A key concept in the Bible is the
concept of grace. Covenant theology divides existence into covenants
rather than time.
The covenant in the beginning,
for instance, was one of innocence — the knowledge of good alone.
Evil was an unknown concept for
sin had not yet altered the states of Adamic man. Gone unnoticed by most covenant theologians is
that Adam was still the son of God and protected by the grace of God, to wit: “Unto
Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed
them” (Gen 3:21). They were covered, or fixed, by grace.
A covenant is what? In the Hebrew
beriyth — a “cutting”. Hence a covenant is (in the English) “creating”. Hence,
the first act of God was a covenant, “In the beginning God created, or “cut” (bara')
the heaven and the earth” (Gen 1:1). For what reason? Grace. Without revealing
the reason, God “cut” (bara) His Kingdom into two: “heaven” and “earth”.
God is Existence Himself as “I AM”
indicates (Exod 3:14). In a manner of speaking, God crucified Himself into two;
He cut Himself for a purpose — for mankind to exist. If that was a covenant,
it would have been one of generosity as the word “genesis” indicates.
The word “crucify” comes from
Latin language and means to “fix” or to “fasten”.
Jesus said, “It is finished” at the
crucifixion. What was finished? His coming apart; in the beginning God had been
cut, and in the ending fixed, “raised (Greek, egeiro) from the dead.” Egeiro
means that God was assembled
Within the first verse of the
Bible is the word “et” in the Hebrew. It appears twice in that same passage
and in the Hebrew is has no meaning, The Jews are blind to the letters aleph-
tav (אֵת)
in the Word, et.
אֵת stands
between the heaven/the earth. אֵת refers to God/Jesus. אֵת is the beginning and
the end (Rev 1:8), signified by the Greeks words, alpha and omega — the
first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Then Jesus would be the aleph
- tav in the Hebrew. He, as “ET”, would be the beginning and the
end.
In the beginning was only the Aleph, or El (God) and in the
end on the cross, tav, where it was finished.
El is the Existence of God in
Power, Elohim the generation of all things, and the letter tav completion.
In the beginning the Power of God would have been cut for He made all things
from Himself (El) from His Power (Elohim), and covenanted (cut)
Himself into two things, heaven and earth. The sharing of God’s (El’s)
power would be the grace of God and Jesus as both the heaven – earth, Spirit
and Body, made Him whole again.
Since God was cut apart in the beginning, therefore when He gave up the Ghost
in the ending, He was cut apart again as His Spirit separated from His divine
Body.
In the beginning “ET” would have been Aleph, or El,
and the letter tav — the knife of cross that cuts; hence the letter tav
would have been the crucifix where God was fixed and cut apart a second
time, again by grace.
It seems that the only covenant ever was by grace, or favor. In the
beginning God favored Adam’s kind by grace. He looked at all the creatures and
cut them into portions just as He would have the Israelites do at the annual
sacrifice for sin.
The other kinds were there, but God cut the living creatures into parts — Adam’s
kind from all the kinds. Adam was favored; hence a second act of grace comes
from the beginning as well:
God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” (Gen 1:26)
“Let us make” in that passage is simply the Hebrew word, “asa” (עָשָׂה). The word “us” is not even in there. Literally,
asa is ayin – shin – hey: ayin observation, shin biting,
and hey the breath of God. God had again divided the waters from the
waters — the seed from the seed — and Adam, of all the kinds, was favored
by God. “Dominion” indicates that Adam was favored above all the other kinds.
That too was an act of grace.
Then after God’s favored kind, Adam, failed, “Noah found grace” (Gen 6:8).
Grace pre-existed Noah but he was not hunting for it, albeit was freely given
to him from God. Noah would have been the antitype of Adam born again. The
sacred Book of Jasher indicates that Noah was born a favored kind even
in the womb.
Grace seems to be when the “Seed” of God enters the flesh of a mere man.
Hence, “born again” is just that. However, the seed of God is not semen, but “Living
Waters” from His “Belly” (John 7:38). Hence living waters would be the Elohim
from God’s sole existence, El and perhaps the “belly” in that metaphor.
Grace would be the distribution of the Elohim from El.
It is critical to understand that there were not many gods but one
God (El) who came apart (Elohim) to enter other things, among
them mankind.
