In Numbers 11:12 we find
and amazing scripture
that reveals the nature
and essence of faith,
and its connection to
the anointing.
And Moses said to HASHEM,
Why have you afflicted your servant?
and why have I not found
favor in your sight,
that you lay the burden
of all this people upon me?
Have I conceived all this people?
Have I begotten them?
that you should say to me,
Carry them in your bosom,
as a nursing father
bears the sucking child,
to the land which
you swore to their fathers?
ויאמר משה אל יהוה
למה הרעת לעבדך
ולמה לא מצתי
חן בעיניך
לשום את משא
כל העם הזה עלי:
האנכי הריתי את כל העם הזה
אם אנכי ילדתיהו
כי תאמר אלי
שאהו בחיקך
כאשר ישא האמן
את הינק
על האדמה
אשר נשבעת לאבתיו:
Here the Hebrew word
for nursing father
has the root letters
Aleph א, Mem מ, and Nun נ ,
which are the same Hebrew letters
that make up the root for the
Hebrew word for faith
which is Emunah אמונה .
This reveals that HASHEM
continually nourishes us
in his covenant
to bring us into his promise.
This nourishment is
the essence of faith.
This nourishment is provided
to us on a minute by minute
basis by the Holy Spirit רוח הקודש .
In Isaiah 63:14 it is written
As a beast goes down
into the valley,
The Spirit of HASHEM רוח יהוה
caused him to rest:
so you did lead your people,
(by causing them to rest)
to make to yourself
a glorious name.
כבהמה בבקעה תרד
רוח יהוה
תניחנו
כן נחנת עמך
לעשות לך
שם תפארת:
In the covenant of
the Kingdom of David ברית מלכות דוד
it is the Anointing המשח
through the Holy Spirit רוח הקודש
by whom HASHEM
nourishes us continually.
For in the same place it is written,
Isaiah 63:11
Then he remembered
the days of old,
Moses, and his people, saying,
Where is he that brought them
up out of the sea
with the shepherd of his flock?
Where is he who put
his Holy Spirit רוח קדשו
within him?
ויזכור ימי עולם
משה עמו
איה המעלם מים
את רעי צאנו
איה השם
בקרבו
את רוח קדשו:
The Messiah Yeshua המשיח ישוע
when he established
the promised covenant
of the Kingdom of David מלכות דוד ,
promised us that he would
send to us the Holy Spirit רוח הקודש
to fulfill this Scripture.
He told us that when he went away,
in his place
he would send to us
the Holy Spirit רוח הקודש ,
and that the Holy Spirit
will nourish us continually,
and cause us to rest
in the eternal Sabbath
of the Kingdom of HASHEM
מלכות יהוה .
The Holy Spirit רוח הקודש
guides us minute by minute
and causes us to rest
in the eternal Sabbath of
the Messiah המשיח
in the Kingdom of David מּלכות דוד .
This he accomplished when
he sat down on the right hand
of HASHEM
after he rose from the dead
on the third day
as was prophesied
in Psalm 110:1
HASHEM decreed to my Lord,
Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
your footstool.
נאם יהוה
לאדוני
שב לימיני
עד אשית איביך
הדם לרגליך:
The kingdom of David
is firmly established
in the hand
of the Messiah משיח .
And because it is
so firmly established
it is the essence of his faith
MINGLED WITH OUR FAITH.
Faith means to become secure
or to be firmly established.
It means to become so complete
that you enter into a rest
or a Sabbath of confidence
from all fear and anxiety.
This is what our Messiah Yeshua משיח ישוע
has performed for us.
This answers the questions
in Isaiah 62:11
as to who as a shepherd רעה
in the days of old ימי עולם
brought our people עם ישראל
up out of the sea.
He established the
Kingdom of David מלכות דוד
over all Israel and
now he nourishes us
who are now in his faith,
which is the faith of Israel,
and the Kingdom of David
which is the kingdom of G-d.
For it is written in Psalm 45:6-7:
Your Throne, O G-d,
is for ever and ever:
the scepter of your kingdom
is a right scepter.
You love righteousness,
and hate wickedness:
Therefore G-d, your G-d,
has anointed you
with the oil of gladness
above your friends.
כסאך אלהים
עולם ועד
שבט מישר
שבט מלכותך:
אהבת צדק
ותשנא רשע
על כן משחך
אלהים אלהיך
שמן ששון
מחברך:
It is also written that
the kingdom of HASHEM
is righteousness tsdaka צדקה ,
peace shalom שלום , and
joy sasson, and simcha ששון ושמחה
in the Holy Spirit רוח הקודש .
מלכות אלהים
היא צדקה שלום
ששון ושמחה
ברוח הקודש
But concerning the heavens,
it is written in Isaiah 34:4,
And all the host of heaven
shall be dissolved,
and the heavens shall be
rolled together as a scroll:
and all their host shall fall down,
as the leaf falls off
from the vine,
and as a falling fig
from the fig tree.
ונמקו כל צבא השמים
ונגלו כספר
השמים וכל צבאם
יבול כנבל עלה מגפן
וכנבלת מתאנה:
The kingdom of David מלכות דוד
is made sure in the hands
of the Messiah Yeshua משיח ישוע ,
and is more sure than
the heavens themselves.
This surety is the substance
of great faith and of great boldness.
Therefore it is written
Therefore we receiving
a kingdom that cannot be moved,
let us have grace
(the nourishment of
the Holy Spirit רוח הקודש
and of faith אמונה )
whereby we may serve HASHEM
acceptably with reverence
and godly fear.
For the LORD our G-d
is a consuming fire.
לכן שאנחנו מקבלים
מלכות אשר לא תמוט
נהיה נא מכירי טובה
ובהכרה זאת
נעבוד את אלהים כרצונו
בחסידות וביראה:
כי יהוה אלהינו
אש אוכלת הוא:
