What & Who is Yahuah?

1 What & Who is Yahuah? To the carnal mind, the GODHEAD as many know it as, however this is an incorrect terminology is complex & baffling; but actually it is so very simple. Understanding the so called GODHEAD is so vital to a True Revelation of the Word of Yahuah and this understanding can only come by the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) revealing it to you. In fact, it is so important, that one of the first things Yahuah did with Yasharal (Israel) is establishing that fact that He is ONE (ACHAD) (Deuteronomy. 6:4). All through the First Covenant Aluah repeatedly says that He is one (Deuteronomy 32:39, Psalms 89:18, Isaiah 43:3-15, Isaiah 47:4, Zechariah 14:9 & Malachi 2:10). Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no aluhym with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand. Psalms 89:18 For Yahuah is our defense; and the Qadash (Set Apart)-One of Yasharal (Yasharal) is our King. Isaiah 43: For I am Yahuah your Aluah, the Set Apart One of Yasharal (Israel), your Saviour; I gave Mytsraym for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4 Since you were precious in My sight, You have been honoured, And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And people for your life. 5 Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west; 6 I will say to the north, Give them up! And to the south, Do not keep them back! Bring My sons from afar, And My daughters from the ends of the earth 7 Everyone who is called by My Name, Whom I have created for My Esteem; I have formed him, yes, I have made him. 8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. 9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; Or let them hear and say, It is truth. 1

2 10 You are My witnesses, says Yahuah, And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no Al formed, Nor shall there be after Me. 11 I, even I, am Yahuah, and besides Me there is no Saviour. 12 I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, and there was no foreign aluhym among you; therefore you are My witnesses, Says the Yahuah, that I am Aluah. 13 Indeed before the day was, I am He; And there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it? 14 Thus says Yahuah, your Redeemer, the Set Apart One of Yasharal (Israel): For your sake I will send to Babylon, and bring them all down as fugitives The Chaldeans, who rejoice in their ships. 15 I am Yahuah, your Set Apart One, The Creator of Yasharal (Israel), your King. Isaiah 44:6 & 8 & 24 6 This says Yahuah the King of Yasharal, and His Redeemer Yahuah of Hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no Aluah. 8 Fear not, neither be afraid: have not I told you from that time, and have declared it? You are even my witnesses. Is there an Aluah beside Me? Yes, there is no Rock beside me; I know not of anyone. 24 This says Yahuah, your Redeemer, and He that formed you from the womb, I am Yahuah that makes all things; that stretches forth the heavens alone; that spreads abroad the earth by Myself; Isaiah 45:5-7 5 I am Yahuah, and there is none else, there is no Aluah beside Me: I dressed you, though you have not known me: 6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am Yahuah, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make shalum, and create evil: I Yahuah do all these things. Yashayahu 46:8-9 8 Remember this, and show yourselves to be men: bring it again to mind, O you transgressors. 9 Remember the former things of old: for I am Al, and there is none else; I am Aluah, and there is none like me, 2

3 Yashayahu 47:4 4 As for our Redeemer, Yahuah of Hosts is His Name, the Qadash-One of Yasharal. Zechariah 14:9 And Yahuah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall there be Yahuah Achad (One), and His Name Achad (One). Malachi 2:10 Have we not all one Abba? Has not one Al created us? Why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the bryt (covenant) of our fathers? Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider it in your heart, that Yahuah He is Aluah in the heavens above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else. Deuteronomy 6:4 Shama (hear/listen/obey) Yasharal (Israel): Yahuah is our Aluah Yahuah is Achad (One). This is how many believe the Creator & His Son this is an incorrect Doctrinal teaching known as the Twinity. Ignorance is not bliss The Renewed Covenant writers constantly demanded us to know and be sure of what we believe. Shaul s probing "Do you not know?" occurs frequently in his letters to the Yasharalyt Congregations. The false doctrines in the days of Yahusha were the result of the people's ignorance of the Scriptures together with the practice of "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" Matthew 15:9. 3

