Index

Dear Friend,

As this lesson holds a GREAT Revelation which, no doubt is the greatest Revelation of Truth in the Bible, the greatest Revelation of all time, we find it apt and necessary at this stage, to summarise all that we have learnt thusfar:

Lesson 1: We saw that the Invisible God did reveal Himself to man  by His physical Appearance at various times,  manifesting Himself as the VOICE, the WORD,  a MAN,  the  ANGEL, a FLAME OF FIRE, in a cloud and a whirlwind and as the Shechina Glory in the Tabernacle and Temple.

Lesson 2: We learnt that it was the Almighty Himself Who appeared in these various forms and that to those to whom He had appeared,  He was known by His Name YHVH.  We learnt that the Name of God the Father also being YHVH,  it was really the Father Who appeared in these forms.

Lesson 3: Taught us that the Name of the Creator is also YHVH,  thus that it really was the CREATOR Who took upon Himself  these different forms.  In addition, the Creator was also  Israel's ever-living Redeemer, Saviour,  King, Shepherd  and Keeper of the Sanctuary.

Time does not permit us here, to go into the details of the multiple other TITLES which YHVH claims for Himself and of which the Bible is absolutely overflowing.  Following are but a few which the student may already be conversant with:

Advocate, Ancient of Days, Daystar, Eternal, First and Last,  Father, Governor, High and Mighty, Judge, Love, Lawmaker,  Morning Star,  Prince of  Peace, Rock, Saviour, Temple, Most High, Holy One,  Sanctifier, our Righteousness, our Banner, Healer, etc.

In the original Scriptures, these Titles appear many times linked to the Sacred Name.  So for instance, He is called:
 YHVH Jireh - YHVH will provide (Gen. 22:14).
 YHVH Nissi - YHVH is my Banner (Ex. 17:15).
 YHVH Shalom - YHVH is Peace (Judges 6:24).

All these Titles are but TITLES of the SAME One, namely YHVH.  Similarly, all His different manifestations are but MANIFESTATIONS of the SAME One, namely YHVH.

The student to whom it has not yet been revealed,  now stands before what could prove to be the GREATEST Revelation of his/her spiritual experience!  We have deliberately in this course thusfar, held back any mention of the Messiah Who, according to Scriptural and historical proof (which you may write for), was crucified at Jerusalem some 2000 years ago, thereby fulfilling many Old Testament prophecies.  His was the perfect Sacrifice for the Restoration of mankind to God and His Covenant,  thereby putting an end to the Old Testament Sacrificial System of offering of animals (Dan. 9:27).  It brings perfect Justification to anyone who will accept His Offering and pledge their allegiance and subservience to YHVH and His Covenant.  He is the Door through which to enter into the Kingdom of Everlasting Life and Peace (John 3:16).   He also is the Door Keeper Himself.

But, Who is this Lamb of YHVH really?  Who is it that died on the rugged Stake and conquered Death by His glorious Resurrection three days later?  What is His relationship to YHVH?

The GREATEST Truth that the Bible holds for us, enshrines the One Who gave His Life in order that we may live.  We have prayed much that you too may share this wonderful Revelation, because no study course, no learned words of man can reveal this Truth, but the Spirit of the Most High (1 Tim. 2:4;  2 Tim. 2:25).  Now, this Truth is, that:
 
 

THE SCRIPTURES BEAR EMPHATIC PROOF THAT EVERY TITLE WHICH YHVH ACCLAIMS HIMSELF,  THE SAVIOUR OF NAZARETH CLAIMED FOR HIMSELF ALSO, INCLUDING THE VERY TITLE OF  'GOD ALMIGHTY'.   THE MAN OF GETHSEMANE WAS YET ANOTHER MANIFESTATION OF YHVH, THE INVISIBLE OMNIPRESENT SPIRIT BEING, THIS TIME BORN OUT OF FLESH!  A DIRECT DESCENDANT OF ADAM THROUGH KING DAVID.  THE ONE WHO WOULD  "BRUISE THE HEAD" OF SATAN, TO OVERCOME HIM AND TO RESTORE PARADISE ONCE MORE TO HIS BELOVED FOLLOWERS AND SERVANTS - BY THE UNBLEMISHED OFFERING OF HIS UNDEFILED BLOOD, SPILLED IN HUMILIATION UNDER SCORNFUL CIRCUMSTANCES, BROUGHT ABOUT BY HIS OWN CREATION!

