Patriarchinity Chapter 13: MetaTemple
by Chris Jacob Schaefer ©2013
Can believers be priests? Since there are very specific requirements for a Lewite priest to be in the presence of YHWH, how can believers be in the presence of YHWH in the world to come. What is Ruach HaQadosh’s role in all of this?
In order to even begin to get an understanding of this mystery, it is crucial to examine the…

Two Ways of Dealing With an Insubordinate Wife
Chris Schaefer ©2010
Before we examine the two ways of handling an insubordinate wife, we must first ask a question:
Did Yahusha Contradict His Father regarding divorce?
Matt 5:31-32 (NKJV)
32 "But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery
Matt 19:9-10 (NKJV)
9 And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except…

Patriarchinity Appendix #1: Echad, Khad, and Yachid Usage
© Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer 2009
Study of Echad in Beresheeth/Genesis
Rationale: Since the issue is what
echad means when referring to Elohim, and since in Beresheeth/Genesis the word
echad is used to describe people, places, and things, but
not Elohim, that should give us a more statistically pure concept of just how
echad is generally used,…

Rethinking the Hexagram
Chris Schaefer ©2010
Up till now, i have seen much research from others showing the occultic and satanic connections to the hexagram, and so had been very skeptical of any validity of the hexagram for actually representing the Commonwealth of faithful Yisrael. My change of mind came when a friend gave the following analogy:…

Patriarchinity Chapter 12: Covering vs. Cover-ups
by Chris Jacob Schaefer ©2009
Up till now, much of this book has focused upon the identity of the Ruach HaQodesh. Why? She is perhaps the most mysterious Divine Being, and yet most often misunderstood. While it does not necessarily prevent someone from becoming a believer, misunderstandings of Who the Divine Elohim is (and are) can hinder us from the intimacy that we as priestly families…

Understanding “El Shaddai” (in 3 easy steps)
© Chris Jacob Schaefer 2009
This fascinating title,
El Shaddai (
Al Shaddee), is really a double entendre of sorts. What? There’s wordplay in Ancient Hebrew? Absolutely. Its meaning is dependent upon the
context in which it is found--especially with the meanings of
shad vs.
shaddahee seeming very different from one another.

El… Continue

Using The Compound Lens of Pronoun Usage, Population Counting, and Proxy II
by Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
A quick review: this book so far has pointed out 6 reasons for the Femininity of the Ruach HaQodesh
1. both sexes of humans are in the image of Elohim,
2.
Ruach is a feminine noun, accompanied mostly by feminine verbs,
3. the Ruach’s feminine actions are birthing and bearing,
4. She’s described…

Divine Kind vs. "The God-Man"
By Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
What is the essence of Yehoshua? How did His earthly form as a little baby come to be? From those two questions comes forth a third: what are the implications for born-agian believers?
Before we get started, let’s examine the varied beliefs of Christianity regarding these matters. [To avoid blasphemy, I’ll be using the westernized mis-transliterations…

Patriarchinity Chapter 5 Proxy vs. Confusion
By Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
Since it is clear that there is a there is eternal Super-ordination and Subordination within Elohim, let’s see how this can be further understood in terms of:
Who does what for Whom? and
Who gets credit for what is done?
First some definitions.
Proxy: authority or power to act on behalf of the super-odinate one. (the super-ordinate one grants this position to the…

Patriarchinity Chapter 4 Superordination & Subordination vs. Co-equality
By Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
The Greeks had their pagan “trinity” of Hecate: mother, maiden, crone; and the Celts had a pagan "trinity" of Brigit (the three “mothers" as represented by the three moon phases and the shamrock). Certainly we don’t want to fall into the trap of paganism in any way shape or form.
Yet many facets of Christianity will openly state that the Father, Son and…

Patriarchinity Chapter 6: Derived vs. Created
By Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
Could it be that the image of humans gives us some hint or shadow about the nature of Elohim? First Elohim created Adahm, then Chawa was made from Ahdahm, and then after that point Chawa brought forth children.
Beresheeth /Genesis1:26-28
26 And Elohim said, "Let
Us make man in
Our image,
after
Our likeness:
and let them have dominion over…

Chapter 3: Echad-ness vs. Multiple Personality Disorder

An opening question: Which of the following makes more sense: To comprehend the order of Elohim by perceiving those who were made in Elohim’s image; or to attempt comprehension by imposing a mental illness upon Deity?
Before proceeding any further, some definitions are needed.
Echad =
Compound Unity.

Patriarchinity Chapter 2: Who vs. It
By Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
Before getting started, there is the distinction that needs to be made between Qodesh (Kodesh) and Kadosh. While the general meaning for both words is the basically the same (set apart, distinct, etc.) , the application is different. While Kadosh refers to objects or sometimes lesser beings, Qodesh
always refers to living being(s) or more specifically, Divine Being(s).
An additional…

Patriarchinity Preface
Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
There is a lot of confusion and disagreement over what exactly is the true nature of the “Godhead.” This has been a point of contention in centuries past and it remains a dividing issue even now.
In my own journey of faith, I was drawn to the Messianic movement that had recently gained momentum in the late 1990’s. The Messianic movement consisted of a motley assortment of believers-- all who were questioning…

Patriarchinity Chapter 1: Elohim vs. God
By Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
In thousands of places throughout the mainstream bibles, the generic term “
God” is used for the Creator. But where did this word “
God” come from? What does it sound like to the Hebraic ear? There is a verse that marks a very clear distinction.
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 65:11
11 But you are they that forsake YHWH,
that forget My kadosh (set apart) mountain,
that…

Patriarchinity Chapter 11: Verifying Witnesses
by Chris Jacob (Yaacov) Schaefer ©2009
The first century believers in Yehoshua, were called Nazarenes (technicaly Notsarim/Netsarim), consisting of Hebrew believers in Yehoshua, but also non-Hebrew believers who practiced the same faith as their Nazarene Hebrew brothers and sisters . There were three groups which were at odds with the Nazarenes, (to varying degrees): The Judaic religious establishment, the Ebionites, and…
