The Month of Elul pt. 2

Yesterday we began talking about the significance of the sixth month of Elul. Tonight, we will continue looking into some of these same shadow pictures that Yahweh has wrapped into His calendar, especially concerning the month we have now entered into and the role it plays in teaching us about the purging of the Bride, specifically the purging of the last days! Month: Strongs #2320 chodesh the new moon, month, monthly; from #2318 chadash to be new, renew, repair; can also mean to polish a sword. Breaking apart this word one, root of echad & = fire *Gematria = 312, same as my return As we continue to break this down, we find that this month/chodesh teaches us to return and be made one with the purging fire of Yahweh in order to be renewed and repaired! Its by doing so that we polish our sword! In other words, its by understanding and keeping the calendar of Yahweh that we become one whom can wage effective warfare against His enemies and build the kingdom! And to specifically connect this with the month of Elul remember Nehemiah 6:15 So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days. In order for this wall to be finished, Nehemiah 4:17 They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other [hand] held a weapon. As we continue to connect these dots together, our view is enhanced of this coming purging of fire that will take place in these last days. Yet before the judgment of Yom Kippur comes, during the month of Elul, were urged to be made one with this fire! How do we do this? 6 = the connector, nail, peg, hook; every column of text in a Torah scroll begins with this letter thus connecting/hooking the words of Yahweh to the parchment! It first occurs as the 22nd letter of the Torah 22 letters of the Hebrew Alephbet. 22 = gematria of yachad to join, be united, to join together The connects the words to the parchment referred to as yeriah curtain, drape; from yara to tremble, quiver this is exactly what your vocal chords must do in order to speak, they vibrate/tremble quiver! *Cognate of yarah to throw, shoot, cast, pour, root of the word Torah! We become joined with/one with the fire that purges us when we allow the Word/Torah of Yahweh to be hooked/written upon our hearts. And as His fire purges us, we then become one whose sword is polished, as we are able to speak and shoot forth the Torah from our mouths!

Six: Strongs #8337 shesh six; close cognate of #8336 shesh something bleached white, fine linen (*the garments of the Bride!) Its only by going through the month of Elul, the month of purging, and choosing to be made one with the fire of His Word that we become one adorned in our bridal garments! Gematria = 600, same value as the Mem sofit a picture of the womb, but specifically a virtuous womb, a virgin In other words, the month of Elul is the time frame during which the one who has strayed and played the harlot is able to come back and be made new, virtuous again! Its no coincidence that the constellational sign connected with this month is the sign of Bethulah (Virgo) the virgin! *The first reference of this term in the Torah is in connection with Rebekah in Genesis 24:16 And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up. Rebekah: Strongs #7259 Ribqah ensnarer; the roots of this name denote a tying up of cattle, both for their own protection, the establishment of their home, and to keep them from wandering off *Notice the connection to cattle/par which is also connected to our mouth/language/words! Hosea 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to Yahweh: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips. The virtuous bride/bethulah is one who has maintained control of her tongue for her own protection, for the establishment of her home, and it keeps her from being found niddah/wandering aimlessly! She has been renewed and her vocal chords vibrate as she proclaims the Torah! Notice that in connection with her being described as a bethulah, that she is filling her pitcher with water! Once again connecting us right back to the theme of this conference, Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Pitcher: Strongs #3537 kad jar, large jar; Hebrew word play with chad one, unity *She is one who is able to be made one with her groom, a picture of the Messiah, because she was obedient to apply the cleansing waters. She filled her pitcher! The coming days will present the same opportunity for each of us as well. We as well can choose to draw from the waters in order to become the bethulah!
