TORAH: Exodus 25:1-27:19
• Moses led the Israelites from Egypt to Mount Sinai.
• There, Yahweh had them review their Covenant (given
originally to Abraham)
• Gave them Ten Statements of how to keep their Marriage
Covenant with Him (Genesis 15; Exodus 19:5-8).
• Those were agreed upon by both parties and are found in
the Mosaic Covenant. This Covenant was also called the
Gospel, the testimony, the will, the good news and the
Wedding Covenant/ketubah.
review . . .
• The ketubah is a legal document detailing the vows spoken
and agreed upon by both parties in a Hebrew marriage.
• Given at the betrothal (originally by Yahweh to His Bride at
the Feast of Pentecost/Shavuot), it is the foundation for the
couple’s wedding and marriage. At this stage the bride and
bridegroom are officially married but not living together until
their wedding day is complete (Exodus 20:1- 23:33; Galatians
3:7-8).
review . . .
 Forty days and forty nights Yahweh taught Moses the fullness
of the ketubah
 He also saw the house Yehushua built for His bride.
 Moses was to follow the blueprint to build a replica on earth.
 Mishkan – tabernacle, a picture of His Kingdom
 Yehushua wants His bride to feel comfortable living in His
house before the wedding took place.

Acts 7:44-50 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the
wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according
to the pattern that he had seen, which our fathers, having received
it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the
Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until
the days of David, who found favor before God and asked to find a
dwelling for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built Him a house.
However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with
hands, as the prophet says: Heaven is My throne, and earth is My
footstool. What house will you build for Me says Yahweh, or what is
the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?”
(Isaiah 66).

John 14:2-4 “Yeshua said, ‘I am going there to prepare a place for
you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and
take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
You know the way to the place where I am going.’”
Acts 15:16 “After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle

2 Corinthians 6:16 “For you are the temple of the living God. As God
has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their
God, and they shall be My people.’”
Revelation 21:2-3 “Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a Bride adorned
for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,
‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with
them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them
and be their God.’”

Offerings for the Tabernacle - Mishkan
• mishkan (Strong’s H908),: a dwelling, to dwell, reside with
others and inhabit.
• Yahweh devoted 13 chapters to it in His Word.
Hebrews 8:1-2, 5 “We have such a High Priest [Yeshua], who is
seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the
heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true
tabernacle which Yahweh erected, and not man. They [the
Israelites in the wilderness] serve at a sanctuary that is a copy
and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was
warned [by Yahweh] when he was about to build the
tabernacle: ‘See to it that you make everything according to
the pattern shown you on the mountain.’ ”
• “And this is the contribution which you take up from them:
gold(1), and silver(2), and bronze(3), and blue(4) and purple(5)
and scarlet(6) material, and fine linen(7), and goats’ hair(8),
and rams’ skins(9) dyed red, and fine leather(10), and acacia
wood(11), oil for the light(12), spices (13) for the anointing oil
and for the sweet incense, shoham stones(14), and stones to
be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate(15).
(Exodus 25:3-7)
Offerings for the Tabernacle - Mishkan
• 15 is the numeric value of “Yud-Hey” or “Yah”.
• Genesis 7:20, when the flood covered the earth, the water
was 15 cubits above the mountain tops.
• The door and gate curtains or “hangings”, in Exodus 27 and
38, for the Tabernacle were all 15 cubits high.
• the prophet paid 15 shekels as the “bride price” for the whore
he married in Hoshea 3:1-2.
• Fifteen is also the numeric value of the letters in Yah‟s
attribute of “Hod” (Chet-vav-dalet), meaning “glory”,
“splendor” and “majesty”.
Offerings for the Tabernacle - Mishkan
The Ark
• Yahweh teaches the details of His mishkan starting from the
inside out. The Ark is a reflection of His heart and how He
dwells within us.
• When our heart will reflect His Glory; but first His Glory must
be placed inside the Ark
The Ark
• Two poles were to be permanently placed on the side of the
ark symbolizing the portability of the Ark and representing the
fact that we always need to be ready to move as the Spirit
leads
• (Two poles: Two trees/two witnesses/two houses Israel and
Judah – all acting as one).
Exodus 25:16 “And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony
which I shall give thee.”
A New Covenant?
• Hebrews 8:8-10 “Behold, the days are coming, says Yahweh,
when I will make a new covenant [a re-newed Marriage
Covenant] with the House of Israel and with the House of
Judah [united together they represent the whole House of
Jacob/Israel and also called the House of David] - not
according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in
the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the
land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My [Marriage]
Covenant, and I disregarded them, says Yahweh. For this is the
Covenant that I will make with the [whole] house of Israel
after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My laws in their mind
and write them on their hearts [it will no longer be written on
stone!]; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people
[Bride]” (Jeremiah 31:31-33).
A New Covenant?
• The word new in Hebrew 8:8 does not mean brand new as the
English translation indicates. New here is the Greek word
kainos which means re-newed, Strong’s G2537.
• Yahweh is saying He will renew His Marriage Covenant with
the House of Israel and with the House of Judah.
