Apocalypse Of The Trump – Shofar Notes And Numbers – The Sound Of A Mystery?

The shofar is an ancient traditional Hebrew instrument, a natural trumpet, made from a ram’s horn.

Note in the above text it says the voice of the shofar.
The Hebrew word for voice is KOL…. Click link below for an interactive post on the Voice.

The Hebrew word is shophar:

a horn (for blowing)

שׁוֹפָר

Pronounced: sho-FAR or SHO-far,

 

shophar {sho-far’}; from shaphar in the original sense of incising; a cornet (as giving a clear sound) or curved horn, cornet, trumpet.

Strongs # 7782 Lev. 25:9

Plural: shofarot

It is sounded during the month of Elul, on Rosh Hashanah, and on Yom Kippur.

This first blast of the shofar horn is believed by the Jewish faith to open up the gates of heaven. It is the Voice/Kol of God announcing His presence/declaring His throne manifesting in our midst. 

Shophar

The shofar and Yom Teruah – day of blowing of trumpets –

Blowing the Rams Horn.

A shofar is the horn of an animal that in most cases is twisted. There are three specific types of horns used to make shofarot; the ram’s horn, African kudu horn (later to become a Yemenite shofar), and the African Gemsbok horn (a straight horn).

These horns are from kosher animals that have a horn which can be hollowed out (not the antler of a deer).

Below are other types of horns:

  1. Cattle horn shofar (nonkosher),

  2. Kudu shofar,

  3. Ibex shofar,

  4. Aoudad sheep shofar,

  5. Water buffalo shofar (questionable if kosher),

  6. Partially-straightened ram’s horn shofar,

  7. Fully-twisted ram’s horn shofar,

  8. Blackbuck shofar,

  9. Pronghorn shofar. Most animal horns are hollow and can theoretically be made into shofarot. (Although some are pasul, disqualified, such as that of a cow.) Horns that are not hollow may not be used as shofarot, even if they are drilled through. Antlers, the branched horns of deer, may therefore not be used as shofarot since they are not hollow. Although the horns of pronghorns superficially resemble deer antlers, they are, in fact, hollow and therefore kosher. However, it is preferable not to use the pronghorn shofar because it is not curved.

  10. Gemsbok shofar

God said to Moses/Mosheh,  Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘The appointments of Yahuwah, which you are to proclaim as set-apart proclamations.  These are my appointments.  There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a set-apart proclamation.  You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to Yahuwah.  These are the appointments of Yahuwah – set-apart proclamations which you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

These are the Appointed Times of the Hebrew cyclical calendar.

Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה), literally meaning the

head [of] the year

and is the Jewish Civil New Year.

The biblical name for this holiday is

Yom Teruah (יוֹם תְּרוּעָה),

literally,

day of shouting or blasting.

Because the roots of its use, go so far back through the millennia, it is literally a blast from the past! and maybe it’s where we get that saying from?

The Shofar Blasts

The ram’s horn is blown on the Autumn/Fall Moedim days in three specific ways.

Sounds of the Shofar.

 There are three types of sounds that are blown with the shofar:

a tekiah, a steady blast;

a shevarim, a broken note; and

a teruah, a shattered quavering note;

The shofar-blower can only control the number, length and clarity of the notes, sounded not the key or pitch”

The Shofar is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, in reference to its ceremonial use in the Temple and to its function as a signal-horn of war.

The sound of the shofar is comparable to the trumpet-blasts that announce the coronation of a king.

According to Hebrew tradition, it was on this day, Rosh Hashanah, God created the world and assumed the role of its’ Sovereign; and in the sounding of the shofar we acknowledge Him as our King.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of repentance; in Hebrew it is called Teshuvah and means Return. The promise of Teshuvah is that no matter how far we have strayed from our soul’s path, we can find our way back. The root, SHUV, means to TURN.

Rosh Hashanah is

Pronounced: roshe hah-SHAH-nah, also roshe ha-shah-NAH,

Always on the 1st day of the 7th month and falls on a new moon.

The Torah describes the first day of the seventh month;

1st of Tishri = Rosh ha-Shanah as a

Zikron Teruah,

Memorial of Blowing;

Lev.23

and as a

yom teru’ah

day of blowing;

Num. 29.

This was interpreted by the Jewish sages as referring to the sounding of the shofar.

Appointed Times of Leviticus 23:3 which in Hebrew is:

Moedim – pronounced, MO eh DEEM

The Moedim are times to give thanks to the LORD for all He has done…. Rejoice in the Lord always!

Notice that the Hebrew calendar is divided into two equal parts of exactly six lunar months each; both of which center on redemptive rituals and end with harvests.

The Moedim: the Appointed Times of God. He has set-apart, (Holy), precious times, to meet with His beloved.

Note in the chart above, the use of Gods’ Name as Yahuwah. This is taking the Hebrew letters of YHWH (often pronounced Yaweh); and adding vowels, (vowels are not present as letters in the Hebrew Alef Bet as in English Alphabet.) YaHuWaH.

Yeshua/Jesus, the Messiah of Israel, came and gave us a full understanding of the springtime Appointed Times and He has promised to come again and also fulfill the Autumn/fall Appointments.

MOEDIM

מועדים

Comprising the Hebrew Letters:

(open) mem – vav/waw – ayin – dalet – yod – mem
(closed)

(Hebrew reads from right to left)

and in paleo pictograph letters, both Moed and Moedim:

Moed is pronounced mo-ade’

מועדים

(Note the variant shape of the open/first letter M as the shapes changed over the centuries. Shown in charts further down in post.)

Strongs # 4140 Or moled {mo-ade’}; or (feminine) moweadah (2 Chronicles 8:13) {mo-aw-daw’}; from ya’ad; properly, an appointment, i.e. A fixed time or season; specifically, a festival; conventionally a year; by implication, an assembly (as convened for a definite purpose); technically the congregation are typically called, Jewish holidays/Yamim Tovim but in the Bible are referred to as God’s feast days.

Moa’dim in Hebrew means appointments or rehearsals. They are found in Leviticus 23 and each are called a shadow of things to come. (Col. 2:16-17).

God designed the universe itself, (the sun and moon and the whole planetary structure); in order to point to and regulate the Festivals, the Moedim. Thus, the Moedim are first and foremost…

a part of the creative order,

not merely

a part of the covenant

made with Israel at Sinai.

So from the foundation of creation,

God set within that creation His Moedim -(rehearsal and appointed times,) in order to remind us of His eternal plan.

This is the pattern of the Moedim, invisible yet imprinted within the seed of every woman. Of those who become pregnant, an apocalypse/revealing begins as a new chaim/life develops within her.  Click link for the apocalypse/the revealing of this mystery.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-season-of-our-hiding/

The Moedim represent Gods’ plan of salvation for mankind.

As we have seen the Hebrew word for appointment, appointed time, place, or meeting is   

מועדים

Meanings of the letters:

Mem: the pictograph is of water like the waves of the sea and comes from the word mayim meaning waters, as in seas with abundant life. Symbolized by water, for the way that many living things can be pulled out even referring to the waters of childbirth. Mighty massive, many chaos(like the deep, to come from like water down a stream.)

Think of: The water/ word that washes us clean. The Blood that purchases us and saves us. To question as in the wonders of the sea. Mightiness as in the size of the sea. Chaos as in the storms of the sea.

Vav: The pictograph for Vav looks like a tent peg or nail. The meaning of the word vav is hook, as in a connecting hook used when the mishkan (tabernacle) was constructed; giving the meaning of joining together, making secure, becoming bound or nailed to.

Ayin: the pictograph is the eye. Look, appearance, to see, understand, experience, to be seen, a fountain. Spiritual sight and vision, to watch, to know. His word and His Spirit/Ruach coming together in our souls.

Dalet: the tent door, a path, a way of life. Jesus/Yeshua is the door. Movement back and forth, in and out of the door. Also means dangling or weakness, as in hanging ones head down. The 4 dimensions of Space and Time as in length, breadth, depth and height.

Yod: Arm and Hand Work, what a person makes, Actions what a person does, Throw. A hand closed or closing upon, to work, a deed done, a finished work.

