607Coming Home

Dowd

…Beloved

Firstborn

Given but not Accepted…

Now that we have correctly rendered and assessed the only prophecy which speaks of the future arrival and benevolent sacrifice of a Mashyach | Messiah in Dowd’s favor, let’s turn our attention to what God has to say about His Son’s return. The most famous of these prophecies is found in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:5 and 6. And while we could turn directly to it, with so much riding upon this pronouncement from Yahowah, let’s invest the time to more fully appreciate the context in which God revealed it. For that, we’ll begin our journey in the 8^th chapter.

“Yahowah (Yahowah) expressed to me with unfolding implications (wa ‘amar ‘el ‘any), ‘Obtain for yourself (laqach la ‘atah) a very large vellum scroll to make this widely known (gilayown gadowl). Choose to write with a stylus in the common characters associated with mortal man (wa kathab ‘al huw’ ba cheret ‘enowsh): la mahar shalal chuwsh baz | this concerns being senselessly eager to be looted and controlled by this treacherous and despicable conflict (la Mahar Shalal Chuwsh Baz). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:1)

So I will call and sustain a Witness to testify for Me (wa ‘uwd la ‘any), whose pronouncements will be consistent with the evidence and logical, meticulous and reliable, restoring through the eternal testimony (‘ed), trustworthy and dependable (‘aman), consistent with (‘eth) Yah’s Light and Enlightenment (‘Uwryah), who functions as a counselor and advisor and serves to teach 608and assist (ha kohen) with regard to remembering Yah (wa ‘eth Zakaryah) as children blessed by Yahowah (ben Yaberekyahuw).’” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:2)

Yasha’yah is not only claiming that what he wrote, and is now memorialized on the Great Isaiah Scroll found in a cave above the Dead Sea and below Jerusalem, was dictated by Yahowah and, thus, Divinely inspired, he proved it by filling the text with detailed depictions of what would occur centuries and millennia later. Further, the great Prophet not only affirmed God’s preference for the written word, he verified that the original Hebrew alphabet was depicted using human elements, including an eye, mouth, teeth, head, foot, and hand, a person standing and pointing upward and another stretched out reading. There was a home, a shepherd’s staff, a plow, a sign, and a seed, and even a mark known as a signature.

As is the case throughout the opening chapters, Yahowah begins by denouncing the destructive attitude of His People, saying that they were senselessly victimizing themselves. So, to counter the ill effects of religion, culture, and politics God would deploy a Witness to testify on His behalf.

These are the two best jobs in the universe – prophet and witness. There is no higher calling and no more enjoyable or productive way to invest our lives than to testify on behalf of Yahowah. There is no mistaking the fact that this is obviously what God wants – after all, He just told us so. All we must do is accept His invitation and then strive to meet His expectations.

If it were not for the fact that ‘aman follows ‘uwd la ‘any and ‘ed, none of us would qualify. But when we recognize Yahowah is simply asking us to testify on His behalf and to share His restoring witness, so long as we read and recite what He has had inscribed in writing, everything we say will be ‘aman because Yahowah is 609‘aman. Yahowah is, therefore, encouraging us to accurately reflect His nature by ‘aman | truthfully, reliably, correctly, credibly, and confidently reciting His written testimony. Doing so provides instant and irrefutable credibility among the observant and rational.

Based on the full implications of ‘aman, Yahowah wants us to convey His words in such a way that the reader can “‘aman – verify” them for themselves, “confirming their authenticity.” This is the reason I have included the Hebrew basis for each translation within the citation itself. It is why I often explain the thinking behind my choices when there are other options.

Also interesting, there is a “workmanlike and artistic” aspect of ‘aman that I sensed was true but never noticed in the definitions. Translating Yahowah’s Word is “work.” Like all work, it takes time and training to be any good at it. But it is a skill anyone with the proper focus and dedication can learn. The more one does it, the better they will be at it. And as is the case with most jobs, there is a tremendous sense of satisfaction and accomplishment at the conclusion of a day’s labor.

However, an effective translation isn’t always mechanical. The Hebrew alphabet is graphic, and the language is highly symbolic, requiring an artist’s perspective. The challenge is to look at the words and their shadings and weave them together such that the picture the Artist intended is properly presented and consistent with His other strokes, shades, and hues.

The commentary should be graphic as well. Its purpose is to encourage the reader to view the portrait Yahowah has painted from the most enlightening vantage point. And keep in mind, every letter of Yahowah’s preferred alphabet is an artistic representation of an important idea. Further, since we lack the capacity to visualize the implications of being elevated to the seventh 610dimension, the best Yahowah can do is draw pictures for us and then encourage us to extrapolate from them.

There was an aspect of ‘uwd which may be surprising. About half of what Yahowah communicates falls under the purview of “a warning or admonition.” And so, if we are going to speak accurately on His behalf, we must be prepared and willing to warn people about the counterproductive and unGodly nature of religion and politics, of patriotism and militarism. Exposing and condemning the things humans are predisposed to respect will make us as unpopular among our peers as were Yahowah’s prophets, but it must be done for us to be ‘aman.

This known, the human capacity to remain focused and process a long stream of information has deteriorated over time. I came to this conclusion by reading scholarly tomes published during the 18^th and 19^th centuries and comparing their presentation to similar books written within the past fifty years. Back then, a sentence was often ten lines long, five times longer than today’s average. A paragraph was a page or more, five times longer than what is typically encountered in modern texts. Not only were chapters considerably more extensive, but it was also common for books to exceed a thousand pages, five times longer than what is normally published today. And in this regard, I’m a bit of a throwback to a bygone era.

Exemplifying this, the most popular genre of books today are fantasy novels such as Harry Potter and the Hunger Games. There is no substance to them. At least with Game of Thrones, it was written as a social commentary on religion and politics, but with this undercurrent, the dark novels weren’t nearly as popular as the HBO show has become.

Failing to adapt to our time, I often lapse into a similar style, only to find readers having trouble following a train 611of thought from beginning to end of a sentence. Many lose focus in the midst of a paragraph. So, while I will occasionally include a long, run-on sentence, it is always buttressed by much shorter ones. And I typically start a new paragraph after three or four statements. It is also the reason behind the bold text in my translations and for placing the Hebrew words and further amplifications within parenthesis and in a standard typeface. It is the reason I offer summaries by decluttering these translations and presenting them a second time in a less amplified fashion.

This problem is getting worse. We have begun a transition from soundbites to texting and tweeting, from actual printed material to social media. The writing quality has plummeted, as has the vocabulary and reasoning of both writer and reader. Most people have lost the capacity to focus on anything important long enough to transfer the information from short-term to long-term memory. Exacerbated by an aversion to reason and exercise good judgment, the preponderance of people have no hope of understanding the complexities associated with God.

Therefore, Yahowah was correct when He said that they would look and yet not understand. This problem has become so ubiquitous, so obvious, it is demonstrated every day in the media and by those who are political and religious. As a whole, mankind is neither observant nor rational. Orthodox religion and Progressive politics are making the situation worse.

I share this with you at this time for three reasons. First, those who speak for Yahowah are well-read, thoughtful, and articulate, demonstrating a consistent and rational approach to the evidence available to us. This prophetic discourse can be translated, interpreted, and explained, but it cannot be reduced to snippets and soundbites. My books devoted to them and Him are, therefore, long.

612Second, while the world prefers to listen and watch social media, God’s preference is for the precision and integrity of the written word. Therefore, I am beginning to offer video presentations of what I’ve learned, but even then, they are designed to garner attention and direct interested parties to the library at YadaYah.com.

Here is a quick review of where we have been followed by a summation of what follows…

“Yahowah expressed to me with unfolding implications, ‘Obtain for yourself a very large vellum scroll to make this widely known. Choose to write with a stylus in the common characters associated with mortal man because this concerns being senselessly eager to be looted and controlled by this treacherously despicable conflict. (8:1)

Therefore, I will call and sustain a Witness to testify for Me, one whose pronouncements will be consistent with the evidence and logical, meticulous and reliable, restoring through the eternal testimony, trustworthy and dependable, consistent with Yahowah’s enlightenment, who functions in a priestly role, as counselor and advisor, and serves to teach and assist with regard to remembering Yah as blessed children.’ (8:2)

So I approached as a prophet to conceive offspring, and Yahowah said to me, ‘Call his name, “Senselessly Impetuous” because he will be complicit in his victimization, being controlled and looted in this treacherously despicable conflict. (8:3) Surely, before the boy knows to call out, “My father” or “My mother,” the militant prowess of Damascus with the plunder of Samaria will be carried away before the presence of the dictatorial leadership and sovereign ruler of Assyria / Iran, Iraq, and Syria.’” (Yasha’yah 8:4)

Since the Great Isaiah Scroll renders naby’ | prophet 613masculine, the text likely states that when Yasha’yah approached as a prophet to conceive children for the Covenant, Yahowah expressed his concerns. Yisra’el would not grow up to know his Heavenly Father or Spiritual Mother. And ultimately, history would repeat itself with militants from Damascus plundering Samaria en route to spoiling all of Israel at the behest of those lording over Iran, Iraq, and Syria – Muslim clerics and jihadists.

Yahowah’s next statement is long, with a singular integrated statement presented over three verses. A great deal will be conveyed before we have the opportunity to dissect it in our search for understanding.

“Yet again (wa yasaph) Yahowah (Yahowah) spoke (dabar) to me (‘el ‘any), continuing to testify (‘uwd), (Yasha’yah 8:5) to say (la ‘amar), ‘Indeed (ky), because (ya’an) the people (ha ‘am ha zeh) have rejected and come to despise and spurn (ma’as) the waters (‘eth maym) of the One Who Is Sent Forth and Dispatched, ha Shiloach (ha Shiloach), who walks, conducting his life (ha halak) by approaching as a gentleman, moving deliberatively in consideration of those in need (la ‘at), while also (wa) launching a scathing attack against (masows ‘eth) Retsyn | the Self-Willed and Pleasure-Seeking (Retsyn) and (wa) ben Ramalyahuw | the Sons Exalted Above Yahowah (ben Ramalyahuw). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:6)

Therefore (wa la ken), behold (hineh), Yahowah (Yahowah), Almighty God (‘elohym), is withdrawing, and He is raising up (‘alah) for and against them (‘al hem ‘eth), the waters (maym) of a powerful torrent and a flood of a forceful multitude, a throng of severe individuals intent on accomplishing their purpose (ha nahar ha ‘atsuwm) in addition to (wa) the numerous militants and military (rab) of the rulers (‘eth melek) of Assyria [today’s Iran, Iraq, and Syria] (‘Ashuwr), along with (wa) the entire (‘eth kol) manifestation of its power 614(kabowd huw’). And it will rise (‘alah) over all of its channels (‘al kol ‘aphyq huw’) and (wa) travel (halak) over all (‘al kol) its banks (gadah huw’).’” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:7)

The purpose of this testimony was conveyed in “‘uwd – to provide an eternal witness designed to restore and sustain some while admonishing and warning others regarding unfavorable and dangerous future events.” Prophecy is not designed to satiate the curiosity of believers but, instead, to prove that Yahowah’s words endure forever and that He is the source of our restoration. Further, God wants us to be forewarned so that everyone is without excuse. There is a consequence of choosing to trust and rely on man rather than God. These objectives define my role of reintroducing Yahowah, His Towrah, Beryth, Miqra’ey, and So to His People.

These Yisra’elites had “ma’as – rejected and come to despise” the comforting and compassionate waters of “Shiloach – the One Who is Sent.” And indeed, whether one identifies Shiloach with Yahowah’s liberator, Moseh, His shepherd, Dowd, His prophet, Yasha’yah, or His herald, Yada, all were dispatched with the living and cleansing waters of Yahowah, a God who walks “la ‘at – gently and approaches mercifully.”

While there are numerous possibilities, the only place and occasion where waters are directly associated with the one who is dispatched by God to resolve a powerful torrent of adversarial intentions, is in conjunction with the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. Then, Yahowah will release copious amounts of water from beneath the sacrificial offering and out the depths of the Temple Mount to cleanse the remaining remnant of His People. And at this time, between the flames and deluge, the advancing armies seeking the destruction of Jews and Jerusalem will be washed away and incinerated.

615Long ago, the Northern Kingdom cast their lot in with Retsyn, the Self-Willed and Pleasure-Seeking, and ben Ramalyahuw, the son Exalted Above Yahowah. And since nothing has changed, God is using the past to foretell the future. Men are still choosing the likes of President Trump and Pope Francis over God. And make no mistake, this is an either-or proposition. Yisra’elites can choose political pundits and religious rabbis if they prefer them, or Yahowah, but not both.

Today, in this part of the world, the choice is all too often the likes of the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, and Bashar al-Assad who were replaced by despotic Islamic clerics and bloodthirsty jihadists. As a result of the nasty neighborhood and the antagonistic attitude of His wayward children, Yahowah withdrew from Israel for millennia and would not return prior to year 6000 Yah. And only then as a result of the cleansing the aforementioned waters provide on Yowm Taruw’ah.

Yahowah not only announced that He was withdrawing, in that He was not interested in engaging in a competition with the likes of Retsyn, but He would see to it that the human alternative would make an enduring impression – one where the past would foreshadow the future. Gentle waters of a spring bring and sustain life, but a powerful torrent destroys everything in its way.

This occurred long ago and it will transpire again and soon…

“It will sweep through (wa chalaph ba) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah), exerting the considerable force of a flood (shataph) while (wa) extending up to (‘abar ‘ad) the neck (tsuw’ar), making contact with and violently striking (naga’) while (wa) coming to (hayah) stretch out (mutah) its wings (kanaph huw’), filling (malo’) the breadth (rochab) of your land (‘erets ‘atah), ‘Imanuw’el | God is 616with Us (‘Imanuw’el).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:8)

‘Erets Yisra’el is being equated to ‘Imanuw’el. It is the Land Yahowah gave to ‘Abraham after leading him into it during his journey out of Babel. It is part of the Covenant’s inheritance. It is the Land Yahowah led His liberated people back into following their four-hundred-year isolation in Mitsraym | the realm of human oppression.

The Land of Israel was the home He shared with His beloved Son, Dowd. It is the Land in which His Zarowa’ fulfilled the first three Miqra’ey in year 4000 Yah, and the place he will return in year 6000 Yah, fulfilling the final Mow’edym. So, while He was withdrawing, He will return. Giving it to the Fakestinian terrorists to appease their bloodlust is not going to work out well.

Yahowah does not want us to associate ourselves with human religious institutions or political parties. God is opposed to governments, and He does not want us to swear an oath of allegiance such that we become patriotic. He does not want us to establish militaries or support them – at least apart from His explicit instructions on behalf of Israel.

God is emphatically stating that, if we choose to form alliances, they will be broken, and we will be discouraged and abandoned. If we elect to arm ourselves and come to rely upon our military, we will be terrorized and bewildered as to why we are failing.

God’s way is the opposite of man’s way. As such, what follows is essential reading. In fact, Yahowah’s next statement could well have served as the headline of an article written to Americans prior to the last presidential election.

“People (‘am – related individuals), choose to associate yourselves with misleading shepherds (ra’ah), and you will have chosen to be confused, discouraged, 617broken, and dismayed (wa chathath). Elect to listen and respond to (wa ‘azan) any (kol) distant country (merchaq ‘erets), arming yourself while preparing for your defense, girding yourself for war (‘azar), and you will have chosen your own fate which is to be terrorized and bewildered, divided and destroyed (wa chathath).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:9)

God is not just advising that forming alliances with others is a bad idea, He is affirming that associations with religious institutions (ra’ah – misleading shepherds), other nations (merchaq ‘erets), or promilitary factions (‘azar) are ultimately demeaning, destructive, and deadly. Rather than being religious, demonstrating one’s patriotism, promoting a strong military, and negotiating international treaties, such as a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, God knows that all of these things are counterproductive and destructive.

Those who engage like this in hopes of reducing the chance of death, the threat of terrorism, or the loss of freedoms will endure that which they sought to avoid. Rather than defending their liberty and securing their sovereignty, they will forfeit both.

There were five verbs in this statement and all five were conveyed using the imperative mood. From this we can discern a number of relevant conclusions. First, while the imperative typically conveys second-person volition, and is rarely used to state a command, the name Hebrew scholars chose to identify the mood implies that it is authoritative, domineering, imperious, overbearing, and bossy. This is in spite of the realization that volition, when expressed in the second person, which is to give the individual spoken to a choice, is the opposite of what the imperative designation suggests.

While an imperative can be extrapolated as a command, at its core it introduces something which is of 618vital importance. For example, it is imperative we know what God said if we want to know Him. So once again, to discern what Yahowah communicated, we must clear away man’s clutter and be thoughtful.

This is one of many uses of the imperative mood where the notion of rendering it as a command is ludicrous. If treated as such in this context, God would be seen as ordering us to be self-destructive.

There is an enormous difference in responsibility and accountability between being compelled to be religious, political, patriotic, and promilitary, and choosing of one’s own volition to engage and participate in these unGodly things. And since Yahowah is making this distinction, and thus ascribing the consequence exclusively to those who choose of their own volition to promote one or more of these things, He is warning individuals living today in Western democracies.

I say this because, throughout most of recorded history, the imposition of caste systems precluded all but a few from having the liberty to choose. From the time this was spoken to Yasha’yah circa 740 BCE until the 19^th century, the overwhelming preponderance of people had no say in their government, no choice in their religion, and no influence over their military. They were ruled by clerics and kings. It is only recently, and only apart from the fifty-five Muslim-majority nations and five communist countries, collectively comprising half of the world’s population, that a reasonable number of people have been given the freedom to control these aspects of their lives. And yet, even this is beginning to erode, particularly the freedom to be anti-religious, to be in opposition to the nation’s military, or to be unpatriotic. There are thought police everywhere.

Even blessed with a degree of freedom, when people forfeit their ability to be judgmental, to think critically, to 619go where the facts lead, they squander their freewill. If a person is misled because they do not know or understand the issues, they end up capitulating to the will of others.

Without good information and sound teaching, erroneous guidance is befuddling. For example, while his internal contradictions and overt confessions are more than sufficient for a rational individual to reject Paul, it is by comparing what God said to what Paul wrote that condemns him as a false prophet. But since Christians do not care what Yahowah revealed, they don’t know that Paul consistently contradicted God. They are so brainwashed, they worship a crude counterfeit.

