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.
