The wheat and the barley stricken

****For better reading kindly download the Hebrew keyboard unicode and the fonts or else the paleo hebrew letters will show as blocks in this post******


Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice/qol 饜饜饜 in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A quart/qab 饜饜 of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts/qabyam 饜饜饜饜 of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine. 

Qab/饜饜 H6894 is a hollow vessel used as a standard of measure and is a root word in qabah H6896 which means stomach, where the usage of the word only once is related to the stomach portion of the sacrifices given to the kohen/priests

Deu 18:3  “And this is the priest’s right from the people, from those who bring an offering, whether it is bull or sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the stomach/  饜饜饜 H6896 qabah

The primitive root from where 'qab & qabah' come from is 'qabab/饜饜饜' H6895 which means to scoop out, that is, (figuratively) to malign or execrate (that is, stab with words): -    X at all, curse.

The scroll of Chazun/Revelation is filled with imagery and has to be seen in spiritual comparison to understand portions of it. There was a voice in the midst of the four living creatures. The four living creatures here are figurative of the elect scattered to the four ends of the earth. Often, scripture attributes the earth to have four corners/ends from where he will assemble the outcasts of Yasharal and dispersed of Yahudah.

Isa 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Yashar’el, and gather together the dispersed of Yahudah from the four corners of the earth.

The voice/qol was in the midst of the four living creatures who preach the mystery of the basarah and the consequences of disobedience to it.

The sequence of the events recorded in Revelation 6 begin with the Lamb breaking the first seal and the living creatures with a voice/qol of a thunder/raam said ''bo ureh'' which means ''come and see''

Then the four horses and the horsemen are described in an imagery which went out to the four corners of the earth

In verses 6:1,3,5,7 i.e. four times the living creatures say ''bo ureh/ 饜饜 饜饜饜饜''

Isa 66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts; it comes to gather all nations and tongues and they shall come and see/ubau urau 饜饜饜饜 饜饜饜饜 My glory.  

In Yashayahu in gathering Yasharal from the ends of the earth Yahuah in future tense says ''they shall come and see/ubau urau''

John 1:39 He/Yahusha said to them, “Come, and see/ ba ureh 饜饜 饜饜饜饜 .” They came and saw his lodging place and they stayed with Him that day. It was about the tenth hour at the time.  

Yahusha told his disciples to come and see where he dwelt. Those following his voice/qol go seeking his dwelling place

The wheat and the barley were measured in quart/qab where one quart for wheat and three quarts for barley, again the number 4 seen which shows the dispersion to the ends of the earth. The quart/s were valued at 'denarius'
Denarius was not a currency of Yasharal,  shekel was. Again an indication showing the 12 tribes in the dispersion of the nations where their offerings barley and wheat are measured and valued in a dilution.

Ex 9:31 Now the flax/pashtah and the barley/sharah were ruined, for the barley/sharah was in the ear/abyab and the flax was in bud/gabal.
Ex 9:32 But the wheat/chattah and the rye/kasamath were not ruined, for they were not grown.  

Flax/pashtah 饜饜饜饜 H6594 Flax is a plant with blue flowers from which textile fibre as linen is made from its stalks.
Barley/sharah (pronounced as seor) 饜饜饜饜 is a spring crop and marks the beginning of Abib/abyab

When Yahuah struck Mitsrayim with his plagues it was already Abib as the barley was in the ear/abib 饜饜饜饜饜. This is evidence that the exodus happened post the sequence of plagues which Yahuah struck Mitsrayim with in the month of Abib. The other proof is Exo 9:31 where its mentioned that the wheat and the rye were not ruined for they were not grown. 

Scriptures 1998 is apt in its translation because if wheat was grown up even a little the hail would destroy them

Exo 9:32  But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten, for they were late crops. 

Flax from which comes the blue fine linen and the barley were smitten by Yahuah through the hail. Hail was the 7th plague in the land of Mitsrayim

Exo 9:23 And Mosheh stretched forth 讗转 eth-his rod toward the heavens: and YAHUAH sent thunder or voices/qoloth 饜饜饜 and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and YAHUAH rained hail upon the land of Mitsrayim.

Exo 9:24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Mitsrayim since it became a nation.