4 How great then is the ignorance of Christians and many Messianic and Nazarene Yasharalyt believers today? Simply consider this rebuke of our Mashyach - "You worship you know not what" (John.4:22). Do you know what you worship? Or do you merely follow the traditions of your church or synagogue? Is your Aluah the Aluah of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Many people who believe in the trinity are not willing to discuss what they believe; and when they are pressured to give Scriptural proof that their teaching is Scriptural Truth, they say that "we shouldn't debate or argue over Yahuah's Word". We are instructed by Jude (verse.3) to contend (fight for) the faith that was given to the people of Yasharal; and Kapha (Apostle Peter) in 1st Peter 3:15 told us to always be ready to answer anyone who asks us why we believe what we do. Brothers and Sisters, if what you believe is not worth fighting for, it is not of Yahuah; and if it's not Yahuah's Truth, please don't preach or teach it. Some Trinitarians when they are cornered with Yahuah's Infallible Word will say that we assume it to be true Yahusha warns of this in Matthew 15:9. Many Christians believe in the Trinity also known as the Tri-Unity as pictured above. Just less than 300 years after the Ascension of Mashyach, Christianity became an organized religion and the light of the One True Aluah was soon darkened by theologians who preached and taught the creeds and dogmas of their organizations and the traditions of men rather than the Word of Yahuah. 4

5 As a result, there are now many different interpretations on the doctrine of the so called godhead. Wide majorities believe that Aluah is a triune being or a trinity of persons, while some believe that He exists as two persons also known as the Twinity. And there are others who believe that He is one (Monotheism) but deny the deity of Yahusha Ha Mashyach. This is called monotheism which claim that there is ONLY ONE supreme AL and that He cannot, dwell or manifest in any other way or form. Monotheism is what many Jews and Muslims and some branches of Christianity believe and teach. The problem with Monotheism is that it is not a scriptural teaching of Yahuah, and thus excludes the Saviour Yahusha Ha Mashyach from being Yahuah our Saviour. In other words Monotheism limits Yahuah s ability to move and manifest Himself in whatever way He so desires. It is like having Aluah in One spot and that is it, whereas Yahuah is everywhere present therefore cannot and should not be referred to as a Monotheistic AL. The believers of the Scriptural times never speculated about Yahuah they knew what and who Yahuah was that He was a Plurality of Divinity (Not persons). The later believers began to lose sight of the Word of Yahuah and forsook its foundation when they drifted away from the guidance of the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit). Then the human thoughts prevailed, and wild speculations about Yahuah became rampant. The majority of the Yahudym (The Tribe of Judah), during and after the first hundred years of the gospel, held strictly to their Monotheistic faith, but they failed to see that Yahusha was their Aluah manifested in flesh to be their Mashyach, they continued to reject the scriptural teaching of Yahuah Achad or that Yahuah is and will always be a Plurality of Divinity (Not persons). Organized Christianity was no better in their belief. They have turned the Monotheistic faith of the Jews into a Polytheistic one. Definitions for polytheistic: Worshipping or believing in more than one god wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn - Definition in context their theologians have taken the Aluah of Abraham and chopped Him into three pieces, and then tried to Christianize his descendants by offering them the second piece. 5

6 They are still doing so today along with teaching false doctrines such as We are no longer under Turah Worship on Sunday instead of the Shabbat (Modern Saturday) the list will go on if we really elaborate on it. The GODHEAD is not composed of an old grey hair, bearded man as God the Father, a young boy as God the Son and a little ball of light or dove as God the Holy Spirit. In fact the terminology GODHEAD is incorrect as when one learns of GODHEAD it is always that there are 1, 2 or 3 Persons in the so called GODHEAD. Yahuah chose to manifest Himself to mankind in three primary offices or manifestations, just as one man can be a son, brother, uncle and cousin without being four different and distinct people. Yahuah is: Eternal, Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. Yahuah is Father, Son and Ruach HaQadash, not three persons of Yahuah but three manifestations of Yahuah. Yahuah is Abba/Father in creation. Yahuah created all things from nothing. He spoke and it happened (Genesis 1:1, Job 38:4-7, Isaiah 42: & Isaiah 40:28). Nothing is eternal except Yahuah, the Supreme One, and the All-sufficient One. He is "the high and lofty One that inhabited eternity, whose Name is Set Apart" (Isaiah 57:15; Hebrews 9:14). This "High and Lofty One" is YAHUAH the Eternal ALUAH. Though Yahuah appears in the plural form it does not denote a plurality of Persons but rather His Supreme Majesty and Greatness, for in Himself are various attributes being revealed - Fatherhood, Creator, Sustainer, Healer, Saviour, Yahuah is Achad meaning He is, and always will be, a plurality in divinity. Meaning Yahuah can be Yahuah the Father and Yahuah the Son at the same time and move and operate as two divine manifestations (Not persons) A perfect example is that of Yahuah manifesting Himself as Cloudy Pillar by Day and a Fiery Pillar by night and was able to also speak to Mashah (Moses) face to face. We have three manifestations of the ONE ALUAH: 1) Seen Face to Face (This is Yahusha who is the Image of Yahuah as No one can see the Father and live) 2) Cloudy Pillar by day 3) Fiery Pillar by night 6

