Wanting to be Worshiped
Satan Playing God…
The 16th chapter of Yasha’yah opens with an interesting twist, by using a vivid and easy-to-remember word picture, that of a battering ram. It was deployed to encourage us to shatter the pithy quotes and disrespectful taunts of the powerful politicians and distinguished clerics associated with the modern manifestation of Mow’ab | Moab.
“‘You all should choose to send (shalach – of your own freewill dispatch, direct, and extend, reaching out with (qal imperative active second-person plural)) a battering ram (kar – a young male lamb or ram, or equally plausible, a device which can be used to break down walls and smash undesired impediments, or remotely: a camel’s saddle bag, a howdah, or palanquin; while there is no clear root or certain definition, kar may be from karar – whirling and dancing) unto the pithy quotes, disrespectful taunts, and popular sayings of the governmental rulers (mashal – unto the parables and proverbs of those claiming religious, military, or political authority, against the moral maxims and situational ethics underlying the control mechanisms of the establishment, upon the comparisons made by political and religious leaders, including their propensity for taunts, ridicule, and scorn (qal active construct)) of the region (‘erets – of the realm or land) by means of (min – by way of and through) Selah | Rejecting and Repudiating them, Tossing Aside (Selah – pausing to weigh such things in the balance and make light of them, flouting and ridiculing that which is trodden down, tossing 266aside the likes of [from 1QIsa while the MT has “Sela’ – Strongholds and Rocky Crags”]) the wordless wilderness (midbar – the desolate and lifeless place where the word is questioned) on behalf of (‘el – for the benefit of) the Mount (har – of the mountain) of the daughter (bath – the female offspring) of Tsyown | the Signs Posted Along the Way (Tsyown – of the signs which communicate the identity, location, and direction of the path and mark the way).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:1)
This is yet another example where God has encouraged us to be judgmental rather than accepting, to speak out against religion and politics rather than respect either. It is a shame that so few people are prepared or willing to follow God’s advice. If those in authority were held accountable, if their lies were repudiated, the world would be a nicer, safer, and better place for everyone.
The realization that “selah – to reject and repudiate” on the Great Isaiah Scroll predates the Masoretic Text’s “sela’ – stronghold or rocky crag” by 1,300 years prompts us to recognize that the purpose of the duplicity was likely to prevent Yisra’elites from being observant and thinking for themselves, and thereby rejecting the rabbinic delusions.
Earlier we read about how the Assyrian, a pseudonym for Satan, will pluck birds, representing his faithful, out of their nests and to their demise without any so much as letting out a peep. But now the game is over. The Adversary has been exposed and condemned. His flock is no longer compliant.
“‘And so, it shall be (wa hayah – then it will come to pass (qal perfect consecutive)) like (ka – similar to) birds (‘owph – winged creatures which fly) fleeing (nadad – escaping, randomly wandering away, cast aside, chased away, and banished from (qal active)) the nest (qen).
267The daughters (bath – the female offspring) of Mow’ab | Who is her Questionable Father – those Political Correctness, Socialist Secular Humanism, Multiculturalism, and especially Pauline Christianity have Caused to have Questionable Allegiances (Mow’ab – Who is this Father, Lowt’s son by his eldest daughter, an unthinking, warlike, and multicultural religious and political culture representing the insanity of Sodom, who were influenced by the Hebrew writings which were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to form Christianity, the place where the Towrah’s voice died; from ma – to question the who, what, and why of ‘ab – the father, related to mowba’ and mow’al – a path which leads in the opposite direction) will be (hayah – are) scattered (shalach – sent away and led astray (pual passive – these “birds” were led astray and sent away as a result of their passivity)) at the fords (ma’barah – at the place to cross the shallow waters or pass) of ‘Arnown | the Rushing Stream and Piercing Cry (‘Arnown – of those who are rushing and roaring, a river marking the border between Reuben and Gad and between Mow’ab and the Amorites; from renen – an ear-splitting, penetrating, and intense outburst).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:2)
Imagine what must be going through the flock’s collective consciousness. They have been beguiled into believing that their Lord was God. And now, cast out and banished from his nest, they are confronted with a reality so incongruous with their beliefs that all they can do is scream, emitting an ear-splitting, soul-penetrating, and anguished outburst.
But it ought not come to this. There is a better choice. There is a real God and He is knowable, likable, supportive, and approachable.
In the midst of these warnings, we receive some very good advice. And as is customary for our Creator, rather 268than issuing an edict or law which must be obeyed, He is providing some guidance we can accept or reject due to freewill.
“‘You should choose of your own volition to pursue (bow’ – elect to enter into, desire to be included in, return to, and decide to bring forth (hifil imperative – whereby the choices of the subject enable the object to do as they are doing)) counsel, providing advice (‘etsah – consider the proper course of action and then reveal the right plan, after being observant and studying every option, tell others how they should respond to the pillar of wood, convey the purpose behind the course of action that should be well-thought-out, providing consultation regarding the appropriate way to participate).
Choose to act upon and engage in (‘asah – do what needs to be done to produce and accomplish, expending considerable energy to bring about, gain and profit from, observing and celebrating (qal imperative active)) thoughtful decision-making (palylah – exercising good judgment, forming considered conclusions that lead to an informed and rational response to that which is true, deciding to judge for yourself and determine what is right; from palyl – properly assess the situation).
Of your own freewill, place (shyth – choose to make, establish, and put, setting (qal imperative)) your image and shadow (tsel ‘atah – that which shows the likeness upon which you are based, your protection and defense from the darkness; from tsalal – image, a lesser dimensional representation and likeness) such that it is in contrast to (ka – similar to) the darkness (ha layl – the night and time devoid of light) in (ba – within) the midst (tawek – the center or middle) of the olive press at noon (tsoharym – of the oil glistening at midday, revealing the height of being bright and happy).
269Protect and shelter (sether – conceal and hide so as to spare the lives of (piel imperative)), the scattered who have been forced out (nadach – those hunted down and driven away, the exiles and outcasts, the seduced and enticed who have strayed, those thrust aside).
Do not expose (‘al galah – do not disclose) those who have been cast aside or banished (nadad – the fugitive, those who are fleeing for having been chased away).’” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:3)
The “counsel” we should pursue on “the appropriate way to participate” in the relationship is found throughout the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms, even the Proverbs. Consider it all Fatherly Advice. But beyond this, the only way for guidance to be of any value is for us to understand it, to follow it, to accept it, and act upon it. In Yah’s world we should be judgmental in order to respond appropriately and rationally.
What follows is a bit perplexing. I suspect the lack of clarity is due to the migration of the language and the chasm of time separating us from the prophet. Yahowah is using a visual portrait, one that requires an appreciation for the source of light and the nature of dimensional space beneath it.
It also plays off of the visual imagery presented during creation, when Yahowah stated that He created us in His image – in His likeness, albeit in fewer dimensions. Therefore, my take on the previous statement is that Yahowah wants His children to shine brilliantly in the places that need it the most – those that are the darkest. Our light will serve as a contrast to the darkness found in those extolling man’s way.
There are seven profoundly important insights that can be gleaned from Yahowah’s next statement. First, some, specifically those who choose to gather together and dwell with Yisra’elites rather than isolate themselves from them, 270those who choose to live hospitably among Yahuwdym rather than attack them, and particularly those who also come to question the actual nature and purpose of the forefathers of the world’s most pervasive and delusional religious and political schemes, all of which have turned against Yisra’el, will be protected from this Adversary.
This drives right back to the heart of one of Yahowah’s most inspiring promises – to bless those who favor Yisra’el and the Covenant. Those who are observant, those who closely examine and carefully consider Yahowah’s Word, will not only play a role in sheltering and protecting them, but they will also be favored for having done so.
Second, since these men and women are in need of protection, since they are currently described as “guwr – invited guests,” and yet from Yah’s perspective are considered “Mine,” this affirms something we have long realized. God not only knows those who will choose Him before they engage in the Covenant, but He initiates contact, providing for them in advance of the relationship. He is protecting those who He knows will become His children so that they are afforded this opportunity.
But let’s be clear: very few souls will be acknowledged in this way. The number of those currently estranged from Yahowah who will choose to live as if they were Yisra’elites at a time when most of the world is gunning for them, could be as few as one in a million. Very few will dare to question religious and political authority sufficiently to disassociate from these schemes while at the same time, choosing to know and trust Yahowah.
Third, God is revealing yet another insight into the nature and identity of the Adversary. He is “shadad – demonic” and yet wants “to be worshiped as if he were God.” Satan is “shadad – an evil spirit, ruinous and destructive.” He is also “ha mets – the oppressive extortioner.” He’s not just an “authority figure,” and thus a 271“political or religious leader,” he “is the reason the chaff which is susceptible to him is blown away.”
Moreover, Satan “mets – subjects others to undue pressure such that they capitulate and obey him, and he separates many from God through extortion, coercion, and blackmail.” This means, of course, that Satan either presents himself as the ultimate authority, and is therefore the god of religion, or uses human authority figures, religious and political leaders, to do his bidding.
Fourth, even the Adversary has a purpose. He makes the choice of religion over a relationship with our Heavenly Father appear sufficiently credible to be believed – especially to those who are neither open-minded, thoughtful, nor observant. Freewill only has merit in an environment in which options appear equally enticing.
Fifth, once Satan’s reason for existing is fulfilled, he “kalah – will be restrained, removed, and imprisoned, eliminated from the realm of the living.” Headed to the lightless prison of She’owl, he “will be confined” with those he used.
Sixth, we are being led to make an important association between the Adversary and the ultimate beast presented by Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent and Courageous Man to Dany’el / Daniel, the one that emerges from Imperial Rome, and therefore the Roman Catholic Church. This connection is facilitated by “ramas – the one who treads upon and tramples down” the “kol ‘erets – all the earth.”
And seventh, there will be some, a precious few perhaps, thousands among billions, who will come out of Mow’ab to be part of the Covenant. I am one of them and I know many more. As is the case with almost every Gentile who writes me, after having had their lives transformed by Yahowah’s words presented in these 272books, they were once mired in Mow’ab, once a product of Christianity or Multiculturalism.
We all began by questioning our religious and political affiliations. And then we followed Yah’s words home, to the Beryth, through the Towrah, answering the Miqra’ey, to Yisra’el and to Yahuwdah, to Tsyown and to Dowd, through the Naby’ wa Mizmowr. We came out of her (Mow’ab) and became His people, grafted in and adopted into the Family.
Yahowah is taking the guesswork, the need for interpretation, out of this for us. The Lord uses human authority figures, and thus religious and political leaders, to elicit obedience. This demonic spirit presents himself as God, and most especially, the Lord God and Jesus Christ of Roman Catholicism, and thus Christianity – the world’s most popular religion.
“‘Allow those who choose to gather together and dwell (guwr – let those foreigners who have been invited as guests who have decided of their own freewill to assemble hospitably and congregate (qal imperfect jussive)) with you (ba ‘atah), those driven away from Me who are Mine (nadach ‘any – of those lured away from Me who are My outcasts) of Mow’ab | Questionable Father – out of Political Correctness, Socialist Secular Humanism, Multiculturalism, or Pauline Christianity have had Questionable Allegiances (Mow’ab – Those Who Question the Father, those who were indoctrinated in the amoral morass of Sodom, and who were influenced by the Hebrew writings and have acknowledged that they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to form Christianity, those who have questioned the father of the place where the Towrah’s voice died), to exist (hayah – becoming (qal imperative active)), sheltering them (sether la hem – providing a refuge and protected place for them, covering them in a manner which keeps them hidden and safe) from (min) the presence (paneh – the appearance) of 273the ruinous demonic one (shadad – of the destructive demon who seeks to be worshiped as God, of the evil spirit, the ravaging and devastating destroyer, of the oppressive and violent one who robs, who loots, plundering with overpowering injustice; from shed – the evil demonic spirit who seeks and accepts worship as if he were God).
