Yah be with you.

I post this every year or so… for new people. I found it quite amazing. I think you will too.

The tabernacle made in the wilderness...
Yahweh is extremely "detailed" on its making.
From Exodus 25th. Chapt. to the 40th. Chapter. With a couple of chapters that take a break, but in all, about 12 chapters He uses to go over the structure and the functions of the Tabernacle in great detail. I would like to try to show to you, what has been shown to me. It was a real blessing to me. I hope it is for someone else.

The Tabernacle was made up of 3 parts,

The Most Holy place
The Holy Place
The Court Round About.

These correspond amazingly to the "cavities" of mankind.

The Head cavity.
The chest cavity.
The abdominal cavity.

The Court Round about; compared to abdominal cavity of man.

In the "court round about", is where you had the >
Alter of sin sacrifice.
The brazen laver.
And the holy anointing oil.

The Priest would,
"Kill the sacrifice", take the blood and put it on the 4 horns, which were at the Four Corners
of the Alter of the sin sacrifice.
They would immerse the animal in the brazen laver & wash the "blood" off.
And anoint it with holy anointing oil.
They would burn the sacrifice on the Alter, on a "continuous" fire. It burned day and night.

This function lines up with our "abdominal" cavity.
The four points of blood are the four arteries, surrounding our digestive track.
Then our "Kidneys" sit above that, which "clean our blood",
The brazen laver, had a spicket, to empty it... Like "we have a spicket", Sometimes, the brazen laver would get "stones" caught in it from the animals, like we get kidney "stones" which are from "animal deposits".
Right above our Kidneys we have an "adrenal gland". This acts as a "quickening", gives us great strength, in time of need... like lifting a car off of your child. Etc. (Like the quickening of Yahshua, gives us strength in time of need)
This lines up with the "anointing" oil, that the Priest would sprinkle on the sacrifice, for a "quickening". For a purification.
In our abdominal cavity, we have a continuous "oxidation", which is liken unto the "fire" that was to be continuous. This is why we feel a "burning" when we are hungry.

HOLY PLACE: compared to "chest cavity" of man.

Table of shew bread.
7 Branch Candelabra.
Altar of incense.

In the "Holy Place" we have a "Table of Shew bread". On it, was "12 loaves of bread".
Around the table was a "crown".
Then we have the candelabra, which had 7 candlesticks. They would pour the 'oil' into the "middle", branch of the candelabra, which would allow for the oil to go to all of the branches keeping the flame alive.
Then they had the altar of incense that would cover up the "stench" of the burning sacrifice. The incense had 3 ingredients, and they had to be measured exactly, if anything was wrong with the ingredients, or the measure of them, the priest burning them would "die".

In our Chest Cavity,
We have our lungs, and our heart, and the branches to the heart allowing the blood in to be pumped through the heart, then goes back out other branches, after it's been "recycled".
Our heart, (Coronary) comes from the root word Corona, meaning, "crown."
The average person contains approx. 12 pints (or 5.5 liters) of blood. (12 loaves)
Scripture says that there is "life in the blood". And The Word of Yah is our life/bread as well.
The heart has more than 7 "branches" off of it, but only 7 of them carry, "oxidized" blood to the body. I think of how the flame at the end of each branch of the candelabra, had to have "oxygen".
Our lungs, act like the alter of incense in the respect that through them, the body receives 'oxygen' which is made up of "3 ingredients", and if any of the ingredients or measures of it is wrong, we die.

The Most Holy Place;
The most Holy place consisted of:

The Mercy Seat (Where a "cloud" would sit, representing Yah)
Two arc angels (on either side of the mercy seat)
Arc of the covenant (where the Ten Commandments were)

Our head cavity:
Our "brain" is quite often described as a Grey "cloud", due to the fact that it has no particular shape or form, but takes on the shape of whatever container is holding it. Our brain has two main functions, called sensory functions, where as one function "sends the 'message" that it is hot, for example, and the other is the "action" which causes the body to "act" upon the message received. Much like the functions of the arc angels. (messenger, and warrior, / "action")
At the base of our head cavity, we have what we call a Pituitary Gland.
This gland gives off "10" chemicals, which determine the body's outcome such as, how tall, color of hair, etc. It also causes other organs throughout the body to produce it's own hormones.
(Which picks up the rest of the law put in the "side" of the arc.)
This pituitary gland "governs" the body, like the 10 commandments "govern" the body of Israel... The bible doesn't state how the 10 commandments "appear" on the tablets of stone, but on one side of the pituitary gland, it secretes 7 chemicals, and the other side secretes 3. So it would not surprise me if the commandments were listed 3 on one side, and 7 on the other. But no one really knows. As far as I know.

The Structure:
The Pillars, bases, boards and bars, equal to 207. That holds the tabernacle together. Our bodies have 206 bones. However there is a bone in our spine that is the result of "two" fusing together. Thus, when we are born, there are 207 bones holding our tabernacle together.
("Lest ye become like little children…") smile.

The Tabernacle have blue, purple and scarlet (red) veils that separated each "section" of the Tabernacle.