Just as "The Angel of YHVH" was not something 'separate' from YHVH, but instead was YHVH Himself, so the "Son of YHVH" was not Someone separate from YHVH, but was YHVH Himself!   Yes, YHVH manifest in a Body of flesh, this time born through the womb of a Hebrew woman, in order that He would physically feel the pangs of hunger as much as those whom He created;  that He would experience embarrassment and insult;  feel the humiliation of unwantedness and undeserved insult, loneliness and desertion to the same extent as His creation.  He would feel the physical pain, thirst and agony of that culminating event in which His blameless life was cut short in the prime of His earthly Life.  The heart rendering humiliation of this deed, suffered by the Creator, can never EVER be measured ... the Saviour of man, on His Mission of restoring breaches with His created beings, breaches which He had not brought about, and receiving in return nothing but rejection by His own creation and being despised by those whom He came to help.  He was made an object of scorn!  (Study Isaiah ch. 53).

We will prove from the Scriptures, that the Prophets and Apostles taught that Messiah, the Saviour, was in fact the Creator of all - the SAME One Who had led Israel out of Egypt.  The SAME One Who appeared on Mt Sinai at the giving of the Law to Moses.  The SAME One Who was provoked in the Wilderness by the Israelites.  Yes, the Man Who died on a torture Stake for the Redemption of the sins of mankind and arose triumphantly from the dead after three days and three nights, was none other than YHVH Himself,  the Eternal Father in flesh!

The student, at this stage, may be aware of confusion and doubt and may be puzzled by many questions and seemingly contradictory statements in the Bible.  We have already emphasised that the Bible does NOT contradict itself, but for our own misunderstanding and misinterpretations, brought about by the erroneous teachings of man, the misleading and confusing influence of Satan, wrong translations, deliberate tampering, etc. etc. - all of which have become well entrenched in the traditions of religion.  The student may be assured however, that there is ample evidence in ANY translation of the Bible, to prove that the assertions of this Course are TRUE and we pray that you will remain with us in our further studies which will shed more light on this subject - the most wonderful subject in all the Bible.

This Truth is defined by Scripture as "The Key to Eternal Life" (John 17:3).  Can you therefore wonder why it is the most contested Truth; the most concealed Truth, and the most opposed by believers and followers of the Messiah themselves?

In the remainder of this Lesson and in the many supporting studies which are available free of charge to you,  we shall delve into various aspects of this subject and answer queries about THE DIVINITY OF MESSIAH,

Part One

THE TRUE NAME OF THE MESSIAH

In lesson 2 we have seen how ill-informed the followers of the Creator are in that many of them are generally ignorant of His NAME!  This absurdity does not stop there, for when it comes to the subject of the Messiah, we find that His followers are equally confused about His True Name.  Many different Names are given to Him in various languages.  Here are but a few:

 English       - Jesus Christ
 Italian         - Gesu Cristo
 Welsh         - Iesu Grist
 Hungarian   - Jezus Krisztusnak
 Nigerian      - Azisos Kraist

(Students may be able to add to this list.  We look forward to being informed of additions to the List).

Yet, the Bible claims that there is ONLY ONE Name under Heaven, given unto mankind, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Anyone who has experienced some revelation of previously distorted Truth, will know that evil forces operate by methods of distortion and confusion, i.e. the spirit of  'Babylon'.   It should thus be quite clear and obvious why the ONLY NAME UNTO SALVATION has been changed - into one for every language!

Now, it is common practice throughout the world, that names are not changed when used in different languages.  Pres. Clinton will remain Clinton in all other languages.  So also Kruschev, Mandela, Napoleon, Hitler, Arafat, Netanyahu, etc. etc.

A further unique aspect is that Hebrew names all have a meaning (according to the Hebrew language).  E.g.  Elijah - 'My God is YAH'

Yet, these names are never translated in the various translations of the Bible - but, the ONE Name unto salvation - yes, that has been translated in various languages!

We will show how that, in the Old Testament,  this Name has been used some 29 times where it refers to the names of certain Temple priests.  In the New Testament, however,  the opposing influence has substituted it with a new name altogether - and then changed it in the different languages!   Total confusion reigns!

WHAT THEN SHOULD HIS TRUE NAME HAVE BEEN?