For indeed (ky – because surely), the oppressive extortioner (ha mets – the one who causes trouble and is the reason for chaff, for blowing the susceptible away, the authority figure who subjects others to undue pressure to capitulate and obey, the one who separates many from God through extortion, coercion, and blackmail) will be no more (‘aphes – can no longer be seen, has vanished, going to a very distant place, has failed and come to an end, is nothing having been brought to naught).
This demonic spirit seeking to be worshiped as God (shed – the evil and destructive demon, the ruinous oppressor, the destroyer, the one who claims authority and demands obedience) is finished, his purpose complete, and he will now be imprisoned, forever restraining (kalah – his purpose having been fulfilled and finished, he will be restricted and withheld, confined, and forbidden, eliminated from the realm of the living) the one who treads upon and tramples down (ramas – he who has been harmful and destructive, claiming to be authorized while aggressively engaged in oppressive conquest) the whole of the earth (min ha ‘erets – much of the material realm and part of the land).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:4)
It is so monumental in its implications it bears repeating: this was written of the Beast, which was foretold by Gabry’el to Dany’el to grow out of Imperial Rome, none other than the Roman Catholic Church, that would “ramas – tread upon and trample down” the entire world. Let it be known: Satan is the driving and oppressive spirit behind 274the religious institution that proudly displays their dead god on a stick.
But now, the demonic spirit wanting to be worshiped as if he were God is finished. Thankfully, he will be imprisoned forevermore. Imagine a world without religion.
“‘Then (wa) genuine mercy and enduring love (chesed – unfailing kindness and affection in a mutually beneficial and giving relationship which is faithful and passionate) will be established (kuwn – will be fashioned and formed, authenticated and supported, decided upon and arranged, thoughtfully proven, sustained and enduring) on the seat of honor (kise’ – on the place of status and distinction, the royal and authorized throne, the elevated and empowered position; from kasah – to be covered and clothed in a manner which conceals).
And (wa) upon it (‘al huw’ – on account of it), he will live (yashab – he will be restored and renewed, he will abide and dwell, he will settle and remain within the covenant relationship, he will sit and abide (qal perfect active)) in (ba – with and by means of) reliable truth (‘emeth – that which is trustworthy, right, and correct, valid, certain, and dependable, constant and enduring, never-changing; from ‘aman – to trust and rely, to confirm and support, to validate and be certain, to be right by choosing the right hand) within (ba – as part of and among those included in) the brilliant dwelling and home (‘ohel – the shining tent and household, the house and family, tabernacle and dwelling, habitation and covering; from ‘ahal – to be clear, to be bright, and to shine) of Dowd (Dowd – the Beloved), by exercising good judgment (shaphat – by correctly deciding between right and wrong while arguing on behalf of justice, by being judgmental in defending the truth, judging for the purpose of vindicating and condemning, making decisions regarding that which is controversial so as to plead the proper case) while (wa – also and in addition) seeking and accounting for (darash – 275learning information not previously known, searching for the truth, investigating and being inquisitive, pondering the implications, thinking long and hard about the consequences, caring about what is discovered, taking action regarding the relationship) the means to appropriately resolve disputes (mishpat – to exercise good judgment and make informed and rational decisions regarding vindication and condemnation; from shaphat – correctly deciding between right and wrong while arguing on behalf of justice), (wa) becoming expeditious, experienced, and effective (mahyr – being prompt and prudent, well-versed and skilled, diligent and knowledgeable, prepared and skillful) regarding that which is right and vindicating (tsedeq – in what is correct, honest, accurate, and fair, that which is consistent with the standard and does not deviate from the way to becoming perfectly innocent).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:5)
This is as it should be. After revealing the consequence of ignoring and rejecting Him, Yahowah conveys the benefits associated with trusting Him and His Son, Dowd, our Savior.
God is merciful, at least to those who seek to sit alongside Dowd | David, to those who seek the truth so as to be restored by him. But as was the case with Dowd, it isn’t about being good but instead about being right.
This proclamation by the great prophet affirms what we have come to learn and celebrate – Dowd fulfilled the Mow’edym. By taking our guilt with him into She’owl, we were vindicated and made right with God. We can enter Dowd’s brilliant Covenant Home by exercising good judgment and capitalizing upon what he did for us to resolve our issues with God on Pesach and Matsah. This is the means to Yahowah’s enduring love and affection.
276If we were to be resolutely rational, we would see the Pauline Epistles as the uncircumcised Goliath doing battle against Dowd’s Mizmowr / Psalms. The sling and the words of Yah’s Beloved represent the stones that killed the perceived giant of a man. Paul’s Greek letters and Dowd’s Hebrew lyrics are adversaries on opposing sides, one representing Satan and the other, Yahowah.
We find God by searching for the truth, by exercising good judgment, especially with regard to the means Dowd facilitated to resolve the disputes which would otherwise keep us apart. Those who find their way home, who live with God forever, are diligent, knowledgeable, and prepared when it comes to the means the Messiah has provided to vindicate his family.
It is worth reconsidering…
“‘You all should choose to dispatch, direct, and extend a battering ram unto the pithy quotes, disrespectful taunts, and popular sayings of the governmental rulers, against the comparative claims of religious, military, or political leaders, and unto the moral maxims and situational ethics underlying the control mechanisms of the establishment by Selah | those Rejecting and Repudiating them, pausing to weigh such things in the balance and make light of them, ridiculing that which trod down, tossing aside the likes of those within the wordless wilderness, on behalf of the Mount of the Daughters of Tsyown | the Signs Posted Along the Way. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:1)
It shall be like birds fleeing, chased away and banished from the nest.
The daughters of Mow’ab, those whom Political Correctness, Socialist Secular Humanism, Multiculturalism, and especially Pauline Christianity have Caused to have Questionable Allegiances will be scattered, sent away and led astray as a result of their 277passivity at the fords of ‘Arnown | the Rushing Stream and Piercing Cry, with an ear-splitting, penetrating, and intense outburst. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:2)
You should choose of your own volition to pursue counsel, providing advice, not only conveying the purpose behind the course of action that should be considered, but also providing consultation regarding the appropriate way to participate.
Choose to act upon and engage in thoughtful decision-making, exercising good judgment while forming considered conclusions that lead to an informed and rational response to that which is true, deciding to judge for yourself and determine what is right.
Of your own freewill, choose to place your likeness such that it is in contrast to darkness in the midst of the olive press at noon, glistening at midday, revealing the height of being bright and happy.
Elect to protect and shelter, sparing the lives of the scattered who have been forced out and driven away, the exiles and outcasts. And do not reveal or expose those who have been cast aside or banished. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:3)
Allow those who choose to gather together, who have been invited as guests, and who have decided of their own freewill to assemble hospitably and dwell with you among those driven away from Me, who are Mine out of Mow’ab | Who Question this Father, to exist, sheltering them from the presence of the ruinous demonic one, from the destructive demon who seeks to be worshiped as God, from this evil spirit.
For indeed, the oppressive extortioner, this authority figure who capitalizes by subjecting others to undue pressure, causing them to capitulate and obey 278through coercion and blackmail, will be no more, having been banished to a very distant place.
This demonic spirit seeking to be worshiped as God, this evil and destructive demon who demands obedience, will be finished, his purpose fulfilled, and thus he will now be imprisoned, eliminating from the realm of the living the one who treads upon and tramples down the whole of the earth. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:4)
Then genuine mercy and enduring love, unfailing kindness and affection in a mutually beneficial and giving relationship which is thoughtfully proven, sustained, and enduring, shall be established on the seat of honor, the place of status and distinction, the elevated and empowered position.
Upon it, he will be restored and renewed, living and abiding within the covenant relationship in reliable truth, in that which is right, valid, and certain, dependable and constant, never-changing within the brilliant dwelling and home of Dowd, the Beloved.
He will do so by exercising good judgment, correctly deciding between right and wrong while arguing on behalf of justice, being judgmental in defending the truth, while learning information not previously known, by searching for the truth and pondering the implications of the means to appropriately resolve disputes, becoming expeditious, experienced, and effective, diligent, knowledgeable, and prepared regarding that which is right and vindicating.’” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:5)
279This is the proper approach to God. It is through evidence and reason which, along with character and courage, made Dowd Yahowah’s beloved.
It has been said that religion is the leading cause of death and destruction on Earth. But I suspect that the same could be said of governments and empires, especially because of the armies they deploy. From the first human civilization to the last, it has been an unending stream of violence. And it all flows downward from the immoral and arrogant despots, from the self-aggrandizing who claim a Divine sanction to rule to those who overhype their perceived triumphs and glorify the carnage they have inspired.
Sha’uwl | Question Him, who as we know chose the Roman name, Paul, whose masterpiece of deception was his political and religious ode to the Romans, who fathered the Christian religion and created the culture that not only encouraged Rome to destroy Yisra’el, but which also made Islam possible, was by his own admission, exceedingly proud. He glorified agitating violence against Jews. No one in all of human history has more negatively affected the lives of God’s Chosen People than Sha’uwl | Paul. He is the author of the most heinous anti-Semitic cult ever conceived.
Paul was presumptive and unreasonable in his attribution of status to the manifest destiny of his new covenant. He was prone to immoral outbursts and angry attacks, all motivated by an inflated sense of superiority. His speech, which was never warranted or supported by actual facts, was universally braggadocio. And it was in his letters where the voice of the Towrah died for billions of beguiled souls. It should be obvious by now that as we 280consider what Mow’ab represents, we should all see Sha’uwl / Paul the Questionable Father of Christianity in this prophetic portrait. He has made modern Mow’ab as religious and conflicted toward Israel as was the ancient kingdom. With his self-aggrandizing and violent impulses having come to dominate American culture, modern Mow’ab has become especially menacing.
“‘We have heard (shama’ – we have listened and become aware) of the violent agitation and arrogance (ga’own – of the moral depravity, undeserved status, pompous rhetoric, and pride) of Mow’ab | Who is this Questionable Father – those Pauline Christianity has Caused to have Questionable Allegiances (Mow’ab – Who Is Your Father, this unthinking and warlike, multiethnic religious culture indoctrinated in the irrational aspects of Sodom, having squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to create Christianity, taking them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died; from ma – to question the who, what, and why of ‘ab – the father, related to mowba’ and mow’al – a path which leads in the opposite direction).
He has become exceedingly proud (ge’ me’od – he is now extremely haughty and especially arrogant, self-aggrandizing, self-promoting, and self-important, utterly overstating and overhyping his past, especially his perceived triumphs [verb conjugation and textual order derived from 1QIsa]), especially (wa) with his glorification of agitating violence (ga’awah huw’ – in his delusional projection of himself as magnificent and moral while conceitedly glorifying his prior achievements).
