How many of you consider YHVH your Father? Did
you ever stop to think that metaphorically speaking YHVH is both our
Father and our Mother?
Matthew 23:8-10,
8 But be ye not called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Messiah; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father (YHVH), which is in heaven (but Messiah was on the earth).
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master (teacher), even Messiah.
Job 1:20-22
20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped (YHVH),
21 And said, Naked came I (physically) out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: The Mighty EL (YHVH) gave (me physical life and prosperity), and The Mighty EL (YHVH) hath taken away (life and prosperity); blessed be the name of The Mighty EL (YHVH) .
22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged YHVH foolishly.
Those of us that have studied the ancient Hebrew people can certainly
understand the female aspect of YHVH (metaphorically
speaking). Interestingly, the Hebrew people
considered YHVH's (Holy Spirit) to
be His feminine attribute. Yes, The Ruach Qodesh (Holy
Spirit) was always spoken of in the feminine
gender; that is until the Greeks and Romans came along and started
messing everything up. See: "Holy
Spirit Revealed".
Did you ever stop to think that your Earth Parents (as one) symbolically
represent YHVH? As a matter of fact every aspect of our
Heavenly Father can and is represented metaphorically (parables,
etc.) by "The Very Nature" of His
creations. See: "Parallels
And Parables".
Romans 1:20
For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made (created), even His Eternal Power and Divinity; so that they (humans) are without excuse:
This brings us to "The Ten Commandments" in which
the first four Commandment are strictly Spiritually Oriented (Spiritually
to physically paralleled concerning Love and Respect for YHVH),
the last five are physically oriented (Physically
to Spiritually paralleled concerning Love and respect between Human
Beings), but the Fifth Commandment is both a "Spiritual
to Physical" and a "Physical to Spiritual" parallel (metaphor) that
establishes our Earth Parents (as
created by YHVH) as being metaphorically
representative of YHVH and His Parental
Attributes. Moreover, all Commandments are relationship oriented
aspects of Righteousness (True
Love).
In the beginning, "The
Ancient Hebrew" understood this parental relationship with YHVH,
and incorporated this understanding into their thoughts and language.
In fact this parental relationship was so well understood and
believed, that it was inferred by tradition and practice,
and was the basis all applicable conversations.
John 8:56-58
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my (Messiah's) day: and he saw it (envisioned it), and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? (Pre-existed according to the worldly concept?)
58 Y'shua said unto them," Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am" (He, who was PLANNED or preexisted according to the Midrash tradition).
In John 8:58 Y'shua claimed superiority over Abraham. His supreme
position, however, depends on the Father who glorifies His Son (John 8:54). He stated that Abraham rejoiced to "see my day" (John 8:56); that is, Abraham by faith saw "Messiah's Coming" in advance of his actual arrival. The "Planned Day of Messiah" preexisted, so to speak, in Abraham's mind. It is noteworthy that Rabbinic traditions state Abraham saw a vision of the entire history of his descendants (Midrash Rabbah, XLIV, on Gen. 15:1-8)
Note: The Midrash method was employed by Ezra and his associates when Ezra read the written Law to the Jews, who had returned to Jerusalem from exile (Nehemiah 8:1-8).
(Additional commentary) says that YHVH granted Abraham a vision of the end times. The Jews of Messiah Y'shua's day misunderstood what Y'shua had said, believing that he had made a claim to actually be a contemporary of Abraham (John 8:57). However, Y'shua reaffirmed his absolute preeminence in YHVH's PLAN with the astonishing claim, "Before Abraham was, I am [he] (who Abraham envisioned)" (John 8:58.
This takes us back to JOB (the man); Who inferred that when he died he would return to his Mother YHVH's Spiritual Womb, but only if YHVH would consider "Remembering Him."
Job 14:13
O' that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time (after physical death), and remember me (unto Eternal Life).
This further infers that YHVH's (feminine
aspect) Holy Spirit is
not only considered a Spiritual Womb, but also, "A Spiritual
Life Giver", and also, a "Dwelling Place";
In human beings this mental (Spiritual) dwelling
place is called "Memory",
and apparently (metaphorically
speaking) YHVH has "Spiritual Memory".
