To Dowd or Not to Dowd

Root of Replacement Theology…

The Psalm we are about to consider is the most relevant revelation for our time – especially as Yahowah is calling Yisra’el and Yahuwdah home. It presents Dowd as the Chosen One, as the Son of God, as the Mashyach | Messiah, as the King of Kings, as the embodiment of the Beryth | Covenant, and as someone so uniquely Qodesh | Set Apart, he will become as brilliant as the sun in God’s presence.

By contrast, the Mizmowr | Psalm condemns Sha’uwl | Paul, the principal author of the Christian New Testament, by name, depicting him as the most deceitful and damning individual in human history. The Psalm, like the prophecy it parallels and augments in 2 Shamuw’el 7, calls the demon-possessed founder of the Christian religion: the “Son of Evil.” As such, this is a referendum between the Covenant and Christianity, between Dowd and the mythical Jesus. One choice is right, the other wrong. One is good, the other bad. One is the source of life while the other leads to death.

God is annoyed, indeed angry, that so many have come to believe Sha’uwl | Paul when he deliberately, presumptuously, and erroneously transferred every promise He had made to His beloved Son, Dowd | David, to the misnomer, “Jesus Christ.” Therefore, after celebrating every nuance of the 89^th Mizmowr | Psalm, we are going to expose Paul’s pathetic attempt at Replacement Theology.

416We will systematically condemn his overt perversions of the Word of God, refuting his approach to deifying his incarnation of Dionysus (the basis of the Christian “Jesus”) while demeaning the actual Messiah, Dowd, such that the most interesting man in the world was reduced to a bumbling sperm donor. After being made aware of what Paul had to say and what he would write regarding Dowd, especially after reading this Mizmowr | Psalm, sane individuals will come to love one and hate the other. To carry around the 89^th Psalm in the same book as Paul’s Epistles is schizophrenic. To trust God’s inspiration of the Mizmowr is to reject the entirety of the Christian New Testament.

Speaking of disdain, in our transition from Paul’s oral arguments against Dowd to his written appeal, we are going to systematically examine the conception of the Christian New Testament using the “Gospel of Matthew” as our test case. We will examine when it was written and by whom so that we have a better appreciation of the reasons behind its anti-Semitic undercurrent.

Then we will turn our attention to the hideous nature of the Church which is responsible for it. While you will find those segments of these chapters appalling, they are necessary. For others to appreciate the truth, we must obliterate the lies.

If you are Jewish and reading this introduction to the 89^th Mizmowr, please do not turn away just because the party being condemned is the rabbi who created Christianity rather than Akiba who, four score of years later, became the father of Judaism by foisting a false Messiah on his people. For one reason, the Psalm’s condemnation of Dowd’s adversary will expose the reason Jews were harassed by Imperial Rome in Judea and then by the Roman Catholic Church throughout Europe. And secondly, without Paul’s portrayal of the imaginary “Jesus Christ” as the Messiah and Savior, Akiba would not have 417promoted another false Messiah in Simon bar Kokhba. And without what Akiba wrought upon Jews through his false messiah, there is no Judaism. Every strain of the religion practiced today was conceived during the Diaspora and under the dark shadow of how one man’s tragically errant claim led to the other man’s catastrophic counter proposal – damning 80 generations of Jews over 1,900 years.

Let’s be perfectly clear: there was no “Jesus Christ.” The Christian god is both myth and mythological – a blend of Odysseus and Dionysus masquerading under Dowd’s titles and accolades. Paul and pals simply misappropriated the many hundreds of prophecies pertaining to Dowd’s accolades and accomplishments and moronically projected them onto their misnomer. And worse, the forefathers of Rabbinic Judaism were so unaware and unappreciative of what Dowd had said and done, they failed to oppose and prevent the demon-possessed Sha’uwl | Paul get away with it.

At great personal sacrifice, Dowd | David earned our respect and admiration by fulfilling Pesach and Matsah leading to Bikuwrym in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah, 33 CE. The basar | corporeal body of the Son of God served as the Passover Lamb. And then during the Miqra’ of UnYeasted Bread, the nepesh | soul of ha Mashyach carried the guilt of every Child of the Covenant with him into She’owl | Hell, depositing it there, never to be seen again. The following morning, Yahowah’s Ruwach | Spirit and Dowd’s nepesh | consciousness were reunited as the Father’s Bakowr | Firstborn Son celebrated Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children.

The fulfillment of the Spring Mow’edym in year 4000 Yah was more vital and relevant than anything that had or would occur in human history, and yet, as a result of what Paul and Akiba would write to deny it, the world has been led away from God and deprived of individual and collective salvation for 1,990 years by the time of this 418writing. Theirs was the greatest crime ever perpetrated on God’s people, greater even than removing Yahowah’s name from His Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr. The 89^th Psalm is Yahowah’s response to how His Son would be slighted and His people deprived – albeit written 1,000 years before it occurred.

Before we commence our journey through the lyrics of this song, let’s consider the big picture. The underlying premise of Judaism is as preposterous as the proposition upon which Christianity is predicated. To be a religious Jew, you have to agree with the rabbis, especially Akiba, that Yahowah was such a poor communicator that He cannot be understood apart from rabbinical interpretations.

You have to believe that the Towrah was so inadequate that, without rabbinical explanations, which are tantamount to religious laws, its instructions are not applicable to people’s lives. You have to think that the most respectful treatment of God’s name is to eliminate it from His testimony. And then, you have to consent to the proposition that Rabbi Akiba, the man who knowingly forced a false messiah upon his people, who murdered and maimed Jews who didn’t capitulate to his authority, and whose uprising against Rome led to millions of Yahuwdym being either crucified or sold into slavery, creating the Diaspora, was trustworthy and should be followed over Yahowah. If you are religious and haven’t thought this through, shame on you. If you have and don’t care, then your apathy will be your undoing.

If you are a Christian, it means that you believe that God does not care what you call Him. It means that Yahowah is an abject failure whose promises are unreliable. You have to believe that God’s plan, the one He formulated and shared in His Towrah, is antiquated and inadequate, absolutely incapable of saving anyone. And then, you must think that God simply gave up and authorized an egotistical, dishonest, irrational, and 419murderous man to fix these problems by either annulling or misappropriating everything He had said such that the result, which is entirely contradictory, is somehow credible.

Judaism is nothing more than the desperate attempt by rabbis to control Jews while under the foreboding shadow of Imperial Rome as it evolved into the Roman Catholic Church. One lie led to another, and to another, to the extent the truth was no longer recognizable to anyone. And that is what we are going to resolve by confronting the inspired testimony of the 89^th Mizmowr. The way Home begins with the recognition of who Dowd is, what he wrote, what he accomplished, and what he represents to us yesterday, today, and tomorrow. As important as Moseh was in his role of bringing us Yahowah’s Towrah while liberating Yahowah’s people from human oppression, Dowd is more relevant. He is our Savior.

The 89^th Psalm begins by revealing that it will be presenting insights that we would be wise to contemplate because they apply to the “everlasting and native-born strong arm” of God. Then the Psalmist focuses on a concept Christians, Jews, and Muslims are wont to ignore: Yahowah is loving and merciful because He is trustworthy and dependable. This realization negates the supplemental and replacement texts of the Talmud, Zohar, New Testament, and Quran.

They, by presenting a different approach, that of a god who changes his mind on core issues and then relies on others to come up with an amended plan (which is the underlying premise of the New Testament, the Talmud, and the Quran), are thereby negating the consistency needed for Yah to be credible. God’s promises are reliable because He never changes His approach. What He has promised remains true for all generations and for all time. To annul it and replace it with another plan, whether that be based 420upon faith, obedience, or submission, nullifies the means Yahowah has chosen to be merciful.

Let’s begin…

“A Poem of Insights to Contemplate and Comprehend (maskyl – the lyrics to a song written to convey important ideas worthy of thoughtful consideration; a compound of ma – to ponder the important questions regarding sakal – being circumspect and prudent, gaining insights and prospering from them, paying attention to understand, and learning to comprehend) by (la – concerning, regarding, or through) ‘Eythan | Constant and Eternal, Productive and Established (‘Eythan – steadfast, steady, profuse, continuous, permanent, perpetual, and enduring) the ‘Ezrachy | the Beloved Native-Born Strong Arm (ha ‘Ezrachy – the loved one arising from the Land who is prepared for battle by being properly girded; from ‘ezrach – strong arm and chabab – the beloved and cherished).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89: Introduction and Dedication)

Since there was a man who bore this name, an individual explicitly noted for his wisdom in Melekym / 1 Kings 4:31 who was a contemporary of Shalomoh | Solomon and, thus, someone who would have known Dowd and served as an eyewitness to his relationship with Yahowah, it’s likely that ‘Eythan ha ‘Ezrachy was inspired by God to compose this Mizmowr. And yet today, I suspect that it’s what his name conveys to us that is more significant than his identity: the “Constant and Eternal, Productive and Established” witness to “the Beloved Native-Born Strong Arm” of Yahowah – a.k.a., Dowd.

This revelation should be on everyone’s lips and echoed throughout all time…

“I want to sing about (shyr – I have chosen to lift up my voice in song, genuinely ascribing my choice of lyrics to melodious sounds, accompanied by instruments, 421aesthetically conveying my ongoing desire (qal imperfect cohortative)) the eternal and everlasting love, steadfast devotion, enduring favoritism, unfailing affection, and genuine mercy (chesed ‘owlam – the perpetual relationship and kindness, the generosity and benefits forevermore) of Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), on behalf of (la – regarding the approach of) all generations throughout time (dowr wa dowr – the house and home, the dwelling place and successive encampments where people live and abide, the ongoing lineage, to everyone born into the same family line).

With my mouth (ba peh ‘any – in my speech and means to communicate orally and verbally), I will make known (yada’ – I will reveal, demonstrating that I am familiar with, and I will acknowledge, accept, appreciate, and show my understanding of (hifil imperfect)) Your trustworthiness and dependability (‘emuwnah ‘atah – Your honesty and reliability, Your steadfast commitment to the truth; from ‘emuwn – the enduring truth and ‘aman – to support, confirm, and uphold that which is trustworthy and reliable, verifiable and confirming that which is correct and accurate).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:1)

Those who know Yahowah realize that He is eternally loving and merciful, absolutely and invariably devoted to His Family. His affection is everlasting, spanning the eons of time.

And while that is all true, let it be known that Yahowah reaches out to those He prefers over others. Such was the case with ‘Adam and Chawah, Noach and his family, ‘Abraham and Sarah, Yitschaq and Ya’aqob, the Children of Yisra’el, Moseh and ‘Aharown, Yahowsha’ and Kaleb, Shamuw’el and ‘ElYah, but none to the extent of Dowd | the Beloved. And this Song is about him.

422Yahowah is also trustworthy. It’s such a simple concept with such extraordinary implications. Rather than being all-loving, omnipresent, or omniscient, and thus irrelevant, He is honest and thus reliable. Nothing is more valuable to mankind than His steadfast commitment to the truth, along with the tools He has provided for us to independently verify that His words were inspired by a being unconstrained by space or time. If this were not true, it would not matter what else He had to say.

This message was written for dowr wa dowr | every generation throughout time and pertains to the Home and Family of God. And when it comes to benefiting from these things, there is but one way – yada’ | knowing.

Whatever you may believe is irrelevant, as are your opinions. All that matters is knowing, understanding, accepting, and then acknowledging the truth.

“Yes, indeed (ky – it is surely true that), I say (‘amar – I expressed in words, declaring, and intending to say (qal perfect)), ‘Now and forevermore (‘owlam – eternally), the Spiritual Realm of the Heavens (shamaym – the abode of God in the 7^th dimension) was established and is continually built to procreate a restored, prosperous, and productive family (banah – was conceived and is constructed as a home to raise and fortify children (nifal imperfect)) on love, devotion, favoritism, kindness, generosity, and mercy (chesed – affection and supportive benefits).

You have fashioned and formed it to manifest within it (kuwn ba hem – You have established and prepared for it (hifil imperfect)) Your authentic character, Your trustworthiness and reliability (‘emuwnah ‘atah – Your validity and honesty, Your dependability and steadfast commitment to the truth).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:2)

423Yahowah’s entire purpose in creating the universe and life within it has been to “banah – conceive children and build a family.” His “chesed – devotion to it and love” for those who are part of it are “‘owlam – everlasting.”

By having the psalmist begin by addressing the intent and nature of Yahowah’s Heavenly Home in the 7^th dimension, we realize that, by coming to better appreciate what Dowd has done for us, we are afforded the opportunity to join him there. The Covenant’s Home in the Heavens was built of love. It is a place for God’s Family to grow and thrive. And it is there that those who have come to know and trust Yahowah based upon His depiction of Himself throughout the Towrah and Prophets will find that He is exactly as He has presented Himself. Our Heavenly Father is approachable and kind, loveable and genuine, welcoming and generous. He is also trustworthy, which means that we can rely upon everything He inspired His prophets to write on our behalf.

When Yahowah says that He “‘emuwnah – will establish and authenticate His trustworthiness and reliability” in the Spiritual Realm of the Heavens, He is telling us that we can count on Him delivering on the promises He has made through the Beryth | Covenant and Miqra’ey | Invitations to Meet – and through His Son, Dowd. While He demonstrates that His Word is reliable in the here and now through prophecy, it would be unwise for Him to overexpose the benefits of Heaven lest it attract people for the wrong reasons.

What follows is now in Yahowah’s voice. God equates Dowd | the Beloved with the Beryth | Covenant. God unequivocally states that Dowd is “la Bachyr – the Chosen One.” This affirms that Yahowah “shaba’ – swore an oath” to Dowd because he is God’s “‘ebed – coworker.” And that’s important because Yahowah never reneges on a promise – a realization He will make irrefutable in a moment.

424God’s statement reads…

“‘I have established, cutting through separation (karat – I have created, making a resolution by cutting off (as is the case with circumcision), a solemn agreement between parties with stipulations, responsibilities, and benefits (qal perfect)) the Beryth | Covenant for the Family and Home (Beryth – the Family-Oriented Relationship Agreement which brings individuals together with action, commitment, and engagement in accordance with the stipulations required of both parties to the agreement), through My Bachyr | Chosen One (la bachyr ‘any – on behalf of and for the individual I have personally decided upon, having preferred and selected under the auspices of freewill, the one I favor for a special relationship and affection; from bachar – to choose and decide and bachan – to test, examine, and scrutinize).

I have sworn an oath, and I will affirm this promise seven times over (shaba’ – I have made a binding commitment and I will always uphold the truth of this vow (nifal perfect)) to Dowd (la Dowd – concerning the Beloved; from dowd – the one who is loved and who loves in return), My ‘Ebed | Authorized Agent and Coworker who serves on My behalf (‘ebed ‘any – My coworker, associate, and servant; from ‘abad – to work).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:3)

Yahowah’s opening declaration in Dowd’s Song is as inspiring as it is profoundly important: ‘I have established, cutting through separation (karat) the Beryth | Covenant for the Family and Home (Beryth) through ‘Any Bachyr | My Chosen One – the person I prefer and have decided upon (la bachyr ‘any).

I have sworn an oath, and I will affirm this promise seven times over (shaba’) to Dowd | the Beloved (la Dowd), ‘Ebed ‘Any | My Authorized Agent and Coworker who serves on My behalf (‘ebed ‘any).’

425This declarative statement in God’s voice reveals His nature, describes how He works, and presents what He is trying to achieve. It affirms that the Beryth | Covenant is foremost on His mind. This means that Yahowah’s priority is to be our Father and raise a Family in His Home by working with His Son.

The realization that the Beryth is karat | cut and established through separation is relevant because God’s Home is distinctly different. It is unlike human renditions, particularly those portrayed by religion, popular culture, and politics. And because it is unique and, therefore, uncommon, to be part of it one must disavow the perceptions which have become universally accepted.

Second, karat beryth implies that there are some guiding principles associated with God’s Family. This highlights the fact that there are requirements for entry that must be met and benefits that are assured to those who accept them. As such, the Covenant is a mutually beneficial agreement and participatory partnership.

Third, the recognition that the Beryth | Family Home is being established through Dowd means that the Messiah and Son of God was instrumental in the process. And since every Covenant Member accepts the conditions and receives the benefits of the Beryth, Dowd’s life and lyrics exemplify the path to inclusion and, more importantly, he was instrumental in delivering the rewards. Further, the benefits of the Covenant are derived from the Mow’edym – Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym – which Dowd fulfilled.

One of the many ways that Yahowah’s Beryth differs from the human paradigm is that our Father gets to choose His children, and His potential sons and daughters are afforded the opportunity to accept or reject Him. While men and women can decide to conceive children, there are no auditions and no checklists for preferred attitudes, attributes, or abilities. We get what comes out.

426By contrast, as bachyr | chosen affirms, Yahowah selects, makes contact with, and introduces Himself to those with the character and personality traits He prefers. Further, while we cannot choose our birth parents, we are blessed with freewill when it comes to engaging in God’s Family.

Volition is fundamental to all loving relationships and mutually respectful and beneficial partnerships. It is a gift of God and given for this reason.

Yahowah makes a number of promises throughout the Towrah, and He is committed to honoring all of them. The first were shared with ‘Adam and then Noach, but the most vital of these were presented to ‘Abraham during the Covenant’s inception. And now, God is affirming that He intends to honor those promises through Dowd, who will serve as His ‘ebed | coworker in fulfilling them. Therefore, since the benefits of the Beryth were demonstrated during the Yatsa’ | Exodus and delivered through the Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out and Meet, Father and Son fulfilled them together.

By opening with karat beryth, Yahowah has affirmed the purpose of creation and the reason for our existence. He is also sharing an insight into the nature of His relationship with Dowd. God wants to enjoy life’s greatest blessing – raising a family and interacting with His children, starting with His favorite person, His Son and our King.

Since it is so essential to our understanding, please bear with me while I underscore the full implications of karat. The verb speaks primarily of separation, letting us know that the Covenant would be uncommon – separate and distinct from the popular religious rhetoric and political platitudes of men. To become part of the Beryth, one has to cease being party to anything which competes with it or contradicts it – and therefore, we must 427disassociate ourselves from Progressive nonsense, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

In that the primary definition of karat is “to cut,” it exemplifies the sign of the Covenant which is circumcision. And it demonstrates that we are to be set apart.

Here and elsewhere, the Beryth | Covenant Family is singular. We are either participants in the one Yahowah created with ‘Abraham and enabled through Dowd, or we are estranged from God. In spite of rabbinical protestations and Christian proclamations, there is no covenant with Judaism nor is there a new covenant.

Also, we should remain cognizant of the context. God preceded this pronouncement about the role Dowd plays in His Covenant by inspiriting the psalmist to affirm that He conceived the Heavens to procreate and restore His Family. He explained that His Home was predicated on love. And then He inspired His lyricist to say that we would be wise to trust and rely upon His testimony in this regard. This then leads to the bold declaration about Dowd being Yahowah’s Bachar | Chosen One through whom He would establish His Family and bring His people Home.

By stating, “la bachyr ‘any – with My Chosen One,” Yahowah has affirmed the paramount importance of freewill. He also confirmed that it works both ways. God can choose to include or exclude whomever He wishes within His Family just as we are free to express our desire to be adopted therein.

In harmony with this paradigm, our Heavenly Father is reinforcing something about the relationship we have long known but few appreciate. In almost every case God initiates contact, choosing the individuals He wants to be part of His Family. One way or another, Yahowah reaches out to individuals along life’s way and introduces Himself. How we respond and reciprocate determines our future.

428Since we know that Dowd was off tending sheep in Bethlehem and walked to Shamuw’el when called, he had left his father’s house, just as ‘Abraham had walked away from the cultural, religious, and political milieu of Babylon. Therefore, those seeking an introduction should now be aware: we can confidently extrapolate from Dowd what we should likewise do for ourselves, because Yahowah’s statements about Dowd reveal that he is the living embodiment of the Covenant.

This is the same Covenant with the same conditions and benefits that Yahowah presented in Bare’syth | Genesis, devoting much of its text to how it was developed with ‘Abraham, Sarah, and then Yitschaq. It’s the same Covenant Yahowah codified, designating His stipulations and allowances in His Towrah presented to Moseh. It is the same Covenant that was affirmed with Ya’aqob. Therefore, our Heavenly Father is acknowledging that Dowd holds a special place within His Family. Through this affirmation, Yahowah is saying that Dowd personifies the qualities He values. As a result, we can enhance our standing with God, indeed our value to God, by applying what Dowd wrote to our lives.

More than this, it is Yahowah’s universe and the heavens are His as well. He is not only entitled to choose who lives within them, He has chosen the person through whom our inclusion is possible. What this means for us is that we are not free to replace His choice with another, as in “Jesus,” or pretend there is another gatekeeper, as is the case with Judaism and Catholicism. Yahowah's declaration eliminates that possibility that He has any association with Judaism or Christianity. He did not choose any of the individuals responsible for these religious deceptions, which may be why they fail to acknowledge Dowd’s contribution to our lives.

429If we want to be part of Yahowah’s Covenant, we do so through Dowd or not at all. And that is as monumental a pronouncement as was the creation of the universe.

It is fairly uncommon for God to swear an oath to men, so when He says, “shaba’ Dowd – I have sworn an oath and I will affirm this promise seven times over with Dowd,” we ought to pay attention so that we come to understand the dynamics behind His calculus and benefit accordingly. For example, our acceptance of the Covenant’s terms will lead to its benefits because they were enabled by Yahowah working through Dowd to fulfill the Mow’edym. And that explains why Yahowah delivered upon His promise seven times.

Therefore, there would be seven affirmations of this vow. Dowd not only worked with Yahowah to fulfill Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah in 33CE, he enabled the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Harvests prior to his return on Kipurym to enjoy Sukah. They are a Father and Son team.

We don’t have to look beyond the next word to appreciate one of the things that made Yah’s favorite Son special. Yahowah presents Dowd as ‘Ebed ‘Any | My Associate and Coworker who serves with Me. This in turn reinforces something which should be obvious to all of us. Rather than imposing Himself upon His creation, God searches out individuals who will respond to His invitation, allowing Him to work through us for our mutual benefit. Patiently and parentally, He prepares His children such that we can be about our Father’s business. It is one of the most remarkable and endearing aspects of God’s nature.