In addition (wa), his presumptive and unreasonable attribution of merit and status, even manifest destiny (ga’own huw’ – his inordinate nature, self-infatuation, and sense of preeminence as plumes of carbon rise as a result of his self-indulgent and warlike 281behavior), and (wa) his improper and immoral outbursts and angry attacks which occur far and wide and display an inflated sense of superiority (‘ebrah huw’ – his vicious behavior, uncontrolled anger, overall frustrations, and military fury – all without a legitimate basis and all influencing the world around him, his propensity as a result of his overbearing arrogance is to have his wrath overflow his borders, spilling out well beyond the region of the world in which he lives to the opposite side of the earth; from ‘eber – to the region beyond, across the globe, on the opposite side) are not right (lo’ ken – are improper, dishonest, delusional, and without merit, incorrect and invalid, even demonstrably inaccurate), nor his bragging and boasting, most especially his prideful speech which is not warranted by actual facts (bad huw’ – his unfounded self-confidence and false, unrealized predictions, his pronouncements in the name of a false god, speaking of things which do not come true, his propensity to make up stories and invent alternate realities, his self-reliance and willingness to climb out on a limb with others of the same party or affiliation, while at the same time creating divisions and separation through a web of lies).’” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:6)
While there are aspects of this which would have applied to Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon, to Greece, Sparta, Carthage, and Rome, to the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs, and to Imperial Japan, the Soviets, and Nazis, they did not survive long enough to be touted as realistic candidates for the Mow’ab of prophecy.
But if we listen to the rhetoric, there are strokes that may also be applicable to the unGodly mix of Trump’s self-serving boasts of America first. Consider his saber rattling and propensity to build an ever-larger military to position the nation as the guardian of commerce the world over. It is seen in the boisterous extrapolation of America’s false 282sense of Manifest Destiny, its propensity to govern through political parties, the country’s obtrusive federal agents and police along with its belligerent military. The US has a propensity for agitating and arrogant diatribes. The nation’s fatal flaw remains its collective inability to see things in context and thus to understand the consequences of its impulsive and intrusive use of force. The problem is universal in America’s mindset, and it is only going to get worse. In politics, the Shitym always rises to the top!
If you think that this assessment may be presumptuous, compose a list of other potential candidates, looking for a nation similarly influenced by Christianity and Multiculturalism, which is equally arrogant and militaristic, and compare their views on Manifest Destiny to Yahowah’s predictions. Even if you can, you may want to show some reserve, at least long enough to hear what Yahowah has to say about these people, their proclivities and consequences, in the 17th and 18th chapters of Yasha’yah / Isaiah.
Beyond religions, governments, and militaries, there are, of course, glimpses of Satan in all of this. He prefers death to life, violence to peace, pompous rhetoric to the humble truth. He has always been immoral, overstating and overhyping his actual status. The Adversary projects himself as politically correct and enlightened, hoping that the masses believe his sense of empowering preeminence.
Moreover, as the most infamous man Satan would ever possess, this all reads like Paul’s letters. He continually bragged of his self-importance, of his signs and wonders, while boasting, “But I, Paul, say…” Throughout his library of fourteen epistles and his diatribes in Acts, his unrealized predictions and assertions in conflict with the facts, his boasting and inaccurate statements, he made up stories to invent an alternate reality, weaving a web of lies to promote a false god and replacement religion. For Christians the world over, it is in Paul’s letters that the Torah died. It is in 283Paul’s letters that hatred and violence against Jews becomes a religious mantra. Paul was indeed the Questionable Father of Christianity.
Once again, should you consider this over-expressive and presumptuous, you may want to table those thoughts long enough to consider what Dowd | David had to say about Sha’uwl. In Coming Home, we will delve deeply into Paul’s debilitating concept of Replacement Theology and come to understand why Yahowah calls him the Son of Evil and the Father of Lies.
If you are a Yahuwd | Jew and have been somewhat put off by the propensity to expose and condemn Sha’uwl | Paul and the religion he perpetrated throughout Observations, if you think that my critique of him over the rabbis who begot Judaism does not pertain to you, I appreciate your concerns. It is entirely my fault. While I came to realize that Paul was anti-Torah more than a decade ago, and while I wrote the four volumes of Questioning Paul, subsequently rewritten and retitled Twistianity, to prove it, it was not until quite recently that I became sufficiently aware of the full implications of Replacement Theology and its effect on Jews and Israel.
Please trust me when I tell you that I am no longer naïve in this regard. Long before you have turned the final pages of Coming Home, you will see Sha’uwl | Paul, and the religion he conceived based upon Replacement Theology, as the principal reason Jews have suffered more than any other people these past two thousand years. You may even come to despise him more than does our Creator.
I have previously stated that Paul has done more to harm Jews than Vespasian and Hadrian, Muhammad and Hitler, combined – and almost as much as Akiba and Maimonides. If it were not for Paul, they would have all failed. If not for Paul, Jews would have come to recognize Dowd as the Passover Lamb. But because of Paul, they 284have come to despise everything about the Dionysian deity, “Jesus Christ,” that he popularized. And because of Paul, the stage was set for hatred and conflict. Blame the Jews became the central spoke of Christianity, Islam, and conspiracy theorists.
If you have not read Twistianity, you may not yet know, that of all the humans who have ever lived, there is no one God despises more than this solitary soul. There are more dire warnings regarding the founder of Christianity than anyone else.
Now for this tantalizing tidbit, one I did not foresee coming. Sha’uwl / Question Him / Paul was not just the Questionable Father of Christianity, he also laid the foundation for Multiculturalism and Political Correctness, the core tenets of Socialist Secular Humanism. And that is why Yahowah has with these statements connected the dots for us, equating Mow’ab with the Multicultural and Politically Correct, the immoral and irrational mantra of Sodom, and now also with Sha’uwl | Paul. I will share the rationale behind these conclusions at the conclusion of this chapter and the next.
For those duped into believing that God is a Lord who wants to be worshiped and obeyed, for those who have no concept of what our Heavenly Father is actually like, much less is offering and expecting in return, sorrow awaits. But based on the Dead Sea Scrolls, Yahowah is not interested in listening to their morbid musings. He knows that those lost in modern Mow’ab have brought this on themselves.
The question becomes, how are we to think of them and address them? Should we pity them and seek to help them, as was the case with the dedication I wrote to God Damn Religion? Or should we keep our distance from them? Perhaps the answer is somewhere in between, sympathetic toward those who have been misled and yet open to the truth, while remaining overtly critical of 285Mow’ab’s political and religious leadership, especially their societal platitudes, military adventurism, and religious rites. The masses have been duped – indeed played. They are trapped in an irrational web of faith and belief.
Those things considered, here is Yah’s answer…
“‘Therefore, let not (la ken lo’ – since this is so, indeed in concert with a logical interpretation of the facts, and likewise by comparison with regard to the sequence of events and referencing what has happened and will occur, do not allow [“not” is from 1QIsa]) Mow’ab / the Questionable Origins of Political Correctness, Multiculturalism, Socialist Humanism, and Christianity (Mow’ab – Who Is Your Father, Lowt’s son by his eldest daughter, an unthinking, warlike, multicultural, religious and political society indoctrinated from within and defined by Sodom, those who have squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died; from ma – to question the who, what, and why of ‘ab – the father, related to mowba’ and mow’al – a path which leads in the opposite direction) cry out in sorrow (yalal – howl and wail like a distressed animal in a lifeless place, lament while mourning in distress; note: yalal is one of two verbs defining Satan’s name – Hylel) for Mow’ab | on behalf of the Questionable Origins of Political Correctness, Multiculturalism, Socialist Humanism, or Christianity (Mow’ab – for this religious and political culture indoctrinated within and defined by Sodom, who have squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died).
Instead, each and every individual (kol huw’ – yet men without exception) should cry out, lamenting (yalal – should express sorrow, elegiac, mourning (hifil imperfect 286active)) the nature and approach of (la – concerning the proximity of) the unknown masses (‘ashysh – the unaffiliated and thus unknown populations existing in proximity to one another who are under great pressure and depressed; from ‘esh and ‘eshdath – burning in a flaming fire as a result of the implementation and acceptance of man’s laws (sometimes associated with ‘ashyshah – cakes of dried and shriveled grapes mixed with old grape juice and offered to pagan gods)) of Qyr Charas | the Destructive and Divisive Lure of the Lyrics Inscribed by Malevolent Schemers and Illusionists (Qyr Charas – that which was molded of clay to be contentious; from qyr – that which is broken and will be thrown away, the flip side of that which is adversarial and destructive, vomit which is of the earth, disparaging and divisive, cold and cast out as a result of the webs they weave to bait, lure away, and ensnare behind a smokescreen of incense, and Cheres – to envision and write malevolent schemes, to conceive and engrave plans which cut those who read them into the resulting cult in such a way that the writer’s actual motives are concealed so as to silence critics using the lifeless and fabricated natural things of the earth, an itching eruptive disease from too much exposure to the sun, to blaspheme through defiant taunts, to be wrongly betrothed at harvest time in the autumn, to be plucked away, rebuked and disgraced, cut down while gnashing one’s teeth as a result of one’s decision regarding certain decrees, suffering birth pangs while being fettered and charred, burned by the sun, being deaf and kept silent pursuant to an evil plot schemed up by those associated with the occult who conspire in secret).
Ponder the serious implications associated with this message (hagah – give considerable thought to this material, speaking to those willing to listen, roar, exposing the plot explaining why its utterings will be removed) among (‘ak – immediately following and along with, pertaining to a time in which one event follows another, by 287way of emphasis regarding the deceptive, deceitful, and cruel, prone to slander) the afflicted who are unmercifully abused (naka’ – those who are beaten, scourged, injured, and smote unjustifiably).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:7)
The answer to our question, at least according to Yahowah, is blunt and direct. He does not want to hear Mow’ab, today’s multicultural and politically correct, today’s conservative Christians or liberal Socialists, complain about how they were misled and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, Yahowah does want us to lament the fate of the unknown masses, those not yet defined by Mow’ab, ‘Amown, ‘Esa’ow, Yisra’el, or Yahuwdah. In election parlance, these are the independents.
While Yah wants us to feel sorry for them, which suggests that we should try and help them, He isn’t explicitly asking us to reach out to them because it may be too late. And with Mow’ab, they are not worth the effort. They are all far too lost in their political and religious delusions, and way too defensive of their beliefs, for there to be even the smallest crack for truth to take root or grow.
Yahowah has defined the unknown masses as “qyr charas – disparaging and divisive, molded to be contentious.” They are a formed and fragile earthen altar” to the ways of man. They have been “baited and lured away, ensnared behind a smokescreen of homage to the lifeless and fabricated natural things of the earth, becoming little more than shards of broken pottery and fractured earthen vessels that men have made and then destroyed.”
They are unknown to Yahowah because they have been “infected with an eruptive disease derived from too much exposure to the sun, by blasphemy through defiant taunts,” and will be “cut down while gnashing their teeth as a result of the decisions they have made regarding man’s 288decrees, suffering birth pangs while being fettered and charred, burned by the sun, pursuant to an evil plot schemed up by those associated with the occult who conspired in secret.”
Since the Creator of the universe asked us to ponder these insights, please take them to heart and apply them to your life. If you want to please Yahowah, if you want to be productive, follow His advice.
Returning to Mow’ab, especially as we transition to the next statement, this reference to the progenitor of the way of Mow’ab, like the previous one, is “Sha’uwl – Question Him,” the Plague of Death and father of the religion that will bewilder and mislead the most people in the end, keeping them from being known to God. It is hard to miss Pauline Christianity’s love affair with the substitute wine and round wafers of Communion and the Eucharist – both ancient pagan substitutions for Pesach and Matsah.
Also recognizing that while the Roman Catholic Church grew out of Imperial Rome, and thus is the final Beast, and that it is religious Babylon (albeit not political nor geographic Babel), and that it is the offspring of ‘Esa’ow and thus the modern incarnation of ‘Edowm, Roman Catholicism is the mother of Christianity, a religion that was fathered by Sha’uwl | Question Him.
Therefore, from an expansive view, this particular “Questionable Father” could be the last in a long line of revolting and pompous popes, the “Holy Father.” After all, Pope Francis is politically, morally, and economically a Multicultural and Politically Correct Socialist Humanist.
In Howsha’ / Hosea 3:1, the “‘ashyshah – cakes of dried and shriveled grapes mixed with old grape juice and offered to pagan gods” was presented in association with ‘Asherah, the progenitor of Orthodox Christianity and Roman Catholicism’s “Virgin with Child, Mother of God, and Queen of Heaven.” They have been burnt by 289overexposure to the sun – Satan’s favorite guise, the author of Sunday, Christmas, and Easter observances.
When there is talk of “expansive growth and cultivated fields” in concert with the last days, the observant and thoughtful may see America as the subject of this condemnation, especially since these schemers are known for their weapons of war.
“‘Indeed (ky – surely as a result), the cultivated fields and expansive growth (shedemah – the land upon which crops were grown and the spreading out, even the concubines and harem) of Cheshbown | of the Schemers and their Weapons at this time of reckoning (Cheshbown – of the siege machines and evil plans of those who deploy them, of the snipers and their intent to kill, and of those who throw stones based upon their own accounts and reasoning, of those best known for their military armaments and ability to kill; from chashab – to invent and value one’s plans, to consider and to esteem man’s most respected ways; a Mow’abite town east of the Yarden / Jordan) will shrivel up and wither away as a result of being indecisive and lacking the will to make the right decision (‘amal – will languish as they are weakened for choosing poorly, having no personal discipline, and being overly fixated on satiating their sexual desires, the weak-willed becoming feeble and frail, dwindling and diminishing).
The twisted vine and moral poison (wa gephen – the bent tendril of corruption once associated with Sodom) of Sabamah | of those who are Overly Affluent and Satiated with Alcohol (Sabamah – of those with abrasive wealth, some of whom are odiferous while others are obnoxiously sweet, highly viscous and akin to solvents, acids, and alcohols; from saba’ – to be satisfied with excess, sab’ah – to be glutenous and hedonistic), those who own and control (ba’al – the masters and rulers, the lords who possess) the gentile nations (gowym – the pagan 290peoples who are culturally, geographically, and ethnically estranged from Yisra’el), will strike out in an inebriated and destructive manner (halam – will be incapacitated because they are intoxicated, all while trampling and beating down their befuddled and drugged victims).
Their shoots (sarowq hy’ – their choicest vines and their selected tendrils) will continually (‘ad – forever and for an unlimited period of time, as prey for the predators, even as eternal plunder and an everlasting spoil) reach and entangle, infecting and plaguing (naga’ – extending to and touching, making contact with and befalling, inflicting, striking and afflicting, organically spreading as a fungus will traumatize biological life as a pandemic) Ya’azyr | the Empowered who are Disrespectful and Emboldened (Ya’azyr – the ferocious, vicious, and overly aggressive and those who support them; a compound of ya’az – the empowered who are fierce, barbarous, insolent, and rude, the vicious and audacious, the violent who are brutal and cruel and ‘ezer – those who help and support them), misleading them, causing them to err and go astray (ta’ah – deceiving them by promoting faith in that which is invalid such that they are confused and stagger aimlessly around) to a wasteland where the word is questioned (midbar – to a wilderness in the desert, the desolate place without sufficient water and nutrients to sustain life, to a place without the word and that which has been spoken; a compound of ma – to question the who, what, why, and where with dabar – of the word).
But their shoots (sheluchowt hy’ – her wild and untrained tendrils emerging from the same trunk; from shelachym – inner person, core nature and personality, perhaps even their physical bodies and shiluwach – to send away) will be rejected and forsaken (natash – will be abandoned, cast off, and left behind, will be cast down, disassociated, and excluded from association or relationship) as they are passed over in intoxicating 291(‘abar – as they traveled through, crossed over, and alienated by) seas (yam – the oceans, in particular the Mediterranean, serving as a synonym for Gentiles and estranged peoples and nations).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:8)
If this is addressing the militaristic and bombastic propensity of the United States, it’s going to come as quite a shock to those who have wrongly been led to believe that their god is blessing them. But the inability to think as a result of being besieged by Political Correctness, and its consequence, the propensity of Americans to be indecisive, lacking personal discipline while being unrestrained and irresponsible, naturally leads to this eventuality. Since being observant and thoughtful leads to God, those who are uninformed, and lack the will to make rational decisions, will be led in the opposite direction.
All the while, other than the Roman Catholic Church, there is no institution in our world other than the United States capable of influencing the preponderance of Gentiles and their nations. And when one adds “gluttony, hedonism, and intoxication” to the mix, they stand together, exposed and alone. This is not only modern Mow’ab, but also religious and political Babylon.
The conclusion of this statement is reminiscent of the Pope being granted the opportunity to speak to a joint session of Congress, of the superpower and super faith working together to mislead the world – turning the eyes of the unsuspecting away from the Word.
Let’s be clear, America is the land of “shedemah – cultivated fields” and “expansive growth.” It is the land of “Cheshbown – schemers and snipers” and of “weapons and siege machines.” It is the nation most prone to “throw stones based upon its own accounts and reasoning.”
Therefore, the United States is the nation most likely to “‘amal – shrivel up and wither away as a result of being 292indecisive.” It has become the place that “lacks the will to make the right decision, and which is currently being weakened for having chosen poorly, for having no personal discipline, and being overly fixated on satiating sexual and sensory desires.”
No nation has ever been as “Sabamah – affluent” or “satiated with alcohol,” as “sweet sounding and yet odiferous.” To all the world, America is “gluttonous and hedonistic, the model of excess.” And no other nation, not since Carthage or Rome, has “ba’al – owned or controlled” more of the “gowym – gentile world,” or be more prone to “halam – strike out in an inebriated and destructive manner.”
America’s shoots have entangled the world economically, politically, and militarily. And yet, the world’s lone “Ya’azyr – superpower is as disrespectful of the rights of others as it is emboldened to ferociously, aggressively, and audaciously project its influence and tentacles.” It is the land of Gentiles across the sea.
Before we press on through the text, we are confronted by a seldom-considered reality. The Yisra’elite who copied the text of Yasha’yah from one scroll to another, creating the Great Isaiah Scroll, wasn’t perfect. Yasha’yah 16:8-9 serve as proof. The eye of the scribe of 1QIsa apparently skipped from Sabamah in verse 8 to Sabamah in verse 9 and omitted everything in between. His omission is affirmed in the LXX and MT.
Yahowah takes no pleasure in the loss of life that has besieged our planet. But before we jump to any conclusions and extend such sympathy beyond where it is deserved, realize that Ruth, an amazing, intelligent, and courageous woman who spoke on behalf of Yahowah, was the great-grandmother of Yahowah’s beloved, Dowd.
She was partly Mow’abite. Her story reflects her quest to faithfully follow her mother-in-law back to Yahuwdah 293after her husband’s death. She engages in a relationship with Yahowah along the way, declaring to Naomi: “Where you go I will go and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God, my God.” (Ruth 1:16) It is the same declaration this exile from Mow’ab makes every day.
“‘Therefore (‘al ken – for this reason it just so happens that), I express sorrow for the loss of life (bakah – I mourn out of a sense of sadness on behalf of the dead, lamenting) associated with (ba – with and among) the emotional anguish and expressions of sorrow (beky – the desire to tearfully repent and associated weeping; from bakah – sad and sorry over the loss of life) in (ba) Ya’azyr | the Empowered who are Disrespectful and Emboldened (Ya’azyr – the ferocious, vicious, and overly aggressive and those who support them; a compound of ya’az – the empowered who are fierce, barbarous, insolent, and rude, the vicious and audacious, the violent who are brutal and cruel and ‘ezer – those who help and support them).
The moral poison of the bent vine (gephen – the corruption associated with that which has grown out of and spread far and wide from Sodom and the life emerging from it along with the fruit on its tendrils; from gaph – elevated individuals, those in the highest places with individual status) of Sabamah | of those who are Overly Affluent and Satiated with Alcohol (Sabamah – of those with abrasive wealth, some of whom are odiferous while others are obnoxiously sweet, highly viscous and akin to solvents, acids, and alcohols; from saba’ – to be satisfied with excess and sab’ah – to be gluttonous and hedonistic), I will drench you (rawah ‘atah – I have had more than enough of you, so you will fully experience and be saturated in) in My tears (dim’ah ‘any – with My weeping and sorrow; from dama’ – discharge from an open wound which is raw and sore).
294Cheshbown | at a Time of Reckoning for the Grand Schemes and their Weapons (Cheshbown – of accounting for inappropriate decisions, misguided reasoning, and the improper devices of schemers and their military armaments, of those who throw stones based upon their own accounts and perceptions, along with a logical, reasonable, and rational response to the plots and plans of those who seek to defend themselves with snipers, siege machines, and the will to kill; from chashab – to invent and value one’s plans, to consider and to esteem man’s most respected ways; a Mow’abite town east of the Yarden | Jordan) and (wa) ‘El’aleh | where Allah is Exalted as a God (‘El’aleh – the Almighty raises and God lifts up and from ‘alah – to go up or to be exalted as superior to and ‘el – God (akin to the erroneous rendering of Allahu-Akbar – God is Greater), ‘alah is also a burnt offering as in a holocaust; a town in ruins west of the Yarden / Jordan in the land of Mow’ab then Reuben), indeed (ky – rather instead as a result and for this reason) because of (‘al – over and concerning) your summer fruit (qayts ‘atah – that which you produce during the summer months when you are awakened from your stupor) and (wa) concerning (‘al – toward and before) your intended harvest (qatsyr ‘atah – your attempt to reap what you have sown), your exuberant shouts (hedad – your euphoric cheering and clamorous chanting, even boisterous jeering and celebratory taunts) shall diminish, dissipate, and die (naphal – will fall prostrate and go away, ceasing forever).’” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:9)
Thankfully for those of us who realize that “Allahu Akbar” is the Islamic Prayer of Fear, and that it was established by Muhammad in his failed attempt to impose his god’s superiority over the God of the Yahuwdym | Jews, initially during his terrorist raid at Khabar, we won’t have to hear it again. Allah is the Adversary and Yahowah is God.
295But one thing has become abundantly clear: in the end, Muslims will be no better off than Christians or Secular Humanists. It matters not if you believe that Allah or Jesus is God, or HaShem and Adonai, even that there is no God because each approach is wrong.
When Yahowah states that He will “bakah – express sorrow for the loss of life” among “Ya’azyr – the Empowered, Disrespectful, and Emboldened who are ferocious and overly aggressive as well as those who support them,” He is also saying that while He values life, they will die. Then with a telling reference to Sodom, God reveals that “Sabamah – the overly affluent who are satiated with alcohol and known for their excess,” represent the “gephen – moral poison of the corrupt and bent vine rooted in Sodom which has grown far and wide.”
Then Yahowah places Cheshbown and ‘El’aleh, America and the Islamic nations it has enriched and armed, in the same hideous pot – a poisonous and corrupting concoction which will be killed as they have killed. As for the “summer fruit,” consider this the last hurrah for the escalation of strife between Islamic jihadists and the U.S. military before both succumb during the fall of man – during the time when their exuberant chanting and boisterous jeering will dissipate and die.
Reaffirming that Yah has heard far too many people scream “Praise the Lord” and “Allahu-Akbar,” He prophetically reveals…
“‘Then (wa) their jubilation as an expression of their religious devotion (simchah – their exuberant worship and exaltation of their god) and (wa) their joyous shouts and shrieks (gyl – their superior attitude and terrorizing expressions) will cease to exist (‘asaph – shall be taken away and removed, harvested for destruction).
