End of Religion
Stupefying and Appalling…
The experience for those who will be gleaned during the Taruw’ah harvest will be radically different from what we are currently experiencing here on Earth. There will be no trace of religion in the hereafter. Faith will be replaced by knowing for those who seek understanding.
“In that specific day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – on this, His day), this man (ha ‘adam – the human descended from ‘Adam (the first man conceived in God’s image with a neshamah – conscience)) will actually pay attention to, highly regard, and accept (sha’ah – he will look favorably toward and respond appropriately to (qal imperfect)) the Almighty (‘al), the One who engaged and acted to get this done, his Maker (‘asah huw’ – the One who accomplished this for him, the One who made the commitment for him and worked to make this happen on his behalf).
And (wa) his eyes (‘ayn huw’ – his perspective, focus, and observations, his capacity to see) will choose to continuously look (ra’ah – he will genuinely and continually elect of his own freewill to behold and gaze upon, seeing, perceiving, considering, finding delight in, while developing an understanding (qal imperfect jussive)) toward (‘el – upon and in the direction of) the Set-Apart One (qadowsh – the separated, cleansing, and purifying, the one and only, the constituted and dedicated; from qadash – to set apart, to be established separate, to be singularly dedicated and devoted) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el – 387of Individuals who Engage and Endure with God).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:7)
Yahowah isn’t suggesting that this gleaning of the Covenant’s children during Taruw’ah will cause all mankind to “genuinely regard and accept” Him because for several more years the vast preponderance of people will continue to reject Him, favoring gods made by men rather than the Creator of men. That is why He used “ha ‘adam – the man or this man” rather than the more common terms for individuals, people, or mortals.
Ha ‘adam is a singular individual, a depiction which is common throughout the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms because the path to Yahowah is walked individually. Reinforcing this point, every reference to “huw’ – him or his” throughout this statement was written in the third-person singular. The man or woman who follows the path God has presented along the seven steps of the Miqra’ey, goes against the crowd. So few consider and accept this unpopular path, it appeals to just one in a million individuals.
But nonetheless, it is worth reveling in this moment when a few individuals, at least enough to make this prophecy relevant, finally show an interest in the One who has engaged and who will act to make all of this occur. When the object is Yahowah, sha’ah is a word worth celebrating. One day soon the Covenant’s children “will actually gaze upon, genuinely regard, and accept” our Creator.
They “will turn and look to” Him for who He is, for what He has done, and for what He is desirous of doing. At long last, a gleaning of souls “will actually pay attention and favor Him, trusting and relying upon Him sufficiently to respond appropriately,” which will thereby allow these fortunate few “to receive the ongoing gift which makes them acceptable to Him.”
388It’s telling that English Bible translations are wont to render ‘asah as “Creator” rather than “the One who engaged and acted to get this done.” As a verb, ‘asah means “to act, to engage, to work to accomplish something.” The verb “to create” is bara’, and it was not chosen. This religious propensity to mislead their faithful is designed to preclude them from realizing that Yahowah has laid out and, through His Son, provided everything required to save the Covenant’s children.
The Christian deception is therefore predicated upon the false notion that this “Old Testament” God, the God of the Torah, could not save so “Jesus Christ” had to come and establish a new religion. But the simple truth is that for a relationship such as the Covenant to be of value, both parties must engage and act, including the God who is offering it to us.
This is also a problem for religious Jews because they see God as incorporeal and thus are unable to engage in the manner the verb ‘asah suggests. Moreover, Orthodox Jews are rather full of themselves and don’t actually believe they need any assistance from HaShem.
The one thing all of those headed Home will have in common is that they will have accepted and acted upon the terms and conditions of the Covenant, thereby disassociating themselves from religion while recognizing Yahowah as their Father, their God, their Creator, and their Savior. For the heirs to the Covenant, these members of the First Family who are God’s children, there will no longer be any delusions circling around them – as all of the false gods man has made, all religious deceptions, and every platitude from a politician will be no more. All of this corruptive rubbish will be discarded in favor of a perfect place and loving relationship.
Yahowah is presenting Himself as “qodowsh – set apart.” That is important for several reasons. First, it means 389that He is set apart from this world and thus is not in it. Second, it means that He is set apart from human institutions, religious, political, and military, and thus is not supporting any of them. Third, it means that to be where He is, we must be set apart from these things too.
And once again, even as the sands of time vanish, Yahowah continues to identify Himself with Yisra’el | Israel, the people and the place. This means that He has not replaced His Chosen People with a “Church” and He is not concerned about the institutions located within the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, or the Middle East.
The reason for this should be obvious. The people who reside in these places are religious, political, and patriotic. They are all unacceptable to God. Of His children, it can always be said…
“So, then (wa) he shall never accept or gaze (lo’ sha’ah – he will not regard or trust, he will never favorably consider and will forsake, he will no longer turn to or respond other than to negate, he will not pay attention to nor look (qal imperfect)) upon (‘al (rendered from the DSS)) the altars (ha mizbeach – the religious sites of offering a sacrifice; from zabach – place where animals are slaughtered), these works (ma’aseh – their actions and deeds, their pursuits and achievements, the labor and expenditure of energy, even the patterns of behavior and practices; from ‘asah – that which they have acted upon and engaged in (rendered from the DSS)) of his hands, representing what fingers have made (yad huw’ wa ‘asher ‘asah ‘etsba’ – of his hands and what his grasp has engaged in, done, and accomplished).
They will not focus upon (lo’ ra’ah – they will not see, look to, view, pay attention, nor consider, they will not be shown nor find pleasure in (rendered from the DSS)) either (‘ow (rendered from the DSS)) that which is associated with ‘Asherahs / Mothers of the Gods / the 390Queens of Heaven / or the Madonnas with Child (ha ‘Asherahym – the Blessed, the Goddesses of Grace and Good Fortune in pagan mythology, or the Blessed Mother, nor worship the consort of the Lord Ba’al (a.k.a. Satan) and ‘El, the god symbolized by a decorated tree and sacred wooden pillar, a popularly worshiped pagan and mythological Babylonian, Assyrian, Phoenician, Aramaean, and Canaanite mother-earth goddess upon which the Roman Catholic religious festival of Easter Sunday was conceived, the idol upon which the Madonna and Child statues were built, the pole upon which the Christian cross was derived, and the basis of the Christmas celebration and Christmas tree; the Second Person of the Trinity, also known as Astarte and Ishtar, the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God, later worshiped as Venus in Rome; from ‘ashar – to pronounce blessed, to receive blessings, to relieve suffering, to make happy, to engage in a relationship, and to show the way) or the (wa ha) worship of sun-god images (chaman – sun pillars used in idolatrous pagan worship where incense is commonly burned; from chamah – to be aroused by the sun and chamets – to be leavened, embittered, oppressive, cruel, and ruthless).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:8)
This report is either devastating or affirming, depending upon a person’s faith or lack thereof. For a believer, this is the worst possible news because God is saying that there will be no signs of religion in heaven. All traces of these ill-conceived and misleading schemes will be expressly forbidden. But for the descendants of Ya’aqob, for a child of the Covenant, and thus one of those gleaned, this statement affirms something we’ve already accepted and embraced. The Covenant’s lone prerequisite is to walk away from Babylon, which Yahowah defines as confusing and corrupting religious and political schemes that commingle truth with lies to plague believers.
391This statement also provides a contrast. Heaven will be markedly different from the world these fortunate individuals will be leaving. One is filled with religious imagery, rites, dogma, and terminology and the other has none. This not only demonstrates that religion leads away from God rather than to Him, but also that God cannot save the preponderance of people. If He did, if He allowed the religious and political into heaven, it would quickly devolve into hell – becoming no different than what these deadly and destructive institutions have done to ruin life on Earth.
‘Asherah was also called Astarte and Ishtar by the Babylonians. She was named Isis by the Egyptians, Helena by the Helens (Greeks), and Venus by the Romans. She was Lord Ba’al’s consort in ancient mythology. And Ba’al, the most commonly used Hebrew word for “lord,” is Yahowah’s nomenclature for Satan. God chose it to describe Satan because the Adversary’s ambition is to lord over, to control, and to possess humankind, deceiving the masses into bowing down and worshiping him.
The religious myths claim that ‘Asherah was impregnated by Lord Ba’al in the guise of the sun, so in her maternal role, she has been worshiped throughout time as the Madonna with Child. This goddess is called the Mother of God and the Queen of Heaven. Impregnated during the Sunday nearest the Spring Equinox, today’s Easter, she is said to have given birth to god, the son of the sun, on the Winter Solstice, today’s Christmas. So, while all Christians celebrate her holidays, Catholics and orthodox Christians the world over demonstrate additional reverence to her when they light candles in front of their Madonna statues and when they repeat their ritual Hail Mary prayers. In fact, every word of “Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with thee. Blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now” is derived from the mantra of those who worshiped ‘Asherah in Babylon.
392In that this affinity with Christianity should not be missed, it should be noted that ‘Asherah’s most commonly observed religious festival, Easter Sunday, occurs when the sun is in the constellation of Taurus the Bull – the sign expressly attributed to the Lord Ba’al. Nine months later, god’s birthday was celebrated annually on the Winter solstice, today’s Christmas.
The name of our planet was derived from a blend of ‘Asherah and Astarte. Mother Nature references are allusions to this goddess as well. Her pictogram is now the scientific symbol for woman—the combination of a circular sun disc and a cross. It, therefore, is seen in the Egyptian Ankh, the symbol of life.
To keep all of this in perspective, remember that Satan wants to be worshiped as God. He does not want to be known as “ha Satan – the Adversary” but instead as “the Lord” – the most common religious substitution for Yahowah’s name. That puts him in a position of power and influence over mankind.
As the “Lord,” the masses bow down to him when they worship him. Like all of Satan’s schemes, ‘Asherah helps the “Ba’al – Lord” reinforce his deception by advancing the notion that there is a Queen of Heaven and Mother of God, an Easter and Christmas. These pagan religious myths provide credence to the deception that has become Christianity. With every stroke, Satan repositions himself as a god rather than the “Adversary.”
