I give thanks to Yehovah – the one who gives me success, because by means of his son Joshua from Nazareth he has brought me close to him and he has drawn close to me so that I might through Joshua from Nazareth produce much fruit.
Yehovah has answered my prayers concerning proclaiming the good news of the Imperial administration and is now playing to me what the good news is.
The good news, the excellent news is that the Imperial administration of Elohim has drawn close to his people, the children of Israel and to all who would associate with him and with them! Because he has drawn close we can approach him closely to receive from him benediction and correction, insight and guidance, decontamination and stewardship.
The good news about the Imperial administration of Elohim is bound up in the verb lqrb. This is a concrete concept in Hebrew which is fully explained in vyiqra – the middle book of the five books of Moses called the Torah. Why is this book in the middle so significant?
This book explains how an uncontaminated entity full of love, opportunity, joy and exciting prospects can approach or draw near to, or come close by or stand next to, or be in the midst of a contaminated mess that stinks and putrefies and self-destructs!
This uncontaminated entity, the universe that created us, the unique and the universal one that took pleasure in bringing into existence or things with the special purpose of multiplying himself exactly and fruitfully like a never ending and repeating fractal pattern. This entity is unique and in and of itself brought forth the wisdom and the understanding, the economic judgement and the self-discipline and the instructions of how to perform this mighty miracle reproducing himself forever.
Therefore by that wisdom all things were created by his command, and his sayings will be eagerly realised by wind functionaries eager to perform his instructions, to carry out his plan and to fulfil his purpose.
And finally, as the combination of six exciting and joyous days of expressive and appreciative, beautiful and creative artistry he and his wind functionaries convened to make the ultimate representation of all of them, the ultimate representation of Elohim. However this was to be in a clay plaster casts form produced by the master potter.
So this master potter took a lump of soil that was malleable, formed from the dust as all potters know how to turn clay particles into a lump of clay. And this lump was moulded into a shadow cast mould of Elohim and poured into an exact plaster cast mould of itself.
All the wind functionaries who performed willingly the instructions and the commands in the plans of Elohim found a representation within this formed lump. For the wind functionaries are distinguished by their functions and not by their form, by their consciousness and not by how they appear
and all together they form a single unity that looks like Elohim.
Having made this unity Yehovah split it into two functioning parts of the unity. This plan was laid out in all of his or its creative works, especially in the works performed in the garden, in the plants that produced seed and in the flowering trees and plants that produce fruit with seed in it. The two parts being the part that carries the ignition key that starts everything, and the part that carries the biological womb or matrix that creates everything once started. Both parts are necessary to produce the full reproductive entity that is Yehovah like.
To this working model was given the ability to reproduce like Elohim, but in fact this ability to reproduce was given to the fish of the sea and the birds and wind creatures of the air and to the reproducing things that wriggled about in the soil as well as to the herding animals and the breathing and digesting entities that moved about on the Earth! These creatures are respected and honoured and had goodwill expressed to them personally by Yehovah, an act that his wind functionaries never received or expected to receive. As his servants their role was to fully comply with his will and receive the rewards for doing so.
And so these human beings were given representative abilities and powers to be like Yehovah and to manage and command others just like Elohim and to provide for them and feed them from their own hands and from what they produce by their own industry!
This was the purpose that was explained to the first mating pair that he made; Adam and Eve and behold it was exceedingly exciting, purposeful, adventurous and engaging.
However there was one requirement that had to be fulfilled and that had to do with their will.
A test was placed before them to see where their will, given to them freely and graciously by Yehovah would take them. Would they choose in association with Yehovah, being near to, and being able to approach, and being related to this entity; would they choose to be just like him?
They were given will and discretion and ability to work discreetly and covertly with all of the creations of Elohim and they were not afraid. Nothing phased them or made their faces go white with terror, or embarrassment or guilt or uncertainty. Instead in association with Yehovah in their garden they carried out their duties skilfully, joyfully and with great fellowship and fellow feeling.
