We have looked at several things since the receiving of the TenCommandments; we have looked at the Adoption as “sons” into YHVH’s Familyas revealed to us through becoming a Bondservant. Then we have looked atthe newly adopted child entering the House or Dwelling Place of the Father asrevealed in the Tabernacle. This week’s Portion starts with the squeezing of theolive and the creation of oil so that there can be light in the House of the Father.No light – no life.

The squeezing of the oil is part of the steps you go through as a new son/daughter living in the House of the Father /Master. We are going to use this asa theme to see what that means on a personal and spiritual level to gainwisdom regarding Abba’s House and being part of His Family.

“Creating the oil and light” is linked to Creation where YHVH revealed His Lighton the First Day and the revelation of this light is like the “first day of creation” ofthe Tabernacle. We are going to see how we can be part of this “creationprocess”, fuelling and revealing that light in this dark Tabernacle. Remember,this light was in the Holy place, not outside the Outer Court or in the world.

Manifesting the Spiritual Realm – Shining your LampWe saw last week that the Tabernacle is the place where thespiritual and physical comes together. There is only one otherplace where it happens, where the physical and the spiritualcohabitate and that is inside humans. We have an “animalbody”, the Nephesh, with the Spiritual side, the Neshamah, bothdwelling inside each child of YHVH. This is where the physicaland the spiritual connect and cohabitate, where the Kingdom ofYHVH is within you - Luke 7:21. We can do something no othercreature, not even angels or animals can do; we can take things

from the spiritual realm and bring them into and manifest themin the physical realm.

When you apply the Commandments to your life and do them, you translatewhat is in the Spiritual into the Physical through your obedience. It is unnaturalfor people not to work on Saturdays, but you connect the Spiritual into thenatural, elevating that day to a Holy Day called the Sabbath, into a spiritualexperience with the Creator. This is what it means to “shine His Light’ in thisdark world; you take things that “shines from the spiritual” and release themthrough your life, “shining them into” the physical. When we allow the Torah tobecome part of our lives, we can take everyday mundane things and elevatethem as Holy things as part of YHVH Renewal and Restoration process.

In the previous Torah portions, the Tabernacle is referred to as the “Mishkahn”,the “Dwelling Place” or the “Mikdash”, the “Pace of Holiness”. In this TorahPortion, it is called “Ohel Moed”, “the tent of meeting” and is the first place thisterm is used to refer to the Tabernacle. The emphasis in this Portion is not onthe Structure of the Tabernacle as we have seen previously, but on the MeetingPlace where YHVH meets with man.

Q – Why did the word change from Mishkan to Ohel in this Torah Portion?

It lines up with the theme of producing oil to light up the Tabernacle, to change itfrom a dark empty box to a place of light and life where YHVH will meet with Hispeople. The oil in the lamp produced light that gave the Tabernacle warmth,light and something of value and purpose. It changed the Tabernacle from aMishkahn, a potential Dwelling Place, into a real Dwelling Place. It also turnedthe Tabernacle from a Mikdash, a potential Holy Place to a real Holy Place, allbecause of the freshly squeezed oil.

The Menorah is not an object that is seen from the outside, but its purpose is to

illuminate everything around it on the inside. Ohel “aleph-hey-lamed”consists of the short form of the Name of God, Elohim, namely El ל (aleph-lamed) with a “hey” inserted in the middle. Hey means light and is linked tothe word for Tabernacle (Ohel) as well as the theme of freshly squeezed oil that

will be used to light up (hey) the Dwelling Place of El . or Elohimל

Almonds: In the Previous Portion we have looked at the Lamp inside theTabernacle that symbolises the Spirit of YHVH. The Menorah has 22

almonds that decorate it, and these Almonds represents the 22letters of the Aleph-Bet, this serving YHVH’s Word as well. What

further confirms this is that the word “almond” is found 22 times inScripture (OT). This makes the Spirit and the Word Echad or the

same. The Spirit reveals the Word and the Word beautifies the Spirit andenables it to shine. The one cannot exist without the other.

