Could the tomb discovered in Talpiot, Jerusalem actually contain the Family of Jesus? Here is some information that may shock you: it is entirely possible. Here’s how.

The main problem with facing up to the evidence, such as it is, is that it is threatening to centuries old Christian thought. The idea that the one we call Jesus could have been married was scary enough. But to now find the remains of a body in an ossuary with Yeshua bar Yosef (Aramaic) written on it next to another box with the name of Mariamene e Mara written on it, and another box with Yehuda bar Yeshua. This is pretty scary stuff for traditional Christians.

The reason for this is twofold: Christians are following traditions and beliefs imposed by a church with no real evidence for the claims that:

• Jesus never could have been married: “Sex is a sinful practice.”
• Jesus’s body was never left on the earth: “The Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Body.”

Both of these reasons or doctrines are false.

In this blog article, I am going to present from Scriptures why both of these teachings are false and describe what really happened, Theologically, and why.

See this post for the truth about what really happened at the time of the death and resurrection.

Could Jesus have been married and have children?

From a rational analysis, one could only answer that question with “Yes” to both counts. He could have been married. He could have had children. There is no Law against it in the Torah or any where else. Therefore, it would not have been sin for him to have loved and married a woman and had children by her.

Like many I had to face this question because of a fascinating book: The DaVinci Code. It was another instance that Theologians often face: “How do you account for the smoke, if there was no fire?”

So we are now faced with only confusion coming from religious doctrine and tradition. Why would he marry?

I wrote in other blogs, the one we call Jesus was Eyahushuah in Hebrew. (Look up the name in the Englishman’s Hebrew Concordance. That is where I found the spelling of “Joshua” that I transliterate here from the Hebrew with emphasis on all the long vowel sounds of ancient Hebrew, not modern Hebrew.)

Eyahushuah was the name of Eyahuwah who came in the flesh to make things right. Is it a good thing for Man (includes both male and female) that the Creator go about his business without experiencing first hand everything that his creation has to go through to make it in this world? And is it not a good thing for the One who made the life and death covenants with his people to remove the debt they owed by becoming one of them and taking that debt upon himself? He had to be just like they were.

And to be a faithful High Priest did not he also have to experience everything they had to experience so that He could understand and show mercy and give them help? And would that exclude one of the most important commitments they have to make: marriage and children? Of course not! He had to go through it all and especially marriage and family. Where are our biggest problems today worldwide? Not in war, but in family!

Unlike Adam, who failed miserably with both his wife and his children, Eyahushuah had to set the record straight and take that on himself. He did! And he did it right!

Although I have heard Christians squirrel around the second chapter of John, there is no reasoning that can conclude that it is NOT Eyahushuah’s own wedding. Only days before, he called his disciples and had them come to the wedding. Who else but the bridegroom would have invited them? Then when they ran out of wine, his mother came and told him, and he replied, “What is that to us? My time has not come.” But she appeared to ignore this and told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Mother was not taking any guff from him. So he told them what to do and also told them to take this wine to the master of the banquet (the head waiter.) Then when the head waiter found out that this wine was better than other, he felt he had to teach a lesson to the bridegroom on when to serve the good wine and the not-so-good. The bridegroom didn’t say anything in reply. Then:

After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and disciples. There they stayed a few days.

In other words, the party continued at Jesus’s home!

I get suspicious at this point. I would not be surprised if some over zealous and fear ridden church official didn’t erase the part about Mary Magdalene from this passage and maybe some other stuff to make it appear that this was someone else’s wedding. They did with other scriptures, so much so that John added a curse at the end of the book of Revelation.

The Christian world stood aghast when they found out it was written down that Jesus kissed Mary of Magdalene “often.” But no one seemed to bring up another verse found in the Gospel of Philip 36:

There were three Mariams who walked with the Lord at all times: his mother and [his] sister and (the) Magdalene°— this one who is called his Companion°. Thus his (true) Mother and Sister and Mate is (also called) ‘Mariam’.

The word translated “Companion,” even though this is Coptic, is a borrowed Greek word koinonos. Now the interesting thing with this word is the company it keeps in the Greek Lexicon. I happened to own an 1840 copy of Donnegan’s lexicon. In there koinonos is related to words that mean the “relationship between a man and a woman,” “put someone to bed,” “a pregnant women,” “intercourse” and “someone you sleep with.” The word translated “mate” in the analysis refers to a union with a binding contract! In other words, one you are united with or bound with, or more simply: married to.

Jesus’s Body: Explained in His Own Words

I explained above that Eyahuwah became one name Eyahushuah whom we call Jesus. In order for him to become like us in every way, there really should be no difference. If we die, he dies. If we have to lie in a grave, then he did, too.

But there is one thing he experienced that we have yet before us. He is called the Firstborn from the dead. But when we die, we are among those who are “in their graves.” We don’t go to heaven when we die. That would make us, starting with Adam, those who preceded Him. But that is not what we are to understand. He is the Firstborn, the Wave Sheaf Offering, which is why he had to restrain Mary Magdalena: “Tell my brothers that I must go to My Father and Your Father, and to My Elahim (Family) and Your Elahim (Family).”

Enoch’s prophecy about that day and age told that “In it a man would ascend.” Eyahuwah’s experience is more like ours than we even care to imagine. It is not like Enoch’s or Elijah’s. Their experience was different. Enoch did not die. He was “translated” from one domain to another. Elijah was taken by a chariot. They were exceptions. But Eyahuwah could not be an exception. He had to be like us “in every way.”

So what happened?