We should not be surprised that the basis of ‘Asherah’s name is meant to be misleading and serve as a counterfeit. ‘Ashar means “to pronounce blessing.” It is why Catholics refer to “Mary” as the “Blessed Virgin” and “Blessed Mother.” It is why they chant “The Lord has blessed thee.” It is why they seek to “receive blessings” from her, including “relief from suffering” in Catholic Purgatory.
393Almost every aspect of Roman Catholicism is based upon the Babylonian and Assyrian sun-god religion. Albeit under different names, the mythology of the Babylonian religion was incorporated into the Greek religion, absorbed by the Romans, and then evolved into Roman Catholicism. The papacy, hierarchal church order, nuns, fathers, and monks, the adoration of Mary, the notion God has a mother, the Rosary, Sunday worship, the Mass, confessions, bowing down, the sign and symbol of the cross, the golden sunburst icons placed on their altars, most of their priestly apparel, including the pope’s hat, infant baptism, purgatory, holy water, wax candles, incense, steeples, saints, Lent, Easter, Christmas, calling God “Lord,” and especially the Trinity, are all examples of religious rites, customs, and terms conceived in Babylon.
The religious traditions of a decorated Christmas tree (‘asherah means “grove of tall trees”), the wreath, Yule log, mistletoe, Santa’s names (including St. Nick), Santa’s job, and his costume, the Easter Bunny, dyed eggs dipped in the colors of Spring, the Easter ham, and hot cross buns are all direct derivatives of the Babylon sun-god religion. Fortunately, these are all things which have no place in heaven.
Elsewhere in His Torah and Prophets, Yahowah speaks of “the poles of ‘Asherah worship.” These religious relics were later incorporated into Christianity as the Christmas tree and the Christian cross. Shia Muslims, based upon Muhammad’s testimony, still celebrate Ashura Day, named in honor of this pagan goddess – somewhat strange for a religion which claims to be monotheistic. But then again, Satan covets a bride.
During our review of the previous statement, we celebrated “sha’ah – to turn to, look at, regard, consider, and trust” when focused on Yahowah. But now it has been negated, with lo’ sha’ah emphatically expressing that we should “never look to, favorably regard, trust, nor respond 394to” religious altars. As such this contrast reveals that we must give up religion before we turn to, trust, respond, and look upon Yah. We must forsake religion to engage in the relationship Yah is offering.
Religion is the “ma’aseh – pursuit” of man, his “endeavor, work, and business.” It is what mankind has “‘asah – acted upon and engaged in” over the millennia. It is the “yad – hand” of man rather than the yad of Yah.
In this regard, chaman also addresses the “worship of sun gods.” Today, we see chaman in obelisks like the Washington Monument and that found at the center of the Vatican and also church steeples. Many Christian crosses bring all of this together when crosses incorporate the circular disc of the sun in their design. Even “church” draws from this heritage because Circe, from whom we also derive the English word “circle,” was a sun goddess (the daughter of Helios). At its heart, Christianity is a Roman interpretation of the Babylonian sun-god religion using Greek names.
Also interesting, chaman, when shaded by its roots, chamah and chamets, makes a vital connection between “being leavened” and ancient Babylonian sun worship which serves as the basis of Christianity, and between being leavened and being “embittered, oppressive, cruel, and ruthless.”
These revelations create a special problem for many living in the United States. America’s most enduring political symbols are sun god related. On the secular side, these include the national and presidential eagle (derived from Rome), Washington’s, Jefferson’s, and Madison’s tombstones (religious obelisks), the Statue of Liberty (based upon Athena), and the pyramid and eye on the nation’s currency (from Egyptian paganism). They are an abomination to Yahowah. Moreover, those showing 395patriotic allegiance to such symbols will be excluded from heaven.
I am hopeful that Yahuwdym | Jews realize how important it is to expose and excoriate the religions that evolved from their own. Having been victimized by their creations, it has to be reassuring to know that Yahowah is going to hold those who have abused them accountable for their hellish behavior. Those who have claimed that their god has sanctioned their anti-Semitism are on the cusp of being punished for it. It is as it should be.
“In that specific day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – during this time), it shall come to be (hayah – will actually exist for an ongoing period (qal imperfect)) that the cities of (‘iyr – populations centers and inhabited places, the inner shrines and temples, the anguishing anxiety and alarming terror) his refuge and his defensive fortifications (ma’owz huw’ – protective forces and systems used to prevent and forestall an attack, even military bases; from ma – to question and ‘azaz – source of strength and means to prevail, protect, and defend) shall be abandoned and deserted (‘azab – will be neglected and rejected, forsaken and released) consistent with an occult presence among the religious and merchants of death (ka cheresh – similar to the religious writers and the expert enchanters who plot against and devise detrimental plans in concert with Satan, comparable to those who conspire in secret, similar to the environmentalists in wooded areas with mind-altering incantations and biological agents, as it will be with the skilled craftsmen, artisans, technical workers, carpenters, industrialists, and idol makers whose business is death and destruction; from charash – to cut down while preparing potions devised to silence).
And then (wa) the uppermost branch of the olive (ha ‘amyr – the treetop on the summit of the mountain, the highest branch; from ‘amar – to say, to promise, or to answer), therefore (‘asher – beneficially and to show the 396steps to walk for the correct way to the proper relationship, for their benefit and as a blessing), will be completely deserted for a time (‘azab – will be totally freed and actually released for having accomplished the goal which is to help restore the relationship those who remain and are forsaken have deserted (qal perfect)) because of (min – out of and from) the presence of (paneh – the face of, the appearance, and confronting, even the turning away of) the children (ben – sons) of Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God).
Then (wa) there will be (hayah – as a result of the choices made, for a period of time, it shall occur (qal perfect consecutive)) appalling desolation and stupefying ruin (shamamah – a stunning and astonishing deflowering and defoliation of the trees and plant life, horrible devastation leaving these places ravaged and temporarily uninhabitable, completely deserted, and desolate so as to be a wasteland clothed in horror).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:9)
These are not unrelated events. They will transpire sequentially in our future. That is what is being conveyed with the phrase “ba ha yowm ha huw’ – in that specific day.”
What is amazing about this time is that the institutions so many have come to rely upon will be failing catastrophically – which is not to say they aren’t already failing. In the aftermath of being inundated by thousands of proven cases of priestly pedophilia, nearly forty percent of Roman Catholics are now questioning their faith.
The highest readership per capita of Prophet of Doom is in Islamic countries where sane Muslims are seeking to understand why their way of life is so impoverished. Religious veneration will continue to falter, the military defenses will be abandoned, and the merchants of death, the religious writers, and the expert enchanters, today’s 397conspiratorial bloggers, will crash and burn right along with them. Cities will become uninhabitable. But there will be an occult presence almost everywhere.
Immediately after the uppermost olives are gleaned, there will be “shamamah – appalling devastation, horrid defoliation, and stupefying ruin,” much of it likely in proximity to Yisra’el, such large swaths of the world become uninhabitable and life unsustainable. This is the beginning of the worst of Ya’aqob’s Troubles.
As much as Yahowah wants to reach the Children of Yisra’el, and thus leave Covenant members to convey His testimony, as a loving Father, He cannot allow His Family to linger in the midst of such desolation. That is the likely reason that the two witnesses from the past are posted in Yaruwshalaim at this time.
The Taruw’ah harvest will spare the Covenant’s children from having to endure these astonishingly horrible assaults against Yisra’el and a world at war with itself. Also, after Yahowah’s children are gone, it appears that, with the escalation of Satanic schemes and rhetoric, the Earth will be defoliated, which suggests the possibility that biological weapons will be deployed. What God creates, Satan seeks to destroy. Those left behind will endure hell on Earth.
Changing pronouns from third person to second person, Yahowah gets personal...
“Indeed, because (ky – branded by another, rather and instead, to the contrary) you have completely ignored and have actually forgotten, becoming ignorant of (sakah – you have ceased to care about, overlooked, and lost track of, no longer remembering and thus improperly responding to, forgetting about (qal perfect)) the God (‘elohym – the Mighty One) of your salvation and deliverance (yasha’ ‘atah – your Savior and your Liberator).
398And (wa) the Rock (tsuwr – the bedrock, the rocky summit of the mountain, the craggy elevation) of your protection and refuge (ma’owz ‘atah – of your fortification in a stronghold on high ground, keeping you safe from danger; from ‘azaz – making you strong and enabling you to prevail), you do not remember nor mention (lo’ zakar – you do not recall, regard, or respond to, you do not publicly assert the truth about, have no recollection of and neither value, name, nor proclaim).
Therefore (ken – likewise), you plant, embed, and erect (nata’ – you garden, you establish and entrench, causing to be rooted into the ground, you arrange and set upright, building a temporary residence by pitching a tent for) the vines and dwellings (neta’ – vineyards, acting as a husbandman to arrange and nurture the gardens and establish the residences which are built representing the unfaithful home of religious misunderstanding, permanently and firmly embedding them into society) of Adonis, the Lord (na’amanym – a deliberately distorted epithet for Adonis, meaning Lord (from ‘adony); a pleasant appearing and desirable, beautiful and beloved, and yet misunderstood pagan wound in the fertility garden of Adonis’ (written in the plural form and thus likely incorporating all of these ideas)).
And you continually sow it (zara’ huw’ – you routinely scatter the seed, creating the offspring (qal imperfect)) as an illegitimate, unauthorized, and loathsome means of estrangement (wa zar – as a nauseating and alienated, alien and foreign, wrong and distant place; from zuwr – to estrange through harlotry via a prostitute, whore, and harlot and be crushed as a consequence) via a vine or branch that needs to be pruned (zamowrah – a secondary, wild, and recent shoot or twig that is detestable and requires removal as well as an odious branch which is placed in the nose in pagan ritual worship and devotion; from zamar – to prune and trim 399away).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:10)
We have come to appreciate Yahowah’s preference for agricultural symbolism. For most of his history, man lived and worked in agrarian communities where these metaphors would have resonated – they still do today. If you recall, it was not all that long ago that Yah spoke of planting and tending His garden with His beloved Son, Dowd. Now we are confronted with a garden of a different sort, one devoted to rooting the Lord in the land and spreading Satan’s seeds.
