CD 13 27:22
Creation
has been going on - and now we come to the climax of creation - the creation of
“man”...
B’re’shiyt
1:26
“And
God 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 the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the
earth.”
Vay-yo’mer
Alohiym na’she ‘adam b’tsal’menu kid’meutenu. V’yirdu vid’gat hay-yam uv’oph
hash-shamayim uvab-b’hemah uv’kal ha’aretz uv’kal – harems haromes ‘al – ha’ aretz, na’seh.
Word
for word:
“And
said Let us make man in our image,
according to our likeness. Let
them rule over fish of seas and the birds of the heavens and over
the cattle and over all the earth and over all creepers creeping on the
earth.”
At
this point- spirit/soul - in image of YHUH = and no bodies yet the ones he
created....
Na’seh
(the
last word) = let us make
-
the
prefix “N” makes it plural
-
aseh
= to make
-
make
is in verse 26 and CREATE in verse 27
The various theories of “Let us make”:
1.Trinity - ECAD= a unity / a union of things makes a
oneness (The only way to get “trinity” out of this is to insert it!
2. The angels - Yah is referring to self and the
angels.
3.
Plurality
re. Majesty - the King speaking for the entire kingdom would say “we
believe”... like I say “we” in Life Fit.
But we also know that he created “them”
with him...
= the majestic declaration of something
that is going to take place in the
earth!
4. Animals – blood
5. God
and the angels
The ONLY thing
created in the image of YHUH - not the ground.
B’tsal’menu = tzad- lamed- mem =
Root = Tselem; to shade, to cover, shadow
: image, form
- Modern Hebrew word for photograph
- After B’re’shiyt 9:6, every occurrence of
this word is “idols”
Discuss
B’re’shiyt 5:3
The
only entity created in Alohiym’s image is Adam/ “MAN” / mankind.
Hasatan will seek to destroy the image, since
the image is to reflect and represent Alohiym,
IE
- good things of Yah.... Father, mother, goodness, kindness, meekness, etc...
....Hasatan changes the image of
things....twists what Yah intends to be awesome into a mess in our world.
Messiah had to come to earth in the image of man.... because man is
the only thing that Yah made IN His image!
Only
an obedient child can reflect and maintain the image of God/Alohiym.
His
image is blurred and perverted when His own children fail to imitate Him.
Only you are the image of Alohiym. Only those who obey Yah
can reflect that image!
In
Greek:
-eidolon (GK) – idols
Acts 7:11; Romans 2:22; 2 Corinthians 6:16
- Eikon (Gk) Romans 1:23, 8:29; I Corinthians 11:7; 2 Corinthians 4:4, Colossians 1:15; Hitgalut 13: 14-15
- Tupos (Gk)
- Ma’sey hashSh’liyechiym 7:43-44; Titus 2:7; Ivrim 8:5; I Kefa 5:3
Skip Moen =
“Tselem =
masculine noun (image) = about transferred
authority and order, over what destroys.
= desire (need) authority
(control) and chaos. To be in YHUH’s image and likeness is to desire to control
or have authority over chaos.
– This reflects the Prime
Directive to be fruitful and multiply.
We are like YHUH in our derived authority because we are
designed to bring life ordering actions in the house, but our authority is
limited - (we are not YHUH).”
Kid’mutenu:
dalet – mem- tav
root =d’mut-damah: to be like, copy
likeness, similitude, to be like
D’mut pictograph = path,
chaos, nail, seal
- B’reshiyt 5:3, Yesha’yahu 14:14, 40:18; Y’chezqel 1:13;
Daniy-y’el 3:25 (Chaldean) 10:6;
shir-haShirim 2:9
Greek :
-eidos (Gk) – Luke 3:22; 2 Corinthians 5:7
-homolos (Gk) – Mattityahu 13:31; Acts
17:29; I Yochanan 3:2
Skip Moen =
“Demut” = feminine noun (likeness) = often compares dis-similar
things. Focus is on the similarity in
actions, not in essence.
Humans are not miniature gods… but they are capable of ACTING in
ways similar to YHUH, when they walk according to the pathway that secures
life. With the prefix and suffix =
“Follow the path that secures a covenant of guaranteed life over chaos.”
Let me remind you what we learned from Skip Moen:
“Being Human = acting according to YHUH’s path to life. Standing against chaos. Participating in a covenant guarantee. Knowing what is permitted and what is not,
AND acting accordingly. Any behavior
that denies, negates, or rejects these goals is not human behavior and creatures
that exhibit non-human behavior are not creatures that exhibit YHUH’s image. Human being is manifest by ACTING as YHUH
would act, being the reflected image of the Alohiym who creates, sustains and
brings about order.”
Daniel 3:25
Page 65 in study guide
V’yir’du = resh-dalet-hey
Root
= radah: dominate, rule, reign, dominion.
- To “rule” like over
conquered enemy. Not abusive rule, but rule that understands
“It will turn against you if you do not rule over it.”
Let
them, ie, male and female (MANKIND)
“God
designed the “man” to consist of the male and female”.... the balance of 2 that
makes echad - the perfect unity.
Male and female are designed to rule
together = echad
Male
with female = usually quick and harsh/ not compassionate, they balance each
other .
Woman tends to compassion.
After
these verses, (“the fall”) this word –
RADAH – is never used of animal life again.
B’midbar 24:19 = rule as in conquer
Mizmor 110:2, 49:15 = “ruling over the enemy or it will turn against
you”
Y’chez’q’el (Ezekiel) 29:15 rule as if they were an enemy
To
dominate or to rule - mashal:
In
the New Testament –
no
comparable word in Greek that distinguishes between “mashal” and “radah” so in Greek it covers both meanings - ruling
as a servant to serve = king/ dominating rule over conquered enemies.
“Mashal” = to rule as a servant ; rule
over a kingdom.
Used as a servant / to serve the
King, and dominating rule over
conquering .
“Archon” (GK) = over fish =
believers being born of water and spirit.
= HEAD OF
Mark 10:42
Matthew 9:18 “ruler”
John 3:1 “ruler”
