Yeshua Our Shalom and the Final Nun

Although we will face trials and tribulations, we can have great comfort and security in the fact that Yeshua is our shalom in this world. As the Master so plainly proclaimed, "These things I've spoken to you that in me you may have shalom. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer. He has overcome the world." We will now move on to the final noon, which is the same scripture for the bent noon and the final noon. In Acts 2:22-24, it says, "Men of Israel, hear these words. Yeshua of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him in your midst."

From right to left, the bent noon, the humble servant Yeshua, and then the upright noon, the one crowned as the righteous one. In our previous devotional, we discovered the first form of noon, which symbolizes a seed, meaning life and activity. May we be active for the kingdom of Elohim like a fish multiplying and swimming rapidly as we share the good news, the gospel, to everyone we encounter, which is the great commission. May we always remember the ultimate bent noon, Yeshua, and his amazing free gift of salvation. He is our jubilee because freedom and liberty only come through him. May we also receive the double portion of spiritual perfection as we continue our spiritual purification journey on Elohim's divine appointments.

The letter Nun is a powerful symbol in the Hebrew alphabet, representing a faithful one who is bent in submission to Elohim. The journey of Yeshua, from his first coming to his second coming, is reflected in the transformation of the Nun from a bent to an upright position. This transformation symbolizes the transition from a humbled and faithful servant to a righteous one who stands upright before God.

The word Nun is spelled Noon, Vav, Final Nun, and its meaning is rooted in the idea of being bent in submission to God's will and purpose. At Yeshua's first coming, he came as the bent Nun, the suffering servant who was bent for our transgressions. However, at his second coming, he will return with a sword, exemplifying his return with his two-edged sword on his day of vengeance, as prophesied in Isaiah 61 and 63.

In Isaiah 61:1-2, we see the prophecy of Yeshua's first coming, where he preaches good tidings to the poor, heals the brokenhearted, and proclaims liberty to the captives. However, the second part of the prophecy, which speaks of the day of vengeance of our God, is yet to be fulfilled. This day of vengeance is also mentioned in Isaiah 63:1-6, where God speaks of his apparel being red and his garments being stained with the blood of his enemies.

The book of Revelation also speaks of Yeshua's return, where he is described as a righteous judge who comes with a sharp sword to strike the nations. The upright Nun, which resembles a sword, is a symbol of Yeshua's return as a conquering king. In Aramaic, the language Yeshua likely spoke, the word Nun means fish, which is a symbol of activity and life. Yeshua, as the ultimate fisherman, calls his disciples to be fishers of men, and this calling is still relevant today.

As believers, we are called to be humble and faithful servants, bent in submission to God's will and purpose. However, as we journey through our spiritual purification, we will be lifted up and exalted, just like Peter, who was called to be a fisher of men. The story of Peter's calling is a powerful example of faith, trust, and obedience, and it serves as a reminder that we too can be lifted up and exalted as we submit to God's will.