Olive Oil: Olive is the Hebrew word that comes from the root word“zif ” that means “brightness” that is found in 1 Kings 6:1 thatspeaks of the month of Zif (2nd month, the month after Nissan – Biblical New Year ) in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign, in thetime when the construction of the 1st Temple began. Thisconnects the Olive not only to light, but to the starting of the

building of the Permanent Temple or Dwelling Place of YHVH inJerusalem.

The Priestly Garments

In Exo 28:2 YHVH told Moses to make holy garments for Aaron his brother, forglory and beauty. If you go back to last week’s Portion reading Exodus chapter26, you read about the Holy of Holies with its walls of blue, purple, scarlet andgold. Reading this week’s Portion, you will find the same colours and materialsmentioned to make Aaron, the High Priest’s garments (Exo 28:4-5). This makesthe High Priest a living breathing part of the Tabernacle.

The Garments were made for beauty and glory. Beauty is the word “tipharah”beauty, splendour, elegant jewellery, honour, and renown. Glory is the word“kavode” that means, glory, splendour, honour, riches and abundance. What

was on the inside of the Tabernacle was on the outside of Aaron. Keep thesetwo words in mind; we will look at them later on in this study.

The Priesthood “Link”

In last week’s Portion, we looked at the construction of the Tabernacle that gaveinstructions for the building of the Ark of the Covenant, the Table of Showbread,the Coverings, the Menorah and the Outer Court. What was not covered lastweek were the Laver and the Golden Altar of Incense. Before He gave

instructions regarding these two furnishings, YHVH continues with the detail ofthe Priestly Garments.

Q – Why are the Garments mentioned now, before continuing with the Laverand Golden Altar?

The reason the Priesthood is discussed here is that they are part ofthe living Tabernacle, just like we saw with the High Priest. Whatgood is a Tabernacle without anyone accessing it? The constructionof the Tabernacle can be described at the hand of a chain where theone link connects to the next link forming a chain that has a

purpose. The Priesthood forms part of this chain, and their “link” fitsin the right between the previous “link” found in the last TorahPortion, namely the Outer Court and the next “link” found in thisTorah Portion, namely the Altar of Incense.

The one “link” has to do with interacting with People on the inside of the OuterCourt (fellow Believers), and the other “link” has to do with interacting with theOne behind the Veil in the Holy of Holies (YHVH the Father). It was the duty ofthe Priesthood to interweave the Spiritual (YHVH) with the Natural (People),and that is exactly what the name Levi means; to interweave. When you weave

a tapestry, you take vertical strands (connection with YHVH)and interweave horizontal strands (connection with people)through them in order to create a beautiful picture of maninteracting with YHVH. The Priesthood facilitates this“weaving” function that creates a place where the Spiritualand the Physical meets, this makes a beautiful picture ofYHVH and man becoming Echad (one).

The Real vs. the Shadow

We read in Col 2:17 that the Ordinances regarding food, Sabbath, new moonand Festivals are shadows of the real this is to come, and their substance is in

Messiah. Some people use this passage to say that the Ordinances are nolonger valid because they were just shadows pointing to Messiah, but since Hecame, they are no longer valid. Is this true? Let's read this verse in relation withother verses where the word “shadow” is found to see what the true meaning of“shadows” are from YHVH’s perspective.

Heb 8:5 who serve a COPY AND SHADOW of the heavenly things, justas Moses was warned by YHVH when he was about to erect theTabernacle; for, "see," He says, "that you make all things ACCORDINGTO THE PATTERN which was shown you on the mountain."

Ps 91:2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will abide in the

SHADOW of the Almighty.


5/12

5

Ps 17:8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the SHADOW ofYour wings.

What Paul is trying to say in Col 2 is that all the symbols anddetail found in the Ordinances are prophetic patterns that pointto Messiah to recognise Him when He comes. That is what wehave been doing looking at the Tabernacle revealing Messiah inevery object. You can see the same with the Feasts; they pointto the Work of the Messiah, the Sabbath, where we enter intoHis rest, etc. All these objects are there, not only to recogniseHim, but also to understand and know Him intimately. If youdisregard all the things that point to Messiah after His Coming,will you be able to know and understand Him? The answer is no.People who ignore and disregard the Ordinances of YHVH, missout on so much in knowing the intimate detail of our Father andCreator.

