WARNING

Matthew 7:6 [Words of Yahshua] “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.” (NKJV)

This book and its teachings will not be accepted and appreciated by all, but I encourage you to read it none-the-less and ask the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) to teach you the truth. If you would like to respond to this work, I look forward to hearing from you. This warning came to me a while ago when I was doing my research for this book and discovered so many distortions. I have done my best to be as accurate and clear as possible on the issues as I believe that I have heard them from the Father. I could not disobey the still, but urgent, voice telling me that these pearls are my harvest-field as mentioned in Matthew 13. Matthew 13:44-46: [Words from Yahshua]

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field,

which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all

that he has and buys that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful

pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and

sold all that he had and bought it.” (NKJV)

I had to share these precious truths (pearls) – which I believe has been kept from the body of Yahshua Messiach – because of the lies of Satan, the evil one.

v

Why I use the Original Names of Yah (God) 1. It is “The” name that cannot be translated.

2. God (Yah) has stated clearly in scripture that the name of

His Son can be found within His own name – therefore when His name is translated wrongly, this awesome truth, that is much more important than on the first glimpse, is lost.

3. The names of the evil one (Satan) are hidden in many of the

wrongly translated names.

4. God (Yah) in the scriptures has demanded that we should not use the names of other gods.

5. God (Yah) stated that the names of other gods used for His

Name will be taken away, out of our mouths. 6. God (Yah) stated that He will not return until the time that

we have learned to say Yahshua.

7. God (Yah) will destroy the names of all other gods.

8. God (Yah) was dissatisfied that the priests despised His Name.

9. God (Yah) was dissatisfied that the people profaned His

Holy Name.

10. God (Yah) honours us if we do not deny His name.

vi

Exodus 23:21 “Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for MY NAME IS IN HIM.” (NKJV) Isaiah 42:8 I am YEHOVAH that is My Name; My esteem will I not give to another, neither my praise to idols. (HS) Psalm 68:4 Sing to God (Elohim), sing praises to His name: Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, and rejoice before Him. (NKJV) Exodus 23:13 “In all that I have said to you, be circumspect and make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” (NKJV) Hosea 2:17 For I will take from her mouth the names of the Baals, and they shall be remembered by their name no more. (NKJV) Matthew 23:39 …“for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!’ (JEHOVAH)” (NKJV) Deuteronomy 12:3 “And you shall destroy their altars, break their sacred pillars, and burn their wooden images with fire; you shall cut down the carved images of their gods and destroy their names from that place. (NKJV) Malachi 1:6 “A son honours his father and a servant his master: if then I be a Father, where is My honour? And if I am a Master, where is My reverence? Says the Lord of hosts to you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ‘In which way have we despised Your name?'” (NKJV) Leviticus 20:3 And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary and to profane My holy name. (KJV) Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door (portal), and no man can shut it: for thou has a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied My name. (KJV)

Zephaniah 3:9 “For then I shall turn unto the peoples a clean lip, so that they all call on the Name of YHWH, to serve Him with one shoulder.” (HS)

MY MANDATE

When lying paralyzed in hospital, on Mother’s Day 8 May 2011, I did not know yet that a book would follow out of that difficult experience, which would continue for the next four years, and counting. The word Transverse Myelitis (TM) was so difficult that I could only remember it after hearing it several times, seen it a few times and wrote it out once. Only then, could I begin to discuss and articulate this unknown illness. I have been moved to write a second book about the marriage relationship as a result of the experiences I have had throughout the duration of this strange illness. In most cases, Transverse Myelitis leaves its victims paralyzed and in a wheelchair for life, yet I have experienced a gradual and sure recovery. The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) has pressed me to write down the things that my body has gone through and the mysteries YHWH showed me regarding the Body of Yahshua. The Lord lead me discover the similarities of the Hebrew Marriage Tradition and His own life. Therefore, in this book you will read about a wedding and a love story – The Ultimate Wedding and the Love Story of All Ages. Enjoy my road to restoration and the twelve pearls that came out of this event. I would like you to keep in the back of your mind that it is my belief that my experiences during this time are to be a sign to the Bride! Each of the twelve pearls that I refer to consist of a unique message and insight and each relate to the twelve gates of the New Jerusalem that are made out of twelve pearls.

Dr. Strong was Professor of exegetical theology at Drew Theological Seminary at the time. It is an exhaustive cross-reference of every word in the KJV back to the word in the original text.

The instructions that I received from the Father were:

1. Mark 5:19 “Go... tell them what great things the Lord (Adon) has

done for you, ...” (KJV)

2. Ezekiel 12:11 “Say, ‘I am a sign to you’.” (KJV)

3. Isaiah 26:2 “Open the gates that the (uncompromisingly)

righteous nation which keeps her faith and her troth (with God)

may enter in.” (Amp)

4. Isaiah 25:6-8a “And on this Mount (Zion) shall the Lord (YHWH) of

hosts make for all peoples a feast of rich things (symbolic of His

coronation festival inaugurating the reign of the Lord on earth, in

the wake of a background of gloom, judgment and terror), a feast

of wines on the lees – of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the

lees well refined. And He will destroy on this mountain the

covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all peoples (in

mourning), and the veil (of profound wretchedness) that is woven

and spread over all nations. He will swallow up death (in victory;

He will abolish death forever).” (Amp)

5. Isaiah 62:10 “Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way

for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Take out the

stones, lift up a banner for the peoples.” (NKJV)

afraid of their words…”(NKJV)

hear or whether they refuse, …”(NKJV)

who seek His face.” (NKJV)

10. Romans 8:19 & 22 “19. For the earnest expectation of the

creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God

(Elohim). 22. For we know the whole creation groans and labours

with birth pangs together until now.” (NKJV)

11. Acts 3:21 “...the time for the complete restoration of all ...”

(Amp)

