Hebrews 9
11 But when the
Messiah came as high priest of the good things that are now already
here, he went through (the veil/cloud) into the greater and more
perfect Spiritual Tabernacle that is not made with human
hands, that is to say, is not a part of this physical Creation.
Hebrews 8:5
The physical place where the Levitical Priesthood
serve is a copy and shadow of what is portrayed in The Heavenly
Scroll. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the
tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the
Spiritual pattern (in The Heavenly
Scroll) shown you on the mountain."
2
Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen
in the physical realm, but on what is unseen in the Spiritual Realm.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

From my book The Kingdom. In keeping with
Scripture, progressive revelation, physical to Spiritual parallels, and
transposition (the keys to studying Scripture), I will illustrate that
Yahuah designed the physical Temple of Solomon in the previous covenants
as a shadow picture or physical representation of the Spiritual temple
in the Kingdom of Yahuah. y to Yahusha as Eternal High Priest:
That Spiritual Truth, alluded to by the design of the physical Temple
of Yahuah, was that Yahuah’s Temple is the Spiritual bodies of the sons
of Yahuah. This fact was the meaning behind Yahusha’s declaration that
he would tear down the Temple and raise it again in 3 days. The “Temple”
the Messiah was referring to is his transposed Spiritual body. The Bible
confirms that the resurrection of the Messiah was, in fact, the
beginning of the construction of the true Temple of Yahuah as the
Messiah is the Chief Cornerstone.
We will examine the physical design of the Temple of Solomon
demonstrating the design was a divine physical portrait of the human
body. Then we will apply our understanding of “transposition” as it
relates to the Temple of Yahuah from the physical to the Spiritual
Realm. Once we have fully established that the Temple of Solomon was a
temporary physical structure illustrating a greater spiritual Truth to
come, we can fully understand the physical and spiritual state in which
Yahuah’s Temple now exists in the Kingdom of Yahuah. This is why Yahusha
did not serve the physical Temple in Jerusalem 2000 years ago as High
Priest. He served Yahuah in the “more perfect” Temple.
One evident physical to spiritual parallel is that both the
Tabernacle of Moses and the Temple of Solomon contained three distinct
and clearly defined sections. There was the Outer Court (Ulam), the
Inner Court or Holy Place (Hekal), and the Holy of Holies or Most Holy
Place (Beit HaMikdash).
These three sections find perfect correspondence to man as he is also
a tri-part being consisting of body, soul and spirit. The Apostle Sha’ul
was speaking of our body temples below and the physical to spiritual
parallel of the Temple:
I Thessalonians 5:23
Now may
the God of peace Himself (Yahuah)
sanctify you (His Temple) entirely;
and may your spirit (Holy of Holies)
and soul (Inner Court) and body (Outer
Court) be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of
our King Yahusha the Messiah.
The layout of the outer Temple also points to the final Spiritual
Temple… the sons of Yahuah.
The
section to the left is taken from Tony Badillo’s website
http://www.templesecrets.info/.
The Temple of Solomon was a physical portrait of a human body
(physical to spiritual parallel). The picture to the left is the temple
floor plan as seen from looking at the Temple from above. It is
transformed into a figure of the Zadok High Priest.
The point here is that the physical Temple that existed in the
previous covenants prior to the 7th Yahushaic Covenant was designed as a
physical metaphor or “shadow-picture” or portrait. The Temple of Solomon
was a physical shadow designed to teach us the greater Spiritual Truth
found in the Messiah that the Temple of Yahuah is our body.
This spiritual Truth concerning the state of the Temple of Yahuah is
a consistent theme in Scripture which clearly defines the Temple of
Yahuah as the human body in the Yahushaic Covenant:
John 2
19 Yahusha answered
and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in three days I will
raise it up. 20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this
temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21 But
he spoke of the temple of his body.
Hebrews 8:2
and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by
Yahuah, not by man.
Acts 7:48
However the
most High does not dwell in temples made with hands.
