…Leaving Babylon

Mashyach | Anointed
The Messiah Returns…
The preceding portion of Dany’el was not couched in mystery, although it was doused in religion. It was not conveyed using metaphors or symbols but, instead, religious verbiage. It was a straightforward and readily verified confession, easily corroborated, because Dany’el was adlibbing what Moseh and the prophets had written.
While Daniel’s religiosity was irritating, his Towrah citations are important because, apart from this preamble, the following prophecy is readily misappropriated and misunderstood. There are two days being predicted and they both pertain to fulfilling the Miqra’ey – days which are meaningful when guided by the Towrah. But since with the Towrah and its Covenant there can be no quarter for religion, should a rabbi or priest ascertain the timing, they would lose their faith in the process.
This compound prophecy was conveyed by Dowd in 538 BCE – 570 years prior to his fulfillment of Chag Matsah in 33 CE and 2,570 years before he would return to enable the promises of Yowm Kipurym in 6000 Yah in 2033. The timeline for God’s redemptive plan hinges upon what occurred on Passover, UnYeasted Bread, Firstborn Children, and the Promise of Seven in Year 4000 Yah to make Kipurym and Sukah possible forty Yowbel thereafter.
“Then (wa), I was continually communicating and conversing (‘owd ‘any dabar – when I was speaking well 523beyond normal expectations), pondering questions and contemplating their answers (wa palal – making inquiries regarding the justification to persuade, seeking intervention, arbitration, and intercession, and also thinking about and foreseeing future contingencies and events), (wa) expressing gratitude over casting aside (yadah – appreciation and thankfulness for being able to admit and toss away) my pardonable offenses for having missed the way (chata’ah ‘any – the consequence and punishment for me having gone astray, my iniquity and guilt associated with me wandering away from the right path) and the consequence of my people, Yisra’el, going astray (wa chata’ah ‘am ‘any Yisra’el – in addition to the wrongful nature of my lost family, those who strive against and struggle with God), presenting (naphal – settling upon, offering, and letting go of) my earnest request for the favor (tachinah – my petition and plea for kind, generous, and favorable treatment) of being able to approach the presence of (la paneh – to come face-to-face with) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence), my God (‘elohy), on (‘al – upon) the set-apart (qodesh – separating, consecrating, preparing, dedicating, purifying and cleansing) mountain (har) of my God (‘elohy),…” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Decide between Vindication and Condemnation / Daniel 9:20)
The words change but not the message and that is because Dany’el continually struggled with the realization that his role was to listen to what the prophets conveyed and then speak about it. But at least, this was better. There were no “my Lords” and no demands. Positively, he spoke of searching for answers and of a desire to approach Yahowah, knowing that he had missed the way. Unfortunately, begging for forgiveness was only making matters worse. He needed to stop requesting mercy and 524start walking along the path Yahowah had provided to receive it. It is there for the accepting, not requesting.
As we approach Dowd’s appearance and a return to sanity, Dany’el clearly wanted to benefit from what he was witnessing. Having lived a life foreshadowing the ill effects of the rabbis, he needed what God and His Messiah would be providing through Chag Matsah. If our reporter is in Heaven, it is proof positive that the Towrah can pardon the offense of having missed the way.
Having studied the Towrah | Teaching, we know that the Miqra’ of Pesach opens the door to eternal life by resolving the consequence of religion which is death. And we realize that the Miqra’ of Matsah resolves the penalty associated with religious guilt, which is separation from God. Bikuwrym and Shabuw’ah are the result and benefit, enabling God’s children to live in our Father’s Home, as part of His Family, as He enriches and enlightens, emancipates and empowers us.
Taking this statement out of context, Roman Catholics have errantly stated that their confessionals resolve sin. But all Dany’el did was privately and directly (with no intermediary involved) show his appreciation for the provisions Yahowah had provided in His Towrah to resolve the consequence and penalty of having been religious and political – and this man, of all men, was grateful.
This known, had Dany’el been a prophet rather than a reporter, he would have been more confident. There is no reason to request what God has already offered. There is nothing to be gained by trying to negotiate with Him or plead one’s case on a matter that has already been decided. The means to salvation has been decided upon, duly presented, and paid for, so Yahowah is not going to make a special accommodation for anyone pursuant to the means 525to the Beryth through the Miqra’ey. He is going to do exactly as He has promised.
Dany’el was struggling to leave Babylon – something God requires of us. This chapter in his life, when compared to the others, shows that he was trying, but there was still too much babel in him.
The dichotomy between Dany’el and the likes of Moseh and Dowd or Yirma’yah and Yasha’yah is enormous. His rhetoric is so divergent, it warrants full and constant disclosure. For example, we are encouraged to read the Towrah and Prophets, listen to what Yahowah has to say, think about it, and then share what we have learned. Dany’el was incessantly conveying his preferences – which were consistently inappropriate, and at best, irrelevant.
We ought not place Yahowah on a pedestal because He is more comfortable interacting with us as our Father. We are encouraged to relate to God as our friend and as someone who we realize is committed to supporting what we are achieving together. He wants us to be successful. And the more He is able to empower and enable us so that we become more like Him, the happier He is with the result.
I ask very little of God while Dany’el is constantly pleading for one thing and then another. I recognize that Yahowah is here to help, and I know that He wants us to understand so that we can more effectively share His message with His people. His prime objective is to reconcile the relationship with Yisra’el and be merciful. There is no need to ask God to do what He is already committed to accomplishing. Moreover, Yahowah has told us exactly how we need to respond if we want to benefit. The first step in that direction is to be the antithesis of what we have witnessed thus far in this man.
526Daniel became the recipient of these prophecies because he was willing to read the revelations of the prophets and apply the lessons, because he could write, because of where he was at the time, and because there wasn’t a better option. This was, however, enough for us to become beneficiaries. We have been offered a brief history of the world, the story of the succession of Beasts, and now we are about to witness the final solution to mankind’s errant ways.
“While I was continuing to communicate (wa ‘owd ‘any dabar) with the intent of being distinct and different (‘el taphilah – either praying or desirous of being set apart as discriminating and special; from ta’ab – to desire and palah – pleading to be set apart as special while thinking about the future, asking questions and contemplating the answers), then (wa) Gabry’el | God’s Most Confident and Capable, Courageous and Combative Man (wa Gabry’el – the Almighty’s exceptionally proficient and powerful defender, an exemplar of character who confirms the truth; a compound of ‘any – I am a geber – particularly strong and resolute human being, a capable and authorized individual, an aggressive and confrontational person, a fighter, defender, and protector who prevails with ‘el – Almighty God; from gabar – exceptionally proficient, absolutely assured, resolutely corroborative, tremendously powerful and great), the individual (ha ‘iysh – the person and human being who is a champion, supporter, and defender), whom, to reveal the proper path (‘asher – to show the benefits of the relationship), I had seen (ra’ah – I had witnessed, observed, perceived, inspected, and considered) during the initial prophetic revelation (ba ha chazown ba ha tachilah – in the earlier communication during the beginning vision of the future which I was able to see), offering advice while preoccupied with the destruction of existing militaries (ya’aph ba ya’aph – providing counsel and addressing the purpose of what is occurring 527while appearing wearied, or perhaps exasperated, moving swiftly between battles, from ya’ats – to offer advice and counsel regarding the purpose of the plan), reached out to make contact with me (naga’ ‘el ‘any – extended himself to reach out to me) around the time of the evening (ka ‘eth ‘ereb – according to the right season of the year at sunset) offering (minchah – apportionment which is bestowed as a present or gift).” (Dany’el / My God is Judgmental / Daniel 9:21)
Thank God for Dowd.
Previously in Dany’el 8:15 and 16, a geber | confident and confrontational man heralded the arrival of Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable Person. The final Witness, whom Dany’el introduces as Myka’el | One Who is Truthful and Right About God at the beginning of the 12th chapter, qara’ | summoned Dowd, knowing that he plays the starring role in this drama. Upon his arrival, and after encouraging Dany’el to start thinking, and to stand up and be accountable, the Messiah and King told Dany’el to listen to his sar | representative and herald, Yada, the one who will make this known so that you will understand.
Previously speaking to Dany’el about Yada (Daniel 8:19), Dowd said, “As the final witness to the eternal testimony regarding the restoring appointments of the Mow’ed, he will literally and without interruption convey the way to receive the benefits of the relationship, doing so in the distant future, during the last days, and on behalf of the indignant remnant.”
Not only was Gabry’el correctly identified as an ‘iysh | man, a human male, the identity of ‘el | God’s gibowr is readily verified as Dowd from Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9 where, as a son, he was given to us. The Messiah is the lone individual who fits this title. And there is no better news than this, because apart from Yahowah, no one in Heaven or on Earth knew as much about the events he was going 528to address. He had predicted them, describing them in excruciating detail, and he, himself, would fulfill them. Moreover, with Dany’el failing to meet the standard of a prophet, Dowd was the most prolific of them – the gold standard.
In addition, Dowd, as the only man destined to live three lives spanning these eras, was the ideal prophet to provide the sweeping prophetic history of the world. Moreover, he was now in Babel | Babylon, the birthplace of the Beast – the realm from which Satan would arise. Whether as a prophet or from his perch in Shamaym, he would witness Babylon become Persia and then watch as the Greeks prevailed over them. The bestiality of Rome was no secret to him as he would experience their savage brutality personally. Additionally, Dowd would have been familiar with his mortal enemy – the final Beast – the Roman Catholic Church – which grew out of Imperial Rome to obfuscate the heroic sacrifices he would make on behalf of his people while persecuting them.
No one has been better at providing advice. And no one surpassed Dowd in the destruction of Yisra’el’s foes, having never lost a battle. Further, Dowd’s greatest gift to his people was offering to endure the long night of Matsah in the darkness of She’owl during Matsah.
The evidence is overwhelming that this ‘iysh | individual man, this gibowr of ‘el | competent and courageous combatant of God, was His Son, our Messiah and King Dowd | David. The alternative, that he was an archangel, is contrary to the evidence which has been provided as well as in conflict with God’s previous and future interactions with humankind.
Now that Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent Man, Dowd, has returned, we are told that he has been busy ya’aph ba ya’aph | offering advice while preoccupied with the destruction of existing militaries. Dowd has been 529providing counsel regarding the purpose of what is occurring while appearing wearied, or perhaps exasperated, moving swiftly between battles. Yisra’el’s great defender is doing what he does best.
Dowd will be exceedingly valuable at this time. His first order of business will be to anoint the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant so that Yahowah can reconcile His relationship with Yisra’el. Then he will go to war, defending Yahuwdym from those who have come to annihilate them. All the while, he will commence his role as our Shepherd and Counselor, Messiah and King.
The realization that the Mashyach | Messiah has been called away from these essential responsibilities during Yowm Kipurym to provide insights relative to his fulfillment of Chag Matsah as the mashach | anointed Messiah is poetic, prophetic, and profound. Considering the source of these insights, labeling “Jesus,” the “Christ,” rather than acknowledging Dowd, is short-sighted to the point of being blind. Dowd | David is a Prophet and Counselor, Shepherd and Lamb, Messiah and High Priest, Son of God and King. He is the exemplar of the Covenant, the embodiment of Yisra’el, and the Son who fulfilled the Invitations to Meet with God.
Before we move on, there is no ka ‘eth ‘ereb minchah | evening offering prescribed in the Towrah. However, in his defense, there is an evening apportionment which is bestowed as a gift – Chag Matsah | the Feast of UnYeasted Bread, beginning with Pesach | Passover – which is celebrated at sundown. Addressing Passover in this instance is both relevant and helpful considering what follows.
Should you think it inappropriate to associate something as generic as ka ‘eth ‘ereb minchah with the magnificence of Yahowah’s Passover sacrifice, you’d have a valid point. But there is nothing wrong with considering 530every reasonable possibility. While being as accurate and consistent as possible, we are committed to going where these words lead.
God works through curious souls because He realizes that those who question everything find resolution. They not only grow in understanding but, also, in confidence. I suspect that Yahowah chose His final messenger with this in mind, recognizing His son’s appreciation of how yada’ would result in byn…
“So (wa) he made the connections to encourage understanding (byn – he pursued comprehension by being discriminating and perceptive to facilitate discernment through careful consideration). He spoke with me (wa dabar ‘im ‘any – then he communicated using words to me), and he said (wa ‘amar), ‘Dany’el (Dany’el – My God Judges, Condemns, and Vindicates; from dyn – to decide with ‘el – God), now at this time (‘atah – so then in the sequence of things), I have come forth (yatsa’ – I have descended to extend) to provide insights and instruction which, if you are circumspect and considerate, will promote (la sakal ‘atah – to teach the prudent to pay attention, and you through contemplation to gain) understanding through discernment (bynah – enabling comprehension through diligence and reason).’” (Dany’el / God Judges / Daniel 9:22)
Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent and Confrontational Man, Dowd | the Beloved, is the living embodiment of byn | understanding the dabar | word of God. This is his ‘atah | time when he will lead his people on yet another yatsa’ | exodus – this time out of what Babel | Being Confused by the Lord. By listening to Dowd throughout his Mizmowr and Mashal, we revel in his sakal | insights and grow in bynah | understanding. This is why Yahowah so loved his son and then supported his desire to fulfill these roles so that we could learn from his example.
531It is wonderful to see God’s Son, our Messiah and King, speak to Dany’el. This is encouraging for the rest of us, especially when we consider the difference between Dowd’s intellect and standing with God relative to our own. Last time they met, even as I was introducing them, Dany’el had done a nose plant. So now by asking him to think it through, Dowd forestalled more of the same. He is brilliant after all…
“In the beginning, the sickening and inappropriate (ba tachilah – initially, while common to the point of being profane; from chalah – to be a sorrowful and sickening beggar, a wearisome infected and diseased malcontent and chalal – to profane and desecrate through common and defiling religious practices) matter (dabar – the message and word) of your desire for favors and your pleading for mercy (tachanuwn ‘atah – your longing for love and compassion, your constant petitions; from a compound of ta’ab | to desire and ta’ah | to point out, with chanan | mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and favor) was brought up (yatsa’ – it came out).
So, I, myself, have returned (wa ‘any bow’ – therefore, I have arrived, having come) to conspicuously report an informative announcement and make this known (la nagad – to provide the message in a straightforward fashion, making this declaration) because (ky) you are so needy (chamadowth ‘atah – you delight in and value such things).
Therefore (wa), you will want to be considerate and strive to understand, being diligent and systematic in your evaluation (byn – by choosing to be perceptive, discerning, and discriminating, you will comprehend (qal imperative)) of this message (ba ha dabar – through this statement), choosing to make the connections needed to comprehend (wa byn – by being perceptive and circumspect to understand (hifil imperative)), what is 532being revealed (ba ha mar’eh – what is being witnessed).” (Dany’el / My God Judges / Daniel 9:23)
While true, this was a slap in the face to a man who needed it. With all of his pleading, Dany’el had become irritating. As I expected while reading through this, God does not want us begging Him to do as He has already promised or to request what He will never provide. We cannot go wrong when listening to God and are often wrong when pleading with Him.
As a compound word based upon chalah | to be a sickening and sorrowful beggar, a wearisome and diseased malcontent, tachilah presents Daniel as we have cast him. Frankly, it was obvious – which was the point and the reason for Dowd’s astute assessment.
