The Yahuwdym were given the best job in the world. They were offered the inheritance of Yahowah, eternal life in the family of God. And yet they chose to rely upon the lifeless, arrogant, errant, and rebellious notions of men. Two thousand seven hundred years of suffering on earth has been their reward. But even that would be unsatisfactory for those who did the misleading. For corrupting Yahowah\u2019s chosen people rabbis like Maimonides the Rambam will endure the greater and perpetual condemnation. Had he not been so arrogant, obstinate and stubborn, had he paused to humbly consider what Ezekiel had seen, had he listened to what Ezekiel reported, it wouldn\u2019t have turned out that way.<\/p>\n

Six centuries later, the apostle Yahowchanan would affirm Ezekiel\u2019s testimony, witnessing to a similar experience. He would say of heaven: \u201cAt once I was in the Spirit and behold, a throne was there in heaven, with the One sitting on the throne. He who was sitting resembled a bluish-green translucent stone and one reddish in appearance. There was a rainbow round about and circling the throne, like an emerald to the eye\u2026 Twenty-four elders sat around the throne clothed in garments of dazzling light with golden crowns on their heads. From the throne proceeded flashes of lightning and sounds of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven Spirits of God. Before the throne there was as it were, a sea of glass like crystal and in the midst, surrounding the throne, living beings<\/strong> (zoon zoon<\/em> \u2013 from zao<\/em>, to live and be among the living, to be worthy of life, enduring with God).\u201d <\/strong>(Revelation 4:2-6)<\/p>\n

Yahowchanan continued to describe what he experienced using the same word pictures Ezekiel had painted. The attendants had four faces, that of a lion, calf, man and eagle. Each possessed multiple wings and eyes. The Apostle went on to say: \u201cPraise Yahowah! Salvation, glory, and power belong to our God.\u201d <\/strong>(Revelation 19:1) \u201cI saw the heavens opened, and behold, brilliant light <\/strong>(luke<\/em> \u2013 dazzling white light and shining white garments of light)\u2026. His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many crowns\u2026. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood and His name is \u2018The Word of God.\u2019\u201d <\/strong>(Revelation 19:11-13)<\/p>\n

Yahowchanan would later add: \u201cI heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, \u2018Behold, the Tabernacle of Yahowah is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people.\u2019\u201d <\/strong>(Revelation 21:3)<\/p>\n

Speaking of the New Jerusalem, Yahowchanan reported: \u201cI saw no temple in it, for Yahowah Almighty and the Lamb are its Temple. And the city has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine upon it, for the radiant glory of God has illuminated it, and its Lamp is the Lamb. The nations shall walk by its light.\u201d <\/strong>(Revelation 21:22-24) \u201cAnd there shall no longer be any night. They shall not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun because Yahowah shall illuminate them. And they shall live forever, and ever.\u201d <\/strong>(Revelation 22:5) Times and men changed; Heaven and God did not.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite affirmations of Yahowsha\u2019s brilliant nature is presented in Matthew and Mark. \u201cYahowsha\u2019 took Shim\u2019own, Ya\u2019aqob, and Yahowchanan, and brought them up to a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured <\/strong>(metamorphoo<\/em> \u2013 changed into another from, transformed, altering one\u2019s essence and appearance) in their presence. His face shined <\/strong>(lampo<\/em> \u2013 produced and emitted light) like the sun. His garments became <\/strong>(ginomai<\/em> \u2013 existed as) dazzling and brilliant, radiant and gleaming, white <\/strong>(luekos<\/em>) light <\/strong>(phos<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>(Mattanyah \/ Yah\u2019s Gift \/ Matthew 17:1-2) The portrait is eternally consistent. God is light. Yahowsha\u2019 is God.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd behold, Moseh<\/strong> and \u2018El\u2019yah <\/strong>(commonly transliterated Elijah, but meaning Yah is God) appeared <\/strong>(horao<\/em> \u2013 and could be seen with our eyes, experienced and known), talking <\/strong>(sullaleo <\/em>\u2013 communing) with Him\u2026. While He was still speaking, a cloud composed of light and full of brilliant illumination <\/strong>(nephele photeinos<\/em>) threw a shadow upon <\/strong>(episkiazo <\/em>\u2013 overshadowed) Him, and lo, a voice from the cloud said <\/strong>(lego<\/em> \u2013 affirmed, maintained, advised, and taught) on behalf of Him <\/strong>(eis<\/em> \u2013 in reference to Him and within Him), \u2018He is My dearly loved, esteemed, and worthy <\/strong>(agapetos<\/em>) Son, with whom I Am pleased. Listen to<\/strong> (akouo <\/em>\u2013 hear and understand, comprehend, teach and announce the news regarding) Him.\u2019\u201d<\/strong> (Mattanyah \/ Yah\u2019s Gift \/ Matthew 17:3-5)<\/p>\n

