Deceptive Testimony

 

Things God Despises…

Let’s reconvene by reviewing what Yahowah inspired Dowd | David to share at the onset of the 6^th installment of the Mashal | Proverb. By so doing, we will be better equipped to understand why God hates the three religious founders delineated at the conclusion of the first chapter. Yah’s every word sheds light upon what is otherwise a dark world.

Speaking of a very nefarious fellow, Yahowah warned…

“For he will come, walking around and behaving like a leader, taking control. And you will lack what is needed, demonstrating a scarcity of something vital, causing you to be bereaved and diminished. (Mashal / Proverb 6:11)

A confusing and inconsistent, difficult-to-understand man, a vain individual, will travel about giving speeches which are wrong, perverting, and corrupting. (Mashal / Proverb 6:12)

With a sinister winking of his eyes, he will subtly signal the vacillating nature of his proclamations. And by shuffling about regarding his stance on circumcision, he will cast aspersions with his fingers. (Mashal / Proverb 6:13)

With confusing and false perceptions which invert reality, he will devise antagonistic schemes without consideration for their consequences which are 76adversarial, creating controversies and contentious strife, all while claiming to be sent out as a messenger to do away with something important. (Mashal / Proverb 6:14)

Upon this, therefore, suddenly, unexpectedly, yet openly, albeit briefly, he will come with his destructive opposition. He will breach and break something vital and, as a result, he will suffer affliction, surprising many. And there will not be any remedy or cure.” (Mashal / Proverb 6:15)

Addressing the eyes, feet, fingers, and troublesome heart of the ruinous soul who spoke and inscribed these confounding words, Yah reveals…

“Behold, look up and pay attention, these six things Yahowah hates and considers adversarial, and the seventh is an abomination to His soul: (Mashal / Proverb 6:16)

haughty eyes and visions of grandeur, including a rebellious perspective, a deceptive tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, (Mashal / Proverb 6:17)

a heart which devises and writes troublesome, false doctrines, feet which impetuously run to and fro, darting about on behalf of that which is evil, (Mashal / Proverb 6:18)

a maligning soul whose breath utters sedition, breathing out slanderous and deceptive testimony which incites the deluded to worship false gods,

and one who claims to be sent out as a messenger to do away with something important, creating controversy and strife between brothers.” (Mashal / Proverb 6:19)

Much of this would apply generally to most who preach religion or pontificate politics. The first six points are also directed at the media and militaries. But the 77seventh point, in that it echoes the sentiments expressed in the previous one, is purely Pauline. And indeed, in context, this is all about Paul.

If you are Jewish and wonder why the God of ‘Abraham, Yitschaq, and Ya’aqob would bother to excoriate the inspiration behind the Christian New Testament, the answer is simple. No one has done more harm to Yahuwdym specifically, and humanity generally, than Sha’uwl | Paul. He conceived and promoted the most anti-Semitic conspiracy in human history, creating mankind’s most popular religion in the process.

And Dowd, the author of this Mashal, had a bone of contention with Sha’uwl | Paul. The author of the Christian New Testament robbed him and then lied about him. He gave his titles to a myth and then sought to negate his sacrifices.

In that this is a Proverb, a Mashal – a collection of Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings, Yahowah presented man’s failings by way of our biology so that we are less likely to forget His warning. He has addressed our eyes, tongues, hands, hearts, feet, and souls. His anatomical review culminates with His disdain for “shalach – someone who claims to be sent out as a messenger to do away with something important.”

We don’t have to guess who that self-proclaimed apostle might be, or what he sought to dismiss, because Yahowah immediately draws our attention to the “mitswah – terms and conditions of His relationship agreement” as they are presented in His “towrah – source of teaching and instruction, guidance and direction.”

So here now is our Heavenly Father’s perspective on Paul and Christianity…

“Behold, presently these (hineh – now, at this time, pay attention, stand up and look up, elevate your 78perspective, become observant and focused, considering) six things (shesh) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation) hates (sane’ – abhors, detests, loathes, and considers adversarial), and the seventh (wa sheba’) is an abomination (tow’ebah – is disgusting and unethical, like a religious ritual; from ta’ab – is abhorrent ethically, rationally abominable, relationally detestable, and slanderous idolatry) to His soul (nepesh – His inner nature, consciousness, persona, and character):” (Mashal / Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:16)

1) “haughty eyes and visions of grandeur, including a rebellious perspective (ruwm ‘ayn – a self-exalting attitude or public display, a defiant view, a proud outward appearance, arrogant eyes, and an individually improper perception or understanding, an egotistical attitude whereby one claims or projects superiority over others by way of defiant and self-aggrandizing observations, exalting oneself improperly),

2) a deceptive tongue (sheqer lashown – false and misleading statements, rhetoric which leads to mistaken beliefs, irrational propositions, vain and useless claims, speeches comprised of lies which deceive and betray, a witness providing false hope which disappoints and injures, fraudulent testimony),

3) and hands that shed innocent blood (wa yad shaphak dam – in addition to acts which cause the spilling and pouring out of the blood of those not proven guilty and thus not in self-defense), (6:17)

4) a heart, as the seat of judgment (leb – an attitude or internalized core belief, an inclination or understanding, a resolution or determination, a strong desire or will, a 79character or persona, the place from which attitudes and desires are manifest, that which constitutes the purpose of one’s life, the place where that which is considered and accepted serves to provide perspective, guiding thoughts and conduct, becoming the source of motivations, goals and ambitions, preferences and purpose) which devises and writes (charash – that which engraves, inscribes, or conceals, remaining silent and holding one’s tongue in the name of peace, those who plot to craft secret, clandestine and conspiratorial schemes which cause some to be deaf and others to be silenced or unresponsive) troublesome and idolatrous, unjust and fraudulent (‘aven (more correctly: ‘aown | ‘awon) – wicked, egotistical, invalid, and unreliable, corrupt, harmful, relationally damaging and untrue) plans (machashebeth – cunning designs and doctrines, imagined and imputed propositions and plots; from chashab – to devise a scheme which inverts),

5) feet (regel – legs and footsteps) which rashly and impetuously (mahar – hurriedly and foolishly, without thinking, fearfully or hopefully, impulsively and recklessly, hastening one’s demise, indistinguishable from mahar – eager to profess allegiance or consent, ready to pay a price to receive acceptance, obtaining that which does not exist in exchange for money) run to and fro, darting about (ruwts – intently chasing after, causing others to run away) to approach (la – to associate with) that which is evil (ha ra’ah – objectionable, wicked, and wrong, that which is depraved, perverse, and miserable, that which is harmful and essentially bad, causing injury and suffering),” (Mashal / Meaningful, Vivid, and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:18)

6) a maligning soul whose breath utters sedition, breathing out slanderous and deceptive testimony which incites the deluded to worship false gods (puwach kazab – he who breathes out dishonest religious speeches, a blowhard, testifying loudly and formally, zealously 80proclaiming a deceptive delusion which is contrary to reality, contemptuous, condescending, derisive, mocking, slandering, and insulting while wrongly claiming to be a valid witness, blasting away and enraged, demanding that others accept and submit to his contradictions and errant testimony regarding pagan gods even though he is easily proven to be a liar and that the religious deceptions cause the victim to be wrong (since the primary definition of puwach speaks of breathing and breath being blown out to excite sedition by uttering lies, we ought to be cognizant that the Hebrew word nepesh – soul is synonymous with breath, breathing out, and blowing)) as a false (sheqer – deceptive and misleading, promoting mistaken beliefs, irrational and vain, useless, disappointing, fraudulent and betraying, from shaqar – to deal falsely, tricking and cheating others as a lying) witness (‘ed),

7) and then also (wa – in addition) one who claims to be sent out as a messenger to do away with something important (shalach – one who claims to be dispatched and sent away (one claiming to be an apostle), reaching out to many while giving them free rein to dismiss something, releasing and freeing them from it (such as to disavow the Towrah), sending them away from another message or messenger (as in Yahowah and His Word), sowing and impelling that which divorces), creating controversy and contentious strife (madan – stirring up a heated, bitter and often violent conflict through human knowledge and academic philosophy while claiming kinship, from madown – to be in discord by way of an object of contention, to engage in a quarrel while pleading to administer vindication or judgment) between (byn – betwixt, tearing asunder, from within, and by making connections between) brothers (‘ah – those who are related).” (Mashal / Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:19)

81Throughout the annals of human history, especially from the perspective of Yahowah and Yisra’el, there is only one man who fits this prophecy in its entirety. Paul alone, among all Jews, claimed to be sent out by God as a self-proclaimed Apostle, only to have his every word, both spoken and written, pervert and annul our Heavenly Father’s Covenant and Towrah.

The opening word in this salvo, hineh, is so vital to our perspective on God and our approach to His provision for life, we will devote an entire chapter to it – Volume 2 Chapter 5, Pay Attention. But between now and then, be aware that Yahowah uses hineh to get our attention, to encourage us to focus intently upon what He is about to say, to encourage us to be especially observant, closely examining and carefully considering what follows. For those who would bow down and worship a god of man’s making, hineh tells us to stand up, reach up, and look up to Yahowah – a name predicated upon these depictions.

