Numbers Week 34 - Bamidbar (In The Wilderness) Notes

These are my first ever Torah Portion notes from 2018 and 2019, drawn from these sources. Every Saturday starting from Friday sunset, God's people get together and read portions from the Torah to learn and look deeper into His word, starting after the 8 days Feast of tabernacles until.Tabernacles the next year:

TORAH

The Israelites are now ready to set off into the wilderness after one year at Mt Sinai. They are most importantly, spiritually prepared, having already been immersed in God's marriage betrothal for life to be holy. They are now different people of those who came out of Egypt one year ago. Now they have to take all the things they have learnt from YHWH in His Torah and walk them out. It is the ultimate test for them and ultimately for us too. On the May of 1440 BC, an epic assembly of millions of people are set in battle array to reclaim the promised land form brooding tribes of wicked giants and monsters. Sounds awesome! The stuff in the book of Numbers are things you would only see in Lord of the Rings and Deltora Quest.

The first ten chapters of the book of Numbers will cover 20 days, during which there will be censuses performed and special organisation geared towards marching into the tough wilderness and land filled with a serious enemy: 30 foot Canaanites. 

The rest of Numbers (Bamidbar) will take the Israelites through the wilderness to the boarders of the promise land and a death of a generation.

Numbers in a whole covers the 38 and a half years of the wanderings of the exodus from Mount Sinai to Mt Nebo, where Joshua (Yeshua) will replace Moses as leader and lead Israel in the land.

Sinai has been an introduction to YHWH. He has taught the Israelites who He is and who He expects them to be. It is a two way covenant. To get the promises, we need to walk in faith according to the things YHWH has set out for us.

The wilderness has extremes in temperature. During the day, the desert is very hot, and at night, freezing cold. The reason why there are such extremes is because there is not much moisture in the air. When there is moisture in the air, it cools down the environment. This is a prefect picture of our lives, we will go through extremes in temperature. When YHWH turns up the heat in the refiner's fire, things get very hard, and when He draws back it is cold and we feel vulnerable and sterile. The water in the air (the Word of God) that balances the temperature. When it says in Amos there is going to be a famine of the Word of God in the Last Days, we will be in a spiritual wilderness. What maintains us is the water of the word in a fiery trail.

In the Hebrew, when it says "give a census" it means "lift up the heads." Head means "gulgoleth". Gulgoleth means skull. Yeshua was crucified on Golgotha/Gulgoleth the place of the skull. If you want to be counted as one of the sons that go free, who have their ransoms paid, then you must come to the place of the skull where Jesus was crucified. 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? The price that was paid at Gulgoleth was the price that was required for your head to be counted a son of the children of Israel. If you do not take it, it will require your actual physical head. The message is clear: take up your cross and follow Him to the place of the skull. See Torah Portion Ki Tissa for more information on the lifting up of heads concept.

After one mouth after the census of the Tabernacle, this census was taken.

Notice the ordering of the Tribe (church) s is done deliberately to
look like a cross (Hebrew tav for covenant or mark). If you know
YHWH, you would realise He never changes.
There are military leaders or princes for each of the 12 tribes. These leaders i believe correspond to when the 12 disciples are leaders of the 12 tribes in the Millennial.

This assembly regathering will be on a much larger scale in the future Greater Exodus.

Jewish Torah scholars say that each person stepped forward what would happen is that he would approach YHWH's presence that surrounded Moses, YHWH would reveal to him his true spiritual identity. Regardless whether this is true, it gives us an idea of the purpose of aligning people with their tribal and familial linage. It would firmly establish their Hebrew identity in their minds.  The command for Moses to organise the tribes in this fashion is seen in Exodus 30:12-13.
"When you take a census of the children of Israel, according to those who are numbered among them, then each man shall give a ransom for his soul to Yahweh, when you number them; that there be no plague among them when you number them. They shall give this, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs); half a shekel for an offering to Yahweh."
Did you catch that? There will be a plague in the congregation as a consequence of not paying the ransom for your soul. This is salvation of Yeshua who died as a ransom so we may be grafted back into Israel! The plagues come from Babylon/Beast system and the Roman Catholic church as spoken in Revelation 18:4.
"I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don’t receive of her plagues."

