ONCE GOD ALWAYS GOD

"I Am (Ya) Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord, "which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." (Rev 1:8)

 In the Hebrew, the Greek alpha and omega is the aleph (aka “el”) and the tav.

El is the Power of God and tav the picture of the cross. The two letters together is “et” which appears firstly in Genesis 1:1. Literally in letters the aleph-tav indicated the Divine Power of the Cross. That Power is “The Word” that also was the Power to Create.

John wrote, ”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). “Et” (pronounced “ate”) is “The Word of God, so Et must be in Genesis 1:1. It is in the graphic below.

 

Figure 2: Gen 1:1 in Hebrew

Et has no meaning to the Jews. Some will not even pronounce that Word. The first Israel Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion would not even say that Word. Apparently only he knew why, but now I do as well!

“Et” means “The Word” of God in the flesh and called “Jesus.” They can’t say the Name because to them if they say that Name it would be in vain. The “Et” did appear in the beginning sentence of both the Bible and Creation. The last appearance of Et was in Genesis 3:24 which refers to both Jesus and the cross. It is used as the “and” before the phrase, “flaming sword.”

The sword of God is wielded by Jesus, and it appears at the ending in Revelation. (Rev 2:16) "Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. The sword of His mouth is “The Word,” although Et is not written, it is implied in that passage.

 Revelation is the ending. Thus, the aleph-tav appears both in the beginning and ending just as Jesus revealed. Who would have ever thought that John 1:1 was in Genesis 1:1? John knew that when he wrote John chapter one.

Furthermore, As John said, “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” (John 1:14).

“The Word” is ‘Et.  The ‘Et — the aleph through the tav — was made flesh. In other words, the Hebrew aleph-bet is the Word that was made flesh and called, “Jesus.”

Yeshua, in the Hebrew, is “The Word” and it is formed by the Hebrew alphabet. Yeshua is spelled yod, shin, waw, and ayin.  

As usual the syntax of the Hebrew is in verb, subject, object order. However, the waw, or vav, is a placeholder in this case representing the coming Messiah (ancient Hebrew as you should recall.) Therefore, the yod is the verb, shin the subject, and ayin the object.

Consider firstly the object; ayin is the pictograph of an eye. It infers visibility. The ayin is an object that the eye can see. Jesus is the manifestation of God. John the Baptist said this about the coming Messiah, “After me will come a man which is preferred before me: for He was before me, and I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel” (John 1:30-31).

John implied that before since he did not know Him, that Jesus was not visible. Jesus came to manifest the invisible God. God was the same God, not another, but now He could be seen. Hence, He was called “Yeshua” because Yahweh was God revealed to Israel. Jesus is objective Yahweh as His Name means: “Ya(weh) saves.”

The Name “Yeshua” is theophoric which means “bearing God.” Yeshua is a name that bears God. Yeshua is the Person who bears God with His flesh, just like John wrote (John 1:14). Only in English is He called “Jesus.”

The verb is the letter, yod. The pictograph is an arm with a hand and fingers. However, since it came first in ancient Hebrew, it must be a verb. It represents work or deeds as a verb.

Jesus was not a mere carpenter as is thought. In the Greek, Jesus is called a “tekton,” which in the modern era means more than “tradesman.”  Jesus was a technician of the highest order. He was not just the “scientist” but the “Science” since all things were made by Him (John 1:1-3).

Because all things that He made were good (Gen 1:29) and He was God, the Power (Greek Dynamos) of Yeshua was virtue.

Since yod is a verb, then Jesus was the Almighty Dynamic of God and within Jesus was the Power to create, or to make whole. That is where the theophoric aspect comes into His name. “Saves” is the Dynamic verb in the Name, Yeshua. Jesus has the creative Power of God in His flesh.

That takes care of the verb and the object, leaving the letter shin as the subject. The subject of shin is “separate” and can mean divided. Like Adam was separated from the Yod, Yahweh, so was Jesus as the “last Adam,” to wit: “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Cor 15:45).

Adam had “dominion” in the Garden (Gen 1:26) that the other animals did not have. Adam was literally “crumbled” from the Image of God. Adam was separated from the other animals by having God in him.

So it is for Jesus, but He was not crumbled from God but a portion of the living Spirit of God. In other words, Father God, Yahweh, lived in Him, not just a portion. Jesus is entirely God.

