Rev 11:19 And the Dwelling Place/ Hekal of Elohim was opened in the heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His Dwelling Place. And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
We start by looking at this great event mentioned at the sound of the 7th messenger which is the last trumpet
Rev 11:15 And the seventh messenger sounded, and there came to be loud voices in the heaven, saying, “The reign of this world has become the reign of our ADON and of His Mashiyach and HE shall reign forever and ever!
The verse seems to say ADON and His Mashiyach are two different persons but a closer look shows “HE” (singular) shall reign forever and ever (לעולמי עולמים : la aulamay aulamayam)
We have evidence from scripture of the Reign of Yahusha as it is said, His rule shall never end
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of His rule and peace there is no end, upon the throne of Dawiḏ and over His reign,a to establish it and sustain it with right-ruling and with righteousness from now on, even forever(aulam) The ardour of יהוה of hosts does this.
The rule of Mashiyach is even in the age to come
Eph 1:20 which He wrought in the Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies,
Eph 1:21 far above all rule and authority and power and mastery, and every name that is named, *not only in this age but also in that which is to come.*
I am setting the context of the Abary mindset as to how and why this ruach of prophecy came to be and will come to be and I urge the reader to be extremely cautious as the time is just approaching when we will see this happen as we are right towards the end
The Dwelling place is the haykal which was opened in the shamayim and the ark of the covenant was seen in His Dwelling Place and there came to be lightning’s/ ba raqyam voices/qolot thundering/ ramyim and an earthquake/raash and a great/kabad (root in the word esteem) hail /barad
We see similar patterns in passages as
Rev 8:5 And the messenger took the censer, and filled it with fire from the slaughter-place, and threw it to the earth. And there were voices/ qolot and thunders/ramyim and lightnings/ba raqyam and an earthquake/ raash
Only the kabad/ hail/barad is missing in this passage
The passage is significant of the Messenger ie. Yahusha doing away with the physical pattern as He took the fire from the slaughter place (altar) and threw it to the earth and we understand this spiritually fulfilled
We understand that this Messenger was Yahusha the High Priest as from His hand went up to Aluahym
Rev 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the set-apart ones, went up before Elohim from the hand of the messenger.
It was the 9th hour when Yahusha cried out with a loud voice and gave up His spirit
Mat 27:45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour.
Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour יהושע cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”
It was the very hour the High Priest was offering incense on the incense altar when the veil separating the Most Set Apart place tore from top to bottom, indicating the consummation of the Covenant and the end of the earthly pattern as Yahusha is the heavenly pattern who fulfilled everything written in the Torah. It was at this very same hour along with His Ruach the Ruach ha Qodesh left the haykal/ temple.
The seven seals, the seven trumpets and the seven bowls of wrath are synonymous and tied with each other in its fulfillment
Rev 16:17 And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice / QOL GADUL came out of the Dwelling Place/Haykal of the heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Rev 16:18 And there came to be voices/ qolot and thunders/ ramyam and lightnings/ ba raqyam.And there came to be a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not came to be since men were on the earth.
The Rev 16:17-18 passage says the great voice came from the throne saying IT IS DONE which will happen at the end and this time we are given additional information that this earthquake is great (gadul raash) which never happened since man was on earth and this time the hail also mentioned is weight of a talent (kakikar barad)
Rev 16:20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Rev 16:21 And great hail from the heaven fell upon men, every hailstone about the weight of a talent. And men blasphemed Elohim for the plague of the hail, because that plague was exceedingly great.
Speaking of the hail, we are told the Abeny(Stones) fell from the shamayim
Exo 9:18 “See, tomorrow about this time I am causing very *heavy hail/ kabad barad* to rain down, such as has not been in Mitsrayim, from the day of its founding until now.
