The Mysteries of IM


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Egyptian hieroglyph for M

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Panim: faces of gold, facets and attributes.

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

Here are the 4 main nouns:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As everything is connected…links to pertinent posts are included throughout. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Because.. We Are Enveloped

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

Enveloped…

By His Protecting Angels;

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

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

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

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

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

Enveloped.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Following on from the seal and signet rings,

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

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

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

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

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

Views and cross section of the ring discovered at Herodium

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

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

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

The question is why?

Aerial view from northwest of the Herodion palace-fortress

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

More fascinating news that has connections to Israel:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hmmmm!

This cannot be just a coincidence can it?

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and that we can learn to flow together and..

That these composers knew God goes without saying.

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

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

Be Strong – Chazak

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

“Ode to Joy” (German: “An die Freude” [an diː ˈfʁɔʏdə]), is an ode written in the summer of 1785 by German poet, playwright, and historian Friedrich Schiller and published the following year in Thalia.
Ode an die Freude – Song Of Joy. Based on “Ode To Joy” from Beethoven’s 9th Symphony.

Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name.

Most likely we have all heard the references to Heavens pearly gates and it may be that the image we have in our minds is something like the picture below.

A huge gate made out of a single pearl?

Our frame of reference is limited to what we know and of what we see in our physical earth realm.

What size must the oyster have had to be?

Impossible?

.. all things are possible with God!

Mark 10:27

We limit Him and ourselves by our humanity and our measures..His Ways are not ours neither are His thoughts. Is.55:8.. It’s time to stre-a-t-c-hh our spiritual muscles!

The pearl is often associated with tears because it’s believed that the pearl is formed through intrusive particles like sand, they become an agitant within the mollusk and cause discomfort/pain. It apparently secretes a substance around the particle to prevent further irritation and damage. The build up of this secretion eventually forms the beautiful pearl. If this is so, tears are then the symbols of the gates and the Way into heaven.

Pearls represent tears and if, as we have previously noted, tears bring life…

..then as we enter into life through the pearl gate – the tears of sorrow turn to beautiful pearls/tears of joy.

 Ps. 30:5 in his favour is life: weeping/tears may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Tears of true repentance are essential and integral to salvation. He wipes away all tears as we enter through that Pearl/symbol.

Rev. 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

It’s the last reminder of the tears we have shed in this life as we enter in to His joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Many times we have only heard what someone else says of Heaven and have not actually read the scripture references for ourselves and because if this we sometimes miss some amazing details.

Maybe each of the gates are more like this??…

Heaven is in the spiritual realm and is beyond the veil separating the dimensions and yet it exists just as solidly as anything here on earth and is in many ways more real!

How do we know that?

Matthew 6:19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Nothing in Heaven decays in any way and is eternal, whereas this earth is scheduled for renewal in the future.

According to revelation, heaven is the location of Fathers’ throne and it is also where the new Jerusalem is – are they one and the same?

What we do know is that according to Revelation, the new Jerusalem is going to come down to the earth and that is where Messiah will rule from in the millenial reign.

So it’s at least a portion of shamayim/heaven that is coming to earth. Rev 21:12-21.

The first thing that is clear, is that there is more than one pearl because, there is more than one gate to enter into the New Jerusalem.

Jerusalem

Yerusalyim/Yerushalyim

(Remember the im Hebrew suffix means more than one – spiritually speaking, there has always been more than one Yerushalyim) 

חָדָשׁ      (chadash) — new

Phonetic Spelling: (khaw-dawsh’)

חָדָשׁ

In the same pattern that there were 12 gates

into the old city of Jerusalem in Israel,

there are 12 gates into the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21:12).

The 12 gates in Revelation 21 belong to the New Jerusalem, which comes down from heaven to the new earth (verse 10), shining with the glory of God (verse 11). John describes the city: “It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates.”

The gates are most likely equal distances apart. As the structure is a square, it would make logical sense for there to be 3 gates on the north, 3 on the east, 3 on the west and 3 on the south. (Rev. 21:13).

In Revelation 21:10-12 the apostle John says “And he …showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God….It had a great and high wall and had twelve gates.”

Our natural, fallen man is excluded from New Jerusalem by the (soreg), wall (of separation), the only

WAY to ENTER IN is through THE GATE.

The pearl signifies the death and resurrection of Messiah, through whom we enter New Jerusalem. He tore down that wall which had a literal physical manifestation when the veil/curtain/wall to the Holy of Holies was rent in two. This thick veil in the temple kept everyone out of His Holy presence including the Jewish men.

