The Everlasting Inheritance

The Spirit and the Bride Say, “Come”

The City Abraham Was Waiting For

As I sat quietly reflecting on everything Abba YAHUAH had revealed throughout this remarkable journey, I could not help but smile at the extraordinary way He had led us. Looking back, I realized that every step had been carefully orchestrated by His loving hand.

What first appeared to be an ordinary piece of purple lint hanging in a thorn bush at the foot of a mountain had become the beginning of one of the most profound journeys through His Word that I have ever experienced.

I still remember measuring that little piece of purple lint. It was exactly forty-four centimeters long and immediately, Romans 4:4 came to my heart. At that moment I had no idea where that Scripture would lead. I certainly never imagined that what began with Romans 4:4 would eventually find its completion in Part 4 of this series. Only YAHUAH could weave together such a magnificent tapestry.

The morning after completing the prophetic commission on the mountain, He quietly drew my attention once again and that following day I found four ten-cent coins. Again the FOUR. Over the years, these little coins have often reminded me of the governmental authority YAHUAH entrusts me as I walk in obedience.

This time they carried the image of the bee, reminding me of Deborah and the courage of those who faithfully stand in the battles appointed to them. Yet it was not merely the image that captured my attention—it was the number. Four coins, immediately after a commission centred around the four gates, the four directions, the Chief Cornerstone, and the Door.

As I looked back over the entire journey, I realized that none of these details had become the foundation of the teaching. They simply became the gentle invitations that caused me to open my Bible again and search more deeply.

Like a loving Father leading His child on a treasure hunt, YAHUAH had left little reminders along the path….not so that I would become fascinated by the clues themselves, but so that they would lead me back to the greatest treasure of all: His Truth, His heart, and the unfathomable riches hidden within His Word.

With that thought still filling my heart, I opened the final chapters of Revelation.

What I discovered there left me speechless.

For days I had been walking alongside Abraham through the Scriptures, watching him leave everything familiar, journey through a land that was never truly his home, dwell in tents as a stranger, and patiently wait for a promise that stretched far beyond his earthly lifetime.

The more I reflected upon his life, the more I realized that Abraham’s greatest inheritance had never been measured by the borders of Canaan. His heart had always been fixed upon something infinitely greater.

The writer of Hebrews tells us that “he was looking for the city having foundations, whose Builder and Maker is YAHUAH” (Hebrews 11:10). Those words had remained with me ever since I first read them. I could not simply move past them and if Abraham spent his entire life looking for this City, then surely the Scriptures must eventually reveal it.

The question echoed quietly within me: Did Abraham ever see, by faith, what John would later see with his own eyes?

With that thought filling my heart, I opened the Book of Revelation. What happened next took my breath away.

John writes:

“And I, Yoḥanan, saw the set-apart city, renewed Yerushalayim, coming down out of the heaven from YAHUAH, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.“ (Revelation 21:2)

I sat in silence for a long while. The City Abraham had spent his life waiting for…John now saw descending from heaven. Abraham saw it through the eyes of faith and John saw it through the vision given to him by YAHUAH. One believed the promise and the other witnessed its fulfilment, yet both were looking toward the very same destination that the Father had been preparing from the very beginning.

As I reflected on this beautiful connection, another thought gently settled into my heart. Throughout this journey, YAHUAH had repeatedly been enlarging our understanding of His promises.

First, He led us to Romans 4:4, where we learned that His blessings are never earned as wages, but are received by grace through faith. Then He expanded the promise in Romans 4:13, revealing that Abraham would become “heir of the kosmos.” Hebrews lifted our eyes beyond the land of Canaan and showed us that Abraham’s heart was fixed upon an everlasting City. Now, in Revelation, that City finally came into view.

It was as though the entire Bible had been telling one magnificent story all along.

Genesis planted the promise, Romans explained the promise, Hebrews revealed the heart that embraced the promise and Revelation unveiled the fulfilment of the promise.

Only YAHUAH could weave together such a masterpiece.

As I continued reading, I found myself smiling at the remarkable faith of Abraham. He never saw the completed City with his natural eyes, he never walked through its gates and he never stood beside the River of Life, yet none of that weakened his confidence, because his faith was never rooted in what he could see. His confidence rested entirely in the faithfulness of the One who had spoken.

Perhaps that is the invitation YAHUAH is extending to each one of us today.

Our circumstances may still look temporary and we may still find ourselves living in tents of one kind or another, journeying through seasons that remind us how fragile this present world truly is. Yet, just like Abraham, we are invited to trust the Promise Keeper more than the visible circumstances surrounding us.

As I closed my eyes for a moment, I quietly thanked Abba YAHUAH. What had begun with a simple piece of purple lint hanging in a thorn bush had now led us to the very closing pages of Scripture. Step by step, He had unfolded His Word, not to satisfy our curiosity, but to draw us heart closer to His own. But as breathtaking as the City appeared, I sensed that YAHUAH was gently whispering another truth to my heart.

