WHAT'S ON YOUR MITRE?

Aaron, the high priest of the old covenant, had to have a mitre on his head before entering the Holy of Holies.

Exodus 28:36-38 “And thou shall make a plate of pure gold engrave upon it like the engravings of a signet Holiness to Yahweh. and thou shall put it on a blue lace that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.  And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow and all their holy gifts and it shall be always upon his forehead that they may be accepted before Yahweh.”

He also had to wash his flesh in water and put on holy garments.

Lev 16:4 “He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen britches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water and so put them on.”

Everything (the tabernacle, holy garments, etc.) were done according to a detailed pattern given to Moses from our Creator.

Ex 25:9 “According to all that I show thee after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall you make it.”

This physical tabernacle and high priest are merely a copy of the true Holy of Holies in heaven.

Heb 9:24 “For YahwehShua is not entered into the holy places made with hands which are the figures of the true but into heaven itself now to appear in the presence of Yahweh the Father for us.”

The old physical covenant could only purify or protect the flesh, whereas the new purifies the mind. As a sister once told me “I don't want to hear about the physical I want to hear about the spiritual.”

Heb 9:13-14 “For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh (body): How much more shall the blood of Messiah who through the eternal spirit offered himself up without spot to Yahweh to purge your conscience (mind) from dead works to serve the living YahwehShua.”

Ex 28:34-35 “A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about. And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goes into the holy place before Yahweh (Son) and when he comes out that he die not.”

The old covenant Israelites could only know that Aaron was alive while in the physical Holy of Holies because of the sound of the bell that he wore.  The Israelites could not enter in themselves.  However, in the new covenant we have access to the true holy of holies of the Father in heaven through his Son.

Heb 10:20 “By a new and living way which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say his flesh.”

The scriptures say we must be baptized in the name (not names) of the Father and the Son.

Math 28:19 “Go you therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son” (Some scholars say Holy spirit, but that was not in the original scriptures).

The name YahwehShua contains the name of Father Yahweh and the resurrected Messiah, his son YahwehShua. You will receive a down payment of the spirit of YahwehShua once you are baptized and have hands laid on you by an elder.

If you want ultimate access to the throne room of the Father Yahweh through his son YahwehShua, then you must have the right name on your forehead (mind). Aaron, a physical priest, had the name Yahweh on his mitre, i.e, on his forehead as a figure of the future having YahwehShua on your mind! There is no ultimate access without it. What's on your mitre?

THE WRATH OF YAHWEHSHUA?

In Exodus chapter 32:11, “and Moses besought Yahweh and said, Yahweh why does thy wrath wax hot against thy people which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and the mighty hand?”

In Deuteronomy 32:39, Yahweh says “See now that I am he and there is no other Yahweh besides me. I kill and I make alive I wound and I heal neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”

Galatians 5:22 shows that anger is certainly not one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 notes that anger rests in the bosom of fools.

 Is Yahweh a fool?  Does Yahweh have a fruit of the evil spirit? Yahweh forbid!

The Bible can't contradict itself as a sister once said to me the scriptures “must harmonize”.

Exodus 12:23 has a clue “For Yahweh will pass through to smite the Egyptians and when he sees the blood upon the lintel and the two side posts, Yahweh will pass over the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you”(referring to the first born).

Paul notes in 1st Corinthians 10:10, "neither murmur ye as some of them also murmured and were destroyed of the destroyer.”

The destroyer is none other than the chief Angel Lucifer who fell and now is Satan. You can read about his attributes in many places such as Isaiah 14:12-16 and Ezekiel 28:13 –19. The angels were created by our Creator (the Son) at the direction of the Father, and hence Job chapters 1 and 2 describe the angels appearing before the Creator and are thus called the sons of Yahweh.

In Job 1:10, Satan complains that our Creator had a hedge all around Job and everything that he owned which gives insight as to how our Creator and the angels that haven't fallen provide a hedge and work at the direction of our Creator.  Satan must obtain permission to do anything such as putting thoughts in our head, as noted in Job chapter 1 and 2.

 James 1: 13 shows that Yahweh tempts no one, and is not tempted with evil. “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.”

Did Yahweh sin when he tested Job?  Yahweh forbid!  Satan had to get permission to test Job. Our Creator does this because when we are able to overcome Satan, it permits the growth of Messiah in us and gives us the opportunity of being one of the 144,000 saints.

