What are you busy building? Are you taking your chance to build upon the rock (God's word?) Or are you building your little Golden Calf and waiting for a pat on the back?
Interestingly, when the census took place, the children of Israel must bring a ransom for their souls. Without this atonement, it will result in a death causing plague. This passage also teaches us that all in the social classes rich, old, poor and the dumb are universally in the same situation - the need for God and therefore, it equalises everyone.
Census are okay unless it is YHWH's will. The other time a census happened in Scripture did not work very well:
"Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to take a census of Israel." 1 Chronicles 21:1
David went wrong because he did not give a ransom for the souls that he counted as in Exodus 30.
This money given to Moses and his men during the census in the wilderness was called kesef hakippurim or atonement money. It was to be gathered up together and melted down to create the 100 adanim (sockets) used to hold the pillars of the mishkan. Appearance, there was about 13680kg of sliver given from this census. The word for socket adanim is where we get the word Adonai.
This is the basis for the Temple Tax which was when the Jews were supposed to pay once a year to the temple during the time of Yeshua. We need to be giving and creating the pillars for the temple (our bodies) so it can stand.
This census in the Torah is fulfilled in this Scripture in the NT.F
"When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, “Doesn’t your teacher pay the didrachma?” He said, “Yes.” When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?” Peter said to him, “From strangers.”
Yeshua was declaring Himself to be the son of God. The father would provide the temple tax for Peter. He was atoned for, and ransom was paid. Thereby, Peter was numbered amongst God's people.
The coins that come out of the mouth of the fish are representatives of God's children. This echoes the story of Jonah and the whale. Yeshua said that His death and resurrection is like the experiences of the Prophet Jonah. That means it pictures His ransom and atonement for our sins so we can be grafted in to become the sons and daughters of God!
The giving of coins points to something far greater. There are those that go free and those that will have to pay to be counted - Yeshua fully preached the Word. He is now building His temple with living stones which are us, those willing to follow Him. We need to have our ransoms paid. We need to be a son or a daughter. If not, our literal heads will be cut off for the counting of heads (coins) needed for the ransom.
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." 1 John 3:1-3
The story of Joseph and the baker an the cup-bearer showcase this as well. The beaker is the one that was not ransomed and the cup-bearer is the one that was counted. If you have your head lifted up, that could mean two things: you have been counted by ransom or by the literal beheading of our head to be ransomed. If you want to be counted as one of the sons of God and go free, you must have a ransom paid by the lifting up your your head. You must come to Golgotha (skull/head). Our ransom has already been paid at Golgotha. Are you willing to accept it?
We are sliver in God's eyes.
The bronze laver is a representation of the wells of living waters - the Word of God.
We are to wash ourselves in the word everyday, because it says it is a statue forever for Israel.
After you have sacrificed yourselves to the brazen altar you then come next to the bronze laver where you inspect yourself with the word. We must be purified. Look into the Scriptures and see yourself so you can know where you are at on your walk.
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was." James 1:22-24
Aaron and his sons are washing their feet before entering the Holy Place. This is a picture of Messiah in the Gospels washing the disciple's feet in John 13.
"Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean." John 13:7-11
We need to be constantly cleansed in the waters of Hos word and not dirtying them in the world.
Long before the day of Pentecost, YHWH was already pouring out His spirit. We must be spirit driven. Bezaleel and Aholiab are a model of what it is like to be spirit driven and Aaron will show what it is like to be purpose driven.
Keeping the Sabbath is like our wedding ring that shows that we are married to YHWH. It is a perpetual covenant which means it will never be done away with. The Sabbath must be a day we are working towards and looking forward to every week. It is a time to refresh and recharge our batteries and rest.
Rest means naphash - to breathe, to be breathed upon and refreshed by a current of air.
The command to keep the Sabbath is repeated throughout the Torah. That means it is very important.
To keep the Sabbath means to defend it diligently, bodyguard, watch, persevere and protect like a lioness protecting her cubs.
Now imagine you are a passionate husband that is madly in love with your wife and you made an agreement to get married soon. You are floored out of your mind and very glad because the love of your life has just accepted your betrothal. But imagine soon you unfortunately find that your wife is sleeping with your greatness enemy from High School, and the heinous dreaded feelings of cuckoldry overwhelm you. Would you want to smash you wife's skull in? Naturally, the answer is yes. This shows YHWH's emotions and feelings and why He purged 1000s of people after the Golden Calf incident. This tells us how much He loves us.

