The Season Of Our Hiding

Strong’s Hebrew: 4565. מִסְתָּר (mistar) — a secret place
mistar: a secret place, hiding place, concealment

מִסְתָּר

Transliteration: mistar

Phonetic Spelling: (mis-tawr’)
When we say it out loud it sounds like our English word mystery. It’s basically the same word. Mystery involves something hidden, secretive. Mis•tor is used interchangeably in the Bible with the word se•ter which is also the root of this noun (may also be an adjective): S.T.R.
Mis•tor or se•ter may also be a place of refuge where one can feel safety and security. Imagine the extent of safety and security we may receive when we make God our se•ter, our hiding place. 

‘You are my hiding place; you shall preserve me from trouble; you shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah.’
Psalm 32:7

Spring – Aviv-Abib-abyb

is coming very soon and so is the first month of the Hebrew spiritual year, and the seventh month of the secular calendar, now also called Nisan. It’s in this month the first appointed time of Pesach-Passover is celebrated. Meaning an ear of corn, the month of newly-ripened grain. (Exodus 13:4; 23:15) 

Aviv-Abib signifies green ears of grain, or fresh fruits and ran from mid-March to mid-April.
Strong’s Hebrew: 6779. צָמַח (tsamach) — to sprout, spring up
Spring is coming and the Song of Solomon gives an amazing prophetic insight when he says behold the winter is gone. Song of Solomon 2:11

This Song of Songs declares the old is gone. We have seen that as believers symbolically God is our bridegroom and we are His challah/kallah, His bride.
Strong’s Hebrew: 3618. כַּלָּה kallah
(The final step in the Jewish wedding process is called – Nissuin – the word comes from the Hebrew verb – hsn – (Read from R to L and pronounced nasa) – which means, to carry. This describes the bride who would be waiting for her groom to come – to carry her off to her new home!)
These important words are directed to us, the ecclesia, the called out ones.
Song of Solomon 2:11
In this passage the word for winter in Hebrew literally means the season of hiding.

Our salvation is about the ending of the old life and the beginning of a new. The ending of winter – the season of our hiding – and of the coming of spring – aw-beeb’ – abib – אָבִיב
Strong’s Hebrew: 24. אָבִיב (abib) — fresh, young ears

That is what the old life is – winter, the time of hiding (has tav)…
and living in the darkness.
Messiah died and rose in the spring time to end the winter- the time of hiding – in our lives.

Just before Passover/Pesach is the time of Puwriym – Purim, which is considered a minor holiday and literally means to cast the lot.
Purim occurs 30 days (1 month) before Pesach/Passover on the 14th day of the month of Adar—the day established by Mordechai and Esther as a day of ‘feasting and rejoicing’ in commemoration of the Jews’ salvation from Haman’s evil decree in the year 3405 from creation. (356 BCE) Often considered the most joyous day of the year!

Passover begins on Friday, April 19, 2019 and ends Saturday, April 27, 2019

This is the start of a new year in the annual spiritual calendar; beginning the cycle of 7 appointed times of the Lord. We have just looked at the them in the last post, secrets to a life of feasts.
https://www.minimannamoments.com/secrets-of-a-life-filled-with-feasts/
Now is a great time to think about the cycles of life and see them in a new light and with a different perspective as they unfold this year. One of these years Messiah will complete them.

Maybe it will be this year?

Here is yet another reason to see our Heavenly Fathers’ hand in our lives from the very beginning – as the cycle of life in us – has its origins at Pesach/Passover.

Everything has a beginning and an end. Alef and Tav. The beginning precedes all other stages and details, and the end follows all of them. The beginning, if it is a true beginning, contains the seeds of all that is to follow; and the end, if it is a true end, is the completion and fulfillment of everything that preceded it.

This being truth, then the beginning and the end each embody the entire process, both in their own way.
Each is the mirror image of the other.
A true understanding of the beginning reveals the end, while a true understanding of the end uncovers the essence of the beginning. Completing the cycle.

The Way of Life in Messiah Yeshua – Derech/derek, Emet, Chaim. I am the Way Truth and Life – anochi ha Derek v’hemet v’chaiyim.
John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me and means we cannot have the Father without the Son.
“The Way of Life”- חיים‎ דרך – Derech Chaim (pronounced – DE-rekh KHY-yeem) – the path of life, including the life cycle and manner of sojourning.

When “The Way of Life”- Derech Chaim- becomes our way of life,
from morning to night and
beginning from life’s Purim to Passover;
every moment becomes a link in a cycle, a season of perpetual joy as we realize our purpose in life, actualizing our deepest potentials, in which there is no greater joy.
Our baby steps begin from the Purim/Puwreem moment of choosing Messiah, which is the pathway towards where new life begins.
God’s sovereignty, together with our free will to Puwriym-Purim, to cast our lot with Him, means that when we do, the process of spiritual renewal begins.
In the same way, as Jesus/Yeshua told Nicodemus, you must be born again born from above of water and of blood. Both physically and spiritually, with the water of natural birth and spiritual renewal through His word and similarily both the blood of childbirth and of His sacrificial death.

The feasts which God gave to the nation of Israel are so filled with truth about Yeshua/Jesus and contain prophetic revelation concerning God’s plan to redeem and restore.
Leviticus 23:2 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.’

The Spring Feasts take place between Nisan and Sivan. Passover – Preparation Day (Pesach)
Feast of Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMatzot)
Feast of Firstfruits (Yom HaBikkurim)
Feast of Weeks/Counting the Omer/Pentecost (Chag Shavuot)
The Fall Feasts take place in Tishrei.
Day of Trumpets (Yom Teruah) Day of Atonements (Yom HaKippurim)
Feast of Tabernacles (Chag Sukkot)
8th Day Assembly (Shemini Atzeret)
There are two important words in this passage. The 1st is feast, and the 2nd is assemblies (or ‘convocations’ in some translations.)
The Hebrew word is feast/mo’ed which means ‘an appointment, that is, a fixed time or season; specifically a festival’. The 2nd interesting word is ‘assemblies’ or ‘convocations’. The Hebrew word used is ‘miqra’ which means ‘something called out, that is, a public meeting.’ But it also has the thought of ‘a rehearsal’. So God was setting in a ‘fixed time’ during the year when the nation of Israel would be ‘called out‘ to gather together, every year, to ‘rehearse’ future coming events.
Even from the beginning – genesis – beresheet of this chaim – life/lives, we are part of His cycle of life-(lifes) and we all started out exactly this same WAY.  
Has everyone already completed a cycle of appointed times?
There are secrets hidden within the womb – rachem/racham.  (rekh’-em)

The Hebrew word for womb is רֶחֶם Strongs 7358
Racham/rechem  pronounced (rekh’-em)

Rachamim means mercy/mercies. (Notice the plural IM)
https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mysteries-of-im/
The word also means tender mercy, compassion and love.
Here within this place, His Torah is a living picture of our Heavenly Fathers pattern in life and godliness/holiness. 2 Peter 1:3 the Derekh chaim – the path of life, including the life cycle and manner of sojourning. Holiness-set apart.
https://www.minimannamoments.com/mystery-of-rechem-the-secret-of-living-like-royalty/
In truth, everyone alive has experienced the appointed times of the Lord before we even breathed one breath of earth’s air.
Each one of us completed a years ‘cycle of life,’ as represented by His Appointed times -in the very first Season of our Hiding!