The people in Revelation 7:9 are not the 144000. They are the people that had their ransom paid (were saved) but were not protected in the Greater Exodus, or were killed off in the Tribulation. They are the Christians that partook in the Roman Catholic Babylonian system and not YHWH's system.

Some people will count themselves as YHWH's people and their ransom would have been paid and as a result will be protected in the wilderness in the coming Greater Exodus. Some people will not pay their ransom but will claim that they are YHWH's people, then the plagues must come upon them.
"And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh." Luke 21:28

A bride (Israel) needs one year after being married before going to war. This is why it takes one full year before Israel is ready to depart. That therefore makes the wondering in the wilderness 41 years and not 40 like most say.

YHWH wants us each to apply His Torah to our own unique situations, in such a way to prove the validity of His words in every possible circumstance. Our task is to follow His instructions and use the building blocks that He has provided us with to create an unique rendering of His eternal Truth.   

 Ardelle has some questions that i have asked as well.
The timing of Bemidbar 1:1 is the first new moon between the waving of the first fruits of barley and Shavuot (Pentecost). This obviously puts us right in the middle of the “counting of the omer”. As we all attempt to figure out the significance of the omer, is this one more clue as to the gathering of revelation through the Word/manna/omer during this important time period of counting? Is the teaching on the census and the set up of the tribes as they make their way through the wilderness also important to our trek to the Promised Land? I’m only asking. I wish I knew all the answers, but I think as we count, we may be collecting our omer of the Word for each day! 
What will we go up against in the Greater Exodus in the future? Better get our full dose of the Word!
Who is the church? This is very crucial information so i I would like you to see Rob Skiba's great insight from the introduction of his Virtual House Church Numbers work book for the truth. He nails it here:

Like many, I once believed the Church was founded on the day of Pentecost. While that is true, I discovered I had the timing wrong. It was not the Pentecost of Acts 2, but rather of Acts 7. 
ACTS 7: 38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: 
The book of Numbers is referred to in Hebrew as Bamidbar, which means, “in the wilderness.” As you can see, from Stephen’s testimony in Acts 7, it clearly says the “church” was in the wilderness. The words used throughout the Old Testament for congregation/assembly in Hebrew are virtually the same (in terms of definition) as the Greek word later used in the New Testament for church. It’s just an assembly of people, and in context, specifically, those “called out ones” gathered together under YHWH. The word used here in Acts 7 is exactly the same as the word used throughout the New Testament for the “Church” of Jesus Christ. 
The typical Dispensationalist, however, believes the Church began in Acts 2. This simply is not so and a careful reading of the Torah easily proves this. Yes, the Church did begin at Pentecost, but it was the first Pentecost at Mt. Sinai, not the one in the 1st Century.
In Romans 11, Paul clearly teaches that when we believe in Yeshua, we are grafted in to the cultivated olive tree — the original Church, which is Israel. 
ROMANS 11: 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 
In Ephesians, we read: 
EPHESIANS 2: 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 
Far off from what? The commonwealth of Israel and the covenants of promise given to them. 
EPHESIANS 2: 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. 

