EL ELYON'S PERFECTION!!!

"The seven steps to perfection: 1. Make time with Yahweh El-Elyon, 2. Diligent praying, 3. Put him first, 4. Faith and trust in Him 5. Believing in Him, 6. Apply the knowledge received from Him, 7. Worship Him in spirit and in truth. " (TNDL)

LUCIFER IS CASTED DOWN; ELYON YESHUA MICHAEL TIME

"One should not give the satisfaction of overpowering the earth to Lucifer, because he is casted down from his high place, and now is Elyon/Michael, the Great Archangel's time. He has taken unto himself the great Divine powers of Heaven and is using what is necessary until the great Evil Beast is destroyed in the old-world empire. People should not be like Atlas--try to carry the world on their shoulders, that is for the Most High to figure out, and surely He has. But sure enough, there will be a final battle on earth between GOOD and EVIL. Michael, the Great Arch Angel, and Lucifer, the evil One. However, Michael and his Angels will win. Only the spiritually enlightened one can know these things through the Great Spirit of Elyon. If one is in carnality, one cannot know these things, only those who are spiritually inclined and have the gift from the Most High to discern. (TNDL)"

KNOWLEDGE OF YESHUA/ELYON

"Know the Full Truth and it will set your mind free. Knowledge is power, but a lack of knowledge, makes one powerless. For example, Israel went into captivity, due to their lack of knowledge! Isaiah 2. So, many Christians think they are worshipping Christ, but in fact, they are worshipping the god of the Babylon’s false Christ.” TNDL

IS EL ELYON, THE MOST HIGH GOD, THE SAME AS YHWH, THE ISRAELITE GOD?

#27. Are Yahweh and El the same god OR different gods? (Gen 14:22, 17:1, 21:33; Ex 6:2–3; Ps 82:1 vs Deut 32:8–9; Ps 29:1, 89:6–8)

[A-] [A+]

Recent archaeological, biblical, and extrabiblical research has led scholars working in the area of the origins of Israelite religion to assert rather boldly and confidently that the original god of Israel was in fact the Canaanite deity El.1 Just exactly how has this come about you ask?

First, the name Israel is not a Yahwistic name. El is the name of the deity invoked in the name Israel, which translates: “May El persevere.”2 This suggests that El was seen as the chief god in the formative years of Israel’s religious practices. In fact, the etiological story explaining the origin of the name Israel occurs in Genesis 35:9–15, where Jacob obtains this name through the blessing of El Shaddai, that is “El of the Mountain.”

Second, there exist numerous parallels and similarities between descriptions and cultic terminology used for El in the Canaanite texts and those used for Yahweh in the biblical sources (see below). At some point, it is ascertained, the cultic worship of Yahweh must have absorbed that of El, through which means Yahweh assimilated both the imagery and epithets once used of El.

Finally, there is strong confirmation of this assimilation in the biblical record itself. In the oldest literary traditions of the Pentateuch, it is El who regularly appears and not Yahweh, or Yahweh as El! The patriarchal narratives identify El as the deity to whom many of the early patriarchal shrines and altars were built. For example, we are informed in Genesis 33:20 that Jacob builds an altar in the old cultic center of the north, Shechem, and dedicates it to “El, god of Israel” (’el ’elohe yišra’el ). There is no ambiguity in the Hebrew here: ’el must be translated as a proper name, El.3 The textual tradition from which this text derives, the Elohist, ultimately remembers a time when El was the patron god of Israel.

That El was the deity worshiped at Shechem is also attested in Judges 9:46, which speaks of the shrine of “El of the covenant.” The god of the shrine at Bethel, which literally translates, “house of El,” is additionally El — ”I am El of Bethel” (Gen 31:13; cf. 35:7) — and appears to Jacob as El Shaddai (35:11; cf. 48:3). Jacob has another encounter with El at Penuel, which is so named because Jacob sees El face-to-face (32:31). Moreover, Isaac blesses Jacob through El Shaddai (28:3), and likewise Jacob blesses Joseph “by El of your fathers” (49:25). “El who sees” is given as the etymology of Beerlahai-roi in Genesis 16:13. And we are informed that Abraham journeys to the old cultic shrine at Beersheba, where he plants and worships a tree and calls on the name “El the eternal” and at the same time Yahweh (Gen 21:33). Contrary to Genesis 33:20, where the Shechemite El is presented unambiguously as the “god of Israel,” in Genesis 21:33, El is apparently already assimilated to Yahweh (see below). Finally, Genesis 14:18–22 speaks of “El the most high,” of whom the Canaanite Melchizedek is priest at Jerusalem.

