Blessed are You, YHVH our Elohim, You have set us apart by Your commandments and have commanded us to actively study Your Torah. Please YHVH, our Elohim, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all Your people Israel. May You open our eyes to see marvellous truths from Your Torah. Thank You for calling us who were once gentiles excluded from the citizenship of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise having no expectation and without Elohim- but now through the blood of Messiah we have gained access into the covenants and have obtained citizenship into the commonwealth of Israel. Blessed are You, YHVH, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Blessed are You, YHVH, Giver of the Torah.
The following diagram is a summary of this Torah portion:
Correction re the diagram:
The Camp of Judah must actually be 186.
The second chapter of the book of Bemidbar/Numbers describes the
arrangement of the tribal camps around the tabernacle. It describes where each
tribe was to be when camped, and it specifies the order in which each tribe was
to embark when marching to the Promised Land.
The time covered in this book is about 40 years.
In Numbers, it is describing a very hot, dry climate, where it was almost impossible to survive.
This book of Bemidbar (Numbers) has a profound prophetic significance for
an end time generation of believers and most probably refers to a group of end
time believers who come together in the second part of the final 7-year end
time tribulation – it is a survival guide and road map to the Promised Land for
an end time remnant.
YHVH Will Restore
Israel
Eze 20:33 “As I
live,” declares the Master יהוה,
“do not I, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured

Midrash on our journey back to the Promised Land:
Mat 22:14 “For many are called, but few are chosen – only two men out of 603550 men made it.
Act 14:22 strengthening the beings of the taught ones, encouraging
them to continue in the belief, and that through many pressures we have to
enter the reign of Elohim.
Most of us – if not all of us – are not ready or prepared to face what is
about to come upon all the people of this world. In these last days the Set
Apart Spirit is calling and preparing YHVH’s people.
The book of Numbers (Bemidbar)
serves as a travel guide and survival manual for the most epic journey
to face called out believers in the last days.
The first three and a half years of the final 7 years of this age are a
‘’warm up’’ for what will take place in the last three and a half years - This
last three and a half year period begins with the events described in Rev 7
where a faithful called out people will lead a remnant through the great
tribulation – these are the 144 000 sealed witnesses from the 12 tribes of
Israel and will enjoy special protection and blessing from YHVH to lead His
people through the darkest period of time in human history – such as the world
has ever seen – Mat 24:21 “For then there shall be great distress, such
as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever
shall be. (Or great
pressure, or great affliction.) Ex 8:22 – Goshen.
Joh 15:14 “You are My friends if you do whatever I command
you.
Joh 15:15 “No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not
know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for all teachings
which I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
As usual these end time events will begin in
Israel:
The Woman and the Dragon
Rev 12:1 And a great sign was
seen in the heaven: a woman clad with the sun, with the moon under her feet,
and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
Like the celestial events that preceded the birth
of Messiah in Beit -Lechem.
Rev 12:2 And being pregnant, she cried out in labour and in pain to
give birth.
Gal 4:19 My little children, for whom I am
again in birth pains until Messiah is formed in you,
Rev 12:3 And another sign was seen in the heaven: and see, a great,
fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his
heads. (combined religious and civil rule of the anti-messiah)
Rev 12:4 And his tail draws a third of the stars of the heaven and
throws them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about
to give birth, to devour her child as soon as it was born.
A similar attempt to destroy the Messianic witness
as was at Messiah’s birth – Matt 2:16
Rev 12:5 And she bore a male child[a] who was to shepherd all nations
with a rod of iron. Psa_2:9 And her child was caught away to
Elohim and to His throne. Footnote: aSee also Isa_26:17, Isa_66:7,
Mic_4:9-10.
Rev 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness,(Bemidbar) where she
has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred
and sixty days. (Second half of the last 7 year tribulation)
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
Rev 12:7 And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ěl and his
messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers
fought,
Rev 12:8 but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for
them in the heaven any longer.
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old,
called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to
the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.
Rev 12:10 And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have
come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim[b] and the
authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them
before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: bSee Rev_11:15.
Rev 12:11 “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb,
and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to
the death.
Rev 12:12 “Because of this rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in
them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you,
having great wrath, knowing that he has little time.”
Satan in one last desperate attempt will do all he
can to try and stop the Messiah from returning to earth
Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he had been thrown to the
earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. (Israel)
Rev 12:14 And the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, to fly
into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and
times and half a time, Dan_7:25, Dan_12:7 from the presence
of the serpent.
