Begin At His Beginning – B’reshiyt

As mentioned in the last post we are at the start of the annual weekly scripture portions reading through Tanakh comprising the Torah, the Haftorah and the Brit Chadashah/Re New-ed Covenant/Testament.

So we should therefore…

Begin at His Beginning

and God said

Let Light Be and Light was

Youngs Literal Translation

The Word was there

B’reshiyt – in the beginning,

at the shaping of the heavens and the earth.

The Word was with God and the Word was God.

Without Him not even one thing existed

for it was through Him He spoke and

all things came into being.

Millennia later that same Word

was made flesh and lived among us.

John 1:14

A translation of

Genesis

B’reshiyt

from the Hebrew words and their meanings:

Could be read as: and the land had existed in confusion and was unfilled, and darkness was upon the face of the deep water and the wind of Elohiym was fluttering upon the face of the waters,

The fluttering

is significant as we read in 

Mark 1:10

“he (John) saw the heavens torn open, and the Spirit like a dove descending on Him (Jesus).

The wings of a dove are always

fluttering

to stay in the air.

Here was the Son, the Father as He spoke, and His Spirit was present descending in the same way a fluttering dove would hover just as He had overshadowed Mary several decades previously.

Verse 3

and

For those desiring to do further research

there is an excellent transliteration site

of Hebrew to English is at qbible.com

Emptiness and the deep gave way to substance;

and darkness gave way to light.

Nothingness obeyed the Word

and responded to the authority of His will.

Then creation stumbled in humanity, in us,

when humanity heard the Word,

substance became nothingness

and light reverted to darkness.

It should give us pause for thought when

nothingness can hear and obey!

Then why are we so stubborn?

We so often fail to both hear, to listen to His Word and do what He says!

Even nothingness was not rebellious to the Creators voice!

This heart of rebellion in the human soul echoes the words of the slyest beast of the field…

Did God say?

Did He really say?

The voice of doubt, curiosity and rebellion, seeks a compromise of His truth and in the very question, undermines the authority of His Sovereignty in our lives. These doubts attack our convictions and then we consider other things that amount to nothing more than deceptive seducing lies; then we begin to entertain thoughts concerning them…and eventually believe the error.

He has given each of us

the power to choose when we hear His Word.

To listen and obey,

or to ignore,

separation from the Father is the inevitable result.

Sin will always challenge the Word

BUT

the good news is

we have been created anew

and have been given New Life in Messiah

and been granted rulership over sin.

We are new creatures in His image and likeness

and have the power in Yeshua/Jesus

to turn from sin and darkness.

Halleluyah!

In Hebrew Bereshit or B’reshiyt

is the first word of the 1st book of the Bible/Tanakh.

And so the title is its’ beginning.

(His Torah being the first 5 books attributed to Moses).

The very first letter of the 1st word is

B

in the Hebrew alefbet

Bet/Beit/Beyt

and herein is the 1st revelation/revealing

of Adonai/Yehoveh/YHVH.

This letter Bet or Beit means house.

Some scholars point out that the letter itself is composed of

3 x the letter shape of the letter vav

(our letter V as in vine).

Bet is also used for the letter V, vet without the dot.

Vav represents the number 6

which is considered the number of man.

Side note: 3×6! Sounds familiar?

Revelation 13:18 says,

Here is wisdom.

Let him who has understanding

calculate the number of that beast,

for the number is that of a man;

and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Vav Vav Vav

not to forget a previous post on who has our vav!

https://www.minimannamoments.com/in-times-of-need-and-during-days-of-uncertainty-whos-got-our-vav/

 

 

In the letter B,

is then the sum of 3×6=18

and is the same numerical value

as that of the word for LIFE – Chai.

This could be said as:

the house of creation is then the life of the universe?

The same word Bet

also has another function

in the Hebrew language

and means IN.

This suggests our Creators intention of

living/abiding

withIN this realm He created.

