Time moved so quickly in our last class that I wanted to make certain that you received the full message regarding the essential elements of GOD’s Fire…. I hope this helps you review the presentation thoroughly.

GOD BLESS…

The Message Begins with The aleph

The Hebrew aleph is the First letter in the Hebrew Alphabet and the first letter in the Name of GOD, Elohim.

אלהים

The aleph is composed of 2 Hebrew letters; 1 vav and 2 yods. The Hebrew Letter vav is at the center. It is drawn in a slant representing the division between the upper waters and the lower waters… the upper firmament and the lower firmament.

The letter yod rests on either side. On the right, the yod emerges from the stem of the vav and reaches up toward the Heavens. On the left, the yod emerges from the stem of the vav and reaches down into the earth.

On every level, the aleph points to a picture of our relationship with GOD.

The letter vav is the 6th letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. It represents the nail that connects. In Ancient Paleo Hebrew, the vav took its shape from the tent peg, i.e., the hook that held down the sides of the tent. Across time, in man’s desire to make writing more efficient, the vav was formed from the framework of the image of its left side.

The first appearance of the vav in the torah can be found in Genesis 1:1, where the vav connects with the aleph-tav, Yeshua (Rev 1:8, 22:13, etc).

Being that the vav is the 6th letter of the alphabet, it is associated with man/mankind by virtue of the parallels and connections that the vav has with man in scripture; man creation on the sixth day, man works for six days, man as the finished work of GOD on the sixth day, etc.

The number six and the letter vav are connected to the works of man. The most dominant meaning that they contain are of their connection and relationship with GOD. Whether it is for good or for evil. With this point in mind, the vav, i.e. man, either connects to the image of GOD or the image of the beast (the flesh). There’s a choice to be made.

When you look at the aleph, I want you to see the image of the yod, the humblest of all the letters which represents mankind, the vav, in their responsibility to pull down the Heavens… to pull the Anointing down into the earth realm.

The Letter shin

…is the 21st letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. It represents the menorah, fire and transformation.

The letter shin connects us back to the shabbat, the light, and the All Consuming Fire of GOD.

GOD’s language places the letters aleph and shin together to spell, aysh meaning FIRE!

The LORD is an All Consuming Fire!

“And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire (aysh): and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” Exodus 19:18

“And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire (aysh) out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” Exodus 3:2

 And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire (aysh), to give them light; to go by day and night: Exodus 13:21

 “…And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by fire (aysh), let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.” 1 Kings 18:24

He is the GOD that answers by Fire!

There are a total of 17 times that man is called “ah-dahm” (Strong’s # 121) before we see a shift in terminology.

Ah-dahm is a bit more neutral in terms and would be better understood in scripture had the translators chosen to apply the meaning of, “human or human being.” (I will followup to leave a link down below for a discussion on this matter.)

Nevertheless…

Once ah-dahm takes a wife, GOD elevates him in the Word to the level of an “eesh”, His Highest Creation!

Ah-dahm’s transformation to an “eesh”, does not take place until he takes a wife, an eesh-shah. There are precisely a total of 17 occurrences of the word ah-dahm before his new name, eesh ever appears.

This is an important point to reflect on for a moment…

The number 17 is comprised of the numbers 10 and 7.

10 represents Atonement and 7 represents the shabbat rest, spiritual perfection, wholeness and completion, the Feast Days.

In scripture, the number 17 is connected to victory.

GOD, Our All Consuming Fire, takes a yod, the smallest letter in the Hebrew Alephbet, the symbol of humility, and He places it in the midst His Image and Likeness as Fire… and ah-dahm becomes an eesh.

Following in the context, we see that the one whom GOD calls a man, must possess the character trait of humility in order to stand before the Fire of GOD.

The letter yod represents humility, humbleness, yieldedness. When man/mankind, who is created in the image and likeness of GOD (as an eesh), humbles himself before GOD, He is crowned the “eesh”.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

How then does GOD create an eesh-shah?

