Covering/Headship of the Husband Part 3

Background to the study:

In our previous studies on Covering/Headship of the Husband Part 1 & 2 we saw the spiritual vs spiritual in the ordinance that Paul lays down for a woman to cover her head when praying or propheysing. We saw how Eve was deceived by the once covering cherub (Satan) who misrepresented the law to her and the woman fell by the lust of the desire to become as god.

We then saw the headship of the husband Messiah and the need for the woman (church) to come under the headship of Messiah and make him her Ishi to be delivered from the nakedness of sin and vanity.

Satan was there in the garden of Eden as the covering cherub and because the woman was not under the covering of her husband he led her to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil to deceive her. The tree of knowledge of good and evil stands for a false Messiah, that's why Paul says in 2 Corin 11:3 that he feared that just as the the serpent deceived Eve even so their minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah.

Eze 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Alahim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Alahim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

When the Woman is in her husband and his headship/covering over her she is led by her husband to eat of the tree of life. These are the words of Messiah, the husband to his church.

 Re 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Alahim.

Adam as the husband of Eve did not have the ability to lead his wife to the tree of life but was led by his wife to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This ability is only in Messiah the true husband and maker. Hence Adam and Eve as a creature were subject to vanity and Messiah cannot be a creature because he himself would be subject to vanity not having the ability to lead his wife to eat of the tree of life. Having come out of Alahim and bearing Alahim's own hupostasis (substance Heb 1:3) he leads his wife to the tree of life to give her eternal life. By his headship to his wife in becoming her husband he reconciles everything back to Alahim by this headship/covering.

In part 2 of the study we saw the 'RIBS' in the mouth of the beast which Daniel saw which is the WOMAN and her seed whom Satan wants to devour

 Ge 2:22 And the rib, which the YAHUAH Alahim had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man

The Woman was taken out of the man's rib which shows that she was hid in her man and all those who are called of Alahim to understand his divine ordinance find themselves hid in their 'ISHI' Messiah. Satan desire has always been that the Woman be deceived to find her own identity outside of her man Messiah. His will can be seen in his beastly kingdoms and in one of the beastly kingdoms which Daniel saw he sees three ribs in the mouth of the beast who looked like a bear devouring much flesh. The number three in scripture signifies purpose and will (seen by three ribs in his mouth). The 'RIB' (WOMAN) in his teeth is his desire to tear her apart by deceiving her.

Da 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

Joe 1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. 

We then saw the locusts coming out of the bottomless pit who had a king over them whose name is mentioned in Hebrew and in Greek to show that both the Jews and Gentiles are deceived by these locusts who came out of the bottomless pit

Re 9:11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

These locusts had faces as of men and hair of women.

Re 9:7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

We see Paul saying in 1Corin 11:14-15 that if a man has long hair it is a shame unto him and the hair is given to the WOMAN AS A COVERING

1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Here we see these locusts having face of man and long hair of woman. What does this show us? In spiritual comparison it shows that the WOMAN INSTEAD OF BEING UNDER THE COVERING OF HER HUSBAND IS TRYING TO BE HIS COVERING and this is exactly what Satan and his evil spirits are doing by distorting the 'HEADSHIP'.Satan is causing the woman to do harlotry by making her take the name of her 'ISHI' in vain but eating her own bread (gospel). This Woman outside of Messiah is 'MYSTERY BABYLON THE MOTHER OF ALL HARLOTS'.

The above background is very important for us to move ahead to understand the mysteries which Alahim has unveiled from his word to see and understand the signs of times so that we do not get carried away into being deceived in being away from the headship of Messiah who alone is our 'ISHI'.