This voice/Kol,

that He spoke,

reveals the glorious power of the creation of the universe

by His spoken Word

and in a way reveals the threefold nature of Yehoveh by the use of the plural ElohIM and the word bara He created; which we noted earlier that all 3 were present at Yeshua/Jesus’ immersion.

Let’s take a moment to remember

our bereshiyt, our beginning,

the day we were forgiven,

redeemed,

cleansed,

delivered from darkness

and brought into His glorious light.

The day we repented of our sin

accepted His free gift of salvation and eternal life;

cleansed and restored to fellowship/relationship with Him.

We are made clean by His redeeming Blood and

the washing of the water of the Word.

This was the moment

Our Heavenly Father

said/spoke

to each of us:

Light Be!

יְהִי / yê’hi) LIGHT אוֹר / or and

His spirit of holiness, His

רוּחַ  Ruach אֱלהִים elohim

Pronounced: roo’-akh -el-o-heem

fluttered over us

much~FLUTTER (V)~ing(fs) מְרַחֶפֶת / mê’ra’hhe’phet, 

and darkness had to flee from us.

Yes, God did say ….

May we have ears to hear and eyes to see

and a heart to obey

the Word that He really and truly spoke.

His plan was and is to give us Life/ Chaim

and the Light was the Life of all humanity

Jesus/Yeshua HaMashiach. The WORD there in the 

בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית

He truly is the Genesis, the beginning, the b’reshiyt;

our beginning, our b’reshiyt, …

it is the Truth of us all!

Shalom shalom

Mish-pa-KHa,

friends, visitors and every reader…

Please don’t leave this page before making certain you have

a new b’reshiyt/beginning

and are born from above.

Know of a certainty that Jesus/Yeshua is

your Redeemer, Savior, Lord

and soon returning King

and that you have a personal relationship with Him.

You are greatly loved and precious in His sight.

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

NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..

SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…

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

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

 

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

Who’s got our Vav?

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

Sometimes 4 paws help out too!

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

 Ps 18:18 Amplified Version.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace/Shalom

whose mind is

stayed firmly

and

securely fastened

on Thee because he trusteth in thee.

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

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

In Psalms – Mizmor LDavid

מזמור  לדוד 

 

In Psalm 91:4 we read of the buckler

 

Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

He is our buckler*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nor does he say to take it off again!

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,

but against principalities,

against powers,

against the rulers of the darkness of this age,

against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God,

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

and having done all,

to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth,

having put on the breastplate of Righteousness,

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

above all, taking the shield of Faith

with which you will be able to quench all

the fiery darts of the wicked one.

And take the helmet of Salvation,

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

praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,

being watchful to this end with all

perseverance and supplication for all the saints;

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

that I may open my mouth boldly

to make known the mystery of the Gospel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Helmet of salvation – keep your mind focused on Him.

Breastplate of righteousness – assurance of right standing before Him.

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

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

These are all defensive pieces of armor.

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

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

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

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

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

however,

our back is not covered

and therefore vulnerable.

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

– Fear NOT!

BUT God!

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

So what is this extra protection?

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

the only part

not covered

in Eph. 6 armor.

It’s the rereward.

And we find it in Isaiah 58:8

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

and

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

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

Shall be thy rere-ward  

Shall gather thee up.

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

shall gather thee

He gathers His people to Himself;

He protects and defends them;

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

and He brings them up, being the reward,

and saves them. 

 Our rereward / rearguard.

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

His Glory is also our protection/ rereward

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

 

Is there is any further meaning in the pictographs?

The word rereward

in Hebrew is

acaph

and this word is used throughout the scriptures.

It means: to gather or collect.

In some scriptures, it also gives the idea of:

gathering together by,

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

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

The word acaph is made up of

alef sameach and fey/pey

Or

Aleph Samech Pey.

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

אָסַף

and is pronounced  aw-saf’.

