Aijeleth Shahar

The description of events surrounding the impalement of The Messiah found in the Gospels is graphic enough for most of us but there are scriptures elsewhere that provide additional perspective of the events.

The 22^nd Psalm is titled “To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar – A Psalm of David.” Some commentators have inappropriately called it “The Psalm of the Cross” and suggest that The Messiah uttered it from the stake. The Hebrew assembly rejecting The Messiah views the Psalm as describing the persecution of David or another Hebrew person. We know from scripture that King David spoke to us prophetically’

Heb 4:7 He again defines a certain day, “Today,” saying through Dawiḏ so much later, as it has been said, “Today, if you hear Her voice, do not harden your hearts.”

It should not come as surprise to us to be able to find obvious connections between Psalms and the events associated with Messiah Yashayahnah. Psalm 22 shares with us “In The Messiah’s Words” the personal thoughts and feelings felt by Messiah Yashayahnah in paying the penalty for our sins. A Psalm of this magnitude would surely hold a clue to the gender of The Messiah. The verses in bold are prophecies of events associated with the impalement of the Messiah on a stake.

Psalm 22:- The Psalm of Aijeleth Shahar

1 My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me – Far from saving Me, far from the words of My groaning?

2 O My Elohim, I call by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I find no rest.

3 Yet You are set-apart, Enthroned on the praises of Yisra’ĕl.

4 Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.

5 They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 All those who see Me mock Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8 “He trusted in Yeshayahna, let Him rescue Her; Let Him deliver Her, seeing He has delighted in Her!”

9 For You are the One who took Me out of the womb; Causing Me to trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10 I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s belly You have been My Ěl.

11 Do not be far from Me, For distress is near; For there is none to help.

12 Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong ones of Bashan have encircled Me.

13 They have opened their mouths against Me, As a raging and roaring lion.

14 I have been poured out like water, And all My bones have been spread apart; My heart has become like wax; It has melted in the midst of My inward parts.

15 My strength is dried like a potsherd, And My tongue is cleaving to My jaws; And to the dust of death You are appointing Me.

16 For dogs have surrounded Me; A crowd of evil ones have encircled Me, Piercing My hands and My feet;

17 I count all My bones. They look, they stare at Me.

18 They divide My garments among them, And for My raiment they cast lots.

19 But You, O Yeshayahna, do not be far off; O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

20 Deliver My life from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.

21 Save Me from the mouth of the lion, And from the horns of the wild beasts! You have answered Me.

22 I make known Your Name to My brothers; In the midst of the assembly I praise You.

23 You who fear Yeshayahna, praise Him! All you seed of Yaʽaqoḇ, esteem Him, And fear Him, all you seed of Yisra’ĕl!

24 For He has not despised Nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.

25 From You is My praise in the great assembly; I pay My vows before those who fear Him.

26 The meek ones do eat and are satisfied; Let those who seek Him praise Yeshayahna. Let your heart live forever!

27 Let all the ends of the earth Remember and turn to Yeshayahna, And all clans of the nations bow themselves before You.

28 For the reign belongs to Yeshayahna, And He is ruling over the nations.

29 All the fat ones of the earth Shall eat and bow themselves; All who go down to the dust bow before Her, Even he who did not keep alive his own life.

30 A seed shall serve Her. It is declared of Yeshayahna to the coming generation.

31 They shall come and declare Her righteousness To a people yet to be born, For She shall do it!

The 6^th verse includes the words “But I am a worm, and no man” confirming The Messiah is no man. We can find another link to femininity by researching the title of the Psalm.

“Aijeleth Shahar”

Keil and Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament comments;

“Even the synagogue, so far as it recognises a suffering Messiah, hears Him speak here; and takes the “hind of the morning” as a name of the Shechîna and as a symbol of the dawning redemption.”

In another post chapter we will tie the Shekinah to the female aspects of Elohim. Albert Barnes in his Notes on the Bible comments;

“The expression “Aijeleth Shahar” is rendered in the margin, “the hind of the morning.” The word “Aijeleth” – אילת  ‘ayĕlĕth – means a “hind,” and is used as a term of endearment toward a female, Pro_5:19. It is found in Gen_49:21, “Naphtali is a “hind” let loose.” Also in 2Sa_22:34; Job_39:1; Psa_18:33; Son_2:7; Son_3:5; Hab_3:19; in each of which places it is rendered in the singular “hind,” and in the plural “hinds.” The word “Shahar” – שׁחר  shachar – means “the aurora, the dawn, the morning.” “The phrase ‘hind of the dawn’ probably stands for the morning sun scattering his first rays upon the earth, as the Arabian poets call the rising sun “the gazelle,” comparing his rays with the horns of that animal.”

We have “Hind” used as a term of endearment towards a female.

Pro 5:19 A loving deer and a pleasant doe! Let her breasts satisfy you at all times. And be captivated by her love always.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that “Hind” also can be traced back to The Song of Songs;

Son 2:7 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.

Son 3:5 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases.

Son 3:5(KJV+)  I charge^H7650 you, O ye daughters^H1323 of Jerusalem,^H3389 by the roes,^H6643 and^H176 by the hinds^H355 of the field,^H7704 that ye stir not up,^{H5782 H518} nor^H518 awake^{H5782 (H853)} my love,^H160 till^H5704 he please.^{H7945 H2654}

“Does” and “hinds” in the three verses above originate from the same Hebrew word.   Strong’s Hebrew Word Dictionary H355 איּלה ‘ayâlâh  ah-yaw-law’ Feminine of H354; a doe or female deer: – hind.

Thus the title of the Psalm is

The Doe of the Morning

In summary the Psalm of the Impalement of The Doe of The Morning points to a Sweet Lady called Messiah Yashayahnah who we should begin to spend more time getting to know. Had The Messiah been a male the name of the Psalm would have reflected it in some way. Our Lady Messiah has been shedding tears for us since before we were born and She loves all of us very much. It’s time for us to love Her and Our Father in spirit and truth.

Since the beginning, Satan has been intent on blinding our eyes to The Scriptures effectively drowning out the Voice of the Messiah who said

“Those who have ears to hear, let them hear!”

Today we have more than ears, we have eyes and The Scriptures documented by many authors whose work has been influenced by paganism but more on this later. We may as well get started and board a train. A little later we will step aboard an Ark. Let’s begin the journey with a song

Peace Train by Cat Stevens (Yusef)
Album: On The Road To Find Out

May the way to peace bring the favor and love of Elohim into our lives and brethren around the world. Somewhere along the road we will need to overcome the False Prophet, the Image, the Mark, the Number and the Name of the Beast and finally Satan’s influence upon ourselves. We also must reach a point in our lives where we worship Elohim in Spirit and Truth. One of the requirements of worshipping Elohim in Spirit and Truth requires that we recognize and eliminate the pagan elements that Satan has corrupted the world with.

Ruth and Esther are the only scrolls in The Scriptures named for woman. The Scroll of Ruth documents some of the history behind the Davidic line leading to The Messiah. There is another Scroll in The Scriptures where a woman is the primary person featured and in the Scroll She too is linked to Dawid{Dawid} in a most powerful way. The man in the Song describes Her neck as follows

Son 4:4 Your neck is like the tower of Dawiḏ,
Built for an armory,
On which hang a thousand shields,
All the armor of mighty men.

The Scroll is called The Song of Songs or Song of Solomon and is a love song describing the love between a woman and a man. Scholars and various assemblies view The Song in different ways. Some Hebrew assemblies believe The Song is an allegory describing the love of Our Father Yeshayahna (The Man) for YisraEl (The Woman). Some Christian assemblies believe The Song is an allegory describing the love of the Messiah (The Man) for the church or each of us (The Woman).

Rabbi Akiba ben Joseph, referred to in the Talmud, as the Head of all Sages was a contributor in incorporating Hebrew oral law into the Mishnah. He was involved in debates with other peers over which scrolls should be part of the Book of Hebrew Scrolls (Tanakh / Pre-Messianic Scriptures). There were some elders who found some of the sexual imagery portrayed in The Song offensive and wanted The Song excluded from the Tanakh. The intense debate led Rabbi Akiba to comment;

God forbid! No one in Israel disputed about Song of Songs, saying that it does not defile the hands. For all of eternity in its entirety is not as worthy as the day on which Song of Songs was given to Israel, for all the Writings are holy, but Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies. And if they disputed at all, they disputed only regarding Ecclesiastes.”

Rabbi Akiba in comparing the Song of Songs to the Most Set-apart Place{Holy of Holies} was comparing the Song of Songs to the most sacred site in Judaism, the inner sanctuary within the Tabernacle or Mishkan (Hebrew for “Dwelling Place”). The Most Set-apart Place was the Dwelling Place of Father Yeshayahna.

Inside The Most Set-apart Place was the Ark of the Covenant. The Ark of the Covenant was a gold covered rectangular box. The box was covered by a slab of gold called the lid of atonement or Mercy-Seat. On each end of the Mercy-Seat were two Cherubim made of gold. The Cherubim faced each other and the Mercy-Seat with both Cherubim having wings that were spread to cover the Mercy-Seat. Inside The Ark of the Covenant were the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments, a jar of manna and Aaron’s rod that budded.

The Most Set-apart Place was separated from the outer Set-apart Place{sanctuary} by a veil preventing everyone except the High Priest from entering into the presence of Father Yeshayahna. The High Priest was permitted to enter The Most Set-apart Place just once a year on the Day of Atonement to make atonement for the sins of the Yisraelites. This was a fore shadow of The Messiah to come atoning for the sins of the world by being impaled upon the stake.

Rabbi Akiba by comparing The Scroll of the Song of Songs to the Most Set-apart Place was putting the Scroll on the highest pedestal possible. He was voicing his very strong opinion that it was the most important Scroll in the Tanakh.

The Song of Songs called “Shir HaShirim” by the Hebrews is an integral part of worship in many Hebrew assemblies. In one assembly, The Orthodox Union of the Hebrew people Shir HaShirim is a timeless allegory of the relationship between HaShem (“The Name” used instead of Father Yeshayahna) and the People of YisraEl. The Song is recited on Passover celebrating the exodus of the Hebrew People from slavery in Egypt.

There are many prophecies of The Messiah in the Pre-Messianic Scriptures. Given that the Song of Songs is a Scroll of Love it makes sense to study it to see if it contains any prophesies relating to The Messiah. By doing so we might unlock or reveal something new about The Messiah that has been hidden from us.

In the Song of Songs the woman bride refers to Herself nine times with the words “I am”. A quick review of “I am” in Exodus reveals that “I am” is a component part in referring to Father Yeshayahna and is to be remembered for all generations.

Exo 3:13-15 And Mosheh said to Elohim, “See, when I come to the children of Yisra’ĕl and say to them, ‘The Elohim of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His Name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 And Elohim said to Mosheh, “I am that which I am.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ” 15 And Elohim said further to Mosheh, “Thus you are to say to the children of Yisra’ĕl, Yeshayahna Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Aḇraham, the Elohim of Yitsḥaq, and the Elohim of Yaʽaqoḇ, has sent me to you. This is My Name forever, and this is My remembrance to all generations.’

Thus Mosheh links the term “I am” in scriptures to Father Yeshayahna and Elohim. The last page of The Scroll of Revelation describes The Messiah by expressing three successive dualities beginning with “I am”. “I am” could be placed in front of the other two;

Rev 22:13 “I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’,
the beginning and the end,
the first and the last.
“I am” one thing and another.

There is an “I am” duality in the Song of Songs that we later use to unveil the etymology of a single Hebrew name Shoshannah on our way to revealing The Messiah’s Name. In Son 2:1 the woman or bride describes herself as;

(KJV)  I am the Rose of Sharon, and the Lily of the valleys.

“I am the rose and the lily” is a duality. Both the rose and lily are prophetic flower symbols of The Messiah found elsewhere in The Scriptures. The Prophet Yeshayahu whose name means “I am Savior” (Isaiah) describes the blossoming of the rose in one of his prophecies of The Messiah. The Prophet Hoshea (Hosea) describes the blossoming of the lily in his prophecy of The Messiah. Thus The Song of Songs connects directly to two different prophecies of The Messiah.

Let’s play an introductory Song to welcome “The Rose of Sharon” Our Messiah

The Spring Rose is Coming.

The 35^th chapter of Yeshayahu is a prophecy describing the period of time following the Second Coming of Our Messiah. In his prophecy the rose blossoms rejoicing with joy and singing. The admiration and appreciation of Lebanon is given to the rose. The excellence of Mount Carmel and the Plain of Sharon are also given to the rose. The people of Lebanon, Sharon and Mount Carmel will see the admiration of Father Yeshayahna and the Excellency of our Elohim through the blossoming of the Rose Messiah.

Isa 35:1-2 Let the wilderness and the dry place be glad for them, and let the desert rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It blossoms much and rejoices, even with joy and singing. The esteem of Leḇanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Karmel and Sharon. They shall see the esteem of Yesyayahna, the excellency of our Elohim.

The final chapter of Hoshea begins with a prayer where Hoshea exhorts YisraEl to return to Father Yeshayahna from their sinfulness and repent. Father Yeshayahna answers the prayer by promising to heal their sinfulness by sending The Messiah. In this prophecy The Messiah blossoms as a lily.

Hos 14:4-7 “I shall heal their backsliding, I shall love them spontaneously, for My displeasure has turned away from him. 5 “I shall be like the dew to Yisra’ĕl. He shall blossom like the lily, and cast out his roots like Leḇanon. 6 “His branches shall spread, and his splendour shall be like an olive tree, and his fragrance like Leḇanon. 7 “Those who dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive like grain, and blossom like the vine, and become as fragrant as the wine of Leḇanon.