'Ishi' means husband/man and 'Ishshah' means woman/wife in Hebrew. And the bible uses the word 'Ishshah' for Eve in Genesis. In this study we will examine Gen 3:15 in the light of spiritual vs spiritual comparison to see if this was a prophecy of Messiah or not. For this let's examine word to word translation of Gen 3:15 in Hebrew

3:15 w'ëyväh äshiyt Bëyn'khä ûvëynhäiSHäh ûvëyn zar'ákhä ûvëyn zar'äH hûy'shûf'khä rosh w'aTäh T'shûfeNû äqëv š

Eybah (enmity) shiyth (to put) beyn (between) beyn (between) ishshah (woman) beyn (between) zera (seed) beyn (between) zera (seed) huw (it/he) shuwph (bruise) ro'sh (head) attah (you) shuwph (bruise) aqeb (hoof/heel)

In simple English 

"Enmity will be put between the woman and between seed between seed, it shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his/it's heel/hoof"

There is a repetetion of 'BETWEEN' in connection to woman and her seed and again 'BETWEEN' seed to seed. This is far from being a prophecy on Messiah as traditionalists have taught because it's speaking of more than ONE SEED , it's speaking of the Woman as being against her seed and her seed against her, also her seed is against her seed. That's what the verse means.

The second aspect we see is the WOMAN standing before Alahim in Gen 3:15 when Alahim cursed the serpent was naked  had no covering of her husband, was decieved into fornication/adultery by the lust of becoming as god and hence could be termed as an ADULTERESS.

We also saw in the background that the king of the locusts name is mentioned in Hebrew and Greek to show that the locusts who had faces as men and hair as woman are the seeds of the nations (Jews and Greeks) which also fits perfect in the spiritual comparison.

This same word 'ISHSHAH' is used also for adulteress in Proverbs 6:26 and 31:3

Pr 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman (ishshah) a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress (ishshah) will hunt for the precious life.

Pr 31:3 Give not thy strength unto women (ishsha), nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

With this evidence in spiritual comparison we now can see the harmony of how Alahim has placed important pieces of information of who the Adulteress woman represents and who her seed represents and what does it mean of them being against each other.

Genesis 3:15 was a curse for the serpent that the woman and her seed would be bruising/wounding his head and that the serpent would be bruising the heel or hoof of her seed.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 

Moreover in Gen 3:14 Alahim tells the serpent that he shall move on his belly eating dust. This dust is symbolic of the seed of this woman because that's where the Adamic race came from. Dust we are and into dust we shall return.

Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

 13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

Re 17:17 For Alahim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Alahim shall be fulfilled.

Re 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

 16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

The Whore sitteth on waters i.e. peoples, nations, multitudes and tongues.

The ten horns are her seed (carnal/ungodly seed from Jews and Greeks) who make her desolate and naked. The bruising of Satan's head (his beastly kingdom) is a symbolism of this woman Jezebel ruling his kingdom through her seed who in different ages would give their strength to one beastly kingdom while toppling the other.

Re 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

One of the heads that was wounded to death was Babylon which was a kingdom which was restrained and was as though was dead but still lying within the kingdom of heaven as tares until the wound was healed. Its the stump of tree wet with the dew of heaven bound with iron and brass as seen by Nebudchanazzer in his dream until seven times pass by, the seven times being the seven beastly rules of Satan on which the Woman sits.

 Da 4:23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;

Re 17:9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.

The womans ungodly seed (ten horns) have been responsible for overthrowing Babylon which is a beastly kingdom to usher in Medes Persia another beastly kingdom of Satan and  then over throwing Medes Persia to usher in other beastly kingdoms later on. But in actuality they were giving power and strength to the beast while bruising the head of the serpent (over throwing one beastly kingdom).

While this happened physically in time it was Alahim who was at work in all this for Alahim put this in their hearts to fulfill his will of exposing Mystery Babylon which he had restrained as a physical kingdom. They were actually in their ignorance working towards exposing the Woman Jezebel who was hidden within named Mystery Babylon.

Re 17:7 ¶ And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.

 Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

That great city is the kingdom of heaven where our Yahusha was crucified by the Jewish nation who were then the nation chosen and called to be the people of Alahim.

Re 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahusha was crucified.

This great city is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt because it's now abominable for they have forsaken the spirit of prophecy for the lie of the serpent.

