Unravel the Mystery of the Messiah in Scriptures

In Scriptures, the Hebrew name of God, who created the heavens and the earth, is Yahweh. English Bibles make use of the word LORD—all capitalized, instead of Yahweh.


Exodus 34
5
The LORD came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name Yahweh.
6 
Then the Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed: Yahweh — Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth

Holy garments of high priest

Holy garments of high priest The LORD instructed Moses to make holy garments for Aaron and garments for his sons to serve Him as priests Exodus 28 1 “Next, have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to serve Me as priests. 2 Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor. 3 You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest. 4 These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash.

Yahweh and His Messiah—The Anointed One

Who is God? God is the creator of heaven and earth, and everything in it; this makes Him the most powerful being in existence. His existence is eternal by nature, He rules His creation with righteousness, and His Sovereignty is established from the beginning. Deuteronomy 10:14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it. Who is a Messiah? Why does the world need the Messiah? Yahweh has given free will to all beings in heaven and on earth. Evil came into existence when a heavenly being of his own free will rebelled against Him and became His adversary. The adversary, Satan, with his army of fallen angels is leading a rebellion against the LORD of Hosts under the false impression that he can overpower God and establish his dominion.  Evil existed even before the world was created.  Then why didn't God create the world after destroying Satan and his army of fallen angels? If Satan of his own

Yahweh and the Man who wrestled with Jacob

Who is God? God is the creator of heaven and earth, and everything in it; this makes Him the most powerful being in existence. His existence is eternal by nature, He rules His creation with Righteousness, and His Sovereignty is established from the beginning. Deuteronomy 10:14 Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it. The Hebrew word for God is Elohim; and in Scriptures, the Hebrew name of God who created the heavens and the earth is Yahweh. English Bibles make use of the word LORD—all capitalized, instead of Yahweh; and the Hebrew word for Lord, a title of reverence, is Adonai. What are the other titles of Yahweh in Scriptures? LORD God, Creator, Maker, God Almighty. God speaks to Moses and reveals His name—Yahweh God spoke to Moses out of a flame of fire from within a bush on the mountain of God in Horeb and revealed His name Yahweh. Exodus 3: 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your

Predestination is an Illusion

Image
Yahweh foretold Rebekah what would happen to the two nations that would descend from Esau and Jacob—Gen. 25:23. Genesis 25 23 And the LORD said to her:  Two nations are in your womb; two people will come from you and be separated. One people will be stronger than the other,  and the older will serve the younger. This prophecy does not imply that Jacob was predestined to deceitfully take Esau's blessings from Isaac—when Rebekah asked him to do so. And Rebekah did not ask him to do so, so that she could bring the prophecy to fulfillment. Even before Isaac was born ,  Yahweh had foretold Abraham that his descendants (who would later turn out to be the Israelites—descendants of Jacob) will be enslaved in a land not their own for four hundred years—Gen. 15:13. And that they will return to the land that Yahweh swore on oath to Abraham in the fourth generation—Gen. 15:16 Read: Jacob. What's in a name? Yahweh's divine prowess to foretell despite human beings having free will sho

Jacob. What's in a name?

Image
Rebekah, sister of Laban the Aramean, set out from Paddan Aram and went with her nurse, Deborah, to marry Isaac, son of Abraham. Genesis 24 59 So they sent their sister Rebekah on her way, along with her nurse and Abraham’s servant and his men. The LORD foretold Abraham that his descendants will be enslaved in a land for four hundred years even before Isaac was born. In the same way, the LORD foretold Rebekah what would happen to the two nations that would descend from the twin boys who will be born to her.  Genesis 25 23 And the LORD said to her:  Two nations are in your womb;  two people will come from you and be separated.  One people will be stronger than the other,  and the older will serve the younger. The names Abraham, Sarah and Isaac were given by the LORD Himself, but He did not tell Rebekah to name them Esau and Jacob. Rebekah had a nurse, Deborah who came from Paddan Aram; they named the twins Esau and Jacob because at the time of birth, Esau

Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the nation of Israel

Important events that occurred after God made a covenant with Noah and his sons until the Israelites were rescued from Egypt: God's Covenant with Noah after the great flood The LORD calls Abram The LORD promises an heir to Abram The LORD foretells what would happen to Abram's descendants in a land for four hundred years The LORD makes a Covenant with Abram The LORD's promise of a son to Abraham The LORD meets Abraham before destroying Sodom and Gomorrah Birth of Isaac Abraham's faith tested Abraham sends his chief servant to get a wife for Isaac  The LORD foretells Rebekah about the two nations that will come from within her Birth of Esau and Jacob Esau despises his birthright God confirms the oath, that He swore to Abraham, with Isaac Esau marries Canaanite women Rebekah compels Jacob to deceive Esau and Isaac Jacob deceitfully takes Esau's blessing from Isaac Rebekah's instruction to Jacob Isaac's instructions to Jacob The LORD appe

Prelude

Image
In layman's terms, the book of Genesis, Chapter 1, gives an account of how Yahweh created the universe. That might not be convincing enough for people who doubt. A great place to start would be reading the book of Daniel, Chapter 2. He was a prophet who interpreted the dream of the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, who forgot the dream he had. Daniel not only was able to describe the dream that the king forgot but also accurately interpreted the dream by prophesying the kingdoms that will come into power after Babylon until the kingdom of God is established on earth. There is historical evidence to prove the accuracy of his prophecies. There are prophecies yet to be fulfilled. Daniel accredited his wisdom, knowledge and understanding to Yahweh. Acknowledging the Creator can give an answer to questions: Why are we in this world?  What will happen in the future? The books in Scriptures were written by people chosen by God to reveal His Sovereignty and what He intends t

Yahweh—The Eternal King of Righteousness

Image
Psalms 93 1 The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 2 Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity. The LORD foretold Moses what the Israelites would do in the land that He promised to give  Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an eternal possession. Deuteronomy 31 16 And the LORD said to Moses, “You will soon rest with your fathers, and these people will rise up and prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake Me and break the covenant I have made with them. 17 On that day My anger will burn against them, and I will abandon them and hide My face from them, so that they will be consumed, and many troubles and afflictions will befall them. On that day they will say, ‘Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is no longer with us?’ 18 And on that day I will surely hide My fac
