Knowing Yhvh (god)

Inspired by Paul van Cleeve

Do we really know YHVH? It is important because in Mat 7:21-23 Y’shua said to the people who called Him Master that they must go away because He do not know them. To be known by YHVH is to know YHVH and we do this through revelation of His Son Y’shua.

What does YHVH think about? He thinks about us and cares about us and wants to garter us toward Himself. ! "

If you look up in the sky, the head of a pin at arm' s length would totally block the view of the area of space this image was taken from. Each one of those galaxies above has approximately 400 billion stars similar to our sun. Each one of these galaxies is similar to our galaxy, the Milky Way, which is 100,000 light years across. The Milky Way which is the home of our Solar System contains at least 200 billion other stars (more recent estimates have given numbers around 400 billion). How Great is the One Who created all of this? Interestingly, some physicists now believe the universe has to be the size it is just to support life on earth, even more amazing, it may be all here just for us. His works are as deep as His thoughts, which are all about us. It seems that He created all of this so that we can exist before Him and He has done all of this for our benefit. " #. + '/'

Scripture informs us that YHVH does what he wants to do. It pleases him to love us and have mercy on us. It pleases him to have compassion towards us. Do we ever have to worry that He will stop caring about us and find something else to do? No! .(

He does not change and he cares for us because He is loving, peaceful, longsuffering, gentle, full of goodness, faithful, meek and full of joy over us. Let us look at each one of these aspects to get surety that He will complete what He started and planned right from the beginning when He created everything.

To love is a choice and YHVH chose your fathers and their seed so that you may be born to choose you as well because of His Covenant with them. You were chosen right at the beginning, even before you were born. 5 !

He loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son for us to pay the price with His precious Blood so that we might live and not die. He has committed Himself to us and if we commit ourselves to Him, then His redemption Plan will be complete in and for us.

When everything is complete and Y’shua reigns from the New Jerusalem after His Second Coming, His Government will be established and He will fulfil the prophetic picture of King David. Peace is the word “shalom” that means peace and ‘completion of the building process’. When everything is completed and His Creation of the physical and Spiritual are complete after the final separation of good and bad, holy and profane and righteous and unrighteous, then the building process of the Kingdom will be complete and will we experience His peace or Shalom. He will not stop until all is fulfilled and completed according to His Creation and Restoration Plan.

He is longsuffering and slow to anger and has patience with our shortcomings while we are still immature learning how to walk (halechah). His good attributes of patience and mercy will not oversee the guilty and ignore iniquity. YHVH is patient as long as time exists. He helps those who want to be helped so that they may comply to His righteous standard. His Plan dictates the timing of His final redemption and there is grace as long as time exists. It will all come to an end when He comes to separate iniquity and wickedness from the earth to make room for His Holy and awesome Presence. Sin cannot exist where He is and must be taken away to allow His dwelling Presence with His people.

YHVH’s Power is seen in His works and forces of nature he created, but He is not found within them, no, He is the still small voice that calls you when you make time to listen to Him. These elements are in the physical and will impress the fleshly orientated unbelievers but His presence is found in the Spirit in the stillness of His Peace and Gentleness.

YHVH’s Name is proclaimed in His Goodness and His Name will not be changed because of our iniquity. Even when we are rebellious and turn away from Him, He shows us His goodness and kindness and that lead us to repentance. His goodness is toward those who fear Him and trust in His Word. Do not trample on His goodness and do not despise His kindness because the time is set in His Plan where He will only be kind and good to those who followed Him. Humble yourself before Him and gain the full benefit of His grace and await His kindness to save you at the climax of the ages and the fulfilment of His Plan.

-, YHVH’s faithfulness is in relation with His Covenant He made with His people and the moon is a sign of His faithfulness to His Covenant He established with David. Davis is a foreshadow of the Beloved Messiah and in Y’shua will His Covenant stand, those who believe in Him. It is very interesting to see that the moon is our sign of His faithfulness in this Covenant in Messiah. But why the moon? The full moon and new moon is the sign YHVH uses to time His mo-ed or appointed times or Festivals. The Festivals are the events on which the Messiah has came and will come to fulfil the Plan supporting His Covenant. So, if we look at the moon, we see the surety of His faithfulness and the fulfilment of the last Festivals that will bring final redemption and restoration to His people who observe these times.

The Spirit of YHVH portrays His Character and He gave us His Spirit to help us to conform to His Character. If we live and walk by the Ruach and bear fruit, then we are being like YHVH. He is meek and gentle, patient and full of love. He is faithful and are at peace and do not flame up into anger. Satan is the opposite of this and the people who follow him portray his character: #+#+ '!-

No one can be as the Most High and pride and rebellion is the attempt to overthrow the authority of YHVH. To be like the Most High is to be meek and humble before Him and He will elevate you to the status He planned for you. So humble yourself before Him and He will exult you in due time. Our goals must be achieved by a work of the Ruach in our lives, not by our fleshly attempts dictated by Satan or our flesh. + #> " ()

When you ever see pride manifested in anyone who believes they are closer to YHVH than you happen to be or believe they have secret knowledge and are somehow special, then you can know they are neither. There is no pride in knowing or being close to YHVH. Any of us truly moving closer to him will realize our own depravity and that it is a privilege to know Him and not a right that comes through humility. 5

YHVH had already declared Job righteous, but Job did not see himself that way and fell in dust and ashes before Him. May we be like Job who seek the face of YHVH through the same Character we see in our Master, namely humility. Keep on enduring in faithfulness to the end, be encouraged, YHVH is saying these words to you. + #8 &

This not a picture we often think about. YHVH rejoicing and singing over us. Wow! He has an expectation that there will be people who will follow Him and you may be one of them. If you are, then He is rejoicing over you with great joy and cannot wait for that day to restore you back into His Presence to dwell with you as He dwelled with Adam and Eve in the Garden. Hold fast to His Covenant through Faith in Messiah and the work He will come to do at the time of His Judgement and pursue His Characteristics as dictated by His Sprit within you.
