Ha’Misparim La’Debarim
The Numbers of the Words
by Craig Wm. Peters

Psalm 97 and Beyn-Adam (the Son of Man)

a The Hebrew phrase, “beyn Adam” ( Mda-Nb, bāne ä-DÄM), means “son of Adam,” and is
most often translated, “son of man.” It is far more than just interesting to add up the
misparim value for this phrase. This sum is obtained below, and the values totaled give us
the number 97:
← ← ←
97 = (40) M + (4) d + (1) a + (50) N + (2) b = Mda-Nb = beyn Adam = son of Adam = son of man
Consequently, we will show it is no mere coincidence Tehillah 97 provides us a prophetic
revelation into the working of hwhy through the Ultimate Son of Man: eswhy the Messiah.
On many occasions, the Messiah called Himself the “Son of Man,” and we will see when He
did so, eswhy was often speaking in direct reference to this very psalm, Psalm 97! This not
only has profound, prophetic implications for Tehillah 97, it further proves the Messiah
Himself was well aware of misparim and its inspired connection to acquiring a fuller
understanding of the Scriptures. This great song of praise and prophecy is now seen below.
Tehillah 97
1 hwhy reigns; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about Him: righteousness and judgment are the
foundation of His throne.
3 A fire goes before Him, and burns up His enemies round about.
4 His lightning lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of hwhy, at the presence of the
Sovereign of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His splendor.
7 Let all those be put to shame that serve graven images, that boast themselves of
idols: worship Him, all you elohim.
8 Tziyon1 heard and was glad, and the daughters of Yehudah2 rejoiced because of
Your judgments, hwhy .
9 For You, hwhy, are most high above all the earth: You are exalted far above all
elohim.
10 You that love hwhy, hate evil. He preserves the souls of His reverent ones; He
delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Be glad in hwhy, you righteous ones, and give thanks to memorialize His
separateness.

The genealogy of Luke retraces the Messiah’s lineage directly back to Adam:3 He is the Son
of Adam, or the “Son of Man” – the promised Seed prophesied to crush the head of the
Serpent.4 While Eve imagined she had begotten hwhy,5 it was Miriam who would bring forth
the Sovereign,6 the One chosen to bear the Tetragrammaton – the Qadosh Name of hwhy, the
Name above all names.
We will now consider many of the times in which eswhy is seen calling Himself “the Son of
Man.” In doing so, we will readily see He was often speaking in direct, prophetic reference
to Tehillah 97 – the very psalm whose number and order are precisely equivalent to the
misparim of “beyn Adam.” Take special note that, in nearly every citation provided, eswhy
mentions the Son of Man in direct reference to a prophecy which had long since been given in
the 97th Psalm.
The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
Righteousness and Judgment
are the Foundation of His Throne
… righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
Psalm 97:2
eswhy stated hwhy the Father had given Him authority to execute judgment because He
was the Son of Man.7 Because the Messiah humbled Himself, first taking on the likeness of
sinful flesh8 (yet being without sin),9 and because He had humbled Himself to obey hwhy
even to the point of death on the tree,10 His righteousness11 thus became the foundation of His
throne. eswhy the Messiah was worthy to execute judgment because His blameless sojourn
in human form made Him completely familiar with every aspect of what it was like to exist in
a tabernacle of flesh.12 He knows what people feel during periods of tribulation, testing, pain,
temptation, and grief. Hence, He is able to live within the believer and provide strength for
overcoming in all these times of need.13
The Spirit of hwhy declares that one who rules over men must do so in the fear of
Elohim.14 Because eswhy delighted in the fear of hwhy,15 He was/is the Epitome of One
qualified to rule over men. Concerning the judgment He had been given from above, eswhy
said:
22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son: 23 that all
men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son,

word, and believes on Him that sent Me, has age-abiding life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but has passed from death to life. 25 Amein, amein, I say to you: The hour is
coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of Elohim: and they that
hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself; so He has given to the Son to have
life in Himself; 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the
Son of Man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves
shall hear His voice, 29 and shall come forth: they that have done good, to the resurrection
of life, and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. 30 I can of My own self
do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and My judgment is just; because I do not seek My own will,
but the will of the Father who has sent Me. John 5:22-30
According to His own words,17 the Messiah’s authority to execute judgment is directly linked
to His being the Son of Man: … righteousness and judgment are the foundation of His throne.
Psalm 97:2
Irony of ironies! The Son of Man suffered false judgment, yet He remained righteous
through the pain of injustice and humiliation! Of His suffering and condemnation, eswhy
said:
Behold, we go up to Yerushalayim,18 and the Son of Man shall
be delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes; and they shall
condemn Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles.
Mark 10:33
Although eswhy walked in absolute righteousness,19 He still suffered judgment as a
criminal:20 yet this was the very thing which led to the establishment of His throne: He was
taken away in judgment although He had done no wrong. Consequently, because of His
unerring justice, hwhy was obligated to raise up the sinless eswhy 21 to become the Sovereign
of all:
7 He was oppressed, yet when He was afflicted, He opened not His mouth; as a lamb that is
led to the slaughter, and as a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so He opened not His
mouth. 8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away; and as for His generation, who
among them considered that He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression
of My people to whom the stroke was due? 9 And they made His grave with the wicked, and
with a rich man in His death; although He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in
His mouth. 10 Yet it pleased hwhy to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief: when You shall
make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the
pleasure of hwhy shall prosper in His hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of His soul, and
shall be satisfied: by the knowledge of Himself shall My righteous servant justify many; and
He shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He

more emphasis: the truth of these words will most certainly stand the test of time.

transgressors. Isaiah 53:7-12
The rejoicing throng proclaims this of His dividing the spoil with the strong,:
And I saw, and I heard a voice of many messengers round about the throne
and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a great voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain to receive the power, and riches, and
wisdom, and might and honor, and splendor, and blessing.
Revelation 5:11-12
The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
The Sovereign of the Whole Earth
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of hwhy,
at the presence of the Sovereign of the whole earth.
Psalm 97:5
There are many Scriptures which show the Messiah is the Sovereign of all: the Son of
Man is the Sovereign/Lord over all the earth. His jurisdiction involves everything related to
the earth, but with special interest in redeeming the Firstfruits unto hwhy and directing True
Worship in the earth …
The Forgiveness of Sins
The power to heal and the forgiveness of sins were clearly seen as linked together in a
particular incident in which the Messiah’s authority was challenged by the scribes:
And again He entered into Kapher Nahum 22 after some days; and it was heard that He was
in the house. 2 And immediately many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no
room to receive them, not even at the door. And He preached the Word to them. 3 And they
came to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four. 4 And when they could not come near to
Him due to the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it
up, they let down the bed whereon the paralytic lay. 5 When eswhy saw their faith, He said to
the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” 6 But there were certain scribes sitting
there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 “Why does this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can
forgive sins but Elohim alone?” 8 And immediately when eswhy perceived in His spirit that
they so reasoned within themselves, He said to them, “Why do you reason these things in
your hearts? 9 Which is easier to say to the sick of the palsy, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or
to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ 10 But that you may know that the Son of
Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” (He then said to the sick of the palsy) 11 “I say
to you, Arise, and take up your bed, and go to your house.” 12 And immediately he arose,
took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and
magnified Elohim, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” Mark 2:10-12

