Babel | Confusion

How the Lord Became God…

Richer for the journey, we have arrived at our initial destination: the 14^th chapter of Yasha’yah / Isaiah. It is here that we will find Yahowah affirming the connections between Babylon and Satan that we had sought to validate when initially considering the Mashal / Proverbs. This is important because Babel is the birthplace of institutionalized religion and its integration into government. And it is with babel | intermixing these caustic elements that people are babel | confused.

The chapter begins with a simple statement, affirming Yahowah’s enduring love for Yisra’el. His affection not only obliterates any possibility that God has somehow replaced His fondness for the descendants of Ya’aqob with a new-found desire to be compassionate toward a church comprised of Gentiles, or even with the zealots of Judaism, it demonstrates that He is kind toward those He loves. Yahowah is reliable because He never changes.

In the midst of the carnage preceding His return, Yahowah will once again side with His people, choosing them all over again. This alone is sufficient to destroy the balderdash of Christianity and Islam – even Judaism.

“Indeed (ky – rather and instead, surely and truly, emphasizing this point), Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH as ‘elowah – God instructed in His Towrah – Guidance regarding His hayah – existence) will show compassion and love (racham – will show mercy as a result of His affectionate relationship, 535concerned about and kind (piel imperfect active – Yisra’el is the beneficiary of God’s ongoing compassion and will become loving as a result)) toward (‘eth) Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob – One who Embeds his Heels, heir to the Covenant, synonym for Yisra’el).

He will once again choose (wa bachar ‘owd – and so He still strongly prefers and will subsequently select, willing to bear witness and say beyond what might be expected that He genuinely desires and will now actually approve and simultaneously accept, providing testimony that He will reenter into the covenant with (qal perfect – will actually and reliably at this moment choose)) to be with (ba) Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God).

Furthermore (wa) He will restore them, placing them in (nuwach hem ba – He will set them in and allow them to settle in and remain upon, forming a restful alliance with them within; from ruwach – spirit) their own land (‘adamah hem – their soil, their ground, and their earth).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:1)

This is one of the great enigmas of human history. How is it that billions of people believe that these words were inspired by God while, at the same time, completely negating their implications? Christianity and Islam are both destroyed by this declaration – as are Rabbinic Judaism and Socialist Secular Humanism.

God chose to form a covenant relationship with ‘Abraham and fell in love with him and, also, with Sarah, Yitschaq, and Ya’aqob. The promises He made to each of them, as they are presented in the Towrah, He will keep, including His preference for their descendants over all others, demonstrating this by His steadfast devotion and mercy toward Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym.

As the descendants of Ya’aqob, Yisra’el is an ethnicity – a distinct group of people who are related genetically. In 536addition, Yisra’el is a nation comprised of these individuals. Yisra’el is also a place, one described geographically, with its borders presented within the Towrah. And more than all of these things, Yisra’el is symbolic of the Beryth | Covenant because it was created and affirmed with them.

Yisra’el not only represents Yahowah’s ‘am | family and His beyth | home, Yisra’el denotes a person’s attitude toward our Father. Comprised of ysh sarah ‘el, it depicts Individuals who Engage and Endure with God as well as People who Contend and Strive Against the Almighty.

Yisra’el, however, is a fractured people. Almost immediately after Solomon’s reign over a united nation, ten of the twelve descendants of Ya’aqob split from Yahuwdah and formed the Northern Kingdom. This rift still exists, although it will be mended as part of Kipurym | Reconciliations.

With all of this known, several things are readily apparent and yet seldom acknowledged. To the extent that Yisra’el was religious, God hated them for it. Therefore, the connection between Yisra’el and Judaism is decidedly negative and serves to isolate the Chosen People and impoverish them.

Even today, 99.999% of Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym remain estranged from Yahowah. They are willfully ignorant and irrational about God and have been belligerent and antagonistic for several millennia. However, they have not been replaced. There has been a long intermission, an extended void, a time away for bad behavior, but no hint of a substitution.

Upon His return on Yowm Kipurym with King Dowd, Yahowah will heal the rift between Yisra’el and Yahuwdah and then reconcile His relationship with the surviving remnant of His people.

537Ten years from this writing, in year 6000 Yah / 2033 CE, the people comprising Yisra’el will be reaffirmed and restored in the Covenant. As a result, the nation of Yisra’el will serve as God’s home once again. And since there are hundreds of prophecies affirming this and none that disavow this Family Reunion, there is no room in God’s story for Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or any form of Replacement Theology.

As a result of these things, all of which are rationally irrefutable, there must be a day of reckoning. Upon Yahowah’s return with Dowd, there will be Judgment Day. All of those who, over the past 4,000 years since ‘Abraham, Yitschaq, and Ya’aqob, and thus Yisra’el and the Beryth, have harmed God’s people, will be held to account for their crimes. Religious, political, and military leaders will be judged, and based on the severity and consequence of their words and deeds, will face one of three fates. These include an eternity in She’owl | Hell for many thousands of grievous offenders. The second tranche of anti-Semites will be made to grovel at Yisra’el’s feet as manual laborers prior to their souls being exterminated. This is a much more favorable outcome. And the third disposition, one reserved for the likes of Peter and Paul, Luke and Mark, Akiba, Maimonides, and Baal Shem Tov, Vespasian, Titus, and Hadrian, Muhammad and the Rabbis who sold Talmud readings to him, Hitler and the Assyrian, will be to combine the first two penalties with a period of humiliating torture.

Therefore, while I had once wanted what follows to be withdrawn, today I see its purpose. If we are to interpret what follows literally, God will not immediately incinerate or incarcerate every foe of Yisra’el. For a while, many will become their servants and slaves. This is Yahowah’s way of making them appreciate the gravity of what they have done to the detriment of His people. Those who have sought to oppress Yisra’el will be oppressed by them. Fair is fair.

538I say “may” only because in the fourth verse this edict will be called a “mashal – parable, or word picture,” which is a means of conveying ethical teaching in a memorable way.” But that aside, having to serve ethical people in menial ways will actually be a reprieve for Yisra’el’s oppressors. Many are destined for a far worse fate. Therefore, their servitude is a way of reinforcing the reason such punishments are justified while also letting His children know that He has held those who sought to intimidate and annihilate them accountable.

While my personal bias against having servants is irrelevant, since I’ve mentioned it, I’d like to share my bias. I prefer doing my own work because I enjoy the process and the result. Further, I’m uncomfortable depriving decent people of their freewill. But I’m just a man, not God, so I’m not responsible for holding abusive people accountable for what they have done. God is. Therefore…

“Aliens (wa ha ger – those who are foreigners from a cultural group other than Yisra’el, lacking an inheritance and deprived of rights, decomposed and lifeless) will accompany (lawah – will be bound and indentured to, will be lent to (nifal perfect passive)) them (‘al hem), and (wa) they will be assigned to (saphach ‘al – they will be appointed and attached to, even shared with (nifal perfect passive)) the house (beyth – the family and home) of Ya’aqob (Ya’aqob – One who Embeds his Heels, heir to the Covenant, synonym for Yisra’el).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:1)

There is one aspect of this, beyond holding abusers liable, that I especially like, and that is there will be work to be done during the Millennial celebration of the Sukah Shabat. Enterprise not only builds character, but it also creates value. It builds discipline, increases a sense of personal responsibility, enhances our will to achieve, and it’s enjoyable.

539“Then (wa) many within the family (‘am rab – numerous among the chosen people [rab is from 1QIsa as it is omitted in the MT]) will take them (laqach hem – will obtain, collect, receive, and accept them, grasp hold of them, own them, possess them, and benefit from them (qal perfect active)) and bring them (wa bow’ hem – and will transport them) to their region and (‘erets wa – to their land or territory and [from 1QIsa]) to their dwelling place (‘el maqowm hem – to their homes and offices, to their source as a means to take a stand).

The house (wa beyth – family) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God) will take possession of them (nachal hem – will receive them as an inheritance, accepting them as a legitimate transfer of property, and will appropriately own them) upon (‘al – on) Yahowah’s (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation) earth (‘adamah – land, ground, and soil) as (la – for) bondservants and slaves (‘ebed – as male subordinates who are owned and sold to work for them; from ‘abad – to work, labor, perform, and serve) and as (wa la) maids (shiphchah – female servants and slave girls).

So, it will come to be that (wa hayah – it will come to exist that) those who had been their captives (la shabah hem – those who had been plundered by them and taken prisoner) will take them as prisoners (shabah – they will take them as captives, as a spoil of war), and (wa) they will rule over (radah – they will subdue, govern, and control them, they will dominate and subjugate, exercising considerable authority over (qal perfect) [different form in 1QIsa]) those who oppressed them (nagas hem – those who exploited them and taxed them, their taskmasters who drove them as slaves, even those who acted as tyrants or 540lords over them (qal active)).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:2)

While it is often preferable to translate ‘ebed as “associate or coworker,” that is not so in this case. If this is to be interpreted literally instead of allegorically, these men and women are prisoners, and as such, they will be working as slaves. While that may sound arcane to modern ears, and perhaps even cruel, consider what happens when those who deliberately abuse innocent people are forgiven. Then consider what these individuals have done or were doing when they died or were captured, and where many of them will be going – which is to Hell. For them, this is actually a reprieve, one that reveals God’s sense of justice and His love for His people.

It is impossible for a family or community to prosper and grow unless beneficial achievements and nurturing behaviors are encouraged, celebrated, and rewarded while harmful actions and abusive words and deeds are discouraged, scorned, and punished. Without exception, the men and women now living as servants in Yisra’el will fare far better over the ensuing millennia than similar souls who have earned an express ticket to She’owl.

