Salvation


Creation was perfectly united at one point. Yahweh, in six days, made all of Creation, and on the seventh day He rested, placing creation in the hands of man. This man, Yahweh's image, walked with Him in the Spirit, learning His Father's heart and establishing His Word. He was One with Yahweh and Creation. Thus all things were One and all things were glorious, perfectly the same thing.

And that thing was Yahweh's desire, Yahweh's heart. 

But then, man broke the link between himself and Yahweh and Yahweh and Creation, and all of creation was shattered. Like a mirror, dashed to a million pieces, the sundered creation became separate, and the Word of Yahweh, His desire, was no longer fulfilled. Indeed, the Word became words, and man created ugly things.

Because man, the steward of creation, lost something that day. He lost identity. He lost oneness. He lost being One with all things. Instead, he became self. Separate. Apart. A part. A portion of the whole, not having the whole anymore. This awful thing shattered man, too, into these many separate parts. His spirit was sleeping, his soul in torment, and his body always in labor. Man tried to put himself back together again, but he did not have the power. Instead, he cut himself into further parts by taking on debt in all of his futile attempts to fulfill himself. 

But Yahweh had a plan. For Yahweh so loved and valued His Righteous Creation that He sent the Word again, that whosoever binds Himself in unity (oneness) and perpetuity to the Word will not be separate but inherit Creation and be united as One with our Creator Yahweh. 

And so, restoration came, and He put the pieces back together again. He took what was shattered and made it anew, together as One. In unity and perpetuity. Forever. And He did it Himself, and He made us One with Himself. HalleluYah!

And this is salvation, making all things One, making things whole again. 

For the root word of "safe" is "whole." (sol)