22
Translated, “Capernaum.”

Some have inquired of the writer about why we are not seeing more miracles in our days. I
believe the account cited above reveals most, if not all of the answer. Which was easier for
eswhy to say to the paralytic?
1. “Your sins are forgiven.” Or,
2. “Arise … take up your bed, and go?” …
Obviously, the first of the two was easier to say. So to clearly establish He had full authority
to say the easier or the two, eswhy also said the latter, the harder of the two: “Arise, take up
your bed, and go home.” Afterwards, the man was immediately healed: he arose and went to
his house. Ruach ha’Qodesh23 signifies that only vessels of His chesed/lovingkindness24 can
be fully anointed to heal the sick and to raise the dead in the Name of eswhy. Apart from
extending hearts of love and forgiveness, we cannot be vessels to show forth these greater
aspects of Kingdom splendor: the powers of the Age to come25 can only be manifested
through the lives of those who walk in love.
Observance of the Shabbat (the Seventh Day Sabbath)
When speaking of His unchanging sovereignty over the Sabbath Day, eswhy said:
For the Son of Man is Sovereign even of the Sabbath Day.
Matthew 12:8
Once more, we see the phrase “Son of Man,” connected with the Messiah’s sovereign rule
over all the earth, only this time His power is shown to extend even over the Sabbath Day and
times of True Worship. Far from having ever changed the Day of Worship, eswhy – the
Messiah of Yisrael and the Savior of all men – asserted Himself to be the Sovereign of the
Seventh Day. With this statement, eswhy upheld the Torah,26 magnified it,27 and showed the
immutability of the Fourth Commandment and the commanded Day of rest and worship.
Any who would know His Sovereign Rule
in their lives must also submit to the Messiah’s
unchanging sovereignty over the Sabbath Day.
Anticipating the difficulties of the End Times, eswhy not only proved the immutability of the
Sabbath would extend across the centuries following His death and resurrection, He showed
His perpetual sovereignty over the Seventh Day would remain unchanged all the way down
through history to the very end of the age. With the words seen below, the Messiah taught
His followers the age-abiding importance of the Seventh Day and the Fourth Commandment:
But you pray that your flight is not in the winter,
neither on the Sabbath Day.
Matthew 24:20

23
The Set Apart Spirit.
24
Matthew 5:7, 23:23, Romans 9:22-23
25
Acts 1:8, Hebrews 6:4-5. The Age to come is the Messianic Age – a period of time which will commence with the
1000-year reign of the Messiah and His set apart chasidim. Revelation 20:4-6
26
Romans 2:13, 3:31, Romans 8:4
27
Isaiah 42:21, Matthew 5:17-20, John 1:17, Romans 7:12-13
5
This shows us the Sabbath Commandment would endure, unchanged, and that observance of
the Seventh Day would still be valid, binding, and authoritative many, many centuries after
the Savior’s death, burial, resurrection, and ascension! This statement, alone, certainly puts
to rest the unfounded claim made by so many that the “New Testament” (as it is commonly
called28) is “strangely silent” regarding observance of the Sabbath Day.29 Given that eswhy
called Himself “the Sovereign of the Sabbath,” how can anyone who believes the Bible
regard such a profound statement as being “strangely silent” over the importance of Sabbath
observance? eswhy the Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and even to the Messianic
Age: He changes not.30 Therefore, He still remains the Sovereign of the immutable, Seventh
Day, and those who reject the Sabbath are also rejecting His sovereignty/lordship, even if this
rejection is in well-meaning, but unwitting ignorance. His Kingdom, power, and splendor31
cannot be manifested in (or through) our lives if we refuse the rest32 which He has created for
all mankind 33 by having instituted the Seventh Day. Since eswhy made all things34 –
including the Sanctuary in time and space known as “the Shabbat”35 – to reject the Sabbath is
also to reject His sovereign rule over all things and, ultimately, to reject Him as the Creator.36
The Sabbath Day is a very part of the creation37 and it is, therefore, immutable. The Seventh
Day was never “changed” to Sunday as so many modern-day preachers presently claim.
Such teaching is without any basis in Scripture whatsoever. “Sunday” is so-named as it was
labeled the “Venerable Day of the Sun,” a day whose origin is laden with the paganism of
idolatrous, sun worship – idolatry which hwhy holds in absolute abomination.38 All believers
in all generations are taught to flee from every form of idolatry.39 This includes every form of
pagan worship, even if it has dressed itself in alluring attire over the centuries so as to appear
seductive and acceptable.40
The Head/Leader of the Assembly
eswhy also holds the sovereign rule over the Assembly of New Covenant believers.41 Yet
we find ourselves continually amazed at those who have dethroned the Messiah42 by lording

28
While “New Testament” is the title used to refer to the books ranging from Matthew through Revelation, we typically
refer to this portion of the Scriptures as the “New Covenant Writings,” or the “B’rit Chadashah.”

the times of appointed worship within time. (In Hebrews 1:2, the Greek word translated as “worlds,” is the Greek word
which yields the English word, “eon:” it is a word which connotes the eons of time, not worlds, planets, stars, or
galaxies.) The special appointments of hwhy are reckoned according to the sun, the moon, and the stars. Genesis 1:14