With hineh in mind, let’s consider why six of these things draw God’s ire and why all seven are an abomination, that is to say, disgusting and detestable. Beginning with the first item on the list, we find the motivation behind the flaws that follow: man’s ego, improper perspective, and misguided focus. Yahowah is averse to arrogance, which He depicts as “haughty eyes displaying visions of grandeur.”

God has no use for those who are self-exalting and self-aggrandizing. Only God can lift us up, elevating, empowering, and enriching us. And He does so on behalf of those looking down on His Towrah, reading it, rather than those looking elsewhere. It’s not a coincidence that every bifocal eyeglass design positions the lens for reading at the bottom of the optic, not the top.

There is a marvelous and empowering humility that comes over His Covenant children. On one hand, we 82realize that we have been adopted into Yahowah’s Family, and as His children, we not only inherit the entire universe, and everything in it, but we are enriched, enlightened, and empowered beyond anything a mortal three-dimensional entity such as ourselves can imagine. And yet, still in this world, we are keenly aware of our flaws and limitations, especially when compared to our Father. We are confident but not conceited. Our eyes are open, but in curiosity and appreciation, always wanting to learn more, not say more. Our view is grand because it is from Yahowah’s perspective. We see ourselves as imperfect implements in perfect hands.

It is not just that ego breeds self-exaltation and self-reliance, it is also that a false and mistaken view of oneself invariably leads to deceptive and misleading rhetoric – the second hated abomination on this list. Man’s irrational political propositions, and especially his religious betrayals, are a composite of lies whereby useless and fraudulent claims are grasped upon and clung to by the masses who are duped and then deprived by false hope. It is as cruel as any crime ever committed.

This all leads to the third thing God despises and considers despicable, the shedding of innocent blood. This is something we humans have mastered. The Babylonians, Assyrians, and Egyptians were merciless marauders. But the Greeks and Romans made killing a science with the latter perfecting the most excruciating form of death – one they used on the author of this Mashal.

However, they would be outdone in the art of shedding innocent blood. Engineering and then deploying the most inhumane implements of torture was something the Roman Catholic Church would advance with a religious devotion to deter their critics. But no one has been better at killing innocent people than Muslims, having at one time wiped out half of the Earth’s population, killing unarmed civilians via terrorism. But it would be left to the Americans to 83perfect the art of assassination, doing so without evidence of a crime being committed, without trial or conviction, without the interference of a human conscience, all by remote control by way of drones.

There is a myth, one promoted by Socialist Secular Humanists, that liberals are more civil and compassionate than their overtly religious predecessors. Their claim that religions are principally responsible for the scourge of death that has plagued our planet, is only accurate if we remove the veil of denial and actually consider the bloody history of Islam’s first century, something that’s not all that easy to do since the jihadists were illiterate and dead men tell no tales. But apart from Islam’s war against all mankind, for the Humanist myth to endure, we must also ignore the fact that Socialist regimes, during the first century of their existence, systematically eliminated over one hundred million lives.

Should you be an American, a patriot desirous of extricating your nation from being considered a prodigious player in promoting body counts, the United States murdered tens of thousands of innocent German and Japanese civilians, burning women and children alive, night after night with incendiary bombs prior to dropping not one, but two nuclear bombs on cities rather than military targets.

A million Muslims have died as a result of America’s counterproductive invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and subsequent bombings of Libya, Yemen, and Syria. Americans have fought 101 wars in the four hundred years since the first European bloodied the New World, beginning by annihilating the native inhabitants under the claim of “Manifest Destiny.”

The next two detestable items on God’s list may be related. The fourth addresses the founders, leaders, and advocates of man’s unjust and invalid religious, political, 84military, and economic schemes. As such, this would be included among the things God hates. The fifth reveals His disgust toward their willing accomplices, those we may otherwise have excused as victims.

Yahowah hates the likes of Paul, Akiba, Hadrian, Muhammad, and Hitler, abominable men who were inclined to devise false and idolatrous religious schemes, all of whom saw to it that their plots were ultimately memorialized in writing so that their evil plans would infect future generations. (Even though it has been lost, Hadrian wrote an autobiography.)

Paul, in association with the demon Satan had placed inside of him, claimed that he, and he alone, had been selected and inspired by God to criticize and contradict, to invalidate and make obsolete, everything God had said and done over the course of the previous four thousand years. He wrote that God’s “old system” was “poneros,” the basis of the English word, “pornography.” He said that God’s Towrah could not save, declaring that God’s “old ways” were impotent, completely incapable of delivering on their promises to protect those the Author had created.

Then he struck a chord with the Gentiles he claimed belonged to him. He did so cleverly by using their religious philosophy, Gnosticism, to besmirch the Towrah’s Covenant. He said that it was “of the flesh,” and thus evil, as a result of circumcision – something the self-infatuated Greeks saw as defacing their masculine beauty.

Once he had demeaned and annulled the centerpiece of Yahowah’s plan, protesting that it enslaved, he presented his “new covenant,” writing that it was “of the spirit” and thus good. While he offered no evidence or proof of any kind, he opined that those who believed him could be saved by faith in his Gospel of Grace.

Introducing his every alteration with “But I say,” Paul used the myths and festivals associated with Dionysus to 85recast Dowd as the Messiah and Son of God into a character the Gentile pagans could readily accept, even citing Dionysus’ most famous line, “It is difficult to kick against the goad,” from The Bacchae by Euripides, while never once quoting anything Dowd actually said.

The religious edicts inscribed by Paul’s poison pen were of course insane, utterly irrational, and totally incomprehensible. His premise was preposterous. But nonetheless, on the basis of his fourteen epistles, Christianity, Paul’s “New Covenant,” and his resulting New Testament would become a million times more popular than Yahowah’s Covenant and Towrah. Unbeknownst to the billions of souls blighted by Paul’s faith, the wannabe and self-proclaimed apostle “was inclined, even determined, to devise and inscribe a cunning plan which was completely unjust and invalid, idolatrous and unreliable, fraudulent and corrupt.”

Sadly, Christians have no one to blame but themselves. Yahowah’s witness and plan did not vanish; it did not go away. It can still be found and read in the opening chapter of the book they lug around under the dubious name, the Bible. Yahowah actually proves that He exists therein, demonstrates that His testimony can be trusted, that He has done what He promised, and that, as a result, we can rely upon Him. In that same book, 666 years before Paul would pen his first letter, Yahowah was kind enough to warn us that “Sha’uwl would be the plague of death.” It is little wonder he changed his name, embracing a Roman moniker.

An endless and contrarian torrent of “But, I, Paul say” did not erode a single letter of Yahowah’s Towrah. No matter how insistent this disgruntled and demon-possessed Jew may have been, his Gentile church will never replace Yisra’el or Yahuwdah.

86And let’s not forget, Yahowah specifically states that this man’s injurious schemes would be “charash – written, engraved, and inscribed.” In identifying the culprit, we are searching for someone who not only conveyed his deceptions in writing, but whose writings have been read and believed by millions if not billions.

Hadrian’s scheme was particularly egotistical and maniacal. But he did not act alone. One of his predecessors, the general who became Emperor Titus, had besieged and conquered Yaruwshalaim, sacking the city and destroying Yahowah’s Temple between Passover of 66 and 70 CE with the V Macedonica, XII Fulminata, and XV Apollinaris Legions.

It was Titus who used the treasure he looted and the men he enslaved to build the Roman Colosseum, inarguably the most reprehensible tribute to the hideous nature of man’s political, religious, and militaristic schemes ever erected. In his shadow, Hadrian called the Jews, who had fled his predecessor, back home in order to rebuild the city and temple.

However, when they returned, he announced that his actual intent was to construct a city in its place which would serve as a retreat for his legions. His design would include two massive shrines on the Temple Mount, one for Jupiter and the other to present himself as a god, renaming this resulting edifice to Roman depravity after himself.

Adding insult to injury, and after outlawing circumcision and then crucifying 100,000 Jews, murdering up to 500,000 in total, he had his soldiers round up every copy they could find of the Towrah, directing them to wrap burning copies of it around those who cherished it. Thereafter, he would head to Athens with his homosexual lover to lead the celebration of the Dionysian mysteries, religious rites that paved the way for the Christian acceptance of Easter. In this way, he played an essential 87role in advancing anti-Semitism, anti-circumcision, and everything anti-Towrah, anti-Hebrew, and anti-Israeli, together with the pro-Gnostic, pro-Greek, pro-Roman, pro-pagan, and pro-Dionysian characteristics of Pauline Christianity.

I would not be surprised if he, as the leader of Rome, ranks as Yahowah’s third-most hated individual of all time. In light of this, is it any wonder Paul’s foundational letter was dedicated to the Romans or that it proclaimed that all governments, and especially Rome’s, and therefore Hadrian’s, were Godly and good, and to which everyone should submit? Paul even went on to say that Roman swords were only wielded for good purposes – which was hardly the case in Judea.

Contemporaries of Hadrian, Rabbi Akiba and his false Messiah wouldn’t fool as many people as Paul because he was targeting Jews, not Gentiles. His scheme, while false, was considerably more credible. He extrapolated that, since Yahowah, whom he called “Ha Shem,” was a proponent of freewill and therefore choice, the truth could be decided by popular vote. If a minion of rabbis held one position and Yahowah articulated another, the rabbis prevailed due to their superior numbers. While not sufficiently clever to rise above pathetic, his argument has managed to fool the best and brightest.

