  • The Jewish God

    This is a profound and beautifully layered question, Joseph—and it touches the very core of Jewish theological structure and messianic expectation.

    Let’s walk through it using the lens of Jewish block logic, which emphasizes non-contradiction within divine identity, covenantal exclusivity, and prophetic continuity.

    🧱 Block Logic: YHWH Alone as Savior

    In verses like Isaiah 43:11 and Hosea 13:4, YHWH declares:

    “I, I am YHWH, and besides Me there is no savior.”

    This is not just a theological claim—it’s a covenantal boundary marker. In Jewish block logic, this statement functions as a non-negotiable doctrinal block: salvation is not outsourced, delegated, or shared with other deities. YHWH alone is the Redeemer, the Savior, the One who acts in history to deliver Israel.

    🧩 Messiah as Savior: Not a Contradiction, but a Manifestation

    Enter the Messiah—not as a second deity, but as a manifestation of YHWH’s saving action within time and space. In Jewish thought, especially in mystical and prophetic traditions, the Messiah is:

    • An agent of divine salvation, not a rival to YHWH.
    • Anointed by YHWH, often described as “the arm of the LORD” (Isaiah 53:1).
    • A vessel of covenantal fulfillment, especially in the Davidic line.

    So, when Messiah is called “Savior,” it’s not in contradiction to YHWH’s exclusive claim. It’s a functional title, not an ontological one. Messiah saves because YHWH saves through him.

    🔄 Seamless Integration: No Rivalry, Only Revelation

    Jewish block logic allows for layers of revelation without violating divine unity. Think of it like this:

    TitleSource of AuthorityFunctionIdentity Claim
    YHWHSelf-existentUltimate Savior“I am God”
    MessiahAnointed by YHWHAgent of Salvation“Sent by God”

    Thus, Messiah being called “Savior” is not a theological breach, but a prophetic fulfillment. It’s YHWH acting through His chosen vessel—whether Moses, David, or the Messiah—to redeem His people.

     

    “I, I am YHWH, and besides Me there is no savior.” (Isaiah 43:11)

    “Yet I am YHWH your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no god but Me; for there is no savior besides Me.” (Hosea 13:4)

    “There is no other god besides Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none besides Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.”

    YAH Is the Redeemer of Israel (Isaiah 45:21–22)

    “Thus says YHWH, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, YHWH of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides Me there is no God.” (Isaiah 44:6)

    “Thus says YHWH, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, YHWH of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides Me there is no God.”

    “Our Redeemer—YHWH of hosts is His name—the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 47:4)

    “For your Maker is your husband—YHWH of hosts is His name—and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of all the earth.” (Isaiah 54:5)

    “They remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer.” (Psalm 78:35)

    “For I am YHWH your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:3)

    “All flesh shall know that I, YHWH, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” (Isaiah 49:26)

    “You shall know that I, YHWH, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” (Isaiah 60:16)

    “They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt.” (Psalm 106:21)

    Yes, Joseph—your selections are remarkably accurate and beautifully sequenced. Each verse you’ve listed reflects the consistent biblical theme of YHWH as exclusive Savior, Redeemer, and Sovereign, especially in the prophetic and poetic books. Let’s affirm and clarify a few key ones:

    TruthQuest International LLC; Bible Study Network

    We want to teach you how to conduct a Bible Study in the context of the Hebrew language, logic and mindset, rather than giving you a “Bible-Talk” as the “Replacement Theologians” do.

    (For hundreds of “TruthQuest Bible Studies” review “TruthQuest Asia” on Facebook) here is that link:

    Joseph, here’s a structured teaching post that can be used to instruct Bible Students on how to conduct a Bible Study in the TruthQuest restoration framework, contrasting it with the Replacement Theology model:

    🔍 Conducting a “Restoration Bible Study”.

    📖 Not a Bible-Talk. Not a sermon. But A sanctuary activation.

    ❌ What It’s Not

    We are not following the Replacement Theology model, which:

    • Detaches the text from its Hebrew roots
    • Replaces Israel with the Church
    • Treats Scripture as a devotional buffet
    • Ignores covenantal sequence (Old-Deut 6:25/ New-Hab 2:4)

    ✅ What It Is

    We are teaching you how to conduct a Bible Study in the context of:

    • Hebrew language — where every word is covenantal and symbolic
    • Hebrew logic — where sequence, structure, and sanctuary matter
    • Hebrew mindset — where memory, lineage, and restoration are central

    🛠️ Restoration Study Protocol

    Every study should follow this pattern:

    1. Text First — Begin with the context of actual verse. Where does this teaching start, and finish. Matthew 16:18 starts at verse 13 and runs to the end of the chapter at verse 28. Take the English words back through the Greek and into Hebrew, then look for the connections to the New Testament verse.
    2. Sequence Matters — What came before, in the Old Testament regarding this topic?
    3. Stay in Harmony with the express “Purpose” of YHVH, as seen in Isaiah 14:24-27 He sent “HIS WORD” on a recovery mission to take back “JURISDICTION” from Satan, who acquired it when Adam sinned. This is fulfilled in Matthew 28:18 when he says: “…All (jurisdictional power) is given me…”. We see this clearly in Paul’s mission statement found in Acts 26:18.
    4. Messianic Prophecies must NOT be discarded— Build your foundation upon the top prophecies that hold “doctrinal weight”, and not just interesting facts. Matthew 16:13 refers to the Daniel 7:13-14 “Son of Man” prophecy where he will be given a Kingdom, and jurisdictional power. The “Gospel” is YHVH’s offer to mankind to switch kingdoms. (See Col 1:13)
    5. Reject the urge to “SPECULATE”. There is one God, who has both “HIS SPIRIT” and “HIS WORD”. Leave it there. Why?
    • “The secret things belong to YHVH our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29) This verse draws a clear boundary: Secret things belong under Divine prerogative. Not for speculation. Revealed things belong under Human responsibility.