Jesus said to him, “Therefore the children are exempt. But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you.” Matthew 17:21:27

| Golden Calf altar at MT Sinai. |
Do not worship God the way we worship Him! See this post i made on Christmas and Easter. It is not about what we feel, it is about what He feels.
Golden Calf replaced Moses. A replacement of Jesus - the vicar (Pope) or Antichrist.. Golden Calf is an Egyptian Apis bull that was symbol of Osiris who is Nimrod the Antichrist.
The breaking of the two original tablets of stone is a picture of the breaking of the Old Covenant.
Remember, from Mistptam to the beginning of Ki Tissa was what Moses wrote down when he was on the Mount for 40 days. Aaron had not actually know that he was required to be the high priest only Moses and the Tabernacle was not even built yet, only the instructions were written down. Later in Leviticus will the children of Israel actuality got to work and repent from the Golden Calf by building the Tabernacle. Moses was just coming down with the instructions to the Tabernacle and the Judgements.
They were intoxicated by doing their own thing they way they like it. Lukewarm, double mindedness, suborn, impatient and lack of faith leads to Golden Calf idolatry.
God said that He was willing to wipe out of of His people and start off again by using Moses to make the nation of Israel. God was testing Moses to see if He would just lead God kill His people when clearway God porpoised to Abraham that they were truly His people. Moses will have to be self-centred and selfish to say "yeah, start again with me. I'll be the father of Israel. That's sounds cool. Yeah get them God, they deserve it! Stupid idiots!" No. Moses passed and stayed humble. This is a hard thing to do and it requires a very high level of faith. If God tells us something it must be true but in this instance it was not just to test Moses to see if he was ready to give the commandments. There is something about this trail that made Moses grow and develop spiritually. This is the exact same experience Abraham went through when God wanted to destroy all (even Lot) in Sodom and Gomorrah. Both patriarchs made a plea for grace. Moses knew the character of YHWH and appealed to Him by quoting His word and His promises.
YHWH's repentance is not the one when He goes on His knees and says sorry. He had compassion and turned away from His anger.
Why did not Moses get in trouble for smashing the tablets on the altar of the calf? Maybe it is because Moses is taking it out in his wrath rather than in God's - which of course would have been much more devastating.
Deuteronomy 9:21 gives us an elaborated version of the drinking of the water with the dust of the gold in it as a punishment.
"And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount."
Moses knew chemistry. Gold is insoluble in water. In fine powder it assumes a colloidal
The burning or the refinement of the gold of its impurities (sin). Stamping it reduces it to thin sheets because of the ductility of gold. The grinding becomes easy and the information tells us that Moses grounded it very fine, into dust in fact, reducing it into nano sized colloidal gold. By casting this into a brook would make the water turn blood red. The drink was not toxic because the impurities have been burned out and it in fact kills germs. The fact they all had to drink it so they can be forgiven for the that they did. Just like we need to drink the wine (Yeshua's blood) so we can be forgiven for our sins.
"Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." Luke 22:20
To make matters worse, people mostly women were dancing naked.
The Levites are the purges of sin. They were required to kill some of the people. This shows how dire the consequences are when we worship YHWH with paganism.
The 3000 that feel that day matches the day of Pentecost after Jesus resurrected, 3000 new coverts replaces those 3000 dead. This is why some people think this day of the Golden Calf was Pentecost and not the day of the giving of the commandments. Is the Golden Calf event on Pentecost? "Tomorrow we will have a feast onto YHVH." See Chris Wrock's take on this. This is just like Easter. We knew it is a Holiday but we are doing it wrong.
WOAH! Moses was so troubled by the sin, he wanted God to forgive them and if not, to blot his name out of the book of life instead of His people. That is amazing. Just like Yeshua, Moses was willing to take the penitently that we deserved, because he loves the people so much. What a leader. Moses wanted to be thrown into the Lake of Fire for the sake of the people.
YHWH would have loved his attitude, but truly, God said that Moses did not need to. God's people then started to make t'shuva.
Moses' tent was on the outskirts of the camp so the people can look form a distance and see how to worship YHWH. If you want to communicate to the Most High, you must retreat from the masses like Yehsua did and isolate ourselves for a little while. Moses' tent was a yurt.
YHWH can now dwell amongst His people when the Tabernacle is complete.
No one can see YHWH's face. Moses only saw His back. The Hebrew word for face means punim (character.)
The rock Moses stood on is Yeshua as God literary came down. The hand YHWH puts over Moses to shield him is Yeshua - YHWH's right hand that saves. Moses is seeing the glory of God that is yet to come.
Stone means son in Hebrew. This is why Yeshua is called the Rock. The New Covenant is t now be written on new tablets of stone and that is our hearts.