2 Corinthians 5:1
Now we
know that if the earthly sukkot we live in is dismantled, we have a
building from Yahuah, an eternal house in the Spiritual Realm (Heaven),
not built by human hands.
I Corinthians 6:19
Do you
not know that your body is a Temple of the Spirit of Yahuah who is
in you, whom you have from Yahuah?
II Corinthians 6:16
What
agreement has the Temple of Yahuah with idols? For we are the temple
of the living God; just as Yahuah said, “I will dwell in them
and walk among them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My
people.”
Ephesians 2:19-22
19 So then
you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens
with the saints, and are of Yahuah’s household, a Spiritual Temple
having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
the Messiah Yahusha Himself being the corner stone, in whom the
whole Spiritual structure, being fitted together is growing into a
Holy Temple of Yahuah; in whom you also are being built together
into a dwelling of Yahuah in the Spirit Realm (the
Kingdom of Yahuah).
I Peter 2:5
You also, as
living stones, are being built up as a spiritual dwelling of Yahuah
(Temple)…
We see this Spiritual Truth clearly in Revelation as the “physical
Temple” was not seen in New Jerusalem, but rather that Temple is now
spiritually comprised of the sum total of the risen sons of Yahuah:
Revelation 21
22 I did not
see a temple in the city, because (the
sons of) Yahuah Almighty (are the
living stones) and the Lamb (who is
the Chief Cornerstone) are its temple.
In The Yahushaic Covenant, all physical shadows find their final
fulfillment in the Spiritual Realm. In that realm, the Spiritual Kingdom
of Yahuah, the Ark of the Covenant has been transposed from physical to
Spiritual. The hearts/minds of the sons of Yahuah are now the Ark of the
Covenant.
As we see, in the Yahushaic Covenant, the Torah or "Law" or
"Commandments/Instructions" are now contained within our "heart" which
is now the spiritual Ark of the Covenant:
Romans 2:14-15
14 Indeed,
when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required
by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not
have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are
written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and
their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even
defending them.
Inside each of us, is the spiritual equivalent of the physical
portrait of the Ark of the Covenant! The tablets of the Law of Yahuah as
given to Moses... Aaron's staff, and a portion of Manna (bread from
Heaven). Sha’ul lists the physical items found within the physical Ark
of the Covenant:
Hebrews 9:4
4 which had the
golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant.
This ark contained the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had
budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant is within each of us in the Kingdom of
Yahuah. The blood of Yahusha, the Passover Lamb, is poured on top of the
Ark spiritually inside us to cover our sins as we keep Passover in light
of Yahusha’s sacrifice.
Inside the Ark (in our heart) is:
-
The Commands of Yahuah.
They are “written on our hearts” or placed inside the Ark of the
Covenant. We keep them out of love.
-
The
staff of Aaron.

We are fed spiritually “manna from Heaven” as we are filled with the
Spirit of Yahuah
Next, we will continue to define the “Kingdom which is within us and
in our midst”. We will look at the Altar in the Spiritual Kingdom of God
and the Spiritual sacrifices offered on that Altar.
Hebrews 8:2
A minister of
the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched,
and not man.
Hebrews 9:23,24
It was
therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the Heavens
should be purified with these; but the Heavenly things themselves
with better sacrifices than these…
Acts 26:18
To Spiritually open their physical eyes, and to
turn them from the darkness of the physical realm to the
light of the Spiritual Realm, and from the power of the
god of this physical realm Satan unto Yahuah the God of
Spiritual Creation, that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance (of the Universe)
among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Hebrews 8:5
The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in the
Spiritual Realm (Heaven). This is
why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See
to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown (in
The Heavenly Scroll) to you on the mountain."
The physical Altar was transposed to the Spiritual Kingdom of Yahuah
in The Yahushaic Covenant and exists now in the hearts and minds of His
Final Temple… the Spiritual Bodies of His sons. It is still very much a
“working altar” with the proper daily oblation (daily sacrifices) and
gifts and offerings being offered up to Yahuah in those Chosen Few by
The Ruling Zadok High Priest.
