Thinking Outside The Box On The Lighter Side Of Life?

God is LIGHT.

1 John1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at all.

The first time we hear the word LIGHT is in Genesis 1:3.

In Hebrew the word Light is:

Or  – אוֹר.

(Familiar to us too, as part of the English word orb meaning a ball of light.)

For most of us, Light is a thing. Some scientists regard LIGHT as having zero mass, (no physical substance), however one of the other basic meanings for light is lamp: a device [noun] that sheds light.

The word LIGHT is a singular, common noun and can be concrete or abstract, depending on use; for example: Concrete: Turn off the light before you go to bed.

Some origins of the word Light:

Old English lēoht, līht (noun and adjective), līhtan (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch licht and German Licht, from an Indo-European root shared by Greek: leukos- white and Latin: lux – light.

 Light in physics, is visible electromagnetic radiation. The most well known and dramatic example is the Northern and Southern Lights the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.

The human eye can typically detect radiation (light) in the wavelength range of about 400 to 750 nanometers. Nearby shorter and longer wavelength ranges, although not visible, are commonly called ultraviolet and infrared light.

A definition of Light: something that makes things visible or affords illumination:

All colors depend on light.

The interesting thing about the Hebrew word for LIGHT – Or, is that it is a verb, meaning, it is an action word.

It is a word that does something and it is also a prime root, meaning:

to be, or become light.

In our thinking, Light is an element that aids sight, or a time of day, or describes a color tone, which is very different.

Phonetic Spelling: (ore)

Pronounced OAR

’ō·wr

Sometimes also written AR and AWR

As we are discovering everything is connected, so this is a follow on to the posts on Shofar and Jubilee Yovel/Yobel and the Keys of Light; because there is a further amazing connection between them all.

First, let’s look at Light, with reference to the ancient Paleo Hebrew Texts and their pictograph letters.

Genesis 1:3.

Vayomer Elokim yehi-or vayehi-or.

God said, Let there be light, and there was light.

let there – yehi/ yhi – יְהִ֣י – the letters Yod+Hey+Yod

Light Be – (yehi) – or. אוֹר – the letters Alef+Waw/Vav+Resh/Reysh

This was an action.

The first use of the Hebrew language is in Genesis in the creation account:

yehi or – Light Be!

Which can also be written:

yehiy or,

meaning:

light exist.

God also gave Hebrew names to the

sky (shamayim),

land (erets),

sun (shemesh),

moon (yerey’ach),

stars (kokhaviym)

and man (adam).

When God formed Adam he apparently gave him this spoken language and communicated with him (Genesis 1.28). The man also used this same language to give names to all of the birds (oph),

animals (behemah),

beasts (hayahsadeh)

and woman (iyshah).

Since God is the originator of the Hebrew language, He is also the originator of the alphabet. Over time all alphabets evolve. Therefore, it is possible for the writing system of Noah’s day to display changes from the alephbet given to Adam.

In the ancient Hebrew Paleo Pictograph language, the word light is very close to the Ancient Hebrew word for box. It would certainly have given us something to question if the people who translated the original text had put it in the word box instead of light! Genesis 1:3 would have read, Let there be box and box was!

However, there is a very interesting relationship between the two words.

The word LIGHT in Genesis 1:3 is translated as AWR (OR) and is pronounced oar.

There are several different spellings for the same word so they are included here so we don’t get confused and think it is a different word with a different meaning.

(OHR – OR – ORE – AR – AWR – OWR).

Remember to read from right to left in the pictograph below. Alef Waw Resh

So as not to be confused, note that the letters W, WAW is also known as = VAV for V

And the letter R for Resh also known as Reysh.

Numerical value of the letters:

A =1; V/W= 6; R=200.

The 3 pictographs are:

Resh/Reysh – Waw/Vav – Alef

Aleph – pronounced as AH or EH. Picture of the ox head, meaning: strength and power, yoked to.

Waw or vav – pronounced as W, O or U. Picture of the nail or hook, meaning: to add something, or secure a thing.

And Resh or Reysh pronounced as R. Picture of is the head of a person, meaning: Headship, chief, first.

The parent root word, (which means, where the basic meaning is found;) comes from AR.

AR in its basic definition is the verb meaning: ORDER, to order, to gather, to organize.

A further definition is shown by what is called the concrete noun, meaning the object or thing, and this is the word BOX. A BOX can be thought of as a kind of tool or helper, an aid; something that is used for organizing or creating order.

AR – Alef Resh

The A -Alef is a picture of an Ox, which in the west is more commonly called a cow.

The Alef speaks of the action to lead, leading, to be led by, to be put in the front.

The actual, or concrete meaning, is an Ox – one of a team yoked together. One of the two yoked oxen would be experienced, in order to help the other less experienced one. So the weaker would learn from the stronger by following.

(Note here of the meaning behind Jesus/Yeshua saying, that His Yoke was easy.

Why?

Because He is the more experienced of the 2 in the yoke. The 2 in the yoke being us and Him, as we are yoked together with Him in covenant. He also gives us the command: Follow Me. He leads us, as in Ps.23.)

Lastly the abstract concept in the Alef is one of strength.

The second letter R Resh/Reysh is a picture of a persons head and speaks first of the action, the doing, to start, to begin. As well as concrete images, giving us an understanding of a top, or a summit, like that of a mountain; and also that of a human being as being the top, or highest, of all of Gods’ creation.

So from this we learn that R/resh, represents the concept of top, or source, strength from above and being led from above, from the top.

Returning to the image of boxes, with this meaning, order and organization would appear to have something to do with: being led from the top and strength from above.

In the middle East millennia ago, the idea of Boxes/containers, would have not been uncommon to a people whose nomadic lifestyle necessitated continually packing up and moving. No doubt they had something in which to place and carry their possessions.

When we move from one place to another, we too are familiar with boxes.

Placing items into containers is a natural action and we usually place items down into a box from above.

In Hebrew thought, it could be described as a strong action and also as having strength to function; whereas viewing an unorganized, disarrayed pile of items spread around everywhere, (not in a box), and not collected; could be weak when considered in comparison, and lacking the strength of order and organization.

Boxes in this ancient Hebraic thinking are examples of strength from above.

Next, looking at the Hebrew word AWR for light, the root coming from AR, in this word there is a letter W in the middle. This letter is a WAW or a VAV. It is a letter that is added in between the A and R. It is called an infix.

The Pictograph for the letter WAW or VAV is a nail, which gives the visual meaning of binding, or attaching, as in an action like adding a tent peg.

It also has an abstract concept of adding to, or, increase and is used as the connecting or conjunction word: AND.

When the letter WAW or VAV is added to words, it appears to give a greater emphasis to its’ meaning.

In this case it indicates that it is taking a single event of carefully placing items in order into a box and is turning it into a broader conceptual meaning; that of getting everything in order, as in overall organization and light.

Without light in a room, it would be almost impossible to get everything in order. To see what we are doing, we need light. To organize items, whether in a kitchen, garage or office, we also need containers or boxes because things get mixed up and chaotic without order.

With the addition of the letter waw/vav, the nail, we are given a word with an adjusted meaning of:

order that is more enduring in its existence, it is longer lasting and is attached to everything

and this is referring to

LIGHT – AWR/OR.

In Hebrew thought, Light has strength from above, having the same properties as the pictographs show for the box.

However, this strength is enduring and affects everything.

The thing that unites these is the common theme of ORDER that comes out of disorder, confusion and chaos.

The place we started was at Genesis/Beresheet/Beginning, where Darkness (hashak) was on the face of the deep before the account of the creation events.

There was a lot of organizing in the sequence recorded here. God came and it is stated that the waters were separated/organized; darkness and light were separated/organized;

sea and land were separated/organized and given boundaries.

Animals, fish, birds, etc., were told to multiply within their own kind; they were separated and organized into species, like being placed into a kind of box. None of this could take place without LIGHT. The scripture says God is LIGHT and He also spoke and said LIGHT BE and there was LIGHT.

LIGHT was the medium of transference, the WAY in which He caused ORDER to come forth from Himself, (as He IS LIGHT); and to in turn bring order out of Chaos in the creation of the earth. In a similar way we organize things in our thinking and then put it into practice by organizing, ordering and putting the things around us that we need in our lives. We invariably put things in boxes or one sort or another.

In John 8:12, He promises we shall have the LIGHT of life; this may be a reference to the order of our new born again life experience coming out of the chaos of our lost state. He came that we might have life (chaim/lifes) and He said He was the LIGHT and LIFE of men, so He was; in exactly the WAY that the Father sent order and LIGHT to humanity. When we follow Him, our walk will not be a walk of confusion and chaos but as we walk in the LIGHT as He is, we will have a walk of organized order, which is a reflection of our Heavenly Father and His Creation.      

