Excellent Bride

The Finding Emet radio program is about understanding and living the truth of the Bible from a Hebrew perspective. In this episode, they discuss Proverbs 31 and the concept of an excellent bride. The chapter is traditionally read and sung by husbands to their wives in Judaism. The woman described in Proverbs 31 is seen as the perfect picture of a mother and wife, and it is an ideal to strive for. The Hebrew phrase for this ideal woman is "Eshet Chayil," which means a woman of valor, strength, and excellence. The teaching emphasizes the importance of mothers and the role they play in a family.

The name of the teaching is called An Excellent Bride, An Excellent Bride. Now, when we think of Moms or Mother's Day, when we think of the church, usually on Sunday, the Mother's Day, the tradition is, of course, go to church, get a nice, you know, flower to wear, ladies, or a bookmark. The pastor usually preaches from Proverbs 31, that excellent woman or so, and then everybody gets in their cars and goes out to Outback, or the local steakhouse, and has a good meal. That's how they keep their Sabbath. It is an interesting verse in regards, chapter in regards to Moms and Mother's Day. However, we're going to review Proverbs 31, and this excellent woman, and see some things that you've probably never seen before, never heard before from the pulpit, things that we miss because we don't read and speak and live in Hebraic or Hebrew culture, because these verses are about a virtuous woman, but this teaching is not called An Excellent Woman. This teaching is called what? An Excellent Bride. So, say that with me. An Excellent Bride. Now, we all know that this was written by King Solomon, right, and he was writing this about his wife or his bride. Wrong. All right. In Proverbs 31, we see verse 1, it says, the words of King Lemuel, Melech Lemuel, a message that his ema taught him, a message that his mother taught him. So, who's actually writing here according to the chapter, King Lemuel? The words that his mother taught him. Now, the name Lemuel means belonging to El, belonging to El. Strangely, there is no record of a king in Israel or any surrounding countries by the name of Lemuel. So, who is this strange king? Many believe that this Lemuel is actually Shlomo or Solomon. He used this name to put on there, a pen name, you could say, about the words that his mother had taught him. Who was his mother? Bathsheba. That because of the way he was born, he didn't want to say, this is what my mother taught me. But he used the word Lemuel. It's important to note that this is not the wisdom of any man. This is not the wisdom of any king. But who is it really the wisdom of? A mother. Telling her son, this is what the perfect woman looks like. So, here, the mother's woman is transferred to the son regarding the perfect woman, the ideal woman, the right woman. Now, the rabbis teach us that King Lemuel was Avraham. Avraham. And that these are the words that he wrote about Sarah or Sarai. They were passed down from generation to generation. And this chapter is dedicated to who? To an excellent woman or to a mother. And as I said, it's usually reviewed at churches on Mother's Day. Many, many sermons. Ladies, can you remember the sermons you've heard on Mother's Day about this or so? About childhood? And it's preached on that Mother's Day and never looked at again during the whole year. Is it? I mean, think about it. How often do you hear about Proverbs 31 and this excellent woman or this wonderful mother? You don't hear about it until Mother's Day. Too bad there's not a Father's Day chapter. It would make it a little easier at least for the pastors on that Sunday. However, this is just that Mother's Day sermon. You know where you're going to turn. The pastors know what to do. In Judaism, it's just the opposite. In Judaism, remember Yeshua said in Yochanan, John 4, that salvation is where? Of the Yehudim, of the Jews. And we look to Judaism to see how to live the faith. We know that there are a lot of errors in mainstream Christianity. And we know that there's a lot of errors in mainstream Judaism as well. However, in Judaism, we can see a pattern of biblical faith. And in Judaism, this chapter is reviewed not once a year, but once a week. Every single week, the tradition. Yes, I said the T word. The place gets quiet. The tradition. Tradition is not bad. Traditionalism is bad. Does that make sense? When you exalt your traditions above the word of Yahweh, when you have traditions that are pagan, when you do things just because Grandma's always done them and they have no meaning, they actually have meaning of pagan roots or they grieve the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit, that's traditionalism and that is what Yeshua warned against. But tradition is not bad. There's nothing wrong with flying an American flag on July 4th. That's a good tradition. However, it would be wrong to say if you don't fly your American flag on July 4th, then you're not a citizen, you're not patriotic, you're damned and go into hell. That's called traditionalism. And you can add to that many, many different things. So the tradition in Judaism, friend, is to do this. It's to take this section of Scripture and each week during the traditional welcoming of the Shabbat, when would that be? Erev Shabbat or Friday night, as the sun is going down, the husband places his hands upon his wife's head and he begins to sing this portion of Scripture in Hebrew to her. Indeed, this is the first thing that Orthodox Jews do when they return home from the synagogue as they prepare for the Shabbat meal. Before they eat anything, before they break bread, before they have yayin or wine, before they sing Shabbat Shalom, before they have the challah or light the candles, the husband looks to his wife and says, Thank you. You have prepared a feast for me. You have prepared the Shabbat meal. You have gotten the home ready. We as a family can keep the commandment together all thanks to you. Thank you. Todah. And he begins to sing this. These verses in Hebrew are known as Eshet Chayil. Eshet Chayil. In Hebrew it's Eshet Chayil, the woman. Eshet of valor. Chayil. The woman described in these verses, which is Mishale 31, Proverbs 31, beginning in verse 10 through the end of the chapter, is the perfect picture of a mother. I picked with my mother-in-law and told her I was teaching today on how to be a good mother-in-law. Well, guess what? I actually am. I am teaching on that. However, it's also how to be a good mom. How to be a good wife. It's also how to be a good husband. It's also how to be a good follower of Yeshua. And let me say this. What we're going to read and what we're going to dissect is the ideal picture. This is what Yeshua is looking for in us. This chapter is dedicated to mom. Yet the woman described here, get this, is the spiritual manifestation of the perfect wife, the ideal bride. So if you want to be the best wife, the best mother, the best bride that you could be to your husband, to your fiance, then you would model your life after this. Amen? What's today's teaching called? An excellent bride. An excellent bride. And again, the phrase in Hebrew is Eshet Chayil. Eshet Chayil. Now, the Hebrew word Eshet is Hebrew for wife or woman. The word Ema is the word for mother. Esha is the word for woman. And Esha and Eshet are very similar. Esha is woman. Man is what? Ish. The word Chayil has various connotations throughout the Bible. Here's what it means. Strong's Concordance says it means an organized military. You get that? An organized military of force, strength, valor, excellence, wealth, skills. In the Scriptures, the word Chayil is used and it's translated as bravery in Psalm 76.6. It's translated as capability in Proverbs 12.4. As triumph in Psalm 118.15 and as wealth in Proverbs 13.22. So, Eshet Chayil could literally mean a woman of triumph. A woman of wealth. A woman of valor. A woman of excellence. It could even mean a woman of a strong military background. That's what it means. A woman of valor is a woman of bravery, of capability, of triumph, and of wealth. So, ladies, that's you. Proverbs 18.22 says, He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains chesed or grace or favor from Yahweh. Amen? Amen. Writing in the 14th century, Rabbi Israel Al-Nakawa said this. He said that if a man is fortunate enough to have found a good wife, he will never miss anything. Though he may be poor, he should consider himself rich. A good wife is one who manages her husband's affairs correctly, helps him to do the best of her ability, gives him her honest advice, and does not urge him to spend more than is necessary. She intelligently supervises the needs of the home and the education of their children. She does not act snobbish towards her husband's family, even if she happens to come from a more refined environment. Marriage is not a one-sided affair, he said. The man has obligations as well to the woman. A man should sacrifice his personal needs in order to provide more abundantly for his wife and children. Above all, he should treat his wife with love and sympathy, for she is part of him. Rabbi was pretty wise. Amen. Good ideas. There's an ancient Jewish proverb. Here's what it says. Ancient Jewish proverb says that Yahweh could not be everywhere, so he created mothers. What do you think? You know, there are many great quotes about mom that are out there. I found this. It said, a mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie and five people, promptly announces that she did not care for pie anyway. Isn't that mom? You know, that's great. I mean, that is a great picture of mom. I don't know about you, but when I grew up, my mother's choices of food was two choices. Take it or leave it. I mean, it was pretty clear, you know, as far as that goes. The remarkable thing about living at home with my mother was we would have leftovers every night. For 20 years, we ate leftovers. I don't ever remember the original meal, but we ate leftovers every single night. I don't know how that happened. Abraham Lincoln once said, All that I am, all that I ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. Isn't that nice? Wouldn't you like to hear that, ladies? You could say this. That a mother, that the mothers of teenagers know exactly why some animals eat their young. Isn't that right? I mean, come on. A wise person once said this. That when you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thought. A mother always has to think twice. Once for herself and once for her child. Isn't that true? Very true. So back to Proverbs 31 for some real wisdom here regarding motherhood. That there is a great meaning in this chapter. Far beyond what we've heard in the church. Far beyond what we can even read in the English. But we miss it because of the huge language barrier of English. We understand the Scriptures from a wrong perspective. Because we don't read and write Hebrew and know the culture of the Bible. We misunderstand the Scriptures because we don't know it. The Scriptures were originally written in what? Hebrew. In Hebrew, that's actually Ibrim. It was originally written in the Ibrit language. And Hebrew is called the Lashon Kodesh. The Holy Tongue. The Set-apart Tongue. It was with the Hebrew language that Yahweh said what? Let there be light. And the universe was created with the very Hebrew words that Yahweh spoke. It was with the tongue, the Hebrew tongue, that Abraham offered his son Yitzhak. That Moshe received the ten words, the ten commandments from the mountain. It was with the Hebrew tongue that Dawid or King David, Melech Dawid, penned the Psalms. Hebrew is an amazing language. Amen? There are many teachings on the Emet Ministries website about Hebrew. It's amazing because it resembles hieroglyphics more than it does English. As each letter of the language is full of meaning and symbolism. So in English, an A is an A. That's about it. A Q is a Q. A D is a D. And nothing more. Yet in Hebrew, each letter is assigned a number and a word picture based on ancient scripts. But the Hebrew we have today is not the exact same Hebrew that was passed down to Moshe the ten commandments were written in. That was called Paleo-Hebrew. Yet we can look at today and it's very similar. We can look at words today. We can look at sentences. We can look at words. We can examine each letter and compare how these letters correspond to each other and relate to each other. We can look to the letters that are in a word, add those letters up, and get a number. That's called gematria. And that gives us some meaning there. Proverbs 31, what we read here about the woman of valor, Ishit Chayil, is actually a Hebrew poem. It's actually a Hebrew poem written in the format of an acrostic. So beginning in verse 10, each verse begins with the corresponding letter in the Hebrew alphabet in the regular order. So starting in verse 10, in English it would be like verse 10 starts with an A. Verse 11 would start with a B. Verse 12 would start with a C, then D, then E, then F, then G. It would go along like that. In Hebrew it's Aleph, Bet, Gemel, Daleth, Hey. And it goes exactly like this. This poetic format is very similar to Psalm 119. Tehillim 119 is the longest chapter in the whole Bible, the longest psalm. If you open your Bible right to the middle, you'll find it. And it's all about the Hebrew alphabet and the Torah, the word of Yahweh. Well, this is a shortened version of that. And when we see things like this, these word plays in Hebrew, it tells us to pay more attention to it. Amen? This is King Shlomo. This is Yahweh working through him, or King Lemuel, whoever that was, saying pay attention. Read this, study this, know this. Because this is not, everybody say not. This is not just a description of a great earthly mother. What's this teaching called? An excellent bride. This is not just Eshet Kayil, but this is Kala Kayil. Everybody say Kala Kayil. Kala Kayil, or a bride of valor, a bride of excellence. As a group of believers, we are the bride of Mashiach, the bride of Christ. Amen? We are his bride. Turn with me to Ephesians chapter 5. Ephesians 5, starting in verse 24. Ephesians 5, verse 24. Ephesians 5, verse 