Begin At His Beginning – B’reshiyt

As mentioned in the last post we are at the start of the annual weekly scripture portions reading through Tanakh comprising the Torah, the Haftorah and the Brit Chadashah/Re New-ed Covenant/Testament.

So we should therefore…

Youngs Literal Translation

The Word was there

B’reshiyt – in the beginning,

at the shaping of the heavens and the earth.

The Word was with God and the Word was God.

Without Him not even one thing existed

for it was through Him He spoke and

all things came into being.

Millennia later that same Word

was made flesh and lived among us.

John 1:14

A translation of

Genesis

B’reshiyt

from the Hebrew words and their meanings:

Could be read as: and the land had existed in confusion and was unfilled, and darkness was upon the face of the deep water and the wind of Elohiym was fluttering upon the face of the waters,

The fluttering

is significant as we read in 

Mark 1:10

“he (John) saw the heavens torn open, and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him (Jesus).

The wings of a dove are always

fluttering

to stay in the air.

Here was the Son, the Father as He spoke, and His Spirit was present descending in the same way a fluttering dove would hover just as He had overshadowed Mary several decades previously.

Verse 3

Could be read as:

and

For those desiring to do further research

there is an excellent transliteration site

of Hebrew to English is at qbible.com

Emptiness and the deep gave way to substance;

and darkness gave way to light.

Nothingness obeyed the Word

and responded to the authority of His will.

Then creation stumbled in humanity, in us,

when humanity heard the Word,

substance became nothingness

and light reverted to darkness.

It should give us pause for thought when

nothingness can hear and obey!

Then why are we so stubborn?

We so often fail to both hear, to listen to His Word and do what He says!

Even nothingness was not rebellious to the Creators voice!

This heart of rebellion in the human soul echoes the words of the slyest beast of the field…

Did God say?

Did He really say?

The voice of doubt, curiosity and rebellion, seeks a compromise of His truth and in the very question, undermines the authority of His Sovereignty in our lives. These doubts attack our convictions and then we consider other things that amount to nothing more than deceptive seducing lies; then we begin to entertain thoughts concerning them…and eventually believe the error.

He has given each of us

the power to choose when we hear His Word.

To listen and obey,

or to ignore,

separation from the Father is the inevitable result.

Sin will always challenge the Word

BUT

the good news is

we have been created anew

and have been given New Life in Messiah

and been granted rulership over sin.

We are new creatures in His image and likeness

and have the power in Yeshua/Jesus

to turn from sin and darkness.

Halleluyah!

In Hebrew Bereshit or B’reshiyt

is the first word of the 1st book of the Bible/Tanakh.

And so the title is its’ beginning.

(His Torah being the first 5 books attributed to Moses).

The very first letter of the 1st word is

B

in the Hebrew alefbet

Bet/Beit/Beyt

and herein is the 1st revelation/revealing

of Adonai/Yehoveh/YHVH.

This letter Bet or Beit means house.

Some scholars point out that the letter itself is composed of

3 x the letter shape of the letter vav

(our letter V as in vine).

Bet is also used for the letter V, vet without the dot.

Vav represents the number 6

which is considered the number of man.

Side note: 3×6! Sounds familiar?

Revelation 13:18 says,

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.

Vav Vav Vav

not to forget a previous post on who has our vav!

https://www.minimannamoments.com/in-times-of-need-and-during-days-of-uncertainty-whos-got-our-vav/

 

 

In the letter B,

is then the sum of 3×6=18

and is the same numerical value

as that of the word for LIFE – Chai.

This could be said as:

the house of creation is then the life of the universe?

The same word Bet

also has another function

in the Hebrew language

and means IN.

This suggests our Creators intention of

living/abiding

withIN this realm He created.

This voice/Kol,

that He spoke,

reveals the glorious power of the creation of the universe

by His spoken Word

and in a way reveals the threefold nature of Yehoveh by the use of the plural ElohIM and the word bara He created; which we noted earlier that all 3 were present at Yeshua/Jesus’ immersion.

Let’s take a moment to remember

our bereshiyt, our beginning,

the day we were forgiven,

redeemed,

cleansed,

delivered from darkness

and brought into His glorious light.

The day we repented of our sin

accepted His free gift of salvation and eternal life;

cleansed and restored to fellowship/relationship with Him.

We are made clean by His redeeming Blood and

the washing of the water of the Word.

This was the moment

Our Heavenly Father

said/spoke

to each of us:

Light Be!

יְהִי / yê’hi) LIGHT אוֹר / or and

His spirit of holiness, His

רוּחַ  Ruach אֱלהִים elohim

Pronounced: roo’-akh -el-o-heem

fluttered over us

much~FLUTTER (V)~ing(fs) מְרַחֶפֶת / mê’ra’hhe’phet, 

and darkness had to flee from us.

Yes, God did say ….

May we have ears to hear and eyes to see

and a heart to obey

the Word that He really and truly spoke.

His plan was and is to give us Life/ Chaim

and the Light was the Life of all humanity

Jesus/Yeshua HaMashiach. The WORD there in the 

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית

He truly is the Genesis, the beginning, the b’reshiyt;

our beginning, our b’reshiyt, …

it is the Truth of us all!

Mish-pa-KHa,

friends, visitors and every reader…

Please don’t leave this page before making certain you have

a new b’reshiyt/beginning

and are born from above.

Know of a certainty that Jesus/Yeshua is

your Redeemer, Savior, Lord

and soon returning King

and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

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

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

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 all 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.

 

Back To The Future Past? Part 2 ..plus.. Who Was Eating Bread On Day 6?

Continuing from part 1 … now a look at the original definition of the English word

Grace.

Elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion or action.

Mercy; clemency; pardon

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

Grace as unmerited favor.

This was also manifest in Eden.

What does the English word grace means outside of theological reference?

The dictionary provides two basic definitions for grace, first:

Elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion or action.

Secondly: Mercy, clemency; pardon.

Because the Hebrew language is vastly different from English, we need to examine the Hebrew meaning of this word to see if one or both English definitions are appropriate definitions for the Hebrew word translated as grace.

Remembering they lived/existed in a state of continual grace before they fell from grace.

And that carries the meaning:

God produces life in us and then puts a fence or wall of protection around that life so that it may not be destroyed or removed.

This is in fact what He did at creation.

The Hebrew word has to do with freely giving without condition or obligation. 

The act of giving grace reveals 2 things, first: a need (like Adam suddenly found he had!). Those in receipt of grace are usually unable to provide the need themselves; so it’s received from another freely, one who can provide and meet the need.

Secondly, it reveals generosity on the part of the one giving, whether out of the individuals abundance or out of what little they have. The supreme act of grace and giving that God extended to humanity can be seen in the acrostics:

which helps us to remember what the definition is, no doubt there are many more than 3.

Now let’s look at Grace with the pictographs again to refresh our memory.

Remember the shape of the letter for Noon or Nun/Nuun, changes over time that is why sometimes it looks different in the illustrations and Hebrew letter  ן
is the Noon sofeet
/sofit which is how you write the letter for N, Noon at the end of a word; as shown here in Grace/Chen; and why so many pictures are included so we don’t get too confused.

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew Aleph-bet. 5 have a sofeet/sofit form (used when the letter appears at the end of a word).

Noon – a seed of life and later a fish = activity and life, continue or air.

Chet – private place of refuge, fenced and protected sanctuary. To separate from outside or protect life – beauty or loveliness. (again sounds like Eden – paradise.)

Eden had to be chet because outside of the garden God planted was not a place of chet/chen or where chen was available. (Not yet anyway!)

Chet as connected to the Mishkan – His Kingdom, qodesh/holy/set apart, according to His Pattern, and His instruction.

The Pattern of the Mishkan is our straight path our narrow WAY/Derek. Our refuge is in Him, walking through the Dalet/Door of Blue Purple and Red.

