There are many different theories and doctrines about the nature of Elohim. Some try to state that Yahshua and Yahweh are the same being, even though there are almost 100 scriptures to disprove this false doctrine.

1st Corinthinas 15:27 For “He subjected all things under His feet;” but when He says that “all things have been subjected, it is plain that it excepts “Him” (The Father) who has subjected all things to Him (Psa 8:6).

1st Cor 15:28 But when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One (The Father) who has subjected all things to Him, that YAHWEH may be all things in all.

And yet others will try to say that Yahshua did not pre-exist, and is a created being, whereas this theory is also debunked by many scriptures from both the Tanach, and the New Testament.

John 17:5 And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the existence of the world.

However, in Scripture, there is only one clear cut doctrine about the relationship of Yahweh with Yahshua that runs from Genesis to Revelation without one scripture to contradict it. And that is that Yahweh is a family consisting of two members, Yah Yahweh, the Father, and Yahshua Yahweh, the Son.

I will explicitly prove this biblical fact in this article; and I find it amazing that so many who call themselves believers deny this crystal-clear biblical fact and doctrine, when Yahshua calls Yahweh His Father more than one hundred times in the New Testament, and Yahweh calls Yahshua His Son many times also.

So, if Yahweh is called My Father by Yahshua, and Yahshua is called My Son by Yahweh, what else can their relationship be, but of a family unit?

Mat 3:16 And having been, Yahshua went up immediately from the water. And, behold! The heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of YAHWEH coming down as a dove, and coming upon Him.

Mat 3:17 And behold! A voice out of the heaven saying, This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased.

And as a matter of fact, in every situation in Scripture that is dealing with the Creation account, Elohim is always seen as two separate beings, both doing the creating.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth;

As we see from the very first sentence in the Bible “Elohim” created. In the Hebrew language, you do not have an ‘s’ to show plurality, but an “im”. So, the word El or Eloah is singular, and Elohim is plural. And for those who would want to disagree, if you go down to verse 26, we actually even see the pronouns for Elohim being plural, clearly showing 2 beings.

Gen 1:26 And Elohim said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;

Even the Rabbis try to say that the plurality is including angelic beings, but clearly mankind is not made after the angelic beings, but in the image of Elohim. However, the fact that even the Rabbis are admitting that there is no other way to take verse 26, but to see that Elohim is speaking in the plurality is quite an admission that there were two beings involved at Creation.

Also, look at Ecclesiastes the twelfth chapter.

Ecc 12:1 Remember now your Creators in the days of your youth,

Once again, as the reference is going back to the Creation account, the word for Creators is in the plural, denoting more than one being. Let’s take a look at a Creation reference in the book of Isaiah, that is most revealing on this subject. First, we see that from Isaiah the fortieth chapter going up to the fifty-fourth chapter that it is all about the servant, or Messenger of Yahweh, who will be the Messiah of Israel and the world. Then, in Isaiah the forty-eighth chapter we see Yahweh speaking about Creation in verse 13, and then, referencing His Servant in verse 14 and 15.

Isa 48:13 My hand surely founded the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens; I called to them, they stood up together.

Isa 48:14 All of you gather and hear: Who among them has declared these things? YAHWEH has loved him. He will do His pleasure on Babylon; yea, His arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

Isa 48:15 I, I have spoken; yea, I have called Him, I brought Him, and he causes his way to prosper.

Then, amazingly in verse 16, the servant of Yahweh calls the reader to hear something startling. He announces that He was also with Yahweh at Creation, and was sent by Yahweh to be His Messenger.

Isa 48:16 Come near to Me; hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From its existence, I was there; and now Adonai YAHWEH, and His Spirit, has sent Me.

And then in chapter forty-nine it goes on to say that this Messenger/ Messiah of Yahweh will actually be the Savior of the whole earth.

Isa 49:5 And now, says YAHWEH who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I am honored in the eye of YAHWEH, and My Elohim is My strength.

Isa 49:6 And He said, It is too little that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You, my Y’shua*, to be for a light of the nations, to the end of the earth.

So, we see that not only is the Messenger of Yahweh the Savior of Israel, and the world, but that Yahweh even shows that His name will be Yahweh’s Salvation. The word y’shua in Hebrew and Aramaic means salvation; but this messenger, who will be born of a virgin (Isa 7:13-14) will not just be salvation, but will be Yahweh’s Salvation (Yahshua), as all life comes from Yahweh.

Does the New Testament corroborate that Yahshua was a co-Creator with Yahweh, the Father?

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.

John 1:2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.

John 1:3 Everything existed through His hands, and without Him, not even one thing existed of the things, which have existed.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of an only begotten one from the Father, full of grace and of truth.