Mem: The closed Mem at the end of the word has the same meanings as the open Mem at the beginning of the word. Mayim begins and ends with the same letter. Waters and is always plural.

These letter meanings when put together give a pictorial insight of the Moedim.

The Pictographs for MOEDIM could read something like this:

Moedim are like the ever moving waters MEM of the ocean they are never still, and life is like that too. It is in constant motion flowing forward, like the cycle of the Moedim.

Following them brings abundant life. From out of chaos comes order, as deep calls unto deep. Then as we are born the first time, we come through the waters of childbirth. Next, as we are born again by His spirit, we are washed cleansed first by His blood and then by the washing of the waters of baptism and then by His Word, the river of Life.

We become connected by covenant VAV, joined together.

As we become His tabernacle on the earth, we become safe and secure, becoming bound to Him and remember the VAV, nails, that made this relationship possible.

We then have our eyes AYIN opened and see His wonders and His mightiness.

We see AYIN more and more clearly as we experience and understand His Ways, His Moedim and Jesus/Yeshua so clearly in them all. Our spiritual sight and vision is increased and increasingly finely tuned as His Ruach leads us day by day.

The DALET, the door Jesus/Yeshua Himself is our path our Way of Life and we in our weakness depend on His strength as He leads us, we follow Him and we go into Him. The Moedim are action and declare to us that the deed was done and His life was a finished work.

As the MoediM are cyclical, every year the beginning reaches the end, which is also the new beginning.

Mem to Mem – Open Mem to closed Mem. And like the water it is a picture of, the MoediM and life, keep flowing. While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will also; according to His promise and are celebrated annually in the MoediM. The picture of creation and of continuance and of fulfilled promises to us the bride of His covenant.

 

Below is a chart showing all the letters in early Paleo script, (used until 1st century A.D.) and modern Hebrew.

Moed is pronounced mo-ade’

A common nomenclature/terminology for this Moed is calling it, the Feast of Trumpets. The truth is, it is not a feast in the cycle of annual Moedim/Appointed Times and is only linked with trumpets/shofars or rams horns by inference.

The Biblical Hebrew name for this Moed/Appointed Time is

Zikhron Teru’ah 

The term Rosh Hashanah does not actually appear in the Torah, but rather is referred to as the

(Memorial of blowing [of trumpets

or a memorial with the blowing of horns], Lev. 23:24)

or Yom Teruah 

(Day of Blowing [trumpets] Num. 29:1)

Yom Teruah יוֹם תְּרוּעָה

The Ancient Paleo Hebrew meaning is that: God stands in the crossroads to judge. He is judge over every authority and household. He will judge every spirit in righteousness and truth. All the earth will rejoice in His justice.

The term Rosh Hashanah literally means head of the year. However, was not applied to this Moed until the 2nd Century A.D. more than 1,500 years after the institution of the Holy-day, holiday.

With the Temple destroyed and the Jewish people scattered after the Roman destruction of Jerusalem; observation of the day had to be changed.

Rosh Hashanah is celebrated as the Jewish New Year.

The unique feature is wrapped up in the phrase zik’ron t’ruah, which is rendered Remembrance – zik’ron

or a

remembrance of blowing with loud blasts of sound.

Zichron Teruah

זכרון תרועה

(Vayikra/Lev. 23:24)

Therefore, zik’ron t’ruah or

yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה

Bamidbar/Num. 29:1

would be more accurately translated as memorial/day of loud blasts (of sound).

So we are remembering or memorializing something; caused by, or done in conjunction with, loud blasts of sound.

 Teruah: Phonetic Spelling: (ter-oo-aw‘) Definition: a shout or blast of war, alarm, or joy.

The word teruah, (root: resh, vav, ayin); points us in various directions. While it clearly means a loud sound, sometimes it is a loud sound of war or threats, and other times it is a loud sound of joy or praise.

The word teruah, in its various forms, appears over 30 times in Tanach.

 While teruah refers to the short blasts (of the trumpet or shofar) and

tekiah תקיעה refers to the long blasts,

the verb – taka -תקע – simply means

blowing on an instrument

(regardless of the length of the blasts).

Klein writes that the verb fully means to thrust, clap, give a blow, blast.

The word Zichron

is sometimes translated as

memorial,

but this Hebrew word also means

to mention,

often in reference to speaking the Name of God. E.g., Ex. 3:15; Is. 12:4; Is.26:13; Ps. 45:17 [Heb. 18].

One Greek word was used for both shofar and trumpet – Salpiggi

salpigx: a trumpet

Original Word: σάλπιγξ, ιγγος, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: salpigx
Phonetic Spelling: (sal’-pinx)
Definition: a trumpet
Usage: a trumpet, the sound of a trumpet.

Strongs#4536 sálpigks – properly, a war-trumpet (WS, 797) that boldly announces God’s victory (the vanquishing of His enemies).

In the Old Testament, trumpets were used to called God’s people to war, and to announce victory wrought by Him. Which was a military clarion that proclaimed the Lord inspired and empowered the victory on behalf of His people.

[“The trumpet was the signal employed to call the hosts of Israel to march as to war, and is common in prophetic imagery (Is. 27:13). Cf. The seventh angel (Rev 11:15)” (WP, 1, 193).

Trumpets in the OT summoned God’s saints for His righteous wars (Nu 10:9; Jer 4:19; Joel 2:1). See also Lev 23:24,25; Nu 10:2-10; Ps 81:3.]

The shofar is used to call people to Teshuvah/repentance, and many think that judgment day will be on the day referred to as the day of memorial which is a call to repentance.

The Hebrew understanding of repentance is: (The burning of that which is behind).

Lev 23:24 is commonly called the Feast of Trumpets or Yom ha dinday of the blowing of shofar.

The Hebrew text has neither the word feast nor the word trumpet these are added English words in the translation!

The shofar is the instrument used in 1Cor. 15:52 and 1Thess. 4:16.

This Greek word salpiggi, is often translated trumpet, but from the context of Resurrection.

The last trump: The shofar would be used because resurrection is for judgment. Jewish scholars say, judgment takes place during the feast of unleavened bread in the spring. Whether it’s then or day of memorial, resurrection will probably be called by a shofar.

If Paul meant trumpet in 2 Cor. 5:10; the reference he was making would be to the Feast of Booths /Tabernacles/Sukkot; calling for the celebration of the eternal kingdom.

We are to remember the abundance of His greatness, the expanse of His strength the mighty acts of the Lord God and praise Him in His Holy Place. (Since Jesus/Yeshua made the WAY, we ourselves are now His sanctuary.) In the glorious splendor of His majesty, we remember the One who gives us Chaim (lifes), and we return to Him every breath He gives to us, in praise and loving adoration.

We remember what we were and the life that once was and marvel at the unconditional love that caused the One who bore the penalty of sin, in our place. He lost His life that we may be found and we are raised to life everlasting, abundant and victorious over the finality of death. A death that would have meant eternal separation from His presence,

Do we ever really fully comprehend the reality of salvation?

We have so very much to remember and praise Him for.

Ps.81:3 gives insight indicating this occurred on either the 1st or 7th month.

The shofar was blown at the temple to begin each Sabbath. There was an inscription on the inside wall of the Temple that said:

To the place of the blowing of the trumpet [shofar].

Recently, there were archaeological excavations at the southeast area surrounding the Temple Mount, in an area called the Ophel. Amongst the debris of stones from the destruction of the Temple in A.D. 70, archaeologists actually found a piece of stone with the above inscription. (Zangla, 1998)

When the second Temple was destroyed the stones were scattered all over the place, but most ended up close the Temple, near the present Western Wall.

This stone which was discovered, was one of the top cornerstones. In the times of the Temple, the priests would gather at these cornerstones and blow the trumpet (shofar) to announce it was

Yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה.

This stone has this inscription on it:

The Place of Trumpeting.

So, this cornerstone now actually gives us an association between the Temple and the

Zichron Teruah,

yom t’ruah/Yom Teruah – יום תרועה.

Of course Yeshua/Jesus is our true cornerstone.

He has now made His tabernacle within His Bride. Since Shavuot/Pentecost, there is no need for any special building, but prophecy reveals that the next Temple will be rebuilt by the Jews, many still unaware of who their Messiah is.

