetic code, his wife and that of his prodigy. The Eternal Yahweh, the God of the Living brought forth His universal creation and would set apart a designed place, called earth for the habitation of His special creation of of free thinking Man. But free thinking Man/Adam became deceived in hearing false rationalizations from the talking serpent, causing him to believe that his own choices of good and evil for himself was superior to Elohim's warnings of death.
In the course of time, Man has made Yahweh Lord God Almighty to become a symbolic god of our own creation that we have mentally fabricated to be in the image and likeness of our own self centered human ideologies. Thinking that Yahweh God is like us. we make ourselves comfortable, by putting our self conceived limits upon the Almighty Yahweh God.
Our finite eyes cannot see the Infinite, nor can the finite matter of our brains perceive the Eternal's Essence of Holiness.
That which we don't understand of the unseen Yahweh God and His Holy Spirit, we devise a symbolic metaphor that suits man's thinking. However, the Holy Spirit of the only Eternal Yahweh God exists within the Almighty's Inspiration and Creative Breath of Life that abides in the unknowable depths of the Infinite Expanse within the Mind of the only Holy Eternal Yahweh God of Creation. (See Deuteronomy 29 verse 29.) Likewise Yahweh God's Holy WORD, by Whom Yahweh Elohim created the universe cannot be symbolic, for Yahweh God's WORD is the Infinite's Substance of TRUTH, and Yahweh God's Eternal TRUTH holds all things together, both seen and unseen.
If I
[the Word of Yahweh God, Creator of all things] have told you of earthly things,
and you do not believe, how shall you believe, if I tell you of
heavenly things?
(John
3 verse 12.)
The finite mind of created man is limited in its ability to understand the unseen Eternal Power of the universe, for Yahweh God's Eternal WORD of Power formed the substance of all things visible and invisible. Even Faith is an unseen substance of Yahweh God's creation. The substance of this Faith enables one to see the evidence of the Creator through the substance of His universe. (See Hebrews 11 verse 1 thru 3.) However, the fool, blinded by his own darkness, says in his heart that there is no God, and dies in the face of the seeable evidence within the heavens above. In light or darkness, the evidence of creation by the Creator, is clearly established in the substance that we see with our Yahweh God made eyes and or touch with the substance of our dexterous hands. The Evidence of the TRUTH of the Holy WORD of the Living Yahweh God, Who inhabits timeless Eternity, shall stand as unshakeable TRUTH forever and ever in the faces of the foolish wise To the finite mind of man, infinity is in the realm of darkness where there is no explanation or definition that substantiates the TRUTH of He Who holds all things into existence. Without Faith, even Mathematics, quantum physics, and the observations of the heaven, can leave gaping holes in the fabric of our thinking and cannot be bridged in the finite mind of the natural man.
But the Infinite Yahweh God of Creation, builds a bridge of His holiness for the inquiring mind who is seeking the TRUTH of the Eternal Yahweh God. The TRUTH is the Living WORD of Yahweh God was sent by His Father Yahweh God, and came down to earth as the Living Bread from heaven, and became the flesh of Man/Adam and dwelt among us. The Holy Spirit of the Infinite Mind of Yahweh God conceived the WORD of LIFE to be within Yahweh God's reserved Covenant Seed of Woman, taken from Adam before his insurrection, whereby the Christ of Yahweh God became the flesh of the Son of Man/Adam through the unblemished genetic seed of Woman/Ishshah. (See Septuagint Psalm 40 verse 5.) The historical evidence is written in the Scriptures and declares that the Holy One of Yahweh God would be sent down to earth from heaven as the Unleavened Bread of LIFE, to be born the Son of Man/Adam, and as a Man, Jesus Christ would save corrupted human kind from sin's sting of death.
The unseen soul of man, incarcerated within the corrupted life blood of man kind, must be reborn of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of LIFE as a new creation with IN the Christ of Yahweh God, or else that vacated soul will see the depths of death. In His resurrection, the Man Christ Jesus/Yeshua overcame our sin and death through His total Love and Obedience to His Father Yahweh Yahweh God. Now the Almighty Yahweh God of the Living extends His Gift of LIFE in His Peace to all those that believe IN Yahweh God's Holy One: For the Christ of Yahweh God, as the Last pure genetic Man of Adam, would overcome all things pertaining to the rebellion of Adam/Man that brought the corruption of death to the flesh of the first Man and his prodigy. The WORD of the Infinite has the final WORD over death: For the WORD of the Eternal Yahweh God proclaims the Good News of regenerative Faith in and through the resurrection from the death of the crucified Christ. Yahweh God is the Almighty God of the Living, and not the god of the dead.
The WORDS of the Lord are pure WORDS; as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. (Psalm 12 verse 6.)
The WORD of Yahweh God does not fail in one jot or tittle of the written Words of the Torah nor of the Inspired Words of the prophets. The Covenant WORD of Yahweh God was crucified to a cruel death on a cross, not for Himself but for the sins of mankind. But, with Christ's Peace Offering, the obedient innocent Man, Jesus the Christ of Yahweh God, was accepted by Holy Yahweh God, and by Yahweh's Eternal Power of LIFE, the Lamb of Yahweh God arose from the dead in triumphant victory over Man kind's sin and death. Jesus/Yeshua, the Living WORD of Yahweh God, is alive forever more.
Now, within the spirit of your reasoning mind, if the above narrative witnesses as true, then witness also that Yahweh God's WORD in the New Covenant in the Communion Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is not a symbolic metaphor: For the Pure WORD of Yahweh God is TRUTH, and not sullied by dead men. The TRUTH of Yahweh God is an immoveable foundation that is set in place by the Holy Spirit of Christ's Infinitely Holy Father Yahweh God, the Almighty. If a person is not standing on the Foundation of TRUTH, then they are mired in their own sifting sand of unbelief that leads to eternal death.
So then: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, (that your faith) might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (1st Peter 1 verse 7.)

The
Two Edged Sword of the Spirit
See now that: I even I AM He.
There is no God beside Me.
I kill and I make alive;
I wound, and I heal;
Neither is there any that can deliver out of My Hand.
Armed with the Sword of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of TRUTH, we categorically declare that the Almighty Yahweh God's Covenant WORD of TRUTH, sealed within the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ, is not a symbolic idiom. Those who think otherwise are lifeless in their inert symbolism that breeds all manner of unbelief in the Living Word of Yahweh God. Even a form of faith, can leave a person mired in the corruption of sin within their mind of flesh that runs hand in hand with its companion of treasonous unbelief.
To know wisdom and instruction: To perceive the words of understanding, and receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity that gives subtlety to the simple, and to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: To understand a proverb, and the interpretation, the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: But fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1 verse 2 thru 7.)
The Infinite, Holy, Holy Holy Lord Yahweh God Almighty just exists within His Eternity of Infinite eons. From Eternity, the Eternal brought forth His beginning creation of time, along with the space fabric of the heavens that came to be in existence from the Spirit of His Infinite WORD of Power.
In the Beginning --- Yahweh God created the heaven and the earth. (Genesis 1 verse 1.)
Our eyes behold this beginning statement of TRUTH, scripted in black on white Bible pages, while the Glory and Power of Yahweh God Almighty, is written in the grandeur of the heavens and in the earth for all of Yahweh God's intelligent creation to consider.
For us there is but one Yahweh God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we in Him; and One Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things, and we by Him. (1st Corinthians 8 verse 6.)
In Yahweh God's days of creating life on earth, Man/Adam was formed during the sixth day within Yahweh God's creation of time, All things were created for Yahweh God's good pleasure and with that purpose, Yahweh God set His Heart upon Adam, whom He created in His own image and likeness of Spirit, for the Almighty desired to give to Adam, and his offspring according to the goodness of Infinity's Own Heart.
Unfortunately, Adam through the lust and imaginations of his own mind, would freely choose the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, rather than choosing the eternal goodness that would come from the Heart of Yahweh God, for Yahweh God's choice provisions for LIFE were established in Yahweh's Tree of LIFE. Adam freely chose the poisonous fruit of rebellion against his Maker, and the seed of this forbidden fruit brought confusion over good and evil. Adam's choice of insurrection forced a separation from the Heart of Holy Yahweh God, and Yahweh God's likeness of His Holy Spirit of LIFE departed from the Man. In choosing the forbidden morsel, Adam sold himself into the bondages of the spirit of evil. That corrupt seed of rebellion was sown into the core of Adam's soul, and changed the whole of his natural being, bringing death to himself, and ultimately would bring death to all of his offspring. As a result of Adam's rebellion against Yahweh God, death was set in motion with the whole earth being infected with sin's sinister darkness with that darkness being controlled by sin's author, Satan. Now, humanity is left with their own individualistic discovery and self determination, which breeds all manner of lust, desires and concupiscence within the heart of each individual little man god. It should be self evident, that every person born of flesh, is left to judge the good and evil as they see fit, and do what is right within their own eyes.
However, the Eternal Yahweh God is the Holy Yahweh God of the living, and not the god of the dead. Yahweh God's Heart, from the beginning of His creation, intended to give Life, and to give it abundantly to His creation of Man. We know that after the treasonous rebellion of the first Man/Adam, Yahweh God in His mercy and love, sent His Eternal Living WORD into this World of sin, as the incarnate Son of Man, to save human kind from sin's violence and corruption into death. The Lord Jesus Christ came in the flesh of Man/Adam, to sow the seed of Yahweh God's Word of Salvation hope into the minds and souls of humankind that were lost and without hope in their sin's corruption into death. But now, Yahweh God's Seed of Salvation brings forth a new birth to the believing of man kind. Now the new born soul is to be conformed into the likeness of the Son of Yahweh God, and has a new living faith in Yahweh God's Way, Yahweh God's TRUTH and Yahweh God's LIFE that is centered within the Spirit of Father Yahweh God's Son of Salvation, Jesus Christ.
As there is a beginning to all things within Yahweh God’s creation of sowing and reaping, so there can be a new beginning of true faith, wisdom and understanding, within the searching human heart and spirit of the one, who hears and then follows after Yahweh God's call. The Eternal Yahweh God has set the foundational Rock of TRUTH IN Christ Jesus, and now the possible beginnings of new Life, originates out of the human heart's reverential fear of the Creator Yahweh God, and the desire to know Him. If all things begin with our Creator Yahweh God, then even a reverential fear is initiated by our Gracious Lord to bring forth a soul's trusting faith in Him and the TRUTH of His Eternal WORD. Those of us having received Yahweh God's Gift of Living Faith, know that Jesus Christ is Yahweh God's Personal WORD of the Promised WAY of the TRUTH and the LIFE of men, to all those who receive and follow after Him into Eternity.
As for myself, I am very fortunate that I have found the fear of the Lord to be very good, and have seen that the nourishing riches of His WORD enhances, and yet far surpasses my finite understanding of the HOLY ONE. So then, it is with Yahweh God's beginning Seed of His WORD that has brought forth a now flourishing faith within a new spiritual mind that is further augmented by the unseen resources of the LIFE of Christ Jesus. And now that refurbished mind will magnify the TRUTH of the WORD of GOD, as we ascribe infinite glory and majesty to His Name of Salvation, Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah/Christ of Yahweh God, whereby unbelieving humanity must be saved from their iniquity.
In the Beginning, Yahweh God (Elohim)
(ALEPHא
TAV
ת)
created the
heaven and the earth.
The Almighty Yahweh God put His Personal Mark of TRUTH in the written Hebrew Torah, for the emblematic Mark is the Living Source of the very beginning of Yahweh God's creation of time and space, and in the fabric of time the Source of Yahweh God brought forth the creation of the substance of the heaven and the earth. The Hebrew language reads from right to left and in the above Hebrew language, we can find in the opening passage in the book of Genesis, the Aleph אand the Tav ת, for they are set as beginning and ending time markers in the midst of the first known declaration of creation. In the English transliteration of the 15th century, the Personal Marker of Elohim is missing. To get our semantics right in the first and the last place, the Aleph, is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and biblically is equivalent to the first letter Alpha, in the Greek alphabet: The last letter in the Hebrew alphabet is the Tav, and is transliterated to the last letter in the Greek alphabet, Omega. And the two became ONE, for the Lord's Christ, Who is the Aleph-Tav, the Word of Yahweh God from the beginning to the end of time, says correspondingly in Revelation:
I AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last, Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty. For thus says the LORD the King of Israel, and His Redeemer the LORD of Hosts; I AM the First, and I AM the Last; and beside [apart from] Me there is no God. (See Revelation 1 verse 8 thru 11, and Isaiah 44 verse 6 thru 8.)
Through the revelation of Yahweh God's Spirit of TRUTH, the clarity of Scripture became even clearer to the minds of the apostles Paul and Peter, for they write that Yahweh God's perfect Lamb was slain even before the creation of the world. (See 1st Peter 1 verse18 thru 20 and 1st Corinthians 2 verse 6 thru 10.)
Note: The following video documentary was
first viewed by the writer on June 22, 2015 and was posted on this web page on that date.
Since its posting, there was some change in context. Any depictions that
presents the Word of Yahweh God in favorable Light, can cause controversy and so it was
with this film, for Google took it off
of UTube. However some time in 2020 it was restored to UTube. There is a
point toward the end of the documentary that breaks with the original flow of thought, but
on the whole it is
a very good 1 hour film. The documentary should be viewed, for in
its educational value, the viewer will begin to understand
the great Salvation we have in the New Covenant WORD of Yahweh God, even as
Yahweh God
set the Mark of His WORD in the beginning first sentence of Genesis. The
early Hebrew pictographs reveal Yahweh God's Covenant in the Aleph
Tav
. Unfortunately, after building up a
good foundation of the
TRUTH of the Well Spring and the
Covenant Power
of the WORD of Yahweh God that is Christ, the authors at the time mark of
40:15, refer in their own unbelief that the Communion Blood of Christ is symbolic,
both in their word and the Communion depiction.
They fail in their understanding that Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of TRUTH is One with
Yahweh God's WORD made the
Flesh of the Son of Adam, and would be One Essence with the Water
and Blood that flowed from the pierced body of Yahweh God's Holy One. The WORD of
the Creator of the Universe is exactly What He Says It IS. The word
“is”, in Greek is “esti”: Third
Person, singular. The English definition means: Present; “to be”: and has a root in
“eimi”:
First Person, singular, present: meaning, “to exist”; “is present”.
The "I
AM" in the Gospel of John, references the deity of Jesus
Christ, as EGO EIMI, and in the Greek language, having a meaning of I Will Be.
Without the Eternal TRUTH of the Word of Yahweh God, then unbelief makes faith void
of the TRUTH.
Also the documentary time of 45:44 there is another error that is lacking in perfect understanding of the Power of the WORD of Yahweh God: For the English designation of the Son of Man is of Eternal necessity. Christ is the very last genetic Son of Adam, and Yashua haMachiah (the Messiah) is the Perfect Son of Yahweh God, born of the pure genetic flesh of Adam. The Son of Man or Son of Adam is not a mere title that Christ Jesus proclaims, but is a genetic fact of Yahweh God's perfection, for Jesus is born of the Seed of Woman and is the very last genetic Adam. The very name of Adam in English means Man: Therefore Jesus is declaring that He is the Son of Adam or the Son of Man. For Yahweh God declares: I will make a (mortal) man (enowsh) more precious than fine gold; even a Man (Adam) than the golden wedge of Ophir. (See Isaiah 13 verse 11 thru 13.) Notice the above green links that provide the distinctions in the Hebrew for the word man. Likewise, the original name of Adam's wife is Ishshah and means Woman. Yahweh God's TRUTH stands for ever: However human kind (enowsh), within his own confusion, stubbles over what the TRUTH of Yahweh God and establishes what he considers to be his truth. Yeshua (Jesus) declares He is the TRUTH and ONE with His Father Yahweh God. Yahweh God is One; Father, Spirit WORD and is Eternally Constant, and no person or entities can tear the TRUTH asunder. After viewing the documentary, then perhaps the whole of this treaties on Holy Communion, accompanied with Yahweh God's Spirit of TRUTH that is ONE with the WORD of Jesus Christ, will begin to resonate as TRUTH in the spirit of the reader's mind.

Now then, my natural mind is not a remarkable mind, but nevertheless adequate, and remains changeable and creative in thought, and by the Grace of Yahweh God, this mind is supple enough for the substance of Faith IN Yahweh God and His Christ. So then, it is with Yahweh God's given Grace through Yahweh's Holy Spirit of TRUTH, and with my heart's best understanding, that we come to a necessary beginning of the inspiration within the spirit of the mind, being birthed in Godly Faith.
No man has seen Yahweh God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, Who is in the Bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. (John 1 verse 18.) (Luke 6 verse 45.)
With this root Scripture from Luke's Gospel in mind, we postulate that at some period in Yahweh God's Eternity, through the internal thoughts of His Infinite Majesty and Power, the substance of all things was birthed or conceived in the Bosom and Spirit of the invisible Yahweh God Almighty. From the invisible dynamic substance and abundance of Yahweh God's Heart of Love, His Mouth spoke, and His Logos Seed, Jesus Christ, in union with His Father's Infinite Spirit, created, within His creation of time and space, the Heavens and all the dynamics of the stars, the earth and other heavenly bodies. Everything that exists, the known and the unknown are because of the invisible substance of the thoughts of the only Eternal Yahweh Lord God Almighty, and that substance is expressed through His Son and Absolute WORD, Jesus Christ. All substances (or things) consist of Him, (the Logos or Word) and are held in the Power of His Dominion over all things in His created universe. All matter and or energy dynamically consist of the Substance of the Almighty's WORD, and as such, all physical matter, antimatter, or even postulated unseen dark matter and dark energy, is imprinted with the Infinite Power of Yahweh God's WORD and Spirit of TRUTH, and remains in absolute subjection to the Spirit of His WORD.
By the WORD of the LORD (Yahweh) were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the Breath of His Mouth. The counsel of the LORD (Yahweh) stands for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. (Psalm 33 verse 6 and verse 11.)
All of creation, whether it is seen or unseen, is impregnated or shall we say indelibly imprinted with the genesis WORD of the Creator Yahweh God, for all of the substance of creation came forth, from the abundant riches within the only Infinite Lord Yahweh God Almighty. (See Jesus and the Aleph-Bet.) The Signature of that abundance is exhibited in the heavens and the earth, and demonstrates the dynamic Power of His Eternal WORD of creation.
This presentation concept of Yahweh God's Signature imprinted on all of His creation, is not difficult to understand. A master painter or a writer or engineer or inventor, will inevitably sign their names to their respective work. In all cases, the works are owned by the originator, and in many instances a copy right is secured to protect the artisan's efforts to secure monetary gain. The works belong to the creator of the works, unless they are sold, or the rights to the creation, are licensed to another for their own use. So then like wise, Yahweh God's signature, the imprint of His Heart, is on the whole of His creation, beginning with the unknowable expanse of the cosmos, to the smallest and unseen subatomic details that makes up the substance of His collective universal design. Yahweh God's creative WORD and and only Begotten Son, also sets the mark of His supernatural signature of authority and design within the beginnings of His creation of life, even as it is represented in the elemental DNA signature of plant and animal species, all of which through Yahweh God's creative Genius, are carried on in the seed of its genetic offspring. Yahweh God is Infinite Light, and that Eternal Person of Light has an infinite capacity within Him Self, to create beyond the understanding of the natural human.
Perhaps we need to remember that the Creator of the universe, had never purposed in His Heart to give or sell any portion of His creation to any being or entity that was outside of His Will. The problem has existed from the Garden to the present time, where mankind has sold itself into the bondage and violence of sin and death, and now the blood from the violence of mankind is in the dust of the earth, and obscures Yahweh God's Signature of Eternal Ownership. The Holy Yahweh God of the universe, remains Constant in His love for mankind, and desires to redeem or purchase back that which was lost to Him by way of the subtlety of Satan's sowing his controlling nature of independent sin within the free thinking soul and spirit of man. The nature and signature of sin is D. E. A. T. H., derived from mankind's self indulgence, as little gods, leads to continued disobedience and violence against the only Lord Yahweh God of the living. So then the blood guiltiness of all of mankind was signed in the dust of the earth, even as it was sown within the souls of earthly mankind. If a person breaks even one commandments given by Yahweh God, then he or she is guilty of all of Yahweh God's commandments, and have made themselves no less than an accomplice to all the bloody violence of sin in the earth.
But now, the Sacrificial LIFE Blood of the Incarnate Jesus/Yeshua, born the Son of Adam is sown in the earth, and is the redemptive price that covers the full cost of sin's demands of death upon earthly mankind. Holy Yahweh God's Supreme Signature is in the Holy Blood of Jesus the Christ, and that Covenant LIFE giving Blood of the risen Christ Jesus, supersedes the signature of death that spiritual sin has ascribed to all people of the earth. The pardon for sin, is signed in the precious New Covenant Blood, of Yahweh God's perfect Lamb of Sacrificial Love that is in Yahweh's own beloved Son. (See God's Amnesty Program.) In Hebrew, the Lord of Yahweh God's Salvation is known as Yeshua haMashiach: In the English vernacular, the Lord is called Jesus the Christ. It remains for all those who have accepted Yahweh God's amnesty for past sins, to faithfully follow His Eternal WORD IN His WAY and IN His TRUTH and IN His Blood that gives Eternal LIFE. There is a dire need to consider hard Peter's warning when he writes of forgetful us; and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins! (See 2nd Peter 1 verse 4 thru 10.) Peter's written warning agrees with Paul's writings in Romans. (See Romans 3 verse 25.) When viewing the Scriptures, compare Paul's Words "remission of sins that are past" in conjunction with Peter's "has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins".
Looking into the Holy Scriptures in Romans 8, it seems as if the whole universe is pregnant with greater expectancy, and waiting for the Promised deliverance to take place within the course of Yahweh God's redemptive Eternal plan for mankind declared before the World was created. (See 1s 1 verse 19 thru 21,t Peter 1st Corinthians 2 verse 7 thru 10, Revelation 12 verse 10 thru 12,) Paul writes:
"For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now".
1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from Yahweh God, an Eternal House in heaven, not built by human hands.
2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,
3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. (2nd Corinthians 5 verse 1 thru 3.)
Even though all things that exist in the universe, came forth from the unknowable dynamics of the Heart and Spirit of His Eternal Being, that in His Person, the Omnipotent Yahweh God is neither diminished in Power because of His universal creation, nor is the Power of His Living WORD to influence creation, save for one thing. The Sovereign Yahweh God of the Universe cannot create a heart perfected in true love and molded in trust within His created beings of free choosing no matter if they be Man (Adam) or angelic beings. There are no robotic children in His kingdom of the living, for even today the Spirit of Prophecy, leaves the mind of man in their subjective control of the spiritual message. (See 1st Corinthians 14 verse 31 thru 33.)
A man gazing through a powerful telescope, may be impressed or perhaps enamored with the dynamics of the unseen power of the universe. He may even reflect on the origin of its creation, that is to say its Creator, but the creative and sovereign Power of Yahweh God, does not engender a free and more perfect Love of Yahweh God. This spiritual matter of the spiritual heart to freely love Yahweh God, is not forced on Yahweh God's subject beings, in spite of Yahweh God's sovereignty, for that would be a falsehood to the Yahweh God of all TRUTH, and would be a contradiction to His over all Nature of Infinite Holiness. (See the Church Fathers on free-will.)
This we can be sure of, that the heart and soul of man was born to be loved, and to know sacrificial Love through a personal intimacy with the One, Who knows the heart best. The drawing power of the Love of Yahweh God, is from a Love that surpasses all human understanding, and is Yahweh's Holy Spirit's Call that needs to be heeded by all of fallen mankind. To know this Love of Yahweh God, then the confused and desperate heart of a person must find the will to answer Yahweh God's Call to His Grace, and then to abdicate their allegiance to their independent and self destructive ways, by surrendering their hearts into the enabling, and Loving Grace in Yahweh God's Son, Jesus Christ.
