o Isaiah 55:1 | An Invitation to Abundant Life

Last week we looked at the creation of the ideal Prophet as well as all the
meanings that come from the word Beresheet, showing the Plan of YHVH from
the beginning of time. This week we continue our focus on the Book of the
Prophets in relation to the theme of Noah and the Judgement of YHVH upon the
earth in the last days and at the end.

The Barren Woman & The Days of Noah


Isa 54:1-10 Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who
has a husband, says YHVH.
Barren is the word aqar that comes from the root
word aqar, which means to be uprooted or plugged up.
This relates to when Simeon and Levi, Dinahs Brothers,
took Vengeance on Shechem. This word is first found in
Scripture in Gen 49:6 when Jacob spoke prophetic words
over his 12 sons before he died and these words would
befall them in the last days (Gen 49:1-33). The section that
relates to the word aqar is when Jacob addressed Simeon and Levi, saying
that they had instruments of cruelty in their midst.

He said that out of anger they had killed a man and through their selfishness,
they had dug down (aqar) a wall. Putting these thoughts together gives us the
picture of Israel (Woman / Bride) becoming barren, as a result of the prophetic
words of Jacob spoken over two of his sons, because their selfishness caused
the wall to be uprooted.
Q What does a wall have to do with the Woman becoming barren?
The context of this story is found in Gen 34 where Simeon and Levi, Dinahs
Brothers, took Vengeance on Shechem, the son of the leader of the Hivites, who
raped and defiled Dinah, Jacobs daughter. Dinah was born to Leah after Leah
has given birth to six sons. Therefore she would have been the 7th child, and 7
years of age, when Jacob and his family returned to Canaan (Promised Land).
Do you see the repeating of the number 7 about the returning to the Promised
Land?
Dinah comes from the root word "den" .....
which means condemnation, dispute and judgement
and relates to the river Jordan, that means river of
judgement. She was the daughter of Jacob by Leah,
full sister of Simeon and Levi.
Wall is the word showr meaning ox, bull, head
of cattle (used for ploughing or sacrifice), as well as
wall. This actually means that the anger of Simeon
and Levi caused the uprooting or sacrifice of an ox,
not a wall. Showr is first found in Scripture in Gen
32:5 when the messengers of Jacob went before him
to meet up with Esau, offering him oxen (showr),
asses, flocks, and servants as a peace offering. They reported to Jacob that
Esau was with 400 men, (401 = Aleph-Tav), at the time known as Jacobs
trouble (Great Tribulation). Yshua is in our midst no matter what we go
through.
Prophetic Application: These ideas confirm the timeframe of the Barren
Woman, as the time of Dinah (judgment). This relates to the 7 years after
the Israelites had returned to the Promised Land, and is associated with
Jacobs Trouble and the Great Tribulation. The sins of the Fathers
(Simeon and Levi) resulted in the need of a sacrifice (showr), which had to
be unrooted (killed), causing the barrenness of the Woman (Israel
Jacobs 12 sons and their descendants). So to be barren means to be in a
fallen state, which means you need a sacrifice to cover your barrenness
or shortcomings, the lack of ability to reproduce after your kind (initial
sinless state YHVHs Kind/likeness).
Q - What were the sins of the Fathers?
Anger and selfishness. We can relate this to the larger picture, by going back to
the Garden of Eden where the Serpent (Shechem) defiled the Woman
(Eve/Dinah) and caused humanity to become barren (fallen state). The cause
for this sin was the love of self, and that sin is still alive and well today. The
solution to the problem was the Sacrifice and the death (killing of a Man),
Who was Yshua. (As revealed by Gen 49 Simeon and Levis sins).

