Jewish New Testament Commentary

For in him, in the Messiah Yeshua, bodily, in an actual human body and not merely in an imitation of one, as many pagan heretics taught (see 1 Yn 4:2&N, 2 Yn 7&N), lives the fullness (pleÆroÆma again, see 1:19) of all that God is. Literally, “Because in him dwells all the fullness of the divine nature, bodily.” The Greek word “theoteÆs” and two similar words, “theioteÆs” at Ro 1:20 and “theion” at Ac 17:29, each mean “deity, divinity, divine nature.” Each occurs only once in the New Testament, each appears in a context where Sha’ul is dealing with pagan issues, and each, in the King James Version, is rendered, “Godhead.” “Godhead” has a distinctly non-Jewish ring to it, because Judaism speaks of the personal God, not the abstract and impersonal “Godhead” of “philosophy” (v. 8). On the other hand, Reuben Alcalay’s The Complete Hebrew-English Dictionary lists “Godhead” as one way to translate the Hebrew word Sh<khinah (on which see MJ 1:2–3N).

 

 

 

The fullness of G-d, the fullness of the Ruach Ha Kodesh were all revealed in the life of Messiah because His life manifested G-d’s Character, G-d’s power and G-d’s Love and ALL that G-d is. We are complete in Him .  As Messiah is One with the Father, we are one with the Father also because we are in Messiah.

 

Thank you Father that we are complete in Messiah

 

Shalom Aleychem B’Shem Yeshua
