1 Corinthians 1:18

New International Version (NIV)

“For the message of ‘the cross’ [the sacrifice (ha-qorban: something brought near the altar, the-sacrificial present, offering, etc..)] is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Angels, etc..].”

In Messiah’s words, paraphrasing, ‘to believe in me is to follow my example’…. John 14:12.

Be near to YH in ‘YH’shua’ (YH, the Word and Works of Israel’s ‘Elohiym, is salvation).

Significance of the Steward’s Name:

YHWH (YH): “Modern scholars generally agree that YHWH is derived from the Hebrew triconsonantal root היה (h-y-h), “to be, become, come to pass”,^[3] an archaic form of which is הוה (h-w-h),^[4] with a third person masculine y- prefix, equivalent to English “he”. They connect it to [eg.] Exodus 3:14 – [ETC..] where the divinity [‘Elohiym of Israel, YHWH] who spoke with Moses responds to a question about his name by declaring: אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (Ehyeh asher ehyeh),“I am that I am” or “I will be what I will be”^[5](in Biblical Hebrew the form of the verb here is not associated with any particular English tense).^[6][7][8]

THE NAME THAT ‘EXPRESSES’ (IS) THE WORD AND WORKS OF ISRAEL’S ‘ELOHIYM:

“I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE”.