He died and his body was placed in a tomb by his great uncle, Mary’s uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, who happened to be one of the richest men in the entire known world! Joseph of Arimathea was referred to by the Romans as ‘Nobilis Decurio’ or Minister of Mines to the Roman Government. He owned ships that transported commodities all over the Roman Empire. He mined tin and lead from the hills of southwest England. In fact, as I wrote in another blog, the lyrics of the English song, Jerusalem, tell about Jesus’s feet walking on England’s green and pleasant hills. Whether this is true or not, this was NOT a poor family as many assume.

Let’s take a look at the resurrection

After his death Jesus was placed in Joseph’s tomb and closed in with a huge stone. This was at the close of the day of Passover and just before the High day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It was also a short time before the start of the fourth day of the week at evening. Three days and three nights later, the tomb opened and Jesus was raised from the dead. And this is where nearly everybody gets lost.

The women didn’t come to the tomb on “Easter Sunday.” They came immediately after the weekly Sabbath, at evening after sunset and they found the tomb empty and Jesus’s grave clothes neatly folded at the foot of the place where they left his body. Also a messenger ask them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” Pretty amazing. They came to the tomb, a place where the dead are placed, and Jesus wasn’t there. And neither was his body!

If you are trying to help people understand the reality of the resurrection, do you think it would be wise to leave the body lying around? That would create confusion. The body must be moved, hidden, set aside or otherwise taken care of. Then you reveal the resurrected person.

The nonsense of the doctrine of the “resurrection of the body” has done nothing but confuse the entire Christian community and made a spectacle out of them to the rest of the world. That was never the way it was going to happen.

When I talked with my mom before she died in December of 2005, I told her that she would have no knowledge of her death. Instead it would be like the great sleep we may have experienced as a child or when camping in the open air. There was no knowledge of the sleep. Instead, you close your eyes and open them and it is morning. I loved that kind of sleep.

But I also told her that she would no longer have her cancer ridden body. Instead she would look at her hands and body and find that it is new and yet mature, like a very healthy young adult, not a child, but a full grown adult, maybe in as she might have been in her early thirties. My mom died laughing.

Do you really want to be raised from the dead only to find that you still have your same, sick body. I wouldn’t. Jesus’s body was beaten to shreds. He might even have lost his vision in one of his eyes. His ribs were showing. His cheeks were torn and his teeth were exposed. His back was ripped open and in some places muscle tissue was exposed and hanging loose. He didn’t even look human anymore!

It was not the body that was raised, it was the person and he was given a new healthy body. But to help his disciples understand that it was him, he had to give them some of his wounds, like the nail holes and the spear hole. Those were his, he could do what he wanted. But it was in a new, fresh body, like we all will have when we are also raised from the dead.

Not let me ask you a question. Out of all the disciples, who could Jesus confide in regarding the remains of his former body? As far as I see there was only one: His wife and close companion, Mary Magdalena! She was the only one he could tell where the old body was, why it was there, and what to do with it. And to keep this to herself.

What did Jesus, Eyahushuah and Eyahuwah say?

He told Thomas: “Stop doubting and believe!”

He told Nicodemus: “I tell you the truth, unless a Man [includes both men and women] is born of water [human] and of the Spirit [not human], he cannot enter the Kingdom of God [Elahim]. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but Spirit gives birth to Spirit. You must not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again [born from above].’”

It is sad that we have corrupted the meaning of the saying, “You must be born again.”

I really hope that these really are the bones of Jesus and his wife and family. Nothing would be more in keeping with the Gospel.

How many saviors are there? Sometimes human arrogance reaches such heights that it is beyond believability. This is particularly so among religions. Many assume that they “must save the world.” But can they?

A couple of days ago I listened to a preacher on a podcast, or Internet radio, I don’t remember which. He was talking about “prophecy.” He made a big point about how the audience would escape the hell fire through the “rapture,” but those that were “left” would go through the great tribulation and be destroyed because they didn’t believe. At that the audience laughed and applauded.

Actually, the words “believe in Jesus” really mean trust rather than a belief in some doctrine or creed. It means to have confidence in what he will do on our behalf. But, and this is important, he will do what he promised and will perform the tasks — whether we believe it or not.

In other words, the prophecies and promises, made by Eyahuwah in the Hebrew Scriptures, and who is the one we call “Jesus,” whose name is “Eyahushuah” will be carried out whether we believe in what he said or even know about it.

But we are better off if we know and become spiritually connected with the Family of Elahim otherwise known as the Kingdom of Heaven or God, whose intent was to make Man in their image and likeness, and to bring the Man beings into the Eternal Life!

How in the face of such religious confusion will anyone ever come to understand how this is going to work — not just for a few, but for all?

In another blog article, I took “our beloved brother Paul” to task. I won’t repeat here what I wrote in that article, you can read it, if you have not done so already. No, I want to make a point: I want to give you the good news (gospel) and not once make any reference to anything Paul wrote. Why? Because it is not necessary. The Apostles didn’t quote or preach from his writings. And if I understand what was written in 2 Peter, Paul’s writings consisted of his own “private interpretations” and a bunch of his own rules ala Phariseeism. In short, we need to understand from all the gospel, or good news, from all other Scriptures first — before we even begin to read what Paul wrote.

Jesus, whose name is “Eyahushuah” (Hebrew), said this to his disciples:

“Who do men say that I the Son of man am?”
And they said, “Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.”
He said to them, “Who do you say I am?
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ [the Chosen One], the Son of the living God.”
Eyahushuah replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah: for flesh and blood has not revealed it to you, but my Father in heaven. And I say also to you, That you are Peter [Petros: a small pebble], and upon this rock [a huge boulder] I will build my church [assembly of people]; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 16:15-19

There are several things that are commonly assumed and misunderstood about this.

First: the word “Church” is a mistranslation. We assume that a church is a building, a sect, denominations or religious institution. The word “ekklesia” references a group of people who are “called from,” an “assembly of citizens,” congregation, or very simply, “Them.” It implies no organization with rules, regulations, oaths, programs, buildings, or anything like that. We get our English, “ex” and “ec” from the Greek “ek.” For example: eccentric, external.

