we prefer to use the actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was
written in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four
Letter “Memorial Name” of
- YHVH,
which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also
use our Heavenly Father’s attribute/title, which is Elohim rather
than “God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we
also love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah which
is 
- Yahushua or Yahshua in short, for
this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in
Introduction:
The faithful in Yahushua The Messiah, understand
that the Tabernacle contains many spiritual pictures of our beloved Saviour.
However, the Tabernacle also contains much detail that relates to the Body in
Him.
However, in this study, we will be looking at
three main components that make up the Tabernacle, these being, 1. The Outer
Court. 2. The Tent of the Congregation or Meeting, and 3. The
Holy of Holies.
Word One - Labour:
For interest sake the “Tent of the
Congregation” in Hebrew is “
“Except YHVH builds the house, they labour in vain that built it.” Tehillim -
Psalm 127:1.
But let us start with the word “Amal”
- “Labour” as was
found in the reading Tehillim - Psalm 127.
The analogy to the Tabernacle is that “Amal,”
is simply a work that is located in the “Outer Court of the Tabernacle”
a court that is open to all people regardless of their spiritual
nature.
Word Two - Work:
Let us now look at the second word that
relates to a work in YaHVaH and Messiah Yahushua, which can be found for
example in the book of Yirmyahu - Jeremiah.
“For the customs of the peoples are
futile; for one cuts a tree from the forest, the work (
Therefore
“
Of course many ministries strive to do that
which is right in the Almighty, but it ends up being just a work of their own
hands, for they tend to have lengthy board meetings, praying, planning and
deciding in which direction their ministry should go, and how best to raise
funds to achieve their objective. I call them “The God organisers”
Beloved, if
I recall one day, when there was an urgent
financial need; therefore I went before Elohim in prayer in the blessed Name of
Yahushua. Several days later, a letter arrived from a dear lady in North
Queensland (
“Dear Brother in Messiah. You do not
know me, but I attended several meetings when you were in
Dear brother, whilst in prayer this morning in
thanking and praising our Elohim for all that He has done in our lives, He led
me to give you this gift. I know that it will be used to His glory.”
Now, let me ask you, “Who is in
charge of a work in His service, men or YHVH Elohim, the Almighty?”
Word Three - A Work with … Authority:
I now wish to cover the third word relating to
a “work”
This word speaks of a work in Elohim that
produces miracles and it is a work that glorifies YaHVaH our Elohim and His
only begotten Son Yahushua The Messiah. It is a work empowered by the
Here we can see that Yahushua sent His Apostles to go and share the Word of YaHVaH Elohim and the Good News of Yahushua the Saviour of sins for all who will believe and repent and follow His ways, etc! But also to use their “hands.” Hand in Hebrew is “Yad” thus; here we see a Divine appointment and also a work with authority!
This work commenced right from the appointment of Moshe - Moses to return to Egypt to go and stand before the Pharaoh was unique in Elohim’s plan for it was given to be a “work of great POWER.” For the “Yad” or the “Hand,” of YHVH Elohim is in the work!
This beloved, was clearly what we can call,
looking toward the Tabernacle, although it was not as yet built in
Moshe’s time as he was returning to Egypt to confront the Pharaoh, but already
in the plan of Elohim was a mighty work in the heart of the “Mishchan” being planned in heaven, thus a work in
the very “Holy of Holies.” This is where the true faithful in The
Messiah Yahushua should be spiritually employed in His service, for the veil,
thank You Yahushua, has been torn and we, having being cleansed from all our
sins and sanctified, may enter therein!
In Tehillim - Psalm 127
“Unless YHVH watches over the city, the
watchman stands in guard in vain.”
“It is vain for you to rise up early, to
sit up late to eat the bread
of sorrows.”
This verse speaks of “the bread of
sorrows” which in Hebrew is … “LeChem Ha
“Lo, children are a heritage of YHVH:
and the fruit of the womb is His reward.”
