The Everlasting Meaning of Life

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom mishpacha, first: ALL praises to the most high YHWH, baruk h'shem! and "baruka ha'bo b'shem YHWH" >>> "blessed is your coming in the name of YHWH" @ Yahushua.

I pray all is well with you and yours and will soon be even better, according to his will ... todah YHWH.

In this brief edification I wanted to address a topic many take for granted and many others sidestep because they don't understand it or where to find the correct answer, that question of: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE?

If you ask 10 people to answer that 1 question you will probably get at least 11 different answers. You will hear a multiplicity of answers from those that are considered >>> learned to the unlearned, wise to the unwise, studious to the apathetic, scholarly to the uneducated - all weighing in with more of "philosophy" than with knowledge and understanding received by wisdom. Us true believers know life was given to us for more than just to work and play, and we really understand life means more than just "eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die", ( Isaiyah 22:13, Luke 12:19, 1st Cor. 15:32 ).

Another directive that has to be addressed so we don't get the question twisted is we need to focus on the MEANING of life as opposed to the purpose of life or our duties in this life. In Ecclesiastes we saw wisdom presented to us in chapter 12:13, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Elohim, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man". .....~ This statement points to the "duties" of mankind, >>> THIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE MEANING OF LIFE.

To understand the meaning of life we have to first go to the creator of life

( so this in itself will omit atheist from ever understanding life's meaning ).

We read in the set-apart manuscript that mankind and ALL living beings were created by ONE source, the Most High YHWH ...but why?

To understand this we have to get out of our own logic, our own feelings and mindset and limited knowledge and lend our entire existence to the ruach h'qodesh to lead us into ALL truth, (John 16:13). .....todah YHWH.

Now we should understand that before we were created, this living Earth was created, and before the Earth was created the malakym aka "angels" were created as we should have learned from Job 38:3-7,

3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy? .....~ scriptural proof the sons of Elohym aka "angels" were already created, so why create us?

also in Nehemiyah 9:6,

6 Thou, even thou, art YHWH alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. .....~ the "heavenly host" even worshiped YHWH before man was created to see this worship, so what did he want with us?

also in Psalm 148:1-5,

1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise ye YHWH from the heavens: praise him in the heights. 148:2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts. 148:3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light. 148:4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 148:5 Let them praise the name of YHWH: for he commanded, and they were created. .....~ again we see the "heavenly host" was created before mankind, so why waste time creating us?

This is why I say that moron that tried to rebel against the Most High didn't really "get it", he was already in a place close to the Almighty and was allowed to be in that presence where ALL life longs to be - but he blew it because he didn't appreciate the meaning or blessing of being alive and worthy to behold YHWH's glory, HE WANTED THE GLORY FOR HIMSELF!

question: ask yourself honestly, if you had ALL power and dominion and glory (even the heavenly host to sing praises in your name) would YOU be so insecure and selfish as to praise ones self? - YHWH isn't! - He NEVER just wants to glorify himself, he wants others to experience glory! .....wow!

So all this Earthly creation was to be a dwelling place for a coming special creation because our Elohym already had a dwelling place, matter of fact he already had a place for the malakym (angels) and the "heavenly host", ...so why create this Earth?

We get both a later and prophetic reasoning from Yahushua in John 14,

14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. .....~ Yahushua reminds us that a "GOOD Father" provides dwelling for his children before they are even come. That would be what we call a loving and caring "Abba" >>> A REAL FATHER LOVES !!!

This in itself points to: even though he already was a Father and had a family aka the "sons of Elohym", he still had > SO MUCH LOVE TO SHARE!

wisdom: any power that designs us, creates us, blesses us, leads us, defends us and even heals us, only does so because he > LOVES US.

learn: He created man so that yet another form of existence can feel that most powerful thing we call LOVE and experience that most powerful thing we call LOVE and share that most powerful thing we call LOVE because that's it's true purpose, to feel it, experience it and share it! .....selah

And note this gesture was done after the Earth was formed as we read in b'reshyth 1:1-2, In the beginning ELOHYM created the heaven and the earth. 1:2 And the Earth was without form, and void, .....~ so we see from the beginning lifelessness is NOT what YHWH is about, he wanted us to have a expansive and beautiful living home to bring his living loving family to dwell in.

understand: YHWH has SO MUCH living and loving life to share he wanted even more beings to know what life is, and to experience it's beauty and have responsibilities in that life and to have order in that life as we know the whole universe is to be in HIS order.
YHWH gave their order in b'reshyth 1:26-27,

And ELOHYM said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth". 1:27 So ELOHYM created man in his own image, in the image of ELOHYM created he him; male and female created he them. .....~ this shows YHWH wanted mankind to experience continual LOVE on this earth so he gave mankind the ability to re-produce more living and loving beings on a continuum.

