Contemptible
Religious and Political Power…
It is time to turn over the stone below which the “la’om – antiquated people of the nations who are congregating under a unifying religious and political leader” to see what lingers beneath its etymology. La’om only appears a score of times in the entirety of the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr. The first three are especially revealing.
We find them in the 25th chapter of Bare’syth / Genesis, where the story reveals that ‘Abraham had taken another wife, Keturah, who gave the father of the Covenant six additional sons. Tellingly, none of them inherited anything because Yitschaq remained his sole heir as Yahowah had intended.
When ‘Abraham died, the twelve descendants (read: the opposite of Yisra’el) of Yshma’‘el | Ishmael, who is affirmed as the son of Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, are subsequently delineated. After this brief interruption, the story of man continues with the account of the family line of ‘Abraham’s son, Yitschaq, and his marriage to Rebekah at forty years of age.
“Yitschaq | Laughter and Child’s Play made a request (‘athar – spoke of the abundance) to Yahowah on behalf of his wife because she was infertile.
Yahowah responded to the request (‘athar – speaking voluminously about abundance) on his behalf and Ribqah | Rebekah, his wife, conceived. (Bare’syth / Genesis 25:21)
442But then the children within her struggled together in an oppressive way (ratsas – were troublesome, splitting apart, and harassing one another, trying to crush each other).
And she asked, ‘If this is so, what is the reason why this is happening to me? So, she went to seek (darash – search after, look to, and account for) Yahowah.” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 25:22)
‘Athar means “to make a request.” It does not mean “to pray.” Moreover, Yitschaq’s supplication was answered, not because he asked, but because Yahowah desired the same result. He not only foresaw how Ya’aqob would become Yisra’el, but He also wanted to share something profound about human and Divine preferences.
“And Yahowah () said (‘amar – expressed in words (qal imperfect – actually and literally with ongoing implications)) concerning her, ‘Two estranged political and religious entities (gowym – nations and groups of people alienated from Yisra’el with entirely different cultural, religious, and political associations, also physical bodies subject to death) are in your womb (beten), and two transformational population groups who will gather as part of distinct political and religious entities (la’om – people of different nations who will congregate together under their own unique leaders and who are archaic and thus changed by an antiquated philosophy) from within your viscera (min me’eh ‘atah – out of your internal organs and body, your anguish and mental suffering, your anxiety and apprehension) who will disperse and be separate (parad – who will be divided and separated, becoming completely different and distinct, they will consort with another, and they will act harshly and cause isolation, spreading out and severing the relationship, becoming like mules, the cross-breed between a male ass and female horse).
443And one distinct group of people, differentiated and changed by their choice of political and religious leadership (la’om min la’om – one transformational population will be separate from the other national or religious entity, each with distinct leaders, unifying qualities, and adherence to antiquated systems) shall be stronger, more militaristic, and more acclaimed, albeit more obstinate and self-willed (‘amets – will achieve a higher status through force and conquest while being especially stubborn, incapable of changing beliefs).
Moreover, the many (rab – the more numerous and greater) shall work for and serve (‘abad – shall labor on behalf of) the lowly and little (tsayr – the younger, smaller, and insignificant who diminishes).’” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 25:23)
This prophetic statement does not read as Christian Bible translations suggest, with the older son being ruled over by the younger. Christian theologians have misrepresented the Hebrew text largely because of Paul’s pro-government argument in his letter penned on behalf of the Romans, and because they see their church as the second-born, subjugating Jews, the firstborn of the Covenant, and thereby inheriting the promises made to Yisra’el.
This is a comparison between Ya’aqob | Jacob and ‘Esa’ow | Esau, between Yisra’el and the Roman and Islamic world. Ya’aqob was focused on being right, and was thus innocent before Yahowah, because he prioritized family, staying at home, and camping out with God. Esau preferred weapons and killing, and he was always on the move because he roamed the world as a hunter.
But why, we may ask, would Ya’aqob’s descendants, who became Yisra’el, also be equated with both gowym and la’om, when these things seem to represent the opposite of the intent Yahowah had for Ya’aqob’s 444children? I suspect the answer lies in the realization that for all but about 70 years during Dowd’s reign and 7 years during Hezekiah’s Towrah awakening, among the 4,000-year history of Yisra’el from ‘Abraham to the present day, the Chosen People have chosen to be religious and political and thus transformed from their original intent.
They are led by the likes of Akiba, not Moseh or Dowd. Further, the ongoing battles between Rome and Islam against Yisra’el would punctuate human history in a way never seen before. Their turbulent history showcases the difference between God’s way and man’s way. These approaches to life are “parad – wholly separate and diverse, distinct and different, somewhat like horses and asses.”
If I am right, and if ‘Esa’ow | Esau is prophetic of Imperial Rome and the Roman Catholic Church, and secondarily of Islam, then it is true, “rab – the more numerous and greater,” the “‘amets – more militaristic and acclaimed,” have indeed “‘abad – served and labored on behalf of” “tsayr – the Lowly and Little.” As we know Sha’uwl demonstrated his respect for Rome when he selected the Latin name, Paulos, meaning “lowly and little.”
Based upon what the words actually reveal, and if I may be so bold, la’om was introduced here in the Towrah to help us understand the conflict we are witnessing in Yasha’yah. It speaks of two, different nations, two political and religious entities (la’om) whose opposition to one another (ratsas) would change the world (la’om).
Both would remain antiquated, dispersed and separated, stubborn in their differences (parad). The stronger its Legions, the more acclaimed with its empire and religion, the one which achieved the higher status through force and conquest and remained unable to change beliefs (‘amets) was Imperial Rome and the Roman 445Catholic Church which grew out of the perverse empire and shares its name. This far more numerous (rab) entity would come to work for and serve (‘abad) “the Lowly and Little (tsayr),” which is, as we know, the meaning of the Latin name the author of Romans and father of Christianity chose for himself.
Without Paul, without the damage he inflicted upon the Messiah’s purpose and the Towrah’s message, without his relentless attacks on Yahuwdym, without negating the Beryth, Miqra’ey, Shabat, Zarowa’, and Yahowah’s shem, there would be no Islam. Without Sha’uwl, the Quran wouldn’t have fooled a fool. Paul’s abhorrent behavior, egotistic manner, irrational propositions, convoluted citations, and propensity to claim the authorization of the God he was constantly contradicting, made Muhammad, who was arguably worse, appear almost sane by comparison. And without Paul’s false Messiah, there would have been no reason for Rabbi Akiba to compete by promoting another.
In other words, had Paul not so tremendously tarnished what was expected of those who spoke for God, Muhammad would have appeared way too moronic and immoral to have been His Messenger. After all, prior to Paul, prophets were expected to demonstrate their calling by accurately conveying everything God had previously said while proving Divine inspiration by proclaiming verifiable prophecies. The fact that Muhammad could not do either was mitigated by the fact Paul couldn’t either. It is something they share in common with every Roman Catholic Pope, frauds who also claim to speak for God.
“And the first (ri’shown – the head, chief, foremost, and beginning) came out (yatsa’ – went forth, spread out, and extended himself) ruddy and bloody red (‘admowny), his entire nature (kol huw’ – he was completely and totally) similar to (ka – who could be compared to) a hairy (se’ar – hairiness, the bristling, dreaded, fearful and 446horrible, stormy and tempestuous (the basis of the Latin, and thus Roman, Caesar)) glorified robe of magnificent splendor (‘adereth – mantle or cloak of hair which is considered grand and glorious; from ‘adyr – the famous and glorified kings, nobles, and chieftains who lord over great and majestic nations or institutions comprised of the sea (Gentiles), akin to ‘adash – to tread upon and trample down (the legacy of Imperial Rome, the Roman Catholic Church, was foretold to tread upon and trample down the entire world)).
So, they called (wa qara’ – then they summoned and proclaimed, read and recited) his name (shem huw’ – his proper designation), ‘Esa’ow | the One who Acts this Way and who Engages in Such Things (‘Esa’ow – Esau, likely derived from ‘asah – that which one affects, attends to, celebrates, institutes, produces, and accomplishes based upon what they act upon and engage in). (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 25:25)
After (‘achar – later, and relative to another position) this then (ken – thusly and thereafter, therefore), his brother (‘ah huw’) came forth (yatsa’ – came out and ultimately departed).
And his hand (wa yad huw’) was grasped firmly upon (‘achaz ba – had taken hold of and was fastened to, having seized) ‘Esa’ow’s | Esau’s heel (‘aqab – back of his foot).
And so (wa) his name (shem huw’) was called (qara’) Ya’aqob | Hand and Heel (Ya’aqob – Jacob, a compound of yad – hand and ‘aqab – heel; meaning where one stands and walks based upon what one reaches for and does with one’s hands and feet)). (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 25:26)
When the boys grew great (gadal), ‘Esa’ow | the One who Acts this Way and who Engages in Such Things became (hayah) an individual (‘ysh) who knew 447(yada’ – who became known as and was acquainted with, experienced) hunting, the act of pursuing, capturing, and killing (‘tayd – hunting as a game, often through snares and trapping), an individual (‘ysh) spreading out within the open and broad way (sadeh – open environs).
And (wa) Ya’aqob | Hand and Heel, was a correct and innocent (tam – a blameless and perfect, demonstrating integrity, ethical and focused on being right) individual (‘ysh) establishing a dwelling place (yasab – settling, inhabiting, living, and staying, camping) in tents (‘ohel – homes for families, household habitations, protective enclosures (symbolic of Sukah – Camping Out with God)).” (Bare’syth / In the Beginning / Genesis 25:27)
Not only was Imperial Rome the bloodiest (‘admowny) Beast, red (‘admowny) in “tooth and claw,” all (kol) of the foremost leaders (ri’shown) of the nation most at war with Yisra’el were Caesars (se’ar), naming themselves after Julius – the Hairy (caesar in Latin). They were “se’ar – horrible and tempestuous, fearsome and dreaded, bristling and formidable.”
From the human perspective of la’om / nations, they were “‘adereth – cloaked in glory and magnificent,” such that we are predisposed to juxtapose “splendor” and Rome. Moreover, this ‘adereth was composed of the sea and thus comprised of Gentiles. And its legacy, that of the final and fifth Beast, the Roman Catholic Church, was foretold to “‘adash – tread upon and trample down” the whole world.