The misguided husbandry is the result of forgetting about, ignoring, ceasing to care about, or just simply being ignorant of Yahowah. It does not matter if one is a Christian and has been led to falsely believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is their savior or if they have been deceived into believing that obeying a strict code of laws written by rabbis will save them. It is a simple truth: Yahowah and His Son, Dowd save our souls.
And while Orthodox Jews know that yasha’ speaks of freedom and salvation, they neither know nor use Yahowah’s name, negating yasha’s value and Yahowah’s purpose. Moreover, God’s lone prerequisite is to disassociate from the religion they relish.
The “tsuwr – rock” metaphor is indicative of several important aspects of Yah’s nature and plan. First, God is steadfast, as is the case with any large rock. This means that His testimony cannot be chiseled away and replaced with a Talmud or New Testament.
Second, the reference to the rock reminds us that His light and Towrah were presented atop the rocky summit of Horeb. Third, Yah’s instructions were chiseled in stone, making them dependable and unchanging. Tsuwr, therefore, alludes to the non-eroding rock-solid and 400unchanging nature of Yahowah’s testimony and to the enduring validity of His promises.
And fourth, rocks were used to build large and enduring homes, and none is larger or more everlasting than His. The foremost of them is Dowd, the Cornerstone of Yahowah’s Covenant Home.
Throughout the Torah and Prophets, several things become both obvious and irrefutable. Among them, losing sight of what Yahowah has revealed to us in His Towrah leads to disaster, death, and destruction. Yahowah’s nature, His plan, and His Word never change, making His promises rock solid.
It is widely recognized that na’amanym is being used here as an epithet for “the gardens and residences of Adonis, the Lord.” Throughout the Canaanite mythological texts, literature from Ugarit, and Egyptian hieroglyphics, the n’m root is also used to describe the “attractive nature of their leading deities, Anath and Ba’al.”
Ba’al was, of course, the Lord, and Anath was both Ba’al’s sister and helpmate, as well as his lover and consort. She is best known for fighting Ba’al’s battles. She was said to be the Blessed Virgin. The Egyptians saw ‘Ashtart and Anath as equivalent and during the Hellenistic Age, the characterizations of Anath and Astarte were blended together. In Hebrew, the n’m root, meaning both “beloved and singer,” presents the Lord as a counterfeit for Dowd, the Beloved songwriter of Yah.
All paths do not lead to God; in fact, all but one lead away from Him. The seeds sown by religion produce illegitimate and estranged children. Such growth is loathsome and nauseating from God’s perspective and as a result will be pruned away and discarded. So, it is telling that “zar – unauthorized, foreign, and wrong,” is based upon zuwr, which speaks of “being estranged and subsequently crushed” by a “whore and harlot.” This is a 401subtle reminder that the Whore of Babylon plays a leading role in man’s religious schemes.
It is also telling that zamowrah reveals the reason this alien vine must be pruned. It is not only a second and distinct branch, and thus similar to the Talmud and New Testament, it, is also associated with pagan rituals and worship.
It should be noted here that God is not punishing His wayward children. But He is not protecting them either, at least at this moment. He is pruning the vine, and therefore removing that which does not belong, not uprooting it.
As has already been insinuated, this divine pronouncement goes well beyond suggesting that Yisra’elites would forget Yahowah, their Savior, ignoring Him – which they have done by substituting their Talmud for His Towrah. Yah is accurately predicting that Yisra’elites would come to promote the Adversary.
Adonis was the Greek god of beauty and desire. His mythology often depicts him sowing seasonal gardens, which is the basis of this reference, explaining how we have come to associate na’amanym nata’ with Adonis, the Lord. Far, far worse, Adonis is written ‘adony in Hebrew, the Satanic title Yisra’elites have deployed 7,000 times in place of Yahowah’s name within the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr – therein serving as the literal fulfillment of this prophecy.
Adonis, under a variety of names, is a central figure in most religious mythologies. Adonis’ death, like the dying of the Christian god, kept the Lord forever young, youthful, and beautiful – and thus more appealing than the father of the gods. Not only is the Christian “Jesus” designed to serve as a younger, more appealing replacement for the God of the “Old Testament,” but keep in mind that Satan, represented by the Lord, is physically beautiful and appears 402desirable. He is far more likely to be adorned in glowing white robes.
The son of Phoenix, Adonis, like Jesus, was conceived to die and be resurrected. So, Adonis became the model for the Christian Christ with his annual death and rebirth.
Also telling, this mythical god is said to have become mortal. In this light, Adonis is a derivative of the Babylonian Tammuz and Bel, the Assyrian Ba’al, and the Egyptian Osiris, even the Greek Dionysus and Roman Bacchus. Adonis, like Tammuz, was killed by a wild boar, and like Nimrod (the forerunner of Tammuz), he was considered a mighty hunter.
His violent death became the foundation for the Yisra’elite propensity to weep for Tammuz. It is the myth that underlies the Roman Catholic devotion to Lent. Hauntingly, when the Lord (Adonis) died, his blood was said to bring forth new life, just as it does in the Christian religion – a belief system conceived and promoted by a Benjamite Jew: Sha’uwl, who chose the Roman name, Paul.
According to the Greeks, Adonis was born in Byblos, a place whose name Christian scholars will tell us became the Greek word for “book” and then was co-opted to become “Bible.” Christian apologists will say that this was because papyrus from Egypt, the material upon which the earliest codices of the Christian New Testament were written, grew in its swampy waters. Little do they know that Byblos was a Greek transliteration of the name of the Egyptian goddess, Biblia, from whom the town was named. And it should have been obvious because the ruins of Byblos are littered with shrines to the Egyptian goddess.
Little do these same Christian theologians know that Byblos, Biblia, and Bible are actually derived from Babel | With the Lord and thus in league with Satan. Little do they know that Babel | Bible is “Babylon,” or that it means: “to 403confuse by intermixing,” which is precisely what they have done – as did the rabbis before them and Muslims after them.
It is then especially telling that the legend of the Christian “Jesus,” was authored by Paul. It was born in the same place, the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It’s also telling that Sha’uwl put Dionysus’ words in his Lord’s mouth during their initial meeting on the road to Damascus, and that Paul commingled his Gospel of Grace with Greek Gnosticism and twisted “Old Testament” citations to confuse Gentiles sufficiently such that they would believe him.
In Walter Burkert’s Greek Religion, we find insights that shed additional light on Yahowah’s prophecy regarding Adonis and the religious worship of the Lord, especially in the context of planting and sowing. He wrote: “Women would sit by the gate weeping for Tammuz, or they would offer incense to Ba’al on rooftops and plant pleasant plants. These were the very features of the Adonis legend: which was celebrated on flat rooftops on which seeds were sown which quickly germinated, creating Adonis gardens...where the climax was loud lamentation for the dead god.”
As was the case with ‘Asherah, the Adonis cult “provided an opportunity for the unbridled expression of emotion in the strictly circumscribed life of women...in accordance with the festivals of Demeter,” according to Walter Burkert. Demeter was a mother-earth goddess associated with the harvest. She presided over “the sacred law and the cycle of life and death.”
The Feast of Adonis, celebrated in the Spring, coincides with Passover, and thereby serves as a confusing counterfeit for the Doorway to Life, just as is the case with the Christian Easter, which also celebrates the death and resurrection of their Lord. According to William Smith in 404A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities: “It was celebrated over two days. On the first, statues of Adonis were laid out as corpses and the faithful observed all of the rites customary at funerals, beating themselves and uttering lamentations, imitating the cries of Venus (the Roman name for ‘Asherah) over the death of her lover.
The second day was spent in merriment and feasting because Adonis was allowed to return to life.” This is remarkably similar to the Christian festivals of Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
In that the Roman Emperor Hadrian was a devotee, we know that the Adonis cult migrated from Athens to Syria in the 2nd century CE. Also telling, in 270 BCE, Theocritus describes a public and state-sponsored Adonis festival in Alexandria, Egypt – the location where all of the earliest Christian codices of the New Testament were scribed.
It was this religious tendency to promote Satan as the Lord that Yahowah was lamenting. As a result of planting these adversarial seeds, the Yisra’elites would receive a devastating blow from their enemies. This is what will lead to them being pruned and cause them to remain estranged for a while longer.
By way of review, the prophet revealed…
“In that specific day, this man will actually gaze upon, genuinely regard, and accept, turning to trust and properly respond to the ongoing gift which makes him acceptable from the Almighty, the One who engaged and acted to get this done, his Maker.
His eyes will choose to continuously look, finding delight in, while developing an understanding of the Set-Apart One of Yisra’el. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:7)
So, then he shall never accept or gaze upon, he will never favorably consider and will forsake, no longer turning to other than to negate, the altars and religious 405sites of slaughter and sacrifice, these works of his hands, representing what fingers have made.
They will not pay attention to nor consider that which is associated with ‘Asherahs / Mothers of the Gods / the Queens of Heaven / or the Madonnas with Child, especially not the worship of sun-god images which are leavened, embittering, oppressive, cruel, and ruthless. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:8)
In that specific day, it shall come to be that his defensive fortifications shall be abandoned and deserted consistent with an occult presence among the religious and merchants of death.
Then the uppermost branch of the olive will be completely deserted for a time, actually released for having accomplished the goal which is to help restore the relationship because of the turning away of the children of Yisra’el.
Then there will be appalling desolation and stupefying ruin, even astonishing defoliation of the trees and plant life, leaving these places ravaged and temporarily uninhabitable. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:9)
Indeed, because you have completely ignored and have actually forgotten, becoming totally ignorant of and ceasing to care about, no longer remembering and thus improperly responding to the God of your salvation and deliverance. And the Rock of your protection and refuge, you do not remember nor mention.
Therefore, you plant and establish, causing to be rooted and embedded, a tent for Adonis’ with the Lord’s vines and you erect his dwellings, thereby establishing his residences which represent the unfaithful home of religious misunderstanding.
406You have permanently and firmly embedded them into your society, and you continually sow the seed as an illegitimate, unauthorized, and loathsome means to estrangement that needs to be pruned, which is detestable and requires removal for its role in pagan ritual worship.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:10)
Yisra’el pushed Yahowah aside because He got in the way – circumscribing their ability to impose their religious and political mandates. Those who were chosen to be the messengers of the Divine, isolated and deceived themselves with all manner of religious arguments and political deceptions.