We read in Rev 6:1,6 that there was a voice/qol as of a thunder in the midst of the four living creatures and each living creature describing the effects of the plague of the four horsemen going out and we see in Exodus 9:23 the same word 'qoloth' voices being used, it says .....and YAHUAH sent thunder or voices/qoloth 饜饜饜 and hail

The result of the hail was the blue linen yielding flax, blue is a color representing royal and so is purple and scarlet as these threads were intertwined and present in curtains, all hangings of the tabernacle, priestly clothing etc. The ten plagues show a completeness of Yahuah's wrath against Mitsrayim for holding His people captive and violating his ten commandments. The scroll of Chazun show a similar kind of plagues but this time the audience is not nation of Mitsrayim but earthly Yerushalayim for they don't transition into the completeness of Yahusha ha Mashiyach

Rev 11:8  and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim, where also our Master was impaled, 

Our Master was impaled in Yerushalayim. The present fleshly Yerushalayim are the people who say they obey the Torah but are occupied wholly in the carnal letter and have not been transitioned into the Torah of Ruach and Amat (Spirit and Truth)

Gal 4:21  Say to me, you who wish to be under Torah, do you not hear the Torah? 
Gal 4:22  For it has been written that Aḇraham had two sons, one by a female servant, the other by a free woman. 
Gal 4:23  But he who was of the female servant was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through promise. 
Gal 4:24  This is allegorical, for these are the two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai which brings forth slavery, which is Haḡar, 
Gal 4:25  for this Haḡar is Mount Sinai in Araḇia, and corresponds to Yerushalayim which now is, and is in slavery with her children. 
Gal 4:26  But the Yerushalayim above is free, which is the mother of us all.

The barley during the month of Abib/Abyab was a sheaf offering brought along with the crushed grain offering, offered during first fruits. The bread made from the roasted grain or fresh grain was from the previous year grain as Torah stated they couldn't eat the new grain until it was offered to Yahuah. Hence, the switch over from the flour used from the previous years grain to the new years grain happened during the feast of Unleavened Bread, that's because the feast of firstfruits falls 3 days after Pesach/Passover and the feast of Unleavened bread is 7 days from Pesach. This shows a transition from the old lump to the new lump in Mashiyach Yahusha.

Lev 23:9  And 讬讛讜讛 spoke to Mosheh, saying, 
Lev 23:10  “Speak to the children of Yisra’臅l, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. 

Lev 23:11  ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before 讬讛讜讛, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it. 

Lev 23:13  and its grain offering/manchah 饜饜饜饜: two-tenths of an 臅phah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to 讬讛讜讛, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine. 

Lev 23:14  ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 

But when the barley is smitten in the ear/abib then there is no new grain/manchah. What remains is the stocked previous years grain which represents the old lump. We must see the plagues in light of spiritual vs spiritual as we just read in Chazun/Revelation 11 that the dead bodies of the two witnesses i.e. the Torah and the prophets lie in the streets of Yerushalayim figurative as Mitsrayim and Sedom.

Barad: Hail


This hail had fire/ash 饜饜 which ran along upon the ground. Bar is an Aramaic Hebrew word for Son, the son is the remnant of Yahuah spread through the four ends of the earth and the fire/ash is the fiery trial through which they come back to Yahuah even as Yahuah pours out his wrath on carnal Yerushalayim represented by Mitsrayim. The prodigal son comes back into the Father's tent.

Outside the Father's tent the wheat and the barley are valueless represented by denarius a pagan Roman currency where a measure of wheat (a late crop) is valued at a denarius and three measures of barley is valued at a denarius.

The fine flour crushed wheat represented by ephah of fine flour was a poor man's sin offering and also an offering made by fire during Shavout/Pentecost

Lev 23:15  ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths. 
Lev 23:16  ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering/manchah 饜饜饜饜 to 讬讛讜讛. 

Lev 23:17  ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an 臅phah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to 讬讛讜讛. 

When Shavout was around the wheat was fully grown, that's why we see Exo 9:32 mentions the wheat and the rye/spelt were not smitten for they were late crops

Exo 9:32  But the wheat and the spelt were not smitten, for they were late crops. 

In Rev 6 we see even the wheat along with the barley smitten because the verse says not to hurt the oil and the wine

Rev 6:6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine

The oil and the wine are winter produces, oil available through crushed olives and wine available through crushed grapes. 

