Kipurym | Reconciliations

 

Best Day Ever…

The most interesting and important day in the long march of time since the universe was created is Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations in year 6000 Yah – beginning at sunset in Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance Regarding Reconciliation on October 2^nd, 2033. The more we learn about it and the events leading to its fulfillment, the more effective we become as witnesses. But beyond this, we will come to appreciate Yahowah’s long ordeal with His people from the perspective of their joyous reunion.

These will be cathartic years. As we now know, the world changed in ways we could not have imagined in January 2020 with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the international deprivation of peoples’ liberties and livelihoods, destroying currencies, supply chains, and economies in the process. Anti-Semitism is sweeping the globe, with shrill voices insisting upon the “Two-State Solution.” And this was followed by America’s ill-conceived proxy war with Russia in Ukraine. It will serve to divide the world with the forced divestiture of Israel for peace serving as the impetus for World War III, just as Neville Chamberlain’s surrender of Czechoslovakia to the Nazis led to the Second World War.

The years following 2026, and especially between 2030 and 2033 will be horrific, beyond our current comprehension, as mankind devolves toward the abyss. At the end of it, there will be a light for some and eternal 139darkness for others. The decisions you make now with the information which has been made available to you will determine the outcome of your soul.

From one breath to the next, we go from the sons of the anointed standing before Yahowah, to this…

“Then I turned (wa shuwb) and lifted my eyes (wa nasa’ ‘ayn ‘any) and saw (wa ra’ah), right there (hineh), a flying (‘uwph) scroll (magilah). (Zakaryah 5:1)

He said to me (wa ‘amar ‘el ‘any), ‘What do you see (mah ‘atah ra’ah)?’

I answered (wa ‘amar), ‘I see (ra’ah) a flying (‘uwph) scroll (magilah). Its length (‘orek hy’) is twenty cubits, which is 30 feet (‘eserym ba ha ‘amah – 9.1 meters), and its width was ten cubits, or 15 feet (wa rochab hy’ ‘eser ba ha ‘amah).’ (Zakaryah 5:2)

He said to me (wa ‘amar ‘el ‘any), ‘This is the consequence of breaking the binding agreement (zo’th ha ‘alah – this is the curse of Alah, and the sanctions, for having invoked this recompense of God) which extends (yatsa’ – which is brought forth) over the face of the entire Earth `(‘al paneh kol ha ‘erets).

This is because (ky) everyone (kol) who takes away from this or deceives regarding it (ha ganab min zeh kamow huw’ – who removes any aspect of what it says or what it offers the rightful owners by trying to outwit the heirs or cheat them out of their Father’s Garden; from gan – garden and ‘ab – Father) will be banished and forced to endure eternity elsewhere (naqah), while everyone (wa kol) who swears an oath of allegiance (shaba’) will also be swept away and banished (min zeh naqah – and forced to endure elsewhere, cut off and purged from the living). (Zakaryah 5:3)

‘I will contribute to it and extend it (yatsa’ hy’ – I will bring out the scroll),’ prophetically declares (na’um) 140Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the vast array of spiritual messengers (tsaba’).

‘Then (wa), it will come upon the house (bow’ ‘el beyth – it will pursue the home) of the deceiver and thief (ganab – the one attempting to remove some aspect of it or steal the heir’s inheritance) and the house (wa ‘el beyth) of the one who swears an oath of allegiance (shaba’) in My name or using My reputation (ba shem ‘any) which is deceptive or misleading (sheqer – which is false or mistaken, untrue or wrong).

Then it will remain in the midst of his house (wa lyn ba tawek beyth huw’) and consume it (wa kalah huw’ – completely destroy it such that it ceases to exist), from the timbers to the stones (‘eth ‘ets huw’ wa ‘eth ‘eben huw’).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 5:4)

Therefore, coterminous with the arrival of the two Witnesses, Yahowah’s Towrah will be revealed for all to see – and read. There will be no excuses. Passing God’s test ought not be difficult because it remains an open book.

That said, we should expect deplorable results. God’s word will be no more popular then than it is now. Most will lash out against it, degrading and demeaning it. Many will seek to negate its promises to God’s people. Others, like New Testament Christians and Talmud-toting Jews will claim that they have changed it. And by so doing, they will deserve the consequence.

The United Nations will, no doubt, call the scroll a violation of international law and denounce Yahowah’s occupation of the skies above Al-Haram al-Sharif. Haredi rabbis will insist that HaShem is in violation of the Talmud for having entered the sacred Temple Mount without the requisite approvals and the ashes of a red heifer. Christians will call it a sign of the Apocalypse and blame the Antichrist for the affront to their faith. Jordan will lodge a formal complaint, insisting that the site is under Hashemite 141control and God is changing the status quo. And at the very least, we should expect 100,000 screaming Progressives to block access to the Mount, adamant that the scroll is undemocratic.

Each week that it flies in the skies above the city, the Jerusalem Post will publish a popularity poll, contending that if elections were held today, G-d would lack the votes to form a coalition. The High Court will, of course, forbid it, as unreasonable. Elsewhere, someone will protest that its presence is exasperating climate change. And the Conspiratorialists will shriek that it is a nefarious Jewish plot to control the world by eradicating Gentiles. So at least someone will be partially right.

The two Witnesses will find it reassuring, as will those who listen to them. So, it will have its intended effect. It will inspire those worth knowing and leave those who prefer religion and politics without excuse.

Early on, Yahowah told all who would listen that those who curse Yisra’el will be cursed in return. This is God doing what He has promised.

It is telling with nearly two billion Muslims hell-bent on killing Jews while invading Yisra’el that they will be cursed as a result of their belief in Allah. Having reordered the Quran chronologically, then having set it into the context of Muhammad’s life as was revealed in the Hadith, I was able to prove that Allah is Satan, making this consequence all the more apropos.

The key points here are that we should expect a literal fulfillment of these prophecies. And thus, with the arrival of the two Witnesses on Passover in 2030, an enormous copy of the Towrah will be unfurled for all to see. At this time, everything will become black and white, with more dramatic indications of the Covenant’s benefits along with the implementation of the curses imposed against the anti-Semitic.

142Up to this point, there have been three potential outcomes for human souls; life with Yahowah, eternity in She’owl, or death – with these souls ceasing to exist. At this point, it appears that there will be no middle ground. Everyone will be deemed to be with Yahowah and His people or against them. As such, anyone who attempts to discount the Towrah or misappropriate what belongs to Yisra’el will be banished to an eternity in She’owl. The cost of dishonesty now, especially regarding Yahowah, will be a long stay in Hell.

The timing of up-or-down and no-in-between seems to coincide with the arrival of the two witnesses and the unfurling of the Towrah. And it is telling that the Word of God will literally consume those who deceive. There will be nothing left.

The Word of Yahowah will not be acting alone. The Branch is returning – and he is the most amazing individual to have ever walked the Earth. His name is Dowd | David. He is the Son of God, His Chosen One and Firstborn, God’s Shepherd, Messiah, and King – in addition to being our Savior.

Addressing the cleansed and restored High Priest, Yahowsha’ ben Yahowtsadyq, God asks Zakaryah to…

“Say to him (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’ la ‘amar), ‘Thus says Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the heavenly helpers (tsaba’), communicating (la ‘amar), “Behold (hineh – look now and see), the individual (‘ysh – the man) who is known as (shem huw’ – who is named) Tsemach | the Branch (Tsemach – Growth) will branch out and grow in his place (wa min tachath huw’ tsamach) and he will build at that moment in time (wa banah – he will reconstruct for the family name) the Residence and Temple (hykal – the sanctuary and palace) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH).”’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:12)

143And so, it will be. Dowd | David will have the great honor of overseeing the construction of Yahowah’s Residence on Earth upon his return. The man who has been known as the Tsemach | Branch will once again become the catalyst for our growth.

While we have seen it before, it is still a bit startling to see Yahowah refer to someone from the House of Yahuwdah serving and adorned as a kohen | priest. But if there ever was an individual suited to do it all, it is Dowd.

This is how we will see him upon his return…

“He will build (banah) the Royal Residence (‘eth hekal – the Temple) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH) while his authority and countenance (howd – honor and glory) are lifted up and upheld (nasa’ – is raised and sustained).

Then (wa) he will sit and remain (yashab – he will settle upon and stay) upon his throne (‘al kise’ huw’ – upon his seat of honor and authority) and he will govern with symbolic narratives (mashal – he will rule through proverbs, showing leadership by explaining things in a memorable way by making the kind of comparisons that lead to understanding).

Additionally (wa), he will be (hayah – he will exist at that moment in time (qal perfect)) dressed as a priest (kohen – adorned in priestly garments while serving as a minister facilitating our ability to comprehend the Mow’ed) upon his seat of honor (‘al kise’ huw’ – on his throne).

Advice and counsel (‘etsah – guidance and instruction on the proper course of action, teaching and direction regarding the plan and its purpose will be presented wisely) on peace and prosperity, satisfaction and contentment, the blessings of reconciliation and freedom (shalowm) will exist (hayah) to encourage understanding by making the connections between 144both of these responsibilities (bayn shanaym hem).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:13)

Yahowah is such a great Dad. More than anything, His Son wanted to build a Home for his Father. He had acquired Mount Mowryah, including the threshing floor of what is known as the Temple Mount, and he had stockpiled the materials. The King’s longing to build God’s House precipitated the impassioned exchange between the Beloved (Dowd), the Gift (Nathan), and God presented so dramatically in 2 Shamuw’el 7. It is that prophetic portrayal of a Father’s love for His Son that served as the impetus to attract the Choter | Productive Sucker and inspire everything which would follow.

Over the ensuing twenty-two years we have come to behold and lift up the howd | countenance and authority of Dowd as the Mashyach and Zarowa’. We have witnessed his special place with Yah, coming to appreciate the honor and glory the Father is affording His Son based upon all he has said and done. The first prophecy translated for Yada Yahowah in Shamuw’el / He Listens to God / 2 Samuel 7 still guides our steps along the way.

I will never forget the moment. I was pacing in the log cabin I had built along a picturesque whitewater stream, the Jumping Branch, meandering through the woods within my Virginia farm. I had just returned from surviving a meeting with Islamic jihadists in Israel and was attempting to share that experience in Tea with Terrorists. It was as if a limb from one of the towering red and white oaks (‘alah in Hebrew) had hit me square in the head as the wind stirred outside the cabin on this cool spring day. No matter which Bible I queried, every translation of 2 Samuel 7 was wrong. And it was then and there that my quest to know the truth, to understand what God actually revealed, began. Twenty-two years have passed and now you are reading the result: Yada Yahowah.

145After having translated Shamuw’el / He Listens to God / 2 Samuel 7 eight times, I am excited to read about its fulfillment in Zakaryah’s presentation of the events surrounding Yowm Kipurym. I am happy for Yahowah and thrilled for Dowd, even personally fulfilled to be sharing this witness of their reunion. It is as if I am witnessing the birth of Yada and the conception of Yada Yahowah from the vantage point of where it has all led – to Dowd building Yahowah’s Home and then reigning as king.

Yes, Yahowah’s promises to His Son will be honored. The Tsemach | Branch has grown. His purpose has been upheld, but it is far from ending. The author of the Mashal | Proverbs will govern through them – sharing their parental advice. Dowd will continue to lead through his lyrics. His ongoing narratives will serve to explain the things of God and the universe in such a way that we will be able to make the kind of comparisons which lead to understanding.

