The First/ rishon ראשןנ & the Last/acharon אחרונ

 Isa41:4 Who has performed and accomplished it, calling forth the generations from the beginning/rosh ראש 𐤓𐤀𐤔? I, Yahuah am the first/rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍, and the last/acharonim אחרנים 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌. I am He.

Isa44:6 Thus says Yahuah, the King of Yisra’El and his Redeemer,Yahuah of hosts: I am the first/rishon  ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔 and I am the last/acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍, and there is no Elohim besides Me.

Rev1:16 And he had in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.

Rev1:17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Fear not; I am the first/rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 and the last אחרונ  𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 and the living One.”

Rev1:18 “And I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. And I have in My hand the keys of Sheol and of death.”  

We have seen that the Book of Revelation was given through an agency who was a Messenger and in a signification. 

Rev1:1 The Revelation of `Yahusha the Mashiyach, which Elohim gave Him, is to show to His servants, the things what must happen soon, and He signified (Greek: semaino G4591) it by sending by the hand of His messenger to His servant to Yahuchanan, 

Greek word translated as signified: semaino G4591 which means 'to allude' (suggest or call attention to indirectly; hint at/mention without discussing at length)

Usage of this word:

Yahusha had prayed & a voice came from heaven saying “I have glorified it, and I shall glorify it again.” Yahusha told the people this voice didn't come for My sake, but for your sake

John12:28 “My Father, glorify Your name!” A voice came forth from the heavens, saying, “I have glorified it, and I shall glorify it again.”

John12:30 Yahusha  answered and said, “This voice was not for My sake, but for your sake.”

And then He spoke to them in the agency or as in Hebrew they say 'shaliach' שליח in hinting at His death without discussing at length.

John12:32 “But I, if I am lifted up above the earth, shall draw all of them to Myself.”

John12:33 He spoke this to allude or signify semaino G4591 to the type of death by which He would die.

Shaliach is also translated as an apostle, the one who is SENT & speaks on behalf of the sender.

Rom1:1 Polos (Shaul), a servant of Yahusha the Mashiyach, called to be an apostle (Hebrew: shaliach שליח ) and set apart to the Good News of Elohim,

While Yahusha chose 12 apostles and sent them to be His witnesses, we see Shaul mentioning in Heb 3 to consider the shaliach and kahan ha gadul of our confession Yahusha who was faithful to Him who appointed Him. 

Heb3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of the calling of the heaven consider the Apostle (Hebrew: shaliach שליח 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤇 Greek: ton apostolon)  and High Priest of our confession, to the Mashiyach `Yahusha.

Heb3:2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Mosheh was in all His house.

Hence, we see Yahusha in a SECONDARY ESTATE i.e. acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 testifying to the FIRST ESTATE. The apostles whom He chose were testifying to His both estates and this is where we need to draw the line to understand.

The word apostolos is also translated as a 'messenger' & 'sent' In Php 2:25, 2Cor- 8:23 Shaul calls his fellow workers as 'messenger/s' and the very same word is used. 

Speaking of the greatness in servanthood, Yahusha shows His example of being their Teacher and Adon who has walked in the path of servanthood and commands us to do the same.

John13:14 “Therefore if I, the Teacher and the Adon, have washed your feet, you also are obligated to wash one another’s feet.”

John13:15 “For I give you an example so that you too shall do what I have done for you.”

John 13:16 “Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is the one who is sent (Greek: apostolos, Hebrew: shaliach שליח 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤇 )  greater than the one who sent him.

Luke 7 records of the woman who was a sinner who anointed the feet and head of Yahusha.

Luke records the one whose house this happened as 'one of the Pharisees' whereas Mark 14:3 records his name as 'Simon the leper' referring to his previous estate of being a leper and now healed by Yahusha. A leper could never have hosted a dinner nor have partaken in one with other people – Simon the Leper must have been healed.

Luke 7:36 Now one of the Pharisees was requesting Him to eat the bread with Him, and He entered into the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

Luke 7:37 And, behold, there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee’s house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume (maraqath)

Luke 7:38 and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept shining them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

Scripture records this to be Miriam (Mary) to be the sister of Alazar (Lazarus), and the Pharisee who invited Yahusha to his place was Simon.

John 11:2 It was the Miriam who anointed the Master with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

John 12:3 Miriam then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Yahusha and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Mark 14:3 While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman having an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

Washing of the feet by Mariyam, Yahuchanan the Immerser stating he is not worthy to untie the sandals of Yahusha all indicate His first estate as Masha/Moshe when He encountered the burning bush, he was asked to remove his sandals off his feet for the ground he stood on was set-apart, when Yahushua/Joshua met the Captain of hosts, he was asked to remove his sandals as the ground he stood was set-apart and He acquired the first estate honor through His love & servanthood.

