The reason that it may appear that Yasha’yah | Isaiah 7:16 might dovetail nicely with Yasha’yah 9:6: “For a child is born to us, and unto us a Son is given” is because both Yasha’yah | Isaiah 7 and 9 pertain to Dowd. This should not be a surprise, because Dowd is mentioned by name in both prophecies.
In a subsequent series, entitled, Coming Home, and later in this series on Observations, the oft-cited prophecy in Yasha’yah | Isaiah 9 will be examined for our edification. Thereby, we will come to appreciate why it is evocative of God’s beloved Son and Messiah Dowd.
Neither Yasha’yah 7:16 nor Yasha’yah 9:6 would have been written as they were if not to make this point, affirming the mundane birth of Dowd to underscore the profound importance of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym –directing our way to the Covenant.
We are currently observing the 7th chapter of Yasha’yah | Isaiah, so it should be noted that 7:16 reveals something I’ve long suspected but dared not say because it impugns the holy grail of Christian mythology. Since God has always existed, He could not and cannot be born, not on Christmas, not on Sukah, not on any day, ever.
An ordinary child was born just like every other human child, replete with all the faults that go along with being human. He cried, burped, pooped, and peed, just like any other baby. He was dependent upon his mother to feed him and his father to protect him. In other words, from the 491moment he was born until he reached the age of accountability, and perhaps even beyond, Dowd was like the rest of us. It is why we hear so little of his childhood in either his first or second life.
When we move from chapter 7 to chapter 11 of Yasha’yah | Isaiah, Yahowah presents His plan to deploy and enable a Choter | Secondary Stem and Sucker from the original branch and decaying roots to set His people straight regarding His Shem, the fulfillment of the Miqra’ey, the conditions of the Beryth, and the role of the Zarowa’.
As we are discovering, the great prophet is here to tell Dowd’s story and how it pertains to the salvation of Yisra’el – especially as God’s People are reintroduced to their Messiah by his Herald. Yahowah, Yasha’yah, Dowd, and the Choter are engaged in a collaborative effort to call a receptive remnant of the Chosen People Home away from politics and religion and to Yahowah. The prophecy conveys…
“Then a Choter | a shoot or sucker from the stump (wa choter – a stem or secondary branch, a pliable instrument who is a secondary source of growth serving as a living entity delivering progeny, an observant individual who is willing to listen and who is committed to thinking and sharing what is most valuable) will be extended for a limited time (yatsa’ – he will be brought forth to serve (qal perfect active sequential third-person masculine singular)) by means of (min – out of) the stock (geza’ – the original stump and root from which new growth emerges, the trunk which has been cut down and yet is capable of supporting new shoots) of Yshay | to Stand Out and Be Noticed (Yshay – To Draw Attention to the Substance of Existence; from yesh – to exist and become substantial, to stand up and be noticed), as (wa) an observant branch (netser – a secondary stem or shoot which extends from a primary limb; from natsar – to observe, watch over, and preserve, 492to closely look after, focus on, and protect) by means of (min) his roots, and that which keeps him anchored, steadfast, and nourished (sheresh huw’ – his base and foundation, that which keeps him firmly established), such that he will continually bear an abundance of fruit, being productive while encouraging productivity in others (parah – so that he will be consistently fruitful while causing and enabling prosperity on behalf of successive generations (qal imperfect)).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:1)
A Choter is a Secondary Branch – one growing out of the main limb of the Tree of Lives which is extended through Dowd. He is being deployed today, in advance of Dowd’s return. This is evident based on the depictions in the prophecy. His message is rooted and nourished by that which came forth from Yshay, i.e., Dowd – making him uniquely qualified to assess the Messiah’s Mizmowr and prophecies found elsewhere pertaining to the Son of God. He will stand out and be noticed for advocating on Dowd’s behalf and on behalf of Yisra’el.
Also interesting, especially in the context of a stump: the olive is the tree most representative of the Promised Land. It is very long-lived, firmly rooted, and produces the oil used to anoint the Mashyach. When an olive tree ceases to be productive, as was the case with Yisra’el, and is cut down or pruned, choter | shoots and suckers sprout out of the ground and off of the truncated branch to bring the sun’s energy to the roots of the tree. Choters rejuvenate the neglected and unproductive olive, such that the title serves as an apt depiction of Yahowah’s intent.
Digging deeper, September is the best time to reestablish an olive tree from root suckers or stem cuttings, which corresponds to the time of Taruw'ah, which exists to herald Kipurym. The best results come from finding a sprout or sucker that is the size of the most common of writing implements – a pencil. For the best 493results, each choter should be planted where it absorbs plenty of light. With support, a supply of water and nourishment, the shoot or sucker will produce an abundant harvest of olives.
A search into the identity of the Choter is easily resolved. This is not only because Solomon had a great deal to say about what he called the Nakry | Observant Foreigner but, also, due to what Yasha’yah will continue to reveal about this Herald, Voice, Messenger, Witness, and collaborative zarowa’ throughout the remainder of his prophetic testimony.
While this prophecy speaks of a singular Choter, it explains how every member of the Covenant can serve as a choter on behalf of God’s people. The Ruwach, as our Spiritual Mother, is ever ready to enlighten and empower every lamb within Yah’s flock.
The purpose of the Choter is to encourage Yisra’elites and even Gowym to consider the words of the prophets, and especially Dowd’s message on behalf of the Beryth and Miqra’ey. And due to the importance of this mission in advance of Yowm Kipurym’s fulfillment, and the realization that time is running out for God’s people, the Choter is inspired and enabled by Yahowah in unprecedented ways…
“This is because (wa) the Spirit (ruwach – the Divine power, influence, and energy, the discernable feminine essence of manifestation and understanding, the Maternal acceptance and support with the protection and light) of Yahowah (Yahowah) will settle and remain on him (nuwach ‘al huw’ – She was placed upon him, She energizes him and restores him, She is in an alliance with him, dwelling and residing within him, never departing his abode while She enriches the association and assures the most favorable outcome for him, enabling him to be composed and prevail no matter the challenge (qal perfect 494third-person feminine singular and third-person masculine singular)), the Spirit (ruwach) providing the capacity to comprehend and then teach (chakmah – offering the mental aptitude and wisdom to learn and instruct, to comprehend and communicate, providing the technical expertise to be discerning and educate) while (wa) enabling understanding by making the proper connections to reveal insights (binah – facilitating the propensity to ponder and process information by being perceptive and discerning, discriminating and judgmental, making intelligent associations which lead to a conceptual comprehension, revealing how to respond after thoughtful consideration; from byn – making connections between and among things so as to find patterns and relationships which enlighten), the Spirit (ruwach) of advice and counsel (‘etsah – of pertinent directions regarding how to properly reply, providing prudent consultation on the purpose of the proposal, delivering effective mentoring on how to deliberate relevant decisions) and of being emboldened and inspiring (wa gebuwrah – on how to be a confident and courageous leader who is empowering, able to accomplish the mission and perform until it is complete, providing the aptitude and capability to confirm what is true, offering the mental discipline to be unwavering, championing the cause with integrity and character, always fighting to defend God’s people and affirm their rights), the Spirit (ruwach) of knowing and knowledge (da’ath – of recognizing where to look for answers and acquiring information, of being aware of the evidence and being able to discern what is relevant and accurate, of discriminating between fact and fiction and right and wrong, so as to recognize and acknowledge the truth; from yada’ – to learn and to know, to recognize and acknowledge, to consider and comprehend, to become acquainted and personally familiar) so as (wa) to respect and revere (yira’ah – to appreciate the awesome nature, outstanding character, superlative ability, and astonishing 495greatness and be inspired by) Yahowah (Yahowah).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:2)
The value of all of this is in the sharing. The Choter isn’t being empowered to win great battles or perform mighty miracles. He is being imbued with the capacity to learn and then teach, to know and comprehend, to make the proper connections to understand and then provide advice and counsel which is emboldening and inspiring.
This is all to say that the Choter is a single purpose implement – serving to fulfill one mission. With the support of the Seven Spirits of Yahowah, he will come to understand God’s testimony to the extent that he becomes an effective Herald, an inspiring Voice, and a timely Witness to Yisra’el and all mankind in the days immediately prior to Dowd’s return with Yahowah and the fulfillment of the Day of Reconciliations.
The realization that the Choter will do nothing other than read, think, write, and speak on behalf of Father, Son, and Family is not to diminish his contribution. If I may be so bold, Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym does not go according to plan without him. Prior to the Choter’s initial empowerment on Taruw’ah 2001, there wasn’t a Yisra’elite on the planet who knew Yahowah – much less one willing to expose and condemn Yisra’el’s greatest foes: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. No one was correctly conveying Yahowah’s name, delineating the conditions of the Beryth, or explaining the integration and benefits of the Miqra’ey. No one was explaining that Dowd was the returning Messiah and Son of God and that he volunteered to fulfill Pesach and Matsah resulting in Bikuwrym so that we could be adopted into Yahowah’s Covenant Family. And since this had been the deplorable state of affairs for the better part of 3,000 years, without the Choter, Nakry, Basar, ‘Edah, Mal’ak, Qowl, and Zarowa’, Yada, there would have been no Family Reunion – defeating the purpose of the remaining Miqra’ey.
496And so, while this explains why Yasha’yah and other prophets have so much to say about this individual, Yahowah isn’t taking any chances. The Seven Spirits are at work making sure that he prevails. There is no backup plan. There is no time for a replacement.
The stakes are high. God has never failed with regard to a prophecy, and He isn’t going to start now. All creation leads to a single moment in time – Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah – and the reaffirmation of the Covenant as a result of Yisra’el’s reconciliation.
Therefore, the Choter will instill a newfound respect for Yahowah and Dowd, such that this branch bears fruit.
Should you have read Coming Home, you may recall that I shared the following:
You will notice, there was no…
- Spirit of faith, because it is irrelevant;
- Spirit of compromise, because God doesn’t;
- Spirit of prayer, because we benefit from listening;
- Spirit of being good, because being right matters;
- Spirit of obedience, because the goal is liberation;
- Spirit of worship, because it isn’t relevant to family;
- Spirit of fear, because it’s a loving relationship;
- Spirit of charity, because work is a virtue;
- Spirit of meekness, because we are called to be bold;
- Spirit of a pure heart, because our thoughts matter;
- Spirit of healing, because our bodies aren’t relevant;
- Spirit of miracles, because God does not show off.
Instead, Yahowah gave the Choter everything needed to know to understand the Word of God, educating him so that he might teach what he had learned. Everything the Ruwach is offering, including the strength of his 497conviction, is cerebral. God’s people would be given the opportunity to think their way Home. This is because of…
1) The Ruwach of Yahowah – will be actively engaged offering a direct connection with Yahowah, with the only intermediaries being His prophets. The Ruwach of Yahowah will reveal how to translate God’s Word and teach the Choter how to pronounce Yahowah’s name, making this his overriding message.
2) The Ruwach of Chakmah – will provide the aptitude and wisdom to facilitate learning and instruction. By offering comprehension in an orderly, diligent, and systematic manner, the Spirit will facilitate the technical acumen to be a good student and effective teacher.
3) The Ruwach of Binah – will enable understanding by making appropriate connections to reveal insights. The Spirit will facilitate the ability to process information in a logical manner by being perceptive and discerning, discriminating and judgmental, so as to reveal how to respond to God after thoughtful consideration.