The reason the \u201ccloud of light\u201d \u201covershadowed\u201d the One whose \u201cface shone like the sun,\u201d and whose \u201cgarments were dazzling, brilliant, radiant and gleaming light,\u201d is because even transfigured, the more energized Yahowsha\u2019 was still only a pale shadow of His natural and whole self\u2014Yahowah. Yes, light is light, and Yahowsha\u2019 is Yahowah, but without the full intensity. If Yahowah didn\u2019t ratchet His energy level down when communing with us, we mortals would be incinerated in His presence.<\/p>\n

Yahowsha\u2019 said, \u201cI Am the Light of the cosmos. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.\u201d<\/strong> (Yahowchanan \/ Yah is Merciful \/ John 8:12)<\/p>\n

efei<\/p>\n

Yasha\u2019yahuw 42 tells us a great deal about the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s nature as well as His purpose. It is one the few places in Scripture where a nepesh<\/em>-soul is attributed to Yahowah, as God is a ruwach<\/em>-Spirit. Another is Psalm 22, a painful experience we\u2019ll save for the next chapter.<\/p>\n

As we shall soon discover, even Yahowah needs a soul if He is to live among men and reach out to them as a man. So let\u2019s jump into the first of these prophecies which ascribe a nepesh<\/em>-soul to the Creator of souls and see what we learn.<\/p>\n

In context, Yasha\u2019yah 42 is predictive of the Ma\u2019aseyah. In fact, Yahowsha\u2019 is quoted in Mattanyah \/ Matthew 12 reciting the first four verses, confirming that they were written of Him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBehold, here is<\/strong> (hen<\/em> \u2013 look now at this present time and see, for surely this is) My servant<\/strong> (\u2018ebed<\/em> \u2013 My associate and coworker).<\/strong> My support is continuously with Him<\/strong> (tamak ba<\/em> \u2013 My hand is consistently upon Him, I genuinely uphold Him, and accept Him (qal imperfect)) \u2013 My Chosen One<\/strong> (bachyr<\/em> \u2013 My Elect, the instrument of My desire, the extension of My preferred relationship). <\/strong><\/p>\n

My soul<\/strong> (nepesh<\/em> \u2013 speaking of the unique consciousness of a living being) is pleased to make amends and provide restitution, facilitating fortuitous acceptance by having satisfied the punishment<\/strong> (ratsah<\/em> \u2013 to provide favor and enable reconciliation by paying and satisfying the debt, thereby removing the penalty). <\/strong><\/p>\n

I have bestowed<\/strong> (natan<\/em> \u2013 I have placed) My Spirit<\/strong> (ruwach<\/em>) upon Him<\/strong> (\u2018al<\/em>) so that <\/strong>(ken<\/em> \u2013 forasmuch then reliably and justly) (from 1QIsa)) He will bring forth<\/strong> (yatsa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 He will extend, spread, and disseminate) His<\/strong> means used to achieve justice and resolve disputes<\/strong> (mishpat<\/em> \u2013 the basis upon which His judgment will be exercised and His sound decisions will be made (in 1QIsa suffixed in the third person masculine singular)) to<\/strong> (la<\/em>) the people from different races and places<\/strong> (ha gowym<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yah \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 42:1)<\/p>\n

