MEMORIAL PARSHA OF JESUS CHRIST, Vayahkel-Pekudei at Exodus 35

 WELCOME.  MEMORIAL PARSHA OF JESUS CHRIST Vayak'hel-Pekudei, Exodus 35 through Exodus 40

Sabbath, March 5th, 2011, Parsha Pekudei Exodus 38:1-21 through Exodus 40:28.  

Haftorah 1st kings 7:47-50 

In Parsha Pekudei the place of worship is in the tent, until the children of Israel can return to the place that God promises Abraham, the land of the Canaanites. If you will recall Jacob receives the gospel that first began with Abraham concerning the promise of returning to the land, in which the Canaanites were inhabiting. Now if you will remember the root of the problem is that the Canaanites were not given the land, they were already there inhabiting the land but lost the ability to stay in the land because of their impulsive nature to sin which is an abomination before the eyes of God. Yet till this day have justified why they shall remain in the land of govern by Jehovah and given over to another nation non-stop ten thousand years. (Genesis 28:18; Deuteronomy 16:22). I heard one clergy say that Bells have been used by the pagan (priest) to summons the evil spirits, as in poverty. You don't have to worry about what the word says about bells as long as the commandment is of God. Exodus 39:26 ²⁶A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses. When God gives you a commandment He takes the evil and turns it into Good, God totally transforms your entire mind, body, soul so that you can have the power that is in you. God leaves you totally sufficient with His word and keeps the faith of the Saints while they sleep until the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Jacob prays for himself, which is the House of Jacob and asks God to keep me from evil force to reject Him (Jehovah) bread to Aid against poverty lead me not to rebel whole, with the good and bad still have no diseases all that men away from the house of Jacob, at the might and strength of Jehovah through the divine will of God, and the Judgment of God.


Jacob was in Sukkot and Zaretan which is somewhere near the river of Jabbok in Jordan, and Zaretan is very close to the land of the Phoenicians. Jacob petition to God that he wanted to walk in his way, this is before the Messiah comes onto the scene. He wants to be kept from evil - the kind that forces you reject Him (Jehovah). Jacob wants God to lead him away from rebelling and to be able to take the good and take the bad so that his body may be whole and he can withstand the wiles of the devil. The has bad ideas, bad thoughts, and bad intentions. Nevertheless, the very essence of deliverance the ability to take the good with the bad. Unlike the Devil, the kingdom of God should depend on three things: The torah, Worship, and the loving deeds. Al sh'lo-sha d'va-rim ha-o-lan o-med; Al ha - torah, va'al ha-a-vo-da, v'al g'mi-lut cha-sa-dim.
העולם תלוי בשלושה דברים: על פולחן, תורה, ומעשים לאהוב.

A month later, in chronological order thus occurring after Parsha Pekudei the tribes will be numbered again, and there will be at least 600,000 loosely confederate tribes (see Numbers 11:21;12:37). A total of 22,273 Shekel (Beka's) were transferred to the Treasury i.e., 3000 shekels = 87,000 shekels; and 730 shekels = to a total of 87,730 shekels, to maintain the portable sanctuary of God leading up to the Physical Temple, and now the Spiritual Temple that can never be replaced by the Church (of God). Thus corresponds with the three digits that also appear in the census which is counted as 601,730 (Numbers 26:51). The stones come from the sojourn of the Israelite 413 year journey throughout the land of Egypt. Now it is time for each person to look in their hearts of heart to return away from the Nile, a source that only you provide and God has nothing to do with it, somehow you have developed knowledge to go around God's intentional plan. (Exodus 38:24).

Exodus 39:1 - The Priestly Garmet
 ¹And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exodus 39:2-6 - The Ephod

 ²And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
 ³And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
 ⁴They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
 ⁵And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
 ⁶And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
 ⁷And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
 ⁸And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
 ⁹It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled

Exodus 39:27-30  - Other Priestly Garments

 ²⁷ For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen—the work of a weaver— ²⁸ and the turban of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. ²⁹ The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the LORD commanded Moses.
 ³⁰ They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD. ³¹ Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Then Moses went and inspected the tabernacle, for a God that is invisible to the eye. Upon the Commandment of God the tabernacle, like the early predecessor of the church would be certain to have God's infinite and omnipotent presence. 

Moses gathers all of the people, the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, this is the word of God, that has commanded you to observe the Sabbath regulations. Moses said that the LORD had commanded you to do: 2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. 3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the Sabbath day (Exodus 35:2-3).

