I AM
Close up view "I AM" Deuteronomy 6:4, "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One!" This picture titled "I AM" represents the knowledge of God as One. He is the Beginning and the End. Moses' teaching are crucial for preparing us to meet our God face to face as he did. For lack of knowledge, we will perish. (Hosea 4:6) Jesus stated in John 5:45-47, if we don't listen to Moses, then how are we going to believe what Jesus says, for even Moses wrote about Him. Moses clearly addresses us today in Deuteronomy 29:13-14 of God's covenant and instruction. God is timeless and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) Symbolism: The Tree of Life represents God's way according to Genesis 2:9, Psalm 1:2-3, Proverbs 3:13-18, Jeremiah 17:7-8, and Revelation 2:7, 22:14-15. The women on the lampstand are the seven congregations. Their dresses resemble almond blossoms described in Exodus 25:3-34. The seven stars are the angels of the seven congregations as He proclaims, "I am the First and the Last, the Living One." (Revelation 1:17-20) The women have their oil for the bridegroom, for they have kept the oil lit for the lampstand. (Matthew 25:1-13) the wheat on the lampstand speaks of the harvest as He has gathered His wheat into the barn. (Matthew 3:12, 13:24-30, and Luke 3:17) The Key of David in Revelation 3:7 and Isaiah 27:22 centered on the tree has the Hebrew for life on one end and the other end has the Star of David with the cross representing oneness with Adonai through the sacrifice of Yeshua. The roots of the tree represent the roots of our faith based on the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as He announced Himself to Moses. The base of the tree shows the hem of the garment of the Levite priest described in Exodus 28:33-34 and 39:24-26 to enter into the Holy of Holies. The budded rod of Aaron leans on one side of the tree with its meaning of correction and judgement coming to blossom in Numbers 17 and Ezekiel 7:10. On the other side the lamb rests on green pasture by quiet waters, fearing no evil (Psalm 23), as his eyes are fixed upon his Lord. (Psalm 25:15 and Hebrews 12:2) The grapes of God's wrath referred to in Revelation 14:17-20, are on the outskirts guarded by angels as they separate the wheat and chaff. (Matthew 13:39-42) Seven Shofars rest along the river releasing God's judgement. (Revelation 8) The four horses are assembled to be ridden. (Revelation 6) When the moon turns to the color of blood, then you will see the coming of the Great and Terrible day of Adonai. (Isaiah 13:6-10, Joel 2:30-32, and Mark 13:24-27) The curtain is shown torn through Yeshua's sacrifice making a way for us to enter into a relationship with Him forever and to escape the coming judgment. (Matthew 27:51-53 and Mark 15:38) The rainbow appears over His people with Yeshua in His return on a rainy day (Ezekial 1:26-28). The rainbow was first shown after the flood in the days of Noah as a sign of His covenant to us that remains forever. The dove represents His Spirit being outpoured upon His people in the last days with His bride showered with peace in the storm. As the fishermen bring their catch to shore to be separated in Matthew 13:47-50, the angels will do likewise with the souls of men. The river of life flows to the Tree of Life starting from the days of Noah in Genesis throughout today. The roots are planted by the water even in drought washing us with its living water. (Jeremiah 17:7-8) Moses' mother released the deliverer to God's people. Then Moses is shown turning the water into blood to begin the process for our release from bondage. (Exodus 2:1-4 and Exodus 7:20) The sea parts releasing God's people through baptism. The parts releasing God's people through babptism, 1 Corinthinans 10:2 & Exodus 14:21-22. The sky recedes like a scroll as in Revelation 6:14-17. Yeshua the Messiah is being unveiled for us to see HIm as He truly is, face to face. The scrolls bear the Hebrew letters Beginning and End. Many will hide their face from Him, for surely they will die. (Exodus 20:19 and Revelation 6:16) But those who are prepared and heed His instructions and commandments will rejoice. (Psalm 119, Eccelesiastes 12:13, and Revelation 14:12) They will have the right to the Tree of LIfe. (Revelation 22) Truly they will be one with the One they love with all their heart, mind, and soul; His prepared Bride. To love God is to obey and know Him. (Deuteronomy 5:10 and John 14: 15-24) Jesus states, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets, I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." (Matthew 5:17-19) I pray this picture inspires you to seek HIs knowledge and let Moses' words from Adonai bless you with His instructions and teachings for your life. May you be blessed with ears to hear and a loving heart to obey for the days ahead as we move towards "The Day of the Lord."
