We have been looking at the Tabernacle for two consecutive weeks, and in this
Torah Portion, we will cover the final parts of the Tabernacle. When YHVH
dwells in something, whether it is in His Creation or any person, He always
does it in the way of the Tabernacle Pattern, relating to all the aspects and
symbolism of the Tabernacle. We also looked at the Menorah Pattern;
whenever YHVH gives Light or reveals a Truth, He always does it in a balanced
way, about the Menorah Pattern. The Menorah has a centre Branch with a left
and a right side, whenever you have an unbalanced Menorah, having more
branches on the left or right, the Menorah will fall over. That is why YHVH
always establishes Truth with two or more witnesses that keep the balance and
confirms its validity. This week we will study the Half-Shekel pattern that can
be used to join things together, especially physical and spiritual things.

Exo 30:12 When you take the sum of the children of Israel according to
their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto
YHVH when you number them, that there be no plague among them
when you number them.

This Torah Portion starts with this passage and gets its name from the phrase;
take the sum of the children of Israel, that comes from the Hebrew phrase Ki
Tissa et Rosh or lift up the heads.

1
Lift up your Heads
Q What does it mean to Lift up the heads of the Children of Israel?
To lift up the heads means to appoint or to anoint and that is the main topic
or theme of this Torah Portion. In the previous Torah Portions we have looked
at the Adoption as a son becoming a Bondservant, then we looked at the son
entering the House of His Master / Father which is the Tabernacle. Last week
we looked at bringing light into the Tabernacle, making it a Tent of Dwelling
where YHVH dwelled with man. This week we will bring the Priests into the
Tabernacle and become a Priest you need the Anointing of YHVH.
Lift up your heads is also connected to the Census or counting of YHVHs
people. What is interesting is that the heads are not counted but the
contributions are counted. The people in the Kingdom belongs to YHVH, and it
is rude if you count someone that does not belong to you. For example, do you
think a farmer will approve if you come in and count his livestock? In the same
way you should not count YHVHs people.
The right way is to count is through the contributions of the people and not the
heads. The contributions were in the form of half a Shekel and was for the
redemption of the soul of the person who brought it.

Sheqel lqc comes from the root word shaqal that means to weigh, to be
weighed and to grief. YHVH used this measure of giving or contributing as a
measure of the people, and only those who gave are counted in His eyes. If you
are part of the Congregation and you only take and do not contribute, then you
grief YHVH.
Shekel has a numerical value of 430. [Shin = 300, Qof = 100, Lamed =30] We
read in Exo 30:12 that the half shekel is for his soul that is the Hebrew word
Nephesh is Nun-Hey-Shin that equals 430 as well. Half of Shekel is used to
cover or kippur mans soul.
Q - Why half a shekel?
The Sages teaches that this indicates that no one is complete without his
brothers shekel, indicating unity amongst the people. The other way to make
the shekel complete is to add a half of a spiritual shekel to the half of the
physical shekel to make it one shekel. You provide the physical shekel and
YHVH provides the spiritual shekel, indicating that he will take a step when you
take a step towards Him. James 4:8 says that He will draw near to you if you
draw near to Him. We find an example of this in Matt 17 where Peter and
Yshua were asked to each pay a half Shekel each for their contribution,
described in this Torah Portion.
Matt 17:24 And when they came to Capernaum, they that received
tribute money came to Peter, and said, Does not your master
pay tribute?
It talks about collecting a tribute, and they asked if Peter and
Yshua gave their tribute or offerings. Yshua told them to go
fishing, and the tribute or offering will be a shekel in the mouth of
the fish, covering both their contributions.

