WE ARE TAKING A SHORT PAUSE FROM THE SEVEN-SEALED SCROLL OF JUDGMENTS BEING OPENED (FROM REV 5-6) AND NOW IN REV.7 WE'LL SEE TWO VISIONS. THE FIRST IS OF A NUMBERED COMPANY (144,000) AND THE OTHER VISION IS OF AN INNUMERABLE COMPANY. AND THESE TWO VISIONS ARE HAPPENING RIGHT INBETWEEN THE OPENING OF THE SIXTH AND SEVENTH SEAL, SO THEY BELONG TO THIS PERIOD OF TIME (AS THE VISIONS WILL REVEAL). THEY ARE PREPARING FOR THE GREAT (TRUMPETS/BOWLS) TRIBULATION TO BE USHERED IN.
REV.7:1 And after this I saw 4 Angels standing at the 4 corners of the earth, holding the 4 winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, the sea or any tree.
'FOUR' IS THE NUMBER OF EARTH AND CREATION, SHOWING US THAT THESE COMING JUDGMENTS ARE WORLDWIDE IN THEIR EXECUTION.
'FOUR ANGELS' ARE DIVINE SPIRIT BEINGS, NOT EARTHLY, AND THEIR ABILITY TO RESTRAIN THE FOUR WINDS SHOW THAT THEY EXECUTE YAHUSHA’S WILL AND COMMANDS ALONG WITH HIS JUDGMENTS.
'FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN' CAN BE SEEN ABSTRACTLY AND NATURALLY:
1. NATURAL WINDS ARE THE ACTUAL EARTHLY CURRENTS AND MOVEMENTS OF AIR CEASING SO THAT ALL THINGS BECOME STAGNANT AND VILE. WITHOUT BREATH, OR WIND, AND COOLING BREEZES, MOST VEGETATION WOULD WITHER AND DIE.
2. ABSTRACT WINDS SPEAK THE SAME TRUTH, FOR `WIND' IN SCRIPTURE IS SYMBOLIC OF SPIRITUAL POWER, WHETHER YAHUSHA’S SPIRIT OR EVIL, SATANIC SPIRITS AND POWERS.
'HOLDING BACK THE FOUR WINDS OF HEAVEN' MEANS THESE ANGELIC BEINGS ARE RESTRAINING THE POWERS OF JUDGMENT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WHILE YAHUSHA SEALS HIS SERVANTS FOR PROTECTION. THE JUDGMENTS OF THE SIXTH SEAL HAVE OPENED (CURRENTLY OBVIOUS IN THE EARTH TODAY) AND THE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS OF THE SEVENTH SEAL ARE ABOUT TO SOUND. HOWEVER, BETWEEN THESE TWO SEALS, YAHUSHA DOES A SEALING WORK ON THIS SPECIAL COMPANY OF YISHARAL.
2And I saw another Angel coming up from the east, holding the seal of the living Alahim Yahuah. And He spoke with a loud voice to the 4 Angels (who were to harm the earth and the sea) 3saying,
“Don't harm the earth or the sea or the trees yet, until we have sealed the servants of Yahuah on their foreheads.”
THIS ‘ANOTHER ANGEL' IS THE MASTER YAHUSHA MESSIAH, NOT AN ORDINARY ANGEL, FOR HE ACTUALLY COMMANDS THE FOUR ANGELS HOLDING THE WINDS.
'DO NOT HARM THE EARTH, SEA OR TREES' SHOWS THAT ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE AFFECTED UNDER THE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS.
“Don't harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have SEALED the SERVANTS of Yahuah on their foreheads.”
SERVANTS OF YAHUAH ARE LITERALLY "BOND-SLAVES" AND "LOVE-SLAVES" TO YAHUSHA, BOUGHT WITH A PRICE AND NOW, GIVEN THE CHOICE, THEY WILLINGLY DESIRE TO SERVE THEIR MASTER FOREVER. NO POWERS OF NATURE, CREATION OR SATAN CAN HINDER THIS SEALING WORK, ALL POWER AND JUDGMENT IS RESTRAINED UNTIL THE SEALING WORK IS FINISHED. JUST AS THE LOVE-SLAVE OF ANCIENT YISHARAL RECEIVED 'A MARK' OR ‘A SEAL' IN THEIR EAR MADE BY A PIERCING INSTRUMENT AT THE DOOR, SO THESE SERVANTS RECEIVE A MARK AND ARE SEALED. THE YISHARALITE WITH THIS SIGN IN HIS EAR WAS FOREVER SEEN TO BE A "LOVE-SLAVE" TO HIS MASTER'S VOICE.