This assimilation between Yahweh and El, or El into Yahweh, is present in much of the Priestly material as well. In fact, the Priestly source largely advocates this assimilation. In Genesis 17:1, the Priestly writer states that “Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him: ‘I am El Shaddai.’” And Exodus 6:2–3, in contradiction to J (#11), has Yahweh assert: “I am Yahweh. And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El Shaddai, and I was not known to them by the name Yahweh.” Although the verse suggests an identification between Yahweh and El “of the mountain,” the verse also subtly recognizes an ancient distinction between the god of the patriarchs (El) and the god of the Mosaic era (Yahweh). But the assimilation is clear here: the patriarchs who worshiped El in the past were actually worshiping Yahweh, claims the Priestly writer.

Perhaps it is necessary at this point to ask: Who was El? And why is he even mentioned in the Bible in the first place, let alone as the god of Israel in the older literary traditions of Genesis?

Our knowledge of El predominantly comes from an invaluable corpus of tablets discovered in 1929 in the ancient city of Ugarit, a major city-state of the second millennium BC located on the northern coast of Syria, modern day Ras Shamra.4 The Ugaritic tablets are the best available witness to Canaanite religion and religious practices, and thus also “to the background from which the religion of Israel emerged, and to the Canaanite beliefs that it shared, adopted, compromised with, and sometimes rejected.”5 The Ugaritic literature depicts El as the sovereign deity of the Canaanite pantheon. He is frequently referred to as “Father of the gods,” “the eternal King,” and “Creator of all living beings.” El’s other epithets include: “El the Kind, the Compassionate,” “the Bull,” “the Ageless One,” and “the Father of Years.” He is depicted as bearded, and residing in a tent or a tabernacle, whose throne rests on Cherubim. He is the god of blessings and of covenants.

Many of these epithets and images later become assimilated to Yahweh. For example, Yahweh is often depicted as bearded, as King of the gods, as Compassionate, and as residing in a tent, whose throne, like that of El, rests on Cherubim. There are, in addition to this, numerous El epithets in various strains of biblical tradition — epithets that through a process of assimilation and adoption later become associated with Yahweh. We have already encountered El Shaddai, “El of the Mountain.” Like Yahweh who is associated with the mountain of Sinai and later in eschatological traditions with Zion, so too El resides on a mountain. Other patriarchal narratives attest the use of El Olam, “El the Eternal” to whom Abraham plants and worships a tree at Beersheba, El Elyon, “El the Most High,” the god of Melchizedek (Gen 14:18–24), and El Roi, “El who sees” (Gen 16:13).

These various El epithets are associated with different shrines: El Shaddai with Bethel, El the Most High, the creator of the heavens and the earth, with Jerusalem, El the Eternal with Beersheba, El who sees with Beerlahai-roi, and El the god of Israel with Shechem.6 Many of these shrines and altars to El were established by the patriarchs themselves (e.g., Gen 21:33, 28:18, 33:20, 35:14). It has also been suggested that the name Yahweh might have originally been a cultic epithet of El! The etymology of Yahweh, yhwh, is still unclear, but one proposal is to see it as the causitive imperfect of the Canaanite-Proto-Hebrew verb hwy, “to be.”7

It is propable therefore, as many commentators have contended, that the early Israelites actually worshiped El through his epithet ‘Yahweh.’ This process of assimilation is usually presented the other way around in the biblical literature: Yahweh is worshiped through the epithets of El: Shaddai, Olam, and Elyon.

Contrary to these biblical traditions that suggest an assimilation between Yahweh and El, there are other passages that seem to indicate that Yahweh was a separate and independent deity within El’s council. Deuteronomy 32:8–9 is one of those rare biblical passages that seemingly preserves a vestige of an earlier period in proto-Israelite religion where El and Yahweh were still depicted as separate deities: Yahweh was merely one of the gods of El’s council! This tradition undeniably comes from older Canaanite lore.

When the Most High (’elyôn) gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated humanity, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of divine beings. For Yahweh’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage.

There are two points to take away from this passage. First, the passage presents an apparently older mythic theme that describes when the divine beings, that is each deity in the divine counsel, were assigned and allotted their own nation. Israel was the nation that Yahweh received. Second, Yahweh received his divine portion, Israel, through an action initiated by the god El, here identifiable through his epithet “the Most High.” In other words, the passage depicts two gods: one, the Most High (El), is seen as assigning nations to the divine beings or gods (the Hebrew word is elohim, plural “gods”) in his council; the other, Yahweh, is depicted as receiving from the first god, the Most High, his particular allotment, namely the people of Israel. Similarly, in another older tradition now preserved in Numbers 21:29, the god Chemosh is assigned to the people of Moab.