It is true that the above scripture says “He shall blossom like the lily” but ancient Hebrew texts were written where the words included only consonants and the vowels were omitted. Through the course of time errors in interpreting and translating texts have occurred. Let’s look at two of the Hebrew words in verses 5 and 6 above to expand upon the idea that some things are “Lost in the Translation” including gender. For this we need the King James Version mapped to the Hebrew source documents with assistance from Strong’s Dictionary of Hebrew words.

Hos 14:5-6 I will be^H1961 as the dew^H2919 unto Israel:^H3478 he shall grow^H6524 as the lily,^H7799 and cast forth^H5221 his roots^H8328 as Lebanon.^H3844Hos 14:6 His branches^H3127 shall spread,^H1980 and his beauty^H1935 shall be^H1961 as the olive tree,^H2132 and his smell^H7381 as Lebanon.^H3844

The Hebrew Word “pârach” H6524 pronounced paw-rakh’ has been translated above to “He shall grow” and the word is:- A primitive root; to break forth as a bud, that is, bloom; generally to spread; specifically to fly (as extending the wings); figuratively to flourish: – X abroad, X abundantly, blossom, break forth (out), bud, flourish, make fly, grow, spread, spring (up).

So we can see that the “He shall” was added by the translator.

The Hebrew Word “yôneqeth” H3127 has been translated to “His branches” and the word is the feminine form of H3126; a sprout: – (tender) branch, young twig. Therefore if it’s the feminine form it should have been translated as “Her branches shall spread”. Thus the text should have been translated as:-

Hos 14:5-6 “I shall be like the dew to Yisra’ĕl. She shall blossom like the lily, and cast out her roots like Leḇanon. 6 “Her branches shall spread, and her splendor shall be like an olive tree, and her fragrance like Leḇanon.

Son 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, The lily of the valleys.
Son 2:2 Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

She is described by her lover as “Like a lily among thorns”. In the Messianic Scriptures, various accounts describe the roman soldiers of the governor, mocking, stripping, spitting at, beating and placing a crown of thorns on The Messiah. Thus The Messiah crowned by thorns fulfills The Songs prophecy of “Like a lily among thorns”.

Mar 15:17-20 and decked Her with purple. And they plaited a crown of thorns, put it on Her, 18 and they began to call out to Her, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!” 19 And they kept beating Her on the head with a reed and were spitting on Her. And bending the knee, they were bowing down to Her. 20 And when they had mocked Her, they took the purple off Her, and put Her own garments on Her, and led Her out to impale Her.

Joh 19:1-3 Then, therefore, Pilate took Yashayahnah and flogged Her. 2 And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and placed it on Her head, and they put a purple robe on Her, 3 and came to Her and said, “Greetings, Sovereign of the Yehuḏim!” And they slapped Her in the face.

Continuing with “So is my love among the daughters” we find many references in scripture where “Daughter” symbolizes a relationship between the inhabitants of a city and Elohim. “The Daughter of Tsiyon {Zion}”, “The Daughter of Yerushalayim{Jerusalem}”, “The Maiden Tsiyon” and “The Maiden Daughter of Yerushalayim” are all found in various scriptures.

Yeshayahu in an end time prophecy shares with us that the ratio of women left to men will be very high creating competition for husbands. The Messiah(Symbolized by Branch) will be praised by those who have survived an end time tribulation of seven years. It is a time of judgment during which the wrath of Yeshayahna washes the earth of its iniquity. Those surviving the tribulation will be in the Sovereigndom of Tsiyon and will be considered Set-Apart and blessed by Father Yeshayahna. They will receive shelter from the devastating impact of the tribulation.

Isa 4:1-6 And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, “We shall eat our own food and wear our own clothes; only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.” 2 In that day the Branch of Yeshayahna shall be splendid and esteemed. And the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for the escaped ones¹ of Yisra’ĕl. 3 And it shall be that he who is left in Tsiyon and he who remains in Yerushalayim is called set-apart, everyone who is written among the living in Yerushalayim. 4 When Yeshayahna has washed away the filth of the daughters of Tsiyon, and rinsed away the blood of Yerushalayim from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, 5 then Yeshayahna shall create above every dwelling place of Mount Tsiyon, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all the esteem shall be a covering, 6 and a booth for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain.

Footnote: ¹Joel 2:32

Joe 2:32 “And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of Yeshayahna shall be delivered. For on Mount Tsiyon and in Yerushalayim there shall be an escape as Yeshayahna has said, and among the survivors whom Yeshayahna calls.

There is at least one occurrence in scripture where the Maiden, Daughter of Tsiyon and Daughter of Yerushalayim refer to the Set-Apart Messiah.

King Hizqiyahu (Hezekiel) of Yehudah (Judah) faces annihilation from King Sennacherib Sanherib (Sennacherib) of Ashur (Assyria) and prays to Father Yeshayahna for help and deliverance from the enemy. Father Yeshayahna in answering Hizqiyahu’s prayer tells us that the Maiden, the Daughter of Tsiyon, has despised and mocked King Sanherib. Father Yeshayahna  continues by saying the Daughter of Yerushalayim has shaken Her Head behind King Sanherib who has reviled and raised his voice to Father Yeshayahna. Given King Hizqiyahu and his people were facing annihilation and his people were in no position to mock the oncoming attackers. Both the Maiden, Daughter of Tsiyon and Daughter of Yerushalayim are then identified as the Set-Apart One of YisraEl. The Daughters here are a hidden prophecy that The Messiah is a woman and the Set-Apart One of YisraEl.

Isa 37:14-29 And Ḥizqiyahu received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. And Ḥizqiyahu went up to the House of Yeshayahna, and spread it before Yeshayahna. 15 And Ḥizqiyahu prayed to Yeshayahna, saying, 16 “O Yeshayahna of hosts, Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, the One who dwells between the keruḇim, You are Elohim, You alone, of all the reigns of the earth. You have made the heavens and earth. 17 “Incline Your ear, O Yeshayahna, and hear. Open Your eyes, O Yeshayahna, and see. And hear all the words of Sanḥĕriḇ, who has sent to reproach the living Elohim. 18 “Truly, Yeshayahna, the sovereigns of Ashshur have laid waste all the lands, and their land, 19 and have put their mighty ones into the fire, for they were not mighty ones, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. And they destroyed them. 20 “And now, O Yeshayahna our Elohim, save us from his hand, so that all the reigns of the earth know that You are Yeshayahna, You alone.” 21 Then Yeshayahu son of Amots sent to Ḥizqiyahu, saying, “Thus said Yeshayahna Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Because you have prayed to Me against Sanḥĕriḇ sovereign of Ashshur, 22 this is the word which Yeshayahna has spoken concerning him, “The maiden, the daughter of Tsiyon, has despised you, mocked you; the daughter of Yerushalayim has shaken her head behind you! 23 “Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes in pride? Against the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl! 24 “By the hand of your servants you have reproached Yeshayahna, and said, ‘With my many chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the limits of Leḇanon. And I cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. And I enter its farthest height, its thickest forest. 25 ‘I have dug and drunk water, and with the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of defence.’ 26 “Have you not heard long ago how I made it, from days of old, that I formed it? Now I have brought it about, that you should be for crushing walled cities into heaps of ruins. 27 “And their inhabitants were powerless, they were overthrown and put to shame. They were as the grass of the field and as the green plant, as the grass on the house-tops and as grain blighted before it is grown. 28 “But I know your sitting down, and your going out and your coming in, and your rage against Me. 29 “Because your rage against Me and your pride have come up to My ears, I shall put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I shall turn you back by the way which you came.

A messenger of Father Yeshayahna killed 185,000 of the Ashurians and King Sanherib turned and returned back to his kingdom where his sons ultimately killed him by the sword.

“The maiden, the daughter of Tsiyon, has despised you, mocked you; the daughter of Yerushalayim has shaken her head behind you!  “Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes in pride? Against the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl! The Set-Apart One of Yisrael is none other than The Messiah.

Let’s now return to the verses we opened the chapter with and see if we can strengthen our relationship between the bride (The Messiah) and King Dawid. In the verse below the bridegroom compares the neck of The Rose and Lily to the tower of Dawid. Symbolically the lives of King Dawid’s army and people hang upon her neck.

Son 4:4 Your neck is like the tower of Dawiḏ,
Built for an armoury,
On which hang a thousand shields,
All the armour of mighty men.

We have already mentioned that first chapter in the Messianic Scriptures links The Messiah to King Dawid.

Mat 1:17 So all the generations from Aḇraham to Dawiḏ were fourteen generations, and from Dawiḏ until the exile to Baḇel were fourteen generations, and from the exile to Baḇel until the Messiah were fourteen generations.

We can further strengthen the linkage of the people relying on The Rose and Lily for military strength and refuge by looking at some key verses in two different Psalms. Both Psalms are attributable to King Dawid. In the first example King David blesses Yeshayahna his Rock and calls him “My tower and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I take refuge” and refuge who subdues the people under me. The verses have much in common with those in The Song above.

Psa 144:1-2 Blessed be Yeshayahna my Rock, Who is teaching my hands for fighting, My fingers for battle; 2 My kindness and my stronghold, My tower and my deliverer, My shield, and in whom I take refuge, Who is subduing peoples under me.

The second example was written by King Dawid to be played to music and is similar to the one above except in this instance he begins with “I love you”. When we compare it to the verses in The Song above we could easily replace the opening of the verse with “I love You, The Rose and Lily, My Strength and Rock.”

Psa 18:1-2 I love You, O Yeshayahna, My strength. 2 Yeshayahna is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer; My Ěl is my rock, I take refuge in Him; My shield and the horn of my deliverance, my high tower

Using the two psalms above we can turn

Son 4:4 Your neck is like the tower of Dawiḏ, Built for an armoury, On which hang a thousand shields, All the armour of mighty men.

Into

The Rose and Lily is Yeshayahna My El, Rock and Deliverer

The Psalms connecting The Messiah to the Song of Songs continues to support the thesis that The Song is prophetic.

In the verse below, The Rose and Lily asks the one She loves where it is that their flock is shepherded (Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon). She wants to know why She is hidden from them and their companion flocks as their Shepherd (who is veiled).

Son 1:7 Make known to me, O you whom my being loves, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions?

In the Messianic Scriptures we find the verse above expanded upon by The Messiah. The Messiah is the door and invites us to enter the sheepfold through Her and be saved. The Messiah contrasts Herself with those who have evil intentions by saying She has come to shepherd them so they may possess eternal life beyond measure. She is the good shepherd who is willing to offer Her life for them. She knows Her sheep and Her sheep know Her in the same way She knows The Father and The Father knows Her. There are other sheep who do not know Her yet (Those that lived before The Messiah) but will hear Her voice and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

Joh 10:7-16 Yashayahnah therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 “I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture. 10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to slaughter, and to destroy. I have come that they might possess life, and that they might possess it beyond measure. 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12 “But the hireling, and not being a shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. 13 “Now the hireling flees because he is a hireling and is not concerned about the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd. And I know Mine, and Mine know Me, 15 even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd.

The Rose and Lily our Shepherd does not have a blemish on Her. The Messiah led a perfect life without sin.

Son 4:7 You are all fair, my love, and not a blemish is on you.

In an Epistle written by the taught one Kepha{Peter} he describes The Messiah as being without sin.

1Pe 2:21-25 For to this you were called, because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow Her steps, 22 “who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in Her mouth,” 23 who, being reviled, did not revile in return; suffering, did not threaten, but committed Herself to Her who judges righteously;  24 who Herself bore our sins in Her body on the timber, so that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness – by whose stripes you were healed. 25 For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your lives.

We are going to set The Song aside for a quick moment and take a short walk in a different direction. When we look at the names of the first two months of the Hebrew calendar we find another revelation involving the “rose blossoming”. The first month of the Hebrew ecclesiastical calendar year is called Abib/Aviv. Abib means “a fresh, ripe ear of barley” (The Complete Word Study Dictionary).

The month of Abib commences the New Year and occurs when the ripeness of barley and first fruits of YisraEl are ready to be reaped. For Elohim so loved the world, The Passover Lamb was impaled for the sins of evakind{peoplekind} and then was resurrected from the dead. This occurred in the month of Abib. The Messiah was the first fruit raised from the dead.

1Co 15:20  But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, and has become the first-fruit of those having fallen asleep.

The second month of the year provides us the link to a rose. The second month of the ecclesiastical calendar is Iyyar. Iyyar is derived from the Akkadian Semitic word “ayyaru” meaning “rosette; blossom”.

The first two month names of the Hebrew Calendar prophesized the “First Fruit and Rose Blossoming”. Once again we forge a strong relationship between the Rose and The Messiah.

While the relationship is strong let’s Seal it with a Kiss From A Rose

Turning to the “lily” in The Scriptures we find the lily was used in an ornamental or shape like fashion in the Hekal built by Shelomoh{Solomon}. The cleansing basin called a laver in the Hekal stood on twelve oxen with its rim shaped like a lily.

1Ki 7:25-26 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts were inward. And it was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.

The “lily” symbolizes the cleansing of sins by The Messiah. The Oxen are symbolic of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Shelomoh also built two columns on the porch of the Hekal. The columns named “Yakin” and “Boaz” also were crowned with lily work.

1Ki 7:21-22 And he set up the columns by the porch of the hĕḵal. And he set up the column on the right and called its name Yaḵin, and he set up the column on the left and called its name Boʽaz. And on the top of the columns was lily work. Thus the work of the columns was completed.

The lily work on the columns on the porch of the Hekal was symbolic or emblematic of The “Lily” Messiah to come. The ISBE tells us jā´kin (יכין, yākhīn) means “He will establish”. The BKC and Fausset’s Bible Dictionary writes that Boaz refers to “In it or Him is strength”. Boaz was a participant in the genealogy of The Messiah. Combining the names provides us with “He will establish him in strength”. Thus the columns with lily work predicted that “Yeshayahna would establish The Messiah in strength”. Adam Clarke in his commentary on the pillars writes;

“(Clarke: 1Ki 7:21 The right pillar – Jachin – That is, He shall establish. The left pillar – Boaz, that is, in strength. These were no doubt emblematical; for notwithstanding their names, they seem to have supported no part of the building.)”