A SEAL IS AN OFFICIAL MARK OF OWNERSHIP, IDENTIFICATION, SECURITY, AUTHORITY AND (IN THIS CASE ESPECIALLY) A MARK OF PROTECTION IN THE MIDST OF JUDGMENT!! THESE SERVANTS ARE SEALED WITH THE MARK OF THE LIVING ALAHIM YAHUSHA. HE OWNS THEM. THEY BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO HIM. THEY ARE BOUGHT ONES, THEY ARE HIS LOVE-SLAVES. THIS SEAL IS A GUARANTEE FOR THEIR SECURITY AND PROTECTION IN THE JUDGMENTS SOON TO BE POURED OUT.
THE FOREHEAD IS THE MOST PROMINENT PART OF A PERSON'S FACE AND SYMBOLIC OF THE MIND, THE REASON, THOUGHTS AND SEAT OF INTELLIGENCE. THE MASTER YAHUSHA MESSIAH HAS A SEAL IN THE FOREHEADS OF HIS SEALED ONES AND THROUGH THEIR CHOICES THEY BEHAVE LIKE THEIR MASTER. WE THINK/BEHAVE FROM OUR HEART!
4-8And I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 sealed out of all the Tribes of Yisharal:
12,000 were sealed from Judah,
12,000 were sealed from Reuben,
12,000 were sealed from Gad,
12,000 were sealed from Asher,
12,000 were sealed from Naphtali,
12,000 were sealed from Menasseh,
12,000 were sealed from Simeon,
12,000 were sealed from Levi,
12,000 were sealed from Issachar,
12,000 were sealed from Zebulun,
12,000 were sealed from Joseph, and
12,000 were sealed from Benyamin.
MOST READ THIS AND THINK THAT THESE SEALED ONES WILL BE "JEWISH" (BECAUSE OF THE TRIBAL NAMES LISTED). BUT WHO ARE THESE 144,000? IS IT NATURAL/NATIONAL ISRAEL TODAY AFTER THE FLESH (MERELY DESCENDANTS OF ABRAHAM, DISOBEDIENT AND DIVORCED)?
OR IS IT SPEAKING OF A TRUE YISHARAL AFTER THE SPIRIT, FINDING SOME REVELATION AND FULFILMENT IN THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT BRIDAL ASSEMBLY? 1 COR 15 SHOWS US THAT THERE IS A NATURAL ISRAEL (ORIGINALLY THE ONCE CHOSEN YISHARAL) AND THERE IS NOW A TRUE SPIRITUAL YISHARAL.
1. NATURAL/NATIONAL ISRAEL
YAHUAH CHOSE AND ELECTED THE NATION OF YISHARAL FROM THE NATIONS FOR A SPECIAL SET-APART PURPOSE. THE TWELVE TRIBES OF YISHARAL BECAME ONE NATION IN THE OLD BLOOD-COVENANT, FROM THE TIME OF THEIR EXODUS OUT OF EGYPT UNDER MOSES UNTIL THE CIVIL WAR AND DIVISION OF THE NATION INTO TWO HOUSES, WHICH TOOK PLACE UNDER KINGS JEROBOAM AND REHOBOAM. AFTER THIS CIVIL WAR, THE TEN NORTHERN TRIBES (THE MAJORITY OF YISHARAL) BECAME KNOWN AS THE HOUSE OF YISHARAL (THEIR CAPITAL BEING SAMARIA), AND THE REMAINING TWO SOUTHERN
TRIBES (PLUS THE PRIESTLY TRIBE OF LEVI) BECAME KNOWN AS THE HOUSE OF JUDAH (THEIR CAPITAL BEING JERUSALEM, WHERE THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON WAS BUILT).
EVENTUALLY, BECAUSE OF IDOLATRY, THE NORTHERN HOUSE OF YISHARAL WAS TAKEN INTO ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY (BC.722), BECOMING 'THE LOST TEN TRIBES' TO MANKIND (EVEN TO THEMSELVES) BUT THEY WERE NOT 'LOST TO YAHUSHA’. THEY ASSIMILATED AND GOT BLENDED INTO THE NATIONS, FORGETTING WHO THEY WERE, WANDERING THROUGH THE WORLD TO FULFIL THEIR APPOINTED DESTINY AND YAHUAH-GIVEN BIRTHRIGHT (GIVEN IN GEN.48-49). THEY ARE STILL IN THE EARTH AND YAHUSHA KNOWS WHERE THE HOUSE OF YISHARAL IS HIDDEN, AND BECAUSE OF THE PROMISES OF HIS BLOOD-COVENANT, THE HOUSE OF YISHARAL CAN NEVER CEASE TO EXIST. BUT YISHARAL IS NOT ISRAEL TODAY !
