-Please Read this FIRST- On this site we prefer to use the actual
Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was written in the Word, and thus you will note that we will use the Four Letter “Memorial Name”
of 
- YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH. In addition we will also use our Heavenly Father’s
attribute/title, which is Elohim rather than “God,” which sadly is the name of a pagan god.
In addition we also love to use the actual and real Name of our beloved Messiah
which is 
- Yahushua for this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in
“Master … Where do
You Live?”

1. Introduction
Yochanan –
Vs 1- 5; I
call a Magnificent Revelation.
Vs 6 – 18; I call a Marvellous Recollection.
Vs 19 – 28; Shows us Day One of a particular Seven day period that would change the world.
In Vs 23 we hear the following statement …
“The Voice of him that cries in the
wilderness: ‘Prepare you the way of YHVH and make straight in the
dessert a highway for our Elohim.” Yeshayahu - Isaiah 40:3 &
Yochanan -
This may be called day one of our
Saviours Ministry having been Baptised or correctly translated
“Immersed” in the original Hebrew Brit Chadashah, the New Covenant,
by Yochanan the Immerser -
Vs 29; Speaks
of Day Two – “The next day.”
Vs 35; Speaks
of Day Four – “The next Day.”
However in Chapter 2 Verse 1, we read the
words “On the third day,” this actually means, three days after Day
Four – thus ending with Day Seven. In these verses we have discovered the
first seven days of our Saviour’s Ministry on earth!
We know that when Yahushua arrived at the
“I saw the Spirit (HaRuach) come down
from heaven as a dove and it remained (or rested) on Him. I would not have
known Him, except that the one who sent me to Immerse with water told me, 'The
man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is He who will Immerse with
the Sanctified (Holy) Spirit (
In Chapter 1 Verses 35 and 36 we read that the
next day Yahushua returned to the
Beloved, did you realise that there are in
fact two very different Hebrew and Greek words in the Scriptures for lamb?
“
“The wolf and the lamb shall feed
together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock.”
The Hebrew word used for “lamb” in Yeshayahu - Isaiah 65:25 is “taleh” and there are even other variations for other lambs. However, it is ONLY Sacrificial Lamb that are without spot and blemish that are called – “HaSeh” - “Ha” is “the” and “Seh” meaning “Sacrificial Lamb!” Thus Yochanan was making it very clear to all that stood round about “Behold the Sacrificial Lamb of YHVH Elohim.”
Two of Yochanan’s disciples that were present decided to follow Yahushua and they asked him …
“Rabbi (or Master), where do you live.
And He (Yahushua) said come and see.” Yochanan -
The truth is our blessed Messiah’s home is by far grander than any home that they would be dwelling in throughout the land, for the best description of a home for our Redeemer, as well as being a wonderful picture of the faithful in Him is the Tabernacle and the detail that can be found in how it was built and put together, for it is an intricate structure and it has so much to teach us.
In this study, I will only be touching a very small section of this amazing structure, but yet I believe that when I have concluded you will be richly blessed!
2. The Tabernacle
I stated that I would be sharing something about a small section of the Tabernacle. Well, that is not exactly true, for without the part that I will be sharing on, there could be no Tabernacle in the Wilderness, nor a House for Elohim to dwell in, for it was the most important or vital part of the whole structure! You may ask well, what was this part? Let, the Scriptures tell you!
“Make upright frames of acacia wood for
the tabernacle. Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half
wide.”
As you will have noted, I am speaking about
the boards that made up the walls and the entrance of the Tabernacle and to
make these three main walls it required 20 boards on each side and 8 boards
behind the Holy of Holies, making a total of 48 boards.
The truth is, what makes it all so incredibly
remarkable is that all this timber for these 48 huge boards had to be gathered
in a place that the Scriptures very clearly calls “the wilderness.”
However, the next question we have to ask
ourselves is this … “What kind of timber was used and was it big
enough for these boards?” Well the answer is simple, for the
Scripture gives us the answer and it tells us that it was the “acacia
tree.
I have travelled throughout
Yet
The Boards:
Now, here comes the interesting part … The Hebrew for “boards” is “Kerashim”
in verse15 it is written in the plural.
Do these Boards remind you of something else?
The acacia wood in the wilderness sort of
reminds me of everyone who has lived without YaHVaH and Yahushua THE Messiah
and thus a life without salvation.
Let us look what happened next to these
timber boards:
But even when these boards were completed and
fully dried out, they still did not look that impressive. Yes, they were
straight and upright, thus the perfect shape and size, but as each board was
made up from many pieces of wood, the exteriors looked like a mess of different
timber colours, from light to darker shades, depending on the age, or what part
of the tree was showing. Therefore, we are told in the Word that these
boards were fully covered in precious Gold, whilst at the bottom they were
fitted with a pair of Sockets made of Silver, separating the earth,
which represents “sin”
from the Gold which represented the Majesty of
The redeemed of Elohim, who were once like a
simple acacia tree, are now like those great boards of the Tabernacle, covered
in gold, standing on silver, the metal of redemption, all because our Yahushua
our Saviour who shed His blood for the forgiveness of our sins!
There is so much more to the Tabernacle story and I suggest that you now go and study “The Tabernacle in the Wilderness” for in it you will discover so many treasures, far more than I have included in this short study, which is but an introduction!.
We are so blessed, for we have a Great Elohim
who has given us so much, we are so blessed, thus go forth and go and share the
love, mercy, and forgiveness with others, that our beloved Messiah touch them
also. May the Spirit of YaHVaH Elohim touch and change them, that they may also
receive the REWARD … FOR …
“Great is your REWARD in HEAVEN!”

Yahushua said; “No one can come to Me unless the Father who
sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in
the Prophets: They will all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who listens to the
Father and learns from Him comes to Me. No one has seen the Father except the
One who is from Elohim; only He has seen the Father. I tell you the truth he
who believes has everlasting life.” Yochanan (