it over their fellow believers, thus rejecting the Rule/Headship of the Messiah. Serving others
is one thing, but exalting oneself to the position of boss-man overlord is quite another!43
Apart from fasting-derived humility, carnal men will ever seek the preeminence44 trying to
jockey for positions of leadership over others instead of giving all things into the sovereign
Hand of the Almighty. Stories abound surrounding those who have exalted themselves to the
position of the “big shot, boss-man, leader” claiming apostolic/heavenly authority while
obviously lacking any true endorsement from the throne of the Most High.45 Amazing that
when someone comes in his or her own name,46 they are received, exalted, and enthroned of
men,47 but let someone come in the Name of hwhy, and that person is most often treated as the
off-scouring of the earth.48 And yet, this is the way it must be at this time and in this age: to
bring honor to the Name of hwhy, His people will often incur dishonor and suffer reproach.49
Sovereign Over Kings and All Those in Positions of Authority
Kepha ha’shaliach50 declared eswhy to be the Sovereign over all things:
The word which was sent to the children of Yisrael,
preaching peace by eswhy the Messiah:
(He is Sovereign of all) …
Acts 10:36
In the spiritual realm, it is the simple, but profound things which escape us; and it is the
simple things which make all the difference in determining whether or not we will emerge
from this life victoriously; the simple things will determine whether or not we will stand
before eswhy with all those who have overcome. Such is the case with the sovereignty of the
Most High: our sojourn to the Kingdom must be filled with pain, disappointment, and
tribulation,51 but those whose hearts are filled with awe and love for One unseen, will find in
hwhy the strength to endure the trying difficulties and to press onward and upward.52 So we
will do well to consider more regarding the sovereign rule of hwhy in/through eswhy the
Messiah.
How could Sha’ul direct the believers to not only pray for, but to also give thanks for all
men?!
I exhort therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions,
and giving of thanks be made for all men: for kings, and for all that are in authority,
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all reverence and honesty.
1Timothy 2:1-2

42
Of course, the Messiah cannot be dethroned, but setting up idols in the heart (Ezekiel 14:1-5) will certainly dethrone
Him so that He is no longer reigns there as the Sovereign. Isaiah 8:11-13, 1Peter 3:15 Such is the case with those who
fail to give the preeminence to eswhy.

How can believers sincerely give thanks for all men?! It might be one thing to give thanks
for men who are doing their best to serve their fellow man … to give thanks for kings and
rulers who strive to act with integrity and justice, but in this Scripture, the faithful are also
called to make “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving” for the likes of such
men as Nero Caesar, Adolph Hitler, and those in our day who breathe hateful threats of war,
terror, destruction, and mass murder. How can this be? How can we sincerely pray with
thanksgiving for such hateful, inhumane warlords? We can and we must for at least two
reasons:
1. The sovereignty of hwhy teaches us that whether someone is striving to do good and to
fulfill the will of the Most High, or whether someone is bent on evil and lives in diametrical
opposition to the establishment of His Kingdom, as the King of the Universe, hwhy can, will,
and does use each and every life to fulfill His purposes:
hwhy has made all things for Himself:
yes, even the wicked for the day of evil.
Proverbs 16:4
It is amazing to think that regardless of one’s outlook or determination in life, regardless of
one’s position – whether high or low – and regardless of whether one strives to serve hwhy or
to completely oppose Him with blasphemous rebellion, He will use each person’s life to
fulfill His plans and purposes. Sha’ul said it like this …
For of Him, and through Him, and to Him,
are all things: to Whom is the age-abiding splendor, amein.
Romans 11:36
… while King Shelomo (Solomon) said it like this:
There is no wisdom, no understanding,
and no counsel against hwhy.
Proverbs 21:30
No one can successfully oppose, undo, hinder, or halt the plans of hwhy. The best each one of
us can do is to continually bow before the great, Sovereign hwhy in reverent submission and
worship that we might partake in His Kingdom. We pray all of our readers will know and
learn the wonders of finding such refuge in His light-filled Presence.
2. The other reason believers can serve kings, leaders, and all other men in prayer is that
those who overcome in this life will also be made kings and rulers in the not-too-distant
future.53 Such praying is likely one of the major tests used by the Almighty to determine who
will be accounted worthy to rule in the Messianic Age.54 Ruling over others in the fear of
Elohim55 begins with prayer because it is the rule of hwhy through us which brings the
greatest blessings into the lives of others. This is a rule which comes in the Spirit and not

53
Psalm 49:14, Luke 19:12-19, Revelation 5:8-10, 20:4-6
54
The prophecies of Isaiah show the Messiah was made the “Sovereign of all” because He “made intercession for the
transgressors.” Isaiah 53:12
55
2Samuel 23:3-4
8
through the boss-man, overlord system so commonly seen among the Gentiles.56 This is why
prayer is the ultimate in ministry-service:
Prayer is the ultimate in ministry-service to others because, in prayer,
the believer is unseen and unrecognized by men 57 (though well-known by hwhy 58).
And the few fish and loaves which we present to the Messiah, 59 through prayer,
are multiplied by Him far beyond anything which we could ever ask or think.60
Without question, prayer is the most powerful and exalting force in the life of a believer:
prayer calls down the Spirit,61 the rule, and the Kingdom of hwhy into our midst.
Considering the above truths, believers can, indeed, make “supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and thanksgiving” for all men. For it is just as eswhy boldly declared to
Roman ruler, Pontus Pilate:
“You could have no power against Me
except it had been given to you from above”62 …
John 19:11
The One who said this has now been exalted as Sovereign over all, and He will use the best or
worst of kings and rulers (as well as all other men) to fulfill the will of the Father in these
Last Days. eswhy the Messiah is the King of kings,63 and His sovereign sway rules over all.
Sovereign Over Demons Who Tremble Before Him in Fear
The superstitions of pagan peoples will often keep them in a lifetime of bondage to the
fear of demons and evil spirits.64 Those who have had His Name placed upon them dwell
securely without fear of such demons. Demons fear and shudder before His Name.65 Let no
believer in the Messiah be subject to the superstitions and fears of pagans who do not know
and call on the Name of hwhy.
Sovereign Over the Wind and Waves – Including the Winds of War and Judgment
A special incident in the life of eswhy shows us His power over the wind and waves:
35 And the same day, when the evening had come, He said to them, Let us pass over to the
other side. 36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He was in
the ship. And there were also with Him other small ships. 37 And there arose a great storm of
wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And He was in the back
part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke Him, and said to Him, “Master, do
you not care that we perish?” 39 And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to