The word “church” should be stricken from all translations and replaced with something that makes sense. The word “Church” has no etymology back to “ekklesia.” Some claim that it goes back to the Greek word “kurios,” which means either “belonging to a lord” [genitive] or “lord” [masculine]. The word is never translated “Church.” Essentially, the word “church” comes from an ex-biblical source and was imposed upon the word “ekklesia”!

In the 1500s Tyndale refused to use the word “Church” in his English translations and instead used the word “congregation.” The Church, of course, who opposed translations in the native language of the people, considered this heresy and eventually hatched a plot to take Tyndale prisoner. He was later tied to a pole, strangled by the hangman and set on fire.

Second: Notice the play on words. This is usually missed:

• “Son of Man” (Eyahushuah),
• “the Christ [Messiah], Son of the Living God” (Peter),
• “Simon son of Jonah” (Eyahushuah to Peter).

Third, the point of the conversation is “revealed” knowledge coming very specifically from the Father in Heaven. It has nothing to do with making Peter the “founder of the church.” Peter is only a pebble, when you consider the truth that was revealed to him: identity of Eyahushuah
Fourth: Upon the huge immovable rock of a connection with the Father, he said “I will build.”

He didn’t say that “they” would build, or that any who came after them would build, but he said, “I will build my ekklesia (my group of people)” indicating that He was going to be around for a long time.

How was the building going to take place? Through a spiritual connection with Elahim that would provide a means for revealed knowledge from the Father to flow into the world. Not by human effort, but by spiritual power on a person by person basis.

Now that is the work of a Savior!

Where else have we heard words like that? Below is a partial list of statements from the Scriptures where the speaker, either going by the name of Eyahuwah or Eyahushuah made promises about what he would or would not do.

Before human existence came to the earth:

Eyahuwah Elahim said, “It is not good for Man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis2:18

To Noah:

Eyahuwah said to Noah, “Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty night, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

To Abram:

Eyahuwah said to Abram: “Get out of your country, and from your people, and from your father’s house, go to a land I will show you. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and curse him that curses you; and all peoples of the earth will be blessed through you.” Gen 12:1-3

And throughout the rest of the Scriptures we find statements like (all are direct quotes from the New International Version):

“Even if you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; and if you offer many prayers, I will not listen.”

“I will get relief from my foes.”

“I will turn my hand against you.”

“I will thoroughly purge away your dross and remove your impurities.”

“I will restore your judges.”

“I am going to open up your graves and bring you up from them.”

“I will put my spirit in you and you will live.”

“I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land in the mountains of Israel.”

“I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people [see above], and I will be their Elahim.”

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me.”

“Look! I am coming soon. My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.”

“I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on ME, the one they have pierced, and mourn for HIM as one mourns for an only child.”

“On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more,” declares Eyahuwah Almighty. “I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land.”

“I am Eyahuwah your Elahim who brought you out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no Elahim but me, no Savior except me!”

I could continue with this for the rest of the week. There are so many statements that tell us what Eyahuwah/Eyahushuah will do. And yes, this entity is one and the same. The Hebrew Scriptures are filled with the message of the Gospel. And the promises of peace, safety, health, long life, and greatness are the future of human kind.

Only this Savior makes these statements about what he will do. And He never forgets or goes back on His Word.

The Book of Genesis says only a little, and what it does say has been the subject of criticism, speculations, and controversy. What went on before is unknown to almost everyone. And it profits us very little to speculate. Where does that leave us?

There are some very old stories from a number of cultures that tell about mythological beings and events. These are passed down from generation to generation and tell of super beings and great animals that created through various means the stars and the sun, the earth, the sky and everything on the earth. These are interesting, but not helpful. We are still faced with the unknown of what really happened before.

So it is with Genesis 1:1.

“In the beginning Elahim created the heavens and the earth.”

There are even more perplexing questions. Where did Elahim come from? Or did Elahim always exist? Can these questions be answered by science, or by psychology, or physics, or by philosophy? Can our senses of touch, sight, smell, taste, or hearing give us clues about an existence that was not, but now is? Will the “scientific method” uncover these mysteries?

Physics can only contemplate back to the beginning of the universe and no further. Historians are faced with the dilemma of what happened more than 5,000 years ago. Any further back and they enter into what they call the time of prehistory. Geologists and Paleontologists face the same limits. All of those who specialize in these disciplines are forced at some point to rely on inference and speculation based upon a descriptive scenario. And when they have finished their discourse, there is always the specter of what happened before.

Clues from the Apostle Thomas and a young Jesus

According to Indian sources and traditions, Thomas, the Apostle, went to India to preach. He was killed by an angry Indian priest and was buried there. Indian literature and tradition also tell that Jesus [Hbr. Eyahushuah in his youth also went to India, not once but twice, and he read and understood the Veda, and taught from it. According to the tradition, after some time he had to flee from the Brahmanas because he taught that the caste system is evil and should not be used to judge the worth of human beings. He challenged the authority of the priests to rule over people by imposing their law upon them. Whether or not such things are true is hard to say. Anyone can have an opinion on such things, but opinions, polls, and votes are worthless.

The English song "Jerusalem" poses a similar question of the possiblity that Jesus walked on "England's pleasant pastures:"

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic Mills?

And well he might have, as Joseph of Arimethea, one of the richest men in the world and Jesus' uncle, mined tin from those hills, but that is another story. Regardless, we are left only with the "smoke" indicating that at one time there might have been some real evidence to support the claims from both India and England.

