All of us fear judgment. No one likes to go to traffic court for a violation. Certainly we don't crave hearing our bosses' evaluation of our performance. And when we ponder the fact that God looks down upon us and judges us, it is quite a scary thought.
Ha Mishkan: The Tabernacle. This is where God dwells, and loves it, as in Psalms 26:8. In the beginning of Parasha Terumah (Exodus 25:1-7), God tells Moshe (Moses) to collect donations from all Israel for the building materials of the Tabernacle. He mentions the specific materials that they should bring such as gold, silver, copper, turquoise, & wool. Why must they bring specific materials?
"If a bull gores..." Do you gore others with your doctrine? Are you "a pit without water"? Do you give a well without Living Water? Find out how to give Life.
Jethro is a man of the world, (just like us). Why does Jethro come to Moses? Because the whole world heard about the Red Sea (a disaster for Egypt), and then another nation destroyed - the Amalekites!! Jethro was a seeker of Truth, a man with a heart for God’s truth! He then gives his life to Yahweh, making an offering to Him, and becomes one of the First Fruits of the Gentiles. Yahweh gives us guidance; The Ten Words-Aseret haDevarim. (John 1) Yeshua at Mount Sinai-Horeb.
Yahweh becomes the Guide to the Children, Joseph is honored; It’s all about His presence; Cloud & Fire. Just this section alone has three different examples of our lives; “Murmuring, grumbling, complaining”, all Evil Tongue, La shon Hara. I think we are just like them. Oh, plus there are many signs & wonders. Is that for the believers or the unbelievers? We also have water from the Rock, Yeshua (1Cor 10:4) & the Tree of Life; “Etz Chaim”. Haftarah: Judges 4.4-5.31; Just as the God fearing Moses went to Battle and God prevailed, Devorah was God’s anointed and God miraculously confused and prevailed over the Canaanites and Yahweh prevailed. A Good Summary see Isaiah 43:15-20
These children were promised deliverance and blessings and then they received such hardships, persecution, trials and tribulations, have you experienced any trials and tribulations? We need more straw for the brick! Where are the blessings? After the promise of the blessings and deliverance, have you ever said, “Where are you, Yeshua?” “Those who feared the Word of the Almighty among the servants of Pharaoh brought their servants and their cattle into the houses. And those who did not pay attention to the word of the Almighty left their servants and cattle in the field." (Exodus 9:20-21) Is this the opposite of „The Fear of the Lord? Do you think we have been listening to the ”Word of God‟? (Study „Heart‟, „Hearts‟ and where they come from!)
This representation in Exodus shows a powerful picture of many hidden meanings of salvation in Yeshua. A blessing of God’s prophecy and then persecution, trails and tribulation before the fulfillment, just like Joseph’s life & yours! You are to be the Type and Shadow!!!!!!!
I truly believe this is one of the most important understandings as to how you can be adopted into Israel. It is neither Greek nor Jew but this Spirit of Adoption, has chosen the First Born for the First Fruits offering.
Joseph is a type and shadow of Jesus/Yeshua HaMashiach and the Bride’s Journey. These last 4 studies give us the life of Joseph and a picture of Yeshua, and also a picture of the Bride, YOU!! It is also the depth of His anointing and his 3 realms of imprisonment; (Babylon‘s three divisions; Rev 16:19). His obedience is HIS deliverance; it is the “Yeshua Life” alive in YOU! A Few Hebrew Definitions
Are YOU Drawing Near to the King?
Another depiction of Joseph/Yeshua the Savior of the remnant and a picture of a complete sell out of our lives;
Give up your life & be placed in HIS hands
There are so many images of Yeshua in this study you can’t miss HIM if you tried! Notice that Joseph tells his brothers that he was sent ahead to prepare a way for the Remnant. We start out with, Judah “drew near: the King;