Eph.2:14  (τὸ μεσότοιχον του̂ φραγμου̂). Paul asserts that Messiah has broken down the “middle wall of partition” (niv “dividing wall of hostility”) that divided Jews and Gentiles, and has made of the two, one new people/man. Paul probably had in mind a literal wall as a tangible symbol of the division between Jews and Gentiles—the wall in the temple area in Jerusalem separating the court of the Gentiles from the courts into which only Jews might enter.

He is the pearl of great price.Each of the 12 pearls speak of great price for which the Messiah/Moshiach ‘sold’ all that he had by giving His all. (Mattiyahu 13:45,46)

Messiah is the crown jewel of heaven and our entrance into the city is through His death and resurrection.

He is the Gate and as Eph. 2:14 tells us: ‘For He is our peace, who of both has made one, breaking down the middle wall of separation.’

The wall in the Temple was only a symbol of the spiritual wall that existed between Jew and Gentile, now because Messiah has broken down the wall, Jew and Gentile can step across it and worship the Lord together. This worship will be for all eternity in Heaven.

Notice the square/cube plan of the Temple blueprint above is the same shape as the New Jerusalem.

Our Heavenly Father Creator of the universe has a blueprint which seems to be recurring throughout Hi-Story.

We are seeing more and more how everything is connected.

As God declares the end from the beginning… did He plant the garden east of Eden, based on His design of the New Jerusalem? It is only new to us!

Gates are significant in scripture and in the days of the New Testament, the Israelites would enter Jerusalem for Passover/Pesach through the Eastern Gate, which led to the Temple. Also called the Golden Gate and the one which Messiah will enter on HIs return.

crucifixion and death at Pesach/Passover. Matt. 21:1-11.

By our inclusion in His death and resurrection, our old man was terminated and buried, the created part of our being was redeemed and justified, we were made alive by being born of the Spirit, and we were raised up in Messiah to walk in newness of life.

All this together is our entrance into New Jerusalem through the PEARL of great price.

Our includes All Gentile/Goyim/Nations/Tribes/Cultures/ Languages/Heathen. Mark. 13:10.  And the gospel of the KINGDOM must first be preached unto all the nations. (The ‘Kingdom of the Heavens/shamayim‘, as John preached; ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.’ Matt. 3:1-2).

Also that the Kingdom of God is also spiritually within us; this is the real meaning of ‘as above so below’! (As always the adversary has taken what was originally Fathers’ and perverted it.)

Before He returns, Matt. 24:14 says it shall be preached “in the whole world, for a testimony unto all the nations” (ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ οἰκουμένῃ εἰς μαρτύριον).

Revelation 21:21a says, “ And the 12 gates were 12 pearls; each one of the gates was, respectively, of one pearl.

Then we see 12 gates, portals, doors or entryways into the city. 

In as much as the ‘city’, is probably an entire planetary celestial object, we must now envision 12 portals or entryways into an entirely new realm, of which we have very little experience or comprehension.

These are guarded by 12 cherubim.  We saw 2 cherubim at the Garden of Eden and 4 surrounding the Throne of God. 

Are these the guardian angels (Cherubim/kerubim) for each of the 12 tribes represented by the 144,000? (Rev. 7:4-8)

The word kerubim has a meaning of ‘one who prays’, or ‘one who intercedes.’ Cherubim or Kerubim are an order of angel described in the Bible and ancient texts as a combination of two, or more often, four creatures — including that of a human. Both the mythical Sphinx and the scriptural cherubim are “hybrid” beings combining two to four creatures.

https://www.minimannamoments.com/keruvim-not-quite-like-we-imagined/

Because the pearl signifies the death and resurrection of Messiah, through which we enter New Jerusalem.  Revelation 21:21 gives an understanding that each gate of the Holy city is one single pearl, signifying that the entrance to the city is unique and is once for all; that is, we can enter the city only through the once-for-all regeneration accomplished by Messiah’s overcoming death and life-imparting resurrection.

The gates of pearl at the entrances to New Jerusalem, are they real?

Because they signify the death and resurrection of Messiah as our entrance into the new creation. They are far more ‘real’ or precious than any physical pearl.

The New Jerusalem, which will also be connected with the New Earth, a large portion of verses are used in describing the foundations of the city. (Hebrews 11:10, Revelation 21:14, 19)

Scripture states these foundations will be 12 in number, 12 has a significant symbolism to the Father.  **There was similar creative detail in the formation of the foundations of this earth in Genesis. The Lord of Hosts marked off its dimension and stretched a measuring line across it, which provided footings to set it, and laid its cornerstone.

