TORAH
Apparently this is pasha is at the very middle of the Torah Cycle. Time has certainly flown since the first one!
The phrase "on the eighth day" is a very significant scripture. The 8th day is the day of circumcision, because blood stops or clots on the eighth day. Cutting the foreskin is the physical sign of the spiritual of the covenant. This means the eighth day is the day of covenant. 8 is also a number of new beginnings. The 8th day also connected to the first day which is Sunday. Surprise! This is the title of our Torah Portion!
The 8th day takes up 14 chapters spanning six parshot of the Torah. This is the beginning of a very important part of the Torah that goes on for six weeks. If Leviticus is the heart of His heart (Torah) and at the heart of Leviticus is this Torah Portion about the 8th day, it is the heart of the heart of the heart of God. This is the absolute centre of His instructions to how He wants us to be. And guess what bacon lovers? At the heart of the heart of the heart of YHWH is the food laws! So why on earth would He changing it when Yeshua dies? Your god is therefore schizophrenic! But mine is not.
The root word of Sh'mini is Shemen which is olive oil to anoint. That means Sunday is connected to the anointing in olive oil. Shem means name. The name is HaShem, this is a proper name for YHWH in the Bible.
On the 8th day there was a new beginning where the High Priest was anointed with oil by THE NAME (HaShem) that brings LIFE. Life comes from the third letter of the Hebrew for Shemen which is Nun - which is a symbol of a seed. Life. The High Priest that is anointed is Yeshua (whose last name means anointed one Mashiach.) All what happens in this Torah Portion is all about the high priest Yeshua in Heaven.
This event is happening exactly one year after the Exodus at around 1602 BC. Therefore this event is happening around Passover. Therefore, the first anniversary of the Exodus would be happening around this time in the Torah Portion.
Everything in the Tabernacle is ready and the Israelites are just about to defecate the Tabernacle and anoint the priest. Must have been a lot of anticipation because Moses said they will meet God. First, they had to get ready to prepare themselves by sacrificing to Him.
All the sacrifices picture Yeshua one way or another. The atonement is a covering so YHWH can come to dwell with His people. This a flattering portal of Yeshua. Soon, we will see Nadab and Abihu defied this covering and they were consumed.
The word for congregation in verse 5 is in Hebrew moed. This is the wrong translation. Moed is the word used for appointment which is His holidays. It should be Tent of Meeting, because that is the place where YHWH meet with His people.
Some say verse 7 is about Yom Kippur, but however that is not true because we saw in other Torah Portions the Tent was dedicated around Passover in 1602 BC.
After Aaron sacrificed for his own sins and then he sacrificed for all the people and then Moses came in with Aaron, and they both came out to bless the people and SURPRISE YHWH's glory came and He was down on earth with His people once again since 4000 BC in the Garden. This only happened after He was pleased at what His people did He had clearance to come. The people had real fear because they saw what He did. This also happened again on the same day when Solomon dedicated his temple.
The word for strange fire is inextricably connected to adultery. Nadab and Abihu committed spiritual adultery in YHWH's face. Moses says after Aaron's complaints says that they must be holy, or the profane will be cleansed by the holy fire of YHWH. To be holy is to do what He says and to not eat and touch anything unclean. The reason why they died is because they took the job lightly. They were representing Yeshua!
Nadab and Abihu did things their way. This is exactly what Cain did.
Glorified means that when we come before YHWH set apart and holy (through Yeshua), then the rest of Israel gets to see God glorified. Nadab and Abihu represents all of Christendom in this world that have lost the power of God. What they see is emotionalism. They go after the feelings.
The glory of God is seeing the fire come down and consume. This glory means the acceptance of our sacrifice. His glory shines through us and on us. We have to do something so He can come down. We must offer everyday which is obedience doing His commandments. We should not be after the fire of God's glory. We are after obedience which is the cause of YHWH's glory to come. That is what priest should do, and to do not as Nadab and Abihu did. We are a kingdom of priests.
Aaron held his peace because he knew what YHWH said was truth. Though i do believe he must have been bawling his eyes out on the inside because he is a human.
I find it interesting that Nadab and Abihu's clothes were not burnt by the fire. It is because they were make in accordance to YHWH's ways which made them fireproof.
