Milah: The Express Word
By
Rabbi Robert O. Miller
“Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?’ No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. (Deuteronomy 30:11-16)”
“Moses writes about the righteousness that is grounded in Torah: ‘The person who does these things will live by them. (Leviticus 18:5)’Moreover, the righteousness grounded in Faith says: ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah down)“or “Who will descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead).” But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, (Deuteronomy 30:12-14)” that is, the Word of Faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth (pledge allegiance), “YahShua is King,” and believe in your heart that Yahweh raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess (pledge allegiance) and are saved. As the Scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame. (Isaiah 28:16 & 45:17)’ For there is no difference between the Jew and the nations—the same Sovereign is Sovereign of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved. (Joel 2:32 see Acts 2:22)’ (Romans 10:5-13)”
The other day Cindy Perry came in to ask if the word translated as “word” in the first chapter of John was the archaic Hebrew word מילה mil·lä’ meaning word, speech, or utterance, from the root מלל mä·lal’ meaning to speak or to say. Familiar with the text, I readily told her that the word used in John 1:1 was the more common Hebrew word דבר dä·var’ meaning to speak with one another, to talk, or to declare, converse, command, or promise. I didn’t give the conversation much thought after that.
Then, this past Tuesday I had to run an errand in the Dallas area. I planned to stop by Dr. James Trimm’s house for a visit. As I was visiting with him and his wife Inga (“Kitty”), we discussed what I had preached on the previous Sabbath. When I got to the passage in Romans the 10th chapter his ears perked up and he said let me show you something. He said there was an interesting “notarikon” in the chapter.
A “notarikon” נוטריקון is an acronym of Hebrew words forming a Word of Power packed with meaning. He said look at the passage:
מִי יַעֲלֶה לֶנִוֹ הַשָּׁמָיְמָה
hashama’imah lenu a’aleh Mee
“Who will ascend into heaven?”
Now in Deuteronomy 30 the object we’re discussing “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” “it” is the Torah. However, in Romans 10 the object Rabbi Sha’ul is talking about is King Messiah YahShua: “Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah down).” Is there an obvious contradiction in the text? In a word, “No!”
“In the past Yahweh spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, and through Whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of Yahweh’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven. (Hebrews 1:1-4)”
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. He was with Elohim in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made… The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only,Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth… No one has ever seen Yahweh, but the One and Only begotten Son,Who is at the Father’s side, has made Him known. (John 1:1-3, 14, 18)
Dr. Trimm said, “Notice the first letters of each word in the phrase, “Who will ascend into Heaven?” מילה it spells out the word mil·lä’ meaning the “expressed word of Yahweh.” Then if you take the last letter of each word it spells out יהוה Yahweh. In other words, this phrase is a “notarikon” telling us, the “Expressed Word of Yahweh” – the Torah bel Pey – the spoken Word of Yahweh is absolutely personified by King Messiah YahShua, “The Word became flesh.”
That is why you cannot separate the Torah from Messiah YahShua – they are one in the same.
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Naviim (Prophets). I did not come to destroy but to fulfil.For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one yod (smallest letter in the AlephBet) or one taug (accent marks above the letters) will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Rabbis of the Torah and Parushim (Pharisees – separated ones), you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:17-20)”
“But the path of the just is like the shining light, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; they do not know what makes them stumble. (Proverbs 4:18, 19)”
Rebbe YahShua said, “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Naviim (Prophets). I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.” The Greek word καταλύω “kä-tä-lü’-ō” interpreted here as “abolish” was a term used to describe an interpretation that was not correct or subversive. In Hebrew it’s the word הָפֵר “Hafayr” from the root חלף “khä·laf’” meaning to substitute, alter, or change. But the Greek word πληρόω “plā-ro’-ō” interpreted here as “fulfil” was used to describe a proper interpretation of the Scripture, to render the full meaning. Or, as it says in the Hebrew מַלְּאֹת “male’ot” to expressly speak the Torah and the Prophets. This word coincides with the Hebrew word בשר “bä·sar’” which means full message or meaning. He is warning us “I have come to fulfil the Torah,” “but do not even think that by fulfilling it, I am thereby abolishing it.”