The Veda, however, considered the oldest existing documents, go back more than 5,000 years and may have existed before the great flood. Do these contain any information that can shed some light on this problem? The Upanishads of Indian Spiritually, among the oldest documents on earth, are derived from the Veda. There is spiritual wisdom in the Upanishads that may be able to shed some light on the problem of understanding what happened before the beginning. Here is an example:

From the infinite Godhead came forth Brahma,
First among the gods, from whom sprang the cosmos.
Brahma gave the vision of the Godhead,
The true source of wisdom that life demands.
…
The illumined sages say
Knowledge is twofold, higher and lower.
The study of the Vedas, linguistics,
Rituals, astronomy, and all the arts
Can be called lower knowledge. The higher
Is that which leads to Self realization.
The eye cannot see it; mind cannot grasp it.
The deathless Self has neither caste nor race,
Neither eyes nor ears nor hands nor feet.
Sages say this Self is infinite in the great
And in the small, everlasting and changeless,
The source of life.
…
The deathless Self meditated upon
Himself and projected the universe
as evolutionary energy.
From this energy developed life, mind,
The elements, and the world of karma,
Which is enchained by cause and effect.
The deathless Self sees all, knows all.
From him springs Brahma, who embodies the process
Of evolution into name and form
By which the One appears to be many.
from the Mundaka Upanishad, Part 1, Chapter 1.

At first glance this appears to be another account of the creation. However, it portrays more than just the creation of the universe, it includes the creation of a Creator as well. Such possibility would make religious leaders cringe. According to the Upanishads, it is through Brahma that the Godhead is revealed. But Brahma "came forth from." The deathless Self is the One that appears as many. This seems to say that the Self is in everything including you and me!

Understanding the Apostle John's First Chapter

Compare the above with what is written in John 1.

In the beginning was the Word [Grk. Logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This One was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him; and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of men. And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness does not overpower it. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

The Aramaic word meltha, from which the Greek logos may have been translated, means both “Word” and “Manifestation.” When considered together this seems to say that a spoken “Word” from El or Elah [God] brought into existence a “Manifestation” of the “Word” in the form of a Spirit Being. And that Spirit Being became a flesh being and dwelt among us!

The Indian documents say that Light is truth (satya). Darkness is untruth (asatya). This Spirit Being was destined to become a flesh being to bring Light (truth) to the world. The Mundaka Upanishad reveals even more about lower and higher forms of knowledge and those who only know the lower form:

Ignorant of their ignorance, yet wise
In their own esteem, these deluded men
Proud of their vain learning go round and round
Like the blind led by the blind.
Living in darkness, immature, unaware
Of any higher good or goal, they fall
Again and again into the sea.

But those who are pure in heart, who practice
Meditation and conquer their senses
And passions, shall attain the immortal Self,
Source of all light and source of all life.

Action prompted by pleasure or profit
Cannot help anyone to cross this sea.

Seek a teacher who has realized the Self.
To a student whose heart is full of love,
Who has conquered his senses and passions,
The teacher will reveal the Lord of Love.

We are quoting from material that is older than 3,500 years. Yet it reads like the Scriptures: Blind leading the blind, willingly ignorant, living in darkness. However, it also says that in order to come in contact with the One, the deathless Self, we must abandon science, rituals, sacrifices: any of the lower knowledge. And through meditation, which is the Way of the deathless Self, we can become one with the source of Life and can attain immortality!

Creation Starts Before the Beginning of Genesis 1:1

In the Aitareya Upanishad is another poetic story of the creation. It says:

Before the world was created, the Self alone existed;
Nothing whatever stirred.
Then the Self thought: “Let me create the world.”
He brought forth all the worlds out of himself:
Ambhas, high above the sky;
Marichi, the sky;
Mara, the middle region that is earth;
And Apa, the realm of waters below.
The Self thought: “I have created these worlds.
Let me now create guardians for these worlds.”
From the waters he drew Purusha
And gave him a form.

In these verses the Self creates worlds. Then the Self creates Purusha, which means “God!” The document goes on to tell that after creating the elements of earthly existence, then human beings, and then finally the Self manifests himself in meditation and Pure consciousness:

Who is this Self on whom we meditate?
Is it the Self by which we see, hear, small, and taste,
Through which we speak in words?
Is Self the mind by which we perceive, direct, understand,
Know, remember, think, will, desire and love?
These are but servants of the Self, who is Pure consciousness.
This Self is all in all.
He is all the Gods.

The Aitareya Upanishad is from the Rig Veda, perhaps one of the oldest spiritual documents. “Veda” means “knowledge.” The Rig Veda contains many references to one called Manu. He is the father of all living. He carried precious seed into the new world in his Ark. With him were Seven Sages who along with Manu possessed great spiritual knowledge. A great flood destroyed the old world, and only Manu and the Seven Sages survived. From “Father Manu” came the knowledge and wisdom of his Holy Ones, called Gods. The Rig Veda is considered to contain Manu’s revealed wisdom! All of the “Enlightened Ones” were considered to be Manu’s progeny. The parallels between Manu and Noah are hardly a coincidence.

Few people have read the words of this Spiritual book. The words speak of One, called Self, who is Pure consciousness. Through this One through meditation upon Himself, came all that exists out of Himself, including all the Gods, who are also called the Guardians. The One called Self is the same as the One called El or Elah in Hebrew.

Spiritual Meditation Opens the Way

We can receive from Self or Elah through meditation. The first that we can receive is realization of the existence of the Self or Elah. Then after that from the Self will follow understanding and wisdom. And from the union of these two, the Self gives us higher knowledge.

Much of this material is classed as mysticism. This is a subject that, although it can be explained, is often hard to comprehend. However, a common thread runs through all mysticism regardless of the culture. Contact with Intelligence, Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Power, Love and Life is possible through meditation. Therefore, this reality is comprehended only those who have gone through the discipline of meditation. Nothing is experienced by talking or reading about it.