It is so Yahowah to dress His Son in white linen, in the garments He designed for the priests, the very attire we considered in Zakaryah 3. It is why that story was presented immediately before the revelation of the witnesses and now leads to this affirmation.

Yahowah has upended the religious interpretation of using someone else to represent Dowd. Clearly, it is Dowd whom Yahowah has chosen to perform as His Towrah instructs approaching the Kaporeth | Mercy Seat on Kipurym | Reconciliations on behalf of Yisra’el. That is what this is announcing…“Say to him [Yahowsha’] (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’ la ‘amar), ‘Thus says Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the heavenly messengers (tsaba’), by communicating (la ‘amar), “Behold, look now and see (hineh), the individual (‘ysh) who is known as and is named (shem huw’) Tsemach | the Branch (Tsemach) will branch out and grow in his place (wa min tachath huw’ tsamach), and he will build at that moment in time (wa banah) the Royal Residence and Temple (hykal) of 146Yahowah (YaHoWaH).”’” (Zakaryah 6:12) It is as heartwarming as it is hilarious.

And that is why we find the Messiah and King “dressed as a priest (kohen – adorned in priestly garments while serving as a minister facilitating our ability to comprehend the Mow’ed) upon his seat of honor (‘al kise’ huw’ – on his throne).” Moments like these, with insights like this, are worth celebrating.

Now if I may share another profound insight. The reason Yahowah told Dowd that he would not be permitted to build the initial Home of Yahowah is because, “The Word of Yahowah came to me, saying, ‘A great amount of blood you have poured out as you have fought great battles. So, you will not build this House for My name because of the abundance of the blood you have shed in the Land in My presence. Behold, a son shall be born to you who will be a man of repose and relative ease…for Shalowm | Solomon shall be his name. Shalowm in a more favorable circumstance I will give to Yisra’el in this day.’” (1 Chronicles 22:8-9)

With blood on his hands as a result of defending Yisra’el from par, sa’yr, chata’th, and pasha’, let’s bayn | make a thoughtful connection to what will occur on Yowm Kipurym. Remember what we were told that the “alternate,” or “stand-in,” would do to facilitate reconciliation? “‘Aharown (‘Aharown – the Alternative) should approach (qarab) with the bull (ba par – representing that which is broken and frustrating because it is in violation of the agreement and divisive) for being wrong and having missed the way (ha chata’th) for his benefit (‘asher la huw’) and for the purpose of reconciliation (wa kaphar – making atonement) through this for himself (ba’ad huw’) and for his house and family (wa ba’ad beyth huw’). He should take the life of the bull (wa shachat ‘eth par) as the resolution for having been wrong (ha chata’th) for his benefit (‘asher 147la huw’). (Qara’ 16:11) And he should obtain (wa laqach) some of the blood of the bull (min dam ha par) and sprinkle it (wa nazah) with his finger (ba ‘etsba’ huw’) on the face (‘al paneh) of the Mercy Seat (ha Kaporeth) on the eastern side (qedem – the beginning of a new day). Then toward the front (wa la paneh) of the Mercy Seat (ha Kaporeth – the Place of Reconciliation), he should sprinkle (nazah) some of the blood (min dam) with his finger (ba ‘etsba’ huw’) seven times (sheba’ pa’am – to uphold the promise in the conduct of life). (Qara’ 16:14)

Next, he should prepare the goat (wa shachat ‘eth sa’yr – striking out at that which is stubborn and annoying) to provide the means to resolve iniquity and pardon sin for going astray (ha chata’th) for the benefit (‘asher) of the people (la ha ‘am) and return (wa bow’) with its blood (‘eth dam huw’) toward the House (la min beyth) and through the curtain (la ha pharoketh) and do (wa ‘asah – act, engaging accordingly) with its blood (‘eth dam huw’) as he did with the blood of the bull (ka ‘asher ‘asah la dam ha par), sprinkling it (nazah ‘eth huw’) upon the Mercy Seat (‘al Kaporeth – over the Place of Atonement and Reconciliation) and toward the front (la paneh) of the Mercy Seat (ha Kaporeth). (Qara’ 16:15)

Thereby (wa) he shall provide reconciliation (kaphar) upon the Set-Apart place (‘al ha Qodesh) as a result of (min) the impurity and filthiness (tuma’ah – the foreign residue and offensive immoral nature) of the Children of Yisra’el (beny Yisra’el), and as a result of (wa min) their religious rebellion and political defiance (pesha’ hem), it will be resolved along with the realization that they have been totally wrong and have all wandered away (la kol chata’th hem).

Therefore (wa ken), he should act accordingly, doing this (‘asah) to approach (la) the shining and clear tent (‘ohel) of the eternal witness and restoring testimony of the appointed meeting (mow’ed) which is 148inhabited and abides (ha shakan) with them in the midst (‘eth hem ba tawek) of their impurity and filthiness (tuma’ah hem).’” (Qara’ / Leviticus 16:16)

‘Aharown and Yahowsha’ would be symbolic of what Yahowah will have Dowd do for his people on this day. He will act in accordance with the Towrah to reconcile the relationship with Yisra’el and Yahuwdah via the Kaporeth on Kipurym leading to Sukah. And now we know why blood would be sprinkled on the Mercy Seat, why it would come from a par and a sa’yr and not the Passover ‘ayl, and why it would occur on Kipurym, not Pesach.

Thereafter, Dowd’s role will continue as it has always been…

“Advice and counsel (‘etsah – guidance and instruction on the proper course of action, teaching and direction regarding the plan and its purpose, will be presented wisely) on peace and prosperity, satisfaction and contentment, the blessings of reconciliation and freedom (shalowm) will exist (hayah) to encourage understanding by making the connections between both of these responsibilities (bayn shanaym hem).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:13)

Shalowm, indeed. We find the future where we began. This all ties right back into Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7.

“It came to pass when the king sat down and relaxed in his home, because Yahowah had given him comforting respite from his adversaries, (7:1) that the king said to Nathan, the prophet, ‘Please look around. I live in a house of cedar, but the Ark of God sits within curtains.’ (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:2)

So, Nathan said to the king, ‘Choose to go and do all that is in your best judgment for Yahowah.’ (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:3)

149But then that evening, it came to be that the word of Yahowah came to Nathan. He conveyed, (7:4) ‘Go and tell Dowd, My coworker, that this is what Yahowah says. “Why should you build Me a home to live in? (7:5)

Indeed, I have not lived in any house since the time that I lifted the Children of Yisra’el out of the crucibles of oppression in Mitsraym, even to this day. I have existed going about in a tent dwelling. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:6)

Anywhere along the way, that I have journeyed with the Children of Yisra’el, did I say a single word to any of the tribes of Yisra’el, My people, Yisra’el, whom I fed, asking, ‘Why not build Me a house of cedar?’ (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:7)

Therefore, say to My associate, Dowd, this is what Yahowah of the spiritual implements says, “I took you from the sheepfolds, from chasing after lambs, to be the leader over My People, over Yisra’el. (7:8)

And I have been with you wherever you traveled. I have cut off all of your enemies, removing them from your sight, and I have made your name great, comparable to the names of the greatest on earth. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:9)

Furthermore, I will appoint a place for My People, Yisra’el. And I will plant them there such that they may dwell in this place of their own and never have to move again. Neither shall the Son of Evil afflict them any more as will have been the case. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:10)

And since the time that I instructed the Judges in conjunction with My People, Yisra’el, I have created for you a respite from all of your enemies.’ Moreover, Yahowah is boldly and publicly announcing for you 150that, indeed, He will act, engaging with you to create a family and home. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:11)

When you will have laid down your life (wa shakab) in association with your ancestors (‘eth ‘ab ‘atah), I will rise up and take a stand (quwm) to bring to fruition what you have sown (zera’) without hesitating nor delaying (‘achar) your approach to providing the way to the benefits of the relationship (‘asher).

This shall be extracted and withdrawn, then delivered out of (yatsa’ min) a small particle of your physiological nature (ma’ah).

And so (wa) I will establish (kuwn) his reign over his kingdom (‘eth mamlakah huw’).’” (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:12)

Now speaking to us of Dowd, Yahowah continues…

“‘He, himself, shall reestablish and restore a home for My name. And I will fashion and form the place of honor of his kingdom as an eternal witness forever. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:13)

I, Myself, will be a Father for him and he shall be My son. So, when that which is perverted and twisted is associated with him, I will correctly reciprocate and argue on his behalf, deciding with him to chastise with the scepter of this man, and by assaulting so as to end the lives of the children of ‘Adam. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:14)

Then My steadfast love and enduring mercy shall not be taken away from him in the manner that I rejected it being associated with Sha’uwl, whom, to show the way to the benefits of the relationship, I removed, abolishing before your appearance. (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:15)

Moreover, your house will remain established, verified, and true and your kingdom and reign will exist 151forever as an eternal witness in association with My presence.

Your throne and place of honor shall exist and be established forevermore.’ (Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 7:16)

Consistent with all of these words and everything within this revelation, Nathan correctly conveyed them to Dowd.” (Shamuw’el / Listen to Him / 2 Samuel 7:17)

One prophecy flows into the other, all leading us to the same place: Yahowah’s return with His Son and our Savior on Yowm Kipurym. And as with Dowd, to a significant degree, so too with all of the Covenant’s Family. It is an honor to be invited into their company. It is glorious to see Yada Yahowah in such magnificent company…

“And the crown (wa ha ‘atarah – the symbol of status) has always been and will continually exist (hayah – shall always be (qal imperfect)) for the purpose of Chelem | Being Restored (la Chalam) through Towbyah | Yah’s Goodness (wa la Towb Yah) by Yada Yahowah | by Knowing and Understanding Yahowah (wa la Yada’ Yahowah), in order to Chen | Receive Mercy (wa la Chen) as a Yahowtsaphan | Child who Treasures Yahowah – valuing what He has hidden for us to discover (ben Tsaphanyah), especially as a way to memorialize the inheritance right and commemorate the symbolism (la zikarown) associated with the Royal Residence and Temple (ba hekal) of Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH – existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:14)

Zakaryah was no doubt aware of the implications of what he had just revealed. He would have drawn these same connections, and he would have smiled in appreciation of being afforded the opportunity to share this with us 2,500 years in advance of it transpiring.

152And that is why he wrote:

“So those who are currently alienated and distant (wa rachowq – those who are far away in the distant future) shall come and return (bow’ – will be included). And they will help build (wa banah – they will reconstruct) the Royal Residence and Temple (ba hekal) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH). And then you will know (wa yada’ – you will realize and acknowledge) that, indeed (ky), Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’) has sent me (shalach ‘any).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 6:15)

There is nothing quite like a fulfilled prophecy to affirm a prophet’s credentials. And on this occasion, the Covenant’s children will get to work right alongside the Son of God building the Royal Residence. Dowd’s dream will become our reality. This moment shared between Father and Son will be enjoyed by the entire Family.

The religious and political will not have considered what we have read, and they will not have listened to God. Speaking of those who have perished estranged from the Covenant, our Creator reveals…

“But they resisted and refused to listen (wa ma’an la qashab – they would not pay attention, accept the advice, or respond to it). They gave the gift (wa nathan) a defiant and obstinate shoulder (katheph sarar – a stubborn and rebellious stiff arm as if they were in charge).