Yahusha washing His disciple's feet was to show them that in His second estate acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 He came to serve and not to be served but laid down the first estate principle that no servant is greater than his master (John 13:16).

Matt 20:25 Then Yahusha called to them and said, “You know that the rulers of the gentiles rule over them, and the great ones dominate over them.” 

Matt 20:26 “But as for you, let it not be so among you, for the one who desires to be great among you is to be as the servant to you.”

Matt 20:27 “and the one who desires to be the head among you as the servant to you.”

Matt 20:28 “just as the Son of Adam did not come so that others would serve Him, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom in place of many.”

1Cor 15:45 So it is written, the first/rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 man, Adam, was made a living soul. The last/acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 Adam was made a life-giving spirit.

Rev 3:14 “To the messenger of the assembly in Laodicea write, these things say The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning (Hebrew: rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 Greek: he arche) of the covenanted creation (Hebrew: barayath בראית 𐤁𐤓𐤀𐤉𐤕 Greek: ktisis) of the Elohim,”

The word 'creation' in Rev 3:14 should be interpreted as 'covenanted creation' as the word has the 'baryth' ברית 𐤁𐤓𐤉𐤕 which means covenant and 'bara' ברא 𐤁𐤓𐤀 which means 'create.'

The indication is of the Tent which is Yahusha's body not made with hands of men and not of this creation. Hence, it's a covenanted created body which will be a model for the covenanted as they would be transformed into it in the new creation order.

Heb 9:11 But in the coming of the Mashiyach being an High Priest of the good things to come within a greater and more perfect tabernacle raised, that is not made with hands of men, that is, not of this creation (Hebrew: ha barayah הבריאה 𐤄𐤁𐤓𐤉𐤀𐤄 Greek: ktiseous),

Yahusha being in the Second Estate acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 always upheld the first estate as He came as the One who was SENT.

The Messenger (whom Yahuchanan mistook to be Yahusha twice and tried to worship him), who unfolded the Revelation to Yahuchanan/John signified i.e. called attention to indirectly, hint at His former estate and directly spoke of his current standpoint of view in the second estate. And all this was given in visions and imagery.

Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 יהושע  Worship Elohim! For the witness of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 יהושע is the spirit of prophecy. 

The witness of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy which testifies of His 'second/last estate' i.e. the acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 directly and His first estate in signification/indirectly hinting in visions and imageries.

Rev 22:8 And I, Yoḥanan, saw and heard these matters. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the messenger who showed me these matters.

Rev 22:9 And he said to me, “See, do not! For I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who are guarding the words of this book. Worship Elohim.” 

Hence, the term 'Worship Alahym' as stated by the Messenger has to be decoded to be His first estate.

A Psalm of Dawid. Ps110:1 Yahuah says to My Adon (Adonay: אדני 𐤀𐤃𐤍𐤉 Master): sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.

Yahuah in His first estate spoke of Himself as occupying the prime seat & in the second Estate acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍  being at His right hand as the Adon of David.

Matt 22:41 And it came to pass when the Prushim were assembled, `Yahusha asked them, saying,

Matt 22:42 “What do you say about the Mashiyach? “Whose son is He? And they said to Him, “The son of Dawid.”

Matt 22:43 He said to them, “Then how could Dawid, by the Spirit, call Him ‘Adon (Master),” when he said

Matt 22:44 “Yahuah said to My Adon (Master), ‘Sit at My right hand until I put your enemies your footstool for your feet?’”

Matt 22:45 “Now If Dawid calls Him ‘Adon,’ how is he His son?”

We have touched based this before, it's an occupying position 'IN AN ORDER'

Just few verses down in Psalms 110:4 we read the decree in an 'alike' order ' which will ascend to the first order.

Hebrew words:  'al  על 𐤏𐤋' is a root word in 'alah עלה 𐤏𐤋𐤄  /malah מעלה 𐤌𐤏𐤋𐤄' which means 'ascend' 

Ps110:4 Yahuah has sworn and shall not repent, You are a priest forever according על to the order/dabar דברתי 𐤃𐤁𐤓𐤕𐤉 of Malkitsedeq.

Ps 24:3 Who may ascend/ alah עלה 𐤏𐤋𐤄 into the hill of Yahuah? And who may stand in His set-apart place?

