Monotheistic Elohim (Updated)

שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, יְהוָה אֶחָד
Sh'ma Yis'ra'eil Adonai Eloheinu (our Eloah) Adonai echad.
Deut.6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:"
(Hear O Israel: I AM your G-D, I AM one.)
(Christ quoted the shama in Mk.12:29)
This first verse of the Shema relates to the kingship of G-d. The first verse, "Hear, O Israel: the LORD our G-d is one LORD," has ever been regarded as the confession of belief in the One G-d. Due to the ambiguities of the Hebrew language, there are multiple ways of translating the Shema:

"Hear, O Israel! Adonai is our God! Adonai is One!" &,
"Hear, O Israel! Adonai is our God – Adonai alone."
Modern Kabbalistic schools, namely that of the Ari, teach that when one recites the last letter of the word "'ecḥad'" (אחד), meaning "one", he is to intend that he is ready to "die into God"./ I personally see the (Christian) concept of dying of self and being born again in this relation! (Jn.3:3,6,7,8)
................. SEMANTICS ........................











Sh'ma — listen, or hear and do (according to the Targumaccept)
*Yisrael — Israel, in the sense of the people or congregation of Israel
**Adonai — often translated as "LORD", it is read in place of YHVH; Samaritans say Shema, which is Aramaic for "the [Divine] Name" and is the exact equivalent of the Hebrew "ha-Shem", which Rabbinic Jews substitute for "Adonai" in a non-liturgical context such as everyday speech.
**Eloheinu — the plural 1st person possessive of אֱלֹהִים Elohim, meaning “our God” (Our Elohim).
*Adonai- ''
Echad — the unified and cardinal number one אֶחָד
  In this verse there are two Bold Hebrew letters (ayin & daleth) That when put together ("עד" / "ed") means Witness! Israel was chosen to be a light unto the nations. To show what it is to have a Relationship with The Almighty G-D (good or bad/ life or death/ blessings or curses). To be a set apart people (One/echad with the LORD). Israel as a nation was called a Begotten(Yalad-brought forth) Son (Ben- One who carries the name & character) of G-D. The LORD is One in all his attributes, offices, actions.


H#259(258)
Notice the word translated to "One" is Echad! The Hebrew could have allowed for solitary "yachid" (H#3173 (3161)/ (or "bad" (H#905)) to say a numeric "one", instead the Unified one/ "echad" was used! When there are two or more relating terms echad is to mention a unified One. *Israel, **Adonai, **Eloheinu, are the relating terms (The First Adonai with Eloheinu being the Primary relation) which cause echad to be used and make it a unified One (and even shama stresses this fact as well as the emboldened "ed" which is the action of the unity!). Example Gen.2:24. When there is a singular subject echad is to be seen as a numerical one. Examples: Deut.17:6/ Ecc.4:9/. (The Plural form of echad which is Achadim (Achad with suffix im) /Gen.11:1;27:44;29:20Dan.11:20Eze.37:17 (la achadim) When echad modifies a plural noun then echad is a compound word. When it modifies a singular noun,then echad is not a compound word.) The word echad (one) modifies the relation between Adonai (Lord/ singular) and Eloheinu (God/ Plural), thus an absolute one in the details of Devine judgement = the singular One Almighty....  Note: The Greek (#67) "henἓν is unified as is echad thus used just like echad is in the Tanach Mk.12:29 (Deut.6:4) Matt.19:5 (Gen.2:24) 
....................................................................................
So What does this tell us? It tells us that Israel and G-D are to be one in carrying out divine authority and judgement in this world
 This layout isnt designed to merely claim G-D is one it will show How G-D Is One and how this relates to The Holy Spirit (The Ruach haKodesh), The Christ/Word (Mashiach), Angels of G-D, Prophets, Elders, Basically how it relates to Everyone who is in (and out of) covenant. (Much of the content of this study may not come to you the first time through)

