The Curtain over the Holy of Holies was supported by FOUR GOLD-plated WOODEN pillars set in SILVER sockets. The nly way to the Ark of the Covenant, where God's presence would descend to commune with Moses, was through this curtain.
4 = Life, Messiah
Silver = Blood, atonement
Wood = Mortal living flesh
Gold = Perfect righteousness
Yeshua, the only purely righteous man, is the only way to the Father.

Okay, it's a new day....
This week’s Torah portion is Terumah.

A RENEWAL OF OUR VISION --- CONTINUE
B – We must realise that we are one part of the whole:
For as we have many members in one body and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are One Body in Moshiach, and every one member’s one of another. -- Romans 12:4-5. Everything does not rise or fall with us or our abilities, it rises or falls depending upon whether we are each doing our part for the greater good. There are literally millions of believers throughout this world and they are from many different nations, they have many different colours of skin, they speak many different languages and belong to many different denominations. YHVH has put together a mosaic of people who, working together, will fulfil the Vision that He has for His Church. Our part in the vision is realizing that we are part of the whole and that our own personal application of YHVH’s vision, combined with that of others in our church and millions of others throughout the world will manifest itself in an unstoppable force called the Church of Yeshua Moshiach. What we must do, is realize what piece of the puzzle YHVH has called us to be and place ourselves in the picture of YHVH’s overall Will for His Church. Paul said: -- We are all One Body in Moshiach, we belong to each other, and each of us needs all the others. [There is no room for an independent or isolationist spirit].
C – We must encourage visions in others:
Our duties that we have is to encourage the development of vision in other people’s lives. And once that vision is embedded in their very bones, we need to spread it to others around us. If we encouraging another believer and that one is encouraging others around them and they are encouraging others, we will find ourselves well on the way to renewal.
3 – With our participation… :
It is one thing to say we believe in YHVH’s Vision, it is quite another to participate in the vision that YHVH is giving us. Those that sit on the side-lines and do not roll up their sleeves and help to fulfil the vision do not have the ability to focus on what YHVH is doing in our midst. The renewal process involves getting off the side-lines and getting into the game. There are no armchair players allowed on YHVH’s play field. And if we do not participate in YHVH’s plan, we cannot expect to hear a Word from YHVH. The coach does not share his plays with those that are not in the game and YHVH does not speak to those that are not willing to help the church fulfil His vision. If you are not feeling renewed in your Spiritual walk, perhaps it is because you have been standing on the side-lines for too long. The problem that we sometimes have is that we end up with a few people doing all the work for the many that do not want to get involved. The challenge for those believers that are not participating in spreading the Gospel is to start doing so; it is not right for anyone to depend on everyone else to always be ministering for them, they need to do their part and YHVH expects us to do it. If every single person in the church or social group would find their area of ministry and do their best at it, we would see renewal take place like we cannot even imagine. With each of us participating, four things will happen.
A – The Church and social groups will grow Spiritually:
Part of the great Commission that Yeshua gave involves continued Spiritual Growth. We are not only called to win people to Moshiach, but to disciple and teach them. When we each are doing our part the result is a group of fully dedicated disciples that are growing in their spiritual walk with Elohim. This stuff becomes contagious when we join together with YHVH’s vision.
B – Our social groups and gatherings will grow numerically:
It is YHVH’s Vision that the believers grows numerically. Over and over again throughout the book of Acts YHVH records for us the numerical growth. It is kind of ironic when believers say they prefer a small church or ministry or just a faith social group, because they cannot find a anything else like that in the Bible! The believers that is in tune with YHVH is growing, in fact if groups, ministries or gatherings are not experiencing numerical growth there has to be something wrong. With every believer participating, this will happen.
C -- Gospel social groups, ministries and even gatherings will grow geographically:
Part of the plan on TTN is to spread the Gospel and Torah throughout the world; we are going to spread out as far and wide as we can as we implement YHVH’s vision. This will happen and we will continually experience the renewal that YHVH has planned for us as long as we abide to His Commandments and encourage each other. It is easy for us to get so wrapped up in plans, finances and programs, that we can lose sight of the vision that started this whole TTN thing. While we are building a tool, it is a tool and it is not the vision itself. It is simply a means to fulfil the vision that YHVH has given to each one of us. Also remember that while we must do all the work that is necessary to get the TTN tool built, we cannot and must not lose sight of the fact that YHVH has called us to something much greater than just build TTN. YHVH has called us, ALL OF US, to fulfil the dream that He has placed in our hearts to win people to Moshiach and to disciple them to maturity. If you do not dream that dream on a regular basis, you are in need of personal renewal and YHVH will give it to you, if you simply follow His guidance.
A RENEWAL OF OUR VISION
