The Fire of His Love for His Bride

 

 
Shabbat shalom in Him Who is of the order of Melek-Tsadiq, the King of righteousness,
 
Three things:
 

 
1. Shir haShirim and the ‘Fire of His Love’
 
He has imparted a deep love to me for the Song of Songs, Shir haShirim.  As you may have read from me previously, I had a profound and precious encounter with the Bridegroom some years ago. 
 
I was walking through our Master bedroom and He said to me, ‘Sit in your husband’s chair and read the Song of Songs’.  Obediently, I grabbed my Scriptures and sat down as He opened up His word to me so poignantly and beautifully.  He brought insight and understanding and perspective of His love for His Bride, all Yisrael.  My heart responded to the things He was showing and this most set-apart place in His word began to be bonded to my own being…
 
But then He said, ‘Now let Me read it to you’… 
 
Breaker upon breaker of His manifest love and understanding began to wash over me.  I was forever changed in the presence of the love of the Bridegroom for His Bride.  I have an 8 cd teaching on Shir haShirim containing these cherished insights.
 
Now ‘fast forward’ to some weeks ago as we are preparing to ‘go up to Tsiyon’ hand-in-hand with our Bridegroom.  A sister and fellow ‘dove’ (one going) sent me a cd called ‘Fire of Love… praying the Song of Songs’ (music by Andre Lefebvre, vocals by JoAnn McFatten, with Mike Bickle).
 
I had not even looked at the title, but simply put on the cd and His love began to envelope me.  Then He gave me a powerful unexpected vision.
 

 
VISION
 
Two angelic host came on either side of me and one took one of my arms and one took the other arm.  There in front of me was a large altar of fire.  In the vision, I saw that I was a bit resistant, but He had sent these angelic host to help move me forward.  They were leading me to His altar of fire.
 
Once there I saw myself in the midst of this altar from an aerial view.  I saw the four horns of the altar.  Around me was a circle of protection and then the fire of His consuming love from the four corners came and consumed me as I went up to Him. 
 
The vision startled me!  I ran to get the cd and looked at the title ‘Fire of Love’ and my soul was quieted.  He was showing that His love is a consuming fire and He is coming to envelope the Bride completely.  And in this she will be forever changed and become a living sacrifice and a pleasing aroma to Him.  And we, consumed by His love, will ascend to Him!  Not unlike Eliyahu… keep reading.
 

 
2. Torah parashah and the ‘ascending Bride’
 
Today in studying the Torah parashah (portion) commentary by Ardelle Brody came another powerful ‘clue’ regarding this vision.  Please go to this parashah and study this today.  It is very, very good.  Here is the link to this on Mordechai Silver’s website (I love and appreciate Mordechai… my first ‘cyber space’ contact, when I was going through my ‘Ephraim!’ shaking):  http://www.etz-chayim.org/torah-commentary/Vayikra-Commentary-2009-ArdelleBrody.pdf
 
In this Torah parashah she very rightly points out that the sacrificial system had no provision for intentional sin and that Yehoshua came to satisfy this provision for eternity as well as being the provision of forgiveness for all other sin as we repent and receive of Him.  She teaches briefly on Him ministering in the order of Melek-Tsadiq (very near and dear to my heart). 
 
But then she begins to address ‘the burnt offering made by fire’.  Know that Hebrew words are made up of consonants and that vowels were applied later to the ancient scrolls and how they are applied can change the meaning of the word.
 
אשּׁה
‘FIRE’/’WOMAN’/’WIFE’
 
Here is the verse discussed in the Torah parashah (portion) today, Leviticus 1:9
 
Lev 1:9 ‘But its entrails and its legs he washes with water. And the priest shall burn all of it on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance to יהוה.”
 
The word for ‘fire’ here is:
 
אשּׁה
'ishshâh
ish-shaw'
The same as H800, but used in a liturgical sense; properly a burnt offering; but occasionally of any sacrifice: - (offering, sacrifice), (made) by fire.
 
By changing an applied vowel, this word can also mean ‘woman’ or ‘wife’. 
 
Gen 2:21 So יהוה Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
Gen 2:22 And the rib which יהוה Elohim had taken from the man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Gen 2:23 And the man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. This one is called ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of man.”
 
The word for ‘woman’, which can also mean ‘wife’ as in a Bride:
 
H802
נשׁים    אשּׁה
'ishshâh  nâshîym
ish-shaw', naw-sheem'
The first form is the feminine of H376 or H582; the second form is an irregular plural; a woman (used in the same wide sense as H582).: - [adulter]ess, each, every, female, X many, + none, one, + together, wife, woman. Often unexpressed in English.
 
