From my understanding about the # 12 – I see where it stands for Divine power and authority, I don’t want to say it means completion per say because this number has many function that it operates in and if we don’t study carefully we can be easily misled, Our year for instance carry twelve months – which produces us with the breaking down of 4 seasons in some countries, This is what Rabbi Geoffrey Denis said about  the # 4 and I quote: 

3+1

This is a number cluster that signals the fulfillment of God’s plans (Amos 1; Daniel 7:25).

Four

Four is a recurrent number in both exoteric and esoteric Jewish traditions. The Passover Seder is particularly structured around fours: the Four Questions, the Four Sons, and four cups of wine. There are four cardinal directions and there are four Matriarchs. Four is also a common factor in esoteric interpretations: four angels surround the Throne of Glory, there are four kingdoms of the eschaton, and the famous four Sages who enter Paradise.

So we see clearly that every thing on earth has a birth place, so when Esaw pick on himself to give away his birth right he had been saying clearly – hes no longer apart of the house of light and esteem. when we preach another doctrine that’s not scriptural it shows that we have walked away from our true DNA. And this is my point here that from what the Rabbi proven above concerns the # 4 tells us that our entire life being is connected to divine foundation. Let me come back to the # 12 like I had mention above its not only completion and it ends there but it is more to that….from my studies I recognize that it stands for YHWH super powers in bringing wholeness to the body of Mashiach . See what the book of  YOVHELIYM (JUBILEES) chapter 25 : 16 said [This is what Ribqah prayed over her son Ya’aqov]

And may he make your sons many during your life, and may they arise according to the number of the months of the year. And may their sons become many and great beyond the stars of heaven, and their numbers be more than the sand of the sea

 So from this prayer we can rightly say the months birth stools are the sons of Ya’aqov – which means that these twelve boys represent each month and if we so want to go further we can lookup the meaning of their names and we can see why that month was given the name  it carries.. From my studies a birth stool means whatever goes on it is automatically yours – in other words you have just become the owner of this thing that’s birthed out.

In the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, a different gemstone is listed for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. They are, in the 1^st row, carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald; in the 2^ndrow, turquoise, sapphire, and amethyst; in the 3^rd row, jacinth, agate, and crystal; in the 4^th row, beryl, lapis lazuli, and jasper.

Shemoth (Exodus) 15:27 – [ 12 foundations of water ]

Bemidbar (Numbers) 13 [ Mosheh sent out the 12 Spies ]

Luqas (Luke) 2: 41-52 [ When Yahshua was 12 years of age ]

I put more information below – for those who may want to know what these 12 gates singify

The spiritual meaning of the gates of Jerusalem

As mentioned, the gates of Jerusalem have both a personal and prophetic aspect. I’ll use a table to display this so that you can read which ever column you want.

