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 beginning – beresheet – 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;

שמנים‎ גת

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.

SHMANIM – שמנים‎ –  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.

Please Do Not leave this page without the surety in your heart that you have Messiah our Tamid in your life and heart as the days draw ever closer to the end of the age..

NOT CERTAIN?

YOU CAN BE..

Make sure Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer, Savior, Lord and soon returning King and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

Its all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.

You are greatly loved and very precious in His sight.

He longs to give you the Shalom He paid the ultimate price for..

SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute, SAY IT RIGHT NOW…

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

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

The Mysteries of IM – Part 2

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Meaning Of Elohim In Hebrew.

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

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

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

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

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

Elohay ha Elohim – God of gods.

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

דבר־יהוה

A brief look at some of many other EEMS..

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

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

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

MoedIM – appointed times (or feasts) of the Lord.

 Nevi im prophets

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

מִּשְׁפָּטִים Mishpatim

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

pronounced as iy-VRiy

means Israeli man

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

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

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

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

Beyond the end of ChaIM, the natural life…

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

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

Talmidim   תלמידם

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

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

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

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

Strong’s Hebrew: 3742. כְּרוּב (kerub)

k’-ru-VEEM כְּרוּבִים

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

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

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

plural שְׂרָפִים seraphim …

Strong’s Hebrew 8314

Angels – Malakim

Strong’s Hebrew: 4397. מַלְאָך (malak) — a messenger

מלאכים – mal’akhim – messengers

Angel of the lord – 

Archangel

One of the 12 tribes of Israel..

in biblical times comprised the people of Israel.

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

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

SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING, MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute, SAY IT RIGHT NOW…

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

I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.

The Mysteries of IM


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

https://www.minimannamoments.com/21-12-21-12-12-12-12-12-12/
Click link above for that post. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Egyptian hieroglyph for M

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

https://www.minimannamoments.com/what-does-the-mysterious-roy-g-biv-reveal-about-ahavah/

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

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

Link below for more on Mem and Rechem the hidden place.
https://www.minimannamoments.com/mystery-of-rechem-the-secret-of-living-like-royalty/

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

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

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

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

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

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

Panim: faces of gold, facets and attributes.

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

Here are the 4 main nouns:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Click link below for relevant post: 
 https://www.minimannamoments.com/nail-i-am/
As everything is connected…links to pertinent posts are included throughout. 

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

  https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-rules-of-pardes/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because 10

Because.. We Are Enveloped

Definition of ENVELOPED is: any wrapper or covering container, a natural covering, (as by a fluid).

Enveloped…

By His Protecting Angels;

By good things by love by the warmth of the sun.

The Scriptures show us many times where the Lord envelopes us and wraps His loving arms around us

or covers us with His feathers and hands Ps.91:4

He envelopes us in His love, His protection, His care, His Grace, His Mercy, His loving kindness.

We are in His embrace and covered in the precious blood of His Son.

Enveloped.

Eph. 4:30 says we are sealed with the promise unto the Day of redemption.

This gives a clear picture of what we use today to send a message in the mail, putting our trust in the post office to take that envelope safely to its destination.

Father has enveloped us so if we think about it, we could see ourselves in a spiritual envelope. We are enveloped and enveloped by the Holy Fire of His Presence.

Enveloped, spoken with different emphasis and inflection on the same word.

The Water of the Word stops our spiritual bones drying up and moistens the flap on the envelope.

Then we are sealed by the blood of His Re-newed covenant .

Even today wax seals are used to secure, authorize, identify very important papers, legal documents, covenants or agreements.

The scrolls of the pre-printing press era were held closed by such wax seals and with a string or ribbon of material.

The scarlet thread that runs through the scripture alludes to the blood of Yeshuas sacrifice and the seal of our redemption.

The wax was heated until it became malleable and while it was still soft, each piece of wax placed over the edges of the document was impressed by the sign of the authority by which it was sealed.