This declaration is very similar to Yahowah\u2019s statement during Yahowsha\u2019s transfiguration. And that is because even God quotes Scripture.<\/p>\n

In this passage, we learn that the Savior is Yahowah\u2019s servant, His implement, the one who does His work. It is not unlike our hands and feet working for us. They are part of us, and designed by our Maker to serve us. So in a way we\u2019ve returned to the \u201cOne Doing the Work of Yah\u201d connotation resident in Ma\u2019aseyah.<\/p>\n

Hen<\/em> tells us that there is a time certain when Yahowah will make Himself known, even visible. And \u201c\u2018ebed<\/em> \u2013 servant\u201d serves as another affirmation that Yahowsha\u2019s title is actually Ma\u2019aseyah, meaning \u201cthe work of Yah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tamak<\/em>, meaning \u201cto grasp hold of, making a physical attachment, and uphold,\u201d validates the vocalization of \u2018dn<\/em> as \u2018edon <\/em>rather than \u2018adon<\/em> when applied to Yahowah\u2019s relationship with the Ma\u2019aseyah. Yahowah is the foundation which holds the upright pillar of the Tabernacle; He is the mechanism of attachment, or grasping hold, and the upright pole itself.<\/p>\n

Here, tamak ba<\/em>, were scribed in the qal imperfect, revealing the source of the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2019s success. He is \u201ccontinuously upheld\u201d and \u201cactually supported\u201d by Yahowah, who is speaking in first person throughout this passage. Yah is the source of His acceptance and ours. He is the reason Yahowsha\u2019 stood up for us so that we could stand, upheld, by Him.<\/p>\n

This means to resolve the issues which separate us from God was Yah\u2019s choice\u2014His preference. He decided that He would personally pay the price to redeem us, which is what we learn from \u201cbachyr \u2013<\/em> the extension of My desire.\u201d Further, bachyr,<\/em> reveals that He was \u201cselected based upon a special relationship and affection,\u201d and thus is far more insightful than \u201cchosen,\u201d especially when applied to a people or a person. It conveys Yahowah\u2019s mindset<\/a>, purpose, and character.<\/p>\n

The next phrase is essential to our understanding of how Yahowsha\u2019: \u201cratsah<\/em> \u2013 made us acceptable to Yahowah, pardoned our sins, restoring us to perfection so that we could be reconciled with God.\u201d To accomplish this miracle, Yahowah who is Ruwach <\/em>\/ Spirit, needed a nepesh <\/em>\/ soul. Without a soul, Yahowah could not have manifest Himself in the form of a man because all animals, and that would include humans, have souls.<\/p>\n

Also, without a physical body, Yahowah\u2019s Servant Yahowsha\u2019 could not have fulfilled Passover. On Pesach His body died, fulfilling the role of the Lamb. And without a soul, Yahowsha\u2019 could not have been separated from Yahowah, enduring our penalty on Unleavened Bread. Similarly, without a Spirit, there would have been no celebration of FirstFruits when soul and Spirit were reunited.<\/p>\n

Yahowah\u2019s very name, I Am, I Was, and I Will Be, tells us that He is immortal. By definition, an immortal Spirit cannot die. But bodies can die and souls can be separated. Without one of these, Yahowah would not have been able to separate Himself from Yahowsha\u2019 and thus pay the price required to redeem our sins. Our ransom required Yahowsha\u2019s soul descending into She\u2019owl<\/em>, the place of separation, while His Spirit returned to Yahowah and His body lay in the tomb until it was destroyed that night.<\/p>\n

