Dowd
…Beloved

Voice
The King’s Herald…
The ordeal Dowd withstood to deliver the benefits of the Covenant would be so horrific that only one prophet was allowed to present what his basar | body and nepesh | soul endured to fulfill Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym. And while there is much discussion of his magnanimous act throughout the Prophets, the agonizing details were foretold exclusively in the 22nd and 88th Mizmowr. And in them, it is evident that Dowd, as the author, was more than an onlooker to sacrifices that would redeem his people.
It would be tough duty, and it would take its toll, even on the most courageous and valiant of men. It likely affected everything Dowd would experience and share from the moment he envisioned his role in our redemption and put pen to parchment to compose these Psalms. They serve as the only eyewitness accounts of Roman crucifixion – which was how the Passover Lamb was slaughtered. His Mizmowr also presents what he experienced in She’owl | Hell to perfect his family.
And while both the 22nd and 88th Psalms are presented elsewhere in the books carrying the YAHOWAH brand, in due time, we will cover them again in Coming Home. But for now, I want to stay the course a while longer and continue to pursue the Mizmowr in the order they are currently presented. To appreciate the reason that this is important, in the 29th Mizmowr, Dowd speaks of the lone individual giving Voice to his sacrifice.
80Having celebrated the magnificent and revealing, indeed, life-altering, 28th Psalm, let’s turn to the 29th Mizmowr. It was, of course, scribed by the Messiah and Son of God, our Savior and King, Dowd.
This exceedingly unique Song begins…
“A Song (Mizmowr) of Dowd (la Dowd – concerning the Beloved).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29 Dedication)
These lyrics come with an impeccable pedigree. And as we would expect, the subject is of monumental importance. And yet, this is a thinking man’s Song because comprehension is only possible by making the proper connections.
For example, the prevailing verb in the Song’s opening chorus, yahab, is introduced in a loving manner in Bare’syth / Genesis 29:21. There, Ya’aqob tells his father-in-law that he has earned the right to be intimate with his wife, who he expected to be Rachel but turned out to be Leah because of Laban’s deceitful switcheroo. Although, it worked out well in the end because Leah would become the true Mother of Yahuwdah and Yisra’el.
Since yahab is defined by context, it can be rendered as “come and ascribe, give and bestow, bring and offer.” Other options include “to give and take or to choose and grant.” It is also interesting to note that Yahab opens with Yahowah’s name and concludes with a contraction of ‘ab | father. So, with this in mind, here is the opening line…
“You should care sufficiently to ascribe (yahab – you all should want to come, offer, and bestow, giving (qal imperative, second person plural)) the Children of God (beny ‘el) to Yahowah (la Yahowah).
You should want to come by offering and bestowing to (yahab la – should care and want to give, choosing to ascribe to (qal imperative, second person plural)) Yahowah (Yahowah) honor and respect (kabowd – 81glory, splendor, power, and significant rewards) as well as (wa) the strength to do as intended and necessary (‘oz – the boldness and might to prevail). (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:1)
You should care enough that you want to give (yahab la – you all should want to come, offer, and bestow to (qal imperative, second person plural)) Yahowah (Yahowah) the honor and respect due (kabowd – the glory and splendor, the significance and distinction afforded to) His name (shem huw’ – His designation and renown).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:2 in part)
The Children of God are Yahowah’s. He is our Father, just as Yahab implies. We are Covenant.
Since Yahowah is offering the Children of the Covenant the ultimate reward, empowering and enriching us, the least we can do is appreciate Him for doing so. At the same time, we would be wise to acknowledge that God has the power and authority to do as He intends. And when it comes to His Family, He has promised more than we can even imagine.
Yahowah’s name appears in every verse of the Messiah’s Song, often twice per refrain. Dowd knows that honoring and respecting ha shem are essential. While the first step to God is away from religion, the second is incorporating Yahowah’s personal and proper, indeed, essential and wonderful name into one’s life.
