REFLECTION OF MESSIAH IN THE TABERNACLE

0 Comments
 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.   For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.--Matthew 5:16-18 (KJV)



Concerning the pre-existence of Jesus, a.k.a. Yeshuah:
Whatever is in the mind of YHVH exists.  What is in his mind may not come to pass for many eons, yet it exists.  His Son, Yeshuah, was conceived in YHVH's mind thousands of years before he was born.  Reflections of Yeshuah are in the furnishings of the tabernacle and in scenes of heaven described in the Bible.


Isaiah 14:24—“YHVH of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:” 
 
John 1:1-5—"In the beginning was the Divine Expression, and the Divine Expression was withYHVH (Yahavah) Elohim, and the Divine Expression was YHVH (Yahavah) Elohim. 
The same was in the beginning with YHVH (Yahavah) Elohim. All things were made by
 reason of  him and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not."

Application:  So it is with the birth of Jesus.  Jesus existed from the beginning in the mind and plan (Word or Divine Expression) of his father, YHVH.  Jesus is the reason for everything created by YHVH.  The Elohim of Genesis is YHVH as explained in Genesis
1:4— "These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YHVH (Yahavah) Elohim made the earth and the heavens,"  

The images shown below are evidence that Jesus himself was not in heaven with his father except in YHVH's plan and purpose for him and all of creation.  Jesus descended as the Divine Expression of YHVH to be conceived from the mind (Divine Expression) of YHVH into the womb of the virgin by the power of the Spirit (breath [ruach] or person) of YHVH.

Was Jesus ever the Angel of the Lord?
According to the Bible, Jesus as a human, was below the angels as shown in:
Psa 8:5— For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.  

Jesus, as the Son of YHVH Elohim, is also Elohim:
Psalm 45:6-7—Your throne, O Elohim (the Son), [is] for ever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom [is] a right scepter.You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore Elohim (the Son), Elohim (the Father),has anointed you with the oil of rejoicing above your fellows.
And in Rev. 1:1— The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him (Jesus), to show unto his  servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he (Jesus) sent and signified it by his angel (the angel of the Lord) unto his servant John.


THE LAMPSTAND


To understand these lampstands, one must follow the trail of descriptions.  They are first described as part of the furnishings for the Tabernacle in Exodus 25:31-30. 

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ:
  1)  1:13—the Son of Man walks among them
  2)  1:20—the lampstand is the seven churches
  3)  2:1—again, Jesus walks among them
  4)  4:5—the seven lamps are the seven Spirits
  5)  5:6—the seven Spirits are the eyes of YHVH gone out into all the earth
  6)  11:4—the lampstands are before the Lord of the earth

The lampstand as described in Exodus 25 represents the gospel message of Jesus Christ and everything we need to know about the relationship between Father, Son, and believers.

  •  The whole lampstand represents the fullness of the Spirit in the Church [Body of Christ] (Revelation 1:20)
      o  Renewed relationship with YHVH by his Spirit through Jesus Christ (born again—John 3:1-20)

  •  The center stem and bowl represents the infinite Spirit of YHVH

  •  The seven bowls represent the seven Spirits of YHVH (Isaiah 11:1-3)
  1.       The Spirit of YHVH
  2.       The spirit of wisdom (Proverbs 8 and 9)
  3.       The spirit of understanding (Proverbs 8:13-15)
  4.       The spirit of counsel (Proverbs 19:20-21)
  5.       The spirit of strength (Proverbs 10:29)
  6.       The spirit of knowledge (Proverbs 11:9)
  7.       The spirit of the fear of YHVH (Proverbs 14:27-28; 15:33; 16:6; 19:23; 23:17)

  •  The four bowls represents the four aspects of Christ’s ministry seen, also, in Ezekiel’s Four Living Creatures
        (Ezekiel Chapter 1)
      *  Face of a man
          The son of man, Jesus Christ
      *  The face of bull or ox
          Jesus as the last High Priestly sacrifice of peace
      *  The face of a lion
           Jesus is the lion of Judah, King of all kings
      *  The face of an eagle
           YHVH protects his own as on the wings of an eagle.  The Spirit of YHVH comes through Jesus
                (Isaiah 40:31; Ezekiel 1:10; Revelation 4:7; 12:14)