The Gate of Jerusalem	Personal Significance	Prophetic/Historical Significance
Sheep Gate (Neh 3:1,32) The very first gate mentioned is the sheep gate. It was called the sheep gate because this was the gate which the sheep and lambs used in the sacrifice were bought through.	Personal aspect: No prizes for knowing that this speaks of the very first experience we come into in our Christian life – that is, a realisation that Jesus was the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. The sheep gate then speaks to us of the cross and the sacrifice that was made for our sins. It is the starting point of everything but you will also notice if you read the entire chapter that the sheep gate is also mentioned at the very end once we have come full circle. That is because everything starts and ends with Jesus’ death on the cross.	Prophetic aspect: This gate points to the first coming of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). He is the sacrifice foretold in this sheep gate. He is the door by which everyone must enter to be saved (John 10:7-9).
Fish Gate (Neh 3:3 ) The Fish gate was mentioned next. It was called the fish gate because the fisherman of Galilee would bring their catch in through this gate to be sold.	Personal aspect: For us, it speaks of evangelism as we have been called to be ‘fishers of men’ (Matt 4:19). It is a natural progression in our Christian life that after seeing that Jesus died for our sins, we would then want to tell others about it. Surveys have shown that believers who have been saved less than two years win the most people to the Lord. Their simple testimony of what Jesus has done in their lives qualifies them to be great ‘fishers of men.’ So this is the next step in the Christian life.	Prophetic aspect: This gate speaks of the church in the first century (the apostolic era) where believers on fire for God sacrificed all and went out to turn the world upside down with the message of Jesus Christ! And that is what happened. Starting with the Jews and then travelling out to the Gentiles in the then known world, the Apostles and disciples of the Lord truly were ‘fishers of men’ and the growth of Christianity spread rapidly during the first century.
Old Gate (Neh 3:6) Following from the Fish gate was the Old gate. Nehemiah is the only book in the Bible where it is called the Old gate and it may have been one of the original gates made.	Personal aspect: This speaks to us of the old ways of truth. A young Christian having experienced the sheep gate, then the fish gate, soon sees the need for experiencing the old gate. This means learning the old ways of truth that never change. Jeremiah 6:16 states ‘Thus says the Lord, Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls.’ Too many Christian’s today want something new. The latest teaching, the latest experience… Or they try to change truth to make it acceptable with what the world thinks is right ‘today’ (which may not be the same as what it thinks ‘tomorrow’.) But the Ancient of Days calls us back to His long established ways that do not change and remain the same yesterday, today and forever.	Prophetic aspect: Prophetically this speaks of the period of the Church Fathers around 100-325 AD (sometimes known as the Ante-Nicene era). This was a period where a defence of the faith and the truth of God were further established to counter attacks and persecution from unbelievers.
Valley Gate (Neh 3:13) Several valleys surround Jerusalem and this gate apparently opened out to the valleyof Hinnom.	Personal aspect: Examining the picture above you notice that there is a long distance before you come to the next gate, which is the valley gate. For a new Christian the Lord allows a ‘honeymoon’ type period where He teaches you and His presence is strong in your life. This can go on for some time as indicated by the positioning of the old and valley gates. But sooner or later the valley gate must come. The valley gate speaks to us of humbling and trials – valley type experiences used by the Lord for our personal growth. Never easy but the Christian needs to remember that in the natural nothing really grows on the mountain tops, but it certainly does down in the valleys. So it is in the spiritual. Never a nice experience but it always produces fruit.	Prophetic aspect: In the history of the church the valley gate would speak of the humbling and suppression of the true church following on from when ‘Christianity’ was made a state religion under Constantine (~390AD). Pagan rituals were adapted and brought into the ‘church’ and spiritual regression ensued. This long period continued with the ‘dark ages’ and the further establishment of Roman Catholicism as the face of ‘Christianity’ to the world.
Dung (Refuse) Gate (Neh 3:14) All of Jerusalem’s refuse and rubbish was taken out through the dung gate, down to the valley of Hinnom, where it would be burned.	Personal aspect: Again there is quite a distance to the next gate indicating that, unfortunately, the valley experience can carry on for some time. But the result of that experience is clearly seen in this next gate – the dung gate. This is where the rubbish is removed and this is what happens in our own life. Valley experiences are used by the Lord to clear away the rubbish so that true faith, refined by the fire, can come forth and produce fruit. Clearing away the rubbish in our lives is never easy but the benefits of this experience can be seen in the next gate. You will notice also that at this point of your Christian life there is a dramatic ‘turning of the corner’ that takes place. From the diagram above, up until this point we have been moving downward and the experiences have been hard, but having come to this point there is a sharp turn in the road and we begin to move upward again.	Prophetic aspect: The dung gate speaks of the rubbish that became established within the ‘church’ during the dark and medieval ages leading up to the reformation. Some of doctrinal ‘rubbish’ that needed removing included the teachings of indulgences, purgatory, salvation by various sacraments and works, exaltation of Mary as the ‘Mother of God’ and the man-made church hierarchy and papal authority. There was a lot to be removed!
Fountain Gate (Neh 3:15) The fountain gate is located near the pool of Siloah and was often used by the people for cleaning before proceeding on to the temple.	Personal aspect: You will notice from the picture that the fountain gate is located extremely close to the dung gate. In other words, after a valley type experience where rubbish in our lives is cleared out through the dung gate, true faith comes forth and the fountains begin to flow quite quickly! This speaks to us of the living waters of the Holy Spirit that cleanse our lives and empower us for our Christian life. Jesus said: ‘Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.” (John 7:38)	Prophetic aspect: In church history, this speaks of the period beginning with the reformation (1517-1600). It was a time when the truth of God’s word was established again as Bibles were printed for the common man to read and the key truth of salvation by grace through faith opened the fountains of salvation to flow again.
Water Gate (Neh 3:26) The Water Gate led down to the Gihon Spring which was located adjacent to the Kidron Valley	Personal aspect: The next gate we arrive at is the water gate. The water gate is a picture of the word of God and its effect in our life. Eph 5:26 states ‘… having washed her by the water of the word.’ Psalm 119:9 states that it is only through God’s word that we can be clean. It is no coincidence that this gate was located next to the fountain gate as the two often go together. The Holy Spirit is the one who makes the word of God alive to us personally, allowing cleansing, encouragement and direction to take place in our life.	Prophetic aspect: From 1600-1900 the word of God made a dramatic impact in the lives of many around the world. Some of the great men of God preached the word including John Bunyan in the time of the Puritans, John Wesley, George Whitefield, Charles Spurgeon, D.L Moody among others. The preaching and cleansing of the word went forth into countries and continents previously starved of the word through men such as Hudson Taylor, Adoraim Judson and William Carey.
Horse Gate (Neh 3:28) The horse gate was close to the King’s stables and the men of Jerusalem would ride their horses out of this gate to war.	Personal aspect: The horse gate speaks to us of warfare as horses were used in battle and became a symbol of war. Revelation 19:11 ‘I saw Heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness does He judge and make war.’ Spiritual warfare, as we will see in this entire study on Nehemiah, is a requirement of every Christian because we are all in a battle whether we know it or not. It is also interesting that the horse gate follows the water (word) gate for as the word goes forth the spiritual warfare is sure to increase!	Prophetic aspect: Horses speak of speed and war. From the 1900’s onwards both of these certainly apply! The speed of medical, technological, industrial and scientific advancements was beyond comparison. And yet with it came two world wars, countless wars between nations and constant ethnic unrest. For the church it has been one battle after another with the rise of the cults, Biblical criticism. Modernism and liberalism leading to an increasing apostasy within the church. The ultimate fulfilment prophetically of the horse gate will be in the Tribulation – the Day of the Lord as described in Revelation 6-19.
East Gate (Neh 3:29) The East gate is located on the opposite side of the Mount of Olives.	Personal aspect: Ezekiel 44:1-3 ‘… the gate that looked toward the east, and it was shut. The Lord said to me, ‘This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the Lord God of Israel has entered by it.’ The east gate opens and looks toward the Mount of Olives and we know that when Jesus returns He will return to this mount. (Zech 14:4). He will then enter Jerusalem by the east gate. The east gate then speaks of the return of Jesus Christ. For our Christian life it shows us of our need to live with this hope and to long for His return. A specific crown is even given to those who do this (2 Tim 4:8).	Prophetic aspect: Please take note how the last three gates (Horse, East and Inspection gate) in the picture are very close together because so are the events which they symbolise. Prophetically the east gate is very close to the horse gate because the day of God’s wrath ends with the coming of the Lord Jesus to Jerusalem on earth. (See Zech chapter 14).
Inspection Gate (Neh 3:31) Also known as the Miphkad gate. The word in Hebrew has a military connection and according to tradition it was at this gate that David would meet his troops to inspect them.	Personal aspect: The final gate is the inspection gate. This gate speaks to us of the examination of our lives by the Lord. This occurs in this life as indicated by Paul in 1 Cor 4:4: ‘For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.’ The ultimate fulfilment is at the Bema seat of Christ (as spoken of in 1 Cor 3:10-15, 2 Cor 5:10) where our lives are inspected and rewarded appropriately. In our Christian experience we should be living with this in mind. We are called to live our lives with eternity in view, caring more for the things of eternity than the temporal that we see around us.	Prophetic aspect: Following the return of the Lord there is a judgement of the nations that will occur as well. This is recorded in the sheep and the goats judgement in Mathew 25:31-46. From here he will separate all the people who survived the tribulation into those that can enter into His kingdom on earth (sheep) and those that are to go into everlasting destruction (the goats). And then the Lion of Judah shall reign in His Messianic Kingdom!