Their ears became heavy (wa ‘ozen hem kebed) and they would not listen (min shama’). (Zakaryah 7:11) They caused (sym) their hearts (wa leb hem – their judgment) to be as hard as diamonds (shamyr), such that they were kept from hearing (min shama’) the Towrah | Teaching and Guidance (Towrah – Source of Instructions and Directions) or the words (wa ‘eth ha dabar) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), Yahowah of the heavenly messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’) sent 153(shalach) by His Spirit (Ruwach huw’) through the hand (ba yad) of the former prophets (naby’ ha ri’shown – the first and foremost prophets).

Therefore (wa), great animosity and frustration (qetseph gadowl – tremendous antagonism and discord) came to exist (hayah) from (min) Yahowah of the spiritual implements (YaHoWaH tsaba’). (Zakaryah 7:12)

‘It came to be (wa hayah) that when I called out, offering an invitation (ka ‘asher – when I, for the benefit of the relationship, issued a summons or provided an announcement), they would not listen (wa lo’ shama’). Therefore, when (wa ken) they called out (qara’ – they issued a summons), I did not listen (wa lo’ shama’),’ says (‘amar) Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 7:13)

For the past twenty-two years, usually six and seven days a week, ten to twelve hours a day, I have listened to Yahowah. In all of that time, other than to ask a question or seek elucidation, I have not spoken to Him. Our relationship works best when He teaches and I learn. Then after listening intensely, and thinking comprehensively, I speak profusely – but to my fellow man. Yahowah knows what I need and what I am thinking. We have a marvelous relationship because He can read my thoughts and share my enthusiasm when we come upon something in His Word that He wrote just for us to find it and share it. Perhaps one day that will change once I am further enlightened as a witness or as a son.

It isn’t that I don’t have something to contribute, or that I have nothing to say – in fact, quite the opposite. It is just that our relationship is enriched and empowered when I am a good listener because He is the best Teacher. And 154there is so much to share, so much God’s people need to know, and so little time, let’s do what we can while we can.

Having shared this before, it rings especially true at this moment. To some extent, I was offered this job by default. The Chosen People refused to listen. Yisra’el and Yahuwdah turned their backs on Yahowah’s gift – the testimony He conveyed in His Towrah and through His Prophets. Even now, the words Yahowah’s Spirit has enabled the Choter to scribe fall on deaf ears and hardened hearts.

One of the most telling distinctions between someone conveying the revelation of Yahowah and a false prophet is the means of conveyance. An actual prophet writes down what Yahowah is revealing while he is listening to God speak to him. While a false prophet – such as Paul, Mark, Luke, Matthew, Akiba, or Muhammad – recounts what they have heard or what they have conveyed audibly. As such, it becomes their message, not Yahowah’s.

It is true, once a week, on the approach of the Shabat, I speak about the Towrah. But even then, I am sharing these written translations and associated insights. Our message, like that of the prophets, is in writing. That way you can learn at your own pace. The translations are more easily verified. The message is more broadly disseminated. And it will endure, even after I am gone. Moreover, I like the distinction of having my comments and insights shared in a regular font, while Yahowah’s words stand apart as they are in bold.

The conclusion of Zakaryah 7:13 is hard to read. We should be sad for God and for His people. And yet based upon the unwillingness of Yisra’el to hear what He has to say, Yahowah has turned a deaf ear toward His people. They have antagonized Him and He is frustrated, but fortunately for both parties, this is resolvable. Start listening. When you hear Yahowah’s invitation, respond.

155Fortunately, many will do so. As a result…

“Thus says (koh ‘amar) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence), ‘I will return and restore (shuwb – I will come back and renew) Tsyown | the Signs Posted Along the Way (‘el Tsyown – to the ridgeline of Mowryah between Dowd’s and Yahowah’s Homes) and will live and remain (wa shakan – I will dwell and abide, staying) in the midst of Yaruwshalaim (ba tawek Yaruwshalaim).

Then (wa) the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation (Yaruwshalaim) will be called (qara’ – will summon and welcome, greet and proclaim, even be designated as) the reliable and trustworthy (ha ‘emeth – the permanent and continual, the steadfast and dependable, the verifiable and demonstrable) city (‘iyr) and the mountain (wa har) of Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’), the Set-Apart Mount (Har Qodesh).’” (Zakaryah 8:3)

“Thus says (koh ‘amar) Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’), ‘Behold (hineh), I, Myself, will save (‘any yasha’ – I personally will deliver and liberate, rescue and free) My people (‘eth ‘am ‘any – those who are associated with My Family) from the country toward the sunrise (min ‘erets mizrach – the land toward the east), and from the region (wa min ‘erets) entering from the direction of the setting (mabow’ – from the country coming while pondering the arrival; from mah – to question and bow’ – to come and go, to arrive and enter) of the sun (ha shemesh).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 8:7)

Let it be known: Rabbinic Judaism has no plan or hope of salvation, but that is not the case with Yahowah. He will save Yahuwdym who are free of rabbinical and political influences.

156Let it be known: Yahowah is returning to restore Tsyown, and He will remain in Yaruwshalaim. The city will instantly become the least contested and least religious place on Earth. Therefore, God is returning to His people – Yisra’el and Yahuwdah – not for a religion or a church.

Let it be known: When Yahowah arrives, the religious can kiss their Lord, HaShem, Jesus, and Allah goodbye – that is if they haven’t already been dissolved. Yahowah, at the exclusion of all others, saves.

Let it be known: yasha’ means to deliver from harm’s way, to liberate and free. Yahowah is saving His people from all other people – and thus from religions, political institutions, and militaries.

Let it be known: Yaruwshalaim’s renown as ha ‘emeth ‘iyr means that nothing Yahowah has said has changed. The only way for it to be reliable is for Yahowah’s promises to have been trustworthy and dependable. That being so, the claims of the Talmud and New Testament are negated.

Let it be known: the Signs Posted Along the Way upon the ridgeline of Tsyown lead from Dowd’s home to Yahowah’s Royal Residence on the summit of Har Mowryah | the Mount to Revere Yah. The fact that it is Qodesh | Set-Apart means that it is special and not common, separated and thus not allied. It will, therefore, be the opposite of what is common among men: religious, political, militaristic, patriotic, or conspiratorial.

At this moment in time, the land, region or country to the east is most likely communist China. Although, if Islam’s attempted siege of Yisra’el hasn’t already been thwarted by God, then Yahowah may be saving Jews from jihadists.

The min ‘erets mabow’ ha shemesh is a bit of a head-scratcher due to the nature of mabow’. It is typically 157rendered as “entrance,” but if so, the sun enters each day from the east, not west. Therefore, the second clause would be reinforcing the previous one and would read: “Behold (hineh), I, Myself, will liberate and deliver (‘any yasha’) My people (‘eth ‘am ‘any) from the country toward the sunrise (min ‘erets mizrach), and therefore from the region (wa min ‘erets) of the emerging (mabow’ – from the country coming while pondering the arrival of; from mah – to question and bow’ – to come and go, to arrive and enter) sun (ha shemesh).”

If this reading is correct, we are back to communist China. If not, and if mabow’ is to be rendered as “going or leaving,” then a belligerent foe will be attacking from the Sea. However, with mabow’ actually meaning “to question the arrival, even the coming and going” of the sun, there are a host of other possibilities. The Earth’s climate will assuredly have changed as a result of natural and human activity, including a World War, which will include a nuclear exchange. With the sun and moon no longer visible, and with the arrival of Yahowah’s Light, this could imply a number of things – none of them good.

Speaking of the Chosen People, and thereby obliterating the foundational claims of Christianity and Islam, Yahowah states…

“‘And I will come to them and bring them (wa bow’ ‘eth hem – I will return to them, arriving for them) to live and abide (wa shakan – to dwell and remain) in the midst (ba tawek) of Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation and Restoration (Yaruwshalaim).

And they will be (wa hayah) My people, becoming My family (la ‘any la ‘am), and I, Myself, will be (‘any hayah) their God (la hem la ‘elohym – approaching them as the Almighty) in honesty and integrity (ba ‘emeth – in truth, reliable and dependable, trustworthy and dependable, steadfast and certain) and by being right (wa ba tsadaqah 158– by being correct and fair, just and acquitting).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 8:8)

Thus says (koh ‘amar) Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’), ‘Let your hands be enabled and strong (chazaq yad ‘atem), those who are listening (ha shama’) during these days (ba ha yowmym ha ‘el leh) to the words (dabarym) communicated by the prophets (min peh ha naby’ym – voiced by those who speak for God).

Those who have walked along the correct path to get the most out of life and enjoy the benefits of the relationship (‘asher) can establish and lay the foundation (yasad – will build the base and begin construction) during that time (ba yowm) for the House of the Family (beyth – the Home for the Household) of Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’), so that the Royal Residence and Temple (ha heykal) will be built (la banah – will be constructed for the family name).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 8:9)

Yaruwshalaim will be the most glorious place on Earth. Its heart will be Yahowah while the souls are the people of the Covenant.

The day that God can once again say, “These are My people and I am their God,” was predicted in Howsha’. Having forgotten the Towrah and breached the terms of the Covenant, Yahowah divorced Yisra’el. But now, the family is back together again.

Yahuwdym were dishonest, but Yahowah has remained trustworthy. The people have been unreliable, while God has been dependable. With these words, Yahowah is affirming that He did not change, so for this to occur, Yisra’el started listening to the voice of the prophets.

159Should we have thought that Yahowah would be building His Home for His Family Himself upon His return, that isn’t the case, nor should it be. Yahowah prefers working with His people so it will be a collaborative effort. We will be afforded the opportunity to invest a little sweat equity into our eternal home.

It is a new world, a different time, with the object of continuous scorn now seen as the ultimate blessing…

“‘And just as you have been (wa hayah ka ‘asher hayah) accursed and vilified, ridiculed and demeaned (qalalah – implicated in all nature of contemptible and groundless conspiracies), among the gentiles (ba ha gowym), I will deliver you, sparing you from this (ken yasha’ ‘eth ‘atem), Family of Yahuwdah (beyth Yahuwdah) and the House of Yisra’el (beyth Yisra’el), such that you will become (wa hayah) a blessing and source of peace (barakah).

Fear not (‘al yare’) and you will prevail with your influence restored (chazaq yad ‘atem).’ (Zakaryah 8:13)

For thus says (ky koh ‘amar) Yahowah of the spiritual messengers (YaHoWaH tsaba’), ‘Based upon the status of the relationship, I had considered (ka ‘asher zamam) breaking you out of it (ra’a la ‘atem) when your fathers (ba ‘ab ‘atem) provoked Me (ba qatsaph ‘any ‘eth ‘any),’ says (‘amar) Yahowah of the spiritual implements (YaHoWaH tsaba’), ‘and I did not relent (wa lo’ nacham). (Zakaryah 8:14)

However, now I am intending (ken zamam – I am planning) upon My return (shuwb – when I come to restore) at that time (ba ha yowm ha ‘el leh) to do what is right and good (yatab – to bring that which is beneficial and pleasing, rewarding and beneficial) for Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Teaching on Restoration) and for the House (wa ‘eth beyth) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – the Beloved of Yah). Fear not 160(‘al yare’ – do not be concerned or anxious). (Zakaryah 8:15)

These are the words (‘el leh ha dabar) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), you should act upon (‘asah – you should consider doing (qal imperfect jussive)): Speak the truth, demonstrating integrity (dabar ‘emeth) to one another, from friends to neighbors, from associates to the nations (‘iysh ‘eth rea’ huw’), being trustworthy and honest (‘emeth), exercising good judgment (wa mishpat) while deciding (shaphat) in favor of restoration and reconciliation (shalowm) on behalf of those with whom you can reason (ba sha’ar ‘atem).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 8:16)

Jews have been vilified and demeaned for 2,500 years. It has gotten old. It was dumb then and it is stupid now. Every time someone ridicules or implicates Jews, it reveals the ignorance of the accuser and causes God to despise them. Those are poor life choices.

