Chag sameach Rosh Chodesh Mispachah, a very Blessed New Year to you all, and a warm welcome to this very special assembly at sunrise, the first service of its kind we have ever held and quite possibly the last of its kind too. If you weren't with us two day's ago on the last sabbath of the previous year or are not aware of what Yahweh is doing right right in the middle of a global pandemic, I would invite you to afterwards visit our Last Exodus website so that you will better understand what will be happening over the next seven days before the start of the Passover Season in thirteen days' time or the Late Passover a month after that in May.

We are here, under divine leading, to devote seven days to the Raising of the End-Time New Covenant Melchizedek Priesthood Tabernacle or perhaps, to be more accurate, a re-raising. We are not here to build a physical structure. Indeed, we are not here to 'build' anything at all that can either be seen or touched with the physical. This is something only Yahweh has the power to build.

The first recorded Tabernacle was that of the Navi (Prophet) Moses, which has supplied the divine tavnith or pattern for all later tabernacles. We followed this same tavnith (pattern) in the Dedication of Messianic Israel five years ago. The second Tabernacle was that of David followed by the third Tabernacle of Solomon, also known as the 'First Temple'. The fourth Tabernacle, known as the 'Second Temple', was rebuilt by the Cohen Gadol or High Priest, Zerubbabel, after the return of Judah and Benjamin from the Babylonian captivity. This same fourth tabernacle or second temple was expanded by Herod the Great before its destruction in 70 AD by the Romans. All these tabernacles or temples were after the Aaronic Order and were administered by the Aaronic or Levitical Priesthood.

A fifth tabernacle or third temple after this preparatory order was offered by Yahweh through the navi (prophet) Ezekiel to the the Israelite and Judahite captives in Assyria and Babylonia, respectively, if they would make teshuvah (repent) but they refused. It is this same temple seen in vision by Ezekiel that modern Messiah-rejecting Jews are attempting to build in modern Jerusalem (the 'City of Hagar'), the one that was permanently denied Israel because of their implaccable hostility to Yahweh. It might aptly be called the 'temple rejected by apostacy'.

The 21st century copy, whose building materials are waiting now to be assembled, is a false temple, along with the antichrist zionic movement that is behind its building in an utterly pagan city. We have to have absolutely nothing to do with it because it has nothing whatsoever to do with authentic Israel in the latter days. Indeed, the Jews waiting to build this temple believe their messiah - yet another false christ - will reveal himself this passover.

Both the first four tabernacles, two temples, and the Aaronic priesthood that administered them, foreshadowed the spiritual tabernacle or temple erected without human hands by Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), our Eternal Cohen Gadol (High Priest) after the order of Melchizedek whose individual 'stones' or 'bricks' are saved souls and who collectively are the Messianic Bride - the Messianic Community or 'Church'. All who are authentically born-again by the Ruach haQodesh or Holy Spirit, those who are spiritually regenerated - those who have received the New Creation Life within them - are today an organic part of that original 'Third Temple' - living stones, of whom Christ is the cornerstone (1 Pet.2:6-7) - consisting of both the living and those who have already departed from the earth.

The Body of Messiah is, two thousand years later, in complete chaos and disarray. Before Yahweh can inhabit it again in power and in the fullness, as He did through a massive infusion of the Ruach (Spirit) on the day of the First Messianic Shavu'ot, Feast of Weeks or 'Pentecost', in that special gathering in Jerusalem, He must once again revitalise, re-infuse, re-empower and redirect the End Time Tabernacle of Messiah which means casting out all the false spirits masquering as the true Ruach haQodesh and restructuring the inward temple, that is each Messiah-surrendered, Torah-compliant, born-again, spiritually regenerated soul. That must begin individually, and especially, during the coming Passover Season, and then collectively or corporately as a Body beginning at Shavu'ot (Weeks/'Pentecost') and coming to a climax and complete filling - a new filling - at the First Messianic Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles so that there is an advance guard or welcoming party anointed to go out and meet the returning Saviour when He returns in the sky. Whether that happens all at once this year or at a later time over several years, I have not been told, but I suspect there is much to be done first in scouring us out even further until the inside is fully clean.

