The First fruits Altar vs the Secondary Altar

Mashpacha! The book of Romans, Galatians & Hebrews was specifically written to the Yahudites who turned to Yahusha ha Mashiyach and were in a transition. In their earlier days of transition, they kept the Torah as in the carnal letter + belief in Mashiyach. This ignorance is also seen in the emissaries who were from the same lot of transition, and they all continued in the emissaries' doctrines and in prayer. Hence, Acts of the apostles is a book of transition, showing the early journey and the sad part is today many turning to Mashiyach would formulate and back up their doctrines as Carnal Torah observance & de-meaning Yahusha ha Mashiyach without realizing that they were all in a progression of belief. It all didn't come to them in a day, it was a slow progression/transition to the new creation order. Hence, the book of Romans, Galatians and Hebrews were written specifically to show the transition to the new creation order in Mashiyach Yahusha and reveals the true identity of Yahusha as Yahuah Himself whilst what is left behind in the transition becomes SECONDARY. While I have provided enough evidence on the Divinity of Yahusha and that He is Yahuah Himself, in this note I will make a short presentation of what the transition completion shows us when we look behind.

Let's begin by examining a few verses from the book of Hebrews which takes us to the place of the Summit where the mikphad altar was where the yearly Yom Kippur sacrifice was done of a Red Heifer. This was the very place on Mount of Olives where also our ADON was impaled where we are called to go out to.

KJV version translation:

9

Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 

Heb 13:10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.

Hebrew translation:

Heb13:8 `Yahusha the Mashiyach is surely/ כנ kan H3651 as that He is before time/ethmol אתמול H865,

Heb 13:9 Be not carried by the serpent / תנועו tanuau H8577 in the Torah/toroth of secondary/ שנות  shonoth H8145 which is foreign/ זרות zaroth . For it is a good thing that our hearts to be established with favor, not by words/dabarym of meats/makal, which have not profited those that have been occupied with them.

tanniym H8577 is dragon, sea serpent or whale. From tan H8565 which means a sea monster/sea serpent/jackal/dragon. Hence, when it says "be not carried away'' as the English translation says, it actually means not to be carried away by the 'beastly predator'

The Torah of secondary which is foreign would easily be interpreted in isolation of the text as 'an addition to the Torah of Moshe' but verse 9 is tied to verse 10 as its associated with partaking of the altar. Moreover, the last part of verse 9 says 'For it is a good thing that our hearts to be established with favor, not by words/dabarym of meats/makal, which have not profited those that have been occupied with them.' The words of meats not profiting those occupied with them is the 'carnal torah of sin and death' which came with the physical elements which held in them a significance of a fulfillment (which the verse 9 says 'it is a good thing our hearts to be established by favor/grace'). Hence, what has been left behind is the secondary Torah which is foreign/alien in nature as Yahuah is no longer in it and those occupied in it do not have the first fruits right/rashuth to partake of the altar which is referring to the stake where Yahusha died, the place we are called out to.

Heb 13:10 We have an altar which they do not have first fruits right/rashuth given to my servants of the tabernacle to eat over it. 

The first right to the only altar is given to His servants and not to them occupied to the words of meats and now in the secondary.

Heb13:11 For the bodies of beasts, whose blood were brought in the sanctuary to the atonement of sin by the hand of the high priest, are burned outside the camp.

Heb13:12 For this, Yahusha also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate.  

Heb13:13 Let us therefore go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

Shir Hama'aloth (שיר המעלות )

There are 15 Psalms 120 to 134 which are song of ascents.

What is an ascent?

H4609 is an invisible stair ascending to the heavenly leading one into the depths of the shamayim in the Ruach.

Exo 20:24 ‘Make a slaughter-place of earth for Me, and you shall slaughter on it your ascending offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause My Name to be remembered I shall come to you and bless you.

Exo 20:25 ‘And if you make Me a slaughter-place of stone, do not build it of cut stone, for if you use your chisel on it, you have profaned it.

