In connection with the raising of the dead of ‘Lazarus – My God is help’ through the intervention of Jesus as written in John 11, the Holy Spirit led me to the field of commission of the servant Abraham, who bears the Hebrew name ‘Eliezer’. This is about the meaning of his Hebrew name, which is the same for ‘Lazarus’ (cf. Genesis 15:2).

 

Genesis 15:2:
2 But Abram said, ‘Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?’

 

 

In the life of the servant of Abraham, there was a special commission that involved leading the younger generation into togetherness in the form of Isaac, which also corresponds to the apostolic mission (cf. Genesis 24:1-4 i.c.w. Mark 6:7).

 

Genesis 24:1-4:
1 Abraham was now very old, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.
2 He said to the senior servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had, ‘Put your hand under my thigh.
3 I want you to swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living,
4 but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.’

 

Mark 6:7:
7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.

 

In the context of Lazarus, we may view the commissioning of Eliezer as a sending forth in resurrection power, which involves that which is not possible coming into existence. This is about an increase in the joy and glory of God, which is connected to the field of authority and the kingship of the ecclesia (cf. Proverbs 12:4a).

 

Proverbs 12:4a:
4a A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, …

 

The servant of Abraham was sure of his position under the leadership of the ‘father’ (Note: ‘Abraham’ means ‘father of many’) and his responsibility given to him because he had the wealth of his master. We know that he decided to go with ten camels and wealth into the future of the ‘togetherness of the son of Abraham’ (cf. Genesis 24:10).

 

Genesis 24:10:
10 Then the servant left, taking with him ten of his master’s camels loaded with all kinds of good things from his master. He set out for Aram Naharaim and made his way to the town of Nahor.

 

 

We need to understand that we should be aware that we do not define the things entrusted to us by the Heavenly Father as our possessions. This is given as grace entrusted to us to be used for the glorification of God’s plan and purpose (cf. Galatians 2:20).

 

Galatians 2:20:
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

 

Jesus modeled this principle for us by reflecting the Father on earth in His actions, words and appearance (cf. John 5:19; John 14:9-11).

 

John 5:19:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: ‘Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

 

John 14:9-11:
9 Jesus answered: ‘Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, “Show us the Father”?
10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.

 

This is why it is necessary for us to be absorbed in the structure of servanthood, as Jesus instructed (cf. Matthew 23:11), to have the Father’s blessings at our disposal.

 

Matthew 23:11:
11 The greatest among you will be your servant.

 

This helps us not to set our hearts on the material and intangible things the LORD entrusts to us in life (cf. Psalm 62:11).

 

Psalm 62:11:
10 Do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

 

=> In Hebrew, the verb ‘to have’ does not exist directly. In this context, the twelfth Hebrew letter ‘Lamed’ has a special meaning.
The ‘Lamed’ is used to communicate what is known as ‘to have’. The Hebrew word ‘li’ is used for ‘I have’ or ‘mine’. The word ‘lo’ is used for ‘he has’ or ‘his’. And the word ‘lecha’ is used for ‘you have’ or ‘yours’. So you can’t really ‘have’ in Hebrew. But what you ultimately ‘have’ is better than ‘have’. The ‘Lamed’ means ‘to’. So instead of saying ‘I have’, you say it is ‘to me’. And instead of saying ‘he has’ or ‘his’, you actually say ‘it is to him’. With God, it is beneficial to live in harmony with holy language. This means giving up the idea that you ‘have’ in this world. (cf. 1 John 2:15-17) <=

 

1 John 2:15-17:
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.
16 For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – comes not from the Father but from the world.
17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives for ever.

 

(Note: The text set in ‘=>’ is based on a German explanation of ‘Lamed’ from the book ‘THE BOOK OF MYSTERIES’, page 170 by Jonathan Cahn)

 

 

The coming glory that we, like Eliezer, will encounter will be accompanied by a divine measure of rest and spiritual power as well as two specific aspects of the Holy Spirit’s work, as indicated by the terms ‘the land of Mesopotamia’ and ‘the city of Nahor’. The land of ‘Mesopotamia’ can be described as the ‘land of two rivers’ and the name ‘Nahor’ means ‘snorting, snoring’.

 

These two rivers are the Tigris and the Euphrates, which according to the Word of God are the third and fourth branches of the outgoing river in Eden. The rivers are closely connected with the hidden blessings of God, which is based on the principle of Genesis 2:11-12.

