Luka 7:35
Who is the Ruach haKadosh (The Holy Spirit)? Is the Ruach a
force only? Or an inanimate object? Or a living conscious
being - the 3rd expression of a triune Elohim? But
what kind of an expression?
The Hebrew presents the Ruach in feminine tense, and with
female characteristics; but the Greek refers to the Ruach as
"He". Which is the more accurate description? And what role
has the Ruach played in the creation of the earth, and in
the lives of Torah obedient believers today?
Wisdom is justified of Her
Children, Luka 7:35
We have the Father, and the Son, but where’s Mom?
In Jewish thought and
literature, as well as in the nuances of the Hebrew language
itself, is revealed an understanding of the personage and
character of the Ruach HaKadosh that has for the most part
been lost through translation and introduction of pagan
influences into the assembly. Lost to everybody, that is,
except the Jews and others learned in the Torah, and in the
Hebrew language of Scripture.
The Ruach is simply the
femine manifestation of YHWH!
Let’s begin by first
stating that Hebrew, like many languages of the earth,
contain both feminine and masculine tenses. The tense of the
word determining the gender of the noun being described. For
example, in Spanish “muchacho” means boy, and “muchacha”
means girl. The “o” at the end of muchacho defining
masculine tense, and the “a” at the end of muchacha defining
feminine tense.
In Hebrew, the word “Ruach”
is feminine tense, assigning to the Spirit a feminine
nature, character, gender. But when a tense (male or female)
is in reference to a life form, then the tense is in
reference to the “gender” of the life form.
Since we know the Ruach to be a
conscious, living being, the manifested power of YHWH
capable of leading us, guiding us, and of instructing and
teaching us in the Way of all truth; Yochanan 14:26, Luka
12;12; we can determine from the tense of the Hebrew and
Aramaic words that the Ruach HaKadosh is feminine tense,
and therefore, “female in gender.
This point is entirely
lost in the Greek which has no feminine tense for spirit,
but only a neuter tense, which is why “Spirit” is always
presented as a “He” in the Greek (neuter words are given
male attributes in translation), which error has been
erroneously transferred over into the English. In the
Aramaic the word for Spirit is Feminine as well with the
word Ruacha
axwr,
confirming the Hebrew understanding of the word Ruaah or
You may
also at first thought think that this somehow is a study
endorsing “Mother of Heaven” worship, such as what the
Catholics with Mary, and as Moslems do with Fatima. However,
this study in no way shape or form endorses these false and
improper applications of the truths in Scripture concerning
the identity of the Ruach haKadosh (Holy Spirit), any more
than a true study on Kepha (Peter) would endorse Kepha
(Peter) as the first Pope, or as a true study on Ishmael
would endorse Mohammed as a true prophet.
All false religions take
truths of Scripture and corrupt and misapply them to one
degree or another. If anything, the existence of a concept
of “a mother in heaven” is only evidence of the fact that
haSatan (Satan/the Accuser) is a counterfeiter. And as such,
attempts to produce counterfeit substitutes for every aspect
of truth presented in Scripture in order to lead people
astray into false doctrines, such as the worship of “Mary”
as the Mother of Heaven, which teaching and heresy is akin
to blasphemy.
Scripture identifies Her
character and role in creation. She is our spiritual mother.
In Beresheeth (Genesis)
1:26,27 it is written,
1:26 “Then Elohim said, let
Us make humans in our image according to our likeness…”
1:27 And Elohim created man
in His own image, in the image of Elohim He created him,
male and female He created them.”
The word “human” here will
say “man” in your translation, but it comes from the Hebrew
word “Adam” which means humankind or “mankind“, if you
prefer the traditional term.
So if Elohim said “let us”
- plural - make humankind/ humans/ mankind in “our” image,
and He made them male and female, and the man was made in
the image of the father, then in whose image was the female
made in?
Do the Scriptures give us a
clue as to who was here in the beginning? Yes. Study
Mishlei (Proverbs) 8:1 through 9:5.
This whole passage
describes a being, named Wisdom, who is female in gender and
motherly in nature; and who was here at the beginning of
creation, and even before
creation, before there ever
was an earth.