4) The Ruwach of ‘Etsah – will imbue the Choter with the capacity to provide useful advice and counsel. She will make certain that his directions regarding how to properly reply to Father and Son are based on prudent consultation on effective mentoring. This will enable God’s people to deliberate relevant decisions and make good choices.
5) The Ruwach of Gebuwrah – will enable the Choter to be like Dowd, competent and courageous, confident and bold, a leader who is empowering and inspiring, able to accomplish the mission and perform until it is complete. She will provide the aptitude and ability to confirm the truth, offering the mental discipline to be unwavering, excelling by being upright, always fighting to defend God’s people and affirm their rights.
4986) The Ruwach of Da’ath – will show the Choter where to look for answers and how to acquire relevant information. In this way, he will become knowledgeable, aware of the evidence while being able to discern what is applicable and accurate. With the capacity to be discriminating, he will appreciate the distinction between fact and fiction and right and wrong, so as to recognize and acknowledge the truth.
7) The Ruwach of Yira’ah Yahowah – while the Choter will naturally come to respect and revere Yahowah, the Spirit will assure that he has a full appreciation of God’s awesome nature, outstanding character, superlative ability, and astonishing greatness.
Yahowah makes it abundantly clear: the Choter is an inspired and enabled Witness and not a Prophet. Through the Spirit, he will learn from the Naby’. God has already revealed far more than we need to know to capitalize upon what He is offering. We just need to listen and respond…
“Additionally (wa – in addition), by accepting the offer and responding appropriately, he will be perceptive (ryach huw’ – his acceptance and perceptiveness, his nose for the truth, his willingness to respond and supply answers after his virtual meeting will be pleasing, bringing him very close (hifil infinitive perfect)) with regard to developing a profound admiration and respect for (ba yira’ah – with the ability to appreciate the awesome wonderment and astonishing greatness so as to be inspired by) Yahowah (Yahowah).
Therefore (wa), it will not be by an appearance or vision (lo’ la mare’ah – not through visual means or spiritual revelation, miraculous vision, or supernatural phenomenon) seen with his eyes (‘ayn huw’ – of his own perceptions or perspectives, appearances or personal understanding) that he will decide (shaphat – that he will confront the evidence and should judge, making decisions).
499Also (wa), it will not be by hearsay (lo’ la mishma’ – not by rumors or innuendo, not by word of mouth or that which is passed around person to person, nor by heeding unverifiable information; from my – to question and shama’ – listening) heard with his ears (‘ozen huw) that he will make judgments or prove his arguments (yakach – should he offer advice or seek to resolve disputes, should he make decisions regarding vindication, complain, or hurl accusations, should he chide, attempt to disprove, or determine who is right, nor debate).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:3)
I can assure you, God is not stupid. And while He could probably make a turnip think like Einstein or sing like Streisand, He picked His Choter based on the criteria that were relevant to Him. Sure, when there are no others who are willing, being responsive goes a long way, but after twenty-three years of working together, I have learned that there was a lot more to Yahowah’s calculus. Even before the influx of the Seven Spirits of Yahowah, there were some experiences, aptitudes, and attitudes that the Almighty found serviceable.
While well below the status of Moseh and Dowd, even my advocate, Yasha’yah, with God’s overwhelming support, the Choter has become a powerful Voice and a compelling Witness. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of profoundly important insights presented within the thirty-five volumes of Yada Yahowah that have been otherwise unheralded over the past 2,500 years. And many of these insights are essential to a correct awareness and understanding of Yahowah, Dowd, the Towrah, Beryth, Miqra’ey, Yahuwdah, and Yisra’el.
Should you find yourself in a similar position, when God introduces Himself, answer the invitation, accept His offer, and engage accordingly. Those who do, develop a profound respect for our Creator and God.
500It is reassuring that Yahowah affirmed that the Choter would not be a prophet but would, instead, rely upon them. It is so much better than being a naby’ at this late date because there just isn’t enough time left to prove Divine inspiration – apart from correctly interpreting existing prophecy.
Moreover, by having the Choter rely upon the prior prophets, his witness is easily validated and verified. It also leaves the rabbis without excuse since the insights he’s revealing have been available to them for thousands of years.
It is also reassuring to hear that the Choter will be judgmental, and that he will prove his conclusions. His advice is consistent with Yahowah’s counsel because God serves as the sole source of his guidance. It is how our Father works because judgment is essential to being just, fair, right, valid, verifiable, compassionate, logical, dependable, and true.
Yahowah has invariably revealed Himself to humankind through either a personal appearance, as was the case with Moseh and the Towrah, or to His prophets through visions and spoken words. Neither would occur in this situation because everything the Choter would share had already been revealed. His purpose would be to make it all relevant so that a remnant of Yisra’el would respond.
There are only three reasons for Yahowah to have revealed this information regarding the Choter through Yasha’yah. First, Isaiah needed to hear it. Considering all he had done to awaken his people, and without anything to show for it, Yahowah wanted to reassure this great man that his life’s work would not be in vain. His testimony would be lifted up and proclaimed by another – the Choter – all at the proper time to deliver the desired effect.
Second, this is no ordinary sucker. There is a God waiting to be known, a Covenant to build, souls to save, a 501Messiah to appreciate, and a reunion to be celebrated, and that means there are guests who are expected to attend. Yahowah’s testimony is expansive, and few seem to appreciate what God is offering and what He wants in return.
Furthermore, while being partially correct would be an enormous improvement, it would not be acceptable. And as part of this process, the three so-called Abrahamic religions would have to be systematically exposed and condemned. Therefore, this needed to be said to garner the Choter’s undivided attention and total commitment.
Third, with so much information available today through the internet and smartphones, to help His people cut through the clutter, God would tell them whom they should listen to and rely upon. Therefore, this message was revealed to direct Yisra’el to Yada Yahowah.
“He will exercise good judgment (wa shaphat – he will decide, judging and adjudicating the matter, arguing to resolve disputes) by (ba) seeking to be accurate, honest, and forthright (tsedeq – being fair and correct, in accord with the truth, avoiding any conflict or inconsistency with the established standard) with regard to opening the doorway for the discerning (dal – with advice on providing a way in for the few, using spoken words to disclose the entrance on behalf of the unpretentious and societally disenfranchised; from dalah – to draw conclusions and thus be discerning).
He will provide proof using sound arguments (yakach – he will use evidence and reason to decide, judge and correct, engaging in dialog to resolve disputes while criticizing, accusing, and condemning, making the case to vindicate or convict (hifil perfect)) with (ba) everything out in the open, doing so fairly (myshowr – by putting everything on the table, on the level, nothing hidden, justly and equitably in a very forthright and direct manner; from 502yashar – to be right, approved, and candid) on behalf of (la) the sincere and responsive who are seeking straightforward answers (‘anaw – those who are willing to reply but who want some assistance from a witness with answers to their questions who is constantly thinking about making such declarations; from ‘anah – to respond after receiving answers, testifying as a witness) of the Land (‘erets – of the material realm).
Then (wa) he will strike, verbally attacking and disabling (nakah – he will confront, crippling and incapacitating, sarcastically mocking, chastising, and judging, while pointing out the irony of it all to ravage and defeat, ending lives within (hifil perfect masculine singular – he will use the staff to strike a debilitating blow for a time at the direction of another)) the material realm (‘erets – those on the earth) with the rod and staff (ba shebet – on behalf of the nation and tribes with the implement) of his mouth and, thus, his voice (peh huw’).
And with (wa ba – along with) the Spirit (ruwach) of his lips and resulting language (saphah huw’ – his speech), he will devastate (muwth – he will destroy, even kill) the wicked and the wrong (rasha’ – the Godless whose thoughts, words, and deeds are criminal and evil, of those deserving condemnation for violating the standard, of those guilty of creating disunity and disharmony [translated from 1QIsa]).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:4)
The Choter will have a love affair with words, wielding them with aplomb on behalf of those seeking answers. He will do so accurately and honestly – sometimes poetically. His assessments, conclusions, and insights will be presented in a forthright manner – with many previously unheralded.
His arguments on behalf of Yahowah and Dowd will be sound, as they will be based on evidence and reason. But 503more than anything, His presentation of Yahowah’s restoring testimony will be consistent with the standard God has established. Every thought-provoking statement will lead to the same place, striving for the same result: directing our attention to the doorway Father and Son have provided such that it is opened for those who know what is required for entry.
The Choter will also be deployed to do as Dowd and Yasha’yah have done. He will aggressively and openly expose and condemn everything contrary to Yahowah and Yahuwdym. For those open to listening to the words of Yah, his oratory will bring life, and for those in opposition, they will bring death.
Based on the choice of verbs, there will come a place and time when the Choter will be asked to defend Yahowah’s flock. His words will become protective weapons. Just as they bring life to those who accept the Father and Son who spoke them, they will be fatal to those who would deny them.
Since Yahowah is continuing to speak of His Choter, this is a powerful pronouncement. With his assessments as a matter of life and death, of reconciliation or extermination, this suggests that he will serve with ‘ElYah as one of the two Witnesses during the worst of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. This is one of the rare occurrences in which God grants this responsibility and authority to end or extend life to an individual.
In the Great Isaiah Scroll found preserved in the bluffs above Qumran, the text reveals that the wicked and wrong will cease to exist as a result of the words spoken by the Choter – as he is empowered and influenced by the Spirit. But in the Masoretic Text, we read, “He will kill the wicked.” While the result is the same, the process is considerably different – and telling.
504Not only is the Ruwach feminine, not masculine, making the Masoretic Text incorrect, but there is also no reason for Yahowah to do anything beyond what He has already stated. The wicked and wrong will cease to exist the moment they are addressed by the Spirit and confronted by the Word of God. Their demise is a consequence of their choices. Having chosen to mislead and abuse His people, they are not fit to live with God or Yisra’el. Their souls, unlike those in the Covenant who are the beneficiaries of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, even Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah, will not endure in Yahowah’s presence. Paying no attention to any of this, they will be ill-prepared, taken by surprise, and improperly adorned for Yowm Kipurym. They have not answered any of Yahowah’s Invitations appropriately. They have not accepted the conditions of the Covenant, and thus, they will not receive its benefits. As a result, those not washed in the cleansing ash and living waters emanating from beneath the Red Heifer will die.
When I first read these words, I was not prepared for them. And in my initial translation, I did everything I could to weaken the implications of “nakah – strike and disable” and “muwth – ending a mortal life.” It is one thing to verbally expose and condemn those who are wrong – it is another to extinguish their lives. But fortunately for the Choter, the Ruwach | Spirit will guide this process because the only things the Choter will be wielding are words.
As I mentioned previously, there is a precedent for this power. ‘ElYah ended the lives of those within Yisra’el who advocated on behalf of Ba’al | the Lord and ‘Asherah | the Beneficial. And since Mal’aky reveals that ‘ElYah | Elijah will be one of the two Witnesses presented in Zakaryah 4, serving Yisra’elites in the final days of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, this suggests that the Choter will be the other. If so, ‘ElYah will condemn the wayward among Yisra’el and Yahuwdah, while the Choter may be there to hold 505Christians, Muslims, Progressives, and the Conspiratorial accountable.