The letter hei represents Torah, Revelation, the Breath of GOD, Grace and the Presence of GOD. The number five in Hebrew also represents being filled with the Spirit of GOD.

Look again at verse 23 in Genesis 2. The scripture says, “…because she was taken out of man.” When the letter hei appears at the end of a word, it often expresses the understanding in translation as, “What comes out of…”

Example: When the letter hei is placed at the end of the word ah-dahm, a new word is created, ah-dahm-mah.

ah-dah-mah does not only mean earth, ground or dirt. It carries an expanded meaning of, “What comes out of the ground.”

Likewise, eesh-shah has the extended meaning and understanding of, ‘What comes out of ah-dahm’.

Hebrew is such a meticulous language that not only do the letters convey images, concepts and ideas, etc., into the words they are used to create, the meanings of the words and letters are defined by the Torah itself! One reflects the other.

GOD’s WORD is One.

Now let’s look at MAN and WOMAN, eesh and eesh-shah, side by side!

As you have seen, when man and woman are operating in their place and position in GOD, one carries the yod and the other carries the hei…

The grand design as seen in the letters of their names, eesh and eesh-shah, is that together… they carry the Name of GOD between them.

Now… What if the woman, the eesh-shah does not want to operate in her GOD Given capacity of the hei?

What if the man, the eesh does not want to operate in his anointing of the yod?

Her fire would gravitate to its destructive qualities and devour his ability to operate in the anointing without, coming against her fire turned against him; backlash, retaliation, resentment, trials, or test, etc soon follow.

Or if her mate, became unsuitable for the same reasons and her ability to operate in the anointing was compromised by the destructive fire that would emanate from his rejection and rebellion against his duties and responsibilities in the anointing?

You just have fire consuming fire and destroying everything in its path.

Both are consumed by their own destructive properties of the fire!

EXODUS 20: ¹⁸ And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

¹⁹ And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

²⁰ And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

²¹ And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

Moses understood that GOD is a consuming Fire, as it is said: “For the LORD thy GOD is a Devouring Fire” (Deut 4:24) that it would have been normal for him to have been consumed by the fire.

But Moses knew something else... he understood the prophetic meaning of GOD’s commandment that the fire should be kept burning on the altar continually (Lev 6:13-14). He recognized that GOD was not only speaking of literal and material wood being kept on the fire, but it meant him, as a Man of GOD to never let the Fire of GOD die out in his spirit.

Moses was able to draw near to GOD, when all the others were afraid, because Moses ascended for GOD’s Glory, not for his own.

None of self was in him. All he wanted was the yod – to bring GOD’s Glory down into the Earth.

“Is not My Word like fire, says the LORD” Jeremiah 23:29.

“This tells us that just as fire does not ignite in a lone stick of wood but in a pile of kindling, so too matters of Torah are not retained and understood by a lone scholar who studies by himself, but by a group of Sages.” The Significance of Fire in Judaism by Jessica Zemble

Eesh and eesh-shah received the law that was given them from the midst of the Fire of GOD.

You are fashioned from the Fire of GOD. When GOD named you man, and when he named you woman, He fashioned the very Words from His Fire!

No one can call you Man or Woman without knowingly or unknowingly calling to you, the very substance of which you are embued… The Fire of GOD. What I mean by that is this…. even your enemies are calling you the vessel of the Fire of GOD. So, it really doesn’t matter what your enemies say about you! To speak ill of you, they have to address you as the image and likeness of GOD. Their words can not breakthrough the barrier of fire, His Fire, set round about you!

This is another reason that we should have pity on our enemies and bless those that curse us and pray for those that despitefully use us… They are seriously playing with Fire! Rather than be angry, we should be concerned for their souls! Amen?

In the final analysis, Man and Woman, husband and wife are called to walk together in humility, honor, and power in the Presence of GOD.

Keep the Fire of GOD burning on the altar of your heart, continually…

Never Let The Fire Go Out. Amen.
