PREPARATION FOR PRESERVATION

SALVATION REVEALED IN PICTURES:

Consecration and sanctification are not the same things, according to the consecration and sanctification of Aaron as priest:

 

You (Moses) shall put them (the garments prepared) upon Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office. (Exod 28:41)

 

Moses, as an antitype of Jesus would anoint, consecrate, and sanctify Aaron and his sons. To anoint is to literally rub them, coming from the Hebrew word masah. Masah could be rubbing with oil or about anything, spelled מָשַׁח.

The first letter mem (right to left) is living water in theology; it represents the Spirit of God.

The middle letter, shin, represents a synthesis; what to what? Mem to chet; the latter a covenant with God — a “covenant”. Aaron would have a little of what Moses had obtained from God just by contact wherein the Spirit of God in Moses would be absorbed into Aaron.

What did Moses have that Aaron did not? Nothing yet but the willingness to meet God in person. Later, Moses face shined (Exod 34:29–35. God shined onto him, but Moses climbed the mountain. It seems that anointment was preparation for the journey ahead to find God.

Moses would then consecrate (mala'; מָלָא)Aaron.

The first letter mem is living water and the letter lamed, teaching, a divine programming. About what? Aleph, the Power of God. So, far, Aaron was made ready, and now taught the things of God. Perhaps Moses was the teacher who would program Aaron with the knowledge of God that he had about the fire of God in the burning bush.

Upon encountering the Spirit of God in the burning bush, Moses asked God, “Who am I?” (Exod 3:11). Not “I AM” but “am I” (hinne; Exod 3:4) for God is “I AM” (haya; Exod 3:14); to which God answered, “I will be with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you” (Exod 3:12).

Hence, Moses was not the great I AM Himself but a token (אוֹת). The letter vav represents a connector of some sort. The letter aleph is the Power of God, and the letter chet at the end, Moses in a state like God. Moses was not God but a placeholder for the Power of God, in the manner of Abraham who was a token for Almighty God as well. Moses was a “proxy” for God, a figure for the authority of God… “that I have sent (salah; שָׁלַח) you” (Exod 3:12).

Of course, the lamed means teach. The shin the consuming Presence of God from the burning bush. Lastly the letter chet about the other invisible realm, the covenant, and the states of God.

God had rubbed Moses with fire. That was the anointing of Moses, and Moses would then rub the Presence of God — living water — onto Aaron.

Moses was beheld (hinne; הִנֵּה) but God haya (הָיָה) — the Existence, or literally the breath from which Existence is beheld. God was indicating that Moses was part of the Creation that He had created. Moses had some God likeness in his person, so he was a suitable token for the authority of God.

Just as the Power of God (El) had gone (Elohim) into Adam, the fire of God (El) had gone into Mose (מֹשֶׁה). Recall the rubbing, Masah (מָשַׁח) from earlier?

The literal rule in Hebrew is that common letters between words means that there is an affinity between the two, or that the root of one is the root of the other. The difference between Mose and masah are the ending letters, hey in Mose and chet in masah. Whereas chet means covenant, hey means expansion. Masah was the Mosaic Covenant and Moses the missionary of that covenant. Mose was to spread the living waters from God. He would have been the “fount” of living water as a proxy for Father God (Elohim).

Now back to Aaron, just as Adam shared Elohim of El, Moses would have shared the living waters to Aaron, his brother. Not only would they be biological brothers but Spiritual brothers as well with living water existing in them both. Aaron would be the seed of God as well as a prophet, sharing the living water to all who would come to him. Aaron and Moses would be one covenant in God.

Aaron (‘Aharon; אַהֲרוֹן or אַהֲרֹן) has two spellings. Note the difference between the letter resh (ר) in the spellings. The point over the ר has esoteric meaning. Note that in the first spelling the point is above the letter vav (וֹ). The point about Aaron would have been the man in vav, (וֹֹ) compared to the leadership (רֹ) in the resh. Those points are special markers typically signaling a deeper mystical, exegetical, or scribal meaning, rather than a standard phonetic change.

Mystical characters represent the metaphysical. As such, the man, Aaron, upon consecration would have become metaphysical, beyond physical attributes; once a mere man, Aaron with consecration was beyond just a mere man.

So far, both anointment and consecration have been analyzed for deeper meanings. Not only that, but finally after anointment and consecration, Aaron was sanctified.

Sanctification was thoroughly discussed yesterday, but in summary, sanctified would mean “preserved”. Just as in cold-pack canning, Aaron was cleansed (anointed), dosed with “preservatives” from Moses (consecrated), and then preserved… until when? The opening of the vessel in the Presence of God. Perhaps Aaron was among the saints that was resurrected with Jesus, as it is written:

The graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after His resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. (Mat 27:52-53)

Aaron would have been prepared by Moses as the token of God for the resurrection wherein His flesh was saved in bodily form. Hence the reason for anointment, consecration, and preservation was to witness God in person and Moses as only a temporary proxy. It was Aaron in the state of preservation awaiting the time of salvation. (That should help Jews understand that their own religion points toward the coming of Jesus.)

The concept of a Messiah is important as well — Mashiach (מָשִׁיחַ) in the Hebrew. Recall now the Hebrew rule pertaining to Mose and Masah? Well it is in Mashiach as well the מָשִ — the living water of released from Ya, the sound of the letter yod (י), and just as in Masah, the letter chet means a covenant — all together the dispersion of living water from the belly of Jesus (John 7:38).

Hence, Moses was a proxy for Jesus from whom his belly flowed living waters as a token Messiah only until the real Messiah would come. Not only that but Aaron would have been a proxy for Christians to come from the Mosaic Covenant.

So, just as words mean things in scripture, so do pictures. God seemed to have drawn pictures for Moses to convey esoteric messages so that someday that His Word could be understood regardless of the language barrier. The Word in scripture is merely pictures (pictographs) that anyone might understand.