"each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire." 1 Corinthians 3:13-15
Aaron and his two other sons were not allowed to rent their clothes from the death of the sons and brothers because they will be defied too. They were to stay in the Tabernacle and not mourn and bury his sons. This must have been a very hard. YHWH told Aaron to continue the service and mourn later after it is over. That sounds unfair. However, imagine you are president of America and you are in the middle of military crisis and your sons die, sorry, the military crisis needs to come first. Why? Because you were hired to protect 300 million people. Aaron was hired to anoint for two and half million people. Remember this famous line by Yeshua?
"Let the dead bury the dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God." Luke 9:60
The people looked up at him and the anointing oil of Abba was poured all over Aaron. The oil of gladness. Eight. Everything in life should take second place in following the commandments of God.
When you pour the oil (the Word of God) on a sheep (us) it keeps the flies (demons) away from us. When you are submerged fully in the oil of gladness, the enemy cannot get in our ears to manipulate us and plant poisonous thoughts and seeds. You only hear what the father wants you to hear. See this video on how the enemy can use us even when we are saved.
Verse 9 reveals to us why Nadab and Abihu died. They got drunk. This is why YHWH just randomly commanded them to not drink wine and alcohol before going before Him because this is what just happened to Aaron's sons and they died. This also makes sense how we saw how strange fire means fortification and adultery. They were drinking too much wine.
The dead centre of the entire Torah, the foundation of everything we hold dear, and the Torah Portion, is this very interesting phrase.
"And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying," Leviticus 10:16
The words highlighted is "study, study. Search, search," in the Hebrew (darosh, darash). This is the most significant phrase because we are to study to show ourselves approved and to have a firm foundation so we are not spewed away in the storm of the Tribulation. Let's compare it to the midpoint verse of the enter 66 booked canon. There are 11088 verses before and after this one.
"It is better to trust in the YWHW than to put confidence in man." Psalms 118:8
The entire reason why man exits is to do fear YHWH and keep His commandments which is by trusting in Him. Three witnesses tell us in the scriptures tell us the point of man. Fear YHWH, keep His commandments, trust in YHWH do not put confidence in man and study, seek a search. He who search Yeshua will find Him.
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15
If we are looking for a partner, we should study them first to see if we like them. Find out who they really are so you can make a covenant.
Drinking wine disordinates you. It also relaxes you. You are not sharp on your feet. So what in our lives are preventing us from literally seeing the glory of the father and to being able to truly engage with him on His lap in the Holy of holies. What is clouding our sense from doing this? Yeshua must go first with us or we will die. We need to stop doing things that are are unclean. This is good because now YHWH in the next chapter will be explaining how to not be unclean: by avoiding pork and shellfish. This is the key to have YHWH to have His glory in our lives!
This is a strange passage in chapter 10:17-20 because it seems Aaron was suffering loss and he said that he should not be eating the sin offering because of what had happened to him. Moses agreed.
If the whole old testament is done away with, then why did Paul tell us we are priests? Did priest eat ham? The next chapter is a big fat dirty NO. The food laws are the requirements to be a priest as Paul said. If you eat something unclean, he cannot be with you because He will be breaking the Torah. The only thing that keeps that link the the shed blood of the Messiah. He will kill you if if you were eating a ham sandwich if you were not under grace! (See the effects pork does to you in the article below. Science says it kills you.) Therefore, DO NOT ABUSE GRACE because you will be the lowest in the Kingdom of Heaven! That is all He can do to such a rebellious Christian! Take that as mercy! He cares!
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19
I do not know about you but i would listen to what Jesus is saying. Our goal should not be to get into Heaven, it should be to be His bride. We need to live by His standard and it is not that hard!
"For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant. It is not in heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?” Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?” But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil. For I command you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it. But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce to you today, that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants; to love Yahweh your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." Deuteronomy 30:11-20
The first instruction God gave to man in the Garden was regrading what they could eat or what they could not eat. We were to eat the fruit of every thing expect from the Tree of Knowledge and Good and Evil. The creation is effected by the sin and corruption that entered into the world by Adam. Therefore, nature is not perfect. This is what leads evolutionists to authenticate their false theories. Thongs like bacteria and parasites that need to inflict pain on another animal to survive is a result of the bacteria created to survive on a fallen animal. Their food source had changed since the fall. They were created with a food source
(vegetation) that was different and prefect originally. Now they have adapted in a gut of an animal so they can survive. Another good example is the snake. In my B'resheet portion i showed you on the fossil record that there were such thing as snakes with legs. This is also the case here, because snakes also did not have poison as well at Creation. It was not until HaSatan that used a snake to get sin into the world that now the snake is poisonous to defend itself and now slithers on its body. This is the same with spiders. They say that the ones with the bog fangs that kill survived because the ones that did not were not fit to live and they died off. That is not true because they were not designed to be killers in the first place. It is the proof of the fall, not evolution or adaptation (survival of the fittest.) The animal is trying to survive in a fallen world where its source of nutrition is taken away from them. It has two: die (obviously that was not the choice they made) or it can change its diet to survive. Nature is now in a desperate battle for survival because the world has chosen to be more corrupt and seek things other than YHWH.