2
The Shekel Pattern: This reveals to us a spiritual truth in the Shekel Pattern
that is a similar tool as the Menorah Pattern and Tabernacle Pattern. The
Shekel Pattern is the idea of you giving half and YHVH giving the other half and
doing this makes you one or Echad with Him. The oneness with YHVH or
becoming one with Him is a deep spiritual concept that can be hard to
understand, but the Shekel Pattern reveals to us, and that is unity is through
giving.
Last week we saw that YHVH hides Himself, specifically during the time of the
construction of the Tabernacle and He will start to reveal Himself as soon as the
Tabernacle is complete and ready to move into. The giving of the half-Shekel
is the first step towards YHVH, where He will take a step towards you, thus
beginning to reveal Himself to you. The ultimate revelation of YHVH in your life
is when you are One or Echad with Him, and that is what the Shekel pattern is
all about. We just need to find out what it means to gibe half a Shekel, is it
giving money or is it something else?
The context of Matt 17 is all about faith, having faith like a mustard seed and the
moving of mountains through faith. Then the question about Temple tax pops
up, linking it to this Torah Portion and then going to the faith theme again where
Yshua told Peter to go and fish to pay the tax.
Q What is all of this about and what can we learn from this?
We have seen that the Shekel is for YHVHs Covering (Spiritual) and the other
half is from mans covering (Physical). When you combine the two half Shekels
to make one Shekel, it reveals the combining of the Spiritual and the Physical
within our lives. This means that it takes faith to contribute to YHVHs Work
and it takes faith to see YHVH revealed in your life. Faith is the means of
taking the first step, then that prompts YHVH to take the next step, moving us
closer together that will lead to becoming ones. This is what the Shekel Pattern
is all about; it is taking steps of faith as you face challenges in your life, then
YHVH move in closer to you within that situation
The contribution to His House should be made out of faith and not out of your
abundance. You should give from your lack and not from the fact that you
have plenty. This is confirmed in the passage where the widow gave more that
the other person because she gave from her lack, and that is giving out of faith.
You provide half a shekel in order to build a Tabernacle for Him to indwell and
He provides the Plan and wisdom on how to construct it in your life so that you
can be part of the bigger picture within the Body of Messiah, the Tabernacle of
YHVH on a larger scale where you minister unto Him.
Example: Whenever you are in a situation, YHVH
expects of us to take the first step and then He will take
the next step to connect your half with His plan to give
the outcome. In relation to the Book of Matthew, it is
when you are in a situation, and you take the first step
in faith, then you take your fishing rod, sit patiently
until YHVH provides the spiritual half to complete the
Shekel to bring the outcome. If you do not take the
first step or wait patiently in faith, then you grieve
YHVH (other meaning of Shekel). You cannot please
Him without faith.

Ministering unto YHVH
Last week we saw the link between the Outer Court and the Golden Altar of
Incense linked by the Priesthood. This weeks Portion discusses the Laver that
is connected to the Golden Altar of Incense via the shekel. The Laver was not
for the people in the outer court but for the Priests to cleanse themselves with
water before entered the Holy Place so that they could access the Golden Altar.
The shekel was in the mouth of a fish (water), linking the act of giving as the
next step of becoming a Priest who will serve YHVH within the Tabernacle.
Exo 30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they
shall wash with water, that they die not. Or when they come near to the
altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto YHVH,
The Priests had to wash before approaching the Alar to minister to YHVH. They
had to wash their hands and their feet. If they did not wash, then they died
(plague). Is that what happened with Aarons sons when they brought an
offering to YHVH, but they did not wash before ministering to YHVH and was
killed in the process? Is this what happened in Acts 5:1-11 where Ananias and
Sapphira died because of the contribution they did not give out of faith when
they brought their shekel and received the plague spoken of here?
Personal Application: It is serious when you minister to
YHVH and you refuse to cleanse yourself before you start
ministering. We did make the connection with the Laver,
representing Baptism, which is half of the cleansing process; the
other half is the Spiritual Washing or cleansing that must take
place before you minister unto YHVH. What this simply means is
that if you want to minister unto YHVH in His Tabernacle or the
Body of Messiah, you have to be physically Baptised as well as
Spiritually Baptised (filled with the Spirit of YHVH / Anointed) to
be Appointed to become part of His Priesthood. The Baptism of
the Spirit is an event that generally takes place at your Mikvah
(baptism) with the laying on of hands and prayer. This is when
you commit to being immersed in His Word and use the Water of
the Word to cleanse yourself so that you can be equipped and cleansed from
the confusion that only leads to false doctrines and sin. Again we see the
theme of the full shekel coming together, made up by two half shekels, the
Physical and the Spiritual Baptisms, bringing you closer and eventually making
you One or Echad with Him.
The Priests had to wash their hands and their feet. Your hands are connected
to the things you do, and your feet has to do with your willingness to go where
He sends you. You should be cleansed from doing things that are not of Him,
and you should be cleansed from your own will regarding your life, where you
should go. YHVH is the director of your life, and He will reveal His Will to you
regarding where He want to use you in His Kingdom so that you can minister to
Him. For you to minister, your hands need to be clean as well, and this is
through the washing of the water of the Word, doing His Commandments.
Applying His Word in your life makes your hands clean and your actions pure
before Him. We see the two half Shekels again; He gives half revealing His
Word and Will to you, your half doing His Commandments and walking in His
Will.