There are numerous prophecies indicating that there will be a new Temple built on the Temple Mount. Scripture says it will be the Temple in which the antichrist proclaims himself to be god at the half-way mark through the tribulation; so it could indicate that if we can establish when the Temple will be rebuilt, it may be possible to approximate when the tribulation period will begin.

Arthur Finkle shares the following significant purposes of the shofar: “The shofar is prescribed for the announcement of the New Moon and solemn feasts (Num. x. 10; Ps. lxxxi. 4), also for proclaiming the year of release (Lev. xxv. 9).

The first day of the seventh month (Tishri) is termed “a memorial of blowing” (Lev. xxiii. 24), or “a day of blowing” (Num. xxix. 1), the shofar; the modern use of the instrument survives especially in this connection.

In earlier days it was employed also in other religious ceremonials, as processions (II Sam. v. 15; I Chron. xv. 28), or in the orchestra as an accompaniment to the song of praise (Ps. xcviii. 6; comp. ib. xlvii. 5).

More frequently it was used as the signal-horn of war, like the silver trumpets mentioned in Num. x. 9 (see Josh. vi. 4; Judges iii. 27; vii. 16, 20; I Sam. xiii. 3). 

The shofar is used in the desert, on the temple mount, during the times of Rosh HaShanah (Yom Teruah) and Yom Kippur, as well as in the end of days.

The shofar was also blown at the following occasions:

The sound of the shofar is analogous to the trumpet-blasts that announce the coronation of a king. On Rosh Hashanah, God created the world and assumed the role of its Sovereign, and in the sounding of the shofar we acknowledge Him as our King.

Rosh Hashanah is the first of the 10 Days of Penitence/Teshuvah, and the shofar is sounded to stir our conscience, to confront our past errors and return to God, who is ever ready to welcome the penitent.

The shofar is reminiscent of the revelation of God at Sinai, which was accompanied by the sounding of a shofar. It thus reminds us of our destiny — to be a people of Torah, to pursue its study and to practice its commandments.

The sound of the shofar is reminiscent of the exhortations of the prophets whose voices rang out like a shofar in denouncing their people’s wrongdoing, and in calling them to the service of God and man.

The shofar reminds us of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, and it calls us to strive for Israel’s renewal in freedom and in fellowship with God.

The shofar summons us to the feeling of humility before God’s majesty and might, which are manifested by all things and by which our own lives are constantly surrounded.

The shofar is a reminder of the Day of the Final Judgment, calling upon all people and all nations to prepare for God’s scrutiny of their deeds.

The shofar foreshadows the jubilant proclamation of freedom, when Israel’s exiled and homeless are to return to the Holy Land. It calls us to believe in Israel’s deliverance at all times and under all circumstances.

The shofar foreshadows the end of the present world order and the inauguration of God’s reign of righteousness throughout the world, with a regenerated Israel leading all people in acknowledging that God is One and His name One.

Where does the phrase last trump come from?

In Judaism there are 3 recognized shofarim or ram’s horn trumps.

They are the first Trump,

the last trump, and

the great shofar.

These shofarim should not be confused with the two silver trumpets called chatzatzerah in Numbers 10.

The first trump and the last trump relate to the two horns of a particular Ram.

According to Jewish tradition the Ram caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah when Abraham was ready to slay Isaac and offer him up as a burnt offering.

Post Apocalypse of The Teruahs Cry

https://www.minimannamoments.com/apocalypse-of-the-teruahs-cry/

The first reference the Voice of God announcing His presence was Exodus 19:16

שׁוֹפָר on the top of Mount Sinai

an instrument (not necessarily musical) used to shout to God in a different way. God’s voice on the mountain sounded like shofarot (Plural of the singular shofar) to the Hebrews at Mt Sinai.

Something to think about. When the shofar is blown at anytime, is it an extension of the soul, is it a shout unto the heavens?

It is a reminder to the hearer to wake from spiritual slumber.

Could shofarot and shouts be counted as one and the same in the scriptures? 

If we believe in the Messiah of the Brit Hadasha/New Testament, HIS return will probably be announced with the sound of the shofar at God’s specific timing. If we are not listening / hearing we may be caught unaware.

Timing is everything in the scriptures. From the gathering of Israel around the tabernacle in the wilderness, to the fall of Jericho, and from Messiah’s birth to HIS return.

We recall what happened when both shouts with voices and with the shofar were released; huge walls fall at their sound as at Jericho.

Jericho in Joshua 6:20 is another scriptural connection between T’ruah and the Shofar.

The wall fell flat – a closer reading of the scripture reveals that it was the people, not the shofar, making the T’ruah. T’ruah is the sound of people shouting, yelling, or otherwise making loud sounds with their mouth (pey/fey).

Elsewhere in scripture t’ruah is the sound of alarm from the silver trumpets

Numbers 10:5 B’midbar

These silver trumpets are for the temple and are called chatzatzerah in Numbers 10.

Also spelled in Strongs#2689

chatsotsrah: (an ancient) trumpet

Original Word: חֲצֹצְרָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: chatsotsrah
Phonetic Spelling: (khats-o-tser-aw’)
Definition: (an ancient) trumpet

 

The sound of the shofaron,

Yom Hakipuriym

in the year of Jubilee –

A shout of praise. 1 Sam. 4:5-6; Ezra 3:11.

A shout of joy. Job 8:21; Ps. 89:15 and the playing of musical instruments Ps. 150:5 in other words loud blasts of sound.

Mmm is not claiming to be expert on any subject, especially when discussing issues from the scriptures, simply offering information upon which to ponder.

Next let’s look at the Paleo Hebrew Pictographs and see if there is any further apocalypse/revelation…..

שׁוֹפָר

Sheen/Shin +Vav +Fey/Pey + Resh/Reysh

Shen/shin/sheen

is the letter God uses to identify Himself. Meaning: sharp, to consume, destroy.

The ruach/spirit, the fervent ardency, the intense, fiery, consuming, passionate, POWER of His being/His essence.

VAV/ UaU/VAW

It’s the letter that joins together a nail or peg. Meanings: ownership, custody, purchased, WAV binding together as one in and through Messiah/Mashiach. We are grafted into the branch.

Fay/Fey-F/PH; Pay/Pei Pey

Pey can also look like this:

Mouth, To speak or, to open.

Brit Chadashah speaks of the Renewed covenant. We can see Pei, a mouth open, words of life or death and we are to choose life. Luke 6:45. Messiah is the way, truth and the life. Life abundantly, and our mouths are to open ready to share the gospel message. Showing the entrance, the way, the door, the beginning of new life. (80 is 8 x 10 and is the number of Yeshua/Jesus and of new beginnings.

R – RESH REYSH

Person/head or leader.

A messianic interpretation:

The first mystery is that God is identifying Himself and was connecting Himself to Moses so that he could speak with him. Gods’ Holy presence, which was announced by the shofar, was so terrible that Moses was filled with fear!

The VAV connects what is on the right to what is on the left within the word shofar. …Sheen says, God has already identified Himself from one side… so what is on the other side?

The letters on the other side are letters pey and reysh. They make a word of their own, originally found in Genesis 12:16. This word is translated as ox Judges 6:26. It’s the word used for a bullock that Gideon offers as a sacrifice for sin. The fear created by sin, caused the great divide/separation, between God and us. This is because of His Holiness and our sinfulness.

However it is the very same God who provides the sacrifice/Himself, that is the AT ONE MENT for that sin bringing reconciliation between Himself and us. For the Hebrews is was just once a year at Yom Kippur.

Heb. 9:13-14 points us to the ultimate sacrifice, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkled, was a sanctifying action. How much more the blood of Messiah!

The bull/heifer was a mere type of the ultimate sacrifice.

Part 2 will conclude.. The Apocalypse of the Trump

the straight way – the right path –

the way (דֶּרֶךְ – derekh) and the truth (אֶמֶת – emet) and the life (חַיִּים – chayim)

The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

Psalms 118:22

Isaiah 28:16

Messiah is the Rejected stone

The word for rejected in Hebrew is

Ma’as – מָאַ֗סְ

Messiah is the stone and according to the Hebrew word for rejected – Maas – מָאַ֗סְ;    He, as that stone, would be spurned, abhorred, held in contempt, despised and loathed, and so He was.