• It is the Covenant of Abraham that we enter into when we
became born again.
• The gift of salvation we receive (called the Promise), is in the
Abrahamic Covenant.
• The Abrahamic Covenant represents the entrance into the
outer court that surrounds the tabernacle.
Gal 3:8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by
faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:"All
nations will be blessed through you." 9 So those who rely on
faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
A New Covenant?
• Building upon the promises that Yahweh gave Abraham, the
next Covenant imparted to His Bride at Mt. Sinai is called the
Mosaic Covenant.
• This Covenant represents the activities of the outer court (the
brazen altar and the laver).
• The outer court is where the Bride learns how to prepare to
enter the tabernacle.
• The Mosaic Covenant contains Yahweh’s Kingdom morals,
ethics, consciences, integrities, values, ideologies, doctrines,
attitudes, beliefs, standards, and norms - laws of
tabernacle/temple that are codified in the Ten
Commandments.
A New Covenant?
• Learning Yahweh’s principles, nature and lifestyle through the
outer court raises a believer’s walk in holiness and
righteousness. This sanctification opens the way into the next
Covenant called the Davidic Covenant. This Covenant resides
inside the tabernacle where holiness resides.
• The Davidic Covenant is in the order of Melchizedek. It is here
believers are mindful of carrying out the duties of a priest in
the tabernacle (Hebrews 12:14).
1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you
may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a
people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained
mercy but now have obtained mercy.”
A New Covenant?
• By Yahweh’s design, each Covenant reinforces and is built
upon the one prior to it.
• In approximately 324 AD, the emerging Christian Church
decided that the teachings and instructions given to Moses at
Mount Sinai were too Jewish and they were officially rejected.
Harsh restrictions and even death was imposed upon anyone
wishing to practice the biblical Mosaic lifestyle and Godly
principles thus David’s tent (Covenant) fell.
Davidic CovenantAbarahamic Covenant Mosaic Covenant
A New Covenant?
• Yeshua is looking for a Bride, one who is walking in His truth,
serving in holiness (actions/lifestyle matching His
Word/Marriage Covenant), for without holiness no one will
see Him.
Davidic CovenantAbarahamic Covenant Mosaic Covenant
David’s Fallen Tent
• Today, the Covenant that is being re-newed and re-stored is
the restoration of the House of David (Davidic Covenant).
• What the church calls the “New Testament” is really the re-
newed Covenant of David. All the books in the “New
Testament” are written is such a way as to restore David’s
Covenant.
David’s Fallen Tent
Act 15:13-18 And after [hearing Paul’s testimony] they had become
silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me:
Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take
out of them a people for His name. And with this the words of the
prophets agree, just as it is written: ‘After this I will return and will
rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild
its ruins, and I will set it up; so that the rest of mankind may seek the
LORD/YHWH, even all the Gentiles [Nations] who are called by My
name, says the LORD/YHWH who does all these things.’ Known to
God from eternity are all His works.”
David’s Fallen Tent
• What was the last thing the disciples asked Yeshua after His
resurrection and forty days on earth?
Act 1:6 “they asked Him, saying, ‘Lord, will You at this time
restore the kingdom to Israel?’ ”
• The kingdom of Israel can only be restored through the
Davidic Covenant. Yeshua’s disciples were asking Him - the son
of David, “When was He [the King], going to restore David’s
fallen tent, [His Kingdom]”?
• a redemption revival happens when a repentant, returning,
wayward Bride is choosing to walk in orderly tabernacle style
being empowered by the Bridegroom’s principles that re-new
the Mosaic and Davidic Covenants.
David’s Fallen Tent
• The whole re-newed covenant is written to the Bride - those
desiring to walk in the order of Melchizedek. When believers
walk in it, the prophesies in Amos 9:11 and Acts 15:15 will
also be fulfilled – thus restoring David’s fallen tent - the
Restoration of the House of David.
Amos 9:11 “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David,
which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up
its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old”
The Ark of the Covenant – The Mercy Seat
• An atonement cover called the mercy seat, which is a representation
of Yeshua, is to cover the ark. This cover, including the cherubim is
made from one piece of pure solid hammered gold and corresponds
to the Abrahamic Covenant. In this Covenant our hearts are covered
by Yeshua’s atonement. His blood sacrifice is a higher and more
perfect offering than blood offered from animals and completes the
need for a sin and guilt offering once and for all. This is why the
atonement cover is over the Ark.

• When Spirit (Abrahamic Covenant) and Truth (Mosaic Covenant)
come together - the Davidic Covenant is restored (re-newed). This is
called the Restoration of the House of David/the Order of
Melchizedek.
• Two cherubim guard over the ark, representing the two witnesses of
Yeshua’s testimony. Together they usher in the Messianic Era, which
we are in today.

covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted

worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is

Him must worship in spirit and truth” (1 John 5:6).

The Table of Showbread
• He is the sinless offering. This unleavened bread kept the Israelites
alive, sustaining them for forty years in the desert.