Once again, by definition, Yahowah can\u2019t go to the place of separation from God, but Yahowsha\u2019s soul could and did. It is the price He paid to redeem us and pardon us, vindicating, restoring, and saving us.<\/p>\n

There is a reason that Yahowah has a \u201cnepesh<\/em> \u2013 soul,\u201d which is the Hebrew term for \u201canimal consciousness.\u201d For God to accept human form, for Him to set-apart and diminish some of His spiritual energy, and manifest Himself as a man, He has to have a soul.<\/p>\n

But since Yahowah is \u201cruwach<\/em> \u2013 spirit,\u201d for His Chosen One to represent Him, His ruwach<\/em> must \u201cnatan<\/em> \u2013 be bestowed\u201d upon His soul. This then tells us that the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019 had a physical body in addition to God\u2019s soul and spirit. While there is no Trinity, Yahowsha\u2019, Himself, was triune.<\/p>\n

The reason for this threefold nature is then explained using ratsah<\/em> and mishpat<\/em>. The \u201cmishpat<\/em> \u2013 means used to achieve justice and resolve disputes\u201d requires Yahowah\u2019s soul to \u201cratsah<\/em> \u2013 provide restitution by personally satisfying the penalty, thereby facilitating our acceptance.\u201d This occurred on the Mow\u2019ed Miqra\u2019<\/em> of Matsah<\/em> when His soul went to the place of separation to accept the punishment we deserved. And since She\u2019owl, the place of separation, is by definition the one place Yahowah\u2019s Spirit cannot go, His \u201cnepesh<\/em> \u2013 soul\u201d was sent there to \u201cratsah<\/em> \u2013 make amends, and to satisfy the debt\u201d otherwise required of our souls.<\/p>\n

And in this way, the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019, as Yahowah\u2019s Servant, \u201cyatsa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 extended\u201d the \u201cmishpat<\/em> \u2013 means used to achieve justice and resolve disputes\u201d to the \u201cgowym<\/em> \u2013 people from every race and place.\u201d<\/p>\n

So it is fair to say, this was an especially revealing prophetic promise. The information required to explain Yahowsha\u2019s nature, and to understand what He accomplished during the three most important days in human history, has been laid before our eyes.<\/p>\n

As I have mentioned, a nepesh<\/em>\/soul alone was insufficient for Yahowsha\u2019 to represent Yahowah. So for Yahowsha\u2019 to be set-apart from Yahowah, for Yahowsha\u2019 to be a diminished material manifestation of Yahowah, Yahowsha\u2019 required Yahowah\u2019s Ruwach <\/em>\/ Spirit as well. That is why we read: \u201cI have given and applied, bestowed and placed, set-apart and distributed, My Ruwach <\/em>\/ Spirit<\/strong> upon Him.\u201d <\/strong>The Spirit made Yahowsha\u2019 Almighty God, ultimately making it possible for the Son to represent the Father.<\/p>\n

As part of Yahowah, Yahowsha\u2019 could be \u201cyatsa\u2019 <\/em>\u2013 sent out\u201d to us to \u201cyatsa\u2019 <\/em>\u2013 bring forth\u201d justice. He accomplished this by serving our sentence for us, His body dying in our stead, His soul being separated instead of us, all so that we wouldn\u2019t have to be declared guilty, pay for our sins, and be separated from God. That is the very definition of \u201credeem.\u201d It is what a Redeemer does. It is what Yahowsha\u2019 did. It was His \u201cplan,\u201d and our \u201cprivilege,\u201d the \u201cprescription\u201d for what ails us.<\/p>\n

Restoration and renewal was for everyone. Yasha\u2019yah wrote \u201cGowy<\/em>,\u201d not \u201cYahuwdah, Yahuwdym, or even Yisra\u2019el.\u201d Seven centuries before the deed was done, the proclamation had gone out. Yahowah\u2019s Tabernacle was being enlarged; His family was being expanded. The door was wide open; the welcome mat was placed before it, and a huge sign was hung above. God\u2019s family would include all people. Gentiles would be adopted with open arms.<\/p>\n