One thing that is certain, is that His Name was certainly NOT 'Jesus'.  This is an English name which was unknown to the contemporaries of the Messiah in His time.   They were Israelites, or Jews.  The Messiah was an Israelite - a Jew.  'Jesus' is not a Jewish name and it came into being only many centuries later,  when the English language was born.

Surely, it should be the same Name by which He was known to His mother and family, to His disciples, His nation, Israel - yes, even to His enemies?  This Name was written in the Temple register at His circumcision, at His Barmitzvah, and on the Court registers for His final trials - this Name was written above His Stake on which He was crucified (Mark 15:26) and which, to this day, can be seen in the Museums of Europe on famous old paintings by the great artists of the Middle Ages.  This Name did NOT vary!  It was the Name that had been prophesied and declared by Angels unto His mother Miriam (yes, Miriam, not Mary - even this has been changed!).  This Name should be His Name unto all ages!

Can this True Name still be established today?  Indeed, going back just one page in this study, we have seen how that YHVH has linked different TITLES to His ONE and ONLY True Name.  Now this time, in His manifestation as the Saviour, born from a human mother, He would simply be called:
 YHVH the SAVIOUR
or, as it appears in the original text of the New Testament:
 YAHU'SHUAH - Hebrew (Also rendered YAHSHUA, YESHUA, YAHOSHUA)

The staggering result of the translation or transformation of this Name, is that the Almighty's Salvation Name as well as the True Identity of the Saviour, has been lost.

Although the 'rediscovery' of the True Name of Messiah has become almost common knowledge over the last decade,  there are still many sincere believers to whom this knowledge or assertions come as a shock.  If this is your experience or feelings at this moment, then we plead with you to verify the truth in this statement by doing proper research into the matter.  The Truth is as far as your nearest Bible concordance, encyclopedia or reference Bible.   There are today more than 4000 Web Sites on Internet proclaiming the Sacred Names!  Simply look up the items: Jesus, Yeshua, Yahushua, Yahoshua, Yeshuah, Yahshua, Yahshuah, Joshua, Holy Name, Sacred Name, Yahveh, Yahweh, Yahoweh, Jehova, etc.

The finest proof may also be obtained by speaking to a Jewish Rabbi about the topic - and they of course deny His Messiahship.  So what finer confirmation than hearing it from His 'opponents'?

Strange, but true it is also, that the Name 'YESHUA'  appears several times in the Jewish Daily and Festival Prayer Books which are used to this day!

The first time student will no doubt, at this stage, be confused about the various forms of the Sacred Name that are now offered in place of the false names.  You may rightfully ask:  "Why claim a "True Original" form, simply to come up with more variations?"

The reasons are many:

1.  Any process of Restoration will obviously bring with it alternatives of what the real form truly was.  Take for instance, the restoration of the ruins of ancient buildings.

2.  We have to do here with a matter that effects the qualification for Eternal Life as a true follower of the Creator and King.  The Scriptures are very clear that their is a 'heavenly' rebellion amongst a certain sector of the heavenly beings, under the leadership of Satan, against the Rule of YHVH.   Confusion is their strategy - our's is to clear it!

3.  A major problem is the results of the Divinely ordained Curse of Babel (Gen. 11: 1-9) leading to 'confusion of mankind's languages'.  The various forms and renderings of the Sacred Names, are simply earnest endeavours to reproduce the original Hebrew form, pronunciation and sound of the Sacred Names, with the letters of our own language.

4.  The Use of the Sacred Names in Hebrew is prohibited by Jewish tradition, according to the interpretation of the 3rd Commandment.  The Name of YHVH was pronounced once a year only, by the High Priest within the enclosure of the Most Holy Section of the Temple in Jerusalem, on the Day of Yom Kippur over the Main Offering on that Day.  The historian Josephus comments that there even were discrepancies amongst the learned Temple Priests about the actual form of the Sacred Name.  It is clear, according to Scripture, that this is not the condition which the Creator intended.  His Name is to be PROCLAIMED to the nations.

Furthermore, there are many closely related words or names used in the Scriptures for conveying the concept of salvation, redemption or help, all of which are conjugated with the basic Hebrew term: "Yesha", which means salvation, deliverance, help.  These are:

 YESHA or YASHA - salvation, safety (242 times)
 ELISHA   - God (El) is Saviour
 OSHEA, JOSHUA - YAH saves (Numbers 13: 8 & 16)
 YE- or YAHOSHUA - YAH saves
 HOSEA   - the Prophet, meaning 'YAH saves'
 JE- or YAHSHUAH - Used as a personal name for certain Temple Priests.
        In Nehemia 8:17 it is used as an alternative for the prophet Joshua.

