Beholding Scripture Anew
The Creator of the universe has set-apart His Message for Humanity in His Sacred-Scripture, much of which has been preserved in the Bible. His written-word stimulates our mental and spiritual awareness to the reality of His existence by recording His interaction with Humanity throughout its pages. This interaction gives testimony to His just and up-right character while also revealing the mystery of His Will, that is, Humanity’s redemption through His Anointed-One (the Messiah). The aspiration of this WebSite is to Harvest the substance of both the Written-Word and the Living-Word of YHWH (link) according to His Purpose and Will, in harmony with Ephesians 1:7-11, 22, 23.
The meaning of the above statement, “according to His Purpose and Will”, is highlighted by the underlined words in the verses below.
7. In him (his dearly loved Son) we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of his grace
8. that he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight.
9. He did this when he revealed to us the mystery of his will (when He revealed to us the divine-secret of His will), according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ (that He purposed in Christ),
10. toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ—the things in heaven and the things on earth.
11. In Christ we too have been claimed as God’s own possession (we too have been claimed as God’s own heritage), since we were predestined according to the purpose (since we were predetermined or foreordained according to the purpose) of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will (of Him who accomplishes all things according to the purpose and volition of his will).
(Verses 22 and 23 reiterate and expound on Verse 10.)
22. And God put all things under Christ’s feet, and gave him to the church as head over all things.
23. Now the church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
In order to comprehend, and in so doing, appreciate, the mystery of His Will, the opening pages of the Bible transport us to, In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). The mystery of His Will governs the immutable decrees that serve as the framework of existence itself and is therefore woven throughout the seen and the unseen expression of Creation. The existence of Time-Space-Matter (Creation) is so astounding (that is, when we allow ourself to slow down enough to see it for what it truly is) that we have no choice but to gasp in awe when we finally acknowledge the complexity of its orderliness and purposefulness while falling captive to its undeniable beauty. In our attempt to grasp that there is a Creator Who actually exists . . . Who has the ability to configure the wonders of this vast Creation . . . the sheer vastness of its existence is truly an overwhelming realization, especially in contrast to our human limitations and frailties . . .
. . . so . . . Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you possess understanding . . . Do you know the laws of the heavens, or can you set up their rule over the earth? (Job 38:4, 33). Who can answer these simple, yet inexplicable questions? Job was overwhelmed and greatly humbled by the barrage of questions that left him speechless. (Job, chapters 38 & 39). Questions that were designed to challenge Job’s limited perspective concerning the existence of Creation, causing him to truly evaluate the rationality and structure of what reality actually is, or isn’t. To slow down enough to ponder, to be halted in the tracks of his daily life long enough to contemplate the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of existence itself . . . and ‘who’ am I, as the marvels of life unfold around me? Job’s inability to speak (Job 40:3-5) reflects the daunting task of attempting to find resolve, that is, to acquire satisfying answers in the midst of life’s complexities. Humanity perpetually wrestles with this task of discovery . . . a curiosity that has influenced the development of this Website centuries after Job’s encounter with his Maker. An encounter that highlights the wisdom of Proverbs 3:5, Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding, . . . an encounter that intentionally tugs at the sincerity and the honesty of one’s heart as cautioned in Proverbs 16:2, All a person’s ways seem right in his own opinion, but the LORD evaluates the motives, . . . an encounter that directs us to the rationality and promise of Proverbs 16:3, Commit your works to the LORD, and your plans will be established.
Although many of the questions that confronted Job still dangle before us unanswered, the ability to understand the purpose of our life is readily available to us, specifically for those pursuing the heart of their Maker. Purposefully concealed and tastefully adorned by the wonders of Creation, the Appointed-Times of YHWH (His feast-days, the authentic biblical-holidays) provide some tangible insight to the ordained order of Creation and our purpose within it. The sacrifice that Yahoshua (link) submitted Himself to on the Cross (torture stake) actually set-into-motion a sequence of events that display the chronological unfolding of the Appointed-Times (the feast-days as listed in Leviticus 23) while at the same time unveiling the prophetic target that the Appointed-Times were prearranged to highlight. Meaning, YHWH purposefully designed these holy-days to showcase the mystery of the Gospel, both in their historical prototypes found in the ‘Old Covenant’ (this refers to inspirational storylines and miracles along with the elaborate design of the temple and the priesthood) and their prophetic fulfillment found in the Gospel (this refers to the eternal-spiritual promises realized in the Better-New Covenant). It is the intention of this WebSite to unveil the profound mystery of the Gospel that is situated within YHWH’s Appointed-Times, with the example of Job’s reverence and humility to YHWH moderating the entirety of this presentation.

