DIE SEUN VAN DIE MENS

Sou Elohiem werklik by die mense op die aarde woon?  Die hemel, ja die hoogste hemel kan U nie bevat nie.  (2 Kron. 6:18)

Die Woord het vlees geword en het onder ons gewoon – en ons het Sy heerlikheid aanskou, ‘n heerlikheid soos van die Eniggeborene wat van die Vader kom – vol van genade en waarheid.  (Joh. 1:14)

Die verborgenheid van die godsaligheid is groot:  Elohiem is geopenbaar in die vlees.  (1 Tim. 3:16)

(Elohiem … het) … in hierdie laaste dae tot ons gespreek deur die Seun wat Hy as erfgenaam van alles aangestel het, deur wie Hy ook die wêreld gemaak het.  Hy wat die afskynsel is van Sy heerlikheid en die afdruksel van Sy wese en alle dinge dra deur die woord van Sy krag, nadat Hy deur Homself die reiniging van ons sondes bewerk het, het gaan sit aan die regterhand van die Majesteit in die hoogte, want  … Hy het gesê:  “U is my Seun, vandag het Ek U gegenereer, en weer:  Ek sal vir Hom ‘n Vader wees en Hy sal vir My ‘n Seun wees …  (Heb. 1:1 – 3, 5)

Emmanuel … Elohiem met ons.   (Matt. 1:25)

Wat die apostel Johannes verklaar het in Joh. 1 is fundamenteel vir ons geloof.  Hy het gesê dat die Woord “vlees geword het” (vers 14), maar dat diè Woord  ook Elohiem was (vers 1).  

Dit is ‘n groot misterie dat Elohiem as die Seun ‘n “mens” moes word terwyl Hy tog Elohiem is, maar hoekom was Sy inkarnasie nodig?

THE SON OF MAN

But will Elohim really dwell on earth with men?  The heavens, even the highest heavens cannot contain You.   (2 Chron. 6:18)

The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, a glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.   (John 1:14)

… the mystery of godliness is great:  Elohim was revealed in the flesh …  (1 Tim. 3:16)

(Elohim … has) … spoken to us in these last days through the Son whom He appointed heir of all things, through Whom He also made the world.  He who is the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, … He said: “You are my Son, this day have I begotten You, and again:  I will be to Him a Father and He will be to Me a Son…   (Heb. 1:1 – 3, 5)

Immanuel … Elohim with us.   (Matt. 1:23)

What the apostle John declared in Joh. 1 is fundamental to our faith. He said that the Word “became flesh” (verse 14), but that this Word was also Elohim (verse 1).

It is a great mystery that Elohim as the Son had to become a “man” when He is Elohim after all, but why was His incarnation necessary?

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE SECOND ABOVE THE FIRST

Most of us would agree that there are two births for man, namely a physical birth and a spiritual birth.

Why couldn’t we just have been born spiritually together with our physical birth? If there had not been a Fall, it would have been like this.  With the Fall, the spiritual died, therefore the spiritual in a person must be born again.  That’s an important fact.  

The whole issue of rebirth is the exercise of this spiritual law, namely that the physical is temporary and perishes, while the spiritual is eternal.  The big problem is that the physical comes first, just as a baby must first be born physically before it can be born spiritually.

Natural resources cannot fulfill spiritual needs.  What is of the first Adam is not of much help if we want to live the life of the last Adam.

Now the question is:  do you have the second, or do you only have the first?  Do you live from the physical or do you live from the spiritual?  Are you really born again and did you experience after that the baptising of infilling of the Spirit?  We call it Spiritual fulfillment.  One can also have had it and lost it again.

To be reborn and saved is to be “washed clean”.  Then, after that, we are ”to be clothed” with the Spirit of YaHUsha.

EERSTEVRUGTE

In die O.T. is die Fees van Eerstevrugte gehou op die dag ná die weeklikse sabbat (wat in die dae ná die Pasga gekom het, Levitikus 23:15).  Die eerstevrugte van die garsoes het ryp geword tydens die tyd van die Pasga (Eksodus 9:31).

Die priester sou die gerf gars voor JaHUaH wuif om dit aan Hom voor te hou as die Eersteling van die gars as graanoes (Lev 23:10 – 15).  Die volk was nie toegelaat om enige van hierdie nuwe opbrengs van die gars te eet voordat diè eerste gerf nie eers vir JaHUaH aangebied is nie.

FIRSTFRUITS

In the Old Testament, the Feast of Firstfruits was kept the day after the weekly sabbath (which came in the days after Passover, Leviticus 23:15).  

The Firstfruits of the barley harvest ripened at the time of Passover (Exodus 9:31).

The priest would wave (Lev 23:10-15) the sheaf of barley before YHWH, presenting it to Him as the Firstfruits of the barley grain harvest.  The people were not allowed to eat any of this new barley grain until it had been first presented to YHWH

THE FEASTS – YAHUAH’S PLAN FOR REDEMPTION

The feasts represent YaHUaH’s plan of redemption for mankind.  With the feasts we can follow the Plan of Salvation from the Stake for the cleansing of our sins, to the Resurrection life and the filling with His Set Apart Spirit, followed by the long road of proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of Heaven to all nations (Mark 1:14 – 16, Matt. 28:8 – 20), up to the gathering of the harvest with the Return of YaHUsha, which on the other side also involves the pouring out of His wrath (Rev. 11:18, Rev. 14:8 – 11, Matt. 25:31 – 46).

DIE FEESTE – JAHUAH SE VERLOSSINGSPLAN

Die Feeste verteenwoordig die raadsplan van JaHUaH vir die mensdom.  Hierin kan ons die verlossingsplan volg vanaf die folterpaal en die reiniging van ons sondes, na die opstandingslewe en die vervulling met die Afgesonderde Gees, gevolg deur die lang pad van die verkondiging van die goeie nuus van die Koninkryk van die Hemel aan al die nasies (Mark. 1:14 – 16, Matt. 28:8 – 20), tot by die insameling van die oes met die wederkoms van JaHUsha die Gesalfde, wat aan die anderkant ook die uitstorting van Sy toorn behels (Open. 11:18, Open. 14:8 – 11, Matt. 25:31 – 46).

PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL TORAH

I never could understand, coming into the Hebrew Root movement, why it is that the books of Paul (Sha’ul) in some way is ”for the” Torah and in some way also “against the Torah”.

Some people may twist scripture in such a way to fit their belief system, or even discard some scripture, but I really needed to understand truth, otherwise I am just back where I started off in the beginning.

I was reading my Word one morning when I came across this seemingly straightforward peace of word, but I found something very profound in this which Paul (Sha’ul) is trying to explain.

FISIESE EN GEESTELIKE TORAH

Nadat ek in die Hebreeuse Wortels-beweging gekom het, kon ek nooit verstaan het waarom die boeke van Paulus (Sha’ul) op ‘n manier “vir” die Torah is, en op ‘n ander manier dan weer “teen” die Torah is nie.

Sommiges sou dan die Skrif op so ‘n wyse verdraai dat dit sou inpas by dit wat hulle geloofsisteem was, of aan die anderkant sou mense selfs net van Skrifgedeeltes ontslae geraak het asof dit nie bestaan nie.

Tog het ek ‘n ernstige behoefte gehad om die waarheid te kan verstaan, anders sou ek net weer terug wees waar ek begin het.

Ek het toe een oggend in die Woord gelees en toe op eenvoudige verse afgekom wat nie moeilik is om te verstaan nie, maar ek het iets daarin gevind wat diepliggend was.
