Lesson learned, let\u2019s turn now to the 49th<\/sup> chapter of Yasha\u2019yahuw and consider Yahowah\u2019s ongoing prophetic testimony. God said\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cListen to Me <\/strong>(shama\u2019 \u2018el \u2013 <\/em>receive this message from Me), land surrounded by water<\/strong> (\u2018iy<\/em> \u2013 island, so by default perhaps America; but also coastlands and regions along the shore; even woe and alas be forewarned about the when, where, what, and why associated with the howling beast). Pay attention<\/strong> (qasab<\/em> \u2013 accept this information as true and respond appropriately) people<\/strong> (la\u2019om<\/em> \u2013 and nations) at a distance<\/strong> (min rachowq<\/em> \u2013 far away from the source spatially and symbolically, alienated and no longer in close association).\u201d <\/strong>(Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:1)<\/p>\n

Of the thirty uses of \u2018iy<\/em> in Scripture, all are found in end-times prophetic references and depict an important, powerful, prosperous nation with considerable coastlands surrounded by water. The nation is distant from Yisra\u2019el, and the people who live there are alienated from Yahowah, and yet vitally interested in, and indeed significantly impacted by, what occurs in Yisra\u2019el. These things known, it would be hard to make a case for other than America, Britain, or Australia.<\/p>\n

This known, the same two letters which comprise \u2018iy<\/em>, Aleph Yowd, can be vocalized to say \u201cwhat, where, when, why, and how,\u201d in addition to conveying \u201cwoe and alas,\u201d even \u201chowling beast.\u201d So whether Yahowah is addressing America (based upon His comments about this \u2018iy<\/em> in the 17th<\/sup> and 18th<\/sup> chapters of this same book), or just the \u201cwhen where, what, why, and how associated with the woes of the Beast,\u201d it\u2019s important that those who remain distanced from Him listen to Him and pay close attention, because \u201cshama\u2019<\/em> \u2013 listen\u201d was deployed in addition to \u201cqasab<\/em> \u2013 pay attention and respond appropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following can only be claimed by the Ma\u2019aseyah\u2014the One Doing Yahowah\u2019s Work:<\/p>\n

\u201cYahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy) summoned Me<\/strong> (qara\u2019<\/em> \u2013 He called and met with Me) from<\/strong> (min<\/em>) the womb<\/strong> (beten<\/em>). He called Me<\/strong> (qara\u2019<\/em> \u2013 He met with and welcomed Me) from<\/strong> (min<\/em>) inside of the body<\/strong> (me\u2019eh<\/em>) of My mother<\/strong> (\u2018em<\/em>).<\/strong> He made known and proclaimed<\/strong> (zakar \u2013 <\/em>He memorialized) My personal and proper name<\/strong> (shem<\/em> \u2013 My renown, reputation, proper designation, identity, and status).\u201d <\/strong>(Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:1)<\/p>\n

If nothing else, appreciate the fact that Yahowah has made the personal and proper name of the Ma\u2019aseyah known. You will find Yahowsha\u2019 as osfei or [fwhy written 218 times in His Torah, Prophets, and Psalms. This name, which is actually an identity designation and mission statement means \u201cYahowah Saves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also noteworthy, qara\u2019<\/em> was deployed twice in this introductory statement regarding the arrival of Yahowsha\u2019. That is revealing because qara\u2019<\/em>, meaning \u201cto invite and to summon, to call out and to greet, to welcome and to meet,\u201d serves as the basis of Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>, the title Yahowah gave to the seven Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with God. Yahowsha\u2019s life would be defined by these days, which include: Passover, Unleavened Bread, FirstFruits, Seven Sabbaths, Trumpets, Reconciliations, and Shelters.<\/p>\n

Speaking of the most effective weapon that can be wielded against evil, Yahowsha\u2019 said of Yahowah:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) He caused<\/strong> (sym<\/em>) My mouth<\/strong> (peh<\/em>) to be<\/strong> like <\/strong>(ka<\/em>) a sharp and cutting<\/strong> (chad<\/em> \u2013 a piercing) sword<\/strong> (chereb<\/em>). In the shadow<\/strong> (ba tsel<\/em> \u2013 the protection, a representation of an entity formed by light in less dimensions) of His hands<\/strong> (yad<\/em>),<\/strong> He concealed Me in His bosom<\/strong> (chaba\u2019 \u2013 <\/em>He demonstrated His love for Me). He caused Me to be <\/strong>(wa sym la<\/em>) like<\/strong> (ka<\/em>) a sharp and purifying<\/strong> (barar<\/em> \u2013 a brilliant and shining, cleansing and perfecting, chosen manifestation of an) arrow <\/strong>(chets \u2013 <\/em>means to create separation through cutting off and away).<\/strong> In His quiver <\/strong>(ba \u2018ashpoth<\/em> \u2013 at the gate of His home), He protected Me <\/strong>(cathar<\/em> \u2013 carefully and securely covered Me, sheltering Me).\u201d <\/strong>(Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:2)<\/p>\n