-There is a constant interchange of
singular to plural in the creation text concerning man.
- this could also be a reference to
the plural use of “us”.
Vid’gat
–
resh gimel hay
Dagah – “to quickly multiply” , or grow.
- Swarmers swarming - reference to teaming/ “kazillion”.
= Fish – Yah’s desire is believers quickly
multiply. Noah’s flood = no mention of the fish. (Brad thinks all the fish died.)
- Dagah – also relates to “corn” – dagon =
fish god of
Philistines
- Baptism and the water/ fish and water/
believers and water
- B’re’shiyt 48:16 – “let them grow”
- Habakkuk 1:14; Y’chezq’el 47:9-12
- (Gk) icthus – Mattityahu 47:9-12, 13:47-51
- Fish saved to swallon Yonah
- Fish represents believers, picture of them
being spared
-
2Kefa
3:5-13 - fish being spared...
-
Why
were fish spared in the flood? Or were they?
(Brad thinks they died)
In the future -
knowing that all fish / believers will be spared... all scholars believe that Yah’s people are
spared ... wether you believe in rapture or not....
those who believe
in Yah will be spared - Yah deliberately leaves out the death of the fish...
****
So
“image” - Tselem (masculine) and D’mut (feminine ) are given authority - to be
a human being - to walk in Yah’s instructions and Do YHUH’s things... / behaviors.... and to NOT do this is not to be human.
AND
we as people are given authority and instruction in how to do this...
Authority
over chaos....
Many
times in life i have looked at this idea of having authority and it was like...
if anyone some where needed any kind of deliverance I could speak to those
things....
But
what if this is about authority over the things that are chaos in my life ..you
know, the lies that I believe, and the unforgiveness that I hang on to...
see,
I can say - wow... it feels pretty forsaken here... but what if when I stand
before YHUH I wonder why things were so hard.... what if He looks and me and says... my child,
you had the authority all along to rid your life of the painful chaos.... and you didn’t... why didn’t you follow my
instructions? I told you how to be
free.
So
we have authority over chaos.... hmmmm
The
way we think....
Yesterday I went
to a CE training - about “Trauma Informed Care”...
My eyes were
opened more....
Recently I read
“The Leipzig Connection” about the
changing of education in America....
About how it was
decided that during or right after World War One - the education in America
would be dumbed down... on a continual and ongoing basis!
I sat there
yesterday and listened to the trauma that kids deal with. Not to minimize this awful stuff - because
you know I am all about recognizing the painful stuff.... and yes it is awful
and yes children need help with this - just as those who grew up with it and
are now adults....
But that
said.... what I heard was :
-how awful - absolutely
true. no argument there
and how bad it is and stats...
But they just read over a list
of what to do instead.... to “help” except for explaining three things a bit
more...
1.
being in the moment...
2.
guided
imagery
both of which I am okay with to a point...
YHUH gave us
imagination
and there I sat
- in the moment, listening to the teaching...knitting to my heart’s content -
focusing on my knitting stitches and what they were saying...not worrying about
tomorrow stuff or mulling over past stuff...just right there happy to be
knitting and listening...
and let me also
say that I have encouraged my high jumpers to “see” themselves doing their
approach before they do it... etc....
that is how we are made that our bodies can’t tell if we imagine doing
it right or practice is perfectly - they help the same....
BUT both of
these things are also doorways - that some have used to let hasatan in... through guided imagery that is about me
leaving my body and other things (that are things that are messed up)....and
about me picturing things like me leaving my body etc....
what I am saying
is - they can be used for evil.... and if I am the student being taught they are
ALL good - then I am going to leave the door open for anything.
AND
they also talked
mostly about ‘time out”
Children need
time out.
My sister will
tell you that kids in her day=treatment class - work like this... if one kid is
going off - you want that kid out of the class ASAP because there is a great
likelihood that he will trigger everyone else in the class....
so give them a
time out to help them calm down so they
don’t get in more trouble and so they don’t trigger everyone else.
But I wrote on
the evaluation - These are the people that are going to need being in my
office....you know.. because they are 20 and have a job and the employer won’t
allow time outs.... etc.....
Time outs fix it
for the teacher and maybe for the kid in the moment... but not for the child
long term.
That child is
not going to be better off in their 20’s because they sat in time out......
3 types of
trauma
a.
things absent that were needed
b.
things
added that were NOT needed
c.
rumination
on a negative thought
C. causes the same
bio chemical - physiological changes etc... as A. and B...... the same... and
if C. can be healed based on changing your thinking.... THEN why can’t A and B injury be healed the
same way?
I think it
can.... but that is not just sitting in time out.
It can’t be
about time out and reward....
What is more...
the clinical world is way okay with the need to forgive... so throw in we can forgive.... and teach that to students.... the door is
wide open for healing!
and these things
can help the - then 20 year old KEEP his job!
Romans 12:2 p 848
“And be not
conformed to this olam hazeh: but be
transformed by
the ongoing
renewing of your mind, that you may discern what is that tov, acceptable, and
even the perfect, will of YHUH.”

