THREE TABERNACLES? OR THREE IN ONE?

(Pikudei: Exodus 38:21-40:38) "accountings of"


The Tabernacle is finished, and the congregation brings the finished product to Moshe for inspection. Giving an account of one's work, contribution, offerings, tithes, etc is very Biblical. The LORD expects nothing less from his people. Giving an account of what one has done. It is being accountable for what we have been given and what we have done with it all. That is why there are "accountants" in every business.

Even though Moshe probably didn't do any of the physical building (or perhaps he did) he was in charge of the building project as he received the instructions of how the Tabernacle was to be made directly from Adonai. We have the same method today. "Ronald MacDonald" himself doesn't make hamburgers, but all of his managers have to give an "account" to him of how the businesses are going, The gains and the losses, etc.

Once everything had been placed inside the Tabernacle, the "Anan HaKavod" (The Glory Cloud) came and surrounded the Tabernacle. The Torah states that Moshe could not enter the Tabernacle because of the Glory Cloud of YHVH, yet on other occasions, he went into the cloud (example, on Mt. Sinai). Why couldn't he go into the Tabernacle on that occasion?

One good answer might be; "He was invited by God to enter the Glory Cloud while on Sinai." This time, the invitation was not given. We might say this also. YHVH came down to inspect His house where He will dwell among His people. He wanted to see that all was done under His instructions.
The Tabernacle was finished and Adonai came in to dwell with His people on the 1st of Nissan, (April 9th this year) So, April 9th is "New Years Day"
There is only one way to approach YHVH, and that is through Yeshua. The Tabernacle reflected the person of Yeshua in all ways. It is like if you had a house designed and built according to your specifications. Upon finishing the house, you will want to go in and inspect it to see if all is as you wanted it to be. After that, then you will want others to come in.

In this Torah portion, the Tabernacle is mentioned/referred to in three ways:

1. HaMishkan (The Tabernacle)
2. HaMishkan, HaOhel Moed (The Tabernacle, Tent of Meeting)
3. HaMishkan, HaEidut (The Tabernacle of the Testimony).

In reality, they are ALL the same, yet referred to by different names. Why is that? Why does Moshe refer to them in different ways? Perhaps we can see the ministry of Adonai in different ways.

“HaMishkan” If we go back to the ancient Hebrew spelling of the word “Mishkan” It is spelled with 4 Hebrew letters. “Mem” “Sheen” “Kaph” and “Nun” It comes from the verb “Sh’ken” which is “to dwell”. Adonai ordered Moshe to build the Tabernacle so that HE could dwell amongst HIS people. One can look at the letters from the ancient Hebrew perspective and say;

“The Living Water who is the All-Consuming Fire anoints (his people) with life” … or … “Our lives became anointed when the presence of the All-Consuming Fire /the Living Water is amongst us”

“HaOhel Moed” (The Tent of Meeting) Why do we go to the synagogue/church? Because it is the meeting place where we meet with Elohim. His spirit is there! Even if there are only two believers present in some place, HE is in the midst! So, Adonai dwells with his people so that we can “meet” with HIM. “Ohel Moed” has 7 letters, “7” is the number of perfection. “Aleph” “Hey” “Lamed” and then; “Mem” “Vav” “Ayin’ “Tav”

Again, going back to the ancient Hebrew understanding of the symbolism in the letters, we could understand these two words in the following manner: “Behold the God of Instruction and Teaching (gives his people/us) the “living water (of the word) which connects us with insight, which is at the door”.

When we meet with Adonai, we are taught His Word through his chosen teachers, we are taught about Yeshua who is the “Living Water” who gives “insight’ (or understanding). The understanding is there at the door, all we have to do is open the door (of our mind and heart) to receive it. It is interesting that the last word “Moed” has the letters “Ayin and Dalet” which spell “Witness” There are witnesses when we meet with Adonai, Adonai himself, and his holy angels besides those who are there to receive the Word of God.

“HaEidut” (Testimony or Pact) The Mishkan was also known as the “Eidut” the Tabernacle of Testimony. What is the testimony? The testimony is the presence of the “Tables of the Torah” The tablets of the Commandments placed in the Ark of the Covenant. The word “Eidut” spelled in Hebrew consists of three letters; “Ayin’ “Dalet” and “Tav”. When we see these from the ancient Hebraic perspective, we can see this message;

“Insight is at the door of the Covenant” or we could also understand it as; “The covenant gives insight, and that is at the door”. The letter “Tav” in the ancient spelling looks like a cross leaning to one side. It speaks of the New Covenant under Yeshua, and when we understand (insight) the message of “Yeshuah” (Salvation) then “Yeshuah” is at the “door”.

All that we need to do is open the door and receive “Yeshuah” which comes from “Yeshua” (which seems like a play on words). Again, we see the two letters “Ayin and Dalet” (ED) yet here they are reversed, yet they are still present, the “Witness”

Inside the Ark of the Covenant were the tablets of the Commandments which YHVH made anew after Moshe broke the original ones, and the broken pieces of the first tablets. We might ask why. It might be to remind us that we broke the law, and we are guilty and we have the sin nature, yet we have been renewed by Yeshua, who made us "anew" through His Holy Spirit. He is the one who fulfilled the Torah in full, without breaking it.

In conclusion, the Tabernacle was all about where Adonai came to dwell amongst his people to dwell with them, teach them his word, his ordinances, and his commandments, to direct them to a new lifestyle other than the life they had in Egypt.