And while that’s all true, it is especially so with Dowd. During the most important acts in the history of man’s relationship with God, Dowd was there. He fulfilled Passover with his basar | corporeal body serving as the 430sacrificial lamb. During UnYeasted Bread, Dowd’s nepesh | soul carried the guilt of every Child of the Covenant into She’owl | Hell and left it there, never to be seen again. The result was Firstborn Children, with Yahowah’s Bakowr | Firstborn Son leading the way Home. Having paid the price to redeem us, Dowd’s perfected soul was reunited with the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit and escorted back to Heaven where he became the first to receive the benefits of Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children. As a result, we are sufficiently enriched and enlightened to engage in the Shabuw’ah | Sevens Harvest and Trumpet his return for his people during Taruw’ah, calling Yahuwdym home. Our focus is on heralding the Chosen One’s role in our salvation so that God’s people are prepared for Dowd’s return on the Day of Reconciliations to be King of Shelters.

That’s a lot to learn from one name, one noun, two verbs, and two titles…

‘I have established, cutting through separation (karat) the Beryth | Covenant for the Family and Home (Beryth) through ‘Any Bachyr | My Chosen One – the person I prefer and have decided upon (la-bachyr-‘any).

I have sworn an oath, and I will affirm this promise seven times over (shaba’) to Dowd | the Beloved (la-Dowd), ‘Ebed ‘Any | My Authorized Agent and Coworker who serves on My behalf (‘ebed-‘any).’

Recognizing that the following pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions were integral to these verbs and nouns in the Hebrew text, let’s see what we can learn from the next six…

“‘Forevermore, as an eternal witness to the restoring testimony (‘ad ‘owlam – to provide never-ending guidance on reconciliation throughout time), I will prepare and establish (kuwn – I will appoint, equip, develop, support, and sustain (hifil imperfect)) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah – your 431seed and what you have sown, your children and descendants, your posterity and family, even your ethnicity and the yield of what you plant).

In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah – I will establish based upon the son, procreating a family by restoring and fortifying the resulting children; showing the maternal influence on building up) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah – your authority and authorization, your place of respect, and your right to lead) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr – regarding the approach of every related child, and concerning the house, the home, and the dwelling place of successive encampments where people live and abide within the same family).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:4 in part)

Dowd not only provides everlasting testimony through the lyrics of his Songs, but also his life serves as a restoring witness. What he has sown, we can reap. And in the Covenant, we can become his heirs.

Beyond this, there is but one throne in Heaven, one universal seat of honor, and it was constructed by Yahowah for His Son, Dowd. There is no seat of honor for Jesus, Paul, or Peter, none for Akiba, Maimonides, or Muhammad – although there is one in She’owl | Hell for the final five on this list. Myths are exempt, since they, like “Jesus,” are without souls.

We have every reason to suspect that both the verbal and the noun aspects of zera’, “sowing seeds” and “offspring,” were intended and that one invariably leads to the other when the seeds are properly tended and cultivated. As such, we’d be wise to consider both Dowd’s life and his lyrics because they lead to the same amazing place.

432In this light, Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb is based upon zera’. And this may be the most magnificent and revealing of Dowd’s titles and accolades.

Zera’ is also the fulcrum upon which the perversions associated with the villain in this story rise and fall. As the Hebrew word for “seed and seeds,” it can be accurately translated as “offspring, children, descendants, posterity, family, and progeny,” as a noun. As a verb, zera’ speaks of “sowing seeds” both literally and symbolically. It is from the verbal implication of “sowing seeds” that we come to appreciate the fact that, as is the case in English, “to seed” is to plant many “seeds,” just as a bag of seed contains hundreds if not thousands of them.

Nonetheless, Sha’uwl will attempt to base his religion on the notion that seed is singular, so we ought to be aware of zera’s implications. In spite of the obvious plural connotations of “seed,” and of its translation as “offspring, descendants, posterity, and children,” Paul claimed that the Towrah could be ignored because “Jesus Christ” was the promised seed, “singular,” of ‘Abraham and Dowd. In his twisted mind, nothing mattered before, during the interim, or since his mythical misnomer “Jesus Christ” was “born.” According to Paul, everything God had to say and did could be ignored by those who put their faith in his assessment.

Validating our earlier acknowledgment that the seeds Dowd had sown through his lyrics were as important as the offspring he brought into the Covenant Family, Yahowah said that He has made Dowd an “‘ad ‘owlam – eternal witness” such that “zera’ – his seed and whatever he sows” will “banah – be developed into a family and home” on behalf of “dowr dowr – every generation and time.” This negates any possibility of a person named “Jesus” fulfilling this or any other promise.

Returning to the heart of the 89^th Mizmowr, the realization that Yahowah is constructing a home for His 433Son, Dowd, is absolutely essential to our understanding of Yahowah and His relationship with us. In the manner of a Father, and in defiance of humanly conceived gods, our Heavenly Father is declaring that He is taking responsibility for raising and protecting, indeed, advocating on behalf of and lifting up His Son. And what He has accomplished with and for Dowd, through the Covenant, they will do for us.

Once we grasp this fundamental truth, rather than attempt the impossible and lift God up in praise, we ought to let Father and Son do what they have made possible. Our needs and His desire for our lives coalesce when we allow our Father to raise us as His children. This is the purpose of the Towrah’s Guidance and the reason the Covenant exists.

With this understanding, how is it that, after God created this universe for us to enjoy, we humans are so full of ourselves that we have built not one, but hundreds of thousands of houses for God? Stupid is as stupid does.

“Selah | Pause now and contemplate the implications (selah – take a moment to consider what has just been conveyed prior to moving on).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:4) And, therefore, Yahowah’s opening salvo in Dowd’s Song bears repeating…

Forevermore, as an ‘Ad ‘Owlam | Eternal Witness to the Restoring Testimony (‘ad ‘owlam), I will prepare 434and establish (kuwn) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah). In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr).’

Contemplating Dowd’s contribution to building Yahowah’s Home became the very thing that caused me to reconsider the prophecy upon which my curiosity with, and later devotion to, Yahowah’s testimony began. And if you’ll join me, we will discover that there are some amazing parallels between the 89^th Mizmowr and the initially perplexing narrative found in Shamuw’el / Listen to Him / 2 Samuel 7. Included among them is the fact that they are both devoted to teaching us that Yahowah is responsible for building a home for His Family and not the other way around.

Now that we have come to know so much more about Yahowah’s relationship with Dowd and realize that we are about to confront his adversary, the “Son of Evil,” let’s go back to where it all began over a score of years ago. Speaking of homes, of man’s and God’s, zera’ | seeds sown, ben | sons, and positions of honor…

“It came to pass (wa hayah ky) when the king sat down and relaxed in his home (ha melek yashab ba beyth huw’), because Yahowah (wa YaHoWaH) had given him comforting respite (nuwach la huw’) from his adversaries and rancorous foes (min sabyb min kol ‘oyeb huw’), (Shamuw’el 2 7:1) that the king said (wa ‘amar ha melek) to Nathan, the prophet (‘el Nathan ha naby’), ‘Please look around (ra’ah na’). I live (‘anoky yashab) in a house of cedar (ba beyth ‘erez), but the Ark of God (wa ‘arown ha ‘elohym) sits within curtains (yashab ba tawek ha yarya’ah).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:2)

So, Nathan said to the king (wa ‘amar Nathan ‘el ha melek), ‘Choose to go and do all that is in your best 435judgment (kol ‘asher ba lebab ‘atah) because, surely (ky), Yahowah is with you (Yahowah ‘im ‘atah).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:3) However, that evening (wa hayah ba ha laylah ha huw’) the word of Yahowah came to Nathan (dabar Yahowah hayah ‘el Nathan). He conveyed (la ‘amar), (Shamuw’el 2 7:4) ‘Go and tell (halak wa ‘amar ‘el) Dowd, My coworker (Dowd ‘ebed ‘any), that this is what Yahowah says (koh Yahowah ‘amar). “Why should you build Me a home to live in (ha ‘atah banah la ‘any beyth la yashab ‘any)? (Shamuw’el 2 7:5)

Indeed (ky), I have not lived (lo’ yashab) in a house (ba beyth) since the time (wa min yowm) that I lifted up to be with Me (‘alah ‘any ‘eth) the Children of Yisra’el (beny Yisra’el) out of the crucibles of oppression in Mitsraym(min Mitsraym). Then as an ongoing witness to the restoring testimony, up to (wa ‘ad) this day (ha yowm ha zeh), I have been moving about (wa hayah halak) in a tent dwelling as a tabernacle and home (ba ‘ohel wa ba mishkan). (Shamuw’el 2 7:6)

During any of that time, when showing the way to the benefits of the relationship, that (ba kol ‘asher) I traveled (halak) with all of the Children of Yisra’el (ba kol beny Yisra’el), did I say a single word (ha dabar dabar) to one (‘eth ‘echad) of the leaders of the tribes of Yisra’el (shebet Yisra’el), whom I instructed (‘asher tsawah) to shepherd (la ra’ah) My people (‘eth ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (Yisra’el), to say (la ‘amar), “So why not (la mah lo’) build for Me a house of cedar (banah la ‘any beyth ‘erez)?” (Shamuw’el 2 7:7)

Now, therefore (wa ‘atah), this is what you should say (koh ‘amar) to My associate, Dowd (la ‘ebed ‘any la Dowd), as a result (koh) Yahowah of the spiritual implements (Yahowah tsaba’) says (‘amar), “I took you (‘any laqach ‘atah) from the sheepfolds (min ha neweh), from chasing after lambs (min ‘achar ha tso’n), to be the conspicuous and informative leader (la hayah nagyd) 436among My People (‘al ‘am ‘any), over Yisra’el (‘al Yisra’el). (Shamuw’el 2 7:8)

I have been with you (wa hayah ‘im ‘atah) throughout it all (ba kol) revealing the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) as you journeyed through life (halak). I have cut off (wa karat), accordingly, all of your enemies (‘eth kol ‘oyeb ‘atah) from your presence (min paneh ‘atah). And I have engaged on your behalf to make for you (wa ‘asah la ‘atah) an exceptionally important name, the greatest designation, and the most distinguished reputation (shem ha gadowl), when compared to the most glorified designations (ka shem ha gadowl) pursuant to the relationship (‘asher) on the Earth (ba ha ‘erets). (Shamuw’el 2 7:9)

Furthermore (wa), I will appoint and establish (sym) a dwelling place (maqowm) for My People (la ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (la Yisra’el). I will plant them (wa nata’ huw’) such that they may abide (wa shakan) below throughout a less chaotic time than this (tachath huw’) and no longer be agitated, anguished, or terrorized (ragaz ‘owd). They will not continue to be (wa lo’ yasaph) afflicted or degraded, disparaged or denigrated (‘anah), by unjust and harmful sons, perverted and violent descendants of evil (beny ‘awlah), as will have formerly been the case (ka ‘asher ba ha ri’shown). (Shamuw’el 2 7:10)

From the day (wa la min ha yowm) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), I appointed and instructed (tsawah) Judges (shaphat) on behalf of My people (‘al ‘am ‘any), Yisra’el (Yisra’el), I will provide a respite (wa nuwach la ‘atah) from all of your enemies (min kol ‘oyeb ‘atah). In addition (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) is boldly and publicly announcing to you (nagad la ‘atah) that, indeed (ky), He will act, engaging with you to create the family and home of Yahowah (beyth ‘asah la ‘atah Yahowah). (Shamuw’el 2 7:11)

437Surely (ky), your time will be thoroughly proclaimed and completely fulfilled (male’ yowmym ‘atah). When you will have laid down your life (wa shakab) in association with your ancestors (‘eth ‘ab ‘atah), I will rise up and take a stand to bring to fruition (quwm) with your offspring what you have sown (‘eth zera’ ‘atah), something more in the end without hesitation for you (‘achar ‘atah). For the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), it will be extracted and withdrawn (yatsa’) out of a small particle of your physiological nature (min me’eh).’”

After foreshadowing the 89^th Mizmowr by speaking to His Son, Yahowah transitions to speaking to us about him…

“‘And so (wa), I will establish (kuwn) his reign over his kingdom (‘eth mamlakah huw’). (Shamuw’el 2 7:12) He, himself, shall restore and rebuild (huw’ banah) the family home (beyth) for (la) My name (shem ‘any). And (wa) I will prepare and establish (kuwn) the throne (‘eth kise’) of his kingdom (mamlakah huw’) forevermore as a continuing witness (‘ad ‘owlam). (Shamuw’el 2 7:13)

I was, I am, and I always will be (‘any hayah) for him (la huw’) as a Father (la ‘ab), and (wa) he was, is, and always will be (huw’ hayah) for Me as (la ‘any) a son (la ben).

So when that which is associated with him is warped and perverted, twisted such that it is contrary to what has been stated (‘asher ba ‘awah huw’), I will resolve the dispute against him, vindicating him, deciding with him to expose and issue a condemnation (wa yakah huw’) against the weapons and staves wielded by rulers of the nations (ba shebet) of men (‘ishym) and against (wa ba) the fungus and plague that has fallen (nega’) upon the descendants (ben) of ‘Adam (‘adam).’” (Shamuw’el 2 7:14)

438And herein is a perfect explanation of the religious crusade to transfer the promises made to the Messiah to create a Christ. God was not a fan…

“‘Therefore (wa), My steadfast devotion, enduring love, commitment to the relationship, and unmitigated favor (chesed ‘any) will not be removed from him, be disassociated or diminished regarding him, nor replaced, substituting another for him (lo’ suwr min huw’) as was the case when (ka ‘asher) I turned away from and completely rejected (suwr min) associating with (‘im) Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl) whom, to show the proper way (‘asher), I removed (suwr) from your presence (min la paneh ‘atah).’” (Shamuw’el 2 7:15)

Speaking directly to Dowd again, God concludes…

“‘And so (wa), your family (beyth ‘atah) and (wa) your position of authority, your kingdom and reign (malakah ‘atah), are assured, as it is trustworthy and dependable, firmly established, credible, and enduring (‘aman) forever as a continuing witness (‘ad ‘owlam) in My presence (la paneh ‘atah). Your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) will be (hayah) established and sustained (kuwn) forevermore as restoring testimony (‘ad ‘owlam).’ (Shamuw’el 2 7:16)

Consistent with all of these words (ka kol ha dabarym ha ‘eleh) and in accord with (wa ka) the entire revelation (kol ha chizyown ha zeh), in this manner, Nathan accurately conveyed this (ken dabar Nathan) to Dowd (‘el Dowd).” (Shamuw’el / Listen to Him / 2 Samuel 7:17)

This prophecy is about houses, who builds them and who lives in them. It is about Dowd, who had a home, not “Jesus” who was homeless throughout the myths scribed about him. It is all about what God is going to do for, with, and through His beloved Son. It is also about seeds and thrones, who sows them and who sits upon them.

439And when it comes to such things, Yahowah is beside Himself, annoyed to the point that He has made His point in such a vivid way there shouldn’t have been a single church, mosque, temple, or shrine called a house of God, and yet, men have erected millions of them.

Just as God has never once asked us to worship Him, bow down before Him, or pray to Him, He does not want us to build houses for Him. The fact is, Yahowah is in the construction business, and His primary expertise is in building the most extraordinary home in the universe for His Covenant Family.

Having returned to the prophecy where my journey began some 22 years ago, with “‘asher – associated with” in 2 Shamuw’el 7:14, we have found the obvious answer to whose home and throne is being established. It is unequivocally delineated here in the 89^th Mizmowr. Therefore, 2 Samuel 7 is about Dowd from beginning to end just as is the 89^th Psalm.

It is Dowd’s place of honor and kingdom which will endure forever as is affirmed throughout the prophets. Further, it is of Dowd of whom Yahowah has said, “He is My Son and I am his Father,” something the 89^th Mizmowr will soon reiterate.

It wasn’t until many years after my initial quest to understand ‘asher in 2 Samuel 7:14 that I came to realize that God was speaking of what Paul would do to pervert and misappropriate Dowd’s legacy. And in this regard, Yahowah has put us on notice that He will defend His Son.

Along these lines I’d like to reinforce something equally germane to our understanding of 2 Shamuw’el 7 and our appreciation of Mizmowr 89 – both of which celebrate the Father / Son relationship paramount to the life of the King of Yisra’el. Dowd represents more than one individual man. More perhaps than even Ya’aqob, Dowd is Yisra’el. His joys and heartaches, his ongoing battles with 440gowym, his insights and errors, the benefits he enjoyed in concert with the Covenant, and the consequences he endured when he ran afoul of it are all shared in common with the nation he shepherded.

After this brief intermission, one instructed by the text of the Mizmowr, we return to the voice of the psalmist. This portion of the song was written to counter the absurd notion that the gods of men, such as Adony, the Lord, HaShem, Allah, and Jesus are somehow analogous with and comparable to, Yahowah. Mankind’s gods were modeled after the men who spoke for them. They were afforded characteristics which were sufficiently fearsome to command obedience by blending a plethora of seemingly plausible yet irrational notions.

“The spiritual realm (shamaym – the heavens and abode of God) knows and appreciates (yadah – are aware and understand and thus extol, properly attributing and expressing gratitude; from yada’ – to know, recognize, and acknowledge (hifil imperfect)) Your wonderful and marvelous contributions (pale’ ‘atah – Your amazing accomplishments and outstanding achievements, even miraculous fulfillments), Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration) and, also (‘aph – in addition to), Your trustworthiness (‘emuwnah ‘atah – Your honesty and dependability, Your steadfast commitment to the truth; from ‘emuwn – the enduring truth and ‘aman – to support, confirm, and uphold that which is trustworthy and reliable, verifiable and confirming that which is correct and accurate) in the community (ba qahal – within the gathering and assembly) of the Set Apart (qodesh – the separated and dedicated with essential Divine qualities and status). (Mizmowr / Psalm 89:5)

By contrast (ky – truthfully), who (my) in the skies of the material realm (ba ha shachaq – among the stars in 441the heavens) can be equated (‘arak – can be put in the same position or compared) to (la) Yahowah (Yahowah)? Who is similar to or thinks like (damah – who resembles and communicates like) Yahowah (Yahowah) among the sons of gods (ba ben ‘el – in those conceived by gods)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:6)

It’s a riddle with a ridiculously easy answer. The one who is equated with Yahowah, the one who thinks like Yahowah, especially among the children of God, is Dowd. He is the man after Yah’s heart. The affirmation appears in Shamuw’el / Listen to Him / 1 Samuel 13:14, a passage we will consider later on in these chapters as we seek to refute the ill effects of Christianity.

And while that is true, this proclamation was designed to set up a comparison between the wonderful accomplishments of Yahowah which are acknowledged in Heaven contrasted with the meaningless myths attributed to the sons of gods conceived within the material realm – Dionysus and Jesus being among the imposters. The words men have attributed to them pale in comparison to the majesty of Yahowah’s message.

If asked to uphold the single most important aspect of Yahowah’s character and His greatest contribution to humankind, I’d say “trustworthiness.” Without it, nothing else matters. Proving it is the purpose of the Naby’, as they validate the credibility of Yah’s inspiration. Enabling it is the purpose of the Towrah because, without guidance, there can be no trust. And with it, contradictory “scriptures” and false gods are rendered moot.

Yahowah’s contributions are many. He created an enormously large, complex, and yet functional, six-dimensional universe. He conceived life, writing a three-dimensional language to propagate countless possibilities. He gave us freewill and a conscience to wield it. He designed us so that we’d be able to understand Him and 442respond. Then He not only gave us His Towrah and Prophets, but He and His Son also fulfilled every promise.

We aren’t explicitly told, but I think the “community of the Set Apart” represents the Covenant Family. The Covenant is not only qodesh | set apart, but our Heavenly Father’s children are the principal beneficiaries of His steadfast commitment to the truth.

Among the most ignorant and irrational notions popularized by man is that “we all worship the same god.” The actual God begs to differ. Religious gods are fundamentally different from one another, and so are their scriptures and names, making this religiously unifying belief ludicrous. What’s more, the traits common among false gods are universally foreign to Yahowah. Said another way: aligning our thinking with Yahowah necessitates a willingness to reject all religious presumptions.

“God (‘el – the Almighty) is inspiring and awesome (‘arats – He is a well-regarded and awe-inspiring, exceedingly productive and accomplished) in the council (ba sowd – within the intimate fellowship where there is a foundation of trust, discretion, a conclave of proper instruction and mutual reliance) of the Set-Apart Ones (qadowshym – of those who are separated and exalted), tremendously great while inspiring reverence and respect (rab wa yare’) beyond all those around Him (‘al kol sabyb – above everyone surrounding Him).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:7)

To know Yahowah is to respect Him. To understand Yahowah is to revere Him.

“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching), God (‘elohym) of the vast array of spiritual implements (tsaba’ – of the heavenly messengers), who and what (my – encouraging the listener to ponder and 443evaluate if anything) is comparable to Your (kamow ‘atah – can be considered similar to Your) awesome power and extraordinary gifts (chasyn – strength, value, and treasure, addressing God’s capability and what He has to offer; from chasan – to be treasured and to offer value) which are all around You (sabyb ‘atah – round about You), Yahowah (Yahowah), including (wa – in addition to) Your unwavering commitment to the truth (‘emuwnah ‘atah – Your honesty and dependability, Your reliability and trustworthiness; from ‘emuwn – the enduring truth and ‘aman – to support, confirm, and uphold that which is trustworthy and reliable, verifiable and confirming that which is correct and accurate)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:8)

It’s a rhetorical question, and yet, as few as one in a million know the simple answer. Most don’t even know where to look to find it.

This is now the fourth time we have seen “‘emuwnah – trustworthiness” used to either describe Yahowah or to affirm that it is among His gifts to us. It appears in Psalm 89:1, 89:2, 89:5, and now here in 89:8. Not surprisingly, we will encounter ‘emuwnah four more times, in Mizmowr 89:14, 89:24, 89:33, and finally in 89:49, bringing the total to eight – the number equated to that which is infinite and eternal. Dowd’s life and lyrics provide the antidote for Pauline Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism – trust is the remedy for faith. Those who know, rely. Those who don’t, believe. Trust is empowering, enlightening, enriching, and liberating while faith devalues, bewilders, depreciates, and ensnares.

Having now established the proper vantage point to appreciate Yahowah, the Psalmist specifically targets a pervasive and improper approach, one whose destructive nature arises from the sea – a metaphor for Gowym | Gentiles.

444“You have conveyed vivid parables (‘atah mashal – You have created easily remembered proverbs, which are word pictures, in regard to establishing one ruler) over the raging devastation and presumptive arrogance (ba ge’uwth – the undue and unwarranted status and moral failures along with the violent agitation associated with the surging) of the sea (ha yam – of the West, serving as a metaphor for gowym, both nations and people).