The use of signet rings gave the required authority to execute their will, and carry out their wishes and was always readily available; being worn on the hand of the one needing to authenticate the document or envelope.

Next time we see a sealed envelope need to see ourselves inside, sending a living letter, (2Cor.3:2), of love to our Heavenly Father. The scripture says we are living epistles and then mentally mail it;

Par Avion/ Air mail, of course, addressed FAO (for the attention of), Father in Heaven, Avinu HaShamayim, and no need for senders return address!

It could be a thank you letter for His Sacrifice and for saving our souls, for forgiving us and for all the promises contained in His Instructions for life. End the letter with the hope of seeing Him very soon and tell Him we are looking forward to His planned return.

Then seal it with a loving kiss, (SWALK used to be written on the back of love-letters); knowing that the kiss of our worship, is in spirit and truth. Then stamp it trusting with faith from our hearts. 

Because we are enveloped in His presence and His love and nothing… no not

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, LORD. They rejoice in your name all day long; they celebrate your righteousness. 

The Psalmist has just been setting forth, in sublime language, the glories of the divine character-God’s strength, His universal sway, the justice and judgment which are the foundation of His Throne, the mercy and truth which go as heralds before His face.

Jude 24:25 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Psalms 42:12  mah-tishtochachiy naphshiy umah-tehemiy `âlây hochiyliy lê’lohiymkiy-`odh ‘odhennu yeshu`oth pânay vê’lohây 

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

 Because even the dogs/goyim/heathen get the crumbs from the Masters table  – a few interesting tidbits…

Following on from the seal and signet rings,

On November 29, 2018,news broke out of Jerusalem that a 2,000-year-old copper ring  ring had been discovered at Herod the Great’s eponymous mountain fortress of Herodium, just 3 miles southeast of Bethlehem.

Two facts about the simple copper-alloy piece of jewelry were reason for worldwide headlines. First, the ring was discovered at Herodium … in 1969! The ring was actually unearthed during an excavation led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor Gideon Foerster during the 1968–1969 season.

However, only recently did a thorough cleaning and advances in photographic technology allow for the second interesting fact about this ring to be exposed: It bears the Greek inscription ΠΙΛΑΤΟ (PILATO)—the name of Pontius Pilate! Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who conducted the trial and ordered the crucifixion of Jesus.

The ring bearing the name of Pontius Pilate was discovered in the late 1960s, one of thousands of artifacts found in the excavation of Herodium, an ancient fortress and palace south of Bethlehem, in the West Bank.

The name PONTIUS PILATUS appears in Latin on the “Pilate Stone,” which was discovered in reuse in Ceasarea. The Roman governor describes himself as [PRAEF]ECTUS IUDA[EA]E, or “Prefect of Judea.” Here, Pilate, who commissioned the inscription to honor his imperial benefactor, the emperor Tiberius, refers to himself in the Latin nominative (subject) case: PILATUS.

Views and cross section of the ring discovered at Herodium

A photograph of the ring clearly shows the inscription of a ‘krater’ – a vessel used to water down wine.

The ring discovered at Herodium is inscribed in Greek. And while Pilate minted several coins in Greek, he never placed his name on his coins, opting yet again to honor his benefactor, Tiberius, with the Greek inscription ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟΥ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΟϹ (Tiberiou Kaisaros; “of Tiberius Caesar”).

Here, Pilate inscribes Tiberius’s name using the Greek genitive, or possessive case, to indicate that the coin was minted during the rule and under the authority of the emperor Tiberius. However, on the so-called Pilate Ring discovered at the Herodium, we find ΠΙΛΑΤΟ(PILATO).

The question is why?

Under what circumstance would Pilate (or anyone else for that matter) inscribe a ring with the name PILATO? One solution offered by Cate Bonesho, University of California, Los Angeles, Assistant Professor in Early Judaism, is that ΠΙΛΑΤΟ may be a Greek transliteration of the Latin dative form of the name Pilatus.

View of the area where the ring bearing Pontius Pilate’s name was found.

