Tomorrow is Shavuot :) - The Giving of
the Ruach haKodesh
Torah Parashah - B’midbar ~ B’midbar
(Numbers) 1:1- 4:20 p.105
Ruach haKodesh - The Holy Spirit
Torah Parashah - B’midbar (Numbers) 1:1-
4:20 p.105 - taking a census
Buckle your seat belts...I want to teach/talk about The Ruach HaKodesh.
Let’s first back up and remember that we
are learning that MOST of what we have been taught is not okay - but either
full out WRONG or WICKED - lies twisted with enough Truth that the lie becomes
believable.
We know “HE” was given at Shavuot...
we know that Messiah Yahusha said...
(Road to Amma-Us)
Luka (Luke) 24:13- 53 p 752
focus
on verse 49
49
“And, see, I send the Promise of My Abba upon you: but remain in the city of Yahrushalayim,
until you are clothed with power from on high.”
And we know about GIFTS of the
Spirit....
Qorintyah Alef (1 Corinthians)
12:1-10
p 860
4 “diversities of gifts, but the same
Ruach”
7 “But the manifestation of the Ruach is
given to every man to profit himself and all others.”
1
word of chochmah = word of wisdom
2
word of da’at = word of knowledge
3
emunah = faith
4
healing
5
nisim = miracles
6
prophecy

discerning of the emet Ruach = discernment of the Spirit to know
what is truth

interpretation of diverse languages
We were taught that these things just
happened in Acts 2 and forward..
Were
there healings and miracles in the Tanakh?
Miraiym was healed of leprosy.
Were
there tongues in the Tanakh? - Yes. Niguneem.

Spirit = Hebrew = Ruach
1st use - (because we look at first use
to define it)
(Brad Scott)
B’re’shiyt 3:8 p 10
“And they heard the voice of YHUH
Alohiym walking in the garden in the cool of the yom:”
cool of the yom = ruach hayyom = wind of
the day
= a comforting, active presence and not
passive, a constant reminder of what was to come.
This helps us understand the function of the Ruach
haKodesh (or the sanctified wind of the
Holy One)
The Holy Spirit is the active presence
of YHUH that brings back to remembrance of the Word of YHUH.
Yochanan 3:8 p 756 “wind”
“The
wind blows where it desires, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell
where it comes from, and where it goes:
so is every one that is born of the Ruach.”
Yochanan 14:26 p 770 “bring all things to your remembrance”
“But the Comforter, which is the Ruach
HaKodesh, whom the Abba will send in my Name, He shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to y our remembrance, whatever I have said to you.”
****
But let’s go back to the beginning for a
bigger picture.
Brad Scott even explains the B’re’shiyt
as YHUH starting with a Bayit - a house... and out of the Bayit - (the first
letter of Torah) - all the rest comes...
Brad explains that YHUH started with a
HOUSE - a piece of land - and a family.
Did you think this odd?
I sure did... because there was no family in
the first few verses...
So I thought at the time - oh - the
family comes when Ahdahm and Chavah are created....
but that is not until later...
Moen’s work...
So let’s look at the words - “male” and
“female”...
“Male” in Hebrew = zakar.
It is a noun that appears 82 times in
the Word.
It is most likely derived from a root
that means “to be sharp pointed”.
“It stands in complementary opposition
to the Hebrew noun for female...
Female in Hebrew = neqevah.
Neqevah is derived from a verb that
means “to pierce”.
Okay we can see the sexual metaphor...
.....
but Moen says there is much more to this...
So let’s talk a little more about Hebrew
words...
Zakar - we already said - means “male”
But zakar is a homophone.
A homophone is a word that
is spelled exactly the same way in Hebrew - (Zayin - kaf - resh ) - but it has
a different meaning.
Moen says...
“As a
verb - “zakar” - suggests some
very interesting possible connections to the Genesis creation account.”
The main meaning of the VERB -- ZAKAR = “To Remember”!!
We can say... “Well ... ‘to remember’ -
that is a cognitive, or thinking process.”
BUT - in Hebrew - mental activities are
intimately connected to actions.
In Hebrew - Zakar describes a presence
of mind that is taken to heart.
Let me say that again....
In Hebrew - Zakar describes a presence
of mind that is taken to heart.
In other words...
“It is thinking that becomes doing.”
= The purpose of zakar is not simply to
bring something to mind... It is also to bring something to mind IN ORDER
TO ACT UPON IT.”
Zakar - is “necessary for human
existence and is a fundamental bond of mutual remembrance that unites YHUH and
man”.