An amazing confirmation appears in Youngs Bible Concordance under the item "Jesus Christ", where the Hebrew spelling of the original Hebrew Name from which it was derived, is given.  This Name, in Hebrew, is spelt and written exactly like the name JESHUAH (referred to above) which is used as a name for certain Priests in the Scriptures!  And in those cases, it has NOT been transformed.  When this Name refers to the Messiah, someone decided to transform it to 'Jesus' and multiple other translated names for different languages!

We must stress at this point, that the Hebrew alphabet made NO provision for the writing of vowels (i, o, u, a, and e), and therefore the true pronunciation can not always be very certain.  There is weighty evidence for the rendering 'YAHU'SHUAH', because the Sacred Name of the Most High is YHVH (abbreviated YAH - Ps. 68:4). The most obvious proof is found in the word which all agree upon, a word used internationally and, paradoxically, without true knowledge of its true meaning, viz.
 HALLELU'YAH - meaning: Praise YAH.

In the same way we have: Elijah (EliYAH), Jeremiah (JeremiYAH), Obediah (OvadYAH), Hosea (HoshiYAH), and many others.

Anyone seeking further confirmation, should study the Hebrew letters and construction of the above mentioned words and names.

Refer also to the NOTES ON THE SACRED NAMES

Simultaneously with the loss of knowledge regarding the Sacred Name,  knowledge about the True Identity of God and the Messiah also suffered.  It is for this purpose that BIBLE REVELATIONS believe that the Sacred Names should be rightfully restored, as true salvation unto Eternal Life depends heavily upon, amongst other things, true knowledge of the Identity of the Ruler of the Universe (John 17:3.  Refer our study: Key to Eternal Life).

It is for this reason also, and in an endeavour to create some conformity, even if just for our own literature which is continually being published, that we have decided on using the forms YHVH and YAHU'SHUAH in our literature.  We do however acknowledge most of the other accepted forms.  We believe that we should not be dogmatic, since all usages are proposed in an earnest endeavour to reproduce the original Hebrew form and pronunciation sound of the Sacred Names, with the letters of our own language.

The fact that there is not 100% agreement on the matter, should not at all deter us from using a Sacred Name form, rather than the form "Jesus", which we know it can NOT be.   The same reasoning should also apply to the various forms presented or used for the Sacred Name in the Tenach or Old Testament e.g.   YAHVEH, YAHWEH, YAHWAH, YAHOVAH, or the commonly used form JEHOVAH.

Tragic though is the attitude of many believers who are confronted with this vital tenet of Eternal Life (John 17:3), to take the stance of: "It doesn't matter!".  If you are in business or know about the basic requirements for good personal relationships,  then you will know how important it is to ensure that you are well acquainted with people's correct names, and that you take meticulous care to use their correct names.  If not, try to spell someone's name incorrectly, or call them by other than their real names, even slight variations, and see how they respond!  And we like to believe that to God it does not matter?

Do we really need further confirmation that the Name of Messiah was and still remains YAHU'SHUAH ... YHVH the Saviour?
 
 

PART  2

1.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE 'ARM OF YHVH'
     (Isaiah 51:9-16 and ch. 53).

The Apostle John says the following about YAHU'SHUAH:

John 12:37,38. "But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him, that the saying of Isaiah the Prophet, might be fulfilled, which he spoke: 'YHVH, who has believed our report and to whom has THE ARM OF YHVH been revealed?'"

Isaiah foresaw that YAHU'SHUAH would not be accepted, notwithstanding all the miracles He had performed.  The Scripture referred to by John, was from Isaiah chapter 53, where the Prophet revealed that it would be "the Arm" who would become flesh.  Now turn to this chapter and read it for yourself ... now ... please do so.

The New Testament applies many of these verses word for word to Messiah.  So do most theologians, except for Jewish Orthodox theology, which proposes to apply it to Israel!  To this school of thought, may we ask: "When did Israel "carry our griefs and sorrows?"  When was Israel "wounded for our transgressions?" (v5).  Are we to believe that "we are healed by the stripes" of Israel?  No, indeed, it was Messiah that carried Israel's and mankind's griefs and sorrows and Who was wounded for their transgressions.