12. Acts 3:19 “...times of refreshing may come from the presence of

the Lord (Adon), ...” (NKJV)

This book is a command from Yah to me to assist His people to discover the keys to open the gates in order to enter into His presence. In summary these twelve pearls consist of 3 keys, and these 3 keys will open up to you the physical, spiritual and heavenly dimensions – the first , second, and third heavens. These twelve keys are available in twelve books which will form a set of twelve from the original book: ’Called to be ... Hephzivah’. Furthermore, it is awesome to see how the Tabernacle, Jerusalem and the Feasts of the Bible are shadows of Yahshua and His Bride. During the Old Testament these Feasts were prophetic acts, to be realized in the life of Yahshua and His Bride in the New Testament, and thereafter into eternity. Come and walk with me along this road and discover the secret place, there were we become one with our Messiach, our Bridegroom and the Lover of our souls. Come into His presence and be refreshed. This is the appointed season; this is the time of the generation of those who seek His face. He is busy restoring all things. The earth is in labour that we might be revealed. Come and walk with me …

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,

and may enter through the gates into the city. (NKJV)

10: Leah – Spending a Week with the Delicate Bride

Introduction

Hephzivah means “I delight in her”, that is us, Yah’s beloved bride. (HS) It is now July 2015, and we still await the coming of our Bride-groom, Yahshua. I pray that this book will help you to meet YHWH in His secret place so that you may become one with Him, in preparation for The Bridegroom.

Four years ago in May 2011, I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, a disease that attacks the blood and bone marrow of one in a million people. I would say that I am now 90% recovered and these books are a 12-part series that disclose the story of how I am overcoming this supposedly ‘incurable’ disease. It is the story of the selection of one in a million, to fulfil an assignment and to bring a Word to the Church, The Bride.

Hephzivah is my second book. I truly never dreamed I would be an author and yet fourteen years ago my first book ‘He calls me … Sarah’ was published. It is currently only available in Afrikaans, my home language, ‘Hy Noem My … Sara’. In that book I share how YHWH gently taught and changed me, and as a result of this my marriage was rescued from sure destruction. At that time of writing ‘Sarah’ in 2001, I believed I had achieved my life’s goal as I was doing what I believed YHWH had assigned me to do and even more than that. To put it plainly, I was truly pleased with myself. A Women’s Ministry called ‘Sarah’s Daughters’ developed from the first book as well as a monthly Christian Magazine called, ‘Sarah’, ‘Born to be a Princess’. My integrity would soon be put to the test though, as I was confronted with the exact lessons of honour and submission that I had been teaching in the book. After a two week roadshow in which we introduced the magazine ‘Sarah, Born to be a Princess’, my darling husband, for his own


2

good reasons, requested that I put aside this ‘Sarah’ work. If I tell you I was devastated, it is an understatement. It was like my joy was being taken from me. In a state of numb obedience, I chose to leave ‘Sarah’ while I tried to convince myself that the Father was now calling me to teach by example, what He had asked me to write about in the book. Little did I know that my life was to become a living testimony to women all over the world, of what it is to truly be an obedient ‘Sarah’. Now, 14 years later having lived the life of ‘Sarah’, I realize that it is my honour to continue doing so. As a result of this life choice, I have discovered the 12 New Pearls regarding marriage which I will now share with you. I highly treasure these 12 Pearls as they pronounce the relationship between Yahshua and His Bride, which is the body of Christian believers. We are the Bride, His darling, Hephzivah. In ‘Sarah’ I wrote about the marriage between a man and a woman being a mystery and a foreshadowing of the mystery of Yahshua coming to fetch His Bride, His Church. The name Sarah, means Princess and the Princess is the prefiguring of the Queen, The Bride, Hephzivah, God’s beloved.

In this book you will learn about The Old Testament Biblical feasts, the layout of the Tabernacle of Moses, as well as the many other things that are shadows of what is to be found in heaven. These types and shadows are also prophetic acts of things to come, as well as confirmations of things that have already happened in the lifetime of Yahshua, that were prophesied earlier on in the Old Testament scriptures.

It is a fact that the world’s time table is not based on that of Yah’s time table – the Biblical calendar of seasons and feasts given to the Hebrews by Moses. I have discovered that to truly understand the Words of Yahweh,


3

we have to understand the Hebrew traditions and lifestyle of the time of Yahshua on earth, and also before He was born.

The more I understand of these traditions, the more the Word of Yah bursts open before my very eyes into another dimension. The ancient Hebrew picture alphabet is so rich in meaning that it would take more than a lifetime to really understand the depth and width and length and breadth of the Word in its entirety, but that does not stop us from trying.

The more I study the ancient paths, the more I discover how contaminated our belief systems and traditions have become. The names of the days of the week, also the names given to the months of the year and even the way in which we calculate the dates, times and the years is based on the ancient Sun Worship Religion. The names we have been taught to address our Beloved Father and Yah (God) by, also have their origins in the deities of Sun Worship.

Now, I do not want to throw out the baby with the bath water, but we will have to search our hearts and make sure that we get rid of all the idols before we can even try to enter the secret place, the most Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle.

Please note: Hephzibah is the English spelling and Hephzivah is the Hebrew spelling. Hephzi is the shortened form of the name. It is used in various forms throughout the book. “J” is also used in English Names which is “Y” in Hebrew names like Jeshurun and Yeshurun.

