Torah Class - Day 30: Studies of Statutes 484-485 - in End-time Prophecy

 

Today we continued our study of the Seventh Commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery"

We are looking at Deuteronomy 24:5, as it pertains to End-time Bible Prophecy. It says: “When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.”

Of course, because He is without sin, Yah keeps His Own Torah. As we are finding in our study, Yah will be keeping this Statute in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and beyond... 

End-time Events happen on Feast Days: So…  The Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be on a Feast Day… And our Heavenly Bridegroom will not go to war until after the Wedding - and the "year" of joy with His people...

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb – The Last Great Day

The Hebrew Wedding is carried out, detail-by-detail, in the Marriage of the Lamb.

Revelation 19:7-9 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” 

One of the decan constellations of the FOLD (Naveh) is Arnebo, the hare constellation…  which is portraying the devil (and all hell with him) as being completely powerless, during the time of the FOLD (Millennium).

Leviticus 11:6 - “And the hare (Arnebeth)… he is unclean unto you...” Arnebo = “enemy”, “adversary”

Revelation 20:1-3 “And I saw an angel come down from Heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”

·       The wolf is used in these constellations as a Biblical symbol – wolves conquer rabbits…  Also, wolves portray the end of violence – peace and safety.

·       Isaiah 65:25 “The wolf (Ze’eb) and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock... They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy Mountain, saith Yahweh.” 

The two wolves which guard/judge the rabbit are Ze’eb (representing Christ) and Shalem (from Jerusalem, a reference to the Bride). During the Sheepfold time, aka millennium, the Bride participates in the work of Judgment:

1 Corinthians 6:2-3  “Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?” 

Isaiah 11:6-9 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb... and a little child shall lead them... They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy Mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea.”

Connecting the Millennium / Sheepfold with Jubilees:

2 Peter 3:8 - “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 

In terms of the figurative “day”, man exists for 1 week:

The time of the sheepfold – millennium – is the SABBATH of the Great Week…

So what happens in a Jubilee?

First Jubilee Event: the Field is Returned to its original owner – the field is EARTH

·       Leviticus 27:24 “In the year of the Jubilee the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.”

·       Matthew 13:38 “The field is the world…”

The Jubilee was “hallowed” and “holy”

·       At Jubilee liberty was given to all throughout the land.

·       Families were reunited and lost inheritance and possessions were restored.

·       The land was to “rest” Leviticus 25:10-13

During the Jubilee, the Land (Earth) Rests: It rests in desolation (emptiness)

·       Leviticus 26:32-34 “And I will bring the land into desolation… and your cities waste.  Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.  As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.”

o   2 Chronicles 36:21 – tells us that when Judah was captive in Babylon for 70 years, that the land of Israel was “keeping Sabbath” and was resting in “desolation”.

  • Isaiah 24:1, 3, 19 "Behold, Yahweh maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste… The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for Yahweh hath spoken this word… The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly."
  • Isaiah 14:3 “And it shall come to pass in the day that Yahweh shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage… Yahweh hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers…  The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet…”
    • What day does Yahweh give His people rest from sorrow, fear and hard bondage? – THE SECOND COMING
    • What day does Yahweh break the rule of the wicked? – THE SECOND COMING
    • When is the whole earth at rest? THE SECOND COMING!
  • Revelation 20:3 “And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”

Torah Class - Day 29: Studies of Statutes 484-485 - in End-time Prophecy

Today we continued our study of the Seventh Commandment, "Thou shalt not commit adultery"

We are looking at Deuteronomy 24:5, as it pertains to End-time Bible Prophecy. It says: “When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.”

Of course, because He is without sin, Yah keeps His Own Torah. As we are finding in our study, Yah will be keeping this Statute in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and beyond...

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb – The Last Great Day

Steps of the Hebrew Wedding, as they are carried out in the Marriage of the Lamb:

·        The Bride is chosen by the Father

o   Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God: Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”

o   Deuteronomy 14:2 “For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God, and Yahweh hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.”

· The prospective Bride has a choice to make. She is not force to marry against her will. She has to decide if she will love and marry the prospective Groom.

