Once the relationship between (Goat-Ez) and (Strength-Praise-Az-Oz), is fully understood, and put into practice, the adult believer will place the focus of their praise towards Yeshua the man (our Goat of removal/scapegoat). They will direct all their repentance and confession towards HIM, so that they can be reconnected to their childlike faith. YAH, the Divinity within Yeshua the man, is the instrument by which believers are to draw the Living Waters from Yeshua the man. [This is why "HALLELU-YAH" is the greatest word of praise. This is why it seems like the louder a pentecostal believer shouts "HALLELU-YAH", the more of the Holy Spirit they experience.]
The man, and the name of the man, is revealed to be the LIFE GIVER in Acts 4:12:
And there is no salvation by any other man...
..For there is not another name under heaven, given to mere men...
..By which it is necessary to receive LIFE from the GIVER OF LIFE (Saviour). Acts 4:12 Paraphrase
The name of MAR-YAH (the Lord YAH) is revealed to be the instrument by which the LIVING WATERS are drawn forth from Yeshua the man.
"All Who call on the name of MAR-YAH (THE LORD YAH) will live."
Acts 2:21 Roth
Peter is quoting from Joel 2:32 (3:5 Tanach) which uses the full form of the name Yehowah. However Peter is demanding that the believer obey this command by calling on the name of "MAR-YAH". Why would Peter do this? The answer is found in Psalms 138:2.
"I will worship toward thy holy temple and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name."
Psalms 138:2 KJV
What aspect of the word did Yehowah place above His very own name? What does this Psalm mean by "THE WORD"?
"Kingdoms of the earth sing to God, Chant hymns to Yehowah, selah. To HIM Who rides on the heaven of heavens of old; lo, He sends out his voice, a mighty voice."
Ps 68:32-33 [NOTE # 30] Author's translation
"Sing to God, sing praises to His name, lift Him up who rides upon the deserts, BY HIS NAME YAH, and exult before Him." Ps 68:4 [NOTE #31] Author's translation
The original Hebrew reveals that Yehowah is riding upon the heaven of heavens from ancient times, and at some point in time, Yehowah sends out His voice or word. Then we see by contrast, How YAH is riding upon the desert places of the earth, seeking for the rebellious (Ps 68:6,18) souls Who are dwelling in a dry thirsty land. Wherefore this context proves that YAH is the WORD that went forth from Yehowah out of heaven.
The word for "All" in Hebrew is "Kol-3605 Strong's", which can also mean totality, so let's reconsider Psalms 138:2 with all this in mind:
"I will worship toward your holy temple (Yeshua the man) and praise your name for your loving kindness and for your truth; for you have magnified (made great) your word (the name of YAH) above the TOTALITY of your name (Yehowah)."
Psalms 138:2 Paraphrased
When King David wrote this Psalm, the temple had not been built yet, therefore this Psalm must be prophetic of Yeshua the man, and YAH the Divine essence within the man. Which became magnified and was made great, by APPEARING before mankind in flesh, and is now magnified by APPEARING in all His glory, as He did before the apostle John in Revelation 1:12-18.
The name of Yehowah is the TOTALITY or FULLNESS of God's name, for this name represents every aspect of God, including His self existence and omnipresence. However the pronunciation of the name of Yehowah is hotly disputed. Some say "Jehovah", others claim "Yehuah", and there are many other renderings, such as "Yahvah" or "Yahweh", the list goes on and on. There are some ancient and modern Rabbis who insist the name is all vowels, and thus should be rendered (if at all) as "EE-AH-UW-EY" or "EE-AH-UW-AH", or some very similar combination of vowel sounds. But the name of YAH is spoken universally and without controversy: "Hallelu-YAH" means "PRAISE YAH". This compound phrase is spoken all over the world. And of course if vowels only, must be used, even for the short form of the name, then this would also be rendered universally "Hallelu-IA", that is "PRAISE-EE-AH".
There was no temple standing when David wrote Psalm 138:2, therefore this Psalm must be prophetic of Yeshua the man "I WILL WORSHIP TOWARD YOUR HOLY TEMPLE i.e. YESHUA". For this directs our attention, even our focus towards the dwelling place of the Divine Presence of YAH. This is why Paul wrote about this in his Epistles:
"And let us LOOK on YESHUA Who has become the beginning and completion of our faith; who, on account of the joy there was for him, endured the stake and surrendered himself to shame; and is seated on the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:2 Roth
"But our (service-labour-worship) is in heaven, and from there we LOOK longingly for our LIFE-GIVER, (even for) our Lord Yeshua the Messiah."
Phil 3:20
All of our labor of love, service and worship is directed toward our LIFE GIVER who dwells in heaven, even our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. Once a believer receives life from Yeshua, they then begin to LOOK LONGINGLY to see Yeshua face to face. Believers do not continue to see Yeshua in the present tense, hanging upon a tree, even though they acknowledge His past death, burial and resurrection. Rather, all believers should see Yeshua by faith in heaven in His glorified state, crowned with glory and honor.
Therefore the body of YAH, still serves as the focal point of our confession, thanksgiving and praise. It is the name of Yeshua which brings believers unto this veil of His body. So the name of Yeshua is the tool or instrument believers use by faith to approach unto the veil of His body. For it is as believers call upon the name of Yeshua, that they are given the image of Yeshua in His glorified State, in their minds and written upon their hearts.