It describes her as being
daily Yahweh’s delight, rejoicing always before Him, and in
His inhabited world; and states that her delight was in the
sons of men. Then She refers to Yahweh’s children as,
1- Her children;
States that,
2- whoever finds Her finds life;
that,
3- whoever sins against Her wrongs his own soul;
that,
4- She gives instruction concerning truth, righteousness,
and justice; and that
5- by Her, Kings reign.
In statement #1, in Mishlei
(Proverbs) 8, Wisdom refers to the children of Yahweh as Her
children.
This makes sense, for every
child is the product of communion between male and female.
In fact, every living thing on earth is the product of
communion between male and female of the species except for
viruses and bacteria.
This is why the Scriptures
state in Yochanan 3:5-7
3:5 Truly, I say to you,
unless one is “born” of
water (Word) and of “the Spirit (Mother)“,
he cannot enter the kingdom of Yahweh.
3:6 For that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which
is born of spirit is spirit.
3:7 Do not marvel that I
said unto you, “You must be born again“.
The Scriptures tell us in Romans 1:20 that the things
of Yahweh can be understood through that which has been
created.
Creation teaches plainly
that all life is born of the mother, of the female of the
species. Never of
the father/male of the species. It is the mother who carries
the child and gives birth to it. It all makes perfect sense
that if Yahweh created the family unit, that the family unit
must in some way be a reflection of Himself.
So here it is, we have
Yahweh the Father, and Yahshua the Son. But who is the
Mother, or motherly force? Creation itself teaches that
it is not possible for a child to have a father without
having a mother. Yahweh is not the Creator, or perpetuator,
of the single parent family, s.a.tan (Satan/the Accuser) is.
So, if our earthly
two-parent family structure is a reflection of the
heavenly/spiritual structure of things - which it is, for
all things in the earthly realm are patterned after those
things which are in the spiritual realm. It’s just a matter
of determining which spiritual realm is begin reflected.
Whether it is reflecting the spiritual realm of Yahweh, or
the spiritual realm of s.a.tan (Satan/the Accuser).
The two-parent family
unit is plain to see, for all of creation reflecting
Yahweh’s Kingdom is two-parent in structure. Now, once this
concept is understood, then some other Scriptures start
making more sense.
For example, Beresheeth (Genesis) 2:23,24. Adam said
concerning his wife, Eve,
2:23 This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she
shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man.
2:24 Therefore, a man shall
leave his father and mother to cleave to his wife.
So, Adam joined with his
wife Eve; and the Scriptures state that for this reason a
man shall leave his father and mother to be joined to his
wife.
So, how could Adam leave his parents to be joined to his
wife if he had no parents?
It is because he did have parents. In the beginning, in
Beresheeth (Genesis) 1:26, it is written,
1:26 And Elohim said, “Let Us make humans in our image, and
after our likeness…
And Elohim made them male and female; Beresheeth (Genesis)
1:27. In “their” image and likeness.
Sod-This helps to explain two other passages in the
B‘rit Chadasha (the New Testament). Ephesians 6:1,2
states,
6:1 Children, obey your parents in Yahweh, for this is
right.
6:2 Honor your father
and mother which is the first Commandment with promise.
What is the first
Commandment? To love Yahweh our Elohim with all our heart,
soul, mind, and strength.
That is, to honor our
father and mother, is the same as fulfilling this: the first
Commandment, of loving Yahweh our Father, with a promise
added to it.
What Promise? The
promise of the giving of the Ruach HaKadosh.
In Luka 24:49
Yahshua stated,
I send the promise of my father upon you; but wait in the
city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on
high.
Then in Ephesians 1:13 it states,
1:13 In Him is the
gospel of your deliverance, in whom also, after having
believed, you were sealed with the Ruach haKadosh
(Holy Spirit) of Promise.”
So, honoring our mother and father in earth is what? The
first Commandment of loving Yahweh our Father - with the
promise the Ruach HaKadosh, our spiritual Mother, added to
it.
Now, notice also the
curious expression in Ephesians that stated we have been
“sealed” with the Spirit of Promise. What in creation is
sealed by it’s mother, other than a child inside it’s
mother’s womb?
If you go to Galatians 4:19 you will find Rav Shaul
(Paul) presenting the analogy of laboring in birth until
Yahshua is formed in us, as it is written,
4:19 My little children, for whom I labor in birth again
until Messiah is formed in you.
In this verse we see the birth process described once again;
this time to describe the formation of our character, into
the character of Yahshua, thus completing the picture of us
being sealed inside the womb of our spiritual mother until
the character of Yahshua can be formed in us.
Now this takes us now to
Yahshua. For if all this is true, then we should be able to
find evidence of both the Father and the Ruach (Spirit)
being present at the time of Yahshua’s conception inside of
Miriam’s (Mary’s) womb.
Is there such evidence?
Absolutely, go to Luka 1:31,34,35 where it says,
1:31 Behold, you shall conceive in your womb and bring forth
a son, and shall call His name Yahshua…
1:34 then Miriam (Mary) said to the messenger, “How shall
this be since I do not know a man?”
1:35 And the messenger answered and said to her, “the
Ruach HaKadosh (Holy Spirit) will come upon you, and the
power of the Highest shall overshadow you; and therefore
that Holy One who will be conceived in you shall be called
the Son of Yahweh.
You see, the Ruach HaKadosh (the Holy Spirit) was resting
upon Miriam (Mary), and Yahweh, the Most High Elohim, was
overshadowing her.
The Ruach HaKadosh (Holy
Spirit) “rested upon” Miriam (Mary) - no doubt to place her
seed in Miriam’s (Mary’s) womb, and Yahweh no doubt
“overshadowed her” to cause that seed to be fertilized.
And in this case, Miriam
(Mary), with her pure, undefiled, virgin womb, was being
used as the concubine, or “surrogate mother“ if you will,
through which Yahweh and the Ruach HaKadosh (Holy Spirit)
would bring forth their Son into this world in human form
through.
Go to Ephesians 5:25-27
and 30-32. Where it states,
5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah also loved
the assembly of called out ones and gave Himself for it,
5:26 that He might purify it and cleanse it with the washing
of water by the Word
5:27 in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly,
not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it
might be set apart and without blemish…
5:30 for we are members of His body, “of His flesh and of
His bones“ [Compare to Beresheeth (Genesis) 2:23]
5:31 For this reason, a man
shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh; Beresheeth (Genesis)
2:24.
5:32 This is a real
mystery, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly of
called out ones.”
So here we are back to the
leaving of the father and mother scenario, but this time in
relation to Yahshua taking the assembly of called out ones
as His wife. Rav Shaul (the Apostle Paul) says this is a
great mystery, but he obviously knew what this mystery was,
as any one knowledgeable in Torah, and Scripture, will also
know.
First let’s address the statement about how Yahshua is
taking the assembly of called out ones to purify them, and
cleanse them with the washing of water by the Word.
Remember Yochanan (John)
3:5-6 where it stated we must be born of water and of
the Spirit? (Mother’s womb and the WORD/Yahshua)!
What is the common element
required for existence of all life on earth? Water. No
living thing on earth can be brought forth, or sustained,
without water.
And what, in particular, in
Scripture, is stated that requires water to in order to
germinate? A seed. And a seed in order to germinate must
first die and dry out; Yochanan (John) 12:24.
Then, to germinate it and revive it, we must provide water.
The Scripture states in
Galatians 3:29,
3:29 if you belong to Messiah, then you are Avraham’s
“seed“, and heirs according to the Promise.
In I Yochanan (I John) 3:9, it says,
3:9 Whoever has been begotten of Elohim does not sin for His
“seed” remains in him and he cannot sin, because he has been
begotten of Elohim.”
You see, repenting
and calling on Yahshua causes us to receive the Promise of
the Ruach (of the Spirit); Acts 5:31,32, and to be “sealed”
in Her womb; Ephesians 1:13, at which time Yahweh plants His
seed in us.
This seed in turn is
fertilized - germinated with the ‘water’ of the Word, thus
causing us to become conceived of the water and of the
Spirit as required in Yochanan (John) 3:5.
The continuous washing of
the water of the Word ultimately forming us into the image
and character of Yahshua.
Now, to get to the heart of
the mystery, Yahshua leaving His Father and Mother
to cleave to His wife - His assembly of called out ones
identified in Ephesians 5:25-32 quoted above, and
who have been “born” of the water and of the Spirit, if
I had not explained to you up to this point who the Ruach
is, this verse would probably have had little to no meaning
to you, but now perhaps you have an idea of what mystery Rav
Shaul is referring to.

Ruach or Ruacha. Feminine.
Ruach HaKadosh rather than Ha Kodesh. Kodesh is referred to as an object, kadosh
is use to refer to a living entity. We know the name of the Father -
Yahuweh. And of the Son - Yahashua. But what is the name of the Ruach HaKadosh
(the Holy Spirit)? Her name in the Hebrew is “Chochmah” (pronounced “KohK-mah”,
which in English means, and is translated as, Wisdom. And as it is written and
stated previously, in Luke 7:35
7:35 “Wisdom is justified by all Her children.”
Proverbs
8:1 She/Ruach calls for truth in the assembly and the lives of believers…
Mishlei
(Proverbs) 8:6,7 it states that Wisdom is the instructor of Truth, as it is
written,
8:6 Listen, for I will speak excellent things, and from the opening of my lips
will come right things, 8:7 for my mouth will speak truth...”
And in I Yahchanan (I John) 5:6 we read that the Ruach (the Spirit) is Truth.
And in Yahchanan (John) 16:13 that,
16:13 “When She, the Ruach (Spirit) of Truth has come, She will lead you into
all truth.” And isn’t it most often the mother who teaches the children the
commandments and instruction of her husband? Yahshua promised that Mamas
Torah would internalize the mitzvoth of the Abba. The Torah of ema is called
wisdom, and she is the Spirit of Torah bringing comfort to balance the Fathers
discipline. Mishle 1:8
And in Yochanan (John) 14:26 it says,
14:26 But the helper, the Ruach HaKadosh (Holy Spirit), whom the Father will
send in My Name, She will teach you all things, and declare to you all things
that I said to you.”
So here She is referred to as “the Helper“ or EZER, even as Havah (Eve) was
given as Adam‘s “helper“. EZER KENGEDO a Helper against or to balance the
overwhelming gevurah/power of the ABBA. The Ruach is the balance to ABBA just
like man and woman balance each other in the natural!
Some translations state comforter rather than helper. Both are correct, and
comforter still describes a female entity for it is the mother who usually
comforts the children. She balance the fathers strict discipline and rigidity.
These things should all be making sense by now. It’s only common sense that if
Havah (Eve) was called by Adam the “mother of all living” that there must also
be one who is the mother of all spiritually living; and that of course, is the
one whose image Havah (Eve) was created in; B‘resheet (Genesis) 1:26,27. Adam
was made in Yahshua’s image the Adam Kadmon and Chavah was made in the Ruach’s
image. Male and female.
Now, going back to B’resheet (Genesis) 1:26,27 where Elohim says, “Let ‘Us’
make humans in our image” In Beresheeth (Genesis) 11:7 it says,
11:7 Come let “Us” go down there and confuse their language that they may not
understand one another’s speech.
If the second party in the “Us” statement is
the Ruach HaKadosh (the Holy Spirit), then is it any surprise that the one who
caused the languages to become confused is the same who caused the languages to
be brought back into unity at Shavuot (Pentecost) in Acts 2:1-12? And doesn’t
even science indicate that it is the female gender that is the more gifted in
language?
Chochmah, like the Ruach HaKadosh (the Holy Spirit), is feminine, gifted in
language, a mother of the Sons of Elohim - one through whom we must be born.
And in
Romans 8:2 it is written that the Ruach of truth is the Spirit “of Life“.
And finally, last but not least, in Mattityahu (Matthew) 29:19 Yeshua says,
29:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, immersing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Ruach HaKadosh (the Holy Spirit).”
The Great Commission is in essence in invitation to join the 2 parent family of
YHWH.
She was there in the beginning, nurtures and
comforts her children, and leads Her
children into all truth as she upholds the Torah. And what a joy and wonderful
thing it is to know that we are part of a complete, two-parent family.
1:13 In Him is the gospel of your
deliverance, in whom also, after having believed, you were sealed with
the Ruach haKadosh (Holy Spirit) of Promise.” In this verse we see
the birth process described once again; this time to describe the formation of
our character, into the character of Yahshua, thus completing the picture of us
being sealed inside the womb of our spiritual mother until the character of
Yahshua can be formed in us.
