Our Creator works with an often ignored
remarkable precision, a precision that would be envied by Swiss watchmakers!
Most of the humanity have rejected their Creator, the one whose name is Yehoah and whose title is Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Despite the fact that many people are claiming to be a believer in God, these people ignores completely His words and teaching written in the Bible and they consider themselves able to decide how to behave and which rules to follow without taking any interest in the Bible. This book is considered as an obsolete curiosity without any value to take into account
What bitterness must have our Creator, the author of the Bible, when He sees how one despises His words and His works!
Yet, despite the way humanity is ignoring or neglecting His Lord, Elohim is acting with a science and a precision infinitely superior to those of the most brilliant scientists who have existed. The accuracy of our Creator should, on the contrary, should take our breath away, and it has the specific property that time has no hold on it because it is timeless.
I propose in these pages to discover some aspects of the wonderful precision of our Father that will be illustrated by few examples.
Worthwhile to note that the Bible teaches us that our Father works with a remarkable precision and He is asking the same from His people. This wonderful precision can be seen in many fields such as building, clothing making, cooking recipes, counting people, duration of events and the knowledge of all bodies and stars in the skies while we even do not know anything about the dimensions of the universe!
Perfect constructions according to very precise plans.
Yehoah Elohim shows how much he attributes importance to the dimensions of the constructions he is asking his people to build on earth.
The very first time in the Bible Elohim reveals his requirements for accuracy is in the field of shipbuilding when He gave Noah detailed plans to build the ark that would preserve not only the human race but also all the animal species. This story is found in Genesis 6: 13-22.
This was also true for the tabernacle built in the Sinai desert, and its existence lasted until the time of the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem approximately 500 years later. To refresh your memory about this, please go and read in particular in the book of Exodus, since chapter 25. In these chapters, the very precise dimensions are given both for the canvases that cover the tabernacle and for the columns. which support it and all the furniture it contains. Yehoah also specifies which materials to use (fabrics, type of wood and metals).
For the Temple of Jerusalem, it was somewhat different. In this case, the drawings of the Temple were handed over to King David by Yehoah himself! This document gave the precise description of all that concerns the building of the Temple that was built during the reign of Solomon. If you don’t believe it, please go and read I Chronicles 28: 11-19.
Yehoah Elohim didn’t stop there His creative work. He has already conceived with the same care the new Temple to be built during the Messiah's reign and all its details are disclosed in the book of Ezekiel starting with chapter 40! It contains a complete description, piece by piece, with all the required dimensions. This description is made with a remarkable precision.
And that's not all, in the book of Revelation that is part of the New Covenant texts, our Father lets us catch a glimpse of the main aspects of what is known as the New Jerusalem, this city of a breathtaking beauty. Elohim is indeed still working to build this city that will come down from heaven after the thousand years of Messiah's reign and that will be the home of our Father with His son in the midst of their people on a new earth with new heavens ( Revelation 21).
What about clothing.
Just as he took great care in drawing up plans for His buildings, Elohim also looked in detail at the making of his priests' garments as it is shown in Exodus 28. These garments had to be worn once the body is clean and when the priests will be in the presence of Yehoah. This should serve as a warning if we want to stay among the guests at the Lamb's wedding (Matthew 22: 1-14 and Revelation 19: 9).
Cooking recipes
Let's turn now to the preparation of dishes according to the very precise requirements of our Creator. Here too, for the preparation of breads and cakes as well as for the choice of meats and their cooking, everything should be done with the greatest care as can be read in the first chapters of the book of Leviticus. If they are well prepared, these meals will bring up a good perfume that Yehoah appreciates.
These culinary preparations must always remind us the spiritual symbols behind them. Here for instance, this should prompt us to do good deeds that are so many ways to raise a good spiritual perfume to our Father as Paul is indicating in II Corinthians 2:15, Ephesians 5: 2 and Philippians 4:18).
The census of the populations and the organization of their dwellings.
Here is another example where Yehoah reveals His accuracy: the census of his people, the account of the first-born who were to be replaced by the tribe of Levi, the organization of the camp or the division of the land of Canaan according to the tribes of the Children of Israel.