In fact, it is still in keeping and putting our faith in Passover
that Yahusha (as the Eternal Zadok High Priest) faithfully makes the
proper sacrifices before the throne of Yahuah on the Altar in the
Spiritual Realm. Expressing our faith in Passover by keeping it
is the spiritual equivalent of physically “sacrificing a lamb”.
As we keep Passover in faith, Yahusha’s “blood” is poured out on the
altar of our hearts and minds as the “daily oblation”. This act in the
Spiritual Realm covers the death decrees in the Law that held us captive
to the fear of death delivering eternal life.
We see below, Yahusha set the righteous example of keeping Passover
and the significance of keeping Passover going forward in “remembrance”
or “faith” in him. We see Yahusha clearly say the Passover will find its
fulfillment spiritually in
the Kingdom of Yahuah and
only then will Yahusha eat Passover again with us in the Spiritual Realm
(Kingdom).
Luke 22
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread
on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 Yahusha sent Peter and John, saying,
“Go and make preparations for us to eat the
Passover.” 14 When the hour
came, Yahusha and his apostles reclined at the table.
15 And he said to them,
“I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with
you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I
will not eat it again until it (Passover)
finds fulfillment in the Spiritual Kingdom of Yahuah.”
17 After taking
the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take
this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell
you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the
Kingdom of Yahuah comes (which is not of
this physical realm).” 19
And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them,
saying, “This (Passover
meal) is my body given for you; do this (keep
Passover) in remembrance of me (Yahusha
commands us to keep Passover in the Yahushaic Covenant and that is
how we express our faith in him).”
20 In the same way, after supper he
took the cup, saying, “This (Passover)
cup is the new covenant in my blood (the
Yahushaic Covenant was consummated by blood on the Passover),
which is poured out for you. 21 And I
confer on you a Spiritual kingdom (we
are co-heirs), just as my Father conferred one on me (His
Kingdom), 30 so that you may eat and
drink (Passover) at my table in my
Spiritual kingdom (Passover is kept
in the Kingdom of Yahuah) and sit on thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.
The Apostle Sha’ul confirms that Passover is kept as we put our faith
in the sacrifice of Yahusha thereby his blood is spread over
the Altar of Yahuah (in
our hearts and minds) covering our sin:
1 Corinthians 11
23 For I received from the
King what I also passed on to you: Yahusha the Messiah, on the night
he was betrayed, took bread,
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said,
“This (Passover
meal) is my body, which is for you; do this (keep
Passover) in remembrance (faith)
of me.” 25 In the
same way, after supper he took the cup, saying,
“This (Passover)
cup is the new covenant (the transposition
of Passover literally inaugurated
the Yahushaic Covenant)
in my blood; do this (keep Passover),
whenever you drink it, in remembrance (faith
in) of me.” 26
For whenever (once a year as commanded by
Yahuah) you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim (your
faith, which is the spiritual sacrifice, in) the
King’s death until he comes (and his blood
is poured out over the Altar of your heart) to receive us
into The Spiritual Realm through transposition.
27 So
then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the King’s in an
unworthy manner (eating ham on Easter for
example, violating Yahuah’s command and Yahusha’s instruction to
keep Passover) will be guilty of sinning (you
will not have the proper sacrifice for sin offered by the eternal
High Priest on Yahuah’s altar which is your heart and mind)
against the body and blood of the King.
28 Everyone ought to examine
themselves (purify
the Altar of Yahuah)
before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup.
29 For those who eat and
drink without discerning (that) the
body of the Messiah (is the Passover Lamb
not the Easter pig) eat and drink judgment on themselves
(because the blood is only poured out to
cover sin on the Altars of those who keep Passover)
Above, Sha’ul is talking about examining ourselves before we keep
Passover as we too are Passover Lambs without spot or blemish (Ephesians
5:27).
