Awakening to the Living God: A Reflection on Identity, Holiness, and Divine Understanding

/ Tamah Yisrael

In the latest teaching on The Unfolding Light, Yahweh Ben Yahweh offers a powerful exploration of identity, purpose, and spiritual alignment grounded in the Holy Scriptures. He reminds us that Israel’s journey is one of awakening—gaining understanding “precept upon precept” as foretold in Isaiah and echoed in John 16:12. There are truths Yahweh reveals only when His people are spiritually prepared to receive them.

At the heart of this message is the call to recognize Yahweh as the God of the living, not the dead (Matthew 22:32). According to Yahweh Ben Yahweh, when the mind drifts into fear, depression, envy, or possessiveness, it has departed from Yahweh’s law and fallen into what Proverbs 21:16 calls “the congregation of the dead.” Life, joy, and clarity return only when the mind is restored to Yahweh and His commandments.

The teaching also emphasizes the biblical principle of the fear of Yahweh—not fear in the modern emotional sense, but a deep reverence, awe, and respect that aligns the heart with divine order. Scripture often describes Yahweh as “great,” “good,” and “terrible” (awe-inspiring), and it is this holy character that Israel is called to reflect. When Israel walks in unity, holiness, and obedience, the nations recognize Yahweh’s presence among His people, fulfilling passages such as Deuteronomy 28:10.

Yahweh Ben Yahweh further teaches that unity in Yahweh—not personal control, jealousy, or relational insecurity—is the foundation of peace in homes, marriages, and communities. True unity comes from shared obedience, shared purpose, and shared delight in Yahweh’s law (Psalm 1:1–2). Without this unity, even close relationships become sources of distraction from Yahweh’s joy.

Ultimately, this teaching calls Israel to reclaim its divine intelligence, discipline, and spiritual heritage. By walking in Yahweh’s laws, maintaining righteous companionship, and anchoring the mind in understanding, Yahweh’s people rediscover who they are—and in doing so, they rediscover Yahweh Himself.