Moreover, since tachilah is also shaded by chalal, which addresses the commonality and profanity of religious and political corruption, Dany’el is exactly as I had surmised. He is prophetic of politicized religion. He is being used as a foil upon which to expose and condemn the emergence and spread of the weeds we know as Rabbinic Judaism and Roman Christianity.
After listening to him, I want to thank our Messiah and Shepherd for confirming that this radically different interpretation of Daniel is accurate. Never once during the nearly 2,600 years which have transpired since the book was written, has anyone dared to present this man from this perspective. And now that we are here, and have done so, boldly sharing Yahowah’s disdain for religion and politics, we find God’s Anointed affirming these perceptions.
The narrative found within the first six chapters of Daniel is as irritating as it is insightful, while symbolically presenting the disgusting consequence of religious and political indoctrination. The stench is sickening and debilitating to mankind and irritating to God. The opening chapters serve as an exposé on why God hates Babylon and 533why men and women must leave its toxic influence to be with Him.
Try as he might to distance himself from this horrible stain on his soul and stigma on his life, Dany’el was still plagued by his childhood programming and by being indoctrinated at the height of Babylon’s deplorable culture. It did not matter what he ate or said, because he had swallowed the poison and it had profaned and corrupted him. His contribution to this story is that he could write. Beyond that, he is the embodiment of all that is wrong with Babel, of associating with the Lord, and of integrating religion and politics. Dany’el is a spawn of the Beast and represents the emergence of Judaism and Christianity.
For his sake, I hope he figured it out before it was too late. It is certain that he was afforded enough information to resolve this problem. After all, that is the message Dowd will soon convey. If he starts listening and comes to understand, he can still capitalize upon what Father and Son are offering. But between now and that time, let’s keep it real, as Dowd has done, and not be afraid to denounce all that is wrong while celebrating the realization that the Towrah can perfect even the most imperfect.
The pronouncement, ‘any bow’ | I, myself, have come, having returned, affirms that the man being identified as Gabry’el has been here previously and that we should be able to readily identify him. Further, he plays an essential role in helping us understand God’s message.
Now that Gabry’el has been properly introduced, and the purpose of this revelation has been established, it is time to consider the prophecy. What follows provides the blueprint for redemption and adoption, reconciliation and everlasting life. And you’ll note that it is focused upon “your people” and “your city” – Yahuwdym and Yaruwshalaim. Sorry, Twistians, but this pronouncement does not apply to you. And for Jews, please pay attention…
534“The many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with the vows pertaining to the things Seven represents, even seventy sevens (shabuwa’ym shib’iym) are determined and decreed (chathak – He has planned, divided out, and marked) on behalf of your people, the extended family (‘al ‘am ‘atah – for your kin) and upon your set-apart city and its distinctly uncommon inhabitants (wa ‘al ‘iyr qodesh ‘atah – over your special and separated population center, including those who are separated and distinct and, thus, not religious) to bring an end to the religious rebellion, eliminating the revolting communal defiance and contrarian views (la kalah ha pesha’ – for the abolition and complete purging of revolting opposition, of pervasive transgression, of being at fault, guilty of being contrarians who have defected from the relationship), to affix the signature which seals up the guilt associated with having missed the way, precluding ever being wrong again (wa la chatham chata’owth – to affirming the authenticity of that which constrains and prevents everything associated with going astray), to provide reconciliation for religious error, purging the perverse corruptions and twisted perversions (wa la kaphar ‘awon – to cover over by atoning, ransoming and annulling distortions), to arrive with and bring that which is eternally right, always correct, forever accurate and honest, thereby attaining everlasting deliverance and vindication (wa la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam – to come with ongoing and perpetual justice and deliverance, innocence and prosperity, returning to pursue enduring righteousness), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation, confirming and completing these communications (wa la chatham chazown wa naby’ – to confirm and complete the visual communication from God about the future) and to prophecy (wa naby’ – to the prophet), while also anointing the Most Set Apart (wa la mashach qodesh qodesh – and to consecrate, dedicate, and 535prepare the separated, special, distinctly different, and uniquely uncommon).” (Dany’el / My God Judges, Condemns, and Vindicates / Daniel 9:24)
This is Dowd’s story, explaining why he was willing and able to fulfill the decree Yahowah had made to his people through the seven Miqra’ey | Invitations. With his arrival in Yaruwshalaim in advance of Passover and then again on Kipurym, he has and will bring an end to the consequence of religious rebellion and contrarian views. With him serving as our lamb and our shepherd, God’s people will never stray again. With our souls perfected and the relationship reconciled on these occasions, Yisra’el will be right forevermore, becoming eternally vindicated. This is the summation of all prophecy. The fruition of God’s promises occur as Dowd anoints the Mercy Seat of the Covenant within the Qodesh Qodesh of God’s Home on Yowm Kipurym so that we can celebrate Sukah.
This pronouncement pertains to the Shabat and to the promises associated with Shabuw’ah. It is for Dany’el’s people and extended family and, thus, for Jews, and his city, which is Jerusalem. So, since it is all designed to eliminate their guilt, one would have to be foolish to believe any of this pertained to a gentile religion which was vehemently opposed to all of this. As such, this prophecy cannot be predictive of the Christian Christ.
The reason that I included, but did not lead with, the customary “seventy sevens” rendering of shabuwa’ym shib’iym in this context is that we were not given a starting point, and when one is provided in the next statement, the timeline becomes 7 plus 62 weeks. Also, since Dowd is the focus of all seven Miqra’ey, including being the first to be enriched and empowered by Shabuw’ah, shabuwa’ym shib’iym is communicating something considerably more important.
536This insight is fostered by the recognition that Shabuw’ah follows Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children by seven weeks. It serves to improve the witness of God’s family – beginning with the Bakowr | Firstborn – Dowd. As such, Shabuw’ah is a celebration of how his sacrifices during Chag Matsah conceive and benefit the Covenant relationship and enable God’s Children to come Home.
Further, as the fourth of seven Invitations to be Called Out and Meet, the reference to Shabuw’ah correlates to the fourth millennium of human history when it was enabled. And as the middle Miqra’, Shabuw’ah correlates with Dowd’s purpose and position at the midpoint of God’s restorative timeline.
With Shabuw’ah focused upon enlightening the minds and enriching the lives of the beneficiaries of Chag Matsah, and with the Ingathering of God’s Family, explaining when, why, and through whom this would occur, understanding its position within Yahowah’s overall plan is instrumental to appreciating how we got to this place and where we go from here. Therefore, when we account for the generations from ‘Adam to ‘Abraham, we find that forty Yowbel, or 2000 years, separate them. Additionally, another forty Yowbel transpire from ‘Abraham’s experience on Mount Mowryah to Dowd’s Passover sacrifice in this same place. And that means that a pattern has emerged.
Two thousand years after ‘Adam and Chawah’s expulsion from the Garden of ‘Eden, God confirmed the Covenant in 1968 BCE (year 2000 Yah) with ‘Abraham, Sarah, and Yitschaq for us to return home. Then to provide the resulting rewards, including immortality, perfection, adoption, enrichment, and empowerment, God’s attention would return to Mowryah forty Yowbel thereafter in year 4000 Yah (33 CE), with His Son walking out of the pages of the Towrah to fulfill Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children followed by the Promise of Seven.
537But that would not be the end of God’s story. Forty Yowbel later, on the Miqra’ of Kipurym in year 6000 Yah (Sunset on October 2nd, 2033), Father and Son will return to reconcile their relationship with Yisra’el and Yahuwdym, restoring the Covenant by integrating the Towrah into our lives. Five days later as we celebrate Sukah | Shelters, we will enjoy the final thousand years of human history on this planet – camping out with our Heavenly Father, and brother, through year 7000 Yah.
Along these lines, the seven days of Creation, the depiction of the Shabat, the number of Invitations to be Called Out and Meet and, indeed, the history of humankind estranged from God, even the number of Ruwach devoted to facilitating the book you are reading are predicated upon the formula of six plus one equates to seven. As such, nearly six thousand years of man separated from Yahowah have transpired since humankind was expelled from ‘Eden. We are, therefore, on the cusp of the one-thousand-year celebration of living together again. In this light, shabuwa’ym shib’iym defines the passage of time from the beginning to the conclusion of God’s story.
Also interesting, when we add the 7 weeks of years between the edict to return and the restoration of Yaruwshalaim, to the 62 weeks of years between that time and the fulfillment of the first four Miqra’ey, we are left 1 week of years shy of 70. If that 7-year difference is attributed to the Time of Trouble, the inference is that nothing of merit occurred between year 4000 Yah in 33 CE when the first three Miqra’ey were fulfilled and year 5993 Yah in 2026 – seven years prior to Yah’s return during the Shabuw’ah Harvest.
Considering all that he said would be accomplished, by offering these numbers and describing the results, Dowd is directing us to his arrival to fulfill Chag Matsah and to his return on Yowm Kipurym. He wants his people to be aware of how different the last seven years will be 538compared to everything else they have previously endured. And from this perspective, by providing the date he will fulfill Chag Matsah and then jumping ahead 1,993 years to the 7 years preceding his return to fulfill Yowm Kipurym, he is bypassing the era of the rabbis and the Church Age. It suggests that they are counter to the objectives which have been delineated or superfluous to them. And this realization precludes the proposition of a different Messiah and competing testimonials being part of God’s plan.
Since Dowd will go on to present the day and year he will arrive to fulfill the Mow’ed Miqra’ey of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym, there are aspects of these Invitations to Meet which are germane to the prophecy. By fulfilling Passover and UnYeasted Bread, God’s children become immortal and are perfected, thereby forever resolving the consequence of pesha’, chata’ah, and ‘awon, while ushering in an ‘owlam celebration of everything which is tsedeq. Therefore, this statement from Dowd was spoken to unfurl the entire canvas of time and the towrah. It is God’s tapestry from the first strand to the final knot.
From the perspective of time, shabuwa’ym shib’iym is seventy sevens or, potentially, 70 x 7 = 490 prophetic years. Elsewhere, when Dany’el wants to convey a week of seven days, he spells it out just that way. For example, in Dany’el 10:2, the prophet reveals that he was in mourning for “three weeks of days.”
It isn’t until Dowd’s next statement that he pinpoints the exact day in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah when the first four Mow’ed Miqra’ey would be, and now have been, fulfilled. From there, we can readily deduce Yahowah and Dowd’s return on Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah, to the minute, hour, day, and year.
We can also turn back the clock 40 Yowbel from year 4000 Yah to ascertain when the Beryth | Covenant was ratified between Yahowah, ‘Abraham, Sarah, and 539Yitschaq. Another 40 Yowbel back in time takes us to the day ‘Adam and Chawah were exiled from the Garden, establishing the year Yahowah’s 7,000-year calendar began to unfold.
It is also interesting to travel in time to the midway point between ‘Adam and ‘Abraham – 20 Yowbel from each – because we arrive at Noach’s birth in advance of the flood. Similarly, by splitting the difference between ‘Abraham and Dowd’s sacrifice as the Pesach ‘Ayil, we are directed to the year the cornerstone was laid in year 3000 Yah.
Digging deeper, there are some interesting subtleties associated with chathak | determined and decreed which we should consider. It is a precise computation of time. God has a plan. It has been marked out for us in the Towrah wa Naby’. It will play out on His schedule – on the very days He has determined.
Time, from Yah’s perspective, is divided and segmented, with one event separated from the next by an exacting measure. And God is resolute in His resolve to see His plan through. There will be no hesitation, equivocation, or delay.
Also relevant, since the dates of the Mow’ed are determined every year, with Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children celebrated on the 14th, 15th, and 16th days of the first month, we should expect that Dowd’s revelation will lead us directly to Pesach in the Yowbel Shanah of 4000 Yah. If so, God assuredly knows when and where He is going to fulfill His promises. And since He provided us with the means to determine these dates, we are privy to what He knows.
There is no justification or excuse for the random dating Maimonides thrust upon an ignorant and unsuspecting audience. Here in the early fall of 2022, as we approach Sukah, it is year 5989 Yah – with just 11 years 540remaining before Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah – sunset in Jerusalem, 6:22 PM local time, on October 2nd, 2033.
The Rambam was wrong on all accounts. Creation occurred 14 billion years ago, not in 3759 BCE as he claimed. Further, the expulsion from Gan ‘Eden, demarking year 0 Yah, transpired in 3968 BCE. A new year begins on the 1st of ‘Abyb, in the Spring, not when the Babylonians observed Rosh Hashanah. But since the rabbi was more impressed with his own calculations than the genealogies established in the Towrah for this purpose, his Sanctification of the Moon scheme has led Jews astray for over 800 years.
When Yahowah inspires one of His prophets to say ‘am ‘anah | for your people, He is almost always addressing Yisra’el and Yahuwdym. Not only is this affirmed by the constant references to ‘am throughout the Towrah, ‘am also means “family.” Therefore, the plan Yahowah is unfurling would be designed in support of the Covenant He established with Yisra’el beginning with ‘Abraham and Sarah.
Yahowah’s focus is on Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation. The ‘iyr qodesh | set-apart city, therefore, not only denotes the location where these prophecies would be fulfilled but, also, for whom. It is the most qodesh | set-apart place on Earth. It is in Jerusalem that Yahowah made it possible for us to be separated from the pesha’, chata’ah, and ‘awon of man and be tsedeq regarding Him.
Qodesh is among the most revealing and least understood terms in the Hebrew lexicon. It means “to be set apart.” It affirms that God wants us to be like Him, distinct from the ways of man and, thus, uncommon. So, when we consider the two most pervasive and popular human agencies, to be qodesh means that we should not be 541religious or political. To be set apart unto Yahowah is to be separated from such things.
Everything which is important to Yahowah is qodesh, including the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit. Yisra’el, Yahuwdah, Yaruwshalaim, and Mowryah are qodesh, as are Yahowah’s name, His Towrah, Beryth, Miqra’ey, and Shabat, including His Ben | Son and ‘Am | Family.
Within its third iteration, there will be a Qodesh Qodesh | Most Set-Apart Place. It will model the location where Yahowah was seen and heard above the Ark of the Covenant. And it will be here that Dowd will mashach | anoint the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat as the first order of business upon his return on Yowm Kipurym, doing so within the Beyth | Home he and his Father will erect with their words.
Each of these things is separate and distinct from the common aspects of the human experience. And while they are all unique and special to God, the most set apart are the Spirit, His Son, and the place within His Home devoted to the Reconciliation of His Family.
Therefore, when theologians mistranslate Yahowah’s revelation using religious terminology like “holy,” the faithful are played for fools. They are stupefied into believing that religion is the cure rather than the disease. In truth, She’owl | Hell is set apart from God while Shamaym | Heaven is set apart from religion.
Now that Yahowah has revealed when, for whom, and where He is going to act pursuant to this prophecy, let’s consider through whom and why He is committed to accomplishing this list of six things. The first is la kalah ha pesha’ | to bring an end to the revolting religious rebellion. According to God, Yisra’elites have engaged in communal insubordination and mass defection, showing solidarity in their contrarian positions. And while this means that Judaism has been toxic to Jews, it is no more or less deadly 542than Christianity or Islam, Socialist Secular Humanism or Communism. Wrong comes in many flavors.
