There’s a scripture, we just read it in this previous Torah portion where Moses washes the feet of Aaron in the priest. Go look at then. Verbiage on when Yeshua washes the feet of his disciples. See how they are connected. Part of this story is about preparing the priest. He wants us to be that priestly nation. He wants us to be that holy set apart priestly nation going into the world in teaching the world about Him.

Over the last few Torah portions and this principle of the Tabernacle being built from the inside out. This Tabernacle that’s being built from the inside out is a reflection of our own physical heart.

The Tabernacle is a movable structure covered with skin. Just like you and I, inside of the bible there is a lot of verbiage about the kidneys, and the liver. There were detailed steps of what needed to happen to these vital organs. Details about how you’re supposed to prepare the kidneys to liver for different sacrifices. The Kidneys and liver represented the seat of the mind, heart and the emotions in the ancient world. In essence, what that bible Is telling us is that we need to hold our mind, heart and emotions under the fire. To Burn them clean and get rid of the impurity.

Jeremiah 17:9
King James Version
⁹The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

We know the heart is deceitful above all things. We must learn to put it on the altar, put it in front of the fire, and have it burned clean. Burn away all the impure thoughts, impure rebellious ways. Burn it all off. Burn away the leaven of man’s teachings. This is the work of what’s supposed to be happening inside of our Holy Tabernacle that we represent. We are a fleshly covered tent of meeting where the Holy of Holies resides.

The other thing that you see is. Later in the gospel accounts, Yeshua washes the people’s feet at Passover. Yeshua was a servant leader, and he was showing the world and his disciples who he was. That he was a humble version of God in the flesh. He was also performing the priestly duty that we read about in Exodus. In Exodus, where Moses was commanded to wash Aaron and his son’s feet, preparing them for their ministry as priest.

Exodus 40:31-33
King James Version
³¹And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
³²When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses.
³³And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

These disciples knew that story. They understood it in ways which we don’t. When we see that moment of Yeshua washing the feet of his He is preparing his disciples to be His priestly nation. To go out and do its priestly duty. He was preparing them to teach others about the principals learned in the Torah. The principles found in Sacrifice. We must learn to deal with our own thoughts and emotions. Learn to set them on fire, to burn away the impurities, to get rid of the leaven of man and get back to the commandments. Get back to knowing what it means to live a holy and set apart lifestyle.

They lived in a free republic much like our own, they didn’t want to hear about not indulging in the fleshly things that they enjoyed. They didn’t really want to hear about the things that they weren’t supposed to do. They too lived in a Republic. A free Republic, a voting Republic in which they had a lot of freedom.

I encourage all of us to learn to live this holy set apart lifestyle. That is different from the rest of the world. Teach your children that it’s OK to be different. In fact, we encourage this. We want this! The world around us goes way out of its way to not to be different. To not be weird.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2030:17-33:6&version=KJV

Pray that were not deceived. Pray that you can stand firm in the faith. Pray that you can be like Daniel or pray that your children can be like Daniel one day where he says. I don’t care what happens to me, whether I die in this fire or if The Father saves me, my faith remains. It does not matter what happens to this body because I know that my father is going to come through in the end. He saves us in the end.

Daniel 3:16-20
King James Version
¹⁶Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
¹⁷If it be so, our God whom we serve can deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
¹⁸But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
¹⁹Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
²⁰And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

I long for the time when we have our true inheritance.

One that cannot be destroyed

Cannot be taken away

Cannot be taxed.

That’s waiting for us, and we need to help as many people get there as possible.

Is the brain the only place that stores our memories?

This is That – Sabbathlounge

Are the spiritual gifts still relevant today? What does Scripture actually teach about spiritual language, and how should believers understand it without falling into either excess or unbelief? In this episode of Sabbath Lounge, we sit down with Jeff Brannon, author of the new book This Is That: Speaking in Tongues, Its Functions, Its History, and What They’ve Left Out, for a thoughtful and honest conversation about one of the most debated spiritual gifts in Christianity. Jeff takes us through the biblical history, function, and purpose of speaking in tongues, while also addressing the personal questions and struggles many believers face when exploring spiritual gifts. We talk about what happens when you experience spiritual dry spells, when you don't seem to hear from the Father, and how we should respond during those seasons. We also discuss a fascinating illustration from Jeff's other book: The Priestly Garments. What can this picture teach us about balance in spiritual gifts? If everything were simply "bells," there would be nothing but noise. What does the combination of bells and pomegranates teach us about discernment, balance, and the proper use of spiritual gifts? Jeff also shares his thoughts on Ezekiel 38:14 and the concept of a holy tongue, including the interesting description connected with the Hebrew word often understood as a chirping or similar sound. Another fascinating part of our conversation involves the work of Dr. Roy Blizzard and his research into the Temple and the location traditionally associated with the Upper Room. We discuss how this historical and biblical context may help us better understand what happened on the Day of Pentecost. Whether you have spoken in tongues for years, have questions about the gift, have struggled with spiritual language, or simply want to understand what the Bible says, we think you will enjoy this conversation. We have read Jeff's book, and we highly recommend it to anyone interested in spiritual gifts, speaking in tongues, Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, and whether these gifts are still relevant for believers today.
