The yield of the ground finding its spiritual pattern

 Gen 2:19 And out of the ground YAHUAH ELOHIYM formed /yatsar H3335 every beast/chay H2416 of the field/sadah H7704, and את eth every fowl/auph H5775 of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

Gen 2:20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a help meet for him.

yatsar H3335 'mould into a form'

chay H2416 'living'

sadah H7704 soil, field, also H5475 sud is rooted which means 'counsel/secret/inward/hidden'

Genesis 2 is a historical brief of Genesis 1. 

Gen 2:4 These are the generations/taldah H8435 of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YAHUAH ELOHIYM made the earth and the heavens,

The word taldah has the root word lad which means 'child/lad' & yalad which means 'bear beget, bring forth, midwife'

The correct translation should be ''These are the births of the heavens and of the earth when they were created/bara'

Where was Adam created?

Gen 3:23 Therefore YAHUAH ELOHIYM sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till את eth-ground from whence he was taken.

Adam was driven out from the garden of Eden to till the ground from where he was taken. This shows he was created from the soil outside of Eden

Is Adam a name?

Gen 5:1 THIS is the cepher of the generations of A’dam. In the day that ELOHIYM created man, in the likeness of ELOHIYM made he him;
Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called את eth-their name/shem H8034 A’dam, in the day when they were created.

While scripture records both the man and the woman were named/shem ADAM, Adam is a generic term in Hebrew which means 'Man'. Yahusha called Himself so many times as 'Son of Adam/Man', identifying Himself to the seed of man He took on. It is interesting to see Yahusha takes hold of the seed of Abraham, it doesn't say Adam but Abraham. Its because Abraham means 'father /Ahb of exaltation of  many/rum'. Abraham is a proper noun while Adam is a common noun. Scriptures call man as adam which also means 'man of low degree'. That's why we have the 'song of ascents' in the Psalms where the man of low degree has to rise up into the heavenly by the Ruach to reach Yahuah in halal/praise

Heb 2:16  For, doubtless, He does not take hold of messengers, but He does take hold of the seed of Aḇraham.
Heb 2:17  So in every way He had to be made like His brothers, in order to become a compassionate and trustworthy High Priest in matters related to Elohim, to make atonement for the sins of the people. 

Man/Adam in his flesh is earthy and represents the ground/soil and Yahusha by bowing down the heavens taking the form of man/Adam ascended into the heavenly pattern which He represents and from where He came

Heb 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man​/Adam​, that you are mindful of him? or the Son of A’dam​/Man​, that you visit him?

Heb 2:7 You made him a little lower than ELOHIYM; you crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of your hands:Heb 2:9 But we see YAHUSHA, who was made a little lower than ELOHIYM for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of YAHUAH should taste death for every man.
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their yeshu`ah perfect through sufferings.

Heb 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death את eth he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

1Co 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first/rashun man/adam  A’dam was made a living soul (Bere’shiyth 2:7); the last A’dam was made a quickening ruach (spirit).
1Co 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

If you notice 1 Corin 15:45 the rash/first head man is repeated twice in the text whilst the last Adam is only mentioned once in the scripture. This is because the Last Adam referring to Messiah represents in Himself the whole Adamic race 'man man' to translate them into Himself in the Heavenly, as He is the quickening Ruach. He Himself is the rashun/rashayaith 

Gen 1:1  In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.

Gen 1: 1 in Hebrew Barashayith bara Alahym alaph tau hashamayim uau alaph tau haarets 

Barashayith has the root words 'bar' which means son, rashayith which means 'first' and bara which means 'create', ba which means 'In'

Hence, Ba/In the bar/son  He bara/created the rash/first

Mashiyach was already in the 'BARASHAIYTH' as adam adam (man man) representing the spiritual marked pattern (alaph tau) heavens/hashamayim and the spiritually marked (alaph tau) earth/haarets, translating the entire pattern into Himsellf. That is why He is called the Dabar of Alahym who is Alahym. The Dabar was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.

Dabar: Dalet Bet Resh 

Dalet is the door and Best Resh form the word 'bar' which means Son. 

Shaul the emissary goes on to say in 1 Corin 15:46  that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. While the spiritual heavenly pattern stood invisible in the DABAR, the natural pattern came first visible as out of nothing Yahuah created the heavens and the earth

Let's revisit Gen 2:4

Gen 2:4  These are the births of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that יהוה Elohim made earth and heavens. 

The births/taldah were of the spiritual heavens and the earth', a pattern concealed in the natural 'earth and the heavens'

Gen 1:20  And Elohim said, “Let the waters teem with shoals of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth on the face of the expanse of the heavens.”
Gen 1:21  And Elohim created great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters teemed, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And Elohim saw that it was good.
Gen 1:22  And Elohim blessed them, saying, “Bear fruit and increase, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.”
Gen 1:23  And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, the fifth day.
Gen 1:24  And Elohim said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: livestock and creeping creatures and beasts of the earth, according to its kind.” And it came to be so.
Gen 1:25  And Elohim made the living/chay of the earth according to its kind/mayan H4327, livestock/behemah H929 according to its kind/mayan H4327, and all that creep/remes H7431 on the earth according to its kind/mayan H4327. And Elohim saw that it was good.
Gen 1:26  And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.” 

Gen 1:31 And ELOHIYM saw את eth-everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Coming back to the naming of creatures, Yahuah Alahym made living creatures of the waters and birds on the FIFTH day and living of the earth, livestock, creeping things on the earth according to its kind on the SIXTH day. Man was also created on the sixth day

The word 'mayan' H4327  in the Gen 1:25 text has the root word H4480 man which means 'like/kind of' which shows these creatures including Adam/man represented a kind of. We already saw Gen 2:4 recording the births of the heavens and the earth (spiritual pattern) when Yahuah Alahym made the earth and the heavens (natural) and that the natural comes first.

Gen 2:19 And out of the ground YAHUAH ELOHIYM formed /yatsar H3335 every beast/chay H2416 of the field/sadah H7704, and את eth every fowl/auph H5775 of the heavens; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them: and whatsoever the man called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Gen 2:20 And the man gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for the man there was not found a help meet for him.

yatsar H3335 'mold into a form'

chay H2416 'living'

sadah H7704 soil, field, also H5475 sud is rooted which means 'counsel/secret/inward/hidden'

auph H5575 a winged bird also means H5774 'wings/fly/shine forth'

Yahuah Alahym molded every living thing of the field/soil concealing something and fowl/ winged creatures of the heavens. That's why we see it is  written in scripture as quoted by Messiah Himself He is called as the Adon of the living and identifies Himself as the Adon of Abraham, Yitshaq and Yaaqob, for to Him all live. 

Mat 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by ELOHIYM, saying,
Mat 22:32 I am the ELOHIYM of Avraham, and the ELOHIYM of Yitschaq, and the ELOHIYM of Ya`aqov ? ELOHIYM is not the ELOHIYM of the dead, but of the living.