The evolution of stems in this statement is also interesting. The “ra’ah – choice to associate oneself with evil leaders and to befriend harmful and destructive shepherds” and the consequence, which is “‘am – to become confused and discouraged, broken and destroyed, having chosen one’s own fate which is to be terrorized and bewildered,” were scribed in the qal active stem, indicating that the decision to form such relationships and the results of having done so are straightforward, should be interpreted literally, and are purposeful, deliberate, and genuine in nature. This isn’t a joke. This is not a parable told for our amusement or for another time. There is no creative interpretation that can sweep this away and justify being religious.

The third verb, “‘azan – choosing to listen and respond while considering being obedient,” was tagged with the hifil stem. In this case, the listener is influenced when they respond to what governments are saying. Then in the process of listening, they begin to echo the platitudes of the political elite. That is to say, they come to embrace and embody their counterproductive characteristics and start to parrot their propaganda. In essence, people are known by the company they keep.

620The fourth verb, “‘azar – arming oneself,” is influenced by one of the rarest of stems, the hitpael. This means that “by choosing to establish and equip a military to defend oneself, said nation and citizens will have chosen to be by themselves.” This means that by relying on the military for one’s safety, security, life, and freedom, they are not depending on God for these things. As such, those who trade freedom for security not only end up with neither, but they are also estranged from Yahowah. This is the thinking behind the first and third conditions of the Covenant. To be part of Yah’s Family, we must sever national and religious allegiances and come to trust and rely on Yahowah instead.

There are only three types of schemes God is likely to care about, at least to the extent that He would warn us about them: religious counsel, political advice, and military plans. God sees their counsel as “‘etsah – revolting, idolatrous, defiant, and malicious.” So, if you are among those who either choose to adapt and devise your own schemes or promote those conceived by others, be forewarned that they will be considered in conflict with the Covenant. Such is the case with every religion, government, and military establishment.

“You may want to devise your schemes, planning your course of action in consideration of your own inclinations (‘uwts) based on the revolting advice and counsel of others (‘etsah), but (wa) it will be nullified because you have chosen to be in violation of the Covenant (parar). Should you elect to make a statement (dabar dabar), (wa) it will not stand (lo’ quwm) because truly (ky) ‘Imanuw’el | God is with Us (‘Imanuw’el).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:10)

Obviously, for God to be with us, we must first have chosen to be with God. When this occurs, nothing man does or says against us matters. But for us to be with God, we must be opposed to religion and politics.

621But there is another villain. One of the most destabilizing aspects of the internet and social media is its propensity to attract and befuddle with conspiracies. The proponents feed off one another and are predisposed to believe the most preposterous notions. It is not just that they have been horribly misled, it’s also that they lose their ability to reason in the process and forfeit their credibility as a result.

Knowing that there are few things we can do that are more damaging to our psyche and judgment, Yahowah opposes the promotion of conspiracy theories. He does so for important reasons. First, there is no way to assess the sincerity of a person’s devotion to the truth when they are this susceptible to obvious delusions. There is too high a likelihood that such lost souls will simply repeat what they believe others want to hear so that they are accepted within the group.

Second, should someone who has come to know about Yahowah speak about Him while at the same time promoting an array of conspiracy theories, they will destroy God’s credibility by association, particularly among those who realize their beliefs are without merit. The truth should never be mixed with lies. This is how the most damaging myths are born.

Third, there is no exit plan in eternity. Those susceptible to accepting and promoting ridiculous notions would eventually become irritating. They would find ways to do what the religious and political on Earth have done to corrupt God’s intent and instructions, making heaven too much like life as we know it now. Even more to the point, Judaism and Christianity are conspiracies to empower men over God while robbing His Son and our Messiah.

“For indeed (ky), this is what (koh) Yahowah (Yahowah) said (‘amar – conveyed and communicated) to me (‘el ‘any) in a manner akin to (ka) a strong, 622empowering, and renewing (chezqah) hand and active influence (yad), teaching me so that I would be correct (yasar ‘any), keeping me from walking (min halak) in the ways (ba derek) of these particular people (ha ‘am ha zeh), approaching saying (la ‘amar), (Yasha’yah 8:11) ‘I do not want you to ever speak of (lo’ ‘amar) conspiracies (qesher), for (la) anything (kol) which, by association (‘asher), the people (ha ‘am) continue to claim (‘amar) is a conspiracy, a secret plot and reflects the covert plans of a group to carry out illegal and harmful acts (ha zeh qesher). And in addition (wa ‘eth), do not respect or revel in (yare’ wa lo’) that which concerns them (‘arats), wondering about or fearing them (mowra’ huw’ lo’).’” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:12)

God does not want, in fact is wholly opposed to, us commingling His testimony with myths, regardless if they are religious or conspiratorial. He does not want His good name and valid revelations to be used to infer that the preposterous lies underpinning these notions are credible by association. He does not want the authenticity of what He has to say dismissed because it is surrounded by gibberish. In other words, if you want to promote conspiracy theories, refrain from speaking about God. If you want to converse with Yahowah, do not pursue conspiracy. These delusions are for losers – those desperate to find an excuse to blame others for their miserable and unfulfilling lives.

Keep in mind that this is the preamble to the prophecy pertaining to the gift of God’s beloved Son. And thus far, everything we have read is in conflict with the politicized religion predicated on character assassination and identity theft. It’s not looking good for the Christian myth.

“With regard to (‘eth) Yahowah (Yahowah) of the spiritual implements (tsaba’), Him (huw’) you should set apart (qadash). And (wa) Him (huw’), you should wonder about, be in awe of, and respect (mowra’ ‘atem). 623And (wa) Him (huw’), you should be concerned about and be inspired by (‘arats ‘atem).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:13)

Words like mowra’ and ‘arats are similar to yare’, such that they convey reverence or fear, respect or dread, inspiration or anxiety depending upon the individual’s perspective and circumstance. Those who come to know and respect Yahowah will revere Him and be inspired by Him. While those who reject Him, preferring conspiracy, religion, or politics, will come to dread the consequence of being judged by Him. Simply stated: respect Him or fear Him – your choice.

Yahowah’s words either serve us or work against us depending upon our response to them. The Towrah provides the means to participate in the Covenant for those who accept His approach, but for those who reject God’s instructions, the Towrah will be cited to sentence them.

“So, then (wa) He will become (hayah) as a sanctuary (la miqdash). But He will also be (wa) as a stone (la ‘eben) for dashing (negeph) and (wa) a rock (la tsuwr) as an obstacle and obstruction (mikshowl) for both (shanaym) Houses (beythy) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el), as a trap (la pach) and (wa) as a snare (mowqesh) for the inhabitants (la yashab) of Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:14)

And then (wa), many rabbis (rabym) will stumble (kashal) upon them (ba hem) and fall (wa naphal). They will be captured while clinging together (wa lakad), broken (shabar), and controlled (wa yaqosh).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:15)

So it would be. Yisra’el would be ruled by others for millennia. The overlords would include the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arab Muslims, the Ottomans, the British, and soon, the Progressive and Islamic United Nations.

624Yisra’elites had no one to blame but themselves. On any day, at any moment, had they turned to Yahowah and relied on Him rather than on a plethora of religious interpretations, their government, their military, and international alliances, He would have provided a safe sanctuary. It is the same for everyone today. We have the same choice afforded the Northern Kingdom circa 740 BCE: religion or the Covenant relationship, government or God, the military or the Miqra’ey, treaties or the Towrah.

Recently, I wrote a song that plays on the Yahowah channels on YouTube and Rumble – Shalowm Yisra’el. And in it, I wrote, “More terrorists will come. I would stop them if not for the rabbinical scum.”

While Jews have been their own worst enemy, they are constantly blamed in one conspiracy or another for scheming to control or annihilate Gentiles. This myth persists today, with Israel accused of genocide in Gaza when the opposite is true. They were falsely accused of killing Jesus and then of being the mortal enemy of Muslims, and even for apartheid against the Fakestinians. And yet, it’s all a lie. The population and prosperity of Muslims in Israel have increased by 500% over the past 75 years, while the Jewish populations in Islamic nations have declined by 99.5% during the same period. And yet, Progressives moronically, immorally, and irrationally tout the lie with all evidence to the contrary.

Yahowah is in the midst of affirming one of the most surprising declarations we have considered. God not only doesn’t want to save everyone, but He also wants the process of getting to know Him sufficiently challenging to weed out invasive species. If you are not receptive to learning, if you are not willing to respond appropriately to God’s guidance, if you don’t accept the fact that His testimony is limited to the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr, if you are not rational and don’t appreciate the value of corroborating information, or if you fail to make the 625necessary connections to correctly ascertain Yahowah’s approach to mankind, then He does not want you sniffing around the edges. Go away.

God realizes that individuals who are intellectually lazy, who insist that they are entitled to their opinions, and who are not guided by evidence and reason, are ticking time bombs – far more trouble than they are worth. They are too easily misled, too often mistaken, too undisciplined, and far too unreliable to make eternal. Eventually, they would accept and promote conspiracies in opposition to Yah and His Covenant. However, because they would then be immortal, the only means to resolve the conflict would be to send them off to She’owl | Hell after having lived in Shamaym | Heaven. God is not going to let that happen, not for the sake of the half-hearted, but because some of His children would see it as cruel rather than compassionate.

What follows is extraordinary, even among this cavalcade of treasures. Yahowah foresaw, and then solved a problem that, unchecked, would have become catastrophic. This suggests that one of the reasons rabbis remain fixated on their Talmud and Mishnah rather than Yahowah’s Towrah is that they do not understand the word of God. Oblivious to Yah’s propensity to teach, unaware of His name, stupefied by the purpose of the Invitations to Meet, and ignorant of the intent of the Covenant, they engage in mental masturbation among themselves.

While their fixation on one another is annoying, their presumptuous and argumentative nature only affects those spellbound by them and thus only religious Jews. Apart from their errant co-opting of terms such as “Torah” and “Passover,” their verbal diarrhea does not demean or discredit Yahowah’s Towrah, Shem, Miqra’ey, or Beryth. They are disparaging themselves, not God.

It is because Jews became a stumbling block and a snare for Israel, an impediment to knowing Yahowah and 626understanding His Towrah | Guidance, they sealed their fate, making this the only responsible choice for Yahowah…

“Wrap up and store, restricting (tsarar) the written Testimony, keeping the correct and corroborating information safe and secure from those who oppose it (ta’uwdah), securing access by signing with a personal stamp to seal up (chatham) the Towrah, the Source of Teaching and Guidance (Towrah) among (ba) those I am teaching as My receptive students (limuwd ‘any).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:16)

God was not universally restricting access to His written testimony and Towrah guidance – just protecting it from being corrupted and perverted. While there would be legitimate reasons for Him to completely bar access at times, His restrictions were directed toward those who were more interested in imposing their edits rather than listening to His instructions. This would include all those who errantly and religiously refer to Yahowah’s Towrah | Guidance as “the Law,” affirming that Judaism and Christianity are Divinely impoverished.

Yahowah has made it difficult for those who seek obedience through the imposition of laws to comprehend His desire to guide His children toward a loving, familial relationship. He is precluding those who are averse to Him using His words against His family.

Those who appreciate Yahowah’s “ta’uwdah – written confirmation of the relationship agreement,” and who approach it appropriately, will find God enhancing their understanding. This explains why there isn’t a rabbi on Earth who can effectively argue against the translations and insights revealed in the 35 volumes of An Introduction to God, Yada Yahowah, Observations, Coming Home, Babel, God Damn Religion, and Twistianity. I understand and they do not. They are too busy arguing among themselves and 627imposing their influence while I’m devoted to conveying the message of Father and Son to those not jaundiced by the religious.

Had Yahowah not blinded His own people to His message these many years, they would have done far greater damage to themselves and others. It was one thing to have lied while touting Ha-Shem, but it would have been far worse to corrupt Yahowah’s reputation. It was one thing to deny Dowd’s fulfillment of the Miqra’ey as God’s Son, but it would have been far worse to turn his means of removing religious guilt into a religious rite.

By prioritizing Talmud lessons in their Yeshivas taught by rabbis, over participating in Yahowah’s Beryth at the behest of His Son, the damage is limited to religious Jews. While lamentable, this will be correctable among the receptive remnant of Yisra’el because the Haredi virus that has debilitated so many Jews will continue to be constrained to the lost souls who tend to isolate themselves in intellectual ghettos.

Based upon this pronouncement and others like it, we discover that the proliferation of religion in Israel left Yahowah with a difficult decision. He could continue to subject His Towrah, Shem, Beryth, Miqra’ey, and Ben to religious gerrymandering or conceal His witness from His already estranged people. He not only made the correct decision for the right reason, He knew in advance that He would deliver a resolution.

Clearly, Yahowah wants everyone to understand the Towrah, but He cannot allow anyone to pervert His Guidance or confuse others about His intent. And having seen well into the future, God realized that there was no remedy for this problem for the next 2,700 years because there were no Jews willing to listen to Him or learn from Him. Unable to communicate accurately and meaningfully with His People, God would keep the essence of Towrah 628under wraps. He would patiently wait for the proper occasion to reintroduce His name, present the conditions and benefits of the Covenant, and elucidate the purpose and timing of the Miqra’ey, while also reestablishing His Son’s reputation. Yahowah realized that He would eventually find someone He could teach, someone willing to listen and then share the insights gleaned from His testimony with Yahuwdym. That time is now.

Also telling: Yahowah continues to conceal the original autograph of His Towrah, the signed copy He provided Moseh. It is alongside the Ark of the Covenant beneath Mowryah in Yaruwshalaim. God does not want it treated as a religious artifact. And yet, through the Dead Sea Scrolls, Yahowah has secured access to the Teaching and Guidance within His Towrah for those willing to learn from Him.

Beyond these essential insights, it is also true that while God can be known, He has no interest in making it easy. Even though His agenda and timing remain a mystery to most, those who listen to Him confidently await the beneficial outcome He has promised. We know that He will return for Yisra’el with His Son because it is the right thing to do and because He told us He would do so.

Our attitude toward Yahowah, coupled with our desire to learn, determines our access to Him. Since this is where Yisra’el has failed, it explains why Yahowah deliberately concealed His presence from His People...

“Therefore (wa), I will wait in anticipation (chakah) for the approach of (la) Yahowah (Yahowah) who is concealing His presence (sathar paneh huw’) from the House (min beyth) of Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob). So (wa), I will confidently await the outcome which is beneficial and good, anticipating the ingathering (qawah) in association with Him (la huw’).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:17)

629The great naby’ | prophet, Yasha’yah, was called to write down Yahowah’s message so that we could read it. He was not responsible for attracting an audience, building a following, promoting this revelation, or saving anyone within his community. His assignment was to accurately convey Yahowah’s prophetic revelations – preparing us to complete the mission. And that is true of this statement and every other pronouncement found in Yasha’yah. It is both a textbook on proper Chotering and also a treatise on how to identify and respond to him.

Yahowah performed very few “signs and wonders,” especially in the sense of miracles, preferring reasoned rhetoric and accurate prophecies. Therefore, ‘owth and mowpheth are used in this next statement to represent something far more impressive and enduring, credible and useful. By conveying a message such as this, which accurately foretold future events, Yahowah proved that He is God, that He inspired these words, and that we can trust what He has to say. Rather than making the lame walk or the blind see, even resurrecting a rotting corpse, words that are proven to deliver the stated results can perfect and reconcile a Family worthy of God’s name into perpetuity.

It is impossible to overstate the importance of prophecy. What it accomplishes is more valuable than the universe and everything in it. What could be more important than proving Yahowah exists, than proving that His testimony in the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms can be trusted, than demonstrating that He has provided a means to develop a relationship with Him and that He is ready, willing, and able to empower and enrich our existence?

“Behold (hineh), I, Myself (‘any), and (wa) what I have conceived (ha yeled), which, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), Yahowah (Yahowah) has bestowed through me and placed before me (nathan la ‘any), serve as signs which illustrate the message (la ‘owth) and (wa) as inspiring and 630empowering symbols of important future events which will occur (la mowpheth) in Yisra’el (ba Yisra’el) in conjunction with (‘im) Yahowah (Yahowah) of the spiritual implements (tsaba’) who dwells, camping out (shakan) on (ba) the elevated ridgeline of (har) Tsyown (Tsyown).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:18)

These empowering miracles will be manifested in Yisra’el above the ridgeline of Tsyown. They will not occur in Mecca, the Vatican, or Washington. God has not moved. His home on Earth remains at the pinnacle of Tsyown on Mount Mowryah. If you want to camp out with Him, you will find Him there.

Even more revealing and pertinent, since there is no record of Yahowah providing inspiring signs in the skies above Jerusalem in our past, this is prophetic of our future. Yasha’yah is readdressing the Nes | Sign that Yahowah promised to raise in conjunction with His Choter in the days, weeks, months, and years prior to His return. His presentation, which is detailed in the 11^th chapter of Isaiah, explains how the Seven Spirits of Yahowah will be deployed to enable the Choter to deliver the result God intends.

At this time, the written Nes | Sign resides online, on the bookshelf at YadaYah.com, and, therefore, on smartphones, tablets, and computers worldwide. An audio narrative of God’s message has been available for two decades, with thousands of talk radio programs, the syndication of Shattering Myths, and many years of Yada Yah Radio programming. And as I write these words, I am building a recording studio to produce video testimonials as the Restoring Witness to the Eternal Testimony. Even prior to the publication of this volume of Coming Home, they will permeate YouTube and Rumble.

By contrast to Yahowah’s message, the most nuanced and overtly spiritual religion is Qabalah. It was conceived 631by and is fully integrated into Rabbinic Judaism. And like most Satanic counterfeits, Qabalah draws its credibility from the Towrah. With this in mind, please consider…

“And when (wa ky) they say to you (‘amar ‘al ‘atem), ‘You should consult (darash) with (‘el) the mediums who lived in the past (ha ‘owb) and (wa) the spiritualists (ha yada’ony) who meditate and mutter unfounded sentiments (ha hagah) and (wa) who twitter toxic musings (ha tsaphaph),’ instead, shouldn’t the people (ha lo’ ‘am) consult (darash) with (‘el) their God (‘elohym huw’) through (ba’ad) the living (ha chay) not (‘al) the dead (ha muwth)?” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:19)

And with these words, the Zohar and Talmud are impugned. Unless inspired by the living God, the voices of the past have as much merit as their rotting bones.