אל תחשבו כי באתי להפר את התורה או את דברי הנביאים לא באתי להפר כי אם למלאת׃
but (directive “I”) to abolish not the Prophets or the Torah to abolish coming that you think Don’t
to express them rather
מַלְּאֹת “male’ot” is another variation of that word again מילה , the “expressed word.” OK, I get it, Messiah YahShua is the Living Torah, the very expression of Yahweh in thought, word, deed and person.
Woe to the teacher that abolished Torah! Those who are held responsible are accountable to Yahweh who appointed them for rightly dividing the Word of Truth. “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. (James 3:1)”
“For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one yod (smallest letter in the AlephBet) or one taug (accent marks above the letters) will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.” Rebbe YahShua is saying not even the slightest stroke of a pen or the smallest letter of the AlephBet will be nullified.
By promoting the blasphemous idea of the abolition of the Torah or that it is somehow optional, these Constantinian Libertarians are taking away the very teachings that fuel Shekinah – the Holy Light – even the very fuel of Messiah YahShua’s Light.
“In the beginning was the Torah, and the Torah was with Elohim, and the Torah was Elohim.He was in the beginning with Elohim.All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1:1-5)”
The Torah condemns those that heed these false Libertarian teacher’s doctrines to darkness that causes them to be ignorant of their constant stumbling at the Truth. When the light of the Torah is removed all that remains is gross darkness.
“Behold, the days come, saith the Sovereign Yahweh, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh (Torah): and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Yahweh, and shall not find it. (Amos 8:11, 12)”
“Arise, shine; for your light has come! (Messiah) And the glory of Yahweh is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth (Lack of Torah), and deep darkness (spiritual shame) the people; but Yahweh will arise over you (True Israel), and His glory will be seen upon you (Covenant keeper). The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. (Isaiah 60:1-3)”
By teaching the Torah is abolished these blasphemers are ministering ETERNAL DARKNESS!
“Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. (Jeremiah 12:9-11)”
As we seek the True Light of Torah, Rebbe YahShua provides the means by which our fleshly weakness can be overcome and our transgressions of Torah be forgiven as we continue our walk of sanctification continually seeking the greater illumination of the Secrets of Torah in our lives.
“For they being ignorant of Yahweh’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of Yahweh. For Messiah is the goal of the Torah for righteousness to every one that believeth. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Torah, that the man which doeth those things shall live by them. (Romans 10:3-5)”
It is through Messiah that we are able to strive to live by the instructions & teachings – Torah – of our Creator – Yahweh.
“Centuries of Christian Anti-Semitism, Anti-Hebraic, and Anti-Torah replacement theology has resulted in a religion that promotes darkness and rebellion against Yahweh by ignoring, replacing, or discarding His instructions to mankind. The Christian belief that the Torah has been abolished would have been viewed as ridiculous and wicked by King Messiah YahShua and his Talmidim (Disciples). This kind of theology is in direct opposition to the teachings of the man who Christians claim is their Christ. “The rejection of the Law by Christianity, therefore, was a departure from its Christ.” (Jewish Encyclopaedia, ed. Isidore Singer New York and London: Funk and Wagnalls, 1903, Vol.V.,p. 52)”
Messiah Is the End of the Torah?
“Messiah is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. (Romans 10:4)’
This as a passage is one of the most misunderstood scriptures in the Messianic text and one of those that Rabbi Kepha warns us that have been twisted.
“…our dear brother Rabbi Sha’ul also wrote you with the wisdom that Yahweh gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. (2 Peter 3:14-16)”
The King James and New International Version translates this passage as “Christ is the end of the law”. Dr. Trimm noted: “The Aramaic word used for “end” here is סְכָּה SAKA …in 1893 when James Murdock S.T.D. (a Christian) translated the Aramaic Peshitta into English for the first time, he translated this word as “aim”. He noted the original Aramaic word in the margin and further defined it “end, scope, summary”. This Aramaic word is used in the Rabbinic literature to mean “number” “sum” or “total”.