I am ready to see Yisra’el’s influence restored. They were called to be God’s witnesses, His prophets, and a shining example of the best we can be.

Clearly, Jews have brought a modicum of their torment on themselves. Their religion is obnoxious, and their outfits are ridiculous. But, nonetheless, all of the conspiratorial, political, and religious claims against them are unjustified.

Jews have managed to provoke God; of that, we can be certain. But we can also expect Yahowah to restore His relationship with His people. God will do what is right for His people.

As the sands descend in mankind’s hourglass, it is long past time that we learn to tell the truth. Let’s stop lying to one another about religion and politics, about socialism and 161communism, and especially about conspiracies, Israel, Jews, and Yahowah. Let’s exercise good judgment and be honest, encouraging all who will listen to decide in favor of reconciliation and restoration. And thankfully, Yahowah has only asked us to communicate with those with whom we can reason – eliminating the need to talk with anyone who is overtly religious, political, or conspiratorial. They are a waste of breath.

In the context of His people’s restoration and His return on the Day of Reconciliations, Yahowah set the prophetic scene in this next passage. And in so doing, He established His credentials so that those who were willing to listen and accept what He has to say will benefit.

“This is the prophetic pronouncement (masa’) of Yahowah’s (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH – existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration) Word (dabar – message) concerning (‘al) Yisra’el (Yisra’el – Individuals who Engage and Endure with God): Yahowah (Yahowah – written as directed by His towrah – teaching), who spread out (natah – who expanded and stretched out, extending and causing to bend) the universe (shamaym – the heavens and space), and established (yasad – laid the foundation for and created) the Earth (‘erets – the world), and who shaped the impulse for (yatsar – devised and planned to place) the Spirit (ruwach) inside (ba qereb – in the inner part or midst of) ‘Adam | humankind (‘adam – the first human and mankind), predicts (na’um – issues a prophetic revelation based upon His authority):…” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:1)

162In this proclamation, you will notice that Yahowah attests that the universe is expanding and that the fabric of space bends. While we know these things now, man circa 500 BCE did not.

With this statement, another piece of the puzzle just fell into place. The Bare’syth / Genesis account tells us that Yahowah gave man – like all other animals – a nepesh soul, or consciousness, to make him a living creature. Then Yahowah revealed that He equipped ‘Adam with a neshamah, conscience, to elevate him into the likeness of God. Our conscience, or neshamah, is the seat of judgment. It enabled ‘Adam, and us, to differentiate between right and wrong, to discriminate between good and bad, and to judge between the ways of Yahowah and those of man. Therefore, our conscience is what God shaped within humankind to make us receptive to the Spirit. With it, in addition to our nepesh, humankind is equipped to live in Yahowah’s presence.

With this realization, one of Christendom’s biggest myths is busted. There is no such thing as “original sin.” The Catholic Church’s position that a child must be baptized by them to be purged of ‘Adam’s stain is erroneous. From Yahowah’s perspective, and His is the one which matters, ‘Adam was conceived with the means to restore the relationship. His neshamah | conscience was passed on from father to son, but not his sin.

This known, while most people are likely imbued with a conscience today, it has been rendered inoperable. It runs on logic when fed accurate information. Religion and politics are its nemeses. The former gums up the works with faulty programming and errant data while the latter renders judgment offensive.

With this in mind, let’s examine what God predicted would occur in our not-too-distant future…

163“‘Behold (hineh – look here and see), I am preserving (sym – I am placing and appointing) Yaruwshalaim (‘eth Yaruwshalaim – the source of guidance regarding restoration) as the threshold and doorway (saph – as the goblet of the doorkeeper, the guarded bowl and basin at the entrance; from saphaph – the doorkeeper) of reeling and staggering intoxication (ra’al – of stumbling and bumbling as if inebriated) for all of the surrounding people (la kol ha ‘am sabyb) and also for those against (wa gam ‘al) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judea).

This will exist during (hayah ba) the siege (ha matsowr – the methodical confining and process of surrounding the city and blocking off access; from mah – to ponder the implications of tsuwr – the troublesome confining and adversarial constraints, the besieging and binding hostility) against (‘al – upon) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Instruction Regarding Reconciliation).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:2)

So much for the future – this is occurring today. The conquest of Jerusalem is the insane rant of Muslims and Progressives around the world. And it is the catalyst for Islamic terrorism among the Muslims surrounding the city.

Having interviewed Islamic terrorists in proximity to Jerusalem after 9.11 in late 2001, and then having compiled Prophet of Doom, I understand the stupefying effects of religion in general and Islam in particular. This conclusion becomes readily apparent when we witness enraged Muslim youth lashing out with rocks, crude incendiary devices, bottle rockets, and firecrackers while building barricades comprised of burning tires and trash. They are mentally disabled, emotionally dysregulated, and morally compromised. It is as if they were operating under the influence of a debilitating drug.

164Muslims, and the liberals who support them, are unable to comprehend that there is no basis for the “Palestinian” claim to Jerusalem. There are no “Palestinians” and no “Palestine.” The Philistines, whose name they are commandeering, were not native to the land but instead from Crete. Their borders never exceeded the Gaza Strip. And they were wiped out by the Assyrians 2,600 years ago.

As for the claim that Jerusalem is the third holiest site in Islam, that is equally ignorant. It is based upon Quran and Hadith stories that are enormously embarrassing to the religion. Following Muhammad’s repudiation of monotheism and the fiasco of the Satanic Verses, the demon-possessed pedophile, while in bed with a nine-year-old child, dreamed that he fled his domestic troubles by riding a winged ass during the night to Jerusalem. Inside the Temple, he claimed to have met with all of the Hebrew prophets, from ‘Adam to Issa, the Islamic “Jesus,” prior to riding the flying ass from the Temple Mount through Hell to the Islamic Heaven. The Dome of the Rock was then built to commemorate this flight of fancy.

It was the result of Muhammad’s capitulation on monotheism. It draws our attention to the fact that he, by his own admission, was inspired by Satan. It even highlights the realization that Muhammad was a sexual pervert. Moreover, asses do not fly. Muhammad was never in Jerusalem. The Temple had been destroyed 500 years earlier. One does not go to Heaven by way of Hell. But even so, what’s with the Rock Pile in Mecca if the only way to get to Heaven is through Jerusalem?

God is telling us that the Islamic rage behind the siege of Jerusalem and Judea is intoxicating, such that there is no merit in negotiating with them. One cannot reason with a Muslim. Those who try to engage or coddle them, display their ignorance of the Quran and Hadith, Muhammad and his alter-ego, Allah, and of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

165Returning to that which is credible, Yahowah revealed that the Islamic misconceptions regarding Jerusalem, and the misappropriation of the city, will be their undoing.

“‘It shall be (wa hayah) during this time (ba ha yowm ha huw’) that I will cause (sym – I will appoint and set) Yaruwshalaim (‘eth Yaruwshalaim – the source of guidance regarding restoration) to be an immovable stone (‘eben ma’amasah – to be a difficult and challenging, firmly embedded rock) for all of these people (la kol ha ‘am).

Everyone who attempts to move it (kol ‘amas hy’) will lacerate and impale themselves (sarat sarat – will injure themselves, branding themselves in the process with it becoming tattooed upon them).

And yet (wa), gentiles from every ethnicity, nation, religion, and place on Earth (kol gowym ha ‘erets) will gather against it (‘asaph ‘al hy’ – will assemble together in opposition to her).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:3)

Man is a slow learner. Some will never understand. Among our worst choices is to oppose Yahowah, His people, and His place. The Earth is littered with the ruins of nations and institutions that have tried.

To this day, Jerusalem is the most contested place on the planet. It is the capital of the Jewish homeland, a gift from God to His people, and yet everyone the world over seems set on taking it away and giving it to religious terrorists. In keeping with cancel culture and political correctness, the truth is disparaged to establish a myth.

Jerusalem and Judea will continue to be under siege between now and Yahowah’s Yowm Kipurym return. The only thing which is going to change is the source of the belligerents, the size of the assault, and the caliber of the weapons brought to bear against God’s people. Yahowah 166is speaking of an assault triggered by Muslims after the fall of Syria, which will ultimately engulf the world in conflict as nations take sides.

“During that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of , our ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) declares prophetically (na’um – predicting the future), ‘I will strike and destroy (nakah – I will attack and defeat) every (kol) fast-moving and flying weapon of war (suws – swift horse-powered chariot and swooping swallow) by confusing (ba ha timahown – by bewildering and stupefying, stunning and panicking) the drivers (wa rakab huw’ – those riding in military vehicles), causing them to be irrational and erratic (shiga’own – causing them to be unreliable maniacs who are out of their minds, so furious they are rendered incompetent).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:4 in part)

This would have required considerable intervention some years ago but can now be achieved with an EMP blast or corrupted programming. Almost all weapons of war are guided by GPS, such that a crippling of that system would bewilder driver and rider alike, panicking them in enemy airspace.

As a pilot, I became dependent upon GPS and moving map displays within my aircraft. I stopped carrying paper charts and relied upon redundant electronic systems – all powered by means of the Global Positioning System. If that system failed, I would have been poorly equipped to navigate around complex airways. Now mix dysfunctional technology with misleading religion and unreliable politics, and you have zombies. These guys will be their own worst enemies.

Suws is most often used in correlation with swiftly moving military machines, especially mounted cavalry and chariots. It depicts something which is “ridden in flight.” 167All of this ties nicely into rakab | drivers and thus provides us with a glimpse of the weaponry which will be brought to bear against Yisra’el, Yaruwshalaim, and Yahuwdym.

“‘So for the sake of the House (wa ‘al beyth) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judah), I will keep My eyes open (paqach ‘eth ‘ayn ‘any – I will be observant, diligent, and perceptive), and therefore (wa), every one of these peoples’ (kol ha ‘am) fast-moving and flying weapons of war (suws – swift horse-powered chariots and swooping swallows (aircraft)), I will afflict (nakah – I will strike and defeat) with the inability to see (ba ha ‘iwrown – with blindness and resulting confusion from a lack of situational awareness and disorientation).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:4)

It is one of a million lacerations upon the heart of Christianity. Right up to the end, Yahowah’s attention is focused on the House of Yahuwdah. He is continuing to support His people against the likes of Christians who are in opposition to them. There is no room in these words or elsewhere for Replacement Theology – and without it, there is no basis for Christianity.

As man’s weapons have become more technologically sophisticated, they have become more vulnerable. There is not much that can go wrong with an unguided bomb, but a variety of errors can send a “smart bomb” astray. Similarly, a pilot flying a magnetic compass heading is not “blinded and disoriented” by the failure of modern avionics linked to global positioning satellites, because those skills are no longer taught. It’s like the inability to do multiplication in one’s head after the development of calculators. As mentioned previously, a significant electromagnetic energy pulse at the right time and place would render the world’s positioning and communications systems inoperable – and thus cause almost all weapons of war to be disoriented and blinded.

168While God will strike down those who openly demonstrate that they have no regard for His people or the promises He has made to them, Yahowah will continue to support those who love Him and who rely upon Him.

