It’s My Birthday…But Which One?

And …

which one will we celebrate?

Two of the most asked questions are:

how old are you

and when is your birthday?

we are usually very quick to tell everyone when… 

It’s My Birthday!!!

BUT which one are we referring to?

Every person on earth has some kind of record of birth,  a birth certificate – certificate of live birth. Documentation that they are legitimately, physically, a person alive and separate from their mother’s womb.

Taken literally we should add 9 months to the child’s life, as life begins at conception; and the baby is alive in the mother’s womb here on the earth. So in actual fact, an individual is not 0 years at birth but 9 months more or less, depending on the exact time of exiting the womb. Doesn’t it seem strange to count 0 at birth??

The certificate or documentation or record usually details the time in hours and minutes, recording the weight, the place/location, country; the day, month and year as well as the names of the parents. It’s very precise because the birth was precise and evident to any one present. The leaving of one environment – the womb, into another – the world, is undeniable. We celebrate the date of the birth and every year after on that same day.

The baby has no clue until told at an age they can understand, why the date is remembered and so it is for everyone else. Every year for the rest of our lives. Why do we do this? It’s a strange custom.

Did Messiah Jesus, His disciples and followers do this? Is it scriptural/biblical? Is there a reaction in heaven?

The only noted reaction in heaven is the angels rejoicing over one soul that is saved one sinner who repents.

I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10 & Luke 15:7 I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Not when they are born in the natural, but born again from above by the Holy Spirit. Messiah Jesus/Yeshua was born from above from heaven by the Fathers Holy Spirit – He was already born again so to speak.

There is no one who has gone up to Heaven, except One who has come down from Heaven, the Son of Man whose home is in Heaven. No one has ascended into heaven, but he who descended out of heaven, the Son of Man, who is in heaven. John 3:13

Jesus/Yeshuas’ natural birth was the only one celebrated by angels! Luke 2:8-20

This is a mystery revealed to Nicodemus and Messiah states clearly that in verse 3, unless you are born again from above you cannot see the Kingdom of God. So it is of critical importance and essential for being a citizen of Gods’ Kingdom; just as in whatever location we are born physically, it’s automatically determined that you are a citizen of that country, and have a legal right to all that entire nation offers.

The point is, if we are so certain of our physical birthdate and yet were obviously too young to remember it or know it, and yet we hold it so dear; and we not only know our own birthdate, (which is tied to everything we do in the worlds system); we also know those of our siblings, parents, spouse, families and friends.

The critical question is:

When exactly was your born again from above spiritual birth day? We should ask ourselves, isn’t that more important and significant than the one that entitles us to the worlds’ resources and benefits? The world and riches/benefits that Messiah refused when it was offered to Him? Matthew 4:9; Luke 4:7.

Isn’t the fact that being born again from above essential to seeing the kingdom of heaven; and knowing not only we are forgiven, but eligible for all the future privileges and gifts of the infinite, eternal Kingdom of the living God and His Messiah?

And furthermore, that our sins are removed and we have become His child, born into a new realm by His Spirit.

Which is the most important birthday?

And why don’t we celebrate this one – the one that promises eternal life with the Father who has provided this future for us.

We are written in His book of Life our names are recorded spiritually.

“But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb‘s book of life.” Revelation 3:5.

We don’t need a paper certificate because our life should spiritually reflect our new birth and new allegiance, new ownership – new parent as we emerge from the womb of the earth/world. The world which offers only eternal death. We are born into eternal life, not death, death is separation from our Heavenly Father.

The challenge is, if we can’t pinpoint our spiritual birthdate to the same accuracy as the information and details on our physical birth certificate, why cant we??

Wasn’t it as important and as wonderful, as the natural birth? The re-birth that we should not only be cognizant of, but consciously consenting to – repenting, understanding what we were doing and what was happening to us?

The writer remembers exactly, to the minute, when this spiritual, born from above by His Spirit of Holiness experience occurred, and thanks be to our Heavenly Father and His Son, life/chaim was changed for ever. The knowing of its’ significance and consequences are so important that it will never ever be forgotten or diminished. Family, friends, do you remember your born from above moment too? If you can’t, we must ask ourselves the critical question – why not? Why can’t we remember? It’s a more sure and eternal event than our natural birth.

