The Servant Heart of Hadassah and Yeshua.

There is a precious connection to the servant heart of a brave, courageous, faith filled and obedient woman called Hadassah whose memory is celebrated each year at Purim and to the coming Messiah. He came the first time as the suffering servant whose brave, courageous, faith filled and obedient life and death opened the WAY to eternal life in the presence of God for whosoever will accept His offer.

One thing is clear and that is we are to emulate and follow Him. His instructions for our new life in Him are recorded for our benefit and education. His Words are instructions for life/chaim.

Mark 9:35 KJV: And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.

First a word of encouragement…

It is soon the time of year we remember Messiahs sacrificial death and the celebration of His resurrection which gives us more than a fleeting wishful thought of a future with the Lord; it is a hope that is rooted deep in faith anchored in the foundation of the written word of promise which was fulfilled in the physical life of a physical savior; and who is Himself the living Word and will physically return.

The spirit of Jesus/Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy; and He is that self fulfilling prophecy whose words of promise will not pass away but will be fulfilled just as He spoke. These words are recorded for us in the 4 gospels, Acts and in Revelation.

He is faithful and true and we can be assured that all is well.

He is in control of all things.

Nothing is a surprise to Him because He is the great co ordinator watching over His creation to will and to do His good pleasure.

1 Chronicles 28:20 – And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said,

I will not

in any way fail you

nor give you up nor leave you without support.

[I will] not,

[I will] not,

[I will] not in any degree leave you helpless

nor forsake

nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)!

[Assuredly not!]

Hebrews 13:5 Amp.

Do not be dismayed for those things coming upon the earth.

Joshua 8:1, God says, “Fear not, neither be dismayed.”

Yes, there may be a dark and evil storm raging around us, and  some tribulations coming upon the earth at this season; for we are in a time of great change.

Things will be different going forward as scripture is being fulfilled before our eyes. BUT the Lord says,

Do not be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”

and He has armies that we do not see.

So let the peace of God rule and reign in our hearts, His true Shalom!

 

Continuing from previous post…

https://www.minimannamoments.com/what-has-a-flower-got-to-do-with-a-servant-heart-salvation-and-a-bridegroom/

there is a need for us to know our identity… who we really are.

We are not the persona we have created for ourselves, namely the one we show to the world or even the one we show to church members, nor even maybe family members. In reality we are who God made us to be, and as we have accepted the terms of the renewed covenant;

we are grafted in to the olive tree of spiritual Israel and

now part of Messiahs Bride/Kallah.

We are joint heirs with Him.

We are now to become the person that He strategically placed and positioned here on this earth for this season and His reason.

We are bought with a price that we could never repay and like Esther/Hadassah, for such a time as this we were called into His Kingdom.

The church age is finite.

In that, it had a specific beginning on the day of Pentecost and it will have a specific end; an alpha and omega, an alef and tav.

One day this age will end.

That day will be the day Messiah comes for His Bride, His Challah and time is running out.

2000+ years have passed and if we believe the 1000 year to a day ratio, then 2 days are completed and

on the third day I will raise you up!

29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God

30 will fail to receive many times more at the proper time—

and in the age to come, eternal life.”

The Kingdom Age is an eternal one, infinite and it’s the one we are familiar with and say as part of the Lords /apostles/disciples prayer.

THY KINGDOM COME…..

We are, saints, children of the Most High, and are to be sharing the good news that the DALET/door to salvation, the WAY to eternal life is still available for whosoever will.

Encourage all to Seek Him while He may be found. As Messiah said:

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

And So must we…

This Gregorian calendar year of 2020 reminds us of the optician chart that measures if we have 20-20 vision… the message is clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.

One aspect of 2020 is that it overlaps with Hebrew year 5780, where the Hebrew character that represents 80, (PeyFey) is a pictograph representing an open mouth.

A reference perhaps to prophecy, and the spoken word. It also speaks of grace for reaching the lost through declaring the gift of salvation through Messiah. We are to speak out and boldly declare the signs of the times.

And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. Eph. 6:19

The salvation of the people is the most important thing and that it can be found by turning to Jesus and turning means repenting of our rebellion and sinful ways.

Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds. Jer.4:1

Turn and keep on coming.

There is always resistance to this message of repentance and holiness, but the word says:

But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.

On the behavioral aspect of Holiness that Hebrews 12:14 touches on, its clear, without pursuing holinessno one will see The Lord.

Intimacy with God, communion with Ruach HaKodesh/ Holy Spirit, will not be taking place unless one pursues holiness.

It requires a cleansing of our hearts and allowing Him to wash us clean with His precious blood.

And a purging by fire.

It surely is not ‘coincidence’ that the whole world is being told to wash its hands!

They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations. Isaiah 1:16 

As above so below,

on earth as it is in heaven;

  the duality of spirituality.

What is happening on the earth is indicative of what is taking place in the spiritual realm.

Everything we need to know is in His Word – He has EVERYTHING covered!

Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” James 4:8,

This is not insignificant as many of todays pulpits are not calling for repentance or holiness. It does not have the same appeal as other subjects yet

Jesus own words in Luke 13:1-9

3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish…

 If you don’t get right with God, you are going to perish.”

 

This is part of our calling, to pray more will be saved.

It was David who then pondered who could go into the presence of such a holy sovereign Lord…

(i.e., to the tabernacle on the hill [holy hill in Psa.2:6] of the Lord and its holy place).

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

Ps 24:3

Verse 4 answers: He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Only those whose heart is pure and hands are clean.

