More Songs to Sing
More than Love, Life…
By examining the Mizmowr / Psalms of Dowd, we have found that the central chord of Yahowah’s testimony sings of a person like none other. Following in Moseh’s footsteps, the Chosen One became Yahowah’s beloved Son, God’s anointed Messiah, the central Branch off of the Tree of Lives. He became Yah’s chosen Shepherd and King. More than any of this, he is the Zarowa’ | Protective Ram and Sacrificial Lamb. It is Dowd’s lyrics which sing their way into Yahowah’s heart and should pierce the hardened souls of his people.
Dowd, more than anyone, revealed the most effective way to observe and live the Towrah | Guidance Moseh inscribed. He, as the Lamb, scribed the lone eyewitness account of his fulfillment of Pesach | Passover, in addition to Matsah | UnYeasted Bread and Bikuwrym | Firstborn Children. And he will be accompanying God upon His return, fighting as he always has for his people on Yowm Kipurym, and then shepherding them into pastures flowing with living waters during Sukah.
In the 6th Mizmowr / Song, we find Dowd longing for this new beginning, for the “shamynyth – eighth octave” – which sings to us about the 8th day of Shelters. He has completed the first phase of the mission Yahowah had envisioned for him, and he was ready to move on. And since we have all felt this way from time to time, it’s reassuring to hear Dowd | David responding similarly. It reminds us not just of his inspiration, but of his humanity.
104In our quest to better understand the lives and lyrics of Yah’s exemplar, we have turned to this Song because the King is acknowledging that he has done all he can do at this time. He is eager to transition into the next phase of his life when the question of religion will be resolved. Serving as Yahowah’s Son and student, Messiah and King, Shepherd and Prophet would have been exhilarating, concentrating more responsibility on one individual than anyone has ever known, and that was just over one of his three lifetimes. Moseh | Moses was 80 when he began working with Yahowah. Dowd | David was 8.
After having lived much of his life in the center of Yah’s will, with Yahowah inspiring his thoughts and words, we find Dowd wanting to move on and fulfill the next chapter of his life. This Song is also one of many examples of Dowd being Dowd, of him exposing and condemning the knuckleheads while celebrating his relationship with Yah. He would write…
“To the enduring Leader (la ha natsach – to approach and on behalf of the everlasting Conductor and majestic Director who endeavors to lead and is preeminent and distinguished forever (natsach is actually a verb and, thus, actionable in the text as modified by the piel participle in the masculine singular, which means: that those who listen to the song inspired by the eternal Conductor will be influenced by these lyrics)) accompanied by stringed instruments (ba nagynah – performed with a harp or lyre) above and beyond (‘al – upon and over) the eighth octave (shamynyth – a scale for eternity, for heaven and beyond; from shamyny and shamaym – eighth, infinite time, and the spiritual realm). A Mizmowr | Song of Dowd | the Beloved (Mizmowr la Dowd).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 6 Dedication)
This is one of only three times that shamynyth | eighth appears in the text – each in reference to the instrumentation for a song. Since it is clearly related to 105shamyny | eight, scholars typically consider shamynyth to be the “eighth octave.” In fact, the English word, octave, is based upon the Latin word for eight, octo. The issue with limiting it to this singular expression is that a harp can only play six and a half octaves, not eight, and its range exceeds other stringed instruments. Further, our most accomplished singers only have a four-octave range, with the eighth octave residing at the upward limit of what most people can hear.
When we consider the scale of eight in harmony with Yahowah’s nomenclature we find several thought-provoking ideas. The eighth day of Sukah is an ode to eternal life with God in Heaven. In this regard, the word for eight, shamyny, is remarkably similar to the Hebrew word for Heaven | shamaym. And third, there are seven notes in an octave: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, audibly affirming Yahowah’s plan, one which reverberates throughout time.
Therefore, Dowd is dedicating this song to Yahowah in recognition of his desire to spend his eternity in his Father’s company in Heaven. He realizes that God is not pleased with the conduct of men on Earth, and that conditions will be far better in the next life.
The sentiment expressed in the opening statement of Dowd’s Song is as central to our understanding as it is universally ignored. The purpose of the Beryth | Covenant and of the Towrah | Guidance is “yakach – persuasively demonstrated and proven” through Dowd. He is the antidote to Rabbinic Judaism and Pauline Christianity. He demonstrates that the Towrah, rather than condemning, perfects the imperfect so that we can become beloved sons and daughters of Yah.
“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – 106restoration), You consistently prove Your case through me with persuasive arguments which vindicate me and acquit through me (‘atah yakach ‘any – You use evidence and reason, engaging in rational dialogue with me, making decisions and resolving disputes through me, demonstrating that You and I are right (hifil imperfect jussive – Yah is continually enabling Dowd to engage in the process of rational discourse within the parameters of freewill)), thereby eliminating everything displeasing and disagreeable (‘al ba ‘aph – devoid of antagonistic implications or frustrations, without resentment or lingering animosity; from ‘anaph – being displeased).
Your instructions enable me to be correct (‘atah yasar ‘any – Your willingness to improve me, to teach, to guide, and train me, even provide discipline for me, make me stronger, strengthening me (piel imperfect jussive – Dowd continually benefits from Yah’s guidance under the auspices of freewill)) and (wa) You are never overly protective or antagonistic (‘al ba chemah ‘atah – You are not displeased nor all emotionally worked up, neither toxic nor venomous, doing so without indignation).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:1)
The realization that Yahowah helps us become right with Him so that He can vindicate us serves as a rebuke of religion. And this affirmation is irrefutably and undeniably established through Dowd’s | David’s life and lyrics. He is the antidote for the false perceptions contained in the Talmud and New Testament. By closely examining and carefully considering the Towrah, and by listening to the revelations Yahowah conveyed to the prophet, Shamuw’el, Dowd came to know and trust Yahowah. A highly imperfect man was completely vindicated, becoming Yahowah’s beloved Son and our Savior.
This is the realization we have been lauding because it is so vital to the elongation and perfection of our lives and 107souls. This is Dowd personalizing what we have read in the 19th Mizmowr. In it, Dowd wrote the following…
“On behalf of the eternal and glorious One, a mizmowr | psalm of Dowd: The heavens quantify the unit of measure, exactly and accurately of the manifestation of power, glorious presence, and overall significance of God. Its expansion and breadth make His conspicuous handiwork known. (Mizmowr 19:1)
Day unto day pours out a proliferation of answers, words which explain. Night unto night reveals knowledge which leads to understanding. (Mizmowr 19:2)
Nothing exists, and everything is senseless, without the Word, without these answers and promises. Nothing matters or survives when and where the spoken and written message of the voice which calls out is corrupted or negated, when it becomes nameless and is no longer heard, regarded, or understood.” (Mizmowr 19:3)
This serves as a brilliant introduction to this profoundly important declaration…
“Yahowah’s Towrah | Teaching and Guidance is complete and perfect, restoring and transforming the soul. Yahowah’s testimony is trustworthy and reliable, making understanding simple for the open-minded. (Mizmowr 19:7)
Yahowah’s directions are correct, promoting a right attitude while facilitating good judgment. Yahowah’s terms and conditions of His covenant are purifying, illuminating the proper perspective. (Mizmowr 19:8)
Revering and respecting Yahowah purifies and perfects forever. Yahowah’s just means to resolve 108disputes is reliable and vindicating.” (Mizmowr / Psalm 19:1-3,7-9)
In both secular and sectarian cultures today, the “God of the Bible,” especially the One portrayed in what they errantly refer to as the “Old Testament,” is considered “hostile and wrathful, angry and resentful.” And yet, that is not how Dowd perceived Him, and no one knew Him better. In this statement, yet another pervasive myth is obliterated.
Based upon what we have learned from the inspired lyrics scribed by Yahowah’s chosen Shepherd, anointed Messiah, and beloved Son, nothing is more important than being correct with regard to Yahowah’s testimony, especially His Towrah, Miqra’ey, and Beryth. It is Yahowah’s instructions which make the kind of relationship and outcome Dowd enjoyed possible. The guidance he followed and the directions he learned and shared are all for our benefit. And since his assessments and insights are readily available, and recognizing that it’s an open book test, we have been given every opportunity to follow in his footsteps.
Dowd, through a lifetime of personal experience, realized that Yahowah “chanan – (in the qal imperative) wants to be genuinely compassionate and kind, lenient and merciful” toward us. And even though no one has ever held as high a status with Yahowah as Dowd, His beloved Son, he recognized his relative position and thus sought his Father’s intervention to “rapha’ – to promote him to a more preferable state.”
“You want to be kind to me, choosing to show compassion, mercy, and favoritism through me (chanan ‘any – of Your own volition You are generous toward me (qal imperative – be genuinely lenient and beneficial by choice)), Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – 109instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), for I am incapable of accomplishing this on my own (ky ‘umlal ‘any – I am too frail and lacking to prevail alone).
You have chosen to promote healing and restoration through me (rapha’ ‘any – You want me to be acceptable to promote recovery (qal imperative)), Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration), because (ky) my essential essence (‘etsem ‘any – my body and bones and my very substance, my skeleton and human nature) is anxious, eager to hasten the terrifying process (bahal – is looking to hurry things up, expediting an immediate response because I’m a bit uneasy and afraid (nifal perfect – for this momentary period of time, Dowd’s essential nature passively receives the means to hasten the agony)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:2)
Looking at these words superficially, we could correctly conclude that once we are enriched and empowered, life with Yahowah in heaven will be vastly superior to our time in the here and now, especially since we are surrounded by all manner of individual and institutionalized perversions of Yah’s message. Should this be the intent of his message, Dowd was ready to move on to the second and third phases of his life.
While I’m not fit to wear Dowd’s sandals, and while I’ve dealt with far less than he endured and am likely older than he was when he scribed these words, I no longer feel this way. I want to stay engaged and helpful for as long as possible, all in the expectation that one more soul, maybe even thousands of souls, may choose to know and accept Yahowah through these translations of his testimony.
110Although, as Dowd’s Herald and Yahowah’s Witness, I am anticipating the next phase of my life, when I will return with ‘ElYah at the midpoint of Ya’aqob’s Troubles. That will be tough duty, with a hostile audience and a deteriorating world, albeit exceedingly well supported and guaranteed a rewarding outcome.
Based on what we have learned, and considering Dowd’s assessment in the first line of this Song, there is the likelihood that our Messiah was eager to get on with the business of our salvation. He was willing and ready to serve as the Pesach ‘Ayil – even though he was cognizant of the agony he would endure. His personal contribution to the fulfillment of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, Shabuw’ah, Taruw’ah, Kipurym, and Sukah would become the defining moments in his lives. So he was affirming his commitment here for all to see.
Since he was cast in the starring role and knew what was going to occur and when, it is interesting to ponder the reason Dowd scribed this next lyric. His declarative statement was, thereby, rendered to encourage us to calculate the timing from all of the clues we have been given. In so doing, we have surmised that Dowd will return three to four years prior to Chag Matsah in year 4000 Yah and will arrive again on Yowm Kipurym in 6000 Yah, the 2nd of October 2033 at sunset in Yaruwshalaim.
Bereft of Howsha’s timeline, and without the prophetic revelations in Yasha’yah, Yirma’yah, Zakaryah, and Malaky, all of which would be written hundreds of years later, Dowd would not have held a prophetic text which delineates when he would be returning to fulfill the Mow’edym. But we do, and this knowledge is essential for us today.
However, since Yahowah’s timeline is very clearly presented in the opening books of the Towrah, someone as brilliant as Dowd would have figured it out. Further, he 111would have recognized that he was living in the exact center of Yahowah’s place and timing and that he would return in years 4000 and 6000 Yah – one to an anguishing experience, and one to herald a celebratory event.
As Dowd has explained, his participation in the most momentous dates in our unfolding relationship with God would be through the redeployment of his nepesh | consciousness.
“In addition (wa), my soul (nepesh ‘any – my consciousness, that part of me that animates life and enables me to observe my environment and respond, my inner person, personality, attitude, and aptitude, along with selected memories which are the aspects of my nature that will accompany me into eternity) is enormously eager and anxious about the terrifying agony (me’od bahal – is in a tremendous hurry, wanting to greatly hasten that which is anguishing and alarming).
So (wa – then), You (‘atah), Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), will commence the restoring witness (‘atah ‘ad matay – meanwhile, in consideration of this, the duration of time for the eternal testimony will show the overlapping dates and extended period). (Mizmowr 6:3)
Yahowah (Yahowah), You and I both want You to provide restoration (chalas nepesh ‘any – You have decided and I concur that Your desire is to reestablish the relationship (piel imperative paragogic heh cohortative – it is my overwhelming desire and Your will to dramatically restore)).
It is my desire and Your decision to deliver salvation with my soul (chalats nepesh ‘any – You have chosen to support my choice to have You do what is required to rescue and withdraw with my consciousness 112(piel imperative cohortative paragogic he second-person masculine singular – an expression of volition in first and second person whereby Yah and Dowd agree to save through his soul)).
You want to deliver me, liberating, rescuing, and saving through me (yasha’ ‘any – You have decided to be victorious with me, providing for the common good by delivering salvation through me (hifil imperative second-person masculine singular)) because of the witness this provides to (la ma’an – as a result of and in response to the testimony it provides regarding; from ‘anah – to answer, respond, and testify to) Your enduring love, unfailing kindness, tremendous generosity, and loyal devotion (chesed ‘atah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:4)
We have returned to the heart of the matter, to the central chord among the eight octaves. Yahowah wants to save us, to take us away from all forms of human opposition and subjugation, because He loves us. And the method Father and Son have jointly agreed to pursue to accomplish this great act of compassion is by deploying Dowd’s nepesh | soul throughout the Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out and Meet.
Due to the impending agony associated with fulfilling Passover and UnYeasted Bread, Dowd is apprehensive and, yet, committed. He simply wants to get past Matsah so that he can bask in Yahowah’s love throughout the rest of the Mow’ed and forevermore.
Dowd’s soul is the chosen implement of God’s compassion, the means He will use to save us from ourselves. This is Yahowah’s restoring witness. It is the path Father and Son have provided for us to come home.
It is only after the first three Mow’ed | Eternal and Restoring Witnesses to the Appointed Meetings have been successfully fulfilled, giving rise to the benefits of the 113Covenant, that we can commence heralding the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Harvests in anticipation of Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym such that Yisra’el is ready to be reconciled and camp out with God on Sukah. All things in their due time.
With the first three and sixth Miqra’ey fulfilled by Dowd’s nepesh, we witness Yahowah’s enduring love for His Son and His people. It is the ultimate collaboration.
This next stanza of Dowd’s lament is heartbreaking and yet undeniably true. Whether one sees Judaism or Christianity as the Plague of Death, even Islam as a death cult, or all three as diabolical, in each there is “‘ayn zeker – no mention or remembrance” of Yahowah – NONE! The very religions which claim that these Psalms were inspired by their god have no concept whatsoever of who God is, what He said, or where or why He disclosed these revelations; not even what He is offering and expects in return.
“For indeed (ky – because by contrast), there is no (‘ayn – no longer existing, in the void of nothingness it is all for naught) remembrance or mention of You (zeker ‘atah – there is no son, no children, and no recollection nor appreciation of You) in the plague of death (ba ha maweth – with the pandemic disease that causes entire populations to die, in perishing and being dispatched on a massive scale).
In She’owl and with Sha’uwl (ba She’owl – in the Place of Questioning, the grave where the dead reside or with Sha’uwl – the failed king and false prophet), who (my – how, when, why, and whom) will come to know You, expressing their appreciation for You (yadah la ‘atah – will recognize and acknowledge You, choosing to thank You, continuously making public announcements and declarations regarding their familiarity with Your eternal attributes; from yad – the hand (or ) and yada’ – know 114and understand, recognize and acknowledge (hifil imperfect jussive))?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:5)
It is the greatest irony of our time, perhaps of all human history. With almost every country, culture, and civilization founded, influenced, and/or controlled by religion, all of which claim to speak for God, there isn’t one that actually knows Yahowah or that leads souls toward Him.
