5.b.7 - In the Name of the Holy Spirit: Matthew 28:19

 5.b.7 - In the Name of the Holy Spirit: Matthew 28:19

It is agreeable to most that the Name of the Father is Yehowah - יהוה and the Name of the Son is Yeshua, or as Hebrew and Aramaic reveal YAH YESHUA, however, what did Yah Yeshua mean by THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

The key is Isaiah 12:2-3.

...For Yah Yehowah is my strength and my song; He also is become my salvation [YESHUA]. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isa 12:2-3[Yeshua]

What does Yah Yehowah have to do with our salvation?

It is revealed in Psalms 68 that while Yehowah was riding the heaven of heavens, He gave forth His voice, which was a mighty voice [Ps 68:32-33]. This is contrasted with Yah riding upon the desert places of the earth, seeking for rebellious souls dwelling there [Ps 68:4,6,18].[Shamayim][arabot]

Therefore, Yah is the voice or Word of Yehowah that was sent forth unto the earth.

The Word is also the Seed of Yehowah, which is placed in the heart of the believer, as the believer hears the Word.

But he that receiveth seed into the good ground is he that heareth the Word and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Matt 13:23

Yah is this Seed of the Word which is sown into the hearts of believers as they hear the Word. The believer's heart is made clean by the Word which he hears:

Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth. John 17:17

Yet for Yah, the Word, to grow as Seed within our hearts, we must empty ourselves of all things choking the Word, giving Word no room to grow:

I know that you are the seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill me, because you would not empty yourselves for my word. John 8:37 [Aramaic verse 26]

The Aramaic word used for empty is capag #5606, which means to vomit forth. Many things were kept in the hearts of Pharisees, which prevented the Word from growing.

However, if Yah, the Seed, is to grow within, the Seed must be watered by Yehowah the Living Waters:

That he might sanctify it [the assembly] and cleanse it [the assembly] with the washing of water and with the word. Eph 5:26 Aramaic

Greek reads with washing of water by the Word. But waters spoken here refer to Living Waters of Yehowah. Thus assembly is cleansed by Word and Living Waters of Yehowah. Therefore washing of water refers to spiritual baptism, that is, receiving of Living Waters.

There is one other reason this does not refer to water baptism: because Yah, the Seed, alone, is not enough for believer to be made complete and whole:

That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in me, and I in Thee, THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US: John 17:21

We can be ONE in Father and Son, by allowing Yah the Seed to call out to Yehowah the Living Waters, so that Living Waters will also come and dwell in us, so that Yah, the Seed, can be united with Yehowah, the Living Waters within us.

Once a believer realizes Yeshua is Temple of Yah, our Elohym, Yah, the Seed, becomes planted within their hearts. This should lead the believer to call out to Yah Yeshua as his Elohym and Master, so that He will send him Living Waters, which is Yehowah, the Father, so that Yah and Yehowah will unite in believer's heart and soul as Holy Spirit, abiding within him.

Subsequently, to be made completely clean, we all must be washed by Yehowah the Living Waters and Yah, the Word, united within us.

However, the “us”  does not describe separate and distinct persons, as with separate will, desire, etc. Yet it does describe separate functions within Yehowah, functions of which Yehowah wants His people to understand:

Yehowah, the Father, Creator, the omnipresent invisible Living Waters of life

Yah Yeshua, the Son. The one through whom worlds were created. Source of Living Waters, Life Giver, Word of Yehowah, Seed of Yehowah, Right Hand of Yehowah and extension of Yehowah unto earth. Yah Yeshua, Son, reveals omnipresent, invisible Yehowah to world.

Yah Yehowah, the Holy Spirit. When Yah, Seed of Yehowah within the believer, is united with Yehowah, Living Waters, this unification of Father and Son causes the Holy Spirit to abide in the believer.

For far too long, Matthew 28:19 has been used in reference to water baptism, only, as if it were a formula to recite. Yet in the book of Acts, from Greek text, it is the Name of Son being used in baptism. When Acts 2:38 is examined in Aramaic Peshitta, apostles baptized in the Name of Master Yah Yeshua, which is simply the full Name of Son. The reason why is because water baptism is a type of death and burial, and Yehowah never died and was never buried.

This is not a formula to recite.

Matthew 28:19 is not three titles to repeat over water. It is a revelation of how Living Waters come to dwell in us.

The Word draws us to the Son.

We hear Yah, the Seed, the Living Word, sown into our hearts. The Word makes us understand who Son is.

Then we confess the Son - tauwditha - our immersion / baptism is our confession of Yah Yeshua - that Master Yah is Yeshua Messiah to the glory of Yehowah His Father [Phil 2:11 Peshitta].

By confessing to Son, we draw water out of the wells of Yeshua.

Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Isa 12:3

What do we receive?

We receive Living Word - Son - Yah planted within.

We receive Living Waters - from Father - Yehowah coming to water that Seed.

But our source is always the Son.

The River flows from its Source, the Sea who is Father of all.

Yehowah is the Sea - Father of all Living Waters.

Yah Yeshua is the Fountain - the Well of Salvation from which we draw.

Yah Yehowah is that River joined to Sea within us - Holy Spirit abiding.

Thus Yah Yehowah Yeshua is not a formula. It is a confession.

A confession that we understand the River's ultimate Source, and ultimate Fountain from which we receive a measure.

We confess the Son, we receive a measure of the Father through the Son, and Father and Son become ONE - Yah Yehowah - Holy Spirit within us.

That is the Name of the Holy Spirit.
