Teaching - Elohim
| (If Hebrew letters are unfamiliar, just read through them. In your mind say, "that thing" and read on. You may look more closely if you wish to verify things. It is the consistent use of the meaning of the alphabet in notarikon [1], that shows it is a true meaning. It is impossible for any man to have imposed these meanings after the scripture was written. In the words, the letters are written right to left) | |
| "In the beginning God..." [1] In the first full sentence of revelation God tells one of his names "Elohim" אלהים. The word is not fully understood by theologians and so there is confusion. | |
| Some say that Elohim is a plural noun for eloah meaning 'gods' therefore there are many gods, or it is like the 'royal we' when the king speaks of himself in plural form. But this is a secondary meaning which cannot be applied to all instances. You can see how this causes problems, since God calls men elohim, and there is only one singular God. How do we make sense of this? We will use notarikon. | |
| 'Notarikon' [1] is the ancient Hebrew practice of interpretation where words get their meaning from the combined meaning of the letters within. 'Elohim' אלהים means God 'El' אל separated from creation י (which has been finished by the son ם) by ignorance ה. |
|
| Man is separated from God because they don't know him. When he calls men 'elohim' he is using the primary meaning. It applies to God, since men are separated from him, and it applies to men, because God is separated from them. This is the primary meaning of 'Elohim'. | |
| When judges are called 'Elohim' [1] it is not because they judge like God. It is because they don't judge like God. They cannot judge rightly because they don't know him. So he tells them they are separated from him by ignorance and they will die like men. [2] | |
| Using the same notarikon, eloah אלוה means 'God אל discerned by, or made clear by ו ignorance ה. The ignorance of men, bickering over this or that, drives people crazy to the point that they cry out "It is not supposed to be this way!" By doing so, they are declaring that there is a God whose way it is supposed to be. | |
| When a man or idol is called 'eloah', it says that such a declaration; that the man or idol is a God, is totally foolish and made plain by the ignorance of the claim. It is a god for the foolish. | |
| The Hebrew gate (two-letter 'sub-root') 'El' אל means 'After he spoke and created the heavens and the earth א he taught ל'. Why did he teach? Because men ים are separated from God אל by ignorance ה. Elohim אלהים. |