If you only read about meditation you may learn of the techniques, terms, and experiences of others. This is the “lower” knowledge. However, when you meditate and make contact with the Self, with Elah, with the One, you move to the “higher” knowledge. Meditation can be explained (lower knowledge), but only until it has been successfully experienced through practice can it be truly realized (higher knowledge). This experience is called “Self realization,” “Elahl consciousness,” “Walking with Elahim,” which is what I mean by the “Elahim Connection.” This was experienced by the Fathers, the Prophets, and by the Apostles and continues to this day.

As described in the verses above, there are two kinds of knowledge: higher and lower. Most of the efforts of humans are concentrated and dependent upon the lower knowledge described above. What is described here is the way to higher knowledge: that which can give us knowledge about what existed before the beginning as well as understanding about now and about the future. That is not possible using the lower knowledge and its tools alone.

Enoch’s Vision of Events Before the Beginning

Enoch the great-grandfather of Noah, saw a flashback vision of events that happened before the beginning:

And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness which was inexhaustible;
And around it were many fountains of wisdom;
And all the thirsty drank of them and were filled with wisdom; and their dwelling were with the righteous and holy and elect.
And at that hour the Son of Man was named in the presence of the Lord of spirits, and his Name before the Head of Days.
Yes, before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of heaven were made, His Name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
He shall be a staff to the righteous whereon to stay themselves and not fall, and he shall be the light of the Gentiles, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart.
And all who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before him, and will praise and bless and celebrate with song the Lord of Spirits.
And for this reason he has been chosen and hidden before Him, before the creation of the world and for evermore.
1 Enoch 48: 1-3

A Message from Noah’s Son Ham

Then he saw a being called the Son of Man who was given a Name. Enoch was the seventh generation from Adam and the great-grandfather of Noah. From his father Enoch Noah received the spiritual heritage that passed through to the new world after the great flood. Therefore it should not be a surprise to find that the Egyptians (sons of Noah’s son Ham), developed a major religious system whose God sounds very familiar. The following is a collection of passages from The Egyptian Book of the Dead:

God is one and alone, and none other exists with him.
God is the One who made all things.
God is a spirit, a hidden spirit, the spirit of spirits, the great spirit of the Egyptians, the divine spirit.
God is from the beginning, and he has been from the beginning. He has existed from old and was when nothing else had being. He existed when nothing else existed, and what exists He created after He had come into being. He is the Father of beginnings.
God is the eternal One. He is eternal and infinite and endures for ever and aye.
God is hidden and no man knows his form. No man has been able to seek out His likeness; He is hidden to gods and men, and He is a mystery unto his creatures. No man knows how to know him. His name remains hidden; His name is a mystery unto His children. His names are innumerable. They are manifold and none knows their number.
God is truth and He lives by truth and He feeds thereon. He is the king of truth, and He has established the earth thereupon.
God is life, and through Him only, man lives. He gives life to man. He breathes the breath of life into his nostrils.
God is father and mother, the father of fathers, and the mother of mothers. He begets, but was never begotten. He produces, but was never produced. He begat Himself and produced Himself. He creates, but was never created. He is the maker of His own form, and the fashioner of His own body.
God Himself is existence. He endures without increase or diminution. He multiplies Himself millions of times, and He is manifold in forms and in members.
God has made the universe, and He has created all that therein is. He is the creator of what is in this world, and of what was, of what is, and of what shall be. He is the creator of the heavens, and of the earth, and of the deep, and of the water, and of the mountains.
God has stretched out the heavens and founded the earth. What his heart conceived straightway came to pass, and when He has spoken, it comes to pass and endures forever.
God is the father of the gods. He fashioned and formed the gods.
God is merciful unto those who reverence him, and He hears him that calls upon Him. God knows him that acknowledges Him. He rewards him that serves Him. And He protects him that follows Him.

We Are the Offspring of a Line of Spiritual and Righteous Fathers

The entire human race comes from a line of righteous fathers. Our fathers, from Adam, Seth, Enoch Noah and his sons and there wives, and the fathers in between, all had what can be called the Elahim Connection. This means that we, all people, have a very powerful spritual heritage through them. Therefore, we need to get back to the spiritual connection they had! If we fail to do this, and instead continue in our wickedness, then the world will fall under a great curse, and, like the population of humans before the flood, millions of people will perish before we enter the Eighth Age prophesied by our father Enoch through a vision.

Conclusion: It is evident that Existence transcends comprehension using the “standard” means of learning knowledge. There is the nagging of problem of what happened before that cannot be answered using scientific methods and the five senses. For thousands of years humans from many cultures have found a common way to gain wisdom and understanding through meditation. The combination of wisdom and understanding opens the door to realization through the Self that exists within each person and in all. There is a spiritual oneness that links a weak and mortal human being with the One who planned before the beginning that immortality and spiritual life was the ultimate manifestation to be experienced by His Creation.

In the beginning was only Being,
One without a second.
Out of himself he brought forth the cosmos
And entered into everything in it.
There is nothing that does not come from him.
Of everything he is the inmost Self.
He is the truth; He is the Self supreme.

What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we beheld and our hands handled, concerning the Word of Life –
and the Life was manifested, and we have seen and bear witness and proclaim to you the Eternal Life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us.
1 John 1

From the time Before the Beginning of Genesis 1:1, it was the desire and intention of the One, the El or Elah, to start a process that carried from “thought” to a “Kingdom” of immortal, righteous, and pure beings: Us!

But we are not living our destiny — yet!

Spiritual life starts with a spiritual connection. Our early and spiritual fathers had this. In this blog you will find key information that can lead to the most powerful Spiritual Connection you can ever find. And you don’t have to join any religion to get it. Although it is FREE, its real value is beyond any imaginable price!

