\u00a0Ruwach <\/em>\u2013 Spirit<\/p>\n

The Spirit of Life\u2026<\/p>\n

Self-assured and religious, affluent and ignorant, the Northern Kingdom was ill prepared for the coming Assyrian assault. \u201cThough he flourishes among his brothers, a scorching east wind will come.\u201d <\/strong>And it did. This sounds like a haunting warning to the West, which while comparatively flourishing, is ill prepared for the inevitable scorching wind of satanically-inspired jihad.<\/p>\n

For both them and for us today, in time, the Ma\u2019aseyah will arrive and return as promised, and mercifully provide the ultimate source of victory: eternal life in His Covenant Family. But the Yisra\u2019elites and Yahuwdym, befuddled as ever, would reject Him. So while Howsha\u2019s prophetic letter is addressed to them, this message applies to all who do not know the Spirit of Yahowah.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Spirit <\/strong>(Ruwach<\/em>) of Yahowah <\/strong>(hwhy) will ascend out the wilderness. His source of life <\/strong>(maqowr<\/em> \u2013 the basis for purification and fountain of joy) will confound, be disapproved and treated shamefully <\/strong>(bowsh <\/em>\u2013 be pained and ashamed, be frustrated and delayed, be disappointed; experiencing the distress of a farmer with a diminished harvest). And His cistern of mercy <\/strong>(ma\u2019yan <\/em>\u2013 source of blessings, well of sustenance, fountain of life) He<\/strong> will dry up<\/strong> (hareb \u2013 <\/em>make desolate, separate, forsaken, and wasted). He will plunder the treasury of every precious and beloved article <\/strong>(kaly<\/em> \u2013 vessel, armor bearer, implement, and possession).\u201d <\/strong>(Howsha\u2019 \/ He Saves \/ Hosea 13:15)<\/p>\n

The east wind could mean drought, Satan, the Assyrians, Muslims, or more likely, all of the above. But the Spirit of Yahowah which ascends out of the wilderness is the Ma\u2019aseyah. Matthew records the event: \u201cNow, in these days, John the Immerser came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying: \u2018Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet, saying, \u201cThe voice of one crying in the wilderness, make ready the way of Yahowah. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God.\u201d\u2019\u201d<\/strong> (Mattanyah \/ Matthew 3:2-4 from Yasha\u2019yah \/ Isaiah 40:3)<\/p>\n

Yahowchanan was announcing the arrival of Yahowah as Immanuel\u2014God with us\u2014the Ma\u2019aseyah. Howsha\u2019 was telling us that the Ma\u2019aseyah is the \u201cbasis for purification and thus the source of life.\u201d But he also foretells that the Spirit of Yahowah would \u201cconfound\u201d the Jews, causing them to disapprove of Him and treat Him shamefully\u2014frustrating and delaying their national redemption for 2,000 years. This would cause Yahowah, in the person of Yahowsha\u2019, to \u201cexperience the distress of a farmer with a diminished harvest.\u201d By crucifying the \u201ccistern of mercy,\u201d rejecting the \u201cbasis of purification,\u201d and murdering the \u201csource of life\u201d these Jews, and all those who have followed their example, have lost everything of value\u2014their wealth, land, freedom, life, soul, and God.<\/p>\n

The \u201cconfound\u201d aspect of bowsh<\/em> is particularly revealing. It suggests that the Jews were \u201cpuzzled, mystified, confused, baffled, and bewildered.\u201d They didn\u2019t murder the Ma\u2019aseyah based upon understanding or reason, but out of confusion and bewilderment. Ignorance isn\u2019t bliss\u2014yada<\/em> is.<\/p>\n

Howsha\u2019 was not only announcing the arrival of the Ma\u2019aseyah, and defining His mission of salvation, he was confirming in advance what would happen and why. The Jews, and all others who have access to these writings, are without excuse. And that means you.<\/p>\n

Here is the consequence: \u201cSamaria [the land and\/or the capitol city of the Northern Kingdom] will be held guilty <\/strong>(\u2018asham<\/em> \u2013 will become desolate, separated, forsaken and damned), for she has rebelled against <\/strong>(marah<\/em> \u2013 provoked and been contentious with) God. They will fall by the sword. Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open.\u201d <\/strong>(Howsha\u2019 \/ He Saves \/ Hosea 13:16)<\/p>\n

When we separate ourselves from God we lose His protection. Israel is the prime example. But America is on the cusp of feeling this sting, too. As we will discover when we review Isaiah 17 and 18, what happened to Israel will happen to us. It all begins when a nation or individuals rebel against God. Such provocation and contentiousness always leads to the same undesirable place\u2014being desolate (lifeless), separated (without a redeemer), and damned (dead).<\/p>\n