................... G-D is SPIRIT......................................
What is the essence of the sacrid name? What was the Message given to Moses when he asked who shall I say sent me? (Ex.3:13,14). אהיה אשר אהיה ("I AM HE WHO IS", or "I AM WHO I AM")
Ehyeh (Hayah) asher ehyeh / #1961/ #834/ which is to say: I Am That I Am and could also be translated: I will be(come) what I will be(come)/ I will be who I will be/ I will be which I will be/ and or/ I will be where I will be/ I AM all and all unto you, the self sufficient self sustaining one (Ex.3:15/Ex.7:16Rev.1:8)
Apart from the sacrid name, we have many biblical titles translated to G-D, G-d and or g-d throughout the bible. None of these titles relate to humanity or the physical (The physical body is the temple). They are all relative to A Spiritual Divinity. Hebrew Examples: El, Eloah, (aramaic) Elah, Elohim, Elyon,.. (Theos in the Greek)... (Elah like the arabic Allah doesnt show direct attributes its basically to say "The G-D" thus if an arab had a singular idol that he saw as "The G-D" he could/would call that idol "Allah" as has been shown in history). I will only be stressing a few of these Titles in this study but for more on each one I suggest Appendix #4 of the KJV Companion Bible or a Stong's exhaustive Concordance. Each showing Authority in the SPIRIT and each showing a spacific relation (attribute). The same goes with the words for LORD, Lord and lord. I can only ask anyone going through this that you have spiritual eyes and ears if it be G-D's will for you in this otherwise you will not grasp this subject.
So we now need to understand "Spirit"! Yes?
Lets biblically define & describe both "Spirit" and "Soul" shall we? 


.... What Is Spirit? .....
>Spirit is the breath of life (Its incorruptible yet is mortal lest it puts on Immortality/ More on this in the study "Where are the dead")
HEBREW: Neshama (H#5397)Ruwach (H#7307)
Note: Both Neshama & Ruach are described as being this breath (Gen.7:22Job.27:3). Both these terms are translated as Spirit sometimes just Neshama, sometimes Just Ruach & sometimes BOTH are translated together into the single term "spirit".
 GREEK- pneuma (G#4151)/ Both the Hebrew and Greek terms by etymology mention Breath.
"Spirit" is liked unto the wind in the Word. One such example can be seen in Jn.3:8!
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."
You can't physically see the wind. You can only see the effects of the wind. The same is with the spirit. You can't physically see that which is spirit but you can physically see the fruits of the spirit (Gal.522-26).
For the Spirit to interact with the physical in a Physical way a vehicle is used. We as men use (the vehicle that is) the flesh for our spirit to interact with the physical in a physical way.
What else do we consider "unseen" (other than by its fruits) yet exists? 
These things are Spiritual: Faith (Heb.11:1,3,7)/ Love/ Hate/ Ideologies/ Intellect....  (both negative and postives given)!
What is "Soul"?
The Hebrew term is "Nephesh". Nephesh - Any living breathing thing & the whole of the entity

Now lets see if we have it! Lets see it applied from the beginning!
Gen.2:7 "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (neshama) ; and man became a living soul (nephesh)." (Job 33:4)/ (Also relate to Yeshua haMashiach Gen.1:26,27/ 1 Cor.15:47/ 1 Cor.6:19/ Jn.2:19) 1 Cor.15 is my favorite chapter on the subject of spirit & soul for good reason. (man consists of flesh a spirit  Gen.2:7/ Job.33:4/ 1 Cor.15:35-58/ 2 Cor.5:7-10/ Ecc.12:6-7/ Jn.3:6/..)
...........................................................................