From (min – out of) the fertile land (ha karmel – that which is cultivated including orchards (a reference to the 296Fertile Crescent and thus to Mesopotamia and Islam)) and in (wa bin) the vineyards (ha kerem – where grapes are grown (a reference to Yisra’el and thus to the so-called “Palestinians”)) there will be no loud or rhythmic public proclamations (lo’ ranan – there will be no pervasive or melodic expressions (in typical Quranic and Islamic fashion), no rejoicing, no summons to worship, no calls to prayer, nor any pleading to prevail [verb conjugation from 1QIsa]), no shouts of impending triumph (lo’ ruwa’ – no lurid or brash chants, no call to invade or to battle, no warning, and no good news). Wine (yayn – fermenting grape juice) in (ba) the presses and vats (ha yeqeb) will no longer flow out (lo’ darak).
Those who trample and tread (ha darak – those who walk over others, leading and directing others, causing others to follow them on their course, those who march off to battle and who shoot their weapons), exuberantly shouting and euphorically crying (hedad – singing hymns as an act of worship, reciting prayers of thanksgiving, or vocally supporting their troops), I will put an end to on the Shabat (shabat – I will stop them and eliminate them, causing them to disappear after I have put an end to them on the eve of the Sabbath).’” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:10)
There will come a time in which God, Himself, will put an end to all forms of religious devotion, terrorizing expressions, rhythmic Quranic oratory, irritating hymns, or rabbinic prayers, even every summons to worship, all calls to prayer, fiery sermons, and any expression of reverence for a nation’s troops. It is the best thing a Father can do for His children.
There is an allusion to Roman Catholicism which should be acknowledged. It was the Beast emerging from Imperial Rome which was predicted in Dany’el to “darak – trample and tread” upon the whole world. Moreover, it was the Roman Catholic Church, in absolute defiance of 297Yahowah’s instructions that outlawed the observance of the Sabbath to pay homage to their gods.
“‘Therefore (‘al-ken – accordingly and for this reason), this is My innermost and anguished response (me’ah ‘any – My visceral and apprehensive reaction) to (la – concerning) Mow’ab | those with a Questionable Heritage – those who are Political Correct, Secular Socialists and Multicultural Humanists, and especially Pauline Christians (Mow’ab – the unthinking, warlike, and multicultural religious and political societies indoctrinated within and defined by Sodom, who have squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore by Paul to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died, leading them in the wrong direction).
They are like (ka – similar to) the loud, disturbing, intoxicating, and haunting groaning (hamah – the distressing, disquieting, and reverberating lament, uproarious, tumultuous, and troubling moaning, even the uninhibited, angry, and drunken snarl; from huwm – to distract and confuse in a maddening and disquieting way) of a lyre (ha kinowr – of a zither, a stringed instrument which is plucked to emit a twanging sound), engendering (wa) My visceral and apprehensive reaction (qereb ‘any – My innermost and anguished response) toward (la – for) Qyr Charas | the Destructive and Divisive Lure of the Lyrics Inscribed by Malevolent Schemers and Illusionists (Qyr Charas – that which was molded of clay to be contentious; from qyr – that which is broken and will be thrown away, the other side which is adversarial and destructive, vomit which is of the earth, disparaging and divisive, cold and cast out as a result of the webs they weave to bait, lure away, and ensnare behind a smokescreen of incense, and Cheres – to envision and write malevolent schemes, to conceive a cult in such a way that the writer’s actual motives are concealed so as to silence 298critics using the lifeless and fabricated natural things of the earth in concert with an eruptive disease from too much exposure to the sun, suffering birth pangs while being fettered and charred, burned by the sun, being deaf and kept silent pursuant to an evil plot schemed up by those associated with the occult who conspire).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:11)
Mow’ab was said to sound like an irritating rendition of the same instrument Dowd played so brilliantly. But they have always been out of tune while seeking to play an entirely different rendition of Dowd’s melody and lyrics. What God had enjoyed was now insufferable, the loud roar of maddening confusion designed to distract from His message and melody of life. That is to say that God finds the rhetoric and sermons, the platitudes and prayers, the secular songs and sectarian hymns, of Mow’ab, of Secular Humanists and Pauline Christians to be akin to the belligerent outbursts of an obnoxious drunken man and the snarl of an angry dog.
Having invested considerable time contemplating the implications of Qyr Cheres, I’ve come to see it as a deplorable and lamentable attribute of Mow’ab, likely even the appalling lyrics of their songs. Following the disturbing and distracting sounds of Mow’ab’s zither, it is most accurately translated as “the Destructive and Divisive Lure of the Lyrics Inscribed by Malevolent Schemers and Illusionists.” Let me explain…
Qyr is a “wall which separates and divides.” It is “another side of something divisive and destructive, something that is broken and cast away.” Related words convey: “adversarial, smokescreen, a decree given at the end of a spear, a funeral dirge, to spew out vomit then cover up the smell with perfume and incense, to pluck away, to trivialize and render meaningless, even insignificant, and to slaughter, slay, and kill.”
299A much more accurate depiction of cheres is developed by doing a modicum of digging. Cheres, where the Masoretic diacritical markings were added in the 11th century CE to the left side of the Shin (rather than the right), converting it to a Sin, is translated as “earthen or earth, potsherd or pottery, vessel or shard.”
Since God isn’t agonizing over broken pots, the observant will find that cheres is an amalgamation of “cheres – an eruptive disease contracted from excess exposure to the sun,” promoted by those who “charaph – defy and jeopardize through blasphemy,” so as to “chereph – to pluck away,” by “cherpah – acting shamefully,” while “charats – decisively maiming and mutilating” those who are otherwise like Sodom, and thus “charar – scorched and burned,” by “charash – the imagined and inscribed evil plots of magicians, those who use religious magic tricks to lure in and silence the stupefied masses.”
The root of cheres, which is differentiated from cheresh simply by the placement of the diacritical marking, means “to envision and write malevolent schemes, to conceive and engrave plans which cut those who read them into the resulting cult, in such a way that the writer’s actual motives are concealed so as to silence critics.” It speaks of the “artificers and illusionists who deploy ruses to fool the foolish.”
It must sadden God that His creation has not only sought to end the life He conceived, but adding insult to injury, has chosen to worship false gods in the process, perverting everything He had intended. And since we now know that Mow’ab represents the questionable father of Christianity and Multicultural Socialist Secular Humanism, we are being made aware that this demonic beast will become visible, accepting human form to pull off his last charade.
300“‘And (wa) it will come to exist (hayah – it will come to pass) therefore that (ky – as a result when [from 1QIsa where wa – and is omitted]) Mow’ab, the Politically Correct, Multicultural Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians (Mow’ab – Who Is Your Father; from ma – to question the who, what, and why of ‘ab – the father, the unthinking and warlike religious and political culture indoctrinated in the irrational and immoral cesspool of Sodom, having squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died) will present themselves and be seen (ra’ah – it will be revealed and understood, properly viewed he will be shown for what he and it actually represents (nifal perfect – there will be a point in time when Mow’ab reveals itself and is seen, carrying out and receiving the action of the verb)) because (ky – marking the point in time when indeed) he and it will become incapacitated (la’ah – he and it will fail, lacking the capacity to achieve their ambitions, worn out and distraught, discouraged and exhausted, lacking the capacity to respond) among the most elevated places of worship (‘al ha bamah – upon and before its pagan shrines and sacred religious centers and cultic platforms, its battlefields and funeral mounds).
When (wa) he comes to (bow’ ‘el – he returns to and arrives at (qal perfect)) his sanctuary, his shrine and holy place (miqdash huw’ – his temple and sacred place) to provide justification, mediate, and pray (la hitpalal – to plead for intercession and arbitrate, arguing on his behalf, requesting conciliation having foreseen where this was all headed (hitpael infinitive construct – vividly and expressively doing so on his own behalf, on his own recognizance and whatever force he can muster on his own)), (wa) he will fail, neither prevailing nor comprehending what is happening (lo’ yakol – he will accomplish nothing and be powerless, he will not be able to process what’s occurring, grasp the consequence, or 301attain what he desires (hofal imperfect – passively enduring the result throughout time)).’” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:12)
The first part of this could have been nothing more than an acknowledgment of what we have done, which is to expose the true nature of Mow’ab, that is if it hadn’t been scribed in the nifal stem. It requires the subject to orchestrate his own fate and then endure it.
Now if I may be so bold, I’ve long recognized that the Towrahless One, known to Christians as the Antichrist, will be indistinguishable from Sha’uwl / Question Him / Paul. He will convey the same message replete with all of the character flaws. This prophetic presentation of the corporeal manifestation of Mow’ab seems to affirm that I was right. This religious incarnation of Satan will be incapacitated in the very place he garnered his power and influence: the most elevated places of worship. It is Divine justice.
To his last breath, he will be attempting to justify his ambitions, pleading the case for his religious and political ideals. He will be like the men he has possessed, arbitrating and arguing for conciliation while praying for intercession. But Sha’uwl and Satan will fail.
The Towrah will prevail, and they will not. And again, like so many of those they beguiled and lorded over, they will never comprehend what is happening. But in the end, they will accomplish nothing, except see to it that billions are not saved. They will be on their own, powerless and clueless.
It is telling that Satan, without a “neshamah – conscience,” has not a clue as to what’s about to befall him or even why it will occur. This reduces the Adversary to the status of an implement – a tool. It is little wonder his religious schemes are not only similar; they are all counterfeits. Rather than composing a plan of his own, 302Satan twists Yahowah’s plan to suit his agenda. Such is the case with Paul’s manifesto.
At this point the prophet reminds us that he is simply the messenger and that the words we are reading were spoken by our Creator, Yahowah. Further, Yasha’yah reveals that this prophecy regarding Mow’ab would be for another time – our time, perhaps?
“This is (zeh – this should be regarded as) the Word (ha dabar – the statement, speech, declaration, and account, the message and communication) which to reveal the correct way to the most beneficial relationship and to get the most out of life (‘asher – to joyously bless and fortuitously benefit, to demonstrate the path to walk to give meaning to life) Yahowah ( – the pronunciation of YaHoWaH as guided by His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) spoke (dabar – communicated using words, vocalized by expressing verbally in speech) concerning (‘el – as God regarding and to) Mow’ab, the Politically Correct, Multicultural Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians (Mow’ab – Who Is Your Father; from ma – to question the who, what, and why of ‘ab – the father, the unthinking and warlike religious and political culture indoctrinated in the irrational and immoral cesspool of Sodom, having squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died) regarding that time (min ‘az – as a logical and temporal expression of the future revealed in the past).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:13)
As long as I live, I will remain grateful for the influence of ‘asher. It, more than any other word, led me to Yah. And over the years I have been continually enriched by it, coming to realize that it speaks of “a beneficial relationship which is achieved by walking along the correct and narrow path which gives meaning to life.” 303It provides special meaning in this context, positioned as it was between “ha dabar – the Word” and Yahowah’s name.
As we ponder the implications of the concluding statement in the 16th chapter of Yasha’yah, we would be wise to travel through time, if only in our minds, to ascertain when, if ever, has power and status been universally viewed as shameful and contemptible. Sure, the religious, political, and military elite have been despicable and disreputable for all of human history, but the masses have coveted their rank and wealth, and the few who have dared say such things have been slandered and ostracized. Speaking against the religious, military, and political establishment was never done in ancient Mow’ab nor likely in any Middle Eastern kingdom or empire.