He was also seen in visions amongst the winged/auph creatures as cherubim & seraphim. Same Yahuah is also seen as 'adam adam (man man) as stated in 1 Corin 15:45. Genesis 1 is amazing and all this makes sense when we understand this

Day 1 : From formless , void, darkness to Let there be Light and there was light. 2 Corin 4:6 says the light of the knowledge of the esteem of Yahuah is through the face of Yahusha. Day 1 is about Yahusha in the Barashaiyth concealing all pattern into Himself being Alahym Himself

2Co 4:6 For YAHUAH, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of YAHUAH in the face of YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH.

Day 2 & 3 : Division of the patterns, waters beneath from waters above & all herbs of the earth and plant kingdom

Gen 1:7  And Alahym made the firmament, and divided/badal H914  bayan H996 the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 

Badal means separate and bayan means 'between'

Day 3 seed sprout after its mayan/kind 

Gen 1:11  And Elohim said, “Let the earth bring forth/dasha  grass/dasha, the plant that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth.” And it came to be so. 

Again we see the repetition of words 'dasha dasha' which means 'sprout sprout' which shows us there was a kind of/man seed in a seed 

Gen 1:11  And Alahym said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding/zera seed/zera, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 

Again repetition 'zera zera' which means 'seed seed' after its kind/mayan which we saw has the root word 'man' H4480 which means 'like/kind of'

Hence, Day 2 & 3 is witnessing oneness & separation, unity and diversity. Number 2 and 3 in scripture speaks of witnesses/witness. As Torah says 'In the hearing of 2 or 3 witnesses every word is established'. The word is One but it came as words to the ears in establishing doctrine.

Day 4: Sun, moon and stars. Number 4 in Hebrew is 'rebiy' which comes from the word 'arabah' H702 which speaks of ends of the earth. The sun, moon and stars are visible to the eyes of all who dwell on the face of the earth as these lights rotate to be seen as per the time set for them.

Gen 1:14  And Alahym said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide/badal bayan the day from the night; and let them be for signs/aut H226, and for appointed times /muaed H4150 , and for days/yom H3117, and years/shanah H8141: 

The lights would separate between day and night and would be for signs/aut distinguishing between light and dark, Yahuah's appointed times (feast days), days (normal days) and years (normal vs Sabbatical years)

Day 5 & Day 6: We already saw on Day 5 Yahuah Alahym molded/yastsar the winged/auph kind/man of creatures and in visions He was seen among winged like creatures. He formed/yatsar the living of the waters and living of the earth and He is the ADON of the living, same Yahuah is also seen forming/yatsar the man out of the ground as 'adam adam (man man) as stated in 1 Corin 15:45. 

If you notice in Gen 1 not a single created/bara, formed/yatsar thing or creatures were named. He brought everything to the feet of the man to name them and whatever the man named it, it was named accordingly, while the man/adam was himself not named because Adam would find his name in Yahusha ha Mashiyach. But with a condition of overcoming

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

The name would come engraved on a white stone/labanah. The Hebrew word 'labanah' is translated as 'brick' and has the root word 'lab' which means 'heart'. Hence, the renewed name would be given only to the man/adam who would ascend through the songs/shir of ascents to the throne of Yahuah in the face of Mashiyach i.e. through the heavenly pattern Yahusha by being washed in His blood. The rest will be earthy and into dust they shall return.

Number 5 in scripture stands for the Torah of life. The Torah of life came concealed/sud in the Torah of a fleshly command engraved on stones. Shaul the emissary wrote to the Corinthian assembly about speaking in tongues that he would speak 5 words in understanding than 10,000 words in an unknown tongue, indicating that the five words are the Torah of life which convicts & saves a person whose heart Yahuah opens.

Number 6 in scripture signifies falling short of perfection. Beasts, creeping things and man were created on the 6th day from dust. Hence, in Ecclesiastes 3:19 says what befalls a beast befalls a man. All have one breath and man/adam has no preeminence over a beast. Hence, the man of dust or low degree has to rise up in  a song of ascent to the throne of Yahuah in Yahusha who is the pattern of both the heavenly as well as the earthly, in taking hold of the seed of Abraham (father exalted of many)

Ecc 3:19 For that which befalls the sons of men/adam  befalls beasts/behemah; even one thing befalls them: as the one dies, so dies the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man has no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.

The Yahudites boasted we are the seed of Abraham and are not in bondage, Yahusha told them whoever sins is a slave of sin and indicated to them that if the Son sets you free you are free indeed, and they took up stones to stone Him.  As we learnt adam is a common noun and Abraham a proper noun and all the elect find their exalted Father in Mashiyach and not in the man of low degree/adam and for the sake of suffering Yahusha became lower than Alahym and took the earthly pattern to translate His people into Himself in the heavenly pattern.

Number 7: 

Scripture records the heavens and the earth (spiritual) were finished and all the host of them and Yahuah Alahym rested on the 7th day and sanctified the 7th day as Qodesh.

The entire pattern Day 1 to Day 6 finds its fulfillment in the accomplishment of the Ruach pattern Yahuah Alahym made and concealed as coming in the form of Yahusha

Gen 2:1 THUS the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day ELOHIYM ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And ELOHIYM blessed את eth-the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which ELOHIYM created and made.

Heb 4:3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

Heb 4:8 For if Yahusha (the son of Nun) had given them rest, perchance another would speak again of this day.
Heb 4:9 There remains therefore a Shabbath for the people of YAH.

There remains a Shabbath for the people of Yah as we are still in the natural and the written Shabbath came as a command and as a sign/aut of the Covenant of the Spiritual Shabbath in Mashiyach which Yahuah in his counsel already rested having finished the works before the foundation of the world. The entire earthy pattern finds its fulfillment in the number 7 which stands for totality and completion.We sons of adam, a common noun find our way into the heavenly to the sons of Yahuah in the last Adam who would translate us into the Ruach, with a renewed name.

Shalum Maspachaha!

Is it One or Two demon possessed men at Decapolis?

 When we read the basharah accounts on the demon possessed men at face value we may land up with contradictions and hence, without the Ruach understanding and looking at scriptures below the surface level we will not see the beautiful picture and harmony in scriptures.

Now lets look at the same account mentioned in different basharah's to see the harmony in scripture

Matthew's account: Matthew's account states there were 2 possessed with devils and the region stated here is Gergesenes from Strongs H1622 which is 'Girgashiy', one of the native tribes of Kenaan.

Mat 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Girgashiym, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

Mark's account: Mark's account states there was a man with an unclean spirit and the region stated there is Gadarenes

Mar 5:1 AND they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes

Mar 5:2  And when He came out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 

Luke's account: Luke's account states a certain man from the city who had demons for a long time and the region mentioned there is Gadarenes which is opposite Galil.

Luk 8:26  And they sailed to the country of the Gaḏarenes, which is opposite Galil. 

Luk 8:27  And as He went out onto the land, He was met by a certain man, from the city, who had demons for a long time. And he wore no garments, and he was not living in a house but in the tombs.

Yahuchanan/John's basharah is silent on this incident and states that there is much else that Yahusha did and if everyone of them were written down, the world itself would not contain the written books.