In light of the fact that the mystery of YHWH’s Will has been woven throughout the whole of Creation, well, this should capture our curiosity, it should stimulate our imagination, it should stir our inner-being . . . to say wow! . . . to question why? . . . to exclaim, look at what’s happening! Matthew 7:7-8 verifies the benefits of properly pursuing the purpose of Creation, our existence and our innate drive to discover the answers to all of the . . . why-s . . . we encounter in life? 7. Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. 8. For everyone who asks receives and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Although this evidence is in plain sight (that is, to those who ask, to those who seek and to those who knock), even so, it seems to be either hidden from or ignored by many people. Let’s take a brief look at these four obvious, although often marginalized, indications of our Creator’s ‘fingerprint’.
The first indication includes the sphere we dwell on and all of the marvels that decorate it. The fact that it is spinning while rotating around the sun and that a massive universe envelops our little planet is astounding. The probing eye-of-science is not blind to the multiple factors that determine Earth’s crucial yet precarious positioning in our solar system. This strategic positioning creates an environment that encourages enormous varieties of life to flourish on planet Earth. Buried within the fabric of these multiple expressions of Life is a ‘Book’ that surprisingly opens up to us . . . yes, a Book that contains a highly intelligent format of directives. These directives unlock the intricate details that are required for the DNA and RNA sequences to decipher and implement this well-designed genetic code. This Book-of-Life is essential for nearly every, if not all, known forms of life to replicate in the wide range of environments that planet Earth imparts to us.
To purport that everything that "is", came from nothing that "never was", doesn’t fit well with the elaborate processes and phenomena of the physical existence that embraces us, that is, the established-law and precise-order of physics. To behold the Creation before us and to acknowledge that the finger of its Creator has been imprinted upon its wonders . . . this is authentic, unadulterated science. The synchronicity and harmony displayed in the heavens and the earth are clearly not the result of random accidents occurring over a ‘really-big-number’ of years.
The wonders of Creation give attention to the second indication that there is a Creator; the ingenuity and creativity of Humanity. As humans we have the instinct to survive, to protect and to comfort ourselves. Our ability to reason, to plan and even the fact that we are aware that we exist, moves us far beyond the animal instinct to merely survive or exist. As we exercise our intellect, imagination, creativity and pursue our purpose for life, it is not that difficult to observe the parallels of intelligence concerning the specificity of function and purpose in our own life with that of the physical Creation that surrounds us.
To purport that out of absolute nothing-ness, ‘something-ness’ unintentionally came to physically ‘be’ . . . perpetually evolving aimlessly . . . with just the right amount of TIME . . . to accidentally mutate into the splendor of the human-being is physically insurmountable. This groundless ‘hypothesis’ is not only an insult to our common sense, it also blatantly ignores the due logic of ‘design and order’ that the wonders of the human-being (physical Creation) demonstrate to us. The intelligence, creativity and ingenuity inherent to Humanity are clearly not the result of random mutations accidentally synchronizing themselves over a ‘really-big-number’ of years.
The wonders of Creation and the ingenuity of Humanity point us to the third indication that there is a Creator; the Sacred-Scripture of YHWH. Biblical Scripture is the accumulation of writings that give testimony to YHWH’s interaction with Humanity. As humans, we have been equipped with intelligence, observation, intuition, insight, creativity, curiosity and an innate query of probing beyond our physical surroundings. His Word stimulates and inspires us to discover our true potential as an individual and ‘what’ it is that our inner-being is inherently seeking for. A diligent and sincere inquiry of the written-word will not only enhance our journey of discovery, it will unfold the directives of the spiritual ‘DNA Code’ that enables us to replicate His will (Life-Giving-Spirit)) on planet Earth.