Chet = 8 carries the meaning eternity, new creation, new birth, new beginning.

Nun/noon = 50 signifies Holy Spirit Pentecost Deliverance followed by rest and Jubilee. (again this sounds a lot like our future as well as the believers life right now.)

The revelation embedded in the value of these numbers is:

8 = the new birth that God graciously initiates in every believer.

50 = delivers us from the bondage of sin and by God’s Holy Spirit produces eternal life.

Again a verse so over read that we miss its deep significance.

Eph 2:8-9 for by CHEN are we saved …..it is the gift of God.

Grace given freely without conditions or obligation by the giver. Gods grace is extended freely to fallen sinful man. Giving back what he lost in Eden.

Grace/Chen is

first seen in Genesis 6:8

(Have to add in the pictographs for Genesis here as they are too good to leave out!)

Bet /Beyt: house tent family son of God – tent house

Reysh/Resh: a person the prince the head the highest – Head

Aleph: strong leader, first, God the Father –Ox

Sheen/Shin: to consume, to destroy, to press against – Teeth

Yood/Yud: work, a deed, to make – Hand

Tav: to seal, to covenant, a sign, crossed sticks –Cross.

The meaning of the very first word,

In The Beginning,

also the title of the first Book,

contains within it the whole of Hisstory and prophetically declares the plan of redemption!

The Son of God destroys (the works of the devil) by (His) hand (nailed to) a cross (by) covenant.

Or the son of God pressed by his own hand to a cross! Wow!

Now to Genesis 6:8

But Noah found grace.

חַנ

Noach/Nuach pronounced No’ahch found Chen

(noo’-akh) nuach or noach means: rested

Or nowach {no’-akh}; from נוּחַ  nuwach (noo’-akh);

quiet — rest(-ed, -ing place)

Here also have to include the progression and possible meanings in the names of the following men in the Genesis 5 genealogy, as their meanings appear to declare the Truth.

(May aid in reading long lists of names elsewhere that apparently seemed to serve little purpose…not so!)

(Noah seems to be spelled both ways but for this post we’ll look at the נחַ Chet and noon/nun spelling.)

Chet is pictured as an inner room to separate a fence a sanctuary like a garden that is protected and away from any harm; (like EDEN!)

Nun/Noon is pictured as a fish which means life and activity.

Again the Meaning:

God produces life in us and then puts a fence or wall of protection around that life so that it may not be destroyed or removed.

Same 2 letters make up his name which means RESTING,

or, in the paleo,

the heir separated from the outside..

as he was in the ark/box, he was given the ability to fence/save/enclose in his seed!

Eden

equal to

rest

equal to a

place of Grace.

REST – SHAKAT

Shin/sheen – quph/qof – tet

Sheen = teeth, destroy

quph qof = sun on horizon, back of head.

tet = fence, inner Eden = a place of shalom.** 

(**for full definition see previous post)

Rest in the Lord. Psalm 37:7

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: KJV

 (dō·wm) דּ֤וֹם

Strong’s Hebrew 1826: 1)

to be silent, be still, wait,

Ex 31:15 Strongs 7677 of rest

שַׁבָּת֛וֹן
šab-bā-ṯō-wn

Strongs 7965; Shalom: completeness, soundness, welfare, peace

Original Word: שָׁלוֹם

נוּחַ

noo’-akh

   5118 nuach or noach: rested,

Or nowach {no’-akh}; from nuwach; quiet — rest(-ed, -ing place).

5117 nuach: to rest

Original Word: נוּחַ
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: nuach
Phonetic Spelling: (noo’-akh)
Definition: to rest

Pre Hebrew, (ivri-crossing over), Israelites and was in action form with Noah; so with the later definition of a camp it’s not just any camp; it is talking about Gods’ camp. The tents themselves formed a protective wall for those within. (The image comes to mind of circling the wagons, or soldiers standing with backs to each other, gives the same image of protecting that which is within.)

Beauty in the camp = a place of refuge was also for those not of the seed = leviticus 19:33,34, grace. If a stranger came to the camp, they saw its beauty and came to be saved. It was a place of refuge for them. When they did come in, they kept the rules of the house (of God) exactly the same as a seed had to. Egypt was a place of refuge for the Hebrews initially (Goshen).

Deut. 26:13

So a working definition of grace could be said to be brought into a protected place.

Unmerited favor is more of a Greek conceptual image, meaning something we don’t necessarily deserve.

Channah used in relation to those who would camp near the Tabernacle/Gods presence Num. 1:52; the ones seeking refuge.

Camping near to those we find beautiful.

This is not a new thing

God provides instruction for those He favors and we are protected through Yeshua/Jesus, so if we want to camp near God for His protection, and have Him consider us beautiful enough to protect; then we must receive His Grace, and that through Messiah.

Grace also has a space/time element to it, where we are to enter in to the place of protection however, it has an expiration date!

Just as in the days of Noah, there was a time for them to enter the ark of grace all but Noah and his family chose not to. And once the door closed their space time opportunity also closed, and there was not way back from their decision. The time to enter in is when the beauty of grace is still in operation making the narrow WAY available for whosoever will.

Chet, vav, nun = a pardon – when one enters a place of grace, it’s because we are being pardoned of an offense against the Lord or His children. If you don’t conform you will not be able to stay just as in Eden.

(they were put outside the camp).

It also has to do with the remnant of 8 with Noah in the ark/box, they received grace.

The door or the physical representation.

Open the door for the family to come indraw all men unto me –

into grace;

into the camp. Matt 24:37.

The place of grace is available for all today, just as prior to the flood; we enter the place of grace, (which at this time is with the family of believers who are the faithful remnant,) through the Word of God, the narrow gate or door. (Dalet, 4th Hebrew letter, that also represents the tribe of Judah and Messiah.) He said I am the …. Door and also He is the Word made flesh.

Those who don’t come in through the Gate/Door is a thief and a robber.

No one can come to the Father without coming into the camp into grace into Jesus/Yeshua and grace comes through and by Jesus/Yeshua.

So far we have seen that Eden was a protected place,

a camp of safety within the chen/grace

of God’s presence where

shalom-peace

and

nuwach-rest

were in a

compassionate

racham-womb

of

life-chaim

noon with no ra!

……..

So Who Was Eating Bread On Day Six and WHY? What’s the connection?

The Hebrew word for man is Adam

And he was created on the sixth day so the day of man was day six.

1 Corinthians 15:21,22

Luke 22:19, 39 – 46

Genesis 3:19

Jesus/Yeshua was also called the Son of Man.

Luke tells us the grace of God was on Jesus/Yeshua as a child, now we see that was not simple unmerited favor but this

Grace-chen also means

to fence, or protect life.

chet-fence

noon-life action.

Here an interesting correlation is that

Garden – gan – גָּן

Strong’s Hebrew: 1588. גָּן (gan)
an enclosure, garden

gimmel/gimel-noon/nun

gimmel – camel, lift up

nun/noon – life, seed

means:

To lift up life,

let it grow and flourish!!

And are there any other links to this connection?

If we examine the last days of Jesus/Yeshua, we can see that day six was the day that the crucifixion took place.

We need to remember the Hebrew Day begins at dusk on what is the evening of the same day to everyone else.

It was not a Jewish invention but God’s design from the beginning. Genesis the evening and the morning was the first day. The evening and the morning, evening always comes first, for God, darkness always gives way to the light.

The sixth day began at sundown, Sunset on our Thursday night before the crucifixion.

On the day Adam fell from grace, chen, he was basically told, you shall eat bread until you return to the ground. (Have to grow it provide for yourself.)

Adam was destined to work for his food/ bread in order to live and would do so until he died.

This was part of the curse from their disobedient behavior and resulting sin. It brought forth death, so in the curse, bread is linked to death!

All the more reason for Jesus/Yeshua to say.. I am the bread of life.

