John 1:1's 'Milta' (Miltha, or Logos) is Genesis 1:1's 'Beginning' -- Messiah Jesus' and Moses' Matching Theology

I do not know if I can explain this adequately. I suppose that anyone reading this is going to know that  Jesus' mother tongue was Aramaic. Aramaic was very closely related to Hebrew, and the Jews converted to using Aramaic as their national language during their 70-year stay in Babylon. The Jews took it with them when they returned to Judea, so when Jesus and his family, his disciples and everyone else in his community spoke to each other, they naturally spoke in Aramaic. Jesus taught John in Aramaic. In the Aramaic version of John, John uses the term 'Milta' in reference to the pre-incarnate Christ. I have read speculation that it was John who coined the term Milta, but I believe that it was Jesus who taught the term to John.

The idea of the Milta is that the ineffable Most High spirit being has a comparable, more concrete and substantive manifestation this side of himself. You might think of this comparable being as the qualities and connotations of the Most High's essential nature, his affections, love, kindness, values, emotions, powers, concerns &c. being manifested in their fulness in another being "over there," although that other being is still actually him. The Most High would say of it, "I am that I am," and His Manifestation would say of Him, "I am that I am, too." And they are.

Yes, the idea is that there are two of God. The Most High is One in spite of existing in two forms. THAT is the world we are in, whether we like it or not. The first One is hidden, invisible, and unknowable; and the second is that same hidden One made visible, and knowable. The knowable Manifestation, the Milta, became apparent to us as Jesus. In Victor Alexander's translation of the Aramaic New Testament, footnotes incorporated, John 1:1-5 reads:

1. In the beginning [of creation] there was the Milta (the Manifestation, the essential connotation of Allaha, the Godhead); And that Milta (Manifestation) was with Allaha (the Godhead); and Allaha (the Godhead) was [the embodiment of] that Milta (Manifestation).

2. This (Manifestation, the Milta) was in the beginning with Allaha (the Godhead).

3. Everything was within his power ([in his] hand), [otherwise] nothing would ever exist (And without his hand, not one [thing that] became would have become).
4. Through him [there] was Life (life everlasting) and Life (life everlasting) became the spark (light) of humanity.
5. And that [ensuing] fire (light) lights the darkness and darkness does not overshadow it.

I think it important here to not see the Ineffable nor Its Manifestation as static noun units, but as powerful dynamic actions. Together they are an act, a movement. Jesus used the illustration of wind blowing wherever it will. Rabbi David A. Cooper explains this movement as the act of "beginningness" (1997. God is a Verb: Kabbalah and the practice of Mystical Judaism. New York: Riverhead Books. See p. 61-79). Existence is the dynamic movement of the Milta. The Milta is growing, maturing, becoming more fully like Its ineffable Father. OUR action is where He grows and expands, and the Ineffable is glorified.

Now to Moses and Genesis 1:1. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The verse is pretty well known, and refers to a point of time in the past, right? But Cooper (p. 66) suggests a Jewish Kabbalist could say, "With a beginning, [It] created God (Elohim), the heavens and the earth." With a beginning, an action, not at a point of time. Once there was a beginning, Cooper says, the Most High created a God to which the rest of creation could relate. And it is through that manifestation of God that the heavens and the earth are created. So the Milta is the One who CREATES the heavens and the earth. Says Victor Alexander's translation: "As the beginning, the Son of God creates the heavens and the earth. And the earth was for Him and by Him, and the darkness was over the face of infinite space, and the Spirit of God was over the layers of water" (Genesis 1:1-2 Alexander, emphasis mine).

The Milta is progressively building the Milta. The Milta, the Manifestation of God, is the beginning of--the firstborn of--creation. Everything comes into existence through its manifesting the Father. Everything is FOR the manifesting, but not everything is going to BE the manifesting. Somethings are necessary for facilitating the generation of the Milta.

John saw what Moses meant by brasheeth (Alexander's transliteration of the Aramaic) in Genesis 1. The Milta is the beginning movement of all creation AND is the destined End of the Most High's manifestation. It is the Firstborn of creation, the Messiah and the Savior, the Eternal Righteousness of the Father . . . manifested.