“In that day (ba yowm – at that time), you will grow and then carefully construct a barrier around (suwg – you will set out your plants and seek to make them productive, then protecting them by deliberately building a fence around them, controlling every aspect so as to turn oneself away through comparative resemblance) your garden (neta’ ‘atah – your plants, all of which are arranged in a particular order that was established by you).
And in the early part of the day when such things are considered (wa ba ha boqer – at the beginning or morning when secret omens are pondered), your seed (zera’ ‘atah – your means to propagate life, your offspring and children) will bud and sprout, sending out shoots (parach – will blossom and bloom) that will be heaped up and held on the wrong side of the barrier for having wavered and wandered away (ned – will flee and be barred; from nuwd – to waver and wander, to take flight while grieving, tottering while bemoaning) from the harvest (qatsyr – from the reaping, and therefore left vexed and grieving).
407In the daytime (ba yowm – around midday), there will be terminal disease and hopeless infirmity, weakness, affliction, and tribulation (chalah – there will be irredeemable wounds, and an inheritance of suffering, travail and grieving which cannot be resolved), including (wa – and) the influence of incurable and mortal (‘anuwsh – the onset of woeful and desperate human behavior, even unhealable, wicked, and incapacitating, completely irrecoverable) grief and mental anguish (ka’eb – emotional sorrow and mental suffering, disappointment and disaster).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:11)
We have a choice. We can till Yah’s garden for all it is worth, remove the weeds men have spread, and benefit from what He has offered. We can ignore what He has conveyed, as is becoming ever more popular in today’s Socialist Secular Humanist and Politically Correct culture. Or we can do as the religious have done and set out plants we prefer over God’s.
And that is the point being made here. This is not Yah’s garden but instead “neta’ ‘atah – your garden.” And you will notice that those who prefer their own over His, “suwg – deliberately build a hedge around their notions,” ostensibly to keep the faithful confined and their critics at bay.
Initially, man’s religious ideas “parach – sprouted and bloomed, with offshoots” spanning the globe. But there would be a horrible consequence. Just as eating what Yahowah had advised against in His Garden led to death, those who consume the fruit budding in man’s religious grounds will not be among those harvested during Taruw’ah. They “ned – will be barred, having fled” God. They will find themselves “ned – on the wrong side of the barrier, wavering and wandering away from” Yahowah while “tottering and bemoaning” their fate.
408And it is a horrible fate, because following the harvest that these misguided souls will miss, there will be a “yowm – day” of “chalah – terminal disease and incurable infirmity, of weakness, affliction, and even tribulation.” The “chalah – wounds inflicted at this time will be irredeemable,” causing all who suffer from them to “inherit” eternal “ka’eb – grief and sorrow, mental anguish and disappointment.” This is a time of “‘anuwsh – of incurable woe, of incapacitating and irrecoverable” self-inflicted wounds which are “unhealable.”
It is, therefore, as I have long suspected, a time in which those who have chosen poorly will have no hope of redemption. It is now too late. One is either with Yahowah or he or she is deemed adverse to Him and associated with the Adversary. At this point, the primary fate for human souls, that of ceasing to exist, will no longer be an option. We have reached the point in which all souls will either go to heaven or hell. Fortunately, it will not last long.
We should have suspected as much. In Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 30:7, the time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles was depicted with tsar, which speaks of the last days when Yisra’el will be “tsar – narrowed and confined in dire straits, greatly distressed by the Adversary and oppressed by enemy forces, caged in and besieged, vexed and harassed, feeling the sharp edge of the flint as a heated reaction is kindled and a sharp knife is used to cut and kill.” But while Yisra’el’s Tsar will be short-lived, the Adversary and those with him will be “tsar – besieged and confined, caged in, shut up and oppressed in a hostile, vexing, and diminutive place” forever in She’owl.
As is the case with Yahowah’s instructions regarding what’s good and what’s bad for us to eat, God is using a variety of examples to demonstrate that those who consume garbage, especially in the form of bad ideas, will get sick and die. He is therefore warning us to be careful 409regarding the seeds we plant because they can have the same effect.
He is not talking about gardens, although there is merit in comparing His Garden of ‘Eden to mankind’s genetically modified and pesticide-infused produce. God is letting us know that we have sown the weeds that have choked out productive life on this planet.
The fig tree, which represents Yisra’el, will sprout as a result of Yisra’elites returning to their Land. Having sown the seeds of dissent, they will reap the pain of separation. Estranged from God, aligned with evil, Israel’s initial success will give way to mental anguish and physical pain as their world crumbles around them. Unlike the few who are gleaned, they will endure the full brunt of Ya’aqob’s Adversity.
This next prophetic statement alerts us to the impending peril of a worldwide Islamic assault against Israel. Beginning on October 7th, 2023, and continuing in waves through the Spring of 2027, this tsunami of terrorism will be worse than the combined conquests of the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans. It will be more pervasive and vicious than the Holocaust. With these words, we are witnessing the prologue to World War...
“Woe, be wary of (howy – alas, expressing dissatisfaction in a declaration of impending judgment often as part of a prophetic warning regarding an impending calamity) the preponderance of the people of many nations (rabym ‘amym – a multitude of compatriots, an abundance of kinsmen related by race, religion, or culture, a large quantity of citizens and a great many individuals and countries, even numerous groups, and excessive followers) who will roar in as agitated hordes and confused terrorists (hamown – in vast multitudes of bewildered and loudmouthed militants flaunting their abundant wealth while clamoring emotionally with their 410worldly possessions in disorderly riots which are extensive and excessive, with the population agitated and enraged, disorderly, boisterous and tempestuous, crying out in turmoil, the masses congregating along with their troops for military purposes in a disturbing, noisy, and emotional manner) similar to (ka – as, like, akin to, and corresponding to) loudly groaning, stormy and enraged (hamah – confused and chaotic, uproarious and disturbing, intoxicated and snarling, growling and angry, infuriated, lamenting, and surging, distressing and disorderly, reflecting the religious, political, and social turmoil of the angry (qal infinitive construct – serving as a literal verbal noun bound to what follows)) seas (yamym – roaring bodies of water (as opposed to the Land and thus serving as a metaphor for gowym – Gentiles)).
They will choose to be constantly infuriated and uproarious, continually snarling and angry, driven by the winds of religious, political, and social desire (hamah – they will shout in agitated and anguished screams, snarling like confused and chaotic terrorists who are enraged and restless, and who have been incited into disturbing rage (qal imperfect paragogic nun, active jussive – actually and literally, in a habitual and continuous fashion with ongoing consequences reflecting their desire to do the will of the one directing them (in other words, they are choosing to do the will of their god, Allah))).
And then (wa – moreover) the corrupting roar of the destructive societal chaos (sha’own – the loud mocking cry as things crash down in ruins around the huge presumptuous crowds of rebellious, confused, political, and religious brawling militant terrorists panicked into fighting while wallowing in their depressed slime-pit amidst the wasteful desolation associated with She’owl; from sha’ah – to crash into lifeless ruins) of the people of these nations who are transformed while massing under an antiquated and unifying religious and political 411leader (la’om – of these population groups which gather together, a politically and religiously organized massing of people under a unifying government or leader who changes them in some way) will be like (ka – similar to) the horrible and destructive, desolating uproar (sha’own – the brawling and corrupting flood of the rebellious and confused chaos of those stuck in the pit of She’owl, a dark and massive black hole and depression which traps any object entering it) of a flood (maym – of the waters and surging sea).
Forcefully, and in great numbers (kabyr – in abundance and seeking fame and fortune, wickedly and intensely intertwined, thought to be extraordinarily powerful and fortunate, with grating passion), capitulating to the will of another, they will continually strive to destroy, moving rapidly while creating an uproar (sha’ah – they always want to ruin everything they touch, devastating themselves in the process, leaving lifelessness in their wake while blaring as they rush along, such that it is prudent to watch them very closely and intensely for a duration of time (niphal imperfect paragogic – habitually these jihadists are destroyed as they lay waste, acquiescing to the will of the one driving them)).” (Yasha’yah / Freedom is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:12)
This sounds a lot like what we witnessed during the Islamic terrorist assault against Israel on October 7th, 2023. And the way this was written, we’d be correct to conclude that this was just the first of ever-increasing waves of anguishing terror.
Howy is a warning, revealing that something is about to be said or occur that we should strive to avoid. Its purpose is to garner our undivided attention so that we do not find ourselves in the midst of what will soon be depicted. Hineh encourages us to look up to God to see what He is going to say for our benefit. Howy points us in 412the opposite direction, to see what horrible thing mankind will soon be perpetrating.
That is what is happening here. Yahowah is neither encouraging, supporting, nor predestining this onslaught of Islamic terrorism. He is simply revealing future history, telling us that a time is coming when the preponderance of Muslims will be incited to violence, when loudmouthed militants confused by their religion, will overwhelm the world in terror, destroying everything in their wake.
Rabym reveals that while each assault may exceed the carnage of tragedies such as 9.11.01, this will not be an isolated strike for Israel. The “preponderance of the population of many nations” will ultimately be involved, “most of them related by religion and race.” We are talking “multitudes,” many thousands and possibly millions of religiously enraged Muslims.
They will “hamown – be agitated and angry, confused by their religion and bewildered by what they experience.” As is the case with all jihadists, these “militants will be loudmouthed, emotionally clamoring” “Allahu-Akbar.” These “hordes of murderous men will be extensive, excessive, enraged, and highly disturbing in their riotous behavior.”
Yahowah is painting a picture with words, revealing that there will be so many militants that “ka hamah – they will be as loud and destructive as a stormy and surging” “yamym – sea of Gentiles.” The scene “will be confused and chaotic,” which suggests militants rather than militaries.” They “ka hamah – will be snarling and angry, disorderly and religious, intoxicated and infuriated.”
God is not suggesting that it will be a stormy day on the Mediterranean coast. Yamym is symbolic of Gowym / Gentiles. In such symbolism, the “‘erets – Land” represents Yisra’el while the “yamym – Sea” depicts the rest of the 413world. These are uproarious hordes of people, not waves of water.