Ask our Father to show you, to remind you and if there is any tiny shadow of doubt as to the date maybe we should take the opportunity to ensure we are truly born again by His Spirit. Today is the day of salvation seek Him while He may be found. There is still time and it’s not too late….what have you got to lose?… Everything if you are not born again from above!

Don’t just think you are saved – KNOW that you are for a certainty.

And if you are wavering, then recommit yourself right now…record the date, the moment for yourself, then you can remind the enemy when he challenges us.

If you know your earthly, worldly, physical birthday, shouldn’t we know our spiritual birthday even more, and shouldn’t we be celebrating our spiritual birthday every year too? The natural ones will end eventually; the spiritual ones will never cease.

Let’s help each other celebrate eternal life, counting every year on our spiritual birthdates as well. The natural ones focus on the person, the spiritual focuses on the person of Messiah – the One through Whom we are alive to our Heavenly Father.

Nakdimon – Nicodemus had some questions too.

Why was he seemingly ignorant?

In John 3:34 Yeshua says to him:

unless a man be born again from above

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

He cannot see the kingdom unless his spiritual eyes are opened. Nicodemus responds with

can a man be born when he is old?

He was speaking of himself. He had come to Yeshua/Jesus seeking understanding; he had questions like we all do. He seemed like he didn’t know anything, but is that really the case?

He seemed confused as to how a man could be born again when he had reached the age of a senior citizen and had already met the Pharisee requirements to be born again!

He wasn’t saying that it wasn’t possible

he simply wanted to know HOW!

Here we must look at the background to his position. Being born again was NOT a new concept in Yeshua/Jesus’ day! There were 6 ways that one could be born again in Pharisaic Judaism. Nicodemus was already qualified in 4 of these ways and the other 2 would have been impossible for him to fulfill. (the one was that a gentile was said to be born again if he converted to Judaism or was born again if he crowned as a king.

The 4 ways in which Nicodemus did meet the criteria were

One, when a Jewish/Israelite boy becomes bar mitzvah at age 13 he is said to be born again. He had obviously already experienced his bar mitzvah and was therefore born again in that manner.

A second way was by marriage. When a Jewish/Israelite man married he was said to be born again. A member of the Sanhedrin must be married, so Nicodemus could not be born again – again, in this way, since he was already a member of the Sanhedrin.

Thirdly, a Jew/Israelite could be born again when ordained as a Rabbi, (Rabbi means teacher), so Nicodemus could not be re-ordained.

The fourth way to be born again was to become the head of a Rabbinical school. In John 3:10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things? Yeshua/Jesus was commenting that Nicodemus held the office of Rabbi/Teacher of Israel, which meant he was already head of a Rabbinical school.

Nicodemus had gone through every process available in Judaism to being born again as he understood it.

The only other option that he could be born again at his age and qualifications, was in his mind to re-enter his mothers womb and start the process all over again; which was both absurd and confusing to Nicodemus, so was he asking the question in the form of a completely ridiculous suggestion? Or, was He asking if Jesus/Yeshua was indeed the Messiah and if so, then was there some way that this was a miraculous possibility??  Whatever his thinking was, the discussion gave Messiah the opportunity to explain some spiritual truths to this already born again teacher of Israel, primarily that he still needed to be spiritually born again.

John introduces Nicodemus as one of the Pharisees, a ruler of the Jews, but one who recognizes power when he sees it and also one who comes to Yeshua/Jesus under cover of the night, so as not to be seen by his colleagues John 3:1.

As already noted, Nicodemus held the office of a teacher in Israel. He is called a ruler and is thus a rabbi, a member of the

Sanhedrin – סנהדרין

the Jewish religious court and he is mentioned in other Jewish literature e.g. Talmud.

Eventually Nicodemus was born again from above v. 3-8 coming to trust in Yeshua.

The Greek: gennethe anothen,

is sometimes rendered:

born again or born from above,

which reflects that both aspects are relevant. The concept itself is Jewish! Rabbi Shimon Ben Lakish states: A proselyte is like a newborn infant. Likewise Rabbi Yosi reminds us that in born again the idea resembles that of a new creation as also seen in 2Corinthians 5:17 and Genesis 39:11.

2Corinthians 3:5. Born from water/natural and the spirit/supernatural. In Judaism, immersion in water is directly linked to ritual cleansing of the body; while the spirit enables people to repent/turn from sin and live a holy life/separated unto the Lord. Born from water in its grammatical construction refers to the Spirit of Holiness /Ruach HaKodesh/Holy Spirit. Ezekiel 36:25-7. There is no necessary reference to the Mikveh (ritual cleansing bath) here. Rather the grammatical construction (hendiadys) indicates that water is a reference to the Spirit as in Ezekiel 36:25-7.