24. Therefore, as the Israelite congregation is subject to the Mashiach, the Messiah, so let the wives to their own husbands in everything. Here, the wives are to be subject to their husbands just like the body, the bride, the believers are subject to Yeshua. Verse 25. Husbands, love your wives even as Messiah also loved the Israelite congregation and gave himself for it. Verse 26. That he might set it apart and cleanse it with the washing of the water of the word, the mayim of the word. Verse 27, important. That he might present it to himself. Present what? The body, the bride of Messiah, presented to himself a beautiful Israelite congregation, not having spots or wrinkles or any such thing, that it should be kadosh, holy, set apart and without blame. Like this, men should love their wives even as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as Yeshua cherishes the Israelite congregation. Verse 30. For we are the members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause, shall a man leave his Abba and Emma, his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. In Hebrew, Besar Echad. This is a great mystery. Sod. But I speak concerning the Messiah and his bride, the Israelite congregation. The believers, we are the body of Mashiach. Amen. And we're reminded of this in Yirmeyahu 3.14. Jeremiah 3.14. That Yahweh is married to Israel. He's not married to a church. He's not in a polygamy. He doesn't have the church on one side, and he doesn't have the Israel on the other. Jehovah Witnesses and the Mormons and all these other groups. He has one bride. That is Yisrael. There are 12 gates to the city. Amen. Read Revelation. It's not the Baptist gate, the church gate, the Hindu gate, the atheist gate, the Muslim gate. There are 12 gates, and they are the tribes of Israel. We are the bride. We are Israel. Yirmeyahu 3.14. Make teshuvah. Repent, O backslidden children, says Yahweh. For I am married to you, and I will take you from a city and to from a family and bring you to Jerusalem, to Zion. Not to Rome, not to the Crystal Cathedral, but to Zion. Yahweh is married to Israel. We are the bride of Mashiach. So when we read Proverbs 31 and we read about the excellent woman, we are actually reading about the high calling of each and every individual. Amen? I said, Amen? Amen. Revelation. Turn with me to Gilead. Revelation 19. You know, Revelation and Genesis. They are the two easiest books to find in the Bible. Praise Yahweh for Revelation and Genesis. Revelation 19. Starting in verse 6. Verse 6. And I heard, as if it were the voice of a great multitude, as the voice of many waters, much Mayim, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Hallelu-Yah. Hallelu-Yah. For the Master Yahweh El Shaddai Almighty reigns. Verse 7. Let us be glad and rejoice, Gilead, and give honor to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has, what? Made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white. And for the fine linen is the Zedekiah, the righteousness of the Israelite saints, Kedushim. And he said to me, Write, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the eminent sayings of Yahweh. We are the bride of Mashiach. We are to make ourselves ready. It says we are to have fine linen of Zedekiah, of righteousness, clean and white. And it says here, Blessed are they who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Let me tell you, we've been called, we've been set aside to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And you've got the best seat because you're not the best man. You hear me? You're not the maid of honor. You and I are the bride. We are Israel. We overcome, as it says in Revelation. This is the endurance of the saints, those who have the testimony of Yeshua and keep the commandments. Revelation 14, 12. That is us. We are the bride of Mashiach. So this chapter about the excellent perfect bride in Proverbs chapter 31, back there, is about us. It's not just about some perfect mother-in-law, but it's about us. It's about the body. It's about the bride. This is our high calling. A true study of Eshet Chayil will reveal Kala Chayil, the bride of valor. It will lead us to consider our ways, amen, to turn our hearts towards Yahweh and transform our actions to mirror our bride, to mirror our bridegroom, Yeshua. Remember Ephesians 5. I want to show you this. This is good. Ephesians 5 verse 30 says, We are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. Hallelujah. Verse 31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. Besar echad. He says here verse 32 that this is a great mystery. He was speaking about the body of Messiah, about the bride. Now this verse is quoting Bereshit Genesis 2 verse 24, which says, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become what? One flesh. Besar echad. Everybody say, Besar echad. One flesh. One unity. Echad. The same. They shall have the same flesh. Now, if we are the bride of Mashiach, follow me here. If we are the bride of Yeshua, then that means what? We are to become one flesh with him. We are to partake of his flesh, mold our earthly flesh after him. So let me ask you, what was Yeshua's flesh? What does it mean for us to become besar echad with Yeshua? When we strive to be the spotless bride, when we model our lives, when we model our ministries, when we model our homes after Eshet Chayil, then and only then are we what? Besar echad. We are one flesh with him. John, Yochanan chapter 1 verse 14. What kind of flesh did Yeshua have? What does it say his flesh was? It says in Yochanan 1 verse 14, the word became flesh and dwelt among us. What word? Not talking about the New Testament word. Not talking about the apocryphal word. But talking about the word. What word? The Torah. What's called the law. The Torah. The first five books of the Bible became flesh and dwelt among us. What was the Torah written with? What did we say earlier? What language was the Torah written in? Swedish? No. Australian? No. Southern? No. What was it written in? Hebrew. In paleo Hebrew especially. The word was made flesh. So what is it exactly? What kind of flesh did Yeshua have? His flesh was made up of the word of Yahweh. It was made up of the Hebrew letters of Yahweh. He was the walking, talking, living Aleph Bet. Yeshua was Yahweh in Yahweh's flesh. I mean the bone of heaven and a body prepared for him before the foundation of the world the word says. Yeshua was the walking, talking, breathing, sneezing Hebrew Aleph Bet. That's where we get alphabet from. It's Aleph Bet. He was and is the Hebrew letters made flesh. So as we become Besar Echad, one flesh, what does that mean? As we become one flesh with him, we must become one with what? The Hebrew letters. The Torah. His word. As we become one with him, during this time of engagement as we await the marriage supper of the Lamb, we are to be more and more like the Ashet Chayil, the Kala Chayil, the excellent bride. Wow. Isn't that amazing? So let's examine Mishle 31. Turn with me to Mishle 31 beginning in verse 10. We're going to examine each verse in this chapter. We're going to look at each letter and see