If you turn unto Me, then I will turn unto you, says the Lord of Host" (Zechariah. 1 verse 3.) Blessed is the man to whom the LORD will not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. (Psalm 32 verse 1 thru 2.)
The Grace of Yahweh God's Spirit does not destroy the will of man, but regenerates in the mind of man an accepting will that spurns death and desires to know the Love of the Lord Yahweh God of the Living.
When Yahweh God's Perfect Love is received within the grateful heart of the forgiven person that was imprisoned in sin and awaiting death, then that supreme Love from Yahweh God can change the self imprisoned heart of man, to a heart that is free to Love Yahweh God, first in all things, and secondly, to Love their fellow man, as themselves. The Eternal Yahweh God, when receiving a reciprocating Love from His free living subjects of man, then the Eternal Yahweh God, Whose Supreme Nature is to give, is supremely enriched with a Love freely given. (See Luke 15 verse 10.) For Yahweh God so Loved the world that He gave of the abundance of His Love, through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, so that through the new birth of sinful human kind, the earth may see the evidence of Yahweh God's Love in their Love.
Of His own will begat He us with the WORD of TRUTH, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures. (James 1 verse 18.) Jesus says, I tell you the TRUTH, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12 verse 24. NIV.)
All good gifts come from the Father of Light, beginning with faith expanding into hope, but the greatest Gift of all is the Perfect Love within Yahweh God's Son.
There is no fear in love, but Perfect Love cast out fear: Because fear has torment, he that fears is not made perfect in love. We love Yahweh God, because He first Loved us. (1st John 4 verse 18 thru 19.)
Yahweh God's Gift of Faith, is given to any person who will receive it, and now the Gift belongs to that person to do with the Gift as he wills. However, an understanding person might say; "It is my Gift of Faith IN Yahweh God that sustains me".
Yes, but even so, what do we do with that Gift of Faith when Yahweh God's purposes is to bring us into His more Perfect Love? Having come from the Yahweh God of the living then that same faith is not designed to be passive, but holds the possessor of that beginning measure of faith to measured responsibilities. The Holy, Just Yahweh God of His universe, holds us accountable for what He has given to us, for it is written:
For whosoever has, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever has not, from him shall be taken away, even that he thinks he has. (Matthew 13 verse 12.)
Biblically, the Word of Yahweh God speaks of the hypocrisy within all of us, and so then even Divine TRUTH may be muffled or silenced because of our own hypocrisy; and that hypocrisy is inextricably bound within the iniquity of self idolatry that darkens the mind of flesh. These same minds of flesh and blood, can, and will delve into matters that are beyond the scope of the mind of man to comprehend. So then we see men, with their vain philosophies and much speaking, limiting Yahweh God within their own hearts, and also influence those of gullible mankind. The faith of many is compromised by false teachers that espouse their own prideful intellectual and philosophical bias. These foolish teachers lean on the priority of their own earthly understanding, and continue to dismiss Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of TRUTH and His leading in the only WAY and TRUTH that the WORD of LIFE provides for mankind.
Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood you have no LIFE in you. It is the Spirit that gives LIFE and your flesh does not comprehend, says the Word of the Lord of creation.
A symbolic covenant with Yahweh God does not exist, for His Eternal Covenant is in His Eternal WORD that is alive forevermore. Yahweh God is not symbolic; His Spirit is not symbolic; His WORD is not symbolic; and the Blood of Yahweh God's New Covenant is not symbolic, otherwise you are absolutely lifeless in your symbolism.
The Infinite Yahweh God of Eternal LIFE, is Yahweh Almighty God, and He is unlimited within the vastness of Himself. Man is not God, for the natural man is limited in a finite body of flesh that is sowed in death and will cease to exist in the dust of the earth. Human kind, like all breathing animals, presently exist within the finite limits of the creature within our bodies of dying flesh. However;
The secret things belong unto the Lord our Yahweh God, but those things which are revealed belong unto us, and our children forever. (Deuteronomy 29 verse 29.)
But, it is apparent that the mind of man, does not like not knowing of hidden mysteries, especially those of Yahweh God, and will expound upon things that fallen man has no way of knowing, nor has man a right to Yahweh God's Infinite Essence of Being. The Infinite Yahweh God will remain Infinite, and man by his earthly nature will remain a speculator, seeking to make Yahweh God into our own image, or trying to give meaning to the Infinite's Words, so as to agree with our own earthly understanding. So, even the things that were written for our understanding, are subject to the interpretation of the speculators who may be ever learning, but never seemingly coming to the knowledge of the TRUTH.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but the LORD ponders the hearts. (Proverbs 21 verse 2.)
Witness within yourselves: It can be very difficult to change the root thinking of our minds, especially when we are indoctrinate to be in agreement with our most trusted and esteemed teachers, whether they are right or wrong within the root of their own speculating minds. If from the beginning, man 's understanding of TRUTH is wrong, then obviously that understanding, in the end, is still wrong and all who espouse the error are held to account.
For Yahweh God has concluded them all [the Jews] in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all. Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of Yahweh God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who has known the Mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? (See Romans 11 verse 25 thru 34.)
So then, let's ponder a few questions that are pertinent to the heart of our thinking: If Jesus Christ, within His Person, is the Eternal WORD of Yahweh GOD, then what is your perception of scripture pertaining to the Power of the WORD of Christ; light, or darkness? Does the WORD of Yahweh God present darkness of thought, veiled in the cloudiness of our minds of unbelief, or is the WORD of Yahweh God received in the spirit of our mind and soul, as the absolute TRUTH revealed in the Light of Faith? Do we really have faith in the revealed Words of Jesus Christ, of Whom Peter declares:
You have the Words of Eternal LIFE. What do you do with these Words of Eternal LIFE that Jesus speaks to His disciples? Take, eat: This is My Body given for you. Take and drink all of you. This is My Blood of the New Covenant, shed for many for the remission of sin? (See Matthew 26 verse 26 thru 27.)
Did Jesus not say?
Unless you eat of the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood you have no LIFE in you. It is the Spirit that gives LIFE and your flesh does not comprehend.
From the Beginning, the Spirit of Yahweh God has given LIFE to the Words of the Son of Man, Whom, after Christ's crucifixion death, the Holy Spirit of Yahweh God raised up to LIFE the Son of Man in the Power of His Faith that believed in His Father's Word of TRUTH. By the Holy Spirit of Yahweh God, the Flesh and the Blood of the risen Son of Man is LIFE for the dead IN the Body of Christ, who partake IN Faith of Yahweh's Holy Provision of LIFE IN the Blood of His Son Christ Jesus.
Now again, does the value of Jesus Christ's Words at His Table, hold only inert symbolism and innocuous shadows of hyperbole to the reader, or does the WORD of Yahweh GOD, even Jesus Christ the Son of Adam, contain the real unseen substance of the Light of LIFE, as it flowed from the Mouth of the Creator of the Universe?
I AM the Vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: For without Me you can do nothing.
There can be no fruit of Yahweh's Spirit, apart from abiding in Jesus Christ. Unbelief is the stumbling block, born out of the iniquity within the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, and that Tree only produces death.
Jesus, the Living WORD of Yahweh God, and the Savior of mankind, asks all of His disciples a very pertinent question;
"Who do you say that I AM?"
This is the quintessential question that all must give an answer too. (See Romans 14 verse 10 thru 12.) Perhaps your answer today, will influence your reception or rejection of what will be presented in the spirit of this treatise on Holy Communion. The crux of this self examination begins with the beginning of John's Gospel: For
"In the beginning was the WORD (Logos), and the WORD was with Yahweh God, and the WORD was God. The same was in the beginning with (Yahweh) God. All things were made by Him (the Word), and without Him (the Word) was not anything made that was made. In Him (the Word) was LIFE, and the LIFE was the Light of men. And the Light shines in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not". (John 1 verse 1 thru 5.)
The TRUTH of Yahweh God's WORD is set in the Light of all creation, for by the Power of the WORD of TRUTH, all things exist, and will be what the TRUTH of Jesus Christ says they will be, for He is the absolute WORD of Yahweh God Almighty. The Apostle John speaks of Jesus Christ in this Way:
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in Righteousness He does judge and makes war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His Head were many crowns; and He had a Name written, that no man knew, but He Himself. And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in Blood: and His Name is called The WORD of GOD. (Revelation 19 verse 11 thru 13.)
Without the absolute TRUTH of the WORD of Yahweh God, then nothing would exist! If the Words of Jesus Christ should fail IN one jot or tittle, then the Word of TRUTH has failed, and heaven and earth along with all matter and time would cease to exist. Christ Jesus with His Father, is the Law Maker of the universe, where by all things are held together in compliance with the Spirit of Yahweh's WORD of TRUTH. When the Lord Jesus Christ sat at the table with His disciples, He instituted a New Law, where by, through the Spirit of His WORD, the essence of the matter of the unleavened bread would become for all of His followers, indeed His Body; and the essence of the wine would now become, the Spirit of His Blood of the New Covenant, poured out for the remission of the sins of all the members IN His Body.
It is the Spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing: The WORDS that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and They are LIFE. (John 6 verse 63.)
If the WORDS of Christ are Spirit and LIFE for His believers, then how do you perceive each of the called members of the Lord's Body ?
For thou shall Love, as in the Greek, Agapao the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Also, you are to Love your neighbor as thy self.
How many of us come short of this sacrificial Love of Yahweh God, and contrary wise set ourselves first, and our neighbor some where down the line?
Notes of Importance: Mark 16:16. 'He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, but he that believes not shall be damned'. Water Baptism implies the death of a believer into the sinless Body of Jesus Christ, for Jesus was crucified to death for our sin, and yet Faith IN Christ's Resurrection holds to a new beginning of Life for the believer IN Christ Jesus, for they drink of His LIFE giving Blood.
But, the fact remains that we live in the unredeemed flesh of our being, leaving in us an ongoing problem of destructive sin that so easily find us out, and our weakness to its call needs to be submitted to the Lord and Keeper of our souls. (See 1st Corinthians 15 verse 49 thru 50.) In this flesh of our own self importance, we are forgetful of the absolute Holiness of our Creator, Yahweh Almighty God. But remember that you are more than a conquer IN CHRIST JESUS when you submit your willfulness to the LIFE Giving BLOOD of the Lord our Savior.
Although many think that the writings of Paul came before the writing of the Gospels, nevertheless this writer has a preference for using, what is noted as Matthew 26 verse 26 and 27 through out this manuscript as prima facie evidence for the efficacy of Holy Communion and the Lord Jesus Christ's WORD declared LIFE giving Blood of the New Covenant poured out for the remission of sin. The Apostles, Matthew and John, were two of the apostles, who were present during the Lord's Institution of His Father's New Covenant in His Son's LIFE giving Blood that Christ presented at His last Passover Supper during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The traitor, Judas Iscariot was not present during the Lord's Presentation Offering of His Body and LIFE giving Blood.
"Except you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood you have no LIFE in you." (See John 6 verse 53.)
The two other synoptic Gospel accounts attributed to Luke, who was not at the Table, and that ascribed in Mark, who may have been present, speak of the Lord's WORD as thus, "This is My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many." Neither of these two Gospel accounts, nor of the translated rendering of Paul's Communion account, as seen in 1st Corinthians chapter 11, solidly establishes what should be understood of the forgiveness of sin. The Gospel of Matthew presents the apostle Matthew as a witnesses at Christ's Passover table, of the Lord saying: "Take and drink all of you: This is My Blood of the New Covenant Shed for many, for the remission of sins".
Paul, in his account of Communion IN the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, writes that Jesus twice said of His Body and Blood: this do in remembrance of Me. (See 1st Corinthians 11 verse 24 thru 26.) This do is an instructive Word that is given to those who Love and obey through Yahweh's Gift of Faith in the cleansing Word of Yeshua/Jesus. We are to remember that in Yahweh God's New Covenant that His Lamb, Jesus Christ shed His LIFE Blood for Man and died for our sin and death, so that we would live in the abundance of the LIFE of His Spirit that is One with His Father Yahweh God.
This imperative New Covenant WORD of the Lord Jesus Christ, Speaks of His shed Blood given for the obliteration of confessed sins of the corrupted flesh of New Covenant believers IN Christ Jesus. However, Yahweh God's Gospel Word from Matthew is dismissed by so many, who claim to have the hermeneutics of scripture all in hand, but do not understand the hermeneutics of the corrupting existential sin that remains within the fleshly body of themselves. With our agreement IN the fullness of Yahweh God's New Covenant in the Blood of Jesus Christ, then acknowledged sin will be pruned from the flesh, thereby relieving the conscience of the condemning guilt of sin. Now, the repentant member IN the Covenant Body of Christ, through Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace, is made One with the efficacious New Covenant LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ.
The English word remission is a transliteration from the Greek work aphesis, and has a meaning greater than just forgiveness or even pardon. Remission of an offense is a total release from bondage or imprisonment, letting a repentant person go free as if they had never committed crimes. In the fullness of Yahweh God's New Covenant there is no damning penalty of death for the truly repentant soul: And for that matter there is a complete obliteration of the past record of charges. Yahweh God does not want His New Covenant people IN Christ to be encumbered with the weight of sin's present condemnation, but His Good Will is that they would remain free to serve Him IN Love and to be His ambassadors of His Good and Holy Will. On this web site, much has been written and rewritten over the years, and the whole of the work needs to be read for a greater overview of Yahweh God's Gracious New Covenant IN the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ.

For ever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven.
(Psalm 119 verse 89.)
In the beginning -- Alef Tav -- God created! Out of sheer necessity let us labor together past our fears that are bound in the flesh of unbelief, and now let's venture into the realm of the Spirit of Yahweh Almighty God, and into the knowledge of the Perfect Love of our Creator God. We can begin to explore the substance of the strength of Yahweh God's unfailing Word of TRUTH, that challenges our own questioning little faith. When we look into the scriptures within the book of beginnings, Genesis, we see in every instance within creation, except one, that the Infinite God Almighty spoke the dynamics of His Word to His subject within His beginning creation to bring forth exactly as He Commanded, and His Word brought forth His Command in absolute obedience. The one exception occurred during the latter part of Yahweh God's sixth day when Elohim personally formed Adam out of the dust of the earth and then Yahweh God breathed His Breath of LIFE into Adam's nostrils, and Adam became a living soul. (See Creation of Man .)
From Infinity, the Infinite Lord Yahweh God Almighty brought forth His universal creation within six of HIS encapsulated days of timeless Eternity. For it is written: One Day is LIKE a Thousand Years and a Thousand Years is LIKE One Day. Timeless Infinity is not understood by finite man and the Likeness of Infinity is not definitive in the likeness of one day or the likeness of a thousand years. The thoughts of Timeless Infinity will exhaust the small mind of man.
In the beginning -- Alef Tav -- Yahweh God created the fabric of time!
In His creation of the fabric of time, Yahweh God, knew that sin would come into as of yet an uncreated world and that His creation of Adam would succumb to the desires of sin. Nevertheless, Yahweh God's full creation would be very good, for in the end of days, it would meet the fullness of Yahweh God desires to defeat sin and death at its source. The prophet Isaiah prophesized: O Lord Yahweh our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us: Therefore, You have come upon them and destroyed them and made the memory of them to perish. (See fullness Isaiah 26 verse 13 thru 14.) But we speak the wisdom of Yahweh God in a mystery, even the hidden Wisdom, which Yahweh God ordained before the world, for our glory. For none of the princes of this world knew; for had they known of it, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory, Jesus the Christ of Yahweh God.
3rd Day of God's
creation.
And
God (Yahweh Elohim) said, Let the
waters under the heaven be gathered into one place, and let the dry land
appear and it was so. And Yahweh God called the dry land
Earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas, and saw that it
was good. And Elohim said: Let
the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit
tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the
earth: and it was so.
(Genesis 1
verse 11.)
5th Day.
And God
said, Let the waters
bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl
that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God
created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which
the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
(Genesis
1 verse 20 thru 21.)
6th Day.
And God said, Let the earth bring
forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing,
and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
(Genesis 1
verse 24.) And the Lord God formed
Man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath
of life and Man became a living soul.
(Genesis
2 verse 7.)
These scriptures may or may not be remarkable to the finite mind of the sophisticated free thinking man or woman. At first glance, these scriptures might be dismissed as primitive thinking and not worthy of closer inspection. However the subtleties of the essence of the TRUTH of Yahweh God are a stumbling block for the evolutionist speculative theories on the origins of life. Yahweh God is the Infinite God of the living, and as the Origin of all life, He intends for His creation to prosper according to the abundance within His creative Heart. In Yahweh God's universal creation, all matter and energy is subject to its Creator of Light, for all things are imprinted with the dynamic Power of the Creator's Words in the expanse of His creation. Therefore, with our subjective reasoning, we postulate that the only Eternal Yahweh God created subject matter, in obedience to the Word of His will, and brought forth life abundantly through Yahweh God's Rhema that is from Yahweh God's goodness of Heart.
We witness in the simplicity of written scripture that in the specified third and sixth days of the Lord's creation, at His Command, the earth brought forth from expectant elements, the order of plant, and animal species, subject to the creative dynamics of the Almighty's spoken Word. The same obedience and genesis effect can be said for the fifth day, when the waters also responded to the Lord Yahweh's conforming Word, and brought forth marine life forms, and even birds according to Elohim's Word. After those creation days within His ordered creation, then all species had their genetic seed within themselves and would reproduce their own kind.
The Genesis Power of Elohim's spoken Word over His created elements to bring forth elemental carbon life forms, is Absolute. But for that matter, all 'elemental matter' will be whatever Elohim commands or declares it will be. Again, this is because all atomic matter and energy is impregnated with the creative substance of Elohim's Living Word, and as such, all changeable matter and energy are subject to His Word, engendered by the thoughts of His creative Heart. The Eternal Yahweh God is Infinite in Power and Light, and the created substance of all things in Yahweh's universe, are pregnant with the genesis potential that is contained within the dynamics of His Infinite Word of TRUTH. What the Almighty Wills, will come to pass, even as the Holy Word of Yahweh's Holy Will has already come to Be.
We are not moved by the intellectual debates of mankind, for our God is Yahweh God of the living and the living WORD. Therefore Yahweh is not the god of the dead where there is no word to speak. From the beginning of Yahweh's creation, His WORD, the Lamb of God, would come TO BE Yeshua haMashiach, Jesus Christ the Son of Adam/Man, and IN His Resurrection from His death on the cross, He is alive forever more. (See Luke 20 verse 37 thru 39.)
Man's rebellion into death is silenced within the risen Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, for death is swallowed up in His victory over sin's self idolatrous mutiny. Now it is to be understood that the Spirit, of the living WORD of GOD, controls all formulated universal substance, and remains Constant in Yahweh God's absolute communication of power in nature, and also in the unseen spiritual realms of His creation. The evidential effects, of the Word of Yahweh God's Power, are visible to us in the grandeur of the heavens and the earth, nevertheless, it is understandable that finite earthly man cannot begin to fathom the fullness of Yahweh's Word of Infinite Depths, nor plumb the substantial abundance of the heart of Yahweh God: And so the dimensional nature of the Almighty God within His own infinity cannot be reasoned in the finite mind of earthly man. For thus says our (Yahweh) God: My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My WAYS. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My WAYS higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts". (Isaiah 55 verse 8 thru 9.)
As it is written: The secret things belong to The LORD our God, but the things revealed, belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the Words of His (Yahweh God's) Torah. (Deuteronomy 29 verse 29) The Almighty Yahweh God, just exists from Eternity without the possibility of man's comprehension. For that mater, Yahweh God's Eternal Word of creation is Constant, and sustains the universe with all of its elemental subject matter being obedient to His WORD of TRUTH. The universe, even within all of its complexities, is ordered, and it is ordered by Yahweh God with His Perfect WORD that we know as the Lord Jesus Christ. And He (Jesus) arose, and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He (Jesus) said unto His disciples: Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith? (Mark 4 verse 38 thru 40.)
Satan certainly understood the power of the Word of Yahweh God that was within His Messiah to change matter and energy. This is evident in written scripture when the devil challenged the Lord Jesus in the desert after the Lord had completed a forty day fast and was hungry. And when the tempter came to Jesus, he said: If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But Jesus answered and said, It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that Proceeds out of the Mouth of (Yahweh) God. (Matthew 4 verse 1 thru 4.)
Do we really live by every Word that proceeds out of the Mouth of Yahweh God? Should it not be expected that by Godly Faith, solitary matter multiplies at the Lord's spiritual Blessing and Command, even as when Jesus, the Word of Yahweh God, fed the multitude with the two fishes and the five barley loaves? This took place in Tiberius at the time of the Passover Feast of Unleavened Bread. Jesus, in seeing the following multitude, tries the faith of his disciples, and asks Philip: Where shall we buy bread that these may eat? When Philip reported to the Christ that the money was insufficient, then Andrew said to Jesus. There is a lad here, which has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: But what are they among so many? And Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place, so the men sat down in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, (See Setting the Table.) He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they wanted. When they were filled, He said unto His disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said: "This is of a truth: This is the prophet which should come into the world." (John 6 verse 6 thru 14.) (See Deuteronomy 18 verse 18 thru 19.)
The following day, when the people discovered that Jesus was no longer present in Tiberius, they found boats in Tiberius and crossed over the sea to Capernaum in search for the Lord Yeshua/Jesus. It would appear that this day is the second day of the seven day feast of Unleavened Bread. We submit for the reader's consideration that this second day, is the day of the Presentation Offering, set in the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, and the Lord Jesus Christ will present Himself to the Jewish people, as the Living Bread that came down from Heaven to be the Son of Man. Indeed as witnessed by the people who had some understanding: "This is of the Truth: This is the Prophet which should come into the world."
And when they found Jesus on the other side of the sea, they asked Him how it came to be that He was there. Jesus answered them, saying that they did not seek Him because of the miracles He did, but because they were fully fed with the unleavened barley bread. The barley bread would have been unleavened because of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Jesus then tells them they are to seek the free food of the Gift of LIFE that Christ would give to them for Yahweh God had sealed His Spirit of LIFE IN Christ Jesus. The men made several more inquires of Jesus and He corrects their misunderstandings, primarily concerning the manna, of which they inferred that Moses gave them.
Then Jesus said unto them, Truly, Truly I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but My Father gives you the True Bread from Heaven. For the Bread of God is He which comes down from heaven, and gives LIFE unto the world. Then they said unto Him: Lord, evermore give us this bread. And Jesus said unto them, I AM the Bread of LIFE: He that comes to Me (leaves his former place, and establishes himself with the Lord) shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, that you also have seen Me, and believe not. All that the Father gives to Me shall come to Me; and him that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do Mine Own Will, but the Will of Him (Yahweh) that sent Me. And this is Yahweh Father's Will which has sent Me, that of all which He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the Will of Him (Yahweh) that sent Me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on Him, may have everlasting LIFE: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, I AM the Bread which came down from heaven. (John 6 verse 26 thru 41.)
Do you murmur among yourselves and miss the: I AM the Bread that came down from Heave. For the Word that we teach, is that of Faith IN the Bread of Heaven that came down to earth, that we may eat of His unseen flesh, and with faith be dead because of sin IN the Body of Christ, and yet Live IN the Promise of the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ.
Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to Me, except the Father, Which has sent Me draw Him, and I will raise him up at the last day. Truly, Truly, I say to you, he that believes on Me has everlasting Life. I AM that Bread of LIFE. Verily Verily, I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood you have no LIFE in you. (See John 6 verse 41 thru 58.)