The Rose and The Lily is part of the etymology of the same Hebrew name. The name is Shoshannah the Hebrew form of Susanna. Behind The Name provides us with the detail behind the etymology.

SUSANNA (From Behind the Name – the etymology and history of first names)

From Σουσαννα (Sousanna), the Greek form of the Hebrew name שׁוֹשַׁנָּה (Shoshannah). This was derived from the Hebrew word שׁוֹשָׁן (shoshan) meaning “lily” (in modern Hebrew this also means “rose”), perhaps ultimately from Egyptian sšn “lotus”. In the New Testament this is the name of a woman who ministered to Christ. It also occurs in the Old Testament Apocrypha as the name of a woman falsely accused of adultery. The prophet Daniel clears her name by tricking her accusers, who end up being condemned themselves

In the Messianic Scripture there is nothing written about Shoshannah who ministered to The Messiah. She is mentioned just once by name and there is nothing known about her in the scriptures or any historical documents.

Luk 8:1-3 And it came to be, afterward, that She went through every city and village, proclaiming and bringing the Good News of the reign of Elohim, and the twelve were with Him, 2 and certain women who were healed of wicked spirits and sicknesses: Miryam, called ‘from Maḡdala,’ out of whom had come seven demons, 3 and Yoḥanah the wife of Kuza, manager of Herodes, and Shoshannah, and many others who provided for Her from their resources.

In recent times there has been much made of Bible Code, so called hidden messages found in the Scrolls. In 1997, Michael Drosnin wrote a best seller entitled “The Bible Code” where he claimed the Hebrew Scrolls contained complex coding foretelling events that took place thousands of years later. The mention of “Shoshannah” above in Scripture just might be one of the ways the Messianic Scriptures was encoded to preserve a secret lost in the translation or deliberately veiled from us.

In the Scroll of Genesis we are told we were created in the image of Elohim both male and female.

Gen 1:26 And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.” 27 And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.

The male was created in the image of The Father and the female was created in the image of The Messiah. We also know that The Father and The Messiah are One.

Deu 6:4-5 “Hear, O Yisra’ĕl: Yeshayahna our Elohim, Yeshayahna is one! 5 “And you shall love Yeshayahna your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might.

The Hebrew Word for “one” is “echad”. We too become “One” when we marry. The same Hebrew word “Echad” is used for “One” when we become “One Flesh”.

Gen 2:21-25 So Yeshayahna Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 22 And the rib which Yeshayahna Elohim had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23 And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of man.” 24 For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, yet they were not ashamed.

Adam was created first and lived for a period of time without a companion. He was alone but Yeshayahna promised to create him a helper.

Gen 2:20 So the man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field. But for the man there was not found a helper for him, as his counterpart.

The creation of the woman is described in scripture symbolically. This is how Adam perceived and described the creation of woman to Yeshayahna. Adam now called her “woman” because he thought she had been taken out of him. The word man is a translation of the Hebrew word Adam. Adam called his companion Chavvah (Eve) which means “mother of all the living”. It is more appropriate for man and woman to be man and eve, male and female to be male and evale and men and woman to be men and eva to correct Adams misconception. Men have their own identity and Eva have their own identity. Since Eve comes from a name Chavvah that means “mother of all the living”, “mankind” should be “evakind”.

Now that we have our X&Y’s sorted out and put men and eva in their appropriate places which is how they will be named in the Millennial Sovereigndom ruled by The Messiah let’s share a song.

The way Adam described Eve’s creation, was in one way prophetical of things to come. The “entity” Adam was split into two components. Eve was described as coming from within Adam to be his helper. Likewise Elohim would be split into two components when the world needed a Messiah. The Messiah would leave The Father in heaven to teach us here on earth. Eve was deceived into sinning by Satan thus creating a need for a Messiah to pay the penalty for the sin of evakind. The Messiah would reject the temptations of Satan and Her impalement provides us the opportunity to reconcile with Elohim. Call it poetic justice, Eve committing the first sin and it is an Eve Daughter from heaven who has provided us with the opportunity to be saved and delivered from sin.

Let’s return to the Song of Songs and find additional prophecies linking The Rose and Lily, Our Messiah to Messianic events. Joh 3:16 “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Descendant Daughter, so that everyone who believes in Her should not perish but possess everlasting life” is (his banner over me was love). The spilt blood (house of wine) of His Daughter made atonement for the sins of the world. Our Messiah was lifted up to the right hand side of Our Father. In the Song of Songs Father Yeshayahna supports the head of The Messiah with His left hand and embraces her with His right hand.

Son 2:4-6 He brought me to the house of wine, And his banner over me was love. 5 “Strengthen me with raisin cakes, Refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.”6 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.

Another Psalm written by King David prophesized the resurrection of The Messiah Shoshannah to the right hand side of Father Yeshana and describes Her appointment as High Priest, Her battles to come and Her victory.

Psa 110:1-7 Yeshayahna said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” 2 Yeshayahna sends Your mighty sceptre out of Tsiyon. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! 3 Your people volunteer in the day of Your might, In the splendours of set-apartness! From the womb, from the morning, You have the dew of Your youth! 4 Yeshayahna has sworn and does not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Malkitseḏeq.” 5 Yeshayahna at Your right hand Shall smite sovereigns in the day of His wrath. 6 He judges among the nations, He shall fill the nations with dead bodies, He shall crush the Head over the mighty earth! 7 He drinks of the stream by the wayside, Therefore He does lift up the head!

We can only imagine the supreme love in that embrace (His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me) as They gaze upon the affairs of the world today. How they must desire and need our love in return and mourn the persecution and destruction of Their creation by a planet filled with inequity and iniquity. Their time is near and They will fix what we are destroying. They will save us from ourselves.

Mar 13:19-20 “For in those days there shall be distress, such as has not been from the beginning of creation which Elohim created until this time, nor ever shall be. 20 “And if the Master had not shortened those days, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen ones, whom She chose, She shortened the days.

There is a second reference to being resurrected to the place of honor, the right hand side of The Father in The Song. In this instance The Father is both a Mother and a Brother to The Messiah. This reference is important because it prophesizes an important relationship between us and The Messiah and consequently The Father. Once again the spilt blood of atonement by impalement on the stake is alluded to (I would give you spiced wine to drink). In this instance the teachings of love to The Messiah taught Her that giving one’s life up for others is the utmost measure of love. By doing so we can enjoy in Her fruitfulness (the juice of my pomegranate)

Son 8:1-3 Who would make you a brother to me, Who nursed at my mother’s breasts! Should I find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised. 2 I would lead you, I would bring you into the house of my mother, She who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, Of the juice of my pomegranate. 3 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand embraces me.

The Messiah taught that we are to deny ourselves in this world and follow Her. We are to make offerings (take up the stake) and if necessary be prepared to lose our life for Her sake. The reward will be worth more than gaining all the wealth in the world. True love is greater than any riches. Those who love, have faith and obey the Messiah and Father Yeshayahna will be blessed with more than they will ever need after The Second Coming.

Mat 16:24-27 Then Messiah said to Her taught ones, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let them deny themselves, and take up their stake, and follow Me. 25 “For whoever wishes to save their life shall lose it, and whoever loses their life for My sake shall find it. 26 “For what is a person profited if they gains all the world, and loses their own life? Or what shall a person give in exchange for their life? 27 “For the Descendant of Aḏam is going to come in the esteem of Her Father with Her messengers, and then She shall reward each according to their works.

The Father is a Brother and A Mother to The Messiah. If we do the Will of Elohim we will enjoy the same relationship becoming brothers, sisters or mothers to The Messiah.

Mar 3:31-35 And Her brothers and Her mother came, and standing outside they sent to Her, calling Her. 32 And a crowd was sitting around Her. And they said to Her, “See, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You.” 33 But She answered them, saying, “Who is My mother, or My brothers?” 34 And looking about on those sitting round Her, She said, “See My mother and My brothers!  35 “For whoever does the desire of Elohim is My brother and My sister and mother.”

The Epistle of The Hebrews describes the relationship between The Father and The Messiah. It further describes The Messiah’s ascendance to power over all the prophets of YisraEl, nations and messengers. In the Song of Songs it is mentioned twice that the left hand of Father Yeshana is under The Messiah’s head and His right hand embraces Her describing the intimacy of Their relationship.

Heb 1:1-14  Elohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by the Daughter, whom He has appointed heir of all, through whom also He made the ages, 3 who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of Her substance, and sustaining all by the word of Her power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Herself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high, 4 having become so much better than the messengers, as She has inherited a more excellent Name than them. 5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Daughter, today I have brought You forth”? And again, “I shall be to Her a Father, and She shall be to Me a Daughter”? 6 And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Her.” 7 And of the messengers indeed He says, “… who is making His messengers spirits and His servants a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Daughter He says, “Your throne, O Elohim, is forever and ever, a sceptre of straightness is the sceptre of Your reign. 9 “You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, Elohim, Your Elohim, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 10 And, “You, Master, did found the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. 11 “They shall perish, but You remain. And they shall all grow old like a garment, 12 and like a mantle You shall fold them up, and they shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail.” 13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”? 14 Are they not all serving spirits sent out to attend those who are about to inherit deliverance?

Returning to The Song (8:4-6) The Messiah now charges the Yehudah to not stir up love until it pleases The Father Yeshayahna. The Messiah ministered for over three years until The Father Yeshayahna “was pleased to awaken love” with Her impalement and resurrection (Verse 4). The Yehudah came out of the wilderness guided by Father Yeshayahna. The Father Yeshayahna and Messiah had chosen YisraEl to be Their people. They gave birth and labored with them as a nation. (Verse 5). The Messiah asks the Yehudah to set Her teachings, Torah and love as a seal upon their hearts and arms instead of living the Torah ritualistically without their hearts poured out to Father Yeshayahna. They were to prove their love for Father Yeshayahna and The Messiah. If they did not do so their love for their own ways and rejection of The Messiah was considered idolatry (Jealousy) and would bring tremendous judgment upon them. (Verse 6) Yah is the abbreviated Name for Father Yeshayahna and Messiah Yashayahnah.

Son 8:4-6 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, Do not stir up or awake love until it pleases. 5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in labor with you; There she was in labor, gave birth to you. 6 Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, a flame of Yah!

The Yehudah could not extinguish The Messiah’s love with their words. (Many waters are unable to extinguish love). Neither did the impalement wash Her love away. (And floods do not wash it away). True Love is Supreme and cannot be purchased. Those who try to purchase love are utterly scorned. (If one would give all the wealth of his house for love, It would be utterly scorned). Each of us is a growing child (little sister) of Elohim. We become fully grown (put on breasts) and mature by learning and implementing love, The Commands, Torah and The Word of Elohim in our lives.

Elohim then asks the question – What will They do for us at the day of our judgment (the day when she is spoken for)? If we have loved, obeyed and guarded The Commands, Torah and The Commands (If she is a wall) and opened our hearts (And if she is a door) to Elohim we will be rewarded with leadership authority and riches in the Millennial Sovereigndom ruled by a Queen (battlement of silver) along with fine houses (enclose her with boards of cedar). The Messiah feeds us (my breasts like towers) love, The Word, Torah and Commands. (I am a wall). Having completed the will of Father Yeshayahna She found peace at His right hand side.

Son 8:7-10 Many waters are unable to extinguish love, And floods do not wash it away. If one would give all the wealth of his house for love, It would be utterly scorned. 8 We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What do we do for our sister in the day when she is spoken for? 9 If she is a wall, we build upon her a battlement of silver. And if she is a door, we would enclose her with boards of cedar. 10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; So I became in his eyes as one who found peace.

Father Yeshana had provided a Sovereigndom to the YisraElites and to those gentiles who worshipped Elohim in Spirit and Truth. It was let out to them provided they paid tithes to, loved and obeyed Father Yeshana. (He let out the vineyard to keepers; Each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver). The Messiah having loved and completed the will of Father Yeshayahna has been given a vineyard of Her own – The Millennial Sovereigndom and reign over the world. (My own vineyard is before me). During the Millennial Sovereigndom will pay Her tithes to Father Yeshayahna. She will also share a portion of the Millennial Sovereigndom with those who are favored and resurrected as co-heirs with Her. (a thousand belongs to you, And two hundred to those who keep its fruit).

Those who are eternal (You who sit in the gardens) are priests and leaders to those born during the Millennial Sovereigndom (The companions listen for your voice). The Messiah wants to hear their voices provide guidance to those born during the Millennium. (Let me hear it!). The Messiah tells us that time is of the essence and to hurry in establishing a relationship with Elohim so as to become a participant in the Millennial Sovereigndom (Hurry, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of spices.)

Son 8:11-14 Shelomoh had a vineyard in Baʽal Hamon; He let out the vineyard to keepers; Each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver. 12 My own vineyard is before me. O Shelomoh, a thousand belongs to you, And two hundred to those who keep its fruit. 13 You who sit in the gardens, The companions listen for your voice; Let me hear it! 14 Hurry, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of spices.

We have already seen that The Rose and Lily is without blemish and we know The Messiah was without sin. The Song of Songs also calls Her “perfect” twice. The first instance begins with the beloved (us) describing the fruitfulness and joyfulness of Her cheeks behind a veil. This indicates that The Messiah wore a veil as would have been custom for a Yehudite woman to wear.

The beloved then mentions that there are other world leaders (sovereignesses), nonspiritual Yisraelites (concubines) and false gods or idols (maidens) to turn to. The Messiah (My dove) is without sin (perfect one). She is the only Daughter and Messiah of her mother Miryam and “meant the world” to her (choice of the one who bore her).

Miryam was called “blessed amongst women”. Leaders and nonspiritual Yisraelites who converted after the resurrection praised Miryam. (The daughters saw, and called her blessed, Sovereignesses and concubines, And they praised her).