exactly what the excellent bride, the woman of valor, the Ashet Chayil, the excellent bride, the Kala Chayil is like. Because let me tell you, this is our high calling. This is not just a great Mother's Day message, but this is the message of the end times. We are to be spotless. We are to be preparing ourselves for the marriage supper of the Lamb. I don't know about you, but that excites me. To have a greater understanding of what the marriage supper is about, to know that I'm going to be ready, that excites me. The purpose of Proverbs 31 is to show us how the bride of Mashiach is to be. What are we to be like? How are we to function? How are we to live? It was written before Yeshua even came, but it was written about His bride. So we're going to look at each verse and each corresponding letter. Here's what we're going to learn. What is the biblical definition of the bride of Messiah? How should our earthly mothers act? What should the relationship be between husband and wife, spiritual and physical? What does the Scriptures teach about biblical parenting? How can we change to become besar echad, one flesh with Messiah? And what in our life needs to change in order to better reflect the true bride? So as we look at this, may we grow in our appreciation for, number one, our earthly moms and wives, as we learn to be the wife, the bride of Mashiach. Amen? So, verse 10 begins, Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. In Hebrew, it's, Yishet chayil, Mi mimzah v'rachok mip ne'im mikra. An accomplished woman, a virtuous woman, who can find her? She's worth more than rubies. She's worth far more than pearls. So, ladies, guess what? Catch Steph on the back. You are worth more than pearls, more than rubies. You have value in Yahweh's eyes. Now, this section begins with the first letter in the alephbet, which is what? The aleph, the aleph. The aleph, the first Hebrew letter. In Gematria, this is the number one. It's also the number one thousand. It's also the number one thousand. So, in Gematria, this is the number one and it's the number one thousand. So, you know what? Great moms, great wives are one in a thousand. How about that? Now, the aleph in Paleo-Hebrew was a picture of what? Of an ox. Of an ox or a bull. Symbolic meaning is strength of leadership, of being the first. The ox or the bull was a land animal. The animal that worked the ground and worked and worked and worked. Guess what, mom? What do you do all the time? Work and work and work and work. As the bride of Mashiach, guess what? We ought to do the same. We should be working in the field of souls. The harvest is plentiful, but the labors are few. Do you know why the labors are few? Because they're sitting in the pews or they're sitting on the computer or they're going to Walmart or they're spending all their time at movies. They're going to sporting events. The labors aren't in the fields. The field of souls is there, but nobody wants to work. So as the bride of Mashiach, what should we be doing? Working. We should be working the field of souls. Eshet Qayyim. A woman of valor. Who can find her? Well, I want to be... Gosh, I'm going to say it. You ready? I'm going to say it. Are you ready? I want to be that woman. Okay? I want to be that woman. Eshet Qayyim. This isn't about cross-dressing. This is about being the bride of Mashiach that we need to be. Verse 11. The lev of her husband, the heart of her husband, does safely trust in her so that he shall have no need of spoil. Or she shall lack nothing. In Hebrew, batak balev bala v'shala lo yeksar. This is the second letter in the Hebrew aleph bet, which is what? Aleph is the first one. Bet is the second letter in the aleph bet. And who knows what this is a picture of? The bet was a picture of a house or a home. If you live in a house, it's called a beit. It's called a beit. The right woman becomes the home to the right man. Amen? Eshet Qayyim takes care of her house. That's her job. Her husband relies on her to keep the place clean, to keep it organized, to be ready to welcome the guests. Well, the house of Yahweh is the building where we worship. And the body of Mashiach is to make sure that it is kept organized and cleaned. It says that we are to revere his sanctuary. And the house of Yahweh is where? Our bodies. We are the temple of the Ruach HaKodesh. Yahweh is counting on us to accomplish his will. The word batak here means to trust. Trust is vital in any relationship. And here for the Eshet Qayyim, there is trust. Guess what? Yahweh is trusting us. Are we letting him down? Are we doing what he's called us to do? Your husband is trusting you. Are you letting him down? You're doing what you're called to do. This is a beit. It's a household, a tent. The next letter in the Hebrew alif-bet is the gimel. You've probably seen it on a dreidel. The gimel. In paleo-Hebrew, it was a picture of a camel meant to be lifted up. It was a picture of a camel. And in Hebrew, it says, Gi malafu tov bilo rakol yamei kalahah. Which means, she does him tov. She does him good and not evil. All the days of her kalahah. All the days of her qayil. All the days of her life. The gimel is a picture of a camel. What does a camel do? It works for the master. It carries the master. A camel travels far. It can go far without water. Can it not? It can go very long to find riches and glory for its master. Wives, mothers, the bride of Mashiach, we are to do good for the husbands and family. And there's got to be a choice. Notice here it says, she does him good and not evil. Ladies, you have to make a decision probably every day to do your husband good and not evil. Because you know your husband better than anyone else. And you know what to say to hurt him. Don't you? You know what to do to hurt him. But we know what Yahweh wants. We know what Yahweh's desiring. We are his bride. We have to be careful when we choose life and not death. Romans 6, 16. Don't you know that to whom you yield yourself, slaves to obey, his servant you become, whether a slave of sin to death or obedience to righteousness. Notice here it's, She does him good. Let me tell you something. Ladies, you ready? The purpose of the husband and wife is for the wife to do the husband good. That is why you were created, was to do your husband good. Woman was created to be man's helpmate. Eshah was created from Esh to be his helpmate. That's not what Daniel says. That's what the Torah says. She was not created, sorry, for her own pleasure or purpose. Sorry ladies. Yahweh said in Bereshit 2, 18. It is not good for man to be alone. I will make him a helper suitable for him. Your highest calling is to be a helper. Not to be the president of some Fortune 500 company, but to be a helper to your mate. And you've got to do this, and you've got to overcome the curse. You weren't just supposed to be a woe man, causing great woe to the man, but to be a helpmate. In Bereshit, in Genesis 3, 16, part of a curse, it says that the woman's desire will be for her husband. Do you know what that means? In the sowed level, it actually means that the woman will desire the position of the husband. The