www.hasophim.com 2
Eve is associated with the other woman, the daughter who was defiled by
Shechem. The two women overlayed with one another reveal that the
defilement caused the barrenness and the need for a Sacrifice.
Isa 54 goes on to say that the Woman who is desolate will have more children
than the one with a Husband. This means that the Barren Woman and the
desolate Woman is the same and that she has the potential to bear children
after Her barrenness has been reversed. This reveals that YHVHs re-creation
process will take away any shortcoming and inability to produce life after His
kind. The Husband mentioned here is compared to Shechem, who defiled Dinah
which resulted in Her barrenness, in the first place.
Shechem means shoulder or back as well as to rise early (morning),
which is the meaning of its verbal root. Shechem was the son of Hamor (dirt),
the Hivite (wickedness), the prince of the City called Shalem , which
means peace.
Q How can the evil son of a dirty father and a wicked nation, be called the
Prince of Peace?
Shechem is the picture of the counterfeit Prince of Peace, the Anti-Messiah.
He is the Husband of the Barren Woman or the reason why she is barren.
Isa 54:1-10 Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child;
burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who
has a husband, says YHVH.
Q - The Barren Woman needs to sing, what is that all about?
Sing is the word ranan , meaning to creak (or emit a hard and loud sound),
i.e. to shout (usually for joy):aloud cry for joy, cry out, be joyful, rejoice, (cause
to) sing (aloud, for joy, out), triumph.
This word is first used in Scripture in Lev 9:24 where fire came down on the 8th
day, after the seven days of consecration of the Priesthood, where they had to
stay in the Tabernacle for 7 days.
Q Does this sound familiar?
This relates to the Feast of Sukkot where YHVH ask the people of Israel (grafted
in ones as well), to live in Sukkas or Tents for 7 days, and on the 8th day is the
great day of the Feast when the Torah is turned back in the eyes of Israel.
This implies that the Feast of Sukkot is associated with the Consecration of the
Priesthood (Royal Priesthood under Yshua the High Priest), and on the 8 th day
the Fire came down and lit the Altar in a spectacular way. Then the people Sang
(ranan) with joy, and the Barren Woman became fertile again.
As we learned previously, the Barren Woman becomes fruitless (fallen state)
because of Shechem (Anti-Messiah). Those who do not keep the Feast of
Sukkot as Believers in Messiah, will follow the wrong Prince of Peace (false
peace white horse with white garment and bow Rev 6:1-2). Those following
the False Prince will not be consecrated as Yshuas Royal Priesthood and will
not receive the Fire Anointing of His Holy Spirit (Shin s).

www.hasophim.com 3
The singing is a result of their consecration and anointing, not the other way
round where people think is they sing, the anointing will come. It is when you
OBEY, observing the Moedim, in this case, Sukkot, that the real fire and
anointing of YHVH will come and anoint the Woman to bear many children
bring nations into the Kingdom.

The Function of the Sukkah Ohel - Tent


Isa 54:2-6 Enlarge the place of
your tent, stretch your tent
curtains wide, do not hold back;
lengthen your cords, strengthen
your stakes. 3 For you will spread
out to the right and to the left;
your descendants will dispossess
nations and settle in their desolate
cities. 4 Do not be afraid; you will
not be put to shame. Do not fear
disgrace; you will not be
humiliated. You will forget the
shame of your youth and
remember no more the reproach
of your widowhood. 5 For your Maker is your husband YHVH Tsevaot
is His Namethe Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the
Elohim of all the earth.
The Feast of Sukkot is also linked to the time the Israelites travelled through the
Wilderness, and entered the Promised Land after 7 years. The number 7 is
repeated as with Dinah, who was 7 years old This relates to the 7 Year
Tribulation and the 3 year Great Tribulation as stated in Matt 24. This is the
time the Woman will have many children, enlarging the place of Her tent,
lengthening its cords and strengthening its stakes. Tent is the word Sukkah as
well as Ohel
which is made up of the Name El the short form for
Elohim, with a Hey inserted. This Tent is the spiritual representation of the
physical tent, Sukkah, and houses the presence of Elohim (Name of
Righteousness Yshua) as well as the Spirit of Truth (Hey). Those who come
into the Sukkah during this 7 year period will enter in to meet Elohim Yshua
as well as His Spirit of Truth, experiencing the fullness of Ohel, which is the
presence of the Son and the Spirit of YHVH.
Sing is the word ranan ,
which consists of a resh ( Head / Leader /
Shepherd / Messiah), a nun , which means fruitfulness, another nun , which
means fruitfulness, or double fruit. From our previous study we learned the
Body of Messiah consists of three groups, Ephraim, Manasseh and, Benyamin.
Ephraim was the perfect picture of what the Bride of Messiah looks like,
Manasseh was the one still struggling with the past, with sin and love for the
world, and Benyamin represents the Sons of Belial, the ones who promote
lawlessness (No Torah).

www.hasophim.com 4
The purpose of Ephraim (Believers in Messiah observing (shamar) Torah and
the Feasts), are the ones who are consecrated as Yshuas Royal Priesthood,
and restored as the Bride. No longer barren and married to Shechem (Anti-
Prince), they are like the Woman bringing in many offspring during this seven-
year period.