The dative form in both Greek and Latin is used as an indirect object, for example, to indicate to whom an object is being sent. If this is the case, then the thin and inexpensively-made ring may have been worn not by Pilate himself, but by someone working for Pilate, who may have collected goods for the governor on behalf of Rome in the region south of Jerusalem and sent those goods to Pilate.

Pilate used Herod the Great’s former palaces as his own residences in both Caesarea and Jerusalem, so there’s reason to believe that Herod’s palace at Herodium may have been used as a Roman administrative center. Archaeological reports indicate that Pilate repaired the Herodium water system and that Herodium continued to be active during his rule.

The Herodion, above, was the winter palace of the biblical King Herod, is located on a cone-like hill that still today juts out prominently in the barren landscape of the Judean Desert, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.

Part of the imposing fortress and mausoleum was used by the Roman officials that governed ancient Judea, according to Haaretz, making a link with Pontius Pilate possible.

It is entirely possible that the Pilate Ring unearthed at Herodium in 1969 and “discovered” this past year was not worn by the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate at all. Rather, it may very well have been worn by a regional administrator collecting taxes for the Romans, who simply stamped items and document seals bound for Pilate—PILATO. As the authors of the official excavation report state, “It is therefore unlikely that Pontius Pilatus, the powerful and rich prefect of Judaea, would have worn a thin, all copper-alloy sealing ring.”

It is possible, however, that some administrator pushing papyrus for Pilate would have worn a ring like this at a southern administrative center. This explanation is more probable because it better fits all of the evidence, and is further confirmation of what we already know from the Pilate stone, hundreds of coins, Josephus, and the Bible itself—there really was a Roman governor in Judea at the time of Messiah named Pilate.

Postcard from 1900 depicts Pontius Pilate presenting Jesus Christ to a hostile crowd shortly before his crucifixion.

The ring is just the latest fascinating biblical-era discovery in Israel. In February, archaeologists announced the discovery of a clay seal mark that may bear the signature of the biblical Prophet Isaiah.

More fascinating news that has connections to Israel:

with the news of the red heifer being born and the Israel being in the news due to this and the heralding of the 3rd temple being built and the dedication of the Altar with representatives of 70 nations present.

Postulation – food for thought – could the proposed sacrifice of the 1st red heifer since the temple was destroyed in 70AD be the abomination that causes desolation? Yeshua said when you see this happen in the Holy place (Mark 13:14)…..
This would be like a slap in God’s face, because Jesus/Yeshua, was the fulfillment of the red heifer sacrifice; and starting it again would indicate that those performing it, do not understand or recognize there is no more need for sacrifice for Jesus/Yeshua was and is Messiah.
But where these have been forgiven no further offering for sin is required. Heb. 10:18
All of the many, many blood sacrifices seen throughout the Old Testament were foreshadowing the true, once-for-all-time sacrifice to come so that the Israelites would never forget that, without the blood, there is no forgiveness.)
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth. Deliberately trample under foot Christ’s will; apostasize from the faith in life. There remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. We have, in that case, rejected Christ, the only sacrifice for sin.

While researching the heifer these pictures were found curious to say the least.. The story behind the pictures is that on 20th sept 2014

the black and white cow named Ben (meaning in Hebrew is Son) was born a few days before the Shemitah year began on a farm in Pennsylvania USA.

This cow was announced on the TV news on 25th Sept 2014 which happened to be the Feast of Trumpets that year! In Gatesville Texas, a rancher happened to see Ben on the report and he too had a cow with a seven on its head.

When he checked the date of its birth in his records it showed the cow was born on 25th sept 2015.

Three other cows were found with 7’s on their heads. From 1937, 1947 and 2006.

Trumpets 2014 was 14 days prior to the 2nd blood moon and the October 8th feast of Tabernacles. Recent calculations in 2018 discovered that from this blood moon it’s 1260 days to the 20 March spring Equinox 2018. Two 7 cows (7+7) counts to the blood moon date and then 1260 days to the Equinox.