What’s worse: replacing the Shabat with Sunday or imposing a thousand meaningless restrictions upon the seventh day, supplanting the Towrah with the New Testament or the Talmud, believing that “Jesus Christ” is the Son of God and the Messiah or repressing the realization that Dowd served as the Passover Lamb and that he is the Son of God and Messiah?
What’s worse: believing that there is no God or establishing the Lord as God? Do you think Yahowah is bothered more by those who claim He does not exist or by those who confuse Him for Satan? What do you suppose He finds more offensive: being identified with a star or the image of a dead god on a stick? Is the Jewish corruption of Pesach and Matsah worse than the Christian opposition to them?
Kalah reveals that Yahowah is promising to put an end to the communal defiance and religious rebellion of His people – eliminating these things. For God to enjoy our company, for the Earth to become like ‘Eden, and for heaven to be joyful, there must be a place and time where the choice to rebel and to be revolting no longer exists.
In context, the fulfillments of the first four Mow’ed in year 4000 Yah laid the foundation for this result. They provide a second chance for God’s people. And that makes Kipurym the final opportunity for eternal life, perfection, adoption, and enrichment for Yahuwdym. Through Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym, it is now possible to reconcile the relationship on Kipurym.
While there is no Kipurym without the prior fulfillment of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah, and ongoing contribution of Taruw’ah which must be shared for it to resonate sufficiently to draw an audience, the fact remains the six resolutions on Dowd’s initial list 543will become manifest over time, commencing in year 4000 Yah with Chag Matsah and concluding during Kipurym and Sukah in 6000 Yah. And this means that the one being anointed a fourth time is Dowd – the Mercy Seat representing the final anointing.
Pesha’ serves to demonstrate a crucial aspect of human nature. It is “punishment which fits the crime,” especially in association with “institutional, societal, and national guilt born of rebellion.” This axiom undergirds most justice systems: commit a crime, do the time. Consequence and responsibility are the underpinnings of morality. And what is true in the here and now is also viable in the hereafter, although the consequences are more enduring. Yahowah is fair, so there will be recompense. Those who have misled His people, harming them, will be held accountable. Therefore, Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym to celebrate Sukah will be more than a Day of Reconciliations and time to Camp Out, because 45 days of Judgment will follow – thereby bringing an end to religious rebellion.
The second statement of purpose has been and will continue to be fulfilled in increments. It began with the Towrah serving as the la chatam chata’ah | signed document which seals up the guilt associated with being wrong and missing the way. Through the benefits of the Covenant and by acting to fulfill Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children, Father and Son have attested to the authenticity of the Towrah.
However, as was the case with the first of these six statements of purpose, while the groundwork was laid to remedy the persistent encroachment of religion and politics upon Yisra’el in year 4000 Yah with the fulfillment of the first four Miqra’ey, this prophecy will be fulfilled in stages with the final act occurring on the Day of Reconciliations in year 6000 Yah so that we can Camp Out together forevermore. That is when Yahowah will place His Towrah 544inside of the Covenant’s children while writing His name on our hearts.
Chata’ah is typically translated as either “sin” or “guilt.” However, since it is derived from chata’, it is more accurately depicted as “missing the way” or “going astray.” To be chata’ah is to be “misled” and “wrong” about God. As such, chata’ah is caused by religion – the lone institution responsible for mass deception regarding the Almighty.
This brings us to the third statement of purpose, one which also directs our attention to Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah. God promised la kaphar ‘awon | to provide reconciliation for the perverse distortions associated with religious corruptions. Relative to Yisra’el, kaphar | restoration of the relationship is the prime objective. This is the verb which explains the purpose of the Day of Reconciliations. Kaphar also sits at the heart of the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. And both the Mercy Seat and this Miqra’ are irrevocably linked to Dowd’s return with his Father.
The Covenant was broken by Yisra’el, so for God’s people to return to fellowship, the relationship must be reconciled – which is to be made harmonious again. The wrongs will have to be pardoned and forgiven, atoned and annulled.
The interesting thing about Kipurym is that unlike the other six Mow’ed which serve Yahuwdym and Gowym – the Day of Reconciliations is intended for Yisra’el. This denotes the day when God’s people are reunited with one another and with Yahowah. A remnant will recognize Yahowah at long last and greet Him by name as He returns to Yaruwshalaim.
Therefore, Yowm Kipurym meets all of the previous criteria: it will occur on a predetermined date, it is for God’s people, it will materialize in Jerusalem, it will bring 545an end to religious rebellion, and it is the day Yahowah will place His towrah | guidance and signature within His people such that they will never again go astray or wander away from Him. And this means that the Messiah is speaking of his arrival as Messiah and King.
Yisra’el broke the Beryth by promoting “‘awon – perverse corruptions” of the truth. They went from right to wrong, liberated to servitude, enriched to impoverished, life to death, vindicated to condemned. ‘Awon depicts a precipitous fall because there is nothing more damaging to our relationship with God than trafficking in that which is inaccurate and untrustworthy. Far worse than ignoring Yahowah’s testimony is corrupting and perverting it, bending and twisting it, because doing so conceals the truth and provides false hope.
If you open a lexicon to kaphar, the first thing you are likely to read would be “to make atonement.” But that is a religious term, meaning “to make reparation to atone for sin.” As noted earlier, God has no interest in us begging for forgiveness because He has already facilitated our reconciliation – ending the prolonged divorce.
There is a secondary connotation to kaphar which begins to make sense when viewed in association with the work of the Ruwach Qodesh. On four occasions, including the Miqra’ of Kipurym, we are invited to approach the maternal manifestation of Yah’s light – the Set-Apart Spirit. Her intent is to “kaphar – cover us” in a Garment of Light.
In this way, kaphar is similar to being anointed, which also means “to coat or cover.” This correlation is significant because Dowd | David, as the exemplar of the Covenant, was anointed both with oil and by the Ruwach, symbolically demonstrating what God has planned for His children.
546Moving to the fourth of six prophetic promises offered in association with seventy sevens, Yahowah stands ready to correct the consequence of pesha’, chata’ah, and ‘awon by la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam | arriving with and bringing that which is eternally right, correct, accurate, and honest, thereby attaining everlasting vindication. Now that the relationship has been reconciled, Our Heavenly Father wants to surround us with that which is accurate and true, honest and reliable. He wants our relationship to be perfect and enduring. And for this to occur, He is committed to writing His Towrah | Guidance inside of us. We will have perfect and unencumbered access to the truth forevermore.
As we move past the first three promises to the fourth, we transition from Yahowah righting wrongs to wanting us to be right. Having rid the world of religion, He is celebrating our perfection. Having returned to ‘Eden, all is good again between God and man.
The fifth statement of purpose is one that the religious can neither fathom nor accept. There were only two prophets after this pronouncement – Zakaryah and Mal’aky. Therefore, Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Confident Individual revealed that all of this would la chatam chazown wa naby’ | provide a personal seal and signature to the documentation and authenticity which curtails the flow of communication from God through the prophets.
Should you be curious, there is very little if anything useful or new in Revelation. The parts which are reliable are paraphrases of the actual prophets such as Dany’el, Yasha’yah, Yirma’yah, and Zakaryah. Revelation, itself, like the “Gospel of John,” fails Yahowah’s Towrah test regarding His inspiration. Moreover, there are some 38 citations from Ezekiel in Revelations – one of which would be sufficient to condemn the book.
547The continuous flow of revelations from Yahowah through His prophets, beginning with Moseh circa 1450 BCE would conclude 1000 years thereafter with Mal’aky circa 450 BCE. There would be no more.
However, Father and Son were not done fulfilling prophecy. They would act in year 4000 Yah to enable the promises relative to the first four Miqra’ey and then again in year 6000 Yah to engender the benefits of the final two Mow’ed. In so doing, they provided the final seal attesting to the validity of their witness.
The sixth provision is intriguing. Gabry’el | God’s Most Effective Man and His Anointed said, “wa la mashach qodesh qodesh – and to anoint the Most Set Apart.” He was speaking of himself and of the Mercy Seat within Yahowah’s Home. Mashach conveys the idea of “dedicating a person or object for service, setting him or it apart through the process of anointing.” To “anoint” addresses “covering the person or object with olive oil” – although sometimes it can be symbolically accomplished with water or blood depending upon the occasion, object, and purpose. This liquid can be applied in a variety of ways, from “spreading to smearing, from rubbing to sprinkling.”
Olive oil is symbolic in its own right. It served as the purest source of light in the ancient world. Light conveys Yahowah’s timeless nature, His energy, and the enlightenment He provides. Therefore, to be anointed in olive oil is to be covered in Yahowah’s Spirit of Light. This symbolism suggests that the Anointed will manifest Yahowah’s nature to enlighten us.
Olive oil was also rubbed on wounds to promote healing, a metaphor for salvation. It was an important part of a healthy diet, consistent with the nurturing nature of the Set-Apart Spirit. Olive oil was used symbolically throughout the Miqra’ey harvests. It was poured over fine 548grain, representing saved souls, and either sent aloft by way of a wave offering or fire. This provided a visual picture of what happens to us when we are anointed by the Set-Apart Spirit.
Also, when it comes to la mashach qodesh qodesh, it is helpful to know that Messiah is from Mashyach, a derivative of mashach. So, if we were to consider the man most set apart unto Yahowah, the man most anointed by Yahowah, the man who is irrefutably ha Mashyach | the Messiah, our attention is drawn to Dowd | David.
This insight becomes especially relevant because there is a place which is also qodesh qodesh | most set apart – and that is the innermost chamber of Yahowah’s Home. This is the location of the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant. And as we discovered in Mow’ed | Appointments volume of Yada Yahowah, when ha Mashyach Dowd returns with Yahowah, he will anoint the Mercy Seat with a smattering of blood, honoring the Towrah’s prescription for reconciliation during Yowm Kipurym.
The most qodesh of the Miqra’ey is actually Chag Matsah. Inclusive of Pesach and Bikuwrym, it was also the most difficult and painful to fulfill. It would necessitate Dowd serving as the Lamb, then his soul being sent to the place of separation from Yahowah as the redeeming sacrifice. Throughout, the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit would serve as the prime facilitator, conveying Dowd’s nepesh to and from She’owl during Matsah. These aspects of qodesh | being set apart at work during the fulfillment of Chag Matsah may warrant the dual application of qodesh qodesh.
However, Kipurym is also qodesh, as is Dowd who will also be fulfilling it. And therefore, collectively, they are the qodesh qodesh | the most set apart. This will be especially so upon Dowd’s return. During Kipurym, the 549Mashyach will reestablish Yahowah’s Home with his words, placing it above the current location of the original Ark of the Covenant. Then Dowd will enter the Qodesh Qodesh and mashach | anoint the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat, facilitating the Towrah’s promise to restore Yahowah’s Family.
This will be the King’s crowning achievement. He will fulfill the final chathak | decree made on behalf of God’s people, doing so within his city. Poetically, profoundly, and prophetically, this will all occur in concert with shabuwa’ym shib’iym | the promise of a second enriching and empowering, emancipating and enlightening Shabuw’ah, one for the original beneficiaries of Chag Matsah and the second for tomorrow’s attendees at Kipurym.
Every promise Yahowah has made to Yisra’el through the seven Miqra’ey will be fulfilled as God’s reunified family stands beside the King as he rids the Earth of Yisra’el’s foes. Simultaneously, his Father will restore the planet so that we can Sukah | Camp Out together. The seven days of Shelters will then lead us into the final Shabat – the seventh millennium. Chag Matsah and Kipurym will work in harmony to produce the ultimate Shabuw’ah | Promise of the Shabat as Yisra’elites are emancipated, enriched, empowered, and enlightened – the vow of seven sevens fulfilled.
In this way, everything qodesh will be tsedeq | right again, including the ‘Am of Yisra’el, Yahuwdah and Yaruwshalaim, occurring ‘al Mowryah with the restoration of the Beyth for the Beryth through the Towrah and Miqra’ey so that we can enjoy the Shabat.
Therefore, the most set-apart individual, the man most frequently anointed, is returning to anoint the qodesh Kaporeth in the only qodesh qodesh place on Earth during the qodesh Miqra’ of Kipurym. That is too many qodesh to 550ignore. And therefore, Dowd’s fulfillment of Chag Matsah with its wealth of qodesh designations in year 4000 Yah is what will enable the celebration of the Miqra’ of Kipurym with the Mashyach in year 6000 Yah.
Relative to the idea of being qodesh in this setting, there are three amazing references in the 89th Mizmowr – with the entire Psalm written to affirm that the mashach qodesh qodesh is God’s beloved son, our returning Shepherd and Lamb, Messiah and King, Dowd | David. So, with the tenth chapter, To Dowd or not to Dowd, of Coming Home devoted to painting the portrait of the man speaking to us on this occasion, a summation of its highlights will be added to the conclusion of this chapter. And along with it, we will be all the wiser to reconsider 2nd Shamuw’el 7 in light of what we have just read.
Before we move on to the next statement, I’d like to explain where we have just been. Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Courageous Man said…
“The many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with the vows pertaining to the things Seven represents, even seventy sevens (shabuwa’ym shib’iym), are determined and decreed, divided out and planned (chathak) on behalf of your people, the extended family (‘al ‘am ‘atah), and upon your set-apart city and its distinctly uncommon inhabitants (wa ‘al ‘iyr qodesh ‘atah) to bring an end to the religious rebellion, eliminating the revolting communal defiance and contrarian views (la kalah ha pesha’), to affix the signature which seals up the guilt associated with having missed the way, precluding ever being wrong again (wa la chatham chata’owth), to provide reconciliation for religious error, purging the perverse corruptions and twisted perversions (wa la kaphar ‘awon), to arrive with and bring that which is eternally right, always correct, forever accurate and honest, thereby attaining everlasting deliverance and 551vindication (wa la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation, confirming and completing these communications (wa la chatham chazown wa naby’), and to prophecy (wa naby’ – to the prophet), while also anointing the Most Set Apart (wa la mashach qodesh qodesh).” (Dany’el / Daniel 9:24)
This is Dowd’s story, explaining why he was empowered and enriched, enlightened and enabled to fulfill the decree Yahowah had made to his people through the seven Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out. With his arrival in Yaruwshalaim during Chag Matsah and again on Yowm Kipurym, he will bring an end to death and guilt, religious rebellion and contrarian views. With him serving as our lamb and shepherd, God’s people will never stray again. With the relationship reconciled on these occasions, Yisra’el will be right forevermore, always correct and thus eternally vindicated. This is the summation of all prophecy. After the fulfillment of Pesach and Matsah leading to Bikuwrym, the fruition of God’s promises transpire the moment Dowd anoints the Mercy Seat of the Covenant within the Qodesh Qodesh of God’s Home on Yowm Kipurym to usher in Sukah in the Yowbel year of 6000 Yah.
And in this light, shabuwa’ym shib’iym represents the seventy centuries of the seven Miqra’ey which encompass the rich history of God’s relationship with mankind.
Moving on, I suspect that you will be surprised as I was by what follows….