In spiritual comparison we see the enmity between the woman and her seed

 Re 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

Enmity between her seed to seed

 Mt 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Re 17:17 For Alahim hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of Alahim shall be fulfilled.

The contentious woman within the house:

Pr 21:9 ¶ It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling (contentious) woman (ishshah) in a wide house.

The house represents the kingdom of heaven within which this contentious woman dwells. It is better to be on the housetop than enter the house where this woman dwells.

 Yahuah warns his people when they see the Abomination of Desoltion spoken by Daniel the prophet that they need to flee, he further instructs not to come down into the house to take anything out of the house.

 Mt 24:17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 

Let's compare spiritually with the prophecy in Amos where Amos speaks of the Day of the Yahuah. He likens the day of the Yahuah to be as a man who fled from a lion (lion was a representation of Babylon) and a bear met him (bear represents Medes Persia). Both these kingdoms were Satan's physical beastly kingdoms. The Day of the Yahuah is like a man having fled Satans phyiscal kingdoms Babylon and Medes Persia and went into the HOUSE AND LEANED HIS HAND ON THE WALL AND A SERPENT BIT HIM.

Am 5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

In other words there is no escape for the carnal seed of the adulteress woman. They may flee one beastly kingdom by bruising it and ushering the next by giving their strength to it (bruising Satan's head as prophesied in Gen 3:15) represented by the hand leaned on the wall over here in this verse of Amos 5:19,  only to be found in the house where the woman Mystery Babylon is and hence bitten by the serpent.

In conclusion the Ishshah (Woman) who is hid in her Ishi (Husband) i.e. Messiah is clothed with the Sun, moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head (Rev 12) ready to bring forth the man child travailing in birth to manifest Messiah in her who is the hope of her glory while the woman who is not in Messiah is the adulteress woman who is naked, desolate and torn apart by her own seed in enmity with her bitten by the serpent.

Teach us to number our days

Ps 90:12 ¶ So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

In this study we will look at the prayer of Moses the man of Alahim who prays to Alahim to teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, we will learn what all this means.

Ps 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.

 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

 12 ¶ So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

The New Testament was written in Greek and in  the New Testament: A score in Roman count was 20. Three score is 60. So threescore and ten is 60+10=70

OT; The Hebrew word used is 'shibeem' which means seventy

KJV translates many portions in the OT as 'threescore and ten' where this word 'shibeem' appears. 

 Pr 25:2 ¶ It is the glory of Alahim to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Alahim has concealed in this seventy the vanity of man which reveals his carnal/earthy nature and falls short of the glory of Alahim. We will see in spiritual comparison how man is alienated from the life of Alahim and only because of Messiah's sacrifice and  by the quickening of the Spirit of Messiah through the spirit of prophecy can he understand the parabolic language of Alahim's word.

 Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

The flesh profiteth nothing, the words of Messiah are spirit and they are life.

Speaking about the wrath of Alahim, Moses in his prayer speaks of the days of man being passed away in his wrath and he parabolically defines the days of man to be THREESCORE AND TEN and if by reason of strength they be FOURSCORE YEARS and yet their strength labour and sorrow.

We have read these scriptures many time but we must look at them closely to understand what man is made up of.

Ro 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of Alahim.

 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Not all see that they are creatures of vanity and only Messiah is the hope of our deliverance from this vanity, for he took upon himself likeness of sinful flesh to deliver us creatures of vanity to be transformed to the new creation image which he himself bears having come out from Alahim.

Only the elect of Alahim can see their days of vanity on earth groaning for their redemption and see their journey here on earth to be as a sojourner or pilgrim and desire the heavenly country in which righteousness dwells.

The carnal look for a habitation here and take Alahim's promises carnally to apply it to fulfill the lusts of their flesh which arise out of their vanity.

Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore Alahim is not ashamed to be called their Alahim: for he hath prepared for them a city.

The number seven and seventy means totality and this number is also used to show the totality of man's vanity in captivity.

