DIVINE PATTERN IN THE TORAH

This fantastic treasure we call the Bible is a library of mystery, miracles, and life-changing principles, communicated through multiple genres and a variety of literary techniques. Forty authors wrote 66 books, over 1,500 years of writing, while expounding on 7,000 years of human history, technology, and prophecy, yet supernaturally revealing only one central focus. What is the primary revelation of the Bible? When we read the words of this fascinating and awe-inspiring library of divine literature, we discover the Creator of the Universe, who desires to have an intimate relationship with all of His creation.

We believe that the first author out of 40 that God used to begin this journey of knowing him intimately was Moses, who wrote the Torah's five books, the first five books of our Bible. God revealed Himself through the Hebrew tongue, which is dynamic versus static and focused on function over form. For 40 years, Moses would communicate these dynamic words that he heard from God in the "cleft of the rock" on Mount Sinai. He was commanded to make everything according to the "pattern" that God had shown him. Even unique patterns in the Torah can reveal prophetic events that would take place in the future. Let me give you an example of one of the most fascinating patterns that God reveals about himself in the five books of Moses.

We will begin with the meaning of the word Torah. It's often translated as "law," while "instruction" is a better translation." The Law of Moses is actually the law or instruction of God, who wants to teach His sons and daughters how to draw close to Him. Yes, He did give this revelation to the nation of Israel, which has protected it for 3500 years, with the intent that they would be a "light to the nations" and prepare the world for the Coming Messiah. It was through the Torah that Moses that gave Israel where the disciples of Jesus discovered who He really was. Philip told Nathaniel, "We have found the one who Moses in the law and also in the prophets wrote about" (John 1:45).

Torah has only four letters in Hebrew, considered consonants, written from right to left: Tav ת, Vav ו, Reish ר, Heh ה. The letter Vav ו, normally transliterated as a "v," is used as a vowel by placing a dot on top to represent the "o" vowel. So the Hebrew letters for the word "Torah" would be spelled with four letters transliterated as T-O-R-H.

Genesis - First Book of the Torah

If you start with the word "Bereshit," translated "In the beginning...", in Genesis 1:1, you will find the first of the four letters for Torah: Tav ת. Count 49 letters, and you will discover the second letter Vav ו. Again, count 49 letters to the third letter Resh ר, and finally, count 49 letters to the fourth letter, Heh ה. What does that spell? Torah, תֹּורָה.

Exodus - Second Book of the Torah

Now we will go to Exodus 1:1, and look for the letter Tav ת again, which we find as the last letter of "Sh'mot," translated as "names." Now count 49 letters to the letter Vav ו, another 49 letters to the letter Resh ר, count 49 letters to Heh ה again, and of course, we read the word Torah, תֹּורָה.

Leviticus - Third Book of the Torah

The pattern we see in these first two books of the Torah point toward Leviticus, which has its own unique message. Instead of reading the word "Torah" תֹּורָה with intervals of 49 letters, we discover the name of God with intervals of seven letters in between. What is the name of God? While God seems to have many "names" describing what He has done or who He will reveal Himself to be throughout Scripture, there is only one self-revealed name that He gives humanity that perfectly describes His divine essence and eternal nature. This sacred name for our Creator comes from a verb of existence (hayah היה - "was"), which means 'He who always was, is or exists presently, and will always be or exist in the future." This dynamic verb of action also speaks of our Creator who brings all things into existence, and is spelled with four letters in Hebrew: יְהוָה : Yud י, Heh ה, Vav ו, Heh ה [YHVH].

Numbers - Fourth Book of the Torah

Beginning in Numbers 1:1, the pattern is in a reverse order: ת,ו,ר,ה instead of ה,ר,ו,ת. So we discover the last letter of the word "Torah," Heh ה, count 49 letters to Resh ר, count 49 letters to Vav ו, and another 49 letters to the first letter Tav ת. We now read Torah תֹּורָה backward, as if it points back to Leviticus.