The litmus test for the credibility of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and even Mormonism is ignorance of Yahowah’s name, the cause of which was removing it from His Word and replacing it with “the LORD” seven thousand times. Had that not been done by religious leaders, no one would have believed that the Lord, Jesus Christ, or Allah was God. Through this lone diabolical act, these religions became so debilitating and lethal.
Because of Sha’uwl, the New Testament’s Paul, Yahowah became irrelevant in the hearts of billions. His Towrah | Teaching was abolished, Jews were antagonized, and She’owl gained countless inhabitants. One soul can make an enormous impact on the world, enhancing life, as was the case with Dowd, or serving death, as was the consequence of Sha’uwl. Through Dowd, we come to appreciate Yah and are saved, and as a result of Paul, Yah has been completely disregarded and the faithful are shortchanged.
There are one of two fates awaiting the religious. Those who fathered and promoted these maniacal schemes, controlling people through them, will spend an eternity in She’owl | Hell. Those who were played for fools will simply die, their souls ceasing to exist. For believers, their lives will be for naught.
“I have done my part, expending the time and energy (yaga’ – I have been productive to the point of 115becoming weary for the moment, having labored extensively, striving to fulfill my job to the extent of my capability (qal perfect)), to the point of exhaustion over enduring physical and then emotional pain (ba ‘anachah ‘any – such that I sigh, expressing my exasperation of the agony of subsequent disapproval).
Within the all-encompassing darkness (ba kol laylah – in the total deprivation of light and complete obscurity of night), I swim (sachah – I move through the water (hifil imperfect)) within my bed of twisted injustice (mitah ‘any – my stretcher and bier used to carry the sick and dying which is incorrect, warped, and invalid) with my weeping and tears (ba dimah ‘any). My place of repose (‘eresh ‘any) is a place of testing, a trial focused on achieving the proper response (masah – of examination and hardship).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:6)
There have been many hints along the way, many far from subtle, that the 6th Mizmowr was written to explain what Dowd would endure to save his people. His has not been a bed of roses but, instead, tears. Pesach was physically painful while She’owl was emotionally excruciating.
And yet, even knowing how agonizing it would be, aware that his people would deny what he had done for them, he saw it through. He endured the darkness, swam in a sea of our injustice, and passed the test. He is now awaiting your response.
Not long ago, I had a similar conversation at dinner with the wife of a former business associate. Following a discussion with her husband about what I had come to know about Yahowah and His Towrah, Dowd and the Miqra’ey, and had subsequently written in these books and shared during all of the radio programs, she interrupted and said, “You need to do a better job of getting the word out so that more people know about this.” My reply was similar 116to Dowd’s: “I’ve been doing my part, having written 33 books and spoken on over 10,000 radio programs – freely offering everything I’ve learned through these translations. If someone chooses to disregard this information, then the failing is theirs, not mine.”
Although, my bravado was tempered once I became aware that Dowd was the Passover Lamb and that his soul endured She’owl to deposit the guilt of the Covenant Family in the least accessible place. While my contribution pales in comparison, if it were not for the realization that I had swum through a cesspool of human degradation composing Prophet of Doom and Questioning Paul, now presented in ten volumes of God Damn Religion and Twistianity, along with the volumes of the Babel series condemning Judaism, I would have been embarrassed.
The fact remains, however, that we should all be drawing these kinds of comparisons to Dowd. Since he is the example we are encouraged to follow, we should be listening to him, emulating him, and supporting him. We cannot do better than joining him as a child in the Covenant who, like our Shepherd, has contributed to the eternity of others.
“My eyes no longer function properly because I can no longer see straight (‘ashash ‘ayn ‘any – my ability to see has been incapacitated, and my sight is failing) due to (min – because of) this distressful situation, this mockery and provocation based upon erroneous perceptions (ka’as – the annoying sadness associated with these taunts and errant observations).
The condition is growing old and deteriorating (‘athaq – the situation is continuing to advance and is worsening) with all of my adversities, confinement, degradation, and troubles (ba kol tsarar ‘any – in the totality of the constraints being placed on me by all of those besieging me, with all of the distressful things that are 117being done to diminish my significance, along with the constant attempts of those who are hostile toward me, who demonstrate their enmity, to silence me).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:7)
While Dowd is unique and irreplaceable, our empathy for our King and resulting respect grows when we try to see these events from his perspective. His willingness to offer his soul as the means to fulfill Chag Matsah was heroic because the physical and emotional anguish would have been horrific. However, there was something far more debilitating and appalling that he would endure as a result of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. And that is having endured this hellish ordeal for the benefit of his people only to have Yisra’el and Yahuwdah deny that he had done so. And that is Dowd’s issue here. He is rightfully frustrated and disappointed. Between Judaism and Christianity, both conceived by Jews, his role in our salvation has been swept aside and denied.
We have become especially alert any time Dowd’s significance is assailed because he is the most important person in Yah’s plans for His People – especially His children. The “tsarar – Adversary” has done a masterful job of “tsarar – diminishing” his relevance, “tsarar – assailing” his credibility through Sha’uwl and Akiba, the “tsarar – rival” to the king and “tsarar – adversarial” apostle.
With Dowd’s “tsarar – significance constrained,” the light he shines on Yahuwdah, Yaruwshalaim, Mowryah, Tsyown, and especially the Towrah | Teaching and Beryth | Covenant is “tsarar – dimmed.” It is the beloved Son, the main Branch, the anointed Messiah, the chosen Shepherd, the Lamb of God, and Yisra’el’s King who, more than anyone else, is responsible for Yisra’el’s redemption and reconciliation, and is now calling his people home, ready to meet them once they arrive.
118As we are aware, both Sha’uwls, the adversarial king and opposition apostle, were demon-possessed. In addition to their hostility toward Dowd, and their fixation on discrediting him, both sought to annul and mischaracterize the Towrah which guided him.
Also interesting with regard to tsarar, we are once again confronted with the realization that Dowd’s “adversaries” will be responsible for Yisra’el’s “troubles” and, thus, be indistinguishable from Yahowah’s “enemies.” The horrible period that awaits Yisra’elites | Israelis and Yahuwdym | Jews, when the nation and people are besieged and constrained, Yowm Tsarah known as the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, is based upon tsarar.
And the only time it’s good to have enemies is when our foes are adversarial to God and His People. Then they are a badge of honor, demonstrating that we are right.
Dowd, like his Heavenly Father, had no use for, or interest in, anyone who was opposed to Yahuwdym or Yisra’el. And he, like God, was and remains committed to ridding our planet of their stench. In this light, this is one of the few places where it does not matter if we render the imperative mood as a command or as a choice because those opposed to God will be taken away one way or the other.
“Get away from me (suwr min ‘any – whether by compulsion or choice, leave me alone, go away because you are rejected and forsaken and will be taken away or abolished, removed from my presence (qal imperative)), all of you who carry out (kol pa’al – who perform, fashion or forge, plot and devise, or benefit from (qal participle)) that which is corrupt and deceitful (‘awen – evil and injurious, dishonest and fraudulent, religious and idolatrous, harmful and misleading) because (ky – for indeed) Yahowah (Yahowah) has heard (shama’ – has listened to) the voice sounding (qowl) my lament and the 119expressions of my consternation (baky ‘any – my dismay and disappointment).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:8)
Dowd wants to rid the world of those who are misleading and religious. He was not interested in saving them.
A number of years ago, I went through a trying episode with a Covenant member and a long-time friend who didn’t like the way I responded to an email filled with the revolting religious arguments of a Moody Theological Seminary graduate. I took Dowd’s approach, which was to expose and condemn the religious diatribe, while “my friend” not only condemned me for doing so, he advocated accommodation and acceptance, drawing the Christian into fellowship rather than pushing him away.
Since Yahowah has affirmed that Dowd is right and clearly inspired these lyrics, the correct approach to theological postulates and fraudulent religious rhetoric is to respond similarly. We are not born into a Spirit of compromise but instead of contrast. If we are not distinctly different and show it, we are not Covenant.
Stated another way, no one has ever come to know God by advocating or accommodating religious positions. Until a person starts questioning their religion, Yahowah and His testimony remain outside their grasp. God’s Word is squandered on those who argue for its counterfeits. Therefore, when someone says or writes something to us that we know to be inconsistent with Yahowah’s testimony, our initial responsibility is to refute the fraudulent claims. Then when corrected, if the individual acknowledges that they were wrong and are receptive to the truth, we can share the Towrah and Beryth with them.
I realize that you will find “obey” written after “listen and hear” among the definitions of shama’ in many lexicons, even though there is no support for that 120connotation linguistically. And yet, this is one of many statements in which the very notion of rendering shama’ as “obey” is absurd since Dowd is speaking to God.
The religious want their constituents to obey them, which they achieve by misrepresenting God’s instructions as commands and then misrepresenting His vocabulary such that “listening” is convoluted into “obeying.” But how many times can we point this out before we realize that we are pounding our heads against the brick wall of faith? Dowd had had enough, and who’s to blame him?
Lastly, since ‘any | my modifies baky | consternation, not the qowl | voice, it is possible, perhaps likely, that the Voice is that of the King’s Herald. He would vocalize the Zarowa’s lament at a time when the injurious delusions were the most debilitating.
Turning to the next statement, Dowd realized that when we ask God to do what He wants done we can be assured that He will do as we request. So, while taphilah does not mean “prayer,” if you want your petitions answered, follow Dowd’s example. And as you do, please note how often he refers to Yahowah by name. In this one verse, there are two more than you’ll find in both Talmuds combined.
“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration) has listened to (shama’ – has heard (qal perfect)) this favor for me (tachinah ‘any – this consideration for me).
Yahowah (Yahowah) has received, grasped hold of, and accepts (laqach – has obtained and approves (qal imperfect)) my thoughtful request to intervene (taphilah ‘any – my desire to provide intercession; from palal – meditation regarding intervening, judgment based upon thoughtful consideration, and a diligent assessment leading 121to a responsible reaction, to consider, decide, and judge).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:9)
Once again, we find evidence that Dowd went to Yahowah with this request. For a myriad of reasons, he wanted to redeem himself and save his people by fulfilling Pesach and Matsah. His motivations were pure and his argument was sound, and so, considering that the enormous cost was paid over two days and the benefits would endure forever, Yahowah agreed with His Son. He not only received his request to intervene, He accepted it, quickly grasping the implications.
Under the auspices of full disclosure, tachinah is a challenging concept to accurately translate because its root, chanan | mercy does not work in this sentence. Further, it cannot be applied to Dowd in this context. So, to better appreciate the meaning of tachinah, we need to consider how it is used early in the Towrah. And we find that it is conveyed a disproportionate amount of the time in the hitpael stem, where the speaker is acting on his own initiative. In these cases, tachinah is an “earnest plea made by someone beseeching another for a favor without any outside influence.” It’s not providing a favor but, instead, requesting one, which is why it was defined as such in Mizmowr 6:9 above.
Dowd was requesting a chanan | favor – in fact, he wanted two of them. He wanted the popular deceptions and religious delusions swirling around him silenced so that his people could capitalize on his sacrifice. In addition, he wanted Yahowah to approve his request – the most wonderful and terrifying decision ever made. He wanted the opportunity to serve as the Pesach ‘Ayil.
And yet, there is still another challenge in this sentence, this one overcoming a long history of religious influence on the text. English Bibles render taphilah as “prayer,” even though there is no basis for that connotation 122in the etymology of the word. It is from palal, which is “to think and consider then judge, to meditate and then request intervention.” Dowd wanted to intercede for his people, and the best way to do that was by fulfilling Chag Matsah, which is inclusive of Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym. He would leave us to gather in the Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah Harvests in anticipation of his Kipurym return.
Lastly, the use of laqach, meaning “to grasp, receive, accept, and hold,” is ill-fitting when viewed from the perspective of obtaining and holding something in one’s hands. However, it is perfectly suited to the idea of mentally embracing an idea, grasping its meaning and accepting its potential.
Cognizant of these realities, of the actual meaning of shama’, tachinah, laqach, and taphilah, my translation differs markedly from more popular renderings. But at least now you are aware of my rationale for these choices.
The prime purveyor of forgiveness isn’t usually in a forgiving mood. We should, therefore, view Dowd’s sacrifice as divisive, separating those for whom it was intended from those who would deny what he had accomplished.
Said another way, while Dowd perfected the Children of the Covenant by taking our collective guilt to She’owl and depositing it there, never to be seen again, he also earned the right to determine She’owl’s future inmates. And as it would transpire, he is eager to humiliate those who disparaged his name, titles, accolades, and sacrifice.
“All (kol – every one of) my enemies with animosity and rancor (‘oyeb ‘any – my foes, those opposed to me, those who show hostility toward me) will be ashamed and humiliated as a result of their own choices (bowsh – will have chosen to be disparaged and embarrassed (qal imperfect jussive)).
123They will have chosen their fate which will be terrifying and agonizing beyond comprehension, receiving what they have chosen to perpetrate (wa ma’od bahal – they will be totally bewildered and altogether despondent, trembling (nifal imperfect jussive)).
Once again, as a result of their own choices and having turned away, they will be held accountable for their shameful ambitions (shuwb bowsh – again and again they have turned their backs and pursued disparaging desires, having repeatedly chosen wrongly and thus have been continuously mistaken, and at long last, they will be found guilty and thus be forever embarrassed as a result of their motivations (qal imperfect jussive)) in an instant and continually thereafter (rega’ – at that moment and constantly for the full duration of time).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 6:10)
The Messiah wasn’t being mean, or even vindictive but, instead, equitable and fair. Those who had deprived his people of the restored dignity he had afforded them would be denied theirs. Those who had promoted Judaism and Christianity to deny him the respect he had earned, and Yisra’el of the opportunity for redemption, chose their fate by denying others a better life.
This known, the concluding sentence is a bit of a challenge to translate because the primary use of shuwb is “to return,” which is the opposite of what Dowd would be asking. And while shuwb is used to speak of “returning” 270 times, its second most common usage, occurring some 120 times, is as an “auxiliary verb whose function is to repeat the action of the verb which follows,” in this case, bowsh. We should, therefore, recognize that there has been a repeated propensity for the religious in general and Jews in particular to turn away from God. This reflects a pattern of behavior that will result in continuous reprisal.
124It is telling that so many have shown an aversion toward Dowd’s status with God, preferring to see Jesus, Akiba, Paul, Muhammad, or Maimonides in his place. Indirectly, even prime ministers, presidents, and popes are in opposition to Dowd as the undisputed King of Yisra’el because they want to control their nation’s status and fate. While many prefer to solicit other saviors, they have chosen poorly, bringing judgment upon themselves. Even today, Christians value King James over King Dowd.
Those who sought acclaim, to rise above the most uncommon of men, will in the end be shamed before Dowd. Those who have promised salvation elsewhere will be denied it.
When contemplating the nature of Dowd’s foes, keep in mind they were not a collection of isolated individuals with petty personal grievances. Dowd represents Yahowah and His Towrah, His Beryth and Miqra’ey, and he is Yisra’el and Yahuwdah. He is the tsadaq | rightful heir to all God is offering. Dowd is the beloved Son of God, the Firstborn of the Covenant Family, the Branch from which everything worthwhile grows, the Prophet who explained the past and revealed the future, the lyricist who sang the songs God most loved to hear, the Shepherd of our Father’s sheep, the Sacrificial Lamb who made our salvation possible, and the returning King of the Universe.
Dowd | David is living proof that the Towrah not only instructs and guides, but indeed saves, nullifying the basis of Christianity. Further undermining the world’s most popular lie, he is the Savior, the Son of God, and the Messiah.