If this is the case and we believe LIFE was at the moment of conception, then we are already 9 months old when we leave the womb!
This is the first time zinc sparks have been captured in a human egg. Human life begins in a bright flash of light as a sperm meets an egg, scientists have shown for the first time, after capturing the astonishing ‘fireworks’ on film.

An explosion of tiny sparks erupts from the egg at the exact moment of conception-highlighting the very moment that a new life begins..

The moment life began – the genesis of us was a Holy spark, the divine impartation when the eternal soul, the spiritual part of each of us was implanted within the physical genesis of a human body.
In a previous post we looked at a moedim life as a natural annual cycle. To bring a further correlation to this subject are some facts which are probably well known to many believers; however it bears repeating because of its stunning connections.
If you have seen it before, be encouraged to examine it one more time in the light of all the things that Ruach haKodesh/ Holy spirit has been revealing to us, for we will surely gain even greater insight. His Word is alive and ever new.

The story is enhanced a little by adding in some pertinent information related to each appointed time.
 Moedim מועדים – moe-eh-DEEM. A plural Hebrew word meaning “appointments” or “appointed times” Holy Days in Lev. 23:1-44
Zola Levitt discovered an amazing correlation between the Moedim and the gestation and birthing process of a human baby, from conception to birth. While preparing for writing a book for new parents, Zola contacted a gynecologist for some help in understanding gestation. 
During that session, the gynecologist showed him a series of pictures, pointed to the first one (an egg and a sperm) and said, “On the fourteenth day of the first month, the egg appears.”
The statement struck a chord in his Messianic Jewish mind because that was the date of Passover. He remembered the roasted egg on his family table every Passover.

Now, for the first time, he knew what it meant! Not wanting to lead the gynecologist off from the subject at hand, he didn’t say anything, but continued to listen.
Passover represents ovulation and new life, the egg appears.

On the fourteenth day of the first month in the gestation cycle begins the

Baby’s development (ovulation): Ovulation— the release of an ovum (egg) from the ovary— occurs on the fourteenth day of the month and begins the pregnancy, a new life for the baby.
God instructed Moses that the Passover Feast should take place on the fourteenth day of the first month. During the Passover Feast the Jews place an egg on the table symbolic of the new life granted by the sacrifice of the lamb in Egypt. We are no doubt all familiar with the pagan easter (Ishtar) egg that also represents new life.

Messiah’s crucifixion on Pesach/Passover gave us the chance for life everlasting. 
Passover/Pesach signified the salvation of Israelites from bondage and the beginning of a new life in the Promised Land. 
Yeshua/Jesus was sent to be the blood sacrifice for all mankind. Anyone who accepts Messiah as their Savior has a new life in Heaven.
What is interesting about his revelation is that during the Resurrection Season, three of the Jewish Feasts take place – Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits. 

The gynecologist continued: “The egg must be fertilized within 24 hours, or it will pass on.” This reminded Zola of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and the seed or grain that “fell into the ground and died” in order to produce a harvest, the first fruits of which was presented to God.
The Feast of Unleavened Bread, the planting of the seed or the fertilization, occurs the night following the Passover Feast. (Within 24-hours the human egg must be fertilized or it will pass on.) Twenty-four hours after the Passover Feast Jesus/Yeshua was buried. His burial in the earth, prepared for each of us, the glorious resurrection to come. 


Jesus/Yeshua’s ministry as the Seed. The seed of any plant must be planted in the ground before it can sprout, become a branch and a new creation, and bear fruit. Jesus/Yeshua was buried in a tomb to arise and lead His followers/disciples to bear fruit. 


Next, the gynecologist said, “Within two to six days, the fertilized egg attaches itself to the wall of the womb and begins to grow.” And, sure enough, the Jewish evangelist thought, “The Feast of First Fruits is observed anywhere from two to six days after Passover!”
Implantation of the human egg marks the moment when the fertilized egg arrives safely in the uterus and begins its miraculous growth into a human being. This process may take anywhere from two to six days before it implants.
The Festival of First Fruits, the spring planting, is not on a definite time cycle and occurs on the Sunday following the Feast of the Unleavened Bread. It could be the day after, or it could be almost a week away. This represents the Resurrection of Messiah. 
It is evident that God designed the conception of each of us in accordance with those first three majestic feasts, so appropriately fulfilled by our Lord. In so many respects everything that God impregnates us with, goes through a cycle that begins with conception and culminates in victory. In order to truly embrace the new thing, we must first crucify and bury the old thing. 

Jesus/Yeshua was crucified, buried and resurrected giving us entitlement to eternal life. Just like the fertilized human egg, after His burial He traveled into hell’s gates and defeated death. It was in this victory that He was able to rise with all power in His hands. The seed had been planted that opened the doors for us to have everlasting life through redemption.
Israel’s Feast of First Fruits occurred on the Sunday following Passover, or 2-6 days following Passover. A sheaf of the first harvested grain was waved before God as a statement of faith that Jehovah-Jireh would see and provide for the needs of His people and in thanksgiving for His goodness.


Jesus/Yeshua’s resurrection as our Bread of Life, rose from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion. The planted Seed arose to become the first fruit – firstborn from the dead (spiritually) becoming the first, the genesis of new creatures – God’s harvest under the Re-New Covenant.

Baby’s development (implantation): The fertilized ovum (egg) travels 2-6 days in the fallopian tube, before implanting in the endometrium (the womb’s lining).
This is the Festival of First Fruits! 
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad! Jesus/Yeshua, Our Lord and King, overpowered death!
Rose from the dead!
Not only did He have all power in His hands, but He bestowed upon us that same resurrection power!
Next, he was shown a photo of an embryo showing arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes, a head, eyes, etc. The caption said, “Fifty days.” The gynecologist continued, “Around the fiftieth day, the embryo takes on the form of a human being. Until then, we don’t know if we have a duck or a tadpole.” Zola thought, “That’s Pentecost!” 

50th day the embryo becomes a new creature – a human fetus. That’s the day you can hear the heartbeat – the 50th day, which is the festival of Pentecost/Shavuot, where new creatures are made.

Israel’s Feast of Weeks/Shavuot/ Pentecost, occurred fifty days after First Fruits. New grain was offered to God in thanksgiving for the grain harvest. 
Jesus/Yeshua’s ministry His harvest is The Ecclesia Called Out Ones, the Body of Messiah and it had its genesis on this day. The ministry of His disciples was and is to harvest souls for God’s Kingdom.


As the fertilized ovum divides and grows in the shelter of the mother’s womb, it becomes recognizable as a fetus with human characteristics at approximately fifty days of gestation. From this time, the developing baby becomes even more human in appearance, a new creature.

That is Shavuot/Pentecost/Weeks!
That is the day the Israelites confirmed their covenant at Sinai as God’s people. So with us, we are confirmed in our covenant in Messiah, when we receive His Holy Spirit.
No wonder the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 139 v 13 – 14:  “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee:  for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well.”
From now till Pentecost, the next feast, is a long wait.  So does some special event in human development occur before then? 
Dr. Mathison put it this way: “Well, of course, we have a slowly developing embryo here for a long time.  It goes through stages, but there is really no dramatic change until becomes an actual fetus.” 