Secondly, we read in Psalm 91 and 17 where the shadow is described as agood thing to submit under because they provide protection and guidance. To“abide in the shadow” means you have to “sit under the real”. The fact that thereis a Real that exist in the Spiritual is not to say that the “shadow” is evil or notapplicable, that is foolish thinking. The shadow reveals the real and both areimportant. If it were not for the shadow, you would not have known about thereal.

Thirdly, the Holy Place and Most Holy Place are the areas where you will findshadows because of the lack of natural sunlight. These areas are where youfind the Showbread that represents the “house rules” or Word of YHVH, that

contains the Ordinances that “covers and protects”, which are the guidelinesregarding food, the Festivals and the Sabbath. Not only that, the wholeTabernacle is a “shadow” of the real dwelling place of YHVH in the spiritual,revealed in the physical so that we can study it and know YHVH moreintimately.

The Ester Connection

Two things links this Torah Portion to the Feast ofPurim (Book of Ester). Firstly, the Feast of Purim fallsbetween Tabernacles and Passover every year and is

in the same season as this week’s Torah Portion.Everything YHVH does in your life follows a patternthat is linked to His Word and to His Seasons. Seasonis the Hebrew word “mo-ed” that is also translated asFestivals or Appointed Times. When you look back onyour life you will see that it follows some connection to

the Appointed Time Cycle and the Torah Cycle, having the same themes, as ifYHVH knew beforehand what Word of encouragement we need before weexperience the dynamics associated with this season. It is as if YHVH is usingthese Seasons to “create you internally”, taking you through situations thatfollow these “themes” and equipping you as you experience them.


6/12

The Feast of Purim is about the Children of YHVH being oppressed, and theyexperienced YHVH as being very distant. Esther means “hidden”, and you donot find the Name YHVH anywhere in the Book of Ester except in 4 verseswhere it is hidden within the first letter of 4 Hebrew words. YHVH hides withinHis Creation as well as in the “shadows” within His Word.

This time of year is usually the season where you will experience YHVH to bemore distant than any other time of the year. This time is where things do notrun as smooth as they normally do, where you face more difficulties in your life.If you look back on your life, you will recognise this pattern. Be of good cheer,He is not absent from your life, but He is closer than you think.

We have discussed this very same topic in the Torah Portionwhere Jacob encountered Esau, where YHVH was “hiding”within the “bad” situation, being closer than Jacob through andthis is where YHVH changed his “walk”. Whenever you wrestlewith difficult times, always remember that YHVH is the One youare wrestling with.

In the story of Ester, Mordechai overheard the plot to kill theKing, and he reported this to the powers to be and prevent it from happening.Just after that, the King made a decree that all the Jews killed on a particularday. Mordechai, who did a righteous deed, must have thought to himself ; “ whydoes it help to follow YHVH, you do the right thing, but things only get worse”.

Q – Have you ever felt like this, where it seems that you do the right thingfollowing YHVH, but things just don’t turn out the way you think it should?

Sometimes you just have to keep on doing the right thing and trust YHVH tochange your situation as He did for the Jews in the time of Ester. Remember,

things will normally get worse before getting better to test you and make youstrong.

We find the second link between the story of Ester and this Torah Portion (thestory of the Tabernacle) in the two words; beauty or “tipharah” and glory or“kavode”, that we touched on when looked at the Priestly garments.

Est 1:4-6 When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and thehonour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and

fourscore days. 5 And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both

unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace; 6 Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened withcords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: thebeds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red , and blue, andwhite, and black, marble.

We previously looked at the Priestly Garments and the Holy of Holies wherethey share the same colours and materials, linking the High Priest to theTabernacle. Here we see the King preparing a feast, and they use the samewords as found in Exo 28; describing his glorious (kavode) kingdom and hisexcellent (tipharah) majesty. Reading further, the colours used preparing thedécor for the feast similar to the colours of the Priestly garments and the Holy of

Holies except red.

YHVH’s Tabernacle and High Priest had Scarlet (shaniy), which came from dyemade from an insect called 'coccus ilicis’. The King used Red, that is the word“behat” that means “glisten or reflection”. Linking these two “red” colours fromthe story of Ester and the story of the Tabernacle reveals deeper insights.