Here is an insightful lesson which has still another rendering of Genesis 1:1. Maybe the best. Which is that it was on account of the Milta, the Messiah, the Manifestation of the Most High that everything began: The FIRST WORD In the Bible... (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lOhhjfsNNBc)

Evangelism is to Build the Milta (Miltha), the Most Beautiful End Ever

Nothing is as important or as wonderful as the Milta, the Son of God. "God so loved the world that he gave forth his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him does not [go] into oblivion, except that they may have life everlasting" (John 3:16 Alexander)--i.e., that they may become him, the Milta. The Milta is God's highest hope for us, for the Milta is the manifestation of God himself.

What could be more full of love, power, joy and fulfillment than to be the manifestation of the Ineffable? That is what is going on, why evangelism is enjoined upon us. The Ineffable imagined Itself manifesting, and assumed that was fully real. Now It -- that End -- is becoming. The honor and majesty of the Most High, HIS honor and majesty, shall be manifesting through us, because we are the Milta. Because we live in a state of surrender and submission to BEING what we are, HIM.

The Milta came here in and as Jesus to recapitulate man and to open the door to our becoming Milta ourselves. Not by ourselves, but by becoming joined with his manship--submitted lordship. And in the end our end shall be that End. And all it takes is the humility to bow the knee and honestly recognize that Jesus is the Milta, confess Him as Lord, the Manifestation of the unknowable Most High.

Neville Goddard's Key: Leave Lordship To God

Back in the 2000s I found Neville Goddard's Resurrection at a used bookstore. Over the years I have found, listened to and read just about everything Neville taught. I never once tried to manifest or imagine anything into existence; I am just a lay theologian who is interested in Neville's theology. Like him, I have experienced spiritual things and KNOW that the Bible is true, though maybe not quite like it is commonly read. I discovered that multitudes use Neville's techniques to control their world and to get whatever they want by some sort mental force or cosmic magic, processes much illustrated and explained by Neville in his lectures and publications.

Neville, who read the Bible much with care and understanding, also lived by it. He strove to perceive what Scripture really meant, what it means. Here are a couple of things he apparently found.

A) Although Neville never to my knowledge used the term, Neville apparently understood the Milta (Miltha). The Milta is the objective, substantive Manifestation of God. Well, it's the Manifestation of God from the His first subjective thought to the objective completion of His Being. That is, there is whatever God is, which is UNmanifested, and there is whatever God is, manifested. With the Milta, God is One in two different forms. Hold on, it gets better. The first, the "Father," has assumed the completed, ultimate existence of the second, his Manifestation the "Son," and that Manifestation isn't done yet.

Say what?

Although the Father has ASSUMED itself to be fully and completely manifested in the Milta, it takes time to generate that fulfilled end in what we call reality. The fulfillment is still in process--the end of the assumption is coming. The Plan is becoming fulfilled.

B) Here is Neville's key: the lordship of the Father. It is right and proper to recognize that the Father is lord of everything. Although the Father is also the Son--the Son is the Manifestation OF him, the Father is the SOURCE of the Son. There is recognized headship in the Godhead. So when Neville imagined to "create" an end, HE HONORED GOD THE FATHER'S LORDSHIP BY DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO BRING THE DESIRED END TO PASS. "If there is a God, he will bring it to pass . . . and there IS a God." OUR trying of ourselves to make the end we desire is the sin of Eve in the Garden. She wanted to assert her lordship, to eat God's lordship by doing things herself and by her husband.

Have You Got Your Meld Yet? Combination With God Is A Real, EXPERIENTIAL EVENT of Life Infusion, Not The Adoption Of An Emotional, Sentimental Philosophy

"I never knew you." Not something you want to hear.

"Me? You never knew me?" This is not the time to ask, "What do you mean?" You want to find out NOW what "I never knew you" MEANS.

Knowing is joining, becoming one, as in, "The two shall become one." Knowing is fusion. He imbues us with the Holy Ghost. Knowing is the Pentecostal baptism: our spirit made alive, regenerated and quickened by the Holy Ghost.

Jesus' knowing us is not our knowing about Him. His knowing us is not our believing the Gospel about Him, accepting Jesus as our personal lord and savior, confessing Him with our lips, giving testimony about Him, having faith in His resurrection, being "born again" because Biblical doctrine says we are . . . all these have nothing to do with His knowing us.