The lives and attitudes of the workers.

There are a few more important points that can come out of a chapter like this, which should be stated. So far we have looked at the gates and their spiritual meaning, but there are other points from the lives of the workers that we can learn from.

THE TWELVE GATES OF JERUSALEM
(Nehemiah, chs. 3 and 12)¹ 

1. The Valley Gate (2:13; 3:13).  Cp. 2Chron. 26:9.

There  was a man in scripture who was driven into the outlands without having any choice. He was taken out by his own groupings of people due to hatred, and having no one to turn to makes it worse. But I found out lately in life as I read and study more of this story I come to the understanding that Yes YHWH has not send the struggles or problems our way but when they do arrived he uses it as a tool to teach us.  here is Dawid – david  wonder off to a very dangerous zone – what I called shaking hands with your enemy – he was sent there though someone who had no understanding of visions and dreams which was king Sah’ul so what he did is hunting Dawid life down until he ended up with King Akish – the very place that was so wrong for Yisra’el – Isreal and therefore he was with his enemies the Pelishities. Bear in mind these are the same people who was fighting against the name of Yisra’el – so how can this look  right ! that they are a protection for Dawid? Dose this sound right to the ear? it is not!!! Its more like a mockery to me than a protection but this is how the enemy works – uses pretense as a hard weapon to the mind and when that thought gets into the minds of the human system it begins to operates in a different manner by bring pressure and fear on you. I m a subject of what am writing here. You see for years I grow up not having the knowledge that I was seen in the eyes of my family as a doofus so most of my adult years I had been use and be place as ones slave until one day the father woke my spirit up and said me you have to rise up and move on – you have to open your mouth and speak – when I did that oh my gosh that break the camel’s  back like a wild fire that every person that hangs around me was shock because this isn’t like Patricia so what had awoken her and how did I know that I had been walking divine deliverance; from the reaction and I thank my Elohim for seeing me though this.. Remember at one part King Sha’ul never knew who Dawid was because I will go so far to say when human beings sees you as a doofus they don’t know your DNA nor your name because all you are to them is a fool and a slave. But this same Dawid said that he rather falls into the hands of Eloah than to fall into the hands of men. Please stop and shut down this doofus door because all it dose is to hurt you and suppress you which will lead your Nephesh – soul to a place of no return. So if you are reading this – know to yourself that Eloah is giving you a second chance to wake from your stupor. I was like this for years and only in my forties I was able to understand what am writing here today. I always hear you never too old to learn – well I m not sure if this statement is correct but what I can say for me – yes it do works for me. Now please my readers don’t get me wrong what works for me may or may not work for you but there are other tools you can draw from this information to help with your situation. I was never a scholar but what I can tell you my friend the Ruach Ha Qodesh  – the holy spirit for some is who educated me and if he can work with me I know he can with you.

For Elohim is not of disorder but of peace as in all the assembles of the qodeshim

Look at Yeshayahu – Isaiah 43:5 and I quote  Do not fear, for  I am with you. I shall bring your seed from the esat “Qaddam” , and gather you from the west  “Yahm”

we are to bend our ears in the word to hear the voice of Eloah – god , people do have problems understanding how can they really hear the voice of YHWH. So just want to address this here today that all it takes is for you to wash yourself with the word and then begin to read it and you will hear him speak to you.

