06.03. The “I AM” Of GOD

The “I AM” Of GOD The Name Of GOD - YHWH (see Exodus 6:3) - is “I AM WHO I AM ... I AM THAT I AM” (see Exodus 3:14, NASB + KJV). On the basis of YHWH’s “I AM” Name and its revelation, the Bible is called a Testament. And, in the fundamental reality of being YHWH’s “I AM” Testament, the Bible is the written Word Of GOD designed to unveil the reality and actuality of GOD!

Given that Scripture is fundamentally YHWH’s Testimony, it necessarily follows that the primary purpose of Scripture is to actually reveal the “I AM” of GOD (see Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3, KJV/NKJV; John 6:51; John 17:6 a; Deuteronomy 6:4-6). In the unveiling of YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony, we will each come to know GOD so as to live by HIM. And, in this process of learning to live by HIM, come alive to loving GOD with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength.

It is significant that the Scriptures address this fulfillment of knowing GOD so as to love HIM, as the Law Of Life (see Deuteronomy 30:6 together with Romans 8:2). These verses tell us that the fulfillment of the Law Of Life is brought about in us - in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Life is an “I AM” dependent reality (see John 14:6). And, the “I AM” of YHWH is exclusively unveiled in CHRIST JESUS (see John 17:6 a,26; Colossians 2:9, KJV), by the HOLY SPIRIT (see John 16:13-15). So we see that Scripture is fundamentally designed to unveil and communicate the realities and actualities of the “I AM” of GOD (see John 17:6 a; 14:12-14), through every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift given (see James 1:17-18), in us and through us, in our lives and ministries.

Scripture is fundamentally designed for growing fulfillment in human lives (see Jeremiah 1:11-12; Luke 22:15-16; Luke 24:44). The fulfillment of Scripture is demonstrated in the Way in which we actually come to know GOD, so as to live by GOD through all that actually comes from HIM.

It is crucial to understand that Scripture is designed to enable us to receive from YHWH and, by this process come to know YHWH.

Scripture is designed for growing fulfillment (see Jeremiah 1:11-12, NASB). Through Scripture the specifics of knowing GOD are unveiled through the fulfillment of the elements of the Scripture, arising through the Law and the Prophets (see Matthew 5:17; John 17:6 a,26). The Law and the Prophets form the fundamental building blocks of Scripture and, are in the reality of their fulfillment in CHRIST JESUS (MASHIAH YESHUA), the framework to us actualizing the fulfillment of the Scriptures (see Luke 24:44; Jeremiah 1:11-12). And, we are the people appointed to realize the fulfillment of Scripture in and through the fullness of CHRIST JESUS (see John 1:16-17, NASB; Ephesians 1:22-23) communicated into us and amongst us. In the actual fulfillment of Scripture is the reality of GOD communicated! Simply because only GOD has the capacity to actually fulfill Scripture. And, by fulfilling the Scripture, GOD gives true expression to HIMSELF (see John 17:17; John 6:1-71 a; Exodus 31:13 c,13; 31:18; 32:16; Hebrews 4:9-11). The structure of fulfillment is built in and through the Law and the Prophets. But, the reality of fulfillment is entirely of the fullness of GOD (see Ephesians 3:19; John 1:16-17). The Law and the Prophets have the inherrent intent of showing us the “I AM” Nature and Stature of the LORD our GOD through the actual process of unveiling the Law and the Prophets in terms of their fulfilled realities into our inward parts. And this is why the actualities of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets enable us to see GOD (see Matthew 5:8; Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3, KJV/NKJV) and, enable us to come to know GOD through HIS “I AM” Nature and HIS “I AM” Stature revealed to our inward parts (see Isaiah 66:2). The realities of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets actually define the elements of true life - in (increasingly) fulfilled terms entirely defined through the fullness of MASHIAH YESHUA communicated into us. The fullness of MASHIAH YESHUA being communicated in HIS Spirit and HIS Life (see John 6:63). The Law Of Life blossoms in the actual realization of a Word Construct of the Law and the Prophets manifested - in us and through us - in fulfilled terms communicated in the faith and love of MASHIAH YESHUA (see Matthew 5:17).

We can see this, for example, in terms of GOD’s love being actually realized and expressed in us and through us in all that we do in word and deed. We see this in the radical changes in our character. And, these changes are part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law being actualized in our being and in our lifestyle. The realization of a Word Construct of the Law and the Prophets communicated in fulfilled terms gives living expression to the elements of true life. And, the actual expression of the elements of true life, enable us to actually know GOD in a reality realized from HIM. This knowing is Word-defined with the elements of GOD’s Word being manifested in fulfilled terms as life actualized - by promise fulfilled or, by promise realized - from GOD (see Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Corinthians 1:22)!

“Knowing GOD” is therefore, the very essence and substance of Scripture, in terms of its every revelation and, its every application in actual fulfillment (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB; James 1:17-18). “Knowing GOD” is a reality explained and founded through Scripture defined in our inward parts. “Knowing GOD” is not make believe; it comes from Scripture revealed and formed inside us. This inward definition of Scripture is the communication of Scripture as the actual Testament Of YHWH. In the communication of the actual Testament Of YHWH is the true knowledge of GOD (see John 17:3). The true knowledge of GOD unveils true life.

YHWH’S “I AM” Testament

It is important to understand that the realities that enable us to know GOD and to function in GOD are unveiled from Scripture in a GOD given spiritual framework that is (prophetically) defined as HIS Testimony. The fulfillment of Scripture is therefore the actualization of the Testimony Of GOD. In this light of actual and growing fulfillment, the Testimony Of JESUS that unveils the “I AM” of YHWH (see John 17:6 a,26) is called the Spirit Of Prophecy (see Revelation 19:10 c; John 6:63).

