Intro: + Yehowah is ONE Sec 5b1 and 5b 2

𝐒𝐞𝐜 𝟓𝐛 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨: 𝐘𝐚𝐡 𝐘𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜 𝟓𝐛𝟐 𝐘𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝟓..𝐛.𝟏 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫s Originally, I wrote this section for believers to be able to meditate upon the divine essence, so that they can contemplate deep mysteries. It is included here to help the believer to see how Yehowah describes Himself so that he can better come to know Him. These descriptions include seemingly physical or earthly places, from which are derived a picture of the divine essence. This divine essence is revealed to be far off from mankind, yet a detailed description is given of how Yehowah plans to span this bridge, granting mankind access unto Himself. Because of the obscure and controversial nature of many verses covered herein, some contexts may not be agreeable to all the brothers. I hope that all can agree to these following concepts: Sheol is a place for departed spirits. Sheol has two compartments: One holds all righteous spirits. The other imprisons all unrighteous spirits. At death… The spirit is taken to Sheol with self-awareness and memory preserved. The body is buried in the grave and knows nothing at all. Yehowah, the Father, is a River of Living Waters. Yeshua, the Man, is the only source of Living Waters. The people of Elohym reach these Living Waters in order to… Be completely healed. Bring in the end-time harvest of souls. 𝟓.𝐛.𝟐 - 𝐘𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐎𝐧𝐞 When studying about the divine essence of Yehowah and the relationship between Father and Son, one ought to take the many verses which proclaim His oneness into close consideration and prayerful scrutiny. For, it is written: 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝐈𝐬𝐫𝐚𝐞𝐥, 𝐘𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐨𝐡𝐲𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐡. Deuteronomy 6:4 Is is really impossible to discern what the "one" in this context really means? Does it mean: Three Elohym holding hands in agreement? Two Elohym holding hands in agreement? Three persons in a compound unity of one El? Two persons in a compound unity of one El? One El, period, with no division of persons within Him? [Note: Some claim that Deuteronomy 6:4 has nothing to do with the number of persons within Yehowah, but rather that no other compound unities exist. We will look at this claim to see if it matches the rest of Scripture.] Scripture declares that there is no other El dwelling beside Yehowah: … for Yehowah is Elohym; there is none beside Him. Deuteronomy 4:35 [There is no more by His side.] The Hebrew word for "beside" is milbad, which is a compound word that breaks down like this: Bad – separation (from other parts); thus "part" L'bad – alone (to its parts), in its separation Milbad – apart from; thus "beside" The Hebrew phrase for "none" ["no more"] is eyn owd: Eyn – no, not, none Owd – repetition; thus 'more' Thus, Yehowah alone is Elohym, and there is no other El who stands next to Him. Again, it is written: For I am Elohym, and there is no other [eyn owd]. I am Elohym, and there is none like Me. Isaiah 46:9 For Yehowah, He is Elohym in heaven above and upon the earth beneath, [there is] no more [eyn owd]. Deuteronomy 4:39 There is no other El anywhere besides Yehowah; there exist no other Elohym. Again, it is written: To cause them to know, from the rising of the sun unto its going down, that there is none besides Me [no, none added, no repetition, not another]. I am Yehowah, and there is not other [eyn owd]. Isaiah 45:6 In this context, the Hebrew word for "besides" is the compound word, biladay [#1107]: Bal – #1077 – none, nothing, not Ad – #5749 uwd #5750 owd – repetition, repeating, going over again, added, additional In this context, the idea of repetition, or additional, cannot be taken any other way except "of persons", that is "there is none, not any other," that is, "no more." When the additional negation is added in context, this becomes, "No, there is not any other," or "no, not another," or "No, none other than Me!" Again, it is written: Surely I am Yehowah, and there is no Savior besides Me. Isaiah 43:11 Thus says Yehowah, King of Israel, and their Redeemer, Yehowah of Hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and besides Me, there is no Elohym. Isaiah 44:6 In these verses, the word, "besides", is translated from the Hebrew word, mibaladay, which has the mi [מ] attached to baladay, which is also translated as "besides", in Isaiah 45:6. Thus, the entire word must be looked at again, in order to see the slight variation in meaning intended in the original: Mi – from (apart from), near, out of, above Bal – not, none, no Ad – going over again, repetition, more, added, additional Ay – me Therefore, we should also understand it this way: There is no Savior apart from, or in addition to, Me. There is no Savior near Me or in addition to Me. There is no El above Me or in addition to Me. Apart from Me and in addition to Me, there is no El. There is no Savior or El, which is apart from Yehowah, not in addition to Him. Again, it is written: I am Yehowah, and there is no other [eyn owd]; beside Me, there is no Elohym … Isaiah 45:5 The Hebrew word for "beside" is zuwl [#2108], which springs from the idea of pouring out contents and removing all or part of the contents into another place, that is, next to or beside. From this context, it becomes obvious that Yehowah has not ever poured out a portion of Himself to make another El to stand next to Him or to be in agreement with Him. In fact, it becomes apparent, through close examination, that Yehowah has never in the past, and will never in the future, divide Himself up into separate persons. Again, it is written: Declare, and bring them near, and let them take counsel together. Who caused this to be heard from ancient time, declared it from that time. Have not I, Yehowah? And there is no other [eyn owd] El besides Me. A righteous El and a Savior, there is none besides Me. Isaiah 45:21[mibaladay][zuwl] This verse defines the oneness from several different angles: There is no other El or Savior apart from Yehowah or in addition to Yehowah. No other El or Savior has ever been poured forth from Yehowah to stand next to Yehowah as a separate person. Why is this subject so important? Because, it is written: I am Yehowah; that is My name, and I will not give My glory to another. Isaiah 42:8 Therefore, if a believer thinks "one" means two or three persons in agreement, then this belief system is, by its very nature, giving the glory of Yehowah to another, even if this system of belief sees three persons within Yehowah. Because, Yehowah, our El, is a jealous El, and His jealousy rages as a consuming fire. [See Deuteronomy 4:24 and Hebrews 12:29.] When one looks at the word used for "beside" and "besides" Yehowah in their simplest forms in context, it becomes obvious that when Yehowah says that HE IS ONE Yehowah, He means just that. Then as one delves deeper into the picture drawn from these words, used in contrast with one another, as in Isaiah 45:21, then one wonders how someone could ever come to the conclusion that Yehowah is a compound unity or a trinity or a twinity. Yet many brothers hold to these teachings. Consider this: if Yehowah is meaning to reveal that He is truly ONE El, with no division of individual persons within Him, exactly what Hebrew words were available for Him to make this any more clear than those already used here? There is a relentless attack on the Hebrew word for "one", as used in Deuteronomy 6:4: Listen Israel, Yehowah your Elohym, Yehowah is one. The Hebrew word for "one" is echad [#258 and #259]. The Hebrews reached the idea and concept of "one" from the similar thought of "to unite, to join one's self together, to collect one's self" [Gesenius: see echad.] Yet echad does take on the numerical power of an adjective, "one". It also means "the same". It is used to convey the idea of "one of a kind", as in: But He is one, and who can turn Him… Job 23:13 … behold an evil, and only evil has come. Ezekiel 7:5 My perfect beloved, she is one, one she is of her mother [the only one]. She is the chosen unto her that bore her. Song of Solomon 6:9[mind][one] The fact remains that the Hebrews did not have a more specific word to use in order to convey the idea of Yehowah's oneness. Some who try to bolster their teaching of the trinity make the absurd claim that yachad (#3162 Strong's) would have been used if "one" had been the intended meaning of Deuteronomy 6:4. A believer only has to look up this word in the Strong's Hebrew lexicon or the Gesenius Hebrew lexicon in order to realize how wrong this claim is. Yachad [#3160]: to be joined, united together to join oneself Yachad [#3162]: union, junction together in one place While yachad always takes the meaning as listed above, the word, echad [#259] is used thus: First Someone (an individual) A certain (an individual) One only of its kind One time (once) The same[person] The only question which remains is, why would an otherwise honest teacher be so intent on proving his point, that he was willing to tell such a blatant lie? And, the point could be easily refuted by comparing echad and yachad in a Hebrew dictionary or lexicon. Therefore, considering the limits of the Hebrew language, a more specific word for "one" cannot be found that would better express one Yehowah with no division within Him, that would amount to a separate person or persons. Then, when this "one" is compared to the verses which explain and limit our understanding of "one" in context, a believer can rest confident that "one" means "one", we need no further explanation.[echad] Now, let us examine and reconsider how Yehowah, through Isaiah, has defined His oneness: And there is no other [eyn owd] El besides Me [apart from me or in addition to Me (mibaladay)], A righteous El and a Savior; there is none beside Me [poured out from Me to stand as a separate person next to Me]. Isaiah 45:21 Yehowah is ONE Sea with no other Sea beside Him, no other El poured out beside Him - yet within that ONE Sea, He has a Cove/Bosom who was able to robe Himself in flesh. Not another El, not a separate person, but His own portion. This does NOT mean Yehowah has no Son. It means there is no OTHER El, no second Sea, no El poured out to stand beside Him as competitor. Master Yah is not another El beside Yehowah. Master Yah IS Yehowah's own Cove, His own Word, His own arm, come to save us. Isaiah 59:16