The Big Picture in relation to man & spirit
Okay, now we can easily substitute nephesh with "body" to make things more simple. (1 Cor.15:35-40/ note the "NT" terms are related back to the Greek but its obvious what Hebrew applies) Our Spirit comes forth from the everlasting Father. The individual portion that is our personal spirits were alive before ever entering the flesh (dust) and were One with YHVH (El Shaddai/ G-D Almighty) but when G-D breathed the portion of the breath of life (Neshama ruach) that is the spirit OF man into the dust THEN "MAN" became a "soul" (Nephesh- a living breathing thing and the whole of the entity). We are told at physical death that the spirit departs from the flesh (taking with it that which is self /the breath/spirit- love, faith, intelect, conscience,..) Thus now the spirit IS nephesh (a living breathing thing and the whole of the entity!) and that "body" which is in the physical grave goes to "sleep". We wont have need of it again (1 Cor.15:50). Yet our Spirit awakens to the spirit realm. (At the 7th trump ALL take part of this change). The flesh is corruptible the spirit is incorruptible (doesnt age, doesnt physically get injured, sick,..) but the spirit has need of putting on immortality! (To partake of the tree of Life/ The Word/ Yeshua (Jesus)/ Atonement) Again This subject is covered in the study "Where Are The Dead" Lets get back to the subject of Monotheism! Shall we?

Eze.36:27 And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. Deut.6:4-5/ Heb.10:16 (Jer.31:33-34)/ Phil. 2:5-16/ 1 Cor. 15:44/ 1 Cor.3:16/ 2 Cor.3:17/ Ez.18:4/ 1 Cor.6:19/ Matt.28:19/ Jn.10:30/ 2 Cor.13:14/ Jn.5:18/ Matt.3:16-17/ Lk.1:35/ Heb.9:14/ (Is.7:14/ Mk.1:10-11/ Lk.3:22/ Matt.1:23)/ Jn.1:32/ Acts.7:55/ Rom.8:11/ Rom.8:14-17/ Rom.8:26-27/ Jn.8:14-18/ Acts 10:38/ Jn.14:6-7/ Jn.14:16-21,26/ 2 Chron.9:6/ Mk.16:16/ Jn.6:33-35/ Rom.12:4-5/ 


 Jn.4:24 * - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worshiphim in spirit and in truth.

Num.23:19/ *Ps.118:8/ Hosea 11:9/ Lk.24:39 (1 Cor.15:50)/ Col.2:9/ (Matt.23:9)/ (Is.43:10-11)/ not a "man".
..................................................................
אֱלהִים  Elohim (H#430)  is a Plural (which can be used in a singular context of the supreme G-D) form of El ("God") and or Eloah and simply means (that which is seen as) Divine Judgement & authority / pluralis majestatis in Latin (translated as G-d, G-d's, g-d, g-d's, judges, rulers, angels...) Throughout the Word, Elohim is to mention one (echad) divine essence/will being carried out . This includes all instruments of divine judgement and authority. This obviously relates to The Almighty as well as instruments of G-D Almighty in the Holy Spirit (The Ruach Hakodesh). This includes Angels, anointed ones (Yeshua HaMashiach"Jesus the Christ")Prophets, Priests of Israel, Apostels, kings,... and basically all that are led of the Spirit to do G-D's will (bene ha Elohim)(This is commonly understood among Jews: Maimonides said: "I must premise that every Hebrew knows that the term Elohim is a homonym, and denotes God, angels, judges, and kings, ... Compare Ex.22:8-9 /"judges"- Elohim- to Deut.17:9) "Theos" (#2316) is basically the Greek equivalent to the Hebrew Elohim./ Elohim is also a title used to describe idols because idolaters see their idols as instruments of divine authority and judgement as sad as that is.
......................................................................

 Moses (Moshe) was called Elohim in Ex.7:1 (Ex.4:14-17) Afterwards him being declared an instrument (vessel) of divine authority and judgement (Elohim) the Word says members of Israel began to murmur against Moses and Aaron (Ex.16:2) yet Later (Ex.16:7-8) we are told they don't murmur Moses &Aaron, they murmur against the LORD. Why? Cause of the fact that Moses was made an Elohim (instrument of divine authority and judgement) thus they were murmuring against the Most High. This shows Moses and Aaron were one with Y.H.V.H..

