A Pillar of Cloud by Day And A Pillar of Fire By Night

A Pillar of Cloud by Day And A Pillar of Fire By Night

Question: “What did the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night signify? (Exodus 13:21-22)”

Answer: The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night guided the Yisraelites during their exodus from Egyptian bondage. This allowed them to travel by day and by night. Exodus 13:21–22 explains that YAHUAH gave them the pillar of cloud by day to lead them in the way He wanted them to go and the pillar of fire by night to give light. The pillar was not just symbolism but a real phenomenon. We have no way of knowing how YAHUAH made the pillar, but it was obviously a miraculous event that YAHUAH used to lead them for their forty years in the wilderness. During the day the pillar guided their journey. During the night it gave light and, no doubt, comfort.

In addition to guidance for the Hebrews, the pillar was a testimony to other nations concerning YAHUAH’s involvement with and protection of His people Yisrael. In Exodus 14:24 YAHUAH troubled the Egyptians through the cloud, and Mosheh (Moses) used this in Numbers 14:14 in his plea to YAHUAH to not destroy the Hebrews because of their sin. YAHUAH’s provision of the pillar was remembered in the prayer of the Hebrew Yisraelite leaders in Nehemiah 9 as an instance of YAHUAH’s care and provision for His people.

Exodus 13:22 says, “Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people.” The pillar is a picture of YAHUAH’s faithfulness and a lesson to us that YAHUAH never leaves nor forsakes His people. He reminds us of this in Hebrews 13:5–6, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. So that we may boldly say, YAHUAH is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.”

YAHUAH’s Way Versus Man’s Way Trying To Do YAHUAH A Service Without Being The Will of YAHUAH

YAHUAH’s Way Versus Man’s Way 

Trying To Do YAHUAH A Service Without Being The Will of YAHUAH

Can a person be sincere in their service to YAHUAH and be sincerely wrong?

Let’s find out! 

No matter how noble the intention or how something seems so right, we MUST find YAHUAH’s perfect will before we can do Him a service. 

It might be the right thing to do, but it also might be the wrong time. 

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Mark 7:7

In a time of emergency that’s the time to look to YAHUAH. And look to Him, and be on friendship with Him before the emergency arrives. We know this. If we have favor with YAHUAH, we can ask Him anything, like you would any other friend, and He is a very present help in time of trouble.

But YAHUAH does not give us merits on good intentions. There is only one way to serve YAHUAH, that’s by doing His will at His command.

No matter how sincere, and what good motives, and what good objectives, and how people want those things and see the need of it, there is a will of YAHUAH to be carried out in these things.

By going to the priests, by going to the theologians, and by going to the military forces, and not even considering their YAHUAH-sent messenger of the hour, Nathan, they did it wrong.

The Word of YAHUAH is not to be handled by denominations; It’s to be handled by the heart of a man, where YAHUAH can come in there and reveal Himself. And if he reveals it according to the Word, it’s YAHUAH; if it isn’t, it’s not.

There is no great ones among us. There’s only one great One, and that’s YAHUAH.

First, it must be His time to do it.

And it must be according to His Word that has been spoken.

And it must be given according, to the person He has chosen to do it by.

And it must come, first, to His prophets.

And the prophet must be vindicated by the Word of YAHUAH.

I don’t care what your pastor says, don’t care what I say, or anybody else says. If it’s contrary to YAHUAH’s vindicated Word, the hour, the time, the Message, and so forth, forget it.

There is only one Ark to follow, that’s, the Word of YAHUAH. Anything contrary to that Ark, stay away from it! It’s on a new cart, and not on the shoulders of YAHUAH. Right. Stay away from the thing. Don’t have nothing to do with it.

Remember, MASHIACH (MESSIAH) our Ark!

And one day you’ll see that the One that you feel in your heart, and see His identification, will become personalized before you, then you and He are One. You’ve united by the Word.