He is speaking of the
physical to spiritual parallel
of ritually cleansing the Altar in the Torah:
Holman Bible Dictionary
http://www.studylight.org/dic/hbd/view.cgi?number=T5157
The
altar for sacrifice was purified so that it would be prepared for
worship (Leviticus 8:15;
Ezekiel 43:26 ). The objects
of gold used in the tabernacle and Temple were also pure in this
sense; this would be true of the incense in
Exodus 37:29. The Levites
were to purify themselves for service in the tabernacle (Numbers
8:21). When that which was unclean or impure came into
contact with that which was holy, danger resulted and could even
lead to death. This is probably the background for the preparation
made for the theophany, a manifestation of Yahuah's presence, in
Exodus 19:1 and for the
death of Uzzah when he was unprepared (not purified) to touch the
ark of the covenant, a most holy object (
2 Samuel 6:1-11 ). Malachi
1:11-12 contrasts the pure offerings of Gentiles with
blemished offerings given by Yahuah's people; such a state
necessitated purification ( Malachi
3:3-4). Purity qualified one to participate in worship, an
activity central to the life of ancient Israel. Breaking that purity
was a serious matter.
Isaiah gives us a glimpse of this very truth. We learn that in the
Spiritual Kingdom of Yahuah, we will turn our eyes directly to the Holy
One of Israel not “physical altars made with our hands and fingers”:
Isaiah 17
In that day (in
the future Kingdom of Yahuah) people will look to their Maker
and turn their eyes to Yahuah, the Holy One of Israel.
8 They will not look to the (physical)
altars, the (altars made with the)
work of their hands…
This spiritual truth
concerning the
Altar of Yahuah was the
reason why Yahuah commanded the
physical altar was not to be made of “stone” cut by human hands but
only by stones cut by Yahuah:
Exodus 20:25
'If you make an
altar of stones for me, do not build it with cut stones, for you
will defile it if you use a tool on it.'
Why such restrictions on the construction of the physical altar?
Because the physical altar was pointing to the reality that the physical
altar was a shadow picture of the human heart and mind which was not
made by man but by Yahuah Himself. The physical stones in the physical
altar were a
physical to spiritual parallel
designed to teach us this fact:
I Peter 2:5
You also, as
living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house…
The Holy of Holies in the physical temple was designed after the “Throne
in Heaven”. The Holy of Holies contains 8 Seraphs, the Throne/Ark of
the Covenant enclosed by a veil. The Throne in Heaven, however, has the
image of a man wearing a crown and Turban standing behind the Throne.
The High Priest wearing a crown/turban would enter through the veil and
complete the the Throne in Heaven… on Earth.
In
this teaching, we are going to examine the design of the physical temple
and demonstrate that it is a representation of the center of The
Heavenly Scroll (The Enoch Zodiac) which in the midst/middle is the
Throne in Heaven.
This is The Throne in (the middle of the) Heaven(ly Throne).
What we have, that must be found on the Earthly Throne (the Ark of the
Covenant) is:
-
Melchi Tsedek – the Zadok High Priest wearing The Crown of the Son
of Man (emanating 6 radiant projections)
-
4
Seraphim surrounding the Throne the prophets called Living Creatures
with 6 Wings
-
4
Seraphim on the outer edges of the Throne
-
The Throne itself
-
The 7 Candlestick Menorah
We
are going to examine the above list found in The Heavenly Scroll and
compare it to the design of the Most Holy Place where the Ark of the
Covenant was placed. We will discover the Truth, that the physical
Temple is a reflection of Yahuah’s Abode in Heaven called The Throne in
Heaven.
In
the center of The Heavenly Scroll, the man is wearing a crown (turban)
on his head. There is a golden ring of fire sitting directly on his
head below the 6 pointed crown. This is The Crown of the Son of Man as
the number of man is 6. We see Ezekiel describe this “crown of fire” on
his head:
Ezekiel 1
27 From the form of his waist upward, I saw the appearance of amber;
a brilliant whiteness with colors of fire; spectrum colors: red,
yellow, blue, etc., with the presence of
fire surrounding its head;
The crown is then topped with 6 brilliant emanations indicating it is
The Son of Man.