Both in the "OT" (Tanakh/ Ps.82:6) & in the "NT" (Brit Chadasha/ Jn.10:34) it says "Ye are G-d's " /Elohim (Theos). In The "NT" its Christ quoting the Tanakh! We are called to be members of divine authority and judgement Especially Israel. THis has NOTHING to do with flesh (This is strictly in relation to a spiritual position of authority .)

Thomas said of Yeshua (Yahushua/ Jesus) "My Lord and my G-d" (Jn.20:28). In Hebrew THis would be to say My Adon (Lord as IN the earth, In Relations to Creation) and My Elohim (again one of greater authority and judgement.) 

ORDER OF AUTHORITY
In the "NT" the order of Authority is laid out like this: 
1) Y.H.V.H. (The Father) 
2) The Messiah (Yeshua/ "Jesus")/ (Adon- Lord as IN the earth/ In relation to creation)
3) Man 
4) Woman (1 Cor.11:3/ Eph.5:23/ 1 Cor.3:5-11). This was understood by "OT" prophets as well...

David was king over Israel yet he acknowledge one over him in relation To G-d! Ps.110:1 "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool". Here "The LORD"- YHVH/ Adonai/ HaShem (Jews use substitution for the sacred name in most sources)  & "my Lord" is Adon- again meaning The Lord as in direct relation with creation or IN the earth (Obviously Mashiach/ King of kings Lord of lords).
Matthew 22:41-46 (kjv) " While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.


To Understand Messiah you must have spiritual eyes and ears! (Rom.1:3-5/ Jn.3:3,6,8,12)
This is where many struggle, They can't see past the flesh of Yeshua to understand His Anointing (Spiritual position of being Messiah (anointed)!). When we speak of Yahshua we mention him in one of two ways. 1)Physical "son of man"- relates to his flesh, his humanity, his body being the temple of Yah. 2)Spiritual "son of G-D"- relates directly to his spiritual anointing (postion as Messiah). Thus the carnal minded critic hasn't been given Spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear and they often will compound these two (phy./and Spiritual) out of ignorance and say things like "So G-d (Elohim) has a mother", "So G-d (Theos) goes to the bathroom", "So G-d (Elohim) has need of food and water". Often times its muslims that make these ignorant statements when its their quran that tells them they are Limited to understanding (Ignorant) spirit in the first place (Surah 17.85). This is also one reason some "Jews" seeked to kill him (totally ignoring the concept of Elohim (divine judgement and authority), Messiah (anointed: Its this anointing that is the authority that is Elohim).  and the "Son of G-d" (one who carries the name and character of another/their Father) and how it applies to those doing the will of Hashem/ Jn.10). 


 1 Cor.12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit

Messiah himself made it clear that you cant understand Mashiach without Spiritual eyes and ears! Its not based in the physical. Messiah means anointed one. Christ asked His Disciples who do men say that I am, they started listing prophets then Matt.16:15,16,17 " He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven." Lk.9:20-22 "He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day." Mk.8:29-31 "And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again." (Jn.10:27)
2 Jn.1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the fleshThis is a deceiver and an antichrist.
Jn.12:44-45  Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. (Christ made it clear he was speaking about his fruits That this is how you see The Father/ By the Spirit, he was NOT saying if you see this flesh you see YHVH.) Jn.14:9-10 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not 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 dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. (Jn.14:7)

(Jn.8:36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47)

Jn.10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. (Jn.5:37)/ (Jn.8:28,54)/ Is.40:18 (Rom.1:21-23) Jn.14:9

Yeshua (Yahshua/Jesus) is called the *Right hand of G-D meaning in the position of carrying out the Power & Works of Yah in relation to creation. Also denotes Strength, Favor, Righteousness & Salvation Of Yah. Yahushua (Yahshua) means Salvation OF Yah or Yah is Salvation. This is the name of Messiah ("Jesus").
(Rom.1:3,4/ Is.7:14 / Matt.1:23/  Ps.110/ Matt.22:24/ Eze.36:29 (Rev.19:13 /Is.40:5, Is.9:6) 


