The Word of YHWH - The Word of YHWH The Word (novels for teenagers .txt) 📗

started long ago. As the good Jew often says, “It is not incumbent upon you to complete the work but neither are you at liberty to desist from it.” In the same way, it is not up to us to walk on water but neither are we at liberty to desist from leaving the boat. In all, the Leap of Faith is there to remind us what we are to do for the love of God, for The Love of God to save us. Matthew 26:41, Luke 14:33

 

Dear brothers, now that you know what to do, show your commitment by setting the date of rescue with our Savior to ensure the end of your captivity. Mark 9:23, 2Timothy 2:26 As for the good Jew, what are you waiting for? Ezekiel 11:12, Acts 22:16, John 18:37

This step fulfills the Feast of Weeks, also known as the Day of Pentecost. On this step, we receive the seal of the protection that began from the inside as well as from the outside. 1Peter 1:5, Hebrews 1:14 As the protection continues, the nurturing unto holiness also continues until the child is delivered to The Father at the appointed time. 2Corinthians 4:16, 1John 5:18

 

During this event, we are given a new commandment that is to be practiced during the Work of The Spirit to produce the Fruit of The Spirit. John 13:34, 2John 1:5-6 The Baptism of The Spirit fulfills the phase of Righteousness as it begins the phase of holiness and therefore, the perfect transition between the two. There is a design that can help us understand this transition as well as the golden model.

 

The design of our hands is the perfect example to understand the Lamp of Truth as well as the Lampstand of Truth. To see this, let us use a design that has long been used by the physical children of God to mirror the golden model. Begin by raising your hands with the back of your hands in front of you. Then, make the two thumbs meet. Then, naturally align the first four fingers while keeping them straight. Then, keep the right index finger straight while dropping the last three fingers, for now.

 

Notice how the first four steps are designed to work together to end Sin. After the fourth step, we notice a marked drop; this drop is symbolic of our Death to Sin. After this, we notice a small rise towards the fifth step; this is symbolic of our birth to Righteousness.

 

After transitioning to the sixth step, we notice a small drop; this drop is symbolic of our first death, which is our natural death. Then after, we notice a high rise; this is symbolic of the day when we meet The Savior in the air, which takes place at the sound of the seventh trumpet. 1Corinthians 15:51-52, 1Thessalonians 4:15-17 So just as the fifth commandment of the Law bridges our relationship with our God and our brother in Righteousness, the fifth step of the Lampstand bridges our relationship with our God and our brother in holiness.

 

As we patiently wait for the last day to come, we eagerly begin the journey at hand. Romans 8:23-25, Ephesians 6:14-18 Having said this, what exactly do we receive when Faith arrives? If we know that “Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see,” how are we to be sure of what we hope for if we are not even certain of what we do not see? In other words, who or what is The Spirit of God?

 

Brothers, the truths we are about to receive are quite heavy to digest, especially when we are still working on the elementary truths of God. Hebrews 5:13-14 Notwithstanding, it has pleased The Father to provide us with the knowledge that is inherent with the children of God, for this is how The Father sees us and this is what we are to become. John 16:15

 

In order to arrive to the identity of The Holy Spirit of God, we need to know more about the The Father and then about The Son.

 

The God Identity

 

The Father

 

It is said that Label Christianity worships a three-headed god. Actually, as long as we do not know the Truth, we will not know what we worship and as long as we do not know The Truth, we will never know whom we worship. John 4:22, 1John 2:20 Truly, the affinity to idolatry is the main reason we have not arrived to the identity of The Spirit.

 

For this reason, let us keep a mental note on the following: no creation in Heaven is physical just as no creation on earth is spiritual. John 3:6-8 Although this is a generally accepted fact, let us nonetheless keep this in mind as we move forward.