Perhaps through the Substance of Faith, it is possible for you to begin to see that from the abundance of the Heart of Yahweh God Almighty that all things in heaven and earth came from Yahweh God, and are subject to the Infinite Bounty within the WORD of His Excellency. Jesus the Messiah is the Eternal WORD of Yahweh God and IS the beloved Son of His Father God Almighty. The Soul of Christ is the Perfect Essence of His Father's Heart sent, as the Bread of Heaven to earth, to show forth the abundance of Sacrificial Love that is IN the Heart of His Father God. Although, not seeing or understanding all things, we came to believe in Yahweh God's Great Salvation Gift, because Yahweh God's Love, through His Holy Spirit, Who first birthed into the thoughts of our hearts the substance of faith that we might begin to believe in the TRUTH of the Almighty's Word. For, Yahweh God commends His Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5 verse 8.) Here in is Love, not that we love God, but that He Loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1st John 4 verse 10.)
We initially heard the Good News of God's mercy and forgiveness for mankind's sins through Yahweh God’s ambassadors, whether they be family, friends or strangers. All of the faithful were also born of faith in Yahweh God’s only Salvation, through a similar process of witnessing to the TRUTH of Yahweh God's Word of Salvation. After the new birth of the soul is confirmed through a public confession within the initial purifying baptismal Water into the Body of Jesus Christ, then the Grace of Yahweh God's Spirit of Holiness would continually reveal Yahweh God's Love and Mercy to this new born child. But the purity of that beginning seed of faith, comes from Yahweh God's Perfect Word of Salvation alone. It is essential that the heart within the mind and the soul of that person, entering into the Grace of Yahweh God’s New Covenant in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, will be a willing subject responding to Yahweh God's nurturing Holy Spirit of Grace. It is Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace in Communion that leads us in teaching and nurtures willing minds into all of the essential things, pertaining to the Salvation and Sanctifying Word of Yahweh God. For the Word of Jesus Christ is One TRUTH with the Heart of the Almighty God, His Father. (See Romans 10 verse 8 thru 11.)
Unfortunately, even well meaning theologians, pastors and prophets thinking they are doing Yahweh God a favor, can become rooted in false or cultural doctrines born of the mind of earthly man, and completely miss the Heart of Yahweh God. If this were not so, then why the confusions, and why are we not all saying the same things about the Bread of LIFE? If the mind is convinced with the logic of the earthly, then how much more difficult is it to lead leaders, who unknowingly oppose themselves and Yahweh God, into a right understanding that glorifies the Spirit of the Father’s WORD of TRUTH. If the leaders of the church are taught, only through the philosophical logic of the mind of the natural man of vanity, then only the finite mind of man will be glorified with false assumptions leading to dead ends.
The beginning and ending of this logic, has its roots in the Garden of Eden, where we can still hear Satan questioning the integrity of Yahweh God's Word, or attributing false innuendo to Yahweh God's Spirit of TRUTH. Biblical knowledge can be very good, but we are not justified by knowledge that is confined to the puffed up mind of earthly man, and does not motivate the heart and soul of the inquirer. No, it is Yahweh God's Gift of Grace received in the heart of a person, who having been given justifying faith continues to seek after Yahweh God's Salvation WAY, TRUTH and LIFE. From the beginning of our journey of faith IN Yahweh God, it is Yahweh Father God, Who, by His Holy Spirit of Grace, has drawn us to the Light of His Doctrine of Salvation and Sanctification IN Jesus Christ Alone. (See John 6 verse 43 thru 45.) The Lord Jesus Christ, being the Perfect Love of Yahweh God, obediently came to earth to be born in the flesh of Man/Adam, and was crucified to death for the sin of Adam and thereby the compliant sins of the world. Yes, even for those repented sins of doctrinal error. Because of the perfection of Jesus' Love and Obedience to His Father Yahweh God, then Jesus' sacrifice was accepted by Yahweh God and Jesus Christ was resurrected to LIFE in the Power of His Eternal Father. (See John 8 verse 42.)
And so, it is through our living Faith in the WORD of Yahweh God, that in Water Baptism, we sinners, because of our sins of death, are plunged into death within the Body of the innocent Lord Jesus Christ. As forgetful as we are, we are brought into remembrance of Christ death for our sins when we eat of the Lord's Body given for our sins of death. And now when we drink IN Faith of His Communion Blood then we are washed in the Flood of Christ's LIFE giving Blood that completely absolves sin's condemnation of death. IN Christ, the believer is a brand new person, born into the New Covenant Power of Yahweh God's Love and His Pardon sealed in the LIFE Blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. (See God's Amnesty Program.)
As new born children, when we are asking and seeking for the TRUTH in the Spirit of Yahweh God's WORD, and are persistent in our search, then Yahweh God's Spirit of Holiness, True to His WORD, will provide a necessary answer. (See Matthew 7 verse 7 thru 8.) As a pertinent example, I'm not familiar with the Hebrew or Greek languages, except as a concordant student, and I only had a superficial understanding of the ineffable Name for Yahweh God, being interpreted in English, as the I AM, that I AM, which comes from the Hebrew, EHEYEH ASHER EHEYEH. Of course, this is how the Lord acquitted Himself within His indescribable Name to Moses at the burning bush that was not consumed in the fire of the Lord's Presence. One afternoon, I awoke from a nap, hearing soundly in my spirit, 'I Will Be, what I Will Be'. Those who understand the languages of Scripture, know that this is the same as the, 'I AM, that I AM'. For me in my ignorance, it was a Rhema Word of revelation coming forth from Yahweh God's Holy Spirit, which added a greater depth of spiritual knowledge to the intended spirit of these writings. For your edification and research, let me recommend Names of God in Judaism found in the online Wikipedia. Also, before our Lord was known in English, as Jesus the Christ, He was called Yeshua haMashiach. (See also if available, the reference on the web, "How the Name of 'Yeshua' became 'Jesus'."

This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you,
that [Yahweh] God is
Light, and IN Him there is no darkness at all. (1st
John 1 verse 5.)
[Yahweh] God is Love (Agape), and those who abide in Love (Agape), abide in Yahweh God, and Yahweh God abides in them. (1st John 4 verse 16.)
The apostle John, hearing and witnessing the TRUTH of Jesus Christ, announces to the world that Yahweh God is Light and is absolute TRUTH, with no possibility of error within the infinite abundance of the Spirit of His Mind and Soul. With the Light of this revelation knowledge, John also tells us that Yahweh God is Agape Love. Even so, all of Yahweh God's inherent characteristics of supreme goodness, exist within the Light of Yahweh God's intrinsic Holiness. The angelic seraphim's do not cry to one another in vain, for they experientially behold and sense the Glory of Yahweh God's Holy Essence, for the Seraphim's cry one to another: Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD OF HOST, the whole earth is full of His Glory. (See Isaiah 6).
Apparently, there is no need for the angels to proclaim Yahweh God's many attributes, for they are inclusive within His Infinite Holiness. Yahweh God, in His intrinsic Holiness, remains Eternally constant in all of His attributes, but the Glory of His attributes are veiled to humanity, because of the darkness of the human mind, with its limitations innately encased within fallen flesh. If we see things only from our own perspective, then our own minds can lead us astray, and we stumble in the darkness of our own perceived light. If the light that is in you be darkness, then how gross is that darkness. The Holy Spirit of Yahweh God is the only One Who can illuminate those same minds of fallen flesh, so that darkness turns into Light, and despair into hope, and hope into the joy of Yahweh God's Salvation IN His Own Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. (See Romans 5 verse 1 thru 5.) The Light of Yahweh God is waiting to fill the whole of our being, displacing our darkness, so that we can shine like lamps revealing the TRUTH in the Light of the Messiah Yeshua's Salvation Gift to this world of darkness. (See Luke 11:33-35.)
Isaiah, a man called by Yahweh God to prophesy of the TRUTH, saw himself in a vision in the Presence of the LORD OF HOST, and through Yahweh God's Spirit of Grace, Isaiah experiences infinite purity. In his encounter with infinite Holiness, Isaiah says of himself: Woe is me, for I am undone because I am a man of unclean lips, dwelling in the midst of a people of unclean lips: For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Host. Listen and consider the Salvation Word of Yahweh God, as Jesus Christ applies the Word of TRUTH to the thoughts of man kind: For from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. (See Luke 6 verse 45.) Isaiah's revelation experience causes him to begin to see the true essence of his own heart and that of the heart of all mankind.
Jeremiah, later called to be a prophet of Yahweh God confirms the condition of man: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17 verse 8.) The spirit of Isaiah's own mind was corrupted within its own limited understanding of his self centered flesh, and his mouth certainly could not speak of that intrinsic Holiness of the King, the LORD OF HOST. But then a seraphim takes a hot coal from the altar and places it upon the lips of Isaiah's mouth, saying; This has touched thy lips, and your iniquity is taken away and thy sins are purged. From the fiery moment that the cleansing Grace of Yahweh God touched Isaiah's lips, the heart of Isaiah was cleansed from iniquity, and he was set apart to become a spokesperson of the Holiness and Righteousness of Yahweh God Almighty. Isaiah would prophecy of Yahweh God's future judgment against the sin of Israel and the world, and then of Yahweh God's redeeming mercy in the coming Messiah, the Son of Adam. But who will believe in Isaiah's report. Who will hear in their ears, and listen to the Heart of Isaiah's message of Yahweh God's Redeeming Love IN His Son Christ Jesus?
Yahweh God Almighty, is infinitely Holy, far beyond man's understanding and ability to define the essence of Yahweh God's Holiness. St Paul also speaks of his encounter with the heavenly, and of hearing and seeing things that were impossible to explain. (See 2nd Corinthians 12 verse 1 thru 5.) These wonderful marvels of Holy Yahweh God and His very Essence, leaves the philosophy of man in the mire of his dark thoughts, and his expressions of understanding only serves human vanity. Nevertheless, within Yahweh God's Holiness, there He is as Perfect Love, reaching out with mercy to lost mankind. Through His Holy WORD of Righteousness, He extends to us, through our faith IN Jesus Christ, His clemency for our nature of defiling sin. John and the other apostles, further declared that the Glory of Yahweh God came in the flesh, as the prophesied Messiah, to reveal Holy Yahweh God's redemptive Love for lost mankind, Jew and Gentile alike. For Yahweh God so loved the world that He gave the Holy LIFE of His only begotten Son, to be a reconciling offering for the rebellion of Adam and for the sinners of Mankind, so that whoever believes in the resurrected Christ of Yahweh God should not perish, but would gain eternal LIFE within the sacrificial Love of Jesus.
In the Garden of Eden, Yahweh God's Holy Presence was manifested to Adam and his Wife Ishshah, who was renamed Eve after they were both banished from the Garden. However, in Satan's beguiling deception, Adam and Ishshah, to be renamed Eve, were blinded to the TRUTH, and did not see Yahweh God's Love within His one restriction for them. For Yahweh God had forewarned them not to eat or touch the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, for it would bring forth their enslavement to sin and death. And now, with their disobedience to Yahweh God's Word, then death has come to all men, and now what we call love has become self serving, and centered in the survival of self. The love and trust for Yahweh God of the living, was lost in the heart of the children of Man/Adam, through Adam's sin of self serving idolatry. This very sin of self-idolatry, is passed on to all generations of man kind, and subsequently, we can see within ourselves that the nature of self being first, has set aside Yahweh God of the living, with ungodliness being perpetuated in all of Adam's generational seed of death until this day. In the natural man, we all love and do what is right in our own eyes of self justification, always seeking our own inward gratification.
Jesus teaches: For if you love them which love you, what thank have you? For sinners also love those that love them. And if you do good to them, which do good to you, what thank have you? For sinners also do even the same. And if you lend to them of whom you hope to receive, what thank have you? For sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But you love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and you shall be the children of the Highest: For He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Therefore you be merciful, as your Father also is merciful. (Luke 6 verse 32 thru 36.)
In Yahweh God's Salvation plan for mankind, EHEYEH ASHER EHEYEH, (the I AM that I AM) gave Moses the Torah, to constrain the children of Israel from doing the inevitable evil, contained within their self seeking hearts. Hindsight reveals for the most part, that the Jews did not understand the Love of Yahweh God when seeing the multiple restrictions and provisions contained within the Torah's quarantining instructions. The whole of the Torah, containing the Covenant in animal blood sacrifices for disobedience, were all part and parcel to bring forth Yahweh God's Eternal Covenant Promise, given in the Garden of Eden. (See Genesis 3 verse 15.) The genetic seed of Ishshah, known as in English as Woman, was taken from the side of Adam, and would be conceived by the Spirit of Yahweh God to become the flesh of the Man Jesus Christ and would vanquish the power of the seed of evil. In a final understanding, the Covenant people of Israel were forgetful to Yahweh God's Promised New Covenant, and did not keep all of the Covenant laws, because of the weakness of their selfish flesh. Nevertheless, Yahweh God would keep His Covenant Promise, and would oversee and maintain the True genetics of Adam; for the seed of the virgin Woman would be impregnated by the Word of Yahweh God, the Almighty. All of this was ordained before the foundation of the world, for Yahweh God's Lamb was ordained to be slain for the sins of mankind.
At Yahweh's designated time in His creation, the WORD of Yahweh God came into the world at His Eternal Father's behest, to save mankind from their innate self-serving sins of death. The Sacrificial Obedient Love of the sinless Christ, was poured out upon a cross, to bring the hearts of the children of Man, into a greater first Love for Father Yahweh God, Who gives LIFE to those who have faith IN His WORD. The consummate act of overcoming Love was manifested in time, when the WORD of Father Yahweh God came into this world, to be conceived in the ovum seed of a virgin woman, and to be born the Son of Adam/Man: For Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father would then give Himself to a cruel death on the Cross, so as to reconcile sinful mankind to their Creator.
Witness the TRUTH of Yahweh God, for only the perfect Sacrificial Love and total Obedience in the LIFE of the last Son of Adam, Who was given for the sin and death of the first Adam, would satisfy the Holiness of the Almighty Yahweh God. Sin and death came by the first Man's rebellion, and in Yahweh God's justice, there would be a second Man that would overcome the sin and death of the first Adam. Being born in the flesh as the Son of Man, Jesus Christ came fully in the weakness of human flesh, to be a surrogate for mankind’s sin's breading death. Our sin and death could not hold the Righteous Son of Man in the grave, for Yahweh God was well pleased with the selfless Love that Christ offered for all sinners, and Yahweh God resurrected to LIFE the sinless Lamb from the corruption of our sins and death.
It is essential to see, that the Love of Jesus was not centered in Him self, but was centered in the absolute selfless Love and Trust of His Father Yahweh God. For Yahweh God so loved the world, that He gave the most Perfect Sacrificial Gift of His Beloved Son, as the Infinite's measure of a Perfect Love that overcomes this world of sin and death. It was the Holy Righteousness of Yahweh God's greater Love for mankind that was manifested on the cross in the lifeless Body of the crucified Jesus Christ. Yahweh God is Love, and in Him, there is no shadow or darkness at all. Life is in the Blood, and the LIFE of Jesus Christ is His Soul that is centered in His Father Yahweh God, and is the LIFE of Perfect Love that is greater than our understanding. The Sacrifice of Yahweh God's Perfect Love that is ONE IN His Son Jesus Christ, was poured out upon the dust of the earth, so as to reconcile the world unto the only Lord Yahweh God of the living. (See 2nd Corinthians 5 verse 19.) Mankind's Faith in Christ's Perfect Love and Trust of His Father Yahweh God will cast out all fear and confusion in the mind of man. That Perfect Love came to us, as a Gift of Peace from Yahweh God in His giving of His only begotten and beloved Son. (See 1st John 4 verse 16 thru 19.) Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good thing given, and every Perfect Gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights, with Whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. In the exercise of His Will, He (Yahweh God) brought us forth by His Word of TRUTH, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. (James 1 verse 16 thru 18.)
The Salvation Gift of Yahweh God's Love, is expressed in His resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, and when applied within the whole of our souls, never fails, in spite of the weaknesses of our flesh! The on going application of the antiseptic Salve of Yahweh God’s Love, through His Spirit IN the Blood of Jesus Christ, leads to the sanctification of the life of the soul, and the renewing of the spirit of the mind of the believer, who through new born faith in the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, has begun to trust in the Spirit and TRUTH of Yahweh God's spoken WORD. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness: And the blood of Jesus Christ His Son, cleanses us from all sin. (1st John 1 verse 9 then 7.) How often have you heard a pastor quote verse 9, and not the leading Word of Yahweh God contained in verse 7, which proclaims the necessary New Covenant Blood of Yahweh God's Cleansing Grace? It is impossible for faith in the WORD of Yahweh God to exist in man's unbelief in the TRUTH.
Our faith must find its center in the whole Person of Jesus Christ and Yahweh God's Unfailing WORD of Sanctifying Grace through His Spirit of TRUTH. Then we can find rest in Christ's Resurrection Faith and Righteousness IN His Father Yahweh God, and not in the strength of our own presumed goodness. Christ alone is the only WAY into the kingdom of Yahweh God, for no man can enter into the kingdom of His Father, unless he first passes through the Door of LIFE IN Jesus Christ. Truly, through faith IN Yahweh God, we are born of the regenerative seed of the WORD of Yahweh God, germinated through the perfection of the Love IN Jesus Christ that comes from the Father's same unselfish Love.
And Jesus dismissing Himself, says: For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father, which sent Me, He gave Me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His Commandment is LIFE everlasting: Therefore, whatsoever I speak, even as the Father Said unto Me, so I Speak. (John 12 verse 49 thru 50.)
However, Yahweh God's Love and Grace through His Spirit, can be rejected with man's continued love for selfish sin, or hidden away with false knowledge, or supplanted with man's traditions, all born out of the prideful mind of flesh, thus making the solid Rock of Yahweh God's WORD ineffectual for so many souls. If God is Love, and infinite Light, with no shadow or darkness within the heart of His spoken Word, then what part of the following scripture is not Holy, absolute TRUTH? “This is My Blood of the New Covenant that is poured out for many for the remission of sin.”
Let's begin to reason together, and make no further grievous mistake concerning Yahweh God's New Covenant WORD and His unmerited Grace, given for the sanctification of sinful man. Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh God is the Eternal God of Covenant, and has Personified His New Covenant, with the Sacrifice of His Lamb. For Emanuel was conceived in the flesh of Adam. as Yahweh God's only begotten Son and the Eternal WORD of TRUTH that speaks of His Holy Father Yahweh God. For Yahweh God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son to be made in the flesh of Man, and being in the Perfect Love of Yahweh God, Jesus was sacrificed for the sins of the world. Sin and death has no hold what so ever on sinless Jesus Christ as the Perfect Agape Love of Yahweh God Almighty.
The Holiness of Yahweh God is not understood by earthly man. If any man is not clothed IN the righteousness of Jesus Christ and the Perfection of His Love, then it would be impossible to come into the Presence of Yahweh God's Holiness, for Yahweh God's absolute Holiness would destroy that man. (See Isaiah 6.) A person of Faith IN Jesus Christ, may not understand all that is written, or given through the Spirit of Holy Yahweh God, but wisdom would say, it is better to acknowledge our ignorance before Yahweh God and man, rather than to proudly degrade the Spiritual Wisdom of the Holy undefiled spoken WORD of Jesus Christ: And the WORD said, "Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matthew 23 verse 11, NIV). ”For the Word of (Yahweh) God is Living, and Active, and Sharper than any two-edged sword, and Piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His Sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the Eyes of Him, with Whom we have to do". (Hebrews 4 verse 12 thru 13.)
We refuse to limit Yahweh God and the Power of His WORD in any manner, and the wise of heart would say, Amen. By Yahweh God's Grace and His immeasurable Love, we have envisioned scriptural statements that are thought to be metaphoric, and have found them to be of spiritual substance, which will cut to the substance of the error of man's ignorant thoughts. When the Lord Jesus says, "I AM the Door", then believe without supposition, for He will be the Eternal Substance of that Door, which no man can open, and no man can close. I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: No man comes unto the Father, but by Me. (John 14 verse 6.) I AM that I AM, for, I Will Be what I Will Be.

The Elemental Origin of
all things.
Yahweh God’s manifest Glory is seen in the heavens, for by the Glory of His creative WORD and Lamb, He created the fabric of time and planted the heavens and the earth within the flow of time: Now through His Word of Salvation, the Eternal and Almighty Yahweh God reveals to His creation of mankind, Yahweh God’s unsurpassing Sacrificial Love for the lost sinners of mankind. (See Hebrews 1 verse 1 thru 2, verse 8 thru 12.) Foundationally, we have already expressed that our faith, knowledge and belief, is as it is written in scripture: All things that are made, were made by Yahweh God through His Eternal WORD and consist in Him (as the power and light substance of Yahweh God's spoken WORD), and all things made are held together in obedience to HIS Eternal WORD of Power.
Scripture references:6
In the beginning (of time), Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
Yahweh God has in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He has appointed Heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds; Who being the brightness of His Glory, and the expressed Image of His Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High: (Hebrews 1 verse 1 thru 3.) And, Thou Lord in the beginning, has laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Thy hands: They shall perish; but Thou shall remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment; And as a vesture shall Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: But Thou art the Same, and Thy years shall not fail. (Hebrews 1 verse 10 thru 12.)
He is the Image of the invisible Yahweh God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities, all things have been created through Him, and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together, and by Him all things consist. (Colossians 1 verse 15 thru 17. ) For us there is but one Yahweh God, the Father, from Whom are all things, and we in Him; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, by Whom all things came to be, and through Whom we live. (1st Corinthians 8 verse 6.)
In the beginning of Elohim's universal creation, Yahweh God, with His Infinite Wisdom and Power, brought forth from the creative substance of His Eternal WORD, the fabric of time, and then released in time His light of creation with all its dimensions, seen and unseen, known and unknown. The substance of Yahweh God's Light energy existed in timeless Eternity, certainly long before Yahweh God's creative WORD brought forth, in the setting of time, the substance of the heavens and His order in His creation of the earth. The creative WORD of Yahweh God set the boundaries of the land and the water on earth, and then in His days of creation, He brought forth into existence the plants and animals, and then finally the formation of Man/Adam by His own hand. In the order of all things, it should be evident that Yahweh God's creative light energy, with its unlimited properties in Yahweh God, is necessary for all life forms to exist.
After the fall of Adam, with Adam's willful separation from the heart of Yahweh God, all of man kind has been lost in the violence of sin's death, becoming within themselves a dark void, lacking the essential spiritual Light and TRUTH that only comes from the Infinite Yahweh God of the Living. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Yahweh God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him (the Word); and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. And the Light shines in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not. (John 1 verse 1 thru 5.) He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. (John 1 verse 10.)
In Yahweh God's appointed redemptive time, Yahweh God sent into this world, the great Spiritual Light of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus/Yeshua was the embodiment of Eternal Light and the pre-incarnate WORD of TRUTH. The first Man/Adam sinned, and brought death to all of man-kind, but in Yahweh God's justice, His TRUTH came to the earth in the genetic form of the first Man/Adam, so as to redeem man-kind from sin and death. In Yahweh God's scale of justice, the first Man Adam selfishly rebelled against Yahweh God and brought death to all of mankind, but the Man Christ Jesus by His selfless sacrifice unto death, was raised to LIFE by Yahweh God. All that would fully believe in the incarnate Man Jesus Christ would see the Resurrection and the LIFE of mankind.
The justice of the Almighty Yahweh God is tempered with His mercy, for Yahweh sent His WORD to become His Only Begotten Son of flesh, and to lead the sin captive souls of men out of their darkness of death, and into the Light of Yahweh Father God's Holy and Eternal Presence. Jesus speaking to the accusing Pharisees said: I AM the Light of the world; he who follows Me, will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of LIFE. (John 8 verse 12.) That True Light of Christ is infinitely essential for the new birth of the souls of human kind, for they are called out of the darkness of death, so that they may live in the abundance of LIFE that only Yahweh God can provide. For this Light of LIFE comes from the very Heart of the Father of Creation, and is centered upon the Almighty's great Love for the life of His creation of human kind. Therefore, Jesus Christ, Yahweh God's Word of Salvation and the LIFE of mankind, came forth from the bosom of His Father, and with the desire of the Heart of His Father, the Son of Man also desires to bring the lost children of man kind, into the bosom of His Father Yahweh God Almighty where LIFE abounds. A new birth of the dead soul of man, is absolutely necessary, for it is followed by the renewing of the spirit of their mind through the leading of Christ's Holy Spirit of TRUTH. No man has seen Yahweh God at any time; the Only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of His Father, He has declared Him. (In full Context John 1 verse 1 thru 18.)