Exo 20:26 ‘Nor do you go up by steps to My slaughter-place, lest your nakedness be exposed on it.’

After giving the Covenant laws which were the only laws ratified by a covenant meal recorded in Exo 24 we have Exodus mentioning that the altar should be made of earth and if it’s made of stone, it should be not made of cut stone for no chisel or iron tool should be used to shape it

Deu 27:5 and build a slaughter-place to יהוה your Elohim there, a slaughter-place of stones – do not use an iron tool on them.

Deu 27:6 “Build the slaughter-place of יהוה your Elohim with complete stones, and you shall offer ascending offerings on it to יהוה your Elohim,

The slaughter place/altar was to be of earth or mud or stones and if stones it should be uncut stones.

This all changed later as the altars post the golden calf incident was brazen and overlaid with gold. There was no earthiness left in them

The Torah is also silent of steps to the altar which Ezekiel mentions.

Ezk 43:16 “And the slaughter-place hearth is twelve cubits long, and twelve wide, square at its four corners.

Ezk 43:17 “And the ledge is fourteen long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it, and its base one cubit all around, and its steps/ ha maloth H4609 face east.”

Exo 28:42 “And make linen trousers for them, to cover their nakedness, reaching from the waist to the thighs.

Exo 28:43 “And they shall be on Aharon and on his sons when they come into the Tent of Appointment, or when they come near the slaughter-place to attend in the Set-apart Place, so that they do not bear crookedness and die – a law forever to him, and to his seed after him.

For this reason, the sons of Aharon were made linen trousers from their waist to their thighs to cover their nakedness when they climb the stairs to offer the sacrifices.

Shir hamaloth are songs of ascent in Yahusha ha Mashiyach as He went up to the stake of wood rooted in the earth. The proof of the text lies in the undergarment which He wore to the stake which they stripped Him off but didn’t tear it but cast lots for it.

Jhn 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had impaled יהושע, took His outer garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and the inner garment. But the inner garment was without seam, woven from the top in one piece.

Jhn 19:24 So they said to each other, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it – whose it shall be,” in order that the Scripture might be filled which says, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” Psa 22:18 The soldiers therefore indeed did this.

He was lifted up in nakedness (in a sense of no priestly under garment when going up to the altar) unto death.

This is evidence that the Levitical priesthood which represented the people in the guilt offering could actually never represent the people for Exo 28:43 is crystal clear as it says “…so that they do not bear crookedness and die a law forever to him and to his seed after him.”

Only Yahusha could bear the crookedness of His people in His nakedness of being stripped of the linen trousers which the soldiers took off and cast lots for.

Ezekiel 43:17 records the steps /ha maloth faced east. East is associated to Mashiyach.

It’s associated to the Mount of Olives where the mikhpad altar was which was made of stones and earth on which the yearly red heifer was sacrificed on the Day of Atonement/ Yom Kippur.

Ezk 11:23 And the esteem of יהוה went up from the midst of the city and stood upon the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.

This is where the earthiness and humanity of Mashiyach grounded can be seen as He ascends to the ascents/ ha maloth and we ascend in Him to bear His reproach

Heb 13:12 And so יהושע also suffered outside the gate, to set apart the people with His own blood.

Heb 13:13 Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

Jhn 1:51 And He said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, from now on you shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of Elohim ascending and descending upon the Son of Aḏam.

He is the very stairs Yaaqob saw in His dream and Yahuah at the top of the ladder and Yahusha in his humanity at the bottom of the ladder. Yahuah manifested in the flesh.

The Transitioning into Mashiyach- The DAY of Yahuah

Shabbath is not just a day, it’s a day of rest as entering the Day of Yahuah.

This scripture is right before our eyes and sometimes we miss it:

Rev 1:10 I came to be in the RUACH on the Day of יהוה, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet.

Yahuchanan was spiritually taken into the Day of Yahuah where he saw the Chazun of Yahusha in an imagery as it was signified by a Messenger.