We can tie up the kabad barad (great/esteemed hail)
With Revelation 11 passage as the two witnesses lie dead on the streets of the great city called as Sodom and Mitsrayim (Egypt)
Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Seḏom and Mitsrayim, where also our Master was impaled,
And the kabad barad (great/esteemed hail /barad) is mentioned in this context and it was the 7th Messenger which sounded (last trumpet) which is tied to the Rev 16 7th bowl poured into the air.
Rev 11:19 And the Dwelling Place of Elohim was opened in the heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His Dwelling Place. And there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and *great hail/ kabad barad*
When Yahuah came down on Mount Choreb there was a similar sight
Exo 19:16 And it came to be, on the third day in the morning, that there were Voices/ Qolot and lightnings/ baraqyam and a thick cloud on the mountain. And a voice/qol of a shophar was exceedingly loud and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
Exo 20:18 And all the people heard the voices / qolot the lightning flashes/lappidim the voice of the shophar, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance,
Exo 20:19 and said to Mosheh, “You speak with us and we hear, but let not Elohim speak with us, lest we die.”
Exo 19:18 And Mount Sinai was in smoke, all of it, because יהוה descended upon it in fire. And its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly.
Exo 19:19 And when a voice of the shophar sounded long and became very strong, Mosheh spoke, and Elohim answered him by voice/qol
Yahuah on Mount Sinai came down to covenant with Yasharal so though Sinai quaked, the great earthquake and the great hail is missing as this wasn’t a judgment but a covenant binding
But the sight was so terrifying so much as so Masha said He extremely quaked when he saw the sight
In the Rev 16 passage we see the qol/voice from the throne saying IT IS DONE
The seventh messenger poured out his bowl into the air and great Babylon came to His remembrance
Rev 16:19 And the great city became divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Baḇel was remembered before Elohim, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
Why was Babel brought to remembrance before Yahuah?
For this we must understand the flying scroll which was suspended between heaven and earth
Zec 5:1 And I lifted up my eyes again, and looked and saw a flying scroll.
Zec 5:9 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked and saw two women, coming with the wind in their wings. And they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ěphah-measure between earth and the heavens.
Ephah was a measure used to measure wheat and barley in the sacrifices and inside this ephah measure ZacharYah saw a woman seated who is called wickedness
Zec 5:7 “And see, a lead cover lifted up, and this: a woman sitting inside the ěphah-measure!”
Zec 5:8 And he said, “This is Wrongness!” And he threw her down into the ěphah-measure, and threw the lead weight over its mouth.
This ephah measure was taken to build it a house in Shinar which is Babylon
Zec 5:10 Then I said to the messenger who was speaking to me, “Where are they taking the ěphah-measure?”
Zec 5:11 And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shin‛ar. And it shall be established and set there on its own base.”
The woman Babel started to sit within Yerushalayim s sacrificial system which eventually resulted in Yahuah’s Ruach departure from the Haykal when the Ruach of Mashiyach left His body at His death. Now let’s come back to the Rev 11 passage
The truthful witness which traditionalists teach as Elijah and Enoch (which is false as both are dead and awaiting the resurrection) was killed and symbolically the great city Yerushalayim is likened to Sodom and Mitsrayim and the pattern was gathered into the shamayim followed by a great earthquake
Rev 11 passages are in two parts, one when the consummation of the covenant takes place and the other when the 7th Messenger sounds the trumpet
Mat 27:51 And see, the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,
Mat 27:52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the set-apart ones who had fallen asleep were raised,
Mat 27:53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they went into the set-apart city and appeared to many.
Mat 27:54 And when the captain and those with him, who were guarding יהושע, saw the earthquake and all that took place, they feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of Elohim!”
So there was an earthquake when Yahusha died.
Rev 11:13 And in that hour there came to be a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. And in the earthquake seven thousand men were killed, and the rest became afraid and gave esteem to the Elohim of the heaven.
Rev 11:12 And they heard a loud voice from the heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up into the heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them.
And there was this captain of the guard who stood glorifying Him to be the Son of Aluahym.