Since “Father” God was carried (from the theophoric name) in Him, it had to be in His flesh. The flesh of Jesus was the vessel, or “cup.”

In agony for mankind, Jesus asked to pass the “cup” to another, but it was Him that would bear the vessel: Abba, Father, all things are possible to You; take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will (Mar 14:36).

Within the “cup” of Jesus was Abba “Father” that He would bear for 33 years. Abba is much more than the English word, father, for each letter has significance. Abba consists of three letters, aleph, bet, and aleph. The English pronounce the ending “a” but Hebrews do not. Hence, Abba is just the Hebrew alphabet, or “The Word,” (‘ET).  Abba indicates that “The Word” is in the vessel of Jesus, just as John wrote.

The Body of Jesus was the Vessel in which God Existed for the time He appeared on Earth as a man. His flesh was the “son” or genetics of Adam, and His Ghost, the genetics of The Word, Yahweh.

Jesus always existed, according to the writer, John. John the Baptist, born before Jesus, said that Jesus came before himself. Jesus pre-existed John the Baptist, not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. “The Angel of God” was as much Jesus as “The Body of God.”

The Angel of God was the Spirit of God in the bodily shape of the coming Messiah. Luke wrote about the “cup” Jesus being filled for Him to carry the quickening Spirit in His Person:

The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape (like a dove) upon Him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, “You are my beloved Son; in You I am well pleased. (Luke 3:22)

Abba, in the bodily shape of a man, filled the vessel, Jesus. The Word (The Voice) came from heaven and called Jesus the “Son.” Jesus was not the biological “Son of God” but the Abba in the vessel of Jesus. The Voice broke off, and from another realm, imbued Jesus with The Word.

As indicated in an earlier chapter came from another realm, not from some distant place. As such, just as at the conception of Jesus, God hovered over the Vessel. What happened to the Voice between the conception of Jesus and His baptism remains unknown, but it seems the “Seed” of God imbued Mary, and the Yeshua Himself imbued the Person of Jesus since Jesus was both wholly man and wholly God.

God was in the Person Jesus, not just a fragment of Him like in Adam.

Adam had the “Shadow” (Selem) of God in Him. Jesus had the Light of God within. There is a difference. Selem is literally, tsade, lamed, closed mem.

The tsade is a seed on a journey, apparently on his belly a going. The lamed is the subject, implying from below to upward, perhaps from earth to heaven. The mem at the end represents the object. It is either water or blood, or perhaps both in the manner of Jesus, “This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ, not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness” (1 John 5:6).

Hence, the mem represents the spirit within Adam and his kind. The Image of God in man was Spirit — a phantom in the shape of the man, Adam.

As the crucifixion revealed, God using the Allegory of the Cave of Plato, revealed that the Holy Ghost — the Spirit in the shape of the man, Jesus — was indeed a fragment of the real object, Jesus. Because Jesus was nailed still, and because shadows normally move with the motion of the objects, Jesus overcame the world; His shadow moving independent of the object.

The Holy Ghost of Jesus was the fragment of God in the Person, Jesus and that day, the Holy Ghost performed the burden of God on its back, delivering the repentant sinner to Paradise and sin and Satan to Hell.

The shape of God changed with time, but God was always the same. Christ in us is the Holy Ghost of Jesus in Christians. The Holy Ghost is as much Yahweh as Jesus and Yahweh is as much Jesus as He is Himself.

THE NAME IN VAIN

I thought my insight from today might interest you: 

Revelation 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

 In the Hebrew the Greek alpha and omega is the aleph (aka “el”) and the tav. 

El is the Power of God and tav the picture of the cross. The two letters together is “et” which appears only in Genesis 1:1. Literally in letters the aleph-tav indicated the Divine Power of the Cross. That Power is “The Word” that also was the Power to Create. 

John wrote,”In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). “Et” (pronounced “ate”) is “The Word of God, so Et must be in Genesis 1:1. It is in the graphic below. Et has no meaning to the Jews. Some will not even pronounce that Word. The first Israel Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion would not even say that Word. Apparently only he knew why, but now I do! 

It means “The Word” of God in the flesh and called Jesus.” They can’t say the Name because to them if they say that Name it would be in vain. The “Et” did appear in the beginning sentence of both the Bible and Creation. The last appearance of Et was in Genesis 3:24 which refers to both Jesus and the cross. It is used as the “and” before the “flaming sword.” 