It is my task this morning, before we commence the Dedication, to explain, in part, how this must be done. If you read the 36th through to the 40th chapters of the Book of Exodus you will find the order of construction detailed. This reveals to us the order in which Yahweh works on us, the very opposite way in which we must approach Him. This is the order:

• 1. The curtains for the Tabernacle;
• 2. The building materials (acacia wood and gold) for the Ark of the Covenant, including the Mercy Seat and the Cherubim, fashioned out of a single piece of gold for the Holy of Holies (Yahweh's Chamber);
• 3. The Table for the Bread of Presence for the Holy Place (Yah'shua's Chamber);
• 4. The Menorah or Lampstand, likewise fashioned out of a single piece of gold, for the Holy Place (Yah'shua's Chamber);
• 5. The Altar of Incense, for the Holy Place (Yah'shua's Chamber);
• 6. The anointing oils (representing spiritual anointings);
• 7. The Altar of Burned Offering (for sacrifices, in the Courtyard);
• 8. The Brazen Altar (for purification, in the Courtyard);
• 9. The Courtyard of the Tabernacle is enclosed; and
• 10. The Vestments of the Priesthood.

Some of the details in Ezekiel appear to be 'missing', but they are not, because this phase concerns only the implementation of Yahweh's instructions or mitzvot (commandments). This concerns only the blueprint or plan. Later, other details are added because the stress is then laid of the Israelites themselves on what they must do.

The order of instructions are important because we are being given a heavenly view, from Yahweh's perspective. Yahweh commences creation from His centre - from the Holy of Holies - whereas we must commence our journey from outside the Tabernacle as a whole, and do so step-by-step, because that is how sanctfifcation works. We grow closer to Yahweh-Elohim a little at a time which is not to be confused - as so many Christians are - with the legal or jurisdictional rights given to believers to approach Yahweh through the shed Blood of Messiah on the cross. The construction of the Tabernacle which I related to you, reflects this growth process in reverse order. Indeed, if you prayerfully meditate on this, you will see the same pattern or tavnith in the Creation itself, ending with the Creation of man on the second half of the sixth day, a matter we do not have time to take up today.

Brethren and sisters, we are gathered for seven days to invite Yah'shua (Jesus) to completely change and restructure us within, supernaturally, by the power of the Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit) so that as Messianic Israel we can become a Living Priesthood - the New Covenant Melchizedek Priesthood - inwardly fitted for service as vessels of His presence and New Creation Life, before the new round of annual festivals begins. We cannot do this ourselves - we, as both individual and collective Tabernacles, have to be changed from the Throne Room - the Holy of Holies - outwards out to the Courtyard. This is the Prayer Journey tavnith or pattern we shall be following:

The end of this chapter in Exodus 40 reads:

"Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle. Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of Yahweh was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys" (Ex.40:34-38, NKJV).

Speaking of the Final Exodus and a parallel event which will yet happen to the last generation:

"And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, 'We will eat our own food and wear our own apparel; only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.' In that day the Branch of Yahweh shall be beautiful and glorious; and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and appealing for those of Israel who have escaped.

"And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called qadosh (holy, set-apart) -- everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. When Yahweh has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning, then Yahweh will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering. And there will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain" (Isa.4, NKJV).

And now, brethren and sisters, let us assemble around the altars of our hearts, and approach our Father, Yahweh-Elohim, through His Son, Yah'shua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), His only begotten. And let us do so with broken hearts and contrite spirits because we are not coming in our own strength today. We declare that we have assembled here, with the solemnity of eternity of mind, to petition our full deliverance out of the spiritual bondage that is in the world and from all our enemies and oppressors. We have assembled so that we might be wholly free of the chains which hold us down, from the infirmities of age and sickness to the infirmities that are the passions of youth and the headiness that comes therefrom.

The Word resounds from Mount Zion against the rulers of this world:

Rulers of Sodom! hear the voice of heaven's eternal Lord;
Men of Gomorrah! Bend your ear submissive to His Word,
'Tis thus He speaks; To what intent are your oblations vain?
Why load My altars with your gifts, polluted and profane?

Burnt-offerings long may blaze to heav'n, and incense cloud the skies;
The worship and the worshipper are hateful in My eyes.
Your rites, your fasts, your pray'rs, I scorn, and pomp of solemn days:
I know your hearts are full of guile, and crooked are your ways.

