Torah Parashah –
Vayigash – And He Drew Near
B’re’shiyt / Gensis
44:18 – 47:27 RSTNE p 45
Torah Parashah –
Vayigash – And He Drew Near
Interesting
that this parshah starts with the request of Jacob/ Yocob / also known as
Israel/ Yisra’el…
Genesis 47: 29-30 p 45
“And the time drew near
that Yisra’el must die: and he called his son Yoseph, and said to
him, If now I have found favor in your sight, Please put your hand under my
thing for the oath, and deal in chesed and emet with me. Please do
not bury me in Mitzrayim:
30 But I will lie with y
ahvot, and you shall carry me out of Mitzrayim, and bury me in their
burial-place. And he said, I will do as you have said.”
And ends with the
request of Yoseph…
Genesis 50:25 p 48
“And Yoseph took an oath
from the children of Yisra’el, saying, Elohim will surely visit you, and you
shall carry up my bones from here.
26 So Yoseph died, being
on hundred ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in
Mitzrayim.”
And some of the reading
I did said that his coffin stayed above the ground in Mitzrayim for 400 years
before the children of Yisra’el carried it out.
Also in this parashah –
we have Yisra’el / Yakob (Jacob)
blessing Joseph’s (Yoseph) two sons -
Menashsheh and Efrayim.
- Remember
how Yisra’el crossed his arms to put his right hand on the 2nd born
– Menashsheh…
- Genesis
48:14-22 p 46- teaming fish
- Genesis
48:19 “fullness of the gentile nations – melo ha-goyim”
*this is only used again in Romans 11:25 p 847
“For I would not, Yisra’elite brothers, that you
should be ignorant of this mysterious secret, let you should be wise in your
own pride and conceit; that partial blindness has happened to
Yisra’el, until the fullness of the nations – the melo ha-goyim – comes in.”
Also let me remind you:
Genesis 49:10 Is a change of LAW.
“The scepter shall not
depart from Yahudah nor a lawgiver from between His feet, until Shiloh comes;
to Him shall the gathering of the nations be.”
Better translated:
Genesis 49:10
“The lawgiver departs
from Judah when obedient people show up at moeds.” – and these people are the ones
who love Yahusha and keep Shabbats.
Bones and Living…
Let’s go to
Yechezkel / Ezekiel 37 p 423
We know, thanks to
Matthew Nolan’s teaching that this chapter comes from Scroll #10 in the
collection of scrolls called Ezekiel in English.
Yechezkel 37:1-14 p 423
Vs 3 “….can
these bones live?”
In the time of the
prophet Ezekiel, after a battle – the bodies would be left on the
battlefield. And eventually these would be fields of bones…
Who are these bones?
Ezekiel 37:11
“The He said to me,
Ben-adam (son of man), these bones are the whole of Beit Yisra’el (house of
Israel): see they say Our bones are dried, and our tikvah (hope) is
lost: we are cut off.”
Now lets talk about
bones for a minute…
We know that the inside
of bones – is life.
The inside of bones – is
where bone marrow stem cells are made – which then produces red blood cells
that carry oxygen throughout our bodies. It also is a big part of
storing fats. It also produces platelets and white blood cells
-lymphocytes.
In Scripture –
Isaiah 58:11 p 341
“And YHUH shall guide
you continually, and satisfy your being in drought, and make fat your bones:
and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of mayim
(water) whose mayim fails not.”
Isaiah 66:14 p 347
“And when you see
this your leb (heart) shall simcha (joy), and your bones shall flourish like
tender grass: and the hand of YHUH shall be known towards his avadim, but His
displeasure toward His enemies.”
Jeremiah 50:17 p 390
“Yisra’el is
a scattered sheep: the loins have driven hi away: first the melech
of ashshur has devoured him; and now this Nevuchadnetzar melech of Babel has
broken his bones.”
Ezekiel 6:5p 398
“And I will lay the dead
corpses of the children of Yisra’el before their idols; and I will
scatter your bones around your altars.”