(Footings could refer to magnetic properties, as in grounding or earthing as in an electrical power source; and the cornerstone refers prophetically to Messiah Jesus/Yeshua. Eph.2:20. Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, the Alef/Tav-Alpha/Omega-Beginning/End-Genesis/Revelation – the End from the Beginning).

Job 38:5“Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched … Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of …

Isaiah 45:12 KJV: I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even] my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

Most significant is the shape and size of the celestial city, which is enormous. 

Calculated at a diameter of 1,325.75 miles or 2,133.58 km across. 1,200,000 x the height of a man. It’s impossible that 2000 yrs ago a ‘precise guestimate’ was made for its length and breadth as these are = to the principals used in today’s modern engineering. These formulas based on mathematics that validate such construction, have only existed less than 80 years, highlighting the fact that the design of the New Jerusalem, is beyond our current abilities!

Here are some world maps with the New Jerusalem overlaid on different countries to give us a better understanding of its size.

Over the Middle East

Mediteranean

Over America

and Australia

According to scripture, the foundation of the Throne of the Father lies upon a crystal sea, which is the canopy over the cherubim, who in turn form the footings and the cornerstone for the Throne.

Is this a real, liquid, sea?

We know a sapphire-blue is the color of pure water, however, the great multitude of people is standing on the sea. So, this crystalline sea has to be solid enough to support a great multitude and a giant sapphire throne, and has to have the hardness similar to that of a diamond.

According to scientific research, the core building material of this earths matrix is Silicon, and at least one archangel or anointed cherub, Lucifer, was made of silicon and gold.

See in Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14:12-17 the scripture speaks of the King of Tyre/stones of fire?..

Y’ḥezqēl   חֶזְקֵאל

‘Every precious stone was your covering, the ruby, topaz, and emerald, the chrysolite, onyx, and jasper, the sapphire, turquoise, and beryl; your settings and mounts were made of gold. On the day you were created they were prepared. Ezek.28:13.

Silicon based stones seem in large part to encompass the foundations of the New Jerusalem and silicon is the number one conductor of energy (electricity/power) and so is gold. So what is described for us is an enormous storehouse of the eternal, inexhaustible energy of HaShem, our Father, the source of all creation; who upholds all things by the Word of His power.

In Revelation 21:19, the 12 foundations of the New Jerusalem are described:

The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.

 Are the stone foundations on top of one another in layers or next to each other side by side, around the base where each of the 12 tribes gates are?

The first foundation was jasper.

Jasper is a common mineral.  It can be found in many colors one is a very opaque, dense burnt-orange/red colored stone.

There is also a crystalline type of jasper, which is an emerald green color and very similar to crystal clear green Jade which is valued as a very precious stone.

According to some scholars, iaspis, (Strong’s Greek 2393) is a brilliant green crystalline structure.  John writes that the city itself had every appearance of a precious jewel, like jasper, clear as a crystal.

Is it envisioning a traditional foursquare city with foundations settling on a flat surface like the earth?  It does not appear that way because the Greek word, krustallizo, means to be clear or brilliant like a crystal, or having a crystalline matrix like a clear crystal.

The Hebrew is yashpheh, היֱשְׁפֵ        Phonetic Spelling: (yaw-shef-ay’)

(Strong’s 3471) coming from an unused root meaning to polish.

From the context of its use, we could assume that the city is constructed of gem stone quality but this type of gem is only assumed because of the similarity of yashpheh with jasper.

Until the original Breast Plate of the Hebrew High Priest is recovered, it will remain a mystery.  The Greek word for jasper is iaspis (Strong’s 2393) and it’s only translated as jasper.

So we could conclude that when looking from the exterior surface, the city will look like jasper, however there are 12 foundations of the city, the 1st and exterior surface being jasper, the 2nd being sapphire.

While considering these concepts, it’s helpful to remember that we are dealing with crystalline or minerals structures.  Each of the foundation stones has a crystalline matrix and as such, each one transmits energy in a different way.  The transmission of light (energy) will depend on the hue of the color (light frequency) that is transmitted. We looked at the rainbow and light frequencies in a previous post.