The Messiah is compared to an awesome army who brings light to the world (shines forth as the morning). She is Master of the Sabbath which are determined by observation of the sun to track the beginning of a new year (clear as the sun) and the moon (Fair as the moon).

The beloved (us) then observed the world (garden of nuts) to see The Word of The Messiah taking effect in others (budding of the Wadi). The beloved looked to see if the “The Seed” planted by The Messiah turned into an  Assembly of The Messiah (to see whether the vine had budded) bringing fruitfulness and joy to the world (pomegranates had bloomed).

The beloved (us) are enraptured by the promises of The Messiah to reward leadership positions to those who obey and follow Her. (My desire made me as the chariots of my noble people).

The beloved (us) implore and beg Her four times to make Her Second Coming. (Return, return, O Shulammith; Return, return, and let us look upon you). The beloved then asks “Why should others follow (look upon) The Messiah?” and the answer is She is going to fight two battles (As it were the dance of two armies). The first battle has already been fought and won when The Messiah died for our sins and resurrected to heaven. The second battle is yet to be fought but will be won at Her Second Coming.

Son 6:7-13 Your cheeks behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate. 8 There are sixty sovereignesses and eighty concubines, And innumerable maidens. 9 My dove, my perfect one, Is the only one, the only one of her mother, The choice of the one who bore her. The daughters saw, and called her blessed, Sovereignesses and concubines, And they praised her. 10 Who is she who shines forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners? 11 I went down to the garden of nuts To see the budding of the wadi, To see whether the vine had budded and the pomegranates had bloomed. 12 I did not know, my desire made me as the chariots of my noble people. 13 Return, return, O Shulammith; Return, return, and let us look upon you! Why should you look upon the Shulammith, As it were the dance of two armies?

The next instant of “perfect” we are going to study comes into play earlier in The Song and is a section of eight verses which we are going to study one verse at a time. First we will read them in their totality.

Son 5:1-8 I have come to my garden, My sister, my bride; I have plucked my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, and drink deeply, O beloved ones! 2 I was sleeping, But my heart was awake – the voice of my beloved! He knocks, “Open for me, my sister, My love, my dove, my perfect one; For my head is drenched with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.” 3 I have taken off my robe, should I put it on? I have washed my feet, should I dirty them? 4 My beloved put his hand by the latch, And my feelings were deeply moved for him. 5 I rose to open for my beloved, And my hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock.6 I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away, had gone. My being went out when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. 7 The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they bruised me; The keepers of the walls lifted my veil from me. 8 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, If you find my beloved, That you inform him that I am faint with love!

In verse 1 Father Yeshayahna has visited the earth (I have come to my garden) by sending His Sister, my bride The Messiah. This was recorded in the Gospel of Yohanan.

Joh 3:16 “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Daughter, so that everyone who believes in Her should not perish but possess everlasting life.

Father Yeshayahna prepares the savoring anointment for the sweet smelling offering of The Messiah (I have plucked my myrrh with my spice). The land of milk and honey is the Promised Land. Milk is also symbolic of life in that it is what sustains us in infancy. The Father drinks wine (spilt blood symbolical of the spilt blood of The Messiah for the atonement of sin) having already supplied us with the milk of the life through the giving of The Word by The Messiah. He invites us, His beloved ones to return His love and the love of The Messiah by drinking deeply of the wine and milk so we can be invited to the Promised Land. Those who do the Will of Elohim will receive eternal life in the Promised Land.

Son 5:1 I have come to my garden, My sister, my bride; I have plucked my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends! Drink, and drink deeply, O beloved ones!

Father Yeshayahna is in heaven. The Messiah is on earth. She is separated from heaven (I am sleeping). She responds to the voice of Father Yeshayahna to do His Will on earth. She loves Her Father Yeshayahna with all Her Heart mind and soul. (But my heart was awake). She hears His call (Open for me, my sister, My love, my dove, my perfect one) to share The Word of The Father (For my head is drenched with dew). She will choose who to bring out of the darkness into the light and reveal The Father Yeshayahna (My locks with the drops of the night).

Son 5:2 I was sleeping, But my heart was awake – the voice of my beloved! He knocks, “Open for me, my sister, My love, my dove, my perfect one; For my head is drenched with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.”

Mat 11:27 “All have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Daughter except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Daughter, and those to whom the Daughter wishes to reveal Him.

The Messiah asks Her Father Yeshayahna is it time to offer Herself for the sins of evakind (Should I put my robe on and dirty my feet)?

Son 5:3 I have taken off my robe, should I put it on? I have washed my feet, should I dirty them?

The verse above foreshadowed a prayer made to Father Yeshayahna shortly before the events leading to the impalement. It is a beautiful prayer – maybe the most beautiful prayer in scripture.

Joh 17:1-26 Messiah said these words, and lifted up Her eyes to the heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come. Esteem Your Descendant Daughter, so that Your Descendant Daughter also might esteem You, 2 as You have given Her authority over all flesh, that She should give everlasting life to all whom You have given Her. 3 “And this is everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true Elohim, and Messiah whom You have sent. 4 “I have esteemed You on the earth, having accomplished the work You have given Me that I should do. 5 “And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with the esteem which I had with You before the world was. 6 “I have revealed Your Name to those whom You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your Word. 7 “Now they have come to know that all You gave to Me, is from You. 8 “Because the Words which You gave to Me, I have given to them. And they have received them, and have truly known that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me. 9 “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 “And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I have been esteemed in them. 11 “And I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Set-apart Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, as We are. 12 “When I was with them in the world, I was guarding them in Your Name which You have given Me, and I watched over them, and not one of them perished except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be filled. 13 “And now I come to You. And I speak these words in the world, so that they have My joy completed in them. 14 “I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 15 “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You keep them from the wicked one. 16 “They are not of the world, as I am not of the world. 17 “Set them apart in Your truth – Your Word is truth. 18 “As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world. 19 “And for them I set Myself apart, so that they too might be set apart in truth. 20 “And I do not pray for these alone, but also for those believing in Me through their word, 21 so that they all might be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so that they too might be one in Us, so that the world might believe that You have sent Me. 22 “And the esteem which You gave Me I have given them, so that they might be one as We are one, 23 “I in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me. 24 “Father, I desire that those whom You have given Me, might be with Me where I am, so that they see My esteem which You have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 “O righteous Father, indeed the world did not know You, but I knew You, and these knew that You sent Me. 26 “And I have made Your Name known to them, and shall make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me might be in them, and I in them.”

The “son of destruction” above is Yehudah from Qerioth (Judas Iscariot) who turned The Messiah over to the priests for 30 pieces of silver. Those who pick up their stakes (offer themselves) to follow The Messiah belongs to The Messiah and The Father. Those who deny The Messiah or refuse to be obedient may as well be children of the son of destruction.

In verse 4 The Messiah’s beloved Father Yeshayahna comes to the door of Her heart (put his hand by the latch). She is deeply in love (moved) with Father Yeshayahna.

Son 5:4 My beloved put his hand by the latch, And my feelings were deeply moved for him.

In verse 5 Myrrh is symbolic for suffering. The Messiah rises to open the door for Her Father Yeshayahna prepared to be impaled. Her hands and fingers are dripping with blood. She is ready to come out (On the handles of the lock) for the impalement.

Son 5:5 I rose to open for my beloved, And my hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock.

Mat 27:22-23 Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Messiah?” They all said to him, “Let Her be impaled!” 23 And the governor said, “Indeed, what evil has She done?” And they were crying out all the more, saying, “Let Her be impaled!”

The Messiah opened the door but Father Yeshayahna had withdrawn Himself to heaven. She sought Him out but when The Messiah was nailed to the stake and bearing our sins The Father had to turn His back on sin. While on the stake She had felt forsaken by Him and called out to Father Yeshayahna to ask why.

Son 5:6 I opened for my beloved, But my beloved had turned away, had gone. My being went out when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

Mat 27:46 And about the ninth hour Messiah cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?”

Luk 23:46 And crying out with a loud voice, Messiah said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” And having said this, She breathed Her last.

Verse 8 covers two events of the day. The first is the Roman soldiers whipping and mocking The Messiah. This was followed by them casting lots for Her clothing and unveiling Her nakedness on the stake. The second event covered by the verse is the ripping of the veil in the Hekal thus giving all of us direct access to Father Yeshayahna in heaven.

Son 5:7 The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they bruised me; The keepers of the walls lifted my veil from me.

Mat 27:33-51 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull, 34 they gave Her wine mixed with bile to drink. And after tasting, She would not drink it. 35 And having impaled Her, they divided Her garments, casting lots, that it might be filled what was spoken by the prophet, “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” 36 And sitting down, they guarded Her there. 37 And they put up over Her head the written charge against Her: THIS IS MESSIAH, THE SOVEREIGN OF THE YEHUḎIM. 38 Then two robbers were impaled with Her, one on the right and another on the left. 39 And those passing by were blaspheming Her, shaking their heads, 40 and saying, “You who destroy the Dwelling Place and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Descendant Daughter of Elohim, come down from the stake.” 41 And likewise the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocking, said, 42 “She saved others – She is unable to save Herself. If She is the Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, let Her now come down from the stake, and we shall believe Her. 43 “She trusted in Elohim, let Him rescue Her now if He desires Her, for She said, ‘I am the Descendant Daughter of Elohim.’ ” 44 And also the robbers who were impaled with Her reviled Her, saying the same. 45 And from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land, until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Messiah cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Ěli, Ěli, lemah sheḇaqtani?” that is, “My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me?” 47 Some of those standing there, having heard, said, “This One calls Ěliyahu!” 48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, and filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave it to Her to drink. 49 But the rest said, “Leave it, let us see if Ěliyahu comes to save Her.” 50 And Messiah cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up Her spirit. 51 And see, the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split, 52 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the set-apart ones who had fallen asleep were raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after Her resurrection, they went into the set-apart city and appeared to many. 54 And when the captain and those with him, who were guarding Messiah, saw the earthquake and all that took place, they feared exceedingly, saying, “Truly this was the Descendant Daughter of Elohim!”

In Verse 8 The Messiah has now paid for the sins of evakind and has charged those who witnessed Her sacrifice (the Daughters of Yerushalayim) with spreading Her love and The Word to Her beloved around the world.

Son 5:8 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, If you find my beloved, That you inform him that I am faint with love!

The Song of Songs is a very beautiful and poetic love song for the ages and eternity. There are more revelations to be found with further study. There is another account of the impalement during which the sun was darkened (my bed at night), actions of the roman soldiers (The watchmen) and rejection by Father Yeshayahna (I sought him, but I did not find him). In this instance The Messiah is resurrected to Her beloved in heaven, The Father (When I found the beloved of my being. I held him and would not let him go.) Heaven is symbolized by (Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the room of her who conceived me.)

Son 3:1-4 On my bed at night I sought the beloved of my being; I sought him, but I did not find him. 2 “Come, let me arise, and go about the city, In the streets and in the broad places I seek the beloved of my being.” I sought him, but I did not find him. 3 The watchmen who go about the city found me, to whom I said, “Have you seen the beloved of my being?” 4 Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the beloved of my being. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the room of her who conceived me.

The particular moment when The Messiah stood before Father Yeshayahna having completed atoning for our sins cannot be adequately described. Each of us can do our best to imagine the power of love in The Embrace of Their Reunion. We couldn’t possibly imagine the love that flowed between them. If we were capable of capturing that moment far fewer of us would have turned our backs on the impalement and the opportunity we have been given for eternal peaceful life. They are still together in embraceable love and They love us more than anyone can possibly imagine. They will part again soon when the Second Coming of The Messiah subdues the enemies of Elohim and brings Her reign of the Millennium Sovereigndom.

Let’s now go to the beginning of The Song and see what else we can uncover about The Love of Father Yeshayahna for His Daughter Bride Our Messiah and Their Love for us.

Son 1:1 The song of songs, which is Shelomoh’s.

Adam Clarke in commenting on the opening of The Song writes that “The rabbins consider this superior to all songs. Ten songs, says the Tarpon, have been sung; but this excels them all. He goes onto write that the song is “sung in the spirit of prophecy by Solomon. So simply put The Song could be re-titled

“The Love Song of Father Yeshayahna  and The Messiah for Their Beloved”

In the second verse The Messiah desires the love of Father Yeshayahna. His love is eternal and better than wine. The longer fine wine ages the better it is. Oil in scripture is symbolic of our anointing by the Set-Apart Spirit. We are anointed in The Set-Apart Spirit when we repent, accept The Messiah as Our Savior and commit to worshipping Elohim in Spirit and Truth. We (maidens) love Father Yeshayahna for His love that comes to us through His Set-Apart Spirit.

Son 1:2-3 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, For your loves are better than wine. 3 For fragrance your oils are good. Your name is oil poured forth, Therefore the maidens love you.

Joh 3:5 Messiah answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he is unable to enter into the reign of Elohim.

Joh 14:26 “But the Helper, the Set-apart Spirit, whom the Father shall send in My Name, He shall teach you all, and remind you of all that I said to you.

The Messiah asks Father Yeshayahna to call on Her (Draw me). She then speaks on our behalf calling us to worship (run after) Father Yeshayahna. The Messiah has been in heaven with Father Yeshayahna (The Sovereign has brought me into his inner rooms). The Messiah then expresses Her wish for everybody to love, exult, praise and rejoice in Father Yeshayahna because it is absolutely the righteous thing to do so (We exult and rejoice in you. We praise your loves more than wine. Rightly do they love you).

Son 1:4 Draw me! We run after you. The sovereign has brought me into his inner rooms. We exult and rejoice in you. We praise your loves more than wine. Rightly do they love you.