This “crown” is what adorns the head of the Zadok Priesthood (High
Priests) as the physical High Priests were a “stand in” for the coming
Eternal Zadok High Priest represented in The Heavenly Scroll. This
“crown” is also known as the Turban of the High Priest and as we see
below, the golden crown is the “fire” which sits below the Turban. This
is The Golden Crown of the High Priest representing the Crown of Fire on
the head of Melchi Tsedek in The Heavenly Scroll.
The Temple itself as a whole was designed after the man on the Throne in
Heaven, the priestly chambers are the Crown of the Son of Man also
called the Turban.
All the prophets in Scripture witnessed what is known as 6 winged
Seraphs surrounding the Throne and on the outer ring in Heaven.
Revelation 4
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and
voices; and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne
(The Heavenly Menorah), which
signify and represent the complete plan of Yahuah (7-spirits/7
stars of Pleiades). 6 And before the throne there was a sea
of glass, like crystal (blackness of space).
And in the middle of the throne, AND surrounding the throne, were
four living creatures (8 total Seraphs).
Seraphs are the SYMBOL of The Heavenly Scroll.
h8314. Saraph
From saraph; burning, i.e. (figuratively) poisonous (serpent);
specifically, a saraph or symbolical creature (from their copper
color) -- fiery (serpent), seraph.
As
we see in Strong’s above, they have a copper color as seen in The
Heavenly Scroll. We see below, there are 4 on the outer rim and 4 in
the middle Throne Room.
Each of these Seraphs have 6 wings and as we see in the Throne in Heaven
they are singing “Holy, Holy, Holy”
Revelation 4
8
And each of the four living creatures (surrounding
the Throne) had six wings, they were full of eyes around and
within; and they did not cease day and night, saying: Holy, holy,
holy, Father Yahuah Almighty,
This
is what is represented in The Heavenly Scroll, we see the mouths of the
Seraphs open singing “Holy Holy Holy” above.
Now, look at the Seraphs surrounding
the “throne/ark” in the Temple. Notice how they have two wings pointing
upward and two sets covering their bodies.
Ezekiel 1
11 This was the description of their faces. Then two of the wings of
the four Seraphs spread upward, one touching the wing tip of another
creature on either side; and 2 sets of wings (double
what spread upward) covered their bodies.
Then notice if you were looking right at that Seraph (the image below is
of the side) all you would see is the “tips” of the other two wings
sticking out, as the rest is covering in front of their bodies. Looking
right at them in front, you would see two large wings and two “tips”
sticking out AT THE BOTTOM.
In
the physical Temple there are actually 8 Seraphs represented. We were
never told about the 2 standing next to the Ark, making 4 surrounding
the Ark just like the center throne of the Enoch Zodiac singing Holy
Holy Holy…. But what about the other 4 on the outer ring. Where are THEY
represented in the Temple?
We
see the 4 Seraphs surrounding the throne, the two on the wings of the
Ark and then the two standing beside it.
If
you look on the back wall at the top in the previous image, you see two
more painted above it making 6 total in the Holy of Holies. When the
Veil is drawn to expose the throne, we see 2 more Seraphs on the curtain
to represent the 4 on the outer ring giving us 4 on the top and 4 on the
bottom.
If we were ever taught properly the design of the Temple Throne Room,
we would see 8 Seraphs, 4 before the throne (center of the Enoch Zodiac)
and 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom (wall and curtain) as in the outer
ring of The Enoch Zodiac.
Depending on how you look at it, the two on the Ark and the two on the
curtain represent the 4 in the center of the Enoch Zodiac. The two on
the back wall and two beside the Ark could represent the 4 on the outer
ring of The Enoch Zodiac. There are 8 Seraphs in the Temple surrounding
the Throne in the Holy of Holies, as it was designed per the Throne in
Heaven (The Heavenly Scroll) exactly what all the prophets “saw”.