The 12

foundation stones

אבן השתייה

Even ha-Shtiyya

There are several variations of the stones names and colors due to translations and modern names. Here are some to help give a visual reference.

v.19 The 1st foundation was Jasper (in some listed as diamond/Yahalom), Jashepheh/Yashpheh-RED/GREEN

the 2nd Sapphire, Sappiyr, Leshem,  -BLUE

the 3rd chalcedony/carbunkle/garnet, Bareqeth from same word as lightning purple-blue or possibly green?

the 4th emerald, Nophek.

v. 20 the 5th Sardonyx, RED and WHITE

the 6th Sardius, Odem-RED

the 7th Chrysolite, Shoham-YELLOW like chrysolite Tarshish (Yellow). 

the 8th Beryl, Tarshish 

the 9th Topaz, Pitdah-YELLOW/BROWN

the 10th Chrysoprase/chrysoprasus, 

the 11th Jacinth or Carbunkle, REDDISH BLACK

and the 12th Amethyst, Aclamah-PURPLE.”

So, if the 1st foundation is an emerald green crystalline hue like jasper where the Throne of the Father positioned upon it, (within its midst).  Then the 2nd foundation is the brilliant blue of sapphire, the same as the foundation below the throne of God, seen as the sea of glass, clear as crystal. 

Is it possible that we are seeing described as the New Jerusalem, is another spherical body, a planet, that has its orbit along side earth during the millennium and at the end of a thousand years it will come down and rest upon the earth?

Revelation 21:1-3 – “Now I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth, for the First Heaven and the First Earth were passed away.  Also there was no more sea.”

Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.”

When John saw the Holy City descending down out of heaven, as described, he stated:

Revelation 21:10-12 – “And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.  Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.  And she had a great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

Traditional pictures of the New Jerusalem are all modeled after ancient or medieval 3-dimensional walled cities. 

None depict a crystalline structure, yet in the days of Herod, Jerusalem ancient writers described the city as shining with the brilliance of whiteness due to the gleaming temple, which was built of polished limestone.

The 12 foundations describe a huge structure, and the measurements are for a 4square or cube-like shape.

The almost unimaginable beauty of the New Jerusalem becomes clear, emerging out of the words in Johns descriptions: whose length, breadth and height are equal, yet having 12 foundations with 12 gates (or we may could call them energy portals) with height, (Greek hypsos), which interestingly suggests some kind of points or crowns, (like a a geo-magnetic structure).

The other possibility is that all the 12 foundations are Diamonds…

Taking the measurements from the ancient human cubit scale and converting into those we use today, the size of such a city would be 12,000 furlongs in height, width and length. A furlong is 220 yards, therefore, each side is 660 feet x 12,000 feet = 7,920,000 feet per side. One mile is 5,280 feet, so each side is 7,920,000 divided by 5280 feet = 1500 MILES on each side.

We are not looking for something the size of our home village, town or city! Or even a place where humans could live!

1,500 X 1,500 x 1,500 = 3,375,000,000 cubic miles for the whole city. 1,500 miles = 2,414.016 kilometers so the city would be 14,067,613,676.25 cubic km. The length and breadth would be 2.25 million square miles, (3.86 million square meters) and including the height, or the cubic size, makes this planetary sphere about 3.375 billion cubic miles or in volume about the size of the moon!

  It will be a self-radiating, there is no need of light for the Lord Himself is the source of LIGHT. Due to His being eternally self-sustaining as an everlasting source of life energy; it will truly be the center of its own heavenly solar system, or universe/shamayim. Here our Heavenly Father Himself, will dwell there with His people and His Omnipotent, all-encompassing presence, will be that in which we will abide.

This is everlasting life, this is heaven – never being separated from Him and all that He is.

Revelation 21: 15-17 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. – KJV

The new international version converts the above measurements to be 2,200km long and wide and high and 65 metres thick.

12,000 furlongs square, while the wall will be 144 (12 x 12) cubits.

To get an idea of how big this is, the average diameter of the earth is 12,742km Earth has an equatorial diameter of 12,756 km (7926 mi),

Since the height, width and length of the walls of the city of New Jerusalem is given, the best statistic to compare with our planet earth is volume. From the measurements of New Jerusalem described above the volume of New Jerusalem is 1.0648x 1010 km3.

According to calculations, the volume of the earth is 1.08321×1012 km3. This implies that the earth is 169 times larger in volume than the city of New Jerusalem! (All measurements are approximations, however we get the idea…Its HUGE!)

As for a planet that could possibly be made of diamonds… think again!

Scientists discover massive planet made of diamonds twice the size of Earth.

(Have scientists discovered a Sanctified World? George Potter) On August 25, 2011 the Reuters news agency announced that “Astronomers have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamond racing around a tiny star in our galactic backyard.

The new planet is far denser than any other known so far and consists largely of carbonBecause it is so dense, scientists calculate that the carbon must be crystalline, so a large part of this strange world will effectively be a diamond.”