" that the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of decay into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. Not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for adoption, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:21-23
I use this example to explain the fall of Creation and not proof of evolution and adaption because YHWH uses this in His word.
"Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel.” Genesis 3: 14-15
I reckon the extra-biblical book of Adam and Eve explains why some animals can harm humans now because of the breaking of the commandments. This retaliates how important it is to not sin, because the whole world will be also paying the penalty of it. We made snakes poisonous and spiders ugly and dangerous. Not God.
"Then Adam said unto God, "O Lord, Thou didst create us, and make us fit to be in the garden; and before I transgressed, Thou madest all beasts come to me, that I should name them.
4 "Thy grace was then on me; and I named every one according to Thy mind; and Thou madest them all subject unto me.
5 "But now, O Lord God, that I have transgressed Thy commandment,
p. 9
all beasts will rise against me and will devour me, and Eve Thy handmaid; and will cut off our life from the face of the earth.
6 "I therefore beseech Thee, O God, that, since Thou hast made us come out of the garden, and hast made us be in a strange land, Thou wilt not let the beasts hurt us."
7 When the Lord heard these words from Adam, He had pity on him, and felt that he had truly said that the beasts of the field would rise and devour him and Eve, because He, the Lord, was angry with them two on account of their transgression.
8 Then God commanded the beasts, and the birds, and all that moves upon the earth, to come to Adam and to be familiar with him, and not to trouble him and Eve; nor yet any of the good and righteous among their posterity.
9 Then the beasts did obeisance to Adam, according to the commandment of God; except the serpent, against which God was wroth. It did not come to Adam, with the beasts." Adam and Eve 7: 3-9
If you eat prawns you might as well eat a cockroach instead because they are every similar. Also, all the plastic that is left in the oceans drop to the bottom of the sea because they are heavier particles and most of these unclean marine animals have been discovered to contain these plastic chemicals inside them that can obliviously be detrimental to your health. Creatures like oyster are the vacuum cleaners of the earth. They take in all the toxic and junk. See what the scientists at Ghent University in Belgium have recently discovered.
Here we present the first study to report on the possible consequences of marine microplastics for human consumers by analysing the occurence of microplastics in commercially available shellfish. From our results, we calculated that the average European shellfish consumer has an uptake of 6400 microplastics per year.
The more unclean food an animals injects, the ugly it appears to be. Generally. Turkeys are ugly yet they are clean.
Did YHWH warn us against eating dinosaurs?
The vessels described in here are clay vessels because most people had clay vessels. This is because clay is very porous and if a fly falls into it and dies, you cannot eat it, not just the food, you must get rid of the bowl because the bacteria goes into the pores on the bowl you cannot get it out.
Mammals may be eaten only if they have spilt hooves and chew their cud. This chewing of the cud refers to an animal that returns its food from the stomach to the mouth to chew it a second time, and it is called a ruminant.
Fish must have both fins and scales. Examples include tune, salmon, carp, whitefish, mackerel, swordfish and a trout (unclean water-based life includes catfish, octopus, calamari, eels, sharks, prawns, lobsters, sharks and crabs.)
Okay, so who do you think is right? Our secular society, or the Creator that designed our bodies and the digestive system?
The phrase "on the eighth day" is a very significant scripture. The 8th day is the day of circumcision, because blood stops or clots on the eighth day. Cutting the foreskin is the physical sign of the spiritual of the covenant. This means the eighth day is the day of covenant. 8 is also a number of new beginnings. The 8th day also connected to the first day which is Sunday. Surprise! This is the title of our Torah Portion!

Isaiah 11 explains what everything was like before Creation and what it will be like in the Millennial and Eternity.
"The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf, the young lion, and the fattened calf together; and a little child will lead them. The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play near a cobra’s hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea." Isaiah 11: 6-9
YHWH created all animals with a purpose. Some are for food others are obviously not. The diet of YHWH had created for His bride is not some "law of Moses; Moses did not make this up. This is revelation directly from the throne room in Heaven. And it proves itself as so. If we are His agents, we seek to respect what He has designed each creature for.