So say I, in the Name of YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH! Don’t you add one thing. Don’t take, put your own ideas in It. You just say what is said on those pages. You just do exactly what YAHUAH ELOHIYM has commanded to do. Don’t add to It.

Saul had become king primarily because the Yisraelites felt a need for a military commander to lead them in battles (1 Samuel 8:20). At that point, Yisrael was a loose confederation of tribes who looked to Samuel as Judge and worshipped YAHUAH together. Saul united them to some degree and led them in an united army, primarily in defensive battles against their enemies.

However, David has a larger vision for his kingdom. He establishes a new capital city in Jerusalem in neutral territory, designed to unite all the tribes. Under him, the Philistines are not just resisted, but vanquished. But more than just being a successful military leader and diplomat, David loves YAHUAH.

Under Saul, worship of YAHUAH had languished. Saul had disobeyed the YAHUAH’s direction through Samuel (1 Samuel 13:13; 15:11). The ark had been lost a generation before and never returned to its place in the Tabernacle (1 Samuel 4-6). In his paranoia, Saul had slaughtered the priests who tended the tabernacle at Nob (1 Samuel 22:18-19), and no longer was able to seek YAHUAH because Abiathar, the remaining priest, had taken the ephod with him when he had fled to David (1 Samuel 22:20; 23:6). The worship of YAHUAH was so diminished that Saul is reduced to seeking guidance from the witch of Endor, a spiritualist medium (1 Samuel 28).

David longs to renew the nation in the worship of YAHUAH. To do that he wants to bring the long-neglected ark into his new capital city as a sign that YAHUAH, the true King over Yisrael, is once again in the midst of his people. He also wants to unite the people, with Jerusalem as both their political and religious center.

Bringing the Ark from the House of Abinadab (6:1-2)

This is not just an idle whim. David brings together “the whole assembly of YIsrael,” as well as representatives from his army, and seeks to get their “buy-in” to a decision to bring the ark back. The Chronicler records his speech to the assembled multitude:

“If it seems good to you and if it is the will of YAHUAH our ELOHIYM, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers throughout the territories of Yisrael, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us.

Let us bring the ark of our ELOHIYM back to us, for we did not inquire of it during the reign of Saul.” (1 Chronicles 13:2-3)

The assembly agrees. As a wise leader, David elevates the restoration of YAHUAH worship to be a national goal, not just the fulfillment of a king’s pet project.

As you may recall, the Philistines had captured the ark when Samuel was a child. The glory had departed from Yisrael” (1 Samuel 4:21-22). The Philistines had paraded the ark as a trophy of war in Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron, but as long as they kept it, sickness followed (1 Samuel 5). No Philistine city wanted it. Finally, after seven months, they returned it to Yisraelite territory on a new cart pulled by two cows. Initially it was in the priestly city of Beth-Shemesh, but because they were judged for treating the ark carelessly (1 Samuel 6), the ark was finally moved to the city of Kiriath Jearim (also known as Baalah), a town about nine miles west of Jerusalem.

“They took it to Abinadab’s house on the hill and consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of YAHUAH.” (1 Samuel 7:1)

There the ark remained throughout the judgeship of Samuel and the reign of Saul.

Now, bringing back the ark becomes a national event:

“So David assembled all the Yisraelites, from the Shihor River in Egypt to Lebo Hamath, to bring the ark of YAHUAH from Kiriath Jearim. David and all the Yisraelites with him went to Baalah of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of YAHUAH ELOHIYM, who is enthroned between the cherubim — the ark that is called by the Name.” (1 Chronicles 13:5-6)

Transporting the Ark Man’s Way (6:3-10)

Apparently, David didn’t seek YAHUAH — or read the Torah — about how the ark should be transported. Rather, his method of transport seems to be similar to the Philistine approach of putting the ark on a new cart pulled by two cows (1 Samuel 6:7). The celebration of bringing the ark to Jerusalem begins with great joy.

“3 They set the ark YAHUAH on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 

4 with the ark of YAHUAH on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it. 