In this regard, among the two most challenging obstacles impeding Yisra’el’s return to Yahowah through embracing Dowd is an all-consuming Jewish aversion to pronouncing God’s name. Second to this is that, even with the last three thousand years of their history drenched in blood and agony, Jews remain captive to the ways of the rabbis who have led them away from Yahowah and to their doom throughout the millennia.
82And yet, when we consider the lives and lyrics of the man chosen by God, anointed by God, loved and engaged more than any other by God, he proudly sang and scribed Yahowah’s beautiful name. The King treasured ha shem above all else.
So, how could it be possible that the Prophet and Messiah of Yahowah was wrong, and the rabbis of the Talmud of Judaism are somehow right? Rationally, there isn’t a single chance in the eternity of hell that the rabbis and Judaism are correct and Yahowah’s inspired word is invalid regarding ha shem and ben ‘elohym.
With this in mind, and with yahab reading like “Yahowah is our Father,” the opening line of the 29th Mizmowr could well have been rendered, “When we care about Yahowah as our Father, we are ascribed and given the status of (yahab la) Children of God (beny ‘el)) by Yahowah (Yahowah). With Yahowah as our Father, we come to (yahab la) honor and respect (kabowd) Yahowah’s (Yahowah) strength to do as intended and (‘oz). Then, to take the first step in the right direction, you should care sufficiently to want to give, choosing to ascribe to (yahab la) Yahowah (Yahowah) the honor and respect due (kabowd) His name (shem huw’).”
Yisra’el, stop being so retarded and obnoxious over ha shem ‘elohym. He told you in His Towrah that it was and will always be Yahowah. Until Yahuwdym acknowledge Yahowah’s shem, He will not acknowledge them.
The next line in Dowd’s Song was sung under the direction of the hitpael stem and imperative mood. This reveals that, while it is our choice, we would be wise to respond to Yahowah in a manner that is independent of religious, political, cultural, or family influences.
“On your own initiative, apart from any societal influences, choose to make an announcement to explain (chawah – you should want to independently declare and 83expound upon (hitpael imperative second person plural)) the approach to (la – drawing near and concerning) Yahowah (Yahowah) which is set apart in glorious splendor and majesty (ba hadarah qodesh – beautifully adorned and unique, uncommon, and separate).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:2)
Just as we were individually conceived and born, we must stride from the material to the spiritual realm independently. Human religious and political customs are like a spider’s web, trapping the aspirant such that they grow tired and give up long before breaking free, only to be paralyzed and then devoured.
And in this regard, when we break free and begin our journey to Yahowah, there comes a time when we will be asked to explain what we have done and why we have done so. God wants us to announce and expound upon His role in our lives. Our silence would be selfish and counterproductive when compared to the glorious splendor of what Yahowah is offering.
Speaking of making this pronouncement, and of being the most independent spokesperson in the universe, of boldly announcing the influence of Yahowah’s name, the extent of His Son’s acclaim, and the majesty of God’s aim, the remainder of the Mizmowr is devoted to God’s Qowl | Voice. He is the one devoted to reintroducing Yahowah’s shem and restoring His Son’s reputation among His people.
We know this to be true because, apart from the Prophets, God stopped speaking directly to the Children of Yisra’el 460 years prior to the time this Song was scribed and 3,472 years before Coming Home Dowd ~ Beloved was written. And as we shall soon see, Yahowah has ascribed the characteristics of a bull to the man speaking to His people on His behalf. And in his service as the Red Heifer, his body will be over and above the cleansing waters cascading off the Temple Mount. Dowd is, therefore, 84introducing his Basar | Herald…
“The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) is over and above (‘al – is on and in proximity to) the waters (ha maym) of God (‘el – the Almighty).
The glorious presence and magnificent reward (kabowd – the honor and respect) of Yahowah (Yahowah) is resounding and thunderous (ra’am – loudly roars) over, around, and above (‘al – on and in proximity to) the abundant waters (maym rab).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:3)
The waters associated with the Qowl of Yahowah emerge within the Temple Mount and under the sacrifice of the ‘Adamah Parah | Productive Man serving as the Red Heifer. These cleansing and purifying waters cascade off of Mount Mowryah, down the ridgeline of Tsyown, throughout Yaruwshalaim, and to the eastern and western seas.
