John 1:18
                 No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God,
                 Who is in the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He
                 has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him
                 and He has made Him known].
                 (Amplified Bible)

                     When God wanted to form the creation it was necessary to make Himself known to
               the creation. Yet a physical creation cannot see that which exists in Spirit alone. Yahweh
               had to do something to reveal Himself even as a man must do something to make the
               thoughts of his mind known to others. Yahweh formed a Word.


                 John 1:14
                 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the
                 only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

                     Yahweh exhaled His Spirit and formed a Word. It was a perfect Word that fully
               revealed Himself. This Word became flesh so that mankind could perceive it. The Word is
               the Son of God. The Son has perfectly declared, manifested, and made known the Father.

                 John 14:9
                 Yahshua said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know
                 Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father..."

                     When the Father wanted to reveal Himself to creation He formed the Word. As the
               Father showed this to me He showed me the process by which a word is formed. We utter
               forth speech as we breathe out. Yahweh designed speech to be accomplished in this manner.
               Speech is accompanied by the exhalation of man's breath.
                     Throughout the Bible the word for Spirit is always related to the word for breath, air,
               or wind. In the Old Testament the word is "ruach." The first occurrence is found in the
               second verse of the Bible.


                 Genesis 1:2
                 The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
                 Spirit [ruach] of God was moving over the surface of the waters.

                     This same word is used in the following verses.


                 Genesis 7:22
                 All in whose nostrils was the breath [ruach] of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.

                 Genesis 8:1
                 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him
                 in the ark: and God made a wind [ruach] to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged...


                     When man breathes out his exhalation is breath. When Yahweh breathes out, His