If that were not enough to associate Esau with Rome, consider why the man Yahowah grew to hate (Malaky / Malachi 1:3) wasn’t named using a contraction of ‘admowny or se’ar, as was the case with Ya’aqob being derived from a mix of yad and ‘aqab, but was instead depicted as someone who was “‘asah – engaged in such things.”
448Further affirming this appraisal, in this pronouncement Esau was being identified with Nimrod, the first child of Babel | Babylon – the Beast which evolved into Rome and Roman Catholicism. “‘Esa’ow – the One who Acts this Way and who Engages in Such Things” pursued “hunting, capturing, and killing,” and while doing so, he “spread out within the open and broad way.”
No nation has ever been as deadly as Rome, a nation that made pursuing, capturing, and killing men its national pastime. And the Roman religion, the amalgamation of Babel and the Bible, came to epitomize the deadly and popular nature of the broad and open way.
While we may be the first to make any of the connections derived from the words Yahowah selected to present how the differences between Yitschaq’s sons would lead to the opposition that has come to exist between ‘Esa’ow and Ya’aqob, others have come to see Esau as Rome. Jewish historians came to identify Esau and ‘Edom with the Beastly Empire in medieval rabbinic writings, where Esau was used as a pseudonym for the Byzantines. Moreover, Sha’uwl makes a mockery of this Towrah account in the Christian New Testament in Romans 9:10-13, verses which were designed to provide a Godly sanction to Roman authority while inspiring animosity toward Rome’s most debilitated victim: Yisra’el and Yahuwdym – something in full bloom here in Yasha’yah 17.
So, until proven otherwise, we are going to view “‘Esa’ow – the One who Acts this Way and who Engages in Such Things” as a synonym for Imperial Rome and Roman Catholicism – as well as what grew out of and was influenced by both: the European Union, the United States of America, and Pauline Christianity.
There is yet another reference to la’om worthy of our consideration. It appears in Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:58. In 449context, speaking to Yahuwdym in Babylon beginning with Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:51, we read:
“After a great passage of time, we are humiliated and ashamed, despairing for finally having come to realize that we have been wrong (bowsh – at long last we are confounded and confused, now that the appropriate amount of time has passed, we recognize that we are shameful and disgraced, even disappointed and disconcerted), for (ky – because) we have come to hear (shama’ – we have listened to) contemptible defiance, vile insults, and scorn (cherpah – being taunted with shameful slurs, being reproached and dishonored, as if deserving a lowly status).
Being openly and publicly shamed, along with the confusing insults (kalimah – disgraceful and confounding name-calling which are openly exposed and known) have come to clothe our presence just as we have kept vital information from others to establish our authority (kasah paneh ‘atah – have hidden and concealed our true nature based upon how we have adorned ourselves, precluding an informed response by our appearance, along with the presence of our lunar calendar, our affinity for the lesser light moon, our the existence of our thrones and seats of honor, even our royal dignity, authority, and influence), because (ky) foreigners, those deemed illegitimate who are unauthorized (zar – those who are strange and seen as sickening and nauseating, loathsome, foreign, and alien to us, who are hostile to us and adversarial), have arrived (bow’ – have come and pursue us) upon (‘al) the set-apart place of (miqdash – the separated and dedicated location to congregate unto) the home (beyth – house and family, the household) of Yahowah ().” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:51)
While Christians have led the faithful to believe that this predicts an event that has already transpired, specifically the fall of the Babylonian Empire, such is not 450the case. Yahuwdym have not yet come to this conclusion. Therefore, this prophecy is likely addressing the same time, people, and war depicted in Yasha’yah 17, when foreigners will flood into Yisra’el and lay claim to the set-apart place of Yahowah’s home. This realization and subsequent pronouncement late in Yirma’yah depicts what Yahowah has long anticipated and Yahuwdym have long required: the public and private acknowledgment that Yisra’el has been wrong about Yahowah. It is what must come before they accept and embrace Him.
Moreover, Yahowah has yet to hold those whom Babylon inspired accountable. The religious implications of Babel | of Creating Confusion by Combining religious myths still reign unchallenged in a world where lies are accepted, and the truth is considered hateful. But make no mistake, the commingling of religions in the Babel / Bible, the confusion of the Talmud, and the confused nature of the Quran’s propensity to combine religious lore, will be assessed by Yahowah and those who espouse such things will be held accountable.
“‘Therefore (la-ken – as a result and consequence, this is verifiable and reliable), behold (hineh – look up and pay attention), the days are coming (yowmym bow’ – the time will come),’ prophetically declares (na’um – announces in advance of events occurring) Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of , our ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence), ‘when I will account for (wa paqad ‘al – when I will choose to execute judgment and ascribe the appropriate penalty based upon a thorough inspection and an accurate assessment of the actual quantity and assign responsibility for the offensive violation associated with this specific number of (qal perfect consecutive)) her religious images and objects of worship (pasyl hy’ – her representations of her god, including carved and cast holy, sanctified, hallowed, and blessed divine depictions or idols 451fashioned of wood, metal, or stone which elicit devotion such as a cross or crucifix in addition to the ornate religious buildings (churches and temples) which house them).
And (wa) throughout all (ba kol – in every part of) her land (‘erets hy’ – her country, realm, and territory), the defiled and reprehensible (chalal – the profane, immoral, and despicable, the desecrated and dishonored, the appalling and contemptible, who have been pierced through and who are fatally wounded and will soon be dead) shall groan in anguish (‘anaq – shall mourn the loss and lament the pain in a ritualized outward expression of disappointment and grief, sickened by the desperate spiritual nature of their illness which is woeful, wicked, and incurable).’” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:52)
Yahowah is a proponent of clarity and a source of answers. Should anyone have been confused, wondering why an empire that reigned briefly and which has been extinct for 2,500 years would play such a prominent role in the prophecies that play out during the Last Days of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, this is the answer.
Yahowah is going to account for Babel’s “pasyl – religious images and object of worship, the many representations of her gods, all of her hallowed and holy works of art, along with the ornate buildings which put them on display and encouraged devotion.” And when we study the evolution of religion from Babylon, through Persia, Greece, and Rome we find that Christianity is the most rife with those myths. Almost every important aspect of the Christian religion has Babylonian roots: from its Lord being called God to the Son of God, from its Trinity to its dying and resurrected deity, from its Easter and Christmas celebrations to its Sunday worship, from its Madonna and Child to its crosses and steeples.
There is but one appropriate penalty for having spread the plague of death that is religion in general, whether it be 452Christianity or Islam, and that is to hold the perpetrators accountable by inflicting them with something far more sickening than the finality of death – eternal anguish. Religion is a reflection of Satan and shares the Adversary’s ambition.
“‘Though (ky – because and as a result), Babel / Babylon / Creating Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound (Babel – Bible, Babylonia, and the Roman Catholic Church, and by way of influence: Christianity, America, and Europe, to promote and encourage mistaken misconceptions through mixing, muddling, and blending together, and therefore also Islam, and multiculturalism today, geographically: Mesopotamia in today’s Iraq and Iran; from balal – to mix, mingle, confuse, and confound in association with the lord / ba’al and to offer the resulting concoction as if it were nourishing) should lift herself up toward heaven (‘alah ha shamaym – should ascend to the spiritual realm, adorning herself and acquiring conscripts in heaven’s name, should she be lifted up and exalted spiritually like Allah, should she get carried away with herself be ascribed a lofty status, or should she present sacrificial offering to the heavens as an act of worship and obligation (qal imperfect)) and (wa) though (ky – because and as a result of) she should seek to make inaccessible to attack (batsar – she should try to fortify her position to thwart a successful solution, making an attack on her implausible, constantly seeking to buttress and defend herself, even cutting herself off spiritually while keeping her mysteries inaccessible and secret) her source of religious power and political strength in high places (‘oz marowm hy’ – her unwillingness to change her desires and intent regarding the on high, stubbornly and pridefully clinging to her lofty edifice, seeking to prevail through heavenly exaltation), devastating destruction, annihilation and obliteration (shadad – extermination, extinction, and eradication (note: in the feminine, sidah is a concubine in 453a polygamous relationship or as part of a harem)) will come (bow’ – will arrive, pursue, and return) from (min ‘eth – because of, accompanying, and in association with) Me (‘any) against her (la hy’ – approaching her and as a consequence of her),’ prophetically declares (na’um – announces in advance of events occurring) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration).” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:53)
This has not yet occurred. The religions born and bred in Babylon, specifically Christianity and Islam, and the nations inspired by her legacy, particularly the United States and Europe, have not been pursued directly by Yahowah, nor have they been destroyed, annihilated, or obliterated by Him. But all of the false gods, religious texts, holy edifices, pastors and imams, and beguiled believers combined will be no match for the Almighty. And for Yah to return and camp out in Yisra’el with His children, the pestilence which is religion will have to be eradicated. And so it shall be.
The religious institutions which claim to be inspired and authorized by God will be obliterated by God. How is that for irony?
And if you can find a more adroit fit for Babel | Confused by Being with the Lord than that found in the Christian New Testament of the Bible, then you may want to warn the adherents.
It should be noted that just as babel is a compound of ba | with and bel | the Lord, batsar is a compound of “ba – in” and “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 used to kindle a heated reaction and as a knife to cut and kill.” Therefore, this 454“batsar – attempt to become inaccessible” to God, when the Adversary’s institutions “batsar – will be striving to defend themselves spiritually, keeping their intentions secret,” will occur during the Last Days and coincide with the Time of “Ya’aqob’s Tsar – Yisra’el’s Troubles.”