The whole of the written-word ultimately points to the sacrifice of Yahoshua on the Cross (torture-stake). This action is not a mere symbolic token of Grace and Forgiveness that would presumptuously allow us to continue to fondle with the very sin that destroys us. Quite the opposite is true. His sacrifice initiates the substance (power and authority) that liberates us from being slaves of sin and transforms our core-being into a vessel-of-honor, indeed. Yahoshua said, I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6b).
To purport that Humanity’s disorder and evil somehow negate the obvious existence of a Created-Order is very disingenuous. On the contrary, Humanity’s dysfunctional and destructive tendencies serve to magnify the abundant insight that is presented in YHWH’s written-word. This helps us discern and distinguish YHWH’s ordained order from the obvious errors and blunders of Humanity’s vast spectrum of mythologies, pseudo-science, perceived realities and often, evil intent. The Bible’s expansive time-frame (the content of the Bible was written during a span of approximately 1,500 years) highlights the careful development of significant historical events that are infused with prophetic insight. All the while, a harmonious thread unites these ordained events that clearly resonate with a divine message of justice and mercy. The preservation of YHWH’s authentic Sacred-Scripture is definitely not the result of a hodge-podge of human thought and ideas that have haphazardly stumbled together throughout the centuries.
The three previous indications give rise to the fourth indication that there is a Creator; the divine essence (Spirit) of YHWH that sustains the entire Creation. Following are brief summaries in reference to the first three indications previously mentioned: Creation, Humanity and Biblical-Scripture, respectively. First, the patterns of intelligence and purpose observed in the vastness of Creation, as stated in Romans 1:20, For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse; second, the likeness of YHWH’s creativity and intelligence that are inherent to Humanity, as stated in Genesis 1:27, God created humankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them, male and female he created them; and third, the inspiration and profoundness of Scripture, as stated in 2 Timothy 3:16, Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness; the very existence of these three indications confirm that His essence permeates all of Creation. The remaining paragraphs of this section (Forth Witness - YHWH’s Ever-Present Spirit) will attempt to explain this statement.
In order to be aware of and appreciate the permeating presence of YHWH, it must be set in contrast to the Adamic Dilemma . . . the dilemma why . . . why the first three indications (Creation, Humanity and Scripture) all can, have been, and will be adulterated, to some degree, by the whole of Humanity. The human-tendency to deviate from YHWH's ordained-order is the consequence and perpetuation of Adam and Eve's rebellion in the Garden. This tragic event is summarized in chapter three of the first book of the Bible, Genesis. Although the event itself is immersed in a landscape that is very foreign to us today, its profound truth and symbolism clearly resonate with us millennia later. The rejection of YHWH's word that separated them from their Creator, in like manner, is spilling over into a great gulf that separates so many individuals from their Creator today. Whether an individual deliberately runs from or slowly drifts, somewhat unintentionally, from the ordained-order of YHWH, the ignorance and confusion along with the rebellion and pride of each individual compounds the destructive consequences of the collective-human-will, consequently, the Adamic Dilemma
When Adam and Eve indulged in the ‘Tree’ of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they found themselves frighteningly vulnerable. Uncertain of the fear they were experiencing, they attempted to hide (separate) themselves from the presence of YHWH while instinctively covering their bodies with cloaks of leaves. Their reaction was a feeble attempt to cover over the confusion and uncertainty they were experiencing which was a direct result of coming into the knowledge of ‘Good and Evil’ through disobedience. This of course stands in direct contrast to simply honoring the Word of YHWH by submitting to the ordained order of His Creation in willful obedience. Humanity’s enticement to side-step, to ignore and to hide from the will of YHWH is due to the confusion and disorder that is imprinted upon the heart of the prideful and rebellious, that is, the disobedient. Inevitably this disorder causes a sense of un-wholeness, a sense of abandonment which stirs-up an uncertainty of one’s true identity. This uncertainty distorts our understanding of Creation which causes us to deviate from our true purpose of life. The lack of resolve and uneasiness that haunts a disobedient heart, drives an individual to fabricate a wide range of elaborate coverings and distractions. This is similar to the 'coverings' that Adam and Eve fabricated in their attempt to hide themselves, yes, to distract themselves from their altered state-of-being, essentially, ignoring or denying their true condition.