2Ch 36:20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

 21 To fulfil the word of the YAHUAH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

Israel was in captivity of Babylon and Persia for 70 years. For 70 years she lay desolate and under the wrath of Alahim and the true observation of Sabbath could only happen in desolation because when they were full they observed the Sabbath carnally but in desolation they groaned for their redemption.

The elect of Alahim are taken through the Great Tribulation fire so that they learn to number their days of vanity and in this desolation they would groan for their redemption waiting for the bridegroom to come and transform them into the new creation image.

Moses in the wilderness journey knew and understood that the land of Cannan was only a type of the New Jerusalem and that the land of Canaan was not a permanent dwelling place for the people of Alahim but the New Heavenly Jerusalem was the place.

Heb 11:24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of Alahim, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

 26 Esteeming the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

His prayer in Psalms 90 only proves this

Ps 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

In our previous studies 'The journey from a servant to a son Part 1 & 2' we have seen and understood that man is captivated by the elements of the world in the 7 days of creation and the day 1 being the Sabbath which speaks of the hope of his salvation when Alahim said "Let there be light and there was light" Gen 1:3. We saw that Paul by the spirit interprets this light to mean to be the light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim through the face of Yahusha Messiah (2 Corin 4:6).

The seventh day speaks of the day we are redeemed from this vanity to enter into the new creation image where we would receive the gift of eternal life through Messiah Yahusha our Yahuah.

We also saw the Prince (Messiah) offering to Yahuahhh in the Sabbath day six lambs without blemish and prophectically understood that the six lambs are symbolic of the SIX DAYS OF VANITY that man is wrapped in being under the time keepers and being bound to the elements of the world. The sacrifice of Messiah of his ownself for his elect was to redeem them of this vanity. Not that he died 6 times but once and for all to redeem us who were captivated by these 6 days of vanity of being bound to the elements of this world.

Eze 46:2 And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
 3 Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before YAHUA in the sabbath and in the new moon.
 4 And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto Yahuahhh in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.

Ga 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

 4 But when the fulness of the time was come, Alahim sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

A complete redemption of  the children of Alahim from the law of sin and death into the glorious liberty of being a child of Alahim through the Sonship of Messiah, the purpose he came out from Alahim to bestow on us adoption as sons.

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of Alahim, even to them that believe on his name:

Ro 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

Messiah is our only hope of delivering us from this servanthood to the elements of the world to the sonship of Alahim through him if we hold fast the confidence and rejoicing of this hope firm unto the end.

Heb 3:6 But Messiah as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Coming back to the seven and seventy let's look at spiritual vs spiritual comparison to see what Moses the man of Alahim prayed as recorded in the book of Psalms Chapter 90.

 Ge 46:27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.

We now are seeing the captivity in an 2nd instance where the number threescore and ten/seventy is assocaiated with.  The first scripture we saw was in 2 Ch 36:20-21 where Israel was in captivity in Babylon and Persia for seventy years.

2Ch 36:20 And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:

 21 To fulfil the word of the YAHUAH by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.

Alahim registers a 'spiritual language' in his word and opens the eyes of those whom he has chosen to draw near to him to understand that spiritual language. The rest who are not chosen trample the outer court by interpreting his word carnally.

The house of Jacob went into the land of Egypt when the great famine came across the entire world and Alahim shows us that the number of the house of Jacob which came into Egypt were threescore and ten/seventy.

This can't be a concidence can it? Let's look at some more scriptures.

 De 10:22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the YAHUAH thy Alahim hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Zec 1:12 Then the angel of the YAHUAH answered and said, O YAHUAH of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?

In the message to the seven churches Messiah speaks to Smyrna that they shall have tribulation ten days. The message was to all the SEVEN CHURCHES as Messiah's elect were in all of these churches and promise of the crown of life to all elect. Hence Seven * ten days of tribulation  =70

 Re 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

The entire body comprised of wheat and tares and the wheat and the tares separated in the end. 

