We know the name of the Father. It is YHWH.
And we know the name of the Son. It is YHSHA.
But what is the name of the Holy Spirit?
In Genesis 1:26, YHWH said, “Let us make humans in Our image”. The “image” referred to here is the family unit that has in it the presence of the Father, the Mother, and the Child, in one.
So if YHWH said let “Us” (plural) make humans in “Our” image, and made them male and female, and the man was made in the image of the father: then in whose image was the female made in?
The Holy Spirit, or The Ruach Ha Kadosh in Hebrew, is referred to as “Wisdom” in the Bible.
The Bible also calls her “Understanding, “The Comforter”, The “Witness” and The “Promise” (referring to the promise of being born again):
Wisdom is calling! Understanding is lifting her voice! (Proverbs 8:1)
The Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, She will teach you all things and cause you to recall all things that I said to you.” (John 14:26)
This is He who came by water and blood; YHSHA Ha Moshia. Not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Ruach (the Spirit) who bears witness, because the Ruach (the Spirit) is truth. For there are three that bear witness; the Ruach (the Spirit), the water, and the blood, and these three agree as one. (I John 5:6-8)
I send the promise of My Father upon you; but wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:49)
In Him is the Gospel of your deliverance, in whom also, after having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise.” (Ephesians 1:13)
She is described as a female, mother, and says that YHWH’s children are her children.
Wisdom is justified of Her Children, Luke 7:35
The Bible also says of The Holy Spirit:
We learn much of the nature of The Holy Spirit from Proverbs 8, where she speaks:
Wisdom is calling! Understanding is lifting her voice! On the heights along the road, where the paths meet, she is standing; by the gates leading into the city, at the entrances, she cries aloud:
“To you, O people, I call out; I raise my voice to all mankind. You who are simple, gain prudence; you who are foolish, set your hearts on it. Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge. Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her. I, wisdom, dwell together with caution; I possess knowledge and discretion. To fear the Lord is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil ways and duplicitous speech. Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power. By me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just; by me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth. I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing a rich inheritance on those who love me and making their treasuries full. YHWH brought me forth as the beginning of His way; before the first of his ancient works, I was appointed before the world, before the start, before the earth’s beginnings. When I was brought forth there were no watery depths, when there were no springs overflowing with water; I was brought forth before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth. I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind. Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it. Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For those who find me find life and receive the favor of YHWH. But those who fail to find me harm themselves; all who hate me love death.” (Proverbs 8)
Whereas Eve was the mother of all those who are born physically, so, the Holy Spirit is the mother of all those who are born spiritually. Entry into the Kingdom can only occur through birth through Her ie. “born again” of The Holy Spirit of YHWH.
“ Truly, I say to you, unless one is “born” of water and of “the Spirit“, he cannot enter the kingdom of YHWH. For that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit. Do not marvel that I said unto you, “You must be born again“. (John 3:5-7)
YHWH will give (eternal) life to our mortal bodies through His Spirit. (Romans 8:11)
Just like on earth, where it is a great offense to insult one’s mother, so it is also a grievesome act to offend the Holy Spirit. The Bible has many warnings as to not grieve or offend The Holy Spirit.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. (Ephesians 4:30)
Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. (Matthew 12:31-32)
The Holy Spirit is called Wisdom in the Bible. She even speaks after being identified as such, as if affirming agreement to this moniker. But in Paleo-Hebrew, Wisdom is “Hokma”. Since this is the language that this message was delivered to us, we think this is the most appropriate name to associate with Her.