I think about the Mosaic Law, and the strict guidelines that need to be followed, and that is a day of rest, and that you do no work on the Sabbath day. In addition, the Sabbath proclaims it is a day to rest – Jesus declares that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Nevertheless, I always read that Jesus did the really important task of the gospel with the power of God, for other people. If you remember he eradicated diseases. Yet, the bible says that we shall not cook on Saturday’s - the bible doesn’t say that we shouldn’t cook throughout and on the Sabbath. I can think of the many times that I cooked with a gas stove throughout the entire Sabbath, from Friday evening to Saturday evening. In short, I have felt bad about my diet because I have used this time to make food with fire that may be off of many people’s diets, as a practiced religion. For instance, a crab-dip, or a crab sandwich is certainly off of my diet on a religious holiday. Moreover, who can say no to a MacDonald’s filet-o-fish sandwich which in some areas has come back onto a promotion that ended on March 7th 2010 and now ends on March 28th, 2010.

More importantly, I think about the diet that may have consisted of pork sausage for breakfast, mean with pork and hotdogs; and even the scavenger’s seafood: crab, shrimp and lobster – that I love so much. Nevertheless, crab-dip with Matzo's is certainly off of my diet, and my Matzos' and the Lord's Supper somehow don't mix. I can't say no to a McDonald’s filet-of-fish sandwich and a side order of French fries. Lastly, I can remember a quick meal of meat franks - chicken, beef and pork, with a cold salad and lentils, i.e. barbecue bake beans with bacon. It is no secret that I love to eat and I have to watch my cholesterol and my weight, but what is easier to cook, other than white meat - a pork chop? As a child, I watched my Mother prepare many Sunday meals that unfortunately the men was vinegar chittlings or pigs feet with string beans and cold potato salad. Like the pork, a meal of barbecue roast chicken, and chicken salad or chicken and dumplings entrée with yams and collard greens were treats in my home for a Sunday dinner. And that’s the difference, my Mother gave reference to Sunday because Jesus rose on third day, after he had been crucified. I always believed everything my Mother did to nurture us was sanctified, as the Apostle Timothy writes, 1 Timothy 4:5 - for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. The desire to eat the foods that are delightful and using a variety of transportation to get food or perform a good deed for another person in the global or local community, may not add up in some peoples judgment.

I argue that just as I enjoy reading all things Michael Jackson, Friday night is Family/Entertainment night, and if maintaining piety and good health with a full stomach violates the Sabbath regulations, then I am happy to be guilty, as they say, “my bag.” Yet a man was stoned to death in ancient times of Israel because he simply gathered sticks on the Sabbath. The Pharisees rejected Jesus’ authority because of his signs, He healed on the Sabbath day, walked in the light, and he was anointed with oil by Mary the sister of Lazarus, whom the Lord Jesus had raised from the dead (John 11:2). Jesus gave Martha a glimpse of heaven, by raising the dead, which is the gospel (John 11:20-27). Jesus responded that whoever believed in Him, shall never die. Martha said that she believed that Jesus is the Son of God. Then Jesus said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard Me, Lazarus come forth.”

To make a long story short, we all know what happened after Lazarus is resurrected from the dead. The priesthood that offers salvation is impeded; however Jesus fixes all of the problems that we will need. There are many people trying to be your eternal priest, but Jesus is the only permanent High Priest. Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. Many Jews believe in Him, However the Jews that did not believe in Him, rejected the counsel of God and were not baptized and ultimately plotted to kill Him, because He worked many signs. Yet Jesus was sentenced to death because everyone would believe in Him and the Romans would come and take away the non-believers place – in the nation – and the nation. There were people who probably immigrated unto the nationality and would ultimately be exposed, but the seed of David prevails and has its rightful place on the physical throne, but Jesus message is heavenly (John 11).

As for the Sabbath regulation, unfortunately in 2010 the true inhabitants and the princes of Israel and the Promised Land which is formerly the land of Canaan have no land or political power (Isaiah 58:13). The gospel may not be on the ground; but restoration of Israel is underway – the Jewish priesthood is the Kingdom of heaven, and it is at hand. If you feed your faith through hope and positive fellowship with an organized religion, then this is very empowering and a motivational: we all aspire to be children of God, and one big family. I love to drop into churches, because I know someone will see me as their family, regardless of the conferences and the conventions. I know I have my ministry to exalt and you have your ministry to exalt. I promise that I will do nothing but exalt the word, as Christ leads me.

