I Am YHWH Who Sanctifies You

 

Ex 31:13

 

 

 

 

 

 

"But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall surely observe My shabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am YHWH who sanctifies you. Therefore you are to keep the shabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. For six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day there is a shabbath of complete rest, holy to YHWH; whoever does any work on the shabbath day shall surely be put to death. So the sons of Israel shall observe the shabbath, to keep the shabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant. It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested, and was refreshed" (Ex. 31:13-17).

 

This wonderful Name of the LORD is standing in the holy Shabbath command like the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden of GOD. No one can experience the LORD as our Holiness, unless he passes through the River Jordan, like the children of Israel, into “the Land Flowing with Milk and Honey”  ארץ זבת חלב ודבש  = the Shabbath-Land. The only way into His Rest is to die from self, to die and arise with Mashiach (Hebrews 4:3-11; Psalm 95:7-11). The stones on the bottom of the River Jordan testify that we have been buried with Mashiach by His death; and the new, clean stones lifted up from the river bed and placed at Gilgal (Josh. 4) speak about us as being raised with Mashiach as an entirely new creation, where the LORD is our HOLINESS.

 

For the sanctification of the old man is a paradox, an impossibility. The old man is a sinner, he must die. Don’t spare Agag! (= EGO, self). 1 Samuel 15:2-23, 32-33.

 

“I Am YHWH Who Sanctifies You” is written in the very first verse of this holy Shabbath command which shows us that it is also the GATE into the holy Shabbath rest of GOD.

 

The LORD says, “You shall be holy, for I YHWH am holy” (Lev. 11:44-45; 19:2; 1 Peter 1:16). How shall a sinful man make himself holy? Impossibly!

How wonderfully, GOD speaks, “I Am YHWH Who Sanctifies You.” How does He do that???

 

 

N 591 = 3 * 197.  by the power of the perfect, victorious Lamb on the Cross

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and shall bring forth a son, and call his name Immanuel” (Is. 7:14; Mat. 1:20-23). “Immanuel” N 197; it means “GOD with us.”

 

“For there is one GOD, <and one Mediator also between GOD and men, the Man Mashiach Yeshua>” (1 Tim. 2:5). < > N 62 * 197

 

Yeshua Mashiach Himself said to GOD: “I sanctify myself for them, that they also may be sanctified by the Truth” (John 17:19.

 

“By GOD’S will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Yeshua Mashiach once for all. — For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified” (Hebr. 10:10, 14). On the “Cross, stauros” S 7 * 197

 

 

P 132 = 22 * 3 * 11  by the power of the Blood of the Chosen One (12) who was cut off; lifted up (11)

 

“Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And  the Roman governor Pilate said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" So they cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar” (John 19:14-15).

 

“When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this Man's blood; see to that yourselves." And all the people said, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!" Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Yeshua scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified. (Matthew 27:24-26).

 

“When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. But Yeshua was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves. And the people stood by, looking on. And even the rulers were sneering at Him, saying, "He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Mashiach of God, His Chosen One." The soldiers also mocked Him, coming up to Him, offering Him vinegar, and saying, "If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!" Now there was also an inscription above Him, "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS." (Luke 23:33-38).

 

“We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Yeshua also, that He might sanctify the people through His own blood, suffered outside the gate. So, let us go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach. (Hebrews 13:10-13; read Leviticus 4:11-12; 16:27).

 

 

R 459 = 33 x 17  a spring of Holiness sanctifying us thoroughly

 

“When Yeshua therefore had received the vinegar, He said, "It is finished." And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” — After that “one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith there came out blood and water” (John 19:30, 34).

 

"In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity. (Zech. 13:1)

 

"These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?" I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:13-14)

 

If we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yeshua His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:7-9)

 

 

S 723 = 3 x 241  by the Holy Spirit as we walk in His Light

 

As the children of Israel had to follow the pillar of cloud or “pillar of fire” (S 2 * 241), so we must follow “the Holy Spirit” (N3 * 241) in all to live an overcoming life.

 

For as many as are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” (Rom. 8:14).