In John 3:10 you hold the office of teacher in Israel.

Literally you are The Teacher of Israel.

The definite article implies that Nicodemus’s position was uniquely important although it is difficult to reconstruct precisely what it was.

Strong’s Greek: 3530. Νικόδημος (Nikodémos) — Nicodemus…

Transliteration: Nikodémos Phonetic Spelling: (nik-od’-ay-mos) Definition: Nicodemus, an Israelite Usage: Nicodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin.

The name Nicodemus might mean Victory Of The People From (1) the noun νικα (nike), victory, and (2) the noun δημος (demos), [common] people.

Nicodemus was not an ignorant man and his question was very valid in light of his position. He was

seeking truth and he

found Messiah and the key to eternal life!

As we continue to seek truth let’s make certain once and for all, without any shadow of a doubt whatsoever, that we are born again by the Holy Spirit of the One True Living God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob; and that we know

both our birthdates!

This year let’s make a resolution to celebrate both of them,

rejoicing that we are our Fathers’ child forever.

So how old are you.. spiritually? And when was your spiritual birthday?

Have you been

????

With all our knowledge and understanding,

with all our studies ….

Nothing is more important than this message so,

please don’t leave here without that absolute knowledge and assurance…. 

Shalom, shalom mishpachah/family

and cheverim/friends!

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 came in the flesh, 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 from above by Your Holy Spirit and I am believing by faith that 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.

Topsy-Turvey In An Ambigram Matrix?

Was Jesus/Yeshua An Upside-Down King?

He was everything no one expected!

He was the inversion and opposite of the Messiah desired by the people who were looking for change and for freedom from the Roman Empire, under whose shadow He was born.

He came to turn the world right side up; to declare the kingdom of the heavens is both at hand/close and within us. (Luke 17:21)

Confirming John’s message of Mt. 3:1-2 in Mt. 10:7 & Mk. 1:15And to show us we have been looking at things from the wrong perspective.

Those who have eyes to see Matt. 13:9-16.

Mark 4:9; Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

Mark 8:18; Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? … “Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes, but see not, who have ears, but  hear not.

Matt. 13:16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear. 

In today’s language, He may have used the word dimension, in describing the Kingdom of the Heavens.

For He said, John 18:36; My kingdom is NOT of this world! And He came to show us the WAY to inherit that kingdom!

He was not the Warrior King but the Servant of all and the Redeemer of mankind who came to pay the ultimate price for sin…Rom. 6:23; Prov.10:16.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Messiah Yeshua / Christ Jesus our Lord. 

He came to destroy the works of the devil…

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8;

and

to restore our relationship with the Father and mandate us with the ministry of reconciliation and…

 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

Col. 1:20

..He was born to turn the world upside down!

According to John 10:10,

The works of the devil include:

the thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy everything of Father’s creation; by perverting, dis-orientating, flipping, mirroring, inverting, turning upside down, back to front, opposite, twisting and confusing.

For he is a deceiver and a liar from the beginning and the father of lies. John 8:44“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Isaiah lamented. “Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” (Isaiah 5:20-21).

The hallmarks of the Upside-Down World are:

truths changed to lies;

material things exalted above the God who made them;

plain, clear, scriptural understanding scorned

and irrational human reasoning worshiped.

The Apostle Paul put it this way: ‘Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools’ (v. 22).We really have a skewed image of the world we live in, (courtesy of the devil.) 

for deception is his M.O.Unless we view it with our spiritual eyes, hence:

Eph. 1:8 The eyes of your understanding/heart being enlightened.

To see ourselves as God sees us..

Which cannot happen unless we are born again.

Pause and think for a moment….. We come into this world through the matrix, the womb…

Remember Matrix definition is – something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form in the womb, an environment or material in which something develops; a surrounding medium or structure: the set of conditions that provides a system in which something grows or develops:

Concordance Strong’s Hebrew: 7358.

רָ֫חֶם (rechem) — womb matrix. From racham; the womb (compare racham) — matrix, womb. see HEBREW racham. 

From Latin, meaning “breeding female,”

At the time of translation, matrix meant womb in English. Ex. 13:12

Exactly how do we enter?