Gen 15:18 On the same/ H1931 haya day יהוה made a covenant with Aḇram, saying, “I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Mitsrayim to the great river, the River Euphrates,

The word translated as haya or hua is actually translated as Himself with an emphasis on HE
Because it sounds absurd as ‘Himself Day’ they translated it as same day.

The preceding verses, how Yahuah put Abraham to a deep sleep/tardamah and passed the smoking oven fire through the animal pieces to show He will eventually save Abrahams seed through taking them through the school master of animal sacrifices and He himself will monitor them to transition them into Himself as He would be that ultimate sacrifice, on that Day ie. The Day of Yahuah,

He in Himself /haya or hua made the covenant with Abraham.

1Th 5:4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

In the carnal Torah Yahuah tied everything to a physical Shemitah of the land which included His Shabbats, His feasts, His Torah of physical observances in objective observation of it as a sign to make the remnant pass through with Him in the fire to a transition beyond the physical to the Ruach. Hence, it was necessary to first bring the seed into captivity of nations where everything would cease from an objective observation and transition to Mashiyach the goal, the true Shabbat, the fulfilment of the feasts and who Himself represents the Yasharal of Aluahym as the sun moon and stars which never dim out in Him while the physical he will roll the sky as a scroll and as a mantle He will fold them up.

Pslams 19:

Day unto Day prophesy saying/amar
The Hebrew renders as “yom la yom naba amar “
The Day /physical leads /la to Day the Ruach in prophecy uttered.
Night/ laylah physical leads/la laylah ya chuah/ in life daath/knowledge.

See the transition through the Ruach of prophecy in progression from Physical to Ruach
He is the Day, there is no Night in Him. The Night is for a purpose as without darkness, the Light is not realized. For unto Him even the Night is Light it says. These are hard things to understand but we must come a long way through the fire between the pieces of animal sacrifices to the One true sacrifice and Atonement of Yahusha alone who is the destination.

In addition to this let's see Gen 2:4 

These are the births of the heavens and the earth (spiritual) in the day Yahuah Aluahym made the earth and the heavens (physical)

When it says He rested on the 7th day from all His works and Set apart the Day He rested and Set it apart, He did it as a fulfillment as Mashiyach is that Day. As the writer of Hebrews says "If Yahushua (Joshua) would have given them rest (referring to the land of Cananan where he had them inhabited), He would not have spoken of another Day. Therefore, there remains a rest for the people of Yahuah" (Heb 4:8-9)

Didn't Yahusha Mashiyach say that He and His Father has been working all along? So, is it a physical day?  Wasn't the physical day a memorial of the Day who is Mashiyach. Were the fathers given the true rest in the body of sin? Wasn't it a sign pointing to Him? Abraham saw MY DAY and rejoiced. In Hebrews we read Abraham didn't attain the promises but saw it far off and rejoiced in that DAY.
Mashiyach Yahusha is called the Day star, Bright and Morning Star, Sun of Righteousness with healing in His wings, His star was seen in the east etc. all pointing to Him. Psalms 118: 24 speaking of the Stone which the builders rejected (referring to Mashiyach) says "This is the day Yahuah has ordained, let us rejoice and be glad in"

Coming to the heavens and the earth (spiritual) were made in the day Yahuah Aluahym made the earth and the heavens (physical). The physical pointed to the spiritual. In 1 Cor 15 Shaul lays down this principle that the natural comes first and then the spiritual. Romans 5:14 says Adam was a type of Him (Mashiyach ) who was to come. 1Corin 15:45 terms Yahusha as the last Adam who is a LIFE GIVING RUACH. The physical transitions in Him as He is the Heavenly Man. The Day Star which through Ruach of prophecy is risen in our hearts and gives us a hope to take us to New Yerushalayim where He Himself is the Light and Day. And there are no timekeepers in New Yerushalayim (Rev 21:25 & Rev 22:5).
Lastly if you understand Gen 6:3 it says "My Ruach will not strive with man, for he is flesh and yet his days shall be 120 years''. Notice the words ''for he is flesh".