With the answer so obvious, why do as few as one in a million consult with God through the living? Why do billions listen to the dead? Paul is dead, as are Akiba and Muhammad. So is every Christian Saint, the sages among Rabbinic Talmudists, and successful suicide bombers among Islamic jihadists.

I want you to be aware that there were a number of options regarding the translation of ‘al, which I presented as “not,” at the conclusion of the previous statement. To begin,  can be transliterated as either ‘el or ‘al. As a noun, ‘el is “Almighty God.” As a preposition, ‘el is rendered as “to, toward, in the direction of, on, at, by, among, or for.” But ‘al can also serve to negate a verb or a noun as it is here with ha muwth. It seemed logical to select the definition which best fits the context of the discussion.

While there are shades of grey for those who have read the wrong material and listened to misleading clerics, for those speaking publicly about God, there is only light or darkness, right or wrong, truth and deception, life and death, Yahowah or Shachar. The single adjudicating factor 632determining which side of this divide the speaker or writer is on is whether or not their testimony is consistent with the Towrah and Ta’uwdah – Yahowah’s Source of Teaching and Guidance and His Written Testimony Regarding Restoration.

“If (‘im) they do not speak (lo’ ‘amar) in a manner consistent with (ka) the approach of (la) the Towrah | Teaching, Guidance, Instruction, and Direction (Towrah) and (wa) according to (la) the written Testimony which presents correct and corroborating information regarding restoration (ta’uwdah), that word and message (ha dabar ha zeh) by association (‘asher) lacks discernment, is unenlightened, and is for naught, akin to Shachar (‘ayn la huw’ shachar).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:20)

This is an accurate assessment of every religious text. They are disqualified by virtue of their inaccuracies and contradictions. Books as incongruent with each other as the Talmud and Towrah, or the New Testament and the Towrah, cannot coexist. And as a result, those who prefer faith to fact will cease to exist.

This has been Yisra’el’s problem all these many years. They favor the words of their sages and rabbis over God – citing the dead rather than the living. They give lip service to the Towrah while mouthing the words of the Talmud. The most acclaimed rabbis lacked discernment and served the Adversary. We know this because, in the 14^th chapter, Yasha’yah will reveal that Hylel ben Shachar is Satan’s name and that his spirit inspired these counterfeits so that he could replace the relationship with religion and serve as god within them.

When a person preaches from any one of Sha’uwl’s | Paul’s fourteen epistles, they lack discernment, their words are for naught, and they are headed to Shachar in She’owl. If a person is speaking or writing in a manner that is 633consistent with the Towrah and Ta’uwdah, Yahowah’s Source of Teaching and Guidance, they are discerning, their words matter, they are enlightening and on their way to Yahowah. In the end, this is the only litmus test approved by God.

As it relates to Shachar, in the Canaanite and Phoenician iteration of the Ba’al | Lord myth, as presented in the Tell Ras Shamra texts, shachar refers to the “dawn and its dim light emerging out of the darkness,” in addition to being the name of the Canaanite and Phoenician god, Shachar. The realization a pagan god bore this name is especially relevant because the central character in these myths is Ba’al | Lord, Yahowah’s principal name and title for Satan. In that they are fascinating, even revealing, there is a comprehensive review of the Ras Shamra texts in the 3^rd volume of Observations. In that review, you will find that many of their beliefs were incorporated into Judaism and Christianity.

Moving on to the conclusion of the 8^th chapter we find that having chosen to be religious rather than participate in the Covenant, having associated with Shachar rather than Yahowah, Yisra’el was headed in the wrong direction. And no matter how bad things became for them, they remained stubborn, which is perplexing.

“Then (wa) they will pass through it (‘abar ba hy’) stubborn and stiff-necked, strong-willed and perplexed (qashah), (wa) starving and famished (ra’eb). And it shall come to pass (wa hayah) when (ky) they are malnourished and weakened (ra’eb), they will become antagonized and provoked to anger, struggling with their change in prestige, showing dissension at having been uprooted and splintered (wa qatsaph). Their status will diminish, and they will be treated with contempt as a result of their propensity to slander and insult the reputation (qalal) of their King, and his leadership, counsel, and advice (ba melek huw’), and (wa) against 634their God (ba ‘elohym huw’), turning away (wa paneh), unfaithful in the relationship (la ma’al). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:21)

Unto the Land (wa ‘el ‘erets) they will look (nabat), but (wa) behold, they will see (hineh) disfavor (tsarah) and (wa) darkness (cheshkah) with discouraging (ma’uwph) oppression (tsowqah). And (wa) into a place devoid of light (‘aphelah), they will be driven and enticed (nadach).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 8:22)

And how many times have we heard Jews lament being “God’s Chosen People?” It is as if the abuse they have suffered was at His direction and not as a consequence of their own actions – and inaction.

The Towrah is resolute in this regard. If a people embrace the Covenant, they will prevail and if they reject Yahowah’s testimony, they will fail. And as it is so clearly stated in the Towrah, the status of those who reject Yahowah will be diminished. Why then have Yisra’elites chosen to slander and insult their God for having done precisely what He said He would do? Why do so many people find it so difficult to accept responsibility for their mistakes?

The Children of Yisra'el have not spoken in a manner consistent with Yahowah's Teaching and Guidance for three thousand years. As a result, the Chosen People remain shrouded in darkness. Their dysfunctional attitude and sense of superiority render their best and brightest resistant to advice – even when it comes from God. As a result, Yisra’elites find themselves demeaned, treated cruelly, often afflicted, and sometimes starving. Unable to accept responsibility for their decline in status and for having been uprooted from their land, the world would mock them, slandering and insulting their reputation as the Chosen People.

635As never before, Israel is a shattered nation, splintered between three incompatible factions: Progressives, Haredim, and Right-Wing Nationalists. The people are so incompatible, they can’t form a constitution. When they manage to cobble together disparate factions, those excluded tear it apart. Currently facing their delegitimization and annihilation, the Jews are tearing themselves apart, not only from one another, but also from God. Insult and slander have replaced rhetoric and reason. Getting their attention, and holding it long enough to speak sensibly to them, is a formidable challenge.

In Yasha’yah 8:21, “the King who has long sought to lead and advise” you, the Counselor Yisra’elites have “shown a propensity to diminish in importance,” is, of course, singular because melek is addressing Dowd, God’s Son, the Messiah, and our Savior. He is the only anointed King through whom Yahowah spoke to Yahuwdym. And it is through Dowd, through his Mizmowr / Psalms and Mashal / Proverbs, that Yisra’elites are being called home. This realization is especially poignant considering where all of this leads.

Similarly, there is but one King of Yisra’el who can be equated with God whom his people have insulted with their denial of his fulfillment of Chag Matsah – Dowd | David. His contribution to their lives has been deliberately diminished. Therefore, the conclusion of Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8, particularly verses 21 and 22, reveals the identity of the subject of the prophecy found in Isaiah 9:6. It addresses events that will transpire just prior to God’s return with His Son. And since Dowd is the only melek associated with Yahowah in this way, we have been afforded a rather important insight.

God’s unrelenting admonition against conspiracies is also relevant in this context because the most debilitating became the most popular: Replacement Theology. It was predicated upon taking everything away from Dowd and 636the Jews to give it to the Romans, to the Greeks, and to their Church. This happens to be the reason the upcoming prophecy is mistranslated and misappropriated, claiming for the Christian “Jesus” what Yahowah conveyed about His Son, Dowd. Not only is Christianity the most pervasive anti-Semitic conspiracy in world history, but the overwhelming preponderance of those prone to believe conspiracies are critical of Jews.

This horrible fate has befallen Yahuwdym because of the nearly universal failure among Jews to observe Yahowah’s Towrah, preferring instead to submit to rabbinical arguments and interpretations. It has been three thousand years since the Children of Israel spoke in a manner consistent with Yahowah’s Teaching and Guidance. As a result, the Chosen People have suffered a power outage, demonstrating a lemming-like propensity to walk away from the Light, such that Yisra’el has long been shrouded in darkness. This obscuring gloom would remain for millennia, mostly due to the collective and personal stubbornness of the Chosen People.

All the while, their homeland, Yisra’el | Israel, would remain a source of adversarial antagonism, shrouded in the darkness of oppressive religious regimes. It has even suffered the indignity of being renamed, “Palestine,” an ode to the nation’s long-extinct foes, the Philistines. Over one hundred generations of Israelites would live as outcasts, exiled from their Land and estranged from their God – all too often bearing the brunt of hideous conspiracies.

For most, being devoid of light will simply mean that their souls will fade away. But for some, their souls will be exiled, banished to the place wholly devoid of illumination – the black hole of She’owl.

For those predisposed to assume that anything this critical of Jews must be anti-Semitic, bite your tongue 637because I am reiterating what Yahowah had to say about “Jews” living yesterday and today. Surely, you do not think God is “anti-Semitic – against His Name, Yahowah, and yours, Yahuwdah?” Do you think that Yahowah would have bothered revealing this or that I would devote my life to sharing it with you if we thought that you were undeserving?

We are doing our utmost to shake the religion out of God’s People so that the descendants of Ya’aqob might come to embrace the relationship Yahowah established with his grandfather. I can assure you that I value you far more than the rabbis who have made merchandise of you as if you were theirs to influence, fleece, and control.

My genes say that I am a gowy | gentile, while my heart, mind, and soul know that I am Yahuwd | Beloved by Yah because I Yisra’el | Engage and Endure with God. While I could not change my ethnicity, I could and did change my attitude toward Yahowah. Having left religion, I came home to the Covenant, and it is from Yah’s Home that I am inviting you to come back home.

The last half of the 8^th chapter of Yasha’yah begins by telling us that we should not go along with the flow. The excuse that we were just following orders or that others are doing the same thing is not going to fly with God. Further, while Yahowah is Spirit, being spiritual is a bad idea because the most active spirits are those of demons. We also discovered that the affinity civilizations have for their founding fathers is not shared by God. If only we could effectively convey this to every religious person who believes they do not have to study because “the spirit will guide them.” One may, but more likely than not, the Devil’s Advocate will nudge them in the wrong direction.

Throughout the 8^th chapter of Yasha’yah, the focus has been on Jews. God’s case against the religiosity of His people remains consistent throughout the intervening 638millennia. And the centerpiece of God’s and His prophet’s rebuke is their rejection of Father and Son, denying the contributions they have made on their behalf.



As we turn the page past the artificial break between the 8^th and 9^th chapters of Yasha’yah / Isaiah, the subject remains the same as does the focus. We are approaching the Time of Israel’s Troubles. And yet, in the midst of this darkness, surrounded by adversarial influences, a shining moment is approaching when a ray of hope will grow into a beacon of light.

In that understanding is derived from context, before we step forward, let’s step back and remember where we have been…

“Yahowah expressed to me with unfolding implications, ‘Obtain for yourself a very large vellum scroll to make this widely known. Choose to write with a stylus in the common characters associated with mortal man because this concerns being senselessly eager to be looted and controlled by this treacherously despicable conflict. (Yasha’yah 8:1)

Therefore, I will call and sustain a Witness to testify for Me, whose pronouncements will be consistent with the evidence and logical, meticulous and reliable, restoring through the eternal testimony, trustworthy and dependable, consistent with Yahowah’s enlightenment, who functions in a priestly role, as counselor and advisor, and serves to teach and assist with regard to remembering Yahowah as blessed by children.’ (Yasha’yah 8:2)

And so, I approached as a prophet to conceive offspring, and Yahowah said to me, ‘Call his name, 639“Senselessly Impetuous” because he will be complicit in his victimization, being controlled and looted in this treacherously despicable conflict. (Yasha’yah 8:3) Surely, before the boy knows how to call out, “My father” or “My mother,” the militant prowess of Damascus along with the plunder of Samaria will be carried away before the presence of the dictatorial leadership and sovereign ruler of Assyria / Iran, Iraq, and Syria.’ (Yasha’yah 8:4)

Yet again, Yahowah spoke to me, continuing to testify, (Yasha’yah 8:5) to say, ‘Indeed, because the people have rejected and come to despise and spurn the waters of ha Shiloach | the One who is Sent Forth and dispatched, who walks, conducting his life by approaching as a gentleman, moving deliberatively in consideration of those in need, while also launching a scathing attack against Retsyn | the Self-Willed and Pleasure-Seeking and ben Ramalyahuw | the Children who are Exalted Over Yah. (Yasha’yah 8:6)

Therefore, pay attention, Yahowah, Almighty God, is withdrawing, and He is raising up for and against them, the waters of a powerful torrent and the flood of a forceful multitude, a throng of severe individuals, along with numerous militants from the rulers of ‘Ashuwr | Iran, Iraq, and Syria, including the entire manifestation of its power. And it will rise over all of its barriers and will travel over all its banks. (Yasha’yah 8:7)

It will sweep through Yahuwdah, exerting the considerable force of a flood while extending up to the neck, making contact with and violently striking while coming to stretch out its wings, filling the breadth of your land so that God is with Us. (Yasha’yah 8:8)

People, choose to associate yourselves with misleading shepherds, and you will have chosen to be 640confused, discouraged, broken, and dismayed. Elect to listen and respond to any distant country, arming yourself while preparing for your defense, girding yourself for war, and you will have chosen your own fate which is to be terrorized and bewildered, divided and destroyed. (Yasha’yah 8:9)

You may want to devise your schemes, planning your course of action in consideration of your own inclinations based on the revolting advice and counsel of others, but it will be nullified because you have chosen to be in violation of the Covenant. Should you elect to make a statement on your own initiative, it will not stand because, by contrast, ‘Imanuw’el | God is with Us.’ (Yasha’yah 8:10)

For indeed, this is what Yahowah said to me in a manner akin to a strong, empowering, and renewing hand and active influence, teaching me so that I would be correct, keeping me from walking in the ways of these particular people, approaching saying, (8:11) ‘I do not want you to ever speak of conspiracies, for anything which, by association, the people continue to claim is a conspiracy, a secret plot reflecting the covert plans of a group to carry out illegal and harmful acts. Do not respect or revel in that which concerns them, wondering about or fearing them.’ (Yasha’yah 8:12)

With regard to Yahowah of the spiritual implements, it is Him you should set apart unlike any other. And it is Him you should respect as awesome. It is Him you should be concerned about and be inspired by. (Yasha’yah 8:13)

So, He will become a sanctuary or a stone for dashing, a rock as an obstacle and obstruction for both Houses of Yisra’el, a trap and as a snare for the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim. (Yasha’yah 8:14) And then, many rabbis will stumble upon them and fall. 641They will be captured while clinging together, broken, and controlled. (Yasha’yah 8:15)

‘Wrap up and store by restricting the written Testimony, keeping the correct and corroborating information safe from those who oppose it, securing access by signing with a personal stamp to seal up the Towrah, the Source of Teaching and Guidance among those I am teaching as My receptive students.’ (Yasha’yah 8:16)

Therefore, I will wait in anticipation for the approach of Yahowah who is concealing His presence from the House of Ya’aqob. So, I will confidently await the outcome which is beneficial and good, anticipating the ingathering in association with Him. (Yasha’yah 8:17)

Behold, I, Myself, and what I have conceived, which, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship, Yahowah has bestowed through me and placed before me, serve as signs which illustrate the message and as inspiring and empowering symbols of important future events which will occur in Yisra’el in conjunction with Yahowah of the spiritual implements who dwells, camping out upon the elevated ridgeline of Tsyown. (Yasha’yah 8:18)

And when they say to you, ‘You should consult with the mediums who lived in the past, and the spiritualists who mutter unfounded sentiments and who twitter toxic musings,’ instead, shouldn’t the people consult with their God through the living, not the dead? (Yasha’yah 8:19)

If they do not speak in a manner consistent with the approach of the Towrah | Teaching, Guidance, Instruction, and Direction and according to the written Testimony, which presents correct and corroborating information regarding restoration, that word and 642message by association lacks discernment, is unenlightened, and is for naught, akin to Shachar. (Yasha’yah 8:20)

Then they will pass through it stubborn and stiff-necked, strong-willed and perplexed, starving and famished. It shall come to be when they are malnourished and weakened, they will become antagonized and provoked to anger, struggling with their change in prestige, showing dissension at having been uprooted and splintered. Their status will diminish, and they will be treated with contempt as a result of their propensity to slander and insult the reputation of their King and his leadership, counsel, and advice, and against their God, turning away, unfaithful in the relationship. (Yasha’yah 8:21)

Unto the Land they will look, but behold, they will see disfavor and darkness with discouraging oppression. And into a place devoid of light, they will be driven and enticed. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 8:22)

With this treatise on troubling times and troubled people failing to acknowledge Yahowah and His Towrah, and with God selecting a Witness to resolve these problems, the Prophet conveys Yahowah’s testimony, continuing to use the past to foretell the future…

“Indeed (ky – truthfully and nevertheless), there has been no lack of counsel, no reason for discouragement, or inability to flee from the darkness (lo’ muw’aph la hy’ – there is no reason for doom and gloom, despair or dejection because there is no shortage of advice and wisdom on how to take flight; from ‘uwph – ability to take flight and fly away) for those subjugated and constrained along the way (la ‘asher muwtsaq – for those restricted and oppressed, for those deprived of liberty who endure hardships during distressing times as a result of the relationship) as there was during the previous time (ka 643ha ‘eth ha ri’shown – as was the case prior, and in comparison to the initial occasion) when He receded from (qalal – when He came to disdain and show little regard for (hifil perfect)) the land of Zabuwluwn (‘erets Zabuwluwn – Zebulun, son of Ya’aqob and Leah, place of the honored and exalted and where the egotistical reside and brag about themselves) and the land of Naphthaly (wa ha ‘erets Naphthaly – Naphtali, son of Ya’aqob and Bilhah, place of twisting and wrestling).