“There is another indication that
remembering is essential to what it means to be a man.”...
Zakar has 2 meanings.
ZAKAR =
1. zakar = male
2. zakar = to remember.
Hebrew has 2 words that are
translated as “MAN”
1. Adam = the individual man or the person - Adam
2. “ish” - B’re’shiyt 2:23 p 10
ISH has a homophone....
1. “to show oneself to be strong”
2. “to fix in mind” (ie remember)
FEMALE
“Neqevah” = female
Neqevah ...
- The Arabic cognate not only means “to pierce,
to make a hole”,
- but also to “single out” and “to appoint
as a leader”
(Divre
Hayamim Bet (2 Chronicles) 28:15 p
667 )
Neqevah =
homophone...(of verb construct)
1. neqev = “to pierce”
2. neqev = “a prepared setting for precious stones
= “a purposeful boundary, a
designed setting”
- this seems odd to us because we don’t really
see the connection....
BUT...
Moen says...
“If neqevah is “the pierced one”,
perhaps the homophone suggests that she is also the “boundary -setter”,
“the designed setting” for human dynamics.
This may point us toward the complementary
roles of the female = “Appointed to a high office
revealing her identity, a conduit for all subsequent name-giving identity and
the one who maintains the boundaries.”
B’re’shiyt 1: 26-27 p 9
“And Alohiym said, Let US make man in Our image, after Our likeness: and let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps
upon the earth.
27 So the Word of Alohiym created man in His own image, in
the image of Alohiym He created him, male and female He created them.”
Tselem
- “image”
- is a masculine noun
transferred authority and order over
what destroys.
To be created in YHWH’s image is to
reflect divine action.
Demut
- “likeness” -
is a feminine noun.
“Being human is ACTING according to
YHUH’s path to life.
It means standing against chaos.
.. It also means knowing what is
permitted and what is not and acting accordingly.
To
be human is to ACT LIKE YHUH ACTS... to reflect His choices... It is not to BE
YHUH... but to reflect Him.
“Male”
in Hebrew = zakar.
“to be sharp pointed”
“To remember who YHWH is and what He said
and to act accordingly”
Man =“Ish” = to show oneself to be
strong and to fix in mind (remember)
Female
in Hebrew = neqevah.
“to pierce”
“To single out” and “appoint as a
leader”
“A prepared setting for precious stones”
= “boundary setter”
Ishshah = woman
B’re’shiyt
2:18
- “Helper” = Ezer Kinegdo
“Ezer” = “helper”
“kinegdo” = “as in front of him”
“It is not Adam’s productive energy that
needs assistance. It is his faithfulness
to YHWH’s instruction.
He needs a protector, encourager, and spiritual director.
He needs someone assigned to keep him on
the straight and narrow.
He needs one who comes alongside for the
express purpose of guiding his obedience.”
Her role is the role of priest and
spiritual guide for Adam!”
Moen says that the Hebrew text actually
gives PRIORITY to the creation of woman. = 6 times more text - than that of
man!
“The origin of woman is the capstone of
all YHWH’s work, signaling that the entire plan is now complete. It is the most important even in the whole
story, positioned last to signify its emphatic climax.”
“From a Hebrew perspective, Chavah, not
Adam, is the concluding masterpiece.”
She
is created LAST.
- Adam’s word for woman - A-SH-SH-H Y =
aleph-shin-shin-hey
= double consonant - shin shin ....
Remember double words make an emphasis
... and so do double letters.
This double shin shows us - woman is a
consumer and a destroyer... a very
powerful combination.... She makes and she takes away.
Another way to look at it is
“She faces two directions at the same
time: one toward the man in productive
cooperation ad the other away from the man, opposing his efforts when he does not remember the prime directive.
Her
role is to stand apart from the man and challenge him to act in ways that
remember who he is and who YHWH is.”
(This sounds like Ruach HaKodesh to me!)
“When she fulfills her role as YHWH
designed it, she becomes the most powerful ally a man could have.
She is designed to both push and
pull. She pushes her mate toward
responsible action and she pulls him away from irresponsible self
-determination.”
simple - when the male is being obedient
to YHUH - she is his strongest support/ally.
When he is not being obedient - she stands opposed to him as
destroyer.
CHAVAH
= literally means = “the mother (source) of all living who worship/work”
This
is her legacy.
Since Hebrew uses the same word for work
and worship, the name Chavah also means the woman brings life to all those who
worship.