 

Genesis 2:11-12:
11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)

 

Jesus Christ clearly referred to the power or work of the Holy Spirit in connection with the meaning of the river structure (cf. John 7:38-39a).

 

John 7:38-39a:
‘… 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.’
39a By this he meant the Spirit, …

 

This reveals to us that it is the Holy Spirit who leads to the hidden treasures in Christ Jesus, which are wisdom and knowledge (cf. Colossians 2:2-3).

 

Colossians 2:2-3:
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

 

In addition, the guidance of the Holy Spirit helps us to recognize the promise of God in the future, which is still hidden from our current spiritual perspective.

 

The name ‘Tigris’ means ‘sharp, pointed, arrow’. The name ‘Euphrates’ means ‘sweet, pleasant water’. Based on the outgoing of the servant of Abraham, it becomes clear that it is necessary to enter into the rest of God and devote oneself to the sharpness of His Word and His revelatory power (cf. Hebrews 4:1.12-13 i.c.w. 1 Samuel 14:27).

 

Hebrews 4:1.12-13:
1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. …
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

 

1 Samuel 14:27:
27 But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath, so he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.

 

 

It is no coincidence that the servant of Abraham set out with ten camels on the way to the future of the ‘togetherness of Isaac’, because camels also stand for bearers of burdens and thus also point to the help of angels who help us as people of God to obtain or secure the promise of the LORD (cf. Hebrews 1:14).

 

Hebrews 1:14:
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

 

Furthermore, like Eliezer, we are called to cooperate with the presence of the ‘spring’, which in Hebrew is associated with the ‘eye’ (Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’). The area of the ‘spring’ is the place where we should ask ourselves what we want to focus on and what we want to take hold of (cf. Genesis 24:13.16).

 

Genesis 24:13.16:
13 See, I am standing beside this spring [Note: Hebrew: ‘Ayin’], and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. …
16 The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring, filled her jar and came up again.

 

The area of the ‘well’ is in this context a reference to the spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus (cf. Revelation 19:10e).

 

Revelation 19:10e:
... 19e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.

 

God granted Eliezer’s request so that Rebekah as ‘the promise of the togetherness of Isaac’ appeared to that time in the realm of the ‘eye’ to bring the hidden waters of God’s depths to the surface to reveal them before men represented by Eliezer, and angels represented by the camels (cf. Ephesians 3:8b-10).

 

Ephesians 3:8b-10:
..., 8b this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, 9 and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.
10 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, …

 

For us, it is also of great importance that the number ‘10 – ăśar’ heralds the first level of a decade of tens and in Hebrew sounds phonetically similar to the name ‘Eliezer’ at the end. It is the level of the ‘tens’, which consist of two digits and in this context refers to ‘togetherness’ initiated by God the Father. (Note: Hebrew word explanation for the number ‘10 – ăśar’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 6349-6352*).

 

While Eliezer stayed in the natural realm at the well (Note: Hebrew ‘Beer’), he acted in the supernatural realm in the dynamic of the eye (Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’), i.e. the prophetic perspective according to the biblical passages from Genesis 24:11.20 and Genesis 24:13.16.

 

Genesis 24:11.20:
11 He made the camels kneel down near the well [Note: Hebrew ‘Beer’] outside the town; it was towards evening, the time the women go out to draw water. …
20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well [Note: Hebrew ‘Beer’] to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels.

 

Genesis 24:13.16:
13 See, I am standing beside this spring [Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’], and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. …
16 The woman was very beautiful, a virgin; no man had ever slept with her. She went down to the spring [Note: Hebrew ‘Ayin’], filled her jar and came up again.

 

 

This resulted in Rebekah getting blessed with the glory of the father, Abraham, of her coming promise of togetherness, Isaac, through the servant of Abraham and thus increased in glory and weight (cf. Genesis 24:22).

 

Genesis 24:22:
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold nose ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels.

 

‘Rebekah’ means ‘one captivating with her beauty’, whose spiritual inheritance points to the authority of God, His royal counsel, power and rest, which the LORD desires to express through His ecclesia in this age and the age to come (cf. Genesis 24:24).

 

Genesis 24:24:
24 She answered him, ‘I am the daughter of Bethuel [Note: descendant/man of God], the son that Milkah [Note: counselor, queen] bore to Nahor [Note: snorting, snorting one].’