 
Therefore the phrase in the verse ‘a burnt offering, an offering made by fire’ could read:
 
‘An ascending woman or an ascending wife’!
 
Even as He showed me the ascending Bride consumed in the fire of His love!
 
Further, she writes regarding Leviticus 1:9:
 
“but he shall wash its inner parts (can also mean ‘and they shall draw near’… even as He showed me the angelic host helping us draw near even in the time of our flesh wanting to resist… He will send help to us!) and its legs (can also mean ‘and they shall bow’) with water.  And the priest shall burn all on the altar as a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to YHWH.”  Leviticus 1:9!!
 
His wife, His Bride, shall be washed by the water of His word! 
AND become a burnt offering of the fire of His love, a sweet aroma to our YHWH!!
 

 
ELIYAHU AND THE ALTAR OF ALL YISRAEL RESTORED
 
He is reminding me again of Eliyahu/Elijah.  He has shown me before regarding all the water in the scene of him ‘restoring the altar’.  Remember, he took twelve stones, (by the way there are 12 letters in the words ‘twelve stones’) even as are on the breastplate of the High Priest now in the order of Melek-Tsadiq, and he told Yisrael to draw near to him, ‘Come closer to me’, for our Abba, wants us to see and be involved in the restoration of all Yisrael, amein?
 
1Ki 18:30 Then Ěliyahu said to all the people, “Come closer to me.” And all the people came closer to him. And he repaired the altar of יהוה that was broken down.
1Ki 18:31 And Ěliyahu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, to whom the word of יהוה had come, saying, “Yisra’ĕl is your name.”
1Ki 18:32 And with the stones he built an altar in the Name of יהוה. And he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
 
Then Eliyahu poured four jars of water over the offering… over the ‘unseen two seahs of seed’… he did this three times for a total of twelve jars of water poured upon twelve stones!  This is the picture of the washing of the water of His word (seed… water) of His Bride, ALL YISRAEL, as the word goes forth for His two to become one… ‘Yisrael is your name’! 
 
1Ki 18:33 And he arranged the wood, and cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood, and said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”
1Ki 18:34 Then he said, “Do it a second time,” and they did it a second time. And he said, “Do it a third time,” and they did it a third time.
1Ki 18:35 And the water flowed around the altar, and he filled the trench with water too.
1Ki 18:36 And it came to be, at the time of bringing the evening offering (when He gave His life for His Bride), that Ěliyahu the prophet came near and said, “יהוה Elohim of Aḇraham, Yitsḥaq, and Yisra’ĕl, let it be known 
today: You are Elohim in Yisra’ĕl, and I Your servant, have done all these matters by Your word.
1Ki 18:37 “Answer me, O יהוה, answer me, and let this people know that You are יהוה Elohim, and You shall turn their hearts back to You again.”
1Ki 18:38 Then the fire of יהוה fell and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench.
1Ki 18:39 And all the people saw, and fell on their faces, and said, “יהוה, He is the Elohim! יהוה, He is the Elohim!”
 
HAFTARAH – ISAIAH 44
 
Regarding Eliyahu/Elijah and His water being poured upon the ‘hidden two seahs of seed’: “Yisra’ĕl is your name” …And he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed…”,  Read this from the haftarah for today… from Yeshayahu/Isaiah 44!  (The ‘haftarah’ is the portion of Scripture read from the prophets each Shabbat and this is to be read today):
 
Isa 44:1  “But now hear, O Yaʽaqoḇ My servant, and Yisra’ĕl whom I have chosen.
Isa 44:2 Thus said יהוה who made you and formed you from the womb, who helps you, ‘Do not 
fear, O Yaʽaqob
̱ My servant, and Yeshurun1, whom I have chosen. Footnote: 1A poetical title for Yisra’ĕl, meanin
g the Straight One or the Upright One. This poetical title is also found in Dt. 32:15, 33:5 & 33:26.
Isa 44:3 ‘For I pour water on the thirsty, and floods on the dry ground. I pour My Spirit on your seed, and My blessing on your offspring,
Isa 44:4 and they shall spring up among the grass like willows by streams of water.’
Isa 44:5 “One says, ‘I belong to יהוה; another calls himself by the name of Yaʽaqoḇ; another writes with his hand, ‘Unto יהוה,’ and names himself by the name of Yisra’ĕl.
Isa 44:6 “Thus said יהוה, Sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, and his Redeemer, יהוה of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Elohim.
Isa 44:7 ‘And who is like Me? Let him call and declare it, and lay it before Me, since I appointed the everlasting people. And the events that are coming and those that do come, let them declare these to them.
Isa 44:8 ‘Do not fear, nor be afraid. Have I not since made you hear, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there an Eloah besides Me? There is no other Rock, I know not one.’ ”
 
The provision is in Him, He Who is the ‘First and the Last’, ‘The Rock’!  And He is pouring His Word and His Spirit upon the hidden two seahs of the seed of all Yisrael!
 
