No Artificially Bald or Beardless Men Allowed Before Elohiym!!

No Artificially Bald or Beardless Men Allowed Before Elohiym!!
08.11.2015 LISTEN

Not long ago, a reader posted a comment to my article titled After “Circus” Evolved into “Church”, What Next? Hell Fire?? I published in this very medium. He totally agreed with me on its substance but still wanted to know my thoughts on how men must treat the hairs on their heads, since I said in that article that it was wrong for men to, as a daily routine, shave off their beards—almost as fast as Elohiym causes them to grow overnight!

It seemed to me that the reader, Kwame Kesse by name, made his inquiry on behalf of many other readers of that article and thus the reason why I choose to respond through a full article so that my thoughts may benefit many.

To begin with, let us go to the day Elohiym created man [Adam] in Beresheet (Genesis) 1:26-30. Here, we see Elohiym deliver to Earth a mature Adam—and not a baby who must grow to a toddler, a boy, and then into a man. Adam was a fully grown man on his day of birth! He was fully mature and, thus, imbued with all the features of wisdom he needed to enable him rule or exercise dominion over all of Creation—in the stead of Elohiym—as was required of him to do.

No doubt, for Adam to be successful in ruling all Creation in the stead of Elohiym, he had to look like [and act like] Him in every way—especially by his facial appearance, with all hairs in place to scare and command reverence from all creatures, just like those of Elohiym would!!

So, Adam had at his appearance on Earth all of a man's mature facial hair features imprinted on him from those of his Maker and, thus, was made to be in the same image of his Creator!! He had a crop of holy wooly hair on his head, a full beard, moustache, side burns, eye brows and lashes; all perfectly delineated and in the right places according to the wisdom and power in the design of the Master Architect of the Universe! And so, who was Adam to seek to undo whatever the Creator had done in love for him??

We must note that whatever Elohiym gives to man He expects him to not only keep and perfectly maintain in holy reverence, but to also show Him gratitude, appreciation and thanks for giving them as rare and worthy blessings to him. For man to cast away a gift—such as any of his facial hairs—would be deemed an insult to the Creator and, thus, a sin against Him.

Happily, for all the problems that Adams caused to come upon his offspring, they were not compounded by any irreverence to Elohiym and His gift of facial hairs to him! It seems Adam left that particular sin of irreverence to Elohiym's gift of facial hair to be committed by his offspring and for them to bear the consequences directly!

Amazingly, even before the Torah was given to Yisroel with instructions on their maintenance of facial hairs, no one person is known to have committed any sin against Elohiym or himself by not keeping all of his facial hairs! And please, do not say the people living on Earth then were not homo sapiens or that they did not live in an era of modernism!

Of all the sins committed by men against Elohiym's gift of facial hairs today, the most popular one is, as I stated in my article under reference, the sin of routinely shaving off their beards every morning; and its high popularity in male homo sapiens' behavior is all I sought to draw attention to in that article for my readers to ponder over!

Of course, any way that a man treats any of his facial hairs, not considering them as being needful gifts from his Maker [even though he never solicits them of Him], is sinful to Him; for, will Yahuwah Elohiym do anything that was unnecessary or valueless in His scheme of things at Creation?? Will He do anything superfluous or make an addition to a man's body only for him to determine it as being vestigial, and so must be shaved off his body on a daily basis??

Just consider this: A man asks for his daily bread from his Maker and happily goes to bed every night well-fed. During his sleep in the night, his bread-Provider converts the food he eats into living substances in order to repair any damaged body tissues in the man, provide him with a store of energy for the next day's activities, and grow new parts such as facial hairs.

Then the man wakes up in the morning and, without thought, takes a razor to undo the work his Maker did for him in making his hairs grow while he slept, thus, causing his Maker to have labored in vain!! If you were the maker of such a man, my dear reader, would you be happy with him?

Many men would routinely reconfigure the borders of their facial hairs, as if to say their Maker did not do a good designing job of their face and so must be corrected! Doing this, they take away all of the facial hairs they hate or dislike to have on their face, while making prominent the ones they like to keep!! I hope you see what I mean; but if you do not, take a look at a photo of Hitler, Mugabe, TBJoshua, Agyin-Asare or Owusu-Bempah to get my point!

