How is Yovel Connected To The Fingerprint of God, Keys of Light, The Shofar and Jubilee? Part 2

The fingerprint of God is the confirming visual aspect of the God of Creation.

Fingerprints of Gods’ original authorship, can be seen in everything around us which has the breath and energy of life within it.

After we have placed our lives into His Hands, that is when we will begin to see His fingerprints on and in them.

Even the rams’ horn, from which the Shofar is made, shows the fingerprint of God, as does DNA.

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

The Keys of Light seem to be, the

revealed knowledge

imparted to those with

eyes to see and ears to hear

as opened by

Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh. Eph. 1:8

16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. KJV. Matt.13:15-17

This is understanding the spiritual and comprehending the dimension Jesus/Yeshua came to demonstrate.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, Acts 16:14 

When God opens the spiritual eyes inside of us, it may be opposite to what we have always thought; and may change both how we see a situation, and what we believe about it.

Our world view takes on a new look as the veils are removed. Just as the moment that the fog lifts and reveals what was there all the time, we simply could not see through the fog/veil.

While we cannot help but be affected by circumstances surrounding us, our spiritual senses can be sharpened to such a degree that, we can actually benefit from them.

This only comes from spending time in the presence of the Lord, for it is only then that we can see our circumstances through His eyes: that is when the eyes of our understanding are being enlightened.

When Jesus/Yeshua said in Matthew 13:13 Seeing they do not see.

He was no doubt referring to more than the use of the natural eyes and ears.

Paul makes a strange statement saying, that you must have “the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know” (Ephesians 1:18). Indicating that the heart has eyes!

The heart of the spirit apparently also has a door, upon which He knocks; and the lock is on the inside. Only we can open it to let in the Lord and His enlightening Spirit. The lock needs a KEY of LIGHT that illuminates, and as God is Light, so it is as Messiah said, He gives the Keys.

Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Ps 119:105

Locks are usually the recipients of keys and locks are mostly integral to, or somehow connected to, doors. They are also called portals, and as we have seen in paleo pictographs of the Hebrew letter dalet, this letter comes from the word meaning Door.

Paleo-Pictograph meaning of Dalet is:

Door, passageway, the process of entering in.

Also means threshold, starting point, point of entry, gate, must begin here.

These are His instructions; when He said I Am the Door of the sheep, we are to follow.

He gave us the example, manifested in the door. He is the One who opened the passage for us to enter in. He is also our guard, defender, shield and Shepherd.

We are to…Seek the kingdom… and we are given the keys. It’s up to us to find the doors and locate the locks, for He told us if we seek we shall find, knock and it shall be opened.

Every door leads somewhere. Every portal opens into something, mostly houses/ buildings of one type or another. The question is, who does the building belong to?

If we have a key and permission to use it, then we are also permitted entrance and obviously welcome; as we must know the owner who gave us the key. We would not give a stranger the key to our house.

Likewise Messiah gives us His KEYS to His house, which is the inner spiritual house of our physical being of which He is now the owner because we now belong to Him and are no longer strangers. We have His Keys of Light.

There is one nation which has never been eradicated throughout all of history. One group of people has survived where others have not.

They are His miraculous witness, they exist for the plan and purpose of God – chosen and separated; set-apart for the specific purpose to declare His existence and fulfill His purpose in restoring us to Himself. In the wilderness, the nation was reborn from bondage and became the herald of future events declaring the end before it began.

In Deut. 30:1-4, Moses declared the journey which Israel would take through all its times of tragedy and captivity. However, He also said they would return to the land. In fact, Moses says that when these events occur, God will do an amazing thing. He says that the Lord himself “will return and gather” His people from their captivity, it was a reference to the Jubilee ordinance.

Ex 19:19 As the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses would speak and God would answer with a voice/shofar/thunder. 

They were to sound the rams horn/shofar.

Leviticus 25:10 (KJV).

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

There’s only one place in the writings where the rams horn shofar is connected to the words you shall return, and it’s in Lev. 25:10 and is called the law of Jubilees.