“Then the close friends and lovers (wa ‘aluwph – the champions and confidants, those engaged in a familial relationship with) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judah) will use their best judgment (ba leb hem – will be motivated and inclined after thinking it through) to say (‘amar – to acknowledge), ‘For me (la ‘any), those who live and remain in (yashab – the inhabit who dwell in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation) are supported and empowered, strengthened, equipped, and enabled (‘amtsah – are made especially capable, able to accomplish whatever is necessary, strengthened and protected) by (ba) Yahowah (Yahowah – written as directed by His towrah – teaching), their God (‘elohym hem), and His conscripts who assist (tsaba’ – spiritual support team which is mustered and directed).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:5)

We, those who are champions and confidants of Yahuwdah, and who are engaged in a familial relationship with Yahowah’s Beloved, are few and far between. But we are resolutely committed to the wellbeing of God’s people and the sanctity of His place. Moreover, we celebrate the benefits associated with trusting Yahowah to empower and equip His Family to accomplish whatever He wants to be done.

Should you be confused by the fact that we, like Yahowah, are resolutely opposed to Judaism and to rabbis, it is because they are Yahuwdah’s most debilitating foes. Those who are attacking Yisra’el are using weapons that are readily disabled, while the festering disease of religion strikes at the heart of its prey and metastasizes to the point 169that there is no longer any distinction between the individual and the institution.

Yes, Yisra’el, Yahuwdah, and Yaruwshalaim will be relentlessly and ruthlessly attacked by moronic and barbaric Muslims, Christians, Multiculturalists, Progressives, and Communists, but with Yahowah’s protection, it will remain the safest place on Earth for the Chosen People. Be not afraid. Come home.

Usually translated as “of hosts,” Yahowah’s tsaba’ are comprised of mal’ak | spiritual messengers and heavenly envoys. They are “a regiment of living implements, energy-based beings akin to light, who are perfectly arranged to serve, always doing as God requests.” The tsaba’ are “marshaled to perform in assigned roles and to engage in all manner of battles.” While Yahowah’s mal’ak, messengers and envoys, whom we errantly call “angels,” have no freewill, they have access to and work on behalf of the just Sovereign of the Universe.

Returning to Zakaryah, we find that sides have been chosen. Now all that remains is watching the contest unfold.

“‘In that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – during this time), I will cause (sym – I will enable and preserve) the close friends, related family, and lovers (‘eth ‘aluwph – the champions and confidants, those engaged in a familial relationship with) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah, commonly transliterated Judah) to be like (ka) a flaming pulpit (kyowr ‘esh – a fiery platform upon a stage, a blazing cauldron, a hearth, forge, and smelting furnace) in the timbers (ba ‘ets – the combustible material) and like a blazing torch (laphyd ‘eth – a burning firebrand and shining flame) among stalks of fallen grain (ba ‘amyr – sheeves of cut and bound stubble).

And they will devour them (wa ‘akal – so they will consume and destroy them) to the right and to the left (‘al 170yamyn wa ‘al sama’owl), enveloping all of the surrounding armies and peoples (‘eth kol ha ‘am sabyb), while Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation) shall continue to be inhabited (wa yashab ‘owd – shall support the living, now and forevermore), succeeding, with one thing logically following another, through time (tachath – with an orderly succession of events playing out) in (ba – within) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Teaching on Restoration, a.k.a., Jerusalem).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:6)

While it was not the intent, this answers a question that I have been ruminating about for some time. We know that those harvested on Taruw’ah will be instantly transformed into spiritual beings with the capacity to manifest physical attributes when desired. But we were not told whether the returning remnant inhabiting the Millennial Sukah would also have this Divine quality. And yet, now with the recognition that they will be likened to blazing caldrons and flaming torches, we have our answer. Cool.

The two Witnesses serving in Yaruwshalaim at this time should have this same capability – albeit on command. Their words will devour the combustible stubble who challenge them. This, then, implies that every member of God’s Covenant Family will be so equipped.

Yahowah will never again allow Jerusalem to be completely destroyed. And we know the reason why: it is the source of guidance and teaching on restoration.

It is interesting to note that, while 1.5 billion Muslims seek the eradication of Jews and Israel, and while they have done their utmost politically, religiously, economically, and militarily to vanquish God’s chosen people and occupy the Promised Land and eternal city, they have and will continue to fail.

171As the Muslims and Multiculturalists seeking the eradication of Jews get their comeuppance, we are told two different and yet very interesting things about Jerusalem. First, Yaruwshalaim shall continue to be inhabited and supported, now and forevermore. And second, the events Yahowah has planned and foretold will succeed, with one thing logically following another, throughout time as an orderly succession of events plays out in Yaruwshalaim. The latter is to say that, following Taruw’ah, Kipurym will precede Sukah. And following Sukah, God’s people will camp out with Him for one thousand years from 6000 to 7000 Yah.

It is so obvious, so clearly stated, so often repeated, and so vitally important, it is a wonder that those deluded by Judaism and Christianity share the same blind spot. It is Dowd | David who is returning with Yahowah. He is the long-awaited Mashyach | Messiah and King of Kings.

I get it, the Hasidic are too busy worshiping their predecessors and wallowing in their manure to consider the word of God. And Christians have been duped into believing that “the Lord” has dementia and is not very adept at names, unable to even remember His own. To them, Dowd is dead and buried, and everything God said about him was wrong unless it was magically transferred to Iesou Christou | Jesus Christ. But jeez, fellas, you can’t all be that blind!

“Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence) will rescue and deliver, save and protect (yasha’ – will provide liberation and salvation for), Yahuwdah’s (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah and Related to Yah’s) homes and households (‘ohel – shining and radiant dwellings and brilliant habitations) first and foremost (ba ha ri’shown – in the initial phase), so that (la ma’an – for the intent and purpose that) the honor and glory (tiph’areth – the 172majesty and splendor) of the House (beyth – the home and family) of Dowd (Dowd – the Beloved) and the splendor (wa tiph’areth – the beautiful shining appearance and renown) of the inhabitants of (yashab – those who live in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation) are not surpassed by (lo’ gadal – are not honored or exalted above) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:7)

Dowd, who was from the House of Yahuwdah, had sovereignty over a unified Yisra’el, ruling from Yaruwshalaim. And while all of these will be enveloped in majesty, the ranking with Yahowah is Dowd, Yahuwdah, Yisra’el (which is the House of Dowd), and then Yaruwshalaim. While it’s a little like asking a chocoholic if she prefers chocolate cake, chocolate pie, chocolate ice cream or chocolate cookies, Yahowah does have a preference. And the only reason Yaruwshalaim is listed last among favorites is that it is a place filled with people of different backgrounds.

Therefore, Dowd, Yahowah’s Firstborn and Chosen One, is not individually listed because he is working with Yahowah, delivering Yahuwdah first and Yisra’el, the House of Dowd, second. That said, this is going to be the most beautiful place on earth, more magnificent than anything we can even imagine. Yahowah will be sculpting with light, and the people will be as radiant as their homes are glorious.

The way this is worded, we know that Yahuwdah is Yahowah and Dowd’s first priority. And yet, when all is said and done, it will be no more majestic than Yaruwshalaim. And that is because Yahowah is going to treat all of His children as if they were royalty – even those of us who are adopted.

173“On that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – during that time), Yahowah ( – a transliteration of YaHoWaH as instructed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) will defend (ganan – will protect, serving as a fence, shield, and hedge) the inhabitants of (yashab – those who live and remain in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) and have their backs (ba’ad – will be positioned all around and throughout them for their benefit).

So it will exist (wa hayah) that the wavering and weak-kneed (kashal – the feeble and faltering) among them (ba hem) on that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’) will be likened unto (ka – will be compared to) Dowyd (Dowyd – the Beloved), and the House of Dowyd (wa beyth Dowyd) will be like God (ka ‘elohym), similar to a spiritual implement and heavenly messenger (ka mal’ak – comparable to the dispatch, deputy, and envoy) of Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH – existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration) in their appearance (la paneh hem).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:8)

As their Father and their God, Yahowah will defend and protect the House of Dowd and, therefore, Yisra’el, Yahuwdym, and the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim. He “has their backs!” If you are looking for God at this time, you will find Him among His people.

One of Dowd’s many exemplary attributes is his courage. When it came to the first duty of a shepherd and king, he never cowered when it came to protecting his people. And he led by example, talking the talk and walking the walk.

As with Dowd, as with those of us who follow his lead, we can, should, and will demonstrate similar resolve and character. Courage, demonstrating the will to fight to 174defend the family, will be ubiquitous among those in the Covenant.

Even better, just as Dowd is likened unto God upon his return, so shall we be. Similar to our Shepherd, we will become ever more like God. Transformed from weak and decaying, aging and limited, physical beings, we will exhibit the energetic appearance of the mal’ak, who are empowered and eternal spiritual beings akin to light.

Thankfully, we will be likened to Dowd and similar to God with the appearance of mal’ak – which is the best of all possibilities. It is, therefore, the enriched and empowered, the emboldened and fearless, who are inheriting the Kingdom of God, not the mealy-mouthed or meek.

Every time Dowd’s name appears in the Mizmowr | Psalms, and thus by his own hand, it is written DoWD. Dowd’s contemporary, Shamuw’el, also scribed the Mashyach’s name as DWD. Of the 1,073 appearances (plus or minus 7 occurrences depending upon the resource) of the King’s name in the various Masoretic Texts (approximately 1144 inclusive of the noun, dowd), it is written in the longer form as Dowyd 285 times. Of those occasions, they are mostly from books assigned to the Second Temple period, with the mixed usage of DoWD and DoWYD occurring after the dawn of the 6^th century BCE. Every book belonging to the First Temple period, or not later than the first part of the 6^th century, presents the Mashyach’s name as DoWD.

To be even more specific, in the script of the prophet who knew him best, Shamuw’el, Dowd’s name appears 575 times as DWD and not a single time as DWYD. The three-letter spelling is further reinforced in 4QSam^b, which is dated to 250 BCE and is thus among the oldest scrolls. In Melekym / Kings, the name of the King of Kings is written 93 times as DWD, appearing 3 times as DWYD 175(which are likely from the hands of later copyists). In his own Mizmowr / Psalms and Mashal / Proverbs, the prophet’s name is scribed DWD all 88 times. In the major Prophets – Isaiah and Jeremiah – we find DWD written 28 times, while DWYD appears just once. In the books attributed to his great-grandmother and to his son – Ruth and Ecclesiastes – all three occurrences of Yahowah’s Chosen One were written as Dowd. The exception to this rule is found in the minor Prophets, like Zakaryah and Malaky, where we find Dowd once and Dowyd 8 times. It is only in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah, which were among the last books compiled, that we find Dowyd written all 271 times, representing 95% of the total.

Dowd’s name is based upon dowd (Strong’s H1730), which appears 61 times and means “beloved.” The only name which appears more often is YaHoWaH.

It is curious that the older, original, and clearly preferred and predominant spelling as Dowd is considered “defective” in biblical scholarship. Their rationale is tainted by the fact they believe that the Wah is a consonant rather than a vowel – which, of course, belies any logical review of the ToWRaH. They make the same claim of the Wah in YaHoWaH’s name, thereby claiming that it is unpronounceable. I suppose we are to believe that poor diction, and perhaps dyslexia, ran in the family, such that neither Yahowah nor His Son, Dowd, knew how to write or pronounce their own names. Or maybe not. Occam’s Razor (attributed to William of Ockham (c 1287-1374) who proposed that, when choosing between hypotheses, the one requiring the fewest assumptions is preferable) would lead us to conclude that perhaps it is biblical scholarship that is “defective.”