“Therefore (wa), know (yada’ – it is beneficial for you to be aware by coming to possess the information required to recognize (qal imperfect jussive)) and gain the insights to understand (wa sakal – realizing that the best option is for you to be prudent after learning, succeeding and prospering by being attentive, properly educated, intelligent, and wise, perceiving (hifil imperfect jussive)) that from (min) the going forth of the word (mowtsa’ 552dabar – the stage being set to begin the process in accord with the message) to return to restore (shuwb – to bring back to its original state), rebuilding (wa la banah – and reestablishing), Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Teaching and Guidance on Reconciliation) until the restoring testimony and eternal witness (‘ad – up to, as far as, for an extension of time to become victorious and receive the spoils evidenced by the witness) of the Son of the Sovereign who is conspicuously making this known, and who is providing the leadership and counsel (nagyd – of the one who has officially obtained the status of being properly appointed, and who has expounded upon, announced, and proclaimed the message) of the Mashyach | the anointed Messiah (mashyach – the one who is set apart, anointed, and prepared to serve as authorized) are seven sevens, and thus seven promises and fulfilled vows (shabuwa’ym shiba’ah – contractual oaths fulfilled in harmony with the promises of Shabuw’ah over seven periods of seven weeks).
Therefore (wa), in sixty-two weeks (shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym – based upon the promise of seven, in sixty and two weeks), she will be restored (shuwb – she will return and recover), and rebuilt to reestablish and fortify (wa banah – she will develop) the way to grow and expand (rachob – opening the way by expanding where people can congregate; from rachab – to grow larger and expand) by being diligent and decisive (wa charuwts – by becoming sharper, more determined, increasingly judgmental, separated and defensive) in a troubled time of oppression (wa ba tsowq ha ‘ets – during a period of anguishing subjugation, restrictions, constraints, and persecution, being harassed and pushed into a corner; from tsuwq – to constrain and oppress).” (Daniel / My God is Judgmental / Daniel 9:25)
Then after (wa ‘achar) the sixty-two weeks (ha shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym), the Anointed 553Messiah (Mashyach) will be cut off and separated (karath) but not for himself (wa ‘ayn la huw’).” (Daniel / Daniel 9:26 in part)
Gabry’el | God’s Most Confident and Capable, Courageous and Combative Man, prefaced his prophecy with yada’ and shakal. That is to say, by prudently processing this information, we will gain the insights needed to understand. He is the thinking man’s prophet.
When he is speaking, as is also the case with ‘ElYah and Yasha’yah, one’s brain needs to be engaged to keep pace. So, when he repeatedly indicates that to figure this out, we need to be discerning, learning by processing the information which he is providing in an intelligent manner, experience dictates that we follow his advice. In other words, we should consider how the pieces of the puzzle he has provided fit together as opposed to, say, plucking the mashyach references out of context to promote an agenda contrary to everything else he said. To be on the same page with the Messiah, we should linger on this page with him for a while.
He is predicting that there will be a public decree issued regarding the liberation of Yahuwdym | Jews from Babel | Commingling which Confuses. Therefore, it is worth considering the similarity between this and the decree to leave Mitsraym | the Crucibles of Religious and Political Oppression during Pesach to begin the Yatsa’ | Exodus. This is because Yahowah introduced Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah to physically liberate the Children of Yisra’el from religious and political oppression. The process would continue with Yahowah explaining the Miqra’ey to Moseh within His Towrah | Guidance, which was likely received during Shabuw’ah. This ultimately led to God’s people entering the Promised Land.
554The proclamation Dowd is currently addressing is similar. This time, Yahuwdym will be liberated from religious and political subjugation in Babel – the birthplace of the Beast which would evolve from Imperial Rome to Roman Catholicism. Not only would they be physically freed, Yahuwdym would be able to rebuild Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation and the City of Dowd.
After the passage of the specified time, Dowd’s nepesh | soul would return to his city to serve his people by fulfilling Pesach and Matsah leading to Bikuwrym. Then the promise of enrichment and empowerment was honored during Shabuw’ah. In so doing, the nepesh | souls of Covenant Members would be allowed to come home, to survive the tyranny of Roman politics and the subjugation of the Roman Catholic religion.
Nearly 40 Yowbel thereafter, we are using Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah to call the Covenant Family Home, back to the Promised Land, to their Messiah, and to Yahowah. This will culminate with the grand reunion during Dowd’s return on Kipurym | Reconciliations, which leads to Sukah | Camping Out with our Father and His Family forevermore.
In this way, with the proclamation to leave Babel | Babylon and restore Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation, one event foreshadows the next, becoming a harbinger of what follows, each step liberating us from religious influence and political control so that we can come home and live as family.
In conjunction with the redemption of his people, the Nagyd | the Son of the Sovereign, by nagyd | publicly revealing what would occur, explaining how it would transpire, and then demonstrating the character and courage to bring this to fruition, is the one who is providing leadership and counsel as ha Mashyach | the Messiah. He 555is fulfilling his vows and those of his Father over the course of the seven Mow’ed.
Recognizing that Dowd’s gruesome and heroic portrayal of his soul’s fulfillment of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym in the 22nd Mizmowr depicting what would happen to him more than 400 years prior to this proclamation, this pronouncement may be the most cathartic ever made…
“Then after (wa ‘achar) the sixty-two weeks (ha shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym), the Anointed Messiah (Mashyach) will be cut off and separated (karath) but not for himself (wa ‘ayn la huw’).”
This self-portrait is awe-inspiring, so courageous, and compassionate. It is hard to properly convey the enormity of this moment. I am overwhelmed by what he had volunteered to endure and overjoyed by what he accomplished. I am also horrified by what the religious have done to cheat him and us of the magnitude of this gift.
I’m not immune to criticism either. Over the past 22 years, I’ve made more excuses for Daniel 9:25 and 26 than anything else in the Tanakh. And now, I know that it is only from the perspective of Dowd revealing what he would achieve that his words ring true.
The only prophetic statements which rival this in the challenges they pose to translation and understanding are 2 Shamuw’el 7 and Yasha’yah 9, both of which we’ll consider again. It was in the first of these, reading Yahowah’s response to Dowd wanting to build a home for Him, that we were finally able to resolve the identity of the son and king. And all that was required for it to be consistent with the whole of God’s story was to understand the change in audience – from God speaking to Dowd through Nathan, to God speaking of him to us, and then back to speaking directly to His Son. The identity of the son in Yasha’yah 9 lay in the recognition that only one 556name was given to identify him, just as there is only one person to whom all of the accolades are applicable.
If you recall, in the preamble to this prophecy, Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Courageous Man listed many things which would be resolved as a result of what he would accomplish, some of which were achieved during Chag Matsah while most will be fulfilled upon Dowd’s Yowm Kipurym return. They are listed together because they will be accomplished by the same Messiah. And speaking of ha Mashyach, if not Dowd, how would a new one have been anointed such that we could learn of him? Dowd had clearly stated that this would bring an end to prophecy. There would be no one for Yahowah to work with or speak through at this time.
Since we know the timing of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, and we have done the math, we know that the Messiah’s arrival was four days before Pesach in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah, 33 CE, in absolute harmony with the Towrah’s instructions. Since ha Mashyach’s body was karat | cut down and died on Passover and then was karat | separated on UnYeasted Bread, a Shabat, with the Firstborn released and returned to his Father on Invitation of Firstborn Children, the individual fulfilling the Towrah’s promises could not have been the founder of a Towrah-adverse religion. That would have been absurd.
Dowd knew that something special was going to occur in his city, Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance Regarding Reconciliation, in 7 + 62 weeks of years from the pronouncement to return, not only because he was a prophet but, also, because he would endure it.
We have been given a starting point, one we will track down in a moment, pertaining to the announcement to return and restore Yaruwshalaim by the man who built Jerusalem into the City of David 3,000 years ago. He was the most prolific source of restoring testimony found 557within Yahowah’s eternal witness. Moreover, Dowd is the most conspicuous of Yisra’el’s leaders and the most profuse counselor. He is also the preeminent Mashyach, having been anointed three times on Yahowah’s instruction.
Once again, the timing, if we are to read it as such, is predicated upon shabuwa’ym shiba’ah | seven promises and contractual vows fulfilled in harmony with Shabuw’ah over seven periods of seven weeks. While Dowd will soon return to fulfill Kipurym, and then serve as the King of Sukah, the Son of God embodies Bikuwrym, and he is the product of Shabuw’ah – which occurs seven weeks later. He is Yahowah’s Bakowr | Firstborn, the foremost beneficiary of Shabuw’ah | Seven Sevens. Yahowah has overtly empowered and enriched, enlightened and enabled Dowd.
Once home, the result would have nothing to do with buildings, plazas, broad avenues, defensive walls, or moats, as other translators will claim. When we turn to the verbal root of the words Dowd selected, we discover that what is going to be shuwb | restored and banah | established is rachob | the way to grow and expand by charuwts | being diligent and decisive. What is being foretold is the fulfillment of the first three Miqra’ey in year 4000 Yah because they provide the benefits of the Covenant – the means to grow and expand – for those who are diligent and decisive regarding the terms of acceptance.
We also learn that this will occur ba tsowq ha ‘ets | in a troubling time of oppression, of anguishing subjugation, restrictions, and constraints. Dowd is speaking of Yahuwdym being persecuted and harassed by Imperial Rome and then pushed into a corner and confined by her Church.
While I’m anxious to reprise the math and verify the result, rather than interrupt the conclusion of this prophecy, 558let’s table the arithmetic until after we have listened to all Dowd has to share. After all, Dowd knew what was going to happen to himself and to his people, and he warned us about it, and nonetheless, Yahuwdym allowed it to occur…
“Then (wa) the people, the nation, and the army (‘am – the individuals and institutions) of the commanding officer and supreme leader who is making copious announcements and prolific declarations (nagyd – the absolute ruler conspicuously avowing, publishing, and confessing his message in your face) who is to come (ha bow’ – who will arrive (qal participle)) will attempt to corrupt, ravage, and destroy (shachath – will seek to ruin and render useless, castrate and cast off, annihilating (hifil imperfect)) the city (ha ‘iyr – the largest population center) and the Set Apart and the Sanctuary (wa ha qodesh – those and that which are separated and distinct, uncommon and devoted, both as individuals and as a Sanctuary).
And (wa) his demise, when he is cast off at the conclusion of this duration of time (qets huw’ – this completion of a period to be chopped down and torn asunder (note: ‘iyr, qodesh, ‘am, and nagyd are all masculine singular and could be addressed by huw’)), will be overwhelming and outrageous, especially intense with an overpowering of force (ha sheteph – manifesting an overbearing nature so as to be inundated), so that up to the very last moment in the end (wa ‘ad qets – as far as the completion of this duration of time to chop off and tear asunder), war (milchamah – a state of constant and continuous fighting) will be decreed, quickly decided upon and pronounced (charats – it will be determined, spoken about and certain) which will be devastating and desolating, appalling and horrifying (shamem – destructive and ruinous, wasteful and astonishing).” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Decide between Vindication and Condemnation / Daniel 9:26)
559A challenge to correctly rendering Dowd’s intent in this statement is the realization he previously used nagyd to speak of himself as the “Son of the Sovereign.” Often rendered “leader, officer, or official,” especially as a “prince,” who is “the son of a sovereign,” the title can be good or bad depending upon the individual and circumstance. Also, since it is derived from nagad, which speaks of “making an announcement such that something becomes conspicuously known, to make a confession or proclaim a message,” a nagyd is positive or negative based solely upon who is saying what to whom. In the initial reference, the message was overwhelmingly positive and the individual exceedingly altruistic, but now the opposite is true. Therefore, the Messiah is revealing that he has an evil counterpart, someone who is devoted to negating what he has achieved.
Should you venture into the recently completed review of Ezekiel in volumes 2 and 3 of the Babel series, you will come realize that Dowd’s adversary is ha Satan. And we are expecting to see the Devil incarnate enter Jerusalem to foil Dowd’s agenda and God’s reunion with His people on the 1st of ‘Abyb, April 3rd, 2030, two weeks of the Witnesses’ arrival on Passover.
Since Dowd will have been victimized by those affiliated with the Adversary during and following Chag Matsah, with the Romans torturing him and then religious Christians and Jews disavowing and discrediting his achievements, there is a continuity between those who destroyed the city and sanctuary in 70 CE, and again in 133 CE, even those who would abuse the Set-Apart People thereafter, and the Devil’s Advocate. This being the case, we should be on the lookout for Roman Catholics and leaders from nations which emerged from the shadow of Imperial Rome. Also, since Dowd revealed that the ‘am | people, nation, and army of the nagyd | military and political leader calling for the shachath | destruction of the 560city are related to this Adversary, we can look to Macedonia as well due to the composition of the Legions which sacked Jerusalem. Although, identifying where he comes from is vastly less important than recognizing who he represents.
It is apparent that Dowd’s evil opposite will flail and then fail before being sent off to She’owl in the fleeting moments of the 6th millennia. Upon his arrival, he will be bombastic, an outrageous character with an overwhelming presence and imposing manner. This Last Days Tour de Force will approach under the guise of a peacemaker, but he will quicky decide to rally the world against Israel, promoting a war that will be devastating and desolating.
As we discovered in the previous statement, at a time certain, 62 weeks of years after Yaruwshalaim is rebuilt, taking us forward in time to year 4000 Yah, or 33 CE, the Messiah was going to restore and reestablish the means for his people to thrive should they be diligent and decisive while being oppressed by Imperial Rome. He did so by fulfilling the Spring Mow’ed Miqra’ey, providing the benefits of the Covenant. However, after this time, the Roman Church, based upon Paul’s letters, would replace the Anointed Messiah to establish a new covenant. They would position “Jesus Christ” as the Son of God and the Messiah instead of Dowd | David, the man Yahowah decreed both titles. Christianity’s New Testament is the result.
So, this, rather than announcing the arrival of a Christian Messiah, who would die, but not for himself, says just the opposite. The actual Mashyach had this temporal existence cut short and then was separated from his Father to save his people. The greatest life ever lived, Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Confident Individual, would perform the most heroic and compassionate act, but it would be for naught – tossed aside to make two upstart religions possible. The lone justification for calling “Jesus” 561the “Christ” has been negated, eliminating the claims made by Christians and the denials which propelled Judaism’s emergence.
Paul and his Roman Church have conspired to corrupt and destroy Yahowah’s city and people. The ultimate expression of their desire will be manifest in the supreme leader who is to come. Verbose and authoritarian, his pronouncements and military interventionism will seek to negate and nullify Yaruwshalaim and Yahuwdym – even the remnant awaiting Yahowah’s return.
Since both are true, we can see the Towrahless One as outrageous and overpowering and we can view Dowd overwhelming him in the end. But until that time, the world will be engulfed in war, devastating and desolating conflict. It will be so destructive and ruinous, indeed, astonishing, appalling, and horrifying that the prophet is predicting nuclear conflagration.
In this way, the Messiah is using the past to prepare His people for the future. Just as Yahuwdym were given the opportunity to recognize the Passover Lamb and the fulfillment of Chag Matsah during a troublesome time, so it will be in the end. Yahuwdym are being afforded one final opportunity to accept what Dowd and his Father have done for them when they arrive together to enable the promise of Kipurym during the conclusion of the Time of Trouble.
In the interim, 3 years before the world goes up in smoke, this monstrous and demonic beast under the ruse of peacemaker will gabar beryth | confirm and strengthen a prevailing agreement, affirming his covenant ha rabym | with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and numerous among the elite. This is an ode to the “Two-State Solution” or, as I refer to it, “The Final Solution.” He will impose the 562conditions of UN Resolution 242, thereby certifying Israel’s destruction.
