Framework of Messianic Studies
Some ground rules to establish a solid framework for study.
- When studying in Lamed Messianic Studies, this framework should be referenced as an established groundwork governing studies.
- If something is not quite like you remember it before, then some learning and growing has more than likely taken place here.
- This actually has become a living document as things are discovered as unchanging truths.
- These truths can be defined and nailed down by scripture or truly common understanding.
- Truths (which are unchanging) are added to this list or help to define the list.
Basic Vocabulary
- YHWH - Tetragrammation, The four Consonants that were used as placeholders for the vowel sounds that create the name of the Most High.
- Yahwah in Aramaic. As many studies as possible will come from the standpoint of Aramaic primacy based on the Eastern Aramaic Peshitta writings which have proven to be more accurate and reliable than the Western Aramaic Peshitto Codex.
- Yahweh in Hebrew and sometimes referred to as G-D [1] though this reference is slowly falling out of use by YHWH-Fearers as it seems to be rooted in the Gawd Ba'al of Mitzraim (Egypt) and therefore is an allusion to a false deity based on vocabulary alone.
- Elohim - Also El - basic reference for YHWH, the Created Beings and Messengers, Heaven, Heavenly, anything above the Earth. The 'im makes it plural, thereby giving the idea and persona that YHWH is all, in all, and Creator of all.
- Adonai - Master - basic reference for YHWH and His appointed Melakh Yahwah (Messenger of YHWH) sent to take human consistency and given all power and authority of YHWH the Father (Abba, Source) for the purpose of being the most perfect blood atonement sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins (Torah-Breaking) in the flesh thereby to redeem the spirit man out of condemnation for going against the perfect Law of Truth and existing in a state of condition outside of the bounds of the corpus of the Law since man is without payment himself being only able to die once and therefore forever existing in a sinful state unless someone goes in the place of man before man and man accepts that sacrifice himself.
- Sh'ma - Shema - Hear with the understanding that it is something to be processed and then acted upon. Hear, so as to do.
- H'Shem - HaShem - The Name, Referring to the Name of YHWH so as to not mar His Name in usage.
- Echad - Ekhad - (Hard, gutteral "h") - One, Unity
- Malakh - Messenger - Not Angel as this is a bad Latin translation for the intent and function of the described entity.
Concerning HaShem
- Adonai our Elohim is One Elohim and there is no Other as was the teaching of Elohim to the Hebrews was that He was One Elohim (Shema Prayer from Deut. 6:4)..
- The world and man was created by one Elohim (Gen. 3:22, Jam. 2:19)
- The Trinity Doctrine is an outright blasphemous attempt by man to explain HaShem (The Name) as described in Gen. 3:22, I Cor. 8:6, Gal. 3:20, and I Tim. 2:5; it is rooted in Bavel (Babylon) and the worship of Asher the sun god along with his two sons thereby creating the groundwork for the trinity doctrine devising three beings seen as one ruling entity. Please do not just take my word for it - go research it yourself and see what you find. It is pretty messed up.
- HaShem (The Name) is YHWH (Yahwah in Aramaic, Yahweh in Hebrew) Yahwah Ekhad (One) as Elohim being all things Heavenly or Emanating out of the presence of YHWH being YHWH Abba (Source or Father, also El); Malakh YHWH (Messenger of YHWH) the Salvation of Man as: YHWH, it is He Who Saves (Yehoshuah); and YHWH living in the Temple of Man as the Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit The Holy [Separated, Set Apart] [Presence of YHWH abiding in Torah His Word] who brings to remembrance His Word onto the mind of the soul of man (John 14:16-18).
- YHWH as Echad, can convict the conscience of man bringing him to repentance to turn him back to YHWH. This means he will then accept the Salvation of YHWH who came as the Malakh YHWH (Messenger of YHWH) in full flesh separate from YHWH the Source and lower than YHWH Abba and sacrificed Himself on the Earth as payment in the place of mankind. Having sanctified man, HaShem by presence can then abide in man as a reminder of Himself and His Way through man and his struggles to become more like YHWH by the Torah living in man carving itself into the flesh of man by the works of man rooted in that Torah thereby circumcising the heart of man in the spirit; which is the reason that Y'shua (Yeshuah, Salvation) had to go to the "Father" or Source before coming again as the Spirit of Holiness (Torah, Separation, Set Apartness). This had to be done because the man had to be cleansed and sanctified first as a temple of YHWH before the habitation of the Spirit of YHWH in man could take place - YHWH cannot abide in the presence of sin (non-Torah-keepers) which results in being separated from man by the rebellion of man to which there is now left no more sacrifice Heb. 10:26-31 (Knowledge of Truth).

- HaShem will never bless what He has cursed nor curse what He has blessed.
- Yes, this also means pork - you may bless your food but YHWH has not. But, this also means spiders, falcons, centipedes, etc. Remember that Law thing above and how the righteous do perform righteousness from the heart even though they are saved by grace? This probably means you are also included if you are to be counted among the righteous (YHWH-Fearers, Torah-Keepers) .
- YHWH [1] is a Elohim of Truth and there is no falsehood in Him.
- Whatever He speaks becomes Truth.
- Everything around Truth will conform to Truth and Truth does not change.
