El Rachum - God of Compassion


DEUTERONOMY 4:31 KJV

(For the LORD thy God is a MERCIFUL God;)

he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee,

nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.


Merciful is a translation of the original hebrew word, which is Rachum

H7349 Merciful

Original: רחוּם

Transliteration: RACHUM

Phonetic: rakh-oom'

Strong's Definition: From H7355; COMPASSIONATE:- full of compassion, merciful.

Hebrew and Greek is so rich


H7355

Original: רחם

Transliteration: RÂCHAM

Phonetic: raw-kham'

to LOVE, love deeply, have MERCY,

be COMPASSIONATE, have tender affection.



When the bible says He is a compassionate God, it is like a womb

H7358 matrix

Original: רחם

Transliteration: RECHEM

Phonetic: rekh'-em

Strong's Definition: From H7355; the WOMB (compare H7356):- matrix, womb.


JOHN 3:1-2 NKJV

There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.


This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.”



God loves us from the birth (womb)

JOHN 3:3-4 NLT

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth,

UNLESS YOU are BORN AGAIN,


you cannot SEE the KINGDOM of GOD.”

JOHN 3:3-4 NLT

“What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus.


“How can an old man go back into his mother’s WOMB and be born again?”


He is thinking physical and God is thinking spiritual

JOHN 3:5-6 NLT

Jesus replied, “I assure you, NO ONE can enter the Kingdom of God WITHOUT BEING BORN of WATER and the SPIRIT.


Humans can reproduce only HUMAN LIFE,

but the Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE.


You enter the spiritual realm, that is when you got born again

There is no such things that one become christian without receiving the Word


Personally accept Him into your heart

That is called born again


JESUS was talking with Nicodemus who was a leader of the Jewish people and would have known Torah/Tenach, the Old Testament.


Everything Messiah Jesus/Yeshua referred to was in Torah, the Hebrew Scriptures, which is what we call the Old Testament.

The idea is always in man, the desire to be born again. it is already inherit in human being, just that we don't know how to be born again.


the desire to be born again after physical death.


Yes this is for real, you can be born again and have new life that you always wanted, but this is spiritual realm.


Human can reproduce only human life

Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life


JESUS was talking with Nicodemus who was a leader of the Jewish people and would have known Torah/Tenach, the Old Testament.


Everything Messiah Jesus/Yeshua referred to was in Torah, the Hebrew Scriptures, which is what we call the Old Testament.


Grace and faith existed in the time of Old Testament


They talked about the beginning of new life


JESUS told Nicodemus that to ENTER heaven,

(the KINGDOM of the HEAVENS )

malkutshamayim”שָׁמַיִם (shamayim)

mal•chootha•sha•má•yim


ONE MUST BE BORN AGAIN.



In Hebrew, the word for ‘WOMB’ gives us a fresh and beautifully significant picture.


The word for WOMB, is RECHEM, and it comes from the word Racham. Racham speaks of mercy, tender love and compassion.





RACHAM also means WOMB as well as MERCY and is used in the Word of God to speak of His MERCY and LOVE as in EL RACHUM.


H7356

Original: רחם

Transliteration: RACHAM

Phonetic: rakh'-am


Strong's Definition: From H7355; compassion (in the plural);

the womb (as cherishing the foetus); by implication a maiden:- bowels, compassion, damsel, tender love, (great, tender) mercy, pity, womb.



The LOVE / ahav and MERCY / racham of God / Adonai, is like a WOMB / rechem


When a NEW LIFE is being formed, the only real protection is in the WOMB.


Hei means to see or to watch over


When a NEW LIFE is being formed, the only real protection is in the WOMB.



Each one of us have been here for around 9 months.

The letter TET, as the number nine numerically, represents general GOODNESS.

The Hebrew word 'tov' (good) begins with the letter TET.


The first time TET appears in the Torah is in Genesis 1:4, in the word tov.

The numerical value of the letter TET signifies truth and eternity.


By saving us, it started with His love and compassion

It was the will of the parents for the baby to be born


In the womb the baby is protected for 9 months

In the spiritual we are all born again like that

We were all under the compassion and love of God

His mercy compassion was extended to us


Everything is defined by God's word

The womb Rechem is a place of nurturing, tenderness and development of the physical body, in preparation to exist and live within the Earth’s environment.


Every individual needs that or we would never have been born the first time.

He gives us the grace to believe Him

You were born again of the will of God

PSALM 110:3 KJV

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the WOMB of the Morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH.


The womb of the morning, can also represent a NEW DAY / a NEW BEGINNING;


the day has a NEW BIRTH

wherein His MERCIES are NEW EVERY MORNING.


It’s the Racham of Adonai.

EL Rachum.

Is God's mercy and grace

God has His natural way to protect babies inside the womb


Rakhum is not just an emotion.

It also involves action.

It is through God’s compassion that He would answer Israelites cry for rescue, even though they often failed to be faithful and obedient.

God’s rakhum cares for His people and His provides for their needs.


The emotion God wants us to release is joy and happiness

This is emotion of God


Jesus even compared Himself as a mother hen who would shield her chicks with her wings from any potential harm.


JESUS' RAKHUM compelled Him to enter earth and trade our sins for His righteousness, saving us from eternal death.


Receive His compassion and His grace


JOHN 1:12-13 NIV

Yet to all who did RECEIVE him, to those who BELIEVED in his name,

he gave the RIGHT to become CHILDREN of GOD —


CHILDREN born NOT OF -

natural descent,

nor of human decision

or a husband’s will,

but BORN of GOD.


God created us and He wants us to be born again


Know how much He loves you, how much He paid the price


Trust God based on the Word

Trust God to do His part

We are not convincing someone to become a Christian


JOHN 7:37-39 KJV

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,

If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and DRINK.


He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,

out of his BELLY shall flow RIVERS of living water.

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive..)

JEREMIAH 1:4-5 NLT

You are always enduring loved by God

The child of God realised in the spiritual how much God loves her


You are always endearing loved by God


Now you are no more babies, you are adult

No more the little baby. If you are still a baby, drink milk and grow, knowing God will always take care of you


The Word define what love is

God's Word has the final say


COLOSSIANS 3:12-14 TPT

Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others.


Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the SAME WAY YOU HAVE BEEN GRACIOUSLY FORGIVEN by JESUS CHRIST.


In the spirit, you have been given the love of God


Begin to ask the holy spirit to show you. Sometimes when He shows us, it looks ugly when our old nature comes forth.


Let the Holy Spirit and the Word of God shows us


COLOSSIANS 3:12-14 TPT

If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness

to them.


For LOVE is SUPREME and must FLOW through each of these virtues.


LOVE becomes the MARK of TRUE MATURITY.


GOD IS OUR JEHOVAH EL RACHUM


We are always growing and eating, we need to eat spiritual food

Comes up, no more ourselves


The old man died

Love will not pass away. God is love

He put that Love inside us in the womb


We come into the spiritual realm. What God defines as mercy and love


Most of us have a strong personalities of ourselves

When we are dead to our personalities, Christ live in us


It is a growing process


Transform and know His love like never before
