God’s Naturein the Blood

The Egg

• As I learned about the nature of God, He revealed to me the concept of the egg while working on the presentation Understanding John 1:1-2, Is Yeshua God or a god?

God’s Nature in the Blood

• God continued to reveal His nature to me – this time in blood.

• So, in this presentation, we will look at the three categories of peripheral blood cells to see what they reveal about God.

Father

First, let’s review the concept of the egg.

Yeshua –the Word

RuachHaKodesh

Yeshua, who was/will be seen, dwells in the bosom of the Father (John 1:18) and/or sits at the right hand of the Father (Acts 5:31).

The Father, who is not seen, provides blessings such as nourishment and protection.

The Ruach HaKodesh, whose manifestations can be seen, is the breath of God or an emanating effluence of God’s Spirit.

God’s Nature in the Womb

• Humans, which begin as fertilized eggs, are created in the image of God.

• Their development in the amniotic fluid and uterus parallels the pattern of God, which I depicted as a basic egg or cell.


• Blood cells, like most other cells, are not that much different from an egg.

Let’s take a closer look at blood under the microscope to see what we can learn about God’s nature!


• Each kind of blood cell is produced from stem cells in the bone marrow.

Three Types of Cells

• Normally, with the exception of the presence of certain disease states, there are basically three kinds of mature cells in the peripheral blood stream (blood vessels).

• Erythrocytes (Red cells)

• Leukocytes (White cells)

• Thrombocytes (Platelets)

White cells

PlateletsRed cells


• While in the bone marrow, the red cells had a nucleus and cytoplasm, just like an egg is composed of the yolk and albumen.

• The white cells never lost their nucleus.

White cells

PlateletsRed cells


• The time period of cell maturation in the bone marrow makes me think of when Yeshua was with the Father before He was born of the virgin Mary, as well as Yeshua being with the Father now.

PlateletsRed cells

The Spirit is Like Platelets

• Platelets come from megakaryocytes.

• Megakaryocytes create platelets by releasing protoplatelets that break up into numerous smaller, functional platelets.

• Platelets help stop bleeding.

The Spirit is Like Platelets

• Platelets make me think of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) which is an emanating effluence of God’s Spirit.

• In God’s people, the Spirit manifests itself as the gifts of the Spirit to nurture and take care of the body.

Red Cells Are Like the Father And the Son

• Red cells normally lose their nucleus before leaving the bone marrow; however, nucleated red cells can be present in the peripheral blood in newborns, and also in certain disease states or circumstances in adults.

Nucleated Red Cells


• Red cells carry oxygen

to the tissues in order to

maintain life.Nucleated Red Cells


• The Father, which is represented by a mature denucleated red cell, blesses our lives as we keep His covenant by obeying His commandments.

• Meanwhile, we are to keep the faith of Yeshua.

Nucleated Red Cells


• Mature red cells remind

me that Yeshua left the

Father to come and

minister on earth for

about 3 years’ time.

• The normal life span of a

red cell is about 120

days, a multiple of 3.

Nucleated Red Cells

• Our immune system is comprised of white blood cells that always have their nucleus.

• Each type of white cell has a specific function such as destroying invaders via phagocytosis, enzymes, toxic substances, or by antibody production.

Bone Marrow

• White cells also

remind me of the

assembly (church).

• Each member of the

assembly has a

different spiritual gift

and function in the

body.

• White cells remind me that Yeshua was reunited with the Father after His resurrection.

• They also remind me that Yeshua -- יהוהof Hosts -- will return to fight God’s enemies at the battle of Armageddon.

The Life of the Flesh is in the Blood

• As a whole, blood has an important purpose found in Leviticus 17:11 –

• “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.” Photo by John Kalekos of Massachusetts image distribution for Science and Learning -

• "And I will establish My covenant with you. Then you shall know that I am 63 ,יהוה "that you may remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done," says ִאֲדֹניָ יהְוה(the Lord God).

Amen.”