Proverbs 17:22 p 558
“ A lev (heart) of
simcha (Joy) does tov (good) like medicine: but a broken ruach
(spirit) dries the bones.”
Are you getting the idea
that bones are very important?
2 Kings 13:21 p 283
“And it came to pass, as
they were burying a man, that, see, they saw a band of raiding
men; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and
when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived and
stood upon on his feet.”
“Revived and stood upon
his feet”
“Revived” = Chayay in Hebrew
= to live, to be restored.
“Stood up on” = one Hebrew word = quwm, and this
means to rise, to stand, but also indicates to ratify, to establish.
“feet” = regal, rendered as of the
man! This hints at a promise to restore the SEED =
DNA. ‘Yet it metaphorically becomes an indicator of the loins of the
man!
David Mathews, in His
Book “The Rainbow Language” – says
“This hits at a promise
to restore the SEED – DNA – of the one resurrected.
How? Because of that
Double Portion Anointing – this by the way has nothing to do with the catch
phrase of the 1990’s coined by the Pentecostals and
Charismatics. This has to do with the Double-Portion of the Manna –
Word – Seed – Light promised to be available on the 6th day,
6,000 year of Creation – the very day we are living in!
However this anointing
of Elisha originated from THE MANTLE OF ELIJAH WHICH FELL UPON
ELISHA! Many scholars believe this is the same Mantle of Adam, Shem,
Abraham, Elijah and here. It is thought to have been
passed to John the Baptist, who passes it to the Messiah! Could it
have been the Rainbow Coat of Many Colors, representing the Language of
Creation?
(David Mathews – The
Rainbow Language:)
The Dead man in the
story of 2 Kings 13:21 – the guy who was dead and gets
thrown in to Elisha’s bones…
“It has been said that
this dead man was Shallum (son of Tikvah), keeper of the temple wardrobe in the
reign of Josiah and husband of Huldah the prophetess.” – (David Mathews Rainbow
Language book page 116)
Mathews goes on to
explain this more..
2 Kings 22:14 p291
“So Hilkiyahu the kohen,
and Ahikam, and Achvor, and Shaphan, and Asayah, went to Huldah the neviyah
(prophet), the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of
the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Yahrushalayim studying Torah) and they communed
with her.”
Huldah = the common translation is weasel….
“However – there are two separate roots of the form HLD in the Bible and they obviously have nothing to do with each other.”
“However – there are two separate roots of the form HLD in the Bible and they obviously have nothing to do with each other.”
From one of these = dig, or hollow
out. In Aramaic it means to creep or crawl.
From the other root = “The entire tenure or
length of one’s life as in Job 11:17, Isaiah 38:11, and Psalm
89:47. As such, it is sometimes translates as “world”, hinting
at all of life’s action on earth.
Shallum = the root is Shalom (son of
Tikvah)
Tikvah = hope, expectation. It is also rendered
as ‘a rope or cord’. Like the scarlet cord of Rahab.”
Mathews writes:
“Is it just me, or can
you sense the connection with this ‘dead man’ being made alive, resurrected,
simply because he was a “keeper of the Garment”, that brought an expected
Peace? Wasn’t ‘Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men’ the
initial salutation of the Melakim – angels regarding the first coming of the
Prince of Peace! There’s seems a definite connection to the DNA of
this language resonating in the bones of Adam!
So if we go back to
Ezekiel’s vision:
“Dry bones” implies –
not having marrow where the DNA is formed.
“the Breath of YHUH
breathed into these bones infuses them with His DNA, thus enabling them to be
resurrected!”
“Could these bones seen
by Ezekiel be a picture of the bones – DNA of Joseph that were carried out at
the Exodus as a reminder of the future gathering of the Bones or house of
Joseph who would be scattered among the nations.”
“Can these bones live?”
“YHUH breathed life, His
word into these bones.”
“Words are sounds with
distinct vibrational frequencies much like the different ranges of the Light or
Color spectrum.”
“It is also quite an
established fact that the Human Body itself is a natural resonator.”
