Want to tackle more of my ideas of theology?

YHWH, has been translated as “I AM. I AM” which we also see in the account where Jehovah talks to Moses and tells him who he is. Now, why is the statement “I AM. I AM” so important. Is there a deeper meaning? In Hebrew, YHWH, is the male verb form of “I AM” found in “YH”, plus it is the femal verb form of “I AM”. Also, it does not exactly mean “I AM”, it is more like “I HAVE BEEN AND I AM BECOMING”. Sounds strange yes? In my opinion, if you studied the literal meaning of the word JEHOVAH and ELOHIM, you will find a lot meaning.

As we enter the Renewed Covenant [being 'born again'], Yahuweh refers to Himself as "Father." His Set-Apart Spirit, feminine [as in the convention of language having feminine and masculine words] in the Hebrew Qodesh Ruach [set apart Spirit], remains enveloped in maternal terms: parakletos - the one who "calls alongside, comforts, and encourages." And most significantly, Yahuweh’s human representative, the Messiah, or perhaps more accurately, the Ma’sehyah, is the long awaited and often prophesized "Son of God."

Qodesh simply means "to separate and set-apart." The Hebrew word is based upon qadash. In fact qodesh could be qadash because both words are spelled identically in the original Hebrew text. Qadash means: "to consecrate or dedicate a person or thing to a particular purpose, to be separated and set-apart, belonging to God." The root of the word means "to be clean and pure." The Qodesh Spirit is "Set-Apart" from God yet She "belongs to God." The Qodesh Spirit is "dedicated to the purpose" of God: cleaning and purifying us, nurturing us, clothing us, teaching us, protecting and saving us. [from Yada Yahweh]