While I suspect that the Babelers will be accusing Yahowah of foul play, this seems to suggest that Yisra’el will finally get the courage to condemn the myths they contributed to inspiring. But either way, Babylon will have fallen…
“The sound (qowl – the voice) of the accusation and outcry (za’aqah – of a loud calling out) from and against (min – because of, from within, and out of) Babel / Babylon / Creating Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound (Babel – Bible and Babylonia, promoting and encouraging mistaken misconceptions through mixing, muddling, and blending together, and therefore Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism), Islam, and multiculturalism, geographically: Mesopotamia, today’s Iraq and Iran; from balal – to mix, mingle, confuse, and confound in association with the lord | ba’al and to offer the resulting concoction as if it were nourishing) and (wa) the crippling destruction and crushing downfall (sheber – the fracturing and breaking apart, along with the ultimately shattering) will be extraordinarily and surprisingly great (gadowl – will be tremendously important and astonishing, exceeding the norm (rendered as a verb because there was no other expression of action within the statement)) because of what has come out of (min – as a result and consequence of) the realm (‘erets – the land, country, and region) of the Kasdy, the Chaldeans, and of their theologians (Kasdy – of the land and people between Euphrates and Tigris Rivers bordering on the Persian Gulf, used interchangeably with Babylon; from kasdym – religious sages, fortune-tellers, 455magicians, dream interpreters, and astrologers).” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:54)
It bears repeating: at long last Babel, the confusing nature of the Christian Bible, the Whore of Babylon, the Roman Catholic Church, and the religions Satan conceived by intermixing truth with lies to confuse and confound such as Christianity and Islam, along with the nations inspired by the legacy of her Kasdy | theologians, religious sages, and astrologers, particularly Western Europe and the United States, have fallen. The influence of the Babylonian religion as it has permeated Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and the politics of her sages, inspiring the likes of Multiculturalism and Political Correctness, even Socialist Secular Humanism, will suffer a catastrophic downfall, experiencing complete destruction and total obliteration at the hands of the Almighty. This includes those who wrote and promote the Babylonian Talmud.
Once again, Yahowah’s prophetic statement also serves to reaffirm that God is addressing a yet future event, and likely the one foretold in Yasha’yah 17 and 18. The voice that has confused the world by intermixing a modicum of truth with a cesspool of lies has yet to be silenced and is currently blaring from every orifice of society. But one day soon, just thirteen years hence, their obnoxious and toxic chorus will be silenced.
“For indeed (ky – this is because), Yahowah () is destroying and obliterating (shadad – is eradicating and annihilating, utterly destroying and causing to be extinct), therefore (‘eth – accordingly), Babel / Babylon / those who Create Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound (Babel – the Bible and the influence of Babylonia, those who promote and encourage mistaken misconceptions through mixing, muddling, and blending together, and therefore Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism), Islam, and multiculturalism; from balal – to mix, mingle, confuse, and confound in 456association with the lord / ba’al and to offer the resulting concoction as if it were nourishing in conjunction with the Lord) and (wa) is wiping out and exterminating (‘abad – is destroying and annihilating, killing so its wasteful and meritless nature no longer exists, is causing to perish, blot out, and then vanish), accordingly (min – from), her extensively loud voice (gadowl qowl hy’ – the magnitude, intensity, extent, and vociferous nature of her auditory message which was given a high status by a consensus of others and thus deemed distinguished and important by men).” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:55)
We have yet another affirmation that it isn’t the ancient kingdom of Babylon that is being destroyed and silenced but instead the voice of babel – confusion. For Yahowah to reestablish ‘Eden during Sukah on our behalf, the message still reverberating from the Babylonian religion must be extinguished.
Especially telling in this regard is that “babel – confusion derived from commingling” is not only the basis of “Bible,” as we have previously and repeatedly affirmed, but it is also a compound of “ba – with” and “Bel – the lord god” in the Babylonian religion. Believing they are worshiping God, religious Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike have been bowing down before Satan. If only they had read and considered Yahowah’s prophecies, especially those written on behalf of Gentiles, such as those found in Yirma’yah, they may have avoided falling prey to the Adversary.
“The gal – surging waves,” the “hamah – loud groaning of the enraged,” the “rabym maym – extensive floodwaters,” and the “sha’own – horribly destructive and deadly, corrupting and confusing, uproarious and presumptuousness of those ensnared by Sha’uwl and headed to She’owl” were all specifically addressed in Yirma’yah 17:13, affirming that this is addressing the same people, place, and time.
457“And (wa) their surging waves (gal hem – their turbulent swells from a stormy sea with strong currents roll in filled with feces, their excrement, dead bodies, and rubble) loudly groaning from being confused and enraged (hamah – confounded and chaotic, uproarious and disturbing, intoxicating and snarling, growling and angry, drunken and infuriated, lamenting and surging, wind-driven and distressing, tumultuous and disorderly, reflecting the religious, political, and social turmoil of the angry (qal perfect consecutive – literally for this moment in time as an expression of their will)), will be similar to (ka – comparable to) a great many, extensive, and numerous (rabym – extremely large quantity and excess of) floodwaters (maym – flood of water) producing (nathan – causing and setting forth, offering, inflicting, and delivering) a horribly destructive and deadly (sha’own – corrupting and confusing, rebellious and brawling, uproarious and chaotic, presumptuous and mocking, political and religious, those who are ensnared by Sha’uwl and trapped in She’owl, depressed and terrorizing, dark and massive) audible message (qowl hem – sound, voice, and voluminous cry).” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:55)
Once again, it is the confusion of Babel and its destructive and deadly nature as its voluminous message has flooded into and confounded the world that Yahowah is silencing. Indeed, Babylon will fall, and its deadly influence will be obliterated very, very soon. Moreover, Yahowah is promising to hold the perpetrators accountable…
“For indeed (ky – for this reason), devastating destruction, annihilation and obliteration (shadad – extermination, extinction, and eradication (note: in the feminine, sidah is a concubine in a polygamous relationship or as part of a harem)) has come (bow’ – has arrived) upon (‘al hy’) Babel / Babylon / those Creating Confusion by Combining and Commingling to 458Confound on behalf of the Lord (Babel – the Bible and the influences of the Babylonian religion, those who promote and encourage mistaken misconceptions through mixing, muddling, and blending together, and therefore Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism), Islam, and multiculturalism; from balal – to mix, mingle, confuse, and confound in association with the lord / ba’al and to offer the resulting concoction as if it were nourishing), and her elitists, her mighty and powerful, her influential religiously and politically, along with her military, her most prominent individuals and civic leaders (wa hy’ gibowr – those with political, religious, economic, and military power, her soldiers, warriors, and privileged in society, those who have come to power as a result of being victorious in an election, her heroes and despots) will be caught, captured, and incarcerated (lakad – will be overpowered, overthrown, seized, and taken into custody, losing their freedom, clinging together and yet unable to move).
Their cruel weapons (qesheth hem – their bows; from qashah – the means to be fierce, severe, harsh, and cruel and qowsh – which lure in, bait, trap, and snare) will be shattered and destroyed (chathath – will be broken and abolished), because (ky – surely and indeed) Yahowah (Yahowah – written as directed by His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) is a God (‘el – Mighty One) of retribution and recompense (gamulah – dealing out what is deserved and treating people in the most appropriate manner). He will absolutely and unequivocally fulfill His promise to hold them accountable as a consequence of and penalty for what they have done (shalem shalem – will honor His obligation to penalize them and mete out a just sentence and requisite punishment (piel infinitive piel imperfect)).” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:56)
459There is something far worse than death, a punishment infinitely more caustic than the sudden and painless annihilation of one’s soul. And that is to be caught, captured, and incarcerated by God. But it is the perfect penalty for those who have overpowered the world and robbed the masses of their freedom. Sadly, man has given God no other option than to hold those who have been so cruelly responsible.
The list of those who will be judged and condemned, and who will suffer eternal paralysis in a never-ending altered state of awareness, is specific and extensive. She’owl will be filled with those who misled and abused the masses. Also telling, the religious, political, and military leaders whom men and women esteem, Yahowah despises.
“‘And I shall see to it that (wa) her commanders, captains, and military officers, her government leaders and religious officials (sar hy’ – her authority figures and rulers, her lords, nobles, and princes), her scholars, theologians, and shrewd men (chakam hy’ – her most clever and learned in religious affairs, those among her with the capacity for discernment and understanding, her sages and prophets), her governors, administrative officials, and those who seek to be esteemed and respected, as well as those who rule by fear (pahah hy’ – her most fearsome and awe-inspiring, those invoking holy fear, along with their deputies), her heads of government and her senior military officers, both civilian and royal rulers (sagan hy’ – her heads of state, presidents and prime ministers, dictators and kings, admirals and generals in addition to those subordinate to them), and (wa) her most powerful and influential, her most valiant soldiers, military heroes, and community leaders (gibowr hy’ – her political, religious, and military leadership), will drink their fill, becoming incapacitated (shakar – will consume a sufficient quantity to become intoxicated and debilitated).
460And so (wa), they will become chronically inactive and debilitated in an altered state of awareness (yashen shehah – they will be comatose, paralyzed, and incapacitated, incapable of taking any action or engaging in any activity in a suspended death) forever (‘olam – eternally and perpetually, forevermore, for time without end).
They will not be revived (lo’ qyts – will not return to normal consciousness),’ prophetically declares (na’um – announces in advance of events occurring) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence), the One in Charge (ha melek – the One who Carefully Considers the Proper Response, the King, Royal Ruler, the Counselor and Advisor), whose personal and proper name is (shem huw’ – whose correct designation, reputation, and renown is) Yahowah ( – a transliteration of YaHoWaH as instructed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) of the vast array of heavenly messengers and spiritual implements (tsaba – of the command-and-control regimen of envoys and large divisions of representatives who serve by rendering assistance).” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:57)
This may be the most direct explanation of what awaits those destined to be incarcerated in She’owl. It sounds horrifying. And it is forever. Moreover, the list of those earning this fate is long and extensive, impressive and prestigious. And if I were to add to the list of Jews destined to She’owl, the thousands of Progressives leading protests in New York this day to forgive HAMAS and blame their victims as part of “IfNotNow” and “Jewish Voice for Peace” are certainly deserving. Being stupid is only a crime when morons give voice to their idiocy, and God’s people are harmed as a result.
461Those who sought to influence and control God’s creation as if their ways were superior to the Creator, those who have claimed to have been authorized to rule by gods of countless names, will learn that the one actual God has but one name, and He is enormously displeased.
The purpose of the Covenant’s lone prerequisite, that we walk away from Babel and our country, from the family of man, and from societal influences, has been reinforced with these words. To be with God, we must not count our lot with men. If we wish to be free, we cannot serve those who control us. If we want to know the truth, we cannot listen to those who oppose it. If we want to live, we cannot cling to those who threaten life. We can believe men or rely on God.
Among the two greatest crimes ever perpetrated on humankind was the removal of Yahowah’s name and His Son’s sacrifice from His Word and then replacing one with this source of Babel, the Lord Bel, and the other with false Messiahs Nothing man has done has been as confusing or confounding. This, more than anything else, has enabled the toxic plague of Babylon to reverberate throughout the ages. It is why the religious, believing that they are worshiping God, are instead bowing down before the Adversary.