We can expect the same treatment from the world which hates Him.

Why?

Because He told us this… recorded in

John 15:18, If the world hates you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

In Mizmor: מזמור :81:15, we read of ‘haters of God/YHVH’.

These are those who do not prefer God/YHVH to the rest of what life has to offer and they distance themselves from Him in varying degrees.

There are many other Hebrew words that correspond to our modern understanding of hate: bazah (despise), ma’as (to loathe), to’evah (abominable). 

The Hebrew word mizmor, is a word meaning “melody of praise/ song comes from the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew word mizmor.” It’s where our word Psalm originates (mizmorim – psalms).

Strong’s Hebrew: 4210. מִזְמוֹר (mizmor) — a melody.

Another Hebrew word used for psalms is tehillim.

Psalm 19:1 HEB: לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמ֥וֹר לְדָוִֽד׃ הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם

Psalm 23 KJV: A Psalm of David.

לבחול – to despise, to loathe (ב-) – Hebrew conjugation tables

Strong’s Hebrew: 3988. מָאַס (ma’as) — abhor

Can also be spelled with a letter c – ma’ac

Phonetic Spelling: (maw-as’)

מָאַס   Definition: to reject

ma’as – to loathe

Strong’s Hebrew: 4100. מָה (mah or ma- or meh) — what? how

Strong’s Hebrew: 4639. מַעֲשֶׂה (maaseh) — a deed, work

And of course Ma’asim is the plural.

Maas – מָאַ֗סְ – also means cut off. Which is the idiom in scripture for saying killed and Messiah was killedcrucified.

We can be assured that, as certainly as Jesus/Yeshua fulfilled the first part of that prophecy from thousands of years ago, that He will fulfill the second part as well.

Daniel also spoke of the Stone not cut by human hands..

The rejected stone will become the chief cornerstone.

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; Eph 2:20

Prophetically fulfilled from Ps. 118:22

21. I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation. 22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23 This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.…

One day He will become the final and most glorious crowning stone of the kingdom of Israel and will be lifted up.

This is the WAY

דֶּרֶךְ – derekh

of Messiah.

The cornerstone…

the rosh pinah…

and if we as believers are following Him in His footsteps,

then as we do,

every rejection, ma’as מָאַ֗סְ

every pain, wound, abuse and wrong we have ever suffered will be turned around for our good as the Lord lifts us up and turns every sorrow to glory and

this will be the final chapter of the stone of contempt.

Matthew 21:42
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures (Psalms): ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Mark 12:10
Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Mark 12:11
This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”

Luke 20:17
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of that which is written: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone’?
Acts 4:11
He is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’

Ephesians 2:20
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.

1 Peter 2:7
To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”

Genesis 49:24
Yet he steadied his bow, and his strong arms were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,

Psalm 118:23
This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

Isaiah 28:16
So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

In Hebrew, Rosh Pinah or Pina, means “Cornerstone” and signifies that Jesus/Yeshua the Messiah is the cornerstone of our faith.

The cornerstone of the Galilee – old Rosh Pinah

Rosh Pina is a town and local council in the Korazim Plateau in the Upper Galilee on the eastern slopes of Mount Kna’an in the Northern District of Israel. 

It is a piece of history of the early modern settlers in Israel, now being restored.

Historical records show that in 1877, when a number of families formerly living in S’fat, bought land from the Arabs of the Ja’uni village and tried to establish a Jewish settlement which they called Ge’oni.

Five years later, over fifty Romanian pioneer families arrived, liked what they saw and made their homes here. They changed the name to reflect the very stony ground they had to clear. Taking the phrase from Psalm 118, which we read in Hallel,” the stone rejected by the builders became the cornerstone”, they changed the settlement’s name to Rosh Pinah, which means “the cornerstone”.

The new arrivals tried farming and grew tobacco and started a silk industry. They planted mulberry trees and Baron Rothschild gave each new settler family silkworms and larvae to start them off. The British Mandate saw a customs post erected here as it was the last stop on the route to the ‘Galilee panhandle ‘ and Syria beyond.

Gradually the population of Rosh Pinah declined until some twenty five years ago, when a restoration and regeneration project breathed new life into the village.

The rosh pinah or cornerstone is always the foundation in every building

and this is true of the Temple in Jerusalem whose foundation stones are still there today..

these Herodian foundation stones are huge.

Jerusalem is where God said He has put His Name.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/i-will-put-my-name-here/

Even though Jerusalem is a city of rocks on the edge of a desert. It is still His choice.

In Hebrew, Jerusalem is Yerushalayim  ירושלים; and as we have seen in previous posts, the suffix  I M means it is plural in all Hebrew words that have the letters at the end.

Here is another secret of the IM’s…

As we have seen in previous posts

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mysteries-of-im/

there is more than one Jerusalem

Yerushalayim –  ירושלים;

There is one of time and space here on the earth which we can see with our natural eyes and physically go and visit: and there is another Jerusalem Yerushalayim, ירושלים which is in the book of Revelation called the New Jerusalem Yerushalyim ירושלים that is to come – the one we don’t yet see.

Click link for more on New Jerusalem/Yerushalyim
https://www.minimannamoments.com/21-12-21-12-12-12-12-12-12/

This is also the meaning of AYIM which incorporates the IM…

The New Jerusalem/Yerushalayim/ירושלים will be Perfect but the one now is Imperfect; the ending of the city’s name is AYIM as the last 4 letters of the word Jerusalem/Yerushalayim/ירושלים in Hebrew.

AYIM is also a separate word in Hebrew that speaks specifically of duality as in 2. Emphasizing the 2 Jerusalems/Yerushalayim/ירושלים

And if we are children of God then we all connected by association to Jerusalem/Yerushalayim/ירושלים, both the one now and the one to come. Because of God’s focus on the city, Ha Makem’- ‘The Place’- המקום, it is also important to us and in a way we share its’ nature of dualism.

Our lives are AYIM….

meaning there is always more to it than meets the eye or what we can see with physical eyes. There are two realms and we have two lives. Just as the city is imperfect in it’s current position/state; so is our earthly life, yet we shall become like Him, flawless and perfect in the new Jerusalem/Yerushalayim/ירושלים, in our new bodies, in the New resurrected life to come.

This life may seem to be real to us now, however, the reality is, it is temporal and the truth is always better than what we think we know!

There is coming a glory that is beyond anything we see; beyond anything all of our five senses tell us to feel or understand.

There is a measure of comprehension of an ayim – a duality, yet to be revealed in its’ fullness, and yet it is a choice we have now. We can choose to live NOT by the earthly which we see, but by the heavenly which we don’t; and live by what is yet to become; looking unto Jesus/Yeshua, the author and finisher of our faith.

The AYIN is also a letter of the alphabet and it has the symbol of the eye clearly seen in the Paleo Hebrew below.

Strong’s Hebrew: 5869. עַ֫יִן (ayin) — an eye

The 16th letter of the Hebrew alef-beis/alphabet is AYIN. The numeric value of AYIN is 70.

The pictogram, or symbol, behind the shape of the letter AYIN is two eyes.

Seeing. Watching.

Rabbinical tradition has it that the letter represents the optic nerves of the two eyes, leading back to a solid foundation for life.

This is because the form of the letter AYIN, is very similar to the form of the ‘optic nerve’ structure in the EYE: each of the 2nd pair of cranial nerves, transmitting impulses to the brain form the retina at the back of the eye.  Hebrew defines the EYE as a spring or a fountain; the showing of mental and spiritual faculties.  

The word AYIN

(spelled AYIN YUD NUN) means “eye”.

According to some Rabbis, the ayin is a letter vav contained in a letter nun, combining the 2 pictographs – with the tail of the letter nun being the vav and the ayin/eye being the head of the nun.

The nun represents humility.

The vav signifies Torah, which descends from Heaven to earth in its inherent design of a hook or a chute.

Just as Messiah is the WORD/Torah and descended from the heavens to earth and hooked us as the fisher of men!

 The spiritual number of the letter is 16 and means ‘Sacrifice’.

AYIN is the singular of AYIM which is both eyes.