None of us know anything about the mind of our own small heart, let alone the great expanse of the Heart of the Infinite Yahweh God Almighty. Even so, it should be evident that for the promise of our new life to continue in Christ, we must remain in the Presence of the Giver of the Light of Yahweh God's WORD and Eternal Son, Jesus Christ. (See Jeremiah 17 verse 9 thru 10.) For Jesus Christ is the Light of the World, and within Him there is no darkness at all. We, of the faith IN Christ Jesus, have each become accountable to this great Light of Christ that Yahweh God has given to us, for Yahweh desires to spread His Light to fully expand our own restrictive hearts.
I pray that the reader will continue to give room within your own heart, and to allow these writings that speak further on this great Light within Jesus Christ. The writing are presented for the edification for all of the living members within Christ's Body, and reveal His Grace and revelation that the Lord through His Spirit of TRUTH birthed into the heart and soul of a living member IN His Body.

"Now, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things that are not seen." (Hebrews 11 verse 1 .)
In the beginning of our new birth, faith is a spiritual concept, as yet seemingly having no form. The abstraction of faith is birthed in the brain (mind) of man through the processing of our natural senses in relation to the environment around us. The Apostle Paul writes about Godly faith coming into our being through our hearing, and the hearing by the WORD of Yahweh God’s manifest Glory that is in the unknowable expanse of heaven. By the Glorious creative WORD Yahweh Elohim He created the fabric of time and planted the heavens and the earth within the flowing fabric of time. Now through His WORD of Salvation, the Eternal and Almighty Yahweh God reveals to His creation of mankind, of Yahweh God’s unsurpassing Sacrificial Love for the lost sinners of mankind. (See Hebrews 1 verse 1 thru 2, verse 8 thru 12.) Foundationally, we have already expressed that our faith, knowledge and belief, is as it is written in Scripture: All things that are made, were made by Yahweh God through His Eternal WORD and consist in Him (as the power and light substance of Yahweh God's spoken WORD), and all things made are held together in obedience to HIS Eternal WORD of Power.

Therefore, our beginning spiritual logic is that without the substance of the brain to process the hearing, sighted or tactile information, then the beginnings of abstract faith cannot exist in a person, simply because it takes the substance of the brain to process and store information, and then the mind to conceive any relative thoughts, spiritual or other wise. It is then, through the substance and inertia of the thoughts of the mind, which are electro-chemically formulated within the grey matter of the brain, that we can begin to embrace the substance of the possibilities of the spiritual, with the evidence of that which is not seen by the natural eye. And so, the spiritual substance of God's Salvation faith can change the root substance of unbelief in the neuronal mind of man, and initiate the beginnings of new unseen possibilities, within the spiritual mind and soul of the new born recipient of Faith IN the Almighty God of Salvation.
And if any man think that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. But if any man Love Yahweh God, the same is known of Him. (For Amplified version see 1st Corinthian 8 verse 2 thru 3.)
On the matter of Faith in the Eternal God, it is impossible to receive from the unseen Person of Yahweh God, except through holy faith in Who He IS, as seen in the Spirit of His unfailing WORD. Therefore, as we think or believe in the substance of the mind, and then initiate through action of this new found faith in the TRUTH of the WORD of Yahweh God, so we become, through that same faith in the Holy One, Who Promises Life more abundantly. True Godly faith, although it can not be seen, is active and alive, and moves the thoughts of the heart of the believer, into the heart of Yahweh God our Savior. The birth of this unseen holy substance of Faith in the Promised Salvation Word of Yahweh God, is prepared to wash and renew the substance of the mind and soul of our being, into the active essence of love, hope and humility through Yahweh God's Gift of beginning faith.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him: For he that comes to Yahweh God must believe that He exist, and that He (Yahweh) is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11 verse 6.)
Is it possible to see this active essence of God's fruit of Yahweh God's Spirit working within the spirit of a person of faith?
We conceived within the mind the following series of paragraphs to challenge your invisible thought processes, and the powers of spiritual deductions contained within the spirit mind of your being. Perhaps, when all is finished, the true substance of our Communion with the One Spirit of our Savior and with one another, will begin to take on a different spectrum, apart from the natural senses.
To begin our perceptual exercise into faith and light energy, and to challenge the mind’s learned understanding, let's consider a portion of the first article of the definition of the word “SPIRITUAL.” 1: Of or pertaining to spirit, as distinguished from matter; having the nature of spirit; consisting of the spirit; incorporeal: not tangible or material. The definition is from the Funk and Wagnall Dictionary.
Now, with this conventional linear definition established in the spiritual essence of our mind, let us reason together: Are there any unseen properties of the full spectrum of light energy, known and unknown that might be considered spiritual or having the essence of spirit? By gleaning from the science of physical light, we may have an even better perspective of the spiritual Light, which is constant in the universe and active in the Word of Yahweh God. Hopefully, our little study in the greatness of our God of the creation of all things visible and invisible, will bring forth a greater living faith in those who believe in Yahweh God, and give Light to those who are yet in darkness.
Consider this: Without special interventions, there are elemental properties of natural Light, which cannot be seen, and seemingly would fit within the definition of spiritual. The unaided eye of man can only see with the illumination of what would be understood as white light. That same white light diffused through a prism, reveals the broader color spectrum and properties of light, as expressed in the colors of the rainbow. The simple prism began to expand our understanding of Light energy, and revealed what was hidden from our natural view.
And so, this same multiple expression of white light, seen by its refraction through the prism, is also seen through its illumination of matter, as it interacts with our surroundings. The whole of the earth, glories in color through the full spectrum of emitted Light energy, as seen through the eye, and processed by the brains visual system. Remarkably, this glorious photoelectric processing in the mind of man, is only partially understood in medical science. And the Creator Yahweh God, Who created the eye, said by the Power of His Eternal Spirit: "Let there be Light".
There are other multiple expressions of Light energy, more appropriately known scientifically as electromagnetic radiation, all of which remains totally invisible to the unaided naked eye. It is only through the instruments of spectroscopy that the diverse natures of Light are known to exist through their exertion of measurable and observable force. Generally, the remainder of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of gamma rays, x-rays, infrared, micro-waves, radio waves and ultraviolet radiation. The smallest unit of this measurable light or electromagnetic force is called a photon. Remarkably for our consideration, the photon, as quantum light, is now considered as multi-phased, exhibiting both properties of wave energy, and particle energy at the same time. In this case, could the wave energy, having no matter, be considered spiritual? But then again, neither the wave energy nor the particle energy can be seen, in what science defines as a photon.
In all cases of the electromagnetic spectrum of radiation, every one of the forms of Light energy, without adequate protection can absolutely kill all life forms. The linear definition seen in the dictionary of that, which is defined as spiritual and is made acceptable in the mind of man, is not definitive in the light of all things and how all things came into existence. The Eternal Creator Yahweh God is absolute LIGHT, and by His Word He brought forth light energy and the substance of all that exists. Now, if this faith premise can be received as spiritually unseen, and yet is substantial truth by what is manifested in the earth and the heavens, then what is the relative Substance of the Word of Yahweh God? The incarnate Man, Jesus Christ, the very Word of Yahweh God, says:
I AM the LIGHT of the world; and, "I AM the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE of men. No one comes to the Father except through Me". (John 8 verse 12 and chapter 14 verse 7).
No human can live, let alone come into the Presence of the Infinite radiation and holiness of the unchangeable Lord Yahweh God Almighty, except that a person be made in the image of Jesus Christ, for He is the Light and Savior of this darkened world of sinners. If Faith has a substance, then so does the TRUTH, for the Spirit and the TRUTH are one, being made flesh and blood in the embodiment of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. Therefore, the substance of the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, is one substance in the Word of God made flesh and blood, and is not a passive allegory for carnal man to trivialize in their understanding of spiritual, and the LIGHT of the TRUTH that makes men free. The TRUTH is Christ Jesus that makes man free, and not some arbitrary truth manufactured by the mind of man.
Moving on in our relative spatial time, we know that energy can change the state of matter. For an example: In a fluorescent tube, when the flow of electric energy is applied to the gaseous matter through the electrode, their atoms are excited and emit photons causing the gas to fluoresce into different colors depending on the elemental gas. The colors in order of discovery were blue (Mercury), white (Carbon dioxide), gold (Helium), and red (Neon). Yahweh God's LIGHT Energy, physical or spiritual, can change our perspective of possibilities, when brought to conception within the substance of the inquiring mind of man. The substance of our thoughts can be changed, when we begin to search for the TRUTH with all of our hearts, and when we find and receive the absolute TRUTH, Jesus Christ, then the LIGHT of the TRUTH within Yahweh God's Spirit of Grace begins to illuminate our understanding, and sets about the liberation of our darkened hearts.
Then shall you call upon Me, and you shall go and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you. For you shall seek Me, and find Me when you shall search for Me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, says the LORD (Yahweh): And I will turn away your captivity. (Jeremiah 29 verse 12 thru 14 .)
The unseen Yahweh God, by His Word of Power, is the Creator of the seen and the unseen. In the rush of our natural life, we tend to take so many things for granted, and fail to behold the unseen supernatural Grace of Yahweh God, working for our good. For that matter, in our natural earthly setting, we may not necessarily see, nor comprehend the power and energy that is necessitated in the change of the elemental natures of matter. If we have so little understanding of Yahweh God's Glory and Power revealed in nature, how then do we comprehend the Glory and Power of the Word of Yahweh God that changes willing hearts? The power, we seek to know, is revealed in the Person of Jesus Christ, Who is the Light of the World, and the WORD of Yahweh God, Who was born to be the only Begotten Son of Yahweh God. With faith in Yahweh God, we began to understand today that the scriptures, although inertly written with ink upon paper, spiritually became actively alive within our hearts. Now with Faith in the fluidity of the Water of the Word of Yahweh God, we seek the Power of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace, to wash and renew hearts and minds that remain open to the Love of Holy Father Yahweh God.
With the Water of the Word of Yahweh God in mind, let us present a metaphoric illustration of the unseen power of the universe, to help make a change comparison, of the natural to the supernatural, and then give an opportunity for the natural mind, to either fathom or reject the potential for the supernatural. In our simple example of change in the natural; one atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen, bond to form one molecule of water H2O. Electrons orbiting the nuclei of an atom's outer rings are the principle agent of molecular bonding. Each elemental gas of Hydrogen and Oxygen gives up its solitary existence, and unites to form one molecule of water. The abundance of liquid Water, in one way of the other, is essential for the life of all beings. Freeze the water, then it still exist but is transfigured into another state of solid ice. The state of ice is without noticeable fluidity, that is, until an outside heat force greater than 32 degrees Fahrenheit is applied. Near earth's ground zero, when heat energy that is equal or greater than 212 Fahrenheit degrees is applied to water, then the liquid is charged to a boil, and gaseous steam is emitted. In any state, whether it be liquid, gaseous or frozen, it is still H2O, regardless of the natural energy that is applied to its elemental nature, electrolysis not with standing. So then, what is the state of your faith's understanding of the potential of the Water of the Word of Yahweh God; frozen cold, or fluid and charged with expectancy? Can the degree of a man's faith in the Word of Yahweh God, limit Yahweh God's response to that faith in any way? (For a few frozen examples see (Matthew 13 verse 54 thru 58), (Luke 16 verse 29 thru 31), (Revelation 3 verse 15 thru 16). (For enlightenment then visit the Israelites in the desert, or Adam and Eve in the Garden).
When the Lord Jesus was Transfigured on a high mountain, Peter, James and his brother John were with the Lord Jesus.
And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking to the Lord. Now, what was the substance of Christ's transfigured Being in those revelation moments of time? (See Matthew 17 verse 1 thru 6.) But, behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I AM well pleased: You hear Him." (Matthew 17 verse 5.)
Again let me ask, what was the substance of His Person when the risen Jesus Christ first appeared to the apostles in the upper room? Was His Body physical or spiritual? Then again, is the Light of the world, and the Word as Creator of the universe, limited only to the form of our defined understanding and knowledge of the spiritual? Was He not glorified in both the spiritual and physical at the same time through the Holy Spirit of God Who was One within the Son of God and the Son of Man? Once again, if our understanding is limited in the natural world, then what do you suppose the degree of our ignorance might be in the supernatural realm of the WORD of Yahweh GOD, the Creator of all things?
Finite earthly man, must plead his overall ignorance, to the Glorious Eternal WORD of Yahweh God, for the WORD of GOD maintains the universe within Yahweh God's creation of the fabric of time and space. In the Greatness of the Eternal God, He does not overlook the heart of man, and can bring the Light of faith into the substance of the mind that is searching for the TRUTH. The I AM that I AM, the only True Constant of the universe is the Light of the world, and is only limited in the closed heart of the person, who remains frozen in unbelief, and that person does not even know the substance of their own soul, and whose thoughts remain oblivious to the Infinite substance of Power in the WORD of Yahweh God.
Seek the LORD, while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My WAYS higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow comes down from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater: So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My Mouth: It shall not return unto Me void, but My Word shall accomplish that which I please and My Word shall prosper in the thing where I sent it. (Isaiah 55 verse 6 thru 11.)

The Universal Law
of Increase:
Truly, Truly, I say unto you; except a kernel of wheat
fall into the ground and die, it abides alone:
but if it dies, it brings forth
much fruit.
(John
12 verse 24.)
We echo again the WORD of Yeshua:
If the seed dies, it brings forth much fruit.
Finite man, who lives in four space time dimensions, has an unfathomable dilemma in searching out the beginnings of time, let alone the Infinite's dwelling Place of Eternal Power. Through an inquiring mind, the physicist, in the search for the origins of the universe, has acquired a natural faith from knowledge gained through experimentation, and is only now beginning to have a finite understanding of the never-ending realm of light, matter and energy. If Einstein's equation E=mc2,, that is Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared, is true, then consider the possibility that all that is encompassed within the substance of the symbolic equation, is imprinted within Yahweh God's genesis seed of Light that spawns the universe through the Infinite Power of the Infinite Yahweh God's spoken WORD that is Light. All that is known and unknown, within the enter-changeableness of matter, light and energy, is pregnant with the expectancy of the return of one substance into a multitude of substances. In the physical world, all matter and energy performs according to the design potential of Yahweh God's Word of abundance and increase, through a cycle of renewal.
Witness for yourselves, the seeding principle that we are to understand in John 12 verse 24,
Truly, Truly, I say unto you; except a kernel of corn fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit.
This Scripture declares that Life comes forth out of death. Indeed, the Pure Eternal WORD of the Creator became Man and died for the sin and the death for the world of humanity, and was planted in a grave. But this Man was resurrected from the grave as the Light of the World, so that He would bring forth an abundance of Light in the new Life of redeemed men.
However, the WORD of the Creator Yahweh God should be elemental to the understanding of our spiritual faith in the Power of the WORD of the only Infinite Yahweh God of creation. Man's theoretical science of space and time, need not be a stumbling block of fear to our Christian Faith in the WORD of Almighty Yahweh God, but may set a sure foundation in the inquiring mind with a definitive answer to what can not be absolutely clarified in the Scripture's of Genesis. Even theoretical science can glorify our Infinite Yahweh God, so long as man's theories do not detract from the TRUTH, Whose story is written in Scripture, nor would it set at naught the Infinite Yahweh God of our affection.
Let's explore a portion of man's theories. A Christian, Dr. Hugh Ross, with a PhD in physics, is the founder of "Reasons to Believe". At the time of these writings, Dr Ross had become very impressed with the mathematical propositions in "String Theory". For the physicist, these newer theoretical and mathematical expressions seem to bring together, Einstein's Special and General Relativity equations together in cooperation with Quantum theories, and into the possibilities of creation within 10-space time dimensions. Because these inclusive theories and mathematical calculations, many astrophysicist have now theorized that the universe, indeed had a beginning, and was initiated out of the void of nothing, from a genesis seed of infinitely small dimensions with unfathomable density, containing infinite power with the design exponentials for the universe. A mouth full, but very simply; the ultimate conclusion in the theory, is that for matter to even exist in the very precise beginnings of the so called "Big Bang", there had to be a Designer of that genesis seed that contained the blueprint of the universe.
We will speculate a little with the theory of the inexplicable Big Bang theory that was conceived in the mind of man, only because the Infinite Designer provided a little fuel for speculative thought within the beginning script of the book of Genesis. (See In the Beginning.) The very first sentence declares: In the beginning, God (Elohim) (ALEPHא TAV ת) created the heaven and the earth. What then does, "In the beginning" mean, if not the possibility of the beginning of time and space contained with in itself? For anything to exist in what will be the universe, there first had to be a beginning of time with its fabric of space, and if there is a beginning of free flowing time then the physicist speculates of the possibility for an end to the spandex space time fabric. Some of the astrophysicist continually wrestle with the crux of the matter, but the possibility of an end of time is only known by the Eternal Yahweh God the Creator of time, for He holds all things together with the Eternal Power of His WORD.
In lieu of the noiseless so called big bang theory, we logically could speculate that within the space time fabric, there was a natural void, where the Word of Yahweh God planted His universal Seed within His created fabric of space time. Then the infinitely small genesis seed of the universe with its unfathomable density, would also contain the design exponentials of power that the enigmatic Big Bang would theoretically create with the changing substances of the universe.
In the above speculation, we biblically would theorize that with the explosive death of that solitary WORD Seed of Yahweh God, then the whole universe of substance expanded into existence within the flexible fabric of space time. We might consider that the genesis seed of the universe, was planted through the unknowable-dimensional power of the WORD of the Infinite Yahweh God of creation.
However as a rebuttal to the esteemed scientist, the Eternal Yahweh God does not inhabit His creation of time and space. Eternity is non dimensional, and neither is the Infinite Yahweh God Almighty dimensional, for He inhabits the unknowable dimensions of Eternity. The Eternal Yahweh God, Who inhabits Eternity is not subject to His creation of time and space, and yet the Infinite from His Position in Eternity is free to work within His creation of the fabric of space time.
Well, for the present time period, let the astrophysicist continue to search in futility for their answers in theoretical science as they theorize their suppositions without a True Foundation set in the Infinite TRUTH of the Eternal Almighty Yahweh God. The obvious fact remains that there were no finite human beings present at the beginning of time to record Yahweh God's timeless day of His creation event. If the timeless Infinite Yahweh God of creation abides in Eternity, then one day of the Lord is as if it were a thousand years, and a thousand years as if it were a day. (See 2nd Peter 3 verse 8.)
Infinity, has no limiting definition of space and time, and within Infinity there is no definitive ground zero for the planting of the seed of the universe. Mathematically, the sum gain of infinity's infinite numbers is always Zero, and Zero does not equate in the work in Astrophysics, and therefore the mathematical search for the "Theory of Everything" will always end in the futility of knowing that the defining mathematical equations always ends in zero ∞ Infinity.
Simple examples of balanced equations of infinities infinite numbers: +1 -1=0, +.00000123 -.00000123=0, etc ad-infinitum. In simple or spatial mathematics, Zero equals infinity, and if the physicist's mathematical equations all end in Zero then there is no theory that is feasible, apart from the Infinite Yahweh God Almighty. For in fact, every thing that exist is from the Infinite Yahweh God, Who created all things including the spatial time fabric of His universe, that exist by and through the Infinite Power of the Almighty's timeless WORD of ∞.
Augustine of Hippo writes in the 2nd Book of "The City of God": "What kind of days these were, it is extremely difficult, or perhaps impossible for us to conceive, and how much more to say!" The timing in the beginnings of Creation is in the Infinite Yahweh God's relative time, and not in the common man's notion of measured time revolving around the earth's movement around the Sun. or of the Moon's revolving around the earth in a 24 hour cycle, From the timelessness of Eternity, the Sun with the Moon became evident on the Creator's third and fourth days of His creation. Not being present in Yahweh God's universal creation, we with Paul might say, that "by faith we understand that the universe was created by the Word of (Yahweh) God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. (Hebrews 11 verse 3. ESV.)
The unproven theory of the noiseless big bang neither hampers our understanding of the Glory of the Almighty Yahweh God, nor does it deter from the scriptures as they have been given to us, "for in the beginning --- God created the heaven and the earth". Yahweh God's ordained seeding process, instituted by His WORD, continues unabated in His universal plan of increase.
For Yahweh Father God has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son, IN Whom we have redemption through His LIFE giving Blood, even for the forgiveness of sin. He is the image of the invisible Yahweh God and is the first born of every creature:
For by Him ( the WORD to be born Jesus Christ) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. (See Colossians 1 verse 12 thru 17.)
Let it be established within the core of our heart of our thinking minds, that the only True Constant of the universe is the WORD of Yahweh GOD, and without the WORD, nothing is constant, and nothing would exist. Is it any wonder that the scientist are baffled with the unseen dark energy and dark matter that in their reasonable hypothesis, holds the universe together? Then too, if one does not understood that Jesus Christ (Yeshua haMashiach), is the expressed Person of the WORD of Yahweh GOD conceived in the genetic flesh of Man, then that individual will not remain constant in Christ, and the mind's blasé attitude toward the WORD of Yahweh GOB, will not be able to retain the spiritual substance of Yahweh God's Salvation WORD of TRUTH. (See Matthew 13 verse 18 thru 22.)
Unto His Son, Yahweh God says:
And,
Thou O Lord, in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth; and
the heavens are the works of Thine hands:
They shall perish; but Thou shall remain;
and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
And as a vesture shall Thou fold them up,
and they shall be changed: but
Thou Art the Same,
and Thy years shall not fail.
(Hebrews 1
verse 10
thru 12.)
The universe is massive beyond our understanding. Some of the astrophysicists in their speculation, have hypothesized that the universe may be as old as fourteen billion years of age, and that if the universe had a beginning, then the universe is is not from everlasting to everlasting. And if the physicist's speculative hypothesis holds any water, then they believe that the universe is growing older, and may have an end when the lights of the stars go out, leaving a cold dead dark place. But our Yahweh God "is" from everlasting to everlasting, and the Infinite Yahweh God does not change His Mind. His purpose is unchangeable in any space time continuum and His Power is that of the only Infinite Yahweh God, Who inhabits timeless Eternity. There are certain quantum calculations that always end with incalculable infinity, which would be appropriate, seeing that the Infinite Yahweh God Almighty and Creator of all things cannot be calculated. The WORD of the Infinite Yahweh God of Creation is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, for the Aleph Tav is One with His Father Yahweh God, Who existed in Eternity, before all things of His incalculable creation came into existence. (See again Prelude to Light.)
In Yahweh God Almighty's Infinite Power, the fabric of the universe, like an old piece of cloth, can be rolled up like a scroll or shaken like a rag. Indeed, the physicist believes that space and time is like an unseen space time fabric within the universe, and this structure containing all things is held together by the as yet unknown dark matter and dark energy. Without this unseen dark matter and energy, the universe would fly apart, for gravity, by itself, could not hold any of the stars together within the galaxies. We can see for ourselves that the physicist's answer to the unseen dark energy question, lies in this scripture statement where: All things were created by Him, and for Him: He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. The Infinite Yahweh God existed before His creation of all thing of His universe that is composed on the parchment of time. Infinity has no time and can not be defined by any means within the knowledge of finite man who was created from the dust of the earth.