Deuteronomy - Fifth Book of the Torah

We discover the same phenomenon in Deuteronomy 1:5, where the pattern is in a reverse order: ת,ו,ר,ה instead of ה,ר,ו,ת. This time, instead of counting 49 letters, in this last book of the Torah, we must count 48. The starting letter Heh ה is found in front of the word Torah, or "law" (HaTorah), as a prefix for "the" in the phrase, "Moses began to explain this (or "the") law." Now we begin by counting 48 letters from Heh ה to the third letter Resh ר, then 48 letters to the second letter Vav ו, and then 48 letters to the first letter Tav ת. Again, we now read Torah תֹּורָה backwards, pointing back to Leviticus which we learned has the pattern of counting seven letters instead of 49, or 48, to spell the sacred name of God, YHWH or YHVH יְהוָה : Yud י, Heh ה, Vav ו, Heh ה.

YHWH

Tetragrammaton – The Ineffable Four-Lettered Name of God. Tetragrammaton (from Greek tetragrammaton, meaning "four letters") refers to the Hebrew theonym (transliterated to the Latin letters YHWH, or YHVH; "Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh" יְהוָה] are the letters in Hebrew. It is derived from the verb that means "to be" or "exist" and is considered in Judaism to be the proper name of the God of Israel used in the Hebrew Bible. While YHWH is the usual transliteration of the Tetragrammaton in English academic studies, the alternatives YHVH, JHVH, and JHWH are also used. The most widely accepted guesstimation of the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) is "Yahweh," though "Jehovah" is used in many Bibles but in few modern ones. Neither forms are exact. As religiously observant Jews are forbidden to say or write the Tetragrammaton in full, when reading the Torah, they use the term Adonai [Lord or Master], or HaShem [“The Name”]. Even though most Christians feel no prohibition on vocalizing the Tetragrammaton, in most Christian translations of the Bible, "LORD" is used in place of the Tetragrammaton, after the Hebrew word Adonai, and is often written with small capitals (or in all caps) to distinguish it from other words translated as "Lord."

You might be asking, "What is the significance of all of this?" This unique Bible code or equal letter distance that we discover intervals of either 50 letters or 49 all point to the middle book of sacrifice, Leviticus. This priestly Manuel of worship teaches us the importance of atonement and the blood of a sacrificial animal being used on behalf of Israel to draw them close to God. The sacrifices in the system had no power to save. Honestly, they were never intended to save the Israelites spiritually, but more importantly, to instruct them. All the "types and shadows," peculiar patterns, and detailed commandments were teaching tools to reveal the closeness of God and the intimacy we can experience as His children.

The Significance of This Discovery:

The Torah, whether reading from Genesis and Exodus or backwards from Numbers and Deuteronomy, points us toward the need for the LORD's sacrifice as an atonement of our souls (Leviticus 17:11). In fact, the middle words of the book of Leviticus, which is the middle of the Torah, also reveal a Bible code, found in Leviticus 10:16, Where Moses was searching for the sin offering. It says in Hebrew, "Darosh, Darash" דָּרֹשׁ דָּרַשׁ or "in searching, he searched." We must keep searching diligently to discover the ultimate sacrifice of the Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the world. Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew), our Anointed Messiah, is the Lamb of God who took away the world's sin through His atonement. He is the Word of God, "divine Logos," or "living Torah," who became flesh and dwelt (or "tabernacled") among us, and we beheld His "Shekhinah glory," the very glory of the Father in heaven. He became our salvation because He was willing to become the LORD's [YHVH] sacrifice.

Shalom In Messiah,

Rabbi Brian Baruch Bileci

Good afternoon! Tonight is the Passover. Ancient Israel sacrificed lambs, but that changed and Christ became our Passover lamb. Christ died for our sins. He died for you and me. Please take some time to really think on that. He died so we could be apart of the God family with Him as our older Brother and God as our Father. Christ died so that we could be forgiven of our sins when we truly repent and turn towards God with our whole heart! Christ loves you so much that He was willing to sacrifice Himself, and God loves the world so much that He would sacrifice His only begotten Son. Take time today to really think about all of this! Remember that God is with you where ever you go, even to the ends of the earth. God wants to have a strong and loving relationship with you! #passover #passoverlamb #lamb #Christ #christian #God #scripture #Bible #foodforthought #meditate #sacrifice #reconciliation #maderight #repent #turntoGod #thinkonthesethings #john1513 #encouragement #heart #love #greaterlove #friends #sin https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5BJ5nJSmF/?igshid=q65g5y6mi43z