The 2nd of the duality is of our vision; which gives depth to a three dimensional image.

Photographers call it depth of field.

DOF

We need both eyes to see this 3D effect.

For photographers, it is all about FOCUS! And which part of the image is the focul point….

the place in the image that we are being directed towards; above the focus is on the flower as the dof is adjusted.

It is the difference between a photograph on a flat piece of paper and

the real object that we can walk around, touch and see all sides.

This is a great image of our education and understanding of God and His Word.

We read the Bible on flat (2D) two dimensional pieces of paper.. but the Word is alive and living like a two edged sword it has 3D substance – like faith – that we can get hold of with our spirits.

It’s all about FOCUS for believers also – what are we giving our attention to??

Below the tree is in focus yet both the foreground and background are not. If we don’t use DOF, everything in our pictures is in focus at the same time.

The spiritual application for our lives is; to use our spiritual attributes and put everything out of focus except the Lord, keeping Him as the central point.

even of the things not seen but understood by our faith and trust in Him.

As we see through a glass darkly, we comprehend the things of the spirit by the spirit, as they are spiritually discerned.

The Bible tells us that 

the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

the Word of God encourages us that we can do it.

Our AYIM are open and we see Him as He reveals Himself to us; and we begin to comprehend the length and breadth and depth and height of His love for us; and as the entrance of His Word brings light and life, we become a bearer of that light to the world around us in response to His command.

His life is the light of men.

That life that ended in Jerusalem Yerushalyim; will come again a second time to that very same location/place and bring with Him the new restored city of our God.

Meanwhile, with our AYIN/eyes open; we need to be focusing on and seeing Yeshua/Jesus in everything we do in our lives.

This is the WAY of the rosh pinah – the Way of the cornerstone; the very cornerstone which was Maas = rejected; will be established and our AYIM eyes will see it in time – in both the IM’s of Yerushalayim

Ps 122
Ps 147:2-3
Rev 21: 1-2
Eph 1

The origin of the Hebrew word for Jerusalem Yerushalayim (ירושלים) comes from a city called Rushalimum or Urushalimum (Foundation of Shalem) ירושלים Yruwshalayim {yer-oo- shaw-lah’-yim}; a dual (in allusion to its two main hills (the true pointing/focus, seems to be that of Yruwshalem )); probably from (the passive participle of) yarah and shalam ; meaning: founded, peaceful; Jerushalaim or Jerushalem, the capital city of Palestine — Jerusalem.

The ending – ayim as we have seen, indicates the dual, thus leading to the suggestion that the name Yerushalayim could also refer to the fact that the city initially sat on two hills referenced in the Hebrew Bible and Jewish sources. The form Yerushalem or Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) first appears in the Bible, in the Book of Joshua.

We are to

“Shalu Shalom Yerushalayim” – “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem”

AYIN, in Hebrew,  as we now know, means EYE and in Aramaic it refers to SHEEP

AYIN is the ‘EYE of the SHEPHERDwatching over His SHEEP and

The EYE of the SHEEP is ever on the Shepherd, because

the Shepherd is NEVER out of SIGHT or FOCUS

Psalm 121:4-4

I will lift up my EYES to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.

He will not allow your foot to be moved;  
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel 
shall neither slumber nor sleep. 

His ‘EYES’ are never closed to us.

The apostles gave an EYE WITNESS account of the gospel.

John 19:36-37  For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, ‘Not one of His bones shall be broken.’ 
And again another Scripture says, 
‘They shall look on Him whom they pierced.
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.  Even so, Amen.
Revelation 1:7 

AYIN reveals God’s DIVINE PROVIDENCE – His care for His sheep SHEEP, in Aramaic, talyâ means “lamb,” but also “child” and “servant.”  And such was the ‘LAMB of God‘, and the care for the SHEEP of His pasture who have all gone astray. 

1 Peter 2:25 For ye were as SHEEP going astray; but are now returned unto the SHEPHERD and Bishop of your souls. 
Psalm 23: 1 A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
John 10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees;

He is The author and finisher

The Secret of The Letting Down of Wings

Ezekiel 1:25-28 King James Version (KJV).

25 And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had

let down their wings.

26 And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, (אלהים) as the appearance of a

sapphire stone:

and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.

The throne,

has a meaning of

the place/ha makem

of His presence.

Throne: כִּסֵּא kisse or kisseh 

Phonetic Spelling: (kis-say’)

Four Hebrew terms (kissē’, kissēh, môŝāb̲ and teḵûnāh),

one Aramaic word (korsē’), Aramaic כּוּרְסְיָא , ; Biblical Aramaic כָּרְסֵא 

Reminiscent of the English word used in the scripture Ps 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 

Kiss which to us is a show of affection; here is na·she·ku נַשְּׁקוּ־ and means: do homage/worship!

Throne in Strongs: 3678 seat of honor, that which belongs to the Divine Royalty as Heavenly King.

Also in Is.6:1; Ezek 1:26 (twice in verse); Ezekiel 10:11 Kings 22:19 2Chronicles 18:18; Job 26:9Psalm 11:4Isaiah 66:1 heaven is my throne; as seat of judgment.

In Ezekiel 1:25-28 kise’ comes from the root word kacah. It is the word used for a full moon but it’s actually a loan word from the Akkadian language for a headdress or cap. Apparently the Babylonians used the word for the crown worn by the moon god.

The Hebrew word translated applies to any elevated seat occupied by a person in authority, whether a high priest, (1 Samuel 1:9) a judge, (Psalms 122:5) or a military chief (Jeremiah 1:16).

The use of a chair in a country where the usual postures were squatting and reclining was at all times regarded as a symbol of dignity and where our custom and tradition of thrones originates.

and

we as born again believers have the privilege of entering that presence/throne.

Heb. 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Mercy, means to cover, placate, appease, cleanse, cancel or make atonement for.

The presence/shekinah/glory used to be with the ark of His covenant

the mercy seat/kapporet

which was directly above the covenant commandments, (עשרת המצוות Aseret haDibrot – ten sayings) within; which may have been written on the sapphire stone of which the foundation of His presence is made.

Ezekiel 1:25-28 (NIV)  25 Then there came a voice from above the vault over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. 26 Above the vault over their heads was what looked like a throne of lapis lazuli, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.

The Creator/Ruler/King of the Universe, is not sitting on a literal chair, for He is omnipresent in the heavenshashamiyim – שָׁמַיִם . (shaw-mah’-yim)

Now the law/covenant commandments/ have been written on our hearts..

Ezekiel 36:26-27; the promise that the law should be written in the heart/lev, which was to be the special characteristic of the re-new-ed covenant..

and as Yeshua/Jesus told us in Luke 17:21 the kingdom of God is within you. That kingdom will not be marked out on any map; it is not a continent or a spatial expanse like Asia, Europe or America. It is even now in our midst, in the person and presence/throne of Jesus/Yeshua.

The being of God is the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of the heavens are within us meaning in our hearts, our inner spirit beings, this is His throne; the place-hamakem-of His presence.

We enthrone Him in the inward hidden man of our hearts.

There are several places where there are references to subjects covered in earlier posts and links are included. It is important to remember that Ruach HaKodesh builds within us line upon line and precept upon precept and as everything is connected the more we study the more we begin to see the whole picture and plan.

 

The Prophets Longed to See It: 

 

Matt 13:17 Luke 10:24

1 Peter 1:10 highlights the worth of our salvation by telling us how the prophets longed to be a part of it in Verse 11: “The prophets who prophesied of the GRACE that would come to you, made careful search and inquiry, seeking to know what person or time [Messiah/Christ was indicating].

2Peter 2.Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

Strong’s Hebrew: 2580. חֵן (chen) — favor, grace

CHARIS in Greek (χαρις)

In Hebrew, the word for grace is chen, which derives from shoresh, (a root) meaning “favor, mercy, kindness, graciousness.”

In Exodus 34:6-7, one of the great attributes revealed about the LORD/Adonai, is that He is gracious (chanun).

https://www.minimannamoments.com/13-attributes-of-gods-mercy/

The Hebrew word translated as grace is  חן hhen or chen, (Strong’s #2580) and is a two-letter parent root.

