YHVH, I AM and Elohim: The Three Parts
Every story runs on three parts. Learn these and the rest is easy.
| Part | What it means | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| YHVH (the LORD) | “The existing One” (Strong’s H3068). You, aware right now | Offers an identity |
| I AM | The identity you choose and claim | The ruling you ask for |
| Elohim | The judges and rulers: many inner voices | Make real the identity you hold most firmly |
How it works: YHVH offers an I AM, and Elohim makes it real. Elohim is not one person. It is a team of voices that rule as one.
Example, Joseph: in the pit, Joseph is YHVH, aware of where he is right now. The identity of ruler is the I AM. The rules of reality that carry it out are Elohim. Joseph goes from the pit to the palace.