It is as the Testimony Of YHWH is released into us - in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT - that we actually come alive to GOD, so as to come to know GOD. And, knowing YHWH is the essence and substance of Scripture that enables actual fulfillment to continue to come forth and remain alive to us - forever.

And, this is simply because only YHWH can fulfill Scripture in the actuality of Scripture being HIS Testament. And, this enables us to understand that Scripture is exclusively fulfilled in the realities of the true knowledge of “I AM”.

And, we must always remember that YHWH has designed the Scriptures for growing fulfillment - forever - in HIS “I AM” revealed! The Scriptures are therefore fundamentally to be understood as YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony. This “I AM” actuality of the Scriptures must be perfected and completed into the creation for the creation to live and grow. The understanding of Scripture (in the reality of the abiding) is therefore, entirely and necessarily, an “I AM” reality.

[YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony brought alive in us is the unveiling of the Tree Of Life: “I AM The Life!” See John 17:26 c in the context of John 17:6 a. And, understand this reality through Romans 8:2 and John 16:13-15. Understand that the “I AM” of YHWH is revealed to us exclusively in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT and, this is the Law Of Life or, the fundamental basis of true life actualized! The growing realization of this “I AM” Law Of Life in our inward parts, unveils as an actual “Tree Of Life”. The root of the Tree Of Life is the Law fulfilled. The blossoming magnificence of the Tree Of Life is the Prophets fulfilled. The root of the Law fulfilled (see Deuteronomy 6:4-6; Deuteronomy 30:6) is the Root Of David that will unveil the Tree Of Life as manifesting - in the Prophets fulfilled - the Offspring Of David (see Revelation 22:16; Acts 13:22 b-23; Psalms 132:10-11; Ephesians 5:30, KJV/NKJV; Jeremiah 33:14-26; Revelation 22:1-4). In this Root Of David, the “I AM” of YHWH unfolds as the BELOVED in us (see Deuteronomy 30:6; Deuteronomy 6:4-6).] YHWH Communicates HIS “I AM”

YHWH’s Testimony to us is HIS communication of HIS “I AM” realities and actualities in Scripture - into us. This communication of Scripture into us - in a growing reality in substance (Greek: hupostasis) - is the exclusive workmanship of YHWH (see Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3; Isaiah 54:13). This creative, supernatural communication enables us to open (or, to realize) a Word defined reality in HIM and of HIM, so as to live in HIM and by HIM, as we come to know HIM through the growing fulfillment of the Scriptures (see Jeremiah 31:33-34; Deuteronomy 30:6). This communication is a substantive witness or reality in substance - actualized in us, in potentially fully functional terms. The substance is exclusively of YHWH, unveiled in us - subordinately and derivatively!

[The Tree Of Life unveils (prophetically) as a growing substantive reality of living in YHWH and, living by YHWH. And, this is so simply because only “I AM” Is Life! And, life is exclusively tied to the actualities of the “I AM” of YHWH. These actualities of “I AM” realized in our inward parts (see John 17:6 a; 1 John 5:10 a,6-8, NKJV) define the form and growth of the Tree Of Life.] In HIS Testimony revealed, in substance and in reality, GOD actually explains the abiding and eternal context of HIS Word - “I AM” - into us.

Scripture is thus designed with the intent of being in accordance with YHWH’s “I AM” Name (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB).

Scripture is designed to unveil “WHO” YHWH IS, in the context of all “THAT” YHWH IS (and vice versa)! And, the fundamental purpose of this revelation is so that we will all actually live through YHWH!

[And, we come to live as the Scripture is fully fulfilled in the “I AM” substance and reality of YHWH unveiled derivatively and subordinately into the creation (see John 6:48; John 14:6; John 15:1-5).] This ‘explanation’ of Scripture in accordance with all of GOD’s Name, is entirely supernatural. That is, the revelation is exclusively engineered and enabled by YHWH (see Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3-6) in substance and reality communicated into our inward parts. And, this is the only way in which Scripture can actually be explained into us. And, this actuality makes us entirely subject to the supremacy of YHWH. We actually learn to be fully dependent on HIM. And, in learning to be fully dependent on HIM, we die to self and our independence of GOD.

Scripture explained, is a reality exclusively defined in revelation knowledge (see Deuteronomy 29:29; Mark 4:22) fashioned into our inward parts - creatively (see Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3) - as the exclusive workmanship of GOD (see also Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

[This reality of Scripture explained in revelation knowledge, perfected and completed into us in all that we do in word and deed, is the substantive form of the Tree Of Life. The Tree Of Life is the actuality of YHWH that we have realized in our inward parts (see John 17:6; John 17:26; John 1:16-18, NASB; Colossians 2:9; John 14:6; John 15:1-9; John 15:16). See also Revelation 22:1-2. The Tree Of Life is increasingly fulfilled as we actually learn to live and function in “I AM” terms, in word and deed (see John 17:6 a,26; Colossians 3:17).] Being Taught By YHWH In the reality of revelation knowledge, we are all being taught by GOD (see John 6:44-45). Being actually taught by GOD is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law (see Exodus 31:18; Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3) and the Prophets (see Isaiah 54:13). Being taught by GOD is in fact the necessary basis and conduit for the realization of the realities of the Law and the Prophets in fulfilled terms (see Matthew 5:48)! The fact is that unless we are actually taught by YHWH we will never come to know HIM (see John 6:44-45; Ephesians 1:17-18; John 1:18, NASB + KJV; 17:6a). In the way that ‘knowing’ is defined in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (see Deuteronomy 6:4-6; Deuteronomy 30:6; Jeremiah 31:33-34; Jeremiah 24:7; Jeremiah 32:39-41). Being taught by GOD is a reality exclusively unveiled as revelation knowledge, perfected and completed into our inward parts (see Exodus 32:16; Mark 4:22; Deuteronomy 29:29) by the Finger Of GOD (see Exodus 31:18; Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3).

