Kipurym | Reconciliations
Coming Home…
More than anything, Yahowah wants His people to know the truth. It is the only cure for what ails them and the only way to survive the onslaught which is headed their way.
“During that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’) there will be (hayah) a resource opened eliciting a response (maqowr patach – a fountain and wellspring which is released, flowing for all to hear and respond) for the House of Dowd (la beyth Dowyd – for a united Yisra’el representing the Family of the Beloved) and for the inhabitants of Yaruwshalaim (wa la yashab Yaruwshalaim) to reconcile having been misdirected and wrong (chata’ch – to purify those who had previously missed the way) and to purge detestable corruption (wa la nidah – to resolve being defiled and filthy because of being common and polluted, immoral, idolatrous, especially impure).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:1)
Yisra’elites will be afforded a “maqowr patach – resource which will be released for all to hear and respond.” Its purpose will be to help those comprising the House of Dowd to “chata’ch – reconcile the fact that they have been misled and are thus wrong.” This resource, one provided courtesy of Yahowah, will “la nidah – help purge the detestable corruptions common among Jews, which have served to defile them.” I hope they consider what we have discovered.
201“‘And it shall come to exist (wa hayah) on that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’),’ prophetically declares (na’um) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence) of the spiritual implements (tsaba’ – of the vast array of heavenly messengers), ‘I will uproot and banish (karat – I will sever and remove) that which is associated with the names (‘eth shem – the designations, renown, fame, and reputations) of the vexing idolatrous images and displeasing objects of religious veneration (‘atsab – manmade relics used during worship and images of reverence; from ‘atsab – to vex, displease, harm, and grieve) from (min) the Land and Earth (‘erets – this region and the world) so that they are no longer recalled, proclaimed, or remembered (wa lo’ zakar – no longer invoked, spoken about, or mentioned) ever again (‘owd – forevermore).
Moreover (wa gam), those who claim to have been inspired such that they speak for God (‘eth ha naby’ – men who profess to be spiritual spokespeople and who speak as authoritative messengers regarding the past or future), along with the infamous and religiously defiling spirit (wa ‘eth ruwach ha tuma’ah – in addition to the notoriously inappropriate and completely unsuitable, unclean and unethical spirit), I will invalidate and banish (‘abar – I will repeal and punish, disrobing with great animosity) from the Land and Earth (min ‘erets).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:2)
This prophecy is akin to Yahowah’s statement in Howsha’, whereby He says that upon His return, He will never have to endure “Ba’al | the Lord’s name or title spoken again.”
God cares so little for religion, there is no standalone Hebrew word to express the concept. For those who believe 202that God has ordained their faith, this deficiency in terminology should be troubling.
While there is no Hebrew word for religion, this does not keep God from denouncing the practice. ‘Atsab describes “displeasing objects of religious veneration.” Therefore, Yahowah is removing anything and everything which “elicits worship.” The most vexing of those to be banished by the Almighty will be crosses, particularly those revealing a dead and tortured god nailed to a stick. Statues of Mary, Stars of David, and crescent moons will be next. As for the names He will eliminate from man’s lexicon, they begin with Jesus Christ, the Lord, HaShem, and Allah. When God is done, there will be no memory of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.
There are two types of people who assert that they speak for God: the religious and the political. Both will be invalidated and banished. And isn’t it ironic considering that, those having claimed to have been chosen by God, the opposite is true?
The reason that clerics such as these end up locked away in She’owl is that God deems them to have associated themselves with the “ruwach ha tuma’ah – religiously defiling spirit.” As such, popes and priests, rabbis and imams, preachers and pastors will be eternally incarcerated in She’owl. Leading people away from God is not a victimless crime.
Up until the point of Yahowah’s return on Yowm Kipurym, it behooves God’s people for us to expose and condemn all aspects of religion, including besmirching the names and titles attributed to their venerated objects of worship. But once Yahowah cleans house, they will no longer exist to trouble anyone.
With every religious symbol and proponent eliminated, malcontents will be few and far between. New 203souls conceived during the ‘Eden years will still enjoy freewill, so there will be those who choose to go rogue.
“It shall come to pass (wa hayah) that if anyone (ky ‘ysh) claims to speak as a prophet (naba’ – claims to communicate the past or future) again (‘owd – thereafter), then his father (wa ‘ab huw’) and his mother (wa ‘em huw’) will say (‘amar) to the child they conceived and bore (la huw’ yalad), ‘You shall not continue to live (lo’ chayah – you will not have your life restored or preserved (qal imperfect)), for indeed (ky) you speak (dabar – you have told (piel perfect)) lies (seqer – that which is misleading and deceives, testify falsely, disappointing and betraying others for no reason) in the name, place, and reputation (shem – in the proper designation, location, and renown) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence).’
Then his father (wa ‘ab huw’) and his mother (wa ‘em huw’), who conceived and bore him (yalad huw’), (daqar) will pierce him (daqar huw’ – will revile him) along with what he predicts (ba naby’ huw’ – including what he claims will occur).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:3)
This statement answers a number of questions. First, children will be conceived and born during the Millennial Shabat. This would strongly infer that there will be sex, which is a good thing for those of us who like it.
Second, there will be freewill, even when we are living in proximity to Yahowah and under Dowd’s dominion. During that time, stupid will exist, but it will be short-lived.
Third, our experiences in eternity will not be scripted or preordained. Our future is whatever we choose. And therefore, it would be an infringement on our freewill for someone to predict one outcome versus another.
204Fourth, since prophecy exists to validate the Word of God, such that we can determine what Yahowah inspired, and differentiate it from that which He did not say, we will not be needing proof of authenticity in eternity. We will receive Yahowah’s guidance from an unassailable source – with much of it integrated into the fabric of our lives.
Fifth, families will be part of our tomorrow. We will know the joys of raising children.
Sixth, while the Covenant is forever, each new soul will have the same opportunity we have been afforded, which is to accept or reject God. And there will continue to be a less desirable outcome for those who choose poorly.
And seventh, we will be judgmental and discerning in the hereafter. These parents are shown deciding the fate of their child.
To maintain ‘Eden-like conditions, false teachers will be eliminated swiftly, so that they do not inspire a rebellion, causing another fall. Deceit leads to separation and death. For the sake of the many, the most merciful thing to do is to eradicate evil’s host before others are infected. Had this been done with Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad, billions of souls would not have been damned by their lies.
“On that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), the individual (‘ysh) claiming to be able to foretell the future and speak for God (ha naby’ – the prophet contemplating proclaiming a spiritual message) will (hayah) know that it is wrong and will be too ashamed (bowsh – be aware of the mistake and disapproval and will be too embarrassed) to share their revelation or dream (chizayowm huw’ – to convey his vision of what they perceive to be true; from chazah – to perceive the future) through a prophecy (ba naba’ huw’ – while under the influence of a spirit as a prophet).
205He will not play religious dress-up (wa lo’ labash ‘aderth se’ar – he will not be putting on the involuntary and familiar, destructive and horrible clothing, coats, and robes) in order to deceive (la ma’an kachash – to deny reality while dealing falsely, becoming emaciated and cowardly while causing others to cringe).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:4)
If only Paul and Muhammad had shown such discretion. They knew that they were wrong, that it was all a lie, but knew no shame.
The same is true with the majority of rabbis, priests, and imams. They realize that their religious beliefs are irrational, but the lie has become a source of income and prestige. The more popular the huckster, the more you can be assured they are part of the con, beginning with the chief rabbis and ayatollahs, the popes and televangelists.
I have sensed it for a long time, but now I am certain of it: God despises religious dress-up. It does not matter if it is a pious Muslim woman sporting a tent, an emaciated and emasculated Orthodox Jew shuffling around in his black mourning clothes, or the popes, cardinals, and priests in their white, red, and black robes – it is all disgusting to God. They are all playing a part, and each role was conceived to deceive.
What is tragic about this realization is that millions of Jews have been robbed, raped, and murdered because of the way they dressed. And to know now that it was equally offensive to God makes it all a crying shame. That does not excuse the perpetrators, because they will be exterminated, but it does speak volumes of the men who manipulated their brethren to dress religiously – beginning with the God-damned kippah, or in Yiddish, yarmulke. It is the numbskull notion of halachic rabbis, beginning with the Rambam. It was mandated in the 17th century by Rabbi David Segal, the “Taz,” explicitly to have Jews look 206different than Gentiles. It then became a target, one self-imposed, unlike the yellow stars commanded by Hitler.
It is one thing to avoid emulating the religious and political notions of the gowym, and another entirely to capitulate to their religious edicts. The skullcap is not Jewish at all but instead a product of Roman Catholicism. In 1215, the Fourth Council of the Lateran mandated that all adult male Jews wear a cornutus | skullcap outside of the ghetto to distinguish them from others.
Yahowah is continuing to excoriate religion. He has told us that He will rid the world of religious icons, religious names, religious prophets, and religious dress-up. Now having told us about his intolerance for the plague of religion, He transitions from the atypical antagonist during the Millennial Kingdom to the men who inspired such nonsense.
“So (wa) he will say (‘amar), ‘I am not a prophet (lo’ naby’). I am an individual (‘anoky ‘ysh – a person) who serves (‘abad – who works on behalf of, serving as a servant to) the realm of mankind (‘adamah – the descendants of ‘Adam, the soil of the earth, or the world).
Indeed (ky), from (min) my youth (na’uwrym ‘any – my childhood), I have made merchandise of (qanah ‘any – I have bought and sold, acquired and owned, purchased and possessed) men (‘adam – humankind).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:5)
As an interesting fact, neither Paul, Akiba, nor Muhammad claimed to be prophets. They all lacked the God-given ability to validate their claims in the manner of Yahowah’s naby’, who accurately presented past, present, and future events. This deficiency in their resumés, however, did not preclude them from making grandiose claims about serving all mankind. Further, each claimed that they were chosen by God earlier in their lives.
207Paul begat the wealthiest religion, Muhammad the deadliest, and Akiba the most menacing for Jews. He brought the wrath of Rome upon his people over his promotion of a false Messiah, leading to the Diaspora and his people’s enslavement. Paul’s religion would see that the Jews would be blamed for their own demise and duly degraded and tortured for crimes they did not commit. And Muhammad, “Peace be upon him,” made certain that the Jews who survived the onslaught of the Roman Catholic Church would be annihilated.