But he is also lethal to Judaism because, as the Messiah fulfilling the first three and then the sixth Mow’ed, there is no basis for rabbinic Judaism, for Akiba, for his false Messiah, bar Kokhba, or for denying the benefits of Pesach while avoiding Matsah and Bikuwrym altogether. 125The rabbinical denial of these things led to the destruction of the Temple, the razing of Judea, the Diaspora, and the prolonged estrangement from God.
As such, his foes are those who have chosen to ignore all of this and establish political institutions and religious doctrines in conflict with his life and lyrics. In the most broadly accurate and relevant sense, Dowd is predicting that those who have chosen to promulgate religious or political ideologies will be humiliated the moment he returns.
Dowd never met a threat to his people that he didn’t confront, and over a lifetime of conflict, it never grew wearisome for him to defend Yisra’el. But this was an entirely different situation. He would be surrendering body and soul, willingly allowing the worst of his people’s foes to torture him before going to Hell to restore God’s Family. And there would be no fanfare on this occasion, only rebuke. The greatest gift ever offered would be purloined, misappropriated by some and denied by others. And so, the Zarowa’ was naturally anguished by the slanderous rebuke. And there was a torrent of it because the fullness and importance of his life remain largely unknown.
For his people to benefit from what he has done, those who have misled the world for the sake of their religion must be silenced and refuted. The greatest treasure is of no value until it is found and made available to those who will benefit from it.
While it is common for Dowd to dedicate his Songs, it is highly unusual for him to title them – as he has done with the 7th Mizmowr. This is also the only occasion where Dowd has designated his rival – so this should be 126interesting, especially because the Savior’s Psalm is uniquely instructive, providing Yahowah’s evaluation of and answer to Pauline Christianity…
About Erring and Going Astray as well as the Consequence of Ignorance
“Erring and Going Astray (shigayown – the consequence of being misled and of being ravaged and raped by the ignorant, the story about the one who intoxicates the foolish and leads them away, including the significance of being mistaken; from shagah – to go astray, to err, to mislead and inebriate by way of ignorance and own – that which pertains to the preceding).
By Dowd (la Dowd – according to the Beloved), who, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher – which to reveal the correct and narrow path to get the most out of life), sang (syr – he conveyed verbally in a melodic and rhythmic manner) to (la – for) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration) against (‘al – concerning and in opposition to) the words and accounts (dabary – the manner of speaking, the statements, and the message) of the lowly cauldron (kuwsh – a crucible, a furnace for testing and evaluating, then discarding; from kuwr – to smelt and remove in a furnace and/or uwshy – insignificant and weak, and thus lowly and little) of the Benjamite (Benyamyny – son of the right side or from the south).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7: Title and Dedication)
This title is important because it means that this Mizmowr was written to “shigayown – explain the consequence of going astray, of being wrong, and even of ignorance” which results in someone being “ravaged and 127raped by the foolish who have been misled and intoxicated.”
While this title is broadly stated, the additional dialog begins to zero in on the man who propagated the misleading religion that has negatively influenced Yisra’el. He is one of the two most infamous Benjamites – albeit this one’s words need to be opposed.
This known, there are no Kuwshites from the tribe of Benjamin – adding additional credibility to the prospect of translating the word rather than trying to transliterate it as a name. Along these lines, attitudinally, a slight majority of the references to kuwsh are unfavorable.
Textually, there appears to be a plot underfoot – one that became evident as I was attempting to ascertain how lexicons such as Strong’s opined that “Cush = black.” Predisposed to verify prior to relying on, I couldn’t find the slightest validation for “black.” As a result, it appears that political and religious interests have tried to hoodwink the unwary so as to justify the likes of the slave trade and racial discrimination. And yet, Yahowah knew that they would do so and rebuked them. He would write: “Can the Kuwshy change his skin?” (Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 13:23)
Also, be aware, everyone who has attempted to resolve this question is either speculating or extrapolating. And speaking of such, my initial assessment is that this Benjamite beast is none other than Sha’uwl, the wannabe apostle, not the king. As we move through the text, I encourage you to form your own conclusions.
As we move into the Song itself, we find Dowd reinforcing the Covenant’s third condition, that we come to trust and rely upon Yahowah. As a result, he knew that God would save him.
“Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – 128instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), my God (‘elohym ‘any), in You (ba ‘atah – with You and near You), I find a trusted shelter and a safe place (chasah – comfort and refuge, protection (qal perfect)).
You have decided to deliver me and save through me (yasha’ ‘any – You are victorious, choosing to rescue and liberate by enabling me to be like You (hifil imperative second-person masculine singular – You choose to pursue salvation through me)).
Your will is to defend me and to deliver salvation through me, snatching me away (natsal ‘any – You have decided to rescue me (hifil imperative second-person masculine singular)) from all (min kol) my pretentious pursuers, especially the boisterous who are verbally contentious against me (radaph ‘any – those who overwhelmingly confuse, who boldly devise schemes against me without merit, the arrogant and afflicted, frenzied and senseless, the proud and defiant, self-willed who promote false gods and encourage religious worship, a pejorative term for the idolatrous (qal participle)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:1)
Dowd didn’t just find chasah | shelter, he would become the King of Sukah | Shelters. While the Miqra’ey commence with sacrifices in Passover and UnYeasted Bread, they conclude with the celebrations of Reconciliations and Shelters. And throughout, Dowd is the star of the show.
In this war of words between the most relevant Yahuwd and the pretentious and predatory Benjamite, I was particularly intrigued with how the imperative shaped the prophecy such that we find Dowd in the center of Yah’s will. And by using the hifil stem, we find Yahowah using Dowd to save Yisra’el. Over the long march of history, there have been two individuals who have been especially 129contentious with Dowd, the misguided King Sha’uwl | Saul and the mistaken Apostle Sha’uwl | Paul. The former tried to kill him, and the latter sought to nullify him. So, we’ll continue to look for clues that may point us in one direction or the other.
Should you be wondering why I categorically state that Paul sought to undermine the importance of Dowd and the promises made to him, the answer is as obvious as it is profoundly important. Therefore, in an upcoming chapter we are going to excoriate Paul’s arguments regarding Dowd, one of which is found in Acts (which we have previously reviewed) and the other in Romans. On both occasions, the “Father of Lies” and “Son of Wickedness” deliberately misquoted Yahowah to grossly misrepresent what Dowd wrote and upend what he represents, thereby nullifying the cure for his plague.
This assessment of Paul is important to Jews for two reasons. First, Judaism was conceived to confront his lies – although it did so by piling more lies on top of Sha’uwl’s. And second, Christianity has done more to harm Jews than any religion other than Judaism.
We will pursue the arguments Dowd | the Beloved has against Sha’uwl | Question Him, leaving no doubt that the principal author of the Christian New Testament was Satan’s Apostle. For the first time, perhaps since the 7th and 89th Mizmowr / Psalms were recorded, we are undermining the myth of Christianity and its “Lord Jesus Christ” while at the same time establishing what Dowd represents to Yahowah, to the Covenant, and to all of us – especially Yisra’el.
Also relevant, Dowd was not asking Yah to help him in a debate. He would not need any. The 89th Mizmowr is more than sufficient. Further, he was not asking to save the boisterous and contentious but, instead, to deliver him from them. We are called to separate ourselves from the ways of 130men, not chase after them. We are not called to save the world but, instead, to distance ourselves from it.
“Or otherwise (pen – because lest he would), in the manner of (ka – just as and compared to) a fiercely destructive being, a vicious beast in search of prey (‘aryah – perhaps as a lion; from ‘arah – to pluck away through the course of one’s life), he would rip apart (taraph – he would tear into pieces in a violent and abhorrent manner, seeking to destroy me to his own satisfaction, negating and mangling in an appalling manner) my soul (nepesh ‘any – my consciousness, giving me the ability to observe and respond, the essence of my life, my attributes, attitude, and ambitions), snatching it away and shredding it (paraq – stripping it of any meaning such that it shrivels up and is removed), depriving it of its ability to save (ba ‘ayn natsal – without sparing it (hifil participle)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:2)
The most verbally contentious Benjamite, easily the most boisterous and pretentious, gave rise to the ultimate beast: Sha’uwl | Paul fathered the Roman Catholic Church and its stepchildren, Orthodox and Protestant Christianity. No one has afflicted Yahuwdym more egregiously with his vicious anti-Semitic snarl and bite than this overwhelmingly confusing and senselessly defiant, especially egotistical Benjamite wolf.
Also telling, in his lone attempted prophecy, one he actually got wrong, Sha’uwl | Paul used the Greek word harpazo to predict a violent snatching away during the “Rapture” – thereby linguistically identifying himself as Dowd’s adversary, making him the vicious Benjamite wolf in sheep’s clothing.
As a prophet, at some point, Dowd was shown how his life and lyrics would be diminished and demeaned by the Sha’uwl of Christendom. After all, no one would have a 131more pervasive influence over how he and his testimony would be perceived relative to others or over how his people would be treated.
Considering all that Dowd had achieved and written, the overwhelming popularity of Paul’s noxious drivel would have been shocking to Dowd. The man known for his relationship with God, for his brilliant mind, and inspiring oratory would have been disoriented by the realization that such stupidity had become so widely accepted. And so, I can almost see the puzzled expression on his face as he asked God if he was somehow to blame. Then as he sobered to this disorienting reality, Dowd returned to the feisty fellow we have all come to know and love. He taunted the wayward Benjamite, daring his rival to press his case directly before him – not to correct him but, instead, to nullify the adversarial effect of this adversary on his people.
This said, since Dowd’s soul has never been at risk to the likes of Sha’uwl, we have a couple of ways to process this reference. Dowd is symbolic of Yahuwdah, and there is no question that the soul of Yah’s people has been in jeopardy for a long time, specifically as Yahuwdym | Jews have been menaced by Christians these past two thousand years. Or we can see his nepesh representing the personalization of Dowd’s ultimate sacrifice, such that Paul was trying to undermine what he had accomplished.
“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration), my God (‘elohy), what have I done to deserve this (‘im ‘asah zo’th – how did what I accomplished lead to this (qal perfect))?
How is there (‘im yesh – what exists of any substance so show) anything wrong, dishonest, or disingenuous (‘awel – at fault, misleading, inappropriate, or anything 132contrary to the standard, deviating from it) on my hand (ba kaph ‘any)? (Mizmowr 7:3)
Under what condition (‘im) have I rendered and deserve the punishment (gamal – have I dealt out something deserving being rewarded this way (qal perfect)) of a malignant and miserable attack by an adversarial and contemptible countryman who is hurtful and injurious (ra’ – overwhelmingly evil ethnically related loudmouthed individual) as recompense for me having completely fulfilled the means to reconciliation (shalem ‘any – for me having made full restitution, totally enabling the way to restoration (qal participle))?
Have I inappropriately, without justification or reasonable cause, taken something away, withdrawing favor to plunder the relationship (wa ryqam chalats – have I vainly removed and withdrawn something (piel imperfect paragogic cohortative)) from this adversary trying to limit and constrain me (tsarar ‘any – from the enemy besieging me, the foe attempting to bind me, this hostile opponent and troublesome rival of mine)? (Mizmowr 7:4)
This hostile opponent and antagonist, this adversarial foe (‘oyeb – this rancorous individual with personal enmity (singular)) has chosen to pursue and persecute (radaph – he, of his own volition, wants to press his case, aggressively striving to systematically harass (qal imperfect third-person masculine singular jussive)) my soul (nepesh ‘any – my conscious ability to observe and respond, my attitude and aptitude, the essence of my life and purpose).
Further (wa), he has chosen to confrontationally overshadow (nasag – he wants to overtake and replace, extending boundaries (hifil imperfect third-person masculine singular jussive)) and consistently treads upon 133(wa ramas – and he wants to trample and stamp on (hifil imperfect third-person masculine singular jussive)) my lives (chayym ‘any – the times I have lived) for the Land (la ha ‘erets).
Therefore (wa), my overall relevance and reward, my significance and status, my respect and reputation (kabowd ‘any – my dignity and honor, abundant attributes and presence, my manifestation of power and glorious gift), he wants to dwell and remain, always placed (shakan – he has chosen for me to always reside (hifil imperfect third-person masculine singular jussive)) within the dust, dirt, and debris (la ha ‘aphar – as the smallest aspect of the material realm).
Let’s pause now and contemplate what has been brought before us (selah).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:5)
Having previously translated Psalms 22 and 88, I am aware that Dowd wrote accurately and graphically of the great suffering he endured to fulfill Pesach and Matsah, leading to Bikuwrym. And now, based upon this Mizmowr, it’s evident that he was taken forward another one to four scores of years, a mere blink of the eye, to witness the systematic undoing of what he had done. As horrific as the agony of Roman crucifixion and incarceration in She’owl | Hell had been, this would have been far worse.
It’s not just that Paul and Akiba would deny what the Messiah had accomplished by disavowing the fulfillment of the Miqra’ey, they both offered Dowd’s acclaim to a counterfeit – Jesus and bar Kokhba respectively. The most credible man who ever lived, performing the most prophetically detailed act in history, in full public view, was replaced by the likes of the Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy, or if you prefer, variations on Dionysus and Marduk.
Paul and Akiba would not only preclude Gentiles and Jews from benefiting from the salvation Dowd had 134provided, but both would also lie, claiming to speak in the name of God. Their vile denouncements would be treasured as Scripture.
Since this villainy was attributed to a single individual, as we strive to determine if the culprit was Paul, Akiba, or Muhammad, it is germane to know that without Sha’uwl, there is no Rabbinic Judaism and, thus, no Akiba or Muhammad. Paul was the instigator and Christianity, Judaism, and Islam were the consequence. I say this because the defining event in Akiba’s life was foisting a false Messiah on Jews to counter the false claims Paul and Peter had made of their Dionysian Christ. It led to the Roman invasion and Diaspora. Further, Islam’s Quran would have been limited to meaningless Yemenite poetry had rabbis not sold Muhammad the Talmud readings he used to make himself, his religion, and his god appear real.
Paul was among the first to use the title rabbi when he claimed to be the wisest and most devoted of them. Preference for the term grew within religious circles throughout the late 1st and 2nd centuries, leading to its aggrandizement in the Babylonian Talmud.
Having been exposed to this arrogant beast, to the Towrahless One known as Paul, and considering Paul’s lack of evidence and dearth of reason, Dowd would have been champing at the bit to condemn him in this manner. He would need neither sling nor stone to topple the edifice that has become Christianity. Dowd would make his case within the inspired word of Yahowah while his foe advanced his vile rhetoric by misquoting God, then claiming, “But I, Paul, say…”
It is blatantly obvious that Dowd isn’t railing against some nameless village idiot who was once affiliated with the deceased king, Sha’uwl. This adversary is so infamous and irritating that God, Himself, hates him and is 135committed to excoriating him. Dowd is equally inflamed and engaged against what Paul has wrought.
The most exasperating line among these is, “Under what circumstance (‘im), after what I’ve rendered, do I deserve the chastisement, criticism, and castigation (gamal) of a malignant and miserable attack by an adversarial and contemptible countryman who is deliberately hurtful and injurious (ra’) as recompense for me having completely fulfilled the means to reconciliation (shalem ‘any)?”
Dowd had completed the most courageous and magnanimous act in the history of humankind by fulfilling Pesach and Matsah only to have a marginally literate and largely irrational, demon-possessed, wannabe Jewish rabbi misappropriate everything on behalf of an absurd counterfeit. Paul even had the chutzpah to claim that Dowd was dead and buried, his remains in the dust of the earth, giving him the right to call his misnomer the Son of God, the Christ, and Savior. And by a factor of 10,000,000,000 to 1, the false prophet is believed, and the actual prophet is denied. It’s incredulous. How can the religious be this stupid?
“Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation), You and I both want to take a stand, having jointly decided to rise up in opposition (quwm – it is my will and Your desire, in that we both agree that we must stand upright against this foe (qal imperative paragogic cohortative second-person masculine singular)) in Your righteous indignation, tremendous resentment, and resolute anger (ba ‘aph ‘any – in Your fury and great animosity, showing Your extreme displeasure and antipathy, nostrils flaring).