Referring to this passage and to Himself, Yahowsha\u2019 is quoted three times saying the He came as a sword to bring division. He said that His message would divide families, as individuals chose whether to trust man or God, religion or the Covenant. This is also reminiscent of Yahowah asking Abram to walk away from his country, from Babylon, and away from his family before engaging in the Covenant.<\/p>\n

Words accurately, intelligently, and rationally wielded are more effective than any weapon. It is why they were consistently deployed by Yahowah and Yahowsha\u2019.<\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cshadow of His hands\u201d is revealing because Yahowsha\u2019 served as the \u201cyad<\/em> \u2013 hand\u201d of God, a \u201ctsel<\/em> \u2013 shadow of His light, representing His source of the light in fewer dimensions.\u201d Moreover, Yahowah\u2019s name, as is the case with Yahowsha\u2019, begins with a Yowd, or outstretched hand: i.<\/p>\n

Yahowsha\u2019 was \u201cchaba\u2019<\/em> \u2013 concealed\u201d from Herod in Egypt as a child. It was one of the ways Yahowah \u201cchaba\u2019<\/em> \u2013 demonstrated His love\u201d for Him. But He was hardly hidden from view, because He served as Yah\u2019s witness beginning in 30 CE.<\/p>\n

The \u201cbarar chets<\/em> \u2013 shining, sharp, brilliant, and purifying arrow, this cleansing and perfecting means to separation\u201d \u201cka \u2013 serves as an effective metaphor\u201d because it conveys the notion of a beam of light being sent out from the source with a specific aim \u2013 which is to enlighten, cleanse, and purify those set-apart unto God. And thanks to the Set Apart Spirit, there is more than one arrow released from God\u2019s quiver.<\/p>\n

And speaking of this \u201c\u2018ashpoth<\/em> \u2013 quiver,\u201d our lexicons tell us that \u2018ashpoth<\/em> also describes \u201cthe entrance, doorway, and gate of a home,\u201d God\u2019s home it turns out. And therein we find \u201ccathar<\/em> \u2013 protection in Yah\u2019s shelter.\u201d<\/p>\n

To maintain the proper perspective, realize that these words were spoken by Yahowah to Yashayah in Yahowsha\u2019s voice:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) He said<\/strong> (\u2018amar<\/em>) to Me <\/strong>(la<\/em>), \u2018You are <\/strong>(\u2018atah<\/em>) My Servant<\/strong> (\u2018ebed<\/em>), Yisra\u2019el<\/strong> (Yisra\u2019el<\/em> \u2013 an individual who engages and endures with God, who is empowered by God). In association with You <\/strong>(ba \u2018asher \u2013 <\/em>through thisbeneficial relationship with You) I will adorn splendorously <\/strong>(pa\u2019ar<\/em> \u2013 I will glorify and beautify, clothing in My glorified and exalted status).\u2019\u201d <\/strong>(Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:3)<\/p>\n

Yahowsha\u2019 is the Suffering Servant of Yahowah, the Implement of God engaged in the work of saving us, which is why His title, Ma\u2019aseyah, means: \u201cImplement Doing the Work of Yahowah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yahowsha\u2019 was sent to us to \u201cdisplay\u201d in a tangible way, Yah\u2019s \u201cglory and splendor.\u201d So then as a result of His participation in the first four Miqra\u2019ey<\/em>, Yahowah can \u201cpa\u2019ar<\/em> \u2013 adorn and clothe\u201d His Covenant children in \u201cpa\u2019ar<\/em> \u2013 His glory and status.\u201d When adorned in the Set-Apart Spirit\u2019s Garment of Light, we come to appear ever more like our Father.<\/p>\n

The means to our elevated status came by way of Passover where we become immortal, through Unleavened Bread where we become perfect, as a result of FirstFruits where we are adopted into Yahowah\u2019s family, and via Seven Shabat, where we are enriched, enlightened, and empowered by God.<\/p>\n