Empowered by God, we become like God, His envoys and representatives. And the more we rely upon Yahowah, the more effective we become.

176Ultimately, it all comes down to Dowd. Yahowah chose him and fell in love with him, anointed him and inspired him, promoting him, for a reason. He had character and courage. He was right about God. He was not only Towrah-observant, he wrote vociferously about what he learned. The student became a teacher, the follower a leader, and the beneficiary of the Covenant, its Savior.

Ultimately, we are with Yahowah and His people or we are against Him and them. The decision is literally life or death.

“And it will come about (wa hayah – it will occur) at that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – in that day) that I will seek to hold responsible and thus accountable, thereby choosing (baqash – I will investigate and judge, procuring information to interrogate while demonstrating My desire) to decimate and exterminate (la shamad – to overthrow and destroy, annihilating and getting rid of, thereby abolishing) all of (kol – the totality of, every one of) the Gentiles (ha gowym – those unrelated to Yisra’el, the animalistic people, uncultured and uncivilized heathens, Godless nations, a swarm of adversaries, and lifeless corpses) who will have come against (ha bow’ ‘al – those who arrive in opposition to, pursuing) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – Source of Guidance on Reconciliation; from yarah – the source of teaching and guidance and shalam – restitution, redemption, and renewal).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:9)

I suspect that this shatters the myth that God wants to save everyone such that none should perish. Be advised: should you be among the great majority who would give Jerusalem to the Fakestinian terrorists, your days are numbered.

To have done something whereby accountability necessitates extermination is a serious crime. And here, the Judge and Executioner are God.

177Those confused by liberal jargon are unable to fathom the compassion in these words. They have been led to believe that hate is the enemy of humankind when it is actually a virtue. Love necessitates knowing who, when, how, and why we should oppose those who would seek to harm those we love.

Prior to this response from God, there has always been time, measured in millennia, centuries, and decades, but now there are only days and fleeting moments to cull the goats from the sheep, determining who stays and who goes.

While man has been doing it for thousands of years, and all around the globe, when we see terms like “decimate and exterminate,” “annihilate and abolish,” associated with God, even in the limited parameters of defending Jerusalem from those who would otherwise kill His people, it strikes some as harsh, even extreme. But it is actually kind, even mild under the circumstances. Yahowah is extending one life by truncating another. Moreover, it is fair to annihilate those who sought to exterminate His Family. Further, God is responsible for conceiving the lives that He is now terminating, meaning that for them it would still have been a net gain; after all, He could send them all to She’owl.

In the context of Yowm Kipurym, understand that Yahowah’s return is either “Reconciliations Day” or “Judgment Day” depending upon what or who brought these people to Yaruwshalaim.

Having removed the pathogens from His Home, Yahowah is prepared to fulfill Yowm Kipurym...

“And I will pour out (wa shaphak – cause an outpouring, profusely expending) upon (‘al – over) the House (beyth – the family, home, and household) of Dowyd (Dowyd – the Beloved, commonly known as David, representing Yisra’el), and on the inhabitants of (‘al yashab – upon those who live, dwell, and remain in) 178Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – Source of Guidance on Reconciliation; from yarah – the source of teaching and guidance and shalam – restitution, redemption, and renewal), the Spirit (ruwach – the Maternal and set-apart manifestation of God’s outreach, support, and power) of genuine mercy, compassion, loyal love, and favorable acceptance (chen – of kindness, of being pleasing and agreeable, approval and satisfaction), pleading for clemency and forgiveness (tachanuwn – providing a petition to save, requesting a pardon)…” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:10 in part)

Since Towrah is based upon the actionable root, yarah, it is the source from which teaching and guidance, instructions and directions, flow. Therefore, the Ruwach Chen | Merciful Spirit is being poured out of the Towrah. With yarah also serving to define Yaruwshalaim, there is yet another element of consistency, with the Word, the City, and the Spirit working in harmony.

Recognizing that Yahowah’s approach to His people is going to be compassionate and merciful, loving and kind, providing clemency and forgiveness, Christianity’s “Gospel of Grace” becomes moot as does Judaism’s approach with its countless and laborious laws. Counter to the rabbis, Yahowah is not trying or testing His people, either.

Yahowah’s promise to “pour out the Spirit of Acceptance upon the House of Dowd (which is Yisra’el) and Yaruwshalaim” describes the prophetic fulfillment of the stated purpose of the Day of Reconciliations. Those who have come to know, trust, and rely upon our Heavenly Father are invited to come into His presence by way of the Spirit of Acceptance. For the first time in 3,000 years, David’s family has become God’s Family. At this moment, and on this essential day, the Chosen People will be reconciled unto Yahowah as God forgives and accepts 179them – and largely because of what Dowd accomplished 40 Yowbel previously.

This serves as an affirmation that our translation of Qara’ / Called Out / Leviticus 23:27 was correct. The ‘isheh represents the Maternal manifestation of God’s fiery light who purifies, enlightens, and uplifts Her children. Based upon this realization, beyond loving-kindness and mercy, chen is also “a beautiful garment or ornamentation.” This is evocative of the Spirit’s Garment of Light. It is the wardrobe that adorns those who are forgiven as they are enveloped in Her light.

The last word in the passage, tachanun, translated as “pleading for clemency and forgiveness,” affirms these interpretations. It is based upon chen and chanan, meaning “to show favor, to plead for compassion, and to implore forgiveness.” These actions define the role of the Set-Apart Spirit. And they explain the reason we are invited to come into Her presence on this day – the Day of Reconciliations.

The continuation of this prophetic pronouncement is among the most important in the Prophets. In context, we now know that the Yahuwdym who have survived the Tribulation have come to yada’ Yahowah. Now reconciled, they have been adopted into God’s Family by accepting and attending the Beryth and Miqra’ey.

“And (wa) for a time, I will pour out (shaphak – I will provide an outpouring and build upon) upon the House (‘al beyth – on behalf of the family and home) of Dowd (Dowyd – the Beloved (of the 1076 occurrences of DWD this was one of the few in a prophetic text scribed DWYD – adding a Yowd representing the hand of Yah)), and upon (wa ‘al – also on behalf of) those who dwell in (yashab – the inhabitants who establish their abode and remain in) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance and Teaching on Reconciliation), a spirit of compassion and acceptance (ruwach chen – the spirit of 180favor and mercy, of a beautiful and beneficial Spiritual Garment), (wa) for those requesting mercy and clemency (tachanuwn – of being treated with kindness and affection, with compassion; from chanan – mercy and favorable treatment).

Then (wa), they will be able to look (nabat – they, at this time, will be equipped to observe, focus upon, pay attention to, and regard, think about and then appropriately respond) to Me (‘el ‘any) accompanied by the one who (‘eth ‘asher – with whom by association, and to show the way to the benefits of the relationship) they had reviled and pierced (daqar – they had thrust into by driving sharp implements completely through (qal perfect)), and (wa) they will lament (saphad – they will sob, expressing their genuine sorrow (qal perfect)) over him (‘al huw’) just like (ka – similar to the way) one cries (misped – one shrieks and howls) over the most uniquely special child and valued life (‘al ha yachyd – for the only son; from yachad – who reunited and joined together), anguished and infuriated (wa marar – grieving furiously, angry and enraged, even frantic) over him (‘al huw’ – on his account), consistent with (ka) the anguish suffered over (marar ‘al – the frustration and rage endured over) the firstborn (ha bakowr – the first son born into a family).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yah / Zechariah 12:10)

While this destroys two religions, it is marvelous for the relationship. It was written to express the kind of emotion experienced when a family reunites after a long and troubled separation.

The last opportunity for reconciliation is being poured out in this special way and at this opportune moment on behalf of the Household of Dowd. The Messiah represents Yisra’el | Individuals who Engage and Endure with God, Yahuwdah | the Beloved of Yah, and the Beryth | Covenant Family, such that the Beyth Dowd | Household of Dowd is 181comprised of select individuals representing a fusion of Yisra’el, Yahuwdah, and ha Beryth.

God and King are returning to Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations. As a result of what they have done for the Family during the preceding five Miqra’ey | Invitations to be Called Out and Meet with God, there will be an outpouring of compassion from Ruwach | Spirit upon those who have gathered to receive them. It will be the ultimate family reunion. Our Heavenly Father, Spiritual Mother, and beloved Son, our Savior, have returned to claim their own.

In this case, saphad speaks of “being exceedingly emotional, ecstatic to the point of tears.” Similarly, misphed is more about shrieking than crying, even when they are tears of joy.

Yahowah is predicting a reunion. That is the primary definition of yachad, from which yachyd is derived. While it can address the idea of reuniting with a beloved and special child, it is more appropriately seen as joining together to make a family whole.

Grieving will also be appropriate. Yahuwdym have provoked God and caused themselves undue stress over the millennia for having discounted Yahowah’s Firstborn, their Messiah and King. And just think about how many have died needlessly from having negated the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb and failing to appreciate Dowd’s redemptive gift on Matsah.

“At that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), the shrieks and shouts (ha misphed – the outcry; from my – to question and consider saph – the threshold and doorkeeper) will be loud and mournful (gadal – will be magnified) in Yaruwshalaim (ba Yaruwshalaim). It will be like (ka) the outcry (ha misphed – the shrieks and shouts; from my – to question and consider saph – the threshold and doorkeeper) 182of Hadad Rimown (Hadad Rimown) in the valley (baq’ah – depression or plain) of Megiddo (Magidown – all things related to fruit of the most eminent, from mah – to consider the implications of gadad – the gathering, invading, penetrating, and attacking of innumerable troops, and own – all things pertaining to being overwhelmed by invading troops).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:11)

Hadad and Rimown are similar, in that they both represent the archetype of a dying and resurrected god upon which the Christian “Jesus” was developed. Outside of Canaan and Syria, and in their more popular guises, these pagan idols were known as Tammuz and Osiris, Adonis and Dionysus.

Hadad is a derivative of ‘adad, which in turn is associated with ‘adown, “lord,” and Adonis. Hadad was also the name of Ishmael’s son, but more on that later. In this regard, be mindful that Paul referred to his demonic deity as “the prince of the power of the air,” and thus as a “wind and storm spirit.” (Ephesians 2:1-2) The Devil’s Advocate would go on to further implicate himself in the same letter, writing: “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) Working for Satan, Sha’uwl battled against Heaven.

Rimown was both the name of a Babylonian wind and storm god and is the title bequeathed to the idol, Hadad. In the ancient world, wind was synonymous with spirit, and thus Hadad Rimown was a spiritual entity – just like Satan. And speaking of the Devil, Rimown was best known in Damascus, the very place Sha’uwl | Paul would encounter him.

The ancient town of Hadad Rimown was located around eleven miles from Mount Carmel and eleven from 183the site which would become known as “Nazareth” to Christians. And that, my friends, is telling. Mount Carmel is the site where the forthright and sarcastic ‘ElYah | Elijah made mincemeat of Ba’al | the Lord and ‘Asherah | the Blessed Mother along with their 850 pagan prophets. Enraged that ‘ElYah had ordered the deaths of her priests, Queen ‘Iyezebel | Jezebel, along with her husband, ‘Ahab, the King of Israel, threatened to kill him. It was they who had instituted the worship of Ba’al and ‘Asherah, making their veneration the lone authorized and acceptable religion of the land. It was all prophetic of the rise and rule of Roman Catholicism, of their priesthood, of their monarchs, of their animosity toward Yahowah, and their homage to the Lord and Blessed Mother of God.