In order to uncover the original meaning of this word it is important to first examine each of the roots and words that are derived from this parent root as it is used in the scriptures, literally means favour, to bend or stoop in kindness to another as a superior to an inferior. It has the idea of graciousness in manner or action.

 

A second verbal root derived from the parent root חן (hhen) is חנן 

(Hh.N.N, Strong’s #2603), spelled exactly the same except with the addition of the letter ן (n) at the end. 

This Hebrew verb is paralleled with such ideas as healing, help, being lifted up, finding refuge, strength and salvation (literally rescue).

From a concrete Hebraic perspective, חנן (Hh.N.N without vowels,) means all of this, which we can sum up with

providing protection.

This concept becomes clearer, when looking at the ancient Paleo Hebrew Letters.

Where is it natural for us to run to for protection? Home? In the wilderness for the Israelites, it was the camp, and now we can see how חנה (Hh.N.H), the camp, and חנן (Hh.N.N), protection, are related.

Lastly we need to understand how these words are related to the parent root חן (hhen).

While finding that this Hebrew word is being paralleled with beauty. This beauty is something that is precious and graceful, which is exactly how the Hebrews would have seen the

camp of protection,

a graceful and precious place.

While these definitions do apply to the Hebrew word חן (hhen), they do not completely convey the full emotion and spectrum of the Hebrew word.
This is often the problem with translating Hebrew into English. The English vocabulary is so limited in how it can express the full meaning of a given Hebrew word which involves more of a concept and one word is insufficient.

 

Now we understand that this is the

Throne (place of His presence) of Grace

that we are coming into… when we come boldly, it is into a

camp of provision and protection,

where we can

safely let down our wings

and not have to be on guard.

Wow!

and what is more remembering it is also

the place – ha makem –

of the

mercy seat

and

Yeshua/Jesus atoning blood.

 

There is a further mystery revealed which is connected here and has also been mentioned in previous posts.

The word Racham means: tender love, deep compassion and from the word racham, comes the word rechem, which is the word for womb, they are connected in an intimate way meaning both womb and mercy.

We all have a favorite place of safety and comfort. It may be a chair, sofa, couch or bed; where we can relax completely and more easily fall asleep, because it is like a womb and we often curl up as in a fetal position, its an instinctive reflex reaction.

The only real protection for a new fragile life, is in the mothers’ womb; for the womb is a place/Makem of safety, tenderness and nurturing; where steady growth and development continues for the stages of preparation to successfully enter the next phase of the life cycle.

This is clear in Is.44:24

Rechem is integral to the female body, designed by a loving Father and it is that hidden place of the womb – Rechem – which all humanity has gone through even though we don’t remember it; but without that experience we would not be here. As the word Racham means mercies as well as womb, it also is applied for the love and mercy of our Heavenly Father.

Because of this it means the love and mercy of God is as a womb and herein is the mystery explained. For when we throw ourselves on His mercy

we enter His womb/Racham

of provision by grace.

This Racham is just as integral and important to the believer as the mothers womb is to the developing baby.

Gods’ racham is that tender love and deep compassion which causes us to be born again of the spirit and what Yeshua/Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus in John 3:38.

Remember, Nicodemus would have understood the Hebraic concept as Yeshua explained it, that the entering of the womb Nicodemus questioned, was no doubt referring to entering the camp/womb/rachem of God’s tender mercy/racham.

This rechem is the place – ha makem – which keeps us during our life with tender love.

He holds us protects us helps us grow into

the fullness of Messiah, and become all that He has called us to be in Him; and because His Mercy is everlasting, it’s always there.

The womb of His presence is always available for us to go inside, to enter in and be safe, while we are restored.

The love of God is the womb of new birth – it means that the Racham of Father is the Rechem of our redemption – spiritual new birth – 

This is why the throneplace of His presence – is also linked to the Throne of Grace.

The access to His Throne/presence is by loving grace – one meaning is unmerited favor, we cant earn it – it is freely given/ offered and secondly it is a picture of a safe enclosurea camp, a protected environment within which we are secure and can grow while receiving His loving care and healing.

It’s the likeness of a womb when we enter into His presence, before the throne of that grace.

This is the place of the letting down of wings, of relaxing, knowing where we are, who He is; and that we are completely safe in the Racham of His Rechem, enveloped in His grace.

Here He loves us and ministers to us as we love Him and minister to Him.

10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who foretold the grace to come to you, searched and investigated carefully, 11 trying to determine the time and setting to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they foretold the things now announced by those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.…

and no small wonder when we fully grasp the picture being revealed the apocalypse of these hidden secrets and mysteries.

The prophets only saw in part and so do we

1 CORINTHIANS 13:12 NKJ 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

 

The wisest of men have here but short, narrow, imperfect conceptions, even of the things round about them, and much more of the deep things of God.  Even the prophecies which men deliver by the Spirit of God are far from encompassing the whole of events yet to unfold or of that Divine wisdom and knowledge which is treasured up in the revelation of His Word. Only when we are face to face with God will we see the whole picture. Until then we will only know in part.

As the days we live in grow darker with uncertainties and instabilities abounding, Father/Avinu, is calling us to a closer walk with Him.

He desires that we NOT just visit,the secret place of Ps.91; but to stay there and abide within, keeping a constant connection and an intimate relationship. Here is Shalom – Peace, provided by our Sar Shalom – Prince of Peace. Here no dis-ease and no Ra (the opposite of Shalom) can enter in.

And we are the containers and carriers of the light that shines in darkness Jesus/Yeshua said,

“I am the light [that] shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not.”

 

That means no matter how hard it tries, the darkness cannot put out that light.

Never ever.

We can trust that His light will be there for us.

John 17:21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

Ezekiel 1:25 There was a voice above the expanse  lā·rā·qî·a‘ לָרָקִ֔יעַ

A sound came from above the canopy that was spread out over their heads. Whenever they stood still, they lowered their wings.

 

They dropped their wings they let down their wings.

Strong’s Hebrew 3671 . 

Ezekiel 1:22 And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the color of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above. 23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.

Ezekiel 1 22 Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.

23 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward the other; each one also had two wings covering its body on the one side and on the other. 

24 I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.

25 And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.

And there came a voice – qō·wl – ק֚וֹל

Conclusion in part 2

Meanwhile…

Shalom Mishpachah/Family!

Please don’t leave this page until you make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART 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.

In part one we paused the

narrative at the…

The scriptures indicate that the inner shekinah glory is hidden and obscured to those who don’t bother to seek Him.

Nothing on its exterior appearance gave any indication of the unfathomable glory it contained.

Rock hyrax/badger.

It was the unattractive outward appearance of the rough badger skins that covered the Mishkan which did not even hint at the value within.

Badger Skins – These were the outer covering that everyone saw…plain and uninviting

…just as those in the world saw Him then, the same is still true for many today. 

Then as now, the

Sometimes diamonds are presented in rough packages, their intrinsic value is obscured until the process of cutting, shaping and restoration is completed by the touch of the Masters hand.

These rough packages may be delivered into our lives, diamonds in rough disheveled wrappings…

outwardly damaged, torn and in need of attention.

 We come to Him as we are – in need of salvation and loving care.

All too often

We must trust Him for the goodness in that which He sends, even though it may look different, or uninviting and not appeal to our eyes and physical senses.

As we look by faith to that which lies within; we shall learn the meaning of the secrets of His providence and the treasures of wisdom, kindness and love within the rough exterior.

Isaiah 53:4, NASB: “Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.”

Isaiah 53:1-8 King James Version (KJV)  2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. Also John 1:13,14

One translation puts it this way:

There was nothing attractive about Him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at Him and people turned away.

At that point in their history, the Jews were looking for a King and the Kingdom he would set up here; giving them freedom from the Roman rule.

Those that took the time to look, really look, saw beyond the badger skin/ the plain outer covering. In the same way today as those of us that take the time to look, read, study, pray, praise, worship, and fellowship with HIM in covenant relationship…see so much more. As John said, We see His glory, through Him the glory of the Father, full of grace and truth, John 1:14.

He had no dignity or beauty to make us take notice of him. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing that would draw us to him. We looked down on him, thought he was scum.

Just as in 1 Cor.4:13, Paul said the same had happened to him: We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world–right up to this moment.