Jn.10:25-39 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand. (*Jn.5:22-47)
Just as the Father and son are one we are to be one with them.(Jn.17:14,15,16,17,18,1920,21,22,23,24,25,26)

Not everyone that acknowledges Yeshua is Christ will be redeemed. Devils acknowledged Messiah( Jn.5:37/ Jn.6:46/* Jn.6:44). Every knee will bow to him at the beginning of the Lord's day. It wont be weather they have come to the knowledge that Christ is Adon (Lord) but rather if they are in a postive relationship with him having their hearts circumcised.   Faith without works is dead
Jas.2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Matt.10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Matt.7:21-23  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jas.2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Ex.23:20,21,22,23 -My Shem (name & character) is in him (The Name/shem of Yah is in the name of Yahushua) 
Yoseph (Joseph) concerning Mary in her conception: Matt.1:20-23 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Yahushua (Jesus): for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin (Is.4:17) shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
If you look up the English word here "Jesus" in a Strong's concordance it will show you the actual Greek term and there you will see it say "Of Hebrew origin" and it will give you the Hebrew name (which he was called in his day thus the reason i use IT) Yahushua (Yahshua or Yeshua for short) means something. It means Yah is salvation or Salvation of Yah. Emmanuel as stated means G-D with us (IN the flesh). Both of these names show He came to do the will of G-D by way of The Holy Spirit (His body being a temple). 
Yoseph is Yeshua's father in Law. Yoseph's physical line is related to Yeshua by law in Matt.1 and Lk.3 is Mary's physical line (through the males/ as tribal identification is done) in physical relation to Yeshua. Both lines show him related to Judah thus the territory in which he was born. In Judaism there are two Major Messianic figures. Messiah ben Yoseph, and Messiah en David showing that Adon Mashiach comes in two advents (this is covered in other studies lets stay on subject) Is.43:11/ Also The legal father of Yeshua being Yoseph, he shared the name of a son of Jacob (Israel) which had many simularites to Christ. Yeshua's legal father Yoseph also had a father named Jacob! The 1st advent of Yeshua was that of Messiah Ben Yoseph within Judaism. Ps.119:155 "Salvation (Yeshua H#3444) is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes." Salvation here is (the short version of the name of Messiah/ Jesus!) Immanuel/ Emmanuel

The prophets point towards Messiah as does the Law! Messiah points to The Almighty Father as well as the prophets did.

Is.40:18 (Remember G-D is Spirit with is observed by fruits in the physical)
Jn.5:22 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me 37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. Jn.6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. Jn.20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Ex.20:3 "You shall have no other gods (Elohim) before Me" (Ps.45:6-7/ Gen.3:22/ Hosea 1:7)
YHVH is Our Elohim (divine authority and judge). (Elohinu- Our G-d). Elohim can be used in the singular or the plural but in relation to the plural (judges) They always acknowledge YHVH as OUR Judge and authority. There is none greater. Eloah is Elohim who is to be worshipped. Eloah is God in connection with His Will rather than his power. 


 Is.48:12-16 Hearken (Shama) unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call (qara) unto them, they stand up together.All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear (Shama); which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous. Come ye near unto me, hear (Shama) ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD (Adonai/ YHVH), and his Spirit (the Ruach Hakodesh /Holy Spirit), hath sent me (Adon/ the Lord/ The beginning and the end).
Is. 63:7-14 

In the life (blood/ Lev.17:11) of Yeshua Torah was fulfilled. Thus he was free from blemish (transgression) and a worthy sacrifice for one an all times. Torah also gave the standards of atonement. Yeshua fulfilled the *atonements of Torah. This is why he came Heb.2:14. Thus when it was finished he Then sent his Apostels to the nations with the good news (Gospel). Relating Torah to the nations as the nations and the works of G-D Almighty in Messiah thus allowing us to live in Grace. Yeshua is our Passover (Pesach not "easter"): Heb.2:14/ 1 Cor.5:6-8/ 1 Tim.2:5,6/ Jn.10:17/ Jn.3:16/ Heb.10:10-12. 16-18/ Rom.5:8/ Col.2:16-17 / Rom.14:5-6/ Ex.12:23.27/ (Gal.3:24-29/ Ps.22/ Is.53)/.... Zech.12:10/ Eph.3:9/ Matt.20:28/ Mk.10:45/ Jn.16:28/ Heb.1:3,6/ Jn.14:6/ Jn.6:38/ Jn.5:30/ Is.9:6/ (Heb.9:11-14)

