In
the book of Numbers (15:38 & 39) and Deuteronomy
(22:12) the command is given for all male members of
Israel to wear a garment which has tassels, or strings on
the corners. This ''garment'' woven without seam
we have found by studying Judaism reveals a multitude of
facets of revelation about God, His unpronounceable name,
even who He is. This ''covering'', this
''garment'' we have found can be linked or tied
into the ''covering(s)'' that were brought by God
for Adam and Eve in the Genesis account, when sin entered
the Garden. This covering then seems to be the
representation as found in the first covering of the
Tabernacle in Exodus chapter 26 verse one and on. From
all this we became extremely interested in the meanings
and root meanings of ''Talit'', which is whatthis
garment is called. From a very old Encyclopedia Judaica
we found that the word ''Talit'' comes from a
word meaning ''lamb'', Hebrew dictionaries will
confirm this. Because the Talit is used as a
''covering'' the transliteration of Talit should
be . ''the Covering of the Lamb''. Is this then
the intended meaning as represented in the
''covering'' given to Adam and Eve, the first
covering as given for the Tabernacle and as commanded to
be worn by male members of Israel? We think so!
The
description in Exodus 26:1 of the first
''covering'' of the Tabernacle in the wilderness
was white linen with stripes with the ''string''
or rope tie downs, which fits a description of a very
large ''Talit'', the first required covering of
God, the ''covering of the Lamb''! We found that
to tie the strings called Tzit-Tzit, on a Talit, four
strings are used. Three of the strings are long and one
is short, i.e. ''One in Three'' or ''Three in
One''. Sound familiar? The four strings are then put
through a hole in the corner of the Talit ... this is
done for each corner. With the hole representing an
unbroken circle or eternity the ''One in Three, Three
in One'' is then declared to be the same on both
sides of Eternity! The four strings then put together
become ''eight'', which is the number of Messiah!
From this we can take on a new look at the story in Mark
Chapter five. The woman touching the ''Hem'' was
touching the Tzit-Tzit (strings tied into knots), which
would have been a symbolic appeal to the Messiah who is
the ''Three in One''. She was instantly made
whole! But by the Law, as given to Moses, being touched
by a woman who had an issue if blood made the Rabbi
called Jesus ''unclean''. The interesting facet
is this was the very requirement needed to be able to
enter where the young girl lay dead. By the Law if a
person knowingly chooses to enter where a body lay dead
then that person could be stoned to death but if the
person were already ''unclean'', not by choice,
then there is complete freedom to enter without the risk
of stoning! He fulfilled the Law! But now a second
''problem'' occurs. As an ''unclean''
Rabbi, (which explains why those around Jesus, or Yeshua
in Hebrew, ridiculed Him so strongly), He can do nothing
but we know the text tells the ''rest of the
story''! But we were suspicious! We suspicioned that
because Jewish Scribes copied texts without spaces
between words a translational error was made. The text
reads as printed in Mark 5: 41, ''Talitha,
cumi'', but we came to the conclusion that it should
read, ''Talit Ha Cumi''! (We have had a number of
scholars who now agree with us!) This would then be
translated as, ''Little girl covered by the Talit,
arise!'' From other issues of the Biblical culture
Jesus would have had to have taken His own Talit off and
covered the girl with it, symbolically covering her with
Himself as the Lamb of God! We shared with a scholar, Dr.
Doug Wheeler, that we had found there was a mixing of the
masculine and feminine in the same sentence, i.e.
''Talit Ha Cumi''. Dr. Wheeler conferred with
others and a further dimension arose! Because of the
mixing of the masculine and feminine, with active
personal application the phrase ''Talit Ha Cumi''
now explains why in verse 43 it reads, ''But He
commanded them strictly that no one should know it.''
What was commanded that ''it'' should not be
shared publicly? Surely it was not the fact that the girl
arose because as soon as she is seen everyone would know!
No, what was commanded ''to not be told''
revolves around the command ''Talit Ha.'', which
because of the personal application can be translated,
''I as the Lamb of God, God in the Flesh''
''command you, little girl to arise!'' Jesus then
commanded them not to publicly disclose that as God in
the Flesh He spoke, verse 43! This is awesome and is
quite timely as it helps reveal the Deity of Christ when
so many are denying it! Food for thought! Thank you Doug
Wheeler and others for your part in this revelation!
Until next time,
In Christ Jesus, --Gary and Debra Collett