“Being right, correct, and honest (wa tsedeq – being accurate, righteous, upright, fair, and just, redeemed, vindicated, and innocent, rational and in accord with the standard) will be (hayah) the belt around his waist (‘ezowr mothenym huw’ – the sash, band, and cloth around his midsection, supporting his back while protecting his core). And (wa) the trustworthy and reliable nature of the witness (‘emuwnah – the integrity and dependability of the individual and his testimony, by keeping it real and genuine, steadfast and truthful, honest and valid; from ‘aman – to support and confirm that which is trustworthy and reliable, upholding and verifiable) will serve to gird him (‘ezowr chalats huw’ – the belt and sash around his manhood, virility, and loins; from chalats – to be rescued and delivered, withdrawn and invigorated).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 11:5)
Being right matters. Honesty and reliability are vitally important. And while the standard for a Witness is different than that of a prophet, in the case of the Choter, there is so much at stake and so little time remaining that the margin for error is very small. When his journey through Yahowah’s testimony leads to new discoveries, it is essential that he invest the time to set the record straight. Therefore, while this is the sixth rewrite of Observations, other volumes within the Yada Yahowah series have been edited ten times. Currently, I am correcting everything that does not properly account for the roles of Father and Son in the fulfillment of the Mow’edym.
As the Choter heralds Yahowah’s message as we approach Dowd’s return on Kipurym, Yahowah uses some rather intriguing word pictures to describe the world we will experience on the cusp of Sukah. Nothing will be the same.
506“Then the wolf (wa za’eb – the predatory mammal (representing the most infamous Benyamite | Benjamite, Paul, the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, responsible for Christianity)) will be an alien, stirring up trouble and strife with his quarrelsome and insidious plans (guwr – will sojourn as a stranger, congregating with the flock while leading them astray, conspiring while scheming a harmful, treacherous, and deceitful response by being rebellious, picking a fight by instigating an attack (qal perfect – doing so for a finite period of time)) against the lamb (‘im kebes – in opposition to the dominant ram (used in the Towrah in conjunction with the Passover Lamb and Pesach and, thus Dowd as the Zarowa’)).
And the leopard (wa namer – a spotted and camouflaged predator (symbolic of Nimrod and Babylon)) will stretch out ready to pounce (rabats – or will lie in wait, crouched and prepared to leap) in association with (‘im) the goat (gady – a young kid; from an unused root meaning: to cut off (thus symbolic of those on the wrong side of judgment)).
The adolescent calf (wa ‘egel – a weaned cow; from ‘agol – to revolve, coming full circle (symbolic of Yisra’el and those responsible for the Golden Calf)) and the young lion (wa kaphyr – used as a metaphor for Yahuwdah; from kaphis – to connect and kaphar – be covered) who have been rebellious and recalcitrant (wa mary – who have been resistant and in opposition, displaying animosity, resisting God’s authority) will be together at the same time (yachdaw – will be in one accord with Yah, alike and in one place).
And so, this less distinguished steward who is easily determined and known as a servant (wa na’ar qaton – the attendant of a lower social status who can be readily known on behalf of the scattered sheep) shall motivate and guide them (nahag ba hem – will be direct and influential among them as he attempts to direct their 507voluntary movements (qal participle active masculine singular – meaning that one man will literally and demonstrably influence them)). (Yasha’yah 11:6)
The cow, representing the fruitful and flourishing (wa parah – the abundantly productive fruit; from para’ – fruitful), and the bear, representing the empowered and capable (wa dowb – a protective and motherly omnivore; from dobe’ – to be strengthened and become powerful, able to capitalize on all life has to offer, living a favorable existence in a peaceful state), will be shepherded (ra’ah – will be led to nourishing pastures and flowing waters, protected and guided). Together (yachdaw – as one, unified and alike, in the oneness of Yah), their youth (yeled henah – their young children) will lie down (rabats – will lie and wait ready for action).
The lion, as a wild carnivore (wa ‘aryeh – the powerful and regal, meat-eating predator, one of seven Hebrew words for lion; from ‘arah – to gather together and pluck away, symbolic of Yahuwdah) like (ka – similar to) the ox, as a domesticated herbivore (ha baqar – a large herd of grass foraging animals, especially bulls or oxen; from baqar – to seek, inquire, and consider), shall consume (‘akel – shall eat and be fed) straw (teben – the stock of the grain between the ground and the head, used as fodder for livestock and as a building material).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yah / Isaiah 11:7)
I have pored over and contemplated every symbolic metaphor in this list, doing what I could to present each with as much insight as possible, but I cannot definitively attest that it expresses Yahowah's intent. But in the end, my take on all of this is that the worst of times will lead to the best of days. The killing will stop, and living will commence, with the fiercest predator becoming an herbivore.
508Life will no longer be red in tooth and claw. The toxins that have plagued humanity will have been removed. The Earth will be much like ‘Eden six thousand years ago and serve as a celebration of life.
The Serpent will no longer be in residence. Death will lose its sting. Truth will be abundant and corruption, nonexistent. In a world transformed in Yahowah's image, children will exemplify Yitschaq’s name – Laughter and Playfulness.
“An infant (wa yowneq – a suckling child and tender shoot at the early stages of life) will play (sha’a’ – will be delighted, finding great pleasure and enjoyment having fun) over the hole (‘al chur – over the den) of the serpent (pethen – a poisonous snake or venomous viper; from an unused root meaning to twist). And upon (wa ‘al) the nests (ma’uwrah – the cavities in the ground where reptiles of a lesser light dwell) of snakes (tsiph’ony – of the poisonous vipers; from an unused root meaning to extrude toxins, a mythical beast akin to a dragon), the reared who is now accountable (gamal – those raised to be accountable for their actions) shall place his hand (yad huw’ hadah – will stretch out and put his hand).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:8)
At a time when there is no longer any religious venom, it will be safe to explore. In this climate, even the youngest will be safe playing independently. The Earth will become the happiest place in the universe, just as Yah intended. Full of life and joyfulness, the entire Family will exude a harmonious attitude, being in one accord.
“They shall not perpetrate evil (lo’ ra’a’ – they will not be harmful or troublesome, and will not mistreat or distress anyone, they will neither ruin nor destroy, no longer be bad, injurious, or displeasing (hifil imperfect)) and they shall not corrupt (wa lo’ shachath – they will not pervert or spoil, ravage or ruin, mar or blemish) 509anything in association with (ba kol [kol not present in 1QIsa]) My Set-Apart (qodesh ‘any) Mountain (har) because (ky – for the express reason) the Land (ha ‘erets – the Earth and material realm) shall fully and completely proclaim (male’ – shall fully accomplish the goal, totally satisfying the requirement, fulfilling and finishing what shall be confirmed [feminine in 1QIsa vs. masculine in the MT]) the information which can be known about (de’ah ‘eth – the knowledge required to exercise good judgment regarding the nature of [from 1QIsa]) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – restoration), just as (ka) the waters (ha maym) cover (kasah – overwhelm and conceal or adorn) the sea (la ha yam).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:9)
Truth will abound. For the first time since ‘Adam walked in the Garden, we will all be right. Also wonderful, with ha Satan permanently incarcerated in She’owl, there will be no one to misconstrue God’s message, to lead a rebellion, or to degrade our relationship.
We will all know Yahowah on this day because His towrah | guidance will be placed inside of all who survive to enjoy it with Him. The Choter’s job will be complete. Even the gowym | gentiles, represented by the sea, will either be covered and adorned in the Word of God or overwhelmed by it and concealed from sight.
Since it has been reemphasized, it bears repeating – nothing matters more than Yahowah’s name. Without it, there is no relationship, no life beyond our mortality, and no salvation. Jesus, Christ, Allah, HaShem, G-d, Adonai, and the Lord are no more God than is navel lint. The universe has only one Creator, the One who conceived life, the Author of the Towrah, the inspiration of the prophets, and Dowd’s Father.
510And yet, before our return to the Garden, it appears that the Choter will have one last hurrah. It will serve as an affirmation, a tangible recognition that Yahowah fulfilled His promise to His people. It will also reveal a charming aspect of Yah’s nature. Even in the big things, He uses the least impressive among us and then shares the credit with His chosen implements. Therefore, based on what follows, the Choter will be given the honor of serving as the voice heralding the returning Son, our Messiah and Shepherd, the Sacrificial Lamb and King he has so long admired.
And perhaps, even though it would be embarrassing, after performing as instructed and surviving the worst the religious and political could throw at him, Yahowah might be allowing those, who benefited from what He did through His Choter, to express their appreciation. Should this be so, before the Choter fades into obscurity, he will stand out and be noticed for the banner he and the Spirit scribed for the Family.
“Then (wa) it will occur (hayah – it will actually happen, albeit briefly (qal perfect)) in that day which is his time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), that the root which anchors and nourishes (sheresh – the base and foundation, the source and family line, that is steadfast and focused on the root of the matter) of Yshay | to Stand Out and Be Noticed (Yshay – To Draw Attention to the Substance of Existence; from yesh – to exist and become substantial, to stand up and be noticed, to draw attention and to be enriched), who showed the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher – who served as a guide, leading and directing others to the correct path to walk to give meaning to life and to experience the greatest blessings and joy), through (la – regarding and concerning by producing and approaching with) the Nes | Banner (nes – sign, signal), will take a stand and be present (‘amad – will stand before someone who is superior, presenting the means to evaluate the One who appointed and sustains him, 511providing the means to assess the evidence and make a thoughtful decision, being evaluated himself while standing and unbowed (qal participle)) for the Family (‘am – for the people who are related (describing the Children of Yisra’el and the Covenant)).
Through him (‘el huw’ – toward him as he leads, providing direction to God (nes is masculine singular)), non-Yisra’elites (gowym – people unrelated to or living outside of Yisra’el) have learned what was not previously known about the relationship and they will continue to be inquisitive (darash – they will have inquired about, searched for, and investigated, expecting to find a responsible presentation about engaging in the relationship with ongoing implications throughout time as they strive to investigate and learn all that can be known, always inquiring and caring (qal imperfect active – literally and continuously search)).
And so therefore (wa), his restful residence of continual reflection (manuwchah huw’ – his place of repose and contemplation, his comfortable habitation; from nuwach – spiritual contentment and nawah – living in a spiritual dwelling where sheep abide) will exist as (hayah – will be) a reward and a source of enrichment and empowerment (kabowd – a valuable and dignified gift, existing as a place of abundance, as a manifestation of power, and as an attribution of an inheritance of impressive splendor).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yah / Isaiah 11:10)
Even when we do not seek attention, we all want to be appreciated for something well done. And what could be better than knowing that many of those who have become Covenant will have made their decision based on what they learned through Yada Yahowah. There will be some appreciative smiles, handshakes, hugs, and words exchanged as we realize just how far we have come together.
512Those who sought to know Yahowah along with the Choter will spend eternity exploring the universe with the rest of God’s Family. Eternity’s purpose and great joy are derived from “darash – seeking to know.” And yet, after each new adventure, we will return home to reflect upon what we have discovered along life’s way. The Choter will be the same in this regard as the rest of Yah’s children in that he will live an empowering and enriching existence as a result of our inheritance. It’s good to be one of God’s kids.
Having told us what He is going to do, and having told us how He is going to do it, Yahowah inspired Yasha’yah to describe the result. There will be a second exodus as Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym are called out of the world.