We
see “in Heaven” there is a 7 candlestick Heavenly Menorah.
Revelation 4
5
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and thunderings, and
voices; and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the
throne, which signify and represent the complete plan of Yahuah
(7-spirits/7 stars of Pleiades).
This is an artist rendition of what John described.
We
see the 4 Seraphs before the Throne, the man sitting on the throne, and
the Menorah in front of the Throne. This was also reflected in the
physical Temple.
The physical Temple was a depiction of Yahuah’s Throne which is in The
Heavenly Scroll.
Isaiah 66:1
This is what Yahuah says: "Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my
footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my
resting place be?
Romans 7:22
For I joyfully
delight in the law of God in my inner self (being
written on our heart or “inside us” - Jeremiah 31:33).
Jeremiah 31:33
"But this is the covenant
I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares
Yahuah. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their
hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
In the book of Hebrews, we see the Apostle Sha’ul address the reality
that, instead of the Law being abolished, the Law has literally been
transposed to Spiritual Kingdom of God to Yahusha to serve in the role
of Melchizedek the Eternal High Priest. For a detailed examination of
The Law, please read my book The Law and the Pauline
Doctrine.
Buy Now!
The main point I want to establish here is that the Law pertaining to
the High Priesthood that gives authority to offer sacrifices on the
Altar (the hearts/minds) on behalf of the sons of Yahuah has been
transposed to define the role and to give authority to Yahusha as
Eternal High Priest:
Hebrews 7:12
"for when there is a transfer (of
position from Earth to Heaven or transposition) of the
priestly office (of Levi to The Ruling
Zadok), out of necessity there is ALSO A TRANSFER of the LAW
of the priesthood (by which the Priesthood
has authority)"
And now, Yahusha as High Priest makes those sacrifices spiritually on
behalf of only those whose
faith is put in Passover in light of his sacrifice. That was the
entire “point” of the physical portrait of Passover. It was a rehearsal
designed to teach us the greater spiritual Truth found in Yahusha’s
sacrifice. We see below the description of Yahusha, the High Priest in
the Order of Zadok, being called by Yahuah to assume the role of making
sacrifices on behalf of men before Yahuah as the Eternal Spiritual High
Priest.
Sha’ul addresses how the Spiritual Law sets us free from the “Law of
Sin and Death” which is the letter of the Law with active death decrees
for disobedience.
Romans 8
1 Now there is no condemnation for those
in The Yahushaic Covenant. 2
For The Law of the Spirit of (Holiness
that leads to Eternal) Life (which
is the Spiritual Law with the death decrees covered by the blood of
the Passover Lamb) in (covenant
with) Yahusha the Messiah has made me free from The Law of
Sin and Death (which is the Letter of The
Law with active death decrees outside of The Yahushaic Covenant). 3
For what (the
letter of)
The Law could not do (bring
Eternal Life as Promised)
because The Law was made weak by our flesh (because
we broke the letter of The Law and the decrees in The Law condemned
us to death for disobedience),
Yahuah did (provided
Eternal Life as a free gift to those who try to keep the INTENT of
The Law)
by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (as
a man),
on account of sin (to
defeat it by living obedient to The Law and dying innocent thereby
breaking the curse of Adam):
Yahusha condemned sin in the flesh (making
The Law whole by fulfilling the Promise in The Law of Eternal Life
for Obedience to the ‘Intent’… Matthew 5:17), 4
that the Righteous requirement of The Law might be fulfilled inside
us
(through Mikveh, Ezekiel 36:25)
who do not walk according to the flesh (disobedient
to The Law) but according to the Spirit (ual
Intent and loving Obedience to The Law).