The City was not the greatest treasure.….There was something even more glorious waiting to be discovered.

The Greatest Treasure

As I continued reading through Revelation, I found myself captivated by the beauty of everything John was seeing. The descriptions were unlike anything the human mind could ever have imagined. The renewed Jerusalem descended out of heaven from YAHUAH, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

John describes walls of jasper, gates of pearl, streets of transparent gold, the River of the Water of Life and the Tree of Life bearing fruit in every season. Every detail speaks of perfection, holiness and the immeasurable splendour of the Kingdom that YAHUAH has prepared for His people.

For a moment, I simply allowed myself to stand with John and marvel at the beauty of what he was seeing. Then, almost unexpectedly, one particular verse captured my attention and everything else seemed to fade into the background.

John writes:

“And I heard a loud voice from the heaven saying, ‘See, the Booth of YAHUAH is with men, and He shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and YAHUAH Himself shall be with them and be their Aluah.’“ (Revelation 21:3)

I read those words again. Then again. Suddenly I realized that the greatest promise in Revelation was not the City. It was not the streets of gold, it was not the gates of pearl and it was not even the absence of death, sorrow or pain.

The greatest promise was found in five remarkable words:

“YAHUAH Himself shall be with them.”

Everything else suddenly found its proper place.

The City is magnificent because HE IS THERE.

The River of Life flows because HE IS THERE.

The Tree of Life flourishes because HE IS THERE.

The glory that fills the City is not produced by the City itself……,

It is the glory of YAHUAH

As I reflected on this, my thoughts returned once again to Abraham. Hebrews tells us that he was looking for the City whose Builder and Maker is YAHUAH. For many years I naturally assumed that Abraham’s longing was centered on the City itself, bet perhaps his longing reached even deeper than that. Perhaps what drew Abraham forward throughout his entire life was not simply the place YAHUAH was preparing, but the everlasting fellowship that awaited him there with the ONE who had called him.

Suddenly, the words of Romans 4:13 took on an even greater significance.

“For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Torah, but through the righteousness of faith.” (Romans 4:13)

As we discovered in the previous part, the word translated “world” is the Greek word κόσμος (kosmos), describing an ordered and beautifully arranged creation. Paul was not reducing Abraham’s inheritance to a geographical location. Under the inspiration of the Ruach HaKodesh, he was enlarging it far beyond the borders of Canaan.

Yet even the kosmos is not the final destination. The kosmos itself points beyond itself. Just as Canaan pointed to the heavenly City, the heavenly City points to the everlasting presence of YAHUAH and perhaps that is why YAHUAH first brought Abraham outside his tent before speaking the promise.

“Look now toward the heavens…“ (Genesis 15:5).

He was gently lifting Abraham’s eyes higher. Then Paul enlarged the promise. Hebrews enlarged Abraham’s understanding and John unveiled the City and now Revelation gently lifts our eyes one final time. Not toward the City… but toward the One who dwells within it and as I quietly sat with these thoughts, another Scripture came to my heart.

Paul writes:

“But, as it has been written, ‘Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what YAHUAH has prepared for those who love Him.'” (1 Corinthians 2:9)

How often I had read those words while imagining the beauty of heaven, but now I found myself wondering whether Paul’s words reach even further. John was graciously given a vision of the renewed Jerusalem.

Through the Scriptures, YAHUAH has even allowed us to glimpse its beauty, but can the fullness of dwelling forever in the unveiled presence of our Creator truly be captured by human language? I do not believe so and perhaps that is exactly what Paul is reminding us of.

No matter how magnificent the City appears, there still remains a depth to the Father’s love, His glory and His presence that no human eye has yet fully seen, no ear has completely heard and no heart has fully comprehended.

As that thought settled into my spirit, I quietly closed my eyes and simply worshipped. For perhaps the greatest inheritance awaiting the Bride is not something prepared for her, but perhaps the greatest inheritance is the everlasting privilege of being with YAHUAH Himself.

Home

As I reached the final chapter of Revelation, I realised that my heart was no longer searching for more information. The deeper I had journeyed into the Scriptures, the more I understood that YAHUAH had never been inviting me merely to discover something new. He had been drawing me into something much greater. What began as a study of Romans 4 had quietly become an invitation to know the heart of the One who wrote every page of His Word.

John continues his vision with these breathtaking words:

“And they shall see His face, and His Name shall be upon their foreheads.” (Revelation 22:4)

I quietly laid my Bible down for a moment. Those words seemed to contain everything the human heart has ever longed for. “His Name shall be on their foreheads” is truly an extraordinary teaching for another day but what I saw this time, draw my attention to this final part:

“…they shall see His face.”

From the beginning of Scripture, mankind has desired to dwell once again in the unhindered presence of our Creator. Sin separated us and the prophets longed for restoration.