God’s hill is, in reality, the highest heaven, wherein He has His dwelling-place. Then its’ representative on earth was, Mount Zion, where it was already pre determined that the temple should be built, and where David was about to transfer the ark of the covenant.

This question was asked as a warning to the Levites, because David was ready to have them move the ark. He was ensuring that they would purify themselves in heart and soul before taking part in the serious and holy ceremony.

Or who shall stand in his holy place?

Who: This refers to those who shall stand and minister inside the tabernacle, when the ark has been placed inside, and it has thus become, God’s Holy place?

His throne/kapporet/presence, here on earth.

We are to rend our hearts in true repentance and sorrow for Salvation is by God’s decision and God’s decision is based on what He sees (1 Samuel 16:7).

Some things that God delights in seeing:

obedience (1 Samuel 15:22)

repentance (2 Chronicles 7:13-14; Jeremiah 18:7-10; Jonah 3:10) humility,

and we know He looks on the heart motive.

Psalms 15 and Isaiah 33:15; Isaiah 33:18.

These give an elaboration of this answer, which is remarkable, because it expresses in language so clear that a child may understand it.

It is simply that the only service, the only character which can be thought worthy of such a habitation, is that which conforms itself to the laws of:

truth,

honesty,

humility,

justice,

love.

Millenia have passed, Jerusalem has fallen, the Jewish monarchy, its priesthood with its rituals and religion have been missing, yet Davids words by which all wise and good men would measure the worth and value of men remain.

Only those that are truly His.

Only those that love and trust Him enough to continue to abide in Him, through obedience and love.

Those who, knowing His word, loving it, and living it, will speak it, without fear or compromise.

Those who answered His call to true Holiness/set-apartness.

Sadly it is not those who claim to be His and yet do not obey His commands, or continually follow His Way.

He is still calling with the open invitation, yet only a few will come. Matt. 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.

The truth is clear that if we are in sin we cannot stand in His Holy/Kadosh place. A Holy God does not live where sin is, and we must be filled with His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, clothed with His Spirit, that robe of righteousness –

the correct wedding garment.

Once we let the light of His love and glory shine upon us, in us and through us, all will be revealed to us that we need to do to remain His.

We are to run to His light today and be so full, that others will see this light and want it for themselves. this is what He calls us to do, reveal the light of Jesus to the world.

Being of service to others – by being a servant that is how to be the true bride/challah of the King, holy – without spot or wrinkle. Holiness unto the Lord – this is also engraved on the crown of the High Priest.

Dedicated and single minded.

Like both Esther/Hadassah and Jesus/Yeshua.

He is faithful and true.

Doesn’t He deserve the same attributes and character from His bride to be? And surely why He asks if will He find faith(fullness) in His servants when He comes? Luke 18:8.

Being faithful means to be true to one’s word or promises, be steady in allegiance, and be consistent with the truth. A faithful person is loyal, reliable, trustworthy, and believable. From a Spiritual perspective, faithful means to literally be full of faith.

Faithful if necessary unto death…

https://www.minimannamoments.com/who-was-hadassah/

Matt 24:42-51; Mark 13:34-37; Luke 12:35-48.

The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times? Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

It immediately preceeds the parable of the 10 virgins which has a similar eschatological theme of being prepared for the day of reckoning.

What is the meaning of being a Servant?

Servant in the New Testament is the correct translation of 3 Greek words: Diakonos oiketays and doulos.

These three words are worlds apart because

Diakonos is also translated as minister and Deacon while

doulos and oiketays are also translated slave,

meaning bond servant.

An oiketays was a bond servant who was only a household servant: a maid, a Cook, a nurse, a butler or similar work.

A bond servant is a person who has been purchased for a specific time or job.

We are to be serving the servant King.

In the late 1800s it was common for people in Europe to agree to work for an American Company for a specified time in payment for their passage to the USA.

A believer is to be this bond servant for the Lord in the sense that we are obligated totally to Him because our Redeemer purchased us with His blood/His life. He is more than an employer because He has each of us under contract/covenant.

This is different from slavery because we have free will and can the break contract if we desire.

In Romans Paul wrote to Titus, in Jacobs letter to Peter and Jude also starts by referring to the author as a doulos, a bond servant of God or Yeshua.

The relationship to people is as a diakonos and some translations use servant/minister to illustrate this point.

A minister is ordained to serve people, as Jesus/Yeshua came to serve, not to be served. Matthew 20:28

In the Hebrew scriptures, the references to slaves are overwhelmingly to bond servants and specifically that meaning.

In Greek and Roman law, slaves were possessions, like furniture, that an owner could treat however he wanted to, even killing a slave was not considered a crime.

In Scripture, the slaves were bond servants who had to be set free if they were injured. Exodus 21:26:27.

Every Hebrew bond servant was released in the seventh year and all bond servants were released in the Jubilee 50th year.

Ezekiel 27:13 is The only reference to slavery in the Hebrew Scriptures, where the phrase nefesh adam is used, it’s commonly translated as human lives or human souls.

In the New Testament the only reference to Greek and Roman slavery is in Revelation 18:13 where the Greek word somata is used of the merchants weeping over the loss of their wealth with the destruction of Babylon.

Here it is speaking of them as possessions which was the case with slavery and was not only in Greece and Rome but also in other countries. This was not the slavery of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Hammash is a Hebrew word that means servant. shammash (also spelled “shammas”) As in servant candle on the menorah.

Also He was the Branch as the branch of the menorah and the branches of the myrtle/haddasah/Esther, as well as other trees, mentioned in Nehemiah 8:15; were to be used as construction for the booths!