In previous posts we looked at the Shofar and the Hebrew word had a vav in it, as do other words we have looked at. In the same way some English words have different spellings (e.g. U.S. and U.K. use an s or a z in the word realise/realize) and in word endings like yesterdays or holidays, just an s is added to make a plural ending. There is also the plural ending of ies, for words like daisy into daisies. So variations are not uncommon.

Why is this important?

Because in the Hebrew language there is more of a reasoning and meaning by adding the letter vav/waw to a word.

And this will help us to see the connection between Light, Yovel, Shofar, Jubilee and Box.

The LIGHT of Gods’ throne/presence, rested on the mercy seat /kapporet between the cherubim/keruvim on the covering /lid of the ARK/BOX of the covenant.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/are-we-boxed-in/

This same LIGHTOR, that was present at creation was the same Word that was also there.

The Hebrew word for ARK, ARON, has the same root letter AR as the word for a vessel/container, as does the vessel Noah built, both by Gods’ design for construction.

This was also an ARK of that covenant promise and would have looked more like a BOX than a boat shape that we think of today.

So A and R, Alef and Resh/Reysh,

are the root letters of both

BOX – ARON and LIGHT- AWR.

Recall that in the Ancient Hebrew mind, LIGHT is seen as ORDER, as without light we would be lost in the chaos of darkness.

So we see the Hebrew word for light is אור (or) and is derived from the parent root אר (ar). The word derived from this parent root is the word: ארון – aron, pronounced a-rone: formed by adding the ון to the end of the root letters A&R.

This word means a box and is also related to order, in the sense that items are placed within boxes as a way of bringing about some kind of order.

The Ark of the Covenant was a BOX that was used to place important items within it, including: the stone tablets with the 10 sayings inscribed on them, Aaron’s staff was in there and the pot of Manna, this was done by placing down into it from above, kept them in order.

Jesus/Yeshua, is not only the Word but also our ARK we get into Him for our salvation.

He was there at the beginning – Beresheet -Genesis – בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית

Colossians 1:16-17  “For by him [Jesus] all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. John 1:10

Jesus/Yeshua is the light that was there at the beginning.

Jesus/Yeshua is the fulfillment of prophecy and of the Jubilee/Yubel.

All words are made up of alphabet letters, from alef to tav.

Jesus/Yeshua said He was the alef tav.

He is the Word. He is the alefbet.

He is the fulfillment of every prophetic utterance and no word of God returns void. Is. 55:11.

That is the whole essence and reason for prophecy; it is the spoken Word. When we declare His Word, His power is in those words and must also be contained in the individual letters that make up the word; especially in the Hebrew and Aramaic language.

God always begins with the Word. John1, and the Word was before all things He has always existed. The Word brought forth the creation into existence. From nothingness, came the universe by means of the Word.

He spoke before it existed.

First the Word, then the reality.

This is the essence and order of prophecy, speaking forth the oracles of God.

Before He creates, He sends forth the Word; and so He sent His Word -Jesus/Yeshua. He sent an angel to speak the WORD to Miriam; and then the Word was made flesh. Before creation, He sends forth His word, and Jesus/Yeshua came. Then restoration was created, through His life, death and resurrection.

I am the resurrection and the life –

I am the alef and the tav. (alpha-omega. Gk.) Jesus/Yeshua is all the letters.

Tav tikomah = resurrection in Hebrew. Resurrection is the ultimate restoration, return and the fulfillment of the prophetic Jubilees.

It is our ultimate end and our victory. This is the victory that overcomes.

He is our Jubilee, the resurrection and the life.

As resurrection is supernatural, it’s a reversal of death, just as jubilee is a reversal of loss, resurrection brings back, restores and raises up what was dead, that which was lost. We were dead in sin and similarly Israel was ‘dead’ also, no longer existing as a nation until 1948 when it was reborn, restored and the people returned. Teshuvah = return.

With any birth in the natural, growth occurs into what has not yet been; going from childhood to maturity.

Resurrection is not the same process.

Resurrection does not begin from the beginning, from birth, but from the end; from the conclusion of what we had become and at death, what we once were.

In Resurrection, we become again what we were at the final point.

Example: at His resurrection, Jesus/Yeshua did not become a baby again but was seen as He was before death, however He was changed from glory to glory, better than before.

So resurrection and Jubilee are synonymous. At resurrection we will be restored and return to the father in a final Jubilee/Yubel for all. As the yubel/shofar sounds,

Lev. 25; you shall return – TASHUVU.

The law of Jubilees was commanded in Lev. 25 and had a fulfillment in Israel in 1948.

Jesus/Yeshua is the fulfillment of every prophetic word, of every covenant, becoming the agent of salvation, the agent of yubel/jubilee.

He was the perfect sacrificial lamb of God, the covenant keeper, the Light/awr, that was contained in the box/ark/aron. He is our ark/box as typified in Noah whose ark/aron/box saved His family. We are Messiahs family/משפחה /Mish-pa-KHa; and we are the people who lived in darkness who have seen a great light/or/awr. For He is the Light and His life is the light of men.

Psalm 119:105  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalm 130:5 In His Word I Hope.

As Jesus/Yeshua said when on the earth, He was Light in this world; now we are the Light. So it’s time to let our lights shine.

Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Even if our light seems small … it is enough to disperse and dispel the darkness.

In Hebrew, HhaSHak = darkness.

In Greek:

σκοτίᾳ,   skotia

darkness 

φῶς  phōs

light

The Word is Torah, God’s instruction/teaching.

The word Torah refers to the first five books of the bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy – Torah, the instruction teaching of Moses. Hebrew is read from right to left;
Below are the Hebrew alphabet letters that make up the word TORAH, and each words’ meaning: 

Torah comes from the word orah – light. Every time we see the word Light in the scripture, we could also read it as Torah. This is why His Word is a lamp to our feet and a Light to our pathWAY.

Torah gives teaching and instruction, direction and guidance. So by Thinking Outside The Box On The Lighter Side Of Life; and examining the ancient pictographs, in which it was possibly first written; there is an amazing connection between the letters A&R in the Hebrew words for Yovel/Shofar/Jubilee and Light, Box/Ark.

Jesus/Yeshua is Light, Torah, Lifes/Chaim, the Word, Yovel, Jubilee, Teshuvah, Covenant and Box/Ark, because everything points to Messiah where everything has its alef and tav!

Shalom shalom Mishpachah/ Family.

Don’t leave this page without knowing for absolute certain you are an ark. 

An ARON –

a treasure chest of His Presence!

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

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

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

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.

Sapphire – Ten Sayings – Part 2 – and a Rebel Lion?

Sapphire from a word in the French language, which in turn comes from a Latin word, this comes from a Greek word which originates in an ancient Hebrew word  סַפִּיר  SAPPIR. sap-peer’ Strongs 5601.

The root of the Hebrew word is SAPHAR and it means:

to speak,

to tell,

to declare.

So it would follow that if the tablets were made of sapphire (SAPPIR) they declared the Word of the Lord, the content of His covenant in their meaning –

they spoke, told, and declared.

EX 24:10 work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body

כְּמַעֲשֵׂה֙ לִבְנַ֣ת הַסַּפִּ֔יר וּכְעֶ֥צֶם  הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם .

 

His Word is the most precious stone above any jewel and here every Word of God is a sapphire and a spoken one, declaring His love and commitment to His people. Every Word of His is a priceless treasure, a saphar. The Word is a Jewel – a sapphirYeshua was the Word made flesh.

He is the precious stone beyond all price.

He SPOKE,

and DECLARED the word of Lord,

He came to TELL us the good news of the renewed covenant.

We in turn are sapphires for Him,

speaking, declaring and telling of His love. 

Isaiah 62:3 – Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Zechariah 9:16-17 – And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

One day we will be jewels in His crown.

So much of the, beyond earthly phenomena, concerning the things of the Lord cannot be comprehended by our finite minds. These constructs are outside of our normal thinking.

The tablets were said to contain the whole of the law, which sounds ridiculous and yet, even 50 years ago, no one would have believed, or imagined a computer, that could fit in your pocket, (mobile cell phone). Equipped with massive storage capacity and worldwide access to infinite information at our fingertips!

In a recent article above.  Did these Sapphires come from heaven???

The question to ponder is.. The Word says John 1:3  that nothing was made without Him..

All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made;

..therefore, technology is not superior to God and He must be the originator of it. Think of Elijahs ‘chariot of fire’ and Ezekiel’s wheels within wheels.