She showed Zola a chart picturing an embryo becoming a fetus. 
Then there is a period of general growth for every baby. The senses then start to develop. Sight is not first because there is nothing to see there.
Hearing is first.

The next picture showed the embryo at seven months. The gynecologist said, “On the first day of the seventh month, the baby’s hearing is developed. For the first time, it can hear and distinguish sounds outside the womb.”
Zola knew that was the date for Israel’s Day of Trumpets (Yom Teruah):
This day occurred on the first day of the seventh month. Trumpet blasts acknowledged God’s presence in the land, announced the beginning of the High Holy Days, and signaled God’s finality for the harvest.

 Messiah will return in the clouds to call the saints (His followers) to Him for eternity. This blessed event will be accompanied by the blast of God’s trumpet and the shouted command to come up to Him. 
 At approximately the seventh month of gestation, the baby’s hearing is developed, and he or she could hear the sounds accompanying Messiah’s appearing.

The gynecologist continued, “On the tenth day of the seventh month, the hemoglobin of the blood changes from that of the mother, to a self-sustaining baby.” Then the blood begins to change.
Fetal blood must change to adult blood so that the baby can take its oxygen and breathe its own air when it is born.
That change occurs around the 10th day of the seventh month, which is the Day of Atonement – the blood acceptable.
Zola thought, “That’s the Day of Atonement, when the blood was taken into the Holy of holies!” and placed upon the rachum MERCY kapporet seat of the ark of His presence! Could it also be like the womb-rachum containing His shekinah glory?

The scripture says the blood speaks – for it cries MERCY – rachum.

On the Day of Atonement, the 10th day of the 7th month, the High Priest, according to Mosaic Law, took the blood of sacrificed lambs into the Holy of Holies and presented it as an atonement for the sins of Israel.

Leviticus 17 says:
“For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that maketh atonement for the soul.”
The blood acceptable – just as in the baby the blood is made acceptable to sustaining life after birth!

Israel’s Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur is the most important and Holiest day for devout Jews, it occurred on the tenth day of the seventh month.
This day was set apart to atone for sins.

Set apart – Holy

People sought forgiveness of sin through sacrifice of goats. The sacrifices symbolized God’s promise to forgive and forget sins, if there is confession and repentance. 

Scripture states that, Israel will be saved during the Tribulation, as they come to accept Jesus/Yeshua as their Messiah. Redemption for any Gentile or Jew must come through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. Like the goat for Azazel, used in this day’s sacrifice, Jesus/Yeshua became our Scapegoat, taking upon Himself our sins and dying for them. 

Baby’s development (blood— hemoglobin A): Oxygen is carried throughout the body by the iron-containing protein, hemoglobin, found in red blood cells. The baby’s hemoglobin, hemoglobin F, begins changing to adult hemoglobin, hemoglobin A, in the seventh month of gestation. This change in hemoglobin better adapts the baby to live in the outside world, breathing atmospheric air, rather than living in the womb, having his/her mother do the breathing.
Next, the gynecologist said, “On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the lungs become fully developed.
Then in the 15th day of the seventh month, the tabernacle or the houses of the spirit, the lungs, are finished. That is the first day of a safe delivery. If born before then, the baby would have a hard time breathing.”

And Zola thought, “That’s the festival of Booths/Tabernacles/Sukkot, a time of celebrating the Temple, home of the Shekinah Glory or Spirit of God.” In the New Testament, the Greek term pneuma, normally translated as “breath,” is applied to the “Holy Spirit.” 
Israel’s Feast of Tabernacles/Booths/Sukkot, occurred on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. This joyous feast celebrated the days that God lived with the Israelites in the wilderness, when they lived in temporary accommodations (booths) and worshiped in a portable tabernacle. 

Immediately after Messiah’s Second Coming, scripture indicates He will dwell with His people for one-thousand years called the Millennial Kingdom.
The unborn baby’s lungs begin to mature enough to support life outside the mother’s body during the seventh month. “Spirit” and “breath” come from the same word, whether in Old Testament Hebrew (ruach) or New Testament Greek (pneuma). God blew His breath/ spirit into Adam, which He has transferred to every generation since.
The birth of the Ecclesia was accompanied by the sound of a rushing wind, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.  The Ark of the Covenant was the dwelling place of the Shekinah Glory, where God had instructed the Israelites to prepare Him a Holy/set apart, dwelling place within the fallen earth; so He could temporarily dwell with His creation; for He cannot be in the same place where sin is present.
Now the Tabernacle made without hands Yeshua/Jesus; made the WAY for each of us to Have His presence within the tabernacle of our hearts. Our bodies being that Holy/set apart place, within which He can abide/tabernacle. We will finally tabernacle with Him beginning on that 8th last great day, redeemed by Jesus/Yeshua.
If we go all the way into another month and a half for a full-term pregnancy, we land on the 25th day of the month Kislev. We now have 10 Jewish months of 28 days, or 280 days, which is a full-term pregnancy, and that day is Chanukah, the Feast of Rededication, or new life; and that is the birth day. Any pregnancy will fit on that calendar of the seven feasts as they are announced in Leviticus, Chapter 23.
Birth takes place on the tenth day of the ninth month. Eight days after birth, in Jewish families, a son is circumcised. Zola noted that the eight days of Hanukkah are celebrated right on schedule, nine months and ten days after Passover. 

Israel’s Feast of Hanukkah (Dedication, Lights, Chanukah): This feast was held ten lunar cycles (280 days) into the Hebrew calendar. After the defeat of Antiochus, this festival symbolized victory for and a new birth of Israel.
The eight candles may represent “the eight day of creation” (eternity), and these candles are lit by the Shamash (the servant candle), as Jesus/Yeshua came as the Suffering Servant to be the Light of the world. 

After Messiahs rule in the Millennial Kingdom, scripture states the New Jerusalem (Heaven) will descend to Earth. We will live eternally with our Savior in this place of unimaginable beauty and true shalom/peace. 

The baby is delivered (born) after approximately 280 days of gestation. The baby is an eternal person, because he/she possesses an eternal soul/spirit. This is the genesis of chaim on the earth and is the time where he or she will make a freewill choice which WAY will be followed.
No human being could have understood the gestation period 3,500 years ago. The establishment of the God’s Appointed Holy Days was given to Moses by God, Himself. Its correlation with the human gestation period is not only remarkable but clearly proves Intelligent Design and the existence of an Creator beyond this world that guides the affairs of man. 
On Wednesday, April 19, 2006, Zola Levitt went home to be with the Lord but what a marvelous insight that he left for us.
This is the miracle of life(s)/chaim and true proof that we are not some random evolutional soup. We have a Creator, a Father, who made us in His own image, with love and kindness and with details beyond miraculous.

Think seed… and how God planted within the seed all the instructions for life(s)/chaim – for its development – all within itself and correlating it with His Appointed Times to foreshadow the process of events that would bring redemption to each one of us!
Mem – concealed hidden the place where the seed is planted – think womb – heart/lev – aretz /earth, soil. The seed is the container of the instructions and patterns – the blueprint of life(s) written by THE authority, THE Creator.
Mem in the paleo Hebrew from the word Mayim meaning waters, as in life abundant seas. It is symbolized by water for the way that many living things can be pulled out of it, (fish, as in fishers of men)- and also refers to the waters of childbirth and the amniotic fluid that protects the baby within the womb!

During Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles/Booths, which is a seven day feast, the Kohanim (Priests), performed the sacred water libation. During the days of Temple service, priests would pour out water and wine as part of the ceremony.
The water pouring ceremony at The House Of The Water Drawing: The Water Libation Ceremony, known as Nissuch Ha-Mayim (nisukh hamayim) ניסוך המים
lit. “Pouring of the water”   ניסוך המים
המים ניסוך
Like the breaking/pouring forth of the waters at the birthing time – This was also the ceremony when Jesus/Yeshua cried if you drink of Me you will not thirst again. He is the living water – the water of life/chaim.
Take the word torah and leave out the vowels and reverse the order, read trh (R to L like Hebrew) – hrt is says h(ea)rt.
Yeshua is the HEART of Torah.

To take Gods Word TORAH to HEART, we must leave the things of our winter and the season of our hiding and enter His spring and in doing so, enter the heavenly cycle of New life so meticulously and beautifully prepared and detailed in His Appointed Times.

When you remove the alef – Jesus/Yeshua, who is the truth; from the word truth, all that remains is dead… so
make certain Jesus/Yeshua is the truth in your Chaim/life(s) today…
This is a great opportunity to share with a family who are expecting another child.

Shalom, Shalom!

Don’t leave this page without making a decision.
Its all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are greatly loved and very precious in His sight.
He longs to give you the Shalom He paid the ultimate price for..
SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute, SAY IT RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secrets Of A Life Filled With Feasts

Are we living life to the full?

A moedim-chaim?

There are several scriptures where the length of our life appears to be given a specific number of years. One is in Psalms 90:10. The days of our years are three score years and ten, which equals 70 and we often this use as an indicator of human lifespan. The other sometimes referred to is in Genesis 6:3.

Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” (Berean Study Bible) So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

Notice this verse does not explicitly teach that mankind’s lifespan was limited to 120 years, however what are we to do with what we are allotted?

Interestingly the 120 year timeline was given 120 years prior to the flood, so maybe it was referring to the fact that humanity as a whole only had another 120 years to live before the flood came and not to the length of years that an individual could live?

Whether this is correct or not, our lives do have structure when we are His own, as believers in Messiah.

Is there is a pattern for His Ecclesia in His Moedim? (Annual appointed times for every year?)

In the cycle of life, they are not only for seasons and times of harvest in the agricultural year but they are also for remembrance and rehearsal…

They are also for indicating the promise of future prophetic fulfillment. Do the Moedim/ 7 feasts/appointed times; also have a practical application to our individual lives?

Pronounced moe-eh-DEEM – מועדים

Strong’s Hebrew: 4150. מוֹעֵד moed or Mow’ed: Appointed time, place.

There are many 7’s in the Scriptures.The KJV mentions the word 391 times.

The Gospel of Luke lists 77 generations from Adam to Jesus/Yeshua.

Important Note: the reference to words and their equivalent numbers in posts, is due to every letter in the Hebrew alphabet having a numerical value assigned to it, similar to Greek etc. (See charts below.)

(The first mobile cell phones used this same principle for texting).
MMM is NOT recommending occult based numerology and/or the use of numbers as in Horoscopes/dark arts, or connected to the magic and mysticism of Jewish Kabbalah.)
The definition of Gematria / ɡ ə ˈ m eɪ t r i ə / (Hebrew: גמטריא or גימטריה , plural גמטראות or גמטריאות , gematriot) is one of several methods of assigning a numerical value to a Hebrew name, word or phrase based on its letters.
Gematria is a type of numerological study that may be defined as one of more systems for calculating the numerical equivalence of letters, words, and phrases in a particular Hebrew text and to finding hidden meanings in the numerical values of words.

Gematria works on the premise that the letters of the alphabet can also be used as numbers, and therefore words and phrases acquire distinctive numerical values.
A well known example is that of Revelation 13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of that beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six [666].

Proverbs has seven pillars of wisdom that are in the building of the house of the Lord which can now be applied to our physical bodies, as we are containers of His spirit – ruach, instead of the temple sanctuary of a literal stone building.

Torah – is the wisdom of God – understanding our life with wisdom – we are to get understanding – wisdom is for spiritual life.

The Ark of the Covenant

It was the heart of Gods’ shekinah presence.

 (Hebrew: אָרוֹן הַבְּרִית, Modern: Arōn Ha’brēt, Tiberian: ʾĀrôn Habbərîṯ),
also known as the Ark of the Testimony, is a gold-covered wooden chest with lid cover described in the Book of Exodus as containing the two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. The covenant on stone as Daniel saw in 2:34.

The Stone cut without human hands, is the child born without human hands. 

A virgin conception! 

The stone that was cut without human hands represents God’s kingdom.

This stone will replace all the earthly kingdoms (Revelation 21:1).

The renewed covenant written on hearts of flesh as prophesied by Jeremiah 31:33

Therefore entrance into the blessings of the Covenant, must come through Messiah Jesus/Yeshua/Yahshua alone, for He is the HEART of Torah.

The first letter of the Torah is b (and a v), a Bet (בּ) (bereishit –בְּרֵאשִׁית) Genesis; and the last letter of the Torah is l, a Lamed (ל) in the word יִשְׂרָאֵל – Israel . These 2 letters together spell the Hebrew word for heart which is l-v and lev with the vowel added.

The circumcision of the flesh regulation stated previously was a sign of the Abrahamic Covenant, but Christ circumcises those who have faith in Him, and this circumcision is of the heart [Rom 2:28-29] [Luke 22:20].

The seven pillars of His wisdom are continually maturing within our hearts and minds and as we become conformed to His image; this foundation gives place for the pillars of His life within us.

The pillars are integral to support the life of the spirit within. Cycling us continually towards His heart at the center of our beings. Returning to Him whenever we stumble or stray from His path.

Do the 7 pillars of wisdom perhaps also refer to the 7 Moedim?

Turn and keep on coming. Joel 2:12 AMPC. Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored].

Jerusalem is built on seven hills just as Rome is, one reflecting the natural world, the flesh and the devil principles.

The other Jerusalem is the spiritual type and also reflects the shadow of that which is to come.

Even the new Jerusalem is the final dwelling place of all that is complete in shalom.

Ezekiel prophesied of the Rebirth of Israel. He gives a chronological order of events from the rebirth of Israel to the construction of the third temple (which is the end of Ezekiel prophecies).
Israel’s restoration prophesied by Ezekiel was to be physical then followed by spiritual. Ezekiel 36:36-7 Prophecy to the Mountains of Israel. 36 “And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord.
He prophesied of the hills!
and the people shall fill the waste cities as the flocks at the time of the great feasts covered the hills …

The 7 Moedim are an annual guide to the believer, both of that which has been fulfilled by Messiah; and also for the preparation and ongoing prophetic timeline on future events.

Taking another perspective, reveals that they also possibly hold the mystery of spiritual development, growth and maturity in each of our individual lives. Could this be one of the secrets to living a life fulfilled in the will of God?