61
1Kings 18:36-39, Luke 9:28-29, Acts 1:12-14 > 2:1-4
62
This is a great truth regarding the sovereignty of hwhy which we must always remember when dealing with others:
regardless of how we are treated, all things ultimately come from the Hand of a sovereign, loving Creator (Colossians
1:16, Romans 11:36), and He will even work through the wrongs which we incur at the hands of all those around us,
including those who disbelieve or persecute. Romans 8:28, 31, 35-39, Genesis 50:20

 the sea, “Shalom, be still.” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “What manner of man
is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
Mark 4:35-41
The Spirit signifies the One who is sovereign over the wind and the waves is also sovereign
over the wind and waves of a different sort:
Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim,
to a mature man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Messiah:
that we are, henceforth, no longer children, tossed to and fro, and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness,
by which they lie in wait to deceive … Ephesians 4:13-14
Only as we abide in eswhy and His Word/Torah abides in us,66 can we be delivered in peace
from the wind and waves that toss so many. In ignorance, many fall prey to the wind and
waves of false doctrine – the traditions and doctrines of men67 which nullify the ageless,
immutable commandments of hwhy given us by Him through the Torah.68 Many are tossed to
and fro because they do not adhere to the foundation: the written Word given through
Mosheh69 and the Living Word embodied in eswhy the Messiah, the One who was/is the
Torah made Flesh.70
In the Apocalypse, eswhy is also shown to be the Sovereign over the winds of heavenly
judgment, including the winds of war:
1 And after these things I saw four angels/messengers standing on the
four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should
not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another messenger
ascending from the east, having the Seal of the Living Elohim: and he cried with a
loud voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea, 3 saying, “Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we
have sealed the servants of our Elohim in their foreheads.”
Revelation 7:1-3
“Sovereign” means sovereign and eswhy, the Son of Man, is the Sovereign over all.71 In the
midst of joy and blessings, in the midst of pain and trials, in the midst of cataclysmic
judgments, of this fact, we must be assured without wavering.72

 The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
Sowing Light For the Righteous
Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Psalm 97:11
Light is Sown for the Righteous
The shaliach Yochanan73 declared the Messiah to be “the light which enlightens every
man coming into the world.”74 In many places, eswhy promises those who follow Him that
they will be recipients of the light which overcomes darkness.75 The 97th Psalm indicates
light is sown like seed for the righteous. So we are not surprised to also hear eswhy declaring
it is the Son of Man who sows the seed of the Word within the hearts of the faithful:
He answered and said to them, “He that sows the
good seed is the Son of Man.”
Matthew 13:37
After the Messiah sows the Word of hwhy in the heart of the believer,76 it is clear that this
Word grows and multiplies in the minds and hearts of those who abide in Him.77 We see this
in the letter which was written by Sha’ul to the Colossians:
… 5 because of the expectation which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof you heard
before in the word of the truth of the Good News, 6 which has come to you (even as it is also
in all the world) bearing fruit and increasing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard
and knew the favor of Elohim in truth. Colossians 1:5-6
Notice the word of truth was bearing fruit and increasing. The Word of hwhy sown by the
Son of Man bears fruit (the fruit of the Spirit!78) and increases as we abide in eswhy and His
word abides in us.79 In another place, Sha’ul equates these spiritual fruits with the light of
hwhy:
For you were once darkness, but are now light in hwhy:
walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light 80
is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
proving what is well-pleasing to hwhy.
Ephesians 5:8-10
This is “the path of the righteous” which grows brighter and brighter until the full day,81 and
it is the Son of Man who sows this fruit-bearing seed in the hearts of all those who receive His

word. eswhy Himself indicated the remarkable results of this implanted Word growing and
bearing fruit:
“Herein is My Father magnified, that you
bear much fruit, and so you shall be My disciples.”
John 15:8
The words of eswhy show His ministry-service would be bringing in the precise fulfillment
of the Isaiah prophecy – a prophecy which predicted the people of hwhy would be called trees
of righteousness:
To appoint for those who mourn in Tziyon, to give to them
beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of hwhy that He might be magnified.
Isaiah 61:3
A comparison of the two Scriptures cited just above82 will show a remarkable, not
coincidental similarity in wording. The Spirit of hwhy was upon the Messiah making Him the
ongoing fulfillment of this prophecy!83 The Presence of the Spirit will produce the fruit of
the light84 – what Sha’ul and Ya’acob/James call “the fruit of righteousness.”85 Even as
physical fruit is only produced in the presence of sunlight, so spiritual fruit is only produced
in the Presence of the light-giving, life-giving Spirit.86 It all begins when the Son of Man
sows the Word (making His people the planting of hwhy) and the light-bearing seed (filled
with life abundantly) brings forth the fruit of the Spirit.
Gladness for the Upright in Heart
The Son of Man not only sows the light-bearing seed of the Word of hwhy in the hearts of
His followers, when this Word brings forth its harvest, one of the first, preeminent fruits to
appear on a tree of righteousness is joy.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness … Galatians 5:22
This great joy (called elsewhere, “joy unspeakable”87) is the result of having fellowship in the
very Presence of hwhy:
… that which we have seen and heard we declare to you also,
that you also may have fellowship with us: yes, and our fellowship is
with the Father, and with His Son: eswhy the Messiah. And these
things we write, that your joy may be made full.

This is why Sha’ul directed believers to, “Rejoice always!” in the same breath as instructing
them to “Pray without ceasing:”88 apart from continual prayer and fellowship with hwhy,
there is no true, lasting joy. eswhy also clearly showed joy would result from our times of
prayer-fellowship with the Father:
Until now, you have asked nothing in My Name: ask,
and you shall receive, that your joy may be full.
John 16:24
7 If you abide in Me,89 and My words abide in you, you shall ask
what you will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father magnified,
that you bear much fruit; so shall you be My disciples. 9 As the Father has loved
Me, so I have loved you: you continue in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments,
you will abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments,
and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy
might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John 15:7-11
Authentic joy is not the superficial type so often seen in religious circles. All too often, a
false joy is exuded by so many who simply feel they must paste a smile on their faces and
sport superficial levity simply to be accounted as “spiritual” or “victorious.” True joy,
however, is a joy which wells up in the Spirit from the innermost being.90 True joy is not
derived from the things of this world,91 but from being in the all-powerful, yet loving
Presence of the Most High.92 The joy which rejoices at abiding in the Presence of hwhy
through prayer, is also the very same joy which rejoices in working righteousness:
You meet him that rejoices and does righteousness,
those that remember You in Your ways … Isaiah 64:5
True joy is the joy which celebrates in the unstoppable, sovereign plans of a loving,
Sovereign Creator; and part of this joy is derived from partaking in righteousness even when
those around us seemingly prosper while doing evil. Authentic joy can be ours daily through
prayer and obedience, but it is also intended to be expressed before hwhy at special times
which He has set apart for joy and thanksgiving: the Elohim of all flesh93 fully intends His
people to express this gratitude-derived joy when appearing before Him at the Appointed
Feasts:
And you shall rejoice before hwhy your Elohim: you, and your son,
and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and
the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless,
and the widow, that are among you, in the place which hwhy
your Elohim has chosen to place His Name there.