 

When an angel was sent to encounter a human on earth, a transformation into some visible form was in need for the sake of the physical. But once he returned to Heaven, he returned as a spirit. The same applies to several manifestations of The Son of God that are recorded under the First Covenant. As for The Father, Scripture reminds us that no form of Him has ever been seen except through the manifestations of The Son. John 6:46, 7:28-29, 14:8-14

 

Due to the natural laws we live-by, it is difficult to grasp even a concept of the origin of The Father. One way to understand this concept is through the number line that we learned during our early years. We recall that in the middle of the number line there is a zero, then to the left of the zero we have negative numbers and to the right of the zero we have positive numbers; both stretching out towards infinity. This is all we know regarding the beginning of The Father. Job 36:26

 

The Son

 

Within the aforementioned number line, there have been many beginnings. One of the first was the creation of the spirit beings. Luke 20:36 The more notable beginning is the one recorded in the book of Genesis. Although there were other beginnings, the beginning of all beginnings is The Son of God. Colossians 1:15 Brothers, even this title implies the obvious. John 3:16, 10:36

 

The Son is also the beginning to many events: He is the first High Priest of the First Covenant, the first High Priest of the New, the first to life, the first to resurrect from the dead, and the first to everything that is meaningful to the Kingdom of God. Acts 26:23, Colossians 1:17 By giving meaning to everything, His birth gave meaning even to the Kingdom of God in view that, before The Son, The Father was neither a father nor a god to any one. Psalms 2:7, Revelation 3:2, 3:12

 

When a kingdom is established, continuity to such kingdom is also established. The same applies to The Kingdom of God except that in this Kingdom, The King or Prince cannot perish. For this reason, it became crucial, imperative, and all the superlatives of the like for The Eternal Son to carry the exact wishes of The Eternal Father. Essentially, The Son needed to be “Like His Father.”

 

Like The Father, The Gift of YHWH is Love given that love, in its absolute form, is the gift of oneself. John 4:10, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8, 2Timothy 1:6, John 3:16 Because The Father willed it, The Son is the invisible image of the invisible Father: Hebrews 1:3 “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express 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 8:1 Brothers, the key to this understanding is to think spiritual even though we remain physical in our thoughts. Even the physical rendering of the aforementioned passage blots our minds. This is why it is important to think spiritual as we hear from one of the many beginnings provided in detail by The Son of God:

 

Proverbs 8:22 “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.” During this magnificent event, The Son reveals the perfect relationship with His Father:

 

Although The Father and The Son are involved in everything, The Father gives credit to The Son for the works of the Heavens while The Son gives credit to The Father for the works on Earth. Colossians 1:16 This is how The Son glorifies The Father even as The Father subjects everything under the authority of The Son. John 17:1-5, 1Corinthians 15:27-28

 

This immutable relationship was established far beyond conceivable times and long before the first creations, where The Father speaks and The Word delivers it. John 12:49-50, 14:24, 14:31 We are given a human example of this spiritual relationship: Exodus 4:15 “And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.”

 

Because The Son does the Work of The Father, The Son comes in the hallowed name of YHWHISSALVATION. Isaiah 12:2, Psalms 118:25-26, Matthew 21:9, 23:39, John 12:28-30 Who is Salvation? YHWHISSALVATION. Who is God? John 8:58 Yes, God is One. John 6:45, Galatians 3:20, 1Timothy 2:5 This irrevocable relationship, much like Scripture, cannot be broken. Genesis 3:22, Deuteronomy 6:4, Psalms 2:12, Hebrews 1:6, John 10:30

 

A similar relationship is to be carried out between the children of God. John 17:22-23 We remember what took place between the apostles Peter and Paul. Even though they both upheld the Law through Faith, they appeared to have differences concerning the enforcement of the lower laws on the Gentiles. We know that Peter did not have any differences except that he allowed some of the Hebrew brothers to have these differences. Galatians 2:11-12 Nevertheless, they remained one because Peter’s healthy interest would not oppose Paul with any false teachings. In a similar way, we are to be of one Body, one Mind, and of one Spirit. 2Corinthians 13:11, Ephesians 4:4

 

Except for the prophets, The God relationship could not be made known until The Son revealed The Father when The Father revealed The Son. Galatians 1:15-16, Matthew 11:27 Now we know that all along, The Son is The Melchizedek of Old, the God who fought with Jacob, the God Moses saw on Mount Sinai, the God David calls his God, and even the God who, in the form of a man, shared a meal with the patriarch Abraham. Psalms 45:7, Hebrews 7:1-3, Genesis 18:2-3 We can see the evidence of this meeting between the patriarch Abraham
