Kislev Scripture Lesson #5: Help of the Heavenly Father:
התשיעי לחדש התשיעי אביעזר הענתתי (לבנימיני) לבן ׀ ימיני ועל מחלקתו עשרים וארבעה אלף׃
הַתְּשִׁיעִי֙ לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַתְּשִׁיעִ֔י אֲבִיעֶ֥זֶר הָעַנְּתֹתִ֖י (לבנימיני) לַבֵּ֣ן ׀ יְמִינִ֑י וְעַל֙ מַחֲלֻקְתּ֔וֹ עֶשְׂרִ֥ים וְאַרְבָּעָ֖ה אָֽלֶף׃
1 Chronicles 27:12: “The ninth for the ninth month was Aviezer ha Antoti (la Benymini) [la ben] Yemini; and in his division were 24,000.”
Help of My Father:
The context here is one of national defense.
This verse of scripture is related to “warfare.” There are twelve months in the year: And you have to be ready to defend yourself during each and every month. The commander of the ninth month of Kislev is Aviezer (Abiezer). The name of Aviezer means, “Help of My Father.” Kislev is the month when the ‘Help’ of the heavenly Father (Avinu Shebashamayim) was sent from heaven and arrived on earth.
Help of My Father.
Kislev 25 is the exact time when the Eternal Light from heaven came down to earth, entered the womb of the blessed Jewess Miryam, and miraculously gave conception to Messiah ben Ha-Elohim. The conception of the Messiah is the fulfillment of God’s promise to place His own Indwelling Presence into the physical womb of a Jewish woman. This miracle Seed of the woman would, therefore, be Divinely empowered to defeat the seed of the evil one.
Messiah is our Shepherd-Warrior.
Messiah is the Shepherd-Warrior who Avinu Shebashamayim sent to save us from the three enemies of our souls: the world, the flesh, *ra-ha-yetzer, and the devil. Messiah is our Shepherd-Warrior who perfectly hears, understands, and obeys all of the commandments of our heavenly Father.
*The evil impulse.
Like the glory cloud all of the Divine Presence dwells within him–Rabbeinu Yeshua.
Due to Messiah’s perfect obedience all of the Divine Presence dwells in him bodily. Once Messiah finished *His/his work of atonement and resurrection He triumphantly ascended into heaven and is now seated on our behalf (He is our Advocate) at the Right Hand of the Majesty (ישב לימין הגדלה במרומים).
במשיח, בגופו, שוכן כל מלוא האלהות.פ
In Messiah, in his body, dwells all the fullness of the Godhead.
*Mystery: The Messiah (anointed one) is fully God (the Spirit) and fully human (mind, soul, body) dwelling together in perfect unity (echad). When we refer to Jesus/Yeshua we are referring to the name of the only human being (Beit-El) who has and always will perfectly hear, understand, and obey God. When we refer to Ha-Mashiach (the Anointed One) we are referring to both the Name of (YHWH) the Spirit of God (El-Beit-El) and the name of the man in whom all of His Divinity dwells bodily. GOD is the head of Yeshua, and Yeshua is the head over all creation excepting only God!
שכן האלהים שת הכול תחת רגליו. ובאמרו שהכול הושת תחתיו, ברור כי השת את הול תחתיו איננו בכלל הזה. וכאשר הכול יושת תחתיו, אז גם הבן עצמו יהיה כפוף למי ששת תחתיו את הכל, למען יהיה האלהים הכול בכול.פ
For GOD put everything under his [Rabbeinu Yeshua’s] feet. And when it is said that everything is put under him [the Son], it is clear that He who put all things in subjection to him is *excepted; and when all things are put under him, then the Son himself will also be subject to Him [GOD] who put all things under him, so that GOD may be all in all.
בָּרוּר כִּי הַשָּׁת אֶת הַכֺּל תַּחְתָּיו אֵינֶנּוּ בַּכְּלָל הַזֶּה! פ
It is clear that the *One who subdues everything under him is not included in this *rule!
*GOD the Father of All (Avi-Khol) is not in subjection to His Son.
The Beloved Son is seated at the Right Hand of the Father:
Two additional word pictures are in view here. First, the commander of the rapid response forces assigned to the month of Kislev is described as an Anathotite of the tribe of Benjamin.
Messiah (Fully God-fully man) is God’s answer to our prayers for deliverance.
The Hebrew root word of this term Anathotite is “anatot” (ענתות). ‘Ana (ענה) means to answer or respond or even to testify. Therefore this term means “answer to prayer.” Kislev is the ninth month when the feminine “solution,” “answer” (עַנָת-anat) to our prayers arrived—when the Spirit of the Living God supernaturally conceived the promised one in the womb of the virgin Miryam, a royal descendant of King David—the child Yeshua ben David.
All twelve names of the twelve tribes of Israel are a testimony to the Messiah.
Second, Benyamin means “Son of My Right Hand.” The word Anathotite communicates specifically what faction/function of the Son of the Right Hand is in view here. Therefore, Yeshua ben David is the Son of the Right Hand who is our help—the answer to our prayers—the anointed one that the Father has sent to deliver us from the enemies of *God’s Rule!
*Yisra’el means “God’s Rule.”
