What Does The Mysterious Roy G Biv Reveal About Ahavah?

Is it perhaps an emerald green like the color of the rainbow around our Heavenly Fathers Throne?

Or could it be blue

like the firmament of the heavens..?

the same as the color of a sapphire?

Here is a very curious find…

“Skystone” or “Stone of Heaven” is an odd type of blue stone and was discovered during archeological excavations in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Angelo Pitoni, the archeologist who found the stone,

was puzzled by its appearance, so he sent it to be investigated by laboratories of the University of Geneva and according to analysis.

 A piece of Sky Stone being prepared for cutting.

An amazing ,77.17% of the stone, is somehow made of pure OXYGEN, yet harder than diamond, unnatural to earth and has strong carbon and silica (glass) in it! The remaining percentage was divided between carbon, silicon, calcium and sodium.

Sky-Stone-Analysis

The composition makes the “Sky Stone” similar to a kind of concrete or stucco, and seems to have been artificially colored.

The natives living in the area where the stone was found, already knew about its existence because this stone-like artifact used to pop out during the digging in the area.

Another mystery related to the stone of heaven is that this artifact is always found in soil layers dating to at least 12000 BC. 

Could the sky stone be part of the firmament ?

Or is this like that which Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and the 70 elders saw in Ex. 24:9-10 (NASB)?

 

Or is the color of

maybe gold

like the sea of glass – the purest transparent gold that the streets of heaven are made of?

God is love (1 John 4:8), the very nature of the Creator is under scrutiny when love is considered…

We are used to hearing the definition of Love in Greek which has many different words to describe various types of love. Some say 3, some 6 and others 8.

In ancient Greek, the three words for love with which we are more familiar: eros, philia, and agape.

Eros: The first kind of love was named after the Greek god of fertility, it represented the idea of, a physical love, passion and desire between husband and wife. the root word is found in erotic. The Modern Greek word ” erotas ” means “(romantic) love.

Philia/Philos, as in ‘brotherly’ love, The love between two members of the family, love of Mankind, broader human relationships, or deep friendship; the root word is found in ‘ Philadelphia’.

Agape, a really high relationship with the Godhead, the love of God for Man; or love for everyone. As a verb Agapo means “I love”; Agapetos means “beloved.”

the next 3 are:

Ludus, or playful love.

Philautia, or love of the self.

Pragma, or longstanding love.

The other 2 are:

Storge, Affection, as in love for babies children, pets.

Mania, a combination of Eros and Ludus: Obsessive, troubled, intense, madness.

In English we have a number of words for love: fondness, adoration, cherishing, etc.

Ahava (Ah-ha-vah) is the Hebrew word for love.

Hebrew was not just created by God, but it is the language through which He spoke in creating the world.

Much wisdom is attributed to the words and letters in the Hebrew language and understanding the concepts that are incorporated in words can help us in our own lives.  

Hebrew is a living language, a language of the heart/lev and it is a power-filled force that helps us better know the Bible and it’s author.  Each Hebrew letter is a sign, a symbol, a sound, and a number; and maybe even a color?  By digging into the depths of the original language of the Bible we can better grasp its message. 

The word “love” which is thrown about so freely in English that everyone uses for everything has a special meaning in Hebrew.

Love or “ahavah” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In the Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience.

Strong’s Exhaustive Dictionary defines ahavah as “to have affection, sexually or otherwise, love, like, to befriend, to be intimate.” 

Hebraically ahavah is a verb and a noun, it is an act of doing. Ahava is not just a feeling.

It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

To get a clear understanding of ahavah, let’s examine the Hebrew word itself and learn what it means to love Hebraically.

 Most Hebrew words can be broken down to a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning.   

Love in Hebrew is “Ahavah” , which is made up of three basic Hebrew letters,

 These three letters actually are broken down into two parts: a two letter base or root,

and the first letter,

which is a modifier.

The root word of ahavah is “ahav.”

The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.”

 

The Hebrew word “ahavah” is spelled

“aleph, hei, bet, hei.” 