Through the womb

UPSIDE DOWN

through water and blood.

Through the breaking of waters gushing out and through blood in a downward direction bringing with it birth, a new life.

As He died on the cross, the skin of His side was broken, the water and blood gushed downward out from Jesus/Yeshua’s body. His Life was in The Blood poured out and brought with it a RE NEWed Life. Streaming in a downward direction, before turning and raising upwards in Resurrection life.

In Ps. 51:5, the Scriptures say that we are conceived and born in sin and if we are not converted we cannot see the kingdom of heaven. John 3:3-8

We must be turned the other way up; right side up, by being born again of water and of the spirit of God.

We are spiritually washed in His blood to erase the sin.

Then we can ascend to the kingdom of the heavens.

The way up is first down.

If we are to ascend to the heavenlies we must first get back to basics.

There is no quick fix.

This life is a PROCESS for the soul /spirit to grow and mature, to BECOME His disciple. At the start, we die – to self. Mark 4:28 is the process

Always remembering as the NUN, we must remain attached to the root. For it’s the root that supports us, it’s the Yod, source of life.. we are planted in,(grafted into), the MEM! By the work of the YOD, the HAND, we begin to become His Disciple.

We began upside down, the Way the truth and the life is to be converted.

And go upwards, just like Jesus/Yeshua and the blade. 

For this to happen

First the eyes of our soul need to be opened.

Second the eyes of our understanding need to be enlightened.

For I was blind but now I see.

Opening the eyes of the soul, to receive His Words of Life which are spiritual food, Manna to the hungry.

Psalm 146: 7-9; Isaiah 24:1 –6; the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

The enemies kingdom is perverted, inverted and reversed and it’s why it all back to front and topsy turvey.

This is why the disciples were spoken of as those who’ve turned the world upside down. Acts 17:6

The Apostle Paul recorded a scathing rebuke that has shown itself to be remarkably prophetic: He described scholars and academics “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever” (Romans 1:25).

The devil’s Upside-Down thinking and reasoning is everywhere on display. He is a master at cloaking his motives, dressing up his destructive ambitions, making them appear noble and upright. “Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light,” Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 11:14.

However, when his lies are compared against the right-side-up revelation in Scripture, the truth becomes clear.

Everything the world, the flesh and the devil have to offer, is a fake, a faxcimile, a copy of the real thing. Whether happiness, success, etc. etc. It’s his version of it and everything is distorted and rooted in a lie. He cannot create, so he takes the things of God and perverts them, twists them. It is all a distortion of reality, a complete illusion and fabrication, designed to deceive.

We are in this world not of it. The devil is the ‘god’, of this world and unless we are freed through new birth by Ruach haKodesh; we are his slaves and will remain so; trapped in the ‘prison’ after ‘entering the matrix’.

Through Jesus/Yeshua, the Father made a WAY of escape to know the TRUTH that leads to eternal LIFE and freedom from this prison. The choice is ours.

Strong’s Greek: 4151. πνεῦμα (pneuma) wind, spirit

 הַקֹּדֶשׁ     רוּחַ

ruach hakodesh 

(also transliterated ruaḥ ha-qodesh)

Our hope is in the Word of God, which promises that Jesus Christ /Messiah Yeshua, will return and set this world right-side up. The Apostle Peter called this “the times of refreshing” and “the times of restitution of all things” (Acts 3:19-21). Jesus.Yeshua Himself, called it “the regeneration” (Matthew 19:28) We must be renewed and turned upside down; which is why its called conversion.

Converted from the wrong way to the RIGHT WAY.

Before Jesus/Yeshua ascended to heaven the scripture record that He went into hell, to the ‘pit’ – then to the ‘palace’. Just like His Old Testament ‘type’, Joseph.

Jesus/Yeshua went through a full physical life. He didn’t skip the hard parts; He learned obedience by the things He suffered.

Heb. 5:8-10 Although he was a son, [Jesus] learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchi-zedek.

   https://www.minimannamoments.com/why-was-the-priest-in-the-water-conclusion-of-the-mystery/

 

The suffering Jesus/Yeshua endured during His earthy life was needed in order to learn obedience. Jesus’/Yeshua’s suffering made Him fully empathetic with the sufferings and struggles of the world, things that we endure even today. Jesus’/Yeshuas suffering qualified Him to be the perfect High Priest of the whole world, once and for all. Jesus/Yeshua experienced the full spectrum of human suffering and remained fully obedient without sinning, which solidified His qualification to be our forever High Priest. Heb. 2:9-10

As believers in Jesus Christ/Messiah Yeshua, the scriptures prepare us that we will experience suffering. When we do, it is important that we stay surrendered to God and obedient to Him. Thanks to Yeshua /Jesus’ human experience, we now have a High Priest who understands every situation we walk through.