So the tester, the prosecutor, the one assigned to check out what their will was came to them with the same amount of wisdom and discretion that they had and spoke to them concerning the provisions that Yehovah had made and also the policies and procedures that he had spoken to them about.
He zeroed in on the she-mate, and this is because the he-mate was being protected by the she-mate as a front to him and so he could not go directly for the he-mate. However he focused in on one of the functions of the
she-mate which is to help provide sustenance for the he-mate, especially when he comes in from working in the garden or comes home from doing his duties outside.
He asked her simply, and with guile, whether she could eat of everything in the garden. And she explained that they could except for one tree. And she also explained that tree if they touched it it would be the death of them; it would be them being dissolved back into a watery mess in the ground!
She passed the test except there was one trick up the prosecutors sleeve. That trick was to lie!
Strictly speaking he negated the direct and truthful instruction of Yehovah. This is something that Yehovah cannot do, because he is unique and universal it is impossible for him to lie! Only those who are limited can live or come up with the negation of their actual experience.
Strangely this was appealing to the woman, having the fear of dissolving out of existence removed as a certainty devoted her senses in the eyes and in taste to exploring the fruit of the tree of death. This disguises the tree of the fruit of good things and bad things! The worst thing that this tree can give you as a fruit is death, and every fruit from this tree deceives you and camouflages its poisonous and deadly outcome.
Although this was a lie, it revealed that the will of a human being is not steadfast or rock like like the will of Yehovah. In that instance it was time for Plan B.
Plan B is the need for the perfect human being to show the way to all the defective ones. The perfect human being would be wise, discreet and cunning, knowledgeable and fearing everything that Yehovah can and could do and remaining loyal and faithful and grounded solidly in the mind, the will and the purpose in the policies of Yehovah. Above all they would not lie, they would not negate the true things that Yehovah talked and transmitted to all his servants and all his people.
Plan B involved separating from himself all those who were contaminated, and drawing close to himself all those who chose to be decontaminated and to remain uncontaminated. As Yehovah developed the family of the human beings he found that they grew worse and worse and he regretted ever having made human beings because they made everything that was light and beautiful dark and ugly.
However, due to his grace and kindness he continued with Plan B but he did clean up the scene a lot! He wiped away the disgusting people and disgusting things that they had done and he resurfaced the Earth with water and with clean soil, and then he started again with eight people; the sons of Noah and their wives with Noah and his wife.
Also at this time he made the provision that he would slow things down and only give a man a lifespan of around 120 or so years, that is 120 years of striving with his wind energy in order to establish whether that particular human being passed the test and chose at every and in every situation to perform the will of Yehovah as his own. This was comforting to him who was discomfited by all the pain and horror that men brought upon themselves by disobeying him, because he knew and made sure that it would happen, that there would be the perfect man who would perfectly obey every commandment and every desire that was in his heart.
In fact he found a man called Enoch who delighted him so greatly that he took him. It was too soon for this man to be the salvation of humanity. However the Nishmat Chaim of this man was probably the one that was used to infuse into Mariam’s womb, and in the ovum in that womb, the very character and characteristics that he wanted in the perfect man. That perfect man was given the name Yeshuat, Yehovah or Yhshua.
When the son of man makes references to his existence before the world began and being before Abraham he is most likely referring to this human being, much favoured and much loved by Yehovah; his previous name was Enoch.
So we see the basic nature of a life, and that is a good life exist with those who draw near to Yehovah, well those of a life that is bad mixed with good and ends in death of those who are sent away from the presence of Yehovah and walk like Kane in the land of Nod.
In vyiqra the “secret,“ the practices and behaviours and attitudes needed to draw close to Yehovah are fully declared and explained. With one secret within them which is the secret of the necessary sacrifice of the teacher Yhshua.
Throughout the history of the kingdom of Israel and Judah we see the effect of drawing near to Yehovah and of drawing away from Yehovah. True to his word in the Torah he explained that if we draw near to him he will draw near to us and if we turn away from him he will turn away from us.
The good news is that we do not control his behaviour. And out of his grace he has elected to draw near to us! At this time because now his son Yhshua was effectively interposed into the history and the reality of the Jewish people and the Israelite nation he with great joy declared that he was drawing near to us and has drawn near to us and is next to us! This is very good news, excellent news.