Beyond this, the sight of a pope down on his knees, dressed as a sanitation engineer, cleaning public latrines in an Israeli neighborhood will satisfy our desire to have religious scum humiliated for having been so pompous and cavalier, knowingly leading so many astray while pretending to speak for God. An Islamic Jihadist responsible for maiming Jewish women and children in a bomb or knife attack, now serving those they sought to murder and mutilate, has a certain appeal to it. After all, it’s not like either is going to mouth off, spewing their vitriol, knowing that by doing so they’d forestall their parole from eternal anguish in She’owl.

541Perpetrating the Holocaust must come with a price for Europeans to pay. The destruction, enslavement, and occupation of Yisra’el, Yahuwdah, Yaruwshalaim, and Mowryah by the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Roman Catholics, and Muslims will be recompensed. There will be a cost for promoting Progressive and “Palestinian” ambitions.

“It will come to pass (wa hayah – then it will be) in that day (ba yowm), Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate pronunciation of YaHoWaH based upon ‘elowah’s – God’s towrah – guidance on His hayah – existence) will restore you and provide a favorable, restful, and spiritual alliance (nuwach – will renew your body, empowering you spiritually, placing you in close association by setting you in a beneficial situation (hifil infinitive construct)).

He will remove you from the pain and suffering associated with your anguishing works-oriented religious worship (la ‘atah min ‘otseb ‘atah – separating you from the mental anguish and unfavorable circumstances resulting from your strenuous toil involved with your offensive reverence for pagan imagery, a false deity, and an expenditure of considerable energy) as well as your turmoil and trepidation (wa min rogez ‘atah – as well as away from your troubling agitation, affliction, and accompanying anger), especially from (wa min) the unyielding and cruel (ha qasheh – the harsh and hard, the difficult and troublesome, and the severe and rigorous) work (‘abodah – laborious jobs, ministerial duties and religious practices, military campaigns and forced labor, even compelled submission to lords as slaves) in which (‘asher – wherein) they forced you to serve (‘abad ba ‘atah – they compelled you to do, reducing you to servitude (in the pual stem perfect conjugation the object passively suffers the effect for a finite period of time) [the verb is written differently in 1QIsa than in the MT]).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:3)

542It is a shame that Christians, largely as a result of Paul’s poison pen, have been hoodwinked into believing that the “God of the Old Testament” wants to deprive people of their freewill, essentially enslaving them by demanding that they obey a countless array of arcane laws, when He is steadfastly committed to our liberation. In fact, He wants to free humanity from the very institutions which have been conceived to misrepresent His nature and oppress His people. It’s Christianity that is “works-oriented,” while the Towrah frees us from toil.

But of course, there is no religion as rigid or arcane as Judaism. It has deprived more Jews of their right to engage in a relationship with Yahowah than any other institution.

As mentioned a moment ago, the fact that Yahowah is calling what we have just read a “mashal – parable,” opens up a number of interesting possibilities. The story presented in a parable can be allegorical, as long as the lesson it conveys is true. Almost all of Dowd’s parables are taught in this manner.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that the preceding depiction of those who enslaved becoming slaves was written to convey Yahowah’s promise to hold them accountable – to send them to a place where they will be deprived of the very freedoms they usurped from their subjects. As they did to others, it will be done to them.

Of particular interest, the preceding presentation is being directed at the “ruler of Babel,” who is Satan. It, therefore, underscores why the Adversary has sought to be known and worshiped as Bel or Ba’al – the Lord. Satan and his accomplices oppress and subjugate. They control the masses as if the people were property.

“In that day (wa ba ha yowm – at that time), you will lift up (nasa’ – you will accept, bear, carry, and raise (qal perfect active)) this particular Mashal | Proverb and Parable (ha Mashal ha zeh – this Comparative Word 543Picture, this story which may be factual or fictional and is told to illustrate an ethical point, to provide guidance, and to build character, this isolated descriptive reference or likeness presented as a similitude or example to teach, affirm, criticize, refute, or in jest to mock, this vivid and easily remembered comparative communication designed to enlighten and facilitate good decision-making) against (‘al – in front of) the ruler (melek – the one who influences and controls the society, religion, government, and military, the authority figure or king who demands submission and obedience, the focus and head of an institution whose directives subjects ponder and consider; from malak – reigning source of counsel and advice who conveys the message people are compelled to follow) of Babel | Confusion (Babel – of Babylon, of corruption resulting from commingling and intermixing; a compound of ba – with and bel – Lord, the Hebrew basis of Bible).

And you will say (wa ‘amar – you will express in words, bringing to light, and questioning), ‘Oh how (‘ek – in this way in the midst of these extraordinary circumstances) the onslaught of the systematic and boisterous promotion of mistaken beliefs (madhebah – the deceptive disease and misleading pandemic clothed so as to appear common, the enticement into destructive and deadly behavior, strife and quarrelsome dissension, raging persecution [from 1QIsa because the MT inexplicitly replaces the onslaught with “the golden city”]) has ceased (shabat – has abated and has been given a rest, has even been made to observe the Shabat).

In this way, in the midst of these extraordinary circumstances (‘ek – oh how [from 1QIsa]), the exploitation, manipulation, and corruption (nagas – the oppressive desire to extract payment, of the abusive imposition of authority and lordship, the misuse of power, and the desire to govern, rule, control, tax, and demand tribute) has been abated (shabat – has ceased and been 544given a rest, observing a Shabat).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:4)

Considering what follows “babel – confusion,” there should be no question in anyone’s mind as to where it is manifest. There are only two institutions capable of “madhebah – systematically and boisterously promoting mistaken beliefs” while at the same time “nagas – exploiting, manipulating, and corrupting” people to the degree depicted herein: religion and government. God is saying that, by eliminating the confusing nature of religious and political babel, He will rid the world of their caustic and malignant influence.

Let it be known: the most egregious and prolific progenitors of “babel / confusing corruption” are the institutions most people revere. God is not only opposed to them, He is going to ensure that they cease operations. The implications of this are astonishing. Rather than having to listen to clerics and politicians boast that they were called by God to serve, we will find Yahowah silencing them.

Rather than governments and religious institutions claiming that they are responsible for the people’s liberty, prosperity, security, and salvation, Yahowah, who is actually providing these things for His people, will obliterate these very institutions for their exploitation and manipulation of His people.

I have said it until I’m blue in the face: God damn religion! The Choter who shouted wolf has been proven right. The wolf in sheep’s clothing, the one feigning Divine inspiration while claiming God had given him exclusive rights to control Gentiles and condemn Jews, is now being exposed and condemned, albeit only after his words serve to devour ten billion souls without anyone standing up against him. The religions Sha’uwl and his ilk founded will cease to exist – as will Judaism, which was spawned to negate it for all the wrong reasons.

545But it’s not just religion that Yahowah will be eliminating. He is also opposed to political, military, and economic oppression. Such authority is always “rasha’ – invalid and incorrect, unethical and improper.” Therefore, Yahowah will break every implement and symbol of human authority and control. For the past six thousand years they have been the Devil’s tools.

“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH as ‘elowah – God instructed in His Towrah – Guidance regarding His hayah – existence) has broken (shabar – has smashed, fractured, crushed, and destroyed, has reacquired, stripped, and demolished) the underlying and inferior staff, spear, and club (mateh – the lesser and lower branches affiliations, sticks, and rods of religious, political, military, and economic oppression) of the invalid and incorrect (rasha’ – unrighteous and wicked, evil and guilty, unjust and unethical, the improper and condemned), the proverbial quotes and tools used by rulers to control people of the family of nations (shebet mashal – the bywords and symbols of governmental authority used by the major subdivisions of countries and related geopolitical powers to exert their dominion).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:5)

All any of us should do at this moment is to throw Yahowah’s words against them. We can expose and condemn religious, governmental, economic, and military leaders and their institutions using evidence and reason. But God is not limited in this regard. He can and will obliterate all traces of man’s maniacal mechanisms.

The “makah – afflictions, plagues, and body-blows” Yahowah is going to inflict upon “radah gowym – the Gentiles and nations which sought to impose their control over others,” “murdap – systematically depriving people of their rights,” will commence just fifteen years from the time I first wrote these words in early 2018. It’s time to choose whose side you want to be on.

546“He will strike and destroy (nakah – He will conquer and subdue, smiting and scourging) these people (‘am – related individuals)) in righteous indignation (ba ‘ebrah – with intense displeasure and unbridled disappointment, and an outpouring of anger and wrath) with unfailing and unceasing (bilthy sarah – unstopping and unrelenting) body-blows, afflictions, and plagues (makah – impairments, calamities, and defeats, scourging and slaughter) who sought to subdue and control, rule over and govern, imposing their authority by trampling down the liberty of the gentiles (radah gowym – who tried to dominate the nations as dictators or autocrats, imposing themselves upon the masses, establishing rules and legislating, subjugating and overpowering, lifting themselves up by beating the gentiles down) and with grievous (‘aph – moreover with anger and longsuffering) systematic deprivation of rights and freewill (murdap – miserable persecution, bitter harassment, and anguishing maltreatment) without restraint (bely – never withholding their destructive corruption, sparing no one).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:6)

It’s simply a matter of justice, of being fair, of holding people accountable, and of protecting one’s family from harm. Any other response would be unjust and unconscionable.

We are all aware that the politically correct and religious have been conned into believing otherwise but look at the consequences. In a world where truth is demeaned and those who convey it are badgered and banished, all while the best liars prevail and are rewarded, the vast preponderance of people have lost the ability to be moral or just. They can no longer exercise good judgment or discern between right and wrong. The result is a planet in the throes of death, quivering between vain and vile.

