TORAH

This is another one of those parts in the bible that is not an appealing read. This is because they are very detailed and precise instructions to the creation of God's heavenly house. Like pastor Jim Staley would always say, "what happens in the physical, is parallelled in the spirit realm." It needs to be perfect because it is literally the physical representation of God's house in Heaven in the spirit realm. This is certainly the case here. The designs for the tabernacle is literally how Heaven i designed. 

The tabernacle makes up A LOT of the Torah. About 50 chapters in fact. If this is true than it must be very significant especially of if the Torah is about the Messiah Himself.

The Tabernacle points to Jesus one way or another. 

The Tabernacle is also called the Tent of Meeting. We must be united as one body in Messiah! The Tabernacle represents His body! We are being unified in order to become a Tabernacle of believers with Yeshua as our head. It is always about unity.

We are called lively stones that make up God's temple. We are all individual details making up God's house and we are all significant. 

The significance of the blue, and purple and scarlet, and fine linen curent is mysterious.  Why these colours? See Jim Staley Yom Kippur 2011 service for the source of the info. The particular order used represents the stages of our walks. Blue is the most powerful and most relaxing colour of all. The covering for the Ark of the Covenant is blue for some reason. Well, if the the Ark represent us, then the blue covering is the blue firmament of dome that covers the whole earth. A blue sky should remind us of our inheritance in Heavenly royalty with Yeshua and it is said to calm us. as time began the earth was complete blue. Purple is the colour of man, leadership and human royalty and influence. It is made of two colours that are mentioned in the current design - blue and red (scarlet). If you mix the divine colour of YHWH the coldness colour with the hottest colour . Two extremes become the perfect symbiosis between the two - this is why purple is called the colour of judgement and perfect balance and creativity. It was a time when man trusted in a mediator like Moses and the kings who took on the colour purple which is the mix of YHWH's nobility and man's Red or scarlet is the next stage in time and it simulates emotion. It means blood, fire, wrath and is normally negative. Some kings were bad and some were good. In Hebrew it starts with the word Shaddai which makes up El Shaddai meaning Yah the Destroyer. Fire can destroy but it can also be rejuvenating so new life can come. It means sacrifice, love and power and the End Days when tribulation and terror comes.And Linen or white is all colours, it is YHWH's personalities who is all personalities. White is a rainbow. White is the primordial and first colour. It means purity, innocence. The sun produces white light. Without this white light from God and His substitute the sun, we will see no colour. It is the colour of the Millennial kingdom of Yeshua and His people Israel who are given white robes of flesh and bone. It also represents the spirit.




We must be willing to sacrifice ourselves to Him. 

Everything that we have got YHWH has blessed us with. He knows He can build something far greater that we cannot comprehend, if we are willing to serve Him. 

The T'rumah is the lifting up offering. Yeshua calls Himself this as to be lifted up from earth.

We are to offer a T'rumah offering to Him everyday.
"Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service." Romans 12:1

This model of the tabernacle is meant to be a representation of the universe and a flat earth model. From a geocentric biblical earth model, this is what you come up with - a scaled down version of YHWH's footstool. See Rob Skiba's video regarding this what i believe is the more accurate tabernacle design.

There are similarities between the Creation account and the building of the Tabernacle.


















Just as YHWH created a world for us to dwell in, Moshe oversaw the building of a place in which the Divine Presence could dwell. 

The Tabernacle represents our spiritual life in Christ. We have the choice to stay forever in the outer darkness (the outer courts) or chose to be in the Holy Place (greater in the Kingdom of Heaven.)

The outer court also represents our bodies (flesh). This is where the majority of people are at in their walk. They are saved, but at just wondering around and having a curious look at the brazen altar and the lever wondering what it all means. The Holy Place represents our 

minds -only Christians that take His whole word seriously but may not have everything right. The Holy of Holies is the heart - which is the raiment where few will be willing to be so connected and loving to YHWH as if He is their bridegroom.

These 3 levels of Holiness represents the mountain of Zion or Sinai. 

  • Lower part of the mountain: those who had been redeemed from Egypt. Other court are those who had dealt with their sins on the brazen altar of sacrifice.
  • Mountain slope: YHWH called Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 elders to experience God's presence and to have a fellowship meal with Him. The Holy Place is where the Levite priesthood who tend to the show-bread and the menorah.
  • Mountain top: Moses (Torah) and Joshua (Yeshua) ascend together for the giving of the 10 Commandments. The Holy of Holies is when the high priest would go inside once a year on Yom Kippur.   
The Hebrew root word for Tabernacle is sh'kan. Clearly this is what Yeshua was talking about when He says to abide  in me.