5 David and the whole house of Yisrael were celebrating with all their might before YAHUAH, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.” (6:3-5)

Then things go terribly wrong.

“6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark YAHUAH, because the oxen stumbled. 

7 YAHUAH’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore YAHUAH struck him down and he died there beside the ark of YAHUAH.” (6:6-7)

This recalls the severe punishment upon the men of Beth Shemesh for looking in the ark (1 Samuel 6:19).

At that time, they had said: “Who can stand in the presence of YAHUAH, this holy ELOHIYM?” (1 Samuel 6:20). The HolyELOHIYM insists that holy things be treated with reverence in the manner he has prescribed!

Notice David’s reaction.

“Then David was angry because YAHUAH’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah. David was afraid of YAHUAH that day and said, ‘How can the ark of YAHUAH ever come to me?'” (6:8-9)

Why is David angry? The text doesn’t tell us, but we can surmise two reasons:

1 Misunderstood. David has done this with the best of intentions. He loves YAHUAH and wants YAHUAH to be honored in Yisrael’s capital of Jerusalem. His motives are right, he feels, so why would YAHUAH bring judgment? He has been misunderstood.

2 Humiliated. David has been publicly humiliated. The national celebration he has planned in front of 30,000 onlookers has ended with disaster, as if YAHUAH doesn’t approve of moving the ark. In people’s eyes, David’s relationship with YAHUAH is being questioned.

David is angry, but he isn’t stupid. He sends everyone home — if they haven’t fled already — and makes arrangements to move the ark to the nearby home of Obed-Edom the Gittite. In this case, the Gath referred to is probably not the nearby Philistine city of Gath, but rather the Levitical city of Gath-Rimmon, a few miles east of Joppa (Joshua 21:24; 1 Chronicles 6:59).

This is likely, because we hear later of an Obed-Edom who is a prominent Levite who had seven sons, “for YAHUAH had blessed Obed-Edom.” (1 Chronicles 26:5), seemingly referring to the next verse in our text:

“The ark of YAHUAH remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, And YAHUAH blessed him and his entire household.” (6:11)

Q1. (2 Samuel 6:1-10) Why does YAHUAH strike Uzzah? Why is David so angry?

Transporting the Ark YAHUAH’s Way (6:11-13)

“Now King David was told, ‘YAHUAH has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of YAHUAH.’” (6:12a)

When David learns that Obed-Edom is being blessed with the “dangerous” ark at his house, David realizes that the ark itself is not the problem. He wants that blessing in the City of David! He begins to research in the Torah about how the ark is supposed to be transported, and discovers:

“No one but the Levites may carry the ark of YAHUAH, because YAHUAH chose them to carry the ark of YAHUAH and to minister before him forever.” (1 Chronicles 15:2)

This is the way the ark was carried across the Jordan River as Joshua led the people into the Promised Land (Joshua 3:3; 6:6). However, since this had been hundreds of years before, people had forgotten.

Nevertheless, instructions for carrying the ark are found several times in the Pentateuch (Numbers 4:4-15, 19-20; 7:9; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9). Specifically, the Kohathite clan of the Levites is charged with carrying the sacred objects from the tabernacle, and it just happens that Obed-Edom is a Levite from the Kohathite town of Gath-Rimmon (Joshua 21:20-24).

David now instructs the Levites:

“It was because you, the Levites, did not bring it up the first time that YAHUAH our ELOHIYM broke out in anger against us. We did not inquire of him about how to do it in the prescribed way.” (1 Chronicles 15:13)

He makes sure that the priests and Levites consecrate themselves according to the Torah before this ceremony (1 Chronicles 15:14). Then David tries a second time:

“12 So David went down and brought up the ark of YAHUAH from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. 

13 When those who were carrying the ark of YAHUAH had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.” (6:12-13)

This time, David makes sure to do YAHUAH’s will in YAHUAH’s way. It’s interesting that they’re rejoicing, after their previous aborted celebration. But David knows what he had done wrong and he has made it right. He and the people come with faith before YAHUAH And YAHUAH honors them in it.