Fortunately, this malfeasance and idiocy won’t last much longer. The distributors of this poison will be 547incarcerated in She’owl and those lapping it up will soon cease to exist. With these caustic and counterproductive elements removed, the Earth will be transformed into the conditions experienced during ‘Adam and Chawah’s stay in the Garden of ‘Eden.

With all aspects of religion and politics, weapons and soldiers, judicial systems and police, governments and economic schemes, in addition to all forms of corruption and pollution swept away, the climate will be changed to perfection. The planet will be restored to the beauty and vitality of life as originally intended.

In a bit of irony, while this may be what environmentalists seek, there will be none left to applaud as a consequence of their passion for politics. Almost everything man has built and treasured will be gone, replaced by what God values.

This is the reason that the lone prerequisite of the Covenant is to disassociate from the ways of man. It explains why we were told about ‘Eden. It is affirmed by the fact that the Doorway to Life, Pesach, leads to Sukah – to Camping Out with God. We are returning to the beginning, which is why God’s story must be read from start to finish if you want to move in the right direction.

Yahowah’s perspective on what will make heaven perfect, the enjoyable, enriching, enlightening, empowering, and loving experience He envisions and has promised, is the antithesis of what man has sought to convey, largely because those prone to describe it will be excluded from it. There will not be so much as a hint of religion or politics, absolutely no patriotism nor militaries, no churches, synagogues, mosques, or shrines, preachers, popes, or Bibles, no police or judicial systems, no arguments over capitalism or communism, democracy or monarchy, no economic stratification, nor any societal hierarchy. Faith will give way to reason, wrong to right, 548darkness transformed into light, death replaced by life. This is what it means to be renewed and restored….

“The entire (kol) earth (‘erets – land and material realm) is a home at rest spiritually (nuwach – is a settled and restful dwelling, an allied and favorable place to live, association and circumstance, secure and relaxed), at peace (shaqat – calm and quiet, reconciled and satisfying, without any provocation or fighting), restored, liberated, and bursting forth (patsach – renewed, tranquil, and starting over, cheerful and free, separated, delivered, set apart, and ready to break out, opening up) in song and shouting for joy (rinah – rejoicing, making beautiful music, and communicating a jubilant message).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:7)

This is Sukah! For the first time since Yahowah and ‘Adam camped out in the Garden together six thousand years ago, God will call Earth home. We will explore the planet together, celebrate life, learn from one another, and sing uplifting songs, completely free, all while participating in the Covenant. The planet is now at rest, enjoying a thousand-year Shabat. It is home to Yahowah’s spiritual children – the beneficiaries of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah as well as Taruw’ah and Kipurym.

The next illustration is symbolic of what will be occurring. God is using one of my favorite things, a mountain breeze blowing through evergreen conifers, as a way of conveying the eternal joy experienced by those invited to camp out with our Creator. The cedars of Lebanon were used to construct Yahowah’s and Dowd’s homes on Mount Mowryah. Moreover, their long lives are emblematic of their enduring nature. They are deeply rooted and able to withstand the blusterous winds of change, standing firm, tall, and upright, reaching up toward the sky, continually transforming light into energy to grow.

549“Moreover (wa), the sincere and honest evergreen branches (barowsh – the pure and truthful who are upright and living, the cleansed and stately conifers) rejoice (samach – are outwardly delighted and happy) for you (la ‘atah – on your approach and on your behalf).

The cedars (‘erez – the large, enduring, and fragrant trees which are ideal for building lasting homes) of Lebanown | Lebanon (ha Lebanown – of those clothed in white; from labas, lehabah, and laban – adorned in fiery white light [addition of ha is from 1QIsa]) are saying (‘amar – declaring), ‘From the time (min ‘az) you became inactive (shakab – you were laid low) until now (wa – so [from 1QIsa]), no one has come up to cut (lo’ ‘alah ha karat – no one ascends to cut a covenant) us in (‘al ‘anahnu – for us or near us [from 1QIsa]).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:8)

If I’m reading this correctly, the joyful evergreens and the stately and enduring cedars are Gentile Covenant members who are now celebrating Yisra’el’s return to favor. There was a brief period during the time of Dowd and his son when they were highly valued, making a tangible contribution to the great homes built on Mowryah. But alas, they would be ravaged by Egyptians and Assyrians, Greeks and Romans, and endure the past 1,400 years surrounded by the shrill, unproductive, and anti-Semitic shouts of Muslims.

In this light, the concluding remark suggests that the neglect they suffered during the past 2,500 years as a result of Yisra’el being inactive and failing to sustain and build Yahowah’s Covenant Home, is now over. The cedars are shown as excited because the Gentiles, who manifest their best qualities, know that they will be used in a productive way once again – as they are cut into the Covenant relationship.

550This has all served as an especially revealing beginning to what is sure to be an extraordinary chapter. Yahowah has reaffirmed that throughout time, from the beginning to the culmination of events, Yisra’el has retained its distinction as God’s “Chosen People.” Once again, Yahowah loves what the world hates and hates what the world craves.

We also learned that our Heavenly Father is going to tangibly demonstrate the true nature of love, which is to not only protect His Family but to punish those who have sought to harm them. Then He is going to renew the Earth, restoring life to the way it was in ‘Eden.

“By contrast, Yahowah will show compassion and love toward Ya’aqob. He will once again choose Yisra’el because He still strongly prefers to be with them. Furthermore, He will restore them and place them in their own land.

Those who are foreigners from a cultural group other than Yisra’el, lacking an inheritance and deprived of rights, decomposing and lifeless, will accompany them, indentured to them, and they will be assigned to the house of Ya’aqob. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:1)

Many within the family will bring them to their region and to their dwelling place, even to their homes and offices. The house of Yisra’el (Individuals who Engage and Endure with God) will take possession of them, accepting them as a legitimate transfer of property and spoil of war upon Yahowah’s earth, as male bondservants and as female maids and slave girls.

So, it will come to be that those who had been their captives will take them as prisoners, and they will rule over those who oppressed them and exploited them. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:2)

551It will come to pass in that day that Yahowah will restore you and provide a favorable spiritual alliance, renewing your body while empowering you spiritually, placing you in close association by setting you in a beneficial situation, removing you from the pain and suffering associated with your anguishing works-oriented religious worship and the unfavorable circumstances associated with your compelled submission. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:3)

At this time, you will lift up this particular Mashal | Proverb, this comparative word picture told to illustrate an ethical point, to provide guidance, which is presented as a similitude to teach, and thereby facilitate good decision-making, against the ruler, in opposition to the one who influences and controls governments and religions, so that you disapprove of the authority figure who seeks submission and obedience associated with Babel | Confusion, and with the corruption resulting from commingling and intermixing in the Lord’s Bible.

And you will say, ‘Oh how the onslaught of the systematic and boisterous promotion of mistaken beliefs has ceased, the enticement into destructive and deadly behavior and quarrelsome dissension is over.

In this way, and in the midst of these extraordinary circumstances, this exploitation, manipulation, and corruption have come to an end, as well as the abusive imposition of authority and the misuse of power, even the desire to govern, control, tax, and demand tribute has been abated by observing the Shabat.’ (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:4)

Yahowah has broken the underlying and inferior staff, spear, and club of religious, political, military, and economic oppression of the invalid and incorrect, with the bywords and symbols of governmental authority used by nations and geopolitical powers to 552exert their dominion being shattered. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:5)

Then He will strike and destroy the people in righteous indignation with unfailing and unceasing afflictions and plagues, especially those who sought to subdue and control, rule over and govern, imposing their authority by trampling down the liberty of the gentiles, those who tried to dominate the nations as dictators or autocrats, imposing themselves upon the masses, establishing rules and legislating, lifting themselves up by beating the gowym down with a grievous and systematic deprivation of rights and freewill without restraint, sparing no one. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:6)

The entire earth is now a home and is at rest spiritually, at peace without any provocation or fighting, restored, liberated, and bursting forth in song while shouting for joy. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:7)

Moreover, the sincere and honest, the pure and truthful who are upright and living, these cleansed and stately evergreen branches rejoice because they are happy for you. The cedars of Lebanown | Lebanon are saying, ‘From the time you became inactive no one has come up to cut us in.’” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:8)

Yahowah has not changed, nor will He ever alter course. He has and will continually choose Yisra’el over all others. They remain the Chosen People – the family, nation, and race Yahowah loves above and beyond all others. They will benefit from His mercy.

Sorry, Christians, but Paul lied to you. And sadly, in spite of explicit warnings from God and overwhelming evidence to the contrary, you believed a mercurial man over the inspired and emancipating testimony of Yahowah. God did not change His mind or His approach and does not have a different message and plan for Gentiles.

553As a result, it is nations that sought to control Israel who will be silenced. Those who demeaned His people will be rebuked and dismissed. These things accomplished; the Earth will be restored as a joyous home for Yahowah’s Family.

While every Covenant member will be celebrating, and the remnant of Yisra’el will thrive, it appears as if She’owl will also be buzzing in anticipation of welcoming the world’s leaders to its eternal abode. In the end, almost everyone seems to get what they want, or at least what they deserve.

Inanimate objects, such as the lightless prison of She’owl, are occasionally afforded a point of view as if they had a personality to illustrate a point. If that is not the case, however, then God is excoriating Sha’uwl in this next statement. In that She’owl and Sha’uwl are spelled identically in Hebrew, the reference is either the place or person. And if Sha’uwl, then this serves as an indictment of the infamous and deadly individual who was the principal author of the Christian New Testament. As the founder of the world’s most popular Gentile religion – one based entirely on babel, he will have influenced more of the political entities, religious institutions, and leaders at this time than everyone else combined. And there is no question that Sha’uwl is in She’owl awaiting the arrival of his coconspirators.

