Yeshua the Messiah is the Word of Elohim and is Elohim\u2019s spokesman or intermediary with men (John 1:1\u201314). This is the Bible\u2019s first usage of this phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, the phrase \u201cWord of YHVH\u201d is found some 242 times in the Tanakh. Many of these times relate to the biblical prophets receiving prophetic revelation from the \u201cWord of YHVH,\u201d which was the preincarnate Yeshua. How these prophets received their revelation from the Word of YHVH isn\u2019t always clear.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of Abram in this passage, he received the word through a vision. In most cases, Scripture simply records that \u201cthe Word of Elohim came\u201d to such and such a prophet. Whether it came through dreams, visions, audible voice, or direct visitation,\u00a0the Scriptures usually don&#8217;t say.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, in prophetic circles within the church, seldom do people speak authoritatively and announce that \u201cthe Word of YHVH came to me and here is what I was told\u2026.\u201d Instead, phrases such as \u201cI have a word from God for you,\u201d or \u201cGod told me to tell you this\u201d are used. This is not how it was done by the legitimate prophets of the Bible. They\u00a0actually received direct revelation from the preincarnate Yeshua and who spoke dogmatically and authoritatively as such.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Who and NOT What is the Word of Elohim?',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2016\/11\/10\/who-and-not-what-is-the-word\/',contentID: 'post-9749',suggestTags: '',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genesis 15:1, The Word of YHVH came.