The sword of God is wielded by Jesus, and it appears at the ending in Revelation. (Rev 2:16) "Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. The sword of His mouth is “The Word,” so although Et is not written, it is implied in that passage.

 Revelation is the end. Thus, the aleph-tav appears both in the beginning and ending just as Jesus revealed. Who would have ever thought that John 1:1 was in Genesis 1:1? John knew that when he wrote John chapter one.

THE CONTENTS OF A CUP IS THE SAME EVEN OUTSIDE THE CUP

 

THE SCIENCE OF THE GODHEAD

 

Quanta are microscopic packets of energy. Stored energy has the potential to power activities. The beginning (Gen 1:1) was God’s Potential to convert Light into particles that are both seen and unseen. The unseen things are just as much particles, as the things that are seen. The difference is the frequency of light that the human eye can see.

Sacred literature reveals that glorious Adam and his woman, before sin, could see things that they could not see before sin. Eve remembered her bright eyes back in the Garden before time began. [1]

After sin, our forebears had this conversation: 

“God, when we dwelt in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, but now we do not see as we were used to do; nay, when we entered the cave, all creation became hidden from us."

Then God the Lord said unto Adam, "When thou wast under subjection [to Me], thou hadst a bright nature within thee, and for that reason couldst thou see things afar off. But after thy transgression thy bright nature was withdrawn from thee; and it was not left to thee to see things afar off, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish." (I Adam and Eve VIII) 

Scientifically, God had put blinders on the two. No longer could they see things that were in high frequencies of light. They were still there, but they could no longer see what they once saw when they had bright natures. They no longer had the all-seeing eyes of God but eyes of beasts.

Adam’s kind could therefore see God before sin. They could see His Power! They would have known the truth — that God took Light from Himself and made all firm things, just as sit is written in Genesis.

God, in the beginning, was without form, yet they knew He existed. Anything without form is like a billow of a cloud or even a tongue of fire. Since God is Existence (Exod 3:14). God was in all things because all things were made by Him:

All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. (John 1:3-4)

God is life. He was “It” — the only Living Thing. That was in the beginning, then the Light of God made men, specifically Adam and Eve. God took Light and made firm things. Just last month it was reported that scientists have now accomplished that same task. (Trypogeorgos 2025) Humans now have the potential of God.

Therefore, The Word of the Lord” (Gen 15:1; John 1:1) was without form. The Hebrew word for “Word” is dabar, meaning an act. “The Word” of God is the action, or dynamics of God doing things. He had Potential; He did things by speaking and they came about.

Dabar is literally: dahlet – bet – resh. Unlike the modern, the ancient Hebrew has the order: verb, subject, object. The letter dahlet, therefore, is the verb and means activity, or dynamics.  

Jesus lost virtue when He healed. That “virtue” is dynamos in the Greek and dynamics in English.

Hence, The Word of God is dynamic. God reveals to mankind Himself by the things that He does, so that explains miracles.

The letter bet in dabar is the object. Jesus is the objective God; objective in the sense that can be observed by some device. Jesus was the manifestation of God.

John (the baptist) saw God in Jesus; He saw the dabar happen!

This is He of whom I said, “After me will come a Man which is preferred before me: for He was before me, and I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water, and John bare record, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him.” (John 1:30-32)

The ”House” was built first for the “room” of God. The Spirit descended with dynamics likened unto a dove. That action was the verb, dahlet.

The Bet was already there so the dahlet pointed toward it with its shape. The dahlet entered the door to the Bet, or House of God. Jesus was the Subject of the action. The door was entered toward Jesus. The third letter is the object.

Resh is characterized by a head with a face. Jesus was the Face of God which Moses was not allowed to see, to wit:

And the Lord said, “Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand upon a rock and it shall come to pass while My Glory passes by, that I will put you in a clift of the rock, and will cover you with my Hand while I pass by, and I will take away Mine hand, and you shall see My back parts: but My face shall not be seen. (Exod 33:21-23) 

“My glory” is kabod in the Hebrew. That is literally His weight, or mass. “Hand” therein is kaf in the Hebrew. God would allow Moses to see only His mass, and from behind.

The back parts of God was the Spirit that Moses witnessed. God was seen only as a mass or no definitive shape. That “mass” was the Spirit descending (ostensibly through the “door” of the dahlet.)