What follows affirms what we have long known. While the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles has already begun with the Islamic terrorist raid into Israel on October 7th, 2023, things will get even worse beginning in the fall of 2026 and last exactly ten years from the point of inception. And while the imposition of the suicidal Two-State Solution is ongoing as we speak, I suspect that it will take a nasty turn during Easter Week in 2027. Things will degrade quickly, with the worst Ya’aqob’s Troubles endured during the last 3½ years – starting with the 1st of ‘Abyb, 5997 Yah | April 3rd, 2030 at sunset. The Shabat will be outlawed, Pesach corrupted, and Matsah relegated to an ingredient. There will be no Kipurym for the Towrahless, putting God’s gift out of reach. And Yahowah’s Miqra’ey will be replaced with the likes of the Feast of the Beast where Dowd’s body and blood are on the menu. There will be a No Moon Day, a Do Nothing Festival, and All Stupid Day for the faithful – each endorsed by Ezekiel’s Lord.
It is the most abhorrent and appalling of abominations, a monstrous religious edict designed to stun and stupefy people far and wide. Robbed of their ability to be perceptive and think critically, the preponderance of people will die. And it will all happen quickly and decisively, paralyzing a world too traumatized to respond appropriately.
“And therefore (wa), he, as an exceedingly influential person, will vault himself into prominence by arrogantly confirming and imposing (gabar – he will strengthen and empower, then triumph by imposing a self-aggrandizing and overbearing) a treaty, a covenant agreement and arrangement (beryth – an international contractual compact and binding pledge) with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of 563people, especially the elitists (la ha rabym – including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of the populous, and with numerous among the elite) either for one week, based upon a single promise, or during a particular Shabuw’ah (‘echad shabuwa’).” (Dany’el / Daniel 9:27 in part)
The implication is that Satan’s Advocate will vault himself into prominence by convincing Progressive and Orthodox Israelis that they will achieve peace by breaking their nation into pieces and giving them to him to administer an Islamic state, with Israel retreating to her 1967 borders. The last time Muslims and Jews were in this position, the Arabs schemed to destroy Israel. The notion that it will be different this time is ludicrous. With Israel defenseless and vulnerable, Peace Now will rapidly devolve into a final and horrifying battle for control of what remains. This is Satan’s last-ditch effort to forestall Dowd’s homecoming on Kipurym by exterminating Jews. With no one to turn for support, the carnage will be considerable. And if not for Dowd’s return to defend his people, all would be lost.
Should I be interpreting Dowd’s prophetic testimony and the world stage correctly, we are in a position to understand why, immediately after his fulfillment of Chag Matsah, Dowd turned his sights upon his and his people’s Adversary. For him, it will seem as if going from one day to the next, progressing through the Miqra’ey. After giving Yisra’el an extension on life and redeeming his people during Pesach and Matsah, he became Yahowah’s Firstborn on Bikuwrym, tangibly showing the way home. Then following the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Ingatherings, he will return on Kipurym to bring an end to Yisra’el’s Adversary. Yahowah will repair the damage and restore the war-ravaged Earth for Dowd to reign as King of Sukah. That is the plan as presented by Gabry’el | God’s Most 564Capable and Combative Man – the very individual responsible for achieving it.
“But halfway through the week (wa chatsy shabuwa’ – at the midpoint of the seven years), he will stop the observance of the Shabat and seek to forestall the benefit of the sacrifice which had been freely offered as a gift (shabath zebach wa minchah).
The most extreme aspect (wa ‘al kanaph – upon a flight to the far extremity of being separated and distant, this wing) of this vile and abhorrent action of repulsive religious idolatry (shiquwtsym – of vile and repulsive edicts, detestable and abhorrent acts) will devastate, desolate, and incapacitate (shamem – stun and stupefy) up to the very end, bringing destruction and annihilation, along with the conclusion of the restoring witness (wa ‘ad kalah – a great longing with all-encompassing anxiety, ushering in complete and utter destruction while many die).
It will occur quickly and decisively, with determination and decrees (wa charats – it is certain and decided) profusely poured out (natak – being brought forth and expressed without restraint) upon the deserted, desolated, and destroyed who are astonished and stupefied and who will perish because they are too stunned to respond (‘al shamem – upon the devastated and destitute, the estranged and ravaged who are horrified and dismayed).” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Judge / Daniel 9:27)
And on that happy note, we conclude the 9th chapter of Dany’el. It is as bad as bad ever gets. Although now, the truth is evident: Dowd was speaking to us of his return to fulfill Chag Matsah and then again on Yowm Kipurym to save and reconcile his people.
As we will discover when we turn to the Adversary’s playbook in Ezekiel, for Satan to prevail in his quest to rise 565above Yahowah in Yisra’el, he must negate what Dowd has achieved and forestall his return. Satan’s influence with Sha’uwl | Paul and Shim’own | Peter in the creation of the New Testament, Imperial Rome and Roman Catholicism to impose the toxin on the world, Rabbi Akiba and the institutionalizing of Rabbinic Judaism to lead Jews away from the truth, and then Muhammad, through whom he became Allah and ushered in unmitigated anti-Semitism through Allahu-Akbar, has managed to negate Dowd’s sacrifice for the preponderance of people. But to forestall Dowd’s return, he must either persuade every remaining Jew to choose him over Yahowah or kill them all such that there is no one left to reconcile. And that is what is being explained in Daniel 9:27.
Now that we have listened to all Dowd had to say, it’s time to fill in some of the gaps. And first among them is to return to the math itself. In this regard, it is helpful to know that a prophetic year isn’t equivalent to a solar year. And so, to ascertain the number of days in “sixty-two weeks” of years, we should adjust our measurements to Yah’s prophetic process. This consists of twelve months of 30 days – not the 365.242 to which we are accustomed.
This duration of time also differed from the Babylonian method because they observed a lunisolar year which added an intercalary month every five to six years to prevent the shifting of seasons. They were aware that the solar year was 365¼ days long, but a lunar calendar remained the only practical timekeeping device before mass communication and mechanics. A lunisolar system gave everyone a reliable means to “set their clocks.” Every renewed moon marked the start of a new month.
The Jews used a different method with the same result. An intercalary month was added based on barley, the first grain to rise in the spring. Fruit harvested in the suburbs of Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem was tested as they approached the nearest renewed moon to the vernal equinox. If the 566grain was green and growing, still laden with water, it would dance in a hot pan placed above an open fire. In that case, the next renewing moon would designate the beginning of a new year. However, since this could lead to confusion over centuries of time, with no way to predict one year to the next in advance, the length of a prophetic year – 360 days – was established in Bare’syth / Genesis, where events related to the flood are given in both days and years.
The date of the “word which came forth to restore and rebuild Jerusalem” is presented in Nachemyah / Nehemiah. There we read…
“And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when…I [Nachemyah]…said to the king, ‘If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Yahuwdah, to the city of my fathers’ tombs, that I may rebuild it.’ …So it pleased the king to send me.” (Nachemyah / Yah Comforts / Nehemiah 2:1-6)
Now that archeologists have discovered and translated thousands of cuneiform tablets from the ruins of Babylon, we have come to learn that Artaxerxes was not able to assume the throne until 464 BCE. That would make the twentieth year of his reign, and thus the starting date of Dany’el’s | Daniel’s prophecy, the 1st of ‘Abyb / Nisan, 444 BCE.
So, from the ‘Abyb 1, 444 BCE date, we must add 7 weeks of years (49 prophetic years) until Yaruwshalaim would be rebuilt. Then there would be another 62 weeks (434 prophetic years) for a total of 483 years until the one miscast by the Romans, but yet authorized by God, would fulfill Pesach.
To calculate his arrival, we must multiply 483 (49 + 434) years by the 360 days in the Towrah’s prophetic 567calendar. This equals 173,880 days, or 476 solar years plus an additional 20 days (when divided by 365.25), which we should then add to our starting date of Nissan 1 in 444 BCE – twenty years after Artaxerxes I secured the throne. Although, that’s not easy. The solar-lunar calendar used at the time by the Hebrews and Babylonians featured a 354-day year with the addition of 29.5 days for an additional lunar month 7 out of every 19 years. There was no Julian calendar at the time and the concept of a leap day to properly adjust the solar-lunar calendar wouldn’t be conceived until halfway through this period. That is all to say, Dowd’s intent with the prophecy was to get the thoughtful reader to realize that when he adds 476 years from Nisan in 444 BCE they would arrive in ‘Abyb in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah. That is to say, in late April or early May 33 CE (realizing that there was no year zero in the Julian or Gregorian calendars). The rest was simple.
In 33 CE, the Vernal Equinox was on March 22nd. The nearest emerging lunar crescent was on March 19th. And therefore, 476 years and 20 days from the first day of the new year in 444 BCE brings us to the midpoint of Chag Matsah in 33 CE when the Messiah was cut off from the living on our behalf.
What has been lost on so many is how exquisitely the detail of the prophecy matched its fulfillment. Dowd’s entry into Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem coincided with the day the paschal lamb would have been brought into the household, on the tenth day of ‘Abyb, when, just as they had in Chazaqyah | Hezekiah’s time, large crowds had gathered in Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation. He lived and walked among the people. They got to know him. And as the sun set, and the fourteenth day of ‘Abyb began, he observed the Passover feast, expecting us to remember and respect the role he played to fulfill the promise.
568Dowd’s sacrifice corresponded perfectly with the designated time of Passover. It was just before sunset on the fourteenth day of ‘Abyb that his nepesh | soul surrendered his mortal body and Yahowah’s Spirit.
The prophecy of the first Miqra’ | Invitation to be Called Out and Meet of Pesach | Passover was fulfilled literally, right down to the last detail. There should have been no mistaking what he had done – at least for those who “darash – consistently seek to know Yahowah, who read the Towrah to find the way to Him, who ponder the implications of the relationship He intended by diligently studying the Prophets.”
Showing our appreciation for what Father and Son have done, we should answer God’s invitation and observe the Miqra’ of Pesach, keeping this appointment with Yahowah. The 14th day of ‘Abyb is not difficult to establish. Passover is marked by the full moon closest to the spring equinox.
We should observe Pesach | Passover by seeking to understand the intent of Yahowah’s instructions, doing as much of what the Towrah teaches as possible. This Chag | Feast should be celebrated with Yisra’el and the Covenant Family in mind. The menu is roasted lamb and unyeasted bread with olive oil and bitter herbs, consistent with that of the first celebrants.
While we are reminiscing over the promise of life eternal, we can focus on what occurred during the first Passover as Yahowah presents His story in Shemowth / Exodus 12 and 13. Then qara’ | read the prophecies in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 53 and Mizmowr / Psalms 22 and 88 – all of which are translated for your benefit within these volumes. They speak vividly of Father and Son’s intent and provisions for their People, Yisra’el, and for Yahowah’s Beryth | Covenant Family.
569It is also instructive to contemplate the “coming leader” and his people, nations, institutions, and army. Should this be prophetic of Vespasian and Titus, using them as a harbinger of the Towrahless One, then we can examine the source of the Legions which were used to destroy the temple in 70 CE. These included the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris under the command of the future Emperors Vespasian and his son, Titus. And as an interesting comparison between good and evil, the precious metals contained in Yahowah’s Temple were used to fund the construction of the Colosseum in Rome – the ultimate showcase for all that ails humankind.
Since it is possible to extrapolate from the text that the “people” who destroyed the city and temple are “of the coming leader,” it behooves us to probe a little deeper if we want to know the country or region from which the Beast will emerge. Therefore, I have provided this quick historical review of the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris Legions.
Beginning with the V Macedonica, it was created by Octavian in 43 BCE. As the name implies, it was originally stationed in Macedonia, the home of Alexander the Great. Its symbol was the bull, identifying its spiritual allegiance. Around 6 CE, the V Legion was moved slightly northeast to Moesia, the Roman Province situated in the Balkans along the south bank of the Danube. This included the territories of the modern-day Republic of North Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Southern Moldova, and the Black Sea coastal region of Romania.
In 66 CE, Nero assigned the Macedonica Legion to Titus Flavius Vespasianus to counter the revolt in the Iudaea Province. After Galilee surrendered without a fight, the Vth conquered the Samaritans before camping in Emmaus, where tombstones dedicated to Macedonian soldiers remain to this day. Then after Nero’s suicide, and the proclamation of Vespasian as emperor, his son, Titus, 570concluded the final siege and utter destruction of the city and temple. The Macedonian Legion returned home, eventually falling under the command of Emperor Hadrian. Ultimately the Vth Legion would be incorporated into the Byzantine army. But it is safe to say that its “people” at the time designated in the prophecy were principally Macedonians under the control of Rome.
The XII Fulminata Legion, whose emblem was the thunderbolt, was created by Julius Caesar in 58 BCE. He deployed it during the Gallic wars. Sixty years later, the XIIth was dispatched to guard the Euphrates River crossing near Melitene, in what is today Eastern Turkey. Six hundred years before Muhammad and his creation of Islam, and twelve hundred years before the Mongol subjugation of Anatolia gave rise to the Ottoman Empire, this region was populated by Assyrians and Kurds. It was a hotly contested swath of earth along a great river at the intersection of Asia, Africa, and Europe, a land that was controlled over the centuries by the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and then Romans. But eventually the Byzantines, Ottomans, and Turks would claim dominion – oppressing both Armenians and Kurds in the process.
The Fulminata Legion’s most famous battle was Caesar’s campaign against Pompey and the Roman Senate in Pharsalus, Greece in 48 BCE during the Roman Civil War. It was by way of the XIIth that General Julius Caesar defeated the Roman Republic. A century later in 58 CE, the XIIth Legion was used by Nero to defeat the Parthians, restoring Armenia to Roman control. But just four years later, the Fulminata was defeated by the Parthians and Armenians and forced to retreat from the region.
Then in 66 CE, after the Zealot revolt had destroyed the Roman garrison in Jerusalem, the XIIth Legion was sent to retaliate. But it was immediately rejected by Gaius Gallus, the Legatus of Syria, when he saw that the XIIth 571Legion was too weak to fight. Proving him right, while marching out of the region, the Legion was ambushed and defeated by the Galilean Zealot Eleazar ben Simon at Beit-Horon (named after a Canaanite deity) in Yisra’el. However, the XIIth would be reformed and rearmed, ultimately fighting so ruthlessly in support of Flavius Vespasian in the war, its soldiers avenged their defeat and facilitated their general’s successful bid for the imperial throne. To a large degree, this fateful outcome occurred because the Jews were divided as various religious parties, landlords, and warlords vied for power.
After the destruction of the city and its temple, the Fulminata Legion was briefly sent back to guard the Euphrates border at Melitene, before being reclaimed by Vespasian, this time in the Caucasus to support the allied kingdoms of Iberia and Albania. The XIIth was deployed by Trajan to annex Armenia. So, the “people” marching under the banner of the Lightning Bolt were originally Romans who were gradually outnumbered by Assyrians and Kurds.
