There is a precious connection to the servant heart of a brave, courageous, faith filled and obedient woman called Hadassah whose memory is celebrated each year at Purim and to the coming Messiah. He came the first time as the suffering servant whose brave, courageous, faith filled and obedient life and death opened the WAY to eternal life in the presence of God for whosoever will accept His offer.
One thing is clear and that is we are to emulate and follow Him. His instructions for our new life in Him are recorded for our benefit and education. His Words are instructions for life/chaim.
Mark 9:35 KJV: And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.
First a word of encouragement…
It is soon the time of year we remember Messiahs sacrificial death and the celebration of His resurrection which gives us more than a fleeting wishful thought of a future with the Lord; it is a hope that is rooted deep in faith anchored in the foundation of the written word of promise which was fulfilled in the physical life of a physical savior; and who is Himself the living Word and will physically return.

The spirit of Jesus/Yeshua is the spirit of prophecy; and He is that self fulfilling prophecy whose words of promise will not pass away but will be fulfilled just as He spoke. These words are recorded for us in the 4 gospels, Acts and in Revelation.
He is faithful and true and we can be assured that all is well.
He is in control of all things.
Nothing is a surprise to Him because He is the great co ordinator watching over His creation to will and to do His good pleasure.
1 Chronicles 28:20 – And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
5 Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said,
I will not
in any way fail you
nor give you up nor leave you without support.
[I will] not,
[I will] not,
[I will] not in any degree leave you helpless
nor forsake
nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)!
[Assuredly not!]
Hebrews 13:5 Amp.
Do not be dismayed for those things coming upon the earth.
Joshua 8:1, God says, “Fear not, neither be dismayed.”
Yes, there may be a dark and evil storm raging around us, and some tribulations coming upon the earth at this season; for we are in a time of great change.
Things will be different going forward as scripture is being fulfilled before our eyes. BUT the Lord says,
“Do not be dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.”
and He has armies that we do not see.
So let the peace of God rule and reign in our hearts, His true Shalom!
Continuing from previous post…
https://www.minimannamoments.com/what-has-a-flower-got-to-do-with-a-servant-heart-salvation-and-a-bridegroom/
there is a need for us to know our identity… who we really are.
We are not the persona we have created for ourselves, namely the one we show to the world or even the one we show to church members, nor even maybe family members. In reality we are who God made us to be, and as we have accepted the terms of the renewed covenant;
we are grafted in to the olive tree of spiritual Israel and
now part of Messiahs Bride/Kallah.
We are joint heirs with Him.
We are now to become the person that He strategically placed and positioned here on this earth for this season and His reason.
We are bought with a price that we could never repay and like Esther/Hadassah, for such a time as this we were called into His Kingdom.
The church age is finite.
In that, it had a specific beginning on the day of Pentecost and it will have a specific end; an alpha and omega, an alef and tav.
One day this age will end.
That day will be the day Messiah comes for His Bride, His Challah and time is running out.
2000+ years have passed and if we believe the 1000 year to a day ratio, then 2 days are completed and
on the third day I will raise you up!
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30 will fail to receive many times more at the proper time—
and in the age to come, eternal life.”
The Kingdom Age is an eternal one, infinite and it’s the one we are familiar with and say as part of the Lords /apostles/disciples prayer.
THY KINGDOM COME…..
We are, saints, children of the Most High, and are to be sharing the good news that the DALET/door to salvation, the WAY to eternal life is still available for whosoever will.
Encourage all to Seek Him while He may be found. As Messiah said:
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
And So must we…
This Gregorian calendar year of 2020 reminds us of the optician chart that measures if we have 20-20 vision… the message is clear for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
One aspect of 2020 is that it overlaps with Hebrew year 5780, where the Hebrew character that represents 80, (PeyFey) is a pictograph representing an open mouth.
A reference perhaps to prophecy, and the spoken word. It also speaks of grace for reaching the lost through declaring the gift of salvation through Messiah. We are to speak out and boldly declare the signs of the times.
And for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. Eph. 6:19
The salvation of the people is the most important thing and that it can be found by turning to Jesus and turning means repenting of our rebellion and sinful ways.
Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways, and correct your ways and deeds. Jer.4:1
Turn and keep on coming.
There is always resistance to this message of repentance and holiness, but the word says:
But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.
