I have no delight in corruptible food, nor in the pleasures of this life. I desire the bread of God, the heavenly bread, the bread of life, which is the flesh of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became afterwards of the seed of David and Abraham; and I desire the drink of God, namely His blood, which is incorruptible love and eternal life.

Me too….

In Hebrew the word for Bread is Lechem ….

Bethlehem means House of Bread … where Jesus is born. He is the bread of life …. Lechem Le’chaim

לחם ל חַיִים

The word’s “bread” and “life” are very similar in Hebrew…

The Hebrew word for Blood is “Dam” …. It’s in the name of A-dam ….

Ben A-dam (Hebrew) is the “Son of Man” … the name Jesus uses for Himself in the Gospels.

In Aramaic it is Bar Enosh …. Son of Man

בַ֥ר אֱנָ֖שׁ

As we read in Aramaic … Daniel 7:13 -14

The Divine Son of Man coming on the clouds :

I saw in the visions of the night, and behold with the clouds of the heaven, one like a Son of Man was coming, and he came up to the Ancient of Days and was brought before Him.

יגחָזֵ֚ה הֲוֵית֙ בְּחֶזְוֵ֣י לֵֽילְיָ֔א וַֽאֲרוּ֙ עִם־עֲנָנֵ֣י שְׁמַיָּ֔א כְּבַ֥ר אֱנָ֖שׁ אָתֵ֣ה הֲוָ֑א וְעַד־עַתִּ֚יק יֽוֹמַיָּא֙ מְטָ֔ה וּקְדָמ֖וֹהִי הַקְרְבֽוּהִי:

And He gave him dominion and glory and a kingdom, and all peoples, nations, and tongues shall serve him; his dominion is an eternal dominion, which will not be removed, and his kingdom is one which will not be destroyed.

וְלֵ֨הּ יְהִ֚ב שָׁלְטָן֙ וִיקָ֣ר וּמַלְכ֔וּ וְכֹ֣ל עַמְמַיָּ֗א אֻמַּיָּ֛א וְלִשָּֽׁנַיָּ֖א לֵ֣הּ יִפְלְח֑וּן שָׁלְטָנֵ֞הּ שָׁלְטַ֚ן עָלַם֙ דִּי־לָ֣א יֶעְדֵּ֔ה וּמַלְכוּתֵ֖הּ דִּי־לָ֥א תִתְחַבַּֽל:

This is Jesus The Messiah.

Our Salvation

Yeshua. (Hebrew word for Salvation)