The Divine “Mass” was without a House (Bet) and without a face. The Baptism of Jesus was God putting onto His Mass a Face. It was a beautiful face, even “glorious.” The “mass” of God was not haphazard and chaotic but would have been like the “pillar of a cloud” (Exod 13:21).

So, imagine the motion of the dove drifting toward Jesus like a pillar of a cloud and as it entered Jesus (The Door) the Spirit would take the shape of the Person of God.

The dynamic of that is cloud to shape to Person. Luke validated that: At that same baptism, Luke saw something that few would have seen because he apparently had bright eyes like glorious Adam:

The Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a Voice came from heaven, which said, “You are my beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:22)

God was shape-shifting! He approached Jesus was a Spirit like a cloud and then began to take the shape of the Person Jesus as He entered the “Door.”

I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (John 10:9)

“Pasture” therein represents to Garden Paradise.

Jesus is the “Door,” or Way, to enter unto the Garden of God. “The Way” is not a path but an action. “You must be born again” (John 3:7).

The Baptism of Jesus was “glorification” and apparently glorification is more than a moment in time because it was finished at the crucifixion, as Jesus foresaw it:

He that believes on Me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water, but this spoke He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:38-39)

Glorification was the Spirit flowing from Jesus as He gave up the Ghost; that was when mankind undid what God had done. It was sort of a favor because then the Spirit could enter mankind as Holy Ghosts of them. Glorification seems to be what God did to Adam back in the Garden of Eden when He breathed life unto him. (Gen 2:7). In other words, Jesus returned to the undefined shape of God, so that He could enter into all would believe in Him (John 3:16).

That emphasizes several points: 

1.      The Godhead is not three Persons.

2.      Jesus is the Person that contained the Essence of God.

3.      God is not three substances but one that can take on different forms.

4.      God is One Divine Being.

5.      God takes on different forms for different people.

6.      Any of those forms are still God.

7.      God did not die; His Body rested while the Spirit was saving mankind.

8.      The Image of God was demobilized as the “Angel of God” — His Ghost — was busy taking death and sin to Hell and the repentant thief to Paradise. 

There is one caveat; “and a Voice came from heaven…” How can that be? Is heaven not a far distance away? We need to quit thinking of “Heaven” as a place far away, but a realm as close as some portal, or door. Dabar was that door, and it was right there. Dabar (glorification) is always right there where Jesus, whatever His shape, might be! The Way is not directional or even distant. It is wherever Yahweh was with them, the Holy Ghost in them, or Jesus appeared to them. There are not three God’s or three beings that are different substances, but one God in three possibilities.

Where is God? He is always present. So, you cannot see Him? Then your nature might not be as bright as you might see is. Jesus is “Emanuel” — “God with Us.” Because you can’t see the Face and Body of Jesus does not make Him less real.

Nebuchadnezzar was blessed. He saw God as Luke saw Him enter into Jesus; King Nebuchadnezzar marveled after he fed the fiery furnace, he said, having placed three men in the furnace, he saw four:

“Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. (Dan 3:25)

The king saw the “Son of God” in the same manner as John the Baptist. John saw the form of God go into Jesus, in the bodily shape of Jesus. However, the king saw, not the flesh of the fourth man, but His Divine Genome, as the word, “Son” infers.

Now back to the quanta from the beginning of this chapter.

Quanta is throughout the cosmos. Like God, it is everywhere. Quanta are many small packets and together they make one “quantum” — one packet of almighty potential energy to be released. Once released quantum are dynamically, but when they come to rest, they remain the same packet of energy but are revealed as either particles or a waves. All are the same thing but in different shapes. So, it is with God.

Light is often used to clarify quantum mechanics and so it is with God. When Light is stopped, it is either a photon or a light wave, some of which can be seen and others not seen, depending on their form and frequency.

Quantum mechanics, of course, is not God, but the dynamics of how God works. It is the “yod” that uses the aleph, the El-Shaday — “the Almighty God.”

God is God whatever divine form He takes when stopped for mankind in the same manner as the Almighty Quantum.

Now that light has been converted into firm things does confirm that God is who He says He is.

---

[1] My hypothesis based on Genesis 4:3 a that time began with sin and that Adam’s kind lived what might be called “eons” in human time before sin. It was not immediate as it seems. Nothing is!

THE FATHER FIGURE OF THE HOLY TRINITY

 This is one chapter of my latest book in progress about the Godhead or Holy Trinty.