Let us review the need to renew our vision for Moshiach and His Church. Most of you will remember when you first became a believer that you were fired up with a vision to reach people for Moshiach and to see His Church grow. You probably spent considerable time in prayer asking YHVH to use you for His Kingdom and to make you a strong witness to others. You saw yourself as a champion for Moshiach, proclaiming victory in His Name and defeating the enemy with the Sword of the Spirit. When you heard sermons or read letters about evangelism and outreach, you got fired up and clearly understood and accepted the fact that YHVH could use you in a mighty way but somehow, over the years or months, since your conversion to Moshiach, somehow that vision has faded and become nothing more than a distant memory. You might still talk about it and you know it is something that should be important to you but if the truth be known, it is the last thing on many your minds these days. Think about this for a minute; in this last week, how much time did you spend pondering the fact that YHVH has a vision for your life and for His church? If you are like most people, you probably gave it little, if any, thought. Remember, you are an integral part of YHVH’s plan for this world and He wants to give you the ability to fulfil that plan in your life and in your church. YHVH wants us to begin thinking on a much grander scale than we have been thinking and bring to us a personal renewal that focuses on a vision for the future.
1 -- YHVH says that… :
A – We are commissioned:
When you changed and became a believer, you were also accepting the challenge of YHVH’s mission for your life. -- And Yeshua came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have Commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. -- Matthew 28:18-20. This Commission from Moshiach to make disciples, baptize them and teach them to obey was given to Yeshua’s disciples and is still given to us today. YHVH is telling us that we are both individually and corporately accountable for fulfilling the mission He has sent us on. This is for men, women, young people, children, elderly, married, single, widowed, divorced, it is given to everyone and no one is excused. The sooner we understand this and take responsibility for it, the sooner we will begin to experience the renewal that YHVH’s wants us to have.
B – We are empowered:
Unlike any government, YHVH does not demand unfunded mandates. Sometimes a government will pass rules, laws or procedures that are passed down to the States, County’s or Provinces, yet there is no funding given. YHVH does not work like that, He never asks us to do anything that He does not also give us the resources necessary to accomplish whatever He asks us to do. -- But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. -- Acts 1:8. The same power given to the early disciples is available to us and that power comes from Ruach HaKodesh who indwells every believer. That power was specifically given to accomplish the vision YHVH gave. We can never excuse ourselves from service by saying that we do not have the resources necessary; YHVH promises us that He will empower us to fulfil the vision.
C – We are entrusted:
There is a story that a young man applied for a job as an usher at a theatre. The manager asked him: [What would you do if a fire breaks out?] The young man answered: [Don't worry about me. I would get out easily.] That is how we respond sometimes. What would you do if Yeshua came back today? And He is very close, on His way already! But you are an usher! It is not enough just to get out ourselves; we are responsible for helping others get out! -- But as we were allowed of YHVH to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but YHVH, which trieth our hearts. -- 1 Thessalonians 2:4. YHVH has entrusted His vision to us as individuals and as a church. There is no other plan in place; YHVH is counting on us to get the job done.
2 – We need to.. :
A – We must see ourselves as YHVH sees us:
One of the biggest contributors to lack of vision is a misunderstanding of just who we are in YHVH’s Eyes. Until we see ourselves as YHVH sees us, we will not be able to comprehend the vision. In other words, we cannot envision our roles in YHVH’s Kingdom until we envision ourselves as a fully equipped, loved and cared for, child of YHVH. YHVH sees us as believers that can accomplish His will for our lives. He does not look at us as failures; He looks at us and sees believers that can reign victorious in this life. YHVH is looking at us and saying: [I know that My children has the ability to accomplish great things for My Kingdom, if they would just apply the promises that I have made, and follow My Torah, there would be no limits.] It is clear from the Great Commission that YHVH believes in us. But for some reason we many times do not believe in ourselves. I am not talking about self-confidence, self-esteem or building up a false sense of bravery, I am talking about recognizing that YHVH has instilled within us the supernatural power to accomplish His vision for the Kingdom. And when we are not seeing ourselves in that light, we are denying the very promises that YHVH has made to us. We all need to take some positive steps to correct this and the first thing that we can do is continually remind ourselves that we can do what YHVH has asked us to do, not because we are so intelligent, so powerful or such wonderful people, but because YHVH is everything that He claims that He is and if He says I can do it, then I can do it!
Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them.
Exodus 26:1
There are ten curtains of the tabernacle in this verse. Perhaps because we are to be clothed in the Ten Commandments? IDK. Unlike our own clothing, the Mishkan's covering was made of interwoven wool and linen. Torah forbids wearing clothes made of a linen/wool mixture.

"As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones."
- Psalm 109

5 = Torah and divine grace
Bronze = repentance and judgment
Torah stands as a witness against our unrighteousness. Without Torah, we would not know of our need for a Savior. Without Grace, Torah's conviction would be pointless.