He said in the Torah if we guided his Torah he promise to see through . this is what is said in the book of DEBARIM – Deuteronomy Chapter 4

Now according to my opinion I read in the gospel where Yahshua was walking in the Miqdash, in the porch of Shelomoh . and it tells you it was in the season of Hanukkah. Now why would Yahshua walking at this time!!

My opinion on this is that he had been showing us that our lives has been separated far away from light which is him and he happens to be there to shows us that he comes to our rescue

Just bearing in mind that it was winter when  Yahshua so happen to be walking in the miqdash and this means when the troubles of this world just overwhelm that we always glad if someone powerful can come to our rescue. I see our savior always there for us but all we need to do is believed in him.

See YOHANAN {JOHN} 10:22-23

The Memorah has 7 candle whereas you see the Hankiah has 8 and the middle one is called the Shamash

Candles are place from right to lift

the lights place from lift to right

For those who wants to observed this season instead of christmas  but don’t know how….this is the way you do it each day by prayer

1.  Baruk Are You YHWH our Elohim, ruler of the universe, who has sanctify us with your commandments and commanded us to kindle the lights of Hanukkah
2. Who makes miracles for our fore fathers in those days at this time
3. Who has kept us alive sustain us and brought us to this season

Activities in this season – to keep the children from not feeling bored because ha satan has given out his lies on the 25 of december where santa comes with gifts and the kids had been looking forward to such gifts… so what you will do during this time is everyday you give money and gift for 8 days 

lots of games are played during the time of Hanukkah. The most popular is ‘dreidel‘ (Yiddish) or ‘sivivon‘ (Hebrew). It’s a four sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side. 

How do you play with a dreidel

Every time it’s your turn you spin the dreidel once, depending on the outcome you give to or get pieces from the pot. If you get “Nun” (for “Nischt” meaning Nothing) then you do nothing. If you get “Gimmel” (for “Gantz” meaning “Everything”) then you get the entire pot.

For 8 days we celebrate the conception of Ha Mashiach , Mary was visited by Ruach Ha Qodesh, We rededicated our lives during 8 days. 8 being the # of a New Creation Mary 1st Tabernacle for Elohim, It was the first time when the light was presented. 

Hanukkah begins today December 12 going until december 20 2017 – this morning I was reading the book of Shemoth chapter 29 and the information that the father gives me shock me out of myself that I had to share it here:

Now Day 1 deals with three concept :—–

• Clothing – and this speaks of the physical temple that was broken down after due to rebellion. When that happen we had no Way – therefore YHWH had to send his YUHCHID – to reestablish it back together – and this is what YUHSHUA did when he came , to mend what was broken and find all that was lost. In Yohanan chaper 10 he himself said that there was none that is lost because his body did it. Now all of this is seen in the Torah  where the father said to Mosheh this is the task you shall do to them to qadosh them to serve as kohenim and he give some orders what was expected – these include  the young bull and two rams – the father said that the Bull represent the divine authority because if you don’t have divine authority then its not legit when it comes to the earth whereas one ram is a picture of his YUHCHID and the other is body which is the congregation. Unleavened bread; Next is Unleavened cakes mixed with oil; Unleavened wafers anointed with oil – they are to be made from Wheat Flour – unleavened means darkness is disallowed – Cakes speaks of the nature in which we read the word – in other words how do me digest it and the oil is the Ruach who gives the revelation of that read word – the Wafers stands for the people who fully committed they lives to YHWH and truly guided his commands and follow every thing that he said, so his Ruach  anointed them by placing a mark. This he instructed us to put them in one basket which identify with the statement YUHSHUA said in Yohanan 10 :16 – And other sheep I have which are not of this fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. This covers the verses 1 thru 3 in the book of shemoth 29.
• Presentation – Then you should bring Aharon and his sons to the door of the Tent of Appointment, and wash them with water ( s.v.4),. Now the death of Yuhshua join together and form into one unit – scripture define it in this manner- Truly, truly, I say to you unless a grain of Wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit ( see Yohanan 12:24) the grain of wheat is a picture of Yaushua’s body which went into the ground and dies and after three days comes to life – now if his ben had not come to the earth, man would not have the opportunity to walk into light – which proved by scripture it will remain alone. Now because of Yuhshua’s body being the door man has access to enter into eternal light and have greater advancement to possess the eternal dwelling place. We also see where Mosheh was instructed by the father to wash Aharon and his sons – this means as we turn the pages of the Tanakh the words washes us and purifies our minds and bodies to prepared us for divine downloads. Some one may asked what the word Tanakh mean – I will have it right here in brackets for you [ Tanakh is an acronym of the first Hebrew letter of each of the Masoretic Text’s three traditional subdivisions: Torah (“Teaching”, also known as the Five Books of Moses), Nevi’im (“Prophets”) and Ketuvim (“Writings”)—hence TaNaKh. ]. We also see as we do teshuvah ( repentance ) thru Yuhshua’s body his body took us to the Tent of Appointment which is the symbol of YHWH himself – in the book of Hazon ( revelation ) Yohanan said he hasn’t seen any physical temple but it was all radiated so this radiation that Yohanan saw is the divine dwelling place. verse 5 thru 6 speaks about the different stages man’s life go through during this  time of Hanukkah – we see proper clothing Aharon  had to wear and within those garments there was a piece called the shoulder garment on my take on this i believe this is speaking about the maturity level of our life – it is expected of us not to be too childish to the extent that we can not carry out the task that’s assigned to us. And shall take the anointing oil, and pour it on his head and anoint him ( s.v 7) The pouring of the oil is the source of the Ruach ha qodesh so his job  is, when we are finish up with our cleansing he sealed us – when that oil was pour on the Kohen ha Gadol’s head it flow down to his beard which tells you the growth and this growth birth into a congregation .
• This next level birth us out after our cleansing it give us  a status forever but in order for this to be in operation we must first keep with the requirements by girdling our bodies with all the mitsvah (commandments)