13
Many other Scriptures indicate that rejoicing before hwhy is a key aspect of these perpetual,
age-abiding festivals.94 If some think the Feasts of hwhy are “optional,” we exhort you to
reconsider: Israel’s ingratitude – expressed by their failure/refusal to observe festivals – also
led to their captivity. Mosheh prophesied of this captivity with the following words of
warning:
47 Because you did not serve hwhy your Elohim with joyfulness,
and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things, 48 therefore,
you wiall serve your enemies which hwhy shall send against you: in hunger,
and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things; and He will
put a yoke of iron upon your neck, until He has destroyed you.
Deuteronomy 28:47-48
As further proof that festivals were (and still are) intended to be times of rejoicing and
gratitude, we see it was on the Trumpets Memorial, the Festival of Trumpets, that Ezra
commanded the people to rejoice as he declared to them:
… “the joy of hwhy is your strength.”
Ezra 8:10
So we see true joy is the joy which comes from drawing near to the light-filled Presence of
the Most High. In this case, we hear of His special Presence which abides with us when we
rejoice in hwhy at the Feasts. This is the joy which can be ours at every season, even as David
has written:
You will show me the path of life: in Your Presence
is fullness of joy; at Your right hand there
are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:11, 1John 1:3-4
Who will find joy in drawing near to the magnificent Presence of hwhy in the heavens? Only
those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.95 The Messiah gives us true joy by giving us
direct access (through His shed blood96) to the loving, light-filled Presence of the Most High.
The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
Worshipped by the Messengers/Elohim Who are Subject to His Word
Let all those be put to shame that serve graven images,
that boast themselves of idols: worship Him, all you elohim.
Psalm 97:7
The Son of Man is the ruler of all the heavenly messengers. The writer to the Hebrews
informs us:
And again, when He brings in the first-born into the world,
He says, “And let all the messengers of Elohim worship Him.”
Hebrews 1:6

94
Deuteronomy 12:12,18, 14:26, 16:11,15, 26:10-11. We notice joy and rejoicing in hwhy at His Feasts of is one of the
main sources of joy in hwhy as seen throughout the Torah and the Prophets.
95
Psalm 42:1-2, 63:1-2, Matthew 5:6
96
Hebrews 10:19-22, 7:25-28, 2:14-17.
14
This was certainly the case, even as indicated by Luke:
And the messenger said to them, “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you
good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the peoples: for there is born to you
this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah of hwhy. And this is
the sign for you: you shall find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying
in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the messenger a multitude of the
heavenly host praising Elohim, and saying, “Splendor to Elohim in the highest,
and on earth peace among men in whom He is well pleased.”
Luke 2:10-14
That the Messiah is the Sovereign Ruler and Owner of the Heavenly Messengers is seen in
His own words – words which once more refer back to Tehillah 97, as He connects the title
“Son of Man” with those messengers who worship Him:
The Son of Man shall send forth His messengers,
and they shall gather out of His Kingdom all things
that offend, and those which do iniquity …
Matthew 13:41
We see this connection once again in the Savior’s words to Nathaniel:
And He said to him, “Amein, amein, I say to you,
Hereafter you will see heaven open, and the messengers of Elohim
ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
John 1:51
And we see this yet again when eswhy speaks of who He will confess and who He will
disown before the set apart messengers:
Also I say to you, “Whoever will confess Me before men, him shall
the Son of Man also confess before the messengers of Elohim, but he that denies Me
before men shall be denied before the messengers of Elohim.”
Luke 12:8-9
The Messiah was chosen to bear the Name of hwhy: it was this impartation of the Name
(which occurred at His first ascension97) by which hwhy, the Father, made the Son “Sovereign
of All;” it was at this time that eswhy was given, “All authority in heaven and on earth.”98 So
it is we read of the Messiah in Hebrews:
Being made so much better than the messengers, as He has,
by inheritance, obtained a more excellent Name than they.
Hebrews 1:4
The Name described as, “more excellent,” was the Name above all names: the blessed,
Qadosh Name of hwhy. This is His age-abiding Name, and His memorial to all generations.99

 The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
Exalted as hwhy, Far Above All Elohim
For You, hwhy, are Most High above all the earth:
You are exalted far above all elohim.
Psalm 97:9
We have just seen how eswhy was exalted as “the Sovereign of All” when He was declared to
be the Son of hwhy100 with power by the resurrection from the dead.101 It was at this time that
eswhy asked for, and was given,102 all authority in heaven and on earth.103 Being a Son in the
fullest sense, the Name of hwhy was fully bestowed upon the Messiah.
Before and After
There are Scriptures which indicate eswhy bore the Name of hwhy both before and after His
coming to the earth. But upon coming to earth, it was needful for Him to empty Himself:104
though He was rich beyond measure in the splendor He shared with the Father “before the
world was,”105 eswhy became poor for our sakes:106 He divested Himself of His heavenly
splendor as He partook of blood and flesh, that through His death,107 mankind could be
restored to life and fellowship with hwhy the Father.108 To better understand the prophecy of
Psalm 97 seen in the opening of this present section, we consider Scriptures which show His
position with hwhy both before and after He came to earth to redeem man and to draw/restore
all things back to Himself.109
High and Lifted Up
The vision of Isaiah leads us to a further understanding of these things:
1 In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Sovereign sitting upon a throne,
high and lifted up; and His train filled the temple. 2 Above Him stood the seraphim:
each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet,
and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another, and said, “Qadosh, qadosh, qadosh,
is hwhy of hosts: the whole earth is full of His splendor. 4 And the foundations of
the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled
with smoke. 5 Then I said, “Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a
man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:
for my eyes have seen the King, hwhy of hosts.
Isaiah 6:1-5
We assert Isaiah saw the Messiah in His heavenly splendor before the time He came to earth.
We know this for at least three reasons:

109
John 12:32, Colossians 1:16-20
16
1. eswhy said to the disciples: “What if you shall see the Son of Man ascend up where He
was before?” John 6:62 The Savior clearly taught He had previously been above all things,
sharing splendor with the Father even before the world was.110 As He said to the Pharisees:
“Amein, amein, I say to you: before Abraham was born, I am.” John 8:58
Herein eswhy was revealing Himself as the “I Am,” the One ancient Israel knew as “hwhy.”
2. Further, Yochanan directly informs us of the incident in question; this apostle tells us
Isaiah had seen the pre-incarnate Messiah in His heavenly splendor. John 12:41111
3. Finally, we assert Isaiah had seen the Son of hwhy (the One whose Name the prophet
declared to be “hwhy”) because Yochanan tells us: “No man has seen Elohim at any time.”112
Thus, Isaiah could not have seen hwhy the Father, and we conclude he saw hwhy the Son.
There are many other instances in which hwhy was seen by men; since they could not have
been seeing hwhy the Father, we conclude they were seeing hwhy the Son,113 or the “Lesser
hwhy” as He is known among some Jewish sages.114 The only begotten Son, in the bosom of
the Father, He has declared Him:115 it has always been the Son who declared the Father, even
before He came to earth in the flesh.
Exalted Far Above All Elohim
After eswhy overcame sin and death, He was once again exalted far above all things:
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to
the working of His mighty power, 20 which He worked in the Messiah, when He raised Him
from the dead, and set Him at His own Right Hand in the heavenly places: 21 far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in
this age, but also in that which is to come: 22 and put all things under His feet, and gave
Him to be the Head over all things to the Assembly, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him
that fills all in all. Ephesians 1:19-23
As predicted in Tehillah 97, the Son of Man was exalted far above all elohim. In accordance
with Psalm 97, eswhy had prophesied He would be exalted above all things and set at the
Right Hand of power; not surprisingly, He called Himself the Son of Man when speaking of
His exaltation “far above” all things, and of course, we believe He was speaking in direct
reference to the 97th Psalm:
And eswhy said, I Am: and you will see the Son of Man sitting on the
Right Hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark 14:62
After His resurrection and ascension, Stephen saw the Savior and exclaimed, “Behold, I see
the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the Right Hand of Elohim.” Acts 7:56

