Sabbath, 3rdD,3rdM (Exo 19)
7th Sabbath of FOW, 49thD
Reading in Exodus about the articles of the Tabernacle. The Menorah might be
described as a candlestick in the English translation, but the actual Hebrew reveals
something much more. First we find that “Menorah” is a feminine word. Then,
when we find where this word is used, we also see it referred to as being, a “being”
and not an object. How is it that we find the word “his”? We find this anomaly in the
very first verse where we find the word Menorah. In fact, each physical aspect of the
item is described as “his”.
There are SIX branches with a SEVENTH middle. On each of the six are THREE
Bowls with FOUR on the middle SEVENTH. This totals TWENTY TWO as in the
TWENTY TWO letters of the Hebrew Alephbet, or the WORD in totality.
The WORD. YHWH used the WORD, uttering through His breath, the Ruach (Holy
Spirit) ha Kadesh; the Wind. The Breath of God which spoke Creation into
Existence. The Powers. Elohim suggests more than one and every indication that
all three, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are what comprises YHWH
Elohim.
Exo 25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
Exo 25:31 And thou shalt makeH6213 a candlestickH4501 of pureH2889 gold:H2091 of beaten workH4749 shall the candlestickH4501 be made:H6213 his shaft,H3409 and his branches,H7070 his bowls,H1375 his knops,H3730 and his flowers,H6525 shall beH1961 ofH4480 the same.

Author’s Note:
The well has been dry for a while. Our family’s Passover was a disaster and the end result was to “relieve” my family of their “obligation” to keep or do any of the things I had been called to. I felt, still feel like a complete failure, that I have let down YHWH. It must be my fault, that I am an awful teacher a terrible candidate for this responsibility. We had been reading scripture anywhere from two to four nights a week. Now…. Nothing. They have embraced the departure. There is nothing I can do except pray. I have been reading in Exodus for weeks now making notes here and there. The sense of all this feels like we were a family of smokers or alcoholics. I decided to quit, but my family did not and they continue to smoke or drink right in front of me. The feeling or sense of lost, stumbling, aloneness has been overwhelming not just of my family but of God also and that has been the most difficult to deal with.
I don’t care what anyone says. No one has the right calendar system. False prophets abound. Even the Sabbath framed Divine Year Calendar outlaid in the Book of Enoch, can only be accurate if YHWH declares WHEN it begins. That has not happened yet in this day. This Divine Calendar was initiated only twice before: At the Beginning of Creation when Time began counting and then again in the Wilderness when YHWH was RETEACHING Israel His Torah. All any of us can do is attempt to practice it, rehearse it in order to understand it. It is a flawless system designed perfectly to align God’s Holy Feast Days to fall on His Sanctified Sabbaths. There is no room in the eyes of God, for a moon based system, or a solar based system. Logic dictates this as it is clearly stated over and over again in the Word by God Himself. Even the barley search is a form of worship which YHWH warned the people not to do. I don’t understand why this is even a point of contention. The Word speaks for itself yet the masses who argue and debate and get hostile refuse to SEE.
The Enoch Calendar, when understood correctly as being Sabbath framed, has answered all of the hotly debated verses and topics that Christians have fretted over, that atheists have used to debunk scripture. So, it is no surprise to me, that YHWH is speaking today, this very 49thday of the Feast of Weeks. This being the 3rd day of the 3rd month as written of in Exodus 19.

No analytical skills? Wow.
Gotta tell you, Sista, it's just after the mid night, I'm up and angry, in fact, I just had the most angry, powerful prayer I've had yet I think. Good anger I am talking about. I'm angry with myself, and I am angry with our enemies. They have been decimating us for years, because of our weakness', we can't see them, they have pretended not to exist, the legal open doors have been wide open in which the enemy, in my life anyway has many times all but destroyed me, if it wasn't for the last minute hand of our King, I wouldn't have been here many times over. And now, enough is enough.
It infuriates me!
