The True Essence of the Most High
Introduction
The focus of the lecture is on understanding the true essence of the Most High.
The Bible describes the Most High with physical attributes, leading to debates about whether He has a body.
Key Biblical References
John 1:18
Yahawashai states that no one has ever seen the Most High at any time.
John 5:37
Emphasizes that no one has seen the Most High's shape or heard His voice.
The Greek word "Adas" for "shape" means external or outward appearance.
Old Testament Appearances: Theophanies
Genesis 12:7; 17:1
: The Most High appeared to Abram but as a theophany, a manifestation not representing His true essence.
Daniel 7:9
: A vision where Daniel saw the Most High sitting on a throne with woolly hair and a fiery appearance.
Yahawashai's Insights
Colossians 1:15
Yahawashai is the image of the invisible God, representing the Most High's physical form and characteristics.
Acts 7:54-56
Stephen saw a vision of the Most High's glory in heaven, seeing a fiery figure on a throne, but not His true essence.
The Nature of the Most High
Hebrews 12:29
Describes the Most High as a consuming fire, indicating pure energy.
John 4:24
The Most High is a spirit and must be worshipped in spirit and truth.
Luke 24:39
Yahawashai clarifies that spirits do not have flesh and bones, indicating the Most High's essence is not corporeal.

1 Kings 8:27

Understanding Images and Idols

Cautions against creating graven images.
1 Timothy 1:17

Conclusion
The Most High is a spirit, an all-encompassing energy, and cannot be represented by a physical form.
The human representation is for the sake of understanding, not His true essence.
The Most High's true essence is beyond full human comprehension and should not be confined to a human-like form.
Final Remarks
The speaker emphasizes the importance of respectful discourse and scriptural backing in discussions about the Most High.