The booths/tabernacles, the sukkahs, the temporary shelters, for the final feast of succot which represents God tabernacling/dwelling with His people.

Hebrew Words for Servant:

 Ehbed

עֶבֶד

and

Sharath

שָׁרַת

The Hebrew word for ‘Servant’ is משרת (meh-sha-ret) for male and משרתת (meh-sha-reh-tet) for female.

This is used mainly for domestic servants and is not considered politically correct anymore so we say rather someone is a person employed by another to perform tasks and duties serves only at the employers pleasure as they are not related to the one they are working for.

The first time God called someone My Servant, is in Job 1:8

The book of Job is considered the oldest of the books and immediately we read that haSatan /adversary is in the Courts of Heaven. 

He doesn’t own up to anything specific but only that he has been going to and fro about his business as the prince of this world. When Satan least expected it, an irresistible opportunity is dangled in front of his eyes and he doesn’t waste any time taking the bait as he seeks to enlarge his own reputation at the expense of what he erroneously imagines is an incorrect assessment of Gods Servant Job.

Job 1:8:

 The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.”

Surely it aggravated Satan that God had built a hedge of protection around righteous Job. We know that because of his instant response and not needing to even check Job out…

“Take down the hedge of protection and stretch forth your hand and take away all his blessings and he will curse you to your face” 

“I will not do that” reported the Lord.  “But I will allow you to do your worst against Job except you must not take his life.”

No doubt Satan immediately rushed out eager to begin doing his worst against the one man that God considered precious in His sight.

The one who God called, My Servant Job.

Genesis 18:1-3. The Hebrew word Servant is in the story of the Lord appearing unto Abraham to announce the soon arrival of the Promised Son!

And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

Ehbed   דבֶעֶ

Ayin beyt and dalet

Dalet/daleth beyt/bet/beit ayin

(or Avdi) Remember b is also a letter v.

The word servant used for Moses is

Ehbed and indicates ownership.

It is often used as a term to describe a bond-servant or a slave who has been set free by the owner but chooses by his/her freewill to remain with his owner and serve him out of love and devotion.

Both Joshua and Moses are called servants the one for Moses is Ehbed;

but the word used for Joshua is very different, it is Sharath. This tells us more about each of them and their ministries.

Joshua 1:1,2 opens with a command to the new leader.

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

In this verse the Hebrew word ehbed is servant and used for Moses indicating ownership.  (As we just saw above, it’s often used to describe a bond-servant who has been set free but chooses to remain with his owner and serve him out of love and devotion.)

The word used for Joshua is very different it is Sharath. The word here which is translated as Moses’ minister, also means servant; but refers to a high ranking servant, who directly and personally ministers to his master.

Genesis 9: 25 is the first place where the word Ehbed is used

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Ehbed of Ehbed means Servant of servants and reveals the consequences of the sin of Canaan/Cain. This being that he is destined to never again serve God, his true master, but instead he will be forced to serve only other servants. It will not be his free will choice but he will be forced to serve out of duty and not out of love and devotion. This indicates he will be the lowest of servants.

Ehbed is spelled Ayin Beyt Dalet.

A look at the pictographs may give some more insight.

Ayin is the picture of the eye and means to see, to know, or to experience.

Beyt is the picture of the tent and indicates a family or a dwelling place, and is the first letter in the Torah that identifies the Son of God.

Dalet is the picture of the doorway and points to a pathway, a gate, a place of decision, or a place where change can take place.

The pictographs reveal the meanings of the original Hebrew words show in the word Ehbed that Moses could willingly choose to serve God because he had not only experienced Him but had come to know God the Son and in this relationship he came to a place of decision. Moses was the author of the accounts in Genesis of Abraham and Jacob and their meetings with God in the flesh, which seems to be indicating the person of Jesus/Yeshua as the preincarnate Messiah.

Genesis 39:4 is the first place Sharath is found. When in Egypt, Jacobs son Joseph, was serving as a personal slave to Pharaoh’s captain of the guard, Potifer.

And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.

Sharath translates as the word served and tells us Joseph was a high ranking and trusted slave even though he was in a foreign land.

The conditions Joseph was in and the grace extended to him indicates he must have served with whole-hearted devotion.

in Exodus 33:11.  Joshua showed this same whole-hearted devotion towards Moses

And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

The verses in Exodus 24:13 & 33:11 tell us that in the Tabernacle Joshua was in Gods presence with Moses and on the mountain.

Joshua was there to serve Sharath Moses wherever he went.

Sharath is spelled Sheen Reysh Tav.

And the pictographs of Sharath reveal the following:

Sheen/Shin is the picture of teeth and means to destroy or to press and is the one letter God uses to identify Himself.

Reysh/Resh is the picture of the head and stands for the leader, the highest, the most important, or the prince.

Tav is the picture of crossed wooden sticks and symbolizes a covenant, a sign, or a cross and can mean to seal.

The pictographs of Sharath reveal how devoted Joshua was in his service to Moses. 

At this point we need to remind ourselves that Joshua is a type of Jesus/Yeshua. Joshua served with the same loving devotion that the Son of God would show His Father as He went to the cross.

Hidden in the pictographs was the mystery kept for us, so that we could see that it was written so long ago. Declaring that in loving devotion to His Heavenly Father, Jesus/Yeshua would go to His death on the cross of His own free will.

The Sharath /servant, Messiah would by doing so fulfill the Father’s plan of salvation for all those under the curse of sin.

