Ra’ah Gadowl | Great Reveal

 

Feast of the Beast…

With the skeleton army at the ready, albeit without minds, hearts, souls, or swords, the spiritual tsaba’ | host of ha Satan | the Adversary needs an enemy to fight. And what better rival for a mythical force than an imaginary foe? So, what before our wondering eyes should appear, but the reincarnation of Noach’s grandchildren as the force majeure of the battle royale – an imaginary superpower modeled after someone who fancies himself worthy to oppose what he had been. This is the final reveal, the adversarial Day of Days.

It all leads to the Feast of the Beast – the gruesome and grotesque climax to Ezekiel’s mercurial tale. We will soon discover where the skeleton army acquired its flesh and blood.

And yet, just as the Valley of Dry Bones was a macabre charade to garner an audience, there is no Gog, and the Magog War is a ruse. Those seeking an earthly foe will be disappointed.

However, there is a battle underfoot, and it is being waged for the very thing the skeletons lacked – souls. And while the central player in the closing episode of Ezekiel’s story is real, he is not who he wants to be, nor is he the one so many have been led to believe.

With all of the speculations and opinionated theories over the identity of Gog, Magog, Meshek, and Tubal, I’ll bet that you did not see this one coming…

320And it is (wa hayah) a word (dabar) of This Is Not Him (#^^#!) to me (‘el ‘any) to say (la ‘amar), (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:1) child of mortal man (ben ‘adam), it is imperative that you set your face (sym paneh ‘atah) toward (‘el) Gog (Gowg – related to Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of a Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Yisra’el for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home) of the land (‘erets) of the Magog (ha Magowg – a compound of mah – to question and Gowg), the elevated prince and ruler (nasy’), the first and foremost leader in the beginning (ro’sh) of Meshech | the most highly valued who was dragged away and is now prolonged by taking the lead (Meshek) to Tubal | pervert and confuse the world (wa Tubal).

You are compelled to act like a prophet (wa naba’) regarding him (‘al huw’). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:2)

That is not what I expected. We have become conditioned to seeing ha Satan taunt the readers of Ezekiel with his self-portrait, but this is beyond the pale.

The time of lurking in the shadows is over. This is the Great Reveal. And it will lead to the Feast of the Beast.

While we are still ten chapters from the conclusion of Ezekiel, all that remains is pedantic, revisionist propaganda. The Towrah will be amended to facilitate a new temple for the new god, and a new arrangement of feasts will be ordained for this very different spirit.

Gowg, as the seed of Reuben, is the disgraced and disenfranchised legacy of the firstborn of Ya’aqob. Ra’uwben, from ra’ah and ra’awah | to envision and behold the ben | child, was Leah’s way of gloating to her sister, to her husband, and even to her conniving father that she was more accomplished and worthy than she was perceived. Unfortunately, continuing to compete with her sister for her husband’s attention, Leah, who was hated 321before she was loved, neglected her son to the extent Reuben became envious of Jacob. So as the firstborn of Yisra’el grew older, he squandered his birthright by violating the sanctity of the family union with Bilhah – his grandfather’s, stepmother’s, and now father’s handmaid and concubine. His indiscretion was a perverted and twisted way of rebelling that would cost Ra’uwben | Behold the Vision of the Son and his descendants, alienating and ostracizing them, ultimately depriving them of what should have been theirs to enjoy.

Reuben’s manipulative and malevolent attitude toward his family would remain a festering wound which now serves as an analog for how the Serpent behaved in the Garden when abusing his relationship with Chawah. Indeed, ‘Adam’s woman represents the girl the Lord ogled and sexually abused previously in Ezekiel. She was not a random adjunct to this twisted tale.

Satan’s affinity for Ra’uwben | Behold the Son’s Vision is why the Lord of Babel ravished and discarded his captive woman in Ezekiel 16 and again in the 23^rd chapter of this tortured tome. Gowg presents the Lowytan as he sees himself, as the one in the beginning who was the most deserving and highly valued, having been cast off and disenfranchised for his indiscretion of inappropriately violating the sanctity of the family – charming Chawah out of her life in the Garden. The Serpent had entered her home to mislead and defile her.

Now he is reminiscing because the Lord seeks to be what he was in ‘Eden. A long time ago in a Garden far away, this Cherub was so alluring he was able to charm the souls out of God’s beloved. And so now, he is resurrecting what Ra’uwben wrought to bring the entire family down.

Magowg, which is a compound of mah | to question and gowg | the spawn of Ra’uwben, reveals that we should ponder the reasons this obscure name was chosen. And as 322we consider the implications of Magowg, be mindful that the actionable root of She’owl | Hell means “to question.”

Confessing to the crime of the millennia, and now moving deeper into the reveal, the Adversary is acknowledging that he sees himself as greater than Dowd, whom he painted as a nasy’ | elevated prince and ruler. So, it is back to the future where the Lord is once again ro’sh | the first and foremost leader in the beginning.

And so now, we know why the Serpent ascribed this inappropriate nasy’ title to Dowd not once but on over twenty occasions. It was a setup all along. And it was clever until it became sadistic and the nasy’ was sacrificed to be eaten as part of the menu of the Feast of the Beast. But we are getting ahead of our story.

Continuing to gawk at Satan’s Great Reveal, we discover that Hylel ben Shachar sees himself as Meshech | having been dragged away from being highly valued. But it is a setback he seeks to overcome, because meshek | his life will be prolonged by taking the lead in a most dubious affair. In revenge for what was done to diminish him, the individual represented by Gowg will Tubal | pervert and confuse the world and all of those living on Earth. In so doing, the Lowytan expects to be valued above his tormentor – Almighty God.

Wow! Breathtaking. There is a climax to the long and twisted story the Serpent has been weaving.

Before translating and researching these names, I had expected to suggest that the Lord of Babel had returned to messing around with monikers. Every name is a repeat of those used previously in Satan’s story except for the intriguing selection of Gowg. Magowg, Meshek, and Tubal were among Noach’s grandsons through Japheth. But until now, I had no idea why these three names were plucked from among the seven sons of Japheth or why they were written this way.

323In reality, Gowg, Magowg, Meshek, and Tubal were people in our ancient past. They do not represent lands or principalities. However, it is intriguing that the Serpent would use them to slither out of the Ark along with Noach’s extended family. And while Ezekiel is Satan’s story, God set this up for us long ago. In these names, He provided clues we could use to understand the Serpent’s declaration three millennia before we stumbled upon it.

Apart from these conclusions, Gowg | Gog is otherwise an enigma. All we know of him is found in 1^st Chronicles 5. But within that story, we learn everything we need to know to unravel this riddle.

The chapter begins by affirming that Reuben’s sons were expressly excluded from being enrolled in the genealogy of birthrights. This was the result of Ra’uwben’s indiscretion in his father’s home. Within this text, we also discover that from Yahuwdah | Judah would come the leader of God’s people and that he would overshadow the others – helping us understand Dowd’s place in this explanation. Soon enough, Satan will explain how he intends to undo what Yahowah has promised. And it will make your skin crawl and stomach churn.

Ra’uwben’s name is an imperative, telling us that we must behold this vision. His offspring are listed as Chanowk | Hanoch (devoted and dedicated to rise, from whose name we get the Book of Enoch), Paluw’ | Pallu (distinguished, marvelous, and wonderful), Chetsrown | Hezron (sounding the trumpet within the courtyard), and Karmiy | Carmi (for my vineyard). It is yet another series of clues for our consideration. And while Chanowk and Paluw’ serve as adept and obvious metaphors for the Lord, so do Chetsrown and Karmiy. The trumpet blasted within the courtyard is to announce the impending Feast of the Beast. And the vineyard the Beast is claiming belongs to Dowd and was cultivated by God.

324With these descendants listed for the reasons we just deduced, we find that Yow’el | Joel (a truncated adaptation of Yahowah’s name  without His people  as God) is presented as the fifth son of Ra’uwben | the child whose vision we must behold. We are told that his son, Shama’yah | Shemaiah (Listen to Yah), fathered Gowg | Gog (of unknown derivation), who had a son named Shim’iy | Shimei (Listen to Me). And that’s it. There is nothing more said of this Gowg who is being used as the final alias preceding the Great Reveal. And yet, what was conveyed proved more than enough to solve this riddle.

Staying in 1^st Chronicles 5 a moment longer, after some additional genealogies, we discover that a great, great-grandson of Yow’el | Joel lived in Aroer toward Nebo of Baal-meon. And this is instructive because Nebow is Nebu, the god for whom Yahuwdah’s menace, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, was named. Nebow is also the place where Moseh, Yahowah’s great prophet and liberator, died.

And while Ba’al is the Lord of Babel, Ma’own is his home. Ma’own, a compound of mah | to ponder the implications of ‘ownah | cohabitation with conjugal rights in the questionable habitation which serves as the lair of jackals.

Should you be looking for them on a map, in Bamidbar / Numbers 32:38, we are told that these names, since they were of pagan gods, were changed by the Reubenites – or more accurately, they sabab | went all around them. Nonetheless, these places were located in the territories assigned to Reuben south of Galilee and east of the Dead Sea. Their descendants, we are told, migrated through the wilderness toward the Euphrates and into the land of Gilead to water their cattle. Gilead was south of the Galilee watershed, east of the Jezreel Valley, and tucked between the lands of Gad and Manasseh. Then, to help us make the needed connections, for no other apparent reason, we read 325that Yow’el | Joel | God without His Children was considered the ro’sh | first and foremost from the beginning.

Therefore, if Gowg | Gog was plucked out of obscurity for the reasons we have articulated, then he was a Yisra’elite, not a Gowym. He lived within the borders of yesterday’s and today’s Israel. And that makes Gog an exceedingly interesting choice of aliases in his portrayal of Satan before his fall.

Should you be curious, in the area of Gilead today near the southern shores of the great watershed, there is a lovely beach and park along the Sea of Galilee, a shopping mall, a few large manufacturing facilities, some commercial buildings, and lots of productive farmland. It is the furthest thing from menacing, especially now that the Golan is part of Israel.

Should Ezekiel have done as he was told by the Lord of Babel, he would have gazed in this direction, looking past the hills of the Golan Heights some 500 miles northwest of Babylon. And while that ostensibly brings us to the ‘erets Magowg | the Land of Magog – an idyllic location along the southern shores of Galilee, as such, it may be a harbinger of Jesus soliciting fishermen and walking upon the water in this place.

While the Lord of Babel will implicate Persia, Cush, Put, Gomer, and Beth-Togarmah in the Magog conspiracy, it is Revelation 20 which takes it to another place by saying:

“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, (Revelation 20:7) and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (Revelation 20:8)

326And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.” (Revelation 20:9 KJV)

Yikes! While this declaration from the Book of Revelation isn’t completely accurate, it is incriminating. Should Yahowchanan | John have written this, we are left to wonder if he came to the same conclusion – and was therefore directly associating Gog with Satan and Magog with She’owl. It is, after all, the only viable explanation as to why these two names – found in Ezekiel – would be associated with Satan in the 20^th chapter of Revelation.

The juxtaposition of nasy’ and ro’sh is fascinating and revealing. As we know, the Lord has used nasy’ on multiple occasions to describe Dowd | David. And since the title was inappropriate, we now know that it was to set up this comparison. Together, nasy’ ro’sh read as “the elevated ruler and prince who was the first and foremost leader in the beginning.” The only one who would claim to be superior to Dowd and say this of himself would be the author of this declaration – Satan. And that is why, I suspect, the Book of Revelation portrays Satan emerging from Gog and Magog to do battle in Jerusalem.

Based upon the genealogy of Gowg and the cause and consequence of Ra’uwben’s indiscretions, the most credible conclusion is that Gowg is ha Satan. And then based on its association and etymology, Magowg is She’owl.

Curiously, in this regard, the primary definition of Meshek is “that which was highly valued has been dragged away and is now in a prolonged quest to take the lead in disassociating and disenfranchising.” This leads to Tubal which means “to pervert and confuse the world.”

327So, there we have it – right from the Devil’s mouth. This is as good as confessions get. And, therefore, it bears repeating…

And he has said (wa ‘amar) here and now, thus said (koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!)…

Behold (hineh), I to you (‘any ‘el ‘atah), Gog (Gowg related to Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of a Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Ya’aqob for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home with a captive woman), the elevated prince and ruler who is lifted up (nasy’), the first and foremost leader from the beginning (ro’sh), who was highly valued before having been dragged away, and now is prolonged by taking the lead in disassociating and disenfranchising (Meshek) so as (wa) to pervert and confuse the world (Tubal). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:3)

I appreciate the clarification and the confession of “‘any ‘el ‘atah Gowg – I to you, Gog.” You are a clever one, Mr. Serpent.

Now that we know who we are dealing with, it’s time for the Serpent to dispense with the Adversary demarcation in order to be perceived as if he were God. But even this is a curious undertaking because it seems like a continuation of his confession. This is reminiscent of aggrandizing and glorifying the King of Tyre, the Cherub in the Garden, the Pharaoh of Egypt, and the soaring Cedar of Eden before cutting them all down…

So, I will change to return and be restored (wa shuwb – I will come back by doing it again, misleading believers so that they turn away) for you (‘atah).

Then I will offer to give and provide (wa nathan) a thorn, perhaps a ring or hook, even a fetter (chach) into your jaw (ba lachy ‘atah – in your cheek, jowl, or mouth).

328And I will bring that which is associated with you out (wa yatsa’ ‘eth ‘atah – I will withdraw you akin to an exodus).

So with all of your strength, wealth, and ability, in addition to your troops (wa kol chayil ‘atah – with your vigor, capability, and army), flying stallions (suws) and charioteers (wa parash – as well as distinguished and vocal orators), fully clothed, beautiful and perfect (lebuwsh miklowl – completely dressed, gorgeous and splendorous without any impurity), every one of them (kol hem), an extensive religious congregation and great assembly (qahal rab – a large religious and political community with a leadership structure emphasizing customs and rituals for believers akin to rabbis holding a grand convocation), a cold thorny barb for the flock (tsinah – cool and shielded, a thorn for the sheep) with a questionable defense (wa magen – surrounded by questionable defenders), seizing (taphas – controlling the use of and capturing) swords (cherebowth – knives, daggers, and double-edged weapons of war) – all of them (kol hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:4)

Based upon what we heard Dowd reveal through Dany’el, ha Satan’s grand entrance into Jerusalem will be on the 1^st of ‘Abyb in year 5997 Yah, April 3^rd, 2030, at the beginning of the Hebrew new year, and a couple of weeks before the Passover arrival of the two Witnesses. His intent will be to mislead believers so that he is restored to glory, even recognized as Yahowah among Jews and Gentiles alike.

The thorn he is offering is a foreboding reference to the thorn in Paul’s side. It was deployed to prove that the principal author of the Christian New Testament was under Satan’s control – which is how it is being deployed in this context. Even if the reference should be to a ring or hook, the implication is that all others will be silenced so that the Lord can speak. Also, the mouths of those allowed to talk 329at this time will be controlled so that the Beast of Babel can use them to announce his arrival.

While Yahowah is the sponsor of two Yatsa’ | Exoduses, Satan wants his as well. In his case, the withdrawal will be from Yahowah so that he can replace God in His people’s lives.

The use of chayil is evocative in this situation because it is how the Lowytan described his Army of Bones. It speaks of strength and ability, even an abundance of riches, in addition to a large and capable fighting force. Therefore, the Lord is ascribing considerable influence, power, and grandeur to Gog, making this formidable foe the Adversary.

With suws, the Serpent could be waxing poetic about his remembrance of the sexual prowess of his stallions when he had them rape Jewish women. They could be addressing the military might he ascribed previously to kings of Egypt and Babylon. Or their ability to take flight with the charioteers could be a flashback to the opening chapter, with the Lord perched atop his wheeled vehicle and flying through the heavens above Babel. Parash could even refer to the distinguished orators the Adversary now has under his control.

What’s peculiar is their appearance. Since it would be odd to point out that they were fully clothed, it is apparent that the Lord is bragging again, telling us that those who were associated with the high and mighty Gowg were absolutely gorgeous and completely perfect. And that is how ha Satan pictures himself and, apparently also, his host. It is to suggest, to the extent we can believe him, that, just as Yahowah has a tsaba’ of mal’ak, Satan leads a cadre of spiritual beings who are at his beck and call. And they are splendidly beautiful, even perfect, in their own special way. There is nothing God can do that Satan cannot do better – at least from his perspective.

330There is also the possibility that Satan is trying to revisit the scene of his crime and compare it to Ra’uwben’s. While the targets of both individuals would have been naked at the time, and thus vulnerable, in the Serpent’s recasting of events, they are now beautifully attired. Evidently, he doesn’t want to be seen as a pervert.

So, this splendorous procession of pure and flawless individuals – every one of them – formed a qahal rab. This means that Satan intends to parade around Jerusalem with an extensive religious congregation. His great assembly, which will likely include rabbis, will be known for fixating on their customs and rituals as these believers hold a grand convocation. The Serpent certainly expects to have no difficulty finding allies among religious and political Jews. And he is convinced that he, unlike Yahowah, will draw a large crowd.

The Lord’s commentary continues by describing tsinah | a cold thorny barb for the flock. This is symbolic of a goad, a sharp pointed stick that was used to control domesticated animals. Sha’uwl | Paul spoke of it during his session with Satan on the road to Damascus.

Collectively, the shepherds of the sheeple will have their alibis. However, Satan will be unimpressed with the questionable defense they will muster to explain their allegiance to him. He is a capricious and fickle phenomenon.

Taphas can be read in a number of ways, but the preferred meaning suggests that those aligned with Satan will attempt to seize every sword such that they control their use. And based upon their influence in the current Israeli coalition, the rabbis may prevail.

Once we discover that Gowg | Gog, as a descendant of Ra’uwben | Behold the Son’s Vision, is associated with Gilead, we realize that he would have been a Yisra’elite living within Israel. Therefore, he is pictured as the enemy 331within. However, now, after being cast as part of a religious and political community, he is shown in league with Persia, Cush, and Put – a formidable foe in Iran along with two nebulous nobodies.

And while I’m going to render paras as “Persia,” doing so demonstrates that Ezekiel was written at a later date. Babylon would not become Persia until Cyrus the Great conquered one to create the other.

Persia (paras – a large carrion bird such as a vulture or eagle, to divide into two parts, or a food offering with a divided hoof), Cush (Kuwsh – Noach’s grandson, of foreign origin representing an unknown land, suggested as Southern Egypt, Ethiopia, Nubia, Sudan, Southern Arabia, Northern Africa, Upper Mesopotamia, or Eastern Turkey), and Put (wa Puwt – Noach’s grandson, of foreign origin, likely means bow, may be Libya or another African nation) with them (‘eth hem), all of them (kol hem) with a questionable defense (wa magen – surrounded by questionable defenders) and protective head covering (wa kowba’ – a helmet, headgear designed to resist blows). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:5)

Should Paras be descriptive of Persia, yesteryear’s Babylon, this may be a subtle way of reminding us that the Lord of Babel will arise out of the birthplace of institutionalized religion and its integration into the government. Babel is the Devil’s spawn. As the linguistic basis of Bible, to be Babel is to be Confused with the Lord.

With the other four names on his list, the Lord could just as easily have said, “I don’t know, because I am clueless, having run out of ideas, so I’m going to play around with the names of Noah’s grandkids.” Cush and Put are impossible to locate with any degree of certainty. And Gomer is a lost cause – literally.

Gomer (Gomer – grandson of Noach and Howsha’s temple prostitute, meaning: cease to exist and inadequate, 332an unknown land, although some speculate that it is a band of Cimmerians in Gamir along the Caspian steppe, although some suggest it is Crimea, a peninsula in the Black Sea), and all his soldiers, his army hordes and bands of wings (wa kol ‘agaph huw’ – ?, used only in Ezekiel, perhaps from nagaph – to stagger and stumble having been smitten and stricken), the House of Towgarmah (Beyth Towgarmah – son of Gomer, great-grandson of Noach, Home of Grief, possibly Armenia or Israel), distant borders (yarekah – the remote areas or depths below) of the treasured north (tsaphown), and with all of his hordes of soldiers and army bands (wa ‘eth kol ‘agaph huw’). Numerous and great peoples (‘amym rab) with you (‘eth ‘atah). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:6)

Should Gomer represent Gamir, the outpost of the Cimmerians in the Caspian steppe, it would be in today’s Georgia, near Tbilisi, between the Black and Caspian Seas. To the north is Russia, to the east is Azerbaijan, and to the south we find Armenia and Eastern Turkey. Tbilisi’s Eastern Orthodox population of 1.1 million is currently under the thumb of Vladimir Putin. And since this is a reference to forming an army, the Georgian Defense Force is a robust 37,000 soldiers strong.

Moving south to neighboring Armenia, and the House of Towgarmah, the tiny, land-locked nation, has suffered more than its share of grief. They have been oppressed and controlled by the Persians, Mongols, Ottomans, and Soviets. Now independent, the Armenian Armed Forces number 68,000 soldiers.

‘Agaph is another of Ezekiel’s made-up words. If its verbal root means to stagger and stumble as a result of being struck, this is not a formidable foe, even inclusive of Gomer | Inadequate and Beyth Towgarmah | the House of Grief. Apart from the neo-Babylonians represented by 333Persia, this is a rather pathetic list of coconspirators – no matter how numerous.

Further, while there are plenty of people in Persia, there are no vast hordes or militaries in Cush, Put, Gomer, or Towgarmah. And last I checked, Persia, which is the only identifiable adversary, is not north of Israel. And that’s a problem, because, without them, there is nobody left to fill the ranks of Gog’s army.

Moving on, one would normally assume that the Lowytan was addressing Yisra’elites with his next pronouncement – pleading with them to be prepared. But no, he has been and will continue to speak to the mythical Gowgites. So why is he asking any of this?

You must be prepared and ready, even decided and properly equipped, proven and especially loyal (kuwn wa kuwn), for yourselves (la ‘atah), you, and your entire congregation, your army and your massive religious community (‘atah wa kol qahal ‘atah), who are summoned and assembled for this political and religious purpose (qahal) for you (‘al ‘atah).

You exist for them (wa hayah la hem) as guards over a prison and as a place of confinement (la mishmar – in the custody of those who are in jail, questioning their imprisonment). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:7)

Among the incredulous things the Serpent has expressed, this is one of the most inexplicable. This entire charade is to create the impression that there is a massive army of bad guys scheming to strike Israel such that the Lord must intervene to save the day. So, why egg them on, why insist that they be ready, committed to the cause, properly equipped, and loyal to men portrayed as decidedly murderous and evil? Is the Lord so desperate for a victory that he must create artificial aliases, allies, and villains? In debate, this fallacy is known as a straw man.

334And since there is no rational explanation, it cannot be determined from the text if the Lord’s massive religious congregation, political community, and military are being summoned to serve as guards in a prison or if, they, themselves, are among the inmates being confined. Either way, mishmar is not appealing.

While the Lord of Babel wants everyone to believe that he is calling all of the shots, the following is nonsensical. Persia, which was Babylon and is now the Islamic theocracy of Iran, cannot be called to arms because they are already armed to the teeth. This is like saying the US Army needs some guns.

After many days (min yowym rab), you will be summoned, called to arms, and mustered, counted on and mobilized (paqad) during the last remaining years (ba ‘acharyth ha shanahym).

You will actually and continually come to and enter the land (bow’ ‘el ‘erets – you will genuinely arrive and consistently be included in connection with the territory, nation, and Earth) which is returned and restored (suwb – which is brought back) from the sword (min chereb), obtained, gathered, and assembled (qabats) from many great families and exalted peoples (min ‘amym rab) upon the mountains (‘al hary) of Israel (Yisra’el) which had existed as (‘asher hayah) a continual, uninterrupted, and unmitigated (tamyd) ruinous, depopulated, and destroyed pile of rubble (la chorbah – as a desolate wasteland, arid and dry).

And she from peoples (wa hy’ min ‘amym), she was compelled to force the exodus (yatsa’ – she was made to demand the withdrawal at this time (hofal perfect third-person feminine singular)) and have dwelt (wa yashab) unsuspecting and naïve (betach – confidently undefended), all of them (kol hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:8)

335It is again peculiar that Israel’s alleged protector is commanding the nation’s supposed foe, ordering them to attack. Equally incongruous with reality, during the last days Israel is not and has not been continually depopulated. The nation is not in a ruinous condition or languishing as a pile of rubble. The opposite is true. But then again, Satan has never been very good at prophecy.

With the hifil stem, the subject causes the object to participate in the action as an undersubject. Here, that would render yatsa’ as “she enabled the exodus, making the withdrawal possible for those acting like her.” However, with the hofal, yatsa’ would read: “she was compelled to force the exodus, imposing the withdrawal upon those being removed.” That is not indicative of how Jews have migrated to Israel since 1948. And of course, Israelis are the furthest from unsuspecting, defenseless, and naïve. The Lord did not do his homework and got all of this wrong.

With Israel surrounded by Islamic enemies, it’s a wonder Satan found it necessary to create an imaginary foe. But nonetheless, rooting them on, he says…

And you will actually ascend at that time (wa ‘alah – you will rise) like a ravaging and ruinous storm (ka ha showa’ah – consistent with this false and worthless speech).

You will be (hayah) consistently coming and actually arriving (bow’ – you will enter) like the cloud (ka ha ‘anan – similar to the appearance of something obscuring visibility) to cover and conceal (la kasah) the land (ha ‘erets), you and all of your army troops (‘atah wa kol ‘agaph ‘atah), and many great and esteemed peoples with you (wa ‘amym rab ‘eth ‘ath). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:9)

To cover the Land of Israel like a cloud would require many hundreds of millions of troops – well beyond the 336capacity of any or all of these haunts individually or combined. Therefore, even without the reference to greatly esteemed people, the Lord is exaggerating.

Here and now, thus said (koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!), and it has been (wa hayah) in that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), words, statements, and speeches (dabarym) will arise (‘alah) upon your heart (‘al lebab ‘atah) and you will have considered and determined (chashab) evil and wicked (ra’ – harmful and troubling misfortune in league with friends and associates, fostering malevolent) thoughts, designs, and plans (machashabah – musings, schemes, and goals). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:10)

This is invalid as well. The only people sufficiently committed to the annihilation of Jews to attack Israel in the last days are Muslims. And their designs against God’s people are hardly new. They arose 1,400 years ago with Muhammad as he was plagiarizing their Talmud to complete his Quran.

You say (wa ‘amar), I will rise up and ascend (‘alah) over the land (‘al ‘erets) of rural open country (parazowth).

I will come to pursue (bow’) the quiet and restful (ha shaqat – the peaceful and secure, silent) who dwell (yashab) unsuspecting and naïve to the point of being confidently undefended (la betach), all of them (kol hem) dwelling (yashab) without a wall (ba ‘ayin chomah), or bars (wa baryach), or either gates or doors (wa deleth) – none for them (‘ayin la hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:11)

Repeating a lie does not make it better. Israelis are neither naïve nor undefended. And they are surrounded by walls, gates, and doors, all designed to keep the Islamic terrorists at bay. This would not have appeared credible 2,500 years ago when most cities were walled, and today in the case of Israel, nothing could be further from the truth.

337Some 1,300 years ago, Muslims poured out of Arabia to plunder the known world. But today, they seldom kill for booty, that is unless you count slave girls which they are zealous to capture.

To seize and steal possessions as booty (la shalal shalal – to rob one’s prey) and to plunder the despised, looting and robbing out of disrespect (wa la bazaz bazaz), to turn your hand (la shuwb yad ‘atah) upon the inhabited ruins and destroyed dwelling places (charbah yashab), and to the people (wa ‘el ‘am) who are gathered and assembled together (‘asaph) from the gentiles and nations (min gowym) working livestock and acquiring possessions (‘asah miqnah wa qinyan) who dwell (yashab) at the center (‘al tabuwr) of the Earth (ha ‘erets). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:12)

Israel has never been uninhabited. The nation is no longer in ruins. And if it were, that would have been the least desirable place to loot. As for those dwelling at the center of the Earth, it makes as much sense as the rest of this.

Continuing to pilfer the names of those born into Noach’s family long ago as if they were relevant today, we read…

Sheba (Shaba’ – son of Cush, brother of Dedan, grandson of Noach, an unknown location perhaps in southern, northern, or western Arabia, Yemen, or Ethiopia), and Dedan (wa Dadan – grandson of Noach through Ham and Cush, thought to be northwestern Arabia), and the merchant traders (wa socher) of Tarshish (Tarshysh – grandson of Noach through Javan, somewhere in the Mediterranean), and all of her fierce adolescent lions (wa kol kaphyr hy’) will say to you (‘amar la ‘atah), have you come (ha bow) to seize and steal possessions as booty for yourself (la shalal shalal ‘atah – to rob your prey)?

338Have you summoned, gathered, and assembled (ha qahal) your political and religious community and army (qahal ‘atah) to plunder and loot out of disrespect and contempt (la bazaz baz) to carry away (la nasa’) silver and gold (keseph wa zahab), for grasping livestock (la laqach miqnah) and property (wa qinyn), to plunder and loot a defeated foe of much booty (la shalal shalal gadowl)? (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:13)

The Shebaians, Dedanians, and Tarshishians posing this riveting question are not part of the fighting force but, instead, just curious onlookers. So, since no one knows where Sheba might be, we are left to ponder why the Dedanians are preoccupied with plunder. Curious, I took the bait and searched through satellite imagery of northwestern Arabia. And I noticed that there is only one reasonably sized town in that part of the world – Tabuk – and it’s sterile and bleak. If you’d like to see what life would be like in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, take a gander at Tabuk. Methinks Satan is out of his mind in highlighting Dedan’s fascination with plunder. They don’t have so much as a paved street or even a tree to spruce up their desert abode.

As for the fierce adolescent lions posing ridiculous questions, the Lord may need to swear off the ergot for a while. This is little more than a word salad.

Therefore (la ken), you must act like a prophet (naba’), child of person (ben ‘adam), and have said (wa ‘amar) to Gog (Gowg – related to Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of the Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Yisra’el for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home), here and now, thus said (koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!), question not in that day (ha lo’ ba ha yowm ha huw’) with my people, Israel, dwelling and inhabiting (ba yashab ‘am ‘any Yisra’el) unsuspecting, confidently believing while undefended 339and naïve (la betach), will you know and be aware (yada’)? (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:14)

So you have come (wa bow’) from your place (min maqowm ‘atah – out of your home and office) out of the remote areas and extreme recesses of the great depths (yarekah – the boundary of space in a distant place) of the treasured north (tsaphown), you and a great many exalted peoples (‘atah wa ‘amym rab) with you (‘eth ‘atah), all of them (kol hem) riding horses (rakab suwsym), a great horde, an important religious congregation, and an extensive political community (qahal gadowl), along with a mighty army with tremendous capabilities which is exceedingly well-funded (wa chayil rab). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:15)

Now that we know that the Gowg of history was a Yisra’elite rather than a foreign foe, we can speculate that this is the reason the Lord is telling him not to question those living in Israel. This realization would make Magog more akin to a civil war than ‘Armageddon.’

Also, since he was there in Babylon which would become Persia, didn’t Ezekiel know that he was east of Israel, not north? And the rest of these places, even if they could be identified, could not muster anything close to this many troops. The only exceedingly well-funded army with tremendous capabilities north of Israel, is the United States military, and it has neither motive nor sufficient troops to fulfill Ezekiel’s vision. So, it’s back to prophet school.

And you will have arisen and ascended (wa ‘alah) over my people (‘al ‘am ‘any), Israel (Yisra’el), like the cloud (ka ha ‘anan) to cover the land (la kasah ha ‘erets) in the latter days (ba ‘acharyth ha yowmym), she will be (hayah). And I will have come to you (wa bow’ ‘atah) over my land (‘al ‘erets ‘any) so that (la ma’an) the gentiles (ha gowym) will know (yada’) me (‘eth ‘any) with my sacred holiness (ba qadash ‘any) in you (ba 340‘atah) for their eyes (la ‘ayn hem), Gog (Gowg – related to Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of a Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Ya’aqob for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:16)

Confused, the Lord seems to be saying that he will be joining the marauders. Even if his arrival is to be seen as a defense of Israel, why would the Lord be performing to impress gentiles? There is nothing impressive about the last sentence. This diet of linguistic idiocy served as inspiration for the working title of this chapter – Gog | Gobbledygook – before it was changed to Ra’ah Gadowl | Great Reveal upon further consideration.

And curiously, since war is a common thread throughout mankind’s history, how does the Lord expect to be seen as uncommon when he is prompting a great battle? Or are we supposed to read along and do as the Lord commands – don’t ask questions?

Although apparently these same rules don’t apply to the Lowytan…

Here and now, thus said (koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!), are you he (ha ‘atah huw’) of whom (‘asher) I spoke (dabar) in former eastern days (ba yowm qadmony) by the hand (ba yad) of my servants (‘ebed ‘any), prophets of Israel (naby’ Yisra’el) who prophesied (ha naba’) in those days (ba ha yowm ha hem) for years (shanah) to bring (la bow’) you over them (‘eth ‘atah ‘al hem)? (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:17)

No.

That was an easy one. There is no prophetic portrayal of Gowg. Outside of Ezekiel, the only reference is genealogical. He was a descendant of Ra’uwben – the bold vision of the malevolent offspring of Yisra’el.

341It is one thing to be wrong in every prediction. It is another to be errant in every reference to the past. If Ezekiel is a prophet, then I’m Peter Pan.

It will have been (wa hayah) in that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), in the day (ba yowm) Gog (Gowg – spawn of Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of this Child), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Yisra’el for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home) will come (bow’) upon the soil of Israel (‘al ‘adamah Yisra’el), prophetically declares (na’um) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!).

My venomous wrath and serpentine toxin (chemah ‘any) will rise up and be carried away (‘alah) in my anger (ba ‘aph ‘any). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:18)

I apologize. That is true in a way since Gowg represents Satan. He will arrive upon the soil of Yisra’el and get carried away, spewing his venomous wrath and serpentine toxin far and wide.

However, by associating Gog’s arrival with his own, and then expressing it as venomous wrath and toxic rage, we have an unintended confession. Satan apparently wants it both ways. He is both Gowg and the wannabe God who subdues him.

Before I was aware that the Book of Ezekiel was Satan’s autobiography, I had thought that the Magog war might have preceded ‘Armageddon.’ But that isn’t possible since the Lord of Babel has pronounced that he will be arriving at this time. However, this is not a celebration of Kipurym and there is no reunion. So, this is not possible unless Gowg is Satan’s alter ego, and this is the showdown predicted by Dowd in Daniel 9.

In my jealousy and envy (wa ba qinah ‘any – in my ill will over my desire for a perceived advantage), in my blazing rage and fiery fury (ba ‘esh ‘ebrah ‘any), I had 342spoken (dabar) if not in the day (‘im lo’ ba ha yowm ha huw’) there will be (hayah) a massive earthquake and lots of rumbling commotion (ra’ash gadowl) in the ground of Israel (ba ha ‘adamah Yisra’el). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:19)

There is nothing wrong with righteous indignation. But this is born of envy and is manifesting itself as rage. The Lord is so worked up and out of kilter, the earth is shaking around him.

There will be two types of people during Yahowah’s return – jubilant and dead. No one will be trembling. So, the notion that the fishes, a bird, a beast, and a creepy crawly will be shaken up upon the Lord’s return suggests someone is getting too big for his scales. While it’s time he shed his skin, this is Satan’s Great Reveal. And he wants everyone and everything to be duly impressed…

And they will have trembled and swayed, shaking (wa ra’ash) from my presence (min paneh ‘any), the fishes of the sea (dagy ha yam), and the bird of the sky (wa ‘owph ha shamaym), and the beast of the open environs (chayah ha sadeh), and the every creature that moves (wa kol ha remes) who creeps (ha ramas) on the dirt (‘al ha ‘adamah), and every one of the people (kol ha ‘adam) who are present on the face of the earth (‘asher ‘al paneh ha ‘adamah).

And the mountains (ha harym) will be laid waste and demolished, violently ousted (wa haras – they will have been thrown down and beaten), and the steep cliffs of the hillsides (wa ha madregah) will have fallen and been cast down (naphal). Then every wall (wa kol chowmah) to the earth (la ha ‘erets) will fall prostrate (naphal). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:20)

That’s an interesting picture. The mountains will be violently ousted, and the steep terrain will be cast down. Then the walls, we were told didn’t exist previously, will 343fall prostrate. And I suppose that all of this mineral carnage is the result of having summoned the Master’s sword.

So, I will have summoned and called out to invite (wa qara’) over him (‘al huw’) upon my every mountain (la kol har ‘any), a sword (chereb), prophetically declares (na’um) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!).

Sword of an individual (chereb ‘iysh) against his brother (ba ‘ach huw’) will be (hayah). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:21)

Since the Lord has alleged that his tempest is occurring within Israel, mountains crashing, cliffs being cast down, and walls tumbling sounds counterproductive. He’s got some work to do on this whole savior thing.

Frankly, even during his grand arrival, his Day of Days, the mighty Lowytan seems more devilish than angelic, more assassin than protector…

And I will be judgmental, executing justice (wa shaphat) with him (‘eth huw’) through a plague of words, a pandemic pestilence causing widespread death (ba deber), and with bloodshed (wa ba dam), engulfing overwhelming torrents (shataph) of rain (geshem), and stones of ice (wa ‘eben ‘elgabys), fire (‘esh) and brimstone (wa gaphryth), I will rain down (matar) on him (‘al huw’) and upon his troops, his wings, bands, and army hordes (wa ‘al ‘agaph huw’), and over the numerous and great people (wa ‘al ‘am rab) who are with him (‘asher ‘eth huw’). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:22)

Pandemic plagues, copious bloodshed, torrents of rain, stones of ice, fire from the heavens, and brimstone sure sounds like a show of biblical proportions. I hope the religious get a front-row seat.

I don’t want to quench his fires or steal his thunder, but this is the Great Reveal – Satan’s homecoming. And he 344is imagining his arrival with considerable fanfare as if produced on a Hollywood film set. One can only wonder who the Lord will choose to play himself in his theatrical debut as God? Can you even imagine the résumés of those who would audition for this role? I suppose that Pope Francis, now wheelchair-bound, wouldn’t be manly enough and The Donald, at 83, may be too much like the Dry Bones come May Day in 2030. Netanyahu is appropriately named for the part and his ego seems sufficient, but I think the Lord will do better.

Having built Gowg up as his alter ego, it was time to tear him down and rise above the carnage. Satan can only be God when the Adversary is no more. So now, this is the payoff line – the most incriminating of all pronouncements…

Then, without any assistance, I will have been exalted by boasting, honoring myself and alone becoming great (wa gadal – by myself, I will be glorified (hitpael perfect first-person singular)).

And I, by myself, will be holy (wa qadash – I, without any help from anyone, and all by myself, will be sacred and enshrined (hitpael perfect first-person singular)).

And so, I will have made myself known (wa yada’ – I will have done what was required to be recognized (nifal perfect first-person singular)) for the eyes (la ‘ayn) of many important and exalted gentiles (gowym rab).

Then they will have come to know (wa yada’) that I am (ky ‘any) This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 38:23)

It is exactly as I had discerned. This is the Great Reveal. It is the Day of Days for the Lord of Babylon. And fortunately for everyone not involved, he will fail.

I cannot recall seeing the hitpael stem in God’s voice, which is yet another indication that This Is Not Him. 345Yahowah seldom, if ever, works alone. And that is why He is bringing His favorite Son with Him when He returns. Further, whatever our Father chooses to do apart from our brother and king, He will accomplish by working with His other children. That is how the Yada Yahowah series of books were written.

Working alongside His people is germane to Yahowah’s nature. It is why we were created, why the universe exists, and why the Towrah was presented through Moseh.

By contrast, Yahowah’s return on the Day of Reconciliations will be the crescendo of this overriding theme of togetherness. God will be celebrating the ultimate family reunion. So, if there ever was a day that our Father will be accompanied by His children, this is that time.

But This Is Not Him, and so by using the hitpael stem on this occasion, Hylel ben Shachar has tossed a lightning bolt into the heart of Jerusalem. Only Satan would be sufficiently enthralled with himself to say, in the hitpael perfect first-person singular, “gadal – without any assistance, I will have been exalted by boasting, honoring myself in the moment, and alone I will have become great so that I can be glorified by myself.”

The Serpent would use it again in the next breath, bragging in the hitpael perfect first-person singular “qadash – I, by myself, on my own initiative and recognizance, will be holy at this time.” We have been forewarned. And while the Lowytan is no prophet, he has read the prophets, and he is determined to see this through.

We have exposed the crescendo of Satan’s menacing presence, documenting, in his own words, the Adversary’s arrival in Jerusalem on the 1^st of ‘Abyb in 2030. So now that we have reached the final destination, the outcome Ezekiel has been pointing toward since the opening chapter and the initial reveal in the skies above Babylon, it’s time 346we consider the text the Lord read to anticipate this occurring.

Yes, this should be expected because Yahowah chose to warn us 2,700 years ago. Through the most illuminating of prophets, Yasha’yah | Isaiah, God revealed that Satan would use the hitpael stem in exactly this way.

In context, my favorite prophet declared …

“By contrast, Yahowah will show compassion and love toward Ya’aqob. He will once again choose Yisra’el because He still strongly prefers to be with them. Furthermore, He will restore them and place them in their own land… (Yasha’yah 14:1)

At this time, you will lift up this particular Mashal | Proverb, this comparative word picture which is told to illustrate an ethical point, to provide guidance, which is presented as a similitude to teach, and thereby facilitate good decision-making, against the ruler who, in opposition to the rightful One, is influencing and controlling governments and religions.

As a result, you should disapprove of this authority figure who seeks submission and obedience because he is associated with Babel | Confusion, and with the corruption resulting from commingling and intermixing in the Lord’s Bible.

Then you will finally exclaim, ‘Oh how the onslaught of the systematic and boisterous promotion of mistaken beliefs has ceased, the enticement into destructive and deadly behavior and quarrelsome dissension is over.

In this way, and in the midst of these extraordinary circumstances, this exploitation and manipulation will have come to an end, as well as the abusive imposition of authority and the misuse of power, even the desire to 347control, all will have been abated by observing the Shabat.’ (Yasha’yah 14:4)

Yahowah has broken the underlying staff, spear, and club of religious, political, military, and economic oppression, and of the invalid, with the symbols of governmental authority that are used by nations and geopolitical powers to exert their dominion, shattering them. (Yasha’yah 14:5)

Then He will strike in righteous indignation with crippling consequences, affecting the people who sought to subdue and control, imposing their authority by trampling down the liberty of the gentiles, those who tried to dominate the nations as dictators or autocrats, lifting themselves up by beating the gowym down with a systematic deprivation of rights and freewill without restraint, sparing no one. (Yasha’yah 14:6)

She’owl, the place of abandonment and questioning, the abode of no return, the least desirable and most depressing alternative, is excited and anxious, trembling with anticipation to summon and meet you, announcing your arrival, welcoming you.

It has been alerted and is aroused to crush the unjust who give false testimony, including all of the departed souls who have been leaders and rulers, authority figures obtaining a high status, on the Earth.

This is because it improperly elevates their seats of authority and positions of power, all of the leaders and rulers, every one of the most persuasive and powerful individuals who influence society, and who demand submission and obedience among the gentile nations. (Yasha’yah 14:9)

All of them without exception will answer in the midst of their debasement and humiliation. They will say to you, asking you, ‘Have you also become weak, 348grieved and riddled with anxiety over the mental anguish, just like we are, becoming like the proverb?’ (Yasha’yah 14:10)

Your arrogance and unwarranted status, your desire to rise above and be and be glorified and exalted, even your lack of morality, grating behavior, and propensity to blow smoke, has brought you down, precipitating your descent to She’owl, the place of everlasting abandonment and incarceration.

At the boisterous and disquieting sound of the riotous multitudes, the confusing and disturbing growl of the uproarious discord of your disgraceful and foolish implements, like maggots will be spread out as a bed and as worms, they will devour your wildly inaccurate accusations. (Yasha’yah 14:11)

You have fallen and have been cast down from the spiritual abode of God, Hylel ben Shachar | Brightly Shining Son of Darkness, Boastful Child of the East, and Ostentatious Showoff Predisposed to Mislead.

You have been cast down and disassociated, cut off and silenced, then subjected to enormous pressure, because when sent down to the Earth, you were weakening, prostrating, and vanquishing the nations, such that they bow down in close association with the gentiles. (Yasha’yah 14:12)

Because you, yourself, boasted and declared, in your judgment, reflecting your ambitions and attitude, ‘I will be lifted up and be presented as superior so as to be worshiped among the stars in the sky and the abode of God. I will ascend and be exalted by rising above the luminous personification and brilliant progeny of God.

I will rise in triumph and in rebellion, magnifying my throne, authority, and honor, and my place to influence, all while continuing to conceal my true 349identity, hiding the information needed to understand who I am.

Then I will establish a dwelling, creating a place for people to approach on the Mount of the Appointed Meetings in association with the northern summit, lurking so as to hide my qualifications from discovery. (Yasha’yah 14:13)

I will ascend (‘alah) above the heights, beyond the elevated places of worship, the lofty shrines and cultic platforms of pagan religious devotion (‘al bamah) of the clouds of obscuring phenomenon which conceal heavenly objects from view (‘ab).

I will on my own initiative make myself appear as if I were (damah – I will, without any assistance, do whatever is necessary to be considered as, correspond to, and consistently represent the likeness of (hitpael imperfect – without any outside help or interference, on my own initiative and based solely on my ability and actions without any help resemble)) the Most High (la ‘elyown – the approach of the one true God, the supreme being, greater and higher than the Almighty, inspiring awe and devotion with the splendor and status of God).’ (Yasha’yah 14:14)

And yet surely, after the conclusion of a subsequent period of time, unto She’owl, the place of everlasting abandonment, you are being forced down and compelled, having no say in the matter (yarad – you will be tossed away but not of your own accord (hofal imperfect – the subject, Hylel ben Shachar, is being acted upon, he is devoid of freewill, and is compelled by force to descend just as the object, She’owl, is obligated to receive him forever)), and unto the remoteness, the distant border of space and time, to the far extremity of the lightless prison. (Yasha’yah 14:15)

350Those who are shown who you really are will stare, intently observing so as to become better informed about your intent and destination, seeking to make the connections needed to comprehend such things as these regarding the individual who caused the Earth to tremble just because he was perturbed, creating instability and turmoil by swaying and invoking fear, by creating discord and chaos, so as to destroy empires and governments, world leaders and those who claim the authority to rule, (Yasha’yah 14:16) the one who is responsible for making the world a more lifeless place without understanding the Word, pulling down and plucking away its anxious and anguished inhabitants.

His captives who are bound to him, those who are obligated by having sworn an oath, will never be free to go. They are incapable of being open-minded regarding this revelation, and so they will not respond to that which has been inscribed in writing. They will not be released from bondage and thus they will be prohibited from passing through the open door of the home to be part of the family of the Covenant.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:17)

The Lord of Babel did as foretold. Unable to proclaim a prophecy, he fulfilled one.

Hylel ben Shachar exposed his master plan to captivate all Yisra’el with the macabre charade of resurrected skeletons. And soon, we will discover from whom they would draw their flesh and blood.

Next, Satan tendered his confession by aggrandizing the Evil Son’s spawn to serve as his alter ego. And this all led to the Great Reveal on the Day of Days.

351So, we could only hope that Satan would have been ready to move on and pervert something different. But no. There is yet another chapter devoted to attacking Gog – Satan’s alter ego. Having recreated the flood with a deluge of rain, having reenacted the demise of Sodom with brimstone, and then having directed our attention back to Choreb with the fire, he seeks to pummel the man now cast as the Adversary into submission. The Serpent is intent on eliminating any connection to the title he despises.

But first, the Serpent has more to confess…

And you (wa ‘atah), son of Adam (ben ‘adam), it is imperative that you act like a prophet (naba’) over (‘al) Gog (Gowg – related to Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of a Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Yisra’el for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home), and have said (wa ‘amar), thus said (koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!), behold (hineh), I to you (‘any ‘el ‘atah), Gog (Gowg – spawn of Ra’uwben, the disinherited of Yisra’el), the elevated prince (nasy’), the first and foremost from the beginning (ro’sh), the most highly valued who was dragged away and is now prolonged by taking the lead (Meshek) to pervert and confuse the world (wa Tubal). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:1)

This is the second time the Lord of Babel has addressed Gowg using ‘any ‘el ‘atah | I to you. His connection with his foil is particularly telling because the unifying phrase is used nowhere else.

From a literary perspective, Gog is being transformed by the Devil from the seed of malevolence into the first and foremost prince, the most highly valued who was meshak | dragged away. This left the Serpent with a single option to survive, and that would be to lead a revolt that would tubal | pervert a confused world – ostensibly to ruin God’s plans.

352Gowg was an ingenious choice. As the offspring of Ra’uwben, he represents being disinherited and serves as a homewrecker and, thus, the counterpart to Dowd – the exemplar of the Covenant. Since Ra’uwben was the firstborn of Ya’aqob, he is comparable to Yahowah’s Bikuwr. And just as Ra’uwben was disinherited and distanced for having behaved inappropriately with his father’s woman, the Serpent is introduced corrupting Chawah – Yahowah’s creation, even doing so inside the protective enclosure God had made for her. Ha Satan plays this to the hilt by ogling over, raping, prostituting, and then killing the woman of his dreams here in Ezekiel – which reads like his autobiography.

Gowg is an obscure descendant of Ya’aqob, so he represents Yisra’el estranged from Yahowah – an insider who is counter to the Covenant and at odds with God. And since nothing else is known about him, the Lord can write whatever he pleases, painting him to fit his situation.

In this regard, Satan’s story is long, although not overly complicated. Having been created before the ‘Eden experience, and as spirit instead of matter, Lord Lowytan was infinitely superior to ‘Adam and Chawah in every way but two – he was not afforded a nepesh | soul or a neshamah | conscience. Without them, he was incapable of understanding Yahowah’s fascination with the first couple. He thought he was better, got jealous, and without morals, he corrupted Chawah to prove his point. Then as a consequence, Yahowah cut the adversarial spirit down to the size we are now witnessing.

Craving a return to his glory days, the Serpent would cultivate a garden of his own, a place where the weeds would prevail, and an environment where he could play God. We know it as Babel | Babylon. From the birthplace of institutionalized religion and its controlling integration into politics, the Lord would rise by babel | corrupting ‘Adam and Chawah’s descendants, intermixing 353Yahowah’s words with his own. We are reading the result. And by doing so, the Cherub of Old would rise above the Almighty in the minds and hearts of humankind, rewriting and perverting the script as he went along. In his scriptures, he would disassociate himself from Satan by attacking that title and then reestablish himself to his former superiority and glory by claiming to be Yahowah.

His first tentative strokes can be found in Job, where Satan plays a starring role – one which reflects the very sentiments we’ve discussed. Then, in Babylon, the Lord tried his hand at prophecy with Daniel, creating a fascinating blend of disorienting revelations, both true and false. The training wheels came off with Ezekiel, with the Lord presented over Babylon, big, bright, and beautiful right from the beginning. It would be his magnum opus.

And let it be known – I am not the first to reveal Satan’s intent with Gowg. Brazen as always, the Lord beat us to it and made his own announcement…

And I will have returned by restoring you, doing what was necessary to bring you back (wa shuwb ‘atah – I will have changed you to mislead, taking you in a new direction, such that you might endure the effect of my transformation at this time (poel perfect first-person singular)).

Then I will drag you along into position (wa shasha’ ‘atah – acting aggressively and being assertive, I will confuse by pushing and shoving you into place (piel perfect first-person singular)).

So, I will have resurrected and elevated you by having done what was needed to withdraw you (wa ‘alah ‘atah – I will have caused you to rise after removing you (hifil perfect)) from the remote depths below (yarekah) as the discovery of a hidden treasure (tsaphan).

354And I will have brought you (wa bow’ ‘atah – I will have returned you by carrying you (hifil perfect)) unto the mountains of Israel (‘al hary Yisra’el). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:2)

We have come to realize that Satan is audacious, and that he seems to thrive on taunting men and God, convinced that the former will never be the brighter for it and that the latter will not intervene to stop him. But this is daring even for him.

As clearly as he is capable of writing, Lord Lowytan revealed that he intended to return to glory through the resurrection and reincarnation of Gowg. He would take the scantily known personage in a new direction to mislead. Sure, the comparison is forced and, indeed, incredulous, but following the jostling skeletons, who is to say what’s believable in the twilight zone of his scripture?

If not a resurrection, what else are we to call raising Gowg out of his grave, giving him new life, and elevating his stature before, of course, killing him? And in this case, Satan is toying with his audience, suggesting that Gowg was retrieved from the depths of hell. And, of course, the resurrection would transpire on the mountains of Yisra’el. Audacious, but clever.

Whoever has been promoting the myth that the Devil’s children are left-handed needs to get with the program. These folks interacting with the Serpent are right-handed.

I will have stricken (wa nakah) your bow (qesheth ‘atah) from your left hand (min yad samo’l ‘atah) and your arrows (wa ches ‘atah) out of your right hand (min yad yamyn ‘atah) I will cause to drop (naphal). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:3)

Ha Satan seems to have an issue with his short-term memory. In the previous chapter, after having built Gowg up as Israel’s most formidable foe, greater than Assyria, 355Babylon, Greece, Rome, Roman Catholicism, Islam, and Fascist Europe, he destroyed him with an earthquake, sword, plague, flood, fire, and brimstone.

Also intriguing, after creating a skeleton army comprised of every Jew who ever lived, they are not deployed to stave off the ultimate villain. It is as if they were designed to be swallowed up by the Lord’s ensuing carnage – all of which was to have occurred within Israel – and with gentiles as witnesses.

So now, with Gowg dressed up as the Adversary of Adversaries all over again, it is déjà vu…

Upon the mountains of Israel (‘al hary Yisra’el), you will continually fall (naphal), you and all your troops (‘atah wa kol ‘agaph ‘atah) and the peoples who are with you (wa ‘amym ‘asher ‘eth ‘atah).

I will offer you as a gift (nathan ‘atah) for vultures (la ‘ayth), birds of every wing (tsiphowr kol kanaph), and the beast (wa chayah) of the open environs (ha sadeh) to be eaten (la ‘aklah). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:4)

Since there is only one of her, since she exists to devour humans, and since Satan is always excited to unleash her, is she the Beast of the Open Environs, another of the Devil’s alter egos? Clearly, the vultures and birds of every wing serve as fitting representations of the Lord’s nature. No matter the answer, be aware that the vultures were sent down to feed upon the rotting carcasses of Magog’s fallen. This will loom large in a moment.

Upon the face of the open environs (‘al paneh ha sadeh), you will consistently fall (naphal) because (ky) I, myself, have spoken (‘any dabar) states (na’um) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:5)

He does like to hear himself talk and he is self-centered. Of that, there is no doubt.

356Then I will have sent out and dispatched, shooting and hurling (wa shalach) fire (‘esh) through (ba) Magog (Magowg – to question Gowg) and through the inhabitants living (wa ba yashab) confidently and unsuspectingly, naively and undefended (la betach) on the islands and coastlands (ha ‘iyym).

They will notice and acknowledge (wa yada’) that, indeed (ky), I am (‘any) This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:6)

Therefore, what the vultures didn’t consume of Magog’s forces, the Lord’s fire would have incinerated. Or so the story goes until it is contradicted.

Recognizing that Magog is a call to Question Gog, and not a place, we must ask why the non-combatants living along the coasts minding their own business are to be torched too. And what is the means or point of having crispy critters notice that This Is Not Him?

Is Puff the Magic Dragon, who is now living by the sea, seeking to be known by his skeleton crew or by those he shook to their deaths, cut down, plagued, deluged, incinerated, pelted with ice cubes, and then showered with brimstone? I suppose it doesn’t matter, so long as they can be construed to serve his cause…

And my holy name (wa ‘eth shem qodesh ‘any) I will make known (yada’) in the midst of my people (ba tawek ‘am ‘any), Israel (Yisra’el).

My holy name (‘eth shem qodesh ‘any), I will not allow to be profaned and defiled as common (lo’ chalal) anymore (‘owd).

And the gentiles will have come to know (wa yada’ ha gowym) that I am Yahowah (ky ‘any YaHoWaH), the Set-Apart One (qadosh) in Yisra’el (ba Yisra’el). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:7)

357With the adversary and alter ego pummeled into submission, they have returned to the Great Reveal – to Satan’s coming out party.

By contrast, Yahowah has once again delegated the task of making His name known to His people. It is the purpose of Yada Yahowah. And considering the relative size of Satan’s contingent versus Yahowah’s family, God’s name will not be accepted or acknowledged to the extent envisioned here. Try as we might, Jews are experts at denial, so there is every expectation that Yahowah will be recognized by thousands among millions of Jews.

Yahowah’s name has never been profaned or made common by Yisra’elites or Yahuwdym. They have made a religion out of ignoring it and writing it out of their lives. Therefore, the second of the preceding three sentences is absurdly invalid.

And with the final statement, we find yet another example of gentiles serving as witnesses to the Lord’s disregard for God’s people. The Serpent is doing this to Yisra’el, not for them.

As for the witnesses, the expectation is for one in a million, perhaps 8,000 among 8,000,000,000 gentiles to recognize Yahowah. Since there are far more of them, and since many are less recalcitrant, gowym may even outnumber Yahuwdym on Kipurym. Although present, they will be witnesses even there because the Day of Reconciliations is a reunion of Yisra’el and Yahuwdah with Yahowah.

Behold (hineh), it is coming (bow’). And it will exist (wa hayah), declares (na’um) my Lord (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!). It is the day (huw’ ha yowm) which I have spoken (‘asher dabar). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:8)

I suppose this is true no matter how we interpret these words. A day is coming – October 2^nd at sunset in 358Yaruwshalaim in 2033, on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations, Yahowah will return. And three years earlier, on the 1^st of ‘Abyb, two weeks before the two witnesses arrive on Pesach | Passover, Satan will enter Jerusalem during the Great Reveal. They will both have their day – one significantly better than the other.

The more impoverished celebrant must think that all men are stupid, which is required for anyone to believe that this is even remotely possible…

Then (wa), the inhabitants who dwell in the cities of Israel (yashab ‘iyr Yisra’el), they will go out (yatsa’) and they will have lit a fire to burn (wa ba’ar), and they will have kindled (wa nasaq hem) weapon (nesheq), defensive shield (wa magen), cold barb (wa tsinah), with bow and with arrows (ba qesheth wa chetsym), with wooden hand club (wa ba maqel yad), and with spear (wa ba romach).

And they will have lit a fire to burn (wa ba’ar) with them (ba hem) for seven years (sheba’ shanahym) of fire (‘esh). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:9)

Since we are playing make-believe in the Devil’s sandbox, let’s pretend that, since Persia was the only significant, identifiable foe among the Magogians, the entire Iranian military and allies will arrive. Including all of their reservists and Hezbollah, even Hamas and Islamic Jihad, adding the Gomerines and Grievers too, the total number of belligerents riding their horses into Israel would be one million angry Muslims along with one hundred thousand Christian soldiers marching to war.

Forgetting for a moment that the Lord has already sent down fire from heaven along with brimstone that would have incinerated anything combustible, and that the remains were waterlogged from the deluge, pummeled by hailstones, and infected with the plague, just how many combustible weapons could the Magogians be carrying? Keep in mind, to get an accurate count, guns, knives, and 359swords cannot be included because metal does not burn – nor do shields or barbs for that matter.

Pretending for a moment that the skeletons were a mirage and that no Jews were harmed in the filming of the Lord’s previous tirades, seven million Israelis playing pick-up sticks would have the bow, arrows, club, and spear, all of which other than arrows were singular, picked up within a day’s time. The resulting fire might last that long. That would leave them 2,555 days shy of the allotted 2,557. Unless, of course, we are to witness the miracle of Hanukkah, in which the oil lamp flickered eight days instead of one – or 2,557 days and nights in this example.

As we have discovered when the Lord’s submissive was playing charades, the numbers were never realistic. His body would have atrophied, and he would have died laying on his side, having starved to death on the limited rations. It is like suggesting that there is a valley in Israel capable of staging tens of millions of Israeli skeletons – not that a suitable location was the primary concern in that example.

As if Der Lord needed another nail in his coffin, why at this late date are people burning wood rather than using gas or electricity to light and warm their homes? And since he said that he was returning to bring Gog down, does the Serpent want us to believe that Israeli cities in the first seven years after his return are going to be choked with smog? Or is the Lowytan hightailing it out of town after the big showdown against the mighty Gog, only to return on schedule seven years thereafter? If so, set your calendar, because the heavenly fireworks will begin in 2027, four years from this writing.

We have been regaled with a lot of stupid stuff sandwiched between some macabre behavior, and while this isn’t the most idiotic claim, it’s in the top ten. Okay, 360maybe that’s too bold. There’s been a lot of $#:+ thrown our way by #^^#! – reading right to left of course.

Mind you, I will not claim that this is a scholarly approach to such stupidity, but the scholars ought not claim that this is “scripture,” either. And should this sound like an apology, it isn’t. Yahowah prefers sarcasm.

And they will not lift up or carry (wa lo’ nasa’) wood out of the open field (‘ets min ha sadeh). And they will not chop wood (wa lo’ chatab) out of the forests and thickets (min ha ya’arym). Indeed, with the weapon (ky ba ha nesheq), they will continually burn fire (ba’ar ‘esh).

Then they will plunder (wa shalal) those who plundered them (‘eth shalah hem). And they will have plundered (bazaz) those who plundered them (‘eth bazaz hem), declares (na’um) my Lord (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:10)

Can you imagine the Serpent’s surprise when he discovers that fireplaces are as scarce as torches in the high-rises, condominiums, and large apartment complexes housing Jews today? And when was the last time a Progressive resident of Tel Aviv went out to the woods with an ax to chop down a tree to illuminate or warm an apartment? Can today’s young multiculturalists even tell the business end of an ax from the handle? And how are they supposed to wave their rainbow flag and chop wood simultaneously? Having listened to them, they cannot march and talk at the same time. After all, amidst the current political turmoil in Israel, they think that they are going to save democracy by having those who were never elected to the Supreme Court continue to override those who were all elected to the Knesset.

In reality, the scale of Magog’s defeat was crafted to make it appear that the Lord, who defeated them, must be very big and powerful. And the reference to seven years 361was to suggest that the Lord and God were speaking the same language.

But how does one shalal the shalal and bazaz the bazaz when all that is left are weapons and firewood? Is there yet another foe? Is there an impending energy crisis?

I suppose this is like the Quran. Allah in his parting shot to Muslims, toward the conclusion of the last surah revealed, is that those who question him will lose their faith. So, all that’s important here for believers is that Gowg, like Satan, was a formidable adversary. However, now, due to the Lord’s decisive action, the aggravation is all in the past because the menace is dead and buried – or were they dead and left to be buried?

And it will have been in that day (wa hayah ba ha yowm ha huw’) I will give (nathan) to (la) Gog (Gowg – related to Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of the Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Ya’aqob for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home), a place and home there (maqowm sham) for burial, a grave (qeber) in Israel (ba Yisrael) – a valley (gay’) of the passing over (ha ‘abar) east of the sea (qidmah ha yam).

And it will serve to muzzle and become a roadblock to prevent forward progress (wa chasam) – it with those passing through (hy’ ‘eth ha ‘abar).

They will have been entombed there (wa qabar sham) with (‘eth) Gog (Gowg – spawn of Ra’uwben (Behold the Vision of this Son), the disgraced, disenfranchised, deprived, and disinherited firstborn of Yisra’el for engaging inappropriately in his father’s home) and with all of his confused and uproarious rumbling multitudes and his hordes of troops (wa ‘eth kol hamown huw’). And it will have been called (wa qara’), Gay’ Hamown Gowg | the Valley of the Uproarious and 362Confused Hordes of the Massive Army of Gog (gay’ hamown gowg). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:11)

If it were up to me, I’d fire the Lord. What a jerk. He slaughters them, claims to have given them a burial, but then backs away, contradicts himself, and tells the Jews that he has sought to kill 25 different ways, to bury them. But not to worry, because there will be no complaints. The survivors will be muzzled. There will be no forward progress.

Should anyone still buy into the myth of Gog and Magog, please tell us, where is the Valley of Passing Over? Why predicate a title on a verb? Why identify death with ‘abar, the actionable root of Passover? Why change the name in the next breath to Gay’ Hamown Gowg? Why dump the trash in the Promised Land? Why brag about burying an army and then renege? Why pretend that the burial site of a million men, if we can be that generous, would make Israel east of the sea impassable? Six million Jews were buried in Europe during the Holocaust and there are no roadblocks.

The stench of death associated with an unburied body is pungent and nauseating in a matter of days. After seven months, the disgusting odor would be so pungent no one could approach the fallen, much less bury them. Further, since he has Jews emerging from the city to burn their clubs and pilfer them, outnumbering Hamown Gowg seven to one, a day would suffice. Seven months is absurd in every which way.

Why tell us that the vultures and the beast ate them, and then the fire incinerated them, if there is something left to bury? And how does burying rotting flesh cleanse the land?

The House of Israel (beyth Yisra’el) will be burying them (wa qabar hem) in order to cleanse (la ma’an taher) 363the land (ha ‘erets) for seven months (sheba’ chodesh). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:12)

One might correctly assume that the most reasonable conclusion after reading a litany of ridiculous statements is that Ezekiel is untrustworthy at best and, more likely, deliberately deceitful.

All of the people (wa kol ‘am) of the land (ha ‘erets) will have been buried (qabar). And it will be (wa hayah) for them (la hem) for a name of renown, a personal identification or reputation (la shem) of the Day (yowm) I glorify myself (kabed ‘any – I honor me and make myself proud), prophetically announces (na’um) my Lord (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:13)

From Satan’s perspective, this is his Day – the day he glorifies himself. It is yet another announcement of the Great Reveal.

Since there is no pronoun following qabar | will have been buried, the phrase cannot be translated as “they will have buried them.” And because the subject is “all the people of the land,” this sounds like they will be digging their own graves.

Likewise, one would have to be fairly pathetic to count participation in a burial detail, perhaps even one’s own, to be among the items listed prominently on a résumé. And if mass murder is how the Lowytan intends to make a name for himself, he isn’t worth knowing. But, indeed, that appears to be the case since this is the day the Lord of Babel will be extolling himself. He should be so proud.

Individuals (wa ‘iysh) perpetually and continuously (tamyd), they will select, dismiss, and exclude, expelling (badal) those passing through (‘abar) within the land (ba ha ‘erets) to bury (qabar) those passing through (‘eth ha ‘abar) with those who are remaining and left over 364(‘eth ha yathar) upon the face of the land (‘al paneh ha ‘erets) to cleanse it (la taher hy’). From the end (min qaseh) of seven months (sheba’ chodesh), they will explore (chaqar). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:14)

I suppose it was time to toss another word salad, although when the ingredients are decomposing bodies, it’s less than appealing.

And those passing through (wa ‘abar) of those passing through (ha ‘abar) in the land (ba ha ‘erets) and he sees a bone (wa ra’ah ‘etsem) of a man (‘adam), then he will build beside it (banah ‘etsel huw’) a sign (Tsyown) until (‘ad) they bury it (qeber ‘eth huw’), those who bury (ha qeber) to (‘el) Gay’ Hamown Gowg (gay’ hamown gowg). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:15)

The fascination is with the dead, not the living, bones rather than Towrah. And the signs point to where men have died instead of how they might live.

The Lord would even speak of an imaginary city of graves…

And also, the name of the city (wa gam shem ‘iyr) Hamonah (Hamownah – the feminine of hamown, although no such place exists). They will cleanse (wa taher) the land (ha ‘erets). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:16)

It boggles the mind that Jews, Christians, and Muslims actually believe that this verbal diarrhea from the pits of Hell was uttered by God. It is grotesquely demeaning to our Creator to have associated Him with this trash. Is it any wonder God hates religion?

Up to this point, this is as incongruous as the Talmud, as nonsensical as the New Testament, as disgusting as the Quran, and as meritless as Mein Kampf. Quite frankly, I would have expected better of Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer.

365And speaking of this twisted pair of murderers, Manson worshiped Satan. And the Milwaukee Monster’s psychological profile was remarkably similar to Lord Lowytan. In fact, in researching Dahmer, I discovered that the serial killer with a penchant for perverted sexuality craved submissive relationships. He sought to remember his victims by displaying their bones – oddly thrilled and preoccupied with skeletons – which Dahmer called fiddlesticks. Like the Lord, he was a schizophrenic psychopath, having been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Since my ex-wife suffers from BPD, I am all too familiar with the symptoms – most of which are vividly represented in the Lord’s autobiography. Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by a distorted sense of self, and in particular, the propensity to present oneself as a victim while being the perpetrator. Prior events and conversations are grotesquely distorted, misrepresenting something positive as insulting and often hideous. The most negative and immoral motivations are projected upon others when they are actually reflections of the BPD’s own dark desires. Truth is commingled with lies and reality is distorted such that revisionism consumes their world. The distinction between love and hate is blurred, as is right and wrong. The fear of abandonment overwhelms them as their detachment from reality grows. They are a black hole into which all things worthwhile are consumed, not unlike She’owl.

We have seen all of this in Ezekiel, along with aspects of the other Cluster B disorders: antisocial (disregard for and violation of the rights of others along with a lack of empathy), histrionics (attention seeking with an insatiable desire for acceptance and approval, prone to exaggeration and inappropriate appearances), and narcissistic personality disorder (exaggerated feelings of self-366importance and need for admiration while being exploitative).

Within Ezekiel’s narrative, we find everything one would ascribe to someone suffering from BPD, histrionics, antisocial disorder, and narcissism. These include:

constant attention-seeking,

persistent lying and paranoia,

being prone to exaggeration,

the use of aliases due to an unstable self-image,

being overly dramatic and provocative,

overwhelmingly opinionated without reason,

excessively concerned with physical appearances,

a disregard for the wellbeing of others,

envious to the point of stealing,

aggressive and often violent outbursts,

impulsive and risky relationships, diet, and sex,

consistently blaming others for their failures,

intense fear of being abandoned,

a suffocating sense of victimization,

a complete lack of remorse,

arrogance, fed by praise and feigned validation,

unreasonable expectations which degrade others.

As I composed this hellacious list of traits common to those afflicted by Borderline Personality Disorder, I was drawn back to the frustrations of my failed marriage. At the time, trying to resolve the problem, I developed considerable expertise explaining how BPD devours truth and destroys minds, relationships, and lives. But there was nothing I could do to resolve any of these issues because BPD cannot be reasoned with, and it is untreatable.

Now, many years removed from those frustrating days, and in a wonderful marriage, I had to finally smile. Yahowah rather enjoys working with people who have experienced the ill effects of the things which irreparably damage our relationship with Him. So, something good 367came out of a long challenging situation. I’m better prepared to understand the psychosis which style the Serpent’s persona and confessions.

This review of Cluster B psychological disorders will help us diagnose the bombastic individual responsible for these words because we are on the precipice of entering hell. What follows is the Feast of the Beast.

And you (wa ‘atah), son of man (ben ‘adam), here and now, thus says (koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master controlling me (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!), it is imperative that you speak (‘amar) to the bird (tsiphowr) of every wing (kol kanaph) and to the entire beast (la kol chayah) of the open environs (ha sadeh).

It is imperative that you assemble (qabats). You must come (wa bow’). You are being compelled to gather and assemble together (‘asaph) from all around (min sabyb) unto the sacrifice (‘al zebach – the slaughter, offering killed and presented as an act of worship) for me (‘any) which (‘asher) I, myself, am slaughtering for you (‘any zabach la ‘atem – I, myself, am killing, sacrificing, and butchering for you all).

It is a great and important (gadowl) sacrifice (zebach – dead animal butchered for consumption) on the mountains of Israel (‘al hary). And you will have eaten flesh (wa ‘akal basar) and you will have drunk blood (wa shathah dam). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:17)

This is an orgy of control by the ultimate narcissist seeking absolute supremacy. And in his celebration of self-importance, he is instituting the most depraved ritual – eating one’s victims while drinking their blood.

This is seriously anti-Towrah. Not only aren’t people considered food, drinking blood is strictly verboten. Moreover, the Mow’ed sacrifices are feasts for the Family, 368not showcases for the Lord’s ego. And the Miqra’ey are absolutely and unequivocally voluntary – not obligatory.

Turns out, Satan is a proponent of cannibalism and of drinking blood – especially if he can insinuate that it is Dowd’s and those seeking to emulate Yahowah’s Chosen...

The human flesh (basar – the skin, meat, and body) of the Gibowrym | Courageous and Capable Defenders (Gibowrym – of the strong, powerful, and mighty men, the brave, valiant, and upright individuals, a title afforded Dowd in Yasha’yah 9:6-7 and a characteristic ascribed to the Choter in Isaiah 11:1-2; from gabar – to prevail and empower) you will actually and consistently eat (‘akal – you will continually and genuinely consume as food (qal imperfect second-person masculine plural)) and the blood (wa dam) of the elevated and acclaimed leaders and princes (nasy’ – of the rulers who govern, a title applied to Dowd 30 times in Ezekiel; from nasa’ – to lift up) of the Land (ha ‘erets – of the nation of Yisra’el, region, country, earth, or Earth) you will continually drink (shathah – you will swallow the liquid (qal imperfect jussive second-person masculine plural)), of rams as leaders of the flock, rams who knock down walls, and rams who are authority figures (‘ayil kar wa ‘athuwd), of bulls, (par), the fattened animals (mary’) of the Serpent of Bashan (Bashan – snake, an area near Galilee and the Golan as a place of refuge) – all of them (kol hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:18)

No matter who the Lord is sacrificing and then ordering his subjects to eat, or whose blood he is serving at his coming out party, this is insanely inappropriate. But when we realize that he wants Dowd sacrificed and consumed, along with the Choter who serves as the king’s herald, such depravity is well beyond the Godless nature of your prototypical cannibal and degenerate vampire. The Devil has sunk to a new low. The Feast of the Beast is a Hell of a party.

369Having never been plated previously, considering the host, I was wondering whether to be offended or take it as a compliment. And speaking of complements, what pairing might we recommend, say a lovely merlot instead of the chalice of blood?

The Lord of Cannibals and the Vampire of Bashan continues to explain the menu at his obligatory reception. And now I’m offended. He could have done without poking fun at my fatty parts…

And you will have actually eaten (wa ‘akal) the lipid tissue, the finest fats, and the callous heart (cheleb) until satiated and satisfied, gluttonous in the abundance (saba’ah).

And you will have literally drunk blood (wa shathah dam) unto the point of intoxication (la shikarown) from the sacrificial meat (min zebach) of mine (‘any) which (‘asher) I have slaughtered for the sacrifice (zabach) for you (la ‘atem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:19)

So, you will have been satiated and satisfied (wa saba’) on my table (‘al shulchan ‘any) with the stallion and rider (suws wa rekeb), the Courageous Man of Exemplary Character (Gibowr), the entire individual (wa kol ‘iysh), the warrior (milchamah), proclaims (na’um) my Lord and Master controlling me (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:20)

There is no denying that Ezekiel’s Lord is demanding that his subjects eat the flesh of the most Exemplary of Men, God’s Warrior, until he is completely gone. They must also drink the Messiah’s blood in Satan’s grotesque ritual of self-glorification. And while I suppose that the Choter was simply an appetizer, one must admit that the Lord’s introduction of the Eucharist is exceptionally macabre.

370Anticipating his Day of Days, Satan is completely dysregulated and obviously demonic. There is no hiding his true nature anymore. He has exposed his hideousness for all to see. This is the Beast of Babel, the Grand Lowytan, the Serpent of Bashar, and the Snake in the Garden at his Great Reveal…

Then I will have bestowed (wa nathan) my glorification and manifestation of my power (‘eth kabowd ‘any) within the gentiles (ba ha gowym). And all of the gentiles (kol ha gowym) will have seen (ra’ah) my judgment (mishpat ‘any) which I have done (‘asher ‘asah) and my hand (wa yad ‘any) which I will have set (‘asher sym) among them (ba hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:21)

So, the House of Israel (wa beyth Yisra’el) will acknowledge (yada’) that I am (ky ‘any) This Is Not Him (#^^#!), their god (‘elohym hem), from that day (min ha yowm ha huw’) and beyond into the future (hala’ah). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:22)

Having taken the unsuspecting into Hell, we find the mother of all conspiracy theories: Christianity. According to the Lord of Babel, gentiles can blame Jews for everything with his blessing. Reading like the Christian New Testament, this suggests that Jesus was revealed to the gentiles because the dastardly Jews were so rebellious, they schemed to kill him.

So, as a consequence of their disloyalty and lack of belief in the mythical Christian Christ, God allegedly concealed his appearance as a man from them and handed them over to the gentiles to abuse and kill them. And then, of course, he used the story of his demise and resurrection to replace Pesach, putting Dowd on the plate instead of the Lamb.

Then the gentiles (wa ha gowym) will realize (yada’) that the House of Israel (beyth Yisra’el), in their 371revolting perversions and twisted depravity (ky ba ‘awon hem), has now been exposed and laid bare, justifying captivity (galah), on top of which (‘al ‘asher) they were unfaithful, unreliable, and disobedient (ma’al) with me (ba ‘any).

So, I concealed (wa sathar) my presence and appearance (paneh ‘any) from them (min hem) and I gave them (nathan hem) into the control (ba yad) of their adversaries and oppressors (tsar hem). And they fell by the sword (wa naphal ba ha chereb) – all of them (kol hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:23)

According to their immoral filth and unethical nature (ka tuma’ah hem), and according to their revolting rebellion (ka pesha’ hem), I acted against them, dealing with them (‘asah ‘eth hem).

And then, I concealed (wa sathar) my presence and appearance (paneh ‘any) from them (min hem). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:24)

Blame the Jews. It is all their fault.

And yet, without the Jews, the Lord’s autobiography would have languished in obscurity. And without manipulating Jews, there will be no way to foil Yahowah’s homecoming. So, don’t you think the Serpent would lighten up a bit and incorporate them into his scheme – no matter how reprehensible he may find them? It should be easy enough because all it will take is a little duplicity…

Therefore, as a result, here and now, thus said (la ken koh ‘amar) my Lord and Master (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!), simultaneously (‘atah), I will restore (shuwb) the fortuitous captivity (‘eth shebyth) of Jacob (Ya’aqob).

And for the moment, I will have caused the perception of mercy to have been felt (wa racham – I will 372momentarily projected compassion (piel perfect)) unto the whole House of Israel (kol beyth Yisra’el).

For I have been envious, jealously demanding exclusivity (wa qana’) for my holy name (shem qodesh ‘any). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:25)

This is yet another pronouncement of the Grand Reveal for Satan. It is the moment when he relents from abusing Jews long enough to convince them that he is their God. And so, in making them his captives, he will demonstrate that he alone should be the object of their devotion. Should they consent, as the Book of Ezekiel portends, then from this point forward, the Lord will focus his attention on recreating Jerusalem in his image along with building his rendition of the Temple. He will rewrite the Towrah to suit his nature and rearrange the Mow’ed to include the Feast of the Beast. This leads to the final chapter and the reallocation of the Promised Land.

So, this is the Lord’s moment, his triumphant return to glory, his coming out party. Although, he’s not very good at sharing. As Satan is celebrated as God, Jews are debased yet again…

And they carry and bear (wa nasa’) their disgrace and shame, their humiliating and degrading status (kalimah hem), and all of their perfidy and treachery, their disobedience and fraudulent dealings (wa ‘eth kol ma’al hem), which they have been disobedient and betrayed me (‘asher ma’al ba ‘any).

With the occupation by them (ba yashab hem) on their dirt (‘al ‘adamah hem), unsuspecting and naïve, even undefended and vulnerable in their overconfidence (la betach hem), there will be no one to astonish, frighten, or terrorize (wa ‘ayin charad). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:26)

373Satan’s idea of reconciliation is considerably different and grossly inferior to Yahowah’s. Although, when compared to the rabbinical approach to Yom Kippur, there is a commonality of purpose – affliction.

I would not recommend trusting this fellow with one’s soul. But then again, since he wants his celebrants to eat the Choter and drink his blood along with my Messiah and the Son of God, Dowd, I don’t suppose he is fond of us either.

In returning (ba shuwb), I with them (‘any ‘eth hem) from the peoples (min ha ‘amym). I obtained and gathered them (wa qabats ‘eth hem) from the lands (min ‘eretsowth) of their enemies (‘oyeb hem). Then I became sacred and was shown to be holy (wa qadash) through them (ba hem) in the eyes (ba ha ‘ayn) of many great and exalted gentiles (gowym rab). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:27)

Nothing seems to say “sacred and holy” to the religious more than praising god while then demeaning Jews. It’s little wonder the Lord of Babel is so popular.

And then they will realize and acknowledge (wa yada’) that, surely (ky), I am (‘any) This Is Not Him (#^^#!), their god (‘elohym hem), by revealing myself (galah ‘any) to them (la hem) for the gentiles (‘el ha gowym).

I collected them and heaped them (wa kanas) upon their ground (‘al ‘adamah). And I will not spare a remnant (wa lo’ yathar – I will cause there to be none left or remaining) any longer or ever again of them there (‘owd min hem sham). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:28)

Then I will not conceal, keeping secret (wa sathar), any longer (‘owd) my presence or appearance (paneh ‘any) from them (min hem) because I will shed and pour out (‘asher shaphak) my spirit (‘eth ruwach ‘any) upon the House of Israel (‘al beyth Yisra’el), announces 374(na’um) my Lord (‘adony), This Is Not Him (#^^#!). (Yachezq’el / Ezekiel 39:29)

Perhaps, Satan is drunk on his own spirit. Neither the religious nor political, neither Jews, Christians, nor Muslims, are going to admit that their god is Yahowah. Jews have worked too hard and long to deny God’s name to accept it at this late date, and Christians and Muslims are wed to their Jesus and Allah.

And so, in this, the Lord’s most repeated proposition throughout Ezekiel, he will fail. It is yet another false prophecy.
