The Prophetic Implications of Yeshua Being a Carpenter

carpenter-20890556

Hebrews 3:3, He who built the house. Yeshua is the builder of his spiritual house—the church. Interestingly, his earthly father trained him to be a carpenter. Often the physical or natural and spiritual dimensions parallel each other.

The idea of Yeshua being the Creator  of all things including humanity (Heb 1:10; John 1:3, 10) and being the builder of his spiritual house provides us with an important truth. How is it that the death of Yeshua—one human—could pay for the sins of the whole earth—many humans? Simply this. Yeshua in his pre-incarnate state as the Word of Elohim created all humans. His life is more valuable than the lives of all those he created, since he is the Creator, even as life of the builder of a house has more value than all the houses he builds. This is why Yeshua could pay for the sins of the whole world, and why his life was more valuable than those of all the humans that have ever lived in the history of the world.

  1. This is so right on! Thanks!

    One other small note, the house that Yeshua builds (the House of God, Bethel in Hebrew) is so Yeshua (husband) and his church (bride) can dwell together.

    • This is the Jewish wedding analogy, that is so aptly described at the end of this age in the New Testament.

    • The mansion that Yeshua is building for his bride is the New Jerusalem that is coming down from heaven to this earth. Our heavenly mansion is from heaven, and we will be living in it on a recreated earth—not in heaven as many in the church falsely teach.

      • I know and agree!

        It will be the kingdom of heaven on earth,

        as Yeshua taught His discples to pray “…thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.

        A return to the Garden of Eden, as it is said, the end is the beginning. And so, the redemption from the Fall will be complete!

      • In many ways, the whole Bible (both OT and NT) is a story of a rightful King (YHVH) who created and reigned on Earth as well as all of Creation, that Man dethroned (by His Fall) in Eden, and YHVH’s plan to regain His rightful throne on earth by dwelling with His chosen people (redemption).

        The OT is the promise of redemption (gospel through Messiah) and the NT is the fulfillment of the promise (1st coming-Messiah comes). When He comes again (2nd coming), He will establish His Kingdom on earth as it was in Eden.

        That is what I think.

      • Re: return to Eden (at end of current age) and assertion that the end is the beginning.

        Ecclesiastes 3:15 – “…..what will be has been before..” !!