Q2. (2 Samuel 6:11-13) How should the ark have been transported? How are Uzzah and David responsible if they don’t know the provisions of the Mosaic Law? What does David’s mistake in this incident teach us about seeking to do YAHUAH’s will?

David Dances before YAHUAH (6:14)

David leads his people in worship in the procession.

“David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before YAHUAH with all his might, while he and the entire house of Yisrael brought up the ark of YAHUAH with shouts and the sound of trumpets.” (6:14)

David is personally absorbed in joyful worship of his ELOHIYM. This is not some formal exercise, but worship from the heart — and with the arms, legs, and feet. David is dancing, and doesn’t seem to care that it might seem undignified. When David’s wife Michal questions him about behavior below the dignity of a king, he responds:

“I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes….” (6:22)

Often we are inhibited in our worship by what others might think of us. What will people think if I say “Amein” or if I lift my hands in worship? What will people think if I am so entranced with worship that I forget everyone around me and just focus on Him? It is before YAHUAH that we worship!

Protestants don’t understand Anglicans, Lutherans, Catholics, and the Orthodox who worship liturgically — and vice versa! Pentecostals accuse quieter evangelicals of being “G-d’s frozen people,” while the quieter judge the Pentecostals as “holy rollers.” Foolishness! Our worship reflects both our culture and our traditions. YAHUAH had to remind Samuel on one occasion:

“YAHUAH does not look at the things man looks at.

Man looks at the outward appearance,

but YAHUAH looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7)

When we worship, we focus on an “audience of One.” It doesn’t really matter what others think. But it matters greatly what YAHUAH thinks of our worship!

One of the great lessons of the Psalms is the importance of praise. The Psalms were not designed to be read silently, but to be sung out, at the very least, to be read aloud. The Psalms are designed to help us experience praise, to enter into it ourselves.

Q3. (2 Samuel 6:14, 22) How would you describe David’s approach to worship? What does his dancing here teach us? What do we learn about praise from the psalms he wrote? Does what others might think affect your ability to worship? How has YAHUAH been working in your life to teach you to worship him in spirit and in truth?

David Brings the Ark into a Tent (6:17-19)

David can’t very well return the ark to the tabernacle at Shiloh. Shiloh had been destroyed! (Jeremiah 7:12). The tabernacle had been moved to the priestly city of Nob, but the ark had never been there and Saul had slaughtered the town’s priests and their families. The ancient tabernacle is now to be found at “the high place at Gibeon” (1 Chronicles 16:39-40; 21:29; 2 Chronicles 1:3, 13; 1 Kings 3:4), in a Levitical city where personnel continued sacrifices.

David wants the center of YAHUAH worship to be in the capital at Jerusalem, not in some priestly town. So he sets up a tent for the ark in Jerusalem, in hopes of eventually building a proper temple to house it.

“17 They brought the ark of YAHUAH and set it in its place inside the tent (ʾōhel) that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before YAHUAH. 

18 After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of YAHUAH Almighty. 

19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Yisraelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.” (6:17-19)

Worship in the Tent in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 16:4-6)

David is the great architect of worship before YAHUAH in Jerusalem. Compared to the emphasis on sacrifice at the Tabernacle in the Wilderness, worship before the ark in Jerusalem is characterized by praise music, much of it written by David and his musical successors — Asaph and others.

This passage will give you the flavor of this worship that David instituted:

“He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of YAHUAH, to make petition, to give thanks, and to praise YAHUAH, the ELOHIYM of Yisrael…. They were to play the lyres and harps, Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 

6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of YAHUAH.” (1 Chronicles 16:4-6)

However, David didn’t restrict praise-worship only before the ark.

Sacrifices continued at the high place in Gibeon — along with musical praise.