We turned to Yirma’yah to learn more about la’om, a word that appears in the next statement. And indeed, we have discovered the connection between la’om and Babel | Babylon. We have even discovered the identity of the religious and/or political leader that the la’om share in common: Bel | the Lord of Confusion.
What I did not expect is that by turning to Yirma’yah we would find the connection between Babel | Babylon and religion that we initially sought to find in Yasha’yah. May this lesson resonate with us such that we search for answers by observing the whole of Yahowah’s Word! God 462communicated through many prophets so that we might make these connections to comprehend.
Speaking of understanding, the wide and spacious way of man leads to death and destruction. It is the way of Babel | Babylon. It is the consequence of “babel – confusing by commingling.” Within a decade, it shall be stripped away and exposed as haughty and improper, disgusting and offensive. And so just as fire is used to separate gold from dross, it shall be used to purge the world of the “la’om – antiquated religious institutions and political entities, the people of the nations who are changed while massing under a unifying religious and/or political leader,” the influence of “Ba-Bel – Being with the Lord” of “Babel – Confusion.”
“Therefore, thus affirms (koh ‘amar – as a result, this is what is said by) Yahowah (Yahowah – written as directed by His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) of the vast array of heavenly messengers and spiritual implements (tsaba – of the command-and-control regimen of envoys and large divisions of representatives who serve by rendering assistance),
‘The wide and spacious (ha rachab – the broad and boundless, proud and exalted, free and open) surroundings serving as a means to join in, fortify, protect, and enclose (chowmah – barriers and walls, means of protection, from an unused root meaning to join in; associated with ham and hamoth – father-in-law and mother-in-law) of Babel / Babylon / those Creating Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound in association with the Lord (Babel – of the Bible and the influence of Babylonia, of those who promote and encourage mistaken misconceptions through mixing, muddling, and blending together, and therefore of Christianity (especially Roman Catholicism), Islam, and multiculturalism; from balal – to mix, mingle, confuse, and confound in association with the lord / ba’al and to offer the resulting concoction as if it were nourishing), shall be 463stripped away and completely exposed (‘arar ‘arar – shall be laid utterly bare and naked, completely uncovered, becoming totally visible, and then demolished).
Then (wa) her haughty and improper (hy’ ha gaboqh – proud and exalted, official and conceited, lofty and arrogant) disgusting public meeting areas, esteemed but horrid residences, vile temples, offensive gateways, and tempestuous marketplaces (sha’ar – doorways and enclosures to terror, stormy floodgates and frightful entrances, dreadful courts and assembly halls, bristling forums and businesses) shall be set ablaze and burned (yatsath – shall be kindled and consumed) with fire (ba ha ‘esh – in the flames).
As a result (wa), the people’s (‘amym – the nation’s and institution’s and their followers’) labor (yaga’ – fatiguing expenditure of considerable energy and wearisome toil for an ill-gotten gain) will be for absolutely nothing, wholly insufficient for having chased worthless fantasies and delusions (ba day ryq – will be in vain, leading to nothing, having no advantage or benefit, be completely without value and be wholly insufficient, and it will be poured out and voided).
Therefore (wa), the archaic people of these nations who are massing under an antiquated and unifying religious and political leader (la’om – the population groups which gather together, these political entities and religious institutions which change people and cause them to congregate together which has now been directly associated with Babel / Babylon) will go into the fire, they will be trifled with and seen as worthless (ba ‘esh – will go into the flames to be consumed) because it is deserved and necessary (day – as it is appropriate and sufficient, revealing who belongs to whom) as they fall and are destroyed (wa ya’ep – as they physically exhaust themselves and their military is beaten down and depleted).’” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:58)
464Nothing matters other than Yahowah’s Towrah and Beryth. Mankind’s labors apart from these are all worthless in the end, especially religious endeavors as they are nothing more than chasing after fantasies and delusions.
With this, we can now appreciate the full implications of la’om, providing yet another affirmation that this denunciation and eradication of Babel is coterminous with the events foretold in Yasha’yah 17:13. The “la’om – people of these nations who are massing under a religious and political leader” will be seen as worthless and be destroyed as a result.
Now if we may, here is a summation of the prophecy from the mouth of Yahowah and hand of Yirma’yah:
“After a great passage of time, we are humiliated and ashamed, despairing for finally having come to realize that we have been wrong, for we have come to hear contemptible defiance, vile insults, and scorn.
Being openly and publicly shamed, along with the confusing ignominy, have come to clothe our presence, just as we have kept vital information from others to establish our authority, because now foreigners, those deemed illegitimate who are unauthorized, have arrived upon the set-apart place of the home of Yahowah. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:51)
‘Therefore, behold, the days are coming,’ prophetically declares Yahowah, ‘when I will account for, when I will choose to execute judgment and ascribe the appropriate penalty based upon a thorough inspection and an accurate assessment of the actual number and significance of the offensive violations associated with her religious images and objects of worship, including her representations of her gods fashioned of wood, metal, or stone which elicit devotion, such as crosses and crucifixes in addition to the ornate religious buildings which house them.
465And throughout her realm, the defiled and reprehensible, the appalling and contemptible, who have been pierced through and fatally wounded, shall groan in anguish, disappointed and grief-stricken by the incurable spiritual nature of their perverse illness. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:52)
Though, Babel | Babylon, those Creating Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound (representing the Roman Catholic Church, Biblical Pauline Christianity, Quranic Islam, and Socialist Secular Humanism with its Multiculturalism and Political Correctness – each designed to promote and encourage mistaken misconceptions through mixing, muddling, and blending Babylonian myths) lift themselves up toward heaven, adorning themselves and acquiring conscripts in heaven’s name while being exalted spiritually, like Allah, even presenting sacrificial offerings as an act of worship.
And though she should seek to make herself inaccessible to attack, fortifying her position to thwart good judgment, making an assault on her source of religious power and political strength seem implausible, while revealing her unwillingness to change her desires and intent regarding the Most High, devastating destruction and obliteration to the point of extinction will occur, and thus complete eradication against her, will come from Me,’ prophetically declares Yahowah. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:53)
The sound of the accusation and outcry from and against Babel / Babylon / Creating Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound and her crippling destruction and crushing downfall will be extraordinarily surprising and astonishing because of what has come out of the realm of the Kasdy, the Chaldeans, and their Theologians, from these religious 466sages, fortune-tellers, magicians, dream interpreters, and astrologers. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:54)
For indeed, Yahowah is destroying and obliterating, utterly eradicating Babel / Babylon / those who Create Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound in conjunction With the Lord (the Roman Catholic Church, Christianity, Islam, and Multiculturalism, and thus Political Correctness).
He is wiping out her extensive and loud voice, the magnitude, intensity, and vociferous nature of her auditory message which was given a high status by a consensus of others and thus deemed distinguished and important by men.
So, their surging waves and turbulent swells from a stormy sea with strong currents filled with excrement and dead bodies, groaning loudly from being confused and intoxicated, infuriated and enraged, reflecting their religious, political, and social turmoil will be similar to a great many floodwaters.
It will produce a horribly destructive and deadly, corrupting and confusing, rebellious and presumptuous, political and religious message. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:55)
And for this reason, devastating destruction, total annihilation, and complete obliteration, extermination and eradication of this enslaving polygamous relationship has come upon Babel / Babylon / and all those who Create Confusion by Combining and Commingling, and her elitists, her powerful, her influential religiously and politically, along with her military, her most prominent individuals and civic leaders, even those privileged in society and those who have come to power as a result of being victorious in an election, will be caught, captured, and incarcerated, 467seized and taken into custody, clinging together and yet unable to move while losing their freedom.
Then their cruel weapons will be shattered and abolished because Yahowah is a God of retribution and recompense, dealing out what is deserved and treating people in the most appropriate manner.
He will absolutely and unequivocally fulfill His promise to hold them accountable as a consequence of and as a penalty for what they have done, punishing them appropriately. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:56)
‘And I shall see to it that her commanders, captains, and military officers, her government leaders and religious officials, her lords, nobles, and princes, her scholars, theologians, and shrewd men, her most clever and learned in religious affairs, her sages and prophets, her governors, administrative officials, and those who expect to be esteemed and respected, as well as those who rule by fear, her heads of government and her senior military officers, both civilian and royal rulers, her presidents and prime ministers, her dictators and kings, her admirals and generals in addition to those subordinate to them, and her most powerful and influential, her soldiers, military heroes, and community leaders, will drink their fill, consuming a sufficient quantity to become inebriated and debilitated.
And so, they will become chronically inactive and incapacitated in an altered state of awareness, comatose and paralyzed, rendered incapable of taking any action or engaging in any activity in a suspended death, forever.
And they will not be revived,’ prophetically declares Yahowah, the One in Charge, the One who Carefully Considers the Proper Response, the King and Royal Ruler, the Counselor and Advisor, whose 468personal and proper name is Yahowah of the vast array of heavenly messengers and spiritual implements. (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:57)
Therefore, thus affirms Yahowah of the vast array of envoys who go forth, ‘The wide and spacious, boundless and proud, free and open, surroundings serving as means to join in, to fortify, and protect Babel / Babylon / those with the Lord who Create Confusion by Combining and Commingling to Confound, shall be stripped away and completely exposed.
Her haughty and improper public meeting areas, her esteemed but horrid residences, her vile temples and tempestuous marketplaces, her openings to terror, her dreadful courts and assembly halls, bristling forums, and businesses shall be set ablaze and burned with fire.
So, then the people’s and the nations’, the institutions’ and their followers’ labor will be for absolute nothing, wholly insufficient for having chased worthless fantasies and delusions.
And so, the archaic people of these nations who are massing under an antiquated and unifying leader, those who have congregated as part of a political or religious entity, who are changed by their association with Babel, will go into the fire to be trifled with and seen as worthless, which is deserved and necessary, even appropriate and sufficient, as they fall and are destroyed.’” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 51:58)
We have certainly found more answers and affirmations than we had sought. This has been one of our most rewarding ventures into collaborative prophecy.
469Recognizing that it has been a while since we focused on the Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17 prophecies and acknowledging that the next chapter is best understood when seen flowing out of this one, I’d like to propose a journey through the compelling predictions of Yasha’yah 17 – this time emphasizing the order of events and the conclusions which can be drawn from its sweeping implications.
