CHAPTER
5
THE
7,000-YEAR PLAN OF G-D
(Part
3 of 3)
THE
HIDING OF KING JOASH
King Joash was hidden in the Temple (Beit HaMikdash) for six
years. At the beginning of the seventh year, King Joash was crowned
King over Israel. In II Kings (Melachim) 11:1-4, 21 it is written:
"And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her
son was
dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal. But
Jehosheba,
the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash
the
son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons
which
were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in
the
bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain. And he
was
with her hid in the house of the Lord six years. And
Athaliah
did reign over the land. And the seventh year Jehoiada sent
and
fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the
guard, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord,
and
made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the
house
of the Lord, and showed them the king's son . seven years
old
was Jehoash when he began to reign."
In this story, King Joash is a type of the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus. In traditional Jewish thought (house of
Judah), the Messiah (Mashiach) is one of the seven things created
before the creation of the world and the timing of his coming or the
redemption is also one of the seven things which are hidden from man
(Talmud, Pesachim 54). Therefore, King Joash is a spiritual picture /
blueprint given to us by the G-d of Israel to teach us that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus would be hid from ruling and
reigning on the earth (physically) as King (Zechariah 14:9) for 6,000
years (the end of the Olam Hazeh).
At the end of 6,000 years (Olam Hazeh), the Jewish
Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus will be crowned King on the Feast of Trumpets
(Rosh HaShanah). In traditional Jewish thought (house of Judah), this
is the coronation day of the King. The coronation of the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh
HaShanah) to rule and reign in righteousness as King over all the
earth is revealed to us in Revelation 5. In Revelation 5:1-5 it is written:
"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
throne a
book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven
seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud
voice,
Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals
thereof?
And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth,
was
able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept
much,
because no man was found worthy to open and to read the
book,
neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto
me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root
of
David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
seven
seals thereof."
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus is the King of kings
and the L-rd of lords (Zechariah 14:9, Philippians 2:9-11,
Revelation 19:11-16).
THE
STEPS
TO
KING SOLOMON'S THRONE
King Soloman (Shlomo) had six steps to his throne and the seventh
step was his throne. In II Chronicles 9:18 it is written:
"And there were six steps to the throne, with a
footstool of
gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each
side
of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the
stays."
This is a spiritual picture/blueprint given to us by the G-d of
Israel that mankind is climbing a stairway of six steps (6,000 years
of time known as the Olam Hazeh) until we reach that seventh step
(the Messianic Age/Athid Lavo) when the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will be crowned King of kings and L-rd of lords
(Zechariah 14:9, Revelation 19:11-16).
KING
SOLOMON
IS
A TYPE OF THE MESSIAH
King Solomon is a type of the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus.
1. Solomon (Shlomo) sat upon
the throne of his father David
(I Kings [Melachim] 2:12) and
was given the throne of his
father David (I Kings
[Melachim] 3:6-7).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus sat upon the
throne of His father David
and He was given the throne of
His father David (Luke
1:30-32, Acts 2:29-30).
2. Solomon's (Shlomo) kingdom
was established greatly (I
Kings [Melachim] 2:12) and
the throne of David shall be
established before the L-rd
forever (I Kings [Melachim]
2:45).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus' kingdom shall
have no end (Isaiah
[Yeshayahu] 9:6-7, Luke 1:33).
3. Solomon reigned over all
the kingdoms and they served
Solomon all the days of his
life (I Kings [Melachim] 4:21).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will rule over
all the kingdoms and they
shall serve Him forever (Daniel
2:44, 7:14, 27).
4. Solomon (Shlomo) is the
Strong's word 8010 in the Hebrew
Concordance which means
"Peaceful." Solomon (Shlomo) which
is the Strong's word 8010
comes from the Strong's word 7965
which is the Hebrew word
shalom which means "peace."
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus is called the
"Prince of Peace"
(Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 9:6).
5. Solomon (Shlomo) was king
in the midst of his people (I
Kings [Melachim] 3:7-8).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will be King in
the midst of His people
(Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 12:6 = Psalm
[Tehillim] 89:18, Zechariah
2:10-11).
6. Solomon (Shlomo) was the
wisest of earthly kings (I
Kings [Melachim] 3:5, 9-13,
4:29-31, 10:23, II Chronicles
9:22-23).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus is the wisdom of
the G-d of Israel (I
Corinthians 1:24, Colossians 2:2-3).