While I could have translated the second sentence: “I am an individual who works the soil,” I did not for two reasons. Since Hebrew has a specific word for “cultivated land, field, or tilled soil,” I’m convinced God would have used it instead of ‘adamah if He wanted to suggest that the false prophet was a “farmer.” Therefore, I rendered ‘adamah with its secondary meaning which is the “realm of mankind.” This is further advanced by the context and the choice of ‘ysh and ‘adam on either side of ‘adamah. Moreover, religious types are keen on claiming that they are servants, working on behalf of their fellow man. But truth be known, they are making merchandise of men. Deception is their way of making a living.
Qanah can mean “have bought or sold, have acquired or owned, have purchased or possessed,” and thus, “having made merchandise” of men. It is the whore’s way.
Yahowah is now leveling His sights on the men who conceived the religions which have diseased, devastated, and decimated His people. After having explained that religious rhetoric will not be tolerated in His presence, He is exposing the souls that He will judge and condemn for having brought the world to its knees, figuratively and literally.
After having written In The Company, Tea with Terrorists, and Prophet of Doom, now presented as God 208Damn Religion, and then having completed the ‘Azab | Forsaken volume of Yada Yahowah on Howsha’ | Hosea, I knew enough to confront Christian, Jewish, and Islamic leaders on the immorality of leading the faithful astray for money and prestige. To a person, they all acknowledged that what I had learned was true and that it invalidated their religious claims. But not one would tell their people because it was bad for business.
Digging deeper into the swamp that had given rise to their diabolical schemes, it was by studying the founders of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, that I discovered they were all insecure narcissists. And while that may sound like an oxymoron, a 2021 collaborative study, led by Dr. Pascal Wallisch, conducted by New York University and the Center for Data Science, proved what I had concluded from the evidence.
With Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad, narcissism provided a lustrous varnish to hide otherwise hideous souls. Like religion, it was all a pretense – done to keep up appearances. Knowing that their inner persona was unworthy, they saw no value in others, which led to a lack of empathy. And without concern for anyone, the most conniving and calculating narcissists became psychopaths and they started the religions of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
This is not my opinion but instead the evidence-based conclusion drawn from the words and deeds of these men. You will find proof in Twistianity, God Damn Religion, and the Miqra’ey | Invitations, Qatsyr | Harvests, and Mow’ed | Appointments volumes of Yada Yahowah. And I share this with you now in the midst of Yahowah’s rebuke of religion because I concur with the Almighty. I have seen what He was predicting. I recognize the harm that has been done as a consequence of men, without moral constraint, lying about God. They have made merchandise of men.
209Since Yahowah has mentioned Satan’s involvement with them, referring to him as the “infamously defiling religious spirit,” it is germane to know that two of these men, Paul and Muhammad, both admitted to being demon-possessed. Satan is the reason that these garden-variety insecure narcissists and psychopaths became two of the most infamous and influential individuals in human history. Satan told them what they wanted to hear, what resonated within them, which is why there is no distinction between Paul and Muhammad and the gods of which they spoke. They are the gods of Christianity and Islam, just as Akiba and his ilk are worshiped by the Haredi.
In this light, it is with the sense of satisfaction for having figured it out, and the revulsion of realizing the consequence, that I bring you God’s next declarative statement. Still speaking to the men who gave birth to religion, Yahowah reveals…
“So if someone asks him (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’), ‘What is this plague (mah ha makah ‘ha ‘eleh – why is there such affliction and loss of life, how is it that so many are impaired and slaughtered, what is the reason behind this devastating pandemic) that you have influenced (bayn yad ‘atah – that your associations, your connections between one thing and another have led to you manipulating everything under your control)?’
And he will say (wa ‘amar) regarding these associations and this path through life (‘asher), ‘I was overwhelmed and stricken (nakah – I was possessed and controlled, battered, conquered, and infirmed) in the house (beyth – in the family and household) of the one who appreciates and desires me (‘ahab ‘any – the one who formed a relationship with me, who has sought to associate with me because he finds me desirable, and who claims to love me).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:6)
210Religions are a plague, the most viral and mortal pandemic to inflict mankind. Affirming this, Yahowah calls Sha’uwl, who became Paul, and conceived the deadliest and most pervasive of these: the Plague of Death.
Religion is from the hand of man, not God. It is the product of “babel bayn | confusing and jaundiced associations and bogus bewildering connections. Religious lies are made to appear credible by the way they are presented in the New Testament, Talmud, and Quran. All three cite from Yahowah’s Towrah and Prophets, twisting and convoluting God’s message to give their putrid deceptions a veneer of authenticity. The text of the Prophets is misappropriated and misquoted and then intermixed with religious delusions throughout the Scriptures of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
As insecure narcissists, Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad were looking for love and adoration in all the wrong places. And they found it feigned by Satan, whose actual empathy was similarly compromised. It is why I shared what I had discovered about them.
Therefore, in these words, we are witnessing something tragic. The men responsible for crippling humankind are passing the buck, saying that the plagues they perpetrated were not their fault. They are claiming that it was Satan who overwhelmed them by possessing them, and that the resulting chaos was the Devil’s doing. If you recall, Chawah foisted the same excuse in the Garden. Yahowah did not accept it then, nor will He now.
This has been breathtaking in its implications. I am grateful to Yah for having thought to share this with us. For His people to accept Him, they must first reject the religious influences in their lives and these insights serve that purpose.
As we press on through this prophetic portrait of the last days, and what has led to them, we find very little 211correlation between the lexicon definitions of the terms found in the Hebrew text and the way they are rendered in English Bible translations. Their expressions are rendered absurd by the context of this discussion. So, I am going to err on the side of caution and provide you with every conceivable alternative for each word.
In that regard, while considering the next statement, be aware that chereb can be translated many different ways, including to denote the Mountain of God where Yahowah and His Towrah were revealed. Further, ‘awar means “to blind, to be blinded, to give false testimony, to be fooled by it, or to be malicious and unjust.” The same letters, vocalized ‘uwr, mean “to arouse, to incite, and to stir up.”
Therefore, I think Yahowah is telling the likes of Paul, Akiba, and Muhammad that, while they have made merchandise of men, He is not buying their excuse.
“‘You have chosen to blind by giving false testimony (‘awar – of your own freewill, you have individually made the choice to be unjust and to gloat over your decision to be malicious, and there will be no hiding from the deceptions you have stirred up (qal imperative)) chiseling away at Choreb (chereb – to render a dagger and chisel, taking captives by the sword, creating devastation and desolation through inscription, wasting what was gained upon Choreb, leaving decay and dung in its place) in opposition to My shepherd (‘al ra’ah ‘any – against the one who leads My flock, feeding and protecting My sheep) and against the empowered and strong man (wa ‘al geber – in opposition to the great and mighty person who fights and prevails; from gabar – to succeed and to confirm and directly related to gibowr – the strong and mighty, upright and valiant, courageous man of character who battles to protect) who serves as My associate (‘amyth ‘any – who is engaged in a close, personal relationship with Me, My comrade and champion),’ prophetically declares (na’um), Yahowah ( – the 212pronunciation of YaHoWaH as guided by His towrah – teaching) of the vast array of spiritual implements and heavenly messengers (tsaba’).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:7)
To state this a different way: Satan was the beneficiary, not the cause, of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Socialist Secular Humanism. Paul, Akiba, Muhammad, and Marx were not deprived of freewill. They chose to deceive and to associate with the Deceiver. The Devil did not make them do it.
‘Awar written in the qal imperative, such that, when coupled with chereb, reveals God’s assessment of religious leaders. They have deliberately blinded the masses by having conjured up false testimony to chisel away at the Towrah revealed upon Choreb. They individually chose to be deceptive, and then gloat over their maliciousness, taking a dagger to the truth, inscribing that which would squander God’s teaching.
They did not attack God alone but took aim at His Shepherd and associate, the Mashyach and Melek, Dowd. Rabbis have drowned out his lyrics with their own. Seeking veneration for themselves, they do not acknowledge Dowd as their Shepherd, Messiah, or King – much less Zarowa’ and Savior.
As for Paul, he would build his edifice by doing away with Dowd, literally burying him, such that he could transfer everything Yahowah said about His Son to the caricature he had conceived in Jesus Christ. And once he had replaced Dowd with the mythical misnomer Jesus, he replaced Jews with Gentiles.
However, their ruse is over because Yahowah is returning with His Ra’ah | Shepherd and geber ‘amyth | His personal associate and leading man, none other than the actual Mashyach and Ben ‘Elohym, the Ra’ah and Melek, His Beloved, Dowd – the Zarowa’.
213This is all to say, there will be no excuses for the religious, for those following a false prophet, for those playing religious dress-up, for those identifying with religious objects like crosses, or for those who do not recognize Yahowah’s Shepherd and Associate.
Now, I need to apologize. I did not see any of this while initially translating or writing Yada Yahowah. It was not until my wife, the most brilliant and beautiful Jewess the world has ever known, shamed me into rewriting everything I had written in Yada Yahowah, An Introduction to God, Observations, Babel, and Twistianity after composing Coming Home, that I was able to render this accurately and comment accordingly. I did my best, but I simply did not know enough at the time to appreciate what Yahowah was revealing.
Better late than never. With this being my 8th review of this material, hopefully, it will stand the test of time. It certainly reads that way to me. But if not, I’ll use what we continue to learn to make the necessary corrections.
Over the past twenty-three years, we have been exposed to the best of the Word and the worst of man. We have learned and grown. Some days are inspiring and enlightening, especially liberating and enriching, and others are better. This day, these insights have been among the most rewarding.
A religious battle is being waged against the backdrop of Yahowah’s return to Earth. The false prophets who have led His sheep to their slaughter will lose because when it comes to protecting Yisra’el, Dowd never fails.
“When you choose to strike the Shepherd (nakah ‘eth ha ra’ah – if you choose to kill the Shepherd, destroying what the Shepherd represents (hifil imperative)), then the sheep are scattered and attacked (wa puwts ha tso’n – a violent and chaotic consequence will continually befall the flock as the sheep are pushed 214away and dispersed by that decision (qal imperfect jussive)).
