Bêyn Betwixt – part 2

The 7 sons of Sceva counterfeit – 33 degree mason…

We get to learn how to draw close to יהוה by being in the Malki Tzedik and that’s why Paul emphasized our journeying back to Abraham. To journey back is: Lech Lecha – Lamed, Kof, Lamed, Kof. Means Go for yourself or Go alone!

When we journey like Abraham in the Malki Tzedik we begin to look differently at where we live, and who we live with. We begin to awake to the land and our descendants.

With Abraham יהוה is no longer dealing with mankind on a universal level, but one man and his descendants on an intimate level, the relationship deepens. 

YHWH moves his will from affecting universal –  to man (Creation – to Adam ,  now man –  then universal – Avraham-to the nations through seed.)

Prior to Avraham all the drama’s have involved evasion and abdication of responsibility.

Adam denies personnel responsibility, Cain denies moral responsibility, Noach fails to exercise collective responsibility and Babel was a rejection of cultural responsibility. Avraham is the turning point.

Noach: Look at the ark allegorically: 

In contrast to Noach, Avraham prayed for the inhabitants of Sodom. Unlike the builders of Babel, Avraham understands the importance of establishing a culture of responsibility.

Before Avraham, Adam and Cain, like the vast majority of today’s believers viewed the divine commandments as more of a constraint from which they tried to break free from!

By violence in the case of Cain;  and by building a high place in the case of the builders of Babel. 

For Avraham the divine command is life itself.

With Avraham a new faith is born, the faith of responsibility in which the commandments and the human will meet to give birth to a “new man” as having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the two one new man, so making peace;

Sukkoth is the time to leave your land/your homeland for a while, to leave…social forces/or social media forces, cultural identity and class system don’t hold on to old customs!

Gen 32:30  Peniel was the name Jacob gave the place where the wrestling match with Elohim happened. But that’s not what’s important. What is important is that “Peniel” is meant to be a real place inside you!

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” (Matthew 6:22).

Allegorically Yahusha is not talking about the two eyes…

In Gen 32:24 Jacob saw Elohim “face to face.” Remember, this statement is made in conjunction with naming the wrestling match location “Peniel”…the light of the pineal gland is associated with Elohim’s face! 

32.22 And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch. 

Jabbok means to empty; יבּק – Yod-Bet-Kuf. Jacob has to empty himself to encounter the supernatural; look:

First, Jacob was desperate and lost in his carnality, second, Jacob was “alone” when this encounter with Elohim happened…V.24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

This is where we all start, alone and carnal…

25: When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

Jacobs lower nature is struck, Jacobs dislocates from his worldly desires and finally comes to see his Savior. 

…earlier in V. 5 how Jacob thought his worldly possessions could save him: I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants…14 he took a present for his brother Esau, two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, thirty milking camels and their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

Jacob was a carnal man. Israel was a spiritual man.

Jacob didn’t wrestle with Brahma, Vishnu and Sceva, he wrestled with יהוה Elohim of Israel to attain the resurrection and transformation experience.

YHWH’s call to Avraham and his descendants is the same spiritual calling to us all.

YHWH’s voice calls to every generation to “Please leave…

Avram was like you and I seeking meaning in the world. The first Ivri/Hebrew> Havar  to cross over!

Beresheeth 12:1 Now YHWH had said to Avram, Get out of/lech lecha/ your country, and from your mishpacha, and from your abba’s 

bayit, to a land that I will show you:  

Remember Hagar? Gen 16 return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands…and I will multiply thy seed exceedingly. 

The only way to get back on course is taking time away with the community…

Isa 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The soul must be brought down so the spirit can go up!