Jn.1:1,14   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (divine authority and judgement/ Theos/ Elohim).  And the Word was *made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Now note that the Greek "ginomai" (G#1096) is translated as "made". Throughout the bible the same term is translated as: fulfilled, be done, come, become, made, be married to, be preferred, however most commonly translated as "come to pass" (82 times to be exact!). So why was flesh used (needed) for the Word of God to come to pass? ATONEMENT ( Lev.17:11/ Heb.2:14/ 1 Cor.5:6-8/ Rev.19:13/ Matt.1:23/ 1 Jn.4:3 ). Yes the Word of God was made (G#1096) flesh (Jn,1:1,14) Meaning that The Word is fulfilled in Adon Mashiach/ The Word/ The Son of G-D/ A member of divine authority and judgement (Elohim/Theos). Abraham met him, Moses wrote of him (Jn.5:46), The prophets foretold of him, The Apostels declared his Authority is that of The Father for he came Not to do his own will but (to fulfill) that of the Father! (Always remember G-D is spirit (though divine authority and judgement came In the flesh of Mesiah) and not a single Biblical word that is translated as G-D, G-d or g-d relates to anything other than Spirit. Immanuel is G-d With us IN the flesh (so lets not think like the heathen Rom.1:21-23) When we partake of the bread (His body) and the wine (his blood/life/ righteousness) we become members of the body of Christ (Spiritual Israel).Jn.6:51 (Ex.29:32)/ Jn.6:55/ 1 Pet.2:24/ Is.53:5/ Matt.26:26/ Mk.14:22/ 1 Cor.11:24/ Jn.3:6,36/.... Mary concieved by way of the Holy Spirit (Matt.1:20,23/ Lk.1:35). The biblical concept of "Son of G-D" does not relate to physical offspring of a physical G-D having physical relations.

 Christ is Our Passover (1 Cor.5:7)
 Sabbath (rest)- Matt.11:28-30/ Heb.4:8-10/ Ps.23/ Ps.37/ (Dan.9:24-25/ Jer.6:16/ Matt.26:28)/ Jn.10:28 / How do we define rest/work according to Shabbat? Rabbis often say the bible isnt clear on this that this is one example of why we need "oral Torah" (Talmud) however i think it is made rather clear in scripture. The First Shabbat is recorded in Gen.2:1-3 in which G-D rested from his work of creation (the 7th day). Israel was told to set the literal (7th day) aside unto The LORD thus telling us we are to rest from our aims and agendas (work) and to focus on G-D (His Word, His ways). If man is so consumed that he never sets time aside unto growing in the ways of The LORD our G-D they will never have rest.  

Let's ask ourself, 
Is Yeshua ever identified with The Sacred name in the bible? 
(Lets think spiritually)
In the Tanakh we have G-D saying His name "I Am" in: 
Ex. 3:14 – G-d said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, I AM has sent me to you."
Ex. 6:2 – And G-d said to Moses, "I am the LORD."
Deut 32:39a – "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me;"
Isa 48:12 – "Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, whom I called! I am He, I am the first, and I am the last."