And they will be Muslims, the lone faith which is “hamah – constantly producing infuriated, snarling religious devotees habitually doing the will of the one directing them,” their god, Allah. His Quran has “hamah – confused them and enraged them as they are driven by the winds of their angry and anguished religious and political societies.”
This is one of the rare times where a statement conveys first and third-person volition using the paragogic nun and jussive. This means that these jihadists have chosen to continually do the will of another. They have “Islam – surrendered to the demands of their god.” Little do they suspect that Allah is not only Satan, but that he and they will lose to Yahowah – the God they taunt with “Allahu-Akbar – Allah is Older, Bigger, and Greater” than the God of ‘Abraham, Ya’aqob, and Yisra’el. But as we shall soon discover, ‘akbar actually paints a far more de minimis portrait.
What follows is disturbing. The “la’om – antiquated population of these nations, this politically and religiously organized massing of people under a unifying government and religious leader which is somehow transformed,” will “ka – be as” “sha’own – horribly destructive and desolating” as “maym – floodwaters.” That is to say that this human opposition to God’s Chosen People and Land will be as unstoppable as a tsunami, inundating and destroying everything in its path.
But there is far more to sha’own than meets the eye of a casual observer. It was clearly selected for a number of reasons. Sha’own speaks of the “corrupting and confusing” nature of religion, addressing its “horrible propensity to rob souls of life.” It exposes the rebellious nature of Sha’uwl, the father of the Christian religion. It depicts these militants 414“stuck in the pit of She’owl.” It even describes this lightless prison as a “black hole – a dark and massive depression which traps every object entering it.” Further, the own suffix following sha’, suggests “a binding association” with “Sha’uwl and She’owl,” with “religion and politics,” with “destruction and death,” and with “confusing corruption.”
This is one of those moments in which my mind races. Sha’own lays it all out for us – man – naked and exposed, for all who dare “sha’ah – focus on what is being presented at this precise moment” so as to contemplate and understand the impetus and consequence of mankind’s most destructive, deadly, and damning creations: religion and politics. And this is occurring at the very moment the world is gathering in abject rebellion to obliterate what Yahowah loves: Yisra’el and Yahuwdym.
Religion is the opposite of what it claims. Rather than drawing believers to God, it pushes them away. It, like all political schemes, is rebellious in nature, substituting man’s words and ways, man’s means to enrichment and security, for God’s words and ways.
Remember when Shamuw’el told Yahowah that the people had rejected his counsel and had chosen Sha’uwl, the political way of the Gentiles over a relationship with God? Yahowah immediately and unequivocally responded and told Shamuw’el that the people were actually rejecting Him by choosing Sha’uwl. The same is true today, as a result of what occurred a thousand years later when far more people chose to believe “but I, Sha’uwl / Paul say,” rather than trust and rely upon Yahowah’s Towrah Teaching.
As a result of choosing to believe men rather than trust God, political and religious man has been “sha’own – confused and corrupted.” As a result, he has become 415“sha’own – horribly destructive, desolating and thus deadly.” Civilized man is a “warlike brawler.”
Let’s not miss Satan’s role in all of this. Wanting to shed the ha satan title, this wayward mal’ak turned to religion where he achieved his goal through intermingling truth and lies, through counterfeit and confusion. The Adversary was not only able to convince humankind that the old God’s words were antiquated, that they were for another time, people, and place, and needed to be updated and replaced, and thus rejected and ignored, he positioned himself as the Lord God of these religions.
In Judaism, men’s words take precedence over God’s words. The focus of Christianity is a dead god on a stick. In Islam, Allah is Satan. We are witnessing Satan’s Magnus Opus in these words: of the creation waging world war against the Creator on behalf of the Adversary. This is indeed worthy of our attention.
But that is just the beginning. Over the course of the past fifteen years as I have studied Yahowah’s words, I have come to realize that the fiery and torturous nature of the Christian and Islamic hell was irrational. She’owl is a place for souls, and thus energy, not physical bodies, rendering the notions of fire and torture absurd.
Further, with Yahowah describing Himself as “Light,” eternal separation from Him had to be in total darkness and serve as a means to eternally trap even energy from escaping. These realizations led me to conclude that She’owl was akin to a black hole.
But this was simply an extrapolation reasoned from the evidence, until this moment. Sha’own describes the lightless prison of She’owl as “a black hole – a dark and massive depression which traps every object entering it, which is both destructive and desolating.”
416It was only fifty years ago that the concept of a black hole became widely known. And we discovered that they were massive depressions in spacetime from which nothing escapes (albeit hot, it radiates heat). We have come to realize that black holes are the most destructive and desolating phenomena in the universe. And yet, here in a text written 2,700 years ago, they are being depicted as such in conjunction with mankind’s most destructive, deadly, and damning behavior. That is yet another “Ah Ha!” moment.
I am left wondering if the most thrilling aspect of this is finding the cause and consequence of rebelling against Yahowah through religious and political schemes by way of patriotism and militarism? Might the most titillating facet be the correlation between the two Sha’uwl’s, the political one and the religious one, with their juxtaposition into this story revealing why man is now at war with God? Or is it the scientific depiction of a black hole, thereby providing yet another reason to acknowledge that Yasha’yah was inspired to write these words by Yahowah? Or could it be a celebration of the God-given human capacity to reason, to find these precious nuggets and connect them in such a way that we come to understand? After all, sha’own serves to affirm that my reasoning had indeed been right. It is a tribute to Yah for providing these clues along with giving us the ability to use them to answer our questions.
It is becoming increasingly obvious as to why Yahowah had to glean His favorite olives from the Tree of Lives. The “sha’ah – devastation will be swift, forceful, and of unimaginable magnitude.” Those “kabyr – seeking fame and fortune who are wickedly intertwined” with their religion, “will leave a wake of wasteful destruction and complete desolation.”
Kabyr, itself, offers scintillating insights. Khaybar is where the phrase “Allahu-Akbar!,” the Islamic “Prayer of 417Fear,” and Satan’s ultimate ambition, was first shrieked by his religious devotees. After failing on his first attempt to subjugate Mecca, Muhammad and his booty-driven Muslim militants laid siege on the Jewish farming community of Khaybar.
With weapons of war pitted against spades and hoes, Muhammad felt like taunting these Jews, telling them that his god, Allah, was greater than their God, Yahowah. It was as if the spirit behind the terrorizing Islamic murderers, robbers, and rapists was greater than the Spirit who inspired these Yisra’elites to support their families, to live in peace, to be productive, and to till the land because the Muslim militants wielding weapons were willing and able to obliterate the Jewish gardeners. And so after disrespecting God to placate their wannabe god, the Muslims murdered the men, raped the women, and enslaved the children of Khaybar, looting and pillaging what remained.
Turning the clock forward 1,400 years, this Islamic assault on Yisra’el will become the ultimate expression of Khaybar. This time “kabyr – those wickedly seeking fame and fortune will act far more forcefully, they will come in far greater numbers, they will brawl with better weapons, and they will manifest a far more perverted passion.”
And speaking of perverted, recognizing that Arabic is a direct derivative of Hebrew, and borrows from the same alphabet, I did some digging around to find the original intent of ‘akbar. “‘Akbar – mouse or rat” is from Strong’s 5909. And that is to say that Allah is the Mouse who Roared. The Islamic god is “a dirty little critter prone to spread disease,” and “a real rat when grown.”
In this vein, due to their diet, proclivity to live in the shadows of humans, and attract fleas, rats and mice have indirectly plagued and killed more humans than all other animals combined. So now including Allah’s Islam, this 418realization expands Yahowah’s depiction of “the Plague of Death” beyond Pauline Christianity.
If you search to validate this on your own, which I always encourage, do not be led astray by the Islamic apologists who errantly transliterate ‘akbar as ‘achbar, and who claim, relying upon the superfluous Masoretic diacritical markings from the 11th century, that it was pronounced differently, making the connection dubious. Fact is, the Hebrew word for “mouse,” ‘akbar, is spelled identically in the original language as it is in the derivative tongue. Allahu Akbar means “Allah is a Mouse.”
I would be remiss if I didn’t expose those who deceive in Allah’s name. On WordPress.com, under YahyasNow, we find: “There is a claim being branded [sic – should have been bandied] about on the internet within Islamophobic circles that dictates “AllahuAkbar means Allah is a mouse in Hebrew. This is an obvious falsity based on ignorance and/or deception. “Allah Akbar” means Allah is the greatest (a more literal translation is: Allah is greater [compared to whom this wannabe scholar was unable or unwilling to acknowledge]). Akbar refers to greatest. In Hebrew, the word for mouse is Achbar. In the Hebrew word for “mouse, the Kaf – k (the second letter, reading from right to left) omits the dagesh (the dot in the middle of the letter), therefore the pronunciation of achbar is not with a “k” sound but with a “ch” sound.” Liars lie, that is what religious deceivers do best.
While we are on the subject of the bloody consequence of the world tolerating, even coddling and supporting, the satanically-inspired, deadly, and terroristic religion of Islam, let’s consider what Yahowah has to say about Allah being an ‘akbar.
Derived from “‘akabysh – web of a spider,” both ‘akbar and ‘akabysh emerge from the same root, meaning “to lure in, entangle, and trap prey.” That is the purpose of 419religion in general and Islam in particular. Allah, who is actually Satan, has laid a trap for the unwary throughout the Quran. And Muhammad was played for a fool by the spirit who possessed him.