Tenth Gate

From Prostitute to Virgin Bride! Isaiah 62:4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; (KJV) Just recently I watched the film “Pretty Woman” on TV and I was truly surprised at the emotions that it evoked in me. I do not watch TV very often but from time to time I like to tune in and see what is happening in the news. I have watched this movie with my daughters before, quite a long time ago, but this day, as I was changing channels, I felt compelled to continue watching this specific film. The two main characters in the film are broken people because of what life has dealt them. One is a hard-hearted businessman and the other an unlikely prostitute and they are both using people in their individual ways to gain money. In the film he pays her a week’s wages so that she might pretend to be his “woman” and accompany him to the various functions that he is obliged to attend for his work. She is required to stay with him in his luxury hotel suite and he buys her the clothes and shoes that she needs to fulfil this fictitious role. He decides that he is going to look past the fact that she is a prostitute and he treats her with the utmost respect and he begins to truly enjoy her company. During the time that he gets to know her, his heart becomes softened and he starts to change. She experiences true appreciation and she too begins to soften her heart. In the end they commit to each other in true love. I cannot tell you how much I cried that day, my emotions were so touched.


5

I was reminded of how I too was once in a sense a “prostitute” with my heart, not truly serving Yah. But then I was taken in by Yahshua Himself, and I was saved. He took me in and treated me like a special person, looking after all my needs and forgiving me my past. That day I cried and cried like a little baby as I was reminded of Ezekiel 16, which I have used many times throughout this series of books. It is about a baby who was thrown away, only to be found by Him and taken in, washed and clothed and then prepared to be a Bride to Yahshua. Fulfil Her Week Genesis 29:27 Fulfil her week… (NKJV) In this 10th Pearl of the Bride we see that after the Bride was seized by her groom, they return to his father’s house and they are then given a week to have their honeymoon. The bridal chamber would already have been fully prepared for this honeymoon week. This is similar to the chamber that Yahshua said He is going to prepare for us. He is waiting in anticipation for His Father to give Him the go-ahead to come and fetch us. (See the previous chapter about being changed, translated, seized, and snatched away.) You may find that there is a lot of new terminology being used in this section and although we do not have complete understanding of all the mysteries, it does not prevent us from looking at these new words and discussing them to try and understand better. We know that the Scripture does say we are now only looking into a mirror and one day will know the full mystery.


6

In Genesis 29, where Jacob was betrayed and received Leah instead of Rachel, we see that his father-in-law told him to fulfil the week with Leah, after which he could also get Rachel, his beloved, as it was the custom that the eldest daughter should marry first. Jacob was furious when he discovered that he did not marry his first love. By law he was however obliged to fulfil her week, before he could marry the second sister, his beloved Rachel. He therefore paid twice for his beloved bride, Rachel. We saw in Book 2 that Yahshua has paid with His own life, His own blood, for us. He has paid more than working seven years for us; He has even paid more than working fourteen years for us. While Jacob paid twice for his chosen bride, Yahshua has paid the highest price of all for us, His chosen Bride. Unveiling Isaiah 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people and the veil that is spread over all nations. (KJV) It may seem strange to us that Jacob did not know who he was marrying and we wonder how it could have happened that Jacob did not recognise that he was being betrayed into marrying the sister. If we understand the Jewish custom that the Bride had to wear her veil for the whole time from the arrangement of the marriage until the honeymoon, it is then possible to understand how this could have happened, and why he only realised it was Leah once he removed her veil during the honeymoon of seven days.


7

In Isaiah 25:7 above we see how it was prophesied that the veil covering the people and the nations will be destroyed. When Yahshua died on the cross, the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bottom, while the earth quaked and rocks tumbled, as described in Matthew 27:51. We know that when Yahshua died He unlocked the access to the Holy of Holiest for us after which we could freely enter into the throne of Yah without needing a High priest to make atonement on our behalf. Yahshua died for all our sins and has made full atonement for us for all time; all we need to do is to repent and receive this free gift. I also believe that the veil covering over the ‘eyes of our understanding’ is being lifted and destroyed. Daily we are receiving new revelations and I believe that we are in the time described in Daniel 12:9-10 where the angel told Daniel to go his way as the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end, and that many shall be purified and made white and tried, and although the wicked shall not understand, the wise shall. A Robe Dipped in Blood Revelation 19:13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, (NKJV) At the beginning of the honeymoon the bridegroom’s best man stands near the door of the bridal room and awaits the bridegroom, to show the blood on the sheet as sign that the bride was a virgin. We know that in ourselves we are sinful and that we cannot be a virgin to Yahshua. However, in Revelation Yahshua is described as


8

sitting on a white horse, being clothed in a white robe dipped in blood. To me this is what is so wonderful; Yahshua Himself provides the blood on the sheet, His own blood. Therefore we see Him clothed in a robe dipped in blood in Revelation 19:13. He provides the blood on the sheet Himself, and shows Himself clothed in this robe that is dipped in blood when He appears on the white Horse. My spiritual mother told me about a vision she had a few years ago. In the vision she saw how the horse’s hooves were making a golden dust cloud as they were held back on the golden streets of heaven with Yahshua on the white horse with His blood-dipped robe. She told me how she saw the gold forming from the horse’s hooves, scratching on the gold streets, falling as gold dust to earth. Is that the reason that some people are covered with gold dust? Remember the gold on my arms? If this is really the case, isn’t it awesome? I can only give thanks and honour to Abba Father for all that has happened to me. I cannot wait to see the streets of gold, the twelve trees and the river flowing out of the New Jerusalem. Deep Waters Ezekiel 47:5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. (KJV) In this scripture it is explained how the water started ankle deep and then became too deep to walk through, even so deep that one could not cross the river at all. This is where our feet do not touch the bottom anymore and we become compelled to hand over our self-control to the Father. When I heard my first sermon regarding these waters, the Ruach HaKodesh showed me how people who get