In this latter time, during the last days (wa ha ‘acharown – yet in the end), He will deal harshly with the troublesome nature of (kabed – He will struggle with the intensely oppressive and onerous weight and the grievous and bothersome nature of the dimwitted, harsh, stubborn, and intransigent masses associated with the large, pretentious populations of people of (hifil perfect)) the way of the sea (derek ha yam – the path of the water and a metaphor for Gentiles) beyond (‘eber – across and on the eastern and opposite side of) the Yarden | to Go Down (ha Yarden – the Jordan River, to descend, from yarad – to go down), of Galyl | the Circuitous and Convoluted Way (Galyl – Galilee, turning and circuitous, rolling away and convoluted, the pivot point of the sociopolitical realm, the open doorway) of the Gowym | Gentiles (Gowym – the confluence of ethnicities, non-Yisra’elites, and other nations).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 9:1)

This prophecy continues to be addressed to Yisra’el which, as a nation, was united under the watchful and protective eye of the Messiah. However, just 40 years after Dowd’s initial reign, in 932 BCE, the Northern Kingdom of Yisra’el parted ways with Yahuwdah, establishing a rift that would endure until reconciled on Yowm Kipurym in the Yowbel year of 6000 Yah.

Yahowah abandoned the Northern Kingdom when their king, Yarob‘am crafted the Golden Calves and 644created a substitute for Pesach in 931 BCE. This left Yisra’el susceptible to attack, beginning with the Egyptians in 927 BCE. After the horrendous religious perversions perpetrated by Ahab and Jezebel, the breach became irresolvable. Trying to survive in a tough neighborhood, life became so tenuous that by 740 BCE, and through the next twenty years, Tiglath-Pilesar II, Shalamaneser V, and Sargon II of Assyria had their way with Yisra’el. Then, as predicted in Howsha’, God gave up and withdrew from Judea, leaving the land and people vulnerable to the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Oppression would continue under the Roman Church, followed by the abuse of Muslims and the Third Reich. The subjugation of Jews continues today under Progressives and Socialists.

And yet, even then, there has always been a means to flee the darkness which remains open to those willing to trust the Towrah, its Miqra’ey and Beryth. So long as Yisra’el listens to Yahowah and responds, God stands ready to defend His People.

For the tens of millions of Jews who have suffered grave indignities at the hands of conspiratorial Gentiles, Yahowah’s assertion that they could have escaped may seem incredulous. And that is largely because they sought the wrong kind of relief through a nameless G-d and HaShem and a lifeless religion. Upon careful consideration, there never was any rational reason for Yahowah to intervene to protect or heal anyone here on Earth because no one sought His help. And while that is counter to every religious notion, it is nonetheless true.

It is a simple concept. If you want someone to help you, don’t insult them, disregard their instructions, or call them by the wrong name.

We would be wise to acknowledge that Yahowah has already provided all of the advice and counsel we would 645ever need. There is no reason to be alone, living in the darkness, dismayed or discouraged. As long as we know where to look and whom to trust, the light of life illuminates the path Home, and therein, Yahowah’s Family awaits our arrival with open arms.

While it may be painful to admit, had Rabbi Akiba not foisted Judaism, the Talmud, and a false Messiah upon Jews residing in Judea, they would not have been bludgeoned by the Romans, expelled from Judea as slaves causing the Diaspora, or witnessed the rebranding of Yahuwdah as Philistia – now Palestine. There would have been no isolation in Sheitels or ghettos, no pogroms, and no Holocaust. The injury was religious, and it was self-inflicted. And according to Yahowah, it was not for a lack of counsel.

Based upon His people’s preference for religion over relationship, and men’s words to His own, Jews precluded Yahowah from intervening to protect them or anyone else in the same predicament. And while that is counter to every religious notion, it is as it should be. There would be no reason for God to intercede on behalf of those who are lying about Him and who haven’t bothered to listen. Doing so would undermine everything He has said and done.

The key to understanding this pronouncement is that Yahowah has already provided all of the advice and counsel Jews or Gentiles would ever need to live free and fulfilling lives. It’s simply a matter of knowing where to look and whom to trust. For most of the past 3,000 years, Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym have chosen poorly and have suffered for it. One would have thought that, after being humiliated and abused by the Philistines, Assyrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Roman Catholics, Muslims, Europeans, Nazis, Communists, and now Progressives, somewhere along the way there would have been another Hezekiah moment.

646Over the course of 30 centuries of constant failure and collective persecution, why not pick up a copy of the Towrah and do as Chazaqyah had done when besieged by 185,000 Assyrian soldiers – a force 60 times larger than the one that invaded on 10.07.23? He was successful, while Israel failed because, rather than fighting the human adversaries, Hezikiah rid Judea of the Adversary, removing all traces of religion. Then he and his people celebrated the Mow’edym of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym as instructed. It worked and no other approach has prevailed since that time. Isn’t the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?

The noted exception to Yahowah’s prerogative not to intervene in our current reality to protect and heal His children, or anyone for that matter, is depicted in Mizmowr 91, where those He has chosen for a mission are sufficiently defended to get the job done. And even then, such individuals are typically subjected to more headaches and heartaches than others, such that they are better prepared to achieve the desired result. The ultimate example was Dowd, a man whose identity has been stolen and whose character has been assassinated.

But make no mistake, even for them, intervention and protection are afforded because they value Yahowah’s counsel and are bold in their condemnation of religion and politics while aggressively reaching out to the Yisra’elites who have heretofore rejected Yahowah. Moreover, now that we are in the midst of the ‘acharown | last days, recognize that the distinction between those working with Yahowah and against Him will be dramatic because the time has come for God to rebuke Yisra’el’s enemies – and particularly the galyl | convoluted religious and political ways of the gowym.

Even those living in Zabuwluwn and Naphthaly could have been emancipated long ago had they read and accepted the Towrah, Mizmowr, wa Naby. And yet, it 647wouldn’t have been easy because there was no one from either tribe through whom Yahowah could reiterate or explain His message of liberation.

While God is knowable without a personal introduction, such connections seldom occur because societal interference and institutional obstacles are nearly insurmountable. Therefore, the principal difference in this timeline between then and now is that God, rather than retreating, is about to return. If you are reading this during the last days, capitalize on your good fortune.

Turning to some of the most intriguing details, rather than just say ‘Ephraym or Yisra’el, or list the ten tribes that comprised the Northern Kingdom, Yahowah chose Zebuwluwn and Naphthaly for a specific reason. Both sons were born out of envy, with Leah and Rachel fighting to impress Ya’aqob, enticing him with their servants. Their allocation of land was the furthest from Yaruwshalaim, but as such, it was closest to the marauding Gentiles who would capitalize upon this and oppress them.

This narrow region leading into the heart of the nation served as the doorway into Yisra’el for the likes of the Amalekites and Hittites, the Assyrians and Babylonians, followed by the Greeks and Romans, the Byzantines and Ottomans, and more recently, Hezbollah. Less than a year or two from now, and after the fall of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, as predicted in Yasha’yah 17, it will be the entry point for the combined force of Islamic jihadists that stream into Israel a year after the imposition of the “Two-State Solution” in May 2026.

Zebuwluwn and Naphthaly are mentioned together in Shaphat / Judges 5:18: “Zebuwluwn were a people who despised and jeopardized their lives unto death, and Naphthaly, also, in the high places of the field.” This was among the reasons God withdrew from them and may be why they were called out for scrutiny in this passage, now 648facing an entirely different fate.

Of Naphthaly, they were among those shouting curses at the people from Mount Ebal. In response, “the Lowy answered them and said, ‘Cursed is the man who makes an idol or a graven image – an abomination to Yahowah – the work of the craftsman’s hands which is clandestinely established. Cursed is he who dishonors his Father and Mother… Cursed is he who misleads a blind person…or who distorts justice,...who engages in incest or bestiality,…who strikes his neighbor, accepts a bribe, or who does not confirm the words of this Towrah / Teaching by acting upon them.’” (Dabarym 27:14-26) Having committed these offenses, Yahowah rejected them with prejudice.

We now have extant evidence in the form of a lead tablet dating to the Late Bronze Age II (1400-1300 BCE) that Naphthaly did, indeed, proclaim these curses in this very place. More than just proving the early existence of the Hebrew alphabet, this tablet’s age, location, and message are consistent with something Moseh said to the Children of Yisra’el in Dabarym / Deuteronomy 11:26-32 which was then confirmed by Yahowsha’ ben Nuwn in Yahowsha’ / Joshua 8:30-35. The parallels are undeniable.

The world first became aware of this tablet on March 24^th, 2022, when archeologists led by Dr. Scott Stripling and his team of scholars from the Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) held a videotaped press conference at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston, Texas to announce their discovery. Subsequently, their findings were proven accurate through the publication of a peer-reviewed scientific journal article. The lead tablet found beside the altar atop Mount Ebal dates to the time of Joshua when the Children of Israel first entered the Promised Land.

Its discovery rivals the importance of the Dead Sea Scrolls, in part because the Ancient Hebrew script inside of 649the folded tablet offers an amazing validation of the earliest phonetic alphabet and an irrefutable affirmation of the entry into the Promised Land at the conclusion of the Exodus. It invalidates the arrogant and unGodly theories of Biblical scholars whose hypothesis suggests that the Torah was written by a committee comprised of the Jahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, and Priestly sources between 950 and 450 BCE, rather than by Moseh between 1447 and 1407 BCE.

Everything about it is consistent, affirming the same story, from the style of the letters matching what was expected, the vocabulary used, the message conveyed, the paleography dating to the correct period, the age of the lead and existence of the mine, the age, location, and nature of the site from which it was unearthed, the accompanying pottery shards, and even two scarab seals, both assigned to the reign of Thutmose III who reigned from 1479 to 1425 BCE. Considering all of this, the likelihood of authenticity is astronomically high.

As I have alluded, Naphthaly’s birth was enveloped in a spat of sibling rivalry. We discovered in Bare’syth 30 that Rachel became jealous because her sister, Leah, had been able to give birth to four sons, Reuben, Simeon, Lowy, and Yahuwdah, while she appeared barren. So, she arranged for Ya’aqob to impregnate Bilhah, her maid. Bilhah conceived and Rachel named the maid’s first son, Dan. It was Bilhah’s second son with Ya’aqob that Rachel called Naphthaly. She did so because: “Rachel said, ‘As part of a great struggle, I have wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed.’ Therefore, she called his name Naphthaly.”

His name was based upon pathal, which is “to twist and to wrestle.” But it also means “to be tortuously crooked.” In addition, an argument can be made that Naphthaly is related to “pathah – to entice, deceive, seduce, and persuade.”

650That was then, but what about “ha ‘acharown – later – during the Last Days?” Now that Yahowah has reconciled His relationship with Yisra’el, what about the Gowym? The answer is predicated on whether we translate kabed negatively or favorably. Since there are countless Hebrew words with a dark and light side, it is the context that determines their connotations. And in this case, we must ascertain whether we think Yahowah will come to look favorably upon “derek ha yam ‘eber ha Yarden – the way of the sea on the opposing side of the Jordan” which is “galyl – the pivot point of the sociopolitical realm and the open doorway” of “ha Gowym – the Gentile nations.” I think not, but, then again, yam can refer to any one of three seas or to Gentiles, and galyl can also be rendered as “Galilee.” But if we don’t read “Gentile” for yam, how does any one of the three “seas” have a “way” of which Yah can either “kabed – reward and honor” or see as “kabed – irrational and pretentious?”

Since God does not judge inanimate objects, kabed cannot be applied to a river or to a sea. It must, therefore, describe people and their nations. And Yahowah has been crystal clear regarding the ways of “ha Gowym – the Gentile nations:” emulate them and die. Since He is unchanging, kabed’s negative implications apply.

Because we are told elsewhere in the Prophets, including by Yasha’yah, that this will be a day of punitive reckoning for Gowym, it is readily apparent that Yahowah is going to “kabed – deal harshly with the stubborn and irrational, and troublesome nature,” of the Gentiles, particularly those influenced by the nations His Son, Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Courageous Man, a.k.a., Dowd, depicted as beasts in his revelation in Dany’el / Daniel. These include Babylon, Persia, Greece, Imperial Rome, and the Roman Catholic Church. To these monstrous empires and institutions, God will add those who have cursed Yisra’el more recently, invading, 651oppressing, and subjugating His people, especially those who have done so from the northeast (through the land of Zebuwluwn and Naphthaly).

This brings us to galyl. It could be addressing a number of things. On some occasions, it is transliterated “Galilee” and serves as the name of the only significant watershed in Yisra’el, a freshwater lake that has been referred to as a sea. It serves as the headwaters of the Yarden | Jordan River and is located beneath the Golan Heights in northeastern Yisra’el. It is in the territory of the Naphthaly, but it is also linked to the Zebuwluwn as a result of the two prophecies associating them with the sea.

However, in this sentence, galyl is identified with Gowym and not with either of the Yisra’elite tribes. And since Yahowah considers the Galyl | Galilee part of Yisra’el, and the source of the Yarden | Jordan, He could not have been speaking of the Sea of Galilee in this prophetic statement.

Recognizing that it isn’t being used as a proper name or a title, we need to consider the meaning of the word. A search of the lexicons reveals that a “galyl – is a pivot point and hinge pin, an open doorway, a district or region, a sociopolitical realm, or a circuitous and convoluted path.” As such, Yahowah is holding the “sociopolitical realm of the Gentiles” accountable for what they have done, especially those who have penetrated Yisra’el at the open door and pivot point along the nation’s northeastern border with Syria near the flashpoint known as the Golan Heights.

Addressing the convoluted and circuitous thinking of Gentiles, this prophecy was corrupted in the Gospel of Matthew with a twisted and inaccurate rendition which reads: “And leaving Nazareth [which did not exist until the early 4^th century and the rise of Roman Catholicism] he [“Jesus”] went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali so that what was spoken 652by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: ‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death on them a light has dawned.’” (Matthew 4:13-16)

That was so divergent from the actual prophecy, it is clearly a Catholic creation. Compare it to: “Indeed, there has been no lack of counsel, no reason for discouragement, nor inability to flee for those who have been deprived of their freedom and constrained along the way as there was during the previous time when He receded from the land of Zabuwluwn and the land of Naphthaly. And so, in the latter time, He will struggle with the intensely oppressive and onerous weight, as well as the grievous and troublesome nature of the dimwitted and intransigent masses associated with the way of the sea beyond the Yarden | to Go Down of Galyl the Circuitous and Convoluted way of the Gowym | Gentiles,” followed by…

“The people (ha ‘am – the family or nation of kinsmen who share the same ethnicity, culture, and language, and who are biologically related, typically used in reference to Yisra’el and to distinguish Yisra’elites from Gowym (singular masculine)) who will walk (ha halak – who will travel through life (qal participle – a verbal adjective that should be interpreted literally and relationally)) in the darkness and were confused (ba ha choshek – in ignorance without the light, obscured and unenlightened) will be shown at that moment (ra’ah – will be able to observe at that time (qal perfect – an actual, wholly complete, and thus not ongoing, revelation of)) an astonishing and important (gadowl – an extensive and expansive, a great and distinguished, an older and enabling, an especially forceful and capable; from gadal – to become important and enable growth by accomplishing great 653things, to be magnified and empowered) light (‘owr – source of enlightenment presented in absolute contrast to darkness, with warmth and brilliance akin to the sun).

For those who have dwelt (yashab – those who have lived and who may remain (qal participle – literally and vividly)) in the realm (ba ‘erets – in the land of) the shadow of death (tsalmaweth – the foreboding darkness of dying; from tsel – shadow impeding the light and maweth – death, perishing at the hands of others, often executed prematurely after being dispatched to die), the light (‘owr – the source of enlightenment presented in absolute contrast to the surrounding darkness, with warmth and brilliance akin to the sun) will shine brilliantly upon them to enlighten them at that time (nagah ‘al hem – will be presented as a luminary over them, providing the enlightenment, knowledge, and understanding needed to respond appropriately at that moment; attractive, even beautiful, in his appearance and radiant in his demeanor before them (qal perfect – actually and completely, but for a finite period of time (masculine plural in reference to the members of the ‘am – family))).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 9:2)

We are approaching the dawn of a new day. And while the gloom will become more foreboding, beginning with the 1^st day of the 7^th month, on Taruw’ah in year 6000 Yah, the darkness will give way to light. The religiously and politically oppressed are on the cusp of being liberated. And while that is the best possible news for Israel, God is also announcing that He will hold the Gentile nations accountable for what they have done to antagonize His people.

The day which Christians have longed to see will become their nightmare. After two Ingatherings of Covenant Members leave the planet without them and then a remnant of Yahuwdym is saved from them, the actual Son of God and Messiah will return with Yahowah. And as 654such, this prophecy does not address the worthless counterfeit Jesus Christ or the conception of a Gentile Church.

This portion of this prophecy opened with a condemnation of Gentiles. And preceding that, we heard an appeal to return to Yahowah and His Towrah. It is, therefore, not predicting the birth of a religion opposed to both. Further, the gowym during the advent of the Christian era were the killers, unlike the Jews who would soon live under death’s shadow.

But that’s the rub. In 33 CE, neither Jews nor Gentiles were living under the shadow of death. Further, there was no light of any significance publicly seen or recorded at that time. Therefore, the prophecy does not depict events in year 4000 Yah. So, even if “Jesus” were not a crude counterfeit, it could not apply to him.

Further nullifying the counterfeit’s claim to this prophecy, there is no credible evidence to suggest that a single gowy at the time, much less many, witnessed or understood the fulfillment of Bikuwrym. As the darkness of Pesach and the lightlessness of Matsah gave way to the moment when the Spirit brought Dowd’s nepesh | soul home during Bikuwrym, the only credible witness was the participant. Therefore, no part of this fits the prior dates.

Based upon the words Yasha’yah selected, his prophecy is addressing Yisra’elites living in the last days, at the conclusion of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. Those who will have taken advantage of the cleansing waters and searing flames associated with the sacrifice of the Red Heifer on Taruw’ah, will be prepared to see Dowd’s light, as brilliant as the sun, as he returns alongside Yahowah. And there is no denying that these Yisra’elites will have lived through the shadow of death.

Dowd’s brilliance has illuminated the observant for three thousand years. Our eyes are finally being opened to 655his inspiring intelligence. He is the homing beacon Yahowah empowered to guide His family.

However, at this moment, the most enlightening Witness is Yada. This will change on October 2^nd, 2033, not because the Choter’s light will dim, but because Dowd is the greater luminary addressed during the Creation account and his arrival is nigh. And by comparison, the King’s Basar is the lesser luminary of the Mow’edym, reflecting the Son’s light and thus in the role of the moon.

Therefore, there is a Gentile duly associated with King Dowd and with this occasion. And his job is to make certain Yisra’elites are aware of Yahowah’s name and the name of their Messiah and Savior. In addition, as the final Zarowa’, Yada has been assigned the responsibility of cultivating the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Qatsyr | Harvests.