This brings us to the third Legion used to destroy Jerusalem: the XV Apollinaris. It was also recruited by Octavian. They bore the emblem of Apollo. The XVth was initially deployed in Sicily but was garrisoned in Illyricum – a Roman Province which overlapped much of Macedonia and today’s Albania, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Kosovo. In 6 BCE, the Legion fought for Emperor Tiberius against the Marcomanni in Pannonia – a region that is now Southern Hungary, Eastern Austria, Northern Croatia, Northwestern Serbia, Slovenia, and Bosnia. The Apollinaris remained in this region, fighting in Carnuntum along the Danube not far from Vienna until it was deployed to Syria by Nero in 61 CE to battle the Parthians.
The XVth Legion was sent to Alexandria briefly before engaging in the First Jewish Revolt. The XV Apollinaris 572defeated the towns of Jotapata in Northern Israel and Gamla in the Golan Heights. Under Titus’ command, they captured the Jewish traitor-turned-historian Josephus. Then after successfully suppressing the Jewish Revolt, the XVth returned to Carnuntum along the shores of the Danube. Therefore, the “people” of Apollo were a blend of Macedonians, Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats.
Collectively then, Macedonians are the most prevalent among the “people of the coming leader.” But we cannot exclude Romans, Armenians, and Kurds or, to a lesser degree, completely discount the possibility of Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats. Altogether, this scenario fits beautifully with other revelations found in Dany’el which suggest that Satan’s destructive messenger will hail from the intersection of the areas conquered by Alexander of Macedonia and later controlled by Imperial Rome. While the ultimate bad boy of history might emerge from the Balkans, it is likely that the Beast will call Macedonia home before he rises up to influence three of the following: Greece, Albania, Serbia, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy, en route to beguiling the whole world to submit to his dictates.
Bringing this all together, the 9th chapter of Dany’el opens by asking us to recalibrate our perspective on what is being revealed…
“In the first year of (ba shanah ‘echad la) Darius (Daryawesh), the son of (ben) Xerxes (‘Achashwerowsh), a descendant of (min zera’) Maday (Maday), who (‘asher) reigned as king over (malak ‘al malkuwth) the Chaldeans (Kasdym), (Dany’el 9:1) in the first year of his reign (ba shanah ‘echad la malak huw’), I (‘any), Dany’el (Dany’el), by being perceptive and discriminating, came to understand (byn) in (ba) the written scrolls (ha sepher) that the number of years (misphar ha shanah) which will transpire (‘asher hayah) in the Word (dabar) of Yahowah (Yahowah) to (‘el) the 573Prophet (naby’) Yirma’yah (Yirma’yah) for the destruction (la charbah) of Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) to be fulfilled and completed (la male’) was seventy years (shibi’ym shanah). (Dany’el 9:2)
I offered myself (wa nathan ‘eth paneh ‘any) to the Almighty, my Lord and Upright One (‘edon ‘any ha ‘elohym), to request (la baqash) intervention and while pleading for intercession or to be set apart as discriminating (taphilah) while longing for a favorable outcome (wa tachanuwn), abstaining from food in coarse common clothing (ba tsowm wa saq) and humility (‘epher). (Dany’el 9:3)
So, I chose to assess the situation and contemplate the implications because I sought a way to intervene that could be justified (wa palal) concerning and approaching (la) Yahowah (YaHoWaH), my God (‘elohym ‘any). And I expressed my appreciation, acknowledging my familiarity with the factors associated with knowing (yadah).
I said (wa ‘amar), ‘I think that this is vital that You respond (‘ana’), my Lord (‘adony), the God (ha ‘el), regarding the immensely important, especially intense, courageous, capable, and combative man (ha gadowl) who is respected and admired (wa ha yare’) for having closely examined and carefully considered (shamar) the Covenant (ha beryth), and who demonstrates loyal love and devotion (wa ha chesed) to those who appreciate and prefer him (la ‘achab huw’), as well as for those who approach by observing (wa la shamar) the instructive conditions pertaining to what he has offered and expects in return (mitswah huw’).’ (Dany’el 9:4)
We have missed the way (chata’) and we are guilty of perverse corruptions and distortions (‘awah). We have violated the standard (wa rasa’) because (wa) we have rebelled (marad).
574We have turned away from (wa suwr min) the terms and conditions of Your relationship agreement (mitswah ‘atah) and also from (wa min) Your means to make informed and rational decisions regarding the way to justly resolve disputes (mishpat ‘atah). (Daniel 9:5)
We have not listened to (wa lo’ shama’ ‘el) Your coworkers (‘ebed ‘atah), the prophets (ha naby’), who, to show the way to receive the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), communicated the Word (dabar) in Your name (ba shem ‘atah) to our leaders (melek ‘anachnuw), to our societal, military, and economic elite (sar ‘anachnuw), to our forefathers (‘ab ‘anachnuw), and also to all (wa ‘el kol) the people (‘am) of the Land (ha ‘erets). (Daniel 9:6)
Approaching You (la ‘atah) are those who are right (ha tsadaqah), but for us (wa la ‘anachnuw) is the presence of confusion and shame (bosheth ha paneh).
It is the same to this day (ka ha yowm ha zeh) for the people of Yahuwdah (la ‘iysh Yahuwdah) and the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim (wa la yashab Yaruwshalaim), even for all Yisra’el (wa la kol Yisra’el), those who are nearby (ha qarowb) and those who are far away (wa ha rachowq) in all of the places (ba kol ha ‘erets) which You have scattered them (nadach hem sham) due to their disloyalty and their fraudulent claims (ba ma’al hem). This makes them untrustworthy and unreliable, as well as in violation of the agreement (‘asher ma’al) with You (ba ‘atah). (Daniel 9:7)
Yahowah (Yahowah), on us (la ‘anachnuw) is the presence (paneh) of confusion and humiliation as a result of our improper attitude (bosheth ha paneh), from our political and religious authorities (melek ‘anachnuw) to our leaders’ representatives (wa la sar ‘anachnuw), as well as our forefathers (la ‘ab 575‘anachnuw), because we have erred, missing the way (‘asher chata’) to approach You (la ‘atah). (Dany’el 9:8)
According to (la) my Lord (‘edown ‘any), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), the exceedingly merciful (ha rachamym), compassionate, and forgiving (wa ha rachamym), indeed (ky), we have rebelled (marad) against Him (ba huw’). (Daniel 9:9)
In addition (wa), we have not listened to (lo’ shama’) Yahowah’s (Yahowah), our God’s (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), voice (ba qowl) by having our steps guided by (la halak ba) His Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah huw’) which (‘asher) He provided (nathan) in our presence (la paneh ‘anachnuw) through the hand (ba yad) of His servants (‘ebed), the prophets (ha naby’). (Daniel 9:10)
All (wa kol) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el) has passed over (‘abar) Your Towrah (‘eth Towrah ‘atah) and has turned away (wa suwr), refusing to listen (la bilty shama’) to the sound of Your voice (ba qowl ‘atah).
As a result (wa), the curse of Allah (‘alah) will be poured out (nathak) upon us (‘al ‘anachnuw) in addition to (wa) the sworn promise (ha shabuwa’) which (‘asher) was written (kathab) in the Towrah (ba Towrah) of Moseh (Mosheh), the one working with (‘ebed) the Almighty (ha ‘elohym), because (ky) we have been wrong and have missed the way (chata’) according to him (la huw’). (Daniel 9:11)
He confirmed (wa quwm) with (‘eth) the words he revealed (dabar huw’), and which he spoke against us (‘asher dabar ‘al ‘anachnuw), in opposition to our judgment regarding our political and religious leaders (wa ‘al shaphat ‘anachnuw), who (‘asher) have ruled over us (shaphat ‘anachnuw), to bring (la bow’) great (gadowl) misery and suffering (ra’ah) upon us (‘al ‘anachnuw) which has not occurred (‘asher lo’ ‘asah) in 576any other place under (tachath) the whole of the heavens (kol ha shamaym) similar to what has and will occur (ka ‘asher ‘asah) in Yaruwshalaim (ba Yaruwshalaim). (Daniel 9:12)
Consistent with what is written (ka ‘asher kathab) in the Towrah (ba Towrah) of Moseh (Mosheh), all of this suffering and misfortune (kol ‘eth ra’ah ha zo’th) has and will continue to come upon us (bow’ ‘al ‘anachnuw). And yet, we neither request nor seek (wa lo’ chalah) the presence of Yahowah, our God (‘eth paneh Yahowah ‘elohym ‘anachnuw).
We cannot return because we have not changed (lo’ shuwb) from (min) our depravity and corruptions (‘aown / ‘awon ‘anachnuw), and that is because they affect our ability to be prudent and thus understand (wa la sakal) the breadth of Your support and verifications of Your reliability (ba ‘emeth ‘atah). (Daniel 9:13)
Therefore (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) was vigilant, and He did not hesitate (shaqad) to bring these difficult circumstances and consequences upon us (‘al ha ra’ah wa bow’ hy’ ‘al ‘anachnuw). Obviously (ky), Yahowah (Yahowah), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), is right (tsadyq) in everything He does (‘al kol ma’aseh huw’), including when He acts for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher ‘asah). Therefore, it is we who have not listened to Him speaking to us (wa lo’ shama’ ba qowl huw’). (Dany’el 9:14)
And so then (wa ‘atah), wanting to provide the benefits of the proper way (‘asher), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw) descended to withdraw (yatsa’) your people (‘eth ‘am ‘atah) from the land of subjugation by religious and political tyrants (min ‘erets Mitsraym) with a firm and unyielding, resolute and uncompromising hand (ba yad chazaq).
577Since then (wa), you have made (‘asah) a reputation for yourself (la ‘atah shem) which is similar to today (ka ha yowm ha zeh). We have been mistaken and have gone astray (chata’), having condemned ourselves (rasha’). (Daniel:15)
O my Upright One (‘edown ‘any), in a manner consistent with all that makes You worthy and right (ka kol tsadaqah ‘atah), withhold (shuwb na’) Your frustration (‘aph ‘atah), Your displeasure and antagonism (wa chemah ‘atah) toward Your city, Jerusalem (min ‘iyr ‘atah Yaruwshalaim), Your Set-Apart Mountain (har qodesh har), even (ky) toward our offenses (ba chete’ ‘anachnuw) and our guilt (wa ba cheta’ ‘anachnuw), in addition to the misdeeds and religious perversity (wa ba ‘awon) of our ancestors (‘ab ‘anachnuw).
Yaruwshalaim | Jerusalem (Yaruwshalaim) and Your people (wa ‘am ‘atah) are dishonored and seen as contemptible (la cherphah) among all who surround us (la kol sabyb ‘anachnuw). (Dany’el 9:16)
This being so (wa ‘atah), our God (‘elohym ‘anachnuw), choose to listen and be receptive (shama’) to the plea for intercession and desire to be set apart as discriminating (‘el taphilah) made by Your servant (‘ebed ‘atah), along with his longing for mercy and compassion (wa ‘el tachanuwn huw’), for the light of Your presence to shine (wa ‘owr paneh ‘atah) upon Your Set-Apart people and place (‘al miqdash ‘atah) for the benefit of the deserted (la ma’an shamem), my Lord (‘edown ‘any). (Dany’el 9:17)
My God (‘elohym ‘any), incline Your ear (natah ‘ozen ‘atah) and listen (wa shama’). Open Your eyes (paqach ‘any ‘atah) and see (wa ra’ah) our ravaged and deserted places (shamem ‘anachnuw) and the city (wa ha 578‘iyr) which (‘asher) invite and call out (qara’) in Your name (shem ‘atah ‘ah hy’).
However (ky), not upon our righteousness (‘al tsadaqah ‘anachnuw) because we would fail (naphal). Our plea for mercy (tachanuwn ‘anachnuw) in Your presence (la paneh ‘atah) is because of (ky ‘al) Your compassion (rachamym ‘atah) which is great (ha rab). (Dany’el 9:18)
My Lord (‘adony), I am emphatic in wanting You to listen (shama’). My Lord (‘adony), I am insistent and emotional in my appeal for You to remove the guilt and forgive (salach).
My Lord (‘adony), on my own initiative, I believe that it is essential that You pay attention and become responsive (qashab) because it is vital that You act (wa ‘asah).
Do not remain inactive, be hesitant, or delay and do not wait any longer or even do something different (‘al ‘achar) for Your own sake (la ma’an ‘atah), O my God (‘elohym ‘any), because indeed (ky), Your name (shem ‘atah) is called (qara’) over and above Your city (‘al ‘iyr ‘atah) and upon Your people (wa ‘al ‘am ‘atah).’ (Dany’el 9:19)
Then (wa) I was conversing (‘owd ‘any dabar) and pondering questions while contemplating their answers (wa palal), expressing gratitude for casting aside (wa yadah) my pardonable offenses for having missed the way (chata’ah ‘any) and the consequence of my people, Yisra’el, going astray (wa chata’ah ‘am ‘any Yisra’el), presenting (naphal) my earnest request for the favor of being able (tachinah) to approach the presence of (la paneh) Yahowah (YaHoWaH), my God (‘elohy), on (‘al) the set-apart (qodesh) mountain (har) of my God (‘elohy). (Daniel 9:20)
579While I was continuing to (wa ‘owd ‘any) communicate, (dabar) with the intent of being distinct and different (‘el taphilah), then (wa) Gabry’el | God’s Most Confident and Capable, Courageous and Combative Individual (wa Gabry’el), the man (ha ‘iysh) whom, to reveal the proper path (‘asher), I had seen (ra’ah) during the initial prophetic revelation (ba ha chazown ba ha tachilah), offering advice while preoccupied with the destruction of existing militaries, maneuvering quickly between battles (ya’aph ba ya’aph), reached out to make contact with me (naga’ ‘el ‘any) around the time of the evening (ka ‘eth ‘ereb) offering, the apportionment which is bestowed as a gift (minchah). (Dany’el 9:21)
So (wa) he made the connections to encourage understanding (byn). He spoke with me (wa dabar ‘im ‘any), and he said (wa ‘amar), ‘Dany’el (Dany’el), now at this time in this sequence of events (‘atah), I have come forth (yatsa’) to provide insights and instruction which, if you are circumspect and considerate, will promote (la sakal ‘atah) understanding through discernment (bynah). (Daniel 9:22)
In the beginning, the sickening and wearisome (ba tachilah) matter (dabar) of your desire for favors and your pleading for mercy (tachanuwn ‘atah) was brought up (yatsa’). So, I, myself, have returned and come (wa ‘any) to conspicuously report an informative announcement, making this known (la nagad), because (ky) you are overly needy (chamadowth ‘atah).