But then (wa) I will return, using My hand, to bring restoration (shuwb yad ‘any – after having turned away, I will come back, using My influence to change and bring back, offering a renewed opportunity (hifil perfect)) upon (‘al) these little ones (ha tsa’ar – those in the flock who have been trivialized as insignificant and are not properly appreciated).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:7)
When the rabbis placed themselves and their words over God, they lost sight of Dowd, too. And it was by failing to consider his example, that the sheep were scattered.
The corollary is also true. It is by coming to appreciate Yahowah’s Chosen One, His Beloved Son, the Messiah and King, the Shepherd and Branch, God’s Firstborn and His Associate, the Prophet who was Right, that we find the Hand of God returning to bring restoration. It is what we learned by translating Yasha’yah | Isaiah for Observations and by contemplating the Mizmowr | Psalms for Coming Home. It is God’s constant message from Moseh to Mal’aky.
In the next prophetic statement, the “‘erets – Land” is likely a reference to Yisra’el and thus to Yahuwdym | Jews. Sadly, two-thirds of those who were alive at the beginning of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles in May 2026, will now be gone by October 2033. As bad as that seems, with the demise of 10 million Jews, their death will be at the hand of man, not God.
The one-third spared comprises the remnant who will either avail themselves of the sacrifice of the Red Heifer or die with the fallen chaff. Having done the math to exclude the overtly political and religious, and those who will not heed Yahowah’s call to flee the anti-Semitic carnage 215sweeping the planet and return home, the reconciled remnant will be no more than 700,000 and no less than 7,000 depending upon the people’s attitude and choices. Jews have proven that they can be irascible and stubborn.
“‘It shall come to exist (wa hayah) in the whole (ba kol – within the entire) Land (ha ‘erets – the region or Earth),’ prophetically predicts (na’um) Yahowah (Yahowah – written as directed by His towrah – teaching), ‘the portion according to the word is that two-thirds (peh shana’ym ba hy’) shall be cut off and eliminated (karath – will be uprooted and banished, cut down and killed), perishing (gawa’ – expiring and dying, having breathed their last) and (wa) one-third (ha shalyshy) will be the remnant spared and preserved of them (yathar ba hy’ – will survive and remain with them).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:8)
There are several reasons that ‘erets is translated as “Land” rather than Earth. First, that is the word’s primary meaning. Second, Yahowah has been speaking to the House of Dowd, to Yahuwdym, and to those living within Yaruwshalaim. And third, the world at large is not going to fare nearly this well. It is more likely that one in a million of the 8 billion gowym alive today will be among those spared by their choices relative to the Beryth and Miqra’ey, Yahowah and Dowd, the Towrah and Yahuwdym. Moreover, we are observing Yowm Kipurym – which is about the restoration and reconciliation of Yisra’el and Yahuwdah with Yahowah. This is the Family Reunion in Yaruwshalaim.
Keep in mind, by this time a third of Jews will be too religious to listen. Another third will be too progressive and political to consider Yahowah. Another segment of the population will be too preoccupied, leaving no more than twenty percent of the remnant salvageable. So, God is not saving every Jew, just all of those who can be spared. These 216are the ones who will look upon Yahowah as the family is reunited.
Fire, in this case, is used metaphorically in the crucible of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles...
“‘I will come to and be included among (bow’ – I will return to pursue, include, and harvest) this one-third (‘eth ha shalyshy). In the fire (ba ha ‘esh), I will purge and refine them, perfecting them (wa tsaraph hem – I will remove their impurities making them flawless, refined and valuable) as one refines (ka tsaraph – purifies and perfects by removing the impurities from) silver (‘eth ha kesep – something highly desired and valuable) and tests them (wa bachan hem – observes, examines, and assesses them, testing and verifying their authenticity and genuineness) as one assesses the authenticity of gold (ka bachan ‘eth ha zahab).
They will individually offer a summons and a welcome, calling out in (huw’ qara’ ba – each will consistently call upon, invite, proclaim, read aloud, and recite in (qal imperfect)) My personal and proper name (shem), and I, Myself, will answer them (wa ‘any ‘anah ‘eth huw’ – I will reply and respond to each of them).
I will say (‘amar – I will acknowledge and confess), “Each one (huw’) is My family (‘am – is My people).” And he or she will individually say (wa huw’ ‘amar – confess), “Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of , our ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) is my God (‘elohym ‘any).”’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 13:9)
Yahowah is not only returning for His People and coming back to Yaruwshalaim, He will be included among them.
217God is not, however, lowering His standards nor changing His approach. Those who are accepted will have passed His test, just as was done by ‘Abraham. And yet, being right is not difficult because His is an open-book test in the fullest sense of the word. Having read these books, you know the answers.
Our mettle is tested, and our character refined and forged in the crucibles of our day. Such was the case with Dowd. It is by overcoming challenges and prevailing when others are hesitant that we develop the confidence and courage, the sense of adventure, that Yahowah finds appealing.
It is also in a crucible that we are purged of religious and political dross, perfected because God values our company. The observant are examined and their authenticity is assessed. And that is as it should be because, if God allowed everyone who asked to be included in His Family into heaven, it would be no better than hell, and the hereafter no different than the here and now.
So much for Jews writing “G-d,” saying “Ha Shem” or “the Lord.” On this day, Yahowah’s name will be on the lips and in the hearts of Yahuwdym. The very act of summoning Yahowah by name will demonstrate that these Jews are different, that their thinking, perspectives, and attitudes have changed radically. They will reject Judaism’s prohibition against actually saying Yahowah’s name, and in the process, they will form a personal relationship with God. They will become Covenant.
Yahowah is referring to the divorce decree He issued through Howsha’ | Hosea. He is announcing that it is over. This is the family reunion foretold in connection with Yowm Kipurym.
Out of the Holocaust, Israel was restored, so out of the ashes of war led by the Towrahless One, Yahuwdym will be reunited with God.
218Having been blinded since the days of Yasha’yah | Isaiah and divorced since the words of Howsha’ | Hosea, the Chosen People are together again.
This is an inappropriate place to insert a chapter break because the scene has not changed. But nonetheless, the Christians who provided these contrivances decided to begin the 14th chapter of Zakaryah | Zechariah by affirming that this is all occurring on Yowm Kipurym | the Day of Reconciliations…
“Behold (hineh – open your eyes, look up, pay attention, and see), a day (yowm – a time) of return is coming (bow’ – will arrive for inclusion and a harvest) to approach (la) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH – existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration).
And then (wa), that which is good and valuable (shalal – property and possessions, that which is enriching and beneficial) will be apportioned and assigned (chalaq – will be dispersed and distributed) to you in your midst (‘ath ba qereb ‘ath).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:1)
The apportionment of that which is good and valuable could mean any one or all of three things. First, they will be receiving the benefits of the Covenant. Second, during the Millennial Shabat, each of the twelve tribes will be reassigned the land which was originally granted to them. Or third, the property stolen from Jews throughout history, beginning with the Egyptians, will be returned.
Here then is the prelude to Reconciliations…
“During that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’) there will be (hayah) a resource opened eliciting a response (maqowr patach) for the House of Dowd, addressing a united Yisra’el (la beyth Dowyd) and for the inhabitants 219of Yaruwshalaim (wa la yashab Yaruwshalaim) to reconcile, having been misdirected and wrong (chata’ch), and to purge detestable corruption (wa la nidah). (Zakaryah 13:1)
‘And it shall come to exist (wa hayah) on that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’),’ prophetically declares (na’um) Yahowah (YaHoWaH) of the spiritual implements (tsaba’), ‘I will uproot and banish (karat) that which is associated with the names (‘eth shem) of the vexing idolatrous images and displeasing objects of religious veneration (‘atsab) from (min) the Land and Earth (‘erets) so that they are no longer recalled, proclaimed, or remembered (wa lo’ zakar) ever again (‘owd).
Moreover (wa gam), those who claim to have been inspired such that they speak for God (‘eth ha naby’), along with the infamous and religiously defiling spirit (wa ‘eth ruwach ha tuma’ah), I will invalidate and banish (‘abar) from the Land and Earth (min ‘erets).’ (Zakaryah 13:2)
It shall come to pass (wa hayah) that if anyone (ky ‘ysh) claims to speak as a prophet (naba’) again (‘owd), then his father (wa ‘ab huw’) and his mother (wa ‘em huw’) will say (‘amar) to the child they conceived and bore (la huw’ yalad), ‘You shall not continue to live (lo’ chayah), for indeed (ky) you speak (dabar) lies, having testified falsely, betraying others for no reason (seqer) in the name, place, and reputation (shem) of Yahowah (YaHoWaH).’
Then his father (wa ‘ab huw’) and his mother (wa ‘em huw’), who conceived and bore him (yalad huw’), (daqar) will revile and pierce him (daqar huw’) along with what he predicts (ba naby’ huw’). (Zakaryah 13:3)
On that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), the individual (‘ysh) claiming to be able to foretell the future and speak for God (ha naby’) will (hayah) know that it is 220wrong and will be too ashamed (bowsh) to share his or her revelation or dream (chizayowm huw’) through a prophecy (ba naba’ huw’).
He will not play religious dress-up (wa lo’ labash ‘aderth se’ar) in order to deceive while denying reality, becoming emaciated and cowardly while others cringe (la ma’an kachash). (Zakaryah 13:4)
So (wa) he will say (‘amar), ‘I am not a prophet (lo’ naby’). I am an individual (‘anoky ‘ysh) who serves (‘abad) the realm of mankind (‘adamah).
Indeed (ky), from (min) my youth (na’uwrym ‘any), I have made merchandise of (qanah ‘any) men (‘adam).’ (Zakaryah 13:5)
So if someone asks him (wa ‘amar ‘el huw’), ‘What is this plague, why is there such affliction and loss of life, how is it that so many are impaired and slaughtered, what is the reason behind this devastating pandemic (mah ha makah ‘ha ‘eleh) that you have influenced by making your connections between one thing and another, manipulating everything under your control (bayn yad ‘atah)?’