Jesus' knowing us is when He accepts us and infuses our spirit with His Life, the Holy Ghost. Jesus' knowing us is FELT. We feel it. His knowing us is a sensual, ecstatic experience. God's eternal Life infuses our spirit. THEY COMBINE. We meld with Him. We experience the infusion of Life; it feels like living water flooding our bowels, and it has the sensation of swelling upward to the mouth. There is no question in us as to whether it has happened or not. For some moments, the Holy Ghost takes over. The Holy Ghost speaks with our mouth with our having no control over it--HE moves our lips while we observe with grateful hearts. Except for being overwhelmed with love and appreciation, WE STAY OUT OF IT.

It isn't from SAYING we are surrendered and submitted; it is from BEING surrendered and submitted, our self-lordship GONE and our self-control completely abandoned. It is when we are NOTHING that He, the Beginningness, makes us HIM, and He knows us.

The Milta came in Christ, and Christ went with the Milta.

God Manifests as Myriads of People

The Milta (Miltha) is a NETWORK. The Milta is Jesus Christ everywhere. The network the Milta is is manifestation of that connotation existent in the ineffable Most High, which is Itself a great network of consciousnesses. So It manifests as conscii. The Milta, the Manifestation of the Most High, is why good international relations are so important to us.

Fort Miltha (Milta)

Quite literally, there isn't anything in the universe that matters as much as the Miltha (Milta). Nothing is as precious. The Miltha is more than the center of the universe; it IS the universe, and much, much more, in a very special way. God made the Miltha, and then made the universe for it. The Miltha is God's highest ranking idea, His number one objective, and we are created to fulfill it.

"This is what I am going to do today," thought God this morning. Morning to Him, 15 billion years ago to us. He hasn't even had lunch yet--He is too intent on His project. God's project is our purpose. The Miltha is what He is moving everything around for. God has given everything He can for the Miltha. Jesus. You have heard of Him. Jesus is God's representative to us about the Miltha. Jesus revealed--no, REVEALS--the Miltha to us, for that is what He was and is . . . and will ever be. The Miltha is Jesus Christ everywhere. Glory to His name forever.

Miltha. "Say it loud, and there's music playing; say it soft, and you are literally praying" (sorry, Bernstein and Sondheim). Miltha. Never stop saying, "Miltha." What is a Miltha? The Miltha is God (see John 1:1, where Miltha has been translated as Logos, the Word of God). The Miltha is not "like" God; the Miltha is God Himself. The Miltha is the manifestation of God, the essential connotation of that ineffable Being in the form of a thing. It's everything. The Miltha is not a message about God, is not God's expression, explanation, or illustration. The Miltha IS that ineffable Being Himself, manifest. THAT is the trick God is up to. The Miltha is the whole act of God's manifestation, the whole kit-and-caboodle of His manifestation from its Beginning to its End. Problem is we're not at the end yet.

The Miltha's mechanics are fascinating. It is inconceivable to man that a creative force, some ineffable pre-God Stuff existing beyond the Nothingness, began to think. And that thinking was the beginning of Beginningness, the Source of all things. That ineffable Stuff imagined Its own Beginningness existent as a thing to Its end, being fully manifested as the Miltha. I.e., It imagined Itself, over there. "That is Me," or if you would, "I AM THAT I AM (and HE IS ME, too)." It works both ways--God is one Being in two forms. "I am this one, AND I am that one."

So which was on the cross? They both were. Are. Both are eternally recapitulating man's fault of being unlike God and self-lording, substitutionally sacrificing Itself, redeeming, forgiving, and resurrecting . . . us. Its (His, Their) purpose is to build the Miltha, for It isn't fulfilled yet. To build the Miltha--THAT's the most important thing in the universe, in all of Creation. Building the Miltha is God's number one priority--His own perfection shall exist in perfect manifestation. And it isn't perfect yet, because we are still walking around all screwy. But fall under God's auspices as part of the project, and you gain Eternal Life. You become regenerated, a new creation pugged into getting fixed, into being made into the Miltha, and you get health and prosperity and soundness of mind. In building the Miltha you might have persecution, but you are joined with the Miltha, you ARE the Miltha, and He will be with you, for the most important thing to Him is . . . you. Persecution and serenity, heartbreak and peace. Go figure. Be brave, and read Dr. T.L. Osborn's The Power of Positive Desire: Seven Vital Principles for Unlimited Living. Or listen to the audio book.