With great futility and dire consequences Humanity has persisted throughout the centuries to hone this art-of-ignorance to no avail. This misguided instinct to conceal one's true state-of-being, in order to protect oneself from the pain of disobedience and sin, will gradually harden an individual’s heart. As the heart hardens, the truth of YHWH begins to fade from one’s consciousness, ever becoming more and more unrecognizable to the disobedient heart.
It is with much sorrow that YHWH watches (permits) His ‘image-bearers’ inflict chaos upon the order and purpose of His Creation due to their altered, and thereby, dysfunctional nature. Even so, it is with great patience (purpose) that He also pursues His own will, to specifically address and provide remedy for the consequences of Humanity’s fallen nature. Through the abundance of His divine-wisdom and eternal-love He bears the ill-freewill of each individual with longsuffering and purpose, because he does not wish for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. (2Peter 3:9b)
Even so, the natural consequences of disobeying YHWH’s order and purpose for Creation will inevitably inflict, to some degree, a wounded-ness or a broken-ness upon each individual. To indulge in or pander to the symptoms of one's wounded-ness, is similar to a drug addict returning to the source of their addiction; ever seeking resolve in the very thing that is causing the problem to begin with. On the other hand, authentic broken-ness leads to contrition, where one's "conscience is crushed by the weight of its own guilt"; resulting in authentic remorse and a deep sorrow for any wrongdoing and sin. But to this one I (YHWH) will look [graciously] to him who is humble and contrite in spirit, and who [reverently] trembles at My word and honors My commands. (Isaiah 66:2b - Amplified Bible).
With great love and sensitivity Father-YHWH utilizes the brokenness of each individual in order to expose the secret sins, the deep-seated-fears and the frustrations that are hidden behind the well-crafted (fig) leaves; which are merely human fabrications that distract from and even justify toxic choices. When the Light of YHWH exposes (softens) the calloused shield that is attempting to cover one’s heart, then the compassion and mercy of YHWH become a viable (logical) option from a futile life of ever hiding from or subconsciously eluding one’s true condition. When our freewill is submissive to the orderliness and purpose of Creation, then YHWH’s Truth (Spirit) liberates us from the weight of our self-inflicted guilt and oppression. Not only do we experience relief from the painful and destructive consequences that sin (pride) imposes upon us in this life, we are also liberated from Humanity’s ultimate destiny of eternal-judgment that everyone has inherited from Adam and Eve’s sin-nature.
This awareness gives veracity to YHWH’s terms of reconciliation (salvation) that has been validated by Yahoshua’s blood sacrifice for Humanity’s sins. Through authentic repentance YHWH’s mercy imprints ‘redeemed’ (liberated) upon the heart of the humble. This empowers us to walk according to the Spirit, that is, to freely walk in the presence and influence of Truth and Love, rather than in a cloud of unclean fear due to the oppression of sin and the guilt of disobedience. If the path of brokenness to redemption is rejected, then the wounded-ness of disobedience becomes a fundamental part of one's impaired character.
YHWH’s Holy Spirit, the fourth indication, actually sustains the whole of Creation. This is true because His divine essence (YHWH’s spiritual presence) has been woven throughout the fabric of Time-Space-Matter. His sustaining presence serves as the impetus (divine volition) and the consciousness (moral compass) of the three previous indications; Creation, Humanity and Scripture. His presence is constantly attending to the human-dilemma that is described in the previous seven paragraphs . . . continually offering remedy for the consequences of Humanity’s disobedience . . . a remedy that points to the Cause-of-Creation . . . a remedy that gives recognition to ‘Who’ fabricated Creation . . . revealing that Creation has been designed to specifically advance this remedy . . . ultimately focusing on Yahoshua’s ministry of reconciliation. Yahoshua is therefore the express image of YHWH’s unseen presence, meaning, His human body is the earthly-instrument that has been animated by YHWH’s Holy Spirit to reveal YHWH’s character traits in human-form. For this reason, the fourth indication, Holy Spirit, as expressed in the other three witnesses (Creation, Humanity and Scripture), is undeniably multi-dimensional in both His purpose and expression, as stated in Colossians 1:15-20:
15. He (Messiah) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation,
16. for all things in heaven and on earth were created in him—all things, whether visible or invisible, whether thrones or dominions, whether principalities or powers—all things were created through him and for him.