YHWH wants to know us in a intimate relationship with us unlike the other pagan gods. We know God's character in Exodus 34:6.
"And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth."
We are to be careful when we are in the world to not be ensnared by their deceitful ways. We are commanded to destroy and Satanic idols and altars. See this amazing story of the power of God destroy the altars to the Canaanites.
God is jealous because He loves us.
In the season of Passover of the 3 feasts days. And guess what? The Sabbath is mentioned again for the 3rd time! It does not matter if you are in the busiest time of the year, then Sabbath comes first.
Moses face was shining like in our pre-fall state like Adam and Eve were. That means our skin is like a bio-luminescence suit. Like glow stickers, if you expose it much light (YHWH's light) and you then take it away from that light, it glows in the darkness. We are the lights of the world.Moses' shining face was the realisation for the people who doubted and questioned Moses' leadership.
Moses fasted for 40 days and nights while on MT Sinai as Yeshua did in the Wilderness. This points to the Transfiguration of Yehsua when His face shone.
The theme is this - there are two groups of people: those that go free and those that pay the consequences. Are you worthy to survive the Tribulation coming upon this earth? What are you building? Are you building your life founded on His Torah or are you building a Golden Calf based off your lukewarmly form beliefs, rebellion and arrogance? If you are mixing the holy and the profane, expect tragedy and the wrath of God upon your life. If YHWH is Elohim, follow Him.
The set apart special oil and incense is after the art of the apothecary. Moses was learning to be like a physician because an apothecary is a person who prepared and sold medicines or drugs.
Bezaeel means in God's shade (Torah is His shadow of things to come.) Aholiab means tent of the father.
Bezaeel is one of the first people in scripture to be filled with the Holy Spirit and he is an artist. That is encouraging for me because i like making stories and using creativity and drawing.
There is something significant about the Torah. It was dictated to Moses by God because the two were talking with each other as one speaks to a friend - one on one. The other scriptures are inspired by that same spirit.
I believe God made a manifestation to Moses by showing up as a pre-incarnate Yeshua. This why Moses wanted to see God's full glory and not a watered down manifestation. By just seeing God's backside must have still be overwhelming. Adam and Eve had no sin at the beginning and they glowed fully because they were in God's full presence. When Moses saw the backside of YHWH, only his face shined. Apparently in the book of Jahser, Enoch also was glowing too because he was in God's presence for so long.
NEW TESTAMENT AND PROPHETS
A line needs to be drawn in the sand. We cannot worship two masters. We need to pick a side. Baal or YHWH. I chose YHWH. Do not be lukewarm!
"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16
Elijah was living at a time when Israel was committing idolatry under Ahab and Jezebel. They were building gods (Golden Calf) to Baal, forsaking God's commandments and like a Moses like figure, Elijah appears and shows them who is boss - YHWH is the only true Elohim.
Elijah had fire from God and water on the altar which is a picture of the two baptisms we must get.
This here proves that Israel is the church and the church not separate figure. I cannot understand why dispensationalists cannot see this in their very own scriptures because Stephen literally says that the church was in the wilderness with Moses. This is best example to show how demonic entities are blinding Christians eyes from the truth, because you have to know how to read to get this.
By not doing God's law you are suppressing the Holy Ghost.
Just like when Stephen was being stoned to death, he cried out to God so that He can forgive their doings. Stephen stood in the gap and was willing to take a dire penitently just as Moses requested for to God when Israel sinned with the Golden Calf.
The things that happened in the Torah are examples for us so we can see the mistakes like the Golden Calf so we cannot repeat those sins. So that means to stop celebrating Easter, Christmas and Halloween.
Paul is suggesting that some of the Israelites when they were celebrating the Golden Calf feat, commuted sexual immorality, masturbated and probably raped each other. The releasing of semen produces about 23000 chromosomes apparently.
Paul speaks of the New covenant which is the law written on the tablets of our hearts and not on tablets of stone. The spirit should lead us to do the law not the letter of the law because you will fall into Judaisastion and legalism.
Paul is not saying that the Old Testament is done away with, he says that Christ removes the veil and shows it in its fulfilment and into full understanding.
The word covenant is in italics in Hebrews so that means it was inserted and should not have been there. The word that is missing in the original manuscript is priesthood - the old priesthood.
The Two Witnesses i believe are the two house of Israel - Ephraim and Judah. See this video explaining why.
When Nimrod the Antichrist comes, he will slaughter and kill us the Two Witnesses in Jerusalem near Golgotha - the place where we will lift up our heads as a consequence for not being counted.
Shalom