7 Numbers 14:14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that You art among this people, that You are seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. So we can clearly see that Yahuah has manifested Himself in three ways, but not three persons, and not as the Father whom can never be seen by any man. Exodus 33: And Mashah (Moses) said, I beg you; show me Your Esteem. 19 And He said, I will make all My good to pass before you, and I will proclaim the Name of Yahuah before you; And will show unmerited favour to whom I will, and will show mercy to whom I will. 20 And He said you cannot see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And Yahuah said, See, there is a place by me, and you shall stand upon a rock: 22 And it shall come to pass, while My Esteem passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by: 23 And I will take away my hand, and you shall see My back: But My face shall not be seen. The manifest part of Yahuah, who proclaims the Name of Yahuah, is Yahusha, as He did on earth in John chapter 17. Now Aluah relates to His Deity - Divine Majesty. In connection with ALUAH the word YAHUAH is being used. YAHUAH means "The Self-sufficient One" or "The Eternal within Himself Existing One". The Hebrew is Ahayah Ashar Ahayah has usually been translated "I am that I am," but the literal Hebrew meaning is I will become, I will be, I am becoming, I was and I am Yahuah relates Himself to man, whom He had created from the dust of the earth, and was the visible appearance of Aluah in and through a His WORD-body. It is Aluah Who made Himself known as YAHUAH. Yahuah is the Name in the Scriptures when Aluah set forth to deliver the children of Yasharal (Exodus 6-13) according to the promise He had given to Abraham (Genesis15:13-16). Read also Numbers 6:

8 In the Renewed Covenant, when YAHUAH came to manifest Himself in the flesh, He took the Name YAHUSHA.; Yahusha is made up of two Hebrew words, Yahu + Yasha or Yahusha and it means Yahuah is Deliverance or Yahuah delivers. Yahuah is the Son in redemption. Yahuah Himself says that He is the only Saviour (Isaiah 43:10-11 & Isaiah 45:15). 10 You are my witnesses, says Yahuah, and My servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He: before Me there was no Al formed, neither shall there be after Me. Isaiah 43:10 makes it abundantly clear that there was no Al, or deity brought forth before, or after Father Yahuah. The creating of a Yahusha would contradict this simple declaration. If that is true (and it is), that must mean that Yahusha always was in Father Yahuah, since He could not be created after Yahuah. The Hebrew here as always sheds great light. Atem adai neum Yahuah Be Abdi asher bacaharti. In Hebrew this means there are actually two witnesses who testify that Yahuah is one, and that He has not formed a different Al before, or after Him, thus ending the myth that Yahusha the Mashyach is some sort of a created being like Michael the Arch Messenger, which would mean Yahuah formed Yahusha after Yahuah already was, which would be a violation of this text. What Yahuah is simply saying in this verse is the exciting reality that there are two witnesses to His "one compound unity" status. They are His eternal bride, the people of Yasharal, and His chosen Suffering Servant Lamb, the Mashyach Yahusha. Both testify to the fact that He is and always will be one (Mark 12:29). 11 I, even I, am Yahuah; and beside Me there is no Saviour. In many places such as here in the First Covenant, the double repetitive first person I, I, or I even I, or in Hebrew Anky, Anky appears as here in Isaiah 43:11, proving once again that Yahusha is not an afterthought. And neither was He formed after Yahuah, but is Yahuah I -spoken of in this verse, as Yasharal s Saviour. I and I, or I even I, or I and also I, is/are the Saviour. Both the Father and His Son are both called Mashyach/Saviour not Saviours. If only Father Yahuah is Saviour, then the term should read Any not Any, Any. He is and always will be one, a true compound unity (Mark 12:29). 8