9

into trouble in the ocean, actually die in the end because of exhaustion due to the struggling against the natural sea currents. I realised that if one could only relax and float on the water then the ocean currents would eventually bring you back to the beach again. This is how we should give our lives over to the Ruach HaKodesh. He will bring us back to the shore but when we struggle against the strength of the water we could tire and drown. One of the strange occurrences in my body due to the effects of Transverse Myelitis was that I could not feel warmth or cold on my skin. I never used to like swimming because I would get cold too easily, but after I became ill I started to enjoy it. I could go underneath the water with ease without being afraid of the cold. This is the lesson that I believe we should have learned from my body in the previous dimension; that is to go underneath the water after we have repented and then we should turn our backs on the old ways and walk in a new direction with Yahshua our Bridegroom. If we have learned that in the previous dimension then we will be ready to undergo the body change and be on fire for our Bridegroom who will come to take us with Him for the seven days honeymoon. Have you given your life over to the Ruach HaKodesh? Are you not in control of your own life anymore? Are you ready for the chambers? Are you ready to be unveiled? Cast Lots About my Wife Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture H3830. (KJV)


10

A brother in Messiach shared with me about the vesture and I was truly amazed. In Hebrew the word is “leboosh” (Strong’s 3830) - a garment, by implication a wife! Strong’s # H3830 lebush From H3847; a garment (literally or figuratively); by implication (euphemistically) a wife: - apparel, clothed with, clothing, garment, raiment, vestment, vesture. Wow! That means that the vesture that they cast lots for and was made of a piece of cloth, was a prophetic act about the very wife of Messiach. Isn’t that precisely what is going on these days? Different denominations are claiming to be the “only” bride of Messiach. This same brother also told me that he is sure that David, under inspiration of the Ruach HaKodesh, speaks of the Bride as ’The Darling of the Messiach’, as it is obviously The Messiach whom this Psalm prophecies about, and the Ruach, through David, prays for the Bride of Messiach (The United One) to be saved from the Dog – Satan. Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. (KJV) To Be One with Him Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one H259 flesh. (KJV) Let's have a look at a few of the attributes of this vesture in Scripture:


11

1. It is seamless, woven from the top throughout, one thread from top to bottom. John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four part, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from top throughout. (KJV)

2. It is like a husband and a wife – inseparable flesh. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one H259 flesh. (KJV)

3. As the Father, the Son and His Bride are one, so is the vesture one. John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (KJV)

4. This Vesture has no ending of one piece of cloth and the beginning of another different piece – just as the Old Testament and the New Testament has no ending, but is a renewed covenant.

5. This vesture would have been the tallit or prayer shawl of Yahshua, where upon the tassel or tzit tzit would have been attached to each of the four corners as prescribed in Numbers 15:37-41. He would have remembered the law and how it was the marriage contract with His wife.

6. Amongst the Jews you usually only get one tallit and keep it for life. Usually it is a gift from a prominent person in your life like your father, and in fact some communities of Jews, when they die, they are buried in their tallit; not even separated in death.

7. One can also refer to the tallit as the Robe of Responsibility because of the tzit tzit attached to the four corners, reminding man of his responsibility to YHWH.


12

8. The tallit is wrapped around the wearer, to be put on like clothes as we would put on Yahshua as a wedding dress described previously.

9. The tallit is usually large enough for a man to be able to put over both himself and his wife.

10. Although the word tallit is not in the Holy Scriptures, it is spoken of in various places and without stretching the concept one can see the use of it in daily life by Messiach and other Biblical figures: See Ruth 3:9; Mat. 9:20-22; and Mat. 23:5.

We need to remember that a tallit without the tzit tzit is nothing: It is the tzit tzit, the reminder to observe the Law of Moses, the Torah, which gives the tallit credence. See Num. 15:38; and Deut. 22:12. Tzit tzit is from the Hebrew Strong’s 6734 – a floral or wing like projection, a tassel, a fringe. See Mat. 9:20 & 14:36; Luke 13:34. A point of interest which I should mention here is that when I checked the Greek of the gospel account of the word ‘Vesture’ it made various references to items of clothing, but nothing indicated or alluded to the Bride of Messiach, as seen in the Hebrew word that is used in Psalms which John refers to in John 19:23-24, again just indicating to me the divine character of Yah and the need for the whole Word – not just portions of it – when searching for a meaning. The entire written Word is seamless ‘vesture’, a covering for the Bride of Yahshua. Scripture will always interpret scripture, so look for all the scriptures regarding a given word or situation, and try to make the connections, and the Ruach HaKodesh will reveal all truth to you. I imagine that during these seven days when we will be with the Messiach, we will be under His covering. As His bride we will be united with Him, inseparable, one.


13

It is important to start learning the deeper meanings of the tallit if you would like to wear one so that if anyone should ask you questions about why you wear one, you will have a good answer for them. The tallit is symbolic of the Father’s covering and protection over you and it also serves as a reminder of the scriptures as well as being a teaching tool. Wearing a tallit comes with great blessings, honour and responsibility. At the Noise of Thy Waterspouts Psalm 42:7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and they billows are gone over me. (KJV) e-Sword Psalm 42:7 Waterspouts: A water-spout is a large tube formed of clouds by means of the electric fluid, the base being uppermost, and the point let down perpendicularly form the clouds. It has a particular kind of circular motion at the point; and, being hollow within, attracts vast quantities of water, which it frequently pours down in torrents upon the earth. These spouts are frequent on the coast of Syria; and no doubt the Psalmist had often seen them, and the ravages which they made. I mentioned earlier in the book we are the sons and daughters of the Most High Yah, so you can imagine how amazed I was to read in Proverbs 25:2 that it is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honour of kings to search out a matter. How glorious that Yah allows us, as His kings, to search for the deep things concerning Him. We read in 1 Corinthians 2:10 that the Holy Spirit searches out the deep things of God and reveals them to us. Also in