THE FATHER: 

The son was taken first because He is the “Person” of God. A Person is the visible image of the human soul that thinks, acts, speaks, senses, and chooses. The conscience is within the Person; it is what decides what is best for himself, others, and God. Sin short-circuited the conscience since sin is living without God and the focus is only on the self. Lucifer, as the so-called “Serpent” spoke the truth when He reminded Adam and the woman that they would be as God (Gen 3:5).

Implied within that accusation was that “Father God” would no longer be in them, and they would be emancipated. Hence, they would no longer be sons and daughters of God but gods themselves.

Father means progenitor — the source of one’s genetics. Yahweh was the source of the genetics of Adam and the woman, “God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen 1:27). God later made the bodies of the two, and Adam became the “husbandman” (progenitor for Eve); her genetics were the man’s genetics.

What had God done? He had made the soul of man like His and since “image” is selem in the Hebrew, God had first made the man and woman in phantom. That is the “soul” of both of them which He made before the foundation of the world (Ephes 1:4). How long before is unknown but God soon prepared for them a “house.” The house of the two were bodies from clay as the name Adam implies. Clay is inorganic, consisting only of silicate and aluminate materials. The substance of the glorious bodies of mankind was at first non-organic but glorious.

Copilot made for me a nice new clay trophy of clay as if new, as shown in the graphic following:

 

Figure 1: Vessel of Clay

Glorious Adam, man before sin would appear very much like a shiny new clay vessel. However, inside the vessel was an invisible substance, perhaps “living water.” In other words, the vessel had life and vitality within the “cup” of Adam, then Adam shared his “cup” with the woman.

Adam “multiplied” the Seed of God in that manner, and the woman was to multiply in the same way. God blessed the two and said, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion… (Gen 1:28). They would multiply, not their vessels but the substance within. They had Yahweh within their “cups” and they were to multiply the Seed of God.

Seth was a “son of God.” He was correctly passed down with the nature of Abel, made in the image of his father, Adam. He was righteous. (Mat 23:35). That was the right way to multiply and carnally the wrong way as with Cain who was “of the Wicked One” (1 John 3:12).

All that to explain the “Father” aspect of the Holy Trinity. He is the source of the genetics of glorious man, so anyone that is righteous are in the image, not of their biological father but the Father of the Godhead.

Albeit “Holy Trinity” is not directly in the Bible, “Godhead” is. Speaking of Jesus Christ, Paul wrote, “For in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Col 2:9).

Think of the “Godhead” as a vessel. Why so, because within it dwells God, as the “head,” or Progenitor.

The vessel from Copilot above… that “man” represents Jesus. He is the “cup,” or literally, the vessel of the Father. Now imagine this: take away the vessel and therein remains the Spirit of God in the shape of the vessel. In other words, look at the “cup” and see God, the “Head’ of the Godhead.

Copilot made the vessel in figure #1. It was made from my instructions, but I missed the mark. God — the Head of the Godhead — was not made but always existed. Hence, the substance inside pre-existed the cup. Since, the “Water” inside the cup was living, it took its own shape, but when the cup was made, the Living Water took the shape of the cup just as Luke 3:23 indicates.

The cup is just a container for the “Water” within it. The cup gives the liquid, whatever it was its shape. However, the water, blood, or whatever was there all the time, but the object provided the shape.

The contents inside were as real as the cup itself and the cup only provided shape for the substance within. The liquid substance came first as some cloud, waters, or even genetics in a divine semen. That shapeless substance is The Word that took shape when put into a vessel. Jesus was the rugged vessel before it was completely formed, and the death of Jesus was its finishing process as Jesus said, “It is finished” referring to the Vessel of God… Himself. (John 19:300 “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, He said, “It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”

I had an epiphany while typing that. I thought that vinegar must be used in the making of pottery. I asked Google^®. Google said: 

Did you know that vinegar has several uses in pottery?

In this episode (her video), we explore three excellent ways potters can use vinegar in their work, from helping to stick clay together, to thickening slips and even as an ingredient in making homemade pottery colouring oxides! (Tomlinson 2025)

What was finished at the crucifixion an5d resurrection? The pottery. The “Cup” that was Jesus was finished. It symbolized that Jesus would stick together in this finishing process, and after coming apart at the crucifixion, the Godhard came together at the Resurrection.