Eleven centuries thereafter, having forgotten the lesson of ‘ElYah’s lecture, the legend of the Roman Catholic Lord would grow again with the emergence of their imaginary “Jesus of Nazareth.” And so, in God’s typical fashion, ‘ElYah will return as a witness, on Passover in 2030, to lambast the resulting religion yet again.

Magidown is where Judean King Yoshyahuw | Josiah lost his life to Mitsraym. During his reign from 640 to 609 BCE, commencing when he was just eight years old, we are told that “he walked exclusively in the way of Dowd, his father and did not turn aside to the right or to the left.” (Melekym / 2 Kings 22:2) His great-grandfather had been King Hezekiah, the man who allowed Yahowah to save Yahuwdah | Judah by observing the Towrah, ridding the nation of religion, and then celebrating Chag Matsah. Of Hezekiah, it is said: “He did what was right in the sight of Yahowah, doing as Dowd had done.” (2 Kings 18:3 & 2 Chronicles 29:2) Yoshyahuw’s grandfather, however, was a reprobate, turning the Temple into a Pantheon of pagan idolatry.

184In the eighth year of Yoshyahuw’s reign he “began to seek the God of his father, Dowd.” Four years later, when he was twenty, he ordered the destruction of all altars and images to Ba’al | the Lord throughout Jerusalem and Judah. (2 Chronicles 34:1-3) Next, he focused on restoring the Temple – cleaning it of religious artifacts. (2 Kings 22:3) While doing so, “the Towrah Scroll of Yahowah given by Moseh” was rediscovered. His response is detailed in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. Walking in the ways of Dowd, Yoshyahuw exposed and condemned Jewish religious practices and astral cults, after which an exclusive relationship with Yahowah was reestablished.

The truth notwithstanding, for much of the 19^th and 20^th centuries, it was commonly agreed among biblical scholars that the “Scroll of the Towrah” was part of a legendary narrative alluding to the notion that an early predecessor of the Torah was invented by Josiah’s priests who were driven by ideological interests to centralize their power. Archeological discoveries and a closer examination of the text have made these scholars appear foolish.

The prophetic proclamations of Yirma’yah began during Yoshyahuw’s reign, focusing on the exiled ten tribes of Yisra’el. It was against the advice of the prophets that Yoshyahuw | Josiah went to war against Egypt – a decision that would cost him his life. To his credit, legend would have it that he may have foreseen the potential for the catastrophe which ensued, so he concealed the Ark of the Covenant and its contents inside a chamber that Solomon had conceived for the purpose.

It was not as if Josiah marched into Egypt to pick a fight. The world around him was in flux, with the Assyrian Empire disintegrating. Prior to the rise of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, Egypt, under Pharaoh Neco II, marched a massive army up to the western extremity of the Euphrates to aid the Assyrians against the upstart Babylonians. His mercenaries passed through the great 185Jezreel Valley which was blocked by Josiah and his Judean army at Megiddo. During the fierce fighting, Yoshyahuw was observed by the Pharaoh and killed.

Neco, whose forces were now delayed and weakened, failed to capture Harran even when aided by Assyrian forces. It was lamentable because, upon his return, Necho imposed his authority over Judea, demanding nearly 4 tons of silver and 75 pounds of gold. It would mark the terminus of Davidic rule and the end of Yahuwdah’s independence.

With the mention of Hadad Rimown in the valley of Magidown | Megiddo, Yahowah is drawing our attention to all that had and would transpire in this place. It is the line in the sand between political, military, and religious power on one side and a relationship with Yahowah on the other.

As an aid to understanding, the Hebrew word for spirit, ruwach, also means “wind.” Wind is an outside force that is powerful. It can be beneficial or harmful, and it can be felt and inhaled, and yet it cannot be seen. Similarly, the Hebrew word for soul, nepesh, also means “breath.” This is air warmed and changed by life – and thus it is known as the sign of life. But unlike the wind which continues to blow, man’s breath is temporal, signifying mortality. All spirits, good and bad, are immortal.

Coveting Yahowah’s symbols, and therefore counterfeiting them, the Rimown title was chosen by Satan because it means “pomegranate.” Seeing them as beautiful, Yahowah used pomegranates to decorate the robes of the high priest, beginning with ‘Aaron. It may also have been because of their blood-red color and stain, which was symbolic of the blood shed by the Passover Lamb. In Satan’s case, it was the symbol of death. Rimown is from ramam – to be lifted up and exalted. It is of seeds in a pomegranate that Rabbi Maimonides would falsely equate to the 613 laws he had deduced.

186A fellow Covenant member, and the man who has devoted his time to fact-checking Yada Yahowah, noticed one blustery day that once the blossoms fluttered away from his pomegranate bushes, the resulting star-shaped sepals had a different number of points, which is unique in nature. The majority had 6 points, many had five, while some had a seven-pointed crown. Knowing that there had to be a reason for Yahowah to have instructed Aaron to place three colors of pomegranates on his robe, he deduced, that symbolically, the ratio between the more-prevalent 6-spiked, and less-observed 5- and 7-crowned sepals, represented the three outcomes available to human souls. With 6 representing the number of man, the majority of pomegranates bud, flower, fruit, and then fade away. Similarly, the vast majority of human souls will wither away, ceasing to exist, after the body supporting them dies. Turning to the second option, man minus God, represented by the 5-pointed flowers (6 man – 1 God = 5), were fruitless, and after drying up, they were blown by the wind over the fence and into the neighbor’s yard, the place of separation. Similarly, those who counterproductively lead others away from God will spend their eternity in She’owl. Whereas the seven-pointed flowers, symbolic of man with God, blossomed and grew, bearing good fruit prior to being harvested, and lifted up into shamaym | the heavens. Okay, he may have eaten too many pomegranates, but it is a good story.

In actuality, his accounting was accurate. The overwhelming majority of pomegranates begin life with six sepals, with petals alternating in between. Five is the next most common arrangement, followed by seven-sepal blossoms. But on the rare occasion, there are eight – symbolic of eternal life. These starbursts remain with the fruit and provide an enduring crown. There is a singular style in the center of it all with two stigmas to receive pollen. In the most productive flowers, the stigmas are seen 187rising above the anthers, symbolic of prioritizing God in our lives.

While we are on the subject, there are some interesting facts about pomegranates. It is mostly a deciduous shrub which can grow into a small tree. It is a fruit with berries. And it is native to Yisra’el, with more than 50 varieties growing in the land. The flowers are male and female, with the males providing pollen and then falling to the ground. The females bear fruit in their ovaries. It is typically self-pollinating but can cross-pollinate. The more normal, healthier fruit occurs when cultures are not mixed. Pomegranates mature very quickly and are among the only fruits to flower from seeds within a year. In their second season, they will bear fruit.

The seeds sit inside an epidermal sack and feature 8 vitamins: Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Choline, C, E, and K. They are ripe with 8 minerals: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, and Zink. Eight is the number of everlasting life. It is a superfood.

The fruit is comprised of three layers, a hard, inedible outer husk, serving as a wall to protect the fruit. It takes some work to remove and then is discarded. There is a bitter and fleshy asymmetrical inner mesocarp beneath the harsh exterior. Then you have the treasure, the amazing berries containing the seeds which explode with flavor and nutrients. Ancient cultures used pomegranate to remedy digestive disorders, skin lesions, and internal parasites. Today it is prescribed to aid in fighting heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Used to decorate the columns leading into Yahowah’s Temple, there is every likelihood that the pomegranate was the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad. And so, it is interesting that there is a Babylonian god named after the rimown | pomegranate Satan encouraged 188Chawah to eat. This is especially so considering that she wanted to be like God and there is a crown on top of each fruit.

Moving on to the other half of the name, Yahowah listed the twelve tribes that would be derived from Ishmael, in Bare’syth / Genesis 25:12-16. Hadad is not only one of them, but this tribe also came to inhabit Palmyra, the Arabian home of the moon-god cult which inspired the Ka’aba, Mecca’s shrine to the moon deities: Allah, Al Lat, Minat, and Al Uzza. It was this pantheon that gave rise to Islam. Each was represented by a sacred stone placed in the Ka’aba. Appropriately, Allah lived in the Black Stone.

Ishmael’s firstborn was Nebaioth. Josephus identified him with the Nabataeans, people who lived in the Arabian Desert east of the Red Sea. They spoke Arabic and occupied what is today Mecca and Medina. After battling the Assyrians in 668 BCE and again in 703 BCE, these Hagarines (named after Ishmael’s mother) retreated into the Arabian Desert where they were safe from attack, but also isolated from the civilized world. Their only interaction with advanced cultures occurred as a result of camel caravans and trading. It was in this vacuum of knowledge and culture that Islam was born.

Megiddo is from Magidown, a compound term which conveys: “the gathering of armies who plot together in a conspiracy to penetrate, invade, and attack, and who upon banding together are assembled, cut down in mourning.” The combination then of “Har-Megiddo” is transliterated into English as “Armageddon” in Revelation, causing the place to garner a cult following.

Returning to Zakaryah, we discover that the world will be divided and torn apart at the terminus of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles…

“Then the Land and Earth (ha ‘erets – the region and material realm) shall mourn (saphad – shall be 189exceedingly emotional, sobbing ritualistically), with the nations and races, political and religious groups (mishphachah mishphachah – social and cultural entities with divided loyalties, families and clans, kingdoms and tribes, the common people and the aristocratic religious and political leaders; from my – to question shaphah – lip-service and verbose speeches, including divisive words which are laid bare and wind-swept) by themselves, boasting about their false prophets (bad – separated and isolated, still prideful with unwarranted confidence, placing their faith in that which is untrue, alone with some still bearing their crosses), the political and religious divisiveness along with the social and cultural institutions with their discordant rhetoric (mishphachah – the divided loyalties of the families and clans, the growing chasm between the common people and the aristocratic religious and political leaders; from my – to question shaphah – lip-service and verbose speeches, including divisive words which are laid bare and wind-swept) of the House of Dowd, a.k.a., Yisra’el (beyth Dowyd – the extended family of the Beloved which is racial and political Israel), isolated and by themselves boasting about their religious leaders (bad – separated and still prideful with unwarranted confidence, placing their faith in that which is untrue, alone with some still bearing their burdens), their women, ever prideful and mistaken, by themselves (‘ishah hem la bad), the political and religious divisiveness (mishphachah – the divided loyalties and growing schism between the common working people and the religious) of the House of Nathan (beyth Nathan – Gifted Family, a prophet who intervened between Dowd and Yahowah during the King’s latter years, and also one of Dowd’s sons) by itself (la bad) and their women by themselves (wa ‘ishah hem la bad), (Zakaryah 12:12) the divided loyalties and growing schism (mishphachah) of the House of Lowy (beyth Lowy – the son of Ya’aqob and Leah, the clan designated by 190Yahowah to unite and instruct the people), isolated by itself (la bad) along with their wives by themselves (wa ‘ishah hem la bad), as well as the divisive and discordant rhetoric (mishphachah) of the Shimi’y (Shimi’y – the descendants of Shimei, a Benjamite of the House of Sha’uwl who threw rocks at Dowd, then later apologized) separated and mistaken by themselves (la bad) along with their wives (wa ‘ishah hem la bad).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 12:13)

This is a multi-layered pronouncement. I suspect that the initial mention of ‘erets in this context can be read as either “the Land,” as in Yisra’el, or “the Earth.” Both shall mourn, albeit for some of the same reasons. The world is at war. Mankind has become ignorant and irrational, religious, political, conspiratorial, and militaristic. Currencies have been rendered worthless and the world’s economies are in shambles.