7. Solomon (Shlomo) built the
Temple (Beit HaMikdash) and
he had rest on every side (I
Kings [Melachim] 5:2-4, 6:9,
14).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will build the
Temple (Beit HaMikdash) of
the Messianic Age (Athid Lavo)
and will have rest on every
side (Zechariah 6:12-13). The
Branch (Zechariah 6:12) is a
term for the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus
(Isaiah [Yeshayahu] 11:1, 10).
8. Solomon (Shlomo) was given
wisdom and understanding to
righteously judge good and
evil. (I Kings (Melachim)
3:9-13).
The Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus has wisdom and
understanding to righteously
judge good and evil. (Isaiah
[Yeshayahu] 11:1-6).
9. The whole earth sought
Solomon (Shlomo) to hear his
wisdom (I Kings [Melachim]
10:24).
The whole earth will speak of
the wisdom of the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus during the Messianic Age.
(Psalm [Tehillim] 145:1,
11-13).
10. During the reign of
Solomon (Shlomo), every man was
"under his vine and fig
tree" (I Kings [Melachim] 4:25).
"Under his vine and
under his fig tree" is a Jewish "idiom"
for the 1,000-year Messianic
Age (Athid Lavo).
During the reign of the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus during the
Messianic Age (Athid Lavo) every
man will sit "under his
vine and under his fig tree" (Micah
4:3-4, John 1:47-49).
THE
MARRIAGE IN CANA OF GALILEE
The book of John (Yochanan) beginning in John 1:19 through John
2:1 will outline events which will happen over seven days of time.
1. John 1:19 = Day 1
2. John 1:29 = Day 2
3. John 1:35 = Day 3
4. John 1:43 = Day 4
After the fourth day, the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will go forth
into Galilee. Galilee is the
Strong's word 1551 in the
Hebrew dictionary. The word
Galilee in Hebrew means
"a circle." A circle is a synonym
for heaven. These four days
are a spiritual
picture/blueprint given to us
by the G-d of Israel that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus would come to the
earth after being in
heaven/circle (Olam Haba) 4,000 years
from the creation of Adam in
the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden).
5. John 2:1 describes a
marriage in Cana of Galilee on the
third day. This third day
(after the four previous days) is
the seventh day. On this day,
there is a wedding.
This is a spiritual
picture/blueprint given to us by the
G-d of Israel that after
6,000 years of time (the end of
the Olam Hazeh) He will enter
into the fullness of the
marriage with His people when
the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will rule and
reign with His Bride during the
Messianic Age (Athid Lavo).
In traditional Jewish thought
(house of Judah), the Feast
of Trumpets (Rosh HaShanah) is
the day of the fullness of
the wedding of the G-d of Israel
with His people.
JOSHUA
CROSSING THE JORDAN RIVER
The crossing of the Jordan river by the children of Israel is a
spiritual picture/blueprint of the first 6,000 years of time known
as the Olam Hazeh (the present age).
1. Joshua 3:1 = Day 1
2. Joshua 3:2 = After three
days (Day 4), the children of
Israel cross the Jordan
river.
In this Scripture passage,
Joshua (Yehoshua) is a type of
the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus. Joshua is the
Strong's word 3091 in the
Hebrew dictionary. Jesus is the
Strong's word 2424 in the
Greek dictionary of the New
Testament (Brit Hadashah) and
corresponds to the Hebrew
name Joshua (Yehoshua).
Joshua became the leader of
the children of Israel after
the death of Moses (Moshe)
and led G-d's chosen people into
the Promised Land. These four
days are a spiritual
picture/blueprint given to us
by the G-d of Israel of the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus coming to the earth
4,000 years after the
creation of Adam in the Garden of
Eden (Gan Eden) to lead all
those who would put their
faith, trust and confidence
(emunah) in Him into the
Promised Land of the
Messianic Kingdom.
3. Joshua 3:3-4. There is a
space of 2,000 cubits between
the ark of the covenant and
the children of Israel.