14

Deuteronomy 29:29 the secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things that are revealed belong to His children. Therefore beloved Bride of Yah I encourage you to seek the deep things of Yah so that your intimate relationship with Him can grow stronger and stronger. Allow His Living Water to flow over your soul, enter the deep ocean and allow it to go over your head and bathe in His presence, He is waiting for you there. Often one hears people say that you should believe like a child and not make the gospel difficult. While this has meaning in a certain sense, the scripture has more views about the deep things of Yah. For me, this is the appointed time, and due season for the deep things of Yah to be revealed and searched out by His sons and daughters. I talked to a doctor about how strange it was that I could not feel anything on my skin, yet I could feel pain inside my body. He then explained that with this illness one is able to feel some sensations and others not at all. The nervous system is a complex communication network that functions between the cells, and he explained further that I would be able to feel a touch on my body but not a needle, because the deep nerves had been affected. Unity with Yahshua is on a level much deeper than the physical realm. A husband and wife can perhaps have a tiny inkling; a slight sense of what this unity is all about, however I believe that this unity that I am talking about is one of the deeper mysteries of the Word. To be one with Yahshua is to be one on a level far beyond our


15

imagination. Once again my body, because of the effects of Transverse Myelitis, has taught us something deeper than the depths at the end of a waterfall. Are you ready for this deep relationship with Yahshua or are you a weeping bride? The Only Name Exodus 3:13 – 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you. (KJV) We have written about the true name of Yahshua in Book 2. However, only recently I realised that there is actually only One Name for God, and all other Names are actually nicknames or attributes of His Character. The Name of God is coming from the Hebrew word for I AM WHAT I AM. Exodus 3:13 – 14 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM H1961 THAT I AM H1961: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I amH1961 hath sent me unto you. (KJV) According to e-Sword Strong’s # H1961, the Hebrew for I am is haYah, meaning to exist, coming from yavah meaning to breathe. It is from this that the shortened Name for God is Yah, also known as the sacred Name of God. Psalm 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah (Yah), and rejoice before him. (KJV) Therefore can you now understand why His Son, Whose Name is in Him, is Yahshua,


16

meaning Yah Who saves? ... Exodus 23:20-21 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him, and obey His voice, provoke him not, for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. (KJV) Throughout all of the Scriptures, reading all these attributes of Yah, it was as if He had a riddle for us in Proverbs 30:4 which we had to solve. What is His Name and what is His Son’s name, if you can tell? Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists: who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell? (KJV) Just as the riddle of Samson and Delilah which was solved in the seven weeks of their honeymoon, so we have now solved the riddle through His Precious Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) showing us that He is Yah, and His Son’s Name is Yahshua. Remember with the One World Religion coming onto the world scene, there will only be one name that you will be able to call out to save you, and that is Yahshua, Yah Who saves. Get used to calling God Yah and Yahshua, the only Names He and His Son have. All other names are actually attributes or characteristics of Yah.


17

Weeping for Seven Days Judges 14:17 And she wept before him the seven days. (KJV) In Judges we also read about the seven days of Samson and his wife Delilah. Samson gives a riddle to the men of her tribe who are in awe and wonder about the source of Samson’s physical strength. They are given the seven days of the consummation of the marriage contract to figure out the riddle. During the seven days that he is away on honeymoon with his new bride, Delilah, she pleads and manipulates Samson until he succumbs and gives her the answer to the riddle. She passes the information on to her tribal elders and in the end Samson dies a tragic death, due to his connections with unbelievers – the Philistines. We are all given a choice to serve or not to serve Yahshua, but in the end we will either spend seven days with Yahshua during this special time of uniting with Him, or we will spend seven days weeping because we have missed out on this very special occasion. We also read that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when people realize that they are lost forever and on their way to hell. Scripture teaches us that one day is like a 1000 years and 1000 years like one day for Yah. This is because Yah does not have the constraints of time and space like humans do. He does not need to see the sun coming up and going down as He is outside of our time and physical space. Therefore, seven days may be symbolic time. However, I believe that we are in the last days and these seven important days form complete cycles. Despite the fact that we are using the Roman calendar instead of the Hebrew one, I have


18

experienced that Yah communicates with us in cycles and patterns in His calendar. Within Two Years Acts 28: 30 Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence no one forbidding him. (New Spirit Filled Life Bible) Before the attack of Transverse Myelitis on my body, Yah prepared me for cycles totalling one year; one year within two years. I could not understand the scripture in Isaiah 16:14 and 21:16. Many times I heard the words: “within a year, within two years…” In retrospect, I can now understand that I would get sick within a year from that time, and then again I had to wait two years for the healing of the deep nervous pains, where after two years the gates in my spinal cord closed on this pain and was remove by Yahshua Himself. It was then that the electronic devise controlling those deep pains could be removed. When I first became ill many people could not understand why I was not managing my accounting business myself anymore. It was difficult for them to understand how I could just disappear from the scene. What they did not know was that I barely had enough energy to bath and clothe myself. During this time at home, I was reminded of the scripture which Yah gave me in Acts 28:30; that I would be able to bring His Word home for two years, without being forbidden to do so. While I was weak, Yah could be strong through


19

me, (2 Corinthians 12:9) and He could speak with me and through me without any disturbances. For two years I was taught by Him. On 15th May 2013 I visited the doctor again for a check-up; this was precisely two years after I had walked out of hospital for the first time after I was paralyzed. The doctor told me that all that remained were the scars. At first I was disappointed, I wanted to hear, “You are completely healed!” Then the Ruach HaKodesh reminded me of Yahshua who had scars on His hands. I realized that it meant that I was healed. Just as Yahshua was resurrected from His grave I was resurrected from this sickness and had the scars to prove it. These days when I get blisters on my lips, it is there one day and gone the next. As mentioned previously, the virus got entrance through a blister on my lip. The virus will always be in my blood, but what is so wonderful is that my blood now has antibodies that can fight effectively against the attacking virus. It reminded me of Yahshua’s blood that gives atonement for sin – just as the antibodies can now fight off the enemy. Feast of the Weeks Deuteronomy 16:9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. (KJV) The feast of weeks was also called the Feast of the Harvest, (early Harvest) or The Day of Pentecost. It was observed in the third month (our May – June), fifty days after the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Just as Yahshua had become the Passover Lamb for us,