The count of the Children of Israel after their departure from Egypt was asked by Yehoah to Moses as it is indicated in Numbers chapter 1.Please note that the tribe of Levi is excepted. Indeed, Yehoah appropriated the tribe of Levi as a replacement for all the firstborn of the other tribes of Israel who somehow escaped the last plague in Egypt during which all the first-born in the land were exterminated (Numbers 3). All this is done with a great precision (verses 44 to 51)!
In the same book of Numbers, chapters 2 and 3, it is also possible to read how Yehoah organized the encampments of the tribes of Israel during their stay in the desert.
Before, the entry of the Children of Israel into the land of Canaan, Yehoah informed His people precisely about the boundaries of the land he was giving them and by showing them how to share it by tribes (Numbers 34). It must also be remembered that two and a half tribes had already received their share at the other side of the Jordan river.
The prophecy teaches us that a new sharing will take place at the beginning of the Messianic reign according to Ezekiel, chapters 47 and 48.
The importance of time, month, and number of days in prophecy.
Here is another important area where we can see that our Father is accurate: the measurement of time for the fulfillment of His prophecies. A careful and enlightened reader of the Bible can, thanks to Yehoah’s precise information, understand the course of events sometimes even in advance. This is how the prophet Daniel understood by reading the inspired writings of Jeremiah, his contemporary prophet, that the ruin of Jerusalem and its Temple was to last 70 years, imposed by Yehoah as a punishment for the horrible excesses and criminal acts of the Jewish people, as well as their political and religious leaders. We can even read in Daniel 9 that this revelation is inspiring Daniel to make a confession with such a remarkable humility that at the time of the evening offering, Yehoah sends Gabriel to further enlighten Daniel on future events to come and their precise durations. These prophecies are covering the history of the Jewish people until the end of the reign of the devastator, Satan and the Beast that he will incarnate at the end.
Without going into explanations as I do not know this for sure, let me tell you that Daniel in his chapter 12 is sharing with us information coming from Elohim about several series of numbers of days, 1290 and 1335 days, that a selection among the believers will understand and count very carefully. Note that Daniel did not receive the understanding of this prophecy because it would not have been useful for him.
In chapter 8 of the book of Daniel, here also Yehoah sends a vision to His prophet where He is mentioning very precise duration of two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings during which the perpetual sacrifice, the sanctuary and the army of heaven will be trampled by the Satan the devastator.
This precision of the Creator does not stop with the books of the Old Testament. In the texts of the new covenant, there are also prophecies mentioning specific durations of time, especially for the period during which the beast incarnated by Satan will receive an absolute power over all the earth before the advent of the Savior. This is the case in chapter 13 of the book of Revelation where this duration is defined as 42 months. Pay attention that for Elohim, a month means a lunation of approximately 29 and a half days. We should also keep in our mind the number 666 which should help us identify the name of the Beast.
Another example about the high precision of our Lord is given in Revelation 12 with the duration of 1260 days during which the woman, supposed to be a part of the Church of our Savior, will be nurtured in a place prepared by Elohim to protect her.
A little bit earlier in the book of Revelation, chapter 9 verse 15, it is revealed to us that four angels are also ready to fulfill their mission at very specific hour set by Elohim!
Up to us to verify everything with the same precision as that of our Father.
All the believers have the freedom not to say the duty to verify whether the actions of the servants of Elohim and his family meet this precision.
Remember the story of the miraculous healing of the son of a royal officer mentioned in John 4. What is remarkable in this story is not only the healing of the son of this man but also the verification that he made about it to have the proof that it was indeed Yeshuah who had accomplished this miracle: This officer made sure that the time of his son's healing was precisely the same as the one when Yeshuah told him that his son was healed.
Yeshuah 's disciples also had the opportunity to prove that Yeshuah 's word about his resurrection by his Father would take place after three days and three nights stay in the grave (Matthew 12:40) is true. You can read this in the following series of passages: Matthew 28: 6 and Acts 10:40.
It is now our turn to put eventually an end to our negligence and to follow the examples given for us in the Bible by our Father regarding the pursuit of precision. Let us keep in mind the warning of Paul in Hebrews 4:
" 11Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of Elohim is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. "
Please remember always that Elohim's great precision will also apply to the advent of our Lord Yeshuah , but most of the mankind will not suspect anything when it will happen like it was the case before the Flood!
Let's read that in Matthew 24: 3 and 36-39:
"3 ... Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” ... 36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. "