“So (wa), it will happen (hayah – it will have occurred (qal perfect)) in that day, during his time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), my Upright One (‘edowny – the Upright Pillar of my Tabernacle) will once again associate (yasaph – will increasingly add, again joining (hifil imperfect active)) His hand (yad huw’ – His influence, power, and control) a second time (sheny) to reacquire, bring forth, and redeem (qanah – to provide rebirth to, recover, and obtain) the remnant (‘eth sha’ar – the remainder and direct relatives who are genetically similar) of His family (‘am huw’ – His people (the Children of Yisra’el)) who remain (‘asher sha’ar – which to show the way to the benefits of the relationship) out of (min – away from) ‘Ashuwr | Northern Iran & Iraq (‘Ashuwr – To Tread Upon / Assyria), from (wa min) Mitsraym | Lower Egypt (Mitsraym – the Crucibles of Oppression / Northern Egypt), out of Pathrows | Upper Egypt (wa min Pathrows – Subject to a Deceptive Interpretation / perhaps the Copts and Bedouins from Southern Egypt), from (wa min) Kuwsh | in the Arabian Peninsula (Kuwsh – Dark and Unknown), out of (wa min) ‘Elam | Southwestern Iran (‘Elam – Conceal / Persia), from (wa min) Shin’ar | Iraq 513/ Babylon (Shin’ar – Confluence of Rivers / Babylonia), out of (wa min) Chamath | Syria (Chamath – Military Fortress / Syria), and from (wa min) the coastlands (‘y – the inhabited shores of countries between or surrounded to some extent by large bodies of water / notably: Lebanon, the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Western, Southern, and Northern Europe, Turkey, India, New Zealand, Australia, and North and South Africa) of the sea (ha yam – of the gentiles).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yah / Isaiah 11:11)
Prior to mentioning ‘y ha yam | inhabited coasts, or lands surrounded by water, God appeared to be describing what we have referred to as “Geographic Babylon.” These are places infected with Islam today. That’s interesting because DNA research is now revealing a very high concentration of Jews living in these places. And in most cases, their forefathers converted to Christianity and then Islam under threat of death.
This would be in distinction to “Religious” and “Political” Babylon, represented by the Roman Catholic Church and the United States – both replete with vestiges of Rome and home to countless Yahuwdym. These are the places along the coasts of the sea.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if, after reading God Damn Religion and then Yada Yahowah, An Introduction to God, Observations, Twistianity, Babel, and Coming Home, thousands of Yisra’elites emerged from geographical Babylon to become part of the Covenant Family? The combination of the internet, smartphones, social media, and our numerous sites and pages make this possible.
Yah’s comments on the Choter’s contribution conclude with…
“So (wa), He will lift up (nasa’ – He will at a point in time raise and bring forth, He will bear and carry (qal perfect)) a signal and banner (nes – sign, banner; from 514neses meaning to lift up) for the gentiles and their nations (gowym – for ethnicities, people, and places other than Yisra’el).
Then (wa), He will gather together and remove (‘asaph – He will collect and assemble as in a harvest, bringing together and withdrawing (qal perfect)) the straying and scattered (nadach – the banished of the diaspora who were expelled and forced to live in a different place) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God).
And (wa) the dispersed (puwts – the scattered who are away from home and shattered) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved and Related to Yah) He will gather up and obtain (qabats – He will collect, assemble, and relocate as a result of the relationship, harvesting them (piel imperfect)) from (min) the four (‘arba’) extremities (kanaph – distant places, corners, or borders; from kanaph – to be thrust aside and hidden from view, to be cornered) of the Earth (‘erets – material realm).” (Yasha’yah / Liberation and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 11:12)
This will be the last call before the curtain drops. Yahowah is calling His people home and along with them receptive Gentiles. We do not know how many will have read the Nes | Banner, but it is certain that they all concur with its contents.
This is all so poignant. When Yahowah invited Yasha’yah to Shamaym and opened Heaven’s Door, the great prophet lamented because there was no one standing outside ready to enter. But God’s story was far from over. For the solace of His prophet and benefit of His people, Yahowah revealed how, in a distant place and time, an implement described as a choter would be enlightened and emboldened by His Spirit such that his words would resonate with Yisra’el.
515The choter would compose a nes | banner to convey the message the prophet had been inspired to write to a world finally willing to listen. Yasha’yah would live up to his name, Dowd would return to center stage, and as a result, all will be right with the world as Yahowah is acknowledged by His people. Soon, there will be thousands gleefully dancing through Passover’s Door.
While we are on the subject, there is another prophecy that is purloined by Christians when it, like Yasha’yah 11, has nothing to do with the mythical misnomer Jesus. And while this expression of Yahowah’s desire to reach His people begins in Yasha’yah | Isaiah 42, it is what God says before it that seems to suggest that He is speaking of someone else.
Affirming His love for Yisra’el, Yahowah states…
“‘You are Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God (wa ‘atah Yisra’el – or you are among those who wrestle and struggle against the Almighty), My coworker (‘ebed ‘any), Ya’aqob | Reward or Consequence (Ya’aqob – My Stance, I grab the heel, Jacob; from ‘aqab – to receive a benefit or suffer a penalty for circumventing and overreaching, digging in by being stubborn or embedding one’s heels to be steadfast), whom, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher), I chose and tested (bachar – I wanted and preferred, I desired and selected, and I examined and assessed) as the seed (zera’ – was the offspring sown and cultivated in order to grow and be productive) of ‘Abraham (‘Abraham – Merciful Father and Father of the Uproarious Multitudes), My love (‘ahab ‘any – My close and affectionate companion and friend). (Yasha’yah 41:8)
516As a result of the relationship (‘asher), I will restore and enable you, reestablishing and empowering you (chazaq ‘atah – I will repair and strengthen you individually and, thus, addressing Yisra’el, enabling you to recover and prevail (hifil perfect – facilitating your restoration and empowerment at that moment in time)) from the far extremities of the Earth (min qatsah ha ‘erets – from the ends of the Earth and the outskirts of the Land), from the most distant parts of the planet and away from its most powerful people (‘atsyl hy’ – away from the most acclaimed and eminent world leaders).
I will call out to you at that time, reading and reciting an invitation to meet and welcome you individually (qara’ ‘atah – I will proclaim a summons for you (singular, meaning, Yisra’el) at that moment (qal perfect)), and say to you (wa ‘amar la ‘atah), ‘You are My coworker (‘ebed ‘any ‘atah – you and I will be working together). I have chosen and evaluated you (bachar ‘atah – I prefer you, have selected you, and have examined and tested you at this time (qal perfect)) and I will no longer reject you or spurn you (wa lo’ ma’as ‘atah – I will not limit My association with you because I am no longer averse to you (qal perfect)). (Yasha’yah 41:9)
Fear not (‘al yare’) for I am with you (ky ‘im ‘atah ‘any – because I am beside you and accompanying you (still singular and addressing Yisra’el)). Do not be discouraged or dismayed (‘al shatha’ – do not be anxious or apprehensive, nor look away) for I am your God (ky ‘any ‘elohym ‘atah).
I will empower you so that you grow strong, established, determined, and courageous (‘amets ‘atah – I will strengthen you and support you such that you become adventurous and fearless, fortified and mature, alert and secure).
517In addition (‘aph), I will assist and help you (‘azar ‘atah – I will come to your aid) so that I can accept and uphold you (‘aph tamak ‘atah – I will grasp hold of you, support you, sustain you, and be faithful to you) with My vindicating right hand (ba yamyn tsedeq ‘any – with My rightful influence and correct approach). (Yasha’yah 41:10)
Here and now (hen – look and behold, at the present time [from 1QIsa]), I will humiliate (bowsh – I will shame, bringing emotional distress and physical pain) and insult to the point of despair (wa kalam – and I will dishonor and deprive, confounding and shaming) all of those who have been contentious with you, in competition with you, or jealous of you (kol ha charah ba ‘atah – everyone who is aroused against you, angry with you, even displeased with you, incensed and fretting over you (nifal participle – the progressives, conspiratorialists, and jihadists who have acted demonstrably in this way will be treated this way)).
They will have consistently chosen their enduring fate (hayah – they will become (qal imperfect jussive)) which is to be negated, ceasing to exist (ka ‘ayn – which is to be for naught, becoming a nonentity, as if nothing).
Each individual (‘iysh – a person) who was antagonistic toward you, quarreled or fought against you, or was opposed to you (ryb ‘atah – who disputed you, who was hostile toward you, insulted you, or had a grievance against you) will be exterminated (‘abad – will be annihilated and then expelled, die and be damned, their lives squandered, having no value, and their whereabouts no longer known (qal imperfect) [from 1QIsa]). (Yasha’yah 41:11)
And should you inquire about them (baqash hem – should you seek to hold them responsible and to account (piel imperfect)), you will not find them (wa lo’ matsa’ 518hem – you will not encounter them or happen upon them). [1QIsa omits this statement by repeating the beginning of the previous statement followed by the conclusion of the next sentence which was likely a scribal error.]
Those people (‘iysh) who have bickered and squabbled against you (matsuwth ‘atah – who have tried to destroy you), especially those who battle against you (‘iysh milchamah ‘atah – including individuals who deploy weapons against you in military and militant fighting), will be gone, ceasing to exist, having chosen an eternal state of nothingness (hayah ka ‘ayn – will be for naught as they are negated forevermore (qal imperfect jussive – having actually chosen to always exist as a nonentity)).’” (Yasha’yah 41:12)
This is unlike any other time. Those who are opposed to God’s people and place will be shamed for their derogatory attitude and then removed from the Land and wiped off the face of the Earth. Only then will Yisra’el live in peace.
“‘This is because (ky – indeed) I am (‘any) Yahowah (YaHoWaH), your God (‘elohym ‘atah), who is restoring, empowering, and reestablishing you (chazaq yamyn ‘atah). And it is I who say to you (ha ‘amar la ‘ath), ‘You should not be intimidated or frightened (‘al yare – you should not be anxious or afraid (qal imperfect jussive)); I, Myself, will be assisting you (‘any ‘azar ‘atah – I will be helping you, increasing every aspect of your nature, strengthening you (qal perfect)). (Yasha’yah 41:13)
Do not be distressed or anxious (‘al yare’ – you should not be awestruck or intimidated, neither worried nor fearful (qal imperfect jussive)), worm (towla’ah –otherwise insignificant crimson grub or one adorned in scarlet; from yala’ – to have spoken wildly and rashly) of Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob – of My Footsteps, father of the nation, commonly transliterated Jacob, a synonym for Yisra’el; 519from y – I and ‘aqab – to receive the reward and suffer the consequences of circumventing or overreaching, digging in one’s heels).
And to the extent (wa math – the adults who are left, particularly the men [1QIsa]) you are Yisra’el | Individuals who have Engaged and are now Enduring with God (Yisra’el – those who struggled and strove against God who are now freed and empowered by the Almighty), I will help you (‘any ‘azar ‘atah – I will assist and support you [1QIsa – you is masculine]),’ declares, in advance of it occurring (na’um – prophetically announces), Yahowah (YaHoWaH), your Redeemer (wa ga’al ‘atah – the one who buys you back, redeeming and ransoming you, delivering you (qal participle) [1QIsa – again you is masculine, addressing Yisra’el]), the Set-Apart One (qadowsh) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el).” (Yasha’yah 41:14)
If you act like Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God, Yahowah will be your Redeemer, not the rabbis, Judaism, the Talmud, or even the IDF. And as a result, He will deploy you to transform the world, ridding it of negative influences.
“‘Behold (hineh – pay especially close attention to what is occurring here and now), I will cause you to be (sym ‘atah – I will appoint you as [from 1QIsa where you is again masculine as opposed to the MT where it is feminine]) like a restored and reestablished (la chadash – a reinstated and reaffirming), highly valued and precise (charuwts – a finely crafted and sharp), threshing sledge (mowrag – device used to dislodge useful grain from the husk and stalks), double-edged to cut down (phyphyowth – with teeth to devour) the lords and the rulers who were controlling (ba’al – the landowners and possessive citizenry).