What we must understand is that being taught by YHWH is a prophetic reality available to each and every born again child of GOD (see 2 Corinthians 3:3, KJV/NKJV, 3-6; Ezekiel 36:26; Ezekiel 36:25-27). And, we need to pursue this fulfillment (see Luke 11:9-13) by the SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS (see Romans 8:2). This prophetic reality is meant to be exclusively unveiled in CHRIST JESUS (see Colossians 2:2-3; Revelation 19:10 c) by the HOLY SPIRIT (see John 16:13-15). And, being taught by GOD is part and parcel of true life realized in the growing fact that YHWH IS! And, when we are actually taught by GOD, we will no longer wrestle with the reality and necessary supremacy of GOD any more! The fact is that the eternal and abiding meanings (and realities) of Scripture are explained into us - only - in GOD’s “I AM” Testimony or Witness (see 1 John 5:7, NKJV; Revelation 3:14 b). For example, the word ‘love’ is not explained in the languages of man or, the intellect of man. The word ‘love’ is an actuality unveiled in and from YHWH because only GOD Is Love! The explanation of actual love is communicated into us exclusively in the Spirit and Life of CHRIST JESUS (see John 6:63; John 3:34; John 1:16-17, NASB). So when we see Scripture, we must fundamentally understand that the true and unadulterated substance of the eternal and abiding realities of Scripture are all exclusively of the “I AM” of YHWH! HE is the Truth (see John 14:6). And, the truth is exclusively communicated in HIM and by HIM and through HIM - and, is exclusively of HIM. This is why YHWH’s “I AM” communicated through CHRIST JESUS is exclusively the Bread Of Life (see John 6:48; John 6:51; John 6:53; Leviticus 21:22; Matthew 4:4; John 3:34; John 17:8; John 17:7; John 16:15; John 15:7). And, the Bread Of Life is the actual substance of the Truth - “I AM the Truth!” And, the actual substance of the Truth is communicated as the Bread Of The Holy and the Bread Of The Most Holy (see Leviticus 21:22) in the fulfillment of the Law! AMEN!

[Please understand that in the fulfillment of the Law, the Bread is of the fullness of HIM WHO must fill all-in-all (see John 6:51; Ephesians 1:22-23). Please understand that the fulfillment of the Law is entirely and completely on a different plane of reality from that which is of the letter of the Law (see Matthew 5:20). The letter of the Law was manifested in the righteousness of man. The fulfillment of the Law is entirely of the Righteousness of/ YHWH (see 2 Corinthians 5:21).] The Tree Of Life Unveiled

YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony is made alive in us supernaturally (see 1 John 5:10 a; Exodus 32:16; 2 Corinthians 3:3) in and by CHRIST JESUS alone (see John 1:16-18, NASB). YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony is made alive in us as a living and growing Tree Of Life that expresses itself as a True and Faithful Witness (see Revelation 3:14 b): “I AM The Life!” See also John 17:26 c and John 15:1-6. This True and Faithful Witness is the AMEN or Oath of GOD’s “I AM” communicated. In this True and Faithful Witness is the reality of true life. This True and Faithful Witness that is the AMEN and Oath of GOD’s “I AM” communicated, is the Testimony Of YESHUA (JESUS) - the Spirit Of Prophecy (see John 6:63; John 3:34).

[Revelation 22:2 describes the Tree Of Life as bearing twelve kinds of fruit. The Tree Of Life unveils its fruitfulness through the Body Of CHRIST or, Body Of MASHIAH (see Ephesians 2:15 c; 1:22-23; John 15:16) both Jew and Gentile.

John 15:16 explains the reality and nature of this GOD-ordained fruitfulness in peculiar terms: “... that whatever you ask of the FATHER in MY Name, HE may give to you.”

Notice that the fundamental reason for this fruitfulness is to unveil the reality and actuality of YHWH. So that all creation will clearly know and understand and eventually function in the fact that life and, the fruitfulness of life comes from YHWH alone.]

We only come to understand (see Proverbs 9:10 b, NASB) Scripture as we “see” or “realize” or “actualize” the awesomeness of GOD in HIS “I AM” (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB; Isaiah 66:1-2) from our inward parts of heart, soul and, mind. And, this is the only basis for the actual fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets in our inward parts (see Exodus 32:16; Deuteronomy 6:4; Deuteronomy 30:6; 2 Corinthians 3:3, KJV/NKJV; John 6:51; John 6:53).

We can only see, realize and actualize, from the Word released into us by the Finger Of GOD (see Exodus 31:18). This is why Proverbs 9:10 c (NASB) describes understanding as being a reality that arises from actually knowing the HOLY ONE (see also 1 John 2:20). Where the reality of knowing, blossoms through an actual intimacy realized in our inward parts of heart, soul and mind (see Deuteronomy 6:4-6; Deuteronomy 30:6). This is “understanding” unveiled - exclusively - in the Witness of the “I AM” Tree Of Life, as opposed to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This is an understanding that grows as we actually learn to live and function in GOD and by GOD and, all that comes from HIM.

What comes alive in our inward parts is a reality of “I AM”, in which, “I AM” increasingly unveils HIMSELF as being the actuality of our life and strength. This inward reality of “I AM” is the Tree Of Life and, this reality (defined in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets) finds its growing fulfillment in loving YHWH, as we come to actually know GOD through the Scriptures fulfilled (see Mark 12:30; Deuteronomy 30:6) into our inward parts (see Exodus 32:16).