136You have chosen to rise up (nasa’ – Your will is to be carried away and aroused (nifal imperative)) against (ba) the insolent and arrogant outbursts (‘ebrah – the epic rage and fury, the overwhelmingly haughty pride, and the unpleasant actions) of the troublesome rival trying to limit and constrain me (tsarar ‘any – the enemy besieging me, the foe attempting to bind me, this hostile opponent and distressful and vexing adversary of mine).
You and I both want to be alert and aroused, ready for action, eager to expose the false testimony (wa ‘uwr – Your will is to stir up and expose the chaff (qal imperative paragogic cohortative second-person masculine singular)) toward me (‘el ‘any).
You have explained and appointed (tsawah – You have provided direction and instruction regarding (piel perfect)) judgment and the means to make informed and rational decisions regarding the way to resolve disputes (mishpat – prompting good judgment, rational thinking, and effective debate; from ma – ponder the implications of shaphat – making good decisions based upon sound judgment with disciplined analysis under the auspices of a judiciary using legitimate evidence and persuasive arguments).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:6)
Neither Father nor Son should be presumed tolerant. And nothing upsets them more than misappropriating and nullifying what they have collaboratively accomplished to restore the Covenant. It is a demeaning insult to Dowd and an affront to Yahowah, making it look like He could neither save nor honor His promises. By denying the Miqra’ey which provide the benefits of the Covenant, everything Father and Son sought to achieve and offer is thwarted.
Yahowah had come up with a wonderful plan and Dowd had executed it to perfection. The problem remained as it had always been – people – and in particular, the 137Chosen People. The religious ruin everything they touch, such that even the best that Father and Son have to offer is stained and sullied beyond recognition.
God is rightly opposed to the religious. He will hold them in contempt. Those who rob Dowd of his dignity and Yahowah of His Family through religious misappropriations have engendered the Almighty’s wrath. He will not pity those they fooled, and He will remain resolutely angry at those who misled them.
One of the most relevant insights into the Towrah, Prophets, and Psalms is that Yahowah invests as much time exposing and condemning religion as He does teaching us how to best live our lives. These Mizmowr are no exception. Since the moment He began speaking with us, God has been resolute, always ready to direct our attention to the hellish consequence of false testimony.
In this case, Yahowah’s animosity is directed toward those who have spoken falsely of His Son. And since Judaism and Christianity both deny Dowd fulfilled Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym and that he will return on Kipurym to be King of Sukah, He will judge those He has come to resent.
Through Moseh and Dowd, Yahowah provided us with the means to make informed and rational decisions regarding His way to resolve the disputes which otherwise estrange us. All three were essential to this process. And yet, the religious not only choose poorly, but they also make it difficult to know and accept the truth. They have become the ultimate impediment.
If not for considerable due diligence, I may have been among the many misinterpreting Dowd’s use of la’om in this next statement. Throughout the Towrah and into the Prophets, it consistently seems to address “people of distinct political and religious entities or the population of different nations and regions who congregate together 138under their leaders and who are governed by antiquated philosophies like paganism.” And considering the overwhelming infusion of Greek language and ideas into Judaism and Christianity, both are considerations. And while that would normally be a bad thing, in this case, Father and Son are inviting them to return to Yisra’el after joining them in the refutation of their religion.
In particular, there are three Babylons in which Jews live, three la’om from which they are being called out. The United States of America, and to a slightly lesser extent, Europe, is political Babylon – nations that have not only armed Israel’s enemies but have also sought to give them large swaths of the Promised Land. The region surrounding God’s Home on Earth, the places corrupted by Muhammad and Islam, all of which seek to destroy the Jewish State, represent geographic Babylon. And the Roman Catholic Church is the epitome of religious Babel.
The Church has long been the principal source of Jewish antagonism worldwide. After nearly two thousand years of oppression, millions of ethnic Jews have chosen to assimilate into these cultures rather than be degraded and murdered by them. Affirming this, recent DNA studies demonstrate that there may be as many Jews in religious and geographic Babylon as there are in political Babylon. And so, here we find Yahowah’s troubadour calling the “la’om – people from these three distinct national and religious interests and geographical locations” back into his fold, back home where Dowd can watch over them and protect them, back to Yahowah.
Those who answer the call to leave the la’om of babel, and who participate in the second exodus, will not arrive unaccompanied. Covenant Members who have been echoing Dowd’s message, those who have chosen to serve as witnesses, will be there to welcome them now that they all share a common and correct understanding of Father and Son.
139“Let the people formerly of distinct political and religious entities (la’omym – the population of different nations and regions who had congregated together under their leaders and who were governed by antiquated philosophies (plural)), and the community of the Witness (wa ‘edah – the flock of those who acknowledge the testimony (singular)), choose to surround You, turning to You of their own volition, electing to change such that they can gather around You (sabab ‘atah – elect to change such that they can gather around You (poel – brings about a state whereby these people are intensely influenced by their choices, imperfect – with unfolding consequences, jussive – as a result of their decisions made under the auspices of freewill, and energic nun – to be emphatic about the future)).
As a result of this (wa ‘al hy’ – and over this), You and I concur, wanting You to return and restore (shuwb – You desire and I concur that You should come back and reinstate (qal imperative paragogic cohortative – will be genuinely and significantly influenced as a result of their desire to return, being in sync with God’s will)) the approach to the heights of heaven (la ha marowm – to draw near the highest place; from ruwm – to be lifted up and rise, growing while contributing).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:7)
Yahowah, Dowd, and his Witness are calling the Chosen People back home, and out of human control, to live together with God. Coming Home is a two-step process, beginning with leaving the realm of man. Then, after learning what is not true, they and we must accept Yahowah’s witness as accurate. Sure, there are some other conditions, but it all begins this way.
This is the conclusion of mankind’s six-thousand-year degradation of the Earth. Yahowah is coming home. And a remnant of Yisra’el along with some gowy Covenant Members will be there to welcome Father and Son. We will 140gather in Yaruwshalaim on Reconciliations in year 6000 Yah. It will be a grand reunion. Father and Son will not only arrive together, they will be in one accord.
Also worth considering, especially in light of the prophecy referencing the Nakry | Observant Foreigner, and consistent with the idea that the la’om represents political, religious, and geographic Babylon: this observant foreigner was born in America, symbolic of political Babylon, raised a Christian, indicative of religious Babylon, and began working with Yahowah by exposing and condemning the Quran, Muhammad, Allah, and Islam – the genesis of geographic Babylon. Just as Moseh was chosen in part because he was in Mitsraym | Egypt and raised such that he understood and rejected its political, religious, militaristic, and economic doctrines and agendas, I, more than most, comprehend the adversarial nature of the la’om from which Yah is calling His people. It is possible that Prophet of Doom (now God Damn Religion) preceded Yada Yahowah because understanding Islam was the weak link in this foreigner’s résumé. To be effective, the Nakry would have to love Yahowah’s testimony as much as he would come to hate that of His rivals.
Moving on, the lives, lyrics, and lessons of Dowd reveal that he was accepted by God because he was right regarding God. Time and time again we have found that it isn’t about being a good person, about believing, about religion, or about being charitable. It’s not even about having a good heart but about being correct.
“Yahowah (Yahowah) decides and can choose to contend with or defend (dyn – judges, and can govern and, thus, guide, or can argue against (qal imperative)) the people and family (‘am – the people).
Yahowah (Yahowah), You have chosen to execute justice, to lead, govern, and judge through me (shaphat ‘any – Your will is to adjudicate between the parties with 141me, deciding what is right and wrong, vindicating and sentencing, through me (qal imperative)) in accordance with (ka – consistent with and in comparison to) me being right (tsadaq ‘any – me being accurate and correct, righteous and vindicated, justified and declared innocent, honest and fair, in accord with the standard and straightforward, acquitted and acquitting, cleared and voided of all charges) and consistent with (wa ka – according to) the totality of my integrity and character leading to innocence (towm ‘any ‘al ‘any – my morality and guilt-free nature, that which completes me, causing me to be upright and innocent).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:8)
Every which way words allow, Dowd is holding a referendum on what he and his Father have accomplished. And it is how we respond to it which determines if God is our judge or guide, contending with or defending us.
This known, Yahowah is the Great Delegator. And so, He has assigned for His Son to serve as exonerator or condemner. For the practitioners of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Progressive Wokeism, that’s a frightening realization because the advocates of each have denied him and his Father.
Also, if I may – like Father like Son. So be forewarned: Dowd is going to delegate his role as Judge and Jury. And based on his revelations to Dany’el, it appears that it will be to the two Witnesses – ‘ElYah and Yada – who will be afforded that distinction. With the help of the mal’ak, and under Yahowah’s authority and Dowd’s direction, they will be determining which souls deserve She’owl versus eradication. And they will do so such that those who were abused by these horrendous individuals are afforded closure, knowing that justice has been served.
However, Dowd is far more than simply a Judge because he is also Savior. Those who recognize and accept 142what he has accomplished will be vindicated by him. Dowd’s credentials were stated in this declaration. He was right about God and honest in his reporting. He had integrity and character. He not only knew what Yahowah wanted, but he also spoke clearly to all who would listen. He talked the talk and walked the walk.
There are times when Yahowah defends Yahuwdah and contends with Yisra’el. He responds to their initiative toward Him. And fortunately, He is just, treating us fairly and consistently. Unfortunately, however, beyond His Son and the work of His Covenant Family, there hasn’t been much to commend these past 2,000 years.
Also revealing, Dowd’s concluding statement validates the point we have long known to be true: Dowd is living proof that the Towrah perfects the imperfect. It is through the Towrah that the wrong become right. Our fates will all be determined exactly the same way. It is by reading what Dowd has said and done that we discover how to be acquitted and vindicated. Moseh transcribed Yahowah’s plan of salvation and Dowd fulfilled it. He even wrote to us to explain what he would do and has done.
Inspired by God, Dowd announced for all to see that Yahowah has chosen to judge and save His people through His Son. And since Yahowah is the Author of the Towrah and Dowd is His most acclaimed student, we would do well to follow his lead and use Yahowah’s Guidance to come Home. It was Dowd, after all, who once bragged that Yahowah, Himself, couldn’t keep him out of Heaven because he was bringing the Towrah with him. I intend to follow his example.
If we do as Dowd did, study the Towrah and think our way to God, we will join him. When our perspective and approach, when our judgment and attitude, when our conclusions and responses are consistent with his, we will find ourselves in God’s presence.
143In his next statement, Dowd revealed something every religious and political, patriotic and conspiratorial institution and individual would be wise to consider. For God to come, they must go. To reestablish the conditions enjoyed in ‘Eden, everything which is harmful and troubling, invalid and improper, must be eradicated.
“Please (na – I beseech You, heightening the urgency and intensity of this request), the contemptible countryman who is harmful and troubling, invalid and appalling (ra’ – this wicked and wrong citizen who is improper, undesirable, malignant, and miserable), guilty of being incorrect and condemnable (rasha’ – of the unrighteous in conflict with the Towrah, the unjust and immoral, the wrong who will be condemned for his criminal behavior), he must be stopped and cease to exist (gamar – he must cease and actually and continually be proven inadequate and fail such that he desists, finished and existing no more (qal imperfect jussive third-person masculine singular)).
And then (wa) You can establish that which is enduring (kuwn – You can appoint and sustain, making ready and building, set up, and firmly secured (polel imperfect second-person masculine singular)) for those who are correct and acquitted (tsadaq – for those who are right, straightforward and honest, vindicated and cleared of all charges) and for those whose thinking and inclinations, thoughts and emotions, judgment and feelings (lebowth wa kilyahowth – hearts as the seat of judgment and kidneys as the seat of emotions) have been examined, assessed, tested and found genuine and true (wa bachan – have been proven valid using evidence and reason (qal participle)) by God who vindicates those who are right (‘elohym tsadyq – Mighty One who acquits the correct).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 7:9)
This is the two-step approach to salvation which applies to us individually and to the redemption of Yisra’el. 144The consequence of religion, and in particular, the deadly, destructive, and duplicitous legacies of Paul, Akiba, Muhammad, and Marx, must be stopped first and then eliminated. Once that is done, and there is no more Judaism, Christianity, Islam, or Libertards, then the 1,000-year celebration of Sukah on Earth can commence.
It is evident that Dowd has grown impatient. He wants Judaism and Christianity gone now, along with Islam and Progressives. Collectively, they are destroying his people and precluding their salvation.
He has also affirmed that those swept up in the excitement of his return, all at the last possible minute, will be tested for authenticity. Their hearts and minds, thinking and motivations will be assessed to determine if they are being genuine.
Time and time again we find Yahowah’s prophets revealing that we come to know God by being observant, by probing the evidence He has provided, by being rational and executing good judgment, and by recognizing that God is right…
“My defense and protection (magen ‘any – my protective shield and surrounding fortification, my all-around covering, even the gift of my protection) are before God (‘al ‘elohym – is from the Almighty), who delivers, liberates, and saves, removing from harm’s way (mowshya’ – who rescues and removes) the right-minded who correctly execute good judgment (yashar leb – the straightforward and upright, on the level, thinking properly and motivated appropriately).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:10)
This will come as an unpleasant surprise to Roman Catholics who have been deceived by conniving men, who have duped the faithful into believing that their Church will determine their fate. This will likewise come as an 145unwelcome realization to rabbinical Jews who act as if their religion will make them righteous.
And of course, anything and everything Yahowah says stupefies Muslims. Anyone sufficiently ignorant to believe that Muhammad (a pedophile, rapist, thief, and terrorist) was a prophet, and that his Quran (which is the dumbest book ever written) was inspired by God, deserves their fate.
But then again, if there were a religious test for stupidity, how dumb does one have to be to put their fate in a man who, by choosing a false messiah, caused his people to be crucified and enslaved in countless numbers, his land renamed, initiating the Diaspora? And yet, Akiba is the father of Rabbinic Judaism. And don’t get me started on the idiocy of Paul’s proposition that God inspired a man to contradict Him, nullify His Towrah, and replace His Son with a myth.
May I suggest that we all listen to Dowd instead? This is what he recognized by studying the Towrah…
“God (‘elohym) encourages judging and defending, adjudicating and deciding (shaphat – sentencing and vindicating, executing justice while exercising good judgment (qal participle)) correctly (tsadyq – accurately and appropriately, fairly and properly vindicating or sentencing by being just). Therefore (wa), God (‘el) angrily denounces, expressing His extreme indignation, and is furious (za’am – literally demonstrates His hostility and genuinely communicates His resentment, annoyance, and outrage (qal participle)) throughout time (kol yowm – every day and all day).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:11)
Based on what mankind has done and said, many more are going to be denounced than commended. After all, it’s Yahowah’s universe, and thus, it’s His decision what He wants to do with it. It’s God’s home, and He gets to decide who lives in it with Him. The Towrah is Yahowah’s too, 146making it the constitution His Witnesses will use when executing judgment.
That should be alarming for most because there is no accommodation for faith. Worse, every religious, political, patriotic, militaristic, multicultural, and conspiratorial individual will find that they have grieved and frustrated the Almighty, enjoining His extreme indignation.
Given everything we need to find Yahowah, to know and respect God, to live forever with our Heavenly Father, almost everyone has chosen religion over relationship, dependence upon government over-reliance on our emancipating Father, and belief over knowing. Mankind has given God a lot to hate and has done so for a very long time.
Considering all Father and Son have done to make our lives joyous, productive, and rewarding, it is tragic that so many have made God’s time around mankind so miserable. Of the 8 billion people on the planet, less than a thousand know and love Him while the rest either ignore the source of their existence or worship a false god in His stead.
Since God will be using His words to end life, just as He used them to conceive it, the following list of implements is figurative, symbolically painting word pictures to help us understand His approach toward the religious and political, the patriotic and militaristic, the conspiratorial and anti-Semitic.