Day 2 with three concept :

• BULL – ( Sin offering) the priest is required to lay they hands on the head – this is breaking one authority to establish another – as it is brought to the tent of appointment – it is to be slaughter – meaning we must crucified the flesh before the blood can be sprinkled and used for our atonement. our duty is to make sure that we pour our all on the altar – making sure that we are honest with everything we do in order for us to received our full redemption. Now according to the scripture  a sin offering is to be consume and consume means to Eat , Drink or Ingest.

This is what the Jewish Encyclopedia says and I quote:

SIN-OFFERING.

By: Joseph Jacobs, George A. Barton, M. Seligsohn, Emil G. Hirsch

The sin-offering proper is a sacrifice consisting of either a beast or a fowl and offered on the altar to atone for a sin committed unwittingly. The rules concerning the sin-offering are as follows: If the anointed priest or the whole congregation commits a sin through ignorance, the sin-offering is a young bullock without blemish. Should the ruler so sin, his offering is a male kid without blemish. But when a private individual sins, his offering must be either a female kid or a female lamb without blemish, or, if he is too poor to provide one of these, a turtle-dove.

Sin-offerings were brought on other occasions also. On the Day of Atonement the high priest inaugurated the festival with two sin-offerings—a bullock as his own offering, and a male kid for the congregation. The flesh of these was not eaten, but after the fat had been removed the carcasses were burned outside the camp (Lev. xvi. 3, 5, 10-11, 25, 27). A woman, after the days of her purification had been fulfilled, was required to bring a dove for a sin-offering, in addition to a burnt offering. A leper, on the day of his cleansing, was required to bring, besides other offerings, a female lamb or, if he were too poor, a dove for a sin-offering (Lev. xii. 6; xiv. 10, 19, 22).

Sin-offerings formed a part of inaugural and dedicatory ceremonies. Thus, when Aaron and his sons were inaugurated into the priesthood, one of the sacrifices was a sin-offering consisting of a bullock, the flesh of which was burned outside the camp (Ex. xxix. 1, 10-14; Lev. viii. 14-17). Eight days later Aaron brought a calf, and the Israelites brought a small kid, as sin-offerings (Lev. ix. 2-10). At the dedication of the altar each of the twelve princes offered a male kid (Num. vii. 16 et passim). The sacrifices of those who returned from captivity with Ezra included twelve he-goats (Ezra viii. 35).

Ritual of the Sin-Offering.

The ritual of the sin-offering was as follows: If the victim were a quadruped, the offerer confessed his sins over the head of the victim and slew it himself (comp. Lev. iv. 4, 15, 24, 29). The place of slaughter was on the north side of the altar (comp. ib. i. 11 and ib. iv. 19 [A. V. 25]). The priest took some of the blood and sprinkled it before the veil (ib. iv. 5 [6]), or, on the Day of Atonement, before the mercy-seat (ib. xvi. 15); this he did seven times, and then smeared some on the horns of the altar. The remainder of the blood was poured out at the base of the altar of burnt offering. The internal fat of the animal, with the caul, liver, and kidneys, was burned upon the altar of burnt offering. In early times the flesh belonged to the priests (comp. Hos. iv. 8 and Lev. vi. 22 [29]), though it was sacrosanct, making everything which touched it holy, and might be eaten by priests alone. The law of Lev. iv. prescribed that the flesh, together with the hide, head, legs, viscera, and dung, should be burned outside the Temple. The blood was so holy that an earthen vessel which touched it was to be broken, and a brazen vessel scoured (ib. vi. 21 [28]).

When the victim was a bird the priest pinched off its head with his thumb-nail (ib. v. 8; but see Jew. Encyc. x. 619b, s. v. Sacrifice), and sprinkled its blood without dividing the carcass. A second bird was offered as a burnt sacrifice. When an offering of fine flour was made, the priest burned a handful of it on the altar and retained the rest for himself (ib. v. 11-13).