 

“But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall no way fulfil flesh's lust. — If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit (Gal. 5:15, 25).

 

“Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you to the place that I have prepared. Be careful in his presence, and hearken unto his voice: do not provoke him, for he will not forgive your transgressions; for MY NAME IS IN HIM. But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries” (Exo. 23:20-22).

 

Yeshua Mashiach spoke, "I Am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life" (John 8:12). — "While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light” (John 12:36).

 

“This was the secret of the overcoming life of our Lord Yeshua, as He said: “Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of Himself save whatever He sees the Father doing: for whatever things He does, these things also the Son does in like manner” (John 5:19).

 

“I have set YHWH continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved” (Psalm 16:8). Thus also we must keep our eyes upon Yeshua to be guided by His Holy Spirit, and more than overcome.

 

 

N• 595 = 5 * 7 * 17  the Most Holy One gave His Blood for us, sinners, to sanctify us perfectly.

 

= “<YHWH kills, and makes alive>; He brings down to Sheol, and brings up”  < > N• 595  P• 136  R• 459  S• 731 (1 Sam. 2:6), exactly as in “I Am YHWH Who Sanctifies You.”

 

GOD let His holy Son die in our stead the death we deserved, that we may be dead to sin and raised with Him from the dead as a new, holy creation in Him (P• 136 = 8 * 17), as holy and beloved sons of GOD, living a victorious life (S• 731 = 17 * 43). Glorious message in the numerical values!

 

“For the love of the Mashiach constrains us, having judged this: that one died for all, then all have died; and he died for all, that they who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised. —  So if any one be in Mashiach, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:14-17).

 

“We too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Mashiach (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenlies in the Anointed Yeshua, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Mashiach Yeshua” (Eph. 2:3-7).

 

Out of the blackest coal came forth a diamond!

 

 

P• 136 = 8 * 17  a holy and true new creation

 

“If the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Mashiach, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Heb. 9:13-14)

 

“You have put off according to the former manner of living the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts; and are being renewed in the spirit of your mind; and you have put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4:22-24).

 

“Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new who is being renewed into full knowledge according to the image of Him that has created him; wherein there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Mashiach is everything, and in all (Col. 3:9-11).

 

“Of GOD are you in the Anointed Yeshua, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption” (1 Cor. 1:30).

 

 

R• 459 = 33 * 17  =  R  see above

 

 

S 731 = 17 * 43 =  He purifies the beloved sons of God like gold in fire.

43 is Yedidyah “the Beloved of YHWH” (2. Sam. 12:25).

 

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Mashiach rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful” (Col. 3:12-15).

 

“For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of sonship by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Mashiach, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him” (Rom. 8:15-17).

 

“My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD or loathe His reproof, for whom the LORD loves He reproves, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights" (Heb. 12:5-6). Our Father in heaven disciplines us — purifying our faith like gold in fire — in order that we may partake of His holiness in character — and infinite glory.

 

"He will be <like a refiner's fire>, and like fullers' lye. And He shall sit as a Refiner and Purifier of silver; and He will purify the sons of Levi (the priesthood), and purge them as gold and silver; and they shall offer unto Yahweh an oblation in righteousness" (Mal. 3:2-3, < > N 731).

 

"I counsel you to buy of Me gold purified by Fire" (Rev. 3:18).

 

The diamond must be polished to become a brilliant for His crown (Zech. 9:16; Is. 62:3).

 

Look at this beautiful number 731 (cf. 73). It expresses the glorious victory of these purified sons of GOD. Yeshua Mashiach promises them:

 

“He who overcomes, and he who keeps my deeds until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from my Father; and I will give him the Morning Star” (Rev. 2:26-28).

 

And again He speaks: “He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne” (Rev. 3:21).

 

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which your intelligent sacrificial service" (Rom. 12:1).

 

Also our Isaac must be sacrificed upon the altar of GOD, an offering by Fire to Him of a sweet odor.

 

Give your all upon the altar of the LORD. Let Him consume you in His holy Fire, so that only the pure gold, Mashiach in you, remains.