While it may be at times redundant, when Yahowah reveals something this dramatic, this far-reaching, this relevant and unexpected, we ought not to let go until we’ve derived all we are capable of learning from His dissertation. If you are similarly intrigued, here again, is Yasha’yah 17:
“This is a prophetic pronouncement regarding Damascus (the weeping sore covered in dung which is prodded into being contemptible and abhorrent).
Behold, Damascus is revolting and corrupt and will be removed from among inhabited cities, it is degenerate and unrestrained and shall be abolished by terrorists. And she shall totally and actually become a twisted and tangled heap of fallen buildings and rubble.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:1)
It is hard to fathom, but 2,750 years ago, speaking of a land that had been and would be alternately controlled by the Canaanites, Egyptians, Hittites, Yisra’elites, Amalekites, Moabites, Phoenicians, Assyrians, and Babylonians, and would later be conquered by the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, and British, and is now under the control of a vicious dictator with fleeting alliances, Yahowah predicted that Damascus, the capital of Syria, the longest continuously inhabited city in the world, would fall.
He said that the longest-surviving place of human habitation would become a heap of twisted rubble during 470the last days as the catalyst to a far more egregious war. He foretold that the government of Syria would collapse as well. His choice of words reflects today’s reality, namely that the city’s revolting and corrupt inhabitants would be as degenerate and unrestrained as the terrorists assaulting them. He revealed what is now evidenced in the cities surrounding Damascus, that which is visible in the city’s suburbs, and that which is inevitable throughout this terrorist-infested place.
“Rejected and abandoned, deserted and destroyed, even damned, will be the inhabited and terrorized regions and populated cities of ‘Arow’er, the repudiated outcasts and exiles in Jordan and Lebanon.
For there will be roaming animals fighting in militant militias along with their helpers, the Ansar, falling prostrate and failing miserably, ultimately ceasing because there will be no one left to terrorize.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:2)
God predicted that during the prelude to this war, the refugees in Jordan and Lebanon would succumb as collateral damage. Then addressing the outcasts erroneously claiming to be “Palestinians,” the very terrorists tormenting Israel, Yahowah revealed that the refugee camps they would inhabit in these neighboring countries would be abandoned and depopulated. This will occur, God said, at the hands of roaming bands of militant militias. These terrorists will act more like animals than humans. And they will be operating under the name Muhammad coined for them in his Quran: the Ansar / Helpers.
“Therefore, the fortified city and its defensive structures will cease to exist on account of ‘Ephraym (a synonym for Yisra’el apart from Yahuwdah), along with the government out of Damascus, including the remnant of Syria and Assyria (today’s Iran, Iraq, Syria, 471and Lebanon), for being similarly vehement and burdensome, fanatical and onerous, dimwitted and enraged.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:3 in part)
Since Yahowah has foretold the outcome of this prelude to war, and has revealed the extent of the area impacted, we know that the Shias in Iran, while outman by Sunni Muslims four to one and outgun by them tenfold based upon the combined military expenditures on both sides ($165 billion annually for the Sunni nations versus $17 billion for the majority Shia countries) will prevail against Israel. This will occur largely because the United States, by invading Iraq, unwittingly gave it to Iran, which then came to control Syria after the US Awakening Program backfired and conceived ISIS. To combat them and control Syria in addition to Iraq, Iran invested heavily in Hezbollah which, after destroying Lebanon, has since partnered with Hamas and Islamic Jihad. Collectively, they have Israel surrounded and at risk.
The civilian populations will be devastated in the process – causing the mass exodus of Muslims the world has recently witnessed. Islam will be red in tooth and claw, vehement, fanatical, dimwitted, and enraged. This, of course, means that the peace process will fail as will diplomacy. Assad, who is currently winning this war, will lose. The carnage will grow from hundreds of thousands to millions.
“‘The children of Yisra’el, those Individuals who Engage and Endure with God, shall actually continue to exist,’ prophetically declares Yahowah of the vast array of spiritual messengers and envoys.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:3)
The region associated with the Northern Kingdom will be at risk, but as a nation, Israel will survive the Syrian war. So, while Iran may flaunt its newly formed nukes, and start World War III as a parting gift to Sunni mujahideen who 472will challenge them, based upon Yahowah’s witness, there is no possibility that the Iranians will deploy a nuclear bomb in the Promised Land, causing it to become uninhabitable. And since Yahowah calls the Islamic assailants “vehement and burdensome, fanatical and onerous, dimwitted and enraged,” these fundamentalist Islamic jihadists will continue to act like savages.
“And it will actually come to pass in that day that the size of Ya’aqob shall be decreased to the point of no longer being sustainable or viable, and the fattest, best protected, and most important place at the midsection of his body shall be leaned, shrinking in size, sacrificed in a counterproductive and unsustainable manner in the cause of pagan gods and as part of the hidden agenda of diseased dignitaries.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:4)
The prophecy doesn’t explain how the proxy war being fought in Syria leads to the divestiture of Israeli land, but we have a historical analog from which to draw conclusions. A similar war was fought in Afghanistan from 1978 through 1992, when America rented the Taliban and al-Qaeda from the Pakistanis and then armed them. We can also compare the conception and consequence of America’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine as an analog of what is to come. However, the most obvious means to this end will be an accelerated version of October 7th, 2023, with 100 times more jihadists, a thousand times the weaponry, and 50 times the ariel assault via Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and whatever is left of HAMAS.
Since memories fade with time, it may be helpful to remind our readers that in Afghanistan, Islamic jihadists recruited and deployed sympathetic Sunni Muslims from all around the world to join Pakistan’s Taliban to wage a proxy war against the pro-Soviet government using American weapons provided by the Carter Administration. The fighting between the Islamic mujahideen and 473Russians, as well as between rival jihadists, was so savage that over one million Afghani civilians were killed, and another five million were forced to seek asylum in Pakistan and Iran. Their country, which was all but destroyed during the war, was further ravaged by the Taliban who replaced the Mujahideen who had deposed the secular government.
This same scenario has been playing out in Syria, ostensibly because mankind never seems to learn from history. But this time, the population is much greater, the location is more vital, and the weapons are more lethal. And once again, the conflict was initiated by the United States which was intent on overthrowing the Russian-backed government of Assad. This time, however, we should expect that what happened in the aftermath of the Great Jihad in Afghanistan will occur again, but to a greater extent – and with Israel left to pick up the pieces of another failed regime.
In the decade after the Sunni victory in Afghanistan, once the tens of thousands of international terrorists returned home, going back to Africa, Asia, the Americas, Russia, and Europe, they continued to be terrorists. They struck savagely on every continent – carrying out some of the most horrendous terrorist attacks ever witnessed. This leads us right back to Israel because the next wave of Islamic terrorism, consistent with the previous one, will be orchestrated by religious fundamentalists who will cite their Quranic-inspired hatred of Israel to justify their atrocities.
They will ultimately seek to destroy the nation they blame for their poverty. And internationally, the rapid decline in support for Israel will be seen as an invitation to invade, precipitating carnage on an unheralded scale. The flood of Islamic terrorists will be so great worldwide that Israeli land will be sacrificed to appease the most intolerant and indoctrinated, the most destructive and deadly, people on Earth.
474Since past behavior is the most accurate indicator of future behavior, this is the most likely scenario. The devastating conclusion of the proxy war in Syria will lead to a tsunami of terrorism sweeping the globe, and then to Israeli land being sacrificed in a desperate and failed plea for peace. Either that, or the combined assault of jihadists on all fronts sponsored by Iran, now emboldened by their bomb, their missiles, and their drones, will come to burn enough cities and hold enough Jews hostage such that Israel sues for peace.
Another affirmation of this tortured justification for abandoning the Promised Land comes by way of the Iraq Study Group. The solution, reasoned the American politicians and generals, was to force Israel to surrender Gaza, the “West Bank,” and Jerusalem to the Muslims, believing that this would somehow satiate the Islamic bloodlust. The first phase of that plan has already been carried out. Gaza has been sheared off.
With America and Europe supplying all manner of weapons to the Kurds, and through Iraq, Afghanistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey to the remaining Sunni Jihadists fighting in Syria, and the Russians and Chinese abetting the Syrian and Iranian governments, and thus Hezbollah, the resulting Syrian War will be so catastrophic, the United States will seek to broker a lasting peace by tearing Israel into pieces. It is inevitable. It will not only be the greatest blunder in American history, but from God’s perspective, it is unforgivable – something the next chapter will prove.
As we now know, this outcome is already in process. The final divestiture of land is not going to occur on the timeline demanded by the Bush or Obama Administrations. It will happen only after the Syrian War is ostensibly over. This timing is further underscored because elements of this peace treaty appear to be referenced by Gabry’el | God’s Most Competent and Courageous Man to Dany’el / Daniel 475in conjunction with the commencement of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles.
There is another analog for what this prophecy portends which we have mentioned previously: Neville Chamberlain’s forfeiture of the high ground of Czechoslovakia to achieve “peace for our time.” The British politician’s horrific miscalculation quickly engulfed the world in war. The same thing is going to occur in concert with this colossal blunder.
Vulnerable and no longer defensible, Muslims will void the treaty with Israel, just as Muhammad had done in the 7th century to justify his conquest of Mecca – or Petra as the case may be. Fourteen hundred years ago, after promising to be peaceful for a decade in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, in the Ninth Surah of the Quran, Muhammad’s wannabe god revealed that “treaties between Muslims and infidels are not binding on Muslims.”
With his god’s approval, Muhammad set the example (or “sunnah” from which Sunni is derived) that all good Muslims follow today. Therefore, as a lesson to the observant and thoughtful, the following year Islam’s lone prophet reneged on the terms of the agreement he had signed and ordered his fellow mujahideen to seize a now defenseless foe. Better armed and with many more jihadists, the Islamic terrorists forced Arabs into submission, also known as Islam, beheading those who did not surrender. This is precisely what the Almighty is predicting is going to reoccur, but this time in Israel, beginning in late 2026 or 2027.
Yahowah stated that the treaty that emasculates Israel will not only decrease the nation’s size at its midsection but that the result will leave the Jewish state unsustainable. If the Muslims clamoring for this agreement get their way, with the help of Christians and Socialist Secular Humanists the world over, Israel will be less than seven miles wide 476northwest of Jerusalem and east of Tel Aviv where seventy percent of today’s Yisra’elites reside. It is an invitation for invasion.