THE SOUTHERN HOUSE, CONSISITING OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN (+LEVI) BECAME KNOWN AS THE HOUSE OF JUDAH (JEWS) AND BECAUSE OF THEIR IDOLATRY THEY EVENTUALLY WENT INTO BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY (BC.606) FOR SEVENTY YEARS. AFTER THIS TIME THEY RETURNED AND EXPERIENCED A TIME OF RESTORATION OF THE TEMPLE AND THE CITY, WHICH YAHUAH INSTRUCTED FOR HIS PURPOSES SURROUNDING MESSIAH, BUT HIS PRESENCE NEVER RETURNED TO A MAN-MADE BUILDING EVER AGAIN.
AND SHORTLY AFTER THIS THEY (THE JEWS) CARRIED ON WITHOUT HIM, FORMING THEIR OWN NATIONAL RELIGIOUS PROGRAM, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE JEWS DO TODAY … ISRAEL! (THEY NO LONGER RESEMBLE THE ORIGINAL YISHARAL, OR YAHUSHA’S BRIDE ANYMORE). YAHUSHA EVEN STATED THAT HE ONLY CAME FOR THE LOST SHEEP OF YISHARAL, BUT AFTER THEIR REJECTION OF THEIR OWN DELIVERER AND MESSIAH, YAHUSHA PERMITTED JUDGMENT TO FALL ON THE HOUSE OF JUDAH IN AD.70 UNDER PRINCE TITUS AND THE ROMAN ARMIES, AND THEY WERE SCATTERED TO ALL NATIONS AGAIN, BLENDING IN WITH ALL FORMS OF WORLDLY RELIGIOUS MIXTURE BEHAVIOUR.
SO THE PEOPLE WE CALL `JEWS’ TODAY ARE ONLY ONE (NEARLY 2) OF THE TRIBES OF YISHARAL. NO ONE KNOWS WHERE THE OTHER TEN ARE, FOR THEY’VE BEEN LOST AND SCATTERED, BUT YAHUSHA DOES.
THE ELECTION OF THE RACE OF YISHARAL WAS NOT NECESSARILY UNTO FAVOUR EITHER. FOR SINCE CALVARY, DELIVERANCE BY FAVOUR HAS BEEN OFFERED TO THE WHOLE WORLD, TO EVERY KINDRED, TONGUE, TRIBE AND NATION WILLING TO ENTER THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT.
IN OLD BLOOD-COVENANT TIMES, GENTILES (THE NATIONS) WERE ACCEPTED AND GRAFTED INTO YISHARAL (AND LATER JUDAH) BY THE RITE OF CIRCUMCISION OR CEREMONIAL WASHING, BRINGING THEM INTO BLOOD-COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH YAHUAH ALAHIM AND THEREFORE ENTITLING THEM TO THE BLESSINGS AND PROMISES OF YISHARAL AS A NATION. THE TORTURE-STAKE MADE AVAILABLE ALL THESE PROMISES TO ALL NATIONS, THEREBY DECLARING THEM HIS CHOSEN YISHARAL AFTER THE SPIRIT, NOT THE DISOBEDIENT ISRAEL AFTER THE FLESH.
2. THE SPIRITUAL YISHARAL
YAHUSHA AND ALL HIS NEW BLOOD-COVENANT WRITERS, RECOGNISE THAT THE 12 SONS OF JACOB (AND THEIR TRIBES) WERE BUT A SHADOW OF THE TRUE AND SPIRITUAL YISHARAL OF YAHUAH. DON'T FORGET IT WAS ONLY THE NATURAL/NATIONAL ISRAEL (JEWISH) CITIZENS WHO KILLED YAHUSHA AND ALSO PERSECUTED AND MURDERED THE EARLY ASSEMBLY AND THE DISCIPLES FROM CITY TO CITY.
PAUL, WHO WAS ALSO A JEW (FROM THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN) IS MOST EMPHATIC WHEN IT COMES TO THE REVELATION OF THE TRUE AND SPIRITUAL YISHARAL, FOR YAHUSHA GAVE HIM (PAUL) THIS SPECIFIC REVELATION.