‘Akabysh is found in Yasha’yah 59: “Your twisted perversions (‘awon) have led to separation based upon a difference in understanding between (badal byn) you and your God. Your offensive attitude and behavior (chata’ah) have hidden His presence from you, such that He will not listen (lo’ shama’). (59:2) For your hands are stained, defiled, and polluted (ga’al) with blood and your fingers with dishonest exploitations (‘awon). Your lips have spoken deceptive lies – knowingly promoting fraud (sheqer). Your tongue has mused and muttered, meditated and imagined (hagah), that which is perversely invalid and wickedly unjust (‘ewel). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 59:3)
No one calls out (qara’) for that which is correct or right (tsadaq) nor does anyone exercise good judgment (shaphat) regarding the truth, that which is steadfast and dependable (‘amuwnah). They complacently trust, carelessly placing their confidence (batach) upon confounding and confusing myths out of the abyss which are meaningless, wasteful, and vain (tohuw) and they speak and write (dabar) worthless falsehoods, devastating and ravaging deceptions, and lifeless lies which negate all that is correct and useful (showa’ (the unforgivable sin delineated in the 3rd statement God etched in stone and the name of the rabbinic system of altering the sound of letters to change the pronunciation of Yahowah’s name)). They conceive and contrive (harah) troublesome toil and mischievous labor (‘amal (addressing the burdensome rules religious Jews are subjected to in the Talmud)) and beget and bring forth (yalad) a troubling propensity for and devotion to religious idolatry (‘awon). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 59:4)
420They conceive and hatch, breaking open (bara’) serpent’s, and thus Satan’s (tsepha’), eggs (betsah), and they weave, braiding the intrigue (‘arag) of the spider’s (‘akabysh) web, stringing its threads (quwr). He who consumes and devours (‘akal) their eggs (betsah) will perish and die (muwth). And the one who is trodden upon and crushed (zuwreh (the prophetic consequence of Roman Catholicism on the world)) is conceived and hatched by, breaks out among and cleaves to, and then is broken down and torn apart by (bara’) the debilitating toxic and deadly viper (‘epheh).” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 59:5)
And if I may share a snippet from the final chapter of Yasha’yah, this one revealing the fate of “‘akbar – mouse.” “For (ky) behold (hineh), Yahowah will come (bow’) with fire (‘esh) and with His chariot (merkabah) like a whirlwind (suwphah) to render (shuwb) His anger (‘aph), and yes, His extreme disappointment (wa ken ‘aph) with righteous indignation (chemah), and will rebuke (ga’ar) with flames of fire (‘ahab ‘esh basar). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 66:15)
For (ky) by fire (‘esh) and by His cutting instrument (chereb), Yahowah will proceed to execute judgment (shaphat) with regard to all humanity (‘eth kol basar). And the pierced and fatally wounded (chalal) by Yahowah shall be a great many (rabab). (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 66:16)
Then those who set themselves apart as somehow sacred or holy (qadash qadash), and think themselves clean and pure, even moral (taher taher) with regard to going into (‘el) the garden (ganah) after (‘achar) their chosen individual (‘echad (Paul or Muhammad)) who separates them, dividing things into two distinct parts (tawek (addressing the Christian New Testament and the Quran)), devouring (‘akal) swine’s (chazyr) flesh (basar), detestable things like vermin and idols (sheqets), and 421the mouse (‘akbar), shall be done away with and terminated (suwph) together as if they were one (yachad), prophetically states in advance of this occurring (na’um) Yahowah.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 66:17)
Christians celebrate the Babylonian religious holiday of Easter in their association with ‘Asherah by consuming ham – swine’s flesh in association with detestable vermin and idols. And we have just discovered that the mouse is Allah, identifying the latter as Muslims. Turns out, Yahowah sees these religious foes as indistinguishable, equally detestable in their idolatry, and will obliterate faithful Christians and Muslims as if they were one and the same.
Now with Allah properly depicted and with his human helpers appropriately scolded, let’s return to the text of this truly amazing prophecy.
As we progress through Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:12, we find these belligerents: “sha’ah – capitulating to the will of another, continuing to destroy, rapidly killing everyone in their path, albeit destroying themselves in the process.” Death will be so swift that it will be prudent for the world to pay very close attention to what is happening before their eyes.
There are several ways to interpret Yahowah’s references to the seas and floodwaters. The first is obvious from the immediate context, as it reflects the nature of water. Tsunami waves may be the most destructive force on Earth, but so are stormy seas, particularly those driven by massive storms as they roar ashore, flooding and eroding everything in their path.
Nearly as deadly, floodwaters are typically widespread, massive in scope, unstoppable, and devastating. Therefore, it would be reasonable to assume that this predicted attack on Israel is going to be perpetrated by vast multitudes of people coming into the Land wave 422after wave, loudmouthed, relentless, and awesomely destructive. They will be unstoppable and deadly as they inundate the Land.
The second option is nearly certain. It stems from the symbolic distinction Yahowah often makes between the land and the sea, with the Land representing Yisra’el and the sea denoting the Gentile nations. As such, the reference reveals a collective attack by Gowym against Yahuwdym.
The third consideration is tactical, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least present it for your consideration. Since Yahowah has said that a multitude of people from a great number of nations will flood into Yisra’el, we might be wise to envision a seaborne invasion from all directions – with the militants crashing into the land in waves. Under this scenario, many will come from the west aboard ships sailing across the Mediterranean Sea. These militants will have been indoctrinated to despise Israel in Turkey, Lebanon, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and Cyprus – all of which exist along the Great Sea. France, Spain, and Italy are home to more than eight million Muslims.
The Balkan nations around the Mediterranean have large Islamic populations, especially Bosnia, Albania, and Kosovo. But let’s not rule out Islamic jihadists from the Caucasus who will likely sail across the Black Sea and through the Bosporus Straits into the Aegean Sea before washing ashore in the Promised Land. The nations they hail from might include Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, or Chechnya. Then from the south, sailing up the Red Sea, we might expect jihadists from Somalia, the Sudan, Chad, Niger, Mali, Nigeria, Yemen, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Oman, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
423And while that covers the Muslims who may approach from the Seas, we should also consider the floodwaters. In Israel, there is but one floodplain, and it is found in the northeast part of the country in Galilee, just below the Syrian Golan Heights. Through this now-vulnerable portal, we might expect millions of mujahideen from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia to flood into Yisra’el.
Or, of course, this could be a reflection of what we predicted previously, that Iran will coordinate an attack on Israel from every direction, overwhelming the IDF. Such an attack would be considerably more devastating than October 7th, 2023.
There are 1.8 billion Muslims, many of whom are jihadists. They comprise a majority in 50 nations, controlling those places, while influencing the rest of the world with their carrot and stick: OPEC oil and terrorism. They have already engaged to destroy Israel five times, during the Holocaust in the 1930s, in 1948, 1967, 1973, and 2023. And yet, according to this prophecy, their most egregious assault is still on our horizon, a war that will follow a peace treaty that renders Israel indefensible.
If you think that I’m being presumptuous associating these “uproarious hordes of agitated terrorists” who “continually strive to ruin everything they touch, destroying themselves in the process” as “Muslims,” remember that the past is the best predictor of the future. Their campaigns over the last 1,400 years, and especially during the most recent 70, leave little doubt that those who assail Israel the most vociferously, those who have pledged to destroy the nation, those who commit 99% of today’s terrorist acts, those whose militaries have been equipped for this very mission, and those that have attempted this very thing multiple times, are obviously the same people being depicted in this prophecy. Muslims were given a reason to die by Muhammad, not live, a reason to destroy by Allah, not build, so this battle is inevitable.
424Mujahideen by the tens of millions, looting, destroying, and killing everything in sight while shouting “Allahu Akbar!” will once again attempt to destroy God’s land and people. Sadly, much of their devastation will be caused by American weapons because the United States is the world’s leading merchant of death.
Yahowah’s prophetic words are selected with precision, so subtle nuances become particularly important when various terms are used to describe similar events. There are many important shadings which should not be overlooked. We have been told that multitudes will scream and lay waste. With pomp and tumult, the Islamic jihadists from nations the world over will roar loudly and destroy everything in their path, devastating themselves in the process.
This sounds a lot like the carnage we are currently witnessing in Syria, which we have been told will be the prelude to this war. The cries of the mujahideen will be as angry and relentless as the raging of the sea. Devoid of morals, confused and enraged by their religion, these Muslims will take what is not theirs and destroy what they do not take. It is gang mentality manifest in religion and politics on a massive scale.
This prophetic vision was horrific, so Yahowah must have been pained to share these words with us 2,700 years ago. A demonic and deadly religious plague would run rampant and unchecked in His earthly home. This is sha’own…
“The archaic people of these nations who are massing under a religious and political leader (la’om – the population groups which gather together, this politically and religiously organized entity of antiquated people congregating under a unifying government or religious leader), like (ka – similar to) widespread and innumerable (rabym – massive, abundant, great, 425extensive, and excessive), horribly destructive and deadly (sha’own – corrupting and confusing, rebellious and brawling, uproarious and chaotic, presumptuous and mocking, political and religious, ensnared by Sha’uwl and trapped in She’owl, depressed and terrorizing, dark and massive), floodwaters (maym – waters) will be devastating and desolating (sha’ah – capitulating to the will of another, they will continually strive to lay waste, moving rapidly while creating an uproar, ruining everything they touch, destroying themselves in the process, leaving lifelessness in their wake while blaring as they rush along, such that it is prudent to watch them very closely and intensely for a duration of time (niphal imperfect paragogic – habitually these jihadists are destroyed as they lay waste, acquiescing to the will of the one driving them)).
But (wa – then) He will rebuke them, issuing a warning against them while criticizing their corruption (ga’ar ba huw’ – He will disapprove and reprimand them, accusing them of wrongdoing, exposing and admonishing them by explaining the errors of their ways in an insulting manner while angrily censuring them (rendered from the DSS)).
And so (wa), they will be swiftly driven away, denied and deprived of what they had sought, they shall disappear (nuws – they will be withheld, forced to flee, and depart, gone, no longer existing in their previous form (qal stem, perfect conjugation, consecutive mood) (commonly translated as nus)), going away into a distant place of alienation (min merchaq – removed and separated to a location which is far away).
And they will be chased (wa radaph – so then he will be pursued and driven away, hunted down and hounded, even harassed before they vanish) just as the chaff (ka mots – like worthless husks, comparable to the non-fruit portion of the grain that is discarded and blown away) on 426the hills (harym – upon the elevated heights and mountains), before the approaching presence (la paneh – as a result of the appearance) of the Spirit (ruwach), and like (wa ka) a rolling ball of idolatrous dung spinning like a tumbleweed in a whirlwind (galgal – a tumbleweed, the dead and dried calyx of a thistle, a whirling chariot wheel as part of a weapon of war or troop transport; from the same root as galal – dung, giluwl – religious idols, golgoleth – skull, galyl – circuitous, galah – to expose, reveal, and remove, and galal – to roll away) before the approaching presence (la paneh) of the storm (suwphah – of the blowing gale, tempest, and wind which brings an end to everything; from suwph – depicting the Gulf of Aqaba where the Egyptian army drowned while pursuing the Children of Yisra’el, thereby fulfilling and completing that which has been promised in the end).” (Yasha’yah / Deliverance is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:13)
Muslims, wielding the weapons developed in Christian nations, with the encouragement of Socialist Secular Humanists, are going to act heinously, exhibiting the most destructive and deadly behavior the world has ever seen. They will roar into Yisra’el like a massive flood, like a tidal wave. But they will fail. Yahowah is going to blow them away. Bellowing “Allahu Akbar!,” believing that they are killing in the cause of their wannabe god, the one true God will pursue them, sending them into oblivion.