• Yeshua is the Torah, the Word - Yahweh’s teaching and instruction,
made flesh. Moses was instructed to always keep the Word (their
Marriage Covenant) before them.
• There are to be twelve loaves of bread displayed on the table of
showbread, one for each tribe. Together the tribes represent His
Bride who is filled with His Presence.
• This table was also to be made of acacia
wood covered with pure gold with two
carrying poles on either side for travel.
• The Bread of the Presence was to be
before Yahweh at all times.
• This bread, as we learned from the
previous study Beshalach represented
the manna, the sinless Presence of His
Flesh/Yeshua.
The Table of Showbread
John 6:53-58 Yeshua said to [His disciples], “I tell you the truth, unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have
no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has
eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is
real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and
drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living
Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who
feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came
down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he
who feeds on this bread will live forever”
The Lampstand - Menorah
Exodus 25:31-40 “Make a menorah of pure gold and hammer it out,
base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms shall be of one
piece with it. Six branches are to extend from the sides of the
menorah - three on one side and three on the other. Three cups
shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one
branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches
extending from the menorah. And on the menorah there are to be
four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. Then
make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the
space in front of it. See that you make them according to the pattern
shown you on the mountain”
The Lampstand - Menorah
• The menorah represents the Messiah of Israel.
Yeshua said, “I am the light of the world” (Jo
8:12).
• As the Bridegroom of Israel, He will light the
path to reveal the way of the Bride
• The menorah is also a symbol of the Bride’s
mission. As the mishkan is to be made in the
pattern given, when the Bride walks in Yeshua’s
right ways she will reflect His Light to the nations
(Isaiah 42:7).
• It is said that pure gold is one of the easiest metals to work
with. It can be beaten into a transparent gold foil over five
hundred times thinner than a human hair. Thus Yahweh asked
for the menorah to be fashioned and ornately decorated using
one piece of pure gold.
The Cups of the Menorah
• The pattern of the menorah called for
three decorative cups to be on each of the
six branches extending from the
lampstand. Only on the main shaft itself
were there to be four cups.
• The cups on the menorah remind the
Bride of the cups she drank during the
Marriage vows with her Bridegroom at His
appointed feasts, vowing to be His faithful
Bride.
• The cups on the menorah and the branches were designed in the
shape of open almond blossoms. The almond tree represents
firstfruits and is the earliest tree to bloom after the winter in
Israel.
• Yeshua is the firstfruits from the dead and we are His firstfruits.
We were dead outside of Yeshua. When He redeemed us and
raised us from death to life, we became His firstfruits (Eze37:1-4)..
The Cups of the Menorah
• The almond blossom turns into fruit that
contains edible seed called a nut.
Almond in Hebrew is shaqad (Strong’s
H8246) from the root verb (Strong’s
H8245) meaning to diligently watch.
Jeremiah 1:11-12 “The word of Yahweh came to me: ‘What do you
see, Jeremiah?’ ‘I see the branch of an almond tree,’ I replied.
Yahweh said to me, ‘You have seen correctly, for I am watching
to see that my word is fulfilled.’”
• The Bride is to diligently watch her ways (rightly walking in His
instructions), as she eagerly awaits for her Bridegroom, Yeshua
the Messiah’s/HaMashiach’s, return.
The Cups of the Menorah
Song of Solomon 2:10-12 “My lover spoke and said to me, ‘Arise,
my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me. See! The
winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on
the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is
heard in our land.’”
The Cups of the Menorah
• The three cups on the six branches of the menorah are symbols,
which represent the commandment for the Israelites (believers) to
come before Yahweh at His appointed feasts three times a year to
worship Him.
• The first cup represents the cup of acceptance that the Bride
will drink at the first Feast in the Spring at the Passover and the
seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread.
• The second cup represents the cup of betrothal the Bride drinks
at the second feast in late spring or early summer called the
Feast of Shavuot, also called the Feast of Pentecost.
• The third cup represents the cup the Bride will drink at the third
feast in the fall at the Feast of Tabernacles (which is a name that
incorporates all three Fall feasts). This will be the wedding (Yom
Kippur/Atonement) and celebration cup at the Wedding supper
of the Lamb (Sukkot/Tabernacles).
The Cups of the Menorah
• Only on the main shaft (also called The Branch) of the menorah
is there a fourth cup.
• The branch represents Yeshua, and the fourth cup represents
the cup He drank on our behalf at His death called the cup of
bitterness.
• He took our cup in fulfillment of the Law of Jealousy regarding a
wife suspected of being unfaithful to her husband.
• Believers are the unfaithful Bride. In Yeshua’s faithfulness to His
Bride and in fulfillment to the Covenant He made with her, He
took our cup and drank our judgment and our death upon
Himself. This is the cup of judgment that set us free and brought
about our deliverance - thus our praise and thankfulness
(Numbers 5:5-31; Luke 22:42)
The Cups of the Menorah
Exo 5:11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 "Speak to the Israelites and
say to them:'If a man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13
so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is
hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since
there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the
act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he
suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and
suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take
his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an
ephah of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it
or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a
reminder- offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.16 "'The
priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then
he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from
the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the
woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in
her hands the reminder- offering, the grain offering for jealousy,
while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.