On the behavioral aspect of Holiness that Hebrews 12:14 touches on, its clear, without pursuing holiness – no one will see The Lord.
Intimacy with God, communion with Ruach HaKodesh/ Holy Spirit, will not be taking place unless one pursues holiness.
It requires a cleansing of our hearts and allowing Him to wash us clean with His precious blood.
And a purging by fire.
It surely is not ‘coincidence’ that the whole world is being told to wash its hands!
They shall wash their hands and their feet, so that they may not die. It shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his offspring throughout their generations. Isaiah 1:16
As above so below,
on earth as it is in heaven;
the duality of spirituality.
What is happening on the earth is indicative of what is taking place in the spiritual realm.
Everything we need to know is in His Word – He has EVERYTHING covered!
Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” James 4:8,
This is not insignificant as many of todays pulpits are not calling for repentance or holiness. It does not have the same appeal as other subjects yet
Jesus own words in Luke 13:1-9
3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish…
If you don’t get right with God, you are going to perish.”
This is part of our calling, to pray more will be saved.
It was David who then pondered who could go into the presence of such a holy sovereign Lord…
(i.e., to the tabernacle on the hill [holy hill in Psa.2:6] of the Lord and its holy place).
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
Ps 24:3
Verse 4 answers: He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
Only those whose heart is pure and hands are clean.
God’s hill is, in reality, the highest heaven, wherein He has His dwelling-place. Then its’ representative on earth was, Mount Zion, where it was already pre determined that the temple should be built, and where David was about to transfer the ark of the covenant.
This question was asked as a warning to the Levites, because David was ready to have them move the ark. He was ensuring that they would purify themselves in heart and soul before taking part in the serious and holy ceremony.
Or who shall stand in his holy place?
Who: This refers to those who shall stand and minister inside the tabernacle, when the ark has been placed inside, and it has thus become, God’s Holy place?
His throne/kapporet/presence, here on earth.
We are to rend our hearts in true repentance and sorrow for Salvation is by God’s decision and God’s decision is based on what He sees (1 Samuel 16:7).
Some things that God delights in seeing:
obedience (1 Samuel 15:22)
repentance (2 Chronicles 7:13-14; Jeremiah 18:7-10; Jonah 3:10) humility,
and we know He looks on the heart motive.
Psalms 15 and Isaiah 33:15; Isaiah 33:18.
These give an elaboration of this answer, which is remarkable, because it expresses in language so clear that a child may understand it.
It is simply that the only service, the only character which can be thought worthy of such a habitation, is that which conforms itself to the laws of:
truth,
honesty,
humility,
justice,
love.
Millenia have passed, Jerusalem has fallen, the Jewish monarchy, its priesthood with its rituals and religion have been missing, yet Davids words by which all wise and good men would measure the worth and value of men remain.
Only those that are truly His.
Only those that love and trust Him enough to continue to abide in Him, through obedience and love.
Those who, knowing His word, loving it, and living it, will speak it, without fear or compromise.
Those who answered His call to true Holiness/set-apartness.
Sadly it is not those who claim to be His and yet do not obey His commands, or continually follow His Way.
He is still calling with the open invitation, yet only a few will come. Matt. 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.
The truth is clear that if we are in sin we cannot stand in His Holy/Kadosh place. A Holy God does not live where sin is, and we must be filled with His Holy Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh, clothed with His Spirit, that robe of righteousness –
the correct wedding garment.
Once we let the light of His love and glory shine upon us, in us and through us, all will be revealed to us that we need to do to remain His.
We are to run to His light today and be so full, that others will see this light and want it for themselves. this is what He calls us to do, reveal the light of Jesus to the world.
Being of service to others – by being a servant that is how to be the true bride/challah of the King, holy – without spot or wrinkle. Holiness unto the Lord – this is also engraved on the crown of the High Priest.
Dedicated and single minded.
Like both Esther/Hadassah and Jesus/Yeshua.
He is faithful and true.
Doesn’t He deserve the same attributes and character from His bride to be? And surely why He asks if will He find faith(fullness) in His servants when He comes? Luke 18:8.
Being faithful means to be true to one’s word or promises, be steady in allegiance, and be consistent with the truth. A faithful person is loyal, reliable, trustworthy, and believable. From a Spiritual perspective, faithful means to literally be full of faith.