Has God hidden the mystery of our life within the Hebrew year and His Moedim?

The annual cycle of the year begins with Passover – Pesach.

This is the beginning of our life in Him. It starts with salvation and as we receive the Lamb of God the pesach offering, our sins are taken away and we start a new life, sinless. The Power of the Passover/ pesach changes us and changes our future, our life will never be the same again. If it is, then consider if we are really walking in His provision, for out of true repentance comes the 180° turn around to go the other way the opposite direction.

The disciples, apostles, left the old way of life –leaving their nets behind them – have we left the things that held us? or have we compromised a little by simply adding Him into what we are content to remain with and want to keep and all we are familiar with? Can our families and friends see a change?? Are our lives really truly centered, focused and fulfilling the gospel word of Jesus/Yeshua? Or is our time with Him carefully slotted in and scheduled at our convenience?

The Moedim cycle of each and every year we live, presents an opportunity for reflection and change!

The power of Pesach truly releases us from bondage just as it did for the children of Israel coming out of Egypt. It ends the old life of slavery to sin and marks the beginning of a journey of life in and with God.

Pesach = Deliverance.

Set free to serve Him – willingly.

The second feast/ appointed time and level of our lives /walk/ journey with Him is our First fruits. Yom Resheet the day of first fruits the first day of the week of eating Unleavened Bread.

As we begin to walk in the power of His resurrection we begin to bear fruit in our lives.

The First Fruit of our salvation is the First Fruits of repentance and change.

First fruits of the unconditional love of the father flowing through us which pertains to life and all godliness in the image of Jesus. First fruits of the newness of life abundant, the joy of salvation and the glory of the father as we walk with Him. This is the first harvest. 

Omer count = Separation to Revelation.

Father will often separate us from old things in order to reveal to us new things and we become part of the ecclesia- the called out ones.

3rd Feast – next is our life experiences – Pentecost/Shavuot – the fire of the father in the form of the Ruach haKodesh.

Giving of the Spirit.

The promise from the Sinai covenant when Torah was first given.

He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. Deep cleansing and preparation waiting on Him and learning among other things, patience!

Tarry here – we wait along the way for the infilling of the exousia, the raw power to make us ready, anointed and willing to do the works of God and to fulfill all that we have being called to be and do for His kingdom.

To go and make disciples, having first become one ourselves.

The fire burns away all the chaff from our hearts and enables the gold within to shine forth and empower us to reach forward for the next greater summer harvest in the life cycle.

The 4th harvest feast could be speaking of the harvest of our salvation as we GO forth for the fields white unto harvest but the workers are few.

Leviticus 23; Psalm 139:16

As we reap the rewards of blessing by giving life to others in sharing the true bounty of life abundant.

Fulfilling our calling in ministering both to the lost and to the Saints. 2 Cor.9:1; Heb.6:10.

This could represent the main period of our life as it continues and makes up the major content of our years.

Until we come into the fifth appointed time of our lives. Yom teruah the blowing of the shofar/ trumpet;

And then will come the time of trumpets, ‘the autumn’, ‘the fall’, of our salvation.

The golden years.

The finishing up of our reaping His harvest, the completing of its gathering in; and our time of preparation to meet our Heavenly Father.

Tying up the loose ends putting everything in order. Anything as yet left undone is quickly put in place, decently and in order. 

True shalom.

Nothing missing nothing broken, mislaid, misplaced or left undone. All is as it should be, no omissions or regrets, for soon will be upon us the remaining feasts in quick succession.

Yom kippur the day of atonement, the sixth appointed time of our life as we will stand alone before our heavenly father.

Panim al panim – face to face.

מָּנִים אֶלמָּֿנִים

Strong’s Hebrew: 6440. פָּנִים (panim or paneh) — face, faces

The Mercy Seat where the blood was sprinkled

Hebrew רחמים (pronounced rakhamim) is usually translated as “mercy.” Notice the IM! It’s actually plural in form, multiple mercies on the Ark of His Presence.

His MERCIES are new every morning!

In an earlier post we looked at Hebrew words including “face” (פנים, panim), “water” (מים, mayim), and even God (אלהים, elohim).

Then we shall behold Him, face to face. And see Him as He is. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 John 3:2; Rom. 14:10

It’s not in judgment for sin for we are already acquitted. (The great white throne judgment for those who are not His own, but the Bema seat of Christ, the judgment seat of Messiah, is for the works we have done in obedience to His call.)

The Holy fire of His presence will consume all that was not of His command and reveal only the gold of that which was His will. 1 Cor. 3:12-15

This leads us to Sukkot, 

the 7th and final appointed time in

 the lifecycle of a true believer will be to live, abide and stay with Him forever.

To Tabernacle in His presence, the booths containing His presence, His joy, His love, His blessings and its ultimate conclusion,

Shemini atseret – the eighth day of Sukkoth – the completion of reading Torah and Simchat Torah – the joy of the Torah.

The Eighth Day

8 represents a new beginning, meaning a new order or creation, and man’s true ‘born again’ event when he is resurrected from the dead into eternal life.  Eight is the personal number of Jesus. When we add together the letter values of the name Jesus in the Greek we get 888.

8th day– the great last day – eternity – the prophetic Torah complete – the day that celebrates the torah called, the joy of the torah, or rejoicing of/[with the]Torah

Hebrew: שִׂמְחַת תּוֹרָה שִׂמְחַת

and the new beginning* – enter the JOY of your Lord

as He says well done you good and faithful servant – no more tears only JOY.

*Simchat Torah or Simḥath Torah (also Simkhes Toreh, Hebrew: שִׂמְחַת תורָה, lit., “Rejoicing with/of the Torah,”) is a celebration marking the conclusion of the annual cycle of public Torah readings, and the beginning of a new cycle. Simchat Torah is a component of the Biblical Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret (“Eighth Day of Assembly”), which follows immediately after the festival of Sukkot in the month of Tishrei (mid-September to early October on the Gregorian calendar).

Judge ourselves with JOY that we be not judged…

The Moedim and what they represent seem to be a cycle that should be an integral part of every believing ecclesia?

Although we are not to come under bondage again to the law as such; according to 2 Timothy 3:16. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

So the Moedim have value for our training.

His Word both the written word and the living Word are mirrors for us and we should hold them up in front of our lives to see if the reflection is that of Jesus/Yeshua in us, the hope of glory. He is in the Moedim, the very essence and fulfillment of them both in our lives and literally. He is the only Feast that truly satisfies.

He is the Word –

He is the Heart of the Word/Torah –

His life is The Word –

Written not on stone in an ark but on our hearts; and we are now the ark of His renewed covenant –

The container of His Ruach/Spirit –

The 7 pillars of His wisdom supporting His life within –

The corner stone of our faith – not cut with hands –

We see Him as we walk through every one of His Moedim and finally to join us to Himself in the marriage of the Lamb on that last great day! Hallelujah!

Shalom shalom!

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven.

Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

The Mysteries of IM – Part 2

People are often curious as to where our term ‘alphabetical order’, comes from.

Logically this has it’s root in the sequence of the Hebrew letters that form the alef beis (alphabet) or Alef-Tav/Tau.