And he will say (wa ‘amar) regarding these associations and path through life (‘asher), ‘I was overwhelmed and stricken, possessed and controlled (nakah), in the house (beyth) of one who appreciates and desires me (‘ahab ‘any).’ (Zakaryah 13:6)
‘You have chosen to blind by giving false testimony, then gloated over your decision to be malicious, so there will be no hiding from the deceptions you have stirred up (‘awar) chiseling away at Choreb, creating devastation and desolation through your inscriptions (chereb) in opposition to My shepherd (‘al ra’ah ‘any) and against the empowered and strong man (wa ‘al geber) who serves as My associate (‘amyth ‘any),’ 221prophetically declares (na’um), Yahowah () of the vast array of spiritual implements and heavenly messengers (tsaba’).
When you choose to strike the Shepherd, negating what the leader of the flock represents (nakah ‘eth ha ra’ah), then the sheep will be scattered and attacked (wa puwts ha tso’n).
So, then (wa) I will return, using My hand, to bring restoration (shuwb yad ‘any) on behalf of (‘al) these little ones in the flock who have been trivialized (ha tsa’ar). (Zakaryah 13:7)
It shall come to exist (wa hayah) in the entirety of (ba kol) the Land (ha ‘erets),’ prophetically predicts (na’um) Yahowah (Yahowah), ‘the portion that two-thirds (peh shana’ym ba hy’) shall be cut off and eliminated (karath), perishing (gawa’) and (wa) one-third (ha shalyshy) will be the remnant spared and preserved of them (yathar ba hy’). (Zakaryah 13:8)
I will come to and be included among (bow’) this one-third (‘eth ha shalyshy).
In the fire (ba ha ‘esh), I will purge and refine them, perfecting them (wa tsaraph hem) as one refines, purifies, and perfects (ka tsaraph) silver (‘eth ha kesep) and tests them, observes, examines, and assesses them, testing and verifying their authenticity and genuineness (wa bachan hem) as one assesses the authenticity of gold (ka bachan ‘eth ha zahab).
They will individually offer a summons and a welcome, calling out in (huw’ qara’ ba) My personal and proper name (shem), and I, Myself, will answer them (wa ‘any ‘anah ‘eth huw’).
I will say (‘amar), “Each one (huw’) is My family (‘am).” And he or she will individually say (wa huw’ 222‘amar), “Yahowah (Yahowah) is my God (‘elohym ‘any).” (Zakaryah 13:9)
Look up and pay attention (hineh), the day (yowm) of return and inclusion is coming (bow’) to approach (la) Yahowah (Yahowah).
And then (wa), that which is good and valuable, enriching and beneficial (shalal), will be apportioned and assigned (chalaq) to you in your midst (‘ath ba qereb ‘ath).” (Zakaryah 14:1)
As mankind’s sixth millennium comes to a chaotic close, there will be no indecision. Those who remain will either be with God or against Him. Those who oppose Yahowah will be brought to Jerusalem for a rendezvous with their Maker. And they will provide evidence against themselves right to the bitter end.
“‘I will gather (wa ‘asap – I will assemble) all (‘eth kol) of the people from different races and places (gowym – of the foreign nations opposed to Yisra’el) to (‘el) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) for the war (la ha milchamah – to form the battle lines and wage war).
The city (ha ‘iyr) will be seized (lakad – will be taken by force and captured). And the families and their houses (wa beyth – the homes and households) will be plundered (shasas – will be raided and ransacked, pillaged and looted) and the women (wa ha ‘ishah – wives and mothers) will be raped (shakab – ravished).
Half (chatsy) of the population of the city (ha ‘iyr) shall leave (yatsa’) as exiles (ba ha gowlah), but the remainder (wa yether – however the remnant) of the people (ha ‘am – of the family) will not be cut off or banished (lo’ karat – will not be uprooted) from (min) the 223city (ha ‘iyr).’” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:2)
Yahowah is telling us that, during the final battle, Jerusalem will endure all Satan’s advocates and man’s stooges can throw at her, but a significant remnant of Yahuwdym will hold out and endure. This will be a hellish time. The final crucible of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles.
To retain the proper perspective, the lives of Covenant members taken on this day, should they be among those ravaged, will be revived on the next, there will be no memory of the abuse, and the property seized will be immediately restored. And for those who are victimized who are not Covenant, there were only fleeting moments left of their lives. Therefore, what this is showing is that Yahowah knows that men will be men until there would be no men left without His intervention.
“Then Yahowah ( – the pronunciation of YaHoWaH as guided by His towrah – teaching) will come forth to serve (yatsa’ – will extend Himself, descend, and arrive) and He will oppose (wa lacham – He will attack, showing hostility while fighting against) the Gentiles (ba ha gowym – foreign nations and people from different races and places).
For them (ha hem) it will be like a day (ka yowm) he engages in battle, fighting a hostile force (lacham huw’ – of him being attacked) during a time of war (ba yowm qerab).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:3)
How is it that Paul and pals managed to convince billions of Gentiles that they replaced Jews when they carry around prophecies, like this one, which reveal that Yahowah is fighting the gowym on behalf of the Yahuwdym? Did he prey upon their ignorance in the expectation that the religion he imposed would silence the voice of reason?
224And how have they been duped into believing that “Jesus” is returning when the inspired text reads “Yahowah”? They have this all wrong, presenting statues and images of their man-god descending with flowing robes and open arms when, in actuality, He will be fighting them. They are even clueless to the fact that this will be occurring on Yowm Kipurym in year 6000 Yah.
That said, there is not a single rabbi who knows when He is returning, nor one who would recognize Him. They remain oblivious that Yahowah despises them most of all.
“On that specific day, His day (ba ha yowm ha huw’), He will be present, His feet standing (‘amad regel huw’ – He will take a stand, setting foot) upon the Mount (‘al har) of Olives (ha Zayth) which, for the benefit of the relationship (‘asher), faces (‘al paneh) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Reconciliation) on the east (min qedem – toward the sunrise forevermore).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:4)
Yahowah’s consistent use of “on this day” or, more literally, “in this specific day, His day,” and sometimes as “during this essential and corporeal day” throughout the prophecies regarding His return to His people in Yaruwshalaim is significant because there is only one event on His calendar referred to as a “Yowm Kipurym | Day of Reconciliations.” It is not a coincidence.
It is about a thousand paces for an ordinary man to walk from the Mount of Olives to the Temple Mount and about twice that far to Golgotha and the original summit of Mowryah. The Mount of Olives lies due east of the intersection between the site of the original temple and the City of Dowd.
The earthquake which occurs as a result of energy unleashed by Yahowah’s presence will create a fissure running east to west, all the way from Sea to Sea, from the 225northern extremity of the Dead Sea to the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. A number of hideous structures will be devoured within the rift.
“Then (wa) the Mount of Olives (har ha Zayth) will split into two (baqa’ – will be divided) down the middle (chatsy huw’ – in half) from (min) the east (mizrach – from the direction of the sunrise) and to the west (wa yam – to the Sea).
A great valley (gay’ gadowl – a large and important) resulting from the tremendous force (ma’od – releasing enormous energy) will move (muwsh) half (chatsy) of the mountain (ha har) northward to conceal (tsaphown – to the north to hide what has been esteemed) and half of it to the south, toward the Negeb (wa chatsy huw’ negeb).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:4)
At the very least, the resulting valley would devour the Chapel of the Ascension, the Mount of Olives Ascension Monastery, the Pater Noster Church and Monastery, the Dominus Flevit Church, the Church of Mary Magdalene, Absalom’s Tomb, El Marwani Mosque, Al-Aqsa Mosque and the original Masjid Al Aqsa, the Islamic trophy known as the Dome of the Rock, a marble orchard of Muslim graves, the Tomb of the Virgin, the Western Wall, the Christian Information Center, the Hurva Synagogue, St James Cathedral, the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Via Dolorosa, Mosque of Omar ibn al-Khattab, St. Anne’s Church, El-Hamra Mosque, Les Soeurs Sion Monastery, Makki, St Mark’s Church, Saint Savior Monastry, Holy Joseph Abby, and much of Sultan Suleiman Street. Let’s call it “Urban Renewal.”
The resulting valley will likely be narrowest near the epicenter and then radiate out to the north and south as it travels east and west. Tsaphown, which is the word depicting the northward movement, reveals that its purpose 226will be to conceal the religious rubbish man has wrongly esteemed. South is from negeb, which suggests that, by the time the valley reaches the sea, it will devour Gaza. Yahowah will be ushering in a lasting peace with a One-State Solution.
“Flee (nuws – withdraw and escape) to the valley (gay’) of My Mountain (har ‘any) because (ky) the gorge (gay’) will reach (naga’ – will make contact with and level) the mountains (harym) of ‘Atsal | Being Withdrawn and Separated so as to be Beside and Near (‘el ‘Atsal – of being set apart and joined unto).
You should withdraw (nuws – you should escape to safety) in the beneficial manner (ka ‘asher) you escaped (nuws – you withdrew) from the presence (min paneh) of the earthquake (ra’ash) in (ba) the days (yowm) of King (melek) ‘Uzyah (‘Uzyah – Yah is Mighty, transliterated Uzziah) of Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah and Related to Yah).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:5)
When Yahowah speaks of “My Mountain” there are two, one of which is near the Mount of Olives – Mount Mowryah – the site of the Temple and City of Dowd. And while ‘Atsal is self-explanatory, the most credible study on its location was advanced by the 1984 geological study conducted by Daniel Wachs and Dov Levitte. They located a large landslide that had been the aftermath of an earthquake on the Mount of Olives directly adjacent to the Wady ‘Atsal. This area had formerly been the King’s Garden. It is located at the juncture of the Hinnom and Kidron Valleys.
The Kidron Valley runs north, separating the Mount of Olives from the City of Dowd. It intersects with the Hinnom Valley just below Dowd’s City. This is the same site affirmed in Titus Flavius Josephus’ account of an 227earthquake causing a landslide during King Uzziah’s reign blocking the King’s Gardens in the valley.