The Anointing Oil
Exo 30:23-25 Take also unto you principal spices: of pure myrrh
five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half as
much (even two hundred and fifty shekels), and of sweet
calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, 24 and of cassia
five hundred shekels, according to the shekel of the
sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin. 25 And thou shalt make
from it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound
according to the art of the perfumer; it shall be a holy
anointing oil.
The same measure makes the Anointing oil as the counting of the people, and
that is the Shekel. We have seen that the word Shekel means, to weigh and is
a unit of measure. In the previous section, we have discussed how the Shekel
relates to YHVH, revealing Himself to you as well as connecting it to the laver
where we are cleansed to go into ministry as His Priesthood, progressing
from only being saved people to becoming His Royal Priesthood. The term Ki
Tissa et Rosh or lift up the heads is not only the name of the Torah Portion
but also means the appointing or lifting up of the person from just being a
believer in Messiah to becoming a Priest that can minister to the Body of
Messiah. For this to take place, we need a special anointing, and that is through
the Baptism of the Spirit as we have seen in the meaning of the Laver. This
following section is about the preparation of the Anointing Oil is a picture of
what the Baptism of the Spirit and we will look at it from a spiritual level. The
Anointing oil consists of the following ingredients:
Myrrh 500. Comes from the root word marar that means; to be bitter,
to enrage and to be strong. First found in Gen 49:23 Blessing of
Joseph where the archers grieved him slander.
Cinnamon 250. Comes from unused root that means to erect
Calamus 250. Comes from the root word qanah that means; to to
possess, to buy, to acquire, to be bought. First found in Gen 14:18-19 -
Abrams encounter with Melchizedek where he blessed Abraham in the
Name of YHVH, the possessor of Heaven and Earth.
Cassia 500. Comes from the root word qadad that means, to bow
down. First found in Gen 24:26 where Abimelech found a Bride for Isaac
and he bowed his head and worshipped YHVH.
We see the following hidden meanings within each of the ingredients of the
Anointing Oil:
Myrrh Prophetic picture of the one of the two Sticks, Ephraim (Joseph)
working from the Christian side of the wall Gathering people for the
Kingdom from the Nations and getting slander from his brothers,
especially Judah.
Cinnamon This is in the context of building the Tabernacle and to
erect it within YHVHs Anointed people known as the Body of Messiah.
Calamus This reveals us as YHVHs Royal Priesthood according to
the order of Melchizedek, we are bought with a price and are His
possession and blessed by the Most High to fulfil this task as Anointed
people. The

5
 Cassia This reveals the Holy Spirit of YHVH (Abimelech) searching
and gathering the Bride of Messiah so that she can submit under He
Husband (bow her head and worship YHVH).

Every one of these aspects within our faith needs the Anointing Oil of YHVH
through His Spirit indwelling us. These are; Believers on the forefront bringing
people into the Kingdom through the Gospel Message. Then they become part
of the Body of Messiah through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are supporting and
maintaining the Body. Then you can be chosen by YHVH and Anointed to fulfil a
Priestly Role serving the People as the Priesthood. Lastly, you can become
part of His Bride if you submit under His Word and Authority and allow Him to
purify you so that you may be presented before the King.
All four of these stages needs the Anointing Oil, and every one of them is
phases people go through when they start their walk with YHVH. You first start
as a Believer in Messiah; then you become Part of the Body where you learn to
live and function in unity. After that you become part of the Priesthood as you
grow up spiritually and through the Anointing of YHVHs Spirit being used by
Him to serve the Body. Finally, you reach maturity and is in the process of
purification to prepare as the Bride of Messiah, growing closer to Him in an
intimate, loving relationship.