But even if I’m wrong about the possibility that this may be speaking of Sha’uwl in addition to She’owl, and thus serve as a further affirmation of this horrid man’s influence on the souls he may now be welcoming into this prison, following the previous statement which identified the culprits headed this way, this is the worst possible news 554for world political and religious leaders. I would hate to think that Hell is awaiting my arrival as it is theirs.

This picture Yahowah has painted presents the ultimate contrast between right and wrong, good and bad. The decisions each of us make in this regard are unalterable and everlasting. Choose wisely between the things of God and the things of man. Open your eyes and mind and reject religion and politics in favor of Yahowah and His Towrah.

The overriding message here is that to be with Yahowah and participate in His Covenant we must at some point disassociate ourselves from the nations and institutions those destined for She’owl have led. We cannot cleave to them and be accepted by God. For the sake of your soul, take the unpopular path, the less-trodden route, away from man and to Yah. Experience what it means to be “qodesh – set apart.”

There is no benefit in having She’owl, or its most acclaimed convict, Sha’uwl, welcome you. On the contrary, there is every reason to listen to Yahowah so that you can be among the few who are welcomed into His home…

“She’owl / Sha’uwl (She’owl – the place of abandonment, punishment, and questioning, the abode of no return and the realm of the dead; from sha’al – to question someone and for them to be questioned / or Sha’uwl, the failed king Saul and false prophet Paul), as the least desirable and most depressing alternative (min tachath – from below, depicting that which is spatially beneath and inferior, also burdensome), is excited (rogez – is all stirred up and roaring, agitated and anxious, trembling with anticipation) to summon and meet you, announcing your arrival (la ‘atah la qara’ bow’ ‘atah – to welcome and greet you, calling you out by name while issuing and reciting an invitation for you to come, publicly proclaiming your entrance and inclusion).

555It has been alerted and is aroused to crush (‘uwr la ‘atah – it is incited to squash you, concentrating the utmost force to destroy the unjust who give false testimony) all of the departed souls (kol repha’ym – every deceased individual having no material or physical substance only consciousness) of those who have been leaders and rulers (‘atuwd – of the authority figures and individuals obtaining high status) of the earth (‘erets – of the material realm).

It raises up and establishes (quwm – it confirms, validates, ratifies, encourages, and supports) by means of their thrones and positions of power (min kise’ hem – based upon their place of honor), all of (kol – every one of) the leaders (melek – the rulers, the most persuasive, powerful, and important individuals who influence society, religion, government, and military, the authority figures or kings who demand submission and obedience, the heads of institutions whose directives subjects ponder and follow; from malak – reigning source of counsel and advice who conveys the message people are compelled to follow) of the gentile nations (gowym – of the countries and people other than Yisra’el).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:9)

Somehow, this is what I have always anticipated. And yet, seeing it so clearly and universally stated, so unambiguously and undeniably, I am at a loss for words. It’s one thing to read Yahowah’s testimony with an eye to making the proper connections so as to deduce the most reasonable conclusions and another to read this as bluntly as it is stated here. Having anticipated that this would be the case, is the reason that I have sought to undermine so much of what people have been led to believe.

Considering that the soul of every world leader, whether they claim religious, political, or military authority, is either currently incarcerated in She’owl or headed in that direction, this is among the most polarizing 556statements presented by God. It not only affirms that Sha’uwl | Paul lied when he wrote that all governments were established by God and should be obeyed in his overture to the Romans, but it unravels the entire fabric of human history.

There is no getting around this, no reprieve for Babylon, Assyria, Greece, Rome, the Church, or the leaders of any country or religious institution on Earth. They are all going to “hell.” All means “all,” that is all, all means. Every empowered world leader is headed to She’owl to meet Sha’uwl, the man who was paramount in establishing the union between religion and politics and who lied regarding God’s position on these things. And should you question this conclusion, read his pathetic and God-damned drivel in the 13^th chapter of Romans.

While accountability is always a good thing, there is another aspect of this that I find appealing. God cares about Gentiles too, and He is disappointed that their leadership has deprived so many of their rights and freewill. But more than this, the fact that God is condemning Gentiles for what they have done puts all of this right back into Sha’uwl’s | Paul’s lap, because he claimed them all for himself. They were his target audience, making the Chosen People his adversaries. And make no mistake, it was Paul who inspired those who foolishly believed him – Gentiles – to do horrible things to God’s people. Moreover, since Sha’uwl | Paul admits to being demon-possessed at the conclusion of his second letter to the Corinthians, the association between Sha’uwl, She’owl, Satan, and Gowym cannot be overlooked.

Sha’uwl’s She’owl invitees will find their world upside down and disorienting. Removed from the living, and in the midst of this rude awakening, they will ask the man who paved the broad path to “hell”…

557“All of them (kol hem – every one of them without exception [from 1QIsa]) will respond (‘anah – will choose to reply through their debasement, humiliation and affliction (qal imperfect jussive)) and say to you (wa ‘amar ‘el ‘atah – and convey and declare to you, choosing to ask you), ‘Have you also become weak and afflicted (gam ‘atah chalah – are you also grieving over having become diseased, riddled with anxiety over the emotional distress and mental anguish, impaired and worn out begging for intercession as well (pual perfect passive – the object suffers the effect of the afflictions)) just like we are (ka ‘anahnu ‘el ‘anahnu – similar to what is happening to us), becoming like the proverb (mashal – likened unto the story you had conveyed as a living example of the parable (nifil perfect))?’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:10)

They have gone from the penthouse to the outhouse and don’t much like it. And since misery loves company, they are hoping that they are not alone.

In that we learn by making connections, the last time we were told about this “mashal – proverb,” it was presented to depict Yahowah’s desire for us to oppose the influence of government and religion, of those who, in conjunction with Babel, seek submission and obedience. When this occurs, the onslaught of the systematic promotion of mistaken beliefs will finally be abated. And while that declaration was just five statements ago, it bears repeating in this context…

“At this time, you will lift up, accepting and raising this particular Mashal | Proverb, this comparative word picture told to illustrate an ethical point, to provide guidance, and to build character, and thereby facilitate good decision-making, against the ruler, in opposition to the one who influences and controls governments and religions, so that you disapprove of the authority figure 558who seeks submission and obedience associated with Babel | Confusion.

And you will say, ‘Oh how the onslaught of the systematic and boisterous promotion of mistaken beliefs has ceased, the enticement into destructive and deadly behavior and quarrelsome dissension is over.

In this way, and in the midst of these extraordinary circumstances, this exploitation, manipulation, and corruption have come to an end, as well as the abusive imposition of authority and the misuse of power, even the desire to govern, control, tax, and demand tribute has been abated by observing the Shabat.’ (Yasha’yah 14:4)

Therefore, the picture God is painting for us to see is one in which governmental imposition and religious authority are so egregious that all such leaders are going to be incarcerated in She’owl – without exception. Knowing this, recognizing that Yahowah stated it so unambiguously, what do you suppose God’s reaction is going to be to those who believed them, or worse, who served with them?

How is it that this statement has been available for the world to read, by the most acclaimed prophet in the midst of the most popular book ever written, and no one has noticed? Not a single person has bothered to explain the profound implications of this statement, one which completely undermines the authority while destroying the credibility of every religious and political institution on Earth. And it is as if the religious institutions publishing Bible translations think that their customers are either so universally indoctrinated or overwhelmingly stupid that no one will figure it out and hold them accountable.

It wasn’t hidden either. To prove my point, here are a variety of popular translations of Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:9 for your consideration, all of which depict every world 559leader going to hell. While the translations vary from erroneous to egregious, there is no mistaking the message.

New International Version – “The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the departed to greet you-- all those who were leaders in the world; it makes them rise from their thrones--all those who were kings over the nations.”

New Living Translation – “In the place of the dead there is excitement over your arrival. The spirits of world leaders and mighty kings long dead stand up to see you.”

English Standard Version – “Sheol beneath is stirred up to meet you when you come; it rouses the shades to greet you, all who were leaders of the earth; it raises from their thrones all who were kings of the nations.”

New American Standard Bible – “Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.”

King James Bible – “Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.”

International Standard Version – “The afterlife below is all astir to meet you when you arrive; it rouses up the spirits of the dead to greet you— everyone who used to be world leaders. It has raised up from their thrones all who used to be kings of the nations.”

Why hasn’t anyone brought this to the attention of the world’s political and religious leaders – or more importantly, to their subjects and devotees? Nothing shows a greater dichotomy between God’s way and man’s or is as universally upending of government.

While rational readers over the centuries have recognized that the individual being addressed here isn’t 560the “King of Babylon” but instead the “Leader of Confusion,” for those who would claim otherwise, let’s put that debate to rest. The King of Babylon during the time it was seized by Cyrus wasn’t akin to a “mashal – proverb,” in that fewer than one in ten million even know his name, much less anything about him. While the research I presented in the previous chapter is readily available, had I not searched for it and shared what I discovered, I suspect you would know as little about him as I did prior to trying to solve the prophetic presentation we encountered.

On the other hand, however, both Satan and Sha’uwl are far better known than Yahowah. The world’s primary object of worship over the past six millennia, the Lord (Satan) is the most revered individual in human history. And as we will learn in a moment, while Satan was cast down from heaven, no man has ever endured this particular fate.

As we move to the next statement, there is the tendency in English Bibles to render nebel as “harp,” and thus suggest that maggots are somehow musically inclined and prone to spread out and form a bed when they hear the nocturnal notes of the elegant stringed instrument. But in reality, nebel is just one of many Hebrew words for “implement,” this one used to depict “instruments which are outrageously disgraceful and foolish, contemptible and defiant.” There are neither “maggots” nor “worms” in She’owl, but suffice it to say, a bed of “flesh-eating, garbage-devouring, slithering and squirming grubs” paints an unappealing mental picture for someone who has considered himself extraordinarily dignified and beautiful.

Speaking to Satan, while mocking his preoccupation with grandiose titles, Yahowah declares:

“Your arrogance, unwarranted status, desire to rise above, and your majesty (ga’own ‘atah – your splendor and self-exaltation, along with your personal 561glorification, your conceited attitude and lack of morality, your grating and agitating behavior, and your propensity to blow smoke, your highness; from ga’ah – desire to be lifted up and rise over others) have brought you down (yarad – precipitated your descent, causing you to be taken down, prostrated and subjugated) to She’owl | the Realm of the Dead (She’owl – to the place of everlasting abandonment, estrangement, incarceration, punishment, and questioning, the abode of no return; from sha’al – to question someone and for them to be questioned, indistinguishable from Sha’uwl, the failed king Saul and false prophet Paul).

And at the boisterous and disquieting sound (wa ha hemyah – so then at the tumultuous and mourning cry of the riotous multitudes, at the clamorous, confusing, and disturbing growl of uproarious discord; from hamah – to murmur, growl, and roar in a clamorous and tumultuous cry [from 1QIsa]) of your disgraceful and foolish implements (nebel ‘atah – your wicked, immoral, and defiant standards, your outrageously disgraceful and contemptible instruments), maggots (rimah – the squirming larva of flies, annoying flesh-devouring insects which feed on rotting garbage; from ramam – to be exalted and lifted up, praised or worshiped) will be spread out as a bed (yatsa’ – will be strewn out as a bedspread) and (wa) worms (towle’ah – creeping and squirming bloody-purple grubs which consume organic matter; from yala’ – to speak rashly, swallowing and devouring wildly inaccurate accusations) shall become your covers (mekaseh ‘atah – will blanket you as a garment [from 1QIsa]).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:11)

She’owl was created for Satan and the misaligned mal’ak associated with him. As spiritual beings, they cannot be killed or destroyed. But as light, they can be incarcerated in something akin to a black hole and thus kept from interfering with Yahowah’s plans forevermore. That 562is why this lesser light, this dark and demented spirit, was cast down.

I suspect that the wicked and immoral implements in this case will be the mal’ak – spiritual implements who rebelled along with Satan. They are going to turn on him eventually for having subjected them to She’owl when they could have spent an eternity in heaven.

We are about to discover the Adversary’s name, and it is not “Lucifer.” If you are a “Bible-believing” Christian, you should be asking yourself why those who have published your Bibles and who have preached from them have universally and deliberately misled you regarding his designation and ambition. Satan’s name is important because it reveals a treasure trove of information about him.

What follows can only be said of a spiritual being. No man or woman has ever been cast out of heaven. Many have been invited, some as prophets to report on what they experienced and others as part of their inheritance as a participant in the Covenant. And while both are free to come and go as they please, that is a far cry from being cast down and out.

“You have fallen and have been cast down (naphal – you have gone from a higher position to a lower one, you have been sent down and are inferior as a result of your contempt, allotted and allocated to the earth below, dividing up the refuse and carcasses, cut down, downcast, and falling prostrate in worship for having failed in your attack, ruined and estranged, banished from the association as part of an abortion or miscarriage) from (min – out of and away from) the spiritual abode (ha shamaym – the heavens, the spiritual realm, the home of God [‘ha – the’ is from 1QIsa]) Hylel ben Shachar | Brightly Shining Son of Darkness (Hylel ben Shachar – the Flashy and Boastful Child of the East, the Blackness of the Shining One, the 563ostentatious and boastful showoff comprised of light predisposed to mislead and make others appear foolish as a descendant of a dark, black, and gloomy place in the east predicated upon the rising sun and morning star, wailing and howling over the scheme he has conjured to satiate his longings).

You have been cut down, cast down, and have been disassociated (gada’ – you have been felled and have fallen, destroyed and cut off, and you will be silenced and subjected to enormous pressure, sent down and away) to the earth (la ha ‘erets – to the material realm), you who is weakening, prostrating, and vanquishing (chalash – you who is overcoming and defeating the powerless and dying, disabling the weak who bow down) in close association with and upon (‘al) the gentile nations (gowym – ethnic and geopolitical groups outside of Yisra’el, gentiles, people acting as if they were animals [singular in 1QIsa and plural in MT and LXX]).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:12)

There are several, equally appropriate ways to translate Hylel ben Shachar, all of which are revealing: Brightly Shining Son of Darkness, Flashy and Boastful Child of the East, or even Blackness of the Shining One. His name indicates that he is an “ostentatious and boastful showoff comprised of light predisposed to mislead and make others appear foolish.” Satan is a “descendant of a dark, black, and gloomy place in the east predicated upon the rising sun and morning star, who is known for wailing and howling over the scheme he has conjured to satiate his longings.”

Beyond its primary definition, which confirms that Satan is a spiritual being and thus “comprised of light, shining brightly, as a light-bearing object,” halal, the actionable root of Hylel, describes his “flashy” nature, “arrogant” attitude, and “boastful” assertions.

564The final three attributes, “flashy, arrogant, and boastful,” make him the opposite of God. Yahowah never shows off. He is consistently modest and inconspicuous, habitually understated while constantly over-delivering. It is an aspect of His personality that makes Him approachable, easy and comfortable to be around.

Frankly, as the Creator of the universe, the Author of life, and the Inspiration behind the Towrah, it would be impossible for Yahowah to be arrogant. There is no way to over-evaluate these achievements and no accolades capable of overstating the prowess of God. More importantly, His commitment to sacrificial love, to serving His children by getting down on His knees, to diminishing an aspect of His nature, all to lift us up defines the Almighty as the antithesis of the Adversary. His entire purpose is to make us great, not for us to praise Him. Affirming this, Yahowah never asks us to worship Him.

Since boasts fall into the categories of either overstating one’s relative importance in comparison to another or making an assertion beyond one’s capacity to deliver, Yahowah cannot boast.

As we dig deeper into the insights halal provides into Satan’s nature, we find that such an individual is “predisposed to mislead while making others appear foolish.” Halal defines this propensity as “a malady and as madness.”

On the positive side, and since light has many beneficial attributes, halal can be used to convey the idea of “praiseworthy illumination” and to express our desire to “radiate the light” of God. The renowned exclamation Halaluyah! expresses our desire to “radiate Yahowah’s light, shining brightly in Yah’s presence” while declaring “His light worthy.”

But one thing is for sure, Hylel cannot rationally or responsibly be translated or transliterated as “Lucifer” or 565“Morning Star.” “Shining One” is an acceptable translation, but as a name, the only correct way to treat Hylel is to transliterate it, replicating the sound of his personal and proper designation in the alphabet of another language. Beyond this, in a subsequent discussion or within parenthesis following Hylel, the basis of the name and its potential meanings can be conveyed.

There is no dispute that Hylel is based upon the verb, “halal – to shine,” but it may also be marginally influenced by yalel, meaning “to howl like a beast, to wail and lament, to hallucinate and mock.” This verb is used in Yow’el / Joel 1:5 to suggest that we are prone to say foolish things when we are intoxicated with the “new wine” of the New Testament’s Eucharist and Communion: “Wake up those of you who are inebriated, those of you who wail and howl, all of you who are intoxicated with new wine, and keep it away from your mouth.”

Yow’el / Joel 1:11 tells those who farm the fields and dress the vines to wail over the fact that there is no barley to harvest and thus a dearth of saved souls. Similarly, 1:13 uses yalel to tell the priests and ministers to lament over the realization that the wine and lamb of Passover are being withheld. Then in Mykyah / Because Who is Like Yah / Micah 1:8, the prophet says that he will “howl like the serpents.” Also relevant, yalel was used in Yasha’yah / Isaiah 13:6: “Wail and howl (yalel – cry out and shout out a warning, expressing a woe to be heard in desolate places) for the Day of Yahowah is approaching.”

This brings us to the rest of Satan’s name. He is “ben Shachar – son of the rising sun, son of the dawn, or child of the east,” thereby addressing Babel / Babylon. Written the same way in the Hebrew text, but pointed differently by the Masoretes, shachar also means “to be black, to blacken, to be swarthy, dark, foreboding, and / or weather-beaten,” making Hylel the “Son of Darkness.”

566In this case, the contrast and duplicity between “shining brightly” so as to appear as a source of enlightenment to some and divine to others, while actually being the “son of darkness,” provides an especially insightful and apt depiction of Satan’s conflicted nature, character, and tactics whereby the Adversary seeks to be known as God.

Furthermore, as a verb, shachar speaks of “strongly desiring something and being willing to conjure up a scheme to achieve that longing.” If nothing else, Satan has been motivated, devoting all of his energies over the past six thousand years to achieving his goal: the deception, depredation, degradation, debasement, death, and damnation of humankind. And as we learned in the tale of the Assyrian, he is either unaware or will not accept the fact that he loses in the end, as does every soul he takes with him into She’owl.

Therefore, Hylel ben Shachar is the “Brightly Shining Son of Darkness and the Flashy and Boastful Child of the East.” His character, motivations, and approach are further illustrated as: “the ostentatious and boastful showoff comprised of light predisposed to mislead while making others appear foolish as a descendant of a dark, black, and gloomy place in the east which is focused upon the rising sun and morning star, wailing and howling over the scheme he has conjured to satiate his longings.”