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

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

Aleph/Alef     

 is the picture of the ox    

and has the meaning of:

the strong leader or God the Father.

 

Samech/Sameach   

is the picture of a prop   

 

a support maybe a spine with ribs?    

and means:

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

 

Pey/Fey   

is the picture of the mouth   

and means:

to speak or a word.

Pei-hei: Peh  – open mouth –

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

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

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

it could be interpreted and indicate that:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Samech – the source – like the menorah

contains the

shemen שמן

The Holy Anointing Oil

Shin Mem Nun

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

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

NUN birthing brought forth suddenly

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

like a time of incubation

until the time of ripening

a birth brought forth in new life

His Name is in the Oil in the Shemen

SHEM N

shemen שמן – Samech Mem Nun–

and in this,

Messiah’s Name is brought forth!

Because in Hebrew it is: שמן המשחה

shemen ha-mishchah, “oil of anointing”

המשחה

ha-mishchah

Mashiach or Messiah!

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

Shemen afarsimon was a prized oil used in antiquity.

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

The holy anointing oil,

(Hebrew: שמן המשחה 

shemen ha-mishchah,

“oil of anointing”)

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

 Who is our High Priest?

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

There are Spiritual Principles incorporated here:

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

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

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

The Source of Life is in the Instructions.

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

Never to bear fruit.

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

To have oil or wine the fruit must be pressed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(Reading right to left.)

אָסַף

80 60 1

Aleph/Alef is the number 1 

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

Samech/Sameach is the number 60 

and stands for: pride.

Gaon  גַּאֲוָה

גֵּוָה gevah

 עֲנָוָה humility anavah

Pey/Fey is the number 80

and is: 8 x 10,

or, a new beginning

or a new birth ordained in heaven.

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

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

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

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

Recorded in John 17:1-5

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

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

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

So who has our 6 – our Vav?

Our Heavenly Father God Does!

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

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

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

That is complete protection!

Be encouraged!

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

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

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

Prayer example/option:

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

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

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

Promises

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

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

Our Refuge is in the Lord.

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

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

Fear not!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

and from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

and under His wings you shall take refuge.

His Truth shall be your shield and buckler.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Psalm 23 

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

 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

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

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

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

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

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

A Mysterious Broken Vav, A Spear And A Bone?…

The genealogy of the High Priests was focused on in previous posts…

High Priest in Hebrew: כהן גדול – kohen gadol;

With definite article:  ha’kohen ha’gadol,

                              the high priest;

In Aramaic: kahana rabba.

Recall that the High Priests belonged to the Jewish priestly families and traced their paternal line back to Aaron.  He was the elder brother of Moses, through Zadok, a leading priest at the time of David and Solomon.This tradition came to an end in the 2nd century BC during the rule of the Hasmoneans, when the position was occupied by other priestly families unrelated to Zadok.

Even though Aaron was the first High Priest mentioned in the Book of Exodus, the legendary passage revealed the first man who assumed the title of High Priest of God was Enoch. He was succeeded by Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Shem, (or Melchi zedek), Abraham, Isaac and Levi.

These priests are referred to as ‘descendants of Aaron,’ in the biblical traditions drawn upon by the writer of Chronicles. Aaron had 4 sons:  Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.However, Nadab and Abihu died before Aaron (incident of offering strange fire); so only Eleazar and Ithamar had sons. Chronicles records, one priest, Zadok, from Eleazar’s descendants and another priest, Ahimelech, from Ithamar’s descendants, were designated by King David to help create the various priestly work groups.

Aaron received from the Lord the promise of priesthood, it meant his children and their descendants would be part of the Levite priestly class called the Kohanim.

At the time his grandson Phineas had already been born, which meant he did not automatically receive the honor of Kohanim; and possibly also due to the fact that Phineas’s father, Eleazar, had a wife who was a Gentile. Exodus 6:25. She was a daughter of Jethro, a former Midianite priest called Putiel.