Let's look at another verse where three score and ten is mentioned. While the younger ruled the elder (as prophesied of Jacob and Esau) Scripture records that Solomon an elect of Alahim of all strangers that were in the land of Israel he separated to do the work to build the house of Alahim out of which threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens and fourscore to hewers in the mountain 

2Ch 2:1 ¶ And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the YAHUAH, and an house for his kingdom.

 2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

2Ch 2:17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

 18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.

So the house of the Yahuah was built by strangers who were in the land of Israel. What does this spiritually mean?

In spiritual comparison to the prayer of Moses the man of Alahim, Moses says that days of our years are threescore and ten and if by reason of strength they be fourscore i.e 80 and yet their strength labour and sorrow.

Ps 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

The threescore and ten thousand of strangers who bore burdens and the fourscore hewers in the mountain are a picture of those who labour to enter the rest but fall short because they are not chosen for salvation and are wrapped up in their vanity.

In our previous studies we have also learnt of the 7 beastly rules of Satan and the eighth is of the seven

Re 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Again we see two unique numbers SEVEN of the SEVENTY (threescore and ten) and Eight of the Eighty (Fourscore). Man in his carnality is bound to the elements of the world to be captive under the heavy burden of sin and tries to build an house to Alahim in his carnality but Alahim speaks about his house in this manner

Ac 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.

 48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Yahuah: or what is the place of my rest?

 50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

The temple Solomon built was a figure of the spiritual house built by Messiah the Son over his own house.

Heb 3:4 For every house is builded by some; but he that built all things is Alahim.

 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;

 6 But Messiah as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Alahim allowed the building of his house using stangers three score and ten/seventy who are part of Mystery Babylon as this kingdom of Satan was within Alahim's kingdom. The wheat and the tares together only to be separated in the end.

The captivity under the beastly rule (seven) and the eighth (fourscore) who is of the seven is a picture of a reward of a servant 'A penny a day' labouring in the vineyard (parable of the workers in the vineyard) for his salavtion but falls short of sonship and takes his penny and goes his way for it was designed by Alahim

Re 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Ps 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

The prayer of Moses asking Alahim to teach us to number our days so that we apply our hearts unto wisdom is in this context.

A brief overview of Isaiah 21

Isa 21:1 ¶ The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

 2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

 3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

In the book of Revelation Chapter 20 we see the Devil gathering Gog and Magog from the four quarters of the earth (north, south, east and west). We have seen and understood that Gog and Magog were descendants of Japeth and Japeth the father of the Gentiles.When the gospel went out the elect from the Gentiles came from the four quarters of the world into the tents of Shem as prophesied while along with them came those who were clinging to Messiah and trampling the outer court.

We have also seen in our previous studies that Ishmael, Esau, Moab, Ammon etc were children born out of due time which did not have inheritance with the elect of Alahim and were driven out from the people of Alahim. The people of Alahim were commanded not to mingle with them or give their sons or daughters in marriage with them. This ungodly seed mingled themselves with the heathen and pursue to come into the tents of Shem only to find a place in the outer court where they as heathen trample being part of Mystery Babylon.

While it is evident that only those chosen for salvation of grace would be part of the Tents of Shem the rest would find their place in the outer court, be it the Jews who were descendants of Shem or Gentiles the descendants of Japeth or Moab, Ammon, Edom, Ishmaelites, Egypt etc.

The language in Isaiah 21 is parabolic and a spiritual vs spiritual comparison will show the garrison of the enemy against the camp of the saints in the spirit of prophecy.

Alahim shows first that judgment begins at the house of Alahim and the first nation Alahim speaks of to go up is Elam. Notice that Alahim gives us important pieces of information here. 

1) A GREVIOUS VISION

2) A TREACHEROUS DEALER &

3) A SPOILER

Who was Elam?

 Ge 10:22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

Elam was the son of Shem who is the father of the Jews. Elam has mingled with Media (Medes Persia) in pursuing his own brethren within being part of Mystery Babylon.