Many of us have also learned from b'reshyth 2:7,

And YHWH ELOHYM formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
A deeper delve into the definition from the word adumah or ground ( which brings forth life of vegetation, etc... ) to the name adam will yield the insight "ad" + "am" (Strong's 5703 + 5971) or everlasting / perpetual + people = to perpetuate his people,

1st Cor. 15:45 reminded us, and so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (was made) a quickening spirit. .....~ this makes us to understand the first was to be a perpetuator of our living bodies but the second (YAHushua) had to also be a perpetuator of our spiritual connection back to YHWH ...todah YHWH!

The Most High made sure his LOVE SHARING would continue so he constructed a plan of salvation for the imperfect behaving and rebellious creation called "mankind", and that plan is Yahushua and he himself confirmed that mercy in John 15,

15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN HIS LIFE for his friends. 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. .....~ He was willing to give up his, so we can have ours - mainly so we could continue experiencing this blessing from Our Father.
And again it also shows Yahushua stated why he came in John 10:10,

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it >>> more abundantly.

Even Yahushua reflected his father again if we read with understanding what is written in John chapter 13 after what's called the "last supper",

13:3 Yahushua knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from YHWH, and went to YHWH; 13:4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 13:5 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 13:6 Then cometh he to Simon Kepha: and Kepha saith unto him, Rabbi, dost thou wash my feet?

13:7 Yahushua answered and said unto him, "What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter".

13:8 Kepha saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Yahushua answered him, "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me". .....~ we see Kepha aka Peter DID NOT at all understand what Yahushua was doing, Yahushua was not only cleansing their feet to prepare them to walk in righteousness from then on, he was also showing the humility of love! >>> He wanted to share with them that OVER-ABUNDANCE OF LOVE that he got from the heavenly Father that is too much to contain to one's self.

That's what John 3:16 was about, "For YHWH so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". .....~ we see TOO MUCH LIVING LOVE FOR IT TO EVER DIE.

That's what the resurrection was about, - sharing his animated blessing on a continuum, he embodied TOO MUCH LIVING LOVE FOR IT TO EVER DIE.

If you have ever really really loved someone and ever known assuredly that someone really loved you, then you should see why man was created, >>> to share YHWH's love, and LOVE SHARING IS A ENTITY OF IT'S OWN! 

(This is why he wants and commanded mankind to procreate, as in b'reshyt 1:28)

I think apostle Paul sums it up pretty good in 1st Corinthians 13:2-8,

13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.

13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.

13:4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

13:8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

.....~ Now ask yourself how does this prove LOVE itself is the strongest? >>> it shows by example after example LOVE has many responsibilities and is able to handle them ALL.

This is why Revelation chapter 21 contains the "hit list" of those destined for the lake of fire along with h'shatan and his demons, it's a list of those that have never and will never LOVE and SHARE LOVE as it is purposed, let's re-read Rev. 21:8, But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. .....~ we see NONE of these represent the intended purpose of love, therefore these go AGAINST the meaning of LIFE!

Here is a breakdown to increase your understanding:

1) Fearful - because a perfect love cast out fear (no room for fake love)

2) Unbelieving = the faithless > of the creator's plan to deliver us.

3) Abominable = the wicked that hate righteousness

4) Murderers = the shedders of innocent blood, destroying life

5) Whoremongers = those that destroy the true purpose of women

6) Sorcerers = those that love the darkside, and share it's wickedness

7) Idolaters = those that love their own "gods" - that can't love them back

8) Liars = those that love to deceive, like their father h'shatan

DO THESE EVEN REMOTELY LOOK LIKE THEY UNDERSTAND THE GOODNESS AND BLESSING OF LIFE AT ALL??? .....are they even worthy?

learn: This temporary life is just a test and a door to the next life (John 10:9, John 14:6) to what YHWH fully wants us to experience, ...selah

So the next time some one seriously ask you: "what is the meaning of life?" tell them our question is: "why did YHWH have to create living man?" and we shouldn't have to run to any book to respond in kind, >>> "you CAN'T know the meaning of life unless you understand the purpose of the creator of life"

HE NEEDED TO LOVINGLY SHARE EXISTENCE, SO ALL WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT HE DOES CONTINUALLY!

>>> he's a unselfish abundant giver- giver- giver of existence and also a redeemer of those that truly LOVE him and seek his face, ...and he will share with you that gift that keeps on giving!

NOW WHAT YOU DO WITH THAT GIFT IS UP TO YOU, .....selah

selah and shalom

IN JOHN 13:8  WHEN I READ THIS , I THINK OF A POEM I WROTE DOWN BUT, DON'T REMEMBER WHO WROTE IT;

THIS IS WHAT ABBA YAH / YAHUSHUA WAS SAYING;  "LOVE IS NOT PUT IN YOUR HEART TO STAY,  LOVE IS NOT LOVE UNTIL YOU GIVE IT AWAY"

I'M LONGING FOR THE DAY THAT ABBA YAH / YAHUSHUA RETURN THE FAITHFUL BACK TO THEM SO WE CAN LEARN THE FULL AND COMPLETE MEANING OF  'LOVE'

WISE WORDS ONCE AGAIN MY BROTHER, MY THE RUACH CONTINUE IN YOU, YAH WILLING.