woman in the sowed level will desire his place in the family. Don't we see that happening today? With lesbians, with what's happening with feminists, desiring to run it. We see it a lot in the church, because the men won't do the job, so what happens? The woman does the job, and then when the man does get born again, does get saved, there's all these problems, because she desires to be the leader. That is in you, because you are a woman. You want to be in charge and in control. The woman desires will be for her husband, but it tells us here that he is to be the head of the household. Amen? She is not to rule the family. Woman and man are to work together. We are to return to the original purpose of the relationship. Just as the woman serves and helps the man, guess what? We as the bride of Messiah are to serve and help him and not hurt his purpose. You know, I just wish we could learn to stay out of his way. We were made for his good pleasures, what it says in Revelation chapter 4. By your hand all things were created for your purpose. We are the bride of Mashiach. We are the bride of Christ, the bride of Messiah. And it tells us in, what does it tell us? In Genesis 3.16 that our desire will be for our husband. Guess what? That means we want to do our own thing and not Yeshua's. So we got to fight that. What is that called? The flesh. So we got to fight our flesh so we can become one flesh with him. Amen? That's good. I like that. I like that. The next verse, are you all with me? The next verse is verse 13. In Hebrew. She seeks wool and flax and works with her hands diligently or willingly. But dalet is a picture of a door. This is the fourth letter in the alephbet. The picture of a door. The mother is always looking for doors of opportunity. She seeks, the word therefore seeks or darsha means that she is constantly striving to better the family. Let me ask you. What are you doing to better your family? What have you done lately to better your family? And what have you done lately to better the body, the family of Mashiach? The Hebrew darsha, it means to seek, to look, to please her husband. She doesn't seek to please others but to do the best and find the best for her groom. Amen? The fifth letter of the alephbet is the what? Alephbet gimel dalet he. He. The he is verse 14. She is like the merchant ships. She brings her food from afar. Heita k'oniot. Soker mimrachat havi lachma. The fifth letter is the he. This is a picture of an open window or in paleo Hebrew a picture of a man or a fence there. It means to behold. The he means to behold. An excellent woman brings bread from afar. She sees the need before it rises and brings it from afar. If you've got to go from afar, if you've got to go far away to get it, you've got to leave early, right? Well, she does that. The right woman looks for the best ingredients. She seeks afar to please her husband. And sometimes us guys don't understand that. You know? Give me the Wal-Mart brand cereal. And my wife wants to buy the name brand because it tastes better. Not to please herself, but to please me. That's what it's about here in verse 14. Verse 15 is the vav. Is the vav. And in Hebrew it says, She rises while it is still night and gives food to her household and a portion to her maidservants. Now, how many know that the vav is a sixth letter? And it means, it's a picture of a nail or a hook. To secure something is what it means. That's what the vav is. Well, guess what? We all know that the woman is who holds the family together like a nail. But she's the hook on which the family hangs. And here it says that the woman gives a portion of her food to her house. She meets the needs of the commonwealth of Israel. Because again, look at this as you and your family. Look at this as the body of Messiah. Giving a portion to the commonwealth. Then it says she gives a portion of work to her maidservants. An excellent bride. We are to be an excellent bride for Yeshua. We are to know that we can't do it all alone. An excellent bride knows that it's got to be delegation. Portions have to be shared. All that we have is to be shared with each other. Including, everybody say including. Including the tribahar. Good Spanish word there. The work. Including the work. Delegation is important. So what has Yahweh's leadership or Yahweh asked you to do? Are you faithful to it? Is that what Yahweh is calling you to do? What have you been delegated to do? Do you delegate your responsibilities at home? The workload and the rewards are meant to be shared. Amen. The word here for she rises is vatakom. Vatakom. And it literally means this. She gets up. She wakes up with a purpose. Wives are to have a purpose each day. What are your plans? Let me ask you. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, next week. What is your purpose? If you're not living life with a purpose, why are you living? As the bride of Mashiach, what is the end of our day? When we wake up in the morning, what is Yahweh's purpose for us that day? What are we going to accomplish for Him? I don't know about you, but I see this. I see the Hebrew. I read it. And I see myself and I say, Oy vey. Because if I were to compare my life to this spotless, perfect bride, I don't line up. Do you? I've got a lot of work to do. I need to live my life with purpose for Him. I want to be spotless for Him when He returns. Amen? I want to be that bride spoken of in Revelation. Zion. Zion. The seventh letter in the Hebrew aliphbet is a picture of a weapon. And its symbolic meaning is to cut or to cut off. In Hebrew, this verse here, which is verse 16, it says, Zamma sade, v'takakenu mipri, kapecha meta karen. She plans for a field. She buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. She considers a field and buys it. With the fruit of her hands, she plants a vineyard. But Zion is a weapon. Now a good general does what? He plans for the future. The bride of Mashiach wears combat boots. The bride of Messiah wears combat boots. We've got to understand that we are in a battle. We war not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and authorities in this world's darkness. We have to gird ourselves up for the coming battles against the darkness. The Ashen Chayil, the woman of valor, plans for the future and plants a vineyard. What comes from a vineyard? Grapes, fruit, a vine. Yeshua is the vine. We are the branches. So are we trusting Him with our future? Are we planning our future? Are we living just one day at a time, Yeshua? That's all I'm asking from you. The Ashen Chayil, the woman of valor, doesn't live one day at a time, does she? She plans for the future. Also note that the Zion is a weapon that cuts. The woman of valor takes a big job and cuts it into smaller tasks. The next verse is Khet. Khet, the eighth letter of the Alephbet. And its literal meaning is fence or hedge or chamber. It means to surround. Khet. In Hebrew it says, She girds her loins in strength, get this, and makes her arms strong. She girds her loins with strength and makes her arms strong. This is an interesting verse. Because the word she girds, Hagra, actually has a