We still have to respond to this gracious act by returning to him, and there is only one way to return to him and that is by means of his son Yhshua. This offer is always open at any time 24/7 and has been for the past 2000 odd years, and it will continue to be open until the time when all things are finalised. The good news is Yehovah is no longer going to hide his face away from us, to draw away from us, instead he is always going to be near us or next to us ready to receive us when we turn back to him and bring our audience offerings draw close to him.
How do we do this?
We listen to the instructions of his son Yhshua and decontaminate ourselves as he instructs in the book of vyiqra and we go about the work of proclaiming the good news, that the Imperial administration has drawn near to us, is near to us will be near to us and all we have to do is draw near to it to receive incredible human potential.
The good news then is that the Imperial administration of Elohim has drawn near to us and that is confirmed by the Prince of this Imperial administration, that is the son of Elohim who was confirmed and identified as trustworthy by being resurrected from the dead after performing many many miracles and teaching many many firm and motherly supportive teachings which have, and continue to improve the lives of those who accept them.
And he will continue to do so from the throne of his father until he has given the throne of his fourth father David, as one of his many thrones that he will administer and rule over with a rod of iron. Make no mistake, this period of grace is hedged about the thicket of thorns and a period of pains to all those who are uncertain in their ways and their conviction.
We are qorban – that is a gift specially reserved for coming into the presence of our great king and creator at the gate of his tabernacle. It is reasonable for us to present ourselves in this way as our Lord Yhshua did exactly the same for all who want to draw near to our father as we do.
Gather round new pigs, use wine in return to Elohim as the Imperial administration of Elohim is passing by!
This was the cry, the announcement of Yhshua from Nazareth as he went about proclaiming the good news of the Imperial administration, gathering together all those who had made up their minds to return to Yehovah because of the teachings and proclamations of Yochanan the dipper! And indeed all who would desire to return to Elohim, to become clean, to reconnect and to apply to be in the Imperial administration of Elohim.
Qrb – the verb is a concrete action of bringing after harvesting the qreb of an animal sacrifice or hunt. The basic meaning from the pictographs is the human that drills through the house or the intelligent entity that drills through the tent. This is a very good basic description of the entrails of living things, the throat and stomach, intestines, bowels, the blood, the kidneys and even the heart.
When an animal is killed the intestines have to be quickly removed and most handlers can do this efficiently and within minutes. They can then take the remaining carcass and wash it, strip it of it’s outer layer of skin and begin to either roast or section into cuts from the flesh.
But what is to be done with the entrails? The blood is always poured out into the ground by the instruction of Yehovah or pulled out around the altar but the entrails contain bits which are covered in fat which in fact also must not be eaten.
According to the instructions of Yehovah these pieces are to be made to smoke on the altar to produce a pleasant smell. Which pieces exactly the priest would identify when you bring the entrails to him. The rest of it may either be discarded or some parts of it can be processed.
The purpose of bringing it to the priest, or rather bringing it to Yehovah is to either ask benediction or to express gratitude or to confirm the relationship that you have with Yehovah, relationship of love and stewardship and thankgiving. Relationship in which you acknowledge that your source of supply of everything that you require to live is Yehovah.
So immediately these entrails are excavated from the body and the thought is to approach or bring them to the priest or to Yehovah in order to ask a favour or to establish a firm relationship with him.
This word therefore directly refers to the innards or intestines or bowels of an animal or human being including the womb, but as an action refers to bringing this evisceration to Yehovah for goodwill.
Therefore when this verb is used it does not simply mean to get nearby or to come next to. It has all this rich association of reliance and relationship with Elohim. When Yehovah says that if you do not express this relationship with him he will not express that relationship with you which it makes it futile to bring a sacrifice or any entrails to any other entity. Yehovah will not express goodwill to you, he will not be in the place where you are making the sacrifice, and consequently you will receive nothing good from doing it.