Let’s consider
how we think... Okay well that sounds easy enough...
but then let’s
look at Shaul and what he says...

should do - he doesn’t always do.... he
knows what he should do....!
So the brain...
or mind....

anxious, closed
(Job 17:3–4) p 574
evil, restless (Ecclesiastes 2:21–23) p 596

a corrupt mind (2
Timothy 3:8) p 907
“Now as Yannes
and Yambres opposed Moshe, so do these also resist the emet: people of corrupt
minds, far from the emunah.”
So How do we
live?

4:6-8
p 891
6”Be anxious for
nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanks let your
requests be made known to YHUH.
7 And the
shalom of YHUH, which passes all binah (understanding,)
shall keep your hearts and minds through Moshiach Yahusha.
8 Finally,
Yisra’elite brothers, whatever things are emet, whatever things are honest,

shamayim and earth to record this yom against you, that I have set before you
chayim and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose chayim, that both you and your zera may live:
20 That you may
love YHUH your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave to
Him for He is your life and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which YHUH
swore to your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitzchak, and to Yaakov, to give them.

“For though we
are walking in the world/flesh, we do not war according to the world/flesh:
4 For the
weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through our God to the pulling down of strongholds;
5 Casting down
imaginations, and every high human matter that exalts itself against the da’at
of YHUH, taking captive every thought to
be obedient to Moshiach;”
Philippians 4:8 p 891
“Finally,