Satan kept accusing Job and said that Job would curse our Creator when he was tempted. I'm sure Satan was accusing Abraham as well and said, if you tell him to kill his firstborn son Isaac, he'll curse you to your face.  Of course, our Creator already knew what Abraham would do, whereas Satan did not.

Our Creator knows that the adversary, Satan, will never repent which is why John 16:11 says the Prince of this world is judged. Our Creator can totally count on Satan to be the pruning shears or the wrath of Yahweh, but only after he gets permission to do so.

Our Creator loves all his creation, even all his angels.  He just does not love our sinful thoughts or actions. Paul asks in Romans 9:22, “what if Yahweh willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction?” The vessels of wrath are Satan, the fallen Angels and the humans that follow him. As the vessels of wrath, they can respond to Satan’s evil spirit and place evil thoughts in our minds   Again, he has to get permission from our Creator to even put an evil thought into us, as demonstrated in Job.

Colossians 1:16-17 “For by him [the son] were all things created that are in heaven, and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist”. This leaves no doubt that our Creator created the seen and unseen world including the angels and is in control of everything.  The hedge over his creation is a method that is used to control events.  If the hedge is lowered around people, they may fall prey to Satan’s wishes.  As a result, they may be tossed into the lake of fire by the adversary and the fallen angels.  The devil and the fallen Angels are also thrown into the lake of fire in Revelation 20:10. Perhaps our Creator puts down the hedge around Satan and the fallen angels, and they then burn up. Indeed, Ezekiel 28:18 says "thou has defiled the sanctuaries by the multitude of the iniquities by the iniquity of thy traffic therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee and it shall devour thee and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth and the sight of all them that behold thee.”

We know the word “forever” in Hebrew is olam and it means a period of time. Jonah was in the belly of the great fish “forever” and actually it was only 3 days.  Thus, when physical or spiritual bodies hit the lake of fire, their bodies will be destroyed possibly in two or three microseconds and their spirit returns to the Father.

It's the greatest plan of all time that the Father and Son planned long ago. They foresaw the fall of Lucifer and he now is the wrath of Yahweh and is used by Yahweh to prune those that are becoming Saints in this age and the innumerable multitude in the first hundred years of the last great day.

FEAST OF SHOUTING (aka Trumpets)

The Feast of Shouting at the Seventh Trumpet is a very important time for the Saints. This is when 144,000 Saints will be resurrected or allowed to be transformed into a spiritual body and meet our Creator in the sky and be with him forever more.  Be sure to read all the articles by Bob Bondurant on this website regarding the fall feasts and the Feast of Shouting.

For three-and-a-half years prior to the Seventh Trumpet (when our Creator returns), there will be two physical witnesses testifying against all the earth for 1260 days in Jerusalem (this is 42 months of 30-day months where the moon is not seen for three and a half years).  These 2 witnesses will be testifying during the Seven Seals when the Four Horsemen kill over one-fourth of the population on the planet (Revelation Chapter 6).  They also will be testifying during the Seven Trumpets that make up the Seventh Seal (Revelation, chapters 8, 9 and 10).  During Trumpets, another third of the people on the planet are destroyed (Revelation 8:8).  Revelation 17:15 shows the false assembly (harlot) is sitting on waters and the waters are people that speak different languages.  In addition, during their three-and-a-half years of prophecy, there is likely to be a three-and-a-half-year period of worldwide drought (Revelation 11:6).  After three-and-a-half years, the false Messiah, which is a human, shall kill them. The two witnesses’ dead bodies shall lay in the street for three-and-a-half days, and then the spirit of life (pneuma) from our Father enters into their bodies and are instantly transformed into spiritual bodies, and then go up to meet the Messiah in a cloud and this is the Seventh Trump.

 I suspect that they are the first two out of the 144,000 which will be placed into spiritual bodies at that point in time and sent up to meet Yahweh Shua, our Creator Messiah (Revelation Chapter 11).  In addition, Revelation 11:13 indicates that there is a great earthquake and a tenth part of the city of Jerusalem falls.   7000 men are slain suggesting at that point in time Jerusalem will only have a population of 70,000 people which is much smaller than it is today. This is likely due to the mass deaths caused by the Four Seals, one-fourth of the planet, and the mass deaths caused by the Seven Trumpets, which is another third of the planet. 