Known also as the suffering servant.

Remembering that each Hebrew letter is also a number, we can gain a little further insight.

The letter Sheen is the number 300 and signifies the final blood sacrifice of the Perfect Lamb of God.

The letter Reysh is the number 200 and balances the complete sufficiency of God with the insufficiency of man.

Tav is the number 400 and stands for a divinely ordained period of time that will bring about deliverance and renewal.

Here we see a summing up of the plan of God:

the blood sacrifice of Jesus/Yeshua, the Lamb of God, will be sufficient to deliver fallen man from the bondage of sin and bring us to a new life in Him.

There is one more mystery we can now see makes sense.

(And as there is no word for coincidence in Hebrew as everything is considered part of Gods plan.)

It is more than interesting that of all the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph Beyt; the last 3 letters

sheen reysh tav

make up the word Sharath.

Just as the first three letters Aleph Beyt Gimel stand for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and begin/genesis our story,

av ben ruach

father son spirit

the last 3 show us there will be a

Servant

sheen reysh tav

Sh-r-th

Sharath

No we know who will finish this story for us:

the Son Yeshua will be Sharath to the Father

and will finish the plan of salvation

at the Tav,

the wooden cross.

Servant

  Dalet     Beyt       Ayin

   4          2            70

the meaning of the three letters in the Hebrew word we translate into English as Servant.

Ayin

To See     Know    Experience
To Understand

Beyt

The House or Tent

God the Son

Dalet

Jesus/Yeshua The Door that Leads to Eternal Life…

God has placed a hidden in plain sight revelation at the root of the picture meaning of the word Servant.

This revealing/apocalypse, is meant to cause us to re-examine the concept from God’s vantage point and to understand the ultimate purpose of a servant, ehbed.

Recall earlier, that servant is defined in the dictionary as “a person employed by another to perform duties, most often those duties are domestic.”

The servant is the one person who is welcomed into the home in order to assist in the smooth management of the household. The servant is not related to the master of the household but serves at his pleasure.

Hebrew Word Picture for the Servant is below and gives another picture of a servant.

 there is a discernible difference in the meaning:

To see, know and experience the Home of the Prince of Heaven, the Son of God by entering into the Door that sets us on the path/WAY to heaven and eternal life.

God called Job My Servant.

BUT

Job had not seen, known or experienced the home of the Prince of Heaven, the Son of God…or had he??

Had Job entered the door that leads to Eternal Life? Actually the answer is YES, if we consider Jobs declaration of faith in the Redeemer as recorded in:

Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

Therefore it should surely follow that those who are God’s servants here on earth will one day see, know and experience heaven. But we know our Heavenly Father is not looking for domestic servants in shamayim/heaven.

So what is God’s plan for His servants here on earth?

If it were not promised in the Scriptures over and over again, the answer is almost too incredible to voice, because the answer is, that the God who called Job, My Servant, would one day call Job His adopted son!

His spiritual future destiny was to call his Creator Father, Abba, Av /Avinu, his Heavenly Father.

Job’s

spiritual future destiny is also our

spiritual future destiny…

if we love God and have put our faith and trust in His only begotten Son; who came to undo the curse brought into the world by Satan and sin; and redeem us from it by His own blood.

Messiahs promise to His disciples:

John 15:15

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Listen to what Yeshua/Jesus says to us:

John 1:11

He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

First, Yeshua/Jesus came as the servant of all

and now we understand the fuller meaning of the mystery contained in the Ancient Hebrew Pictograph word pictures.

His servant heart preceded His Coronation

and so too does ours!

The king is coming!

Now we understand what a servant is, even though we are also His friends, let us be found faithful servants; discerning the fullness of His calling on our lives as we each serve Him in all truth as a bond-servant…..

ONE who has been set free but chooses to remain with his owner and serve him out of love and devotion.

Bond servants – ehbed and sharath

for the coming king of kings and Lord of Lords.

We Have this BLESSED ASSURANCE!

The suffering servant Ehbed and Sharath

will return as our Conquering King! 

THIS IS our story.. 

THIS IS our song!

How Marvelous How Wonderful!

Please don’t leave this page before you commit to be His bond servant and if you are not sure you can be.

Shalom, shalom, mishpachah!

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

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

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

In Times of Need and During Days of Uncertainty …. Who’s Got Our VAV?

Who’s got our Vav?

This reference to the Hebrew Alefbet is because the letter Vav also has the numerical value for 6.

This is a military term for fellow soldiers and all military personnel meaning basically, who has your back/ blind side covered is: your 6.

This is by way of saying during combat situations, I’ve got your 6 or, watch your six.

 

I’ve got your six was a phrase first used in the U.S. Armed forces Basically means “I’ve got your back.” It comes from the old pilot system in which directions correspond to hours on the clock, where 12 o’clock is forward and 6 o’clock is behind.

Thus anyone behind you is at your six. Six o’clock is straight behind you and sets up the best strike zone. WWI pilots were the first to say, “I got your six,” meaning

they’ve got you covered so the enemy can’t come up behind your back and kill you.

It declares a story of loyalty. . . I’m loyal to you. I’ve got you covered.

Sometimes 4 paws help out too!

As we are in the spiritual battle of the ages it also applies to everyone who has accepted salvation through Jesus/Yeshua’s Atoning Blood. In case we weren’t already aware, that was the moment when we automatically became part of the army of the Lord; we are in a battle, a spiritual one that continually spills over into the natural realm.

 Ps 18:18 Amplified Version.