Hmmmm!

This cannot be just a coincidence can it?

and amazingly after searching additional cows were found one born in April 2011 the other very close to it making them 7 years from spring 2018. Apparently 2 more cows born in 2005 and 2006 that have number of days counting to 4000 and 4444 to corresponding significant dates.

One of the cows even had a tag of 490 (7×70).

The cow born in 1947 the year Israel began at the United Nations.

1937 is one year prior to the Holocaust which was over 7 lunar years.

There is no doubt more connections but to date these are all that have been found. The cows below the one with 35 (7×5) in its coat.

In this timeline is one place you could genuinely say Holy Cow!

 

The final link is to a video which is worth the few minutes it takes to watch. Music has changed so much over the millennia and those gifted with composition of notes and combining them to produce such harmony and beauty serves only for us to give glory to the one who created both sound and man and the giver of such creative gifts.

Take a mmmoment and not only listen but watch the literal orchestration and timing of those involved.

Notice the teamwork and flow of their cooperation to produce such a harmonious and coordinated performance.

Some thoughts from watching are in the form of a question. If people from all age groups and different backgrounds having a single focus based on mutual love of music can together produce such a perfect symphony; why is it seemingly so difficult for Christians to unite and operate in a similar harmony towards a common goal?

This video can be summed up in one word Unity and as the title is Ode to Joy, there’s no doubt that this is Father’s heart.

That they all may be one as I am in you that we all grow up into the unity of the faith.

There are no denomination signs over the Pearls, just the names of the children and sent ones!

As the crowd is drawn in with an invisible yet irresistible magnetism, notice the young boy removing his headphones in order to listen to the live music in front of him.

Ephesians 4:11-13 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

and that we can learn to flow together and..

That these composers knew God goes without saying.

Note the word singing remove the g and it reads sining! When we add the G of Grace and the G of God it becomes the singing of His praises and the glory of His presence. Another angle on Bach’s famous composition, Air on a G string! Nothing is happenstance or coincidence.

The JOY of the lord is our STRENGTH. Neh.8:10 Ps.28:7

Be Strong – Chazak

The word kiss, is used several times in the song and has the meaning of worship, (do or pay homage.)

Kiss the son. (Adds a new meaning to those who kiss the trophies representative of their victories!)

As the crowd spontaneously joins in, singing in German, provided below are the lyrics in English.

O Friends, not these tones!
Rather let us strike up
Ones more pleasant and joyful.
Joy! Joy!
Joy, beautiful sparking of divinity,
Elysian daughter
We walk drunk with fire,
O Heavenly one, in your sanctuary!
Your magic puts back together
What Custom sternly broke a part;
All people become brothers,
Where your gentle wing tarries.
Whoever has accomplished the great feat,
Of being a friend to a friend;
Whoever has won a fair wife,
Ante up your jubilation!

 

Yes, including he who calls
Even just one soul on this earth his!
And whoever can’t say the same,
Must steal away crying from this gathering!
All of creation drinks Joy
From Nature’s breasts;
All the good people, and the evil
Follow her trail of roses.
She gave us kisses and vines,
A friend, tried and true1; (I believe the vine is the “friend” being referred to here, not Joy and has the connection to our being grafted in to the true vine.)
Even the worm was given delight,
And the Cherub stands before God.

Brothers, run along your path2
Mirthfully, like his heavenly objects fly
Through the magnificent layout of the sky
Joyfully, like a hero to victory. 
Be embraced, you millions!
This kiss to the whole world!
Brothers, above the starry firmament
A dear father must live.
Do you bow low, millions?
Do you sense the Creator, World?
Search for him over the starry firmament!
He must live above the stars.
Be embraced, you millions!
This kiss to the whole world!
Brothers, above the starry firmament
A dear father must live.
Be embraced,
This kiss for the whole world!
Joy, beautiful sparking of divinity
Elysian daughter,
Joy, beautiful sparking of divinity, sparking of divinity.