**
-The EZER is Yah’s answer for man being
alone... just as the covenant with Avraham is Yah’s answer from man being
separated from YHWH.
“We once asked how the EZER KENEGDO
could act as a priest and guide in a perfect world. We asked how she could be connected with the
idea of forgiveness. Now we see the
answer.”
“She has a covenant relationship with
YHUH; a covenant relationship that is built right into her very existence. Her connection to Yah is precisely what
equips her to accomplish the purpose of her existence - to bless her man. She is the physical manifestation of YHUH’s
grace, the one who guards him and guides him toward harmony with the Creator
and the creation. She embodies the attributes
of the truest EZER.”
It’s interesting to note that Moen says
“There are several other verses in the Word that portray the same analogy. In each one, YHUH is represented by the
woman, not the man. The Woman and YHUH
stand on the side of the covenant. The
Man is the beneficiary on the other side of the covenant.”
Process how this relates to Holy Spirit!
Now I want to turn to some
things Matthew Nolan taught recently....
Romans 8:16 p 844
“The Spirit herself
bears witness with our ruach,
that the b’nai (the children of) YHUH.”
We live in a society where
men have taken control and the texts have been corrupted.
Holy Spirit relationship is
as a child with a mother... she comforted me... drew me to the Son...
The Son is a lot less of
intimidating relationship than with the Father.
for many years my
relationship was the mother drawing me to the Son.
As I matured - the conviction
of the Ruach got bigger and bigger....
Jews have rejected the Son...
and tried to bypass the family structure and go directly to the Father - and if you deny the Son - you do not have the Father
also...
so there is brokenness if we don’t understand the family structure.
It shouldn’t be a mystery of
if Holy Spirit is male or female...
“The mystery regarding
whether the Holy Spirit should be proclaimed as HE or SHE is resolved when you
realize that
the male Latin = ‘Spiritus’
which translates the neuter
Greek = ‘Pneuma’
translate the Hebrew word
Ruach which is always FEMALE.”
(although I did find several commentaries that said 2 times
in the Tanakh
- it is referred to as male)
“For those who like the
Aramaic: you can go to the Peshitta, and you will find the Ruach ha Kodesh/the
Holy Spirit - translated as a female being - a “SHE”.
Here in Romiyah 8:16 the text
of the Aramaic Peshitta and the older, less corrupted Old Syriac reads “And SHE
the Spirit (Ruach) gives testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of
Alohiym.”
“In the Hebrew Tanakh the
Spirit is always female and in the Greek New
Testament - either male or neuter, which
creates a PROBLEM!”
English has three genders,
masculine, feminine and neuter (ie she, he, it)
In Scripture - our biggest
problems is generations not bringing right teachings through to the next
generations! We wouldn’t have the
problems we do...
Hebrew and Aramaic have no
neuter gender.
In Hebrew and Aramaic
everything is either “he” or “she” - and nothing is an “it”.
The Hebrew word Ruach
(Aramaic Rucha) is grammatically feminine just as the phrase Ruach ha Kodesh
is.
The pronouns used for the
Ruach haKodesh in John 14-16 in the Peshitta have all been monked with!
They’re all masculine!
IS 66:12 he describes the HS how she takes Zion upon
her lap... like a mother...
So the gender of the HS has
been revised...
and it has affected the culture and when the nations are
under such influence of demonic
oppression...
When the nations are being
oppressed - it is the Holy Spirit that is going to guide and convict us... the HS - she
will guide you and keep you... make decisions that will save your very life...
In John 14, 15 and 16 - have
all been monked with ...
Both the Peshitta and the Old
Syriac have “he” in John 16:8
but the Old Syriac has “she”
just a few verses further down in 16:13 while the Peshitta has “he”.
But then the monks missed a
spot on another passage in which the Peshitta pairs the Ruach haKodesh with the
feminine verbs and/or feminine modifiers.
Mark 1:10
John 1:32-33; 6:63; 7:39
Acts 8:29, 39; 16:17
Romans 8:9-11, 16, 26a, 26b
I Corinthian 3:16
I Tim 4:1
I Peter 1:11; 4:14
I John 5:6
The Holy Spirit is a living
conscious being, the manifested power of
YHUH - not a mystical figure way off - but a living conscious being... the
manifest power of YHUH.
