Stop Misreading the Bible: If You've Got Exodus 3: 14 Wrong, You've Got the Whole Thing Wrong
The Hebrew migrated from Assysia. From Midian, Moses learned and considered Jethro, "his jutting over," which is what God is doing in the earth. In contemplation, Moses saw Ashur (Exodus 3: 2) "through the waves of fire from inside the sun disc." Ashur is the Creator God of the Assyrians, where Moses' forefathers were from. Here is a picture of what Moses saw, though I suppose Moses was seeing it live and in person: http://www.ashur.kz/UserFiles/Image/Ashur_history_600.jpg.
The slavery of God's people in Egypt is our ignorance here in the flesh of this world. God's people are the spirit of God within us that animates us as living. God has a program for our betterment. Moses is the germ of the Gospel. "I am sending you," says Ashur.
"Eh, who are you?" asked Moses.
"The one who comes, Imagination, his coming." This expression is so deep that Victor Alexander, from whom I got it, doesn't even translate it. And God bless Vic for not translating it, for I have needed to go over and over it to figure out what God is saying (I have taken about a dozen pokes at expressing it accurately in previous posts). For this one sentence is the beginning of the Bible, and if we get it wrong, we've got the whole Bible wrong! All the Bible is commentary on this one sentence.
I know your Bible has something like "I AM THAT I AM" in Exodus 3: 14. That is not completely wrong, but it is an edited version of what was said. The priests didn't like the original because it could easily be misunderstood, so they "fixed" it.
Moses is looking at Ashur, whom he recognizes as God, and asks his name. The Hebrew word for 'name' is shem, nature (what a thing is, not leaves and branches). What a thing is is its nature. Moses was asking, "What is the nature of your being -- what are you?"
Ashur responds, "(I am) The one who comes, Ashur, his coming." This fills in a whole lot of context for Moses. The Egyptian myths covered a vast amount of metaphysics, of which Moses was expert. There was one main, key God from whom many other lesser beings came as aspects of the core, central "key" God. Ashur was saying the he was the one of these aspects which was coming into this dimension, the coming of the core, central key God into this dimension.
You can see why the priests rejected this reading: if this is the one who is coming, then there are others who are not. This could be a door to idolatry of the "other" gods. But this is an unnecessary aversion. Ashur is saying that he is the aspect of the Ineffable "main" God which is his coming into this dimension WHICH RESULTS IN JETHRO. Jethro is the jutting over or blessings of the Ineffable coming into this dimension, and It comes by Its aspect Ashur.
So, what is Ashur? What is Ashurs nature? Ashur is like (these are illustrations) the Light or the beginning spark that kindles the fire. Ashur was to the Assyrians "the uncreated Creator who creates everything form Nothing," that which is "Above the Flames" of the sun disc's radiance -- the power of life itself (see Alexander's notes). Ashur is the Ineffables's Imagination.
The Bible is about Imagination. The Ineffable's Imagination. I capitalize it because this is "God" to us -- the action of the Ineffable creating this world as Its movement into it.
There is only one God. Its Imagination is It, just as our imagination is us. The Ineffable has aspects we cannot imagine, but Its imagination is that aspect of It by which It is coming into manifestation in this dimension. It imagines, and Its Imagination becomes Manifestation.
See, It is just one God, the Ineffable, who has become everything by Imagination, including us and our imaginations. This is what It is doing. And if you think that "He is that He is" and that we are separate and divided from Him as "wholly other," you've got the whole Bible wrong! We are Him doing what He is doing!
Let's get with it!