He is good!
 
ALL YISRAEL will be saved and come to Him
as an ascending wife consumed by the fire of His love
even as upon the wood of His tree of suffering! 
 
All is being accomplished in and through Him,
our Bridegroom.
 
1Ki 18:24 “And you shall call on the name of your mighty one, and I, I call on the Name of יהוה. And the Elohim 
who answers by fire, He is Elohim.” So all the people answered and said, “The word is good.”
 
The Elohim who answers by fire, He is Elohim! 
And He is coming to answer us by the fire of His all consuming love. 
 
Sh’ma Yisrael!
 
TWO FIRES
 
As you may recall, on 9/10/2001, the day before the infamous 9/11, while praying, He took us to NYC by His Spirit and I saw a pit with an iron/lead covering.  A woman opened the pit and out came fire!  I saw buildings on fire in NYC.  Then He said, ‘Pray My word like fire hoses!’ and we obeyed, including praying Psalm 2 as He led.  He showed me NYC firefighters dousing the fires in the skyrises.  The next day this came to pass and many lives were spared.  He is faithful.
 
But then He showed me the following Scripture:
 
Zec 5:5 And the messenger who was speaking with me came out and said to me, “Lift up your eyes now, and see what this is that is going forth.”
Zec 5:6 And I said, “What is it?” And he said, “It is an ĕphah-measure that is going forth.” Again he said, “This is their appearance throughout the earth:
Zec 5:7 “And see, a lead cover lifted up, and this: a woman sitting inside the ĕphah-measure!”
Zec 5:8 And he said, “This is Wrongness!” And he threw her down into the ĕphah-measure, and threw the lead weight over its mouth.
Zec 5:9 And I lifted up my eyes, and looked and saw two women, coming with the wind in their wings. And they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ĕphah-measure between earth and the heavens.
Zec 5:10 Then I said to the messenger who was speaking to me, “Where are they taking the ĕphah-measure?”
Zec 5:11 And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinʽar. And it shall be established and set there on its own base.”
 
I will not teach and elaborate on more fullness of these prophetic Scriptures at this juncture, but to say this.  The end of this age will also involve two houses:  one on His temple mount in Yerushalayim (which will be temporarily occupied by the anti-messiah), eventually being transformed by the descending Yerushalayim Above, and the other one built in ‘the land of Shinar’… Babylon.  (Watch what is developing in Babylon in Iraq… there is much building going on there right now.)  At the end of this report, you will read Scriptures from Revelation 19.  See juxtaposed the destruction of the one house ‘Babylon’ and the bringing in of His House ‘Yerushalayim’.  It is time to choose. 
 
However, what needs to be emphasized here is that He showed me all those years ago that the word for ‘woman’ that was sitting inside the epah-measure under the lead cover, when the vowel is slightly changed can also mean fire!  This is the ‘other side of the coin’ from what is shared above.  This is being consumed by the enemy!
 
The fire of the enemy is coming up from below… from the pit of destruction. 
 
But the fire of His love is coming to consume His bride and take us up!
 
We can be consumed by His fire of love or be consumed by the fire of the pit.  These are the two choices and the two fires, even as He has shown us beginning in His Torah that He lays before us the path of life and the path of death… and He appeals to us with His big heart to choose life.
 

 
“And Ěliyahu came to all the people, and said,
 
‘How long would you keep hopping between two opinions?
 
If יהוה is Elohim, follow Him;
 
and if Baʽal, follow him.’
 
But the people answered him not a word.”
 
1 Melakim/Kings 18:21
 
‘Fire’ and ‘Wife’ can be interchangeable Hebrew words depending on the vowel application (action), because we can be ‘married to Him and His consuming fire of love and jealousy’ or joined with the destroyer…
 
… It is time to choose.
 
Let us not remain silent, but answer Him as
He answers us by the fire of His all consuming LOVE!
 

 
3. ‘Am I My Brother’s Keeper?’ – Isidor Zwirn
 
Also attached is an offering from Rabbi Isidor Zwirn, entitled ‘Am I My Brother’s Keeper?’  Powerful, little book from this brother who came to know Yeshua and understood the two houses of all Yisrael.  Some deep, good insights… much confirmation. 
 
Isidor Zwirn has passed over to Him.  He became a believer in Yeshua Messiah and also understood about Ephrayim and Yehudah.  Understanding about the Bridegroom and His Bride, bringing us more into our identity, will also help us in these final days and hours before He draws us unto Himself in the final consummation.  Our identity being restored and established will help keep us in the narrow way of His word, His ways… His linen.
 
