And he made a mercy seat of pure gold. Two cubits and a half was its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
#exodus 37:6 #vayakhel
"Mercy seat" is a terrible translation of kaporet. It's the lid for the Ark of the Covenant and the word literally means covering or lid, so why not just translate that way?
Rhy Bezuidenhout your idea of rewarding servants of Yah might be a good alternative economy, a hedge against the global economies failing. In the US, you cant mint your own money, but you can write scipts/credits for use in private transactions. Maybe something like that electronically (kinda like nft's) would make the idea feasable?
Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Two cubits and a half was its length, a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height.
Exodus 37:1
Only Moses saw the divine plans for the Ark of the Covenant, but God imbued Bezalel with a prophetically artistic spirit to fashion it and the other sacred furnishings according to the plan shown to Moses. Prophecy isn't limited to the spoken or written word. Sculpture, painting, music, and even architecture can be prophetic.
Women’s Portion for Today: Thursday March 07
Grace is YHVH Himself; His loving energy at work in families and in the hearts of believers. (Prayer: Yeshua, Your glowing Light allows us to find our Holy Father again. Let our praises resound around the earth in all languages: Hallelujah, praise the King of kings and Lord of lords, amein)

Are all the dead risen to everlasting life?
The Roman Catholic picture of hell is most likely burnt into all of our minds. One of eternal fire and torture of the lost souls.
Is this belief maybe based on scriptures like 1 Cor 15:52 which says: "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed."
In the Amplified version there are notes about only the saved receiving imprishable bodies, but I don't see that in other translations.
What then happens at the second death, or isn't it "death" but rather eternal torture and John's vision was written down incorrectly?
Rev 20:14-15 (ESV): "Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Rev 21:8 (ESV): "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."
So, actually everyone receives eternal life, but our judgements determine where we spend eternity.
This then means that Father can't destroy our souls, but only our bodies so Matthew 10:28 is false: "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
What are your thoughts on this?