In the Babylonian Talmud this word is used as follows “…the SUM of pupils for a teacher in the primary class is twenty five” (b.Bat. 21a) The root verb for this Aramaic noun means “to calculate, count, sum up” or “to look out for, to hope for”.
כִּי תַסְכָּת הַתּוֹרָה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ לִצְדָקָה לְכָל־הַמַּאֲמִין בּוֹ׃
in him the believers everyone the righteousness the Messiah He is the Torah the goal For
Rabbi Sha’ul isn’t saying that Messiah abolished the Torah but rather he is the “sum” of all of its parts. The Messiah IS the TORAH totally!
“Moses writes about the righteousness that is grounded in Torah: ‘The person who does these things will live by them. (Leviticus 18:5)’” Since Messiah is the Torah, Moses says life comes from the Torah.
“Moreover, the righteousness grounded in Faith says: ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah down)“or “Who will descend into the deep? (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead).” But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, (Deuteronomy 30:12-14)” that is, the Word of Faith we are proclaiming.” Christian theologians, down through the last 1,700 years have used Romans 10:5 “righteousness grounded in Torah” and pitted it against Romans 10:6 “righteousness grounded in Faith” to prove that “Christ is the ‘end/termination’ of the law” as stated in Romans 10:4.
Remember what Rabbi Kepha said, Rabbi Sha’ul’s “letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” As we have seen from the Hebrew that the word translated “end” should be more correctly translate that Messiah is the goal and sum of the Torah.
These “ignorant and unstable” theologians are banking that you won’t notice that they are quoting passages from the Torah to prove their anti-law position. They are totally twisting and distorting the Torah “as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.”
In Acts 17:11 we are introduced to the Bereans who “were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Rabbi Sha’ul said was true.” At that time, the only Scripture they had were the Torah, the Prophets (Navi’im) and the Holy Writing (Katuvim) making up the TaNaKh or what the world calls the Old Testament. So, they were checking Rabbi Sha’ul’s teaching to see if he was applying the words
accurately as they are in the Tanakh.
Rabbi Sha’ul was quoting from this Torah passage: “Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?’ No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. (Deuteronomy 30:11-16)”
In Deuteronomy 30:12-13 it is the Torah that we do not have to have brought down to us, but in Rabbi Sha’ul’s teaching in Romans 10:6-7 it is the “Messiah” who does not have to be brought down to us. Rabbi Sha’ul is proving from Torah that Messiah is the sum total of the Torah from Romans 10:4 reaffirming that the correct understanding of SAKA in Romans 10:4 is goal or sum not end of the Torah.
Christianity throws up its hands at the Torah and says this is too hard, we don’t want to do it, so they look for a passage of Scripture they can twist and distort to get the position they want, but they’ve selected the wrong Scripture because just a superficial look at this Scripture shows its real meaning. Rabbi Sha’ul says “the answer is near to you, to your mouth, and to your heart, which is the word of trust that we proclaim” (Romans 10:8) Deuteronomy Says “But the WORD is very near unto you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it” (Deuteronomy 30:14). So the “answer” and the “Word of Faith” in Romans 10:8 is the “word” in Deuteronomy 30:14, but in Deuteronomy 30:14 that “word” is CLEARLY the Torah! In other words Romans 10:8 should be translated “the TORAH is near to you, to your mouth, and to your heart, which is the TORAH of Faith that we proclaim”. The Torah is Messiah and when we teach Torah we are teaching Messiah which proclamation is the Word of Faith – “what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you!”.
That why Rabbi Sha’ul quotes both Deuteronomy 30:15-16 and Leviticus 18:5. Not to contrasting them, but because they teach the same thing! There’s life in the Torah! The Word is the life and light of men.
“Who will ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah down)” is actually quoting Deuteronomy 30:12. We showed that this is a “notarikon,” which is a Word of Power that spells the Hebrew word הלימ MILAH, which means “express word” telling us that King Messiah YahShua is the “express Word of Yahweh.” Remember the sign that you will live this Torah is called ברית מילה Brit Milah –circumcision.