El would be the bearer of
grace and Elohim His dynamic grace of virtue, or goodness. Adam would have
had Elohim from El put into his body. The word, “dominion” from
the Hebrew means “crumble”. A particle of Elohim would have entered
Adam, and not the other creatures.
Metaphorically, Adam crumbled from Almighty God (El Shaday). The
mightiness of God would be ample grace to do all things. Scientifically, grace
is akin to God distributing the quantum Power from Himself and giving power to those
of His kind — Adam.
The Hebrew word hen (or chen) is translated as “grace”. Its
letters are חֵן — chet – nun.
The letter nun represents seed or sperm. It would have come from
something — chet. Chet purveys the idea of new beginnings,
or a new creation, as in, “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Cor 5:17).
For grace, the chet would indicate newness and the nun a
creature. Hence, grace is a transformation from an old creature to a new
creature. God did that and so does the Spirit of God in Jesus — the El
in Yeshua (Jesus).
Jesus sits at the right hand in the Power (Elohim) (Mat 26:24) of God
(El). Elohim flows from the Person of God Jesus as “dynamos”
(virtue). Therefore, the virtue leaving Jesus to make whole would have been the
Elohim from El within the Person of God, Jesus. Again the “substance”
of grace would be the Power of God, unseen but as real as any infinite
horsepower engine.
Grace was sufficient enough in the beginning to make all things from God, El,
Himself, and so it will be at the regeneration of all things: Speaking of the
Tree of Life when the Garden Paradise is restored, John saw “the leaves of the Tree
(of Life) were for the healing of the nations” (Rev 22:2) — therapeia ho
ethnos, a “rendering of a multitude of individuals of the same nature or
genus”
Coming from the Revelation, grace is the last act of God to render
some of the old creatures, new creatures, not literally from the leaves of a
tree, but the Elohim of the firm Thing of God, Jesus.
Grace always emanates from God in whatever form or state that He appears.
Grace is as real as God. To understand the reality of God, God manifested
Himself as the divine man, Jesus. John also saw the El in Jesus
transforming (Elohim) others by grace: “(Jesus) manifested forth His
glory; and his disciples believed on Him” (John 2:11).
The Body of God — Jesus — emanated the glory of God to transform His
disciples. Grace would be the emanation of the Glory, or Light (Elohim),
of God (El). Of course, Light is ‘or in the Hebrew, but Elohim
would be the Light of God shining forth. The substance of that dynamic
would be the distribution of grace from God.
Light is also called truth (1 John 1:5). Truth is reality, is it not? About
God the psalmist sang, “O send out Your light and Your truth” (Psalm 43:3). God
is the Light and its emanation is the truth. Jesus is the reality of God (El)
and Elohim His truth.
Like Plato and Pilate, ask yourselves, “What is truth?” Jesus revealed the
truth at the crucifixion; that He was El, Elohim, and the Person
of God in one — Father, Holy Ghost, and Son, respectively.
Grace therefore comes from God
without charge, “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephes 2:8).
Can you emanate God? No! Do you
trust that God emanates Elohim to cut a new person from the old creature?
Can you do that? If not, then you are not Jesus.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Heb 11:1)
Faith is the substance of grace,
and it is the hope of reality. Hope is cognitive. So, you have faith; it is not
of yourselves but from God. Faith according to Paul is that Jesus is the
evidence of the unseen God, so trusting Jesus is the Way; to what? Life (the Hebrew
letter chet).
Life (chet) comes from the
Light of God, or truth. The repentant thief on the cross alongside Jesus
encountered truth; that Jesus was (and remains so) God in the flesh. He
encountered grace with that realization, so the substance of truth and grace is
not works (ergo) but thoughts (katergazomai); to work out
salvation how so? By cognition, considering Jesus and seeing the invisible
God. Nothing else saves but coming to that realization, the same as when the thief
encountered God in the flesh of a common man and realize that He could save him
from Hell.
The substance of grace was that realization.
Jesus showed the man His three states — Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and all
the man had to do was nothing, but consider the truth and conform to it. Hence,
the Substance of grace is surely the Thoughts of God.
Scientifically, that is called quantum
entanglement. The thief was not physically entangled, but his thoughts were
from Jesus. Jesus persuaded the man that He was God in the flesh by His actions.
Grace is therefore divine illumination — truth from the Mind of God. You cannot
illuminate yourself, but God can.