In the opening chapter of Howsha\u2019 we learned that the sin of infidelity\u2014associating with false gods or religions\u2014condemned parent and child. So it is with rebellion, provocation, and contentiousness. Whether it is because our children become confused by our religious schemes and thus become a casualty of them, or because the products of a Spiritless union are Spiritless, and thus unknown to God, the result is the same\u2014death. According to God, our choices have consequence. They redeem or condemn our children.<\/p>\n

Choose wisely: \u201cReturn <\/strong>(suwb<\/em> \u2013 turn back, become restored, refreshed, and repaired; answer the call and be changed) O Yisra\u2019el <\/strong>(Yisra\u2019el<\/em> \u2013 those who engage and endure with God), to Yahowah <\/strong>(hwhy), your God. You have stumbled <\/strong>(kashal<\/em> \u2013 been cast down, fallen, become feeble and decayed, weak and bereaved) because of your iniquity <\/strong>(\u2018awon<\/em>). Take <\/strong>(laqach<\/em>) words <\/strong>(dabar<\/em>) with <\/strong>(\u2018im<\/em>) you and return <\/strong>(suwb<\/em>) to Yahowah <\/strong>(hwhy). Say <\/strong>(\u2018amar<\/em>) to Him, \u2018Take away <\/strong>(nasa\u2019<\/em>) all <\/strong>(kol<\/em>) sin <\/strong>(\u2018aown<\/em>) and receive <\/strong>(laqach<\/em>) us mercifully<\/strong> (towb<\/em> \u2013 happily, lovingly, and favorably, as if we were good and acceptable, thereby beneficially). This is our reward and restoration <\/strong>(shalam<\/em>), the fruit <\/strong>(para\u2019<\/em>) of our lips <\/strong>(saphah<\/em>).\u2019\u201d <\/strong>(Howsha\u2019 \/ He Saves \/ Hosea 14:1-2)<\/p>\n

This is a presentation of the good news upon which the Covenant is based. It is the means to attain salvation. \u201cStumbling and sinful\u201d people are \u201cchanged, repaired, and restored,\u201d making them appear as if they were \u201cacceptable so that they might endure.\u201d And the path to redemption is a \u201creturn to Yahowah our God by way of His Word.\u201d These are the ground rules of salvation.<\/p>\n

While finding this merciful treasure in Howsha\u2019 is rewarding and reassuring, there is much more to it than meets the eye at first glance. This path to paradise follows a pair of prophecies pertaining to the Ma\u2019aseyah: \u201cThe Spirit of Yahowah will ascend out of the wilderness.\u201d<\/strong> And: \u201cHis source of life and basis for purification will confound, be disapproved and treated shamefully. His cistern of mercy and fountain of life,<\/strong> He<\/strong> will dry up and make desolate.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It explains that Yahowah is \u201cthe source of purification and life.\u201d It tells us that Yahowsha\u2019 is Yahowah because it was Yahowsha\u2019 who \u201cascended out of the wilderness,\u201d \u201cconfounded\u201d the Jews, \u201cwas disapproved and treated shamefully\u201d as was foretold and later confirmed, causing the nation to dry up and the people to die. Moreover, these verses suggest that the \u201cSpirit of Yahowah\u201d is synonymous with the Ma\u2019aseyah title Yahowsha\u2019 bore. And we have a connection between Yahowah\u2019s Spirit and purification. This is suggestive of the Garment of Light that made Ya\u2019aqob appear perfect, leading to his salvation.<\/p>\n

But while these things are reassuring, connecting Yahowah to Yahowsha\u2019, they are not the reasons I find this passage so exciting. I see it as a treasure\u2014a missing link of sorts. To help you see it as I do, I\u2019d like to review the most essential words under a microscope.<\/p>\n

The first is suwb,<\/em> meaning: \u201cturn back, become restored, refreshed, and repaired; answer the call and be changed.\u201d It is a \u201crelationship word with strong spiritual connotations.\u201d Suwb<\/em> confirms that Yahowah is calling us to Him, knocking at the door to our heart, and asking us to let Him in. And suwb<\/em> conveys the result: we will be \u201crestored, refreshed, and repaired\u201d\u2014made to appear new, even perfect in God\u2019s eyes so that we can live forever. Finally, suwb<\/em> tells us that Yahowah\u2019s Spirit will \u201cchange us, enhancing the quality of our lives and improving our behavior.\u201d Suwb<\/em> defines what Yahowsha\u2019 meant when He told Nicodemus that he needed to be \u201cborn anew from above\u201d\u2014a passage we will review in a moment.<\/p>\n