The sixth day began at sundown with the start of the Last Supper which was not a coincidence, it was an Appointed Time of the Lord – since Moses day.

This (Passover/Pesach – Last Supper)

had to take place on the day of Adam,

in fulfillment of God’s prophetic Plan which centers around His Annual cyclical Appointed Times.

It was the feast of bread, and more particularly the feast of unleavened bread. Leaven represented sin in the Bible.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/sonset-sunrise-sunset-sonrise-apocalypse-of-the-tamid/

This bread had no sin in it.

Remembering the first Adam was told you shall eat bread  – his bread was a result of sin.

Jesus/Yeshua was without sin.

And again said

I am the bread of life.

Sin has death.

Without sin there is only LIFE.

Jesus/Yeshua was also called the Last Adam. So as this sixth night began,

the start of the Hebrew day,

Messiah ate bread right in the face of death. Knowing He was about to die, due to sins out-working and its requirement.

The wages of sin is death.

When He lifted up the bread at the Last Supper Meal, He was doing it to join it to His death as in the curse of Adam when the bread was joined to death.

Jesus/Yeshua died on the day of creation because it was necessary in order to become a new creation and become the first born from the dead.

Furthermore He said

I am the bread of life

not the bread of death!

This is My body, broken for you take eat and remember.

He had said: I am the bread of heaven who ever eats of Me will not die. This is the curse destroyed… He broke the curse with His broken body… He said it is broken for you.

The passover zeroah

זְרוֹעַ (zeroah)

the pesach sacrifice.

The mystery emblem was always present until He was revealed.

גָּלָה gâlâh, gaw-law’

We examined this in a previous post.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/tag/zeroah/

In the original language there was a secret hidden in the translation; within the question, to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

MI HE’EMIN LISHMU’ATEINU UZERO’A HASHEM AL-MI NIGLATAH?

It is in the word revealed.

In Hebrews this word is NIGLATAH.

It means to be taken captive, what it is saying is,

the Arm of the Lord will be taken captive.

The zeroah will be niglatah!

However here is a deeper connection.

It also means to be put to shame, disGRACEd grace removed (the safety fence, the womb of protection within the place of His presence.)

Which allowed Jesus/Yeshua to become niglatahtaken prisoner, put to shame, disGRACEd

Only by being DISgraceD could the process be completed!

Later after the meal, He went in Gan Shemanim

Gethsemane (Matt. 26:36–46).

Gethsemane is derived from two Hebrew words:

גת – gat/gath, which means “a place for pressing oil (or wine)” and  שָׁמְנָא- shemen/shemanim, from the root שמן (smn) which means “oils.”

Strong’s Hebrew: 1588. גָּן (gan) — an enclosure, garden

Here in another Gan/Garden

the Garden of Gethsemane,

the Son of Man

the Last Adam,

Toiled – in Prayer

Sweated – drops of blood.

Ground – where they fell

By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19

Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.Genesis 3:17

Weep = da-ma

– דָּמַע – (daw-mah’)

water coming out of the door of the eye

or

blood of the eye….

Strong’s Hebrew: 1830. דָּמַע (dama) — to weep

Sweated – drops of blood.

Dalet, mem = blood

Ayin = eye

Blood – dam – the door of water

Dalet – door (path )

Mem – water (liquid)

In Adam the dam is the path/door of water; here as a life giverthe first blood

and Jesus/Yeshua as the Last Adam

gave the dam-blood

as a

pathdoor of life (eternal)

restoring the

First Adams – loss of life

incurred by the

fall from grace

and ending up in ra.

Jesus/Yeshua pathWAY takes us

away from ra and to

the place of peace

as

the Sar Shalom,

He is the prophetic fulfillment that:

someone will come and destroy the one who is causing all the chaos and confusion!

Because Shalompeace, only comes:

 when the authority connected with chaos and confusion is destroyed.

Gives another insight to the water and blood from His side

and the fact that Eve

came out of

the First Adam’s

SIDE

whom God 

BUILT

 Eve was created by God by taking her from the rib of Adam, to be Adam’s companion. Genesis 2:18–24

Young’s Literal Translation Genesis 2:22
And Jehovah God
buildeth
up the rib which He hath taken out of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man;

וַיִּבֶן֩ way·yi·en
Strong’s Hebrew 1129
וַיִּבֶן֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהִ֧ים
from man, built/fashioned/made he a woman,

to be His Bride.

His SIDE was pierced and out of HIS SIDE flowed Water and Blood!

No coincidence!

Was this revelation some of what He was trying to communicate to Nicodemus??? 

The Last Adam shed His blood

for the bride 

kalah  כַּלָה   (kal-law’)

also spelled challa/challah

Strong’s Hebrew: 3618. כַּלָּה (kallah) 

From kalal; a bride (as if perfect); hence, a son’s wife — bride, daughter-in-law, spouse.

kaf/kaph, lamed, hey.

kaf/kaph = open palm, wing, cover

lamed = to protect, yoke

hey, H or Ah= look behold

meaning: all complete, covered, projected, joined/yoked, as if perfect; (which is what Messiah wants for us, His bride kalah  כַּלָה.) 

The Last Adam shed His blood

for the BRIDE 

to be cleansed

to enter in

through the door (dalet I am the door)

of water

the pathWAY back to Eden

to the Garden of Grace and Shalom.

Adam or A-dam means first blood 

BLOOD =

DALET-door

MEM-water

(he was the first of mankind) 

Alef: ox strong first

Blood: dalet mem

Man – mankind – being human: this word literally means red man from the concept of blood/dam; therefore red/adam.

Adam is also related to earth or ground

a da mah

out of which he was taken.

The ancient form of this word is:

yud/yod – alef, dalet, mem

arm, ox, door, water.

(Right to left in Hebrew)

To help avoid confusion:

All three were part of Adam’s curse which started in a garden.

Eden, where it all began and at the conclusion of the earthly life of the Son of Man,

He was also in a garden on the night of (Adams day) day six.

What happened to Adam on day six?

Because of the fall from Grace, he was removed from that place, the garden of God to a place outside that garden.

Outside of the place of grace,

he was no longer within and under grace… he was outside of the protected enclosure and instead was in the place of the curse which eventually resulted in his death.

God drove out the man

he was forcibly removed.

So too, Messiah, the Son of Man/ Last Adam was forcibly removed from the garden and taken to a place where the curse of Adam –death – would fall on him.

Gal.3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.

And He was taken to Golgotha the place of the skull and taken to His death.

All this began on the night of Adam, the six day, the day of man; so that the children of Adam could be redeemed from the curse and saved from toil of their lives by the Last Adam.

He became the

DOOR

of

The WAY BACK

into the presence of God (Eden)

back into the blessing

leaving the curse behind.

Back into the place of his presence

under His grace chen,

enclosure

place of presence

of

Mercy seat

where the blood of His sacrifice

has paid the price for sin.

The law of sin and death is conquered and we are again under Grace as it was in the Beginning Genesis/Eden.

This extends our understanding of no longer being under the penalty of the law..

it is referring to the law of sin and death

(for the soul that sins it shall die)

the penalty has been paid.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death.

And we are under GRACE;

this is the age/time of grace,

and we have been restored to that

place of grace

from which mankind fell.

The sixth day violation,

which began in a garden called Eden and ended in a curse;

has been reversed on the sixth day

in a garden called Gethsemane and ended in a blessing!

Mankind, (Adamkind), is now restored to that state of grace

in which we began.

Chen/Grace is the spiritual enclosure

He has provided for us

where we will remain until

the day He returns

and eventually creates a new heaven and a new.

This is redemption in action.

Come to me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Matt. 11:28

Rest – navah – comes from the life that is secure

Noon: life

Vav: hook nail secure

Hey: what comes from

Meaning:

What comes from secure life!