The scriptures are consistent, ZacharYah saw a vision of the menorah/lampstand which had 2 olive branches which emptied the golden oil by themselves. The zayith/olive oil comes from crushed olives

Zec 4:12  And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are these two olive branches which empty golden oil from themselves by means of the two gold pipes?”

Yahuchanan saw the Son of Man standing in the midst of the seven lampstands, the lampstands had oil in the time during troublous times which shows he is the one who provides the oil and keeps the lampstand burning

Rev 1:12  And I turned to see the voice which spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, 

Rev 1:13  and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Aḏam, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 

Olives and Grapes are post summer fruits in Yasharal & grow during winter time and Yahuah records that he will cause Yasharal's splendour to be like an olive tree and he shall blossom like a vine and become fragrant as the wine of Lebanon

Hos 14:4  “I shall heal their backsliding, I shall love them spontaneously, for My displeasure has turned away from him. 
Hos 14:5  “I shall be like the dew to Yisra’臅l. He shall blossom like the lily, and cast out his roots like Leḇanon. 
Hos 14:6  “His branches shall spread, and his splendour shall be like an olive tree, and his fragrance like Leḇanon. 
Hos 14:7  “Those who dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive like grain, and blossom like the vine, and become as fragrant as the wine of Leḇanon. 

Hos 14:8  “What more has Ephrayim to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after him. I am like a green cypress tree, your fruit comes from Me.” 

According to Torah in the daily offering morning and evening sacrifice, along with it was offered the one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering

Exo 29:39  “Prepare the one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb you prepare between the evenings, 
Exo 29:40  and one-tenth of an 臅phah of flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of pressed oil, and one-fourth of a hin of wine as a drink offering, with the one lamb. 
Exo 29:41  “And prepare the other lamb between the evenings. And with it prepare the grain offering and the drink offering, as in the morning, for a sweet fragrance, an offering made by fire to 讬讛讜讛 – 

Exo 29:42  a continual burnt offering for your generations at the door of the Tent of Meeting before 讬讛讜讛, where I shall meet with you to speak with you. 

While the daily was ceased and so did the one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour made from wheat, however, the oil and wine did not cease, the one-fourth measure again shows the number 4 where Yasharal is driven and the remnant from the 12 tribes are nourished

Dan 9:27  “And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall put an end to slaughtering H2077/zabach 饜饜饜 and meal offering H4503/manchah 饜饜饜饜. And on the wing of abominations he shall lay waste, even until the complete end and that which is decreed is poured out on the one who lays waste

We have touch based before that Yahusha ha Mashiyach fulfilled the morning and evening sacrifice as when he hung on the stake there was darkness over the whole land thus making the morning and evening lamb sacrifice one in Him.

Mat 27:45  And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. 

The 5 wise virgins having oil in their lamps and the cup from which we drink in remembrance of the death of Mashiyach remembering his shed blood for us shows us the remnant are covenanted in an eternal covenant and hence the oil and the wine will never diminish for them.

Ezekiel was told to lie on his left side for 390 days for the iniquity of the house of Yasharal and 40 days on the right side for the iniquity of the house of Yahudah and Yahuah appointed each day for a year. 390 + 40 = 430 days, each day for a year and its likened to the bitter bondage of the house of Yasharal from the time of Abraham's sojourning with the promised seed Yitshaq and Yaaqob in the promised land as strangers right until their seed going into Mitsrayim and coming back into the promised land

Eze 4:4 Lie you also upon your left side, and lay 讗转 eth-the iniquity of the house of Yashar’el upon it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon it you shall bear their iniquity.
Eze 4:5 For I have laid upon you 讗转 eth-the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Yashar’el.
Eze 4:6 And when you have 讗转 eth-accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear 讗转 eth-the iniquity of the house of Yahudah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
Eze 4:7 Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Yerushalayim, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
Eze 4:8 And, behold, I will lay bands upon you, and you shall not turn from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.

Eze 4:9 Take also unto you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and rye H3698/kasamath 饜饜饜饜, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.

All these 430 days, a day for a year he was told to eat bread made from wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and rye. Remember we are referring to the likening to the plague in Mitsrayim where the wheat and the rye were not smitten and the barley and the grains of the previous year would only be available as they were smitten by the hail/barad.