As we showed earlier, the sacrifices are made on behalf of those who
do this or keep Passover
in remembrance of his sacrifice:
Hebrews 5 - The Perfect Spiritual High Priest
1
For every high
priest taken from among men (Yahusha was a
man when chosen by Yahuah as heir to High Priest Yahusha III)
is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to Yahuah (the
High Priest, including Yahusha, is not Yahuah but is a
mediator), in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for
sins (this is Yahusha’s eternal role,
these offerings/sacrifices are defined in the Law which has
been transposed to serve him in
the Kingdom of Yahuah);
2 he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he
himself also is beset with weakness; 3 and because of it he is
obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so
also for himself. 4 And no one takes the honor to himself, but
receives it when he is called by Yahuah, even as Aaron was. 5 So
also (like every human High Priest)
Yahusha did not glorify himself so as to become a high priest (he
was chosen by blood in the Order of Zadok being the heir to Yahusha
III, he is the High Zadok or Melchizedek), but He who said to
Him
"YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";
6 just as He says also in another passage, "YOU ARE A KING FOREVER
IN THE ORDER OF ZADOK."
So now Yahusha is offering the daily oblation (sacrifice) for sin on
the Altar of Yahuah and
offers his slain body as the final Passover Sacrifice. The “Altar” has
not disappeared as many assume, and in error claim there are currently
no daily sacrifices being made.
The Altar and the sacrifices being made on it, are still alive and
very active in TRUE reality of the Spiritual Realm.
We see a “picture” of this spiritual reality in Revelation as Yahusha
is seen as
the Passover Lamb that
had been slain in on
the Altar of Yahuah in
Revelation 5.
Revelation 5
6 Then I saw (in
the Spiritual Realm – Revelation 1:11) a Lamb, looking as if
it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne (he
was describing The Throne in Heaven portrayed in The Heavenly Scroll)
11
“Worthy is the (spotless)
Lamb, who was slain (on Passover),
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and
glory and praise!”
So Yahusha as the Spiritual High Priest in the Spiritual Realm, is
offering his spiritual body as THE final Passover Lamb sacrifice for sin
before the throne of Yahuah
continually (daily oblation) now in
the Spiritual Kingdom of Yahuah.
This Altar is not the physical altar used by the physical priesthood of
Aaron and Levi. The Altar in
the Kingdom of Yahuah is
intimately connected spiritually throughout
the Temple of Yahuah,
which has been transposed, and now is the sum total of the sons of
Yahuah!
Psalms 51:17
"The (true) sacrifices of
Yahuah are a broken spirit (Spiritual);
(offered on) a broken and a
contrite heart (The True Altar),
0 Yahuah, thou wilt not despise."
The sacrifices and burnt-offerings were appointed to represent (physical
to spiritual parallels) the offering-up of our affections
to Yahuah. The animals offered by the physical shadow, whether lamb, or
ram, or goat, or bullock, were the
types of principles in the mind
of the worshipper. We offer these in loving devotion to Yahuah;
they are spiritually represented by the physical fire of the offering.
Yahuah’s acceptance of those offerings was declared by the words so
often used respecting the different sacrifices. "It is an offering made
by fire, of a sweet aroma unto Yahuah."-·Leviticus 3:5.
Animal sacrifices were always intended (as all things physical) as a
teaching tool whereby we can come to an understanding of spiritual
things i.e. physical to spiritual parallels. What Yahuah was teaching us
in these physical examples is what He truly desires spiritually:
Psalm 40:6-8
6 (Physical)
Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have
opened; (Physical) Burnt offering
and (Physical) sin offering You
have not required. 7
Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book in Heaven (The
Heavenly Scroll) it is written of me.
8 I delight to do Your will, O
my Elohim; Your Law is within my heart.”
Transposition of all things is the “key” to understanding this
physical world in which we live. The Apostle Sha’ul taught the
transposition of the Law as it related to physical sacrifices in
the Yahushaic Covenant:
Now, in The Yahushaic Covenant we are Living Spiritual Sacrifices
Hebrews 10
1 For the
Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come
and not the very form of things (the
very form of things is in the spirit not physical), can
never, by the same (physical)
sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect
those who draw near. 2
Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the
worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had
consciousness of sins? 3
But in those (physical)
sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.
