I I am YHVH and besides Me there is no Saviour

The Hebrew Messiah as viewed from the TaNaK

It is common when seeking knowledge and understanding of the Hebrew Messiah to focus on the Messianic Writings, and in particular, the first 4 books that comprise the Good News. Perhaps the most common reason will be the shared background of many that is Churchianity. Most of us having spent at least some time during our journey for the Truth in Churchianity are conditioned by the ways of Churchianity. It is Churchianity that worships its Greek messiah in the flesh, and claims that its Greek messiah has nailed the Torah to the cross, thereby effectively being left with reading from the Book of Questions that they have named the New Testament. Another reason for this approach is that while in the flesh, it is much easier to deal with matters of the flesh, and it is in the Messianic Writings that we see Abba YHVH fulfilling His promise as found in Bereshit 1:26 to come in the flesh, in His own image and likeness.

Let us consider for a moment if this is a wise choice. The Messianic Writings, the Book of Questions, is based entirely on the TaNaK, the Book of Answers. At least the original Hebrew texts of the Messianic Writings are based on the TaNaK. The current text that we find in the Messianic Writings today comes not from the original Hebrew manuscripts, and not even from the original Greek manuscripts that were translated from these Hebrew manuscripts. The text we find today in the Messianic Writings comes from over 28,000 Greek manuscripts that do not even agree with one another. Talk about leaven! How can one possibly sift through this mess to find the truth about the Hebrew Messiah?

This is not to say that we should discard the current version of the Messianic Writings in its entirety, for there is always just enough of the lie mixed in with the truth to confuse and mislead. Once mislead, the lie takes on a life all its own. The prudent course of action is to take Scripture in its entirety, recognizing that once spoken, His Word will never change. To do so requires us to spend much time in the TaNak, so as to confirm the truth that is contained in the current version of the Messianic Writings and be able to indentify the leaven that has so contaminated Abba’s Word.

The overriding theme that we find in the current version of the Messianic Writings is that of a Father, Son and Set-Apart Spirit. Some will consider a fleshy, meaning three separate and distinct beings, trinity or twinity, and others will consider this to be a spiritual trinity or twinity. This belief that Abba YHVH is not ONE but two or three, is one of the two biggest lies that the enemy has so successfully perpetrated on mankind these past 6,000 years, right along with the lie that man is made in His image. (See “A Discussion Older Than Time Itself” and “So You Wanted to be Deity!” for more on this particular matter.) Remembering that the Latter End of ALL matters is a close, interpersonal relationship with Abba YHVH, changing His identity and man’s identity makes this relationship impossible. It is only when we allow Him to remind us of who He is and who we are that we can truly begin to enjoy the relationship that is closer than a brother.

That brings us to the question at hand:

Who is the Hebrew Messiah?

Is He, as we are lead to believe from the current Messianic Writings, the Son of Elohim, the Son of Abba YHVH, a second distinct being apart from Abba, or even somehow a second distinct being that is somehow one with Abba? Clearly this is what is being communicated throughout the four Books of the Good News. Many, perhaps even most, today go so far as to even give their worship and have their relationship with the Hebrew Messiah, despite being instructed to know no man in the flesh, not even Messiah.

In Shemoth (Exodus) 3:14 Abba YHVH gives us the meaning of His Name - Eheyeh Ashur Eheyeh - I Am that which I AM, I WILL Be whatever I WILL BE, and I WILL BE for you whatever you need Me to be.

I AM that which I AM - The ONE without beginning and without end.

I WILL BE whatever I WILL BE - When He put on the flesh for us He become our salvation and we knew Him then as Yahshua meaning YHVH is my salvation.

I WILL BE whatever you need Me to be - We need Him to be our Atonement - The blood He shed on the stake covers the blood sacrifice required by Torah for the forgiveness of sins once and forever. We now refer to Him when we speak of His earthly ministry as Yahoshua meaning YHVH is my salvation completed.

The entire plan of salvation is contained in the meaning of Abba YHVH’s Name!

Consider this for a moment. Whose blood could possibly satisfy once and for all the Torah requirement of a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins except that of Abba YHVH Himself?