Now the signs are so pervasive, they are hard to miss. American and European governance is predicated upon the following notion. It’s the entitlement mentality of the socialist mantra that promotes the redistribution of wealth, that is taking possessions from those who earned them and giving their assets to those who have voted to tax money and rights away from those they disdain.
It is the underlying current of the Arab Spring that precipitated the greatest migration of displaced people in human history – one that will turn an ignorant and irrational world, into a lazy and uninspired one with countless anti-Semites. Fact is, anti-Semitism is largely based upon this very notion that Jews have somehow conspired to enrich themselves by robbing the masses, thereby justifying the conspirator’s actions against them.
“So now (wa ‘atah – then henceforth, this being so, and from now on) Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of , our ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) has spoken (dabar – has communicated using words, expressed Himself verbally in speech, and conveyed His message 304with words), saying (la ‘amar – to answer, declare, promise, and convey),
‘In (ba) three (shalosh) years (shanah), like (ka – akin to) the years (shanah) of a day laborer performing a perfunctory, tedious, and repetitive menial job on an hourly basis (sakyr – of a short- or long-term contract worker without status or property who is hired to serve another in an obligatory and monotonous fashion and who is compensated for his effort based strictly on the time they are at the jobsite working, especially an unthinking mercenary who is committed to fight for a prescribed period, usually measured in years, in the cause of another rather than for patriotism, fortune, or fame; from sakar and karah – to earn wages by hiring oneself out, bargaining to trade one’s labor for some other benefit, especially during a feast when bargaining over its provisions) when (wa) the attribution of power and status (kabowd – the abundant wealth and dictatorial rulers, the vast property and extravagant possessions of those with high status and rank) are seen as contemptible and are disdained and condemned (qalah – are viewed as degraded and despised, seen as loathsome and shameful as they shrivel up, wither away, and are convicted and condemned in ignominy) with regard to Mow’ab, the Politically Correct, Multicultural Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians (Mow’ab – Who Is Your Father; from ma – to question the who, what, and why of ‘ab – the father, the unthinking and warlike religious and political culture indoctrinated in the irrational and immoral cesspool of Sodom, having squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:14 (in part))
It is exciting to ponder the possibilities. When does this long, seemingly endless, three years commence and 305conclude? If I were to speculate, I would attribute this to a period within the seven years of Ya’aqob’s troubles, more commonly known as the Tribulation. It is the nature of Islam to hire, and usually abuse, foreign workers to labor in their stead.
And it has become so certain that it is inevitable: fundamentalist Muslims throughout the Islamic Middle East, and most especially in Jordan, are going to condemn their kings, decrying them as despicable and un-Islamic. They will kill them and loot their possessions. The process will likely transpire over three years, resulting in the establishment of an Islamic Federation of jihadists, hell-bent on invading and destroying Yisra’el. The jurisdiction of ancient Mow’ab, the Kingdom of Jordan, will be trampled underfoot as jihadists flood into the Promised Land.
As we progress, it becomes ever more obvious that Yahowah isn’t speaking about the ancient kingdom of Mow’ab or even Jordan, on whose territory it once resided, but instead, the Gentile nations, institutions, and peoples aligned with the Lord Ba’al, a.k.a., Satan.
“‘In all (ba kol – even with the totality) of its great and militaristic (ha rab – its expansive, numerous, large, excess, and massive, even militaristic) wealth and agitated multitude, even its enormous military (hamown – riches and riotous people, possession-craving and noisy population, excessive troops and weapons, disgruntled and confused masses, most of whom are enraged and clamorous, disquieted and troubled, boisterous and chaotic, crying out loud and mourning), those who remain (wa sha’ar – the bodies and souls of those who are left, the residue and remnant, those still clinging to life who have been left behind) are few, lowly, and little (ma’at – limited in number and easily countable, also feeble, diminished, and worthless) exceptionally small (miz’ar – notably lowly and little (a synonym for Pauline Christians based 306upon the Latin name Sha’uwl chose for himself, meaning “lowly and little”); from ze’yet – a trifle who will only exist for a short time, dwindling to nothingness thereafter as they are deemed to be lowly and little and of no significance) and (wa – [from 1QIsa]) the antithesis of enriched and empowered (lo’ kabyr – their lives ended, impoverished and without merit, estranged from the Almighty One, powerless and incapacitated, contracted rather than expanded, diminished rather than increased, impoverished rather than enriched, ceasing to exist rather than eternally enduring).’” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 16:14)
Collectively, and as a direct result of American immorality, greed, arrogance, and stupidity, Islamic nations are superbly armed. But they will be no match for Yahowah who will destroy them and their weapons of war in the midst of their crusade against Yisra’el. And so those who remain, those who are indeed lowly and little, the remnants of what was once a great nation, is most likely America, where Pauline Christianity and Multicultural Political Correctness reign supreme.
And while you may not yet concur with this extrapolation from the text, be patient. Yahowah has a great deal more to say about the United States and we will not have to wait very long to hear it. The United States has not been blessed by Yahowah, but it will be cursed by Him. As has been the case with every world power, no matter the size of their army or their accumulated wealth, they eventually come crashing down.
This was a resounding crescendo, one which begins by warning the world about the advent and nature of Sha’uwl / Question Him / Paul, the Questionable father of modern Mow’ab…
“‘We have heard of the violent agitation and arrogance, of the moral depravity, undeserved status, 307and pompous rhetoric of Mow’ab, of those blended together by Political Correctness, including Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians, this unthinking, warlike and multicultural religious and political society indoctrinated in the immoral cesspool of Sodom, having corrupted the Hebrew writings such that they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died.
He has become exceedingly proud, self-promoting and self-important, overstating and overhyping his perceived triumphs, especially with his glorification of violence, with his delusional projection of himself as magnificent and moral while conceitedly glorifying his achievements.
In addition, his presumptive and unreasonable attribution of merit and status, even his claims of manifest destiny, his self-infatuation and sense of preeminence, and his improper outbursts and angry attacks which display an inflated sense of superiority – all without a legitimate basis, and all influencing the world around him, spilling out well beyond the region in which he lived to the opposite side of the earth.
They are not right because they are dishonest and delusional, without merit, demonstrably inaccurate with regard to his bragging and boasting, most especially his prideful speech which is not warranted by the facts, unrealized predictions, or his pronouncements in the name of a false god, especially his propensity to make up stories and invent alternate realities through a web of lies. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:6)
Therefore, let not Mow’ab, the Politically Correct, the Multiculturalists, the Socialist Humanists, nor the Pauline Christians, cry out in sorrow, wailing the basis of Satan’s name, Hylel, for themselves or their Questionable Father, but everyone should lament on 308behalf of the unknown and unaffiliated masses, for the law-abiding and religious people enamored with their shriveled cakes and grape juice offered to pagan gods of Qyr Charas | the Destructive and Divisive Lure of the Lyrics Inscribed by Malevolent Schemers and Illusionists, for those who are disparaging and divisive, ensnared behind a smokescreen of incense, those diseased by too much exposure to the sun, who blaspheme through defiant taunts.
Ponder the serious implications associated with this message, then speak to those willing to listen, exposing the plot, explaining why its utterings will be removed immediately following and along with the deceptive, deceitful, and prone to slander, especially among the afflicted and abused. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:7)
Indeed, the cultivated fields and expansive growth of Cheshbown | of the schemers and their weapons of war, of the snipers and their intent to kill, and of those who throw stones based upon their own accounts and reasoning, will shrivel up and wither away as a result of being indecisive and lacking the will to make the right decision, languishing and weakened for choosing poorly, having no personal discipline, and being overly fixated on satiating their sexual desires.
The twisted vine and moral poison once associated with Sadom | Sodom of Sabamah | of those who have too much and are satiated with alcohol, of those who tend to be gluttonous and hedonistic, these lords who control the gentile nations, will strike out in a destructive manner because they are inebriated, all while trampling and beating down their intoxicated victims.
Their shoots continually reach, infect, and plague Ya’azyr | the Empowered who are Disrespectful and Emboldened and those who help and support them, misleading many, causing them to err and go astray, 309deceiving by promoting faith in that which is invalid such that many are confused and stagger aimlessly around, toward a wasteland where the word is questioned.
Their shoots and untrained tendrils emerging from the same trunk will be rejected and forsaken, disassociated, and excluded from association as they passed over and intoxicated the sea, serving as a synonym for Gentiles. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:8)
For this reason, I express sorrow for the loss of life associated with the emotional anguish in Ya’azyr | the Empowered who are Disrespectful and Emboldened.
The moral poison of the bent vine, and the corruption which has grown out of it and spread far and wide from Sodom of Sabamah | of those who have too much and are satiated with alcohol, I have had more than enough of you so I will drench you in My tears.
Cheshbown | at a Time of Reckoning for Grand Schemes and Weapons and ‘El’aleh | where Allah is Exalted as a god, even seen as superior to the Almighty, indeed as a result of your summer fruit and your desired harvest, the exuberant shouts will diminish, dissipate, and die. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:9)
Then their jubilation as an expression of their religious devotion and their exuberant shouts and shrieks, their superior attitude and terrorizing expressions, will cease to exist.
From the fertile land (the Fertile Crescent and thus Mesopotamia and Islam) and in the vineyards there will be no loud or rhythmic public proclamations in typical Quranic and Islamic fashion, no rejoicing, no summons to worship, no calls to prayer, no shouts of impending triumph, no call to invade or to battle, no warning, and no good news.
310Wine in the presses and vats will no longer flow out. Those who trample down, causing others to follow them on their course, all too often marching off to battle and ever ready to shoot their weapons, exuberantly shouting and euphorically crying, singing hymns as an act of worship, reciting prayers of thanksgiving while vocally supporting their troops, I will put an end to on the Shabat, causing them to disappear. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:10)
Therefore, this is My inward and anguished response to Mow’ab, those blended together by Political Correctness, including Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians, this unthinking, warlike, and multicultural religious and political society indoctrinated in Sodom, those who have squandered the benefits of the Hebrew writings because they were twisted and intermixed with pagan lore by Paul to take them to the place where the Towrah’s voice died, leading them in the wrong direction.
They are like the reverberating and haunting moaning of a lyre, including My inner response toward Qyr Charas | the Destructive and Divisive Lure of the Lyrics Inscribed by Malevolent Schemers and Illusionists and their defiant taunts. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:11)
And it will come to exist therefore that Mow’ab | the Politically Correct, Multicultural Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians will present itself and be seen, because he and it will become incapacitated among the most elevated places of worship.
When he comes to his sanctuary, his shrine and holy place to provide justification, mediate, and pray, he will fail, neither prevailing nor comprehending what is happening, not even grasping the consequence.’ (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:12)
311This is the Word which to reveal the correct way to the most beneficial relationship and to demonstrate the path to walk to give meaning to life, Yahowah spoke against Mow’ab, the Politically Correct, Multicultural Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians regarding that time. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:13)
So now, Yahowah has spoken, saying, ‘In three years, like the years of a day laborer performing a perfunctory, tedious, repetitive, and thoughtless menial job on an hourly basis during a time when the attribution of power and status, and abundant wealth of dictatorial rulers, and the vast property and extravagant possessions of those with high status are seen as contemptible and are disdained and condemned with regard to Mow’ab, the Politically Correct, Multicultural Socialist Secularists and Pauline Christians.
In all of its great and excessive wealth and agitated multitude, even its enormous military, those who remain still clinging to life who have been left behind are few, lowly and little, limited in number and easily countable, worthless, exceptionally small, and they are the antithesis of enriched and empowered, their lives ended, impoverished and without merit, estranged from the Almighty One.’” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 16:14)
This is a marvelous and clear presentation of cause and consequence, of the nature of Mow’ab and what will befall them. Mow’ab represents a vast swath of people living without regard for Yah. And while that wouldn’t be a crime, God cannot ignore what they have done to harass Yisra’el or to lead so many away from Him.