Joh 21:25  Now there is much else that יהושע did. If every one of them were written down, I think that the world itself would not contain the written books. Amĕn. 

The question is were there two demon possessed men or just one?

Firstly we must understand that Matthew was one of the 12 disciples of Yahusha whilst John Mark who wrote basharah of Mark and Luke were companions of emissary Shaul's journeys were not among the 12 disciples of Yahusha. Whilst John Mark was separated from Shaul due to the sharp argument between Shaul and Barnabah as Barnabah wanted John Mark to be a part of their journey in preaching the basharah to the GENTILES, Shaul refused as John Mark had left them in between to go back to Yerushalayim. Hence, Barnabah split ways with Shaul and took John Mark with him.

Remember the Ruach had separated Shaul and Baranabah to the work of the ministering to the Gentile (Yahudim in dispersion) and with John Mark returning to Yerushalayim where Kepha (Peter), Yaaqob (James) & Yahuchanan (John) were who were emissaries to the Yahudi's, Shaul may have thought John Mark was not fit for ministering the basharah to the Gentiles and was not clear in his calling.

Act 12:25  And Barnaḇah and Sha’ul returned from Yerushalayim, having completed the service, and having taken with them Yoḥanan who was also called Mark. 

Act 13:5  And having come into Salamis, they proclaimed the word of Elohim in the congregations of the Yehuḏim. And they also had Yoḥanan as an attendant. 

Act 13:13  And having put out from Paphos, Sha’ul and those with him came to Perge in Pamphulia. And Yoḥanan, having left them, returned to Yerushalayim. 

Act 15:36  And after some days Sha’ul said to Barnaḇah, “Let us now go back and visit our brothers in every city where we proclaimed the Word of יהוה, and see how they are.” 

Act 15:37  And Barnaḇah purposed to take with them Yoḥanan called Mark. 

Act 15:38  But Sha’ul thought it not fit to take with them the one who withdrew from them in Pamphulia, and had not gone with them to the work. 

Act 15:39  A sharp feeling therefore came to be, so that they parted from one another. And so Barnaḇah took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. 

Act 15:40  And Sha’ul chose Sila and went off, being committed by the brothers to the favour of Elohim

Later Shaul realizes his mistake and while Barnabah is not mentioned after the split (probably he was martyred by then) , Shaul asks Timothy to bring Mark along with him because Mark was indeed preaching basharah to the Gentiles.

2Ti 4:11  Luke alone is with me. Take Mark and bring him with you, for he is of good use to me for service. 

Nevertheless John Mark and Luke were later converts. Hence, Matthew being one of the 12 writes as an eye witness whilst the other 2 write what they have heard from the testimony of men (second witnesses) and of course by the Ruach jotted down what was only revealed to them.

The first time John Mark is named in Acts when Kepha (Peter) was miraculously released by the messenger from the prison and had come to his house where many were gathered to pray

Act 12:12  And having realised this, he went to the house of Miryam, the mother of Yoḥanan who was also called Mark, where many had gathered to pray. 

Later on we see John Mark back in emissary Shaul's journey. It's interesting to see that Mark was the relative of Barnabah, the emissary and Barnabah saw Mark's calling even though he had left for Yerushalayim whilst Shaul saw his calling later

Col 4:10  Aristarchos my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the relative of Barnaḇah about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him, 

Phm 1:23  Epaphras, fellow prisoner of me in Messiah יהושע, greets you, 

Phm 1:24  and Mark, Aristarchos, Demas, Luke, my fellow workers. 

This indicates that Mark the relative of Barnabah was with Shaul during his First Imprisonment in Rome, during which he wrote the four Prison Epistles (Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians).

1Pe 5:13  She who is in Baḇel, chosen together with you, greets you, also my son, Mark. 

Kepha mentions Mark being with him which is an indication that Mark wrote the basharah as second witness, the one who heard about the witness of Yahusha from the eye witnesses.

Why am I stating these facts we will see a bit later. Before this let's read about Luke

Luk 1:1 FORASMUCH as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,

Luk 1:2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

Luk 1:3  it seemed good to me as well, having followed up all these matters exactly from the beginning, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilos, 

Luk 1:4 That you might know the certainty of those things, wherein you have been instructed.

Luke is writing to Theophilus a Greek name which means lover of god was probably a Roman official who had converted to being a Messianic. The way he is addressed as 'most excellent Theophilus' was an address made to  Roman governor/authority

Act 23:26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sends greeting.

Tertullus in his accusation on Shaul mentions in his accustion

Act 24:3  we accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanks. 

Shaul addresses the Governor as 'most excellent'

Act 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness

Looking at what Luke is writing, he mentions in Luk 1:2 that the account he witnesses was given to them who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the dabar of Yahusha.

 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

And in verse 3 Luke says that he has followed up on all these matters exactly from the beginning to write this orderly account.

Luk 1:3  it seemed good to me as well, having followed up all these matters exactly from the beginning, to write to you an orderly account, most excellent Theophilos, 

Hence, John Mark and Luke wrote accounts heard from eyewitness of what Yahusha did and the events surrounding Yahusha while Matthew writes being one of the 12 talmidim (disciples) of Yahusha.

Coming back to Matthews account where he mentions 2 demon possessed men met him, he doesn't mention as to what happened to the 2 demon possessed men later, but both Mark and Luke mention other details

Mat 8:28  And when He came to the other side, to the country of the Girgashites, two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass that way. 

Mat 8:29  And see, they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, יהושע, Son of Elohim? Have You come here to torture us, before the appointed time?” 

Mat 8:30  And at a distance from them there was a herd of many pigs feeding, 

Mat 8:31  and the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, send us into the herd of pigs.” 

Mat 8:32  And He said to them, “Go.” And they, coming out, went into the herd of pigs. And see, the entire herd of pigs rushed down the steep place into the sea, and died in the water. 

Mark's account: Mark mentions that he who had been demon possessed begged Yahusha that he might be with Him but Yahusha tells him to Go home to his friends and report to them what the Adon has done for him. The demon possessed man left and proclaimed in Dekapolis all that Yahusha had done for him and all marveled at his testimony.

Mar 5:18  And as He was entering into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him. 

Mar 5:19  And יהושע did not allow him, but said to him, “Go home to your friends, and report to them what the Master has done for you, and how He had compassion on you.”

Mar 5:20  And he left and began to proclaim in Dekapolis all that יהושע had done for him, and all marvelled. 

Luke's account: Luke mentions that he who had been demon possessed begged Yahusha that he might be with Him but Yahusha tells him to Go home to his friends and report to them what Elohim has done for him and he went through all the city and testified about Yahusha.

Luk 8:38  And the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him to be with Him. But יהושע sent him away, saying, 

Luk 8:39  “Go back to your house, and relate what Elohim has done for you.” And he went away proclaiming through all the city what יהושע did for him. 

Matthew doesn't mention of the demon possessed man who was delivered as begging to follow Yahusha while Mark and Luke covers stating he did.