In these words, you will find a transliteration of Eyahuwah foras the name is made of four ancient Hebrew vowels (not the modern Hebrew Masoretic consonants). This name was probably sung or intoned in the Temple and would have sounded like “ee-ah-oo-ah”. When the vowels sounds are connected then the transitional consonants sounds “y”, “h” and “w” naturally form and the sound resembles “eeyahhoowah”.

Now regarding the one we call “Jesus.” The name, Jesus, is Greek that came from Latin. It is a Roman name, not Hebrew. Actually, he had more than one name. “His name shall be called Immanuel,” said one Messenger. More on this later …

The reason I use Eyahuwah rather than LORD is to help our minds break free from the iconolatry associated with the more popular Greek and Latin names. Religions have done a good job of programming our minds into thinking what they want us to think when we hear the words God, Lord and Jesus.

“Yahweh”, “Yahveh” and “Jehovah” are very poor pronunciations of. These will not be used either. The use of the English letters YHVH foris based upon the modern Hebrew consonants that evolved from the transitional sounds when saying or singing the ancient Hebrew long vowels that made up the letters of the Name: “ee ah oo ah.” Try it. You will find that “ee ah” forms the sound “yah.” Also you will hear that “ah oo” sounded together becomes “ah-hoo,” and “oo ah” becomes “oowah.”

Although we could use our English transliteration Jesus, which is from the Greek word (pronounced “ee-yay-soos”), I would rather introduce the name Eyahushuah for this reason: there is a very strong spiritual connection between Eyahuwah and Eyahushuah. Reading from right to left, notice the three letters at the beginning of both names. Eyahushuah is the transliteration of the Hebrew name of the one we call Jesus. The corresponding English name is Joshua. If you have read some of the other articles on this blog, you would have found that Jesus’s Hebrew name is very much like the name, Eyahuwah, weakly translated LORD in the “Old” Testament or Hebrew Scriptures.

Eyahuwah is the One with whom our fathers had a very powerful relationship. It was Eyahuwah who covenanted with Abraham using the phrase “I will do it.” He promised to make certain that the promises He made to all of the fathers would be carried out.

Should it be considered strange that there was a Son of the Most High whose name was Eyahushuah? And that in the Domain of Elahim or “Kingdom of God or Heaven,” there was also a Son of Man whose name was revealed to the fathers as Eyahuwah?

The name Eyahushuah means: “Eyahuwah is the One who will save us” or “Eyahuwah our Savior”.

“She gave birth to a Son, and you are to give him the name Eyahushuah, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21 NIV

“He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God [Eyahuwah Elahim] will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, his kingdom will never end.”
Luke 1:32-33 NIV

Note: throughout the writings, I will refer to the English translation of “Lord God” in both the Old and New Testaments as Eyahuwah Elahim, which is the literal transliteration of the Hebrew and the intended meaning of the Greek, though lost in translation.

Promises, Covenants

The throne of David was established upon this promise made to David, by Eyahuwah through the prophet Nathan:

Eyahuwah declares to you that Eyahuwah himself will establish a house for you. “When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will by my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with the rod of men, and with floggings inflicted by men. But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.”
2 Samuel 7:11-16. NIV.

This is a double prophecy and a mystery. Not only did it apply to Solomon, but also to Solomon’s offspring. Eyahuwah also promised to punish the reigning son, “when he does wrong”. Although this promise ruled over the lives of David’s sons, this promise was fulfilled by Eyahushuah, David’s offspring, who did no wrong! Instead, he took upon himself the punishment included in this promise! He stood in place of Kings from David’s offspring and took upon himself the punishment promised. As King over the House of Jacob (all of Israel, not just Jews only), Eyahushuah took the punishment upon himself. In doing so, Eyahushuah became the Savior of Israel and of the ruling line of David. Eyahushuah was also a descendant of David and had right to the throne of “his father, David.”

Notice in the quote from 2 Samuel above how many times Eyahuwah is quoted as saying “I will …” and other expressions of action and responsibility.

The question is how could Eyahushuah be qualified to take this punishment on himself?

One of the problems with Bible translations today is the influence of the corrupt Latin Vulgate translation. This translation alone stood the theology of the Scriptures on its head. For example, the word “fides” or “fideles” puts the responsibility of being faithful back on the reader. Whereas, in the language of the Scripture, both Hebrew and Greek, faithfulness is a quality of character possessed by Eyahuwah.

Eyahuwah made the promises and covenants to the fathers (deals, if you will) and He bound Himself to being faithful to perform what He promised. This He did and continues to do whatever is necessary to carry out what He covenanted to do.

It was Eyahuwah who told the people of Israel, “I am Eyahuwah Elahim, who brought you out of Egypt, out the land of slavery. You shall no other Elahim before me.”

This is the foundation of the good news, the gospel. Without the covenants and promises made to the fathers, there is no focal point for human life. Everything would be time and chance. The promises combined with the faithfulness of the Promiser assures the salvation of the human race — starting with the fathers and the people of the nations of Jacob, including David and his offspring.

Why then did Eyahushuah come upon the scene? Who was he and what was his purpose?

Because we have lost our relationship with Elahim and Eyahuwah, we have also lost our own identity and the knowledge of who our fathers were. We have followed other gods that were created by the offspring of Noah’s son Ham: Cush, and Nimrod. Nimrod was the one who placed himself before Eyahuwah. He became the god of the people — and still is to this day.

We have trusted in religions to bring us the “truth” about human life and our purpose here. But instead, they enslaved us and taught about other gods that were not the Eyahuwah Elohim of our fathers. Religions also kept from us our real identity and made us “drink of the wine” of their deceit that put our minds in a drunken stupor.