Exo 9:32  But the wheat and the rye were not smitten, for they were not yet grown. 

Hence, Ezekiel was asked to eat bread made from these grains for 430 days prophesying the siege of Yerushalayim (Eze 4:7) and indicating to them that these all will cease post the seize.

Remember, we are talking about carnal Yerushalayim who is likened to Mitsrayim and who doesn't transition to the renewed covenant in Mashiyach and is occupied in the carnal letter thus killing the two fold witness of the Torah and the Nebim.

2Ch 2:15  “And now, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine which my master has spoken of, let him send to his servants. 

2Ch 2:16  “And let us cut wood from Leḇanon, as much as you need, and bring it to you in rafts by sea to Yapho, and you take it up to Yerushalayim.”

The wheat, barley, oil and wine in abundance was sent to the servants of Huram the king of Tyre in exchange for wood to be sent by floats to build the house of Yahuah. While the physical house lies desolate and Yasharal in dispersion, the Ruach house is being built in Mashiyach who is the Miqdash.

Vayikra/ Leviticus 23:22 ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am 讬讛讜讛 your Elohim.’ 

Yahuah dispersed all of Yasharal to the ends of the earth. Scripture portrays the earth to have four corners.
YashaYahu/Isaiah 11:12 And He shall raise a banner for the nations/guym, and gather the outcasts of Yasharal, and assemble the dispersed of Yahuḏah from the four corners of the earth.
The dispersion is the captivity where Yasharal waits for His Redeemer Yahusha ha Mashiyach to come and take him to Renewed Yerushalayim. Yasharal remains as the poor scattered to the four ends of the earth gleaning from the portion Yahuah left for him just as Alazar (Aluahym helped) desiring the crumbs falling from the rich man's (Carnal Yasharal) table. (Luke 16:19-32 parable)
We gather the bits and pieces of the portion left for us to understand the whole pattern being transitioned from the physical to the spiritual, to be unleavened in Mashiyach. When we read Vayikra/Leveticus 25 we see the Law of the land in the Shemittah cycle
Vayikra/Lev 25: 3 ‘Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit,
4 but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to 讬讛讜讛. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard.
5 ‘Do not reap what grows of its own of your harvest, and do not gather the grapes of your unpruned vine, for it is a year of rest for the land.
6 ‘And the Sabbath of the land shall be to you for food, for you and your servant, and for your female servant and your hired servant, and for the stranger who sojourns with you,
In the 7th year the land had to have the solemn rest and no one had to sow or reap in it but eat of what grows of itself.
Similarly in the 7 Shemittah cycles, the 50th year was the year of jubilee
Vayikra/Lev 25:8 ‘And you shall count seven Sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years. And the time of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.
9 ‘You shall then sound a shophar-sound on the tenth day of the seventh new moon, on Yom haKippurim a cause a shophar to sound through all your land.
10 ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Yoḇel for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan.
11 ‘The fiftieth year is a Yoḇel to you. Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from its unpruned vine.
12 ‘It is a Yoḇel, it is set-apart to you. Eat from the field its crops.
13 ‘In the Year of this Yoḇel let each one of you return to his possession.
The Yobel/jubilee was a year of completion of the Seven Sevens ...a complete 7 Shemittah cycles where not only one couldn't sow or reap but each one returns to his own possession. The announcement of the Yobel was to be made on the Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur
Acts 2 says... 1 And when the Day of the Festival of Shavuot had FULLY come, they were all with one mind in one place.
While the Ruach of Supplication and Prayer would manifest in the groaning and fast of Yasharal in dispersion as on the Day of Yom Kippur when Ephraim who represents Yasharal comes back to the Tent through the cleansing water of the ashes of the Adam Parah/Red Heifer mourning but there is great joy just as seen in the Prodigal son parable where he returned to the Ahba's house and a fattened calf was slaughtered for him and there was great rejoicing, these were parables/parabolic of the return of Yasharal from the four corners of the field from crumbs to wholeness, from poverty to being rich in Mashiyach. And that's what Shavout is all about. Being whole in Mashiyach, being one in him as the ascending offering.
When Yahudah went into the Babylonian captivity the poor of the land who once gleaned from the four corners of the field when Yahudah were in the land were now in the Shabbat rest of the land as they ate what grew of itself seventy years as she laid waste with no one to sow or reap
2Chr 36: 20 And those who escaped from the sword he exiled to Baḇel, where they became servants to him and his sons until the reign of the reign of Persia,
21 in order to fill the word of 讬讛讜讛 by the mouth of Yirmeyahu, until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths. As long as she lay waste she kept Sabbath, until seventy years were completed.
The seventy years completed: shabayam shanah mala
The word shabah H7620 singular in the shabayam also means 'Week'
The word 'shanah' H8141 which means years also means in H8138 to change/repeated
The word mala H4390 means to be full/fullness
The Weeks/shabayam shanah/repeated were completed or fullness/mala
The poor of the land rested the Sabbath with the land for the weeks which were repeated in fullness as now they had the food in abundance. We were sent out of the land to bear the reproach of Mashiyach outside the camp. We come back cleansed in the cleansing water of our Adam Parah i.e. Mashiyach. We transition in Him into the fullness of the Shabbat rest being filled with His Ruach.
While we wait for the blowing of the shophar when our redemption will be completed, when Yasharal returns to His Creator in fullness, let us offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to Mashiyach in being transitioned into the Ruach of life and being unleavened in Him and remember though the wheat and the barley may seem to cease yet he promises his remnant that he will give them the hidden manna and labanah aban/brick stone with a renewed name written on it which no one knows except him who receives it