Mark gives us detail that there were 2,000 pigs whilst Matthew states 'herd of pigs' (Matt 8:30-31) and Luke states 'herd of many pigs' (Luke 8:32)

Mar 5:12  And all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the pigs, so that we enter into them.” 

Mar 5:13  And He gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered into the pigs – they were about two thousand – and the herd rushed down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea. 

Though Matthew was one of the 12 disciples, he chose not to mention how many pigs were there, while John Mark may have heard from the mouth of eye witnesses how many pigs were there and mentions the count of those that were drowned. Luke's account was an investigation from the eye witnesses and ministers of the dabar and only mentions 'herd of many pigs'

Why did Matthew not pen down the details covered by Mark and Luke?

The 4 basharah's are like the 4 faces of the kerubim who are around Yahuah, an imagery seen by Ezekiel. Yahuah is said to be dwelling between the kerubim. In Ezekiel's account he mentions 4 living creatures in the likeness of man (referring to Yahusha himself), they had 4 faces and 4 wings. Each of them had a face of a man (Son of man), face of a lion (Lion of Yahudah), face of an ox (treading the grain) and face of an eagle (Yahuah brought Yasharal unto Himself on eagles wings)

Eze 1:4 And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.

Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

Eze 1:6 And everyone had four faces, and everyone had four wings.

Eze 1:10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.

Matthew being one of the 12, was a minister to the Yahudim while John Mark and Luke to the Gentiles. Matthew's account is on the focus on Yahusha and his miracles to convince the Yahudim that He is the Messiah going beyond the boundary to save the lost sheep of the house of Yasharal where he mentions the country of the Girgashites, where Kenaanites lived were driven out by Yahuah to accommodate His people 

Mat 8:28  And when He came to the other side, to the country of the Girgashites (H1622), two demon-possessed ones met Him, coming out of the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass that way. 

Deu 7:1  “When יהוה your Elohim brings you into the land which you go to possess, He shall also clear away many nations before you: the Ḥittites and the Girgashites (H1622) and the Amorites and the Kenaʽanites and the Perizzites and the Ḥiwwites and the Yeḇusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you. 

Jos 3:10  And Yehoshua said, “By this you shall know that the living Ěl is in your midst, and that He is certainly driving out from before you the Kenaʽanites and the Ḥittites and the Ḥiwwites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites (H1622) and the Amorites and the Yeḇusites: 

Girgashites were the seed of Kenaan the son of  Ham who was the son of Noah. They were one of the 7 nations greater than Yasharal whom Yahuah would drive out to accommodate His people. Hence, Matthew uses one of the city name in the Decapolis who were looked down upon by the Yahudim because of their abominations as pig herding and pig meat eating as Torah forbids it.

John Mark and Luke focus was Yahusha coming into region of Gadara which was part of the tribe of Gad, now a Gentile territory to deliver His people in that region through the witness of a man from tribe of Gad who was delivered from demon possession, who went into the entire Decapolis area setting the ground for Yahusha, who after this incident was asked to leave their territory. If you notice, Mark and Luke write it as 'county of the Gadarenes' not the city itself while Matthew mentions 'region of Gergashites' and not the city of Gerasa itself.

Mar 5:1  And they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gaḏarenes.

Mar 5:20  And he left and began to proclaim in Dekapolis all that יהושע had done for him, and all marveled. 

Luk 8:26  And they sailed to the country of the Gaḏarenes, which is opposite Galil. 

The inheritance of the tribe of Gad:

The sea of Galil was termed as 'Sea of Kinnerth' 

Jos 13:24  And Mosheh gave to the tribe of Gaḏ, to the children of Gaḏ for their clans: 

Jos 13:25  and their border was Yaʽzĕr, and all the cities of Gilʽaḏ, and half the land of the children of Ammon as far as Aroʽĕr, which is before Rabbah, 

Jos 13:26  and from Ḥeshbon to Ramath Mitspeh and Betonim, and from Maḥanayim to the border of Deḇir, 

Jos 13:27  and in the valley Bĕyth Haram, and Bĕyth Nimrah, and Sukkoth, and Tsaphon, the rest of the reign of Siḥon sovereign of Ḥeshbon, the Yardĕn being its border, as far as the edge of the Sea of Kinnereth, beyond the Yardĕn eastward. 

Jos 13:28  This is the inheritance of the children of Gaḏ for their clans, the cities and their villages. 

Jos 13:29  And Mosheh gave to half the tribe of Menashsheh, and it was for half the tribe of the children of Menashsheh for their clans: 

Jos 13:30  and their border was from Maḥanayim, all Bashan, all the reign of Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, and all the small towns of Ya’ir which are in Bashan, sixty cities; 

Jos 13:31  and the half of Gilʽaḏ, and Ashtaroth and Eḏreʽi, cities of the reign of Oḡ in Bashan, were for the children of Maḵir son of Menashsheh, to the half of the children of Maḵir for their clans. 

Jos 13:32  These Mosheh gave as an inheritance in the desert plains of Mo’aḇ beyond the Yardĕn, by Yeriḥo eastward

Deu 3:16  “And to the Re’uḇĕnites and the Gaḏites I gave from Gilʽaḏ as far as the wadi Arnon, the middle of the wadi as the border, as far as the wadi Yabboq, the border of the children of Ammon, 

Deu 3:17  and the desert plain, with the Yardĕn as the border, from Kinnereth as far as the Sea of the Araḇah, the Salt Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah on the east. 

Gad held land from the bottom of the Sea of Galilee to almost the Northern tip of the Dead Sea. Some of their major cities included; Lo-Debar, Jabesh-Gilead, Peneul, Mahanaim which was a Levitical City (Josh. 21:7) and also the place where Yaaqob once was and had a vision.

Decapolis in Greek means 'ten cities' where deca means 10 and polis means cities. Decapolis was a region and not a city itself, but a territory of cities, one of which was Gadara known today as Umm Qais. The Decapolis was a group of ten cities (Abila, Damascus, Dion, Gerasa, Gadara, Hippos, Pella, Philadelphia, Raphana, Scythopolis)

 Have you considered that Torah forbids not only eating pig meat but also nourishing them? So what were pigs doing in this area? The mingling of the seed of Yasharal on the east side of the sea of Kinnereth/Galil with pagans was evident. Yahusha came for His lost sheep who were Torahless. In the parable of the Lost Son, we see the lost son amongst pigs and eating pigs food until he comes to his senses and comes back to his fathers house. The prodigal son parable is figurative of the lost sheep of the house of Yasharal among pagan nations and peoples, and are Torahless.

 We need to still solve the mystery whether there were two demon possessed men or just one?

Matthew being an eye witness to the account mentions 2 demon possessed men, but its evident that one of them was prominent, as in him was the legion of devils and since Mark and Luke were second witnesses of this account, the eye witnesses of the account remembered the most prominent one out of the two who told Yahusha that he wants to follow him, while the other one though delivered was less prominent.

A simple analogy to this could be as follows: 

Say when you get back home, your wife tells you that your son told her that Nick your friend came to see you whilst me & you were away at work. And when you go into your bedroom your son says Nick and his son Willy came to see us. Will you say your wife lied to you? No, she didn't, coz your son only gave her information related to your friend Nick and she narrated it just as is based on her being the second witness. While your son who is also friend of Willy, Nick's son gave you the additional information being the actual eye witness.