The following verses predict how Yahowsha\u2019 would act during his stay with us. It further affirms, that rather than being received as the human manifestation of God, He would not be respected by men. In fact, those He created wouldn\u2019t even listen to Him. Therefore, Yasha\u2019yahuw wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will not speak loudly or cry out for help<\/strong> (lo\u2019 tsa\u2019aq<\/em> \u2013 He will not summon assistance), and He will not be lifted up nor desired<\/strong> (lo\u2019 nasa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 He will not be respected or honored). And<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) the sound of His voice<\/strong> (qowl<\/em>) will not be heard<\/strong> (lo\u2019 shama\u2019<\/em> \u2013 will not be listened to) in the public places<\/strong> (ba ha chuwts<\/em> \u2013 outside in the streets).\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yah \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 42:2)<\/p>\n

What I find particularly ironic in this regard is that Christians, who errantly boast that their religion was based upon the testimony of their \u201cLord Jesus Christ,\u201d don\u2019t actually listen to Him. They either ignore or reject most everything He had to say\u2014especially regarding the enduring and saving nature of the Torah.<\/p>\n

That said, this amplified rendering is considerably different than most English translations, none of which make much sense. Yahowsha\u2019 did cry out during His crucifixion, but He never summoned people to assist Him. In fact, at every turn He overtly refused human help, fulfilling the prophecy.<\/p>\n

Rather than say that He \u201cwill not raise His voice\u201d a second and third time, as English translations are wont to communicate, we find three distinctly different meanings in the words themselves. As evidence of diverse concepts, the Hebrew word for negation, not, or nor, halo\u2019<\/em>, appears before tsa\u2019aq<\/em>\/cry out, nasa\u2019<\/em>\/exalt, and shama\u2019<\/em>\/listen. If they represented similar thoughts one \u201cnot\u201d would have been sufficient. Therefore nasa\u2019<\/em>, rather than indicating that He won\u2019t raise His voice or listen, both of which Yahowsha\u2019 actually did on many occasions, must mean that the Ma\u2019aseyah won\u2019t forgive Himself and thereby escape punishment. He will accept our transgressions and pay the price for them. Rather than honor Himself, He will honor us. Rather than desiring His life, He will aspire to save ours.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Yahowsha\u2019 routinely made His voice heard outside and in the streets. Communicating with us was half of His mission. But what He didn\u2019t do was \u201clisten to or regard\u201d the political and religious leaders of the day.<\/p>\n

The next verse is equally nonsensical in most English translations, as they have the Ma\u2019aseyah \u201cnot breaking bruised reeds.\u201d Since Scripture tells us that qaneh<\/em> is \u201ca standard of measure,\u201d and that the Towrah is the standard upon which our responses are measured, I see the prophecy as being profound, rather than obtuse. So as we endeavor to translate this next prophetic revelation, we are required to examine every potential vocalization of each word, and then contemplate their symbolism in context with the work of the Ma\u2019aseyah.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe opposition to and the harassment associated with trying to break <\/strong>(ratsats \u2013 <\/em>thestruggle crush (qal passive)) the branch, the standard, and the means to acquire and redeem<\/strong> (qaneh<\/em> \/ qanah<\/em> \u2013 that which is an extension from the foundation, the standard and the measure, and means to ransom someone; serving as metaphors for the Ma\u2019aseyah<\/em>, the Towrah<\/em>, and the Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>) will not<\/strong> destroy Him<\/strong> (lo\u2019 shabar<\/em> \u2013 will not cripple Him or break Him, nor will they cause Him to cease). <\/strong><\/p>\n