Spiritual Application: We find wisdom within the differences between the

two colours, Scarlet, and Red. Red represents man’s efforts that are a merereflection of the real, and the Scarlet comes from an insect that had to die toproduce the colour. The Red and Scarlet both represent Blood, and the Redis man’s efforts trying to attain righteousness that is a mere reflection of theReal Blood, the Righteousness and work of Y’shua the Messiah.

Q – What is this Season all about and its connection between the Temple,YHVH hiding Himself and the persecution of the saints?

Personal Application : YHVH’s Presence was not tangible during theconstruction phase of the Tabernacle and was only filled with His Glory andPresence after the completion of the Tabernacle. This means that the hardtimes you are going through is the “construction phase” of your Tabernacle,and that is why YHVH seems to be distant and hidden during this time. AllowHim to complete His Dwelling Place so that His Tent of Meeting can beprepared and ready to contain Him. This “building of your Tabernacle” is on ayearly schedule that will be completed just before Passover every year.Every year He is constructing something new in you so that His Presenceand Glory can be more fully expressed through your life.

Esther is all about clothing, it continually talks about what people wear, and we know that clothing hides nakedness. We first readabout Mordechai’s clothing where he was clothed in sackcloth and

then in chapter 8:15 he is covered in royal appeal.Mordechai was wearing regular clothing, and it changed to sackclothafter he did a righteous deed. He kept on standing in the gap for hispeople before YHVH with his sackcloth clothing, and when YHVHstepped in when the breakthrough came, his clothing changed fromsackcloth to a royal appeal.

Personal Application : When you go through a tough time, stand fastthrough prayer, seek His Kingdom till He brings an outcome, then yourmourning will be changed to gladness and your clothing will change fromsackcloth to royal attire.

Mordechai placed YHVH’s righteousness first and then he was elevated to astature of royalty. This story of Mordechai is a beautiful picture behind thepassage found in the NT that talks about clothing and righteousness, Matt6:19-34; “…seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and allthese things will be added unto you…”

OfMordechai

Q – What does it mean to seek YHVH’s Kingdom?

If you read Matthew chapter 6 in relation to the story of Ester, you will see in thecharacter of Haman that he strived to become a ruler of the Kingdom, but he didit at the expense of the people. Mordechai, on the other hand, humbled himself

before YHVH and sought an outcome for the people. Everything he did was forthe sake of the people in the kingdom and YHVH elevated Him to a royal status.


8/12

The Kingdom is not something out there where YHVH is; the Kingdom is thepeople. If you seek and place the Kingdom (people) first, you will be likeMordechai, serving the people and seeking righteousness for their sakes, notfor yourself as Haman did. Our faith and living for YHVH are all about theKingdom, about the people that needed to be reached so that they can receiveYHVH’s Righteousness and become part of His Kingdom.

Clothed in Righteousness

Clothing as explained in the following verses depicts YHVH’s righteousness:

Rev 19:8 It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright andclean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Isaiah 61:10 I will rejoice greatly in YHVH, My soul will exult in my

Elohim; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He haswrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himselfwith a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Clothing symbolises your actions as well as your status before YHVH. Whenpeople look at you, they see your actions, just like they see your clothing. WhenYHVH looks at you, He sees your nakedness (sin), and He clothes you withGarments of Salvation and Robes of Righteousness. When you put peopleabove yourself and seek their benefit and not your own, then you will receivethe signet ring of the King, the position to rule alongside the King and receivewealth as a reward.

Q – What does it mean to be clothed with Salvation and Righteousness?When Adam and Eve sinned, YHVH took the skins ofanimals and made clothing to cover man’s nakedness orsin. The skin came from an animal that had to die to makea covering for man. This blood that flowed was the firstsacrifice conducted by YHVH and is a picture of the lattersacrifice He will conduct where Y’shua will be the Sacrifice.It is not only His blood that covered us, but we are alsoclothed with “His skin” like Adam and Eve were clothed byYHVH with the skins of animals. This is what it means tobe “in Him” or “in Messiah Y’shua”, to be clothed with His Righteousness that isY’shua.