The root word ahav is spelled “aleph, hei, bet.”

These Hebrew letters reveal a secret of love hidden for thousands of years. This secret is exposed through the meaning behind each Hebrew letter in “ahav.” 

Hebrew is read from right to right to left.  The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is also the first letter in “ahav.” 

This is the aleph.

The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is also the first letter in “ahav.” This is the aleph this letter has the numerical value of one. Aleph symbolizes the one and only Eternal God. In Revelation 22:13,  Jesus/Yeshua called Himself the Aleph and the Tav. Aleph is a picture of God our Father and His creation. There is one Father Creator.

God our Father – Abba/Avinu

Jesus/Yeshua said that this is the number one commandment in Matt.22:37-39. The first of all commandments is, Shema O Yisra’el; the Master /God is our Father. God our Abba/Avinu is Echad: and you shall ahava (love) the Master/ God our Father with all your lev (heart), and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There are no other commandments greater than these,” Mark 12:29-31.

Ahavah starts with Aleph. Real ahavah starts with loving God our Father first. Then, as a person has a relationship with God our Father, we can love our neighbor properly.

The next letter of ahav is the “hei.” The letter “hei” is the fifth letter of the aleph-bet. Five is the number of chesed/grace and highly symbolic.

There are five books of the Torah, five fingers on the hand, and King David gathered five smooth stones to kill Goliath. It is through grace or chesed that God our Abba/Avinu loves us. Mankind loves God our Father back through the fifth letter hei. How? Ahavah is shown to Abba/Avinu through hei – through the five books of the Torah. “If you love me, obey my mitzvoth / commandments. If a man loves Me, he will guard My words, and My Abba/Avinu will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our stay with Him,” said Y’shua in John 14:15, 23.

The hei is the means that a person expresses ahavah. You love and give to God our Abba/Avinu by your actions of obedience.

The form of the letter hei, the number five shows how to correctly love Abba/Avinu and man. The three lines of hei are a picture of loving Abba/Avinu with thought, deed, and words. The top horizontal line is the realm of thought. A person’s thoughts should be focused upward on Abba/Avinu and His word. The vertical line to the right is speech. From the abundance of the heart/mind/horizontal line, the mouth speaks because speech comes directly from thought.

The unattached line to the left is deed. Though actions should be connected to our intentions, they often are not. “There are many plans in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of Abba/Avinu shall stand,” Mishlei / Proverbs 19:21.

Man is to unite the three lines through devotion and service. Loving Abba/Avinu with thoughts, words, and deeds is the goal of the hei.

The Beit is the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is the third letter in “ahav.”

(B is also V in Hebrew.)

This letter vividly demonstrates the purpose of all creation. How? Beit is a picture of a house. Abba/Avinu created the world to be a dwelling place in this world below.

The first letter in the Torah is a beit, found in the word Beresheet, Genesis.

The tabernacle was made to create a bayit, or a house, for Abba/Avinu. “Know you not that you are the temple of Abba/Avinu, and that the Spirit of Abba/Avinu dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16.

The objective of loving Abba/Avinu is to be conformed to His image and represent Him to the world. The two are to walk together.

Beit, is also the number two.

Abba/Avinu plus His servant equals two. Yet in the beit, the two shall become one. Y’shua said, “For where two, or three will assemble together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them,” Matthew 18:20. Ahava starts with loving Abba/Avinu first and foremost through word, deed, and thought.

This type of ahavah creates a house for Abba/Avinu to inhabit. We make a dwelling place or house for Abba/Avinu when we show love by giving to others.

In review, the Hebrew root word for love is “ahav,” spelled “aleph, hei, bet.” The aleph reminds us that we are to love Abba/Avinu first. Hei shows us to express that love by conforming our thoughts, words, and deeds to the five books of the Torah. When love is directed first to Abba/Avinu, then a beit, a house, is built to sustain His presence.

The meaning of the two letter base, is “to give”. The letter “aleph” , which precedes these two letters comes to modify the meaning of the base word, “give”. The meaning of, is “I give” and also “love”.

