This Study is on the book of Numbers also called Bamidbar which means 'In the Wilderness'. In this book we have written the studies:
- Reorganizing His House - Parasha Bamidbar
- Dedication - Nasso
- Lusting for Vanity - Parasha Beha'alotcha
- False Teachers - Parasha Shelach
- Rebellion - Parasha Korach
- Touching the Dead - Parasha Chukat
- Rulers of Destruction - Parasha Balak
- Change Within - Parasha Pinchas
- House of Judgment - Mattot/Massei
In the book of Bamidbar this year it seemed my messages had pointed focus on the rebellion and false teachers of Elohim's house. It starts by the organizing of the tribes around the tabernacle which is also giving people their roles in the overall house of Elohim. These are established by Elohim and not men. This will cut to the heart of this book and the difference between those who build the name of the Father or who build their own name and authority. Then we get into what it means to be dedicated or not. This is the concept of staying true to Elohim. Many people Elohim put in a position then instead of serving start using what Elohim has given them for their own glory.
Mat 21:33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Mat 21:34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Mat 21:35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Mat 21:36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Mat 21:37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mat 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Mat 21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Mat 21:40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Mat 21:41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
This leads us to those who lust after things not given to them or that are not good for them and not trusting in the roles and things Elohim gives to you. This reminds e of the words of the master.
Mat 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Mat 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Mat 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Yet they lusted after vanity and desired things not given to them.
Psa 78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
Psa 78:28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
Psa 78:29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
Psa 78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
Psa 78:31 The wrath of Elohim came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Yisra'el.
Then men chosen by Elohim were sent ahead to see the good things promised by Elohim and they came back teaching lies. False teachers who abused their position given by Elohim. This leads into the rebellion of Korach, the serpents crawling ontop of each other biting at each other seeking higher positions and to rule over their brothers. Then we get the powerful message of the effects of touching the dead. This takes us all the way beck to Eve or Chavah who touched death which was disobeying Elohim. This effect of rebellion as it says in the parable below effected even Moshe who came in contact withthe rebellious people and then himself rebelled against the word of YHWH.
Pro 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Pro 6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
Those righteous trying to to help the rebious ones may themselves become unclean. This is exemplified in the waters of purification and the fact that the priest who sprinkles the unclean person himself becomes unclean. The same holds true to those who follow the false teachers who have taken a position not given to them or misused their position for their own gain. All who follow them shall be as them. They are rulers of destruction and bring their followers to destruction unlike those who are humble and don't seek after position and glory, they point people only to Elohim and they desire not to be teachers and desire not to have followers but direct people to only follow Elohim and they lead their followers to Life.
Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.
We them have the righteous who cleanse the evil from within Yisra'el and this is the model of cleansing the evil from within yourselves.
Mat 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Mat 23:26 You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 Even so you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
So YHWH will cleanse His house from within and make it a clean habitation for Himself. And those who He put in charge who then wanted to teach something other than what He said are then like a man trying to overthrow His house and establish a new authority. These fight against YHWH to slay Him and take His house and men who follow Him are also theifs and murderers but His children will also rise up and defend the house of their Father. This is the battle in Heaven for the House of our Father.
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Let us prepare ourselves for the day when the tares will be made known and those who appeared to be our brothers rise up against us and against the House and authority of our Father to take for themselves positions, power and glory not given to them. Let us draw our sword and defend the House of Elohim from the violent men who lust after it. And once again cleanse the house of our Elohim and cast out those who are not His sons and bring peace to the House of Elohim. Shalom!
A disciple should diligently search for the truth and humbly deny and reconsider it's possession.
