Exodus 6:3 Cure: Solution to the Questions

I stumbled onto a debate/ riddle regarding Exodus 6:3 that has apparently been going on for many years without sure resolution. In Exodus 6:3 YHWH says that he had revealed himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as Eil Shaddai but he had NOT revealed to them the name YHWH, though the Biblical texts say that he had. You can read the arguments online.

The solution is simple: the Milta (Miltha; see John 1:1 in the Aramaic). The whole ancient community of Midian knew the name YHWH, and knew that he was Eil Shaddai. What God--the Milta--is doing here is showing Moses how it works, because he hadn't gotten it yet. The Milta is the manifestation of the Ineffable Being, the high muckamuck himself IN FORM (thought, belief, intention, attitude, action, "experience"). The Milta came about by the Ineffable Being assuming that he did (does) exist in form. In the Ineffable's mind its manifestation actually exists, but in reality its manifestation has not yet been actualized. Do you see the tension there? It has yet to come about. The Milta is the whole enchilada of God's manifestation from the inception of its assumption to its final and complete fulfillment in concrete action. It is the beginning of all things (Genesis 1:1) AND their end--the whole history of the universe as it presents God from beginning to end--its alpha through omega.

So there is transition in the Milta's becoming: from the assumption to its destined fulfillment. It is actually all one act, but it takes time for all the stages and states to play out to completion. The ancient Midianites knew that God, Eil Shaddai, provided all things. They believed his words, his promises, even when they didn't see those promises' fulfillment. It is the nature or "name" of YHWH to come to a fulfilling end. They didn't see their inheritance of Canaan from Eil Shaddai, but they believed they received DESPITE not yet seeing it. "THAT, Moses, is how to proceed," says YHWH: "I am the fulfillment of the manifestation of the Ineffable Being, the completion of his act. The Ineffable says, 'I am.' I AM that 'I am,' for the unformed Ineffable and I are one."

THAT'S the thing to remember about the Milta (Miltha). The base Ineffable Most High and Its Manifestation are not separate. They are one Being in two forms simultaneously. They TOGETHER are He, and He is becoming.
