The Tabernacle or Temple the place where He dwelled among His people and represents the
Presence of YHVH. Tabernacles followed the path, from the temporary portable Tabernacle in
the Wilderness, to the permanent structure, the Temple in Jerusalem, which is the Promised
Land. Then after the ascension of Y\u2019shua the Temple was destroyed in 70 CE. The Presence
of YHVH moved from the permanent back into portable temporary structures, which are the
bodies of the believers and followers of Y\u2019shua the Messiah. He is currently indwelling His
people through Hs Spirit, which was given on the Feast of Shavuot (Pentecost). There will be
a change and move again where the full presence of YHVH will be among His people in the
form of a Permanent Structure again. This will be in the form of the New Jerusalem that will
come down from heaven after the 1000 year period and the battle of Armageddon and
cleansing of the earth by fire. We see here four types of Tabernacles; the first two are of the
same type, both made by hands, but the last two are of the same type, both made without
human hands through the work of the Messiah.
YHVH chose and anointed one man to be the craftsman who made all the decorative artwork
on the Ark of the Covenant, the Table of Showbread, the Menorah and all the utensils
required for service in the Tabernacle, the dwelling place of YHVH. YHVH chose Y\u2019shua (His
Word) and anointed Him to do the all the decorative art effects in your \u201ctemple\u201d through His
Spirit, inside of you so that His presence can be in you and that you will be equipped to do
service unto Him. If you realise this, you will live a set-apart life unto YHVH for the benefit of
having His presence in your life.
Within the Body of Messiah, His Temple, there are different \u201canointings\u201d that equip certain
people unto service within the Body. These are better known as the gifts of the Spirit. We
need the Gifts of the Spirit to enable us to build up the unified Body that will represent the
fullness of Messiah, as we have already discussed this in the first day\u2019s topic. What is
important to notice, is that the Temple was not taken away, it moved to another form, from a
physical structure, to our bodies so that those who are serious about holiness and following
YHVH with their hearts, can \u201ccarry\u201d His presence in this world. YHVH decided to remove His
presence from the permanent earthy Temple because of the people\u2019s stubbornness and un-
holiness.
Joseph to add people to Him and Joseph\u2019s life was standing out, or standing \u201ctall\u201d as a sign or
a banner to all nations. His life was the sign to Israel, what YHVH will do through His First
Coming and His Second Coming:\ue000
Joseph was the first-born son (Y\u2019shua), of His mother (the beloved), Rachael (the
female prominent to a flock of sheep, mother of all sheep). She was barren and Joseph
was born through YHVH\u2019s supernatural intervention. Y\u2019shua was born through
supernatural conception by the Spirit.
His brothers did not receive his word (dreams) and threw him in a pit and sold him as a slave. Y\u2019shua\u2019s Word was not accepted by the religious authorities and He came as a servant on a donkey to serve us unto death.
Joseph\u2019s name means; the Spirit (Yod) will be upon man (Vav),
and will support and uplift him and lead him into YHVH\u2019s rest. Man
will then proclaim YHVH\u2019s Word and everything He has done for
him and his mouth will be and instrument of praise.
Joseph\u2019s brothers hated him because of the way his father
treated him and because he was the son of His father\u2019s
favourite wife, Rachael. Y\u2019shua was chosen of YHVH and \u201cHis
brothers\u201d did not accept Him as the chosen Lamb of Elohim.
They wanted to kill him and Ruben made the suggestion to
throw him in a pit. They stripped him from his tunic and sold
him as a slave to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.
Y\u2019shua was sold for 30 pieces of silver when He was handed
over to die for us. He ended up as a slave in Egypt. Twenty
means restoration of relationships and this shows that Joseph and his brothers will be reunited in the end. Thirty means covenant and this shows that Y\u2019shua\u2019s death was to establish the covenant with man in His blood.