All these Scriptures show the fulfillment of the prophecies seen in Psalm 97. hwhy the Son,
was exalted far above all things. We close with yet one more Scripture which conveys the
very same thing:
9 Wherefore Elohim has also highly exalted Him,116 and given Him
a Name which is above every name: 10 that at the Name of eswhy every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth;
11 and that every tongue should confess that hwhy is eswhy the Messiah,
to the splendor of Elohim the Father. Philippians 2:10-11
The Son of Man is hwhy, the Most High above all the earth, and He has been exalted far
above all elohim. Psalm 97:9
The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
The Heavens Declare His Righteousness
The heavens declare His righteousness …
Psalm 97:6
Received by the Heavens
When eswhy was raised from the dead and exalted to the Right Hand of Power, the
heavens declared His righteousness: He had overcome death and was exalted far above all
things – above all principality, power, dominion, and every name that is named; not only in
this age, but also in the Messianic Age to come.117 As He was worthy of exaltation above the
heavens, it can be safely said that the heavens thus declared His righteousness. Of this
exaltation, the writer to the Hebrews stated:
Who being the brightness of His splendor, and the express image of His person, and
upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat
down on the Right Hand of the Majesty on high … Hebrews 1:3
And just as was seen in the letter of Sha’ul to the Philippians,118 the Name above all names
was bestowed upon the Son of Man at the time He was exalted far above all elohim:
Being made so much better than the angels/messengers,
as He has, by inheritance, obtained a more excellent Name than they.
Hebrews 1:4
Kepha ha’shaliach119 likewise indicated the heavens declared the Messiah’s righteousness as
He had ascended above all things until His enemies should be subdued by the Hand of hwhy:
32 This eswhy has Elohim raised up, of which we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore, being by
the Right Hand of Elohim exalted, and having received from the Father the promise of Ruach
ha’Qodesh, He has shed this forth, which you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend
into the heavens, but he said himself, “hwhy said to my Sovereign, ‘You sit on My right hand,
35 until I make Your enemies Your footstool.’” 36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know

assuredly, that Elohim has made that same eswhy whom you have impaled, both hwhy and
the Messiah. Act 2:32-36, 3:22
The Sign of the Son of Man Appears in the Heavens
There is yet another way in which the heavens will declare the righteousness of the Son of
Man. This, too, will be a fulfillment of the prophecies seen in Psalm 97. eswhy prophesied
that, just before His descent from on high, the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the
heavens. At His return to more fully establish the Kingdom on earth, the heavens will declare
His righteousness with the appearance of this great sign:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven,
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of
heaven with power and great splendor.
Matthew 24:30
At what point in the prophetic timeline will the heavens thus declare His righteousness?
When will this sign of the Son of Man appear in the heavens? We believe this great sign will
appear when eswhy, as the Sovereign Ruler of all, rolls up the heavens like a scroll:
8 But to the Son, He says, “Your throne, Elohim, is to the Age and beyond: a scepter of
righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness, and hated
iniquity; therefore Elohim, even Your Elohim, has anointed You with the oil of gladness
above Your companions.” 10 And, “You, hwhy, in the beginning have laid the foundation of
the earth; and the heavens are the works of Your hands: 11 they will perish; but You remain;
and they will all grow old as does a garment; 12 and as a vesture You will fold them up, and
they shall be changed: but You are the same, and Your years will not fail.” Hebrews 1:8-12
When the Son of Man rolls up, or folds up, the heavens, His wrath will be fully revealed from
above,120 and the wicked shall flee from before Him in fear and terror. To remove all doubt
that it is the Son of Man who is to roll up the heavens like a scroll, we are told this once more
in the Revelation: Yochanan not only saw One like a Son of Man,121 this Son of Man was,
and is, the Sovereign Messiah; He was the One who was seen by John, in a vision of the
future, opening the seals in heaven and thereby releasing the wrath and vengeance of hwhy El
Shaddai upon the rebellious, unrepentant inhabitants of the earth; He is the One who will fold
up the heavens, causing them to retreat like a scroll:
12 And I beheld when He had opened the Sixth Seal, and, behold, there was a great
earthquake; and the Sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs when she
is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together;
and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth,
and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains,
16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that

120
Romans 1:18
121
Revelation 1:12-18, 14:14
19
sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17 For the great day of His wrath has
come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:12-17
Unlike any other time in history, when the sign of the Son of Man appears in the heavens, the
heavens will be declaring His righteousness! The mighty man will weep bitterly122 in the day
upon which the Sovereign eswhy reveals His power and wrath from the Throne of hwhy set in
the heavens123 to subdue all the enemies of Elohim. Kepha ha’shaliach declares of this time
that “the heavens will dissolve with fervent heat.”124 It is a time against which we must be
prepared by walking before hwhy in reverence and awe.125 Those readers seeking to better
understand the vengeance seen in the Apocalypse,126 must realize this great outpouring of the
wrath of hwhy can be summed up in a single Scripture – a text seen in the 119th Psalm:
It is time for hwhy to act, for they have
made void Your Torah.
Psalm 119:126
hwhy is stirred to act with the wrath seen in the Revelation prophecies because of the false
worship and idolatry127 which will have then completely filled and completely defiled the
earth.128 In the present, religious leaders will continue to throw around unfounded traditions
and theological theories, but the day of the wrath of hwhy El Shaddai will put an end to all the
proud hypothesizing: in that day, His ageless Torah will stand unchallenged. After the day
of visitation, the few inhabitants of the world who remain will then be prepared to learn
righteousness.129 As we say in America, “They’ll be all ears.” In that day, and at that time, it
will be just as Isaiah stated:
... “and hwhy alone will be exalted in that day.” 130