Similarly, Mark and Luke based on their investigation and being a second witness only witnessed of the most prominent demon possessed man as told to them by the eye witness. But Matthew was there and was the first witness so he tells us there were two demon possessed men.

The storm in the sea of Galil:

Yahusha was in Kephar Nahum and healed a servant of a Centurion by His word

Mat 8:5  And when יהושע had entered Kephar Naḥum, a captain came to Him, appealing to Him, 

Mat 8:6  saying, “Master, my servant is lying in the house paralysed, grievously tortured.” 

And he asked his disciples that they go along with him to the other side of Sea of Galil/Kinnereth

Mat 8:18  And when יהושע saw large crowds about Him, He gave a command to go off to the other side. 

Mat 8:23  And when He entered into a ship, His taught ones followed Him. 

Mat 8:24  And see, a great gale arose on the sea, so that the ship was covered by the waves. But He was sleeping. 

Mat 8:25  And His taught ones came to Him and woke Him up, saying, “Master, save us! We are perishing!” 

Mat 8:26  And He said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little belief?” Then, having risen, He rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm. 

Mat 8:27  And the men marvelled, saying, “What is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” 

While many translations translate the word here as boat, it is evident this couldn't be a small boat. How can one be sleeping in a small boat and be asleep when the waves and water coming into it.  It has to be a ship, just as Yonah was asleep when the storm came in the ship.

The Greek word used for boat is ploiarion G4142 oat, little (small) ship but the translators who copied over from Hebrew correctly translated it as ship as the Greek word there is G4143 ploion which means a sailer, that is, vessel: - ship (-ping).

The Hebrew translations uses the word Oniyah H591

Jon 1:3  But Yonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of יהוה, and went down to Yapho, and found a ship/H591 oniyah going to Tarshish. And he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of יהוה.

No storm could stop Yahusha going to the other side to save His people. He crossed over to save His people. 

Healing a deaf man & feeding of the four thousand:

Mar 7:31  And again, going out from the borders of Tsor and Tsiḏon, He came to the Sea of Galil, through the midst of the borders of Dekapolis. 

Mar 7:32  And they brought to Him one who was deaf and spoke with difficulty, and they begged Him to lay His hand upon him. 

Mar 7:33  And taking him away from the crowd, He put His fingers in his ears, and having spit, He touched his tongue. 

Mar 7:34  And looking up to the heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 

Mar 7:35  And immediately his ears were opened, and the binding of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plainly. 

While Yahusha was driven away after the deliverance of the two demon possessed men. The most prominent one who was sent to his home would have made many converts as Yahusha comes back here for a second time and heals a deaf man as the people now there accept Him and publish about Him in the entire region.

Mar 7:36  And He ordered them, that they should say it to no one, but the more He ordered them, the more they published it. 

Mar 7:37  And they were immeasurably astonished, saying, “He has done all well. He makes even the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak.” 

It was in this place when the people were with him for 3 days, Yahusha feeds them with seven loaves & few fishes and they picked up seven large baskets of broken pieces.

Mar 8:1  In those days, the crowd being very great and not having any to eat, יהושע called His taught ones near and said to them, 

Mar 8:2  “I have compassion on the crowd, for they have now been with Me three days and do not have food to eat. 

Mar 8:3  “And if I dismiss them unfed to their home, they shall faint on the way, for some of them have come from far.” 

Mar 8:4  And His taught ones answered Him, “How shall anyone be able to feed these people with bread here in the desert?” 

Mar 8:5  And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” 

Mar 8:6  And He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His taught ones to set before them. And they set them before the crowd. 

Mar 8:7  And they had a few small fishes. And having blessed, He said to set them also before them. 

Mar 8:8  And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven large baskets of broken pieces. 

Mar 8:9  And those eating were about four thousand, and He dismissed them. 

Mar 8:10  And immediately entering into the ship with His taught ones, He came to the parts of Dalmanutha/Magdala

Mat 15:37  And all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces – seven large baskets, filled. 

Mat 15:38  And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 

Mat 15:39  And dismissing the crowd, He went into the boat, and came to the borders of Maḡdala. 

Magdala was to the west of the sea of Galil/Kinnereth where Matthew records as Magdala and Mark records it as Dalmanutha

Luk 8:40  And it came to be, when יהושע returned, that the crowd gladly received Him, for they were all looking for Him. 

Luke doesn't record the name of the place but states 'when Yahusha returned' which is clear that he came back to the west side of sea of Galil.

What is the significance of feeding the 4,000 with 7 loaves & few small fish?

Many people point our errors in scripture stating that in one place its written Yahusha fed 5000 with five loaves and 2 fish and the left overs were carried in 12 baskets.

Luk 9:10  And the emissaries, when they had returned, related to Him all that they had done. And He took them and they withdrew by themselves to a city called Bĕyth Tsaiḏa. 

Luk 9:14  For there were about five thousand men. And He said to His taught ones, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 

Luk 9:15  And they did so, and made them all sit down. 

Luk 9:16  And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the taught ones to set before the crowd. 

Luk 9:17  So they all ate and were satisfied, and twelve baskets of the broken pieces were picked up by them.

These were similar like accounts but 2 different miracles done by Yahusha and have a deep spiritual significance.

Beyth Tsaida:

Beyth Tsaida was the city where Kepha, Andri and Phillip lived. Et-Tel, the mound identified as ancient Bethsaida, is located on a basaltic spur north of the Sea of Galilee, near the inflow of the Yarden River into the Sea of Galilee and was a Jewish village.

Joh 1:43  On the following day יהושע wished to go to Galil, and He found Philip and said to him, “Follow Me.” 

Joh 1:44  And Philip was from Bĕyth Tsaiḏa, the city of Andri and Kĕpha. 

It was here Yahusha fed the 5000 men (women and children not counted) with five loaves and 2 fish multiplied and left pieces were carried in 12 baskets. The five loaves are spiritually significant of 5 books of Torah and the two fish are significant of the two fold witness in Torah and prophets. The twelve baskets where the left overs were carried were significant of the 12 tribes of Yasharal. The 5000 is 5 x 1000 where 1000 is completeness of the number 5 which are the 5 books of Torah fed by the Torah of life Himself i.e. Yahusha.

These two instances were separate instances. We see further evidence when Yahusha got back to Magdala/Dalmanutha he was confronted by the Pharisees who were asking him for a sign.

Just after this Yahusha told his disciples to be careful of the leaven of the scribes and the Pharisees and his disciples thought its because they had taken no bread and just had one loaf. And here Yahusha rebukes them by reminding them of the 2 different feeding of the people.

Mar 8:14  And they had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. 

Mar 8:15  And He was warning them, saying, “Mind! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herodes.” 

Mar 8:16  And they were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no bread.” 

Mar 8:17  And יהושע, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? 

Mar 8:18  “Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 

Mar 8:19  “When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets filled with broken pieces did you pick up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.” 