Col 1:15 who is the image of the invisible Elohim, (Yahshua), the right of the First-born of all creation.

Col 1:16 For all things were created through Him, the things in the heavens, and the things on the earth, the visible and the invisible; whether imperial thrones, or dominions, or angelic orders, or authorities, all things were in His hand and have been created by Him.

Col 1:17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things are sustained.

Col 1:18 And He is the Head of the body, the Congregation, who is the Beginning, the First-born of the resurrection of the dead, that He be preeminent in all things;

Col 1:19 because it pleased Elohim to complete all things in Him,

And with Yahweh’s Messenger, His name must be Yahshua, because He will be a Son to Yahweh and have the family name of Yahweh in His name.

Exo 23:20 Behold, I am about to send a messenger before you, to guard you in the way, and to bring you to the place which I have prepared.

Exo 23:21 Be on guard before Him, and listen to His voice. Do not be rebellious against Him, for He will not forgive your transgressions; for My name is in Him.

Luk 9:35 And a Voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the Beloved; hear Him!

Luk 9:36 And as the Voice came, Yahshua was found alone. And they were quiet. And they reported to no one in those days, nothing which they had seen.

Heb 1:1 In many ways and in various ways of old, Elohim spoke to the fathers in the prophets;

Heb 1:2 in these last days He has spoken to us in the Son, whom He appointed heir of all; and by whom he made the worlds;

Heb 1:3 for He is the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His being, and upholding all things by the power of His Word; having made purification of our sins through Himself, He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Heb 1:4 and He is altogether superior to the cherubs, just as the name He has inherited is a more excellent name than theirs.

Heb 1:5 For to which of the cherubs did He ever say, “You are My Son; today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me.”

The cherubs were not created to be literal children of Yahweh, but Yahshua as the only begotten of Yahweh was a literal Son to Him. That is why cherubs only have the generic title of “El” in their names, such as Micha“el”, and Gabri“el”, but the Son has the family name of Yahweh in His name, YAHSHUA. And what is even more mind blowing is that each baptized, first fruit believer also is a begotten child of Yahweh through belief in Yahshua for forgiveness of sin, and having the Holy Spirit imparted in them by the laying on of hands of a true, ordained elder of Yahweh.

Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of the One having raised Yahshua from the dead dwells in you, the One having raised the Messiah from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live through the indwelling of His Spirit in you.

Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of YAHWEH, these are sons of YAHWEH.

Rom 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery again to fear, but you received a Spirit of sonship by which we cry, Abba! Father!

Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of YAHWEH.

Rom 8:17 And if children, also heirs; truly heirs of YAHWEH, and joint heirs of Messiah, if indeed we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together

This is why it is so important to be baptized correctly in the family name of Yahshua Yahweh for the forgiveness of sins, but also to be begotten by the Spirit of Yahweh into His family.

Mat 28:19 Then having gone, disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son,

This is our great destiny, to now be begotten, like an embryo by the Spirit of Yahweh, but at Yahshua’s return we will shed these mortal bodies, and be a glorified spirit being in the family of Yahweh.

This is why Satan wants to hide the great names of Yahweh and Yahshua, because He knows they are the only names that bring salvation.

Act 4:10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Yahshua, Messiah, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom YAHWEH raised from the dead, in this name this one stands before you whole.

Act 4:11 This One is the Stone rejected by you the builders, the One who has come to be into the Head of the Corner;

Act 4:12 And there is salvation in no other man, for neither is there any other name under Heaven having been given among men by which we must be saved.

In Genesis, the first chapter, Elohim made mankind in His image, to look like Him, and now we must grow into His likeness and character to become like Him, and to rule with Him in His soon coming Kingdom. Yahshua is our older brother, who redeemed mankind back to Yahweh the Father, and paid the penalty of our sins, which was death. And now He is a faithful older brother and bridegroom who loves us and wants to share His inheritance with us forever.

Heb 2:9 but we do see Yahshua, who humbled Himself to become a little lower than the cherubs through His suffering and His death, but now is crowned with glory and honor, so that He tasted death for the sake of everyone except YAHWEH.

Heb 2:11 For both the One sanctifying and the ones being sanctified are all of one nature; for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Heb 2:12 saying, “I will announce Your name to My brethren; I will praise You in the midst of the congregation.”

Heb 2:13 And again, “I will be trusting on Him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children whom YAHWEH gave to Me.”

Rev 5:10 and made us kings and priests to our Elohim; and we shall reign on the earth.

There is no denying it! Yahweh is a family made up now of Yah Yahweh the Father, and Yahshua Yahweh the Son, two separate, eternal beings united by the one Spirit (Ruach) of Yahweh. And also, the wonderful Good- News that He has also set us apart to become His children, and literal family members with Him. What an awesome plan; what an awesome destiny!
