The Arm of the LORD(YHWH)

(Originally compiled and written June 18, 2017)

The Arm of YHWH.

Hopefully those all reading this have an arm, if so I would like you to go ahead and do this short exercise with me, and don’t be shy…

Ok, now everyone, put your right arm in, put your right arm out, put your right arm in and shake it all about. You can even turn your self around.

Now, at anytime while you were doing this, did you see your right arm as a separate being from you? How about a different person?

Hopefully a resounding No, was replied.

So, can you tell me then why is it that since Yeshua is the Arm of YHWH, being YHWH Himself, why you would believe that Yeshua is a different being or person than that of YHWH…When YHWH is One with Himself?

Isaiah 52:9Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD(YHWH) has comforted His people; HE HAS REDEEMED JERUSALEM. 10The LORD(YHWH) HAS BARED HIS HOLY ARM IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THE NATIONS; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.(KJV)

All throughout the Scriptures Yahweh(YHWH) is referred to as the Redeemer, and the only way to properly provide redemption to His people, and all of man kind, was to become the Kinsman Redeemer, purchasing those redeemed to Him with His own blood.   

YHWH bared His Own Arm, when He came in the likeness of human flesh, and the passage from Isaiah was fulfilled in Luke 2:30-32:

Luke 2:26And it had been revealed to him by the Set-apart Spirit that he would not see death before he sees the Messiah of יהוה.
27And he came in the Spirit into the Set-apart Place. And as the parents brought in the Child יהושע, to do for Him according to the usual practice of the Torah,
28then he took Him up in his arms and blessed Elohim and said,
29“Now let Your servant go in peace, O Master, according to Your word,

30FOR MY EYES HAVE SEEN YOUR DELIVERANCE,
31WHICH YOU HAVE PREPARED BEFORE THE FACE OF ALL THE PEOPLES,
32A LIGHT FOR THE UNVEILING OF THE GENTILES, AND THE ESTEEM OF YOUR PEOPLE Yisra’ĕl.”

33And Yosĕph and His mother were marvelling at what was said about Him.
34And Shim‛on blessed them, and said to Miryam His mother, “See, this One is set for a fall and rising of many in Yisra’ĕl, and for a sign spoken against –
35and a sword shall pierce through your own being also – so as to reveal the thoughts of many hearts.”(ISR 98)


Are you ready for the next exercise?

Ok, now find the nearest available sheet, or even a towel big enough to cover yourself. Next, put the sheet over you, and then from under the sheet, expose your arm, so that the rest of you is still covered, but only your arm is sticking out from the sheet.

So, part of you is unseen, and another part of you is seen.

Did you become two different people while doing this?  Again, I hope a No was replied.

This is the same with YHWH. He is all One being, that is Father=Unseen, Son=Seen, as we will never see the Father, other than what has always been embodied in the Son. We have only ever, as humankind, and ALL of creation, to include the angels, have only ever SEEN the Son. He is the Son from eternity, but is also the only physical SEEN form of the Father

Col 1:15The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him

Phil 2:6Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross

Yeshua is considered the Arm of YHWH, however is not a lesser deity, or separate from the Father, but is the physical SEEN form of the Father, and is certainty therefore equal to the Father, as He is called “everlasting Father” and Yeshua/Jesus is our Potter, our Creator, who knit the very fabric of our being, who is called FATHER. 

Isa 64:8But now, O LORD(YHWH), YOU ARE OUR FATHER; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.

Isa 9:6For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE.

To separate Him or make Him less, or un-equal to the Father, is to remove Him from His throne, of which there is only One. We are not going to see three, or two thrones in Heaven with god number 1, 2, and 3. Nor is Yeshua LITERALLY seated at the right hand, as He has always been the One seated on the Throne, as the Ancient of Days. He is also not coming back as King, but is CURRENTLY a KING and a PRIEST.

Hebrews 7:2and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “KING of righteousness.” Then also, “KING of Salem” means “KING of peace.” 3Without father or mother or genealogy, WITHOUT BEGINNING OF DAYS OR END OF LIFE, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

Daniel 7:22until the ANCIENT OF DAYS arrived and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for them to possess the kingdom.

Zec 6:13Yes, he will build the Temple of the LORD. Then he will receive royal honor and WILL RULE AS KING FROM HIS THRONE. HE WILL ALSO SERVE AS PRIEST FROM HIS THRONE, and there will be perfect harmony between his two roles.’

So, lets continue on…

In the following chapter of Isaiah 52, you again come across the Arm of YHWH:

Isa 53:1Who has believed our report? And to whom was the arm of יהוה revealed?

Many are familiar with Isa 53, as it speaks of the affliction that Yeshua/Jesus suffered as the “Righteous Servant” who bears our iniquities: 

Isa 53:11After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge MY RIGHTEOUS SERVANT will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.(BSB)

And we can see this mentioned in Acts 3:26:

Acts 3:26“To you first, Elohim, having raised up **His Servant יהושע**, sent Him to bless you, in turning away each one of you from your wicked ways.”(ISR 98)

However, many may not realize, that YHWH Himself spoke that it was He that was also that Servant that He choose and would send, as He is our Saviour:

Isa 43: 10“You are My witnesses,” declares יהוה, “AND MY SERVANT WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN, SO THAT YOU KNOW AND BELIEVE ME, AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM HE. Before Me there was no Ěl formed, nor after Me there is none.  11“I, I am יהוה, and BESIDES ME THERE IS NO SAVIOUR. 12“I, I have declared and saved, and made known, and there was no foreign mighty one among you. And you are My witnesses,” declares יהוה, “that I am Ěl. (ISR 98)

YHWH became the Kinsman Redeemer….shed His blood for the atonement of sin, as foreshadowed before as He led them out of Egypt.

♦Romans 3:24being declared right, without paying, by His favour through the redemption which is in Messiah יהושע,(Yeshua/Jesus)
25whom Elohim set forth as an atonement, through belief in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His tolerance Elohim had passed over the sins that had taken place before, 26to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He is righteous and declares righteous the one who has belief in יהושע.

♦Titus 2:13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14Who gave himself for us, that he MIGHT REDEEM US FROM ALL INIQUITY, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.(KJV)

 The Mighty Arm of YHWH, that led the Israelites out of Egypt:

Exodus 6:6Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD(YHWH), and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I WILL REDEEM YOU WITH AN OUTSTRETCHED ARM and with mighty acts of judgment. 7I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God.(BSB)

Deuteronomy 4:34“Or has Elohim tried to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of a nation by trials, and by signs, and by wonders, and by battle, and BY A STRONG HAND AND AN OUTSTRETCHED ARM, and by great fearsome deeds, according to all that יהוה your Elohim did for you in Mitsrayim before your eyes?
35“You have been shown it, to know that יהוה HIMSELF IS ELOHIM; THERE IS NO ONE BESIDES HIM.

(Deuteronomy 4:34-35 sounds very similar to the passage in Isaiah 43:10-12 doesn’t it?)

♦Acts 13:17The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, AND WITH AN UPLIFTED ARM HE LED THEM OUT OF THAT LAND. 18He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.

And WHO endured that conduct for 40 years?

1 Cor 10:9neither let us try Messiah, as some of them also tried, and were destroyed by serpents,

The Arm of Yahweh…Yahweh is One…Father, Son, Spirit

♦Isa 59:16And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no intercessor. SO HIS OWN ARM SAVED FOR HIM, and His righteousness upheld him.

♦Isa 63:5“And I looked, but there was none helping, and I was astonished that there was none upholding. SO MY OWN ARM SAVED FOR ME, and My wrath upheld Me.