Mar 8:20  “And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets filled with broken pieces did you pick up?” And they said, “Seven.” 

Mar 8:21  And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”

And the key verse is verse 18 and verse 21, marked in bold above. The disciples didn't understand the significance of the 2 miracles. While we have seen and understood the feeding of the 5,000 with 5 loaves lets understand the feeding of the 4000 with 7 loaves and left overs carried in 7 baskets.

The number 4 in scripture is H702 arbah which is significant spiritually of the 4 directions north, south, east and west where Yasharal was driven to the four corners of the earth, now gathered in Mashiyach. The number 1000 stands for completeness, indicating the entire remnant of the dispersed among the Gentiles will be brought back. The 7 loaves by which they were fed and the 7 baskets of fragments left over which were carried is significant of bringing the Gentiles (lost sheep of the house of Yasharal) into his Shemittah cycle of 7 where number 7 speaks of the rest in Mashiyach. 6 years of sowing and 7th year a Shabbath year where everyone eats of what grows of itself and 7 x 7 + 1 is a jubilee which is a year of release where lands on lease or sold goes back to the owner of the land, servants/slaves are set free to go back to their family.

What is interesting to see from this account is with the 7 loaves Yahusha multipled and 7 baskets of fragments were carried and out of the left overs Yahusha's disciples carried only 1 loaf. This cannot be coincidence, can it? While we don't know in both the accounts what was done with the left overs, this one loaf of left over is significant of multiplying 7 x 7 = 49 and +1 which they carried which speak of the jubilee.

Mar 8:14  And they had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the ship. 

In one of my studies I touched based on the 120 jubilee years based on Gen 6:3 where 120 years is not a literal life span of man post the flood as we seen even the fathers post the flood lived more than 120 years. 

 Gen 6: 3  And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever for he is flesh/ bashar gone astray/shagag, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

You may read the study here:

The message to the 7 assemblies, Yahusha among the 7 lampstands, 7 days of creation, 7th day rest etc. was all woven in scripture with a promise made to Abraham that in His SEED i.e. Mashiyach will the Gentiles be blessed

Gen 22:17  that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies. 

Gen 22:18  “And in your seed all the GENTILES of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” 

Gal 3:16  But the promises were spoken to Aḇraham, and to his Seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Messiah. 

The Gentiles are woven into bringing them back into His rest as seen in the Shemittah cycle. And the multiple of the Shemittah cycles make a jubilee (7 x 7 +1 =50). And thus they are woven back into the 12 tribes as 120 jubilee years is 12 tribes x 10 their complete number.

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. 

Lev 25:9  ‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn to pass through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement cause a ram’s horn to pass through all your land. 

Lev 25:10  ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan. 

Lev 25:11  ‘The fiftieth year is a Jubilee to you. Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from its unpruned vine. 

The 120 years is accounted from Adam where each day doesn't stand for a 1000 years but the 6000 years (120 x 50) to a release of the erring flesh (bashar shagam) as stated in Gen 6:3.

Lastly the feeding of the 4000 in the Decapolis brought forth seven baskets of left overs showing that Yahuah calls the Gentiles who are Yasharal in dispersion back into the inheritance when He drove out 7 nations to give them their inheritance i.e Kenanites, Hittites, Hiwwites, Prizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Yebusites, seven nations stronger than them.

Jos 3:10  And Yehoshua said, “By this you shall know that the living Ěl is in your midst, and that He is certainly driving out from before you the Kenaʽanites and the Ḥittites and the Ḥiwwites and the Perizzites and Girgashites and the Amorites and the Yeḇusites: 

The 120 years span

 Gen 6: 3  And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever for he is flesh/ bashar gone astray/shagag, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

Many people reading this scripture take it at face value stating man's age post the flood was limited to 120 years but we must look into scriptures to find out whether this is true.

This we can do when we look at the ages of the father's who lived post the flood

Gen 9:29 And all the days of Noach were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

Gen 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begat את eth-Arpakshad two years after the flood:

Gen 11:11 And Shem lived after he begat את eth-Arpakshad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:12 And Arpakshad lived five and thirty years, and begat את eth-Shelach:

Gen 11:13 And Arpakshad lived after he begat את eth-Shelach four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:14 And Shelach lived thirty years, and begat את eth-Eber:

Gen 11:15 And Shelach lived after he begat את eth-Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat את eth-Peleg:

Gen 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat את eth-Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Re`u:

Gen 11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat את eth-Re`u two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:20 And Re`u lived two and thirty years, and begat את eth-Serug:

Gen 11:21 And Re`u lived after he begat את eth-Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat את eth-Nachor:

Gen 11:23 And Serug lived after he begat את eth-Nachor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:24 And Nachor lived nine and twenty years, and begat את eth-Terach:

Gen 11:25 And Nachor lived after he begat את eth-Terach a hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.

Gen 11:26 And Terach lived seventy years, and begat את eth-Avram, את eth-Nachor, and את eth-Haran.

Gen 11:27 Now these are the generations of Terach: Terach begat את eth-Avram, את eth-Nachor, and את eth-Haran; and Haran begat את eth-Lot.

Gen 11:28 And Haran died before his father Terach in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Kasdiym.

Gen 11:29 And Avram and Nachor took them women: the name of Avram’s woman was Sarai; and the name of Nachor's woman, Milkah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milkah, and the father of Yickah.

Gen 11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

Gen 25:7 And these are all the years of Aḇraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.

Gen 11:31 And Terach took את eth-Avram his son, and את  eth-Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and את eth-Sarai his daughter in law, his son Avram’s woman; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Kasdiym, to go into the land of Kena`an; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.

Gen 11:32 And the days of Terach were two hundred and five years: and Terach died in Haran.

All these father's lived post the flood and they lived more than 120 years. Some read into the text stating that the ages were in a declining mode and it took time until man was finally living for not more than 120 years

Gen 23:1 AND Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.

Gen 35:28  And the days of Yitsḥaq were one hundred and eighty years. 

Gen 47:28  And Yaʽaqoḇ lived in the land of Mitsrayim seventeen years. So the length of Yaʽaqoḇ’s life was one hundred and forty-seven years.

Psalms 90 is a prayer of Masha the servant of Yahuah and he says the days of our lives are 70 years and if due to strength 80 years and yet he lived up to 120 years which we will see in a bit.

Psalms 90:10 The days of our lives are seventy years; Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet the best of them is but toil and exertion; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Hence, the 120 years mentioned in Gen 6:3 has to have a meaningful disposition

Let's begin by seeing Adam's age. Adam lived 930 years and he died

Genesis 5:5 reads, “And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

We know when Adam was in the garden of Eden, Yahuah told him that in the day he would eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he would surely die. Did Adam die the same day he ate from the tree? No, he didn't, as we have scripture recording, he lived up to 930 years and he died.

Hence, the day that he would die in Gen 2:17 is 1000 years short which none of the father's lived up to.

For even Methuselah the longest one to live was 969 years

Gen 5:27 So all the days of Methushelaḥ were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died. 