The Jubilee is God’s origination and ordained by Him that at the Jubilee, all that has been lost is restored. In Jubilee year we come home and separation from family and land is ended and everything is returned and restored back to the original owner.

Here is another key of light/revealed knowledge.

The connection between the rams horn/shofar and jubilee is that,

the rams horn/the shofar

WAS THE SIGN

of the Jubilee.

It was the rams’ horn/shofar,

that both

ushered in

and

proclaimed its’ coming,

all through the land,

every 50 years.

This was given to Israel and the children of Israel, which includes every grafted in born again believer.

It is a returning to our ancestral possession/land. Deut. 30:3. The sign of the end times would be the return of Israel to her land of the promise!

There have been many Jubilees.

Yovel/Jubilee and Shofar are synonymous; and this is why the Shofar is called the Yovel. And it is why we have missed the deeper significance, when we only read the English words that have been translated from the Hebrew and Aramaic languages.

(Remember Bet/beit and vet, Bb and Vv are the same in the Hebrew alef-bet so the letters are interchangeable).

It is so much clearer when we read the Hebrew word as there is no letter J in the Alef bet, instead it is the letter Y.

Jubilee reads Y B L – even pronouncing the letters without vowels, it immediately sounds and reads like the Hebrew word; and adding vowel sounds makes it complete.

Now it is easier to see that Jesus/Yeshua is not only the Dalet /the Door; but also our Jubilee/Yubel. He is the physical manifestation of heralding the return and restoration of all things; the shofar declaring its imminent arrival and His impending return. 

The fact is, that all language needs a Voice, a Kol, and that voice also needs a frequency in the form of sounds to express itself.

To the foreigner another language sounds like nonsense; just a jumble of noise. But to the one who knows that language it makes perfect sense. This is true of all animals, birds, and sea life which communicate in their own way with sound; e.g the whales are even said to have a song.

So why would we not think the sound of a shofar would not communicate something to the listener as expelled by the blower?

The main KEY to this is Yom Kippur. The rams horn/SHOFAR is what ushers in and brings the Jubilee/Yovel.

Yom Kippur is the Key to Yovel.

Here is another key of light/revealed knowledge.

Jubilee represents the setting in motion of God’s purposes. It sets the stage, initiates and inaugurates the course; sets in motion a sequence of events, moving forward until the next Jubilee.

A sequence of prophetic purposes, that with the passage of time, will become increasingly manifest in the natural realm.

It’s the fruition of the seeds planted,

it sets in motion a new cycle,

it ends one and immediately begins another,

it opens up a new era,

it unleashes His appointed purposes.

It is a name based on the SHOFAR that was sounded to proclaim it’s coming. The year of YOVEL, when slaves and prisoners were set free; it is year of restoration.

The Jubilee/Yovel, can only begin

on one specific day.

Yom Kippur.

The Day of Atonement.

Why?

Because blessings can only come after being reconciled to God; and the only way that was possible was through the atonement.

So apart from Yom Kippur there can be no Jubilee. No atonement = no release, no freedom, and no restoration.

The atonement is the sacrifice of Messiah.

What is the Yovel key?

The key is Yom Kippur

because it brings the yovel,

the atonement, the at-one-ment.

Therefore if Messiah is the atonement and we are IN HIM, it could be said we also bring the Jubilee and the more we dwell in the atonement, the more we will live in the Jubilee.

To have the power of Jubilee means:

having the power to walk in freedom,

and the power of returning home,

the power of reconciliation,

the power of liberty and

the power to be restored to God-given inheritance.

To do this we must go deeper into Messiah, and into His atonement and this is achieved by way of relationship.

Deep calls to deep, and from Messiah comes our Jubilee because from Yom Kippur comes the Yovel.

Yud, Vav, Bet, Lamed.

As Yom Kippur is always preceded by trumpets which focuses on the end, it announces the closing of the annual sacred cycle.

The Shofar/trumpet will one day announce the coming of Kings and kingdoms. It is prophesied that when the Shofar trumpet sounds, the kingdom of God will come.