With these facts in mind, this post is connected to Aaron’s grandson, Phineas.

Phineas performed a very serious act during the rebellion at Baal Peor recorded in Numbers 25:10 – 30:1.

He killed a Prince of the tribe of Simeon, Zimri, (son of Zurishaddai, called Shelumiel;) because Zimri was engaged in rampant immorality with Cozbi a princess of Midian.

Those that were following Zimri’s leadership, as head of the tribe of Simeon, were the ones that partook the most in the sin of their leader.

Because of this blatant rebellion against Torah, a plague broke out amongst the people and 24,000 people died from this terrible disobedience.

If it was not for the zealous and righteous anger of Phineas, perhaps the entire tribe of Simeon would have been destroyed.

 The plague affecting Israel was stopped by God due to Phineas’ zeal.

https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/num/25/11/t_conc_142011

25:11  פִּֽינְחָס בֶּן־אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן־אַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן הֵשִׁיב אֶת־חֲמָתִי מֵעַל בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּקַנְאֹו אֶת־קִנְאָתִי בְּתֹוכָם וְלֹא־כִלִּיתִי אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּקִנְאָתִֽי׃

קִנְאָה –  qin’ah – in my jealousy.

It took something to kill a family member, from one of the 12 tribes, and he would have had to count the cost. Here is another example of the sacrifice of the lives of the few for the many.

Phineas took a spear (the instrument by which sin was judged/death) and went into the tent and killed both the Zimri, his Israelite relative and his mistress.

Following this righteous act showing zeal for his God, the Lord rewarded him by making him a Kohen, Priest and promised him a covenant of peace.

He blessed him for his action because his heart motive was truly out of concern to stop any further deaths of the children of Israel that had been caused by these two individuals.

There is a spiritual principle here with this action, showing how to stop the plague of death, which is the consequences of sin.

This story tells us that the plague was not going to stop until someone paid with their life for Israel’s sins. In this case, we discover that it was the leaders of the rebellion that had to die to save the sins of their brothers.

Jesus/Yeshua did the same for us. Did He not take upon Himself the sin of all the people, shouldering all of it Himself?Was He not also thrust with a spear causing the life-giving water and blood to flow for all mankind?

(Spear, the instrument by which sin was judged and His death confirmed!)

Was not the plague of the law of sin and death destroyed the second He breathed His last?  

It is Finished!

Behold I am giving to him my covenant of peace.Hineni noten lo et-beriti shalom.

Hebrew word for covenant is Berit

(which is also a popular Norwegian/Scandanavian name)

The Hebrew word berit, is most often used to express the idea of covenant, and originally meant a shackle or chain.Later it came to mean any form of binding agreement. The covenant in the Biblical contexts combines God’s free offer of a special relationship and the people’s willing response in faith by agreeing to take the obligation to worship and obey only this God, Yahweh.

This was a further promised for his descendants, as a covenant of a perpetual priesthood, brit kehunat olam;(because he had been zealous for his God and made kafar/ atonement for all of Israel.)

Here it would appear, is a clear type of Yeshua/Jesus the Messiah and His Greater Priesthood; those of whom He is First-Fruit.

The copying of scrolls was the only way to reproduce the Torah and it was critical the scribes made certain to keep the Scriptures unaltered over the generations since Moses. 

Because of this there are strict guidelines concerning the writing of the Scriptures.

It is called, ‘Soferut Laws for Sefrei Torah’.

Writing Torah requires that each letter to be well-formed in the Hebrew script. No letters must touch other letters.

None can be badly formed, illegible or broken!

Here is the mystery of the broken VAV

In the ancient scrolls, Numbers 25:12, there is an exception to this rule.

It concerns only the Hebrew letter VAV.

This letter is part of the word Shalom

as it is normally written but here it is like this.. (m o l sha – in the Hebrew letters reading from r to l.)