“If (‘im) there is no change (lo’ shuwb – there is no return to the relationship), He will forge and sharpen (latish – He will hammer into shape) His chisel and sword (chereb huw’ – His cutting tools). His bow (qeshet huw’ – symbols of His power and influence) He has bent (darak – He has set out and taken aim (qal perfect)). He is ready for this (wa kuwn hy’ – He is prepared and will use it (piel imperfect)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:12)
147If Yah meant to say that His “chereb – chisel,” is being forged, then the criterion judging those who have opposed Him will be the Ten Statements He carved in stone. If Yah meant to say that His “chereb – cutting tools” are being prepared, then the stage is set for the religious to be eternally separated. And if God was suggesting that His “chereb – sword” was being sharpened, then the lives of His adversaries will be cut short.
If God intended to have qeshet describe a “bow,” it “darak – will be taken out and bent, then He will take aim” at all those who are hostile to His people and place. If His “qeshet – rainbow” is “darak – being shaped” such that the terms of the Covenant are being brought into play, only those who have accepted its conditions will be spared. And should Yah have used qeshet to describe “gathering sticks and straw,” those who are hostile to Him will be “darak – trampled down” upon His return.
There is a popular myth among religious Christians and Jews that either “Jesus” or a nameless Messiah is coming to save them. But none of that is true. Dowd fulfilled his purpose. Yahowah is returning with him, and they will be doing a lot more destroying than saving. Moreover, Christians and religious Jews will be among the first to experience His animosity because they have all negatively influenced God’s people.
A time is quickly approaching when God’s patience will have ended. He is going to restore the Earth to the conditions He intended such that they reflect ‘Eden. And this means that the religious will be removed with great prejudice. Those who have been indoctrinated to believe that their god is going to save them will be the first to go.
“He has prepared for Himself (wa la huw’ kuwn – He has fashioned and formed, developed and established, secured and proven, decided upon and has at the ready (hifil perfect)) weapons for the plague and implements 148of death (kaly maweth – equipment for the pestilence and vessels to contain the disease). His divisive missiles (chets huw’ – His arrows and flying weapons which are used to cut off and separate) perform (pa’al – carry out the mission (qal imperfect)) by kindling a blazing fire (la dalaq – by hotly pursuing with fire and incinerating).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:13)
This poetic language demonstrates that God is going to rid His world of all traces of man’s religious and political rubbish. The process will be by incineration – just as we burn trash to rid ourselves of its stench and prevent further contamination. This is consistent with a prophecy in Dabarym 29. It may also be a justifiable response to the Holocaust.
We have come to the place where there is no longer any question as to the identity of God’s most hated enemy. This Benjamite is Sha’uwl, whom Christians know as “the Apostle Paul.” He not only wrote 14 New Testament books (Galatians, 1&2 Corinthians, 1&2 Thessalonians, Romans, Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, Hebrews, Philemon, Titus, and 1&2 Timothy), he is the subject of Acts and he indoctrinated Luke, Mark and, through them, Matthew, such that the instigator became the Father of the world’s most popular religion.
We have reached a cathartic moment, a place of departure from which there is no return. We are now exposing and condemning the means the “Son of Wickedness,” Sha’uwl | Paul, used to annul the antidote for his plague of death. We are systematically uncovering what Paul had to say and write about Dowd, and then comparing it to what Yahowah revealed through His prophets, focusing upon what is the most important of all Mizmowr, the 89th.
“Pay attention (hineh – behold, look now and notice), he impoverishes through that which is extraordinarily 149evil, and he binds and controls by demanding a deceitful religious pledge (chabal ‘awen – using false testimony in the gestation of that which is appalling and ruinous, he (the Benjamite) destructively indebts, leading to broken promises and unfavorable circumstances because what he enthusiastically promotes is completely untrue and religiously idolatrous (piel imperfect third-person masculine singular – the object suffers the effect of what this one man has conceived with ongoing consequences)).
He has conceived and given birth to (harah – during his finite time, he gestates and has produced (qal perfect consecutive third-person masculine singular)) that which results in oppression and misery (‘amal – that which is unpleasant and wearisome, leading to subjugation, that which is laborious and financially restrictive, requiring grievous toil with no reward).
He became the Father (yalad – he fathered and gave birth to (qal – actually and literally, perfect – for a finite period of time, third-person masculine singular – pertaining to this one man)) of Lies (sheqer – a faith which is mistaken, misleading, and utterly false, and beliefs based upon vain futility and betrayal which have no value, use, merit, or reason for existing because he was a complete fraud).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:14)
From the beginning, every reference to this villain remains third-person masculine singular. Therefore, each additional statement continues to expose and condemn, warning the world about an exceptionally infamous and evil Benjamite wolf. Of those, there is but one who fathered a religion – Sha’uwl | Paul. This Benjamite adopted the Roman name, Paulos, and insidiously conceived the Christian religion on false pretenses. His primary ploy was to defraud Dowd, creating the pretense of credibility for the myth of Jesus Christ. In the process, he not only condemned billions of Gentiles, but he also turned the world against Jews. And let’s not forget, Paul all but 150destroyed Yahowah’s relationship with His people the past 2,000 years. He is the Plague of Death and the Father of Lies.
Paul abandoned, denounced, and annulled Yahowah’s Towrah, misappropriating its guidance while misrepresenting its teaching as “laws” – both of which were said to condemn rather than liberate. He negated Yahowah’s Covenant, errantly claiming that it enslaved. He even demeaned its conditions, stating that by agreeing to them a person could not be saved. Then, adding an extra pinch of evil, he demeaned and demonized Yahowah’s Chosen People. He replaced everything Yahowah advocated and loved with, “But I, Paul, say…” But worst of all, he annulled what Dowd said and did, deceitfully transferring his acclaim to his fictional account of “the Lord Jesus Christ.” This transfer became the basis of Replacement Theology and lies at the heart of the religion’s most debilitating and deadly deception.
In the Pauline diatribe, it’s not so much that the “Lord Jesus Christ” replaced Yahowah, it’s that he replaces Yahowah’s Messiah, God’s Son, and the Pesach ‘Ayil, Dowd. The resulting fictionalized “Jesus” would have but one “Apostle,” Sha’uwl, now Paul. He would require unquestioned submission to himself and to Rome. He would not tolerate a rival or different “Gospel” to his own. The man struck blind and lame by the light and voice he claimed he saw and heard on the road to Damascus would take the unsuspecting back into the Crucibles of Human Oppression by way of Babylon.
According to Paul, Dowd’s contribution to humankind would be reduced to a single sperm. And Dowd’s service as the Passover Lamb, of being the Messiah and King, was all negated and misappropriated in the most devious way – by misquoting God.
151If you believe that there is another, somehow unknown, Roman Benjamite, whose written and oral testimony earned this universal condemnation by God and His Son, you’d still have to deal with the fact that everything Paul wrote is in direct conflict with what God revealed, making one of the two a liar. And should you believe that the liar was God, not Paul, then you deserve your fate.
While Sha’uwl is destined to spend eternity in She’owl, and while I have no pity for the religious, political, and militaristic leaders he will take with him, my heart breaks for all they deceived. And yet, as we shall soon see, the ploy Paul used to deceive Christians is so readily obvious, it’s becoming difficult to remain compassionate toward those who don’t care enough about their own souls to invest the time needed to learn the truth.
Even here, should you not yet know enough to conclude that Dowd is assailing Paul, ask yourself: why would God inspire Dowd to write a Psalm against an unknown and unknowable enemy – and include His own condemnation in the process? What’s the point, if not to expose mankind’s deadliest and most anti-Semitic concoction?
Furthermore, how could Yahowah be the merciful and compassionate God Dowd claims Him to be if He didn’t warn His people about the enormous threat Sha’uwl | Paul would pose to their souls and wellbeing? After all, no other individual in all of human history has caused more harm to be perpetrated against the Chosen People than the wannabe Apostle Paul.
Speaking of the Roman Benjamite who sought to annul Yahowah’s Towrah and to superimpose himself over God’s Zarowa’ – Moseh and Dowd – with “but I, Paul, say...”
152“He has dug (karah – he has hewn out and has excavated through a spurious plot (qal perfect, third-person masculine singular)) a prison (bowr – a dungeon and pit), seeking to confuse and discredit through it (chaphar huw’ – looking to dishonor and confound with it, desiring to disgrace and bewilder (qal imperfect third-person masculine singular)).
So, it’s into (wa ba) the slime pit of corruption and decay (shachath – the dungeon or putrid decay) he has fashioned and devised (pa’al – he has plotted and planned, made and prepared (qal imperfect)) that he will fall as he is cast down (naphal – he will descend, falling prostrate, going to a lower dimension (qal imperfect)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:15)
Let’s never forget that Paul prevailed because he claimed Roman citizenship and turned both Romans and Greeks against Jews with devastating effects. Had he not done so, righteous Jews would have killed him after he brought uncircumcised gowym into the Temple as if it were his to desecrate. Paul’s Epistle on behalf of these same Romans not only establishes Pauline Doctrine, and thus the Christian religion within it, but after discrediting Dowd, Paul claims that the Beast’s government was ordained by his god and was a force for good, to which everyone must submit.
Imperial Rome, of which Paul claimed allegiance, was the most savage Beast to evolve out of Babylon and its Church, which Paul conceived, was presented as the final Monster, one that would tread upon, and thus oppress and subjugate, the entire world. For over a thousand years, the Roman Catholic (meaning Universal) Church lorded over, suppressed, and abused the masses, all while forcing Jews to live without rights or dignity in ghettos and shtetls.
This is the pit that Paul has dug for himself, the prison he fashioned to confuse gowym and discredit Yahowah and 153Yahuwdym, God’s Towrah and Covenant. Having conceived the institution that would force the Chosen People into slime pits of corruption and decay while torturing those who would speak out against the Church’s arrogance and the endorsement of heinous crimes in its dungeons with hideous implements, it’s time for retribution and accountability. That is the message of Mizmowr 7:15.
Let there be no doubt: Paul was fully aware that he was in league with Satan and in opposition to God – a conclusion which is irrefutable because he wrote it with his own hand. And God is going to hold him accountable. Sha’uwl is destined to She’owl and I hope to be one of many condemning him – along with his accomplices: Luke, Timothy, Peter, and Mark.
Throughout his putrid letters, this Roman Benjamite constantly bellyached about all of his trials and tribulations, the toilsome misery he endured to establish his Gospel. He went so far as to imagine things that never occurred, including that his personal sufferings somehow completed the job his “Jesus Christ” failed to accomplish. Therefore, Yahowah inspired Dowd to write…
“His toilsome misery (‘amal huw’ – his wearisome, unproductive, and unfulfilling experience, his troublesome effort to gain notoriety) will be turned back (shuwb – will return to (qal imperfect third-person masculine singular)) unto his head because he’s the source and beginning of such things (ba ro’sh huw’ – his own head as the start of this).
And (wa) upon (‘al) the crown of his head (qadqod huw’ – his scalp, skull), that which is wrong and destructive about him (hamas huw’ – his violent injustice, errant beliefs, and oppressive nature, along with his cruel demeanor and unrighteous nature) will be brought down upon him (yarad – will descend upon him).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:16)
154It all began with Paul’s conversion experience on the road to Damascus. Satan struck him blind and lame. He was demon-possessed, which became the source of his inspiration – the reason why everything he wrote was destructive and wrong. And along with Satan, Sha’uwl will descend into She’owl. The most nefarious and infamous man in human history, its most errant and destructive, the one who brought more toilsome misery upon Jews than anyone else, will be brought down, and his religion along with him.
As a result of fathering Christianity, Sha’uwl / Paul will wear the crown of destruction that Yisra’elites foolishly placed upon the head of King Sha’uwl. For having ripped the rightful crown off of Dowd’s head, Paul will wear the crown of errant beliefs. If I were not so repulsed by his stench, I would ask to put it there.
Paul is the epitome of evil. Dowd is the exemplar of virtue. And it is obvious…
“I will express my understanding, publicly thanking, while acknowledging the attributes of (yadah – I want to extol the virtues, admitting to the influence, showing my appreciation for; from yada’ – to reveal and know, to acknowledge and understand, to be familiar with and respect (hifil imperfect jussive)) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence) in a manner which is accurate and correct regarding Him (ka tsadaq huw’ – appropriately considering His righteousness, according to that which is right, honest and trustworthy, vindicating and acquitting, beneficial and just of Him).
I will choose to sing (wa zamar – I will put lyrics to melody, and accompanied by musical instruments, I will continuously and harmoniously verbalize my desire (piel cohortative imperfect)) to the name (shem – to the 155personal and proper designation) of Yahowah (Yahowah), the Most High (‘elyown – who exists above and beyond everything, awe-inspiring and splendorous, reigning supreme; from ‘alah – to raise and lift up).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 7:17)
Theirs is the greatest love story ever told, the most beautiful song ever sung. Dowd was right about Yahowah, and he loved God’s name. He was Yahowah’s most inspired, brilliant, and passionate witness. And he became our Savior.
It is the reason Yahowah loved him, the reason he became His beloved Son. It was for this reason that Dowd was anointed as Yahowah’s Messiah and chosen to be His people’s shepherd and king. This is what made Dowd the Branch and a prophet and qualified him to serve as the Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb. It is the reason he earned the right to judge the world.
Dowd was not only intolerant of Sha’uwl, he was prepared and ready to debate the imbecile who conceived the contrarian religion, promoting it over the relationship Yahowah intended. Knowing both men, when this occurs, right will obliterate wrong, with those of us in the Covenant, cheering for our leader.
At times, it may appear as if Dowd is bragging, but it is not hubris when it is true. More to the point, it would be the height of arrogance, indeed selfishness, to know these things, to have been given this authority, and to have kept all of it to himself.
I would like to jump ahead to the 103rd Mizmowr so that we get a better appreciation of what Yahowah meant to Dowd. Then when we are done, we will turn to the 89th 156Psalm to witness what Dowd meant to Yahowah.
The 103rd Mizmowr opens by revealing that it was written either for Dowd, to Dowd, concerning Dowd, or on the wisdom of approaching God’s beloved Son. It is enlightening and uplifting.
Coming home to Yahowah necessitates appreciating and accepting the essential role Dowd has played in the salvation of his people. He is the central figure in God’s story, the exemplar of Yisra’el and of the Covenant. He not only fulfilled the Mow’edym, but the benefits of the Miqra’ey are also more readily grasped when viewed in conjunction with his life and lyrics and especially Dowd’s Father-and-Son relationship with Yahowah.
Dowd is Yahowah’s most cherished and capable Mashyach, Melek, Ben, Bakowr, Zarowa’, Yasha’, Ra’ah, Tsemach, Tsyown, Gibowr, Gabry’el, Chasyd, Ga’al, and Naby’. As such, and consistent with the 89th Mizmowr, it’s wholly appropriate for God to devote Psalms to him. Theirs is the most important and beneficial relationship the world has ever known.
Dowd is the antidote for Judaism, the religion that denies what he has accomplished to save Jews from themselves. He is proof that the rabbis are wrong in claiming that only they can interpret the Torah. The Messiah and Son of God is also the antidote for Christianity, which purports that the Torah cannot save, while transferring everything said and accomplished by Dowd to their mythical misnomer, “Jesus.”
Yah’s songwriter is even the cure for the supposed enlightened ways of Multicultural and Socialist Progressive politics in that his rationale trumps all of their illusions. As such, the surest path to learning the truth and approaching God on His terms is through Dowd’s life and lyrics – words like these…
157“This is concerning Dowd (la Dowd – to the Beloved, of David, and approaching Dowd).