The same sort of language is used to describe the Bride of Christ (a.k.a. the Church) in Revelation 21. There we see that the New Jerusalem is referred to as the Bride of the Lamb (who is Christ). Thus, again we see the Bride of Christ (the Church) described as Israel: REVELATION 21: 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 
The angel then shows the Bride to John: 
REVELATION 21: 9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,deseding out of heaven from God.
As you keep reading, you see that the Lamb’s bride, the New Jerusalem is clearly defined as the 12 tribes of Israel. NOTE: There is no mystical 13th gate called, “the church” in any of the descriptions. Now, let’s go back to the original site of the wedding: 
EXODUS 12: 6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly (Hebrew: “q’hal” = assembly of people - Greek: “plethos” = bunch of people) of the congregation (Hebrew: “adath” Greek: “synagogues,” which is the Jewish equivalent of a modern church) of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 
Compare the above with Scriptures such as... 
MATTHEW 18: 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 
The Hebrew version of Matthew, it says: w’im-lo’ yish’ma` ‘aleyhem w’higad’at ‘el-HAQAHAL (the assembly) w’im-lo’ yish’ma` gam-‘el-HAQUHAL (the assembly) w’hayah l’ak k’goy uk’mokes. In the Greek version, it says: ean de parakousÿ autn, eipe tÿ EKKLESIA (called out assembly);ean de kai ts EKKLESIA (called out assembly) parakousÿ, est soi hsper ho ethnikos kai ho telns. 
All through Scripture, beginning with Abram, we see a people being “called out” by God... and it is and always was Israel. Stephen understood this in Acts 7:38, just as Paul understood it in Romans 11, Galatians 3, Ephesians 2 and elsewhere, and John — as if to totally clear up the matter — was told by the angel in Heaven that the New Jerusalem, was the Bride (that is the Church) of the Lamb (who is Christ). In my opinion, the Scriptures can not be more clear on who the Church is. Constantine, Darby, Scofield, Larkin et al (and those who subsequently followed after their teachings) are the ones who confused the matter.
 The “Church” was married to YHWH on the day of Pentecost, on Mt. Sinai. There, YHWH exchanged vows with Israel saying, “I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God.”  But He later divorced Israel because she constantly chased after other husbands (gods) and continuously disobeyed her Husband, doing that which was wrong, detestable and adulterous. More on that shortly. 
We must acknowledge that all of the first “Christians” were of the Jews and of the tribes of Israel (the Pentecost of Acts 2 caused 3,000 from the lost tribes to get saved). So, to say that the Church is something apart from Israel is to deny its very foundation in the early part of the first century. It was only in the ministry of Paul that Gentiles began to come into the fold. When they did, the apostle was quite clear that they were being grafted into the cultivated olive tree that is Israel, thus being adopted into the family of God, which had already been established long ago. Who is the family of God? 
MARK 3: 32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. 
The “will of God” the Father is clearly laid out for us in the Torah, which is why the rest of the Scriptures always point back to it. Yeshua came to live it and model it for us. 
Now, the Jews are only one tribe out of twelve. Unless you have blood ties linking back to one of the 12, I believe you get grafted/adopted into the tribe of Ephraim. Why? Go back and read Genesis 48, then read Ezekiel 37. There are only 2 sticks that make up the unified body/family/house/church/kingdom of YHWH. So which stick are you on? 
The nations of them that are saved, which are going in and out of the New Jerusalem (in Rev. 21) are going in through 1 of the 12 gates. Again, there is no mystical 13th gate called “the Church.” The Church was defined throughout the entire Bible as Israel, so you will have to go through a gate of Israel to get in. 
God has one people, one Bride, and one plan, which has never changed. John Nelson Darby is the one who invented the doctrine of Dispensationalism, creating division where there never was before. What’s ironic though, is that most Dispensationalist will look at what I am saying here and accuse me of believing in Replacement Theology. I’m sorry, but it is the Dispensationalist who actually subscribes to the idea that the Church has effectively replaced Israel in the plan of God for the past 2,000 years. Then (according to their belief), after our supposed Pre-Trib Rapture out of here, the unchanging God will change back to dealing with Israel again. After studying the Torah for myself, I simply can no longer support such a doctrine. 