He personally paid the penalty we deserved, vindicating us. And while most Christians have been led to believe that He paid that price by dying on the cross, that isn\u2019t remotely accurate. Death isn\u2019t the penalty for sin\u2014separation from God is. And God cannot die. So that is why Yahowsha\u2019s soul descended into the depths, into the place of separation, during Unleavened Bread \u2013 the Miqra\u2019<\/em> of Matsah<\/em> \u2013 after He allowed Himself to be fully immersed in the burden of our sin. And that is why this next declaration reads\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI <\/strong>(\u2018any<\/em>), Myself, said <\/strong>(\u2018amar<\/em>), \u2018I have actually worked in the wearisome ordeal <\/strong>(yaga\u2019<\/em> \u2013 I have expended considerable energy, growing extremely tired (qal perfect)) of fully experiencing every aspect of vain delusions and worthless fantasies<\/strong> (la ryq<\/em> \u2013 of being summoned and called out to be brought forth as a weapon to combat that which is troubling and false), concerned about the depths of deceitful testimony which leads to nothingness, ruination, and destruction<\/strong> (la tohuw<\/em> \u2013 regarding confusion and dissipation to nothingness) and also<\/strong> (wa<\/em>) concerned about<\/strong> futile idolatry<\/strong> (la chebel<\/em> \u2013 vanity of the soul and wasted breath).<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have exhausted My strength and resources<\/strong> fulfilling the mission<\/strong> (koach kalah<\/em> \u2013 I have grown weary, expending all of My resources to mightily and with authority complete the task). Surely<\/strong> (\u2018aken<\/em> \u2013 indeed so that) My means of justly resolving the dispute<\/strong> (mishpat<\/em> \u2013 My plan and actions decide the matter and produce a just verdict) in accord with<\/strong> (\u2018eth<\/em>) Yahowah<\/strong> (efei \u2013 hwhy). My work and recompense<\/strong> (pa\u2019ulah<\/em> \u2013 My labor and compensation, My accomplishments and reward) is in association with<\/strong> (\u2018eth<\/em>) God<\/strong> (\u2018elohym<\/em>).\u2019\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:4)<\/p>\n

Our sin, our vain delusions and worthless fantasies, even our deceitful testimony, was born by Yahowsha\u2019 and carried away from us. He became Yah\u2019s weapon deployed to bear our destructive religious and political notions in order to ransom us, freeing us from them. And fortunately, He had the strength and authority to completely conclude this mission. By fulfilling the promises of Passover and Unleavened Bread, Yahowsha\u2019 \u201cmishpat<\/em> \u2013 justly resolved these disputes\u201d \u201c\u2018eth<\/em> \u2013 in accord with\u201d Yahowah. He was the Ma\u2019aseyah \u2013 the Work of Yah, doing all of these things in association with God.<\/p>\n

The reason that Yahowsha\u2019 could bear our sins, suffering for us on Pesach and Matsah rather than for Himself, is that He was perfectly Towrah observant. This is why He was qualified, authorized, and capable of accepting the sentence of those who actually committed these crimes.<\/p>\n

Next, God reinforces the purpose serving as the Sacrificial Lamb\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so then <\/strong>(wa \u2018atah<\/em>) Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy) says <\/strong>(\u2018amar<\/em>), \u2018I formed<\/strong> You<\/strong> (yatsar<\/em> \u2013 I fashioned and forged You) from the womb<\/strong> (min beten<\/em>) as <\/strong>(la<\/em>) a Servant for him<\/strong> (\u2018ebed<\/em> \u2013 from \u2018abad<\/em> meaning implement who serves him),<\/strong> so that<\/strong> (la la<\/em>) Ya\u2019aqob<\/strong> (Ya\u2019aqob<\/em> \u2013 one who supplants himself, digging in his heels, the father of Yisra\u2019el<\/em>) might return<\/strong> (suwb<\/em> \u2013 change and be restored) to God<\/strong> (\u2018el<\/em>), gathering and receiving<\/strong> (\u2018acaph<\/em> \u2013 bringing together, withdrawing, and harvesting) Yisra\u2019el<\/strong> (Yisra\u2019el<\/em> \u2013 individuals who strive with and are empowered by God) to Him <\/strong>(la<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

So <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) I have become significantly valuable, honored, and glorified<\/strong> (kabed<\/em> \u2013 extremely significant and distinguished, holding a highly exalted status) in the eyes<\/strong> (ba \u2018ayn<\/em> \u2013 perception and presence) of Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy). God<\/strong> (\u2018elohym<\/em>) was, is, and always will be<\/strong> (hayah<\/em> \u2013 exists as) My<\/strong> supporter and strength<\/strong> (\u2018azar<\/em> \u2013 My power, might, fortification, stronghold, and means to prevail).\u2019\u201d <\/strong>(Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:5)<\/p>\n

