It was the only light in the holy place. The menorah had seven branches with three on either side of a central stem. Each branch had three decorative cups, a knob and a flower resembling that of an almond flower. The cups were called lamps and each was filled with the purest olive oil and contained a wick that was lit. The menorah was lit each day, and each of the six outer lamps were designed so that when lit its flame pointed toward the central stem. The menorah had tools\u2014tongs and spoons\u2014to tend the wick. These implements were used to clean and to prepare the lamps and to remove the previous day\u2019s ashes.<\/p>\n<p>The menorah is a picture of Yeshua, the Tree of Life, who likened himself to a vine and his followers to branches\u201d (John 15:1\u20137). It also pictures the idea that the saints are members of the body of Yeshua (1\u2009Cor 12:12) and are established in him (2\u2009Cor 1:21). His followers are connected to him, draw sustenance from him, and the spiritual light of their lives point toward him in all that they do. Believers are to be \u201con fire\u201d for doing the work of Yeshua. The Spirit of Elohim directed by the Torah\u2014both pictured by the olive oil\u2014fuels that fire. On the Day of Pentecost, the believers in the upper room received fire of YHVH\u2019s Spirit and had his Torah-law written in their hearts. Through the empowerment of the Spirit\u2014both the fruits and the gifts\u2014the saints were able take the light of the gospel out to the world. The <!--more-->significance of the menorah in the believer\u2019s life is evidenced by the fact that Scripture reveals that it (not the cross) is the actual symbol for assembly of believers in Yeshua (Rev 1:12,20).<\/p>\n<p><b>The Golden Menorah in More Detail<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The menorah represents the tree of life; the oil represents the Spirit of Elohim in the believer\u2019s life. It also represents Yeshua the tree or vine with believers as the branches grafted in to the \u201ctrunk\u201d of the tree or Yeshua and receiving the Spirit of life from him. As a result of Yeshua\u2019s Spirit in the believer\u2019s life the fruits and gifts of the Spirit of Elohim shine like a menorah on a hill into the surrounding darkness of this world. Gold represents the pure (divine) character of Yeshua and the believer, and oil represents the Spirit of Elohim through whose work in the believer\u2019s life that pure gold-like character is formed and refined. Prophetically the menorah points to the Day of Pentecost or Feast of the Harvest of First Fruits (<i>Shavuot<\/i>) when the Spirit of Elohim was poured out upon YHVH\u2019s people and the Torah-law was written on their hearts empowering them to walk in the paths of Torah-light\/righteousness (Ps 119:105, 172) and to share the good news or gospel with others.<\/p>\n<p>It is estimated that the menorah was constructed of 90 pounds of gold, which is 1440 ounces. If gold is $1200 per ounce the menorah would have been worth $1,728,000 in the value of the gold alone, not including the workmanship to construct it.<\/p>\n<p>Some believe that the light of the menorah was reflected to point only forward. It was the only light in the set-apart place. We are to go forward only in our spiritual walk, not backward. Advance spiritually in light, but retreat and you do so in darkness (Ps 119:105).<\/p>\n<p>The almond tree is the first fruit tree that blossoms in the spring in Israel. Yeshua is the firstborn among many brethren. The seven branches of the menorah, which are a picture of Yeshua, corresponds to the seven spirits of YHVH in Isaiah 11:2 and Revelation 4:5.<\/p>\n<p>The wicks of the menorah were made from the priest\u2019s worn out or discarded garments. From this we learn that we can\u2019t discard the work of yesterday\u2019s ministers, for we stand on their shoulders and use what they put into us to light our path spiritually to see what is ahead for us. What are we leaving behind us for the next generation?<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Henry says in his biblical commentary on Exodus 27:20 that the pure oil signifies the gifts and fruits of the Set-Apart Spirit which all believers receive from Messiah (<i>Mashiach<\/i>) who is the oil-anointed One. Mashiach is the vine to which we are attached, for we are the arms and branches (John 15:1\u20132) and the branches are attached to the sustenance-carrying vascular system of the main trunk (as pictured by the hollow-tubed seven-branched gold menorah). The menorah is another picture of Yeshua who is the tree of life to which we must be attached. Only then will we be lights shining the fruits and gifts of the Spirit into the darkness of men\u2019s lives as Yeshua commanded us to be (i.e. menorahs on a hill, Matt 5:14\u201316). That is why the symbol of the elect body of believers is the menorah as we see in Revelation 1:13 and 20.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The Menorah\u2014The Tree of Life and Yeshua',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2019\/02\/06\/the-menorah-2\/',contentID: 'post-14003',suggestTags: 'Tabernacle of Moses,The Menorah',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exodus 25:31\u201339, Menorah of pure gold.