Every time that I meet with my wife, like today.... We had to sort out who has which kid, kids plural, when and where. Money I should pay etc, I am left quietly humiliated, emasculated and beaten down. And I sit there and try to drag up some dignity to go through it, and I must go through it, stoically, basically because every accusation she brings against me is accurate, what can I say?
Reality is, she cannot not know this of course, the truth is, I did not take my stand as the spiritual head of my house, I left the doors and windows wide open for the enemy. And now before I can be lifted up again, I have to take my licks, simple as that.
I asked YHWH last week after a particularly nasty spanking, is this it? Is this the bottom? This may sound like madness, but I actually asked Him to refine me even further. And today he did. Again.
I was reading about the two traits of a Warrior Of God. 1. A deep hatred for the enemy. 2. A deep compassion for our brothers and sisters. I think I'm getting there.
I draw your attention to something you wrote in an e mail to me:
This world is getting increasingly dark as you well know. Any of us fortunate enough to stumble upon others who are like minded we need to do our best to stay connected to uplift each other. Let's face it, there is no place to fellowship in truth as we know it, so we are truly alone in this fleshly world. All we have is our e-connections for now.
How true indeed. I'm here alone on the Shabbat, you are there with your family, and yet alone standing for the King. If it wasn't for grace, I'm sure I'd be a grease spot for the miserable way I keep Shabbat and His Holy Days. I try to shop for everything before, but sometimes I go shopping, and I may find myself a bit off course once in a while throughout the day. Doing Shabbats and Holy Days alone for so many years has been a grind, unfortunately, it should be spent with family, other tribal members, a time of joy, peace love. I hope I don't sound oh woe is me here, but even a small part of that would feel amazing I am sure.
The last days are surely here, and the intensity of which I must fight every day, we must fight every day is clearly open to my eyes. I know what I must do, refine myself every single day, from first light, put myself on the altar. This must be a fight from trench to trench. And it all begins on my knees. Get wisdom which leads to understanding. Protection for my family. Putting the angels around us to care for us in all of our ways. Deliverance from the snare of the fowler, especially covering my wife, as she is my weakest point of attack and the enemy knows it. So, I ask every day that YHWH protects our marriage the same way that He protected Abraham and Sarah's marriage. To have another man stand between us and entice her away would devastate my ranks.
I just don't know, but as I understand it, she is sanctified for the sake of the children but if she steps out of that jurisdiction???? Not sure.
For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
Way I see it, my only way of four feathers redemption is, if I can get her and my kids though the coming tribulations of the like this world has never seen before or will see again, with not one hair on their head being hurt, then she will see the mighty hand of God, she will see the truth, and she will see the why.
I remember about 9 years ago being filled with so much fear, scared the tar outa me, all in an instant, I even remember in which room and in which chair I was sitting. I felt the coming tribulation so intensely, and I realized, this when my eldest son was still a baby, that I could not allow him, or my wife to go through that. And here I am again, it is so close, at the door.
The church I have found is fellowship of sorts, but every one of them is asleep to the coming storm. From what I see, very nice people. So, I go along there most every Sunday, and for a couple of hours I get to spend a few hours with the like minded.
Anyway Sister, before this turns into war and peace.
Bye.
LOL! You know Max, I once received a personnel review in which my boss at the time, stated I had no analytical skills at all.
No, I haven't given up on the calendar at all. I do believe the 364 day (Sabbath framed) calendar is the right one, but then everyone else believes that about what they follow too. While we do our best to keep it and walk it out, I'm pretty sure the time frame is off, so for right now, we are just putting it into practice so that we know how it works.
The topic is not here (in full) only because I have been unsuccessful in being able to present it using MS Excel. The viewing of the spreadsheet format comes up too tiny for anyone to view. Until I figure that out, it all has to be instructional words. Some of what is already posted does relate.
I am always amazed by your analytical dissection of word and language. Have you stopped researching your interpretation of the holy day calendar?
this is definitely an unfinished work, but in light of the fact that this was brought on this day, it was necessary to publish it. Hopefully, others will input.