“Heman and Jeduthun were responsible for the sounding of the trumpets and cymbals and for the playing of the other instruments for sacred song. The sons of Jeduthun were stationed at the gate.” (1 Chronicles 16:42)

Michal Despises David (6:20-23)

David is the great Praise Leader of Yisrael. But sadly, that very praise is misunderstood by one of the people closest to him, Michel, David’s wife.

“And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before YAHUAH, she despised him in her heart.” (6:16b)

“Despised” is bāzâ, “to despise, disdain, hold in contempt … to accord little worth to something.”

When David comes home, happy in YAHUAH, ready to share his joy with his family, he is met by a rebuke from his wife.

“When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, ‘How the king of Yisrael has distinguished himself today, uncovering in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!'” (6:20)

Here is David’s response:

“21 David said to Michal, ‘It was before YAHUAH, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over YAHUAH’s people Yisrael — I will celebrate before YAHUAH. 

22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.’

23 And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.” (2 Samuel 6:21-23)

David’s answer indicates that there is no longer any great love between the two. His response involves three elements:

1. YAHUAH’s choice of David over Saul’s dynasty. 

It sounds like Michal resents David. She had loved him once, when he was the young warrior honored by her father the king (1 Samuel 18:20). However, for years she had been the wife of Paltiel, one of Saul’s supporters and a fellow Benjamite. Paltiel obviously loved her deeply, for when she was to be returned to her legitimate husband, David, Paltiel “went with her, weeping behind her all the way to Bahurim” (3:16).

Though she had been David’s first wife, by the time Michal was returned, she seems to have been David’s seventh wife in terms of status — and all the rest bore him children! (3:2-5). Her once high status as a king’s daughter is but a memory — and she resents it! David understands this, and that is why he reminds her that YAHUAH had made him king in the place of her father Saul:

“… YAHUAH … chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the YAHUAH’s people Yisrael.” (6:21)

2. Humility vs. pride. 

David isn’t afraid to humble himself before YAHUAH. He knows YAHUAH’s character:

“You save the humble

but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.” (Psalm 18:27)

Some commentators believe that David’s short ephod exposed his genitals to the eyes of the low-class slave girls when he leaped in dance.

That’s possible, of course, but I think it’s more likely that Michal is objecting to the fact that David takes off his royal robe to wear the simple ephod of a priest, and thus “uncovers” himself as if he were a commoner, rather than wearing the royal robes of a king. The NIV’s translation “vulgar” misleads us, I think. The word rêq doesn’t suggest sexual vulgarity, only the idea of being common (“empty, vain, worthless”), rather than dignified as a king might be expected to be.

Assuming that David is wearing the priestly ephod specified in the Torah, he will also be wearing a linen undergarment prescribed for this very reason — to prevent a priest from exposing himself (Exodus 20:26).

David had spent years in desert camps fleeing Michal’s father Saul. He knows homelessness and hunger. He knows fear and faith. However, all her life, Michal has been pampered as a king’s daughter, and later as the wife of an important person the king chose to favor. She knows only luxury and has developed a sense of class superiority that sometimes accompanies wealth and position.

It is significant that David doesn’t defend himself against a charge of exposing his sexual organs, as some believe happened. Rather, his answer justifies humbling himself before YAHUAH. The word translated “undignified” (NIV), “contemptible” (NRSV), “vile” (KJV) has the idea of being of little account, that is abased, or seen as humble.

3. The priority of worship. 

David defends his act of worship as not for anyone’s benefit but YAHUAH’s. Michal sees only the exterior — because she isn’t a co-worshipper, only an observer. YAHUAH sees David’s heart.

‘It was before YAHUAH….  I will celebrate before YAHUAH.” (6:21)

Q4. (2 Samuel 6:16, 20-23) 

What has happened to Michal that she is so bitter at David?

How does her bitterness cause her to misjudge what she sees?

Are you bitter towards YAHUAH about something in your past?

What effect might it have on your spiritual life? 

How can you find healing from the bitterness? 

What would have happened if David had conformed his worship expression to his wife’s preferences?