None of the father's attained 1000 years or One day as per Yahuah s measure as stated in 2Pet3:8

1000 years as One Day and One Day as 1000 years

2Pe 3:8  But, beloved ones, let not this one matter be hidden from you: that with יהוה one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 

It is interesting to see that the first man Yahuah created was nameless as Adam is not a name

Gen 5:1  This is the book of the genealogy of Aḏam. In the day that Elohim created man, He made him in the likeness of Elohim. 

Gen 5:2  Male and female He created them, and He blessed them, and called their name ‘Aḏam’ in the day they were created. 

Eve/Chauah was the first one to be named and she became the mother of all living and she represents Yerushalayim whose children were subjected to bondage which the last Adam i.e. Mashiyach who was named as Yahusha which means Yahuah is Salvation, who would deliver her seed from bondage of corruption

Gen 3:20 And A’dam called his woman’s name Chuah; because she was the mother of all living.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your man, and he shall rule over you.

When we come back to read Gen 6:3 we see the nameless man representing his kind mentioned

Genesis 6:3 the word ‘man’ is from the Hebrew adam (H120 in the Strongs). So the verse is more likely referring to Adam since all mankind originated from him.

Gen 6:3 And YAHUAH said, My RUACH shall not always strive with man/adam H120, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.

The nameless race will receive an inheritance and name given by Yahusha ha Mashiyach Himself i.e. His renewed name.

Rev 2:17 He that has an ear, let him hear את eth what the RUACH says unto the called out assemblies; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it.

Rev 3:12  “He who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of My Elohim, and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim, the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from My Elohim, and My renewed Name. 

Rev 3:13  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies.”

Gen 6:3 The bashar gone astray/shagag:

Most translations omit the words 'flesh gone astray' which in Hebrew mentioned is 'bashar shagam'

 Gen 6: 3  And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive/plead with man forever for he is flesh/ bashar gone astray/shagam, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

And the word 'bashar' H1319 which also means 'Good news' is corrupted by the erring flesh/bashar shagam of man

The 120 years mystery:

The pattern inbuilt is 6 days creation and 7th day when Yahuah rested

We also see in the Shemittah cycle 6 years of sowing and 7th year a Shabbath rest for the land, where each one eats of what grows of itself

Lev 25 six years sowing and reaping and 7th year a year when the land rests in its Shabbath

Lev 25:1  And יהוה spoke to Mosheh on Mount Sinai, saying, 

Lev 25:2  “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall observe a Sabbath to יהוה. 

Lev 25:3  ‘Six years you sow your field, and six years you prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruit, 

Lev 25:4  but in the seventh year the land is to have a Sabbath of rest, a Sabbath to יהוה. Do not sow your field and do not prune your vineyard. 

And the 7 x 7 +1 is the yobel/Jubilee in which the land rests 8 times i.e. each 7th year and then the 50th years. The significance of Yahuah's rest on 7th day is eternal as it goes on to the 8th day where number eight in Hebrew is 'shamanah/shamunah' H8083 which has a root word in it i.e. shemen which means oil

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. 

Lev 25:9  ‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn to pass through on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the Day of Atonement cause a ram’s horn to pass through all your land. 

Lev 25:10  ‘And you shall set the fiftieth year apart, and proclaim release throughout all the land to all its inhabitants, it is a Jubilee for you. And each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you return to his clan. 

Lev 25:11  ‘The fiftieth year is a Jubilee to you. Do not sow, nor reap what grows of its own, nor gather from its unpruned vine. 

The 120 years is accounted from Adam where each day doesn't stand for a 1000 years but the 6000 years (120 (jubilee's) x 50) to a release of the erring flesh (bashar shagam)

In Isaiah 61:1 & 2 and in Luke 4:18 & 19, we hear the voice of Yahusha declaring liberty from debt, referring to the price of death we must pay for our sins. He took on our burden and paid our debts on our behalf. Shemitah means ‘to release.’

This release was prophesied by Masha the servant of Yahuah at the appointed time and this became a norm in Yasharal where the entire Torah was read on every 7th i.e. Shabbath year during the Feast of Tabernacles

Deu 31:9  And Mosheh wrote this Torah and gave it to the priests, the sons of Lĕwi, who bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה, and to all the elders of Yisra’ĕl. 

Deu 31:10  And Mosheh commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, at the appointed time, the year of release/shemittah H8059, at the Festival of Booths, 

Deu 31:11  when all Yisra’ĕl comes to appear before יהוה your Elohim in the place which He chooses, read this Torah before all Yisra’ĕl in their hearing. 

Hence, the completion of Torah was prophesied on a Shabbath year which is the year of release/shemittah.

The debt paid for the erring flesh to be transformed into His image and likeness would happen at the end of these 120 years of jubilee's

120 years of  Yobel's (120 x 50), equals 6,000 years, and from the birth of Adam to the death of Messiah is 4,000 years, as Scriptures record  "who begot who and what year"

"Destroy this Temple, and on the third day I will raise it up again." -YaHusha/ יהושע

So when Yahusha stood it was 4000 years from Adam

Hence, the 3 days is 3 x 1000 when the Tabernacle will descend from heaven in the Master Himself..the New Yerushalayim

Hoshea also says about return of lost sheep of Yasharal, after 2 days he will revive us and the third day we will live in His sight.

Hoshea 6:1 Come and let us turn back to יהוה. For He has torn but He does heal us, He has stricken but He binds us up. 

Hoshea 6:2 After two days He shall revive us, on the third day He shall raise us up, so that we live before Him.

The revival of lost sheep of Yasharal came after 2 days from Mashiyach...in the 6000th year where the parables Yahusha speaks of the last shall be first. And the last hour when he would call the laborers in His vineyard. And the third year is the 7000th year when we will live before Him. i.e. The moment we cross 6000 we enter the Shabbath.

The number 12 is number for his elect i.e., the 12 tribes.

Number 100 as Yahusha said he would leave the 99 sheep and go after the one gone astray.

The last 1000 years which is the 7000th year is of eternal rest in Mashyach which Adam 930 years fell short of and so did his race fell short of.

Yahusha came in the likeness of sinful flesh but without sin as His body was not from adamah/ground where Adam was driven out to.

Gen 3:23  so יהוה Elohim sent him out of the garden of Ěḏen to till the ground/adamah H127 from which he was taken.

Below is the list of genealogy accounting to 4000 years from Adam to Mashiyach:

Masha's/Moses 120 years:

Deut 34:4  And יהוה said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Aḇraham, to Yitsḥaq, and to Yaʽaqoḇ, saying, ‘To your seed I give it.’ I have let you look at it with your eyes, but you do not pass over there.” 

5 And Mosheh the servant of יהוה died there in the land of Mo’aḇ, according to the mouth of יהוה. Yahuah

6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Mo’aḇ, opposite Bĕyth Peʽor, and no one knows his burial-place to this day. 

7 And Mosheh was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his freshness gone.

Masha lived a 120 years and his eyes were not dim nor his freshness gone, yet because he didn't give the Rock the honor but struck it repeatedly ,Yahuah showed him all the promised land and said he won't cross over.