The Messiah then reveals to the Yehudah (O daughters of Yerushalayim) that She is a lady of color (I am dark, but lovely). The people of Qedar are nomads whose tents were made of black goats’ hair and the curtains of Shelemoh were purple possibly black. (Like the tents of Qedar, Like the curtains of Shelemoh). We are not to put down The Messiah because She is black (Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me). The Yehudah’s discriminated against Her (My mother’s sons were displeased with me). They treated Her like a farm worker in a vineyard but she wasn’t a farm worker (They made me the keeper of the vineyards, My own vineyard I have not kept). She was and still is Shepherd of the Flock. The Messiah asks the Yehudah (O you whom my being loves) where is it that their flock is shepherded (Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon). She wants to know why She is hidden from them and their companion flocks as their Shepherd (For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions?). They reply tongue in cheek by telling Her to follow in the footsteps of the rabbis or priests and go teach the gentiles (Go in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats beside the shepherds’ dwellings).

Son 1:5-8 I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Yerushalayim, Like the tents of Qĕḏar, Like the curtains of Shelomoh. 6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were displeased with me. They made me the keeper of the vineyards, My own vineyard I have not kept. 7 Make known to me, O you whom my being loves, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions? 8 If you do not know, O fairest among women, Go in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats beside the shepherds’ dwellings.

Now others interested in The Messiah compare Her to their rabbi or priest (filly) who is teaching an assembly (chariots) in a city ruled by a politician (Pharaoh-Pontius Pilate). (I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots). They see She comes with good tidings (Your cheeks are pretty with ornaments). Woman wore necklaces to let others know they were betrothed or married. They see She wants to be married to them (Your neck with strings of beads). They want to please Her (Let us make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver). While the Yehudah’s High Priest rules his nest (While the sovereign is at his table); The Messiah’s Spirit feeds those who love Her (My nard shall give its fragrance).

Son 1:9-12 I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots. 10 Your cheeks are pretty with ornaments, Your neck with strings of beads. 11 Let us make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver. 12 While the sovereign is at his table, My nard shall give its fragrance.

The Messiah’s beloved (us) are ones who She feels sorrow for (My beloved is a bundle of myrrh to me).  She offers us hope in life through the teaching of The Word (Lying between my breasts). Her beloved acknowledges that She is the source of eternal life in paradise (My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi). We accept Her as Our Messiah and Savior (See, you are fair, my love! See, you are fair!). The Messiah is anointed in the Set-Apart Spirit (Your eyes are as doves). The Messiah then praises Her beloved (See, you are handsome, my beloved! Yea pleasant!) and promises us marriage (Also our bed is green). She also promises us fine houses or mansions (The beams of our houses are cedar, our rafters are of fir).

Son 1:13-17 My beloved is a bundle of myrrh to me, Lying between my breasts. 14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of Ěn Geḏi. 15 See, you are fair, my love! See, you are fair! Your eyes are as doves. 16 See, you are handsome, my beloved! Yea, pleasant! Also our bed is green. 17 The beams of our houses are cedar, our rafters are of fir.

Let’s now return to the point in The Song where those who witnessed the impalement and resurrection of The Messiah were put under an oath to spread the gospel and the news of Her to others (Her beloved).

Son 5:8 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, If you find my beloved, That you inform him that I am faint with love!

The witnesses now having accepted Her as Messiah (O fairest among women) then ask The Messiah to describe what kind of person is Her beloved and what promises should they make to the people they teach The Word to.

Son 5:9 What kind of a beloved is your beloved, O fairest among women? What kind of a beloved is your beloved, That you have put us under oath?

The Messiah then describes the magnificence and royalty of Her beloved in The Millennial Sovereigndom. They will have accepted the teachings and obeyed The Word of The Messiah resulting in being favored with eternal life. They will have shared Her Word and offering of Her life with others. (His lips are lilies, dripping flowing myrrh.) This description applies to all of us who learn and come to worship Elohim in spirit and truth.

Son 5:10-16 My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, Chief among ten thousand. 11 His head is refined gold; His locks are wavy, black as a raven. 12 His eyes are like doves by streams of waters, Washed with milk, and fitly set. 13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices, Raised bed of scented plants. His lips are lilies, dripping flowing myrrh. 14 His hands are rods of gold set with beryl. His body is carved ivory, covered with sapphires. 15 His legs are columns of marble Founded on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Leḇanon, Choice as the cedars. 16 His mouth is most sweet, And he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Yerushalayim!

The fourth chapter of The Song begins with the beloved accepting The Messiah as their lover. (See, you are fair, my love! See, you are fair!). She was baptized by the Set-Apart Spirit (eyes are as doves) and as is custom wears a veil. She is Shepherd of the gentiles (hair is like a flock of goats).

Son 4:1 See, you are fair, my love! See, you are fair! Your eyes are as doves behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats, Going down from Mount Gilʽaḏ.

The Messiah shapes gentiles into followers (a flock of shorn sheep) by cleansing and baptizing them (which have come up from the washing) with Her Word turning them into fruitful human beings who love their own (All of them bear twins, and not one loses her young). Her Word would lead to Her being offered for sin (Your lips are like a cord of scarlet) despite The Word being capable of leading us to eternal life (And your speech is lovely). She is the source of fruitfulness (Your cheeks behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate). She is our Rock and Deliverer (verse 4). She feeds her young (fawns) who spend time listening to and implementing Her Word (pasturing among the lilies) becoming fully grown (gazelle). The beloved then says until the day of The Second Coming when light comes back into the world and evil is conquered (Until the day breaks and the shadows have fled); We will pick up our stake and follow The Messiah (I shall go my way to the mountain of myrrh) and become favored for The Millennial Sovereigndom (And to the hill of frankincense).

Son 4:2-6 Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing, All of them bear twins, and not one loses her young. 3 Your lips are like a cord of scarlet, And your speech is lovely. Your cheeks behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate. 4 Your neck is like the tower of Dawiḏ, Built for an armoury, On which hang a thousand shields, All the armour of mighty men. 5 Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle, pasturing among the lilies. 6 Until the day breaks and the shadows have fled, I shall go my way to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.

She is without sin (not a blemish is on you). Her beloved (us) is in love with Her and wants to show Her the world. (Come with me from Lebanon, My bride, with me from Lebanon. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Ḥermon, From the dens of lions, From the mountains of the leopards). She has taught true love to Her beloved (You have put heart into me). She has given Her beloved knowledge and insight (With one glance of your eyes). The beloved finds Her righteousness to be proud of (With one bead of your necklace).

The beloved is overwhelmed by the love of their Bride, Sister and Messiah (How sweet have been your loves, My sister, my bride!). Their relationship is eternal (How much better than wine are your loves). There was no love greater than the offering of Her life for the sins of Her beloved (And the fragrance of your perfumes than all spices).

Son 4:7-10 You are all fair, my love, and not a blemish is on you. 8 Come with me from Leḇanon, My bride, with me from Leḇanon. Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Shenir and Ḥermon, From the dens of lions, From the mountains of the leopards. 9 You have put heart into me, My sister, my bride; You have put heart into me With one glance of your eyes, With one bead of your necklace. 10 How sweet have been your loves, My sister, my bride! How much better than wine are your loves, And the fragrance of your perfumes than all spices!

The Word of The Messiah is the source of eternal life in the Millennial Sovereigndom for Her beloved (Your lips, O my bride, drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue). Her robes of righteousness are like the natural fragrances found in Lebanon. (And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon). The Messiah holds the keys to the rewards of eternal life in the Millennial Kingdom. (A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A fountain locked, a spring sealed up). Her eternal garden is fruitful containing many fruits, sweet smelling plants, herbs and spices. (A garden spring, A well of living waters, And streams from Lebanon).

Son 4:11-15 Your lips, O my bride, drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue. And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Leḇanon. 12 A garden locked is my sister, my bride, A fountain locked, a spring sealed up. 13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with pleasant fruits, With henna, nard, 14 Nard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, With all the chief spices; 15 A garden spring, A well of living waters, And streams from Leḇanon.

The last chapter in The Scrolls of Scriptures found in the Scroll of Revelation begins with its own description of the garden.

Rev 22:1-3 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And no longer shall there be any curse, and the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and Her servants shall serve Her.

The Messiah calls upon the wind to bring rain (Awake, O north wind, and come, O south!) to irrigate the garden so Her beloved can enjoy the fruits of eternal life.

Son 4:16 Awake, O north wind, and come, O south! Blow upon my garden, let its spices flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.

Let’s move back to the second chapter of The Song. The Messiah asks the Yehudah to justify Her love (I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim) just like the gazelles or does of the field do not awaken love until it pleases (By the gazelles or by the does of the field). Her Love is not to be stirred up until it pleases Father Yeshana. (Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases). The Messiah hears the voice of Her Beloved Father Yeshayahna. This time Father Yeshayahna is responsible for resurrecting Her to heaven. She was impaled, died and placed in a tomb. Father Yeshayahna (See, he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills. My beloved is like a gazelle, or like a young stag) approaches to come and resurrect Her. He is standing in heaven (behind our wall) looking at earth below (Looking through the windows, Peering through the lattice). He calls for Her to resurrect (Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away). Her tribulations, persecution and all the horrifying events of the impalement are over (For look, the winter is past, the rain is over, gone). It is a time of celebration on earth (The flowers have appeared in the earth; The time of singing has come). The voice of The Messiah has been heard in the land and The Set-apart Spirit have been sent to the earth (And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land).

Son 2:7-12 I have put you under oath, O daughters of Yerushalayim, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases. 8 The voice of my beloved! See, he is coming, Leaping on the mountains, skipping on the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or like a young stag. See, he is standing behind our wall, Looking through the windows, Peering through the lattice. 10 My beloved responded and said to me, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 “For look, the winter is past, the rain is over, gone. 12 “The flowers have appeared in the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.

Father Yeshayahna continues to describe Her resurrection and ascension into heaven in glowing terms. As a result of the resurrection there are Yehudah believers (The fig tree has ripened her figs) and gentile believers (And the vines have given a good fragrance). Father Yeshayahna is looking forward to seeing Her lovely appearance and hearing the sweetness of Her voice. The world is made a footstool for Her feet (Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that spoil the vines) allowing for Their children to blossom (And our vines are all blossom). Father Yeshayahna and The Messiah are One (My beloved is mine, and I am his). Father Yeshayahna has called his own to hear The Word of The Messiah. (He feeds his flock among the lilies). The Messiah then asks Her Beloved (us) to turn to Her before the day of Father Yeshayahna’s wrath (Until day breaks and the shadows have fled) and love Her and Father Yeshayahna the way They love each other (And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of Bether)

Son 2:13-17 “The fig tree has ripened her figs, And the vines with the tender grapes have given a good fragrance. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away! 14 “O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the covering of the cliff, Let me see your appearance, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your appearance is lovely.” 15 Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that spoil the vines, And our vines are all blossom. 16 My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies. 17 Until the day breaks and the shadows have fled, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle or a young stag On the mountains of Bether.

We pick up the next sequence of events in the third chapter of The Song. To set the scene lets pick up some verses from The Scroll of Revelation. The Millennium is earth under perfect conditions, no wars, no illnesses, and all the nations are under the rule of The Messiah. The earth is heavily populated in all the nations. At the end of the Millennium Satan is set free to test their loyalty to Elohim. Even though Satan has been restricted from influencing the world for a thousand years human beings still have carnal hearts and are subject to rebellion despite knowing the truth of Elohim.

Rev 20:7-9 And when the thousand years have ended, Satan shall be released from his prison, 8 and he shall go out to lead the nations astray which are in the four corners of the earth, Goḡ and Maḡoḡ, to gather them together for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they came up over the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the set-apart ones and the beloved city. And fire came down from Elohim out of the heaven and consumed them.

In The Song those on earth ask “Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like columns of smoke”. It is Father Yeshayahna coming on His throne protected by sixty of the finest soldiers in YisraEl. They are ready to do battle with Satan and his new army who have brought fear to Yerushalayim (Because of fear in the night). The Father wins the battle and now the Set-Apart Ones of the New Yerushalayim can welcome Him into the city. He will take the hand of His Bride, Our Messiah in marriage in front of all His children.

Son 3:6-11 Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like columns of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, From all the merchant’s fragrant powders?: 7 See, it is Shelomoh’s couch – Sixty mighty men are around it, Of the mighty men of Yisra’ĕl, 8 All of them holding swords, Skilled in battle, Each one has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night. 9 Sovereign Shelomoh made himself A litter of the wood of Leḇanon; 10 He made its posts of silver, Its support of gold, its seat of purple, Within it was decked with love By the daughters of Yerushalayim. 11 Go forth, O daughters of Tsiyon, And see Sovereign Shelomoh with the crown With which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, And on the day of his gladness of heart.

Rev 21:3-4 And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, “See, the Booth of Elohim is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them and be their Elohim. 4 “And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying. And there shall be no more pain, for the former matters have passed away.”

We have covered many of the prophecies hidden in the Song of Songs. Thanks to the Song we are able to reveal the true gender and color of The Messiah that has been masked from us for centuries. We have also uncovered a name associated with the rose and lily flower Shoshanah.

There is an apocryphal writing that documents the tale of a beautiful wife and two voyeurs. Her name was Shoshannah. The writing was added as an additional chapter (#13) to the Scroll of DaniEl (whose name means “Judgment of or by El”) by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. It is not part of the Tanakh but is considered by the Yehudah to be a story of morality.

Shoshannah was the wife of a wealthy man. One day while in her garden she sent her attendants away and took a bath. Two Yehudah elders were hidden in the garden coveting her nakedness while she took her bath. After completing her bath the elders accosted her threatening to blackmail her unless she slept with them. They threatened to accuse her of meeting a young lover in the garden and committing adultery. A person convicted for adultery received the death penalty in those days. In that time only two witnesses were needed to convict somebody of a crime. She refused to sleep with them and they followed through with their threat and had her arrested and charged with adultery.