(A) YAHUSHA TAUGHT THAT THE ONLY BIRTH ACCEPTABLE TO YAHUAH IS NOW THE NEW BIRTH, BEING REBORN (BEGOTTEN) FROM ABOVE. NICODEMUS WAS A JEW, BY NATURAL AND NATIONAL BIRTH, BUT YAHUSHA TOLD HIM HE NEEDED TO BE REBORN, BORN FROM ABOVE, BECAUSE NATURAL BIRTH IS NO LONGER THE BIRTH ACCEPTABLE TO YAHUAH - ONLY THE SPIRITUAL BIRTH FROM HEAVEN (JOHN 3). BOTH JEW AND GENTILE MUST BE REBORN FROM A DIVINE SEED. SO TO EXALT THE JEW ABOVE YAHUSHA’S NEW BLOOD-COVENANT ASSEMBLY IS TO EXALT THE NATURAL AND NATIONAL BIRTH ABOVE THE TRUE, HEAVENLY AND SPIRITUAL BIRTH, WHICH IS STUPID SINCE WE KNOW THAT ONLY THE NEW CREATURE IS ACCEPTED BY YAHUSHA. OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, TONGUE, TRIBE AND NATION, ONLY THOSE REBORN (THROUGH DIVINE OPERATION, REMOVAL OF OLD HEART AND SPIRIT AND GIVEN NEW HEART AND SPIRIT WITH DIVINE SEED IMPLANTED) ARE BORN INTO THE TRUE AND SPIRITUAL YISHARAL OF YAHUAH (GAL 6).
YAHUSHA TOLD THE JEWS OF HIS TIME THAT, THOUGH THEY WERE ABRAHAM'S SEED AFTER THE FLESH, THEY WERE NOT ABRAHAM'S SEED AFTER THE SPIRIT. THE SEED OF THE FLESH IS NOT THE SEED OF THE SPIRIT (JOHN 8).
NO MATTER WHETHER IT’S THE HOUSE OF YISHARAL OR JUDAH, ALL NEED TO BE REBORN (BEGOTTEN FROM ABOVE) OR ELSE THEY GO TO A DEATHLY GRAVE AND NEVER EXPERIENCE ETERNITY. NO HONEST PERSON CAN SCRIPTURALLY REFUTE THIS TRUTH, FOR TO DO SO WOULD BE DISHONEST AND DECEPTIVE. THE NATURAL BIRTH (FROM ABRAHAM) IS NOT THE BIRTH THAT GAINS ONE ETERNAL LIFE. IT IS ONLY THE NEW AND SPIRITUAL BIRTH WHICH GIVES ETERNAL LIFE.
(B) WHAT PAUL TAUGHT: PAUL RECEIVED HIS REVELATION OF GOOD NEWS FROM THE MASTER YAHUSHA MESSIAH HIMSELF, REVEALING TO THOSE OF HIS DAY (AND TODAY) THAT "NOT ALL "YISHARAL" IS TRULY YISHARAL, AND JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE ABRAHAM'S SEED DOESN’T MEAN THEY ARE THE TRUE SEED" (ROM.9).
JUST AS 'IN ISAAC' (THE OLD BLOOD-COVENANT SON), THE SEED WAS CALLED AND CHOSEN, ONLY THOSE WHO ARE 'IN YAHUSHA’ (THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT SON) ARE COUNTED AS THE SEED CALLED, AND HEIRS TO THE PROMISES.
THE NATURAL AND NATIONAL BRANCHES OF ISRAEL'S “OLIVE TREE” WERE BROKEN OFF (DIVORCED) BECAUSE OF UNBELIEF. THEN THROUGH YAHUSHA’S BLOOD, ALL THE NATIONS (MANY OF WHICH ARE THE LOST 10 TRIBES OF YISHARAL ANYWAY) ARE NOW GRAFTED INTO THE TRUE YISHARALITE “OLIVE TREE” BY BELIEF THROUGH MESSIAH. TODAY THE ONLY HOPE FOR ISRAEL/JUDAH TO BE DELIVERED IS TO COME OUT OF WORLDLY/RELIGIOUS UNBELIEF, SO THAT YAHUSHA CAN GRAFT THEM BACK IN AGAIN TO THE “COVENANT-OLIVE-TREE".
WE MAY TRULY AND SCRIPTURALLY SAY THAT THE “OLIVE TREE” HAS ALWAYS BEEN A BLOOD-COVENANT- OLIVE-TREE! WHY? BECAUSE ONLY THOSE OF YISHARAL WHO REMAINED IN COVENANT RELATIONSHIP AND BEHAVIOUR (COMING TO BELIEF IN THEIR DELIVERER) REMAINED IN "THE OLIVE TREE", OTHERWISE THEY WERE BRANCHES WHICH WERE CUT OFF.