There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him.

He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief…it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down.

Amplified version: For [the Servant of God] grew up before Him like a tender plant, and like a root out of dry ground;

He has no form or comeliness [royal, kingly pomp], that we should look at Him, and no beauty that we should desire Him.

Scripture records while on the cross, Jesus/Yeshua quoted Ps. 22 and in so doing, was referring to Himself as a worm.

In an interesting side note:
For at least 5000 years in China, the worm (Bombyx mori), the larva or caterpillar of the Bombyx mori moth; has been producing the thread for luxury silk robes. Only God could create an uninteresting looking grub whose sole diet is mulberry leaves, that would make thread that clothes the wealthy!

When each cocoon is unwound it produces many 100’s of yards of thread.

However the worm Jesus/Yeshua was referring to is in Ps 22 we read:

1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? 
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest. 
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the one Israel praises. 
4 In you our ancestors put their trust; they trusted and you delivered them. 
5 To you they cried out and were saved; in you they trusted and were not put to shame. 
6 But I am a WORM and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people. 

7 All who see me mock me; they hurl insults, shaking their heads. 
8 “He trusts in the LORD,” they say, “let the LORD rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him.” 
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast. 
10 From birth I was cast on you; from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. 
12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. 
13 Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me. 
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me. 
15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. 
16 Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet. 
17 All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me. 
18They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment. 
19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me. 
20 Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs. 
21Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen. 
22 I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you. 
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel! 
24 For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help. 
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows. 
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him— may your hearts live forever! 
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, 
28 for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations. 
29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. 
31 They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!

In Ps 22, Yeshua/Jesus was certainly the man referred to, but what did the psalmist mean when he wrote, “But I am a worm”?

Usually the Hebrew word for a worm is rimmah, which means a maggot or a worm. However, in Psalm 22:6, the word for worm is towla’ or tola’ath. – It is the same Hebrew word Yeshua/Jesus used for worm when He spoke, TOLA’ATH, which means Crimson worm or Scarlet worm. Both scarlet and crimson are the colors of blood – deep red.

Yeshua/Jesus, like the prophetic towla/tola’ath worm, gave His body for us. After the body of the towla/tola’ath worm had served its purpose, it fell off or was harvested from the tree.

Because the towla/tola’ath worm secreted crimson/scarlet body fluid as it died, a scarlet spot leaves a stain on the tree trunk.

For a period of three days the bodies of the female Scarlet Worm were collected as the worm can be scraped from the tree and the crimson gel can be used to make a fabric dye; but the worms had to be gathered up quickly because after three days, the red stain dries out and turns pure white!!

By invoking the image of a worm at His crucifixion, Yeshua/Jesus is not meaning to convey His human status, but rather the color of blood. He is describing the red-stained tree of His Crucifixion.

Nevertheless He chose to liken Himself here to a worm not a King or Savior.

The Red Dye of the Crimson worm (Tolaath of Psalm 22:6, Isaiah 1:18, and Isaiah 66:24) it was used for dyeing the curtains of the Tabernacle (Ex. 26:1) 

It was also used as the red in the robe of the High Priest of Israel (Yeshua our High Priest) and as the second covering of the Tabernacle in the wilderness was Rams skins dyed red, (Under the badgers skins,) most likely with the Tolaath – towla worms as representative of the substitutionary sacrifice and prophetically of the future Messiah.

Also used in the purification rites of a leper (Lev. 14:4–6) and of a house affected by leprosy ( ibid., 51–52); and it was added to the ashes of the red heifer (Num. 19:6)

More on the red heifer at:

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mystery-of-solomons-chok/

The life cycle of the Scarlet Worm, whom Jesus/Yeshua said He was, symbolizes much of what He accomplished on the cross and our relationship with Him. Messiah willingly chose death on a tree for the benefit of the new life His death would bring.

Jesus/Yeshua had to become the worm in order to defeat Satan and defeat every worm that crawls all over our souls and then give us His righteousness (2 Cor.5:21). He was crushed so that His blood might cover our sins.

More detailed explanation at  https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-secret-of-how-a-worm-preached-the-gospel/

There are many renditions and images. MMM hesitates to include ‘likenesses’ in posts and only then to aid our understanding of the content not to determine His appearance for we do not really know what Messiah looked like.

The images we have in our minds eye are often influenced by pictures created by human imagination and what we consider our savior resembled. Remembering His Middle Eastern mother may help our thinking. 

Included are a few of the traditional and non traditional artists impressions below:

The point is they rejected Him from what they saw and did not take the time to look deeper to see who He was on the inside.

Just like the Mishkan, nothing on His exterior appearance gave any indication of the secret and unfathomable mystery of the Glory contained within.

Yosef – Joseph – A Type of Mashiach.

There are parallels between Joseph and our Messiah.

A full list of parallels for further study at https://www.minimannamoments.com/yeshua-and-yosef-jesus-and-joseph-parallels/

The life of Joseph was an archtypical pattern for the other son – ben acher – who would be the fulfilment of Mashiach ben Yosef

Hidden within the TaNaKh are the principles, patterns, and foreshadows that all point to Messiah.

The New is in the Old Concealed, the Old is in the New Revealed.

Concealed in the Old Testament, is Revealed in the New.

The Mystery of Grace Revealed:

The Meaning below with which we are familiar:

This GRACE hid itself under a veil in the Old Testament, but it has been revealed in the New Testament according to the most perfectly ordered dispensation of the ages, forasmuch as God knew how to orchestrate all things.

The meaning of GraceChen in Hebrew from the root word Choresh – made up of the letters Chet (Ch) and Noon (N),

in the paleo Hebrew

pictograph alef bet is amazing.

The chet has a meaning of outside.

The pictograph is of a tent wall or fence = a private place of refuge and a protected Sanctuary, (as in the Mishkan at the center of the wilderness camp).

And Nun which has a meaning of life as well as fish, activity.

The pictograph is a picture of a seed sprout representing the idea of a new generation, continue, offspring and heir.

The concept that God produces new life in us at salvation and then places a fence or wall/hedge of protection around that life so that it will not be removed or destroyed. Wow!

(Secret Place of Ps.91

Chet has a numerical value of 8 = eternity, new creation, new beginning and

Noon has a numerical value of 50 = Jubilee, Shavuot/Pentecost-(Birth of new generation of believers).

According to the Rabbis:

Mashiach ben Yosef will come first, before the advent of Mashiach ben David, to prepare the world for the coming of the kingdom of the LORD.

Of course we know He has already fulfilled the first.

Mashiach ben Yosef: we see that both (Joseph) Yosef and Yeshua (Jesus) were chosen or anointed for a special task.

Here are some of the many ways in which the life of Joseph typified the life of our Redeemer Yeshua.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/yeshua-and-yosef-jesus-and-joseph-parallels/

When Jacob gifted his son Joseph with a coat of many colors,

(Hebrew : כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים ‎ ketonet passim)

lifting him up above his brothers, he reflected Joseph’s calling by the Lord for a life work as a leader.

The Hebrew term KETONET PASSIM means literally

a tunic of palms,

i.e. reaching to the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.

The Hebrew word ‘pas’ literally means ‘extremity.’

Hebrew pas can refer to the palm of the hand or the sole of the foot; here the idea is probably that of a long robe reaching to the feet and having sleeves reaching to the wrists.

In light of the real meaning of ketonet passīm as “a long robe with sleeves,”. It may also be translated as “a full-sleeved robe,” “a coat of many colors,” “a coat reaching to his feet,” “an ornamented tunic,” “a silk robe,” or “a fine woolen cloak.”

Ketonet means coat and is related to tunic;

Israelis, on the other hand, would probably say striped coat, since passim means stripes. 

In most versions it calls this coat, a coat of many colors.

 What this tells us is that this garment was actually one that reached to the hands and feet and maybe striped, not a technicolor coat. (The translation “many colors” comes from the Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament.)

A ketonet passīm was a garment worn by royalty, Jacob, in giving Joseph this coat, was, in effect saying that Joseph was special and that he saw and treated Joseph as a royal person, a person whom he considered to be above all his other sons and would become royalty. He would not have to toil.