In our quoted Scriptures above, John interprets the Scriptures for us and reveals the mystery of the "ARM of YHVH".  He confirms that we would SEE the ARM of YHVH, because He would be revealed to humanity as A MAN! (v. 3).

But the Prophet goes even further, for those who doubt or still raise arguments.  He tells us that THAT VERY SAME ARM ALSO LED ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT and cleft the Red Sea to save them from the pursuing Egyptian soldiers:
Isaiah 51:9-15, "Awake, awake, put on strength, O Arm of YHVH.  Awake as in the ancient days ... v. 10 ... was it not Thou Who dried up the sea? ... that made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over? ... v.13 ... You have forgotten YHVH Who made you, Who spread out the heavens and laid the earth's foundations ... v.15 ... I am YHVH your God Who divided the sea ... My Name is YHVH Sabaoth".

The 'ARM' that was revealed in flesh, we all know today as YAHU'SHUAH, the Anointed, but in Old Testament times, before His Incarnation, He was known to Israel as YHVH the Eternal, Who freed them from slavery in Egypt and led them to the Promised Land, Israel.

That Isaiah 53 is speaking of Messiah, is confirmed in Acts 8:26-40, where Philip reads this very portion from Isaiah (refer Acts 8:32,33) to the influential eunuch of Ethiopia, who then asks (Acts 8:34):  "About Whom does the Prophet say this?"

"Then Philip ... beginning with this scripture (from Isa. 53) ... told him the Good News of YAHU'SHUAH" (Acts 8:35).

The "Arm" of YHVH denotes the "POWER" of YHVH.  A thorough study of this term and it's usage in the Bible, will reflect a similarity in the meanings and usage of the words: power, might, strength, hand, right side and arm, when referring to this designation of the Messiah.  Consequently, the true Identity of YAHU'SHUAH, regarding Him being the "Arm of YHVH",  has been concealed and obliterated, by the wrong interpretation of the term, "Arm of YHVH".  Drenched with the erroneous teaching of a "triune" God (a teaching which only developed long after the completion of the writing of the New Testament), rather than the Scripturally defined ONE God, translators rendered references to this description and identification of the Messiah, as Him "sitting (next to the Throne of God) at the Right Hand of God", rather than "sitting (on the Throne) as the POWER of God".  (Refer Rev. 1: 7,8;  4: 8-11; together with Matt. 26:64;  Mark 14:62;  Luke  22:69.  The original Greek rendering of these verses are doubtful as to the use of the word 'hand'  and 'at' and could just as well have been rendered:  "... sitting as the rightful Power of God".  There also is a strong argument for the New Testament having originally been written in Hebrew and that the current recognised 'originals' are already translations from the Hebrew).

Refer to a full study on "Sitting at the Right Hand of God". (Click on title)
 

2.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE CREATOR OF ALL  -
WHO IS TO BE WORSHIPPED

From these very same Scriptures of the Prophet Isaiah we also learn that YAHU'SHUAH is THE CREATOR.   Refer again to Isa. 51 from verse 13, where you will note that "The Arm of YHVH"  is the Maker ... Who spread out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth.

Isaiah 48:13  YHVH speaking through the Prophet, saying,  "My hand laid the foundations of the earth; My right hand spread out the heavens."

The apostles confirmed thus:
John 1: 1,14,  "In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with YHVH,  and the WORD WAS YHVH  (Original:  ... and YHVH was the WORD) ... v. 3, All things were made by HIM and not one thing had its being but through Him ... v. 10,  He was in the World and the World was MADE by Him, and the World knew Him not ... v.14,  and the WORD WAS MADE FLESH and dwelt among us."

Paul's testimony:  Coll. 1: 14-17,  "In Whom we have redemption through His Blood, even the forgiveness of sins; Who is the Image of the Invisible God ... for by HIM were all things created that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, ALL things were created BY Him and FOR Him ... and by Him ALL things consist."

Being the Creator of all things and beings on earth and in heaven, would then also make YAHU'SHUAH the Creator of the Angels of Heaven, thereby deserving their worship (Rev. 5; 6-14).