We now see the connection between the two words, “I give” and “love”. Love is giving. Not only is love giving, but the actual process of giving develops the very connection between the giver and the receiver. The more giving that one does, the greater is the connection.

This, is hebrew thought.

The process of giving is a vehicle through which the giver through his act of giving is able to, through a physical gift  give of himself to another. This act of giving something is not merely helping another but is much more than that. Giving enables us to make a connection to another. When we give to another, that which we give to him/her, could have been utilize to further our own self. Instead, we choose to take that which could have been used for our own needs and instead, use it for someone else.

True ahavah, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving.

Giving is a condition that creates and sustains love. With out giving, there is no connection that is sustaining.  Giving is the vehicle of love. God so loved the world that He GAVE His only Son.

Love may focus on receiving, but ahavah is all about giving.

Is RED the color of love – from the sacrificial death of Messiah and the Blood that was shed for us? Matt. 26:28.

The true relationships that our meaningful in our lives are those in which mutual giving takes place. The giving may be physical, emotional, intellectual or a combination. Without giving from ourselves, no relationship can be enduring.

That is the secret of love that is revealed to us in the Hebrew language placed within by it’s Creator.

However, love is more than just a word, rather than an emotion, it involves action, in Israel, love is also a way of life!  It is not something that happens “to you” but a condition that you create when you give.

In Hebrew: דודים ,חיבוב ,רחמים ,אהבה, are some words having to do with love.

(The word דודים is sometimes a plural noun; but it also means love, as in Ezekiel 16:8.)

Because in the Hebrew language there aren’t any exact synonyms, each of the apparent synonyms for אהבה, ahava, will point to a slightly different aspect of love.

(The noun for love is ahavah.)

אהבה is the most general word for love, which is used to express all kinds of love and affection, from deep love, to just liking someone or something.

אהב aheb to love (verb) = ah-HAHV is usually translated with to love, but it rather means to be attracted to ,or to be attached to, and that in a rather mechanical way like a magnet to a nail.

It’s used to describe a parent’s attachment to a child,

“you love you” doesn’t make much sense, but it would be:

to a female = at ohevet et atsmekh

to a male = atah ohev et atsmekha

if you are male, your love = ahava shelkha

if you are female, your love = ahava shelakh

The obvious antithesis of this verb is שנא – sane – which means, to hate, and which is identical to the verb that means, to sleep. Sleeping in the Bible is often used in the sense of being inattentive or aloof (Matthew 26:40), which suggests that our verb אהב (aheb) primarily has to do with being attentive and intimate.

דודים is used for love such as that of newlyweds.

חיבוב is close to “cherish.”

רחמים is for a gut-feeling, such as the love of a guardian.

חסד is a verb –  hasad – and is the reason why we see curious words like “loving kindness” or “faithful love” in the Bible.
It appears to have originated as a word that expressed a kind of economic and emotional loyalty among relatives or friends or neighbors, but it appears to have moved into legal jargon as the verb that describes a formal contract or covenant.

In our world the word, contract brings to mind being bound by a law, that when broken will land you in jail. The Hebrew word חסד (hasad),  has primarily to do with human decency and allegiance.

רחם

The verb רחם raham – expresses a kind of devotional love that usually goes one way: from a caregiver to the receiver of this care.

It’s often used to describe a parent’s devotion to a child, and subsequently also God’s devotion to mankind.

The Fathers Love is expressed in the 1st covenant was sealed with Noah after the flood and God pointed out to him the rainbow in the heavens which was not before the flood for it had never rained.

For Noah it would serve as a reminder to Him of God’s covenant promises and salvation from the judgment on sin.

If we had never seen one, how would we know what it was – how would someone describe it to you know without tv, the internet or Hollywood to animate it?

Then suddenly came the deluge.

The whole eco system was changed forever after the windows of heaven were opened and the fountains of the deep were broken up.

Note of interest…

They apparently have found an ocean beneath the ocean!! how they know that is in itself a mystery!