Whatever the robe’s precise appearance, it was a regal garment that honored Joseph.  A robe of distinction, which his brothers understood and so hated him for it.

Jesus/Yeshua came as the greater Joseph/Yosef to teach us that being in Him, we too have on that same spiritual garment that extends to our hands and feet – a robe of righteousness.

Both Joseph and Yeshua (Yahushua – His Name means Salvation through YHWH); were the highly favored sons, beloved by their fathers.

They were both firstborns, Joseph by Jacob’s Rachel and Yeshua by Mary. Their brothers hated them and conspired to kill them.

Joseph was sold as a young slave for 20 pieces of silver while Yahoshua was betrayed for 30, the price of a mature slave!

Both were stripped of their clothing, their robes covered in blood, and falsely accused.

Joseph’s brothers threw him into an empty cistern while Yahoshua was placed in a tomb. Both were raised from those places.

Joseph was 30 when he was placed into the service of Pharaoh, ultimately placed in a position to deliver his brothers, and revealed himself twice to his brothers. Yahoshua began His ministry at approximately age 30.

Joseph’s name was changed by Pharaoh to “Tsofnat Paneach” which as already noted, means “Decipherer of Secrets.” Yeshua or Yahoshua revealed His Father, first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles. And while many Jews and Gentiles have missed the Messiah the first time, He will be revealed – unmistakably – the second time.

Joseph left Pharaoh’s court, and he made an inspection tour of the entire land of Egypt.
VeYosef ben-shloshim shanah be’omdo lifney Par’oh melech-Mitsrayim vayetse Yosef milifney Far’oh vaya’avor bechol erets Mitsrayim.

Joseph was given honor and glory by Pharaoh and made ruler over all Egypt. Yeshua/Yahoshua was crowned with honor and glory because of His suffering death (the Suffering Servant whom Joseph prefigures).

“But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.” Hebrews 2:9

The preparation for this role was grueling. Joseph endured the fires of testing, sold into slavery, thrown into prison, and seemingly abandoned by God he must have wondered to himself, “Why is this happening?” It seems clear from hindsight that Joseph was learning the deep humility required for God’s kind of leadership.

We also see the humility of the Son of God in His Incarnation and crucifixion. “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” So as Joseph saved the whole world from physical death by starvation, Yeshua saved the whole world from spiritual death, the judgment of sin.

Our Messiah will return, soon, as a Mighty Warrior (whom Joshua also prefigures), and as our King, Mashiach ben David (whom King David prefigures). Ruler over all and to whom every knee shall bow!

The multi-colored coat Joseph wore with which we are most familiar, is only one small part of a bigger story. Within the bigger story of Joseph as a foreshadowing of the Messiah are the many prophecies, both fulfilled and those yet to be.

We need to pray for ears to hear, eyes to see, and the desire to know Him better through His divinely-inspired Word.

If we have seen signs of our own anointing for a specific task, and find ourselves in the midst of painful and unexplainable trials and tribulations, we’re in good company. God gives responsibility to people of character. Both Joseph and Yeshua are beautiful examples of the kind of leader God loves – a humble one.

Yeshua/Jesus at his first advent coming as the suffering servant or otherwise known as

Mashiach ben Yosef

also came

revealing secrets;

not as an interpreter of dreams, but as one who disclosed the secrets of men.

Yeshua’s teaching consistently exposed the innermost thoughts of the heart, forcing them into the light. As the living Word of God His words are like a sword, which cut through deception and went straight to the motives of men. Exposing sin through deep conviction, He presents the opportunity for real and sincere confession and repentance. He can then remove those sins through His atoning death.

Jesus/Yeshua’s insight and the conviction of His word are a gift. If He probes us in the secret places it’s only because He loves us so much, and because He wants to reveal His GRACE and power to cleanse us.

When we read His Word or seek Him in prayer, we shouldn’t be surprised if we discover some of our own secrets, things you may have even hidden from ourselves. He will reveal what He wants us to see, what He wants us to confess, and what He wants to help us change.

Dan. 2:22 records another instance of apocalypse/revealing.

He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him.

Daniel answered before the king and said, “As for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king.

Dan 2:28 “However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the [fn] latter days.

We are charged to be good stewards of the mysteries of God (1 Cor. 4:1), and that the wisdom of God is spoken by the Spirit of God among those who are made after the Order of Melchizedek; i.e. among those that are perfect (1 Cor. 2:7).

Among the many Mysteries we have the Mystery of the Kingdom of Heaven,

the Mystery of the Kingdom of God,

the Mystery of the gospel, etc.

The seed of the Word of God also reveals the Mystery of Iniquity (2 Thes. 2:7) and last but not least…

Mystery, Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth’ (Rev. 17:5).

MYSTERY~noun : a religious truth that one can know only by revelation and cannot fully understand.

Finally and briefly are 5 well known yet amazing Mysteries that were also full of Joy.

Mysteries were secrets hidden by the Fathers hand until the Appointed time of revealing/apocalypse. They made no sense to most yet now we hardly give them a second thought!

1st: The Annunciation

 The Angel Gabriel announces: “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with thee.” Mary wonders at this greeting. The Angel assures her: “Fear not . . . you shall conceive in your womb, and give birth to a Son.” Mary is greatly troubled for she has made a vow of virginity. The Angel answers that she will conceive by the power of the Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit, and that her child will be called the Son of God. The Incarnation awaits Mary’s consent; (free will). Mary answers: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to your word.” The Word/Yeshua/Jesus was made flesh and dwelt among us.

2nd: The Visitation

 Mary’s cousin Elizabeth conceived a son in her old age, for nothing is impossible with God. Love prompts Mary to go quickly to Elizabeth in the hour of her need. The journey is about 80 miles taking 4/5 days. Even though long and arduous, the journey is filled with joy, for Mary carries with her the Living Word and at Mary’s greeting, John the Baptist leaps in his mother’s womb. Elizabeth exclaims: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. How have I deserved that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Blessed is she who believed that the Lord’s words to her would be fulfilled.” Mary replies: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit finds joy in God my Savior.” For 3 months Mary serves her cousin in all humility until the birth of John the Baptist.

3rd: The Birth of Jesus 

Joseph and Mary go to Bethlehem to comply with the decree of Caesar Augustus.

The hour for Mary to give birth is near, but there is no room in the inn. In the stillness of the night, the Savior is born in a cave.

She wraps Him in swaddling clothes and lays Him in a manger.

The angel announces to the shepherds: “Today there is born to you in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord.” The angelic chorus sing: “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth.”

The shepherds come to the stable to pay homage to the Infant Jesus. Later the Magi come to adore the Him and bring gifts.

4th: The Presentation 

Observing the law of Moses they take Yeshua/Jesus to the Temple to present Him to the Lord. According to the Law the firstborn male child of every family should be consecrated to the Lord. Mary offers her Son to the Father, then ransoms Him back at the price paid by the poor.

God had revealed to Simeon that he would not see death until he had seen the Messiah. Recognizing the Child, he prays: “Now you can dismiss your servant in peace. You have fulfilled your word. This Child is destined to be the downfall and rise of many in Israel, a sign that will be opposed.” And to Mary, Simeon reveals: “And your own soul a sword shall pierce.” After they fulfill all the Law required, they returned to Nazareth.

5th:The Finding of Yeshua/Jesus in the Temple

When Yeshua/Jesus is 12 years old, He goes with His parents to Jerusalem for the feast of the Pesach/Passover.

After the feast of the Pesach/Passover, Joseph and Mary set out to return to Nazareth. At the end of the first day’s journey they discover Yeshua/Jesus is missing. They return immediately looking for Him.

This loss must have caused grief and anxiety to Mary and Josephs hearts. On the 3rd day, they find Yeshua/Jesus in the Temple among the Rabbis/Teachers, who were astonished at His wisdom.

Mary asks, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been searching for you in sorrow.” Yeshua/Jesus says, “Why did you search for me? Did you not know that I must be about my Father’s business?” Yeshua/Jesus returns with them to Nazareth, and is subject to them. Mary keeps and ponders all these things in her heart.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

It’s all about Life and Relationship not Religion.

NOT SURE?

Then simply SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them and turn away from my past.

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus 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 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. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’ name. Amen.