Due to the *occult/hidden connotations connected with the Mazzaroth /zodiac; our initial reaction to anything to do with it is a negative one.

The word occult comes from the adj. 1530s, “secret, not divulged,” from Middle French occulte and directly from Latin occultus “hidden, concealed, secret,” past participle of occulere “cover over, conceal,” + a verb related to celare “to hide.” Today’s meaning in general is supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena:“a secret society to study alchemy and the occult hidden- forbidden knowledge. To say something is occulted is to say it is hidden. Connecte to sight as it is similar to oculus – a round or eye-like opening or design.

 

However the scriptures say that God created the heavens and set them for signs and seasons.

ElohIM: God transcends all life and all we think He is.

He is the creator and the adversary (ha satan) is the one who takes what was good and perverts it and because of that we miss the good things in their origins. There seems to be some truth in the saying, ‘it’s written in the stars’?

From this is a possible explanation why Hebrew language is read from right to left because this is the same order in which they become visible in the heavens during the course of an annual cycle? In the picture below is our Earth, located in the center and the heavens where the stars, (in their constellations) are around us.

Where the arrows point to Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet; that is A, B, G, D in our alphabet.

We are made in His IMAGE..

Five times we are told we are made in His image/essence.

B’REISHEET. (In the Beginning) TAV YUD SHEN ALEF REYSH BET.
ELOHIM (God) FINAL MEM YOOD HEY LAMED ALEF.

TZALEM (Image) FINAL MEM LAMED TZADIK.
5 TIMES. WE ARE TOLD. WE ARE CREATED. IN GOD’S IMAGE. GOD. is. LOVE.

“Elohim” אֱלהִים is an important word with several meanings. Although this word is not the main focus of this post it bears adding more than a brief mention, as some scholars have questioned its plural inference used as a name for God – citing El as from EmmanuEL, MichaEL, ELyon, etc.

Strong’s Hebrew: 430. אֱלֹהִים (elohim) — God, god with both a capital G and lower case g. Phonetic Spelling: (el-o-heem’)

angels divine (1), divine being (1), exceedingly (1), God (2326), god (45), God’s (14), goddess (2), godly (1), gods (204), great (2), judges (3), mighty (2), rulers (1), (Brown Driver Briggs #2570 for many other scripture references at https://www.biblehub.com/hebrew/430.htm)

The word Elohim is the plural of El (or possibly of Eloah as the singular form of the word Elohim is Eloah (אלה), and that form is used frequently in the Bible.) It is the first name for God given in the Tanakh: “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1): The name Elohim is unique to Hebraic thinking: it occurs only in Hebrew and in no other ancient Semitic language.

The Meaning Of Elohim In Hebrew.

Translated into English, the word is “god” (capital or lowercase “g”), and oddly enough can refer to either Yahweh God, or to humans.

‘Elohim’ is a plural word, which is peculiar because God is one (Deuteronomy 6:4). Still, the singular form of the word Elohim is Eloah (אלה), and that form is used frequently in the Bible as well.

The modern western perspective of God ignores the Hebraic concept of “balance,” which is an integral part of the Ancient Hebrews perspective of who God is. Elohim is a grammatically plural noun for “gods” or “deities” in Biblical Hebrew. In Hebrew, the ending -im normally indicates a masculine plural. However, when referring to the Hebrew God, Elohim is usually understood to be grammatically singular (i.e. it governs a singular verb or adjective).

It can either mean “gods” plural (i.e. heathen gods), or it can mean God Himself, singular. The idea of calling God “Elohim” is that God is so infinitely powerful, a plural of the word “God” demonstrates His all-encompassing nature. Rather than Yahoveh, which signifies His existence, or Adonai, which signifies His lordship, “Elohim” simply emphasizes that He is a divine being, or a God, one worthy of worship. Since it is plural with the same type of suffix that can be translated “ites” in English, “Elohim can also refer to the “Sons of God,” meaning Angelic beings.

Elohim is one of three Divine Names by which the Creator is known as He creates. The creation account is probably the most difficult and most enigmatic passages in the Bible. It starts at the beginning and it doesn’t really end. ‘Elohim’ is a plural word, which is peculiar because God is one. Echad. (Deuteronomy 6:4). 

Elohay ha Elohim – God of gods.

There are three stages upon which the creation unfolds. The 1st stretches from Genesis 1:1 to 2:4. In this period God is known as Elohim.
Second, He is known as YHVH Elohim from Genesis 2:4.
The 3rd stage begins around the Noah cycle and flows over into the Abraham cycle and beyond, across the remainder of the Scriptures. Abraham was the first to believe and became not only a ‘new creation’; (Possibly after his face to face, panim el panim?), but he was also the first of a new family of new creations, the set apart – Holy – Kadosh Nation of Israel – His KedoshIM). During this stage God is known as Dabar YHVH, or Word Of God.
The Word of the Lord YHWH, or דבר־אדני יהוה (Dabar Adonai YHWH)
Where some names of God come uniquely from rare roots, the names Elyon and Dabar come from roots that have truly vast domains of application. The word Dabar, however, outdoes even Elyon and is a universe of meaning in itself:
This beautiful name is introduced in Genesis 15:1 where the Word of God is in a vision to Abraham and speaks to him (compare: Elohim where it occurs in Genesis 1:1, YHWH Elohim in 2:4, and Elyon in 14:18).

דבר־יהוה

A brief look at some of many other EEMS..

KedoshIM, K’doshim, or Qedoshim (קְדֹשִׁים — Hebrew for “holy ones,” is a word in plural form found in the Bible several times with respect to persons, their way of life and their interaction with the world around them.

Joshua 24:19b He is a set-apart (Holy) separate from everything and everyone, unique and pure.

There is no measure of uncleanness in Him, and nothing can make Him greater than He is. It is for this reasons the Holy angels sing before the Lord day and night, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” (Revelation 4.8).

Strong’s Hebrew: 4941. מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat) — judgment

מִּשְׁפָּטִים Mishpatim

The word mishpatim means “rules” or “ordinances or laws” and is derived from the Hebrew word shaphat (“to judge”). Parashat  פָּרָשָׁה Mishpatim is sometimes called Sefer HaBrit (“the Book of the Covenant”), since it contains over 11.5% of all of the mitzvot (commandments) found in the entire Torah (53 of 613).

Another example of a word with both an open and closed MEM is Mitzrayim – Egypt.

Mizraim/Mitzrayim is the Hebrew and Aramaic name for the land of Egypt, with the dual suffix -āyim, perhaps referring to the “two Egypts”: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt?

According to Genesis 10, Mizrayim (a son of Ham) was the younger brother of Cush and elder brother of Phut and Canaan, whose families together made up the Hamite branch of Noah’s descendants. Mizraim’s sons were Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim (out of whom came Philistim), and Caphtorim.

The Symbolism of the Word “Mitzrayim” (Egypt) found in the root word of Mitzrayim, according to Brown, Driver and Briggs, is mem/tzadi/resh, metzeir, meaning to border, to shut or to limit.

Mitzrayim, also means straits, narrow place, or blockages which translates as tight spot. (Idiom -The blessing of a skinned knee.)