He did not gain the victory by having it easy in the lap of luxury!

Yeshua /Jesus did not have to learn obedience as the Son of God, but being fully God and fully man, He did have to learn obedience as the Son of Man.

The original Greek word for suffered, being used in this passage is most commonly used, to discuss going through difficult situations like persecution, (1 Thess. 2:14; 1 Pet. 3:12) or disease (Mk. 5:26).  Inherent in its meaning, is also a positive transformation of the sufferer due to the struggles he has walked through (2 Cor. 1:3–9; Rom. 5:3).

Jesus/Yeshua, chose to endure suffering because this was God’s will for Him while He was on earth. Jesus/Yeshua the man was “made perfect” by His suffering. In this situation, the word “perfect” means “complete.” 

Yeshua /Jesus walked through every struggle that we face; He is no stranger to suffering. Yeshua /Jesus remained obedient to God, perfectly fulfilling the Old Testament Law and offering Himself as the spotless, sacrificial atonement for our sins. Because of this, when we put our faith in Him, we are saved from sin, and we are able to approach Him in confidence, knowing we will find His mercy and grace. 

When He set His face like flint towards Jerusalem. Luke 9:53; Knowing what was ahead, this is counting the true cost of discipleship in following Him for ‘Jerusalem’ is our goal also! Taking up our cross.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/the-calling-part-2/

There are some teachings that say because He suffered, we don’t have to; that because He fasted, we don’t need to; however Yeshua/ Jesus own words are clearly contrary to this, saying, not if, but.. When you fast… Matt. 6:16,17

In this world you will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name John 16:33 doesn’t sound like a happy time!

He who endures to the end… Mt. 24:13 and we are to do just that. Mt. 10:38 and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Luke 14:27, And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 9 :23 then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.

Matt 16:24-26 Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus – Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it.

The Christian life is not the mossy track seen through rose colored specs, it’s a rocky climb up a high mountain.

We’ve been fed many misconceptions, for when its tough we are accused of being in sin or error! Prosperity and abundant wealth with all its accoutrements, is not a guaranteed sign that someone is truly blessed by God in the truest sense of the word. It’s all a matter of what you think and believe the blessing of God really is, neither of which will change Truth.

We were never promised a life of ease but He gave us a helper to get us through it.

One day at a time.

When it’s tough, we have a tendency moan and complain. Our flesh thinks we are missing out on what others have, as they seem to be so blessed! The life of self denial, sacrifice and discipline; of laying down our own goals and dreams, is not the sermon that those who love to have their ears tickled want to hear.

The Pharisees were the ones who taught that worldly wealth and prosperity was the result of those who were godly. It’s the same promise of the prosperity gospel of today.

We should remember Yeshua/Jesus said in Mark 8:36; For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Consider the butterfly, a creature often used as symbolic of the metamorphic change that takes place a new believers life.

From a worm like caterpillar, to a beautiful winged creature.

Sadly, this too is used as a symbol by those following the adversary, the hater of our souls, for their plans of mind control.

(Space does not permit examples however a web search reveals sinister and nefarious plans for the same goal the devil has always had; that we can become like God through transmutation from one form to another. That of ‘god-like beings’ and enhanced by genetic manipulation together with the mixing of Nephillim DNA. The co-mingling, like the experience of Nimród in Genesis 10:8 who ‘began to become..’ and others also after the flood.)

The search for any such ancient DNA, seems now to be in full force through heritage sites, such as 23 and me, and the unusual increase at law enforcement checkpoints, where officers have been charged with taking similar information. Those in opposition to the Kingdom of Heaven, are looking for something and are amassing a databank of citizens genetic makeup.

(Sounds crazy? Again a web search will reveal things that we have not even dreamed about! The devil is busy for he knows his time is short).