312One last thought before we go. I’d like to flesh out the tantalizing tidbit that I introduced not long ago. Paul was not just the Questionable Father of Christianity, Sha’uwl also laid the foundation for Multiculturalism and Political Correctness, the core tenants of Socialist Secular Humanism. And that is why Mow’ab is equal parts Multicultural and Politically Correct, the immoral and irrational mantra of Sodom and also of Pauline Christianity.
There are a number of reasons that I have drawn this conclusion. First, Paul’s most defining and beloved prose is presented in the “Love” chapter of 1st Corinthians. Sha’uwl’s “love conquers all” has become the heart and soul of the moronic who disdain hate as part of the Multicultural, Politically Correct, and Socialist Secular Humanist agenda today.
But it is more than just the immoral attitude of indiscriminate love without an aversion to that which is wrong, or the irrational notion of loving before knowing – even though both permeate Western society. We must turn off our brains to love Sha’uwl | Question Him. Even in the detailed strokes of his most beloved presentation, this man became the Questionable Father of modern Mow’ab revealing his duplicity. So, let’s review 1 Corinthians 13 one Pauline claim at a time…
Foreshadowing the Politically Correct influence on Multiculturalism, from beginning to end, Sha’uwl’s lone and failed attempt to compete against Dowd, Yahowah’s Beloved, was a hypocritical contradiction. Most of Paul’s letters, including those he wrote to the Galatians, Corinthians, Philippians, Ephesians, Thessalonians, and Hebrews opened with Sha’uwl disparaging those communities for turning against him. It is, therefore, incongruous and hypocritical for him to speak of being the paradigm for unconditional love.
313This is the same thing we witness among those who march today chanting hateful and ridiculous notions against those they oppose while holding up signs promoting the idea of loving everyone. They are worse than those they hate.
As is the case with the me-myself-and-I, self-centered attitude of modern Mow’ab, even Paul’s “love chapter” is self-centered. From beginning to end, he keeps the focus on himself. He did not state that his followers should love, but instead:
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love (charity in the KJV), I am only a resounding (sounding brass in the KJV and noisy in the ESV and NLT) gong or a clanging cymbal.” (1 Corinthians 13:1 NIV)
The most rational explanation for this self-justifying approach is that Sha’uwl’s “love chapter” is actually his mea culpa, his plea to have his shortcomings and abject failures overlooked. Just as the pretense of love is a smokescreen for many of the most hateful and envious of the Politically Correct and Multicultural today, this was also so with Paul.
I have occasionally wondered why Sha’uwl | Question Him chose such an obscure metaphor with the “clanging cymbal” and why he replicated it with the “noisy sounding brass gong.” Having found the answer, it affirms my theory. From beginning to end, the wannabe apostle Sha’uwl was in competition with Dowd, Yahowah’s beloved Son, the man God actually mashyach | anointed as His Messiah to lead, instruct, and save His people – and, indeed, the world.
In the lyrics of his first Mizmowr / Psalm, Dowd | David declared that Yahowah’s Towrah was the love of His life, and that everything that grew out of him was a result of thoughtfully considering and sharing His Towrah 314Teaching and Guidance. By contrast, Sha’uwl | Paul committed his life to silencing the Towrah’s voice.
Dowd’s concluding Mizmowr / Psalm is the 150th. It begins: “You should choose to shine a light of appreciation (halal) on Yah (Yah).”
It concludes: “You should, of your own freewill, proudly commend Him (halal huw’) with a loud announcement which can be heard coming from (‘al shema’) a clanging cymbal (tsaltsal).
Decide of your own freewill to clearly acclaim His worthiness (halal huw’) with a resounding alarm and shout for joy upon (taruw’ah ‘al) a percussive brass instrument (tsaltsal).
Let every (kol) soul with a conscience, with the ability to understand (neshamah), literally and continually, clearly and proudly celebrate and announce one’s appreciation (halal) for Yah (Yah).
You should choose to shine luminously, brightly showing the enlightening and commendable nature (halal) of Yah (Yah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics / Psalm 150:5-6)
And now, we know. As it was with the wannabe king, Sha’uwl, since Dowd was right, Sha’uwl was wrong. It was obvious, and he knew it, so this was nothing more than a cheap shot at the man God actually chose to reveal His nature and purpose to all mankind.
Pursuing the conclusion of his initial point, Paul could not speak in the tongues of men. He not only needed interpreters and scribes, but the quality of his writing was also so deplorable, and his reasoning was so deficient, that his text had to be revamped and rehabilitated to appear credible. Even his public pronouncements were so appalling that almost every community in which he spoke rejected him. And his predilection for revisionist history renders everything he claims suspect. It would all serve as 315a harbinger for modern Mow’ab, the land of texts and tweets, a time when the language is impoverished, and logic is dead.
“And if I have prophetic powers…” (1 Corinthians 13:2 ESV) Unlike all of Yahowah’s actual messengers, Sha’uwl | Question Him was not a prophet. His one attempt, his “Rapture,” he got completely wrong both in the violent snatching away and with regard to the timing.
Therefore, Paul knows that for the foolish to believe him, they will have to overlook this glaring proof that he is a fraud. Likewise, today, few preachers or pundits bother to authenticate his or her work. They neither understand the past nor the present. And even with God telling us what is going to happen, they can’t predict the future. They are wrong more often than they are right. And speaking of wrong, there is no such thing as “prophetic powers” nor “the gift of prophecy.”
“And if I…can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith…” (1 Corinthians 13:2 NIV) Paul needed his audience to overlook the fact that he could not contribute to our ability to understand man’s purpose, his opportunity, or responsibility. Nor could he demystify God’s nature, distinguishing Yahowah from the religious gods men had made.
This was, of course, the opposite of what we find among Yahowah’s prophets, where God, who is set apart, becomes knowable, and, therefore, understanding eliminates the need for faith. Those of us who read what Yahowah revealed so long ago are enlightened and enriched by an unending array of brilliant insights – not even a whiff of which is found in Sha’uwl’s fourteen epistles.
Even this brings us to modern Mow’ab, a time of great scientific achievement in the midst of an explosion of information, when scarcely one in a million contributes to 316what can be known and understood about Yahowah, who He is, what He is offering, and what He expects in return. In fact, today, most people not only don’t care, like Paul, but they are averse to His message because it is counter to their own – identical to what we witnessed in Sodom.
Paul’s insistence that love trumps knowledge and understanding is not only incongruous with everything we have learned from Yahowah, it is emblematic of today’s Progressive, Woke, and Multicultural society. Truth is universally rejected when it is in opposition to the irrational concept of accepting, even respecting, mutually exclusive and wholly incompatible ideas as being equally valid.
Sha’uwl’s fallacy has, therefore, come to underpin the debilitating notion that opinions are entitlements that should never be challenged by evidence or reason. The Christian makes no distinction in his beliefs between the things of God and Babel, which makes his polytheistic faith so luxuriant. As a result of indoctrination and intoxicants, man’s world has become such an unmitigated and counterproductive web of lies, socially, politically, religiously, militarily, and economically, like the Pauline Doctrine, without blind faith, it would all come crashing down.
“…but have not love, I am nothing…” (1 Corinthians 13:2 NIV) Okay, let’s admit it. Paul got that one right. He offered mankind nothing of value.
“If I give all I possess…” (1 Corinthians 13:3 NIV) In breach of God’s instructions, Paul was never charitable, and then demanded it from others, especially when he was the beneficiary.
This is similar to today’s Mow’abites who are unwilling to work and yet demand that those who have been successful surrender their wealth to them. Those who are the least charitable pretend to be moral and enlightened when they condemn the most philanthropic.
317“…and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:3 ESV) This is wrong every which way. Human sacrifice has always been the most hideous expression of religion. Having burned ten thousand men and women alive, including King Mesha’s sacrifice of his own son, to appease his god, was the reason Yahowah gave the despicable Mow’abites over to the whims of Yisra’el. To God, it was like ridding His home of the plague. There is nothing loving about it, and it is always wrong.
But the author of this pathetic claim was in competition with Dowd. Sha’uwl | Question Him bragged about all of the physical hardships he endured, actually fabricating many of them. He would claim that his sacrifices were actually required to finish the job God’s Son inadequately fulfilled.
Then, even though he was challenged because the Yahuwdym | Jews who listened to his speeches recognized that he was consistently contradicting the very words of the God he claimed inspired him, Paul not only responded by condemning the “Judaizers,” but would propose that he, himself, gained from those hardships, justifying his boasts. That is to say, because he was confronted by those who knew better, those who don’t actually appreciate what the Towrah teaches ought to believe a man who would take a beating for his beliefs. If that were true, we should all be listening to suicide bombers.
All of this misguided sacrifice would reverberate throughout the ages into its current expression in today’s Politically Correct, Multicultural, Socialist Secular Humanist, and Pauline Christian societies. We are told to admire the sacrifices of those who give their lives fighting for their country because we are to believe that they are responsible for our freedom, security, and prosperity. This myth is part of the putrid glue that binds modern Mow’ab 318together, and it is a myth that is embraced by the religious right and political left.
By the way, other than adulation and fame, neither of which are appropriate among those serving with Yah, what was Sha’uwl / Question Him seeking to gain?
“Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant.” (1 Corinthians 13:4 NAS) This gave birth to the hypocrisy future Mow’abites would manifest, because the man who wrote these words was the most envious and braggadocious man to ever claim Divine inspiration. To read Paul’s letters, and particularly the confession found at the conclusion of his second epistle to Corinth, and then compare it to these words, leaves us with a single acceptable conclusion: Paul lied.
Sha’uwl was not only a conceited and bombastic hypocrite, the only person he actually loved was his boy-toy, the one man he circumcised, Timothy. But like Sha’uwl, today, social arrogance is prolific, with the preponderance of people boasting about their country, their political party, their military, and their religion, all without justification.
“…or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful.” (1 Corinthians 13:5 ESV) It is hard to read these words and type at the same time, because I’m laughing hysterically. Second only to his admitted arrogance, Paul is best known for “insisting on his own way.” Anyone who disagreed with “but I, Paul, say” was viciously attacked and condemned – they still are.
As for irritable, resentful, and rude, read what Paul has to say about “Peter,” “John,” and “James,” as well as his critics, the alleged “Judaizers.” And while Sha’uwl was often enraged, even violent by his own admission, his greatest crime was denouncing and demeaning Yahowah, His Towrah, His Covenant, and His prophets. He did so for 319a single reason: to be seen as superior to all – even the chosen.
And that makes a mockery of the NIV translation of these same words: “It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered.” (1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV) Sha’uwl was the living embodiment of everything he said he opposed. It is little wonder She’owl was named after Sha’uwl. He offered his soul for the naming rights, providing nothing of value.
“…It keeps no record of wrongs.” (1 Corinthians 13:5 NIV) Paul wrote these words as a smokescreen, knowing that he had been wrong about almost everything. It was also conveyed to dismiss most of what was written in the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms – wherein Yahowah holds His people and others accountable, consistently differentiating between right and wrong.
A society, as is the case with ours with social amnesia, that keeps no record of wrongs is assured of never learning any better. This is not only emblematic of the unwillingness to admit the cause of 9/11 or hold Islam accountable, it is a core element of Political Correctness and thus of modern Mow’ab.