Q Who are the offspring of the restored fertile Woman?

Nun means fruitfulness, but it also means fish. The Disciples were fishers of
men, and the fish is symbolic of the gare rg, the gentiles and the nations. Isa
54:2 says to expand the tent and open it up because of the number of offspring
that will come from Her, who once was barren, but now bears children (newborn
again believers), and brings them into the Ohel to meet Yshua (El) and
receive His hey (revealed truth).
Sing or ranan
has the gematria of 300 that is the number of the letter
Shin s, which means fire. This links perfectly with the Consecration of the
Priesthood on day 8, when the FIRE came down from heaven and lit the Altar
causing the people to ranan sing and rejoice. The numbers 300, 30 and 3 all
mean Covenant, the Covenant YHVH made with Abraham so that ALL the
families of the Earth could be blessed (come into His Household). The other
words that add up to 300 are:

aw-rale - meaning uncircumcised. This points to the nations


and the gare, sojourners and Gentiles, the uncircumcised people who
can now come into the Household (Sukah / Ohel) of YHVH through the
Work of Messiah Yshua. The Tent is enlarged so that they can also
come in through the Woman who has been made fertile again (Bride of
Messiah / Consecrated Priesthood).
yaw-tsar - meaning to mold into a form by a potter. It also
means framing, to shape, to form, to create for a purpose. This shows
that the Ohel during the time of the Greater Sukkot (7 year period of
Tribulation), is when the people who come in will be molded and formed
by El through His Hey (Revealed Truth). You will see the Resh ,
representing Messiah, and the Yod , representing the hand of the
potter doing the work to attain the result, either side of the word,
tsadik in the middle, which means righteousness.
yaw-tsar - meaning to be narrow, to be straightened, distress.
From this meaning, we see how YHVH will take the people through trials
so that they will be straightened, and aligned with His Word.
yaw-tsoor - meaning members of a body. This word reveals how
the newcomers will come in and be part of the Body of Messiah (ty as
discussed last week).

www.hasophim.com 5
mo-sawr - meaning correction, discipline. The new believers
coming in through Ephraim (double fruit) will need to be taught
regarding the House rules ( mem Word / Commandments) and
disciplined to ensure they follow the Ways of the Shepherd ( resh).
The outcome or result of this is found in the meaning of the middle letter
samekh , which means support. Support is associated with FAITH
where Mosess arms were held up by Aaron and Hur during the battle
with Amalek (the flesh).
kaw-phar - meaning village. This confirms the idea of a
collective group of like-minded people following YHVH within a
community. What is interesting is the the word yaw-tsar and kaw-
phar both have the Resh on the left and a hand on the right since
kaf means hand as well. This is a larger hand symbolizing the
collective hand made up of all the believers in this Community or
Fellowship. The middle of this word has a pey meaning mouth and
places emphasis on your words and how that can affect relationships
within the Community.
ko-pher - meaning price of a life. This points back to the Work
of Messiah Yshua on the Stake where He paid with His life and shows
how we should serve one another and lay down our lives for one
another that is true unity (Echad).
kip-poor - meaning atonement. The purpose of rejoicing is the
fact that we are covered by the Blood of the Sacrifice Yshua made for
the people so they can come together, rejoicing before Him. Kip-poor
also means to cover and that shows us that YHVH will protect us and
cover us during this time of the Greater Sukkot until He will gather His
Bride.
mak-mawr - meaning net. We have learned from the word
ranan (rejoicing), that it is about the double nun representing a
major harvest of fish caught in the nets under the leadership of the
Shepherd . Yshua called fishermen to become His Disciples for this
very reason, to become fishers of men, casting out the nets all over
the world, in every nation (sea), so that the fish (nuns) can be caught
and placed into the Boat (Salvation Noahs Ark). The two letters on the
far left and right guide the process [Yshua ( resh) and Word
(mem)]. The two letters on the inside are the goal or means to cast out
the nets, and that is done by the hands of the Disciples of Yshua
(kaf), and using His Word (message of the Gospel) mem.