She leads us, guides us,
instructs us and teaches us in the way of all truth, John 14:26, Luke 12:12
She actually shows
personality, so she understand (Romans 8:27 specifically in the Aramaic)
She wills (Acts 13:2, I
Corinthians 12:11 specifically in the
Aramaic)
She can be grieved (Ephesians
4:30 Aramaic)
The Tanakh teaches us that
the Holy Spirit is feminine
Numbers 11:25 p 116
“And YHUH came down in a
cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Ruach that was upon him, and gave it
to the seventy zechanim: and it came to pass, that, when the Ruach rested upon
them, they prophesied, and did not cease.”
From the empowerment and
speaking in tongues found in Numbers 11:25 (Parashah B’haalotcha) when the Holy Spirit was taken off of Moshe and put on the 70 elders and they prophesied = (naba - poured forth words of praising,
edification, prophecy and songs of divine power, sometimes in a language
unknown to the speaker/ tongues)
Interestingly Parashah
B’haalotcha is read immediately following Shavuot on the traditional annual
cycle.
Now you have the whole family
- Father Mother and Son... this is the gospel message...
This fits with Brad Scott’s -
house, family, and a piece of land.
Matthew says - Her name is
Sophia / Chochmah / Wisdom
In the Septuagint = sophia -
a translation of the Hebrew “Wisdom”
But I just can’t call the
Holy Spirit sophia.
Now, another thing - this is
NOT talking about The Shack!!!
~~
Mishli/Proverbs 8:1-7 “Does
not Sophia cry aloud....”
So the Holy Spirit is going to draw
you by calling you with her voice and then stand in the narrow road that leads
to life...and few shall find it - beside the gates of
the city...
John 5:6 “Ruach /she is
all truth”
John 16:13 “when she Ruach of
truth has come she will lead you in all truth.”
Romans 8:2 “The Ruach of
truth is the Ruach of Life”
There’s nothing masculine
about it - is there!
Mishle (Proverbs) 8 p 553
Many a christian theologian
has attributed Proverbs 8 to Jesus!
but it is not about
Jesus!
But that is how common
christian theologians have attributed it because they don’t understand it is
talking about the Mother - the female Ruach haKodesh....
We go back to the first
letter of the Torah - get your house in order...
you are the binai YHUH -
-then get your house in
order...
or follow the gods of the
nations..then YHUH will disinherit you and he will not let you into his land
and he will not let you into his house...
But if you are a follower -
then come into his house... He will spit you out if you play both
fields...
Matthew said, “We’ve made it so bloody
complicated - but really it is about coming home to your father's house...”
Proverbs 8:22-36 (not about
Messiah - but about Holy Spirit)
- because - you can't go directly to the father with out the spirit
through the son.
Proverbs 9:1-3 “Chochmah has built her bayit; she has cut
out its seven pillars; she has killed her beasts; she has mingled her wine; she
has also furnished her shulchan. She has
sent forth her young women: she utters upon the highest places of the city.”
The LXX and the Hebrew words
are fully feminine, the English is NOT.
“Sophia” in the biblical
creation was the breath or ruach of YHUH.
She is not a new age goddess
- but this is real, biblical understanding the text.
in fact there is more
material in the Old Testament before the American bible society threw out all the wisdom
books in 1867.
She has more material written
on her in Old Testament - except for YHUH, Job, Moses, and David ... aside from that it is
all about Sophia/wisdom.
One of the reasons we skip of
the name Sophia - is that the English writes/translates it as Wisdom...but this word is definitely feminine, look in the Apocrypha.
Proverbs 8:27 when YHUH set the
heavens in place, I was present...
she is the breath and spirit
of YHUH
She serves at the heart of
the creative process, as Wisdom and as Teacher
who was sent by YHUH to draw humanity toYHUH like a mother.
The Holy Spirit convicts you to walk in purity.
The book of Wisdom speaks of
Her divinity. (7:25-26)
Look at the spirits that are
on the nations. they are alive and real
- living alohiym... manifest fallen spirits/gods that are at work upon people
and upon nations.
We have to be a people that
are filled with the Holy Spirit because she is the breath and the power of YHUH.
She’s the breath of YHUH’s
power and a stream of pure glory of YHUH.
This is why nothing polluted enters Her.
She mirrors YHUH’s energy
completely, and She images YHUH’s goodness.
Creation: Chava/eve was taken out of Adam ---
following the image of YHUH just as the Holy Spirit/Chochmah was taken
out of the Father in heaven. A basar echad - a one flesh.
If we were made in YHUH’s
image, then man was made in the Image of the SON and woman was made in the
image of WHO? - the Holy Spirit!
male and female - besar echad
YHUH created the family unit
(Bet first letter / bayit / house) and the family unit is a reflection of Him
Male, Female bringing forth a Son who begets many children. The binah YHUH.