BELIEVING GENTILES/NATIONS ARE NOW GRAFTED INTO THE BLOOD-COVENANT BY BELIEF. SO IF THE "OLIVE TREE" WERE ONLY THE NATIONAL ISRAEL, THEN IT WOULD MEAN THAT EVERY TIME SOMEONE COMES TO YAHUSHA THEY BECOMES A PART OF THE JEWISH CULTURE, LIFESTYLE AND CUSTOMS OF NATIONAL ISRAEL! BUT THIS IS THE FURTHEST THING FROM THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE!
THE TRUE “OLIVE TREE” IS ONLY A “COVENANT-OLIVE-TREE" AND THE BRANCHES ARE CALLED AND CHOSEN JEWS AND GENTILES. THEY, TOGETHER, PARTAKE OF THE ROOT OF THE TREE THAT IS, THE SAME BELIEF OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB, FOR ABRAHAM IS THE FATHER OF ALL WHO BELIEVE, WHETHER JEW OR GENTILE.
SO THE "CHILDREN OF YISHARAL" HERE IN JOHN'S VISION ARE THE TRUE, NEW (DIVINELY OPERATED ON) BLOOD-COVENANT YISHARAL, THE BRIDAL ASSEMBLY, BECAUSE YAHUSHA WILL NOT PUT HIS SEAL ON THE FLESH-BIRTH OF NATURAL ISRAEL, BECAUSE THIS NEW BLOOD-COVENANT SEAL IS FOR THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT YISHARAL, THOSE WHO HAVE A DIVINE, INCORRUPTIBLE SEED OF TRANSFORMATION PLANTED WITHIN THEM AND ARE BEING TESTED AND TRIED IN THE FIRE TO BECOME THE BRIDAL-CITY - "A SET-APART NATION" IN YAHUSHA THROUGH CLEAN, LOVING, FRUITFUL BEHAVIOUR.
WHENEVER A GENTILE IS REBORN, HE BECOMES A CHILD OF ABRAHAM BY BELIEF IN YAHUSHA AND IS THEN ADOPTED/GRAFTED INTO THE OLIVE TREE OF YISHARAL THROUGH A NEW AND LIVING WAY. WE CANNOT BE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY OF YAHUSHA, WE MUST BE BORN INTO IT! THEN AFTER A NEW BIRTH, AN ADOPTION/GRAFTING INTO THE COMMONWEALTH OF YISHARAL (THROUGH THE NEW SPIRIT) TAKES PLACE.
THEREFORE:
(1) BY NEW DIVINE BIRTH, WE ARE BORN INTO THE FAMILY OF YAHUAH, BECOMING THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, AND
(2) BY ADOPTION/GRAFTING WE ARE SPIRITUALLY ASSIGNED & PLACED INTO ONE OF THE TWELVE TRIBES OF YISHARAL (IF NOT ALREADY BORN INTO ONE).
IN SUMMARY: THE TWELVE TRIBES OF THE CHILDREN OF YISHARAL HERE IN REV.7 ARE THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT BRIDAL-ASSEMBLY, FOR ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW THE CLEANSING BLOOD OF YAHUSHA MESSIAH CAN RECEIVE HIS SEAL. IT IS FIRST THE BLOOD, AND THEN THE SEAL.
And I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 sealed out of all the Tribes of Yisharal:
'12,000 FROM EACH TRIBE SEALED' YAHUAH DOES NOT ALWAYS LISTS THESE 12 TRIBES IN THE ORDER OF BIRTH, BUT OFTEN IN THE ORDER OF TRUTH HE DESIRES TO BRING OUT. AND SO IT IS HERE IN REVELATION. IN THE HIGH PRIEST'S GARMENTS, THERE WERE TWO ONYX STONES ON THE SHOULDERS, EACH HAVING SIX NAMES OF YISHARAL IN THEM.
ALL THE SONS OF JACOB WERE REPRESENTED BEFORE YAHUAH IN THEIR TRIBAL NAMES IN THE PERSON AND MINISTRY OF AARON, THE HIGH PRIEST, AS A SHADOW OF OUR MASTER YAHUSHA MESSIAH, OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST, WHO CARRIES AND REPRESENTS IN HIMSELF, ALL THE NAMES OF THE REDEEMED BRIDAL-FELLOWSHIP, THE DIVINE YISHARAL OF YAHUAH. HE REPRESENTS IN HIS PERSON, THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES, THE TWENTY-FOUR ELDERS, THE 144,000 OF YISHARAL AND THEN THE THOUSANDS OF THE REDEEMED HOSTS. JUST AS AARON DID THIS BEFORE YAHUAH (A SHADOW) SO YAHUSHA DOES IN HIMSELF AS THE HIGH-PRIEST, SACRIFICE, ALTAR, TEMPLE AND KING!