Anointing of the Spirit

Exo 31:15 And YHVH spoke unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by
name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I
have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim, in wisdom and in understanding
and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship, 4 to devise skillful
works: to work in gold and in silver and in brass, 5 and in cutting of
stones to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of
workmanship.
This is one of the best examples where YHVH anointed someone with His Spirit
to fulfil a function within the Tabernacle or Body of Yshua. The first time we
saw someone receiving an anointing was in when Abram and Sarai where each
of them received a Hey into their names. The letter Hey represents the Light
or Revelation of YHVH and is also the sound of breath that is also known as
Ruach in Hebrew, related to YHVHs Ruach HaKodesh or Holy Spirit.

Hebrew Study Tip

Every Hebrew name has a meaning and a root word that takes you to
the verb where that word comes from. The reason we look at the root
words is that Hebrew is an action language and every word has a
verb that tells you its true meaning. If you then look at the place where
it is first found in Scripture, you will get a story that uses that word
and that story will reveal its true meaning. This is the way the Torah
is used as a Dictionary to look up meanings of words contained
within all the stories.

When we look at a persons name it tells us something of his character

and destiny, even the name of his father or mother can be used to colour

6
 in more detail regarding his character. We will use this technique to study
the name Besaleel.
Bezaleel means, shadow of el. His name comes from two words al lu that
means, shadow and el la that means God. Shadow is found in Psalm 91
where it talks about being in the shadow of the Almighty.
Uri means fiery that comes from the root word ore that means fire or light.
This word is found in Isa 24:15 where you will glorify YHVH in the fires and the
context of the fires are about the judgment of the Earth in the end times. This
matches the meaning of the letter Hey, that is linked to YHVHs Spirit. Hur
means white and hole. Hole is first found in Scripture in Isa 11:8 where the
context is in relation to the passage we have already looked at in Isa 11:2
explaining the Seven Steps the Spirit of YHVH takes you through to bring you
into a closer relationship with Him. The rest of Isa 11 talks about the time YHVH
will set His hand a Second Time into the earth to gather His people and this is
linked to the End Times as well. This is the time where YHVH will pour out His
Spirit on all flesh prior to His Coming.
Spiritual Application: Putting all the meanings of the names together will tell
us more about the Anointing of YHVHs Spirit, especially those living in the End
Times. From these names we derived the following thoughts that will elaborate
on what it means to be Anointed by the Spirit of YHVH:
Shadow of the Almighty - The protection of YHVH as well as sitting under
His Word or Commandments. This is one of the attributes of YHVHs
Anointing; to teach His Ways that will guide and protect anyone sitting
under His Authority. YHVHs Spirit will reveal His Word to you so that you
will understand it in order to walk in it. This is His protection to us living in
the last days.
Fiery or Fires YHVHs Spirit is dangerous as seen in the example of the
Strange Fire where Aarons sons died. The context of this word relates to
the Judgment of YHVH, specifically to those who received the Anointing.
They should not to use it the wrong way because you can get burned.
Everything you do under the Anointing must Glorify YHVH at all times.
White, Hole White is the colour of His Righteousness, and the Seven
Steps His Spirit will take you through is to make you Righteous; making
your garments or actions white and secondly, to keep your garment from
defilement, helping you to walk in Holiness, keeping it white. The Anointing
of YHVH is to make you Righteous and Holy that will prepare you as the
Bride so that He can come and Gather you for the Marriage Feast.
All these names gave us insight on what it means to have the Anointing of
YHVH and what its purpose is. In the context of Exodus, we see that the
Anointing is to fulfil a specific purpose in the building of the Tabernacle and
this is similar to the building of the Body of Messiah. Each one of us who
follow Yshua will go through the process of receiving His Spirit so that we can
be equipped to fulfil a specific function in the Body to serve and build up the
Body of Messiah. These are known as the Gifts of the Spirit; Prophesy, Serving,
Teaching, Exhortation, Giving, Leadership, Mercy, Word of Wisdom, Word of
Knowledge, Faith, Gifts of Healings & Miracles, Distinguishing between spirits,
Tongues & Interpretation of tongues.
With these Gifts comes responsibly through what we have just studied in the
meaning of Bezaleel, Uri and Hur; know and submit to YHVHs Word, be careful

7
what you do with His Anointing, this is a warning so that you will not get burnt
and lastly, His Anointing is there to make you white and keep you white so that
you can be prepared as His Bride and be ready for His Coming. This will ensure
that you will have a lamp with oil in your Tabernacle, ready to be gathered for
the Marriage Feast.