 

The promise of Rebekah encompasses the spiritual inheritance that extends through the generations into our time to reveal the glory of God in a concentrated form.

 

May this beauty join with the joy of the LORD to recognize His strength in this time, which is entrusted to us as saints in Christ.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,

 

Daniel Glimm

In chapter 6 of the book of the prophet Isaiah, it says that Isaiah saw the LORD sitting on a high and exalted throne in the year of King Uzziah’s death, while God’s hem filled the temple.

 

Here Isaiah saw seraphim above the throne of God with six wings, two of which covered their faces and two their feet, while they flew with the third pair of wings.

 

 

Meanwhile, they shouted the word ‘Holy!’ three times and proclaimed that the land was full of the glory of the LORD of hosts. As a result, the doorposts in the threshold of the throne room shook and the temple in the spirit realm was filled with smoke (cf. Isaiah 6:1-4).

Isaiah 6:1-4:
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.
2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

 

This glory is associated with the character of God as YAHWEH-ZEBAOTH or also as LORD of hosts or armies. It is thus a militant glory that extends over the earth and operates from a different realm of time with greater duration, as the realm of the stars acting on the earth realm so that there is the smashing of evil (cf. Judges 5:20-21).

 

Judges 5:20-21:
20 From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 The River Kishon swept them away, the age-old river, the River Kishon. March on, my soul; be strong!

 

Jesus said in John 12:24 that if the grain of wheat did not fall into the ground and dies, it would remain alone, but if it dies, it will bear much fruit. This statement by Christ in connection with the death of King Uzziah should make it clear to us at this time what God’s plan involves in a period of change.

Whenever God brings about His plan of change, it is inevitable that we will have to say goodbye to an outdated or former structure in order to be able to produce greater fruit.

 

In connection with the name ‘Uzziah => My strength is YAHWEH’, this means that the LORD wants us to increase in spiritual strength. The explanation also reveals that whenever a righteous person dies on earth, they leave behind a potential spiritual inheritance.

The time when King Uzziah died was a period set by God to increase the strength of the LORD. Since the LORD is also the God of generations, He always allows righteous people to increase in blessing where He finds them in the generational line (cf. Exodus 20:6).

Exodus 20:6:
… 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

 

In the year of King Uzziah’s death, Isaiah was raised up as a prophet into the throne room of God to see the kingship of God with the purpose of instructing God’s people in it. This means that in times of transition, in shifts in authority, the LORD gives His prophets a detailed insight into His royal presence so that they can begin to tell and instruct God’s people.

 

We are encouraged as the people of God to enter into the sound of the triple ‘Holy!’ that comes with a new season. This triple ‘Holy!’ was proclaimed from the angelic structure of the ‘seraphim – the burning, the fiery, the refining ones’ into the spiritual atmosphere of Isaiah’s sojourn so that the thresholds shook.

 

This is a reference to the shaking of a fulfilled measure of time and at the same time a new realm of time that is linked to God’s level of government as well as His righteous judgments that reveal His glory (cf. Daniel 7:9-10).

 

Daniel 7:9-10:
9 ‘As I looked, ‘thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.
10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

 

At this point, it is of great importance to note that the spiritual angelic dimension in Daniel 7 is categorized as ‘thousands upon thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand’, whereas in Revelation 5:11 this is stated in the opposite way.

 

Revelation 5:11 (KJV):
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; …

 

This is not a contradiction, but rather a reference to another spiritual level that is preceded by hidden prophecy, because a short time later the Lamb of God begins to open the seven seals of the scroll that He previously received from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne (cf. Revelation 6:1).

 

Revelation 6:1:
1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, ‘Come!’

 

 

The fiery presence of God’s righteousness from Daniel 7:9-10 carries a hidden power of God’s judgments that makes us forget in a positive way (Note: The name ‘Manasseh’ means ‘He who makes forget.’), due to the blessing of Moses that Manasseh is associated with the thousands and Ephraim with the tens of thousands, in which we can recognize the measure of God’s angels before the throne (cf. Deuteronomy 33:17).

 

Deuteronomy 33:17:
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh.’

 

The ‘bull’ is called ‘šôr’ in Hebrew and has horns pointing directly forward, just as it is written about the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh in Deuteronomy 33:17.

 

Thus, the fiery righteous presence of God encompasses a measure of the fighting glory of God that blasts away evil without compromise.