Did Yahuah mean he will literally live 120 years or less? Didn't after the flood people live beyond 120 years e.g. Terah lived 205 years, Abraham lived 175 years etc. So, this 120 years is a spiritual mystery of 120 jubilee years i.e. 120 x 50 = 6000 years and the 1000 years rest depicted by the Messiah's rule is the ushering into the 7th Day rest.

We are very close to the end. The natural makes way to the spiritual. The true intent of Shabbath is missed by many as they greet one another Shabbat Shalum whereas there is no Shalum in captivity and dispersion. Yahuah drove our fathers out of the Shemitah of the land into pagan nations to bring us into this realization. If you again see the hatred towards each other on Shabbath days and time of its observance (Some say Saturday, some say lunar Shabbaths, then there are disputes of time Friday evening to Saturday evening, some say morning of Saturday-to-Saturday evening, some say Saturday morning to Sunday morning etc. etc). So much division is enough for us to know that Mystery Babel is ruling in people's hearts making them feel goody goody flesh appeasment that atleast they are trying to observe Torah laws. If you aint observing the Torah of sin and death in the right manner calls for judgement without mercy. So many are falling into the condemnation of Judaism without transitioning to the Day of Yahuah who is Yahusha Himself. It's His CHAZUN which is revealed, and He is the One who is beyond the sun, moon and stars as He rolls the heavens like a roll of a scroll and yet people are looking at blood moons, eclipses, calendars associated with the physical elements when He has brought an end to all the physical pattern by transitioning the remnant in Himself.


The alaph shanah/1000 years:

None of our fathers ever attained the alaph shanah. Methuselah was the longest to live 969 years and yet he fell short of the 1000 years. Mashiyach is the only one who lives forever and ever. ' shanah' in Hebrews also means a 'two: A repeating of the first or what was before' and Our Alaph is Yahusha who is that Alaph who lives forever. The number 1000 termed as alaph is the number of Completeness in scripture. 1000 years in your sight as yesterday past and as a watch in the night (Pslams 90:4). Hence, the first day before Yahuah created anything and the 7th day when He rested from all His works (although the works were finished from the foundation of the worlds) point to that Alaph Tau because before He made anything there was a perpetual rest and after He made everything, He related everything to Himself in that perpetual rest. The 7 days tie to the 7000 years where the physical man who was created on the 6th day and tied to the 6000 years (120 years span) falls short of the 7000 i.e. the Rest in Mashiyach. Only the remnant goes through the transition.


Shabbath שבת has root words shab which is a verb and means turn/return and bath has three meanings 1. daughter 2. house 3. In

This reminds me of Yahuah telling Abraham that he would shub ashub (turn and return) according to the time of life and Sarah would have a son. The promise was not to seeds as Shaul says in Galatians but about the seed Mashiyach.

Hence, Yahuah would return to the daughter of Tsyion IN a NEW TABERNACLE (remember Abraham was sitting at the tent door when Yahuah came with the 2 messengers (Gen 18:1) Gen 18:9 Sarah was in the tent and Yahuah and the Messengers with Abraham were outside when the promise was made.

The promised seed would enter into the new tent, into the covenant Yasharal's womb to bring forth the One in whom is the REST.
The Day was just a pointer to HIM. Abraham sat in the HEAT OF THE DAY at the tent door. There was a 'time of life' appointed for Yahuah HIMSELF to shub ashub (turn and return) and this DABAR OF LIFE/CHAY was seen, heard, touched and looked upon (1John 1:1-2).
The mystery unfolds IN HIM as HE is the HEAVENLY MISHKAN.