The cultivated olive tree is Israel and its roots are Hebrew, going back to Abraham. With this in mind, let’s look again at... 
ROMANS 11: 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? 
This is talking about the natural Israelites coming back to the tree when they believe due to jealousy of seeing those who were once Gentiles reaping the benefits of Abraham’s blessings.
 ROMANS 11: 25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” 27 “This is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.” 
The “fullness of the Gentiles” goes back to the blessing Jacob spoke over Ephraim in... 
GENESIS 48: 17 When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on Ephraim’s head, it displeased him; and he grasped his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. 18 Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. Place your right hand on his head.” 19 But his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations.” 20 He blessed them that day, saying, “By you Israel will pronounce blessing, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!’” 
Now, check out the Hebrew in the latter part of verse 19: 
Perhaps Darby just understood the meaning of the Hebrew word “melo” (Strong’s #4393), which means “fullness” but completely missed the connection Paul was making to it? I don’t know, but this is how God made a people “who were not a people,” into the people of God, which is Israel, as the apostle says in... 
ROMANS 9: 23 And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles. 25 As He says also in Hosea, “I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’ And her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’” 26 “And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’ There they shall be called sons of the living God.” 
“God’s people” all through the Bible is a reference to Israel. In Romans 9, Paul quotes Hosea, describing the fullness of the Gentiles who were not a people, becoming a people, even the sons of the living God. When the fullness of the Gentiles come into covenant— thus being grafted into the tree — then all Israel will be saved. 
Now, let’s get back to the issue of YHWH divorcing Israel and how He redeemed her back to Himself: 
Yeshua said, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” (Matthew 15:24) Why did He say that to the Jews? Why the lost from the house of Israel? Both are harlots, but Judah is actually part of Israel as one of the 12 tribes. He came for the whole house, because the Groom needed to redeem all of the adulterous Bride. 
JEREMIAH 3: 1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the Lord. 4. See also the Young’s Literal Translation of Genesis 48:19 5. Hosea 2:23. See also 1 Peter 2:9,10 
YHWH says “return again to me” but we see that He divorced Israel: 
JEREMIAH 3: 8 “And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.” 
Yeshua says... 
MATTHEW 5: 32“But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.” 
From where did Jeremiah and Yeshua get this notion? From the Torah— the Father’s marriage contract: 
DEUTERONOMY 24: 1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2 And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man’s wife. 3 And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4 Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 
YHWH married Israel at Mt. Sinai. His Torah was the marriage covenant. Through it, He said: 
EXODUS 19: 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel. 
NOTE: This is the same language later used by the Apostle Peter, concerning those who believe: 
1 PETER 2: 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 
When Israel later began whoring after other gods, YHWH divorced her. But that meant, according to God’s own Law, she could never return to Him and He could never take her back. Yet, throughout the Old Testament, we see the prophets declaring that YHWH will redeem and take her back. How could that be? Would YHWH really violate His own Law? Not a chance! He had an amazing plan in mind. A “great mystery” as Paul called it. 
Though a man can divorce his wife, she can not remarry, for despite the marriage contract, which is easily broken, the two become one flesh. That is not something that can not be so easily separated. If she remarries, she causes the other man to be an adulterer, and she can never return to her first husband, for she has been defiled by the last husband. This problem remains in effect until the original husband dies. 