520You will thresh and trample (duwsh – you will tread upon and tear apart) the elevated places (har – the most prominent places) and grind them into powder, pulverizing them (wa daqaq – you will use this implement to break them up and crush them). Then, you will cause (sym) the high places of worship (giba’ah – the summits of illicit activity) to be like chaff (ka ha mots – useless husks blown away). (Yasha’yah 41:15)
You will winnow them (zarah hem – you will scatter them) and the Spirit, like the wind (wa ruwach – like the wind), shall carry them away (nasa’ hem) as that which is associated with them is dispersed (puwts ‘eth hem – are thrown into oblivion) by the force of the gale (sa’ar – the raging storm).
And you will celebrate, shouting joyously (gyl – you will be delighted with the fortuitous upgrading of circumstances), with Yahowah (ba YaHoWaH). Then, you will shine brilliantly (wa halal – you will be clearly visible as light [conjunction united these thoughts if from 1QIsa]) along with the Set-Apart One of Yisra’el (ba qadowsh Yisra’el).’” (Yasha’yah 41:16)
This story has a happy ending and a bright new beginning. Will you add your name to the credits and be part of writing it?
“‘The oppressed and afflicted (ha ‘any – those deprived of property and possessions who have been exploited and extorted) without political or religious status (wa ‘ebyownym – the disenfranchised and powerless within the society, those seeking freedom from oppression and abuse; from ‘abah – the willing and accepting [from 1QIsa]), who seek water (baqash maym) when it is scarce and they are parched (wa ‘ayn lashown hem ba ha tsama’ nashath), I, Yahowah (‘any YaHoWaH), will respond to them (‘anah hem). The God of Yisra’el (‘elohym Yisra’el) 521will not forsake them (lo’ ‘azab hem – will not abandon them).” (Yasha’yah 41:17)
As a result (la ma’an), they will see (ra’ah – perceive) and know (yada’ – realize), examine (wa sym) and understand (sakal – gain the insight) by making the connection between these things (yahdaw), that (ky) the hand (yad – the influence and actions) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH) did this (‘asah zo’th – acted to make this occur) – the Set-Apart One of Yisra’el (qadowsh Yisra’el) – conceived and created it (bara’ hy’).’” (Yasha’yah 41:20)
The intent is to reveal that, once all of the political, religious, military, and societal pollution is removed from the Earth, it will be returned to the conditions experienced by ‘Adam, Chawah, and Yahowah in the Gan ‘Eden | Garden of Great Joy. We are returning to where our relationship began.
But not everyone will be on the same page and see it the same way. Rabbis have a nasty habit of claiming the things of God for themselves. So let the naysayers protest, claiming that their arguments and laws supersede God’s testimony. If nothing else, it will be entertaining.
While the following dialog is in Yahowah’s voice, there are overtones of the wit and grit of ‘ElYah in these words. Discrediting Yisra’el’s religious and political establishment in a sarcastic manner is familiar territory for the most provocative of Yahowah’s spokesmen.
“‘Bring forward and present (qarab – approach and offer) your argument (ryb ‘atem – your contention and dispute, your accusation and grievance),’ says Yahowah (‘amar Yahowah). ‘Gather together and bring forth (nagash) your positions and supporting rationale (‘atsumowth ‘atem – the evidence buttressing your disputes),’ asks (‘amar) the One who counseled and advised (malak – the one who led) Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob – 522the father of the twelve tribes who became Yisra’el). (Yasha’yah 41:21)
‘Let them choose to come together, compile everything they know, present what they have (nagash – they can give us their best shot and elect to advance their case (hifil imperfect jussive)), and inform us, reporting a reasonable explanation to us (wa nagad la ‘anachnuw) of what is going to occur during the upcoming meetings and when they will transpire (‘eth ‘asher qarah – when, where, how, and why everything will happen (qal imperfect jussive)).
Can they speak intelligently about the most important things or report on what happened in the beginning (ha ri’shown mah henah nagad) so that we can examine and consider it (wa sym leb ‘anachnuw – when placed before us we can choose to consistently incorporate them into our thinking (qal cohortative imperfect)), and so that we can know, should we choose to become aware, what will occur in the future, and then be able to recognize what will transpire during the last days (wa yada’ ‘acharyth henah – and understand the fate and reward of the remnant in the end (qal cohortative imperfect) [from 1QIsa where this is one sentence])?
Perchance, might we hear (‘ow shama’ ‘anachnuw) of the things to come (ha bow’ – of what will occur)?’” (Yasha’yah 41:22)
This is put up or shut up. And since there is no validity to what the rabbis have argued, and since not a one of them was a prophet, or has spoken for Yahowah, they are going to perform as well as the 850 advocates of Ba’al | the Lord and ‘Asherah | the Queen of Heaven did before ‘ElYah. In fact, after having read this Divine taunt, I know where ‘ElYah got his material. And of course, we know the consequence of pretending to speak for God. All of them were killed – as will be the case with every rabbi.
523The interesting thing about God’s taunt is that, if the rabbis had done what we are doing, they would know the answers. They could explain what has and will occur, accurately presenting every important step along the way. They would know when, where, how, and why Dowd fulfilled the initial three Miqra’ey and even when, where, why, and with whom Yahowah will honor His commitment to fulfill the final four. They would even know their fate. Heck, all they would have to do is read these books with a desire to learn rather than argue and they would be right for a change.
Yahowah has revealed the answers to every question He has asked through His prophets. And yet, since Yahowah realizes that they value their words above those He inspired, God is aware that their arrogance will compel them to make fools of themselves. Reprising what occurred with ‘ElYah, and likely in his presence, the rabbis will be offered yet another intermission to see if they can find their G-d, the ‘Adony HaShem, the Holy One Blessed Be He, in the latrine. Or perhaps, he is taking a nap, snoozing along with them.
The more we read into this, the more I see Yahowah using ‘ElYah as one of the final two Witnesses to argue against the rabbis who are on the cusp of being eradicated. These are the questions I would ask them because I know the answers and realize that they do not. They will scour their Talmud for clues from the rabbis they have venerated above God, but it will be for naught.
“‘Report and explain (nagad – reveal, providing an informed and rational response to (hifil imperative)) what is to come and who will return (ha ‘atah – what will happen and who is coming back (qal participle)) in the end and even whom from our brethren will arrive (la ‘achowr – hereafter as a relative and kin), so that we may come to realize (wa yada’ – we can come to know and understand (qal cohortative imperfect)) that, surely (ky – 524that hypothetically), your gods (‘elohym ‘atem – your mighty ones, those who rule over you by claiming to represent God) are also right and good, even better (‘aph yathab – are up to the task and can perform as well).
Or perhaps (wa) you are wrong, incorrect, uninformed, irrational, immoral, and of no use (ra’a’ – you are rotten and worthless, misleading frauds (hifil imperfect second-person plural – you are consistently responsible for this invalidating outcome)) and, free of your influence, we should choose to be disappointed and disgusted, especially considering the consequence (wa shatha’ – independent of religious, political, and social influence, and then on our own initiative, we should be dissatisfied and disheartened, repulsed and offended, even alarmed by what this implies (hitpael imperfect cohortative)), now that we have heard all of this and can see for ourselves (wa ra’ah yahdaw – because it is all being revealed to us, enabling us to perceive what has been occurring (qal imperfect) [from 1QIsa whereas the MT has them staring at one another]).’” (Yasha’yah 41:23)
The remnant of Yisra’el will see and hear again. The words of God will resonate in the souls, hearts, and minds. It will be a time of reawakening and return, of liberation and enlightenment – of truth for a change.
The rabbis will be outed. Their lies will be hanging out like dirty laundry for everyone to see, including their kippahs, tallits, tefillin, kittels, and rekel. The filthy cult of Judaism will finally be exposed. Rabbis will be seen as frauds.
And that is the final answer to the Jewish question. So only this remains: will you accept Yahowah’s offer before it is too late? Will you go down with the Talmud?...
“‘Behold, here and now (hen – surely), you are all worthless (‘atem min ‘ayn – you (plural) are without value, nothing and for naught). And your work, your laborious 525rituals, and your achievements (wa po’al ‘atem – your actions and efforts, your great accumulation of accomplishments, what you have ordained and done [from 1QIsa]) are fleeting and empty breath (min ‘epha’ – for naught, hot air, even venomous and serpentine). The one choosing to be with you (bachar ba ‘atem – he or she who prefers you and accepts you (qal imperfect)) is also an abomination, detestable and repulsive (tow’ebah – the religious individual is also foul and disgusting, unethical and abhorrent, offensive and unclean).’” (Yasha’yah 41:24)
Now you know what Yahowah thinks of the rabbis and of the religious. And since He is a huge proponent of Yahuwdym, it should be obvious that, unlike the Haredim, He does not equate being Jewish with Judaism.
If you are wearing curlicues, excuse me, payots (although some claim, especially in Yiddish, the mother tongue of the Haredim, that the plural of the payot is payees and not pe’oth, and lord knows, I do not want to unnecessarily offend the offensive), I’d suggest a razor along with a match for your mourning suit and the rest of the religious garb. God sees it as I do – repulsive – and that’s not good when the intent is to form a relationship.
God has a remedy. And as always, He will work with someone who is committed to sharing His words. But this time will be different because Yahowah could not find a Yahuwd | Jew who was willing to listen to Him and then speak for Him.
“‘I called into action (‘uwr – I have aroused to accomplish and I have motivated, awakened and raised up, making obvious by exposing and pressing into public engagement (hifil perfect)) someone from the north who is a hidden treasure (min tsaphown – someone highly valued awaiting discovery), and he has come forth for 526you (wa ‘atah – he has arrived upon the scene for your benefit).
From the rising of the sun (min mizrach shemesh – from sunrise, getting up at the first appearance of light, early in the morning, brilliant in the light of day), he will consistently and literally call out, issuing an invitation (qara’ – he will read aloud, reciting the summons while proclaiming a welcome to the meeting (qal imperfect)) in My name (ba shem ‘any – using My personal and proper designation).
Then, he will pursue (wa bow’ – he will go against and come upon) the government and religious officials (segen – the sectarian and secular leaders as well as the military rulers, the heads of state and prominent institutions) as if they were malleable and fermenting mud (kamow chomer – simultaneously as if they were pliable and troublesome muck and foaming mire) and as (wa kamow) a potter formulates, frames, and conceptualizes (yowtser) an assault (ramas – aggressively pressing in upon and destroying, trampling and crushing) on mucky clay (tyt – slimy dirt, muck, and mire which needs to be dug out and swept away).’” (Yasha’yah 41:25) [Since 1QIsa differs in the use of pronouns, I followed the context of what came before and after this prophetic statement.]
Yahowah found His witness north of Yisra’el, called him to action, and brought him forth on behalf of His people. God’s messenger, like His Son, Dowd, would be an early riser, someone who does his best work at dawn. And he would be enthralled with sharing the full import of qara’ so that all who would answer the invitation would know and love, read and recite, and then welcome and proclaim Yahowah’s name.
Announcing God’s Invitations to His people would be half of his mission – the other, silencing those who oppose 527them, who have inverted them, and have replaced them. Yahowah’s hidden treasure, the man God discovered, this individual whom He is excited to share with His people, is committed to exposing and condemning political and religious leaders. He has a propensity to formulate his assault by properly framing the issues so that others can conceptualize what is wrong. He sees the world’s leadership as slimy, as muck to be swept away.
