Two Basic Discoveries
1. The Bible consists of
– 66 separate books
– Penned by over 40 authors
– Over a period of several thousand yearsthat are an integrated message system;
2. It can be demonstrated that the origin of this message is from outside of our dimensions of space and time.
Kingdom of God Revolution and our
The Central Theme• The OT is an account of a Nation.
• The NT is the account of a Man.
• The Creator became a Man. His appearance is the Central Event of all history.
• He died to purchase us and is alive now.
• The most exalted privilege is to know Him. That’s what the Bible is all about.
Brief seemingly Politically Incorrect Pause…
• What was the number 1 attack vector of Satan on God’s plan of salvation?
• What does he teach us about himself through the family?....
• Through Marriage of one man and one woman?
• At its root, what is the Great Deception focused on destroying today?
• Alistair Begg in ‘Praying Big’ – “The family is the foundation of government and liberty.”
Keep this in mind… Tamarisk Tree
• Gen 21:33 Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree
in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the
LORD, the Everlasting God.
– Provides shade in the desert
– Grows so slowly that future generations will have its
shade but not the generation that plants it
– Abraham planted that tree for Isaac…

Rabbinical Precision
• The Camp of Judah: East of Levites
• The Camp of Reuben: South of Levites
• Strict obedience denies area Southeast
• Thus, only cardinal directions ordained
• Only width of Levite’s camp allowed
• Length proportional to population

Israel Jesus
Tribes of Israel• Prior to the Egyptian captivity, the twelve tribes were simply the “sons of Israel” (genealogies
reckoned in 1 Chronicles 2):
• Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Gad, Joseph, Benjamin.
• Before Israel (the man) dies, he blesses Ephraim and Manasseh (the two sons of Joseph) and
declares them to be considered fully sons of Israel for all purposes, including individual inheritance
of land (Gen 48:5-6). So at the time of the Exodus, there were 13 tribes:
• Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Gad, Benjamin, Manasseh,
Ephraim.
• After the Exodus, Levi is set aside as the tribe devoted to God for the purposes of the functions of
priesthood and Moses is told not to list them nor count them among Israel (Numbers 1:49). The
tribes are now twelve again:
• Reuben, Simeon, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Naphtali, Asher, Gad, Benjamin, Manasseh,
Ephraim.
This composition is how the twelve tribes were counted for the rest of Israel’s history
through the diaspora for the most part.
Tribes and Apostles in Prophecy
• Ezekiel’s vision of a future temple (Ezekiel 47 and on) includes land grant
designations by tribe which follows the same tribe composition as above. – However, the same vision includes twelve gates (three on each side) that follows the “sons of Israel”
designation where Levi is included as a tribe and Manasseh and Ephraim are subsumed into Joseph.
• The Book of Revelation adds to the mystery by having an entirely different
composition when it refers to 12,000 from each of these tribes:– Judah, Reuben, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Manasseh, Simeon, Levi, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.
– This accounting includes Levi and gives Manasseh (but not Ephraim) individual designation separate from
Joseph.
– Most importantly, Dan is completely missing.
– At the time of Solomon, Dan is one of two places where Jeroboam put the idols he used to prevent the
people of his ten tribes from going to Jerusalem for required yearly duties before the temple and priests.
12…• Significant parallels between the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles of
the Lamb. – Initially, twelve apostles are chosen, and Judas Iscariot is among them.
– Judas betrays Jesus and hangs himself in the Potter’s field (remember Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Zechariah’s
prophecies about the clay being marred in the Potter’s hands).
– Recall Dan and Idolatry being left out
– That leaves eleven.
– A twelfth is chosen by lot (Matthias) and Acts 1:26 records him as being “numbered with the eleven
apostles.”
– The verse says he was numbered with them – it’s perhaps another question whether Matthias was
genuinely an apostle.
– Saul of Tarsus becomes an apostle (he is never explicitly called an apostle except in his own letters).
– That’s thirteen, But like the OT and 12 tribes Revelation only recognizes twelve “Apostles of the Lamb”:
• Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the
twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Does the Jewish ‘Clock’ of Daniel’s 70 weeks of years stop at Pentecost?
▪
▪ With a 40-day period called, in Hebrew, Teshuvah , which means "to repent or return."
▪ This 40-day period begins in the sixth month of the religious calendar, the month of Elul, and concludes on the tenth day of the seventh month
▪ Feast of Trumpets ( Rosh Hashanah ) ▪ Tishrei 1 and 2; a single day
▪ Tishrei 3 through Tishrei 9 – days of silence… No Trumpet blasts – are called the Days of Awe or the Awesome Days – Seven Days… Week of years in Tribulation?
▪ Yom Kippur - The day of Atonement
▪ Sukkot - The Feast of Tabernacles After this Cycle… Simchat Torah - Rejoicing in the Torah
Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah)▪ Coincident with the civil New Year: Rosh HaShanah; Lev 23:23-25.
(Torah = 1 day; 2nd day added ~500 b.c.)
▪ Teki’ah Gedolah, “the great blowing”: 3 series of 10 blasts each; final blowing of 10 blasts: Not short blasts (= “alarm”), but long blasts = victory! • “Last Trump?” vs. “7th Trumpet Judgment?”
▪ “Trumpet of God” (only 2X in Bible): Giving of the Torah at Sinai (Ex 19:13, 16); the Rapture (1 Thess 4:16).
▪ Followed by (10) “Days of Affliction” Yomim Noraim. • Teki’at Shofar: ram’s horn (not the silver Temple trumpets) Shofar (Isa 58:1; 27:13); Akedah: substitutionary ram (Gen 22). Left horn = “first trump”; right horn = “last trump.”

Things to Come• Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated
at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. Heb 8: 1-2
• For a tabernacle was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, the table, and the showbread, which is called the sanctuary; and behind the second veil, the part of the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of All,which had the golden censer and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant; Heb 9: 2-5
• But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance; the Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet made manifest while the first tabernacle was still standing.It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience—concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. Heb 9: 7 – 11
• And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1: 14

Gen 21: 33Then Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the
LORD, the Everlasting God.
Lets Discover a little Hebrew
• Beloved: (English sound: “dode”)
• Father: (English sound: “aba”)
The Bride
• Bride: kallah, kal-law' - a bride (as if perfect); hence, a son's wife:--bride, daughter-in-law, spouse.
• HIM – The strong right arm holding a stout weapon to protect and defend his bride
• HER – She is the window into her husband’s heart
• The CHURCH – As the bride of Christ, we are the window into the heart of Jesus
Adam
Name of First Man also the Gender designation – Adam
Symbol: Overpowering ruler of the way (Not the man but the
one who created him
The Ground… Called Adamah
Symbol: (in combination with above): The ground reveals
the heart of the path
When the spirit of God filled the ground, Man was created
Eve
Woman - English sound: ish-shaw
Symbol: Revealer of destruction – not the source but the one
who warnsAdam – Pierced in his side and blood shed for his Bride before
she was his wife…
Jesus on the Cross – Pierced in his side and blood shed for his
bride before she becomes his wife… WHY???
1Co 15:45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam,
BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving
spirit.