Eyahuwah warned our fathers that if their offspring turned to the gods of the nations around them, then He would drive them out of the land and take away the knowledge of who they are. Eyahuwah also promised to bring them back from the places to which He had driven them, and give them a new heart.

Eyahuwah spoke to the people and gave them ten commandments with his own voice. That scared the people so much that they begged Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have Elahim speak to us or we will die.”

This became another covenant between Elahim and the people. Elahim through Eyahuwah agreed with the people, and people today wonder why we never hear from Elahim. Yet the target of our existence is the life-generating connection with Elahim as intended from the beginning!

In this conversation and others, the people made their own covenants and promises with Eyahuwah, who honored their requests.

Then Eyahuwah said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this, ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.”
Exodus 20:22-23

Because the people of Jacob did go astray. They continued to make their own gods. And as a result, they also created a huge debt of punishment. This is often misunderstood. People ask, “How could God be so cruel?”

Elahim did not bring the trouble into the world. Instead, it came through a decision made by our original father and mother. It was Eve who submitted to the temptation and made the choice to feast on the knowledge of good and evil instead of feasting on the Tree of Life. Then Adam acquiesced and followed her lead. Before their first children reached full maturity, Cain murdered his younger brother Abel.

Rather than looking upon the actions of Elahim as a cruel act, it was really the word of the people and the word of Eyahuwah and was made of contracts, agreements, deals, and promises made by both parties and sealed with an oath. Hence, the future of the world was built upon the covenants made with the fathers and with the people. The world was to be blessed by this relationship. But our fathers, the sons of Jacob, did not keep their part of the agreement.

Another covenant was made with Moses, another father. When Moses was a long time in Mount Sinai receiving instruction from Eyahuwah, the people of Israel made a golden calf and declared that “This was the Elahim that brought you out of Egypt.” This angered Eyahuwah and he told Moses to leave him alone so that he might destroy them and make Moses into a great nation. But Moses pleaded the case with Eyahuwah, saying,

“Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.‘”

Eyahuwah relented and did not bring this disaster as he threatened. Moses went back down and tried to get things back in order, however, many lives were lost as a result. He told the people,

“You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to Eyahuwah; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”

Moses pleaded for forgiveness, and Eyahuwah replied,

“Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of … However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin.”

This was not the first time Eyahuwah promised to punish the people of Israel, nor was it the last. This was to become a major theme through the relationship between Eyahuwah Elahim and the descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Israel. They were and still are a stiff-necked and hard-hearted people to this day.

Eyahuwah made promises:

When the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sins.
Exodus 32:33 NIV

Therefore Israel had garnered up a mountain of promised punishment, a great debt, as a result of not keeping the covenants that they made.

When Moses went and told the people all Eyahuwah’s words and laws, they responded with one voice, “Everything Eyahuwah has said we will do.”
Exodus 24:3

Therefore, the covenant was established based on the words of the people. They promised to continue the relationship that had been established between Eyahuwah Elahim and their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Israel. And if they failed to do that then Eyahuwah gave his word, “I will punish them for their sins.”

What was promised: it was a choice between life and death …

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love Eyahuwah Elahim, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For Eyahuwah is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (Read the whole chapter).

Eyahuwah knew that the people would go after other gods — non-living gods, and forget the relationship He deeply desired with his people. The decades spent wandering in the wilderness was one struggle after another. Here was a group of people destined to be a Kingdom of Kings and Priests. They were to become a blessing to all the nations of earth. And they were a nation of hard-hearted, stubborn people who were willing to give up the most valuable thing in their life — the relationship held by their fathers with the living Eyahuwah Elahim in exchange for the non-living gods of this world.

In keeping with the requests of the people, the voice of Eyahuwah Elahim became silent. And today we wonder why.

How could this be fixed?

It was the task of Eyahuwah to make events happen just as he had promised and agreed to do, punishment and all. Eyahuwah and Elahim are manifestations of the One true and living One, called in the Scriptures: Elah. It is strange to embrace the reality that Elohim and all of the beings and messengers in that domain are manifestations of Elah. But why is that so difficult. We are manifestations ourselves. Which act of Elah is more difficult?

Here is how John the Apostle wrote about this. This is taken from the Aramaic version of his gospel:

1. In the beginning was the Manifestation; And that Manifestation was with God [Elah]; and the Manifestation was God [Elah].
2. This was in the beginning with God [Elah].
3. Everything was in his power (in his hand), [otherwise] nothing would ever exist. [Actually, all things that exist do so because of his power, and there is nothing else existing outside of his power.]
4. Through him [there] was Life and Life became the Light of humanity
5. And that Light lights the darkness and darkness does not overshadow it.
…
9. There was the light of the truth, that which lights everyone who is born.
10. He was with the people and the people [came into being] by his hand (i.e. he created them) And the people did not know Him.
11. He came to his own and his own did not receive him.
12. But all those who did receive him, He assigned them to be children of God [Elah], [to them] who believed in his name;
13. They [did not become so] through blood, nor through the desire of the flesh and neither through a man’s willpower; they became born [so] from God [Elah].
14. And the Manifestation became flesh and made his dwelling amongst us and we saw His glory, glory as [that] uniquely [of the nature] of the Creator, Full of grace and blessing.
…
17. The Law came to us by the hand of Moses. [But] the truth and grace was through Eashoa [Eyahushuah], the Anointed One.
18. No human [being] ever saw God, except for the only born God. He who existed in the bosom of his Father proclaimed Him.

The word “Manifestation” is the meaning of the Aramaic word Miltha used in the place of the Greek word “logos” or “Word”. Miltha means Manifestation and Word. The point being that “Word” or logos contains more meaning that just a simple speech. Instead, it refers to something coming into existence as a result of a preceding declaration or thought. The Word was spoken and the Manifestation of that word is sure to happen. This is central point of all the words, promises, declarations, covenants, agreements and any other word of Eyahuwah Elahim.