Faithful if necessary unto death…
https://www.minimannamoments.com/who-was-hadassah/
Matt 24:42-51; Mark 13:34-37; Luke 12:35-48.
The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times? Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes. Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
It immediately preceeds the parable of the 10 virgins which has a similar eschatological theme of being prepared for the day of reckoning.
What is the meaning of being a Servant?
Servant in the New Testament is the correct translation of 3 Greek words: Diakonos oiketays and doulos.
These three words are worlds apart because
Diakonos is also translated as minister and Deacon while
doulos and oiketays are also translated slave,
meaning bond servant.
An oiketays was a bond servant who was only a household servant: a maid, a Cook, a nurse, a butler or similar work.
A bond servant is a person who has been purchased for a specific time or job.
We are to be serving the servant King.
In the late 1800s it was common for people in Europe to agree to work for an American Company for a specified time in payment for their passage to the USA.
A believer is to be this bond servant for the Lord in the sense that we are obligated totally to Him because our Redeemer purchased us with His blood/His life. He is more than an employer because He has each of us under contract/covenant.
This is different from slavery because we have free will and can the break contract if we desire.
In Romans Paul wrote to Titus, in Jacobs letter to Peter and Jude also starts by referring to the author as a doulos, a bond servant of God or Yeshua.
The relationship to people is as a diakonos and some translations use servant/minister to illustrate this point.
A minister is ordained to serve people, as Jesus/Yeshua came to serve, not to be served. Matthew 20:28
In the Hebrew scriptures, the references to slaves are overwhelmingly to bond servants and specifically that meaning.
In Greek and Roman law, slaves were possessions, like furniture, that an owner could treat however he wanted to, even killing a slave was not considered a crime.
In Scripture, the slaves were bond servants who had to be set free if they were injured. Exodus 21:26:27.
Every Hebrew bond servant was released in the seventh year and all bond servants were released in the Jubilee 50th year.
Ezekiel 27:13 is The only reference to slavery in the Hebrew Scriptures, where the phrase nefesh adam is used, it’s commonly translated as human lives or human souls.
In the New Testament the only reference to Greek and Roman slavery is in Revelation 18:13 where the Greek word somata is used of the merchants weeping over the loss of their wealth with the destruction of Babylon.
Here it is speaking of them as possessions which was the case with slavery and was not only in Greece and Rome but also in other countries. This was not the slavery of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Hammash is a Hebrew word that means servant. shammash (also spelled “shammas”) As in servant candle on the menorah.
Also He was the Branch as the branch of the menorah and the branches of the myrtle/haddasah/Esther, as well as other trees, mentioned in Nehemiah 8:15; were to be used as construction for the booths!
The booths/tabernacles, the sukkahs, the temporary shelters, for the final feast of succot which represents God tabernacling/dwelling with His people.

Hebrew Words for Servant:
Ehbed
עֶבֶד
and
Sharath
שָׁרַת
The Hebrew word for ‘Servant’ is משרת (meh-sha-ret) for male and משרתת (meh-sha-reh-tet) for female.
This is used mainly for domestic servants and is not considered politically correct anymore so we say rather someone is a person employed by another to perform tasks and duties serves only at the employers pleasure as they are not related to the one they are working for.
The first time God called someone My Servant, is in Job 1:8
The book of Job is considered the oldest of the books and immediately we read that haSatan /adversary is in the Courts of Heaven.
He doesn’t own up to anything specific but only that he has been going to and fro about his business as the prince of this world. When Satan least expected it, an irresistible opportunity is dangled in front of his eyes and he doesn’t waste any time taking the bait as he seeks to enlarge his own reputation at the expense of what he erroneously imagines is an incorrect assessment of Gods Servant Job.
Job 1:8:
The Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil.”
Surely it aggravated Satan that God had built a hedge of protection around righteous Job. We know that because of his instant response and not needing to even check Job out…
“Take down the hedge of protection and stretch forth your hand and take away all his blessings and he will curse you to your face”
“I will not do that” reported the Lord. “But I will allow you to do your worst against Job except you must not take his life.”
No doubt Satan immediately rushed out eager to begin doing his worst against the one man that God considered precious in His sight.
The one who God called, My Servant Job.