The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):

Coming on the Clouds of Heaven
Clouds and darkness are round about Him,
righteousness and judgment are the
foundation of His throne.
Psalm 97:2
The Ninety-Seventh Psalm proclaimed “clouds and darkness” would surround the
Sovereign hwhy, and once more, we hear the prophecies of eswhy declaring something of the
Son of Man which had long-since been predicted in this prophetic song:

and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of
heaven with power and great splendor.
Matthew 24:30
And eswhy said, I Am: and you shall see the Son of Man
sitting on the Right Hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark 14:62
At the ascension of eswhy, after He had been taken up into the clouds, those first believers,
who witnessed Him going up into the clouds, were spoken to by a heavenly messenger.
Consider the account in light of the above Scriptures:
9 And when He had said these things, as they were looking, He was taken up;
and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they were looking
steadfastly into heaven as He went, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven?
This eswhy, who was received up from you into heaven shall so come in like
manner as you beheld Him going into heaven.”
Acts 1:9-10
The prophecies of the Messiah’s return (including the one in Psalm 97) all indicate He will
come on the clouds of heaven. As He went, so shall He return!131
Behold, He comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him,
and they that pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth
shall mourn over Him. Even so, amein.
Revelation 1:7, Zechariah 12:10

The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):

A Fire Goes Before Him and Burns Up His Enemies Round About
A fire goes before Him, and burns up His enemies round about.
4 His lightning lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the Presence of hwhy,
at the presence of the Sovereign of the whole earth.
Psalm 97:3-5
These prophetic oracles from Psalm 97 add many more details to those things which relate
to the return of the Messiah: Great, overwhelming cataclysms will accompany this time
period as hwhy takes vengeance upon His enemies.132 And once more, we see the prophecies
of Psalm 97 revealed and eventually fulfilled by none other than the Son of Man.
A Fire Goes Before Him and Burns Up His Enemies
Many people make the mistake of only viewing the disposition of the Messiah when He
walked upon the earth: Like a lamb, He was meek and humble as He went about displaying

love and forgiveness; He healed, forgave, and restored.133 His Offering on the tree would
ultimately epitomize this selfless love. While He continues to display all these great
blessings towards those who love and serve Him, the world is about to see there is another
side to the Lamb:
1 Who is this that comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is
magnificent in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? I that speak in
righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Why are You red in Your apparel, and Your garments like
him that treads in the winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there
was no one with Me: for I will tread them in My anger, and trample them in My fury; and
their blood shall be sprinkled upon My garments, and I will stain all My raiment. 4 For the
day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. Isaiah 63:1-4
This Scripture is a revelation of the anger and wrath of hwhy which will soon be known the
world over through One who is not only called “the Lamb,” but through One who is also
called “the Lion of the tribe of Yehudah.”134 Because He was the sinless Lamb of hwhy, He
has also been exalted to be the One who executes the fiercest vengeance which will ever
come forth from the throne of the Almighty. Words cannot describe the cataclysmic
judgments which are soon to come upon the whole earth for its blatant rebellion against the
ageless, immutable Torah of hwhy El Shaddai. The day of vengeance prophesied by Isaiah
was seen once more through the prophecies of Yochanan given in the Revelation. It is the
robe of eswhy which is dipped in the blood of the Almighty’s vengeance:
11 And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He that sat thereon called
Faithful and True; and in righteousness He does judge and make war. 12 And His eyes are a
flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a Name written which no
one knows but He Himself. 13 And He is arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood:135 and
His name is called “The Word of Elohim.” 14 And the armies which are in heaven followed
Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. 15 And out of His mouth
proceeds a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with
a rod of iron: and He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of El Shaddai.136 16
And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name written, “King of kings, and Sovereign
of sovereigns.” Revelation 19:11-16
From the word of His mouth will come flaming vengeance: eswhy will destroy the kingdoms
of this world and all those who have not repented, and He will establish the Kingdom of hwhy
on earth. Isaiah also prophesied of this flaming vengeance earlier in his writings:
Behold, the name of hwhy comes from afar, burning with His anger,
and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation,
and His tongue is like a devouring fire …

2Thessalonians 2:8
His Lightning Lightens the World
The last quoted Scripture mentions “the brightness of His coming,” and Tehillim 97
prophesies of the lightning which will brighten the sky at the Messiah’s descent. Once more,
eswhy refers to His fulfillment of Psalm 97 with these words regarding His return:
For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west;
so also shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
Matthew 24:27
Lightning is seen in the Presence of hwhy;138 it is a very real part of His Presence and
splendor.139 When the Son of Man descends, He will bring that Presence with Him. Just as
was seen upon Mount Sinai, the lightning and splendor of His Presence will light up the earth
and the skies140 when He comes down from on high in an awesome display of power and
majesty:
8 There went up a smoke out of His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth devoured: coals were
kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under
His feet. 10 And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yes, He soared upon the wings of the
wind. 11 He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him, darkness of
waters, thick clouds of the skies. 12 At the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed,
hailstones and coals of fire. 13 hwhy also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High
uttered His voice, hailstones and coals of fire. 14 And He sent out His arrows, and scattered
them; lightning in abundance, and confused them. 15 Then the channels of waters appeared,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Your rebuke, hwhy, at the blast of the
breath of Your nostrils. Psalm 18:8-15
… The Earth Saw and Trembled … the Mountains Melted Like Wax
The earth will quake and the mountains will smoke at the Presence of hwhy.141 Pillars of
smoke142 (i.e., volcanoes) will darken the sky and blacken the Sun.143 Many large-scale
earthquakes of heretofore unknown magnitude will bring down all the idolatrous high places
of mankind,144 and the mountains will flow down with molten lava burning and destroying
large portions of the earth.145 Abortion clinics will be closed forever! False worship will no

overwhelming Presence;148 and the sinners who have rebelled against His Torah will know
they have displeased Him.149
For those with ears to hear, remember when these things come to pass that hwhy has arisen to
judgment: a judgment to save all the meek of the earth,150 to destroy all the sinful kingdoms
of the world,151 and to call sinners to repentance. In that day, hwhy alone will be exalted.
And what shall be the result of the Kingdom which He then establishes? Then will come the
fulfillment of the long-awaited time in which “the earth shall be filled with knowledge of
hwhy as the waters cover the seas.”152
The Son of Man (Mda-Nb):
All the Peoples See His Splendor
The heavens declare His righteousness,
and all the peoples see His splendor.
Psalm 97:6