The Menorah Pattern - Warning

Last week we saw the Menorah representing the Seven Festivals, the Lights,and Watchman on the Walls of Jerusalem. We also saw it representing theseven attributes of the Spirit of YHVH or the Seven-Step “Work of the Spirit”that brings us closer to YHVH and we have just seen the Menorah representingthe Word of YHVH as well. We also saw the Oil of the Olive enlightens (reveals)the “Prophetic Revelation” of future things to come that are hidden, all

connected to the Menorah.


9/12

We will now use the Menorah Pattern to reveal theprophetic truths regarding the Seven Churches found in theBook of Revelation. Each of these Churches has aLampstand or Menorah in their midst:

Ephesus - the church that had forsaken its first love.

Smyrna - the church that would suffer persecution. Pergamos - the church at Satan’s throne.

Thyatira - the church that had a false prophetess.

Sardis - the church that had fallen asleep.

Philadelphia - the church that had endured patiently.

Laodicea - the church with the lukewarm faith.

Five of the seven Churches received a rebuke; only Smyrna and Pergamos didnot. (Indicated in Green on the Menorah). One Church received a warning that theirLampstand will be removed (Ephesus) and one Church received a warning thatthey will be vomited out of YHVH’s mouth (Laodicea). (Indicated in Red on theMenorah).

Q - Why did they receive such and serious rebuke?

Ephesus was the Church who lost their first love for YHVH. The others had awarning regarding false teachers, having Jezebel in the midst of them andfalling asleep, but Ephesus received the most severe warning of them all andhas to do with their personal relationship with YHVH.

Last week we discussed how the Tabernacle Pattern could show you where youare in your relationship with YHVH, this is associated with the “Holy Place“where the Menorah was located. Losing your “first love” has to do with eitherbeing in the Outer Court, dwelling around the Brazen Altar or being inside the

Holy Place without a lit Menorah, dwelling there in the darkness.We have learned that what makes a Tabernacle an Ohel or Meeting Placebetween YHVH and man is the freshly squeezed Olive Oil in the Almondshaped cups that is found on the Menorah. This oil is used to provide Lightinside the Tabernacle that gives it meaning and purpose.

Personal Application - Ephesus: Looking at this from a personal point of viewshows us that we are the Tabernacle that needs the freshly squeezed oil withinus to light the Menorah to give meaning to our lives and make our bodies a HolyPlace worthy for YHVH to dwell in. It’s all about the oil. The Menorah is uselessif not lit and that is what the Church of Ephesus was lacking; the oil in their

Menorah. Their Holy place had all the furnishings but lacked the oil to give light.This oil represents “their first love” they lost, love for YHVH that made theirDwelling Place meaningful unto Him.

Your First Love is the passionate drive to “want to” serve YHVH. You have thisinternal drive to please Him with everything you do and have. This “oil” that youhave inside of you makes this love “burn brightly” inside of you. This is whatEphesus lost, the oil and zeal that once burned inside of them. If you do not useit, you will loose it and YHVH threatened to remove the Menorah that was oncefilled with oil because they did not use it anymore.

Laodicea is the last Church mentioned in Revelation and received a severe

warning because they became lukewarm and that caused YHVH to want tovomit them out of His mouth if they do not repent. To be lukewarm is the sameas losing your first love, connecting the first and last Churches, both indicated

on the outside of the Menorah Pattern. This gives us the insight that removingthe Lampstand is similar to being vomited out of YHVH’s mouth as aconsequence of this sin, that is, a Menorah without oil. The Menorah isconnected to oil and light, YHVH’s mouth is connected to His Word. This givesus the revelation that caused both to receive a severe rebuke; no oil – no lightand no Word.

Personal Application - Laodicea: The Menorah represents you, and it mightlook good in the daytime (good times), but has no use at night (times oftesting/tribulation) when you have no oil/light / Word. You Menorah can lookgood when you are amongst fellow believers, knowing and discussing theWord, but has no light when among people in the world (look and talk just likean unbeliever) when you have no oil in it. The Scripture is like the window, butthe Word of YHVH is the light that shines through it. You need the Menorah tohave the light, you need the window to have the light, and you need the oil(love) to generate the light. The Scripture is ink on paper that can be read orignored, it can be placed on a shelf where it collects dust, but the Word of

YHVH is the light that shines forth from your life as depicted by the Menorahfilled with oil or love of YHVH.