The Ancient Of Days, the Glory Of God, appears to the Prophet Ezekiel. He Sees Messiach Yeshua ( Messiah Jesus ), “the likeness of a Man above, upon a throne, which had the likeness of a Sapphire stone“.

This glorious unfolding open vision of God’s extreme glory was revealed to the Prophet, before sending him to the rebellious house of Israel.

There are many instances where biblical events could be understood as possible references to ‘technology’, as we understand and how we would describe it today. These things are not a surprise to God!

Isn’t it interesting that we call the hand-held-portable ones ‘tablets’!

Today technical specialists are working with crystalline materials. Crystals have magnetic properties, which enable them to retain much information. Granite and many other stones have a similar structure. (Magnets and magnetic properties are used in all computers and data storage components, even back to the reel to reel tape and compact cassette.)

Clear crystal and blue sapphire are also among the foundations of the New Jerusalem.

Apparently the first set of tablets that were smashed were kept and placed in a second ark/box and stored beside the main ark of the covenant.

Were the 2nd set also cut from the sapphire throne?

How did he engrave them?

Hammer and chisel?

These were forbidden, so sometime we have to go to the world of legends to find the revelation of truth. 

The sages of the Hebrews puzzled long over the apparent difficulty of building the grandeur of the temple of Solomon without the known building tools of the iron chisel and hammer. Yet the very use of these instruments was forbidden by the Lord of hosts.

“In building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.” 1 Kings 6:7

There is also a reference in the ancient writings to a worm called a Shamir.

This is not the only time that worms are used for God’s purposes.

Click below

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

Another reference to sapphire stone is in Exodus 28:15

Sapphire was one of the precious stones set in the high priest’s “breastplate of judgment”.

So there are several references where sapphire is connected to both rebellion and judgment

Below are some possible options of how the engraving was done in both cases.

Whereas the Talmudic traditions, such as the BT Sotah 48:B, suggest that the gemstones were set in the breastplate while ‘in the fullness’ it appears that the faceting and size of these stones appear to be uniform and equal. 

According to tradition the incredible stone cutting Shamir worm was rediscovered by Solomon who learned of this amazing little worm, no bigger than the grain of barley that could cut through any stone on earth. It was better than the sharpest iron instrument known. 

Solomon learned that Moses also used this ‘worm’ in order to engrave the ten commandments on the stone that Yahweh had entrusted to him. Again according to tradition, since that day, the ‘worm’ was kept in the custody of the demon Ashmedai, the Prince of the Sea, who in turn kept it in the safe custody of the hoopoe bird (or woodcock). 

In the Mishnah Avot 5:6, the Shamir was created on the sixth day of creation and was given to the hoopoe-bird (woodcock) who kept it in her custody throughout the ages in the Garden of Eden.  This marvelous bird would on occasion take this worm and carry it across the earth, carrying it tightly in her beak, letting it down only to create a fissure on a desolate mountain peak so that the seeds of plants and trees could sprout and provide her food.

When the Israelites were camped near Mount Horeb/Sinai, the Lord brought the Shamir and gave it to Bezalel, בְּצַלְאֵל, to engrave the names of the twelve tribes on the twelve stones of the breastplate of the high priest, Aaron.  Then the Lord gave it back to the custody of the hoopoe-bird.  Here she kept it in a leaden box, with fresh barley, wrapped in a woolen cloth.  That is until Solomon needed it to build the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem.  Since that day, the Shamir has been lost.

Of course, most Talmudic arguments were debated during the Roman imperial rule. In Latin, the Shamir was known as smiris corundum, the substance of sapphires and rubies and the hardest known gem next to the diamond.  The substance of legends has a kernel of truth and now we know the ‘rest of the story’. 

The process of engraving by the shamir included a special method of splitting the gemstones open but at the same time not missing any part of the stone. 

Maybe within the hoard of the treasures of Solomon’s temple, we will find evidence of the technological sophistication, such as diamond drills, diamond and corundum bit saws that scholars have long felt did not exist in the 11th century BCE. 

The Ancient Solar Premise is another suggested option:

Archimedes and the burning mirror.

The premise embraces ancient cultures from all over the world. It shows how they all used potent mirrors to turn stone to glass, vaporize metals and win wars.

When this tool is combined with the operation of the world’s iconic pyramids, shrines and stone circles, a paradigm shift is forced. The picture below shows an intense dynamic tube of energy.

The power has been made as high as 15MW/sqm with this method. This easily splits or melts just about any stone.

Is this the fabled ‘Shamir worm’ mentioned in the Old Testament? It is certainly capable of delivering many of the results associated with the Shamir.

For further research, there are photos online of the results of using the devices and videos showing this technology actually in use.

What was the finger of God?

Does He have fingers like us.. as Yeshua/Jesus had?

Could it have been some form of laser? God is not human form or He could not be omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

According to 1 John 1:5; He is Light, Light is energy. He has lightning proceeding from the place of His presence/His throne.

Lightning is plasma energy, electric emanations.

People often say the touch of God’s power to heal and restore feels like a tingling sensation; similar to electricity flowing through the body, and also many times like heat.

Heat is energy… think solar…

Ever touched something and got a shock from it? Static electricity will even make your hair stand on end!

Luke 11:20 says But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you

The finger of God is Ruach HaKodesh.

We are electric beings in an electro-magnetic universe!

How does one restart a heart that has arrested?

We send a strong electric current through it!

Our brains are computers and neurons continually fire across the synapses with electrical current sending information to the rest of the body……

The 1st broken set of tablets is somewhere…. And maybe will be revealed in Gods perfect time, together with the ark of the covenant that was hidden by Josiah.

In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah of Judah ordered the caretakers of the Ark of the Covenant to return it to the temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 35:1-6; cf. 2 Kings 23:21-23).

Tradition says that the Ark was hidden by Josiah (Mishna, Shekal 6:1–2; Talmud: Yoma 52b, 53b–54a; Horayoth 12a).4 Irrespective of this and despite the two preceding accounts regarding Ethiopia and Tannis, the Ark appears again in the biblical narrative when King Josiah ordered the return of the Ark of the Covenant to the temple.  the Ark had to have been hidden between the 18th year of Josiah, (when we are told he had it taken to Solomon’s temple), and 35 years later, when the temple was destroyed; it was NOT taken to Babylon, based on the information from the Scriptures which told what went to Babylon & what was returned).

 It was most likely hidden just prior to the destruction of the temple, when Jerusalem was surrounded by the Babylonian siege wall; and it was hidden somewhere within the confines of the city wall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian siege wall. The entire city AND the temple were destroyed in 586 BC by the Babylonians, so the Ark could have only escaped destruction or captivity by NOT being anywhere in the city.

The destruction of the 1st set was a consequence of rebellious behavior on the part of the people. A lack of patience gave way to taking things into their own hands and doing their own thing.

They had just exited Egypt and were still full of the worlds ways. They had been set free but were not fully delivered or renewed in mind. They assumed Moses was dead after almost 6 weeks had passed waiting in the desert and they became fearful of their future with no leader.

This rebellion at Shavuot when the covenant was given resulted in judgment and death 3000 perished.

Yeshua came to fulfill the law.

God’s instructions included the 7 Appointed times! Moses delivered it Messiah fulfilled it.

At the Shavuot of Pentecost when the Ruach HaKodesh, was given there was salvation – eternal life and it is recorded that 3000 were present. 3000 came to life, here fulfilling the statement, the letter kills but the spirit gives life.

The old and renewed covenant are joined together, both initiated on the same date.

The spirit given the same day as the law; because

the law can tell us the will of God

but only

the Spirit can give us the the power to live it.. and for it to be evidence in our lives of His indwelling presence.

Then, His presence was contained in a specially prepared vessel – an ark. In the second His presence contained in specially prepared vessels – believers who had counted the Omer of 50 preparation days.

The Jews rebelled against the Roman rule of tyranny – so not all rebellion is wrong!

Rebellion, uprising, or insurrection is a refusal of obedience or order. It refers to the open resistance against the orders of an established authority.. A rebellion originates from a sentiment of indignation and disapproval of a situation and then manifests itself by the refusal to submit or to obey the authority responsible for this situation.

 It is action against those in authority, against the rules, or against normal and accepted ways of behaving.

If we look in Matt.23:1-12, at some of the comments and actions of Jesus/Yeshua in connection to the hypocrisy Pharisees and Sadducees and the then Sanhedrin who ruled over the people, He actually was ‘in rebellion,’ according to the dictionary definition, against their (man-made) laws.