“We exhibit electrical
current through the synapses of the nerves which transmit ‘coded messages’
throughout the body. This resonance is greatly enhanced by crystalline
nature of this water-filled chamber! It can transmit and receive
Sound, Light, and Color and seems to have a specific tonal (musical) frequency
when in optimum health; while demonstrating a propensity toward
disease when the specific frequency is disturbed.”
Mathews goes on to say:
“Modern Message Therapy
has concluded that our spinal column, filled with the life giving spinal fluid
which conducts and transmits through this vast nerve trunk is wonderfully
capable of absorbing different kinds of vibratory energy and responding with
harmonic vibrations. When the spine ‘SINGS’ well, it moves
effortlessly and harmoniously, with all parts of the body working as an
integral unit. When the spine is out of tune, movement becomes stiff,
uncomfortable, and too often, painful.”
“The noted therapist,
June Leslie Weider has concluded that bone is an excellent transmitter of
vibration and is thus capable of releasing that sound contained within its
core. Each Individual bone lends its own distinct note when
‘tuned’ properly. As a result of a properly tuned spine, the body
demonstrates better health. Further, Joshua Leeds author of The
Power of Sound, stresses the importance of using care with
sound: “Be aware of the power of sound; use it
consciously. As with any substance, there can be positive and
negative applications. Consider music and sound as ‘thinking
people’s drugs.’ They can enhance, arouse, or
depress. Like food water, wine, sex, and pharmaceuticals, it
all comes down to frequency and dosage. The question
becomes: how often and how much? Applied to the
effectiveness of auditory stimulation, as well as nervous system
balance, the answer is always individual. This is the nature of sound” subtle,
powerful, personal. (The Power of Sound by Joshua Leeds 2010)
“Science now validates
that Color and Light have resonating frequencies that can and in fact have,
healing powers!”
Red light therapy = longest wave length - penetrates skin and soft tissue
up to one inch deep without producing heat.
Helps improve blood circulation, relaxation of
stiff muscles. Improves skin conditions, acne eczema, scarring
burns, skin cancer, cold sores and rosacea.
Stimulates
ATP production energy
Increases
white blood cells to repair damaged tissues.
Decreases
swelling and inflammation.
Blue light therapy = jaundice, Seasonal Affective Disorder
Ultra-violet light therapy = psoriasis, acne, and mobilizes forces in
body to
Kill
acne causing bacteria.
Light controls vitamin D
production in body and before artificial light – all women cycled the same,
based on light.
“Everything in creation
is based on the principal, the power of the sowing and reaping.”
Mark 4:26 p 710
“And he said, So is the
malchut of YHUH, as if a man should cast zera (seed) into the ground.”
Mathews goes on to stay
that if we expect change - then we better start seeing “eternal
changes in our mortal bodies.”
“Yahusha became the
first kernel of seed planted. He lives as the proof! Our
words should demonstrate the same. He is foreshadowed in the picture
of the Ark of the Covenant as the Eternal Light source.”
“The Ark represents
Yahusha : the Living Word/Light which served as a catalyst within the
Tabernacle whose form resembled that of a Man. The Tabernacle
construction ensured that electricity in the form of Static electricity would
be created by the friction from its massive veils and curtains and ‘caught’ within
the storage unit known as the Ark! This caused the Tabernacle to be
continuously illuminated structure. Light is the source of
Life! Light is Word, the entrance of which brings this light back
into the body-temple – If unclean – carnal man touches it, he completes the
circuit, is grounded and death ensues.”
“If a spiritual man
touches it his DNA is changed! By touching the Ark – Yahusha were
power storehouse, the human body – can also be transmitter of
power! The renewal of which begins in the MIND!”
