Torah Parashah – B’midbar /In the Wilderness/Desert

B’midbar/ Numbers 1:1 – 4:20

Isra’el is still at Campsite # 11 – Mount Sinai.

(– Information from “Called to Canaan Volume 1” by Danette Davis and Shauna Manfredine.)

Let’s review what has happened at Campsite #11 – Mt Sinai

1.     YHUH’s first order of business at Sinai was to assure His people,

That HE claimed them as His own.  That He promised to bear them on “eagle’s wings” to their Canaan destination.  

(Keep in mind that this was a promise to Yisra’el then…

It is also a promise to Yisra’el now.)

 

Shemoth/Ex 19:4-5 p 62

“You have seen what I did to the Mitzrim, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to Myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and shomer My brit, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above all peoples: for all the earth is mine.”

 

Don’t miss here that Yah says,

“above all peoples”… THEN you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me above ALL peoples”

Isn’t this interesting?

“IF you will obey and shomer (watch, keep, guard, and remember) my brit – covenant…. THEN you shall be a peculiar treasure to Me – above ALL peoples.”

Seems to me Yah is saying – if you keep His instructions – that is a treasure to Him.

2.     Yisra’el experience some key events at Sinai

a.     They received the 10 Living Words

b.     They received the written law of the Book of the Law, after they broke the marriage Ketubah

c.     They received the instructions for building the Tabernacle, and constructed it, so Yahuah could dwell among them.

d.     They were ratified into Covenant with Yahuah.

 

3.      Moshe went up the Mt Sinai – 7 times. Seven represents spiritual completeness. – 7 times Moshe was giving parts of all the instructions!

 

4.     Yisra’el agreed to obey – to a marriage… and then they fell into worship of a pagan trinity…WHILE professing to worship Yahuah. 

 

Remember the golden calf was a problem for several reasons:

 

A.    The golden calf was NOT a single entity.

There were 3 gods represented in it.

B.   They were blasphemously mixing idolatry into their supposed worship of the Living God.

Exodus 32: 3-4

          “And all the people broke off the golden earrings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aharon.

4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a golden calf – and they said, These be your alohim, O Yisrael, which brought you up out of the land of Mitzrayim.”

          “These be your alohim” – both ‘these’ and ‘alohim’ are PLURAL.

          Plus:

-          The solar disc on its head – represents the serpent/sun ‘god’ as the ‘father’ of the calf.

-          So that means you have

‘father’ = sun disc

 and ‘son’ = calf

-          The female part is represented by the base of the statue.

(This large stone altar is still standing today.  Remember Moshe ground up the calf and the sun disc.)

On these stones are petroglyphs depicting the Egyptian bull god Apis and his cow-wife Hathor. 

In the Egyptian false religion, this ‘bovine’ family represented the unholy trinity. 

     These deities were also known as

     Sun god – and moon goddess, and the false savior – mashiach tachat – anti- messiah.

The modern teaching related to this is – Europa and the Bull.

 

Europa – another name for Samarimis (now called mary) was a virgin.

The sun god changed into a bull and came to earth, enchanted Europa, carried her away, and raped her.  Then he returned to the sky.

The rape resulted in the birth of the sun god’s son – sometimes represented as the calf. 

 

This is the basis for the name of the continent of Europe, and it is where Christianity gets the teachings on the “trinity”. 

 

It is not a coincidence that ALL of the holy days on the current Christian calendar are identical to the pagan worship days for this unholy trinity, manifested as the bovine family of Egypt, but originating in Babylon as Nimrod, Samarimis, and Tammuz.

 

Two of the highest ‘holy’ days for the worship of this trinity are:

1.     Dec 25 -the birthday of the sun ‘god’s’ son

2.     Easter – the day of the unholy son’s resurrection.

 

The son of the sun ‘god’ has many names including Mithras, Baal, Tammuz, Molech and even Jesus!

The days they celebrate his birthday and resurrection day – make it easy to recognize him.

 

But worse than just the calf representing the UNHOLY TRINITY –

As I said earlier, - They were actually “worshipping” Yahuah by blasphemously mixing idolatry into their supposed worship of the Living God.

 

“There is nothing more offensive to Yahuah than the mixing of profane, idolatrous practices into His sacred worship. It is the ultimate blasphemy and an act tantamount to the highest level of spiritual rebellion.”  

- Lev 20:2-4 p 96

 

Going to the Parashah for today:

 

So that said, they are still at Campsite #11 – Mt Sinai

And Yah says to take a census:

All the men, 20 and above, able to go to war, and divided them by tribe.

 

So they counted all the men, but didn’t include the tribe of Levi.

 

Then in chapter 2 –

Yahuah gives instructions as to who the leaders of each tribe are and  where each tribe is to stand by their banner. 

 

Chapter 3 is instructions of what each Levite family is supposed to do.

Then counted the males of Levi,

then they counted all the first born males of Yisra’el from a month old and upward.

 

They collected money from Yisra’el and gave the money to the priests.