Absolute Emphatic "I AM"/ In the Gospel of John: 

- To the Samaritan Woman at Jacob's well near the town of Sychar:
4:26 – Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am (he)." [lit. "I am, the one speaking with you."] (Speak -fruit of Spirit)
- To his disciples in the boat while Jesus is walking on the Sea of Galilee:
6:20 – but he said to them, "It is I (lit. "I Am"); do not be afraid." (cf. Mark 6:50; Matt 14:27) (fear /comfort is Spiritual)
- To "the Jews" in Jerusalem at the Feast of Tabernacles:
8:24 – "I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe (Belief- Spiritual) that I am (he)."
8:28 – So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up (resurrection/praise-spiritual) the Son of man, then you will know that I am (he), and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me." (He clearly stressed spirit rather than humanity here)
 8:58 – Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am."
- To his disciples at the Last Supper in Jerusalem:
13:19 – "I tell you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am (he)." 
- To the soldiers and guards who come to arrest Jesus in the Garden in the Kidron Valley (Gethsemane):
18:5 – They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am (he)." Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
18:6 – When he said to them, "I am (he)," they drew back and fell to the ground.
18:8 – Jesus answered, "I told you that I am (he); so, if you seek me, let these men go."
What does this mean? Well when we understand what the scarid name means it simply means Yeshua came in the representation of The Almighty among men (Emmanuel: G-d with us IN the flesh), that that which he did was that of the Father.  I Am that I Am/ I will be(come) what (That, Who, Where) I will be (come). All prophets pointed towards Yeshua. He fulfills Torah law by his life/fruits (blood).

The title Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob knew as mentioning God was El Shaddai (G-d Almighty) Ex.6:3/ What we know of these people is given in Torah which came with the revelation of the sacred name and we see the sacred name being used in the bible (Hebrew Tanakh)  in relation to one who communed with Abraham! Gen.18:1-2 mentions 3 (masculine) individuals /"eesh" (masculine enitity) Not "adam" (human) thus showing masculinity not humanity. The Hebrew is written with the masculine a feminine not literally claiming that gender is physically present in relation to spiritual beings (angels/ G-D) but rather relating attributesto use who do have physical gender and gender roles. Anyway,  Gen.18:2 mentions 3 "men" /eesh (entities in the masculine)  at the tent door. Gen.18:1 has YHVH appeared unto Abraham there. Abraham called him Lord (Adonay/ Adonai  H#136)! Two of these 3 (Spiritual beings) left and went to Sodom and Gomorrah. There (Gen.19:1) they are clearly called "two angels" (malak/ messengers). Was this one he called The LORD, The angel of the LORD (Yeshua)? If we go back to chapter 14 of Barashet (Genesis) we see Melchizedek! Without going over all the relative scripture (laid out HERE), This Melchizedek is Yahshua HaMashiach prior to his physical conception and birth. Is this the same one who came to Abraham in Gen.18:1? Either way Yeshua in the "NT" said:
Jn.8:56-59 our father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am. Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Yeshua was clearly speaking of a time when he was in Spirit only (not flesh)! We can relate this message back to Abraham's communions in Gen.!

Yeshua also identifies himself in Revelations apart from his physical humanity. Rev.1:8,18 vs.8 says this one is "Almighty" and this same discription is that of Yeshua (Rev.22:13-14,20)

Is.9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name (Shem) shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Again Shem is the Hebrew word here and means Both Name a Chracter. Thus to say his Shem shall be called "The Everlasting Father" means he came in the character/essence/will of The Father (Spiritually speaking)!
.........................................................................................
The Tanakh (aka the "O.T.") agrees with the "New Testament" (brit chadashah) in context, when it comes to the description of El Shaddai (G-d Almighty)  
I Don't have need of the term "trinity" (?)to describe the Godhead and how G-D is one. Personally I feel the term causes confusion and is seen differently by so many that I prefer to use biblical terminology.
Anyone claiming G-D is "3 persons" (?)needs to take time away from traditions of men and apply all scripture on the subject of G-D and ask Him to lead them in The Spirit of truth.. 
I will not to use the terminology "persons" when describing G-D because 1) The bible never does 2) The general definition/perception of this word includes the context of being human./In This Context/ To say God is 3 SEPERATE (physical/or Spiritual) beings would be to blaspheme His shem (name &character), cause confusion, and not be biblical. As obvious as it sounds, that God is not three beings, many outsiders don't need Any confusion on the subject. It would require us doing what i am doing here. Stressing the context of "person" in a biblical context when it is used to describe GodWhen one says God is "3 persons" That gives the impression that there are 3 Separate entities (polytheism), or 3 Separate characters (personalities). When we are told how the Father and son are One we speak of One essence (Not 3 personalities) 
Does God have different attributes? Yes and all his attributes complete the One essence that is GOD. Personality : relates back to person in every way and stresses individual differences. G-D doesnt have split personalities. Nothing about saying God is 3 anything points to the fact that Christ said The LORD is one when he listed the greatest commandment.  The Almighty Father, The Holy Spirit, and The Son (The Word) are biblical concepts and yes they are One. I know some embrace the terminology "trinity" in a context that is strictly Monotheistic but i have no need of it and neither does anyone else.
Lets look a representation of this so called "trinity"
 