20

fulfilling the Feast of Unleavened bread and the Passover, so Yahshua has also fulfilled the Feast of Weeks. Precisely seven weeks was numbered after the seventh day of the unleavened bread, as was done in the Feast, fifty days after He was crucified, and then He sent the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Therefore, in a way Yahshua had also fulfilled one week. Equally, Jacob also had to fulfil the seven days with Leah and Rachel as stated in Genesis 29:27. More than that – He has fulfilled 7 x 7 weeks, the perfect number of 7 x 7! Until Israel had Enjoyed Her Sabbaths 2 Chronicles 36:21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. (KJV) As Israel was not obedient to the Shabbat laws, Yah determined that they would be forced to obey the laws by allowing the temple to be burned down and its people to be dispersed all over the world. Therefore, for seventy weeks – where a week is equal to a year – that is 70 years, they had been spread all over the world and their land was laid waste for all that time until 1948 when Israel became a nation again. Daniel 9:24-27 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon they holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build


21

Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (KJV) The seventy weeks were divided into 62 weeks, 7 weeks and one week. According to Daniel 9:24 – 27, we see that Jerusalem was rebuilt precisely 62 weeks of years after the command that it should be rebuilt was issued. Then Yahshua was murdered in the middle of the seventh year; that is three and a half year after His ministry started and then the last week is the week that is still to come. If this sounds difficult to you, read about the 70 weeks of Daniel in commentaries of Scriptures. E-sword: Seventy weeks: That is, seventy weeks of years, or 490 years, which reckoned from the seventh year of Artaxerxes, coinciding with the 4,256th year of the Julian period, and in the month Nisan in which Ezra was commissioned to restore the Jewish state and polity (Ezr. 7:9-26) will bring us to the month of Nisan of the 4,746th year of the same period, or ad 33, the very month and year in which our Lord suffered, and completed the work of our salvation. My aim in this book is not to explain much more about it; there are many good books available for that. However, the important part is


22

that Israel had been forced to obey the Sabbath laws, even after the death of Yahshua, meaning that those laws are still in effect today, such as the laws of not murdering or stealing. It is beyond my understanding that we want to throw away the laws although we know that we may not kill or steal. Why would we want to leave out one or two of the Ten Commandments? Yes we cannot be saved by the law, but after the grace of our Husband’s death offering to pay for our sins, why wouldn’t we desire to be obedient to Him? Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon they people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. (KJV) Covenant for One Week Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. (NKJV) In Daniel we also read about a week. During this week, it is said that Israel will enter into a covenant with a future king or which we will not discuss here, as we do not want to enter into any end-time arguments. But what we want to say is that there are many things regarding many weeks in the Word of God. However, we are focusing on a certain seven days that would be fulfilled by Yahshua as our Bridegroom. Whether it will coincide with a 7-year


23

arrangement of peace between Israel and the antichrist, is not part of our revelation here. We also read in Revelation 12:14 that a woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent, which many believe is the Bride of Yahshua. Again we do not want to get into arguments about end-time prophecies; we leave that to our Father. We should however be ready to spend a period of “perfect time” with our Bridegroom. Scripture talks about many more sevens, which all have meanings of perfect cycles, or perfect time, to it. One point of interest is that this week might be divided into two halves. The first half might have taken place as the three and a half years when Yahshua was ministering on earth, and when He was cut off with His death. The second half might be the remaining three and half years left for the Bride, being part of the week He has fulfilled for us. The Mystery of Seven 2 Chronicles 36:21 To fulfil the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years. (KJV) In the ‘Mystery of the Shemitah’, Jonathan Cahn revealed the mystery of the Sabbath 7-year cycle, even in our modern world! As


24

the Scriptures commanded us to keep the Sabbath, the 7th day of the week, and also the 7th year, and also the 7th-7 year, it happens that if we do not obey this command of laying to rest the land, the Lord allowed the Sabbaths to be kept with force! He described how the 2001 and 2008 financial collapses of America, all happened on the exact day that the debts should have been written off as prescribed by the Sabbath laws. Seven is the number of the perfect cycle, and four cycles of seven is also a very significant cycle, even in the history of America, the economic power house of the world. When the Twin Towers fell on 11th September 2001, it was also in a Sabbath year! On the Friday after the Twin Towers fell, 14th September 2001, I was driving home from a course in our capital city of Windhoek. At 15:00 a strange thing happened. At the moment I looked at my speedometer it was 770 kilometres in total that my new car had travelled. Now your vehicle is a symbol of your ministry. In the same instant I also saw that there was still 70 km to travel to the next town. Furthermore, a vehicle driving in the opposite direction had the number N770WB, which means the town of Walvisbay on our coast. While still thinking about the Twin Towers, I immediately thought of the 70 weeks of Daniel. Precisely a year later at 15:00 on Saturday 14th September 2002, I was invited for the first time to speak publically at a women’s gathering in Walvisbay, the very town I just mentioned! That was when the first key to the vision became clear! Seventy kilometres still to travel indicated one year to go before I would start my public ministry, and at the very same town that the vehicle indicated in the vision. Now if one 70 km indicated one year, 770 km indicated eleven years. When you divide 770 by 70, it gives you 11. Precisely eleven years later, on 14 September 2012, I


25

was at a prophet school in Benoni where I, for the first time was used by Abba Father at a healing gathering where the anointing of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) was present in such a way, that people could not stay on their feet. My husband and I celebrated our twenty-eight years of being married on the 10th October 2014. Taking the mystery of the sevens into consideration, it is four Sabbaths of seven years each that we were married. Most amazingly, four years ago, when my last daughter had left school, I asked my husband for a sabbatical, just to rest for a year after looking after the girls for more than twenty years! A few months later I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, and today I am in my fifth year of restoration, forced down by the illness – therefore five sabbatical years. Yah’s laws are still in place, whether we believe it or not, whether we obey it or not! What is more amazing is that the very book that I was reading which unveiled this mystery, I received on the very same day that I was married for twenty-eight years. I also started reading it at 18:00 at the beginning of the Sabbath, Friday 10th October 2014. Now, if by now you don’t understand my struggle with religion, first as a child in the Reformed Church (First Dimension) then as a married women in the Dutch Reformed Church (Second Dimension) and now during my struggles concerning the laws of Yah which are still valid today, (although it is preached that grace has taken the place of the law), you might now begin to understand how Abba Father is breaking open the mysteries to me in a very tangible way. How can I not believe His laws are still valid, if He Himself is confirming it to me in ways beyond explanation?!


