Have you ever gone looking for one thing (keys, glasses) only

to find something you werent looking for? A few days ago, I


was drawn to a topic in the bible, and while researching it; I
came across an unexpected word, SHADOW

I immediately thought of Psalm 91:1:

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain
stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [whose power
no foe can withstand]. Amp.

Then the next day, my friend Joan mentions in a portion of a


text, about a shadow and Psalm 91:4.

I then thought of the shadow mentioned in James 1:17. (I love


this verse in the Amplified)

Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from
above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in
[the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or
setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in a eclipse].

As you have just read, there seems to be a contradiction of


shadows. I want to first look into the shadow mentioned in
James.

This particular type of shadow speaks of shading, separation,


departure, obscuration...meaning camouflage, secrecy, hiding,
disguise, occultation.

That there is no variation or shadow of God speaks to the fact


that God does not conceal who He is, for He is revelation and
light.
The word occultation is all about blocking from view, or
blocking light, for example, during a full solar eclipse (Sept. 23,
2017) the moon will block the sun, casting its (moon) shadow
on earth.

I find all of this very interesting.

Now the word shadow in Psalm 91, speaks of defense, shade, of


hovering over, to tumble down or settle by a waving motion,
the idea of vibration.

Now what I share next might seem like a rabbit trail, but its
not. The topic I mentioned researching in my opening
paragraph is: Bezalel.

Bezalel is a name mentioned in the making of the Tabernacle in


Exodus 38:1-31, Bezalel made the burnt offering altar...its
horns...all the utensils and vessels...altar of bronze...the
poles...the laver and more. Bezalel...made all the Lord
commanded Moses.

Bezalels name means: shadow, protection of God, hovering


over, the idea of vibration...the same shadow mentioned in
Psalm 91. (I am thinking heavenly download!)

Also, Kevin Conner says, The scriptures clearly and distinctly


show that there is a True and Heavenly Sanctuary of which the
earthly or worldly Sanctuary was but the shadow. That which
Moses built by the pattern of God was a mere copy or outline of
things in the Heavens.

I have a strong prophetic sense that you will hear name Bezalel
more and more, for I believe he is a type or shadow of the
wisdom and understanding needed for the Kingdom of Heaven
to be established, for as we can see, there is a shadow that
conceals, or a shadow that reveals the sons of God in the earth.

A parting thought, I find it amazing that along side Bezalel was


a man named Aholiab, meaning: tent of his father.

My best,
Linda