Also

The Rest of God – the shevat/shabath to Cease, desist, rest

שָׁבַת

shaw-bath’

(Recall Hebrew letters v and b are interchangeable.)

The 7th day recorded in Genesis was the day God rested from all the work He had done.

(The word rest, means something different to us, it’s like taking a break and putting our feet up before continuing activities.)

The word in Hebrew translated as rested is SHEVAT or shabath and it is a primary root meaning to cease.

שָׁבַת

Shin/sheen, bet/vet, tav.

To cease, stop completely.

He had finished His work it was complete.

So on the seventh day He ceased, SHEVAT because of this event this rest, this SHEVAT, comes the word Shabbat and from this we get our word Sabbath.

So the Sabbath is the Sabbath because God ceased/ SHEVAT. He rested and all its’ blessings come from the act of the SHEVAT of God. However because of the fall from grace, the peace, the shalom of the Sabbath rest and all the blessings connected with that rest/ SHEVAT were gone from the creation and from our lives.

So a new Sabbath was needed. However only God can bring the Sabbath and a Sabbath can only come when God ceases/ SHEVAT.(When He rests)

So for Him to bring a new Sabbath He would have to cease, and the timing of it would have to be linked to the 7th day…….

On a Friday afternoon 1,000’s of years later, on the end of the 6th day, the Day of Man,

this time it was not the week of creation but the week of redemption

and as it was in Genesis/beresheet the 6th day was the day of completion of all God’s creative work.

So also the work of the cross was completed and on the cross came SHEVAT of GodHe ceased and He said

it is finished.

It is complete, He ceased from His work and from His life. As it was in Genesis, God ceased/SHEVAT and then came the Sabbath

now there is a new Sabbath and a new Shalom,

not of this world but greater than this world and there for all who will enter in..

How do we enter in?

By ceasing, by SHEVAT,

by ceasing to strive and struggle, by ceasing from laboring, ceasing from our self, our own works… we are to enter His rest, His Shabbat and by doing so, we will experience His Shalom in the place of His Grace.

 

What we have seen in the paleo pictographs is that Grace and Eden and Shalom have much in common with each other

and with the redemption-salvation

that is gained through Grace.

It, the grace,

is to give us access

BACK into Eden

the place/state of grace

(including the paleo meanings would be something like this:)

Restored back into the future of an enclosed garden of God, where His presence is manifested and there is no sin only shalom and rest.

The mercy seat is there, typified both in the Eden layout and in the wilderness camp, tabernacle/mishkan and later in the temple floor plan.

The cherubim guarding

the way to the tree of life

were both at Edens entrance and on the veil/curtain separating the Ark of God’s presence as He manifested upon the Mercy seat/Kapporet.

In an enclosed womb like shape where eternal life was accessed by the High Priest.

Remember: The tabernacle (mishkan mish-kawn’ מִשְׁכָּן), first mentioned in the Torah in Exodus 25, was the portable sanctuary that the Israelites carried with them in the wilderness.

Mishkan comes from the Hebrew root meaning “to dwell”; the tabernacle was considered to be the earthly dwelling place of God.

The portion of the tabernacle and the Temple building in front of the Holy of Holies which contained the inner altar, the table for the showbread, and the menorah.

They lived in a state of continual grace and shalom.

He had produced life in them and then put a fence or wall of protection around that life so that it may not be destroyed or removed.

This way back has been opened by our High Priest,

the curtain rent,

the cherubim parted and

access to the throne/presence of God

on the kapporet

is available once again

as the mercy seat

is covered in Messiahs blood

and we are redeemed.

His trial in the garden, fulfilled all the criteria for Gods plan of the ages.

This is the grace that has saved us

the same grace that they lived in in Genesis, is the grace we are to live in now..

as He said to Paul, it is sufficient..

it’s chen/grace

the place where

God provides protection and provision for life a camp a graceful place of healing strength salvation and rescue!

It’s the Shalom

(remember the definition of shalom)

HIS shalom, the same that was in the grace, the placeeden, the place,

the garden of God, that He gave to us,

Eden, to see the judge of life;

and we must do that to be saved;

a judge is the door to life.

Judge offers justice and redemption. Eden is a place, where you open the door and enter the pathway that leads to life.

It also includes Mercy; clemency; pardon mercy, the womb…racham

is The house that surrounds life.

In the Garden of Olives He crushed the head of the serpent and the tree of everlasting life was once again made available through Jesus/Yeshua.

The Garden of Eden was meant to be a place of continual life.

Chaim both physical and spiritual…

(recall IM as plural – lives.)

First Adam – Last Adam

each in a garden one

began in one and ended in one .

It was outside the camp.. but Jesus/Yeshua is the DOOR the WAY into GRACE restored. Eden restored where we enter His REST 

 which is now secured as that Shalom – peace, which only comes when the authority connected with chaos and confusion is destroyed, which is has been by the Sar Shalom, the Prince of Peace.

Eden restored, regained, by eating of Him who is NOT forbidden fruit

and we enter into HIS rest.

We enter into a racham/womb of Shalom where nothing is missing or broken and no good thing is withheld.

Yes it seems Eden is the place of grace/rest and shalom and both Adams are there, in the garden of God, waiting for us to join them in His presence passing by the cherubim and right up to the tree of life, and it seems we are indeed

going back to the future past...

Full circle….

Eat of ME and LIVE forever!

It was the Son of Man –

the Last Adam

who was eating bread

on the 6th day.

In a WAY, He is not only the Last Adam but He is also Eden the DOOR/Dalet to eternal Life.

Hakarat Hatov, recognizing and appreciating the good, is the foundation of Hebrew thinking and a lifestyle in understanding how we are to walk ‘the way’ of Messiah Jesus. We are believers in and followers of Jesus/Yashua Messiach ‘ha-De-rekh’ (‘the Way’) the Messianic Messiah.

Righteousness is showing forth the goodness of Elohim by acts of loving kindness. Showing mutual respect, trust and love. Expressing truth, love, faith, praise and harmony. Most important are Faith, love, trust and humility and praising Him for that which we witness today declaring always that His glory illuminates the entire world.

Grace was the physical expression of, and provision for, humanity.

His love is unconditional and came down from the heavens

the grace stooping towards us

the stronger coming to the help of the weaker who stands in need of help either by reason of their circumstances or natural weakness.

Being lost and fallen from grace definitely qualifies us!

Our love that goes up is our worship;

love that extends outward is affection but the love that bends and stoops down..that is GRACE.

Shalom ‘Mishpachah’ ‘Family’.

SONset – sunrise – sunset– SONrise – Apocalypse of the Tamid.

The Hebrew word for sunrise is זְרִיחָה, (zuree-chah), which comes from the simple verb לִזְרוֹחַ meaning:

to shine or to rise, when referring to the sun.

The Hebrew word for sunset is הַשְּׁקִיעָה(shash-kee yah), literally, the setting.

Sunset is termed שְׁקִיעַת הַחַמַּה – the setting of the sun.

  שקיעה is the noun form of the verb לִשְׁקוֹעַ, meaning to sink, or to settle in a low place.

Strong’s Hebrew: 1121. בֵּן (ben) — son

Strong’s Hebrew: 1247. בַּר (bar) — son – 

Strong’s Hebrew: 8121. שָׁ֫מֶשׁ (shemesh) — sun

Strong’s Hebrew: 2224. זָרַח (zarach) — to rise, come forth

Strong’s Hebrew: 6942. קָדַשׁ (qadash) — to be set apart or consecrated

Nisan or Nissan, נִיסָן – ni’-san, (nican), in Hebrew has a meaning of renewal – a beginning. Today, new year begins in January but in the Bible, in Torah, it was not that way.

Nisan is the 7th month in the Hebrew Civil calendar and the 1st month in the Torah – spiritual Calendar.

The sign of Nissan is a Lamb.