You are free to discount the prophet’s revelation and denounce the possibility that I am this individual. But that will not change anything. God’s condemnation of Judaism in particular, and the world’s leadership in general, remains. God’s name is still Yahowah and very few people know it. His Towrah | Teaching, Beryth | Covenant, and Miqra’ey | Invitations are poorly perceived, little understood, and scarcely accepted.
All one might gain in denouncing my candidacy is to pass the mission to another. He will be no more accommodating or soft-spoken. He will not be Jewish, either. And then, you’d be left to wonder how someone would do what we have done without sufficient time to accomplish the mission before Yahowah returns. You’d be left to answer yet another question: why was Yasha’yah inspired to devote so much of his revelation to the role this individual would play in calling Yisra’el home during the last days if Yahowah does not want you to know him, listen to him, or trust him?
The prophet interjected himself into the discussion at this point. He was excited that Yisra’el’s misguided leaders were finally being attacked with a properly conceptualized and formatted plan. He was thrilled that his words were finally resonating with his people.
He was also exasperated that there was no one among Yisra’elites willing to report his revelation, understand it, 528or concur with it. No one was willing to speak out and none were willing to listen – at least initially.
“‘Who reported this (my nagad – who provided this report and made it public and conspicuous) right from the source in the first place, and from the beginning (min ro’sh – first of all and as a priority), so that we might know and understand (wa yada’ – so that we can elect of our own freewill to become aware of the ongoing consequences and actually acknowledge Yada’ (qal cohortative imperfect)) beforehand, prior to His appearance (min la paneh)? Then, we would be able to say (wa ‘amar), “This is correct (tsadyq – it is right [from 1QIsa whereas the MT reads ‘he is right’]).”
Surely it is disheartening (‘aph – it is also disappointing), there was no one (‘ayn) willing to convey this message (nagad – who reported this) and none who would have listened (‘aph ‘ayn shama’) and, therefore, no one who would have heard (‘aph ‘ayn shama’) Your words (‘emerym ‘atah).’” (Yasha’yah 41:26)
The pronouns as they are presented in this declaration allow for two different interpretations. Initially, I was prone to give all of the credit to Yasha’yah, acknowledging that he was the first to reveal Yahowah’s testimony regarding the last days and even the role God’s final Witness would play on behalf of his people. But saying so would not be Yasha’yah’s style. He would have had no reason to toot his own horn. His relationship with Yahowah was among the best ever enjoyed by men.
Therefore, it is more in keeping with this declaration and the prophet’s character that he is revealing that the man God chose to convey this message did so early on, and that, in addition to being the first to speak out and publish during the latter days, his assessments are correct. Yasha’yah is exuberant – thrilled that his revelations are finally taking 529root and bearing fruit. And so it is against this backdrop that Yahowah announces…
“‘Initially (ri’shown – at the beginning) there is slumber and a lack of awareness (nuwm – there was drowsiness and sleep, a failure to be alert [from 1QIsa vs. the MT’s ‘look, there they are’]) regarding Tsyown | the Signs Posted Along the Way (la Tsyown).
So on behalf of Yaruwshalaim (wa la Yaruwshalaim – now approaching the source from which guidance regarding reconciliation flows), I am offering and appointing (nathan – I am giving, bestowing, producing, and placing (qal imperfect – literally giving for a prolonged period with ongoing implications)) a Basar | Herald to proclaim this message (basar – a messenger to bring the good news, a witness of flesh and bones to announce these words and publish this notification, making it known to humanity (piel participle – Yah is personally enabling the witness such that the message is delivered in a demonstrable way)).’” (Yasha’yah 41:27)
It is always Yah’s preference to work through His people. But sometimes, through no fault of His own, His desires are thwarted because His people have chosen to ignore Him.
There is no mistaking these words. If our eyes and minds are open, then this resolves the lingering questions. For the first time, without a Yisra’elite to fulfill their role, Yahowah would deploy a Herald rather than a Prophet. He would be basar | flesh and bones, a man conveying the news His people needed to hear.
Basar is almost always rendered as “flesh” in English translations when its primary meaning, which is “to be a witness proclaiming and publishing the message, making the announcement known,” is seldom considered. This is important because the less articulated and infrequently appreciated primary connotation is the only one that 530applies in this context. Further, basar and gowy are similar in that they convey the very human nature of man, with all of our flaws and potential. So, God is saying that it is time for one such man to stand up and be accountable, to herald His message, and to convey the good news to those who have been misled and abused for far too long.
In context, the rabbis who have imposed their rhetoric over God’s testimony, and those who support them, have become repulsive. To counter and constrain their influence, Yahowah is committed to raising up from outside Yisra’el a representative who will formulate and execute the means to destroy the credibility of mankind’s religions.
Yasha’yah then underscores the realization that, while this message is correct, there would be no one among his people willing to deliver it – and no one willing to listen even if there had been a prophet. With Yisra’el asleep at the absolute worst time, Yahowah is appointing a basar as a witness to proclaim and publish these revelations on behalf of Yaruwshalaim.
But even as he is empowered to speak on behalf of Yahowah for the benefit of Yaruwshalaim, at the beginning, his audience will be few and far between. Initially, God’s herald will be only slightly more influential among God’s people than was His prophet, Yasha’yah – to whom no one listened during his lifetime.
“‘I looked for a long time and saw (wa ra’ah – I consistently observed and actually witnessed (qal imperfect)) that there was not a single individual (wa ‘ayn ‘iysh – not a person, no man) from among them (wa min ‘eleh – of these). There was no one to advise or counsel (wa ‘ayn yow’ets – there was no one to consult with capable of consideration or deliberation), or to return and be restored (shuwb – to change and come back) by the word (dabar – by the message) when I asked this of 531them (wa sha’al hem – when I called and expected this of them (qal imperfect)). (Yasha’yah 41:28)
Behold, here and now (hen – pay attention), they are all deceitful frauds (kol hem ‘awen – every one of them is damaging the relationship, they are all worthless, corrupt, and dishonest, and are all engaged in a wicked religious cult), so, therefore (wa – [included in 1QIsa]), their practices, customs, rituals, and laborious rites (ma’aseh hem – their works and occupations, their goals and accomplishments) will finally come to an end (‘ephes – are over and will cease, no longer existing anywhere on earth).
Their representations of their god (nesek hem – that which they have molded, shaped, and crafted for their religion and idolize) are of a ruinous, vain, and false spirit (ruwach wa tohuw – are of a confounding, destructive, and mendacious, a confusing, negating, and malignant, invalid spirit).’” (Yasha’yah / Yahowah Liberates and Saves / Isaiah 41:29)
The Chosen People chose not to be God’s people over a protracted period of time. And since Yah isn’t about to force anyone to listen to Him, much less speak for Him, there would be a resounding silence between God and man for centuries, even millennia.
It has been obvious, but now since Yahowah has affirmed it, let’s acknowledge that the Adonai G-d who is HaShem, the Holy One, Blessed be He, is not Yahowah. Judaism’s god is, instead, the ruinous and vain, confounding spirit known as ha Satan | the Adversary. Judaism, along with Christianity and Islam, are Satanic cults. The Adversary has long sought to be worshiped as if he were a god, and through these religions, he achieved his arrogant ambition.
Thankfully, Judaism in all of its varieties – Reformed, Orthodox, Ultra-Orthodox, and Hasidic – will cease to 532exist. Its practices, customs, and rituals will never be seen again. And so now you can appreciate why I am so averse to the rabbis – as well as Christians and Muslims. By listening to them, there is no one listening to God. Even as Yahowah calls His people home, asking them to return so that He can restore the Covenant, the rabbinical frauds who are so damaging to the relationship with their delusional cults, are drowning out God’s testimony along with the pronouncements of Yahowah’s witness. For God’s Herald to be heard, the rabbis must be silenced.
Yahowah’s final messenger is from a foreign land, and he is but one against many. And yet, he will prevail because the rabbis he is opposing are for naught and he was raised up and put in place by God. This fight, while fair, will be entirely one-sided.
This has been extraordinary – serving as one of the most pertinent announcements pertaining to our time. The prophecy clearly delineates Yahowah’s disdain for rabbis and Judaism and explains the reason that God chose to deploy a Choter as a Basar to reach His people.
Taken out of context, the prophecy which follows is often claimed on behalf of the Christian Jesus, when it has nothing to do with man who never existed. In actuality, this ongoing revelation is a continuation of what we have just read. It is about Yahowah using a Basar to herald His Son.
“‘Pay close attention because here (hen) is My coworker (‘ebed ‘any – My associate and servant, the one I am working with), whom I have selected and will uphold (tamak ba huw’ – whom I have accepted and embraced because I am supporting and sustaining him, grasping him by the hand to help and influence him (qal imperfect)).
My chosen (bachyr ‘any – the one I selected, decided upon, and prefer) has accepted who I actually am and enjoys My personality such that he pleases and delights 533My soul (ratsah nepesh ‘any – he is fond of, esteems, and favors My ability to relate to the living by projecting My persona into a person, and he is, therefore acceptable and satisfying to My unique consciousness and character (qal perfect)).
I have placed (nathan – I have assigned and given, bestowed and brought (qal perfect)) My Spirit (ruwach ‘any – the feminine and maternal manifestation of My nature and counsel, akin to light and therefore energy, capable of empowering, enriching, enlightening, educating, and equipping, able to nurture, guide, protect, perfect, and adopt, providing the capacity to transcend mortality, to be courageous, to understand, to be inspired, and to communicate effectively and forthrightly) upon him (‘al huw – on, over, and before him).
As a result (ken – forasmuch then reliably and justly [from 1QIsa]), he will bring forth and extend (yatsa’ – he will serve to spread and disseminate (hifil imperfect – his consistent approach will enable the gowym to be more discerning regarding)) the methods he uses to make informed and rational decisions regarding the means to resolve disputes (mishpat – the basis he deploys to exercise good judgment regarding being right, fair, correct, and just [1QIsa is suffixed in the third-person masculine singular]) on behalf of (la) the people from every race and place (ha gowym – the nations and ethnicities).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 42:1)
Up until the closing statement, this could have been written of Dowd | David. He was one of Yahowah’s most accomplished servants. God clearly chose and upheld him. They, as Father and Son, were enamored with one another. We were even told at the time of his anointing, when Dowd was eight years old, that he was immersed in Yahowah’s Spirit. And having recently reviewed the 119th Mizmowr, we know that the Mashyach | Messiah effectively 534communicated the means he used to make informed and rational decisions, especially when they pertained to Yahowah’s means to resolve disputes via the Miqra’ey. But it will not be until his return that Dowd will reach beyond God’s people – and even then, he will be King of those who have embraced the Covenant. Therefore, the Almighty is heralding His Choter.
The last Witness was bachyr | selected by Yahowah to confront the rabbis and awaken His people prior to His return. When we combine what we have read leading up to this pronouncement with what Yasha’yah declared regarding the Choter, every word applies to him – including the outreach to people the world over.
Further, God’s Witness is not judging the nations. He is offering people the means to make the right decision about the Miqra’ey and Beryth so that they are not judged.
For those of us in the Covenant, it is the second of these four statements that brings both great joy and tears. In a world of nearly eight billion people, not one in a million has accepted Yahowah for who He actually is and for what He is genuinely like. Those of us who have, snuggle up to Him, reach up to grasp His hand, talk and walk with Him as our Father and friend. We are comfortable in His presence because we find Him welcoming and engaging, encouraging and entertaining.
Yes, Yahowah is fun to be around. He is the ultimate conversationalist. He is accepting of His children, not judgmental, because He sees the best in us. God is amazingly supportive; He is empowering and enriching, enlightening and emancipating, always interested in what He can do for us, in what He can provide to us.