In this pronouncement, we have two options: one of which is true and the other may be accurate as well. Yahowah, now just ten days from His return, and with the means to prepare His People for His arrival in place, He will break His silence. This means that He will be adding His voice to that of His prophet ‘ElYah, who will be serving as Master of Ceremonies during the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. It is a role he played to perfection two millennia 888 years earlier.
The reason that I suspect that the mortal remnant of His People will actually hear God’s own voice at this time is because He will have returned to miracle mode. He will not only have produced a majestic display of Show-and-Tell in the sky above ‘ElYah and Yada as they have voiced His message, He will have opened the floodgates below my body to cleanse His People and then will have ignited the fire, consuming it to enlighten them while incinerating 85their guilt.
For the first time in 3,480 years, when Yahuwdym told Yahowah that they never wanted to see His flame or hear His voice again, they will be reconciled to observe and listen now. And if not now, when?
Additionally, Yahowah will have orchestrated the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. My death prevails because of Him, and apart from Him, it’s just a brutal murder. Yahowah wants His people to dance in these waters.
As for the clue that Dowd has provided, saying that “the glorious presence and magnificent reward of Yahowah is thunderous over the abundant waters,” this may infer that God is making Himself seen and heard as He did at the beginning of the Exodus, in Voice and Flame. But it could also mean that once my nepesh | soul is released from the bludgeoned basar | body, I will speak loudly of the great reward Yahowah is offering to the remnant of Yisra’el through my death as the Red Heifer. And that is the other option, that I will speak to Yisra’el as a voice above the waters and flames, calling them home one last time.
So that you can envision what is going to occur, after 3½ years of ‘ElYah and myself speaking from atop the Temple Mount to all who will listen, on the morning following the Taruw’ah Gleaning of Yisra’elites, I will release the mal’ak who have been protecting me. I will then invite ha Satan, now in corporeal form, to do as he has long desired – which is to silence me by killing me. I will taunt him, just as did Dowd with Goliath, the foul-mouthed, uncircumcised Philistine. By striking and killing me, Satan not only demonstrates his morbid fascination with death, but he will unleash the means for Yisra’el to endure.
I suspect that this scene will play out for all to see on the southern end of the Temple Mount, overlooking the City of Dowd, and in the shadow of where the repulsive 86
Al-Aqsa Mosque once stood. It will be followed by a solar eclipse, at which time, ‘ElYah will move my beaten body to where the approach to the First Temple once stood. He will follow Yahowah’s instructions as laid out in Numbers 19, which commence with sprinkling some of my blood in the direction of the Tabernacle, which will have served as our residence. Then he will place cedar planks beneath my bloody carcass, as is addressed in the Towrah and in this Psalm. Yahowah will unleash the waters and ignite the flame.
Therefore, if Yahowah allows my nepesh to speak over the sacrifice of my basar, then adding His to mine, it will be just as He did with Moseh before the Children of Yisra’el when last they spoke. Coming full circle, and returning to where things began, is one of Yahowah’s most endearing proclivities. It is the sign of a thoughtful playwright.
As we move on to Dowd’s next pronouncement, there would be no reason for the Messiah to say this of God because it is a foregone conclusion. But this is something the King would say when endorsing his Basar | Herald…
“The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) is in one who is authorized and capable, empowered and resourceful (ba ha koach – is with the one who is qualified to shout, adequate and able).
The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) is with the one who is qualified and inspiring (ba ha hadar – is in the one who has an aura of nobility and status, who shows partiality and is honorable).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:4)
Clearly, Dowd is biased, as is Yasha’yah, when speaking of the Qowl of Yahowah. Without what Yahowah and I have accomplished in restoring Dowd’s place in our 87lives while illuminating Yasha’yah’s prophecies, their essential contributions to the Covenant would have remained unheralded. That is not to suggest that I am great, only that they perceive the role Yahowah has orchestrated as supremely important. And, indeed, it is.