Why You Should Avoid Pork
If you’re at all familiar with the Bible you’ll probably remember that in it God specifically instructed His people not to eat pork and shellfish. Many people are surprised to find this out, but in the Old Testament God warned us that the pig was an unclean animal–a scavenger and not to be eaten (Check out Leviticus 11).
No matter how you think about it, pigs are a rather dirty animal. They are considered the scavengers of the farm (created to eliminate any waste on the farm), often eating anything they can find. This includes not only bugs, insects, and whatever leftover scraps they find laying around, but also their own feces, as well as the dead carcasses of sick animals, including their own young.
This in itself can explain why the meat of the pig can be so dirty or at the very least not so appetizing to consume. And while being ‘grossed out’ may or may not be a valid reason not to eat something it’s vital to understand a bit more about pork before reaching your own conclusion.
Pork 101: Know the Facts
Pork is one of the most consumed meats in the world. China is the largest producer of pigs that were first domesticated way back around 7500 B.C.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that more than 100 viruses come to the United States each year from China through pigs. There are some obvious concerns about this. Aside from not needing more viruses to fight off, some of these viruses can prove to be downright dangerous to humans.
Of course, you’re probably familiar with H1N1, better known as ‘the swine flu.” This too is a virus that has made the leap from pig to human.
But H1N1 is not the only disease to fear from the pig. There are other sicknesses you can get from eating the meat of the pig.
Pork meat is loaded with toxins, more so than most other meats like beef and chicken.
Is Pork Meat Toxic?
There are reasons that the meat of the pig becomes more saturated with toxins than many of its counterpart farm animals. The first reason has to do with the digestive system of a pig.
A pig digests whatever it eats rather quickly, in up to about four hours. On the other hand a cow takes a good twenty-four hours to digest what it’s eaten. During the digestive process, animals (including humans) get rid of excess toxins as well as other components of the food eaten that could be dangerous to health.
Since the pig’s digestive system operates rather basically, many of these toxins remain in their system to be stored in their more than adequate fatty tissues ready for our consumption.
Another issue with the pig is that it doesn’t have any sweat glands. Sweat glands are a tool the body uses to be rid of toxins. This leaves more toxins in the pig’s body.
I don’t have to tell you that when you consume pork meat, you too are getting all these toxins that weren’t eliminated from the pig. None of us need more toxins in our systems. In fact we should all be doing what we can to eliminate and cut down on toxin exposure. One vital way to do this is by choosing what you eat carefully.
Trichinellosis, Pork Meat, and Your Health
Did you know that pigs carry a variety of parasites in their bodies and meat? Some of these parasites are difficult to kill even when cooking. This is the reason there are so many warnings out there about eating undercooked pork.
One of the biggest concerns with eating pork meat is trichinellosis or trichinosis. This is an infection that humans get from eating undercooked or uncooked pork that contains the larvae of the trichinella worm.
This worm parasite is very commonly found in pork. When the worm, most often living in cysts in the stomach, opens through stomach acids, its larvae are released into the body of the pig. These new worms make their homes in the muscles of the pig. Next stop? The unknowing human body who consumes this infected meat flesh.
And while no one particularly wants to consume worms, trichinellosis is a serious illness that you should do virtually anything to avoid.
Common Symptoms of Trichinellosis:
These symptoms of trichinellosis can really put you out of the game for quite a while. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) these symptoms can last for weeks and in more serious cases months on end.
The CDC recommends thorough cooking of pork as well as freezing the pork meat prior to cooking to kill off any worms. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel good about eating anything that I first have to kill off its worms to eat.
In fact, it’s been theorized that trichinellosis is the exact cause of Mozart’s rather sudden death at age 35. An American researcher theorized this after studying all the documents recording the days before, during, and after Mozart’s death. He found that Mozart suffered many of the above listed symptoms and he, himself, had recorded in his journal the consumption of pork just forty-four days before his own death.
(If you want to read more on this intriguing story you can find it in the Archives of Internal Medicine’s June 2001 issue.)
But that’s not all….
Pigs carry many viruses and parasites with them. Whether by coming in direct contact with them through farms or by eating their meat we put ourselves at higher risk of getting one of these painful, often debilitating diseases (not to mention put our bodies on toxic overload.)
Pigs are primary carriers of:
Each of these parasites and viruses can lead to serious health problems that can last for years to come.
