The Mezuzah

The Mezuzah

The day is fast approaching when the United States of America will be judged. There is a day fast approaching when God’s judgment will pass through the land of America. This judgment will consist of plagues, death and famine. When that day comes we as believers want to make sure that we are spiritually under the Word of God and walking a faithful walk and covered under the blood of Jesus; thus, when destruction comes to America it will Passover those of us who have prepared ourselves with the Word of God. 

Now, let’s take a look at the Mezuzah. The Hebrew word, “Mezuzah” translates as “doorpost,” and refers to the handwritten parchment scroll within. Some mistakenly refer to the Mezuzah as the case which holds the scroll. However, it is the scroll within the case which states the following scripture:

Deuteronomy 6:4, 5, 9, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD they God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.”

Throughout the Bible we see our heavenly Father giving us pertinent instructions as a sign of our faithful devotion to Him.  So many times we as believers and followers of Jesus read right over a passage and do not completely understanding the message given to us.

As we read in Exodus 12:12, 13, 23 “For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.”

The Israelites who had the blood on the posts were spared from the destroyer. As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. Our heavenly Father does not do differently from what He has done in the past. Some of our actions might be slightly different since Jesus became our sacrifice; however, the Word still stands.

 

Today, we will not use the blood of an animal because Jesus became our blood. Thus, we will not use the blood of an animal during God’s judgment on the land, for His word, Deuteronomy 6:4, 5 also referred to as the Shema, is the representation of the blood of Jesus and our faith in Him.

Have you ever wondered why certain homes get destroyed in a storm and others are left fully intact?! As if the storm destroyed the house on the left, the house on the right, the house in the front and the house behind them, and passed over their home. This isn’t a coincidence by far there’s a reason why certain homes are passed over during a storm.

As we take time and read our Father’s Words He said, “…write them upon thy posts…” many have been lead to believe that there is a certain type of way this has to be written and only can be written by a certain scribe and it has to be on a certain type of parchment paper, handwritten with a certain type of ink, placed in a case to fulfill the commandment and affixed at an angle.

This ownership of how those things not mentioned in the Bible should be, has really gotten out of hand; thus, becoming more traditionalized than anything else. Which is exactly what Jesus was trying to steer us away from—yes, man’s traditions. These traditions sound more like the work of the Pharisees rather than followers of Jesus the Christ. The commandment states, “…write them upon thy posts…”

There are also some who pass through a doorway where a Mezuzah has been affixed glances at it, then touches it, and some kiss their finger tips and then touch the Mezuzah as a reminder throughout the day that God is always with them.

I don’t remember reading any of that in scriptures. God never told us to do any of that. Those are simply mere traditions of man making it appear that a certain group or individual has authority, is favored, or knows more than those who faithfully love our Father and His Son, and read the Word, try to live according to the Word and know for a fact that God is with them and loves them.

Now some of you may have thought, “But those instructions were for the Israelites only.” Let me assure you, that if you are a follower of Jesus the Christ then the above instructions are for you as well. For two reasons: If you are a believer that makes you spiritual Israel and number two: in these final days our Father is saving a remnant of His chosen people.

Nobody knows for sure if they are the remnant of Israel. Many have speculated; however, we know from Revelation 2:9 that many claim to be Jews and in fact they are not. “I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.”

This verse says quite a lot; for there aren’t many nationalities saying with authority that they are Jews. This will be quite interesting when we discover who in fact the real Jews are. For we know from this verse that the ones claiming to be Jews are not. And because the Book of Revelation is not a typical book that most Christians will gravitate to; therefore, this verse gets overlooked.

If you have chosen to have the Mezuzah on your door posts as a sign of your faithful love and walk with our heavenly Father and His Son Jesus the Christ what a marvelous and righteous decision you have made.

Contrary to popular belief, the writing on the posts does not necessarily designate the house as Jewish but rather as believers in the Holy Bible, and as believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and as believers in Jesus the Christ no matter what nationality you are.

If you prefer to write the scripture yourself on the paper of your choice, that is fine. If you prefer to decorate your own Mezuzah demonstrating your devotion and your walk in the faith, that is fine as well. If you choose to order a Mezuzah, that is fine too. If you choose to literally write the passages on your door posts and on your gates, that is fine also. As long as your faith and customs coincide with the Word of God and not man’s traditions who has the authority to say otherwise.

Let your light shine with all diligence and faith covered under the blood of Jesus the Christ.