This is now the second occurrence of “la’om – antiquated people of these nations who are congregating under a unifying religious and political leader.” Its archaizing quality speaks of “people who are changed, altered, and transformed, becoming different as a result of an out-of-date doctrine.” Immediately after we complete our analysis of Yasha’yah 17, we’ll turn our attention to la’om and see where it leads.
What we already know of this la’om is that the massing of people under a devilish political and religious 427leader will be widespread and innumerable. And they will be “sha’own – horribly destructive and deadly, corrupting and confusing, uproarious and presumptuous and mocking morons drawn into She’owl.”
This is the height of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, when Yisra’el is encompassed by “sha’ah – devastating lifelessness as a result of those who have capitulated to the will of Allah” – Islam’s terrorist deity. God even asks us to pay special attention to them, because a lot can be learned when we consider Satan’s handiwork and the ill effects of religion.
But you’ll notice, Yahowah isn’t asking us to stop them, even if we could. This is a different time, a different situation, than anything before. God, Himself, is going to intervene, something He has not done for twenty centuries. And He is going to do it His way. First, He is going to “ga’ar – rebuke them, openly and bluntly criticizing the corruption” behind their abhorrent behavior, “exposing it while reprimanding them, even insulting them for their ignorance and immorality.”
Then He is going to “nuws – deny them what they sought and swiftly drive them away.” But that is just the second of three actions. In the third, He is “min merchaq – removing them from the Land and dispatching them to a place of separation and alienation: She’owl.” Goodbye and good riddance.
Having accurately depicted the fate of Muslims, as well as the Christians and Secularists in league with them, Yahowah paints the scene for us, vividly portraying the process. These religious militants will be “radaph – pursued, harassed, and chased away such that they vanish from sight.” It will be as if they were “mots – dried up and worthless husks, chaff which is discarded and blown away.”
428The irony is delicious because the religion which has demeaned, subjugated, and abused women more than any other will be “ka galgal – treated like rolling balls of idolatrous dung tumbling in a whirlwind” before the Ruwach Qodesh / Set-Apart Spirit – the feminine and motherly aspect of Yahowah’s nature. Even in moments of righteous indignation, God has a sense of humor.
Although it will be tabled until late in the next chapter, the reference to the tumbleweed and the chaff being blown away by the Spirit in Yasha’yah 17:13 leads us to Mizmowr / Psalm 83. We will turn to it because it explains precisely what is happening here, just as Mizmowr / Psalms 22 and 88 foretell the fulfillment of the Miqra’ey by Dowd.
While Yahowah’s Set-Apart Spirit is going to stop the religious assault, blowing the invading militants out of His Land, another “suwphah – storm” is approaching. It is indicative of the transition to the second and perhaps third phases of the worldwide Islamic assault on Israel. But then an even more devastating storm is going to devour a third of those who remain. Based upon what follows in Yasha’yah 18, it is likely that America will reengage, turning a regional conflict into a world war – drawing in Europe, China, Russia, Turkey, and the remainder of the Islamic world.
It has become blatantly obvious: Yahowah is not the least bit tolerant of religion, politics, or militarism, nor the economic endeavors that prosper as a result of these things, especially when they are inspired by the Adversary and seek to destroy His people, His land, and His purpose. These religious zealots will be as repulsive and destructive as the world has ever seen, devastating everything in their path – all in the name of the most militaristic religion and demonic god ever conceived by man. Corrupt beyond hope, Yahowah realizes that if He does not intervene at this time and eradicate them, left to their own devices, this 429flood of militants would destroy His Land and people, making Yisra’el uninhabitable.
However, as we shall learn, Yahowah only intervenes to save Yisra’el, not the rest of the world. And He only does so at the very last moment, so that His people finally realize that they cannot defend themselves. He is not offering to protect the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, or the Middle East.
In this war, the odds in human terms are too great, with Muslims outnumbering Yisra’elites 1.8 billion to 7 million. Equally revealing, while Israel has successfully defended itself against the unified rage of Islam in 1948, 1967, and 1973, this time, they will no longer have the capacity to do so. American weapons will turn the tide, requiring Yahowah to intervene. As has been noted, over the past decade the United States has provided twenty-five times more military hardware to Islamic nations than it has to Israel. These are odds that cannot be humanly overcome.
Anti-Semitic rage will escalate worldwide, as will mankind’s propensity through propaganda and patriotism to turn this regional religious conflict into a global war. Anti-Jewish rhetoric is already on the rise in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It may even lead to a nuclear holocaust with Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia initiating the carnage and America responding, drawing Russia, China, and Europe into the fray.
According to the timeline Yahowah has provided, before the approaching storm of World War III, there will be an onslaught of Islamic terrorism. Many will die. And yet, Muslims will fail in their attempt to destroy Israel. According to God, death and devastation will be the lot of those who loot and prey upon Yahowah’s favorite place and upon His chosen people.
Hauntingly, while Muslims try, America has been the only nation to successfully plunder Israel of her most 430valuable and important asset – her God-given gift: the Promised Land. The United States forced Israelis to give back the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza, then southern Lebanon, followed by control of large swaths of the West Bank. America did so because it wanted to sell arms to the Islamic nations and to buy oil more cheaply. This has earned the U.S. the wrath of God. He will soon warn America in this prophecy, a plea designed to encourage those who listen to Him to disassociate from the U.S. government and its military. Now is the worst time to be political and patriotic.
Five years ago, back on the day I first analyzed this passage, on March 3, 2014, a BBC headline read: “President Barack Obama warned Israel of ‘international fallout’ if it does not accept the U.S. framework of a peace deal with the Palestinians.” This deal would have reset the borders between Israel and a future “Palestinian” state, while determining the status of Jerusalem. Still festering in the minds of those who proposed it, this is the basis of the treaty that diminishes Israel in width at the nation’s midsection to less than five miles. Inexplicitly, America has positioned itself in direct opposition to God.
In our desire to understand the who, what, where, why, and when of this prophecy we have jumped ahead in Yahowah’s story. For now, He wants us to know that the next time Islamic jihadists attack Yisra’el en masse, He, Himself, will intervene to stop them abruptly.
“Approaching the timing (la ‘eth – nearing the point in time and occasion, upon the season for the events) of the noxious religious disorder and mixing together of the Arab Awakening and Sunset (‘arab / ‘ereb – of the rising up of the Arabians, the evening of foreigners, the night of religious upheaval when many intermingle and make a pledge to join in and participate in something extremely toxic and deadly, the close of the day when things grow dark with the arrival from the desert of foreign people who are aroused from a cultural wasteland (note: ‘arab – Arab, 431Arabian, desert wasteland, to mix together, and to make a pledge to join in and participate together creating religious disorder, ‘ereb – sundown, night, and foreign people, ‘oreb – noxious flies, are written identically in paleo-Hebrew); from ‘er / ‘uwr – to be roused and awakened), then behold (wa hineh – pay very close attention to them, look now and see them, right here) terror! (ballahah – enormously dreadful and fear-inducing terrorism, the shock and awe of calamitous destruction perpetrated on civilians by armed militants, sudden and startling destruction by terrorists who have long enjoyed and take great pleasure in perpetrating heinous acts of terror which result in the cessation of life and physical decomposition in the name of Allah that seeks to oppress through domination; from balah – to make afraid and to dishearten the will of others by totally enjoying and using to the fullest the desire to inflict the severe distress and dreadful trouble associated with terrorism and balal – to mix together and commingle to confuse and confound).
In the time before (ba terem – with the arrival of) the dawn, this large migration of asses, and the consideration of such things (boqer / baqar – the morning of inspection and perception, the arrival of light to be observant and judgmental regarding these herds of animals, sunrise and daybreak, the next morning after the religiously inspired and clandestine sacrifice whose implications elicit an appropriate response), they are no more (‘ayn huw’ – they are gone and negated, they are for naught because they fail, there are no more questions, declarations, or propositions, it is over and they cease to exist).
This (zeth – specifically and contextually) is the fate of those deceived by seductive words, the consequence of their choices (cheleq – this is what happens as a result of flattering, misleading, and persuasive propaganda that promotes wrongdoing, the ruinous reward and allotment of those seeking territory based upon lies, the devastating 432share of what is apportioned to those who have been seduced by sexually suggestive speech, errant opinions, and illegitimate praise), of marauders who plunder and pillage Us (shasah ‘anachnuw – of raiders who engage as militants trying to ransack and rob Us by force (qal participle active)), and (wa) the allotment and retribution (gowral – the reprisal and rough recompense, the reckoning and lot set in stone, the portion and payback, even the destiny) of those (la – coming to those) who seek to conquer Us, carrying off the spoils of war because they despise Us (bazaz ‘anachnuw – who use force and engage in battle to prey upon Us, seizing what belongs to Us militarily, who show contempt for Us and disrespect Us).” (Yasha’yah / Salvation is from Yahowah / Isaiah 17:14)
Throughout this commentary on Yasha’yah 17, an accusing finger has been pointed toward Islamic Jihadists. The connection was obvious, albeit previously unstated. This then puts an end to any speculation. The combatants attacking Yisra’el are Arabs, 99% of whom are Muslims.
Rather than the “Arab Spring,” this is the “Arab Sunset,” the ultimate consequence of Islam’s destructive and deadly nature. The word ‘ereb, meaning “the lack of light,” is indistinguishable in the Hebrew text from ‘arab, the desolate places and race universally associated with Islamic terrorism. As a result of Islam, “Arab” and “Muslim” are considered synonymous and thus indistinguishable.