When Shaul is terming Yahusha as 'Apostle (Hebrew; shaliach שליח 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤇 & Greek: apostolon) we also need to see the same verse terming him as 'kahan ha gadul/high priest' tying Him to the order of Malchitsedeq. And we saw that the Malchitsedeq priesthood was according/alike order which will ascend to the former estate. Hence, its is understood the Sent One/shaliach שליח 𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤇 would also attain 'the former estate'.

Heb3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of the calling of the heaven consider to the Apostle and High Priest of our confession,  Mashiyach Yahusha.

'dabar' translated as 'word' or 'order' is a relative entire substance of Yahuah in His Word and the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Yahuchanan/John introduces Yahusha as the Dabar Alahym made flesh in John 1:1 and in 1John 1:1. He says we have examined this substance. The Greek uses the word 'Logos' which is a 'Divine Expression.'

But when we read Heb 1:3 we see Yahusha mentioned as the exact expression of His substance we see The Greek word :hupostasis G5287 from 'G5259 hupo' which means 'under' and 'G5287 histemi' which means 'continuation') 

Heb1:3 and who being the brightness of His glory and the exact expression of His substance (hupostasis G5287) and sustains all things by the Word of His power. After He had purified of our sins by Himself, He sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high,

So, we see the same priciple, His first estate was beneath the surface the natural eyes could see, while His second estate acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 came through the ruach of prophecy relative to His first estate. And once esteemed, will be united with the former estate.

When we see Rev 1, we decode the following:

1. Rev 1:8: The Messenger alludes the first estate claim of Yahuah as 'Alaph Tau' & 'Rishon Acharon' and also shows the progression of the transition to the second estate 'the One who is and who was and who is to come (Greek: Ho own kai ho en kai ho erchomenos. Hebrew: hahoeh w’hayah w’yabo).”

‘Ho own kai ho en kai ho erchomenos ‘should be correctly translated as ‘Which is, which was and where he arrives to.’

hahoeh w’hayah w’yabo ההוה והיה ויבוא 𐤄𐤄𐤅𐤄 𐤅𐤄𐤉𐤄 𐤅𐤉𐤁𐤅𐤀 is correctly translated as “The One who is and was and He arrived to”.

2. Rev 1:10: Yahuchanan is saying "I was in the Spirit on the Adon’s day". The body of the Adon was in a transition to enter the completion of the Day of Yahuah where it would arrive to, and so were all elements of the Torah & the commands also to transition to a completeness in His body. When John says ''I was in the Sprirt on the Adon's day", he was taken in a signification: call attention to indirectly in visions and imageries by the Messenger to show His former and secondary or acharon אחרונ estate.

3. Rev 1:12-17 John turned to see the voice that spoke and describes His appearance and then in verse 17 heard His claim "hari’shon acharon" הראשונ אחרונ 𐤄𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍   𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 tying Him to both His estates.

YashaYahu/Isaiah shows His former/rishon ראשונ 𐤄𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 and secondary/acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 estate/order:

1.) Isa 41:3 He followed after them/yardapam ירדפם 𐤉𐤓𐤃𐤐𐤌 crossing over/abar יעבר 𐤏𐤁𐤓 in peace/shalom שלום 𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌 in the path/rach ארח 𐤀𐤓𐤇 by his feet/ragalu ב רגלן 𐤁𐤓𐤂𐤋𐤅 not/la לא 𐤋𐤀 he arrived/yabo יבוא 𐤉𐤁𐤅𐤀

 Isa41:4 Who has performed and accomplished it, calling forth the generations from the beginning/rosh ראש 𐤓𐤀𐤔? I, Yahuah am the first/rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍, and the last/acharonim אחרנים 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌. I am He.

We saw the word ויבוא   𐤅𐤉𐤁𐤅𐤀 wayabo would mean ‘he came/he arrived’.

The verse put in simple English would be:

Isa 41:3 He followed after them crossing over in peace, in the path he did not arrive by His feet.

Isaih 41:4 Who has performed and accomplished it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, Yahuah am the first in order and the second/last in order. I am He.

Remember this is being said of 'covenanted creation'. The word 'creation' in Rev 3:14 should be interpreted as 'covenanted creation' as the word has the 'baryth' ברית 𐤁𐤓𐤉𐤕 which means 'covenant' and 'bara' ברא 𐤁𐤓𐤀 which means 'create.'