First letter is shin (pictograph of flames and tongues of fire.) Holy Spirit
Second letter is kaf (pictograph of a bird/dove, with wings cupped in descent.) Holy Spirit
Third letter is nun sofit (pictograph of the ultimate son or heir.) Yeshua

This is in Hebrew of the shekinah glory of God.

Mish'kan (glory)is made of Mem (prefix of the verb sh'kan. Pictograph of waves of flowing water. A continual flowing state.) This place is the special realm where the sh'kaning Presence of YHWH constantly rests upon and points to Messiah.

The famous Ark of the Covenant is a picture of Yeshua. Notes this is where YHWH begins to tell the Hebrews what to build first.  Why? Because it was in here where the Torah will abide in, which is the foundation of the Word.

The mercy seat is the picture of Heavenly things. Interestingly, the cherubim where a type of angle that are present in the throne room. Lucifer was high ranking among them before his rebellion to death. 

Mercy is the Ark (Yeshua) and the truth is the Torah  (Yeshua).

The Ark is set in the Holy of Hoiles which represents pour hearts. The Torah must be on our hearts. This is a physical design that conveys this crucial message.

The word for Ark means ribs. Like a rib cage, it protects what should be our heart - the Torah written on our hearts. The Ark is a foreshadowing for the New Covenant.

The Hebrew word used to describe the wood He wants Moshe to use in making the aron (ark) is shittim wood. This word is derived from the Hebrew verb root shatat meaning scourge or price. Everything about the Tabernacle Illustrates everything to do with Jesus Christ.

The shittim wood described in Isaiah 53:2 paints Yeshua Messiah.
"For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him."

The tree in the Greek is translated as incorruptible. This speaks of Jesus' perfect humanity.

Why a crown of gold? This is a picture of the Heavenly kingship of Yeshua.

There is a process that the Egyptians had was a process where they injected the gold into the wood so the wood and gold become one. The wood speaks of Messiah's humanity and the gold speaks of His divinity. It is very difficult for us to comprehend how these two polar opposites come together. Yeshua was not half god half man,He was all God and all man.

Jesus knew what it was like to live as a man. He knew how hard it was for us and knows how much we go through everyday. Yet He was without sin. No one can ever be like Jesus to live a life without sin. 

The Mercy Seat literally means to atone to cover and to ransom from the kingdom of darkness of death into the kingdom of light and life. Yeshua is merciful. The Ark of the Covenant all points to His works.

The Mercy seat is where the blood is to be sprinkled by the high priest. This atones for Israel's sins as Yeshua poured out His blood so we can be redeemed and have mercy through Him. This is grace that connects to the ark which is works and obedience. The two go together perfectly! Without grace you have tyranny and without obedience you have anarchy.

The grace or mercy seat houses the Torah which is in the centre of our ribs or our heart. The construction of the Ark paints a perfect image of how we must live in Christ. We are the Ark of the Covenant.

It is not just a Tabernacle of sacrifices, it is a place for all those in God.

The things in the Ark is the tablets of stone, the manner (bread of life) and the almond rod of Aaron that budded. This is a picture of Messiah inside us. The blossoming means bearing good fruit, amounts mean being watchful and discerning and rob means tribe and power.

We must build upon the Torah and live it out. This is inexorably connected to the budding of the almond tree. We need to bear fruit by building on the Word.

The two cherubim come from the two cherubim guarding the gates of the Garden of Eden. The way back to the Garden is the Word of God and the cherubim guard that. The tree of Life is the Torah.

YHWH has longed to dwell with us so bad, be built us a place to live and a tabernacle so He can dwell with us as it was originally in the Garden.

Since we are the Ark of the Covenant, the rings at the 4 corners of if is like how we have to wear the Zizits at the 4 corners of our garments.

The Table of Show bread is to be situated in the Holy Place with the Menorah and the altar of insurance. The Holy Place is our minds. 

The table is a place of family reunion. It is a place where the kids would gain sustaining words from their father (bread.) When we break bread with each other, we are fellow shipping together. This is why we cannot share tables with the evil people. It is an intimate thing to be at the table. There are also such things as evil tables if they are not set up properly. Scripture speaks of the prophets of Baal eating at Jezebel's table. We are to not pollute the bread, which is to twist the word of God to say something it does not.