The Wilderness Experience – Walking The Torah Life – Set-Apart

The Wilderness Experience – Walking The Torah Life – Set-Apart 

It’s beautiful when we Understand the Word Wilderness from the Hebrew Perspective (True Process) Function over Appearance-

The Word for Wilderness in Hebrew is “midbar” It’s a place existing in perfectly arranged order, an ecosystem in harmony and balance.

By placing the Hebrews in this environment The Creator is teaching the people balance, order and harmony. In tune with nature.

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared of YAH, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. 

CHIZAYON (REVELATION) 12:6

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.  

CHIZAYON (REVELATION) 12:14

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because narrow is the gate, and troublesome is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.

MATTITHYAHU (MATTHEW) 7:13-14

—————————————————————

‘And I said, Speak on, my ELOHIYM. Then said he unto me, The sea is set in a wide place, that it might be deep and great.

‘But put the case the entrance were narrow, and like a river; ‘Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule it? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad?

‘There is also another thing; A city is built, and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things:

‘The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:

And there is but one path between them, even between the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man go there at once.

‘If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?

‘And I said, It is so, ADONAI. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Yisra’el’s portion.

EZRA REVIY’IY (4 EZRA) 7:3-10

THE TABERNACLE OF THE WILDERNESS THE TABERNACLE OF MOSHEH (MOSES)

THE TABERNACLE OF THE WILDERNESS

THE TABERNACLE OF MOSHEH (MOSES)

The tabernacle is a visual dwelling

Tabernacle means “tent,” “place of dwelling” or “sanctuary.” It was a sacred place where YAHUAH chose to meet His people, the Yisraelites, during the 40 years they wandered in the desert under Mosheh’ (Moses’) leadership. It was the place where the leaders and people came together to worship and offer sacrifices.

The tabernacle was first erected in the wilderness exactly one year after the Passover when the Yisraelites were freed from their Egyptian slavery (circa 1450 B.C.). It was a mobile tent with portable furniture that the people traveled with and set up wherever they pitched camp. The tabernacle would be in the center of the camp, and the 12 tribes of Yisrael would set up their tents around it according to tribe. The instruction on how to build the tabernacle was first given to Mosheh (Moses) in the wilderness, who then gave the orders to the Yisraelites.

“…make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.” (Exodus 25:8)

“Then I will dwell among the Yisraelites and be their ELOHIYM. They will know that I am YAHUAH their ELOHIYM, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them.” (Exodus 29:45-46)

And so YAHUAH dwelled among His people in the tabernacle in the wilderness. He appeared as a pillar of cloud over the tabernacle by day and a pillar of fire by night in the sight of all Yisrael. The people would not set out on their journey unless the cloud lifted. It was an unmistakably powerful visual statement indicating YAHUAH’s presence among them.

YAHUAH knew that the Yisraelites needed visual evidence of His presence. When Mosheh (Moses) went up to Mount Sinai for 40 days and the people did not see or hear from him, they grew impatient and gathered their gold to form a golden calf that they worshipped in place of YAHUAH. After ten generations of living in Egypt, it was not surprising that the Yisraelites mimicked the Egyptians in fashioning a visual idol of their own. This act of disobedience demonstrated their need to follow and worship a ELOHIYM who was visually tangible. YAHUAH’s provision of a tabernacle — itself a splendor to behold — not only allowed the people to sense His presence, but also to see their leader go in to meet with YAHUAH in a concrete place and not disappear up a mountain.

The tabernacle of Moses is a lesson of unquestionable authority

The tabernacle was more than just a dwelling place. All the components of the tabernacle were part of an intricate visual aid to illustrate YAHUAH’s relationship with His people. One aspect of this relationship was YAHUAH’s requirement for complete obedience. YAHUAH told Mosheh (Moses) to create the tabernacle exactly the way He commanded. It was not to stray from YAHUAH’s blueprint.

“Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.” (Exodus 25:9)

To this end, YAHUAH gave very specific instructions about the size of each component and the materials the Yisraelites were to use, as we will see in the following sections of this discussion. These seemingly cumbersome rules were not intended to burden the people, but to show YAHUAH’s unquestionable authority and holiness, and emphasize that people could only come to YAHUAH on YAHUAH’s terms, not on their own. They had to obey reverently not only in the construction of the tabernacle, but also in the way they worshipped. Any irreverence or ritual uncleanness could result from an individual being cut off from his people or in death.

For example, the anointing oil for the tabernacle and the incense for the altar of incense (made from YAHUAH’s own prescribed formulas of spices) were both declared Qodesh (Set-Apart) by YAHUAH and could only be used for the purpose of the tabernacle; anyone else using the same formula for their own consumption would be cut off from Yisrael (Exodus 30:34-38). The special garments for the priests were holy; if they did not wear the right clothing in serving YAHUAH, they could die (Exodus 28:2, 43).

The wilderness tabernacle is a projection of YAHUAH’s redemptive plan

In the Renewed Covenant (New Testament), Yahuchanon (John) writes: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” (John 1:14) This word “dwelling” is the same word for “tabernacle” in the Old Testament. In other words, YAHUAH came in living flesh to dwell or to tabernacle among His people. As He walked upon the earth and lived among the Yahudiym (Jews), YAHUSHA HA’MASHIACH  Himself fulfilled the picture of the Old Testament tabernacle. In that and many other ways, as we will see, the tabernacle really was a prophetic projection of YAHUAH’s redemptive plan for His people.

“And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Now the dwelling of YAHUAH is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and YAHUAH himself will be with them and be their ELOHIYM.’ ” (Rev. 21:3)

Aluminum Toxicity: 4 Ways to Detox Your Brain & Body

The Truth About Cancer – thetruthaboutcancer.com 

According to the Alzheimer’s Association of America, “…few experts believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.”

Really?

Not according to Chris Exley, PhD, of Keele University in England who is an expert on aluminum toxicity.

Professor Exley has been studying the impact of aluminum on the human body since 1984 and states that:

There has been a strong link between human exposure to aluminum and the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease for half a century or more.

Dr. Exley is not alone in his thinking. He is part of a growing number of experts making the link between aluminum toxicity and conditions like autism, diabetes, neuropathy, and cancer, as well as Alzheimer’s.

You are an intelligent health consumer (or else you wouldn’t be reading this blog!). As such, it is up to you to be aware of what aluminum does in the body and where it comes from, but more importantly how to minimize your risk of aluminum toxicity.

Here are four easy things you can do NOW to make that happen…

#1. Avoid Products that Contain Aluminum.

The first step in any detoxification program is to always stop more toxins from entering your body. Here are some of the most common sources of aluminum toxicity and some suggestions on alternatives:

Commercial deodorant: Switch to a natural deodorant. Be sure that it clearly says “aluminum free” on the package. This includes so-called “natural crystal” deodorants, which may contain lurking aluminum.

• 

Commercial baking powder: Again, switch to a brand that says “aluminum free.” It will cost a few dollars more, but it will be worth it!

• 

Aluminum foil and aluminum cookware: Replace all aluminum-based and Teflon cookware with glass, iron, or safe ceramic. Lightly roast veggies and fish in a glass container instead of putting them on the grill wrapped in aluminum foil. Store leftovers in glass containers as well. Make the switch to aluminum foil alternatives as soon as possible.

• 

Vaccines: Almost every single vaccine on the market has some amount of aluminum in it, and some more than others. The choice to vaccinate yourself and your family is a personal one. Just be sure you know the facts, however, before you get any shots.

• 

Chemtrails: Chemtrails are “geo-engineered aerosols” that wind up in the air we breathe. They are also a little-known source of aluminum (and other dangerous chemicals), and one that is of growing concern. Know the difference between chemtrails and contrails which come from regular aircraft and how to identify them in the skies above your region. During times of heavy “spraying,” take precautions to wear protection or stay inside. Drink lots of water and be sure to get in some natural heavy metal chelators, such as spirulina (see below). Cover the vegetables in your kitchen garden during heavy sprays.