Therefore (wa), you will want to be considerate and strive to understand, being diligent and systematic in your evaluation (byn) of this message (ba ha dabar), choosing to make the connections needed to comprehend (wa byn) what is being revealed (ba ha mar’eh).’ (Dany’el 9:23)
580The many promises associated with Shabuw’ah and the Shabat, along with the vows pertaining to the things Seven represents, even seventy sevens (shabuwa’ym shib’iym), are determined and decreed, divided out and planned (chathak) on behalf of your people, the extended family (‘al ‘am ‘atah), and upon your set-apart city and its distinctly uncommon inhabitants (wa ‘al ‘iyr qodesh ‘atah) to bring an end to the religious rebellion, eliminating the revolting communal defiance and contrarian views (la kalah ha pesha’), to affix the signature which seals up the guilt associated with having missed the way, precluding ever being wrong again (wa la chatham chata’owth), to provide reconciliation for religious error, purging the perverse corruptions and twisted perversions (wa la kaphar ‘awon), to arrive with and bring that which is eternally right, always correct, forever accurate and honest, thereby attaining everlasting deliverance and vindication (wa la bow’ tsedeq ‘owlam), to provide a personal seal and signature to revelation, confirming and completing these communications (wa la chatham chazown wa naby’), and to prophecy (wa naby’ – to the prophet), while also anointing the Most Set Apart (wa la mashach qodesh qodesh). (Dany’el 9:24)
Therefore (wa), know, because it is beneficial for you to be aware by coming to possess the information required to recognize reality (yada’) and gain the insights to understand, realizing that it is prudent after learning to perceive (wa sakal) that from (min) the going forth of the word (mowtsa’ dabar) to return to restore (shuwb), reestablishing (wa la banah), Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Teaching and Guidance on Reconciliation (Yaruwshalaim) until the restoring testimony and eternal witness (‘ad) of the Son of the Sovereign who is conspicuously making this known, and who is providing the leadership and counsel (nagyd) of the Mashyach | the anointed Messiah (mashyach) are seven 581sevens, and thus seven promises and fulfilled vows (shabuwa’ym shiba’ah).
Therefore (wa), in sixty-two weeks (shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym), she will be restored (shuwb) and rebuilt to reestablish and fortify (wa banah) the way to grow and expand (rachob) by being diligent and decisive (wa charuwts) in a troubled time of oppression (wa ba tsowq ha ‘ets). (Daniel 9:25)
Then after (wa ‘achar) the sixty-two weeks (ha shabuwa’ym sheshym wa shanaym), the Anointed Messiah (Mashyach) will be cut off and separated (karath) but not for himself (wa ‘ayn la huw’).
Then (wa) the people and nation, even the army (‘am), of the commanding officer and supreme leader who is making copious announcements and prolific declarations (nagyd) who is to come (ha bow’) will attempt to corrupt, ravage, and destroy (shachath) the city (ha ‘iyr) and the Set Apart and Sanctuary (wa ha qodesh).
And (wa) his demise, when he is cast off at the conclusion of this duration of time (qets huw’), will be overwhelming and outrageous, especially intense with an overpowering of force (ba ha sheteph), so that up to the very last moment in the end (wa ‘ad qets), war (milchamah) will be decreed, quickly decided upon and pronounced (charats) which will be devastating and desolating, appalling and horrifying (shamem). (Dany’el 9:26)
So (wa), he, as an exceedingly influential person, will vault himself into prominence by arrogantly confirming and imposing (gabar) a treaty, a covenant agreement and arrangement (beryth) with a great many, including plenty of rabbis, the preponderance of people, especially the elitists (la ha rabym), either for 582one week, based upon a single promise, or during a particular Shabuw’ah (‘echad shabuwa’).
And then either halfway through the week, in the midst of the promise, or during Shabuw’ah (wa chatsy ha shabuwa’), he will stop the observance of the Shabat and seek to forestall the benefit of the sacrifice which had been freely offered as a gift (shabath zebach wa minchah).
The most extreme aspect (wa ‘al kanaph) of this vile and abhorrent action of repulsive religious idolatry (shiquwtsym) will devastate, desolate, and incapacitate (shamem) up to the very end, bringing destruction and annihilation, along with the conclusion of the restoring witness (wa ‘ad kalah).
It will occur quickly, demonstrably, and decisively, with determination and decrees (wa charats) profusely poured out (natak) upon the deserted, desolated, and destroyed who are astonished and stupefied and who will perish because they are too stunned to respond (‘al shamem).’” (Dany’el / God is My Means to Judge / Daniel 9:27)
There are many scores of prophetic pronouncements which serve to affirm that Dany’el 9 was both orchestrated by Dowd and is descriptive of his fulfilment of the Mow’ed Miqra’ey. And so as promised, I would like to share some of my favorites with you. I will do so in summary form and with minimal commentary since they are amplified elsewhere.
We will cover these in chronological order beginning with Shamuw’el – which is the first prophecy I attempted to translate some 22 years ago. The last time we 583contemplated its significance was following this statement in the midst of Zakaryah’s pronouncements regarding Dowd’s role in the fulfillment of Yowm Kipurym…
“Say to him (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’ la ‘amar), ‘Thus says Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the heavenly messengers (tsaba’), by communicating (la ‘amar), “Behold, look now and see (hineh), the individual (‘ysh) who is known as and is named (shem huw’) Tsemach | the Branch (Tsemach) will branch out and grow in his place (wa min tachath huw’ tsamach), and he will build at that moment in time (wa banah) the Royal Residence and Temple (hykal) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH). (Zakaryah 6:12)
He will construct (banah) the Royal Residence, the Temple (‘eth hekal), of Yahowah (YaHoWaH) while his authority, honor, and countenance (howd) are lifted up and upheld (nasa’). Then (wa) he will sit and remain (yashab) upon his throne (‘al kise’ huw’) and he will govern with symbolic narratives, showing leadership by explaining things in a memorable way by making the kind of comparisons which lead to understanding (mashal).
Additionally (wa), he will be (hayah) adorned in priestly garments (kohen) upon his seat of honor (‘al kise’ huw’). Advice and counsel (‘etsah) on peace and prosperity, satisfaction and contentment, and the blessings of reconciliation and freedom (shalowm) will exist (hayah) to encourage understanding by making the connections between both of these responsibilities (bayn shanaym hem).”’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:13)
Then, as now, this becomes especially relevant in determining who is the Son of God, who is returning as King, and who will restore Yahowah’s Home…
“It came to pass (wa hayah ky) when the king sat down and relaxed in his home (ha melek yashab ba beyth 584huw’), because Yahowah (wa YaHoWaH) had given him comforting respite (nuwach la huw’) from his adversaries and rancorous foes (min sabyb min kol ‘oyeb huw’), (Shamuw’el 2 7:1) that the king said (wa ‘amar ha melek) to Nathan, the prophet (‘el Nathan ha naby’), ‘Please look around (ra’ah na’). I live (‘anoky yashab) in a house of cedar (ba beyth ‘erez), but the Ark of God (wa ‘arown ha ‘elohym) sits within curtains (yashab ba tawek ha yarya’ah).’ (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:2)
So, Nathan said to the king (wa ‘amar Nathan ‘el ha melek), ‘Choose to go and do all that is in your best judgment (kol ‘asher ba lebab ‘atah) because, surely (ky) Yahowah is with you (Yahowah ‘im ‘atah).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:3)
However, that evening (wa hayah ba ha laylah ha huw’) the word of Yahowah came to Nathan (dabar Yahowah hayah ‘el Nathan). He conveyed (la ‘amar), (Shamuw’el 2 7:4) ‘Go and tell (halak wa ‘amar ‘el) Dowd, My coworker (Dowd ‘ebed ‘any), that this is what Yahowah says (koh Yahowah ‘amar). “Why should you build Me a home to live in (ha ‘atah banah la ‘any beyth la yashab ‘any)? (Shamuw’el 2 7:5)
Indeed (ky), I have not lived (lo’ yashab) in a house (ba beyth) since the time (wa min yowm) that I lifted up to be with Me (‘alah ‘any ‘eth) the Children of Yisra’el (beny Yisra’el) out of the crucibles of oppression in Mitsraym(min Mitsraym). Then as an ongoing witness to the restoring testimony, up to (wa ‘ad) this day (ha yowm ha zeh), I have been moving about (wa hayah halak) in a tent dwelling as a tabernacle and home (ba ‘ohel wa ba mishkan). (Shamuw’el 2 7:6)
During any of that time, when showing the way to the benefits of the relationship, that (ba kol ‘asher) I traveled (halak) with all of the Children of Yisra’el (ba kol beny Yisra’el), did I say a single word (ha dabar 585dabar) to one (‘eth ‘echad) of the leaders of the tribes of Yisra’el (shebet Yisra’el), whom I instructed (‘asher tsawah) to shepherd (la ra’ah) My people (‘eth ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (Yisra’el), to say (la ‘amar), ‘So why not (la mah lo’) build for Me a house of cedar (banah la ‘any beyth ‘erez)? (Shamuw’el 2 7:7)
Now, therefore (wa ‘atah), this is what you should say (koh ‘amar) to My associate, Dowd (la ‘ebed ‘any la Dowd), as a result (koh) Yahowah of the spiritual implements (Yahowah tsaba’) says (‘amar), “I took you (‘any laqach ‘atah) from the sheepfolds (min ha neweh), from chasing after lambs (min ‘achar ha tso’n), to be the conspicuous and informative leader (la hayah nagyd) among My People (‘al ‘am ‘any), over Yisra’el (‘al Yisra’el). (Shamuw’el 2 7:8)
I have been with you (wa hayah ‘im ‘atah) throughout it all (ba kol) revealing the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) as you journeyed through life (halak). I have cut off (wa karat), accordingly, all of your enemies (‘eth kol ‘oyeb ‘atah) from your presence (min paneh ‘atah).
And I have engaged on your behalf to make for you (wa ‘asah la ‘atah) an exceptionally important name, the greatest designation, and the most distinguished reputation (shem ha gadowl), when compared to the most glorified designations (ka shem ha gadowl) pursuant to the relationship (‘asher) on the Earth (ba ha ‘erets). (Shamuw’el 2 7:9)
Furthermore (wa), I will appoint and establish (sym) a dwelling place (maqowm) for My People (la ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (la Yisra’el). I will plant them (wa nata’ huw’) such that they may abide (wa shakan) below throughout a less chaotic time than this (tachath huw’) and no longer be agitated, anguished, or terrorized (ragaz ‘owd). They will not continue to be (wa lo’ 586yasaph) afflicted or degraded, disparaged or denigrated (‘anah), by unjust and harmful sons, perverted and violent descendants of evil (beny ‘awlah), as will have formerly been the case (ka ‘asher ba ha ri’shown). (Shamuw’el 2 7:10)
From the day (wa la min ha yowm) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), I appointed and instructed (tsawah) Judges (shaphat) on behalf of My people (‘al ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (Yisra’el), I will provide a respite (wa nuwach la ‘atah) from all of your enemies (min kol ‘oyeb ‘atah).
In addition (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) is boldly and publicly announcing to you (nagad la ‘atah) that, indeed (ky), He will act, engaging with you to create the family and home of Yahowah (beyth ‘asah la ‘atah Yahowah).’” (Shamuw’el 2 7:11)
God was promising to announce and then implement a plan whereby He would engage with Dowd to establish the Family of Yahowah. He was, therefore, addressing Dowd’s role in fulfilling Chag Matsah which made this possible.
“‘Surely (ky), your time will be thoroughly proclaimed and completely fulfilled (male’ yowmym ‘atah). Then after your relaxing rest (wa shakab) with your fathers (‘eth ‘ab ‘atah), I will rise up and take a stand to bring to fruition (quwm) with what you have sown (‘eth zera’ ‘atah), something more in the end without hesitation for you (‘achar ‘atah). For the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), it will be extracted and withdrawn (yatsa’) out of a small particle of your physiological nature (min me’eh).’”
Yahowah speaking of taking a stand with Dowd’s physiological nature, which would have been required to fulfill Passover as the Pesach ‘Ayil. And at this point God stops talking to Dowd directly and begins speaking to us about him…
587“‘Therefore (wa) I will establish (kuwn) his reign over his kingdom (‘eth mamlakah huw’). (Shamuw’el 2 7:12) He, himself, shall restore and rebuild (huw’ banah) the family home (beyth) for (la) My name (shem ‘any). And (wa) I will prepare and establish (kuwn) the throne (‘eth kise’) of his kingdom (mamlakah huw’) forevermore as a continuing witness (‘ad ‘owlam). (Shamuw’el 2 7:13)
I was, I am, and I always will be (‘any hayah) for him (la huw’) as a Father (la ‘ab) and (wa) he was, is, and always will be (huw’ hayah) for Me as (la ‘any) a son (la ben).
So when that which is associated with him is warped and perverted, twisted such that it is contrary to what has been stated (‘asher ba ‘awah huw’), I will resolve the dispute against him, vindicating him, deciding with him to expose and issue a condemnation (wa yakah huw’) against the weapons and staves wielded by rulers of the nations (ba shebet) of men (‘ishym) and against (wa ba) the fungus and plague that has fallen (nega’) upon the descendants (ben) of ‘Adam (‘adam).” (Shamuw’el 2 7:14)
And therein is a perfect explanation of the religious crusade to transfer the promises made to the Messiah to create a Christ. God was not a fan…
“Therefore (wa), My steadfast devotion, enduring love, commitment to the relationship, and unmitigated favor (chesed ‘any) will not be removed from him, be disassociated or diminished regarding him, nor replaced, substituting another for him (lo’ suwr min huw’) as was the case when (ka ‘asher) I turned away from and completely rejected (suwr min) associating with (‘im) Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl) whom, to show the proper way (‘asher), I removed (suwr) from your presence (min la paneh ‘atah).’” (Shamuw’el 2 7:15)
588In the debate between Dowd as the Son of God and Sha’uwl as the Devil’s Advocate, Yahowah has taken sides, and that’s good for Jews and unfortunate for Twistians. And now, having concluded speaking to us about His Son, Yahowah concluded the prophecy addressing Dowd directly…
“‘And so (wa), your family (beyth ‘atah) and (wa) your position of authority, your kingdom and reign (malakah ‘atah), are assured, as it is trustworthy and dependable, firmly established, credible, and enduring (‘aman) forever as a continuing witness (‘ad ‘owlam) in My presence (la paneh ‘atah). Your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) will be (hayah) established and sustained (kuwn) forevermore as restoring testimony (‘ad ‘owlam).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:16)
Consistent with all of these words (ka kol ha dabarym ha ‘eleh) and in accord with (wa ka) the entire revelation (kol ha chizyown ha zeh), in this manner, Nathan accurately conveyed this (ken dabar Nathan) to Dowd (‘el Dowd).” (Shamuw’el / Listen to Him / 2 Samuel 7:17)
It is hard to imagine how anyone could remain confused, wondering whether Yahowah is addressing Dowd, His Beloved Son, our Messiah and King, the Shepherd and the Lamb, or a misnomer who was never addressed prophetically. If this were a contest between man and myth, it concludes with a score of 1,000 to 0.
And yet, there are a million more Christians than Covenant Members honoring Dowd’s contribution to our lives. How is that possible in a supposedly rational world?
Let’s continue to reinforce what should have been obvious and yet has been misappropriated and misrepresented in Dany’el 9 to create a god named “Christ” and a religion called “Christianity.” We can correct these errors and reinforce the truth by turning to the 2nd Mizmowr 589which was written by the very prophet who has been speaking to us. He asks…
“For what reason, one should ask (la mah), do noisy and confused throngs of scheming and rebellious Gentiles gather together to conspire in open defiance (ragash gowym)?
The people of such places who are transformed while massing under an antiquated and unifying religious, political, and / or conspiratorial leader (wa la’om) choose to plot and speak (hagah) in vain, deluded in their fantasies (ryq). (Mizmowr 2:1)
The rulers (melek) of the Earth (‘erets), solely on their own initiative, continually set themselves up (yatsab). Those who govern (rozen) conspire and rebel (yasad) altogether (yachad) against (‘al) Yahowah (Yahowah) and (wa) against (‘al) His Mashyach | Anointed (mashyach huw’).” (Mizmowr 2:2)
Yahowah perceives Christianity as an attack on His Son, the Mashyach, Dowd, because these titles were removed from him to create the illusion of Jesus.