Therefore, we believe that the Infinite Yahweh God of Light, is not confined to His creation or to any time restraints, but works within the elemental, and yet apart from that which He has established through the dynamic dimensions of His WORD of Power. Seeing that Yahweh God and His WORD, born to be Jesus Christ has no limits or boundaries known unto man, then it is quite possible for elemental substance to have two distinct natures of the spiritual and the physical at the same instant of time. The simplicity of this was noted in our previous illustration of light energy measured in the photon. Armed with this perception on light energy, the people of the Eternal Yahweh God may be confident in our perception of the One True Yahweh God, being multidimensional beyond our understanding, and yet One at the same time.
For Christ Jesus is the Image of the invisible Yahweh God. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of Whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things, and we by Him. (See Colossians 1 verse 15, 1st Corinthians 8 verse 6.)
Note also, that the Ecclesia, that we call churches, have the spiritual conception of the unseen soul of the destitute man, being born again by unseen Yahweh God's unseen Holy Spirit. The Word of the Eternal Father Yahweh God, should be elemental in the unseen principle of Faith that bring us to Almighty Yahweh God. But what is it?
Obviously, in our physical environment, there are so many things we do not see, and yet, because of the communications of man's science, we have the beginnings of a faith in the existence of the unseen realms about us. In most cases, we are just beginning to comprehend aspects of the unseen universe, as we marvel at what man's science has shown us through man's inventions of the light microscope and telescopes. That which is small and could not be seen, has been given new dimensions, and that which is far away, has been seen with a much grander perspective.
The crux of the matter is that our natural sensual perceptions may deceive us concerning the whole story of the dimensions of natural light, and ultimately that Spiritual or unseen Light, which is founded in Faith in the Power of the WORD of Yahweh God, Jesus Christ, the Master of Yahweh God's Creation. We are like the Lord's disciple, Thomas: If we do not see with our own eyes, and touch with our own hands, then our tendency is not to believe. And yet, the abiding Presence of the Comforter and Teacher has given to us the spiritual evidence of Yahweh God's Mercy and Love that Graces each of His believers, so that faithful hearts would have inspired faith in the unfailing WORD of Yahweh God. If the Gift of the unseen Presence of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace and TRUTH is given to us finite beings of new born faith, then what part of our being does His Holy Spirit reside within us? In the unknowable dimensions of Yahweh God, there are so many mysteries that we can not fully understand, but they are accepted as a relative part of our faith through the Spirit of Yahweh God's WORD of Salvation that gives sight to the blind of unbelief. The quantum calculations of the physicist, beginning with a point of zero and ending in infinity, declares that something can not come from nothing. Even so, Yahweh God's Infinite power is displayed in a universe that could not exist without the Eternal Yahweh God.
So many Christians, under rote teachings of their indoctrinated church, may say that all things are possible for us through the Infinite Power of God Almighty Who Loves us. But Hypocrisy has laid its foundation in the dead flesh of man.
So then where is the faith that speaks of the dimensional possibilities of the Communion bread and wine that is Sanctified through the Infinite's Spirit of Grace? And what does your faith say of the unseen dynamics of the same infallible WORD of Yahweh God that ministers through His Holy Spirit of Grace? Does not the Holy Spirit of Yahweh God initiate the Sanctification of the flesh of repentant souls, and thereby reveals to the observant non believer, of the change of heart and produces the body of evidence that shows the abundance of Love and Mercy within the Heart of Yahweh God Who willingly desires to pardon all that come to Him? Is not the Blood of Jesus Christ, and the WORD of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit One witness of Yahweh God's absolute TRUTH, and thereby establishing the measure of the Infinite Yahweh God's Love for sinful man kind? Spiritual man or woman redeemed of Yahweh God; what is it that you see in the reflection of Yahweh God's WORD? For the WORD of Yahweh God reads:
Thou shall Love/Agapeo the Lord thy God with all thy heart, soul, mind and strength; and then thou shall Love thy fellow man as thy self.
This is the TRUTH of the Eternal Yahweh God! Therefore, the servants in the house of Yahweh God, certainly have great need for the mitigating Blood of Yahweh God's New Covenant, given to us, by Yahweh God's Spirit of Grace for the remission of acknowledged sinfulness with the perfection of the saved, who are abiding IN God's Salvation WORD, Jesus Christ.

Knowledge puffs up the Mind of Flesh.
Scientific knowledge of the world and the cosmos has seemingly exploded upon our present day scene. This acquired knowledge may expand the natural mind of a man, but it does not expand the narrow and darkened heart of the man who will perish in spite of his acquired knowledge of the natural. Do you think that Yahweh God, the Infinite Creator of this Universe, and all things visible and invisible, is impressed with our finite earthly knowledge of His Creation? All knowledge that is cultured with the pride of human logic, sooner than later, contradicts the Infinite Yahweh God, and questions the Creator's Own understanding of His Own Beloved WORD of Absolute TRUTH that holds all things together. This questioning of the all wise Yahweh God originated in the Garden of Eden from its source of Satan, and continues to echo from hell, whose proximity is just around the corner.
"Did the Lord God really say, and mean what He said? Nah: Choose for yourself."
Yahweh God is not a contradiction to Himself, and neither is the revealed WORD of Yahweh God a contradiction to the unsearchable knowledge, power and the glory, ascribed to the Creator through His TRUTH expressed in the heavens and written in Scripture. The wisdom of this world perishes, but the Wisdom of Yahweh God is Eternal. After all, if you have ears to hear, the heaven's are declaring Yahweh God's WORD of Glory and Power: (See Psalm 19 verse 1 thru 4.) For it is by the constancy of Yahweh God's WORD that all things exist, and are held together in obedience to His WORD of Power and Wisdom. The TRUTH of Eternal WORD remains Constant because He is Constant with an unchangeableness in the Essence of His Eternal Holiness. Yahweh God cannot but remain Faithful to His divine WORD and purpose in His creation, for Yahweh God and His WORD Yeshua/Jesus are One.
Alas, it is unfaithful man, mired in the center of self that innately forms within his own willful mind, objections and contradictions to Yahweh God and to His WORD. Man's own self serving iniquity has blinded his mind, causing Man kind's own idolatrous failures. But the Grace of Yahweh God's Spirit calls the lost soul to begin to comprehend within his darkened heart, of his eternal need for Yahweh God's Work of Salvation through the crucifixion death and resurrection of the Son of Adam/Man, Yahweh God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
The crucified Christ is foolishness in the wisdom of man, but Yahweh God's Wisdom is a work of Divine Agapao/Love and Mercy so that if any person would hear Yahweh God's call to His Sacrificial Offering of His Grace in Yeshua haMashiach, then that Divine Grace would bring that person into an intimacy with the Eternal Yahweh God through His Son Jesus Christ.
Do you not know that Jesus Christ has conquered mankind's sin and death? (See 1st Corinthians 1 verse 17 thru 25.)
Thus says the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glories,, glory in this; that he understands and knows Me, that I AM the Lord Who exercises loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: For in these things I delight, says (Yahweh) the Lord. (See Jeremiah 9 verse 23 thru 25.)
If man does not answer Wisdom's Call to Yahweh God's Word of Repentance and Salvation, then at the end, man will inevitably find himself to be the enigma, in final opposition to himself, through his rebellious opposition to the only Yahweh God of the Living. The wisdom of the wisest of men does not make one indispensable to the all wise Yahweh God. Yahweh God is Gracious, but I wonder what became of the man Solomon, a son of David, who perhaps saw himself in his own wisdom, indispensable to Yahweh God?
Because the foolishness of Yahweh God is wiser than men; and the weakness of Yahweh God is stronger than men. For you see your calling brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called: But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and Yahweh God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has Yahweh God chosen; yes, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are, so that no flesh should glory in His Presence. (1st Corinthians 1 verse 25 thru 29.)
Within the cultural religions of Christianity, the institutional leaders are each right in their own eyes. It is man's assessed correctness, confined to his own myopic vision and finite knowledge that creates contradictions in opposition to Yahweh God's Eternal Covenant that brings freedom from sin's bondage of death. Within our minds of flesh, it is good to have an ongoing working knowledge of what is written in scripture: Nevertheless, it is far better in simple application, to have a heart that is one with the Spirit of Yahweh God, for He brings enrichment to the soul that would rest in the Love of Yahweh God that surpasses our understanding.
Knowledge makes one proud, but sacrificial Love builds one up. If any man think that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he aught to know: For if any man Loves Yahweh God, the same is known of Him. (1st Corinthians 8 verse 1 thru 3.) He is the Source of your LIFE IN Christ Jesus, Whom Yahweh God made our Wisdom, our Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption: Therefore, as it is written, "Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord". (1st Corinthians 1 verse 30 thru 31.)
Paul, in his epistle, is referring to the same Scripture from Jeremiah that we have already seen above:
Let him that glories, glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I AM the LORD, which exercise Loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth: For in these things I delight; declares the Yahweh LORD. (Jeremiah 9 verse 24.)
The scholars, pastors, evangelist and teachers of scripture, having a knowledge of the history and the languages of the bible, have, by whatever gifted means, assisted each and everyone of us in attaining knowledge of the events and instructions of scripture, all of which tends to establish faith. But, even in our hearing of the instructions and being immersed in the written Word; Yahweh God is the only One Who can create a new LIFE IN Christ Jesus, and expand the humble heart that is yielded in Yahweh God's New Blood Covenant within Christ Jesus. Paul writing to the Corinthian says:
I have planted, Apollos watered; but (Yahweh) God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planted any thing, neither he that waters; but (Yahweh) God, Who gives the increase. (1st Corinthian 3 verse 6 thru 7.)
Yahweh God, in all instances of Salvation, provides the Good Seed, which is His WORD and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Through Yahweh God's reproductive design, His Covenant WORD, Yeshua haMashiach, is seeded in the soul and mind of repentant man, and is to reproduce the likes of Paul the planter, and Apollos the one who waters, and you and me who are all to have both the Likeness of the Image of the Love of Yahweh God, IN Jesus Christ.
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is Perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. (1st Corinthians 13 verse 9 thru 10.)
Wisdom would say, if we would be perfect then the Love/Agapao of the Perfect Son of God would be abiding and ruling IN our hearts, for:
God's Perfect Love (Agapao ) suffers long, and is kind; Love envies not; Love vaunts not itself, Love (Agape) is not puffed up, Agapao does not behave itself unseemly, Love seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, Agapao thinks no evil; Rejoices not in iniquity, but love (agape) rejoices in the Truth; Love (agape) bears all things, Love believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Agape never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. And now abides faith, hope, Love (Agape), these three; but the greatest of these is Agape/Love. (1st Corinthians 13 verse 4 thru 8 and verse 13.)
Owe nothing to anyone except to Love/Agapao one another; for he who Loves/Agapao his neighbor has fulfilled the (requirements of the) law. (Romans 13 verse 8.) NASB.
Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore Love/Agapao is the fulfillment (the requirements) of the law. (Romans 13 verse 10.) NASB.
For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love/agapao your neighbor as yourself.” (Galatians 5 verse 14,) NASB.
If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall Love/Agapao your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. (James 2 verse 8.) NASB.
The Lord Jesus Christ, declares the TRUTH to those who have ears to hear;
I AM WAY, the only TRUTH and the only LIFE of men, No man come to the Father except by Me. "I AM the Vine, and without Me you can do nothing." (See John 15 verse 1 thru 5.)
Jesus states a very logical premise: Without the Vine, there is no production of fruit. If Yahweh God is Love then He is Perfect Love, and without His Love/Agapao working within the hearts of men, then it must be that the mind of man is severed from the Vine and the Production of Yahweh God's Perfect Love is impossible. Without the flow of Yahweh's Holy Spirit IN the TRUTH of His Only Begotten Son, even with the hard work and seemingly good intentions of our human instructors of the scriptures, then essentials can be misconstrued in the communication and interpretation of words, and human error is reinforced with a dogmatic position of more error.
Knowledge puffs up, but agape love edifies. If any man thinks that he knows any thing, he knows nothing yet, as he ought to know. However, if any man Agape Loves God, the same is known of Him. (1st Corinthians 8 verse 1 thru 3.) And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not Agape Love, I am nothing. (1st Corinthians 13 verse 2.)
The dynamics of one word of one language of the bible, can be lost in the translation into another, and the natural man in us can pass over one vital point, and miss the essential heart of the matter that should make us all one within our faith in the one Christ Jesus.
For There is one Body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, One God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4 verse 4 thru 6.)
The TRUTH of Yahweh Lord God Almighty is established mathematically as One God and Father of all.
However, in our confusion of our own individual fleshly thoughts of Who is God, and what is right and wrong, I'm afraid that in our divisiveness, we have substituted our own doctrines, and dispensed with the Lord's Sanctifying Words of His New Covenant instructions, leading up to, and during Jesus Christ's last supper with His disciples. As the WORD of Yahweh God implies: The cultural traditions, and the understanding of man, can make the Word of God non effectual within the heart of man. (See Mark 7 verse 13.) In the following verse, Paul is dealing sharply with the permissive licentiousness within the Corinthian church and their not understanding the Power of the Love of Yahweh God in the Perfect LIFE of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, Whose Shed Blood separates man from their sin and death.
Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, for you are to be unleavened. For even Christ our Passover, is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the Feast (of unleavened bread), not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the Unleavened Bread of sincerity, and TRUTH. (1st Corinthians 5 verse 6 thru 8.)
The Unleavened Bread of our Communion within our Lord Jesus Christ, is Yahweh God's True Bread of Heaven, and when it is coupled with our repentance from sin, then the BREAD of HEAVEN is our assurance of Yahweh God's cleansing Mercy and Grace through the Yahweh's New Covenant IN the Blood of Jesus Christ, so that our souls remain in Yahweh God's Kingdom of Peace.
Is it not time to put away the prideful intellectual leaven of the flesh that puffs up, divides and separates the bread, for Jesus Christ our Passover, is sacrificed for us sinners? Shall we continue in sin that so easily entraps us in death? Yahweh God forbid: For now in the fullness of Yahweh God's Covenant of Grace in the Blood of Jesus Christ, we are to be abiding as One IN Christ Jesus, in the fullness of His holiness.
To proceed to the next chapter alone, please click on My Doctrine is not mine
Jesus says:
My
Doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me.
(See
John 7 verse 16 thru 18.)
First we should search out and hear the whole of the Matter, and then consider Yahweh God Almighty's Eternal Words of Infinite Power and TRUTH to Judge Righteously, as revealed by Moses and later reiterated by the Apostle Peter:
Yahweh thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me (Moses); unto Him you shall hearken; And the Lord [Yahweh God] Said unto me: They have well spoken: I will raise them up a Prophet from among the brethren, like into thee, and I will put My Words in His Mouth, and He shall Speak unto them 'all' that I shall Command Him. And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto My Words which He shall Speak in My Name (Yahweh), I will require it of him. (See Deuteronomy 18 verse 15 thru 19.) The requirement is execution as in death to the one who will not hear.
Again, at Pentecost, during the birth of the Ecclesia of Christ, the Apostle Peter boldly witnesses of Yahweh God's Promised One, Whom Moses declared would come in the likeness of his physical flesh. Peter reiterates the same all encompassing passage found in Deuteronomy 18:
For Moses truly said unto the fathers: A Prophet, shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me (Moses); Him shall you hear 'in all things', whatsoever He shall Say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul, which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. (Acts 3 verse 22 thru 23.)
Please take special note that Peter cries out to the gathered throng, declaring that every soul is to hear in all - things whatsoever He (The WORD of Yahweh God) shall Say unto you? Do you not see the emphasis on "hear all things", for whatever Yahweh God's Prophet speaks, He speaks in the Name of the Almighty Yahweh God. The Almighty has given to His only begotten Son, Jesus/Yeshua His very own Personal Instructions for humanity's salvation and sanctification that is expressed in His WORD.
For Yahweh God has given Him (Jesus the Christ) Authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man/Adam. (John 5 verse 27.)
How foolish it would be for one to hear the Word of Yahweh God revealed by The Almighty's Spirit of TRUTH, and then not believe the Words of that Prophet Jesus Christ, the Last Adam, for He is none other than the Incarnate Son and the Very WORD of Yahweh God Almighty.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Yahweh God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with Yahweh God.
John the Baptist testifies that Yahweh God sent His Holy One from heaven to be born of Adam's flesh and to proclaim the WORD of Yahweh God's Salvation.
For He [Jesus/Yeshua] Whom Yahweh God has sent, speaks the Words of God: For God gives not His Spirit by measure unto Him. (See John 3 verse 31 thru 36.) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His Glory, as of the only Begotten of the Father) full of Grace and full of TRUTH. (See John 1 verse 14 thru 15.)
And Jesus, the Personal Word and the Christ of Almighty God declares:
Even as the Father (Yahweh
God) Said unto Me, so I speak.
(See
John 12 verse 50.)
Yahweh God Who at sundry times and in various manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, Whom He (Yahweh God) has appointed Heir of all things, by Whom also He made the worlds. (See Hebrews 1 verse 1 thru 2 and verse 10.) And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto My Words which He shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him.
The Lord Jesus Christ, being the WORD of Yahweh God's Infinite TRUTH, created all things of the universe and the world, within the fabric of time. When His Father Yahweh God Almighty sent His WORD to the earth, Jesus Christ created a fire storm among the religious of His day, and the fire continues to rage into this present time.
I AM that Bread of Life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the Bread which comes down from heaven (from the Father) that a man may eat there of, and not die. I AM the Living Bread, Which came down from heaven: if any man eats of this Bread, he shall live forever: and the Bread that I will give is My Flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us His flesh to eat? Then Jesus Said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink of His Blood, you have no Life in you. Whoso eats My Flesh, and drinks My Blood, has Eternal Life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My Flesh is Food indeed, and My Blood is Drink indeed. He that eats of My Flesh, and drinks of My Blood, dwells IN Me, and I IN him. (John 6 verse 48 thru 51.)
Upon hearing the WORDS of Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of Adam, many of the Lord's followers murmured among themselves, not discerning the significance of the absolute TRUTH, for Yeshua, the Christ of Yahweh God, spoke the WORDS of His Father Yahweh God Almighty. Then Jesus, the True Bread of Heaven Said to the unbelieving:
Does this offend you? What, and if you shall see the Son of Man/Adam ascend up where He was before? It is the Spirit that quickens (makes alive); your flesh profits nothing: The Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are LIFE.
It is Holy Yahweh God's Spirit that gives LIFE, and without Yahweh's Holy Spirit, we are all dead. Now then, even as Jesus the Christ of Yahweh God asked the Jews that were present, then He might also ask you the same pointed question concerning His WORD: Are you offended? Obviously the answer to questioning faith is contingent to one's faith.
Where did the True Bread of Heaven come from in the first place? Do you believe that the Eternal WORD of Yahweh God came down from heaven to become the flesh of the Son of Adam through the Shekinah Glory of Holy Yahweh God's Spirit of Life? Do you believe that the Glorious Spirit of Yahweh God encompassed the Hebrew virgin Mary, and brought forth the virgin conception of the Last Adam Who would be born the Son of Man? Now then, do you in True Faith and humility eat of the True Unleavened Bread of Heaven and drink of Christ's LIFE Giving Blood that Yahweh God's unseen Holy Spirit of Grace provides to believers in Holy Communion?
Even as this specific WORD of the Lord Jesus Christ was an offense to the darkened minds of those who initially followed the Lord, so it remains today a stumbling block, to those teachers, who are wise in their own eyes, but not spiritually discerning of the absolute, "Amen", of the WORDS of the Eternal Power that created the substance of the universe. The brightness of the mind of many religious philosopher, has been darkened spiritually, by their unbelief in the constancy of the WORD of the Lord Jesus Christ: For His WORD is that of the Almighty Yahweh God, and His WORD upholds all things in the universe, and all things consist of His WORD, and are obedient to Yahweh God's WORD of Power. (See Colossians 1 verse 16 thru 18.)
If the matrix of the grey matter of the brain of the teacher is darkened, because of ingrained philosophical religious confusion, then their teachings have become, not only an offense of stumbling to themselves, but also to those that they lead in the pride of their own light. But Jesus, the Light of the World says of the confusion:
If the light that is in thee be darkness, then how gross is that darkness? (See Matthew 6 verse 22 thru 23.)
The sin of unbelief always covers itself in the darkness of the individualist mind that remains fixated in self centered idolatry. The awareness of SELF is never totality obliterated, but in any event, the matter of 'self will' should be in subjection to the Good Will of Holy Yahweh God Almighty.
Jesus Christ is the only WAY of Escape from Sin's Corruption.
You are sadly mistaken if you think that Yahweh God has any number of ways for you to escape from sin and death. Sin has its beginning in the Man Adam and the death that he spawned in mankind, has its ending in the Son of Adam, the Man Jesus/Yeshua haMashiach. If you by pass the only WAY that is Jesus Christ, then you have no way that will save you from sin's death. I AM the WAY, I AM the TRUTH, and I AM the LIFE of mankind. No one comes to Father Yahweh God except by ME. The sinless LIFE of Christ Jesus is the Only WAY that over comes your death. Truly, Truly I say unto you. He that enters not by the Door into the sheepfold, but by some other way, that man is a thief and a robber. (See John 10 verse 1 thru 5.)
Let us open the eyes of our heart a little wider, and see a number of times in John's Gospel that Jesus Christ, the WORD of Yahweh God, makes it crystal clear that the WORDS He speaks, are His Father's very own Personal WORD of TRUTH. Quite naturally through His Divine heritage, Jesus Christ is the Personal WORD of His Father, Yahweh God Almighty. Yahweh God's Spirit is One with the WORD that Jesus speaks, and Yeshua is absolutely only THE WAY that is One with His Father's Heart and Doctrine of the LIFE within the Eternal TRUTH of Yahweh's Only Begotten sinless Son.
The first occasion of confirmation that Jesus is the WORD of His Father Yahweh God, takes place at the Feast of Tabernacles, when Jesus answered them and Said, "My Doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me. If any man will do His Will he shall know of the Doctrine, whether the Doctrine be of Yahweh God, or if I speak of Myself." (See in full context John 7 verse 14 thru 18.) Then [again] cried Jesus in the temple as He taught, saying, You both know Me, and you know whence I AM: and I AM not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is True, Whom you know not. But I know Him: For I AM from Him, and He has sent Me. (See John 7 verse 28 thru 29.) Do you know the Father's Doctrine of TRUTH, for it is the Embodiment of TRUTH alone Who sets a man free from sin and death? You shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free. Truly, Truly I Say unto you: Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin, and the servant of sin does not abide in the house (of Yahweh God) forever, but the Son of [Yahweh God] abides [IN His House] forever. Therefore, if the Son [of Yahweh God] shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
The second occasion of offense to the Jews, happened a day after that same Feast of Tabernacles. At this time, the Pharisees are questioning the validity of the Word of Jesus Christ. Then Jesus Said unto them: When you have lifted up the Son of Man/Adam, then shall you know that I AM He (the Christ of Yahweh God) and that I do nothing of Myself: But as My Father (Yahweh God) has taught Me, I speak these things. (See John 8 verse 25-30.) For thus says the Almighty: So shall My WORD be that goes forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. (In full context Isaiah 55 verse 6 thru 11.) Perhaps you might rightly ask: Is Jesus Christ that very same Word of Yahweh God that has gone out of the Mouth of Yahweh and prospers in that which His Father has sent Him to do? Yahweh God did not send His Word into the world to condemn the world, but through the Perfect Love of God, being in the form of the flesh and blood of Man, Yahweh God might save the World through the Incarnate Love of His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. (See John 3 verse 16.) I speak that which I have seen with My Father: And you do that which you have seen with your father. They answered and said unto Him; Abraham is our father. Jesus Said unto them: If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man that has told you the TRUTH, which I have heard of (Yahweh) God. This did not Abraham. You do the deeds of your father. (See John 8 verse 38 thru 47.) You are of your father the devil.