In closing Chapter 35 of the book of Exodus, I will say that there is one thing that has stayed on my mind and that is the perfect tabernacle would be something you never had, fellowship in the Third Temple. While no one is perfect, how better could we have the Third Temple. The tabernacle, the mishkan that Moses opened up at every traveling location away from the immediate four camps of the Israelites was an excellent tool to evangelize, so that people could hear and see faith in action, because the connexus is the lifting up a people out of oppression - from the house of Bondage in Egypt.

In this chapter, the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. Then everyone came and donated whose spirit was willing and brought the LORD's offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting: offering of the LORD also for the service of the tabernacle, and the coordinated holy garments (Revelations 11:15-19).

The women and men that were stirred with wisdom and willingness of heart presented offerings to complete the work of the tabernacle, and time and talent the skill of a workers craftsment to design all the items in the tabernacle, including the utensils were especially designed - for the tabernacle of meeting (Matthew 26:1-16). Lastly, the children of Israel had also brought a free will offering to the LORD, for the material used in the work of the tabernacle and the holy garments; in our next memorial portion you will learn about the free will offering to make atonement for your sins.

Offerings for the tabernacle: The materials for the work of the tabernacle are brought to the skilled artistan and craftsman. The materials needed for the tabernacle of meeting are not in anyway used for idolatry; and the wisdom of God is implanted ini the workers to create a tabernacle of meeting.

Articles of the tabernacle: Sometimes I feel like I was compelled to give more than I had to give, above and beyond a freewill offering, a love offering and ten percent of net income for tithes, to the church of Esau, the gentile church. Yet, I always believed that and I still do believe that when you get Christianity right it makes since to build a place for organized religion to fellowship with visitors and get to know God's future children, as we are all aspiring to be adopted in the spirit and sons and daughters of the resurrection in Christ. I never let it bother me that I ran into the wrong church, or Pastors claim to have the annointing and asked you to come to it at the altar. The annointing, as you will see is a private interpretation and no one can escort you to it, just like Jesus - the annointing will find you. I believe the money that I gave to the gentile church had nothing to do with the spirit of Wisdom, which is a gift of God. Many times, I would empty my bank account to negative three hundred dollars. The ledger of my bank account would be in the extreme negative (-$300.00) for a while because I did not have enough faith to build a place for the gentiles to worship. All along, the commandment to build a House for God is given to my ancestoras a permanent statute, as the LORD commanded (Exodus 27:9-19; Exodus 31:10; Exodus 27:20-21)

Disciples Reference for Exodus 35: Sabbath Regulation @ Exodus 35:1-3:

Romans 4:14-20 - ¹⁴For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
 ¹⁵Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
 ¹⁶Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
 ¹⁷(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
 ¹⁸Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
 ¹⁹And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
 ²⁰He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; (Romans 4:14-20, King James Version)
Psalm 84:11 -¹¹For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11, King James Version)
John 3:10-17 - ¹⁰Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
 ¹¹For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
 ¹²So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
 ¹³Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
 ¹⁴If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
 ¹⁵For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
 ¹⁶Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.

 ¹⁹Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
 ²⁰For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
 ²¹For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
 ²²For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

2nd Samuel 24:18-25 - ¹⁸And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
 ¹⁹And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
 ²⁰And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
 ²¹And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
 ²²And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
 ²³All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
 ²⁴And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
 ²⁵And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel. (2 Samuel 24:18-25, King James Version)
1 Kings 7:12-51 - ¹²And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
 ¹³And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
 ¹⁴He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
 ¹⁵For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
 ¹⁶And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
 ¹⁷And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
 ¹⁸And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
 ¹⁹And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
 ²⁰And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
 ²¹And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
 ²²And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
 ²³And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
 ²⁴And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
 ²⁵It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
 ²⁶And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
 ²⁷And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
 ²⁸And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
 ²⁹And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
 ³⁰And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
 ³¹And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
 ³²And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
 ³³And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
 ³⁴And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
 ³⁵And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
 ³⁶For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
 ³⁷After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
 ³⁸Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
 ³⁹And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.
 ⁴⁰And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
 ⁴¹The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; (1 Kings 7:12-51, King James Version)
1st Samuel 2:27-36 - ²⁷And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
 ²⁸And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
 ²⁹Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
 ³⁰Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
 ³¹Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
 ³²And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
 ³³And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
 ³⁴And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
 ³⁵And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
 ³⁶And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread. (1 Samuel 2:27-36, King James Version)