Can you now see why Isaiah called the Creator Who cleft the sea, "YHVH Sabaoth" (YHVE of the Angelic Hosts)?  Hebrews chapter 1: 6 tells us that the Angels have to worship YAHU'SHUAH and Revelation 19: 10 confirms that only YHVH should be worshipped!

In Lesson 3 we saw that YHVH is the ONLY Creator.  It should therefore be clear that YAHU'SHUAH is that ONLY Creator in His pre-incarnated Being!
 

3.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE GREAT "I AM"

In Exod. 3: 13,14, God introduces Himself to Moses by His Name "I AM".

Isaiah identifies the Great I AM in ch. 43: 10,11,  "You are My witnesses, says YHVH and My servant whom I have chosen, that you may KNOW and BELIEVE Me, and understand that I AM HE:  Before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.  I, even I AM YHVH, and beside Me there is NO Saviour".

John 18: 3 - 6 relates how that the rugged guards, who were sent to arrest YAHU'SHUAH in the Garden of Gethsemane, fell to the ground upon His admission of "I AM HE".  (Please read this passage for yourself and picture the scene.  Why would guardsmen fall to the ground on such a pronouncement?)

At another occasion, related in John 8: 57 - 59:
"Then said the Jews unto Him: 'You are not yet 50 years old and you say you have seen Abraham?'   YAHU'SHUAH said unto them: 'Truly, truly, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I AM'.  Then they took up stones to cast at Him".

They certainly understood, but refused to accept His insinuation!  At His trials they accused Him of making Himself out to be God.

Can you wonder why YAHU'SHUAH Himself warns in John 8: 24:
"I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins; for if you believe not that I AM HE (i.e. YHVH) you shall die in your sins!"

4.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE ROCK

2 Sam. 22: 32,  "Who else is God but YHVH; Who else is a Rock but our God?"

1 Sam. 2: 2,  "There is none Holy as YHVH, for there is none beside Thee, neither is there any Rock like our God."

The apostle Paul reveals that YAHU'SHUAH was that Rock of Israel.
1 Cor. 10: 1 - 9,  "Moreover, brethren, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the Cloud and all passed through the sea, and were all baptised unto Moses in the Cloud and in the sea, and did all eat the same spiritual meat and did all drink the spiritual Drink, for they drank of that spiritual ROCK that followed them, and THAT ROCK WAS YAHU'SHUAH ... v.9  Neither let us tempt YAHU'SHUAH as some of them (the ancient Israelites!) did, and were destroyed by serpents", - (because they tempted YAHU'SHUAH!).

Also noteworthy from verse 4, that  "... the Rock FOLLOWED them".  This is speaking of the time of the Exodus.  But is it not commonly accepted that the Israelites were LED by YHVH in the Cloud by day and as a Pillar of Fire by night?  Indeed, this is confirmed by Scripture, in Exodus 13:21,22.  Just to show how infallible the Scriptures are, please turn to Exod. 14: 19, 20.  "Then the Angel of YHVH Who marched at the front of the army of Israel, changed station and moved to their rear.  The Pillar of Cloud changed station from the front to the rear of them, and remained there."  This happened shortly after their crossing through the sea and in order to protect them from the pursuing Egyptian army.

Thus, it was YAHU'SHUAH Who 'changed stations'!

Yes, dear student, YAHU'SHUAH is the CENTRAL FIGURE throughout not only the New, but also the Old Testament or Tenach.  YAHU'SHUAH Himself declared so in John 5: 39:  "Search the Scriptures (referring to the Tenach) for ... they are they which testify of Me."

Paul only had the Tenach to teach from, and it was from these writings that he understood that YAHU'SHUAH was the One Who led Israel from Egypt.  He knew that YAHU'SHUAH was the 'ARM of YHVH' Who became flesh.  Therefore the Saviour and Redeemer of the Old Testament, is the very same Saviour and Redeemer of the New testament.   Paul taught that YAHU'SHUAH was the Almighty God Himself Who became a Human Being:

1 tim. 3: 16,  "And without controversy, great is the Mystery of Godliness:  GOD WAS MANIFEST IN FLESH,  justified in the Spirit,  seen of Angels,  preached unto the Gentiles,  believed on in the world, received up into Glory."

5.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE ONE SOON TO COME IN GLORY  (Rev. 21 & 22).