The Wickedness of Mankind YHVH Repented
Gen 6:6-7 And YHVH repented that He had made man on the
earth, and He was angry to His heart. (7) And YHVH said, I will
destroy man whom I have created, from the face of the earth, both
man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air. For
I repent that I have made them.

Q Why did YHVH repent? Did He have any sin to repent from?

Repented is the Hebrew word nacham ,xn meaning to sigh, breathe


strongly; (by implication to be sorry), to pity, to take revenge, repent.
YHVH repented that He made man and He wanted to take vengeance and
destroy (judge) man to remove the evil from His creation.

Hebrew Word Picture: Nacham (Repented),xn ends with the mem ,


that means water, which reveals that the judgment will be by water. What is
even more fascinating, is when you remove the mem , or water, you are
left with the two letters nun chet xn that spells Noach or Noah. Noach xn
means rest and comfort during this time of judgment by water , mem.

Another fascinating aspect of Noahs name is when you read it from left to
right Noach xn. Re-ordering the letters to chet-nun, makes the word
"chen ]x, which means grace. YHVH releases His grace to His people
during the time of judgement.

Spiritual Insight: Mem m means water and has two distinct meanings; one
is a cleansing agent and the other is a means to judge and destroy. His word
is the medium that will be used to judge and represents the standard by
which YHVH will judge the world. Secondly, mem represents the cleansing
agent, the water of the Word by which believers must cleanse and prepare
themselves. This is the grave that is given to mankind so they can enter into
His rest (noach) during the time of judgment.

The Door of Judgement & the Flood


Isa 54:1-10 Sing, barren woman, you
who never bore a child;
burst into song,
The word sing is associated with the
Consecration of the Priesthood, as we have seen
before, this word is first used in Scripture in Lev
9:24, talking about Aaron and his sons who
camped at the Tabernacle (Tent of Meeting) for
seven days.

www.hasophim.com 7
Lev 8:35 Therefore shall you abide at the door of the Tabernacle of the
congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of YHVH,
that you will not die: for so I am commanded.

Door is the word petach , which


comes from the root word patach,
meaning to open wide, plough, carve,
break forth, engrave, let go, flee.
Patach is first used in Scripture in Gen
7:11 within the context of the Judgement
of YHVH through the flood. The
fountains of the deep opened up wide
(patach) and caused the waters to cover
the earth, while it rained for 40 days and
40 nights. It is fascinating to see how Isa
54 connects with Gen 7, linking the
Barren Woman who became fertile is in the context of the Flood, in the days of
Noah, which is connected to the End Time Judgement and the coming of the
Son of Man (Matt 24:37). Yshua is the Way that leads to the Father, but Here
we see that He is the Door, which is associated with Judgement. This gives a
new meaning and understanding of what it means when we refer to Yshua as
the Door.
When this happened, Noah was 600 years old and they entered the Ark on the
7th day of the 2nd Month, the Month after
Passover within a typical Feast Cycle. This
implies that the people who observe the
Passover are like Noah and his family (8 souls),
who entered through the Door of the Ark
(Lamb/Y'shua) to avoid the Door of
Judgement opening upon the Earth.

Putting it All Together


All these stories and thoughts link with Isa 54,
the Barren Woman, Dinah, the Defiled Woman,
the Priesthood and the Body of Messiah,
depicting the Bride, and lastly the context of the
End Time judgement. All of these thoughts that
connect with each other can be placed upon a
Menorah Pattern that tells its own story. In the
Middle we find the Consecration of the
Priesthood and the Fire of YHVH coming down from Heaven, after spending 7
days in a Tent, which relates to Sukkot. The number 7 is found multiple times,
especially with Dinah, entering the Promised Land after 7 years and how Her
defilement points to the false Prince of Peace, deceiving the Bride to be. All of
these themes and symbolisms are relevant to us living in the Last Generation,
that is associated with Pisces (two fish double nun double fruit), which
relates to Ephraim, representing the purest form of the Bride of Messiah.