Beyond ‘Atsal meaning “to be withdrawn and separated to become beside and near,” this location at the southern tip of Tsyown would confirm the obvious: some percentage of the remnant in Yaruwshalaim will be invited to withdraw from the carnage by ascending the Mountain of God through the Home of Dowd to the Home of Yahowah on the summit of Mowryah as the sun sets at the outset of Taruw’ah.
Since Yahowah mentioned him, ‘Uzyah | Uzziah was king of Yahuwdah from 790 to 740 BCE. He inherited the throne when he was only sixteen and died a leper for having violated Yahowah’s instructions. Serving during the time of the prophets, Yasha’yah and Howsha’, he fortified the Valley Gate, which is pertinent to this discussion. Gay’, translated as “valley,” is based upon gewah, meaning “to lift up,” but it also serves as the name of the “Valley Gate.”
Upon ‘Uzyah’s death, Yasha’yah witnessed a vision in which he saw Yahowah sitting on a throne with the train of His robe filling the Temple – a vision of this very day. (Yasha’yah 6) It is germane to this story because it suggests that the prophet’s words would begin to resonate with his people in advance of this day.
Even the earthquake referenced here is connected to ‘Uzyah in Amos 1:1, although it is more completely developed in Yasha’yah | Isaiah 13, which is a parallel presentation to what we are currently considering. Both passages are presented in Observations, the first in Growing and the second in Teaching.
“And then (wa) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence), my God (‘elohym ‘any), will return (bow’ – arrive) and all (kol) of those who are set apart with Him (qadowshym 228‘im huw’ – those who are separated unto Him will be beside Him, those special to Him and devoted to Him included with Him).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:5)
The marvelous aspect of this declaration, beyond the fact that Yahowah, Himself, is returning, is that the Covenant members harvested during Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah will be coming with Him. They are represented by the Qadowshym.
Qadowsh, meaning “to be set apart and purified,” qadosh is directly related to qadash, meaning “to kindle a fire which provides light.” As such, it provides another confirmation that Qara’ / Leviticus 23:27, the verse which provides Yowm Kipurym’s most essential instruction, was correctly rendered with:
“And your soul shall respond and answer the summons to appear before and approach the maternal manifestation of the fiery light who purifies, enlightens, and elevates (‘isheh /‘ishah) to approach Yahowah.”
Zakaryah explains…
“There will not be (lo’ hayah – it will exist) on His day (ba ha yowm ha huw’) a diminishing (qipa’own – a reduction or dwindling (qal imperfect paragogic nun)) of the esteemed and beloved, valued and respected (yaqar – splendorous and beautiful, worthy, influential, and magnificent), light (‘owr – illumination and source of enlightenment).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:6)
God is revealing that He will return without dialing down His enlightening presence. Since the Creator is greater than His creation, considering the size of the universe, it is hard to fathom the magnificence. But this I know, everyone not enveloped in Yahowah’s Set-Apart 229Spirit will be instantly incinerated – vaporized. The Spirit is the only protection.
Qipa’own, the operative verb in this passage, could have been translated as “make rigid, fixed, and immobile” had it not been used in conjunction with ‘owr | light. In relation to other substances, qipa’own communicates the “solidification of something from a fluid.” But when associated with light, qipa’own always means “to diminish.” This is consistent with nature. As matter is transformed from a gas to a liquid and then to a solid state, every substance other than water diminishes in volume. Since the solidification of light is an obscure concept, the related idea of diminishment applies.
Most English translations, like the ESV and NIV, render the passage: “On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost.” In so doing, they ignore the fact that the negation was of hayah, not light. And qipa’own is a verb and thus not “cold or frost.” The NASB is no closer to the mark with: “And it will come about in that day that there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle.” The KJV tries: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark.” It is little wonder Christians remain oblivious to the day Yahowah will return.
Also, keep in mind that matter is simply organized energy, or light in a diminished state. That is why matter has to be multiplied by the square of the speed of light to determine its quotient of energy. So anytime Yahowah takes on material, human form, He has to set apart and then diminish an aspect of His nature. But this time, during His seventh and final visit, God is going to be more light energy than matter – and perhaps all energy – and thus Spirit.
Revealing the timing of His return, God inspired Zakaryah to write something which unlocks the mystery of “no one knows.”
230“It shall be (wa hayah – it will exist as) the one (‘echad – only exclusive and unique, the certain and explicit) day (yowm) which (huw’ – more typically rendered as “He”) is known (yada’ – is revealed and shown, understood and acknowledged, distinguished and discerned) to approach (la – according to) Yahowah ( – the pronunciation of YaHoWaH as guided by His towrah – teaching).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:7 in part)
Yada’, translated as “is known,” tells us that Yahowah “is revealing this to us so that we realize and acknowledge it, even understand it.” This is the day of Yahowah’s return, something that should be “acknowledged and known” by everyone.
By using the phrase “it shall be the one, certain and unique day which He becomes yada’ | known,” we have yet another affirmation that Yahowah’s return is tied to the day man’s relationship with God is reconciled – when He becomes known to the remnant of His people that He will be approaching on Yowm Kipurym.
By using ‘echad, Yahowah is telling us that there is something very “special, singular, and unique” about the timing of His return. In all of time, there is “only one day” which meets His requirements. Of that, we can be “certain.”
This known, there are seven “special days” on Yahowah’s annual calendar. So, in a general sense, we can be assured that He is telling us that His return will coincide with one of these unique days. But since the first three Miqra’ey were fulfilled in order in 33 CE during year 4000 Yah, the list of potential dates is reduced to four.
The next unfulfilled Miqra’ey, Shabuw’ah and Taruw’ah, are ‘Asaph | Ingatherings, a Qatsyr | Harvest, followed by a Laqat | Gleaning, are disqualified because of the direction of travel and who is going to meet Whom. 231They depict days that the Covenant Family is being withdrawn from the Earth to meet with Yahowah in Heaven. And since Yahowah’s pattern has been to fulfill the Miqra’ey in chronological order, there is but one day on God’s annual calendar which meets the Zakaryah 14:7 criterion and is consistent with His pattern: the Day of Reconciliations. Moreover, of the remaining unfulfilled possibilities, Sukah | Shelters is symbolic of the Millennial Shabat. It is not only celebrated over eight days, but it also represents one thousand years of celebrating our relationship with Yahowah.
Therefore, Yowm Kipurym, which is one of only two Miqra’ey with yowm | day emblazoned in its name, the other being Taruw’ah, it “shall be the one yowm He becomes known according to Yahowah.” But what year would be the only question if we were not already so deep into our study that we already know the answer.
Nevertheless, let’s play along and think it through again. Everything in the Towrah and Prophets points to the pattern of six (mankind) plus one (God) equals seven (perfection). We are even told that a day is like a thousand years to Yahowah. It is all laid out for us throughout His witness.
Between the genealogies revealed in the Towrah, history, and archeology, we know that ‘Adam and Chawah were escorted out of the Garden of ‘Eden in 3968 BCE. Yahowah met with Noach to discuss the impending deluge that would flood the region of the world in which men with a neshamah lived in 2968 BCE. This date is affirmed by the discovery of the Burckle meteor crater in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar.
The Covenant was confirmed with ‘Abraham on Mount Mowryah in 1968 BCE, forty Yowbel after ‘Adam left ‘Eden. In 968 BCE, the cornerstone of Yahowah’s Temple on Mount Mowryah was laid.
232Then exactly forty Yowbel after ‘Abraham’s prophetic dress rehearsal, Dowd fulfilled the Miqra’ey of Passover, UnYeasted Bread, and Firstborn Children in 33 CE. Dowd, as Gabry’el | God’s Most Capable and Courageous Man firmly established this date six centuries earlier, telling us that He would be cut off as the Messiah during Chag Matsah in 33 CE, which is year 4000 Yah.
Moving forward, and recognizing that Dowd also dated the commencement of the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles to seven years shy of forty Yowbel later, he set the date of the fourth Miqra’, Seven Sevens. Shabuw’ah will be celebrated, therefore, on the Shabat of May 22nd, 2026. And it will transpire under the precise conditions already laid out by Yasha’yah | Isaiah in his 17th chapter, further establishing a pattern.
Since it was during the period that Gabry’el as Dowd and Yasha’yah told us that no one would hear from Yahowah, there is no tangible millennial marker for 1033 CE. Although, curiously, some claim that there may be some evidence that the waters under the Temple were poisoned in 1033 CE, which they believe reflects the Bamidbar / Numbers 5 divorce decree. Although, based upon what we have recently discovered, the Adulterous Woman is cleaned and cured, not poisoned or condemned, and this will occur on Yowm Taruw’ah in 2033.
As a fact of history, out of the ashes of the Holocaust, Yisra’el was reborn. Just as Yahowah had foretold, His people returned to the Land. And the next Yowbel year just so happens to be 40 Yowbel from the fulfillment of the first three Mow’ed Miqra’ey – 2033.
Forty depicts the completion of a time of testing. And the Yowbel represent the time debts are forgiven, everyone is freed, and the Land returns to God. Moreover, 2033 will mark six thousand years since the expulsion from ‘Eden, 233when redemption’s calendar started counting down the day to reconciliation.
The final one-thousand-year period begins five days after Yah’s return, on the seventh Miqra’, The Feast of Sukah | Shelters, in which God camps out with His Family for a millennium.
Therefore, we can reasonably deduce that the “one, exclusive, unique, and certain day” in which Yahowah will become known is Yowm Kipurym in 2033 – year 6000 Yah.
Further, Mizmowr / Psalm 102 speaks prophetically of the Holocaust (1932-1945) and states that the generation which experiences it will be the last. So, to determine how long after the Holocaust Yahowah’s return could be, and still be witnessed by the same generation, it is instructive to know that the average life expectancy among Jews who survived the Holocaust was 85 years, with their direct descendants expected to live 88 years on average. And the maximum life expectancy, and thus the far extremity of the prophecy, of a Jewish person living today is known to be around 105 to 107 years. Philadelphia resident Herbert Brown, a 105-year-old Jewish Dachau Concentration Camp survivor, and his 100-year-old wife, Magda, were the oldest-living married couple in 2005. In October 2007, Jewish Caricaturist Boris Efimov celebrated his 107th birthday in a Moscow synagogue. Therefore, we should expect Yahowah’s return to be 88 years after 1945 which is 2033, and no later than 2050.
