ISRAEL IS A BACKSLIDDEN HEIFER
It has been revealed these past couple of days that the red heifer that is used to
produce the ashes for the water of separation is symbolic of what each of us
needs to become.
We need to become the red heifer that is purified in the fire along with the
hyssop and the scarlet and the cedar.
When we do, the water of separation is turned into Yehshua’s blood and we are
made clean by having it sprinkled upon us if we touch the dead.
And in like manner, so are the water that we are baptized under and the water
that we bathe with when we become unclean for other reasons.
It has been shown that the heifer is symbolic of those of the scattered nations of
Israel.
But His word also says that all can be engrafted into Israel through walking in His
covenant.
This is even partially revealed within the instructions for the water of separation.
Here is what YEHWEH told us regarding this water and the sojourners;
Numbers 19
10 And he that gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and be
unclean until the evening: This shall be A PERPETUAL STATUTE to the children of
Israel AND TO THE STRANGER THAT SOJOURNS AMONG THEM.
We are to become the heifer in the manner that Yehshua became Elohiym’s lamb.
Scripture testifies that Yehshua became the lamb.
The question that you might have is, are there any scriptures that testify to Israel
as being a heifer?
The answer is yes.
And these verses are talking about a prophecy for the last days.
Hos 4:14-16
14 You do not punish your daughters when they do whoredom, nor your
spouses when they commit adultery because you yourselves are separated unto
whores and you sacrifice with prostitutes: THE PEOPLE WITH NO
UNDERSTANDING WILL FALL.
He said in the preceding verses in verse 6 that because you have rejected His
knowledge He is going to reject you.
In the same verse He says because you have forgotten Elohiym’s Torah He is going
to forget you.
His Torah teaches us and gives us understanding.
The reference to sacrificing with prostitutes means you worship with the false
shepherds that you pay to serve you in your whoredom.
15 If you, Israel did not play the whore and Judah was not guilty, for you do not
come to Gilgal and you go up to Beth-aven, nor do you swear YEHWEH lives.
16 Because Israel is stubborn LIKE A BACKSLIDING (STUBBORN) HEIFER, now
YEHWEH will feed you like a lamb in the breadth of the land.
There is so much said in these two verses.
First, I want to point out that the Hebrew word that is translated as heifer in this
verse is the exact same Hebrew word that is used to describe the red heifer in
Numbers 19.
Second, the Hebrew word that is translated as backsliding is the word that is
translated stubborn or rebellious or revolting elsewhere.
YEHWEH told the prophet Hosea to use the word heifer here to describe the
stubborn rebellious house of Israel who rejects the knowledge of His true
character and has forgotten His Torah.
He did so for a reason and the reason is so it could be tied in with the red heifer
prophecy when it was time to do so.
You and your ancestors have refused to offer yourselves up in the fire to become
as our Elohiym is, except for the small flock.
But there is also more being said with the reference to Gilgal and Beth-aven in
verse 15 about not trusting and obeying Him and worshipping Him in vain.
He is accrediting these things to part of being a whore to Him.
The reference to not coming to Gilgal is a reference to Israel not trusting Him at
the Jordon when they came there the first time.
Gilgal is where the children of Israel who came out of Egypt’s children camped on
the 10th day of the 1st month when they crossed over the Jordon on dry ground
after their parents died in the wilderness.
They trusted and obeyed and came to Gilgal.
Then they obeyed the YEHWEH’s commandment to be circumcised there.
And they were given the Promised Land.
But their parents did not trust and obey.
They rebelled against the commandment of YEHWEH and they did not trust Him
and obey Him to go up to possess the land.
And even their children rebelled after Joshua died.
Nearly all of you in the scattered nations of Israel today won’t even come out of
Egypt in order to come to the Jordon, less more cross over it.
You won’t trust Him or obey Him for anything and you worship Him in vanity.
Instead you go up to Beth-haven.
The name Beth-aven means house of vanity.
Gilgal is also where Saul did not wait on Samuel and he offered up to YEHWEH
falsely when he feared the Philistines.
This showed that his heart was uncircumcised.
At that time YEHWEH pledged to take the kingdom from him and give it to a man
who was after His heart.
There is so much symbolism in all of this that applies to the here and the now.
What are you going to do when YEHWEH sends a sword after you in the coming
days?
Will you turn to having a circumcised heart like David’s heart and be delivered?
Or will you continue in your rebellion and die in it?
I want to add something here to what our Elohiym has revealed about the
symbolism of the uncleanness of a woman when her blood carries her dead seed
away.
Israel is YEHWEH’s seed that He purposed to build the first fruits of His family
through.
He has shown that if Yehshua’s blood is not being given to us, then we are dead
before His face and dying we will die.
But there is also a representation of this seed concerning the man’s seed
departing from him that adds understanding to this.
