We have shown already
that the moth represents a contrast
between Moses and Jesus---Law and grace. (And thus the connection to mount
Zion and mount Sinai). Yet we are missing a very important piece of
information here. The moth is actually cocooned upon a branch (a Messianic
term, by the way), and the branch is actually a beam in the tabernacle! The
moth is upon the beam with the curtain/covering overtop the tabernacle. We
know this because the many measurements of the moth code match
precisely the tabernacle curtain measurements.
(See www.tabernacle-temple-time.org. I realized that the dimensions of the moth and the tabernacle curtain were
the same a week after I put out the tabernacle web site! This
was a sign to me since I had found the moth-code (on Tishri 10, 2002) 6 months before
putting out the tabernacles web site! Virtually the entire site is devoted to the measurements
of this very curtain---a curtain that I had already found as a code but did
not realize it at the time. Moreover, it was around the start of the SARS
outbreak here in Toronto when God opened my mind to the tabernacle curtains,
and with unusual speed it was up and running the 25th of March, 2003---8
days after SARS began here in Toronto.)
Remember,
Moses received the instructions for the tabernacle upon mount Sinai.
It was to be a model of the heavenly one. The dimensions of the curtains
in the code are exact! Hence, the symbol of a wasting moth upon the
fabric of the curtains of the tabernacle takes on foreboding symbolism. Judgment
is clearly being portrayed. First on Christ--the sin bearing substitute, and
then against all that reject His perfect sacrifice. Thus there is indeed a
connection between the moth and the mountain from whence the tabernacle dimensions
were revealed to Moses. Moreover, the name of Moses repeated a number of
times is what forms the wings of the moth.
Moreover, the midpoint of the code---600 letters to
center of the moth (and sacrifice of Isaac) also marks the spot where the veil that hung
between the Holy and the Holy of Holies was. (There was
600 square cubits of goat's-hair material used for the Most Holy Place, and 600 for
the Holy Place, (etc.). The bible says that when Jesus died (Passover),
the veil was rent in two, (Matt. 27:51). The book of Hebrew says that this
veil was symbolic of Jesus body being torn on the cross, (Heb. 10:20).

aspect of the moth code.)
Whoever believes on Jesus for salvation
enters freely right into the heavenly Most Holy Place in the spirit. Full
fellowship with God is restored---the dividing curtain is removed for
those who are washed in His blood, and who thereby personally partake in His
death and resurrection by faith in His blood. They are saved, not by the works of
the Law, for by the Law comes the knowledge of sin. The Law is good, but its
purpose was to expose our sin, whereby we know we need a Savior---who is
Jesus the Lord. "For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten
son, that whosever believes on him should no perish, but have eternal
life," (John 3:16). Jesus said, "You must be born again," (John
3). We are lowly like the worm, but if we will believe on Jesus, in Him
and by Him we are transformed into a new creation. Free as a butterfly,
if you are willing.
