| Q37: Welcome to prayer training by Jesus.. Understand the childlike foundations first:-
Consider prayer 33:-
Ps 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright. (KJV)
Let's look at a few Hebrew words here:
Both these last Hebrew words means "straight" according to Jeff Benner, and this is strange we have no different words in English for these two different Hebrew words.
Let's see a little context to make useful differences:-
Ps 32:11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous:
Both words in this poetry parallel, have simile meanings of each other.
Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way,...(KJV)
Here upright is translated "straight" for the "straight road".
Thus both of these Hebrew words mean "straight".
What does our Hebrew English translator say?
� God hath spoken: �Unto the upright there ariseth light in the ... before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do ... " The Great Controversy 1888, p. 346.3
Why does the SOP align Psalm 112:4 and Isaiah 42:!6 together? The Lord is telling her the English translations are similes, even though different Hebrew words are used.
�The path of the upright is the path of peace. It is so plain that the humble, God-fearing man can walk in it without stumbling and without making crooked paths. It is a narrow path; but men of different temperaments can walk side by side if they but follow the Captain of their salvation. Those who wish to carry along all their evil traits and selfish habits cannot walk in this path, for it is too straight and narrow. The Shepherd Calls His Sheep by Name, July 27
It's pretty clear isn't it? The SOP is speaking of Hebrew meanings in English.
Let's put these prayer lines together:
Ps 33:1 Shout before the LORD, O ye Straight: for praise is comely for the straight. (Ancient Hebrew)
Our Father, Let us shout for Jesus,
our relationship becomes Straight when connected to Him,
and our praise for Jesus is straight,
we support Jesus words. Amen Ps 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works (are done) in truth (amamuh) "faith or support" .
Again a fuzzy translation, especially the added words (are done) and ignoring the Hebrew word meaning "faith or support".
If the KJV is correct, than the YHWH here is the Father, who is straight and is faithful.
But if the Hebrew word "amanuh" actually means "support" for all the Hebrew contexts, than this changes the verse context entirely. It strongly tells us the YHWH here is Jesus, who supports His Father.
The Father cannot support Himself, neither can one be faithful to ones-self, whatever faith means?
A better translation is :-
Ps 33:4 For the word of the LORD (YHWH) "Lord-Jesus" is Straight;
His works support.
This makes more sense. Whom does YHWH-Jesus support? His Father-YHWH. How is this support done? By the arrangement of words as the Hebrew word "dabar" means in this context.
The words of the Father are personified by Jesus as the living WORD. In Hebrew this is the "imrah". Prov 30:4,5.
Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD (YHWH) "Lord-Jesus" were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath (ruwach) of his mouth. (KJV)
Again the Father-YHWH cannot be referenced here, because the YHWH speaks the words, and the Holy Spirit empowers the words with power from the Father.
Can the Father create speaking words to Himself, without the Holy Spirit? Obviously not. It would not be love. It would be selfishness.
Is the Holy Spirit a co-creator? No, not in the sense the power is coming directly from the Holy Spirit.
The power flows from the Father via the Holy Spirit, while the Son speaks the words. Thus we have a community effort of creation.
That's what "support" means in the earlier verse. Jesus is supporting His Father. The Holy Spirit is supporting Jesus. The Father is providing the primary power.
This is how family love works, it has a provider, a receiver and a responder. See this translation:-
Ps 33:4 For the word of the LORD (YHWH) "Lord-Jesus" is Straight;
His works support.
Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD (YHWH) "Lord-Jesus" were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath (ruwach) of his mouth. (Ancient Hebrew)
Finally David prays to the whole Family:-
Ps 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God (elohiym) "Divine Family" is the LORD;...(KJV)
Where is Elohiym defined as Family? One Bible text in the NT:
Eph 3:10 ...the manifold wisdom of God (Elohiym) ,
Eph 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Thus the Hebrew word "elohiym" means "Divine Family". Sometimes other secular uses in Judges, the term "elohiym" means "judge family".
So let's look at what this word "Family picture" does to Scripture verses, and all this implies:-
Gen 1:1 In the beginning from the Divine Family,He created the heaven and the earth.
The Hebrew grammar case tells us "masculine singular" is required for "elohiym" to match the verb, so out of the Divine Family must come "He", hence added words "from" and "He".
Gen 1:2 And the Holy Spirit of the Divine Family moved upon the face of the waters.
Nothing added required. The Holy Spirit must be a reference to a member within the Divine Family.
Gen 1:26 And the Divine Family said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
Nothing added required. The correctly translated "our" and "us" refer to members within a Divine Family.
Gen 1:27 So from the Divine Family,He created man in his own image, in the image of the Divine Family created he him; male and female created he them.
The Hebrew grammar case tells us "masculine singular" is required for "elohiym" to match the verb, so out of the Divine Family must come "He", hence added words "from" and "He".
Luke 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord of the Divine Family shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Nothing added required.
Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Father shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of the Divine Family.
Nothing added required. Notice the word "born" tells us two parents are required. The term "overshadow" also confirms two Heavenly Beings are required. This text greatly confirms heavenly parents within the Divine Family.
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in the Divine Family, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Nothing added required.
Eph 3:14 � For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nothing added required.