The Passover Blood at this time is the blood of YESHUA that we partake in the Communion Elements of Bread and Wine. If you want the "CORONA" which is actually the Angel of Death in Revelations 6:8 to passover you, please take the communion elements of HIS Body represented by the Bread and drink HIS Blood represented by the Wine/Juice and read 1 Corinthians 11:23-32!!! And if you are wondering why I am wearing a head scarf/veil/covering, Please read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 11 starting verse 1 because explains why I am covering myself with it. I love you Saints!!!! Dedicated to all GOD's children inside the Catholic Religion, the LORD YESHUA loves you so much!!!

Unlike so many people I know I usually don’t make brisket for Seder dinner. For us it’s usually turkey and sometimes another main dish. Could be brisket. Could be lamb. Like this dish: lamb shank with dried fruit. I wrote about it for @jwfoodnwine his week. Click for the recipe. Tender, full of flavor, festive looking too. So right for Passover #lambshank #lambshanks #braisedlambshank #passoverlamb #pesachlamb #passover #passover2019 #pesach #pesach2019 #seder #sederdinner #seder2019 #easterlamb #lamb #welovelamb https://jwfoodandwine.com/article/2019/04/09/leg-passover https://www.instagram.com/p/BwH2VVAnJl3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=otedm62l2j9n

Preparing for Passover at Sundown tonight. The Passover feast commemorates the exodus from Egypt and it anticipates and celebrates future Messianic redemption and fulfillment. Passover is an important time to observe the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. That night in Egypt, the Angel of Death was to smite the firstborn. God commanded the people to take a lamb and apply the blood on the doorposts of their homes to be a sign for the Angel of Death to “passover” the house. My Pastor has been ministering about applying the blood on the doorposts of our homes as a means of protection. Passover is a special season, so I have tied red ribbon to symbolize the blood of Jesus, our Passover Lamb being applied to my home and family. “…When I see the blood, I will pass over you” (Exodus 12:13 NASB). #wolccpassover #Christ #PassoverLamb #Lent #Passover #Holyweek #OldTestament #NewTestament #prophecyfulfilled #biblestudy ##Bibleteacher #pipergreenwriter #piperspen https://www.instagram.com/p/B-uu-aYDU9d/?igshid=19ywyg9ji8p32

Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb who was sacrificed for us! #repost @christaloubser32 ・・・ Just like the Passover lamb's blood over Israel's door, Jesus blood has washed over us telling the Father to pass over us in His wrath! #passover When you trust in Jesus it means the difference between life and death. #jesussaves Concerning the qualifications for Heaven, we are all very disqualified. This is why we must know the one and only Qualifier- JESUS! #lambofgod Jesus is the Passover lamb, slain for our sins. His precious blood is on the door-frames of our hearts. #passoverlamb The blood of the lamb upon the doorposts and lintels brought salvation to the individuals in that household as the death angel passed over that home. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🔥 Follow my IG/Twitter/Snap 👉🏾@troubledontlast👈🏾 for more 🔥 Turn On Post Notification Like/Comment/Share/Save Comment what you think is missing . .

I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you.

Good afternoon! I hope your week is going well! New blog post on the website, link is in the bio. Talking about the Passover tonight. Christ is our passover lamb, He died for us so we could have eternal life. That is what I’m thinking about today on tranquility Tuesday. Thinking about my life, my sins, my weaknesses, and my strengths. I’m thinking about who I am, who I was in the past, and who I want to be in the future. Take time to think about Christ’s sacrifice for you. We have so much free time being in isolation right now because of the the virus. This is a difficult time, but this too shall pass! Stay positive and put on the mind of Christ. #tranquilitytuesday #affirmationscoffee #tranquility #Tuesday #solemn #passover #christ #christian #sacrifice #passoverlamb #God #wine #unleavenedbread #entrepreneur #startup #smallbusiness #blog #blogger #writer #affirmations #affirmation #dailyaffirmation #dailyaffirmations #lifecoach #financialcoach #selfexamination #thoughts #thinking #holydays #bible https://www.instagram.com/p/B-sQHzPJEHY/?igshid=tm21vy985qaq