• 

Taking these actions against aluminum will help reduce your exposure greatly. But, during this modern “Age of Aluminum,” it is safe to say that just about everyone has some amount of aluminum in their system.

Here are three other major actions you can take to detox aluminum from your system directly:

#2. Consume Foods That Contain Silica

Silica is needed for many functions in the body. It can have anti-aging effects as it helps to reinforce collagen elasticity in body tissues, and prevents arterial plaque from clogging up blood flow. Silica is also an important component for building bone, helps process key nutrients like magnesium and vitamin K2, and is vital for maintaining a strong cardiovascular system. Silica is also an antioxidant. As such, it can be a blood detoxifier.

Most importantly, silica has been found to reduce aluminum levels drastically in the body. It does this by binding with its molecules and extracting them out of brain cells and ultimately out of the body through urine and other means.

Ground-breaking research done by Dr. Exley found that water high in silicic acid (oxygenated silica) had a positive effect on autistic children. Exley has found that aluminum levels were lower in the children by 50 to 70 percent who drank this kind of water.

He then did the same study with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients. After 13 weeks of drinking high-silica water, the same results were achieved. In the AD patients, eight out of fifteen no longer showed neurological deterioration and three showed “substantial cognitive increase.”

Dr. Exley used Spritzer (a Malaysian bottled water) for the study, but other waters that contain high amounts of silica include Volvic and Fiji (Fiji comes in a BPA-free bottle). His suggested protocol for helping to remove aluminum from the brain is to consume 1.5 liters of high-silicic water for at least 5 days. He suggests drinking the entire 1.5 liters within an hour for the best results. Higher aluminum toxicity levels may require higher amount of water.

Diatomaceous earth (DE) is another great source of silica since it is made up mostly of the substance. Diatomaceous earth is actually millions of tiny, fossilized aquatic microorganism called “diatoms” that are ground up into a fine, white powder. Besides aluminum detoxification, DE also chelates other heavy metals, helps with GI health, and can give you more energy.

In addition to high-silicic acid waters and DE, cucumbers, bananas, bentonite clay, and horsetail herb also contain high amounts of silica.

#3. Consume Foods That Detoxify the Body From Heavy Metals

Add at least one of the following nutritional substances to your diet every day. All of these not only have the ability to detox the body from heavy metals, but are also neuroprotectants and immune system boosters:

cold pressed unrefined organic coconut oil

chia and flaxseed

milk thistle

vitamin C (and foods rich in this vitamin)

spirulina and chlorella

foods such as garlic, cilantro, and parsley that can help eliminate heavy metals such as aluminum and mercury from your body

fresh, filtered water (and plenty of it!)

• 

#4. Use Other Heavy Metal Detoxification Modalities

Finally, there are a lot of modalities other than foods and supplements that can help you flush out aluminum and other heavy metals. In research studies, high infrared saunas have been shown to not only trim body fat but also detox xenobiotics, i.e. foreign chemicals. These include heavy metals.

In addition, full-mat Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy has also been shown to help with detoxification through boosting natural antioxidants and immune responses in the body. Heliotherapy (salt therapy), mineral baths, and regular exercise also help to flush toxins from the body.

With a little knowledge and the right foods, supplements, and healthy behaviors, you CAN reduce your toxic aluminum load before its proven health effects happen to you. In addition, by keeping your immune system as vital as possible through the right diet and managing stress, you can go a long way in helping your body to detoxify the heavy metals we are exposed to every day, and do so naturally.

The headlines regarding the coronavirus are inescapable at this point, as more and more cases are being reported across the US and across the world.

At this point no one knows for sure how bad this situation really is, as we have seen major issues with the testing, especially here in the US, where more often than not, many people are not even being tested.

In this report, we focus on who is benefiting from this crisis — specifically, who is financially benefiting from this crisis. As any detective or investigative journalist worth their salt will tell you, follow the money.