Jesus Himself pointed that out:

“He that believes on Me,” as the scripture has said, “out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water,” but this spoke He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:38-39)

Jesus gave up the Holy Ghost and the “Cup” was emptied, leaving a lifeless cup. Life was in the Ghost of the Man all the time, and that Holy Ghost always existed.

About the Godhead it is written:

For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also His offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (Acts 17:28:29)

The “Cup” was organic from its manifestation, but the death and crucifixion made the body glorious, not gold, silver or even stone, but vinegar-finished clay. The vinegar at least symbolized that the Vessel holding the Godhead was finished and glorified just as Jesus foretold.

The Son was the “Vessel” and within that “Cup” was the essence of Father God in the shape of the Cup. Indeed, when anyone saw the cup, the Father was within but unseen. Therefore the “Cup” manifested God, the Father. John knew The Word and said this about Him:

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as He (God) is righteous. He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 John 3:7-8)

There it is; the “Son of God was manifested.”

“Son” therein is the genetics of God; therefore the genetics of God was made manifest and resided in the “Cup” that was the material substance — the Person — Jesus.

We’re most of the way there. Jesus, the Person, is the “Vessel” that held the Spirit of Yahweh — “Father God.” Because the “Cup” can be seen, there must be a liquid inside. Liquids always take the shape of the “Cup.” In this case, the Living Water, meaning the Holy Spirit, took the shape of the Cup, or the body of Jesus.

Jesus overcame the world. How so? When the Holy Spirit left the “Cup” that housed it, the Holy Spirit retained the shape of the “Vessel” it had been in. The Holy Spirit had retained the shape of its container — the Person, Jesus.

What about the Father? The “Father” was the Living Waters” that had no shape before those “Waters” took the shape of Jesus. The Holy Ghost is just the Living Water of God that provides life, that when contained, appeared first as the man, Jesus, but later, as the Spirit in the bodily shape of Jesus.

The “Father” is the Creator aspect of God. “The Word” was how God wa me manifest before the Cup of Jesus was formed. Like Adam was a phantom before His “cup” was formed, the same goes for Jesus. As the “last Adam” He was manifest in the same manner as Adam. His glorified body would have been just like the body of Adam before he sinned.

The Holy Trinity is not three persons or even three substances; the Holy Trinity is three shapes, and The Word always had the shape of Jesus even before Jesus was made manifest.

The shape of the “Father” was like a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, to wit:  “The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night” (Exod 13:21).

God was God, but He manifested Himself as a pillar. The Hebrew “pillar” is a standing column without any specific shape because of the cloud and fire. Imagine both a cloud or fire. Luke wrote about the day of Pentecost:

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting, and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:2-3)

The Father had reappeared as a column of wind to some and as a tongue of fire to others. Again, the Father had manifested Himself without a definite shape. Again, that Power went unto numerous “cups” as each of them were filled.

Jesus had not gone anywhere. He was in Heaven and on Earth at the same time. He was Existence everywhere as the Name Yahweh implies. The Father spread His Spirit everywhere and righteous people were filled with the Power of God in the shape of each person that the Spirit entered. So, in a way, Christ is in Christians but in the shapes of their bodies. All the while, the “Father” is in Jesus on His throne in Heaven. He never left the “Cup” but He himself, rather than Adam, multiplied Himself like Adam should have!

Winds and fires are pillars of energy. The Energy of God created all things. The Word, as John called that creative Power was there in no specific bodily shape. Only when Jesus was formed in the womb did The Word of God take on bodily shape (Luke 3:22).

Remember the vessel of clay in figure #1? That was my imagination. The true vessel of Jesus was not of clay but some unknown substance that was seen as a vessel. The “Cup” or body of Jesus, after the Resurrection was of some substance that theretofore had been invible that was made visible. It was not even of clay but a divine substance that could even pass through form things like the walls of the tomb and of the locked room on the second floor of some building.

That was the “Body” of God all alone, but it was unseen. The organic Jesus was a temporary figure until the real “House of God” that had been invisible all along was made visible. The early believing Christian saw Jesus as He always was. They saw the image that Nebuchadnezzar saw, and with whom Jacob wrestled. They finally saw the frontside of the backside of Jesus that Moses saw!

THE GODHEAD PUT TOGETHER AGAIN

 The Resurrection implies that Jesus overcame the world. God did not die on the Cross, for if He did, there would be no hope for us. When Jesus was "raised" from the dead, that was not "elevated" but literally "assembled" after being disassembled at the crucifixion.

