Psalms 22


2. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my moaning. ב. אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי רָחוֹק מִישׁוּעָתִי דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי:
3. My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. ג. אֱלֹהַי אֶקְרָא יוֹמָם וְלֹא תַעֲנֶה וְלַיְלָה וְלֹא דוּמִיָּה לִי:

7. But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. ז. וְאָנֹכִי תוֹלַעַת וְלֹא אִישׁ חֶרְפַּת אָדָם וּבְזוּי עָם:
8. All who see me will mock me; they will open their lips, they will shake their head. ח. כָּל רֹאַי יַלְעִגוּ לִי יַפְטִירוּ בְשָׂפָה יָנִיעוּ רֹאשׁ:
9. One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. ט. גֹּל אֶל יְהֹוָה יְפַלְּטֵהוּ יַצִּילֵהוּ כִּי חָפֵץ בּוֹ:
10. For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. י. כִּי אַתָּה גֹחִי מִבָּטֶן מַבְטִיחִי עַל שְׁדֵי אִמִּי:
11. Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. יא. עָלֶיךָ הָשְׁלַכְתִּי מֵרָחֶם מִבֶּטֶן אִמִּי אֵלִי אָתָּה:
12. Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. יב. אַל תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי כִּי צָרָה קְרוֹבָה כִּי אֵין עוֹזֵר:
13. Great bulls have surrounded me; the mighty ones of Bashan encompassed me. יג. סְבָבוּנִי פָּרִים רַבִּים אַבִּירֵי בָשָׁן כִּתְּרוּנִי:
14. They opened their mouth against me [like] a tearing, roaring lion. יד. פָּצוּ עָלַי פִּיהֶם אַרְיֵה טֹרֵף וְשֹׁאֵג:
15. I was spilled like water, and all my bones were separated; my heart was like wax, melting within my innards. טו. כַּמַּיִם נִשְׁפַּכְתִּי וְהִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הָיָה לִבִּי כַּדּוֹנָג נָמֵס בְּתוֹךְ מֵעָי:
16. My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. טז. יָבֵשׁ כַּחֶרֶשׂ | כֹּחִי וּלְשׁוֹנִי מֻדְבָּק מַלְקוֹחָי וְלַעֲפַר מָוֶת תִּשְׁפְּתֵנִי:
17. For dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encompassed me, like a lion, my hands and feet. יז. כִּי סְבָבוּנִי כְּלָבִים עֲדַת מְרֵעִים הִקִּיפוּנִי כָּאֲרִי יָדַי וְרַגְלָי:
18. I tell about all my bones. They look and gloat over me. יח. אֲסַפֵּר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָי הֵמָּה יַבִּיטוּ יִרְאוּ בִי:
19. They share my garments among themselves and cast lots for my raiment. יט. יְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדַי לָהֶם וְעַל לְבוּשִׁי יַפִּילוּ גוֹרָל:
20. But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. כ. וְאַתָּה יְהֹוָה אַל תִּרְחָק אֱיָלוּתִי לְעֶזְרָתִי חוּשָׁה:
23. I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. כג. אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלְלֶךָּ:
24. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, honor Him, and fear Him, all the seed of Israel. כד. יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה | הַלְלוּהוּ כָּל זֶרַע יַעֲקֹב כַּבְּדוּהוּ וְגוּרוּ מִמֶּנוּ כָּל זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל:

Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement

The Day of Atonement was the one day every year that the High Priest would go into the Holy, Holy, Holy place. They would say Holy(for outter court or The Way), they would say Holy, Holy(for inner court or the truth), and they would say Holy, holy, holy for the(Holy of Holies or the life). This was why the Religious of the day got so angry with Yeshua. In John 14:6 Yeshua tells them I AM, The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Not only did He call himself the I Am,(who was the One who called to Moses out of the burning bush), which they knew was the Lord; but Yeshua was also calling himself THE Tabernacle. This IS the One who tabernacles or PRESENCES Himself within our hearts today, if we allow Him in. Remember, Holy Spirit is a gentle ONE. There is no forcing or prodding or pushing with Holy Spirit.

Lets look at who carries the PRESENCE. In 2 Samuel 6, King David was bringing the Ark of Covenant, (which represented the PRESENCE), up to Jerusalem. He made a cart, with human hands, set the Ark of the Covenant on the cart, tried to take it to Jerusalem. It did not work, Uzzah ended up dying. Uzzah`s name means, the strength of man dies. Why did he die?

God`s instructions were that the PRESENCE had to be carried by priests, on their shoulders. The shoulders of the ones,(priests), who were wearing priestly garments. The Ones who were called out by God to perform the duties in the physical tabernacle or Temple. Who were not made by human effort or human hands, as the cart was made. Symbolically we wear a Robe of Righteousness today. A spiritual death will come to the one who does not have the PRESENCE carried within them.
God also wants us to know that His PRESENCE could only be carried in the Tabernacle,(Temple, or physical body), within every priest. The PRESENCE is within us. Yeshua said the kingdom of heaven is within you. Saul says don`t you know that your body is the Temple or Tabernacle of Holy Spirit.

As the Day of Atonement approaches let us take a look inside ourselves and see if there is anything besides the PRESENCE of Holy Spirit. Anything that prevents the full, filling of the PRESENCE in our lives.
Yeshua, our Great High Priest, gave His life, of His own surrender, to show THE WAY to the Holy, Holy, Holy place. He placed His blood on the Mercy seat in the heavenlies and made Atonement for the world. The blood is what makes atonement for sin, covers completely and makes perfect or whole.
Lev.17:11 says, For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

Today as priests, we, are the temple of Holy Spirit.

As priests, we, carry the ark of the PRESENCE within us.

As priests, we, wear the Robe of Righteousness today. The Robe is covered by Holy Spirit`s oil. You will recognize it by its slippery texture. It is an ON PURPOSE texture. Nothing can stay attached to you that is not of the PRESENCE, when the oil of the PRESENCE is present.

Holy Spirit anoint each one who reads this today with the PRESENCE.
AMEN