The sky above the firmament may have had more of a solid structure like that of ice – frozen precipitation. It’s apparently cold out in space. Just as altitude affects temperature and there is a clear snow line on mountains, with snow on the highest peaks all year round. The higher one goes the colder it gets.

The windows of heaven opening were maybe a way of meaning, the ice is melting and its going to fall to earth.

Water always finds the lowest point flowing down. The amount of precipitation condensed moisture we call rain, is determined by the clouds that form as the earth heats up from the suns rays. The moisture rises as we know heat always rises, and it’s the same principle for how a hot air ballon functions.

The moisture evaporates and condensation, rises up and then hits the cold air in the upper atmosphere and it is transformed into what we see as clouds. The more moisture in the clouds the darker they become in color.

When they become over saturated and too heavy to float, the moisture they contain falls to earth as rain or snow. Friction within the cloud gives rise to lightning which precedes the rain falling harder and faster. Thunder is simply the sound of that electric lightning bolt of energy and we see it before we hear it, because light waves travel faster than sound waves. However this is not a science /physics lesson, although God is the perfect scientist/physics master and man is only at the tip of comprehending all He has created and understanding how His creation functions.

The point of the pre-ramble is to highlight the rainbow, which had probably never been seen prior to the flood, for according to scripture, there was no rain..

Genesis 2:5–6 states that “the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up  a mist…

So therefore probably no clouds  however, they may have seen the mist. Gen. 2:8

No Rain? Crazy you may say?

There are desert places today that never see any measurable rainfall so its not impossible.

As a covenant reminder it’s’ His token of love that is perpetual and everlasting in Jesus/Yeshua. The ultimate representation of divine and unconditional love for us.

So as a covenant sign what color is love?

Is it the emerald rainbow described as being around His throne as described in Revelation?

The colors of the rainbow are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, (blue-purple) and Violet (red-purple).

An Acronym for the rainbow colors is ROY G BIV – it sounds like the name of a person and makes it easy to remember the order in which we see them.

Through that ‘mysterious name’ we will have the secret color of ahavah revealed to us.

Is it red?

The color of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua’s blood?

The color of the sacrifice that paid for our redemption and forgiveness before we even knew we needed it and certainly did not deserve i?

Orange, golden for the harvest of the first fruit and the gold of the tabernacle furniture together with the mercy seat that speaks of our salvation?

Yellow the color of the sun/son the brightness of His glory. The light beams that come forth from His hands the hiding place of His power. The color of spring, new life, resurrection and the season of First Fruits? 

Is it Green, the color of the green pastures that He leads us to lie down in, His true Shalom? The tranquility and safety of our beloved great shepherd over His sheep.

Or Blue? The color of the heavens and all it promises us as it beckons to our longing hearts. The color of the sea that speaks of humanity and the only One who can reconcile the two back from our broken fellowship and so healing the relationship.

Is Love Indigo? A blue-purple for royalty, of the King of kings and Lord of lords. The ONE/ECHAD, who stepped down into darkness that we should see a great light and turn from our wicked ways and seek His face.

Or could it be Violet? A red-purple of the high priestly garment that He indeed is the propitiation for our sins the only go between that intercedes for us before the Fathers throne. The High Priest of the confession of our faith, of love, that not only ministered in the place of the sacrifice but actually became it.

Is Love White? The color of the high priests garment worn on the most Holy day and representing the robe of righteousness that we are clothed in as our garment of salvation; washed in the blood and cleansed white as snow. The brides adornment and the wedding guests required attire.

Or is it black? As He reminds us of the hidden riches of darkness;

and that He was in the the thick dark cloud 

leading and guiding and protecting.

Or is Love gold? A hue of orange, the purest element known. So pure that Heavens streets are made of it; it does not rust nor corrode. In its’ most purest form, with all the dross removed, it’s transparent; so there is nothing hidden from or obscured – it is pure, like His love.