“The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, (Deuteronomy 30:12-14)” that is, the Word of Faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth (pledge allegiance), “YahShua is King,” and believe in your heart that Yahweh raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess (pledge allegiance) and are saved. As the Scripture says, ‘Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame. (Isaiah 28:16)’ For there is no difference between the Jew and the nations—the same Sovereign is Sovereign of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved. (Joel 2:32 see Acts 2:22)’ (Romans 10:6-13)”
Can you see it? The Express Word was in the “Beginning.” The Express Word was with Yahweh. The Express Word was Yahweh. The Express Word was made Flesh. The Express Word reveals Yahweh. The Messiah is the sum total of the Express Word – the Torah bel Pey – the very Torah from Yahweh’s mouth. And the Express Word is the light and life of men. The Torah brings life.
“Moses writes about the righteousness that is grounded in Torah: ‘The person who does these things will live by them. (Leviticus 18:5)’”
“See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.”
“… if you confess with your mouth (pledge allegiance), “YahShua is King,” and believe in your heart that Yahweh raised him from the dead, you will be saved…”
Dr. Trimm points out that “I should add that [Rabbi Sha’ul] is clearly writing this letter in Aramaic. In Aramaic “life” and “salvation” are the same ambiguous word, but in both Hebrew and Greek “life” and “salvation” are different words.” Remember John 1 says that Messiah YahShua – the Word – is the life and light of men, or salvation and life.
So, when the Scripture says, “…you are to give Him the name YahShua,because He will save His people from their sins. (Matthew 1:21)” He is bringing the resurrection life to dead Israel.
And when YahShua says, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)” He is saying, “I am come to save you to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25).”
Rabbi Sha’ul is hammering home that: Messiah and Torah are one; salvation and life are one; the name of YahShua and the name of Yahweh are one, and thus Messiah is the express image of Yahweh. As Messiah Yahshua said, “I and the Father are one. (John 10:30)”
The Torah says that the Word “is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.” (Deuteronomy 30:11) that “you have to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?’ No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.”
The TaNaKh says: “‘Hear the Word of Yahweh… Come now, let us reason together,’ says Yahweh. ‘Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken. (Isaiah 1:10, 18-20)”
“Many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the Mountain of Yahweh, to the House of the Elohim of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.’ The Torah will go out from Zion, the Word of Yahweh from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:3)”
And Rabbi Yochannan (John), who gave the revelation of John 1 further tells us at the Coming of Messiah: “I saw Heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, Whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on His head are many crowns. He has a name written on Him that no one knows but He Himself. He is dressed in a talit dipped in blood, and His name is the Word of Yahweh. (Revelation 19:11-13)”
At His coming YahShua’s name is changed: “In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: Yahweh Tzediknu (Yahweh Our Righteousness). (Jeremiah 23:6)” From YahShua – Yahweh is my salvation, to Yahweh Tzediknu – Yahweh is our righteousness.
In the Targums the authoritative Aramaic paraphrases of the books of the TaNaKh designed to witness to the nations surrounding Israel. We see where there are two or more Yahwehs indicated in the text, the Targums will substitute “The Word of Yahweh” for Yahweh as we see in Genesis 19:24.
The Torah says: “And Yahweh rained brimstone and fire upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, from Yahweh, from the heavens.”
But Targum Jonathan paraphrases: “And the Word of the Yahweh caused to descend upon the peoples of Sodom and Gommorah, brimstone and fire from the Yahweh in heaven.”
In another example the Torah (Exodus 24:1) says: “And [Yahweh] said unto Moses, Come up unto Yahweh…”
The Targum Jonathan paraphrases: “And the Word of Yahweh spoke all these glorious words, ‘Come up to Yahweh’…”
According to Targumists, this Word of Yahweh was the same Word that Abraham trusted in: “And Abraham worshipped and prayed in the name of the Word of Yahweh, and said, ‘You are Yahweh who does see, but You cannot be seen.’ (Jerusalem Targum Gen. 22:14)”
So, it was always understood that if there were two Yahwehs spoken of in one passage that passage was speaking of the Adam Kadmon – the Express Image of Yahweh – who is the Express Word of Yahweh.
