What is TRUTH ?

Emet/Amet

The way that words are defined have subconsciously shaped how we deal with life and those around us. When a word is ambiguously defined it leaves room for the interpretation of the individual, and the interjection of bias. When it comes to the definition of “truth”, there are more ideas about its meaning than we would even dare to entertain. Below we will look at the English definition, we will explore the Greek translation, and then finally we will conclude with the concrete Hebrew meaning of the word “Truth.”

Merriam Webster defines truth as :

: the truth
: the real facts about something
: the things that are true
: the quality or state of being true
: a statement or idea that is true or accepted as true

What we see above is a bunch of words added to the word “true”, while still never defining the word. We are still left with the question, what is truth? Is truth just what it means to me? Is truth something I can achieve on my own? While we are still without proper understanding or a concrete definition, lets move along.

In many Judeo-Christian churches the definition of truth is based upon statements made by new testament authors and the messiah. In the greek the word for truth is ἀλήθεια (alētheías). This word is in the feminine. The definition according to The Complete Word Study Dictionary is: true. Truth, reality; the unveiled reality lying at the basis of and agreeing with an appearance; the manifested, the veritable essence of matter. Even in the Greek language we still do not receive the revelation or the concrete understanding of what truth is and what it requires of the believe. Truth in the greek is still abstract and relative and gives no real “truth”.

Finally we will look at the hebrew word for truth. The hebrew word is what is underneath all of these words that we previously looked at. The hebrew thought and the culture is the driving force behind all of the translations of scripture and it is only when we understand the hebrew that we get to the action that “truth” compels.

In Hebrew the word truth is Emet/Amet. The word is spelled Alpeh/Mem/Tav (אמת). The numerical value for this word is 441 (see below). The word translates as “truth” 92 times, “true” 18 times, “truly” seven times, “right” three times, “faithfully” twice, “assured” once, “assuredly” once, “establishment” once, “faithful” once, “sure” once, and “verity” once. 1 firmness, faithfulness, truth. 1a sureness, reliability. 1b stability, continuance.

While that gives us a little more revelation, it is still not concrete. It is not until we look at the actual letters that make up the word that we get the meaning of truth. We find out that truth is not antiquated or fulfilled. We find that truth was, is, and is to come.

There are 22 letters in the hebrew alphabet (Aleph-Bet). The three letters that make up the word Emet are the beginning (א), middle (מ), and the end (ת) of the Hebrew alphabet. This means that TRUTH is all of scripture. Truth is not just the parts that we choose. Truth is not just what we want to accept but truth is all of scripture. If you take away the first letter of truth which represents Yah, then you have the word (met) which means death. There is no truth without Yah and there is no truth without ALL of scripture. The WORD is TRUTH!

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 1:25 (KJV)

Yahshua saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6 (KJV)

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Psalm 119:160 (KJV)

Be cautious of those teachers, pastors, and prophets who tell you that you don't need all of scripture because a little bit of omission is awhole lot of a lie. Take the whole word and mold your life and your understanding to the truth. Take the language, culture, and context and make that a imperative part of your understanding. Leaving out any portion of truth is a fast way to place you right back into bondage to the sin and death that comes with misinformation and disobedience.

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
 

John 8:31-32 (KJV)
 

Some extra nuggets for the nerds!

I mentioned the numerical value of the word Emet as 441. This number is achieved by adding the numbers of all of the individual letters together (Hebrew letters are also numbers). 

The sum of these numbers means:

firmness; certainty; faithfulness; truth; true heartedness.

Study and show yourself approved...a mandate from TMH Yahuah...but...not everyone is on the same level as others...we are to be patient...correct with love...I'm learning Hebrew...to get correct understanding of the changes that have been made to the Bible...Zephaniah 3:9 says :

“Then I will give to the peoples [clear and pure speech from] purified lips [which reflect their purified hearts],
That all of them may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him shoulder to shoulder (united).

You can't stop at just the english and greek translation...we have to dig deeper because the people who translated scripture into the many versions of the bible did so from their perspective...not the perspective of Yahuah...this book was given to the Hebrew Israelite...we have a completely different perspective than the other peoples of the earth...it's an arduous task to get to the root of the word and what it actually means...I struggle...trying to understand...but it's worth it. I've seen quite a few posts since I popped back on fb...that claim they have the true meaning and language of scripture...I check them out...but at the end of the day...it's up to ME to get understanding....ijs

OAN: I recommend you buy other lexicons and study materials beside Strong's Concordance...

I'm asked often about the 7 Feasts Days that Yahuah commanded Yisra'el to keep...especially from those just coming into His truth. So...today I will list the 7 Feasts Days...I will start with the chapter of Leviticus when Mosheh gave us the commandment.

Leviticus 23

Feasts of the Lord

23 And the Lord spoke to Mosheh, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of Elohiym, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My feasts.

The Sabbath

3 ‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of Yahuah in all your dwellings.

The Passover and Unleavened Bread

4 ‘These are the feasts of Yahuah, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. 5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is Yahuah’s Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Elohiym; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’”

The Feast of Firstfruits

9 And Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf before Yahuah, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to Yahuah. 13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahuah, for a sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. 14 You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohiym; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

The Feast of Weeks

15 ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to Yahuah. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to Yahuah. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to Elohiym, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to Yahuah. 19 Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering. 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Elohiym, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Elohiym for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

22 ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am Yahuah your Elohiym.’”

The Feast of Trumpets

23 Then Yahuah spoke to Mosheh, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah.’”

The Day of Atonement

26 And Elohiym spoke to Mosheh, saying: 27 “Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to Elohiym. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahuah your Elohiym. 29 For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.”

The Feast of Tabernacles

33 Then Elohiym spoke to Mosheh, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to Elohiym. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahuah. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Elohiym. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.

37 ‘These are the feasts of Yahuah which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Elohiym, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38 besides the Sabbaths of Elohiym, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to Elohiym.

39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahuah for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahuah your Elohiym for seven days. 41 You shall keep it as a feast to Yahuah for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahuah your Elohiym.’”

44 So Mosheh declared to the children of Israel the feasts of Yahuah.

Below are the dates the Feasts fall on for the year 2017 (Hebrew year 5777 according to the "jewISH calendar...remember...the dates, times, months years and seasons have been changed by the Romans and false jewISH peoples of the world). These are the Feasts that my family commemorate. The jewISH people have added some "feasts" that are NOT Torah based...I personally choose not to follow those....

On the Hebrew/Biblical calendar a day begins and ends at dusk (See Genesis 1).
Accordingly, each of these Feasts begins and ends at sundown.

• Passover: April 11-12, 2017
• Feast of Unleavened Breads: April 12-19, 2017
• Feast of First Fruits: April 15-16, 2017
• Feast of Weeks/Pentecost: June 3-4, 2017
• Feast of Trumpets:  September 21-22, 2017

This walk ain't easy. Sometimes I feel all alone on it...like I've felt my entire life. Sometimes I think this is just the way it's supposed to be. I never had any real close relationships...I feel even more now. But this is my cross to bear. I am learning to be content in Yahuah's love for me. Yes...I feel very lonely at times...like right now...but I know The Most High Yahuah...He is right here for me...so I'll continue to trust in Him and become friends with my big brother Yahusha Ha Maschiach...They will keep me company...all I have to do is open my Eth Cepher and they both will have a word for me...an encouragement...HalleluYah . All praises to The Most High Yahuah.

Psalm 23

YAHUAH is my Shep­herd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters.  TEHILLIYM (Psalm) 23:1-2

YAHUAH is my Shep­herd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures: he leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul: he leads me in the cycles of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.  5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of YAHUAH forever.
