Zerubbabel-'Dispersed in confusion' Part 2

In the first part of the Study 'Zerubbabel Dispersed in confusion' we saw Zerubbabel was one of the captives who returned from Babylon to Yasharal and played an important role in laying the foundation of the temple.
We saw how he by his wisdom withstood the enemies which were so called brethren of the Yahudi's who had approached him to build the temple along with him and others and he refused.
We saw him dare to go against the kings command who was influenced by these evil so called Yahudi's who wrote a letter to the king in the Syrian (Aramaic) tongue (to appease the king) to stop building the temple because he understood that once a decree made by any one of the kings of Medes Persia cannot be reversed. Cyprus king of Persia had made a decree to rebuild the temple and the new king couldn't change that. We saw him as a type of Messiah who builds the temple/assembly and was full of zeal for the house of Alahym. 

Zec 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of  YAHUAH, which run to and fro through the whole earth. 

The plummet/ measuring line in Zerubbabel's hands is symbolic of Messiah measuring his temple and the stake is the measuring line. That's where man is destined. Either he is chosen for salvation or dispersed in confusion.
Finally we saw the meaning of the name of Zerubbabel which means 'Dispersed in confusion' and saw how Yahuah came down and confused the language of all those who tried to build Babel and dispersed them. We see  this confusion in all men who call themselves Yahudi's (not circumcised in the heart) and try to build Alahym's house carnally and carnal man doesn't have any part in building the temple and are trampling the outer court.

Re 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

These so called Yahudi's  are doing Shatan's will in coming against and persecuting the true elect of Alahym who build the house of Alahym.

Re 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from Alahym out of heaven, and devoured them.

In this study we will elaborate on the confusion that man is dispersed into.
We see that all those who profess Mashiyach tie themselves to Mashiyach and acknowledge that Mashiyach is Yahuah of their life and their Savior and yet we have ten thousand versions of each one's faith and interpretations of what they hold on to be a sound doctrine. If all really belonged to Mashiyach then all should have ONE VERSION and that's very rare to see in our days at least. While denominations have their so called One Version of a statement of faith, those within the denomination may or not be following 100% of what the denomination teaches and yet they cling to that denomination calling it a church/assembly as they see one thing common-Messiah died and rose again and is the Savior so nothing else really matters.

But for Messiah it does matter or else he wouldn't warn his elect to flee Mystery Babylon.

 Re 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because you suffer that woman Ayzabal (Jezebel), who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Re 2:14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Yasharal, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

So it's really serious to examine which version of the besorah (gospel) you really believe in. 

Let's examine a few scriptures and see how Alahym disperses all in confusion.

Re 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Yahusha Messiah, which Alahym gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant Yahuchanan (John):

Signified by HIS ANGEL. Does this mean same thing as The Angel of Yahuah as in Old Testament, angels guarding the pattern or it means Yahusha sending one of his angels being their head?

Cherubs guarded the pattern and Gal 3:19 confirms this that the Thurah was ordained by angels in the hands of a mediator. The angel or cherub represented the testimony of Messiah. The angel sent by Alahym did not have the complete revelation of who Alahym was because Alahym was revealed to them when Alahym brought his first born into the world. So the angel or cherub stood as spirit of prophecy which came with the mystery of Alahym sealed. Messiah says hereafter you will see angels ascending and descending on the Son of man.

(For readers understanding as to what I am stating here I suggest that you read the studies in my notes 'Guarding the pattern' and 'Cherubs guarding the pattern'. 

John 1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of Alahym ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

The Son of man is Alahym Almighty who came out from Alahym (John 16:27 & 17:8) through the piercing of Alahim's own self (Luke 2:34-35 & Heb 4:12), the intangible Alahim was now tangible, invisible Alahim was now visible in an image (Col 1:15), now he can be heard, seen, touched and handled (1 John 1:1) and that's the revelation.That's the mystery of Alahim.
Messiahians have different versions of the 'Mystery of Alahim' and few of them are trinity, Jehovah's witness, Mormonism, Unitarians, Oneness Pentecostalism etc etc.