Rev 11:13 And in that hour there came to be a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. And in the earthquake seven thousand men were killed, and the rest became afraid and gave esteem to the Elohim of the heaven.
The seven thousand men killed are the ones chosen and identified as the count of Yahuah s chosen where number seven and thousand means completeness. They feared Yahuah and gave Him esteem. The ones in Rev 16 passage blasphemed Aluahym. They identified themselves with the death of Yahusha ha Mashiyach. Remember the Divine response to AlaYahu that Yahuah has reserved for Himself 7000 who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
Even 10th of the city fell is a term to show the one tenth portion of His people Yahuah kept for Himself
See how Yahusha in His testimony has put pointers to help us travel to the truth
And the pointer is the same as we saw the Messenger in Rev 8 did. He took the fire from the slaughter offering (altar) and cast it to the earth showing that the earthly tabernacle no longer needed to exist as it’s consumed by the heavenly pattern
Didn’t Yahusha say on the stake “ It is accomplished “ showing He is the heavenly pattern and the earthly which stood in meats and drinks and sacrifices stood completed in His one sacrifice
Joh 19:30 So when יהושע took the sour wine He said, “It has been accomplished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
Rev 16 and Rev 11 the second half (when 7th Messenger blew the trumpet) is the consummation of the heavenly pattern in reconciliation of revelation of who Yahusha is as the voice/qol came from the throne saying “It is done”
Rev 16:17 And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the Dwelling Place of the heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
And we already saw the bowl was poured in the air where we saw Babel tried to influence as the Tower of Babel reaching the sky
And we saw the ephah measure suspended between heaven and earth (ha shamayim and ha arets) in which Babel the woman who says “ I sit as a Queen and am no Widow” ie. Wickedness sits in the midst of the ephah
Now some interesting historical facts that happened post the Ruach departure from the Haykal when Yahusha cried out with a loud voice and gave up His Ruach , which we saw the consummation of the earthly pattern
I would like to quote what happened post this from the Jewish Talmud which the early rabbis wrote as they discerned the fall of the Haykal before 70AD
You may read the portion here:
http://www.yashanet.com/library/temple/yoma39.htm
Our Rabbis taught: In the year in which Simeon the Righteous died, he foretold them that he would die. They said: Whence do you know that? He replied: On every Day of Atonement an old man, dressed in white, wrapped in white, would join me, entering [the Holy of Holies] and leaving [it] with me, but today I was joined by an old man, dressed in black, wrapped in black, who entered, but did not leave, with me. After the festival [of Sukkoth] he was sick for seven days and [then] died. His brethren [that year] the priests forbore to mention the Ineffable Name in pronouncing the [priestly] blessing.4 Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple the lot [‘For the Lord’] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white; nor did the westernmost light shine; and the doors of the Hekal would open by themselves, until R. Johanan b. Zakkai rebuked them, saying: Hekal, Hekal, why wilt thou be the alarmer thyself?5 I know about thee that thou wilt be destroyed, for Zechariah ben Ido has already prophesied concerning thee:6 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.7
R. Isaac b. Tablai said: Why is its8 name called Lebanon? Because it makes white the sins of Israel. R. Zutra b. Tobiah said: Why is it called ‘Forest’, as it is written: The house of the forest of Lebanon?9 To tell you that just as a forest produces sprouts, so does the Temple. For R. Hosea said:10 When Solomon built the Sanctuary, he planted therein all sorts of precious golden trees, which brought forth fruit in their season. When the wind blew against them, their fruits would fall down, as it is said: May his fruit rustle like Lebanon.11 They were a source of income for the priesthood. But as soon as the idolaters entered the Hekal, they dried up, as it is said: And the flower of Lebanon languisheth.12 And the Holy One, blessed be He, will restore it to us, as it is said: It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice, even with joy and singing, the glory of Lebanon shall be given to it.13 Our Rabbis taught:14 Ten times did the high priest pronounce the [Ineffable] Name on that day: Three times at the first confession, thrice at the second confession, thrice in connection with the he-goat to be sent away, and once in connection with the lots. And it already happened that when he pronounced the Name, his voice was heard even unto Jericho.15 Rabbah b. Bar Hana said: From Jerusalem to Jericho it is a distance of ten parasangs. The turning hinges of the Temple doors were heard throughout eight Sabbath limits.16 The goats in Jericho used to sneeze because of the odour of the incense. The women in Jericho did not have to perfume themselves, because of the odour of the incense. The bride in Jerusalem did not have to perfume herself because of the odour of the incense. R. Jose b. Diglai said: My father had goats on the mountains of Mikwar17 and they used to sneeze because of the odour of the incense. R. Hiyya b. Abin said in the name of R. Joshua b. Karhah: An old man told me: Once I walked towards Shiloh18 and I could smell the odour of the incense [coming] from its walls.
