NEHEMIAH'S 12 LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

JULY 21, 2013

A few days ago while looking through some messages I spoke and wrote many years past, I was reminded of a very important event that took place in the month Elul long ago. It was the rebuilding of the Wall & Gates of the ancient city of Jerusalem by Nehemiah. The restoration process took 52 days and ended on Elul 25. As we can see already with the reversal of the numbers 25 and 52, this book is filled with many esoteric messages waiting to be revealed in our day.

QUICK OVERVIEW

Both books of Ezra and Nehemiah were one before they were separated; they were written around 425 B.C. Southern Israel, the land of Judah had been invaded over 70 years prior. The Judahites or Judeans (Jews) had been taken into captivity for violation of God's Sabbaths. They were repeatedly warned through the Prophets Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Daniel. They had been taken to Babylon and Persia which are modern day Iraq and Iran. At the time of Nehemiah's writing many had returned home from their captivity. Ezra had rebuilt the Temple but the city had no defense and there was no real sense of community among the people that had been exposed to other cultures, spoke different languages and did not have a relationship with their God.

It was in the month of Chislev on the Hebrew Calendar, which is equivalent to the month of December on the present Gregorian Calendar. Nehemiah was in the winter palace in Shushan, where he held a high position. He was the Kings cup bearer. While in the palace he was visited by some of his countrymen from Judah. Nehemiah inquired about the status of his brethren back home that had returned from captivity.

"The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [certain] men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.

And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,.." Nehemiah 1:1-4

CLUES IN THE NAMES

Nehemiah has received an update on the status of Jerusalem, he is deeply disturbed by it. The people are afflicted, the walls are broken down and the gates are burned with fire. This literal story in ancient history serves as a powerful metaphor for the state of many today and the restoration that's taking place within us all.

Nehemiah means Yahweh comforts, the Comfort of God. He is a type of the Holy Spirit that has been sent as the Comforter. In order for one to be a comforter, he must be sensitive enough to feel the needs of others. Once Nehemiah hears the report, he loses sight of all the opulence he is surrounded by in the winter palace. He immediately connects with those in need. He is so moved by the circumstances of others that he can no longer stand; he has to sit down. He has such a burden for the condition of the less fortunate; he weeps, mourns as if there has been a death, he fast and prays.

Shushan means a lily, pure. (shaped like a trumpet)

Hachaliah means He whom Yahweh enlightens, God enlightens. The Hebrew root words means dark eyes flashing with light. Nehemiah is the son of Hachaliah, or, offspring of Enlightenment - light.

Chislev is the 9th month on the Hebrew Calendar (November-December). Chislev means, his confidence.

Hanani means Gracious, favor, mercy; to stoop low. Judah means Praise of Yahweh, praise God. Jerusalem means Place of peace.

Hidden within the first (2) verses is an eternal messages that shows the plan and process for the ancient people's restoration of the wall and gates. It is also the plan for all of humanity. Through the prophetic definitions of these names, the plan is revealed.

The Creator is trumpeting His message, calling us to purity and to be free from material worries, as the lily does not toil. His grace, mercy and favor comes to those that humble themselves (Hanani). He comes in your time of travail (9th month) and challenges. In your winter season that seems hopeless; He gives you confidence to endure (Chislev). The Comforter (Nehemiah) has come to help you to praise God (Judah) in the midst of your circumstances. This powerful revelation turns your darkened eyes into flashes of light and to enlightenment (Hacaliah). Nehemiah 1:1-2

12 LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Nehemiah was sent as a governor to Jerusalem to restore the Wall and the Gates, the Temple had already been restored. This is a picture of humanity's process of evolution. Our spirit or Temple has been restored, we can communicate directly with the Creator. However, there are areas of our soul which are being restored. Each version or incarnation of soul must be reconciled into one mighty defense in your individualized New Jerusalem. This is typified in Nehemiah's 12 Gates. Here are the 12 gates below. These are all different levels of consciousness that also correlate with the Zodiac and many other things.

(1) THE SHEEP GATE Nehemiah 3:1

(2) THE FISH GATE Nehemiah 3:3

(3) THE OLD GATE Nehemiah 3:6

(4) THE VALLEY GATE Nehemiah 3:13

(5) THE DUNG GATE Nehemiah 3:14.