Without Yada, Dowd remains unappreciated and Yahowah does not return. There is no Shabuw’ah Harvest, no Taruw’ah Gleaning, no Red Heifer, and no one to come home to, precluding the fulfillment of Kipurym and Sukah. Satan wins and the Earth is rendered lifeless.
The books presented under the YAHOWAH brand are not only what prevents this from occurring, they cultivate the seeds which grow into productive harvests. Yahowah’s name is restored, and His Son returns to glory. The mortal remnant of Yisra’el left behind on Taruw’ah is reconciled and, therefore, prepared after 3,480 years to see and hear Yahowah’s flaming appearance and thunderous voice. Getting their attention, and yours, is why Dowd was inspired to write this Song.
The Messiah and returning King wants his people to know that the Qowl of Yahowah has been authorized and empowered by his Father, making him capable and resourceful, adequate and able to inspire the desired result.
In what follows, the only reason to mention the ‘erez | cedars which will be shattered is because ‘ElYah will have placed them under the body of the sacrificial Heifer in concert with the Numbers 19 narrative. And, therefore, Yahowah is stating through His Son that He will be enabling the intended result. That which has been used to block access to Him will be shattered.
“The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) makes physical contact with and shatters (shabar – dramatically crushes (qal participle masculine singular)) the cedars (‘erez).
88Therefore (wa), Yahowah (Yahowah) makes physical contact with and shatters (shabar – dramatically crushes (piel imperfect third-person masculine singular)) that which pertains to the cedars (‘eth ‘erez) of the full moon and writing tablets (ha labanown – of that which purifies, making white, Lebanon, or frankincense).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:5)
Ha Labanown is a heavily loaded concept. At this moment, the nation bearing that name, having been infected by jihadi Muslims, will lie in ruins. So it is what labanown means that matters. And in Hebrew, the own suffix reveals that it is all things pertaining to laban.
Laban speaks of being white and, thus, purified and cleansed – which is the purpose of the Red Heifer. It addresses the white light reflected off of the surface of a full moon, which is relevant because Yada is to Dowd as the moon is to the sun. The lesser luminary reflects the greater luminary’s light. It is the lesson God first introduced during the fourth day of Creation – and one He reinforces in the 89th Psalm. So it is interesting Dowd would say that on the first day of the seventh month and, therefore, during a new moon, that the moon will be laban full because this is when the life of his Herald is most brilliant and enlightening.
A laban is also a writing tablet, in keeping with all that I have written on Yahowah’s and Dowd’s behalf. And it is a paved and raised highway, something that the Voice is preparing for Yahowah’s and Dowd’s return. And since Yahowah has promised to lift up the Nes | Sign the Choter | Stem and Sucker has compiled in the YAHOWAH series to bring His people home, God is lifting it up now.
It is likely true that Dowd is biased. He probably thinks he can dance, too. And even if he can’t, no one would be dumb enough to tell the King he is clumsy. But as for me, I have no rhythm. Although, this causes me to reflect on 89the day Dowd danced, dressed in the robes of the High Priest, as the Ark of the Covenant was carried into Yaruwshalaim…
“And He causes him to leap about and dance (wa raqad hem – He is responsible for all of his jumping for joy (hifil imperfect third-person masculine singular)) much like and when (kamow) a Bull or Heifer is a continuous part of the story from the beginning (‘egel – as a calf, bull, or cow who comes around full circle).
The full moon’s writing tablets which purify (ha labanown – of that which cleans, making white, Lebanon, or frankincense) and set the remnant free (wa sharyon – providing body armor; from sharah – to release the remnant) can simultaneously be associated with the children (kamow ben – at another point in time will be compared to the child) of an uplifting bull (ra’am – of the wild ox who lifts up).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:6)
Dowd is brilliant, he is a master linguist and an inspired prophet, so to keep pace, we must be thoughtful. The dancing Bull is a tribute to one of the initial events in the Covenant’s development when Yahowah spoke to ‘Abraham about preparing the ‘Ayil, ‘Egel, and ‘Ez | Ram, Bull, and Goat. They are present again as part of Shabuw’ah and while anointing the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant on Kipurym.