In the book of Jeremiah Alahim tells us those that would drink of the cup of Mystery Babylon and Elam along with all false brethren and  Medes is mentioned there

Jer 25:15 ¶ For thus saith the YAHUAH Alahim of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

Jer 25:20 And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,

 21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,

 22 And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,

 23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,

 24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,

 25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,

Notice the words 'AND ALL THE MINGLED PEOPLE'

In the book of Genesis Chapter 14 we read of king of Elam mingling with king of Shinar (Shinar is Babylon) and other heathen kings to come against Sodom and Gomorrah and take Lot with his possessions as captive

Ge 14:1 ¶ And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;

 2 That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.

Ge 14:11 And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.

 12 And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

Abraham rescued Lot from them by defeating them. Abraham was a descendant of Shem and a true elect of Alahim.Here he is an imagery or a picture of Alahim the Father rescuing his elect Lot who is in the wicked hands of his own brethren who is now mingled with the heathen nations.

Isa 21:3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

 4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

When Isaiah saw the grevious vision he couldn't believe his eyes to see his own people mingled with a beastly kingdom coming against the elect of Alahim.

Alahim tells Isaiah in the spirit of prophecy to set up a watchman and let him tell what he sees

Isa 21:6 For thus hath the Yahuah said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

 7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

 8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

The watchman in the spirit of prophecy tells us who he sees

First we must recap and understand that this war is waged on the elect who dwell in Zion the city on the north. We have seen this in our previous studies. And in Isaiah 14 where Satan's desire is revealed where he says that he will sit in the sides of the north.

 Ps 48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Isa 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Alahim: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Couple of horsemen:

Zec 6:6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.

We see the black and the white horses go into the north country to quiet the spirit of prophecy. The white are deceptive where Satan as 2 witnesses of false gospels enters into Zion as angel of light.

Zec 6:8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.

Coming back to what the watchman sees. He sees a couple of horsemen  a chariot of asses and a chariot of camels and shouts "A LION"

Isaiah 21: 7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

 8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

LION is Babylon with her armies. A spiritual comparison will show who these chariots of asses and chariots of camels are.

Chariot of Asses:

Ge 36:19 These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.

 20 ¶ These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,

 21 And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.

 22 And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.

 23 And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

 24 And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.

Chariots of Camels:

Ge 37:25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

Joseph type of Messiah and his elect was sold into the hands of the Ishmeelites who came on camels. 

Jer 49:28 ¶ Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the YAHUAH; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.

 29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.

 Ge 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

We have further proof in the same chapter of Isaiah 21 that this is speaking of Ishmael

Isa 21:16 For thus hath the Yahuah said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

 17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the YAHUAH Alahim of Israel hath spoken it.

Ge 21:20 And Alahim was with the lad (ISHMAEL); and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.

Ge 25:13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

 14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

 15 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

Isaiah further in the same Chapter speaks of the burden of Dumah. Dumah and Tema were sons of Ishmael.

Isa 21:11 ¶ The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

 12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

 13 ¶ The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

 14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

 15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

Seir was the country of Edom. The burden of Dumah who was a son of Ishmael and Isaiah 21:11 says 'The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir'. Ishmael and Edom have joined forces.

Ge 32:3 ¶ And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 

What is the sin of Dumah and Tema? They brought water to him that was thirsty and prevented with their bread (water and bread synonyms used for false gospels) them who fled Mystery Babylon. So we see how Alahim uses Ishmael and his sons as a representation of false brethren coming with false gospels preventing those who try to escape Babylon.

Gog and Magog is the mingled seed of Jews (Elam) and Gentiles along with the Ishmaelites, Edomites, Moab,Ammon, Egypt etc which are representation of false brethren.

Isa 30:6 The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

They all enjoin forces with Satan to come against the people of Alahim.

