I started calling GOD the Holy One of Israel in 2007. I had never heard of this name for GOD before growing up in a Catholic Church. Christians are taught more from the New Testament than the Old Testament. Therefore, I was ignorant of this name for GOD. I thought this was a name that I had made up for my beloved, holy GOD, who is my best friend who I adore.
Imagine my astonishment when one year later GOD led me to many scriptures in Isaiah in which HE is referred to as the Holy One of Israel. GOD had let me know in a powerful way that HE had placed it in my spirit to call HIM the Holy One of Israel and not myself! Glory to ADONAI.

Later, GOD placed it in my spirit to call HIM ELOHIM and ADONAI. One day I went to visit a Messianic Congregation. I was astounded to to learn that Jewish people use the same NAMES for GOD that GOD has placed deep within my spirit to call HIM! I even noticed that Messianic Jews worship the MOST HIGH GOD in the same manner that ELOHIM has taught me to worship HIM. Jewish people are truly my brother and sisters. I was home at last.

ADONAI Tzva'ot told me that HE is sending me as a messenger to the Jew first & then to the Gentile. Now, I clearly understand that ADONAI had to place it deep within my spirit the NAMES that HIS first born use to call HIM & to teach me to worship HIM as Jewish people (the first born of ADONAI Tzva'ot)do so that they would accept me & know that HaShem has sent me.

"Our Redeemer! ADONAI-Tzva'ot is his name, the Holy One of Isra'el!" Isaiah 47:6 (CJB). Who else is our Redeemer but Yeshua! YESHUA, ADONAI & THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ARE ONE AND THE SAME. This is true.

"Wasn't it I, ADONAI? There is no other God besides me, a just God and a Savior; there is none besides me. Look to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God; there is no other." Isaiah 45:21-22 (CJB). Who else is our Savior but Yeshua Messiah. The HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, ADONAI AND YESHUA ARE ONE AND THE SAME! This is True.

"Thus says ADONAI, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Isra'el: "I am ADONAI, your God, who teaches you for your own good, who guides you on the path you should take." Isaiah 48:17(CJB.) Who else is our Teacher but Yeshua! YESHUA, ADONAI & THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ARE ONE AND THE SAME. This is true.

"Here is what ADONAI, the Redeemer of Isra'el, his Holy One, says to the one despised, whom the nations detest, to the servant of tyrants: "When kings see you, they will stand up; princes too will prostrate themselves, because of ADONAI, who is faithful, the Holy One of Isra'el, who has chosen you." Isaiah 49:7 (CJB). Who else is our Teacher, Redeemer & Savior but Yeshua! YESHUA, ADONAI & THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ARE ONE AND THE SAME. This is true.

"I will feed those oppressing you with their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood as with wine. Then everyone will know that I, ADONAI, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Ya'akov." Isaiah 49:26 (CJB). Who else is our Redeemer & Savior but Yeshua! YESHUA, ADONAI & THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ARE ONE AND THE SAME. This is true.

"Thus says ADONAI, Isra'el's King and Redeemer, ADONAI-Tzva'ot: "I am the first, and I am the last; besides me there is no God." Isaiah 44:6 (CJB). Who else is our Redeemer & the King of Israel but Yeshua Messiah! YESHUA Messiah, ADONAI & THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ARE ONE AND THE SAME. This is true.

"But now this is what ADONAI says, he who created you, Ya'akov, he who formed you, Isra'el: "Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you; I am calling you by your name; you are mine. For I am ADONAI, your God, the Holy One of Isra'el, your Savior - I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and S'va for you." Isaiah 43:1,3 (CJB). Who else is our Savior but YESHUA! YESHUA Messiah, ADONAI & THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL ARE ONE AND THE SAME. This is true.

What Christians call the holy trinity, the Godhead, is the Holy One of Israel, who is GOD THE FATHER, THE SON & RUACH HAKODESH (THE HOLY SPIRIT).

Yeshua Messiah came to earth the first time humbly as the suffering Savior so HIS own did not recognize HIM. It was expected that the Messiah would come with great power in the same manner as King David. An earthly Messiah who would free Jewish people from Roman rule was expected. However, ADONAI's plans are perfect and cannot be comprehended or even conceived by the mind of men. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways," says ADONAI. "As high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9. (CJB).
The Holy One of Israel always does things to confound the wise to let men know that HE alone is GOD, besides HIM there is no other.

When Yeshua Messiah returns, HE will come with great power & glory. All men will see HIM, even those who pierced HIM & confess that HE is ADONAI.

"and I will pour out on the house of David and on those living in Yerushalayim a spirit of grace and prayer; and they will look to me, whom they pierced." They will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son; they will be in bitterness on his behalf like the bitterness for a firstborn son." Zachariah 12:10 (CJB)
"Look! He is coming with the clouds! Every eye will see him, including those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the Land will mourn him. Yes! Amen! Revelation 1:7 (CJB)

"Yeshua emptied himself, in that he took the form of a slave by becoming like human beings are. And when he appeared like a human being, he humbled himself still more by becoming obedient even to death - death on a cross as a criminal! Therefore, God raised him to the highest place and gave him the name above every name; that in honor of the name given Yeshua, every knee will bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth and every tongue will acknowledge that Yeshua the Messiah is ADONAI to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:7-11.

Who am I? I am a lowly & obedient servant of the Most High GOD, ADONAI Tzva'ot. I am a bondservant of ADONAI, an end time messenger sent by the Holy One of Israel to tell humanity about the death, burial, resurrection and second coming of Yesuha Messiah (Jesus Christ). I have been commissioned by the GOD of Israel to tell humanity that Yeshua Messiah is the Messiah spoken of by Moses, Isaiah, Daniel & all the prophets in the Tanakh, which is the Christian Old Testament.

God bless you. Shalom