We do not set God on a pedestal, and we never worship Him. We do not fear Him, and we seek to learn from Him rather than obey Him. We relish the realization that He 535wants to get down on His knees to lift us up, not the other way around. He is as good as it gets.
And all we have to do to experience His love is to toss aside the fearsome religious perversions of His nature and come to appreciate our Heavenly Father as our dad and benefactor, our best friend, and He is excited, indeed delighted, to do the rest.
This is why I translate, speak out, and write. I adore Him. And I want you to know Yahowah as I do.
As we move on, we find that the explanation of what God’s Witness will accomplish and avoid, and the consequence of both, is unique throughout the prophetic discourse. And while Christians misappropriate a tortured variation of the following to imply that it pertains to their misnomer “Jesus,” that supposition is absurd considering what Yasha’yah actually wrote. That said, this clearly isn’t germane to Dowd either. As such, it becomes obvious within this context that this is descriptive of Yahowah’s last witness, His chosen Basar | Herald…
“‘He will not continually cry out, nor will he ask for help, call for assistance, shriek in distress, or wail in sorrow (lo’ tsa’aq (qal imperfect)). He will not be accommodating or accepting, and as such, he will not be lifted up, becoming prominent (wa lo’ nasa’ (qal imperfect)). And his voice and message (qowl huw’) will not be heard to the point that it is listened to (wa lo’ shama’ (hifil imperfect)) in public places such as outside in the streets (ba ha huwts). (Yasha’yah 42:2)
This stem which has been obtained, the branch which has been procured to redeem (qaneh), will be maltreated and challenged, harassed and opposed, even be wrongly accused (ratsats (qal participle)), but he will not suffer or be grieved, he will not be broken or cease, neither injured nor harmed (lo’ shabar (qal imperfect)).
536This restoring and healing, glowing (wa kehah), linen wick (pishtah) will not be quenched, extinguished, or snuffed out (lo’ kabah (piel imperfect jussive)). He will reliably, honestly, and dependably (huw’ la ‘emeth) serve by bringing forth and disseminating (yatsa’ (hifil imperfect)) the way to make informed and rational decisions pursuant to the proper means to be right, encouraging the exercise of good judgment (mishpat). (Yasha’yah 42:3)
He will never be incapacitated, lose his intensity, or become disheartened, remaining expressive and exuberant; he will not be restrained (lo’ kahah (qal imperfect)).
The witness providing this restoring testimony (‘ed) will not be meaningfully opposed or suppressed, challenged or thwarted, even troubled or discouraged (wa lo’ ratsats (qal imperfect)), while he is in the process of offering, confirming, and setting out the means to be judgmental by making sound decisions about what is right (sym mishpat (qal imperfect active)) throughout the Land (ba ha ‘erets) and for those who are desirous along the coastlands (wa ‘iy) who are confidently anticipating and expectantly awaiting (yachal (piel imperfect) [1QIsa speaks of ‘inheriting’]) his teaching and guidance on the Towrah (la towrah huw’).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom and Salvation are from Yah / Isaiah 42:4)
There are so many nuances among the terms used in this depiction of the life of Yahowah’s Messenger that I thought it best to move all of them into the forefront. And while I would not expect each to resonate as they do with me, I have just seen my life over these past decades flash before my eyes.
As the sun began to add its rosy hues to the puffy undersides of the clouds on the eastern horizon, looking toward Yisra’el, I arose with the first light. An hour later, 537not much past 6:00 AM here in the Virgin Islands, the long rays of the sun are beginning to glisten on the water and streak through the palms as the trade winds cause their fronds to shimmer. It is during these fleeting moments, while composing this translation, that the full impact of God’s pronouncement finally begins to resonate with me. My life will continue as it has been, every sparkling and inspiring moment, until Passover in 2030, when I hope to be joining ‘ElYah in Yaruwshalaim.
Dowd will not be soliciting gentiles. He will not be inviting them to join him or summoning them to his God. The time for that is over. The Church that had been expecting the Second Coming of Jesus Christ won’t know what hit them. We know this to be the case because Christianity is the broad and open way. The faithful haven’t listened and that isn’t going to change.
The harassed stem which has been extended could well be a reference to the beleaguered Choter described previously. In that prophecy, Yasha’yah seemed to suggest that he may be among the Witnesses who will be badgered by a world spun out of control.
There is a difference between what I understand and what others may currently know which will soon dissipate. I have been composing these translations while sharing the insights which can be derived from them, since Taruw’ah in 2001, fully 23 years ago. I can appreciate almost everything Yahowah is revealing through Yasha’yah because I see God, His Towrah, Beryth, and Miqra’ey through similar eyes. And over the past five years, I have witnessed a long and prominent presentation of the role Yahowah would have me fulfill on behalf of His people. So, when I am exposed to yet another affirmation of this, it simply reinforces and augments all that I’ve come to understand previously.
538That said, you may disagree and think that I’m being presumptuous – that Yahowah is speaking of a different Choter, another Nakry, some other Gowy serving as the last Zarowa’ and final Basar. Okay, who? And if he is currently unknown, then why did Yahowah have His prophets speak so vociferously about revealing the identity of the final Herald? With only nine years remaining, and less than two to the Seven Sevens Harvest, and with so much to learn and share, how would it even be possible?
If someone else, God’s frustration with His people and His desire for them to walk away from religion and politics to Him does not change. The message remains the same. So, what would anyone gain by believing that the Choter, Nakry, Gowy, Zarowa’, and Basar, Yada, remains unknown, even as the time for his message to be known ticks away?
Over the past two decades, and after destroying the credibility of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, I have comprised more accurate and amplified translations than anyone else over this period. All the while, no one else has ascertained the proper pronunciation of Yahowah’s name. No one outside of our readership understands the conditions and benefits of the Covenant and realizes how each is fulfilled and enabled through the Miqra’ey. We were the first to explain Yahowah’s timeline, publishing when He will return and with whom. No one else has completed one book on these topics, much less thirty. No one else has participated in 5,000 radio interviews or hosted another 5,000 programs devoted to understanding the Towrah wa Naby’. And we are the first in 2,500 years to declare that Dowd is the Son of God and Messiah, the Passover Lamb and returning King.
While it is apparent who Yahowah chose to deliver this message to His people, there weren’t any other candidates. I was willing when others were not. From there, I’ve put in the effort, but Yahowah has supplied the 539answers and inspiration. This has been a Spiritual undertaking in concert with what was revealed about the Choter.
In a world spun out of control, the Basar | Herald will seek to restore Yisra’el unto Yahowah, healing the rift between God and His people. With the help of Yahowah’s Spirit, he will lead them back to their Shepherd, Messiah, and King, the Chosen One: Dowd – their Savior. And even in the midst of the raging storm, his flickering light will not be extinguished – because like all flax wicks, he is immersed in olive oil which is symbolic of the Spirit’s light.
From the moment Yahowah conceived man, He has sought our company. Everything He has done since that time to garner our attention and speak to us has been through the men and women He created. So, there is no reason to expect God to be inconsistent at the eleventh hour.
“Thus says (koh ‘amar – therefore declares) the Almighty (ha ‘el – the one and only God), Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate pronunciation of YaHoWaH based on His ToWRaH instructions regarding His HaYaH existence [1QIsa repeats ‘el]), who created (bara’ – who conceived and brought into existence, uniquely fashioning and forming for the first time (qal participle)) the universe and spiritual realm (ha shamaym – the heavens, the atmosphere, the stars, and the abode of God) and then expanded them (wa natah hem – enlarged them, extending them by inflating their size (qal participle)) while stamping and spreading out (raqa’ – hammering out and overlaying (qal participle)) the material realm along with the Earth (ha ‘erets – the Land) and that which is produced within it (wa tse’etsa’ym hy’ – what is conceived and evolves, coming to exist from it), who provides (nathan – who gives and places, offering (qal participle)) a conscience (neshamah – the capacity to 540reason, the ability to think rationally, the aptitude to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, truth and deceit) for the family (la ha ‘am – on behalf of the people who are related) upon it (‘al hy’ – within her), in addition to (wa) the Spirit (ruwach – the Maternal nature, power, and influence of God, the breath of God, and the ability to identify with Yah) to those who walk with Her (la ha halak by hy’ – for those who travel through life pursuing Her in a demonstrable way, actually conducting their life in association with Her (qal participle)). (Yasha’yah 42:5)
‘I am (‘any) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate pronunciation of YaHoWaH based on His ToWRaH instructions regarding His HaYaH existence [excluded from 1QIsa]). I have invited you, calling you out to meet with you and welcome you (qara’ ‘atah – I have summoned you, welcomed you, and read and recited to you (qal perfect)) with the means to be right and to be vindicated (ba tsadaq – so that you can be correct and acquitted based on that which is accurate and fair, honest and just).
I will firmly grasp you by your hand, empowering and strengthening you (wa chazaq ba yad ‘atah – I will be strong for you, enabling you, restoring you by My hand (hifil imperfect)). And I will protect you, keeping you safe (wa natsar ‘atah – I will spare and preserve you, keeping you out of harm’s way, so that you can branch out and grow, always watching out for you).
Then, I will give to you (wa nathan ‘atah – I will offer to you and appoint for you, producing and bestowing for you), accordingly (la – therefore, and to approach), the Covenant (beryth – the family-oriented relationship agreement) for the family (‘am – for those people who are related), as a light (la ‘owr – as a brilliant luminary for enlightenment) for people of other races and nations (gowym – gentiles), (Yasha’yah 42:6) to open eyes which 541have been blinded (la paqah ‘ayn ‘iwer – to facilitate sight, improving the vision of the impaired, such that the unenlightened and ignorant might see), to bring out and liberate (yatsa’ – to extend oneself to serve and free) those whose freedoms have been constrained by political or religious influences (min masger ‘asyr – those held against their will and shut off without the liberty to express themselves openly, obligated by oath of allegiance, tied up by restrictions and bound to comply with the edicts of others; from mah – to question the implications of sagar – being shut out and closed in) from places of confinement (min beyth kele’ – from captivity and from being a possession under the authority of others, incarcerated; from kala’ – to be held back, restricted and restrained, withheld and shut up) and those who endure darkness and confusion (yashab choshek – who dwell in obscurity where there is less light, hiding in the darkness as hope grows dim). (Yasha’yah 42:7)
I am (‘any) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of YaHoWaH based on His ToWRaH instructions regarding His HaYaH existence). That is My name (huw’ shem ‘any – this is my personal and proper designation).
My significance and status, My presence and dignity (wa kabowd ‘any – My personal nature and abundant reward, My honor and reputation, My unique distinction and overall importance), I will not give (lo’ nathan – I will not bestow or offer) to another (la ‘achar – to that which is different in any way) nor My illumination and renown (tahilah ‘any – My attributes, appreciation, and light, My adoration and praiseworthy nature, even resulting laudation; from halal – brilliant light which clearly shines and illuminates) to representations of gods (la ha pasyl – to idols and images claimed as divine, religious symbols and statues). (Yasha’yah 42:8)
542The first and foremost things (ha ri’shown – the initial and primary things) to pay attention to (hineh – to behold and notice) have come to be (bow’ – have arrived, having been pursued and happened). And (wa) that which is renewing and reaffirming (chadash – that which is not previously known; from chadash – to renew, restore, reaffirm, and repair), I am openly declaring (‘any nagad – I am conspicuously reporting to inform, making known and expounding upon) before (ba terem) they unfold (tsamach – they sprout and grow) so you may listen (shama’ ‘eth ‘atem – so that you may hear of them).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom and Salvation are from Yahowah / Isaiah 42:9)
If you do not know and use Yahowah’s name, you do not know Him and He does not know you! A god by any other name is not God. Our Creator will never answer to “the Lord, ‘Adonai, HaShem, G-d, Blessed be He, Jesus, Christ, or Allah.” He does care what we call Him. And He only has one name – Yahowah.