1 CORINTHIANS 7: 39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband is dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 
Now watch this: 
ROMANS 7: 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 
Did you catch it? The adulterous wife — in this case Israel — was freed from the curse of adultery by the death of Christ/who is the Word of YHWH made flesh. Thus, He was able to redeem His Bride (Israel), completely within the parameters of His own Law. It’s the most amazing love story ever! In order to get His Bride back, the Groom had to die. 
The HCSB renders the above verse a lot clearer for us: 
ROMANS 7: 4 Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another--to Him who was raised from the dead--that we may bear fruit for God. (Holman Christian Standard Bible) 
Now, this makes Paul’s words to the Ephesians make a whole lot more sense: 
EPHESIANS 5: 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 
In Mark 3:19,20 (early in His ministry), Yeshua identifies Himself as the Bridgroom. In numerous places, He also states that He and His Father are one. We see elsewhere that He came to redeem us from all iniquity. Thus, Ephesians 5 explains why Yeshua said what He said in Matthew 15:24. He loved His Church, the Bride, which is Israel, so much that He literally gave His own life to redeem and draw her back to Himself. If the Church did not exist until 50 days after the Resurrection and it was something new (as the Dispensationalist believes), how could Christ have loved and given Himself for something that at the time He “gave Himself ” did not even exist? No. That makes no sense. Christ came and gave Himself for an existing Bride/Church that had gone astray. 
This is the reason why Gentiles have to get grafted/adopted into this family. To be the Bride, is to be Israel, which was redeemed unto YHWH by the death of the Husband. Gentiles were never in covenant to begin with. See John 1:1-14 7. For instance, John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.” 8. See Titus 2:14 are “out of covenant people.” When you accept Christ, you “cross over” (which is what the word “Hebrew” actually means) from death to life. Once you do that, you are grafted into the cultivated olive tree, which is Israel. More specifically, (I believe) you are adopted in through the family name of Ephraim (who was himself adopted by Jacob from Joseph to be his own). This is how we Gentiles become part of YHWH’s amazing plan of redemption! 
Once you understand the above, you realize that Darby was way off-base. His Dispensational theology messes up the entire plan of YHWH as clearly laid out in the Scriptures and serves only one purpose: To justify the equally unbiblical notion of a pre-Trib Rapture. It allows people to look at Matthew 24, wherein verses 29-31 clearly state that Yeshua won’t be in the clouds (where Paul says we will meet him at the “harpazo” of 1 Thess. 4:16,17) until “after the Tribulation of those days,” and say things like “Well, that’s for the Jew. The Church is already gone by this point.” Separating the Church from Israel causes all kinds of problems with reconciling the entire Bible—Old Testament and New Testament—and it totally nullifies huge sections of the book of Romans and other books as well. 
There are only two types of people in this world: saved (adopted/grafted and re-grafted) and unsaved (those removed from or who were never part of the cultivated olive tree). If you believe in Yeshua as your Lord and Savior, then you dear brother and sister are grafted/adopted into Israel. It’s time we end this Darby-induced identity crisis once and for all. Studying the Torah can help us do this! 
I have come to believe that people really need at least one complete cycle of Torah study as a basis before reading anything Paul wrote. You need that foundation in order to understand his writings. I know I certainly did. I never really understood Paul until now and I would suggest, neither do most modern Christians. We must understand that he was a scholar of the Torah and the Prophets. He knew those Scriptures inside and out and regularly wrote things directly related to concepts and ideas found within them. Thus, he was the only one who could really pull it all together and explain the great “mystery of the Church”, which wasn’t that it was “concealed in the Old Testament and revealed in the New Testament,” but rather that she was once divorced from YHWH and He needed to get her back without violating His own Law. The mystery was in how He would do so. Paul figured it out and I love him for it!