If however you genuinely present these things to Yehovah he will be there to receive them and will show satisfaction in them. If you look at the case of Cain and Abel you come to understand that this lesson was taught right from the very beginning to the first recorded children of Adam!
So what is the good news? The good news is that Yehovah will always be present for you to offer this, offering all this sacrifice to him, his Imperial administration will no longer back away from you, indeed it is passing through you, all nations calling you to come and make your supplications and applications freely.
What this means is anyone who really desires it can now come to the Imperial administration and ask for favour and it will be considered and given to him if he asks in the way taught by Yhshua from Nazareth.
In this messy and confused unreliable world anyone of us simply by turning to Yehovah in the way taught to us by Yhshua from Nazareth will be accepted and will be able to make application to enter or join the Imperial administration of Elohim.
Now some say that Yhshua died so that we can have this privilege. But in fact that is inaccurate. When Yehovah presented his son before the Jewish nation he also presented all these expressions of goodwill including the forgiveness of our chopping and changing of his instructions, our cutting out and selecting what he has instructed us to do and our twisting away from the path he wants us to walk in.
The reason why he died or as he put it lay down his life was to show once and for all that he was conqueror of all including death. By means of the great power of his father Yehovah, by his grace this whole gift was planned, purpose and executed; he was raised up from the dead showing that not even death could stop him from performing his father’s will and that indeed it was for all humans to conquer of all things that we fear and completely get depressed and our entrails get all twisted up inside about.
So you miss this when you have these simplistic interpretations or translations which leave you more confused than understanding. We are all “dirty rags”, we are all swines and pigs, but we can return to Elohim and be converted into his sheep and put under his Shepherd and walk in obedience to the father just as heeded by means of the decontaminating wind and the exact and exacting leadership of Yhshua.
And so he was calling together all the pigs or swines who were returning to Elohim by the proclamations and teachings of Yochanan the dipper and gathering them around him and proclaiming to them that the Imperial administration was passing through their region, in the town, the city, even by their house. So they should gather and meet it and make this application and applications to it while they have the chance.
In his day it was a great privilege to receive this invitation directly from the mouth of the Prince of peace, the son of Yehovah, who confirmed the veracity of his words by many miracles, and was established as a faithful witness by Elohim through a resurrection after three days according to the prophets. However it was also hard to understand how this all could be.
Those that lived and walked and talked with him saw that this was a valiant, strong but humble man dedicated to the work that his father had given him, and enduring all manner of sufferings in order to get this good news out to as many as he could before he was unlawfully taken and wickedly beaten and cruelly crucified. In that moment every sacrifice ever offered paled into insignificance in the hearts and in the chest cavities of his followers! Their hope seem to be turned into profound hopelessness, the vision into darkness, the clamouring tongues into dry sticks in their mouths and they were gripped by fear and consternation.
So what a great relief to see him again after three days in power in a body like his human form but obviously transformed. And what a joy to see him float up into the atmosphere and disappear into the throne of his father Yehovah. When they returned to Jerusalem it was with full vigour that they practised and taught the way that he taught them to be good Jews and servants of himself and his father.
And in nothing that he taught or said or did was there any contradiction with the teachings of his father. Instead, like Moses he set about correcting all the faults, the false swords and the failures of those who currently guided the people. In one fell swoop he and Yochanan replace the authority of the Scribes, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes, the Herodians, the Romans etc, indeed any earthly power and established a growing gathering of people whos face and chest cavity was set towards the Imperial administration of Elohim.
Suddenly he will come and restore everything so keep alert and keep awake and watch with him, not falling asleep, watching and praying that you, your family, your friends and indeed your city and your nation might not fall into temptation, but it cannot endure, into testing over and above the endurance of human beings. All these things are coming and how anxious he is that they were already come and the fire was already burning and all these things could be past, destroyed and removed from Elohim’s good creation and purpose.
So enjoy the good news, and make use of this open invitation to return to Elohim and receive all the blessings and good things that he has in store for you.
Oh, yes it won’t be all sunshine with no rain but we will only be discomfited for a little while, and that not beyond what we can endure. And after that endless, boundless limitless joy and opportunity and adventure.