Shofar/trumpets call the people to gather before God. So it’s prophesied that at the sound of the Shofar/trumpet Gods’ people will be gathered up into His presence.

It’s a wake up call, and it will be enough to wake the dead!

And it will announce the start of a king’s reign.

Meaning: when it sounds, the reign of THE King will begin. The kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of the Lord.

These appointed times, are just as much a part of the new renewed covenant, as are the appointed days of spring. They are telling us, that faith is not only in what was, as in their fulfillment, but also of what is yet to come.

We live our lives FROM salvation and yet TO redemption. Our HOPE/TIKVAH is in the Lord.

Lev. 23:24; Matt. 24:31; 1Cor. 15:52; 1Thess. 4:16.

Lev. 25:10.

Jubilee is all about separation,

it’s Hallow, Holy, as in set apart. The command is to separate out and to treat it differently than the 49 yrs that preceded it.

First it’s a kadosh/holy year unto the Lord like no other year.

This is true both for corporate and personal observation.

2nd it’s a proclamation of liberty, freedom.

3rd it’s all about the inhabitants and citizens (which we are spiritually grafted into) of Israel.

4th its about the multiplication of time. This time period is 7yrs and 7 is the number of completion. This Year is 5780. Meanings: grace, completion, new beginnings.

Lev. 25 :8-10, the Shofar is to be sounded and is based on mathematics: 7×7+1=50

5th thing is restoration

yod means to work pictured as a hand to do a deed to make something to accomplish a purpose.

VAV pictured as an iron nail; means to add, to secure, to join together, to bind together, to make a connection between 2 things which are separated from each other. It’s a wooden peg and a wooden hook and it means: to hold up.

BET has the idea of a child or family and it pictured as a tent or house; a picture of a dwelling place. It means inside and is the 1st letter in the Torah – Bereshit that identifies the Son of God.

LAMED pictured as the staff of a shepherd; means control, to have authority, to urge forward, it’s the voice of authority.

Putting these together is clearly supportive of the common meaning of

Jubilee: A divine/holy deed is being done that restores families to their homes where they are once again joined together and revived and renewed and regain the authority and control over the land and possessions that were once lost.

There’s a further apocalypse though, which does not focus on Israel and the land, or its restoration. Nor is it restricted to Israel or the Jewish people; this is because it is about the Messianic Jubilee.

The deeper significance is in the spiritual sense as a prophetic forecast. And its implications are more far reaching because it’s for all people, everywhere on the face of the earth. It is declaring that God has a divine plan that will be revealed and unfold at the appointed time/MOED; in order to deliver mankind from the wrath of God, the bondage of sin and eternal separation from His presence/throne in Shamayim/heavens.

This Jubilee will heal and restore the breach between people and their Creator, through the atoning sacrifice of Messiah. Only through the blood of Jesus/Yeshua shed at Calvary, are our sins forgiven. Then we are invited to be reunited with our Heavenly Father and adopted into the family of God and one day we will be in His presence eternally.

This is the freedom that is being declared in the shadow type of Jubilee; this is Jesus/Yeshua’s Jubilee/Yubel/Yovel, and the one that Jesus/Yeshua declared in Galilee, recorded in Luke 4:18,19 when He read from the Isaiah scroll.

Rom 10: 9-10 says that it was being fulfilled by Him.

Jesus/Yeshua is our Jubilee.

Lev. 25:10.

Our conventional understanding of 50 is 7×7 + 1.

7 is divine completion, but of what?

What is the meaning behind the numbers of Jubilee/YOVEL – 10 6 2 30?

Yod with a numerical value 10: the perfection of a divine order, completeness of divinely ordered events, completing an order.

One of 4 sacred numbers and means ordinal perfection.

Vav with a numerical value of 6: means enmity with God, weakness of man, imperfection and the manifestation of sin and the evils of satan/adversary. It also means to fall short, to labor, to sorrow. It’s the number of man’s secular completeness and therefore the number of mans world.

Bet 2 is the first number in which there is a division; it can have a dual meaning and is made up of 2 other numbers 1+1. It can mean to indicate a difference of opinion, e.g. evil vs. good; and indicates that another 1 can come alongside us, the second one, or someone who comes alongside, either to hinder, or to help/assist.