17. He himself is before all things, and all things are held together in him.
18. He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things (that in all things he might have the preeminence, that is, and the proper recognition of His supremacy).
19. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son,
20. and through him to reconcile all things to himself by making peace through the blood of his cross—through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
From the Eternal-Perspective of YHWH, human chaos and confusion neither undermine His purpose for Creation, nor do they explain away His existence. Instead, they clearly (logically) make obvious humanity’s need to acknowledge YHWH’s presence in Creation as He offers redemption in the midst of the chaotic consequences that Humanity continually incurs upon itself.
Simply surrender to His Gift!
The HomePage has been fashioned, to some degree, to parallel the opening format of the Bible: Creation, Humanity’s fallen nature and the ultimate hope revealed in Messiah. The manner in which the WebSite is being presented serves as a narrative to the Bible. Not simply from an historical perspective, rather, by disclosing the script that is working behind the scene to enact the
unseen role of the Gospel as it influences the entire progression of the Bible; from before its opening pages to beyond its closing pages. By applying the mystery of the Gospel to the WebSite commentaries, it enhances the advancement of the Bible’s storyline by giving meaning and substance to its stories, it provides understanding to its spiritual teachings and it stimulates the insight required to behold its prophetic messages.
Section 1~1 wraps-up the Website’s aspiration into knowing the importance of harvesting Scripture in light of Creation’s purpose. When YHWH set-apart and ordained the original Seventh-Day Sabbath, it was established as a resounding memorial, to this day, to the ordained order and purpose of Creation, that is, it is bursting with the spiritual DNA code that unfolds into the mystery of his will. Ephesians 1:7-11, 22, 23, then confirms the mystery, that, in Christ we too have been claimed as God’s own possession, since we were predestined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to the counsel of his will . . . then our Creator hits it home by asking Job (and us too) some simple, yet inexplicable questions . . . so . . . Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you possess understanding . . . Do you know the laws of the heavens, or can you set up their rule over the earth? . . . to this day, we still do not know how the laws of heavens operate, yet in section 1~2 the Creator's fingerprint does point us to ‘why’ the heavens and the earth do exist. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen because they are understood through what has been made. Creation, the splendor of our own existence and the spiritual insight that has been secured in the written-word (Bible), all unashamedly proclaim our Creator’s presence. Yet, for so many people His ever-present-Spirit remains hidden in plain sight, due to sheer ignorance or some type of disdain for the Light, So people are without excuse. Colossians 1:15-20 sounds the shofar (the trumpet) to the multi-dimensional expressions of YHWH ever-present-Spirit as realized through the human form of Yahoshua.
The cyclical and resounding essence of YHWH’s Word is ever resonating His divine purpose throughout the whole of Creation while His written-word records its progression. From the very beginning of Time-Space-Matter, YHWH designed a full-proof method to reconcile all things to Himself. To ensure His purpose would be realized, He entwined His essence (Holy Spirit) throughout the entirety of His creation. Eventually, He would further exhibit His ever-present Spirit by demonstrating His righteous characteristics and His holy attributes in the similitude of human-form through Yahoshua.
As to see through the spiritual-eyes of Father-YHWH, we behold planet Earth, along with all of its marvels, as a platform, a stage by which His will is displayed. Humanity serves as the conduit by which YHWH animates His will in various earthly expressions on this stage that we call life. The purpose of the Sacred-Scripture is to record YHWH’s will as it unravels (develops) within the pre-ordained order of Time-Space-Matter. As the order of His will unfolds, it continually unveils the ever-present-Spirit of YHWH working in, through and around the entirety of Creation. His ever-present-Spirit ensures that Creation, Humanity and Biblical-Scripture hold true to their ordained directives in order to reveal to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth (purposed) in Christ.