He was broken apart as a divine Adam (meaning "ground"). "At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, 'Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34).

Then the ground broke apart, signifying His body.: "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose" (Mat 27:51). As His Body was broken, so was the ground. As many souls left the dust from which they came, the Invisible God left the "dust" that He was within.

The Holy Trinity was divided into its elements at the crucifixion. When Jesus was raised from the dead, the Divine Substances of God joined together again after being torn asunder.

Once dead, it seemed to many, always dead, but Jesus overcame the world. Although torn apart by the people of the word, the Power of God came upon Jesus and the Man and His Ghost were joined together again.

That was "glorification" and the Shroud of Turin captured that in pictures, I believe. The photograph was the Spirit of God burning the burial cloth of the Man to record the Resurrection for posterity. Indeed, the shroud may be a picture of the Resurrection and is proof that God re-assembled Himself after mankind tore Him apart.

EAT AND DRINK: WHO DO YOU SEE?

After leaving the land of Sin during the exodus from Egypt, the Israelites became thirsty for there was no water to drink.

The people blamed Moses who they believed sought to thirst them to death. Apparently, by then they neither trusted God nor Moses, possibly thinking that Moses was more Egyptian royalty than the spokesman of God.

Moses asked for God to intervene before he himself was stoned by the Israelites. God had a plan and revealed it to Moses: 

Go on before the people and take with you of the elders of Israel; and your rod, wherewith you smote the river, take in your hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb; and you shall smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. (Exod 17:5-6) 

Moses did not perform to standards but by grace God delivered water from a rock anyway.

 

Above is a picture of what is believed to be the rock from which the water flowed.

What has that got to do with anything? It is a foreshadowing of Jesus. You see a dry rock while I see the Image of Jesus. You see dry ground; I see a stream!

Paul wrote to the brothers at Corinth about that same event, “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ” (1 Cor 10:4).

Now can you see Christ Jesus in the rock? Squint tightly. I see invisible water flowing from the crevice of that rock. I see a stream flowing down the mound of stones. 

Jesus, when He had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost, and, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (Mat 17:50-53) 

When Jesus died, what flowed from the rent rocks? Living water from the belly of Jesus (John 7:38). When “One of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and forthwith came there out blood and water” (John 19:34). Then the blood and water flowed through the crevice on Calvary after the quake. God had again split the “Rock” to make the water flow!

What happened when the rock split on Calvary? The dead arose. What happened when God split the rock shown in the picture? The Israelites lived. In both cases it was the living water of God that prevented death, in the first instance, so that the Israelites could live and in the latter case, so that none should perish (John 3:16).

Now look at the rock again. The water is no longer there but neither are dead bodies. Jesus stood before Moses; it was not living water from Moses but from the invisible belly of Jesus.

What did the Jews at the crucifixion miss? That Living Water came from the belly of Jesus, not from Moses. What did the Israelites miss during the exodus? That the water that gave life did not come from Moses but from pre-incarnate Jesus. Jesus has been with them since ancient times, but they failed to see Him.

Even Christians miss Jesus in all respects. When they are nourished, they see food provided by their own hands, but when I eat, I see Jesus feeding me because all things proceed from Him.

 

 

 

 

THE ASSES THAT JESUS RODE TO VICTORY

The Caesar’s had their triumphal entries into the city of Rome when the Roman generals, against all odds, defeated their enemies. Today, we look at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.

I will not take the time to compare the two, other than Caesars rode the way on gallant horses whereas Jesus rode on the back of a donkey. Imagine how silly it would look if Caesar had done that! Jesus was followed by the multitude who praised Him, saying, 

Hosanna to the son of David. Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.  (Mat 21:9) 

First off, consider the Hebrew word, “Hosanna.” It means “save us now” or “save we pray.” Hosanna points toward the ability of Jesus, as the son of David to save them. Indeed kings could always save about anyone they chose. To the multitude, Jesus on the donkey would have been like David on His steed.

They knew that Jesus was not the literal “son” of David, but that the donkey was carrying the genes of David in a humble manner. For them, it was as if David was riding the parade, and a new kind was taking the throne of David.

Although Jesus could save both their bodies and souls by default, it is written: 

Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him (Jesus) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Mat 10:28) 

Jesus had the Power and Authority to either save or perish, and the crowd realized that. They may have praised Jesus that day because the Law could kill their bodies but not their souls. As it turned out, their faith was short-lived, for the following week their faith waned with few of the multitude seriously taking a knee to Jesus who was about to prove that He is God.