While they wouldn’t use “delight” or “rejoice,” this is something we’d expect to hear from a politician presenting their political agenda while demeaning their opponents: “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” (1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV)
And yet Paul, like Christian preachers and Secular politicians, defined “evil” as anything that was counter to his own mantra. And truth became relative, whereby it was true if he said it and false if it came from a contrarian source, even if that source was God. Today, in modern Mow’ab, as was the case in ancient Sodom, truth is defined by what is acceptable and popular and thus Politically Correct.
320And speaking of Multicultural and Politically Correct rubbish, this could be the byline of many liberal Socialist Secular Humanist organizations: “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7 ESV) It is also totally wrong, from beginning to end.
To love, we must reject, even oppose, those who would harm our family. The Multicultural notion that we should endure and embrace religions like Islam when Muslims perpetrate 99% of all terrorist acts, abuse hundreds of millions of women, and are intolerant of everyone else is irresponsible and suicidal.
To be rational, we must reject what is untrue. Believing all things is absurdly stupid, because most religious, political, military, and conspiratorial pontifications are false. But that is what Paul and the Politically Correct he inspired must have the masses conditioned to accept, otherwise those who dare exercise good judgment would destroy their credibility.
There is nothing good that comes from false hope. And it all too often placates believers to the point that they become too complacent to search for that upon which they can confidently rely.
At its heart, the Multicultural and Politically Correct mantra of liberal Socialist Secular Humanism expounds the preposterous notion that “love never fails.” (1 Corinthians 13:8 NKJV)
If that were true, then God does not love. And if Christians were rational, they would reject their religion on this basis alone, because they believe in an all-loving god. Moreover, Socialist Secular Humanists would forego their assemblies because in the long history of man, love has never prevailed over might.
321By placing his words, “But I, Paul, say…,” above the words of the Most High, and in lock-step with the arrogant spirit who possessed him, Sha’uwl would convey the antithesis of what Yahowah has communicated to us. He wrote: “But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” (1 Corinthians 13:8 NIV) Every word of this is a lie, one that must be believed for one to respect Paul and be a Christian.
Even in the folklore written to conceive the myth of Jesus, the Christian god contradicts Paul by allegedly saying: “Do not assume that I have come to weaken, invalidate, or abolish the Towrah or the Prophets. I have not come to do away with it, but instead to completely fulfill it.
Truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one jot, the smallest letter in Hebrew, nor tittle, the strokes comprising Hebrew letters, shall pass away or be disregarded from that which was established in the Towrah until the time and place it all happens.
Therefore, whoever dismisses or invalidates the least of these terms and conditions, or teaches people to do the same, they will be called ‘Lowly and Little’ in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever acts upon them, and teaches them, they will be called ‘Significant’ in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19)
Every prophecy has been or will be fulfilled and celebrated. Communication between Yahowah and His creation is about to become much more prolific, and our ability to know and understand will grow exponentially, especially as we receive His towrah | guidance.
322It is, however, truly amazing that even bolstered by scientific advancements, lightning-fast computers, a proliferation of knowledge, and instant worldwide communication, man can’t seem to predict the consequences of arming al-Qaeda, of invading Afghanistan, of giving Iraq to Iran initiating the Syrian war, of coddling Muslims or of selling Islamic nations hundreds of billions of dollars worth of American weapons, of deploying drones or of illegally spying on everyone.
He would even write, “for now we see only a reflection as in a mirror,” (1 Corinthians 13:12 NIV) which was a reference the Sophist philosophy of Socrates.
“Mirroring” became known as the Socratic Method, or “Method of Elenchus,” which Socrates applied to examine the key moral concepts such as Good versus Evil, as well as Truth and Justice. Socrates by turning his hypothetical “mirror” upon himself was seen as a “modern man,” as a philosopher placed in a world that did not yet understand him. And like Sha’uwl, Socrates was a very religious man who was guided by his demon. And Socrates, like Paul, thought that only he, and those who accepted his philosophy, were qualified to impose their will on others. Even more interesting, Socrates wrote that communal love was superior to anything the Athenian gods had to say, making him an interesting individual for Paul to emulate.
Paul would conclude his ode to his pagan trinity with: “And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13 NIV) In actuality, what remains is Yahowah, His Towrah, and His Covenant.
Pistis was the Greek god of Faith. He was known as Fides or Fidelis in Latin, denoting a belief that drove to the heart of Greco-Roman and now American culture. Pistis became one of Paul’s favorite Greek words, permeating his 323letters. In fact, Paul’s Salvation by Faith was extrapolated from this god’s name and borrowed from the rhetorical notions of Greek Gnosticism and mythology.
In Greece at the time, priests and philosophers alike viewed pistis / faith as a pervasive approach to elliptical thinking where the focus was on the effect rather than the truth. This notion has been swallowed wholesale by both Christians and Socialist Secular Humanists.
During Paul’s day, as the Roman Republic transitioned into Imperial Rome, faith was broadly expressed by the slogan Pia Fidelis. It was first used to show the Roman Legions’ loyalty to the pagan goddess Minerva, whose image was on their standards. Minerva, in her Greek manifestation, Athena, was the model for the Statue of Liberty, from which the ultimate expressions of Multiculturalism are derived.
In that it is interesting, it was the XI Legion which came to bear the name of the Roman God Fidelis. It was wielded by Julius Caesar in his campaign against the Helvetians in 58 BCE. It was deployed again against Caesar’s rival Pompey the Great in 49 BCE when Julius invaded Italy. Reconstituted under Octavian, it was used to suppress the Second Triumvirate in the battle of Philippi – as in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Later, Octavian would deploy Fidelis to gain supremacy over the Mediterranean world, renaming himself, Augustus. Then just as Paul was writing these words, the XI Legion, Pia Fidelis, was used by Claudius to suppress an internal rebellion. But that’s not the end of the story.
The Legion Fidelis sided with Vespasian, the man responsible for destroying the Temple in Yaruwshalaim. During the reign of Hadrian, a unit carved out of the XI Legion was sent to Judaea to suppress the messianic revolt of Rabbi Akiba and Simon bar Kokhba in 133 CE – one of the most brutal Rome ever fought.
324The validity of a statement, for which there is no proof or credible evidence, especially beliefs in religion, becomes simply a matter of faith and hope. As church fathers wrote in defense of Paul’s faith-based, knowledge-deprived, doctrine: “Faith is neither the submission of reason, nor the acceptance, simply and absolutely upon testimony, of what reason cannot achieve. Faith is being able to cleave to a power of goodness appealing to our higher and real selves, not our lower and apparent selves.” (From Literature and Dogma 1873)
Elpis was the personification of Hope in Greek mythology. Considering Paul’s affinity for acclaim, it is telling that she was the daughter of Pheme – the goddess of fame and renown.
Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of Love. She was worshiped as Venus in Rome and considered the Morning Star. Her cult was centered in Cyprus and Corinth, the place from which Paul had just come and the very place he wrote these words. She was the Greek version of Astarte, also known as Ishtar – from whom Pauline Christians find their devotion to the Madonna and Child, the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of God, and for Easter. According to Paul, to the Greeks, and to the Babylonians before them, she is the greatest of all.
But alas, Sha’uwl lied, not only contradicting God but also himself. For with him, these three remained the Charities, known in Rome as the Gratia or Graces, Satan, the spirit who possessed him, and Paul. And the greatest of these was Paul.
Second to his Politically Correct and Multicultural proposal on love, Paul is solely responsible for the Christian amalgamation of Church and State, of Mow’ab representing both Pauline Christianity and Socialist Secular government. Consistent with the priests of Babylon, Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and wholly 325incompatible with Yahowah’s prophets, Sha’uwl | Question Him blended religion and politics together and wrote glowingly of man’s most abusive regime.
Socialist Secular Humanists strive for and support big government. The more intrusive and controlling the better. They trust it. They depend upon it. They view government as man’s highest calling.
With the onslaught of COVID-19, liberals seized upon the opportunity to control everyone’s lives and their livelihood, shuttering businesses. But little do they know that their ignorance will bite everyone in the end, with their authoritarian response to the virus becoming vastly more costly and deadly than the disease. God is right, mankind is a plague upon this planet.
From this perspective, let’s consider what Paul promoted in the 13th chapter of Romans, cognizant of the fact that Yahowah called Imperial Rome the most vicious Beast to grow out of Babylon. Also, since context and perspective are essential to understanding, keep in mind that Imperial Rome humiliated, whipped, and crucified Dowd – God’s Messiah, King, and Son. It was Imperial Rome that destroyed Yahowah’s Temple and used what they stole out of it to build their Colosseum – the site of the worst of human behavior. It was Imperial Rome that returned sixty years later to bludgeon the Chosen People and destroy the Promised Land, renaming Yahuwdah after the now-extinct Philistines. And lest we forget, it was Imperial Rome that evolved into the final Beast, the Whore of Babylon, that has tread upon the whole world. Mankind has known no greater menace nor more unGodly institution.
If that were not enough, we must also be mindful that to be included in Yahowah’s Covenant, we must do the opposite of what Paul has written. So, as you read these words and consider the vicious, pagan history of nations 326and empires, contemplate how it is possible that anyone believed Sha’uwl | Question Him after he wrote them.
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good.
But if you do wrong [such as opposing what Yahowah opposes], be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason.
They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment, but also a matter of conscience.” (Romans 13:1-5)
In this regard, the deadly and debilitating consequence of King Sha’uwl foreshadows the self-proclaimed Apostle Sha’uwl. Both were pro-government and claimed God’s authority and authorization. And yet both were disowned by Yahowah because of their dismissal and perversion of His Towrah Instructions. And thereafter, both were demon-possessed. Both were Benjamite wolves who devoured the unsuspecting. Both were resolute adversaries of Dowd, Yahowah’s beloved. And both led all who followed them to their demise.
Speaking of government, Paul was even socialistic. His version of the church was predicated upon each 327according to their ability and to each according to their need. It was all about donating, I mean, sharing, the wealth.
Third, Paul was multicultural, claiming the entire world of nations and ethnicities estranged from Yisra’el for himself. He was yesteryear’s globalist. And he embraced the cultures and religions of other nations. After being struck blind and lame, he began his crusade in Damascus, a place Yahowah clearly detests. Then he sailed off to Cyprus, where Paul met with Bar-Iesous’ | Son of Jesus – a sorcerer. In Corinth he met with Aquila who had just come from Rome, as Rome was banishing all Jews. He even sailed with him across the Aegean to Ephesus to meet Apollos. He would then appeal to Caesar during his meeting with Governor Portius Festus, which led to an audience with the Roman-appointed ‘Edowmite king of the Roman province of Yahuwdah. He would write Romans in Greece and Hebrews in Rome.
Fourth, Paul was Politically Correct. He said what the people wanted to hear, especially Greeks and Romans, conveying what their governmental and religious leaders wanted them to believe, even when what he was saying was incorrect. Truth was relative, and contradictions were always acceptable.
Fifth, Paul was philosophical, embracing and promoting the most enlightened thinking of his day, Gnosticism, the religious philosophy of Greece. Gnosticism, which is based upon presumed enlightenment and knowing, underlies the philosophy of Humanists today. However, let it be known, like the Politically Correct, the Greeks were wrong about almost everything.
Sixth, Paul was forgiving of everything and everyone with the exception of those who challenged him, and toward them he was hateful and slanderous. This, too, is mirrored in modern liberalism.
328And seventh, Paul presented himself as man’s savior, as man’s guiding light. He was Akiba and bar Kokhba, Vespasian and Hadrian, Constantine and Theodosius, Muhammad and Hitler, Lenin and Mao, all before their time.