But cleanse your hands, ye guilty race, and cease from deeds of sin;
Learn in your actions to be just, and pure in heart within.
Mock not My Name with honours vain, but keep my holy laws;
Do justice to the friendless poor, and plead the widow's cause.

Then though your guilty souls are stain'd with sins of crimson dye,
Yet, through My grace, with snow itself in whiteness shall they vie. (Is.1:10-19)

Now I am speaking to those who are of the Remnant, those who desire to gather up before Yahweh-Elohim, those who desire to know His truth, those who desire to walk in holiness and purity, and to receive empowerment not to consume on their own justs or to justify themselves, not in order to win fame, but so they can carry out His tasks and His plans at this time.

So we come before the Throne of Grace, Father Yahweh-Elohim, this morning, at dawn here in Sweden on behalf of all of those who are gathering, either at this hour or later on today. We gather, to petition You, in the depths of the darkness which so many of us feel, all the trials and tribulations which we are experiencing, or have experienced, we as, Father, that You would manifest in our spirits in a new, vibrant, and powerful way, so that we can be lifted up from the dust and into Your Presence, so that we can go out, and be about Your Kingdom tasks.

We desire nothing else. We do not wish to build our own kingdoms, we are not here to build our own ministries, we are not here to seek glory for ourselves but only, Father, to be mirrors - to be reflections - of Your Light. And we ask that You would arise in our spirits on this the first of seven days. We stand ready to receive that with joy, anticipation, knowing that it is Your will to do us good. We know it is Your good will, Father, to see good things happen in our lives, and we know that we are here to suffer if needs be, as Your Son suffered for us at Calvary. And we declare that we are willing to do that, even if the flesh revolts; it is the flesh we want silenced, crucified, and stilled so that we can walk in Your will, whatever it may be. We declare this not just in word but in very deed itself. And it is with that spirit that we come before You, Holy Father, today asking that You would begin, throughout this day, to manifest in our spirit.

We covenant before You, Father, that we will come before You in prayer throughout this day to seek You in our spirits. We look forward with great anticipation in the days to come for Your manifestation in the rest of our soul, and collectively, Father, as the Body of Messiah.

We give You thanks, we praise Your Holy Name, we ask You to especially bless those who are particularly languishing at this time, those who are distressed or alone, those who are experiencing great pain, those who are infirm, those who are being troubled by this coronavirus disease. We rebuke that disease in Yah'shua's (Jesus') Name, we ask You to take it away from our midst, Father, and indeed away from our doors.

We petition You to drive the Gentile, allegorically-speaking, out of the Outer Court. We are claiming the Outer Court back for the Remnant. And with these thoughts and prayers, we commit ourselves to You this day, looking forward with great anticipation. We thank You for what we have and what You have already done for us in Yah'shua's (Jesus') Name. Amen.

May Yahweh bless this first day of this special Dedication at which we have been commanded to assemble. May you indeed experience the richness and joys of His presence today. I look forward to seeing you again this evening for those of you who are joining in the celebration of the Nativity and again tomorrow morning. Yahweh bless you all. Amen.

Comments from Readers

[1] "In Luke 4:16-21 Yah'shua speaks of the acceptable year of the Lord (Yahweh) closing the book! Quoting Isaiah 61:1-2 breaking the verse. I believe this was Aviv 1, also TODAY this is is FULFILLED with the COMPLETE verse. So THIS YEAR is both the acceptable year of the Lord (Yahweh) AND the day of VENGEANCE of our God (Elohim) in this PENULTIMATE fulfilling of the prophecy awaiting the ULTIMATE fulfilment in a later generation. I recommend you read, The Competition of the Altars by A.A.Leenhouts this Passover Season! I do not think John 6:4 is original scripture. Yah'shua's ministry was little more than one year after thr Chadim pulgrim feasts, first PASSOVER 8Pesach) in John 2:13, then Feast of WEEKS (Shavu'ot) in John 5:1, then SUKKOT in John 7:2-39 and finally the late PASSOVER (Pesach) in John 19:14-20:25. It seems that Eusebius made up a 3½ ministry after his understanding of Daniel and John 6:4 creeping into later texts. It is NOT in the earliest manuscripts and it destroys the acceptable YEAR of the Lord (Yahweh)!" (GL, Sweden, 25 March 2020).