The Cups of the Menorah
19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If
no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not
gone astray and become impure while married to your husband,
may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if
you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have
made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other
than your husband"— 21 here the priest is to put the woman
under this curse —"may the Lord cause you to become a curse
among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your
abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your
body so that your abdomen swells or your womb
miscarries.""'Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."23 "'The
priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off
into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter
water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and
causes bitter suffering will enter her.
The Cups of the Menorah
25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy,
wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is
then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering
and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink
the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful
to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink
the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will
enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and
she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made
herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be
able to have children.
The Buds and Blossoms of the Menorah
• Yahweh’s pattern for the menorah also had buds
and blossoms on both the main branch and on
the six branches.
• They were to be placed directly below the cups.
• These buds and blossoms represent how
believers will start to bear seed and glorify
Yeshua bearing much fruit when they abide in
His word.
• A solid piece of gold, in the shape of a menorah, cannot stand on its own
without some internal strength.
• Yeshua has been tried. He is the Living testimony, the true menorah, the
Light of the world. Only He can perfectly keep the Covenant.
• His testimony is revealed in His Feasts. He will be faithful to fulfill all that
He has promised and appointed concerning His heirs.
Oil for the Menorah
• The Temple of Yahweh now lives
within the heart of the believer.
• If believers do not know how to
maintain the light of the menorah
or preserve the bread of His
Presence, how will the Bride know
the timing of her wedding or be
prepared to join her Bridegroom?
• The menorah is the only light in the Holy Place.
• Oil has been provided for the Bride’s journey to light her way but
the oil can only be useful if the menorah has been maintained and
the wicks are trimmed.
• Without light the Bride is unable to see the Word (Bread of His
Presence) and her path will be darkened. Maintaining the
menorah will allow her to see clearly and find her way to her
wedding
Oil for the Menorah
• Wicks were needed. They came from
recycled worn white linen priestly
garments, cut into strips and woven
together. These fed the oil to the
flame.
• Without the priestly connection
there would be no flame for the
temple lamps.
• Yeshua is our High Priest. Walking in
His ways produces light in our lives.
• The extra oil will be needed for the Bride to enter the Bridal
Chamber when her Bridegroom returns
• It’s harvested in abundance when she gathers at His pre-
appointed times, rehearsals and Sabbaths
Matthew 25:4 “The wise [virgins] took oil in their vessels with their
lamps.”
Model of the Menorah
• There will always be two witnesses
of the Messiah just are there are
two trees patterned in the
menorah, the almond tree (by the
buds and blossoms) and the olive
tree (by the olive oil used).
• Also represented is the flax plant,
from which the linen for the wick is
produced.. (priestly garments)
• Just as the almond tree is the
earliest to bloom in spring in Israel,
flax is one of the earlier plants
harvested.
• after the flax has flowered, a seed pod forms. The pod has
separate cells that contain ten seeds of varying sizes and colors.
These represent the ten lost tribes of Israel who are multicolored
and still identifiable as part of Israel today hidden in Messiah.
Model of the Menorah
• Flax goes through a refining
process of soaking, drying and
beating. The long fibers that are
woven and made into cloth are
called linen.
• Linen represents the righteous acts
of the saints who have chosen to
mirror their lifestyle after Yeshua
and His ways.
• All three plants produce oils that
provide healing and health
benefits.
Isaiah 53:5 “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed
for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was
upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Model of the Menorah
Revelation 11:3-4 “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and
they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days,
clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two
lampstands standing before the God of the earth.”
• The Two Houses of Israel, the House
of Judah and the House of Israel,
are the two witnesses of the
Messiah. When they come together,
one brings the Torah and the other
the Messiah; when Torah (Kingly
portion) and Messiah (Priestly
portion) meet in the order of
Melchizedek, oil will flow from the
two olive trees and the Menorah
will fill with oil and become a light
to the Nations. This is the
restoration of David’s fallen
tent/covenant (Ezekiel 37:15-28).
The Tabernacle -
Mishkan
• The curtains in the mishkan are embroidered with blue, purple and
scarlet yarn and are woven together with a cherubim design. The
blue represents the heavenly realms of Yeshua; the purple
represents His royalty and the scarlet represents Yeshua’s precious
shed blood, His death and resurrection.
The Tabernacle - Mishkan
• Yahweh communicated the proper placement of the furniture.
• The ark with its atonement cover was the only furniture in the Holy
of Holies.
• A curtain was used to separate the Holy and Most Holy Places.
• The table containing the bread of the Presence was placed on the
north side of the Holy Place and the menorah was placed on the
south side. Another curtain completed the mishkan.
Altar of Burnt Offering
• This altar was made of acacia wood covered with bronze to endure
the heat of the altar. For believers this is the place where the Bride
(believer) leaves any dishonoring natures behind to pursue holiness
and righteous.
