Tekton means an artist and craftsman, which generally means a builder of many things; an artisan! Traditionally however, the word has been interpreted and translated simply to "carpenter" though it would more likely include (what we think of today as) a master builder. Architects were known as an Architekton, and affectionately, a teknon and teknion are (in biblical parlance) new disciples, but these are sometimes confused with Tekton for their similar spelling.
Carpenters, woodworkers and craftsmen in general, were more respected in the past; lawyers and politicians were not! They were dishonor! It is an upside down Kingdom indeed! In the future resurrected Kingdoms of YHVH, it will be the workers who will be those respected, not the cut takers; not those who gained earthly resources off the backs of those who built and grew and raised and made, by the sweat of the brow; the toil Labor of their/our own calloused hands (Eph 4:28; 1Th 2:9–12 & 4:9–12; 2Th 3:6–10; James 1:7–11 & 2:5–10).
Indeed, those kind will not partake in the Heavenly Kingdoms at all. Likewise, the christianized use their religion to improve their earthly life; conversely, those of us who live under the Messianic Crosss, use our earthly lives to serve the eternal Kingdom. Lifestlye evangelism is simply to be the proverbial city light, as a fixed illumination, to draw in, those who are called by YHVH. We pull no one through coercion, like the recruitment tactics of Satans people, who serve Satan via his trinity of Earth kingdoms: Economics; Politics; Religion!
To become One with Adonai Elohim, and then a partaker in the eternal Kingdoms of YHVH, a person (while on Earth) cannot buy their way in; they cannot join a group or perform a ritual, nor any other outward act, religious or otherwise; we can only become Love! Going to a church is the worst thing to do! The words "church" and "Satan" are synonymy! We do not merit our Spiritual status, we become it: We become (as) YHVH!
All of John Seventeen is the explanation and the declaration of this reality; this marriage–level interconnection; this everlasting Oneness. But "how" we live now, in this short little Earth experiment, most certainly paints the picture of what and who we will be eternally. YHVH is in the heart transplant business! YHVH seeks only our mind–heart–Soul, not our devotion to (planet) Earth specific events: Sabbath and Torah keeping; all religious rites and rituals. Law was a failure; Salvation (Yeshua) was/is The Way.
The Tekton was, after all, the maker of so many more things than just housing, buildings, cabinetry, furniture, tools, carts and wheels, boats, oars and masts, plows, yokes (farming implements), and so on. These skills were surely in high demand. This was also about honoring the Labor curse; why YHVH did not come onto Earth as royalty, or endowed with rich parents. YHVH is assembling bondservants, not human lords!
For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead? For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches are broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them, partakes of the root and fatness of the olive tree, boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root, you. You will say then: The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in! But because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high minded, but fear, for if Elohim spared not the natural branches, take heed lest He also not spare you.
Behold therefore, the goodness and severity of Elohim; on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you shall also be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for Elohim is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree, how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I would not, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (Rom 11:15–25)
To those who have ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the fellowships! To those who overcome, I will give to eat of the tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Elohim! (Rev 2:7)