Looks like we have come full circle on "The
Holy Spirit" for every concordance that I have ever read
refers to "The Holy Spirit" as a "Righteous
Mentality". In other words "The Natural Mind of Man" is
a "Physical to Spiritual Parallel" of "The
Spiritual Mind of YHVH"; only YHVH's mind is far "More
Powerful" and "All Knowing." Is there anybody
that believes in The Self-existent Creator that doesn't, also, believe
in His "Omnipotence" and His "Omnipresence"? In
reality there is only one self-limiting restriction to the power
of YHVH, and that one restriction (imposed
by YHVH, Himself,) is to not perform any
act(s) of unrighteousness.
So What About Preexistence?
When Scripture revealed to mankind that YHVH established "From
The Foundations of The Earth" all future boundaries, natural
laws of physics, the "Physical to Spiritual" (metaphorical) relationship
of His Creations to Himself (etc.);
it was revealing to us that EVERYTHING was PLANNED in ADVANCE,
and with NO MARGIN for ERROR!
Job 38:1-8 (Extremely Allegorical)
¶ Then YHVH answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of The Earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the Elohim shouted for joy?
8 Or who shut up the sea with (symbolic) doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Psalms 102:25
Of old hast thou (YHVH) laid the foundation of The Earth: and The Heavens are the work of thy (metaphorical) hands.
My Brethren, what you have just
read is "True Preexistence". Preexistence is not
only incorporated into the physical structure of "The Universe",
but also, into the lives of mankind. If an asteroid crashes into The
Earth, it is because it was "Planned" from "The
Foundations of The Earth" to do so. Thus, everything that physically
exists, does so "By Design." Only mankind was
given "Free Will" to choose his personal (but limited)
direction in life after
he is born, but YHVH chooses when and where he will be born. This
is, also, the extent of predestination.
"By Design" YHVH predetermined that
mankind and every living creature (both
plant and animal) would
have offspring (children,
etc.).
Isn't it now obvious that YHVH's creation was predestined to
reproduce? Isn't it now obvious that YHVH's "Anointed
Ones" (elohim
or children; including Y'shua) were planned from
the beginning of the existence of the entire universe? Is further proof
needed? If so, then consider this; what is the purpose of reproduction?
Need a hint? I'll tell you ! "Reproduction" is planned
preexistence of children; of which some will be chosen to
serve YHVH's purpose for the creation of mankind from the very beginning. It
is the main reason for the command to "Be fruitful and
multiply" (both
physically and Spiritually speaking).
Romans 8:29-30
For (Messiah) whom He did foreknow (Greek #4267, proginosko, FORESEE or preexisted in YHVH's Mind), He, also, did predestinate (Greek #4309, proorizo, predetermined or established in advance) to become (future tense) conformed into the (Spiritual) image of His (first appointed) Son, so that he (Messiah) might become (future tense) the (appointed) firstborn among many brethren (to be born (appointed) into The Kingdom Of YHVH or Of Heaven On Earth; NOT from The Kingdom).
Moreover (The Appointed Messiah AND The Appointed or Chosen Few) whom he did predestinate, them, He also called: and whom He called, them, He also justified: and whom He justified, them, He also glorified (we are already glorified in YHVH's mind, and we haven't even been resurrected yet).
Ephesians 1:5
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Messiah Y'shua unto Himself (YHVH), according to the good pleasure of His will,
Ephesians 1:11
In whom, also, we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose (PLAN) of Him (YHVH) who worketh all things (Laid The Foundations) after the counsel (Righteous Thinking) of His own will (more of the "Power Of YHVH's Holy Spirit"):
The bottom line is simply this:
Preexistence is the incorporation of a "PLAN" into "The DESIGN" of "ALL CREATION" according to a "RIGHTEOUS MOTIVE". Predestination is the future tense resultant of preexistence (a Spiritually planned and predetermined event).
Strong's Concordance:
Greek #3056, Logos; "A Motive" or "An Intent". "An Utterance with Motive or intent".
John 1:1-5 (A Major Trinitarian Deception)
1 In the beginning was the Word (Strong's #3056, LOGOS; a Motive or Intent, an utterance or thought), and the Word (Utterance with Motive or Intent) was with EL (YHVH), and the Word (Utterance with Motive or Intent) was (of) EL.