Using this formula, he led the parade to inscribe a different Towrah, one based on rabbinic arguments which was ultimately codified in, of all places, Babylon. His greatest crime, however, was far worse than authoring Judaism’s version of a New Testament. His response to Hadrian was to announce the arrival of a false Messiah, Simon bar Kokhba, a failure that would lead hundreds of thousands of Yisra’elites to their death, send millions into diaspora as slaves, cause the Land to be salted and then renamed, going from Yahuwdah | Related to Yahowah to Philestinia | Terrorist Invaders. And yet, in spite of his 88deadly and oppressive lies, Akiba is venerated as Judaism’s founding father.

At the risk of sounding offensive, what in the %^@!&*){: is wrong with the twenty percent of Jews who remain religious? Akiba was wrong about everything. He was a complete failure. He has done more to deprive Yahuwdym of the life Yahowah intended than anyone – and that includes Paul, Hadrian, Muhammad, and Hitler.

If any man deserved his fate, it was the Father of Rabbinic Judaism. Rome put him to death by combing, whereby his skin was flayed with iron combs intended for the sheep he misled.

Speaking of misleading, the current year on the Jewish calendar at the time of this edit, of 5784 BCE (in the summer of 2023), is a product of Maimonides’ inability to count. The current Jewish calendar is not based upon genealogies in the Towrah but instead upon the Rambam’s musings in the Mishnah in the section called Sanctification of the Moon (11,16)! It is all based, as is Islam, on a lunar calendar and 19-year cycles (19 is the presumed magic number of the Quran). As in all things, religious Jews prefer the idiocy of men to the verifiable truth of Yah.

He was also oblivious of Dowd becoming the cornerstone of Yahowah’s Home on Mowryah in 968 BCE, in year 3000 Yah. Worst of all, Akiba chose his Messiah in 133 CE because he failed to notice that the Passover Lamb had already been here, fulfilling the promises of the Miqra’ey in 33 CE – Year 4000 Yah.

As a result of Maimonides’ moronic musings, religious Jews are expecting the arrival of their Messiah in 2240 on the Gregorian calendar rather than in year 6000 Yah, 2033 (based upon the Catholic way of accounting, which is also predicated on numerous false assumptions). Rather than today being 5782 Akiba / Maimonides Time, 89it is actually Year 5990 Yah. My Jewish friends, you have a lot less time than you have been led to believe.

However, Akiba wasn’t the only foul fool in the coop. Muhammad was the living embodiment of an egotistical man who was resolved to plot an insidiously evil proposition. He even modeled his god, Allah, after Satan using the Adversary’s name, Halal, to depict the purest Islamic condition. His Quran, while claiming to confirm the Towrah, is the antithesis of it. He, himself, was a pedophile, a rapist, a kidnapper, a slave trader, a mass murderer, and a ruthless terrorist.

Muhammad’s religion demeaned women and became unapologetically anti-Semitic. Islam, as the world’s most prevalent inspiration for terrorism, has become the sole motivating factor behind 99% of the world’s terrorist acts making Islam the most vicious and destructive religion in the annals of human history.

It is also the most murderous. Muslims killed nearly 5 million Zoroastrians during their conquest of Persia within a decade of Muhammad’s death. Next, the mujahideen slaughtered almost 10 million Christians in Asia Minor as part of their invasion of the Byzantine Empire. Then they murdered 20 million Africans during their conquest of that continent, selling 20 million more into the slave markets in America and the Middle East.

Moving southeast, and still during Islam’s Golden Age, jihadists wiped out over 40 million Hindus in India, and nearly 5 million more throughout the Caucasus region and into Southern Russia. In Western China, they killed an estimated 5 million Buddhists. Reaching 105 million murdered or enslaved, the Islamic killing spree during its Golden Age consumed half of the world’s population circa 700 CE, which was just over 200 million. Muhammad’s legacy remains the largest genocide in human history, both 90as a percentage of the Earth’s population and in gross numbers of people decimated.

There have been other obnoxious Roman leaders, such as Julius Caesar, Augustus, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, Titus, Constantine, and Theodosius, in addition to virtually every pope, but I am of the conclusion that with Emperors Titus, Constantine, and Theodosius vying for the fifth position along with Saint Augustine and the Grand Mufti Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the aforementioned four – Paul, Muhammad, Hadrian, and Akiba – are atop the list of most despised by God.

None of these evil men, however, could have done anything on their own. They needed accomplices and thus followers. And that is why Yahowah despises those who impetuously run to the aid of evil men, something we should be able to appreciate, since we witnessed the consequences of this human failing fairly recently with Hitler in Germany, Stalin in Russia, and Mao in China. Had it not been for those who rashly and recklessly rushed to their side, 120 million or more lives would have been spared. Of course, the same is true with Muhammad and the first Muslims, Paul and the first Christians, Akiba and his fellow rabbis.

Nationalism is not a victimless crime, nor is patriotism or militancy. So, while Germans claimed that they were just following orders and therefore should not be blamed for the Holocaust, that’s not the way God sees it. The coconspirators, especially the likes of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, the actual inspiration for the concentration camps and their murderous result, will endure the consequence of Yahowah’s righteous indignation along with all of those who ushered millions into the trains, into the camps, and into the showers of death.

91Patriotism, and a resulting rush to support the military, is a deadly proposition. And when you realize that political, military, and economic leaders are the sole beneficiaries of war and that the justifications for almost every conflict are fictitious, indeed, comprised of deliberate lies, the consequence of millions rushing to join these evil crusades has become a deadly and debilitating affair.

Religion is no better in this regard. Christianity, like Islam, is so utterly absurd, so clearly false, it would have as little credibility as the appeal of Gnosticism today if it were not for the appeal sheer numbers provide. No one would choose either after a thoughtful evaluation of their scriptures. These religions are popular only because they are pervasive. It is why they represent a plague of death. Without thinking and questioning, one generation blindly follows the next, believing the lies, foolishly squandering their souls and those of their children.

For example, can you imagine continuing to practice Islam in a Western country knowing that your religion is responsible for ninety-nine percent of the world’s terrorist acts as well as the kidnap, enslavement, and systematic rape of hundreds of thousands of little girls? Who, in their right mind, and given a choice, would knowingly trust the spiritual advice of a pedophile and rapist, of a kidnapper and slave trader, of a mass murderer and terrorist? Who would worship a god that spends all of his time in hell tormenting those who did not submit to him? Shouldn’t we view those apologizing for the religion as accessories to the crimes perpetrated by the Islamic fundamentalists?

Thoughtlessly aiding and abetting religious atrocities and rallying around one’s military with the zeal of a patriot, while despicable in Yahowah’s eyes, may be the lone behavior on this list that does not engender God’s personal animosity. While He hates the ring leaders, the founders, promoters, and perpetrators of these religious, nationalistic, and militaristic schemes, the lowly and little 92participants are unknown to God and therefore not hated by Him.

And this is no small distinction. Those who are deemed, in God’s sole determination, to have perpetrated or advanced a fraud which leads people away from Him, will be judged and sent to She’owl. It is a lightless prison separated from God and from those He loves, serving as an eternal punishment for crimes against His creation.

Perpetrating any of the other six things on this list (self-exalting, deliberately deceiving, murder, conniving, abetting evil, or false testimony) will earn such an individual an express ticket to She’owl, where they will forever endure the aggravation of similar religious, nationalistic, and militaristic individuals. But those who moronically follow them, those who impetuously rush to their aid, are mostly hurting themselves and their children. They will have squandered their lives and forfeited their souls, but there is no punishment for stupidity, only a consequence. Such souls will simply cease to exist – no penalty, no reward, nothing.

Moving on to the sixth abomination, we have returned to the realm of those who are hated by God. We are now entering the realm of the religious, the work of popes, cardinals, bishops, and priests, that of rabbis and pastors, theologians and religious scholars, of imams and monks, of clerics of every ilk. With each breath, they utter sedition, providing deceptive testimony that not only slanders Yahowah but deludes the faithful into worshiping false gods. They are all false witnesses.

As is the case with every religion, the blowhards claim they are preaching the truth while they are in fact zealously proclaiming deceptive delusions that are contrary to reality. Rather than serving God, they are mocking and insulting Him – all while stripping the faithful of their money, time, and souls.

93As an example, I spent six hours one afternoon with the world’s most popular and respected Protestant pastor, systematically laying out before him all of the ways his religion and preaching were contrary to God’s testimony. At the conclusion of our meeting, he agreed, confirming that everything I had said was true, making everything he stood for a lie. But then he said, “If I were to support any of these things publicly, no one would come and sit in the pews of my church, and the letters filled with donations supporting my university would no longer arrive in the mail. And if you go on to tell anyone else what you have discovered, they will call you a kook.” He was as right as he was wrong.

This pastor was among the millions of Christian clerics who hold up a book named after the Adversary, their Bible (from Babel | to Confound and Confuse which is a compound of ba – with Bel – the Lord), claiming that it is the inerrant word of God even though they know that it is filled with countless contradictions. They hold Easter Sunrise Services and Christmas Masses knowing full well that these rites are pagan, long ago conceived as Babylonian holidays – having nothing to do with God.