As we ponder the implications of the statement following the presentation of Satan’s name, we come to realize that this was assuredly describing the plight of a spiritual being and not a material individual. He has been cast out of heaven and to the earth. And now that he has been disassociated from Yahowah, he is going about his business – the degradation and subjugation of humankind – especially Gentiles by way of the leaders of their nations. By encouraging them to be religious, by requiring that they bow down and prostrate themselves, by insisting that they 567support their country and its military, he is weakening them.

But do not think that Satan’s target audience is Gentiles, because I’m convinced that would be a mistake – and it’s not what this statement is implying. This actually seems to convey that Satan is associating with Gentiles politically and religiously because he wants to use them. And if that is the case, by process of elimination, he would be inspiring Gentiles to harass “Jews.”

Now that we know who Satan actually is, what has happened to him, and what he is doing? Yahowah is affording us the opportunity to listen to what he has to say. Apart from the things of God, this candid declaration may be among the most revealing and relevant statements ever made. It explains how Satan operates and where we should expect to find him.

“Because (wa – and) you (‘atah), yourself, said (‘amar – boasted and declared, expressed in words, intended, and mentioned (qal perfect)) in (ba) your judgment and core (lebab ‘atah – the perspective and ambition you have taken to heart, the inclination and resolution of your inner nature, the ambition and determination of your being, your understanding, passion, and desire; from labab – to ravish, overwhelm, and overpower, to become intelligent and offer enlightenment, and to encourage an emotional response),

‘I will ascend, overcome, and be exalted (‘alah – I will rise above and be lifted up, I will be presented as superior and worshiped, offered up and engendering sacrifices even as Allah (qal imperfect active)) in the spiritual realm in heaven (ha shamaym – among the stars in the sky and the abode of God), more than and above (min ma’al la – ascending upward beyond, greater than) the luminous personification and brilliant progeny (kowkab – addressing the stars, the highest places, the 568brightest lights and heavenly powers) of God (‘el – of the Almighty).

I will raise (ruwm – I will lift up in triumph and rebellion, magnifying (hifil imperfect)) my throne (kise’ ‘any – my seat of power, authority, and honor, my place to influence and rule; related to kasah – ability to conceal one’s true identity, hiding the information needed to understand, covering over and clothing oneself in a way which is misleading).

I will establish a dwelling place (yashab – I will settle upon and inhabit, abiding and remaining, creating a place for people to approach and meet (qal imperfect)) on the Mount of the Appointed Meetings (ba har mow’ed – in conjunction with the mountains and ridgeline of the designated and authorized times to meet for the celebratory feasts; from ya’ad – to appoint and designate, to set and fix, to gather for a betrothal ceremony) in association with (ba) the northern summit (yarekah tsaphown – the remote area and distant place associated with the north wind or left hand, on the side and flank of where the Canaanite gods lived, below; from yarek – base and procreative power and tsaphan – to lurk and hide one’s actual value from discovery). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:13)

I will ascend (‘alah – I will rise above and be lifted up, drawing a following and overcome, seen as superior as Allah (qal imperfect)) above (‘al – over) the heights (bamah – elevated places of worship, the lofty shrines and cultic platforms of pagan religious devotion) of the clouds (‘ab – obscuring phenomenon which conceals heavenly objects from view).

I will on my own initiative make myself appear as if I were (damah – I will do whatever is necessary to be considered as, correspond to, and be the equivalent of, without any assistance I will consistently resemble and continually be comparable to, and on an ongoing basis I 569will be seen in the likeness of (hitpael imperfect – without any outside help or interference, on one’s own initiative and based solely on their ability and actions without any outside influence on a continual and habitual ongoing basis)) the Most High (la ‘elyown – representing the approach of the one true God, the same as the supreme being, greater and higher than the Almighty, inspiring awe, fear, and devotion with the splendor and status of God; from ‘elohym and ‘alah – Allah as God or more precisely: Allahu Akbar).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:14)

There are five Satanic declarations here, the last one being the most revealing. Five is the number of confusion and thus of Satan. Affirming this his most recognizable sign is the five-pointed star, rotated to symbolize the head of a goat. In the order of things, five / confusion stands between four / a time of fulfillment, and six / the number of man. And should you be curious, one is the number of God. Two represents choice. Three is the number of family. And seven is perfection. Therefore, man (6) without God (1) is confused (5).

Let’s evaluate these statements one at a time. First: “‘I will ascend, overcome, and be exalted (‘alah – I will rise above and be lifted up, I will be presented as superior and worshiped, offered up and engendering sacrifices even as Allah (qal imperfect active)) in the spiritual realm in heaven (ha shamaym – among the stars in the sky and the abode of God), more than and above (min ma’al la – ascending upward beyond, greater than) the luminous personification and brilliant progeny (kowkab – the omniscience and the stars, the highest places, the brightest lights and heavenly powers) of God (‘el – of the Almighty).’”

This is consistent with “Allahu Akbar – Allah is Greater” and with the notion of the “Lord God,” whereby Satan wants to be seen as greater than Yahowah and 570actually lording over Him. His intent is to be seen as the greatest in heaven, the most brilliant star in the sky, and the most enlightened. This is the statement I have most often cited when discussing Satan’s ambition, which is to be exalted, and therefore, worshiped, over and above Yahowah. It reveals that Satan wants to ascend away from the lowly Adversary title to the lofty status of the Almighty.

The only problem with this idea is that if it stood alone and became widely known, it actually creates a problem for Hylel ben Shachar in that it suggests that there are two gods, one greater than the other. While that wouldn’t have been an issue for pagans, it’s a serious conundrum for rational monotheists.

Rather than one supreme being, there would have to be two or more competing deities in heaven. I say this because Satan’s assertion is that he wants to rise above, overcome, and be greater than God rather than simply be the one and only God. This is the problem inherent in Allahu Akbar, one that 1.5 billion Muslims are content to ignore. And yet I always ask them: “Greater than Whom?” For which they have no answer.

Second: “‘I will raise (ruwm – I will lift up in triumph and rebellion, magnifying (hifil imperfect)) my throne (kise’ ‘any – my seat of power, authority, and honor, my place to influence and rule; related to kasah – ability to conceal one’s true identity, hiding the information needed to understand, covering over and clothing oneself in a way which is misleading).’”

As a spiritual implement, Satan does not have a throne of his own, but he shares one with many. The idea that he wants to raise his seat of honor, enhance his authority, and increase his power suggests that this seat must coincide with those occupied by kings, presidents, popes, prime ministers and the like. This is all about wielding absolute power, claiming the utmost authority, and seeking acclaim.

571Also interesting, kise’ conveys more than “throne.” It infers the obvious, that Satan wants to hide his true identity, concealing the fact that he is the Adversary, so that he can mislead almost everyone, fooling them into worshiping him as if he were God. In reality, men like Paul and Muhammad have dressed the Devil up, sang his praises, and presented him as the object of religious devotion.

Third: “‘I will establish a dwelling place (yashab – I will settle upon and inhabit, abiding and remaining, creating a place for people to approach and meet (qal imperfect)) on the Mount of the Appointed Meetings (ba har mow’ed – in conjunction with the mountains and ridgeline of the designated and authorized times to meet for the celebratory feasts; from ya’ad – to appoint and designate, to set and fix, to gather for a betrothal ceremony) in association with (ba) the northern summit (yarekah tsaphown – the remote area and distant place associated with the north wind or left hand, on the side and flank of where the Canaanite gods lived, below; from yarek – base and procreative power and tsaphan – to lurk and hide one’s actual value from discovery).’”

First and foremost, this affirms that I was right. Satan’s intent has been to use Gentiles to harass “Jews.” This is what made Sha’uwl and his oracles this Lord’s perfect apostle and prophet.

Rome would be nice if you thrived on the ruins of failed empires, and Mecca would be grand if ignorance and desolation were your thing, but when it comes to being perceived as God, it’s all downhill from Mowryah. Satan would have his religious minions build the gaudiest golden-domed shrine right on top of the Temple Mount. He’d bypass Dowd’s home on the southernmost ridgeline and build the ultimate trophy in this perceived competition on the northern edge of the Mount of the Appointed Meetings, as close as possible to where Dowd fulfilled 572Passover and ‘Abraham affirmed the Covenant in order to be seen as better than both.

As one would expect with a rebuffed Adversary, Hylel ben Shachar is ridiculously competitive and will do anything to prevail. The Dome of the Rock was his greatest achievement. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, beneath it, is second only to it.

Fourth: “‘I will ascend (‘alah – I will rise above and be lifted up, drawing a following and overcome, seen as superior as Allah (qal imperfect)) above (‘al – over) the heights (bamah – elevated places of worship, the lofty shrines and cultic platforms of pagan religious devotion) of the clouds (‘ab – obscuring phenomenon which conceals heavenly objects from view).’”

This is Satan’s way of saying that he is bigger, more powerful, and more important than anything God created on Earth, including man. He is also suggesting that he intends to position himself such that he occludes and obscures God’s light, limiting what people below him know and see.

That brings us to the most revealing statement of all, one so extraordinary that it alone has made our journey worthwhile. Fifth: “‘I will on my own initiative make myself appear as if I were (damah – I will do whatever is necessary to be considered as, correspond to, and be the equivalent of, without any assistance I will consistently resemble and continually be comparable to, and on an ongoing basis I will be seen in the likeness of (hitpael imperfect – without any outside help or interference, on one’s own initiative and based solely on their ability and actions without any outside influence on a continual and habitual ongoing basis)) the Most High (la ‘elyown – representing the approach of the one true God, the same as the supreme being, greater and higher than the Almighty, inspiring awe, fear, and devotion with the splendor and 573status of God; from ‘elohym and ‘alah – Allah as God or more precisely: Allahu Akbar).’”