JACOB'S PROPHETIC BLESSINGS OVER HIS SONS IN GEN.49 REVEALED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO EACH TRIBE IN THE LAST DAYS, FOR A PERSON'S NAME IN SCRIPTURE WAS ALWAYS SIGNIFICANT OF THE NATURE, CHARACTER OR MINISTRY OF THE PERSON NAMED.
THE NAME "YISHARAL" IN HEBREW MEANS "A PRINCE WITH YAHUAH". THE 144,000 ARE THOSE WHO ARE PRINCES WITH YAHUSHA, HAVING POWER WITH YAHUSHA AND WITH MEN. THEY ARE OF THE CHILDREN OF YISHARAL. REMEMBER THE SEALING IN REV.7 IS USING THE SHADOWS OF JACOB'S BOYS TO REVEAL ABSTRACT TRUTHS:
1. JUDAH TAKES THE LEAD. JUDAH MEANS "PRAISE". SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA ARE CHOSEN TO THE PRAISES OF YAHUSHA’S ESTEEM.
2. REUBEN COMES NEXT. HIS NAME MEANS "BEHOLD A SON". SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA ARE HIS SONS AND BEHOLD THE SON OF YAHUAH.
3. GAD IS NEXT, THOUGH SEVENTH IN ORDER OF NATURAL BIRTH. HIS NAME SIGNIFIES "TROOP" OR "A GREAT COMPANY". SO YAHUAH'S PEOPLE ARE A GREAT COMPANY, AND YAHUSHA BRINGS MANY SONS TO ESTEEM.
4. ASHER COMES NEXT, MEANING "HAPPY" OR "BLESSED". YAHUSHA’S PEOPLE ARE A BLESSED PEOPLE.
5. NAPHTALI FOLLOWS, AND HIS NAMES SIGNIFIES "WRESTLINGS". AT HIS BIRTH RACHEL SAID HE HAD COME WITH GREAT WRESTLINGS. SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA HAVE GREAT WRESTLINGS IN THIS PRESENT TIME AND AGE, AGAINST THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL.
6. MENASSEH, ONE OF THE SONS OF JOSEPH BORN TO HIM IN EGYPTIAN CAPTIVITY. HIS NAME MEANS "FORGETTING" BECAUSE YAHUAH CAUSED JOSEPH TO FORGET THINGS OF THE PAST, AND THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA NEED TO FORGET WHAT IS PAST AND PRESS TOWARD THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF MESSIAH YAHUSHA.
7. SIMEON, JACOB'S SECOND SON, COMES NEXT. HIS NAME MEANS "HEARING", GIVEN TO HIM BECAUSE HIS MOTHER SAID, 'THE MASTER HEARD ME'. SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA RECEIVE BELIEF THAT COMES BY HEARING THE WORD OF YAHUAH.
8. LEVI FOLLOWS, MEANING "JOINED" SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA ARE JOINED TO THE MASTER.
9. ISSACHAR IS NEXT ON THE LIST, AND HIS NAME SIGNIFIES "HIRE", THAT IS, SOMETHING FOR WHICH A PRICE WAS PAID. SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUAH ARE BROUGHT WITH A PRICE.
10. ZEBULUN COMES NEXT, WHOSE NAME MEANS "DWELLING" AS LEAH SAID, 'NOW MY HUSBAND WILL DWELL WITH ME', SO YAHUSHA DWELLS WITH HIS PEOPLE WHO ARE HIS LIVING TEMPLE HABITATION.
11. JOSEPH IS NEXT LISTED. HIS NAME MEANS "ADDING", INVOLVING GROWTH AND FRUITFULNESS. JOSEPH WAS A FRUITFUL BOUGH. SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA ARE TO HAVE THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR UNTO SET-APARTNESS. JEW AND GENTILES HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE MASTER, TO THE GREAT HOUSEHOLD OF BELIEF. THE MASTER ADDED TO THE ASSEMBLY DAILY THOSE WHO WERE BEING DELIVERED.