Other biblical passages reaffirm this archaic view of Yahweh as a god in El’s council. Psalm 82:1 speaks of the “assembly of El,” Psalm 29:1 enjoins “the sons of El” to worship Yahweh, and Psalm 89:6–7 lists Yahweh among El’s divine council.

Thus there seems to be ample evidence in the biblical record to support the claim that as Yahweh become the supreme national deity of the Israelites, he began to usurp the imagery, epithets, and old cultic centers of the god El. This process of assimilation even morphed the linguistic meaning of the name El, which later came to mean simply “god,” so that Yahweh was then directly identified as ’el — thus Joshua 22:22: “the god of gods is Yahweh” (’el ’elohim yhwh).

Noteworthy also is the fact that unlike the god Baal, there is no polemic in the Bible against El, and all the old cultic centers of El, those in Jerusalem, Shechem, and Beersheba, were later accredited to Yahweh. Since the large majority of patriarchal narratives that speak of shrines and altars to El are found in the northern kingdom, such as Bethel and Shechem, and, on the other hand, many biblical texts seem to accredit Yahweh’s origin to the southern Negeb, the current scholarly hypothesis is that the worship of El in the north and of Yahweh in the south eventually merged. This thesis finds further support in the incident of Jeroboam, who may have acted to reestablish the cult of Yahweh-El at Dan and Bethel via his “golden bulls” (#155). In sum, the biblical literature, spanning as it does hundreds of centuries of cultural and cultic traditions, preserves divergent views, portraits, theologies, and origins of its god Yahweh. We will come across others.

For a comprehensive treatment of the subject see: F. M. Cross, Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic: Essays in the History of the Religion of Israel (Harvard University Press 1973); M. Smith, The Early History of God: Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel (Eerdmans 1990); and W. Dever, Did God Have a Wife?: Archaeology and Folk Religion in Ancient Israel (Eerdmans 2008).

Other names formed with “el” include: Ishmael, Bethel, Penuel. As a further note, no name in Genesis contains the form of Yahweh, which later became the dominant pattern in Israel in the 1st millennium bc. The first and earliest appearance of the name “Israel” comes from the Merneptah stela — an Egyptian victory stela commemorating the Syro-Palestinain conquest of pharaoh Merneptah in 1208 bc. In the stela Israel is listed among the peoples of the land of Canaan.

The Hebrew ’el is often translated as “God.” Although like the Hebrew ’elohim, ’el can be translated as “god,” Hebraic philologists contend that a generic understanding of ’el as “god” is a rather late development in biblical Hebrew. More accurately, ’el without a definite article is to be rendered simply as “El,” the name of a pan-Canaanite (by this term I mean to include a proto-Israelite culture) deity — a remnant of an older Israelite/Canaanite tradition to which a few biblical passages still attest. Mention of El is also found in Gen 17:1, 28:3, 35:10, 48:3, 49:25. In later literary sources, and after Yahweh had adsorbed El’s attributes (see above), ’el came to be understood simply as “god.”

BACK TO THE LEADERSHIP REALMS OF YAHWEH ELYON YESHUA!!!

TNDL: "There are those who have chosen themselves to be leaders in the Christian churches of today, but who authorized them? Is it the eternal father, Yahweh Elyon Yeshua, father, Son and the paraclete (Holy Ghost) --Whose job is it to lead, teach, guide and restrain? Or a man-made hierarchy who were not given the right to lead Elyon Yeshua’s children? Take a look at the first 15-20 years of the early church (Apostle James his brother)--was head of Yeshua the lamb's church.  Who has the right and authority to lead? Was it not the leading of the mighty spirit working as one unified godhead? Was it not the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, the paraclete? Why then, is it the bible and religious elites and scholars leading the Christian Church today and not the Most High El (Yahweh Elyon Yeshua and the paraclete)?" (TNDL)

"TNDL: YESHUA, THE NAME THAT GIVES PERFECT WISDOM AND DELIVERANCE!!!"

"Yeshua, the Lamb said to His disciples, When you pray in my name YESHUA, ask my Eternal Heavenly Father for things that are in His WILL and He will give them to you. You received not, because you asked not in the Name Yeshua, but instead, in other names.