• The first Ram – we see the laying on of hands – it means we must be involve in every step of our consecration – this right here was burnt entirely and given to total surrender – we also see that Yuhshua was in one accord with father because that day when he went on that stake – yes he did say if its possible to take this cup away but he quickly fall back into motion and said never the less not my will but yours be done on my life so from his words we rightly understand that we are to do the exact way Yuhshua shows us if we desire change. His death on the stake is a an example for us that there is no turning back as long we sign up for divine change – take for example the United States Army !!! when you sign up to join there is no turning back – yes we all sign up for different things we may want to accomplish in life so we say if we join the army we can achieved greatness but what people don’t know until they fully enter the army there is something call a boot camp which every person must undertake. At this place will teach us and to let us know ourselves what really we are capable for and how ready are we!! ( Capable means having the ability, fitness, or quality necessary to do or achieve a specified thing.) and this should be our goal when we go on the treadmill to tread off the skin of sin – You see with believers we don’t want to go through nothing – so we are crying out for the father to take us, little do me know there’s no coming back out as long we signed up – its a boot camp – You remember Yuhshua’s words in Luqas (Luke) 9:62? But Yuhshua said to him, No one, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of Elohim. And after reading this!!! what do you draw from it?
• Second Ram deals with the ordination section of man’s life (s.v.19-22) – we need to be called and be chosen therefore we can’t just maintain ourselves so we need to sit and with at the altar until He calls our names to move into position. Some of us is indeed moving in pride and so we are not solely depending on him – our lips saying one thing but our action is saying another thing. I have news for you! in this place we can’t have  two opinions we must have one mind, one heart, one direction, one destine and one hope. Listen! what did we learn from the Navi ( prophet ) Eliyahu (Elijah) in 1 Melakim (Kings) 18:21 – And EliYahu came to all the people, and said, how long would you keep hopping between two opinions? If YHWH is Elohim, follow Him; and if Ba’al, follow him. but the people answered him not a word.

Day 3 with three concept :

• Bread ( s.v.23-25) Mosheh place these item into the hand Aharon and his sons for them to wave it before YHWH – this speaks of the Innocent that is birth after the effect. Now when you become innocent it transmits to the purification of integrity which the flesh takes away by force and you had lost not only your virginity but your virtue. So as we go in depth thru prayers – this kind is what breaks out into the renewal zone and cause us to pinch ourselves  by saying is this me!!! Look what Eloah has done for me – this is what Sha’ul meant in 2 Qorintiyim ( Corinthians ) 5:17, Therefore if anyone is in Mashiah, he is a renewed creature  – the old have passed away, see, all have become renewed. so when Yuhshua take the bread, he give thanks, broke it and give it to them, saying this is my body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of me – ref Luqas 22:19.  the bread is a picture of Yuhshua’s body – therefore in our walk with him we have to exchange something that is once fragile for fruitfulness and this is by eating the word. In so doing it brings us to a proper state of mind
• Breast ( s.v.26 ) is the solid part of an animal and it produces the productivity that the body needed – this is call our primary stage but we are to understand how it operates in order to get the right nutrition from it. In other words learn the process by dissecting it for oneself and when you draw out the plan what was analyze then you are required to apply it. The application is the key that unlocks the door and open to a peaceful state of mind
• Thigh ( s.v. 26 -28 ) and the Breast is a combination of the two – because one of them is wave whereas the other one is raised – the wave comes from the ordination offering which specify the set a part level of this consecration and the second part is the Thigh being raised which means an elevation to a higher position – remember we were at the level of waving back and fro ! but now we are moving on, to a much more higher standard in our journey which means we do not remain at the same level in our walk with Elohim. From this I can rightly say the thigh is what carries and give us the oat to lay hold on our promise state, take Avraham for instance what did he told his servant Ela’zar to do when he sent him on a mission to search for a wife for his son Yitshaq!!! He told his servant to put his hand under his thigh and to swear by YHWH the Elohim of the shamayim and the Elohim of the earth, that you do not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the kena’anites, among whom I dwell – Bereshith 24:2-3. Now according to the rabbis this is what they say the word thigh means in Hebrew – oath means seven and thigh was thought to play a part in procreation ( Bereshith 46:26; Shemoth 1:5 ) so Avraham servant bow seven times in taking the oath

Day 4 with three concepts:

• Garments which is the picture of man’s covering – to keep  from shame and disgrace. Now am not dealing with the physical nakedness but I want to cover the spiritual clothing. I believe this is what the father’s word is all about – we much be dressed well so when the enemy comes in like a flood he can not take us out. Like our foreparents in the garden of Eden Adam and Hawwah   –  the scripture shows that they both knew that they were naked – and this was not pertaining to the physical side of ish but the more spiritual .. I will prove this  to you , in the book of Bereshith this is what scripture said about the first time the word naked appear : And they were both naked, ha ish and Ishshah, yet they were not ashamed (2:25). this part speaks of they physical – which scripture point out that they both had knowledge on. I don’t believe that this was the father’s plan to leave them uncovered but knowing the way man works we just can not wait and in the process of that sin step right in – this is the reason why it is always important for us to wait on him patiently. The next place is seen in chapter 3:7 : Then the eyes of both of them were open, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together and made loin coverings for themselves. How do I know that this was the spiritual side!!! because of the action taken here ie. sewing fig leaves for themselves to cover from the loins down- which means they understand that the ruah had left  them and today they souls left open to the world. The final step is seen in verse 21 : And YHWH Elohim made coats of skin ( in the hebrew:  (kethoneth or kuttoneth called tunic)  for ha ish and ishshah and dressed them. So this skin we see came off from an animal that’s dead and being made into a garment – which is saying something has to died  in order to atone  for man’s sins – so this is the picture here with Aharon and his sons  the garment being pass down only to those who follow the way.
• Qodesh Cooking is the sealed of consuming the rich foods in our system, so we can operate in his right perpetual way. Foods has a lot to do with our cleansing – if we claim to be Torah followers and yet being found eating pig and rabbits etc then our action is contradicting what Torah laws says about these unclean animals/ according to our studies from Shemoth 29 we see where Aharon and his sons are to cook this meal in a qodesh place and they are to now eat the flesh of the ordination ram along with the bread that was in the basket. Now it strictly declare the order of the way the food should be eaten and who are allowed to take part knowing it is a meal of atonement for ones life and if any is left over it is to be burnt by fire. This phase no “Stranger”  shows very specifically that no foreign thing is allow to enter thru the mouth of this consecrated vessel because it is Qodesh – this includes our walk, our speaking and our whole demeanor.
• The continual act is the status given and is expected to be carry out at all cause. s.v. 29 -45.