Here (above^) you can see that "trinitarians" SEPARATE the Father, Son & Holy Spirit (into "3 persons") something I NEVER DO. After separating them into "3 persons" then they say each one is "G-d". This is polytheism IMV and is PERVERSION no matter how its dressed it up.  The Son apart from the Father is NOT G-d, The Spirit is NOT "G-d" apart from the Father. These are not to be separated. I see no focus on what term meaning "G-d" is relative &  to this "3 person" G-d. 
Scripture NEVER uses "persons" (plural) in relation to the Godhead. It does however use The SINGULAR "Person" in Heb.1:1-4

Holy Spirit:
Often times people will say that because the Holy Spirit is mentioned as a "he", "him",and or "himself" in the bible that this somehow shows IT to be a seperate and distinct "person". People need to understand that the Greek (&Hebrew) uses masculine and feminine (gender specific) pronouns. When the Greek (& Hebrew) uses these its relating concepts and positions to us who DO have gender roles. Its not to be understood that everything being mentioned has a physical gender. Certainly not in relation to that which is Spirit or inanimate objects. If one will simply refer to a Strong's Concordance in these areas (Jn.16:14) where you observe a "he" (ekeinos/ G#1565) you will see that "It" is also appropriate thus for one who doesn't understand gender specific pronouns "IT" is actually More proper. Thus "he", "him", "his", and "himself" would be "it", "it's", or "itself" (or even "which")/ (Rom.8:26). 
Lets look at an example: Jn.16:13-14
Howbeit when he (IT), the Spirit of truth, is come, he (IT) will guide you into all truth: for he (IT) shall not speak of himself (ITSELF); but whatsoever he (IT) shall hear, that shall he (IT) speak: and he (IT) will shew you things to come.He(IT) shall glorify me: for he (IT) shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (Sometimes the kjv uses proper English method when translating, but again all you need is a concordance to see this holds up to every use). (Matt.10:20/ Lk.8:29; 9:39/ Jn.1:32/ 1 Pet.1:11) 

Rom.8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God 

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of The Father (The Source of all things). "G-D is love". Love is spirit. Perfect love is of the Holy Spirit. (1 Jn.4:7-8) Anyone who knows love has some concept of G-D who Is love. Thus when our loved ones show us love they are instruments of G-d to some extent (please dont confuse love with lust or passion).Being an instrument of G-D is the best we can strive to be (1 Cor.6:19)! Those who are instruments of G-D are one with him. Intellect is also spirit. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of truth. Thus G-D being spirit can communicate a truth to you via His Spirit (of truth) the truth that gets to you is Not the Father in All that He is but its a portion of what he has shared with you in a relationship. Faith (Heb.11:1) also being Spirit it actually shows us reaching out to G-D in Spirit. By Faith Abraham was pleasing unto G-D Almighty. Gen.15:6  And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. 


The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father. Our Spirits also came forth from the Father (1 Cor.6:19). Thus when the Father communicates . We know such things as Love, Intellect, Faith are Spirit. G-d is love. To be One with the Father (1 Jn4:18) is to be made perfect in Love. The fear (reverance/love and fear) of the LORD is the Beginning of knowledge. This matures into a Loving relationship! And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness
