Isaiah 7:14…and shall call his name Immanuel by Rabbi Simon

 

Created 8th Jan 2010

 

 

 

The Hebrew reads as follows:

wqaaraa'* shmow `Imaanuu-'eel

translated “His NAME shall be called Imannu – El”

The first occurrence of this word is in Numbers with the great teacher and Rabbi Moses.

נאמן  Strong's H539

Abrahamic-Faith Netzarim Hebraic Study Scriptures

Numbers 12:7 My servant Musa (Moses) is not so, who is faithful in all mine Beyth (house).

In Numbers 12:7 Elohim describes Moses with this attribute.  Notice Elohim did not say “see how many miracles My Servant Moses performed and believe Him because of this but what Elohim liked in Moses was His steadfast “faith” or trust in Him. 

The word here is Amuna which in the Strong’s Hebrew is H529 and the second occurrence of this word occurs in Deuteronomy 32.20.

Deut 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom there is no faith.

The Amunah that Moses had, oh if only half of today’s believers had the same type of Amunah?  They lack it and run after miracles what foolish people falling and clucking like chickens and writhing like snakes, immensely deceived.  Yahushua said this about miracle following instant gratification type crowds.

Matthew 12:39 But He answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Yonah:

It might remind some of you of Lakeland Florida another place of mass deception with Mr Todd (Tattoo) Satanist Bentley being deceived and deceiving others.

Now the words in Isaiah 7:14 start to make sense as we can see that Elohim is describing an attribute that is so important to have but is lacking in many. 

This is why Yahushua said oh Ye of little faith.

O man of little “Emunah” meaning of little faith or little trust.  Faith is all about trust and not about how many miracles happen in your life to believe in Yahushua.  Usually the miracle followers are the worst in their “faith” and the first ones to backslide when the going gets tough because they will ask for a sign and won’t always receive it. 

So what does Isaiah 7:14 say?

It actually conveys an attribute of Elohim that I shall spell out here for you.

Wa Kara Shmo Imanu-el

Meaning - Shall be called El or the Mighty one who is “FAITHFUL TO US

Note removing any biases in the text actually correctly reads “The might one (El) is Faithful to us”, TO SAY IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE GOD IS WITH US would be the derived meaning or the secondary meaning of the text since He is Faithful towards us He will be with us so we have to depend on His faithfulness towards us more than ours towards Him.  Our faithfulness guarantees He will pay attention to our needs for sure but His faithfulness guarantees our salvation is secure (providing we are in repentance and Torah obedience) and He is also there when we need Him.

Yahushua is the personification or representative agent for the Father in heaven we are not saying that God looks like a man or is made of human flesh and blood but that He identified with us in our “likeness”, in a body that means He could not come as a dog, snake or a cow because we would not be able to communicate to these creatures on a personal one to one level.  Only deceived people can believe in animal worship since these ANIMALS ARE DEPENDENT ON OUR MERCY and not vice versa. How many speaking cows do you know of that can communicate with you and give you redemption?

The Flesh that Yahushua has is not earthly as we understand it but He is cloaked with heavenly flesh as He was clothed in heavenly dust because the conception of the virgin (Almah) was completely by the overshadowing of the Father and the (Ruach ha Kadosh) Holy Spirit so the Father and the feminine mother (Heavenly Spirit) came together to bring forth the Son that the Father had hidden in His bosom from everlasting long before He created us.

Catholics and Christian dogma alike have made a complete mess of calling all three of the offices of heaven “He” and another He to produce a HE.  Confused?  You should be and so is half the Christian world.  The Catholics Temple of Idolatry and homosexuality and now Anglicans are also joining it have made all three offices of Elohim a He which is nothing short of error. Please see our article that the Holy Spirit is not a He.

This is the Babylonian trinity made of three males complete with the Babylonian cross.  On the other hand the heavenly family revealed in Scripture is actually composed of the Father, the Mother and the Son.  We use earthly terms to define heavenly concepts but in reality what they represent in the one Akhad (Compound unity in Heaven) essence of the Almighty One is really beyond human comprehension. It is actually “light” of a special type that we do not understand nor comprehend.

Yahushua had no Yetzer Hara the inclination to sin and He was sinless while no human born in the earth apart from him is without sin.  If He was cloaked in the earthly flesh then he would be like you and me able and wanting to sin and to live in rebellion.  This is but a tremendous important concept for us to grasp and hopefully it clears up another mistranslated text in the Hebrew.

Here is a more accurately translated text in the Abrahamic-Faith Bible.

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore hwhy[1] himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a young maiden shall conceive, and bear a son, and He shall call his name Immanu’el.

Does it say a ‘young woman’ or a virgin:

Commentary from the AF Netzarim Hebraic Study Scriptures

According to the rules of the Hebrew grammar a word should end with a closed mem and not an open mem but the same child that is referenced in Isaiah 9:6, the word 'increase' is exceptional in that it has a closed mem in the word l’marbeh at the beginning. This is the only word in the entire scriptures that has the closed mem inserted in this particular way. It is clear this prophecy is of THE MESSIAH to come, many Rabbis acknowledge this before Messiah Yahushua's birth but the prophecy in Isaiah 7:14, which is linked to this became a problem for many because of Christians trying to evangelize the Hebrew people to become lawless Christians.

 

According to our sages the letter mem is related to the womb (Sefer Yetzira 3:4, Bahir 85). A closed mem therefore would be a closed womb (the Hebrew word for womb me'eh); and an open mem would be the opening of a womb and it would be miraculous if the woman was unmarried as in the case of Miriam, Yosef's wife. This would indicate at a sod level mystery that the child in Isaiah is not Isaiah's son but a future child, who would be concealed in the closed womb.

 

Many Rabbis argue that the word used here should be betulah and not Almah. It is true that scripture does use the word betulah more often for virgin than the word Almah as used here.  However note Almah is at times also used for a girl of marriageable age, who is a virgin such as we find in Genesis 24:43 referring to Rebecca. We therefore do not think it is necessary to detract and argue over one piece of text alone when we have other evidence. The first century gospel writer Matthew agreed in Matthew 1:23 that this piece of text relates to the virgin. We concur and this has no bearing on our faith to translate this to a young maiden. Moreover, note that this is not the only text that we are dependent upon because the hint of the virgin birth is in Genesis 3:15 since a woman’s seed was to crush Satan’s head. We know that a woman does not have seed but a man does so this is our clear hint of a virgin supernatural conception for those who complain where it is in the Torah.

 

If we look back at the translation of the Tanach in the Greek Septuagint written in 274 BC a long time before the Messiah was born then we have the word there in Greek as Parthenos. The word Parthenos can also mean a virgin or chaste young woman. While in a few places when the word 'betulah' is used it is almost always qualified with the words 'no man had known her'. This can be seen in such passages as Genesis 24:16 and Judges 21:21. Some scholars suggest that the original Isaiah may have the word betulah in Hebrew for a virgin however we cannot be certain of this since the Dead Sea Scrolls contain Almah. We do not think that it is necessary and also please note the Septuagint or the start of it was to translate the Torah, which was faithfully done by seventy two Rabbis but we have no record of them ever completing the whole of the Hebrew Bible referred to as the modern Septuagint. The Septuagint that we have today was most likely translated later by other scholars and not the original seventy two Hebrew Rabbis.

The answer was revealed much later though hidden in the text as the Holy Spirit who is defined as wisdom.

Luke 1:35 And the messenger answered and said to her, The Ruach ha Kadosh (Set-Apart Spirit)[2] shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest[3] shall overshadow you: therefore also that Set-Apart One which shall be born[4] of you shall be called the Son of Elohim.[5]

Now ask yourself what is the woman?  The receptacle that collects the seed and who is the one who fertilizes the seed.  In this case the conception of Miriam is shown to be 100% heavenly with the blessed Akhad family of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Yahushua is not of dual nature as popularly taught by the Christian churches but Yahushua is 100% Yahuweh revealed and carries none of our earthly dust. If He did then He would have the Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) and therefore He would not be without sin. This is an important point necessary to understand the Master.

