Basis for our Studies:
The Bible tells us that the “End (of the world) is declared from the “beginning” (Isaiah 46:10). Certainly, this means that the early Biblical record of human history bears End-time prophetic significance. But, it’s actually even more specific than that. The original Hebrew word translated as “beginning” in Isaiah 46:10 is תישאר (rê’shı̂yth). This is the root of Bereshith, which is the Hebrew name of the first Book of the Bible, “Genesis”. In other words, prophecies of the End of the World are found in the Book of Genesis.
The Torah is one of the five keys for unlocking End-time Prophecy… Prophecy is unlocked through the Statutes!
The Lessons and Tests of Israel in the Wilderness are Prophetic - for the Last Days
1 Corinthians 10:1-6 – The experiences, lessons and tests of Israel in the Wilderness are “examples” for us.
1 Corinthians 10:11 - “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”
What is being worked on in each Test/Lesson is ONE THING: Shema – Love Yahweh with all your heart, soul and might
· Deuteronomy 6:4-9 “Hear (shema: to hear intelligently, to pay attention, obey, be a witness and proclaim / live it for others to see), O Israel (those that bear the 42 letter Name): Yahweh our God is one (primary, solely God, supreme, first) Yahweh: And thou shalt love Yahweh thy God with all thine heart (emotions, innermost being), and with all thy soul (breath, will – choices), and with all thy might (strength). And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house (that’s our down-time of resting, at the end of day), and when thou walkest by the way (in the commute, travel time), and when thou liest down (when you first lay down and before you fall asleep at night), and when thou risest up (when you first wake up in the morning). And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes (we are sealed in the forehead and hand… the Shema is the Sealing). And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.”
Campsite #12: Kibroth Hataavah (means "graves of lust") - Numbers 33:16
· Numbers 1:1-2 – Yahweh instructs a census to be taken of Israel…
· Numbers 10 and 11; and Deuteronomy 9:22 tell what happened at this camp… Israel began “lusting” for flesh
· Daniel 1:8 – “Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with… the king’s meat…”… Food can morally corrupt!!! Daniel ate meat, normally (Daniel 10:2-3)
Kibroth Hattaavah is the place where the Spirit of Yahweh is poured out upon the 70 Elders!... The Children of Israel to be a part of this outpouring because Yahweh says that everyone should “sanctify themselves” (be clean – physically, spiritually…)
· Numbers 11:16-17 “And Yahweh said unto Moses, Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the Spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.”
TWO things are happening in tandem – Yahweh says He’ll provide meat (flesh) for 30 days, enough to come out your nose… Yahweh is going to send His Spirit upon His people.
All of Israel should have received the Spirit of Yahweh, as Moses said. But only 2 men, beyond the intended 70 Elders, received the Spirit of Yahweh, because the rest of Israel was consumed with their lust of the flesh – wanting meat…
The biggest event to ever personally happen to anyone is the outpouring of the Spirit! Yet, they missed it, for they didn’t care enough to seek it… Thus, although the Spirit is poured out at this campsite, it’s name is about Israel’s lust for flesh, instead of receiving the Spirit – which happened to only a small minority.