One of the most repeated predictions in Scripture, second only to the arrival of the Ma\u2019aseyah, is the return and restoration of Yisra\u2019el. And indeed, Yahowsha\u2019 is the only individual qualified to say these words without bragging.<\/p>\n

Yahowah is speaking now and\u2026\u201cHe says <\/strong>(\u2018amar<\/em>), \u2018He is a diminished<\/strong> (qalal<\/em> \u2013 smaller in energy and mass and lower in elevation) part of Me existing for you<\/strong> (min<\/em> hayah<\/em> la<\/em>), My<\/strong> servant<\/strong> (\u2018ebed<\/em> \/ \u2018abad<\/em> \u2013 implement for work and service) to stand up for and establish, restoring<\/strong> (quwm<\/em> \u2013 validating, confirming, and raising up) the tribes<\/strong> (shebet<\/em> \u2013 clans, family, and people) of Ya\u2019aqob <\/strong>(Ya\u2019aqob<\/em> \u2013 the beneficiary of the Covenant who became Yisra\u2019el), and to change, restore <\/strong>(suwb<\/em> \u2013 turn around, alter, recover, renew, return) and<\/strong> preserve<\/strong> (natsyr<\/em> \u2013 protect and keep, spare and shelter) Yisra\u2019el<\/strong> (Yisra\u2019el<\/em> \u2013 individuals who strive with and are empowered by God).\u2019\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:6)<\/p>\n

Yahowsha\u2019 is the \u201cdiminished manifestation of\u201d Yahowah, \u201cpart of\u201d Him, sent to us, for our benefit. He exists to serve us. And He did so by standing up for us sot the we could stand with God.<\/p>\n

Restoration was focused upon but not limited to Yisra\u2019el\u2026\u201cTo change them, get them to return, and restore them <\/strong>(suwb<\/em>),<\/strong> I will give You as a gift<\/strong> (natan <\/em>\u2013 I will bestow, deliver, and entrust You as a present) to<\/strong> (la<\/em> \u2013 in order to) provide light to<\/strong> (\u2018owr<\/em> \u2013 to shine brightly, illuminating) people from different races and places<\/strong> (gowym<\/em> \u2013 Gentile, and thus non-Yisra\u2019elite nations), to exist as<\/strong> (la hayah<\/em>) salvation<\/strong> (yashuw\u2019ah<\/em>) to the distant limits<\/strong> (\u2018ad qatseh<\/em> \u2013 far extent or ends) of<\/strong> the earth <\/strong>(\u2018erets<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thus says<\/strong> (koh \u2018amar<\/em> \u2013 this is what promises and declares) Yahowah <\/strong>(efei \u2013 hwhy), Redeemer<\/strong> (ga\u2019al \u2013<\/em> Savior) of Yisra\u2019el <\/strong>(Yisra\u2019el<\/em> \u2013 individuals who engage and endure with God), His Set Apart One<\/strong> (qadowsh<\/em>).\u201d<\/strong> (Yasha\u2019yahuw \/ Salvation is from Yah \/ Isaiah 49:6-7)<\/p>\n

Ga\u2019al<\/em> is a very specific, very costly, form of salvation. As you consider the meaning of the term, used here as a title, consider the price and who paid it.<\/p>\n

A ga\u2019al<\/em> is \u201cone who redeems.\u201d To \u201credeem\u201d is \u201cto buy back, to free from captivity by the payment of a ransom, to release someone from blame and debt, to remove an obligation by trading something of value.\u201d It is to repair, restore, and renew, to atone and reconcile.\u201d A ga\u2019al<\/em> is defined as \u201ca savior who ransoms, a deliverer who pays the price to buy back, a kinsman who frees and reclaims what is his, reestablishing a relationship,\u201d says<\/strong> Yahowah, Redeemer<\/strong> of Yisra\u2019el.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yahowah has confirmed that He, Himself, personally is the Redeemer, the Savior. Therefore you can call Him by His name, Yahowah, by His purpose Yahowsha\u2019 \/ Yah-Saves, or by any one of His titles: Yashuw\u2019ah<\/em> \/ Savior, Ga\u2019al<\/em> \/ Redeemer, or Qadowsh<\/em> \/ Set Apart One.<\/p>\n