Esau searched out

Ob 1:6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

When we read Romans 9 we see Aluahym's eternal purpose in declaring "Yaqoob have I loved, but Esau have I hated"

Ro 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of Aluahym according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
 12  It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
 13 As it is written, Yaqoob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

When we read the scriptures above our focus has always been on 'election by grace' on an individual level. While the individual perspective is true because Yaqqob and Esau were real men and blood brothers and an example for those elected for salvation by grace and those damned, there is a wider perspective because they both represent TWO NATIONS.

Ge 25:21 And Isaac intreated the YAHUAH for his wife, because she was barren: and YAHUAH was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the YAHUAH.
 23 And the YAHUAH said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

 Lu 21:10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

When we read Rom 9 with the wider perspective of Aluahym's eternal purpose by seeing that before these TWO NATIONS were brought forth Aluahym declared the separation of these two nations from the mother's womb. Rebekah being a type of the Woman who was to bring forth the man child also brought forth a seed which was carnal and would be at war with her godly seed all throughout time.
In our previous studies we have seen how the tables turn around when Esau of whom it was said "The elder shall serve the younger" would break the yoke of his brother Jacob off his neck and HE SHALL HAVE THE DOMINION.

Ge 27:38 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
 39 And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
 40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
 41 ¶ And Esau hated Yaqoob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Yaqoob.

Heb 11 states that Issac BLESSED Yaqoob and Esau concerning things to come. ESAU BLESSED?

Heb 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Yaqoob and Esau concerning things to come.

That's exactly what Heb 11:20 says that Esau was blessed.

To see this blessing we must examine the words that Isaac spoke to both Yaqoob and Esau in Gen 27:26-29 &  Gen 27:39 

Yaqoob's blessing: Ge 27:26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
 27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which YAHUAH hath blessed:
 28 Therefore Aluahym give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
 29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.

Esau's blessing: Gen 27:39And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
 40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

Yaqoob's blessing and Esau's blessing at a first glance may seem to have one thing common 'Dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth' but if we understood it this way it would contradict what Aluahym through the 'spirit of prophecy' was saying to both Yaqoob and Esau. A closer examination of the passages would show us clearly the difference. Here it is.

to Jacob Gen 27:28 Aluahym would GIVE THEE ...

to Esau Behold THY DWELLING SHALL BE...

Yaqoob was GIVEN and Esau would DWELL in that which was given to his brother. Two nations in a womb and separated in the last time as wheat is separated from tares. Moreover the verse says Yaqoob would get plenty of CORN AND WINE while this was absent from the blessing of Esau. The wider perspective is clearly seen and now understood as stated in the opening verse of this study

Ob 1:6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

Of Esau it is said in the previous verses that his Dwelling was in the clefts of the rock, his habitation was high. That's because of his brother Jacob

Ob 1:3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Song of Solomon a book professing the love between Messiah and his elect, prophetically Messiah the husband is telling his bride that she is in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs. That's where the elect dwell i.e. IN MASHIYACH.

 Song 2:14 ¶ O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

Let's read parallel verses from Jeremiah 49

Jer 49:10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
 11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
 12 For thus saith YAHUAH; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
 13 For I have sworn by myself, saith YAHUAH, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
 14 I have heard a rumour from YAHUAH, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
 15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
 16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith YAHUAH.

Bozrah was a place in Edom and Esau was the father of Edom. 

 Ge 36:43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.

Ge 36:8 Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.

That's where the false brethren dwelt, in the clefts of the rock and holding the height of the hill till Aluahym brings them down from there and uncovers Esau's secret places.

Speaking of Edom's judgment Aluahym's word speaks of Messiah making his garments red with the blood of those who dwell in Edom as treading in a winefat.

Isa 63:1 ¶ Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
 4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

Ps 137:7 ¶ Remember, O YAHUAH, the children of Edom in the day of Yarashalam; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.
 8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.
 9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

The blessing of Esau was in his dwelling in the tents of his brother Jacob until he would be searched out to be seen as small among the heathen, the nation which came out from Abraham's loins.

Ob 1:2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

Ge 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

Ob 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for YAHUAH hath spoken it.