sexual connotation to it. Her response to his strength, to her husband, is seen in the marriage bed. When it says that she girds her loins in strength, is an effort to please him and please him only. She encourages him with her strong arms. She wraps her arms around him in love. She sets a fence around him and says, that's my man. She does that. She sets a fence around the family. She keeps them from harm. That's the Khet. How do you like that? Let's take a look at verse 18. In English, she perceives that her merchandise is good. Her lamp does not go out at night. In Hebrew, Sakra, lo. The Khet is the ninth letter in the Hebrew Alisbet. The Khet means to sense. It means to sense. To surround. To twist. The Khet means to twist. Her lamp does not go out at night. Do you see that? Her lamp is not out at night. Her senses are always towards the family. She surrounds her family. She hears the baby crying even when everyone else is asleep. She sleeps with one eye open. And she gets up and allows the father to rest. She knows when something is wrong. She senses even in her sleep. Her senses never sleep. And the idea here that her lamp does not go out does not mean that she works all night. It does not mean she works all night. But that she, even in the darkness, is surrounded by the light of Yahweh. Do you know why? Because even at night, even in the darkness, even when the darkness will come upon the face of the earth, as the word says, it tells us that our light, our good deeds will shine. Therefore, let your good deeds, let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father who is in heaven. When is the light the brightest? When it's surrounded by darkness. And as darkness increases, as the world grows cold, as evil just gets more evil, our light is going to shine even in the darkness because we are the bride of Mashiach. Amen? The Yod. The Yod, the tenth letter. Yaday-ha-shwe-cha-vayik-shor-ze-ka-pa-cha-tam-chu-ve-lach She sets her hands to the distaff and holds the spindle in her hands. Verse 19 The distaff and spindle work together to produce clothing. The woman's hands are skilled to work and to produce. Her hands are an extension of her soul. Now the Yod is the first letter in this Pasuk, or in this verse. The Yod is a picture of the hand. Our hands are to be busy with the Master's work. Don't we know that idle hands are what? The devil's play shop or workshop. Well, we should set our hands to the plow and keep going. We ought to set our hands to the ministry. What has Yahweh called you to do? What gifts, what talents do you have? You should be actively putting your hands to work for Yahweh. A good mother, a good wife, can't and would not sit on her hands. Amen? She would use them. We've got to do the same. We have to do the same. Verse 20 Verse 20 is the Hebrew letter Chaf. Chaf. Chaf. Get this. It says she stretches out her hand to the poor. Yes, she stretches out her hands to the needy. The Chaf is another picture of a hand. But instead of just a hand, it's specifically the open palm. The open hand. Our palms, our hands, are to be open to the needy. We are to be open. We should be reaching out to those in need. We should be hospitable. We should open our homes. We should open our hearts. Our hands should be open, not just to teach Torah, but to live Torah. Matthew 25, 35-40 This isn't me. This isn't Rabbi Daniel. This is Yeshua. For I was hungry, and you gave me food. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in. Naked, you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Master, when did we see you hungry and feed you, thirsty and give you to drink? When did we see you a stranger and took you in, or naked and clothed you? When did we see you sick or in prison and visited you? We didn't see you do these things. And the king shall answer and say, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whatever you have done unto the least of these, He is like brothers. You have done it to me. That is to be our handiwork. The next letter, the 12th letter, is the Lamed. Lamed. In English it says, She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household is clothed in scarlet. The Lamed is a picture of an ox goad, or a stick used to push the animal to obedience. Here it says that the woman of the house, the whole house is warmly dressed. It's been said that a good mother is one who makes her children wear a sweater when she is cold. Make sense? Most women have been gifted with what? Discernment. The Ashet Chayil, the woman of valor, discerns the problem and fears not. Ladies, you are not to be captive by fear. It says here, She fears not. You are to fear not. She does not fear that her husband makes decisions. Because he carries the staff, she supports him. Did you know that snow can usually be forecasted? You don't expect snow in the middle of June, do you? You know when it's going to snow. What the righteous woman plans for the future. As the body of Mashiach, we are to see the impending snow, the cold, and take precaution. What does it say? The cold is coming. Matthew 24. Because lawlessness increases in the world, the love of many will grow cold. We as the bride are to be preparing ourselves for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Amen. The Mim, the 13th letter of the Aleph Bet, the middle letter of the Aleph Bet, says she makes herself quilts, her clothing is silk and purple. She covers herself, her clothing is fine linen and purple. The Mim is the first letter of the word Mayim, or water. Now the Mim is a picture of a womb. The water is in the womb. There is an open Mim and a closed Mim. There is a closed womb and an open womb. And it says here that she covers for herself is directly in relation to the bedroom. Hear me now. To bedtime clothing. Scripturally, the bedroom and not, everybody say not, scripturally the bedroom and not the living room should be the most beautiful room in the whole house. Scripturally, the bedroom should be spoken of as in Song of Psalms, Shir Hasharim 116, it should be luxuriant. And the bed should be reserved for sleep and sex only. Let me say that again. The bed should be reserved for sleeping and sex only. No eating, no watching TV, no spending the day in the bed. The bedroom is to be the place where the husband seeks solace and rest. The husband seeks solace and rest. The word for covers here in Hebrew is Lashesh. And it literally means constantly cover. The woman of valor, sorry, doesn't dress up to go out. She dresses up every day to please her husband. Because we are to be dressed up for Yahweh every day, are we not? We are to be seeking pleasing our husband. And the Eshet Chayil, the woman of valor, is dressed to impress her husband only. Only. The woman of valor covers herself, it says here, at all times. Not showing skin that shouldn't be shown. But dressing modestly. She is dressed to please her man and she will not allow her body to be exposed to others. As the body of Messiah, we are to clothe ourselves with him. Now let me ask you, do you only put on Yeshua when you come to Shabbat? Do you only put on Yeshua when you come to Shabbat? No. So we