Yahweh

Sounds like plasma to me.

Um, but it, it, it was interesting because I, I was taking pictures and I believe that I saw like, uh, Asherah, which is Yahweh's wife.

Uh, she's supposedly like a cloud goddess or something.

Um, and I had specifically requested that Yahweh join me.

Um, and I ended up being visited by all of those plus, um, Abraxas.

And I knew it was Abraxas because there were two serpents coming down out of the sky for the legs.

The Aaronic blessing in the book of Numbers, chapter 6, is not a blessing that comes from an impersonal being out there somewhere in the heavens.

This special blessing comes from a person, Yahweh God Almighty, our Creator and Maker.

So receive God's blessing into your life right now.

The Lord bless you and keep you.

The faithfulness of Obadiah.

Obadiah, the name Obadiah means servant of Yahweh.

That's what it means, servant of Yahweh.

This indicates his character.

He was a servant of God.

He was a servant of Jehovah.

He was a servant of Yahweh.

And so this, again, shows the character, his obedience to God.

This was years before I entered the Torah.

And I appreciate what you said, that Yahweh, I don't know who knows where it's coming from, but at the end of the day, it's literally coming.

I mean, he's allowing it, right? So I still praise him for that, even though I didn't know the real Elohim back then.

Is that?

Okay.

So I know in Numbers chapter 27...

Verse 18, And Yahweh said to Moshe, Take Yehoshua, son of Nun, with you and a man in whom is the Spirit, and you shall lay your hand on him, and you shall set him before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and give him command before their eyes.

And you said before Eleazar could mean like in front of or before, right? Right.

And they weren't chastised for idolatry for that.

It's about idolatry as you're actually worshipping it as a false god who's going to give you answers and prosperity and salvation instead of Yahweh.

Yahweh doesn't despise artwork.

Yeah, this is what we were talking about with Solomon's staff, Moses' staff that he raised up with the serpent.

It was kept until the time of Josiah, but then people started worshiping it.

Now they're slaves to righteousness.

which righteousness is doing the instructions of God with sincerity.

Sincerity in your walk is having a circumcised heart to Yahweh.

The second root of kardos could be seen as different from, but is better seen as a consequence of the first root.

Because Yahweh is separate, distinct, other, belonging to a unique realm and a distinct sphere, because of that he is unapproachable brightness.

1 Timothy 6, verse 16.

Light, 1 John 1, 5.

They saw the mountain in smoke.

Again, the fire stands for the presence of the holy God and the smoke for the gracious veiling of that holiness when he comes amongst humans.

Just after the manifestation of his holiness at the burning bush, God reveals his most personal and intimate name for the first time, Yahweh.

In the events between the bush and the mountain, he demonstrates that name, who he is in judgment and in salvation.

That is either megalomania or a divine prerogative claim.

Because in Deuteronomy 32 and 1 Samuel 2, the one who raises the dead is Yahweh.

If Jesus raises his own nows, he is doing what only God does.

And then there is the other verb, lysate, destroy.

The Ark, the sacred fire, the Shekinah, the Holy Spirit, and the Urim and Thummim.

The leaders defending this temple in verse 20 are defending a magnificent structure whose innermost room has been an empty chamber for 600 years in Ezekiel.

Ezekiel saw the glory of Yahweh depart from the temple in stages.

from the inner sanctuary to the threshold from the threshold to the east gate from the east gate out of the city entirely chapters 10 and 11 and the glory never comes back not in ezekiel not in ezra not in nehemiah haggai promises the latter glory of the house will be greater than the former but no narrative ever describes the kabod filling the second temple the way it filled the first So where did the glory go? John 2.19 is the answer.

Its rising is from the end of the heavens and its circuit to the end of them, and nothing is hid from its heat.

the law of Yahweh is perfect reviving the soul the decrees of Yahweh are sure making wise the simple the precepts of Yahweh are right rejoicing the heart the commandment of Yahweh is clear enlightening the eyes the fear of Yahweh is pure enduring forever the ordinances of Yahweh are true and righteous altogether More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

Moreover, by them is your servant warned, in keeping them there is great reward.

But who can detect one's own errors? Clear me from hidden faults.

Then I shall be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you.

Oh Yahweh, my rock and my redeemer.

And then in Luke 19, Luke tells us a story about Jesus coming to Jerusalem.

The Lord is a mighty warrior.

Yahweh is his name.

The chariots of Pharaoh and his army has he hurled into the sea.

The finest of those who bear armor have been drowned in the Red Sea.