· When the Bride says “yes” the Bridal Payment is made.

o Sometimes it’s called the Bride Price… ultimately, it belongs to the Bride. This payment sets her free from her former house.

§  Isaac and Rebecca – Gen 24:53

§  Jacob and his wives – Gen 29:20, 27

o   The more valuable the Bride – or the more in debt she was, the higher the Bride price would be.

o   The Bride didn’t hide her Bride price. The coins were strung and worn as a ringlet about her head. In this way she proclaimed to everyone the price that had been paid for her. The Groom conveyed his great love for the Bride by this payment.

§  John 12:32 - “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me.”

· The Bridal Couple then enter into a special Covenant- which is signed – it is called the Ketubah. Ketubah means “written” and is the “marriage contract”.   

o The Ketubah is the Groom’s communication to his Bride. In Bible times, the ketubah contained instructions for the Bride to help her prepare to become his wife. It also tender words of love from the Groom to her, with his promise that he would provide for all of her needs. He would be leaving, after giving the Ketubah, and would prepare a place for his bride, so he could return and take her home.

o During his absence, the Bride read the Ketubah to learn his instructions and be comforted by his promises and words of love.

· Once the Bride Price was paid and the ketubah was signed, the Couple was betrothed.

o   The betrothal period is called kiddushim, in Hebrew… it means “sanctification” or “to be set apart”. The betrothal was so binding that the couple would need a divorce (or a “get”) in order to annual the contract (Deut 24:1-4).

§  Messiah promises He won’t break it – John 10:28

·        During the kiddushim, the Bridal couple would undergo a mikveh (baptism by immersion).

· A cup of wine was shared to seal the vows of betrothal. This happened at Passover (the Last Supper) and at the Seder…

o   This cup at the Seder is called The Cup of Redemption.

· At the Groom’s departure, he would give his Bride-to-be a matan, or a bridal gift was a pledge of his love for her. It was to provide for her during the time of separation and to demonstrate his love.

o   Yahshua fulfilled this by giving the Holy Spirit at His Leaving…

· After the Groom’s departure, the Bride was to be busy in preparation for the wedding. She invited the guests, she read the ketubah, she prepared her wedding garments, and she gathered the bridal party... All of which are things we are to do, in preparation for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!

The Bride-Groom’s Return

The final step in the wedding process is Nissuin, from the root nasa, meaning “to carry”. This is the beautiful description of the Bride waiting for her Groom to come and carry her off to her new home.

When the time came for the Groom to come, the bride and her bridal party were to be ready - this is the background of Yahshua's parable (Mat. 25:1-13). It was customary for one of the grooms party to go ahead of the bridegroom, leading the way to the bride's house - and shout - "Behold, the bridegroom comes." This would be followed by the sounding of the shofar.

In Isaiah 25:9, we find what the Bride will say, when she sees her Bridegroom return, “Lo, this is our God! We have waited for Him and He will save us.”

Revelation 1:7-8 “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith Yahweh, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

The Marriage Supper of the Lamb – The Last Great Day

Revelation 19:6-9 “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for Yahweh God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the Marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And He saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. And He saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” 

Revelation 19:11  “And I saw Heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make war.” 

Revelation 19:12-18 “His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great GodThat ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.” 

Luke 17:34-37 “I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Master? And He said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”

Marriage is the Symbol, in Scripture, of the Union between Yah and His saved People:

Isaiah 62:5 - “For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the Bridegroom rejoiceth over the Bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.”

· The Hebrew wedding is a prophetic shadow picture of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb

·  The Statutes (Deuteronomy 24) teach that the young man is to “cheer up” his bride (which means “rejoice over” and “with her”) for the honeymoon period – so also, Yahweh will keep the “honeymoon” period with His Bride.

As a token of His love for you, you will be given His promise to seal you as His own (Eph.1:13)

“As He rejoices over you, His bride. He clothes you in the wedding garments of salvation and righteousness” (Isa. 61:10).

Steps of the Hebrew Wedding, as they are carried out in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb:

·        The Bride is chosen by the Father

o   Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God: Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.”

o   Deuteronomy 14:2 “For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God, and Yahweh hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.”