Since Scripture can actually be fulfilled in our inward parts - by true substance communicated - we can now understand that we can actually be unveiled in perfection (see Matthew 5:48; 1 John 3:3).

CHRIST JESUS (or, MASHIAH YESHUA) came into the world to give actual fulfillment - by substance communicated - to the Scriptures (see Luke 24:44; John 1:16-17, NASB/KJV/NKJV).

HE came to give expression to the perfection of GOD into our inward parts (see Matthew 5:48; 1 John 3:3) so that we will live by GOD - in HIS perfection increasingly completed in our inward parts.

It is crucial that we understand this and, receive the actuality of this fulfillment in HIS Fullness (see John 1:16-17, NASB). This fulfillment is in the actuality of grace upon grace communicated. The conduit of this fulfillment must be understood in the Law and the Prophets - fulfilled in us, in the actual substance of HIS Fullness - HIS Flesh (see John 6:51; Leviticus 21:22); actually communicated into us (see John 6:63; Luke 21:33; Hebrews 7:28) as a growing Covenant Of Life.

How is this inward totality in the Tree Of Life actualized?

Revelation Knowledge

YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony (unveiled in the Spirit and Life of CHRIST JESUS - see Colossians 2:9, KJV; John 6:63) is a reality in substance described - exclusively - as revelation knowledge (see Deuteronomy 29:29; Mark 4:22). This reality in substance is HIS substance (unveiled from and through HIS Spirit and HIS Life) that, enables knowledge to be communicated into us, in a substantive revelation reality that actually transforms us (see 2 Peter 1:3-4 a). HIS substance (HIS hupostasis) is communicated - as grace - through HIS faith and HIS love for us (see 1 Timothy 1:14; John 1:16-17, NASB). HIS substance (HIS hupostasis) is communicated into us in a living Rhema Witness (see Revelation 3:14 b; Hebrews 1:3 b) manifested into us by the HOLY SPIRIT (see John 6:63 a; 16:13-15). HIS substance (HIS hupostasis) unveils through HIS faith and HIS love for us (see 1 Timothy 1:14; John 1:16-17, NASB).

[Revelation knowledge - developed in the context of a living inward witness (see 1 John 5:10 a) - is a reality in substance that unveils as the Tree Of Life. We unveil - by realization - the actuality of having being taught by GOD (see John 6:45; Isaiah 54:13) so as to function by GOD (see Romans 8:2). And, this functional reality is a growing ‘Tree Of Life’.

And, the inward witness fashioned in revelation knowledge, is in opposition to all that unveils from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that is entirely man centered and man denominated. The fact is that we must all enter the actuality of being actually taught by GOD (see John 6:44-45)! We can only know GOD if we are actually taught by YHWH. We can only serve GOD if we are actually taught by YHWH. We each need to be fully enabled by GOD and, be fully enabled in GOD!

And, this is entirely possible because knowledge is substance communicated in the Spirit of YESHUA - the Spirit Of Prophecy that clothes our inward parts as a fatness (see Isaiah 10:27 c, KJV+NASB; Leviticus 3:3-5; Leviticus 3:16 c). And, this is possible because knowledge is substance communicated in the Life of YESHUA - “I AM the Bread Of Life” and “I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life!”

Revelation knowledge is of the SPIRIT Of YHWH, unveiling the Fullness of CHRIST JESUS into us (see John 1:16-17; Colossians 2:2-3; John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). And, this inward reality built in revelation knowledge is opposed to the knowledge of good and evil which is a man-centered knowledge system, that is exclusively of the flesh and fallen nature of man (see 2 Corinthians 10:5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). The tree of the knowledge of good and evil functions on the basis that man can know and understand and actually function without GOD! The Tree Of Life on the other hand, functions on the basis that man can only live by all that comes into being in and from YHWH. John 5:19-20 explains this reality through the Testimony Of YESHUA.] Unveiling The Spiritual Framework Of The “I AM” Of GOD The spiritual reality in substance (see Hebrews 11:1, KJV/NKJV) fashioned in revelation knowledge, is GOD’s “I AM” Testimony being revealed into us as a living and growing evidence of “I AM”. This spiritual reality in revelation knowledge is exclusive to CHRIST JESUS (see John 17:6 a,26; Colossians 2:2-3). It is exclusively of HIS Spirit and HIS Life. It is exclusively explained in HIS faith an HIS love for us.

Revelation knowledge - unveiled in the “I AM” of CHRIST JESUS (see Colossians 2:9, KJV) - enables us to actually know GOD (see Jeremiah 31:33-34; Exodus 31:18; Exodus 32:16; John 6:45) and, to actually function in GOD and by GOD (see Php 4:13; Ephesians 2:10).

YHWH’s “I AM” Testimony being unveiled in the spiritual framework of revelation knowledge is also the prophetic fulfillment of the Ark Of The Testimony foreshadowed in the Old Testament (see Exodus 25:16; Exodus 25:21-22; Deuteronomy 10:8; 1 Peter 2:9).

Understand (see Proverbs 9:10 b) that the Ark is the definitive spiritual framework [the Length, the Breadth, the Height and the Depth - see Ephesians 3:18] for the unfolding of:

(i) The Testimony Of YHWH (see Ephesians 3:18-19; Ephesians 3:14-21);

(ii) The Covenant Of YHWH (see Deuteronomy 10:8);

(iii) The Name Of YHWH (see 2 Samuel 6:2); and, (iv) the Might Of YHWH (see 2 Chronicles 6:40-41; 2 Chronicles 7:16; Hebrews 3:4-6; John 2:19-21).