She was found guilty based upon their testimony and sent to death. On the way to her execution, DaniEl happened by and demanded to cross examine the accusers. He interrogated each of them separately asking each of them which tree Shoshannah and her lover had committed adultery under. Each man answered with a different tree type.  They were obvious liars and Shoshannah was set free. The two elders were put to death instead. So what makes this so interesting?

The story can now be viewed as a prophecy of The Messiah’s trial. She was falsely accused and impaled upon a tree. The Messiah triumphed through the resurrection and ascension to the right hand side of Father Yeshana. She was innocent and those responsible for falsely putting the innocent Messiah to death faced a harsh death of their own.

Forty or so years after the impalement the Hekal and Yerushalayim was destroyed and many Yehudah died. Those that survived were dispersed into the world and the nation was lost for almost 1900 years. YisraEl was restored in 1948.

A few scriptural questions are posed in quick succession in the Scroll of Proverbs.

Pro 30:4 Who has gone up to the heavens and come down?

Who has gathered the wind in His fists?

Who has bound the waters in a garment?

Who established all the ends of the earth?

What is His Name,

And what is His Descendant Child’s Name, If you know it?

There are very few interested in attempting to answer the questions above. For one thing there probably isn’t anyone alive on the planet who knows the in’s and out’s of, and can correctly pronounce Our Father in heaven’s Name. Most Christians especially Roman Catholics are unanimous on who the Queen of Heaven Is. For them it is Mary, a transliteration of the Hebrew Name Miryam. So is it Queen Mary or Queen Miryam? The Child’s Name is the one every Christian and many non Christians know as “Jesus Christ” except for a handful of “Restore-The-Name” folks who have put forward their own opinions. In Islam “Isa” is the name given to “Jesus” who is considered a prophet and not the descendant of Elohim.

Who is the Name Above All Names?

The taught one Sha’ul in a letter to the Philippians provides us our answer.

Php 2:9-11 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Her and given Her the Name which is above every name, that 10 at the Name of YASHAYAHNAH every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and every tongue should confess that YASHAYAHNAH Messiah is Master, to the esteem of Elohim the Father.

The Messiah is the Name above every Name but what is the Name of The Messiah? Let’s look at a few different Bible translations.

(AMP)  She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus [the Greek form of the Hebrew Joshua, which means Savior], for He will save His people from their sins [that is, prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God].

(CJB)  She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Yeshua, [which means 'Adonai saves,'] because he will save his people from their sins.”

(The Scriptures ’98+) “And she shall give birth to a Son, and you shall call His Name יהושע for He shall save¹ His people from their sins.” Footnote: ¹This is the precise meaning of the Heḇrew of His Name.

Summary of additional notes from The Preface of The Scriptures ‘98+ Translation. The Messiah’s Name in Hebrew, יהושע was chosen {for use in the text of The Scriptures Translation} in order to avoid controversy. All the available authoritative sources and references are in agreement and clearly admit that our Messiah’s Name was יהושע (see for instance even Kittel’s Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, under Iesous). However, while some believe that this spelling should be pronounced in the traditional way, i.e. “Yehoshua” others influenced by the Murashu Text suggest the pronunciation “Yahushua”.

Some of the answers above are Joshua, Yeshua, Jesus, Yehoshua and Yahushua. The underlying Greek Word in Strong’s Greek Dictionary translated to “Jesus” is “Iesous”.

G2424

Ἰησοῦς

Iēsous

ee-ay-sooce’

Of Hebrew origin [H3091]; Jesus (that is, Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites: – Jesus.

Add Jehoshua to the mix of names above. Let’s look at the underlying Hebrew Word driving the Greek name Iesous.

H3091

יהושׁע    יהושׁוּע

y^ehôshûa‛  y^ehôshûa‛

yeh-ho-shoo’-ah, yeh-ho-shoo’-ah

From H3068 and H3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (that is, Joshua), the Jewish leader: – Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare H1954, H3442.

Comment: There is no way Iesous (Ee-ay-sooce) sounds like Yeh-ho-shoo’-ah, Joshua, Yeshua and Yahushua. It doesn’t take much to create a controversy around The Name Above All Names now does it? When transliterating from one language into another there is the additional risk of the translators syncretizing a name into a name recognized by the receiving culture. In this instance the Greek’s and Roman’s had many gods or mighty ones of their own. It is much easier to convert a culture to a new religion or belief system if their gods and mighty one’s are given credit for the teachings, miracles and resurrection of a Messiah who was Jewish. Another Name associated with The Messiah is “Christ”!

Mat 1:1(KJV+)  The book^G976 of the generation^G1078 of Jesus^G2424 Christ,^G5547 the son^G5207 of David,^G1138 the son^G5207 of Abraham.^G11

Let’s look at Strong’s Greek Dictionary to see how “Christ” was derived.

G5547

Χριστός

Christos

khris-tos’

From G5548; anointed, that is, the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: – Christ.

Let’s look at G5548 since that’s what the word “Christos” is rooted in.

G5548

χρίω

chriō

khree’-o

Probably akin to G5530 through the idea of contact; to smear or rub with oil, that is, (by implication) to consecrate to an office or religious service: – anoint.

The question we must explore is – “Is Jesus just a bad translation or transliteration of a Hebrew name or was there something more sinister at work in coming up with The Name Above All Names”? The answer is “Yes” there was something abominably sinister at work – it is called Syncretism. Syncretism means the name “Iesous” was a derivation from, in whole or in part from the names of gods within the Greek and Roman pagan world of worship. Thus a writer of the Gospels used syncretism to encourage and make it easier for those worshiping other gods or mighty one’s to convert to Christianity. Is their a Greek “god” consistent with Iesous? Yes!

In the book “Come Out of Her My People” written by C.J. Koster he finds three different sources which link “Iesous” to the Greek healing goddess Ieso (Iaso).  (pages 62-63);

“In Bux and Schone, Worterbuch der Antike, under “Jesus,” we read, “JESUS: really named Jehoshua. Iesous (Greek), Iesus (Latin) is adapted from the Greek, possibly from the name of a Greek healing goddess Ieso (Iaso).”

Like all authoritative sources, this dictionary admits to the real true Name of our Savior: Jehoshua (or as we believe: Yahushua). It then states, as most others, that the commonly known substitute, non-original, non-real name “Jesus” was adapted from the Greek. We must remember that our Saviour was born from a Hebrew maiden, not from a Greek one. His stepfather, His half-brothers and half-sisters, in fact all His people, were Hebrews (Jews). Furthermore, this dictionary then traces the substitute name back to the Latin Iesus, and the Greek Iesous. It then traces the origin of the name Iesous back as being possibly adapted from the Greek healing goddess Ieso (Iaso).

To the uninformed I would like to point out that Iaso is the usual Greek form, while Ieso is from the Ionic dialect of the Greeks.

This startling discovery of the connection between Ieso (Iaso) and Iesous, is also revealed to us by the highly respected and authoritative unabridged edition of Liddell and Scott, Greek-English Lexicon, p. 816, under “Iaso.”

The third witness comes to us in a scholarly article by Hans Lamar in Philologische Wochenschrift, No 25, 21 June 1930, pp. 763-765. In this article the author recalls the fact of Ieso being the Ionic Greek goddess of healing. Hans Lamer then postulates, because of all the evidence, that “next to Ieso man shaped a proper masculine Iesous. This was even more welcome to the Greeks who converted to Christianity.” He then continues, “If the above is true, then the name of our Lord which we commonly use goes back to a long lost form of the name of a Greek goddess of healing. But to Greeks who venerated a healing goddess Ieso, a saviour Iesous must have been most acceptable. The Hellenisation was thus rather clever.”

This then is the evidence of three sources who, like us, do not hide the fact of the Greek name Iesous being related to Ieso, the Greek goddess of healing. The Hellenization of our Saviour’s Name was indeed most cleverly done. To repeat our Saviour’s words of warning in John 5:43, “I have come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive.”

Iaso was also thought to be a demigod meaning the goddess had one parent who was a god and another parent who was human. This is consistent with The Messiah’s birth.

C.J. Kostner’s research of the Latinized name for Our Messiah “Ihsous”, shows that it is the Roman version of syncretizing the Greek name to the Egyptian goddess of rebirth, Isis. Thus the Latinized name encouraged the conversion of Romans who worshipped Isis into following The Messiah. These syncretizations to female goddesses happened for a reason. The reason simply being The Messiah was and is a evale/female. The Greeks and Romans had many other male gods they could have related The Messiah to but chose to syncretize Her to an evale goddess.

The Greeks had a word for Messiah which is used only twice in the King James Version of The Scriptures and yet the Greeks used “Christos” as a substitute 569 times. The Greek word for Messiah is Messias which occurs just twice in Messianic Scripture.

Joh 1:41(KJV+)  He^G3778 first^G4413 findeth^G2147 his own^G2398 brother^G80 Simon,^G4613 and^G2532 saith^G3004 unto him,^G846 We have found^G2147 the^G3588 Messias,^G3323 which is,^G3603 being interpreted,^G3177 the^G3588 Christ.^G5547

Is there a reason “Christos” was used so many more times than “Messias”?

G3323

Μεσσίας

Messias

mes-see’-as

Of Hebrew origin [H4899]; the Messias (that is, Mashiach), or Christ: – Messias.

C. J. Koster also suggests that Christos can be linked to three pagan gods. (“Come Out of Her My People”) page 68.

Similar to the foregoing component of Sun-worship which had been adopted into the Church, we have yet another proof of the adoption of a pagan word name, although less convincing of its absolute solar origin. However, we can clearly see that, with the Greeks using both the Greek words Messias (a transliteration) and Christos (a translation) for the Hebrew Maschiach (Anointed), the word Christos was far more acceptable to the pagans who were worshipping Chreston, Chrestos, and perhaps also those worshipping Krista.”

The linkage by the Greek writers or translators of The Messiah’s Hebrew Name to “Iesous” and “Christos” to the pagan world has taken the Name above All Names away from us. Let’s look at another name associated with The Messiah in Scripture.

Mat 1:23 “See, a maiden shall conceive, and she shall give birth to a Descendant, and they shall call Her Name Immanu’ĕl,” which translated, means, “Ěl with us.”

We were created in the image of Elohim. The Image of Elohim is both male and female.

Gen 1:26-27 And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.” 27 And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.

So I wondered if Miryam had twins; a male and female, a son and a daughter with just one of them, the daughter destined to become The Messiah? Each of the four Gospels refers to the disciple (taught one) T’oma (Thomas) as one of the Twelve Taught Ones. The Greek “Didymus” is used together with “T’oma” in three verses in the Gospel of Yohanan (11:16; 20:24; and 21:2). The Aramaic Tau’ma: the name “Thomas” itself comes from the Aramaic word for twin: T’oma (תאומא).

Joh 11:16(KJV)  Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

The question arises who was T’oma the twin of? It makes sense to me that T’oma was the “Twin” of The Messiah. After the resurrection T’oma was not amongst the Twelve when The Messiah made an appearance to them. When the Taught Ones brought the news of the resurrection to T’oma he refused to believe. Eight days later The Messiah appeared again to the Taught Ones including T’oma and he believed calling Her “My Master and my Elohim”.

Joh 20:24-28 But T’oma, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Yashayahnah came, 25 so the other taught ones said to him, “We have seen the Master.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in Her hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the imprint of the nails, and put my hand into Her side, I shall by no means believe.” 26 And after eight days Her taught ones were again inside, and T’oma with them. Yashayahnah came, the doors having been shut, and She stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then She said to T’oma, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands. And bring your hand and put it into My side – and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 And T’oma answered and said to Her, “My Master and my Elohim!”

The Scriptures do not tell us who T’oma was the twin of. In the Apocryphal Literature of “The Acts of Thomas” he is twice called the “Twin of Christ”.

…and for me it was easy to declare them before thee, for I know that thou art the twin brother of the Christ...

………..And the mouth of the colt was opened, and it spake by the power of our Lord and said to him) and opened its mouth and said: Thou twin of Christ, apostle of the Most High and initiate in the hidden word of Christ who receivest his secret oracles, fellow worker with the Son of God, who being free hast become a bondman, and being sold hast brought many into liberty…….

In The Book of Thomas the Contender, The Savior makes a reference to Thomas being called “The Savior’s Twin and True Companion”. One wonders if “Contender” here refers to Thomas contending for being The Messiah at some point in time during his younger life. Here is an extract from The Book of Thomas The Contender as translated by John D. Turner.

The secret words that the savior spoke to Judas Thomas which I, even I, Mathaias, wrote down, while I was walking, listening to them speak with one another. The savior said, “Brother Thomas while you have time in the world, listen to me, and I will reveal to you the things you have pondered in your mind.

“Now, since it has been said that you are my twin and true companion, examine yourself, and learn who you are, in what way you exist, and how you will come to be…….”

Once it became obvious that his twin Sister was The Messiah he began to be known as “The Twin”. As a baby his parents may have thought he was going to be The Messiah. The scriptures describing circumcision of The Messiah are really describing T’oma’s circumcision.

Let’s now look at two hidden prophecies of The Messiah to Come.

The very first scripture in the Messianic Scriptures introduces The Messiah with genealogical linkages to Abraham and Dawid.

Mat 1:1  The book of the genealogy of Yashanah Messiah, Descendant of Dawiḏ, Descendant of Aḇraham:

The scriptures use many symbols for The Messiah, one of the most important of all being “The Lamb”. Yohanan shares with us the reason why The Messiah came into the world.

Joh 3:16-17 “For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Descendant Daughter, so that everyone who believes in Her should not perish but possess everlasting life. 17 “For Elohim did not send His Descendant Daughter into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Her might be saved.

Joh 1:29 On the next day Yoḥanan saw Yashayahnah coming toward him, and said, “See, the Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sin of the world!