“Your throne, O Elohim, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of Your Kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore Elohim, your Elohim, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy. (Psalms 45:6, 7)”
It is through His Word that Yahweh creates:
“In the beginning was the Torah, and the Torah was with Elohim, and the Torah was Elohim.He was in the beginning with Elohim.All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
That the Express Word of Yahweh is the Creative Power can also be seen in the TaNaKh: “By the Word of Yahweh were the Heavens made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth. (Psalm 33:6)”
The Express Word of Yahweh is the covenant maker: “So Elohim said to Noah, ‘This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.’ (Genesis 9:17)”
The Targum says of this exact verse: “And I will establish my covenant between My Word and between you (Targum Onkelos Genesis 17:7).”
The Torah says concerning the “Ten Commandments,” “And Elohim spoke all these words. (Exodus 20:1)” However, the Jerusalem Targum makes the Torah giver “the Word of
Yahweh” in Ex. 20:1.
The Torah says: “I look for your salvation, O Yahweh. (Genesis 49:18)”
The Targum says: “My soul does not wait for salvation such as that wrought by Gideon ben Joash, for that was but temporal; neither for a salvation like that of Samson, which was only transitory; but for that salvation which You have promised to come, through Your Word unto Your people, the children of Israel; for your salvation my soul hopes.” (Targum Jonathan Gen. 49:18)
The Torah – Word of Yahweh – is the Savior of our souls: “But Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting… But in Yahweh all the descendants of Israel will be found righteous and will exult. (Isaiah 45:17; 25)”
The Targum says: “But Israel shall be saved by the Word of Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. By the Word of Yahweh shall all the seed of Israel be justified. (Targum Jonathan Is. 45:17, 25)”
And Rabbi Sha’ul cites this passage and has it refer to those that trust in YahShua: “Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.”
The TaNaKh says: “Yet I will show love to the House of Judah; and I will save them—not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but by Yahweh their Elohim. (Hosea 1:7)”
The Targum says: “But I will have mercy upon the House of Judah, and I will save them
by the Word of Yahweh, their Elohim. (Targum Jonathan Hosea 1:7)”
The Rabbis understood that this personified “Word of Yahweh” was in essence the “begotten” of the Father: “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? (Proverbs 30:4)” There is the “notarikon” again.
All of this confirms what Rabbi Sha’ul was teaching: Messiah is the sum total of the Torah; The Torah gives life; The Messiah gives life/salvation; and The name of Yahweh gives life/salvation.
The true Messianic teaching of Romans 10 is that Messiah is the Word of Yahweh, the living Torah incarnate, and as such is the source of life/salvation, not apart from the Torah, but through his role as the Torah, and is therefore the very “name of Yahweh” which saves us when we call upon it – YAHSHUA.
יהשוה

Originally written by Rabbi Robert O. Miller on August 5th 2007
(Robert Owen Miller 1957-2021)
From the editor (James Trimm): In the fourteen years that have passed since Rob Miller first wrote this material in 2007, several key discoveries have been made. First of all, a manuscript containing the Hebrew of Yochanan 1:1-13 has come to light (you can see the text in interlinear by clicking here), and the word for “Word” is indeed דבר not מילה resolving that question. (This does not subtract from Rob’s article, because these two words are near synonyms). Secondly, in a recently published blog, I have given reasons for believing that the original word for “fulfill” in Matthew 5:17-18 was קים rather than מלא or מילה and that the word for destroy was בטל. For the record, Rob was quoting the Delitzsch Hebrew translation of the NT.
Finally I should explain Rob’s spelling of Yahshua as יהשוה which is not the “correct” spelling, but a special Kabbalistic spelling that involves inserting ש from “Shaddai” into the middle of the tetragrammaton יהוה thus producing יהשוה