God not only knows the day He is going to return, He made it possible for us to discern this date from His Word. Converted to our pagan Gregorian calendar, His arrival will occur at sunset in Jerusalem on October 2nd, 2033. And in a moment, Yahowah will reveal the exact time – right down to the minute.
At this point, it is hard to imagine, but should a Christian have read this far into the 6th volume of Yada 234Yahowah, which is actually the 27th overall that has been rewritten, and 35 volumes in total, this last prophetic statement from Yahowah clears up one of their more beguiling delusions: no one knows the hour of God’s return. Normally, we would only delve into the text of the Twistian New Testament to expose and condemn its message, but an exception can be made on this occasion with the two sections of “Matthew” which were plagiarized from the ‘Ebownym | Ebionites. They, as demonstrated in Coming Home and Twistianity, recorded the Messiah’s oratory in Hebrew. And it was their eyewitness accounts of the Sermon on the Mount and Olivet Discourse which were incorporated into the “Gospel of Matthew.” All of the rest were either pilfered from Mark or Luke or added by Eusebius on behalf of Rome and Roman Catholicism in the 4th century. Nonetheless, let’s compare Zakaryah’s testimony to that which is recorded in Matthew 24.
In “Matthew’s” Greek translation of the Messiah’s Hebrew conversation, translated twice, from Hebrew to Greek and from Greek to English, we find: “But nevertheless (de), concerning the immediate vicinity of (peri) that one specific and definite (ekeinos) day (hemera) and (kai) hour (hora) no one (oudeis) recognizes (oida – appreciates, acknowledges, is acquainted with, or is aware of, sees, observes, perceives, discerns, or notices), not (oude) the messengers (aggelos) of heaven (ouranos), only the Father (ΠAΡ), the only one who exists for all time (monos).” (Matthew 24:36)
Of the 18 pre-Constantine manuscripts of portions of “Matthew,” this statement was not included in any of them. There is a record, however, of those responsible for creating the Textus Receptus, altering the alleged “not even the Son” remark so that it would match Mark 13:32. Therefore, when it comes to this alleged declaration, most scholastic tools are rendered unreliable. Equally troubling, there is only one manuscript of Mark dating to the 1st 235through 3rd century CE, and it ends in the twelfth chapter. This reliability problem is further compounded by the fact that Greek was already a translation of a translation of what the Messiah Dowd may have said, because most of the Olivet Discourse was quoted from Zakaryah, which was written in Hebrew.
This leaves us with six different ways to explain these words. First, we can discard all of it because it is found in an otherwise fraudulent fairytale designed to promote a counterfeit messiah and god. Second, if we retain the “not even the Son” reference, it would require Dowd to be deprived of a nepesh | soul, rendering his words and deeds irrelevant. Considering the fact that current scholarship confirms over 300,000 known variations and alterations between the Textus Receptus and older codices, I am certain that he said no such thing. This is especially true since Dowd, as Gabry’el, precisely dated his Chag Matsah sacrifice before detailing what would occur thereafter, right to the very end. And as part of his explanation, he revealed that the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles, which is coterminous with the Shabuw’ah Harvest, would occur seven years prior to the final events playing out in Yaruwshalaim. So, how would he not know now if he knew six hundred years earlier?
And speaking of the “son,” if Dowd did not say these things, then there was an imposter afoot. This distinction belongs to Dowd – and no one else at that time. Further, the concluding line, “only the Father (ΠAΡ), the only one who exists for all time (monos),” while accurate in its depiction of the mortality of the Passover Lamb, destroys the myth that the speaker was God.
This known, the Greek as we have it today actually reads “…not (oude) the messengers (aggelos) of heaven (ouranos), if (ei) not (me) the (o) Son (huios)…” Dowd may be excluding himself from those who do not know, which solves the problem.
236The third option, one predicated on the removal of “not even the Son,” requires us to assume that Yahowah’s messengers, who are eternal spirits and thus able to experience time differently than we do, have no interest in knowing the timing of the most important event in world history. And while I suppose that is possible since they are spiritual implements, if it is irrelevant to them then it was irrelevant to mention them. But how is it then that, in this same passage, the Messiah says that these messengers will announce the arrival? So, even if they were unaware then, they would have to be informed in advance so that they can fulfill their mission.
As for mankind, the universally ignorant interpretation requires us to make the statement open-ended. That is to say: “no one will ever know.” But if this were the case, it requires us to question why God would provide an overwhelming amount of detail specific to His plan and His timeline and yet not want us to understand any of it. Confronted with thousands of useful clues and one poorly rendered passage that seems to negate their purpose, Christian theologians have almost universally held up the grain of sand while ignoring the mountain of evidence counter to it. Therefore, while God did not inspire these words, we would be unwise to suggest that He would infer, “You are so stupid, you’ll never figure this out no matter how obvious I make it!”
Our fourth alternative is so obvious, the first modern theologian to consider its implications within the context of God’s timeline, John Mill, in 1707, accurately concluded that the verb, oida, in Matthew 24:36 was rendered in the present tense. So, the lead Zarowa’ would not have indicated that no one has ever known, or that no one would ever recognize the day, but only that no one at that specific moment in time was aware of it. That said, while Greek offers a present tense, there is none in Hebrew. All Hebrew verbs are true throughout time.
237Worth noting is that not only did Mill close the case on closed-mindedness with this analysis, but his continued investigations also prompted him to question the accuracy of the Textus Receptus. He, himself, found 30,000 errors in the universally accepted, and yet overwhelmingly flawed, document which underlies English Bible translations. And that brings us back to Option 1: Mathew is poorly attested fiction.
But should we want to play along and resolve a potential riddle, oida, translated as “recognizes” in the passage, is the weakest of the three Greek words rendered as “know.” Its primary meaning is actually “see,” not know, and it conveys something more along the lines of no one “sees, pays attention to, perceives notices, discerns, discovers, or observes,” therefore “remotely understands or comprehends,” the one specific day. In classical Greek oida denoted “intuitive understanding and being acquainted with something theoretically.” Knowledge based upon evidence is ginosko in Greek, and complete knowledge is epiginosko. So, all Yahowsha’ allegedly said was that no one recognizes the day because they are not paying attention to the evidence.
More specifically, oida was written in the perfect indicative tense. Such verbs describe a completed action that occurred in the past but which produced a resulting state which exists in the present. The perfect tense, therefore, conveys that the present state of affairs at the time this was spoken existed because of a previous condition. The indicative tense simply denotes that the condition is real. This means that the ubiquitous failure of the audience, should there have been one, to understand Dowd’s mission within the context of the Towrah, Prophet, and Psalms had resulted in the present condition of being unable to recognize what had been predicted.
The inference is that virtually no one recognizes this “specific and definite day” because their perspective is 238backward, and their thinking is convoluted. The evidence is there. Those who want to know can know.
The reason for this is that, as a rule, Christians do not study Yahowah’s Towrah and thus do not understand the Beryth or Miqra’ey. They do not even know what the Miqra’ey represent nor when they transpire. They do not understand the Bare’syth / Genesis One timeline or its prophetic implications. And not one in a thousand connects what may have been said here to the original statements in Zechariah. And of course, after robbing Dowd to create the myth of Jesus, perceiving what the Mashyach and Zarowa’ is doing becomes difficult.
The fifth option relative to understanding this potential conversation is tied to the fact that the speaker quickly transitioned to a different subject. While the day of the year this Ingathering will occur is known to those who study the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms, the year it will transpire can only be ascertained by correlating what Dowd told Daniel with what Yasha’yah revealed a century prior to their conversation and then juxtaposing it with the Towrah’s timeline. The dates that become readily known are 1) 3968 BCE when ‘Adam and Chawah were sent out of the Garden, 2) 1968 BCE when ‘Abraham and Yitschaq met with Yahowah on Mount Mowryah to confirm the Covenant, 3) 968 BCE when the Cornerstone was laid for the House of the Covenant on Mount Mowryah, 4) 33 CE when Dowd arrived on the day he foretold to fulfill Pesach, Matsah, and Bikuwrym, and 5) 2033 CE is when Taruw’ah, Kipurym, and Sukah will be fulfilled because it is forty, eighty, and one-hundred-twenty Yowbel from 3968 and 1968 BCE and 33 CE (there in no year 0 on the Roman calendar). Then from this, based upon Dowd’s testimony and Yasha’yah’s prophecy, we can subtract 7 years from 2033 and deduce that the Shabuw’ah Harvest will occur on Seven Sevens seven years before Dowd returns with 239Yahowah. In this way, all seven fulfilments are discernable.
In this regard, Dowd’s answer in 33 CE, to the degree it was actually spoken and accurately recorded, transmitted, and translated, was ingenious. Rabbis have substituted the Babylonian Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year) for Yahowah’s Taruw’ah (Shout for Joy and Signal a Warning). Rabbis called it “the hidden day no one knows, only the Father.” In their warped minds, it was the one day each year Satan accused Jews of being bad before God. So, they blew their trumpets to confuse the Devil. And they kept the day a secret so that Satan would miss his appointment. Therefore, by saying that He would come for His Family on “the day no one knows, only the Father,” the Messiah was revealing that the final harvest of souls would occur on Taruw’ah, now religiously mischaracterized as Rosh Hashanah.