Recall the Pardes of the last post and the levels of understanding in the Scriptures; like the layers of an onion.

Peshat- literal- the plain meaning – Pinchas righteous indignation the census and the holy days.

Remez – just beyond the literal = God’s character = a God of Salvation Redemption = Hidden glimpses of promised Messiahbroken VAV and in the 7 Appointed times of the year – moedim = application for us in our lives today – to be on fire for Him zealous in our love.

DRASH –to seek deeper by comparison- anomalies such as Enlarged letters e.g. broken vav small yod and enlarged nun– symbolism.

SOD further research e.g.– Dead sea scrolls and Gematria numbers equaling the value of each letter and torah code.

And look at this broken VAV on a SOD (Mystery) level. 

This broken VAV is a picture of the broken-ness of the Messiah for our ultimate deliverance, our salvation.

How is this possible as Jesus/Yeshua never had a broken bone in His body?

How was He broken for us?

Here the letter vav represents the number of man, six, and the broken vav represents a man that is broken.

In this verse, (pasuk), the man has been broken for the sake of a covenant of peace that brought atonement to Israel, a clear picture of Messiah Yeshua and His ultimate deliverance and restoration for us.

The ‘broken word’ shalom, can also be read as  שָׁלֵם – shalem.

(Phonetic spelling – shaw-lame)

Meaning COMPLETE, which indicates that the covenant is one of finality, perfection and completion.Repairer of the breach.

Restorer – bringing complete reconciliation to the broken relationship between God and man,

the broken covenant renewed,

He came to heal the broken hearted.He came to heal the broken in spirit those who have been crushed by the serpent, whose head He came to crush.When we think of His brokenness as He told us to do in remembrance of Him, at the breaking of bread.He says it in His own words this is My Body, BROKEN for you. He is the Bread of Heaven and of Life.

Manna = the pieces that are made at the breaking, it’s the spiritual connecting of each of us into one body of believers. One New Man.

We, as Messianic believers, understand that the promise to Phineas. It was a clear fore-telling of the Glory of the Greater Priesthood of Yeshua/Jesus, after the Order of Melchi-zedek, indestructible and everlasting.

The glory which is REVEALED to those who the Father has called. The same resurrection glory that raised Yeshua/Jesus from the dead WILL quicken our mortal bodies and make us alive in Him.

The broken vav promises us that His is restored.

Remembering from a previous Post that the vav, (in the paleo hebrew alef bet), is the…

The nail, peg, hook, symbolizing joining together; making sure; becoming bound; nailed to.

The nail that secures!

It is written in the Hebrew Scriptures of Deut. 5:15 that the Lord made the heavens and the earth by the Zeroah.

So it was by the Zeroah that everything we see, the universe itself, came into existence.

Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. Jer. 32:17

When He brought the Hebrews out of Egypt on Passover, with miracles and wonders it is written that He did so by the Zeroah; and concerning salvation, it is written that the Lord will make known His Zeroah and all the earth will see the salvation of God.

Isaiah 53 contains the prophecy of one who will be wounded and crushed/BROKEN for our sins who will die for our judgment and who by His death will bring us healing life and redemption.

The ancient rabbis identified this one as the Messiah.

The opening verse of the chapter Isaiah 53, ‘who has believed our report and to whom has the Zeroah of the Lord been REVEALED?

The Zeroah is the one who dies for our sins and it is also the BONE of a LAMB which is the most mysterious object on the Passover table.

click link  below for more on Seder Plate
 https://www.minimannamoments.com/midweek-mannabite-secrets-of-the-seder-plate/

The death of the Lamb would be the death of Messiah and connects back to Isaiah 53. Zeroah however, was also there at creation because the Zeroah is the power of God, that which accomplishes the will of God is the arm/Zeroah of the Almighty.The first letter of Zeroah is Z – In Hebrew, Zayin.