Q – How do I know if I really love YHVH?

Ask yourself why you do the things you do regarding your faith? What is yourmotive when you engage in YHVH’s things? Do you do it to be seen? Do you doit to get something in return? Do you do it to go to heaven and avoid eternalpunishment or do you do it because you love Him and expect nothing in return?These are the things we looked in Parashah 18 regarding the Four Guardians;the Renter, the Borrower, the Paid Guardian and the Unpaid Guardian. The

ultimate faith walk is the one who do not expect anything in return from YHVHbut serve Him out of love and free will; that is what it means to have a First LoveRelationship with YHVH.

Do you see how the Menorah Pattern helps to link the thoughts and revealsmore depth regarding the spiritual truth? What is Scary is that the 7th Churchrepresents the Last Church just before the Coming of Messiah and we have thesame warning as them, living in the End Times. We should be careful in ourrelationship with YHVH and examine ourselves to see if we dwell around theBrazen Altar, or do we have a real Personal Relationship with YHVH that is aFirst Love Relationship, perceived from His point of view.

Future Temple of YHVH

Y’shua was a representation of the Father in the Physical just like theTabernacle is a Physical Representation of Messiah Y’shua in the Spiritual. Hetold His Disciples; “…if you see me then you have seen the Father…” TheTabernacle is a prophetic shadow of the One Who is to come, and in the same

way, Y’shua is the One Who points to the Father Who is to Come. Thatis why He is known as “The Way” that leads to the Father. This is found

in Y’shua’s Name that can be broken down into two parts; “Yah”, that is ashort form of YHVH (the Father) and “shua” that means Salvation. Y’shua

literally means, “YHVH is Salvation”. Y’shua points to the Father as Salvationor the One you will meet at the end of your life as your Exceedingly GreatReward, as revealed in the Covenant promise to Abraham.

Q - How will we see the Father “Who is to come” ?

After the 1000 Year Millennium, the New Jerusalem will come down, and thatwill be the final Dwelling Place of YHVH the Father among His people. The NewJerusalem is a cube, just like the Holy of Holies is a cube, and this is where theFather will dwell with the Son in His Tabernacle on the earth with His Bride.

Rev 21:2-3,10,22,24 And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,coming down from Elohim out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned

for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of Heaven, saying,“Behold, the Tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and He will dwell withthem; and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be withthem and be their Elohim. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to agreat and high mountain and showed me that great city, the Holy

Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from Elohim, 22 And I saw noTemple therein, for YHVH El Shaddai and the Lamb are the Temple of it.

24 And the nations of them that are saved shall walk in the light of it, and

the kings of the earth bring their glory and honour into it.

The Bride will be gathered at the end of the Tribulation to celebrate and reignwith Y’shua for 1000 years over the earth while Satan is bound. Then after the1000 years, Satan will be released, deceive the people on the earth and then tryto attack Jerusalem. [Zec 14] Then YHVH will send fire from heaven and devourthe people attacking Jerusalem, and this is called the battle of Gog and Magog.[Rev 20:7-10] After that the New Jerusalem will come down so that YHVH canlive among His people in His Tabernacle. This is the event described in Rev 21where the City is called “the Bride” as well as “the Tabernacle of God”. So theBride will then come down to earth within the City, inside the Tabernacle with

the Father and the Son after the last battle and cleansing of the earth. Rev21:22 states that there is no Temple inside this City and the Father and the Son(YHVH and the Lamb) is the Temple and the City, which is the Tabernacle orDwelling Place of YHVH. That means that the Father and the Son and the Bridefrom the City or Tabernacle or Dwelling Place where we will live together inunity Echad. This is our Exceedingly Great Reward.

The End Time events can be looked at in context of the Menorah pattern withthe middle Branch representing the climax of YHVH’s restoration process that isdepicted by the 100y Year Sabbath or Millennium. Then we find a mirror image

of the events before and after to reveal the Fallen State and the Restored State.