The second important word is the subject of the sentence, \u201cYisra\u2019el<\/em>,\u201d meaning: \u201cto stand upright, straight and be righteous, to be correct and pleasing, to be agreeable, right, justified, and straightforward with God.\u201d This defines the audience to whom Yahowah is speaking, the means to redemption, and the consequence of it. If you are like me, a Goy\/Gentile, fret not; this message is for you. Yahowsha\u2019 stood upright on Golgotha\u2019s pole so that we all might be \u201cjustified, correct and pleasing\u201d to Yahowah. When we accept His mercy, we become Yisra\u2019el<\/em>\u2014\u201cone who stands upright with God.\u201d<\/p>\n

By this time you know \u201cYahowah is God\u201d so we\u2019ll move on to the verb of the second sentence, the word that describes man\u2019s fallen state: kashal<\/em> \u2013 \u201cto be cast down, to fall, to become feeble and decayed, weak and bereaved.\u201d The opposite of eternal life is death. The opposite of being caught up is being cast down. The opposite of purity and health is decay and corruption. The opposite of enjoying a relationship is to be bereaved of it.<\/p>\n

The less desirable option is the result of \u2018awon<\/em> \u2013 \u201ciniquity, perversity, and depravity,\u201d a.k.a. \u201csin.\u201d Specifically, \u2018awon<\/em> means: \u201cguilt, the consequence of iniquity, the legal state of being liable for wrongs done.\u201d All who don\u2019t yada<\/em> Yahowah are held accountable for their sin. Iniquity makes us \u201csick, feeble and decayed\u201d so that we \u201cstumble out of control,\u201d casting ourselves into She\u2019owl<\/em>. Without a cure, without a savior, without a means of purification, sin is deadly. So from the first two sentences we have learned that we must be born anew from above by way of Yahowah\u2019s Spirit because we have all sinned and will otherwise be held accountable.<\/p>\n

In the third sentence, Yahowah explains how we are to go about receiving His remedy. To appreciate the process, we have a dozen more words to unwrap: \u201cTake <\/strong>(laqach<\/em>) words <\/strong>(dabar<\/em>) with <\/strong>(\u2018im<\/em>) you and return <\/strong>(sub<\/em>) to Yahowah <\/strong>(hwhy). Say <\/strong>(\u2018amar<\/em>) to Him, \u2018Take away <\/strong>(nasa\u2019<\/em>) all <\/strong>(kol<\/em>) sin <\/strong>(\u2018aown<\/em>) and receive <\/strong>(laqach<\/em>) us favorably<\/strong> (towb<\/em>). This is our reward and restoration <\/strong>(shalam<\/em>), the fruit <\/strong>(para\u2019<\/em>) of our lips <\/strong>(saphah<\/em>).\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTake\u201d is laqach, <\/em>meaning: \u201cto take hold of, to take in the hand and carry along, to fetch and take with you, to receive and marry, to accept and possess, to select and seize.\u201d \u201cWords\u201d is dabar,<\/em> meaning: \u201cwords and statements, communication and chronicles, sayings and instructions, events to which one might refer, speech and message, account, treatise, and record, formal rendering in a systematic manner.\u201d Therefore, we find dabar<\/em> translated as: \u201caccount, acts, advice, annals, answers, conclusions, consultation, conversation, counsel, desires, fulfillments, instructions, message, oath, promises, plot, proposal, purpose, rationale, record, reply, report, request, sayings, speech, thoughts, verdict, ways, word and words.\u201d So in a word, dabar<\/em> is Scripture. That means we need to receive, accept and take hold of God\u2019s Word if we are going to live. We need to possess it to the point of being married to it. There is nothing subtle or passive about this process. If we want Yahowah\u2019s redemption we must take hold of His Word and carry it with us.<\/p>\n

This is why Yahowchanan began his presentation of the good news by confirming what we have just read in Howsha\u2019: \u201cIn the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God\u2026. In Him was life, and His life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness but the darkness has not understood it\u2026. He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him. Yet to all who received him, to those who rely on His name, He gave the right to become children of God\u2014children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision, or a husband\u2019s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and tabernacled with us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of mercy and truth\u2026. For the Towrah was given through Moseh; mercy and truth came through the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019.\u201d<\/strong> (Yahowchanan \/ Yah is Merciful \/ John 1:1-17) This is the prose and poetry of salvation\u2014a summation of Yahowah\u2019s message to man in eloquent terms.<\/p>\n