You will see, along with those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear, that butterflies, the monarch in particular, as part of logos on promotional materials. Movies and music videos and advertising et cetera et cetera. Their agendas are hidden in plain site. E.g.The monarch is a symbol used by occult, (occult means Hidden,) based societies and groups who are anti/against Jesus Christ and are following the devils lies; in basically the same as he did in Genesis; that ye shall be as ‘gods’ and not die!

The spirit of man ascends. Ecclesiastes 3:21. The beast goes down, using that same lie he did in the begining.

This information is NOT to cause fear but to inspire courage, so we are not taken by surprise. We need to be alert, ready and on guard for our enemy is..1Pet.5:8

and remember that we with Titus in 2:13 are in this season looking for the blessed hope..

 and manifestation of the glory!

 

However, returning to observe the butterfly cycle. From the egg

producing a worm-like, crawling caterpillar;

who crawls through it’s short life on the ground like the serpent; who was cursed, consuming all in its path.

Eating the dust of the ground of which we are all formed!

One day it climbs a tree and turns itself upside down, hanging on a tree.

It is ready to die and become something else entirely. (Has a familiar ring to it!) The caterpillar forms a protective hard shell around its body. Called a chrysalis and in that tomb like structure it dies to one form.

This structure resembles the tight hard lacquered strips of cloth used in burial and in swaddling clothes at birth! Familiar?

Is. 41:14 Jacob was called a worm.

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

Only in dying to self as a worm form can it undergo the metamorphosis, in a process of change, beginning to become, another creature. And when metamorphosis is completed a new being emerges, it is born-again from the shroud of death.

The chrysalis this new creation does not in any way resemble its former self.For behold all things are become new. 2Cor.5:17

It will never have to crawl again for it now has wings and will soar upwards no longer earthbound.

It’s prison door is open and it is free to ascend, and live in the image that the creator planned, the One who gave it the breath/ruach of life, chaim.

And so are we to become the beautiful new creation in Jesus/yeshua the creatures we were always meant and designed to be.

There is a mystery revealed within.

We are given life by father, the butterfly gives life to the caterpillar and as it crawls not knowing its purpose or destiny. Still earth bound and unaware of why it was born at all; we are like that too. We think like a caterpillar, crawling along, consuming, going somewhere and thinking caterpillar thoughts. And see only what is right ahead, going, working, eating, sleeping in a continual cycle.

Then the miracle happens and the earth-bound life is terminated and for us the metamorphosis begins. From being first, born as earthly creatures upside down; now we are born again by His spirit pheuma/ruach into new creatures right side up in Him. Freed from the prison of the earthbound matrix, we are turned right side up becoming children of Heaven.Eph. 2:76 Made to dwell in and abide in the heavenly realms with Him leaving behind everything that held us earthbound everything of the prison that tied us to the world, to the things of the flesh and to sin.

We are turned right side up and headed in the right direction out of the ambigram matrix into the eternal light of heavens glory/ the symbolic dwelling place of the righteous. Where He has raised us up with Him and we are..

Eph. 4:22, 23; Gal. 2:20; 2Cor. 5:17; Rom. 6:4-8;

Thank the Father in Yeshua’s/Jesus’ Name, that according to Jn. 5:24 and 1Jn. 3:14; We have passed from death to life..

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed

from

The life/death ambigram is a

 typographical design consisting of text modified in such a way that it can be read in multiple orientations, as in mirror image words that have been flipped, mirrored, inverted, turned upside down! 

Which WAY will we let it read?

Death to Life or Life to Death?

We will go one WAY or the other – Life or Death –

choose this day..and choose LIFE!

Shalom!

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.

Mystery of Rechem – The Secret of Living Like Royalty

If we are to live like Royalty… first the

God of compassion – El Rachum – (Deut. 4:31)Tells us we must be born-again. John 3: 3– 8This is probably one of the most familiar verses along with John 3:16.

Messiah was talking with Nicodemus who was a leader of the Jewish people and would have known Torah/Tenach, the Old Testament.

(obviously, there was no new testament written at the time.)

Everything Messiah Jesus/Yeshua referred to was in Torah, the Hebrew Scriptures, which is what we call the Old Testament.

He told Nicodemus that to enter heaven, (the kingdom of the heavens)

malkut shamayim” שָׁמַיִם (shamayim)

mal•choot ha•sha•má•yim

One must be born again.

His response was probably what anyone would say, how is that possible??

Can a man enter his mother’s womb to be born when he is old? Obviously not!