I am in no way promoting Justin's ministry here, but this video was made before he fell into depiction of the Hebrew Roots, and it gets things right on target.:


Meaning of the names of the 12 Tribes in the listed order (note, history says that not all the descendants of the 12 patriarchs went to Sinai. Some like Danaus went up into Greece and founded poleis like Argos around the end of the Egyptian 11th Dynasty reign of the 12th Dynasty pharaohs (1646 to 1441 BC). These are the men from 20 upwards so they can fight in an army. This army has 603,550 manpower:

Where is Dan?!

The tribe of Dan's position in the camp in the wilderness
The standard of the camp of Dan shall be on the north side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan shall be Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai. Numbers 2:25a"...Dan became the very type of evildoing. He was placed in the north (Num. ii.25), this being the region of darkness and evil (Jer. i.14)..." (Singer, Jewish Encyclopedia ("Dan"), p. 423)
Notice that the northern army is the Gog and Magog army. Could It be that YHWH is connecting the fact that the 200 million man super soldier Dantie army of supermen are going to war against Israel just after they united and become one stick? 

Dan will not be protected in the End Days. Why? This is what got be interested in this tribe in particularity in my research for Era of 303. Dan will only be redeemed last minute during the last 3 and half years of the Tribulation until Christ returns. The Super Soldiers (according to James Casbolt) are the Danites. Revelation 19:19 is that Danite army that will try and attack Yeshua. Unfortunately, most Danites will not make it into the Millennial reign it seems to me. Will Casbolt be redeemed? Find out until Season 6 of Era of 303!!!
"I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army. The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur." Revelation 19:19-20
According to Jacob's prophecy, Dan will be a snake (Satan/Beast) in the path of the horse (Yeshua's White horse). Dan, as a majority seems will be playing on Satan's side of the Genesis 3:15 seed war.  

 I don't want to get in another rabbit trail here but i've been floored by the revelations i have uncovered with the study of Sparta and the connections to the apostate Tribe of Dan. If we understand Sparta for what it is, we can understand Dan's role as Nimrod's army in the NWO and End Days and how we Christians can be in danger from our own fellow brethren. From my research they were the Spartans who were the most powerful and most feared Greek hoplite army in the Aegean which was a perfect replica of the NWO master race society. Hitler was impressed the Spartans apparently who also believed in an ancient unegntics system to create perfect homoioi hoplites to depopulate the salve state of Messenia (people of the Messiah?). And also, they are not mentioned in the End Times remains of the 144000, making me believe they are in league with the devil. Super Soldier James Casbolt claims this and i found out from my research scripture does too.
"Arius, king of the Spartans, sends greetings to Onias, the chief priest. It has been found in a writing concerning the Spartans and Jews, that they are a kinsmen, and that they are descended from Abraham. Now since we have learned this, please write us about your welfare. We for our part write you that your cattle and property are ours and ours are yours. So we command them to report to you to this effect." 1 Maccabees 12:21-23
If this is true, the Black Awakening is going to be a civil war against YHWH's Israel (and those grafted in by Jesus). We might be purged by our brethren.If i have piqued your curiosity, here are some resources so you can start your own research AFTER the Sabbath day. It is very delicious stuff and expect to see it in Era of 303.

This first video below is one part of a 24 long series of historical evidence of the Lost Tribes of the "fullness of the Gentiles" that Jacob forewarns over Ephraim. This man has some extraordinary information and scholarly insight on this topic and i highly recommend to take the time to check out his lectures. Note: i don't agree with all of his conclusions however, i still respect his research very much. 


  • Russ Dizdar's Book Black Awakening. This vid is a basic summary of it.
  • Here is a full version. This part one of a series.

  • Now once you have seen Russ' claims, see Super Soldier James Casbolt's testimony at the 6:55 mark, in which he covers his bloodline as well as the other 42 children raised with him (that was connected to the blue bloods RH Negative) is of the Tribe of Dan. They, as the people creating these super soldiers, are looking for these apostate ethic Israelites and it seems to me that Dan is the one of these Luciferians desire the most. This fulfills the prophecy of Dan not being in the remain of the 144000 of the End Times and Dan's last words on jealousy in the Testament of the Patriarchs.

  • Steven m Collins Ten Lost Tribes of Israel

    The tribe of Levi is like the Bride. They are only in charge of taking down the Tabernacle and carrying the different furniture. Most of the Levites are not priests, but they helped to carry and take down the massive tent. The priests are only from Aaron's linage. It is said that they are the only tribe appointed to take care of the Tabernacle because of the sin of the golden calf, but most importantly, YHWH foresaw this and already set apart the priests.

     The reason why YHWH says " do not do this or you will be put to death" means that the command is serious. He doe not want people messing around because He is God. You mess around, you will die at His fiery presence. He wants to protect us. It might also be referring to the second death in Hell.

     The Torah did not make as prefect as pertains to our conscience, all it could do was purify our flesh.

     In the Millennial, the priesthood is not done away with and replaced with the order of Melchizedek, it is reformed and made better. Now princes had the chance to do some of the High Priest's roles in Ezekiel 45:17.
    "And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel."

     To summarise, i have listed the sons names with their meanings:
    Levi had three sons: Gershon (an outcast), Kohath (waiting, obedient), and Merari (my bitterness), who became heads of the clans of the Levities. However, YHWH chose Levi's great grandson Aaron, and his descendants to be His kohanim.