The Titles “Lamb of Elohim” and “Descendant of David” are synonymous with The Messiah. The Messiah paid the ultimate price for the sins of the world when impaled upon the stake. The Messiah was perfect and is also the Mediator of a New Covenant.

1Ti 2:5 For there is one Elohim, and one Mediator between Elohim and men, the  Messiah Yashayahnah,

Heb 8:6 But now She has obtained a more excellent service, inasmuch as She is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was constituted on better promises.

Heb 9:15 And because of this She is the Mediator of a renewed covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called might receive the promise of the everlasting inheritance.

The first time the word “Lamb” appears in scripture (The Scriptures, KJV, NIV) is when Abraham makes a covenant with Abimelek. Seven is a number very symbolical in scripture and is associated with perfection and completeness. Let’s look at the covenant Abraham made and notice how he set aside seven ewe lambs in making the covenant.

Gen 21:27-34 So Aḇraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to Aḇimeleḵ, and the two of them made a covenant. 28 And Aḇraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29 And Aḇimeleḵ asked Aḇraham, “What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?” 30 And he said, “Take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, to be my witness that I have dug this well.” 31 So he called that place Be’ĕrsheḇa, because the two of them swore an oath there. 32 Thus they made a covenant at Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇimeleḵ rose with Piḵol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines. 33 And he planted a tamarisk tree in Be’ĕrsheḇa, and there called on the Name of יהוה, the Everlasting Ěl. 34 And Aḇraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

This is a prophecy of The Messiah to come? Seven perfect Ewe Lambs. Ewe is a female lamb and we have a Female Messiah prophesied the very first time the word “Lamb” is found in the scriptures.

Now let’s look at Dawid. During the course of his life he falls in love with a married woman Bathsheba. He sleeps with her and she becomes pregnant with Dawid’s child. Dawid then had her husband purposely sent to the front lines of battle where he was killed. After Bathsheba mourns the loss of her husband Uriyah, Dawid marries her. Dawid did not think he had done anything wrong until the prophet Nathan used a parable to show the sins Dawid was guilty of.

2Sa 12:1-13 Then Yeshayahna sent Nathan to Dawiḏ. And he came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. 2 “The rich one had flocks and herds, very many. 3 “But the poor one had only one little ewe lamb which he had bought and kept alive. And it grew up with him and with his children together. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom. And it was like a daughter to him. 4 “And a traveller came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.” 5 And the wrath of Dawiḏ burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As Yeshayahna lives, the man who has done this is a son of death! 6 “Also, he has to repay fourfold for the lamb, because he did this deed and because he had no compassion.”  7 Then Nathan said to Dawiḏ, “You are the man! Thus said Yeshayahna Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘I anointed you sovereign over Yisra’ĕl, and I delivered you from the hand of Sha’ul.  8 ‘And I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Yisra’ĕl and Yehuḏah. And if that were not enough, I also would have given you much more! 9 ‘Why have you despised the Word of Yeshayahna to do evil in His eyes? You have killed Uriyah the Ḥittite with the sword, and his wife you took to be your wife, and you have killed him with the sword of the children of Ammon. 10 ‘And now, the sword does not turn aside from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriyah the Ḥittite to be your wife.’ 11 “Thus said Yeshayahna, ‘See, I am raising up evil against you, from your own house, and shall take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbour, and he shall lie with your wives in the sight of this sun. 12 ‘For you did it in secret, but I shall do this deed before all Yisra’ĕl, and before the sun.’ ” 13 And Dawiḏ said to Nathan, “I have sinned against Yeshayahna.” And Nathan said to Dawiḏ, “Also, Yeshayahna has put away your sin, you shall not die.

When King Dawid heard the parable he sentenced the rich man to death and called for four lambs to be given to the poor man. Nathan points out that he, Dawid is the rich man without compassion who had the lamb killed. Dawid comes to realize his guilt in the Bathsheba affair and his transgressions with Father Yeshayahna. Both murder and adultery were punishable by death but Dawid’s repentance resulted in his sin being put away (forgiven) but not without dire consequences. Let’s take a closer look at the parable again and see if it has a hidden prophecy in it.

2Sa 12:1-4 Then Yeshana sent Nathan to Dawiḏ. And he came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor. 2 “The rich one had flocks and herds, very many. 3 “But the poor one had only one little ewe lamb which he had bought and kept alive. And it grew up with him and with his children together. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom. And it was like a daughter to him. 4 “And a traveller came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”

Each of us is a traveling sinner (wayfarer) in this world. In order for us to be favored for eternal life we need to accept the atoning sacrifice of The Lamb. In this parable an Ewe Lamb, lay in his bosom and it was just like a daughter to the poor man (Father Yeshayahna) was prepared as an offering for the wayfaring sinner (us). This is a hidden prophecy pointing to a female Daughter Messiah who is Our Savior. The first chapter of the Gospel of Yohanan contains the fulfillment of the prophecy.

Joh 1:1-29 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. 2 She was in the beginning with Elohim. 3 All came to be through Her, and without Her not even one came to be that came to be. 4 In Her was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 6 There was a man sent from Elohim, whose name was Yoḥanan. 7 This one came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all might believe through him. 8 He was not that Light, but that he might bear witness of that Light. 9 She was the true Light, which enlightens every man, coming into the world. 10 She was in the world, and the world came to be through Her, and the world did not know Her. 11 She came to Her own, and Her own did not receive Her. 12 But as many as received Her, to them She gave the authority to become children of Elohim, to those believing in Her Name, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the desire of flesh nor of the desire of man, but of Elohim. 14 And the Word became flesh and pitched Her tent among us, and we saw Her esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth. 15 Yoḥanan bore witness of Her and cried out, saying, “This was She of whom I said, ‘She who comes after me has become before me, because She was before me.’ ” 16 And out of Her completeness we all did receive, and favour upon favour, 17 for the Torah was given through Mosheh – the favour and the truth came through Messiah. 18 No one has ever seen Elohim. The only brought-forth Descendant Daughter, who is in the bosom of the Father, She did declare. 19 Now this was the witness of Yoḥanan when the Yehuḏim sent from Yerushalayim priests and Lĕwites to ask him, “Who are you?” 20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Messiah.” 21 And they asked him, “What then, are you Ěliyahu?” So he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.” 22 Therefore they said to him, “Who are you, so that we give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself?” 23 He said, “I am a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of Yeshana,’ as the prophet Yeshayahu said.” 24 And those sent were of the Pharisees, 25 and they asked him, saying, “Why then do you immerse if you are not the Messiah, nor Ěliyahu, nor the Prophet?” 26 Yoḥanan answered them, saying, “I immerse in water, but in your midst stands One whom you do not know, 27 the One coming after me, who has become before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loosen.” 28 This took place in Bĕyth Anyah beyond the Yardĕn, where Yoḥanan was immersing. 29 On the next day Yoḥanan saw Messiah coming toward him, and said, “See, the Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sin of the world!

Scripture also compares us to sheep who are guided by a Shepherd.

Psa 23:1-6 Yeshayahna is my shepherd; I do not lack. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. 3 He turns back¹ my being; He leads me in paths of righteousness For His Name’s sake. 4 When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You spread before me a table in the face of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Only goodness and kindness follow me All the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the House of Yeshayahna, To the length of days!

Footnote: ¹Or He converts

In the Scroll of Revelation we are told that those having found favor and coming out of the tribulation are shepherded by the Lamb.

Rev 7:13-17 And one of the elders responded, saying to me, “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 14 And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 “Because of this they are before the throne of Elohim, and serve Her day and night in Her Dwelling Place. And She who sits on the throne shall spread Her Tent over them. 16 “They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun strike them, nor any heat, 17 because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them and lead them to fountains of waters of life. And Elohim shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

The reason for focusing on Lamb and Shepherd is similar to the “Seven Ewe’s of Abraham”. Early on in the Scroll of Genesis we run into a female shepherdess with connections to the Messianic Scriptures. Her name is Rahel (Rachel) which means “Ewe” and she became an ancestress of YisraEl after becoming the second wife of Ya’aqob (Jacob). A female was the first to be called a shepherd in the Scriptures.

Gen 29:9 While he was still speaking with them, Raḥĕl came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

Early on in the marriage Rahel was barren but eventually she had two sons – Yoseph and Ben-oni. Rahel had named her second son Ben-oni (meaning “son of my sorrow”) because she died while giving birth to the child.  Ya’aqob renamed Ben-oni Binyamin meaning “son of my right hand”. Rahel was buried within miles of Yerushalayim and Beyth Lehem.

There appear to be some connections between Rahel, Yoseph, Ben-oni and Binyamin to The Messiah. The Messiah, a child of sorrow born in Beyth Lehem to Miryam and Yoseph, visited by shepherds from the fields, resurrected to the right hand side of Father Yeshana. With Rahel being an ancestress of YisraEl and setting the precedent for being a shepherdess we shouldn’t be surprised that the Shepherd of One Flock is A True Shepherdess and Our Messiah.

Exactly what is the Name above all Names. We can build a case for the Name of Names by looking at The Messiah’s triumphant entry into Yerushalayim.

The Triumphal Entry of Our Messiah into Yerushalayim upon a donkey was met with the approval of the crowd who cried out “Hoshia-na to the Descendant of Dawiḏ! Blessed is She who is coming in the Name of Yeshana! Hoshia-na in the highest!” Upon entering The Hekal and healing the blind and the lame the children also cried out “Hoshia-na to the Descendant of Dawid!”

Mat 21:9 And the crowds who went before and those who followed cried out, saying, “Hoshia-na to the Descendant of Dawiḏ! Blessed is She who is coming in the Name of Yeshana! Hoshia-na in the highest!”

Mat 21:15 But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders which She did, and the children crying out in the Set-apart Place and saying, “Hoshia-na to the Descendant of Dawid!” they were greatly displeased,

The Bible Knowledge Commentary provides the meaning of Hoshia-na;
“Hosanna” is from the Hebrew hôšîâh nā;, “Save (us), we pray,” taken from Psa_118:25. It came to be a note of praise as well as petition.

Let us look at Psa 118:25-26

Psa 118:25-26 I pray, O Yeshana, please save; I pray, O Yeshayahna, please send prosperity. 26 Blessed is She who is coming in the Name of Yeshana! We shall bless you from the House of Yeshayahna.

The Gospel of Mark also records the entrance into the city

Mar 11:7-10 And they brought the colt to Messiah and threw their garments on it, and She sat on it. 8 And many spread their garments on the way, and others were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading them on the way. 9 And those going before and those following cried out, saying, “Hoshia-na! ‘Blessed is She who is coming in the Name of Yeshana!’ 10 Blessed is the coming reign of our father Dawiḏ – in the Name of Yeshayahna! Hoshia-na in the highest!”

“Hoshia-na in the highest” and “Hoshia-na” are references to The Messiah’s name. Let’s look at Strong’s Greek Dictionary which provides the source Hebrew words for “Hoshia-na”.

G5614

ὡσαννά

hōsanna

ho-san-nah’

Of Hebrew origin [H3467] and [H4994]; oh save!; hosanna (that is, hoshia-na), an exclamation of adoration: – hosanna.

Now Strong tells us “Hoshia-na” is a combination of the Hebrew words H3467 and H4994. Let’s take a look at them.

H3467

ישׁע

yâsha‛

yaw-shah’

A primitive root; properly to be open, wide or free, that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or succor: – X at all, avenging, defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-iour), get victory.

H4994

נא

nâ’

naw

A primitive particle of incitement and entreaty, which may usually be rendered I pray, now or then; added mostly to verbs (in the imperative or future), or to interjections, occasionally to an adverb or conjugation: – I beseech (pray) thee (you), go to, now, oh.

By combining the Hebrew words we get “Yashana” meaning “please save I pray”. The “h” on the end feminizes the Name. Yashanah sounds very much like the name of the flowers in scripture (The Rose and Lily-Hebrew Shoshannah) that are symbolic of The Messiah.

The name Yashanah does not include the “I am” or “yah” portion but thanks to the prophet Yeshayahu we know exactly where to place it — Yasha-yah-na-h — YASHAYAHNAH.

The Messiah came in The Father’s Name. Her name was the feminine name of The Father.

Joh 5:43 “I have come in My Father’s Name and you do not receive Me, if another comes in his own name, him you would receive.

The Father’s Name would be the masculine of “YASHAYAHNAH” IS “YESHAYAHNA”.

We now can answer the question posed in Proverbs.

Pro 30:4 Who has gone up to the heavens and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, And what is His Child’s Name, If you know it?

His Name Elohim The Father Is “YESHAYAHNA”

Her Name, The Name of Names and Descendant Daughter of Father Yeshana is Messiah “YAHSHAYAHNAH”

It may be a Surprise to most people that Elohim is One. A Father Yeshana together with His Descendant Daughter Messiah Yashayahnah as One Elohim. Even the Taught One’s Paul and Simon sang a song of a Father’s love for His Daughter

“Father and Daughter” by Paul Simon from his album “Surprise”
(Album: Surprise)

None of us can begin to imagine how much Father Yeshayahna loves His  Daughter, Our Savior and Messiah Yashayahnah and vice versa. Elohim is One and our goal is to dedicate our life to becoming One with the Love of Elohim.

A careful analysis of the Olivetan Discourse that Yashayahnah Messiah gave on the Mount of Olives suggests that while we may not know the day and hour of the Second Coming we can definitely establish a timeframe for the event.

The Olivetan Discourse: Matthew 24:3-44

The Signs of the Times and the End of the Age

Mat 24:3 And as She sat on the Mount of Olives, the taught ones came to Her separately, saying, “Say to us, when shall this be, and what is the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Yashayahnah answering, said to them, “Take heed that no one leads you astray. 5 “For many shall come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they shall lead many astray. 6 “And you shall begin to hear of fightings and reports of fightings. See that you are not troubled, for these have to take place, but the end is not yet. 7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and reign against reign. And there shall be scarcities of food, and deadly diseases, and earthquakes in places. 8 “And all these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 “Then they shall deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you shall be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake. 10 “And then many shall stumble, and they shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another. 11 “And many false prophets shall rise up and lead many astray. 12 “And because of the increase in lawlessness, the love of many shall become cold. 13 “But those who shall have endured to the end shall be saved. 14 “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come.