The Story of the Prophet Iddo (also called the Midrash of the Prophet Iddo[1] and Visions of Iddo the Seer) is a lost work mentioned in the Bible, attributed to the biblical prophet Iddo who lived at the time of King Rehoboam.
The book is described at 2 Chronicles 9:29, relating to the acts of Solomon:
"Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?"
The book is also described at 2 Chronicles 13:22, relating to relating to acts of Abijah:
"And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo."[4]
Nehemiah 12:16 and Zech 1:1 tell us that Zechariah the Prophet was a son of Iddo. And Zechariah returned to the land from Captivity.
The Talmud mentions Iddo the prophets descendant ZacharYah who prophesied
Zec 11:1 Open your doors, O Leḇanon, and let fire devour your cedars.
Zec 11:2 Howl, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, because the mighty are ravaged. Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has come down.
Deu 11:24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads is yours: from the wilderness, and Leḇanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the Western Sea is your border.
Psa 92:12 The righteous one flourishes like a palm tree, He grows like a cedar in Leḇanon.
Lebanon was taken up as a land into Yasharal’s inheritance and was known for its tall cedar trees
Psa 29:5 The voice/qol of יהוה is breaking the cedars, יהוה is breaking the cedars of Leḇanon in pieces.
The qol of Yahuah is said to be breaking the cedars of Lebanon
Son 3:9 Sovereign Shelomoh made himself A litter of the wood of Leḇanon;
Son 3:10 He made its posts of silver, Its support of gold, its seat of purple, Within it was decked with love By the daughters of Yerushalayim.
The Sovereign Shelemoh used a lot of cedars of Lebanon in building the house of Yahuah and his plantations of fruitful trees which blossomed the entire sanctuary
ZacharYah prophesied against it fall and that’s what their Talmud says. While many things in Talmud which are false and Jewish fables and is not scripture, their historical accounts cannot be denied
The Yoma 39b portion let’s us know that on Day of Atonement the lots cast for the scapegoats (at the time of Yahusha s breath departing from his body which we saw the veil torn) the lot as in yearly sacrifice didn’t come in the right hand of the High Priest. The doors of the haykal which were closed at night would automatically open and they understood the Haykal was on the verge of destruction as ZacharYah prophesied
Zec 11:1 Open your doors, O Leḇanon, and let fire devour your cedars.
There was a scarlet thread by which the red heifer / scapegoat was tied to the mikphad altar
Remember the same place the red heifer was also sacrificed and it’s ashes mixed in water would purify the cleansed lepers or those healed of skin diseases to allow them entry into the Haykal
This was done with pair of doves as well for the poor
Lev 14:4 The priest shall order two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet wool, and hyssop to be brought for him who is to be cleansed. 14:5 The priest shall order one of the birds slaughtered over fresh water in an earthen vessel; 14:6 and he shall take the live bird, and also the cedar wood, the scarlet wool, and the hyssop, and dip them together with the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the fresh water. 14:7 He shall then sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed of the eruption and cleanse him; and he shall set the live bird free in the open country.