In this regard, as we approach the next statement, there are two ways to translate “rabah ha gowy.” The first predicts the arrival of a singular and empowered non-Yisra’elite who plays the most significant role in the enlightenment of God’s people pursuant to announcing the arrival of the gadowl ‘owr | greater light.

The second has Dowd referring to Yahowah’s Family as a great “gowy | nation,” which is improbable on this occasion because Yisra’el will be in tatters by this time and will remain so until after Dowd’s return. Not only is the Messiah tasked with saving his people from the brink of extinction at the hands of Gowym, there will only be a remnant remaining.

Further, because the Gentiles will have been the source of the ensuing darkness, God is not going to have us confuse one for the other. Therefore, in light of Dowd’s incontrovertible declaration in the 118^th Mizmowr of ridding the world of Gentiles upon his return, it’s inconceivable that Yah would refer to His ‘am | family as a gowy | gentile nation during the last days.

656With this in mind, we are left with the realization that Yahowah is addressing the role this gowy as the Nakar | Observant Foreigner will play in drawing His people back to the Light of the world by amplifying His word. This is the most literal rendering of the phrase rabah ha gowy…

“You will have raised up and enabled a gentile (rabah ha gowy – You will have increased the capability of this particular gowy to magnify and amplify, rearing him as if he were Your own offspring, empowering and expanding the ability of this individual who is ethnically unrelated and who comes from a distant place and time, equipping the Gentile, or alternatively: You have increased the nation (hifil perfect second-person masculine singular – Yahowah is responsible for enabling this lone gowy, empowering him such that he begins to reflect Yah’s nature and intent by amplifying His Word for a period of time)) without boasting or exalting Yourself, nor improperly speaking of the favors You sought to bestow (lo’ gadal – without glorifying or promoting Yourself (hifil perfect – You trained the gowy such that he could represent You in an unpretentious manner)).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:3 in part)

No matter how one translates rabah ha gowy, this did not occur in 33 CE, and not on behalf of Christianity, even if one foolishly accepts the evolving myths of the New Testament. While a powerful nation, Yahowah had nothing to do with Rome. From His perspective, they were the most vicious and anti-Jewish of beasts. He did not raise them up on this occasion, nor did He enable their savage destruction of His Temple, Land, People, and Son. Moreover, from this point forward, Rome began to disintegrate under the weight of her own grotesque immorality.

Likewise, this cannot speak of Judea because the tiny province would soon cease to exist. Rome would persecute Jews, robbing, enslaving, and murdering God’s chosen to their last gasping breath.

657Should you question why Yahowah would promise through this prophecy to raise up and enable a gowy to call His people home while not exalting Himself, the answer is found in Shemowth / Exodus and Dabarym / Deuteronomy. Long ago, when the Towrah was first revealed, Yahowah understood that His overwhelming presence, light, and voice intimidated the Children of Yisra’el because they did not know Him – which is the opposite of what He intended. And so, He would refrain from lo’ gadal | speaking directly of the favors He had sought to bestow upon His people.

And yet, Yahowah knew that He had to address Yahuwdym to get them to come home prior to the fulfillment of Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah or there would be no Family Reunion. Therefore, in the preamble of the most profound prophecy regarding what He was planning to do to make this possible, He introduced the gowy who would serve as His Qowl | Voice and ‘Ed | Witness. For a finite time, God equipped an Observant Foreigner such that he would represent Him in an unpretentious manner.

You are witnessing the fulfillment of this prophecy and perhaps seeing it for the first time since these words were scribed circa 743 BCE (777 and 2,777 years prior to Dowd’s fulfillment of the Spring and Fall Mow’edym). A gowy has been raised up and enabled by God to herald Dowd’s arrival as the Light. As proof that this is true, this lone Gentile is the first and only individual to rationally and irrefutably demonstrate that this entire prophecy, one relentlessly denied by Jews and incessantly claimed by Christians, speaks of the Messiah and Son of God – Dowd. He, as the Chosen One, is also the subject of Deuteronomy 18, 2 Samuel 7, Isaiah 53, the 89^th Psalm, and Zakariah 12.

Yahowah’s Prophets scribed His revelations so that we could read them thousands of years later with no degradation in fidelity. Then, His Witness shared and 658explained what they revealed so that God’s people could hear Him speak to them again at long last. From that lone exception on Choreb, when His voice boomed from atop the mountain, Yahowah has communicated with Yisra’el through naby’ | prophets and ‘edah | witnesses. The former were always Yisra’elites like Moseh, Dowd, and Yasha’yah, while the role Basar | Human Herald is best suited for a Nakar | Observant Foreigner.

What changed is that God’s people not only stopped listening to Him, they told Yahowah to go away and shut up. Since that time, God’s voice has been drowned out by power-hungry men with religious and political agendas. Over this vast chasm of time, Yahowah searched the world to find a single Yahuwd among His chosen who would respond, but there was nothing but a deafening silence.

Since this problem was so pervasive, and His solution so exceptional, Yahowah decided that the best course of action was to warn Yisra’el in advance of it occurring so that when it happened as predicted, they would recognize and pay attention to the Choter, Nakar, Basar, Qowl, and Zarowa’ of God’s choosing. And in the process, Yahuwdym would come to know Yahowah’s name as well as the identity of their Messiah and Savior.

This would not be a once-and-done announcement from God to His people. The Almighty would ask His prophets to speak of this final witness often, addressing his role at the most opportune moments. And what could be more fortuitous than this one, with the gowy presented in the preamble of His most commonly recited prophecy regarding His Son and the work they would accomplish together?

Yahowah is on record announcing that He would fortify a gowy in support of His Homecoming and Family Reunion – to witness the emergence of the great luminary after a dark and deadly time of troubles. He would prop His 659Witness up and empower him, equipping him to do what Yahuwdym should have done. It would be like using a candle to announce the sunrise. This would be a miracle worth elaborating on.

It would not be the first time that Yahowah would move His people with a single, seemingly outmatched, and unpretentious individual. On a similar occasion, and as a prelude to an earlier yatsa’ | exodus, He confronted the most egotistical nation on Earth to retrieve the Children of Yisra’el using a stuttering shepherd. It worked previously, so why not this time?

However, to properly calibrate our expectations, 34 centuries ago, only two of the six hundred thousand God sought to rescue actually made it into the Promised Land – and even that took forty years. This time, there would be only 32 years without the possibility of an extension – and 3½ of those would be off planet. However, while I am not, and no one is, of Moseh’s caliber, the potential audience has grown thirtyfold, and the technology needed to reach them is infinitely superior. Moreover, Yahowah has proven His existence and reliability through thousands of written prophetic proclamations like this one, revealing everything we need to know to prevail.

Fortunately, the mission has been forecast to be successful. Those who are willing to listen will be delighted with the outcome of our journey. The final harvest may be relatively small, but it will be joyous. Yah’s people are coming home…

“The delight (simchah – the elation and cheerful attitude, the pleasure and happiness) they will joyfully express (samach – they (addressing the ‘am – family) will happily manifest, outwardly conveying their cheerful contentment at that moment in time (qal perfect)) as they approach Your presence (la paneh ‘atah – as they draw near and appear before You) will be comparable to (ka – 660will be similar to) the jubilation experienced (simchah – the happiness and cheerfulness, the elation and pleasure, the delight expressed) during the harvest (ba ha qatsyr – in the collecting of the fruit during the time of reaping in the proper season), consistent with (ka ‘asher – comparable to) rejoicing over the favorable circumstances (gyl – the gladness expressed in joyous shrieks, shouts, and songs (qal imperfect – genuinely and continually)) when they are apportioned (ba chalaq hem – with their assignment, distribution, and allotment of (piel infinitive – they receive the benefits of the inheritance with the apportionment expressed as an actionable noun regarding)) that which is valuable (shalal – the good property and possessions offered to the victorious who prevail as a spoil).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 9:3)

Since God’s idea of a joyous harvest isn’t counted in the deaths and enslavement of His people, this event did not occur in year 4000 Yah / 33 CE. Therefore, one would have to be religious to believe that the ensuing prophecy was addressing the mythical misnomer, Jesus.

A jubilant harvest and joyous apportionment are the results of the Miqra’ey enabling the Beryth. Yahuwdym have been invited to attend the harvests and share in the distribution of the Covenant’s benefits. As such, this message is for returning Yisra’elites, for those who will answer Yahowah’s Invitation to engage in the Familial Relationship – particularly on the evening of Taruw’ah, 09.23.33, which is when the final harvest of Covenant members will be reaped. And then as the sun rises on Yowm Taruw’ah on the Shabat on September 24^th, 2033, the sacrifice of the Red Heifer will prepare the mortal remnant of Yisra’el left behind for the glorious events scheduled for Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations ten days thereafter.

It cannot be for the religious. At the behest of rabbis, 661Jews deny Dowd’s fulfillment of the Mow’edym – especially Pesach. They eliminated Matsah, they deny Bikuwrym, they believe Shabuw’ah was fulfilled 3,472 years ago, they replaced Taruw’ah with a Babylonian holiday, and they upended Kipurym such that it is the opposite of its intent. It cannot be for Christians either because they disdain the Miqra’ey and replaced them all with pagan holidays. And they substituted a New Testament for the Beryth and “Jesus” for Dowd.

Since it is by making connections that we learn, at the conclusion of this review, I will bring our attention back to God’s message in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:3. We will compare it to what He said through Zakaryah / Zechariah about His return with His Son Dowd. The similarities are inspiring.

Having written the textbook on how to serve as the Choter, it is common for Yasha’yah to speak of a Gentile being Spiritually enabled and empowered, freed of financial, religious, and political burdens, who is lifted up and equipped to explain his prophecies and announce Dowd’s return while calling Yahuwdym home. The reason for Yasha’yah’s exuberance for this witness is because, when he was taken to Heaven and the door was opened in his presence, no one was waiting outside prepared to enter. As prolific and brilliant as he was, Yasha’yah’s message did not resonate with his people and wouldn’t for some 27 centuries thereafter. So, when he was shown that his words would be heralded to call his people home, such that Yowm Kipurym would become something to celebrate, he was naturally prone to promote this voice. Therefore, you are reading the result of Yahowah’s commitment to awakening His people such that they understand His prophet before it is too late.

In light of this next statement, however, while the role is important, and while fulfilling it consumes every waking moment, the Ruwach has provided so much assistance, it isn’t a burden but, instead, a great joy. With this in mind, 662as we move toward the climax of this magnificent prophecy, we find that the last masculine singular reference in this next pronouncement addresses ha gowy | the gentile responsible for disseminating God’s message such that the result would be a joyous homecoming and reunion.

“For (ky – indeed) the constraints (‘ol – the frame and straps of a yoke used to control working animals; from ‘alal – to act severely and wantonly, dealing harshly and ruthlessly) of burdensome labor, economic pressures, and societal challenges pertaining to him (sobel huw’ – of demands on his time, resulting hardships, or compulsory obligations) and (wa) that which is associated with (‘eth) the religious or political influences (mateh – the ruling symbol of religious authority and its ability to control and compel capitulation) continually upon his back, especially early on (shekem huw’ – repeatedly against his neck and shoulder at the beginning), You will have diminished and even eliminated because You don’t appreciate these things (chathath – You have shattered and discouraged that which You dislike and disavow as distracting and divisive, dashing and breaking their destructive influence) along with the rod and scepter of governmental authority over him (shebet ha noges ba huw’ – the goad of political and institutional influence and control over him, the club of those seeking to exploit him based upon partisan divisions, people who like to make and enforce rules acting like his slave drivers and tax collectors, those forcing him into hard labor and exacting payment from him as he engages in the marketplace as a merchant).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 9:4 in part)

This addresses the freedom and support the gowy | non-Yisra’elite, who is to be engaged by God to call His people home for their Kipurym reunion, will enjoy so that the mission is accomplished. Always consistent, Yahowah has now recruited this foreigner using the same criteria 663He deployed when selecting Moseh | the One who Draws Out. Moses knew nothing about Yahowah, not even His name, at the time of his calling, but he had a keen understanding of the ill effects of the political, religious, military, and economic forces at play in Mitsraym. The depravity of man’s way was readily discernible to Moseh, which is why he rejected it and became a shepherd.

Rather than enduring the drudgery of warning us about religion and politics, our Father prefers addressing more positive things like His Towrah, His Miqra’ey and His Beryth. Sharing His guidance is enjoyable, while disparaging religion and politics is annoying. Moseh required no instruction on the latter, allowing Yahowah to focus on the mission at hand.

Religion is a nasty business – something God clearly wants to avoid. Therefore, out of the hundreds of millions of souls occupying the planet at that time, God chose the ideal person, one already predisposed to demonstrate His disdain for these controlling human contrivances. Yah would teach him the rest. The Towrah is the result.

Moving forward a few thousand years, and on the cusp of the final exodus, God’s predilections have not changed. Therefore, He found and solicited, then equipped and enabled a Gentile in a similar situation. With so much to accomplish in such a short time, there would be no distractions. God, therefore, diminished the Witness’ economic burdens. And He picked a fellow who was both well acquainted with and averse to religion and politics. Yahowah would have his undivided attention. And He would need it because there would be a lot to learn and share.

Fortunately, the information Yahowah wanted him to convey was readily available and easily verified. Freed from distractions and benefitting from God's overwhelming support, this gowy could devote the time 664to tell the intellectually captivating story of our God and His Son.

For the first time in over two thousand years, words and insights that had eluded man’s grasp would be acknowledged. In the process, Yahowah would become known to more Yahuwdym prior to His return than would have otherwise occurred. And the realization that none of this would require another prophet or additional revelation is especially relevant because it means that the truth has always been available to God’s people – even if it went unnoticed.

And while the outcome is known, the debate will continue to rage until we reach the limit of time. In the battle of ideas between the world’s most popular religious faith and the Word of God, a person’s acceptance of Yahowah’s name, an appreciation of His Towrah, Beryth, and Miqra’ey, and their perceptions regarding Dowd will ultimately serve as the fulcrum upon which their lives pivot. Central to that debate is whether this prophecy pertains to a man or a myth, to Ben ‘El, ha Mashyach, Melek, wa Ra’ah, the Zarowa’ and the Pesach ‘Ayil or to a nightmarish creature concocted upon the myths which underlie Dionysus and Odysseus, Osiris and Bacchus.

On Dowd’s side of the ledger, there are a thousand fulfilled prophecies and declarative statements. On the other side, there is nothing. The comparison is between a man whose name is stated over 1,000 times versus one whose name was never mentioned.

So how is it then that the faithful prefer a crude counterfeit formed through foolology to the most interesting man who ever lived by a factor of a billion to one? Considering the consequence of getting this right, and cognizant that the fate of Yisra’el on Yowm Kipurym hinges on Yahowah’s guidance, it seems evident that this phraseology regarding this gowy was placed in the 665preamble of the most misappropriated prophecy to help answer these questions.

In our quest to know Father and Son better, we find that they provide the means to expose the absurdity of Replacement Foolology – the most debilitating mind virus affecting the religious. By accurately translating this prophecy, and appreciating its intent, we were able to unravel the lies upholding Judaism and Christianity. And with them impugned, Yisra’elites are free to embrace their Messiah and come home to Yahowah.

Surprisingly, all that was ever needed to accurately translate Yasha’yah 9:4, 5, and 6 was to pay attention to the context, subject, and grammar. For example, rather than a conjunction linking the two implements wielded by those in power, in the preceding statement, shebet | rod and scepter is a construct. This means that the implements associated with religious and political institutions work in concert with one another as they extend, integrate, and impose their reach.

Similarly, huw’ is correctly translated as the third-person masculine singular pronoun “him” in English. However, huw’ can be “it” when addressing a singular masculine noun such as gowy, so long as gowy is rendered as “foreign nation.” However, should the gowy be a man, “he” rather than “it” is required. Further, while nation and people are singular, both are comprised of many individuals, requiring the pronoun addressing them to be plural.

I share this because my translation is markedly different from most others and the grammar makes it appear somewhat self-centric. And yet, since there is no one else to whom any of this might apply, denying the obvious would be disrespectful to Yahowah and devastating to His people.

According to the text, Yahowah found an 666underutilized and retired implement, and after liberating him from the control and influence of others, put that tool to use in a productive way. For the first time in nearly three thousand years, words and insights that eluded humanity’s grasp are being properly presented and explained. In the process, Yahowah is becoming known to more Yahuwdym prior to His return than ever before.

God can honestly say, as He has done, that the means to know Him and engage in the Covenant relationship with Him have been available to read within His testimony for millennia – just waiting for His people to take Him up on His offer. And if not now, then Yahuwdym are running out of tomorrows. His return, on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations, is less than nine years away from this writing.

In every way but one, I suspect that Yah would have preferred that His witness have Hebrew roots. But since there were none willing to disassociate from all forms of human authority, who were willing to be used in opposition to religion, politics, patriotism, and conspiracy, God pursued another way. But as I have suggested, there is a valid reason God may have preferred working with a gowy in this situation. He would serve as a not-too-subtle reminder that Yahuwdym are to blame for their estrangement. Their very name, Yahuwd, reveals that they are Yahowah’s Chosen People. God’s words were written in Hebrew. The scrolls unearthed in the Promised Land are the source of our translations. And since they forfeited their calling, Yahowah may have wanted them to eat a slice of humble pie – one served up by a Gentile.