The third occasion of offense to the Jews, happened just before the next Passover Feast: It is here that the Lord Jesus testifies: "For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father Who sent Me, He gave Me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that His Commandment is Life Everlasting: Whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father Said unto Me, so I speak". (The full context John 12 verse 44 thru 50.) In Verse 48 Jesus says; He that rejects Me, and receives not My Words, has One that will judge him: The Word that I have spoken, the Same shall judge him in the last day. The reader should again consider the fearful Word of God Almighty in Deuteronomy 18 verse 15 thru 19.) I will raise up a Prophet, like Moses ,and I will put MY WORDS IN His Mouth, and He shall Speak all NY WORDS that I Command Him. And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall not hearken unto MY WORDS which HE shall speak IN My Name, I will require it of him.
The fourth occasion is witnessed at the Lord Jesus' last Pascal Supper: Do you not believe that I AM IN the Father, and the Father IN Me? The Words that I speak unto you, I speak not of Myself, but the Father that dwells IN Me, He does the works. (John 14 verse 10.) The miracles of God Almighty IN Christ Jesus were witnessed by the Jews in the natural, but the unseen Word of Yahweh God, given as the TRUTH IN Christ Jesus, could not be comprehended in the darkness of their natural minds. The following are the Words of Christ that they could not apprehend. I AM the Bread of LIFE, He that comes to Me shall never hunger, and he that comes to Me shall never thirst. He that eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood Lives IN Me and I IN him.
The fifth occasion is linked to the fourth occasion: For the Word of Yahweh God is received in the ears of His disciples during the evening time of the final Passover while the disciples were eating of the flesh of the Passover lamb. This is Yahweh God's line of demarcation of the old covenant in animal Passover blood to His New Covenant in LIVE giving Blood of Yahweh God's Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ the Son of Adam. For while they were eating the animal flesh of the lamb, Jesus took the unleavened bread, and blessed it and broke it, and gave to His disciples, and Said: Take and Eat for this IS My Body given for you. The fullness of blessed meal in Unleavened Bread and Wine, will later be called by men, the Lord's Last Supper. However, it is not the last meal for the disciples of Christ Jesus, but it is to be the beginning of the New Covenant of God confirmed IN the Blood of His Son Christ Jesus. The Faith of Yahweh God, moves the unseen LIFE of the Spirit of Yahweh God to nourishes those who hunger and thirst after the Righteousness of Christ Jesus. For those that hear and believe IN Jesus Christ, are they that are birthed into the Promise of the Word of TRUTH and LIFE of the Eternal Yahweh God Almighty. TRUTH stands at the forefront of God's WORD of Salvation. Jesus answered and Said unto him (Judas, not Iscariot): "If a man love Me, he will keep My Words, and My Father will Love him, and We will come unto him and make Our Abode with him. He that loves Me 'not', keeps 'not' My sayings: and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's Who sent Me." (John 14 verse 23 thru 24,)
The Lord Jesus' last testimony to His Father Yahweh's Doctrine is during the latter part of the Paschal Supper as witnessed in John's Gospel. During the Lord Jesus' High Priestly prayer to His Holy Father Yahweh God, we hear: "Now they know that everything You have given Me, comes from You. For I have given unto them the Words which Thou gave Me, and they have received them, and know surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou did send Me". (John 17 verse 7 thru 8,). The Lord's Words at His own Passover Table with Unleavened Bread, are like all of His Instructions, for they are the Words of His Father Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh Adonay God Almighty. The Eternal God of Covenant does not change His Word of TRUTH set before the foundation of the world, for the Word of Yahweh God is Constant: Take and drink all of you: For this is My Blood of the New Covenant that is poured out for many for the remission of sin. But I say unto you that henceforth I will not drink of this fruit of the Vine until that day when I drink of this fruit with you in My Father's Kingdom. (See Matthew 26 verse 27 thru 29.)
When you click on fruit of the Vine then you will see that the fruit in actuality is the offspring from Christ's Salvation. Christ is the True Vine in John 15 and His Fruit is the children who abide as branches in the Vine, and as Branches of the Vine they bring forth more good Fruit in the Word of Christ Jesus.
The WORD of Yahweh God stands forever, for the WORD of Yahweh God is from Eternity, where there is no variance with the Eternal Yahweh God of Holiness. Consider the TRUTH of Yahweh God that is Eternal: For Yahweh God so loved the world that He offered up His Only Begotten Son as a Sacrifice, to pay for the sin of Adam and thus the sin's of the world. The Eternal Yahweh God, set IN time, even before the foundation of the world, His Salvation Lamb, Yeshua haMashiach, Who, with His death and resurrection to LIFE, mediates the sins of the world. Of what value will man put on the Holy Word of Yahweh God Who can not lie? Or of what value does a man, who can not but lie, put on his life? If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, (then) how great is that darkness! (Matthew 6 verse 23.) How utterly unfortunate that man, by his own dark self cultivated wisdom, negates the TRUTH of the New Covenant Mercy IN the Eternal Word of Yahweh God. If you say that you have no sin you make Yahweh God a liar. and for sure the TRUTH is not in you. (See 1st John 1 verse 7 thru 10.)
Our own unbelief speak to us by revealing our dark wisdom with our faithless actions of this dying nature. It is difficult for man to believe in the substance of faith if they can not see the substance that is TRUTH. If the TRUTH was standing before you and spoke of a substance of faith that you cannot see, would you believe in what you heard?
If I had not come and Spoken to them, they had not sinned, but now they have no cloak for their sin.
These condemning Words of Jesus the Messiah, relates back to the unbelieving Jews. We can make the case beginning at the time given in the Gospel of John chapter 6. We witness that the Lord had crossed over the sea of Galilee, and because of the healing miracles that the Lord Jesus had previously performed, a great multitude followed after Him. Interestingly, it was at the time of the Passover when the Jews would assemble for the feast. At this time, Jesus/Yeshua performed wonders in the feeding the multitude of more that 5000 men, and also all the woman and children that were present with them. After the feeding of the multitude of people, the Lord went up into a mountain to hide Himself from the press of the people. His disciples, probably knowing of the next destination before hand, got into a boat in the evening, and headed to Capernaum. In the darkness, they would unknowingly encounter their Lord in the midst of a great wind, and walking on the turbulent sea. They were afraid, but the Lord Said: It is I: Do not be afraid. With relief, they received the Lord Jesus into the boat, and immediately thereafter they were at their destination of Capernaum.
In the following light of the new day, the people that were left on the other side of the sea, discovered that Jesus/Yeshua and His disciple were no where to be found. They entered boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. They found Him there, and asked Him how He got to Capernaum. The Lord Jesus knowing the TRUTH, Said to them:
Truly, Truly I Say unto you: You do not seek Me because of the miracles you saw, but because of the loaves of bread that you ate. Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to everlasting LIFE, which the Son of Adam/Man shall give you, for Him, Father God has sealed.
The Word of Jesus is sealed as the TRUTH IN the WORD of Yahweh God; for the deceivers wanted to know how they could produce food to feed their bellies and receive monetary reward for their merchandise. For they said:
What shall we do, so that we can work (trade for) the works (business) of God? The TRUTH answered them: This is the Work (Business) of (Yahweh) God, that you believe IN Him Yeshua, Whom Yahweh Father God has sent! (See John 6 verse 26 thru 30.)
The long awaited Messiah of Yahweh God, Yeshua haMashiach Spoke TRUTH to the Jews:
I AM the Bread of LIFE. Whosoever Eats of My Flesh and Drinks of My Blood has Eternal LIFE, and I Will raise him up at the last day.
The unbelief within many of the Jews of that day, would leave them in their sin of unbelief, and without a cloak or covering for their un-confessed sin that is chained to death. All those who deny Christ Jesus by their words or actions concerning the TRUTH and the WAY of Jesus Christ, will die because of their sins, and will never know the LIFE of Christ.
In our earthly wisdom, we can foolishly play with Yahweh God's Eternal WORD of Power; and to our own peril, we negate within our own minds and others, the Wisdom that is IN the Divine WORD of Eternal Father Yahweh God Almighty.
When it comes to Communion with Holy Father Yahweh God, we may all be familiar with the confirmation of the WORD of Yahweh God seen in the Synoptic Gospels: Even so, the TRUTH of Yahweh God is trampled under the foot of unbelieving mankind. The three Synoptic Gospels establish Yahweh God's New Covenant IN the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ, but our own self made truth makes the TRUTH of Yahweh God a stumbling block, that trips us to the earthen ground. To Know the TRUTH of the Word of God, please click on the Synoptic Covenant.
Some souls trying to mark themselves as being clever in the midst of men, may repeat man's homespun adage: "The devil is in the details". Satan perpetuates rebellion against Yahweh God, however all of the details are fixated in the depths of sin and sin ends in death, even for the devil Satan.
In the 1st verse of the 13th chapter of the Gospel of John note that the Passover hour is fast approaching, and before the ritual meal would begin, the spotless Lord Jesus Christ already knew that the time of His demise was fast approaching Him. Unfortunately, the rendering of scripture in the KJ Version of the 13th Chapter of John second verse is a bogus interpretation of the Word of God as rendered in the following partial English script: And supper being ended. The English words 'being ended' is a dead wrong interpretation of the Word of Yahweh God. Let's see the context written if the Greek Scripture. The Strong's Concordant G1096 , is in actuality the WORD of Yahweh God revealing the beginning commencement of the evening Feast of the Passover. Therefore, the rendering should read: When the Feast had begun. Now, if that is understood, then all that would follow in our reading of John's Gospel Scriptures is in context with the final Passover Meal that the Lord Jesus would inaugurate as His Father's New Covenant IN Christ's Blood.
From the 13th chapter through the 17th Chapter of the Gospel of John, the Lord Jesus/Yeshua is conveying the TRUTH of His Father's New Covenant of LIFE IN the Communion LIFE IN the Body and Blood of His Son. This is the Work (Business) of Yahweh God, that you believe IN Him, (Jesus) Whom Father Yahweh God has sent! (John 6 verse 29.) For thus says the Almighty: So shall My WORD be that goes forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. (In full context Isaiah 55 verse 6 thru 11.) You might ask: Is Jesus Christ that Very Same WORD of Yahweh God that has gone out of the Mouth of Yahweh God and that Yahweh's WORD will prospers in that which His Father has sent Him to do? The answer is an unequivocal Yes.
The Perfection of Eternal Yahweh God Commands Perfection from His very Own WORD that proceeds from His Mouth, and the Perfection of His WORD conceived in the flesh and blood of the Son of Adam/Man, will save those of the World that believe in the Sacrificial Love of Yahweh God's only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. (See John 3 verse 16.)
Now we will continue to extend our exploration of the Word of Father Yahweh God Almighty, for His Doctrine is the TRUTH as seen IN the Actions and Spoken WORD of Yahweh God's Only Begotten Son, Who was Named Yeshua, meaning Salvation. We are familiar with the English Name of 'Jesus' as the Son of God, but His True Name IN Hebrew is 'Yeshua', which has a Personal and more Intimate meaning of 'Savior'. The literal Name of Yeshua is intimately tied to His Father's Name Yahweh with the unpronounceable consonants of the Tetragram 'YHWH'. The consonants 'YHWH' would be interspersed with the vowels of 'Adonay', whereby we derive Yahweh God's pronounceable Name of 'Yahweh'. This Holy Name of the Only Almighty Yahweh God was rarely spoken, but His revealed Name of Yahweh has the meaning attributed to the Great I AM's 'Presence' and His Holy Presence is totally encompassed within the Eternality of the 'I AM that I AM'.
Of course the Lord Jesus, our Salvation, would know today of the English scripted Name of Jesus that we call Him, and now as a means of revealing His Salvation by Faith then He may answer accordingly. But when we pray in the Name of Jesus, we are somewhat callous in our understanding of His Name, for generally, He is likened to a genie who is to respond to what our selfish desires expect Him to satisfy. In the Spiritual Reality of the TRUTH of Yahweh God, Messiah's given Name is Yeshua, having the meaning of Salvation.
And she shall bring forth a son; and you shall call His Name Yeshua; for He shall save His people from their sins. (See Matthew 1 verse 20 thru 21.)
The Name of Yahweh God is Holy and the Name of HIS Son Yeshua is Holy and the Name of Yeshua incorporates the Name of His Father IN the New Covenant To Be for the divine purpose of Saving and Sanctifying His People with the purifying Grace of Yeshua's Blood. By our Faith IN the New Covenant WORD of Almighty Yahweh God, then we would be Communing with the Almighty at the LORD'S Table of Grace where we would eat of the Bread of LIFE IN Remembrance of Yeshua's innocent crucifixion death for our sins, and then drink of His LIFE giving Blood that celebrates Yeshua haMashiach's victorious Bodily Resurrection into the LIFE of His Father Yahweh God.
Let us witness together the beginning and ending of the Lord Jesus' Feast of Unleavened Bread with His 12 disciples.
With Desire Have I Desired to Eat This Passover with You before I Suffer.
For I Say unto you, I will not eat any more until the [New Covenant Passover] be fulfilled in the Kingdom of Yahweh God.
Luke 13:20 Verily, Verily, I say unto you: He that receives whomsoever I send, receives Me, and he that receives Me, receives Him that sent Me.
Luke 13:21 When Jesus had said this, He was troubled in His Spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray Me.”
22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke. 23 One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ breast. 24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him [John}, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He speaks.”
25 He [John], leaning back, as he was on Jesus’ breast, asked Him, “Lord, who is it?”
26 Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when He had dipped the piece of bread, He gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him [Judas].
Then Jesus said to him [Judas], “What you do, do quickly.”
In the midst of the Passover meal, the Lord Yeshua dipped unleavened bread into the morar and gave the sop to the traitor Judas.
28 Now nobody at the table knew why He [Jesus] said this to him [Judas]. 29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus spoke to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that "he should give something to the poor". 30 Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
31 When he [Judas] had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and [Yahweh] God has been Glorified in Him. 32 If [Yahweh] God has been glorified in Him, [Yahweh] God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him immediately.
With Judas having been exposed by the Lord at the Passover Table, then at the Word of the Lord, Judas immediately left the dinner of that High Sabbath night to conduct his own unsavory business of the betrayal of his Master.
Then the Lord Jesus/Yeshua Proclaimed before His disciples:
Now is the Son of Adam (Man) glorified and (Yahweh) God is glorified IN Him. Judas' betrayal of Yeshua would bring too a climax, that which was prophesied as Salvation through out Scripture. But who will believe Our Doctrine, and to whom is the Arm of the Lord revealed? For He (Yeshua) was cut off from the land of the living, for the transgression of My people was He stricken. My Righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities. (See Isaiah 53.)
And in their unbelief, the leaders of Israel set a price upon the Lord,
for they weighed out His price of 30 pieces of silver. (See Zechariah 11 verse 12 thru 13.)
While the immediate disciple's of Christ Jesus were attending the evening Feast of Unleavened Bread, they were having trouble fully discerning the Words of the Messiah. Simon Peter upon hearing the Words of Christ with some understanding, nevertheless asks the Lord Jesus where He is going. Jesus/Yeshua tells him that where He is going Peter can not come, but Peter will follow Him later. Peter wants to know why he cannot follow the Lord now, and then declares: "I will lay down my life for your sake". The Lord Yeshua/Jesus reveals the Truth of Peter's short comings: "Will you lay down your life for My Sake. Truly, Truly I Say to you: The cock shall not crow until you have denied Me 3 times." And so it came to pass in that day of Peter's denial.
At this point in the course of time, Jesus/Yeshua will tell His disciples that which He had previously told the Jews: Where I go you cannot come. Jesus then Instructs His disciples to love one another, even as He has loved them. Their love for one another, even as the Lord Yeshua commanded them, would confirm before the world that they are disciples of the Lord Yeshua/Jesus. From this point forward, the cascade of events will escalate into the Sacrificial Crucifixion Death of the innocent Jesus/Yeshua, and Thanks be to Yahweh God, the climax of Yahweh's Eternal Plan for the Redemption of Man will come to an end with the Glorious Saving Resurrection to LIFE IN the Messiah Yashua.
Then the Lord Yeshua declares Yahweh God's Definitive TRUTH to the questioning Thomas. Thomas a man of the earth, does not know the WAY of Christ, for then the Lord declares the TRUTH: I AM the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: No man comes to the Father except by Me. If you had known Me, you should have known My Father. Hence forth you know Him, for you have seen Him. In seeing Jesus, Thomas in fact, would be holding the Likeness of the Lord's Holy Father, for as Yahweh God's Spirit is One, so then They, the Farther and Son, are One Holy Spirit of TRUTH.
If you ask any thing IN MY NAME, I will do it. Don't forget Messiah's Given Name is Yeshua meaning Salvation!
The Name of the Lord is not a magical incantation to get what ever the vain person wants, but His Name of Yeshua is Holy and specific to the Salvation Name of Yeshua haMashiach and that of His Holy Father Yahweh God, the I AM that I AM.
I even I AM He that comforts you. Who art thou that you should be afraid of Man or the Son of Man, Who shall be made as grass and you should forget the LORD your MAKER. (Isaiah 51 verse 12 thru 13.)
I AM the Vine of TRUTH, and My Father is the Gardener.
It is the faithful believer, who makes his appeal of mercy IN the Salvation Name of Yeshua. There is One Spirit and It Is the Holy Sprit of the I AM that I AM, Who has stipulated that the WAY of LIFE is through the Body and Blood of His Only Begotten Son Yeshua. The Salvation LIFE IN the Blood of Yeshua haMashiach is the only WAY for man to enter the Holy of Holies and into the Presence of of His Father, Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh God Almighty.
Now if the reader is willing, we can have a fresh beginning in our knowledge of the TRUTH, for Yahweh God's revelation time has come to pass. For the Lord's New Covenant Passover Supper, was set before the foundation of the world, and has been brought forth in time, TO BE for the continuance of the Lord's Peace Offering for the sin of Adam and his offspring of man.
Having arrived through the LIFE Blood Yeshua/Jesus, and into the Holy, Holy, Holy Presence of Yahweh Lord God Almighty, we now present our Holy petitions to the Only Yahweh God, the Giver of LIFE abundantly. The Perfect WORD of Yahweh GOD is Yeshua, Who confirms the foundational WORD of His Holy Father Yahweh God, the Lord God Almighty:
You can do nothing without Me. I AM the Vine and My Father is the Gardener. I AM the Vine and you are the branches. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, Yahweh cuts away. Every branch in Me, that bears fruit, Yahweh prunes it that the branch should bear more fruit. Now you are pruned through the Word that I have spoken to you.
The Gardener is looking after the Vine to bear more fruit like unto Himself.
If a man does not live in Me, he is as a branch that withers away, and men gather them up and cast them into the fire and they are burned. If you are IN the Body of Christ, the Vine, can you not hear the Pruning Work of God Almighty? This is My Blood of the New Covenant shed for you for the remission of sin. He that abides (lives) IN Me and I in him. the same brings forth much fruit: For without Me (the Vine), you can do nothing. If you Live IN Me and My Words Live IN you, then whatever you ask it shall be done unto you. (See John 15 verse 1 thru 8.)
If you love Me (as MY disciple) then keep My Commandments. (John 14 verse 15.)
A commandment is an order, command, charge, precept, injunction that is prescribed to one by reason of the transcriber's superior position of understanding.
The Words that I Speak are not Mine, but His that sent Me. If a man loves Me, he will keep My Commandments. He that loves me not keeps not My sayings: and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me. (John 14 verse 24.) It is the Spirit that makes alive; the flesh profits nothing: The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are LIFE. But there are some of you that do not believe. (John 6 verse 63.)
The Almighty Yahweh God is not a god of confusion - but His Word of TRUTH is treated as the leaven of sin and is trashed by vain philosophers. So if you are an unbeliever, then what are the Commandments of the Lord Yahweh that are not comprehended? The astute IN the Spirit of the ONE Lord understands, for the ONE Lord has spoken to them: "My Word is Spirit and TRUTH". But the ONE Spirit of TRUTH IN Christ Jesus, is set at naught by the arrogance of the unbelieving mind of man.
A New Commandment I give you: That you love one another as I have Loved you. by this Love shall all men know you are My disciples. (John 14 verse 34 thru 35.)
The disciple John keeps the TRUTH, and declares in his 1st epistle:
He that says, I know Him and keeps not His Commandment, is a liar, and the TRUTH is not in him. But whosoever keeps His Word because he believes His Word, "Take and drink all of you: This is My Blood of the New Covenant, shed for many for the remission of sin, Then it is IN Him that the Love of God is perfected.
The LOVE of God is the antithesis of sin.
Therefore by His Love we know that we are IN Him. (1st John 2 verse 4 thru 5.) I and My Father are One.
The Lord Jesus is One with His Father Yahweh God Almighty, for Word of TRUTH says.
Thus says The Lord, The King and His Redeemer, The Lord of Host: I AM the First and I AM the Last.
Of absolute necessity, you must know that Yeshua/Jesus, is the genetic Son of the first created Adam, and would be the last Adam, for He was conceived in the womb of the virgin Mary by Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of TRUTH, and was born in the flesh as Emmanuel. For IN the flesh of Man, Yeshua, Jesus is God with us.
I even I AM He that comforts you: who art thou that you should be afraid of a Man or the Son of Man, Who shall be made as grass and you should forget the LORD your MAKER. (Isaiah 51 verse 12 thru 13.) For when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from My Father, He, the Spirit of TRUTH will testify of Me to you. And because you have been with Me from the beginning, then you also will bear witness of Me. When God's Spirit of TRUTH is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, through judgment. (See John 15 verse 25 thru 26, and chapter 16 verse 8.)
The Words that I speak are not Mine, but the Father's, Who sent Me. For: I AM the WAY, I AM the TRUTH, and I AM the LIFE: No one comes to the Father except by Me. If you had known Me, you should have known My Father also: For He (My Father, the I AM that I AM) is the One that does the (His) Works - - - of Salvation unto Sanctification.
He that has MY Commandments and Keeps My Commandments, Loves Me, and he shall be Loved by My Father, and I (as in We) shall manifested My Self (as in Our Self) to him: For We will come unto him and make Our abode with him. He that does not love Me, does not keep My Word, and the Word is not Mine, but the Word of TRUTH is My Father's, Who sent Me (as the Bread of LIFE).
Believe Me that I AM IN the Father, and the Father IN Me: or else believe Me for the very Works' sake. And why would you not believe the Works; for the (Salvation) Works are those of the Fathers. I and the Father are One. 13 And whatsoever you shall ask IN My Name (Yeshua), that will I do, that the Father may be glorified IN the Son. 14 If you shall ask any thing IN My Name, (Yeshua/Jesus) I will do it. (John 14 verse 11 thru ) You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen and ordained you to go and bring forth lasting fruit, that what ever you ask My Father IN My Name (Yeshua, Jesus), He may give it to you. (John 15 verse 16.)
The Glorified WORD of God
Listen closely to the WORD in John 14 verse 25 thru 26, and the following:
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My Name (of Yeshua = Salvation), He shall teach you all things, (of Salvation) and bring all things to your remembrance of whatsoever I have said unto you.
Again, if we are listening from the beginnings of Scripture, then we hear the WORD of Yahweh GOD Say to Moses in Deuteronomy and repeated by Peter at Shavuot/Pentecost:
Him shall you hear 'in all things' whatsoever He shall say unto you. For it shall come to pass that every soul, which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. (Acts 3 verse 22 thru 23.)
In the pride of our own understanding, we are not inclined to hear and do "all things' that Jesus Christ the WORD of Yahweh GOD has spoken. We may have put ourselves in sever jeopardy because of our unbelief in the fullness of the WORD of the TRUTH of Salvation.
If a person does not live IN Me, Says the TRUTH of the WORD of God, then that person is cast forth as a withered branch, and men gather them up, and cast them into the fire where they are burned.
The Almighty Yahweh God is Gracious IN His Covenant WORD, and will abundantly pardon all the rebellious that in humility fully come to Him through the Blood of His Son, Yeshua our Savior and Lord. Has not the Lord Yeshua said?
"This is My Blood of the New Covenant, shed for many for the remission of sin. Do this IN Remembrance of Me?