Most Christian ministers realize that there is no basis for their church, or any church, nor any justification for Sunday worship, and yet they endorse and promote both as if they were divine. Their every word is false, making them misleading and deceptive witnesses, as corrupt and corrupting as are their religions – and most know it, making them all frauds who should be imprisoned for the crime of betraying and robbing their constituents.

There is only one trustworthy witness. And He has provided a number of ways for us to know when men are speaking for Him. First, they will speak and write in His name, Yahowah, and only in His name. If you do not read or hear Yahowah, by name, addressing readers and 94listeners in first person, in a message that purports to be inspired by God, tune it out and toss it away. It is invalid.

Second, if God is addressed by any other name, such as Allah, Shiva, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, or the Lord, the message is not from Yahowah. It should not be trusted. God does not have a Gospel of Grace.

Third, Yahowah is consistent and inerrant. If you read or hear something which is contrary to His Towrah, or note a contradiction, it isn’t worth your consideration. If it misstates a historic event, it is not true. You might think that meeting this criterion would be the minimally acceptable standard for a religious text, but in fact, almost all of the historical presentations in the Quran are false, and the book is so filled with contradictions it provides a means to decide between conflicting accounts.

Fourth, Yahowah has witnessed our future. Having seen the consequences of our choices, some good but mostly bad, He uses future history to validate His testimony. Yahowah goes so far as to say that if someone claims to speak for Him, but his testimony does not include prophetic predictions, He did not inspire it. And if it includes prophecy, God inspired it only if every prediction is accurate. This, of course, eliminates the entire Quran and all of Paul’s epistles because there isn’t a single accurate prophecy in the lot of them.

This brings us to the final hated abomination, to someone God views as despicable and abhorrent. There are only two men of world renown who “claimed to be sent out as a messenger” of God, Paul and Muhammad. But only one did so for the express purpose of “doing away with something important” to God, His Covenant and its Towrah. Paul created a New Covenant and a New Testament to replace God’s gift and message. Muhammad, on the other hand, stupidly stated that his Quran confirmed the Towrah.

95Both of these men, as well as most of the others I mentioned, “created controversy and contentious strife, inspiring violent conflicts,” even “between brothers,” but God does not care if Romans are slaughtering Celts, or Sunni Muslims are killing Shias. His concern is for Yisra’el, and therefore His hatred is directed toward those who split His people apart and away from Him. Paul not only pitted Gentiles against Jews, he opposed Dowd, God’s beloved Son. Akiba was worse, separating Jews from their land and their God.

It is Yah’s intent to reconcile Yisra’el and Yahuwdah with each other and with Himself, something He will accomplish upon His return with Dowd on Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah at sunset, 6:22 PM, October 2, 2033, on the Roman Pagan Catholic calendar. The only thing worse than working in opposition to Yahowah’s interests is doing so while claiming to speak for Him.

And so there it is, all laid out before us. God has exposed and condemned Paul, the founder of the Christian religion, the author of half of its New Testament, for breaking His Covenant, for doing away with His Towrah, all while claiming to be a messenger chosen by God, and for creating controversy and strife between members of His Family.

Beyond the warning against this evil man, we have also discovered what God hates and why He hates these specific things. We know what He finds detestable as well. Realizing this, doesn’t it make sense for us to align our thinking with His, especially if we want His assistance? Or at the very least, now that we know what He finds most objectionable, wouldn’t it be reasonable to avoid such things?

By the way, did you consider the behaviors that didn’t make the list, that were not among the seven most disgusting and despicable acts? We had 1) conceited 96leadership, 2) deception, 3) taking innocent lives, 4) plotting invalid and unreliable schemes, 5) thoughtlessly and impetuously joining others in the pursuit of evil, 6) slanderous and deceptive testimony which incites the deluded to worship false gods, and 7) someone who claims to be sent out as a messenger to do away with something important which, we will soon learn, includes the conditions of the Covenant along with the Towrah’s guidance.

When we compare Yahowah’s top ten list, the three statements and seven instructions He etched in stone, to this group of seven abominations, we find considerable common ground. The ideas presented in the Towrah on the first tablet, specifically statements 1, 2, and 3, reveal that Yahowah alone is God, that He is our savior, that we should not be religious and promote or worship false gods, and that promoting the negation of Yahowah’s name and reputation is unforgivable are also covered by points 4, 5, 6, and 7 in the Proverb.

There was no specific mention of the Shabat, and thus no common ground with the 4^th of ten statements previously inscribed on the Towrah’s Tablets. However, the Pauline Christian propensity to do away with the Shabat in preference for the Lord’s Day, Sunday, is among the important things the self-anointed messenger abrogated. After all, setting apart the Shabat as a special day was the first of seven items listed on the second tablet, so it could well be part and parcel of the 7^th abomination.

The Proverb made no reference to respecting our Heavenly Father or Spiritual Mother, the 5^th instruction on the stone tablets. But, since Pauline Christianity has done away with Yahowah’s Covenant Family and is clueless regarding the identity and purpose of the Set-Apart Spirit, the consequence of doing away with this instruction may also be the reason Yahowah finds Paul so despicable.

97Not making the list in Proverbs was any reference to adultery, the 6^th of ten statements memorialized in stone. And you’ll note that neither homosexuality nor sexual promiscuity can be found on either list, taking considerable steam out of the vociferous Christian antagonism toward these common behaviors. However, since adultery is on Yahowah’s top ten list, in the 6^th position, we ought to remain cognizant of the spiritual implications of infidelity.

Admonitions against killing and being a false witness, 7 and 8 on the tablets, are clearly presented in both lists. And since people are being shown impetuously seeking to be included in fraudulent schemes because they covet anything from money to property, control or power, sexual conquest or salvation, the 10^th statement Yahowah memorialized in stone may be alluded to in the proverbial list. And while advice against stealing wasn’t specifically restated in the Mashal, it is often synonymous with deceit which was number 2 in Proverb 6.



Returning to the Mashal / Proverb, what follows is the antidote for the seven Pauline pathogens, indeed, for every malady that inflicts the overtly political and religious. Also worth noting, this advice provides a far better use for the design elements that comprise our anatomy.

“My son, choose to be spared and remain safe by closely observing and attentively focusing upon, so as to be protected and preserved by accepting the instructive terms of the relationship agreement of your Father and do not ever actually forego or reject the Towrah, which is the teaching of your Mother. (Mashal / Proverb 6:20)

98Choose to fasten them upon your heart, continuously electing of your own freewill to place them as an adornment upon your neck. (6:21)

In your walking, She will lead and guide you. Accompanying you when you rest, She will watch over you. And when you are awake, She will communicate with you, enabling you to seriously consider the situation and instructions. (6:22)

For indeed, the prescriptions and conditions of this relationship accord are a lamp illuminated by olive oil, and the Towrah is Light.

They are the way of lives, existing for rational discourse about being right regarding accurate instruction and correct teaching, (6:23) for the purpose of you closely examining and carefully considering so as to protect you from the woman who is evil, severing the relationship as a result of the smooth and seductive tongue of the treacherous Whore.” (Mashal / Proverb 6:24)

This is among the best, most beneficial, and reliable parental advice ever offered. So, let’s do as our Heavenly Father suggested, closely examining and carefully considering His guidance…

“My son (ben – My child), choose to be spared and remain safe by closely observing and attentively focusing upon, so as to be protected and preserved by accepting (natsar – of your own volition keep your eyes open and maintain your focus on being observant, remain close, forming a relationship with the protection provided by, branch out and grow by remaining diligently watchful, be kept safe by developing a protective relationship with the One who delivers you from danger through (qal stem denotes a genuine relationship which should be approached literally, while the imperative mood conveys second-person volition, making this the son’s decision, and the 99active voice means that if the son responds this way then he initiates the influence of)) the instructive terms of the binding contract (mitswah – the prescriptions and conditions of the covenant, the directions from the father to his children regarding the family, the precepts for the commission which is right, the teachings regarding what should be done, from tsawah – command (to act so as to grasp knowledge which leads to understanding, to gain expertise, obtaining the faculty and ability to appreciate that which is beneficial and right) (note: mitswah is often used as a synonym for towrah – teaching and guidance, direction and instruction, highlighting the correct and beneficial nature of the individual guidance being provided by the stipulations and provisions)) of your Father (‘ab – your father (singular, masculine, possessive, suffixed in the second-person singular and thus addressing our Heavenly Father)) and (wa) do not ever actually forego or reject (‘al natash – do not fail to act nor ever negate the statements, causing dissociation from the relationship, forsaking and deserting, discontinuing or abandoning (the qal stem conveys a literal interpretation of a relational instruction that should be considered genuine while the imperfect conjugation conveys this instruction has ongoing and continual implications throughout time, and the jussive mood is a third-person expression of volition and therefore choice and conveys desire under the auspices of freewill, making this the Mother’s will regarding)) the Towrah which is the teaching and guidance (towrah – source from which instructions and directions flow), of your Mother (‘em – biological or adoptive female parent, caregiver and provider, one who cares, helps, and protects (singular, feminine, possessive, suffixed in the second-person singular and thus addressing our Spiritual Mother)).” (Mashal / Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:20)

Having just considered a list of six attitudes and actions Yahowah hates, including seven things He finds so 100disgusting and despicable that they are an abomination to Him, we are presented with the most effective and beneficial way to avoid them. The means to circumvent being hated by God and to preclude being seen as disgusting, are found in the “mitswah – terms and conditions of the relationship agreement,” which, not so coincidentally, are disclosed exclusively in Yahowah’s “towrah – guidance and direction, instruction and teaching.”

The verb, natsar, that God selected to lead us away from the abominable nature of religion and government and to the benefits of participating in a relationship with Him by following the instructions He has provided is enlightening. When natsar is scribed in the qal stem, imperative mood, and active voice, and is set between the things Yahowah hates and loves, we discover that we can, of our own volition, actually choose to be spared from that which is despicable by closely examining and carefully considering the conditions of the Covenant as they are presented in the Towrah.

Even better, when we attentively and genuinely focus on the terms of the relationship agreement, our response, which is our decision to be observant, initiates the process that triggers the benefits of the Covenant, including its protections. Natsar, thereby, depicts “observation leading to salvation.” What’s more, natsar, vocalized as netser, speaks of “branching out and growing” which is one of the benefits of opening our eyes and reading the Towrah.

The “mitswah – instructive conditions associated with the relationship agreement,” serve as the “codicils of the contract,” as well as the “prescriptions” God is offering that we are “being encouraged to understand.” More important still, the mitswah are our “Father’s.” The “beryth – covenant” is Yahowah’s “beyth – family.” God is therefore advising us, of our own accord, to use our faculties to appreciate and grasp hold of the beneficial instructions He 101has provided for His children to engage in His Family and enter His Home. If we want to live with Him, we must of our own volition accept His conditions.

For those who prefer to have God’s words interpreted for them, be aware, at no time does Yahowah say: “Do not listen to Me. Instead listen to those who tell you that you aren’t smart enough to read HaShem’s words on your own.” Yahowah never once, in all of His Towrah, or through any of His prophets, directs His people’s attention to the Mishnah, Halakhah, or Talmud. There isn’t a single mention of a rabbi.

And while these specific stipulations, all five of them, are laid out for us in the opening book of the Towrah, we should not be surprised that God’s list of aversions explains the reasons behind the Covenant’s lone prerequisite: that we walk away from the political lies of government and the confusing and corrupting babel of religion. This is important because God would have to be silly to invite people into His Home that He hates and finds despicable. By asking us to dissociate from these seven things, these deceitful, destructive, disgusting, and deadly political and religious influences, Yahowah is keeping the most annoying rubbish out of His Home and making the resulting experience more suitable and enjoyable for His children.

No responsible and loving father would knowingly or willingly invite seriously destructive, resolutely deceitful, wickedly despicable, or absolutely deadly, hostile, and injurious individuals or influences into his home to harm his children. So why would anyone think that God is any different?

If you want Heaven’s door to be opened for you, you will first have to walk out of the doorways of political and religious institutions, walk away, and never return. This is a rational and reasonable, righteous and beneficial, 102absolutely necessary condition of the Covenant. Heaven is our Heavenly Father’s Home. He has set forth five rules for entry. You can accept them, reject them, or ignore them, but you cannot change them.

You would be better served to consider the Covenant’s five conditions in the context of the discussion in which they were presented (which you can do by turning to the Family volume of Yada Yahowah or the Covenant volume of Observations).

The conditions are: 1) walk away from the political and religious babel of your country, 2) trust and rely upon Yahowah instead, 3) walk to God and become perfected along the path He and His Son have provided, 4) closely examine and carefully consider the terms and conditions of the Covenant, and 5) circumcise your sons.

The benefits are: 1) eternal life, 2) being guiltless, 3) becoming adopted by God, 4) being enlightened and 5) being enriched by Yahowah.

Moving on to the second half of God’s previous statement, it too has several profound implications. First, the Towrah is being presented as the antidote for religious venom. By reading it, we come to know who Yahowah actually is, and therefore, we cannot be fooled by imposters. By closely examining it, we come to appreciate Yahowah’s plan and offer, making it impossible for anyone to deceive us into accepting a different and worthless proposal. By carefully considering it, we can easily discern what is of God and what is of man, what is true and what is false, what is beneficial and what is counterproductive, and what is reliable and what is not.

Second, this statement completely destroys the primary premise of the world’s most popular religion. There cannot be a revised and diverse testament offering a new and dissimilar covenant in light of the fact that God is telling us to never reject or negate the Towrah. And yet 103Christianity, as a direct consequence of Paul’s letters, dismisses every instruction in the Towrah, abandons all seven of its Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with God, and rejects its Covenant, including all of the conditions to participate in it. Christians have dissociated themselves from Yahowah’s only name, His exclusive language, His preferred place, His chosen people, His beloved Family, and His way. Every aspect of the Towrah’s teaching and guidance was discarded. The Towrah was dismissed as if it were a list of antiquated laws that no longer apply, which could not possibly be obeyed, and which somehow enslave and condemn.

There is a reason Paul fought with Jews and preached to Gentiles. His ridiculous rendition of the Towrah would have been immediately rejected by any rational person who had read the Towrah, or was the least bit familiar with it, which at the time included most Jews and excluded almost every Gentile.

The antidote for Pauline Christianity is the Towrah, which is why Paul demeaned and rejected it. And if he had done so quietly on his own, that would have been one thing, in that this is a choice everyone is given the opportunity to make. But Paul became the plague of death expressly because he misquoted and misrepresented the Towrah while, at the same time, claiming to speak for the God who authored it.

Paul’s initial letter, Galatians, “natash – abandons and negates, forgoes and rejects, dissociates from and forsakes” Yahowah’s foundational document, replacing every aspect of it, every instruction and every invitation, with his New Testament, including his new covenant, all based upon his gospel of grace and salvation through faith. It was all a lie.

God’s actual instruction is just the opposite. By holding onto the Towrah, we come to know Yahowah. It is the only place where God introduces Himself to 104humankind. We are enlightened by His teaching and benefit from His guidance. We are made aware of the conditions and benefits of the Covenant and learn how to engage in it. There is no place other than the Towrah where the means to participate in God’s Family is explained. We receive His Invitations and are instructed on how to properly respond and meet with God, once again in the Towrah. It is the only place where these Invitations are presented. By reading the Towrah, we even learn what to avoid so that we are never estranged from God.

The Towrah is the most valuable document in the universe because it not only introduces mankind to God, but it also systematically lays out the path to His Home, revealing the means to eternal life, absolute perfection, and adoption into our Heavenly Father and Spiritual Mother’s Family, allowing the beneficiaries to inherit the universe. It is the means to ultimate enlightenment, enrichment, and empowerment. The Towrah is Yahowah’s gift to His creation. To toss it away is foolish. To oppose it – despicable.

Since so many have been bamboozled by Paul’s, and thus Christianity’s, twisted interpretation of Torah as “Law” to “be obeyed,” as opposed to “Teaching” from which to learn, please note, there is no Hebrew word for “obey.” When you read “obey” in a religious “Bible” “translation” of the “old testament,” the word they have misrepresented is actually shama’ which means: “listen.” Even more to the point, Torah does not mean “law” or anything remotely akin to it.

Towrah is from tow – a signed, written, and enduring, towrah – way of treating people, tuwr – giving them the means to explore, to seek, to find, and to choose, yarah – the source from which instruction, teaching, guidance, and direction flow, which tuwb – provides answers which facilitate restoration and return, delineating the proper response and reply to that which is towb – good, pleasing, 105joyful, beneficial, favorable, healing, and right, and that which causes a person to be loved, to become acceptable, and to endure, tohorah – purifying and cleansing them, towr – so as to provide them with an opportunity to change their thinking, attitude, and direction.”

The third profound implication found in this section is the association between the Towrah and our Mother. We know that the “Father” throughout this Proverb has been Yahowah, our Heavenly Father, a fact that was affirmed when we were introduced by His name in Proverb 6:16. This was reestablished in the current verse when the “mitswah – terms and conditions of the relationship agreement” belonged to the Father – the paternal manifestation of God’s nature. So, with this in mind, the Mother, to whom the Towrah belongs, must also be a manifestation of Yahowah but, this time, maternal.

The only motherly depiction of Yahowah’s nature is the “ruwach qodesh – set-apart spirit” who is absolutely feminine. She is responsible for enlightening, empowering, perfecting, enabling, healing, nurturing, and saving” the Covenant’s children which is why the instructions accompanying four of the seven Invitations to Meet with God ask us to respond by coming into the presence of the “‘ishah – feminine and maternal manifestation of God’s light.” Also revealing and affirming, ruwach – spirit, towrah – guidance, and mitswah – conditions of the relationship are all feminine as is the beryth – covenant.

The fact that the Towrah belongs to our Mother affirms the actual identity of the Mother depicted in the second of seven instructions Yahowah etched on the second of two tablets, explaining why it is so important to properly value and respect Her contribution to lengthening the duration of time we can spend in the Promised Land. Making these connections, and learning from them, is exactly what God had in mind. It is the basis of understanding.

106In a moment, helping us make this important association, Yahowah will equate His Towrah to light. That is relevant because the Set-Apart Spirit is a direct manifestation of Yahowah’s light in our world – literally God’s spiritual energy set apart from Him. This means that, in character and nature, going from greater to lesser amounts of the same thing: Yahowah = Set-Apart Spirit = Towrah = Light.

