INTRODUCTION:

I created this page to document Scriptural references to the Holy Spirit or ruach hachodesh. Modern Christianity seems to believe this is a New Testament concept. I am documenting evidence that the concept Holy Spirit has been in existence since the beginning. I am also documenting the many varieties of the Holy Spirit in an attempt to bridge the gap between the Old and New Testaments and to better understand the Holy Spirit.

'SPIRIT ' WORD STUDY:

The word 'spirit' is used 505 times in the Scriptures. Of those 505 instances, roughly half occur in the TeNaKh and half in the B'rit Chadasha.

In the TeNaKh, the predominant use is Strong's number H7307. There are seven (7) exceptions in the TeNaKh and these are all Strong's number H178.

In the B'rit Chadasha, the predominant use is Strong's number H4151. There is only one exception in the B'rit Chadasha and this is for Strong's number 5326.

The words 'spirits' and 'spiritual' also exhibit this same exclusivity. This seems to make it apparent that the meaning of the word in the B'rit Chadasha is the same as the meaning of the word in the TeNaKh.

(KJV)

16"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil." (KJV)

32"And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him." (KJV)