12. BENJAMIN COMES LAST. HIS MOTHER NAMED HIM BENOMI, MEANING "SON OF MY SORROW", WHILE HIS FATHER, JACOB, NAMED HIM, BENJAMIN, MEANING "SON OF MY RIGHT HAND",
FORESHADOWING THE FIRST, THE MASTER YAHUSHA MESSIAH, WHO WAS OF MARY, "SON OF SORROW", WHILE HIS FATHER, YAHUAH, NAMED HIM, "SON OF MY RIGHT HAND”. SO THE PEOPLE OF YAHUSHA, MEMBERS OF HIS BODY, ALSO EXPERIENCE SORROW YET BECOME OVERCOMERS TO SIT AT YAHUSHA’S RIGHT HAND IN THE THRONE.
144,000
AN ACTUAL OR SYMBOLIC NUMBER?
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS NUMBER 144,000? TWELVE IS THE NUMBER OF DIVINE OR PERFECT GOVERNMENT, AND WHEN TAKEN TO ITS THOUSANDS, IT SIMPLY INTENSIFIES THE MEANING OF THE NUMBER. YAHUSHA CHOSE TWELVE DISCIPLES OUT OF THE WORLD AND THEY ALONE ARE CALLED THE "TWELVE DISCIPLES OF THE LAMB".
THE NUMBER 12 X 12 = 144 WHICH IS THE NUMBER OF THE ELECT, THE CHOSEN OF YAHUAH, THE REDEEMED OF EARTH, AND THIS NUMBER SPEAKS OF THE ASSEMBLY, THE BODY OF MESSIAH, OR THE BRIDE OF THE LAMB. THE 144,000 ARE CHOSEN BY THE MASTER.
THE NUMBER TWELVE IS THE NUMBER OF YAHUAH'S ULTIMATE IN THE NEW CREATION. IT IS THE NUMBER IMPRESSED ON THE ETERNAL CITY OF YAHUAH. NUMEROUS TWELVE'S ARE SEEN IN REV.21-22 WHERE JOHN DESCRIBES THE ESTEEM OF THE BRIDAL CITY OF YAHUAH AND THE LAMB.
SO IT IS SCRIPTURALLY SOUND TO SAY THAT THE 144,000 HERE ARE A CHOSEN COMPANY, ELECTED OF YAHUAH FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, AND SEALED FOR PROTECTION AGAINST COMING JUDGMENTS. THEY ARE A COMPANY IN BLOOD-COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH YAHUSHA, AND ARE SEALED FOR A DISTINCT PURPOSE AND MINISTRY. THEY ARE IN DIVINE ORDER AND UNDER DIVINE GOVERNMENT.
SO WHILE 144,00 IS A FIXED NUMBER, IT'S ALSO ABSTRACT FOR THESE 144,000 REPRESENT A PART OF THE WHOLE YISHARAL, YET NOT ALL OF THEM. BUT ARE A CHOSEN FEW FROM THE WHOLE.
THE TWELVE TRIBES ARE THE WHOLE, THE COMPLETE YISHARAL, AND THE 12,000 ARE CHOSEN OUT OF EACH TRIBE. YAHUAH HAS SET THE MEMBERS OF THE BRIDAL FELLOWSHIP IN THEIR PLACE AND THESE MEMBERS ARE SEALED FOR A DIVINE REASON.
REMEMBER THE MAIDENS? THEY ARE ALL YISHARAL THE BRIDE, BUT HALF ARE STUPID AND FOOLISH !
1. THE NAME
THE 144,000 ARE SEALED WITH THE ONLY NAME OF THE LIVING ALAHIM YAHUSHA. THEY ARE HIS. THEY ARE PRESERVED EXCLUSIVELY FOR HIS PURPOSES. THEY ARE PROTECTED BY HIM AND FOR HIM AND NOTHING CAN HURT THEM.
(A) YAHUAH RECORDED HIS NAME IN THE TABERNACLE,
(B) YAHUAH RECORDED HIS NAME IN THE TEMPLE,
(C) YAHUAH RECORDED THE FULNESS OF THE DIVINE NAME IN HIS SON.
(D) YAHUAH NOW HAS THIS SAME NAME RECORDED AND INVOKED UPON THE BRIDE IN WATER IMMERSION.
THE ASSEMBLY NOW IS YAHUAH'S SANCTUARY, HIS TEMPLE. THE ASSEMBLY IS THE PLACE WHERE YAHUAH NOW HAS CAUSED HIS NAME TO DWELL. THE NAME OF YAHUAH IS IN THESE 144,000. HIS NAME UPON THEM MEANS HIS AUTHORITY, HIS POWER AND ANOINTING. THE NAME, THE MARK AND THE NUMBER OF THE SEAL OF YAHUAH IS IN THEM.