The sixth consideration for interpreting this statement is based on the similarities between it and the inspired text in Zakaryah. The subject, timing, context, and word selections are virtually identical, meaning that it is likely that, should this discussion have occurred, Dowd was answering a question by citing one of several prophets who provided the answer. Therefore, he would have recited…
“It shall be (wa hayah) the one (‘echad – only and exclusive, unique and certain) day (yowm) which (huw’) is known (yada’ – is revealed and shown, understood and acknowledged, distinguished and discerned) to approach (la) Yahowah (YaHoWaH).” (Zakaryah 14:7)
The translation of this Hebrew citation into Greek, then Latin, back into Greek, and finally to English, without the benefit of an early manuscript, and thus tormented by many over three centuries of religious tampering, changed it to…“But nevertheless (de), concerning the immediate vicinity of (peri) that one specific and definite (ekeinos) 240day (hemera) and (kai) hour (hora), recognizes (oida – appreciates, acknowledges, is acquainted with, or is aware of, sees, observes, perceives, discerns, or notices), not (oude) the messengers (aggelos) of heaven (ouranos), only the Father (ΠAΡ) the only one who exists for all time (monos).” (Matthew 24:36)
The quotes are so similar, the best explanation is that the purported answer was a paraphrase of Zakaryah. It wasn’t about not knowing but, instead, not recognizing where to look. In this regard, Zakaryah continues and explains…
“It shall be (wa hayah) the one (‘echad – the only and exclusive, the unique and certain) day (yowm) which (huw’ – He) is known (yada’ – is revealed and shown, understood and acknowledged, distinguished and discerned) to approach (la – according to) Yahowah (YaHoWaH).
Neither day (lo’ yowm – neither the ability to distinguish time by daylight from sunrise to sunset) nor night (wa lo’ laylah – nor the presence of darkness from sunset to sunrise) will exist (hayah). Then at the timing (la ‘eth) of sundown (‘ereb), there will be (hayah – then there will continually exist (qal imperfect)) light (‘owr – illumination and enlightenment).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:7)
All of Yahowah’s Miqra’ey begin at sunset at the conclusion of the prior day. Therefore, Yowm Taruw’ah like Yowm Kipurym, which are the 1st and 10th days of the seventh month, start at twilight the previous day from our current reckoning and culminate at sunset on the next day. The Taruw’ah Gleaning and Yahowah’s glorious return to Jerusalem will occur at sunset on September 23rd and October 2nd, 2033, just as the sun dips beneath the horizon at 6:22 PM. It will be approaching lunchtime on the 241American East Coast – 11:22 AM – based upon the seven-hour time-zone differential.
However, Yahowah has testified that, on these days, either the sun’s and moon’s light will be so obscured by smoke and debris in the air, the day will be indistinguishable from night, or His light will be so brilliant that there will never again be darkness. Therefore, since we will not be able to use the normal transition from day to night, Yahowah has provided instructions that we can deploy to ascertain the moment of last departure and His arrival.
To be consistent with the Towrah, God must arrive within the specified 24-hour period He designated for the Mow’ed Miqra’ of Kipurym. And while that could be any time between sunset on the 9th of Tishri and twilight on the 10th (our October 2nd and 3rd, 2033), I think the reference to “‘ereb – sunset” is both literal and symbolic. Further, la ‘eth, which was translated as “then approaching the timing,” also suggests the earliest possible arrival within the window. As such, His return will occur at the beginning of Yowm Kipurym and not after it is over. Open your calendars and set your clocks: Yahowah will return to planet Earth at 6:22 PM, Jerusalem time (11:22 AM EST) on October 2, 2033 – the dawning of the Day of Reconciliations.
Now that I have shared all of this with you, I want to turn back the clock ten days, from Yowm Kipurym to Yowm Taruw’ah, for two reasons. The first has to do with the wording and direction in Zakaryah 14:7…
“It shall be (wa hayah) the one (‘echad) day (yowm) which (huw’) is known (yada’) to approach (la) Yahowah (YaHoWaH). Neither day (lo’ yowm) nor night (wa lo’ laylah) will exist (hayah). Then at the timing (la ‘eth) of sundown (‘ereb), there will be (hayah) light (‘owr).” (Zakaryah 14:7)
242He said that this was the day to approach Yahowah, not the day that Yahowah arrives, returns, or approaches. And the final gleaning to approach God will occur as the sun sets at the commencement of Taruw’ah when a stream of light, comprising saved souls, will flow from Yaruwshalaim to Shamaym as the last olives are sent heavenward. Then, as the sun rises on Taruw’ah, the Zarowa’ responsible for cultivating the final harvest, and for restraining and protecting those left behind, will save them by sacrificing his life as the ‘Adamah Parah. As a result, those who dance in the ashen waters of this sacrifice will be prepared to approach Yahowah. Equally interesting, there will be a complete solar eclipse on this day, such that, for a while, day and night will be indistinguishable.
The second reason that I am drawn to Taruw’ah is that Yahowah must unleash a torrent of living waters from the foundation of the Temple Mount, beneath the roaring flames consuming the Red Heifer, so that they flow off of Mowryah and clean not only Yahuwdym but also Yaruwshalaim.
“It will transpire (wa hayah – then it will happen) on that day (ba ha yowm ha huw’ – during His moment in time) that living waters (chayym maym – life-sustaining, invigorating, nourishing, reviving, renewing, and purifying waters) shall flow (yatsa’ – will come forth, coming out (qal imperfect)) from (min) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – the Source of Guidance on Restoration and Renewal) – half (chatsy) of them toward (hem ‘el) the eastern (ha qadmony – the former) Sea (ha yam) and half (wa chatsy) toward (hem ‘el) the western (‘acharown – the final) Sea (ha yam).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:8)
This is how the Man from ‘Edowm as the Red Heifer of Taruw’ah cleanses and restores the Adulterous Woman. We have yet another affirmation of what will transpire on 243this glorious day in the lives of God’s People and in His City.
In an interlinear, this passage reads in the Hebrew word order: “And-it-will-be on-that-day that they-will-flow-out, waters of-living-ones from-Jerusalem, half-of-them to the-sea eastern/former and-half-of-them to-the-sea western/final.” Living waters is one of seven metaphors Yahowah uses to describe Himself and His purpose. His symbols are: Light, the Bread of Life, the Upright Pillar, the Living Waters of the Set-Apart Spirit, the Rock of our Salvation, the Word, and the Father of the Family.
The “Eastern Sea” is the Dead Sea, so since qadmony also means “former,” it will thrive again with life. The earthquake will create an exit to the sea for the salt and mineral-saturated waters which are fed by the Jordan River. Opening what is currently the world’s deepest fault would cause what is now dead to support life. These living waters would flow down from Yaruwshalaim, which is perched several thousand feet above the headwaters of the Dead Sea, and ultimately flow out through the Gulf of Aqaba and into the Red Sea. Moseh and the Yisra’elites crossed the Gulf of Aqaba into the Arabian Peninsula when fleeing Pharaoh’s army during the Yatsa’ | Exodus. The waters, which Yahowah parted to save His people, will save them again.
Speaking of yatsa’, it is also the verb Yahowah used to describe the “exodus,” and the removal of His people from “mitsraym – the crucibles of religious and political persecution.” There is, therefore, a connection between this act of salvation and the one which transpired 3,480 years ago.
Also interesting, the Western Sea, which is the Mediterranean, is labeled ‘acharown. In addition to “western,” it speaks of everything pertaining to the “final 244solution in the last days being brought to fruition without hesitation.”
I admire pristine mountainous terrain replete with cascading crystal-clear waters and soaring cedars. And by comparison, I found the onslaught of Christian and Muslim edifices in Jerusalem, all of which were infected with the religious, exceedingly hideous. Therefore, I have often tried to envision the resulting scene. In my mind’s eye, I see a natural fountain atop the Temple Mount with tumbling white waters glistening in Yahowah’s light dancing their way down into the Kidron and Hinnom Valleys. They will shimmer as they pass through the newly formed fissure between the restored homes of Dowd and Yahowah, perhaps with a bridge composed of light over them. This stream will widen as it travels to the sea in the west while forming majestic waterfalls as it descends into what is now the Living Sea in the east.
With Yaruwshalaim serving as the source of these living and restoring waters, Yahowah’s city will be living up to its name: The Source of Guidance and Teaching on Restoration and Renewal.
This conclusion is somewhat validated by the completion of the 8th prophetic statement. While qayts is often translated as “summer” and choreph rendered as “winter,” both terms are more suggestive. That said, the subject remains the living waters…
“They shall continually exist (hayah) with (ba) the summer fruit (ha qayts – the time of awakening and being alive) as with (wa ba) the autumn harvest (ha chereph – the prime of life).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:8)
The summer fruit is from Shabuw’ah while the Autumn Harvest is Taruw’ah. So, this is saying that the beneficiaries of these Ingatherings will return with Yahowah and Dowd to enjoy the transformation.
245Beyond being the occasion of the great awakening and reintroduction, the great harvests and witnesses, Yahowah’s return and the start of forevermore, this is the absolute best time to be alive, to take in this scene, and to celebrate the restoration of the Earth. The Covenant’s children will grow enormously in Yahowah’s presence, being enriched, empowered, and enlightened, such that we will enjoy the prime of our lives.
A literal interpretation of this statement would indicate that, after Yahowah’s return, summer and winter will be the same. It will be like the Garden of ‘Eden, which was bathed in dew but bereft of rain, and therefore the ideal temperature year-round, day and night. If you recall, clothing was optional. It is reminiscent of my current experience in the Virgin Islands, where on this lovely summer day, the temperature will rise to the high 80s this afternoon and slip down to the low 80s this evening – all while a lovely 8-knot trade wind flutters the palm fronds between us and the Caribbean Sea. While life is simple, even a bit primitive, here, between now and the time Yaruwshalaim is restored, it is hard to imagine a better environment in which to translate and write.
These are the temperature ranges that I would expect for the ‘Edenification of Earth. Even during the Millennial Shabat, which follows five days later on Sukah, conditions continue to replicate those enjoyed by ‘Adam and Chawah.
“And then (wa) Yahowah (Yahowah – a transliteration of , our ‘elowah – God as directed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) will at that moment (hayah – will be (qal perfect – genuinely limiting the duration)) support the king (la melek – be near close to the sovereign leader and counselor; from malak – effective communicator and advisor) over (‘al) the entire (kol) Land and Earth (‘erets – region and material realm).
246During that day, which is His time (ba ha yowm ha huw’), He will always be (hayah – He will continually, literally, and consistently exist as (qal imperfect)) Yahowah (Yahowah – the proper pronunciation of YaHoWaH, our ‘elowah – God as directed in His ToWRaH – teaching regarding His HaYaH – existence and our ShaLoWM – restoration), who is one (‘echad – first, foremost, and certain) with His one (wa ‘echad huw’ – with His singular and exclusive) personal and proper name (shem).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:9)
There are always numerous ways to render the preposition la. Here, I used its primary definition which is “approach.” The other leading options “to” king, “toward” king, “into” king, or “concerning” king seemed awkward. Moreover, since the verb, hayah, was scribed in the perfect conjugation, addressing something that will occur at this particular moment, “approach” the king was consistent with Yahowah being near Dowd, the man He has designated King of the Earth at this time.