The name of YAH also remains in force, as a tool or instrument, by which believers call upon, shouting "HALLELU-YAH" as they go beyond the veil of His body to drink of His Living Waters through faith. As a believer pictures Yeshua in their mind in His glorified State, and they begin to call upon the name of "YAH" within Him, they can actually feel a connection to the light which goes forth from Yeshua with brilliance and the SPIRIT OF YEHOWAH which proceeds from Yeshua to every believer who calls upon the name of MAR-YAH YESHUA with faith.
Remember, the body of YAH was broken, so that the SPIRIT OF YEHOWAH could flow from Yeshua the man without measure, and the believer is broken in spirit so that the SPIRIT of YEHOWAH can flow from Yeshua the body of YAH, into them by measure.
Now let's re-examine some verses which use the word [Az-Oz], in light of all we have learned about the use of this word, and that sometimes when this is translated as "strength" the believer should understand "THE FOCUS OF PRAISE". That is something to focus our praise with, or something to focus our praise on.
"YAH is the focus of my praise and my song, and is become my Salvation (YESHUA)." Psalms 118:14 Author's Translation (compare Exodus 15:2)
It is when YAH APPEARED in a mortal body as Yeshua (salvation), that HE became the focus of the believer's confession and praise.
"Behold, God is my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the focus of my praise and song is YAH YEHOWAH, He has become my salvation (YESHUA)."
Isaiah 12:2 Author's translation
When YAH the seed of the word is planted into the heart. This causes the heart to focus on Yeshua the man concerning confession and praise. For the seed of the word is within the heart longing for the fullness of YEHOWAH, found only in and through Yeshua the man (Col 2:9). Then as the believer seeks the LIVING WATERS, and receives the same from Yeshua the man, then YAH the word is united with YEHOWAH the LIVING WATERS, and the Father and the Son become ONE WITHIN THE SOUL of the believer. Which is why Isaiah continues this thought like this:
"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation(YESHUA)."
Isaiah 12:3 KJV
This reveals the proper approach to the throne of grace, that when believers are properly taught, they can approach with boldness because their eyes are opened and they can clearly see the path, and how to clear away all obstacles.
Both aspects of MAR YAH YESHUA, both His humanity (YESHUA) and His Divinity (MAR- YAH), are to be used in the hands of the believer as instruments by which to draw near to Yehowah. MAR-YAH YESHUA fulfills: the types set by both the goats of Leviticus chapter 16, and both of these goats draw believers the beautiful picture of drawing near as presented here.
But what if we deviate in some respect from this clear path? Remember that even Moses deviated from the instructions that he was given, yet the water still came forth as promised. Yet because of this error in judgment, both Moses and Aaron were not allowed to enter the promised land. If we seek a genuine move of the SPIRIT OF YEHOWAH in these last days, we must follow His pattern.
Also remember Aaron's two sons, who offered strange fire unto Yehowah, a thing which was not commanded (Lev 10:1-3). This is like unto offering unto YAH an offering of praise and thanksgiving with the tongues of fire, without laying a proper foundation of faith, along with one's confession and repentance with a contrite heart, and self examination. Because if a soul attempts to speak in tongues, while the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, still has its grip on the heart,(without true heartfelt repentance), then these tongues are a unwholesome offering unto Yehowah, and will cause this individual to be cut off from the presence of Yehowah.
These type of false brethren, will be the most anti-Torah of all, and will argue against any type of sound Biblical Holiness. These false brethren, will have a strong religious spirit, but will lack the love of the Holy Spirit! As the scripture says, after the first and second admonition, turn away (Titus 3:10).
It was shown on (CH 5 Sec 5 (1)), that the goat for Yehowah was sacrificed in order to purify and cleanse the temple itself, from its uncleanness through its contact with the sins of the people of Israel (Lev 16:16). Now that we know that this goat represents Yeshua the temple of YAH, we can see how the name of Yeshua works in our redemption to cleanse our earthly temples, that is our Physical bodies. Therefore the name of Yeshua was given to mankind, so that believers can purify their bodily temples, prior to approaching the throne of grace. The name of Yeshua is the tool given to mankind to effect their outward purification. Which is why the name of Yeshua is used in baptism.
Again, it was shown on CH 5 Sec 5 (1), that the goat of removal (scapegoat) is a type of YAH, the Divine presence within Yeshua the man, which carried the sins of mankind into a land which is cut off from human habitation, that is YAH carried the sins of Israel into SHEOL (Lev 16:22; Isa 53:8). Therefore the name of YAH is the instrument mankind was given, by which we are to purify our inward souls from all our sins. Because as we call upon MAR-YAH for the gift of life within Yeshua, HE will send us the Holy Spirit, thus we are cleansed by the SPIRIT OF YEHOWAH, as we call upon YAH.
This is why so many will receive the Holy Spirit in a spirit of praise and worship, shouting "HALLELU-YAH". For YAH still wants to carry our sins off into a land cut off to human habitation.
"Repent, therefore, and be turned (converted) so that your sins be blotted out and times of rest come to you from before the presence of MAR-YAH."
Acts 3:19 Roth
You can be like Moses, and decide, "I've done this before, I know how to get water out of this ROCK", and continue doing it your way. Or, even, according to the past instructions you have received. Or you can allow your longing for a genuine move of THE SPIRIT OF YAH in your midst, to overcome what you have known in the past, in order to follow the more specific instructions, of which a deeper study of the word reveals. So that we as the people of YAH can experience the greatest revival this world has ever known.
It's your way or HIS WAY! You have to decide.