• The walk of redemption first starts with surrendering all that would
hinder one’s life and leaving it on the altar as an offering.
Altar of Burnt Offering
Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to
God, which is your reasonable service.”
The Courtyard
• Huge draped linen curtains were to define the large courtyard
surrounding the tabernacle/mishkan. The linen represents the place
where righteous acts are taught and a lifestyle of redemption is
learned. Behind these curtains is where the character of the
Bride/believer is formed. More impurities are revealed as the Bride
approaches the tabernacle/mishkan. All unresolved issues of self-
nature and dishonor dissolve during the redemptive process where
the believer’s soul is transformed for His use.

The Tabernacle Blueprint: God's Dwelling Place for His Bride

  • 2.
  • 3. • Moses led the Israelites from Egypt to Mount Sinai. • There, Yahweh had them review their Covenant (given originally to Abraham) • Gave them Ten Statements of how to keep their Marriage Covenant with Him (Genesis 15; Exodus 19:5-8). • Those were agreed upon by both parties and are found in the Mosaic Covenant. This Covenant was also called the Gospel, the testimony, the will, the good news and the Wedding Covenant/ketubah. review . . .
  • 4. • The ketubah is a legal document detailing the vows spoken and agreed upon by both parties in a Hebrew marriage. • Given at the betrothal (originally by Yahweh to His Bride at the Feast of Pentecost/Shavuot), it is the foundation for the couple’s wedding and marriage. At this stage the bride and bridegroom are officially married but not living together until their wedding day is complete (Exodus 20:1- 23:33; Galatians 3:7-8). review . . .
  • 5.  Forty days and forty nights Yahweh taught Moses the fullness of the ketubah  He also saw the house Yehushua built for His bride.  Moses was to follow the blueprint to build a replica on earth.  Mishkan – tabernacle, a picture of His Kingdom  Yehushua wants His bride to feel comfortable living in His house before the wedding took place. blueprint
  • 6. Acts 7:44-50 “Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as He appointed, instructing Moses to make it according to the pattern that he had seen, which our fathers, having received it in turn, also brought with Joshua into the land possessed by the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers until the days of David, who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built Him a house. However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me says Yahweh, or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?” (Isaiah 66). blueprint
  • 7. John 14:2-4 “Yeshua said, ‘I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.’” Acts 15:16 “After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle blueprint
  • 8. 2 Corinthians 6:16 “For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.’” Revelation 21:2-3 “Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’” blueprint
  • 9. Offerings for the Tabernacle - Mishkan • mishkan (Strong’s H908),: a dwelling, to dwell, reside with others and inhabit. • Yahweh devoted 13 chapters to it in His Word. Hebrews 8:1-2, 5 “We have such a High Priest [Yeshua], who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which Yahweh erected, and not man. They [the Israelites in the wilderness] serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned [by Yahweh] when he was about to build the tabernacle: ‘See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.’ ”
  • 10. • “And this is the contribution which you take up from them: gold(1), and silver(2), and bronze(3), and blue(4) and purple(5) and scarlet(6) material, and fine linen(7), and goats’ hair(8), and rams’ skins(9) dyed red, and fine leather(10), and acacia wood(11), oil for the light(12), spices (13) for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, shoham stones(14), and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate(15). (Exodus 25:3-7) Offerings for the Tabernacle - Mishkan
  • 11. • 15 is the numeric value of “Yud-Hey” or “Yah”. • Genesis 7:20, when the flood covered the earth, the water was 15 cubits above the mountain tops. • The door and gate curtains or “hangings”, in Exodus 27 and 38, for the Tabernacle were all 15 cubits high. • the prophet paid 15 shekels as the “bride price” for the whore he married in Hoshea 3:1-2. • Fifteen is also the numeric value of the letters in Yah‟s attribute of “Hod” (Chet-vav-dalet), meaning “glory”, “splendor” and “majesty”. Offerings for the Tabernacle - Mishkan
  • 12. The Ark • Yahweh teaches the details of His mishkan starting from the inside out. The Ark is a reflection of His heart and how He dwells within us. • When our heart will reflect His Glory; but first His Glory must be placed inside the Ark
  • 13. The Ark • Two poles were to be permanently placed on the side of the ark symbolizing the portability of the Ark and representing the fact that we always need to be ready to move as the Spirit leads • (Two poles: Two trees/two witnesses/two houses Israel and Judah – all acting as one). Exodus 25:16 “And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.”
  • 14. A New Covenant? • Hebrews 8:8-10 “Behold, the days are coming, says Yahweh, when I will make a new covenant [a re-newed Marriage Covenant] with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah [united together they represent the whole House of Jacob/Israel and also called the House of David] - not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My [Marriage] Covenant, and I disregarded them, says Yahweh. For this is the Covenant that I will make with the [whole] house of Israel after those days, says Yahweh: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts [it will no longer be written on stone!]; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people [Bride]” (Jeremiah 31:31-33).