The ‘Egel dancing in this scene is also presented as part of Yahowah’s last prophetic pronouncement to Yisra’el. Speaking of fulfilling Yowm Taruw’ah at dawn as the Red Heifer burns, Yahowah says of His designated ‘Egel | Bull…
“‘Please pay especially close attention because, as a matter of branding (ky hineh), the day (ha yowm) will vividly and actually arrive (bow’) that a fiery light will burn, blazing and consuming that which is combustible as part of a burnt offering to purge and remove that 90which is senseless and stupid (ba’ar) like (ka) a flaming oven, a firepot, and furnace for an exceptionally brilliant blaze serving as a crucible to incinerate the serpent (ha tanuwr).
Then (wa), all who are presumptuous and arrogant, full of themselves and morally contemptible (kol zed), in addition to all who engage in and act upon (wa kol ‘asah) that which is wickedly wrong so as to bear their guilt and remain condemnable (risha’ah), will become (hayah) worthless stubble and wasteful chaff (qash). And it will be scorched and set ablaze, burning them up and consuming them (lahat ‘eth hem).
This day (ha yowm) which is coming (ha bow’),’ says (‘amar) Yahowah (Yahowah) of the heavenly hosts (tsaba’), ‘for there to be joy in the relationship (‘asher), the steadfast Soresh | Sucker emerging from the root of the family line (Soresh) and ‘Anaph | Stem branching out of from the trunk to provide cover (‘anaph), will not free or release them nor will he abandon or forsake those left behind (lo’ ‘azab la hem). (Mal’aky 4:1)
So, then (wa) she [the Red Heifer] will appear at dawn with the sunrise, shining brightly, ascending with the sun for the dawning of a new day, providing enlightenment (wa zarach) on your behalf and for all of you to approach (la ‘atem) who respect and value (yare’) My name (shem ‘any), the rightful and vindicating Sun of Righteousness (shemesh tsadaqah), along with restoration and reconciliation, providing a remedy for mortal men, curing them of the plague (wa marphe’) within her extremities, the exposed epidermis in the outermost part of her appearance as she takes flight to the Cornerstone (ba kanaph hy’).
You should all come forth as during an exodus (wa yatsa’). Leaping and frolicking (puwsh) like (ka) young bulls who have come full circle, back to where it all 91began (‘egel), contemplating being able to stretch out in a restful dwelling place again (marbeq). (Mal’aky 4:2)
Then (wa), you will tread upon and trample down (‘asas) the religious who are wicked and wrong, guilty and condemnable (rasha’) because, branded with a stigma (ky), they have chosen to be (hayah) ashes (‘epher) under (tachath) the soles of your feet and hooves (kaph regel ‘atem) during (ba) the day (ha yowm) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), I am going to engage and act (‘any ‘asah),’ says (‘amar) Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the assembled spiritual envoys (tsaba’). (Mal’aky 4:3)
‘Remember, recalling the information, events, and men mentioned in (zakar) Moseh’s (Mosheh), My associate’s (‘ebed ‘any), Towrah | Source of Teaching and Instruction (Towrah) which, to lead to the benefits of the relationship and along the path to get the greatest joy out of life (‘asher), I instructed and directed (tsawah) through him (‘eth huw’) upon (ba) Choreb | the Cutting Edge and Dividing Line (Choreb) on behalf of all Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God (‘al kol Yisra’el), even the inscribed prescriptions which cut you into the relationship (choq) and the means to execute good judgment regarding resolving disputes (wa mishpat). (Mal’aky 4:4)
Look (hineh), I (‘anky) will send out (shalach) on your behalf (la ‘atem ‘eth), ‘ElYah (‘Elyah), the prophet (ha naby’), to come (la bow’) before (paneh) the great (ha gadowl) and awesomely awe-inspiring (wa ha yare’) day (yowm) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH). (Mal’aky 4:5)
And he will promote change to turn around, restore, and return (shuwb) the thinking and judgment, motivations and inclinations (leb) of parents (‘abowth) over and regarding sons (‘al benym), and thinking, judgment, and attitude (wa leb) of sons to their 92Progenitors (ben ‘al ‘aboth hem), lest (pen) I come (bow’) and I strike (wa nakah) the Earth (‘erets) as accursed, a gift which has been disfigured, mutilated, and destroyed (charam).’” (Mal’aky / My Messenger / Malachi 4:6)
When we consider the timing and subject, this is the ultimate treatise on what the ‘Egel will deliver to the mortal remnant of Yisra’el as the final Taruw’ah dawns.