26

Know today that His laws that were given to us as a marriage contract were given to protect us. It was not given as a curse, but as a blessing. Feast of Tabernacle / Sukkot / Booths Leviticus 23:34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteen day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord. (KJV)

e-Sword: the feast of tabernacles: This feast was celebrated in commemoration of the Israelites' dwelling in tents in the wilderness for forty years; and was kept with greater hilarity than any of the other festivals. Hence, in the Talmud, it is often called chag, the feast, by way of excellence; and by Philo, εορτων μεγιστην, the greatest of the feasts; it was therefore more noticed by the heathen than any other. It is probable that Cecrops borrowed from it the law which he made in Athens, "that the master of every family should after harvest make a feast for his servants, and eat together with them who had taken pains with him in tilling his grounds."

During this feast the Jews lives in little booths made of branches of the palm trees. They then remember their time of wondering in the desert for 40 years. In future this might be the day that Yahshua will come to tabernacle with us for ever.

What is amazing about the Festival is that in the millennium of 1000 years, it will demand attendance each year, or there will be penalties – Zechariah 14:16-19. Zachariah 14;16 and it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against


27

Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. This is also the time that many say, the Messiach was born. He came to ‘tabernacle among us’ – John 1:14.

Furthermore it is also the time of the restoration of all things – Acts 3:19-20. In John 7:37-39, we read: On the last day, the great day of the Feast, (during the celebration of the water pouring, Yahshua stood up and declared:) “If any man thirst let him come to me and drink. He that believes on me, as the Scriptures has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” (But this spoke He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive…)

The Bride of Messiach will rule and reign with her Bridegroom, not only for this 1,000 years, but in the New Jerusalem forever. (Revelation 19-22). (Read about this in Book 12.)

Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)

2 Corinthians 5:18-21 And all things are of God (YHWH)who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ (Yahshua the Messiach), and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God (YHWH) was in Christ (Messiach), reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ (Messiach,) as though God (YHWH) did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's (Messiach) stead, be ye reconciled to God.(YHWH) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God (YHWH) in him. (KJV)


28

Yom Kippur, also known as Day of Atonement, is the holiest day of the year for the Jews. Its central themes are atonement and repentance. Jews traditionally observe this holy day with a 25-hour period of fasting and intensive prayer, often spending most of the day in synagogue services. Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days (sometimes referred to as the Days of Awe). This was, and still is, the most sombre day of the year for the nation of Israel. It is a feast for only those whose sins are forgiven by the blood of Messiach. It was the day that the High Priest went into the most set-apart place, where the Ark of the Covenant was, and where the presence of Yahshua dwelt, to present the blood of a goat, for the covering of the sin of the nation for that year. (Leviticus 16) It was the day of national salvation. It was also considered the day of the “Closing of the Gate” – when the wicked who chose to be outside of His Covenant were sealed to damnation. This day also marked the years until Jubilee, which was declared every fiftieth year with the sound of a “great shofar” (Leviticus 25). Only on the eve of Yom Kippur, in Jerusalem, are the religious Jews allowed, by their Rabbis, to pronounce the Name of Yahshua. THE DAY OF ATONEMENT – YOM KIPPUR. Ten days after the Feast of Trumpets, Yom Teruah begins the Feast of National Atonement. This pictures the first action of Messiach after His marriage and the wedding feast. There are seven days between Yom Teruah, the “last trump”, and the beginning of the Day of Atonement. During these seven days, Messiach will marry His Bride, and they will be in the wedding chamber. At the end of the seven days, the couple will come out of the marriage chamber, and there will be a feast with the wedding guests and attendants.


29

After the wedding feast, Messiach and His wife will go to Jerusalem, and He will call all nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat for judgment as to how they treated the people of Israel. The Valley of Jehoshaphat is directly in front of the Eastern Gate – in the north Kidron Valley. Here is where the good Kings of Judah cleansed the Temple, after evil Kings had defiled it. Here, Messiach will sit and decide who will be judged and who not. (Joel 2 and 3 and Matthew 25:31-46)

The other aspect of the Day of Atonement fulfilled by Messiach is that on this day, “all Israel will be saved” – that is National Redemption. It is the day that He announces to all those faithful Israelites of all ages that they are justified in YHWH’s sight because of His Atonement.

On this day Yahushua, the High Priest, enters into the courts of YHWH and sprinkles His own blood on the mercy seat, and atones for the whole House of Jacob. Romans 11:26; Ezekiel 36:22-38; Jeremiah 31:31-34: and Jeremiah 50:20 and hundreds of other verses throughout the Scriptures. This is the day of the mighty restoration of the two Houses in their completeness, as per Ezekiel 37:15-28, in which He restores them into one Kingdom again.

Let us praise and thank our Messiach, that He took His blood to the throne room of Abba Father and that He atoned for our sins once and for all. Make sure that your heart is cleansed before Abba Father and that you have forgiven all those who have sinned against you too.