Day 5 with three concept:

• The Altar in a human body is the heart chamber where the blood pumps from and travel through the body – it washes and take out all waste from the human system , therefore the human heart is an organ that pumps blood throughout the body via the circulatory system, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes. Below is just for my readers to see what the heart looks like and its function. I know sometimes its difficult to understand but the blood of YUHSHUA atones for our life – when we sprinkle or apply his blood the effect of it do show forth. Each day of our lives we are suppose to make an atonement and qodesh it 
• The Mind – after applying the blood and making atonement the next stage is our perception – how we view and see things – this too has to be alter or else it will lead us astray. Why! the mind I call it the scavenger for the body because this is the place where all debris passing and most likely its a holding place for all the earthly traffics – so oh this section of the human body has to be taken care of. The mind is a set of cognitive faculties including consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, and memory.The three functions of the mind — thoughts, feelings and desires — can be guided or directed either by one’s native egocentrism or by one’s potential rational capacities. Egocentric tendencies function automatically and unconsciously. You can work with everything in your prayers but if you don’t touch the control of the mind – you are doing nothing – because this is a stronghold that needs to broken and not by fleshly authority but by the power of prayer thru the applying of the blood. This is no place to take lightly – it is strong enough to break down your momentum – when you are on the journey and have gotten so far no one wants something to hinder them – so check out this place our mind and start with all those emotional problems that may wants to pop up at any moment.
• The Body is like a pool or sea that holds the inhabitants of the resources – Our bodies is like a resource reservoir that holds the contents. So my take on this because we are the vessels that the father uses to house his glory – don’t you think it will be best to bring this too under the blood of YUHSHUA and let him covers it

Day 6 with three concept:

• Lambs allude to the service and worship – now we know it is impossible to worship Elohim without the shedding of the skin. What do I mean by that!!! I mean one has to died first by laying all the things of the world and leave it behind – in other words your flesh should feel it then you really know yes am indeed making a move for change. so in the time of slaughtering one will take their pet animal to offer it up – by doing this it will rest very deeply on their heart because that animal had meant something valuable to them – so you will feel lost and that empty place is where YUHSHUA will take and make his dwelling – now this is expected to be done not once / twice but on a continual process. Watch this – in the book of Yohanan 3 it says that For Elohim so loved the world that He gave his only brought forth Ben, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting hai ( s.v.16). Our father takes the lead by showing us this perfect example by allowing his YUHCHID to step into this world and manifest his divine body to become us – same Yohanan said and the word became flesh and pitched his tent among us, and we saw his esteem, esteem as of an only brought – forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.
• Preparation of your life so it can hook into the format of the word – remember our life is already map out – all is needed here is for us to take the instructions and follow it – but you can’t follow something if you yourself has not come to that place of servanthood!!! because then you will be telling yourself am not doing this nor that. And the reason for this – no one can’t co-operate if unity isn’t living in them, so this is how you will know yourself. You may try to deny the fact that’s not true but in true reality when you look yourself in that mirror it shows you yes you are that man. Look the Torah that we read taught us these guidelines the Kohens could not have go into the inner sanctuary unless they washed at the bronze laver.  And the reason for being at the laver  is that you can see your reflection and know immediately you are not ready. Our savior served – he himself said these words even as the Ben of Adam did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his hai as a ransom for many. ( MatthithYahu 20:28; Marqos 10:45; Yohanan 13:1-17 ).

The laver was made from the bronze mirrors of the women’The Bronze Laver’ (Ex 30:17-21)

I place the link right above – you read the The laver was made from the bronze mirrors – click on that an it will take you across to this study below about the Laver.

It was here at the bronze laver that the priests washed their hands and feet before entering into and coming out of the holy place. The laver was made from the bronze mirrors of the women and filled with water for the continual cleansing of the priests as they ministered in the work of the Lord.

Exod 30:17-21 “Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: You shall also make a laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, for Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the LORD, they shall wash with water, lest they die. So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And it shall be a statute forever to them– to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”

Its Name

The word “laver” means a bath or wash basin containing water for the purpose of washing. The Jewish priests were commanded to continually wash their hands and feet during tabernacle service.

Its Position

The laver was placed between the door of the Holy Place and the altar.

(1) It came after the altar (sacrifice first)

The appointed priest, as he entered the gate of the outer court, faced the altar, where he made a sacrifice for himself like any other Israelite. Once beyond the altar he was ready to act as a serving priest and so at the laver he prepared himself for the further service of God. He could then minister at the altar or in the Holy Place because he washed at the laver.

The altar always came first for the priest. Salvation and then service. God was approached by way of the blood and the water.

(2) It came before the door (wash before entering)

Within the door of the Holy Place were vessels that represented God Himself. No priest dare enter with any trace of uncleanness. “Be holy as I am holy” was commanded to the priests.

(3) It came after leaving the Holy Place (wash before going out)

In the outer court everything was bronze. Inside the Holy Place everything was gold. As the priest came out of Gods Presence and back into service he washed at the laver.

