"For Elohim so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" "Porque Elohim amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna" (John 3:16). "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Messiah: for it is the power of Elohim unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" ; "Porque não me envergonho do evangelho do Messias, pois é o poder de Elohim para salvação de todo aquele que crê; primeiro do judeu, e também do grego".(Romans 1:16). "But Elohim commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us" ; "Mas Elohim prova o seu amor para conosco, em que o Messias morreu por nós, sendo nós ainda pecadores." (Romans 5:8). "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Adon Yeshua, and shalt believe in thine heart that Elohim hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same ADONAI over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the ADONAI shall be saved. " ; "A saber: Se com a tua boca confessares a ADON Yeshua, e em teu coração creres que Elohim o ressuscitou dentre os mortos, serás salvo. Visto que com o coração se crê para a justiça, e com a boca se faz confissão para a salvação. Porque a Escritura diz: Todo aquele que nele crer não será confundido. Porquanto não há diferença entre judeu e grego; porque um mesmo é o ADONAI de todos, rico para com todos os que o invocam. Porque todo aquele que invocar o nome de ADONAI será salvo." (Romans 10:9-13). "...Elohim hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." ; "E o testemunho é este: que Elohim nos deu a vida eterna; e esta vida está em seu Filho".(I John 5:11). "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of Elohim hath not life." ; "Quem tem o Filho tem a vida; quem não tem o Filho de Elohim não tem a vida". (I John 5:12). For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of Elohim is eternal life through Yeshua HaMashiach Adoneinu" ; "Porque o salário do pecado é a morte, mas o dom gratuito de Deus é a vida eterna, por Yeshua HaMashiach nosso Senhor".(Romans 6:23).

Further thoughts on Parashat Vayera

In Hebrew, an "angel" is called malakh (מַלְאַךְ), a word that basically means "messenger" or representative (from the root לאך, meaning "to send"). God created many angels, of course (Psalm 68:17, 103:20), but there there is one malakh who stands out from all the rest of the malakhim (angels) as a King stands above his subjects. This "King of Angels" is called Malakh Adonai (מַלְאַךְ יהוה), or "the Angel of the Lord." Unlike the other angels that function as emissaries of God, Malakh Adonai is the supreme representation or Message of God Himself. His Word/Voice is "one" with the Person of God, just as the Spirit of God is "one" with the Person of God. Since the glory and power of God's infinite Being is incomprehensible to finite creatures, the Angel of the LORD is a form of God's condescension in a visible or audible manner so that an angel or a human being can apprehend His message.... This unique King of the Angels, or "Angel of the LORD," is named in about 50 verses of the Tanakh (i.e., "Old Testament"), though he is alluded to in various other places as well (e.g., Gen. 18:1-ff; Gen. 48:16, Exod. 23:20-23, etc.). He is first mentioned in Genesis 16:7-13 where He is clearly called God. After he spoke with Hagar in the desert, she called him "the LORD" (יהוה) and identified Him as El-Roi (אֵל ראִי) -- the "God who sees me" (Gen. 16:13). He later appeared to Abraham in the grove at Mamre (Gen. 18:1-ff) to reaffirm the promise of a coming heir, and later still, during the most terrifying moment of the sacrifice of Isaac, he cried out to stop Abraham from bringing down the knife on his son (Gen. 22:11, see also Gen. 22:15-ff). And note especially that it was the "Angel of the LORD" who appeared to Moses in the "burning bush" and identified himself as YHVH, the "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" (see Exod. 3:2-ff). Other examples from the Tanakh should be noted. The Angel of the LORD helped Gideon deliver Israel from Midian (Judges 6:11-13); he prophesied regarding the birth of Samson (Judges 13); he led Elijah to Mt. Horeb (1 Kings 19); he commanded David to build an altar which later became part of the Holy Temple (1 Chron. 21:18), and he is mentioned in Psalm 34:7 ("The Angel of the LORD camps around those who fear him") and in Psalm 35:6-7. In light of all this, it is clear that that Malakh Adonai is nothing less than a manifestation of the LORD Himself. Indeed, the prophet Isaiah calls him the "Angel of His Face" (מַלְאָךְ פָּנָיו, Isa. 63:9). And since Yeshua is the "radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, who upholds the universe by the word of his power" (Heb. 1:3), it is clear that He is the Angel of God's face -- the "message of God" -- that was "sent" (לאך) in human flesh (John 1:1,14). Yeshua is the King of Angels -- He is the Angel of the LORD! Indeed, Yeshua is Melekh Ha-kavod, the King of God's Glory (Psalm 24) and Adonai Tzeva'ot (יהוה צְבָאוֹת), the LORD of the heavenly host.