And, this Ark (see Ephesians 3:18-19; Ephesians 3:14-21) is the growing actuality of the framework of the Law and the Prophets manifested in fulfilled terms (see Matthew 5:17-19) through the Body Of MASHIAH (see Ephesians 1:22-23; Revelation 21:1-3; Revelation 21:16; Revelation 21:9-11).

[See also Deuteronomy 10:8 and, its fulfillment in the Priesthood of the Order Of Melchizedek (see Hebrews 7:12; Hebrews 7:16; Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28) in the appointed places and times in the heavenlies (see Ephesians 1:3-6; Revelation 11:15-19; Revelation 15:1-5).] In the functional unveiling of the Ark, is the prophetic reality of Aaron’s Rod that budded (see Hebrews 9:3-4; Hebrews 7:28; Hebrews 7:22; Colossians 2:2-3; John 14:12-14). And, this is also a prophetic, functional reality of the Word Of The Oath that is part and parcel of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled (see Matthew 5:17-19; Deuteronomy 6:13; Deuteronomy 10:20). The Word Of The Oath is also the construct of the Ark. The Ark Of GOD Explained

Ephesians 3:18 describes the prophetic dimensions of the Ark Of Testimony as “the Breadth and Length and Height and Depth” that speaks of the dynamics of the Fullness Of CHRIST JESUS realized (see John 1:16-17, NASB) in fully functional terms (see John 14:12-14; John 15:7-8; John 15:16; John 16:22-27; Hebrews 7:28; Hebrews 7:26; Hebrews 7:12; Hebrews 7:16). We unveil as the Body Of CHRIST - as a royal priesthood - in the fully functional terms of HIS Fullness established in us and amongst us (see Ephesians 1:22-23) - in Love (see Ephesians 3:18-19). This functionality comes about as YHWH’s Covenant Testimony is unveiled in accordance with all of YHWH’s Name (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB) in us and amongst us. This functionality is fully “I AM” dependent (understand this from John 5:19; John 5:30). And, the spiritual framework of this functionality - in YHWH’s Love actualized - is the fulfillment of the Ark (see Deuteronomy 10:8; Deuteronomy 6:4-6; Ephesians 3:18-19; Revelation 21:1-3; Revelation 21:16; Revelation 21:9-11). This functional fulfillment is part and parcel of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled.

Understand that the Body Of MASHIAH (CHRIST) is a priesthood that is being unveiled in the growing fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (see Deuteronomy 10:8; Hebrews 7:12; Hebrews 7:16; Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28). A priesthood that functions in living tabernacles - united by the SPIRIT into a living Temple (see John 2:19-21; Ephesians 2:19-22; Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 3:18-19). The construct of the Ark (see Exodus 25:10) in acacia wood (known as the “indestructible wood”) prophetically characterizes the construct of the Ark Of The Testimony in the indestructible wood of the Logos Word, unveiled in our inward parts (see 1 Peter 1:23; Exodus 32:16; Luke 21:33)! The Ark is a Logos Word Construct that Hebrews 7:28 addresses as the Logos Word Of The Oath. This Oath is exclusively activated by the HOLY SPIRIT, in the anointing of the Spirit Of Holiness (see Romans 1:3-4) that comes from CHRIST (or, MASHIAH) formed in us (see Galatians 4:19 b). This prophetic reality [of the Testimony being communicated through the Spirit Of Prophecy unveiled, as the Spirit Of Holiness] is depicted in the Old Testament by the Ark Of The Testimony being overlaid by pure Gold (see Exodus 25:11). Pure Gold representing holiness unto YHWH (see Exodus 28:1-4; Exodus 28:36-38; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Php 2:12-13). This reality in substance of the Word Of The Oath is in its realization in our inward parts, a substantive reality that is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law (see Deuteronomy 6:13; Deuteronomy 10:20). The Oath must be entirely framed in CHRIST JESUS for the Guarantee to be in place functionally within us (see Hebrews 7:22; John 14:12-14) by the HOLY SPIRIT (see Romans 8:2; John 16:14-15). The Ark that we unveil as the Body Of MASHIAH is of HIS Fullness [the Logos Word of the LOGOS WORD, HIS Flesh (see John 6:51) unveiled through HIS Spirit and HIS Life (see John 6:63; Revelation 19:10 c), communicated (see John 17:8 a,7a) through HIS faith and HIS love for us (see 1 Timothy 1:14)]. The Ark of MASHIAH YESHUA’s Fullness - described prophetically as the Breadth and Length and Height and Depth, to be unveiled in the living Body Of MASHIAH (see Deuteronomy 10:8) - is to fill all-in-all (see Ephesians 1:22-23). From Deuteronomy 10:8, we see that this too is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (see John 1:16-17, NASB; Ephesians 3:18-19; Ephesians 1:22-23).

We are a priesthood appointed to carry and express - in fully functional terms - the Ark Of The Testimony, which is also called the Ark Of The Covenant (see Deuteronomy 10:8; Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28). We do this in the true, full and perfected knowledge of YHWH unveiled in us - exclusively - in the fullness of CHRIST JESUS (see Deuteronomy 30:6; Deuteronomy 10:8; Ephesians 1:22-23; John 1:16) by the HOLY SPIRIT (see John 16:13-15). And, this fulfillment - in fully functional terms - is part and parcel of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled (see Deuteronomy 10:8; 2 Samuel 6:9).