Tabniyth תבנית: Masha/Moshe was given the pattern and was warned to see that everything is made according to the pattern. (Exo 25:9,40) The word for pattern is 'tabniyth' H8403 תבנית where the root word 'taban' H8401 תבנ means straw. Remember, Yasharal in Mitsrayim were asked to make bricks using taban/straw. And Pharaoh withdrew the supply of straw/taban from them for they sought deliverance to go and sacrifice to Yahuah. (Exo 5:7)
Yasharal was using these straw/taban bricks to build Mitsrayim and because they rebelled against Yahuah when they rose up to play in the golden calf incident, Yahuah brought them the tabaniyth structure (a earthly mishkan representing the heavenly pattern who is Mashiyach) with a promise concealed in it. the yath ית added at the end of taban תבנ was the hands impaled on the stake (yod: hand and tau: stake)
Honor the Shabbath to keep it Qodesh has a Ruach in the Letter Just as the command Honor your father and mother that it may be well with you is understood when the Psalmist says in Psalms 137:5-6 If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget its skill. If I do not remember you, 7 let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I prefer not Yerushalayim above my chief joy.
Shaul calls the Yerushalayim from above as 'mother of us all'. Also, the command in Gen 2:24 " Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh" shows us Yahusha leaving His fatherhood and Heavenly Yerushalayim and coming in the tent fashioned as us to cleave unto us. This mystery Shaul the emissary speaks about in Eph 5:30-32 pointing to Mashiyach. The life-giving commandment is concealed in the letter.

The transition of priesthoods:

Heb 7:14 For it is perfectly clear that our Master arose from Yehuḏah, a tribe about which Mosheh never spoke of concerning priesthood,

Heb 7:15 and this is clearer still, if another priest arises in the likeness of Malkitseḏeq,

Heb 7:16 who has become, not according to the torah of fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

Heb 7:17 for He does witness, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Malkitseḏeq.” Psa 110:4.

The Malkitsedeq priesthood is not according to the Torah of a fleshly commandment but the power of an endless life. Shem was placed into the order of Malkitsedeq which is a priesthood which is eternal as Mashiyach is the Rishon/First and the Akharon/Last. When it says of Mashiyach “You are a priest forever after the order of Malkitsedeq “the word for order is ‘Dabar’ where Yahuchanan in John 1:1 and 1John1:1 identifies Him as Yahusha who the Captain of the New creation order is. Many Unitarians demean Him by saying He had a beginning and is a created being but don’t see YashaYahu 6

Isa 6:1 In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train /shul H7757 שול of His robe filled the Hěḵal/Temple.

Shul was the hem of the high priest garment (Look up Exodus 28 for Aharon's garments) which had the golden bells and the pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet.

The Song of Solomon makes liberal use of the pomegranate in describing the loveliness of the bride (Song of Solomon 6:11; 7:12; 8:2)

Sng 4:3 Your lips are like a cord of scarlet, and your speech is lovely. Your cheeks behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate.

We know that the Song of Shelemoh is a mystery of the love between Mashiyach and His bride.

The shul of Yahuah filled the haykal shows Him existing in the person of Yahuah as the Rishon who has no beginning and the first order Malkitsedeq to be eternally placed in humanity after the new creation order /dabar of Malkitsedeq who is after the power of an endless life as the Akharon/Last but as one who continues beyond the 1000 years/alaph shanah.

Remember, none of our fathers achieved 1000 years of life with Methuselah living the highest 969 years but falling short of the Alaph Shanah/1000 years H8141.

Psa 90:4 For a thousand years (Alaph Shanah) in Your eyes Are like yesterday that has past, Or like a watch in the night.

Psa 90:5 You have swept them away, they are as a sleep, like grass that springs up in the morning.

Coming to events around the vision YashaYahu saw and recorded in YashaYahu 6, Yahuchanan says as follows:

Jhn 12:41 Yeshayahu said this when he saw His (Yahusha) esteem and spoke of Him.

Please read and compare the events of Yashayahu 6 and Yahuchanan 12 to see who the speaker is.

While the scholars or writers try to show the power of Levitical priesthood by showing Miriam/Mary from the Aharonical priesthood, what they fail to see is Hebrews 7 speaks of Mashiyach springing from Yahudah, a tribe which Moshe never spoke about.

The ancestral lineage matters, and it always comes from the father and never the mother.