There’s No ‘GPS App’ for Our Final Destination. Our Road map is in the Scriptures, so before leaving this page make certain this will be the destination at the end of your road; for His WAY is Clearly Truth and Life.

12 Pearl Gates, 12 Angels, 12 Foundations, 12 Breastplate stones, 12 Apostles, 12 Tribes. The number 12 signifies perfection of government or rule.

The 12’s of the New Jerusalem = the sign of the perfect covenant.

The Name of each tribe is written over a gate.

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

Shalom Mishpachah!

Conclusions coming in Part 2..

Please don’t leave this page without a certainty in your heart that you will one day enter in to Heaven through one of 12 gates of pearl.

Don’t put it off, the days draw ever closer to the door closing at end of this age just as it did in the days of Noah..

NOT CERTAIN?

YOU CAN BE..

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

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

You are greatly loved and very precious in His sight.

The End From The Beginning & Signs Of The Times

I Am God, and There Is None Like Me, Declaring the End From the Beginning, and From Ancient Times the Things That Are Not Yet Done. Isaiah 41:4

Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am He.

In Isaiah 46:10, God stated that He “declared the end from the beginning”, as well as “things that were not yet done”.

What this literally means is, that God not only declared the TIME of the end from the beginning, (meaning the 7 day creation story), but also that the creation story itself is actually prophetic.

A Translation could read:

From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.”

Are the end times upon us? According to those keeping a close eye on the strange happenings in Israel, the answer might well be “yes.”

Predictions about the end of the world seem to appear every time there is an unusual celestial phenomenon, such as a lunar eclipse/blood moon or a comet’s arrival,

but the notable signs in Israel are both more common and more bizarre.

Rabbis and prophecy watchers in Israel have been abuzz over several events which all took place at the end of 2018, they see them as positive signs of Messiah’s soon coming. MMM is not affirming that connection here, however, the signs are interesting enough to sit up and take note.

The 1st of the these strange occurrences was the birth of the first red heifer in 2,000 years on 5th sept 2018.

Many will be purified and purged and refined; the wicked will act wickedly and none of the wicked will understand; but the knowledgeable will understand. Daniel 12:10

The red heifer is described in the Book of Numbers.

“This is the ritual law that Hashem has commanded: Instruct B’nei Yisrael to bring you a red cow without blemish, in which there is no defect and on which no yoke has been laid. Numbers 19:2

One of the commands given to Israel in the Law of Moses requires the birth of the “Parah Adumah”, the red heifer. The sacrifice of the red heifer is to bring purification.

Red heifers are mentioned in rabbinic speculation concerning the end times. The birth of a red heifer, many believe, will herald the building of the Third Temple.  Some Christians believe that such an event will herald the second coming of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua.

One week after it’s birth the calf in question was given an “extensive examination” to see if she was actually “blemish free” as is specified in the Bible.

According to end times literature, the red calf “brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world” paving the way for re-establishing the Temple service and marking the final stage of redemption. It will be sacrificed prior to the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

Rabbinical experts have found that the calf is without blemish as defined by Scripture and thus is a ‘viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer.’

The event was being heralded as the first verified birth of a red heifer in two thousand years.

According to Jewish tradition, there will only be 10 red heifers in human history with the 10th heifer ushering in the Messianic era. 

Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (Maimonides), the most renowned medieval Jewish scholar known by the acronym Rambam, wrote in his explanation of the mitzvah that “the tenth red heifer will be accomplished by the king, the Messiah; may he be revealed speedily, Amen, May it be God’s will.”

Rabbi Chaim Richman, the International Director of the Temple Institute, commented on this on their website.

“If there has been no red heifer for the past 2,000 years, perhaps it is because the time was not right; Israel was far from being ready. But now… what could it mean for the times we live in, to have the means for purification so close at hand? With the words of Maimonides in mind, we cannot help but wonder and pray: If there are now red heifers… is ours the era that will need them?”

The laws pertaining to the mitzvah are myriad and considered by the sages to be the archetypal chok, an inexplicable Torah commandment accepted solely on faith.

For believers we know that Messiah Jesus/Yeshua has fulfilled the mystery of this chok.

Before entering the land of Israel after the Exodus, the heifer was burned outside of the camp. In the days of the Temple, the heifer was taken to the Mount of Olives across a causeway built specifically for this purpose to ensure that there was no inadvertent contact with areas along the way that may have been contaminated by dead bodies.

Cedarwood, hyssop, and wool or yarn dyed scarlet are added to the fire, and the remaining ashes are placed in a vessel containing spring water to purify a person who has become ritually contaminated by contact with a corpse.