I suspect the two physical witnesses will actually be Elias and Moses, because they are visualized at the transfiguration, and Moses as well as Elias are the only two physical persons besides our Creator who were able to fast for 40 days and 40 nights without food and water. Our Creator extended Lazarus’ physical life after being dead four days.  He can extend the physical life for Moses and Elias after 4000 years or four days.  See the article on this website on Life and Death.

Revelation, chapter 17, shows that the great prostitute (harlot) that sits upon many waters is symbolic for the false assemblies or false ekklesia of Satan which rule over waters which are described in chapter 17 as the multitude of nations that speak many different languages.  She is also sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast and the beast is also symbolic of people, described in Revelation 13.

Revelation chapter 13:1 shows that the first beast, meaning people, rise up out of the sea (letting the bible interpret itself, based on Revelation 17).  These people control Satan’s kingdom consisting of the world’s economic systems, educational systems, governmental systems, and the various false religions (false assemblies).  Thus, people are making an image (or false idol, false deity) out of sports heroes, economic systems, education systems, false assemblies, false churches, money, beauty, etc. thus putting their trust in everything other than our Creator.

The second beast in Revelation 13:11 has two horns like a lamb and speaks like a dragon and exercises all the power of the first beast before him and causes the earth and all those that dwell therein to worship the first beast.  The second beast is a human anti-Messiah with power similar to our Creator and who speaks like the dragon.  He will do great wonders so that he makes fire come down from heaven in the sight of men, Revelation 13:13. He has power to give life to the image (false idol, false gods) of the beast i.e., people controlling the various institutions in the world.  This first beast is creation or people.  Image is the false idol, false deity, money such as world economic system, governments with armies, world government systems, school, and world educational systems.  Unlike Elias, no one will be hurt when this fire comes down.  Also, you have to turn on the TV to see this or be there to witness unlike when our Creator actually comes when every eye will see him simultaneously.  This is confirmed in chapters 24 in Matthew, chapter 13 in Mark, and chapter 21 in Luke.

The mark of the beast is no chip; it is the absence of the mark of our Creator. Thus, the mark of the beast are in people who do not realize that the seventh-day Sabbath is a holy day wherein one puts aside their regular occupation and seeks a closer relationship with our Creator.  People that have the mark of the beast are people that lack the symbolic mark of our Creator. They work any day they want and do not set aside the feast days such as the seventh-day Sabbath and the annual Sabbaths.  Remember the scriptures about manna. Our Creator taught the Israelites to take one day off on the seventh day (Saturday) and would bless them with twice as much manna on the sixth day. Six days a week you work to get manna! On the seventh day you receive the true manna (our Creator) when you assemble with your spiritual family for a holy convocation.

Thus, we see the adversary (Satan) who controls the second beast will control the first beast (people) that controls world government economies, educational systems, and ecclesiastical systems. People will seek after the beast (beast = creature = creation) and place all their faith in governments, armies, money, looks, riches, and other people, etc., thus worshiping the creation rather the Creator.

First Thessalonians 4:16 and first Corinthians 15:53 both confirm that our Creator is returning at the Seventh Trumpet with the shout from the archangel of Yahweh.  2Timothy 3:1 confirms that prior to the Seventh Trump will be a perilous time for any human being.

In Luke, chapter 21:36, our Creator tells us to pray always that we may be accounted worthy to escape all things that are coming at the end of the age and to be able to stand before him and be a part of the 144,000.

When we as believers keep the Feast of Shouting, it is a day of celebration as we look forward to our union with the Messiah.

Rest assured that every detail has been planned and thought out by the Father Yahweh and our Creator Yahweh Shua. Nothing has been left to chance and they have a perfect plan for every bit of their creation.  If this article interests you, please consider reading the other articles on this website, oldest to newest, and then consider taking the first step. Baptism in the singular name of the Father & Son YahwehShua!

YOM GADOL (The Last Great Day)

Yom Gadol (The Last Great Day) is a new covenant feast and part of the Doctrine of Messiah (Heb 6: 1-2). See the excellent article on this website from 10/20/19 by Bob Bondurant regarding Yom Gadol, and his article from 8/25/18 regarding the New Covenant Feasts of Yahweh.