However in Hebrew, the word for ‘womb’ gives us a fresh and beautifully significant picture that we may have missed.

(An earlier post referenced the Hebrew Letter Mem.) The word for WOMB, is Rechem, and it comes from the word Racham.Racham speaks of mercy, tender love and compassion.So, Racham also means womb as well as mercy and is used in the Word of God to speak of His mercy and love as in EL Rachum.

Here is a mystery revealed:

The love/ahav and mercy/racham of God/Adonai, is like a womb/rechem –

and this is the connection.

When a new life is being formed, the only real protection is in the womb.Each one of us have been here for around 9 months. It’s a place of nurturing, tenderness and development of the physical body, in preparation to exist and live within the Earth’s environment.

Every individual needs that or we would never have been born the first time. However Jesus/Yeshua told us…Similarly, the womb of the morning,  can also represent a new day/a new beginning; the day has a new birth wherein His Mercies are new every morning.It’s the Racham of Adonai. EL Rachum.

The deep compassion and tender love of EL Rachum.

This is the ‘secret womb’ that we can enter,

the hidden place, the Mem,

abiding in the womb/Rechem of His tender MERCY/RACHAM.

This is one of the secret places of the Most High.

It is this mercy, this rechem, the womb of His love that also tenderly keeps us all through our lives.Nurtures us, holds us and protects us from harm.

It’s an intriguing observation that during times of great stress, we instinctively curl up into the same fetal posture that we were, when in the womb!

It is by living/Abiding within that place/womb of mercy and love, that we grow; and are formed first into the child and then into the mature believer we were called to become.“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”  Jeremiah 1:5

Strongs’s #7358: rechem – Greek/Hebrew Definitions – Bible Tools .  https://www.bibletools.org

Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon:

rechem. 1) womb. 1a) womb … Numbers 18:15: “Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring … Jeremiah 1:5: “I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified …

From the Latin word for womb (in turn from mater or mother), a matrix is either the intercellular substance of a tissue, the material in which a fossil is embedded, or a mold from which a relief surface is made in printing or phonograph manufacturing. It’s mostly translated as “womb.”

The Latin word for mother is “mater” (or matr). A woman who was having a baby, became “matrix”. The word was then was used for “womb”. So Moses is telling the people to dedicate their firstborn to God.

The womb. To “open the matrix,” Exodus 13:12,15, means, to be the firstborn.

Jeremiah 1:5: “I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet”

Exodus 13:12: “unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast”
Exodus 13:15: “I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all”
Exodus 34:19: “All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep,”
Numbers 3:12: “instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel:”

Numbers 18:15: “Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD,”

Here, He not only formed us, but within are also the plans He has for us to fulfill during our sojourn, passing through this life, in our temporary home, en route to the true life with Him.

Every birth requires a womb; that womb/our new birth. In His love/Ahava for the Racham of El Rachum, is the Rechem of our new birth.One of the 13 attributes of God’s is His Mercy, which was revealed after the sin of the Golden calf. Shelosh esret middot .

Desiring the sincere milk of the word.

Psalm 119:103 then as we partake of salvation through the new birth, we need nourishment to grow.

And what matters now is not what we once were but who we have become in Messiah.

We’ve heard it said you are what you eat, and while a baby is within the womb, the food/nourishment is provided through the mother.If we are to grow then we need to feed on him who birthed us the second time. And partake of Messiah as the heavenly bread of our new life as a baby newly born into His Kingdom.

We see a secret in the larvae of bees. What a larvae becomes depends on what it eats. If the larvae eats royal jelly, it becomes a Queen. This is the only way to become a Queen.

No royal jelly = no Queen!Amazingly, queen bees are genetically exactly identical to worker bees. But they’re fed a different diet from worker bees their whole lives, from the time they are tiny larvae, until the day they die.This different meal plan causes their physiology and behavior to develop completely differently from worker bees, despite the same genetic foundation. this transforming food with the aptly named substance, royal jelly.

Royal jelly is a protein-rich excretion from the glands of worker bees –think of it as a honey bee’s version of mother’s milk.While all larvae are fed royal jelly for the first three days, of life, larvae chosen by the worker bees to become queens are bathed in royal jelly in special,elongated ‘queen cells’ throughout their development.

(larvae drone worker bees)

After the larval stage is complete and the queen bee emerges,she is fed royal jelly throughout her life.