Does the WORD that Holy Yahweh God has sent to the earth to Speak IN His Name, fail to register in the finite grey matter of the those who are called to Yahweh God's New Covenant Salvation IN Christ Jesus?
Believe Me that I AM IN the Father, and the Father IN Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake.
And why would you not believe the miraculous Works, for the miracles are those of Father Yahweh God, and were performed to build up man's faith in Yahweh's New Covenant Salvation for Man.
I and the Father are One.
No one will be able to make a distinction between Yeshua and Yahweh God.
If you have seen Me, then you have seen the Father also.
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, Whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you: Not as the world gives peace, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
King David, the psalmist, would absolutely concur. A thousand years earlier than the Gospels, and with the inspiration of the Spirit of the Word of Yahweh God Almighty, David writes of the Word of God Who would come in the flesh of Man/Adam:
Thy throne, O God is forever and ever: The scepter of Thy Kingdom is a Right Scepter. Thou has loved righteousness, and hated wickedness: therefore God, Thy Yahweh God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.
The Lord's fellows are His brother's of the Hebrew race. (See Psalm 45 verse 1 thru 7.)
The writer to the Jews, interpreted as the writer to the Hebrews, reiterates the same Words of the Psalmist David. (See Hebrews 2 verse 5 thru 13.)
John the Baptist says of Jesus Christ:
The One Who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what He has seen and heard, but no one accepts His Testimony. The man, who has accepted His Testimony, has certified that God is Truthful. (John 3 verse 31 thru 33.)
Unfortunately, in many of the essential matters pertaining to Life, the people who should know and trust the Word of the Lord, are left wandering in the dark with their own philosophical dogmas. The confusion that remains in the darkness of finite minds, engenders unbelief within the assemblies. In our own darkness, It is like calling Yahweh God a liar, and He needs to be helped out of His own stew. Nevertheless, Jesus Christ, the Infinite WORD of Father GOD Almighty further declares:
"Even as the Father Said unto Me, so I speak." "The Father Who sent Me, He gave Me a Commandment, what I should Say, and what I should Speak. He that rejects Me, and receives not My Words, has one that judges him.
The Words that I have Spoken, the Same shall judge him in the
last day."
(See
John 12 verse 50, then verse 48.)
The TRUTH shall come to the forefront, for the one who will bring the echo of Yahweh God's judgment is Moses, for Moses is a true Hebrew called of Yahweh God. It is Moses, at the Word of Yahweh God, who is the one giving warning to all those, who would not receive all of Yahweh's Words. For the Word of Yahweh God would be delivered by the Prophet Yeshua haMashiach that Yahweh God would raise up to be a genetically true Hebrew, like that of Moses. Jesus/Yeshua, the Incarnate Word of God, when answering the righteous religious, says to the unbelievers:
How can you believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from Yahweh God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: There is one that accuses you, even Moses, in whom you trust. For had you believed Moses, you would have believed Me; for he wrote of Me. But if you believe not his writings, how shall you believe My Words? (See John 5 verse 44 thru 47.)
The Eternal God's Spirit of Wisdom testifies of His WORD OF TRUTH that cannot ever fail. Yahweh God's Doctrinal Instructions is for the Sanctification of believers through His Promised Holy Spirit of Grace, whereby He provides the Almighty's Communion fellowship in the Body and Blood of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Yahweh God's New Covenant, is within the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ. The LIFE IN the Blood of Christ Jesus can only be received by faithful believers, who are trusting in the Whole of the Father's Personal Doctrine of Salvation through the Almighty's Sanctifying Grace given through the ONE Spirit of His Holy WORD and beloved Son Jesus Christ.
For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son, honors not the Father Who has sent Him. Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that hears My Word, and believes on Him (Yahweh God Almighty) that sent Me, has everlasting LIFE, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto LIFE. Verily, Verily, I Say unto you: The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the Voice of the Son of (Yahweh) God: And they that Hear shall Live. (John 5 verse 22 thru 25.) Can the reader hear the One Voice of the Lord of TRUTH Speaking?
For with the Father Yahweh God's Perfect Love, the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) Said:
Peace I give you, not as the world gives peace give I unto you. (John 14 verse 27.) As the Living Father has sent Me, and I Live by the Father: so he that eats of Me, (by Faith) even he shall Live by Me (Through Faith). This is that Bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eats of this Bread shall Live forever. (John 6 verse 56 thru 58.)
Therefore, would not the ONE WORD of our Lord Yeshua and of Yahweh God, with the empowerment of Eternal Spirit of Grace, be clothing His Body of believers in the absolute substance of His Love and Peace that passes all understanding? The TRUTH eternally prevails IN His Righteousness. Why would we remain in our own proud, closeted heart that continues to deceive us again, and again?
The challenge to Yahweh God's Word is always present in every generation of mankind, for the enemy of our souls, Satan, is yet present with his deception. So let us today, reconsider and examine our own veracity and understanding, that is confronted by the Infinite's TRUTH and Council. If Jesus, the WORD of Yahweh GOD, is speaking His Father's own Divine Doctrine during the Last Supper Communion discourse, then why is the watered down doctrine of men, substituted for the solid Rock of Christ and His Father's WORD of LIFE? Even upon hearing the WORD of Yahweh God, the proud mind of flesh is always presumptuous to substitute its council, for that of Father Yahweh God Almighty, and make void, or at best limit His Holy WORD of TRUTH within the hearts and minds of His elect people, who are to be of One Faith IN Yahweh God.
Confusion, within the mind of flesh, began in the Garden of Eden, and the willful corruption continues today. Some might say; Oh, God is certainly not a liar: It must be that God has exaggerated His Word. He was just using a metaphor, when His WORD Jesus Said;
"This is My Body" and "This is My Blood".
I think not! For pertaining to faith, the Scripture says:
For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yes, let God be True, but every man a liar, as it is written: That Thou might be justified in Thy sayings (Words), and might overcome, when Thou art judged. (Romans 3 verse 3 thru 4.)
That which is Holy to Yahweh God, no mortal eyes will behold: The Body and the Blood of Jesus Christ is Holy before Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Yahweh God Almighty, for only Yahweh God beholds His Holy WORD within His Holy Son's Blood Covenant, given by Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace to man for the remission of sins. If any person of Holy Faith rightly partakes of Holy Communion, then that faith is justified. However, if the unbelieving or the unrepentant soul partakes of that, which is Holy before Holy Yahweh God Almighty, then that soul will reap his recompense. The believing one eats and drinks the LIFE of Yeshua in faith; while the unbelieving soul eats and drinks, their own condemnation.
I Will Watch Over My WORD, to Perform
It.
(Jeremiah 1 verse 12.)
Have you not heard; "A man is only as good as his word". A man's name is at stake, according to his keeping of his word. The Name of Yahweh God and His reputation has been challenged, and as it is written:
For You have magnified Your WORD above all of Thy Name. (See Psalm 38 verse 2.)
The Word of Yahweh God has infinite implications and His most magnificent Name is tied to His WORD of TRUTH IN Yeshua haMashiach. Jesus Christ, the Expressed WORD and TRUTH of His Father Yahweh God, amplifies the WORD of Yahweh God, for He declares the TRUTH:
Think not that I AM come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I AM not come to destroy, but to fulfill (the Words of the prophets). For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law (Torah), till all be fulfilled. (See Matthew 5 verse 17 thru 18.)
Yahweh God's Word does not fail in one jot or one tittle of the Torah or of the WORDS of the prophets, else heaven and earth would have already passed away into oblivion. Nothing would exist, for all things are held up in the Power of the WORD of Yahweh God. Christ Jesus is the TRUTH that is IN the WORD of His Father Yahweh God, for the WORD was conceived in the genetic flesh of the first created Man preserved in the genetic seed of Ishshah/Woman. Yahweh God's Word came IN the flesh of the Son of Man/Adam, and was crucified to His death on the cross, and defeated death in His resurrection to LIFE in the Power of the Spirit of His Father Yahweh God Almighty.
Yahweh God's Name has no failure in His Word of TRUTH. Truly, Truly, it is by the substance of Faith and trust IN the Word of Yahweh God the Father that the Covenant Cup of Blessing, which we acknowledge, has become for us Yahweh God's Covenant of Love and forgiveness in the shed Blood of His Lamb, Jesus Christ. Yahweh God's Covenant Grace through His Holy Spirit cancels out our commission of our acknowledged, known and unknown sins of yesterday and today, and allows us to exist in the purity of the One Body of Jesus the Messiah. Yahweh God's New Covenant, in the Blood of Jesus Christ, covers us in the abundance of His Love, putting away our confessed sin in the laver of His Love! We all need to humbly repent of our own arrogance and self deceptions in our self perceived independence, and give heed to the Master's Word's of Infinite and Divine TRUTH. (See John 3 verse 10 thru 11.) And Jesus says during His Communion discourse: I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father [Yahweh God], I have made known unto you. These things I Command you, that you love one another. (In full context John 15 verse 15 thru 17.)
However, if you love your sin more than Yahweh God and His Son or even your fellow man, then your bondage to sin will remain with you. Also, when ever a human heart is lacking in Salvation Faith, then Jesus Christ is not enthroned, for the Spirit of Christ is left powerless to change the substance within the heart of the free willed person. Without the beginning Substance of saving Faith within the heart, it is impossible to please Yahweh God. (See Hebrews 11 verse 6.) Without even a little faith, you can be sure that the wrath of your sin will find you out. (See Numbers 32 verse 23.)
But if we walk in the Light, as He Yahweh God is the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (1st John 1 verse 7.) Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I AM the Light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of LIFE.
With the enablement of Yahweh God's Spirit of TRUTH, we will continue to endeavor through these pages to help the weak in faith, to begin to see that the Master's WORD are forever LIFE, for they came forth from the Eternal Yahweh God of the living. (See Mark 12 verse 26 thru 28.) My surety and confidence is not of me, but is in the New Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ, where I have been privileged, through Yahweh God's Sprit of Grace, to begin to see the other dimensions of Yahweh God's Covenant Love poured out into a cup, which I will frequently drink from, knowing full well of His faithfulness to cleanse me of my acknowledged iniquity. 'The antithesis to my sin', is Yahweh God's greater Love given to all believers in the Covenant LIFE giving Blood of His only Son, Yeshua the Messiah. So, in spite of man's negative doctrines, Protestant as well as Catholic, I say for certainty with Scripture that the WORD'S of Jesus Christ, holds power over all elemental things, for all of creation belongs to Him, for the WORD of His Father Yahweh God remains constant in Him, yesterday, today and tomorrow. As we have emphasized, and will later again in the treatise, all the elements of the universe were created and impregnated by the WORD of Christ IN GOD, and by His Spirit of Holiness, they will be what He says they will be, even for the sake of Yahweh God's Holy Covenant with His own Holy Living WORD and Son, Jesus Christ, for They are of One Heart and One Essence for ever.
Seeing with the Eyes of the Spirit.
The Apostle Paul says: "Let me show you a more excellent way." "And now abide these three; faith, hope, Love and the greatest of these is sacrificial Love." (1st Corinthians 12 verse 31, and 13 verse 13.) We echo the spirit of Paul's writings, and will attempt to put more light on the unseen Holy Substance of the Love of Yahweh God. For,
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. (1st Corinthians 13 verse13 and Proverbs 9 verse 10.)
I know for sure, that we build up impediments in our own minds through the worldly thoughts of others. There is a convoluted saying that goes, "we cannot -- see-- the forest, because of the trees" or in context is it visa verse, "we cannot -- see-- the trees, because of the forest". The original proverb was written by John Heywood in his proverb collection in 1546, “You cannot see the wood for the trees.” Are we lost in the details or the overall picture? Our view of the words 'memorial or remembrance' may be just such a stumbling block that prevents our understanding of the TRUTH of the Communion Words of Jesus Christ. The Communion Words of Jesus Christ, as written within Scripture, could be relegated to have an insignificant meaning of just simple passing thought, or of monumental proportions, such as the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Grant's Tomb, or Lincoln’s Memorial or any other memorial of man's making. All of these structures, which we can see with our eyes, are memorials or tributes built to commemorate the lives of dead men.
Lets try to reason together. If you can see only with your natural senses a forest such as the natural wine and bread, then you may never see with the eyes of living faith the Only Entrance into the monument of God's Love and Mercy within the New Communion Covenant Body and Blood of our risen Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Thinking that we have already arrived by a quasi understanding of scripture, then our pride in what we think we know, prevents us from remembering the Bloody Body of Jesus Christ that was suspended from the branches of a cross. The Roman instrument of the cross did not take away our sins, but it was the guiltless Holy Son of Yahweh God, Who, in His body of flesh, was nailed to that cruel instrument of death. Yahweh God's Sacrificial Gift of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, was given by our merciful Yahweh God for the remission of mankind's treasonous sins committed against the Creator. Through a person's faith in Father Yahweh God's Gift of the crucified LIFE of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, then IN His raising to LIFE the dead Body of Christ, the dead soul of man can be reborn into LIFE by God's Holy Spirit of LIFE. Nevertheless, the flesh of the called man that house our redeemed soul remains a problem, and so in God's New Blood Covenant, the Incarnate WORD of the Father says "Do this in Remembrance of Me". Without the partaking of the whole of the Communion Memorial, in living faith, we may remain as naturally self centered individuals, and may never experience God's approving countenance, and His waiting expectancy for the unity of hearts, within all of the dead members within the One Body of Jesus Christ.
The Sin of Adam, by its very nature of corruption of life, brings about the inevitable promise of death to all of Adam kind. Yahweh Elohim, the Creator of the universe, is not a party to sin and its reward of death, for HE is the HOLY LORD GOD of the Living, and is Eternally separated from the corruption of sin and death. Because of Adam's rebellious sin and that breads death, HOLY Yahweh God's Spirit of LIFE withdrew Himself from Adam and his wife. Now the soul of rebellious Man kind, is absent of Yahweh's Spirit of Holiness and LIFE. Therefore, the dead of all of genetic man kind can not save themselves from their own rebellious sin's of death. The free will of mankind would declare their allegiance to themselves, and now with the absence of the leading of Holy God's Spirit of LIFE, their self centered choice was already established in all of genetic mankind with their sin being the cause of inevitable death.
Sin and death came by the first Man, we call Adam. From timeless Eternity, the timeless Wisdom of Yahweh Elohim, had already determined the plight of man kind. In Yahweh God's Justice, the rebellious sin of the first Man Adam that brought forth death to mankind, must be paid for by the absolute righteousness of a Man of Adam's genetic kind. The gross imperfection of the first Man, Adam, that brought death to mankind, must be paid for by the absolute Perfection of the Last Adam that would give LIFE to the dead of mankind.
Our Living Faith, is in Yahweh God's New Covenant in the Blood of Jesus Christ. We are to understand that the New Blood Covenant is to be IN Unity with Yeshua haMashiach and the Will of His Father Yahweh God. That which is Spoken by the WORD, enables the one of Faith, to see more clearly through the forest of wooden trees. The very LIFE of Christ is made manifest with our consuming of God's Sacrificial Offering of both the dead Flesh of the Son of Man and the LIFE giving Blood of our Risen Savior and Lord.
" Do This IN Remembrance of Me".
To receive a better understanding of our Communion with God, please study in the box enclosure the transliteration of the English word “remembrance”, derived from the Greek word “anamnesis”. We sinners are forgetful hearers of the necessary Words' of God's New Covenant in the Sanctifying Blood of His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. If we are left to the stubborn ignorance within our spirits of a vacillating minds, then we may loose the WAY and find ourselves on the outside of TRUTH, looking for our own entrance into the Kingdom of God.

The Greek word "anamnesis", is transliterated in English to "Remembrance", and has the implication of Yahweh God's Communion TRUTH being done often for the forgetful believers, who are to be dead IN the BODY of CHRIST. Remember that sin causes death, and because of our sin, the sinless Yeshua/Jesus was made to be sin and death for all of us sinners. Our Communion in the Sanctified Bread and Wine is to maintain within the forgetful minds of professed believer's the Lord's sinless Sacrificial Death for our sin and death. Our Communion in His Body and Blood, reminds us of His faithfulness to His New Covenant Word of Promised LIFE IN Him.
For as often as you eat this Bread, and drink this Cup, you do show the Lord's death till He comes again. (1st Corinthians 11 verse 26.)
Every person dwelling by faith IN the Body of Christ Jesus, is to liken themselves to be dead to sin's influence, because the condemnation of sin has already brought forth the forfeiture of the life that exist naturally in their willful body of flesh.
Sin and its death in the flesh of the believers IN the Lord Christ Jesus, is to no longer have dominion over the souls of those that are IN the Body of Christ. Why continue to live in sin, when sin only confirms our death sentence. Sin and its workings of death does not exist IN the Body of the LIVING Christ Jesus. for with repentance of confessed sinfulness, sin and death is abundantly pardoned through the unseen LIFE giving Communion Blood of Jesus Christ, and our transgressions are cleansed within our minds of flesh. In remembering that Christ Jesus died for our sins, we are also to Remember that in Faith, we are buried with Jesus Christ IN His BODY, and are buried with Him in our Baptism of Death into His Body. Therefore, we are to understand that sin has already killed us, and we should conclude with Paul that, It is no longer I that can lives in sin, for by Faith I am already dead IN the crucified Body of Christ, nevertheless by that same Faith I also have living IN me the LIFE of the Righteous Resurrected Person of Christ Jesus Who loved me and died for sinful me.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the LIFE which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of [Yahweh] God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2 verse 20.)
The Fountain of cleansing Water from Yahweh God's Covenant Word of LIFE is received IN the unseen Sacrificial LIFE giving Blood of Yeshua, for the Blood of the Son of MAN, assures the resolute believer that they would be raised to LIFE IN the Resurrected Body of the Man Christ Jesus. The conformation of Yahweh God's New Covenant in the Blood of Jesus Christ is assured in Messiah Yeshua's Bodily Resurrection victory over our sin and death. Yahweh God's Peace and Freedom is freely given to all those who abide IN Christ Jesus, and enables the believers to rejoice IN our faithful God Who redeems His people of faith with His unfailing Promised WORD of LIFE IN Christ Jesus!
If we are taught and believe that we're saved by the Grace of God, then does that mean that sin has ceased in the flesh of believers? Are we now perfected in the flesh, because we have heard a quasi interpretation of the Truth of the Gospel? If you understand that the answer to both questions is NO, then perhaps you may understand with a little nudging that we are forgetful hearers or doubtful believers even when we hear the TRUTH of the WORD of God? Hear the warnings of Paul, and then consider the errors that proceed out of the flesh of humankind!
I do not hesitate to declare unto you the whole council of [Yahweh] God. Therefore, take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which Yahweh's Spirit has made you overseers, to feed the Ecclesia of God, which He has purchased with His Own Blood. For I know that after my departure, shall grievous wolves enter in among you, and without mercy shall not spare the flock. Also, among your own selves, shall men arise, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples that would follow them.
Therefore watch and remember, that during the last 3 years I ceased not to warn every one of the coming perversion both night and day, even with tears.
And now, brethren, I commend you to Yahweh God, and to the WORD of His Grace, for He [His WORD] is able to build you up, and give you an inheritance with all them that are Sanctified [by His WORD of Grace]. If the reader is not pleased with any inserted interpretations then please investigate the KJ Version of Scriptures in (Acts 20 verse 27 thru 32.)
Sin's dark coverings in our fleshly minds makes us falsely perceive of our own worth in our own self righteousness. Oops, our perceived self righteousness leaves us dead in our sin, and not dead IN the BODY of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Without the reproofing guidance of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit, then the stigma of sin remains active within the sullied mind's of human flesh. (See Romans 7 verse 22 thru 25.) The vile nature of sin within our minds of flesh, only amplifies the necessity for God's Sanctifying Grace within Yahweh God's New Covenant Communion IN the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Yahweh God's One Spirit of LIFE IS the administrator of Yahweh God's Grace, for He gives His renewing LIFE IN the Blood of Messiah Yeshua that gives Holy Strength to Christ's Body of believers.
The Lord Jesus Christ did not give to His Ecclesia a nonchalant symbolic metaphor, as many church leaders may think and erroneously teach in their manipulated doctrine: But Holy Communion is given to Baptized believers as Yahweh God's expressed Word within His New Blood Covenant IN Christ Jesus for our remembrance of Jesus' death and conquest over our sins that separate mankind from Yahweh God. Our worshipful remember in God's New Covenant Gift, is that our right standing and justification in our faith with God, is universally signed in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, and ratified by His resurrection in the power of the Word of LIFE instilled within the Incarnate Word through His Father God Almighty.
Therefore does My Father Love Me, because I lay down My LIFE, that I might take it again. No man takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. This Commandment ( Of the WORD of LIFE} have I received of My Father. (John 10 verse 17 thru 18.)
The Lord's New Covenant Words during the Feast of Unleavened Bread, are linked together as One. The WORD of God goes hand in hand with God's Covenant Mandate for the believer to receive the New Covenant Communion LIFE of Christ quite frequently. The Eternal Creator, Yahweh Elohim would know of our weak frame of earthly flesh, and had seen from Eternity, the necessity for frequent repetitions for sinners. The Covenant people of Yahweh God tend to forget that their old independent nature of corrupted flesh remains present and desires to control them. But, Remember the Word of LIFE In Yahweh God's New Covenant of LIFE:
This is My Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins; This do in Remembrance of Me. For Yahweh God was IN Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.
When Communing with His disciples, at what is called the Passover Seder, the Lord Jesus, brought to a close the old Covenant, for while His disciples were eating the lamb of the old Covenant, Jesus inaugurates the New Covenant IN His LIFE giving Blood with the Third Cup of Salvation. (Matthew 26 verse 26.) The same Communion New Wine Skin is tied to Christ's Ecclesia Body, that would be IN rehearsal for the marriage supper of the Bride, for the Bide of Christ is cleansed by the Blood of Yahweh God's Perfect Sacrificial Lamb of Yahweh God's Passover.
If we presume to think we are members IN the Body of Christ and continue to live in sin, then perhaps in our absentmindedness we need to remember that we are not born again because of our genetic blood line in man, nor of the will of the flesh that is the will of man, but we are born again by the Will of Yahweh God Almighty. And don't forget the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying,
Not by the might [of man], nor by the power [of man], but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4 verse 6.)
If we participate within this Living Memorial of Yahweh's Sacrifice of His Lamb given for the dead of sinful Man kind, then we need to remember that the dead IN the Body of Christ Jesus, are proclaiming the Lord's Death for our selfish desires and corrupted actions until the victorious Jesus/Yeshua comes again for His redeemed Bride. (See 1st Corinthians 11 verse 26.) Through the unseen Holy Spirit of Yahweh God, we are coming together to drinking of Yahweh God's WORD Declared New Covenant IN the LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ.
Although our Faith IN Christ Jesus has made us individually dead members within the Body of Jesus Christ, God has given each one of us His Gift of Living His Mind, so that IN Christ, we would all be saying the same things of God Almighty. So then, we are making a public testimony of the Will of God and we are in one accord with Holy Yahweh God's Sanctifying New Blood Covenant given for the remission of man's sin and death. Through Yahweh God's Spirit of LIFE, we have each recognized the death of our own self centeredness, and now through our eating by Faith of the Body of Jesus Christ, and then drinking IN Faith of Yahweh God's cleansing New Covenant LIFE giving Blood of His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, we have the Promise of LIFE IN the Christ of God. The Word of Almighty Yahweh God, is the Giver of LIFE and is Glorified IN His Son of Salvation LIFE.