Zayin and the Crownlets: Zayin is the 7th letter. The pictograph for Zayin looks like a sword. In the classical script the Vav on its head there is a large crown! There are 3 marks on the top of the letter Zayin. 8 hebrew letters are given this special mark by attaching to them 3 crownlets or ‘tagin’.The mystery of the ZAYIN is that its considered a crowned VAV. In the same way the VAV represents ‘Yashar’ – a straight line from God to man- so ZAYIN represents ‘or chozer’ or ‘returning light’. It is in itself a paradox meaning both ‘weapon/sword’ yet derives its root from a word meaning ‘nourishment/sustenance’. The word for war milchamah contains the word lechem/bread. Sometimes war = fighting for survival and therefore able to find food and be nourished.

They are collectively called ‘sha’atnezgets’ letters. Some sages comment that they are small zaynin (swords) and function as spiritual weapons e.g.in Ps.91

Zayin is the Crowned Man (Yeshua/Jesus) equipped with the Sword of Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh. It is not hard to see that, since VAV represents MAN and ZAYIN is the crowned VAV (that is the Crowned Man), it is clear that ZAYIN represents Messiah Yeshua, the true King of the Jews while Zayin also represents a sword = the Word of God and Holy Spirit.

And here is another paradox, the arm of the Almighty, who was witnessed as weak, BROKEN and dying on a cross – was the manifested love of God and there is no greater power than that – dying to self that we might find life.

If we have ever dropped anything on the floor and seen it shattered into a million pieces, we know that there is no hope of ever putting it back together. Even if we glue every bit, it would never be the same as it was before. Jesus/Yeshua is the great renewer. The first mention of the re-new-ed covenant was to Jeremiah in the Hebrew Scriptures, Jeremiah 31:31 – 34. Telling of the covenant that had been broken, so it would seem that the re-new-ed covenant is born of brokenness.

It exists because of brokenness and it was first spoken of in the days when the land of Israel lay in ruins in the wake of judgment.

It’s the covenant God made for those who had fallen from grace, a covenant for the broken.

The covenant is not just for Israel but is given to everyone and its nature is the same for all.All have sinned – all have BROKEN His precepts – we have all failed – all fallen and become BROKEN in someway.

So the re-new-ed covenant, is the covenant God gives to all who have sinned, all who have failed and fallen; and all who should have no hope of any covenant with God, those who don’t deserve it. It’s the covenant He makes with them regardless of what ever they have done and it has a very special power.

It is the power to put together that which is BROKEN.

The power of restoration and healing.

The power to pick up and bring together all the broken pieces of our lives.The covenant of the BROKEN –  the VAV – symbolizing joining together, making sure, becoming bound, nailed to. The nail that secures. Hosea 14:4 – 7; John 8:9 – 11

There is another mystery, a secret hidden in the translation and it can only be seen in the original language.

 John 19:23–24; 1John 3:16.

It’s in the question that says, ‘to whom has the ARM of the lord been REVEALED?’

Revealed in Hebrew is niglatah.MI HE’EMIN LISHMU’ATEINU UZERO’A HASHEM AL-MI NIGLATAH?

Who has believed our report and to whom is the arm of Hashem revealed?

Isaiah/YESHAYAH 53:1

53:1  מִי הֶאֱמִין לִשְׁמֻעָתֵנוּ וּזְרֹועַ יְהוָה עַל־מִי נִגְלָֽתָה׃

זְר֫וֹעַ  Strong’s Hebrew: 2220 zeroa arm shoulder     זְרוֹעַ     zerowa

Messiah Yeshua/Jesus is the ‘arm of the Lord’

These words open the 4th and last of Isaiah’s ‘Servant Songs’, 4 prophecies describing the “Eved Adonai”, the “Servant of Adonai”, Who suffers and dies.The Arm/Zeroah of The Lord is REVEALED to those open to seeing it, even right here.

The arm of The Lord is being revealed in this very question.