Abraham walked by faith, Moses desired to see His glory and David cried, “One matter I have asked of יהוה… to behold the pleasantness of יהוה” (Psalm 27:4). Every generation of the faithful has been looking toward that same glorious hope.

Now, at the very end of the Scriptures, the promise is fulfilled. Not merely that we will enter a beautiful City or that we will receive an everlasting inheritance, but that we shall finally behold the face of the One who has loved us from before the foundation of the world.

As I reflected upon these things, I realized that perhaps this has been the Father’s desire from the very beginning. Every promise, every covenant, every sacrifice, every prophet, every mountain, every wilderness, every act of redemption and every page of Scripture has been leading toward one magnificent reality:

YAHUAH desires to dwell with His people.

Everything else flows from that and perhaps that is why the closing invitation of the Bible is so deeply moving.

“And the Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ And he who hears, let him say, ‘Come!’ And he who thirsts, come! And he who desires it, take the water of life without paying!” (Revelation 22:17).

As I read those words, my thoughts suddenly returned to where this entire journey had begun.

YAHUAH first brought Abraham outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens…” (Genesis 15:5). How beautiful….The Father’s invitation begins with, “Look up”…. Then Scriptures close with,

“Come.”

Between those two invitations lies the entire story of redemption and between those two invitations lies every promise believed, every mountain climbed, every wilderness crossed, every tear shed, every act of sanctification and every step of faith.

It is the story of a Father gently teaching His children to lift their eyes above the temporary so that, one day, they may finally come Home.

As I looked back over this remarkable journey, I could only stand in awe of the extraordinary way Abba YAHUAH had led us. It all began with a small piece of purple lint hanging in a thorn bush after completing a prophetic commission on a mountain.

I later measured it and discovered that it was exactly forty-four centimeters long. That simple detail immediately drew my attention to Romans 4:4, and from there the Scriptures began unfolding like a magnificent tapestry before my eyes. Looking back now, I cannot help but smile as I realize that the very journey born from Romans 4:4 has found its completion in Part 4.

Then came the four gates, the four directions, the Chief Cornerstone, the Door, and the four coins that quietly lay along my path the following day. Each one gently drew my attention back to the Scriptures, where the Ruach HaKodesh patiently unfolded another thread of His eternal purposes.

I have learned that YAHUAH truly is a Father of astonishing detail. Nothing escapes His attention, but I have also learned that His ways are infinitely higher than my own understanding. No book, no commentary, no amount of human knowledge can ever contain the fullness of who He is.

In His wisdom, He knows exactly how to lead each of His children. Sometimes He speaks through the quiet whisper of His Ruach or sometimes He draws our attention to an ordinary detail that causes us to open the Scriptures once again and sometimes He even simply asks us to stop, to notice, and to seek Him a little deeper.

Like a loving Father leading His child on a treasure hunt, He leaves little reminders along the path….not so that we become fascinated by the clues themselves, but so that they lead us back to the greatest Treasure of all: His Truth, His heart and the unfathomable riches hidden within His Word.

The clues were never the treasure. They simply led me to the Treasure.

The purple lint did not reveal a new truth, it simply led me back to eternal truths that had been waiting in the Scriptures all along.

What began with a small piece of purple lint at the foot of a mountain became a journey through the oracles of YAHUAH, revealing that His greatest treasure was never hidden in the lint, the mountain, or even the inheritance itself.

His greatest treasure has always been His own heart, lovingly unveiled through His Word to those who seek Him.

May we never become so captivated by the blessings of YAHUAH that we lose sight of the Blesser and may we never become so fascinated by the inheritance that we forget the Inheritor. May we never stop lifting our eyes until the day when faith becomes sight… and the Spirit and the Bride say,

“Come.”

King of Glory, Abba YAHUAH,

What words could ever be enough to thank You for the riches You have hidden within Your Word? Thank You for patiently leading us, teaching us, correcting us and lovingly drawing us closer to Your heart.

Thank You that every promise You have spoken is trustworthy, every step of our journey is known to You, and every thread of our lives rests securely in Your hands.

Father, keep our eyes lifted above the temporary things of this world. Guard our hearts from becoming attached to what is passing away, and awaken within us a deeper longing for Your presence than for anything You could ever place into our hands.

Father, teach us to walk as faithful pilgrims, to trust You as Abraham trusted You, and to follow Yahushua HaMashiach with unwavering devotion until the day we stand before You.

May our greatest joy never be the inheritance itself, but the everlasting privilege of dwelling with You. Continue to reveal Your heart through Your Word, and may our lives become living testimonies that point others, not to ourselves, but to You alone.

We love You, Abba YAHUAH, we worship You and we adore You.

In the beautiful Name of Yahushua HaMashiach, our Chief Cornerstone, our Door, our Redeemer and our coming King. HalleluYAH!

To the King of Glory, the Promise Keeper, the Creator of the kosmos, be all the glory, all the honour, and all the praise, forever and ever.

HALLELUYAH! 💜