“Rabbis teach that there
is a bone at the base of the skull called the “LUZ”
bone. The first mention of Luz is Gen 28:19: - translated
almond. The Rod of Aaron (the Priestly Rod becomes
faithful) was hewn from an almond tree. Tradition teaches
it is from this SEED that YHUH will resurrect the body. This bone is
situated just behind where the mind and body connect, at the base of the
brain in the skull! This bone is situated just where the mind and body connect, at the base of the brain in the skull! The battle is
won or lost here. The mind must be renewed by the washing of this
Word, the illumination by this light.” !!!!
So now let me add
something else:
Adam
says “She is bone of my bones.” In Genesis 2:23
Bone = etsem = essence,
substance.
Etsem = root ETZ = the
word for TREE.
The bones of the Torah
Scroll are called “Etz ha chayim”
Man’s skeletal system
becomes his “tree of life” The spinal fluid, the living water,
becomes a conductor for the electrical current of His word are transmitted
through the synapse of every nerve to the extremities of the Body!”
So now look at Ezekiel –
You are being asked “Son of Man, can these Bones live?”
Tree = etz = comprised of 2 Hebrew letters:
Ayin
= to see, understand, to obey, it can also indicate the womb or gate.
Tzade = the upright or righteous
one. The reflections of YHUH. It is the mate to the Aleph
(the creator) representing the Bride!
The Word picture here – “The womb is
the gate to understanding the Righteous One and His bride!”
Bone = etzem
Ayin,
Tzade, Mem = so this is the Ayin Tzade above
Mem
= water (the spring/womb of origin of Torah). The Mem is an ‘open’ indicating the revealed Word of Yah.
The extrapolated
Definition: “The womb is the gate to understanding the Righteous One
and His Bride born from the Living Waters!
“Just as the Tree of
Life is planted by a River of Living Water, man also must seek his existence at
this same source (Psalm 1) man also must seek his existence at this
same source. Your bones, become like this THE TREE OF LIFE out of
which should flow a constant LIVING WATER SOURCE … IE the spinal fluid.”

Okay – all that said…
where have you been the last while?
It seems to me like
things are really challenging. Very difficult lately….
What is the health of
your bones…
Osteoporosis… thinning….
Losing strength/density.
There are some that say
that bones represent our deepest beliefs.
-When you break a bone –
the ossification (new bone formation) of healing actually makes it stronger…
Can these bones live?
Can you live?
How are you going to
manage?
Some day – there will be
fields of bones….
Because … there will be
a war…. A war to kill the one who comes on the White Horse….
And there will be bodies
left… not buried….
And they will all rise
up…. Every one will rise up… to judgment….
And who can live?
The ones who have the
testimony of Yahusha and keep YHUH’s instructions.
Philippians 2:10-11 p 890
Revelation 12:17 p 919
Revelation 14:12 p 921
How then shall we live ?
Interesting that
resistance training / strength training increases the strength and density of
our bones.
Now apply that to
challenges in our lives.
Genesis 50:20 p 48.
Ephesians 6:11-19 p 887
STAND = wake up, get up
and know that you have been given ALL you need to do what He calls you to do
and go do it!
D’barim (Deuteronomy)
28:47 p 159
Because you did not
serve YHUH your Alohim with simcha (joy) and with gladness of lev (heart) for
the abundance of all things….
Joyfulness (simcha)
The letters of simcha =
Sharp,
press, - destroy
Chaos,
might, blood, out of, - water
Fence,
outside, half, divide, protect, - wall
Look,
man behold, reveal, show, sight – raised arms
Gladness of heart =
Goodness,
gladness, joy, well, beauty, prosperity, discernment. In the wildest
sense, the best, welfare, fair, go well with. Goodness of intelligence,
good understanding.
Heart = heart, consider mind, understanding,
inner man, inner part, thinking, reflection inclination, resolution,
determination of will , conscience, heart – moral character, a seal
of appetite, emotions, PASSION, COURAGE.
WHEN DO YOU SERVE WITH
PASSION AND COURAGE AND JOY?
When it is easy or when
it is really really really tough.
Anyone can start a
marathon… only some finish.
Finish
well…. So that you hear -
“Well done, My good and faithful servant.”
“Well done, My good and faithful servant.”
Finish well.