30

The Trial

Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: (KJV)

The Shofar announces the beginning of the trial. The blowing of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah was understood by the Jews as the beginning of their trial before the heavenly court, a trial that lasted ten days until the Day of Atonement. Greenberg explains that the central image underlying the Ten Days of Awe is that of the trial. "Jews envision a trial in which the individual stands before the One who knows all. One’s life is placed on the balance scales. A thorough assessment is made: Is my life contributing to the balance of life? Or does the net effect of my actions tilt the scale toward death? My life is being weighted; I am on trial for my life. Who shall live and who shall die?”

When I looked at the weather forecast in our area for the week of 9-17 October 2014, I was shocked when I saw that it was going to be an extremely hot period in the North of Namibia: 40-41°C – with words like unseasonable hot weather! Now, when electricity was not yet a privilege here on our farm, it would have been during such times that we would sleep outside! What a co-incidence that that week was precisely the week of the Feast of Tabernacles, when Jewish believers leave the confines of their homes and get in touch with their ancestors by building a sukkah, or temporary dwelling place. Sukkah is the Hebrew word for: hut, temporary dwelling, tent, booth.


31

This festival is a 7-day long celebration, beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh Biblical month. Sukkot is exactly six months from Pesach or Passover, which is also special for me, looking at the preparations of Esther, being 2 x 6 month periods. Taking the feast days into consideration, all seven feasts take place in a six months period, followed by six months without any feasts. These last six months are the most dangerous, as there are no reminders of any of the shadows. After these six months however, the first ingathering of Barley will start, followed by the ingathering of wheat after another fifty days, and then lastly again the ingathering of grapes – the time we are in now! Perry Stone talks about these three in-gatherings as three times and manners that we will be gathered unto the Messiach. The first group will be those who have an intimate relationship with Messiach. They are gathered easily, with a weaving fork, while the wind blows away the chaff and the seeds remain. They are most likely the Bride who is listening to the soft whispers of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) who will thus be gathered first. The second ingathering – the wheat – is a more severe process where more pressure and crushing is present to persuade those people that Messiach love them. They are most likely those who are not ready yet at Yahshua’s second coming, and who will have to go through the tribulation before they choose Yahshua – they would probably be part of the guests at the wedding. The third ingathering – the grapes – which is also a sign of Abba’s wrath, means those who will be gathered last. They will go through tough times, as the grapes have to be pressured severely to extract the sap. This group consists of those believers who do not believe easily, and they are persuaded only by going through very tough times, which include the wrath of Yah; they can be seen as the waiters at the wedding.


32

One More Day Numbers 29:35 On the eight day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work therein: (KJV) This seventh day of the seventh feast which is held in the seventh month – The Feast of Tabernacles – has an interesting turn of events. This seventh day is not the end. The eighth day is known as the day that Yahshua asked His people to stay just one more day. He loved His people so much that He asked them to extend the festival by one day, to stay with Him just a little bit longer. “Your departure is difficult for me; please stay with me one more day?” Wow, how precious is this? And how much do we lose out on, when we don’t know these things about the Feasts? Is it not possible that after spending the seven days of honeymoon with Him, He might even ask us, the Bride, to stay just one day more with Him? He might not want to depart for the Wedding Meal yet, but would like to keep the Bride with Him for just another day. Cherubim Exodus 25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be. (KJV) We have seen how Cherubim were placed at the gate of the tree of life in Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life (KJV), and here

in Exodus we see how two cherubim stretch over the mercy seat with their wings. What would the symbolic meaning of those cherubim over the mercy seat be? I think that they are guarding over the marriage covenant with the two witnesses. If that is so, how precious that the Father has also took that into consideration in His Tabernacle in Heaven, until the day that the wedding will take place and it is needed. Delicate Leah Genesis 29:17 Leah was tender eyed; (KJV) The sad story of Leah, who was not the beloved of Jacob, had a good ending. In the end she was the one who was buried in the family grave, not Rachel. Leah with the tender eyes became Leah the beloved one, honoured for her focus to dwell with Yahshua. Genesis 49:31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. (KJV) When we keep our focus on Yahshua our husband and our whole aim is to love Him and adore Him, we will, like Leah, spend the seven days with Him soon, even though we were not the beloved wife at first; our soft eyes and heart has caused us to become the beloved bride. Jeremiah 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. (KJV) Be a delicate soft wife to Him and you will be one with Him spending your time at His Father’s chamber.

Glory Revelations 22:4 And they shall see His face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. (KJV) Do you remember how, earlier in the book, we wrote about the fan and how the water forms a cloud in front of the fan? Now that is the climax of it all, the glory of Yah. This glory was the manifestation of the presence of Yah. Can you imagine how we will be in His glory all the time, face-to-face with Him? It is unimaginable. Few people were ever allowed to gaze on His glory. Moses and Elijah were allowed. What an amasing event to look forward too. Are you prepared for this glorious day? Have you forsaken the world for the Lover of your soul? Then you, like the delicate Bride, represented by Leah, will look into the eyes of Yahshua. Yes, those loving, caring eyes will look into your eyes after He has taken off your veil. Then His Bride will be known to the whole world. He cannot wait for this day – He is longing for this glorious day all His life.

Prayer Oh Yahshua, what a privilege we have to be looking forward to. We are overwhelmed and cannot imagine what is awaiting us as Your wife. Thank You for the shadow of the Feast of Trumpets and the Feast of Tabernacles, foreshadowing what we will be going through with You, the Lover of our souls. We cannot wait for this earthly tent to be broken down and for the seven days to start. Help us through Your Ruach HaKodesh to stay prepared and be ready for the body change and thereafter the seven days with You in Your chambers. Thank you for the Holiest of Holies showing us Your Glory, which will be part of our experience with You on a permanent level soon. Thank You for the two Cherubs hovering over the Ark of the Covenant where our Marriage Contract is under the Mercy Seat. Help us through Your Ruach HaKodesh to stay tender eyed and delicate for this very special time ahead of us. Amein
