The purpose of animal sacrifice was the temporary atonement for sin under the old covenant. It was a foreshadow to the Perfect Sacrifice and perfected atonement for sin through Yeshua who is YHWH/God come in the flesh. When Messiah was crucified and presented His Body as a Living Sacrifice, the Perfect Passover Lamb, it nullified physical sacrifices. Continue reading “The Living Temple”
The “Wailing Wall”…the remains of the temple?
You may have heard that the “Wailing Wall”, or the Western Wall, is what remains of the second temple that was around when Yeshua came, and has been a source of conflict for many years. However is this true? or have we been deceived into believing such? Continue reading “The “Wailing Wall”…the remains of the temple?”

I thought it to be quite interesting when I came across this passage in my reading last night and this morning:

Wormwood: Partaking in the Bitter Waters that flow from the Heart
In the book of Rev(ch 8) it talks of a third of the waters becoming “wormwood”, and many men dying. Wormwood is interpreted as “intense bitterness”, so are we looking for literal waters that are becoming bitter, or rather waters becoming bitter from within our own heart? Is it also perhaps a curse that comes upon us when we walk according to our own ways?
We are all liken to clay earthen vessels. A vessel is used for a great many things, one of the things it is made for, is to hold water.
Depending on the water source, what is poured into the vessel, will also be poured out. For those who have been crucified with Messiah, partake in the Living Water, and out of them should flow the Spirit.
However, within earthen vessels, it is also possible for a pure water source to be poured into it, but becomes contaminated, due to bitter waters dwelling already within it. It is one thing to be a poured out offering and to pour into others; however, what is being poured out from another to another, should be the same water source; the same Spirit.

Originally written on October 21, 2016.
Over and over again, we are told throughout Scripture, not to defile Yah’s Temple, and to cleanse ourselves WHOLLY…body, soul, and spirit:
