pierced but NOT broken

[Shmanu YAH]

shalom mishpacha, "baruk h'shem YHWH!" and also all praises and glory to the Most High YHWH - from where all true wisdom and knowledge is given.

In this very brief blog or in this case inculcation, I'd like to look at the focus and current condition of the body of mashiach.

Those of us with wisdom should also understand that Yahushua ( who is also revealed as the word / scripture made flesh ) himself cannot be broken because he hinted to all those would hear in understand in John 10:33-35, ......The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Yahushua answered them "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are els? 35 If he called them els, unto whom the word of Elohym came, and the scripture cannot be broken" ...... - this statement was two-fold but that was not understood till much later, both he and the words the father gave him will never be broken.

We all should already know who the head is so we being the body lets first look at some prophecies about what the body has endured like such as the ones given to Dawid, first in Psalms 22:16 it's written: "For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet". then in Psalms 34:20 reads: "He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken". showing partially the results of his execution.

Also in Zkr'yah aka ZechariYAH meaning "YAH remembers me" In chapter 12:10 it reads: "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn". ......- this prophecy is no doubt about mashiach - and in the more accurate hebrew translation it makes even more sense because it's broken down: "they shall look upon / to me (about) HIM whom they have pierced, and they shall wail / mourn over him". ......- much better!

Even more we need to understand that to represent that sacrifice in torah, Yahushua would have to follow the procedure:
12:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 12:7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but ROAST WITH FIRE; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 12:10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

learn: anytime someone has you fixed to a verticle stake in the hot daylight and noon sun >>> You ARE BEEING ROASTED! ...selah

and yes, Yes his blood was on that stake - intending to be on the door post of your heart.

So we see in these prophecies that the physical body of mashiach would be nailed and pierced but NOT broken, how about the spiritual body?

Today the whole world over we (as well as many others) reguard ourselves as the body of mashiach but have we payed attention to what his physical body did endure and spiritual must?

I think apostle Paul gave us a hint when he told the faithful after he was stoned, dragged outside Lystra and left for dead recorded in Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and "that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of Elohym".

I'm not suggesting that everyone of us everyday must be stoned or pierced or attacked at the flesh but simply the true body must endure some things before reaching it's desired destination ... the KINGDOM.

If you in your daily walk feel pinched or nailed, poked or pierced or even roasted don't feel alone or abandoned it's just some things me MUST go through and endure without wavering or as h'mashiach told us in Matthew 24:13, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved".

Now lets look as the preservation of the bones, From the prophet Ezekiel in chapter 37 he speaks of "yabsh atzm" or "dry bones" not "broken bones" laying in a valley ... big difference. Likewise the spiritual body of mashiach can only be whole when the true spirit moves over those bones and restores them to their appointed structure but we see no mention of fixing "broken bones".
Yisrael in part may be dismembered, displaced or even torn asunder but not completely broken, the only thing that will be broken is our PRIDE!

Even Jacob who became Yisrael when he wrestled with the messenger his thighbone was moved out of place but NOT broken, from Gen. 32:25 we remember: And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him..... This is a direct indication that Yisrael was not to be completely broken.
We have all read in JeremiYah 5:18, "Nevertheless in those days, saith the Master, I will not make a full end with you". No matter how much the continual disobedience and rebellion he never purposed to break our bones ... haleluYAH!

We now understand the main reason the dry bones were not broken was because there was always a plan to restore them and they had to retain their structural strength, as in the physical body of mashiach would be restored 3 days after his burial.

We also read in prophecy and the gospels his body would first be uncovered, Psalms 22:18 "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture".and in Mat. 27:35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. If we are now the body of mashiach have we noticed a lack of covering? ... if so why?

Now we as the spiritual body must NOT focus on nailings or piercings or temporary uncovering but focus on the fact that we are NOT completely broken but were "sleep" like h'mashiach was in that tomb, till this ongoing awakening and restoration.

todah YHWH!