These 2,000 cubits are a
spiritual picture/blueprint given
to us by the G-d of Israel
that the Jewish nation (house of
Judah) as a corporate people
would remove themselves from
the G-d of Israel's spiritual
ark of the covenant (the
Jewish Messiah [Mashiach]
Yeshua/Jesus) for 2,000 years
following the first coming of
Yeshua/Jesus as the suffering
Messiah (Mashiach) known as
Messiah ben Yosef (Joseph). At
the end of 6,000 years of
time (Olam Hazeh), the Jewish
people as a corporate nation
will accept Yeshua/Jesus as
their Messiah (Mashiach). In
Hosea (Hoshea) 5:15, 6:1-3 it
is written:
"I
will go and return to my place, till they
acknowledge
their offense, and seek my face: in their
affliction
they will seek me early. Come and let us
return
unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will
heal
us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
After
two days [2,000 years from the Messiah's first
coming]
will he revive us: in the third day [the
Messianic
Age/Athid Lavo] he will raise us up, and we
shall
live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we
follow
on to know the Lord: his going forth is
prepared
as the morning; and he shall come unto us as
the
rain, as the latter and former rain unto the
earth."
4. Joshua 3:5. Sanctify
yourselves for TOMORROW the L-rd
will do wonders among you.
Joshua 3:7. The Lord said to
Joshua, THIS DAY will I begin
to magnify thee in the sight
of all of Israel.
The TOMORROW and the THIS DAY
= Four days + 2,000 cubits or
6,000 years.
After 6,000 years (Olam Hazeh
/ the present age), the L-rd
will magnify the sight of the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus in the sight of
all of Israel during the time
of Jacob's (Ya'acov's trouble
- Jeremiah [Yermiyahu] 30:7)
tribulation/birth pangs of
the Messiah (Chevlai shel
Mashiach).
THE
BIRTH OF JACOB
The birth of Jacob (Ya'acov) is a spiritual picture/blueprint of
6,000 years (Olam Hazeh). Jacob (Ya'acov) is Israel (Genesis
[Bereishit] 32:27-28).
1. Isaac (Yitzchak) is 40
years old when he marries Rebekah
(Rivkah) (Genesis [Bereishit]
25:20).
Isaac (Yitzchak) is a type of
the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus. These 40 years
are a spiritual
picture/blueprint that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus will come to the
earth at His first coming as
the suffering Messiah
(Mashiach) known as Messiah ben Yosef
(Joseph).
2. Rebekah (Rivkah) will be
barren for 20 years before
Jacob (Israel) is born
(Genesis [Bereishit] 25:21,26).
After 20 years (2,000 years),
Rebekah (Rivkah) bears Jacob
(Ya'acov). This is a
spiritual picture/blueprint given to
us by the G-d of Israel that
2,000 years following the
first coming of the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus
as the suffering Messiah
known to the Jewish people (house
of Judah) as Messiah ben
Yosef (Joseph), the Jewish people
(house of Judah) as a
corporate nation will accept the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus as their Messiah.
THE
CHILDREN OF JACOB BY LEAH
In Genesis (Bereishit) 29, Leah has seven children. This is a
spiritual picture/blueprint given to us by the G-d of Israel of His
7,000-year redemptive plan from the creation of Adam in the Garden of
Eden (Gan Eden) to the end of the Messianic Age (Athid Lavo).
1. The first son is Reuben
(Genesis [Bereishit] 29:32).
Reuben is the Strong's word
7205 which comes from two
Hebrew words. These two
Hebrew words are the Strong's word
7200 which means "to
see" and the Strong's word 1121 which
means "a son." So,
Reuben means "to see a son."
2. The second son is Simeon
(Genesis [Bereishit] 29:33).
Simeon is the Strong's word
8095 in the Hebrew dictionary
and comes from the Strong's
word 8085 which is the Hebrew
word "Shema" which
means "to hear." So, the name Simeon
means "hearing."
3. The third son is Levi
(Genesis [Bereishit] 29:34). Levi
is the Strong's word 3878 in
the Hebrew dictionary and
comes from the Strong's word
3867 which is the Hebrew word
"Lavah" which means
"to join." So, the name Levi means "to
join."
4. The fourth son is Judah
(Genesis [Bereishit] 29:35).
Judah is the Strong's word
3063 which is the Hebrew word
"Yehudah" which
means "to praise."
Judah (Yehudah) is the fourth
son of Leah. It was
prophesied by the G-d of
Israel though Jacob (Ya'acov) that
the scepter (authority to
rule and reign) would not depart
from Judah and that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) would be
from the tribe of Judah. In
Genesis (Bereishit) 49:10 it is
written:
"The
scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a
lawgiver
from between his feet, until Shiloh [a term
for
the Jewish Messiah] come; and unto him shall the
gathering
of the people be."