Believers can easily recognise those with good
“fruits,” just look at their teachings and their good work.
1… Is it a labour in the “Amal,”
a work of the flesh?
3... Alternatively a blessed work in the “Yad”
that produces “fruits” through which many lives are
saved and that is pleasing to YaHVaH!
A work in the “Yad” is a work that has been called by Elohim and is led by His Ruach HaKodesh, the Sanctified Spirit, thus it is a spiritual work led by His “Hand –Yad.” This beloved, is where we the “Little Flock” of the faithful in Yahushua The Messiah should be, ministering, teaching, working, guided by the Spirit of YaHVaH Elohim, for He will lead us to be at the right place and also to be there at the right time!
Beloved, this is important: A work in the “Mishchan” the “Holy of Holies” has
no need to be a registered organisation, to market or sell anything, never
asking for funds of any kind. However, it is up to the faithful to
ensure that the Elder/teacher, like the Apostles, are cared, as per the
Scriptures. If the ministry has been called by
Forgive me for my complete frankness, but, sadly there are far too many christian ministries in the world today, and so many of these can only be described as charlatan’s! They come under the evil “Amal” heading, being a work most miserable and perverse! These ministries continually put on their huge shows and that is just what they really are, of music and have what they call a miracle crusade, or it is more like a grand spectacular, for most of it is fake as they hire wheelchairs and bring in fake sick people who are suddenly healed in front of your eyes, yet weak people fall for it and hand out thousands of dollars for this grand show each and every time! Whilst the pastor’s big message is more about, well let’s be totally honest, having been to several in order that I can say this with honesty … “lucre” for after the message they come around these massive Entertainment Centres and sports Stadiums with their Visa Card machines and huge cash bags, whilst these evil pastors, the like of Benny Hinn and those just like him will have “received a word” that if they “give $1000 each to God right now, He will bless you richly, yes as the Word says, a 100 fold.” It is so tragic, but if people even send in a prayer request, they will receive volumes of “News” or what we tend to call the “Beg Letters.”
Yes as we travel our brethren will provide a bed and our meals, for which we give thanks for, and this is all part of tithing, and we all should tithe for that is clearly written in the Word and we all have that obligation, but there are many ways we can tithe and there is a study online in relation to this! But these Pentecostal and other pastors I have spoken about above, they do not stay with their followers, no they stay in presidential suites in five star hotels, fly in their private jets or if in a commercial airline in first class. They drive their luxury limos Benny Him wears Versace suits that have a pagan symbol inside it, and that is simply evil when you consider that so many of their followers are from moderately to extremely poor, yet they live the life of millionaires! Satan loves these men, there is no doubt about it and there are millions that blindly follow them, all we can say is how the blind lead the blind, but the question is that really true? For I do not believe that these men are that blind, for they know what they are doing, Benny Hinn has been caught out being an outright liar as he has told so many lies in his ministry years, and then forgot them, and retold them, but suddenly he was in another city, and then another city again, and even another country and yet he was saved for the very first time in each of them? Now that is not something anyone can forget. He told his followers that his father was the mayor of Jaffa, considering that his father was an Arab and Jaffa was part of Israel at the time he was speaking, there were only ever Jewish Mayor’s of Jaffa never an Arab mayor, thus again he lied! It is a tragic story, but we need to be careful who we follow and seek prayerfully the guidance of the Sanctified Spirit!
Then of course is the work in the “
To be truthful beloved, like it is in the
Scriptures, I do not believe in paid ministers, pastors or teachers for being
paid is part of the “Ma’a’seh” or the “Amal” ideology. Obviously, tithing should take care of any of the
essential needs when it is required, in addition we should not be wasting money
on building large fellowships for that is a waste!
I have been asked many times, “How can
we know if a ministry is truly from Elohim and is led by the Sanctified Spirit?”