Genesis 18:1-3. The Hebrew word Servant is in the story of the Lord appearing unto Abraham to announce the soon arrival of the Promised Son!
And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Ehbed דבֶעֶ
Ayin beyt and dalet
Dalet/daleth beyt/bet/beit ayin
(or Avdi) Remember b is also a letter v.
The word servant used for Moses is
Ehbed and indicates ownership.
It is often used as a term to describe a bond-servant or a slave who has been set free by the owner but chooses by his/her freewill to remain with his owner and serve him out of love and devotion.
Both Joshua and Moses are called servants the one for Moses is Ehbed;
but the word used for Joshua is very different, it is Sharath. This tells us more about each of them and their ministries.
Joshua 1:1,2 opens with a command to the new leader.
Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
In this verse the Hebrew word ehbed is servant and used for Moses indicating ownership. (As we just saw above, it’s often used to describe a bond-servant who has been set free but chooses to remain with his owner and serve him out of love and devotion.)
The word used for Joshua is very different it is Sharath. The word here which is translated as Moses’ minister, also means servant; but refers to a high ranking servant, who directly and personally ministers to his master.
Genesis 9: 25 is the first place where the word Ehbed is used
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Ehbed of Ehbed means Servant of servants and reveals the consequences of the sin of Canaan/Cain. This being that he is destined to never again serve God, his true master, but instead he will be forced to serve only other servants. It will not be his free will choice but he will be forced to serve out of duty and not out of love and devotion. This indicates he will be the lowest of servants.
Ehbed is spelled Ayin Beyt Dalet.
A look at the pictographs may give some more insight.
Ayin is the picture of the eye and means to see, to know, or to experience.
Beyt is the picture of the tent and indicates a family or a dwelling place, and is the first letter in the Torah that identifies the Son of God.
Dalet is the picture of the doorway and points to a pathway, a gate, a place of decision, or a place where change can take place.
The pictographs reveal the meanings of the original Hebrew words show in the word Ehbed that Moses could willingly choose to serve God because he had not only experienced Him but had come to know God the Son and in this relationship he came to a place of decision. Moses was the author of the accounts in Genesis of Abraham and Jacob and their meetings with God in the flesh, which seems to be indicating the person of Jesus/Yeshua as the preincarnate Messiah.
Genesis 39:4 is the first place Sharath is found. When in Egypt, Jacobs son Joseph, was serving as a personal slave to Pharaoh’s captain of the guard, Potifer.
And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
Sharath translates as the word served and tells us Joseph was a high ranking and trusted slave even though he was in a foreign land.
The conditions Joseph was in and the grace extended to him indicates he must have served with whole-hearted devotion.
in Exodus 33:11. Joshua showed this same whole-hearted devotion towards Moses
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
The verses in Exodus 24:13 & 33:11 tell us that in the Tabernacle Joshua was in Gods presence with Moses and on the mountain.
Joshua was there to serve Sharath Moses wherever he went.
Sharath is spelled Sheen Reysh Tav.
And the pictographs of Sharath reveal the following:
Sheen/Shin is the picture of teeth and means to destroy or to press and is the one letter God uses to identify Himself.
Reysh/Resh is the picture of the head and stands for the leader, the highest, the most important, or the prince.
Tav is the picture of crossed wooden sticks and symbolizes a covenant, a sign, or a cross and can mean to seal.
The pictographs of Sharath reveal how devoted Joshua was in his service to Moses.
At this point we need to remind ourselves that Joshua is a type of Jesus/Yeshua. Joshua served with the same loving devotion that the Son of God would show His Father as He went to the cross.
Hidden in the pictographs was the mystery kept for us, so that we could see that it was written so long ago. Declaring that in loving devotion to His Heavenly Father, Jesus/Yeshua would go to His death on the cross of His own free will.
The Sharath /servant, Messiah would by doing so fulfill the Father’s plan of salvation for all those under the curse of sin.
Known also as the suffering servant.
Remembering that each Hebrew letter is also a number, we can gain a little further insight.
The letter Sheen is the number 300 and signifies the final blood sacrifice of the Perfect Lamb of God.
The letter Reysh is the number 200 and balances the complete sufficiency of God with the insufficiency of man.
Tav is the number 400 and stands for a divinely ordained period of time that will bring about deliverance and renewal.
