| (11) Ru 1:21 I went out full , and the LORD hath brought me home again empty : why then call ye me Naomi , seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty (Shadday) hath afflicted me?
.. seeing the LORD YAHWEH hath testified against me, and the Shadday hath afflicted me..
Notice again at least two members of the Godhead are described here?
(12) Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth : therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty (Shadday) :
..happy is the man whom the Father "Ellowaah" correcteth : therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Shadday :
Using poetry parallel theories of faith one could equate Father = Shadday, and using Job 33:3 with poetry parallels
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Using poetry parallel theories of faith one could equate Father = Shadday, and using Job 33:3 with poetry parallels we could equate :-
Father = Shadday = Holy Spirit = One numerical member of GOD...Adding to this perhaps a member Son of GOD, we have only two members within the Godhead.
The problem with poetry parallels is the insistence to make two ways of saying something the same idea. What is better with poetry is to say these two ideas are similes of each other.
The Father is a simile of the Shadday. One way to make this work is to equate them both as Family parents. The Father disciplies, the Mother chastens.
In other similes we see the Shadday as a person, while the Holy Spirit is a medium "wind" allowing the Father and the Son to communicate through the Holy Spirit.
(13) Job 6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty (Shadday) are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit : the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
For the arrows of the Shadday are within me, the terrors of the Father "Ellowaah" array against me.
A poetry parallel showing the Shadday functions are similes of the Father functions. They act as parents.
(14) Job 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend ; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty (Shadday) . {is afflicted: Heb. melteth}
.. but he forsaketh the fear of the Shadday.
(15) Job 8:3 Doth God "el" pervert judgment ? or doth the Almighty (Shadday) pervert justice ?
Doth Strong Authority pervert judgment ? or doth the Shadday pervert justice?
This poetry parallel makes the single member of the Godhead, a simile of the Shadday. While the Strong Authority is not named, we can see the Shadday is made a simile to this, suggesting the Shadday is a single member of the Godhead, an inteligent co-eternal Being.
(16) Job 8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes , and make thy supplication to the Almighty (Shadday) ;
.. and make thy supplication to the Shadday ;
Notice supplications and prayers pass via the Shadday..who is also the Holy Spirit in another dual form.
(17) Job 11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God ? canst thou find out the Almighty (Shadday) unto perfection ?
Canst thou by searching find out Father "Ellowaah" ? canst thou find out the Shadday unto perfection ?
Another poetry parallel suggesting the Father and the Shadday have similes of function. When we seek the Shadday through the medium of the Holy Spirit, we are also communicating directly to the Father.
(18) Job 13:3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty (Shadday) , and I desire to reason with God .
Surely I would speak to the Shadday , and I desire to reason with the Strong Authority.
You can talk to the Shadday and pray to the Shadday, for the Medium of the Holy Spirit takes your words and your prayers to Jesus or the Father for further processing.
(19) Job 15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God , and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty (Shadday) .
.., and strengtheneth himself against the Shadday.
(20) Job 21:15 What is the Almighty (Shadday) , that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
What is the Shadday , that we should serve him? and what profit we have if we pray unto him?
Puzzled by the pronoun "him" when it should be "her"? Perhaps the medium takes on the pronoun of the communicator (Father or Son)? Or is the Hebrew translated poorly?