“Then it shall be like the gathering in and receiving of a harvest at the proper time, a time in the end which must be cut short due to the extent of man’s provocation and anger, reaping the grain from the chaff in season, cutting it away so as to remove it from a vexing time of grief, thereby establishing and validating the standing grain.
Then either His Protective Shepherd, Strong Arm, and Sacrificial Lamb, or the one showing the seeds that have taken root, growing to produce an abundant harvest, will be collecting and harvesting the first fruits.
And it shall be as one would conduct a gleaning, a smaller secondary harvest, of first fruits in the valley of Rapha’ym, in the midst of those destined to die who were too lazy to exert the effort required to prevail.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:5)
Right before the Muslim mujahideen attack, Yahowah will do the Fatherly thing, removing the Covenant’s children from the vexing time of grief that is to come. This will occur on Yowm Taruw’ah, the first day of the seventh month on Yahowah’s calendar.
And since God transitioned from His declaration regarding the impending destruction of Syria to the immediate divestiture of Israeli land using the phrase “in that day,” these events will play out in swift succession – most likely in the same year.
Once the Syrian conflict is over, once Damascus becomes an uninhabited twisted pile of rubble, once the Assad regime falls, once the refugees who are outcasts in Jordan and Lebanon are swallowed up in this deadly affair, once Israel is thinned, becoming unsustainable, be ready 477for the harvest if you are a participant in the Covenant. And if not, you may want to consider its conditions and engage before it is too late.
Yahowah will accomplish this reaping of through His three Zarowa’. Moseh delineated the way home, Dowd enabled it, and Yada shared what they said and did so that Yisra’el would respond. This smaller and secondary harvest will remove the children of the Covenant from the Valley of Death – the killing fields of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles.
At this time, we should expect between two and three thousand naturally born Yisra’elites to be included along with four to five thousand Gowym – those who have been adopted into God’s Family. Either that, or the expectation will be for three thousand Yahuwdym in addition to four thousand Yisra’elites, along with an unspecified number of Gentiles. Either way, this is encouraging because there will be many more Yahuwdym and Yisra’elites in attendance during Yowm Kipurym – three to seven years thereafter.
Throughout His testimony, our Heavenly Father makes this same distinction, addressing both naturally born descendants of ‘Abraham and adopted foreigners with an overwhelming desire to participate in His Covenant.
This day will represent yet another promise Yahowah will honor, this one facilitating the benefits associated with the fifth of seven Miqra’ey – Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with God. On this day, the Father’s troubadours are being called home.
“‘And in him [in Ya’aqob and thus Yisra’el], there will be those souls who will be spared and survive (and the physical bodies of those who will be left behind), gleanings of those purposely left on the vine, as in going around at the right time of year to remove them from a threatening and dangerous situation, encompassing them as a means of harvesting an olive tree.
478There will be two or three ripe olives in the top uppermost branch, four or five on its fruitful and productive branches which are separated and cut away,’ prophetically declares Yahowah, the Almighty God of Yisra’el.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:6)
Those who are called out of the world at this time are described as standing grain and then as ripe olives. The initial metaphor reveals that God’s children are upright when they are established in the relationship. It also affirms that they have answered the invitations to meet with God in the spring, just as barley is beginning to ripen, when Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children (also known as First Fruits) are celebrated. The standing grain is distinguished from the chaff which is tossed aside and blown away.
Olives produced oil that was burned in lanterns to pierce the darkness and illuminate homes. This oil was used to nourish and to heal. The oil’s light enabled parents to read and recite Yah’s Towrah to their children. Further advancing the metaphor, the olive tree was not only firmly rooted in the land, but it is among the world’s longest-living organisms.
On this occasion, the Covenant’s children are being “removed from a vexing time of grief” at what appears to be the last possible moment. Yahowah is allowing His witnesses to remain and share His message with the world right up to the point that prolonging His children’s stay would put His Family in harm’s way. And like a loving Father, He is communicating why those harvested are being called home. They were different – very different…
“In that specific day, this man will actually gaze upon, genuinely regard, and accept, both trusting and properly responding so as to receive an ongoing gift which makes him acceptable to the One who engaged and acted to get this done.
479And his eyes will choose to continuously look, considering, 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 nor gaze upon, neither favorably consider nor trust, the altars and religious sites, these works of his hands, representing what fingers have made.
They will not focus upon, look to, nor consider, and they will not find pleasure in, either that which is associated with the ‘Asherahs / the 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)
Yahowah reminds Yisra’elites left behind that those who have been called Home will find heaven devoid of religion. It is vital that humankind finally comes to understand this life-or-death distinction, which is why it is being reinforced at this juncture. The Earth has become miserable because of religion, and it is the lack of religion that will make Heaven enjoyable.
The contrast will be palpable. Just as the world’s most menacing religion, the faith founded upon deceit, death, and destruction, intensifies its indoctrination of jihadists, inspiring them to believe that killing and pillaging are a service to their god, the Almighty will be removing those who have chosen to trust Him from this religious battlefield.
But let’s not forget about the billions of Christians who will be left behind, wallowing blindly in all manner of Ba’al and Astarte sun-god imagery. The “Rapture” they anticipated occurred, but under a different name and on a different day, all so that those who have disassociated 480themselves from their Church could be part of a Covenant these Christians thought had been replaced.
But alas, since this will be a small, secondary harvest without a single Christian, Muslim, Haredim, or Progressive along for the ride, the faithful might not even notice. And those who question the disappearance of as many as seven thousand souls, those who bring this to the attention of religious and political leaders asking why it occurred, will be misled by those who have crafted corruption into an art form.
Collectively, these realizations underscore a stark truth the religious are unable to process. If God allowed them into Heaven, eternity would be no different than what we are currently enduring. All of the grief, the perversions, the confusion, the conflicts, the pain and suffering religion has brought to Earth would be transferred to Heaven, making eternal life miserable, which is why the religious cannot be allowed in. Yasha’yah’s proclamation is further evidence that religions are not spokes on a wheel that lead to God but instead, through centrifugal force, away from Him.
Those who are gleaned on this day will have the Covenant in common. Each will have walked away from babel, from the commingling of religion, politics, patriotism, and militarism. Each will have chosen to trust and rely exclusively on Yahowah instead of their country. These descendants of ‘Adam will be gathered together and invited Home on this day, Taruw’ah, because they answered Yahowah’s Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with Him on Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and Shabuw’ah – walking to their Heavenly Father along the path He provided. Each will have these things in common because they will be Towrah-observant, closely examining and carefully considering the terms and conditions of the Covenant, embracing all five of them. And every man will be circumcised. There will be no exceptions.
481“In that specific day, it shall come to be that the cities of his defensive fortifications shall be abandoned and deserted consistent with an occult presence among the religious and merchants of death.
And then the uppermost branch of the olives will be completely deserted for a time, released for having accomplished the goal of restoring the relationship that was damaged by 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)
With the restraining influence of Yahowah’s Spirit-filled troubadours now gone, all hell will break out. The defensive fortifications surrounding the cities will be abandoned, which is to say soldiers will be fleeing their posts. Also, since the religious incantations and chemical agents are delineated as “his,” this pronoun is likely referencing Ya’aqob.
Therefore, should this be the case, Israel’s defenses will immediately fail, and many cities, towns, and settlements will be overrun. Much of the Land will be abandoned as it is deforested, which suggests that chemical and biological agents may be wielded by those intoxicated by their satanic religion.
That said, there is also the possibility that “his” could be addressing “ha ‘adam.” If so, it is mankind’s population centers and military prowess that will become desolate and impotent, suggesting that the carnage may be global.
The argument against this more pervasive option, however, is that “ha ‘adam – the man” being described is now in Heaven, having been rescued by the Sacrificial Lamb. Also, what follows speaks of having “forgotten your Savior.” Yahowah introduced Himself to Yisra’elites in 482His Towrah and saved them from slavery in Egypt, the crucible of human religious oppression. Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and Secular Humanists have never known Yahowah and thus could not have forgotten Him. The same is true with Dowd | David who was known mostly to Yisra’el.
God has just said that Ya’aqob will become vulnerable as a result of being thinned, and He is about to describe an Islamic invasion of Israel. As a result, we would be wise to see Israel’s defenses and cities faltering at this juncture.
But that does not mean that these options are exclusive, with one precluding the other. When more than one possibility exists, more times than not, God wants us to consider each of them. In this vein, the specific things excluded from Heaven are more likely germane to Christianity rather than Judaism and thus to the U.S. and E.U. rather than Israel.
From this perspective, the warning directed against America in the opening line of the next chapter could simultaneously reflect parallel and sequential events. After all, the United States has been complicit up to this point, having caused the Syrian War, having armed the Muslim combatants, and having led the parade to thin the Promised Land. This being the case, life will become unbearable for all humankind, and especially for the nation that earns Yahowah’s ire.
This prediction was once again prefaced with “in that specific day,” so this too will happen in quick succession. The adherents of the most overtly occult of popular religions – Muslims – will pour into the Promised Land like a plague. The resulting devastation and desolation will be stupefying, leaving much of Israel deserted and uninhabitable. This, Yahowah reveals, will be endured because most Yisra’elites have forgotten what He has done for them.
483They remain ignorant in part because they favor rabbinic Talmud arguments over Yahowah’s Towrah teaching. And as a result of having rejected the Covenant’s terms, they are estranged and thus unprotected and vulnerable. Having chosen to depend upon their weapons and training rather than their God and Savior, they will experience the mind-altering incantations of evil.
“Indeed, you have ignored and have actually forgotten, becoming ignorant of, ceasing to care about while 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 a residence by pitching a tent for Adonis’ vines and erect the Lord’s dwellings, thereby establishing his residences which represent the unfaithful home of religious misunderstanding, firmly embedding them into society.
And you continually sow it, scattering this seed as an illegitimate, unauthorized, and loathsome means to estrangement via a vine and branch that needs to be pruned, a secondary, wild, and recent shoot that is detestable and requires removal for its role in pagan ritual worship. (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:10)
In that day, the plantings in your garden, all of which are arranged in the order that you established, will grow as you construct a barrier around them, controlling every aspect so as to turn oneself away through comparative resemblances.
And in the early part of the day, when such things are considered, your seed will 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 therefore left vexed and grieving.
