Yahweh Elohim. Discover This Inseparable Relationship
Yahweh Elohim is the Old Testament name attributed to the New Testament Word, who is Jesus Christ. Learn why these names are eternal, not testament specific.
YAHWEH Elohim. These are Biblical Hebrew words we hear all the time. Starting in Genesis 2, Yahweh Elohim are joined together because this inseparable term is part of the foundation for the rest of the Bible story. Understanding this opens or closes the door to real comprehension.
In the last post, we saw that the first part of Yahweh Elohim, YAHVEH refers to the eternity of God. He is the I AM, which, from our point of view in time, corresponds to He was; He is, He will be. This Eternal I AM is called the Word in John 1 and is identified as Jesus Christ.
If you’re reading or hearing this for the first time, I understand that you could be shocked. Be thinking Sam’s lost it, or worse yet, is blaspheming. I hope that’s not the case. I forewarned you that to make progress; you’ll need a clear and open mind. Coupled with a careful study of the Bible supplemented by a powerful additional aid, being able to get a glimpse of what the Biblical Hebrew — not English or whatever your native language is — really says.
For the entirety of Genesis chapter 2, and in particular, for Yahweh Elohim allow me to insist on your openness of mind. I’ll say this upfront. Without openness of mind today you’re out of here. I want you to stay with me, give it a chance to seep in. Allow it to filter through your mind. Last week you got a new piece of the puzzle. This week you’ll get another piece about Yahweh Elohim, and over the next few weeks, you’re going to get even more new pieces. Pieces of which even Bible readers and students are simply unaware. It’s normal that if I threw a few pieces of a car at your feet, you’d wonder, what’s g. If I begin to explain how they fit together, it’ll start to make sense. That’s the kind of outlook I request. Please.
Elohim