It’s significance to the believer is in Liberating Ourselves from Narrowness … When God took us out of Mitzrayim, He extricated us from the place of constricted opportunities, tight control.

The root word of Mitzrayim, according to Brown, Driver and Briggs, is mem/tzadi/resh, metzeir, meaning to border, to shut or to limit. Other sources claim the etymology of the word Mitzrayim lies in tzar, either/or; the verb: means to bind, tie up, be restricted, narrow, scant, or cramped, while, a noun: means straits, or distress, and as an adjective means narrow, or tight.

All commentators agree that the word Mitzrayim, represents hardship, distress, oppression, a narrow place or straits.

The sum of all the words in Hebrew which have the plurality’s are indicative of that which is beyond –

the word Hebrew, in Hebrew is the word ivri, the singular of ivriIM, the Hebrews. Ivri comes from the root word avar, which means cross over. The ivrIM, the Hebrews are those who cross over.

The Hebrew word ivri may come from the Hebrew word ever which means beyond.

pronounced as iy-VRiy

means Israeli man

The inner meaning of being an Ivri is transcendence, the ultimate other side spirituality whicht we can achieve. That means that as descendants of Abraham we have the ability through Jesus/Yeshua, to leave/be free from, the system of natural cause and effect that governs the world. The world system typified in MitzrayIM.

Elohei ha’Ivriyim, translated, God of the Hebrews, in Exodus. 3:18

He who is more than-exceedingly abundantly above all-Beyond being contained, without limits and in this,

the exodus from Mitzraim which meant to limit – This is what we come out of, from bondage into freedom –

Beyond the end of ChaIM, the natural life…

Beyond the end of this age, Beyond the end of all thought or imaginations, beyond all that we can offer to Him in our loves, praise and worship, For He has no limits, He is the One who sits on the Eternity of Eternity’s. With God there is always more. All these things… Matthew 6:33

There are many other words with the suffix IM some are:

Talmidim   תלמידם

A plural Hebrew noun meaning “disciples” in its’ truest sense: those who leave family to study and follow the ways of their teacher [rabbi].

They study not only to learn what their teacher knows but to become the type of person their teacher is.  From the Hebrew root word “limmud” meaning “instructed”.  

Strong”s #8527.  Pronounced tal mee DEEM.  Singular: talmid.

Cherubim cher’-u-bim, cher’-oo-bim (kerubhim, plural of cherub, kerubh):

Strong’s Hebrew: 3742. כְּרוּב (kerub)

k’-ru-VEEM כְּרוּבִים

The word Cherub may come from a term ‘to guard’ which would fit well with their role over the ark of the covenant and the throne in heaven

The plural of cherub in English is cherubs, however there is no s on the end of cherubim as translated in KJV

Seraphim. mentioned in Isaiah 6:2 Isaiah 6:3 Isaiah 6:6 Isaiah 6:7.This word means fiery ones, in allusion, as is supposed, to their burning love. They are represented as “standing” above the King as he sat upon his throne, ready at once to minister unto him.  The seraphim (fiery, burning ones)  Strong’s Hebrew: 8314. שָׂרָף (saraph)

plural שְׂרָפִים seraphim …

One of the 12 tribes of Israel..

The tribe was named after one of the younger sons of Joseph, himself a son of Jacob (Israel).

 Ephraim, son of Joseph, who was the son of Jacob and Asenath, daughter of Potiphera (priest of the sun god Re of Heliopolis). A position apparently of some importance, since the position of Baal-hazor (probably = Tell `Asur) where Abraham’s sheep- farm was located, is determined by relation to it (2 Samuel 13:23).

The Mysteries of IM


In Hebrew the letters i and m are 
and
From the Hebrew Alef Bet they are equal to Y pronounced as an i (e.g. big) and together ‘im’ sounds like ‘eem‘ as in ‘seem‘.
The Mysteries of EEM.
This letter for ‘i’
Yod also called a Yud, pronounced like the Y in You and Yes; as we would say Yeshua for Jesus name in Hebrew, as there is no specific letter J in the Hebrew alphabet.

The letter M has 2 forms. 1 used at the beginning of a word called the open MEM because of its shape..,and 1 for the end of a word called the closed or final MEM.

In English, the adding of an ’ apostrophe, which resembles a Hebrewbetween the letters I and M makes IM read as I’M as being the shortened form of I AM.

I am is the declaration of our Heavenly Father when He said to Moses, I am that I am, ehyeh ’ăšer ’ehyeh   אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה

also meaning: “I am who am”, “I am what I am”

or “I will be what I will be” or even “I create what(ever) I create”. Ex. 3:14.

Without the ’ apostrophe in english, the two letters i and m, mean nothing specific, however when added to other words transliterated from the Hebrew language into English, there are some secrets revealed. It becomes an apocalypse – (revealing), of the IMs or EEMs.

If this is your first time on minimannamoments and you haven’t read previous posts, the suffix im, is the addition at the end of certain Hebrew words indicating more than one, i.e. multiples, but usually indicating just two. Similar to English as in this example..

There are several suffixes in Hebrew which are added to regular words to introduce a new meaning. Suffixes are used in the Hebrew language to form plurals of nouns and adjectives, (in verb conjugation of grammatical tense,) and to indicate possession and direct objects.

The understanding in Hebrew thought can be that these words are not fixed and are in a constant state of change!

We recently looked at the New Jerusalem, in Hebrew ‘Yerushalayim’.

YerushalayIM: 2 cities of God – the seen and unseen – visible and invisible.

The IM at the end of Yerushalayim indicates more than one city of Jerusalem and we see the physical one in Israel, the place that God has put His Name.

And also our future dwelling place with His presence as the new Jerusalem/Yerushalyim which the Scriptures tell us will descend to the earth from above.

So there are two Jerusalems/Yerushalyim, the one that we see and the one which is to come, which is beyond the veil of this dimension or reality; yet it is there in the realm of the spirit. We are spirit beings in a flesh and blood physical body, so it should not be strange to us to consider our spiritual future and the reality of what we truly are.

According to revelation, Yerushalyim will descend from heaven, in Hebrew Shamayim, here again is the plural, more than one heaven. There are multiple heavens and Messiah said that the Kingdom of the Heavens is within us. There’s always going to be more to heaven than is yet revealed. 

Part of the word of heaven/Shamayim is Mayim. Mayim is the Hebrew word for water/river. Notice the M at the beginning of the word is the open form and the other M at the end is the closed/final form, used because that MEM closes the Hebrew word. MayiM.

Mayim: Strong’s Hebrew: 4325. מָ֫יִם (mayim) — waters, water living waters, we are to drink of His life.

Again IM in mayim waters has more, meaning more than one.

The Egyptian hieroglyph for M

looks like the triangle waves seen in the electromagnetic waves referred to in physics!

It’s quite possible the M in Paleo Hebrew was derived from the hieroglyph as it’s a basic shape for the definition of water/river or waves.

Ancient Name: Mem,Mayim,Mah. Meanings: Water, Chaos (Gen.1), Mighty, Blood.

The flow could also be an indicator to the river of living water that flows from His throne in Heaven; (throne being the place/location of His dwelling, rather than an elaborate chair).

Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit, is the spirit of the Mayim, living waters, refreshing our souls. The rivers of life/Mayim – haChaim/chayim.