Strong’s #07716 – Lamb – Seh –  שֶׂה – SHIN – HEY – BEHOLD GOD.

In the shamayim/heavens, the sign of the Lamb of God is the heavenly constellation of stars called Aries. Passover was the sign of the Lamb of God in Egypt.

The ram provided to Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah in Israel was the prophetic sign of God providing the future sacrifice for sin and for reconciliation of relationship through Jesus’s/Yeshua’s death on the cross as Redeemer.

Lambs graze in a flock, faithfully following the shepherd.

Being a follower is sometimes a mature choice, not a passive failure. The Israelites made the choice to follow God.

When God created the world, His plan was that we choose to know Him.

The month of Nisan is the 1st month of the spiritual year and in Hebrew, Spring called AVIV.

אביב AVIV, derived from the word abīb, actually translates as the season of SPRING. From the Hebrew word ābhībh literally, ear of grain also meaning an ear, or a time of year where grains come into ear, commonly known as Aviv, (or Nisan, the 1st month of the Hebrew calendar). (Notably seen in Place Names in Israel e.g. Tel Aviv).

After the Babylonian exile, the new name for Abib/Aviv, was Nisan/Nissan. Although this name is technically of Babylonian origin, the Aramaic word Nissan is related to the Hebrew word, nitzan, (נִצָּן) meaning bud. In Song of Songs, King Solomon’s epic poem in which he depicts the love that bonds us to God, redemption is symbolically referred to as “the time that the buds were seen in our land,” which means that the earth gave birth to a people who would soon blossom or flower.

Another derivation is from the word nissim (נִסִּים) meaning miracles, and by definition is the month of miracles. Both of these suggest freshness and renewal physical and spiritual resurrection in our lives.

In Aviv, אביב the first month is NISAN and the 1st Feast/Appointed Time of the Lord is…

Pesach – Passover – פֶּסַח – Pesah, Pesakh.

It is a paradox because although it’s the genesis of the year and the Appointed time of New Beginnings; it is also the time of the end of Messiah’s life, (earthly); and it is also the beginning – genesis – beresheet – בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית – of life (eternal).

The beginningberesheet – genesis

of the end, ends with the beginning with no end.

It all began – genesis – beresheet – in a garden..גַּן, we know as Eden..עֵדֶן

גַּן עֵדֶן, Gan ʿEḏen 

 Here in Gan Eden, God formed ha’adam the first אדם adam.

The Hebrew word for earth is adama.

The Hebrew word for man derived from Hebrew אדם  adam meaning “to be red“, referring to the ruddy color of human skin, or from Akkadian adamu meaning “to make”

The Garden of Eden was the 1st of 3 specific and important Gardens, the beginning of the end was in a garden

..and the end of the beginning also began in a garden.

in the 3rd and last garden (tomb), was Messiah, the last adam. 

The first man, Adam, became a living person, and the last Adam (Christ in the flesh) became a spirit that gives life.1 Cor. 15:45

Our Father planted the very first garden. He is THE Gardener/Vinedresser/Husbandman. John 15:1; I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

Strong’s Hebrew. 3755. karam

עברית  vinedresser  וינדרסר

Vinedresser is just one way to translate the Greek word used by Jesus (Yeshua). It can also mean Gardener, Farmer, and Husbandman (KJV). It is a generic word for someone who tends plants.

Jer.33:15;  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Is 53:2; He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and He is called “the Branch of the Lord“. Is.11:1; Heb.12:24; Zech. 3:8, “I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH, and 6:12; Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH.
A Branch, or the Branches of a tree, are the glory of a tree. Messiah, the Son of man, being the real offspring and son of David according to the flesh, is the glory of all David’s race, and of the whole church of God in general. Matthew 22:45.

My Father is the Husbandman, not simply the ἀμπελουργός, or vinedresser, but also γεωργός, the owner of the land as well.

Jesus is the Word /Yeshua is Torah. He is the Tree of Life/Etz Chaim to all who take hold of Him and eat of Him. The tree of Life in gan Eden whose fruit would give eternal life.

but there is one Biblical place in particular which takes its name from another garden. that of GAT SHMANIM

This was the garden of Gethsemane – Gatshmanim

Gethsemane, Greek: Γεθσημανή, Gethsemane; Hebrew: Gat Shmanim;

שמניםגת

ים= IM = Yod and (final) Mem.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mysteries-of-im/
https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mysteries-of-im-part-2/ 

Strong’s Hebrew: 2132. זַ֫יִת (zayith) — olive tree, olive

Below looking up the Kidron Valley towards Gethsemane, Jerusalem is to the left.

Gethsemane is changed into English from two Hebrew words: GAT and SHMANIM. It means ‘the place where olive oil is pressed‘.

A further insight into the Hebrew words GAT and SHMANIM, reveals GAT, as a Hebrew word by itself (Hebrew: גת – gimel, tav), which means a winepress.

SHMANIMשמנים –  means oils, and is the plural IM – ים, of the singular Hebrew word שֶׁמֶן SHEMEN, for oil.

A literal translation of GAT SHMANIM would be winepress of oils.

 However, it refers to a pressing-method far more violent than the crushing of grapes underfoot.

This is one Biblical place in particular that takes its name from GAT SHMANIM

olive – zayit – זית – zah’yeet

Also the symbol of peace, light and longevity together with the dove (יוֹנָה – yona) which brought Noah an olive leaf after the flood, (Genesis 8:11). 
Some olive trees have been known to live for more than 2,000 years, maybe even there when Jesus/ Yeshua walked among them.

Pictured below is a replica of a first-century olive press (בֵּית בַּד beit bahd) in modern day Israel.

The stone weights suspended from the beam likely exert more than 1 ton (2,204 lbs/907 Kilos) of pressure on the olives.

Each one requires multiple people to move.

The shemen gat – meaning: the winepress (gat), of oil (shemen.)

Where His suffering began.

It is located on a slope of the Mount of Olives just across the Kidron Valley from Jerusalem.

photo above 1890-1900

Here He surrendered His will. In the face of the approaching will of the Father.

Isaiah 53:10-12

The Lord was pleased to bruise him; he has put him to grief [or: caused his pain]; when he makes himself an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, he shall prolong his days; the pleasure [picking up on the first line] of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

The Father was pleased to bruise the Son for our iniquities, and the Son was pleased to be bruised by the Father’s will. As we heard on Monday, Jesus had a choice. He chose to have the iniquity of us all laid on Him.

The arrest was the beginning –

the genesis – beresheet – בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית

– of the end…of the beginning.

Leviticus 8:10–12; Luke 22:39–44.

The garden was not a garden in our western understanding. It was an olive grove, a place where the olives from the trees that grew there, were made into oil.

Jews would extract this oil by placing sacks of freshly-picked olives underneath a massive, wooden beam which they would pull down using heavy stone weights to crush both olives and their pits with tremendous force.

It was the place of the oil press. The word for oil in Hebrew is Shemen.

The word for Press in Hebrew is GAT. Oil press is a gat shemen, or a gatshmanim.

The olives would be placed on top of the Big Stone and a large ‘wheel like’ stone would roll over them, crushing them.

The crushing of the olives would cause them to release their oil.

So the meaning of Gethsemane is the oil press.

There is a secret in the meaning connected to Yeshua, as the word Messiah is linked to oil, gat;

to Olive oil, to shemen, and it’s no coincidence it is the place where the suffering began – because it was the place of crushing. The olive press, is the place where His crushing began.

First the crushing of His will and then the crushing of His life.

Oil is also linked to healing and joy.

The SON of Righteousness

(and here is BEN the ‘other SUN’..)

1 Yeshua Ben Joseph and

2 Yeshua Ben David

Risen with healing in His wings.

And to anointing oil which is the most sacred holy (set apart) use. Oil was poured over those set apart ones who were to be prophets priests and kings. This oil in its highest form of symbolism signifies the Holy Spirit being poured out.