AND IT’S SHOWN THROUGH BEHAVIOUR!
2. THE IMMERSION:
THE NEXT PART OF THE SEAL OF THE LIVING ALAHIM IS THE IMMERSION IN THE SET-APART SPIRIT AND FIRE. THIS IS ALSO VERY CLEARLY SPOKEN OF AS THE SEAL OF YAHUAH. PAUL (IN WRITING TO THE EPHESIAN BELIEVERS) REMINDS THEM OF THE DAY THEY WERE SEALED WITH THE SPIRIT FOR THE DAY OF REDEMPTION. IT IS CONFIRMED ALSO TO THE CORINTHIAN BELIEVERS. THE SET-APART SPIRIT IS THE SEAL OF YAHUAH AND THE SEAL OF THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT. YAHUSHA MESSIAH WAS SEALED BY YAHUAH THE FATHER WITH THE SET-APART SPIRIT. THE FATHER SEALS HIS OWN PEOPLE, THROUGH THE IMMERSION OF THE SET-APART SPIRIT AND BY THE MASTER YAHUSHA MESSIAH, THE IMMERSER. THE SET-APART SPIRIT IS THAT SEAL.
3. PROTECTION:
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE FINAL PART OF THE SEAL HERE INVOLVES BODILY PROTECTION DURING THE TRUMPET JUDGEMENTS THAT ARE ABOUT TO FALL. SHORTLY IN REV.8-9 A NUMBER OF THESE TRUMPET JUDGMENTS SOUND AND IT'S CLEAR THAT THE 144,000 SEALED ONES ARE STILL HERE ON EARTH DURING THIS TIME, BUT DIVINELY PROTECTED BECAUSE OF THE SEAL OF YAHUSHA ON THEM.
FOR EXAMPLE, UNDER THE FIFTH TRUMPET JUDGMENT (SPOILER ALERT), WE ARE TOLD ABOUT THE LOCUST PLAGUE (UNDOUBTEDLY DEMONIC ACTIVITY). AND THE WORD TO THESE DEMONIC CREATURES IS: "DON'T HARM THE GRASS OF THE EARTH, ANY GREEN THING, OR ANY TREE, BUT ONLY THOSE MEN WHO DON'T HAVE THE SEAL OF YAHUAH IN THEIR FOREHEADS". THIS SHOWS THAT THESE CREATURES ARE EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT AND KNOW WHICH HUMAN BEINGS HAVE THE SEAL OF YAHUSHA ON THEM OR NOT. THE SEALED ARE NOT HURT OR HARMED PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY OR SPIRITUALLY IN ANY WAY, SHOWING THAT THEY HAVE DIVINE BODILY PROTECTION. THIS IS UNNATURAL. THIS IS SUPERNATURAL AND AMAZINGLY MIRACULOUS!!
CONCLUSION:
PLAGUES ARE FALLING ON EARTH, AND THOUSANDS WILL FALL AT OUR RIGHT AND OUR LEFT, BUT NOTHING WILL COME NEAR US OR HARM US, FOR WE ARE SEALED FROM HARM AND DANGER. WE WILL NOT BE HURT. JUST AS YISHARAL WAS SAFE IN GOSHEN WHILE EGYPT WAS RAVAGED BY PLAGUES OF DIVINE PUNISHMENT, IN US WILL BE FULFILLED THIS TEXT:
"I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY AND POWER TO TRAMPLE UPON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STRENGTH AND ABILITY (DEMON ACTIVITY & CONTROL), INFACT OVER ALL THE POWER THAT THE ENEMY POSSESSES, AND NOTHING SHALL HARM OR HURT YOU IN ANY WAY".
AS WITH EVERYTHING GOOD THAT YAHUSHA WORKS IN US, HE DOES HIS PART (AS SHOWN HERE THROUGH THE IMPLANTED SEED, HIS SEALING AND PROTECTION) ... THEN WE MUST EXERCISE HIS WORDS, MAKING THEM A PART OF OUR DAILY LANGUAGE, ACTIVATING OUR BELIEF IN ALL SITUATIONS, AND WITH OUR ARMOUR ALWAYS ON WE BECOME MORE AND MORE AWARE AND RESPONSIVE OF OUR ENEMY AND THE BATTLE WE FACE TO REMAIN SOBER, CLEAN, STRONG, FULL OF YAHUSHA'S FRUITS OF LOVE & SELF-CONTROL.
HE'S GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TO PROTECT US, SO HE MUST HAVE A MIGHTY WORK FOR US ALL TO DO? ... THIS IS THE WAY!!