9 Since Aluah is a Ruach (Numbers 23:19 & John 4:24), He cannot die. So Yahuah created Himself a fleshly yet sin-less body (Yahusha). Isaiah 9:6 tells us that a child would be born & Isaiah 7:14 says that this child would be Amanual, not some unknown 2nd person; but Yahuah Himself, the Everlasting Father of creation & giver of life. Yahusha is the Son of Yahuah according to the flesh meaning He is Yahuah in every aspect including His flesh which was not common human flesh but Heavenly Flesh & fully Yahuah even in His Spirit. Please see Whole Wheat Unleavened Bread series for more understanding. When Yahusha was born He was the Son of Yahuah because Yahuah was His Father and when He was immersed and the Ruach HaQadash descended upon Him (Matthew 3:16-17) then He truly was "AL with us", Yahuah the Eternal Aluhym manifested in the flesh. His Name (Yahusha) means "Yahuah is Salvation so in other words Yahusha is Yahuah our Saviour. The event at His immersion fulfilled the prophecy of Malachi 3:1. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: (Yahuah in the manifestation of Yahusha.) and the Master, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His Temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: see, He shall come, says Yahuah of Hosts. As stated earlier, Aluah is spirit; and being a spirit, He has no blood. Now if He has no blood how could the statement in Acts 20:28 be true? Well, that is why He had to have a physical body made by Yahuah for Yahuah without any human input His blood was perfect because it had NO HUMAN BLOOD. 28 Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Ruach HaQadash has made you overseers, to feed the congregation of Yasharal in Yahuah, which He has purchased with His own blood. This is why it is so important that we know and understand the Flesh and Blood of Yahusha, as we have learnt from the Whole Wheat Unleavened Bread Teachings that Yahusha is One Million percent Yahuah in every way and Zero percent Human. His blood was perfect blood; it was not human blood, for all human blood after Adam was contaminated and tainted with sin. So there again is a problem with the trinity theory, if Yahusha is a separate, distinct, coequal person from Yahuah the Father, then Yasharal was not purchased by Yahuah's blood; but purchased only by the blood of a human being thus nullifying the atoning sacrifice of Yahusha as all (Human Flesh) have sinned and come short of Yahuah s esteem Romans 3:23 & Romans 5:12. 9

10 Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the esteem of Yahuah. Romans 5:12 Therefore, as by one man sin entered into the World and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned: But if Yahuah was manifested in the flesh by the physical body of Yahusha then the scriptures are exactly right. This is why the Scriptures tells us in Colossians 1:19 that it pleased Father Yahuah that all His fullness dwelled in Yahusha & again in Colossians 2:9 that in Yahusha dwelleth all the fullness of Aluah in bodily form. Colossians 1:19 For it pleased Abba that in Him should all fullness dwell; Colossians 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of Aluah) in bodily form. Yahuah Himself said at the immersion of Mashyach Yahusha that IN HIM (Yahusha) He was well pleased; and also at the transfiguration Yahuah again said that IN Yahusha He was well pleased (Matthew 17:4-6). Matthew 17:4-6 4 Then Kapha (Peter) answered and said to Yahusha, Master it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Mashah (Moses), and one for Alyahu (Elijah). 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him! 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. THE WORD THE WORD was Yahusha; Yahusha was THE WORD of Yahuah made flesh before the World was. Yahusha was in the bosom of Abba Yahuah in the beginning; THE WORD (that was to be made manifest as THE SON) And THE WORD was brought forth from Yahuah to express ITSELF. THE WORD had a beginning but since IT came forth from the Eternal Spirit, THE WORD was and is eternal (because THE WORD was Yahuah); THE WORD was the Full Pre-figuration of Mashyach who came forth from the BOSSOM of the Father to express Deity, the Eternal Aluah. In the beginning, Yahuah comprised of the Invisible Almighty Spirit and His Visible Word Body (Greek: LOGOS). 10