They confronted and came upon me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my STAY and SUPPORT.

This is an interesting point: 18 is 3×6 and used twice for this Psalm reference.

Vav is the 6th letter of the alef bet and has that numerical value; recall, they are interchangeable in the Hebrew language.

So we have vav vav vav twice. The paleo pictograph for VAV is a PEG meaning:

to: add, secure, hook, stake, nail, a tent peg, joining together becoming bound or nailed to.

This is a securing item, something that keeps something else in place; and something we can fasten something to. So we, as 6’s, (also the number of man), can fasten our hope/tikvah to it like an anchor/ogehn and securely attach our faith to His promises including that of protection for our 6/Vav/back.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-secret-of-the-ogehn-of-tiqvah/

Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace/Shalom

whose mind is

stayed firmly

and

securely fastened

on Thee because he trusteth in thee.

Isaiah 26:3. This is connected to Eph. 6 and also with feet being shod with peace/shalom and having the mind covered by the helmet of salvation.

So who’s really got our backs, our 6, our Vav in times of war and conflict?

In Psalms – Mizmor LDavid

מזמור  לדוד 

 

In Psalm 91:4 we read of the buckler

 

Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary 

Buc”kler\, n. [OE. bocler, OF. bocler, F. bouclier, a shield with a boss, from OF. bocle, boucle, boss. See Buckle, n.]

A kind of shield, of various shapes and sizes, worn on one of the arms (usually the left) for protecting the front of the body.

The Medieval Buckler is in throat area, sword extended. Buckler extended, sword kept back. good pose to wind up a powerful strike. if you look carefully, you see that the fighter is looking over the shield at the enemy. His sword arm is protected, but not impeded by the shield. This large shield covers the body.

Buckler shield was one of the most common medieval shields and was specifically useful for swordsmen because of its lightweight structure. It was designed to deflect the attacking blades and could be easily controlled.

Buckler definition is – a small round shield held by a handle at arm’s length. How to use buckler in a sentence.

The shield was adapted and made larger in size so that the soldier could protect his foreleg as well as his torso while in combat.

 

He is our buckler*

A buckler*. (*Heb. ‘Buckler’ means, ’that which goes around’, a very large shield to protect the whole body on 3 sides. The Lord gives full protection).  

And mentioned also in Psalm 23 where we are told the rod and staff fend off the enemies and also direct and rescue and comfort us respectively.

Recall the relevance of rod/branch and staff from recent posts.

We are to remain under the shadow of His wings and in that safe place we are to abide.

For more click on link below:

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-secret-of-the-letting-down-of-wings/

However if we do venture out onto the battlefield, which is unavoidable, we need to know that His protection is over us. One of the most well known and most quoted scriptures pertaining to protection is in Ephesians 6:12-18.

And this same shield is also referred to in that scripture.

For a moment, let’s clear our minds from what we think we know of this familiar scripture and look at it with fresh eyes.

Ephesians 6:10-19 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the Power of His Might. PUT ON the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

NOTE: He does not say to wear it for a certain length of time!

Nor does he say to take it off again!

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,

but against principalities,

against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this age,

against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God,

that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,

and having done all,

to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth,

having put on the breastplate of Righteousness,

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace;

above all, taking the shield of Faith

with which you will be able to quench all

the fiery darts of the wicked one.

And take the helmet of Salvation,

and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,

being watchful to this end with all

perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

and for me, that utterance may be given to me,

that I may open my mouth boldly

to make known the mystery of the Gospel.

We need to be sure not only that we are familiar with this scripture but that we are proficient with its’ meaning, operation and its’ defenses. We need to know that His gospel of shalom/peace, is on our feet. Shalom being the opposite of RA, which is out of harmony with the Lord.

Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace/Shalomwhose mind is stayed firmly and securely fastened on Thee because he trusteth in thee. Isaiah 26:3

Shalom – nothing missing nothing broken. Recall the full definition from previous posts or click link below to read it:

https://www.minimannamoments.com/shalom-ha-makem-the-place-for-our-life-to-mature/

Like every piece of equipment if we don’t use it correctly and apply the makers instructions, it does not work efficiently and operate how it’s supposed to and designed to. In order to get the best results from anything, we have to make sure we are following the manufacturers instructions/directions. if we don’t use these recommendations, very often we have to dig out those instructions and dust them off when things go wrong! This is usually because we didn’t take the time to fully familiarize ourselves with the equipment before hand.

In Eph 6, we often focus on the items themselves and not on their function and purpose.

The battle we are in is VERY real and it is not going to get easier or stop until Messiah returns. When we suddenly find ourselves in the midst of a surprise attack, that is not the time to wonder where our weapon is; or to not be certain our defenses are in position.

Helmet of salvation – keep your mind focused on Him.

Breastplate of righteousness – assurance of right standing before Him.

Belt of truth – His Word in us, memorized scriptures that are relevant to a given situation.

Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. The Peace that passes all understanding to garrison, guard and keep our thoughts and direction in line with His Will.

These are all defensive pieces of armor.

The only offensive part is the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God, that is spoken scripture coming out of our mouth/pey, speaking forth His Word.

We are not fighting flesh and blood and so this battle cannot be fought with physical weapons. The only thing we need offensively is His Word. and who is the word? Jesus/Yeshua.

It is not a natural conflict, this war is not of this world, so we need supernatural weapons and supernatural protection. This armor once spiritually applied, should never be removed. Nowhere does it ever say to take it off again! Therefore we need only confirm and affirm verbally that it is in place every night before we sleep and every morning before our feet touch the floor.

