We’ve been looking at the significance of the feasts relative to the return of Yeshua and the gathering of the righteous. The following contexts help us to understand the role of the wilderness in Israel's gathering and return. Once the pieces are put together, it looks as though the final wilderness journey will begin in the nations of Israel's exile, not the geographic wilderness of the exodus from Egypt.
This banquet, which Yeshua alludes to in his teachings, is one in which the children of Abraham, or the righteous, sit down at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Garden of Eden upon entry for a banquet. The elders have a glimpse of this celestial meal when they go up.
Israel Ascends to Greatness from the Wilderness
Israel’s “Removal” is from the Wilderness
- The Torah is from the Wilderness
- The Mishkan (Tabernacle) is from the Wilderness
- The Sanhedrin (Court) is from the Wilderness
- The Priesthood is from the Wilderness
- The Levitical divisions are from the Wilderness
- The Monarchy is from the Wilderness: “a kingdom of priests” and Mercy Seat
- The Goodly Gifts are from the Wilderness
The Well
The Manna
The Clouds of Glory
- *Two crowns were bestowed to each individual Israelite by sixty myriads of ministering angels when Israel said, “We will do and we will hear,” and crowns were taken away upon the sin of the Golden Calf. Although this is tradition, not Torah, the writer of the letter to the Hebrews also alludes to it.
- Prophecy is from the Wilderness (including burning bush).
Alah, or going up, can mean both ascent and removal from. When ultimately Israel makes aliyah, she goes up spiritually to touch and inhabit the Garden and Jerusalem, removed from the death of the natural world. She can go up and in the cloud, the power of entropy suspended. When Israel is “removed from”, she dies in the wilderness because of unbelief, removed from the columns of smoke and cloud.