And, this spiritual framework in revelation knowledge (or, Ark) has to be of “I AM”, so that we can live and function in GOD and by GOD and through GOD by Blood Covenant Oath alive in our hearts - in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT (see Romans 8:2; Hebrews 7:12; Hebrews 7:16; Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28). And, this must be so simply because HE is the Life! Unveiling this reality in “I AM” is our destiny (see Matthew 5:13-18).

[It has to be our destiny because Life comes only from GOD; and, Life is manifested in our actual living - in terms of our nature, our thoughts and desires, our words and our deeds. All this has to be of YHWH’s “I AM” for us to actually live. This is why the Ark is also called by the Name - YHWH SABBAOTH (see 2 Samuel 6:2) the LORD (the “I AM”) Of Hosts. All of the hosts of creation are to live, move and have their being by the “I AM” Ark of YHWH’s unveiling through an eternal priesthood of the Order Of Melchizedek (see Genesis 14:18-20; Hebrews 7:12; Hebrews 7:16; Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28; Ephesians 3:18-19; Revelation 21:9-11).

Understand also the prophetic implications of David’s question in 2 Samuel 6:9 b, fulfilled in CHRIST JESUS, the Son Of David (see Romans 1:3-4): “How can the Ark of the LORD (YHWH) come to me?” See John 17:26 c. This is the heritage of the Offspring Of David (see Revelation 22:16; Psalms 132:11-12; Psalms 132:14; 2 Chronicles 6:41; 2 Chronicles 13:5; Ezekiel 44:28). And, this unveiling too is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. In this growing fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, we each come to actually taste and see that YHWH is Good. And, this growing actuality of tasting the goodness of YHWH is the salt of our Covenant (see Leviticus 2:13; 2 Chronicles 13:5), that we in turn express into all that we do in word and deed (see Leviticus 2:13; Leviticus 2:11; Leviticus 2:1-3; Matthew 5:13-16; Ephesians 1:22-23; Ephesians 3:16-21; Colossians 3:17).

We are called to do all things in word and deed in the manifested Name Of YHWH (see John 17:6 a; 14:12-14; 15:7-8,16; 16:22-27; Colossians 3:17)! The Name YHWH is manifested and explained in the “I AM” of MASHIAH YESHUA.] The Word Of The Oath The prophetic reality of “I AM” revealed, is a GOD-centered and GOD-sourced reality; which, is in prophetic terms also called the Beginning (see Revelation 3:14 b). This is a prophetic reality described in the Oath of GOD’s Name that is called the AMEN (see also 2 Corinthians 1:20). This “I AM” reality fulfilled in our inward parts is also pointedly addressed as the Memorial to all generations (see Exodus 3:15 c) that bears testimony to HIS “I AM” reality in our lives (see Ephesians 3:18-21). This Memorial is a construct unveiled in knowing and loving YHWH. The substance of the Memorial is of the actual knowledge of GOD, fashioned in a reality - perfected and completed in us - called the Word Of The Oath.

Deuteronomy 29:29 tells us that the secret things belong to GOD, but that which is revealed belongs to us - forever. A reality that stands forever is - by definition - a GOD-centered and GOD-sourced reality. This GOD-sustained reality has the potential to develop and grow forever in the framework of the Word Of The Oath that unveils the Ark of GOD’s Word - by Testament, by Covenant, by Name unveiled and, by HIS Might demonstrated in us (see Colossians 1:11) and through us. The Ark Of GOD’s Word is a construct in the Spirit and Life of CHRIST JESUS (MASHIAH YESHUA) - through the substance of HIS faith and HIS love - that forms a growing, living, functional, guarantee in our inward parts (see Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28; Revelation 19:10 c; John 6:63). This reality is an “I AM” Witness or, an “I AM” reality THAT has the prophetic potential of unveiling actualities of YHWH into our inward witness, so that we come to live by YHWH - exclusively! The quality of our life being unveiled in the “I AM” of YHWH realized (see John 17:6 a,26; 16:23-27) and actualized, in fully functional terms in all that we do in word and deed (see Colossians 3:17). The Light Of Life This prophetic reality, when made alive in our witness, is life realized in a growing continuity (see John 1:4; John 1:1-4). This reality is prophetically described in its fulfillment as the Light Of Life (see John 8:12 c; 1:4). The Light Of Life manifests the “I AM” actuality of YHWH in us (see Hebrews 11:6; John 17:6 a; Matthew 5:14-16). And, this is the actual and exclusive communication of truth!

GOD Is Light; and so, the Light Of Life is of HIS “I AM” given the fact of “I AM The Life!” The Light Of Life carries and communicates the spectrum of YHWH’s “I AM” radiance that enlightens us (in true knowledge, understanding and wisdom) and enables us to live and function by HIM. The spectrum of YHWH’s “I AM” radiance is a communication of both HIS transcendence and HIS immanence into growing realities alive to us from our inward parts, by the HOLY SPIRIT (see 1 Corinthians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). In this realization we will tremble at HIS Word (see Isaiah 66:2)! The Light Of Life fulfills many functions in us and amongst us in accordance to the revealed Word. For example the Light Of Life is the clothing of our priesthood in salvation (see 2 Chronicles 6:41; Isaiah 61:10; James 1:17). The Light Of Life also becomes an Armour Of Light (see Romans 13:12 c) that we put on as the Armour Of GOD (see Ephesians 6:10-16). Light realized from YHWH (see Psalms 97:11) actually describes and enables the several functions of the Armour Of GOD.