The Great Tribulation

Mat 24:15 “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste,’ spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – those who read, let them understand - 16 “then let those who are in Yehudah flee to the mountains. 17 “Let those who are on the house-top not come down to take whatever out of their house. 18 “And let those who are in the field not turn back to get their garments. 19 “And woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing children in those days! 20 “And pray that your flight does not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 “For then there shall be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 “And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would be saved, but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened. 23 “If anyone then says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe. 24 “For false messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. 25 “See, I have forewarned you. 26 “So if they say to you, ‘Look, She is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, She is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe. 27 “For as the lightning comes from the east and shines to the west, so also shall the coming of the Descendant of Adam be. 28 “For wherever the dead body is, there the eagles shall be gathered together.

The Coming of the Descendant of  Adam

Mat 24:29 “And immediately after the distress of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 30 “And then the sign of the Descendant of Adam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Descendant of Adam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem. 31 “And She shall send Her messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together Her chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

Mat 24:32 “And learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that the summer is near. 33 “So you also, when you see all these, know that She is near, at the doors. 34 “Truly, I say to you, this generation shall by no means pass away until all this takes place. 35 “The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words shall by no means pass away.

No One Knows the Day or Hour

Mat 24:36 “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only. 37 “And as the days of Noah, so also shall the coming of the Descendant of Adam be. 38 “For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Descendant of Adam be. 40 “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is left. 41 “Two shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left. 42 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming. 43 “And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, they would have watched and not allowed their house to be broken into. 44 “Because of this, be ready too, for the Descendant of Adam is coming at an hour when you do not expect Her.

The Symbolism of the Fig Tree

The Old Testament prophets use the fig tree as a symbol of YisraEl. In Hoshea, for example, we find The Father saying

Hos 9:10 “I found Yisra’ĕl like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first-fruits on the fig tree in its beginning……..

In Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) there are multiple references of the fig tree being associated with the Yehudah(Jews).

Jer 24:1-7  Yeshayahna showed me, and look, there were two baskets of figs set before the Hĕḵal of Yeshayahna, after Neḇuḵaḏrets-tsar sovereign of Baḇel had exiled Yeḵonyahu son of Yehoyaqim, sovereign of Yehuḏah, and the heads of Yehuḏah with the craftsmen and smiths, from Yerushalayim, and had brought them to Baḇel. 2 One basket had very good figs, like the figs that are first ripe. And the other basket had very spoilt figs which could not be eaten, they were so spoilt.” 3 And Yeshayahna said to me, “What do you see, Yirmeyahu?” And I said, “Figs, the good figs, very good. And the spoilt, very spoilt, which could not be eaten, they are so spoilt.” 4 Again the word of Yeshayahna came to me, saying, 5 “Thus said Yeshayahna, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, ‘Like these good figs, so do I acknowledge the exiles of Yehuḏah, whom I have sent out of this place for their own good, into the land of the Chaldeans. 6 ‘And I shall set My eyes on them for good, and shall bring them back to this land. And I shall build them and not pull them down, and shall plant them and not pluck them up. 7 ‘And I shall give them a heart to know Me, that I am Yeshayahna. And they shall be My people and I shall be their Elohim, for they shall turn back to Me with all their heart.

The Messiah was familiar with these scrolls and used the lesson of the fig tree parable to symbolize YisraEl. The Ethiopic Text of  The Apocalypse of Peter leaves no doubt that Messiah was linking “The House of YisraEl” to the Fig Tree.  A portion of the text has the following

And I, Peter, answered and said unto him: Interpret unto me concerning the fig-tree, whereby we shall perceive it; for throughout all its days doth the fig-tree send forth shoots, and every year it bringeth forth its fruit for its master. What then meaneth the parable of the fig-tree? We know it not. And the Master answered and said unto me: Understandest thou not that the fig-tree is the house of Israel?”

The fig tree parable in the Olivet Discourse refers to YisraEl.  The Declaration of the State of Israel’s Independence occurred on May 14, 1948 and YisraEl was recognized as a member of the United Nations by majority vote on May 11, 1949.

Looking at the parable of the fig tree above then we see that the fig tree YisraEl sprouted new leaves when it was recognized as a nation by others in 1949. So now we know the summer of the events prophesized in the discourse are near. The parable is telling us that there are people who saw YisraEl come back that will live to see the Second Coming of the Messiah.  Can we identify a time span for The Second Coming in years or months since only the Father knows the day and the hour? Can we get anymore information on a moving generation in Scripture? It has to be a moving generation because only The Father knows the exact day and hour of the return of The Messiah.

In the Scroll of Psalms there is “A prayer of Mosheh the man of Elohim” that does this for us. Mosheh lived for a 120 years yet in this prayer contained in in the eldest of the Psalms Mosheh (Psalm 90) writes that “the length of our years is range bound between seventy and eighty”. Obviously there were many who lived shorter and some who have lived longer so Mosheh was giving us the average range of a generation. Here is Psalm 90 in its entirety.

Psalm 90

A Prayer of Mosheh the man of Elohim.

Yeshayahna, You have been our refuge In all generations.
Before the mountains were born, Or You had brought forth the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting You are Ěl.
You turn man back to dust, And say, “Return, O children of men.”
For a thousand years in Your eyes Are like yesterday that has past, Or like a watch in the night.
You have swept them away, They are as a sleep, Like grass that springs up in the morning.
At evening it is cut down and withered.
For we have been consumed by Your displeasure, And by Your wrath we are alarmed.
You have set our crookednesses before You, Our secret sin in the light of Your face.
For all our days have passed away in Your wrath, We spend our years like a whisper.

The days of our lives are seventy years; Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet the best of them is but toil and exertion; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Who knows the power of Your displeasure? And your wrath, according to the fear of You?
Teach us to number our days, And let us bring the heart to wisdom.
Return, O Yeshayahna! How long? And be sorry for Your servants.
Satisfy us in the morning with Your kindness, And let us sing for joy all our days!
Give us joy according to The days You have afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
Reveal Your work to Your servants, And Your splendour to their children.
And let the pleasantness Of Yeshayahna our Elohim be upon us, And confirm the work of our hands for us; O confirm the work of our hands!

There is much we can take away in terms of analysis of this Psalm. This is the oldest of the Psalms and the only one written by Mosheh. It therefore must contain vital information for us to use. There are multiple pointers here to the Second Coming and events of the Second Coming. Let me first focus on the time frame and do the additional analysis later. We are given a starting point of seventy years. With strength (meaning surviving the tribulation) the range can be extended to eighty. Thus Mosheh in his prayer here is telling us that a generation is between seventy and eighty years long.

If we add the time frame of a generation to 1949 (the year YisraEl was recognized as a member of the United Nations) then the Second Coming is between “1949+70=2019″ and “1949+80=2029″. However an adjustment has to be made. In Scriptural prophecy a year is a period of 360 days and not 365 so we need to day weight the generation time frame for this and take into account 18 to 20 leap year days. This reduces the time frame by a year to between 2018 – 2028. We can’t pick the day or hour but we can pick the exact timeframe of The Return give or take a day or two.

Determining The Time Frame (Season) of The Second Coming

Date YisraEl recognized as a nation was the 11 th day of the 05 th month 1949

Add 70*360=25200 Days for the first potential day of the Second Coming gives us the 9th day of the 5th month 2018.

Add 80*360=28800 Days for the last potential day of the Second Coming gives us the 17th day of the 3rd month 2028.

Thus the range in which Our Father will pick His day and hour for The Messiah’s return is between

09/05/2018 and 17/03/2028

The tribulation is a period of seven years that includes tremendous wars and plagues reflecting The Fathers wrath as He tries to encourage humanity to be reconciled to Him. This tribulation period precedes The Messiah’s Second Coming by seven years.

Additional Analysis

The Psalm outlines the Father’s wrath and the Seven Trumpets in the Scroll of Revelations are the unleashing of The Father’s wrath with the Seventh Trumpet announcing the arrival of The Messiah. The Psalm also contains the phrase “Return, O Yeshayahna! How long? “and “Teach us to number our days, And let us bring the heart to wisdom.” further clues that this Psalm is to be used in calculating a Second Coming timeframe. Finally the Psalm ends in beauty. It ends with the pleasantness of Elohim The Father Yeshayahna being upon us who is none other than The Messiah Yashayahnah.

Reveal Your work to Your servants, And Your splendor to their children.
And let the pleasantness Of Yeshayahna our Elohim be upon us,
And confirm the work of our hands for us; O confirm the work of our hands!

The tribulation time period can be determined by studying the 70 Weeks Prophecy in the Scroll of Daniel. At the time Yerushalayim and the Hekal (Temple) were destroyed. Daniel prays to our Father Yeshayahna. His prayer includes confession of his sin and the sin of his people, and his request that Elohim restore the set-apart mountain and His city Yerushalayim.

Dan 9:16-20 “O Yeshayahna, according to all Your righteousness, I pray, let Your displeasure and Your wrath be turned away from Your city Yerushalayim, Your set-apart mountain. For, because of our sins, and because of the crookednesses of our fathers, Yerushalayim and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us. 17 “And now, our Elohim, hear the prayer of Your servant, and his supplications, and for the sake of Yeshayahna cause Your face to shine on Your set-apart place, which is laid waste. 18 “O my Elohim, incline Your ear and hear. Open Your eyes and see our wastes, and the city which is called by Your Name. For we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great compassions. 19 “O Yeshayahna, hear! O Yeshayahna, forgive! O Yeshayahna, listen and act! Do not delay for Your own sake, my Elohim, for Your city and Your people are called by Your Name.” 20 And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Yisra’ĕl, and presenting my supplication before Yeshayahna my Elohim for the set-apart mountain of my Elohim,

The prayer of Daniel is answered by the arrival of Gabriel who shares the 70 weeks prophecy with Daniel

Dan 9:21-25 while I was still speaking in prayer, the man Gaḇri’ĕl, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came close to me, in swift flight about the time of the evening offering. 22 And he made me understand, and talked with me, and said, “O Dani’ĕl, I have now come forth to make you wise concerning understanding. 23 “At the beginning of your supplications a word went out, and I have come to make it known, for you are greatly appreciated. So consider the word and understand the vision: 24 “Seventy weeks are decreed for your people and for your set-apart city, to put an end to the transgression, and to seal up sins, and to cover crookedness, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the Most Set-apart. 25 “Know, then, and understand: from the going forth of the command to restore and build Yerushalayim until Messiah the Leader is seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again, with streets and a trench, but in times of affliction.

Various commands were issued to rebuild Yerushalayim but only one accurately pinpoints Messiah Yashayahnah being cut-off (impaled) after 69 weeks of sevens or 483 prophetical years (360 day years). The command of Artaxerxea Longimanus given to Nehemiah to rebuild Yerushalayim occurred in Nisan of 445 BCE. If we add 69*7*360=173,880 prophetic days/365.25 Solar Years = 445 BCE + 476 + 1 = 32CE. (An additional 1 was added in crossing from BCE to CE because the year “0″ didn’t exist). This is an amazing prophecy and places the impalement (cut off) of the Messiah Yashayahnah in 32 CE. The Messiah was impaled and died naked on the stake. The Messiah had naught.

Dan 9:26-27 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off and have naught. And the people of a coming prince shall destroy the city and the set-apart place. And the end of it is with a flood. And wastes are decreed, and fighting until the end. 27 “And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the middle of the week he shall put an end to slaughtering and meal offering. And on the wing of abominations he shall lay waste, even until the complete end and that which is decreed is poured out on the one who lays waste.”

There is still one week or seven years to be fulfilled. Messiah Yashayahnah tells us this last week will come after the Good News is proclaimed to the whole world. With Television, Radio and the Internet the Good News is available to most of the world. The Beast Leader(coming prince) will establish peace with many nations in a seven year covenant including Yisra’El. During the first half of the covenant the false prophet will convert many Yehudim to Roman Catholicism(The Woman that rides the beast in the Scroll of Revelation) setting up The Beast Leader to be the AntiMessiah and having his image set up on the Hekal wall in Yerushalayim. There will be more posts on the “woman rider of the beast”  later.

Mat 24:14-15 “And this Good News of the reign shall be proclaimed in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come. 15 “So when you see the ‘abomination that lays waste, spoken of by Dani’ĕl the prophet, set up in the set-apart place” – those who read, let them understand –

Rev 17:3-6 And he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast covered with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup filled with abominations and the filthiness of her whoring,5 and upon her forehead a name written, a secret: BAḆEL THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the set-apart ones, and with the blood of the witnesses of Yashayahnah. And having seen her, I marvelled – greatly marvelled!

Determining The Time Frame of the Tribulation

Subtract 7*360=2520 Days from the first potential day of the Second Coming the 9th day of the 5th month 2018 gives us the 15th day of the 6th month 2011.

Subtract 7*360=2520 Days for the last potential day of the Second Coming the 17th day of the 3rd month 2028 gives us 23rd day of the 4th month 2021.

Thus the range in which the Tribulation will begin is between

15/06/2011 and 23/04/2021

The Scroll of Revelation describes in detail The Tribulation and we will work on that in later posts.  Time is ticking and it’s time for all of us to Surrender Sweetly to the Bread of Life.

Mat 4:3-4 And the trier came and said to Her, “If You are the Descendant of Elohim, command that these stones become bread. 4 But She answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Yeshayahna.’ ”

After listening to this song we will be seven or so minutes closer to The Second Coming.

There is more to say – Time to Surrender Sweetly to the Bread of Elohim