Speaking of the scrolls found in Qumran, and transitioning from the last statement to the next, according to the Great Isaiah Scroll, there is a “wa – and” before “ka – as” in the following statement. That’s important because, in Hebrew, conjunctions are used to indicate the beginning of a new sentence. Therefore, I pulled the concluding 667phrase from the previous verse and added it to this one since the reference to Midyn is a better fit for what follows than what preceded it…

“And (wa – then [from 1QIsa not in the MT]) as in the day (ka yowm – comparable to the time) of Midyn | of Questions Regarding Judgment (Midyn – Midian, quarrelsome discord and strife based upon variant alterations and modifications, conflicting interests and contentiousness as contrasted with the exercise of good judgment leading to resolving a dispute; a compound of my – pondering the who, what, why, where, when, and how of dyn – the kind of thinking which leads to either vindication or contentious arguments depending upon the judgment of the one pleading the case), (9:4) surely since (ky – by contrast because) every (kol) boot (sa’own – sandal of a soldier or combatant treading and trampling) of marching armies and militants (sa’an – of militaries and mujahideen on the move who tread and tramp down) is part of the commotion and clamor of war (ba ra’ash – the riotous discordant sounds of chaos, the staccato percussion of weapons and the rumbling of those doing the fighting, with others shuddering in their defense) and since (wa) the attire (simlah – the clothing) is befouled by wallowing (galal – made filthy dirty by rolling) in blood (ba dam), they will come to exist as (wa hayah la – they will be) fuel (ma’akoleth – that which is consumed and destroyed, devoured and devastated) to be burned up (saraphah – thoroughly kindled and combusted) in the fire of blazing light and radiant energy (‘eth – glowing illumination).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:5)

The reason that I have devoted my life over the past 23 years to advancing the purpose of Yahowah is that I understand what is at stake. Father and Son, Yahowah and Dowd, are returning to reconcile their relationship with Yisra’el on Yowm Kipurym in the Yowbel year of 6000 Yah – sunset in Yaruwshalaim on October 2^nd, 2033. And 668yet, even at this late hour, few, if any, in Yisra’el are waiting for Yahowah or His Son.

For there to be a Family reunion, some of those who are not yet paralyzed by the exploitative and oppressive nature of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism or Progressive Liberalism must come to their senses and recognize Yahowah by name and Dowd for what he represents. Rosh Hashanah must be disavowed and Taruw’ah embraced to benefit from the Gleaning or the Red Heifer. Yom Kipper must change from a day of denial and affliction to Yowm Kipurym – a time for restoration and renewal.

Just as there was no Yahuwd | Jew in Yisra’el prepared to enter Heaven when Yasha’yah was speaking directly to them, there still aren’t many. And with no Jew willing to listen and serve in this capacity and open the door, Yahowah was given no alternative but to use a gowy to save Yisra’el. And that is why this particular message precedes one of the most profoundly important prophecies ever written.

With so much at stake, Yahowah assigned seven ruwach | spirits to enlighten, enable, and embolden this gowy, such that he would be an effective implement. But that would not be enough, because for him to prevail in conveying a message diametrically opposed to the religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, liberal Progressive politics, conspiracy theories, patriotism, nationalism, and militarism, even societal mores and cultural holidays, he would have to be isolated and defended from attack. And that is precisely what has occurred.

Noach | Noah was the first of his kind in this regard. He lived apart. ‘Abraham and Sarah had left Babylon, and they were walking away when Yahowah introduced Himself to them. Dowd was tending sheep, apart from his family, when God chose him.

669Fortunately, the information Yahowah wanted him to convey was readily available – just poorly translated and misunderstood. So, with the distractions out of the way, and with an enormous assist from the Seven Spirits of Yahowah, all he would have to do is invest the time needed to learn and then boldly convey it.

However, while he would diligently listen to the prophets and strive to understand them, that was only a means to the end. To be effective, this witness would have to be a Herald. And to serve in this capacity with Yahowah in this age requires an open mind, a fast processor, a commitment to reason, an aptitude for making the connections needed to understand, a desire to share, and considerable fortitude, along with the ability to adjust on the fly – which means lots of rewrites. For example, while what you are currently reading is part of a new volume as an extension of Coming Home, what we discovered about Dowd by composing it has necessitated yet another comprehensive edit. Yahowah’s growing Covenant Family is committed to ensuring that what you read is right.

I am conflicted at the moment, both wanting to stay in the flow of this prophecy as we make the transition to its grand crescendo in the next two verses, while also wanting to be true to the text. Yowm Midyn | the Day of Midian cannot be overlooked by those striving to comprehend Yahowah’s message.

For example, to misappropriate the prophecy presented in the next two statements, the religious must disregard the fact that it is introduced by an overt reference to Midyn | Midian and that it speaks of a loud and bloody army that will be incinerated by God. Pointing out the obvious, this has not transpired at any time in our past. And it will not occur prior to the fulfillment of Taruw’ah, when the flames Yahowah kindles around the ‘Adamah Parah will incinerate the rabble rumbling into Jerusalem to kill His People.

670Since the prophecy regarding the Son who is given follows this statement, it’s telling that the religious ignore it – for no other reason than it doesn’t fit their narrative. And while ignorance may be the path to faith, it does not lead to Yah. Specifically, Yahowah’s light is going to singe every soldier in Israel prior to His return. Be forewarned: Do not enlist, equip, or support any military force because it will put you in opposition to Yahowah.

God does not support troops. He does not take sides in human conflicts. He is not patriotic or promilitary. Quite the opposite, He is going to obliterate everyone in uniform and everything used to conduct war. In a nation like America, which is home to 40% of Jews worldwide, and where any reluctance to support the armed forces and salute the flag is considered an egregious offense against the country, Yahowah’s overt hostility toward those things isn’t good news.

Returning to Midyn, of the twenty-four times its root, dyn, appears in the Hebrew text, four are in parallel with “shaphat – to decide by being discerning,” which is to “exercise good judgment.” It is twice used in conjunction with mishpat, making midyn somewhat equivalent in meaning. Therefore, Midyn | Midian serves as a referendum on our ability to think.

As for the land of Midyn, it is first mentioned in Shemowth / Names 2:15. Moseh fled to this place as an act of conscience. He demonstrated himself worthy by having walked away from a leadership position within the dictatorial government of Mitsraym | Egypt, which was overwhelmingly religious, aggressively militant, and oppressive in its imposition of a caste system. As such, his sojourn to Midyn is symbolic of dissociating ourselves from these same corrosive institutions today. It is a call for God’s people to walk away from the modern manifestations of religious, political, and geographic Babylon: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Europe and the 671United States, as well as from engagements in the Middle East.

Had ‘Abraham not left Babylon, God would not have led him to the Promised Land. Had the Children of Yisra’el not left Mitsraym, Yahowah would not have led them back to Yisra’el by way of Midyn. Similarly, the Jews who remain bound to their religion, political party, or place within a foreign land will be excluded from the cleansed remnant who will witness Yahowah’s return with King Dowd.

Mount Choreb / Horeb is in Midyn – the first point of safety after fleeing Mitsraym. It is the place where the Towrah was revealed and the last place Yisra’el listened directly to Yahowah.

Just prior to this time, it was in Midyn | Midian that Moseh first came to gather and shepherd sheep. It is where Yahowah reached out to him and asked him to help liberate His people. There is no better place or preparation for serving Yahowah’s children.

It was in Midyn that Moseh was welcomed as if he were a Gentile. After he and his Midian wife gave birth to their first son, Gershowm, Moseh said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.” (Shemowth / Names 2:22) Indeed, every Gentile adopted into the Covenant immediately comes to realize that this also applies to them.

When Yahowah found Moseh in Midyn | Midian, he was an eighty-year-old shepherd. He had left Egypt, where he lived like royalty. The Hebrew slaves he had risked everything to save from the oppressive regime, rather than show their appreciation for his sacrifice, turned against him. It would be a harbinger of the relationship between Yahowah and Yisra’el.

Nonetheless, Moseh showed great courage and character, even compassion in opposing the religious and 672political establishment which had made life so degrading for everyone apart from the pharaoh’s family and his priests. Their caste system would be predictive of what the Roman Church would do to Jews and their own throughout Europe. As a Yisra’elite among Gentiles, Moseh witnessed how cruel men become when they are molded by their nation. He also experienced the unappreciative and disloyal nature of Yisra’elites. But then, he also saw that an individual gowy can be moral and welcoming.

While those experiences forged Moseh’s character, there is no denying that he was an eighty-year-old man with a speech impediment. He was out tending sheep in a God-forsaken corner of the Arabian Desert when Almighty God chose this lone individual to convey His name, word, and intent to the world.

Most especially, it was in Midyn that we were first introduced to Yahowah. And so, perhaps with this reference to this place in advance of the prophecy, Yahuwdym will be reintroduced to the realization that their God has a name…

“Now Moseh was shepherding the flock of Ythrow, His father-in-law, the priest of Midyn. And he guided his flock to that which comes after the wilderness, and came to Choreb, the mountain of God. (Shemowth / Exodus 3:1) Then the mal’ak | messenger of Yahowah was seen, appearing to him in a blazing fire from the midst of the protruding precipice. He looked and beheld that the sharp crag was ablaze and burning, and yet the peak was not consumed. (Shemowth / Exodus 3:2)

Moseh said, ‘I would prefer to go in a different direction, changing my approach because I want to inspect and understand this empowering and enormously important sight, contemplating the incombustible nature of the sharp rocky crag.’ (Shemowth / Exodus 3:3)

673When Yahowah saw that he had turned to inspect what he had seen, God called out to him, offering him a welcoming invitation to meet from the midst of the sharp rocky crag, saying, ‘Moseh, Moseh!’ So, he said, ‘Behold, it’s me.’ (Shemowth / Exodus 3:4)

Then He said, ‘Do not come too close to this place. If you wouldn’t mind, detach your sandals from upon your feet because indeed this site which you are presently standing is set-apart and very special ground.’ (Shemowth / Exodus 3:5) Then He said, ‘I am the God of your fathers, the God of ‘Abraham, the God of Yitschaq, and the God of Ya’aqob.’ However, Moseh concealed his presence because he was too awestruck to look at God. (Shemowth / Exodus 3:6)

Yahowah said, ‘I have seen the affliction and harassment of My people who are in the Crucibles of Political and Religious Oppression in Mitsraym. I have heard their distressing cry as a result of those who are exploiting and oppressing them. Indeed, I am aware of their suffering. (Shemowth / Exodus 3:7)

Therefore, I have descended, coming down from a much higher place, to deliver them from the influence of the subjugating tyrants in Mitsraym, and to lift them up out of that country, taking them to a good and pleasing, beneficial and spacious, realm, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Kana’any… (Shemowth / Exodus 3:8)

So, behold, the wailing cry of despair from the Children of Yisra’el has come to Me. I have seen the starvation rations and oppressive conditions with which the political and religious despots in Mitsraym are imprisoning them. (Shemowth / Exodus 3:9) As a result, let’s go because I want to extend Myself through you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the Children of Yisra’el, out of this highly questionable 674affliction and oppression in Mitsraym.’” (Shemowth / Exodus 3:10)

Our reintroduction to Yahowah through Midyn is relevant because it demonstrates how desirous God is to remove His people from the caustic and controlling, degrading and incapacitating, influence of human governance and institutionalized religion – as well as the stratified and oppressive nature of caste systems and slavery. En route to this objective, God’s approach would be contrary to that of empires and nations. He didn’t deploy an army, didn’t dispatch a navy, didn’t send in His vast array of heavenly envoys, didn’t deploy diplomats to negotiate a treaty, didn’t impose economic sanctions or offer monetary incentives to those He knew coveted them.

Yahowah would even forego using a popular or imposing, articulate or charismatic, even an influential or prestigious individual but, instead, solicited the help of a senior citizen with a scandalous reputation to liberate His children from religious and governmental influences in the most powerful nation on Earth. There is God’s way and man’s approach, and seldom do they share anything in common.

In light of this, why would we expect God to change tactics at this late date? Why solicit the assistance of more than one man? Why choose someone with impressive credentials? Why not pursue a person in a similar situation and then engage with Him to save Yisra’el – even if it is now from themselves?

We turned to this section of Shemowth / Names because we were searching to understand the Midyn | Midian reference in Yasha’yah 9:5. Little did we expect that it would shed some interesting light on how God goes about choosing those who serve His children…

“But Moseh said to God, ‘Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and come out with the Children of 675Yisra’el, bringing them out of religious and political oppression in Mitsraym?’ (Shemowth / Exodus 3:11)

So, He said, ‘Because I will be with you. This is the sign and proof that I have sent you: by you having brought out the family from Mitsraym | the Crucibles of Affliction and Oppression, you will work with God upon this mountain.’” (Shemowth / Exodus 3:12)

This mountain where the Towrah was revealed is in Midyn | Midian. Every word of this speaks to us because it is all relevant today.

It is evident that Yahowah wanted to work with someone who knew the Egyptians and who was opposed to their politics, religion, military, and economic system. Having experienced these things and having left them because he disliked them served as Moseh’s credentials and explains why he was chosen. And I suspect that it humored the Almighty to communicate His name and word through an individual with questionable diction.

Having left corporate management, religion, patriotism, and politics, I can picture myself in Moseh’s situation. I understand Yahowah’s aversion to these things. His position resonates with me as I’m sure it did with him. And while I wasn’t afforded the opportunity to climb the sharp crags of Choreb, there wasn’t any reason to do so; not now that we find Yahowah ready and willing to talk to us through the words of the Towrah written here on this mountain. And among them, we discover Yahowah’s name and learn to properly pronounce it…

“Then Moseh | the one who draws us away from human oppression said to God, ‘Now look, if I go to the Children of Yisra’el, and I say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you,” and they ask me, “What is His name,” what shall I say to them?’ (Shemowth / Exodus 3:13)

676God responded to Moseh, ‘I am (‘e-hayah) who (‘asher) I am (‘e-hayah).’ Then He said, ‘This is what you should say to the Children of Yisra’el, “I Exist has sent me to you.”’ (Shemowth / Exodus 3:14)

In addition, God said to Moseh, ‘This is what you should actually and continually say to the Children of Yisra’el, “Yahowah, the God of your fathers, God of ‘Abraham, God of Yitschaq, and God of Ya’aqob, sent me to you. This is My name forever, throughout all time. And this is My way of being known and remembered in every place, era, and generation.’” (Shemowth / Exodus 3:15)

Moseh’s mission would include introducing Yahowah by name to His people, liberating the Children of Yisra’el from religious and political oppression, listening to God, and then sharing what he had learned verbally and in writing. Our mission today is to reintroduce Yahowah to His people, encourage Yisra’elites to flee religious and political influences, and then, after translating what God conveyed through His prophets, share what we have learned verbally and in writing.

This mission has led us to the precipice of what Yasha’yah is about to reveal, to the same mountain, and then on to the Promised Land. However, there have been obstacles to overcome. For the past two thousand years, the world has been wrong about Yasha’yah 9:6-7, even though it is among the most quoted of all prophecies. It is not predictive of the mythical misnomer and crude counterfeit “Jesus Christ” but, instead, descriptive of Dowd, more commonly known as “King David.”

Rather than predict the ludicrous notion of the “birth of God,” instead of justifying a Gentile religion, rather than describe the replacement foolology of “Jesus,” instead of validating a New Testament, Isaiah 9:6-7 obliterates everything Christians believe. It is devastating to Judaism 677as well because what we are about to hear is in conflict with what Jews have been led to believe about God and man – particularly the man delivering and fulfilling this prophecy.

Truth be told, Yahuwdym can learn far more from Dowd than from anyone else. It is why we possess so much of what he wrote, all in the original language, all marvelously preserved, all easily verified. There were more Psalm scrolls found in the caves above the Dead Sea than any other.

Before we rejoin the prophecy, there are some things I’d like to share. First, Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:6 and 9:7 telescope time in traditional Hebrew fashion, presenting both past and future events. The narrative plays out over a period of three thousand years. And since the past, present, and future are seen as one integrated whole from God’s perspective, Yasha’yah 9:6 and 9:7 should never have been broken apart and presented as two distinct thoughts.

Second, in the transition from Hebrew to English, we must choose the tense that most accurately reflects the timeframe being discussed. In this regard, we should pay especially close attention to the perfect or imperfect conjugations which speak of things that are either completed during a period of time or open-ended and continuous.

Third, and this is exceedingly important in this prophecy, in the Hebrew language adjectives and adverbs follow their respective nouns and verbs. However, since English grammar uses the opposite approach, the translation needs to reflect this arrangement to be accurate. For example, just because it is ruwach qodesh in Hebrew, does not mean that we should write “Spirit Set-Apart” in our translations.

‘As it relates to the following, Yasha’yah wrote: “counselor who is brilliant and insightful” not “wonderful, counselor.” Similarly, the prophet spoke of “a valiant and 678heroic defender of God,” not “Almighty God.” Further, He said that he would be “an eternal witness providing enduring testimony for the Father,” rather than inferring the disjointed notion that he was both the Son and the “Everlasting Father.”

Fourth, shem is more than a “name” in that it also conveys an individual’s “renown and reputation.” I share this because there is only one actual “name” among the seven historic and seven prophetic portrayals of this individual’s nature and value – and that is Dowd.

Therefore, what follows is a profoundly different, and yet more accurate presentation of Yasha’yah 9:6 and 9:7 than any you have seen before. The opening stanza may be the most memorable ever spoken…

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

As 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 681well 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 be prepared and become steadfast, ready and supported through it, deciding and concluding to approach regarding it (hifil infinitive construct – whereby the object is engaged by the subject, becoming akin to a secondary subject irrespective of time or place, in the feminine singular and thus addressing mamlakah)), and (wa) to be restored and sustained by him (wa la sa’ad huw’ – to be renewed and upheld through him, to be strengthened and supported by it, and to make it safe and secure, refreshing it with the most favorable and nourishing sustenance [huw’ / it is masculine in 1QIsa and thus refers to Dowd or to his kise’ | seat of honor vs. feminine in the MT, addressing the kingdom]), 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 – also with) being right (tsadaqah – being correct, fair, and just, acquitting and vindicating, honest and blameless, innocent and in full 682accord with the standard) from then to now (min ‘atah – beginning congruent and consistent 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 – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah | God guided by His towrah | instructions regarding His hayah | existence and our shalowm | reconciliation) 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 active with ‘this’ as feminine, meaning Yahowah is actually engaging such that we can be continuously right)).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:7)

Anyone reading this within the first eight centuries after it was written circa 740 BCE, would have known that the declaration: “a child was born before us” pertained to Dowd | David – a conclusion readily affirmed by the fact that Yasha’yah not only provided his name but also that all of the accolades were accurate regarding Dowd and no one else but him.

This child was not only conceived and born in the normal fashion, in the perfect conjugation, this life could not have been eternal. There is no suggestion of a nativity in a manger in Bethlehem, of a visit from astrologers and sorcerers from Babylon, no hint of the emergence of a new star in the heavens conceived to show the way, no angelic announcement, no naming the child “Jesus,” no mention of 683a mommy, much less the religious notion that someone named Mariam | Contentious after the Waters of Marybah should be venerated as if she were the goddess Asherah – the Mother of God, Queen of Heaven, a Blessed Virgin, as the Madonna with Child.

