In my first article we explored the importance of the Aleph Tav and how Elohim must have created the word first in order to speak into the water let there be light.
IN the beginning Elohiym created את the heavens and את the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Ruach Elohiym moved upon the face of the waters.
BERE’SHIYTH 1:1-2 את CEPHER
And now the question is where did all that water come from any way?
IN the beginning Elohiym created את the heavens and את the earth.
BERE’SHIYTH1:1-1 את CEPHER

Heaven is almost the same word as water with the addition of the letter shin ש. So does that mean heaven is water? Let’s see.
And Elohiym said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And Elohiym made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse: and it was so. And Elohiym called the expanse Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
BERE’SHIYTH 1:6-8 את CEPHER
Okay, so it definitely has something to do with water but here we see the dome that encapsulates the plane of the earth being named Heaven as well. So there are several different instances of heaven but right now we are only really concerned with the first instance that most definitely has something to do with water.
Now mayim the Hebrew word for water is always a plural. Which makes sense really I mean you can always divide even a drop of water in two. I mention this because the addition of a shin as a prefix would mean two of. So, the word heaven in Hebrew could be translated as two of waters. Beforeefore I go any further with this I would like to point out how the Ruach is moving through these waters and if you’ve been reading Noels work you already know that the Ruach is feminine. If not you should check that out before you go any further here. Just go to the three little lines in the top right corner of your screen and click on that. He has a lot of articles on the subject enough to warrant its own topic heading.
So, the feminine Ruach is here with two of waters when the Word is spoken and the Word is masculine. I shouldn’t have to explain that but just in case I’ll refer you to the gospel of John where the Word is made flesh and walked among us and He was most definitely a He so let’s move on shall we.
Back to the word for water “mayim”. It doesn’t always refer to water it sometimes refers to bodily fluids like semen. Or perhaps amniotic fluid. Or in this case both. There is two of waters after all.
Are you still with me here?
Let there be light.
While researching for this article I began to contemplate my own journey on this narrow path.
I have 4 children now. My first 2 from my first wife are now adults my eldest daughter lives far from where I am and doesn’t follow Torah at all but I am still in contact with her and I pray for her. My son on the other hand still lives with me and is not only close to me he has chosen the narrow path along with me and my current wife. Halleluyah. I have a 4-year-old daughter with my current wife and a son who was born in 2021 during the plandemic. At the time we were living in a place in Canada that is virtually void of a Torah community and we were surrounded by church goers that thought we were part of some sort of cult do to our opinion on the importance of the Torah and His name. What’s worse is the fact that no one there thought it was necessary to circumcise our son and there were even laws in place making it virtually impossible to have it done.
So, we sold what we could and packed the rest into a dilapidated old RV that was all we could afford do to a lack of employment and nearly a decade of minimum wage jobs before the plandemic and headed out for a place where we could get my son circumcised.
It was a leap of faith that we thought was important in spite of what others believed about that part of the Torah being done away with. We kept telling ourselves and others that if Yah be with us then who can stand against us and that Yah will provide and he has only not always when and how we expected. It has been a trying experience to say the least.
When we finally landed where we are now and were able to get our son circumcised, we started to seek out a Torah community in the area. Much to our chagrin the Torah community we found rejected us out of hand even in our hour of need. Some because of our stance on His name others thought we were foolish to risk so much in order to have my son circumcised. We are seeing the same sort of division in the on line Torah community as well and it is very sad to say the least.
YAHUAH has provided for us. My son and I have found work here. We have food on our table and a roof over our heads. The only thing we lack is community which would not bother me so much if it were not for my eldest son being without a companion.
And Yahuah Elohiym said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a help meet for him.
BERE’SHIYTH 2:18-18 את CEPHER
Now there are those who would quote the same lawless doctrine that says we no longer need to be circumcised in the flesh and say that it is a good thing for him to remain alone. Well try to tell my son that. Go on I Dare You. That brings me to one of the first commands YAHUAH gave to Adam and Eve.
And Elohiym blessed them, and Elohiym said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
BERE’SHIYTH 1:28-28 את CEPHER
And so, I continue to pray that YAHUAH provide my son with a companion as we try our best to walk this narrow path and realize that it is not for us to make the path a little wider so that others can walk along side of us. There is only one way to bring someone else down this narrow path.
Hear, O Yashar’el: Yahuah Elohaynu, Yahuah is one: And you shall love את Yahuah Elohayka with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart: And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
DEVARIYM 6:4-7 את CEPHER
Be fruitful and multiply.