Why did Yahuchanan the immerser say he is not worthy to untie Yahusha’s sandals?

Yahuchanan's father was ZacharYah who was from the Tsadoq lineage from Levitical priesthood, hence Yahuchanan inherited the priesthood but chose to serve outside the hakyal as he knew his calling was to prepare the way of Yahuah, a highway in the desert. Also, the system in the haykal was corrupted and being a Tsadoq priest, he refused to serve there. He said He must increase, and I must decrease.

As a Tsadoq Levite priest he made way to the eternal Malkitsedeq priest Yahuah now in the new creation order as Yahusha.

He is called Son of David because the promise was that He would spring forth from David’s lineage which was both from Yahusaph/Yoseph (Ephrathite) and Yahudah.

1Sa 17:12 Now Dawiḏ was the son of that Ephrathite of Běyth Leḥem in Yehuḏah, whose name was Yishai, and he had eight sons, and in the days of Sha’ul the man was old

Gen 49 Yaaqob prophesied to Yoseph from you is the Stone of Yasharal and Yahudah he promise the scepter shall not depart from Yahudah.

Rut 4:21 And Salmon brought forth Bo‛az, and Bo‛az brought forth Oḇěḏ.

Rut 4:22 And Oḇěḏ brought forth Yishai, and Yishai brought forth Dawiḏ.

Yahuah in his wisdom brought Boaz the Yahudite and Ruth the Ephrathite widow of Machlun whose son Obed would be called after the dead man Machlon according to Torah of the dead brother leaving his wife childless. Hence, David was from Obed the dead brother Torah son of Machlun ie. An Ephrathite as well as from Boaz the Yahudite.

Ephrayim represents Yasharal. Hence, all believing in Yahusha fall into the new creation order and are kings and priests of the kingdom.

1Pe 2:9 But you are a chosen race, royal priesthood, a set-apart nation,a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light,

Rev 1:6 and has made us sovereigns and priests to His Elohim and Father, to Him be esteem and rule forever and ever. Aman.

Rev 5:10 and made us sovereigns and priests to our Elohim, and we shall reign upon the earth.

Falling into the New creation order He subjected Himself to the first order Priest who was eternal and falls in line after His order, just as the 7th day rest falls in order of the 1st day, in which He held in Himself His creation in his heart and mind and unleashed His plan to fruition as He created.

Adam was the second in order who was a type of him who was to come. And the last Adam pre existed and over rides all earthly priesthood including the earthly Malkitsedeq priests who occupied His office in a transition which would be completed by Mashiyach Himself

And Mashiyach lives forever . He says “ I am He that lives, was dead and am alive forever more”

Rev 1:17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid, I am the First and the Last, Isa 44:6, Isa 48:12.

Rev 1:18 I am He that liveth, And I became dead, and see, I am living forever and ever. Aman. And I possess the keys of Sheol and of Death

Liveth….was dead…and see I am living forever and ever.

In Exodus 24 we see Aharon, Masha and 70 elders of Yasharal went up the mount and ate the covenant meal before Yahuah and yet they didn’t die. Whom they saw was Yahusha who was in the first order of Malkitsedeq priesthood of which He would fall in line as per the New Creation.

Exo 24:10 and they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ěl, and under His feet like a paved work of sapphire stone, and like the heavens for brightness.

Exo 24:11 Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the chiefs of the children of Yisra’ěl! And they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank.

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 heavens and the earth (new creation order) was created in the day Yahuah made the earth and the heavens (the first order).

Hence, this has to be understood in the right perspective.

Lastly the rod that Moshe had was the Malkitsedeq priesthood rod passed on from Adam to Yoseph and that’s how it landed in Mitsrayim which Moshe took it along with him.

Exo 4:2 And יהוה said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A rod.”

Exo 4:20 So Mosheh took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Mitsrayim. And Mosheh took the rod of Elohim in his hand

This was the rod that budded with almonds, a branch cut off from the tree of life given to Adam to be able to continue in the priesthood.