And<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) the healing and restoring<\/strong> (kehah<\/em> \u2013 alleviating) flax<\/strong> (pishtah<\/em> \u2013 the plant whose blue blossoms in the early spring signal the season to observe Pesach<\/em>, Matsah<\/em>, and Bikuwrym,<\/em> while the fibers of the plant were used to make white linen garments and wicks for oil lamps; symbolic of the Spirit\u2019s Garment of Light) He shall not quench or extinguish<\/strong> (lo\u2019 kabah<\/em> \u2013 He shall not snuff out or cease to be effective). <\/strong><\/p>\n

To and for those who trust and rely<\/strong> (la \u2018emeth<\/em> \u2013 on behalf of the trusting and reliant) He will bring forth<\/strong> (yasa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 He will descend and serve by producing and extending) the<\/strong> means used to achieve justice and resolve disputes<\/strong> (mishpat<\/em> \u2013 the basis upon which judgment will be exercised and sound decisions will be made).\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yah \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 42:3)<\/p>\n

God is not saying that the Towrah \u201cdiminishes,\u201d but instead, that Yahowsha\u2019 would be crushed for accepting our rejection of it. In that way, Yahowah could be faithful to His Word and be just, and yet still save us.<\/p>\n

Again, the standard of measure throughout Scripture is the Towrah. But sadly Yah\u2019s Teaching was repressed, relegated to a subservient role by rabbis because they preferred their Oral Law. And later the Torah was dismissed, replaced by Church doctrine. Therefore, without redemption, without the prescriptions in Yah\u2019s Towrah, souls are ultimately \u201ccrushed and diminished to nothingness.\u201d So we are being told that Yahowsha\u2019 wouldn\u2019t violate the Towrah, making Him perfect, and thus able to redeem us rather than Himself by His sacrifice.<\/p>\n

Qaneh<\/em>, or qanah<\/em>, depending upon the application of diacritical markings, is translated \u201creed\u201d in most all Christian bibles, even though that represents its tertiary definition. And yet its primary characterization as \u201cbranch,\u201d represents Scripture\u2019s most prevalent metaphor for the Ma\u2019aseyah. This is because His genealogy followed the Dowd\/David branch of the family tree which, once rooted in the Land, was initiated by Abraham, Sarah, and Yitschaq\u2014the first family of the Covenant.<\/p>\n

That is not to say that \u201creed\u201d is irrelevant, however, only that \u201cbranch\u201d is more telling. You see, Moseh, the implement Yahowah used to reveal His Towrah, was \u201cmasah<\/em> \u2013 drawn out of\u201d the reeds along the banks of the Nile in Egypt.<\/p>\n

And speaking of the Towrah, qaneh<\/em> also depicts \u201cthe standard, the unit of measure, and the scales of justice.\u201d Each of these concepts serves as a symbol of the Towrah.<\/p>\n

And if that were not enough, as part of its principle definition, qaneh<\/em> is said to represent \u201can extension from the foundation or base.\u201d This is precisely what \u2018edon<\/em>, \u201cthe upright pillar and the foundation,\u201d represents.<\/p>\n

Further, qaneh<\/em> is sometimes rendered \u201cbone\u201d and \u201cshoulder joint.\u201d This too is prophetic because Yahowsha\u2019s bones were not broken as He hung on Mowryah\u2019s upright pole on Passover. And by His willingness to be punished in this way, He shouldered our burdens. Qaneh<\/em> is even the \u201cshaft of a lamp stand,\u201d which is relevant because Yahowsha\u2019 serves as a Light along the Way to God.<\/p>\n

As we have learned, the verb form of most nouns often defines them. Written identically in the text, qanah<\/em> is active. It means \u201cto purchase or to acquire something or someone in exchange for a payment so as to redeem them.\u201d This of course speaks to the means Yahowsha\u2019 used to \u201cmishpat<\/em> \u2013 achieve justice by resolving the disputes\u201d which once separated us from Yah.<\/p>\n