As king, Jesus could save their bodies but probably nobody thought that Jesus could also save their souls, or even that their souls was of primary importance to Jesus.

Perhaps, hosanna to them, was the save them now as any king might do. Save them from what? Caesar or his legions? Or save them from the coming wrath of the law that Saul (soon to be Paul) sought for them?

After Saul changed, he revealed the source of the fright:

The very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thes 5:23)

Saying, “hosanna” was asking to be saved now! Paul wrote that after Jesus died and was resurrected. They would be preserved with sanctification until the coming of the Lord, and at that time, they would be saved.

There is a huge difference between preserved and saved. “Preserved” comes from the Greek word, “tereo” — to be guarded. Guarded where? From impure things in the world, just as a vessel properly cleaned can preserve what is within.

On the other hand, “saved” is what remains viable for usage when the container is opened. Indeed, Christ preserves now but saves later. When is a person saved? Upon their expiration date.

Sanctification is Christ guarding us from the world. How is that done? By the Holy Ghost of Jesus who is always with us as “Emauel.”

It was not yet time for hosanna. Salvation would not come now but preservation would soon be.

Salvation is not the flesh: 

Whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see Him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. (1 Pet 1:8-9) 

The following week, Jesus has all but been abandoned for the people wanted salvation right then but by the next week Jesus was not riding in victory but nailed to the cross like a common criminal. They failed to realize that salvation is not now, but when Jesus is ready. When is He ready? At the end of your faith.

Faith is not a one-time event; it is a lifetime commitment. Their hosannas lasted one week. How long will your hosanna last?

According to the key verse, the people said, “Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord.” Jesus did that; He came in the Name “Ya Saves” (Yeshua). However, they called Him, not the “Son of God” but the “son of David.” He came in the name of the Lord, but they saw Him coming as an heir to the throne of David. It would be the royal House of David to whom they were saying their hosannas.

They indeed ran after Jesus and even spread a carpet of palm leaves for Him to ride on. What did not happen? They failed to bless Jesus.

A blessing is another mysterious thing. What does it mean to you? People of all eras have asked kings for blessings, but now they were about to bless the coming king.  

“Blessed” in the Greek is “eulogeo.” The “eu” means good and “logeo” means the “Logos.” They believed that they should speak well of Jesus which they did, but they only mouthed it at that time. The next time, they remained as silent as church mice. Blessed would mean that they understood that Jesus was “The Word” of God in the flesh.

They failed to see Christ on the other animal; the invisible God that was on His steed.  They saw Jesus but not Yahweh. Savvy Jews would have seen Yahweh riding alongside Jesus. In fact, the crucifixion was about one thing: that the man Jesus is the invisible God, and that Jesus is who He said He is: “The Father and I are one” (John 10:30).

The multitude on Palm Sunday should have saw that! Why two donkeys? One for the Father and one for the Son of God; no wonder the foal of a donkey?

They followed but what should good Jews hac done? Blessed Jesus.

They should have eulogized Jesus, acknowledging that He and the Father are One and that He is the spoken Word of God (John 1:1-14).

Jews should have went one step further. Bless in the Hebrew is “barak.” They should have literally taken a knee to Jesus as God since the barak means that.

Asses in ancient times in Hebrew culture were considered to be symbols of service and humility unlike the white steeds of the Caesars who would ride horses to show their power. Vespasian Caesar did that soon after his triumphal entry into Rome after his “foal” Titus destroyed the Temple of God in Jerusalem.

Jesus, via the ass, was Him taking a knee to mankind rather than them taking a knee to Him as some would do in mockery a week later (Mat 27:29).

The ass seems to have been symbolic of the camel who takes a knee to mankind when the domesticated camel kneels to carry the riders. The ass could have represented to letter gimmel in the Hebrew aleph-bet, characterized by the footprint of a camel.

 

 

Figure 1: Camel footprint

 

A camel or an ass; what’s the difference” The rider. The donkey was a beast of burden like the camel, and it seems that the invisible Hebrew letter gimmel that represents the Holy Ghost was at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus riding a donkey.

In a sense, rather then them taking a knee to Jesus, Jesus was taking a knee for them.

Hosanna is just a word, but a blessing is an action. Words cannot save, but taking a knee to Christ does.