Num 17:6 And Mosheh spoke to the children of Yisra’ěl, and all their leaders gave him a rod each, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods. And the rod of Aharon was among their rods.

Num 17:7 So Mosheh placed the rods before יהוה in the Tent of the Witness.

Num 17:8 And it came to be on the next day that Mosheh went into the Tent of the Witness and saw that the rod of Aharon, of the house of Lěwi, had budded, and brought forth buds, and blossomed and bore ripe almonds.

Num 17:9 And Mosheh brought out all the rods from before יהוה to all the children of Yisra’ěl. And they looked, and each man took his rod.

This rod which was in Moshe’s hand who as a servant was a custodian of the Malkitsedeq priesthood, gave the rod to Aharon his brother the Levite kahan ha gadul and this rod budded with almonds over the rods of the other tribal leaders.

The word for blossoms/budded is tsiyts

And tsyits later came into the shul/hem of the garments and Yahuah foreshadowed the Malkitsedeq priesthood by filling the haykal by His blossoms.

The word shaqad translated as almonds also means watch

Jer 1:11 And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond (shaqad שקד )

Jer 1:12 And יהוה said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to do it.”

The blossoms were evidence that the custodian would have the sceptre as a servant over the house

Heb 3:3 For this One has been deemed worthy of more esteem than Mosheh, as much as He who built the house enjoys more respect than the house.

Heb 3:4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built all is Elohim.

Heb 3:5 And Mosheh indeed was trustworthy in all His house as a servant, for a witness of what would be spoken later,

Heb 3:6 but Messiah as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the boldness and the boasting of the expectation firm to the end.

Heb 9:3 And after the second veil, the part of the Tent which is called Most Set-apart,

Heb 9:4 to which belonged the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that held the manna, and the rod of Aharon that budded, and the tablets of the covenant,

The ark of the covenant : the word used for ark is arun H727 ארון which is a root word in the name Aaharon אהרון which means light bringer.

The rod that budded , the pot of manna and the tablets of the covenant were kept in the ark which was overshadowed by the Kerubs over the mercy seat. All the elements pointed to Mashiyach

The earthly made way for the heavenly, the earthly pattern was custodian of the heavenly

Also why do you think as Shem Malkitsedeq , Yahusha brought forth bread and wine on the night of the Pesach? Shem was acting beforehand in Ruach of prophecy indicating the body and blood of Mashiyach would redeem Abraham and his seed. Yitshaq whom Abraham received as a type, named the place Yahuah Yarah was which means ‘ Yahuah will be seen’

There is so much depth to all of this which I myself find it difficult to articulate.

Is Yahuah a priest? Why is Yahusha termed as after the order/dabar of Malchitsedek?

The understanding is that the Lawgiver is a Priest and the Law receiver is after the order of that Priest.

The Torah came from Yahuah at Mt Sinai with all instructions to be followed to enjoin Yahuah. Hence, Yahuah had to come down on Sinai in a form to deliver the Torah. Exodus 24 records Moses, Aharon and his sons along with 70 elders went up and ate the covenant meal before Yahuah whom Moses describes as the body of heaven in its clearness.

Exo 24:9 And Mosheh went up, also Aharon, Naḏaḇ, and Aḇihu, and seventy of the elders of Yisra’ěl,

Exo 24:10 and they saw the Elohim of Yisra’ěl, and under His feet like a paved work of sapphire stone, and his body like the heavens for brightness.

Exo 24:11 Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the chiefs of the children of Yisra’ěl! And they saw Elohim, and they ate and drank.

Hence, Malchitsedek was seated on the throne on Sinai as Yahuah. They didn’t know Him as Yahusha yet.Stephen in Acts 7 says the Torah was given by Angel/Messenger in the hand of a mediator. Shaul says the same in Galatians.

Act 7:38 “This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the Messenger who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living Words to give to us,

Act 7:53 who received the Torah as it was ordained by messengers but did not watch over it.”

