The Word of Elohim Has Substance
Continued from Part 2
"Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your Melek (King) is coming to you" (Mt.21:5a, NASB).
"Say to the daugher of Zion, Lo (behold), your Yeshecha (Salvation = Yah'shua/Jesus) comes" (Is.62:11b, NASB).
The Words of Men Lack Substance
Devarim (words) without substance fall easily from men's lips. But every davar (word) of Elohim (God) is bursting with substance. There are no empty devarim (words) when it comes to Yahweh. But because the devarim (words) of men tend to be empty, they tend not only to view the devarim (words) of one another as being likewise empty, but because they lack emunah (faith) they view the devarim (words) of the Creator in much the same casual fashion. Most religious devarim (words) are as empty as the devarim (words) of unbelievers because vaccuous devarim (words) are the fallen derech (way of the flesh.
The Words of the Prophets are not Empty
That is why most of the devarim (words) of the nevi'im (prophets) tend to be viewed in the same way. They are quite simply viewed as being of equal value to everyone else's and so are ignored or laughed at. But every davar (word) of Yahweh is pregnant, containing substance, and that substance is ruach (spirit), and the ruach (spirit) comes by emunah (faith). Sound disippates - it vanishes - but ruach (spirit) is eternal. That is why the Davar Elohim (Word of God) can never return to Him void - it never returns empty, substanceless or (if it is a prophetic Davar/Word) unfilfilled.
Life in the Word
Each Davar (Word) of our Elohim (God) contains substance, that is to say, chayim (life) and meaning and emet (truth). It is never babble. Yahweh said through the navi (prophet) Yeshayahu (Isaiah) that our Yeshecha (Salvation) was coming to us. That was about 25 centuries ago. And then our Salvation - our Saviour, our Redeemer - came to us 20 centuries ago, the apostle Mattiyahu (Matthew) quoted the same words from Yeshayahu (Isaiah) and changed 'Yeshecha' (Salvation) to Melek (King). How could he do that? Because the substance of Yeshecha is also Melek - the One who is Salvation or Deliverance is Sovereign too - He is King. And that davar (word) Yeshecha contains many other words to, just as the original Davar (Word) that was in the beginning, and was with Elohim (God), and was Elohim (God) (Jn.1:1), contains every other davar emet (word of truth) that ever was or could be. That original Davar (Word) was, and is, and always will be, eternal and infinite - without end.
A Continuous Utterance from Elohim
This means that every Davar Elohim (Word of God) is itself infinite and eternal. It is unuttered, it is uttered and it is continuously being uttered in an unending circle that joins alef to taw, alpha to omega, and A to Z. When a navi (prophet) utters a Davar Elohim (Word of God), that which is unuttered, has been uttered, and is continually uttered - its meaning and substance - is brought into the space-time continuum of mortality and impacts it, sending forth a wave of emet (truth) that issues forth and returns to the sender, passing outwards through space, to be drawn down into the darkness, and then emerges again and rejoins the navi (prophet), returning to Elohim (God) fulfilled or completed.
Man's Word Vanishes
If the davar (word) is of man, when it is spoken, it simply moves out over space and then evapourates, and is forgotten.
The WAY OF THE KING
Two days ago Yahweh spoke to me, saying the following devarim (words), THE WAY OF THE KING, that is to say, the Derech Melek. The Melek (King) is coming because Yeshecha (Salvation) has already come. Kings do not exist without kingdoms, and kingdoms have their laws. The Eternal King has a Kingdom, and the Kingdom has its Laws. When the Melech (King) comes, whose Name is Yeshecha (Salvation), He will know who is in His Kingdom when they proclaim the davar (word) with their lips that He is their Saviour. How will He know? He will see what Derech (Way) they are on and by what Law they walk. He will examine the walk, not the talk. Religious people know how to talk, but spiritual people know how to walk. One wags the tongue, the other moves the feet.
The King is Coming to Deliver Judgment
The King is Coming, not for the final time, but for the penultimate time, to deliver Judgment. The time has arrived, and it has arrived for the nations, for kindreds, for tongues, and for peoples. The King is coming and the Judgment is being executed, and will come to a climax, at the end of the days of teshuvah (repentance). He comes not for the salvation of the nations but for their judgment. It is the time when He goes through the accounts to see if the devarim (words) match the walk. And if they don't, He will level those who speak with dark hearts and deeds, even if their words appeared to be light.
Get onto the Road to the Tree of Life
You must now get onto the Derech Melak (Way of the King) or burn up in the desert. The Derech Melek (Way of the King) must be the only thing that interests you, the only thing you pursue, the only place your heart is drawn to, the only place your feet lead you to. Nothing else matters. It is the Derech (Way) that leads to the Eytz Chayim (Tree of Life) which the cherubim with the flaming sword blocked Adam and Eve's access to (Gen.3:24), as it still does today to those who are in rebellion as our first parents were.
Dark Thoughts and Feelings
If death haunts you, then you have been denied access to the Eytz Chayim (Tree of Life). If you have dark thoughts, if your heart is bitter or angry and unrepentant, then the fruit of that Eytz (Tree) is not in your mouth. Then you are outside Eden, outside Paradise, outside the Kingdom, and are unprotected and unnourished in your soul.
Make Teshuvah
Yah'shua (Jesus) is the only Derech (Way) back to Paradise. You have to acknowledged Him as Saviour, Deliverer, Master and King. And if you have done so in davar (word), then you must match that davar (word) in very deed. You must submit to His Rule, which is His Law, His Torah. It must govern your thinking, your feelings and your actions. When you turn from the world and from the master of this world, returning to Kingdom fellowship, that is making teshuvah (repenting). No other human can do that for you - it is between you and your Elohim (God) alone.
Now is the Time
If you have never followed Him or known Him, but intend to seriously know Him, now is the time to do so, and take His hand as He leads you onto that Derech (Way):
"As for [Yahweh's] intention, who could have learnt it, had [He] not granted Hochmah (Wisdom), and sent [His] Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) from above?" (Wis.Solomon 9:17, JB).
Experience the Living Word
The world is full of empty devarim (words) without substance, but now you may receive and experience the Living Davar (Word), and have your sins washed away (Ac.22:16) through emunah (faith) in His Name - in His Character and Substance, His Chayim (Life) and Living. Sin no more (Jn.8:11), stop making excuses (Jn.15:22), and go to the One who is without sin (Jn.8:7). Be cleansed, renewed and transformed, and escape the judgment of the nations.
"And it will come about that whoever calls upon the Name of Yahweh will be delivered...for there will be those who escape, and Yahweh has said, even whom Yahweh calls" (Joel:2:32, NASB).
The Call
He is calling you now.
