The light from the menorah
was still veiled. When John saw the seven golden candlesticks in the book
of Revelation, he saw Christ in the midst. But when he was lifted up in
the forth chapter he saw the seven spirits of God. This is his full form
in spirit and in all wisdom.
In order to understand more thoroughly the dimension of light in the holy
of holies we must first examine Genesis. In the beginning God said, “Let
there be light.” There is a light source not connected with the light
that comes from the sun. It was in the first day that God said, “Let
there be light”. (Who knows what was created when this word was spoken--beings
full of light and who have different essences--beings in a realm not revealed
to us.) It was not until the fourth day that the sun and the moon were
created. We must understand that; there is a resource in the Father, which
does not have a physical realm; a realm that does not relate to anything
that is of the earth. The truth is that nothing we see with our physical
eyes was created without the power of God. But this light is God. We are
about to enter a realm for which we have no reference in the natural realm.
We cannot relate to a source of being we cannot analyze and bring into
our control. Look at all the invention man has made that deals with the
reflection of light or the control of light’s direction. We have
the telescope, the microscope, ultra-violent rays, x-rays anything that
controls light. But the light in the holy of holies is not controllable.
Humans cannot direct this light nor can they see it and they cannot control
it. We see Yashua and we come into the holy of holies. This is our Father
of lights in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning. This
light lights every man that comes into the world.
Now what is the sum of what we are saying? There is the natural light
of the outer court which history shows us can still be confusing to the
church world. And there is the light source provided by the special oil
from the candle sticks which still can lead to some interpretation by
man but when we come in the Holy Of Holies we can no longer embrace the
confusion of the church world. We come face to face not with the ark but
with our God who is a consuming fire. So bright is this light that all
confusion is consumed and absorbed by the fire. This fire is the light
of God, which gives us access to the Father of Light. We embrace him face
to face and only what is of his nature will survive in his presence. The
priest entered the Holy of Holies once a year and a rope was tied around
his foot so he could be dragged out if the sacrifice was not accepted.
If the sacrifice was not accepted he would die. If G-d had not accepted
Jesus our sacrifice, we would be dead in our trespasses and sin. There
remained a fear in the heart of the Priest who stood before God that cannot
be compared to any earthly fear, a fear we will understand. This fear
is the beginning of wisdom that we embrace as kings, priests of the new
order, kings, priests of the third day, kings, and priests of seventh
day and kings and priests unto our God, the God of eternal light.
Perhaps we can gain more understanding by looking at this translation
of Gen. 1b-6 from a certain man’s studies:
1. The Supreme Being breath exhaled relaxed and brooded over and against
the faces of the ruin desolation.
2. Said the Supreme Being, “Exist illumination & happiness”
and existed the same.
3. And saw the Supreme Being the happiness & illumination had full
form and was good and well. And the Supreme Being divided the understanding
illumination from the ignorance and misery.
The Supreme Being called the illumination happiness, the warmth and the
ignorance and misery he called adversity.
4. And the security existed as morning; the warm existed properly unified
for the first time.
5. Then breathed he the live sundown until dawn of the warm hours and
were unified in collected thoughts for the first time.
6. Then communed the Supreme Being to exist by his breathe an expanse
pounded out in the center amid mass of waters to exist separate from the
rest of the waters.
Here we read of the first day of creation in a different light. By this
we can understand that when the Supreme Being spoke there existed the
illumination that organized the chaos of the ruin desolation. Then he
divided the understanding from the ignorance and misery. We are entering
the third day and the seventh day but we are also entering a new day or
the first day of the new creation. Our eyes of understanding are being
opened by the Supreme Being who is speaking to us “Exist illumination
and happiness and take full form and divide the understanding from the
ignorance and misery and walk in a day where you are unified in collective
thought for the first time. We see Jesus and we present ourselves as living
sacrifices in the holy of holies for we have been changed from glory to
glory by the spirit of the Lord. We are entering in the day when the mysteries
of God are being revealed to the servants of God who are putting on immortality
and walking in the day where 4. …the security existed as morning;
the warm existed properly unified for the first time. 5. Then breathed
he the live sundown until dawn of the warm hours and were unified in collected
thoughts for the first time.
When we enter the holy of holies, we do not see the ark nor do we see
the light until we step past the place of the veil. Let me explain from
an experience by a saint who walked by vision in the holy of holies.
“As the Spirit led me I approached the holy of holies. When I first
looked in, I saw nothing. It was not until I stepped from the visible
to the invisible that I became conscious of what I was seeing. For when
I passed the threshold where the veil should have been, I did not see
the ark. But suddenly I was the ark and out from me shone the shekinah
glory. The radiance of his being was not a separate piece of furniture
as I had sometimes experienced in the outer court and the holy place.
His living presence was shinning out from my person. It was the first
time that I realized Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless
I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live
in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me. I knew without human reason that in me was the hope
of glory and that out from me shone the express image of God. Heb 1:3
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person
for in his light we shall see light. I now knew that I was partaking of
the pot of manna and that out from me grew the rod of Aaron. They were
extension of what I had become. The word of God was in me, was written
in my mind, heart, and expressed from my mouth. I was the tablet of stone
only in incorruptible flesh. The veil that had been torn from the top
to the bottom, that is the veil of his flesh, was wrapped around me. I
had put on Christ in a way I never imagined. I knew I was the bride who
had made herself ready. The bride prepared and adorned for this time.
My youth has been restored and I stood as a young bride veiled and ready
to be married to my beloved. I knew the veil had been rent in twain for
the other half of the remaining veil was to be worn by Israel.
Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken
down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his
flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;
for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And I heard
a great voice from within me say. . . Behold,the tabernacle of God is
with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and
God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”
NT:3565
numphe (noom-fay'); from a primary but obsolete verb nupto (to veil as
a bride; compare Latin "nupto," to marry); a young married woman
(as veiled), including a bethrothed girl; by implication a son's wife:
KJV - bride, daughter in law.
NT:2885
kosmeo (kos-meh'-o); from NT:2889; to put in proper order, i.e. decorate
