Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
In one place, one Person, My Word dwelling with you, you find all. You can know the Way and never get lost. You can know the Truth and never be deceived. You can know and have true Life, the life that is life indeed, eternal, unending overflowing abundant life. And I am going to show you how. My Son is going to teach you.
But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. Matthew 23:8.
It is time you came to know the life I planned for you from the start. Jesus came that you might have life and have it abundantly. You should be living in the overflow of the double portion anointing of the firstborn. Most people, however, are not living what I sent Jesus to give you. They do not understand the gift I gave you. You can live your life through Him.
By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 1 John 4:9.
It is time for you to awaken to righteousness and live the life you were born to live that you might enjoy it.
Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. 1 Corinthians 15:34.
In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Listen to Jesus. I told you that on the mountain of transfiguration.
While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” Matthew 17:5.
Hear Him and He will show you the Way. He will reveal the truth. And in Him is the life, eternal life.
“When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with Me where I am. And you know the way to where I am going.” “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through Me.” John 14:3-6.
Where are you all headed on that wonderful Way?
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6.
You are headed home. Your true home. The home everyone is seeking, the place you left, like the prodigal son, but where you know you belong and you will never be satisfied anywhere else.
It is time to begin the journey home. You have gone around the worldly mountain of confusion long enough. It is time I brought clarity to your life. It is time we talked. Are you ready? Then let’s begin.
I am calling you on a new adventure. It is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is the only Way, He has the truth and He gives you eternal life. Let Him be your teacher. Taught by the Word, guided to all truth, and led to the pinnacle of life here and on to new heights forever.
Lift up your eyes and see! My ways are higher than your ways. Go higher with Me. It was for this that you came to this hour.
I AM the Way.
When Paul, then Saul, was arresting those who believed in My Son in the early days of the church they were referred to as people “of the Way.”
Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Acts 9:1-2.
But when I showed him My Yeshuah (Jesus) in His glory on the Road to Damascus, he too began walking the Way and never turned aside from his beautiful Savior, teacher, Master and Lord again.
Righteousness will go before Him and will make His footsteps into a way. Psalm 85:13.
Jesus is the Light of the world, all who follow Him have the light of life. In them springs up the water of life, leaping up to eternal life and filling the well spring of their earthen vessel until it can hold no more but must overflow. But this has to do with the truth and the life.
Today let us begin to consider the Way. Jesus has made a new and living way for you straight to My throne of grace that you can walk with confidence because I have raised you there with Him.
It is the path of the blood that He entered as a forerunner for you, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:19.
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:19-22.
To understand what Jesus is teaching you here you must go back to the roadmap home that I gave Moses that mirrored the reality in Heaven.
Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it. Exodus 25:8-9.
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” Hebrews 8:5.
The floor plan and furnishings, the sacrifices and symbols, of the tabernacle are so important for your instruction that three Books of the Bible center on the Tabernacle in the Wilderness and there are numerous references throughout the Bible to this fascinating dwelling place with its furnishings and structure, even in the Book of Hebrews. I devote instruction that spans twelve chapters in the Book of Exodus regarding the funding, detailed design, construction and erection of the Tabernacle and the garments and anointing of the priests who serve there. The Book of Leviticus primarily has to do with the sacrifices, offerings, festivals, and regulations for the priests and ministers of the Tabernacle, as well as the protocol for the people therein. The first ten chapters of the Book of Numbers and numerous references in the Book of Deuteronomy pertain to the arrangement of the tribes around the Tabernacle, the transporting of the Tabernacle, and various aspects of the Tabernacle and the people’s interaction with it. Their lives were centered around and focused on the Tabernacle. Their relationship and communication with Me centered upon the Tabernacle. The direction of their journey in the desert towards the Promised Land was directed by My cloud of glory that continually hovered over the Tabernacle as My Dwelling Place among them. And there I spoke to Moses, “There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.” Exodus 25:22.
In fact, I revealed to Moses, the Tabernacle was on My heart when I brought the Israelites out of Egypt: “I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar; I will also consecrate Aaron and his sons to minister as priests to Me. I will dwell among the sons of Israel and will be their God. They shall know that I am the LORD their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might dwell among them; I am the LORD their God.” Exodus 29:45-46.
I gave Moses a visual of this timeline of salvation and the road home to Eden before giving him the calendar of the appointed times, and I did this in the plan I gave Him for the Tabernacle, which was constructed to be a dwelling place for Me among Mys people as they traveled with Me to the land I had promised to Abraham for his descendants.
It was an intricate mobile structure full of rich symbolism, amazing furnishings, and yet it was easily folded up and carried on poles on the shoulders of the Levites and Levitical priests. And the detail that I gave Moses to construct it included the dimensions, the number of rings and poles to carry it, and its organization and construction.
And the sacrificial offerings made there by My command shielded the people from divine judgment. To atone for the people and oversee the sacrificial offerings, I established the office of the High Priest and his priest sons that kept the relationship between God and the people viable and strong. Jesus now holds this office forever. Hebrews 6:20.