What is interesting to see that he was 120 years old when he was put to sleep.

We can see this in the light of Gen 6:3 of the 120 jubilees which is 120 x 50 = 6000 years i.e. to the end of the age and the Second coming of Mashiyach who is the Rock that followed Yasharal.

Numbers 20:8 “Take the rod and assemble the congregation, you and your brother Aharon. And you shall speak to the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water. And you shall bring water for them out of the rock and give drink to the congregation and their livestock.”

 9 And Mosheh took the rod from before יהוה as He commanded him. 

10 And Mosheh and Aharon assembled the assembly before the rock. And he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels, shall we bring water for you out of this rock?” 

11 Then Mosheh lifted his hand and struck the rock repeatedly/pamah H6471 with his rod. And much water came out, and the congregation and their livestock drank. 

12 But יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, “Because you did not believe Me, to set Me apart in the eyes of the children of Yisra’ĕl, therefore you do not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” 

13 These were the waters of Meriḇah, because the children of Yisra’ĕl contended with יהוה, and He was set apart among them.

Moses was told to speak to the Rock, but he struck the Rock repeatedly/pamah. The Hebrew word pamah is like the wheel which repeatedly rotates.

The Abary word for Rock here is Sala which means to exalt/lift up H5553 and the word sal H5536 is the root word which means basket. 

It's a root word in the word Selah which is a pause to lift up Yahuah in the Psalms. Selah H5542 means to lift up and exalt.

Moses was to lift up the Rock in the eyes of Yasharal by speaking to it but instead he struck it repeatedly.

Psalms 18: 1 I love You, O יהוה, My strength.

 2  יהוה is my rock/sala H5553 and my stronghold and my deliverer; My Ěl is my rock, I take refuge in Him; My shield and the horn of my deliverance, my high tower.

Psalms 31:1  In You, O יהוה, I have taken refuge; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.

 2  Incline Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be a rock of refuge to me, A house of defence to save me.

 3  For You are my rock/sala H5553 and my stronghold; For Your Name’s sake lead me and guide me.

Yahuah is said to be the high and lifted up Sala/Rock and striking Him repeatedly/pamah H6471 Moses couldn't cross over.

Pamah H6471 means striking once, twice, thrice...a repetition.

Moses represented the Torah as the Torah was given through him John 1:17

The rod/mattah of Moses was the same rod which later was placed in the ark of the Covenant, the rod that budded almonds.

The same rod which Daud hundreds of years later hid on the mount of Olives which grew to be an almond tree on which Yahusha was impaled.

This striking with the rod/mattah repeatedly did cause the water to gush forth from the Rock/sala as both the Rod and the Rock represented Mashiyach being humiliated from his exalted position in Torah as the fountain of life.

The same rod was lifted in Mitsrayim in exalting Yahuah through divers signs and wonders and also in the wilderness as the Rod who led them.

Now here was Moses to whom Yahuah showed all the promised land from the peak of Mount Nebo in the land of Moab, the place which was beyond the Yarden which was given to . The word Nebo H5015 means prophet. And where was he buried? In the valley of Moab.

Numbers 21:25 And Yisra’ĕl took all these cities, and Yisra’ĕl dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites – in Ḥeshbon and in all its villages,

 26  for Ḥeshbon was the city of Siḥon the sovereign of the Amorites, who had fought against the former sovereign of Mo’aḇ, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

This land was given to Tribe of Reuben (See a Son), Reuben who was the first born son of Yaaqob and his birthright was given to Yahusaph/Yoseph whose off shoots would climb over this wall back to his inheritance. Yoseph received a double portion and represents Yasharal in Mitsrayim the city where Mashiyach was impaled was spiritually called Mitsrayim Rev 11:8

Numbers 32: 37  And the children of Re’uḇĕn built Ḥeshbon and Elʽalĕh and Qiryathayim,

It was also given to the tribe of Gad

1Chr 6:80  And from the tribe of Gaḏ: Ramoth in Gilʽaḏ with its open lands, and Maḥanayim with its open lands, 81  and Ḥeshbon with its open lands, and Yaʽzĕr with its open lands.

Deut 34: 6  And He buried him in a valley/gay H1516 in the land of Mo’aḇ, opposite Bĕyth Peʽor, and no one knows his burial-place to this day.

This same word spelled as gay also means Gentiles

The root words gev H1460 means the back, H1465 also means the back, H1466 guah which means pride or lifted up. All same words as gay/goe H1471 which means nations/Gentiles.

How old was Moses when he died ?120 years and yet his eyes were not dim and neither was he faint which is an indication that the remnant journey through the 120 Jubilee's through the humiliation in being dispersed as nations/Gentiles who see the Promised land far off just as Moses saw and died in the valley of Moab. 

Moab H4124 means 'of his father'.

Ruth was called Moabitess by geographic location as she belonged to the tribe of Reuben who by marrying an Eprathite and on his death she later married Boaz the Yahudite. 

Ruth crossed over to the tribe of Yahudah, the tribe our Master sprang from.

The gay/Gentiles of their father/Moab in prophecy/naba or Nebo/prophet see the Promised land to be attained after this 120 years of Jubilee s through Torah of sin and death to the Torah of life in Mashiyach.

While Adam to Mashiyach was 4000 years were 80 jubilees, we are unable to count from Mashiyach to his return as the enemy has changed times and seasons as prophesied by Daniel.

Dan 7:25 and it speaks words against the Most High, and it wears out the set-apart ones of the Most High, and it intends to change appointed times and law, and they are given into its hand for a time and times and half a time.

The word for appointed times is the same word muaed which is for feasts. While Daniel 2 to 7 we have in Aramaic as the Hebrew books were lost, we can see this in Daniel 12 which the Hebrew manuscript is available.

Dan 12:7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, and he held up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it would be for an appointed time, appointed times, and half a time. And when they have ended scattering the power of the set-apart people, then all these shall be completed. 

Please look up the word H4150 it’s muaed which is the same word for feasts. In Daniel 7:25 it’s saying the elect are given into the enemy’s hand for muaed, muaedim and khatsay. The Shemitah (7-year cycles) is in view here with its Sabbaths, feasts, tithes, year of liberty is spoken of which come to an end with no insight of the appointment to meet the bridegroom. The word khatsay translated as dividing of time shows it’s for a time until there will be complete apostasy. The same verse when Yahuchanan sees the vision of the same man who is Yahusha, He swears that there is Time no longer. 

Rev 10:5 And the messenger whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the heaven, 

Rev 10:6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, (Dan 12:7) who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there shall be no time no longer. 

This is an indication that the bridegroom is no longer within the temple/ assembly, but He is guarding the Shemitah for us as Yahuchanan saw Him in the midst of the 7 golden lamp stands. He is counting the time of appointment for us. Once we realize this, the waiting/tarrying is exciting and when we look back, it’s like while we thought that the enemy had us in bondage of not knowing the time of the appointment as everything ceased and is still continued physically, those occupied in the carnal feast observing are actually in ha shatan’s hands, while we elect are in a waiting period for the bridegroom.