Water from the vessel is sprinkled on the subject, using a bunch of hyssop, on the third and seventh day of the purification process. The priest who performs the ritual then becomes ritually unclean, and must then wash himself and his clothes in running waters. He is deemed impure until evening.

No less stringent than the laws pertaining to the heifer are the laws pertaining to the site where the heifer is burned. Almost 30 years ago, Rabbi Yonatan Adler, who is also an archaeologist, performed an in-depth study into the textual references to the site where the red heifer was burned, publishing his results in the Torah journal. 

His calculations, based on the Holy of Holies being located where the Dome of the Rock stands today, led him to a spot where Dominus Flevit, a Catholic Church built in 1955, now stands. Archaeological surveys discovered unique characteristics of the site that corresponded to descriptions in the Talmud.

The 2nd oddity in Israel has baffled scientists across the world.

The Dead Sea is known for its overwhelming salinity; (Hebrew: יָם הַמֶּלַח Yam ha-Melah lit. Sea of Salt; Arabic: البحر الميت ‎ Al-Bahr al-Mayyit) is a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.

The extraordinary abundance of salt in the water makes it both a popular tourist destination and an environment that is completely inhospitable to almost every form of life on the planet.

The Dead Sea is 377 m (1,237 ft) deep, making it the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. A hypersaline lake is a landlocked body of water that contains significant concentrations of sodium chloride or other mineral salts, with saline levels nearly 10 times the salt of the ocean, life in its brine is largely unknown. 

On the shores of the Dead Sea – more than 400 meters below sea level – are freshwater sinkholes, created as a result of dropping water levels. A young woman on a nature hike was shocked recently when she discovered freshwater ponds with fish on the shores of the Dead Sea. 

The sinkholes around its edges, have inexplicably been filled with fish!! An incongruous sight with powerful implications: a prophecy appearing before her eyes that seemed to contradict the laws of nature.

 Where the fish have come from is unknown, and they have been joined by the return of vegetation to the otherwise barren area.

The Bible, however, describes a very different picture of the region. Lot looked out on the valley where the Dead Sea is now and saw an incredibly fertile and well-watered region.

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before Hashem destroyed Sdom and Gomorrah like the garden of Hashem. Genesis 13:10 (The Israel Bible)

The Bible relates that the landscape changed when the fire and brimstone destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah turned the valley into a wasteland. Indeed, people who visit the Dead Sea today would find it difficult to envision a garden in the arid region.

This fits the prophets Zechariah and Ezekiel’s claims that the Dead Sea and the area around it would flourish with life before the world came to an end.

“And it shall come to pass in that day that living waters shall go out from Yerushalayim: half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; in summer and in winter shall it be.” Zechariah 14:8 (The Israel Bible™) 

Then said he unto me: ‘These waters issue forth toward the eastern region and shall go down into the Arabah; and when they shall enter into the sea into the sea of the putrid waters the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass that every living creature wherewith it swarmeth whithersoever the rivers shall come shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither that all things be healed and may live whithersoever the river cometh. Ezekiel 47:8-9 (The Israel Bible)

In the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet speaks of what will take place in the last days.

The Jewish people will be regathered from the ends of the earth back to the land of Israel.

The Temple will be rebuilt.

And water will flow from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea.

As it flows, it will bring life from death and fish will swim in the waters of the Dead Sea. Fish have never been spotted in the Dead Sea… that is, apparently, until the end of 2018.

 

The 3rd eerie happening in Israel is enough to send shivers down the spine!

At around the same time of the birth of the red heifer, while Jewish people were praying at the Western Wall, a very different creature appeared.

A snake began slithering out from the stones in the Western Wall, interrupting the prayers being offered there. As the serpent is a creature often associated with evil, the event, the first of its kind to be recorded, sparked off more speculation concerning ‘dangerous times’ and the coming of Messiah.

Understandably, worshipers there at the time were in shock as it is one of Israel’s holiest sites. 

Is A Snake Appearing From Temple Mount Connected to the Messiah and Third Temple?

The snake was identified as a coin-marked snake, or leaden-colored racer, and it was not a small specimen either.

Rough estimates place it at over three feet long.

There is something ominous about the unexpected appearance of the animal so often associated with evil in the Bible in a place that is meant to be filled with worship.

Let them lick dust like snakes, Like crawling things on the ground! Let them come trembling out of their strongholds To Hashem our God; Let them fear and dread You! Micah 7:17 (The Israel Bible™)

The incident is considered the 3rd sign of the approaching Apocalypse.

The snake crawled out of the stones at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and frightened the dove it was trying to catch which was sitting on the wall.

