Paul’s Message of Wisdom

2 And I, brethren (fellow believers), when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God (Yah / Yahuah / YHWH).

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ (Yahusha HaMashiach) , and him (Him) crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing (attractive) words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God (Yahuah).

Howbeit (Nevertheless,) we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world (demons, fallen angels), that come to nought (nothing):

But we speak the wisdom of God (Yahuah) in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God (Yahuah) ordained before the world unto our glory:

Which none of the princes of this world (demons, fallen angels) knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory (Aḏon (אֲדוֹן) of esteem).

But as it is written, Eye hath (have) not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath (Yahuah has) prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath (Yahuah has) revealed them unto us by his Spirit (Ruach): for the Spirit searcheth (searches) all things, yea (yes), the deep things of God (Yahuah).

11 For what man knoweth (knows) the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth (Yahuah knows) no man, but the Spirit of God (Yahuah).

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God (Yahuah); that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God (Yahuah).

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth (teaches), but which the Holy Ghost teacheth (Holy Spirit teaches); comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth (receives) not the things of the Spirit of God (Yahuah): for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth (judges) all things, yet he himself is judged of no man (however, he is not judged by any individual).

16 For who hath (has) known the mind of the Lord (Adonai), that he (He) may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah; HaMashiach).


OLD TESTAMENT

Psalm 103

Background music:-

A Psalm of David.

103 Bless the Lord (Adonai), O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his (His) holy name.

Bless the the Lord (Adonai), O my soul, and forget not all his (His) benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities (Who forgives all your sins); who healeth (heals) all thy diseases;

Who redeemeth thy (Who redeems Your) life from destruction; who crowneth thee (who crowns you) with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy (Who satisfies your) mouth with good things; so that thy (your) youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

The Lord executeth (Adonai executes) righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

He made known his ways unto Moses, his (His) acts unto the children of Israel.

The Lord (Adonai) is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

He will not always chide (scold, rebuke): neither will he (He) keep his (His) anger for ever.

10 He hath (has) not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities (sins).

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him (Him).

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he (has He) removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth (pities) his children, so the Lord pitieth (Adonai pities) them that fear him (Him).

14 For he knoweth (He knows) our frame; he remembereth (He remembers) that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth (He flourishes).

16 For the wind passeth (passes) over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord (Adonai) is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

18 To such as keep his (His) covenant, and to those that remember his (His) commandments to do them.

19 The Lord hath (Adonai has) prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth (rules) over all.

20 Bless the Lord (Adonai), ye (you) his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto (listening to) the voice of his word.

21 Bless ye (you) the Lord (Adonai), all ye (you) his hosts; ye (you) ministers of his, that do his (His) pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord (Adonai), all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord (Adonai), O my soul.


Psalm 104
King James Version audio with speed control:-

Background music:-

104 Bless the Lord (Adonai), O my soul. O the Lord (Adonai) my God (Yahuah), thou art (You are) very great; thou art (You are) clothed with honour and majesty.

Who coverest thyself (cover yourself) with light as with a garment: who stretchest (stretches) out the heavens like a curtain:

Who layeth (lays) the beams of his chambers (His rooms) in the waters: who maketh (makes) the clouds his chariot: who walketh (walks) upon the wings of the wind:

Who maketh (makes) his (His) angels spirits; his (His) ministers a flaming fire:

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Thou coveredst (You cover) it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

At thy (Your) rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy (Your) thunder they hasted away.

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast (You have) founded for them.

Thou hast (You have) set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth (sends) the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast (animal) of the field: the wild asses (donkeys) quench their thirst.

12 By them shall the fowls (birds) of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

13 He watereth (waters) the hills from his chambers (His rooms): the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth (causes) the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he (He) may bring forth food out of the earth;

15 And wine that maketh (makes) glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth (strengthens) man’s heart.

16 The trees of the Lord (Adonai) are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath (He has) planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth (knows) his going down.

20 Thou makest (You make) darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts (animals) of the forest do creep forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God (Yahuah).

22 The sun ariseth (arises), they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth (goes) forth unto his (His) work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O Lord (Adonai), how manifold are thy (Your) works! in wisdom hast thou (You have) made them all: the earth is full of thy (Your) riches.

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts (animals).

26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan (a large aquatic beast with monstrous ferocity and great power), whom thou hast (You have) made to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee (You); that thou mayest (You may) give them their meat in due season.

28 That thou givest (You give) them they gather: thou openest thine (You open Your) hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy (You hide Your) face, they are troubled: thou takest (You take) away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest (You send) forth thy (Your) spirit, they are created: and thou renewest (You renew) the face of the earth.

31 The glory of the Lord (Adonai) shall endure for ever: the Lord (Adonai) shall rejoice in his (His) works.

32 He looketh (looks) on the earth, and it trembleth (trembles): he toucheth (He touches) the hills, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the Lord (Adonai) as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God (Yahuah) while I have my being.

34 My meditation of him (Him) shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord (Adonai).

35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou (You) the Lord (Adonai), O my soul. Praise ye (you) the Lord (Adonai).

FOOTNOTES

Adonai / Adonay (title) meaning in the Bible

(NOTE: Adonai / Adonay = אֲדֹנָי (H136) – Pronunciation: ah-doe-NIGH = [My] Lord / Master)

scribe meaning in the Bible

(NOTE: scribe = A Jewish learned leader trained to write and teach the Torah, the law of God)


THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: Hebrew text is read from LEFT to RIGHT:-


THE ORGINAL HEBREW NAME OF THE MESSIAH

In Hebrew: מָשִׁיחַ (H4899) = Mashiach (Hebrew) = Messiah (English) / Anointed One (the Savior who saves the sinners for those who believe in Him)

FULL NAME in Hebrew text with ‘The’: יְהוֹשׁוּעַ הַמָשִׁיחַ = Yahushua Ha-Mashiach = Yahushua The Anointed One.

Christos > Χριστός (Greek) transliterated into Christ (English) which means Anointed One 

NOTES:-

1. Yeshua יֵשׁוּעַ (H3442 = He will save) is a shortened form of Yehoshooah / Yahushua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yah saves). EXAMPLE #1: Mike is a shortened form of Michael. EXAMPLE #2: Josh is a shortened form of Joshua.

2. Yehoshooah as spelt in this manner depicts Joshua יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = yeh-ho-SHOO-ah) adds Hosea, יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H1954 = deliver / salvation). Therefore, Yehoshooah / Yahushua means God is Salvation God  / Yah saves.

3. Yahushua as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yah יה / יָהּ (H3050) as in John 5:43).

4. Yahusha as spelt in this manner depicts that the Messiah came in the name of His Father, Yahuah יְהוָֹה (H3068), adds Yasha יָשַׁע (H3467 ) which means ‘Saves’. See the diagram below:-

יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (H3091 = God / Yahuah saves)

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his (His) word abiding in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Matthew 10:8 King James Version (KJV)
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
That if thou shalt (you shall) confess with thy (your) mouth the Lord Jesus (Yahusha), and shalt (shall) believe in thine (your) heart that God hath (Yahuah has) raised him (Him) from the dead, thou shalt (you shall) be saved.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yahusha) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God (Yahuah).

Isaiah 52:6 King James Version (KJV)
“Therefore MY PEOPLE SHALL KNOW MY NAME: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth (He who does) speak: behold, it is I.”