    🔍 Study Objective

    Trace the covenant promises made to David and discover how every believer is grafted into his royal line through Yeshua, the Son of David. Let each student build their own sanctuary station by mapping these verses.

    📜 Verses to Investigate

    1. Psalm 13 —

    • v.6 — “I will sing to YHVH…”

    2. 1 Chronicles 17:10–15 — The Covenant Confirmed

    • v.10 — “YHVH will build you a house.”
    • v.12 — “I will establish his throne forever.”
    • v.13 — “I will be his Father, and he will be My son.”

    Messianic blueprint: The throne, the son, the eternal reign.

    3. Luke 1:32–33 — The Fulfillment Declared

    • “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.
      The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
      and He will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever;
      His kingdom will never end.”

    Gabriel confirms: Yeshua inherits David’s throne. The covenant is alive.

    4. Luke 18:38 — The Cry of Recognition

    • “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

    The blind man sees what others miss: Messiah is David’s heir. Mercy flows from lineage.

    5. Romans 1:3–4 — Legal Lineage

    • “Concerning His Son… descended from David according to the flesh…”

    Paul affirms: Messiah’s Davidic descent is essential to His messianic identity.

    6. Galatians 3:29 — Grafted In

    • “If you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to the promise.”

    Through Messiah, we inherit the promises made to David and Abraham. We are family.

    7. Revelation 22:16 — The Final Seal

    • “I am the Root and the Offspring of David…”

    Messiah is both source and heir. The covenant begins and ends with Him.

    🛠️ Restoration Tasks

    Let each Bible Student:

    1. Trace the covenant from David to Messiah
    2. Mark the rejoicing in YHVH Psalm 13
    3. Link mercy to lineage in Luke 18
    4. Confirm identity through Galatians 3 and Romans 1
    5. Build a sanctuary station titled “In David’s Family—Why?”
    6. Transmit the truth to others you are in contact with.

    🙌 Closing Reflection

    We are not spiritual orphans. We are heirs.
    Psalm 13 is victory.
    1 Chronicles 17 is our covenant.
    Luke 1 is our confirmation.
    Luke 18 is our mercy.
    Galatians 3 is our adoption.
    Revelation 22 is our seal

    Next is a study done by one of the two Copilots for you to evaluate.

    📜 Promises Made to King David by YHVH

    Text Foundation: 1 Chronicles 17:10–15

    🔍 Introduction

    In this pivotal passage, YHVH speaks through the prophet Nathan to King David, delivering a covenant that transcends time. These promises are not merely political—they are messianic, eternal, and restorative. This study explores the depth of that covenant and its implications for Israel, the Messiah, and global restoration.

    🏛️ Context: David’s Desire vs. God’s Design

    David, settled in his palace, desires to build a house for the Ark of the Covenant. But YHVH reverses the initiative:

    “You are not the one to build Me a house…” (v.10)
    Instead, God promises to build David a house—a dynasty.

    🔐 Covenant Promises (vv.10–15)

    1. 🛡️ Divine Protection

    “I will subdue all your enemies.” (v.10)
    YHVH guarantees David security—not just militarily, but spiritually. This is a shield for the lineage.

    2. 🏗️ A House Built by YHVH

    “YHVH will build you a house.” (v.10)
    This is not architectural—it’s dynastic. The “house” is a lineage, a throne, a messianic promise.

    3. 👑 A Son to Reign

    “I will raise up your offspring… and I will establish his kingdom.” (v.11)
    This refers to Solomon in the immediate sense, but prophetically to the Messiah—Yeshua, son of David.

    4. 🕍 A Temple Builder

    “He will build a house for Me.” (v.12)
    Solomon builds the physical temple. The Messiah builds the eternal sanctuary—restoring hearts and nations.

    5. 🔒 Eternal Throne

    “I will establish his throne forever.” (v.12)
    This is the Davidic covenant. It anchors the messianic expectation and confirms the Jewish Messiah’s eternal reign.

    6. 🤝 Father–Son Relationship

    “I will be his Father, and he will be My son.” (v.13)
    This echoes Psalm 2 and Hebrews 1. It’s a divine adoption—fulfilled in the Messiah.

    7. 🩹 Mercy and Correction

    “I will not take My love away… I will set him over My house and kingdom forever.” (vv.13–14)
    Unlike Saul, David’s line receives enduring mercy. Even in discipline, the covenant remains.

    🧠 Restoration Implications

    This covenant is the backbone of your sanctuary grid, Joseph. It affirms:

    • The Messiah’s legal right to reign
    • The restoration of memory through structured recall
    • The eternal architecture of discipleship and sanctuary design

    🙌 Response and Reflection

    David’s reaction (vv.16–27) is one of awe and humility. He recognizes the magnitude of YHVH’s promises and responds with worship.
    Let every Bible Student do the same. Receive the covenant not as history, but as living architecture.

    🙌 Final Instruction

    Our studies require work, but that is okay. We do not “EMPTY OURSELVES” and travel into the spooky spirit world to receive “stuff”, and return. This is exactly what the Darkside does. We work hard at learning and then trust that YHVH will turn our moving ship in the direction He wants.