4 For it is impossible for the
blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Therefore, when He comes
into the world, He says,
Psalm 40:6-8
“Sacrifice
and offering You have not desired,
But
a body You have prepared for
Me;
6
In
whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices
for sin You have taken no
pleasure.
7 “Then
I said, ‘Behold, I
have
come (In
the scroll of the book it is
written of Me)
To
do Your will, O
Elohim.’”
8 After
saying above, “Sacrifices
and offerings and
whole burnt offerings and
sacrifices
for sin You have not desired,
nor have You taken pleasure
in them” (which are offered
physically according to the Law until Yahusha came),
9 then He said, “Behold,
I
have come to do Your will.”
He (Yahusha) takes away (the
responsibility to offer physical sacrifices from) the first
in order (of the Levitical Priests)
to establish (the spiritual sacrifices in)
the second (order of the Eternal
Priesthood of Zadok).
10 By this will we have been sanctified through the (daily)
offering of the body of the Messiah Yahusha (who
was sacrificed) once for all (as
The Passover Lamb).
11 Every priest (of Levi)
stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same (physical)
sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12 but He (Yahusha
as Melchizedek the Spiritual High Priest), having offered one
(spiritual) sacrifice for sins for
all time (as he stands before the
spiritual Altar of Yahuah daily or continually as a Lamb that has
been slaughtered),
sat down at the right hand of
Yahuah,
13 waiting from that time
onward
until His enemies be made a
footstool for His feet.
14 For by one offering He has
perfected for all time those who are sanctified (because
he lives eternally offering his body as the daily sacrifice before
Yahuah). 15 And
the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,
16 “This
is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, Says
Yahuah: I
will
put My laws upon their heart,
And on their mind I will
write them,”
He then says,
17 “And
their sins and their lawless deeds
I
will remember no more.”
18 Now
where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer
any (physical) offering for sin
(because the sacrificed body of Yahusha is
ever before the Throne of Yahuah - Revelation 5:6).
A
Living Spiritual Sacrifice
19
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the
Spiritual holy place by the blood of Yahusha,
20 by a new and living
sacrificial way (Living Sacrifices)
which he inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, his physical
flesh, 21 and since
we have a great priest over the house of Yahuah (offering
the spiritual sacrifices prescribed by the Law on our behalf),
22 let us draw near with a
sincere heart in full assurance of faith (in
the Passover), having our hearts (the
Altar of Yahuah) sprinkled clean (by
the blood of the Passover Lamb when we express our faith by keeping
Passover in remembrance of him until he comes again) from an
evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure (living)
water (Mikveh).
23 Let us hold fast the
confession of our hope (as we keep
Passover in remembrance of Yahusha) without wavering, for He
who promised (that the Passover Lamb
covers the death decrees in the Law) is faithful (to
set us free from bondage to the threat of death);
In TRUE Spiritual Reality, the sons of Yahuah offer themselves on His
Altar (of their heart) as Living Sacrifices which is true Spiritual
Worship of a Spiritual Father in a Spiritual Kingdom under a Spiritual
High Priest. The offerings have been transposed through a broken spirit
and contrite heart.
Romans 12
1
Therefore I
urge you, brothers, on
account of Yahuah’s mercy, to
offer your bodies as
living sacrifices, holy and
pleasing to
Yahuah, which
is your spiritual service
of worship. 2
Do not be conformed to this physical realm, but be
transformed/transposed to the Spiritual Realm by the renewing of
your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the
good, pleasing, and perfect will of Yahuah.
Romans 15:16
to be a minister of The Yahushaic Covenant to the Gentiles in the
priestly service of the gospel of Yahuah, so that the Gentiles might
become an offering acceptable to Yahuah, sanctified by the Holy
Spirit.
Psalms 51:17
"The (true) sacrifices of
Yahuah are a broken spirit (Spiritual);
(offered on) a broken and a
contrite heart (The True Altar),
0 Yahuah, thou wilt not despise."