When its turbulent and surging waves rise up in deceit (ba nasa’ / nasha’ gal huw’ – when its stormy conditions and strong currents which are contaminated with biological excrement and defiling human dung are roused using clever trickery to craft delusions), You expose them and stop them (‘atah shabach hem – You assert what is factually accurate about them, stilling them).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:9)

The most popular belief systems among Gentiles are Roman Catholicism, Orthodox and Protestant Christianity, Sunni and Shia Islam, Progressive Socialist Humanism, and Hinduism. From God’s perspective, they are not only presumptive, holding unwarranted status, and deceitful, they are predicted to become ever more turbulent. They will collectively rise up and seek to erode Israel based upon the strong undercurrents which have contaminated people’s thinking, deceiving them. For example, the majority have been led to believe there is a place called “Palestine” and that oppressive Jews are occupying land which belongs to “Palestinians.” We have endeavored to expose this myth, but only Yah can stop these miserable parasites.

Now that the stage has been set, the cast must be introduced before the battle begins. And in this drama, there is a villain and a hero…

“You humbled and crushed (‘atah daka’ – You rejected and defeated the oppressor, shattering while 445making contrite the slander of) that which is comparable to the reprehensible and deadly nature of (ka ha chalal – the profane and popular associations which as a result of one person pressing his agenda are overwhelming and fatal; from chalah – to defile) the pretentious pride and stormy arrogance of the boisterous afflicter and his false god (rahab – the haughtiness and frenzied activity of the insolent and audacious one who presses his contentious and opposing plea, the defiant and confused musings associated with emboldened verbal calls for religious worship and submission, along with the senseless behavior and insubordinate taunts of the self-willed one who falsely claims Divine authorization in concert with the monstrous sea and idolatry) with Your empowered and fortified (ba ‘oz ‘atah – by way of Your mentally acute, physically strong, and psychologically prepared) Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’ – Productive Shepherd and Strong Arm who prevails because he is effective, fully resolved with the overall ability to accomplish the mission, the remarkably important and impactful individual of action who, as a leader and fighter is engaged as a shepherd among his sheep, who is fruitful in his ways, especially when sowing the seeds of truth while denoting and advancing the purpose of the arm of God, of His shepherd and sacrificial lamb).

You isolate and separate (pazar – You disperse in divergent directions) Your adversaries (‘oyeb ‘atah – those who are opposed and hostile toward You, demonstrating animosity, enmity, and rancor with regard to You).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:10)

Since Yahowah isn’t pretentious, when arrogant men cop an attitude, God finds it annoying. As a result, He is going to crush the conceited, shattering those who seek to defeat His people.

446Chalah | reprehensible and deadly and rahab | insolent and arrogant pleas are both singular and, thus, focused on one person, nation, or religion. And yet, since chalal addresses that which is profane and thus common, and ka implies a broad association, this individual or institution has had a defiling and fatal influence over millions if not billions. Their contentious pleas, reprehensible agendas, and deadly consequences became universal. Moreover, since God’s concern is always for His people, any man, country, or faith which sickens those influenced by him or it will be destroyed for having sought to harm Yisra’el.

We have a number of options regarding rahab in that Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad all qualify – as does Hadrian. They were presumptuous and pretentious, easily enraged and undisciplined. All four were annoyingly boisterous in their audacious promotion of false gods. Their confused musings and contentious pleas have led to senseless claims and behavior the world over. Their effect on those who foolishly believed them has been devastating and deadly. Each has inspired frenzied and senseless behavior, as well as an undeserved sense of superiority. All four promoted false gods, religious worship, and submission.

However, since Paul, Akiba, Muhammad, and Hadrian are “chalah – dead,” it is their reprehensible, confused, and fatal religious legacy that Yahowah is going to crush. The leadership and devotees of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and in particular, Roman Catholicism have been forewarned.

There are two principal and one supportive Zarowa’ – Moseh, Dowd, and Yada – the mightiest of whom is Dowd. He is the one being deployed to crush Yisra’el’s foremost adversaries: the aforementioned religions. This remarkable title is based upon “zera’ – to sow seeds.” As we have learned, these seeds can be sown to disseminate the truth and produce nurturing results, including an ample harvest. In addition, zera’ speaks of offspring and conceiving a 447family. In this way, Zarowa’ conveys the fruit of the Towrah, the Mizmowr, and the Miqra’ey, and thus of Moseh and Dowd.

I was not being presumptuous in saying that of the three candidates for returning hero, Dowd was the best fit because Yahowah’s Zarowa’ is “‘oz – an empowered and fortified, mentally acute, physically strong, and psychologically prepared” Shepherd. He was also ready, willing, and able to serve as the Sacrificial Lamb. And in this way, Dowd is like none other. He is the ultimate hero and the Savior of his people.

The reference to “pazar ‘oyeb – isolating and separating adversaries” could mean that God is going to divide and conquer, separating Muslims from Christians and both from Secular Humanists. It could also indicate that He is simply going to isolate every party and creed, dispersing them from His presence.

What follows seems to suggest that Yahowah is justified in crushing His adversaries because the world is not only His, He must do as He has promised to protect His children. If He did not do so, He would cease to be loving.

“The spiritual realm of the Heavens (shamaym – the abode of God in the 7^th dimension) is Yours (la ‘atah – are for You and to approach You). The material realm (‘erets – the land), the world (tebel – the Earth), and all that is in it (wa malo’ hy’ – as well as the multitude of things that fill this space), is also Yours (‘aph la ‘atah – additionally exists on Your behalf, and on our behalf, enabling us to approach You).

You laid the foundation for them and created them (‘atah yasad hem – You established and constituted them). (Mizmowr 89:11) The north (tsaphown – the place where treasure is taken and hidden) and (wa) the south (yamyn – the right side) You have created them (‘atah bara’ hem – You conceived them and brought them into existence).

448Tabowr | the Broken (tabowr – the shattered, crippled, and crushed, a high hill in Lower Galilee, location of the battle Deborah and Barak waged against the Canaanites, the presumed location of the Mount of Transfiguration, and the location where, in 55 CE, 10,000 Yahuwdym were slaughtered by the Romans, and then countless more in 66 CE by Emperor Vespasian; later Muslims and Crusaders fought there; from tabar and shabar – to be broken down and violently maimed) and (wa) Chermown | the Banned and Exterminated (Chermown – the accursed, mutilated, and destroyed, a mountain in the Golan along the Yisra’el, Syrian, and Lebanese border, the site of intense battles in the Six-Day War (1967) and Yom Kippur War (1973) against Muslims, now serves as an Israeli observation post to monitor the Syrian and Lebanese jihadists (this word was incorporated into Arabic and used to denigrate, ban, and curse Jews); from charam – to prohibit and utterly destroy, dedicating to extermination) shout for joy (ranan – loudly, happily, melodiously, and publicly call out) in Your name (ba shem ‘atah – with Your proper designation).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:12)

This distinction is vitally important, and yet, it is missed by religious adherents. Yes, a day will come when Yahowah and His Zarowa’ will use their words mashal | demonstrably and vividly to rule over the ge’uwth | devastating arrogance of the yam, which serves as a metaphor for anti-Semitic Gentiles. Father and Son will shabach | expose and stop nasa’ gal | those who have arisen by crafting deceitful delusions pertaining to them. On that day, Yahowah and Dowd will daka’ | reject and defeat the chalal | reprehensible and deadly nature of rahab | the pretentious afflicter and his false god, bringing the Zarowa’ | Strong Arm of God down upon them to pazaz | isolate Father’s and Son’s ‘oyeb | foes. And they will have every right to do so because it is their world – all of it. As 449the Creator, Yahowah is in an entirely different position than the rest of us.

We are not called to rise up and slaughter our oppressors as Akiba’s followers attempted to carry out against Rome with such horrid results. We are not called to be terrorists as Muhammad insists, nor crusaders as popes have pleaded. Unless it is in self-defense, as was the case with Dowd protecting Yahowah’s Family, we should limit our attacks to courageously wielding God’s words. He will take care of the rest.

Ridding the world of the influence of religion is not only God’s responsibility, but He is also the only one who is justified in, and capable of, doing so. We did not create this world or conceive the life within it, and thus, souls are not ours to take. Moreover, God provided humankind with unequivocal instructions regarding behaviors He abhors along with the consequence of pursuing them.

Religions are deadly because the faithful do not listen to God. Their conquests and inquisitions, as well as their intent to subjugate others, are entirely of human design.

There are two reasons for mentioning Tabowr and Chermown. First, these names are based on words revealing that there will be a turn of fortune for Yisra’el. God’s people have been broken and banned by Gentiles for 2,700 years, but their oppression is about to end. Second, the places where the Chosen People were shattered and exterminated by the Romans and then Muslims will become the sites of great victories. So, this is prophetic of battles to be waged and won.

For those who have suffered, salvation will be especially sweet. Laments will become laughter. Pain and sorrow will turn to joy. And it is the Zarowa’ who will be working alongside Yahowah during this marvelous transformation to make the world a better place.

450“Beside You, and on Your behalf (la ‘atah – to approach You and concerning You, by Your side), the Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’ – the Productive Ram who shepherds the flock, the Strong Arm who prevails because he is effective and capable, fully resolved with the overall ability to accomplish the mission, the remarkably important and impactful individual of action who, as a leader and fighter is engaged as a shepherd among his sheep, who is fruitful in his ways, especially when sowing the seeds of truth while denoting and advancing the purpose of the arm of God, of His shepherd and sacrificial lamb) with tremendous power, courage, character, and awesome ability (‘im gabuwrah – with the will to fight and the capacity to perform, who accomplishes what needs to be done, becoming victorious; from feminine of gibowr – a mighty warrior, valiant soldier, and capable defender, a courageous hero worth noting) will be Your strong hand (‘azaz yad ‘atah – is the means You will use to confidently prevail, applying the force required to firmly establish and boldly overpower) raised up high (ruwm – lifted up as an extension from the source) at Your right side (yamyn ‘atah – as Your right hand for having chosen to be right).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:13)

With these words, Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb soars to become Dowd’s most distinguished title. His nepesh | soul manifests gabuwrah | character and courage, awesome ability and tremendous power. He is God’s ‘Azaz Yad | Strong Hand, ruwm | raised up to serve at Yahowah’s Yamyn | Right Side. So methinks that Dowd is central to God’s plans.

Thus far, Dowd’s name has appeared once in the 89^th Mizmowr while Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb has been used twice to describe God’s Beloved. Once each, Dowd has been called the Bachar | Chosen One, God’s ‘Ebed | Coworker, an ‘Ad ‘Owlam | Eternal Witness, a Mashal | an 451Articulate Leader, the Yamyn | Right Hand, and ‘Azaz Yad | Strong Hand of Yahowah. Therefore, do you suppose that the repetition of Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb, by being the only accolade and title presented a second time, suggests that it is the Mashyach’s and Melek’s most revealing and important depiction?

Before we review where we have been to answer that question, let’s be perfectly clear – all of these things are being said of Dowd personally, including the realization that God has built a home for his throne. These titles and accolades, indeed, job descriptions and mission statements, do not apply to one of Dowd | David’s descendants as Judaism and Christianity insist, but to the Messiah and King himself. This admission alone is sufficient to take all of the air out of both religions.

But there is so much more. In the 2^nd Mizmowr, we learned that there was a religious conspiracy afoot to misappropriate the status and authority of Yahowah and His Mashyach | Anointed Messiah – Dowd. In the same Psalm, God announced Ben ‘Any ‘Atah | You Are My Son.

In the 7^th Mizmowr, Yahowah stated that Dowd was His appointed Shaphat | Judge through whom He would vindicate and condemn.

We read in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 40:10 that God would be returning with His Chazaq | Empowered Leader and Impassioned Defender. He said that His Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb would be speaking for Him. And in the next statement, we were told that Dowd would be the Ra’ah | Shepherd tending the Almighty’s flock. Then at the conclusion of Yasha’yah 40:11 we learned that Dowd would be gathering God’s lambs ba zarowa’ huw’ | in his strong and capable arms, serving the flock both as the protective ram and sacrificial lamb.

452In Solomon’s dedication speech to all Yisra’el as recorded in 2 Chronicles 6, the King’s son revealed that the Nakry would speak of his father’s role as the Yad | Hand of God. He would reveal that Dowd is God’s Chazaq | Most Powerful and Passionate Leader and His Zarowa’.

When we turned to 2^nd Samuel 7, we were reminded that Dowd | David is Yahowah’s ‘Ebed | Coworker. Upon his return, he would be God’s Nagyd | Most Conspicuous and Informed Guide. God said that He would make Dowd’s shem | name and reputation ha gadowl | the greatest of all – the most glorified on Earth. In addition, Yahowah announced that He would beyth ‘asah | engage with the Covenant Family through Dowd.

As we progress to 2 Samuel 7:12, God categorically states that He would establish Dowd’s reign over his kingdom while reestablishing the Family Home, inclusive of his throne, forevermore. Then Yahowah revealed, “‘any hayah la huw’ la ‘ab we huw’ hayah la ‘any la ben | I was, am, and always will be for him as a Father, and he was, is, and always will be for Me as a son. Mindful that we learn from repetition, Yahowah affirmed that Dowd’s beyth | family and malakah | kingdom would ‘aman | be established and endure ‘ad ‘owlam | as a restoring witness forevermore.

When we turned to the 103^rd Mizmowr, we discovered that Yahowah’s barak | blessings would be provided through Dowd’s nepesh | soul. He would be the Ga’al | Kinsman Redeemer who paid the price for us to live. Then in the 19^th statement, we found another affirmation that Dowd’s kise’ | throne and his malkuwth | kingdom would serve as a mashal | vivid picture of what we should expect to see in all things the Father and Son do for us. Further into the text, Psalm 103:20 explains that Dowd is Yahowah’s Gibowr | Most Courageous and Capable Man.

453Moving on to the 20^th Mizmowr, we find that Dowd will be dispatched as God’s principal ‘Ezer | Collaborator to assist those struggling during the Day of Trouble. Moving through the 6^th verse of this same Psalm, we read that Yahowah intends to yasha’ | provide salvation through His Mashyach | Messiah. This bold declaration concludes by saying that God intends to respond from Heaven through the Gibowrah | Feminine Characteristic (i.e., nepesh | soul) of the Most Courageous and Capable Leader, His Yamyn | Right Hand, through whom He will Yasha’ | Save. Then, for those of us who require a little reminding, once again we read that the Melek | King is the one offering yasha’ | liberation and salvation.

Addressing Dowd | the Beloved by name, the Melek | King is called the Tsemach | Branch in Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 23:5. This presentation concludes by reminding us that Yahowah Tsadaq ‘Anachnuw | Yahowah is our Source of Vindication because He is Right.

Those are the facts, and they are consistent and compelling. Dowd is the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb, the Mashyach | Messiah, the Ben ‘El | Son of God, and our Yasha’ | Savior.

“Being correct and vindicating (tsedeq – being right, honest, and fair, being accurate, just, and acquitting) regarding executing good judgment and justly resolving disputes (wa mishpat – along with adroitly pondering all of the questions required to make rational and moral decisions; a compound of ma – to question and thus ponder and consider and shaphat – to decide, to be discriminating, and to be just, executing good judgment) serve as the foundation (makown – are the basis and home, the very essence of the upright nature) of y/Your throne (kise’ ‘atah – of y/Your authority and position of honor).

454A loving relationship and genuine mercy (chesed – loyalty and devotion, enduring favoritism and affection, generosity and kindness, and especially the benefits and sense of community germane to the covenant), along with a steadfast commitment to the truth (wa ‘emuwnah – trustworthiness and honesty, being reliable and dependable; from ‘emuwn – the enduring truth and ‘aman – to support, confirm, and uphold that which is trustworthy and reliable, verifiable and confirming that which is correct and accurate), encounter those who enter y/Your presence (qadam paneh ‘atah – embrace those who come to meet y/You, and can be anticipated because they are front and center with y/You and naturally occur in y/Your presence).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:14)

Since Yahowah has pronounced that Dowd was “tsedeq – right,” noted his “mishpat – ability to exercise good judgment,” and transitioned to Dowd in 89:13, referring to him as His Zarowa’ and ‘Azaz Yad, it is possible that the psalmist is saying that the “makown – foundation” of Dowd’s “kise’ – position of honor” is “genuine love, loyalty, and devotion along with a steadfast commitment to the truth.” And while all of this would also apply to Yahowah, as Father and Son, “Your” throne and presence could become lowercase and apply to Yisra’el’s king. If so, it would describe what we should anticipate when we witness his appearance and meet with him. Or even more appropriately, the intent may have been to say that we can learn to be correct about Yahowah when we exercise good judgment with regard to the reason Dowd has been afforded this position and authority.

The “chesed – loving relationship” Dowd developed with God as a result of the “chesed – genuine mercy” he experienced from his Father were both predicated upon his lifelong pursuit of “‘emuwnah – the truth.” Following his example, we can count on the fact that Yahowah’s mercy comes to those who trust and rely upon that which is 455correct. Being right is what perfects the imperfect – not faith. In this way, as the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb, Dowd is the purveyor of salvation.

Yahowah made it possible for Dowd to serve as the Pesach ‘Ayil and then fulfill Matsah en route to Bikuwrym in year 4000 Yah, facilitating the benefits of the Covenant. He would enable Yisra’elites to immortalize and perfect their souls, enriching and empowering Covenant Members in the process. And because he has done this, we are committed to cultivating the Shabuw’ah | Sevens and Taruw’ah | Trumpets Harvests, the fourth and fifth Miqra’ | Invitation to be Called Out and Meet while serving as Heralds to his Kipurym return.

“Delighted to show the way because blessed (‘ashry – happy to reveal the proper path to the relationship and treated favorably; from ‘asher – enjoying the benefits of the relationship by having been shown the steps to walk to get the most out of life and ‘any – me) are the people (ha ‘am – are the family members) who are aware of and acknowledge (yada’ – who are familiar and acquainted with, who learn about and make known, who comprehend and understand) Taruw’ah (Taruw’ah – Trumpets, the 5^th of 7 Miqra’ey, time to expose corruptions while sharing the truth, crying out an alarm and shouting for joy, blowing the showphar to announce the upcoming harvest of souls and Dowd’s return), who walk (halak – who choose as a way of living to continually travel about, exploring and moving (piel imperfect paragogic – by continually choosing to walk with Him, Yahowah becomes engaged and active with that individual)) with the light into Your presence (ba ‘owr paneh ‘atah – along with and within this enlightenment into Your shining brilliance, appearance, and face), Yahowah (Yahowah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:15)

This is who we are. It is what we do. It is what we know. And the more we learn as Taruw’ah’s Troubadours, 456the more we realize that we are not only following in Dowd’s footsteps as he fulfilled the first three Mow’edym, but we also are cultivating the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Harvests while announcing his return on Kipurym.

And this is what we experience, especially when we are enlightened by Dowd’s Mizmowr, many of which serve as the ultimate expression of Taruw’ah. This is what we learn from the lyrics and life of Yahowah’s Chosen. It is through the lens of Taruw’ah that we come to appreciate the balance shown in his writings between blasting lies and trumpeting the truth, both of which are needed when the mission is to lead Yahuwdym out of Babylon and into Yahowah’s presence.

Over the course of the past twenty-two years, there have been many goose-bump moments, times in which we have found ourselves reveling in what we have learned. This is one of them. It affirms we are delighted to reveal the proper path which leads to the Covenant. We thrive on the realization that Taruw’ah precedes Reconciliations. We understand the value of “yada – knowing” what it is like to “halak – walk” “ba ‘owr paneh – with the light into the presence” of Yahowah.

Everything we have written and spoken these past 22 years is an expression of Taruw’ah, as we have striven to celebrate its purpose. We have sought to shout out a warning, boldly, bluntly, clearly, and loudly telling all who would listen that their religious and political affiliations put them at odds with God. At the same time, we have, as accurately and completely as we are able, shared what Yahowah has had to say about Himself, explaining what He is offering and expects in return. This is the essence of Taruw’ah – the very reason we are asked to celebrate it on the first day of the seventh month each year.

And yet, there is much more to Trumpets. During its fulfillment, beginning at sunset on September 23^rd, 2033, 457as the third Zarowa’, I will cultivate a Gleaning of Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym. At the same time, I will ensure the protection of a mortal remnant deliberately left behind. The following morning, while serving as the ‘Adamah Parah | Red Heifer, my sacrifice will cleanse and prepare the remaining Yisra’elites for Yahowah’s return. This fascinating turn of events is detailed in the Qatsyr ~ Harvests volume of Yada Yahowah.

Also relevant, let us not lose sight of the fact that it was because of ‘asher in 2 Shamuw’el 7 that we came to yada’ | know all of this. It is the halak | path we walked with the ‘owr | light we were given into the very presence of Yahowah, our God. Mizmowr / Psalm 89:15 has transitioned from comparing Yahowah to Dowd to celebrating our calling and purpose. One thing has led to another.

Since Yahowah has heightened our awareness of Taruw’ah, and since we have come to appreciate what it represents and our role in it, I’d like to affirm its timing. If you recall, toward the conclusion of Volume Two of Observations, we came to realize that Shabuw’ah would be fulfilled at the time Israel is thinned at the waist in an ill-fated attempt to trade land for peace, which will ignite the Time Ya’aqob’s Troubles. This means that it will occur on the Shabat of Shabuw’ah | Seven Shabats on May 22^nd, 2026, which is seven years prior to Yahowah’s return with Dowd. Then, at the midpoint of the Time of Israel’s Strife, on the first of ‘Abyb, April 4^th, 2030, the two Witnesses will arrive and begin their tenure proclaiming the Messiah’s return from the Temple Mount. This verbal confrontation with the political and religious elite will last 3½ years, concluding at sunset during the evening of Taruw’ah, September 23^rd, 2033. At this moment, those who have accepted the conditions of the Beryth and who have capitalized upon the Miqra’ey among Yahuwdym and 458Yisra’elites will be Laqat | Gleaned, creating a river of light from Earth to Heaven.

And that is when things get particularly interesting because, according to Yahowah, and as foretold through Yasha’yah, Zakaryah, Yow’el, and Mal’aky, the final Zarowa’, after cultivating this Ingathering, will protect the mortal remnant of God’s People who are left behind. Then as the Miqra’ and Shabat of Yowm Taruw’ah continue, and the sun rises the morning of September 24^th, to the backdrop of a solar eclipse, the Zarowa’ will ask his mal’akym protectors to stand down so that Satan can bludgeon him to death as the ‘Adamah Parah | Red Heifer. God’s stated purpose will be to cleanse His city and His people in advance of His arrival and prepare them for the ensuing Family Reunion, now just ten days away. This grand spectacle will be orchestrated by ‘ElYah as he reenacts much of what he did two millennia 888 years previously, this time following the precise instructions laid out in Numbers 19. This final solution to the Jewish problem as it relates to their antagonistic relationship with Yahowah is thoughtfully and thoroughly presented in the Qatsyr ~ Harvests volume of Yada Yahowah.

Interestingly enough, we are afforded another clue relative to its timing in Mizmowr 90. This Song was composed by Moseh and speaks of “Yahowah being the dwelling place” for His People “for all generations.” In it, he quotes God saying, “Return and come back children of men.” This is followed by: “Indeed, our days have the appearance of Your frustration. We spend our time muttering. (Mizmowr 90:9) The days of our years are seventy and then by reason of strength become eighty, for it is soon passed and we fly away. (Mizmowr 90:10) Who knows the extent of Your frustration and respects Your passion? (Mizmowr 90:11) So teach us to number and weigh our days so that we may derive wisdom by executing good judgment. (Mizmowr 90:12) 459Return, Yahowah, and let us breathe in relief.” (Mizmowr / Psalm 90:13)

Coming Home, which seeks to call Yisra’el and Yahuwdah out of Babylon and back home to Yahowah, Dowd, Yaruwshalaim, and Yisra’el, began by pronouncing The Third Coming exactly seventy years after the nation of Israel was restored, making it possible. This was followed by How Will You Respond, Being Right, To Dowd or Not to Dowd, and then Respecting Yahowah’s Name.

Whether or not I am accepted as the Choter | Sucker from the Original Root and the Nakry | Observant Foreigner, and whether or not these words are seen comprising the Nes | Banner Yahowah has promised to raise for His People, even if it is believed that Yahowah will awaken some other gowy such that this same message will be proclaimed by him, the events presented within Yada Yahowah will materialize as foretold. And I will continue to serve between now and May 2026 and then again between April 2030 and September 2033 – eighty-five years after Israel’s rebirth. I will be at Yisra’el’s side throughout the worst of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. We know these things because we were told as much in Mizmowr 90 and throughout Yasha’yah.

For those who may be interested in the events of 2026, the new year will begin on Thursday, March 19^th, at sunset. Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym will be observed on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday beginning at sunset on April 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd. Seven Sevens later, Seven Sevens will commence on the Shabat of May 22^nd, 2026. This Qatsyr | Harvest will be of Gowym and Yahuwdym as this day serves as the official start of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. At this point, only seven years remain until Yahowah’s arrival with His Son and our Messiah. If not for the realization the Covenant’s Children will be transformed into light and be given everything we need and want, I’d encourage God’s Family Members to pack their bags.

460Immediately thereafter, Yisra’el will struggle alone. Yahowah’s final two Witnesses – Yada and ‘ElYah – will not arrive until ‘Abyb 1, year 5997 Yah / 2030, which isn’t for another 3½ years. And while they will overtly denounce the religious and political elite while exposing and condemning Muslims and Progressives, their primary focus will be on awakening Yisra’el so that Jews come home to Yahowah.

We rejoice because there is vindication in getting Yahowah’s name right…

“In Your name (ba shem ‘atah) they rejoice (gyl – they celebrate these favorable circumstances, expressing their enthusiasm (qal imperfect paragogic)) every day (kol ha yowm – all the time). And (wa) in Your justice and vindication, by being right (ba tsadaqah ‘atah – in You being correct, fair, and just, rightfully acquitting), they are lifted on high (ruwm – they rise, going to a higher elevation).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:16)

The first step we take to knowing Yahowah is to acknowledge and proclaim His name. It is where the path begins to being right regarding who He is, what He is offering, and how we should engage with Him to avail ourselves of His blessings. We do so without hesitation or equivocation.

As he steps forward into Yahowah’s light, the Psalmist cannot resist including himself among those enveloped and adorned in Yahowah’s radiant power.

“Indeed (ky – because), the adornment (tiph’erth – the ornamentation, and beautiful appearance, comprising the splendor and Divine attributes) of their empowerment and fortification (‘oz hem) is Yours (‘atah).

By Your acceptance and approval (ba ratsown ‘atah – for Your pleasure and by You having chosen to favorably accept), our brilliantly illuminating horn (qaran 461‘anachnuw – our illumination and source of light, our appearance as light, and our trumpet) is lifted up (ruwm – is raised and elevated as an extension from the source). (Mizmowr 89:17)

For (ky) our deliverance and protection (magen ‘anachnuw – our defense and shield) are from (la – pertain to) Yahowah (Yahowah). Accordingly (wa la – so therefore), the Qadowsh | Set-Apart One (qadowsh – the one who is distinct and separate from the rest, the one who is prepared and dedicated) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el – of Individuals who Engage and Endure with God) is our Melek | King (melek ‘anachnuw – is our leader, our royal ruler, our authorized authority, and our sovereign).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:18)

Yahowah adorns His Children in a Garment of Light – enlightening, perfecting, immortalizing, and empowering apparel provided by the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit. It is how the imperfect appear perfect before Yah. It is what makes us acceptable. This Garment of Light not only delivers us safely into Yahowah’s presence, but it also protects us in the here and now and throughout all time.

Having introduced us to Taruw’ah | Trumpets moments ago, we find God approving the brilliantly illuminating horns we will raise for the occasion. The instrument, comprised of a ram’s horn, is called a Showphar. Its sound is so amazing, it reverberates within our souls.

The Qadowsh | Set-Apart One serving as the Melek | King of Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God is Dowd. Taruw’ah is focused on announcing his return as King, cultivating this day’s gleaning, and then preparing the remnant left behind for the Messiah’s impending arrival. And by affirming this, Dowd gains another two titles not previously mentioned within the 89^th Mizmowr. And while most can relate to King and will view 462it as the most acclaimed title, being Set Apart unto Yahowah is infinitely superior. Over the long history of nations, kings have been a dime a dozen, but there is only one Qadowsh | Set-Apart One acclaimed within the Prophets.

Yahowah is telling us a wonderful story, a love story…

“Therefore (‘az – meanwhile then, in relation to this, and logically), You spoke (dabar – You communicated with words, promising and declaring) in a revelation (ba chazown – prophetically in a manner such that the intelligent would perceive by visually conveying an agreement) to (la – on behalf of) Your Bacharym | Chosen and Tested Ones (bachar – the ones selected, tried, and examined, preferred and found acceptable [from 4QPs versus ‘chasydy – faithful and devoted ones’ in the Masoretic Text]), saying (‘amar – expressing and claiming [from 4QPs]), ‘I have equated and bestowed (shawah – I have likened and offered) assistance, supplying what is needed (‘ezer – help and aid, enabling) on behalf of (‘al – for and upon) the Gibowr | Most Courageous and Capable Man (gibowr – the mightiest of men, the strong and effective fighter, the valiant and brave warrior, the one who battles; from gabar – to prevail, to be powerful, mighty, and strong, to prove one’s valor, and to be a champion for a virtuous cause).

I have raised up and exalted (ruwm – I have elevated and lifted on high, taking action to empower) the Bachar | Chosen One (bachar – the one selected, tried, and tested, examined and found acceptable) from (min – out of) the people (‘am – the family).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:19)

This is the first line of the 89^th Mizmowr extant among the scrolls found in the caves above Qumran. And in the text of the 1,000-year-older Dead Sea Scroll, we find the 463plural and singular use of bachar | chosen and desired, tested and proven. As a result, based upon His previous declaration, not only was there a connection between God’s deliverance and protection on Taruw’ah and the realization that Dowd was the Qadowsh | Set-Apart One of Yisra’el and our Melek | King, it logically followed that God should make a corresponding revelation to those He had chosen and proven. And in this case, divine insight was how He assisted Dowd, aiding and abetting His Gibowr | Most Capable and Courageous Man. Moreover, the Bachar | Chosen One, the Gibowr, Melek, and Qadowsh were one and the same. Dowd is all of these things and more. Further, it was Yahowah’s decision to raise and exalt Dowd from among His people.

Since we do not find naby’ in the text, it is implied that this awesomely important insight was revealed to witnesses rather than prophets. And should this be the case, you are likely reading the result.

In an interesting twist, since Rabbinic Jews, who are anything but devoted to Yah, refer to themselves as chasyd | devoted and faithful ones, it is easy to see why they replaced bacharym with chasydy. Little did they know that they would be caught and exposed.

In contrast to the rabbinical scum, Dowd is Yahowah’s Gibowr | Most Capable and Courageous Man. He had “the strength to prevail,” however, in part because Yahowah supported him. In the center of God’s will, and at His side, Dowd was valiant, always willing to fight for what was right, willing to risk his life to defend his people. And it was this attitude that made it possible for Dowd to serve as the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb – offering the life of his basar | mortal body to save Yisra’el.

As previously stated, Dowd was mighty with pen and sword. Clearly, he was not a pacifist. He did not compromise. He was not diplomatic. He was unapologetic, 464at least toward other men. He knew right from wrong and would not tolerate any form of deception. He would be crucified in today’s world for being politically incorrect and intolerant just as he was crucified by the Romans for being incompatible with their immoral quest to abuse others.

There are a similar number of uncommon insights conveyed in this next statement. First among them, Yahowah found Dowd, not the other way around. People the world over are searching for God and yet never seem to find Him – not just because they don’t know where to look, but because they are too busy praying to listen, and too enamored with their opinions to be observant. It never fails, when I meet someone who claims to be genuinely interested in finding God, even when I have the answers they seek, they’d rather share what they believe than consider what Yahowah had to say.

And speaking of what God had to say, this is in Yahowah’s voice…

“‘I discovered and then made known (matsa’ – I located, found, revealed, exposed, encountered, and experienced, then sought to reap the benefit by inspiring) Dowd (Dowd – the Beloved; from dowd – the one who is loved and who loves in return), My ‘Ebed | Coworker (‘ebed ‘any – My authorized agent who works on My behalf; from ‘abad – to work).

Out of (min – from [1QPs4]) Shemen Qodesh ‘Any | My Set-Apart Oil (shemen qodesh ‘any – My separating, devoting, and preparing olive oil I have dedicated him to service), I have mashach | anointed him (mashach huw’ – I have applied the oil, dedicating him to My purpose; the actionable basis of and thus process of becoming the Mashyach | Messiah) (Mizmowr 89:20) so that, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher – to reveal the path to walk to get the most out of life), My hand 465(yad ‘any – My influence and ability to act) will be established and steadfast (kuwn – will be authenticated and sustained, made ready and prepared, be unwavering and persistent) with you (‘im ‘atah – in association with you [4QPs changes him to you]).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:21 in part)

By stating that He made Dowd known to us, Yahowah is taking credit for the accounts of his life and copies of his Psalms that have been made available for us to read 3,000 years after they were chronicled and composed. No other 11^th-century BCE life is as contemporaneously or voluminously documented. Therefore, we should be asking ourselves why this is so. Why did God intervene in human affairs in this way, at this time, in this place, and for this man?

We have more written about and by Dowd than we can process in a lifetime, preserved in the original language, verified and proven credible with copious prophecies, conscientiously maintained, and even extant among the Dead Sea Scrolls – parchments sealed in ceramics found less than twenty miles from where they were first composed.

By calling Dowd His ‘Ebed | Coworker, God is giving us the opportunity to understand what He values and wants to accomplish. All we have to do is examine his life and consider his lyrics.

Highlights of this search reveal that Yahowah wants us to call Him by name and then relate to Him as we would a loving Father. He wants us to listen and learn from Him, to share what we have come to know, to become part of His Family, to appreciate what He values, and to oppose what He disdains, fighting to protect His people while striving to be right. God is attracted to intellect and character, passion and reliability, to those who are not afraid to tell the truth, even when it isn’t popular.

466By referring to Dowd as “the one who works on My behalf,” Yahowah is reaffirming His predilection to accomplish what needs to be done with us and through us rather than alone. This remarkable fact reinforces His commitment to empower and enrich His children by being personally involved in our lives.

On this occasion, Yahowah is announcing that He did something remarkable for Dowd that He has not done for anyone else – “Out of My Set-Apart Oil I have anointed him.” Should this be the oil of enlightenment, longevity, healing, protection, nourishment, or preparation for service, may you and I benefit from future allocations of it. And may we capitalize upon it with all of the passion and courage Dowd manifested.

That said, the Shemen Qodesh ‘Any | My Set-Apart Anointing Oil isn’t describing the application of olive oil on Dowd – although this occurred at Yahowah’s direction. It actually speaks of Dowd being immersed in the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit when he was initially introduced by Yahowah as His Mashyach | Anointed Messiah at eight years of age. In conjunction with God explaining that His criteria for determining who He prefers differs markedly from mankind’s, Yahowah explained the process of anointing Dowd in conjunction with being immersed in the Ruwach – our Spiritual Mother – causing Dowd to be God’s Son.

There is one thing we should never do, and that is ignore what God has done, or worse, try to take it from this man and give it to another. Yahowah chose to personally anoint Dowd His Mashyach | Messiah. It was God’s decision, and we should respect it, appreciate it, accept and embrace it – capitalizing upon it by reading his 119^th Mizmowr, his magnum opus on how to properly observe Yahowah’s Towrah | Teaching.

467Beyond the fact that this decision was Yahowah’s, and without Him, we don’t even exist, He didn’t do this for Dowd’s benefit but, instead, for ours. By preparing the Messiah to serve in this way, God’s influence in our lives was established and authenticated, becoming as steadfast and unwavering as the lyrics of this and every Mizmowr. Our Heavenly Father’s instructions are collective, and to the whole of Yisra’el, in the Towrah, but in Dowd’s songs, it’s all personal. The Towrah is the map, and Dowd is the guide.

We have long since come to realize that Yahowah chose a shepherd to serve as His Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb. He would protect God’s flock while sowing the seeds of truth such that we would come to appreciate the benefit of him having done so. It is the greatest gift ever offered. Those who capitalize upon what Father and Son have accomplished live forever, are perfected, and then are adopted into God’s Covenant Family.

And so, while Dowd’s most famous title was Melek | King, and his most purloined were Mashyach | Messiah and Ben ‘El | Son of God, his most important was Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb.

“‘In addition (‘aph – even more), ‘Any Zarowa’ | My Protective Shepherd, Strong Arm, and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’ ‘any – My Productive Ram who shepherds the flock, who prevails because he is effective and strong, fully resolved with the overall ability to accomplish the mission, My remarkably important and impactful individual of action who, as a leader and fighter, is engaged to guide My sheep, who is fruitful in his ways, especially when sowing the seeds of truth while denoting and advancing the purpose of the arm of God, of His shepherd and sacrificial lamb) will empower and embolden you, strengthening you, while enabling your growth (‘amets ‘atah – will help you grow, elevating your status, reinforcing and establishing you with the determination to 468persist and be courageous [4QPs corrects him to you]).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:21)

God could not have made this any easier for us. There is no need to interpret the text, extrapolate, or speculate. The Bachar | Chosen One from among the people, the anointed Mashyach | Messiah, the Son of God, the man Yahowah raised and exalted to work with Him, the very Hand of God and His Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb, has a name: Dowd. For those willing to listen and engage, his life and lyrics will “‘amets ‘atah – help you grow, empowering and emboldening you.”

For God’s sake and yours, if you haven’t already done so, it’s well past time that we all accept and acknowledge Dowd’s special place in our lives and with God. If anyone holds the keys to Heaven, it is this man. It is his Home and his Family as well as his Father’s, and it is his throne and his kingdom which will exist therein, forevermore. He opened the door and made it possible for us to enter.

His is the greatest life ever lived and the greatest gift ever given.

It is worth mentioning that the surviving fragments of the Qumran texts supporting the 89^th Psalm are legible beginning with the 19^th verse. The differences, when compared to the Masoretic Text, therein, were numerous and significant. They are especially relevant in the previous statement, particularly in 89:21, where the opening thought is now correctly presented as two distinct sentences with the change from “with” to “from” relative to the Set-Apart Oil with which Yahowah personally anointed Dowd.

But the biggest difference is found in the concluding pronouncements of what we have just read, where the witness of the Dead Sea Scrolls changes “huw’ – him” to “‘atah – you,” revealing that Dowd was presented and anointed for our benefit. This perspective becomes particularly poignant because it means that Yahowah’s 469Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb was offered for our benefit. His sacrifice strengthens and emboldens us so that we can grow with God.

This is in opposition to the implications of the Masoretic Text which has the Zarowa’ influencing Dowd. With the Dead Sea Scroll correction, Dowd’s role as the Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb reveals that he earned the respect of the flock by making the ultimate sacrifice for them.

Having reached a crescendo a third of our way through Dowd’s Song, this would be a good time to assess how far we have come.

“A Poem of Insights to Contemplate and Comprehend by being circumspect and thoughtful (maskyl) through (la) ‘Eythan | the Constant and Eternal, Productive and Established, Profuse and Enduring (‘Eythan) ‘Ezrachy | Beloved Native-Born Strong Arm who is cherished (ha ‘Ezrachy). (Mizmowr 89: Introduction and Dedication)

I want to sing (shyr) about the eternal and everlasting love, steadfast devotion, enduring favoritism, unfailing affection, and genuine mercy, kindness, and generosity forevermore (chesed ‘owlam) of Yahowah (Yahowah), on behalf of (la) all generations throughout time, the household, family, and home (dowr wa dowr).

With my mouth (ba peh ‘any), I will make known, revealing that I am familiar with and understand, acknowledging that I have embraced (yada’) Your trustworthiness and dependability, Your honesty and reliability, and Your steadfast commitment to the truth (‘emuwnah ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:1)

Yes, indeed (ky), I say (‘amar), ‘Now and forevermore (‘owlam), the Spiritual Realm of the 470Heavens (shamaym) was established and is continually built to procreate a restored, prosperous, and productive family (banah) on love, devotion, favoritism, kindness, generosity, and mercy (chesed).

Forevermore, as an ‘Ad ‘Owlam | Eternal Witness to the Restoring Testimony (‘ad ‘owlam), I will prepare and establish (kuwn) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah). In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr).’

The spiritual realm of the Heavens (shamaym) knows and appreciates (yadah) Your wonderful accomplishments and marvelous contributions (pale’ ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah) and, also (‘aph), Your trustworthiness (‘emuwnah ‘atah) in the community (ba qahal) of the Set Apart (qodesh). (Mizmowr 89:5)

By contrast (ky), who (my) in the skies of the material realm (ba ha shachaq) can be equated or 471compared (‘arak) to (la) Yahowah (Yahowah)? Who is similar to or thinks like (damah) Yahowah (Yahowah) among the sons of gods (ba ben ‘el)? (Mizmowr 89:6)

God (‘el) is inspiring and awesome (‘arats) in the council and fellowship (ba sowd) of the Set-Apart Ones (qadowshym), tremendously great, while inspiring reverence and respect (rab wa yare’) beyond all those around Him (‘al kol sabyb). (Mizmowr 89:7)

Yahowah (Yahowah), God (‘elohym) of the vast array of spiritual implements (tsaba’), who and what (my) is comparable to Your (kamow ‘atah) awesome power and extraordinary gifts (chasyn) which are all around You (sabyb ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah), including (wa) Your unwavering commitment to the truth (‘emuwnah ‘atah)? (Mizmowr 89:8)

You have conveyed vivid parables, establishing an articulate leader (‘atah mashal) over the raging devastation and presumptive arrogance (ba ge’uwth) of the sea (ha yam). When its turbulent and surging waves rise up in deceit to craft delusions (ba nasa’ / nasha’ gal huw’), You expose them and stop them (‘atah shabach hem). (Mizmowr 89:9)

You humbled and crushed, rejecting and defeating (‘atah daka’) that which is comparable to the reprehensible and deadly nature of (ka ha chalal) the pretentious pride and stormy arrogance of the boisterous afflicter and his false god (rahab) with Your empowered and fortified (ba ‘oz ‘atah) Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’).

You isolate and separate (pazar) Your adversaries (‘oyeb ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:10)

The spiritual realm of the Heavens (shamaym) is Yours (la ‘atah). The material realm (‘erets), the world (tebel), and all that is in it (wa malo’ hy’), is also Yours 472(‘aph la ‘atah). You laid the foundation for them and created them (‘atah yasad hem). (Mizmowr 89:11)

Beside You, and on Your behalf (la ‘atah), the Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’) with tremendous power, courage, character, and awesome ability (‘im gabuwrah) will be Your strong hand (‘azaz yad ‘atah) raised up high (ruwm) at Your right side (yamyn ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:13)

Being correct and vindicating (tsedeq) regarding executing good judgment and justly resolving disputes (wa mishpat) serve as the foundation (makown) of y/Your throne (kise’ ‘atah).

A loving relationship and genuine mercy (chesed), along with a steadfast commitment to the truth (wa ‘emuwnah), encounter those who enter y/Your presence (qadam paneh ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:14)

Delighted to show the way because blessed (‘ashry) are the people (ha ‘am) who are aware of and acknowledge (yada’) Taruw’ah (Taruw’ah), who walk (halak) with the light into Your presence (ba ‘owr paneh ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah). (Mizmowr 89:15)

In Your name (ba shem ‘atah) they rejoice (gyl) every day (kol ha yowm – all the time). And (wa) in Your justice and vindication, by being right (ba tsadaqah ‘atah), they are lifted on high (ruwm). (Mizmowr 89:16)

Indeed (ky), the adornment and appearance (tiph’erth) of their empowerment and fortification (‘oz 473hem) is Yours (‘atah). By Your acceptance and approval (ba ratsown ‘atah), our brilliantly illuminating horn (qaran ‘anachnuw) is lifted up (ruwm). (Mizmowr 89:17)

For (ky) our deliverance and protection (magen ‘anachnuw) are from (la) Yahowah (Yahowah). Accordingly (wa la), the Qadowsh | Set-Apart One (qadowsh) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el) is our Melek | King (melek ‘anachnuw). (Mizmowr 89:18)

Therefore, in relation to this, logically (‘az) You spoke (dabar) in a revelation (ba chazown) to (la) Your Bacharym | Chosen and Tested Ones (bacharym ‘atah), saying (‘amar), ‘I have equated and bestowed (shawah) assistance, supplying what is needed (‘ezer) on behalf of (‘al) the Gibowr | Most Courageous and Capable Man (gibowr).