Another point to consider; The Hebrew Messiah came to save the lost sheep of the House of Israel (not the House of Judah) from the Torah law that they were bound to until the death of their first Husband. As all of Israel was married to Abba YHVH on Mt. Horev, He is their first Husband. If it was not Abba YHVH Himself that put on the flesh and died on the stake, but instead a second being such as son like you or I might have, or even a second spiritual being that is somehow one with Him, then Ephrayim, the House of Israel, is still lost in the Torah law that forbids her remarriage! Scripture tells us that YHVH Yahoshua betrothed Ephrayim at the Last Supper. She is currently His bride in waiting. For the Hebrew Messiah to be any other than Abba YHVH Himself would make Abba a liar. This is impossible, for it is only His Word that once spoken will never change. This must then be the work of the father of lies, the author of confusion, the enemy of love and all things good, for it is he that has been trying to make Abba a liar from before Bereshit.

Abba YHVH tells us in Yehezqel 37 that HE will join the two sticks together in HIS hand. In Yohanan 10 it is YHVH Yahoshua speaking about this same event. Again, if YHVH Yahoshua is not Abba YHVH Himself in the flesh, than Abba YHVH would be a liar, as Abba told us that HE would bring the two houses back together. Again, impossible!

Scripture assures us that all are without excuse. If Abba YHVH sent another in His place to walk through this furnace of affliction, just as we must, does that not leave all with a pretty darn good excuse? Abba YHVH Himself would not or could not do what He asked us to do. Again, for this to be true renders Abba YHVH a liar, which He is not!

The greatest command in Scripture is the Shema, the command to hear, found in Devarim (Deuteronomy) 6:4. Hear what?

“Hear, O Yisra’el: YHVH our Elohim,

YHVH is echad”

Echad is the Hebrew word meaning one. Many will argue that echad also means a plurality of one. While Abba YHVH does give us at least 12 titles/attributes for Himself in Scripture so that we may come to know Him better and walk closer with Him, He does not take on a separate form for each of these attributes. One of these attributes is that of YHVH Yahoshua, our Saviour. If Abba Himself is not our Saviour then one must also conclude that instead of two, Abba YHVH must be at least twelve, one for each of these various attributes. If this is so, how many thrones does Abba have? Where do all these forms sit with Him in Heaven? How does He share His esteem among these many forms?

Abba YHVH shares with us in Shemoth 20:2-6 that it is He and He alone that delivered us out of Mitsrayim and that we are to have no other mighty ones against His face, nor worship another! These are the first two of the Ten Commands!

“I am YHVH your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. You have no other mighty ones against My face. You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, YHVH your Elohim am a jealous El, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.”

When one gives their worship to the Son, and has their relationship with this same Son, are they not in violation of both of these commands? For they have established another mighty one in His face, a mighty one of flesh and blood, the flesh of which profits nothing, who He Himself even said was not good. Is this not the very same thing that Churchianity is guilty of, except the names have been changed?

What follows is a list of Scripture passages that confirm, in addition to those already mentioned, that Abba YHVH is ONE, and that this second being, this imaginary Son that has been invented by the enemy is just part of the lie, part of the doctrine of demons.

The Hebrew Messiah is Abba YHVH in the flesh!

Bereshit 49:10 “The sceptre shall not turn aside from Yehudah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him is the obedience of peoples.”

Yeshayahu 33:22 for YHVH is our Judge, YHVH is our Lawgiver, YHVH is our Sovereign, He saves us.

Lawgiver is one of the titles for Messiah in Torah. YHVH is our Lawgiver!

Bereshit 49:24 “But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Ya’acov – from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Yisra’el.”

Tehillim 23:1 YHVH is my Shepherd; I do not lack.

Qoheleth 12:11 The words of the wise are like goads, and as nails driven by the masters of collections – they were given by one Shepherd.

Yohanan 10:14 “I am the Good Shepherd. And I know Mine, and Mine know Me.”

There is only one Shepherd, and His Name is YHVH!

Devarim 4:35 “You have been shown it, to know that YHVH Himself is Elohim; there is no one beside Him.”

Devarim 4:39 “And you shall know today, and shall recall to your heart that YHVH Himself is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth beneath; there is none else.”

1 Shemu’el 2:2 “There is no one set-apart like YHVH, for there is no one besides You, and there is no rock like our Elohim.”