When considering the statement, “a son was provided concerning us,” we should turn our attention to the one man of whom Yahowah stated, “He is My Son and I am his Father.” Dowd gave his life to save ours. This is the very same pronouncement, regarding the most acclaimed man in God’s story, that Yasha’yah shared in the 53^rd chapter of Isaiah.

Yahowah placed the governance of Yisra’el on Dowd’s shoulder. He chose him to shepherd His people, anointed him Mashyach to demonstrate His authorization, and then appointed him Melek. Further, in this case, the verb, hayah, was scribed in the imperfect, indicating that what had been done would be secure throughout time. Dowd is not only the most obvious and most qualified individual, but he is also the only man who was and will be King.

Those of us who have read Dowd’s Mizmowr know, appreciate, and respect the “counselor providing valuable advice who is astoundingly brilliant and amazingly insightful.” When it comes to providing brilliant counsel, thought-provoking guidance, and valuable insights, Dowd remains in a class by himself.

If there actually were a person named “Jesus Christ” in 1^st century Judea, and if we had extant texts written by him in Hebrew, carefully and copiously preserved, as we do with Dowd, then the man and the myth might both qualify. But we don’t have a single word written by the misnomer, while in comparison, there were more parchments devoted to the Mizmowr / Psalms preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls than anything else inspired by 684God.

This is the conclusion of the 3^rd volume devoted to sharing Dowd’s Songs, and thus far, we have only examined 63 of 150 Mizmowr in Coming Home. We will run out of time before we run out of material. And to a lesser extent, there are another 12 of 66 chapters of Yasha’yah / Isaiah, some written about Dowd, awaiting our due diligence.

Gibowr does not mean “Almighty,” and thus his name was not “Almighty God” as Christians want the faithful to believe. This deception should be enough to make the rational reject religion. Not only wasn’t the Christian “Jesus” “Almighty God,” in that he was both a myth and all of God won’t fit in our three-dimensional world, even the counterfeit caricature was not a “gibowr – a valiant and heroic individual with a prominent military and political standing in the community.” Dowd was, however, Yahowah’s gibowr | most capable, courageous, confident, and even combative man. His reputation began with a rather large Philistine and will continue with the eradication of antagonistic Gentiles. Able to read the prophecy, this explains why Jews could not accept the Christian “Jesus” as the Messiah or as the fulfillment of this proclamation.

And what no one seems to appreciate is that Dowd’s most courageous act was the fulfillment of Passover and UnYeasted Bread. After a torturous death, he ventured into Hell to redeem his people.

Unlike Dowd, who wrote voluminously about the mishpat | way to resolve disputes and achieve shalowm | reconciliation, and then endured the Miqra’ey to provide it, the mythical “Jesus” didn’t have much to say about the means Yahowah provided to fulfill the Covenant’s promises. By contrast, Dowd explained exactly what he would endure to save his people, doing so 1,000 years in 685advance of it occurring. He became “an eternal witness providing restoring testimony on behalf of the Father.”

That said, no man is the “Eternal Father,” making the Christian “translation” inaccurate. At issue is ‘ed, whose primary definition reads just as I have rendered it: “an eternal witness providing restoring testimony.” ‘Ed speaks of an observant and thorough individual providing everlasting evidence from long ago. An ‘ed shares proof which is restoring. He is an eyewitness back in time conveying and memorializing information regarding the perpetual and continued existence of God.

In all of human history, no “leader” was as “authorized” by God as Dowd. He was specifically chosen, anointed three times, and appointed king, not once but twice. He is afforded every title and depiction of consequence, from Ben to Bikuwr, from Mashyach to Melek, from Ra’ah to Zarowa’, called Gibowr to Tsadaq, and is even depicted as the Branch, a Prophet, and the Hand of God. And it is fair to say that Dowd epitomized shalowm | reconciliation.

By serving as the Passover Lamb, Dowd opened the door to life. With his soul fulfilling UnYeasted Bread, Dowd perfected his people by carrying their guilt into She’owl and depositing it there. As Yahowah’s Firstborn, Dowd was restored into fellowship with his Father on Firstborn Children, showing us the way Home. And for having done so, Dowd was enriched and empowered, making the Promise of Seven possible. This is why we herald his return during Trumpets, knowing that Dowd will provide shalowm during the Day of Reconciliation. Having made shalowm with God, Dowd’s seat of authority will endure forever during the eternal celebration of Shelters as the Covenant Family camps out with Yahowah in perfect shalowm.

As a result, those who listen and respond to Dowd’s 686songs are “shalowm – reconciled and satisfied” “‘ayn qets – beyond limitation.” We are “kuwn – prepared and established,” “sa’ad – restored and sustained,” “ba mishpat – having exercised good judgment about the means to justly resolve the disputes” which would otherwise separate us from Yah. And this is because Dowd was “tsadaqah – right” regarding Yahowah, so our relationship will endure “min ‘atah – from then to now” “wa ‘ad ‘owlam – and forevermore.”

This prophetic portrayal concludes with Yahowah acknowledging that He “‘asah – personally and consistently engaged throughout time to make this happen” because of His “qin’ah – deep devotion and passion, His strong desire to accomplish something special as a result of His love” for “Dowd – the Beloved.” Considering that it was Yah’s “qin’ah – fervor for exclusivity and ardent love” which lies at the heart of His relationship with His Son, why would anyone think that this prophecy pertained to other than Yah’s Beloved?

Dowd | David is the only individual who embodies each aspect of this prophetic statement. Then to confirm the obvious, he is named at the conclusion of the prophecy. All of us, at times, forget a name or address someone by the wrong name, but we never do so with our own children. There is no possibility that God asked His prophet to write “Dowd | David” if He meant this to apply to someone else.

May I ask anyone still lost in religion: if this was about “baby Jesus,” why did Yahowah dispatch this statement to Jews – to the very people the Christian Jesus allegedly rejected? If we are to believe that this was about Christianity, why was the gift allotted to Israel?

“Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – restoration) dispatched (shalach – reached out by 687sending out (qal perfect)) the word (dabar – the message and statement, this account and promise) unto (ba – among and within, with regard to because of His association with) Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob – Yitschaq’s son, the Father of Yisra’el, to dig in his heels and impact his brother as a result of the consequence of his footsteps), and so (wa) it has been allotted to (naphal – it has fallen upon and been distributed among) Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God; from ‘ysh sarah ‘el).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 9:8)

This prophecy is a love story, a genuine treasure. And yet, for thousands of years, it has been used to validate a hateful religion while besmirching the loving relationship Yahowah had intended.

Perhaps the greatest prophecy ever composed reads…

“Nevertheless (ky), there has been no lack of counsel, no reason for discouragement, or inability to flee from the darkness (lo’ muw’aph la hy’) for those subjugated and constrained along the way (la ‘asher muwtsaq) as there was during the previous time (ka ha ‘eth ha ri’shown) when He receded from and showed little regard for (qalal) the land of Zabuwluwn where the egotistical reside and brag about themselves (‘erets Zabuwluwn) or the territory of Naphthaly twisting and agitating (wa ha ‘erets Naphthaly).

In this latter time, during the last days (wa ha ‘acharown), He will deal harshly with the troublesome, dimwitted, and intransigent, even pretentious nature of (kabed) the way of the sea, addressing those apart from the land (derek ha yam) beyond (‘eber) the Yarden | to Go Down (ha Yarden), of Galyl | the Circuitous and Convoluted Manner (Galyl) of the Gowym | Gentiles (Gowym). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:1)

The people (ha ‘am) who will walk (ha halak) in the darkness and who were confused and unaware (ba ha 688choshek) will be shown at that moment (ra’ah) an astonishing and important (gadowl) light (‘owr). For those who have dwelt (yashab) in the realm (ba ‘erets) the shadow of death (tsalmaweth), the light (‘owr) will shine brilliantly upon them to enlighten them at that time (nagah ‘al hem). (Yasha’yah 9:2)

You will have raised up and enabled a gentile (rabah ha gowy) without boasting or exalting Yourself, or improperly speaking of the favors You sought to bestow (lo’ gadal). The delight (simchah) they will joyfully express (samach) as they approach Your presence (la paneh ‘atah) will be comparable to (ka) the jubilation experienced (simchah) during the harvest (ba ha qatsyr), consistent with (ka ‘asher) rejoicing over the favorable circumstances (gyl) when they are apportioned an inheritance of (ba chalaq hem) that which is valuable (shalal). (Yasha’yah 9:3)

For (ky) the constraints (‘ol) of burdensome labor, economic pressures, and societal challenges pertaining to him (sobel huw’) and (wa) that which is associated with (‘eth) the religious or political influences (mateh) continually upon his back, especially early on (shekem huw’), You will have diminished and even eliminated because You don’t appreciate these things (chathath) along with the rod and scepter of governmental authority over him (shebet ha noges ba huw’).

And (wa) as in the day (ka yowm) of Midyn | of Questions Regarding Judgment (Midyn), (Yasha’yah 9:4) surely since (ky) every (kol) boot (sa’own) of marching armies and militants (sa’an) is part of the commotion and clamor of war (ba ra’ash), and since (wa) the attire (simlah) is befouled by wallowing (galal) in blood (ba dam), they will become (wa hayah la) fuel (ma’akoleth) to be burned up (saraphah) in the fire of blazing light and radiant energy (‘eth). (Yasha’yah 9:5)

689For indeed (ky), a child (yeled) was born (yalad) before us (la ‘anachnuw), a son (ben) will be given, provided, and bestowed at a point in time (nathan) concerning us (la ‘anachnuw). The opportunity to learn what can be known about how to engage and endure in addition to the government (wa misrah) was and will be (wa hayah) on (‘al) his shoulder (shekem huw’).

His reputation and renown (wa shem huw’) has been read and recited as (qara’): a counselor providing valuable advice (yow’ets) who is astoundingly brilliant and amazingly insightful (pele’), a valiant and heroic individual with a prominent military and political standing in the community, the most courageous and capable man (gibowr) of God (‘el), an eternal witness providing restoring testimony (‘ed) for the Father (‘ab), the leader who conveys the authorized position (ha sar) on reconciliation and restoration leading to salvation (shalowm), (Yasha’yah 9:6) tremendously increasing (rab) the ability to learn about and respond to (lam) the means to engage and endure, to be liberated and empowered (ha misrah).

As a result of this approach (wa la), reconciliation and restoration, complete satisfaction and total contentment (shalowm) will be without end (‘ayn qets) upon the throne and seat of honor (‘al kise’) of Dowd (Dowd), as well as (wa) upon his kingdom through his considered advice and counsel (‘al mamlakah huw’) so as to be prepared and established by it (la kuwn ‘eth hy’), and (wa) to be restored and sustained by him (wa la sa’ad huw’), with the means to exercise good judgment and justly resolve disputes (ba mishpat) by (wa ba) being right and vindicating (tsadaqah) from then to now (min ‘atah) and forevermore (wa ‘ad ‘owlam).

The deep devotion and passion (qin’ah) of Yahowah (Yahowah) of the vast array of spiritual implements (tsaba’) has consistently engaged to make this happen 690(‘asah zo’th). (Isaiah 9:7)

Yahowah (Yahowah) dispatched (shalach) the word (dabar) unto (ba) Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob), and so (wa) it has been allotted to (naphal) Yisra’el (Yisra’el).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 9:8)

We either recognize, accept, and celebrate Dowd, the Messiah, Son of God, and King, as our Savior, or there is none.

Moments ago, as we were contemplating the message conveyed by Yahowah through Yasha’yah in Isaiah 9:2-3, I promised to correlate what we were reading with something Yahowah declared two centuries later through Zakaryah. The initial declaration reads…

“The people (ha ‘am) who will walk (ha halak) in the darkness and who were confused and unaware (ba ha choshek) will be shown at that moment (ra’ah) an astonishing and important (gadowl) light (‘owr). For those who have dwelt (yashab) in the realm (ba ‘erets) of the shadow of death (tsalmaweth), the light (‘owr) will shine brilliantly upon them to enlighten them at that time (nagah ‘al hem). (Yasha’yah 9:2)

You will have raised up and enabled a gentile (rabah ha gowy) without boasting or exalting Yourself, or improperly speaking of the favors You sought to bestow (lo’ gadal). The delight (simchah) they will joyfully express (samach) as they approach Your presence (la paneh ‘atah) will be comparable to (ka) the jubilation experienced (simchah) during the harvest (ba ha qatsyr), consistent with (ka ‘asher) rejoicing over the favorable circumstances (gyl) when they are apportioned an inheritance of (ba chalaq hem) that 691which is valuable (shalal).” (Yasha’yah 9:3)

Since this same sentiment is portrayed in Zakaryah in conjunction with God’s return with the Passover Lamb, let’s consider it in the context in which it was revealed.

“This is the prophetic pronouncement (masa’) of Yahowah’s (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah | God as directed in His ToWRaH | teaching regarding His HaYaH | existence and our ShaLoWM | restoration) Word (dabar – message) concerning (‘al) Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God): Yahowah (Yahowah), who spread out (natah – who expanded and stretched out, extending and causing to bend) the universe (shamaym – the heavens and space), and established (yasad – laid the foundation for and created) the Earth (‘erets – the world), and who shaped the impulse for (yatsar – devised and planned to place) the Spirit (ruwach) inside (ba qereb – in the inner part or midst of) ‘Adam | humankind (‘adam – the first human and mankind), foretells (na’um – issues a prophetic revelation based upon His authority): (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:1) ‘Behold (hineh – look here and see), I am preserving (sym – I am placing and appointing) Yaruwshalaim (‘eth Yaruwshalaim – the source of guidance regarding restoration) as the threshold and doorway (saph – as the goblet of the doorkeeper, the bowl and basin at the entrance; from saphaph – the doorkeeper) of reeling and staggering intoxication (ra’al – of stumbling and bumbling as if inebriated) for all of the surrounding people (la kol ha ‘am sabyb) and also for those against (wa gam ‘al) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judea).

This will exist during (hayah ba) the siege (ha matsowr – the methodical confining and process of surrounding the city and blocking off access; from mah – to ponder the implications of tsuwr – the troublesome confining and adversarial constraints, the besieging and 692binding hostility) against (‘al – upon) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Instruction Regarding Reconciliation). (Zakaryah 12:2)

It shall be (wa hayah) during this time (ba ha yowm ha huw’) that I will cause (sym – I will appoint and set) Yaruwshalaim (‘eth Yaruwshalaim) to be an immovable stone (‘eben ma’amasah – to be a difficult and challenging, firmly embedded rock) for all of these people (la kol ha ‘am). Everyone who attempts to move it (kol ‘amas hy’) will lacerate and impale themselves (sarat sarat – will injure themselves, branding themselves in the process with it becoming tattooed upon them). And yet (wa), Gentiles from every ethnicity, nation, religion, and place on Earth (kol gowym ha ‘erets) will gather against it (‘asaph ‘al hy’ – will assemble together in opposition to her). (Zakaryah 12:3)

During that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of ),’ declares in advance (na’um – predicting the future), ‘I will strike and destroy (nakah – I will attack and defeat) every (kol) fast-moving and flying weapon of war (suws – swift horse-powered chariot and swooping swallow) by confusing (ba ha timahown – by bewildering and stupefying, stunning and panicking) the drivers (wa rakab huw’ – those riding in military vehicles), causing them to be irrational and erratic (shiga’own – causing them to be unreliable maniacs who are out of their minds, so furious they are rendered incompetent). So for the sake of the House (wa ‘al beyth) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judah), I will keep My eyes open (paqach ‘eth ‘ayn ‘any – I will be observant, diligent, and perceptive), and therefore (wa), every one of these peoples’ (kol ha ‘am) fast-moving and flying weapons of war (suws – swift horse-powered chariots and swooping swallows (aircraft)), I will afflict (nakah – I will strike and defeat) with the inability to see from a lack of situational 693awareness and disorientation (ba ha ‘iwrown – with blindness and resulting confusion). (Zakaryah 12:4)

Then the close friends and lovers (wa ‘aluwph – the champions and confidants, those engaged in a familial relationship with) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah) will use their best judgment (ba leb hem – will be motivated and inclined after thinking it through) to say (‘amar – to acknowledge), “For me (la ‘any), those who live and remain in (yashab – the inhabit who dwell in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation, commonly transliterated Jerusalem) are supported and empowered, strengthened, equipped, and enabled (‘amtsah – are made especially capable, able to accomplish whatever is necessary, strengthened and protected) by (ba) Yahowah (Yahowah), their God (‘elohym hem), and His conscripts who assist (tsaba’ – spiritual support team which is directed).” (Zakaryah 12:5)

In that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – during this time), I will cause (sym – I will enable and preserve) the close friends, related family, and lovers (‘eth ‘aluwph – the champions and confidants, those engaged in a familial relationship with) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judah) to be like (ka) a flaming stage (kyowr ‘esh – a fiery platform upon a prominent blazing cauldron, a hearth, forge, and smelting furnace) in the timbers (ba ‘ets – the combustible material) and like a blazing torch (laphyd ‘eth – a burning firebrand and shining flame) among stalks of fallen grain (ba ‘amyr – sheaves of cut and bound stubble).

And they will devour them (wa ‘akal – so they will consume and destroy them) to the right and to the left (‘al yamyn wa ‘al sama’owl), enveloping all of the surrounding armies and peoples (‘eth kol ha ‘am sabyb), while Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation) shall continue to be inhabited (wa yashab ‘owd – shall support the living, now 694and forevermore), succeeding, with one thing logically following another, through time (tachath – with an orderly succession of events playing out) in (ba) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Teaching on Restoration, a.k.a., Jerusalem).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:6)

Since it is the Standing Grain, representing Gowym and Yahuwdym members of the Covenant who will have been Qatsyr | Harvested seven years earlier, it is the fallen stalks which will now be devoured. And by ridding Dowd’s City and Yahowah’s Home of belligerents, Yaruwshalaim will survive.

The revelation that the ‘Aluwph | Beloved Family of Yahuwdah will be like torches among the timbers on this magnificent stage being manifest on the Temple Mount suggests that they will be the spiritual returnees of the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Harvests. Yahowah’s beloved children will participate in the incineration of the trash that has blown in to destroy Yahuwdah and Yahuwdym. We know this because the remnant left behind on Taruw’ah will not yet be Covenant, so they are not Family.