If you notice In Acts 7:38 Stephen says

the Messenger who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received the living Words to give to us.

The Messenger who is Yahuah is singular and the fathers received the living words to give to us and then he says in verse 53

who received the Torah as it was ordained by messengers, but did not watch over

Here the messengers is in plural

Why is this? Remember when Moses went to receive the living words, the people down sinned by making the golden calf, Yahuah would have consumed them all in his wrath. But Moses pleads with Yahuah for them and he gives them the carnal Torah of sin and death through messengers with His living words concealed in it. He fills in the Levitical priesthood which was interim until the Malchitsedek priest after His order comes.

Shaul the emissary confirms here

Gal 3:19 Why, then, the Torah? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made. And it was ordained through messengers in the hand of a mediator.

He talks of “why then the Torah? “ Referring to the written Torah of sin and death. He says it was ADDED because of Transgressions until the SEED should come to whom the promises were made.

The Promised SEED is Mashiyach after the order of Malchitsedek. And this Torah of sin and death was handed to the mediator Moses through messengers who were kept to guard the way to the tree of life ( same picture we see in Gen 3:24 and the cherubim’s overshadowing the mercy seat). You may refer to my note ‘The Imagery of the Cherubims and their Significance’ here:

Hence, the Torah giver is Yahuah who is Yahusha in the body of heaven in its clearness and the receiver is Yahusha in the body of likeness of sinful flesh , after the order of Malchitsedek, the true Yahuah Tsedkenu ( Yahuah our Righteousness) revealed.

For Aharon:

Exo 28:33 “And on its hem/shul you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:

Exo 28:34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem/shul of the robe all around.

Exo 28:35 “And it shall be upon Aharon to attend in, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the set-apart place before יהוה and when he comes out, so that he does not die.

Yahuah: Isa 6:1 In the year that Sovereign Uzziyahu died, I saw יהוה sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the hem /shul of His robe filled the Hěḵal.

Now the Torah giver knew that the Torah receivers wouldn’t be able to keep the Living words which were concealed within the Torah of sin and death (Ruach in the letter), hence, He after the order of Malchitsedek fulfilled every oracle written in it in the lower bodily form ie. In a body of likenesses of sinful flesh and transitions everyone who believes in Him into His Malchitsedek priesthood. Since the Torah giver and receiver are the same ie. A Priest forever and the just requirement’s met as per His Righteousness, the purpose which was established is met % .

The word for order is dabar and we know Yahuchanan in Yahuchanan (John 1:1) introduces Aluahym as Dabar and says the Dabar is Aluahym.

Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word/Dabar, and the Word/Dabar was with Elohim, and the Word/Dabar was Elohim.

Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.

In his letter in 1John 1:1 he says Dabar of life whom we have seen, heard, touched and that is Yahusha ha Mashiyach.

1Jn 1:1 Alaph Tau who was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word/Dabar of life:

Psa 110:4 יהוה has sworn and does not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order/dabar of Malkitseḏeq.”

I’ve already shared that the yachyid/Only is Yahusha occupying the seat of the right hand filling in for us. You may read the note here:

https://dsouzashodan72.blogspot.com/.../yachyid-only.html...

Dabar: דבר Dalet is the door and bar is the Son

Madabar מדבר : Wilderness, that’s where the Living Words were given concealed

The mem is the letter in Hebrew which denotes water and blood which are elements of the womb and forming the assembly of the fisrstborn in the wilderness . The Blood of the covenant of the Son through the Door.

Melek vs Malak:

Melek: king spelled as מלך H4428 has the word lak לך which means guide/ message/ path shower

Malak : Messenger מלאך has root word laak לאך which means One who walks for another.

The picture is of King Yahuah gives the Message and shows the path and the same Yahuah as the Messenger walks that path and obeys the Message.

That’s why He is termed as King of Kings and ADON of Adoniym. He won’t give us anything unless He Himself has walked it for us. Isn’t that beautiful?

Shout an HalaluYah if you understand this mystery!