And speaking of indistinguishable, there is no distinction between Islamic ambitions and behavior and what has been foretold throughout this prophecy. Muslims reaffirm each day that Yahowah’s prophecies of them through Ishmael, were accurate: their hand is raised against their brother, their brother’s hand is raised against them, and they live in hostility with the entire world.
433‘Arab and ‘ereb vividly foretell of “the rising up of the Arabians, a time of foreign invasion, a night of religious upheaval when many will intermingle and make a pledge to join in, promoting the mantra of the world’s most toxic and deadly religion.” “Things will grow especially dark when these desert dwellers are aroused from their cultural wasteland and swarm into the Land like noxious flies.”
Not only is ‘Arab synonymous with darkness and death, Allah’s name is found in the midst of the Hebrew word for “terror” – ballahah. We should not be surprised that Muslims following Allah’s Quranic orders are responsible for over 99% of the world’s terrorist acts.
Yahowah just revealed: ‘Arab hineh ballahah / Arab = Terror in the Name of Allah. And He did so, committing this prophecy to writing, 1,350 years before Muhammad promoted Allah’s Black Stone out of the Ka’aba’s pantheon of 365 Arabian rock gods and transformed previously peaceful Arabs into Islamic Terrorists.
If you are receptive, thoughtful, informed, and rational, the implications are transformational. And speaking of such, considering how Muhammad and his satanic influence, Allah, changed Arabs, we have yet another indication as to why Yahowah selected “la’om – antiquated people who are transformed under a unifying leader or religious influence” to describe them.
Ballahah is exceptionally revealing. In a word, it is “terror.” Ballahah presents “enormously dreadful and fear-inducing terrorism, the shock and awe of calamitous destruction perpetrated on civilians by armed militants.” But more than this, ballahah reveals that “Allah’s terrorists have long enjoyed and take great pleasure in perpetrating heinous acts which result in the cessation of life.” Muslims “celebrate death.” Their “physical decomposition of life and labor seeks to subjugate through domination.”
434Moreover, the Quran, as a cesspool of pagan lore, bastardized the Talmud and twisted New Testament stories, in conjunction with a thieving terrorist mentality, is “balah – a mixing together and commingling of barbarian and religious notions designed to confuse and confound.” Islam rules by “balah – fear, disheartening the will of others in the cruelest and most perverted way, whereby the belligerents are seen totally enjoying their sadistic behavior, revealing an unrestrained desire to glorify terrorism, death, oppression, anti-Semitism, and anti-feminism.”
Fortunately, Yahowah loves His family sufficiently to hate Islam. As this horrible Arabian night concludes with “boqer / baqar – the rising of the morning sun, there will be plenty to consider. The religiously inspired animals will finally elicit an appropriate response.”
They “‘ayn – will cease to exist and there will be no more declarations or questions.” Just as it is darkest right before the dawn, so it will be with the consequence of this horrid religion. Yahowah’s intervention through His Spirit will usher in a new day. Islam will be no more. All of Allah’s ambitions will be for naught. Never again will the world be haunted by “Allahu-Akbar!” because this parasitic religion will be without a host.
In this light, it should be noted that the Quran’s 8th surah, appropriately called the “Spoils of War,” says: “Plunder is lawful and good.” Methinks Yahowah disagrees. That is why perhaps “cheleq – the fate of those deceived regarding their merits by persuasive words and poor choices” defines the entire Quranic motivation for Islamic terrorism: “the seductive promise of stolen booty in this world and of unending sexual favors in paradise in the next” for those Muslims who terrorize on behalf of Allah.
435Muslims “cheleq – have been played for fools, deceived by the dumbest, most delusional, and deadliest, the most immoral and demented religion.” They have been “beguiled by thinly disguised lies, by absurd sexual suggestions, by wholly errant opinions, and by illegitimate praise.” And as a result, they have become “shasah – plundering marauders who pillage civilians by force, militants who ransack the unprotected.” They are despicable cowards who prey on the weak and defenseless.
Islam has caused countless Muslims to “bazaz – seek to conquer” Israel and “despise” Jews. No religion in human history, not even the mindset of Hitler’s Mein Kampf, has congealed “more contempt” for God’s Chosen People, nor caused “more militants to use force and engage in battle to rob Us” of what God has given.
And make no mistake, “‘anachnuw – Us” was spoken in first person, making this all very personal with God. Muslims will have attacked His family and home for the last time.
We have moved well beyond innuendo or coincidence here. Yahowah reveals that the terrorists will be Muslims fighting for Allah’s Cause. And He documented this in writing around 750 BCE, 1,350 years before Islam was invented, and 2,750 years before these Muslims would terrorize Israel on behalf of their wannabe god.
As a reflection of His love for Yisra’el and Yahuwdah, as an affirmation of being just, there will be “gowral – an allotment of retribution, reprisal through recompense, a reckoning which has been set in stone.” Muslims will pay with their lives for what they have done.
We have covered so much territory, I suspect that we would all benefit from a review. To keep our bearings and bring the 17th chapter to a close, remember that this prophecy began with the destruction of Damascus and the fall of Syria, something which led to the process of thinning 436Yisra’el at the nation’s vital midsection. We witnessed a gleaning of the Covenant’s children prior to what may possibly be a chemical or biological attack on the nation’s cities, resulting in deforestation and devastation (although this could also be the result of the Spirit blowing this chaff away).
But no matter the cause, this is occurring because Yisra’elites came to rely upon themselves rather than Yahowah. These events were followed by an Islamic invasion of Israel, one so unrelenting and devastating, Yahowah will have to intervene to stop it.
With this in mind, let’s review where we have been...
“In that day, your garden and your plants, all of which are arranged in a particular order established by you, will grow by constructing a barrier around it, controlling every aspect so as to turn oneself away through comparative resemblance.
And in the early part of the day, when such things are considered, your seed will bud and sprout, sending out shoots that will be heaped up and held on the wrong side of the barrier for having wavered and wandered away from the harvest and reaping, and therefore will be left vexed and grieving.
In the daytime, there will be terminal disease and hopeless infirmity, weakness, affliction, and tribulation, irredeemable wounds, and an inheritance of suffering that cannot be resolved, including the influence of incurable, mortal, incapacitating, and completely irrecoverable grief and mental anguish. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:11)
Woe, be wary of the preponderance of the people of many nations, of those related by race, religion, and culture with excessive followers who will roar in hordes of agitated and confused terrorists, in vast multitudes 437of bewildered and loudmouthed militants flaunting their abundant wealth while clamoring emotionally with their worldly possessions in disorderly riots which are extensive and excessive, with the population agitated and enraged.
They will cry out in turmoil, the masses congregating along with their troops for military purposes in a disturbing and emotional manner similar to the loud groaning of stormy and enraged, wind-driven seas of Gentiles, who will choose to be constantly infuriated and uproarious, continually snarling and angry, electing to be driven by the winds of religious, political, and social desire.
And then you will hear the corrupting roar of societal chaos, a loud mocking cry as things crash down in ruins because of the huge presumptuous crowds of rebellious and confused, political and religious militants and terrorists.
They have been panicked into fighting while wallowing in their depressed slime-pit of wasteful desolation associated with She’owl, the people of these nations who are transformed while massing under a religious and political leader. They will be like the horrible and destructive, desolating uproar of the chaos of the floodwaters and surging sea.
Forcefully, and in great numbers, seeking fame and fortune, wickedly and intensely intertwined, and thought to be extraordinarily powerful and fortunate, with grating passion, capitulating to the will of another, they will continually strive to destroy, moving rapidly while creating an uproar, wanting to ruin everything they touch, and devastating themselves in the process.
They will leave lifelessness in their wake as they rush along, such that it is prudent to watch them very 438closely and intensely for a duration of time. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:12)
The people of these nations who are massing under a religious and political leader, these population groups which gather together similar to widespread and innumerable, horribly destructive floodwaters will be devastating and desolating. They will capitulate to the will of another as they continually strive to lay waste, moving rapidly while creating an uproar as they rush along.
But then He will rebuke them, issuing a warning against them while criticizing their corruption in an insulting manner, angrily censuring them.
And so, they will be swiftly driven away, denied and deprived of what they sought. Then they shall disappear, going away into a distant place of alienation.
They will be chased and driven away, even harassed before they vanish, just as the chaff of the grain that is discarded and blown away on the hills before the approaching presence of the Spirit. They will be like a rolling ball of idolatrous dung, a tumbleweed in a whirlwind, before the approaching presence of the storm, thereby fulfilling and completing that which has been promised in the end. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:13)
Approaching the timing of the noxious religious disorder and mixing together of the Arab Awakening and Sunset, of the rising up of the Arabians, this dark time of foreigners, a long night of religious upheaval when many intermingle and make a pledge to join in and participate in something extremely toxic and deadly, then behold, look now and see them right here: terror!
There will be enormously dreadful and fear-inducing terrorism, the shock and awe of calamitous 439destruction perpetrated on civilians by armed militants, and sudden and startling destruction by jihadists who have long enjoyed and take great pleasure in perpetrating heinous acts that result in the cessation of life in the name of Allah, seeking to oppress through domination, and by mixing together and commingling to confuse and confound.
In the time before the dawn, this large migration of asses, and their religiously inspired sacrifice whose implications elicit an appropriate response, they are no more, they are gone and negated, because they will fail as they will cease to exist.
This is the fate of those deceived by seductive words, the consequence of their choices. It is what happens as a result of misleading and persuasive propaganda that promotes wrongdoing. It is the ruinous reward for those seeking territory based upon lies, the devastating share of what is apportioned to those who have been seduced by sexually suggestive speech, errant opinions, and illegitimate praise.
It is the fate of marauders who plunder and pillage Us, of the militants trying to ransack and rob Us by force, and the payback of those who seek to conquer Us, carrying off the spoils of war because they despise Us.
It is what will befall those who use force and engage in battle to prey upon Us, seizing what belongs to Us militarily, who show contempt for Us and disrespect Us.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:14)
Do you feel as I do, such that we have been given a copy of today and tomorrow’s newspapers? And since this 2,700-year-old prophecy is playing out before our eyes, how is it that so many continue to stumble in the darkness 440hastening their own destruction in light of this stunning revelation?