I do not know how this could be any clearer. Cognizant of this statement, knowing that it is authentic, and that it has been transmitted to us accurately, it’s blatantly obvious that Satan’s primary desire is to appear as if he were God. His ambition is to be the Lord of religion – all of them.

It is so unambiguous that I am bewildered as to why no one else understands this. The world has been beguiled into believing so many things that are untrue – and this is paramount among them. Satan does not want to be “ha Satan – the Adversary” but, instead, God Almighty.

The Adversary has no interest in Satan worship, the occult, séances, Luciferian societies, or any other such small-time and derogatory insults. He does not want to be known as the ha Satan. His intent was to be Allah in Islam, the Lord God in Christianity, and Ha Shem in Judaism. And as a result, he’s closer to the Christian depiction of Jesus Christ than is Yahowah.

Hylel ben Shachar is the universal god of governments and of the troop-loving god of militaries, especially the amalgamized and generic god of most societies. And he doesn’t care what you call him as long as it isn’t the Adversary, ha Satan, including: Bel, Ba’al, the Lord, God, Almighty, Jesus, Christ, Allah, Zeus, Dionysus, the Greater Power, Queen of Heaven, Mother of God, or even Mother Nature.

But it is all bluster and bravado. He’s the snake of She’owl, not the Father of Shamaym. He’s the lie, not the Truth, a reflection, not the Light. He was created and is neither creative nor the Creator. Yahowah made him to be a tool, one now that is irreparably damaged.

And so, of his fate, Yahowah says…

574“‘And yet, surely (‘ak – but indeed, as a matter of emphasis, immediately after the conclusion of an upcoming and subsequent period of time) to (‘el – toward, in the direction of, into, and inside) She’owl | the Realm of the Dead (She’owl – place of exile, abandonment, punishment, and questioning, the abode of no return, the wasteland and void; from sha’al – to question and to be questioned, to beg and to be given what has been requested and is required, indistinguishable from Sha’uwl, the failed king Saul and false prophet Paul), you are being forced down (yarad – you are brought down, compelled and having no say in the matter, descending not of your own accord (hofal imperfect – the subject, Hylel ben Shachar, is being acted upon, is devoid of freewill, and is compelled by force to descend just as the object, She’owl, is obligated to receive him forever)), to (‘el – unto and toward) the remoteness (yarekah – the distant border of space and time, to the far extremity) of the prison (bowr – of the dungeon of depression, the sepulcher and pit; from buwr – to make clear, to declare, explain, and to be given proof).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:15)

He had a good run. He became the most popular, praised, and worshiped being in the whole of the human experience. No one has amassed more devotees or followers. Countless religious edifices have been erected in his honor. Thousands of armies have marched to his cadence. And hundreds of governments have sworn an oath of allegiance to him. His influence is unsurpassed. His scriptures have sculpted our world. And in the end, people have chosen him over Yahowah by a million or more to one.

She’owl is therefore a prison designed to incarcerate spiritual, and thus immortal, beings comprised of light. It is remote and depressing, a dark dungeon, from which there will be no escape.

575But he will be disrobed, unmasked, and dimmed. The spirit who sought to be God will forever be the Adversary.

“‘Those who look at you (ra’ah ‘atah ‘el ‘atah – those who see you and those who are shown who you are) will stare (shagah – will look intently, observing closely so as to become better informed (hifil imperfect)) in your direction (‘el ‘atah – at you), trying to understand (byn – seeking to make the connections needed to comprehend, apprehending the information to consider (imperfect)) this (zeh – such things and these matters), the one who (ha ‘ysh – the individual or entity who [from 1QIsa]) caused the earth to be agitated, astonished, and angry because he was perturbed (ragaz ha ‘erets – who shook up, provoked, and anguished the material realm, who became enraged in the land creating instability and turmoil (hifil active)) by swaying and invoking fear within (ra’as – by creating discord and rattling, creating commotion and chaos, thereby ruining and destroying) empires and governments (mamlakah – kingdoms and geopolitical realms, world leaders, those who claim the authority to rule), (14:16) the one who (ha ‘ysh – the individual or entity who [from 1QIsa]) caused (ha sym – the one who is responsible for and made (qal perfect)) the world (tebel – the planet, Earth, every locale where people live) to be a lifeless place without the Word (midbar – a barren wasteland and uninhabited wilderness where the declaration and promises are not considered; a compound of ma – to seek answers by asking who, what, where, why, when, and how questions about dabar – the Word), who overthrew (haras – who caused the downfall of, beating and pulling down, plucking away, annihilating and ruining (qal perfect)) its anxious and anguished inhabitants (‘iyr huw’ – its terrorized and fearful villages, towns, and cities).

His captives are bound to him (‘asyr huw’ – those he holds in detention, his prisoners, those who are tied and obligated to him, who have sworn an oath to him; from 576‘asar – to be imprisoned and bound as a result of one’s oaths, allegiances, vows, and obligations) and are never free to go (lo’ pathach – are never open-minded regarding the revelation, are unable to respond to that which has been inscribed in writing, are never released from bondage, and cannot pass through the open door of) home (beyth – as part of the household and family of the Covenant).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:17)

Fear is the Devil’s intoxicant. Without it, he would have failed miserably. People are afraid to take a stand against the established majority, afraid to die, afraid of what might come after death, afraid of the illusion of hell. Satan preys on these fears.

The easiest place to disseminate fear is within a government. They possess the ability to imprison and kill those who rebel. And even those who submit to their authority are goaded into relinquishing their sons, their funds, and their freedoms to keep all manner of concocted adversaries at bay. They not only enact the laws, but they also prosecute them, taxing the individual for the right to control them.

And while that’s all sad but true, it’s the next phrase that got my attention. Hylel ben Shachar, the Flashy and Boastful Child of the East, is “the one who caused and is responsible for the world, the entire planet, to be a lifeless place without the Word.” Satan’s ambition wasn’t regional, limited to Babylon and Assyria, but instead for the entire world. And there is only one human institution with worldwide influence: religion. The institutions of many words are “midbar – lifeless places without the Word” of God, places where His “promises are not considered.”

It is also telling that an alliance with Hylel ben Shachar is a one-way street to She’owl. There is no going home, turning around, or going back. Those who have allied with 577him to further their ambitions are never free to go. After all, there is a reason Satan is best known as the Lord.

One of the many reasons that there is no way out once lured in, is because such individuals are shut off from Yahowah. Trapped in Babylon, driven by politics or religion, they are expressly excluded from the Covenant. Further, the egos of societal leaders lock them into a mindset and perspective that precludes them from responding to the truth, even if they were to stumble upon it.

The kind of open mind needed to understand Yahowah’s message requires more than a willingness to listen. To know God, we must be receptive and willing to adjust our thinking and perspective so that it aligns with His. It is one thing to be open to what Yahowah has to say, and another entirely to be willing to go where His words lead.

Many of the world’s most extravagant monuments are actually tombs, the pyramids in Egypt being chief among them. But even in more modern times, shrines have been erected to the dead. Consider the Lincoln Monument, Washington’s Obelisk, Jefferson’s Shrine, the Eternal Flame at JFK’s gravesite, or the glistening granite of Lenin’s Tomb, as examples.

“‘Every one of (kol – all of) the rulers (melek – the leaders, the heads of government, the political, social, religious, and military authority figures) of the gentiles and their nations (gowym – of the ethnicities distinct and estranged from Yisra’el, the geopolitical associations of people who act on their animal and religious instincts [plural in 1QIsa]), all of them (kol hem – each and every one of them [repetition not included in 1QIsa]), has been laid to rest (shakab – is horizonal, laying down) glorified and honored (kabowd – manifesting their power and surrounded by their possessions, wealthy and rewarded, 578even with splendor and riches), each individual (‘ysh) in his own household, temple, or tomb (ba beyth huw’ – within his own clan or dynasty, palace or temple, family lineage and ancestors).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:18)

Then speaking of Hylel ben Shachar, Yahowah says:

“‘But you (wa ‘atah), yourself, are cast out (shalak – you are thrown out and hurled away (hofal perfect)) from (min) the tomb of your death (qeber ‘atah – your sepulcher and burial, being buried, and from the specter of dying) like (ka – similar to and in the manner of) a loathed, rejected, and degraded (ta’ab – an abhorred and despised, vile and repulsive, abominable and desecrated) offshoot (netser – secondary or tertiary branch, shoot, scion, graft, implant, or twig), clothed wearing (labuwsh – adorned and covered with) the slain and slaughtered (harag – those intentionally murdered and viciously killed), those pierced (ta’an – those struck) with the sword (chereb – with the weapons of war), descending (yarad – bowing down, prostrating oneself, going down, being subjugated and abandoned) to (‘el – toward) the depressed prison (bowr – the dungeon, sepulcher, and pit [‘‘eben – stones’ from the MT isn’t in 1QIsa]) akin to (ka – like) a corpse (peger – a carcass, a dead corporeal body or lifeless idol) trampled down (buws – pressured and dominated, loathed and trodden down, kicked about and floundering, desecrated and rejected).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:19)

Yahowah is the Author of life while Satan is the plague of death. It is hard to imagine how many men, women, and children he is ultimately responsible for having killed. But in the end, he will wear their pain and be stained by their blood. It is a burden he will bear in the lightless prison of She’owl.

579He will not suffer alone, however. Those he corrupted and destroyed will join him as will many of the soldiers and militants who fought and killed singing his praises. But you’ll notice that most if not all of the world leaders Hylel ben Shachar has influenced over the years will arrive before him. This suggests that Satan will be allowed to roam the Earth, twisting and corrupting Yahowah’s message in order to be worshiped in His stead, until the last possible moment.