According to Torah scholars, prophecy considered to be of EPIC PROPORTION has been fulfilled! 

When this snake came wriggling out from between the stones of the Western Wall it brought with it a message straight from Jewish mystical teachings; connecting the archetypal enemy of man with the High Priest in the Temple, and also, perhaps, serving as a harbinger of the Messiah.

Scholars noted as it flew away and found refuge within the rocks of the wall, so must the Jews remain close to their TORAH as evil closes in on the world.. 

Just as the dove is safe so long as it seeks shelter among the stones of the Temple Mount, the Jews are protected by the Torah commandments. When the dove comes out from the stones or the the Jews move away from the Torah, they are in danger.

Torah scholars also claimed the appearance of a snake coming out of the stones of the Temple Mount could be seen as an auspicious sign. In gematria (Hebrew numerology) nachash (snake)  נחש equals 358, the same as Moshiach (Messiah) משיח. An explanation is that the evil inclination, personified by the snake in Eden, will make a resurgence in the days before Messiah appears as holiness also increases in the world in the end-of-days.
Another connection between the lowly snake and holiness is implicit in the Hebrew words.
The letters of the word nachash can be rearranged to spell choshen (breastplate), worn by the Kohen Gadol (high priest) in the Temple. It is stated that the tikkun (fixing) of the snake would be accomplished in the Third Temple by way of the breastplate. Embedded in the breastplate were 12 precious stones, each representing a tribe of Israel. When faced with a difficult situation, the kings of Israel could inquire and the stones of the breastplate would shine in sequence, providing them with a divine response to their question. This was a Tikkun for the snake which gave a deceitful response to Eve.

The appearance of the snake was not the first frightening incident to take place at the Wailing Wall this year.

On 22nd July 2018 an elderly worshipper had a close call when a 100-kg (220 lb) stone suddenly fell from Jerusalem’s Western Wall (kotel) and crashed at her feet on to the egalitarian plaza, a prayer platform.

Jerusalem Antiquities authorities are investigating and say they will respect its ‘sensitivity.’

The Wall, is more than 2,000 years old. 

It became known by Europeans as the Wailing Wall, a translation of the Arabic, el-Mabka.

Rabbis look up to where the boulder fell from.

Could it be that….

?????????

Another sign appeared on Hoshana Rabba, the last day of Sukkot, when a large cloud of mist began billowing up from the ground inside the Temple Mount Compound, surrounding the Dome of the rock for several minutes. 

In October, a group of Jews praying on the Mount of Olives witnessed a large white cloud rise up out of the ground from the Temple Mount.

I wipe away your sins like a cloud, Your transgressions like mist— Come back to Me, for I redeem you. Isaiah 44:22 (The Israel Bible™)

Most were immersed in their holiday prayers and had not noticed but when it was pointed out, they confirmed the mist’s presence. The phenomenon lingered on the ground around the golden dome for more than 20 minutes.  

When Rabbi Yosef Berger heard of the sighting, he responded with equanimity.

“If you had told me that it happened any other day of the year, I would not have assigned it any significance,” Rabbi Berger told Breaking Israel News. “But to have this cloud appear on Hoshana Rabbah is highly significant and makes me happy, knowing the geula (redemption) is at hand.”

Sanhedrin Invites 70 Nations to Hanukkah Dedication of Altar for the Third Temple

The altar built by the Temple Institute to be used in service in the rebuilt Third Jewish Temple.

As Breaking Israel News reported earlier this month, the Temple Institute in Jerusalem has completed the construction of the stone altar required for the sacrificial service in the Holy Temple.

The ceremony included the consecration of a stone altar prepared for use in the Third Temple. The declaration was intended as an invitation to the nations to participate in the Temple and to receive its blessings.

The altar is currently in the form of loose stone blocks ready to be transported to the Temple Mount and stored in a manner that will enable them to be transported and assembled at a moment’s notice. When complete, the altar will be a square nine feet on each side and five feet tall, and includes a ramp for the priests to ascend.

For believers neither building nor further sacrifices are required as we are the living stones of the Temple/Body of Messiah Jesus/Yeshua the building of the 3rd Temple is to fulfill Biblical end-time prophecy.

Interesting note: 70 is the number of languages that were given to divide and separate the people after the tower of Babel incident, are they now being re-assembled??

And yet another harbinger reported..

Is increasing Snowfall in Sahara Desert a Sign of Messianic Redemption?

Snow in the Sahara desert has been a rare phenomenon, yet the Algerian town of Ain Sefra experienced on its second snowfall of the winter.