However this rebellion, was a righteous stand against those who had perverted and twisted God’s original commandments.

The original rebellion against God was ha satan Satan personifies rebellion. It was Lucifer’s rebellious action that saw him tossed out of heaven and renamed Satan, Adversary:

How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! Isaiah 14:12

In referencing Satan’s fall from heaven Yeshua/Jesus said in

Luke 10:18 “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven”.

The five “I will” statements made by Satan in Isaiah 14 each take a step toward God, with each new step being greater than the previous. Satan’s desire to “climb the ladder” and ascend to heaven may mean that his rebellion began on earth. He desired to raise his seat above that of all the other angels.

In chapter 3:7 John called the religious leaders..

Jesus/Yeshua said they were of their father the devil and pronounced Seven Woes Upon the Scribes and Pharisees, Matt. 23:13-36; John 8:44.

Only Matthew records this scathing denunciation of the Jewish religious leaders.

These woes, in contrast to the Beatitudes, denounce false religion as utterly abhorrent to God and worthy of severe condemnation. No passage in the Bible is more biting, more pointed, or more severe than this pronouncement of Messiah upon the Pharisees.

It is very significant that He singled them out, as opposed to the Sadducees, who were more liberal, and the Herodians, who were the politicians. The Pharisees, while attempting to honor the Word of God and manifesting an extreme form of religious observance, were actually the farthest away from God.

No wonder it was something to rebel and have a righteous revolution against!

His first condemnation, in 23:13, related to the fact that they did all they could to shut out others.

False religion and pretense are always the worst enemies of the truth and are far more dangerous than immorality or indifference.

As the religious leaders of the Jews, they were held guilty before God of blocking the way for others seeking to enter into the kingdom of God.

 Messiah’s condemnation of the Scribes and Pharisees pretensions, does not rule out reasonable recognition of authority in Israel or in the church, but obviously prohibits making this a goal in itself.

Instead, He held before them the desirability of one who ministers, and being a servant concluding,

“And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (v. 12).

His disciples were not to seek to be called ‘rabbi’, and were forbidden to use the word ‘father’, indiscriminately, even though Paul used ‘father’, correctly in 1 Corinthians 4:15, and John addressed fathers in 1 John 2: 13-14. The general teaching is clear.

They were not to seek man-exalting titles such as rabbi/teacher, father, or minister, in order to gain the recognition of men; they are not titles but descriptive of the functions of service. Disciples of Messiah are not to exalt themselves but should seek to serve others and leave the exalting to God Himself.

Yeshua/Jesus concluded with the seventh woe, in verse 29, in which He charged them with building tombs of the prophets and garnishing them with decorations and claiming that they would not be partakers with their fathers in martyring prophets.

Yeshua/Jesus called their very witness to account, that they were the children of those who killed the prophets, and He told them, in verse 32,

“Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.”

In other words, do what your fathers did and even do worse.

Yeshua/Jesus was, of course, referring to their intent to kill Him and to their later persecution of the church.

In the severest terms, in verse 33, Yeshua/Jesus addressed them,

“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”

He described the Scribes and Pharisees as poisonous snakes, destined for terrible judgment which would be theirs in hell, specifically Gehenna, the place of eternal punishment.

So in this instance, the definition of a rebellion: being a resistance against something, particularly the government, authority or other controlling forces; and an example of a rebellion, is a refusal by a large group of people to follow a law… It would seem to be the correct word!

Furthermore, while looking at the word rebellion

itself and dividing it in two.. we get

REBEL LION!

Could it be said that Yeshua/Jesus was the Rebel Lion of the tribe of Judah!?

He came and reversed the curse and re-established our spiritual connection to our Heavenly Father.

It seems this rebel-lion was more of a revolution, an insurrection prior to the resurrection!

We need to rise up and become rebel lions, rebelling and standing against the antichrist system of the world and occupy till He comes. Even though the devil is the ‘god of this world’ and was able to offer it to Jesus/Yeshua, He refused and went to the cross; then He said  

but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Eph. 6:12  (KJV). For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This is what we are to rebel against as we follow Him so we are to be rebel lions against all false teaching and the traditions of men that make the Word of God of no effect.

Let us become those Rebel Lions of the tribe of Judah and rise up in the TRUTH of His Word and His Luchot cut from Sappir, the Sapharspeaking, telling, declaring the victory – not by sight but by faith – Because…

we have been crucified with Christ, and we no longer live, but Christ lives in us. The life we now live in the body, we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us. Gal 2:20

Please don’t leave this page until you are no longer in

rebellion

towards The Father/Av or Messiah Jesus/Yeshua but make sure you are a

Rebel Lion of the Royal Tribe of Judah walking

on the stones of

heavenly fire – the paved work of sapphire.

Shalom Alecheim!

Please don’t leave this site without knowing you are saved and assured that you belong to Him; with a deep conviction that you know where you will go, when your body can no longer sustain you in this realm. 

Make certain Jesus 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.

Its all about Life and Relationship not Religion.

NOT SURE?

Then simply SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

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

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

12 Gates, 12 Tribes.

The Name of each tribe is written over a gate.

Luke 6:13-16

Does this mean it is only for the members of that tribe?

Where are those lost tribes today? Many are still scattered throughout the earth. We may not be born an Israelite, or a descendant of one of the original 12 tribes but thanks to our Heavenly Father for His grace, mercy and provision because of Jesus/Yeshua, all gentile believers are spiritually grafted-in to the olive tree of Israel and thereby connected to the 12 tribes through accepting what Messiah’s has done for us and by being born again in the power of His Ruach HaKodesh. Making one new man. It will be interesting to find out which of the 12 gates through which we will enter. According to Rev. 21:27, if our names are in the Lamb’s book of life, we may enter in.

12 Tribes, and their identification.

There is sometimes confusion about the 12 tribes. which originate from the 12 sons of Jacob, plus, from the tribe of Joseph came the tribes of Menasseh and Ephraiym, his 2 sons. Jacob/Israel, also gave birth to a daughter Dina(h), who was not named as a separate tribe. Levi was not counted as a tribe because the Levites were the priests and they had no land of their own.

The names included in the lists of the sons vary for different reasons; and according to the scriptures Reuben lost his first born rights and Dan was left out of some lists of names. Sometimes Josephs’ 2 sons replaced him in the list and although there were really 13, only 12 are listed in the various accounts.

The original 12 sons

1 ASHER; 2 BENJAMIN; DAN (excluded); 3 GAD;  4 JOSEPH; 5 JUDAH; 6 ISSACHAR;  7 NAPHTALI;   8 REUBEN;    9 SIMEON;     10 ZEBULUN; 11 EPHRAIM AND 12 MANASSEH (from Joseph).

LEVI (as the tribe of the priesthood were not given land).

List in Paleo Hebrew.

 The 12 tribes as they were situated in the wilderness camp:

NORTH:

Asher- Tree

Dan- Scorpion or Snake or Scales

Naphtali- Goat or Deer

EAST:

Issachar- Donkey 

Judah- Lion of Judah (it’s the origin of the Jerusalem city flag emblem.)

Zebulun- Ship

SOUTH:

Gad –Tent

REUBEN –The Man Water

SIMEON – Fish

WEST:

Benjamin – Wolf

Ephraim And Manasseh – (Joseph) Sheaf Of Wheat – The Two Horns Of The Bull

LEVI was In The Center where the Mishkan was situated containing the ark of His presence within a cube square space of the Kodesh HaKodashim – Holy of Holies (10 cubits x 10 cubits (15′ x 15′) Exodus 25.

The Banners; The breastplate stones for each Tribe; Their Wilderness Camp Position, which was given in a clockwise direction. Num.2.

Be’Otot – b’ō·w·ṯōṯ 

according to the standards,

(The expression translated as “each in their respective regiments” in Hebrew is “al digloy” i.e. according to his flag (or standard. The words “under ensigns” in Hebrew is “be-Otot” i.e. by symbols. literally, in the signs, for there were symbols for each leader.)

The Israelites are to camp around the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard and holding the banners of their family. Numbers 2:2

There was a symbol for each leader [of each tribe], with a flag and a color, and the color of each flag was like the color of the precious stones that was over the heart of Aaron [the High Priest, i.e. on the hoshen/breastplate].

From this the kingdoms learned to make flags and a color for each flag. Each tribe had its own leader, and the color of the flag was similar to the color of its stone.

With reference to thoughts in previous posts concerning colors their frequencies and the properties of light; it bears mentioning that each, of the12 jewels in the breastplate were, according to the Biblical description, to be made from very specific minerals.