The hidden mystery of the gospel was and is now revealed, the crushing of Messiah in the oil press of Gethsemane would be and is linked to joy and healing in the anointing and outpouring of the Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh.

In His deathS (Maveth מָוֶת), is Life/liveS (CHAIM)

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mystery-of-in-his-deaths/

It began with the oil of the olives crushed in the press, so every desire and ambition not of God, must be surrendered and crushed.

And in the crushing, the set apart, (Holy/ Kodesh), ones will be filled, anointed with oil and released by the Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh to fulfil His Will, Plans and Purposes.

Strong’s Hebrew: 6944. קֹ֫דֶשׁ (qodesh) — apartness, sacredness

Kodashim (Hebrew: קדשים ‎, “Holy Things)

As the disciples slept in the garden,

Jesus/Yeshua poured out His soul to His Father, in agony. Luke writes, 

Hematidrosis is the incredibly rare medical phenomenon, where extreme stress causes a person’s skin to release blood in sweat; few humans have ever experienced the levels of stress needed to cause it.

Yet as Jesus/Yeshua prayed,

“My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may Your will be done,” 

the unthinkable pressure of the weight of all our sins crushed Messiah,

pressing out His life and blood like olive oil flowing from a press.

GAT SHMANIM could not have been more aptly named!

As the heavy weights hung from the wooden beam of an ancient olive press crushed olives underneath,

the weight of our sins crushed Jesus/Yeshua as He hung upon the wooden beams of the cross.

Jesus/Yeshua’s Blood was poured out for us like olive oil, as

 He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. – Isaiah 53:5-6

Yet His blood is worth far more than oil; it is our Salvation,

our hope,

and our light!

Messiah,  מָשִׁיחַ = Christ = anointed one = Mashiach, Mah-she-AKH = anointed one.

So the Messiah = the anointed one, just as Christ does. Greek = christos.

Jesus comes from Yeshua. Jesus Christ is Yeshua ha Mashiach or Jesus the Messiah = Jesus the anointed. Anointed = oil. With olive oil.

The apocalypse (revealing) of the mystery of the TAMID – תָּמִיד – taw-meed’

Messiah is the lamb but not only that for He is also our TAMID.

The eastern side of the temple faced the Garden of Gethsemane

it was also the side closest to the location of the altar of sacrifice.

It is sobering to note that every time Yeshua/Jesus was upon the Mt. of Olives in the Garden at Gethsemane He was looking directly at the altar of sacrifice.

Ex. 29:38–39; Mark 15:25–37; Rev. 7:9–17;

the Torah called for two lambs…

Offer one in the morning and the other twilight.

This is called the law of the TAMID. 

The Tamid was the name for the morning and evening sacrifice,

the first (Alef) and last (Tav)

that began and ended a series of daily sacrifices for the various sins and offerings of the people.

The Chamber of Lambs Once it has been established that the proper time has come for offering the tamid daily sacrifice, and the gates of the Sanctuary are open, the overseer instructs the priests who will be attending to the service: “Bring a lamb from the Chamber of Lambs!”

The halves of the Tamid were two lambs.

The 1st was offered in the morning at the third hour of the day.

With its death, the temple trumpets would sound and the temple gates were opened.

This was at 9am (the exact time Yeshua/Jesus was crucified and the cross lifted up)

and the 2nd at 3pm (the time Yeshua/Jesus died).

The beginning and end of every day in the Israelite community was marked by the reference to the tamid offering. In other words, at the outset of both the day at sunrise and sunset at night, their thoughts were directed upon God, which in fact was focused on the coming Messiah.

The daytime was divided into 12 seasonal hours, but the day division of hours was focused on the schedule of the Tamid sacrifice.

In the first century AD the night was divided into 4 night watches of 3 hours each:

(1) from sundown to 9PM;

(2) from 9PM to 12 midnight;

(3) from 12 midnight to 3AM; and

(4) from 3AM to dawn.

Tamid תָּמִיד (taw-meed’) Strongs 8548 means: continuity, continual, daily, perpetual, always, all times, forever.

He is our answer every day and forever. Our covering always and for eternity.

Just as the unblemished Tamid lamb was the standing sacrifice presented continually on the altar of sacrifice in the Jerusalem Temple, Messiah Yeshua/Jesus is the unblemished Lamb standing before the throne of God in the Temple of the heavens/shamayim.

Just as a lamb’s blood flows at the base of the altar, so too did Messiahs blood flow to the base of the cross.

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 an atonement for the soul (Leviticus 17:11).

Hebrews 10:4 teaches that the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sins.

The very fact that the Bible says the blood of bulls and goats cannot save is solid evidence that Messiah’s blood is 100% required, important and essential for our redemption.

His death alone is insufficient to save anyone. The blood had to be shed and applied to the mercy seat/ kapporet in the Heavens, just as it was required by the High Priest/Kohen HaGadol, in the Old Testament tabernacle/mishkan.

 After He died and a Roman soldier thrust a spear through Yeshua/Jesus’ side, piercing both the lungs and the heart, blood and water came from His side just as John recorded in his Gospel (John 19:34).

The spear that was thrust into His side, likely under His ribs,

could have ruptured the pericardial sack,

resulting in a flow of both blood and water.

This to fulfill scripture that of His identification with and healing for the brokenhearted. Also: Sin is passed on through the blood, that is why we say Adam passed the sin on to all.

1Jn 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot….

He reveals to Nicodemus about a spiritual birth and gives an explanation for being born of water, referring to his need for spiritual cleansing. From then on it is possible to be born again in order to enter the kingdom of God. (John 19)

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. v. 7-8 KJV

The TAMID Sacrifice

From the Genesis in Gan Eden, later confirmed with the covenant at Sinai; Elohim set apart (made holy), a people who would be a picture for the world, and He taught them that sin could only be redeemed with the shedding of innocent blood.

The WAY to cleanse the wrong choices of those created in His image and likeness yet, a little lower than the angels.
This began the (prophetic) ritual of the Tamid,
a lamb for the first and last sacrifice of each day.

The Priests drew lots (PURIM), for various official duties, such as slaying the Tamid, sprinkling its blood, and cleansing the altar and the candlestick; the announcement of the time of slaying the morning sacrifice; the bringing of the sacrificial lamb,

(which was given to drink from a golden cup before it was killed;) and taking it to the place of sacrifice. 

This together with the statement, in conformity with

Ezek. 34:2, that no man ever passed through the postern on the southern side of the large door; how the opening of this great portal was heard as far as Jericho, as was the sound of the trumpets and other music of the Temple.

Then at the ninth hour, the evening sacrifice would be offered on the altar; at which time all the sacrifices would finish, the day complete.

At that point there were NO more sacrifices.

Morning lamb -9 AM, the third hour.

The same time Messiah was crucified.

So as the morning lamb was slain on the altar in the temple Messiah the lamb of God was lifted on the altar of the cross.

The trumpets sounded to announce the sacrifice and the temple gates were opened.

The evening lamb was killed at 9, our 3 PM, this is when He died.

His sacrifice began with the a.m. offering of the morning lamb. And ended with the p.m. offering of the evening lamb.

This was the point at which the WAY was RE-opened to God. And all took place during six hours of the temple sacrifices. RE-storation and RE-demption completed.

“But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.”  Hebrews 10:12

The Son of the Father, Creator of the morning sunrise and evening sunset
began a six-hour journey
In between the two lambs, in between the 2 suns for the 2 Sons, from the first to the last; the lamb of God was the ultimate sacrifice. And because His sacrifice was perfect, it was all in all, every sin and every offering was covered by His Blood.

He’s the one who died for many – the sacrifice for all. Nothing more is needed.

He is the TAMID the Son/sun,(shemesh), of Righteousness that Malachi 4:2 prophesied of the coming Messiah. 