Speaking about in Him and for Him all things being created in the heavens and in the earth, all that is visible and invisible, be it thrones, dominions, rulers, authorities, all things have been created by his hands and for Him (Col 1:16), Shaul the emissary tells us 

Col 1:18 He is the Head of the Body, the assembly, who is the beginning (Hebrew: rashayath ראשית 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤉𐤕, Greek: arche) the firstborn from the dead, that He might be the first (Hebrew: rishon ראשןנ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍, Greek: proteuo G4409 from G4413 protos and means first in rank) in all things.

Hence, when Yahuah says " I, Yahuah am the first/rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍, and the last/acharonim אחרנים 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤍𐤉𐤌. I am He", He is speaking of His transition to arrive in a first in rank and then arrive at the second/last estate.

We can see this from Gen 1:2-3

Gen1:2 And the earth was without form/thahu תהן 𐤕𐤄𐤅 and void/bahu בהן 𐤁𐤄𐤅 , and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Elohim was paving the way/ rachapath רחפת 𐤓𐤇𐤐𐤕 over the surface of the waters. 

The next thing we read is Gen 1:3

Gen 1:3 Then Elohim said, Let there be light; and there was light.

And Shaul the emissary tells us who the LIGHT is & how it arrived without feet in a first estate and with feet in a second estate as understood in YashaYahu 41:3-4.

2 Cor4:6 For the Elohim, who said, Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of the Elohim which is in the face of the Mashiyach.

And this LIGHT was not created but existed and was manifested. This LIGHT was testified by Yahuchanan the Immerser

John 1:4 In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light for the sons of men.

John 1:5 The Light shone in the darkness, and the darkness did not overtake it.

John 1:6 There was a man sent from the Elohim whose name was Yahuchanan.

John 1:7 He came as a testimony, to testify about the Light, so that all may believe through His hand.

John 1:8 He was not the Light, but he was to testify about the Light.

Thahu H8414 is a state of waste.

Bahu H922 is an empty space with a need to be filled.

And the Yahuah's Ruach was paving the way to arrive without feet into the first of the rank (in a heavenly body manifested in imagery & visions) and then with feet (in a human body seen & examined) in last of the rank and that's why he is termed as the last Adam in 1Corn 15:45/ Adam ha acharon אדם האחרונ   𐤀𐤃𐤌 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍

By His arrival, He brought an end to wastlessness and emptiness.

2.) Isa44:5 This one/zeh זה 𐤆𐤄 shall say, I am of Yahuah; and that one/zeh זה 𐤆𐤄  shall call by the name of Yaaqob (Jacob); and another/zeh זה  𐤆𐤄 shall write on his hand, for Yahuah, and shall be called by the name of Yisra’El. 

Isa44:6 Thus says Yahuah, the King of Yisra’El and his Redeemer,Yahuah of hosts: I am the first/rishon ראשונ 𐤓𐤀𐤔𐤅𐤍 and I am the last/acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍, and there is no Elohim besides Me.

Hebrew word zeh זה 𐤆𐤄 : this & 3 places this word is used in Isa 44:5

Speaking about pouring out His Ruach on Yasharal's offspring & His blessing on Yasharal's descendants (Isa 44:3-4) YashaYahu using the same word 'zeh זה' 𐤆𐤄 shows us the 3 saying are one and the same as they see Yahuah transitioning as Yaaqob and Yasharal, a synonym for Yahusha. verse 6 of YashYahu clearly shows His position in the first rank and the last rank. He further adds, there is no Alahym besides Him, showing us Yahusha is the One Alahym.

Ex4:22 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says Yahuah, Yasharal is My son, My firstborn.

Hos11:1 When Yisra’El was a youth I loved him, and out of Mitsrayim I called My son.

Matt2:15 He remained there until the death of Hordos. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by Yahuah through the hand of the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt I called My son.

Gal 6:15 For in Mashiyach Yahusha neither is circumcision considered, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

Gal 6:16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon Yisra’El which is of Elohim.  

In Gen 35:10 Yaqob is re-named as 'Yasharal'

Gen35:10 Elohim said to him, Your name is Ya’aqob; Your name shall no longer be called Ya’aqob, but Yasharal shall be your name. Thus He called his name Yasharal.

Yaqob & Yasharal are references made to us in YashaYahu 44:5 as we occupy the last estate of Yahusha i.e. the acharon אחרונ 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤅𐤍 estate.

Lastly the word achar אחר 𐤀𐤇𐤓 H268 is translated as 'back' in Exo 33:23. The same word H312 , H314 achar אחר 𐤀𐤇𐤓 means another/other/following. Hence, when Masha urged to see Him, he saw Yahuah's another form.