None of them the same as another, and each of them representative of a specific tribe, whose name was to be inscribed on the stone. or is there some greater significance to these12 stones? And if so, is it the chemical makeup of the stone that is important, or is it the color, or both?

Did the combination of the stones emit certain frequencies? There are references recorded in some of the ancient writings that the individual letters within the engraved stones were miraculously illuminated by Gods Holy Spirit/ Ruach HaKodesh, which spelled out answers to the High Priests questions in regards to God’s direction or will in a situation.

Aside from the 12 stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel on the high priests’ breastplate, the high priest also wore 2 sardonyx stones,

which were fixed in gold on both shoulders. The names of the 12 tribes of Israel were engraved on these two stones, according to their birth (Ex. 28).

The 12 stones in the breastplate correspond to the original twelve sons of Jacob, not to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, which were later adopted as sons, effectively doubling the inheritance for their father Joseph. That seems to be implied in the text. This is significant because the 12 foundations of the New Jerusalem are garnished with the same 12 precious stones, as named by John the Revelator in the Apocalypse – the Revealing (Rev. 21:19-20).

While not listed or individually specified with each of the foundation stones Rev. 21:14 shows they are also associated with the 12 apostles, ‘and the wall of the city had 12 foundations and in them the names of the 12 apostles of the lamb.’

These are the 12 apostles from Domus Galilaeae, Israel, listed in 4 places; (Mark 3:13–19 , Matthew 10:1–4 , Luke 6:12–16 , and 11 listed in Acts 1:13. Peter, James (the son of Zeb’edee), John, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James (the son of Alphaeus), Simon Zelotes and Judas, brother of James.

The Gospel of Matthew lists the 12 apostles in the following order: Simon (whom Jesus later renamed “Peter”),

Andrew

James (the son of Zeb’edee) 

John

Philip

Bartholomew

Thomas

Matthew

James (the son of Alphaeus)

Thaddaeus,

Simon Zelotes and

Judas brother of James

(Judas Iscariot was replaced by Matthias.)

Their names in the foundations of the New Jerusalem no doubt represent the Ecclesia/called out ones, as being ‘the pillar and ground of the truth,’ 1Tim.3:15. Through the ‘doctrine of the apostles’, Acts 2:42, that is the message of Messiahs gospel.

Possible stones associated with the apostles: who are also in close proximity to the 12 gates,

which are named for the 12 tribes of Israel and the stones on the breastplate of the High Priest.

The Lord instructed Moses to have the names of the 12 sons of Israel engraved on 12 stones in the breastplate of the high priest. The exact order, arrangement, and type of each stone were explicitly stated (Ex. 28:17-21), but the name to be written on each stone was not given, perhaps because it was obvious to Moses.

After the destruction of the temple, the knowledge of which tribe was associated with which stone was lost, and even the identity of some of the stones has been uncertain.

Because John is writing in Greek some 1500 years after Moses this is perhaps the most important reference. He is referring to precious and semi-precious stones, which he recognized and understood. Due to the fact that Greek is a more common language, and those words can be found in so many other documents, the names of the stones he gives helps greatly in their identification.

Imagine if we would have to describe the foundation stones seen only in a vision.

God’s house is a house of order, so the final order discovered should make specific sense and it will most certainly not be random. However the curious thing is that almost every time the 12 tribes are listed, they’re given in a different order (Gen 27, 49; Num 2; Deut 33; Rev.7).

While most of us are familiar with rubies being red and emeralds being green, sapphires blue and diamonds clear, but perhaps not too many more. John it seems, knew his gem stones very well, right down to recognizing sardonyx as a specific form of onyx. The lack of such knowledge could well explain why there are various representations of the stones in both name and color.

It seems clear that the 12 colors of the stones are very important, and were specifically chosen for those colors as representative of particular attributes. The stones had to be large enough to have the names of the tribes engraved on them, whereas in other contexts, such as a gem inlaid in a ring, a smaller, more precious stone could be used to represent the tribe equally well.

These same12 stones are where we our birth-month stones come from, as each of the tribes are also associated with a month.

Breastplate order of stones and tribes.

As the order and designation of which stone is seems somewhat dependent on the translation, this can also be very confusing as we have different names for precious stones in modern language.

Also sometimes the order seems to be reversed as left to right and right to left. Here Levi is top left. 

This list from scripture would be the most logical one in assuming the order for the 12 twelve stones on the breastplate, and that’s usually the case in most studies.

the Twelve Tribes of Israel, or Shivtei Yisrael, as they are known in Hebrew:

In “Modern” Hebrew, the stones are translated as follows:
– Odem: Ruby
– Pitedah: Topaz
– Bareket: Emerald
– Nofekh: Not in use as stone name today
– Sapir: Sapphire
– Yahalom: Diamond
– Leshem: Opal
– Shevo: Not in use as stone name today
– Achlamah: Amethyst
– Tarshish: Not in use as stone name today
– Shoham: Onyx
– Yashpeh: Jasper

Reuben’s stone was Odem- אדֶם

clearly a red stone. Scholars suggest either red jasper, or carnelian sard a type of quartz. The color of his flag was red, and mandrakes were drawn on it [Genesis 30:14]. The mandrakes in Reuben’s coat-of-arms are based on the episode related in Gen. 30, where young Reuben brought his mother Leah mandrakes from the field. The biblical phrase on the tab is from Deut. 33:6, “Let Reuben live.”

Simeon’s stone was Piteda-(פִּטְדָה)

some sort of yellowish-green stone, probably topaz. Others suggest peridot, chrysolite or perhaps green-yellow chalcedony and the color of his flag was green, and the city of Shechem was drawn on it [Genesis 34]. Simon was one of the strongest tribes during the wandering in the desert but later became one of the weakest in consequence of losses suffered during the battles for the Promised Land. It was eventually absorbed by mighty Judah. Formerly the city of Shechem was situated within the boundaries of Simon and the gate of the city therefore appears on the tribe’s. The biblical phrase on the tab is from Deut. 33:5, “…and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.”

Levi’s stone was Bareqet- בָּרֶקֶת

translated in the Aramaic Targumim as azmaragd, a loanword from the Greek smaragdos for “emerald”. Some suggest beryl of which emerald is a type. Others suggest Carbunkle or the green malachite, and the color of his flag was one third white, one third black, and one third red, and the Urim and Tummim were drawn on it. The Levites “kept the charge of the tabernacles of testimony” (Num. 1:53); they had no territory of their own and were dispersed among the other tribes. Their emblem was the ephod of the High Priest on which were engraved, upon precious stones, the names of all tribes. The biblical phrase on the tab is from Deut. 33:10, “They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law.”

Judah’s stone was was Nophekh- נׁפֶךְ

– its color is unclear. Is it sky blue? Some suggest turquoise, or red, which is perhaps more likely as suggested by the etymology of nophekh. If so, it may be garnet and the color of his flag was like the color of the sky, and a lion was drawn on it Genesis 49:9. The most famous heraldic symbol belongs to the tribe of Judah, which displayed a lion on its shield. This tribe became the most powerful and constituted the Kingdom of Judah. The lion is the symbol of strength and is featured as such in innumerable works throughout the ages. This animal is one those most frequently mentioned in the Bible, appearing about 130 times under 6 different names. The biblical phrase on the tab is from Gen. 49:9, “Judah is a lion’s whelp.”

Issachar’s stone was Sappir-(סַפִּיר)

– a blue gem, but unlikely to be sapphire, even though the words are etymologically related. Most likely lapis lazuli and the color of his flag was dark blue literally black like coal/ kohl, and a sun and a moon were drawn on it, as it is written I Chronicles 12:33: “And from the sons of Issachar were those who knew the wisdom of the times i.e. astronomy and calendars.” Issachar’s territory was the plane of Esdraelon, from the sea to the banks of the Jordan. This tribe is frequently mentioned together with Zebulun indicative of their being neighbors and maintaining close relations. The tribe’s emblem of sun and stars is derived from the biblical phrase, “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times” (1 Chron. 12:32), which appears on the tab. Other representations of Issachar reflect the dependence of this tribe on the Phoenicians, in whose products the tribe dealt — as a carrier of loads as a donkey or as a laden camel (in the synagogue of Aix-la-Chapelle Germany).

Zebulon’s stone was Yahalom (שְׁבוֹ)

– even though in modern Hebrew it means diamond, almost no scholars think this is correct. It appears to be a white/moon-like stone. Chalcedony is likely, and others suggest moonstone, amethyst or even jade and the color of his flag was like the moon, and a ship was drawn on it, as it is written Genesis 49:13: “Zebulon shall dwell by the seashore.” Zevulun settled on the country’s seaboard and as symbolized by its emblem was engaged in navigation. This idea is conveyed in the biblical phrase, “Zebulun shall be for a haven of ships” Gen. 49:13.