The Golden Calf

Exo 32:1-3 And when the people saw that
Moses delayed to come down out of the mount,
the people gathered themselves together unto
Aaron and said unto him, Arise, make us gods
which shall go before us; for as for this Moses,
the man who brought us up out of the land of
Egypt, we know not what has become of him.
2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the

golden earrings which are in the ears of your

wives, of your sons and of your daughters, and
bring them unto me. 3 And all the people broke off the golden earrings
which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received
them from their hand, and fashioned it with an engraving tool after he
had made it a molten calf; and they said, These are your gods, O Israel,
which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt! 5 And when Aaron saw
it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation and said,
Tomorrow is a feast to YHVH.
While Moses was up on the mountain receiving YHVHs laws, the people were
getting anxious down on the plain. Moses spent forty days (Exodus 24:18) up
on the mountain with YHVH, and by the end of that time, the people were
beginning to think Moses had died or left them. The people urged Aaron, their
temporary leader, to make gods for them to follow. Since they were accustomed
to having visual representations of gods, this was the natural (but sinful) result
of their thinking. Aaron took their gold earrings, which they had brought from
Egypt, and melted them down to make a golden idol. The idol he crafted for
them was a calf, but Aaron maintained the name of YHVH in connection with it.
He was merging the pagan practices they were familiar with and the worship of
the God they were just beginning to be re-acquainted with. Aaron called the
people together and told them that the golden calf was YHVH who delivered
them from Egypt. The people offered sacrifices and then engaged in pagan
rituals, including orgies (Exodus 32:25) to worship this new god.
What is ironic was that they had heard the Ten Commandments of which the
second Commandment forbid them to make images of anything YHVH created,
bow down and worship them. Secondly. Aaron, who was the High Priest, who
listened to the people instead of YHVH.
Spiritual Application 1: Aaron represents all spiritual leaders, and this is a
problem in the body of Messiah today; the Pastors / Teachers in churches
rather listen to the people than to YHVH or His Word. The current trend is
Seeker Sensitive Churches where the Leaders in the Church ask the people
what they want to see and experience in the church.

8
Then they structure their church service model
according to the peoples recommendations to
accommodate the people. Many Mega Churches are
built and maintained in this model. The aim of this
type of Church is to make people feel more at home
and that anybody is welcome. They have spiritual
motivational messages with no mention of sin and
repentance. Their messages always contain an
element of blessing, and you will benefit from becoming a Believer to get what
is rightfully yours as a child of the King. About what we have learned previously,
we see that these people are trained and conditioned to become Borrowers,
where they take form YHVH as much as they can without giving anything in
return becoming part of a Bless Me Club.
Spiritual Application 2: The next lesson we learn from this section is that the
people wanted something tangible instead of
following an invisible God Who hides Himself.
They were familiar with the gods of Egypt and
used those images. They wanted Aaron to make
them an image of YHVH that looks like one of the
Egyptian gods they were accustomed with. We
do the same today; we take things of this world
and dress Him up so that He looks just like the
world. From this we create Jesus that wears
jeans, hang with cool people and are
everybodys mate. YHVH is a father figure that
you can just go to, jump on His lap and kiss Him
on His cheek. Where is the image of YHVH that is found in His Word where He
is the Holy Almighty God with the 24 Elders before Him who worships Him with
fear, respect and reverence? Where is the true image of Yshua, the Son of
YHVH that looks right into the deepest parts of your soul with His flaming eyes,
where His words cut through you like a sword? We have created images of
YHVH and Yshua that is not Biblical and that waters down our faith to a mere
spiritual club having Yshua as a cool dude that is my best pal.
Personal Application: We treat the Commandments of YHVH just like the
people did back when they worshipped the
Golden Calf, we tend to take it not as serious
as intended and become impatient when
YHVH delay in answering or bringing an
outcome. Then we take things in our own
hands and make it work according to our
limited knowledge, ignoring YHVHs Word or
Commandments. YHVH tests us through
delaying, and our impatience causes us to
stumble by reverting to our old ways. It is very important to stay focused on
YHVH and go back to His Word so that you can be spiritually strong, enduring
till you receive the answer or outcome. When YHVH reveals a new Truth, He
will test you to engrain it into your life so that you will default to this Truth
when a challenge arises.

