Motsah

Pronunciation: moh-TSAH

Who He Is

Motsah is Jesus Christ, the Savior. “Motsah was the name given by our first parents to the Man that Anokeesed became, because the essence of His being is precisely that of the living water” (Melchizedek 3:52). “Kahee is the Holy Spirit, Anokeesed is the Father, and Motsah the Lamb is the Son” (Enoch, Seth 5:58).

The Meaning of His Name

“The name Motsah means going forth, a fountain, springs of water, the rising of the sun, that which is gone out, or a water course,” because “the Son of God went out with them when they left Eden” (Enoch, Seth 1:72). To the first parents “the name Motsah the Lamb meant the God who goes with me, and to the ancients it is a lovely name of the One who brings forgiveness of sin and comfort from sorrows, and it is the first name that man used to address our lovely Son of God” (Enoch, Seth 1:9).

How He Received His Name

When Yaatsekawd and Cavah left Eden, God followed them out. He healed a hurt finger, and the wind could blow His garments; His presence was comforting in a new way, and they knew Him as sweet, clear, running water (Enoch, Introduction). When the Lord beheld the hurt finger of Cavah, “Yaatsekawd saw a tear in His eye… and they comprehended not that because of their sin that it was Motsah the Lamb and He was becoming temporal with them” (Enoch, Seth 7:50). Though they did not forget the name Anokeesed, “they most often after that called Him Motsah the Lamb because for them the joys of forgiveness overshadowed all they knew about their Creator” (Enoch, Seth 5:57).

Why He Is Called the Lamb

In a world grown violent, where animals now preyed on one another, Yaatsekawd and Cavah knew Motsah as absolutely harmless, like a baby lamb. When a lamb spoke to them one day, the Lord began to embody that feeling of harmlessness, and before the Flood, Christ was first known as Motsah the Lamb (Enoch, Introduction). “Because a lamb of their offering brought this word to them they called the Son of God the Lamb of God” (Enoch, Seth 1:9).

His Gentleness

“Motsah the Lamb is as any lamb. He is soft and mild and gentle and infinitely harmless, and He has no capacity to be aggressive or impose Himself on anyone. And as with any lamb one is struck by His sweetness and innocence” (Grandmothers 8:4). In His walk in the flesh, “Motsah prayed for those who acted despitefully… and He healed the brokenhearted… and Motsah was gentle with all people… and He said Put down your sword” (Moses 4:95).

The Lamb Who Will Not Impose

“He will not engage with anyone who is hesitant or doubtful or fearful to engage with Him. And this is not weakness or timidity but is out of a complete respect for that which people choose to desire concerning Him” (Grandmothers 8:4). “Because Motsah is so gentle and unobtrusive and because His love is so tender He will not assert Himself to impose on others. So if you do not come before Him feeling that which allows Him to feel free that you fully welcome Him He will withhold” (Grandmothers 8:40).

His Burden

Motsah carries a burden for His Father and for His children. When wickedness swelled on the earth, the Eerkodeshiy were so alarmed that they put one foot back into Elda, “and Motsah was hanging on for all He was worth trying to keep the presence of His Father connected to creation in the temporal world so it could continue to be openly felt” (Melchizedek 7:165; see 7:125). Before the Flood, “our poor Motsah the Lamb staggered under His burden, and the earth groaned under the weight of it” (Grandmothers 11:27). Enoch “came directly to the aid of Motsah with His burden” (Melchizedek 7:190). And “duty cannot motivate a covenant that will ease His burden, but it must be brought into the hearts of men simply and only built upon a deep and personal love for the Man” (Grandmothers 3:85).

Sharing His Feelings

Abarah taught seven qualities of spirit that let a person cross over to experience Eden while in the flesh. Among them: “you must view Motsah the Lamb as One who has shared emotions with you in all things holy in your humanity,” and while He knows when a person feels vindictive, greedy, lustful or prideful, “He will not share those emotions with you.” “And you must be willing to accept His emotions when He is feeling them alone and stir yourself to feel them with Him in order to comfort or praise Him… And you must learn to love everything and everybody He loves with Him.” For “Motsah the Lamb is the only means whereby man can be forgiven and made clean before Anokeesed” (Grandmothers 8:19–25).

Living Water and Living Bread

“Motsah is the Living Water that goes out with us along our way to bless us and sustain us in all our trials and to bear us up” (Grandmothers 3:102). “When Motsah is the Living Water He is the Messenger of Salvation, and when He is the Living Bread that came down from heaven He is the Herald of Redemption” (Moses 16:119).

The Angel of the Presence

In the Book of Moses He is the Angel of the Presence. At the burning bush Moses met “the Angel of the Presence,” and the note reads simply: “Motsah the Lamb” (Moses 8:40, n. 119). Jacob “recognized the Lord to be the Angel of the Presence who had embraced him… and Motsah said Be of good comfort” (Moses 4:69). The inhabitants of Olam “did not have the spirit of life of the Angel of the Presence who is the Messiah of Israel” (Moses 14:35). (The twelve Eerkodeshiy called the Angels of the Presence, in the plural, are a separate council; Melchizedek 2:9.)

The Word Made Flesh

“Motsah the Lamb is the Word of Anokeesed made flesh, and the Holy Spirit is the Word of Motsah made spirit” (Melchizedek 8:42). Born of a holy woman, “Motsah became the Son of His Left Hand, even the Messenger of Salvation” (Melchizedek 2:65), and He “became the Son of His right hand, He being the Prince of Righteousness” (Melchizedek 2:140).

He Puts the Law into Every Soul

“While Gabriel gave the Law definition and Jacob put the Law into all creation to give rise to the Book of Life, Messiah put the Law into the soul of every vision of created purpose that has ever been found upon the earth.” This came “when the Man that Anokeesed became experienced the sins of mankind in the temporal world.” Through the Law of Jeshurun, “Motsah applied the Oneness of the love of His Father for each human soul as if it was the only reason for His Father to create, thus the desires of Anokeesed found in each of the laws are specifically for you” (Moses 16:118–121).

His Oneness with Anokeesed

Anokeesed became a Man: “Anokeesed declared that He would come Himself as a Man of flesh to rescue His children” (Grandmothers 4:60). Motsah is the name the first parents gave to the Man that Anokeesed became. Prayer is made in the name of the Son, Motsah the Lamb, before the Father, and both truths are held as one.

For how Anokeesed came in the flesh, in the words of the books, see Anokeesed: God in the Flesh. His earthly life, as told in the Books of Achee, is under Messiah.

His Covenant with Gabriel

“The token of the covenant Motsah the Lamb made with Gabriel is before us to guide us in the way” (Enoch, Bedal 8:58). Gabriel is the new name Anokeesed gave to Yaatsekawd (Grandmothers 1:13; Moses 2:37).

Prophesied at Enoch’s Birth

Cavah came to Baraka “being one sent of Motsah the Lamb” to deliver her son Enoch (Enoch, Seth 1:103). She foretold that after the Flood “there shall come a man who shall covenant with the Eerkodeshoi sevenfold that Motsah the Lamb shall have a sure place in all creation” (Seth 1:118), and that “the Son of Man who is begotten in our lives and hearts will appear in the flesh among men to walk with them, and your son Enoch will see His day and be comforted” (Seth 1:121).