Dan’s stone was Leshem – apparently similar to sappir. Aventurine? Hyacinth? Turquoise?, and the color of his flag was similar to sappir, and a snake was drawn on it, as it is written Genesis 49:17: “Dan shall be a snake.” Also often seen is a pair of scales as a symbol of Dan,

The original area of the tribe of Dan extended from Jaffa southward. Samson was a son of this tribe. As it could not conquer its entire territory, Dan looked to settle elsewhere and the tribe moved north to the source of the Jordan River, captured the city Laish, and settled there. In Jacob’s Blessing Dan was promised that he “shall judge his people” Gen. 49:16.

Gad’s stone was Shevo (שְׁבוֹ)

– almost everyone agrees that this is agate, perhaps striped or spotted and the color of his flag was not white and not black but a mixture of black and white, and a military camp was drawn on it, as it is written Genesis 49:19: “Gad shall camp in troops [Heb: Gad gedud yegudenu].” The tribe of Gad settled in the land of Gilead, east of the Jordan. It did battle against Amon and Moab coming from the south, wandering tribes from the east, and Aram from the north. The emblem resembles a camp in reminiscence of the biblical phrase -on the tab- “Gad, a troop shall overcome him” Gen. 49:19.

Naftali’s stone was Ahlama-– ʾaḤlamah (אַחְלָמָה)

– this is also fairly unanimous that this is amethyst, and the wine connection makes that even clearer (amethyst was associated in the ancient world with wine, and was reputed to prevent drunkenness, and the color of his flag was like diluted wine whose red [color] was no longer strong, and a deer was drawn on it, as it is written Genesis 49:21: “Naftali is a swift deer.” After the conquest of the country, the tribe of Naftali settled in the north where played a central role among the tribes located there. Naftali is represented by a gazelle or running stag. The biblical phrase on the tab is “Naftali is a hind let loose” Gen. 49:21.

Asher’s stone was Tarshish- (תַּרְשִׁישׁ)

– very unclear, especially since we don’t have a color to associate it with. We don’t even know if it is the name of a stone or simply a precious gem that comes from the city of Tarshish. Scholars have suggested aquamarine, or some kind of beryl. The Targum suggests a stone associated with the color of the ocean and the color of his flag was like a precious stone that women decorate themselves with, and an olive tree was drawn on it, as it is written Genesis 49:20: “From Asher will be his rich bread.” The coastal strip from the foot of Mount Carmel up to Sidon was inhabited by Asher, the fertility of whose land was indicated by an olive tree or —as represented on stamps of the Jewish National Fund or in the synagogue of Aix-la-Chapelle Germany— by ears of corn or fruit. The biblical phrase on the tab is “Out of Asher his bread shall be fat” (Gen. 49:20).

Joseph’s stone was Shoham- (שֹׁהַם)

– Most likely onyx, although the Targumim give burla or birlewa, which means beryl and the color of his flag was very black, and the picture drawn on it for the two leaders, Ephraim and Menasseh, was Egypt, because they were born in Egypt. Joseph was the principal tribe in central Eretz Israel, which split into Manasseh and Ephraim. The fertility of Joseph’s country is symbolized by the sheaf on the stamp. The biblical phrase on the tab reads, “…blessed of the Lord be his land” Deut. 33:13.

The flag of Ephraim was drawn an ox, as it is written Deuteronomy 33:17: “His first born is his ox;” this is a reference to Joshua, who was from the tribe of Ephraim. And on the flag of Menasseh was drawn a re’em /oryx, as it is written in Deut. 33:17: “and his horn will be like the horns of the re’em;” this is a reference to Gideon, son of Joash, who was from the tribe of Menasseh.

Benjamin’s stone was Yashfe-(יָשְׁפֶה)

– again, one of the clearer identifications. Almost all scholars are in agreement that this is jasper. The Targum’s association with panthers suggests that it was spotted or veined jasper., and the color of his flag was like all the colors of the twelve colors, and a wolf was drawn on it, as it is written Genesis 49:17: “Benjamin is like a scavenging wolf.” The favorite son of Jacob, Benjamin has remained the symbol of the tender youngest child. The tribe of Benjamin, however, was considered particularly warlike and courageous. To this tribe belonged Saul, the first king, and Jonathan, his son. The symbol of the tribe was the wolf, a predatory animal. The biblical phrase on the tab reads, “…in the morning he shall devour the prey” Gen. 49:27.

Numbers BaMidbar Rabbah 2:7 has a list of each tribe and its flag, with the color, stone, and symbol associated with it, which is probably the original source or one of the earliest that we’ll find for this.

A final image from NASA and an interesting article ….. A picture paints 1000 words ….

These fascinating pictures taken by the Hubble telescope show something out in the heavens????

CELESTIAL CITY OF NEW JERUSALEM PHOTOGRAPHED BY NASA’S HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE

In 1994, a researcher smuggled one top-secret photo the Hubble Space Telescope had taken of what is presumed to be Heaven. Weekly World News was the first to print the image and report on Dr. Masson’s findings, but despite the media coverage, NASA refused to acknowledge the existence of the photo.

Just days after space shuttle astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in mid December, the giant lens focused on a star cluster at the edge of the universe – and photographed heaven!

That’s the word from author and researcher Marcia Masson, who quoted highly placed NASA insiders as having said that the telescope beamed hundreds of photos back to the command center at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., on December 26. The pictures clearly show a vast white city floating eerily in the blackness of space. “

After checking and rechecking the data, they concluded that the images were authentic. They also theorized that the city couldn’t possibly be inhabited by life as we know it.

What Does The Mysterious Roy G Biv Reveal About Ahavah?

Is it perhaps an emerald green like the color of the rainbow around our Heavenly Fathers Throne?

Or could it be blue

like the firmament of the heavens..?

the same as the color of a sapphire?

Here is a very curious find…

“Skystone” or “Stone of Heaven” is an odd type of blue stone and was discovered during archeological excavations in Sierra Leone, West Africa.

Angelo Pitoni, the archeologist who found the stone,

was puzzled by its appearance, so he sent it to be investigated by laboratories of the University of Geneva and according to analysis.

 A piece of Sky Stone being prepared for cutting.

An amazing ,77.17% of the stone, is somehow made of pure OXYGEN, yet harder than diamond, unnatural to earth and has strong carbon and silica (glass) in it! The remaining percentage was divided between carbon, silicon, calcium and sodium.

Sky-Stone-Analysis

The composition makes the “Sky Stone” similar to a kind of concrete or stucco, and seems to have been artificially colored.

The natives living in the area where the stone was found, already knew about its existence because this stone-like artifact used to pop out during the digging in the area.

Another mystery related to the stone of heaven is that this artifact is always found in soil layers dating to at least 12000 BC. 

Could the sky stone be part of the firmament ?

Or is this like that which Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu and the 70 elders saw in Ex. 24:9-10 (NASB)?

 

Or is the color of

maybe gold

like the sea of glass – the purest transparent gold that the streets of heaven are made of?

God is love (1 John 4:8), the very nature of the Creator is under scrutiny when love is considered…

We are used to hearing the definition of Love in Greek which has many different words to describe various types of love. Some say 3, some 6 and others 8.

In ancient Greek, the three words for love with which we are more familiar: eros, philia, and agape.

Eros: The first kind of love was named after the Greek god of fertility, it represented the idea of, a physical love, passion and desire between husband and wife. the root word is found in erotic. The Modern Greek word ” erotas ” means “(romantic) love.

Philia/Philos, as in ‘brotherly’ love, The love between two members of the family, love of Mankind, broader human relationships, or deep friendship; the root word is found in ‘ Philadelphia’.

Agape, a really high relationship with the Godhead, the love of God for Man; or love for everyone. As a verb Agapo means “I love”; Agapetos means “beloved.”

the next 3 are:

Ludus, or playful love.

Philautia, or love of the self.

Pragma, or longstanding love.

The other 2 are:

Storge, Affection, as in love for babies children, pets.

Mania, a combination of Eros and Ludus: Obsessive, troubled, intense, madness.

In English we have a number of words for love: fondness, adoration, cherishing, etc.

Ahava (Ah-ha-vah) is the Hebrew word for love.

Hebrew was not just created by God, but it is the language through which He spoke in creating the world.

Much wisdom is attributed to the words and letters in the Hebrew language and understanding the concepts that are incorporated in words can help us in our own lives.  