It also refers to part of the creator God as the Son, the living Word. He was there at the beginning, He is the Alef and Tav. It is revealed to us as a beautiful picture as it is the first number/letter in Torah. At the creation account, it is the first letter of the first word, Bereshit; not genesis. It is a letter B/bet/beyt, and is the picture of a house or tent and the number value of 2.

Both the picture and numerical value point to the Son of God. The only Son, the uncreated Son, who was the divinely conceived, Son of the Father.

Lamed 30 means blood sacrifice.

It is 3 x 10 – 3 is divine perfection and x10 = ordinal perfection.

The result being, the divine order is at a magnified perfection – marking the right time.

The fact that 3 and 10 are 2 of the sacred numbers and are in the root of Jubilee/Yubel, indicates that whatever is hidden in this number is of extreme significance.

There are other numbers that are related to the sequencing of time, 40, 50, 300 and 400 and all are divisible by 10. However, 10 is the only one regularly used in the scriptures as the divine prophetic multiplier.

10 forecasts there is a divine plan in place unfolding in time and space. It can also be taken with other numbers in the same word, to forecast a particular and precise period of time. Wherever a number can be divided by 10, it indicates that there is a revelation in that number, that has something to do with the 5 W’s. Those 5 being, the Who, the What, Where, When and Why; as related to the divinely ordained plan of God.

6 is mans number, and as 7 is a sacred number that reveals divine completion, so 6 falls short of God’s perfection.

1 = God, Humans are short of perfection by 1 because they are without God.

6 magnifies man’s imperfection and is the manifestation of man’s secular completion; and always comes to an end with sin, sorrow and failure. More than any other number, 6 is the one that reminds us that we are at enmity with God and unable in our own strengths, to bridge the gap. It also reminds us that we are travelers passing through man’s fallen and corrupt world. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. We can’t serve God and mammon and invariably our lives are ruled by one or the other.

As we have seen, HaYovel, which in Hebrew means The Jubilee;

pronounced: HA-yo-VEL.

יוֹבֵל  lamed, bet, vav, yod, also has the meaning ram’s horn, trumpet. 

Yovel or yobel {yob-ale’}; apparently from yabal; the blast of a horn (from its continuous sound); specifically, the signal of the silver trumpets; hence, the instrument itself and the festival thus introduced — jubile, ram’s horn, trumpet.

According to Jewish tradition, the reestablishment of the Biblically-mandated Jubilee year, is part of the Messianic process. In Judaism, it is a positive religious commandment “to sanctify the 50th year” (Leviticus 25:8).

When all the twelve tribes lived in Israel, in their ancestral estates, the year following seven complete Shemittah cycles—the fiftieth year—was observed as Yovel, the Jubilee year. During Yovel, too, the land was not worked, as during Shemittah.

The Shemitah, (sometimes spelled Shemittahor or Shmita), is the final year in a seven-year cycle of debt forgiveness and land use, prescribed for Israel in the Old Testament. Known also as the Sabbatical Year. The Sabbatical Year and The Jubilee Year (Yovel), provided for a period of both social equality and ecological recovery, a year of REST/SHALOM.

Most Hebrew scholars agree that the original meaning of the word ‘Yovel’ (Hebrew for ‘jubilee’) is ‘ram’ or ‘deer’, as can be found in the Book of Joshua: “Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of RAM’S horns before the ark.

Every 50th year is considered YOVEL, meaning, that all Jewish slaves are freed and that all land which has changed hands in the years since the last YOVEL now returns to the hands of its original owner.

Jubilee (biblical) The Jubilee ( Hebrew: יובל  yōḇel; Yiddish: yoyvl) is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years), and according to Biblical regulations had a special impact on the ownership and management of land in the Land of Israel; 

Yovel’s origin and use are both in the Hebrew language. Yovel is a variant form of the English name Jubal. Modern Hebrew has adopted the European sense of the word, and a Yovel can mean the marking of any anniversary. 