Ask any Christian to explain how can Elohim break His own set laws by offering a human sacrifice when it is forbidden?  The truth is they do not have an answer with a dual natured messiah part man and part god.

The real beef is 100% heavenly and not part anything.  Let us see how this can be addressed.

In Deuteronomy 12:31 and other verses of scripture it is abundantly clear that human sacrifice is detestable to Elohim. So if Yahushua is a human sacrifice it would still be detestable unless he was not of the dust of the earth but dust of heaven, a special body prepared (Heb 10:5). When Satan was in the sky he was shot by a lightening bolt and he alongside his other rebellious angles fell on the ground with wings burning, the ash that fell was then mixed in the earth. This would mean that man when created was created from mud i.e. the ash included which explains the yetzer hara.

 

The idea that Yahushua is theanthropos or fully man and fully God has mathematical issues and cannot be resolved. The idea of one times one times one is simply Christian foolishness trying to justify the hybrid trinity.

 

This makes Yahushua a hybrid God/man so to speak. If you accept this view then you have to accept the Roman Catholic view of the Immaculate Conception which is that Mary was born without sin which we know is unscriptural. Many Christians are confused that the Immaculate Conception means the virgin birth but it actually doesn’t. It means Mary is sinless so please be careful not to fall into this trap.

 

Hopefully this truth will dispel any error because error begets error and the people in churches have for far too long lived with error now its time to break the shackles and come to the restoration truth of YHWH.

Shalom Shalom

www.abrahamic-faith.com Beyth Yahushua – Son of Tzadok, Son of Dawud

Would you like to know the identity of Yahushua's family? Did He have brothers and sisters, did He get married, are not Rabbis meant to marry, was Mary Magdalene His wife? All these answered in the book. Are you fed-up of hearing objections such as if you do not know who Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were then how can you claim to have the truth?

Do you feel frustrated to go to your Pastor only to be told he does not know?

What caused Rabbi Paulos to persecute perfectly normal Jewish men and women who simply practiced Judaism?  Who was Nicodemus, what relationship did Yahushua have with Lazarus? Did Yahushua have relatives? For too long He has been portrayed as the wandering man with no belongings and no family and living wildly, picking up food from the trees, fields and women offering him handouts.

This picture is both misleading and deceptive. Do you want to know the powerful family of Yahushua, fill the gaps? Who were Mark, Luke, Matthew and even John? What connection has Joseph of Arimathaea with Yahushua and why would a rich man like him be willing to give his own expensive tomb for Yahushua’s burial? It makes no sense. How many rich people give you their plot of land to bury your dead today? None.

 

Do rich men do such things, if so then why was the rich man in Matthew 19:21 unwilling to give away all his money? Did Yahushua carry the curse of Jeconiah (Jer 22:24-30)? The answer that Christendom gives is a copycat Judaism answer that the curse was lifted but it wasn’t. Jewish and Christian answers on this are wrong. What about the genealogy of Luke and Matthew why the two fathers of Yahushua Heli or Jacob in Matthew 1:16 and Luke 3:23? Will the real father of Yahushua please stand up and he surely will in this book.

Who were the Hebrews, what is the term “West” in Hosea 11:10 referring to?

Hosea 11:10 (KJV)…then the children shall tremble from the west.

 

If we believe popular opinions then they are all in Europe and America but the reality is very different.   This book is a wake up call to the last generations.

 

This book will give you new insights and the rich history of Yahushua.

[1] The masoretic text has Adonai here, which means my master or The Lord but the copper scroll of Isaiah found amongst the Qumran scrolls has the word YHWH in Hebrew.

[2] The feminine side of YHWH.

[3] The masculine side of Abbah YHWH.

[4] The Son Yahushua begotten from the Abbah’s bosom.

[5] Son of Elohim. The Abbah came together and so did the feminine side the (Holy Spirit) to produce the Son Yahushua. The conception was entirely supernatural, the sperm, the seed and even the egg. The only thing that was loaned so to speak was the womb of Miriam so she would be a surrogate mother so to speak.