Breaking the Commandments
Exo 32:19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp,
that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses anger waxed hot, and he
cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them beneath the mount.

When Moses came down and saw what the Children of Israel are doing the
wrong thing, he became very angry and cast down the Two Tablets of stone at
the foot of the mountain. The broken tablets represented the breaking of the
Commandments. Moses then commanded the Levites to kill all the people who
were involved in this act of idol worship, and about 3000 people died that day.

Exo 32:31-33 And Moses returned unto YHVH and said, Oh, this
people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
32 Yet now, if You will forgive their sin and if not, blot me, I pray You,

out of Your book which You has written! 33 And YHVH said unto Moses,
Whosoever has sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.

Moses interceded for the people who have sinned and offered his salvation or
eternal life in exchange for their condemnation so that they might enter the
Kingdom. Moses reminded YHVH of His Covenant with Abraham and YHVH
repented from His anger and thoughts to destroy Israel. (Exo 32:10 - 14).
Yshua the Savior: This is why Yshua is called a Prophet like Moses
because what Moses did here is exactly what Yshua did for humanity; He took
their sin upon Himself so that we might live. Just like Moses, He is our Advocate
Who pleads and intercedes before the Father. It was because of the Covenant
YHVH made with Abraham that we are saved and not wiped out because of
our sin. It was YHVHs love that worked through Moses that caused him to lay
down his own life for the people. The verse that says, love cast out fear
becomes alive when you think about the situation of Moses facing YHVH in a
time when He was very angry with the people of Israel. Moses love for the
people made him face and plead before YHVH the Almighty in a time that will
cause you to shiver. In the same way, we know that Yshua is pleading for us
before the Father.
Yshua the Judge: A lot of people get the wrong perception of the Father, the
God of the Old Testament Who is always angry vs. Jesus / Yshua the God of
the New Testament Who is loving and kind. They think that the Son replaced
the Father and that this is a New Dispensation. This is not true because it if
Yshua that will be the Judge at the end of time (James 5:9), not the Father, and
Yshua will be the angry God Who will destroy those who rejected His Blood
and Life He offered as well as rejected His Covenant He made with Abraham,
as well as those of His Children who trampled on His blood, sinning repeatable
because of Grace (Heb 10:29) and those Who refused His Commandments
who lived lawless who never knew Him (Matt 7:21-23).
Exo 34:1-2 And YHVH said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were
in the first tables, which you broke. 2 And be ready in the morning, and
come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present yourself there to
Me in the top of the mount.

10
Moses went back up the Mountain for the second time and had to prepare two
tablets so that YHVH could write the Commandments again. Right after He
wrote the Commandments, YHVH revealed Himself to Moses after hiding
Moses in a rock because he asked YHVH to show him His Glory. YHVH
revealed nine attributes of Himself to Moses:
Exo 34:5-7 And YHVH descended in the cloud, and stood with him
there, and proclaimed the Name of YHVH. 6 And YHVH passed by before
him, and proclaimed, YHVH, YHVH Elohim, merciful and gracious,
longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 keeping
mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and
sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the
iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the childrens
children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
All these attributes are of a loving Father who planned to send His only Son to
die so that we can live, even if we do not deserve it. We find seven positive
attributes or attributes of blessing and two attributes of discipline. This means
that the Father is more loving and kind and gracious than the skewed picture of
an angry God who just wants to smite sinners. All these attributes are portrayed
by Yshua; firstly He expressed the seven positive attributes as the Savior and
secondly, He will express the last two attributes as the Judge. This shows that
the Father and the Son are truly One (Echad).

Prophetic Application: Moses went up the Mountain for 40 days, then he

came down again, broke the Tablets as a sign of Israel breaking the
Commandments. After that He went back up gain to renew the Commandments
to present it to the people for the second time. This is a picture of Yshuas First

Coming.