The Hebrew root word to table is shalach. In Greek it means apostello which is apostle. The apostles are sent by God to carry the bread of life to the gentiles and the lost.
The showbread table has the same 4 rings on the corners as the Ark. This table represents the source and the power for ministry for spreading the Gospel, and made of the same material as the Ark (the source of all power the Word of God.)

Note YHWH has everything we need. We are not to bring anything extra because it will be worthless. 

Before we enter the Holy of Holies, YHWH works in our mind which is the Holy Place, which interestingly is where all the action is taking place. This is where all the spiritual warfare, demons and other vain things seep in. It is a war of the minds that is fierce which we battle in everyday. It takes time on our walks for our minds to be transformed completely. We must take every thought captive in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach.

It must be a continual offering to YHWH. It teaches man to be dependent on God for spiritual food. The presence of God is found in the bread of life which is the Word.

On the table there are 12 loaves which represent the 12 tribes of Israel.

The frankincense represents the white pure snow like linen that we will get in Heaven. The words of God is pure words. The frankincense is a memorial to speak and act on behalf of someone or something. We are to speak and act His word to be witnesses and a light to the nations and set apart.

We need to be a pleasing aroma to the God Almighty so we must give ourselves as a living sacrifice.

Apparently, the 12 loaves on this table was eaten on the optional weekly Shabbat ceremony. They were replaced very week. 

Jesus was born in the house of the bread (Bethlehem.)

Why are they piled up in 6? Before Israel comes into the Promised Land, Israel meet at Shechem were they so at two mountains Mt Ebal and MT Gerizim. 6 tribes sat at one mountain. This is were the blessing and the curses were pronounced. This valley in Shechem is natural built like a natural amphitheatre and is it is said that this is ground zero - where the two trees were originally planted. The two piles represent life and death.

The candlestick or the Menorah is described with 6 branches. It is the almond tree of life. It gives light to the Holy Place. The Word is the Light of the world.

Out of all furniture, the menorah is the only item made out of pure metal. Represents 100% divine origin. 

It is made of one foundation (The Rock Yeshua) with one centre light on that foundation and 6 (number of man) other branches stemming from it, making a total of 7 (perfection) lights.

The word of God that lights up the Holy Place (our minds) unto the lechem the show bread on the two stacks (the two Houses of Israel). The candlestick is the Word of God itself. It is Yeshua.

The bowls must be made of alounds. Why? Because the tree of life was an almond tree.

The Menorah contains oil which gives us instructions unto how to be a light bearer. We are to be the sons of the light.

This proves that the full Word of God is ONLY the 66 books because the Menorah says so. The instructions given in this portion tell us that it is made up on the left and right are 9 parts on each of the 3 branches stemming from the central candlestick, there are 12 parts that make it up. So if we add 12 and 27 (9X3) on one side and we get 39 pieces. The right side in total adds up to 27 pieces. There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament.

After studying the validity of extra biblical texts such as 1 Enoch, Adam and Eve, Maccabees, 2 Esdras, Ecclesiasticus and Brauch, i realised that there was originally more that 66 books that were also Holy Spirit inspired. What is fascinating, the 9 candle sticks of the Hanukiah - assuming it also had the same insertions of the original 7 candlestick Menorah - but instead, there 4 branches stemming from the middle candle. From this design, we might figure out how many books were originally considered Scripture. So 9X4 is 36 and 36 + 12 we get 48 pieces therefore originally there was 48 books in the Old Testament. The right side would add up to 36 pieces. So what if, the "lost" books added, we get a total of 84 books in the Bible which is true because many older Bibles before they were translated to the KJV had these many books in them.

It was the centre branch that was always light and it was the 6 other branches that needed to be relit every evening.

The 7 candlesticks represents the 7 spirits of God.

We are called branches in Romans 11 as we are grafted into the Olive Tree of the commonwealth of Israel. 

The branches are all one with the central shaft and that is the Messiah.

We are the branches. We are to be the light of the world by doing what YHWH says.

Everything priests come to light the menorah, they burned incense on the Altar of Incense. This incense is the prayers of the saints. Everything here in the Tabernacle represents something much more grand in Heaven.

In Luke 4:15-20 we have this image presented to us in Yeshua's reading of Isaiah, which would have been the Half Torah reading for that week. As He stood up to read He would be standing on a raised platform called a bimah in Greek. There would have been three minsters on His left and three on His right. The bimah was slightly raised in the middle . The view from the congregation would appear precisely as the Menorah design. The minster on the bimah proclaiming the Torah was called a shamash, which is why the centre candlestick of Hanukkah is slightly raised. It is Yeshua! 