I have raised up and exalted (ruwm) the Bachar | Chosen One (bachar) from (min) the people (‘am). (Mizmowr 89:19)

I discovered and then made known, encountered, experienced, and exposed (matsa’) Dowd (Dowd), My ‘Ebed | Coworker (‘ebed ‘any).

Out of (min) Shemen Qodesh ‘Any | My Set-Apart Oil (shemen qodesh ‘any), I have mashach | anointed him (mashach huw’) (Mizmowr 89:20) so that, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), My hand and influence (yad ‘any) will be established and steadfast, authenticated and unwavering (kuwn) with you (‘im ‘atah).

In addition, and beyond this (‘aph), ‘Any Zarowa’ | My Protective Shepherd, Strong Arm, and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’ ‘any) will empower and embolden you, strengthening you, while enabling your growth (‘amets ‘atah).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:21)

It is the most important Song ever sung.

474While we are just over one-third of our way through the 89^th Mizmowr / Psalm, Yahowah has already acknowledged His Son as…

Dowd | Beloved – twice
Bachar ‘Any | My Chosen One – twice
‘Ebed ‘Any | My Coworker – twice
‘Ad ‘Owlam | a Restoring and Eternal Witness – twice
Mashal | an Articulate Leader – once
Yamyn | the Right Hand – once
‘Azaz Yad | a Strong Hand – once
Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb – 4 times
Gabuwrah | the feminine manifestation of the soul’s, spirit’s, and zarowa’s Power, Inspiring Courage, Outstanding Character, and Awesome Ability – twice
Qadowsh | Set-Apart One of Yisra’el – once
Gibowr | Most Courageous and Capable Man – once
Mashach | Anointed – once

And while those are names, titles, and attributes to cherish, it all pales when compared to what Yahowah had to say about Dowd…

“‘I have established, cutting through separation (karat) the Beryth | Covenant for the Family and Home (Beryth) through ‘Any Bachyr | My Chosen One – the person I prefer and have decided upon (la bachyr ‘any).

475Forevermore, as an ‘Ad ‘Owlam | Eternal Witness to the Restoring Testimony (‘ad ‘owlam), I will prepare and establish (kuwn) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah). In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ ‘atah) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr).’ Selah | Pause now and contemplate the implications (selah).

Beside You, and on Your behalf (la ‘atah), the Zarowa’ | Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb (zarowa’) with Gabuwrah | Tremendous Power, Inspiring Courage, Outstanding Character, and Awesome Ability (‘im gabuwrah) will be Your ‘Azaz Yad | Strong Hand (‘azaz yad ‘atah) raised up high (ruwm) at Your Yamyn | Right Side (yamyn ‘atah).

Therefore, in relation to this, logically (‘az) You spoke (dabar) in a revelation (ba chazown) to (la) Your Bacharym | Chosen and Tested Ones (bacharym ‘atah), saying (‘amar), ‘I have equated and bestowed (shawah) assistance, supplying what is needed (‘ezer) on behalf of (‘al – for and upon) the Gibowr | Most Courageous and Capable Man (gibowr). I have raised up and exalted (ruwm) the Bachar | Chosen One (bachar) from (min) the people (‘am).

I discovered and then made known, encountered, experienced, and exposed (matsa’) Dowd (Dowd), My ‘Ebed | Coworker (‘ebed ‘any). Out of (min) Shemen Qodesh ‘Any | My Set-Apart Oil (shemen qodesh ‘any), I have mashach | anointed him (mashach huw’) so that, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), 476My hand and influence (yad ‘any) will be established and steadfast, authenticated and unwavering (kuwn) with you (‘im ‘atah).

That’s pretty good for a man Paul claimed was dead and buried and, thus, replaced. And it’s impressive for a fellow who rabbis prefer to denigrate rather than celebrate.

As we press on, there is a slightly different order of things found within the Qumran parchments as opposed to the Masoretic Text. Psalm 89:25 follows Mizmowr 89:21. Further “his hand” becomes “My hand” and “My right side” in 4QPs. Dowd will stand at Yahowah’s right side and is serving as God’s hand.

“‘As such (wa), I will place (suwm – I will appoint, direct, set, and establish) My hand (yad ‘any – under My influence [from 4QPs whereas the MT read ‘his’ hand]) into (ba – within and over) the sea (ha yam – the waters of the oceans (a metaphor for gowym)) and My right side (yamyn ‘any – My right hand) adjacent to flowing waters (wa ba ha nahar – over the rivers and among the places water flows, also possibly in the feminine, naharah – in concert with the beaming light of the sun).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:25 repositioned based upon the Dead Sea Scrolls)

As He has already disclosed, Yahowah’s “yad – hand” is Dowd. Therefore, he will be placed over Gowym | Gentiles, represented in the text by the “yam – sea.” The “ha nahar – place from which the waters flow” at 477Yahowah’s “yamyn – right side,” is Tsyown. Upon their return, Yahowah is going to open up a life-giving waterway from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, running right through Mowryah between His Home on the summit and His Son’s palatial residence below. I expect that there will be a bridge of light connecting the two.

From death, there will be new life. And from the witness of the Dead Sea Scrolls, we will come to know our Father as Dowd knew Him.

As a result, the Adversary and the schemes of his tempestuous child will be thwarted. The Father of Lies, as Satan’s prodigy, is now also the “Son of Evil.” With this much evidence condemning Sha’uwl | Paul as the Towrahless One, the man who tried to annul the Word of God and negate the life and lyrics of the Messiah and Son of God, it’s curious that Christians remain fixated on identifying their “Antichrist.”

Fortunately, Yahowah is a great Father and is going to protect His Son…

“‘The Adversary (‘oyeb – the hostile opposition, the enemy, the one with animosity, enmity, and rancor (masculine singular)) will not outwit or nullify him (showa’ ba huw’ – will not negate his value or annul his position or purpose).

And (wa) the Son of Evil (ben ‘awlah – the awful child of wickedness, the prodigy of malice and injustice, the seed of the one who is wrong, harmful, and damaging; from ‘awal (transliterated ‘evel in the Masoretic Text) – the Evil One, who by being wrong deviates from the truth by perverting, twisting, and corrupting that which is correct (masculine singular)) will not deny him or denigrate him because he will have no answer for him (lo’ ‘anah huw’ – he will not silence him or stop him, will not negate his answers or nullify his responsive declarations (piel imperfect energic nun – the Son of Evil will not be allowed 478to continue his assault on Dowd)).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:22)

Showa’ wasn’t chosen by happenstance, nor was ‘awlah. Showa’ is used in the 3^rd Statement Yahowah etched in stone to say that He would not forgive anyone who sought to nullify or negate the value of His name. He’s not going to allow Satan to denigrate or silence Dowd, either.

This is an important lesson because it means that God is as protective of His name and reputation as He is of His Son’s. An attack on one is an assault on the other. To degrade the Son by failing to acknowledge what he has sacrificed to save Yisra’el or to replace him with a mythical misnomer, as is the case with Judaism and Christianity, is to garner his Father’s wrath.

As for ‘awlah, it was used in Chabaquwq | Habakkuk 2:12 to reveal that Sha’uwl | Paul, the Plague of Death, would build an evil edifice. Therefore, Yahowah is tying each of these clues together for us so that we might understand Satan’s desire to degrade Yahowah’s Chosen. God does not want us fooled into denying or trivializing the Zarowa’.

While the Adversary, as ha Satan, is singular, as is his prodigy, the Son of Evil, when working together as they did to conceive Christianity, they become “tsary – adversarial foes.” Beyond this, to the best of my knowledge, there are only three prominent individuals who claimed to speak for God while admitting to being demon-possessed: the people’s choice, King Sha’uwl | Saul, the wannabe Apostle and false prophet, Sha’uwl | Paul, and the self-acclaimed Messenger of God, Muhammad.

However, since the Plague of Death was explicitly named Sha’uwl in Chabaquwq / Habakkuk, it doesn’t take a genius to ascertain which of these nefarious fellows earned the title “Son of Evil.” More to the point, Sha’uwl’s 479name will soon appear within this Mizmowr, eliminating any doubt as to the identity of the Wicked Child.

May we applaud Yah. The title is fitting.

It’s stupefying that no one has bothered to ask: if Sha’uwl | Paul is as goddamn important as he claims, if he is the lone Apostle to the Gentile world, why are all of the prophetic references to him decidedly negative? Why isn’t there a single positive comment about the principal author of the Christian New Testament to be found anywhere in prophecy? If it is Sha’uwl that we should be listening to, why is Dowd, the man whose status and testimony Paul sought to annul, featured in more prophecies than everyone else combined? If Paul is telling the truth and Dowd is lying, why is it that Paul consistently misquotes and contradicts God while Yahowah proclaims that Dowd is right?

Why is this Dowd’s Song and not an Ode to Sha’uwl?

Why is Sha’uwl’s name synonymous with She’owl? Why does it mean, “Question Him?” Why is he a Benyamite | Son Headed South to the Sea of Gentiles and a wolf if he is to be believed? Why does Dowd’s name mean “Beloved?” Why is Dowd the one from Yahuwdah | Beloved of Yah while Sha’uwl is from the most wayward of the tribes?

Why is Dowd afforded almost every positive title, accolade, and attribute by God, Himself: from the Chosen One to the Set-Apart One, from Son of God to the Hand of God, from Messiah to King, and from the Branch to the Protective Shepherd and Sacrificial Lamb, if we aren’t supposed to value his contribution to our lives? Why is Dowd accompanying Yahowah upon His return and then presented ruling the world, if his life and testimony are to be discounted? Why are the only titles God associated with Sha’uwl | Paul the Father of Lies, the Son of Evil, and the 480Plague of Death if there is anything good or right about him?

Asked another way, since the Book of Acts claims that Paul was such a big shot, such a persuasive orator and prolific writer, a man who traveled throughout the Greco-Roman world, the best student of Gamaliel, the leading rabbi of the day, and a man who supposedly met with numerous kings along the way, why isn’t there a single reference to him in any of the communities or nations he visited? Having allegedly given speeches before provincial governors, kings, and emperors, why didn’t a court scribe record his message? Why wasn’t the Christian globetrotter mentioned by Tacitus, Pliny, Josephus, or even by a rabbi? Why is Paul’s written account of his life in Galatians so incompatible with the story he told Luke in Acts? Why did he die miserable and alone, rejected by all he sought to influence? What did those who listened to Paul and rejected him realize that Christians fail to recognize today?

Rest assured, before the conclusion of these chapters, we will expose Sha’uwl | Paul’s irrational attempts, both spoken and written, to “tsary – constrain and restrict” the importance of Dowd | the Beloved of Yahowah. You will know, as does God, why the Plague of Death must be vanquished.

Standing up for the one who stood with Him, Yah reveals…

“‘And so (wa), I will pulverize and crush (kathath – I will defeat, beat down, shatter, and break, then vanquish, throwing away and incarcerating under extremely unfavorable circumstances after thoroughly rebuking (qal perfect)) his foes, especially those who seek to constrain and restrict him (tsary huw’ – his adversaries who openly display their hostility and opposition, creating an unfavorable situation, by diminishing his calling and purpose).

481Then (wa) out of his presence (min paneh huw’ – away from and on account of, even before his appearance), I will plague (nagaph – I will afflict with a deadly pandemic disease, smiting and inflicting with that which is destructive, harmful, and injurious) those who shun him by attempting to decrease his status (sane’ huw’ – those who are openly hostile in their derision and who so intensely dislike him they refuse to associate with him, failing to appreciate what his love represents, hating him).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:23)

Empirically, having dissected, compared, and analyzed much of what Sha’uwl | Paul said and wrote, I realized that the principal author of the Christian New Testament was not only replacing Dowd with his mythological god-man, “Jesus Christ,” but was decreasing Dowd’s status to elevate his own. However, until I invested the time to specifically scrutinize Paul’s spoken and written assessment of Dowd, the first in Acts and the second in Romans, I had no idea just how irrational and pathetic his attempts had been.

As a result, I came to understand the basis of Replacement Theology. Paul’s irrational and counterproductive assessments of Dowd were contrived because the Father of Lies realized that ha Mashyach’s life and lyrics not only undermined his New Testament, but they also obliterated his credibility. And soon enough, you will know what I have learned.

By contrast, Yahowah and Dowd share this in common…

“‘Therefore (wa), My steadfast commitment to the truth (‘emuwnah ‘any – My trustworthiness and unrelenting honesty, the realization that I am reliable and dependable, unchanging and without contradiction, resolute and unwavering; from ‘emuwn – My enduring truth and ‘aman – My support and willingness to confirm 482and uphold that which is trustworthy, consistent, and verifiable and My continuing commitment to confirm that which is correct and accurate) and (wa) My unwavering love, determined devotion, and enduring favoritism, My ongoing affection and genuine favoritism (chesed ‘any – My commitment to a loving relationship, to generosity and kindness, in addition to the continuation of My merciful benefits), are with him (‘im huw’ – mark My association with him and are implied in My relationship with him).

In My name (wa ba shem ‘any – in My personal and proper designation), his light will radiate and enlighten and his brilliant horn (qeren huw’ – his glowing appearance on his summit and his ability to enlighten will be brilliant, even his ram’s-horn crown, symbolic of his status and strength, and of his role as the protective ram among the sheep during Taruw’ah will be prominent, as will be his trumpet for signaling which emits light) will be lifted up, raised on high, and exalted (ruwm – will arise and act (qal imperfect)).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:24)

Dowd | David is like Yahowah in this way. Both share an unwavering commitment to the truth. They are both loving. By looking at one we see the other. Seen together, they encapsulate the Towrah and emulate the Covenant. Their relationship has made it possible for us to understand, and thereby experience, Yahowah’s enduring love and mercy.

When Yahowah said this about Himself, He destroyed the basis of the Christian religion. Since God is unwavering in His commitment to the truth, He could not have inspired the contradictory message found in the Christian New Testament – especially since it annuls much of what He claimed would be consistently reliable. Since the God of the Towrah is genuinely loving and merciful, the “Gospel of Grace” is without merit. If it conveys the same message 483as that found in the Towrah (which it doesn’t), it becomes superfluous. If its message differs (and it does), for it to be true, the statement God just made must be false. Since God stated that His enduring commitment to the truth and mercy were both with Dowd, one leads to the other, completely negating “Salvation through Faith.”

All good things occur in Yahowah’s name, from love to enlightenment, from mercy to being converted into light. Also interesting, Yahowah told ‘Abraham that He would provide the lamb. And so, when ‘Abraham looked, he saw the lamb’s “qeren – horns of radiant light” on the summit of Mowryah. Therefore, based upon this statement, Yahowah was symbolically portraying what He would accomplish with Dowd 2,000 years later on Mowryah. After all, Dowd is not only the exemplar of the Covenant, as the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb who scribed his experience during Chag Matsah in first person, he is the fulfillment of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym – having done so at this same place.

One after the next, every word of each declaration contains a treasure trove of relevant insights. The same is true with these next three statements. They are awesome individually and exceptional collectively. Dowd’s status with God is both special and secure.

“‘He, himself, will call out to Me and welcome Me, announcing (huw’ qara’ ‘any – he will genuinely invite Me into his life, actually reading and reciting to Me, continually proclaiming unto Me (qal imperfect)), “You are my Father (‘ab ‘any ‘atah)!” (Mizmowr 89:26)

[Note: “‘el ‘any wa tsuwr yashuwa’ah ‘any – my God and Rock of my salvation” is omitted in 4QPs but included in the Masoretic Text.]

I (‘any), also (‘aph – likewise and in relation [from 4QPs]), will appoint and make him (nathan huw’ – will offer and present him, bestowing him as a gift, causing him 484by way of this relationship to be (qal imperfect)) Bakowr ‘Any | My Firstborn (bakowr ‘any – My firstborn son, serving as the basis of Bikuwrym, the 3^rd of 7 Miqra’ey), the ‘Elyown | Highest and Uppermost (‘elyown – the most exalted in status, rank, and position, the supreme, a title so Divine in nature, it is almost always reserved for God, Himself, meaning: Almighty God; from ‘alah – to ascend above) in comparison to the kings and rulers (la melekym – government leaders) of the Earth (‘erets – of the material realm and of the Land). (Mizmowr 89:27)

For all eternity (la ‘owlam – forever, from antiquity and into the future without end) I will keep watch over him, paying very close attention to him (shamar la huw’ – I will focus upon him, observing all there is to know about him, closely and carefully considering him, paying attention to him and guarding him).

My unwavering love, unrelenting devotion, enduring affection, and genuine favoritism (chesed ‘any – My commitment to a loving relationship, to generosity and kindness, as well as My compassion and mercy) in addition to My Family-Oriented Covenant (wa beryth ‘any – as well as My binding oath and pledge to build a home and raise My family; from beyth – family and home and banah – to build a home to raise children) are truthfully presented and reliably established, verifiable and enduring through him (‘aman la huw’ – are confirmed and credible, upheld and everlasting, especially real for him and through him).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:28)

Second only to the introductory proclamations Yahowah made at the inception of Dowd’s Song, the last three pronouncements are as profoundly important as anything found in the Towrah and Prophets.

“‘He, himself, will call out to Me and welcome Me, announcing (huw’ qara’ ‘any), “You are my Father (‘ab 485‘any ‘atah)!” I (‘any), also (‘aph), will bestow him as a gift, appointing, making him (nathan huw’) Bakowr ‘Any | My Firstborn (bakowr ‘any), as ‘Elyown | Almighty God, the Highest and Uppermost (‘elyown) in comparison to the kings and rulers (la melekym) of the Earth (‘erets).

For all eternity (la ‘owlam), I will keep watch over him, paying very close attention to him, focusing on him (shamar la huw’). My unwavering love, unrelenting devotion, enduring affection, and genuine favoritism (chesed ‘any) in addition to My Family-Oriented Covenant (wa beryth ‘any) are truthfully presented and reliably established, verifiable and enduring through him (‘aman la huw’).’”

Dowd is announcing and Yahowah is affirming that they are Father and Son. Just as there is no one else that Yahowah personally anointed, Dowd stands alone as the Son of God. Further, Yahowah is offering His Son to us as a gift. And this is insightful because it helps us appreciate the identity of the “child who was born and the son who is given” in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:6.

When Dowd refers to Yahowah as his Father and Yahowah responds by acknowledging that He perceives Dowd to be His Son, they are describing the nature of their relationship and the way they interact with one another. They are not describing a biological connection but, instead, something far more profound.

In a father / son relationship, the parent carries most of the responsibility and does the preponderance of the work. Fathers mentor sons, set an example for them to follow, and teach and guide them. Parents provide nourishment and shelter, apparel and protection for their children.

The child also bears some responsibility. They must learn and accept the house rules and contribute to the family in some way once they are able. It’s even better 486when sons respect their father and are appreciative, and it’s best when they are able to advance the family business. And in this regard, Dowd was the perfect son.

And this is one of the reasons why Dowd earned the right to be called Yahowah’s Bakowr | Firstborn. With this distinction he earned the right to wear his Father’s crown and share His throne. He would also inherit the birthright of a royal firstborn.

Also, with the Miqra’ey existing to advance the rewards of the Covenant, by fulfilling Pesach and Matsah, Dowd became the best-suited individual to exemplify the benefits of Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children.

The most electrifying term in the mix is ‘elyown. When it is used throughout the Towrah, it is addressing Almighty God. So, at the very least, Dowd is to be seen as over and above other men – the most distinguished of all. And, if we are to trust the Towrah’s definition, as is well advised, then Yahowah is presenting His Son as God.

While this would normally be shocking, it actually isn’t. By design, sons are supposed to grow up and become like their fathers. And when it comes to this Family, the benefits of the Covenant, all of which Dowd helped provide by fulfilling the Miqra’ey, are specifically designed to make us more like God, enriching, empowering, and enlightening us. Moreover, as we transition from the material to the spiritual realm, we will grow exponentially in dimensions, going from three to seven – which is an infinite increase four times over.

Lastly, as we approach the conclusion of this Mizmowr, Yahowah will tell us that Dowd will become as brilliant as the sun in His presence. So, based upon all of this, we would be well served to read ‘Elyown as Almighty God. And so as not to risk shortchanging God’s Son, then he is the ‘Elyown | Highest and Uppermost. So please, let’s 487silence the foolish religious rhetoric praising the likes of Jesus, Paul, Akiba, Muhammad, or Maimonides.

Dowd’s status is never going to change. We have God’s word on it. He will continue to focus on His Son throughout eternity.

Yahowah’s concluding statement speaks volumes. He is declaring for all of us to read that His love, affection, and mercy are best demonstrated and understood when we consider His relationship with Dowd. Further, the Covenant is most accurately presented, affirmed, and verified when we examine Dowd’s participation via his life and lyrics.

It all begins with qara’. Father and Son have invited us into the Covenant Family. We have been “called out” of this world so that we can be “welcomed” in Heaven. By “reading and reciting” the Word of God, we find Father and Son “summoning us” to their side. When we capitalize on what Father and Son have done through the Miqra’ey to deliver the benefits of the Covenant, we grow exponentially.

Dowd has shown us the way. Follow him.

Yah will remain attuned to Dowd, even throughout eternity, because He loves him as a father loves a son. God said, “chesed ‘any wa beryth ‘any ‘aman la huw’ – My unwavering love, unrelenting devotion, and enduring mercy are truthfully presented and will reliably endure with him as part of My Covenant Family.” Even when they act up, parents never tire of their children. And when a child grows up to devote themselves to the betterment of the family, when they go about their father’s business, every moment is a cause for celebration. This is not only why we have children – it is why we exist.

According to God, Dowd is the most interesting and important man in the world. We devalue him and Yah’s 488relationship with him at our peril. By contrast, if we do as Yahowah does, and “shamar – closely examine and carefully consider” his every word and deed, we will endure forever.

Based on what Yahowah has to say about Dowd, it is prudent that we listen to him and follow his example.

“‘And I will establish (wa sym – appoint and preserve) his seed, that which he sows, and his offspring (zera’ huw’ – his posterity and descendants as well as what is yielded from the seeds he plants), as an eternal witness forever (la ‘ed | ‘ad – as everlasting and enduring testimony and as evidence which serves as proof).

And (wa) his throne (kise’ huw’ – his position and seat of honor) will be equated to the days of heaven (ka yowm shamaym – will be as time in the spiritual realm, which is everlasting).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:29)

The Covenant’s Children are the beneficiaries of what Dowd has sown. And as such, we are his offspring – the legacy of the harvest he has provided. Through the Son, the Father has built a Family. As a result, his place of honor and his offspring shall endure forever – as replete with time as are the days of heaven.

We now know that the Spiritual Abode of God has a seat of honor, indeed a throne, one with Dowd’s name written upon it. Therefore, it’s not just throughout the Millennial Kingdom that we should expect to see Dowd shepherd his flock, but in Heaven as well.

If we wish to be there with him, it’s important that we realize that where there is freewill, there are choices to be made and alliances to be established and broken. Dowd chose wisely, electing to closely examine and carefully consider Yahowah’s Towrah. His 119^th Mizmowr | Psalm, the twenty-two-stanza alphabetic presentation of the 489Towrah, remains one of the crowning achievements of his life.

Unfortunately, those misled by the likes of Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad will face the consequences of having chosen poorly and, in particular, Yahuwdym – the direct descendants of Dowd...

“‘However, if (‘im – and yet on the contrary and condition, should the situation be that) his children (beny huw’ – his descendants) continue to forsake, ignore, or reject (‘azab – they habitually neglect or abandon, depart from and disavow (qal imperfect)) My Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah ‘any – My Source of Instruction and Direction) and (wa) if they make a habit of failing to walk (wa lo’ halak – and do not journey, conducting their lives (qal imperfect)) according to My means to justly resolve disputes (ba mishpat ‘any – within the parameters I’ve set to execute good judgment and to be discerning; a compound of ma – to ponder the implications of and shaphat – making good decisions and being just), (Mizmowr 89:30) if (‘im – on the condition that they) they perpetually view My clearly communicated prescriptions for living with contempt (chuqah ‘any chalal – profaning and desecrating My conditions, dishonoring what I’ve enacted and constituted (qal imperfect)), and further (wa), if they consistently fail to observe the instructive terms of the relationship (mitswah ‘any lo’ shamar – they fail to closely examine and carefully consider the requirements of the covenant (qal imperfect)), (Mizmowr 89:31) then (wa) I will hold them accountable (paqad – I will consider all of these things and attend to them) with the measure (ba shebet – with the rod and scepter) of their religious rebellion and popular political revolt (pesha’ hem – of their defiance and contrarian nature).

The consequence of their deviation from the way and of their wrongdoing (‘awon hem – their perversity 490and depravity) will be a pestilence which causes widespread death (ba nega’ – will be a sudden blow, physically infecting them such that they are plagued and die from the spread of the fungus).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:32)

According to God, souls who neglect the Towrah, die. The consequence of ignoring Yah’s Teaching is to endure the plague of death. To reject God’s Guidance is to be held accountable. There is no substitute and no getting around it, not with the Talmud or Gospels, and most certainly not with the Quran.

The Towrah is the Key to Heaven. It provides Yahowah’s means to resolve disputes: Passover and UnYeasted Bread. Within it, we find Yah’s clearly communicated prescriptions for living: Bikuwrym and Shabuw’ah. Observing it leads the observant through Taruw’ah to Kipurym and Sukah – reconciled and at home.

To deviate from Yahowah’s Towrah Teaching through religious rebellion has devastating consequences causing widespread death. Consider the fate of Jews since they last accepted Dowd’s guidance in this regard as proof.

Similarly, those who were infected by Paul’s Plague of Death will die as a result of it. The New Testament is wrong. Annulling the Towrah, forsaking, ignoring, and rejecting Yahowah’s Teaching and Guidance is deadly. There is no cure, no salvation, for those who fail to observe and appreciate God’s means to resolve disputes, or who hold His clearly communicated prescriptions for living in contempt.

Yahowah’s mercy is afforded to the thousands among billions who embrace the instructive terms of His relationship agreement. It’s our choice, but we will be held accountable for those we continue to make about Father and Son.

491Those who would ignore or purloin what was attributed to Dowd to salvage their religious beliefs are not listening. They will either change their minds or they are out of their minds…

“‘Accordingly (wa), My unwavering love, enduring devotion, unmitigated favoritism, affection, and generosity (chesed ‘any – My commitment to a loving relationship, to mercy and kindness) I will never remove from him or withdraw from being with him (lo’ parar min ‘im huw’ – I will not revoke, disassociate, or annul in association with him (hifil imperfect)) because I will never communicate something which is not true nor will I ever contradict (wa lo’ shaqar – I will not lie, deal falsely, deceive, or mislead, and thus never betray who I am, with regard to (piel imperfect)) My steadfast commitment to the truth (ba ‘emuwnah ‘any – with regard to My trustworthiness and honesty, the fact that I am reliable and dependable; from ‘emuwn – My enduring truth and ‘aman – My support and willingness to confirm and uphold that which is trustworthy, reliable, and verifiable and My continuing commitment to confirm that which is correct and accurate). (Mizmowr 89:33)

I will never dishonor or betray, nor will I poke holes in (lo’ chalal – I will never defile by treating as if it were common, and thus not uniquely special, holding in contempt, sullying or desecrating, and I will never perforate, creating loopholes which violate the nature and use of) Beryth ‘Any | My Covenant Family (beryth ‘any – My Family, My Home, and My Relationship Agreement) nor will I ever alter, disguise, or change (wa lo’ shanah – and I will never rearrange, modify, adjust, or duplicate (piel imperfect)) that which has gone forth from (mowtsa’ – that which at any stage of the journey has been placed on, issued and traveled from, uttered by or exited out of) My lips (saphah ‘any – My statements, language, and speech). (Mizmowr 89:34)

492‘Echad | There is Only One (‘echad – once and for all, there is only one man) to whom I have affirmed the truth by having made a promise (shaba’ – to whom I have validated My commitment through a sworn oath to be affirmed seven times (nifal perfect – at a point in time, the subject, Yahowah, made this promise and at another, He will honor it)) by Qodesh ‘Any | My uniquely Set-Apart nature (ba qodesh ‘any – by that which is set apart from Me).

If not to (‘im la – if it isn’t regarding) Dowd | the Beloved (Dowd), I will be proven a liar (kazab – I have communicated that which is not true and is deceptive and false, and in the end will have failed through deception and delusion (piel imperfect)).’” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:35)

By itself, this would rank among Yahowah’s most influential statements. However, when combined with the others He has made throughout Dowd’s Song, God’s citations speak more persuasively and passionately than anything ever said by God or man. These words are transformational and life-changing…

Forevermore, as an ‘Ad ‘Owlam | Eternal Witness to the Restoring Testimony (‘ad ‘owlam), I will prepare and establish (kuwn) your offspring and that which you sow (zera’ ‘atah). In addition, I will construct a home (wa banah) for your throne and seat of honor (kise’ 493‘atah) on behalf of all generations throughout time (la dowr wa dowr).’ (89:4)

I discovered and then made known, encountered, experienced, and exposed (matsa’) Dowd (Dowd), ‘Ebed ‘Any | My Coworker (‘ebed ‘any). Out of (min) Shemen Qodesh ‘Any | My Set-Apart Oil (shemen qodesh ‘any), I have mashach | anointed him (mashach huw’) (89:20) so that, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), My hand and influence (yad ‘any) will be established and steadfast, authenticated and unwavering (kuwn) with you (‘im ‘atah).

Therefore (wa), My steadfast commitment to the truth (‘emuwnah ‘any) and (wa) My unwavering love, persistent devotion, and enduring favoritism, My ongoing affection and genuine favoritism (chesed ‘any), are with him (‘im huw’).’

‘In My name (wa ba shem ‘any), his light will radiate and enlighten, and his brilliant horn, symbolic of his status and strength, and of his role as the protective ram among the sheep during Taruw’ah 494(qeren huw’) will be lifted up, raised on high, and exalted (ruwm). (89:24)

He, himself, will call out to Me and welcome Me, announcing (huw’ qara’ ‘any), “You are my Father (‘ab ‘any ‘atah)!” (89:26) I (‘any), also (‘aph), will bestow him as a gift, appointing and making him (nathan huw’) Bakowr ‘Any | My Firstborn (bakowr ‘any), as ‘Elyown | Almighty God, the Highest and Uppermost (‘elyown) in comparison to the kings and rulers (la melekym) of the Earth (‘erets). (89:27)

Accordingly (wa), My unwavering love, enduring devotion, unmitigated favoritism, affection, and generosity (chesed ‘any), I will never revoke, disassociate, or remove from him, nor withdraw from being with him (lo’ parar min ‘im huw’).

I will never betray who I am by communicating something which is misleading or untrue, nor will I ever contradict or undermine (wa lo’ shaqar) My steadfast commitment to uphold the truth and remain accurate and reliable (ba ‘emuwnah ‘any). (89:33)

I will never dishonor or betray, nor will I create loopholes which alter (lo’ chalal) Beryth ‘Any | My Covenant Family (beryth ‘any), nor will I ever alter, disguise, or change, rearrange, modify, or duplicate (wa lo’ shanah) that which has gone forth from (mowtsa’) My lips (saphah ‘any). (89:34)

‘Echad | There is Only One (‘echad) to whom I have affirmed the truth by having made a promise, thereby validating My commitment which will be affirmed seven times (shaba’) by Qodesh ‘Any | My uniquely Set-Apart nature (ba qodesh ‘any). If not to, through, and regarding (‘im la) Dowd | the Beloved (Dowd), I am delusional and will be proven a liar (kazab).’” (Mizmowr 89:35)

495This is the bright line drawn by God in the sands of time. Presented in year 3000 Yah, 968 BCE, exactly 3,000 years after we were escorted out of ‘Eden and 3,000 years before we will return to the Garden. Yahowah undeniably and unequivocally presented His most impassioned plea to His people. His focus was on His Family and His Foremost Son. This is the Cornerstone of the Family Home which was laid upon Mowryah and which everyone rejected.

Had Yahuwdym | Jews listened, had they embraced and accepted Yahowah’s approach to Dowd and the Covenant, Yisra’el would have remained the brightest light in an enlightened world. The assaults of the Assyrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Macedonians, and Romans would never have occurred. Dowd’s return to fulfill the first three Mow’edym would have been celebrated, with God’s people flocking to the Covenant. Paul would have been immediately rebuked and discredited such that Christianity would never have existed. Akiba and his false Messiah would have gone unheralded, nipping the emergence of Judaism in the bud. There would have been no Diaspora and no oppression in Europe over the millennia. Without rabbis and their Talmud, Muhammad would not have had sufficient material to flesh out his Quran and Islam would have died in Petra. There would be no Dome of the Rock, no Al-Aqsa Mosque, and no Islamic terrorism. The Holocaust would never have occurred.

Of all of the things to ignore, these declarations from Yahowah were the costliest and most debilitating. The relationship God intended was replaced by religion, and humankind suffered, estranged from Yah as a consequence.

This is in your face, against the very existence of the Haredi and Christians. You have done this to yourselves, necessitating Yahowah’s rebuke. Who are you to demand that God change everything He has said and done to accommodate you and your perverted religions? It is you 496who have called God a liar through your Talmud and New Testament. It is you who have replaced Yahowah’s Covenant with one of your own – poking holes in His in the process, defiling it.

In particular, Christians, believing Sha’uwl | Paul over Father and Son, have created the most common, and thus profane, religion in the history of mankind by transferring the promises made to Dowd and to Yisra’el, such that they were given to the mythological misnomer “Jesus Christ.” Shame on them for believing and promoting contradictions of Yahowah’s testimony, for undermining the measure of His mercy, and the reliability of His testimony!

There will be no accommodation for a Gospel of Grace, for Salvation by Faith, for a New Testament, for Jesus Christ being the Messiah, the Son of God, the King of Kings, or the Savior. To claim otherwise is to call God a liar.

And while these words from our God serve as a deathblow to Christianity one thousand years before Paul thrust his demonic devotion upon an unsuspecting world, his New Testament was not the gravest crime. How did 150 generations of Jewish sages, scholars, and rabbis over the course of 3,000 years, all manage to deny the obvious? Why did they collectively and individually deprive Jews of knowing Yahowah through His Son, Dowd? Why did they prevent the salvation of several hundred million Jewish souls? Why isn’t there a single credible Jewish sage, scholar, or rabbi on record affirming and promoting the impassioned message of Father and Son?

Everything, literally everything, including the survival of Yisra’el and humankind, the salvation of our souls, is predicated upon the words Yahowah spoke to us 3,000 years ago in the 89^th Mizmowr / Psalm. And this bold declaration does not stand alone but is, instead, reinforced by the entirety of the Towrah and Prophets. It is the same 497wonderfully consistent and enormously loving message throughout. This is just the grand crescendo of the chorus.

The reason this is so is because Father and Son fulfilled the Miqra’ey together. This is the Cornerstone of the Family Home. We find and embrace the Father through the Son. They are inseparable and they are becoming indistinguishable. ‘Elyown!

There is one God with a single Towrah. He has one Covenant, albeit 7 Miqra’ey to bring us Home. There is one Messiah, one Son of God, and a single Passover Lamb. He is our Savior. This shall never change or be altered in any way. Nothing Yahowah revealed has been annulled – especially His love for His Firstborn, Dowd.

“‘His offspring and that which he sows (zera’ huw’ – his descendants, his posterity, his family, and his seed, that which he propagates by having planted) will exist and endure (hayah – have been, are, and will be (qal imperfect)) forever (la ‘owlam – eternally throughout all time).

And (wa) his place of honor, his dignity and authority, as well as his adornment (kise’ huw’ – his throne, seat of sovereign leadership, and power; from kise’ – authority and power and kasah – to cover, clothe, and adorn) will be as (ka – will be comparable to) brilliant as the sun (ha shemesh – the sunlight) before Me (neged ‘any – as My conspicuous counterpart in My presence, openly in proximity to Me). (Mizmowr 89:36)

Similar to (ka – in the manner of) the moon (yareach), he is established (kuwn – he is appointed and prepared, trusted and set in place (nifal imperfect third-person masculine singular)) forevermore (‘owlam – eternally throughout time), while serving as an enduring and reliable, truthful and dependable (wa ‘aman – being an easily verified, confident and trustworthy, loyal and nurturing (nifal participle)) witness (‘ed – symbol and 498informative source of restoring testimony) in the universe (ba ha shachaq – in spacetime for laughter and play).’

Pause now and contemplate what you have just read (selah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:37)

What Dowd has articulated and accomplished will take root and grow, yielding an eternal harvest. He will endure forevermore as will his offspring – the Children of the Covenant.

The Son’s dignity and authority, as well as the symbols of his majesty, will be as brilliant as the sun in his Father’s presence. Adorned in the vestiges of his calling, Dowd will become Yahowah’s most conspicuous counterpart.

The moon, while 400 times smaller than the sun, is 400 times closer to the Earth. And the moon, comprised of the essence of the Earth, is illuminated as a result of reflecting the sun’s light. These serve as metaphors that portray the proper perspective to view the Firstborn. By describing him as the second most important luminary (compared to his Father), Yahowah is conveying to us that Dowd's arrivals are important markers of time. The seven Mow’edym he has and will fulfill are all predicated upon how we view the sun and moon.

Also, it was in the fullness of the moon’s light that Dowd fulfilled Pesach and Matsah. And it will be under the light of a full moon that we will camp out with our King during Sukah.

Dowd is not only Yahowah’s most enduring and reliable witness, but he is also the most readily verified source of restoring testimony. It is a role he has carried out so well over the years, and it will continue forevermore. As we shachaq | laugh and play throughout space and time, our steps will be guided by Dowd’s reflection of the Almighty’s Light.

499Christians can take their Madonna and Child, her baby “Jesus,” their dead god on a stick, and their “Second Coming” and stick them where the sun don’t shine, because they do not belong in Yah’s world. And as for the Haredi in their horrifyingly morbid mourning clothes, they are perfectly suited to continue worshiping dead rabbis while giving lip service to the HaShem they do not know and the Towrah they have replaced, all while awaiting the arrival of their unknown Messiah.

As for the enlightened, the informed, rational, and reasonable, here is the second third of Dowd’s Song. One day soon, I hope you will join me and the Covenant Family when singing this to our King…

“‘As such (wa), I will place (suwm) My hand (yad ‘any) into (ba) the sea (ha yam) and My right side (yamyn ‘any) adjacent to flowing waters (wa ba ha nahar). (Mizmowr 89:25 repositioned)

The Adversary (‘oyeb) will not outwit or nullify him, never negating his value or annulling his purpose (showa’ ba huw’). And (wa) the Son of Evil (ben ‘awlah) will not deny him or denigrate him because he will have no answer for him (lo’ ‘anah huw’). (Mizmowr 89:22)

And so (wa), I will pulverize and crush, vanquish and incarcerate (kathath) his foes, especially those who seek to constrain and restrict him (tsary huw’). Then (wa) out of his presence (min paneh huw’), I will plague (nagaph) those who shun him by attempting to decrease his status (sane’ huw’). (Mizmowr 89:23)

Therefore (wa), My steadfast commitment to the truth (‘emuwnah ‘any) and (wa) My unwavering love, determined devotion, and enduring favoritism, My ongoing affection and genuine favoritism (chesed ‘any), are with him (‘im huw’).

500In My name (wa ba shem ‘any), his light will radiate and enlighten and his brilliant horn, symbolic of his status and strength, and of his role as the protective ram among the sheep during Pesach and Taruw’ah (qeren huw’) will be lifted up, raised on high, and exalted (ruwm). (Mizmowr 89:24)

He, himself, will call out to Me and welcome Me, announcing (huw’ qara’ ‘any), “You are my Father (‘ab ‘any ‘atah)!” (Mizmowr 89:26)

I (‘any), also (‘aph), will bestow him as a gift, appointing and making him (nathan huw’) Bakowr ‘Any | My Firstborn (bakowr ‘any), as ‘Elyown | Almighty God, the Highest and Uppermost (‘elyown) in comparison to the kings and rulers (la melekym) of the Earth (‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:27)

And I will establish (wa sym) his seed, that which he sows, especially his offspring (zera’ huw’), as an eternal witness forever (la ‘ed /‘ad). And (wa) his throne and dignity (kise’ huw’) will be equated to the days of heaven (ka yowm shamaym). (Mizmowr 89:29)

The consequence of their deviation from the way and of their wrongdoing (‘awon hem) will be a pestilence which causes widespread death (ba nega’). (Mizmowr 89:32)

I will never dishonor or betray, nor will I create loopholes which alter (lo’ chalal) Beryth ‘Any | My Covenant Family (beryth ‘any), nor will I ever amend, disguise, or change, rearrange, modify, or duplicate (wa lo’ shanah) that which has gone forth from (mowtsa’) My lips (saphah ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:34)

‘Echad | There is Only One (‘echad) to whom I have declared the truth by having made a promise, thereby validating My commitment which will be affirmed seven times (shaba’) by Qodesh ‘Any | My uniquely Set-Apart nature (ba qodesh ‘any).

If not to, through, and regarding (‘im la) Dowd | the Beloved (Dowd), I am delusional and will be proven a liar (kazab). (Mizmowr 89:35)

502His offspring and that which he sows (zera’ huw’) will exist and endure (hayah) forever (la ‘owlam). And (wa) his place of honor, his dignity and authority, as well as his adornment (kise’ huw’) will be as (ka) brilliant as the sun (ha shemesh) before Me as My conspicuous counterpart (neged ‘any). (Mizmowr 89:36)

Similar to (ka) the moon (yareach), he is established, appointed, set in place, and trusted (kuwn) forevermore throughout time (‘owlam), while serving as an enduring and reliable, truthful and dependable (wa ‘aman) witness and source of restoring testimony (‘ed) in the universe of spacetime for laughter and play (ba ha shachaq).’

Pause now and contemplate what you have read (selah).” (Mizmowr 89:37)

Yisra’el, there is no plea more impassioned, no invitation more vital, no person more beneficial. The Zarowa’ is calling you home.



At long last, we have reached the transition from benefit to consequence within the 89^th Mizmowr. This is the portion of Dowd’s Song that was alluded to in 2 Shamuw’el 7 when Yahowah predicted that His people would deny and denigrate the Son of God and Messiah.

After all of these years of trying, we have finally come to understand this most intriguing of prophecies. And prior to this time, we were ill-equipped to process what follows. But now if I may restate the assessment presented at the conclusion of our review of Yahowah’s prophetic pronouncement to Dowd, I think we’ll see what follows more clearly: Dowd exemplifies and represents more than one individual man.

503Even more than Ya’aqob, Dowd is Yisra’el. The promises made to him were made to them, from being the children of God and heirs to the Covenant, to being recipients of the Land. His joys and heartaches, his ongoing battles with gowym, his insights and confusion, the benefits he enjoyed in concert with the Covenant and the consequences he endured when he ran afoul of it, are all shared by the nation he shepherded.

It was in concert with Dowd representing Yisra’el, and of Yisra’el’s contribution to annulling the truths we have just considered, that these words were prophetically inscribed in parallel with 2 Shamuw’el 7. After all, it is Yisra’el that has…

“But now (wa) you, yourselves, , yourselves, have refused to accept, creating a foul stench by snubbing (zanach – your stagnation and lack of movement has caused you to be excluded and throw out for a time (qal perfect)), such that (wa) you have rejected by diminishing the merit of, even spurning over time by repudiating the essence of (ma’as – you have minimized the value of, thereby limiting your relationship with and reliance upon so as to incur a festering wound caused by dissolving every sensible connection (qal imperfect)), improperly, and on your own initiative, meddling while presumptuously passing over (‘abar – unjustifiably passing right by in antipathy, somehow displeased with the affairs, and yet acting on your own initiative, thereby eliminating (hitpael stem perfect conjugation – for a time, and on their own initiative, moving right past) [‘abar is the basis of Pesach and thus Passover) ‘Atah Mashyach | your Messiah (‘im Mashyach ‘atah – your Anointed, the One set apart and prepared to serve you)!” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:38)

I’m speechless other than to say Yahowah’s phrasing and timing are impeccable. He has affirmed this profound truth so many times and ways it’s befuddling that as few as 504one in a million Yahuwdym acknowledge Dowd, or that five billion Gowym bequeath the Greek variation of this title on another. After enduring 2,000 years of harassment for failing to accept “Jesus” as their Messiah, it turns out Jews were correct. Now it’s time to take the next step and recognize the Mashyach for who he truly is so that the Family can be reconciled.

If you are a descendant of Ya’aqob or Dowd, pause now and reflect upon this. Almost everything religious and secular Jews have claimed regarding Dowd | David, their anticipated Mashyach, and the fulfillment of the Mow’edym, is untrue, upended, and incongruent. Please get with the program and embrace what Dowd represents and then accept the realization that he is not only ha Mashyach | the Messiah but, also, the Son of God who served as the Pesach ‘Ayil. Do not pass over him in an ill-conceived attempt to validate Judaism.

I understand that Yahuwdym have been plagued over the centuries by those who believe Jesus Christ was the Messiah. And because Christians blame Jews for killing their myth, the very idea of the Messiah being the Son of God and fulfilling Pesach is disorienting. And while there never was any rational reason for a Messiah named “Jesus Christ,” no validity to the religion of Christianity, no justification for the New Testament, or credibility in calling oneself a Christian, there has been incalculable harm perpetrated under these delusions.

And while that may have been the most horrific and anti-Semitic fraud ever perpetrated, the truth is sweet revenge. The Messiah was here, and he was the Son of God. He not only fulfilled Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym, one does not have to change his name or upend his identity to accept any one of the many hundreds of prophecies which point to this moment in time.

505Perhaps worse than removing Yahowah’s name 7000 times from His testimony in the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr and replacing it with the Adversary’s title, “the Lord,” this error in judgment and lapse of character has caused more harm to Yahuwdym | Jews than any other. They ought not to have been looking to the future for a Messiah to save them when he had already been the most prominent and protective man in their past. Dowd’s name would not have been changed to “Jesus Christ,” and Christianity’s New Testament would have been stillborn, had the actual identity and purpose of Yahowah’s Messiah been acknowledged by his people.

In that it has been conveyed by Yahowah, let’s affirm a heartbreaking reality: Jews have been their own worst enemy. The hitpael stem, modifying “‘abar – by improperly, and on your own initiative, meddling while presumptuously passing over” your Messiah, proves it. This uncommon stem reveals that the religious have “unjustifiably passed right by him in antipathy, somehow displeased with his affairs, all while acting on their own initiative” and, thus, not God’s. Equally telling, ‘abar is the basis of Pesach and thus Passover, equating the rejection of the Messiah with foregoing the purpose of the Miqra’.

On behalf of Yahuwdah and Yisra’el, even the Gowym who are listening: accept and embrace the Beloved Mashyach and Melek as your brother and as God’s Son, even as your Shepherd – but mostly as your Savior. Listen to Yahowah’s Bachar | Chosen One, the Qadowsh | Set-Apart One of Yisra’el and concur with him because when it comes to God, Dowd is right.

As for religious Jews, it is a perplexing irony. Wearing black and bobbing their heads up and down as if to exorcise their demons, they babble to their nameless G-d in minyan | minions facing a stone wall while reciting Dowd’s Mizmowr from rote. If only they would consider what he had to say instead. If only their heads were not as hard as 506the Edomite’s wall, some of what they recite might actually penetrate their thick skulls. But alas, it is not to be. Dowd’s Mizmowr and Yahowah’s Dabar are for the nonreligious.

It wouldn’t take long for Yahuwdym to hit rock bottom. The fall from Dowd was swift and painful. It began with Solomon capitulating to accommodate the religious interests of his wives and concubines.

Reminding Yisra’el of their fall, and of the religions they begot and those they beguiled, Yahowah declares…

“You have repudiated and renounced (na’ar – you have disavowed, refusing to even acknowledge and actually lack any respect for (piel perfect)) the Covenant (beryth – the Family, Home, and Relationship Agreement) with your coworker (‘ebed ‘atah – of the one doing your work as your official advisor and associate; based upon ‘abad – to work).

You have dishonored and defiled (chalal – You have treated with contempt and desecrated by making common and no longer uniquely special, sullying and polluting (piel perfect)) his dedication (nezer huw’ – his respect and his unparalleled devotion) to the Land (la ha ‘erets).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:39)

When Dowd is renounced, so are the Mow’edym he fulfilled. When Dowd is repudiated, so is the Covenant he enabled. When Dowd is dishonored, the Land to which he was devoted suffers.

What I do not understand and I don’t think Yah does either is, with the conditions of His Covenant so liberating and uplifting, with the benefits so enriching and empowering, and with Him proving that His promises are reliable, why disavow and replace what God is offering? With Dowd so generous, why disavow what he accomplished and reject what he is offering?

507For those who may be protesting, saying that they haven’t repudiated Dowd because they honor David by having chosen to fly a flag emblazoned with his star, may I challenge said assumption by categorically stating that there was never a Star of David and David isn’t his name. Creating a false caricature of a man in this manner degrades his authentic nature.

A little explanation may be helpful as we consider the next statement. The sheepfold whose walls have been torn down represents barriers around the Covenant which were designed to keep the religious, political, conspiratorial, and ignorant out.

“You have broken down and destroyed (parats – you have breached and in hostility shattered, negatively impacting with your opposition to (qal perfect)) his entire sheepfold and all of its walls (kol gaderah huw’ – the entirety of his protective enclosure and its hedges; from gader – the fences put around it and the way he constructed it).

You have caused (sym – you have brought about (qal perfect)) the undoing, the degradation and destruction (machatah – the demolishing and ruination, to the point of disrepair by corrupting; from ma – to question and chata’ – what it means to miss the way) of his fortifications (mibtsar huw’ – of its defensive structure; from batsar – to restrain from gathering, to cut off and make less accessible, withholding access).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:40)

As a rebuke to every religion, Yahowah has deliberately restricted access to His Covenant, effectively keeping the religious and political out. Ignorant or averse to the five instructional terms God set as His conditions for entry, men like Akiba and Paul have sought to annul the Almighty’s intent while projecting their own.

508Let’s be blunt: the Garden of ‘Eden had walls. They were not there to keep ‘Adam and Chawah locked inside as if they were prisoners but, instead, to keep the rest of humankind out because they were religious and did not belong. The Gan | Protective Garden Enclosure of ‘Eden | Great Joy was as the name implies – fun – because the curmudgeons were excluded. And as was ‘Eden, so will be Shamaym. As was God’s relationship with Dowd, so it will be with all of the Covenant’s children. That is why this Mizmowr | Psalm is so important.

Dowd and the Covenant continue to be integrated and indistinguishable, with the Beloved upholding and representing the Family such that an attack on one is an assault on the other.

“All who pass by this way (kol ‘abar derek – everyone crossing this path) plunder him (shasas huw’ – they pillage and ransack him, looting him).

He has become (hayah – he is) scorned and abusively ridiculed, defied and upbraided (cherpah – insulted and held in contempt, even taunted by this disgraceful reproach) by those who claim some affinity with him (la shaken huw’ – by those settling in close proximity, especially nations of people existing all around it and him, even as residents and neighbors).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:41)

Claiming to have an affinity with “David” is common. His name appears in the New Testament, Talmud, and Quran. Similarly, Christians, Jews, and Muslims, with wholly contradictory belief systems, all claim to be Abrahamic religions even though they degrade ‘Abraham’s legacy. Alleging similar origins, their gods share nothing in common. Christians are particularly guilty, lugging around the “Old Testament” with its tribute to Dowd | David around with their revised one which plunders his legacy. They claim an affinity for the boy who slew the 509giant and who sang the 23^rd Psalm, not knowing that it is Yahowah, for whose name’s sake, the song was written.

Then of course, in that they blame Jews for all of their problems, they must deny that he was the most Yahuwd of all men. Even in the Quran, there is an entire surah devoted to “Dauwd.” The only problem is that this imposter was a Muslim and worshiped Allah. Confronted with the Dead Sea Scrolls parchment memorializing this Psalm a thousand years before their religion was invented, I wonder how a literate Muslim would react after seeing Yahowah’s name rather than Allah’s.

Many of those who pass this way ransack the Covenant, ridiculing everything Dowd represents by taking it from him and giving it to themselves or others. They jeopardize countless lives by falsely claiming affinity with either David or the Covenant and then advocating on behalf of their New Testament, Talmud, or Quran. And sadly, many of them have settled in proximity to Yisra’el. Today we know them as the practitioners of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Speaking of the religious, whether they be pilgrims or refugees, crusaders or jihadists, God says…

“You have lifted up and exalted (ruwm – you have raised up and have sought to bring credibility and distinction to, even tried to justify) the upper hand (yamym – the right side, condoning the orientation and good fortune, even the direction) of his foes and adversaries, especially those who try to constrain and limit him (tsar – his opponents narrowing his scope by being contentious and troubling leading to an unfavorable result). You have caused all those who demonstrate animosity and rancor toward him (kol ‘oyeb – you have made the opposition totally) to be delighted (samach – elated).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:42)

510God has made His point. He, as you’d expect of any loving Father, is angry and annoyed by what those who falsely claim to speak for Him have done to denigrate His Son and diminish all He accomplished through him.

It was Jews who gave the upper hand to those who would later seek to destroy them. The four most toxic belief systems were all founded and abetted by Jews: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Socialism.

By their failure to acknowledge that Dowd was the Messiah and Son of God, and that he returned to fulfill Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym as predicted, Yahuwdym opened the door for Christianity. Through their denials, they helped justify Replacement Theology.

For Christianity to differentiate itself from Yahowah and Dowd, from their Towrah and Covenant, enough to become popular with Greeks and Romans, they would need a New Testament. And yet for it to be believable, it would have to borrow heavily from Yahowah’s testimony – claiming its prophecies as their own. Therefore, the new religion proposed that it was authorized by the same god and justified by the same prophecies. But how is that possible when one outcome is so contradictory to the other?

The answer for Christianity became Replacement Theology. This sleight of hand wasn’t simply about assigning the blessings and promises offered by God for Jews to the Gentiles who seek their eradication, it’s about replacing one Covenant with another, and then Yahowah and Dowd with “Jesus.” If you don’t concur, do what I’ve done. After scrutinizing Paul’s renunciation of Dowd for the sake of his “Jesus,” go to any Christian site and read their assessment of every prophecy pertaining to “David.” You’ll find that “Jesus” isn’t named in a single prophecy, but every time Dowd’s name appears, Christians insist that it actually applies to “Christ,” as if God doesn’t know the 511difference between the two names nor is aware of which one He anointed His Mashyach | Messiah.

The problem for Christians was as simple as it is profound. Without the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms, they have no God and no credibility. But with them, they present a jumble of contradictions. Their only hope was for people to believe their lies and for their faith to occlude judgment. They banked upon apathy and ignorance. For the most part, they got it.

And yet today, at least for some, there is a battle for hearts and souls raging throughout the world, a struggle between right and wrong. The loudest voices are of those who claim that they worship religious gods while the chorus of those who stand with Dowd and speak for Yahowah is currently faint among these billions.

“What’s worse, and adding to the resentment (‘aph – all the more to begrudge), you are turned around again (shuwb – you have pivoted such that you are pointed in the opposite direction (hifil imperfect)), having assaulted, besieged, bound up, and constrained the rocky crag (tsuwr – having been adverse to the stone (qal infinitive)) of his battle for Choreb (choreb huw’ – of his fight with sword and chisel for the fire of Yah and revelation of His Towrah) such that (wa) you do not stand with him or support him (quwm huw’ – you do not rise up or take a stand with him (hifil perfect)) in this conflict (ba ha milchamah – in this fight between opposing parties; from lacham – to engage in battle over yeasted bread [4QPs says “for” battle]).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:43)

There is a plethora of tantalizing insights in this statement beginning with the realization that ‘aph’s primary connotation is to engender resentment and wrath. Those who continue to turn against Dowd will endure the sting of his judgment.

512Also interesting, while tsuwr is “translated” as “the edge” in the Jewish Publication Society Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text, it was scribed as a verb. There was no definite article in the text and “edge” is not among tsuwr’s meanings when presented as a noun. Had it been written as a noun, our options would have been “rocky crag, sharp flint, or stone.”

In the qal infinitive, tsuwr is not only active, but it also intensifies the actual and ongoing action of “laying siege, enclosing, binding, and confining in a hostile and harassing fashion.” This makes perfect sense because the perpetrators engendering Dowd’s wrath continue to be the Jewish religious leaders who have sought to constrain the Savior by assaulting his achievements. Further, if we are to read “rocky crag” or “stone” into this depiction, it was upon this sharp rocky edifice that Yahowah first revealed His fiery light to Moseh and then the Children of Yisra’el upon Mount Choreb – where He would also reveal His Towrah. Moreover, it is my contention that Dowd’s Song is the Cornerstone of the Covenant Home and that it was revealed in the Yowbel year of 3000 Yah, 968 BCE, four years into Solomon’s reign as construction began on Yahowah’s Home.

The Hebrew name for the mountain upon which Yahowah introduced Himself to Moseh and then revealed the Towrah is Choreb. Spelled the same way in the text, it also serves as the Hebrew word for “dry and desolate, battle and conflict, sword and chisel.” And while we can choose any definition that works within this context, we are prudent to include each that fits so as not to deprive the reader of the full intent.

In this case, I see Dowd standing between the two mountains of God – Choreb and Mowryah – bringing the Towrah to the heart of the Land and fulfilling it in the City of Dowd. This is not only evident by the King’s marvelous 513dissertation on the Towrah’s Teaching in the 119^th Mizmowr but, also, by his serving as the Pesach ‘Ayil.

There is a battle being waged for the souls of humankind. The religious are on one side and Father and Son are on the other. And while Judaism and Christianity have written Yahowah and Dowd, Choreb and Mowryah, the Towrah and Miqra’ey out of their story, Father and Son are battling to bring them all back to Yisra’el’s attention.

There has been a war of words for the past three thousand years: to Dowd or not to Dowd. It is the ultimate question because where we stand with Dowd characterizes where we stand with God. This war has often erupted in bloody conflict. The two Assyrian and Babylonian conquests, the two Roman wars against the tiny Province of Yahuwdah | Judaea, the abuse Jews have suffered under Roman Catholics during the Crusades, under the Ottomans, by the whole of Europe, by the Nazis and Soviets, and today by Islamic Jihadists and Progressives serve as proof that the world is against Dowd and his people.

With the exception of those who have come to know Yahowah and His beloved Son, many through these books, this remains true of almost everyone else…

“You have truncated, causing a cessation to all of the work (shabath – you have made this like a Sabbath for doing nothing (hifil perfect)), removing and taking away from (min) his purifying brilliance and means to restore, along with his glorious status (tahar huw’ – his majesty and ability to renew, his clear and illuminating approach, especially the means to being purified and pronounced clean).

And his position of honor, dignity, and power (wa kise’ huw’ – his throne, royal authority, and appointed status, even his brilliant adornment) you have hurled to the ground (la magar ha ‘erets – you have thrown into the 514dirt, tossing it from the Land (qal perfect)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:44)

Clearly, God is annoyed. He is disgusted that the beloved Son that He anointed as His Mashyach, the Shepherd He chose to establish His Covenant Family, and the Sacrificial Lamb who opened Heaven’s Door, has been so universally discounted by religious Jews. They have done to Dowd what they have done to the Shabat – reducing both from a celebration of the Covenant relationship to doing nothing. And in this case, by either failing to read the words Yahowah inspired in Dowd's song, or failing to act upon them, religious Jews brought untold misery upon God’s people.

The failure of rabbis to recognize and capitalize upon what Dowd represents and has accomplished is the fulcrum upon which the Jewish people have descended when they should have ascended. They were given the opportunity to restore their relationship with Yahowah and come clean by accepting Dowd’s fulfillment of Chag Matsah. They would have been welcomed back into the Covenant by embracing Dowd’s glorious status as the Chosen Messiah and Glorious Lamb. But the rabbis not only forewent all of this, but they also tossed it all away, hurling Dowd’s dignity to the ground.

Dowd was chosen by Yahowah and anointed with His Spirit at eight years old. And from what we have discovered, his best writing and his most profound spiritual insights were distilled within these Songs when his mind was young and receptive and when he was fraught with the fewest distractions. Over time, the relentless burden of being responsible for miserable ingrates grew wearisome, as it did for Moseh.

“You have cut short, so as to deprive yourselves of what is required to reap the benefits of the harvest (qatsar – you are lacking what is needed by depreciating 515his essential essence) the days (yowmym – the time) when his robust presence was concealed as a young man (‘aluwmym huw’ – when he was vigorous and obscured, manifesting tremendous strength of character (plural); from ‘alam – to cloak and veil, ‘alam – in the past and forevermore, ‘elem – while young).

You have covered over him (‘atah ‘al huw’ – you have enveloped and clad him, enwrapping and veiling him) shamefully by diminishing his status (buwshah – plundering, dishonoring, and dismissing his purpose).

Take a moment and consider the implications (selah – pause now to reflect on this).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:45)

There is a consequence to being wrong, especially when what we believe is in conflict with what Yahowah has made known to us. We cheat ourselves when we deprive Dowd of what rightfully belongs to him because it shortchanges what he can offer us.

In this case, religious Jews are being accused of depriving themselves of what Dowd has provided such that they are not harvestable. They have vigorously obscured what he achieved during the fulfillment of Pesach and Matsah. They do not even acknowledge Dowd’s robust presence in Yaruwshalaim in the Yowbel year of 4000 Yah in 33 CE – even though he provided them with the exact day he would enter the city as their Messiah to fulfill Passover in Daniel 9. Instead of admiring, respecting, and appreciating the Son of God and Sacrificial Lamb, they have veiled him in shame, disgracefully covering over what he achieved and, thereby, dishonoring him.

At this time, the Psalmist asks a rhetorical question for God’s people to ponder.

While the interval of time being questioned was of God’s choosing, being unknown for that long is counter to 516everything He intended. He has done His part, making it relatively easy for those who are serious in their pursuit to become acquainted with Him. He has systematically provided, and simultaneously validated, the authenticity of His revelation to us. Within it, we are given everything we need to know to engage in a relationship with Yahowah, to be invited into His Home as part of His Family. The reason that so few have availed themselves of this marvelous opportunity is that religion and government, militarism and conspirascism, have gotten in the way, obscuring the view and cluttering the path.

“For how long (‘ad mah – until when will the eternal witness and restoring testimony of), Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration), will You remain hidden, concealed, and virtually unknown (sathar – will You be a secret to many)?

Your righteous indignation, overt displeasure, and furious antagonism (chemah ‘atah – Your hostile response to all that is wrong) is kindled and burns (ba’ar – is ignited and ablaze (qal imperfect)) eminently and prominently (la netsach – majestically for an enduring period) like fire (kamow ‘esh – similar to burning flames).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:46)

The last time the majority of Yisra’elites knew Yahowah was 3,000 years ago under Dowd’s initial reign as King. Since that time, and until quite recently, that number dwindled to zero. It would not be until we began to post the Yada Yahowah Series online that this began to change. And to think, the 1.8 million Haredi are so intellectually incapacitated by their rabbis, they will continue to engender Yahowah’s overt antagonism and burning indignation without any hope of future awareness. All the while, they disparage Father and Son by claiming that their appalling religion is righteous.

517These books are labeled Yada Yahowah for a reason. It seems more appropriate to please our God rather than continually antagonize Him. There are already 1,800,000 shrill Jewish voices and another 4,000,000,000 Christians and Muslims fanning the flames of Divine wrath.

Three millennia is a very, very long time – at least by our standards, but perhaps not by God’s. Time does not flow for Him as it does for us. Unlike creatures bound to the earth, Yahowah, as a Spiritual Being, determines how He experiences time, varying the pace of its flow to suit His needs. The nineteen to twenty centuries which have crawled past since the Messiah, Dowd, fulfilled Chag Matsah were so horrid, it’s unlikely God paid attention to anything which occurred during that span.

Fortunately, we have reached the conclusion of this interval. With each word we translate and share, Yahowah becomes less “hidden and unknown” to His people.

When Father and Son return on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations in year 6000 Yah (October 2^nd at sunset, 2033 in Yaruwshalaim), He will be known to the extent it is possible. Not surprisingly, that is the stated purpose for His Choter | Sucker, His Nakry | Observant Foreigner, and His Nes | Banner. Moreover, within 7 years of this writing in 2033, we can expect ‘ElYah | Yah is God | Elijah and Yada | He Knows to arrive and let the world know in no uncertain terms just how displeased God is with humankind.

And now it gets personal, as it should with all of us…

“You have chosen to remind me (zakar ‘any – Your will is to recall this information and these events to me, asserting these truths for me (qal imperative second-person masculine singular)) to ask about the duration of life in this world and temporary things by contrast to eternity, especially how time flows differently relative to the observer (mah cheled – what is one lifetime and how long 518will things continue to transpire in this world at the present pace).

Was it for nothing (‘al mah shawa’ – was it for this worthless religious vanity) that You created (bara’ – that You conceived and brought into existence once upon a time (qal perfect)) each of the sons of ‘Adam (kol beny ‘adam – all of humankind)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:47)

Yahowah chose to share these events and this information about Dowd with the wisest member of Solomon’s counsel. He did so in the Yowbel year of 3000 Yah, 968 BCE at the commencement of the construction of His Home. As a result, this Mizmowr has become the Cornerstone of the Covenant.

Revealed in the exact center of mankind’s journey out of the Garden and back to ‘Eden, Dowd’s Song serves as a marker in time. One thousand years to the day, on Passover in year 4000 Yah, God’s Beloved Son served as the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb and fulfilled Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym to redeem his people and enable the Covenant’s blessings. Forty Yowbel thereafter he would return to reconcile the remnant of Yisra’el on Yowm Kipurym.

The thought of the Messiah suffering in this manner is hard to fathom from our perspective – but not from his Father’s or his in His company. What are two hellish days compared to an eternity with one’s Family? The anguishing memory of the sacrifice would pass while the Covenant he enabled would endure forever.

The three epochs of 40 Yowbel, each lasting 2,000 years, may seem like an interminable period, however, for God, and for those with Him in the Spiritual Realm of the Heavens of the 7^th dimension, it equates to the blink of the eye. Time is relative, albeit not here for us, not now.

519The period from the expulsion from ‘Eden to the affirmation of the Covenant with ‘Abraham allowing us to reenter would be forty Yowbel. Another 2,000 years would pass from our perspective looking back until Father and Son delivered the benefits of the Covenant by fulfilling Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children to enable the enriching and emancipating experience of Seven Sevens. And from the fulfillment of the first three Mow’ed in year 4000 Yah to the return of Father and Son the final epoch of 40 Yowbel would pass, bringing us to 2033 CE – less than 10 years from now.

This is the duration of things, God’s timing as these events play out and we witness them. So much of it revolves around Dowd – the Messiah, Son of God, and Passover Lamb – that this Song was written to commemorate him and them.

Rest assured, Yahowah did not conceive humankind for us to be religious and antagonistic. Therefore, to save us from ourselves, Father and Son resolved the issues which separate us and composed these lyrics to showcase their resolve.

