The Significance of the Priestly Garments | Episode 13

There are so many things in Scripture that teach us the significance of the priestly garments, especially the garments of the High Priest, who is Yahusha now. As we walk through Episode 13, I hope that you will be able to see how, just the like Tabernacle, how these garments also point to the priesthood of our Messiah!
How is this relevant to His new priesthood (us) today?
Well, one of the most significant pieces was the turban of the High Priest. In Exodus 28:36, we read that there was a gold plate sewn on the front of the turban of the High Priest with the engraving “QODESH LA YAHUAH,” which means “SET APART TO YAHUAH.”
Yahuah’s name was to always be placed on the forehead of the High Priest. This was a sign of how the High Priest was set-apart to Yah. And through the blessing pronounced by the High Priest (because he was the appointed mediator between Yahuah and the children of Israel), Yahuah also placed His Name on the children of Israel.
Numbers 6:24-27 - “Yahuah bless you, and keep you. Yahuah make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. Yahuah lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
This was a priestly blessing.
Yahusha, our new High Priest, is authorized to mediate this blessing, just as the Levitical High Priest was. To be blessed by Yahuah is to have His NAME placed on you. It is more than just a name—it is to be identified with and be a representation of who He is.
The High Priest carried Yahuah’s name and he also carried the names of the 12 tribes as 12 stones were put on the breastplate of his garment. The High Priest was always Yahuah’s representative to Israel and Israel’s mediator before Yahuah.
Comparatively, Israel carried Yahuah’s name into the world and represented the Most High to the nations. What made Israel set apart from everyone else is that they had commandments that showed the world who they worshipped. We are to be representatives of who our Creator is, to be a light to the world, and to be in covenant with Him means that we have commandments that help us to be successful in our calling.
When Yahuah was revealing His Name to me, I read the passage in Exodus 28 about how the gold plate which had Yah’s Name on it was placed on Aaron’s forehead, and the Ruach literally took me straight to the Book of Revelation.
Revelation 14:1 - Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.
Revelation 22:4 - They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
Our new High Priest is authorized to mediate this blessing now, to place the Father’s name on His children. He said He “came in His Father’s Name” for a reason.
2 Timothy 2:19 - Nevertheless the solid foundation of Elohim stands, having this seal: “The Master knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Messiah depart from iniquity.”
“Yahusha” means “Yahuah is salvation.” Every time the Messiah’s Name departs from your lips, you are confessing that Yahuah is your salvation. And Yahusha was sent to do the will of the Father.
The priestly garments teach us how important the Father’s Name is.
And if you didn’t already know, the woman riding on the beast in Revelation 17 had a name on HER forehead too:
And on her forehead a name was written: “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
Let’s study.