Of this ‘Egel | Reoccurring Heifer and Bull, the Par and Parah | Bull and Heifer, and especially as the ‘Adamah Parah | Bloody Red Man in the role of the Productive Heifer, who is the subject of Yahowah’s Farewell Address, the same man is featured again at the conclusion of Yasha’yah / Isaiah in the 63rd chapter…
“Who (my) is this (zeh) who comes (bow’) out of ‘Edowm, from the bloody red nature of Rome (min ‘Edowm) in vibrant red (chamuwts) garments (beged – apparel) from the sheepfold in a fortified and protected place (batsrah)? He is the one (zeh) who is shown great favoritism and is respected (hadar). Therefore, he is suitably adorned and arrayed (ba lebuwsh huw’), striding purposely and walking forthrightly with a sense of intensity and purpose (tsa’ah) in the abundance (rob) of His influence and authority (koach huw’). I am sharing this message (‘any dabar) accurately (tsadaqah) to liberate and save (la yasha’) many (rab).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 63:1)
This is one of the greatest prophet’s most essential statements. All Yisra’el should be anticipating the arrival of the Man from ‘Edowm | Bloody Red Rome because he will save them from themselves.
I have always pictured a well-spoken word as the ultimate weapon, one vastly superior to bullets and bombs. My King agrees…
93“The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) engraves and lacerates (chatsab – inscribes and cuts, carves out) like blazing flames, a slashing sword, and a weapon comprised (lahab – gleaming and bright blades) of fire (‘esh).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:7)
The ‘Adamah Parah will give new life to Yisra’el, such that the barren nation which has questioned the Word will be fruitful and productive again. More specifically, the Red Heifer will cure the Adulterous Woman such that the Messiah can reclaim the unfaithful religious whore.
“The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) causes the labor pains (chyl – birth pangs) of the barren wasteland of questionable words (midbar – lifeless wilderness where the word is questioned; from my – to ponder the implications of and dabar – the word).
Yahowah (Yahowah) prompts the birth pangs (chyl) among the Set Apart (qodesh – the separated and uncommon) in the barren places where the word is pondered (midbar – lifeless wilderness where the word is questioned).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:8)
The books branded under YAHOWAH’s name and Manowrah exist to bring Yisra’el back to the Towrah | Guidance of Yahowah. Relative to the Covenant Family, she has been barren far too long.
In a very real way, at least for me, my beautiful and vivacious wife, who is very Jewish, embodies the nation and people to whom I am striving to give new life. She is my ‘ayalah | ewe and I am her ‘ayil | ram; she is an elegant but vulnerable frolicking ‘ayalah | gazelle while I am the one she has chosen to protect her, always envisioning the most favorable outcome when we are together. She is also my research assistant as I have composed Yada Yahowah during these anguishing times plaguing Yisra’el…
94“The Qowl | Voice (qowl – the audible sound and verbal communication) of Yahowah (Yahowah) causes the ewe of the ram to be trusting and give birth in agitating times, making it possible for the gazelle doe of the strong man to trust that she can dance expecting a favorable outcome (yachal ‘ayalah).