This is the foundation of the Good News. As shocking as it may sound the Gospel or Good News is contained in the promises and covenants made to our fathers. It is contained in the Law (Torah) and the Prophets (Nevi’im). It is contained in the words spoken by Eyahuwah, either to the fathers or through the Spirit in the prophets. Therefore, if that is not known or understood by the supposed preachers of the “Gospel”, are they then preaching “another gospel”? And if so, where did they get it?

Throughout the Hebrew scriptures are the promises of hope for the future for the righteous and promises of punishment for the evil doers. Once the word went out, it could not be taken back. If you read the Torah, you will find this repeated time and again. Abraham believed the word spoken by Eyahuwah that he would have a son in his old age, and that his offspring would be as the stars in heaven in number — uncountable. And Abraham believed Eyahuwah. He knew that His word meant something and that what He promised He was also able to perform. Word becomes Manifestation. And in the case of the Aramaic, Word and Manifestation are one and the same.

But what about all that horrible punishment?

Was Eyahuwah only weakly threatening without any intention of actually carrying out His word? If so, then no other word spoken by Him could be relied upon!

Faith has nothing to do with blind belief. “We accept that on faith”, is nonsense. Is the moon really made of cheese? Does the sun circle around the earth? Is the earth really flat? (I don’t know about the cheesy moon thing, but the latter two were doctrines held by the church on “faith” and punishable by death or persecution if not believed.)

If faith is not based upon something tangible, like the Word of Eyahuwah, then it is foolishness. As Eyahushuah said, “Be careful what you believe.”

Abraham believed the Word of Eyahuwah. As a result, that was counted to him as righteousness. The people of Israel, even though they were visibly and forcefully led out of Egypt by Eyahuwah, did not, in fact, believe the words of Eyahuwah. “We’ll do everything he says, but don’t let him speak to us directly”, they cried. Therefore, when they showed that they didn’t believe Eyahuwah and built a calf made of gold, this was counted against them as unrighteousness.

Only Eyahuwah speaks words that must be listened to and believed, because in those words is our life!

What about the punishment? It came in part directly upon the people of Israel. They were divided into two houses. The House of Israel (sometimes called the House of Joseph), and the House of Judah. Both were taken into captivity at different times. One lost its identity and Eyahuwah hid his face from them. The other, House of Judah, retained its identity and continued to suffer through the ages to this very day.

But not all the punishment was meted out. Righteousness, to this day, is still based upon believing the word of Eyahuwah. Here is what he said:

See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised up and lifted up and highly exalted. Just as there were many who were appalled at him — his appearance was so disfigured, beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness — so he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him.

For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.

Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of Eyahuwah been revealed?

He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He has no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, and nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.

He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from who men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by Elohim, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, and he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and Eyahuwah has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, as a sheep before her shearers is silent, he did not open his mouth.

By oppression and judgment, he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of my people he was stricken.

He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

Yet it was Eyahuwah’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though Eyahuwah made his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of Eyahuwah will prosper in his hand.

After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.

For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12 NIV.

Who was this servant? A man hand-picked by Eyahuwah to receive in his flesh and by his death, the punishment promised by Eyahuwah upon all those who didn’t believe him? That is a little cruel, don’t you think?

Let’s put it this way: it took the courage of an outstanding individual to go through this ordeal.

Who was that man?

It was Eyahuwah himself!

Eyahuwah was the Manifestation of the Word. “A body you have prepared for me.” The “Manifestation became flesh” and dwelt among us! He became Eyahushuah, the Chosen one, who took in his own body the very same punishment that He (Eyahuwah) promised for those who didn’t believe his promises and abide by the covenants he made with our parents. And not only for those, but also for those who would come after to demonstrate both justice and His love for all because He patiently waited for the time when He would pay for these wrong doings and breaches heretofore unpunished. In short, he “bought our markers” and paid our debt and in doing so, He now owns us. Whether we believe it or not!

Eyahuwah said,

They shall look upon me whom have they have pierced, and they will mourn for him!

Therefore, because we belong to Him now, He can carry out His promises to save us and bring in the Age of Righteousness. Again, this will happen as promised whether we believe it or not.

This sacrifice did not do away with the law, instead it upheld the law. The word of Eyahuwah was fulfilled in Eyahushuah — the one whose name means “Eyahuwah our Savior.”

The good news was written and recorded down in advance in the books of Hebrew Scriptures. These were committed to the House of Judah for preservation until the time of the end. Eyahushuah told the disciples and the leaders of Judah, who he was. He pointed to the scriptures and told them to read them because they tell about Him. He referred to passages in the Scriptures and said that these were being fulfilled as he read them. Eyahuwah as Eyahushuah once again spoke directly to His people.

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” Psalm 95:7-8; Hebrews 3:15

[Eyahushuah] said to them, “How foolish you are, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Chosen and Anointed One have to suffer these things and enter his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself [Eyahuwah our Savior].
Luke 24:25-27 NIV

Eyahushuah, the Anointed One, was Eyahuwah, the Chosen One in the flesh, our Savior, who took upon himself the punishment He promised he would bring upon us for our unbelieving and stubborn hearts. Instead of exacting that from us, he put off the punishment and minimized it, leaving it for the time that he had foreordained when he, himself, would suffer our punishment at the hands of men and die.

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death — that is, the devil — and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not the angels [messengers] he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service of Elahim, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:14-17 NIV

Now that we know the good news about Eyahuwah our Savior, the Anointed one, we must look ahead to what He has promised for our future. And, most importantly, believe what He has promised for them and for us. He came in the flesh and spoke to us once again, we should listen this time!