Here again in Chaim is which again is IM the plural, meaning lives. It is true we do have more than one life. If we believe the Scripture that says He knew us before we were born! Then we must’ve had a life prior to that; which makes sense if we believe we are spirit and spirit is an eternal essence!? Then we have the life we are living in the flesh, having been born into this earth. This is the un-regenerate life, as the scripture says, we were born into sin.

The next chaim we experience is our born-again life after salvation, we are still here on the earth but we live our newlife/chaim by the spirit of the living God within us and the focus is changed as we are now looking for the new Jerusalem/Yerushalayim whose builder and maker is God/Elohim.

A new Yerushalayim for a new chaim in the heavenlies /Shamayim which will be an eternal life in His presence.

What else will be in the new Jerusalem/ Yerushalayim? It is that we will be face-to-face, (panim-el-panim), with the Father and see Him as He is?

Panim: faces of gold, facets and attributes.

Why is the Word פנים (panim), meaning: face, plural?

Here are the 4 main nouns:

they all have typical plural masculine endings, im, grammatically speaking, they don’t have a singular form.

Any adjective attached to them takes on a plural form as well, e.g. mayim hamim – hot water.  

One theory as to why this is a rule for these words suggests that these words are plural is because these nouns are constantly changing.

Elim is described as having 70 palms (trees) (70 elders) and 12 wells, a fitting coincidence allowing one well for each of the 12 tribes of Israel. According to Exodus 15:23 and Numbers 33:9-10, the Israelites come to at Elim and camp “near the waters/mayim,” Ex.15:27

Add in oh, or Hebrew letter Hei, H and we get the breath of EloHim.

Each of them is one form that actually has many forms and cannot be captured by a singular noun. Anything not dead keeps moving!

The panim or faces of Elohim/God again is more than one. Our Heavenly Father has many faces/attributes.

If we take the english word FACE and add the letter T, interestingly it becomes the word facet which is the word used for the many ‘faces’ or ‘facets’ (panim), on a cut stone like a diamond.

The letter T or TAV in Hebrew is the last letter in the Alef Bet; which we also know as the beginning and end, the alpha and omega, the Alef and the Tav. It is the symbol that Messiah Jesus/Yeshua used to describe Himself. The Tav is the cross.

As everything is connected…links to pertinent posts are included throughout. 

Jesus/Yeshua, is also referred to as the corner stone, the cut stone, the facets the faces of the stone, the foundation stone and the foundations could be referring to the layers of revealed knowledge in the scriptures?

Both here on earth and in the new Jerusalem/Yerushalayim, is the loves of God/Elohim His Rachamim.

Rachamim is His compassion and unconditional love, together with His mercy that knows no end.

(see post https://www.minimannamoments.com/mystery-of-rechem-the-secret-of-living-like-royalty/) 

This will be the very essence of shamayim – the heavens in the new Jerusalem – Yerushalayim, when we behold the Panim of Elohim!

Strong’s Hebrew: 6440. פָּנִים (panim or paneh) — face, faces

There is a connection to the Sanctuary and face-panim. The ‘showbread’ meant literally, ‘bread of the face,’ ‘of the presence,’ Hebrew lechem panim; Greek: artoi enopioi, artoi tes protheseos.

Showbread/Shewbread. (Hebrew: לחם הפנים ‬ lechem haPānīm, literally: “Bread of the Presence”), in the King James Version: shewbread, in a biblical or Jewish context, refers to the consecrated unleavened bread cakes or loaves of bread which were placed by the Jewish priests of ancient Israel on a table in the sanctuary of the Tabernacle on the Sabbath and always present on a specially dedicated table, in the Temple in Jerusalem as an offering to God.

Mystery of mysteries — what was the purpose of the enigmatic “shewbread” that God commanded was to be baked every week, and put in the Temple every Sabbath day, as a perpetual covenant — an everlasting covenant? It is said that the mystery of the showbread has never been adequately revealed …

Panim, which means front, or face, is itself a multi-faceted word. 

To refer to the same thing in Hebrew we would have to use words that mean ‘image’ or ‘skin’ or something along those lines, but when we use the word panim, we typically don’t refer to the way it looks but to the way it acts: it’s turnings, it’s doings, and mostly its inner workings.

For His infinite, overflowing, all encompassing, everlasting loves, rachamim, will fill and pervade every part of shamayim, flowing, exuding from His presence. Him from whom all blessings flow.

He is the ALEF and the TAV the beginning and the end, He is the source of all. The center and point of origin, from Him is the blueprint of His plan from everlasting to everlasting

All these IM’s are transcendent in nature and as we are being changed from glory to glory.  Are we also the carriers of that transcendence, the same glory that was on Moses face after his panim ‘soul to soul’ encounter?

The word that is translated face in Exodus 33:20 is the Hebrew word panim. None would ever know God face-to-face, panim-el-panim; the Patriarchs experienced God, spoke to God, argued and engaged with God, but none of them received the full essence of God quite like Moses/Moshe.

Seeing God face-to-face promises intimacy but signals a complicated relationship. The Torah testifies that Moses, was known by God face-to-face. (Deut. 34:10) 

as one speaks with a dear friend (Ex. 33:11). Panim el panim expresses kinship.

God told Moses ‘My face (panim) shall not be seen’ (Exod. 33:23), He also promised the Israelites a few verses before this ‘My Presence (panim) will go with you and I will give you rest’ (Exod. 33:14).

The same transcendence that ‘enveloped’ Yeshua as He was transfigured before the disciples.

The same transcendent resurrection power that raised Messiah from the dead, the same quickening that energizes our own mortal bodies to make us alive in Him will also one day be the vehicle, the means of transportation, the substance or the element or medium, the carrier for our heaven-bound Ascension.

We are all in transition and His IM’s are integral both to ourselves and to all that is for here and now and all that awaits us. The mystery of the IM’s in Hebrew language can only be expressed and understood in context of multiple realms.

He is Elohim the God of more than one, of multiples and yet He is One – echad!

He is an enigma, He is Infinite, a paradox, a conundrum, unfathomable. Rom.11:33 How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God!

That His ways are ‘past finding out’ must be the understatement of all time. The prophet Isaiah expresses it so well; ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts’ (Isaiah 55:9).

We cannot fully know God because He is infinite and in this life we are finite, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t study to know Him and know Him more fully, even though His ways are beyond our reach. He does let us search out some of the unfathomable truths.

And yet, His truth is as simple that a child can understand; and at the same time beyond the abilities of the most intelligent minds trying to figure Him out! Superseding our attempts to decipher and our abilities to comprehend.. Who is like unto God?

Chayim: Life that is more than this…… in God unending…….

Rachamim – Loves of God/Elohim, mercy, compassion, no limit and no end to it.

Shamayim: heavens, always more than we think or know…

Interesting to note that the alef beit can be observed in the Shamayim/Heavens from earth.

The Paleo-Hebrew letters are visible in the sky and the shapes definable in the patterns of the constellations which comprise all the stars of the Ecliptic plane. (The part of the Shamayim/heavens visible from the earth.)

(The Ecliptic plane is used to form the Mazzaroth or zodiac which tells HIStory in the heavens Shamayim; NOT fortune telling!)