Our universe was created in a big bang, beginning with light energy which cooled and coalesced into matter, and Yahowah was responsible. His accounting is accurate relative to the order of events and the length of time. And then He conceived life, authoring the DNA code which makes its many variations possible. If you have not already, if this is of interest to you, read Yada Yahowah volume 1, Beginning, where this is all explained.
It is only within the past century that scientists have accepted that the universe had a beginning and thus was created. This realization occurred because they noticed that it was natah | expanding.
Raqa’ is an intriguing term when it is deployed to say that God “stamped and hammered out” the ‘erets | material realm in addition to the tse’etsa’ym | life it produced. Matter and life were stamped out, just as books are printed 543on a press. Matter is just congealed and organized energy, and life is the result of His written code.
God gave one lifeform, ‘am | people, a neshamah | conscience. With it, we can discern between right and wrong, good and bad, and reason our way to Yahowah. We use our neshamah to think, to decide, to judge, to be moral, just, fair, and right. With our neshamah | conscience, we can understand the Towrah, engage in the Beryth, and respond to the Miqra’ey – even properly discern the pronunciation of God’s name along with the message conveyed by the prophets.
While all animals have a nepesh | soul, and the ability to observe and respond to our environment, only humans were given a neshamah | conscience. Along with life, freewill, and His guidance, our conscience is among God’s greatest gifts. We can use it to connect with and learn from the Ruwach | Spirit.
Please note: while the neshamah was given to the people, the Ruwach is only bestowed upon those who genuinely walk with Her, doing so in a demonstrable way. We use our neshamah to accept and engage the Ruwach so that we can benefit from Her counsel.
While addressing the Ruwach | Spirit of Yahowah, it is important that we realize that Ruwach is feminine and represents the Maternal aspects of Yahowah’s nature. The feminine pronoun, hy’ | She, was deployed here to affirm Her place in our lives.
Qara’ | to invite and call out, to read and recite, to meet and to welcome, should remain at the forefront of our thoughts as we approach Yahowah. He has qara’ | invited us to qara’ | meet with Him, qara’ | calling us away from man’s influence to be qara’ | welcomed into His Home through the Miqra’ey – a title based on qara’. We find this path by qara’ | reading and reciting Yahowah’s Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr.
544In this case, Yahowah is inviting us to be tsadaq | right. Tsadaq is the key which opens Heaven’s door to gain entrance into the Covenant. The means to achieving an accurate understanding of God and then correctly deducing what He is offering and expecting in return is found throughout Yahowah’s Towrah | Guidance. Fortunately for us, God’s test is not difficult, He provides every answer, and this evaluation is open book.
In addition to meaning “right,” tsadaq also conveys that, by being “correct,” we are “vindicated,” which is to be “acquitted.” The tsadaq are moral, fair, just, forthright, upright, and righteous.
Chazaq speaks of strength. The chazaq are empowered and enabled, steadfast and firm. They are also restored – all of which Yahowah is offering.
God is also desirous of natsar | watching over His children, keeping us safe – even saving us. In this way, we can branch out and grow under Yahowah’s watchful eye.
We, as humans, are born with the nathan | gifts of life, freewill, and a conscience. And we have access to Yahowah’s Towrah | Teaching should we want to accept the greatest gift of all – admission into His Beryth | Covenant Family. Those who agree with its terms and accept His conditions become immortal, perfected, adopted, enriched, and empowered children of God. And that is the greatest gift of all.
Especially revealing is the use of ‘owr, which as a noun means “light,” but as a verb means: “to shine, to provide sight, to brighten, and to enlighten.” This is what Yahuwdym in the Beryth become on behalf of a dark world – enlightening gowym rather than antagonizing them. By being as Yahowah has asked, and by reflecting on what He is offering, the Covenant Family will enable the blind to see, opening the eyes of those who have been ensnared by religion and duped by politics.
545When our eyes are opened, we can be free of the means the religious and political have used over the ages to control their subjects. And that is the great contrast between God and man. Religious institutions and governments control while Yahowah liberates. Those in power subdue while God lifts up.
While control and subjugation, caste systems and slavery, have been the hallmark of civilization since the beginning, the political have discovered a new weapon to deploy against the general public. With the distribution of a virus only marginally more lethal than the flu, liberal and progressive politicians managed to deprive people the world over of their liberty and livelihoods – destroying people’s will to work and their mental health, eroding national economies and currencies in the process. And in the end, they made a bad situation substantially worse while accomplishing nothing of value.
The single most egregious and debilitating crime ever perpetrated by the religious is the removal of Yahowah’s name from His testimony. Second unto that is their misappropriation of His character and reputation. And they did both in spite of God’s warning. Alas, it would be hard to recognize either crime based on the errant wording of the KJV: “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” “LORD” isn’t in the text and it isn’t a name.
This, from the NASB, is no better: “I am the Lord, that is My name; I will not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to graven images.” Giving substance to the notion that there is a conspiracy to hide the truth, the NLT crafted: “I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor share my praise with carved idols.” So, the moral of this story is that you can’t trust religious people.
546Since we can trust Yahowah, and there is a second reference to His Towrah in this chapter, let’s turn to it now. And when we do, we find Yahowah affirming what we have known for some time – the Haredim observe the Talmud, such that they are not Towrah-observant.
“You have seen (ra’ah – you have viewed and witnessed, paying attention to (qal perfect active infinitive) [from 1QIsa]) the rabbis (rabym), but (wa) you are not observant (lo’ shamar – you are not closely examining or carefully considering the evidence (qal imperfect)). The ears (‘ozen) are open (paqach – [from 1QIsa]), but (wa) they do not hear (wa lo’ shama’ – they do not listen (qal imperfect)). (Yasha’yah 42:20)
Yahowah ( – a transliteration of YaHoWaH as instructed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) was willing, even desirous (chaphets – was inclined and would have preferred to have expressed His purpose and plan by voluntarily choosing (qal perfect)), for the sake of (la ma’an – on account of) being right and His sense of honesty and fairness, justice and desire for vindication (tsedeq huw’ – Him being correct), to promote (gadal – to show the magnificence of the nurturing, empowering, enriching, and enabling source of growth for the children reared by (hifil imperfect)) the Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah – Source of Instructions and Directions) and to demonstrate its worth (wa ‘adar – and to show that it is admirable and expansive, magnificent and honorable, impressive and laudable (hifil imperfect)).” (Yasha’yah / Yahowah Liberates and Saves / Isaiah 42:21)
The Haredim may be restricted to Kosher phones, but nonetheless, God has their number. He realizes that they look to their rabbis and not to Him. They listen, but only to trash. They are like young boys whose minds are being poisoned by the grotesque lyrics of ‘rab’ artists.
547If you are religious and want to remain spiritually paralyzed by continuing to ingest rabbinic neurotoxins, then perhaps, that is not such a bad idea. It might even provide an unexpected benefit. Not only will the rest of us be rid of the religious stench, but you’ll also be anesthetized and won’t mind the hellish isolation of She’owl nearly as much as someone who isn’t similarly sedated. Surely, I jest (or not).
Yahowah’s preference has always been for us to listen to Him by reciting His Towrah. It should be music to our ears and food for our souls. By doing so, we become right with God.
With the Towrah being the most valuable document in the universe – one of God’s greatest gifts, it’s surprising that Yahowah needs to laud its worth or promote its merit. However, that is what we find in these words.
It is indeed perplexing that Christians have been hoodwinked into believing that this speaks of their Jesus because they have sought to do away with the very thing we will be inheriting: Yahowah’s Towrah. Moreover, it is by exercising good judgment, not by faith, that Dowd, and those who he establishes, will endure.
But this is not a victory for Judaism either. It’s Yahowah’s Towrah, not their Talmud, which is being restored to prominence. And according to Dowd, we will all have the capacity to understand it without others having to interpret it for us. Moreover, HaShem has a name.
From this we can be assured:
| 1) | God is Yahowah’s title and Yahowah is God’s name. |
| 2) | Yahowah does not want anyone to associate Him with a god of man’s making by any other name. |
| 3) | Yahowah speaks directly to us and interacts with us through men like Dowd and Yasha’yah. |
| 5484) | Yahowah created the universe and the universe is expanding because Yahowah designed it such that it would continue to grow. |
| 5) | The transition from energy to matter was orchestrated by God in such a manner that the result would be productive and always evolving. |
| 6) | Yahowah gave mankind a neshamah | conscience so that we would have the capacity to reason, to think rationally, and distinguish between right and wrong so that we would be able to relate to Him. The neshamah | conscience is for the family of God, a.k.a., the Covenant. |
| 7) | Yahowah established the Miqra’ey and Dowd fulfilled them to invite their people to engage in a relationship with them. They have called us out of this world to be with them and welcome us into His Family. |
| 8) | Yahowah’s message to humankind was conveyed so that we could be right and thus vindicated, correct, and acquitted. |
| 9) | As our Father, Yah is committed to protecting His children, keeping us safe and out of harm’s way, so that we can branch out and grow. |
| 10) | Yahowah’s ultimate gift to His creation is the Covenant. This is His Family-Oriented Relationship Agreement whereby we are adopted into His family so that we can live with Him in His home. |
| 11) | As members of the Covenant, it is Yah’s intent that we serve as a light unto a dark world. This is how God envisions Yisra’el, His People serving as His Light for all mankind. |
| 12) | The Gentiles are not the light, they don’t provide the light, nor are they the source of the light. They 549are secondary beneficiaries after Yahuwdym – at least that is how it was intended to work. |
| 13) | Light illuminates and thus enlightens the observant. It enables the vision-impaired to see. |
| 14) | Yahowah is a liberator while man is an enslaver. God frees while man confines. |
| 15) | The Light realizes that His creation has been deliberately restricted and confused, purposely left in the dark, so that men could keep those under their control from knowing the truth about God. |
That’s a whole lot more interesting and useful than the Christian approach which is to deify a man who never existed. Now if we could only get Yahuwdym to open their ears to Yahowah’s pronouncement.
Yahowah is affirming that He has done what He has promised. If we are alert, if our eyes are open, we, Yahuwdym and Gowym, will recognize what Yahowah has done for us and appreciate why His actions have been so beneficial, both renewing and reaffirming. And yet, most of what Yah has just shared is still in our future. God is revealing it in advance of it happening so that we might be prepared and responsive, ready for what is about to happen.
But there is a caveat, to be informed, to benefit, to know what is about to unfold, we have to be willing to listen. And for that to occur, we must first close our ears to those who have misled us, to the rabbis, priests, pastors, imams, and politicians. It is only then that Yahowah’s message will resonate to the point we will be able to go where His words lead.
This was an exceptional prophecy. We have been introduced to the Third Coming of Dowd, whereby Yahowah’s King, Messiah, and Son will judge the Earth. 550We have been invited to listen to Yahowah’s invitation as He calls His Family Home. We have been introduced to the purpose of the Covenant, whereby Yah’s people can enlighten the world. We have learned that all of this is Yahowah’s doing and that Yahowah is God’s one and only name.