As we have discovered, Yahowah initiates the relationships He desires to form, leaving our response subject to our own freewill. He picks and chooses from among the few men and women He has encountered along life’s way such that those He reaches out to must amuse Him, impress Him, or just pique His interests in some way. And yet, they all have something in common, in that each one has walked away from religion and politics prior to Yah’s introduction. They were all willing to listen, even go where He was leading.

Freewill works both ways. Yahowah has it and so do we. It’s His universe and His home and He is entitled to invite whomever He pleases to spend eternity with Him in it as long as He is consistent in His approach. That isn’t to 520say that it is impossible to find Yahowah independently, but as the previous statement suggests, God is hidden from most.

The reason so few know Him is because men like Paul have plagued the world with their lies. So just as Sha’uwl was called out by name and condemned as the Plague of Death in Chabaquwq | Habakkuk, the Son of Evil is similarly identified in the 89^th Mizmowr | Psalm. He authored the New Testament’s fourteen most deadly tomes and inspired almost everything else. And if that were not bad enough, in response to his demonic appeal, Akiba and company would conceive Judaism in rebuttal.

“What man of great strength and character, empowered to prevail (my geber – who, as the most capable and courageous of men) lives (chayah – is actually and continually alive (qal imperfect third-person masculine singular)) and (wa) will not witness (wa lo’ ra’ah – will not see (qal imperfect third-person masculine singular)) death as a result of the plague (maweth – dying from the pandemic disease which infects and destroys a great many people (piel imperfect third-person masculine singular)), saving his soul (malat nepesh huw’ – delivering and sparing his consciousness, rescuing his inner nature (piel imperfect third-person masculine singular)) from the hand and influence (min yad – from the effects and acts) of Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl – Question Him, the Benjamite wolf in sheep’s clothing who as a result of being demon-possessed changed his name to reflect his affinity with Rome, becoming Paul, the principal author of the Christian New Testament, the Father of Lies and the Son of Evil)?

Pause now and consider what this implies (selah – take the time required to contemplate the implications).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:48)

Every verb, and there were four in this question, was scribed in the third-person masculine singular, designating 521a single man as the subject. And he is the one initially presented as a geber | great man, a person of courage and character, imbued with the strength to prevail. God is, therefore, addressing His Son who is very much alive. And while he would experience the death of his corporeal body twice, once from old age and the other at the torturous hands of Rome, mankind’s most acclaimed civilization, his soul endures. It has and will never experience death.

Moreover, Dowd is the antidote for the toxic venom spewed from Sha’uwl’s | Paul’s poison pen. He was not only immune to the Plague of Death, but he is also providing the antibodies with which to fight the viruses of Christianity and Judaism. So, while many are saved by what he accomplished, he is the only one who offers salvation.

Let’s be clear, this is addressing Sha’uwl, the man, not She’owl, the place. She’owl does not have hands or influence. This place of separation can neither plague us nor kill us. In fact, She’owl, as the place of eternal incarceration, is the antithesis of death for those who endure it. As a Black Hole, nothing reaches out from She’owl.

However, it was the hand of Sha’uwl which wrote the fourteen epistles which have plagued mankind. It is under his influence that Christianity was conceived and popularized among Gowym. He is the master manipulator behind diminishing Dowd’s influence, the hand that has sought to denigrate the Messiah, Son of God, and Passover Lamb such that he could replace him.

Sha’uwl | Paul has plagued far more people than the billions of souls who were coerced or beguiled into placing their faith in the religion he fathered at the behest of Satan. Without the Son of Evil and the Father of Lies, Gowym would not have come to blame or hate Jews sufficiently to cause Rome (which was where Paul’s allegiance lay) to 522massacre and enslave the Chosen People, robbing Yahuwdym of their homeland. The Roman Catholic Church, which was based on Paul’s letters, would not have propagated the anti-Semitic culture and conspiracies which culminated in the Holocaust without Paul’s jealousy and covetousness. Muhammad, likewise, would never have succeeded in establishing a religion predicated upon anti-Semitism without the foundation laid by his predecessor. And without Paul’s propensity to promote a cult following and promulgate ignorance and irrationality such that they became commonplace, and indeed, established as politically correct, the growth of Multicultural Socialist Secular Humanism would have been truncated in the West. The entire impetus behind liberal politics was sanctioned by Paul on behalf of the Romans to impose and integrate religion and government.

Sha’uwl | Paul has become the Chosen People’s fiercest and most embittered adversary. He is responsible for the death of more souls than anyone who has ever lived. To escape his grasp is difficult, and often impossible, as the integrated religious and political scheme he concocted (read Romans 13) has tread upon the entire world – suppressing truth and impeding freedom. He will endure eternity in She’owl, and His Replacement Theology will die at the hand of Dowd, the man whose life and lyrics he sought to disparage. And while I have begged for the opportunity to convict him, it’s Mizmowr like this which will be brought to bear against him. Dowd will get the debate he has sought. And the outcome is written in stone. Sha’uwl will become synonymous with the place whose name he shares: She’owl | Hell.

“Where (‘ayeh – posing a rhetorical question regarding an individual’s position) is Your unwavering love and enduring favoritism (chesed ‘atah – Your devotion to the familial relationship and unfailing kindness, Your genuine affection and merciful treatment) 523which was expressed first and foremost in the beginning (ri’shown – as the initial priority, as the most important consideration of what was occurring from the start, preceding this and of old) which You promised (shaba’ – You truthfully proclaimed and affirmed as part of Your binding oath on seven occasions) to Dowd | the Beloved (la Dowd – to love and be loved in return), in harmony with Your steadfast commitment to being trustworthy and reliable (‘emuwnah ‘atah – by way of Your honesty and dependability, by being completely truthful, genuine, and real such that You can be trusted and relied upon), my Upright One (‘edown ‘any – my Upright Pillar, addressing the vertical beam which secures and enlarges a home, especially the Tent of the Enduring Witness)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:49)

When we read a question in an inspired text such as this, the prophet not only knows the answer, but he has already provided it. Such is the case here with ‘emuwnah | trustworthy and dependable presented throughout Dowd’s Song and repeated within this question. Therefore, because Yahowah is consistent and forthright, He is reliable. The things which He has favored from the beginning are the things He loves. These would include being creative and enjoying an active and conversational relationship with humankind in a pristine environment. And since the formation of the Beryth | Covenant with ‘Abraham and Sarah is the dominant theme of Bare’syth | Genesis, the Family is Yahowah’s first love.

This is underscored by the realization that the remainder of the Towrah is focused on liberating the Children of Yisra’el from human religious and political oppression, then teaching and guiding them so that they might come home and live with their Father. However, since it takes two to Tango, and Yisra’elites could not refrain from stumbling over themselves in a nauseating fashion, Yah returned to His original preference, which 524was to form and enjoy an individual and personal relationship with one man!

God chose Dowd | the Beloved. He became His Bakowr | Firstborn Son. And through this single solitary life, the entire story of Yisra’el and the Covenant is relived, retold, and resolved!

Rather than give up on people, God worked alongside the best among us. And even then, as it was with ‘Adam, he was unsteady, at one moment soaring into the Heavens and in the next stumbling on Earth. But this time would be different because of the attributes Dowd manifested. He was brilliant and articulate, a voracious reader and voluminous writer, God’s most learned student and most effective teacher. Dowd achieved where ‘Adam failed. He not only paid attention and valued Yah’s advice, but he also understood it and shared what he had come to comprehend with us.

Under Dowd’s guidance, Yisra’el was united in God’s home. They were protected and thrived, at least until they lost focus and stumbled once again and fell. This time, however, Dowd, recognizing that he had become part of the problem, solved it once and for all. He realized what has taken us a score of years to learn – although, to our credit, we are the first since Zakaryah and Mal’aky to share his conclusion with his people.

While confirming the Covenant on Mowryah, and in the midst of a discussion between Father and Son, Dowd understood that there had been a promise. He recognized that in the Yowbel year of 2000 Yah, as a harbinger of Passover, God said that He would provide the lamb.

Dowd further realized that the Pesach ‘Ayil had also been instrumental in providing life and liberty for the Children of Yisra’el in Mitsraym. He read that on Matsah, they had walked out of the realm of religious and political oppression. He saw that they were reborn into the Covenant 525as they emerged from the sea. And as a bright lad, he rightly concluded that the Towrah’s enriching enlightenment had been initially offered during Shabuw’ah. The stage was set for the fulfillment of the first three Miqra’ey at a later date – presumably 40 Yowbel from the day of the promise in year of 4000 Yah.

Having written the ultimate treatise on the Towrah in his 119^th Mizmowr, Dowd would have understood as we have, that with the fulfillment of the first three Mow’ed, the benefits of the Beryth would be assured. So, he manned up, gibowr-ed in God’s parlance, and volunteered to do the right thing. His basar | corporeal body became the Passover Lamb while his nepesh | soul carried Yisra’el’s guilt into She’owl, depositing it there, never to be seen again. The Father’s Firstborn was Bikuwrym-ed, living up to his title while fulfilling Chag Matsah. The Covenant was now firmly established. Its benefits were reliably provided. Problem resolved. Thanks to Father and Son, those who accept their gift would live forever, perfected and adopted, enriched, and empowered.

The geber would prevail given three lives, his soul and ours saved. Heaven’s Door was opened. Our relationship was reconciled. We were invited back into the Gan ‘Eden.

Since he clearly understood what I’m sharing with you, I’d like to quote my favorite prophet…

“For indeed (ky – because truly, emphasizing this statement while revealing an important contrast), a child (yeled – a boy, an infant who grows up to become a man; from yalad – brought forth) was born (yalad – was conceived and brought into view through a woman impregnated by the father of the child at a moment in time (pual perfect passive)) before us (la ‘anachnuw – to, for, and among us), a son (ben – a male descendant, the masculine offspring of a mother and father) was provided as a gift and placed (nathan – was given and produced at 526a point in time, appointed and bestowed (nifal perfect passive)) concerning us (la ‘anachnuw – on our behalf, regarding our approach).

The opportunity to learn what can be known about how to engage and endure in addition to the responsibility and authority to lead (wa misrah – sovereignty; from my – to ponder the implications of sarah – having the power to exert oneself, to contend, to persist, and to persevere) was and will be (wa hayah – has been, continues to be, and will actually exist with ongoing implications (qal imperfect active)) on his shoulder and predicated upon the eagerness in which he pursued his calling early in his life (‘al shekem huw’ – on his back based upon a continued succession of events transpiring upon his ridgeline).

His name, reputation, and renown (wa shem huw’ – his personal and proper designation) has been read and recited as (qara’ – was invited and summoned as, was called out and welcomed as, was met with and proclaimed as, and was read aloud and announced as (qal perfect)): a counselor providing valuable advice (yow’ets / ya’ats – one who offers direction and thought-provoking guidance to deliberate, an analyst who proposes and reveals the purpose of the plan, a mentor who speaks out and urges those who listen to follow his guidance and thinking because it is thoughtful and reasonable) who is astoundingly brilliant and amazingly insightful (pele’ – who is marvelous, wonderful, and distinguished, surpassing all others, set apart and separating, influential and fantastic, as well as prophetic), a valiant and heroic individual with a prominent military and political standing in the community, the most capable, competent, and courageous man (gibowr – a powerful person who prevails, a proven defender, and a champion confirming the influence and strengthening nature) of God (‘el – of the Almighty), an eternal witness providing 527restoring testimony (‘ed – an observant and meticulous individual providing everlasting evidence from long ago, sharing proof which is reaffirming, an eyewitness back in time conveying and memorializing information regarding the perpetual and continued existence) for the Father (‘ab – of the progenitor, originator and male caregiver and provider), the leader who conveys the authorized position (ha sar – the ruler who acts and delivers, who has the authority and power to prevail with regard to representing the official stance on) on reconciliation and restoration leading to salvation (shalowm – on the blessings of restitution and redemption, on peace and prosperity, on satisfaction and favoritism, on association and friendship, regarding restored health and prosperity, on safety and being complete, regarding lacking nothing, on contentment and companionship), (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:6) tremendously increasing (rab – abundantly, greatly, and extensively, plentifully and totally, to the largest extent possible on the scale of spatial dimensions amplifying and growing) the ability to learn about and respond to (lam – providing the information and imparting the instruction learned as a student, teaching how to become familiar with the guidance needed to accept by diligently studying and then explaining the pattern and plan, as a student eager to learn who is taught by another, having received clear and compelling revelations so as to be prepared to intelligently convey; contracted from lamad – to teach and learn, gaining information through instruction and then responding appropriately to) the means to engage and endure, to be liberated and empowered (ha misrah – choosing to understand by questioning the who, what, where, why, when, and how of that which pertains to persisting and persevering, of being set free and being empowered; a compound of my – to probe and question sarah – the means to engage and endure, to contend, to be liberated, and to be empowered as Yisra’el).

528As a result of this approach (wa la – then adding these things together, collectively, therefore and accordingly, facilitating this direction), reconciliation and restoration, complete satisfaction and total contentment (shalowm – the blessings of an entirely favorable circumstance leading to overwhelming prosperity, friendship, and affection, tranquility and companionship, safety and salvation from harm’s way, as well as deliverance, resulting in a free, healthy, and satisfying relationship) will be without end (‘ayn qets – will never cease or be negated, and are unbounded and limitless, without constraint) upon the throne (‘al kise’ – before the seat of honor in association with the high status of the dignified and empowering garment, the source of power adorning and covering the royal authority) of Dowd (Dowd – the Beloved), as well as (wa – in addition) upon his kingdom through his considered advice and counsel (‘al mamlakah huw’– as a result of his sovereign authority and reign over his realm, and on account of his thoughtful guidance and assistance; from malak – to reign by providing considered and intelligent advice and instruction, directions and counsel) so as to be prepared and established by it (la kuwn ‘eth hy’ – authenticated and authorized by it to become steadfast, ready and supported through it, deciding and concluding to approach regarding it (hifil infinitive)), and (wa) to be restored and sustained by it (wa la sa’ad huw’ – to be renewed and upheld through it, to be strengthened and supported by it, and to make it safe and secure, refreshing it with the most favorable and nourishing sustenance), with the means to exercise good judgment and justly resolve disputes (ba mishpat – as part of a plan to decide, as a prescription based upon an official proclamation depicting how the Judge will determine each case, remaining completely fair and yet consistent; from my – to ponder the implications of shaphat – deciding, judging, being discriminating, and resolving controversies) by (wa ba) being right (tsadaqah – being 529correct, fair, and just, acquitting and vindicating, honest and blameless, innocent and in full accord with the standard) from then to now (min ‘atah – beginning congruent with the events being depicted, right now and thus coinciding with this narration, simultaneous with this rational declaration) and forevermore (wa ‘ad ‘owlam – throughout all time, eternally).

The deep devotion and passion (qin’ah – the zeal and fervor for exclusivity, strong desire to accomplish something special, and ardent love and jealousy) of Yahowah (Yahowah) of the vast array of spiritual implements (tsaba’ – of the host of heavenly messengers and envoys) has consistently engaged to make this happen (‘asah zo’th – has caused this to continuously occur, having always done what was required, such that He will act accordingly to accomplish this, fashioning this result, continuing to perform in this way (qal imperfect)).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:7)

Yasha’yah and the Mizmowr are hand and glove. They are most useful when brought together. And so, it is from that perspective the Song of the Son elucidates Isaiah’s most acclaimed prophecy regarding the Son of God.

The Poem of Insights to Contemplate and Comprehend by being circumspect by ‘Eythan | the Productive and Established, Profuse and Enduring ‘Ezrachy | Beloved Native-Born Strong Arm who is cherished, concludes…

“My Upright One (‘edown ‘any – my Upright Pillar and Foundation, addressing the vertical beam which secures and enlarges a home, especially the Tent of the Enduring Witness), You remember and have chosen to mention that You are mindful of (zakar – You recall and never forget to proclaim the truth (qal imperative)) the contemptible and condescending taunts and the dishonorable and deplorable decrees which were 530determined (cherpah – the disgraceful slurs and harmful insults, the reprehensible decisions and supposedly authorized judgments which were appalling (piel perfect)) by all of the many nations and preponderance of the people (kol rabym ‘am – by the totality of the human family, by every ethnicity, and by the most exalted of countries) against those who work with You (‘ebed ‘atah – Your coworkers, associates, authorized individuals, and servants who labor along with You) which I have now brought to bear (nasa’ ‘any – I have carried forward and have endured) in my best judgment (ba heq – from my chest which is the place my core values reside). (Mizmowr 89:50)

That is because (‘asher – revealing their relationships and way) those in open opposition to You (‘oyeb ‘atah – Your enemies and adversaries, those who show their animosity, enmity, and rancor toward You), Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), are insulting with their bewildering derision and improperly discerned contempt, so as to discredit in an abusive manner (‘asher charaph – they are defiant and evil, causing people to think irrationally, confounding them through blasphemy (piel perfect)) the footsteps (‘aqeb – the unwavering and reliable movements and willingness to dig in his heels) of Mashyach ‘Atah | Your Messiah (mashyach ‘atah – Your Anointed). (Mizmowr 89:51)

Blessed by having knelt down in love to lift up is (barak – commended and favored are the circumstances and result of the excellent words and example of) Yahowah (Yahowah) forevermore (la ‘owlam – for all eternity).

This is trustworthy, verifiable, and reliable (‘aman wa ‘aman – this is correct and true, affirmed and supported, 531established, readily acceptable, clearly stated, and dependable).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:52)

Many would lead God’s people astray, but one would save them. Many have been wrong, but one was right.

Our questions have all been answered, but one remains for you. What are you going to do about it?

“But now (wa) you, yourselves, have refused to accept, creating a foul stench by snubbing (zanach), such that (wa) you have rejected by diminishing the merit of, even spurning over time by repudiating the essence of (ma’as), improperly, and on your own initiative, meddling while presumptuously passing over (‘abar) ‘Atah Mashyach | your Messiah (‘im Mashyach ‘atah)! (Mizmowr 89:38)

You have repudiated and renounced (na’ar) the Covenant (beryth) with your coworker (‘ebed ‘atah). You have dishonored and defiled (chalal) his dedication and devotion (nezer huw’) to the Land (la ha ‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:39)

You have broken down and destroyed (parats) his entire sheepfold and all of its walls (kol gaderah huw’). You have caused (sym) the undoing, the degradation and destruction (machatah) of his fortifications (mibtsar huw’). (Mizmowr 89:40)

All who pass by this way (kol ‘abar derek) plunder him (shasas huw’). He has become (hayah – he is) scorned and abusively ridiculed, defied and upbraided 532(cherpah) by those who claim some affinity with him (la shaken huw’). (Mizmowr 89:41)

You have lifted up and exalted, even helped justify (ruwm), the upper hand (yamym) of his foes and adversaries, especially those who try to constrain and limit him (tsar). You have caused all those who demonstrate animosity and rancor toward him (kol ‘oyeb) to be delighted (samach). (Mizmowr 89:42)

What’s worse, and adding to the resentment (‘aph), you are turned around again (shuwb), having assaulted, besieged, bound up, and constrained the rocky crag (tsuwr) of his battle for Choreb (choreb huw’) such that (wa) you do not stand with him or support him (quwm huw’) in this conflict over yeasted bread (ba ha milchamah). (Mizmowr 89:43)

You have truncated, causing a cessation to all of the work as if a Sabbath to do nothing (shabath), thereby removing and taking away from (min) his purifying brilliance and means to restore, along with his glorious status (tahar huw’).

And his position of honor, dignity, brilliant adornment, powerful presence, and throne (wa kise’ huw’) you have hurled to the ground (la magar ha ‘erets). (Mizmowr 89:44)

You have cut short, so as to deprive yourselves of what is required to reap the benefits of the harvest (qatsar) during the time (yowmym) when his robust presence was concealed and vigorously obscured as a young man in the past and now affecting the future (‘aluwmym huw’).

You have covered over him, veiling him (‘atah ‘al huw’) shamefully by diminishing his status in a dismissive and dishonorable fashion (buwshah).

533Take a moment and consider the implications (selah). (Mizmowr 89:45)

For how long (‘ad mah), Yahowah (Yahowah), will You remain hidden, concealed, and virtually unknown – a secret to many (sathar)?

Your righteous indignation, overt displeasure, and furious antagonism (chemah ‘atah) is kindled and burns (ba’ar) eminently and prominently for an enduring period (la netsach) like fire (kamow ‘esh – similar to burning flames). (Mizmowr 89:46)

Your will is to recall this information and these events to me, asserting these truths (zakar ‘any) to ask about the duration of life in this world and temporary things by contrast to eternity, especially to explain how time flows differently relative to the observer to appreciate how long will things continue to transpire in this world at the present pace (mah cheled).

Was it for nothing but the resulting religious vanity (‘al mah shawa’) that You created (bara’) each of the sons of ‘Adam and humankind (kol beny ‘adam)? (Mizmowr 89:47)

What man of great strength and character, empowered to prevail as the most capable and courageous of men (my geber) lives (chayah) and (wa) will not witness (wa lo’ ra’ah) death as a result of the plague (maweth), saving his soul (malat nepesh huw’) from the hand and influence (min yad) of Sha’uwl (Sha’uwl)?

Pause now and consider what this implies (selah). (Mizmowr 89:48)

Where (‘ayeh) is Your unwavering love and enduring favoritism (chesed ‘atah) which was expressed first and foremost as the initial priority from the beginning (ri’shown) which You promised (shaba’) to 534Dowd | the Beloved (la Dowd) in harmony with Your steadfast commitment to being trustworthy and reliable (‘emuwnah ‘atah), my Upright One (‘edown ‘any)? (Mizmowr 89:49)

My Upright One (‘edown ‘any), You remember and have chosen to mention that You are mindful of (zakar) the contemptible and condescending taunts and the dishonorable and deplorable decrees which were determined (cherpah) by all of the many nations and preponderance of the people (kol rabym ‘am) against those who work with You (‘ebed ‘atah) which I have now brought to bear (nasa’ ‘any) in my best judgment (ba heq). (Mizmowr 89:50)

This is because (‘asher) those in open opposition to You (‘oyeb ‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah), are insulting with their bewildering derision and improperly discerned contempt, so as to discredit in an abusive manner (‘asher charaph) the footsteps (‘aqeb) of Mashyach ‘Atah | Your Messiah (mashyach ‘atah). (Mizmowr 89:51)

Blessed by having knelt down in love to lift up is (barak) Yahowah (Yahowah) forevermore (la ‘owlam). This is trustworthy, verifiable, and reliable, established, correct, and acceptable (‘aman wa ‘aman).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 89:52)

We have completed our reading of Dowd’s Song, but we are just beginning to appreciate its implications.