[INSIGHT: The Body Of MASHIAH (CHRIST) - both Jew and Gentile - is pre-destined to unveil the Ark Of HIS Might (see 2 Chronicles 6:41; Deuteronomy 10:8; Ephesians 1:19; Ephesians 1:22-23; John 17:6 a,26c) in a living construct of the Light Of Life manifested by the SPIRIT, through the revealed, perfected and completed Logos Word Of The Oath of the SON in us and amongst us (see Hebrews 7:22; Hebrews 7:28) that forms the construct of the Ark. The unveiling of this Ark will be in a radiance of the Sun Of Righteousness (see 2 Peter 1:19) that unveils a growing measure of the Fullness of the Bright Morning Star (see Habakkuk 3:3-4; Habakkuk 2:1-3; Revelation 1:16 c). The revealed Word perfected and completed - into a prophetic construct of the Ark Of HIS Might - releases the Light Of Life into all that we do in word and deed (see Deuteronomy 10:8; Ephesians 1:17-20; Colossians 3:17). This completed work of the Ark Of God, when brought into its collective fullness in the Bride, is the New Jerusalem described in Revelation 21:2-3; Revelation 21:9-11; Revelation 21:16; Revelation 21:22-23 in the unveiling of the Bride Of The LAMB (see also Zechariah 1:14). In Revelation 21:9-11, the Bride is described as having the radiance of the glory of GOD (see John 17:22; Ezekiel 44:28). In this Light Of Life the Nations will walk forever (see Revelation 21:24; Revelation 21:22-23)! AMEN (see Revelation 3:14 b)! And, this too is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.] An Inheritance And Possession

GOD’s “I AM” reality in substance is meant to become our inheritance and our possession (see Ezekiel 44:28) in entirely subordinate and dependent terms - through the Flesh of the SON Of MAN (see John 6:51; John 6:53). The Ark represents the actuality of this inheritance possessed singularly (see John 1:16; John 17:26 c) and collectively (see Ephesians 1:22-23) in fulfillment of Ephesians 3:18-19.

And, this too is part and parcel of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled (see Deuteronomy 10:8; Genesis 15:5-6; 2 Peter 1:19; Matthew 5:17-19; Colossians 3:17).

And, this comes about through the actual Word Of GOD revealed into our inward parts - in substance (hupostasis) - in accordance with the reality (or, light) of YHWH’s “I AM” Name (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB), in an understanding that actually knows HIM (see Proverbs 9:10 b, NASB).

[This understanding that knows HIM is the basic radiant substance of HIS Light realized as light in our inward parts. This light unveils in a radiance (an enlightenment); prophetically addressed as the Sun Of Righteousness (see Malachi 4:2; Psalms 37:3-6); in which, we are unveiled as YHWH’s Righteousness in CHRIST JESUS (see 2 Corinthians 5:21 b). This enlightened or radiant state of being realized is prophetically addressed as a Morning Star (see 2 Peter 1:19; Genesis 15:5). This again is part and parcel of the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets (see Genesis 15:5; Malachi 4:2; Psalms 37:6; Psalms 37:3-7 a; Exodus 25:31-40; Revelation 1:20 c). The radiance is the actuality of the “knowing” of YHWH!

Understanding (or, enlightenment - see Ephesians 1:17-18) is explained as knowing the HOLY ONE (Proverbs 9:10 b, NASB) WHO is called the Bright Morning Star (see Revelation 22:16). The AMEN of the Law and the Prophets fulfilled (see Revelation 3:14 b) in a new creation that is exclusively of HIS Flesh (see Ephesians 2:10; Ephesians 2:15).] This realization of the Light Of Life is a fully dependent and subordinate reality defined in revelation knowledge.

Revelation knowledge is knowledge unveiled by GOD into our inward parts through a living and growing witness (see 1 John 5:10 a) fashioned in the substance of CHRIST JESUS Fullness (unveiled, in a growing radiance of the Light Of Life). And, this inward totality is made fully functional in Blood Covenant through a living Witness of Blood, Water and Spirit (see 1 John 5:10 a,8,6-8), opened and directed by the HOLY SPIRIT, in CHRIST JESUS.

Two Forms Of Revelation Knowledge

Revelation knowledge unveils as a Word Construct in the Light Of Life activated through a living inward witness. The Word Construct fashioned is quickened into a living witness alive by the SPIRIT, in and from our inward parts of spirit and soul, in the functional dimensions of our heart and mind. In this context, we must understand that soul and spirit represent two different functional states of the inward witness (denoted prophetically in the Law, as the Bread Of The Holy and the Bread Of The Most Holy - see Leviticus 21:22), fashioned in and through the Word Of GOD unveiled in us (see Hebrews 4:12). This duality of function (in spirit and soul) is part and parcel of YHWH’s creative work in our inward parts (see 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:10). This duality of function unveils our spirit man to the Holy Of Holies and, our soul man to the fulfilled actuality of the Holy Place, the Tent Of Meeting - being alive to YHWH at all times, at the speed of thought (see Hebrews 6:19).

Everything From GOD Has To Open By Revelation In Mark 4:22, the LORD JESUS tells us that: “... nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it should come to light.”

What we see being described in Mark 4:22 by the LORD JESUS, is an all encompassing prophetic reality (in knowledge, wisdom and understanding) that is exclusively realized in and from GOD (see Deuteronomy 29:29) in fulfillment of the Law. The conduit of this realization (see Deuteronomy 30:13-14; Deuteronomy 30:11-14) is in the fulfillment of the Law, exclusive to CHRIST JESUS HIMSELF (see Colossians 2:2-3; John 1:16-17). It is of HIS Spirit and HIS Life, described in the substance of HIS faith and HIS love for us (see John 6:63; 1 Timothy 1:14).