 

The Hebrew word for ‘horn’ is ‘qärän’ and reveals strength and power. According to the Word of God, it is used as a shofar and as an anointing vessel.

 

The Hebrew word ‘to shine – qāran’ as used in Exodus 34:29 is closely related to the Hebrew word for ‘horn – qärän’.

 

Exodus 34:29:
29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant [Note: had horns] because he had spoken with the Lord.

 

This means that Moses reflected the face of God in the form of the bull, while he was surrounded by the fatherhood of God in the form of the priesthood and accompanied by the spirit of strength. The presence of God with which Moses was surrounded resulted in the manifestation of the fear of the LORD amid the people of Israel (cf. Exodus 34:30).

Exodus 34:30:
30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant [Note: Hebrew ‘qāran’), and they were afraid to come near him.

 

The ‘bull’ is also associated with the Hebrew letter ‘Aleph’, which has the numerical value ‘1’ and means, among other things, ‘ox, leader, strength, master/LORD’. The pictographic representation of the Hebrew letter ‘Aleph’ is a ‘bull’s head’.

 

The ‘Aleph’ is the so-called ‘Father letter’ because everything begins with the Father, who as the Almighty is the beginning and end of everything, and the Hebrew word for ‘Father – āb’ begins with an ‘Aleph’ (cf. Revelation 1:8).

 

Revelation 1:8:
8 ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’

 

This shows that all judgments are based on the presence of the Father, who demands that justice be established on earth by ‘repelling’ or putting evil in its place (cf. Isaiah 26:9 i.c.w. Revelation 19:2; Deuteronomy 32:35-36).

 

Isaiah 26:9:
9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.

 

Revelation 19:2:
‘… 2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants.’

 

Deuteronomy 32:35-36:
35 It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.’
36 The Lord will vindicate his people and relent concerning his servants when he sees their strength is gone and no-one is left, slave or free.

 

 

In addition, there is another triple ‘Holy!’ that comes from the mouths of the four beings (cf. Revelation 4:8).

 

Revelation 4:8:
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all round, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: ‘ “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,” who was, and is, and is to come.’

 

According to the biblical passage just mentioned, the exclamation of the triple ‘Holy!’ goes hand in hand with the correct recognition of the moment amid temporary time. The temporary time is connected to the beginning and the end and is arranged in a linear form, like a river.

 

The angelic presence of the seraphim in Isaiah 6 and that of the four living creatures in Revelation 4 each carry six wings, which in this context is a reference to the spiritual presence of heaven that affects people who are on earth. This is why we know that man – Adam was created by God on the sixth day and God is spirit (cf. Genesis 1:26-27.31 i.c.w. John 4:24a).

 

Genesis 1:26-27.31:
26 Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. …
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning – the sixth day.

 

John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …

 

 

To properly understand the judgments and verdicts of God, we need to be in and not before the throne room. These things can we only understand by standing in the center of God’s garment, much like the prophet Isaiah, which signifies the relationship with Him as the Heavenly Father in His royalty.

 

It is in the throne room behind the door where Jesus Christ appears in a new spiritual facet, namely as the Lamb of God and King of kings in highest authority (cf. Isaiah 6:1 i.c.w. Revelation 5:6; Revelation 17:14).

 

Isaiah 6:1:
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

 

Revelation 5:6:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the centre of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

 

Revelation 17:14:
‘… 14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings – and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.’

 

It is the Lamb of God who identifies with the reign of the LORD, His character as well as the wisdom God has imparted to His ecclesia, to become revelatory in terms of the righteousness of God (cf. Revelation 5:6-7).

 

Revelation 5:6-7:
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the centre of the throne [Note: government], encircled by the four living creatures [Note: character] and the elders [Note: God’s imparted wisdom to the ecclesia]. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.

 

If we are not willing to stand in this cooperation of the threefold ‘Holy!’ and the recognition of His authority, we cannot comprehend or welcome God’s righteousness and judgments, which is what we are meant to do as ecclesia.

 

Even more it is up to us to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into grace and truth, to make ourselves one with the nature of God, which is always holy, and to lay aside everything else. Only in recognizing and acknowledging the royalty of our Father do we come to the maturity that we love Christ, the Lamb of God, in such a way that we as God’s people want to reign in Him and not give up.

 

Amen and Amen.

 

In His Wisdom,