For anyone to seek to redesign what facial hair features the Creator has designed to perfection and in love for His Creation, this must be very offensive and an insult to Him—and, hence, a sin on that man's part. So, just open your eyes wide and see all the many men sinning against their Maker with impunity by reconfiguring the borders of their facial hairs—all in the name of fashion! How I would hate to be a part of this unholy generation that engages in this folly!!

Facial hairs are holy gifts from Yahuwah that must be received with thanks and kept with all reverence! In fact, Yahuwah has laws in the Torah governing how facial hairs must be kept—cf. Vayikra (Leviticus) 19:27, 21:5—and is angered by every violator of these laws.

You see, the hair on a man's head is his crown of glory given to him by his Maker; and when it turns grey (or hoary) it must draw honor, respect, and reverence to the one blessed in having it from all—Vayikra (Leviticus) 19:32, Mishle (Proverbs) 16:31. This is the will of Elohiym for you, dear old man!

So, from these verses of Scripture, whenever a man dyes his grey hair black or makes his head bald, he does not deserve to get what honor his Maker commands men to give him, simply because he has made himself undeserving of their honor; he camouflages or hides the respect that would have been due him!!

No man should seek to make his Maker a liar by dying his grey hair black or black hair white when Elohiym says that, no matter how much one worries, one cannot turn one's hair from white to black and vice versa—cf. MattitYahu (Matthew) 5:36.

Man ought to appreciate that the hairs on a person's head are of such great importance and value to him/her and to Elohiym that He says He would order an investigation and a probe into whatever may cause one hair strand to fall off without His consent—cf. MattitYahu (Matthew) 10:29-31, Lukas (Luke) 12:6-7, 21:18.

From the inception of the Torah through to the last day of the last shliakh (apostle?) on Earth, every man in Yisroel sported all his full crop of facial hairs, except when he shaved to restart a vow of holy self consecration to Elohiym as a NazirBamidbar (Numbers) 6:1-9. Note that the vow of a Nazir is, to date, the holiest vow a man can make to his Maker!

No evidence exists in Yisroel's history of any Kohen Gadol (High Priest) daring to enter the presence of Elohiym in the Kodesh HaKadoshim (Holy of Holies) in the Beit HaMikdash (House of Elohiym or “Temple” in YahuSalem?) without all his facial hairs in place. Such a Kohen Gadol would be courting instant death!

Men who were ambassadors of Yisroel in the service of Dovid HaMelekh (David the king), who, for a reason, had their beards disfigured or reconfigured, were barred from entering into the presence of Dovid—cf. ShmuEl Beth (Second Samuel) 10:5 until they had grown them again.

Absalom, a prince of Yisroel, is recorded to always give his facial hairs a barber's treat once every year! And this, interestingly, always made great news—cf. ShmuEl Beth (Second Samuel) 14:26.

Your knowledge of the holy lives of any men of Elohiym—Noakh, Avraham, Moshe, Aharon, ElYahu, DaniEl, YahuKhanan ben ZakharYahu, Shimon Kefa, Sha'ul, etc—is incomplete without your knowledge that they all, like Yahushua himself, imitated Yahuwah Elohiym who never cuts His facial hairs!

Anyone today, who claims he lives in or can be allowed into the presence of Elohiym, or that His Ben, Yahushua, lives in him, but sports a reconfigured facial hair, only a part of his beard, or dyed hair, is only a liar and an imposter if he puts himself out as an emissary of Elohiym—pastor, prophet, apostle, bishop, archbishop, or popish papa!

In any case, who says Yahuwah Elohiym ever gives English titles to any one of His genuine servants?? Think about this!!

As a shofar (ram-horn trumpet) blower of Elohiym, I am, by this article, dutifully warning mankind according to His Word in YechezkEl (Ezekiel?) 33:6-7; and this, I do in love for my readers. Will this generation heed the Word of Elohiym? Dear reader, my prayer is that your spiritual eyes will become opened to the truth so you may be delivered from the deception of the English Bible. Shalom aleikhem.