Nurse bees feed larvae destined to be workers not only royal jelly, which queen-destined larvae are fed, but also beebread, or processed pollen (seen here).Beebread contains p-coumaric acid, which alters gene expression and contributes to the honey bees’ developmental fate.

Beebread and honey contain p-coumaric acid, but royal jelly does not. Queens feed exclusively on royal jelly. Worker bees known as nurses feed the larvae according to the needs of the hive.

Worker bees tending to larvae

When female larvae are fed royal jelly, which is secreted by other bees, they develop into large-bodied, fertile queens. But most larvae eat beebread, a mixture of pollen and nectar. These larvae develop into smaller, sterile worker bees.

The shape of Bees bodies are not aerodynamically efficient  –  so every flight is a flight of faith! 

Strong’s Hebrew: 4438. מַלְכוּת (malkuth) — royalty, royal power…

מַלְכוּת noun feminine royalty, royal power, reign, kingdom

מַלְכוּת Phonetic Spelling: (mal-kooth’)

ROYAL. roi’-al: Either belonging to a king (kingdom) or having kingly power, dignity, authority,

Either belonging to a king (kingdom) or having kingly power, dignity, authority, etc. In Hebrew, the word is expressed by using different nouns in the gen. case (the “construct state”).

They are:

(1) melekh, “king”: “Asher …. shall yield royal dainties,” literally, choice morsels of the king, meaning fit for a king (Genesis 49:20); “besides that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty,” literally, which he gave her according to the hand (the wealth) of King Solomon (1 Kings 10:13; compare the Revised Version margin); “a royal statute,” literally, statute of a malka’, which is the emphatic Aramaic term for melekh, “king” (Daniel 6:7);(2) mamlakhah, “the power and dignity of a king,” “Gibeon …. one of the royal cities,” i.e. a capital city with a king of her own (Joshua 10:2; compare 1 Samuel 27:5); “all the seed royal,” literally, the seed of the kingdom (2 Kings 11:1; compare 2 Chronicles 22:10);(3) malkhuth, “kinghood,” “kingdom”:

“royal majesty,” literally, majesty of kinghood (1 Chronicles 29:25); quite frequently in the Book of Esther; royal wine (1:7); crown (1:11; compare 2:17; 6:8); commandment (1:19); “her royal estate,” literally, her kinghood (1:19); house royal (2:16; compare 5:1); royal apparel (5:1; compare 6:8,15); throne (5:1);

(4) melukhah, “kingdom,” “kingly power and dignity”:

“royal city,” literally, the city of the kingdom, meaning here that part of the city (Rabbah) in which the royal palace was situated (2 Samuel 12:26); “royal diadem,” literally, turban of kinghood (Isaiah 62:3);

(5) in Jeremiah 43:10 we find the word shaphrir; its meaning is uncertain:

“royal pavilion” (the Revised Version (British and American) and the King James Version), “glittering” (Revised Version, margin), “scepter,” “a carpet covering a throne.”

The New Testament uses the word for basilikos, “belonging to king”:

“royal apparel” (Acts 12:21); “the royal law,” something like “the golden rule,” being foremost because including all others (James 2:8), and for basileios (being vested with kingly power and honor), “royal priesthood,” the Hebrew rendering would be mamlekheth kohanim, “a kingdom of priests,” i.e. a kingdom whose citizens are priests, emphasizing the two facts that the true Christians have free access to the grace of God and that they enjoy the liberties and privileges of His kingdom (1 Peter 2:9).

Here’s the secret to a believer living a Royal lifestyle – it’s dependent upon what we feed ourselves.

If we partake of the Word of holiness and righteous, then we will become that. However if we partake of the world, we will in like manner, become worldly and so it goes for everything else.

Don’t be discouraged, He has overcome the world and we are not bound to be as we are right now. If there is depression, anxiety or sin dragging us down, simply stop eating the wrong food! Messiah, the bread of (new) life, the royal nutrition, that will give you a royal lifestyle, a new life in Him. Then we will become Messiah like and emulate His life. We will not be limited by who we have been but live by who He is in us. Bees and Bee-lievers.

If we consume Royal food, we will become the royal new creation in Him and fulfill and resemble His Word; according to 1Peter 2:9, we are a Royal Priesthood a Holy nation because we are grated in by His Grace and Mercy.

Joint Heirs with Him.And I will give to him to sit on my throne  Rev. 3:21
