-Absolute Designation of Shalum-

          


          How long will it be until those that confess to believe on the Word of YHUH understand that the circumstances, elements, countries, peoples, nations, kingdoms, and anything else that you can name ARE ALL SUBJECT TO HIS NAME AND HIS WORD.

           If you will not believe then surely you will not be established.

           Remember, YHUH knows how to deliver the Righteous. Didn't He make iron to float? Was not the sea and the river opened by His Hand for His people to cross over? The fire had no power over the bodies those that trusted in Him. Lions mouths were shut for the sake of His servant.

           The earth and all that is there in belongs to YHUH. Land, sea, air, and all things obey Him; He has ordained a day in which the wicked and all that rebel will be judged.

           Trusting Him is the absolute designation of Shalum.

-Who told you that you were naked-

   The tent of YHUH is not made with the hands of men. The Most-high has made for Himself a dwelling place, as He has said, “Let us make man in Our image and Our likeness.” YHUH breathed His own Ruack (Breath) into man, signifying that man truly was not created to do his own will but the will of His Father and Creator. YHUH Mashyck (Messiah) came and demonstrated what the purpose and authority of man’s life should look like. It is the complete representation of the Father’s will on this earth; showing forth the Loving-Kindness and authority of YH the Father.

        There has been a lot of debate on the place that the Son takes with the Father but these arguments are spoken without knowledge from the Ruack of Truth. In truth the Son does not proclaim Himself but only proclaims His Father. He has no self-existence outside of YH His Father. The Father also has never done anything without His expression being carried out by the Son.

        The idea of self that we have is a counterfeit, it comes from the flesh that has taken on a life of its own. This false life was conceived and born when Adam’s self-knowledge of good and evil replaced the truth given to him by YH YHUH.

        If you will bring to your memory that YHUH did not tell the man and woman they were naked, nor did He declare to them that it was wrong. They both walked naked and were not ashamed. So where did that knowledge come from? It was born inside the man and his wife, it replaced the innocent peace they walked in before eating of the fruit of the tree. Self-knowledge is an enemy to the plan that YHUH has for your life. After eating of the tree they hid themselves away from their Creator, fear now taking control of the confused mind. Think just for a moment of the first question YHUH posed to the man after they ate of the tree.

        “Who told you that you were naked?”

        Can you answer that question? Many would quickly say it was the serpent but that would not be true. He only sparked the idea to eat of the tree, not what to think about being naked. The woman first ate of the fruits of the flesh, believing what she saw and then gave the same to her husband who was with her.

        It reads like this, “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.”

        So they looked at the tree and made their conclusion based on what they saw. This was in stark contrast to what YHUH said about that same tree.

        The view YHUH gave of that tree for the man and woman was this, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.”

        His Word Vs. the witness of the flesh. 

        Self-witness Vs. His witness.

        The mystery here is great but to sum it up shortly, your self-existence is a lie. It is death to have your own understanding of the creation of YHUH. Only by denying yourself as Mashyck (Messiah) gave us example can we walk in true life. The flesh was never supposed to have its own life. This is what it means when we are commanded not to drink the blood, for the life of the flesh is in the blood. The flesh was made from the dust of the earth and had no life until the Ruack of YHUH was breathed into it.

        YHUH Mashyck (Messiah) poured out His blood as an example to show to us that the life is not in the flesh but in the Ruack. He lives without the flesh having any dominion at all.

        Are you ready to live a life without yourself? If you are then you are ready to follow YHUH Mashyck (Messiah) to fulfill the will of your Father in Shamym.

-Dabar, Logos, The Word-

          There is a word, Dabar (Strong’s H1697), that is used 1439 times in the the Hebrew Scriptures alone. Its equivalent, Logos(Strong’s G3056), is used 330 times in the Greek Scriptures. For the most part our modern translation and understanding of this expression is “word” or maybe “speech” but that idea is very far from a complete comprehension of what the Ru’ach/Spirit is trying to express to us. It is of a great importance the we begin to understand the nature of what YHUH is trying to reveal about this subject.

          
        Lets start by looking at a Scripture where we can see “dabar” used twice, and in two different ways, in the same sentence.

          “After these events ^H1697 the Word ^H1697 of YHUH came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.”

Bereshith/Genesis 15:1

         Dabar is translated as “events” or in the KJV “things” and then immediately is rendered again as “Word”. Just from this one Scripture, it begins to become clearer that this word is not simply something that is spoken from someone’s mouth but is connected to events that are taking place around us. So right from the start Dabar goes from being passive and inactive to lively and dynamic. It is not just spoken or written words but it is what is taking place around us at the same time. Lets clarify this a little more with another Scripture.

          “Is anything ^H1697 too hard for YHUH? At the time appointed I will return unto you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

Bereshith/Genesis 18:14

      
           I love this Scripture just because of the first sentence, “Is anything too hard for YHUH?” I always want to standup and shout NO! Once again, Dabar is used but it is not spoken or written words, instead it is energetic and on the move, it is a job being carried out, a “thing” being completed.