2 The same (Utterance with Motive or Intent) was in the beginning with EL (YHVH).
3 All things were made (created) by Him (YHVH according to Motive or Intent or Plan); and without Him (YHVH according to Motive or Intent or Plan) was not anything made that was made.
4 In Him (YHVH according to Motive or Intent or Plan of Salvation) was life; and the life (eternal) was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it (The Light or Gospel of Righteousness) not.
Note: The Messiah is not "The Logos;" The Messiah is the "Instrument Of Our Salvation," and the "Intent, Plan or Motive is Salvation" for YHVH's "Elect," "Appointed," or "Chosen Few."
Strong's Concordance, also, list the Messiah as the "Divine Expression," but does not say that Messiah is "The Logos." A "Divine Expression" is a figure of speech that must, also, remain within the overall meaning of the definition. Obviously, the Messiah was always "Intended" to play a major role in "Salvation." However, "The Logos" is not just simply a "Plan of Salvation", because YHVH's primary motive has always been to Spiritually Beget Righteous Children "In His Spiritual Image"; of which the Messiah is the eldest, and "The Chosen Few" are Messiah's Spiritual Siblings.
So What Is The Divine Expression?
While YHVH spoke "In the Beginning" (Genesis 1), He (YHVH) was, also, making the utterance of "The Logos". See for yourself, as "The Light" in John 1:5 is the very same "Light" spoken of in Genesis 1:1-3. Why? Because the Sun, Moon and the Stars were not created until the "Fourth Day" (Genesis 1:13-18).
John 1:5 (Allegorical Expression)
5 And the light (righteousness) shines in darkness (unrighteousness); and the darkness (Choshek - H2822- misery, destruction, sorrow, death) comprehended it (The Spiritual Light) not.
Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning EL (YHVH) created the heavens and the Earth.
2 Now the Earth was formless and empty (No Righteous Structure). Darkness (Choshek - H2822- misery, destruction, sorrow, death) was on the surface of the deep. EL's Spirit (Spiritual Womb) was hovering (looking down) over the surface of the waters.
3 EL said (or thought), "Let There Be Light," and there was light (Righteousness, Love, Understanding, Divine Wisdom).
It wasn't simply Messiah that was the "Divine Expression", it was "Messiah and His Ministry" that became "The Divine Expression."
John 8:12 Then spake Messiah Y'shua again unto them, saying, I am the "Light of the World" (Divine Expression): he that followeth (emulates) me shall not walk in darkness (unrighteousness), but shall have "The Light of Life".
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the "Light of the World".
So there you have it, "The Divine Plan of Salvation" and "The Divine Expression" ("Let There Be Light"), which was the basis for "The Laying of The Foundations Of The Earth".
So, "Did Messiah Preexist?" Well, certainly not as taught by Christianity (christopaganism).
1Peter 1:20 (speaking of Messiah)
Who verily was foreordained (Greek #4267, proginosko, FORESEE or preexisted as a PLAN in YHVH's Mind) before the foundation of the world, but was (made) manifest (became a reality) in these last times for you,
John 17:1-5 (Enlightened version)
¶ These words spake Y'shua, and lifted up his eyes to the sky, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy [APPOINTED] Son, that thy [APPOINTED] Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him authority over all flesh, that he should give eternal life [To ALL who follow his example] to as many as thou hast given [CHOSEN for] him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee [YHVH] the only true God, and [also] Messiah Y'shua, whom thou hast sent [not from heaven, but in the exact same way thou has sent other prophets].
4 I [Messiah] have glorified thee [YHVH] on the earth: I have finished the [PLANNED] assignment, which thou gavest me to do [in the exact same way thou has given assignments to other prophets].
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me [Messiah] with thine own self [Glorious RIGHTEOUS NATURE or HOLY SPIRIT] with the glory which was PLANNED by YOU from the foundations of the Earth.
Prior to his physical birth, Messiah preexisted in YHVH's Spiritual Mind as a future (pivotal role model) to ultimately become a living example of YHVH's ideal Spiritual Image according to YHVH's "Plan Of Salvation".
This is perfectly paralleled by all loving parents who plan their children in advance of bringing them into the world. And this, Brethren, is "True Preexistence" and completely inline with the inference of ancient Hebrew thinking.
Love and Blessings,