My soul (nepesh ‘any – my consciousness, the essential and living aspect of my persona which can be observant and responsive, and which conveys my personality, character, attributes, and experiences), you have chosen to appreciate and acclaim (barak – your desire is to commend and adore, being thankful for the goodness of, seeking and sharing the blessings and benefits of, while she extols and uplifts (piel imperative second-person feminine singular – the nepesh has chosen to engage Yahowah such that her blessings are reciprocated by)) the association with (‘eth) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration), along with all that is within me (wa kol qereb ‘any – every part of me) through and accompanied by (‘eth – with and according to) His set-apart (qodesh huw’) name (shem).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:1)
Dowd is known for being a determined fighter and passionate lover. He unified and enriched Yisra’el and was her greatest king. He was intellectual and emotional. He could wield words and a sword with equal aplomb. He was typically courageous, but he could be cowardly, too. He was right about God but often wrong about men. This spectrum is of the man seen through the words which shaped his initial life among his people. But that is not how God sees him or interacts with him. For Yahowah and, indeed, for Dowd, himself, it is his nepesh | soul which matters.
Our soul represents the essence of who we are. It is the operating system of our life. Moreover, it is the only part of us that can transcend our mortal existence. And since our nepesh, like Yahowah’s Ruwach, is feminine, this declaration, speaking for her, and the next were scribed in 158the second-person feminine singular. By doing so, Dowd is emphasizing the importance of his nepesh.
The nepesh | consciousness provides each of us the opportunity to be observant and responsive – and can do so in conjunction with man or God. And while this was as true for Dowd as it is for us – there is a monumental distinction. And that is because Yahowah was able to use Dowd’s nepesh | soul as a living probe for him to experience and fulfill Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym. Prior to, during, and most assuredly after the Chag Matsah sacrifice in 33 CE, the body his soul occupied went from nondescript to dispensable and then to nonexistent. All that mattered was that Dowd’s soul was deployed to serve his people at this time and in this manner.
Upon his upcoming arrival in 2033 CE to fulfill Kipurym and Sukah, Dowd’s soul will reside within a spiritual being. That isn’t to say that he will not have a physical body, but that his physicality will be at his discretion. He will be able to transform some of his spiritual energy into a diminished material form whenever a body is beneficial.
For the better part of 22 years, this was the aspect of the Miqra’ey fulfillment that I missed – although I was on the right track. I knew that the only way that Pesach and Matsah could be fulfilled was by deploying a nepesh as a probe so that it could be used like an avatar. Unwilling initially to accept the idea that Yahowah would use Dowd’s nepesh, I assumed that He had deployed His own. But that would have been out of character because Yahowah always advances His agenda through His Chosen People.
So, now we know better. The only way that all of the prophetic testimony fits is if the soul serving to fulfill Chag Matsah was Dowd’s. His name and titles are not only cited within every such prophecy, but no one else is ever mentioned. Dowd was not only Yahowah’s Firstborn, and 159thus the proper fit for Bikuwrym, he had ample motivation. He needed the respect that being the Passover Lamb engendered as much as his people and his Father needed him to serve them in this manner.
I was correct up to a point: it was obvious that Chag Matsah was fulfilled by the deployment of a nepesh | soul. And now, we know whose.
This association of Dowd’s soul and Yahowah’s Spirit became the most beneficial and rewarding collaboration in history. And it is not over. Phases One and Two are in the books, foretold, endured, and fulfilled, while his Third Coming remains a decade away at the time of this writing in 2023.
The Messiah has affirmed what we have come to realize: this was his choice and his decision. And as much as this was in Dowd’s interest, and in the interest of the Covenant Family, most of all his soul recognized that he would be doing something wonderful for the God who had done so much for him. Further, nothing Dowd has accomplished or will do would have amounted to a hill of beans if not accomplished in association with Yahowah. Said another way, while Dowd’s name is great among men, God’s name is infinitely greater.
There are very few things, and perhaps nothing, that Yahowah values more than us knowing and using His name. And nothing aggravates Him more than modifying or nullifying His name.
“My soul (nepesh ‘any – my consciousness, the essential and living aspect of my persona which can be observant and responsive, and which conveys my personality, character, attributes, and experiences), your desire is to commend and adore, being thankful for the benefit of sharing the blessings of (barak – you have chosen to appreciate and acclaim, while she extols and uplifts (piel imperative second-person feminine singular – 160the nepesh has chosen to engage Yahowah such that her blessings are reciprocated by)) the association with (‘eth) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration).
You will never overlook, ignore, or forget (wa ‘al shekach – you will never be unmindful of, fail to properly respond to, be remiss in mentioning, or ever forget (qal imperfect jussive second-person feminine singular)) any of His accomplishments and resulting benefits (kol gemuwl huw’ – everything He has done and the kindness He has shown).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:2)
While Dowd led the way, his experience with Yahowah should encourage the rest of us. The more devoted we are to serving Him, the more devoted He is to serving us. The more we accomplish the more we are rewarded. And with God, the benefits infinitely exceed our contribution. His plan offers the greatest return on investment. Dowd contributed more than anyone else and he is being compensated appropriately.
I am not suggesting something as utterly inane as the Christian “pick up your cross and follow me” nonsense. There would be no benefit, capacity, motivation, or purpose for any of us to attempt a second fulfillment of Pesach and Matsah. But we can serve to awaken his people such that they appreciate what he has accomplished.
Dowd’s association with Yahowah is multi-dimensional. It is intellectual and emotional, engaging and conversational, inspiring and pragmatic, enlightening and enriching. In his first life, he was a brilliant and receptive student studying under the perfect teacher. And everything he learned, he shared – never overlooking or omitting anything with respect to his life with Yah. Therefore, we can benefit from “kol gemuwl huw’ – everything He (Yah) 161has done and the kindness He has shown, all of His accomplishments and resulting benefits” in the same manner enjoyed by Yahowah’s most celebrated Son.
Dowd’s commitment to sharing everything he learned from and achieved with God over his lifetimes in the center of Yah’s universe makes him uniquely important to God and to us. When we read and respond to His testimony on behalf of Yahowah, we are rewarded. When we share it, we spread the wealth.
After letting us know exactly where his nepesh | soul stood in relation to Yahowah, Dowd posed a series of rhetorical questions which were designed to encourage us to come to the same conclusion: Yahowah’s collaboration with Dowd’s soul brought salvation to God’s people. And to be consistent, there was only one way for Father and Son to achieve this result, which was through the Towrah’s presentation of the Beryth and Miqra’ey. This remains true to this day, and that is what makes Dowd’s Songs so inspiring.
“Who (ha – indicating either that a question is being asked or the answer is being addressed and the source identified who) forgives, removing culpability from consideration, so as to pardon (salach – eliminates guilt (qal participle)) all of your errant thinking, wrongdoing, erroneous statements, and distorted opinions (la kol ‘awon ‘atah – everything you have twisted and perverted with your warped thinking, from all of your iniquity and depravity, the totality of your guilt and liability you have incurred, from all of the pain you’ve inflicted and damage you have done by being misled and misleading others, along with the punishment due).
And (wa – also [from 1QPs]) who promotes restoration (ha rapha’ – who heals the rift and mends what has been torn, curing and repairing (qal participle – serving as a literal and genuine verbal adjective, describing the 162action and the one carrying it out)) for everything which incapacitates and sickens you, all of your diseases and disabilities (la kol tachaluwym ‘atah – for every one of your ailments and impairments, all of your tormenting and grievous plagues, even all the rust and corrosion, filth and scum on you)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:3)
If it were not to reinforce the collaboration between Yahowah and Dowd’s nepesh | soul in our forgiveness and restoration, why do you suppose it was introduced this way? No matter the extent we credit our Father over His Son, Ruwach and nepesh worked together to achieve this result. And as it should be, the Father wants to regale him so that we appreciate His Son’s contribution while the Son wants to thank his Father for the opportunity and result.
While it is true that only Yahowah can prolong our mortality and perfect us, He did not do it alone. Yes, He could have wiped the slate slathered with our musings and mumblings clean, but only after we stop blabbering babel and then accept His antidote for the plague of religion. This necessitates capitalizing upon what God achieved by deploying Dowd’s soul to serve as the Pesach ‘Ayil and then to carry our errant ways and incapacitating infirmities to She’owl – thereby, removing them from us.
Regrettably, although it was a long time ago, and I have learned from my mistakes, I was once religious. I was also political, patriotic, and promilitary. As a vocal advocate of each, I was headed to an eternity of incarceration in She’owl. But fortunately, thirty years ago, I learned enough about these things to start questioning my affinity for each and then rejected them. It was only then, some years later on Taruw’ah in 2001, that God introduced Himself. He asked me, as He had Moseh long ago (although Moseh’s role was infinitely more vital than what He had in mind for me, but at this juncture with His people, nothing was more important to God), to do a difficult job. 163Mine was initially to expose and condemn Muhammad, Allah, the Quran, Hadith, and Islam – which may be the nastiest experience this side of Hell. But once this mission to expose Satan was accomplished to His satisfaction (read the five volumes of God Damn Religion if that mission is of interest to you), I became His student and He, my Teacher. While that is still the essence of our relationship, somewhere along the way I began to see everything God does as a collaboration. I was also getting to know and learning from Moseh, Shamuw’el, and Dowd, Yasha’yah, Yirmayah, and Yow’el. Working together, they equipped me to herald their message. And as a result, there are Covenant Family Members committed to educating and equipping others – all devoted to calling God’s people Home.
As a result of what Father and Son accomplished together for the Family’s benefit, we are pardoned and forgiven, such that there is no longer any consideration of our prior guilt. As errant as our ways may have been in the past, they have no influence on our future. Our relationship with Father and Son is restored. The contagious and crippling effects of religion and politics are removed, and the rift is mended.
“Who (ha – indicating either that a question is being asked or the answer is being addressed and the source identified who) is the kinsman Redeemer who delivers your life, the family member paying the price for you to live (ga’al chay ‘atah – is the related individual who facilitates your very existence and ability to remain alive, ransoming your life and buying you back from the unacceptable and defiling situation (qal participle – serving as a literal and genuine verbal adjective, graphically describing the action as the one carrying it out)) from the dungeonous slime pit of corruption (min shachath – out of the putrid prison of decay and decomposition associated with She’owl)?
164Who (ha – indicating either that a question is being asked or the answer is being addressed and the source identified who) envelops and crowns (‘atar ‘ath – surrounds and honors, encompasses, and covers (piel participle)) you (‘atah) in loyal love, steadfast devotion, and unfailing kindness (chesed – in affection, favor, and all that is good) in addition to compassion and mercy (wa rachamym – strong feelings and an enduring commitment to abiding adoration along with a reprieve from judgment)?” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:4)
The one and only Ga’al | Kinsman Redeemer is Dowd. It is a realization his people have either ignored or denied for the past 2,000 years – since the impetus of Judaism.
The Ga’al, by the simple fact that he is kin, part of the same family, is a man, not God. And so, while Yahowah made it possible for Dowd to ransom his people, the Son paid the price to free the Covenant Family from She’owl by having gone there in our stead. Everyone who enjoys prolonged life in the Covenant Family is beholden to our Messiah and King for having made the sacrifice to provide it.
I understand that, as obvious as Father and Son have stated that they worked together to provide the benefits of the Beryth through the Mow’edym, so many errant claims have been thrown in our faces that it was easy to overlook. But where have the rabbis been all of this time? How is it that a gowy without theological training was able to affirm what hundreds of thousands missed – especially when the answer is ha Mashyach and the consequence is salvation? Perhaps the answer is in the question.
When Pesach and Matsah lead to Bikuwrym as a result of the Bakowr, we are adopted into the Covenant Family. As a result, we become royalty – replete with crowns. Even beyond the royal trappings, our Sovereign surrounds us in His love by enveloping us in His light, encompassing us 165within His Set-Apart Spirit. This Garment of Light is what makes us perfect in God’s eyes because where there is light, there is no darkness. As light, the Spirit doesn’t cover over our flaws and failings but, instead, eliminates them.
It is but a shadow among the brilliance being conveyed, but this is prophetic because Dowd’s soul was actually placed in a lightless dungeon during UnYeasted Bread to free us from She’owl. He did so by carrying and then depositing our guilt within this black hole, never to be seen again.
As a result of reading about and accepting what they accomplished during Chag Matsah, I find my relationship with Father and Son “saba’ – abundantly satisfying.” I appreciate all they have done for all of us.
“Who (ha – indicating either that a question is being asked or the answer is being addressed and the source identified who) abundantly satisfies (saba’ – provides overwhelming contentment and satisfaction, fulfilling the vow to enrich and empower (hifil participle)) with that which is beneficial and good, highly desirable for you, beautifully adorning you (ba ha towb ‘ady ‘ath – with ornamentation that removes unsightliness so that you are pleasing and acceptable)?
She, on her own initiative, restores and renews (chadash – she, on her own recognizance, making an independent decision, rehabilitates and reconciles such that the relationship is affirmed and reestablished (hitpael imperfect third-person feminine singular)), becoming similar to (ka – like) the soaring eagle (ha nesher) of your youth (na’uwrym – as you become children who are forever young, celebrating your early life and childhood).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:5)
We are afforded an interesting choice regarding the identity of the feminine restoring influence, but not regarding the object of her restoration. Even if unnoticed 166by almost everyone, ‘ath | you throughout this Mizmowr is feminine, addressing our souls and, on occasion, perhaps Dowd’s own. However, this time, redemption is not from slavery nor is healing from a disease which affects the body. It is our souls that are being ransomed and restored. But by whom?
The subject of Dowd’s initial statements had been his soul while ours served as the object. Since our nepesh remains the entity satisfied by being beautifully adorned and restored such that we are like young children with wings, the subject making this happen continues to be Dowd’s soul. And for her to splendidly adorn our souls, making us highly desirable, while causing us to be reborn spiritually as young children with wings, Dowd’s nepesh is getting a significant assist from Yahowah’s Ruwach | Spirit. This understood, there is no getting around that Yahowah inspired Dowd to write that his nepesh is to be credited with providing benefits I had heretofore ascribed to the Ruwach Qodesh | Set-Apart Spirit. And therefore, this is an exceedingly forthright affirmation that our conclusions regarding the role Dowd’s soul played in our salvation are correct – indeed, unassailable.
Our Heavenly Father, Spiritual Mother, and their Bakowr are committed to providing the children of the Covenant with everything we could ever want. This begins with restoring and renewing our souls, enriching and empowering us after perfecting and adopting us so that we, as God’s children, can soar as if we had the wings of eagles.
One of the many things we have come to know and love about Yah is His propensity to be fair, to consistently do what is right so that we can always trust Him. The standard by which Dowd was deemed right applies to all of us, including God, Himself.
“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – 167teaching regarding His hayah existence and our shalowm – restoration) does what is right, engaging honestly and fairly (‘asah tsadaqah – acts appropriately, honorably, and correctly, working justly, productively, and beneficially so as to vindicate (qal participle masculine singular)), showing good judgment in executing justice (wa mishpat – appropriately resolving disputes while making informed and rational decisions) on behalf of (la – to approach) all who are unjustly exploited, defrauded, and deceived (kol ‘ashaq – everyone egregiously mistreated, treacherously extorted, cheated, disadvantaged, ill-treated, wronged, and oppressed).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:6)
This is to say that Yahowah engaged to support His Son’s fulfillment of Chag Matsah in a manner which was predictable because He is trustworthy and dependable. This means that the Mow’edym, as fulfilled by Dowd’s nepesh and supported by Yahowah’s Ruwach are just, fairly and appropriately resolving our guilt.
And while this is good news for those who had previously been deceived and defrauded, indeed exploited under the oppressive and controlling influence of religion, the perpetrators who have made merchandise of men will be held accountable. The Messiah’s return will be a bad day for rabbis.
Yahowah did not, however, say that He was going to save everyone who has been abused, only that He would show good judgment in executing justice and be fair. This means that He will hold those who mistreated and extorted the politically subjugated, the religiously misled, militarily oppressed, or economically enslaved, responsible. He isn’t going to let the perpetrators go unpunished. Said another way, while the souls of those victimized simply fade away, the perpetrators will be sent away, enduring an eternity in She’owl.