         Dabar is an act, something that is being done. You may have heard the saying in times past, “A man is only as good as his word.” What this saying meant was that if what a man said didn’t line up with what a man did in his actions that the word was no good. We see Dabar being translated 51 times in the KJV as the word “act” or “acts”. It is used to describe what a person is or what they have done, as in “And, behold, the acts ^H1697 of Asa, first and last…” This is the way we can know a person not only by what the person has spoken but by their actions, and are those actions in unity with the words that the person has spoken? If the two agree, then the word is good. We see dabar used in this manner in the following Scripture.

          “And she said to the sovereign, ‘It was a true report ^H1697 that I heard in mine own land of your acts ^H1697 and of your wisdom.’”

Melakim 1/1 Kings 10:6

            The sovereigness/queen of Sheba had just finished a tour of the country and city saw all that Shaluah (Salomon) had done and built and the ways of the people and servants of the kingdom. The Scriptures record these things as the Dabar of Shaluah (Salomon).

            One might conclude that this idea of the word being an action or an expression of what one is, would be lost if a jump is made from one language to another. However, this does not seem to be the case if the Hebrew and Greek scriptures are examined. The same idea is conveyed in each language.

           
           In the Greek the counterpart to Dabar is Logos, and the first time it is listed is not about the spoken or written word but about actions.

            “But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause ^G3056 of fornication, causes her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.”

            MattithYAHU/Matthew 5:32

            Just as dabar is defined as an action as well as the spoken or written word, so also is logos defined in the same way. The Scriptures reveal these words used to define what someone is. We are ever one with our dabar or logos, whether for good or evil you and I can never escape the nature of this idea. The parables of YHUH Ha’ Mashach enforce this concept, and in one sentence conveys that dabar is indeed a tangible manifestation of what something is instead of an abstract theoretical  idea that can’t be touched.

            “The sower sows the word. ^G3056”

Marqos/Mark 4:14

           
          Mat.8:16 displays the Word in action as we see it manifested by casting out unwanted spirits from those that have been oppressed by them. The word doesn’t do anything as long as it remains alone in the spoken or written form. Only went it becomes active and alive because of trust in YHUH does it finally become the completed form of Dabar. This is what is understood as authority; words in unity with the actions of  the one who speaks.

           The Word begins as a seed that then grows into the plant that was contained inside that seed. If the seed is good, then the plant will be good also. There is a mystery uncovered in the seed principle; you can’t really tell what kind of seed something is just by looking at it. The true nature of what it is can only be seen once the seed is manifested into the full grown plant. In this is understood the mystery of Alhym towards us. How can we know an Alhym that cannot be seen or touched?

            The answer is not complicated, you know Him in the same way you know me. We are known but what we do. You know who you call if you are in need, maybe a brother or friend, mother or father, there is someone you call on when you are hurting or afraid. You call them because their actions have demonstrated that they are on your side and will help you. Their dabar has proven helpful to you in times of need. So once again the question remains, what informs us of Alhym’s dabar towards us?

            “In the beginning was the Word (Dabar/Logos), and the Word (Dabar/Logos) was with Alhym, and the Word (Dabar/Logos) was Alhym. He was in the beginning with Alhym. All came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.”

            Yahanan/John 1:1-2
 

            “And the Word (Dabar/Logos) became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as the only brought-forth of the Father, complete in favor and truth.”

            Yahanan/John 1:14

            The Father manifest Himself by His only Son; whatever proceeds from the heart of the Father is the Son. We cannot know the Father, we cannot see the Father, we cannot comprehend who or what His is except by the manifestation of His DABAR, His WORD… His only SON. Any contact that we have with the Father comes by Him manifesting Himself by the presence of His Son. YHUH Ha’Mashach is One with the FATHER and fulfills the Scripture, “Hear O’Yahsra’Al, YHUH our Alhym is ONE YHUH.”

            “I and my FATHER are ONE.”

            Yahanan/John 10:30

            “YHUH said unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes unto the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you should have known My Father also, and from henceforth you know Him, and have seen Him. Philippos/Philip, said to Him, Master, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. YHUH said to him, Have I been with you so long and you still have not known Me, Philippos? He who has seen Me has seen the Father, and how do you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The Words/Dabar/Logos that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself. But the Father that stays in Me does His Works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me, otherwise believe Me for the very works' sake.”

            Yahanan 14:6-11

           The conclusion is that Dabar/Word/Logos is the display or expression of what one is. Only by one's actions and words can one be known by another. This is a wonderful and humbling thing to perceive; YHUH is truly ONE. In order to continue into His Kingdom you and I must become united in the body of His Dabar. We must follow the Head of this Body and defer from our own Dabar and enter into His will. We were created to do His will and not our own.

          

            HE HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO US BY MANIFESTING HIS DABAR IN THE FLESH. HE IS THE WAY, NOT WALKING AFTER OUR SELF AND OUR WILL BUT AFTER THE WILL OF OUR FATHER IN THE SHAMYM.