Rev 2:17  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes I shall give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I shall give him a brick/labanah stone/aban, and on the stone/aban a renewed Name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’ 

The manna was the bread from heaven which sustained Yasharal in the wilderness when the wheat and the barley was not yet available unto them in abundance until in the promised land. The manna ceased when they entered the promised land. Yahusha promises his remnant to give them the hidden manna which once again shows the wheat and the barley in scarcity being destroyed in the plague. Only the old wheat and barley (of the previous year) would be available and hence Revelation 6:6 records a measure of wheat for a denarius and three measures of barley for a denarius where qab/饜饜 from qabah/饜饜饜 stomach shows the famine of not being nourished by these.

Similarly the bricks/饜饜饜饜 labanah in Mitsrayim were made in hard bondage during the plague time when Pharaoh refused to provide straw/饜饜饜 taban to Yasharal and they went searching for the straw piece by piece to make the bricks

Exo 5:7  “You are no longer to give the people straw H8401/饜饜饜 taban to make bricks as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. 

The word used for pattern is the word 'tabanyth' which has the same root word 'taban' which also has the root word 'yath/yod tau' 饜饜 which shows the hand/yod impaled on the stake/tau

Exo 25:40  “So see, and do according to the pattern H8403/饜饜饜饜饜 tabanyth which was shown to you on the mountain. 

The suffering Yasharal goes through is in the death of Mashiyach in gathering the straw for the bricks to understand the whole pattern/tabanyth where 'yath' shows the hand/yod impaled to the stake/tau.

The English translation in Rev 2:17 says 'white stone' but its 'brick stone'. Further the word 'aban' translated as stone has both the root words 'Abh and the Ban' 饜饜饜
The word 'labanah' 饜饜饜饜 has the root word 'lab 饜饜/heart' 'ban 饜饜/son' 'ha 饜/of the'

Labanah Aban: 'Heart of the Son, Father and Son' 

Hence, the renewed name on the labanah aban is of the Father Yahuah and the Son Yahusha which only the one receiving would know through the pattern/tabanyth but not without suffering.

Psa 4:7  You have put more gladness in my heart, Than in the season that their grain and wine increased. 

Psa 4:8  I lie down in peace altogether, and sleep; For You alone, O 讬讛讜讛, make me dwell in safety

While we glean the straw and the wheat and the barley from the corners of the fields being scattered to the four corners of the earth only to gather crumbs, Yahusha feeds us with the hidden manna for our sustenance just as he did with Yasharal in the wilderness. We proclaim his basarah preaching to the lost sheep of the house of Yasharal to forsake the carnal way to be transitioned into the completeness of Mashiyach and those who refuse the transition will have to face the scarcity of food being in the plague of being dispersed with the crumbs not sufficing the nourishment and eventually the second death.So many imageries hidden in scripture showing us the times we live in.