Mishphachah is equally adept at distinguishing between nations and races, political parties or religious institutions. These have run amok in Israel and elsewhere. Just as we have witnessed in America with the widening schism between liberal and conservative, Israel is unable to establish a stable government. And in these places where 80% of the Jewish population abides, there is an irreparable division between those who work and contribute, and those who do not, considering themselves entitled. Through it all there is nothing but lip service and divisive rhetoric.

While the world should be ashamed, there is an ever-growing, and yet completely unwarranted confidence. The boasting derived from placing one’s faith in false prophets has become particularly bad. And nowhere has blind faith in liars become more invasive than among the Haredi in Israel.

In this regard, it is useful to know that the Haredi are wholly dysfunctional, lacking everything other than 191arrogance and religious indoctrination. They value nothing beyond their Babylonian Talmud, which these incompetent and irrational nincompoops stupidly call “the Torah.” They are unemployable by design, a rabbinic plot to control every aspect of their lives. They are parasites, who will do nothing but cry when the world comes crashing down around them. Their women have no rights and have become as useless as the men. But sadly, like Muslims, they breed like rabbits, with an average of seven children per household. Currently at nearly 20% of Israeli Jews, and doubling every sixteen years, upon Yahowah’s return, a third of Israeli Jews will be unsalvageable and worthless – a blight on the House of Dowd. And they are as Yahowah has predicted, isolated and divisive crybabies.

Personally, I share Yahowah’s disgust for them, which is why I am glad that they no longer learn English. They have no way of understanding what we have written. And we are not alone. Secular Israelis have heard more than enough of their demeaning and condescending rhetoric and will not continue to support their nasty habits.

The creation of the religious welfare state is the dirty secret of Benjamin Netanyahu, who bribed the rabbis to garner their votes in the dysfunctional parliamentary system of Israeli governance. If there ever was a place of “mishphachah – political and religious divisiveness and discordant rhetoric, an unsurmountable chasm between working men and women and the hopelessly religious,” it is in Israel today. The Hasidic Haredim have “bad – isolated themselves by boasting about their religious leaders, they are separated and still prideful with unwarranted confidence, placing their faith in that which is untrue.”

And so now we know why Yahowah said such things of the House of Dowd, a.k.a., Yisra’el, as they are isolated and by themselves, placing their faith in their deceitful religious leaders. But what are we to make of the House of 192Nathan? Here we have two choices. On the positive side we have a prophet, a man who actually intervened between Dowd and Yahowah during the King’s decline in mental acuteness. He brought us one of the most important and misunderstood prophecies ever recorded – the one presented in Shamuw’el / 2^nd Samuel 7 – whose understanding is key to knowing the who, what, when, and why of the past and future.

And then there was the Nathan who was David’s son. This Nathan was the fourth born to Bathsheba and the eleventh, overall. But other than being listed among Dowd’s progeny, nothing is said of him. And yet we know that the seed of Bathsheba is tainted. The way Dowd acquired her hand in marriage was exceedingly offensive to Yahowah, in that he sent a good man off to war, expecting him to die, so that he could take his wife. Their firstborn died as a result, even before he could be named. The second was Solomon, whose lust for power, wealth, and women proved corrupt.

In that bad is a divisive and isolating term, perhaps it is this very distinction, of the product of a prophet or the effect of lust that we are to contemplate and compare. Such are the mishphachah divided loyalties of the House of Nathan.

There are two other names in this prophecy, and again, they provide a contrast considering what they represent. Yahowah chose the Lowy to serve His people. Their role was to help everyone understand the Towrah and capitalize upon the Mow’ed Miqra’ey. Their purpose was ultimately negated, not by God but instead by the wiles of men. The priests became corrupt, something which became especially apparent during the row between Jezebel and Elijah. They were better off dead. And later, rabbis would replace them, claiming their authority for themselves.

193Shimi’y | Shimei started off badly and then became duplicitous. He is known for throwing dirt into the air and stones at Dowd. He was a Benjamite of the House of Sha’uwl. In him we see Sha’uwl | Paul who did far worse than cloud the air while seeking the demise of Dowd. He wrote and spoke the most duplicitous and divisive mishphachah religious and political rhetoric conceivable. He was bad – arrogant and dishonest, writing letters and inspiring gospels which would lead directly to this showdown between the Benjamite and Yahowah’s Lowy on Kipurym.

This journey through time has been worth the toll of our time…

“This is the prophetic pronouncement (masa’) of Yahowah’s (Yahowah) Word (dabar) concerning (‘al) Yisra’el (Yisra’el): Yahowah (Yahowah), who spread out and curved (natah) the universe (shamaym), and established (yasad) the Earth (‘erets), and who shaped the impulse for (yatsar) the Spirit (ruwach) inside (ba qereb) ‘Adam | humankind (‘adam), predicts (na’um), (Zakaryah 12:1) ‘Behold (hineh), I am preserving (sym) Yaruwshalaim (‘eth Yaruwshalaim) as the threshold and doorway (saph) of reeling and staggering intoxication (ra’al) for all of the surrounding people (la kol ha ‘am sabyb) and also for those against (wa gam ‘al) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah).

This will exist during (hayah ba) the siege, the methodical confining and process of surrounding the city and blocking off access during this time of trouble (ha matsowr), against (‘al) Yaruwshalaim | the Source of Instruction on Reconciliation (Yaruwshalaim). (Zakaryah 12:2)

It shall be (wa hayah) during this time (ba ha yowm ha huw’) that I will cause (sym) Yaruwshalaim (‘eth Yaruwshalaim) to be an immovable stone and difficult 194challenge (‘eben ma’amasah) for all of these people (la kol ha ‘am).

Everyone who attempts to move it (kol ‘amas hy’) will lacerate and impale themselves (sarat sarat). And yet (wa), gentiles from every ethnicity, nation, religion, and place on Earth (kol gowym ha ‘erets) will gather against it (‘asaph ‘al hy’). (Zakaryah 12:3)

During that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’),’ Yahowah (Yahowah) declares prophetically (na’um), ‘I will strike and destroy (nakah) every (kol) fast-moving and flying weapon of war (suws) by confusing (ba ha timahown) the drivers (wa rakab huw’), causing them to be irrational and erratic (shiga’own).

So, for the sake of the House (wa ‘al beyth) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah), I will keep My eyes open (paqach ‘eth ‘ayn ‘any), and therefore (wa), every one of these peoples’ (kol ha ‘am) fast-moving and flying weapons of war (suws) I will afflict (nakah) with the inability to see (ba ha ‘iwrown). (Zakaryah 12:4)

Then the close friends and lovers (wa ‘aluwph) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah) will use their best judgment (ba leb hem) to say (‘amar), “For me (la ‘any), those who live and remain in (yashab) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) are supported and empowered, strengthened, equipped, and enabled (‘amtsah) by (ba) Yahowah (Yahowah), their God (‘elohym hem), and His conscripts who assist (tsaba’).” (Zakaryah 12:5)

In that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), I will cause (sym) the close friends, related family, and lovers (‘eth ‘aluwph) of Yahuwdah | the Beloved of Yah (Yahuwdah) to be like (ka) a flaming pulpit (kyowr ‘esh) in the timbers (ba ‘ets), and like a blazing torch (laphyd ‘eth) among stalks of fallen grain (ba ‘amyr).

195And they will devour them (wa ‘akal) to the right and to the left (‘al yamyn wa ‘al sama’owl), enveloping all of the surrounding armies and peoples (‘eth kol ha ‘am sabyb), while Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) shall continue to be inhabited, now and forevermore (wa yashab ‘owd), succeeding, with one thing logically following another, through time (tachath) in (ba) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim).’ (Zakaryah 12:6)

Yahowah (YaHoWaH) will rescue and deliver, save and protect (yasha’), Yahuwdah’s (Yahuwdah) homes and households (‘ohel) first and foremost, and in the initial phase (ba ha ri’shown), so that (la ma’an) the honor and glory (tiph’areth) of the House (beyth) of Dowd (Dowd) and the splendor (wa tiph’areth) of the inhabitants of (yashab) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) are not surpassed by (lo’ gadal) Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah). (Zakaryah 12:7)

On that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), Yahowah () will defend (ganan) the inhabitants of (yashab) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) and have their backs (ba’ad).

So, it will exist (wa hayah) that the wavering and weak-kneed (kashal) among them (ba hem) on that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’) will be likened unto (ka) Dowyd (Dowyd), and the House of Dowyd (wa beyth Dowyd) will be like God (ka ‘elohym), similar to a spiritual implement and heavenly messenger (ka mal’ak) of Yahowah (Yahowah) in their appearance (la paneh hem). (Zakaryah 12:8)

‘And it will come about (wa hayah) at that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’) that I will seek to hold responsible and thus accountable, thereby choosing (baqash) to decimate and exterminate (la shamad), all of (kol) the Gentiles (ha gowym) who will have come against (ha 196bow’ ‘al) Yaruwshalaim | Source of Guidance on Reconciliation (Yaruwshalaim). (Zakaryah 12:9)

And I will pour out (wa shaphak) upon (‘al – over) the House (beyth) of Dowyd (Dowyd), and on the inhabitants of (‘al yashab) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim), the Spirit (ruwach) of genuine mercy, compassion, loyal love, and favorable acceptance (chen), pleading for clemency and forgiveness (tachanuwn).

So they will look (nabat) to Me (‘el ‘any) accompanied by (‘esh ‘asher) the one they have pierced (daqar), and they will lament, being exceedingly emotional (wa saphad) over him (‘al huw’) as one shrieks (ka misphed) when reunited with someone special, making the family whole (‘al ha yachyd), anguished (wa marar) over him (‘al huw’) as one despairs (ka marar) over the firstborn (‘al ha bakor). (Zakaryah 12:10)

At that time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), the shrieks and shouts (ha misphed) will be loud and mournful (gadal) in Yaruwshalaim (ba Yaruwshalaim), will be like (ka) the outcry (ha misphed) of Hadad Rimown (Hadad Rimown) in the valley (baq’ah) of Megiddo | the gathering, invading, penetrating, and attacking of innumerable troops (Magidown). (Zakaryah 12:11)

Then the Land and Earth (ha ‘erets) shall mourn (saphad), with the nations and races, political and religious groups (mishphachah mishphachah) by themselves, boasting about their false prophets (bad), the political and religious divisiveness along with the social and cultural institutions (mishphachah) of the House of Dowd, a.k.a., Yisra’el (beyth Dowyd), isolated and by themselves boasting regarding their religious leaders with undue confidence (bad), their women, ever prideful and mistaken, by themselves (‘ishah hem la 197bad), the political and religious dissention and the discordant rhetoric (mishphachah) of the House of Nathan (beyth Nathan) by itself (la bad), and their women by themselves (wa ‘ishah hem la bad), (Zakaryah 12:12) the divided loyalties and growing schism (mishphachah) of the House of Lowy (beyth Lowy), isolated by itself (la bad) along with their wives by themselves (wa ‘ishah hem la bad), and also the disruptive and contentious prose (mishphachah) of the Shimi’y, the Benyamite of the House of Sha’uwl who threw rocks at Dowd (Shimi’y) separated and mistaken by themselves (la bad), along with their wives (wa ‘ishah hem la bad).” (Zakaryah 12:13)

It is a time like none other.