The name Jubilee is from the Hebrew word yovel, “ram’s horn,” the year being so called because a ram’s horn was sounded when it was proclaimed (Leviticus 25:9). 

Hebrew: יובל yōḇel; Yiddish: yoyvl) is the year at the end of seven cycles of shmita (Sabbatical years).

When Yovel/Jubilee arrives, the Jewish slave becomes once again a free person, who is devoted only to the service of Adonai/the Lord, and not to a human master and so, liberty takes on a new meaning. However it does not mean ownerless, rather it means belonging to the rightful, natural Master.

At the end of days, when Messiah/Mashiach shall arrive, we will return to the Source, and our natural condition, an existence unencumbered by a Yetzer Hara, an existence in which our sole desire will be to derive pleasure from Our Heavenly Father’s infinite perfection.

Yetzer Hara in Hebrew: יֵצֶר הַרַע  refers to the congenital inclination to do evil, by violating the will of God.

The term is drawn from the phrase: the imagination of the heart of man [is] evil. (Hebrew: יֵצֶר לֵב הָאָדָם רַע, yetzer lev-ha-adam ra).

The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

The yetzer hara represents the inner impulse or tendency within the human heart to gravitate toward selfish gratification (the word yetzer first appears in Genesis 6:5 

The Yetzer HaTov, is the spirit, that tells us to do good and to be loyal to God; it’s the good inclination and inner impulse to do good.

Yetzer יֵצֶר

Strongs # 3336 pronounced yay’-tser meaning: a form, framing, purpose, intent, intentions, mind.

So now we can see how Yovel is connected to the Fingerprint of God, the Keys of Light, the Shofar and Jubilee.

We are Yuval – led by Messiah Jesus/Yeshua.

Jesus/Yeshua is Jubilee/Yubel/Yovel/the Atonement/rams horn/Shofar who gave us the keys of His Kingdom, the keys of light and God’s fingerprint is on all of it.

We are in Jubilee and a divine/holy, set-apart deed is being done, as we work out our salvation, we are being restored to the Father and joined together into the family of God where all that was lost is regained, revived and renewed.

May the song of our life be as the sound of music to our Heavenly Father.

Shalom, shalom

21 12 21 12 12 12 12 12 12? Conclusion

21 11 21 12 12 12 12 ?

12 Gates, 12 Tribes.

The Name of each tribe is written over a gate.

Luke 6:13-16

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

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

12 Tribes, and their identification.

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

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

The original 12 sons

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

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

List in Paleo Hebrew.

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

NORTH:

Asher- Tree

Dan- Scorpion or Snake or Scales

Naphtali- Goat or Deer

EAST:

Issachar- Donkey 

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

Zebulun- Ship

SOUTH:

Gad –Tent

REUBEN –The Man Water

SIMEON – Fish

WEST:

Benjamin – Wolf

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

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

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

Be’Otot – b’ō·w·ṯōṯ 

according to the standards,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Andrew

James (the son of Zeb’edee) 

John

Philip

Bartholomew

Thomas

Matthew

James (the son of Alphaeus)

Thaddaeus,

Simon Zelotes and

Judas brother of James

(Judas Iscariot was replaced by Matthias.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Breastplate order of stones and tribes.

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

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

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

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

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

Reuben’s stone was Odem- אדֶם

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

Simeon’s stone was Piteda-(פִּטְדָה)

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

Levi’s stone was Bareqet- בָּרֶקֶת

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

Judah’s stone was was Nophekh- נׁפֶךְ

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

Issachar’s stone was Sappir-(סַפִּיר)

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

Zebulon’s stone was Yahalom (שְׁבוֹ)

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

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

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

Gad’s stone was Shevo (שְׁבוֹ)

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

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

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

Asher’s stone was Tarshish- (תַּרְשִׁישׁ)

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

Joseph’s stone was Shoham- (שֹׁהַם)

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

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

Benjamin’s stone was Yashfe-(יָשְׁפֶה)

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

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

Next time we see pearls,

think 12 gates

or any precious gem, think 12 foundations, apostles and tribes for as we continue to find…everything is connected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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