In a previous message titled “ELOHIM is 3 in 1”, I pointed out that YAHWEH, YESHUA and the RUACH HA’KODESH are 3 operating as 1 united ELOHIM! And today I would like to share another witness!
Genesis 15:17 (Septuagint)
“And when the sun was about to set there was a flame and see a SMOKING FURNACE AND LAMPS OF FIRE which passed between these divided pieces. In that day YAHWEH MADE A COVENANT with Abram…”
What pieces were these that the Smoking Furnace and Lamps of Fire passed through?
Genesis 15:7-10 (Septuagint)
“And He said to him, I am ELOHIM that brought you out of the land of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land to inherit. And he said, My Master YAHWEH, how shall I know that I shall inherit it? And He said to him, take for me a HEIFER in her THIRD year and a ram in his THIRD year and a dove and a pigeon. So he took all these and DIVIDED THEM IN THE MIDST AND SET THEM OPPOSITE TO EACH OTHER, but the birds he did not divide.”
Notice that a Smoking Oven and Lamps of Fire passed between these pieces in order to make a covenant with Abraham! We see this again in:
Jeremiah 34:18 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“As for the men who violated MY COVENANT by not living up to the conditions of the COVENANT which they made in My presence WHEN THEY CUT THE CALF IN TWO AND PASSED BETWEEN THE PARTS…”
A covenant was made when the animal was divided and they walked between the divided pieces! So, who was it that passed between the pieces and made a covenant with Abraham? After the Smoking Furnace and lamps pass through it says that YAHWEH made a covenant with Abraham, so YAHWEH is the Smoking Furnace as He is a consuming fire!
Exodus 19:18 (Septuagint)
“The mount of Sinai was altogether in smoke because YAHWEH descended on IT IN FIRE; and the smoke went up as the SMOKE OF A FURNACE and the people were exceedingly amazed.”
Deuteronomy 9:3 (Septuagint)
“And you shall know today, that YAHWEH your ELOHIM He shall go before your face: He is a CONSUMING FIRE; He shall destroy them and He shall turn them back before you and shall destroy them quickly, as YAHWEH said to you.”
Psalms 97:3 (Septuagint)
“FIRE SHALL GO BEFORE HIM and BURN UP His enemies round about.”
Who are the Lamps?
Most translations say, “A smoking oven and flaming torch”, but again, the Septuagint says “LAMPS of Fire”, so it’s plural! YESHUA called Himself the LAMP of the World!
John 1:1-4 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“In the beginning the Son was ELOAH (Mighty One). The Son of EL (Mighty One) was both with EL, and the Son of EL was ELOAH. This One was in the beginning with EL. All things were made by Him; and without Him nothing was made, of that which was made. For He is life—this life is the lamp of men. And the LAMP does shine in the gloom; but the gloom and darkness do not have power over it.”
John 8:12 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“And YESHUA said, “I am the LAMP of the world; whosoever comes after Me will not walk in darkness and gloom; but he will indeed have life.”
John 12:35-36 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“Then YESHUA said to them, “There is still a LAMP among you—walk while the LAMP is among you that you do not fall in darkness and gloom. For whosever walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have THE LAMP, BELIEVE IN THE LAMP in order that you may becomes SONS OF THE LAMP.” YESHUA said these words to them and went and hid Himself from them.”
John 12:46 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“I am the LAMP Who came in the world so that everyone Who believes in Me will not abide in gloom.”
Proverbs 20:27 (Septuagint)
“The spirit of man is a LIGHT of YAHWEH, who searches the inmost parts of the belly.”
However, Clement of Rome in his 1st Epistle to the Corinthians seems to have had older version of the Septuagint that makes this scripture ever clearer.
1 Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians 21:89
“Take heed, beloved, lest His many kindnesses lead to the condemnation of us all. [For thus it must be] unless we walk worthy of Him, and with one mind do those things which are good and well-pleasing in His sight. For [the Scripture] saith in a certain place, “The SPIRIT OF YAHWEH IS A CANDLE searching the secret parts of the belly.”
Candle is defined by Oxford languages as: “a cylinder or block of wax or tallow with a central wick that is lit to PRODUCE LIGHT AS IT BURNS.”
So, we have YAHWEH Who is the Smoking furnace and consuming FIRE, YESHUA the Lamp/Light, as lamps produce FIRE for light, and the RUACH HA’KODESH (The Set-Apart Spirit) is the Candle/Light as candles produce FIRE for light! So, YAHWEH, YESHUA, AND THE RUACH HA’KODESH the One United ELOHIM, the Triune-EL, is The Smoking Furnace and Lamps of Fire that passed between the pieces making a covenant of Abraham!
May YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!