     An outcast waiting obedient(ly in) bitterness.

     The Gershonites were responsible for carrying and caring for the Mish'kan's (Tabernacle) woven articles (the coverings of the tent sheets and the insulator of the tent). They dwelt on the west side of the Mish'kan.

     The Kohathites were responsible for carrying the sacred furniture of the Mish'kan. They dwelt on the south side of the Mish'kan.

     The Merarites were responsible for carrying the wooden and solid parts of the Mish'kan and the ropes and sockets for the curtain of the courtyard. They dwelt on the north side of the Mish'kan.  

     The Kohanim, descendants of Levi's great grandson Aaron, were responsible for preforming all of the sacrifices (korbonot) and other rituals on behalf of all of Israel. Only the Kohanim were allowed to perform priestly service on behalf of Israel. They dwelt on the east side of the Mish'kan. 

     YHWH commanded Moses to exchange the roles of the first-born son to the Levities, who would then serve Him in the Mish'kan. However, there was a problem. 

     There were actually 22,273 first-born Israelites form all tribes to 22,000 Levities (300 Levities could not be used for the exchange, since they were first-born sons themselves.)

     To counterbalance the differences, a special census tax of 5 shekels would be required of the 273 sons (the first-born Israelite sons who paid were selected by lot.)

     Why is the Ark of the Covenant covered in blue? Why is everything covered in a different material besides the Ark? Cheek out the meaning of the colour blue by Jim Staley. The colour blue is the colour that you need to have on tzitzit.
    The Kohanim must cover up the Holy of Holies first so that when the other Levities come to to their materials, they will not be killed by coming into contact into the area of the holy of holies.

     The age to work as a priest is 30 to 60. Did not Jesus start His full time ministry in the order of Melchizedek as High Priest at 30? He had to or He will be a sinner. I guess YHWH allows that when you become 30 years old you are at the most mature level of your life. Apparently, ever 7 years their is a major character change and prescriptive change in the person. From what i can remember, when i was 7, i saw Transformers and began writing comics and making movies when i hit 7 or 8. When i hit 14 or 15, i began to stop playing video games and separated myself from the common teenage crowd because of how futile it was. Especially 14, i began to read more advanced books like Lord of the Rings and Percy Jackson and, i got into mythology, and ancient history included. These 7 year markers are very definite. We have cycle in our lifespan. We change when we get older. Changes in chemistry makeup, so I wonder what major changes will happen to me when I reach the ages of 21, 28 (30), 35 and so on.

    PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT

    In last weeks portion, we covered Hosea 2 so my notes here will deal primarily with Hosea 1.

     When it says that the sons of Israel cannot be counted, it means they are the most significant people in world history. When you study the lost tribes (see links above) you realise that from Greek, European and American history after 1300s BC to 1800s is literally Israel's history. Sounds whacked, but it is true. We can trace their names and find out why Paul and Joseph of Arimathea went to these places. Again links are above on this blog. 

     Britain (the covenanted people) were the largest world empire. This would be the only candidate for the prophecy given to Ephraim.

     It is very obvious. YHWH is on a broken record that He is going to bring all the tribes back together. Imagine the size, when considering that Ephraim (one of the 12) became a world empire.

     In Hosea 2, it will be a reversal Tower of Babel event when YHWH gathers His people in the Last Days, we will only know His language, His name and not the nation's names for YHWH.

     The story about Lazarus and the rich man is about weather you have been ransomed you go to Abraham's bossism or Hell in Sheol. It is ironic too, because Lazarus, who was ransomed was poor and the rich man who was not ransomed went to Hell. 

     Paul says in Messiah, we are one body as the church in the wilderness were one body and one organised unit. We all have different and unique callings and functions in the body just as we saw the Levities have different responsibilities and jobs to look after the Tabernacle equipment for example. I believe i am called to use the arts to draw people into God's word and my interest in ancient history.

    Shalom