If you want to see God, read the Towrah.

In this regard, it is fascinating to reflect upon Einstein’s formula E=mc². It reveals that light/energy and material/matter are identical in nature but not quantity, meaning that matter is a diminished form of energy. Therefore, considering this equation, we should see Yahowah (who exists in the seventh dimension) entering four dimensions (spacetime) through the Set-Apart Spirit, by setting apart a tiny fraction of Himself.

This means that the Set-Apart Spirit is identical to Yahowah in character and nature, but not in quantity or substance. It’s the difference between an ocean of water and the steam emitted from a geyser of boiling water.

This known, once we complete Observations and commence Coming Home, we will discover that while “Jesus” isn’t the Messiah, King, or Son of God; Dowd | David is all of these things and more. Likewise, even though we do not have an accurate accounting of anything Jesus may have said, even if he existed, Dowd left us a written legacy worthy of the God of whom he wrote.

The original autograph of the Towrah currently sits beside the Ark of the Covenant. The information it conveys to an observant and thoughtful individual by way of its letters releases the potential energy stored in the neurons of our brains, transforming His words into light, literally empowering our enlightenment. This is the way we come 107to know Yahowah and, also, the way God comes to exist within us. It is how we become ever more like Him.

Further, the empowering, enriching, and enlightening transformation provided by observing the Towrah is facilitated by the Set-Apart Spirit, because She enlightens us as we study God’s testimony. The Spirit and the Word work in harmony and are one in nature, character, and purpose. Moreover, while Dowd is the living embodiment of the Towrah’s purpose, serving as the ultimate shepherd, in his second of three lives, he walked out of the pages of the Towrah, facilitating Yahowah’s plan as the Passover Lamb.

So now that we know what our eyes should gaze upon, what our tongues should recite, and what our hands should hold, let’s place it in our hearts to adorn our souls.

“Choose to unceasingly fasten them (qashar – physically or mentally tie, bind, and join them, closely associating them (qal – genuinely for the sake of the relationship, imperfect – on an ongoing basis, and imperative – the mood of volition in the second person (and thus expressing the choice and desire of God’s children))) upon (‘al) your heart to influence your judgment (leb – your character and persona, the place from which your attitudes and desires are manifest, that which constitutes your most authentic nature and becomes the very fabric of your life, the place where that which is known, considered, and accepted serves to provide perspective, guiding your thoughts and conduct, becoming the source of your understanding and motivations, goals and ambitions, preferences and purpose, volition and judgment), continuously (tamyd – constantly and without interruption, stretching this out and doing this into perpetuity, forevermore) electing of your own freewill to place them as an adornment (‘anad – to choose to clasp or bind them all around, as if actually being clothed in them (qal, imperative)) upon (‘al) your neck (gargarowth – 108your throat, your source of breath, nourishment, and speech, the connection between your head and your body, plural of garar – to chew cud, a metaphor depicting someone who thoroughly digests all that is nourishing, chewing on the morsels and breaking them down time after time).” (Mashal / Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:21)

It should be readily apparent in this context that our “heart” is not a reference to the organ that pumps blood throughout our bodies nor a metaphor for emotions. It is information that we are being asked to fasten in this location, specifically the Towrah’s teaching and conditions for participating in the Covenant. At the time this was written, when someone asked another to take something to heart, they were encouraging them to focus on what was being revealed, becoming familiar with the issues involved. That is because the heart was viewed as the seat of reason and understanding. By contrast, our emotions often mislead us. They are capricious and change. But reason is always a valid approach to understanding. It is a far more reliable guide.

As an example, Yahowah said that Dowd / David had a heart after His own because Dowd’s reasoning was sound, and his understanding was correct. Dowd was seldom good, but he was almost always right. As a thinking person, he accepted Yahowah’s teaching, incorporating His instructions into the very fabric of his life, grounding himself in Yah’s guidance. This provided the solid footing upon which he stood and gave him the proper perspective from which to observe the world, all while enhancing his relationship with God.

Our neck is also important for several reasons. First, Yahowah equates it to our “nepesh – soul,” a word which also means “breath.” We breathe through our throats, and when we stop breathing, it is an indication that our soul is 109gone. The only way to preserve a soul is to embrace the Towrah.

Second, food travels from our mouths to our stomachs through our throats. When we consume that which is nourishing, and thus good for us, we are healthy and grow. But when we consume the poisonous words of politics and religion, we get sick and die. Nothing is more nourishing for our souls than Yahowah’s Towrah.

Lastly, the spoken words that we convey begin as vibrations in our larynx, the voice box located in our throats, turning the air that we breathe out into discernable speech. Our testimony will be valuable and accurate, adorning our souls, when our words are guided by His words as they appear in His Towrah.

With our eyes properly focused, our tongues reciting God’s words, our hands holding His instructions, and His message placed in our hearts and adorning our necks, our path is properly guided by our Spiritual Mother through Her Towrah.

“In your walking (ba halak – while traveling (with the hitpael stem, we benefit as a direct result of our decision to walk as led, while the infinitive renders halak both a verb and thus actionable, and as a noun and thus descriptive of a specific path, and the construct state binds this walk to that which follows, which is Her guidance)), She will continuously lead and guide you (nachach ‘atah – She will always direct you, creating a favorable opportunity for you whereby good things are bestowed upon you in the future when you are brought forth and sustained (in the hifil stem, the subject enables the object to participate in the action, in essence, directing us to be like our Spiritual Mother, and thus like God, while the imperfect reveals that this condition will endure forever)).

Accompanying (‘eth – in association with) you (‘atah) when (ba) you rest (shakab – you lie down or 110sleep), She will watch over you (shamar ‘al ‘atah – She will focus upon you, paying close attention, steadfastly observing and thoughtfully considering you).

And when (wa) you awake (qyts – you arise, roused from your sleep, and you are alive and alert), She will communicate with you, enabling you to seriously consider the situation and instructions (syach – She will direct your attention to the content of the guidance, focusing upon the apparent thought behind it, pondering the reasons for it (qal stem denotes a literal interpretation of the actual communication and consideration and the imperfect conjugation conveys the ongoing nature of this thought-provoking exchange)).” (Mashal / Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:22)

This is the path presented in the Towrah. It is the way to our Heavenly Father which is illuminated by our Spiritual Mother. She serves as our guide and companion. She enhances our understanding, inspiring a deeper and more accurate appreciation for who Yahowah is and what He is offering. As such, the ruwach qodesh – set-apart Spirit is our counselor; She is our representative and advisor. She is the light along the way.

To benefit from Her offer to guide us to God, we must open our eyes and our minds as we turn to Her Towrah. When we do, becoming observant, She communicates with us, enabling us to fully comprehend the stipulations of the Covenant while evaluating the Towrah’s instructions. It is how we engage in a thought-provoking dialog with God.

In this regard, consider the association between light and being observant. One is impossible without the other. Our eyes were designed to process light. Without light, there is nothing to see. The greater the illumination, the more we comprehend. By design, we were created to observe God’s light. And we accomplish this by reading the Towrah while being enlightened by the Spirit.

111Affirming all of this, we read…

“For indeed (ky – surely, emphasizing this statement, because, as a sign of belonging), the prescriptions and conditions of the relationship agreement (mitswah – the directions and terms of the binding contract, the instructions from the father to his children regarding the family, the precepts for the commission which is right, the teachings regarding what should be done) are a lamp illuminated by olive oil (nyr – a glistening light provided by a lit wick fueled by a container of olive oil (symbolic of the Set-Apart Spirit)), and the Towrah (towrah – teaching, instruction, direction, and guidance, from yarah – source from which teaching and guidance flow) is Light (‘owr – is enlightenment, brilliance, the antithesis of darkness, is a source of glorious and shining illumination).” (Mashal / Word Pictures / Proverb 6:23 in part)

Light isn’t just the inverse of darkness, light eliminates darkness. Where there is light, darkness ceases to exist. It is in this way that the light provided by the Towrah and Set-Apart Spirit perfects us, obliterating all traces of guilt so that, we not only appear perfect from Yahowah’s perspective, we are perfect. Even better, this application of God’s light enables us to be with Him, joining Him in the seventh dimension. It further facilitates our capacity to explore the totality of the six-dimensional universe that He created for us without any restrictions or limitations – including time. Light is forever, the very measure of time. It is comprised of all time, making us immortal.

In this way, the enlightened are empowered, transformed from a flawed three-dimensional physical being stuck in the ordinary flow of time to light. The Covenant’s children are liberated, able to go anywhere and experience everything from the inner workings of the atom to the most distant galaxies.

112The “mitswah – instructive prescriptions and binding conditions of the relationship agreement regarding participation in the family” represent the most essential aspect of the Towrah. And yet, the terms of the Covenant are just part of the light, or more accurately, the path to the light. Being adopted into Yah’s Family isn’t the culmination of the journey but instead the beginning. The benefits of the mitswah are eternal because this lamp has an unlimited amount of oil. And even then, the mitswah serve as the flame which ignites the towrah’s light, thereby equipping us to spend eternity as children of the Light.