He is connected to the sunset and sunrise of that Passover day in the order of evening and morning, of sunset,

when He was to sheqi’ah, sink, or to settle in a low place (the grave).

Then to the sunrise, when on the first day of the week, that resurrection dawning of the Sun,

He rose from the dead and (zarach/ come forth), as the morning came and the sunrise (to shine or to rise). The Son of God arose and shone.

Even from before the genesis in gan eden, the Tamid had a name. He was there at creation, for nothing was made without Him and when the plan was set in motion, He knew what His part would be…. Yeshua HaMashiach/Jesus the Messiah, the anointed one,

is our Tamid

Mount of Olives at sunset.

Mount of Olives at sunrise.

From the Genesis/beginning, He revealed/apocalypse, the end/Revelation. For He is the Alef and the Tav – From Gan Eden to Gatshmanim/Gethsemane and to His rising from the GARDEN tomb with the sunrise – זְרִיחָה to shine or to rise,

זָרַח (zarach) — to rise, come forth

From long ago He told us things that had not yet happened, saying in essence, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.” And history will come full circle at the end of time to reveal Him and His Glory in the universe.

He has released upon us the Ruach Ha Kodesh for setting us apart and anointing us with His oil of gladness.

for HE did provide a Lamb

Hebrew phrase is literally translated as:

“lamb of THE God”.

שה האלוהים

The message for us is this, the only WAY to get into the garden is by going to the garden tomb first. We cannot get to the tomb until you have first gone to the cross by Way of gethsemane’s garden where we willingly give up/surrender our life/chaim. By dying to the old life, and crucifying the flesh life, by losing it and counting our old life as dead and gone.

This is the WAY to the garden of God and all it’s blessings. It’s the WAY/derek of the cross and always leads to life. (Chaim – lives, plural). The paradox and contradiction that death leads to life/chaim is summed up once again, in the fact that life, death and then life, were in the gardens and all had special trees, the end is the beginning, the Genesis, the garden, gan Eden; And here the mystery of the 3 gardens is revealed in Yeshua our Tanim, for He is the WAY of the Lamb, the truth and the CHAIM/ lifes.

Now we have a deeper understanding, this year let’s remember our Tamid at the coming Pesach and allow the fullness of the Son/sunshine to dawn and shine His resurrection glory,

on us,

in us

and through us,

as we celebrate..

Messiah our Tamid is RISEN indeed.

Shalom shalom!

To all mmm Mishpachah – משפחה – Mish-pa-KHa – Family

Have a zisn (Zeesen) Pesach = (Have) a sweet Pesach

a koshern Pesach = (Have) a kosher Pesach

a freylakhn Pesach = (Have) a happy Pesach

To say Happy Passover in Hebrew you literally say holiday passover happy

chag pesach sameach    חג פסח שמח 

(pronounced) KHAG PAY-sock sah-MEY-akh

Chag = festival (holidays) and is pronounced KHAHG. It’s similar to the English word cog, with the same breathy, raspy sound described below as used for the ch.
Happy = sah-MEY-akh.” Use a hard “k” sound with a raspy quality from the back of the throat. Don’t use an English “ch” sound use raspy kh sound also for PAY-sock in Pesach/Passover.

Keruvim? Not Quite Like We Imagined?

What has a flaming sword at a garden gate, a golden box, keruvim, a lion, an ox, and an eagle to do with mazzaroth, the Tribes, two visions, the mishkan and Yeshua/Jesus?

Investigating more mysteries that connect from Genesis to Revelation.

 Keruvim כְּרוּבִים

CHERUBIM

Angels but not what we thought!

Hebrew: keruvim   כְּרוּב‎ kərūv, pl. כְּרוּבִים, kərūvîm;

Latin cherub, pl. cherubin, cherubim;

Depiction of the cherubim of glory shadowing the Mercy-seat (χερουβιμ δόξης κατασκιάζοντα τὸ ἱλαστήριον) of Hebrews 9:5 (Julius Bate 1773).

In Hebraic angelic hierarchy, cherubim have the second-lowest rank according to Maimonides Mishneh Torah (12th century).

Cherubim are discussed within the Midrash literature. The two cherubim placed by the Father at the entrance of Eden (Gen. 3:24) Angels were created on the third day, and therefore they had no definite shape; appearing either as men or women, or as spirits or angelic beings (Genesis Rabbah xxi., end). The cherubim were the first objects created in the universe. (Tanna debe Eliyahu R., i. beginning).

The Cherubim angels are occasionally confused with the Seraphim rank of angels, as there are many kinds of angels; the highest being the Seraph, next the Cherub.

They are actually different categories of beings. Cherubim have four wings and do not look human, (seraphim, have six wings and also do not look human). The Bible also refers to Angels as men, since that is exactly what they look like and they do not have wings or halos, (nothing in the Bible has a halo). Angels, as their name denotes, are messengers. If a being is not delivering a message, does not look like a human male and has wings then it is not an Angel.

For one example, see Genesis 18:2 three men and 19:1 which identifies two of them as Angels. (Many scholars say that the other was pre-incarnate Yeshua/Jesus).

The Cherubim, similar to the word Seraphim, is plural. The word Cherubim refers to more than one Cherub angel.

Cherubim are said to be about 18ft (5.4864 Meters) tall have four faces:

one of a lion (representative of all wild animals , one an ox (domestic animals), one a human (humanity), and one an eagle (birds).

They have four conjoined wings covered with eyes, a lion’s body figure, and they have ox’s feet.

Cherubim guard the way to the tree of life in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24).

and also to the throne of God (Ezekiel 28:14-16).

Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end: you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. Ex. 25:19

“And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even in the outer court, like the voice of the Almighty God when He speaks.” Ezekiel 10:5

A Cherub is a supernatural being referenced throughout both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. Like the Seraphim, the Cherubim were originally a Judaic rank of angels, and they eventually were incorporated into Christian scripture, appearing in numerous books including the Book of Revelation. Other notable examples of them in literature are in John Milton’s 17th century epic poem, Paradise Lost.

Cherubim are first mentioned in connection with the expulsion from Eden in Genesis 3:24 here there is no information given of their shape or form.

The Cherubim and flaming sword were to keep Adam and Eve from eating of the tree of life while in an unregenerate state; or mankind would have been forever separated from the love and blessings of the Father.

They are next mentioned when Moses was commanded to provide furniture for the tabernacle Ex. 25:17-20; 26:1,31.

God promised to commune with Moses from between the cherubim. 25:22

They represent the mercy of God, which is always above the testimony.

Exodus 25:22, “And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.”

2 Samuel 6:2, “And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.”

Numbers 7:89, “And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims; and he spake unto him.”

The Cherubim are not just allegories.  They are actual beings in heaven guarding the way to the Mercy Seat.

This expression was afterwards used to denote the Divine abode and presence. Num. 7:89; 1Sam. 4:4;  Is 37:16; Ps. 80:1; 99:1.

In Ezekiel’s vision they appear as living creatures supporting the throne of God. From Ezekiel’s description of them 1:5-10;41:18-19 they appear to have been compound figures each one having 4 different faces, the face of a man, lion, ox, and eagle.

Unlike any real object in nature, possessing the features and properties of several animals.

The closest word we have to describe them is chimera; an animal whose body contains different cell populations derived from different zygotes of the same or different species, occurring spontaneously or produced artificially; i.e. an individual composed of a mixture of genetically different cells.

Man- This face spoke of mind, reason, affections, and all the things that encompass a human being.

Lion- The lion was always recognized as strong, fierce, and majestic. It was the most royal of all animals.

Pro 30:30 A lion, which is mighty among beasts and does not turn away from any;

Pro 20:2 The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion; whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

Ox- The Ox was recognized as the animal who patiently labored for his owner. He was strong, able to bear a burden, and knew its owner.