 Exo 33:22 “And it shall be, while My esteem passes by, that I shall put you in the cleft/neqarah נקרה 𐤍𐤒𐤓𐤄 H5366 of the rock and cover/sakak סכך 𐤎𐤊𐤊 H5526 you with My hand/kaph כפ 𐤊𐤐 H3709 while I cross over/abar עבר 𐤏𐤁𐤓 H5674.

Exo 33:23 “Then I shall withdraw My hand/kaphay כפי 𐤊𐤐𐤉 H3709 and you shall see My back/acharay אחרי 𐤀𐤇𐤓𐤉 H268, but My face/panay פני 𐤐𐤍𐤉 H6440 shall not be seen.”

Neqarah נקרה 𐤍𐤒𐤓𐤄 H5366 comes from the root word 'naqar נקר 𐤍𐤒𐤓' H5365 which means pierce, put (thrust) out. Through his nail print kaph/palm of the hand in its piercing Masha could see the esteem of Yahuah in another/achar form i.e. Mashiyach Yahusha in transition i.e. in the new creation body while he withdrew/turned it aside. Yahuah would cross over/abar to His other/acharath form through which He would once again esteem His name and Masha was covered/sakak סכך 𐤎𐤊𐤊 as in a booth/tent which is a foretaste of the divine new creation body as he could only be on the other side to see Yahusha in the New Creation Body as Yahuah had crossed over/abar עבר 𐤏𐤁𐤓 but His face was not shown as remember Yahuchanan/John saw His face in a vision as the sun shining in it's strength and became like a dead man and he was woken up by Yahusha touching him. Here the face was concealed as it was not the time to reveal the identity of Yahusha yet.

In the parable of the vineyard, we see our transition to the first estate in Mashiyach, the last laborer who worked for only 1 hour (11th hour) received the same wage as a reqard as the one who worked for the third, sixth and ninth hour.

Mat 20:8  “And when evening came, the master of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last/acharonim to the first/rishonim.’ 

The third, sixth, ninth & eleventh hour:

1. third hour: Mark15:25 It was the third hour when they crucified Him.

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

3. eleventh hour: While scripture is silent of the 11th hour, we understand that Yahusha died at 3pm i.e. the ninth hour and it says when evening came Yoseph went to Pilate to ask for the body of Yahusha and that evening i.e. was the ereb Pesach which was a high Shabbath. Hence, He would have been taken down from the stake at around 5pm. Scripture gives us a record that the legs of the 2 zealot's were broken as they were still alive so that they die faster, while Yahusha was already dead & that the tomb of Yahusha was nearby, which shows all this was done in a hurry at the last hour of the day before sunset i.e. the 11th hour.

Mat 27:57  And when evening came, there came a rich man from Ramathayim, named Yosěph, who himself had also become a taught one of יהושע. 

Mat 27:58  He went to Pilate and asked for the body of יהושע. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given. 

Mat 27:59  And having taken the body, Yosěph wrapped it in clean linen, 

Joh 19:31  Therefore, since it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the stake on the Sabbath – for that Sabbath was a high one – the Yehuḏim asked Pilate to have their legs broken, and that they be taken away. 

Joh 19:32  Therefore the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was impaled with Him, 

Joh 19:38  And after this, Yosěph of Ramathayim, being a taught one of יהושע, but secretly, for fear of the Yehuḏim, asked Pilate that he might take the body of יהושע, and Pilate gave permission. Therefore he came and took the body of יהושע. 

Joh 19:39  And Naḵdimon, who at first came to יהושע by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 

Joh 19:40  Then they took the body of יהושע, and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as was the habit of the Yehuḏim for burial. 

Joh 19:41  And at the place where He was impaled there was a garden, and in the garden a fresh tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 

Joh 19:42  There, then, because of the Preparation Day of the Yehuḏim, they laid יהושע, because the tomb was near. 

Coming back to the parable of the vineyard, following the body of Mashiyach no matter which hour the elect come in, the reward is the same. The last shall be as the first.

In the picture above: Hebrew reads from right to left and its 'Rosh Achar' which means 'First and Last' and with the principle 'Last and First' we see from left to the right showing us where we are heading to 'Travel through the Fire to the Light'.

With the same principle let's revisit Gen 1:2 where it says earth was without form/thahu and void/bahu.

Gen1:2 And the earth was without form/thahu תהן and void/bahu בהן , and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of Elohim was paving the way/rachapath רחפת over the surface of the waters

In the image above: Hebrew reads from right to the left and we see Thahu Bahu 'Formless Void' mentioned and the left to the right form the words 'And He became body'. He filled the void and the formlessness by Himself.
