The Hebrew Alphabet + + + + + + + Pursuing HOLINESS - BEYT

GREEN: God      YELLOW: Believer    ORANGE: Sin / death / unbelief 
BLUE: Hebrew thought

HOLINESS, like MARRIAGE is to be SET APART in RELATIONSHIP. BEYT, the HOUSE - signifies family relationship, especially with regard to the WIFE. It is said [Rabbi Yitzach Ginsburgh] that a 'man's house is his wife'. As a man enters his HOUSE, [his wife] and creates a family, a man enters his earthly house, and greets his family.

Jesus Christ entered 'his house / wife' when He came in the flesh [John 1:1-14] and has brought / is bringing [Hebrews 2:10] many sons to glory, that when He again 'enters His HOUSE', he will greet His family.

The BEYT is composed of three VAV's
VAV is a point of CONNECTION
by name: the UPRIGHT MAN, the LIGHT.

1John 5:7-8
For there are three that bear record in heaven,
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
And there are three that bear witness in earth,
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
and these three agree in one.

From the beginning [Genesis 1:2], and after man sinned [Genesis 3:15], there was a 'prayer for redemption' of mankind's unholy [separated: darkened and sinful] state. God answered that prayer [John 1:1-14; John 3:16-17] sending His only begotten Son to redeem mankind's relationship with the living God. HOLY RELATIONSHIP is consummated in and through blood. Just as there is a witness of blood as a husband breaks open the physical veil [hymen] of his [virgin] bride, so too, the physical consummation of the cross of Jesus Christ, witnessed by blood that cried out from Jerusalem's soil, Jesus rent the veil of the Holy of Holies, for holy offspring, that man have a 'holy relationship' with His God. [Revelation 21: the bride, the Lamb's wife, the holy Jerusalem].

A HOUSE is established by the FATHER, in His Name. The SON, upon marriage, establishes His own HOUSE, carrying on His Father's Name. A HOUSE is known by NAME and is the provision for family relationship. God calls His HOUSE [Isaiah 56:7; Mark 11:17] a 'house of prayer' for all nations.

Ephesians 3:14-15
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
0f whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named ...

Romans 8:16-17
The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;
if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

  1Peter 2  1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,  2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,
  3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.  4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men,
    but chosen by God and precious,  5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood,     to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,    "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,    And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."
 7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,     "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"
 8 and "A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense."    They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.
 9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,    His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him    who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;  
10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God,    who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

HOLINESS begins in ALEF [Jehovah] and continues growth in BEYT [Son of God / Man] revealing the FATHER and his FRUIT / offspring.
ALEF - docile - submitting to instruction and control
BEYT - a witness of family relationship

FRUIT / OFFSPRING

DWELL in RELATIONSHIP / PRAY           RECEIVE INSTRUCTION

Jehovah / Jesus is Master of the House, overcoming death [Acts 10:37-42], the kingdom of God upon his family in the power of the cross [1Co 1:18], the power of the gospel [Romans 1:16], the power of the blood that has power over death [Hebrews 2:14]. As children and heirs, we are to submit to instruction and control, pray in faith, building the most 'holy faith' [Jude 1:20-21].

Jude 1:20-21
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, 
PRAYING in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Hebrews 12:14
Pursue διωκω dioko peace with all men,
and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Righteousness is a free gift [Romans 5:17] but 'holiness' must be PURSUED.

Jehovah God pursued HOLINESS to the point of laying His own life down for us, that we could have eternal life with Him. Will we pursue HOLINESS to the point of laying down 'our sin life' for HIM?

We have a choice to think, speak, and act on the Word of God
OR
to decide to think, speak and act in sin - our own self-interest.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,

BEYT- the HOUSE: to DWELL in FAMILY RELATIONSHIP - a relationship of pursuing HOLINESS.
