The Objective

The Objective

The object of service was to set forth and preserve the ground of YAH’S presence with man. The whole objective of the Bible is Adonai’s Shekinah dwelling with man.

The last thing in the Bible is the declaration that The Tabernacle of Adonai is with men, and He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people.  That is the final chapter in the Bible; Adonai’s plan has been accomplished.

It was always Adonai’s desire from day one to dwell with man, to be present.  If Yisrael had fulfilled its priestly ministry, wherever men and women go they would meet YAHVEH. They would say, Adonai is here! If these people were not only concerned with correct doctrine, Teaching, practice, and form; we would meet YAHVEH when we meet them.

We are failing in our ministry when YAHVEH cannot be found in the midst of the Five-Fold ministry. Unless Adonai is found in the ministry, individually and corporately, we are like a ship tied to the harbor, and the anchor in down, yet the ship is in full sail.

What Satan hates the most, is coming into full maturity in The Messiyah. It is essential for the redeemed to gather together in YAHVEHs name, for there He is. Part of ministry is to provide a ground for YAH’S people, and to bring Adonai in so that we can have a burning bush experience like Moses, or a Damascus road experience as Paul did.

One of the utmost expressions of Adonai’s authority in scripture is when Adonai’s Shekinah came down upon the Tabernacle (Mishkan) in the wilderness. It was Adonai’s response to the completion of the Tabernacle in all its detail. Adonai covered and filled the Tabernacle with His Shekinah, His awesome presence, in the form of a Cloud of His Glory. Remember the pillar of cloud that Adonai used to lead the Children of Yisrael through the wilderness? This was the cloud of Adonai’s glory, the Shekinah Glory, the cloud that descended upon the Tabernacle a prophetic illustration of what will happen when we build our personal Tabernacle His way.

There is a great difference between the cloud and the fire that protected them by day and night, and the Shekinah that descended on the final product. Moses was not able to enter the Tabernacle, when the cloud of YAH’S glory descended upon it. In comparison to when the cloud of Adonai’s Glory descended upon Mt. Sinai, and Moses tent, that was set up for worship.  Moses was able to stand before Adonai’s glory in both cases, but now he was not able to stand before Adonai as He filled the Tabernacle. Deut. 4: 

Hebrew 12:²² But I must die in this land, I must not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and possess that good land. ²³ Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of YAHVEH your YAHVEH which He made with you, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which YAHVEH your YAHVEH has forbidden you. ²⁴ For YAHVEH your YAHVEH is a consuming fire, a jealous YAHVEH. ²⁹ For our YAHVEH is a consuming fire.

 I John 1: ⁵ This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that YAHVEH is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

As the pillar of Cloud descended upon the completed Tabernacle, there was obviously a burst of light that broke forth from the Holy of Holies, a burst of light that broke forth in all the splendor, and radiance, illuminating the very presence of Adonai.

The Shekihah of Adonai manifested itself in the brightest light imaginable. The light of YAHVEH was shining so bright that even Moses could not enter without being blinded or consumed. Adonai was showing His people a very special manifestation of His presence, what they had missed by not going up to Mt. Sinai to meet with Him. Adonai awesome presence was so awesome it had to remain in the most Holy Place right above the Mercy Seat.

Notice how Adonai plays hide and seek with His people. He hides Himself in the Holy of Holies and sets up five Altars for the five ministries for each and everyone to experience in order for us to find the way to Him. Whenever the cloud of His glory lifted it was time for the people to start marching. When it and we as believers experience all that we have to experience at a particular Altar, the cloud that covers our understanding will be lifted is time for us to move to the next experience in Adonai. Never be worried whenever we do not understand particular dealings in the Spiritual realm, just ask for the Spirit of Understanding to assist you in your search for further understanding of the Messiyah.

By seeing the cloud by day and the fire by night the Children of Yisrael knew that Adonai was with them, guiding and protecting them as they journeyed to the Promised Land. The cloud of Adonai’s presence will always be with us through our period of trial and testing (40).

Numbers 9:²²  Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, the children of Yisrael would remain encamped and not journey; but when it was taken up, they would journey. ²³At the command of YAHVEH they remained encamped, and at the command of YAHVEH they journeyed; they kept the charge of YAHVEH, at the command of YAHVEH by the hand of Moses.

There is a specific pattern for us, as believers, to experience in order for us to behold His Shekinah; there is no substitute in that order. His charges to us must be completed in every detail.

What caused the Shekinah of Adonai to fill the Tabernacle? What stirred Adonai to bless His people with this special experience, this very special manifestation of His very presence? Obedience! When we obey Adonai, we keep His commandments, His precepts, His statues, and His charges and do exactly what He commands. Adonai will give us a very special and very deep manifestation of His presence. It is also evident that when we have a very special need, He will give us a most special manifestation of His Shekinah, just because we are obedient to Him.

When we obey Adonai like Moses and build our personal tabernacle place for Adonai, He will fill it with His Presence and Glory.

Exodus 40:³⁴ Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of YAHVEH filled the tabernacle. ³⁵And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of YAHVEH filled the tabernacle.

It is when we are filled with His Shekinah, that we do not need anyone to access Adonai for us; we will be able to see Him face to face as Moses did. Notice that Moses was not able to enter the Holy of Holies. This is what it is all about, the full and complete manifestation of the Presence of Adonai.

When Solomon obeyed Adonai and built a dwelling Place, the Shekinah of Adonai filled the Temple with His presence and glory.

I King 8:¹⁰ And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of YAHVEH, ¹¹ so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of YAHVEH filled the house of YAHVEH. ¹² Then Solomon spoke: YAHVEH said He would dwell in the dark cloud. ¹³ I have surely built You an exalted house, And a place for You to dwell in forever

When we as Redeemed believers obey Adonai and build our personal tabernacle His way, for Him to dwell in us, He will fill the heart of the believer with His very presence and glory.

John 14:²¹ He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.

The Shekinah of Adonai was so brilliant and intense that Moses was unable to draw near to His presence. But what Moses could not do in that he was weak through the flesh, Yahushua did, by being obedient in the absolute sense. Yahushua was never disobedient to His Father, He was sinless, perfect before Adonai, and therefore He was able to enter into the very presence of Adonai, not only for Himself but also for all of humanity as our High Priest. Yahushua opened up a new and living way into the Presence of Adonai; it is through Yahushua that we can approach Adonai in a new and living way.

Hebrew 10:¹⁹  Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, ²¹ and having a High Priest over the house of YAHVEH,

 ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

²⁴ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

It is through Yahushua we shall inherit the Promised Land of Heaven, where we will live with Adonai forever. This is what Yahushua prophesied to us concerning the promises of Adonai, concerning the Holy of Holies, through The Book of Revelation. In His final message to the seven churches, Yahushua expresses His deepest wish and a promise with a reward, note carefully:

Revelation 2: Church in Pergamos ¹⁷ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”  

Revelation 2: Church in Thyatira ²⁶ And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations, ²⁷ He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’— as I also have received from My Father; ²⁸ and I will give him the morning star. ²⁹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3: Church in Sardis ⁵ He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. ⁶ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3: Church in Philadelphia ¹² He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My YAHVEH, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My YAHVEH and the name of the city of My YAHVEH, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My YAHVEH. And I will write on him My new name. ¹³ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Revelation 3: Church of the Laodiceans  ²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. ²² He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

It is the ultimate objective of the Mighty Hand of YAHVEH to take the people to a place where they will pray the prayer as is depicted in psalms 119. The essence of righteousness is living right; right living according to the righteous laws, precepts, statues, instructions, and commandants of YAHVEH.