Now, as it is with so many Christian Communities of doctrinal error, if there is unbelief in the Creator God's Communion WORD in Christ's Blood of the New Covenant, then sin with its deadly errors in the flesh of mankind will persist with its unabated corruption. Therefore, if Yahweh God's Word Sanctified Bread and Wine are left as lifeless elements without faith expectations through the Spirit of Yahweh God, then for a surety you will eat according to your callous faith, and your strength will be according to the dictates of your flesh. The error is compounded in the unbelieving church leadership, for there teaching are centered upon individual self worth and what the unconditional love of god can give their followers. They lack reverence for the expressed New Covenant WORD of Yahweh God, that is inaugurated by the WORD of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. This is MY Blood of the New Covenant shed for many for the remission of sin. As often as you do this, you Remember My Death for your sin. From the foundation of the world, this IS Yahweh God's Communion Blood Covenant that Christ, the innocent Lamb of God shed for the believing members of His Ecclesia. (See Matthew 26 verse 26 thru 28 and Hebrews 10 verse 19 thru 23.)
Unfortunately, the same guilt can be said for those who participate in Holy Communion on a weekly bases, just because they believe it to be a religious duty of the institution they attend. In the Roman Catholic Church, prior to 2003, and dating back to at least the 1200's, the affirming New Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ for the Remission of confessed sins, was not prioritize to the people of the pews. During this time period of 800 hundred years, confusion with expediency brought in the doctrine of Transubstantiation, where the Roman Church with its controlling powers, declared at the Council of Trent that the Communion of the bread, was now the combined flesh and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that the Blood, transubstantiated in the wine, was not necessary for the communicants of the laity. Concerning the Communion cup, Vatican II, changed the Roman Church's dogmatic position that was infallibly established at the church's Council of Trent. Since 2002, until the present time, with the discretion of the local Bishops, the Communion Cup maybe offered to all the communicants of the pews.
Paul, concurring with the WORD of God, writes: For as often as you eat this [unleavened] Bread, and drink of This Cup, you do show the Lord's death till He comes. If we are to remember the Lord's death until He comes again, then we need to understand that the crucified Body of Jesus Christ was dead because of our rebellious sins against the good Will of Almighty Yahweh God. The Son of Man did not commit any sin whatsoever: Even so, His Body was made to be sin for us dead sinners, for He was crucified to death to atone for Man kind's rebellion against their Creator. Now then, sin could not hold the Holy innocence Lamb of God in the darkness of the Grave, for the Body of Christ was made alive by the Glorious Resurrection Power of the Spirit of Yahweh God Almighty. So then until the Messiah comes again, we are dead members IN the earthly Body of our Lord, but are made alive by the poured out Power of LIFE of the Spirit of Yahweh God that is One with Christ's LIFE Sanctifying Blood. Yahweh God's Holy Spirit is IN absolute union with the LIFE Blood of Jesus Christ, that by the faith of the dead IN Christ per fuses the members of the earthly Body of Christ, with the LIFE of the Spirit of Yahweh God.
Jesus said: Verily, Verily, I say unto you; except you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood, you have no LIFE in you. Whoso eats of My flesh, and drinks My Blood, has Eternal LIFE; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6 verse 53 thru 54.)
Do you still think that God's Holy Communion is an absurdity, or at best a symbolic metaphor?
Twice in the Lord's discourse in John 6, we read: "Verily, Verily, I say unto you". Those first two words "Verily, Verily" are transliterated words from Hebrew to Greek to Latin, to English, etc., and that Word is universally "Amen" meaning "so be it". We need to recognize with absolute certainty, that the One Who is saying "Amen, Amen, I say to you", is none other than the Great AMEN:
These things says The AMEN, the faithful and TRUE Witness, the beginning of the creation of Yahweh God. (Revelations 3 verse 14.)
The Words of Jesus Christ do not fail in one jot or tittle of the WORD of His Holy Father, although perverse men trivialize the significance of His Word to justify their finite mind's understanding of the unknown Infinite. The gainsayers of the flesh, do not create faith in the hearts of men, but color over the Word of God with their ignorance of the Infinite and the Holy. Then, in John 6 verse 32 and 35, Jesus said unto them,
"Verily, Verily, [Amen, Amen.] I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread (manna) from heaven; but My Father gives you the True Bread from heaven". "I AM the Bread of LIFE: He that comes to Me shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst".
Then in verse 53 “Amen, Amen, I say unto you, except you eat the Flesh of the Son of man, and drink His Blood, you have no LIFE in you. (John 6 verse 53.)
Those that come to Jesus Christ, know that in themselves, they are dead in their sin, but the Lord has offered to those who hear the terms of His Covenant Amnesty, and the wise believer will come in full agreement to the terms IN Christ's Body and the LIFE IN His Blood. They that come to Christ are IN full agreement with His WORD, and Yeshua haMashiach says of those who come to Him that He will in no wise cast them out of His Body.
Amen, So be it.
I AM the Living Bread which came down from heaven: If any man
eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever, and the Bread that I will give is My Flesh, which I will give for the Life of the world. (John 6 verse 48 thru 51.)I AM the Bread of LIFE
Yesterday and Today there are teachers who are wise in their own fleshly minds where deception can reign in their free will. This deception in their self righteous sin convinces them that they are justified in their own thinking and have no further need of Yahweh God's cleansing New Covenant in the LIFE giving Blood of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. The manufactured theology of the professed wise is designed to dismiss Holy Communion from the necessary diet of the Christian Believer. The new Believer is to live by the fruit from Yahweh God's Gift of Faith, and the taste of the Fruit of Yahweh God, reveals to the believer of the HOLY LOVE of Yahweh God IN Christ Jesus. Yahweh God declares His NEW COVENANT in the Blood of Jesus Christ to be TRUTH and unfailing, but His creation of man, born of fallible ignorant flesh, makes Yahweh's WORD old and of no consequence.
In the box below are 10 Scriptures that reveal the Communion TRUTH of the WORD of GOD. If you click on the WORD Thanksgiving on any one of the Scriptures in the box below, then you will discover that the English transliteration comes from the Greek Word 'Eucharistia', which is a noun of substance that we would surely know to be the Eucharist IN Faith. This WORD of GOD Almighty is the Solid Substance of Faith, and not a transient descriptive adjective or adverb or verb that in erroneous interpretation would demarcate the Substance of TRUTH IN the WORD of Yahweh GOD that is one and the same TRUTH with the Substance of Faith IN the WORD of the Eternal GOD. (See Faith Hebrews 11 verse 1 thru 4.)
My Holy, Holy, Holy Yahweh Lord God Almighty can not be a party to any form of a lie, like those of finite men in their puffed up ignorance of the HOLY. Taste and see what the bitterness that man's puffed up idolatrous pride has brought to man and their congregation of pew sitters.

If you investigate the distinction between the Greek Eucharistia and Elucharistos, you would first see that Greek Eucharistia is a Subject Noun, while the Greek translation for Eucharistos is and adjective. Eucharistia from the Miriam Webster dictionary means: Eucharist (from the Greek Eucharistia for “Thanksgiving”) is the central act of Christian worship and is practiced by most Christian churches in some form. Unfortunately, the words " in some form", designates unbelief in the TRUTH of the WORD of GOD.
I AM the Bread of Life.
Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. 50 This is [I AM]
the Bread which comes down out of heaven, that anyone may eat of it [this Bread]
and not die.
I AM the Living Bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this
Bread, he will live forever. Yes, the Bread which I will give for the life of
the world is My Flesh. (John
6 verse 48 thru 51.)
The WORD of the Creator of the universe is not dismissed by the word of mankind. The Lamb of Yahweh God destined to be slain even before the foundation of the world, would know of the physical death of His Body, and before hand would have prepare His disciples for His Spiritual Body and His New Covenant Blood that would bring then into remembrance of why He died for all sinners like them.
Eucharistos envelopes the Greek root word charis meaning grace, & the derivative chara which is Greek for joy. Example ”Wishing you joy and thanksgiving this holiday season". Or "Thank you very much".
The Unleavened Bread that the Lord Jesus has given for the LIFE of the world, is Living Bread that came down from the Father of Light. The Bread of Yahweh God is undefiled, for the Natural Body of Jesus is without the leaven of sin, for the Bread of Heaven is completely absent of the satanically defiled leaven of unbelieving sin. Therefore, seeing that we, by the Faith of Christ Jesus, are to be new creations IN Christ Jesus, let us purge out the old leaven of sin and death, and
let us keep the Feast [of the Lord Yahweh] with the Unleavened Bread of sincerity of TRUTH, (See 1st Corinthians 5 verse 8.)
In the Light of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit, the corruption of selfish sin that can so easily weigh us down in the darkness of its guilt, will be exposed, even in the Light of the cutting edge of the glittering Sword of Yahweh God's Spirit. (See Hebrew 4 verse 12 thru 13.) In Yahweh God's unfathomable Goodness, He will allow the pains of our sins to wound us and to bring us to repentance, so that with the conviction of sin's absolute darkness, we would relinquish its condemnation of death to the Only Yahweh God of the Living. All that is not of Holy Yahweh God will be consumed in the Fire of His Protective Jealousy. It is the Spirit of Holy Yahweh God, that is One with the Sanctifying Blood of Jesus Christ, that when yielded to then LIFE'S Eternal Power will separate sinners from sin and death.
In His Eternal Wisdom, Yahweh God intends for the natural desire of sin that rules in our fleshly self, to be completely abated IN the LIFE giving Blood of Christ Jesus. (See John 16 verse 4 thru 11.) In that Yahweh God is healing us of our sins of the flesh, then the heart or soul is left pliable to the expansion of the cleansing Flood of Living Water that will spring up within repentant souls that are always being made alive by the Holy Spirit of the One Yahweh God Almighty.
But if we say that we have no sin then we deceive ourselves and the TRUTH is not in us. If we say we have not sinned then we make Him to be a liar, and His WORD is not in us. But if we confess our sins, Yahweh God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (See 1st John 1 verse 8 thru 10.)
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the WORD of Yahweh God Almighty, Who was made the flesh of Adam, we know as Man, said to His faithful disciples:
Take and eat, for this is My Body given for you.
When the disciple's had eaten of the unleavened Bread of His Presence, Yeshua, the Christ of Yahweh God said of the Cup of Blessing:
Take and drink all of you, for this is My Blood of the New Covenant that is shed for many, for the remission of sin. (See Matthew 26 verse 26 thru 28.) For if we walk in the Light, as He is the Light, we have Communion/Koinonia/Fellowship one with another, and the Blood of Jesus Christ, Yahweh God's Son, cleanses us from all sin. (1st John 1 verse 7.)
True Faith bears witness to the Eternal Facts that are IN the WORD of Yahweh GOD'S Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ. both the seen and the unseen.
That which we have seen and heard, declare we unto you, that you also may have Koinonia with us: And truly our Koinonia is with the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write unto you that your joy may be full. (See 1st John 1 verse 3 thru 4.)
Yahweh God's Spirit of LIFE is IN Christ Jesus, for Yahweh God's One Holy Spirit raised the dead Body of the Son of Man into Yahweh's Eternal LIFE that the WORD and Promised Messiah had received from His Father even in the beginning of time.
And so it was before the treasonous fall of Man/Adam in the Garden of Eden, that Yahweh God's Holy Word, was ordained by Yahweh God to come into this world to save mankind from their death do to Adam's rebellion. Sin and death came to all of mankind because of the treasonos rebellion of the first Adam/Man, and sin and death must be redeemed by Man. and the Salvation of Yahweh God would be conceived by the Spirit of Holy Yahweh God into the generational ovum seed of the virgin Mary for Mary was the generational daughter of Ishshah/Woman, the wife of the first Adam.
The Word of Yahweh God was made the flesh of Man, and having been conceived in the ovum of the virgin Mary, the Child of Yahweh God was born as the Man, Christ Jesus, The Man, Christ Jesus, in the Love of Yahweh God Almighty, would set at naught the sin of the first Man Adam, and in His obedient death on the cross, would crush the head of the evil one. In fulfillment of Yahweh God's resurrection Power of LIFE in Yeshua/Jesus, the Lord released the waiting prisoners who were held captive to sin and death. The darkness of sin and death, had met its match in the Light and Love of Yahweh God that surpasses all understanding. Had they known, the lords and princes that possessed this world IN sin and death, would never have crucified the Lord of Glory. (See 1st Corinthians 2 verse 5 thru 15.)
The True Facts of Yahweh God's Grace are perceived through one's Faith IN Christ Jesus, so that we would all know that Yahweh God's One Holy Spirit of Resurrection Promise, would now come to indwell every faithful member IN the Lord's One Body of Unleavened Bread. So then, if we have the hope of Salvation, as living members IN the One Holy Body of Jesus Christ, then how do we see and treat one another in that we are each born of the same Gift of Resurrection Faith IN our Lord, Christ Jesus? Do we see in each of the members within the Lord's Body, as the Lord Himself, and as one to love and serve as if unto the Lord? In the Light of what has been said, then consider further our discernment of the Lord's Body:
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. (See 1st Corinthians 11 verse 26 thru 33.)
And yet again, how do you perceive the one person, who is dead in their sins and trespasses, and may yet answer Yahweh God's call to repentance and Salvation? Because of our flesh's self conceived haughty pride and prejudice, we are ignorant of the Salvation possibilities in another sinner, seeing that we have forgotten what manner of person we are in our own flesh? (See call to repentance James 4 verse 4 thru 10.) Now in either case of judgment, that presupposes that the Spirit of Christ dwells within our own individualistic heart, and that the spirit of our minds is receptive to the things of the Lord, can we yet hear the Lord Jesus set the prerequisites for LIFE IN Him:
If you Love Me, [then] keep My Commandments: And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter.
Be careful of the spirit of your mind, for Paul warns us that Yahweh God is not mocked:
For if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him: (See Romans 8 verse 8 thru 10.)
And again we hear Paul's warning:
Know you not that you are the temple of Yahweh God, and that the Spirit of Yahweh God dwells in you. For if any man defile the temple of Yahweh God, Yahweh God will destroy him, for the temple of Yahweh God is holy, which temple you are. (See 1st Corinthians 3 verse 16 thru 21.)
The last scripture seen above, follows this reproof that testifies of the Refining Fire of the al-knowing Spirit of Yahweh God:
Now if any man build upon the foundation (of Jesus Christ) gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble, then every man's work shall be made manifest: For the day (of the Lord) shall declare it, because the work shall be tried with Fire and the Fire shall test every man's work to reveal what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon (the Foundation of Christ), he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss (of reward), but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by Fire. (See 1st Corinthians 3 verse 10 thru 15.)
The wise in heart will need to discern for themselves this meaning in Scripture:
I know thy works; that you are neither cold nor hot: I would that you were cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of My Mouth. (See Revelation 3 verse 15 thru 18.)
If a person can be spewed out of the Mouth of the Lord, then they were a living member IN the Body of Jesus Christ, but are now seemingly absent from the Promise of LIFE.
The Sanctifying Covenant Blood of Yahweh God's Only Begotten Son, abides with the witness of His Holy Spirit. If Yahweh God's abiding Spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind, is missing in our lives, then we are sorely missing the leading of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of LIFE, for the very Fountain of Living Water is quenched, as in shut off, leaving the soul of man to shrivel up, and left dry as the sand of the desert. (See 2nd Timothy 1 verse 7.)
It would be apparent in Yahweh God's New Blood Covenant IN Jesus Christ, that the royal priests of Yahweh God are all responsible in seeking Yahweh God's Provisions for the cleansing maintenance of their own individual portion of the Temple of Yahweh God: For we, who are IN Christ, are to be the dwelling place of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit of Grace, Who leads us into all Righteousness. (See 1st Peter 2 verse 9 thru 10.)

The Word's of Yahweh God in the Garden of Eden, were a stumbling block to the unbelieving heart of Man/Adam, and even to this very day, Yahweh God's Personified Word of Eternal Truth, Jesus Christ, remains a stumbling block to humanity.
But whoso keeps His Word, in him verily is the Love of Yahweh God perfected: Hereby know we that we are in Him. (1st John 2 verse 5.)
Jesus says in His priestly prayer to His Father: And I have declared unto them, Thy Name, and will declare it, . (John 17 verse 26.)
As the Father has Loved Me, so have I Loved you: Continue you in My Love. If you keep My Commandments, (then) you shall abide in My Love, even as I have kept My Father's Commandments, and abide in His Love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is My Commandment: That you Love one another, as I have Loved you. Greater Love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends, if you do whatsoever I Command you. (John 15 verse 9 thru 14.)
And above all these things put on Sacrificial Love, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of Yahweh God rule in your hearts, to the which also you are called in One Body; and be you thankful. (Colossians 3 verse 14 thru 15.)
Some years ago, I exchanged some conflicting letter communications on Holy Communion with a brother in Jesus, who happens to be a gifted artist, even though he has the male form of color blindness. Unfortunately, our own religious dogmas and protestations, can cause spiritual blindness that prevents the True Light of the Word of Yahweh God, to enter within our heart and affect a needful change. With some slight modifications and added scripture verses appropriate for this message, I wrote to the color blind artist the following on Holy Communion and the substance of faith:
It is written, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”. What color would you paint the substance of my faith in Jesus Christ, or that of a Catholic brother or Orthodox sister or that of a Protestant believer? What color would you paint the Word of Yahweh God, engrafted to my soul, or theirs? Yahweh God is absolute Light, and there is no shadow in His turning. He alone illuminates the soul of faith, to bring forth the color or colors of His choosing. It is we that are not yet perfect in love, which can create darkness, and cast shadows over the substance of another brother’s faith in Jesus. What is the pure color of love, or of joy, or of peace, ---- for all are of the substance of the fruit of Yahweh God's Holy Spirit, and of the substance of that, which is hoped for in our souls?
Then Jesus said unto them: My Father gives you the True Bread from heaven. For the Bread of Yahweh God is He which comes down from heaven, and gives Life unto the world. I AM the Bread of Life: he that comes to Me shall never hunger; and he that believes on Me shall never thirst. (See John 6 verse 32 thru 35.)
So then the Bread of Life is Christ Jesus, and He is bearing the substance of all that we hope for in Living Faith that is abiding in the Word of Life.
But here, let me paint you a living picture, an abstraction of true faith, and the true substance of the unseen.
Give us this day our Daily Bread.
With God's infinite pallet of color in hand and the application of the paint brush of the Holy Spirit, we begin to paint in the unknown dimensions of the heavenlies. Even so, it is not far off, but very near. There we are, all the redeemed, faithfully gathered around this gracious table of the Lord of our Salvation. God our Holy Father and the Lord Jesus, our High Priest is seated in our midst, and the Glory of God's Spirit fills the room. Then Jesus takes a piece of unleavened bread, and tears it, and turns to you and says: "My dear child, ---- take this and eat of it, for this is My Body, and always remember that the substance of this Bread of Life, comes from Me, and is what I AM. This unleavened Bread, broken for you, is the joy of My Father's heart, that you may have My love, ever increasing within your soul, to nourish you, and then through you, those children of men that are lacking in its substance".
In those Infinite moments at His table, our gracious Lord of Host, in like manner, ministers through the Majesty of His Light and Life, to every member of His Body, that He might give gifts, and add the strength of His Spirit to those that are lacking, and in need of the full Grace of His whole Body, which is knitted together in the color and substance of His Love.
Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Now again, the Master turns to you, and Jesus calling you by name says: "My child, I have an absolutely necessary cup for you to drink from. Remember always that the substance of this drink, comes from the heart and soul of Who I AM; and it is a strong drink of dark judgment, poured out in Love for you. This, -- My Father's Covenant Cup of Love, contains the substance of My Life Blood poured out in judgment for the color of your sin, and the Idolatrous substance of self. Although the issues of both Death and Life are in My Blood, do not be afraid, but faithfully come to My Table of Grace, drink it often, so that all your days may be full of My Light, ---- and in My fields, you work not in darkness, ---- and in your sacrifice of Love to the Father, and My Body, you may bring forth a fruitful harvest of souls to My Table, where the facets of the purity of faith, through Me and in Me, abounds, in faithful hearts, with Life and Love with infinite color, to the Glory of our Father God." (See 1st Thessalonians 1 verse 3.)
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.
(See all of Matthew 6 verse 9 thru 15.)
Jesus Christ is the Living WORD of GOD, and on the Doctrinal Word of His Father God, He commanded each and every member of His Body, to commune with Him and each other, in the True Substance of His Word of Spirit and Life. (See John 6 verse 61 thru 65.) As members of Our Lord's Body, we participate in the eating of the Bread of Life that is given to us in Holy Communion through God's Holy Spirit of Grace. The Bread of God, is as an ever-Living Memorial of God's Perfect Gift, that in partaking of God's Gift together, it would signify our unity within our risen Living Savior. The substance of God's Love, is ratified in the Life giving Blood of the Son of Man, the incarnate Son of God, Who gave all of Himself, a perfect offering of Love to His Father, to satisfy God's righteous judgment, against rebellious and self loving mankind.
With amazing grace, it is the Almighty God of Love, Who has Loved us first, and has sown His Salvation Word within earthen vessels, so that the Perfection of His Love might be established within our hearts. Lift up your hearts, for the Lord is Present among His people to pardon and cleanse, and to heal with nurturing comfort for all. Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone, and we are to be the living stones of this memorial of God's LOVE that is not built with hands, but with a Holy Heart. (See 1st Peter 2 verse 4 thru 5.) He is the Vine that nourishes the branches, to bring forth the fruit of His Love within each member of His Body. This Truth of God's nourishing Love is best maintained within the mind, heart and soul of a person through faith in the True Essence of God's heavenly Food, received through the Spirit of Truth. If we are of the faith of Christ, then Holy Communion is The Almighty God's Living Covenant of Life, foundationally built upon Jesus' poured out Life Blood upon this earth, and forever established in His risen Body. It is God's Spirit of Holiness, in union with the Communion Life Blood of Jesus Christ, to put away our current sins of remembrance, and to bring us into concert (Communion) together as one, unified within our Lord's Holy risen Body.
"Love covers a multitude of sin".
However, if we say that we have not sinned in the flesh, then where is our light? In the comfort of our darkness, we will not see our great need for that Agape Love that covers the multitude of sin.
If we say, "We have fellowship with Him," while continuing to walk in darkness, we are liars and do not practice the Truth. But if we walk in Light, as He is in the Light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of His Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we say, "We are free of the guilt of sin," we deceive ourselves and the [Personification of] Truth is not to be found in us. (1st John 1 verse 6 thru 8.)
Sin, saps the life out of the soul and spirit of our being, but Jesus Christ, the WORD of GOD has come that we might have freedom in His Life, and have it more abundantly. As Christians, we have two choices. In Holy Communion, we can eat in faith of the Flesh and drink of the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of Adam, with full expectations of the renewal of the Lord's Covenant Life within us, or we can just let sin in the flesh, continue to have its pernicious way of breeding death, by means of its idolatrous concupiscence. Corruption of the heart is manifested in manifold ways, for unrepented sin will bring sorrows that can lead to despair, with the appearance of death.
Obviously in all the Churches, sin is very persistent, as it continues to perpetuate its desires in the flesh. The presence of willful sin, will quench the Holy Spirit, and leave us as dead in our sins. Like a virus, sin will continue to increase its own kind, by seeding itself in the flesh of man, unless it is exposed in the Light of God, and then isolated by our confession to our Savior. Then by God's Covenant Grace within Communion, sin is put to rest in the conscience of the believer, through the spiritual immune response from the Sanctifying Blood of Jesus Christ. Through the Sword of the Spirit the power of the Covenant Blood of Jesus Christ, will strip away entirely, the nature of sinful flesh. (See Colossians 2 verse 11.) Can you not begin to see with the eyes of faith that the poured out Blood of Jesus Christ for the sins of humanity, is the poured out Love of God that overcomes this world of sin and death?
It is now time to search out the Eternal God's thoughts and perspectives, and not the finite mind of the flesh of man that is perishing. The Church, which is to be the Body of Jesus Christ, on the whole, has been and remains asleep to the Power of Holy Communion and its ultimate purpose of Oneness in God, as the Bride of Jesus Christ.
The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, with the Communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2nd Corinthians 13 verse 14.)