Regardless as to how many of these connotations apply, qaneh<\/em> is flanked by two verbs: ratsats<\/em> and lo\u2019 shabar<\/em>. And so it is that we find religious and political individuals then and now \u201cratsats<\/em> \u2013 in opposition to\u201d the Towrah and the Ma\u2019aseyah, \u201cbreaking\u201d one while \u201copposing\u201d the other. They wanted \u201cto crush\u201d Yahowsha\u2019 and they \u201ccreated all manner of hardships\u201d for those who have chosen to observe Yah\u2019s Instructions. But their animosity \u201clo\u2019 shabar<\/em> \u2013 did not destroy Him or break Him.\u201d He continued without ceasing to complete the work Yahowah had assigned to Him.<\/p>\n

As we well know, His work involved \u201ckehah<\/em> \u2013 healing and restoring\u201d humankind. That being true, why do you suppose Yahowah associated kehah<\/em> with \u201cpishtah<\/em> \u2013 flax,\u201d and not with man?<\/p>\n

I think the answer to that question lies in what flax represents. It was first used in Shemowth<\/em> \/ Exodus, where the emergence of the plant\u2019s blue flower in the early spring was used in conjunction with budding of barley to indicated when we are to observe Pesach<\/em>, Matsah<\/em>, and Bikuwrym<\/em> \u2013 the means Yahowsha\u2019 used to \u201ckehah<\/em> \u2013 heal and restore us.\u201d<\/p>\n

But more than this, the fibers of the \u201cpishtah<\/em> \u2013 flax\u201d were used in two revealing ways: to make wicks for oil lamps and to weave linen garments. The plant is therefore symbolic of the Set-Apart Spirit\u2019s Garment of Light which makes those who observe Pesach<\/em>, Matsah<\/em>, and Bikuwrym<\/em> appear perfect in Yah\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

It is this light, and the influence of these days, that the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019 \u201clo\u2019 kabah<\/em> \u2013 shall not quench or extinguish.\u201d Indeed, that is precisely how He \u201cmishpat<\/em> \u2013 achieved justice and resolved the dispute\u201d between humankind and God. Moreover, the means to benefit from this promise is \u201cla \u2018emeth<\/em> \u2013 to trust and rely\u201d upon the Ma\u2019aseyah Yahowsha\u2019s fulfillment of the Towrah\u2019s promises.<\/p>\n

So, while I cannot say for certain that Yahowah intended for us to see all of these remarkable symbols, I\u2019m fairly certain that He did not say: \u201cA bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth,\u201d as the King James Version<\/em> published. But to be fair, I know Him, and Sir Francis Bacon\u2019s associates did not.<\/p>\n

The reason we turned to this passage is found in the following statement. \u201cHe will not become incapacitated or falter <\/strong>(lo\u2019<\/em> kahah<\/em> \u2013 He will not become disheartened, be restrained, or be disabled), and<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) He will not always be oppressed or harassed <\/strong>(lo\u2019 ratsats<\/em> \u2018ad<\/em> \u2013 He will not struggle or be opposed forever).<\/strong> He will bring about<\/strong> (sym<\/em> \u2013 cause, establish, direct, appoint, place, and preserve) the means to resolve disputes and achieve justice<\/strong> (mishpat<\/em> \u2013 the basis upon which judgment will be exercised and sound decisions are made) in the land<\/strong> (ba ha \u2018erets<\/em>), and <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) from<\/strong> whence<\/strong> (\u2018ay<\/em> \u2013 from which and where) accordingly<\/strong> (la<\/em>) they<\/strong> will inherit<\/strong> (yarash<\/em> \u2013 come to receive and possess through an inheritance (1QIsa features yarash<\/em> \u2013 inherit in place of yachal<\/em> \u2013 to wait in the MT)) His Towrah<\/strong> (Towrah<\/em> \u2013 His Torah Instruction and Teaching, His Source of Guidance and Direction; derived from: tow<\/em> \u2013 His signed, written, and enduring, towrah<\/em> \u2013 way of treating people, tuwr<\/em> \u2013 giving us the means to explore, to seek, to find, and to choose, yarah<\/em> \u2013 the source of instruction, teaching, guidance, and direction that flows from Him, which tuwb<\/em> \u2013 provides answers to facilitate our restoration and return, even our response and reply to that which is towb<\/em> \u2013 good, pleasing, beneficial, favorable, healing, and right, and that which causes us to be loved, to become acceptable, and to endure, tahowr<\/em> and tohorah<\/em> \u2013 purifying and cleansing us, thereby towr<\/em> \u2013 providing us with the opportunity to change our attitude, thinking, and direction toward Him).\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yah \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 42:4)<\/p>\n