11 The beloved Apostle John had an undeniably clear revelation of the WORD (LOGOS) of life that he wrote thus: John 1:1-2 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Aluah, and the Word was Aluah. 2 He was in the beginning with Aluah. Notice that he called the WORD "life" and "eternal life" that was with the FATHER in the beginning, sort of rephrasing the statement he used in the prologue and the Word was Yahuah". (John 1:1) of his gospel - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Yahuah, He said that this WORD was manifested to the saints who had heard IT, seen IT, looked upon IT and even handled IT. THE ETERNAL WORD is none other than YAHUAH taking form in the manifestation of His WORD Yahusha. And the WORD of eternal life was later manifested in the Son of Yahuah, Yahusha Ha Mashyach. Hence, THE SPIRIT OF YAHUAH (THE FATHER) and THE WORD (YAHUSHA) are not two persons but ONE and the same. The Spirit of Yahuah. The Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) is that SPIRIT of the Father that dwelt in Mashyach. And since Yahusha and Yahuah are ONE AND THE SAME, it is also called the Spirit of Yahusha Ha Mashyach (Philippians 1:19) as well as the Spirit of His Son (Galatians 4:6). Notice these words of Yahusha: "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." John 14: By "another Comforter (or Helper)" Yahusha is not referring to another Aluah but rather to another (or different form of) ministration of Yahuah as the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit). Clearly, Yahusha was speaking of Himself coming in the form of the Spirit when He said, "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." The disciples knew Him because He dwelt with them. 11

12 And, as promised, Yahusha came to them - in the form of the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) on the Day of Shabauth! John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Ruach HaQadash, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things". Yahusha (THE WORD) came from the Father (THE ETERNAL SPIRIT) and had to return to the Father after His atonement (John.16:28). But He promised, "I will not leave you comfortless (Greek: orphanos - parentless, fatherless) I WILL COME to you". On the Day of Shabauth, He emanated from that same Great Fountain of Life again to dwell with His Israelite disciples and in every member as the Spirit of the FATHER (Galatians 4:6; Revelation 21:7). He could not do this while He was on earth as a PERSON born into this world, but He could do it now in the SPIRIT form (John.14:16-20). Thus, the Person of Yahusha, in the form of the Ruach HaQadash of Yahuah, is abiding in His Word-believing saints."in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Ruach HaQadash of promise" (Ephesians 1:13). These words of the Shaul (Apostle Paul) point clearly to the Ruach HaQadash dwelling in us: "Mashyach in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27; Romans 8:9, 11). Yes, we are made rich through the poverty of Mashyach: "For ye brethren, know the grace of our Master Yahusha Ha Mashyach. How that though He were rich, yet for our sakes He became poor that we through His poverty might be made rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9; Ephesians 2:13-16). Yahuah is the Ruach HaQadash This is evident as the Virgin Mary was found with child of the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) (Matthew 1:18) and as Yahusha said "Aluah is a Spirit" (John 4:24). The word "Ruach" means "breath" or "wind. Yahusha said, the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. (John 3:8) To be born of the Spirit is to be filled with the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) this means that your old nature has been replaced with Yahuah's own life and character. While physical signs have accompanied the Ruach HaQadash at times (like a dove at Yahusha's baptism and 120 flames of fire at Shabauth) the fruit of the Spirit proclaims His presence, just as miracles proclaim the power of the Father. 12

13 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. If the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) is not the Spirit of Yahuah the Father Who Indwelled in the Son; but another (the Third) Person in the Godhead, consider this statement: "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son, Yahusha Ha Mashyach" (1 John.1:3). Why did the Apostle John exclude the Ruach HaQadash (Set Apart Spirit) in fellowship? Hence, abiding in the saints of Yahuah are not two or three Divine Persons. The pronouns "we" and "our" in the Renewed Covenant, as in John 14:23, speak of the difference between what Yahuah is as the Almighty and what He is as the Saviour in Yahusha (Achad or a Plurality of Divinity and Not Persons). In John 12:45 we see the operation of two offices (Or Two Powers) of One Aluah- "And he that seeth me seeth Him that sent Me." Remember that in Yahusha Ha Mashyach - the Spirit of the Father which is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, and the Spirit of the Son which is humility, obedience, priestliness, prayerfulness and submission. These are but ONE/ACHAD SPIRIT (Ephesians4:4; John.4:24). Conclusion In conclusion and summarizing this teaching the following points should be noted: Yahusha is the Living Torah (WORD); Yahusha is Yahuah; Yahusha is the Creator and not a creation; Yahuah is Yahusha who became flesh; Yahusha was brought forth from the bosom of Father Yahuah long before He was begotten ; Yahusha pre-existed with the Father Yahuah in the Father s bosom; Yahuah the Old Covenant Aluah is our Mashyach Yahusha. WOW!! Yahusha is the Father Yahusha is the Son 13

14 Yahusha is the Set Apart Spirit Yahusha was never meant to be literally the only begotten Son of Yahuah the phrase is a metaphor because Yahusha had always pre-existed prior to His first advent into the earth. Yahuah is One 14