  • 15. A New Covenant? • The word new in Hebrew 8:8 does not mean brand new as the English translation indicates. New here is the Greek word kainos which means re-newed, Strong’s G2537. • Yahweh is saying He will renew His Marriage Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah. • It is the Covenant of Abraham that we enter into when we became born again. • The gift of salvation we receive (called the Promise), is in the Abrahamic Covenant. • The Abrahamic Covenant represents the entrance into the outer court that surrounds the tabernacle. Gal 3:8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:"All nations will be blessed through you." 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
  • 16. A New Covenant? • Building upon the promises that Yahweh gave Abraham, the next Covenant imparted to His Bride at Mt. Sinai is called the Mosaic Covenant. • This Covenant represents the activities of the outer court (the brazen altar and the laver). • The outer court is where the Bride learns how to prepare to enter the tabernacle. • The Mosaic Covenant contains Yahweh’s Kingdom morals, ethics, consciences, integrities, values, ideologies, doctrines, attitudes, beliefs, standards, and norms - laws of tabernacle/temple that are codified in the Ten Commandments.
  • 17. A New Covenant? • Learning Yahweh’s principles, nature and lifestyle through the outer court raises a believer’s walk in holiness and righteousness. This sanctification opens the way into the next Covenant called the Davidic Covenant. This Covenant resides inside the tabernacle where holiness resides. • The Davidic Covenant is in the order of Melchizedek. It is here believers are mindful of carrying out the duties of a priest in the tabernacle (Hebrews 12:14). 1 Peter 2:9-10 “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.”
  • 18. A New Covenant? • By Yahweh’s design, each Covenant reinforces and is built upon the one prior to it. • In approximately 324 AD, the emerging Christian Church decided that the teachings and instructions given to Moses at Mount Sinai were too Jewish and they were officially rejected. Harsh restrictions and even death was imposed upon anyone wishing to practice the biblical Mosaic lifestyle and Godly principles thus David’s tent (Covenant) fell. Davidic CovenantAbarahamic Covenant Mosaic Covenant
  • 19. A New Covenant? • Yeshua is looking for a Bride, one who is walking in His truth, serving in holiness (actions/lifestyle matching His Word/Marriage Covenant), for without holiness no one will see Him. Davidic CovenantAbarahamic Covenant Mosaic Covenant
  • 20. David’s Fallen Tent • Today, the Covenant that is being re-newed and re-stored is the restoration of the House of David (Davidic Covenant). • What the church calls the “New Testament” is really the re- newed Covenant of David. All the books in the “New Testament” are written is such a way as to restore David’s Covenant.
  • 21. David’s Fallen Tent Act 15:13-18 And after [hearing Paul’s testimony] they had become silent, James answered, saying, “Men and brethren, listen to me: Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people for His name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written: ‘After this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will set it up; so that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD/YHWH, even all the Gentiles [Nations] who are called by My name, says the LORD/YHWH who does all these things.’ Known to God from eternity are all His works.”
  • 22. David’s Fallen Tent • What was the last thing the disciples asked Yeshua after His resurrection and forty days on earth? Act 1:6 “they asked Him, saying, ‘Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?’ ” • The kingdom of Israel can only be restored through the Davidic Covenant. Yeshua’s disciples were asking Him - the son of David, “When was He [the King], going to restore David’s fallen tent, [His Kingdom]”? • a redemption revival happens when a repentant, returning, wayward Bride is choosing to walk in orderly tabernacle style being empowered by the Bridegroom’s principles that re-new the Mosaic and Davidic Covenants.
  • 23. David’s Fallen Tent • The whole re-newed covenant is written to the Bride - those desiring to walk in the order of Melchizedek. When believers walk in it, the prophesies in Amos 9:11 and Acts 15:15 will also be fulfilled – thus restoring David’s fallen tent - the Restoration of the House of David. Amos 9:11 “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old”
  • 24. The Ark of the Covenant – The Mercy Seat • An atonement cover called the mercy seat, which is a representation of Yeshua, is to cover the ark. This cover, including the cherubim is made from one piece of pure solid hammered gold and corresponds to the Abrahamic Covenant. In this Covenant our hearts are covered by Yeshua’s atonement. His blood sacrifice is a higher and more perfect offering than blood offered from animals and completes the need for a sin and guilt offering once and for all. This is why the atonement cover is over the Ark. The Mercy seat – The Atonement Cover Representing Spirit and Mercy The Abrahamic Covenant - Heaven The Ark Representing Truth and Law / Torah The heavenly principles that governs His Kingdome on earth The Mosaic Covenant - Earth
  • 25. The Ark of the Covenant – The Mercy Seat • When Spirit (Abrahamic Covenant) and Truth (Mosaic Covenant) come together - the Davidic Covenant is restored (re-newed). This is called the Restoration of the House of David/the Order of Melchizedek. • Two cherubim guard over the ark, representing the two witnesses of Yeshua’s testimony. Together they usher in the Messianic Era, which we are in today. The Mercy seat – The Atonement Cover Representing Spirit and Mercy The Abrahamic Covenant - Heaven The Ark Representing Truth and Law / Torah The heavenly principles that governs His Kingdome on earth The Mosaic Covenant - Earth
  • 26. The Ark of the Covenant – The Mercy Seat Hebrews 10:28-29 “Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?” The Mercy seat – The Atonement Cover Representing Spirit and Mercy The Abrahamic Covenant - Heaven The Ark Representing Truth and Law / Torah The heavenly principles that governs His Kingdome on earth The Mosaic Covenant - Earth
  • 27. The Ark of the Covenant – The Mercy Seat • Two people groups share Yeshua’s testimony today: the House of Israel and the House of Judah, which includes those who sojourn with them John 4:23-24 “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (1 John 5:6).