The Covenant’s luminary was described as a “nyr – a glistening lamp fed by a reservoir of olive oil.” Symbolic of such lamps, the Temple’s Manowrah, features seven oil wicks fed from a single source. It was designed to reinforce the formula upon which the Covenant is based: six (representing the number of man conceived on the sixth day) with God (who is one) yields seven, which is the desired result. It illuminates many essential aspects of Yahowah’s nature, plan, purpose, timing, and universe.

The Manowrah, as Yah’s quintessential lamp, encourages us to envision Yahowah in the seventh dimension, seeing Him as the power behind the six-dimensional universe He created in six days. We see the six steps of the Miqra’ey leading to Yahowah on the seventh step, serving as His Invitations to join Him in His Home. Even time is measured this way, with six thousand years of human history following the expulsion from the garden to our return to ‘Eden, when we will celebrate the Shabat of Sukah until Year 7000 Yah. Even the rainbow, which served as the initial symbol of the Covenant, is always arranged in the same order with light divided into seven distinct wavelengths – Red, Orange, Yellow – Green – Blue, Indigo, and Violet, with green, the color symbolic of life and growth, always centered in the spectrum.

113The source of the lamp’s light, olive oil, is the primary metaphor for the Set-Apart Spirit. Olive oil produced the purest and brightest light in the ancient world. It was part of a healthy diet and was used for cleansing to promote healing, and for anointing.

God’s light illuminates the one and only path to Him – facilitating the means to be with Him and to be like Him. There are seven steps along the way. Our journey Home begins with the doorway to eternal life on Pesach | Passover. We are invited across the welcome mat adorning the threshold of our Heavenly Father’s Home on Matsah | UnYeasted Bread when we are cleansed and perfected by being immersed in God’s light. This is possible because Dowd carried our guilt into She’owl and deposited it there, never to be seen again.

This enables Yahowah to adopt us into His Family on Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children the following day as we become children of light. Seven Sevens later, on Shabuw’ah | the Promise of Seven, the Covenant’s beneficiaries are enlightened, enriched, and empowered by Yah’s light, facilitating our exploration of the universe and companionship with God.

If I may be so bold, Yahowah never speaks of Hanukkah. A nine-candle menorah is a deliberate corruption of God’s message.

This also enables us to become more effective witnesses on Taruw’ah | Trumpets when we serve as God’s troubadours – enlightening a world lost in darkness. We not only warn our wayward world that most everyone is headed in the wrong direction, and away from God’s light, but we also shine His light on the proper path for all to see.

This brings us to Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations when Yahowah will reconcile His relationship with Yisra’el and Yahuwdah upon His return with His Son – a day when He and Dowd will arrive as 114Light. This enables all of those who have listened to God, who have responded to His invitations, and who have accepted the conditions of the Covenant, to celebrate Sukah | Camping Out with the Light in His Home, forever.

Once again, you are free to walk along this path illuminated by God by responding to Yahowah’s invitations. You can ignore God’s path and continue to stumble in the darkness if you would like. You can even reject His way and oppose His light, albeit with a serious consequence – an eternity of darkness. But no one is permitted to eliminate or change any aspect of Yahowah’s path nor alter the light He provides along the way.

Continuing to speak of the mitswah of our Father and the Towrah of our Mother, Yahowah stipulates…

“They are the way (derek – are the path, the route to walk, the journey to embark upon, the conduit and enterprise to follow, and the prepared thoroughfare to proceed to get from one place to another (singular)) of lives (chayym – prosperous, absolute, animated, and vigorous existence, bountiful, blessed, favorable, abundant, and properly nourished living (plural), from chayah – to live and to remain alive, to sustain life, to be restored to life, to be revived and to live prosperously), the means to rational discourse (towkachah – of proper argument and logical debate, from yakach – to reason, to prove, and to decide, to judge and to correct, to be rational) about being right (muwsar – for accurate instruction and correct teaching, for a disciplined life, for morality, self-control, and good judgment),…” (Mashal / Meaningful and Easy to Remember Sayings / Proverb 6:23)

Light is essential for life, the fleeting mortal type we experience in the here and now, but also eternal life with God. That is the reason “chayym – lives” was presented in the plural form. This is akin to being born of water, from 115which plant and animal life emerged, and indicative of our journey out of the womb as human babies, it also addresses being born anew eternally by way of our Spiritual Mother.

When it comes to our relationship with Yahowah, few things are as important as being right. It is infinitely more beneficial than attempting to be good. This entire Mashal, all of our Heavenly Father’s instruction, including the Set-Apart Spirit’s Maternal advice, is for that purpose. The Towrah’s | Teaching provides the instruction we require to become right regarding God.

Since the Towrah is light, it is eternal. Since its mitswah guides us Home, nothing is more valuable. Since both are prescriptions for living, they represent the means to eternal life. Since both are right, neither can be wrong. Since both are equated with our Heavenly Father and Spiritual Mother, they can always be trusted. This, then, negates the premise of Christianity and obliterates any notion of a New Testament replacing the Torah and of a New Covenant superseding the existing one. This logical deduction is discerned by rationally evaluating the evidence. We have listened to Yahowah, read His words, closely examined what He has to say, and carefully considered His arguments in favor of His way and in opposition to man’s way.

There is, of course, another option, and that is to be stupid, to remain ignorant and irrational, to place one’s faith in a religion. But believing that which is obviously untrue, and squandering one’s soul in the process, does not sound appealing.

Still speaking of the Towrah’s light, and of the lives which flow out of this heavenly discourse, we are told that they exist, in part, for us to be able to discern right from wrong, trustworthy from unreliable…

“…for the purpose of (la – in order to) you closely examining and carefully considering so as to protect 116you (shamar – being observant and aware, paying proper attention, guarding you) from (min – out of and far away from) the woman (‘ishah – female individual, feminine of ‘iysh) who is evil, repulsive and offensive, severing the relationship (ra’ – who is improper, immoral, injurious, disagreeable, malignant, hurtful, and harmful, noisome and for naught, repugnant and repellant, both bad and wrong, from ra’a’ – mischievous, displeasing, unethical, sad, wicked, broken, torn asunder, Ra is also the name of the Egyptian sun god), from (min) the smooth and seductive (chelqah – slippery and flattering, from cheleq – to take one’s possessions, portion, or share and thus indicative of robbing individuals of their property and soul) tongue (lashown – language and speech) of the foreign woman (nakryah – of the adulteress who seeks to break the marriage vow (i.e., the Covenant), of the feminine allure of foreign enticements).” (Mashal / Meaningful Sayings / Proverb 6:24)

We have just taken our first step in a long journey that will ultimately lead to an accurate understanding of the Adversary’s character, motives, and means. Satan’s most effective guise, according to God, is as a foreign seductress. She is sometimes called the Whore of Babylon. Beautiful and attractive, charming and accommodating, enticing and alluring, this adulteress takes more than her lover’s money. She corrupts the participant’s character, robbing them of their dignity.

Self-loathing follows, a pathetic cry that is silenced by intoxicants, leaving an unlovable shell of a man whose respite is either religion or yet another unsatisfying encounter. It all leads to an inability to function as a husband and father in a loving and trusting family.

The Devil is seldom pictured as a woman peddling love. And yet, the Whore has managed to corrupt one of the most beautiful things God created, perverting the reason He conceived us. Asked to describe Satan’s 117appearance, few would present the enticing image of a beautiful woman with alluring eyes, a captivating smile, and hair that shimmers in the light as it cascades over slender shoulders to caress the cleavage of her bosom. Who among us would depict the Devil in high heels, adorned in a sequined evening gown, glamorously bejeweled, wearing the softest shade of lipstick, deftly applied?

And yet, this is how Yahowah depicts the Adversary. The reasons are many. And they are all revealing. In fact, the more you know in this regard, the better equipped you’ll be to avoid the influence of such enticements.

Since I don’t think that any of this is intuitive, I’d like to share some thoughts on why Yahowah used the allure of a foreign woman to describe Satan’s influence.

First, God’s prime directive is for us to come to know Him, to engage in a personal relationship with Him, and to love Him. A disingenuous woman can feign love. In particular, prostitutes get up close and personal with their clients. They tell their tricks what they want to hear. They do what their johns want done, all to make them feel good about something that is clearly wrong. And I suppose that is why God is far more concerned with us being right than good, with our thoughts rather than our feelings.

This point of view helps explain why this seductive point of attack is designed to cheapen and corrupt Yahowah’s reason for creating us, confusing many regarding the nature of love, while providing countless others with a perverted and corrupt variation. The propensity of a woman who would lure someone away from their first love, from their marriage, would be to confuse, to pervert and corrupt, to “babel” in Yahowah’s parlance, something as vital as love. This helps explain why God associates this Whore with Babel – the source of religious confusion and corruption.

118Second, Yahowah wants us to know Him for who He is and for what He has actually done. Immoral women will do the opposite. They do not want to be known. They change their names, appearances, and addresses, and hide behind false pretenses that are carefully constructed to preclude their true identity from being revealed – a characteristic reminiscent of the gods of pagan mythology. You won’t very often see “prostitute” spelled out on a job application – just as you seldom see the origin of HaShem, Lord, Jesus, or Allah publicly presented.

Satan does not want to be known as the Adversary. He wants to be known as God. So, just as the image of a beautiful woman would be the last chosen by most to depict Satan, the last place most people would suspect that they would encounter Satan would be as the Lord in the world’s great religions. And yet, that is where you will find the Whore, pimped by popes, cardinals, bishops, priests, pastors, imams, and rabbis.

