more random thoughts...

had an interesting revelation from Abba Shabbat evening...

when we look at the tabernacle in the wilderness, it was set up like this -

the holy of holies surrounded by the inner court;
the inner court surrounded by the outer court;
the outer court surrounded by the Aaronic and Levitical priesthood;
the priesthood surrounded by the 12 tribes; ...
the 12 tribes surrounded by the converts and gentiles that followed them...

in the holy of holies, we find the ARK of the covenant covered by the cherubs and the mercy seat -
with the light of the Menorah, and the Torah scrolls, the rod of Aaron, the ashes of the red heifer and a jar of manna inside the ARK...

setting things back in their right order in these last days means centering our lives on what matters - His Word, His Presence, His Light, and His Son, Messiah Yeshua...

only then will we bring Messiah again - and only then will our lives be lived the way scripture commands!