2 Shemu’el 7:22 “You are great indeed, O Master YHVH. For there is none like You, and there is no Elohim but You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”

Yeshayahu 44:6-8 “ Thus said YHVH, Sovereign of Yisra’el, and his Redeemer, YHVH of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Elohim. And who is like Me? Let him call and declare it, and lay it before Me, since I appointed the everlasting people. And the events that are coming and those that do come, let them declare these to them. Do not fear nor be afraid. Have I not made you hear, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there an Eloh besides Me? There is no other Rock, I know not one.’ ”

Yeshayahu 64:4 Since the beginning of the ages they have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any Elohim besides You, who act for those who wait for Him.

Yirmeyahu 10:6 There is none like You, O YHVH. You are great, and great is Your Name in might.

Zekaryah 14:9 And YHVH shall be Sovereign over all the earth. In that day there shall be one YHVH, and His Name one.”

Tehillim 73:25 Whom do I have in the heavens? And I have desired no one besides You on earth.

Tehillim 86:10 For You are great, and are doing wonders; You are Elohim, You alone.

There is no committee of two or three. There is none other than YHVH Elohim!

Yeshayahu 43:3 “For I am YHVH your Elohim, the Set-Apart One of Yisra’el, your Saviour…”

Yeshayahu 43:11 “I, I am YHVH, and besides Me there is no Saviour.”

Yeshayahu 49:26 “…All flesh shall know that I, YHVH, am your Saviour, and your Redeemer, the Elohim of Ya’acov.”

Yeshayahu 45:21-25 “Declare and bring near, let them even take consul together. Who has announced it from old? Who has declared it from that time? Is it not I, YHVH? And there is no mighty one besides Me, a righteous El and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am El, and there is none else. I have sworn by Myself, a word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, so that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. One shall say, ‘Only in YHVH do I have righteousness and strength’ – he comes to Him. And all those displeased with Him shall be put to shame. In YHVH all the seed of Yisra’el shall be declared right and boast.”

Hosea 13:4 “But I am YHVH your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, and an Elohim besides Me you shall not know, for there is no Saviour besides Me.”

YHVH is our Saviour!

Hosea 2:19-20 “And I shall take you as a bride unto Me forever, and take you as a bride unto Me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and kindness and compassion. And I shall take you as a bride unto Me in trustworthiness, and you shall know YHVH.”

Revelation 21:9 “…Come, I shall show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

The Lamb is none other than Abba YHVH Himself!

Zekaryah 12:10 YHVH speaking, “And I shall pour out on the inhabitants of the house of David and on the inhabitants of Yerushalayim a spirit of favour and prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son.”

It was YHVH Himself whom was pierced on the stake!

Mal’aki 3:1 “See, I am sending My messenger, and He shall prepare the way before Me. Then suddenly the Master you are seeking comes to His Hekel, even the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight. See, He is coming,” said YHVH of hosts.

YHVH did not send another in His place. He came Himself!

Yeshayahu 48:11 “…And My esteem I do not give to another.”

Tehillim 18:1-4 “I love You, O YHVH, my strength. YHVH is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer; my El is my rock, I take refuge in Him; my shield and the horn of my deliverance, my high tower. I call upon YHVH, the One to be praised.

Abba YHVH is the only ONE worthy of our praise!

Tehillim 118:26 Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of YHVH!

Who but Abba YHVH Himself could possibly come in His Name!

“For I am YHVH, I shall not change…”

Mal’aki 3:6

When the Messianic Writings conflict with the very Words of Abba YHVH, we must search our hearts to see whom we believe and follow – the authors of the 28,000+ Greek manuscripts and those that have taken these manuscripts and twisted them into what they call the “New Testament” OR Abba YHVH.

Remember that one cannot serve two masters, the Truth and the lie, for he will hate the one and love the other.

Abba YHVH is sitting on His Throne of Grace and Mercy, ALONE, with none seated on either side, sharing His esteem with no other, inviting all to come and reason together with Him and Him alone, to come out from under the traditions of men that have made His Word void, come out of the lie to hear this simple truth

"My Name is YHVH, I am Spirit and Truth, I am the ONE that dwells in your heart, and besides Me, there is no Saviour.”

Peace and Love in the Name of YHVH