This answers a question that I had been ruminating about for some time. We know that those Laqat | Gleaned on Taruw’ah, as will have been the case with those Qatsyr | Harvested on Shabuw’ah, will be instantly transformed into spiritual beings with the capacity to manifest physical attributes when desired. But, other than Yasha’yah’s prophecy in 17:6, we were not told whether the remaining remnant inhabiting the Millennial Sukah would also have this Divine quality or if they would remain prepared, but mortal. With only Covenant Family serving as torches of blazing light, we have our answer. Cool.

The two Witnesses, ‘ElYah and Yada, serving in Yaruwshalaim just prior to this time, will have had this same capability – albeit on command. Their words will 695devour the combustible stubble who challenge them. This, then, implies that every member of God’s Covenant Family will be so equipped.

But there is more to this because the flaming stage and blazing timbers depict the fire Yahowah will ignite beneath the bludgeoned body of the ‘Adamah Parah on Taruw’ah as it is set ablaze upon the Temple Mount. The resulting fire will purge the moral remnant of Yisra’el left behind of their guilt so that, once cleansed, they will be prepared for the Family Reunion on Kipurym. But these same flames will also incinerate the chaff, representing those who remain too religious, political, or militant to survive the return of Father and Son.

As the Muslims and Multiculturalists seeking the eradication of Jews get their comeuppance, we are told two different and yet very interesting things about Jerusalem. First, Yaruwshalaim shall continue to be inhabited and supported, now and forevermore, which speaks of the remnant of Yisra’el cleansed by the sacrifice of the Red Heifer. And second, the events Yahowah has planned and foretold will succeed, with one thing logically following another, throughout time as an orderly succession of events plays out in Yaruwshalaim. The latter is to say that, following the two phases of Taruw’ah, the Gleaning and the Sacrifice, Kipurym will precede Sukah. And following Sukah, God’s people will camp out with Him for one thousand years from 6000 to 7000 Yah.

It is so obvious, so clearly stated, so often repeated, and so vitally important, it is a wonder that those deluded by Judaism and Christianity share the same blind spot. It is Dowd | David who is returning with Yahowah. He is the long-awaited Mashyach | Messiah and King of Kings.

Sadly, the Hasidics are too busy worshiping their predecessors and wallowing in their manure to consider the word of God. And Christians have been duped into 696believing that “the Lord” has dementia and is not very adept at names, unable to even remember His own. To them, Dowd is dead and buried, and everything God said about him was wrong unless it was magically transferred to Iesou Christou | Jesus Christ. But jeez, fellas, you can’t all be that blind!

“Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah | God as guided by His towrah | instructions regarding His hayah | existence) will rescue and deliver, save and protect (yasha’ – will provide liberation and salvation for), Yahuwdah’s (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah and Related to Yah’s) homes and households, including the Tabernacle of the Witness (‘ohel – shining and radiant dwellings and brilliant habitations) first and foremost (ba ha ri’shown – in the initial phase), so that (la ma’an – for the intent and purpose that) the honor and glory (tiph’areth – the majesty and splendor) of the House (beyth – the home and family) of Dowd (Dowd – the Beloved) and the splendor (wa tiph’areth – the beautiful shining appearance and renown) of the inhabitants of (yashab – those who live in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation) are not surpassed by (lo’ gadal – are not honored or exalted above) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:7)

Dowd, who was from the House of Yahuwdah, had sovereignty over a unified Yisra’el, ruling from Yaruwshalaim. And while all of these will be enveloped in majesty, the ranking with Yahowah is Dowd, Yahuwdah, Yisra’el (which is the House of Dowd), and then Yaruwshalaim. While it’s a little like asking a chocoholic if she prefers chocolate cake, chocolate pie, chocolate ice cream, or chocolate cookies, Yahowah does have a preference. And the only reason Yaruwshalaim is listed last among favorites is that it is a place filled with people of 697different backgrounds.

Therefore, Dowd, Yahowah’s Firstborn and Chosen One, is not individually listed because he is working with Yahowah, delivering Yahuwdah first and Yisra’el, the House of Dowd, second. That said, this is going to be the most beautiful place on earth, more magnificent than anything we can even imagine. Yahowah will be sculpting with light, and the people will be as radiant as their homes are glorious.

The way this is worded, we know that Yahuwdah is Yahowah and Dowd’s first priority. And yet, when all is said and done, it will be no more majestic than Yaruwshalaim. And that is because Yahowah is going to treat all of His children as if they were royalty – even those of us who are adopted.

“On that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – during that time), Yahowah ( – a transliteration of YaHoWaH as instructed in His towrah | teaching regarding His hayah | existence) will defend (ganan – will protect, serving as a fence, shield, and hedge) the inhabitants of (yashab – those who live and remain in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) and have their backs (ba’ad – will be positioned all around and throughout them for their benefit).

So it will exist (wa hayah) that the wavering and weak-kneed (kashal – the feeble and faltering) among them (ba hem) on that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’) will be likened unto (ka – will be compared to) Dowyd (Dowyd – the Beloved), and the House of Dowyd (wa beyth Dowyd) will be like God (ka ‘elohym), similar to a spiritual implement and heavenly messenger (ka mal’ak – comparable to the dispatch, deputy, and envoy) of Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH as directed in His ToWRaH | Teaching regarding His HaYaH | Existence and our ShaLoWM | 698Restoration) in their appearance (la paneh hem).” (Zakaryah / Zechariah 12:8)

As their Father and their God, Yahowah will defend and protect the House of Dowd and, therefore, Yisra’el, Yahuwdym, and the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim. He “has their backs!” If you are looking for God at this time, you will find Him among His people.

One of Dowd’s many exemplary attributes is his courage. When it came to the first duty of a shepherd and king, he never cowered when it came to protecting his people. And he led by example, talking the talk and walking the walk. Even better, just as Dowd is likened unto God upon his return, so shall we be. Similar to our Shepherd, we will become ever more like God. Transformed from weak and decaying, aging and limited, physical beings, we will exhibit the energetic appearance of the mal’ak, who are empowered and eternal spiritual beings akin to light.

Thankfully, we will be likened to Dowd and similar to God with the appearance of mal’ak – which is the best of all possibilities. It is, therefore, the enriched and empowered, the emboldened and fearless, who are inheriting the Kingdom of God, not the mealy-mouthed or meek.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Dowd. Yahowah chose him and fell in love. He anointed him and inspired him, promoting him for a plethora of reasons. God’s Messiah had character and courage. God’s King was right about the things that mattered most to his Father. He was not only Towrah-observant, he wrote Mizmowr and Mashal about what he learned from Yahowah. The student became a teacher, and the foremost beneficiary of the Covenant became its Savior.

Ultimately, we are with Yahowah and His people or we are against Him and them. The decision is literally life 699or death. And in these words, each scribed to foretell the events pursuant to Dowd’s return with Yahowah, we find yet another affirmation that God did not replace Yahuwdym with Gowym or Yaruwshalaim with Rome…

“And it will come about (wa hayah – it will occur) at that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – in that day) that I will seek to hold responsible and thus accountable, thereby choosing (baqash – I will investigate and judge, procuring information to interrogate while demonstrating My desire) to decimate and exterminate (la shamad – to overthrow and destroy, annihilating and getting rid of, thereby abolishing) all of (kol – the totality of, every one of) the Gentiles (ha gowym – those unrelated to Yisra’el, the animalistic people, uncultured and uncivilized heathens, Godless nations, a swarm of adversaries, and lifeless corpses) who will have come against (ha bow’ ‘al – those who arrive in opposition to, pursuing) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – Source of Guidance on Reconciliation; from yarah – the source of teaching and guidance and shalam – restitution, redemption, and renewal).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:9)

I suspect that this shatters the myth that God wants to save everyone such that none should perish. It’s also devastating to Replacement Foolology. Be advised: should you be among the great majority who would support giving Jerusalem to the Fakestinian terrorists, your days are numbered.

To have done something whereby accountability necessitates extermination is a serious crime. And here, the Judge and Executioner is God.

Those confused by liberal jargon are unable to fathom the compassion in these words. They have been led to believe that hate is the enemy of humankind when it is actually a virtue. Love necessitates knowing who, when, how, and why we should oppose anyone who would seek 700to harm those we love.

Prior to this response from God, there has always been plenty of time remaining to resolve issues, measured in millennia, centuries, and decades. Now, however, there are years, months, weeks, and days, just fleeting moments to cull the flock of black sheep, determining who stays and who goes.

While man has been genocidal for thousands of years, murderous all around the globe, when we see terms like “decimate and exterminate,” “annihilate and abolish,” associated with God, even in the limited parameters of defending Jerusalem from those who would otherwise kill His people, committing genocide against them, it strikes some as harsh, even extreme. But it is actually kind, even mild, under the circumstances. Yahowah is extending one set of lives by truncating others. Moreover, it is fair to annihilate those who have come to exterminate His Family. Further, God is responsible for conceiving the lives that He is now terminating, meaning that for them it would still have been a net gain. Yahowah has no obligation to permanently extend what He has conceived.

So now, having removed the pathogens from His Home, Yahowah is prepared to fulfill Yowm Kipurym...

“And I will pour out (wa shaphak – cause an outpouring, profusely expending) upon (‘al – over) the House (beyth – the family, home, and household) of Dowyd (Dowyd – the Beloved, commonly known as David, representing Yisra’el), and on the inhabitants of (‘al yashab – upon those who live, dwell, and remain in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – Source of Guidance on Reconciliation; from yarah – the source of teaching and guidance and shalam – restitution, redemption, and renewal), the Spirit (ruwach – the Maternal and set-apart manifestation of God’s outreach, support, and power) of genuine mercy, compassion, loyal love, and favorable 701acceptance (chen – of kindness, of being pleasing and agreeable, approval and satisfaction), pleading for clemency and forgiveness (tachanuwn – providing a petition to save, requesting a pardon)…” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:10 in part)

Since Towrah is based upon the actionable root, yarah, it is the source from which teaching and guidance, instructions and directions, flow. Therefore, the Ruwach Chen | Merciful Spirit is being poured out of the Towrah. With yarah also serving to define Yaruwshalaim, there is yet another element of consistency, with the Word, the City, and the Spirit working in harmony.

Yahowah’s promise to “pour out the Spirit of Acceptance upon the House of Dowd (which is Yisra’el) and Yaruwshalaim” describes the prophetic fulfillment of the stated purpose of the Day of Reconciliations. Those who have come to know, trust, and rely upon our Heavenly Father are invited to come into His presence by way of the Ruwach. For the first time in 3,000 years, David’s family has become God’s Family. At this moment, and on this essential day, the Chosen People will be reconciled unto Yahowah as God is able to accept them because of what Dowd and Yada have collectively accomplished during the Mow’edym.

This serves as an affirmation that my translation of Qara’ / Called Out / Leviticus 23:27 was correct. The ‘isheh represents the Maternal manifestation of God’s fiery light to purify, enlighten, and uplift Her children. Based upon this realization, beyond loving-kindness and mercy, chen is also “beautiful apparel.” This is evocative of the Spirit’s Garment of Light. It is the wardrobe that adorns those who are forgiven as they are enveloped in Her luminosity.

The last word in the passage, tachanun, translated as “pleading for clemency and forgiveness,” affirms these 702interpretations. It is based upon chen and chanan, meaning “to show favor, to plead for compassion, and to implore forgiveness.” These actions define the role of the Set-Apart Spirit. And they explain the reason we are invited to come into Her presence on this day – the Day of Reconciliations.

The continuation of this prophetic pronouncement is among the most important in the Prophets. In context, we now know that the Yahuwdym who have survived the Tribulation of Ya’aqob’s Troubles have come to yada’ Yahowah. Now reconciled, they have been adopted into God’s Family by accepting and attending the Beryth and Miqra’ey.

“Then (wa), they will be able to look (nabat – they, at this time, will be equipped to observe, focus upon, pay attention to, and regard, think about and then appropriately respond) to Me (‘el ‘any) accompanied by the one who (‘eth ‘asher – with whom by association, and to show the way to the benefits of the relationship) they had reviled and pierced (daqar – they had thrust into by driving sharp implements completely through (qal perfect)), and (wa) they will lament (saphad – they will sob, expressing their genuine sorrow (qal perfect)) over him (‘al huw’) just like (ka – similar to the way) one cries (misped – one shrieks and howls) over the most uniquely special child and valued life (‘al ha yachyd – for the only son; from yachad – who reunited and joined together), anguished and infuriated (wa marar – grieving furiously, angry and enraged, even frantic) over him (‘al huw’ – on his account), consistent with (ka) the anguish suffered over (marar ‘al – the frustration and rage endured over) the firstborn (ha bakowr – the first son born into a family).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yah / Zechariah 12:10)

While this destroys two religions, it is marvelous for the relationship and for our appreciation of what Dowd has done for us. It was written to express the kind of emotion experienced when a family reunites after a long and 703troubled separation.

The last opportunity for reconciliation is being poured out in this special way and at this opportune moment on behalf of the Household of Dowd. The Messiah represents Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God, Yahuwdah | the Beloved of Yah, and the Beryth | Covenant Family, such that the Beyth Dowd | Household of Dowd is comprised of select individuals representing a fusion of Yisra’el, Yahuwdah, and ha Beryth.

God and King are arriving in Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations. As a result of what they have done for the Family during the preceding five Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with God, there will be an outpouring of compassion from the Ruwach | Spirit upon those who have gathered to receive them. It will be the ultimate family reunion. Our Heavenly Father, Spiritual Mother, and beloved Son, our Savior, have returned to claim their own.

In this case, saphad speaks of “being exceedingly emotional, ecstatic to the point of tears.” Similarly, misphed is more about shrieking than crying, even when they are tears of joy.

Yahowah is predicting a reunion. That is the primary definition of yachad, from which yachyd is derived. While it can address the idea of reuniting with a beloved and special child, it is more appropriately seen as joining together to make a family whole.

Since we are learning by making comparisons, I would like to share one more misappropriated prophecy before we turn the page and move on to the next chapter. It reveals 704the actual identity of the Son of God and returning King. And it serves to corroborate what we read in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:6-7. If you recall, three hundred years after speaking to His Son about his future, Yahowah said of him…

“For indeed (ky), a child (yeled) was born (yalad) before us (la ‘anachnuw), a son (ben) will be given, provided, and bestowed at a point in time (nathan) concerning us (la ‘anachnuw). The opportunity to learn what can be known about how to engage and endure in addition to the government (wa misrah) was and will be (wa hayah) on (‘al) his shoulder (shekem huw’).

His reputation and renown (wa shem huw’) has been read and recited as (qara’): a counselor providing valuable advice (yow’ets) who is astoundingly brilliant and amazingly insightful (pele’), a valiant and heroic individual with a prominent military and political standing in the community, the most courageous and capable man (gibowr) of God (‘el), an eternal witness providing restoring testimony (‘ed) for the Father (‘ab), the leader who conveys the authorized position (ha sar) on reconciliation and restoration leading to salvation (shalowm), (Yasha’yah 9:6) tremendously increasing (rab) the ability to learn about and respond to (lam) the means to engage and endure, to be liberated and empowered (ha misrah).

As a result of this approach (wa la), reconciliation and restoration, complete satisfaction and total contentment (shalowm) will be without end (‘ayn qets) upon the throne and seat of honor (‘al kise’) of Dowd (Dowd), as well as (wa) upon his kingdom through his considered advice and counsel (‘al mamlakah huw’) so as to be prepared and established by it (la kuwn ‘eth hy’), and (wa) to be restored and sustained by him (wa la sa’ad huw’), with the means to exercise good judgment and justly resolve disputes (ba mishpat) by (wa ba) being 705right and vindicating (tsadaqah) from then to now (min ‘atah) and forevermore (wa ‘ad ‘owlam). The deep devotion and passion (qin’ah) of Yahowah (Yahowah) of the vast array of spiritual implements (tsaba’) has consistently engaged to make this happen (‘asah zo’th).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 9:7)

The prelude to this discussion regarding the Son of God and his throne was recorded by the Prophet Shamuw’el / He Listens to God…

“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 Samuel 7:2)

Nathan said to the king (wa ‘amar Nathan ‘el ha melek), ‘Do everything you think is right (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 706(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) among My People (‘al ‘am ‘any), over Yisra’el (‘al Yisra’el). (Shamuw’el 2 7:8)

I have been with you (wa hayah ‘im ‘atah) throughout it all (ba kol) revealing the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) as you journeyed through life (halak). I have cut off (wa karat), accordingly, all of your enemies (‘eth kol ‘oyeb ‘atah) from your presence (min paneh ‘atah).

And I have engaged on your behalf to make for you (wa ‘asah la ‘atah) an exceptionally important name, the greatest designation, and the most distinguished reputation (shem ha gadowl), when compared to the 707most 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)

God was promising to announce and then implement a plan whereby He would engage with Dowd to establish the Family of Yah. He was, therefore, addressing Dowd’s role in fulfilling Chag Matsah which made this possible.

“‘Surely (ky), your time will be thoroughly proclaimed and completely fulfilled (male’ yowmym ‘atah). 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 708(quwm) with what you have sown (‘eth zera’ ‘atah), something more in the end 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).’” (Shamuw’el 2 7:12 in part)

Yahowah would be doing something exceptional with Dowd’s physiological nature, extracting and reformulating his DNA, which is how he was able to fulfill Passover as the Zarowa’. This is so monumental, at this point, God stops talking to Dowd and begins speaking to us about him.

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

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

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

And therein is a perfect explanation of the religious crusade to transfer the promises made to the Messiah to 709create a Christ. God was not a fan of the counterfeit…

“‘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)

In the debate between Dowd as the Son of God and Sha’uwl as the Devil’s Advocate, Yahowah has taken sides, and that’s good for Jews and unfortunate for Twistians. So now, having spoken to us about His Son, Yahowah concludes the prophecy by addressing Dowd directly…

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

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

It is hard to imagine how anyone could remain confused, wondering whether Yahowah is addressing Dowd, His Beloved Son, our Messiah and King, the Shepherd and the Lamb, or a misnomer who was never 710mentioned prophetically. If this were a contest between man and myth, it concludes with a score of 1,000 to 0.

And yet, there are millions more Christians beguiled by an illusion than there are Covenant Members who honor Dowd’s contribution to our lives. How is that possible in a supposedly rational world?