There is a cyclical element to the color wheel and the numbers are significant

3 primary colors red Yellow and Blue

3 secondary colors orange green and purple (indigo violet)

red + yellow = orange

yellow + blue= green

blue + red= purple

However there are 7 colors in the rainbow –

7 has the meaning of spiritual perfection.

The position in the rainbow shows the secondary color between the primaries that mix to produce it and explains the indigo-violet as each color is next to the one it contains more of; i.e. the blue-purple sits next to blue and the violet next to the red.

These are the colors that are in the visible spectrum of light that our human eyes can identify. There are other spectrums e.g. infra red and black light and that we cannot see with the naked eye but we can see them with the help of technology. There are x rays, gamma rays, and radiation light waves, that we call the aurora borealis.

It’s all a form of energy and helps in describing that God is light.

God   IS…. His covenant sign.

He IS light…

…and John says He is love and He is Light –

so what color is love???

The symbol has been highjacked and used by other groups over the years but interestingly, one of them is not the same rainbow as it only has 6 colors and not seven; and six is the number of man!

The 7 colors can be connected to the 7 feasts,

and also linked to the 12 tribes...and 12 months

 So what color is love???

The way we see all 7 of the rainbow colors is because the beam of white light passes through water droplets and is split or divided into its base elemental light frequencies.

Seen here passing through a prism is the same as the process when light passes through water droplets in the sky forming the rainbow. We know the significance of water = the word of God and that God is light and that there are 7 spirits of God; could they also be represented by the colors?

The diagram above shows the different spectral light and wave forms of light now the atmosphere had changed as the water in the firmament above could not be put back.

So if the white light = God, positioned before the prism…

God is light – God is love and is therefore = to 7 colors after passing through the prism –

So here’s the answer to our question – what color is Love?

It’s all of them!

Ahavah/Love is all the colors rolled into one because God is One –

Echad;

and so love is also the source – white light – so bright it’s almost blinding.

– and the seven rainbow colors passing through the water of His Word was in Yeshua, the Word made flesh.

It is the sign of His covenant of LOVE in the heavens.

It’s a reminder of His Love in the 7 appointed times and that He is coming back to manifest the heavenly, royal, priestly colors of blue, indigo and violet to fulfill the covenant.

The frequencies that our human eyes can see tells us of His Love and of His seven spirits here to minister to our needs as Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh in 7 colors of Love; all contained within the purest light of righteousness, (white). The white of the robes of His righteousness that He places around us.

The rainbow reminds us of His glory (gold) and His grace, (we come from dark to light, black to white); and because every color of the palette comes from 3 original primaries, with white or black added for hues, shades and tints. He is in every part of His creation and His love shows in every color we see.

Each color is visible because it’s the only 1 of the 7 that is not absorbed by the object that is the visible light. Light is a frequency and travels in waves like the movement of water in the sea. Light apparently travels at 186,000 miles per second, too fast to be followed but we see the result.

When we humbly receive His Light – His visual AHAVAH – it changes us and we are never the same again. No one can remain the same once they have been in the light/love of His presence.

God is light and He must by this understanding, also have frequency as part of His existence, His being. It follows then, that in some measure, as we are His children we are therefore children/beings of that same light.

Eph.5:8. We must walk and

His light was the light of men. While I am with you I am the light of the world You (We) are now the light of the world.

To  recall the simple and innocent saying as a child, this little light of mine… It really is pertinent, we really do need to shine brightly. Let the AHAVAH colors of His covenant shine out through us; as His pure white light shines on us and passes through the Word dwelling in us, emitting the 7 colors and radiating to those in the world around us, the seven spirits of His Ah-HA-VAH.

What color is Ahava???

ALL  – ONE  – ECHAD

– ALL –  LIGHT

ALL – LOVE

One day soon no other source of light will be needed for He Himself will be the light. Rev.22:5.

Next time there is a rainbow (ke-shet) in the sky – see ALL the colors of the Father’s Ahavah covenant over our lives.

Shalom Mishpachah, and a special thank you for your prayers, the technical issues seem to have finally been resolved!

Please Do Not leave this page without the surety in your heart that you are a child of His light..

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life.