All these things were a shadow of the good things to come, Hebrews 10:1, all fulfilled in Jesus, true God and true Man, who reconciles us to God and joins our humanity to the divinity and the divinity to our humanity in one seamless life.
Now look at the basic plan of the Tabernacle in the wilderness:
The gate to the outer court faces east, the place of the sunrise, it is the beginning of your journey of salvation. You come with your unblemished lamb of sacrifice and your sins are atoned for as the lamb is offered on the bronze altar by the priests to atone for your sins as the burnt offering (Passover). The journey continues with the washing in the bronze laver (Unleavened bread and First Fruits) (baptism, and the renewing of your mind in the Word), entering the inner court (Pentecost), through the veil in a cloud of incense on the golden altar (Trumpets), applying the blood by sprinkling it on the Mercy Seat (Day of Atonement) and entering into fellowship and partnership with Me I speak with you from above the Mercy Seat (Tabernacles).
The plan of the Tabernacle synchronizes perfectly with the Jewish religious calendar beginning with Passover and ending with the Feast of Tabernacles. It shows you the path of Salvation and sanctification. It shows you about Jesus, the unblemished Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, the great High Priest that ushers us into the Holy of Holies, the Light of the World (Lampstand (Menorah) of pure gold with seven lamps), the Bread of Life come down from Heaven (the Showbread (Bread of the Presence, Bread of the Face)), present among us in the Holy of Holies, taking us to the throne of grace.
The tabernacle shows you My heart to be dwelling among you and walking with you as I give you My direction and counsel. It follows the plan of Psalm 23 as you walk with your Good Shepherd.
Psalm 23 is the story of your Salvation. It is the story of the Way home. It begins in the fellowship between us in the abundance of the Garden of Eden. There, in perfect fellowship, I led you in paths of righteousness, but then all changes as you go off into the dark valley of the shadow of death, but the great good Shepherd never leaves you, Jesus lays down His life to bring you out of the dark valley and He sets a banquet table of His Word before you for you to feed upon to renew your minds and grow in faith and His grace, as you are born again by the imperishable Word, coming under the anointed One and His anointing as the Oil of Joy flows down over your heads and fills up your cups until your cups overflow, and then surrounding and pursuing you who have followed Him out of the dark valley sin and death with My goodness and lovingkindness I seat you with and in Christ back on the throne of the Son of Man in My house at My right hand, the very Holy of holies, forever.
You now can stay deep within Me in the very Holy of holies led there by your forerunner, Jesus your great High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. And you have the same anointing as His royal priesthood. And that anointing is the anointing with the oil of joy. Psalm 45:7; Hebrews 1:8-9. You cannot but help be filled with joy and the Holy Spirit if you are in Christ, the Messiah, the anointed One, and under His anointing. I anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit, that is, with the Holy Spirit together as One, for the Holy Spirit too is a priest forever, for He is Melchizedek. The King of Righteousness, the Priest of the Most High, and King of Peace, for it is the Holy Spirit within you that makes you holy.
I put great importance on you understanding the things that are revealed in the timeline and in the Tabernacle so we will know the Way home and the signs of the times and never fear.
“But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” Luke 21:28.
Now consider this, as if Jesus were walking through the Tabernacle and the shadow of the good things to come finds its substance in Jesus so that the shadows flee away as no longer needed in the Light of Christ, and then you can understand the plan of the Tabernacle in the reality of Jesus.
First, He enters for us as your perfect unblemished lamb of sacrifice that takes away the sins of the world as if you all stood at the East Gate and laid your hands on His head transferring your sins to Him and His purity to you. Then He is slain and His blood poured out once for all. So Passover is fulfilled and the bronze altar has become obsolete. There is no further offering for sin. Hebrews 10:18. Your judgment has been paid in full and Jesus paid it once for all. Hebrews 10:10; Hebrews 7:27.
Then He steps up to the bronze laver and in Him all the leaven of sin is removed so that the feast of unleavened bread has become obsolete. Then, in the waters of baptism the Holy Spirit regenerates you who believe by the imperishable seed of the Word and you die with Jesus in baptism and are raised with Him (First Fruits).
And with the risen Lord, you now can enter the first inner court with Him as His body the Church where you are filled with the Holy Spirit (Pentecost fulfilled) and the Church age begins with the Bread of Life on the northside (symbolizing the bread come down from Heaven) and the Golden Lampstand, the Light of the World, on the south side and He lights your lamp (spirit).
He then, as High Priest, carries His blood into the Holy of Holies in atonement for our sins in a cloud of incense that pulls us all in (Trumpets, yet to come) to the throne of grace as He puts His blood upon the Mercy Seat (Day of Atonement, yet to come), as you remain to dwell with Him in the Holy of Holies seated with Him at My right Hand (Tabernacles, yet to come.
And that is the new and living way. It is yours in Him. You just have to keep walking with Him.
I love you. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and He is the only WAY to Me.