Now chapter 26 is all about the currents of the tent. A man named Andrew Hoy an engineer and a Hebrew scrotal say that the rectangular tabernacle is very wrong and very bad engineering. He found out the real design by doing all the correct calculations and found out that it is shaped as a 60 foot tall dome tent that would have been perfect according to the scripture and not adding or taking away from it. I will also intimidate the nations as it is written.


Hoy says the sheets fencing the courtyard given are not attached to their longer edges which creates a rectangle. He says it joins on the shorter edges which makes a circle.

The yurt-like tent would create a central courtyard that  represents the flat earth cosmology described in Creation. It is said to also stand for eternity.  

There were 10 curtains in total made of white fine linen. 5 of the 10 needed to be connected together and the other 5 the same. They were then put together to chavar which means fellowship. We are a body are making up God's temple. 

Why 5? 5 is the number of God's Grace and the faith we have in that. We are saved by grace through faith, not going to church or by the Torah. The letter of number 5 is hey which means revelation. There are 5 book sin the Torah- the foundation of the Word.

The Hebrew word for 5 is chamash meaning prepare or be ready. Grace prepares you for Torah and Torah prepares you for life.
David when he went up against  Goliath took 5 stones. One for each of Goliath and his 4 Nephilim giant brothers.

The 2 curtains represent the two houses of Israel - Ephraim and Judah. The same language used to put the two curtains together is used in Ezekiel 37 when the two houses of Israel are finally joined together. This is the sma etwo in the feast of Pentecost when we are required to get two wave loaves of bread that are exactly the same. What brings the two together is the faith we have of grace of Messiah.

These two curtains attached together with 50 loops of blue and 50 loops of gold. The connection is the 50 day period between First Fruits and Pentecost. This is also connected to the 50 Jubilee. The loops of the curtain are also the same colour as the tzitzit tassels.

YHWH has promised He will rebuild the temple of David and we are the lively stones.

The word tenon means pin or nail or connected and fasten. This is what held a fasten Yeshua to the cross. 

The Hebrew word for socket comes from the root adon which makes Adonai.

The entire Tabernacle was to be raised up. Apparently this root word is the same phrase was used in the New Testament when describing the resurrection!

The four pillars represent the 4 corners of the geocentric flat earth. The four pillars connect curtains of the 4 colours that separate the holy place form the most holy place.

The brazen altar is a place in the courtyard (body) that ordinary men before coming before YHWH surrender and put to death all this that hinder a human being from experiencing the true love and intimacy with the bridegroom. It was a place of divine encounter and the first place we come into when we are saved.

YHWH designed the altar sacrificial system, to paint a picture of the eternal truth behind the "replica". The Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.

Bronze pictures judgement - the brazen altar is to be the ultimate place of judgement. Hebrew word means suffering and sacrifice.

In order for the priest to go into the Holy Place or even to the lever is to light up the bronze altar.

When you enter into the yurt-like tabernacle, you firstly come across the bronze altar. It is the required sacrifice that stood between yo  and YHWH. This is why we need to always offer ourselves up to Him As a living sacrifice everyday first to Him.

Why a whole burnt offering? The word whole comes from the Hebrew word kaliyl. The root of that word means to be perfected, finished,or complete. One of the cognates of this word is kallah which is bride. The idea that YHWH chose this word is that the offering represents completeness or a finished whole act. We need to offer our whole lives and our whole selves to Him if we says that we serve and love Him.

We are making our sins as ashes. We are handing over all of our life to Him so He might live through us. Only those giving themselves over wholyare ready to have a chance to be the bride.

The coals and ashes from your sacrifice on the brazen altar is used on the incense altar in the holy place. If we do not do this, we are giving strange fire to YHWH. This is why when we should pray, we MUST always give ourselves to Him fully as a living sacrifice.

Yeshua sacrificed Himself so we can get to the Father. The brazen altar of sacrifice is like Yeshua! At the open gate! 

The courts and gate represent the Torah scroll. It is shaped as a protective fence so we can be safe and free from danger.

The Greek word for court is alue. This means a handful of sheep or a palace in the New Testament.

So Petra the palace in stone is the where the the sheep (us) are going to remain safe during the Tribulation?