Prior to the Last Great Day, the adversary will be put away for a thousand years during the Millennial reign of our Creator (Rev 20:1-3). During this millennial reign, children will live to an advanced age and old people will not die.  (Isaiah 65:20)  Since the adversary is put away (no evil spirit will be influencing people's minds), all flesh will know our Creator since ONLY the Holy Spirit will be entering their thoughts. 

After the thousand years are completed, the adversary will be "loosed a little season" (Rev 20:3). Satan shall go out and deceive the nations (Rev 20:7-9). He will prepare to battle and encompass the camp of the Saints in Jerusalem, similar to the Battle of Armageddon prior to the millennium. The Battle of Gog and Magog ends poorly for the adversary and likely the millions of humans that knew our Creator perfectly but were unable to overcome the adversary when he was let out of his prison after the millennium (Rev 20:8-10).

Paul confirms in 1st Corinthians, chapter 6, verse 3 that the Saints will judge the fallen angels in the last great day. Jude confirms in chapter 1:6 that the angels that have fallen are reserved in darkness, that is to say Satan's kingdom, which is this life or the darkness below.

The first hundred years of the last great day is a day of salvation for all flesh and with their perfect knowledge of our Creator gained during the millennium they all will have their chance to overcome the adversary which allows the growth of Messiah and gives them a chance to be in the family as part of the innumerable multitude. So today is a day of salvation for the 144,000 that overcome prior to the seventh trumpet. The first hundred years of the last great day is a day of salvation for all others who are not part of the 144,000 (Isa 49:8). All are given a fair chance to be in the family!

Revelation, chapter 20:12-13, shows that the books are opened (people's deeds) in comparison to another book that is opened, most likely the Bible. Remember every bit of creation including the fallen angels get the free gift of life (Rev 20:14 death is cast into the lake of fire), however, to be in the family requires being called and chosen and the work or deeds is overcoming the adversary. Remember he loves all his creation unconditionally; he just doesn't like our deeds and wrong thoughts.

Remember the Hebrew word olam, or “forever”, is just a period of time as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish forever (olam), but it was just 3 days! Our Creator is not a terrorist. He is not going to punish people eternally even if he allows our physical bodies or the fallen angels spiritual bodies to be burned. They will likely be dead bodies within a few microseconds and their mind or spirit or pneuma will return to the Father asleep (Ecc 12:7, Psa 90:10) until they are given a spiritual body in the new heavens and earth.

Truly, the Last Great Day is graduation day for all creation and is the great plan of all time to be completed by the Son (Alpha & Omega) and the kingdom handed over to the Father from the Son. Pray to the Father in the name of his Son for wisdom and read all of Revelation for blessings, as I don't want to add to or take away from any of our great Creator’s words.

If this inspires you, please consider praying to Father Yahweh in the name of his resurrected Son, YahwehShua, for wisdom and read the other articles on this website starting with the earliest and going forward.

May Yahweh bless your understanding.

MILLENNIAL SACRIFICES

No doubt the single greatest act of kindness of all time was the sacrifice of our Creator, approximately 2,000 years ago, when he took on himself all the sin of the seen and unseen world.  Indeed Romans 5:10 confirms that while we were yet enemies, he reconciled or covered our sin with no repentance required and thus everyone receives the free gift of life.  However, to be in the family, a part of the 144,000, you would have to be called in this age and get baptized in the name of Yahweh Shua and have hands laid on you by an elder and start overcoming the adversary. 

Indeed, Paul confirms that overcoming is what allows the Messiah to be formed in you, and hopefully fully formed at the time of your physical death (Galatians 4:19 and Revelation chapters 1-3).  However, if one is called and chosen in this age, you can be part of the 144,000.  If not, there is another day of salvation in the first 100 years of the last great day. That is when the adversary (Satan) is let out again and people who overcome in that period of time could be part of the innumerable multitude. If you are unable to overcome, you will be given the free gift of life, but live outside the kingdom and be purified. Revelation 21:8 shows unbelievers in the lake of fire which instantly destroys their bodies, but their mind or spirit will go back to the Father.  In Revelation 22:15 we see the same unbelievers living outside the kingdom in the New Heavens and New Earth.

