Hephzibah
Hephzibah is the name of a woman who pleases God. Miryam of Netzaret pleased him above all women,
so much so that he chose her to be the mother of the Messiah.
In Revelation 12 Miryam appears with a crown of twelve stars (she is the Virgin Daughter of Israel). She is
dressed in the sun (the New Testament) and stands on the firm foundation of the moon (the Old Testament).
She brought forth a Man-child - Yahshuah,. The seven-headed dragon (Satan) tried to kill the child at his
birth, but Yahveh protected him. At sometime during his childhood "The child was caught up to the throne of God." This was Yahshuah's first
ascent to heaven.
Millions of Christians have gone to the point of idolatry (Mariolatry) over Miryam. She was the mother
of the man Jesus (Yahshuah). But she is not the mother of God.
Her son was miraculously and non-sexually
conceived by the power of God, but he was a human being not a god or demi-god. Miryam is a woman resting
in her grave. We are not to pray to the dead. We are only to pray to the Father and Yahshuah and are warned not to try to communicate with
those resting in the sleep of death. Worshipping Miryam amounts to idolatry. We are to worship only the father.
She was the most blessed of all women, but she was only a flesh and blood woman like all women. She serves as
the best role model for women, but she was never meant to be an object of adoration.
The point of this vision is to show Yahshuah's early ascent to heaven to be instructed by Yahveh.