“Let us choose of our own volition to break away and pull off (nathaq) their bonds which trap and ensnare (‘eth mowserah hem). We should want to reject and throw away (wa shalak) from us (min ‘anachnuw) their twisted and interwoven threads which bind and immobilize (‘aboth hem). (Mizmowr 2:3)
He who inhabits, establishing His dwelling place (yashab) in the heavens (ba ha shamaym) holds them in contempt and will pulverize them (sachaq). Yahowah (Yahowah) ridicules their foreign behavior and mocks their unfamiliar and irrational statements (la’ag la hem). (Mizmowr 2:4)
At this time and place (‘az), He will communicate, expressing Himself (dabar) toward them (‘el hem) 590showing His frustration and resentment (ba ‘aph huw’) and in His burning indignation (ba charown huw’), will overwhelm and bewilder them (bahal hem). (Mizmowr 2:5)
I, myself, have offered leadership (wa ‘any nasak) providing counsel through my governance (melek ‘any) upon (‘al) Tsyown | the Signs Posted Along the Way (Tsyown), my Set-Apart Mountain (har qodesh ‘any). (Mizmowr 2:6)
I will choose to account for, proclaiming in writing (saphar) the decree, serving as a clearly communicated prescription for living (choq) of the Almighty (‘el) which Yahowah (Yahowah) conveyed (‘amar) to me (‘el ‘any), ‘You are My son (ben ‘any ‘atah). This day (ha yowm) I (‘any) bring you forth as your Father (yalad ‘atah).” (Mizmowr 2:7)
So why are billions confused, denying Dowd and accrediting Jesus with a title Yahowah clearly delineated long ago?
“Feel free to ask questions about this, seeking to learn the answers because literally out of Me and from Me (sha’al min ‘any) there will be an inherited share of the land of the gentile nations that will be given to you and to successive generations (gowym nachalah ‘atah), even unto (wa) the distant reaches of the Earth and the material realm (‘ephes ‘erets) becoming your property (‘achuzah ‘atah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 2:8)
Demonstrating that Dowd’s life serves as a metaphor for Yisra’el, consistent with its depiction in Shamuw’el’s prophecy regarding him, Yahowah refers to Dowd | David as His Bakowr | Firstborn in Mizmowr / Psalm 89. It affirms many things, all of which are germane to properly interpreting Dany’el 9…
591“I have established (karat) the Beryth | Covenant, the Home for the Family (Beryth) with My Chosen One, the man I personally selected (la bachyr ‘any). I have sworn this oath (shaba’) to Dowd (la Dowd), My authorized agent who works on My behalf (‘ebed ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:3)
I will establish (kuwn) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah) as an eternal and restoring witness (‘ad ‘owlam). In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr). Pause now and contemplate the implications (selah).” (Mizmowr 89:4)
This not only affirms our rendering of Dany’el 9, it is consistent with the 2nd Mizmowr and 2 Shamuw’el 7. Now speaking to Yahowah on Dowd’s behalf, the Psalmist prescribes a title far more important than Mashyach…
“Beside You and on Your behalf (la ‘atah) the Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’ – the Productive Ram who shepherds the flock, who prevails because he is effective and strong, fully resolved with the overall ability to accomplish the mission, the remarkably important and impactful individual of action who, as a leader and fighter, is engaged as a shepherd among his sheep, especially when sowing the seeds of truth while advancing the purpose of the arm of God) with tremendous power and awesome ability (‘im gabuwrah – with the will to fight and the capacity to perform, who accomplishes what needs to be done; from gibowr – a mighty warrior, valiant soldier, and capable defender, a hero worth noting) will be Your strong hand (‘azaz yad ‘atah) raised up high (ruwm) at Your right side (yamyn ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:13)
Delighted to show the way and blessed (‘ashry) are the family members (ha ‘am) who are aware of and 592acknowledge Yada (yada’) and Taruw’ah (Taruw’ah – Trumpets, the 5th Miqra’ey, serving as the time to expose corruptions while sharing the truth, the day Yada’ was called by Yahowah to awaken His people in 2001), who walk (halak) with the light into Your presence (ba ‘owr paneh ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah). (Mizmowr 89:15) In Your name (ba shem ‘atah) they rejoice (gyl) every day (kol ha yowm). And (wa) in Your justice and vindication, by being right (ba tsadaqah ‘atah), they are lifted on high (ruwm). (Mizmowr 89:16)
Indeed (ky), Your power (‘oz ‘atah) is their adornment (tiph’erth hem) and (wa) our status and radiance (qaran ‘anachnuw) which is lifted up (ruwm) by Your desire to be accepting (ba ratsown ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:17) For (ky) our deliverance and protection (magen ‘anachnuw) are from (la) Yahowah (Yahowah). Accordingly (wa la), the Set-Apart One (qadowsh) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el) is our King (melek ‘anachnuw).” (Mizmowr / Psalm 89:18)
Let there be no doubt as to the identity of the Set-Apart One of Yisra’el. He is Yahowah’s choice to be our Shepherd, Messiah, and King, His Son, Dowd.
“At the time (‘az) You spoke (dabar) in a revelation (ba chazown) to those whose love for You and commitment to You is unwavering (la chasyd ‘atah), saying (‘amar), ‘I have provided (shawah) assistance, supplying what is needed (‘ezer) on behalf of (‘al) the one with the strength to prevail (gibowr – the mightiest of men, the strong and effective fighter, the valiant and brave warrior, the one who battles; from gabar – to prevail, to be powerful, mighty, and strong, to prove one’s valor and to champion a virtuous cause). I have raised up and exalted (ruwm) the Chosen One (bachar) from (min) the people (‘am).’” (Mizmowr 89:19)
593It is from this statement that I readily deduced that Gabry’el was Dowd. Gibowr, gabar, and geber stand out as an exemplary family of words directing us to the subject of this Mizmowr – to Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent and Capable Individual. Moreover, Yahowah said as much…
“I discovered and then made known (matsa’) Dowd (Dowd), My coworker (‘ebed ‘any). Out of (min) My set-apart oil which uniquely distinguishes (shemen qodesh ‘any), I have anointed him as the Mashyach / Messiah (mashach), (Mizmowr 89:20) to show the way to the relationship and that (‘asher) My hand (yad ‘any) will be steadfast and unwavering (kuwn) with you (‘im ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:21)
In addition (‘aph), My Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd (zarowa’ ‘any) will empower and embolden you, strengthening you, helping you grow, expanding your horizons, and elevating your status (‘amets ‘atah).” (Mizmowr 89:21)
By referencing this Mizmowr, Dany’el 9 is easily understood. And there is more to it than just the realization that our hero is Dowd because God also addresses the role of the villain. And this is especially true with regard to the point Yahowah was making about Christians replacing the Messiah Dowd with their Christ.
“The Adversary (‘oyeb) will not nullify him (showa’ – will not negate his value nor annul his position or purpose) and (wa) the Son of Evil (ben ‘awlah) shall not deny him nor denigrate him (lo’ ‘anah huw’ – shall not silence him nor stop him, will not obfuscate his answers nor nullify his responsive declarations). (Mizmowr 89:22)
And so (wa), I will rebuke and incarcerate (kathath) his foes, especially those who seek to constrain and restrict him (tsary huw’). Then (wa) because of his presence and appearance (min paneh huw’), I will 594plague (nagaph) those who shun him by attempting to decrease his status (sane’ huw’). (Mizmowr 89:23)
Therefore (wa), My steadfast commitment is resolute and unwavering (‘emuwnah ‘any; from ‘emuwn), so My love and devotion, My enduring favoritism and unfailing affection (wa chesed ‘any) will remain with him (‘im huw’). In My name (wa ba shem ‘any) his light will radiate and enlighten (qaran huw’). (Mizmowr 89:24) He shall call out to Me and welcome Me, announcing (huw’ qara’ ‘any), ‘You are my Father (‘ab ‘any ‘atah)!’ (Mizmowr 89:26)
I (‘any), likewise (‘aph), will appoint him (nathan huw’) My Firstborn Son (bakowr ‘any), the highest of all (‘elyown) of the kings and rulers (la melek) of the Earth (‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:27)
For all eternity (la ‘owlam) I will keep watch over him, paying very close attention to him (shamar la huw’). My unwavering love, unrelenting devotion, enduring affection, and generosity (chesed ‘any) as a part of My Family-Oriented Covenant (wa beryth ‘any) are truthfully presented and will reliably endure with him (‘aman la huw’).” (Mizmowr 89:28)
There is only one Covenant, and it is reliably presented through Dowd – not Sha’uwl | Paul or the other Towrahless One who will come.
“And I will establish (wa sym) his seed, that which he sows, and his offspring (zera’ huw’), as an eternal witness forever (la ‘ed | ‘ad). And (wa) his throne (kise’ huw’) will be equated to the time of heaven (ka yowm shamaym). (Mizmowr 89:29)
However, if (‘im) his descendants and offspring (beny huw’) continue to forsake, ignore, or reject (‘azab) My Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah ‘any) and (wa) make a habit of failing to walk (wa lo’ halak) 595according to My means to exercise good judgment and justly resolve disputes (ba mishpat ‘any), (Mizmowr 89:30) if (‘im) they perpetually view My clearly communicated prescriptions for living with contempt (chuqah ‘any chalal), and further (wa), if they consistently fail to observe the instructive terms of the relationship considering what is being offered and expected in return (mitswah ‘any lo’ shamar), (Mizmowr 89:31) then (wa) I will hold them accountable (paqad) for the full measure (ba shebet) of their rebellion (pesha’ hem). The consequence of their deviation from the way and of their corruptions (‘awon hem) will be a pestilence which causes widespread death (ba nega’). (Mizmowr 89:32)
Accordingly (wa), My unwavering love and devotion (chesed ‘any) I will never remove from him (lo’ parar min ‘im huw’) because I will never communicate something which is not true nor will I ever contradict (wa lo’ shaqar ba) My steadfast commitment (‘emuwnah ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:33)
I will never dishonor or make commonplace (lo’ chalal) My Covenant (beryth ‘any) nor will I ever alter, change, or rearrange (wa lo’ shanah) that which has gone forth from (mowtsa’) My lips (saphah ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:34)
There is only one (‘echad) to whom I have affirmed the truth by having made a promise (shaba’) by My Set-Apart nature (ba qodesh ‘any). If not to (‘im la) Dowd (Dowd), I will be proven a liar (kazab).” (Mizmowr 89:35)
And therein dies any chance that Jesus is the Messiah or the Son of God. The preceding rendering of Dany’el 9 stands affirmed.
“His offspring and that which he sows (zera’ huw’) shall exist and endure (hayah) forever (la ‘owlam). And 596(wa) his place of honor, his throne, seat of authority, and sovereign leadership (kise’ huw’), shall be as (ka) brilliant and powerful as the sun (ha shemesh) before Me (neged ‘any).” (Mizmowr 89:36)
Unfortunately, very few have done what we are doing, and that is to closely examine the evidence Yahowah has provided and then go where His words lead. Had rabbis done so 2,000 years ago, Christianity would not have emerged in their midst to plague God’s people. Once one accepts that Dowd is the Messiah and Son of God, there is no room for an anti-Semitic religion based upon Jesus Christ and Replacement Theology.
“But now (wa), you have refused to accept (zanach) and (wa) you have rejected by diminishing the merit of, even over time becoming averse to (ma’as) your Messiah (Mashyach ‘atah), improperly, and on your own initiative, meddling while presumptuously passing over (‘abar) any association with him (‘im huw’)! (Mizmowr 89:38) You have repudiated and renounced (na’ar) the Covenant (beryth) with your coworker (‘ebed ‘atah), dishonoring and defiling (chalal) his dedication and preparation, even his consecration and crown (nezer huw’). (Mizmowr 89:39)
What’s worse (‘aph), you have deliberately turned away from (shuwb) what he has chiseled in stone (tsuwr chereb huw’) such that (wa) you do not stand with him or support him (quwm huw’) in this conflict (ba ha milchamah). (Mizmowr 89:43) His brilliance (tahar huw’) and his position (wa kise’ huw’) you have truncated (shabath) because (min) you have hurled it to the ground (la magar ha ‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:44)
You have cut short, curtailing the ability to accomplish the mission (qatsar) during the days (yowmym) of his youth (‘aluwmym huw’). You have shamefully covered him over, dishonoring him (‘atah 597‘al huw’ buwshah). Take a moment and consider the implications (selah). (Mizmowr 89:45)
For how long (‘ad mah), Yahowah (Yahowah), will You remain hidden and unknown to so many (sathar)? Will Your displeasure and antagonism (chemah ‘atah) burn like a fire (ba’ar kamow ‘esh) forever (la netsach)? (Mizmowr 89:46)
What man (my geber) can live (chayah) and (wa) never see (lo’ ra’ah) death as a result of the plague (maweth), saving his soul (malat nepesh huw’) from the hand (min yad) of Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl – Question Him, the Benjamite wolf in sheep’s clothing who as a result of being demon-possessed changed his name to reflect his affinity with Rome, becoming Paul, the principal author of the Christian New Testament, the Father of Lies and the Son of Evil)? Pause now and consider what this implies (selah). (Mizmowr / Psalm 89:48)
Where (‘ayeh) is Your unwavering love and enduring mercy (chesed ‘atah) which was expressed first and foremost in the beginning (ri’shown) which You promised (shaba’) to Dowd, the Beloved (la Dowd), in harmony with Your steadfast commitment to being trustworthy and reliable (‘emuwnah ‘atah)? (Mizmowr 89:49)
Choose to remember, and elect to be mindful of (zakar), the contemptible and condescending taunts and the dishonorable and deplorable decrees which were determined (cherpah) by all of the many nations and the preponderance of the people (kol rabym ‘am) against those who work with You (‘ebed ‘atah) which I have now brought to bear (nasa’ ‘any) in my best judgment (ba heq). (Mizmowr 89:50)
That is because (‘asher) those in open opposition to You (‘oyeb ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah), are insulting with their bewildering derision and improperly 598discerned contempt (charaph) which is why (‘asher) they are confusing, responding improperly by ridiculing and defying (charaph), the beneficial and trustworthy footsteps (‘aqeb / ‘eqeb) of Your Messiah (mashyach ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:51)
Blessed and benefited by kneeling down in love to uplift is (barak) Yahowah (Yahowah) forever (la ‘owlam). This is trustworthy, verifiable, and reliable (‘aman wa ‘aman).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 89:52)
This is game over for Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The truth has been presented as bluntly and boldly as words allow. It is well past time that Yisra’el and Yahuwdah discard the myths of old, tear off the controlling shackles of their religion, and that of the gentiles, and come to embrace the truth regarding Dowd. God’s Son and our Savior has one name and many titles: Ben ‘Elohym, Ha Mashyach, Bakowr, Ra’ah, Bachyr and Bachar, Tsemach, ‘Ebed ‘Any, Zarowa’, Qadowsh, ‘Elyown Melek, Gibowr and Gabry’el, et al.