If this one sacrifice by our Creator is the greatest event of all time, why would we again have sacrifices in the millennial kingdom? Hebrews 10:4 confirms that no animal sacrifices could ever take away sins.  Possibly, as some commentators have noted, these sacrifices in the millennium would be a visible reminder or a memorial to what our Messiah’s self-sacrifice actually accomplished, which is life forever for everyone.  Certainly, sacrifices in the old covenant look forward to the day of our Creator’s perfect sacrifice for all sin.

A Sister asked what else could the sacrifices accomplish?  Paul says sacrifices of the new covenantare the sacrifices of our lips. We should offer the sacrifice of praise continually and the fruit of our lips is giving thanks to the name of Yahweh Shua. Paul notes that the old covenant sacrifices could purify the flesh but could not purify the mind like the new covenant (Hebrews 9:13-14). The old covenant ended with the death of our Creator on the beam and the new covenant has better promises. The law is now magnified; it requires getting baptized in the name of Yahweh Shua, getting hands laid on by an elder and then overcoming to the end of your physical life.  During the millennial period, the adversary is put away. There is no overcoming, thus, no growth of Messiah in you and thus no path to salvation.  This is confirmed in Jeremiah 23:6. Righteousness will be restored in preparation of the Father returning after the millennium in the New Heaven and New Earth. Everything will have to be physically cleansed and then eventually all his creation will be spiritually cleansed as well.

These millennial sacrifices may remove uncleanliness similar to the Creator’s instructions to Moses to have people wash their clothes and purify themselves for 3 days prior to his visit to Mt. Sinai. (Ex 19:10-12) In other words, this would prevent humans from defiling the millennial temple. 

There are some differences between the millennial temple of Ezekiel and the old covenant tabernacle and Solomon’s temple, one of which is the sheer size of this new temple that will be on the order of a mile square.  In addition, the scriptures, in particular Isaiah 60:6 and Zechariah, 14:16-19 suggest that gentiles (non-Israelites) during the millennium will be allowed to come to the temple, whereas that was the not the case during the old covenant. Also, in Ezekiel’s temple there is no ark, tablets, mercy seat, veil, candle sticks or show bread.

During the millennium, there is no mention of Pentecost, trumpets or the Day of Shouting  (Ez. 45:17-27); only Passover, unleavened bread, and tabernacles. Pentecost is likely on pause until the last great day when the Holy Spirit will be needed for overcoming. The day of coverings was done away by our Creator’s sacrifice. (Please see Bob Bondurant’s article posted August 25, 2018, titled “The new covenant feasts of Yahweh”) The Day of Shouting ends at the 7th trump prior to the millennium.  Consecration of the old covenant tabernacle is noted in Exodus 29:1-37, and in the millennial temple (Ezekiel 43:18,27) wherein there are different types of sacrifices.

During the millennial time, there is likely going to be an absence of death, with all animals being safe from predators. (Isaiah 11:6) At that time everyone will know our Creator since the adversary is put away. The only thing that will enter the brain is the holy spirit.  Jeremiah, 31:34, confirms that no one needs to ask their neighbor whether they know Yahweh because everyone alive at that point in time will know him.

Verse 5 of Revelation indicates that the dead will not live again until the completion of the 1000 years.  It is possible that John is speaking in a spiritual manner since the Messiah gave out 144,000 spiritual bodies at the Seventh Trumpet.  Therefore, there will be no more spiritual bodies until after the 1000-year period. Thus, it is likely that everyone who is not a saint will have their physical life extended in the millennium and learn everything there is to know about our Creator. Without the influence of the adversary for 1,000 years, all flesh will have a learning opportunity. However, as you know, knowing the word is less important than overcoming once the adversary is let out.

Thus, the new covenant sacrifices in the millennium, in addition to looking back at the Messiah’s one-time sacrifice, will likely also have other objectives such as covering humans from being destroyed by the glory of our Creator and prevent the defilement of the holy millennial temple.  Millennial sacrifices are likely part of the physical cleansing of the earth and then once everyone is spiritually cleansed, the kingdom will be handed over to the Father.

To learn more, please read all the articles under “News” on this website from the oldest to the newest, and pray to Yahweh the Father in the name of his resurrected son Yahweh Shua for wisdom and guidance. After doing that, you will be prepared for the next step of baptism.  May Yahweh guide you along the way.