Of course, a second snowfall in the same winter was even more unforeseen, amazed locals woke up to see the desert sands coated again in approximately half a foot of snow.

Such rare weather patterns may very well be a sign of the Messianic era as the prophet Isaiah speaks repeatedly of deserts blooming in his description of the end of days.

“I am about to do something new; Even now it shall come to pass, Suddenly you shall perceive it: I will make a road through the wilderness And rivers in the desert.”

 

Another significant occurrence is that of a Special Torah Scroll Written for Messiah has been Completed.

Rabbi Yosef Berger, one of the rabbis in charge of King David’s Tomb in Jerusalem’s Old City, took an enormous step towards making his year-long dream a reality.

Rabbi Berger’s dream was to write a Torah scroll to present to the Messiah upon his arrival. Since David’s Tomb, the burial place of the Messiah’s ancestor, is located on Mount Zion, Rabbi Berger is uniquely positioned to personally present the Torah to the Messiah.

The Rabbi believes that by writing a Torah scroll which includes all of Israel, and keeping that scroll on Mount Zion, it will fulfill the requirements to usher in the Messiah.

Rabbi Berger explained to how he learned this from Yalkut Shimoni, a collection of teachings believed to have been arranged in the 13th century. He quoted the text:

“’Rabbi Shimon Ben Monsia said, ‘No signs of redemption will be shown to Israel until they seek these three things – the kingdom of heaven , the dynasty of King David, and the building of the Temple.’ Writing a scroll housed on Mount Zion, where King David is interred, and adjacent to the Temple Mount, will accomplish all three goals in one action,” the rabbi explained.

In December, the first letters of the scroll were inscribed by Rabbi David Hai Abuhatzeira, the grandson of the prominent Moroccan Sephardic mystic Rabbi Israel Abuhatzeira, known as the Baba Sali.

At the time, Rabbi Abuhatseira urgently instructed the organizers of the project, “Write the Sefer Torah as fast as possible, you don’t have much time!…I hope you have a chance [to finish]!”

It appears that Rabbi Berger finished this stage of the project in time. Last Thursday, the ceremony to consecrate the new Torah scroll began at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem and moved to the adjacent Ohel Yitzchak Synagogue, where the final letters were written by a collection of honored rabbis. Thousands of celebrants accompanied the Torah scroll to its new home at David’s Tomb on Mount Zion.

The ceremony was on the seventh day of the Hebrew month Adar, which is both the birth date and the Yahrtzeit (anniversary of the death) of Moses. Apropos to the momentous occasion, Rabbi Berger announced to the crowd, “Moses was truth, and his Torah was truth, and this Torah will never change.”

He then quoted from the book of Hosea
“For the Bnei Yisrael shall sit solitary many days without king and without prince and without sacrifice and without pillar and without ephod or teraphim; afterward shall Bnei Yisrael return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and shall come trembling unto the LORD and to His goodness in the end of days.” (Hosea 3:4-5)

One final report is one that is related to the Feast of Trumpets/ Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashanah.

In the summer of 2016 there was a revival of the 4 horned variety of Jacob Sheep which got their name in the late 19th century because their spots and speckles match the description in the Book of Genesis of Jacob’s flock. 

And the flocks conceived at the sight of the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted. Genesis 30:39

Apparently their horns are very significant and used as shofars.

On 20th August 2018 Jacobs sheep were moved to the Temple grazing ground.

And you, O Migdal-eder, Outpost of Fair Tzion, It shall come to you: The former monarchy shall return— The kingship of Fair Yerushalayim. Micah 4:8 (The Israel Bible™)

Migdal Eder is also identified by the Prophet Micah as the place from which the dynasty of King David will be reestablished.

After a journey from the other side of the world, the flock of 100 Jacob’s Sheep may have found a permanent home; Migdal Eder, a site designated for grazing animals destined for the Temple altar. They are currently in Gush Etzion awaiting the construction of facility in Migdal Eder (the tower of the flock) the place from which the Messiah is prophesied to come at the sound of the Last Trump!

Last but not least front and center in the news … There is also a strong indication of a Peace Deal in the not too distant future…..An agreement to divide Jerusalem and establish a PLO state is a tribulation event….

From a Biblical prophetic perspective, the reason why the God of Israel would allow these events to happen is because it will result in the end of the exile of the house of Jacob and the reunification of the 12 tribes of Israel (Ephraim and Judah).

We will to be “watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem” and we will not rest until the God of Israel makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth (Isaiah 62).

Rest assured, our Heavenly Father has all things in His control and in His timing for He has said…

From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.”