• When you are in total submission in Torah – your heart goes places that you haven’t gone while being on the outer court. You see the outer court experience isn’t for us to remain there forever – it was done in such of  a way so for us to move to our next level but most times we allow  our mind to lead us instead of the mind of our heart to direct our move, so we left in a delayed mood and in that process of time we just issue words of idleness. Our offerings which is our lives has to be mixed with these different ingredients – therefore in the process of trying to get all these to flavor our lives we won’t get the time to entertain falsehood – we much have the fine flour – the oil and wine in our domain so to function 

Day 7 with three concept:

• Preparing the lamb for the evening which brings us into our new day-from the evening the new day begins according to the biblical calendar.first of all we must move by freedom of choice and not force into anything that you yourself has not ready to do. A grain offering is an offering that protects  from danger – today as I was studying the word, my eyes open to a portion of scipture in 2 Shemu’el 17 taken from the nineteeen verse. Now before I go there please let me back up a bit here on this story – the scripture was talking about Dawid who had to run from his palace into the wilderness just for a time – sometimes in our walk in Elohim we fail not to see the real spiritual plan for our lives – so we get distracted with the darts and arrows. But in my personal experience – no one tells me this, I found out that YHWH uses our earthly situation to test us just to know if we are fully prepared to go all the way. And oh please don’t you beat me in the face not yet because I have scripture to back up what am saying. Remember when the children Yisra’el came out and they were travelling through the desert what did Mosheh said to them!!! He said this to them from the book of Debarim (Deuteronomy) chapter 8 and I qoute: ” Guard to do every Command which I command you today, that you might live, and shall increase, and go in, and shall possess the land of which YHWH swore to your fathers. And shall remember that YHWH your Elohim led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, prove you, to know what is in your heart, whether you guard his commands or not – s.v.1-2) Having said all this lets go back to where my landmark is 2 Shemu’el 17 because the scripture above support the way am going – we had been talking about the grain offering and I had wanted to use this text from 2 Shemu’el but I couldn’t use it until I explain fully from scriptures what am saying. Now like I said today when I read this my eyes pop open to this great knowledge that grain protects you from harm. Let me quote what it said, verse 19 – And the woman took and spread a covering over the wells mouth, and spread ground grain on it, so the matter was not known. So when Abshalom and his army came they never did find those two men who was hiding under the purification and protection of man’s life. Due to the grain protecting them they were able to carry out the message to Dawid who was hiding in the wilderness from his son.
• The drink offering is the blood that shed for man’s sins thru YUHSHUA ‘s body – which indicates that while YUHSHUA was on the stake he was drench in blood and it flood the earth – the blood pours out on the altar  foreshadow  the death of YUHSHUA and it also mark those who are his. can you see why the drink offering is so important!! Even Shau’el mention these words in the book of Pilpiyim (Philippians) 2:17 he said: in fact even if I m being poured out as a drink offering on the offering and service of your belief, I m glad and rejoice with you all. Right after this we see where Sha’ul saying in 2 Timotiyos (Timothy) 4:6 – For I m already being poured out, and the time of my departure as arrived. What is Sha’ul talking about! he is saying all who have the mark of the blood of Mashiach should be urgent in season and out of season – as long we are on the altar our duties are to remember and keep all that is commanded.
• The burnt offering is a major role in man’s life – here we must already know the ins and the outs of every area. Because it is at this place Eloah is asking us to give our all – we must be fully plug in at this stage. There is no excuse beyond this point we have to be fully committed and avail ourselves for when He calls us on the next assignment . I remember at one stage of my life – I was in a bible discussion when someone asked me this question – if god takes you thru life situation why isn’t he still asking for a whole burnt offering. But you see why question like these will arise to the surface because of not having full understanding on what scripture said.

Day 8 End of Hanukkah

Now according to our studies in the book of Shemoth 29 – the few last verses laid hard on my heart – it said that a continual burnt offering is required throughout your generation.this is speaking about thee way we are to operate in – it is not just for a period of time but it is a lifetime and lifestyle approach. Why did I mention lifestyle!!! because the father will be meeting with us to speak to us and there he shall meet with others who had not been on the journey and he shall qadosh them by his esteem. Right at this place he shall accept our bodies a living serving vessels unto himself and renewed our hearts which is ie. the altar allowing the indwelling ruach to live on in side of us. He is now establishing the leadership on earth who will draw near to him – who goes in and out on behalf of the people to Elohim, Remember Dawid  in the book of 1Shemu’el 18 ? when king Sha’ul had appointing him as commander  to go in and out for the people !!! what happen? the people had liked him so they all were ready to elevate him when that time comes. So with the father he put things in place before the trial – so when the trial is call to bar those before things comes as your advocate and this is who YUHSHUA is to us.  The number (8) is a number of new created things – the scripture said that the father will dwell in the midst of the children of Yisra’el and shall be their Elohim – Now how do you think this happen!! He was able to dwell among us due to our constant washing at the altar – doing as he says and when enough word is in us to level off whatever we are doing on the journey it graduated us into our next level in him. ( See ref: Shemoth 29:42-45)

During my walk in Hanukkah I have learnt some values that teaches my ruah to know him as my true Elohim – who are always there for me and will never forsakes my being.