The gate is the ONLY entry to the Tabernacle on the east. East is always from God. Will you enter the narrow gate to the place of sacrifice? Lay it all down with thanksgiving, everything that you have got.
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20 

PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT

I would like to present to you Rob Skiba's take on the Solomon temple and connections with Nephilim for he describes in great detail about what it is very significant. Remember, the Tabernacle is the Temple. It is a dwelling place for the Most High so He can be among His people. The designs Solomon used are very similar to the blueprints given to Moses, that in fact, some like Hoy have speculated that the Temple was also in a shape of a dome like the yurt tent.

Immediately after King David died, his son Solomon became king of Israel. Right after that, the Scriptures tells us:
 Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and married one of his daughters. He brought her to live in the City of David until he could finish building his palace and the Temple of the Lord and the wall around the city.
- 1 Kings 3:1 (NLT)
It was after doing this that God appeared to Solomon and granted his request for wisdom. He should have used that wisdom more wisely. Although he loved the Lord in the beginning of his reign, he turned away from the true path as he grew older.
Now King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh’s daughter, he married women from Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, and from among the Hittites. The Lord had clearly instructed the people of Israel, ‘You must not marry them, because they will turn your hearts to their gods.’ Yet Solomon insisted on loving them anyway. He had 700 wives of royal birth and 300 concubines. And in fact, they did turn his heart away from the Lord.
In Solomon’s old age, they turned his heart to worship other gods instead of being completely faithful to the Lord his God, as his father, David, had been. Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites. In this way, Solomon did what was evil in the Lord’s sight; he refused to follow the Lord completely, as his father, David, had done.
On the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, he even built a pagan shrine for Chemosh, the detestable god of Moab, and another for Molech, the detestable god of the Ammonites. Solomon built such shrines for all his foreign wives to use for burning incense and sacrificing to their gods.
The Lord was very angry with Solomon, for his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. 
- 1 Kings 11:1-9 (NLT) [emphasis mine]
Backing up a bit, we can see how this happened. 1 Kings 7 is the chapter that tells us that Solomon hired Hiram of Tyre(an area known for Baal worship) to build the Temple of God. That always made me curious. Chapter 8 goes on to describe the completion of the Temple and Solomon's prayer of dedication. The next chapter reveals God's acceptance of all that Solomon had done - but it came with a warning:
The Lord said to him,  “I have heard your prayer and your petition. I have set this Temple apart to be holy—this place you have built where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart. As for you, if you will follow me with integrity and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations, then I will establish the throne of your dynasty over Israel forever. For I made this promise to your father, David: ‘One of your descendants will always sit on the throne of Israel.' But if you or your descendants abandon me and disobey the commands and decrees I have given you, and if you serve and worship other gods, then I will uproot Israel from this land that I have given them. I will reject this Temple that I have made holy to honor my name. I will make Israel an object of mockery and ridicule among the nations."
- 1 Kings 9:3-7 (NLT) [emphasis mine]
It is clear from the above passage that it was God who made the Temple of Solomon holy. That appears to be in spite of how it was built and by whom. That same chapter goes on to say that it took twenty years to build the Temple and Solomon's royal palace. It was built by forced labor. Who was forced to build these things?
There were still some people living in the land who were not Israelites, including Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These were descendants of the nations whom the people of Israel had not completely destroyed. So Solomon conscripted them for his labor force, and they serve in the labor force to this day. 
- Kings 9:20-21 (NLT) [emphasis mine]
Notice that it says these were the "descendants of the nations whom the people of Israel had not completely destroyed." Those were Nephilim nations! Remember what I wrote in the Building a Pure Nation blog? Those nations came from the giant descendents of Canaan! That essentially means Solomon had Nephilim and demons build the Temple and his palace through forced labor!
And here's yet another interesting piece of the puzzle! In 1 Kings 10, the Queen of Sheba pays him a visit. After that enormous wealth begins to pour into Solomon's kingdom. But notice how things start to go bad:
The weight of the gold that Solomon received yearly was 666 talents
- 1 Kings 10:14 (NIV) [emphasis mine]
Read the entire blog here: http://www.babylonrisingblog.com/CERN.html

Here Jesus says the earth is God's footstool. Well, after doing all the flat earth research, i soon realized that He was not using an aglerogry. This footstool is the shape of the Tabernacle.

We all know that Yeshua is the High Priest that is the only one that enters into the Holy of Holies. In next week's Torah Portion there is some great information about this and the breastplate.

This reveals that the Tabernacle is a shadow of the Gody one in Heaven.

It should not say covenant, it should say priesthood. The order of the Melchizedek is the new priesthood and the Old one is the Levite one.

The Torah is the shadow of the things to come. If you remove the shadow, the things to come never will exist.

Shalom
