Schechinah Glory Series: Disciples of Jesus Christ Parsha - Bechukotai Lev. 26-27

-->
Dear Friends,

In closing, the Memorial Portion for the Sabbath, May 21st, 2011 teaches me that Faith is in God. God is not a religion. Faith is as unique as your own DNA.

Today, the Holy Spirit has taught me to receive the gift of faith. I am justified by our faith, for the immediate and the future. (Romans 4:23-25; James 5:17-18; and Romans 5:1.

This Parsha is not for the irrational. Only holiness to Jehovah, will please Him. This is a great lesson about faith. You need no one to validate what God gives you and what you make of yourself is your gift to God. Tithes have always been mandated, but be mindful to have faith that you can give tithes.

On the contrary, you sit right there and no sooner than I can get the blessing out of my mouth, you go all Judas Iscariot on me.

Star verses: 
Leviticus 26:3 - 3If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
Romans 9:27 - 27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

Matthew 28:1-10
 1Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
 2Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
 3If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
 4Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
 5And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
 6And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
 7And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
 8And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
 9For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
 10And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
 11And I set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
 12And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
 13I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
 14But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
 15And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
 16I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
 17And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
 18And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
 19And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
 20And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
 21And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
 22I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
 23And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
 24Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
 25And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
 26And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
 27And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
 28Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
 29And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
 30And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. (Leviticus 26, King James Version)

 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
 3And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
 4And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
 5And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
 6And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
 7And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
 8But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
 9And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
 10He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
 11And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
 12And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
 13But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
 14And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
 15And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
 16And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
 17If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
 18But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
 19And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
 20And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
 21But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
 22And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
 23Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
 24In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
 25And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
 26Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.
 27And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
 28Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
 29None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
 30And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD. (Leviticus 27, King James Version)

God gives you a 100% guarantee



Commentary:

Nothing is more important that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the wisdom of receive, discern and have knowledge without any hesitance that you have the hope that is Special Faith - you still have joy in all of your trials and tribulations. Can I imagine being tied to a group of people that I identify with and claiming to have a special religion, only one that promises peace in the near future and the distance too. Religion or not, the Holy Spirit promises special gifts of God. Thinking back at my search for my heritage, I wondered what my ancestors Cherokee thought and the hopes that they had for theirselves and their children. I think expecting peace and love was on their mind because there is nothing more that I feel right now. Remember: God will wipe away every tear, He is Holy. In chapter 26 of the book of Leviticus, God gives rain, safety, peace, victory over your enemies, lordship over wild beast, favor, The Abrahamic Covenant, food, and His dwelling place to name a few. Read the New Covenant, God through His Son Jesus Christ gives you Love, Grace, Joy, abundance in Peace and Prosperity (Health and Fiances et al) and Justification etc.

In the opening Chapter god cautions you to use your free will to worship God. Magnifying Gods name means that you will shall not make idols (idolatry) Isaiah 19:1. I don't think about the connection that I have with anyone, however, I do think about having special faith, only an increase the Holy Ghost can give me, no more than I understand or can intelligently comprehend what to do with this special faith. I am justified in my faith by believing on my High Priest the Lord Jesus.

Be sure to use your free will to worship God. Don't try to get into anybody else's family or network of friends - if it's too much for you then don't practice idolatry. Yet there are many major religions that bow down before graven images, standing images and set-up stones of image -throughout your land. God is the God of the entire Universe, My God is Host of your gods. God, Jehovah, Father God - he alone is worthy of your praise, worship, service, submission, and your glory-most importantly He alone is worthy of your bow. Nothing else matters (Exodus 20:4; Deut. 5:8; Psalm 97:7).

Now when you walk in these statutes (Lev. 26:3), keeping the Sabbath and revere is sanctuary, His commandments, and do them then God will bless you for your obedience in the word. This passage lets me know that I can anticipate a blessing that has already been affirmed once I realize that the prophecy has been fulfilled then you know that there is a blessing. A prophecy is a foretold blessing. If there is a religion or a desire to associate with individuals who utter the prophetic word of God then I am guilty.

God will bless you in your obedience, to the word. God loves you, always. When you Glorify the name of God he tells you early that there is a place of his choosing, the Temple and Jerusalem. With so much rime and corruption against from the people occupying the physical churches that we do not have to walk in the statutes of God by teaching of the Holy Spirit - the Sanctuary is your body - the Body of Christ. Then the choosing of a place to Glorify His Name is the New Jerusalem - in Heaven. (Leviticus 19:30; Romans 5:1-2; Deut. 11:13; Revelations 21:2; 2nd Samuel 24:18-25; 1st Chronicles 21:18; 2nd Chronicles 3:1; and Ezekiel 45-16 through Ezekiel 46:18).