As each piece has a meaning to our spiritual health and wellbeing, we are responsible to make sure that we are secure and that we are walking in repentance, which keeps us under the Blood of Jesus/Yeshua and all that His Blood does for us.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/scripture-based-prayers/

This shield is a large curved one that covers front and 2 sides of the soldiers body

however,

our back is not covered

and therefore vulnerable.

Does this mean there is no protection at our backs??

– Fear NOT!

BUT God!

He has made provision for that also, and in knowing this, it establishes His shalom in us. Nothing missing or broken and He keeps us in perfect Shalom/Peace.

So what is this extra protection?

Our Heavenly Father is concerned about detail so here is His answer to

the only part

not covered

in Eph. 6 armor.

It’s the rereward.

And we find it in Isaiah 58:8

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedy: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rere-ward.

and

For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward. Is 52:12

This is a portion of the blessing and favor that Isaiah declared would result when Israel turned back to walk with God in true repentance.

Shall be thy rere-ward  

Shall gather thee up.

That is, shall bring up the rear, the glorious power and providence of God, preserving his people; or the glorious Lord himself, our Lord Jesus Christ, the brightness of His Father’s glory, He, as the Word may be rendered,

shall gather thee

He gathers His people to Himself;

He protects and defends them;

He takes care of the weak and feeble, and that are straggling behind;

and He brings them up, being the reward,

and saves them. 

 Our rereward / rearguard.

(Rearguard of an army is to give protection on the march.)

His Glory is also our protection/ rereward

(going before and coming after or behind us in the form of His Goodness and Mercy.)

 

Is there is any further meaning in the pictographs?

The word rereward

in Hebrew is

acaph

and this word is used throughout the scriptures.

It means: to gather or collect.

In some scriptures, it also gives the idea of:

gathering together by,

(as we would coin the phrase) bringing up the rear.

In some translations, the phrase, the rear guard is used instead.

The word acaph is made up of

alef sameach and fey/pey

Or

Aleph Samech Pey.

(This is simply a optional/different spelling of the same letters.)

אָסַף

and is pronounced  aw-saf’.

The paleo Hebrew pictographs, (word pictures,) reveal the images of:

An Ox, a Prop and a Mouth. (Read left to right).

Aleph/Alef     

 is the picture of the ox    

and has the meaning of:

the strong leader or God the Father.

 

Samech/Sameach   

is the picture of a prop   

 

a support maybe a spine with ribs?    

and means:

to support, sustain to twist slowly, or to turn. 

 

Pey/Fey   

is the picture of the mouth   

and means:

to speak or a word.

Pei-hei: Peh  – open mouth –

to declare or express communication spoken written a letter or letters a language word or words. Articulated vocalized distinct definite and manifested.

Second part Hei: to reveal make known or be evident.

Combining the meanings of the letters Alef/Aleph and Samech/Sameach from the pictogram/pictographs; 

it could be interpreted and indicate that:

a strong leader is speaking, or declaring he will support or uphold someone.

This strong leader, is our Heavenly Father, Who promises His support to those who turn to Him in true repentance in a special way.

As well as the letter Samech being a picture of a support, something that is able to prop up something else, the idea is also given that the support has a twist or turning in it.

The picture given here by the Samech/prop, could represent that: the glory of the LORD will be gathered, turned and/or twisted around His people in protection.

What a truly amazing promise giving us a clear visual form!

As everything is connected, another link is also noted with Samech; recall the posts focusing on the Menorah, the Almond Tree, Oil and Olive Tree, the source of Light/AWR and Life/CHAIM and the Branch/Choter:

As a newborn must nurse to receive nourishment for survival and growth so must we. As we are born again and desire the milk of His Word. Like the new born child we must latch on firmly grasping and holding on to the SOURCE of that nourishment and ABIDE in His Name and His Word.

The attachment is the process of grafting into the Gephen/Vine/the Olive Tree. He is the Light /AWR of our Life, and the Source of all life His Lifes/Chaim in us.

Click link below for more on chaim
 https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-mysteries-of-im/

The menorah the lampstand is a supporter of the oil which gives light and is representative of our life in Him.

Samech – the source – like the menorah

contains the

shemen שמן

The Holy Anointing Oil

Shin Mem Nun

SHIN: His essence or being power intense dynamic like blazing fire a force a whirlwind. Dispensing provision source of being.

MEM hidden concealed the place where the seed is planted nurturing developing then trauma incubation ripening and birth

NUN birthing brought forth suddenly

His essence of being tremendous and powerful the source of being concealed

like a time of incubation

until the time of ripening

a birth brought forth in new life

His Name is in the Oil in the Shemen

SHEM N

shemen שמן – Samech Mem Nun–

and in this,

Messiah’s Name is brought forth!

Because in Hebrew it is: שמן המשחה

shemen ha-mishchah, “oil of anointing”

המשחה

ha-mishchah

Mashiach or Messiah!

Strong’s Hebrew: 8081. שָׁ֫מֶן (shemen) — fat, oil

Shemen afarsimon was a prized oil used in antiquity.

It’s mentioned in Psa.133 as the “precious ointment”

The holy anointing oil,

(Hebrew: שמן המשחה 

shemen ha-mishchah,

“oil of anointing”)

formed an integral part of the ordination of the priesthood and the High Priest as well as in the consecration of the articles of the Tabernacle (Exodus 30:26) and subsequent temples in Jerusalem.

 Who is our High Priest?