Then you strip the underbrush bare (chasaph ya’ar – you tear off the veneer, façade, and covering of the thicket). And in His illuminated and illustrious Sanctuary, Residence, and Temple comprised of light where He prevails and endures (hekal huw’ – His empowered place; from yakol – to be capable and accomplished), everyone says of him (kol huw’ ‘amar), ‘Glorious, honorable, and respectable (kabowd – greatly valued, rewarding, and empowering).’” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:9)
Part of my mission is to strip away the underbrush choking out the productive harvest of souls. The false façade that hides the hideous forms of religion must be uncovered and exposed for a sufficient number of people to walk away and then to God.
While there are a number of options available to us regarding hekal huw’, from His residence all the way up to and including His Temple, I find both extremes plausible. These events are occurring on the Temple Mount. The eternal rendition of Yahowah’s Covenant Home will be comprised of light. And the replica Tabernacle of the Restoring Witness that Yada and ‘ElYah will call home during the previous 3½ years will be located here.
As an advocate for the less imposing rendering, the two Witnesses will be restoring and reestablishing those dwelling in the presence of the inundating waters flowing from beneath the Red Heifer. And this Hekal will precede Dowd’s return to a more suitable residence for the King.
Then, in favor of the Hekal representing Yahowah’s 95Home on Earth, our God is clearly Glorious, Honorable, and Empowering. He is Greatly Valued and Rewarding. However, it’s too soon for everyone to confess any of this; the flood waters are still present, and the King has not yet returned. So, it appears that while this may be the Sanctuary of Light shining forth from above the Temple Mount, it’s apparent that the one being acknowledged as valuable and respectable is the man who offered his life for Yisra’el to live.
As a result of the thirty-two years we have worked cooperatively, the Covenant Family will be restored and reestablished, with the cleansing waters performing as Yahowah intended…
“Yahowah (Yahowah) will be restored and reestablished, dwelling (yashab – inhabiting, living, and renewing (qal perfect)) near (la – beside and by way of) the great release of inundating waters (ha mabuwl – the flood of overwhelming proportions).
And then Yahowah’s (wa Yahowah) King (melek – designated sovereign) will be established and live (yashab – will dwell and remain (qal imperfect)) forever (la ‘owlam).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:10)
The 35 volumes under the YAHOWAH brand have done more to restore Yahowah’s name than anything ever written – certainly, since the Towrah was revealed introducing it and Dowd’s Mizmowr were scribed celebrating it. And working together, we have been effective at reestablishing the Covenant and Yahowah’s love for Yisra’el. I have also done my part to rid the world of the notion that the hideous scars of the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque belong on the Temple Mount, reclaiming it for Yisra’el.
Further, the great release of inundating waters depicts those God has brought forth from below Mowryah to cleanse His people, preparing the mortal remnant of 96Yisra’el and Yahuwdym to listen to and be present around Him again. They will emerge from beneath the sacrifice of the Red Heifer.
Even when the King credits others with the role they play in telling his story, the man among men will always be Dowd. He will be King of Everything Forevermore.
Therefore, ‘am huw’ can be seen as God’s Covenant Family, as Dowd’s Family since he made it possible, or the restored Family of Yisra’el, now enjoying the sights and sounds of God in their presence. Either way, our Father is now protecting His flock.
“Yahowah (Yahowah) strengthens, empowers, and protects (‘oz) His family (la ‘am huw’ – His people).
Yahowah (Yahowah) consistently offers (nathan – He gives and bestows (qal imperfect)) to kneel down and lift up, greeting and blessing (barak – invoking the favor (piel imperfect)) His people (‘eth ‘am huw’) with reconciliation, friendship, and peace (ba ha shalowm – with favoritism, companionship, satisfaction, and contentment).” (Mizmowr / Song / Psalm 29:11)
The very idea of Yahowah, the Creator God of the Universe and Author of Life, kneeling down to greet, lift up, and bless His Children is my favorite way to picture my Heavenly Father. It is so consistent with His nature and purpose and inconsistent with the religious conceptions of Him that it pleases me to see God doing what He most loves – showering the participants in the Beryth with affection and attention, love and support. It is the way it should be. It is the way it will be.
And in the end, we will enjoy perfect shalowm | favoritism, satisfaction, and contentment. And this is not the end of God’s story but, instead, just the beginning.