Third, God wants us to choose to become part of His Covenant Family and to live with Him in His Home. Bring a foreign woman into the mix and families are shattered. Marriage vows are forgotten. And in so doing, men are lured away from the best life has to offer.

Speaking of lures, did you ever wonder why prostitutes are called “hookers?” A lure is a hook, one cleverly disguised to appear delectable, but it captures its prey so that the catch can be reeled into a net.

Similarly, have you ever considered why the clients of prostitutes are called “tricks” and “johns?” Is it not a trivial game to them – one in which lives are often flushed away?

While most are aware of the phrase “world’s oldest profession,” did you know that prostitutes generate annual revenue exceeding $100 billion? Are you aware that there are 50 million active prostitutes today, and that number excludes sex slaves? Are you aware of the connection 119between prostitution and religion? If not, it began in Babylon, where the “Houses of Heaven” were made alluring through “sacred prostitution.”

The practice continued as Babylonia became Persia and their state-sponsored religion morphed into Zoroastrianism. In fact, the religious profession became so commonplace that the Code of Hammurabi contained provisions to assure full inheritance rights for these revered prostitutes.

In ancient Greece, the birthplace of democracy, women and boys became extraordinarily influential as prostitutes, charging so much money for their services, that the state promoted them and then taxed them. Far from cloistered or stigmatized, prostitution represented a notable part of economic activity and employed a significant number of people.

In Athens, the city government established state-run brothels, regulating the prices for each session depending upon its duration and activity. In them, boys served adult male clientele. Most were slaves, but not all. The practice was fully integrated into the society, the temple of Aphrodite Pandemos was funded by such indulgences to expressly convey that love, democracy, and religion were “Of the People.”

In the beast which became Rome, prostitution was legal, public, and popular. As was the case with almost everyone who actually “worked” in Rome, prostitutes were usually foreign slaves, captured, sold, and trained for that purpose. The practice was so widespread that Rome actually had “prostitute farmers” who raised slaves and abandoned children to become proficient in seduction.

Roman aristocrats who bought them, especially Senators, were able to inspect and test the naked boys and girls who were offered for sale without stigma. These politicians and businessmen would then erect brothels in 120the center of Roman towns, decorating their façade with a pictorial menu.

Muhammad encouraged prostitution as well, telling Muslims in the Quran that they could deploy their slave girls as prostitutes with Allah’s consent. Then, after limiting the number of wives to four for his followers, albeit not for himself, he sanctioned the muta’a – temporary marriage, which made an encounter with a prostitute akin to sex with one’s wife.

The term “Turkish Bath,” is a product of the Ottoman Empire, where the bodies of naked boys served to arouse and wash the decadent bathers. Known as Tawaif, young girls were trained by the Muslim Mongols to play music, recite poetry, and dance, creating “high-class courtesans” to serve the rich and noble. In Afghanistan they have recently revived the practice, forcing young boys into prostitution, and calling it “Bacha Bazi – Boy Play.”

In Hindu India, most prostitutes are children, with an estimated number exceeding 1.2 million. In nearby Muslim Bangladesh, ninety percent of prostitutes are underage. And almost all of them ingest the steroid, Oradexon, which is sold over the counter to fatten cattle, but makes the children appear more mature. Turning east, in Buddhist Thailand, “sex tourism” has become an economic mainstay, and children are the featured attractions.

Similarly, in Cambodia, the nation has become a destination for pedophiles. Selling one’s own child into sexual slavery is common in Thailand, Cambodia, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Nepal, whereas nations like China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine are the most prolific at kidnapping other people’s children. The primary purchasers of sex slaves, and thus the principal destinations of these children, include Japan, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Turkey, and the United States according to the United Nations.

121Kidnapping little girls, raping them, and then selling them naked on stage while reading Quran passages legitimizing the practice, isn’t limited to the Islamic State and Boko Haram. Sex trafficking represents eighty percent of kidnapping and the slave trade worldwide. It is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world today, outpacing illicit drugs. One million little girls are sold across international borders each year as sex slaves, with many times that number trading hands within the countries of their capture.

Jews were not immune. Rabbis wrote the Aramaic Zohar (meaning Splendor and Radiance) to create Kabbalah (meaning Received through Tradition), a demonic mystical permutation of Judaism in which four mal’ak – messengers serve as sacred prostitutes. The Queens of the Demons are Lilith, Naamah, Agrat Bat Mahlat, and Eisheth Zenumim. Should you be interested in such satanic impersonations, the Zohar first appeared in Spain in the 13^th century, as published by Moses de Leon, who described it as the revelation of a 2^nd-century-rabbi, Shimon bar Yochai – an eminent disciple of Rabbi Akiba. The same depiction, however, is also provided in the Jewish Alphabet of Ben Sira.

So yes, indeed, the Whore is the most compelling guise to corrupt and confuse, to pervert and estrange. It allows Satan to shine in the place the world least expects him: churches, mosques, and temples. It makes the Adversary alluring.

Satan is a mal’ak – a spiritual being comprised of light – albeit flashy and inconsistent. And as light, no matter how degraded, diminished, or darkened, no matter how distant from the original source, Satan isn’t even remotely akin to the ugly, red-horned goat/man shown in religious depictions. The religious portrayal of Satan is as erroneous as the religious presentation of God. For example, the self-proclaimed apostle Paul saw Satan as a flashing and 122blinding light – the Adversary’s true form – on the road to Damascus.

This demonic Whore, named “Ba’al – Lord” by Yahowah, doesn’t want to be known as, seen as, or worshiped as Satan, as the Adversary, but, instead, as a god. To this end, Satan has sought to pervert and corrupt God’s testimony, inspiring the Bible’s New Testament, the Talmud, the Quran, and the Zohar to become the god of religion. This Whore of Babylon is now worshiped as the Lord Jesus Christ in Christianity, as Allah in Islam, as ‘adony | my Lord, HaShem | the Name, and, therefore, as the G-D of Rabbinic Judaism, as Buddha, and as Krishna, a form of Vishnu, and Shiva in the Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism. Satan is seen in the gilded and gaudy architecture of Roman Catholic Cathedrals and in the soaring grandeur of Roman-inspired government shrines and buildings.

Spiritual beings, like Yahowah, and thus like the created mal’ak, are not sexual but manifest both masculine and feminine characteristics. In this Mashal / Proverb, for example, Yahowah is speaking to His children as both Heavenly Father and Spiritual Mother. So do not be confused by the feminine reference to the “whore, harlot, and adulteress.” This is simply one of Satan’s guises.

Over the course of the next six chapters, we will be learning a great deal more about this Whore of Babel, this lord of religious confusion. She will be called Astarte, who became Ishtar, the basis for the Christian holidays of Easter and Christmas. She will be condemned by Yahowah as the Queen of Heaven, not surprising since Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christians worship her as such.

Before we move on, let’s linger a moment longer and contemplate what Yahowah revealed about the character and manner of the Whore. He called her “ra’ – someone who is improper and immoral, mischievous and unethical, 123wicked and injurious, displeasing and disagreeable, malignant and harmful, noisome and for naught, repugnant and obnoxious.” And if you recall, ra’ was used in the opening line of this Mashal, when Yahowah asked us to refrain from and then repudiate any oath or pledge given on behalf of something that was “ra’ – evil, repulsive, and offensive, severing the relationship.” Ra is also the name of the Egyptian sun god, often referred to as Amen Ra.

That should give Christians pause, because they almost always conclude their prayers, “In the name of god we pray, Amen.” So, by calling the Whore “ra’,” Yahowah has come full circle, thereby affirming the conclusions we articulated some sixty pages ago, connecting the dots for us between the Adversary and the Whore, between the Whore and religion, and between religion and government, all while revealing that the Adversary does not play fair, that Satan is duplicitous and unethical.

In the previous statement, God also revealed that Satan, in the guise of the Whore, was “chelqah – slippery, smooth, and seductive.” She “robs people of their property and souls, coming to possess them by flattering them.” So, let’s think about how “flattery” serves Satan while depriving the Adversary’s victims. To flatter is “to fawn adulation which pleases and gratifies.” Flattery is a “fake and fraudulent appraisal designed to create a false impression which is then used to manipulate the recipient.” As such, there would be no reason whatsoever to suspect that Satan would ever appear to anyone as the Devil. The Adversary will always introduce himself to those he seeks to influence as the opposite of his true nature, as either God or as a source of enlightenment.

Further, the Adversary isn’t trying to scare anyone with a hideous appearance or threatening manner. The Whore’s preferred method is to seduce, not frighten or intimidate.

124Therefore, the tools of the Devil’s trade are seductive words. In this case, the language is designed to be confusing – to appear one way but actually be another.

The term “nakryah – foreign female” is from nakar. This reveals that this woman isn’t foolish but instead observant, fully cognizant of what has and will occur throughout human history. She is actually quite perceptive and discerning. And in this regard, she has a counterpart, the nakry, a man whom Yahowah predicts will do his utmost to combat the influence of the nakryah – helping God’s people find their way home.

But we are getting ahead of our story. We will not meet the Nakry until we are well into our journey.