We meet with Adonai in HIS place of worship to receive his word, and to allow HIM to dwell inside of us through His Holy Spirit. We learn His Word and his Word directs ALL to YESHUA/JESUS, who is the Messiah in the New Covenant.

"Chazak, Chazak, v'nitchazek" (Be strong, hold fast, let us strengthen one another) We say this when we come to the end of each book in the Bible.

Have a blessed week.
 
Hi Jimmie,


It is very important things you bring up.

I have some answers for you, since Jesus has lead me to understand some of what you write about, He and our Father has let me see and experience of what the tabernacle represents.

I will also recommend Hebrews chapter 9

The tabernacle is truth, as the menora inside of us is part of the temple of God that we are. it is the seven spirits of God, that must be united in One. The seven spirits are before the throne, a person is allowed to choose if they want satan or God on the throne. When we choose Jesus, and are chosen by Jesus, to be led to God, we will forever know He is on the throne. That is the truth.

Revelation 4:5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

And there is another food, than the food of the earth, it is the food of heaven, where all is of Gods light, God is light: 5And this is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.


God lives in us, is what lives yes: 4In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.



Since God is the truth, we must subtract to come closer to Him, thus we must repent/ clean, and receive His help to clean. The truth was always and is always, thus cannot be added. So it is like dirt which has to be removed to arrive at cleanliness.
 
Very interesting, thank you for sharing, all of what you said is true.
 
May God bless you for writing that, your words are from God, I have been working sometimes pretty much from when I woke up to when I went to bed for the Kingdom. It all started after Jesus had led me to “follow Him to the desert for 40 days”. It was during that period I started to hear Jesus, and by the end of that period He had led me to Father to become a lost son returned. And I started to receive the lightnings that are foretold.

All I had to do was to obey Jesus, and welcome what He led me to do.

God has given me many miracles, He has also performed many miracles before others through me as a sign. For example He has granted healing several times, at one time oil came out of my head, it was the first time I spoke before a parish about what Jesus had told me, another time I sang in tongues and recorded it for a sister as I understood she should have the recording, and it turned out to be in in Hindi, her native tongue. (I do not usually speak Hindi).

So God has indeed given ample signs, but still no one has written or told me what you wrote, except for my son in the flesh.


So kindly tell me, how did you know that?

It would greatly help the mission I have accepted from God if I better understood, who can understand and why.

God wants more and more people to know that the bible, the way that Jesus is, which is described in the bible is possible to experience.

God in His grace, may give us sight so that we can see the Holy Kingdom of God, and a heart that can feel the Love that is His, to honor the first commandment of Jesus, to know that His light is Love:

7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.…
 
I believe that for every believer on this earth, all of us, our mission is 1. Get right with God, through the "New Birth" 2. Get involved with a local congregation of believers, with me, it is a Messianic congregation/ with Jewish identity 3. Use your spiritual gifts to serve 4. Study God's Word and obey his commandments. 5. Be prepared for the "home going" our time on this earth is limited. We are only a "heartbeat" away from eternity.
 
Thank you Jimmie,



God sent you to acknowledge that I wrote the truth as Jesus and our Father has taught it to me. Because it has been hard for me to work hard for a long time, and get little acknowledgement from people.

But God has often rejoiced, and His generosity and grace is beyond belief. Jesus himself is the greatest of treasure, and Our Father is the source of sources



I believe I know what you mean when you write get right with God through the second birth.

Cause God has spoken to me and He taught me that all Israelites must “wrestle with an angel/ wrestle with God”, like Jacob. All Israelites will know there are two.

There is the child of light, and the child of darkness:

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

When we truly know, then there is the son of man that will come with the lightning.



That is why we shall follow Jesus into the desert for 40 days, to turn darkness down, and choose the light of God.

During that time Jesus led me to clean, helped me to clean, performed many miracles, guided me to sign in tongues, pray in the language of angels, to turn the power over my tongue over to God.



The Kingdom of God is within. The light of God is in the Temple of God within, it is organized like a flute within, with a main chamber, and seven holes. All seven has their specific function to control us from within.

Cause when we know of God, we will know He is good, and wiser than we could ever be, and we will welcome His rule.

When the seven control us from within the two commandments of Jesus will be fulfilled. We will love God with all our heart mind and soul, and we will love our neighbor like ourselves.

Cause the way we should love ourselves is to love the child of light.


By the end of the 40 days Jesus had led me to the door. He is the door.


The door it is locked with the sin of Adam. God wants us to return. He will welcome us back a lost son returned.

Do you know about this Jimmie?

There is the tree of life, God has allowed me to eat of the fruits from the tree of life:

7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the Paradise of God



I will testify to you Jimmie, that I have been taken to the third heaven, there is Jesus on His throne, and I have been seated first on His left side, and then on His right side, where there are two more thrones.


39“We can,” the brothers answered. “You will drink the cup that I drink,” Jesus said, “and you will be baptized with the baptism that I undergo. 40But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”


2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows.




Since you know the seven is Holy, do you also know that seven plus seven is 13, Jesus Christ is the 13th of the 12. It is again cause God cannot be added, so that when 7 is united at one lamp, with another seven lamps, two lamps melt into one, thus 7 plus seven is 13.

God has taught me, it is the reason there were 13 pillars surrounding the building in the Temple of Jerusalem surrounding the holy inner room where the menorah was, and the bread.

It is cause God split the Son in His image into man and woman, the Son in His image was before man and woman.

So God has taught me. The son is not seven but 13. One beside 3.


The Temple is Holy
