EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW

 

Part 2

We spoke of the Name Yehoshua been stolen. Now let us see if Yehovah had a Ben. This blog is not a complete Torah study. But I want to show in the Scriptures that Yehovah told us that He had a Ben/Son.

Therefore Yehovah Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.  Yeshayahu/Isaiah 7:14

Immanuel means El (God) with us. He came at the correct time and was born at the place that it has been prophesied.

Next:

“But you Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from old, from everlasting.”Mikhah/Micah 5:2  

Yosheph (Joseph) also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Miryam (Mary), his betrothed wife, who was with child.  So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.  Luqas/Luke 2:4 -7

Let us read another verse of Scripture now.

“I will declare the decree: Yehovah has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”

Now therefore be wise O kings; be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve Yehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those4 who put their trust in Him.  Tehillim/Psalms 2:7-12

It is very clear that Yehovah has a Ben/Son. If you are Jewish, you may never have read this verse. I want you to know that Satan is the author of keeping you and the whole world in darkness. My brother and my sister, please read the Tanakh by yourself, for in it you will find the answer to all your questions.

“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God (El), everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of Yehovah of hosts will perform this.

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 9:6-7

This was fulfilled when Yehoshua came into this world. But His kingdom on the earth will be established at His second coming. First time He came to set us free.

Yehoshua came into this world and fulfilled the prophecies concerning His first coming. Please read of His fulfilled mission in Yeshayahu/Isaiah 53 which speaks of the crucifixion. Yehoshua died under the Roman Empire and was handed over by the religious leaders to be crucified. Please read the following verses:

Surely He has born our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Yeshayahu/Isaiah 53:4-5

He fulfilled what Abraham was going to do on the mountain. Yehovah had instructed to kill his own son. His only son. (Bereshit/Genesis 22)

What he was going to do was a shadow picture of what Yehovah would do. Yehovah handed Yehoshua over to be crucified. He used men, but it was His plan to save humanity, we, His children. Please read the New Testament completely for in them you will find the answer to all your questions about our Mashiach. He is LOVE in Person. It was the Love of the Father and His own love that made Him give His life to save you and me, and all humanity if they trust Him.

Mattithyahu/Matthew 27-28 describes of Him been betrayed and given up to die, but His rose again. Death could not keep Him, He is life. (See also Marqos/Mark 14-16; Luqas/Luke 22-24; Yochanan18-20)

I cannot possible write all these verses. However, in them we read of this sacrificial offering for us. Yehoshua’s name is above every name because He is the Ben/Son of Yehovah, and therefore He is Elohim.

 Almost all his apostle gave they died because they made His name known.

“Nor there is salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Ma’aseh/Acts 4:12

Yehovah is a triune Being. Father, Ben/Son, and the Ruach HaQodesh.

Then Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our Image. Bereshit/Genesis 1:26

He is a Unity, Echad, His Spirit was at the birth of the universe.

“And the Spirit of Elohim was hovering over the face of the waters.”

Bereshit/Genesis 1:2

Yehoshua was the Word of Elohim involved in Creation.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim (God), and Word was Elohim. He was in the beginning with Elohim. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In His was life….

Yochanan/John 1:1-3

Yehoshua is the Word of Elohim. Yehoshua spoke at creation and things began to exist.

Yehovah is Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Yochanan/John 4:24

 

Yehovah is our Father in Heaven. Yehoshua taught the disciples how to pray.

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.  Mattithyahu/Matthew 6:9

Yehovah spoke from heaven to Yehoshua at His Baptism.

Then a voice was heard from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  Marqos/Mark 1:11

All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit….” Mattithyahu/Matthew 28:18-19

“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-the Spirit of truth,” Yochanan/John 14:16-17

Clearly Yehoshua is the Son of Yehovah and our Savior who died and gave His blood to atone our sins.

 Yehoshua is His only begotten Ben, and we do well if we listen to Him and obey Him. He died on the cross so that He could shed His blood. The life is in the Blood, and the Blood, is our Atonement.

And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood  that makes atonement for the soul. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.’’  Wayyiqra/Leviticus 17:10-12

Yehoshua shed His Blood for you and me. He is our sublime Sacrifice and our Atonement.  He is Elohim in the flesh who came to redeem us sinners. 

Will you bow the knew today and ask Him to save you?

 

EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW

 

Today we begin talking about the Ben/Son of Yehovah, whose name is Yehoshua. I needed to mention first about bowing the knew. We read in the Scriptures in several places where people had to bow the knee.

Yosheph, the young son of Ya’aqov, who had been sold into Egypt. He ended in prison through false accusations, and when He interpreted the two dreams of Pharaoh, he promoted him to be second in command to himself.

You can read about this historical account in the Sever Bereshit/Genesis 39 -41.

Then Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Yosheph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put it around his neck. And he had him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!”

Bereshit/Genesis 41:42-43

Yosheph is a type of our Mashiach. Please read the whole story about him in Sefer Bereshit/Genesis.

From this story alone we learn that the office or title of a person, especially kings and their second in command, were treated as God. We, children of Yehovah our Elohim do not bow the knew to anyone, except to Yehovah and to Yehoshua and the Ruach HaQodesh who is part of the One True Elohim.