Here we see a summing up of the plan of God:
the blood sacrifice of Jesus/Yeshua, the Lamb of God, will be sufficient to deliver fallen man from the bondage of sin and bring us to a new life in Him.
There is one more mystery we can now see makes sense.
(And as there is no word for coincidence in Hebrew as everything is considered part of Gods plan.)
It is more than interesting that of all the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph Beyt; the last 3 letters
sheen reysh tav
make up the word Sharath.
Just as the first three letters Aleph Beyt Gimel stand for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and begin/genesis our story,
av ben ruach
father son spirit
the last 3 show us there will be a
Servant
sheen reysh tav
Sh-r-th
Sharath
No we know who will finish this story for us:
the Son Yeshua will be Sharath to the Father
and will finish the plan of salvation
at the Tav,
the wooden cross.
Servant
Dalet Beyt Ayin
4 2 70
the meaning of the three letters in the Hebrew word we translate into English as Servant.
Ayin
To See Know Experience To Understand
Beyt
The House or Tent
God the Son
Dalet
Jesus/Yeshua The Door that Leads to Eternal Life…
God has placed a hidden in plain sight revelation at the root of the picture meaning of the word Servant.
This revealing/apocalypse, is meant to cause us to re-examine the concept from God’s vantage point and to understand the ultimate purpose of a servant, ehbed.
Recall earlier, that servant is defined in the dictionary as “a person employed by another to perform duties, most often those duties are domestic.”
The servant is the one person who is welcomed into the home in order to assist in the smooth management of the household. The servant is not related to the master of the household but serves at his pleasure.
Hebrew Word Picture for the Servant is below and gives another picture of a servant.
there is a discernible difference in the meaning:
To see, know and experience the Home of the Prince of Heaven, the Son of God by entering into the Door that sets us on the path/WAY to heaven and eternal life.
God called Job My Servant.
BUT
Job had not seen, known or experienced the home of the Prince of Heaven, the Son of God…or had he??
Had Job entered the door that leads to Eternal Life? Actually the answer is YES, if we consider Jobs declaration of faith in the Redeemer as recorded in:
Job 19:25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
Therefore it should surely follow that those who are God’s servants here on earth will one day see, know and experience heaven. But we know our Heavenly Father is not looking for domestic servants in shamayim/heaven.
So what is God’s plan for His servants here on earth?
If it were not promised in the Scriptures over and over again, the answer is almost too incredible to voice, because the answer is, that the God who called Job, My Servant, would one day call Job His adopted son!
His spiritual future destiny was to call his Creator Father, Abba, Av /Avinu, his Heavenly Father.
Job’s
spiritual future destiny is also our
spiritual future destiny…
if we love God and have put our faith and trust in His only begotten Son; who came to undo the curse brought into the world by Satan and sin; and redeem us from it by His own blood.
Messiahs promise to His disciples:
John 15:15
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Listen to what Yeshua/Jesus says to us:
John 1:11
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
First, Yeshua/Jesus came as the servant of all
and now we understand the fuller meaning of the mystery contained in the Ancient Hebrew Pictograph word pictures.
His servant heart preceded His Coronation
and so too does ours!
The king is coming!
Now we understand what a servant is, even though we are also His friends, let us be found faithful servants; discerning the fullness of His calling on our lives as we each serve Him in all truth as a bond-servant…..
ONE who has been set free but chooses to remain with his owner and serve him out of love and devotion.
Bond servants – ehbed and sharath
for the coming king of kings and Lord of Lords.
We Have this BLESSED ASSURANCE!
Charts showing the line of Levites priestly calling
The other Levites were employed in more menial tasks, such as the housekeeping of the tabernacle, keeping oil in the lamps, transporting the Ark of the Covenant, taking down and setting up the tabernacle when moving, and related tasks in assisting the priests The priests could offer sacrifices for the people, burn incense on the altar, and teach the law. The Aaronic (or Levitical) Priesthood thus functioned only within the tribe of Levi, and the right to have it conferred upon one was determined by lineage and worthiness. The lineal restrictions of that Aaronic (Levitical) Priesthood were lifted when the law of Moses was fulfilled, and thereafter the offices of the priesthood were conferred upon worthy men without limitation to the tribe of Levi. Numbers 8. (10)