We have His Spirit in us, and so I send this to you in the hope that you can filter by His Spirit anything that you do not agree with, amein?  But it is time to glean from this brother… some ‘good stuff’ as my Welsh brother Derryl would say J
 
Elohim woke me up one morning years ago saying, ‘Isaiah 42’ and he discusses this among other things.
Will make excellent Yeshua Yeshiva material during Shabbat as we come under the tallit of our Rabboni Yehoshua.
 
Remember, you have His Spirit of Truth in you and you can filter if there are things you do not agree with.  But there are some real gems in here and pearls…
 
Our identity as to who the Bride is, is being restored:
 
1Ki 18:30 Then Ěliyahu said to all the people, “Come closer to me.” And all the people came closer to him. And he repaired the altar of יהוה that was broken down.
1Ki 18:31 And Ěliyahu took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, to whom the word of יהוה had come, saying, “Yisra’ĕl is your name.”
 
Rev 21:2 And I, Yoḥanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:9 And one of the seven messengers who held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I shall show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the set-apart Yerushalayim, descending out of the heaven from Elohim,
Rev 21:11 having the esteem of Elohim, and her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal,
Rev 21:12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl”
 
 
In conclusion, the 3 Things for Shabbat:
 
1.     The Fire of His Love is coming during this ‘end of the age’ time of preparation.  Read and study Shir haShirim and consider purchasing the ‘Fire of Love’ cd and worship Him with the words of Shir haShirim pouring over you as water and tears from Him Who is the living Word of YHWH.  Do not get bogged down with ‘churchy’ references… let us walk in maturity.  The anointing upon His most set-apart word of the Song of the Bridegroom to the Bride is intense!  Let Him come and consume you with His love in preparation for what is coming on the earth.  Two other recommended teachings to help us as ‘the Bride is making herself ready’ from One Stick are: 1) the Shir haShirim series and 2) ‘In the time of Fire’.  Simply go to www.onestickministries.com to order these, clicking on ‘Resources’.
2.     Go to the Ardelle Brody Torah parashah link above and eat upon His word there… it is a ‘green pasture’.  Let this insight and understanding of the ‘fire of the Bridegroom to the Bride’ take deep root.  Read what He has given me above again concerning this and the visions He has given… He is now bringing insight and understanding to His Bride!  It is time to choose this day…
3.     Read Isidor Zwirn’s commentary on Yehudah and Ephrayim.  This is from an Orthdox Rabbi.  Hear the truth of the Bride coming together as one… echad.  Beloved, this truth of the identity of His Bride needs to be heard, seen, and understood.  Even as in the ‘Fire of Love’ cd, you have His Ruach HaKodesh, His Set-apart Spirit, to filter out anything that is not of Him.  Receive of this ‘offering’ from our brother Isidor Zwirn… glean like Ruth in the field of Boaz.
 
Have a blessed rest of Shabbat as the Seventh Day of Mashiach approaches…
 
‘All things are ready’…
 
The question remains…
 
Are we?
 
In His shalom,
Constance
 

 
“How long would you keep hopping between two opinions?
If יהוה is Elohim, follow Him; and if Baʽal, follow him.”
 
1 Melakim/Kings 18:21
 
“And after this I heard a loud voice of a great crowd in the heaven, saying, ‘Halleluyah! Deliverance and esteem and respect and power to יהוה our Elohim!  Because 
true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great whore who 
corrupted the earth with her whoring. And He has avenged on her the blood of His 
servants shed by her.’  And a second time they said, ‘Halleluyah! And her smoke rises 
up forever and ever!’  And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell
 down and worshipped Elohim who sat on the throne, saying, ‘Amĕn! Halleluyah!’
 
And a voice came from the throne, saying, ‘Praise our Elohim, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!’ And I heard as the voice of a great crowd, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunders, saying, ‘Halleluyah, for יהוה Ěl Shaddai reigns!  Let us be glad and rejoice and give 
Him praise, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife prepared herself.’
 
And to her it was given to be dressed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteousnesses of the set-apart ones.  And he said to me, ‘Write, ‘Blessed are those who have been called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’  And he said to me, ‘These are the true words of Elohim.’
 
And I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, ‘See, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of יהושע. Worship Elohim!
 
For the witness of יהושע is the spirit of prophecy.’
 
And I saw the heaven opened, and there was a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Trustworthy and True, and in righteousness He judges and fights.  And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, having a Name that had been written, which no one had perceived except Himself – and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood –
 
and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה.
 
And the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.  And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations. And He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Ěl Shaddai.  
 
And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written:
 
SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS AND MASTER OF MASTERS.”
 
Revelation 19:1-16