\u2018Ay<\/em> is a particularly challenging term. Written Ayin Yowd, it is rendered as a noun and translated \u201cisle, isles, or islands\u201d thirty-five times. The second most popular rendering, and occurring on sixteen occasions, is \u201cfrom whence, from which, and from where,\u201d which is how I\u2019ve translated it here. In my mind, it makes no sense whatsoever for \u201cislands\u201d to \u201cyarash<\/em> \u2013 inherit\u201d anything, much less the Towrah. However, when we inherit Yah\u2019s Towrah\u2019s Guidance we receive Yah\u2019s redemption and we are adopted into our Heavenly Father\u2019s family, thereby making us entitled to an inheritance from Him. Not only does one flow from the other, the only way to inherit the Covenant is through the Towrah.<\/p>\n

So, while there are two options regarding \u2018ay<\/em>, there is no mistaking the fact that the Great Isaiah Scroll, written in Yahuwdah\/Judah, found in the caves above Qumran, and dating to the second century BCE, features \u201cyarash<\/em> \u2013 inherit,\u201d while the Masoretic Text, authored one-thousand-three-hundred years later in Spain in the 11th<\/sup>-century CE, deploys \u201cyachal<\/em> \u2013 to wait for.\u201d Recognizing that the DSS witness is considerably older and closer to the source, and that the MT variation of \u201cislands waiting\u201d is senseless, how do you suppose the King James Version<\/em>, the New American Standard Bible<\/em>, the New International Version<\/em>, and the New Living Translation<\/em> rendered this verse? Did any of these publications refer to the Dead Sea Scrolls?<\/p>\n

KJV: \u201cHe shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.\u201d NASB: \u201cHe will not be disheartened or crushed Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law.\u201d NLT: \u201cHe will not falter or lose heart until justice prevails throughout the earth. Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.\u201d And the NIV: \u201cHe will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, you and I know that Towrah<\/em> does not mean \u201claw.\u201d But, and this is relevant, since the \u201cHis\u201d in this passage is addressing Yahowsha\u2019, if it was \u201cHis Law,\u201d this means that He did not replace His Law with Grace. And this means that Paul lied and that Christians are wrong. Recognizing this vulnerability, after what can only be called a reckless and undisciplined rendering, the NLT translated towrah<\/em>, a singular noun and title, \u201cinstructions.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in actuality, it does not matter. Yahowsha\u2019s Towrah and His Instruction are indistinguishable. And when it comes to His Directions, God will not tolerate a rival or any alterations. The one and only Towrah provides the lone means to participate in the Covenant and to be saved by God.<\/p>\n

As we contemplate the full meaning of this prophetic passage, we can celebrate the fact that Yahowsha\u2019 was, is, and forever will be the Light of the world and the Light of life. This was reinforced in Yasha\u2019yah\u2019s \/ Isaiah\u2019s 9th<\/sup> chapter, which noted that nothing will ever diminish His power, authority, or ability to restore our broken lives. When it came to accepting our blows upon His back, and our nails in His wrists and feet, He did not falter. Fulfilling the prophecy, His shin bones were not broken as He hung upon Mowryah\u2019s pole. The secondary meaning of ratsats<\/em> applies as well. Yahowsha\u2019 did not oppress; He never burdened anyone by abusing His power or authority.<\/p>\n