To learn how we can be \u201cborn of God,\u201d let\u2019s return to Yahowah\u2019s most vivid explanation. \u201cWith,\u201d in Howsha\u2019s salvation passage, is \u2018im,<\/em> meaning: \u201cwith, indicating something that is done together.\u201d \u2018Im<\/em> refers to \u201csomething that parties share in common\u201d\u2014which is probably His Spirit. \u2018Im <\/em>is used to convey: \u201cto walk with, to converse with, and to enjoy companionship with\u201d Yahowah, as He is the object of this sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cReturn\u201d is suwb,<\/em> meaning: \u201cto turn away from [Satan] and to turn to [God].\u201d To suwb<\/em> is \u201cto answer and be restored.\u201d Suwb<\/em> means: \u201cturn away from evil, come back home, and return from the dead.\u201d To suwb<\/em> is to \u201cengage in spiritual relations.\u201d It conveys \u201crepentance and rebirth.\u201d Therefore, this first sentence reveals: \u201cReceive, accept and possess Yahowah\u2019s Words, His Scripture, making it the thing you share in common so that you can return to Him and be restored, turning away from evil and coming back home\u2014literally returning from the dead by being born anew.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based upon that foundation, the middle sentence clarifies the process. \u201cSay\u201d is \u2018amar,<\/em> meaning: \u201csay, speak and answer.\u201d To \u2018amar<\/em> is to \u201cmake a promise or a vow. It is a vouch\u2014a spoken affirmation or assurance.\u201d \u2018Amar<\/em> means \u201cto give your word or pledge, to claim and tell, to declare your response and intentions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake away\u201d is nasa\u2019,<\/em> meaning: \u201clift up, bear continuously, carry away, accept and forgive.\u201d \u201cAll\u201d is kol,<\/em> that\u2019s all kol<\/em> means. \u201cSin\u201d is \u2018avon,<\/em> meaning: \u201ciniquity, wickedness, perversity, unfaithfulness, and guilt.\u201d \u2018Avon <\/em>reflects \u201cthe consequence of iniquity and the legal state of being liable for wrongs done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cReceive\u201d is also laqach,<\/em> meaning: \u201ctake hold of, receive and marry, accept and possess, select and seize.\u201d The last word is \u201cfavorably,\u201d from towb,<\/em> meaning: \u201cto be considered good, and thus to be acceptable.\u201d It is something that is offered and should be received \u201chappily and lovingly\u201d Towb<\/em> is to be \u201cagreeable, good, and acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Therefore the middle sentence reads: \u201cAnswer Yahowah and say to Him, \u2018Forgive all my sins. Accept my iniquity. Bear my guilt. Carry my liability away, receiving, marrying, and possessing me by way of your mercy\u2014an unearned favor conceived in love that makes me acceptable.\u201d It is the sinner\u2019s prayer of salvation.<\/p>\n

The third sentence gloriously confirms the previous two. \u201cThis is our reward and restoration <\/strong>(shalam<\/em>), the fruit <\/strong>(para\u2019<\/em>) of our lips <\/strong>(saphah<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>\u201cReward and restoration\u201d is shalam,<\/em> meaning: \u201crendered in full.\u201d It is \u201cperfect deliverance, complete and finished.\u201d It is why Yahowsha\u2019 said \u201cIt is finished\u201d as He hung on Moriah\u2019s pole. Shalam<\/em> signifies the \u201cpeace\u201d that is made between a perfect God and sinful man by way of God \u201cpaying our penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shalam<\/em> is a \u201crecompense rendering restoration, a requital.\u201d Since these are not words we use everyday, let\u2019s examine them. \u201cRecompense\u201d is a \u201creward which compensates. It means to \u201coffer a payment that makes up for another\u2019s debt.\u201d \u201cRender\u201d is \u201cto extract in a crucible, to approve by way of offering compensation, to deliver and to restore.\u201d To render is to \u201chand down a legal judgment or verdict. It is to \u201cacknowledge the dependence of a person on the service provided by another.\u201d \u201cRestoration\u201d is \u201crenewal, the bringing back to a former condition.\u201d In this case, it would be back to Adam\u2019s perfect sinless nature and ideal relationship with Yahowah prior to the fall. \u201cRequite\u201d is \u201can act of giving compensation to render someone suitable, returning an injured person to a beneficial status.\u201d Collectively, shalam<\/em> defines Yahowah\u2019s\/Yahowsha\u2019s atoning sacrifice on Mount Moriah\u2019s pole. It explains the how and why of salvation.<\/p>\n