According to the Mishnah’s account, the thread was tied to the scapegoat twice. First, it was tied immediately following the casting of the lot for the two goats (m. Yoma 4:2; Danby):
He bound a thread of crimson wool on the head of the scapegoat and he turned it towards the way by which it was to be sent out.
Lev 16:8 Aaron shall place lots upon the two goats, one marked for Yahuah and the other marked for Azazel.
Psa 118:27 יהוה is Ěl, and He gave us light; Bind the festival offering With cords to the horns of the slaughter-place.
The scapegoat tied to the horns of the altar with a scarlet thread would turn white they say but post the death of Mashiyach it remained red.
These sources demonstrate that this part of the scapegoat ritual does not reflect rabbinic imagination about the past, but was part of the practice in the Second Temple. While it is absent in the Torah, it might be included among the old local traditions that were preserved by Hellenistic Judaism—what Josephus calls the “tradition of the fathers” (παράδοσις τῶν πατέρων) (Ant. 13.297) and the Sages call a tradition or oral law that possess little or no basis in Scripture (m. Ḥag. 1:8; cf. t. Ḥag. 1:9; Sifre Deut 335).
Many of the apostles who wrote their letters and even Shaul wrote with inspiration of the Ruach to refute and show the judgment of Yahuah on Rabbinical Judaism, the very wine of Hagar the current carnal Torah seekers have gone to drink
The apostle Yahuchanan wrote the Book of Revelation around 95-96 CE
And when He mentions that he saw the Dwelling place in the shamayim opened in Rev 11:19 he shows the beginning of the destruction of the earthly house or pattern of the Haykal which is consumed by the heavenly pattern who is Mashiyach Himself
The Ark of the Covenant made bare as the veil torn from top to bottom
And this followed by the judgment of voices which show that they are dispersed into confusion just as many are running to and fro after abominable books to gather more fleshly information
Remember when Yahuah came down on Mount Sinai, the elders and heads of the people heard His GADUL VOICE
Deu 5:23 “And it came to be, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders,
Deu 5:24 and said, ‘See, יהוה our Elohim has shown us His esteem and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. Today we have seen that Elohim speaks with man – and he lives!
And the elders pleaded with Masha that they no longer hear His voice/ qol lest they die
Whereas Yasharal heard just voices
Exo 20:18 And all the people perceived the voices/qolot (plural) the lightning flashes, the voice of the shophar, and the mountain smoking. And the people saw it, and they trembled and stood at a distance,
While the final 7th bowl is poured on the air and the 7th Messenger sounds the trumpet, “It is done” as Yahuah gathers at the completion of time to gather together all in Mashiyach both which are in the heavens and which are on the earth
Eph 1:10 to administer at the completion of time, to gather together in one all in Messiah, both which are in the heavens and which are on earth, in Him,
2Co 5:1 For we know that if the tent of our earthly house is destroyed, we have a building from Elohim, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens.
2Co 5:2 For indeed in this we groan, longing to put on our dwelling which is from heaven,
And this is when we are transformed into His image and likeness with a glorified body
Babylon which is earthly Yerushalayim with her carnal children occupying the principalities and powers of the heavenly scroll will be brought to ruin
The ark of the covenant is a measure of completion of Torah
Exo 25:10 “And they shall make an ark of acacia wood two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
The ark was made of shittim wood, H7848 from its scourging thorns
Joh 19:1 Then, therefore, Pilate took יהושע and flogged/ba shuttayam Him.
We know what was within the ark of the covenant
The two tablets of stone, the rod of Aharon that budded and the pot of manna which are elements that point to Mashiyach
Heb 10:19 So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of יהושע,
Heb 10:20 by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
When his flesh was torn apart by the shittim wood raw thorns, we who see Yahuah in Him ( entering through the veil of His flesh into the Most Set Apart place) see the fullness of the fulfillment of the pattern in him
For the rest remains the voices, lightning, great earthquake and great hail
Shalum !