As stated in the opening paragraph of this page, the aspiration of this WebSite is to harvest the Word of YHWH according to His purpose and will. The four principal witnesses stated above (Creation, Humanity, Biblical-Scripture and YHWH’s Ever-Present-Spirit), together, serve as a platform by which the cause/reason, the objective/aim and the intention/meaning of Creation are made evident. The purpose of Creation ultimately reveals the will of YHWH by expressing His heart’s desire for Humanity’s spiritual-well-being. Since His compassion for Humanity spiritual well-being has been clearly demonstrated through Yahoshua’s sin-sacrifice, it is then with great reverence that the objective of this WebSite is being pursued. The specific aim is to understand how the Appointed-Times (Moedim - link)that Israel received through Moses actually foreshadowed the initial expression of the Gospel that Yahoshua’s disciples would have experienced in first-century Israel. The unfolding of the Appointed-Times, in first-century Israel, initiated the continual fulfillment of the Divine-Appointments. Meaning, the deliberate sequence of the seven Appointed-Times outlines the prophetic development and continual advancement of the Gospel. Both of these subjects, the Appointed-Times and the Gospel, are recorded in the Bible. Scripture is used to document the transformation of the Appointed-Times of the Old Covenant into the marvelous Light of YHWH’s Salvation as displayed through His Divine-Appointments (Moedim - link) of the New Covenant. to Harvest the substance of both the Written-Word and the Living-Word of

Beholding Scripture Anew
YHWH’s Appointed-Times (holy-days / holidays) provide an outline for the unfolding of the Gospel. The following four sections give attention to the authority of Scripture since it plays such an essential role in the Advancement of the Gospel: 4. Biblical Scripture - The Written-Word, 5. His Word Does Not Return Void, 6. Preeminence of the Word, and 7. On the Road to Emmaus.

16. Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
17. that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.
4. For everything that was written in former times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.
Biblical Scripture serves as a written account and testimony of the Living-Word of YHWH. It is essentially a blueprint of the ‘mind’ of YHWH in reference to His purpose and desired relationship with Humanity on planet Earth. The written-word helps us to become aware of, it inspires us to search for and it encourages us to embrace the Will (Word) of YHWH. His purpose is to lead us into a relationship with Him that transforms the core of our being while sanctifying us due to our interaction (influence) with Him. Our interaction with Him equips us to live out His will on Earth while preparing us to assimilate with Him in His eternal existence, Life-Eternal.
There are examples in the Bible that clearly state YHWH's Word will not (cannot) return to Him void or incomplete. Following are two of these examples from the book of Isaiah.
9. Remember what I accomplished in antiquity. Truly I am God, I have no peer; I am God, and there is none like me,
10. who announces the end from the beginning and reveals beforehand what has not yet occurred; who says, My plan will be realized, I will accomplish what I desire,
10. The rain and snow fall from the sky and do not return, but instead water the earth and make it produce and yield crops, and provide seed for the planter and food for those who must eat.
11. In the same way, the promise that I make does not return to me having accomplished nothing, No, it is realized as I desire and is fulfilled as I intend.
There is no variation or deviation in the Word of YHWH, whether spoken or written, because it is realized as I desire and is fulfilled as I intend. Apostle Peter echoes a similar declaration concerning the prophetic word recorded by the prophets.
19. Moreover, we possess the prophetic word as an altogether reliable thing. You do well if you pay attention to this as you would to a light shining in a murky place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20. Above all, you do well if you recognize this: no prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination,
21. for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
True reverence for the Word of YHWH is to understand and accept its purpose according to the will of YHWH. No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination. This gives emphasis to the fact that YHWH is the sole Source of inspired Scripture. For this reason His Word cannot be subject to human impulse or one’s own imagination including anyone’s private interpretation, tradition, agenda, inclination, presupposition, feeling, misunderstanding or abuse.