168By exacting retribution upon those who have harmed His people, Yahowah is being just and fair, even correct and compassionate, providing a sense of closure and comfort for those whose souls will fade away. They deserve justice, knowing that those who misled and misused them will be punished for these crimes.
We know this, as did Dowd, because we are Towrah-observant. It is the place through which we must all walk if our ambition is to know God. Dowd, as one ra’ah, naby’, and zarowa’ to another, said…
“He made known (yada’ – He revealed, acknowledged, and made us aware such that we could become familiar, disclosing to encourage understanding (hifil imperfect)) His ways (derek huw’) to Moseh (la Mosheh – to the one who draws out) through His interactions (‘alylah huw’ – His actions and deeds, His practices and achievements, His effectiveness and engagements, His works) with the Children of Yisra’el (la beny Yisra’el).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:7)
Without what Yahowah achieved and communicated through Moseh, Dowd’s lyrics, lives, and sacrifices are meaningless. And without Dowd’s sacrifices, the Towrah is filled with empty promises. Together, they are synergistic.
When Dowd’s nepesh is seen enabling the Beryth by fulfilling the Miqra’ey as portrayed by Moseh, nothing is more important or beneficial. The standard by which Dowd was tsadaq | considered right and vindicated and the path which he followed are both found in the Towrah of Moseh. And that is to say, God’s directions are not found in either the Talmud or the New Testament. If you are looking for God’s way, throw away the religious books and read what Yahowah inspired Moseh to teach the Children of Yisra’el.
169Dowd understood this interconnection because he was Towrah-observant. His 119th Mizmowr / Psalm reveals how and why we should do as he had done, making it, second only to the Towrah of Moseh, the most important document ever written. If you’d like to read what its author had to say, you’ll find it in the concluding volume of An Introduction to God. There, one of the many things that you’ll discover is what the King of Yisra’el has just revealed: Yahowah engages and interacts with Yisra’el. They, as the Chosen People, are the descendants of Ya’aqob and natural heirs to the Covenant. They were liberated by Yahowah and given the Promised Land, and they will be reconciled with Him again upon His return on Yowm Kipurym. God’s focus has been and will continue to be on His people: Yisra’el. That is never going to change.
Moseh, whose character was exemplary and intellect sublime, was the most perfect man in God’s story. He was a joy for Yahowah to work with when liberating His people from human religious and political oppression. However, the Children of Yisra’el were just the opposite, neither bright nor pleasant. And in this way, Yisra’el became the prime example of what not to do or say around God. If it were not for the fact that Yahowah is all of the following, He would have given up on them.
“Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation) is compassionate (rachuwm – has strong feelings and an enduring commitment to abiding adoration for those He’s offering a reprieve from judgment) and merciful (wa chanuwn – is inclined to bestow favorable treatment and provide unearned benefits along with generous blessings, being gracious), longsuffering and loyal, slow to anger (‘arek ‘aph – able to endure that which is resentful and displeasing in the 170relationship for a long time), and abounding in love, overwhelmingly kind, and steadfastly loyal (wa rab chesed – and abundantly generous, offering tremendous assistance and rewards to those in a relationship with Him).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:8)
God would have to be this way to put up with the Children of Yisra’el. For most of the past 4,000 years they have been in an extended time out for bad behavior. And most are no better today. Yahowah wants to love them if only they would get out of their own way and allow it. And that is why this statement, including rachuwm, chanuwn, and chesed, along with the unique modification of ‘aph, is so profoundly important.
The purpose of the Towrah is to introduce us to the Beryth and then explain how we can become part of it by attending the Miqra’ey. Those who follow this path will find Yahowah to be exactly as Dowd has just described Him – compassionate and merciful, longsuffering and loyal, overwhelmingly kind to those He favors with His love. Those who see Him differently, don’t know Him.
Our Father is magnanimous. No matter how fast and furiously we strive to contribute, He always gives us far more than we can provide. It is His nature to celebrate what we do together such that He moves Heaven and Earth for those He loves and who love Him in return.
For an endearing and enduring relationship to work, we must come to a place where we enjoy our partner’s positive attributes while overlooking, or at least deemphasizing, their less than desirable proclivities. That is exactly what Yahowah does for those in the Covenant relationship. For example, we know from how Yahowah interacted with Dowd that he could be a handful at times. And yet, he contributed mightily, ultimately saving his people from themselves. And in this way, in the imperfections of his life and the perfection of Moseh’s 171inspired testimony, he became the living embodiment of Mizmowr 103.
The Messiah was aware that he had lost his people’s respect for having made a series of poor decisions. On one occasion, the King sent ‘Uwryah | Uriah, a Covenant member, to his death in battle so that he could take his wife, Bathsheba. And while Yahowah overlooked most of His Son’s less-than-admirable decisions, this was too much even for Yah to bear. As a result, Dowd experienced a time out, a period when Yah stopped speaking directly to him. The solution in Dowd’s mind, and the best way to redeem his reputation with the Children of Yisra’el, was by serving as the Passover Lamb.
Therefore, while this was an accurate expression of Yahowah’s nature, time is running out. The persistent propensity of Yahuwdym to disrespect and irritate Yahowah and the preference of Gowym to ignore Him in favor of false gods must end for the Covenant Family to return to Gan ‘Eden. Our Father cannot continually quarrel with His children.
“He will not continually quarrel with someone (lo’ la netsah ryb – He will not subject His preeminence to unending arguments, always contending in hostile opposition, continuing to endure the taunts and insults (qal imperfect)) nor will He eternally (wa la ‘owlam) serve as a frustrated caretaker (natar – tend to those who displease Him, maintaining the status quo as a disappointed and irritated observer, bearing resentment (qal imperfect)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:9)
Even though it will get far worse before it gets much better, the time of quarreling is nearly over. Yahowah has no interest in, or motivation to, subject His preeminence to an unending stream of contentious arguments or subject His magnificent character to insults. Depending on whether you wish to be removed from or endure the Time of 172Ya’aqob’s Troubles, you have until Shabuw’ah in 2026 at the latest to make the Harvest or hope that by Taruw’ah and Kipurym in 2033 you will be able to resolve your conflicts with God. When Yahowah returns with Dowd, neither will serve as “natar – frustrated caretakers over irritants clinging to the status quo.” Eternity is a celebration of Family without foes.
Earlier, the rhetorical questions Dowd posed were presented in the second-person feminine, but now he has returned to first-person plural and is making statements which would include all Covenant members…
“It’s not according to (lo’ ka – not based upon or consistent with) the ways we are misled and misleading, incurring guilt (chata’ ‘anachnuw – our antagonistic actions) that He acts and engages with us (‘asah la ‘anachnuw – that He made us or works something out with us (qal perfect)), or according to our errant thinking, erroneous statements, or invalid opinions (lo’ ka ‘awon ‘anachnuw – or our twisting the truth with our inaccurate beliefs, or based upon our perversions) that He deals with us (gamal ‘al ‘anachnuw – that He rears us or repays us (qal perfect)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:10)
It is the nature of religion to define how their god supposedly interacts with men and women. But the God who created them begs to differ. Yahowah’s response will be incongruous with religious edicts.
If you want to know how God is going to engage when He returns, read the Towrah and Naby’. What you’ll find is that very few souls will meet the criteria He has established – and none among them will be religious or overtly political.
God is going to deal with us, not based on what we have said or done but, instead, predicated upon what He has said and what His Son has done. To capitalize, accept the conditions of the Beryth and attend the Miqra’ey.
173Dowd’s next three sentences tell the story of God’s love for His children and what Father and Son have done and will do to keep us together. They speak of love beyond our comprehension, and mercy so far-reaching that our rebellious nature becomes as distant as light is from darkness, as seven dimensions are from three, and as different as the sun is from the black hole of She’owl.
“Indeed, for (ky) just as (ka – similar to, comparatively) the heavens and spiritual realm are elevated in scale and dimensions beyond our comprehension (gabah shamaym – the universe is bigger than we can envision, towering), above and beyond the material realm (‘al ha ‘erets – over the Earth), so too is His steadfast and enduring love, His unfailing generosity, and mercy (chesed huw’ – His magnanimous nature, unmitigated affection, and overwhelming desire to favor with benefits) toward those who respect and revere Him (‘al yare’ huw’ – for those who appreciate His astonishing character and awesome nature). (Mizmowr / Psalm 103:11)
As far as (ka rachaq – as distant and removed as) the sunrise in the east where its increasing light is from (mizrach min – the direction of the rising sun) the setting sun in the west where darkness follows (ma’arab – the sunset with increasing darkness), so far removed from us (rachaq min ‘anachnuw – equally distant from us) are our revolting and rebellious behaviors (‘eth pesha’ ‘anachnuw – is that part of us which has been contrary to the way and in defiance of the standard).” (Mizmowr / Psalm 103:12)
As a father (ka ‘ab – consistent with the way a parent, especially a dad) shows tender affection and genuine love (racham – is kind and generous, favoring and having compassion (piel infinitive)) for children (‘al benym), Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – 174teaching regarding His hayah existence) genuinely loves and overtly favors (racham – is compassionate and merciful, generous and forgiving toward (piel perfect)) those who respect Him (‘al yare’ huw’ – those who revere Him).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:13)
Here and elsewhere Dowd insinuates that he was cognizant that there were dimensions beyond his frame of reference and that the spiritual realm was four magnitudes beyond the three he had experienced. This perspective on light and dimensionality goes a long way to explain who we are in relationship to God and what He’s going to do to mitigate our differences. Dowd also understood that light is the best way to resolve the darkness in our lives, because in its presence, mankind’s unenlightened machinations cease to exist, and we not only appear perfect but are perfect.
While Dowd’s Mashal are presented as parental advice, throughout the Mizmowr, Yahowah is typically referenced by name or referred to as “‘elohym – God.” But here, He is presented as our “Father” because it best describes the kind of love He is offering those who come to Him through the lives and lyrics of His Beloved.
One of the many reasons Yahowah is so proud of Dowd, indeed enamored with him, is because he was one of us, a mere mortal, who figured it out. If he could, we can – especially since Father and Son shared how this was possible – enabling us to follow in his footsteps.
For Dowd to have correctly ascertained God’s Grand Plan of Reunification, with only the Towrah and his conversations with his Father available to inspire him, was genius. Looking back on it, I can see how he came to his conclusions. It is likely that the conversation narrated by Nathan | the Gift about homes and children, about a Father and His Son, and the lives they would live together to restore the relationship with their people as recorded in 2 175Shamuw’el 7, got him started in the right direction. I can also envision how, knowing that he was God’s Son, Dowd came to see himself as the ram being offered on Mowryah to affirm the Covenant. But Dowd didn’t just figure it out, he volunteered to carry it out. That makes his determination and contribution the greatest discovery and achievement in human history.
And yet, even with the evidence now portrayed throughout the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr, it would be 3,000 years before the Grand Plan of Reunification would be known again. And while better late than never, and better one than none, time is now in short supply. The overtly political and ridiculously religious are poised to devour Yahuwdym and Yisra’el to foreclose access to this opportunity.
I’m often told by those who are too preoccupied or lazy to search for Yahowah through His words that they would have responded even more positively had God done for them what He did for Noach or ‘Abraham, for Moseh and the Children of Yisra’el, even for Dowd felling the giant with a single stone. My reply is always the same: we have been offered far more than any of them.
We have access to the entirety of the Towrah, Naby’, wa Mizmowr along with the tools to translate and study Yah’s testimony. We have the advantage of seeing the entire spectrum of history, from creation to the birth pangs preceding the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, and can, therefore, compare what Yah said to what has occurred and thereby prove His existence and validate His inspiration.
“It is for certain (ky – without question) He is cognizant of (yada’ – He is aware of and knows, He acknowledges and understands (qal perfect)) our inclinations and frame of reference, even the purpose for which we were created (yetser ‘anachnuw – our dimensional limitations and attributes, especially our 176ability to think and reason, our motivations and desires, our wants and needs, and of what and why we were formed), remembering that we are indeed (zakar – recalling and keeping in mind that) quite literally comprised of naturally occurring earthen matter (‘aphar – of small, fine, insignificant particles, like the powdery dust of the Earth).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:14)
God is energy and we are matter. Since the latter came from the former, we should not be surprised that they are actually the same thing – with our relative capacity being all that separates us. This is vividly explained by Albert Einstein’s equation, E=mc2 – in which matter must be multiplied by the square of the speed of light 2.99 x 108 meters/second, thereby differentiating our capabilities by a factor of 89,874,044,000,000,000 to 1. This extreme equivalence lies at the core of what God has promised to do: enrich, empower, and enlighten us. Aware of this difference, Yahowah has calibrated our interactions such that He values what we get right much more than He gets frustrated by what we get wrong. I suspect that this is what Dowd was suggesting when he wrote that God was slow to anger and especially longsuffering with regard to His children.
With these insights shared for our enrichment, we are now confronted with something quite remarkable. Just as Dowd quoted his 22nd Mizmowr to explain why the Spirit had abandoned him as he was fulfilling Passover as the Sacrificial Lamb, we are now coming to the realization that Yahowah drew inspiration from Dowd when he answered Yasha’yah’s question in the midst of His prophetic portrayal encouraging us to get ready for His return. Specifically, Yahowah paraphrased Psalm 103:15-16 in the midst of what is now Yasha’yah 40, when providing a comparison between the fleeting nature of man’s accomplishments and the enduring character of His Word.
177While we do not know if Yasha’yah quoted from Dowd’s Mizmowr in recognition that Yahowah had inspired them both or if the repetition found in Yasha’yah 40 is the result of Yahowah inspiring His prophet to reaffirm the lyrics His beloved Son had written three hundred years earlier, Yahowah clearly quoted Dowd. And if the lyrics of Dowd’s songs are good enough for God, they are more than sufficient for us.
“Mortal man’s (‘enowsh – human beings’) days (yowmym huw’ – duration and time) are like (ka – can be compared to) an abode of dried grass (chasyr – dwelling like brown hay, needing water to live and grow).
Like (ka – similar to) the flowery nature of an engraved plaque on a shining memorial (tsyts – an ornamental trophy which blossoms with a beautifully written inscription or dedication memorializing some achievement) in the open and broad way (ha sadeh – of the way which is spread out far and wide), it, therefore, reflects the light and the scene around it (ken yatsyts – it can give the impression of being brilliant and even flourish for a while, blossoming so as to appear awesome and grand, glistening like the reflection in a mirror). (Mizmowr / Psalm 103:15)
Yet truthfully, when (ky – indeed, surely as) the Spirit (ruwach – the feminine and maternal aspect of Yahowah’s nature) passes over it (‘abar ba huw’ – extends Herself from the Source toward it), then it is no more (wa ‘ayn huw’ – it is gone such that it no longer exists) and its place (wa maqowm huw’ – its location and locale, its homes and offices, its orientations and habitats) is no longer recognizable nor remembered (lo’ nakar huw’ ‘owd – are not considered or acknowledged because they were mistaken and thus worthless, as these pretenders are forever without merit or value (hifil imperfect energic nun)).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:16)
178Yahowah gave us our mortal lives, freewill, a conscience, and the opportunity to know Him. While marvelous, our lives are fleeting, especially when focused on personal achievements and when they do nothing more than reflect the world around us.
This depiction is of man’s most cherished memorials, the flowery engraved plaques placed upon the graves of the dearly departed and upon trophies commemorating seminal achievements. To be gone is to be forgotten. And that is the way it must be for those who move on to live happily ever after. To be anguished over the loss of loved ones, or be tormented by mankind’s hellacious abusive conduct, would take the joy out of living. We will, therefore, remember the beautiful and forget the unpleasant.
There will, however, be some constants as we turn the page from mortal to immortal. Yah’s enduring love, our continuing respect, His commitment to doing what is right, and our devotion to the Covenant Family, are among them. Closely examining and carefully considering the directions Yahowah has provided regarding the terms and conditions of His Covenant, and responding appropriately, will be something we will all share.