484In the daytime, there will be terminal disease and hopeless infirmity, affliction and tribulation, irredeemable wounds and an inheritance of suffering that cannot be resolved, including the influence of incurable and incapacitating, irrecoverable mental anguish.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:11)
There is a myth, one being actively promoted by hundreds of thousands of Ultra-Orthodox Jews today, especially in Israel, that religious Jews are Torah-observant. But according to Yahowah, this is not accurate – nor is it consistent with the evidence. Orthodox Jews have made religion their profession – spending every waking hour obeying the laws rabbis have imposed upon them.
Their scripture is found in the Oral Law, the Talmud and the Mishnah. As minions, they thoughtlessly bob their heads while reciting rabbinical prayers from rote. There is not one among them who knows Yahowah or follows His guidance. Worse, and as a direct result, Jews have planted the seeds that have grown into Christianity, Islam, and Socialist Secular Humanism.
Sadly, this is only the beginning of the bloodbath they will endure as a direct result of their religious rebellion. The birth pangs are over, and this is now the onset of the worst of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. But none of this should be seen as God judging the world. Based upon His own testimony, He is currently celebrating this time with His Family.
God’s focus is elsewhere. Yahowah is not orchestrating this affair or micromanaging these events. He is simply going to allow this to occur. In fact, it is in the remaining Yisra’elites’ interest to have these appalling events progress to the point that they finally realize that they are incapable of stopping the horror they are experiencing and to a great degree have brought upon themselves.
485It is only then that a remnant will come to their senses and acknowledge that neither their nation, their religion, their intellect, their ingenuity, their wealth, nor their military can save them. And that will be the first step in the right direction – the acceptance of the first codicil of the Covenant.
Speaking of Israel’s assailants, very few know, but it is nonetheless true that, if it were not for rabbis, Islam would not exist. According to the Hadith, and confirmed in the Quran, rabbis in Yathrib, today’s Medina, sold Talmud citations to Muhammad which he then incorporated into his Quran.
Without these stories, the resulting book would have been too dark and depraved to fool anyone. And the fact that they charged a man desperate for credibility an exorbitant fee for their citations, and then threatened to expose him as a fraud when he twisted them to serve his interests, is what turned Muhammad against them, making Islam anti-Semitic.
There is also no disputing the fact that a Jew, a failed rabbi no less, Sha’uwl who became Paul, the author of 14 Christian Epistles, the subject of Acts, and the inspiration behind Luke, Mark, and Matthew, is the father of Christianity. But what is often overlooked, the first communists were found on a kibbutz in Yisra’el, and a German Jew, Adam Weishaupt, was the author of Socialist Secular Humanism via his Order of the Enlightened in the 1770s. Including their contribution to Islam, it makes it a clean sweep, with Jews responsible for Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Socialist Secular Humanism.
Also telling, while many hundreds of thousands of Ultra-Orthodox Israelis are opposed to their nation’s military and have fought politically to keep from having to serve in it, others will perceive that the Israel Defense Forces and Israeli economic ingenuity are prevailing. 486Initially, we have witnessed the desert bloom, and the enemy has been kept at bay. But those blossoms of hope will wither and fade away.
Yahowah has affirmed that Yisra’elites have been doing the work of the Lord, serving Satan. They will be pruned. These discarded and short-lived twigs will be tossed aside because the disease infecting them is deemed infectious and incurable. And having tried to reason with Orthodox Jews, having tried to point out the irreconcilable conflicts between the Towrah and Talmud, only to see them bristle and recoil in anger, I appreciate Yah’s perspective. Besides, there will be no religious dress-up in Heaven, something these folks couldn’t imagine foregoing.
During what is almost assuredly the onslaught of the first phase of an Islamic assault, mujahideen will flood into the land from all directions. But this time the Israeli defenses will be unable to stop them. Agitated and anguished screams will lead to societal chaos, as the Promised Land is inundated with those who seek to destroy it on behalf of their demonic deity.
“Woe, be wary of the preponderance of the people of many nations, of those related by race, religion, and culture with followers who will roar in hordes of agitated and confused terrorists, in vast multitudes of bewildered and loudmouthed militants flaunting their abundant wealth while clamoring emotionally with their worldly possessions in disorderly riots, agitated and enraged, with the masses congregating along with their troops for military purposes in a disturbing manner similar to the loud groaning of stormy, confused, chaotic, and surging seas of Gentiles, who will choose to be driven by the winds of religious, political, and social desire.
And then there will be the corrupting roar of the destructive societal chaos, the loud mocking cry as 487things crash down in ruins around the huge presumptuous crowds of rebellious and confused militant terrorists who are panicked into fighting while wallowing in their depressed slime-pit amidst the wasteful desolation associated with She’owl.
The antiquated people of these nations who congregate under the inspiration of a religious and political leader, will be like the destructive and desolating uproar of a corrupting flood of those destined to the pit of She’owl, the dark and massive black hole that traps all entering it.
Forcefully, and in great numbers, seeking fame and fortune, wickedly intertwined, and thought to be extraordinarily powerful with grating passion, capitulating to the will of another, they will continually strive to destroy, moving rapidly while ruining everything they touch, devastating themselves in the process, leaving lifelessness in their wake, such that it is prudent to watch them very closely for a duration of time.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:12)
At this point, we are confronted with the first of the two “howy – woe” warnings that Yahowah has integrated into this dire prophecy. A great many nations will dispatch a veritable sea of Islamic jihadists. I suspect that over one hundred million mujahideen will emerge from the fifty fiefdoms with a Muslim majority.
These horrible places serving as breeding grounds for death and destruction include: Afghanistan (which is 99.8% Muslim / with a 29.0 million Islamic population), Albania (82% / 2.6M), Algeria (98% / 34.8M), Azerbaijan (98% / 8.8M), Bahrain (81% / 0.66M), Bangladesh (90% / 148.6M), Brunei (52% / 0.21M), Burkina Faso (59% / 9.6M), Chad (56% / 6.4M), Comoros (98% / 0.68M), Djibouti (97% / 0.85M), Egypt (95% / 80.0M), Gambia (95% / 1.7M), Guinea (84% / 8.7M), Indonesia (88% / 488204.8M), Iran (99.7% / 74.8M), Iraq (98.9% / 31.1M), Jordan (98.8% / 6.4M), Kazakhstan (56% / 8.9M), Kosovo (92% / 2.1M), Kuwait (86% / 2.6M), Kyrgyzstan 89% / 4.9M), Lebanon (60% / 2.5M), Libya (97% / 6.3M), Malaysia (61% / 17.1M), Maldives (98% / 0.31M), Mali (92% / 12.3M), Mauritania (99.2% / 3.3M), Mayotte (98.8% / 0.20M), Morocco (99.9% / 32.4M), Niger (98% / 15.6M), Nigeria (50% / 75.7M), Oman (88% / 2.5M), Pakistan (96% / 178.0M), Palestinian Authority (98% / 4.3M), Qatar (78% / 1.2M), Saudi Arabia (97% / 25.5M), Senegal (96% / 12.3M), Sierra Leone (72% / 4.2M), Somalia (98.6% / 9.2M), Sudan (71% / 30.9M), Syria (93% / 20.9M), Tajikistan (99% / 7.0M), Tunisia (99.8% / 10.3M), Turkey (98.6% / 74.7M), Turkmenistan (93% / 4.8M), United Arabs Emirates (76% / 3.6M), Uzbekistan (97% / 26.8M), Western Sahara (99.6% / 0.53M), and Yemen (99% / 24.0M).
The average age of the rapidly rising Islamic population of 1,300,000,000 in these fifty countries is twenty-two, with more than two-thirds of fighting age, which would be between fifteen and forty. Since ninety percent of jihadists are male and since seventy to eighty percent of Muslims are fundamentalists in places like this and thus predisposed religiously to be mujahideen, if only one in three of those who are eligible to fight are motivated by their clerics, political potentates, media, and peers to do so, these nations alone will dispatch an estimated 130 million fighters in Allah’s Cause.
And since those who might otherwise defer would be defined as hypocrites by the Quran’s 9th surah and would likely be killed by fellow Muslims as apostates, as many as half of the fundamentalist Muslim men of appropriate age may seek to earn paradise points with their god.
Moreover, life isn’t worth living in most of these places. There is little or no hope for a better tomorrow. Lies prevail and truth is a casualty. As a result, the number of 489enraged religious fanatics could reach 200 million individuals. There simply wouldn’t be enough bullets or bombs to stop them – not even if there were only a million of them. Look what happened on October 7th, 2023 with 1,500 religiously enraged boys.
But that would not be the end of the militants. The thirty nations where collectively another 285 million Muslims reside, which boast a significant percentage of Allah devotees, will also send millions of mujahideen. These include: Benin (25% / 2.3M), Bosnia-Herzegovina (42% / 1.6M), Bulgaria (13% / 1.0M), Cameroon (18% / 3.6M), Central African Republic (9% / 0.40M), Cyprus (23% / 0.20M), Eritrea (37% / 1.9M), Ethiopia (34% / 28.7M), France (9% / 5.3M), Georgia (11% / 0.44M), Ghana (16% / 3.9M), Guinea Bissau (43% / 0.71M), India (15% / 177.3M), Israel (18% / 1.3M), Ivory Coast (37% / 8.0M), Kenya (8% / 3.0M), Liberia (13% / 0.52M), Macedonia (35% / 0.71M), Malawi (13% / 2.0M), Mozambique (23% / 5.3M), Russia (12% / 16.4M), Singapore (15% / 0.72M), Sri Lanka (9% / 1.7M), Tanzania (30% / 13.5M), Togo (12% / 0.83M), and Uganda (12% / 4.1M).
The percentage of Muslims in these places who are religious fundamentalists and who choose to fight will be considerably less because, as a minority population, Islam cannot be imposed. Accurate information is available, thinking is somewhat encouraged, and life is worth living. Therefore, as few as ten percent of the eligible jihadists may elect to bludgeon Jews. But this would still yield another ten million mujahideen – more enraged fighters than there are Yisra’elites in the Promised Land.