And We Beheld His Splendor …

At an early point in the writings of Yochanan, the disciple whom eswhy loved153 recorded
this inspired account of having beheld the Messiah’s splendor:
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His splendor – splendor as of the only begotten
from the Father, full of favor and truth.
John 1:14
This is John’s reference to the transfiguration of eswhy, an incident in which he was an on-
the-scene eyewitness. The transfiguration was of such great importance in the minds of the
first believers because they regarded it to be proof positive that eswhy was the long-awaited
prophet who would be like Moses:154 while the splendor of hwhy shined only from the face of
Moses, the splendor of hwhy emanated from every aspect of the Messiah’s being.155 The first
believers held forth this revelation of “the Majestic Splendor”156 as proof eswhy was, indeed,
the Messiah. Having just spoken of this Messianic splendor seen on the mountain, Yochanan
would write a few lines later:
For the Torah was given through Mosheh:
favor and truth came through eswhy the Messiah.

i.e., of all the disciples, He was the closest to John. We say this because other Scriptures indicate the Messiah loved
all of His followers. John 13:1, 34, 15:9

155
Matthew 17:1-2, Mark 9:1-3, Luke 9:28-29
156
(as Peter called it, 2Peter 1:16-18)
24
Contrary to the popular, but erroneous theory that the above Scripture abolished the Torah,
this statement was actually an assertion by Yochanan that eswhy established the
commandments157 and magnified the Torah.158 For whenever Moses is read apart from belief
in the Messiah, a veil remains over the hearts of the people,159 and the Torah can never be
understood in its fullest intent and meaning. But whenever a man turns to eswhy, that veil is
taken away,160 and the light of hwhy shines upon the Torah revealing the Savior’s Messianic
splendor!161 The result? The believer in the Messiah continually beholds the splendor of
hwhy and is transformed:162 the heart and mind are opened and continually renewed as the
Spirit writes the Torah upon the tables of the human heart.163 So this is the truth which John
was actually relaying: while the Torah was given through Moses, it is only through the favor
and truth of the Messiah – the favor and truth revealed to those who believe in eswhy – that
the Torah can be fully understood, kept, and fulfilled.
This favor and truth come only from the light and splendor found in the Presence of hwhy,
and access to His Presence was made possible by the unspeakable gift164 of eswhy, whose life
shined so greatly with the splendor of hwhy:165 for it was His Offering on the tree which
showed forth the splendor and greatness of hwhy to the whole world:
31 Therefore, when He was gone out, eswhy said,
“Now is the Son of Man magnified, and Elohim is magnified in Him.
32 If Elohim is magnified in Him, Elohim shall also magnify
Him in Himself, and shall immediately magnify Him.”
John 13:31-32
The death of eswhy proves the love of hwhy for all people and for all time.166
With Power and Great Splendor
While many have had the opportunity to see and believe on the splendor of hwhy revealed
to the world through eswhy the Messiah, most have refused to hear and to respond. The
world continues in its mad rush away from the Almighty and towards anything and
everything except His Word and ways. Our country has failed to repent after the national
calamities of 9-11 and Hurricane Katrina, and the 40-year probation period – which began
with the 1973 legalization of abortion – will expire in the year 2013. 167 Instead of repenting,
the best we can do is flex ever weakening, military muscle in a vain attempt to fend off our
enemies. Believers should not automatically think the fall of America will necessarily usher

in the return of the Messiah: captivity is prophesied for the End Times168 and this will
evidently be part of the time known in Scripture as “the Time of Jacob’s Trouble.”169
In any case, when the Messiah does descend from on high, as the Psalm 97 prophecy
indicates, “all the peoples will see His splendor.” While the time leading up to this point will
be less than pleasant, the Savior’s return will usher in many changes which will be changes
for the better.170 Once more, referring to Tehillim 97 and the time in which He will descend,
we are assured by eswhy that all the people will finally see the Son of Man in all His splendor
and greatness:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall
see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great splendor.
Matthew 24:30
When the Son of Man shall come in His splendor, and all the qadosh
messengers with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His splendor …
Matthew 25:31
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words
in this adulterous and sinful generation; of Him also shall the
Son of Man be ashamed, when He comes in the splendor
of His Father with the qadosh messengers.
Mark 8:38

Summary
The evidence shows that nearly every major reference made by eswhy concerning His
identity as the Son of Man directly relates, in some way, to the prophecies of Psalm 97.
Many of these teachings were direct references to Tehillah 97 made by the Messiah as He
cited the truth in the lines of this prophetic psalm! This not only has profound, prophetic
implications for Psalm 97, it further proves the Messiah Himself was the Great Teacher of
misparim: He was well aware of misparim and its inspired connection to acquiring a fuller
understanding of the Scriptures. Tehillah 97 is a far-reaching, prophetic revelation of Beyn
Adam, the Son of Adam, eswhy the Messiah. As the Son of Man, eswhy has already clearly
fulfilled certain aspects of this amazing psalm. Nevertheless, we see there are still major
prophecies in this song which have not yet come to pass: There is still much more which
must yet be fulfilled as He returns from the heavens with power and great splendor. The
heavens will most certainly declare His righteousness: the sign of the Son of Man will soon
appear in the heavens after He has rolled them up like a scroll. We read when the heavens are
thus folded up, they will pass away “with the sound of a great noise.”171 This great

26
occurrence is evidently part of what will take place at the opening of the Sixth Seal.172 The
earth will tremble before Him: His judgments will literally shake the foundations of the earth
and will lay them bare;173 pillars of smoke (from volcanoes) will darken the sky; great
earthquakes will bring down every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of Elohim;
tidal waves will destroy immoral, coastal cities and islands steeped in paganism;174 and fire
from heaven will scorch men and burn the earth.
At the Seventh Seal, many other cataclysms will fall, but then the Messiah will come: fire
will go before Him and burn up His adversaries in flaming vengeance; He will descend as the
Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Yehudah, and the breath of His mouth will consume the
adversaries of hwhy. His lightning will lighten the world, and all the peoples will see His
great splendor: the King of kings will save His people, Israel,175 and He will reign out of
Mount Tziyon over all the earth.176 The earth will be filled with abundant peace and joy for
the Millennium – the 1000-year, Seventh Day Shabbat.177
Knowing these things must soon take place, may all of our readers
continually draw near to hwhy through the shed blood of eswhy the Messiah,
the Son of Adam. We have a great promisethat none of those who take refuge
in Him will ever be put to shame.178 Now more than ever, we need the protection
which may only be found in hwhy, the Father, through eswhy His Mashiach 179 –
the Anointed Sovereign of All, the One appointed to build His spiritual
House, 180 and His Kingdom, to the Messianic Age and beyond. t