What you choose to eat is up to you. Myself, I choose to stay away from unclean pork (and shellfish.) The reasons discussed here are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to eating pigs and your health.
Do your own research, carefully consider what the Bible so many years ago warned us about, then make your own educated decision about what you choose to feed yourself and your loved ones.

If you eat prawns you might as well eat a cockroach instead because they are every similar. Also, all the plastic that is left in the oceans drop to the bottom of the sea because they are heavier particles and most of these unclean marine animals have been discovered to contain these plastic chemicals inside them that can obliviously be detrimental to your health. Creatures like oyster are the vacuum cleaners of the earth. They take in all the toxic and junk. See what the scientists at Ghent University in Belgium have recently discovered.Here we present the first study to report on the possible consequences of marine microplastics for human consumers by analysing the occurence of microplastics in commercially available shellfish. From our results, we calculated that the average European shellfish consumer has an uptake of 6400 microplastics per year.
The more unclean food an animals injects, the ugly it appears to be. Generally. Turkeys are ugly yet they are clean.
Did YHWH warn us against eating dinosaurs?
Leviticus 11
20 All flows that creep upon all fours, shall be an abomination to you.
29 These are unclean for you among the creatures that swarm upon the earth: the weasel, the mouse, the great lizard according to its kind, 30 the gecko, the land crocodile, the lizard, the sand lizard, and the chameleon.
Mammals may be eaten only if they have spilt hooves and chew their cud. This chewing of the cud refers to an animal that returns its food from the stomach to the mouth to chew it a second time, and it is called a ruminant.
Fish must have both fins and scales. Examples include tune, salmon, carp, whitefish, mackerel, swordfish and a trout (unclean water-based life includes catfish, octopus, calamari, eels, sharks, prawns, lobsters, sharks and crabs.)
PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT
Uzzah was killed like Nadab and Abihu because he broke the Torah (sin is death) knowing it was sin and since the ark is so powerful, he was obliterated like that guy in Raiders in the Lost Ark for touching it. When the Philistines brought the ark into Dagon's temple, they were ignorant to the responsibility and the laws behind this abominable act. This is why they were not struck down because they were ignorant of the Torah. The punishment is even worse if we know the Torah and break it anyway like Uzzah.
"That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked." Luke 12:47-48
YHWH in a Last Days context will find the sinners eating swine's flesh. So did Yeshua really make them clean? Absolutely not. It is ironic someone that eats pork says the are more holy than us, even when God defines being holy is to not eat pork.
Isaish 66 fits in with what is happening with pigs these days. Apparently, i remember reading somewhere that they are mixing mouse DNA with pigs and when people eat pork now, they are also eating mice. As in the days of Noah, they were mixing animal DNA.
Jesus is not talking about food, he is speaking about what we say.
When Jesus was transfigured, He was white without blemish. As our High Priest, He is holy and we are to be holy.

Ananias and his wife were struck dead also in a very similar way to Uzzah and Nadab and Abihu. They were found lying about them supposing giving all the money so the disciples can buy their land but the greedily kept some for themselves. They knew the Torah and willingly bore false witness, making there sin very severer.
Each new level of kingdom responsibility comes new accountability.
Acts 10 is used to justify eating unclean food. This is wrong, because one, Peter says he was shocked when he got the vision because he has never eaten anything unclean and two and soon realises that the dream was bout people and not unclean animals. It is about YHWH allowing Jews to preach to the Gentiles how were legalistically called unclean. Yeshua cleaned the Gentiles so they can come into covenant with Him through Messiah. YHWH was using unclean food as an allegory for the gentiles.
Paul is saying here in Acts 15 to new believers to do 4 main things so they can be accepted by the Jews and to go to the synagogues on the Sabbath days to learn the Torah as they read the Torah Portions as we are doing now.
If we are the temple of the living God, then we should not defile it with unlearn meats. When Antiochus Apiphanes brought a pig and sacrificed it in the temple, it was considered to be the abomination of destitution. Well if we are now the temple, should it be wiser if we do not eat pigs? It is just as bad as the abomination of desolation as Daniel the prophet spoke about happening in the End Days. Why should we bring a pig into our temple if it was abominable and it is okay?
If we are priests of the order of Melchizedek we are to do what priests are commanded by God to do.

Peter is quoting from Leviticus 11:
"for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16
Therefore to be holy, is to not eat things that YHWH calls are not food.
