The task ahead of us is never as great as the POWER behind us.

THE LAVER  (Part 2 - Conclusion)
"The LORD spoke to Moses saying — Make a laver of copper and a stand of copper for it, for washing; and place it between the Tent of Meeting and the altar. Put water in it." [Exodus (Shemot) 30. 17 - 18 Tanakh, Torah]

The Foot is the foundation upon which the Laver stands.  All the foundations of the Tabernacle furniture picture the LORD MESSIAH YESHUA (seen in Matthew as the KING, Mark as the SERVANT, Luke as the MAN, John as the EAGLE), there is no other foundation!   Time and again, it is written as "the laver and his foot."  The WORD OF GOD stands upon CHRIST JESUS and is upheld by HIM.  These are inseparable, not one without the other.

The Laver was located at the Door of the Tabernacle.  It was highly polished so to reflect the Door and the Copper Altar, for it stood between them.  The WORD OF GOD, like a mirror, reveals the Cross (Sacrifice Altar) and the Door (MESSIAH YESHUA) which we enter in to fellowship with the MOST HOLY GOD ETERNAL.

The Copper Basin situated before the Tabernacle of the Congregation (Holy Place) which housed the Table of Shewbread, shows that there is an experience of cleansing before feasting.  Children are not to be dirty when they come to the table, they are commanded to "wash first."  No believer is entitled to come to the Breaking of Bread at the Table in the Holy Place without self-examination.  "Let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup; for if we judge ourselves, we would not be judged." [1 Corinthians 11. 28-31]

The priests could not wash themselves with the Laver, there was to be water put in it.  This points to a great spiritual truth that cleansed them and made them ready for their tasks.  The only water the sons of Israel had in the desert was that which gushed forth from the SMITTEN ROCK. [Exodus/Shemot 17. 6]   Moses was commanded of the SOVEREIGN ALMIGHTY ONE to strike the rock (which Moses did) and water came forth for the thirsty Israelites. [Numbers/B'Midvar 20. 8, 11]   For water the second time, Moses was to speak to the ROCK; but instead he struck it twice.  For this sin of disobedience Moses was not permitted to enter the Promised Land with the Children of Israel.  

MESSIAH YESHUA, THE ROCK, was struck once and ever after we need but sp

eak to HIM for our supply of spiritual drink!   "Our fathers…all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that SPIRITUAL ROCK that followed them (went with them), and that ROCK was CHRIST." [1 Corinthians 10. 4]  The LORD MESSIAH YESHUA is the ROCK OF AGES.   It was only after this PRIZED ROCK was struck (on the Cross, then raised from the dead, and ascended up into Heaven) that there was poured out "SPIRITUAL DRINK (HOLY SPIRIT)" for HIS people.

To be effective, the WATER OF THE WORD MUST BE APPLIED.   Not only are we to believe GOD'S WORD by receiving it, but we are to serve GOD'S WORD by observing (obeying) it.  We are to be DOERS of the WORD — not only HEARERS only. [James 1. 21 – 27; Romans 2. 13]  

Sha’alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!  
Whoever serves GOD out of love devotes himself to HIS law and to the observance of HIS commandments, and walks in the paths of wisdom, not because of any worldly advantage, nor to protect himself from evil, nor even to inherit good hereafter; he does the right because it is right, though in the end the blessing will not fail him.  To love the LORD GOD with all your heart, is its own reward. 


Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, is praying for the return of our Messiah and Lord and for the Kingdom of God He is bringing when He comes.  Then God's Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and the world will experience true godly universal peace.