We know of the plurality of the Elohim of the Universe. I will not get into this now. Today I want to speak of Yehoshua. The Scriptures declare that every knew will bow to the name of Yehoshua or Yeshua which is the contracted form of Yehoshua, and it means, Yehovah Saves. Please remember this fact for it is very important.

I want to mention another Person in the Scriptures to whom we must bow the knew.

“Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. They have no knowledge, who carry the wood of their carved image, and pray to a god that cannot save. Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, Yehovah? And there is no other Elohim besides Me, a just Elohim and a Savior; there is none besides Me. Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am Elohim, and there in no other. I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall take an oath.”

Yeshayahu/Isaiah 45:21-23

The above verses speak of our Father, Creator, King of the Universe. He clearly declares there is no other Elohim besides Him. Idols are nothing. To worship is vanity for they are wood which cannot help anyone except to be used in building things and make a fire. Yehovah declares to be the only El in the world. He swear by Himself for there is no one Higher than Him. We take an oath in His name and bow the knee to Him.  As mentioned in my other messages, His name has to be spoken. We cannot change it into Adonai, or Hashem, or G’D or any other name. We must honor Him and call Him by the name He has graciously given us. The power is in the name, as it is also in the name of His Ben, Yehoshua.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Mashiach Yehoshua, who, being I the form of Elohim, did not consider it robbery to be equal with Elohim, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore Elohim also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Yehoshua every knew should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Yehoshua HaMashiach is Adon, to the glory of Elohim the Father.

Pilippiyim/Philippians 2:5-11

We bow the knee in worship. They bow the knew to false gods as Baal.

“Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have no bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Melakhim 1/1 Kings 19: 18; (See Romans 11:4)

They not only bowed by also kissed Him. And why should I not kiss my Savior? But I do!

Therefore, we see that we must bow in respect to our King. First Yehovah, our Father, and then Yehoshua His only Begotten, not made, Son.

Now let us see how the name Jesus came about it. The Bible was written in Hebrew and it worth talking about it. It was the Greeks who forbade to call Yehovah by His Name from 168-165 BCE. Antiochus Epiphanes came to Israel in order to make it his own conquered land. He tried for about three years. I spoke about this briefly. He forbade keeping the Sabbath, the circumcision, and the worship of Yehovah. He was a sun god worshiper and wanted all Israel to worship his god Zeus. He ha forced them to eat pork when he sacrificed a pig in the temple and forced the faithful servants of Yehovah to eat that unclean animal. Sadly, many did. There is much to this story. Eventually the Grecians were defeated, and Israel could have begun to speak the correct Name again.  But sadly, the command not to call on the Name Yehovah it must have remained in some people, for eventually they made a ban to stop speaking the name as it is written. Shortly after 70 CE His name Yehovah was stolen from the Jewish believers in Israel.  The enemy infiltrated the faith community and forbade speaking the correct Name.   

And now we notice that that through the influence of the heathen people the name Yehoshua was also stolen.

The Greeks again made a mess. They translated the name Yehoshua or Yeshua, into Iesous, which was translated into Jesus in English. I do not want to argue about this, but names cannot be translated. They must sound the same and mean the same in every language using the local alphabet or write it exactly as in the original language. Jesus means nothing. It does not tell me that it is the name of the Ben/Son of Elohim and that He is the Savior of the world.

They could have easily translated into Joshua conserving the meaning of Yeshua, which means Lord saves. But I notice the anti-Christ spirit was operating in their lives. The name Jesus means nothing, but it supposed to mean that He would save us from our sins!

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Miryam, for you have found favor with Elohim. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Ben/Son. And call His name Yehoshua. He will be great, and will be called Ben/Son of the Most High. And Yehovah Elohim shall give Him the throne of His father Dawid.”

 Luqas/Luke 1:30-32

Yosheph had a problem when his betrothed wife, for they were engaged, told him the news. But Yehovah sent him an angel to explain the situation.

And Yosheph her husband, being righteous, and not wanting to make a show of her, had in mind to put her away secretly. But while he thought about this, see, a messenger of Yehovah appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Yosheph, son of Dawid, do not be afraid to take Miryam as your wife, for that which is in her was brought forth from the Ruach HaQodesh. And she shall give birth to a Ben, and you shall call His Name Yehoshua for He shall save His people from their sins.”

Mattithyahu/Matthew 1:19-21 HS

Hebrew names have meaning, as stated Yeshua speaks of salvation. Yehoshua means Yehovah Saves. Why in the world people do this? It seems they did it either to degrade our Savior, or because they had sin in their lives and Satan used them to steal the Glorious Sanctified Name from us. I want to believe they did it in ignorance and not on purpose. They were weak vessels that Satan used to keep us from the knowledge of the correct names of our Creator Yehovah and Yehoshua, one Elohim.

We must do the search ourselves and find out as much as we can of the false translations we find in the Scriptures, especially the New Testament.

Yehovah has a Son.

To be continued.

 

Note: Yehovah is translated erroneously as the LORD, which is only a title, not a name.

Yehoshua is given a different name all over the world except in Israel. In America is called Jesus.

Ruach HaQodesh is the Holy Spirit.

Adon is Lord in English.

Miryam is Mary in English