Our capillaries, exchange the gasses or oxygen, the red blood cells are oxidized, the blue ones are not, and when the 'exchange' takes place, there is a purplish color. For red and blue, make purple. Also if you "view" a body and all the "veins", you will see the "blue and red" veins most tightly intertwined in the neck, and around the liver area, which divide the cavities.... Which is where the "bulk" of the veils are, but notice the veils "trail", all through the tabernacle. But the places they are "intertwined", are where The Most Holy place is divided from The holy place. (neck), and from The holy place to the court round about (liver area.).

The tabernacle itself took nine months, from the time of "conception" where Moses saw the vision in the mount. Which was in the "3rd month". (Exodus 19:1)
To the "erecting" of the tabernacle. Which was the 1st. day of the 1st. month, in the 2nd. year. (Exodus 40:17). As our bodies take nine months from time of conception.
There are all kinds of things in our "bodies" that confirm the functions of the tabernacle. For example, when looking at the heart and the "7" branches that carry oxidized blood, the "middle" one is called the "common carotid artery" it is through this "branch" that the other branches receive the "blood" that is oxidized. Like the "middle" branch of the candelabra, is where the oil was poured in which then went to the other branches.

There are structures in our body that are quite detailed and line up beautifully, such as the Sphenoid bone, (which means wedge or "winged" shaped) which is located at the base of the "brain"... and these "wings" come up surrounding both sides of the brain, it really is like looking at the side view of the arc angels with their wings over the mercy seat, where the "cloud" would be.
There are many little things, such as our spine has 33 vertebrae's and without them we could not walk upright.
Yahshua lived 33 yrs. And without him we cannot "walk upright".
3 tribes were "assigned" to each side of the tabernacle. When the cloud moved, each 3 tribes on each side were to do their part in the "transportation" of the tabernacle. Which is not unlike our arms and legs that have 3 main bones in each. And are responsible for the "transportation" of our tabernacle.

(Now… I just had a thought and I'm just thinking out loud… but if I'm not mistaken, the "north" side of the tabernacle always had somewhat of a "mystery" to it. & there is no entrance to the north side… I don't "think". I will try to look this up. Does anyone know "off hand"? If this is correct, that would make sense because our "north" is our "head". Duh… Okay… enough of my wondering…)

The tabernacle had nine vessels that made up the functions of it.
3 in each compartment as listed at the beginning of each...
Example
In the "court round about",
1. Alter of sin sacrifice...
2. The brazen laver,
3. And the holy anointing oil.

Our bodies have "nine systems", for the 'function' of our tabernacle.
I.e.; Circulatory system, reproductive system, digestive system, nervous system etc.

I am still learning about the "Tabernacle" and the "Pattern" thereof. I have also been shown how the 12 months surrounding the tabernacle,
The months that are around the "alter of sin sacrifice" for example, are the months that we have the most " fires" around the world. The months at the brazen laver, we have the most "floods"... and the likewise with the months at the "Alter of incense" where our lungs are, we have "Hurricane and tornado "seasons". Etc. And to think everyone is looking to the stars.
Instead of the "tabernacle". Smile. Maybe that is symbolic of us looking for truth "without" instead of "within". (Our tabernacle)

There is so much more to the Tabernacle that Yahweh took 12 chapters to portray. It truly is the pattern of the universe and everything in it. Or so far, all I have learned indicates that this is a true statement.

It is TRUE that our bodies are indeed the "tabernacle". We are the temples. And it is IN US That Yah does come and dwell. In the "Most Holy Place"… which is our Mind.
If one truly wants to find Yah, they only need to go to the "Mercy Seat" in their mind. And there He shall be!
And through Yahs salvation… His "word",
Is put in our "heart" (holy place) and the veil between the two is torn, Making the "holy place" (heart) and the Most Holy Place (mind) One.

This "veil" that is "torn in twain" is our "neck".
Which denotes "will".
For his people, are a "stiffed neck people" And aren't we though?

The "feast of Tabernacles" That the WHOLE EARTH Must "keep".
Is "feasting" on the knowledge that YAH is > IN < us.
For those that do not come to Yerushalom
(teaching of Peace/COMPLETE WELLNESS),
and "celebrate" the "Feast of tabernacles" (Yah in us.)
will be given no rain. (Or knowledge / understanding).

May Yah truly bless us and turn our hearts completely toward Him.
May every knee bow, and every tongue confess...
That Yah does reign.
All glory to thee, O' Yah. All Glory to Thee.

Love,
'd

Yah be with you.

So sorry to hear of your illness.
We have had a really strange "Sinus" thing going on around here in Marion. It even affects the throat and glands, and makes your whole body (especially neck) ache.

I was down for about three days over it. I was so miserable.
Boy did I pray. (smile)

I took everything to no avail. Then my mom got me some
"Benadryl allergy", I tell you this because she said it was great for the flu as well. But it will knock you out, so take it at night. But it sure did the trick.

I will pray for your quick recovery, we miss you here.

I have enjoyed reading this topic about the Tabernacle. I have never heard anyone make these kinds of comparisons before to the body, but it does seem to make sense especially when one considers that the Tabernacle represents Yah dwelling with HIS people and the New Testament scriptures particularly make the comparison of our body being the temple.

Thank you for sharing these insights and giving me good food for thought and digestion. ;-)