Lastly, the reason you should not be afraid of being alone, or even afflicted is because of God's great love for you and your ability to express the receiving of this blessing by making Disciple (Matthew 28:18-2)/ You will be in heaven and reconciled to the One True God, this is what the Apostle Paul teaches, this is true of the afterlife for you who truly love God, nothing will ever separate you from God (Romans 11:15 and Romans 5:10-11).

Romans 11:15. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Finally scriptures says, in Romans 15:5-6, "5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, authorizing the president to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. During the fall and winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the United States government. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as the "Trail of Tears."

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.

Maslows' Hierarchy:
Abraham Maslow
Truth, rather than dishonesty.
Goodness, rather than evil.
Beauty, not ugliness or vulgarity.
Unity, wholeness, and transcendence of opposites, not arbitrariness or forced choices.
Aliveness, not deadness or the mechanization of life.
Uniqueness, not bland uniformity.
Perfection and necessity, not sloppiness, inconsistency, or accident.
Completion, rather than incompleteness.
Justice and order, not injustice and lawlessness.
Simplicity, not unnecessary complexity.
Richness, not environmental impoverishment.
Effortlessness, not strain.
Playfulness, not grim, humorless, drudgery.
Self-sufficiency, not dependency.
Meaningfulness, rather than senselessness.

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: Encircled in Gold
39:6 Lazuli stonres with gold frames
39:8 Ephod: made of gold, blue, purple, crimson yarn
39:10 Carneliem, chrysolite, emrald
39:11 turquiose, spahire and amethyst
39:12 Jacinth, gate, crystal
39:13 beryl, lapis lazuli, jasper (see Exodus 28)

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 4:14-2014For 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)

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.

 17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
 18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
 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:
 23That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. (John 5:16-23, King James Version)

 4How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

 4And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

 12How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
 13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
 14Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. (Matthew 12:9-14, King James Version)

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 7:12-5112And 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 2:27-3627And 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)
1st Samuel 4:17-18 -17And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
 18And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years. (1 Samuel 4:17-18, King James Version)

 8Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
 9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

John 12:42-5042Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
 43For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
 44Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
 45And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
 46I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
 47And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
 48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
 49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
 50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. (John 12:42-50, King James Version)

 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
 10He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
 11He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
 12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
 13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:6-13, King James Version)
Titus 3:1-81Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
 2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
 3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
 4But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
 6Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
 7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
 8This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. (Titus 3:1-8, King James Version)
Luke 8:16-18 - 16No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

 1And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

 30For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

 34The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
 35Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

 1Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
 2There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
 3Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
 4Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
 5Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
 6This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
 7Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
 8For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always. (John 12:1-8, King James Version)
 3Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
 4And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
 5But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
 6Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
 7There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
 8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
 9For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
 10When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
 11For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
 12For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
 13Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
 14Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
 15And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
 16And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. (Matthew 26:3-16, King James Version)
Exodus 31 and verses 1-3,
 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 2See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
 3And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, (Exodus 31:1-3, King James Version)
 4Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
 5Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
 6And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
 7Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
 8In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
 9Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots. (2 Chronicles 21:4-9, King James Version)
 16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. (1 Timothy 3:16, King James Version)
 11Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
 12Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
 13But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
 14For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
 15Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
 16And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
 17Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
 18The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
 19All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
 20But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
 21Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
 22And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
 23Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel. (Exodus 34:11-23, King James Version)
 4And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. (Isaiah 61:4, King James Version)
 10And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
 11And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
 12And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. (Isaiah 58:10-12, King James Version)
2nd Chronicles 4:1-21 - 1Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
 2Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
 3And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
 4It 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.
 5And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
 6He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
 7And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
 8He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
 9Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
 10And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
 11And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
 12To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
 13And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
 14He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
 15One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
 16The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
 17In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
 18Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
 19And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
 20Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
 21And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; (2 Chronicles 4:1-21, King James Version)
1st Kings 7:20-2620And 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. (1 Kings 7:20-26, King James Version)
1st Kings 12:25-33 - 25Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
 26And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
 27If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
 28Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
 29And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
 30And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
 31And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
 32And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
 33So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. (1 Kings 12:25-33, King James Version)