should just dress up when it's time to go out. We should look, ladies, you should look good for your man. It's okay. It tells us in Yochanan 29.14, excuse me, in Job 29.14, Job 29.14 it says, I put on righteousness and it clothed me. Righteousness was like a robe and a turban. The Nun. Everybody say Nun. It's in verse 23. Her husband is known in the gates. He sits among the elders of the land. The husband sits at the gate. That's the place of passing. That's the place of people. In paleo-Hebrew, the Nun was a fish, a moving fish, standing up on its fins, like wiggling up and down like it was doing a dance. The Nun is a picture of activity in life. The idea is still important for us today. Our spiritual life is to be full of activity. We are to be like a fish out of water. What does a fish out of water do? It flops and flips around. It wants to get back in. It's needing water. When we are not in Yahweh's presence, we should be flopping and flipping around, needing His presence, and we are to be fishers of men. Matthew 4.18. Yeshua said, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And guess what? It tells us in Matthew 4.18, Yeshua was walking by the Sea of Galil. He saw two brothers, Shimon and Kepha, and Andrea's brother casting a net into the sea. He said, Follow me, verse 19, and I will make you fishers of men. Where was Yeshua? At the Sea of Galilee. Where is the Sea of Galilee? In the northern kingdom. What's the northern kingdom? Ephraim. Who are we? We are Ephraim returning. As Ephraim returning, our calling is to be fishers of men. We are to use the hook. What's the hook? It's the vav, to share the besarot, the good news of Yeshua. An excellent bride will be found sharing the good news. Just as a fish jumps out of water really quick, we should be quick to jump. We should be quick to jump and rise to the challenges of life. Tzamek is next. Tzamek, verse 24. The tzamek, here, is the word for cloak or linens. She makes a cloak and sells it. She delivers aprons to the merchants. The tzamek was a picture of a prop. It means in symbolic meaning to turn or to support. The tzamek is the word here for satin or linen garments. The tzamek or prop is something that supports something. The yeshik hayil supports her man. She supports her husband. She does not compete with him to always be right. We are to trust our groom, Yeshua, that his way is right. He is the way, the truth, and the life. And we are to follow after him. Amen? Amen. Let's take a look at verse 25. Strength and honor are her clothing. She smiles at the future. She smiles at her future. When was the last time you read the book of Revelation and smiled? As the bride of Mashiach, we are to smile at our future. Azvadar, lushah, vishakh hayom acharon. Strength and honor are her clothing. She smiles at the future. This is the letter ayin, the word for strength. The ayin is also the what? It's the I. Hebrew word for ayin is I. It was a picture in paleo Hebrew of the I. She clothes herself to please her husband. We are to trust Yahweh that our future is bright. Jeremiah 29.11. No matter what we face, we are to be clothed with what? Strength and honor. We are to smile. Now remember, when Abraham wrote this as the rabbis tell us, I just have to believe that he was writing this verse about Sarah. Because what did she do when she heard she was going to be pregnant? She laughed. She laughed. We are to look at the future, knowing how dark it can be, and laugh and say, Yahweh is with us. Yahweh is able to do exceedingly abundantly over anything we can think, ask, or imagine according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3.23. The next letter is verse 26. The Peh. Everybody say Peh. Everybody say Peh. Peh. And this is the Hebrew word for mouth. In Hebrew this verse says, Pi-ha-hat-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Excuse me. Let me start over. In Hebrew it says, Pi-ha-hat-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Pi-ha-hat-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Vi-chom-kah. Now, most women, let's be honest, struggle here. Most men struggle here. The power of life and death is in the tongue. Good women, toad women, use their mouth for toad for good. Evil women use their mouth for fussing and gossip. First Corinthians chapter 14 says, Let your women keep silent in the congregation, for it is not permitted for them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience, as says the Torah. For if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is a shame for a woman to speak out in the congregation. What does this mean? That the woman should not speak out to complain. Doesn't mean they can't talk, but they shouldn't complain in the congregation. The mark of an excellent wife is that she uses her words for truth, for emet. Now let me show you something here. This verse should be the desire and description, this is the job description of the bride of Messiah. This is what we should all be about. May it be so. Amen? In Hebrew, She opens her mouth in wisdom, chokmah, in lessons of kindness, v'torot chesed. Notice the word torot, Torah. Lessons, not law, not strict rulings. The Torah is lessons of chesed. Let me tell you something. If your mouth is full of v'torot chesed, lessons of grace, it should not be full of lessons of judgment. The Torah is there to show us Yahweh's grace. Our teaching of Torah should be through love and chesed. Look at this verse again. Tia chatachah v'chokmah. That's wisdom. She opens her mouth with wisdom, v'torot, with lessons, or the Torah of chesed, grace, al l'shonah. Al l'shonah, her tongue, is speaking these words. Verse 27. She looks well to the halakot of her household and eats not the bread of idleness. This is the tzadi. The tzadi, which was a picture of a reaping hook, of harvest, or even a fish hook, desire. Now the tzadi is the letter of righteousness. You've heard the word tzedakah. Tzedakah is righteousness. Righteousness is not just a spiritual state. It is spiritual doing. In Judaism, tzedakah literally means charity or gifts to the poor. The excellent woman is hooked towards tzedakah. She seeks to reap righteousness for her lives. As the bride of Messiah, we do not allow idleness to set in. We understand that faith without works is dead. Amen? We should not eat the bread of idleness because you know what? It's stale. It's moldy. It's nasty. We've got to make the bread every day. Just as the bread was replaced daily in the temple, we should be making the bread every day. What does that mean? What does that mean? The next verse is the kuf. Is the kuf. Verse 28. Kamu v'neiha b'ashra'u b'lah v'halal. Her children rise and praise her. Her husband lauds her, halals her, halals her. It's like he's saying hallelujah to her. The kuf is the back of the head. It's literally a picture of the back of the head. It means to be the behind, or the least, or the last. When the man comes home on Friday night and he places his hand on the yishit hayil and he says these verses, he places his hand on her kuf, on the back of her head. The blessing is placed there. Her husband praises her with these