5. Every word of God is purified; he is like a shield for those who take refuge in him.
6. Do not add to his words, lest he reprove you and prove you to be a liar.
The Word of YHWH is intentionally designed to accomplish His will, according to the purpose in which each aspect of His Word has been established. His Word and His Action are inseparable and will always be in harmony with one another. Our faith and trust must be situated in the certainty of His Word while our hope and vision are illuminated by the Promises that have been secured by His Word.
1. After God spoke long ago in various portions and in various ways to our ancestors through the prophets,
2. in these last days he has spoken to us in a son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he created the world.
3. The Son is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word, and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Throughout history YHWH’s prophets and His written-word were consistently pointing to the substance and character of the Living-Word, the very essence and Spirit of YHWH. As the Gospel of YHWH began to unravel with Yahoshua’s birth and ministry, the inspired-words of the prophets recorded in the holy-script began to unfold in real time. The Word of YHWH animated the physical life of Yahoshua as He became the literal demonstration of Torah (the Law) and the fruition of YHWH’s written-word (the fulfillment of Scripture). While fulfilling His ministry He became the actual embodiment of the divine Word (Logos) that had been ordained from the beginning of time when YHWH spoke the heavens and earth into existence.
This same Spirit (Word) that embodied and animated Yahoshua inspired the authors of the ‘new covenant’ writings to make multiple references to the ‘old covenant’ writings (Scripture). They were inspired to quote from these Scriptures because YHWH had cleverly (divinely) designed the written-word to serve as a road map that would methodically reveal the deliberate progression of His will. The details of the written-word harmonizing with the embodiment of the Living-Word in Yahoshua, validate the preeminence of the Word as declared in John 1:1-5. Script and Spirit working together to unveil YHWH’s plan of salvation. The significance of John 1:1-5 will be unveiled in a later section, Gospel Timeline, Section One.
To further emphasize the significance and importance of Scripture, the following verses are being presented, Luke 24:13-35. This is an account concerning two of Yahoshua’s disciples walking from Jerusalem to a village called Emmaus, shortly after Yahoshua’s crucifixion. During their journey they encounter the resurrected Messiah . . .
The underlined sentences below give emphasis to their reference to Scripture; they are not SiteLinks.
13. Now that very day (the day of discovering Yahoshua’s empty tomb) two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14. They were talking to each other about all the things that had happened.
15. While they were talking and debating these things, Jesus himself approached and began to accompany them
16. (but their eyes were kept from recognizing him).
17. Then he said to them, “What are these matters you are discussing so intently as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking sad.
18. Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have happened there in these days?”
19. He said to them, “What things?” “The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied, “a man who, with his powerful deeds and words, proved to be a prophet before God and all the people;
20. and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21. But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. Not only this, but it is now the third day since these things happened.
22. Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
23. and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.
24. Then some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.”
25. So he said to them, “You foolish people—how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26. Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and enter into his glory?”
27. Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures.
28. So they approached the village where they were going. He acted as though he wanted to go farther,
29. but they urged him, “Stay with us because it is getting toward evening and the day is almost done.” So he went in to stay with them.
30. When he had taken his place at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.
31. At this point their eyes were opened and they recognized him. Then he vanished out of their sight.
32. They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us while he was speaking with us on the road, while he was explaining the scriptures to us?”
33. So they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. They found the eleven and those with them gathered together.
34. and saying, “The Lord has really risen and has appeared to Simon!”
35. Then they told what had happened on the road, and how they recognized him when he broke the bread.
Yahoshua’s disciples spent choice time with Him, yet they did not understand the deeper meaning of Scripture concerning the purpose and destiny of their own Rabbi. What an awesome experience to have the resurrected Messiah interpret to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures.
Creator-YHWH carefully orchestrated the development of His holy-script throughout its long and purposeful progression (history). During His ministry and especially after His Resurrection, Messiah Yahoshua became the realization of this holy-script. He was able to explain His ministry to His disciples by revealing the deeper meaning of the very Scripture they had known from their youth. Scripture gives testimony to the divine purpose and will of YHWH just as He had ordained it from the beginning of time.