Firstly, we should pray to the Almighty in the
wonderful Name of Yahushua The Messiah and seek for that blessed gift of “Discernment.” It is a gift that many do not have
these days, as they are too involved with modern living even if they are part
of the faithful in Him!
However, there is one feature that many
ministries do reveal if the work is of the “Amal”
or the “
I firmly believe that not a single ministry should ever be named after their leading or founding pastor or minister for it places the attention and focus on that person, and it takes away the focus from our precious Saviour Yahushua The Messiah. Thus their pastor and their ministries come before Him, regardless what they teach, like the “Benny Hinn Ministries,” they will teach any hideous false teachings, such as when he taught that there are “3 separate trinities,” etc. In addition their teaching features a total lack of repentance instead they teach the abundance of prosperity and Hinn even goes to the cemetery and even dabbles in necromancy!
Only recently I heard the “Lords
Prayer” used as an example why we should be prosperous, “Thy
Kingdom Come” and we were told that we “in the
Lord have that available to us right now the
Kingdom, thus we can claim ALL the Kingdom’s riches.”
However, no mention was made of “Give us this day our DAILY Bread.”
Like the manna in the wilderness, enough for today and then YaHVaH will provide
enough for tomorrow, blessed be He! Read, and reread again Mattityahu -
I believe that a true ministry of Elohim MUST
be directed by
After much prayer and fasting back in January
1978, the author was given a ministry name “The
RETURN Movement International” and this
Scriptural name has a great and valuable meaning in Elohim’s plan in
relation to bringing people back to Him unto repentance!
The word RETURN in Hebrew is “Shuv” or “Teshuvah” which means to “return,” “repent,” or to “turn back” and to “be made whole again.” RETURN is in red, because we are cleansed from our sins through the shed Blood of the Lamb of Elohim, being our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah!
“Movement” is in
italics for the ministry is an ongoing movement, until Messiah returns, and
obviously we are an International ministry as there
are no boundaries, and did Yahushua not say; “Go into all the world
and share the Good News to all creation. Whoever believes and is immersed -
baptised will be saved.”
Fruit & Arrows:
Back to Tehillim - Psalm 127 and the word “Fruit.”
“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of
them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in
the gate.”
As we work with Elohim being led by
“ … according to the riches of His
(Elohim’s) Glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might by His Spirit in
the inner man, that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts by faith, that you
being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE that ye might be filled with
the FULLNESS of Elohim”
You see, “we are NOT of the night or of darkness” thus we have certain advantages and sadly many believers do not even know what some of those advantages are, for they do not fully understand prophecy! The Scripture below states that “our Saviour comes as a thief in the night,” but was that statement also meant for the faithful? Now for later the Apostle Shaul - Paul having spoken about all those drunken and in darkness and asleep, etc, states as I already said before; “we are NOT of the night nor of darkness” and no we are not, for YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, has clearly given us the very day in the year when Yahushua will appear with the sound of the trump of Elohim for His faithful, etc! But that is another study! But read on!
“But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of our Saviour comes as a thief in the night. For you your selves know perfectly that the day of YHVH so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night or of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Saviour Yahushua the Messiah who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11.
Praise Elohim, we “are not in
darkness” for we live in the light, comforting one another with the
Gospel, the Good News of Yahushua The Messiah! We are called out to work,
guided by the blessed Spirit, a work guided by the “Hand,”
the “Yad”
of Elohim in the very
heart of the “Mishchan,” the “Holy of Holies!” Bless you, the faithful, also known as the “Little Lamb”
in Messiah Yahushua, as you heed to the message found in the Tabernacle.
Beloved, in which of the three Courts will you
serve the Father and His Son, our loving Saviour? I pray it will be in the
heart “Mishchan!”
“Always give yourselves fully to the work
of the Saviour, because you know that your labour in Him is not in vain.”
1 Corinthians 15:58.
“Teach me Your way, O YHVH. I will walk in Your truth.
UNITE MY HEART TO FEAR YOUR NAME!”
May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of
His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!