beautiful words. Her children rise up and bless her. Yahweh looks upon His bride and is pleased. That is the end result. Amen? It's what Yahweh wants. The next verse in English says, Many daughters have done great, have done worthily, but you surpassed them at all. Rabot banot. Asu chalim. V'at alit al kaluna. This is the resh. Everybody say resh. This is the resh. And the resh is the top, the head, the highest. Like Rosh Hashanah is the head of the new year. Rosh Kodesh is the renewed month. Many women have done great, but the yishit hayil is the resh, is the best, is the top. This is how Yahweh sees His bride. Let me tell you something. Yahweh does not see us as some second-rate Gentiles. We are one with Yahweh Yeshua. We are Yisrael. Amen? Ephesians 2. It says, In which time you walk according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit now operates into our breaking children, among whom we all used to have our conduct in times past, fulfilling the desires of our flesh. And by nature, we were, everybody say were, we were children of wrath, even as others. But Yahweh, who is rich in mercy, for His great love through which He loved us, even though we were dead in our sins, man in our sins has made us alive together with Messiah, by unmerited favor you are saved, and raised us together to sit up in heavenly places. We were Gentiles. You cannot be a saved Gentile. We are Yisrael. The next letter is the Sheen. It says, Favor or beauty is deceitful. Beauty is vain. A woman that fears Yahweh, she shall be given praise. In Hebrew, Shekher, Hachin, Vihelev, Hayafi, Isha, Yirat, Yahweh, He, Tid, Halel. Shekher, the letter Sheen, is a letter that looks like a molar or a tooth. It means to consume or to destroy. The Shekher, destroys. Deceitfulness and error destroys the body of Messiah. It's interesting here that the letters Shekher, the letters that say Shekher, are Sheen, Koph, and Resh, are all next to each other. Sheen, Resh, and Koph are all next to each other in the Hebrew Amithet. We just went over those letters. But deceitfulness, is easy to come by. Falsehood is everywhere. Right? Don't we know this? But the letters for Emet, for truth, are the first, the middle, letters. Aleth, Mem, and Tav. Truth is more difficult to come by. Amen? Now get this here. You take Emet, Emet, you take Emet, and you take away the Aleth. What's the value of the Aleth? One. You take away a little bit from truth, and you have Met. Do you know what Met is in Hebrew? Death. Death. You take a little bit of truth, and you have death. There should be no falsehood in our faith. In the context of this verse, the excellent bride is not necessarily a beautiful bride. Ladies, you do not have to look like Hollywood. You do not have to have plastic surgery. What matters? A woman that Yirat Yahweh, that fears Yahweh, shall be praised. Our bodies should be healthy, but we don't have to go through plastic surgery. We should fear Him. Finally, verse 31. Give her the fruit of her hands, and let the works praise her in the gates. The Aleth Bet ends with the Tav. The Tav was a sign, or a cross. It meant a covenant, or a seal, a signature, a symbol. The fruit of her hands is the sign and signature of her love for her husband. Ladies, what you do with your hands, the fruit you produce shows the love for your groom. And guess what? For the saint, it's the same thing. The fruit of our hands, note, not, not, not the fruit of our lips. The fruit of our hands is the proof that we love Yahweh. We can say we love Him all day long, but it's the fruit of our hands. Give her the fruit of her hands, and let the works praise her in the gates. The fruit of our hands will show our love and devotion to Yahweh. Matthew 7, 16. Matityahu 7, 16. You shall know them by their fruit. John 15, 7. Yochanan 15, 7. If you remain in Me, and My words stay in you, you shall ask what you desire. It shall be done. By this is My Father glorified, esteemed, you bear much fruit. By your hands, so you shall be My disciples. As the fathers loved Me, so I have loved you. Matthew 15, 10. If you keep My mitzvot, you shall stay in My love, even as I have kept My father's mitzvot, and stay in his love. Yochanan 15, verse 16. You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and ordained you. Israel, the bride, we've been ordained. We've got our combat boots on. We've got our white wedding dress on. It should not have spot. It should not have blemish. And it tells us here, John 15, 16. You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and ordained you, that you should go forth and bear more fruit, and your fruit would remain. That whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give it to you. Verse 17. These things I command you, that you love one another. The Ashit Chayil, the woman of excellence, the woman of valor, is a picture of the perfect woman. So, Mamas, don't beat yourself up. We all fall short of the glory of Yahweh, but that is what Yahweh wants from us individually, and that's what Yahweh wants, whether you're a man or a woman, whether you're the bride of a groom, whether you're single, whether you're married, whether you're divorced. This is what Yahweh wants from us because we are the bride of Messiah. We are... HaChala Moshiach. We are His bride. He was the Word made flesh, and if we are to be like Him, we are to have one flesh with Him. Amen? One flesh with Him. As we learn to become Ashit Chayil, we will be conformed to His image and reflect His true love to the world. We are the bride of Moshiach. So may we take this verse, may we take these sections here, apply it to our everyday life, even to our Rev. Shabbat services. If you welcome Shabbat, may you begin reading this, even if you're alone, even if you're by yourself. Reading this and saying, Yahweh, this is what I want to be like. I want to be the bride that you seek. For this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, be joined to his wife, that they shall become Besar Echad, Yeshua's Echad with Yahweh. We are to be one with Him. One with His flesh. His flesh was the word, the alephbet. Let's end with Revelation 19. And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, the voice of many waters, much Mayim, and as the voice of a mighty thundering, saying, Hallelujah, for the Master Yahweh El Shaddai reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give honor to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come. And let His wife make herself ready. And to her was granted, to us was granted, that she should be arrayed in fine linen, what we just read, clean and white. For the fine linen is the righteousness, the tzedakah, the charity of the Israelite saints. And He said to me, Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. Father Yahweh, may it be so. May you make us into your image, more and more, that we could be besarachad with you. That is our desire. In Him we live and move and have our being. That we could be, the woman of valor, the bride that you seek, blameless and spotless, ready for the marriage supper of the Lamb, we pray, b'shem Yeshua. Amen. That's www.findemet.com.