  • 28. The Table of Showbread • He is the sinless offering. This unleavened bread kept the Israelites alive, sustaining them for forty years in the desert. • Yeshua is the Torah, the Word - Yahweh’s teaching and instruction, made flesh. Moses was instructed to always keep the Word (their Marriage Covenant) before them. • There are to be twelve loaves of bread displayed on the table of showbread, one for each tribe. Together the tribes represent His Bride who is filled with His Presence. • This table was also to be made of acacia wood covered with pure gold with two carrying poles on either side for travel. • The Bread of the Presence was to be before Yahweh at all times. • This bread, as we learned from the previous study Beshalach represented the manna, the sinless Presence of His Flesh/Yeshua.
  • 29. The Table of Showbread John 6:53-58 Yeshua said to [His disciples], “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever”
  • 30. The Lampstand - Menorah Exodus 25:31-40 “Make a menorah of pure gold and hammer it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms shall be of one piece with it. Six branches are to extend from the sides of the menorah - three on one side and three on the other. Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the menorah. And on the menorah there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain”
  • 31. The Lampstand - Menorah • The menorah represents the Messiah of Israel. Yeshua said, “I am the light of the world” (Jo 8:12). • As the Bridegroom of Israel, He will light the path to reveal the way of the Bride • The menorah is also a symbol of the Bride’s mission. As the mishkan is to be made in the pattern given, when the Bride walks in Yeshua’s right ways she will reflect His Light to the nations (Isaiah 42:7). • It is said that pure gold is one of the easiest metals to work with. It can be beaten into a transparent gold foil over five hundred times thinner than a human hair. Thus Yahweh asked for the menorah to be fashioned and ornately decorated using one piece of pure gold.
  • 32. The Cups of the Menorah • The pattern of the menorah called for three decorative cups to be on each of the six branches extending from the lampstand. Only on the main shaft itself were there to be four cups. • The cups on the menorah remind the Bride of the cups she drank during the Marriage vows with her Bridegroom at His appointed feasts, vowing to be His faithful Bride. • The cups on the menorah and the branches were designed in the shape of open almond blossoms. The almond tree represents firstfruits and is the earliest tree to bloom after the winter in Israel. • Yeshua is the firstfruits from the dead and we are His firstfruits. We were dead outside of Yeshua. When He redeemed us and raised us from death to life, we became His firstfruits (Eze37:1-4)..
  • 33. The Cups of the Menorah • The almond blossom turns into fruit that contains edible seed called a nut. Almond in Hebrew is shaqad (Strong’s H8246) from the root verb (Strong’s H8245) meaning to diligently watch. Jeremiah 1:11-12 “The word of Yahweh came to me: ‘What do you see, Jeremiah?’ ‘I see the branch of an almond tree,’ I replied. Yahweh said to me, ‘You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.’” • The Bride is to diligently watch her ways (rightly walking in His instructions), as she eagerly awaits for her Bridegroom, Yeshua the Messiah’s/HaMashiach’s, return.
  • 34. The Cups of the Menorah Song of Solomon 2:10-12 “My lover spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.’”
  • 35. The Cups of the Menorah • The three cups on the six branches of the menorah are symbols, which represent the commandment for the Israelites (believers) to come before Yahweh at His appointed feasts three times a year to worship Him. • The first cup represents the cup of acceptance that the Bride will drink at the first Feast in the Spring at the Passover and the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread. • The second cup represents the cup of betrothal the Bride drinks at the second feast in late spring or early summer called the Feast of Shavuot, also called the Feast of Pentecost. • The third cup represents the cup the Bride will drink at the third feast in the fall at the Feast of Tabernacles (which is a name that incorporates all three Fall feasts). This will be the wedding (Yom Kippur/Atonement) and celebration cup at the Wedding supper of the Lamb (Sukkot/Tabernacles).
  • 36. The Cups of the Menorah • Only on the main shaft (also called The Branch) of the menorah is there a fourth cup. • The branch represents Yeshua, and the fourth cup represents the cup He drank on our behalf at His death called the cup of bitterness. • He took our cup in fulfillment of the Law of Jealousy regarding a wife suspected of being unfaithful to her husband. • Believers are the unfaithful Bride. In Yeshua’s faithfulness to His Bride and in fulfillment to the Covenant He made with her, He took our cup and drank our judgment and our death upon Himself. This is the cup of judgment that set us free and brought about our deliverance - thus our praise and thankfulness (Numbers 5:5-31; Luke 22:42)
  • 37. The Cups of the Menorah Exo 5:11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 "Speak to the Israelites and say to them:'If a man's wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder- offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.16 "'The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder- offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse.