It’s in the word galah גָּלָה  

גָּלָה Strongs H1540 https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H1540&t=KJV

גָּלָה gâlâh, gaw-law’; a primitive root; to denude (especially in a disgraceful sense); by implication, to exile (captives being usually stripped); figuratively, to reveal:— advertise, appear, bewray, bring, (carry, lead, go) captive (into captivity), depart, disclose, discover, exile, be gone, open, plainly, publish, remove, reveal, shamelessly, shew, surely, tell, uncover.

Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon.

Revealed is a translation of the Hebrew word niglatah but niglatah means much more than revealed. Niglatah means to be taken captive.

The KJV translates Strong’s H1540 in the following manner:

 uncover (34x), discover (29x),

 captive (28x), carry away (22x),

 reveal (16x), open (12x),

 captivity (11x), shew (9x),

 remove (6x), appear (3x),

So the arm/zeroah of the Lord, the power of God will be taken captive. The Messiah was taken into captivity, arrested he became a prisoner.Niglatah also means to put to shame/disgraced.

So the arm of the Lord will be put to shame and disgraced.

Messiah was put to shame mocked degraded and condemned as a blasphemer.And niglatah also means stripped, naked, exposed and laid back. So the arm of the Lord will be stripped, naked and exposed. So Messiah was stripped of His garments and exposed ‘naked’* on the cross.

(*The Hebrew understanding of naked means, to remove all clothing except a loin cloth.)

It is the most famous image in this world, that of one who has been taken captive, stripped, naked and exposed.

It’s the arm of the Lord revealed the power of the almighty. But how could the strongest power in existence be revealed in the death of a naked man on the cross?

That is the revelation of the arm of God the strongest force in the universe the power of the almighty the power of love.

Most religions teach that salvation comes from the one who needs to be saved, an arm reaching up to heaven.

Only one message is different – the Gospel.Salvation is just the opposite:

It’s an arm, the zeroah of the Lamb of God reaching down from heaven.

We need to stop struggling and striving to be good enough.

Stop seeking to save ourselves. We can’t, and we don’t have to.

Messiah is Heaven’s ARM reaching down to us.

In biblical prophecy, its the Zeroah, the Arm of God. Wherever we are, wherever we’re not, just grasp on to heaven’s arm and He will do the rest.Not only does this story tell us that in order to receive life more abundantly, you must first die to the flesh and take up our cross and follow Him, it also tells us how Father/Yahweh feels about people that are sold out and zealous for Him.

He loves people with zeal and passion, people that love what He loves and hate what He hates.

In the story of Phineas IS The REVEALING.  The Niglatah, the baring of God’s Holy Arm was personified as a type of Messiah in Phineas (priest) with His spear the instrument of his zeal to save his family the children (sheep) of Israel.The broken covenant symbolized by the broken VAV in shalom/peace was restored by His zeal as fulfilled in Yeshua as the sacrificial lamb on Passover, the Zeroah/arm of Pesach.

In the brokenness, due to the severing of the connection with His Father, when He said, ‘why have you forsaken Me’? Sin causes separation from God.

His substitutionary sacrifice was the restorer of the breach, (of the relationship that was breached/broken); and we are now reconciled to the Father and this IS the gospel message.

We are ministers of reconciliation telling of the promise of the Berit Shalom – His covenant of peace – which was there in the VAV, the nail, that secures and joins together that which was broken.He was broken that we may be made whole.

The Hebrew word ‘kanaw’ qana’ קָנָא means: zealous, jealous, competitive.

It carries with it the idea that no one can come between you and the one you love – jealous for God.Love is stronger than death – it’s the glue that holds everything together and is revealed… with

a broken vav,

a shank bone of a sacrificial lamb,

the zeroah arm of the Lord given in love,

for a covenant of peace,

with our High Priest after the order of Melchi-zedek,

Who is alone the One who can put everything back together.

His brokenness was not in His BONEs but

in a better WAY of TRUTH that leads to LIFE.