The Menorah also stands as a support for the Holy Anointing oil and the Light that comes forth from it. The Light of the world is Messiah Yeshua/Jesus.

There are Spiritual Principles incorporated here:

Faithfully completing the task assigned with patient endurance – like the trellis for the vine, it is the structure that supports and continually upholds.

John 15:1-10 Tells us of The Vine and its’ Branches. The Vine is its Life SUPPORT. The Source of Life.

If the Branch does not heed and complete the directions fulfilling the makers instructions, the patterns inbuilt inn the DNA, which are both unique and integral to that seed, will not result in the production of fruit ,or replicate itself.

The Source of Life is in the Instructions.

The Branch that does not follow instructions is cut off/pruned.

Never to bear fruit.

Fruit is only produced by the Branch that stays attached to the source getting its life from the source. 

To have oil or wine the fruit must be pressed.

Like the Menorah we need oil to produce light. So Not only will not following instructions mean not producing fruit, nor wine, nor oil; it is also is death and these are eternal principles.

And do not fear those who kill the basar (flesh), but are unable to kill the nefesh (soul); but rather fear the One who is able to destroy both basar and nefesh in Gehinnom.

Matt. 10:28; that is spiritual death literally, separation from the Father – the source of lifes/chaim.

Fear the Lord in an attitude or reverence and respect for Who He Is not as in afraid.

Rising up like sap through the vine and giving life to us the grafted in Branches which bring forth fruit. He alone is the source of our life, the branches must remain connected to the Vine, the source, or they will wither and perish. And of course we are not neglecting the alert embedded in the almond branch watch be alert and ready!

Our Heavenly Father knows that we may be able to defend ourselves from those things that come at us from the front. Those are the attacks that we can see, however, God promises to protect and defend us from all attacks that come against us from behind, from the direction of our rear, where we cannot always see.

Our VAV, our 6, is a blind spot for us but not for Him.

The scripture says that His glory, His manifested presence, His Shekinah, His Ruach HaKodesh, provides a hedge of protection that cannot be breached or broken through by anything, as long as we are honoring our part of His Covenant with us.

Another very interesting reference to Acaph is found in Judges 18:25 and records where the children of Dan threaten to kill Micah and the inhabitants of Laish whom they have just robbed.

Here the word Acaph is translated as lose, and in this scripture context, it means not only: to gather, but, to gather for destruction.  

It could be said to mean that even though God the Father promises to support and be the rear guard to those that return to Him and walk in true repentance; we see from the scripture, that His glory can also gather in order to take away. So it can mean destruction for those that come against God’s faithful people. 

Another promise of Him looking after the safety of His people and ensuring their victory.

And for those who choose to return to their God and turn from their disobedience, the promise increases to impart even more blessing.

Because each letter has a unique numerical value, we can add to our understanding of the pictographs. It is found in the meaning of the numbers that each of these letters represent.

(Reading right to left.)

אָסַף

80 60 1

Aleph/Alef is the number 1 

and refers to: deity, unity, sufficiency, and God the Father.

Samech/Sameach is the number 60 

and stands for: pride.

Gaon  גַּאֲוָה

גֵּוָה gevah

 עֲנָוָה humility anavah

Pey/Fey is the number 80

and is: 8 x 10,

or, a new beginning

or a new birth ordained in heaven.

Adding the meaning of the numbers together with those we have already from the pictograms; it could be said that:

Alef/God the Father, fey/pey/, states that He will samech/ surround and support those who choose to follow Him faithfully. Not only will He sameach/surround and protect His people with His glory, but the enemy 60 will be sameach/gathered and taken away for destruction.

We know that man’s worst enemy is his own pride, so our Heavenly Father will gather/ sameach and destroy man’s pride/60 with His glory, and instead offer man a new beginning 80 pey fey and a new birth/ 80 /pey /fey.

The promise of safety, protection and security that is hidden in the word Acaph was to one day come through His Son. This of course we know has happened and Yeshua/Jesus said it.

Recorded in John 17:1-5

Glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You— 2 just as You gave Him authority over all flesh in order that as to all that You have given Him, He may give eternal life to them. 3 And this is eternal life: that they may be knowing You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ Whom You sent-forth.

Paul also speaks of it confirming in Col. 1:27.

To whom God would make known what the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

So who has our 6 – our Vav?

Our Heavenly Father God Does!

He covers that which is behind as well as going before us.

The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Isaiah 45:1-13

Remember …NOW we are certain that not only does The Lord go before us, He is behind us, He is around us, beside us, above us  and underneath us are His everlasting arms.

That is complete protection!

Be encouraged!

Be Strong in the Lord and in the power of His Might.

It’s the position He takes behind us and anyone looking at us from the front will be aware of the One who stands behind us. He protects us where we cannot see and where the enemy may try to attack.

When we are in the armor no one can see who is inside that suit!

Prayer example/option:

Adonai/Lord, Avinu/Abba/Father in the Name of Yeshua/Jesus, cover me with your atoning blood and reveal to me the weapons at my disposal. When the enemy tries to attack, remind me of the authority You have given me in your Word and through Jesus/Yeshua’s victory. I know I am seated in heavenly places spiritually, help me to be victorious for Your Glory that I may continue to serve in Your kingdom not mine. I trust completely in the authority and power you have placed in me by Your Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit. Thank you that You are with me in times of need, trouble and uncertainty, You have my back covered.

Included below for easy reference, are some scriptures from the Psalms, Isaiah and Deut.

We would do well to learn these and hide His Word in our hearts, as this is the Sword that we will need to employ. This is the offensive weapon we are to speak forth, while Father has our 6/Vav/ He is our Acaph.

