The major prototypes, shadows, examples, and patterns of our walk while traveling here on this earth was illustrated in the Tabernacle, depicted in the life of YAHSHUA the MESSIAH and preserved as a highway for us to travel. It is this precedent that YHVH inaugurated ‘in Flesh’ as a foundation that we would use to connect the Old Testament (OT) models to the Mysteries now being revealed or ‘uncovered’ in the New Testament (NT). E.E. Cleveland says, the OT is the NT concealed and the NT is the OT revealed”. This extraordinary Truth can, will and have made the Way plain for those who take this saying to heart. One cannot understand the New without knowing the Old. It is like attempting to learn algebra without having accomplished the basics of addition subtraction, multiplication, and division!
NOW, is the time to muster yourselves Daughter of Troops! You Bethlehem Ephrath, among the clans of Judah, you will go forth for Me to be ruler when She who is in labor has born a child.
Bethlehem is the House of Meat; it is the House of Bread. It is where David was born and crowned King of Israel. Bethlehem represents an abiding place of substance. YAHSHUA was born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem is the nerve center of the body through which Universal Substance of the Energy of GOD joins to produce the spiritual energy that gives birth to the Christ Man. Bethlehem is the substance center, the physical cavity, the heart and mind of man where Divine Union with YHVH-GOD takes place in love and wisdom.
Eupratha was the original name of Bethlehem and depicts fertility; productiveness; fruitfulness and abundance of one who has been liberated. It represents the inner freeing, healing thought of the Christ that releases a consciousness, which frees the mind and body to be receptive to Truth and to receiving ones inheritance. The very realization of the abundance that increases the substance of Divine Ideas and Divine Revelation that brings about a corresponding growth and fruitfulness.
Judah symbolizes the aggregation of thoughts that has acknowledged spiritual things becoming the only reality, that is to say, that the Christ Man is born in us spiritually. “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from the Feet, until Shiloh come and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.”
The scepter of the Priesthood and of the Kingdom was given to Judah. It is through the Tribe of Judah that the rule of the Kingdom has been established. YAHSHUA was descendant from the Tribe of Judah, yet the priesthood of old came through Levi. However, restoration of the New priesthood is not based on genealogy, but it is based on Covenant. Originally, it was through Abraham that GOD set the foundations to preserve a seed. YHVH has a “Fixed Order.” This Fixed Order has been established and it will either be GOD’s Way or no way at all.
The people often engraved their laws on stone or metal and displayed them in public places. The root of these laws was not necessarily limited to that put on display. The displayed laws most often were extended to include natural, civil and priestly laws. This law, the people received through the Levitical Priesthood; however, the commandments, decrees and functions of the Levitical Priesthood were not perfect. “When He said, A New Covenant, He made the first obsolete.” The New Covenant was not a means of justification for holding onto the old ungodly ways, otherwise there would not have been a need for a New priesthood after the order of Melchezedek.
Since GOD has a fixed order, (i.e. an ordained decree for the priesthood to be established in the kingship of Judah), these are the precepts and rules which His people must strictly obey.
“We, then, will have confidence to enter into the holy place by the blood of JYAHSHUA. By a New and Living Way which He inaugurated for us through His flesh…We do not waiver in faith but draw nearer.” We then can let go of the old man, the old rules and the old regulations of the outer tabernacle. We become established and conceived into the New Priesthood. “GOD desiring to show His heirs the unchangeableness of His purpose with and oath,” established a New and Perfect Way. These unchangeable things He has given so that our hope will be both sure and steadfast in that first of all, it is impossible for YHVH-GOD to lie; and, secondly, YAHSHUA is our HIGH PRIEST and Joint Heir to the Kingdom.
“Behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah not like the covenant I made with the fathers, which they broke, although I was a husband to them. I will put My Law within them and on their heart. I will write it; and I will be their GOD, and they shall be my people. I will give them one heart and one way that they may fear me always. I will make an everlasting covenant. If this fixed order departs from before me,’ declares the LORD, ‘then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation from before me forever.’”
Not only must GOD’s people take their rightful place and be restored that they may put on this New Tabernacle, they must adhere to and follow GOD’s Protocol and Order. “He must reign, till He puts all enemies under His feet. Then comes the end when He shall deliver up the Kingdom of GOD.”
As long as the children of GOD keep hold of the old man, old wineskin or the outer tabernacle, they cannot enter into the New. It is only when the Kingdom of GOD or ZION has been built up in GOD’s Order and to His specifications that SHILOH will come and Tabernacle within His people in all of His glory. The LORD will appear in all of His glory after the redemption and restoration of His purchased possession. This redemption and restoration will come through the apostles and the prophets whom GOD has Chosen to take His people into the “Promised Land” and a full inheritance.
The time of humiliation is drawing to a close. “In that day, the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors.” It is time for ZION to be glorified. It is time to take honor in Her Stones.
So, “Arise, shine; for your light has come. And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. Behold darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Therefore, Sons of GOD, “Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be nurtured by your side. Then you will see and flow together. your heart will thrill and rejoice because the abundance of the sea (people) turns to you” -- The Foundation Stones of Zion.