Pro 14:4 Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; but much increase comes by the strength of an ox.

Ps 144:14 That our oxen may be well-laden; that there be no breaking in or going out; that there be no outcry in our streets.

Is 1:3 The ox knows its owner and the donkey its master’s crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not consider.”

Eagle- The divine bird that flew above the storms, while below there was only sorrows, dangers, and distress. A swift bird strong and powerful, never becoming weary.

Pro 30:18-19 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a virgin.

Is 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Ps. 103:5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Ex. 19:4 `You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

Ezek. 17:3 “and say, `Thus says the Lord GOD: “A great eagle with large wings and long pinions, full of feathers of various colors, came to Lebanon and took from the cedar the highest branch.

Hos. 8:1 “Set the trumpet to your mouth! He shall come like an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed My covenant and rebelled against My law.

King David probably knew about God’s chariots/cherubim, as apparently he a rode in one of them.  This is recorded in two accounts in scripture, 2 Samuel 22: 7-22 and Psalms 18:6-17. 

A record of a divine deliverance, when he was trapped between Mount Carmel jutting out into sea and the Mediterranean ocean as he was cornered by the army of Saul. 

Two cherubim were placed on the mercy seat of the ark and two of COLOSSAL size overshadowed it in Solomons Temple.

“In the inner shrine he [Solomon] carved two cherubim of wild olive wood, each ten cubits high . . . and he overlaid the cherubim with gold.” (1 Kings 6:23-28) “The cherubim, whose wings were spread over the place of the Ark , formed a canopy above the Ark and its poles.” (1 Kings 8:7)

The illustration below depicts Solomons Temple and the Kohen Gadol (High Priest.) On the day of Yom Kippur ( Day of Atonement); he was presenting incense before God, a few steps away from the Ark of the Covenant which was resting between the outstretched wings of the towering figures of the two Cherubim. This was the only day of the year the Kohen Gadol ever entered the Kodesh haKodashim (Holy of Holies). He is shown wearing a simple linen garment specially made for the day. 

The main hall of the Temple which is reported to be 20 cubits wide (9 meters or 27 feet) and 30 cubits high (13.5 meters or 40 feet).  The Holy of Holies, with the Ark of the Covenant and the two giant Cherubs in it, is described as a cube 20 x 20 x 20 cubits. 2 Chron 3:13; they stood on their feet and faced inwards their wings spanned 20 cubits overall.

Converting the measurement of the biblical cubit as approximately 18 inches, the cherubim were 15 feet tall and the wing measurement from the tip of one wing to the other was also 15 feet. 

Together, the two cherubim covered a span of 30 feet in the Holy of Holiest in the Temple of Solomon.  

Ezekiel 1:4-14 speaks of 4 and also this number, 4, of living creatures is mentioned in Rev. 4:6.

Those on the ark are called the cherubim of glory. Hebrews 9:5;

Hebrews 9:1-5  Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. 2 For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. 3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; 4 Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; 5 And over it the cherubim of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. (KJV)

These cherubim of Glory were the appearance of the Glory of the Lord.

That is the Shechinah, or cloud of glory, for on them the visible glory of God rested. They were placed one at each end of the mercy seat, with wings stretched upward, and their faces toward each other and toward the mercy-seat. They were anointed with holy oil, like the ark itself and the other sacred furniture.

The cherubim were symbolical.

They were intended to represent spiritual existences in immediate contact with The Father. Some have regarded them as symbolical of the chief ruling power by which God carries on His operations in providence. (Ps.18:10). Others interpret them as having reference to the redemption of men, and as symbolizing the great rulers or ministers of the church.

Their office was: first, on the expulsion from Eden, to prevent all access to the tree of life;

and second to form the throne

and the chariot of God in His manifestation of Himself on Earth.

He dwelleth between and sitteth on the cherubim (1 Sam 4:4; Ps. 80:1; Ezek.1:26,28).

The 2 cherubim were on the mercy-seat with wings outstretched.

Ex 25:18-20 “And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. “Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat. “And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.”

They represent the judgment of God.

Their position indicates that God’s judgment upon Israel was averted because of the blood-sprinkled mercy seat.

John also in Revelation sees a vision of the cherubim:

Rev. 4:6-8 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle.

The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

Though artistic interpretation can be fairly relaxed when it comes to the Seraphim, it is also extremely varied in regard to the Cherubim.

The original Jewish depictions of them are thought to resemble an angelic or mythical being similar to that of a griffin, possessing a lion’s body, and an eagle’s wings and head.

In Christianity however, the Cherubim are often portrayed in artistic iconography as a four winged creature with more than one head, usually that of man, lion, eagle, and ox. Some of the gothic interpretations can be quite fearful in appearance.

During the Renaissance a tremendous amount of confusion arose over the attributes and characteristics of the Cherubim, when on numerous occasions they were confused with putti angels, winged children who are generally depicted holding small golden trumpets.

In Western Christian tradition, cherubim have become associated with the putto (derived from classical Cupid/Eros), resulting in depictions of cherubim as small, plump, winged boys.

So the scripture shows that a Cherub is a mighty and fearsome winged beast and guardian of Eden, not the image of an innocent childlike being. The confusion is still widespread even in this day and age, and we can blame the Renaissance artists for it. So now when we call a small child a little cherub we may want to change the adjective for something else!

In chapter 1 Ezekiel the prophet designates them as living creatures (chayyoth); the chart above shows the difference between the cherubim described in Ezekiel, with the one that John gives in the book of Revelation.

Do they appear the same on earth as in Heaven??

This is a possible explanation for the differences.

The wings being raised would cover the view of the other faces. Due to Heaven existing in another dimension parallel to ours, it makes sense that they would probably appear differently there.

Time is cyclical. Time as we know it exists only in this earthly dimension.

When we recognize the fact that God has more dimensions of space and time than just the 4 dimensions we tend to think in, it makes it easier to understand how God is able to be omnipresent and that this plural God is singular.

We tend to look at life in 3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time because of the way we have been educated.

Time, that for us, seems to travel forward and is linear.

God however, is not limited to 1 dimension of time or He would not be 1 God who is omnipresent. The chart below on the left depicts 2 dimensions of time; one of length and one of height. If time has just 2 dimensions, then within every moment of time there is an infinite amount of time. Paper, for example, is only 2 dimensional, and so we can only show 2 dimensions at once.

In the diagram above pictured on the right, simulated are 3 dimensions of time in which it implies that time has depth as well. If God is above time, at this point He can not only see the past, the present, and the future consecutively but He can also influence and interact with them all simultaneously. This is why He can say His Name is I AM (not I WAS or I WILL BE); and why He is the same yesterday today and forever. Heb.13:8

When John saw Messiah in Heaven for example, He appeared as a lamb that was slain, with 7 eyes and 7 horns.

Seven is the number of perfection and horns represent power. In the same way eyes are how we perceive things, so they represent wisdom. This is picturing Messiah with perfect power and perfect wisdom. In Ezekiel, the cherubim are depicted with 4 wings and 4 faces.

The number four is the signature of the Earth, depicting our four seasons and 4 corners giving us 4 directions; East, West, North, and South.

Ezekiel 41:18 And it (the paneling of the holy place of the temple) was made with cherubs …and two faces were to a cherub, the face of a man, toward the palm tree from here, and a young lion’s face toward the palm tree from there. It was made to continue all around on the wall of the temple.

The Keruvim/Cherubim are the connection to the flaming sword at a garden gate, a golden box (ark of the covenant/mercy seat), a lion, an ox, an eagle and the two visions of Ezekiel and John. However the conclusion to the mystery with mazzaroth, the Tribes, and Yeshua/Jesus is coming in part 2.

The Scriptures tell us that angels watch over us make sure that you are saved and that they can be of optimum assistance in your life

For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven Matt. 18:10 

“Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Ex. 23:20