Promises

Isaiah 51:3The LORD will comfort Israel again and have pity on her ruins. Her desert will blossom like Eden, her barren wilderness like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found there. Songs of thanksgiving will fill the air.

Psalm 23:4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley,I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Our Refuge is in the Lord.

Psalm 62:6-8 Truly He is my Rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

Psalm 91:4-5He will cover you with his feathers, and under His wings yo will find refuge. His truth is your shield and armor. You do not need to fear terrors of the night, arrows that fly during the day,

Fear not!

It’s not a suggestion! It’s a command!

Deuteronomy 3:22 Ye shall not fear them: for the Lord your God he shall fight for you.

Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.

Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 91:1-16 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

and from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

and under His wings you shall take refuge.

His Truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.

Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place,

no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.

For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him.

I will be with him in trouble I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My Salvation.”

Mizmor l’David Hashem Roi

Psalm 23 

 מִזְמור לְדָוִד, ה׳ רֹעִי (תהילים כ”ג)

 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

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

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

 

 

 

Midweek Mannabite – A Time For Everything

Matthew 1:23

They shall called His Name Emmanuel.

Matt. 1:23; Luke 1:35

Hallelujah’s fill the air.

A star leads the way.

A Mother’s tired sigh,

And a baby soft cry

Shepherds kneel and wise men bow

And the heavenly host sing,

For in the Bethlehem manger

Is the newborn King.

Thank God He came…

Luke 2:10, 11

https://www.minimannamoments.com/because-he-came/

This story would have ended at Malachi in The Bible if Messiah Jesus/Yeshua had not come.

May our hearts and prayers reach out to the ends of the earth, to those who have no ‘Christmas day’, in that they have no good news of the Savior King.

Nehemiah 8:10

“Send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared”.

He was born INTO this world not FROM it.

He did not emerge OUT of history.

He came INTO history FROM the outside.

He is not man BECOMING God, He is God incarnate BECOMING INTO human flesh FROM OUTSIDE it.

He must also COME INTO us from OUTSIDE. Galatians 4:19

All lives must become a

Bethlehem for God’s Son –

A house of bread..

we must be born again. John 3:7

For all those who are tired and weary at this time, or those who are alone during this season. Be encouraged and know that He sees you and loves you very much.

Consider 1Kings 19:7

For this is what He did for His tired servant.

The journey is too great for thee and I am going to refresh you.

He gave him something good to eat and put him to sleep.

Elijah had done an amazing thing but it has been too much for his physical strength; and then the inevitable result became clear and he became depressed.

Every human being has a physical need to be cared for and what many people want and need is a good nights sleep, plus whatever else ails them physically needs to be attended to.

Throughout the generations many have ended up under the Juniper tree!

Here is where it is very soothing to hear the words of Jesus.

The journey is too great for you and I am going to refresh you.

He also told His disciples to..

Come apart and rest awhile. Mark 6:31

Here we must remember not to confuse physical weariness with spiritual weakness.

There comes a time when we need to recharge our batteries…

Be encouraged while reading the following lines:

When we are too tired to trust and too tired to pray and our over taxed strength gives way, the thought comes to mind, just drop it all and rest.

Then we wonder if God will forgive us if we go right to sleep just as a baby does, without asking if we may and without even trying to trust and pray.

We should remember that before we could even talk those raising us did not deny us needed rest and did not refuse to cradle us while we slept.

Those watching over us were quick to see what we needed and to make provision for our natural necessities and to guard us and keep us safe.

It’s okay to just drop it all and give up to rest – Our Heavenly Father knows all about it and we just need to go to sleep as a baby does.

He knows when His child is too tired to pray and does not judge us alone by the prayers we say, because He knows our innermost heart.

  1. He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3.  And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” 

He knows when we do pray and He knows when we do trust and He knows the limits of our human bodies. This was evident in the garden when He told His disciples to take their rest, while He took upon Himself the burden that no one else could bear.

Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Matthew 26:45

If we are saved then we have given our life up to Him to keep, so we don’t need to be afraid to go right to sleep.

Ps 37:7 Rest in the LORD because rest allows our mind, body, and soul to renew and then continue with even more strength and focus. 

Psalm 27

Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Is 40:29 The LORD gives strength to those who are weary. 

He strengthens those who are weak and tired. He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless. He’s the one who gives might to the faint, renewing strength for the powerless.

Rest in the Lord.

He knows you are facing challenges.

He’s just waiting for you to run to Him. The Savior understands.

In fact, as the word of God says in Hebrews 4:15, He is touched by the feeling of our infirmities. The Lord empathizes with you. You are not alone.

Just be quiet and confident in Him, be anxious for nothing and cast all your cares upon Him.

Psalm 4:8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety. 

And I shall lie down and sleep, because you, Lord Jehovah, make me dwell alone in stillness.

I fall asleep in peace the moment I lie down because you alone, O LORD, enable me to live securely.

Shalom – peace and rest to all family and friends!

Let the love of Our Heavenly Father sustain and encompass us as we learn to rest in Him and He will give us strength.

Please Don’t leave this page until you are certain He is the giver of your rest. 

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

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

NOT SURE?

YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

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

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

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 ?

http://www.mysterious-skystone.com/?p=4

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

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23231014-700-deepest-water-found-1000km-down-a-third-of-way-to-earths-core/

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.

Shalom Mishpachah, and a special thank you for your prayers, the technical issues seem to have finally been resolved!

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.