Lev 15:16-18
16 And if any man's seed of copulation goes out from him, then he shall wash all
of his flesh in water and be unclean until the even.
17 And every garment and every skin whereon is the seed of copulation shall be
washed with water and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman with whom man lies with seed of copulation shall bathe in water
and be unclean until the even.
He is saying that the seed that departs from us is unclean.
The same is true with His children because His children are His seed.
You see, His torah teaches us understanding.
And those without understanding will fall.
It is awesome that even the older people in Israel are called the children of Israel.
Israel means Elohiym rules over.
When we go out from Him, we are unclean to Him and He shuts us off from Him.
He commands us to cleave unto Him.
He commands us to guard or to hedge about His commandments, statutes,
precepts, ordinances and judgments that are found in His Torah.
If we do not, we depart from Him and we are unclean before His face.
A couple of people have asked me how we are to perform the statutes associated
with the water of separation that we are to sprinkle with when we touch the
dead.
The first step is to make sure that we are indeed offering ourselves to Him to
become His family so that we are the red heifer and not a stubborn rebellious
heifer.
And this must be done on His terms.
At this time, it is not a matter of having an actual red heifer but a matter of us
being the red heifer.
In order to be this heifer, we have to be obeying His statutes like this one because
obeying Him is part of offering ourselves up to Him to be tried in the fire.
From there we simply follow His instructions lined out in Numbers chapter 19.
The problem for now is; where would you find a clean person to sprinkle you in
this unclean world.
The answer is, for another 60 days, you probably do not have this option available
to you in this unclean world so you will have to take water and sprinkle yourselves
in His presence.
The same is true with being baptized and even washing for any uncleanness or
even washing our feet from walking in this unclean world when we go out in it.
What is being magnified at this time is that we are indeed to separate ourselves
from all that is not cleaving to Him.
This has always been the command but now it is definitely being magnified with
Him showing that all who do not have His Son’s blood are like dead bodies.
He is showing that we must be completely separated to Him and to becoming His
righteousness.
And this is wonderful if those in our families are choosing to return to Him to
become His children together with us, but the reality is, often this is not going to
be the case.
This is why Yehshua said;
Matt 10:34-37
34 Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth: I did not come to send
peace, BUT A SWORD.
35 Because I have come TO DIVIDE a man against his father and a daughter
against her mother and a daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's own household (family) will be His enemy.
37 He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me and he that
loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
The sword that divides is His Father’s word.
This is a reality because most have not wanted His word and most are going to
continue to not want it in the coming time of affliction.
But it is also His Father’s word that binds us together with those who will be in His
family forever.
It is a matter of trading this life in the flesh in for that which will be forever.
That which is against His word will be burnt up like chaff.
His word testifies to His righteousness.
That which opposes His righteousness will be purged out.
He commanded us to do this but it has not happened except for by a few.
And that which opposes Him has flourished under satan’s helm.
His word separates or divides us from that which is not of His word when we
hearken to it.
Is this the Messiah that you are following?
If not, you are following a make believe messiah.
Yehshua goes on;
Matt 10:38-39
38 And he that does not take up his stake AND FOLLOW AFTER ME is not worthy
of me. (and He is His Father’s word)
39 He that finds his life WILL LOSE IT: and HE THAT LOSES HIS LIFE FOR MY SAKE
WILL FIND IT.
Folks, this is just a reality that most of you have rejected.
We were created to be set apart to our Elohiym to become His by becoming as He
is.
There is no other way to be found in His favor.
The favor for favor is when we live to be found in His favor.
When we do, He pours the favor of the sacrifice of His Son out upon us and
forgives us and cleanses us.
We have to call upon His name and His name is His righteous image that His name
represents.
Yehshua said;
Matt 19:29
29 And every one that has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands, ON ACCOUNT OF MY NAME will receive a
hundredfold AND THEY WILL INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE.
This is who will inherit eternal life.
What name do you think He is talking about?
We are told what His name is.
Rev 19:13
13 And He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood: and His name is called THE
WORD OF ELOHIYM.
What word was He talking about?
Do you think that just maybe it might be the same word that testifies to Him
being the Messiah in the first place?
Is it possible that it could be the same word that testifies that His Father would
send me to tell you to return to the Torah with the statutes and judgments or
dying you will die?
Is it possible that it is the same word that explains why He is sending His wrath to
the inhabitants of the world and sending a double portion of it upon the scattered
nations of Israel?
And the same word that explains the reasons for it being sent; forsaking His Torah
and profaning His Sabbaths and putting no difference between the clean and the
unclean?
I can guarantee you that it is this same word and His wrath is at the door because
you have profaned His set apart name.
You are a stubborn, rebellious heifer indeed.
Thus saith YEHWEH Elohiym.