How could Adam leave his
parents and cleave to his wife if he was created from a single parent
structure?
Let us make man in our image
Eph 5:30 “For we are members of His body, of His flesh
and of His bones. 31 For this cause shall
a man cleave his abba and eema, and sh all be joined to his wife, and the two
shall be basar-echad. 32 This is a great sod: but i speak concerning the
Moshiach and the Yisra’elite congregation.
A mystery!”
We must be born of water and
The Spirit; we must enter into the womb
of the Holy Spirit and be born again!
that is the great mystery!
To call on Moshiach causes us
to receive her - The Holy Spirit and
then at that point we are sealed in her womb where YHUH plants His seed
in us, the seed is then germinated by the washing of the Word; we’re conceived of the water and the Ruach
(John 5:25) germination.
that is the mystery of Eph
5:30 - the born again experience and how that really happens.. a whole
germinating process - and by their fruit you shall know them... if you open the
fruit and there is no seed - they are not of Him!
This is the mysteries of
Messiah, He left his Father and Mother to cleave to His wife which is His
priesthood. That is the mystery right
there and the profundity is just outstanding!
this Holy Spirit experience is so
powerful.
we must understand the
differences of conversion and being filled with the HS.
Mark 5:1 - the man at the
gadarenes...
that makes no sense...it says Yahusha was going to
the gadarenes and a man possessed by demons ... they found him with chains but
then it says they couldn't bind him!.... (contradiction) because he had often been
bound... (?)
this is telling the
difference between oppression and possession
could be bound if oppressed
but when possessed - nobody
could bind him.
people walking in demonic are
always oppressed ...
and at times they react and
are possessed
if possessed - only fasting
and prayer
this like the difference
between conversion - when we
meet Holy Spirit and the mother draws us because we’ve accepted her son and she draws us
into the house to get ready by washing of Word - to meet father...but you don’t meet father on
day one because you are not ready.
now diff between born again
and being filled with Ruach haKodesh..
Exodus 28:3
foundational text...
filled = malay = to fill or overflow, to
accomplish/ a divine appointing
acts 13:52 disciples were
everywhere filled with joy and with Holy Spirit...
so there is a time where as
believers , once we come into the faith - and are converted - the Holy Spirit is always
with us.
the counterfeit is the
demonically filled
but at times when we draw
close we can have a malay - a filling and
overflowing that no one can touch us - that is the anointing you and i need in
the last days-
she can strike your enemies
blind... and literally get you through the road block...
the impossible made possible
The things that come with the filling and overflowing the malay (Ma-Lay)/Ruach HaKodesh
1. You
must be in YHUH’s sovereign will
2. Wisdom
she will give you wisdom, knowledge, understanding in
your creative skills for your calling in body of Messiah
3. You
will have spirit of Elijah put on you for reconciliation of nations in these
days
4. The
HolySpirit/that filling will lead you in a powerful communication of the Word and
accurate prophecy... speaking and communicating the Word and will of YHUH
5. Sophia, she will give you chesed /grace that
draws you into the house to learn about the house manner of the Father.. not
grace to lawlessness...
6. Sophia
will lead you in visions, inspired dreams and visions and prophecies especially
those with gray hair of these last days.
7. Sophia
will empower uneducated and untrained men like myself to preach the gospel with
boldness!
8. She
will lead to an echad a plurality oneness of unity within the truth in body of
messiah.
9. She
will lead you to place all material good s in common apostolic control of body
of messiah - having all wealth in common.
10. She will bring healing to the sick and those
that have infirmities.
11. She
will prompt the neophyte to get immersed/baptized - new believers will want to
get baptized.
12. She
will impart the power to render the infidel blind.
13. She
will fill you with joy - where HS is there is a joy!
14. She
leads to thanksgiving praise and worship in spiritual son.
15. Holy Spirit will lead to mutual submission of wives to husbands and husbands to the love
and care of their wives.
Yoel 2:28 and it shall come
to pass - I will pour out my Ruach... and ...
hizeione “visions” - put in an ecstatic state to
receive divine communication
YHUH wants to show us our calling..
do not put on the wisdom of
men - that will fail you
listen to hidden wisdom - sod
chukim - the natural man won’t
understand what you and I are saying - they don’t get it... no concept - because they are so entrenched in carnality!
Sophia will instruct the
minds of YHUH’s children... allow YHUH to bring to light the hidden things of
darkness in our lives... to bring to light the hidden things of darkness in our
lives - that is the greatest work of Ruach haKodesh
