type or shadow is an imperfect earthly “resemblance” of a perfect heavenly
“substance,” which can only be perceived by faith (Heb 11:1). You are a
type or shadow of Jesus Christ. The cloud is in heaven, its shadow is on
earth. Which is real? SISERA, CAPTAIN
OF THE HOST
(Judg
4:1-3) And the children of Israel
again did
evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud [united]
was dead. And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin
[intelligent, one who is perceptive,
(type of Satan)] king of Canaan [merchant,
trader, trafficker (perverted works - Gomorrah)], that reigned in Hazor
[enclosure, village surrounded with
walls (fortress)]; the captain of
whose host was Sisera [type
of the antichrist], which dwelt in
Harosheth [mechanical
work: carving, cutting /// worker (industrial fabricator)]
of the Gentiles [foreign nation:
heathens (the unsaved)]. And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for
he [Sisera]
had nine hundred chariots of iron
[i.e. wheels - a natural (sin) counterfeit of the nine spiritual gifts of the
Holy Spirit (1 Cor 12:8-10)]; and
twenty years he mightily oppressed
[pressed, i.e. distressed:--afflicted,
crushed, forced, thrust self (mightily)] the
children of Israel. DEBORAH NO HEAD: NO MAN IN COMMAND = NO COVERING = NO PEACE(Judg
4:4,5) And
Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time
[during that twenty year period].
And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between
Ramah [a
height (as a seat of idolatry): high place] and
Bethel [house of God] in mount
Ephraim [double fruit /// another
name for Bethlehem]: and the children of Israel came up to her for
judgment [i.e. between idolatry and
godliness]. 1.
Deborah = Heb: (in the sense of orderly motion); the bee (from its
systematic instincts):--bee. 2.
prophetess = Heb: a prophetess or inspired woman; by impl. a poetess;
by association a prophet's wife. 3.
Lapidoth = Heb: to shine; a flambeau, lamp or flame:--(fire-) brand,
(burning) lamp, lightning, torch. 4.
the covering over a prophetess = Miriam
by Aaron – brother: Ex 15:20; Deborah
by Lapidoth –husband: Judg 4:4; Huldah
by Shallum – husband: 2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chr 34:22); Noahiah
by none – false prophetess: Neh 6:14); Anna
by Phanuel – father: Luke 2:36; Jezebel
by none – false prophetess: Rev 2:20). BARAK (Judg
4:6,7) And she sent and called Barak
the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali,
and said unto him [prophesying –
inspired speaking – a type of the Holy Spirit], Hath not the LORD God of
Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount
Tabor [broken region], and take
with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali [my
wrestling] and of the children of Zebulun [habitation
/// dwelling]? And I will draw unto thee to the
river Kishon [winding /// to set a
trap: lay a snare] Sisera [the
antichrist], the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his
multitude; and I will deliver him
into thine hand [power].
1.
Barak = Heb: lightning; a gleam; concr. a
flashing sword: bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. 2.
(Mat 24:26,27) Wherefore
if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold,
he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as
the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of the Son of
man be. 3.
Abi-noam = Heb: father
& of pleasantness (i.e. gracious) /// agreeableness, delight,
suitableness, splendor or grace:--beauty, pleasant (-ness). 4.
Kedeshnaphtali = Heb: a sanctum
[Dict: a sacred or holy place] ///
to be (make, pronounce or observe as) clean (ceremonially or
morally):--appoint, bid, consecrate, dedicate, hallow, (be, keep) holy (-er,
place), keep, prepare, proclaim, purify, sanctify (-ied one, self), X wholly. (Judg
4:8,9) And Barak
[a type of Jesus Christ] said unto
her [Deborah: a type of the Holy
Spirit], If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt
not go with me, then I will not go. And she said [prophesying
– inspired speaking], I will
surely go with thee: notwithstanding the
journey that thou takest shall
not be for thine honour [how true];
for the LORD shall sell Sisera [the
antichrist] into the hand [power]
of a woman [the
future bride of Christ]. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to
Kedesh [the
sanctum – a type of Heaven]. 1.
(Isa 53:3) He is despised
and rejected of men [nailed on the
cross]; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were
our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed
him not. 2.
(Heb 11:32) And what shall
I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak,
and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets: (Judg
4:10) And
Barak called [come
(out) with such a company] Zebulun and Naphtali [type
of the 144,000 – firstfruits company; sixth seal Rev 6&7] to
Kedesh [a type of Heaven]; and
he went up [ascended] with ten
thousand men at his feet [coming;
foot (stool)]: and Deborah
went up [ascended] with him.
(Judg
4:11-14) Now Heber
[associate] the
Kenite [a Gentile tribe], which
was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had
severed himself [separated
himself] from the Kenites [metalsmiths
(fabricators of the chariots of iron?)], and pitched his tent unto the
plain of Zaanaim [wanderings (a
type of the undecided – wandering between the Kenites and Kadesh)],
which is by
Kedesh [type of Heaven]. And
they showed [told] Sisera that
Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount
Tabor [brokenness]. And Sisera [in
much pride] gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred
chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from
Harosheth [mechanical work:
carving, cutting /// worker] of
the Gentiles [foreign nation:
heathens (the unsaved)] unto the river
of [i.e. waters of] Kishon
[winding /// to set a trap: lay a
snare]. And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the
LORD hath delivered Sisera [the
antichrist] into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee?
So Barak went down [descended]
from mount Tabor [brokenness],
and ten thousand men after him. 1.
(1 Ki 18:20,21) So Ahab
sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto
mount Carmel. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How
long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him:
but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 2.
(Jude 1:14,15) And Enoch
also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the
Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment
upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly
deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches
which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (Judg
4:15,16) And the
LORD discomfited [destroyed] Sisera
[the antichrist], and all his
chariots, and all his host, with the
edge of the sword before Barak
[type of Jesus Christ]; so that
Sisera lighted down off his
chariot, and fled away on his feet. But Barak
pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth
[mechanical work: carving, cutting ///
worker] of the Gentiles
[unsaved]: and all the host of
Sisera fell upon the edge of the
sword; and there was not a man
left. 1.
(Rev 19:11-16) And I saw
heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness he
doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head
were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The
Word of God. And the armies
which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean. And out of his mouth
goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he
shall rule them with a
rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Amen