“‘You will not join them at the same time (lo’ yachad – you will not be united with them at once, but during another period of time, failing to reciprocate all at once) with them (‘eth hem) in burial (ba qabuwrah – in the grave, entombed in a sepulcher) because (ky – for the reason that) your realm (‘erets ‘atah – your land, region, and material realm) you have corrupted and destroyed (shachath – you have perverted, sullied, spoiled, and ruined, confounded and devastated, turning it into a slime pit, a putrid swamp of decay, a dungeon and cesspool for the decomposing).

Your compatriots and followers (‘am ‘atah – your people and nations, family and kin, countries and armies, associates and cultures) you have intentionally slaughtered and viciously slain (hereg – you have murdered).

These offspring (zera’ – descendants and progenies, children and posterity) of evil (ra’a – of those who are deliberately harmful and wrong, in wicked opposition, displeasing and noxious) will never be invited nor called out, remaining unwelcome (lo’ qara’ – they will not be received nor be present, neither acknowledged nor encountered, and therefore never met with while becoming completely unknown) for all eternity (la ‘owlam – forevermore, for an unlimited duration of time).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 14:20)

580The offspring of evil eternally precluded from receiving the benefits of the Miqra’ey, and thus excluded from heaven and ever knowing God, are Satan’s compatriots, those he corrupted, those who fought and died for him. As such, the myth that God wants to save everyone has been shattered. Moreover, we now know that “hell” will be a very crowded and popular place.

We entered this discussion expecting to learn more about the Adversary, anticipating that his association with Babel / Babylon and the Confusing Intermixing within the Lord’s Bible would be confirmed and explained. And while our expectations have been met, even exceeded, there have been some surprises. There were aspects of Satan’s name, Hylel ben Shachar / the Brilliant Son of Darkness and the Arrogance Originating Out of the East, of which I had been previously unaware.

I had also thought that the text would affirm that Satan wanted to be greater than God, which would place Hylel ben Shachar above Yahowah in pagan pantheons. While I interpreted this as him wanting to be worshiped as God rather than known as the Adversary, Satan actually stated this outright, affirming one of the most important early conclusions I had drawn while drafting Prophet of Doom, now rewritten and titled God Damn Religion. It revealed that I had been correct in seeing the Adversary as the Lord God of Christianity and as Allah in Islam. And more recently I have discovered that he is the Lord of Ezekiel’s sadistic story of mass murder, rape, and Replacement Theology.

Yahowah’s presentation of this world-altering conversation unambiguously associates Satan with the world’s political and religious leaders, and it holds him accountable for the countless men and women they have conspired to slaughter. As such, it was truly gratifying to see one of my most controversial insights validated in Yasha’yah’s prophetic witness.

581Also surprising was the role She’owl appeared to play in all of this. It was presented as calling out to Hylel ben Shachar, giddy with anticipation of reuniting with and welcoming Satan. But how could that be? Prisons are not imbued with personalities. As such, we were led to see Sha’uwl greeting Satan in She’owl as he arrives.

Now, once again, here is one of the most relevant and provocative eyewitness accounts Yahowah has made available to us.

“She’owl, the realm of the dead and place of abandonment, punishment, and questioning, the abode of no return, the least desirable and most depressing alternative, and also Sha’uwl, as the plague of death, are excited and anxious, trembling with anticipation to summon and meet you, announcing your arrival, calling you out by name while issuing and reciting an invitation for you to come, publicly proclaiming your entrance and inclusion, welcoming you.

It has been alerted and is aroused to crush the unjust who give false testimony, including all of the departed souls who have been leaders and rulers, authority figures obtaining a high status, of the earth.

It raises up and validates by means of their thrones and positions of power, all of the leaders and rulers, every one of the most persuasive, powerful, and important individuals who influence society, religious, government, and military leaders, including all of the authority figures and kings who demand submission and obedience, even the heads of institutions whose directives subjects follow, of the gentile nations outside of Yisra’el. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:9)

All of them without exception will answer and reply in the midst of their debasement, humiliation, and affliction.

582They will say to you, asking you, ‘Have you also become weak and afflicted, grieved over having become diseased, riddled with anxiety over the mental anguish, just like we are, becoming like the proverb, likened unto the story you had conveyed as a living example of this parable?’ (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:10)

Your arrogance, unwarranted status, and desire to rise above, your self-exaltation along with your personal glorification and lack of morality, your grating and agitating behavior, and your propensity to blow smoke have brought you down, precipitating your descent to She’owl, the Realm of the Dead, the place of everlasting abandonment, estrangement, incarceration, and to Sha’uwl, the false prophet known as Paul.

At the boisterous and disquieting sound of the riotous multitudes and the confusing and disturbing growl of the uproarious discord of your disgraceful and foolish implements, maggots will be spread out as a bed and worms, swallowing and devouring wildly inaccurate accusations, shall become your covers. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:11)

You have fallen and have been cast down from the spiritual abode of God, Hylel ben Shachar | Brightly Shining Son of Darkness and Flashy and Boastful Child of the East (the Blackness of the Shining One, the Ostentatious Showoff Predisposed to Mislead (who makes others appear foolish and is a descendant of a dark and gloomy place in the east predicated upon the rising sun and morning star, crying out a scheme he has conjured to satiate his longings)).

You have been cast down and disassociated, cut off and silenced, then subjected to enormous pressure, sent down to the earth and the material realm, you who is weakening, prostrating, and vanquishing the nations, disabling the weak who bow down in close association 583with the gentiles, ethnicities and geopolitical groups outside of Yisra’el. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:12)

Because you, yourself, said, boasted and declared, in your judgment and core, your perspective and ambition, in the inclination and resolution of your inner nature, your ambition and determination, even your desire to ravish and overpower, offer enlightenment, and encourage an emotional response, ‘I will be lifted up and be presented as superior and worshiped, engendering sacrifices, even as Allah among the stars in the sky and the abode of God. I will ascend and be exalted by rising above the luminous personification and brilliant progeny of God.

I will raise in triumph and in rebellion, magnifying my throne, my seat of power, authority, and honor, my place to influence and rule, all while continuing to conceal my true identity, hiding the information needed to understand.

And I will establish a dwelling, creating a place for people to approach on the Mount of the Appointed Meetings in association with the northern summit, the remote area and distant place associated with the north wind where the Canaanite gods lived, lurking to hide my actual merit from discovery. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:13)

I will ascend and be lifted up, drawing a following and I will be seen as superior, even as Allah above the heights and elevated places of worship, the lofty shrines and cultic platforms of pagan religious devotion of the clouds and obscuring phenomenon which conceals heavenly objects from view.

I will on my own initiative make myself appear as if I were, doing whatever is necessary to be considered as the equivalent of the Most High, the supreme being, 584greater and higher than the Almighty, inspiring awe, fear, and devotion.’ (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:14)

And yet surely, immediately after the conclusion of a subsequent period of time, unto She’owl, the Realm of the Dead, the place of everlasting abandonment, estrangement, of incarceration of Sha’uwl (the false prophet known as Paul), you are being forced down and compelled, having no say in the matter, and unto the remoteness, the distant border of space and time, to the far extremity of the lightless prison. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:15)

Those who are shown who you really are will stare, intently observing so as to become better informed about your direction and destination, seeking to make the connections needed to comprehend such things as these regarding the individual who caused the earth to be agitated, just because he was perturbed, creating instability and turmoil by swaying and invoking fear, by creating discord and chaos, so as to destroy empires and governments, world leaders and those who claim the authority to rule, (14:16) the one who is responsible for making the world a lifeless place without understanding the Word and who overthrew, pulling down, plucking away, and annihilating its anxious and anguished inhabitants.

His captives who are bound to him, those who are associated with him and obligated to him, who have sworn an oath to him are never free to go, they are never open-minded regarding the revelation, they are unable to respond to that which has been inscribed in writing, and are never released from bondage and thus unable to pass through the open door of the home and be part of the household and family of the Covenant. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:17)

585Every one of the rulers, the leaders, heads of government, political, social, religious, and military authority figures of the gentiles and their nations who act on their animal and religious instincts, each and every one of them has been laid to rest glorified and honored, surrounded by their possessions, wealthy and rewarded, each individual in his own household, temple, or tomb. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:18)

But you, yourself, are cast out from the tomb and the specter of you dying like a loathed, rejected, and degraded, abhorred and despised offshoot, clothed in death with those intentionally slaughtered and slain who were violently and viciously killed, those pierced with weapons of war, descending, bowing down, and prostrating oneself, abandoned in the lightless and depressed prison akin to a corpse trampled down, pressured and dominated, loathed and floundering, desecrated and rejected. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:19)

You will not join them at the same time, but during another period of time, failing to reciprocate all at once with them in burial because your realm you have corrupted and destroyed, you have perverted, sullied, and spoiled, confounded and devastated, turning your world in the material realm into a slime pit, a putrid swamp of decay, a dungeon and cesspool for the decomposing.

Your compatriots and followers, your people and nations, you have intentionally slaughtered and viciously slain. These offspring of evil, of those who are deliberately harmful and wrong in wicked opposition, will never be invited nor called out, remaining unwelcome for all eternity and unknown in the hereafter.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 14:20)

It all boils down to two profound and all-encompassing realizations, both of which are the antithesis 586of what most people have been led to believe. First, Satan has become the “Lord God” of religion, especially in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. He is the individual the faithful praise and worship, and to whom they bow.

And second, every world leader, past and present, secular and sectarian, has been influenced by Satan and will endure his fate. They are all destined for She’owl.
