The Sacred Ruach

The Sacred Ruach
In Scriptures, it is amply demonstrated that the Hebrew term רוח (ruach; spirit) refers to an unseen animating force, anything from a wind, to movement in a machine, to a life force. Basically, the term means “to blow, i.e., breathe” forth.¹ Its definition proves to be very important in that it helps explain Yahweh’s sacred ruach (Holy Spirit).

The sacred ruach is an incorporeal substance that comes directly from the ruach substance of father Yahweh. It is used in different ways for creating and enabling. For instance, it provided the substance breathed into Adam, which made him a living nephesh (person), thereby creating a person, a child of Yahweh.

Yet it is also separately used to further the creation of the species of Adam—enhancing human capabilities (gifts), resurrecting humans from the dead, destroying the wicked, quickening the just into eternal life, and even perfecting those quickened.

With this study, we will deal with the fact that the sacred ruach is not a person but a “substance,” defined as the breath of father Yahweh. This divine substance was the power used by our creator to bring our world and all its life forms into existence.

Yahweh versus “the LORD”

Yahweh versus “the LORD”
Does it make any difference to Yahweh that we substitute his name with the well-known and popular term “the LORD”?

The importance of using the name Yahweh and avoiding a substitute is enhanced by the willingness of Yahweh’s loyal prophets among the Israelites to die rather than abandon the sacred name. Moreover, these prophets always prophesied in the name of Yahweh, as every book of the Scriptures reveals.

The Preexistence of Yahushua the Messiah

Could it be true that Yahushua, the Messiah, existed before he became a fleshly man living on the earth?

Consider this intriguing question: Who was the divine entity that spoke to Moses and declared:

I am the eloahi of your fathers, the eloahi of Abraham, the eloahi of Isaak, and the eloahi of Jacob. (Exodus 3:6)

In Exodus 3:7, this eloahi is identified as Yahweh. Remarkably, this very eloahi is recognized as an angel in Exodus 3:2. Even more amazing, this angel is identified as the angel Yahweh in Acts 7:30-35!

How can we reconcile the implications of these scriptural references?

If you are open to exploring this further, please continue reading as we delve into Scriptures to uncover the truth.

There are at least eight pieces of evidence in Scriptures that demonstrate Yahushua preexisted as a ruach (spiritual) being or angel.

Multiple Yahwehs Revealed – Part 3

After thoroughly scrutinizing Part 1 and Part 2 one should have gotten a fairly good grasp of the direction of our investigation.

This last installment is where it will all come together and you should have a much better understanding of “Yahweh eloahim.”

The most difficult concept for many bible students to grasp is the fact that the Hebrew term “Yahweh eloahim” is not limited to father Yahweh or even to those known by the name Yahweh who are leaders in the eloahim.

The collective noun nature of the term eloahim makes Yahweh a family name. As noted in Part 2, this detail is specifically mentioned by the book of Ephesians:

For this cause I bow my knees to THE FATHER of our sovereign, Yahushua the messiah, FROM WHOM the whole family in the heavens and upon the earth is named. (Eph. 3:14-15).

Multiple Yahwehs Revealed – Part 2

After your perusing of Part 1, we are now ready for the next installment of our investigation regarding the issue of the possibility of more than one Yahweh in Scriptures.

Picking up from where we left off, what we want to do next is to recognize that the true nature of Yahweh eloahim is revealed by the evidence that eloahim is the generic term for a family of ruach beings headed by a supreme eloah named Yahweh.

The subordinates and supernumeraries within this family are in Hebrew often individually referred to as a מלאך (malak), plural מלאכים (malakim), translated into Greek as ἄγγελος (angelos), and into English as “angel.”

A malak is someone you “despatch as a deputy; a messenger,” especially an “ambassador” sent by Yahweh. The word is applied to both ruach beings (angels) and humans, although each case is easily distinguished by its context. Originally, it was an office one holds and not a generic term.

Multiple Yahwehs Revealed – Part 1

How many are aware of the fact that Scriptures indicate that there is more than one personality that is referred to as Yahweh?

Strange as it may seem, when one examines the evidence contained in Scriptures, it will reveal a surprising truth that many have never considered.

Simply put, the evidence will divulge that there are plural individuals in Scriptures referred to as Yahweh!

This concept will be demonstrated by addressing the issues surrounding the Hebrew generic terms representing “deity” and “divinity.”

We’re going to start by examining the singular form אלה (eloah), its common usage as the plural אלהי (eloahi) and as the collective noun אלהים (eloahim), as well as the scriptural concept behind the expression “Yahweh eloahim.”

Let’s proceed onward to examine the evidence. Continue reading “Multiple Yahwehs Revealed – Part 1” →