Rev 12:15 And out of his mouth the serpent spewed water like a river
after the woman, to cause her to be swept away by the river. (Acts
8:39-40 – Phillips transport)
Rev 12:16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its
mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon had spewed out of his
mouth. (Petra?)
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was enraged with the
woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those guarding the
commands of Elohim and possessing the witness of יהושע
Messiah. Ezek 20:35
Ingathering of the tribes
Isa 66:19
“And I shall set a sign (144000) among them, and shall send some of those who
escape to the nations – Tarshish and Pul and Luḏ, who draw the bow, and Tuḇal and Yawan, the coastlands afar off who
have not heard My report nor seen My esteem. And they shall declare My esteem
among the nations.
Isa 66:20
“And they shall bring all your brothers as an offering to יהוה out of all the nations, on horses and in
chariots and in litters, on mules and on camels, to My set-apart mountain
Yerushalayim,” declares יהוה,
“as the children of Yisra’ěl bring an offering in a clean vessel into the House
of יהוה.
Isa 66:21
“And from them too I shall take for priests – for Lěwites,” declares יהוה.
Isa 49:13 Sing, O heavens, rejoice, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains! For יהוה shall comfort His people and have compassion on His afflicted ones.
Isa 49:14 But Tsiyon says, “יהוה has
forsaken me, and יהוה has forgotten me.”
Isa 49:15 “Would a woman forget her nursing child, and not have
compassion on the son of her womb? Though they forget, I never forget
you.
Isa 49:16 “See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
your walls are always before Me.
Isa 49:17 “Your sons shall hurry, your destroyers and those who
laid you waste depart from you.
Isa 49:18 “Lift up your eyes round about and see, all of them
gather together and come to you. As I live,” declares יהוה, “you
shall put on all of them as an ornament, and bind them on you as a bride
does.
Isa 49:19 “For your wastes, and your deserted places, and the
land of your destruction, shall soon be too narrow for the inhabitants, while
those who swallowed you up are far away.
Isa 49:20 “The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your
ears, ‘The place is too narrow for me, make room for me to live.’
Isa 49:21 “And you shall say in your heart, ‘Who has brought
forth these for me, since I am bereaved and barren, an exile, and wandering to
and fro? And who reared them? See, I was left alone – from where did these
come?’ ”
Isa 49:22 Thus said the Master יהוה, “See, I
lift My hand up to the nations, and set up My banner for the peoples;
and they shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters carried on
their shoulders;
Isa 49:23 “And sovereigns shall be your foster fathers, and their
sovereignesses your nursing mothers. They bow down to you with their faces to
the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am יהוה – those who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.”
And so this book of Numbers is about the preparation of an end time remnant and the coming together of the 12 tribes of Israel - this will bring sanity to a completely out of control insane world in the last days.
Most people on earth don’t really take the Torah seriously, however in the last days this will change dramatically. All religious indoctrination that opposes the Torah will be exposed and many believers will be unable to accept and endure the harsh reality of the coming worldwide apocalypse. Mt 24:14
Eze 6:8 “But I shall leave a remnant, in that
some of you shall escape the sword among the nations, when you are scattered
throughout the lands.
Hos 4:6 “My people have perished for lack of
knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest
for Me. Since you have forgotten the Torah of your Elohim, I also forget your
children.
Isa 8:14
“And He shall be for a set-apart place, but a stone of stumbling and a rock
that makes for falling to both the houses of Yisra’ěl, as a trap and a snare to
the inhabitants of Yerushalayim.
Isa 8:15
“And many among them shall stumble and fall, and be broken and snared and
taken.”
Isa 8:16 Bind up the witness, seal the Torah among my taught ones.
Psa 119:118 You have made light of all those
Who stray from Your laws, For falsehood is their deceit.
Psa 119:126 It is time for יהוה
to act! For they have broken Your Torah.
Psa 119:136 Streams of water have run down from
my eyes, Because they did not guard Your Torah.
Psa 119:142 Your righteousness is righteousness
forever, And Your Torah is truth.
Psa 119:155 Deliverance is far from the wrong
ones, For they have not sought Your laws.
Psa 119:165 Great peace have those loving Your
Torah, And for them there is no stumbling-block.
Blessed are you YHVH, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have given
us your Torah of truth, and have planted everlasting life within our midst.
Blessed are you, YHVH giver of the Torah – Amein.