Hebrew is a living language, a language of the heart/lev and it is a power-filled force that helps us better know the Bible and it’s author.  Each Hebrew letter is a sign, a symbol, a sound, and a number; and maybe even a color?  By digging into the depths of the original language of the Bible we can better grasp its message. 

The word “love” which is thrown about so freely in English that everyone uses for everything has a special meaning in Hebrew.

Love or “ahavah” in the Hebraic mind is very different in today’s culture. In the Hebrew, love is connected directly with action and obedience.

Strong’s Exhaustive Dictionary defines ahavah as “to have affection, sexually or otherwise, love, like, to befriend, to be intimate.” 

Hebraically ahavah is a verb and a noun, it is an act of doing. Ahava is not just a feeling.

It brings to mind the idea of longing for or breathing for another.

To get a clear understanding of ahavah, let’s examine the Hebrew word itself and learn what it means to love Hebraically.

 Most Hebrew words can be broken down to a three-consonant root word that contains the essence of the word’s meaning.   

Love in Hebrew is “Ahavah” , which is made up of three basic Hebrew letters,

 These three letters actually are broken down into two parts: a two letter base or root,

and the first letter,

which is a modifier.

The root word of ahavah is “ahav.”

The term ahav in Hebrew means, “to give.”

 

The Hebrew word “ahavah” is spelled

“aleph, hei, bet, hei.” 

The root word ahav is spelled “aleph, hei, bet.”

These Hebrew letters reveal a secret of love hidden for thousands of years. This secret is exposed through the meaning behind each Hebrew letter in “ahav.” 

Hebrew is read from right to right to left.  The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is also the first letter in “ahav.” 

This is the aleph.

The first letter of the Hebrew alphabet is also the first letter in “ahav.” This is the aleph this letter has the numerical value of one. Aleph symbolizes the one and only Eternal God. In Revelation 22:13,  Jesus/Yeshua called Himself the Aleph and the Tav. Aleph is a picture of God our Father and His creation. There is one Father Creator.

God our Father – Abba/Avinu

Jesus/Yeshua said that this is the number one commandment in Matt.22:37-39. The first of all commandments is, Shema O Yisra’el; the Master /God is our Father. God our Abba/Avinu is Echad: and you shall ahava (love) the Master/ God our Father with all your lev (heart), and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There are no other commandments greater than these,” Mark 12:29-31.

Ahavah starts with Aleph. Real ahavah starts with loving God our Father first. Then, as a person has a relationship with God our Father, we can love our neighbor properly.

The next letter of ahav is the “hei.” The letter “hei” is the fifth letter of the aleph-bet. Five is the number of chesed/grace and highly symbolic.

There are five books of the Torah, five fingers on the hand, and King David gathered five smooth stones to kill Goliath. It is through grace or chesed that God our Abba/Avinu loves us. Mankind loves God our Father back through the fifth letter hei. How? Ahavah is shown to Abba/Avinu through hei – through the five books of the Torah. “If you love me, obey my mitzvoth / commandments. If a man loves Me, he will guard My words, and My Abba/Avinu will love him, and We will come to him, and make Our stay with Him,” said Y’shua in John 14:15, 23.

The hei is the means that a person expresses ahavah. You love and give to God our Abba/Avinu by your actions of obedience.

The form of the letter hei, the number five shows how to correctly love Abba/Avinu and man. The three lines of hei are a picture of loving Abba/Avinu with thought, deed, and words. The top horizontal line is the realm of thought. A person’s thoughts should be focused upward on Abba/Avinu and His word. The vertical line to the right is speech. From the abundance of the heart/mind/horizontal line, the mouth speaks because speech comes directly from thought.

The unattached line to the left is deed. Though actions should be connected to our intentions, they often are not. “There are many plans in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of Abba/Avinu shall stand,” Mishlei / Proverbs 19:21.

Man is to unite the three lines through devotion and service. Loving Abba/Avinu with thoughts, words, and deeds is the goal of the hei.

The Beit is the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is the third letter in “ahav.”

(B is also V in Hebrew.)

This letter vividly demonstrates the purpose of all creation. How? Beit is a picture of a house. Abba/Avinu created the world to be a dwelling place in this world below.

The first letter in the Torah is a beit, found in the word Beresheet, Genesis.

The tabernacle was made to create a bayit, or a house, for Abba/Avinu. “Know you not that you are the temple of Abba/Avinu, and that the Spirit of Abba/Avinu dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16.

The objective of loving Abba/Avinu is to be conformed to His image and represent Him to the world. The two are to walk together.

Beit, is also the number two.

Abba/Avinu plus His servant equals two. Yet in the beit, the two shall become one. Y’shua said, “For where two, or three will assemble together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them,” Matthew 18:20. Ahava starts with loving Abba/Avinu first and foremost through word, deed, and thought.

This type of ahavah creates a house for Abba/Avinu to inhabit. We make a dwelling place or house for Abba/Avinu when we show love by giving to others.

In review, the Hebrew root word for love is “ahav,” spelled “aleph, hei, bet.” The aleph reminds us that we are to love Abba/Avinu first. Hei shows us to express that love by conforming our thoughts, words, and deeds to the five books of the Torah. When love is directed first to Abba/Avinu, then a beit, a house, is built to sustain His presence.

The meaning of the two letter base, is “to give”. The letter “aleph” , which precedes these two letters comes to modify the meaning of the base word, “give”. The meaning of, is “I give” and also “love”.

We now see the connection between the two words, “I give” and “love”. Love is giving. Not only is love giving, but the actual process of giving develops the very connection between the giver and the receiver. The more giving that one does, the greater is the connection.

This, is hebrew thought.

The process of giving is a vehicle through which the giver through his act of giving is able to, through a physical gift  give of himself to another. This act of giving something is not merely helping another but is much more than that. Giving enables us to make a connection to another. When we give to another, that which we give to him/her, could have been utilize to further our own self. Instead, we choose to take that which could have been used for our own needs and instead, use it for someone else.

True ahavah, true love, is more concerned about giving than receiving.

Giving is a condition that creates and sustains love. With out giving, there is no connection that is sustaining.  Giving is the vehicle of love. God so loved the world that He GAVE His only Son.

Love may focus on receiving, but ahavah is all about giving.

Is RED the color of love – from the sacrificial death of Messiah and the Blood that was shed for us? Matt. 26:28.

The true relationships that our meaningful in our lives are those in which mutual giving takes place. The giving may be physical, emotional, intellectual or a combination. Without giving from ourselves, no relationship can be enduring.

That is the secret of love that is revealed to us in the Hebrew language placed within by it’s Creator.

However, love is more than just a word, rather than an emotion, it involves action, in Israel, love is also a way of life!  It is not something that happens “to you” but a condition that you create when you give.

In Hebrew: דודים ,חיבוב ,רחמים ,אהבה, are some words having to do with love.

(The word דודים is sometimes a plural noun; but it also means love, as in Ezekiel 16:8.)

Because in the Hebrew language there aren’t any exact synonyms, each of the apparent synonyms for אהבה, ahava, will point to a slightly different aspect of love.

(The noun for love is ahavah.)

אהבה is the most general word for love, which is used to express all kinds of love and affection, from deep love, to just liking someone or something.

אהב aheb to love (verb) = ah-HAHV is usually translated with to love, but it rather means to be attracted to ,or to be attached to, and that in a rather mechanical way like a magnet to a nail.

It’s used to describe a parent’s attachment to a child,

“you love you” doesn’t make much sense, but it would be:

to a female = at ohevet et atsmekh

to a male = atah ohev et atsmekha

if you are male, your love = ahava shelkha

if you are female, your love = ahava shelakh

The obvious antithesis of this verb is שנא – sane – which means, to hate, and which is identical to the verb that means, to sleep. Sleeping in the Bible is often used in the sense of being inattentive or aloof (Matthew 26:40), which suggests that our verb אהב (aheb) primarily has to do with being attentive and intimate.

דודים is used for love such as that of newlyweds.

חיבוב is close to “cherish.”

רחמים is for a gut-feeling, such as the love of a guardian.

חסד is a verb –  hasad – and is the reason why we see curious words like “loving kindness” or “faithful love” in the Bible.
It appears to have originated as a word that expressed a kind of economic and emotional loyalty among relatives or friends or neighbors, but it appears to have moved into legal jargon as the verb that describes a formal contract or covenant.

In our world the word, contract brings to mind being bound by a law, that when broken will land you in jail. The Hebrew word חסד (hasad),  has primarily to do with human decency and allegiance.

רחם

The verb רחם raham – expresses a kind of devotional love that usually goes one way: from a caregiver to the receiver of this care.

