ELAHIM - The Hebrew Word used in Genesis 1:1 for 'God.'
Interestingly, ELAHIM, bears traits in Hebrew grammar that make it plural. Does that mean that ELAHIM is a group of heavenly beings that descended from Heaven and created man? No! ELAHIM is plural because of this very reason:
[1Jo 5:7 KJV] 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
I verified during a Bible study with a Jewish woman named Orit that the following verse is accurate when it presents the plural possessive pronoun 'our.'
[Gen 1:26 KJV] 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
It threw her for a loop because she does not believe in the divinity of The Messiah. We had many Bible studies and spent hours discussing the subject, to the point that I have many verses committed to memory solely to evangelize this one point that I questioned for years: The Messiah and The Incomprehensible God are One entity. Her only refuting for the following verse was that John's Gospel must be flawed, which she didn't want to admit completely.. nonetheless, it, along with the other many verses that talk of the subject, are always shocking to those raised in the Jewish community, even after learning that "Yeshua/Jesus" was really The Messiah.
[Jhn 10:30 KJV] 30 I and [my] Father are one.
We left Orit and Israel with a promise to return. She never admitted that Messiah and ELAHIM are One, but she has all the tools to find The Truth.
[Pro 30:4 KJV] 4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Though manifesting in The Spirit as YAHUAH and The Flesh as YAHUSHA Imanuel The Messiah, The Messiah, once ascended back from death, even into Heaven, became loosed from the bands of time, space, and matter. We now communicate through The Spirit of The Messiah directly to The Father on His Throne in Heaven with The Messiah at His Right Hand through prayer. May our works and seeds and fruits reflect The Love He has sown in our lives through The Promise He purchased for us on the cross. The entire creation is about Him. His Mercy is made new every morning. Seek repentance; be encouraged by His Victory and The Promise of The Crown of Life
