Dear Family/ “Mishpacha”
The time is coming for the Return of the LORD!
This weeks parshat speeks of going out from your current place where God meets you and sojourning to the place that God will show you. That place is named Beit El also call Luz.
Now bear with me.
Genesis states in 28:15 And, Hinnei, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this eretz; for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of.
28:16 And Ya'akov awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely YHWH (יהוה) is in this place; and I knew [it] not.
Where does God meet you? In your heart. Where is this Place also called in Hebrew ‘Ha Makom” that Jesus/Yeshua lives today?
So you are the Beit-El the House of YHWH the place if you will that Jesus lives today.
We are to be a light to the world, hence the other name given to Beit-El which is Luz (in Ladino that means Light).
Are you getting this? Wow! I just love the Word of God.
Yeshua/Jesus and God are the same as One/ Echad. Though they differ only in that Jesus is clothed in the flesh and God is thought not to be. However the Scripture state that “I am with thee- I will never leave thee- also we see God states He will never forsake us” in the book of Joshua. So if He is in us that would make sense that He never leaves us and that He is with us where ever we may go. The third temple is being built in you and in me. We are the temple of the Living God, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Yakov. There are many who seek to build a physical temple in Jerusalem but what good would that do if our hearts are still not right with Yeshua?
We see what happened when those who rebel against the ways of God build temples and great cities; they always come to ruin.
I pray that you can see in the Spirit of God that we are to leave the place where you met God and go with God to the place He is calling you. Yeshua did not come outside the walls of Jerusalem, give His life only to leave you outside the walls but rather, to come outside the gates of the city and offer Himself so that we who were outside could come into the city of peace; Jerusalem. And I might add that we become the new city of Peace; the new Jerusalem.
In other words leave the adolescent stage of sppirituality and mature in the Scriptures to the vibrant bride of Christ that He has waited patiently for, for over 6000 yrs.
We are in the 7th day as it were. The Groom is coming for His Bride. Be cleansed in the Spirit of Redemption given to us by Yeshua and anoint yourself in the oil of gladness and the Holy Spirit of God, found only in His attributes, character, precepts and statutes; those found in the Torah/Bible of God. From Genesis to Revelation is all His Word.
You are the Bride-
You are the Place-
You are the House of God/ Beit El
You are the Luz/ the light
Jesus lives through us-
God-Jesus-Holy Spirit
YHWH-Yeshua-Ruach HoChodesh
They are Echad- One; Deuteronomy 6
If so, then the Holy Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit of Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all one in the same. Amen?
So, does the Holy Spirit live in you? If so… guess what? That means that Jesus has already returned and He’s in you! Would you let that happen?
Some may think that I am taking away the 2nd coming of the Lord Jesus but I am not. I believe that if you and I would be the physical manifestation of his life then and only then will we see the spiritual manifestation of a spiritual revival in the land.
If you can’t see yourself in the picture, or you can’t see Jesus in your brothers and sisters, then we may never see the “2nd coming” of Jesus.
Make straight the way of the LORD.
Jacob left the place he wrestled, received his blessing and pursued the place of God.
Won’t you pursue that place with us? I see Him in you.
You are blessed and highly favored.
Read with me Genesis; 28:20 And Ya'akov vowed a vow, saying, If Elohim (אלהים) will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
28:21 So that I come again to my avi's house in peace; then shall YHWH (יהוה) be my Elohim (אלהים):
28:22 And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be Elohim (אלהים)'s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Ya’akov/Jacob says to himself if Elohim be with me,,, and will keep me in this way that I go and provide Manna/ Word of God and clothing/ His righteousness through Jesus/Yeshua, Then I can come to the Father’s House/ My living body in Peace.
And this stone/altar; you that I set up as a pillar/marker for direction; Yeshua in me shall be the house of Elohim. And I shall give back to God a tenth of all that He provides for me.
Do you think that maybe the Tenth could also elude to the bringing back to God the Lost Ten Tribes in gratitude for what He gives us?
You’re it! He loves you!
He Live in You! And You can do great things for the King of kings. He has written it upon your hearts and upon your minds. His Torah; His words are stored in earthen vessels and like the Qumran scrolls we have been tucked away in the wilderness for 2000 yrs. Our vessels are shattered in order to reveal the treasure inside each and every one of us. Don’t fear the potter. He can restore all His works.
He has put His Spirit in you and will move you to desire to know His ways and not the ways of this world.
When the writing on the Torah scroll becomes illegible the torahs are buried in earthen vessels, awaiting the resurrection when that which has been dead for 3 ½ days/3500 years will be resurrected; brought back to life and the writing will be made easy to read.
Peace be upon you.
Shalom Mishpacha!
Peace my family
Lehitra’ot haShabbat!