The 'Mystery of Alahim' is misunderstood by carnal man to make a god of their own making and hence actually worship and serve 'BAAL' and not the true Messiah from the bible. If one doesn't understand the 'Mystery of Alahim' then he definitely is part of the MYSTERY but of MYSTERY BABYLON and is dispersed in confusion.

Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of Alahim, and of the Father, and of Messiah;

Alahim expects a full understanding of the mystery of Alahim of the Father and of Messiah from us because he has made the mystery known but carnal man doesn't understand the mystery and doesn't bother to come to Alahim's word to examine whether he is worshiping the true and living Alahim or has made a god of his own making. 

It's time to wake up or else it will be too late at the last trumpet (the 7th) because at that time all those 'Dispersed in confusion' will understand who the true and living Alahim is but it will be too late.

Re 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Alahim should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Alahim has deliberately confused the language and SIGNIFIED it 

Isa 28:9 ¶ Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

Isa 28:13 But the word of the YAHUAH was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

Coming back to Zerubbabel who laid the foundation of temple, Alahim says that Zerubbabel would be made a SIGNET and this was fulfilled in Messiah because Messiah is the foundation stone laid.

Hag 2:23 In that day, saith the YAHUAH of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the YAHUAH, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the YAHUAH of hosts.

 Zec 4:9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the YAHUAH of hosts hath sent me unto you.

Ro 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 

Isa 8:13 Sanctify the YAHUAH(Yahuah) of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
 14 And he (Yahuah) shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

 Apostles and prophets laid foundation of the NT church just as Zerubbabel who laid the literal foundation of the temple and that FOUNDATION IS CHRIST who is the rock of offence and a stone of stumbling as well as a Sanctuary.

A stone of stumbling and rock of offence for all those not chosen and a Sanctuary to his elect. Those dispersed in confusion are without the spirit of prophecy and as readers they will never understand the language of Alahim and hence carnal man comes up with a version of his own mysterious gospel.

Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yahusha Messiah himself being the chief corner stone;

Zerubbabel laid foundation of physical temple and his name(Dispersed in confusion) is symbolic of this. In NT or OT the literal Angel with the message stood as the spirit of prophecy, a visible representation of the invisible. In reality the angels learn from church of Messiah(1 Peter 1:12). Zerubbabel laying foundation was a shadow of the true foundation laid which is Messiah and was laid by apostles and prophets and he is sealed in prophecy. Alahim has dispersed all into confusion and gathers his elect in mercy. 

Ps 18:11 He made darkness his secret <cether> place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

 Ps 91:1 ¶ He that dwelleth  in the secret <cether> place of the most High shall abide  under the shadow  of the Almighty

Ps 119:114 ¶ Thou art my hiding place <cether>and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Messiah is the secret place/hiding place and outside of him are all those dispersed in confusion eating their own bread and wearing their own apparel, having a god of their own making and a gospel of confusion.

2Co 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Yahusha, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Following another Messiah and another gospel is following 'BAAL' or allowing Jezebel to teach and seduce. Her doctrine was of 'BAAL'.

Acts 19:1-3 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, [2] He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. [3] And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.

There were many whom Paul came across who did not have the revelation of Messiah as the Quickening Spirit. They were only baptized unto Johns gospel of repentance. Alahim reached out to his elect to ensure that they did not live in the 'Dispersed in confusion state'

Another example:

Acts 18:24-26 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. [25] This man was instructed in the way of the Yahuah; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Yahuahknowing only the baptism of John. [26] And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them , and expounded unto him the way of Alahim more perfectly.

Apollos was eloquent and mighty in scriptures but needed expounding of the way
He was instructed in the way of the Yahuah and was following the baptism of John without understanding who Messiah was but Alahim reached out to him in removing the 'Dispersion in confusion' from his life.

Ps 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Mt 13:34 All these things spake Yahusha unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
 35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.

Is Messiah a rock of offence to you or a sanctuary? Are you 'Dispersed in Confusion' in Babel with another Baal? Alahim calls everyone to repentance and flee Mystery Babylon.