Go Fund Vic Alexander's Translation, v-a.com &c., April 6, 2026

I have been corresponding with Victor N. Alexander, a native Aramaic speaker who has translated much of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament from the ancient Aramaic text. His idiomatic translation with many, many footnotes is quite unique. The insights I get from his translations and notes floor me. He had a web page up for a long time, v-a.com, but had to let it go when Satan attacked him with leukemia. The chemo therapy, which most of us knew nothing about, was very detrimental and disruptive to his mental faculties, and financially ruinous. Vic is not an endowed institution; he's just a guy who knows the ancient Aramaic of the Church of the East very, very well. And if you do not yet have his translated books (I find the individual books much easier to handle, but I have the combined volumes also), I think you are missing out on an awful lot (his notes will revise your understanding of what you've got).

Well, Vic would like to get v-a.com back online, probably as aramaic-bible.com. And he feels inspired to try to translate the rest of the Torah and the other books of the Old Testament. But he needs funding. If you have been blessed by his insightful translations and notes of the ancient Aramaic, the language the ancients actually lived and spoke in, and the perspective of the Eastern Church, and would like access to his digital books of the Scriptures, please consider sending Vic a donation. I can't promise anything, and no, it won't be tax deductible (at least I don't think so), but just maybe Vic and his wife Liv can get his website hosted to where all the Church can benefit from it. Vic's present mailing address is:

1129 Linden Avenue #2

Glendale, CA 91201

Vic's birthday is May 7th. He is 83 years old now, so cut him some slack. His email address is vicalexander37@gmail.com. Here is the latest I have from him:

Hi Dan,

   Today, I decided to start translating the next three books of the Old Testament. I had translated Genesis and Exodus only. Today, I started translating Leviticus. Everyday I will translate in the morning when I'm sharp. As you know I can read the Ancient Aramaic right off the pages of the Church of the East Old Testament. I can read and write modern Assyrian also.

   In a few days, I'll get my new PayPal card. With it I can buy aramaic-bible.com and there I will start posting my translations of Leviticus and the rest of the other two books of the Old Testament.

   Then there are a few more books of the last twelve books of the Old Testament, and eventually I'll have translated the who Church of the East Ancient Aramaic Bible, with scholarly footnotes at the end of each chapter.

   As it is, my translation of the Church of the East New Testament with scholarly footnotes at the end of each chapter is unique. No other translation in the English language has these so many (sic) notes.

   Of course, I'll probably never finish the entire Old Testament, because the Old Testament is a lot bigger than the New Testament. It might take me another five or even ten years to complete the Old Testament translation. But I must try anyways.

   Thanks for writing.

   With the blessings of Maran Eashoa Msheekha,

Victor N. Alexander

Previous to that:

Hi Dan,

Thanks again. I saw Hostinger's offer. At first it's less money, then it's like all others -- especially a major Bible website like v-a.com/Bible/

I not only had all the New Testament, but also ten books of the Old Testament which are essential to the understanding of Christianity.

As you probably know, the first five books of the Bible are the Torah of Judaism, or the five books of Moses -- which I'm not really interested in as such. However I have translated them anyway. And they have as much to do about Christianity as they do about Moses.

Also, I have other subjects under v-a.com -- for example, alcohol addiction, etc.

I can get an American Express card myself -- and I might do it in a few months anyways. But I prefer not to use it for my Bible pages online.

Hostinger is a pretty good hosting website, as for the domain, of course, it's very expensive, because v-a.com is a very large domain. So if you want to contribute some money toward my new Bible page on the Internet, you can simply send me a check or money order, and I'll use it to get my Church of the East New Testament and the ten books of the Church of the East Old Testament on a new Bible website -- Victor Alexander's Bible from the original language it was recorded in, with scholarly footnotes. I'll abbreviate it of course.

So it will be a one time expense for you. Think about it, and if it's something you want to do, let me know.

With blessings of Marran Eashoa Msheekha as always,

Victor N. Alexander

If you have been blessed by Victor's work, or would just be willing to help him out for Jesus' sake, please consider supporting his work financially and with a lot of PRAYERS.