Even as Judah (Yehudah) was
the fourth son of Leah, the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus came to the earth
4,000 years from the creation
of Adam in the Garden of Eden
(Gan Eden) and was born from
the tribe of Judah (Hebrews
7:14, Revelation 5:5). After
four children, Leah's womb
stops (Genesis [Bereishit]
29:35). This is a spiritual
picture/blueprint given to us
by the G-d of Israel that the
Jewish people (house of
Judah) would not receive the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus as a corporate nation
during His first coming as
the suffering Messiah known as
Messiah ben Yosef (Joseph)
following the creation of Adam
in the Garden of Eden (Gan
Eden).
5. The fifth son is Issachar
(Genesis [Bereishit] 30:18).
Issachar is the Strong's word
3485 in the Hebrew
dictionary. Issachar comes
from the Strong's word 7939
which means "hire or
wages." So, Issachar means "my hiring
or my wages."
This is a spiritual
picture/blueprint given to us by the
G-d of Israel that following
the first coming of the Jewish
Messiah (Mashiach)
Yeshua/Jesus as the suffering Messiah
known as Messiah ben Yosef
(Joseph) and the destruction of
the Temple (Beit HaMikdash)
that the Jewish people (house
of Judah) would be scattered
among the nations as a "hired"
people.
6. The sixth son is Zebulun
(Genesis [Bereishit] 30:19-20).
Zebulun is the Strong's word
2074 in the Hebrew dictionary.
Zebulun comes from the
Strong's word 2082 which means "to
dwell." So, Zebulun
means "dwelling."
This is a spiritual
prophetic/blueprint given to us by the
G-d of Israel that after
6,000 years of time (Olam
Hazeh/the present age) He
will dwell with His people
through the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus during
the Messianic Age (Athid
Lavo).
7. The seventh child is a
daughter named Dinah (Genesis
[Bereishit] 30:21). Dinah is
the Strong's word 1783. It is
related to the Strong's word
1779 which is "Din" which
means "to judge."
So, Dinah means "judge."
Dinah (female) is a spiritual
picture/blueprint given to us
by the G-d of Israel that
after 6,000 years of time (Olam
Hazeh) the Jewish Messiah
(Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus will live
and dwell with His Bride
(female) during the Messianic Age
(Athid Lavo) ruling and
reigning with her judging the
nations. In I Corinthians
6:2-3 it is written:
"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?
. know ye
not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that
pertain to this life?"
In Revelation 5:10 it is
written:
"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and
we shall
reign on the earth."
In Revelation 20:4 it is
written:
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and
judgment was
given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were
beheaded
for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and
which had
not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had
received
his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they
lived
and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
CHAPTER
SUMMARY
In this chapter, we studied the 7,000-year redemptive plan of the
G-d of Israel. In doing so, we were able to understand that the G-d
of Israel gave the seven days of creation in the book of Genesis
(Bereishit) as a prophetic foreshadowing of His 7,000-year plan for
man following the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden).
Each day in creation represents 1,000 years of time. The seventh day
of creation (Sabbath) is a prophetic picture/blueprint of the
1,000-year Messianic Age (Athid Lavo).
These 7,000 years of time were outlined for us in Genesis
(Bereishit) 1:1 with the six occurrences of the Hebrew letter, Alef.
The fourth word in Hebrew in Genesis (Bereishit) 1:1 is the Hebrew word (Alef, Tav) which
spiritually
represents the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus. This fourth
letter is also a spiritual picture/blueprint given to us by the G-d
of Israel that the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus would come
to the earth as the suffering Messiah known as Messiah ben Yosef
(Joseph) 4,000 years after the creation of Adam and Eve.
We examined the Biblical evidence through genealogy and
chronology that the Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus came to
the earth around 4,000 years following the creation of Adam in the
Garden of Eden (Gan Eden). Finally, we studied Biblical
pictures/blueprints (sod/deeper meaning) of the 7,000-year prophetic
plan of the G-d of Israel using various examples in Scripture.
In order for full restoration to come to both the house of Judah
(Judaism) and the house of Israel (Christianity), Christianity (house
of Israel) must begin to replace their traditional prophetic
understanding of time based upon dispensationalism (age of law/age of
grace) with the 7,000-year redemptive plan of the G-d of Israel.
Meanwhile, the house of Judah (Judaism) needs to realize that the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach) Yeshua/Jesus came to the earth 4,000 years
following the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden) as
the suffering Messiah known as Messiah ben Yosef (Joseph) at the
exact time when they were expecting the G-d of Israel to send the
Jewish Messiah (Mashiach).
May the G-d of Israel bring redemption, restoration,
reconciliation and unity to both houses of Israel speedily in our
days. Amen !!