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Nothing added required. Why don't Churches acknowledge "elohiym is a simile of family" ? Because they wish to stick with a man-made picture called "trinity" in which all three members of GOD are masculine whatever that term means. Hebrew pictures of love do not come an all masculine flavour, there are two Hebrew words for love, and this creates difference in personalities.
16 ThatHe would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Holy Spirit in the inner man;
Nothing added required. Holy Spirit aslo added to this Divine Family picture.
Job 40:1 Moreover the LORD-Jesus answered Job, and said,
Old name for Jesus is here, the YHWH, the He who exists:
2 Shall he that contendeth with the Holy Spirit Shadday instruct him? he that reproveth the Father Eloah, let him answer it?
Jesus is speaking to Job on behalf of the entire Family in heaven, the OLD Names are used Shadday and Eloah.
Job 4:9 By the blast of the Father Eloah they perish, and by the Holy Spirit of his nostrils are they consumed.
Nothing added required.
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom the Father Eloah correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Holy Spirit Shadday:
Nothing added required. Only identifying Eloah and Shadday as OLD names for divine parents.
Job 33:4 The Holy Spirit of Strong Authority hath made me, and the breath of the Shadday hath given me life.
Nothing added required. This text is a parallel, the Holy Spirit is a new name for the Shadday as an older name. They are similes of each other as powers.
Ps 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High (Father) shall abide under the shadow of the Holy Spirit Shadday.
Dwelling under the Shadday is a simile of dwelling under the Father. That is what a shadow does. Nothing is added to the text, only identifying whom is whom.
Ps 91:4 The Father shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings (of the Holy Spirit) shalt thou trust:
Why the Father's wings, not the Holy Spirit's wings? When you make a shadow from two objects, whose is the image from, the first object or the second object? The primary light source causes the shape, hence "His wings".
Hosea 4:19 The Holy Spirit wind hath bound Ephraim up in her wings,..
Nothing added required. Notice the grammar case for ruwach, demands a pronoun "her". This is the only KJV verse that shows this for the Holy Spirit.
Ps 22:1 My Father Strong Authority, my Mother Strong Authority, why hast thou forsaken me?
Nothing added required. Only identfying "el" "el", why it this repeated twice? Because we have two parents in a Divine Family, and for the second death process to work, both have to leave their Son.
Ps 22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the belly: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my Mother's breasts.
Nothing added required. The term "mother's breasts" refers to Mary and the Holy Spirit, it is a poetry figure, pictures refer to both earthly pictures and heavenly pictures.
10 I was cast upon thee from the compassion-centre: thou art my Strong Authority from my Mother's belly.
Nothing added required. The term "el" translated by the KJV as God is correct, and the term "womb" or "belly" a reference to a Divine belly or "womb" whatever these terms mean.
Pr 1:8 My son, hear the instruction of thy Father, and forsake not the teachings of thy Mother:
Nothing added required. The Bible teachings are divided into similes of parents. Why is that? It's a poetry figure for heavenly Parents.
Pr 3:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Notice the poetry figure, earthly pictures are similes of heavenly pictures, even though we see things darkly.
Pr : 13 Happy is the man that findeth mother-wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
The word "mother" is added to "wisdom", because the Holy Spirit is personified as "wisdom", just as Jesus is also personified as the "imrah".
15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Nothing added required.
Pr 3:19 The LORD by mother-wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hathHe established the heavens
Only the word "mother" is added to wisdom. The Holy Spirit expresses femaleness-love, the love that responds to the Father's maleness-love.
Ps 33:6 By the word of the LORD-Jesus were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the Holy Spirit breath of his mouth.
Jesus spoke the words, and Holy Spirit empowered those words into action, using the Father's power. Thus creation and even salvation is a community effort because love is highly relational.
Pr 8:27 WhenHe prepared the heavens, I (mother-wisdom, the Holy Spirit) was there:
Only word "mother" added to wisdom to identify the Holy Spirit
De 32:11 As an eagle (mother eagle simile for Holy Spirit) stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
The eagle is a simile of the power of the Holy Spirit..
12 So the LORD-Jesus alone did lead him,...
What is strange with this picture is while the Holy Spirit and Jesus work together, it says only the Lord Jesus alone did lead Israel? Something strange about Hebrew?
Mt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a bird gathereth her birdlings under her wings, and ye would not!
Here is the NT reference to this OT reference of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, as an eagle caring for her young.
Isa 63:9 In all their affliction Jesus was afflicted, and the messenger of his presence saved them: in his femaleness-love and in his pityHe redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
Notice both Jesus and Holy Spirit is again referenced with Israel... notice "his" "femaleness-love"... Jesus love is providing and the Holy Spirit's love is responding...but Israel is not caught up in this collective love...
10 But they rebelled, and vexed his Holy Spirit:
So Israel rebelled and vexed the Holy Spirit...the agency for Jesus love..
The reader should go through all these texts seeing how little they have been changed, and accept the obvious conclusion regarding the Divine Family in heaven.
Do not be swayed by human invented words like "trinity" .... Elohiym means family power of love, and its really very simple to understand a family, with divine parents. The old names in the Family was Eloah and Shadday.
The new names in the Family are the Father and the Holy Spirit. This implies changes to the functional actions of love, when the Son took up humanity and died for our sin-offering, in the NT.
Next we consider prayer 34.