  • 38. The Cups of the Menorah 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, "If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband"— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse —"may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.""'Then the woman is to say, "Amen. So be it."23 "'The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her.
  • 39. The Cups of the Menorah 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.
  • 40. The Buds and Blossoms of the Menorah • Yahweh’s pattern for the menorah also had buds and blossoms on both the main branch and on the six branches. • They were to be placed directly below the cups. • These buds and blossoms represent how believers will start to bear seed and glorify Yeshua bearing much fruit when they abide in His word. • A solid piece of gold, in the shape of a menorah, cannot stand on its own without some internal strength. • Yeshua has been tried. He is the Living testimony, the true menorah, the Light of the world. Only He can perfectly keep the Covenant. • His testimony is revealed in His Feasts. He will be faithful to fulfill all that He has promised and appointed concerning His heirs.
  • 41. Oil for the Menorah • The Temple of Yahweh now lives within the heart of the believer. • If believers do not know how to maintain the light of the menorah or preserve the bread of His Presence, how will the Bride know the timing of her wedding or be prepared to join her Bridegroom? • The menorah is the only light in the Holy Place. • Oil has been provided for the Bride’s journey to light her way but the oil can only be useful if the menorah has been maintained and the wicks are trimmed. • Without light the Bride is unable to see the Word (Bread of His Presence) and her path will be darkened. Maintaining the menorah will allow her to see clearly and find her way to her wedding
  • 42. Oil for the Menorah • Wicks were needed. They came from recycled worn white linen priestly garments, cut into strips and woven together. These fed the oil to the flame. • Without the priestly connection there would be no flame for the temple lamps. • Yeshua is our High Priest. Walking in His ways produces light in our lives. • The extra oil will be needed for the Bride to enter the Bridal Chamber when her Bridegroom returns • It’s harvested in abundance when she gathers at His pre- appointed times, rehearsals and Sabbaths Matthew 25:4 “The wise [virgins] took oil in their vessels with their lamps.”
  • 43. Model of the Menorah • There will always be two witnesses of the Messiah just are there are two trees patterned in the menorah, the almond tree (by the buds and blossoms) and the olive tree (by the olive oil used). • Also represented is the flax plant, from which the linen for the wick is produced.. (priestly garments) • Just as the almond tree is the earliest to bloom in spring in Israel, flax is one of the earlier plants harvested. • after the flax has flowered, a seed pod forms. The pod has separate cells that contain ten seeds of varying sizes and colors. These represent the ten lost tribes of Israel who are multicolored and still identifiable as part of Israel today hidden in Messiah.
  • 44. Model of the Menorah • Flax goes through a refining process of soaking, drying and beating. The long fibers that are woven and made into cloth are called linen. • Linen represents the righteous acts of the saints who have chosen to mirror their lifestyle after Yeshua and His ways. • All three plants produce oils that provide healing and health benefits. Isaiah 53:5 “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
  • 45. Model of the Menorah Revelation 11:3-4 “And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.” • The Two Houses of Israel, the House of Judah and the House of Israel, are the two witnesses of the Messiah. When they come together, one brings the Torah and the other the Messiah; when Torah (Kingly portion) and Messiah (Priestly portion) meet in the order of Melchizedek, oil will flow from the two olive trees and the Menorah will fill with oil and become a light to the Nations. This is the restoration of David’s fallen tent/covenant (Ezekiel 37:15-28).
  • 46. The Tabernacle - Mishkan • The curtains in the mishkan are embroidered with blue, purple and scarlet yarn and are woven together with a cherubim design. The blue represents the heavenly realms of Yeshua; the purple represents His royalty and the scarlet represents Yeshua’s precious shed blood, His death and resurrection.
  • 47. The Tabernacle - Mishkan • Yahweh communicated the proper placement of the furniture. • The ark with its atonement cover was the only furniture in the Holy of Holies. • A curtain was used to separate the Holy and Most Holy Places. • The table containing the bread of the Presence was placed on the north side of the Holy Place and the menorah was placed on the south side. Another curtain completed the mishkan.
  • 48. Altar of Burnt Offering • This altar was made of acacia wood covered with bronze to endure the heat of the altar. For believers this is the place where the Bride (believer) leaves any dishonoring natures behind to pursue holiness and righteous. • The walk of redemption first starts with surrendering all that would hinder one’s life and leaving it on the altar as an offering.
  • 49. Altar of Burnt Offering Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
  • 50. The Courtyard • Huge draped linen curtains were to define the large courtyard surrounding the tabernacle/mishkan. The linen represents the place where righteous acts are taught and a lifestyle of redemption is learned. Behind these curtains is where the character of the Bride/believer is formed. More impurities are revealed as the Bride approaches the tabernacle/mishkan. All unresolved issues of self- nature and dishonor dissolve during the redemptive process where the believer’s soul is transformed for His use.
