As I read through this Parashas

On this Sabbath of Tetzaveh, two Torah portion are read: Tetzaveh which means “you will command” and Ki Tetze “when you take”. Tetzaveh represents ABBA YAHVEH ongoing description on building the physical and spiritual Tabernacle. While Ki Tetze is called the Zachor, which means to remember.

Meaning we must remember ABBA YAHWEH ongoing desire to build a spiritual temple in the flesh of every human being.

This portion is the 20^th and the 21^st portion in the Torah Cycle, it is always read on the Sabbath before Purim. The story of Purim describe Haman, the Prime minister of King Achashverosh of Persia, who cast lots to establish the best way to wipe out the Yisraelites. Haman is the code word for everything negativity in our lives.

On this Sabbath of Tetzaveh, ABBA YAHVEH is asking Moses which is a form of Messiyah Yahushua to come and help us choose the consciousness of Purim, the victory over the children of darkness of the Amalek.

On the Sabbath of Tetzaveh the Holy Spirit will help to guide us between the consciousness of Purim and Amalek. The spirit of Purim is the removal of uncertainty from our lives, and Amalek is doubting.

Will we allow our faith in Messiyah Yahushua to bring more light or will we allow the negative spirit of Amalek to bring more darkness in our lives? These are the choices available to us on this Sabbath as we prepare for Purim.

This is why, when we read the additional portion of Zachor at the end of this Torah reading of Tetzaveh, we receive special assistance from the Holy Spirit in these areas of our lives.

This is the only Sabbath of the Torah Cycle when Moses a type of Messiyah comes with a gift to help us overcome the flesh, whether we earn it or not. Messiyah gives us the ability to allow us to replace the darkness of doubt with the clarity of faith.

Tetzaveh is the only Torah Portion that does not mention Moses by name. Some people believe that this was in response to Moses request when he said “If you do not forgive them, I will have no part of your plans.” You can even erase me from YOUR Book, and in response to this challenge, the CREATOR had to erase Moses from one of the Torah Portion, and Tetzaveh is that Book.

On the Sabbath of Tetzaveh, the spirit of Moses, which is MessiYah Yahushua, opens up the gates so we can experience ultimate fulfillment. He also shows us the two things we must do to connect to this unending fulfillment during the rest of the Torah Cycle. We as believers or children of Light, we must awaken our desire to accept greater responsibility, and we must make every sacrifice necessary to lived up to that responsibility.

This Torah portion deals almost exclusively with the Kohanim, the Priest: Their selection, their vestments, and the inauguration service by means of which they and their offspring would become confirmed for all time as the special ministers of EL YAHVEH.

Having completed the commandments regarding the actual construction of the Tabernacle, the process by which perfection is attained; the Torah now turns to those who will perform the service at the different Altars, the Mighty Hand of YAHVEH, the Five Fold Ministry. It begins by teaching that the oil for the Menorah (Holy Spirit) must be absolutely pure. Without any mixture of a foreign substances or even olive sediments.

This requirement of absolute purity is a fitting prelude to the selection of Aaron and his sons as Kohanim, for they too, must remain pure and separate from the rest of the nation, in the sense that they may not permit unauthorized people to take part in the service.

Exo 27:20  "You are to order the people of Yisra'el to bring you pure oil of pounded olives for the light, and to keep the Menorah burning continually. - The commands up to now was to build the various parts of the Tabernacle, now Moses is been instructed to convey the instruction to those who would do the work, but he had no personal involvement with the task. The Tabernacle is nothing more than visible Words, as The Torah is the written Words, the Tabernacle and it contents are visible words. Every item in the Tabernacle describe a particular principle in Torah. Every principle we are told to perform, brings more light into our lives when we proform them. By proforming these principles we are in essence bring Heavens to Earth, or more light to our area of influence.

The three command:

a. The preparation of the oil;

b. The designation of the Kohim;

c. The selection of the wise and talented men who would make the vestments and build the Tabernacle.

The importance of these three commandments is that the oil represents the anointing of the seven Spirit of the Menorah. The Kohanim “Priesthood” are the living embodiment of the role of the fivefold ministry, the Mighty Hand of YAHVEH. The constructions of the vestments in which the Kohanim serve demonstrate Yisrael’s capacity to elevate human activity to a Divine level.

In the wilderness, olive tree were not available, the oil had to be bought from trading or oil that was taken during the exodus from Egypt. That oil had to be brought to Moses for his inspection, to certify that it was of the essential quality.

The oil for lighting had to be pressed rather than crushed, this oil had to be absolute pure, without any olive particles or sediment. Even though such impurities could be filtered out later on, the sense of the verse is that the oil had to be absolutely pure from the start. This oil represent the same principle of the best of the best, the first 10%.

Therefore, the oil was made by pressing each olive against each other gently, until one drop of pure oil emerged. Afterwards, the olive could be crushed and the remaining oil used for the meal offering. This oil is for Aaron and His sons to used.