It’s often used to describe a parent’s devotion to a child, and subsequently also God’s devotion to mankind.

The Fathers Love is expressed in the 1st covenant was sealed with Noah after the flood and God pointed out to him the rainbow in the heavens which was not before the flood for it had never rained.

For Noah it would serve as a reminder to Him of God’s covenant promises and salvation from the judgment on sin.

If we had never seen one, how would we know what it was – how would someone describe it to you know without tv, the internet or Hollywood to animate it?

Then suddenly came the deluge.

The whole eco system was changed forever after the windows of heaven were opened and the fountains of the deep were broken up.

Note of interest…

They apparently have found an ocean beneath the ocean!! how they know that is in itself a mystery!

https://www.iflscience.com/environment/huge-underground-ocean-discovered-towards-earths-core/

https://www.livescience.com/1312-huge-ocean-discovered-earth.html

The sky above the firmament may have had more of a solid structure like that of ice – frozen precipitation. It’s apparently cold out in space. Just as altitude affects temperature and there is a clear snow line on mountains, with snow on the highest peaks all year round. The higher one goes the colder it gets.

The windows of heaven opening were maybe a way of meaning, the ice is melting and its going to fall to earth.

Water always finds the lowest point flowing down. The amount of precipitation condensed moisture we call rain, is determined by the clouds that form as the earth heats up from the suns rays. The moisture rises as we know heat always rises, and it’s the same principle for how a hot air ballon functions.

The moisture evaporates and condensation, rises up and then hits the cold air in the upper atmosphere and it is transformed into what we see as clouds. The more moisture in the clouds the darker they become in color.

When they become over saturated and too heavy to float, the moisture they contain falls to earth as rain or snow. Friction within the cloud gives rise to lightning which precedes the rain falling harder and faster. Thunder is simply the sound of that electric lightning bolt of energy and we see it before we hear it, because light waves travel faster than sound waves. However this is not a science /physics lesson, although God is the perfect scientist/physics master and man is only at the tip of comprehending all He has created and understanding how His creation functions.

The point of the pre-ramble is to highlight the rainbow, which had probably never been seen prior to the flood, for according to scripture, there was no rain..

Genesis 2:5–6 states that “the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up  a mist…

So therefore probably no clouds  however, they may have seen the mist. Gen. 2:8

No Rain? Crazy you may say?

There are desert places today that never see any measurable rainfall so its not impossible.

As a covenant reminder it’s’ His token of love that is perpetual and everlasting in Jesus/Yeshua. The ultimate representation of divine and unconditional love for us.

So as a covenant sign what color is love?

Is it the emerald rainbow described as being around His throne as described in Revelation?

The colors of the rainbow are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, (blue-purple) and Violet (red-purple).

An Acronym for the rainbow colors is ROY G BIV – it sounds like the name of a person and makes it easy to remember the order in which we see them.

Through that ‘mysterious name’ we will have the secret color of ahavah revealed to us.

Is it red?

The color of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua’s blood?

The color of the sacrifice that paid for our redemption and forgiveness before we even knew we needed it and certainly did not deserve i?

Orange, golden for the harvest of the first fruit and the gold of the tabernacle furniture together with the mercy seat that speaks of our salvation?

Yellow the color of the sun/son the brightness of His glory. The light beams that come forth from His hands the hiding place of His power. The color of spring, new life, resurrection and the season of First Fruits? 

Is it Green, the color of the green pastures that He leads us to lie down in, His true Shalom? The tranquility and safety of our beloved great shepherd over His sheep.

Or Blue? The color of the heavens and all it promises us as it beckons to our longing hearts. The color of the sea that speaks of humanity and the only One who can reconcile the two back from our broken fellowship and so healing the relationship.

Is Love Indigo? A blue-purple for royalty, of the King of kings and Lord of lords. The ONE/ECHAD, who stepped down into darkness that we should see a great light and turn from our wicked ways and seek His face.

Or could it be Violet? A red-purple of the high priestly garment that He indeed is the propitiation for our sins the only go between that intercedes for us before the Fathers throne. The High Priest of the confession of our faith, of love, that not only ministered in the place of the sacrifice but actually became it.

Is Love White? The color of the high priests garment worn on the most Holy day and representing the robe of righteousness that we are clothed in as our garment of salvation; washed in the blood and cleansed white as snow. The brides adornment and the wedding guests required attire.

Or is it black? As He reminds us of the hidden riches of darkness;

and that He was in the the thick dark cloud 

leading and guiding and protecting.

Or is Love gold? A hue of orange, the purest element known. So pure that Heavens streets are made of it; it does not rust nor corrode. In its’ most purest form, with all the dross removed, it’s transparent; so there is nothing hidden from or obscured – it is pure, like His love.

There is a cyclical element to the color wheel and the numbers are significant

3 primary colors red Yellow and Blue

3 secondary colors orange green and purple (indigo violet)

red + yellow = orange

yellow + blue= green

blue + red= purple

However there are 7 colors in the rainbow –

7 has the meaning of spiritual perfection.

The position in the rainbow shows the secondary color between the primaries that mix to produce it and explains the indigo-violet as each color is next to the one it contains more of; i.e. the blue-purple sits next to blue and the violet next to the red.

These are the colors that are in the visible spectrum of light that our human eyes can identify. There are other spectrums e.g. infra red and black light and that we cannot see with the naked eye but we can see them with the help of technology. There are x rays, gamma rays, and radiation light waves, that we call the aurora borealis.

It’s all a form of energy and helps in describing that God is light.

God   IS…. His covenant sign.

He IS light…

…and John says He is love and He is Light –

so what color is love???

The symbol has been highjacked and used by other groups over the years but interestingly, one of them is not the same rainbow as it only has 6 colors and not seven; and six is the number of man!

The 7 colors can be connected to the 7 feasts,

and also linked to the 12 tribes...and 12 months

 So what color is love???

The way we see all 7 of the rainbow colors is because the beam of white light passes through water droplets and is split or divided into its base elemental light frequencies.

Seen here passing through a prism is the same as the process when light passes through water droplets in the sky forming the rainbow. We know the significance of water = the word of God and that God is light and that there are 7 spirits of God; could they also be represented by the colors?

The diagram above shows the different spectral light and wave forms of light now the atmosphere had changed as the water in the firmament above could not be put back.

So if the white light = God, positioned before the prism…

God is light – God is love and is therefore = to 7 colors after passing through the prism –

So here’s the answer to our question – what color is Love?

It’s all of them!

Ahavah/Love is all the colors rolled into one because God is One –

Echad;

and so love is also the source – white light – so bright it’s almost blinding.

– and the seven rainbow colors passing through the water of His Word was in Yeshua, the Word made flesh.

It is the sign of His covenant of LOVE in the heavens.

It’s a reminder of His Love in the 7 appointed times and that He is coming back to manifest the heavenly, royal, priestly colors of blue, indigo and violet to fulfill the covenant.

The frequencies that our human eyes can see tells us of His Love and of His seven spirits here to minister to our needs as Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh in 7 colors of Love; all contained within the purest light of righteousness, (white). The white of the robes of His righteousness that He places around us.

The rainbow reminds us of His glory (gold) and His grace, (we come from dark to light, black to white); and because every color of the palette comes from 3 original primaries, with white or black added for hues, shades and tints. He is in every part of His creation and His love shows in every color we see.

Each color is visible because it’s the only 1 of the 7 that is not absorbed by the object that is the visible light. Light is a frequency and travels in waves like the movement of water in the sea. Light apparently travels at 186,000 miles per second, too fast to be followed but we see the result.

When we humbly receive His Light – His visual AHAVAH – it changes us and we are never the same again. No one can remain the same once they have been in the light/love of His presence.

God is light and He must by this understanding, also have frequency as part of His existence, His being. It follows then, that in some measure, as we are His children we are therefore children/beings of that same light.

Eph.5:8. We must walk and

His light was the light of men. While I am with you I am the light of the world You (We) are now the light of the world.

To  recall the simple and innocent saying as a child, this little light of mine… It really is pertinent, we really do need to shine brightly. Let the AHAVAH colors of His covenant shine out through us; as His pure white light shines on us and passes through the Word dwelling in us, emitting the 7 colors and radiating to those in the world around us, the seven spirits of His Ah-HA-VAH.

What color is Ahava???

ALL  – ONE  – ECHAD

– ALL –  LIGHT

ALL – LOVE

One day soon no other source of light will be needed for He Himself will be the light. Rev.22:5.

Next time there is a rainbow (ke-shet) in the sky – see ALL the colors of the Father’s Ahavah covenant over our lives.