[INSIGHT: The spiritual framework of this all-encompassing reality in revelation knowledge is the Ark Of HIS Name (see 2 Samuel 6:2; 2 Samuel 6:9) that we are enabled to carry and unveil, in the fullness of CHRIST JESUS that we have realized (see John 1:16-18, NASB/KJV; John 17:6; John 17:26; Ephesians 4:13; Ephesians 4:15-16; Ephesians 1:22-23) through the ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT (see John 16:13-15).] The Spirit Of Prophecy In the only begotten SON, YHWH’s “I AM” revealed enables us to actualize our salvation in accordance with the realities in the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The realities of salvation are fully consistent with the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets has been configured in the SON’s spirit as Spirit, the Spirit Of Holiness, that unveils its prophetic potentials as the Spirit Of Prophecy (see Romans 1:3-4; Revelation 19:10 c). HIS Spirit enables us to be formed in the image and fullness of CHRIST JESUS (see Romans 8:29; John 1:16-17). The Spirit Of Prophecy enables the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets to be fully communicated, in the fully enabled terms of the Spirit Of Holiness, into every child of GOD (see 2 Thessalonians 1:10)! This reality will unveil as grace upon grace (see John 1:16) actualized. In the Spirit Of Holiness, the SON fulfilled HIS position as the MESSIAH (the CHRIST). In HIS Spirit and HIS Life we receive the realities of the Law and the Prophets - in fulfilled terms, communicated, in HIS Spirit and HIS Life (see Luke 24:44; John 6:63), in the substance of HIS faith and HIS love for us (see 1 Timothy 1:14).

And, this reality received, perfected and completed into our inward parts, unveils the specific dimensions of our salvation - in Word defined terms that are consistent with the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.

Through the Word, YHWH is establishing a communications system of growing fulfillment within each of us and amongst all of us. This communications system is established as HIS Testament. It is to be fully operated by Covenant in HIM (in MASHIAH YESHUA), by HIM (by the HOLY SPIRIT) and for HIM (exclusively for the FATHER’s Glory - “Hallowed Be THY Name!”).

GOD Must Have First Place In Our Thinking When GOD proclaims: “I AM the Life”, HE is telling us that every sustainable reality of true Life arises from within HIS “I AM” revealed. In the same way, every “I AM” reality of GOD proclaimed in Scripture, is telling us that every sustainable and abiding reality in Scripture has to necessarily come from the “I AM” of GOD unveiled, to be actually meaningful to us. See James 1:17-18 and, take note of the word every. In other words, all of Scripture is to have its highest realizable reality in accordance with all of GOD’s Name (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB). It is “knowing GOD” that unveils the reality (or, radiance) in substance that actually explains the Scriptures in their eternal and abiding “I AM” context. For example: Truth is exclusive to the “I AM” of GOD. Truth is not creature denominated but is instead an unveiling of a growing reality that is exclusively of GOD and from GOD; which, is also fully sustained by GOD. And, this is because GOD’s Testament to us is simply: “I AM The Truth!” The Testament in Truth is brought to us in the Spirit and Life of CHRIST JESUS as HIS Words (see John 6:63; John 3:34). Given the fact that the Testament in Truth is HIS Words, it follows that HIS Words express HIS Spirit and HIS Life. Therefore, HIS Words unveiled in HIS Spirit and HIS Life are meant to be the means by which all Scripture is explained into us and through us - in thought, word and deed (see Luke 24:44; Luke 21:33; Colossians 3:17). From the reality of YHWH-JIREH, we see that every form of sustainable provision is also exclusive to the “I AM” of GOD. GOD’s eternal and abiding provision is also actually exclusive to the Spirit and Life of CHRIST JESUS (see John 6:63); which Luke 21:33 explains, makes “MY Words” [“MY Logos”] eternal and indestructible - the Word [Logos] Of The Oath actualized in our inward parts! From the reality of YHWH-TSIDKENU, we see that righteousness in thought, word and, deed is also exclusive to the “I AM” of GOD unveiled in us. This reality of GOD’s Righteousness is unveiled in us in the faith and love of CHRIST JESUS for us (see Romans 3:21-22 KJV; 1 Timothy 1:14; 2 Corinthians 5:21). HIS faith and HIS love for us, is communicated into us in HIS Words that, are unveiled in us in the very substance and reality of HIS Fullness.

And, this entire communication of righteousness is an “I AM” communication expressed prophetically as YHWH-TSIDKENU! This “I AM” communication transforms us and unveils us as HIS Righteousness, in CHRIST JESUS (see 2 Corinthians 5:21). From the reality of YHWH-SHAMMAH we understand that every sustainable reality, for anything in our life, is meant to arise in the reality that GOD IS, that HE is there in our situations and circumstances - always. HE needs to be “I AM” in our life for anything in our life to be a sustainable and, growing blessing. HE must be there for anything in our lives to remain worthwhile. HE needs to become - in HIS “I AM” manifested (see John 17:6 a) - our ever present help and, our fortress of reality!

All this tells us that knowing GOD is in fact the very essence and pulse of life and, all that makes our life a sustainable blessing. Creation will in fact die without the eternal and abiding knowledge of GOD. This is why the essence of spiritual warfare is always with regards to the knowledge of GOD (see 2 Corinthians 10:5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

Knowing YHWH Is The Basis Of Understanding So we see that the unveiling of the “I AM” of GOD, is the basis for the understanding (see Proverbs 9:10 b) of all Scripture in its eternal and abiding context. That is, the eternal and abiding context of all Scripture must - exclusively - be of the “I AM” of GOD, for it to have a sustained impact in our lives (see Psalms 138:2 c, NASB; Luke 24:44) - forever!

Knowing GOD is the necessary basis for the true understanding of Scripture. Because without the “I AM” of GOD being actually unveiled, all of Scripture will simply be a litany of historical events, laws and principles that will have no power to give life or, sustain life in us and amongst us.