The Scriptures clearly claim that the One soon to come in Glory with His mighty Angels,  is none other than YHVH God Himself:

Zech. 14: 5, "... YHVH your God will come and all the holy ones with Him."   (Also Ps. 50: 1-7).

The apostle Paul applies this Appearance to YAHU'SHUAH at His second Coming.   Refer:   1 Thess. 3: 11-13;   1 Thess. 4: 13-18;    2 Thess.  1: 7-11.

And alas, YAHU'SHUAH Himself affirmed this in His own Words:
Matt. 24: 30-31, "... and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with POWER and great GLORY.  And He shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet ... Matt. 13: 41 - 43,  ... and they shall gather out of HIS Kingdom all things that offend ... Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their FATHER."

This is the Mystery that YAHU'SHUAH revealed to John in:
Rev. 21: 5-6, "And he that sat ON the Throne said: 'Behold, I (YAHU'SHUAH) make all things new ... I am Alpha and Omega (First and Last - compare Isa. 44: 6 where YHVH claims to be this) ... he that overcomes, shall inherit all things and I WILL BE HIS GOD AND HE SHALL BE MY SON" (making Him the Father!)

There you have it clearly and distinctly,  "... for these Words are trustworthy and true ..." (verse 5 of this quoted portion from Rev. 21) ... YAHU'SHUAH IS THE GOD AND FATHER OF THE OVERCOMERS.

We have another staggering confirmation in the Old Testament itself:
Zech. 12: 9,10,  YHVH states of Himself:  "And on that Day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem, so that when they look upon ME Whom they have pierced, they shall mourn ... as one weeps over a first-born."   (Original Hebrew translation).

Titus 2: 13,14,  "Looking for that blessed hope and the glorious Appearing of the GREAT GOD and our Saviour YAHU'SHUAH, Who gave Himself for us ..."

1 John 3: 16,  "Hereby perceive we the Love of GOD, because HE laid down HIS Life for us."

Acts 20: 28,  "... to feed the congregation of GOD which HE has purchased with HIS OWN Blood."

Phil. 2: 10, "That at the Name of YAHU'SHUAH every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth."

YHVH applies this event to Himself, in Isaiah 45: 22, 23,  "Look unto ME and be saved, all the ends of the earth, for I AM GOD, and there is none else.  I have sworn by Myself ... that unto ME every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."

6.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE FATHER

Isaiah 9: 6  "For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given;  and the government shall be on His shoulder, and His Name will be called:  Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting FATHER, Prince of Peace ..."

Isaiah 63: 16,  "... You, O YHVH, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old ..."

Malachi 2: 10, "Have we not all ONE FATHER?  Has not ONE GOD created us?"

Deut. 32: 6, "Is not He your Father that have bought you?"

1 Peter 1: 18,19, "For as much as you know, that we were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver or gold ,,, but with the precious Blood of YAHU'SHUAH."
 

7.  YAHU'SHUAH - THE FIRST AND LAST

Isaiah 44: 6,  "Thus says Israel's King and redeemer, YHVH Sabaoth, "I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST,  there is no other God beside Me."

Rev. 1: 7,8,  "It is He (YAHU'SHUAH) Who is coming on the clouds; every one will see Him, even those who pierced Him ... This is the Truth.  'I AM the Alpha and Omega',  says the Lord God,  ' Who is, Who was, and Who is to come, the Almighty' ".

Rev. 22: 12, 13, "Very soon now,  I shall be with you again, bringing the reward to be given to every man according to what he deserves.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.   Happy are those who will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have right to feed on the Tree of Life,  and can come through the Gates into the City" (of the New Jerusalem).

The True Name of the Messiah is YAHU'SHUAH, meaning:  Safety, Help, Salvation.

YAHU'SHUAH, fulfilling the ancient Prophecies, was:

a.  The 'Arm of YHVH'  Who led Israel out of Egypt in the Old Testament, and became the Sacrificial Lamb in the New Testament, known as the 'Son of the Most High'.

b.  The ONLY Creator of all, the One Whom the Angels worship.

c.  The Rock, the Saviour, the soon coming King of the Kingdom, where He will reign Supreme and be Father of the overcomers.

d.  Thus, it was YAHU'SHUAH Who appeared to man (as set out in Lessons 1, 2 and 3) in Old Testament times, as YHVH.  The Messiah ('Son of the Most High') was merely another manifestation of the Eternal, omnipresent and 'invisible'  God YHVH.