But there is more. Every definition of shalam <\/em>describes the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s merciful gift: \u201cto perform something that is good, to make restitution, amending the record.\u201d Prophetically, shalam<\/em> is often translated \u201cto fulfill\u201d or \u201cto finish.\u201d It is the \u201cfinal fulfillment of an obligation,\u201d in this case Yahowah\u2019s prophetic promises to save mankind by sacrificing Himself for us. By shalam <\/em>we \u201creceive compensation\u201d so that God can \u201cmete out a just verdict\u201d that enables us \u201cto remain healthy, be unscathed and unharmed,\u201d taking us to \u201ca preferable state\u201d\u2014eternal life in paradise.<\/p>\n

The same three Hebrew letters vocalized differently form shelem<\/em>, a \u201cfellowship offering that comes by way of fulfilling a promise or vow.\u201d Shelem<\/em> is \u201ca voluntary sacrifice which perfects, reestablishing the covenant relationship.\u201d Another variation of the three letters rendered in the text is shalem<\/em>, telling us that the recompense was \u201ccomplete and fully accomplished\u201d keeping us \u201csafe from danger\u201d and enabling us to enjoy a \u201cclose personal association\u201d\u2014that standard being the torah<\/em>, or prescriptions. Shalem <\/em>makes us \u201cwhole, in complete accordance with the acceptable standard.\u201d Shalem<\/em> suggests that the person offering the gift \u201cwas fully devoted, having great love and passion,\u201d and that He was \u201cobedient\u201d\u2014concepts which permeate the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s last day as a mortal man.<\/p>\n

In this passage, shalem<\/em> is often translated \u201cpresent,\u201d a word which means \u201cto become manifest\u201d and \u201cto formally bestow a gift\u201d which \u201cintroduces a person into the presence of someone with a superior rank\u201d\u2014in this case of God, by God, to God. It is a perfect and complete summary of the Covenant. It is beryth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cFruit\u201d is para\u2019,<\/em> meaning: \u201cto bear fruit, to be fruitful, to thrive in fruitfulness, and to flourish.\u201d In this context it means to be restored so as to live and be productive. Our lips provide the means to this rehabilitated state because saphah,<\/em> means: \u201clips, speech, language, and to communicate a message.\u201d Our contribution to the salvation process is limited to answering Yahowah and accepting His gift in accordance with His Word.<\/p>\n

Howsha\u2019 just completed one of the most important three-part declarations in human history. It begins ominously, telling the Jews that they will reject their Savior, but ends majestically, telling us how to accept His gift of eternal life. Notice it is all predicated on: \u201cThe Spirit of Yahowah will ascend out the wilderness. His source of life and basis for purification will confound, be disapproved and treated shamefully, and His cistern of mercy, source of blessings, well of sustenance, and fountain of life<\/strong> He<\/strong> will dry up and make desolate.\u201d <\/strong>As a consequence: \u201cSamaria will be held guilty, becoming separated, forsaken, lifeless, and damned, for she has rebelled against, provoked and been contentious with God. They will fall by the sword. Their little ones will be dashed in pieces.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But there was a better choice\u2014the ultimate choice\u2014the choice for which man was created and the Scriptures revealed: \u201cReceive, accept and possess Yahowah\u2019s Words, His Scripture, making it the thing you share in common so that you can return to Him and be restored, turning away from evil and coming back home\u2014literally returning from the dead by being born anew. Answer Yahowah and say to Him, \u2018Forgive all my sins, accept my iniquity, bear my guilt, and carry my liability away, receiving, marrying, and possessing me by way of mercy\u2014an unearned favor conceived in love that makes me acceptable. The restoration of our relationship is the result of this communication with You.\u201d <\/strong>(Howsha\u2019 \/ He Saves \/ Hosea 13:15, 14:1-2)<\/p>\n

This solemn dialogue with Yahowah includes an acknowledgement that Yahowah loves us, because we are answering His call. It acknowledges that He revealed Himself to us by way of His Scripture and that we must study His Word to know, understand, and trust Him. This communication is an acknowledgement of our sinful and thus condemned condition. It includes an acknowledgement of our need for a redeemer. The prayer signifies an acceptance of who the Savior is and how He saved us. It recognizes that we have chosen to receive His merciful gift. It confirms an understanding of how that choice liberates us from the penalty of death. And it is an acknowledgement of our willingness to be anointed by Yahowah\u2019s Spirit, being born anew from above and eternally married to Him. If you have not had this conversation with Yahowah, please do it now.<\/p>\n