“But (wa) the steadfast and enduring love, the unfailing generosity and mercy (chesed – the magnanimous nature, unmitigated affection, and overwhelming desire to favor, lavishing with benefits) of Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions) is forever and ever, enduring eternally and without end (min ‘owlam ‘ad ‘owlam – is everlasting and perpetual) for those who respect and revere Him (‘al yare’ huw’ – enabling those who appreciate His awesomeness to draw near) with His vindication and righteousness (tsadaqah huw’ – His commitment to doing what is correct and acquitting, honest and fair, beneficial and prosperous, both just and right) on behalf of His 179children’s children (la ben ben) (Mizmowr 103:17) for those who observe (la shamar – approaching those who closely examine and carefully consider, focusing upon and thinking about) His Covenant (beryth huw’ – His Family-Oriented Relationship, His household and home, His familial agreement and contract, His binding oath and promise) and who remember (wa la zakar – who are mindful) to act upon and engage in (la ‘asah hem – carrying out and putting into effect (qal infinitive construct)) His directions and instructions (piquwdym huw’ – His written records and advice, His precepts, procedures, and principles, His values and philosophy, and especially the guidance regarding His terms and conditions).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:18)
Since God is unchanging, the nature of our relationship with Him is determined by our willingness to be observant and responsive – similar to a nakar | observant and responsive foreigner who becomes family. It is the only way for us to know who Yahowah is, what He is offering, and what He expects in return. The purpose of life and our highest calling is to be among the few who, like Dowd, figure it out so that we can be part of His Covenant Family.
For this to occur, we must come to realize that Yah’s mercy and enduring love is directed toward those who come to know Him by name, toward those who respect who He is and what He has said and done, and toward those who seek to be right about Him such that they can appreciate and accept the conditions of the Covenant.
Before I was able to process the implications of Dowd’s role in fulfilling the opening and concluding Mow’edym as the living embodiment of the Covenant, I struggled to understand why the Messiah didn’t enumerate and explain the purpose of each of the Covenant’s five requirements or elaborate on the benefits. Why didn’t he reveal the symbolism behind each of the seven Miqra’ey or 180emphatically state their specific purpose? There is no discussion on how they are interrelated and serve the purpose of the Grand Plan of Reunification. But then, I realized that this was Moseh’s role, not Dowd’s. Moseh wrote about them while Dowd lived them. Moseh’s words and Dowd’s lives explain them.
Dowd’s unique role was to model and enable the relationship our Heavenly Father intended. His life and sacrifice speak louder than words.
And while Dowd spoke vociferously of his Father and the Covenant, he only correlated the events on God’s timeline he would fulfill – doing so in Daniel 9 as Gabry’el. Since Dowd’s inspiration and intelligence are well beyond ours, this disparity in what we have come to share deserves a thoughtful explanation.
But what if the answer is that Yahowah didn’t want His plan enumerated and summarized – at least before now when that explanation is vital to His plan? What if He preferred revealing everything we would need to know to figure it all out without handing the answers to us on a silver platter?
If that is the reason Dowd didn’t share what I have delineated, then perhaps, I have gone too far in making participation in the Covenant too easy. And should that be the case, then I’m guilty of providing too many insights such that undesirable individuals might sneak in and spoil eternity. Or was the disparity between Moseh’s and Dowd’s insights and my attempt at full disclosure simply a matter of timing? Although, considering Yisra’el’s response thus far, the former does not seem to be a problem.
Had it not been for five things, I would have withdrawn my enumeration and summarization of the conditions and benefits of the Covenant. I might also have withheld their interrelationship with the Miqra’ey, and how 181these events play out in time – thereby ascribing dates to the fulfillment of Shabuw’ah, Taruw’ah, Kipurym, and Sukah.
First, and foremost, among the reasons for full disclosure is the realization that since Yahowah’s testimony is irrefutable, my conclusions, based upon a rational analysis of it, were assured to be sound. Right is right – and that is all He asks of us. It is what made Dowd, dowd.
Second, I have never actually comprised a summary of Yah’s plan, nor have I considered simplifying His message. As someone who is enamored with Yah’s Word, I am obviously more verbose than trite. So, I don’t think that I’ve made it too easy. Consider the YadaYah.com site as evidence. With 33 books on the shelf, it’s more commonly seen as overwhelming and intimidating rather than simplistic.
Third, most of the many thousands of insights I have derived from Yah’s Word are unique in the sense that rather than building off of what other men have discerned, I have been inspired by the One who inspired the prophets. Not only are these many thousands of profoundly important revelations consistent with Yah’s nature, they resonate within those of us who know Him. And so why would God make it possible for me to see what others had missed if He did not want me to share what I discerned from His testimony with His people?
Fourth, since I was the first to comprehend and explain the role Yahowah’s Dowd Ben | Beloved Son, Bakowr | Firstborn, ha Mashyach | the Anointed Messiah, Mizmowr Naby’ | Lyricist and Prophet, Melek | King and Counselor, Tsemach | Branch, Ra’ah | Shepherd, Zarowa’ | Sacrificial Lamb, and Kaph | Hand played in fulfilling the Mow’edym to provide the benefits of the Beryth since Dowd revealed and Yasha’yah affirmed this, it would have been selfish to 182keep it a secret. Moreover, this knowledge is essential to the mission of calling Yisra’el and Yahuwdah back home.
Fifth, the affirmation that I am doing what Yahowah wants was reinforced a hundred times over with the prophetic pronouncements regarding Yada | One Who Knows, the Basar | Herald, Nakry | Observant and Responsive Foreigner, Qowl | Voice, ‘Edah | Witness, Mal’ak | Messenger, Zarowa’ | Sower of Seed, Choter | Sucker and Secondary Branch, and Nes | Sign which is being lifted up. The confirmations have been emphatic and prolific from Moseh to Mal’aky. Therefore, it is a matter of different roles for different times.
So, while I have enumerated and explained what Moseh, Dowd, and Yasha’yah have made possible for us to know and then capitalize upon, my hope is that I have made the journey sufficiently challenging to deter those dulled by religion and yet accessible to the Chosen People whom Yahowah is calling Home. If you are Yisra’el or Yahuwd, the intellect that stirred Dowd to be the most articulate man in human history has been passed on to you genetically such that you have the capacity to read and appreciate what I am sharing.
Here is yet another example of ha Mashyach’s brilliance. This statement can be read as an ode to Dowd’s Father or as an acclamation of his Father’s appreciation for His Son’s service…
“Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of the name of ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching) has prepared and established (kuwn – formed, fashioned, and supports (hifil perfect)) H/his throne (kise’ huw’ – H/his place of authority and seat of honor) in the spiritual realm of the heavens (ba ha shamaym) with H/his sovereign realm (wa malkuwth huw’ – H/his authority, power, and influence) serving as a proverb, revealing what H/he and it is like by drawing pictures 183with words (mashal – communicating by way of visual and verbal comparisons to reveal who has ultimate dominion (qal perfect)) in everything (ba ha kol – and everywhere).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:19)
While it is true that Yahowah has established His seat of authority in the spiritual realm, since it is in His nature to share everything with us, Dowd will sit there. After all, the most vivid pictures of life in Heaven and the Kingdom of Dowd were painted by the author of the Mashal / Proverbs. Therefore, this could have been written with a lowercase “his,” thereby making it consistent with other prophecies that portray Yahowah eternally establishing Dowd’s royal reign. And the fact that it can be read both ways is evidence of mutual respect, demonstrating how Yahowah intends to raise His children within the Spiritual Realm.
Painting pictures with words is something at which Dowd was particularly adept, as was his Father. And often, it is the only way to convey what we cannot actually see from our current perspective. Heaven is a perfect example. Using terms common to our three-dimensional material existence, Yahowah’s prophets have tried to describe its spectacular appearance. But frankly, it’s well beyond our current comprehension, as far removed from what we can perceive as three dimensions are from seven.
That being the case, Yahowah has shared something that can help us visualize the unseen. Aspects of the Garden of ‘Eden were modeled after Heaven. Consider what happened there, especially the interactions between Yahowah and ‘Adam, and then expand the boundaries of that Garden to the size of the universe – 93 billion light-years in diameter. This provides a glimpse of what we will experience camping out with Yahowah and other Covenant members throughout time and space. We will still be guided by His words, even His towrah | teachings which will then be integrated within us. We will still observe the 184Shabat and attend the Miqra’ey, celebrating both as they were intended. But we will no longer have to endure any form of religion or politics, lies or liars, abuse or abusers.
Just as we are afforded the option of assigning Heaven’s throne and kingdom to Yahowah or Dowd, the mal’ak and gibowr in this next statement could represent heavenly implements or people. However, since Dowd would have had no influence over the spiritual realm at this time, it’s far more likely that he was addressing the most aware of Yahowah’s human Witnesses – and in particular, the Gibowr associated with the presentation of this Mizmowr and engaged in the process of enlightening His wayward children.
“His Mal’ak | Messenger and Witnesses (mal’aky huw’ – His envoys and representative, His ambassadors and spokesman dispatched and deputized to do His bidding), you should choose to convey your support for the benefit and blessings of (barak – of your own freewill, extol the marvelous nature, while communicating the many positive things associated with (piel imperative second-person masculine plural – an expression of second-person volition, whereby the object is the beneficiary of the subject’s choice to engage in a constructive verbal exchange over)) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence).
His Gibowr | Most Courageous and Capable Men (gibowrey huw’ – those who fight valiantly and prominently for Him, His most impactful leaders and influential individuals), those with the ability, authority, and acuity (koach – those with the potential, resources, resolve, aptitude, strengths, determination, and empowerment), should act upon (‘asah – should engage, go to work, and carry out, making known by performing as specified, expending the energy to bring about and effect (qal participle)) His Word (dabar huw’) by actually 185listening (la shama’ – by hearing (qal infinitive)) through the voice conveying the audible sound (ba qowl) of His message (dabar huw’ – His word, statement, account, and speech).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to Sing / Psalm 103:20)
Leading by example, Dowd was Yahowah’s most accomplished mal’ak and acclaimed gibowr. Speaking to those who would follow in his footsteps, God’s exceedingly prolific messenger and overtly courageous man encouraged us to devote our lives to conveying the benefits associated with being around Yahowah, extolling His virtues while affirming our support. Those who have been blessed with the koach | acuity and aptitude, the resources and resolve, engage on God’s behalf after listening to the voice proclaiming His message.
I’ve been doing this to the extent I’m capable, using the resources at my disposal and with Yahowah’s support since Taruw’ah in 2001. And while I was never alone, it has been a delight to experience the many ways Yahowah has found to contribute, such that we are effective and productive in accomplishing His goals. So we are a team, united Family Members devoting our lives to awaken God’s people. That said, while Yahowah has a host of spiritual mal’ak, human messengers who are also gibowr are few and far between. To fill out His quota of three, Yahowah is recycling one for the third time (Dowd), another (‘ElYah) from 2,900 years ago, and the third (Yada) from the ranks of the gowym.
It is certain that Yahowah’s Mal’ak | Messengers and Witnesses and His Gibowr | Courageous and Capable Men will continue to be blessed with the koach | determination to prevail. Our strength, confidence, and fortitude to work with Father and Son comes from listening to their message and responding accordingly.
As has been the case with Dowd’s previous two statements, we can identify these Tsaba’ with the Heavenly 186Host or conclude that Dowd is now addressing a broader spectrum of the Covenant Family – calling them to action. Since one would be out of Dowd’s jurisdiction and of no value to those reading his Song, I’m certain that the Messiah is speaking to those serving in the best interests of Yahowah and His People. Actually, I know many such individuals. They go by the names of Leah, Jacki, Dee, and Molly, David, Kirk, Mike, JK, Todd, and Joe.
“Every one of His Tsaba’ | Supporters Serving Him, the willing conscripts who have been mustered and sent out to assist fighting for the cause (kol tsaba’ huw’ – all who desire to project His influence, protect His interests, who go forth to fight His foes, including all who act on His behalf by carrying out His instructions), you should choose to convey your support for the blessings and benefit of (barak – of your own freewill, extol the marvelous nature, while communicating the positive things associated with (piel imperative second-person masculine plural)) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence).
Those rendering assistance and serving Him (sharath huw’ – those performing a service and ministering in His interests, attending to what pertains to Him (piel participle)) engage to accomplish (‘asah – act to benefit from, laboring and performing based upon (qal participle)) His will (ratsown huw’ – His desire, His wishes, and what pleases Him, with His approval and acceptance). (Mizmowr 103:21)
All of His Ma’aseh | Workers accomplish His purpose (kol ma’aseh huw’ – everyone who labors on His behalf, expending energy and resources to pursue His agenda does what He wants done). You should choose to convey your support for the benefit of (barak – of your own freewill, extol the marvelous nature, while communicating the blessings and benefits associated with 187(piel imperative second-person masculine plural)) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence) in all of the places (ba kol maqowm – in every home, dwelling place, site, and direction) His influence is felt and His Mashal | Word Pictures are considered (memshalah huw’ – He is prominent, understood, and distinguished, communicating by way of His visual and verbal comparisons to reveal He has ultimate dominion; from mah – to ponder the implications of mashal – proverbs, parables, similitudes, and metaphors conveying ethical wisdom).
My soul (nepesh ‘any – my consciousness, the essential and living aspect of my persona which can be observant and responsive, and which conveys my personality, character, attributes, and experiences) commends and adores (barak – you have chosen to appreciate and acclaim, to be thankful for the goodness of, seeking to enjoy and share the blessings and benefits (piel imperative second-person feminine singular)) its association with (‘eth) Yahowah (Yahowah – an accurate transliteration of the name of ‘elowah – God guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence and our shalowm – reconciliation).” (Mizmowr / Lyrics to be Sung / Psalm 103:22)
An accomplished speaker, such as Dowd, will tell their audience what they are going to tell them, they will tell them, and then they will remind them what they told them. Dowd introduced and concluded this Psalm explaining the service his nepesh would provide in conjunction with his Father, Yahowah. And at the end of this Mizmowr, he revealed how we can help him achieve his decision to serve his people and God in this way.
No matter what Dowd has done, regardless of the merit of the sacrifice, irrespective of his bravery and compassion, if his fulfillments of Pesach, Matsah, Bikuwrym, and 188Kipurym are not heralded, no one benefits. As powerful and capable as are our Father and His Son, they are still reliant upon capable witnesses and supportive coworkers to convey the message of the Beryth and Miqra’ey to Yisra’el and Yahuwdym.
One of Yah’s most strident criticisms of mankind is that very few of us are aware of what He and His Son have attained on our behalf. The scope of their work is so seldom considered that if you were to ask random individuals to list their important accomplishments, most would not recognize either name, and the few who might would be clueless as to what Yahowah and Dowd have achieved – or why it is relevant to them. And that is ironic because those who seek to worship God and who claim to know Him, haven’t invested the time to listen to anything He has to say.
By contrast, Dowd’s words resonate throughout time because he came to know before he professed his admiration. He was right, true, and genuine, even appreciated, where the faithful are not. He did his part, and now, it is time for us to do ours.
If the places were considerable where Yahowah was clearly known and if His influence was felt by many, what a wonderful world it would be! It is, therefore, our mission to share the story of Father and Son with those interested in investing the time to read these books. This is a life well lived.
Yahowah gave us our mortal existence, freewill, a conscience, and the opportunity to know Him. While marvelous, our lives are fleeting, especially when focused on personal achievements.
Therefore, the perspective being conveyed is that even man’s most cherished memorials, the flowery engraved plaques placed upon the graves of the dearly departed and upon trophies commemorating seminal achievements, will 189not stir memory or sentiment.
This known, Dowd did not write, and we should not speak, to the world at large. There is no reason to strain our voices or dissipate our effect. We, and that would include, Dowd, Yahowah, and His prophets, seek to convey His testimony to receptive ears and open minds.