Also, based on the description Yahowah has provided, additional jihadists will flow out of nations with a relatively small percentage of Muslims. The thirty-three un-Islamic countries from which mujahideen will emerge include: Argentina (3% / 1.0M), Australia (2% / 0.70M), 490Austria (6% / 0.70M), Belgium (6% / 0.90M), Burma (4% / 1.9M), Burundi (2% / 0.18M), Canada (3% / 1.2M), China (2% / 23.3M), Congo (2% / 1.0M), Denmark (4% / 0.50M), Equatorial Guinea (4% / 0.03M), Fiji (6% / 0.05M), Germany (5% / 6.0M), Greece (5% / 0.90M), Guyana (7% / 0.6M), Italy (3% / 1.9M), Mongolia (5% / 0.12M), Nepal (4% / 1.3M), Netherlands (6% / 1.3M), Norway (3% / 0.45M), Philippines (5% / 4.9M), Rwanda (2% / 0.20), Serbia (4% / 0.30M), Slovenia (3% / 0.50M), South Africa (2% / 1.0M), Spain (2% / 1.3M), Sweden (5% / 0.70M), Switzerland (6% / 0.50M), Thailand (6% / 4.0M), Trinidad (6% / 0.80M), Ukraine (1% / 0.50M), United Kingdom (5% / 3.2M), and finally the United States (1% / 2.9M).
There are fifty-five million Muslims living in these overwhelmingly un-Islamic nations. And since the voice of their clerics is substantially muted in these places, and since Muslims have little influence in the government, military, and media, we should expect as few as one in twenty fundamentalist Muslim men between fifteen and fifty to join the Great Jihad from these places. And while that is only three-quarters of a million mujahideen, it’s what happens in the aftermath of their devastating loss that should be alarming. The Muslims they leave behind will likely seek revenge and become terrorists.
Based upon this analysis, we should expect that the vast preponderance of jihadists, somewhere between 100 and 150 million mujahideen, could come from the fifty nations with an Islamic majority. The sixty-three countries with a smaller percentage of Muslims may send ten million more jihadists. This veritable sea of religious rage will flood into Israel from all directions. Multitudes will approach via the Caspian, Black, and Marmara Seas. Others shall sail across the Mediterranean.
Many will traverse the Aegean. Armed hordes will roar across the Nile Delta and Suez Canal. Some will circumnavigate the Arabian Peninsula via the Red Sea. 491Many more will flood into eastern Israel across the Jordan, the Dead Sea, and even crossing the Sea of Galilee. Like a swarm of locusts devouring everything in their path, screaming “Allahu Akbar!” in the Land of Yahowah, the death brigade will appear unstoppable. To be a Jew in Israel at this moment would be terrifying – at least apart from Yahowah.
The prophet deployed hamown in this context to convey that these “hordes of agitated terrorists who are confused and loudmouthed will roar” into Yisra’el “flaunting the weapons they possess.” It is an appropriate depiction of today’s Islamic jihadists.
With “anguished screams, snarling and growling,” they will bring their unique “hamah – societal chaos” to the one part of the Middle East they have thus far been prevented from corrupting. Militants will flood into Yisra’el, eroding the Promised Land with each successive and relentless wave. In “kabyr – great numbers and with grating passion,” they “sha’ah – will lay waste.” It will be the greatest tsunami of terror the world has ever witnessed.
“The people of these antiquated nations who are congregating under the inspiration of a religious and political leader representing Babel, whose outdated faith has nonetheless transformed the masses, making them similar to widespread and horribly destructive floodwaters which are devastating and desolating, who capitulating to the will of another, will continually strive to lay waste.
They will move rapidly while creating an uproar, ruining everything they touch, destroying themselves in the process, leaving lifelessness in their wake, such that it is prudent to watch them very closely for a duration of time.
492But then He will rebuke them, issuing a warning against them while criticizing their corruption in an insulting manner while angrily censuring them.
And so, they will be swiftly driven away, denied what they sought, and they shall disappear, going away into a distant place of alienation.
And they will be chased and driven away, hunted down and hounded, 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, and like a rolling ball of dung.
They will be akin to 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)
This assault will be comprised of a “la’om – a multitude of antiquated people who have been changed by a compelling religious and political leader, who as a result will congregate in a covenant with Babel, and whose faith is archaic and outdated,” will come from “rabym ‘amym – a great many nations.” I suspect it will be the most massive and misguided force ever assembled by man.
Muslims, moronically believing that Allah is god, and that he wants them to kill Jews for him, will be confronted by Yahowah, who actually is God. After rebuking these Muslims, thereby affirming that they are ignorant, irrational, and immoral, He will deploy His Spirit to blow them away in a fatal blow to Islamic aspirations. On the positive side, the most deadly, destructive, and demonic plague the world has ever known will be eradicated.
By saying that He is going to “ga’ar – rebuke them, criticizing their corruption,” God is shattering a common religious misconception. Muslims bristle and often strike when their religion is criticized. They, like most Christians, 493falsely believe that religion is Godly, divinely inspired, and beyond reproach.
Even if the evidence wielded against their belief system is indisputable, even if the citations brought to bear against their faith are derived exclusively from their most trusted scriptural sources, even if the rationale is irrefutable, the faithful universally slander the messenger as being disrespectful, hateful, and demonic – in this case “Islamophobic.” And yet, since God is doing the very thing the religious universally despise, this is further proof that religious gods are the antithesis of the real One.
While it will be too late for these wannabe killers, Yahowah’s rebuke will benefit others. Those with an open mind, those who remain receptive to listening to what God has to say to these religious assailants, may turn to Yahowah and His Towrah for answers. His Covenant may suddenly seem appealing – the most reasonable and beneficial option.
The scene is vividly described by Yahowah. The Muslims who have sought to kill His children, and confiscate His land, “nuws – will retreat, taking flight as they are forced to flee” for having “min merchaq – been in opposition” to Him. The jihadists “radaph – will be pursued and driven away” like “mowts – dead and discarded chaff.”
While Yahowah will not be visible at this time, the approach of His “ruwach – Spirit” will be sufficient to cause tanks and troop transports to appear as tumbleweeds. And while that is bad news for Islam, for the rest of the world, there is an approaching storm – a war more deadly and universal than the one Yahowah just ended. But more on this in a moment.
“You are approaching the timing of the noxious religious disorder and mixing together of the Arab Awakening and Sunset, of the rising up of the Arabians, 494the 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.
Then behold, look now and see right here: terror! There will be enormously dreadful and fear-inducing terrorism, the shock and awe of calamitous destruction perpetrated on civilians by armed militants, and sudden and startling destruction by terrorists who have long enjoyed perpetrating heinous acts that result in the cessation of life in the name of Allah.
In the time before the dawn, this large migration of asses who are religiously inspired to sacrifice their lives and those of others, will be no more, they will be gone and negated. They will be for naught because they will fail, ceasing 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, the ruinous reward of 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 and of the militants trying to ransack and rob us by force. It is the allotment and retribution, the payback, of those who seek to conquer us, carrying off the spoils of war because they despise us and disrespect us.” (Yasha’yah / Isaiah 17:14)
Islam has been so deceitful and destructive, so deadly and debilitating, indeed, so overtly satanic, Yahowah devotes the closing paragraph to denouncing the religion. During a period when ill-informed journalists are referring to the holocaust of violence exploding around the Muslim 495world as the “Arab Spring,” Yahowah correctly identifies this time as the “darkness of the Arab sunset.”
God even acknowledges the religion’s signature act: “balahah – terrorism in Allah’s name, the deliberate and dreadful mauling and murder of civilians to promote a political and religious objective.” Islam and terrorism are indistinguishable, with fundamentalist Muslims committing over 99% of all terrorist acts worldwide. It is a simple correlation: Islam = Islamic Terrorism.
Just as has been the entire 1,400-year history of Islam, Muslims will continue to destroy everything they touch, including themselves. Those who have been deceived, devouring the religious propaganda, believing their wannabe prophet and god when they declared in the Eighth Surah of their Quran suitably named, “The Spoils of War,” that “Booty is lawful and good,” will find otherwise. Coveting plunder, they will discover that these things will cost them their souls. The would-be conquerors will be vanquished.
The horrid history of this destructive and deadly religion will come to a fitting conclusion with God annihilating its hosts. The fate of those who have been deceived regarding their merits is to be considered worthless. The destiny of those influenced by self-aggrandizing propaganda is to be silenced.
The fitting recompense for those who have been beguiled into believing that confiscating booty through military conquest is authorized by God, is to be seen as worthless and disinherited. Those who sought paradise and the spoils of war will vanish, their souls either ceasing to exist or forever incarcerated.
This phase of the Islamic assault over, Islam defeated by Yahowah, a collateral storm is now on the horizon. And that should be of grave concern to the nation described in the eighteenth chapter of Yasha’yah – America. The United 496States is depicted in unflattering and irrefutable terms. And while we are not explicitly told why America makes its prophetic début at this point, the transition from this chapter to the next is sufficiently indicting.
In the context of the prophecy and current world history, we know that the United States is the reason Damascus will be destroyed and Syria will fall. The proxy war that has ravaged the region is a direct result of America’s foolish and counterproductive invasion of Iraq, in effect giving Iraq to Iran.
The influence of Iran and Shia Islam has surged, threatening the surrounding Sunni fiefdoms. In response, the Sunnis have taken a step back and have allowed Iran to recruit, train, and arm an unprecedented number of Islamic jihadists, ultimately igniting a catastrophic war in Israel.
The victorious jihadists will return to the nations from which they have come, and a reign of terror will commence around the world. The mujahideen who remain in Syria will be unrestrained, turning their religious rage against Israel.
Not only has the United States sold well over one hundred billion dollars of deadly weaponry to the Islamic countries that have supported the rebels, supplying twenty-five times more military hardware to Israel’s foes than the Israelis themselves, but the U.S. has built entire armies for the Iraqis and Afghanis, the Egyptians and Pakistanis. The flame of war has been kindled and the United States has been caught supplying the fuel and holding the torch.
If that were not enough to earn Yahowah’s wrath at this critical juncture in history, America has taken the lead in brokering an irrational peace treaty that will cost Israel dearly, forcing the nation to surrender land to the Muslims who continue to seek the obliteration of the Promised Land.
497Seizing upon this ill-conceived opportunity while wielding weapons supplied by the Americans, Islamic militants by the tens of millions will seek to plunder Israel. And while they will fail, with Yahowah’s Spirit blowing them away, that is just the calm before the approaching storm – one foretold in the Song of the Sea – a story we’ll consider in chapter 14.