Read (Acts of the Apostles chapt. 4), and know that false Scribes and Church Fathers have changed many names and words for their own self interests. Lucifer, his angels, demons, evil spirits and his earthly agents don't want Yeshua Elyon’s children in His Church to know these things.That is why they, the false teachers and apostles, hide His true original Name 'Yeshua',  from you, the great mass. Call upon the Name Yeshua, repetitively; there are powers in His Name. This Holy Name is the Name that is known in the Divine heavenly realm of the Eternal Father, Yahweh Elyon Yeshua and His holy Angels.

What do you have to lose? You have tried other names that men gave to Yeshua and used when they called to Him, that has not worked.

This Name raised the dead, healed the sick, brought salvation and worked wonders. Why you do not use His true and real Name of powers, Yeshua, which brings lasting CHANGE?"  TNDL

THE INNER LIGHT...

“Yes, just to be alive and well is enough when Elyon/Yeshua the Divine Logos is with us and in us. We are all energies, together we can be strong, however, that depends on what kinds of gas we are using to run our cars. We, the descendants of Adam and Eve, were made for greatness, but along our journey we were tricked by the evil ones in accepting destructive gas in our minds, spirit and soul. That mistake caused us to malfunctioned and lost our way. Now, in the new Renaissance of hope the pure high quality gas will be put into our innermost being to produce a new creation in us, causing us, the collective intelligent energy, to function orderly in the best interest of all through the agape love. It will clean and purifying our minds, spirits and souls. When this new gas is given in our cars, we will find our way back, never to lose it again, because we have learned not to trust Lucifer and his angels nor others, but Elyon/Yeshua, the true Light /Divine Energy. We will turn our lights on. “(TNDL)

THE JUDGEMENT OF GOD MOST HIGH [EL ELYON]

"The righteous judgement of God, Most High, begins first in his church. He is cleaning out the garbage, the mess and the dirt out of the minds, souls, and spirit out of his church (His ecclesia, his body of people) and there is much work to be done! The people of the world is making a mockery of these people who call themselves, Christians. Why? Because of the Christians’ disunity—they are always, criticizing each other. No matter what, you can never take the side of the world against your brethren. Just because you may not agree in how they do things, leave it to the Most High; He sees his servants' hearts, minds, souls and spirits! Even the educated, who have higher education, know that among themselves, they should learn to agree and to disagree, and don't take things too personal. Why can’t some Christians keep those destructive thoughts and ideas among themselves? We are to deny the world in every way. The Devil/ Satan, uses the negatives elements [thoughts and Ideas] against God's Church to destroy it from within. So, that is why El-Elyon has to be cleaning and purifying His Church to make it clean and pure as pure gold and silver are—putting them through their respective process. That is how and why judgement begins first is his Church." (TNDL)

GOD IS A GREAT DIVINE SPIRIT ENERGY FORCE

“Awesome and a wonderful good news; however, make no mistake, this scripture is not referring to just Church going Christians; it is pertaining to individuals whose spirit are born from above, filled with the Holy Ghost and are walking in the Divine Spirit of Truth, which is the Spirit of Prophecy, and is following in obedience to Yeshua's commands. Look at the gospel of John 14.:12-31. Because your Tabernacle is the Tent or House of the living God Elyon. GOD is a great Divine Spirit energy force and only your spirit, which is born again, by the cleansing in the blood of the Lamb, and carrying the Spirit of truth within your innermost being, worship will be considered as worshiping in spirit and in truth! GOD said, be ye holy as I am Holy. Holy means (to be set apart for GOD) When this is done, you would acquire the prerequisite to enter the Spirit Realm and be accepted into the Holy of Holies where El Elyon secret place of the Highest is. Psalm 91. So if you are only a churchgoer and not a holy and obedient follower of Yeshua, the Christ, then, we have a big problem, because like Yeshua, the Messiah said to the woman of Samaria, GOD seeks the true worshipers to worship Him in spirit and in truth, as such worship is required. (TNDL)"

PRAYER IS THE CURE!!!

“Prayer is the most powerful thing we, who know how to pray, have. When we pray, we touch the heart of the Most High GOD. Therefore, let us continue to live a life of prayer, because prayer changes situations, circumstances, for many of GOD's people who need to get out of these problems, that we have from time to time. Yeshua said, we should love one another, and love each other as we love ourselves, and love our neighbour like we love ourselves. So, prayer is the cure for earth's problems. Let us use what we have.” (TNDL)