(6) THE GATE OF THE FOUNTAIN Nehemiah 3:15

(7) THE WATER GATE Nehemiah 3:26

(8) THE HORSE GATE Nehemiah 3:28

(9) THE EAST GATE Nehemiah 3:29

(10) THE GATE MIPHKAD Nehemiah 3:31

(11) THE GATE OF EPHRAIM Nehemiah 8:16

(12) THE PRISON GATE (Also called, Guard or Kings Gate) Nehemiah 12:39

NEHEMIAH'S 52 DAYS CYCLE

"So the wall was completed on the twenty-fifth of Elul, in fifty-two days. When all our enemies heard about this, all the surrounding nations were afraid and lost their self-confidence, because they realized that this work had been done with the help of our God." Nehemiah 6:15-16

Nehemiah's Wall & Gates were finished in 52 days on Elul 25; which holds the mysteries of the 12 levels of Consciousness through the restored gates of the soul and its cycle. This cycle is foreshadowed in 52 day of 52 weeks to complete the 360 degree cycle of the soul. Again, we are given clues to the work and preparation that's being done in the soul (mind, will, emotion, intellect, imagination) of humanity.

The 52 metaphoric days that make 52 prophetic weeks, or the complete 360 degree cycle of the human soul, is not limited to what we know of as time and space. This very important cycle begun before most of us incarnated into this current version that you look at in the mirror. This cycle did not begin when you had a "born again" experience. Your "born again" experience was actually another portal of the soul opening to express itself, it was another level of consciousness before full enlightenment occurs. The Apostle Paul said, "We have only received the earnest of our inheritances." Ephesians 1:4

The book of Nehemiah portrays this experience as 52 days or 5+2=7. 7 is the frequency of spiritual perfection, completion, full maturity and GOD. So we see that the hidden message is about humanity evolving into divinity, to vibrate at the same frequency of what we call God.

"Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all." Philippians 2:5-6 Message Bible - - The keys to this lofty state are awareness and humility.

52 weeks equals one year. In biblical terminology, this is called, the year of the LORD's favor or the acceptable year of the LORD. It is a 360 degree cycle but not a literal year of 360 or 365 days. In astronomical terminology, this would be called the Great Year. It is the precession of the equinox through the 12 Zodiac Ages, a period of 26,000 years. We are not insinuating the soul's cycle takes this long, we are only revealing the expanded mysteries of Nehemiah's 52 days and how his building connects with Divine Astrology.

The metaphoric Great Year and Year of Yahweh's favor is the experience where soul has traveled and evolved through the 12 gates and ends where it started. Depending on the Grace (favor) of God and Accepting yourself are vital to soul's restoration. When we agreed to come here and other places we have been, the soul was subjected to the challenges of that specific environment. In the Bible, we are given the history of Judeans becoming the metaphor for the collective human soul.

The Babylonians invaded them and took them into captivity. This has been the plight of all humans that descended to the 3 -dimensional plane on this planet. The Babylonian system of codes, rules and laws captured the soul; the mind, will, emotions, intellect and imagination. The captors manifested as religion, materialism, addictions, sin, hate, pride, selfishness and many other things that are a part of this system. Howbeit, the captivity could legally only last for an appointed time; after which a Nehemiah, the Comforter would be sent to restore our souls. "He restores my soul." Psalms 23:3

In the Bible, Nehemiah is represented as a type of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has been sent to bear the burden of the soul, to assist and restore it. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit (Comforter) that this great work will be completed. Your arrival on this planet is not an accident. I believe the experiences of this planet represents one of the last gates to be restored or mentioned. It is the Prison Gate. Nehemiah 12:39

PROGRESSIVE THOUGHTS

Without any contradiction, we know the work has already been completed. Soul has made her evolution and she is fully joined to spirit; it was finished before the foundation of this planet in the mind of the Creator. However, for the sake of understanding the process through the realm of time and the 3 dimensional world, we speak as if it is happening. We have been given many metaphors and illustrations in all holy scriptures, nature and life.

We are not suggesting that there are only 12 levels of consciousness, we know of at least 48. The 48 are made up of the prominent 12 Zodiac houses and their 36 sub-constellations. "In my Father's house are many mansions."

The ultimate goal for experiencing the 12 levels of consciousness of soul's restoration or restoring the 12 gates of Jerusalem is, physical immortality and possessing our light body. The finishing of this great feat of restoring the 12 literal gates was not by coincidence that it ended in Elul and even on Elul 25.

HE'S PERFORMING THE WORK

Whatever your situation appears to be and whatever state of mind you find yourself in now, here is one fact. "Be confident in this one thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will keep on performing it until the day of Christ." Philippians 1:6 All you have to do is, be obedient and yield; He is performing the work to purify and restoring the soul.