From this perspective, Yahowah continues to be God with Dowd serving as His appointed King. The Almighty stays true to His Word and in character since His preference has always been to interact with us through select individuals. And there is no one more select than the Son of God, Firstborn, and Messiah.
The second time hayah appears it was scribed in the qal stem and imperfect conjugation, which means that Yahowah has always and will always remain one. There never has been, nor will there ever be, a Trinity. Our one and only God has only one name. It is Yahowah. Period. Any other name is wrong. The list of errant monikers, therefore, includes Jesus, Christ, the Lord, Allah, and Shiva, to name a few. Furthermore, God cannot be God’s name.
247Pronouncing Yahowah’s name is exceedingly easy – so simple even I could figure it out. By His own admission, YaHoWaH is based upon the operative verb in the previous pronouncements: HaYaH. His name is found 7,000 times in His ToWRaH. Its pronunciation is affirmed in His title, ‘ELoWaH and His purpose, ShaLoWM. There is no mystery. There are no exceptions.
“The entire Land (kol ha ‘erets) shall be surrounded by (sabab – encircled by) something similar to a wilderness plain (ka ha ‘arabah – a plateau with highly varied, somewhat dense vegetation; from ‘arab – a pleasant, commingled mixture of agreeable growth) from (min) Geba’ (Geba’ – a cup or the calyx of a flower, also known as Gibeah, modern Jeba) toward Rimown (‘el Rimown – Pomegranate) and south (negeb).
Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) will rise up high in elevation and status (ra’am) succeeding (tachath) as an established dwelling place (yashab hy’) approaching from the Gate (la min sha’ar) of Benyamyn (Benyamyn) as far as the place of the Former Gate (‘ad maqowm sha’ar ha ri’shown – up to the first and foremost gate) to the Corner Gate (‘ad sha’ar ha pinah – gate of the cornerstone) and the Tower of God’s Mercy (wa migdal Chanan’el – the Chest or Garden, Watchtower or Podium of Favor and Acceptance) to the King’s Winepresses (‘ad yeqeb ha melek).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:10)
While there may be multiple levels of symbolism here, on the surface, Yahowah is establishing a nature preserve around Yaruwshalaim. And He wants us to know that His city will remain unsurpassed in status and elevation. Beyond this, Dowd | David “struck down the Philistines in Geba’” in Shamuw’el / 2 Samuel 5:25. “Geba’ of Benjamin was punished for all the disgraceful acts that they committed in Yisra’el” in Shaphat / Judges 20:10 (raping and dismembering a concubine and distributing her body 248parts throughout Yisra’el). The town was six miles northeast of Yaruwshalaim. Following this disgraceful act, the last of Benyamyn’s militia fell after “they fled to the wilderness rock of Rimown” in Judges 20:45. The “rock” was named after the Babylonian, Syrian, and Canaanite god of storms. Rimmon’s rock was 22 miles north-by-northeast of Yaruwshalaim. Adding insult to injury, Gaba’ was where King Sha’uwl was born, which is yet another blight on this place.
“Benyamyn’s Gate was where “Yirma’yah was beaten and put in stocks,” in chapter 20, verse 2. He “was arrested at the Gate of Benyamyn” a second time and “turned over to the Chaldeans [Babylonians]” in Yirma’yah 37:13. Benyamyn’s territory ran horizontally immediately north of Yaruwshalaim starting ten miles west of the city to the point the Yarden | Jordan River enters the Dead Sea, about twelve miles east. The Corner Gate and the Tower of Chanan‘el are mentioned in Yirma’yah / Jeremiah 31:38: “‘Behold, days are coming,’ declares Yahowah, ‘when the city will be rebuilt for Yahowah from the Tower of Canan‘el to the Corner Gate.’”
At this point, we know that Yahowah’s foes do more than lay siege to Yaruwshalaim. The north rim of the city will be attacked, property will be destroyed, and people will be robbed and raped. But, with God’s direct intervention, much of the city will be spared.
“And within her (wa ba hy’) they will live (yashab – will dwell and abide established). There will never again be (lo’ hayah ‘owd) a sanctioned possession or destruction (cherem – a ban or a common usage). Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) will be inhabited (yashab) safely and securely (betah – confidently, free of danger, a reliable and trustworthy environment).” (Zakaryah / Zechariah 14:11)
249The most contested place on Earth will finally know peace. Yahowah will bring His shalowm.
Cherem is a rather provocative term. Translating it as “a sanctioned possession of destruction” does not do it justice. It conveys something which is “prohibited.” Therefore, Jerusalem will never again experience a ban or prohibition as currently exists with the Temple Mount. Muslims restrict non-Muslims from visiting the most important place in the world. There will be no restrictions on where Jews can build their homes either.
“So, then (wa) this (zo’th) will be (hayah) the plague of rebuke (magephah – the destructive pandemic of disapproval which kills those who are wrong, the pestilence which slaughters) which (‘asher) Yahowah (YaHoWaH – an accurate presentation of the name of ‘elowah – God as guided by His towrah – instructions regarding His hayah – existence) will inflict upon (nagaph – will strike and afflict) all the nations which and people who (kol ‘eth ha ‘am ‘asher) organize to fight (tsaba’ – assemble as militants or military to battle) against (‘al – the Most High’s) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – Source of Instructions on Reconciliation):
Now, at this time (henah – simultaneously) their flesh will dissolve while their proclamations vanish (basar maqaq huw’ – their bodies will decompose and decay, will fester and rot away while their protestations will cease to exist) as they are standing (wa ‘amad – as they are present) on their feet (‘al regel huw’).
And their eyes (‘ayn huw’) will melt (maqaq – will dissolve, decomposing and vanishing) in their sockets (ha chory).
Their tongues (wa lashown huw’) will liquefy (maqaq – fester and rot away) in their mouths (ba peh huw’).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:12)
250Yahowah is always fair. Those who infected their fellow man with the pandemics of religion and politics will be plagued in return.
Even the means to this end is appropriate. The consequence of their epidemics has led to the wasting away of human souls, with billions ceasing to exist. Therefore, the proclamations and the tongues which professed them will fester and decompose. Even the eyes which were used to read such malevolence will dissolve within their sockets.
This passage speaks of a simultaneous and instantaneous event. Each time maqaq is used, it conveys the same thought – liquefaction. Maqaq can be translated as “fester and rot” or “melt and dissolve, decompose and vanish” suggesting that the bodies and slogans of those who came to wage war against the inhabitants of Jerusalem will be degraded, disintegrating to the point they evaporate into the ether.
This should not be surprising since Yahowah is returning as light. Therefore, anyone not protected by the Set-Apart Spirit will dissolve instantaneously. For those who came to destroy Jerusalem, death will come swiftly and there will be no bodies left to bury.
However, there will be others still alive elsewhere on the planet. So…
“It shall come to pass (wa hayah) in (ba) that day (yowm ha huw’) that Yahowah’s ( – a transliteration of YaHoWaH as instructed in His towrah – teaching regarding His hayah – existence) greatness (rab – enormity, exalted status, abundant power, awesome authority, and might) around them (ba hem – among them) will cause (hayah) consternation and confusion (mahumah – bewilderment and dismay, anxiety and anguish).
251So, people (wa ‘ysh – individuals) will strong-arm other individuals (chazaq ‘iysh yad – will be harsh and obstinate, severely treating, binding and restraining those) who are their fellow countrymen and evil associates (rea’ huw’ – who are their loudmouthed friends, and wicked companions, even of a similar race, including neighbors who are similarly mistaken).
The hand of one (yad huw’) will be raised (‘alah) against (‘al) the hand (yad) of another one of their rotten companions and boisterous friends (rea’ huw’ – of their immoral countrymen who are equally irrational and loudmouthed).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / 14:13)
Mahumah is the opposite of comfort and confidence. It speaks of a state of utter bewilderment leading to emotional anguish. Those who were led to believe Jesus, Allah, or HaShem was God will be as confused and dismayed as will those who thought there was no God. They will have made a poor choice and now will seek to blame others for having misled them. And that is one of many reasons they will be turning against one another.
If you had been led to believe that Jesus was returning with open arms to receive his church and find instead that God is destroying it, the experience would be disorienting. All the more perplexing would be watching Him defend the Jews whom you had been told He despised.
Rabbis will be no less bewildered, even disappointed. The God whose name they despised will have returned as He had promised, and He will have brought the Mashyach Dowd back with Him. But rather than being accepted as the best and brightest of the people, they will be ridiculed. Imagine the consternation as Jews turn to Yahowah and away from them.
They will all do what comes naturally to them and attempt to control everyone around them. It is all they know. And when the people won’t come willingly, when 252they ignore the rabbinic threats, things will turn ugly and the rabbis will become aggressive – showing their true colors.
A word about rea’ before we press on. While almost always translated as “neighbors” in this context, its primary meaning comes from “ra’ – evil and wicked, wrong and immoral.” Therefore, whether these are friends and companions or just fellow citizens and countrymen, they are up to no good.
All the while, Yahowah’s Family will be cared for and protected.
“Moreover (gam – quick to devour and consume, even), Yahuwdah (Yahuwdah – Beloved of Yah) will participate, fighting and then dining (lacham / lechem – will either be hostile or engage in a feast, consuming bread) in (ba) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim – Source of Guidance on Reconciliation).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:14 in part)
Written exactly the same way, lechem means “loaf of bread,” while lachem is “feast.” Lacham, which appears only half as frequently, can either convey “to fight” or “to eat.” Lacham also means “to participate, to associate, to integrate, and to engage.”
While each connotation is possible, I suspect that “consuming bread while engaging in a feast” is the intended meaning. It was likely ignored by the rabbis in favor of “hostility” because they have labeled “Yom Kippur” a Fast, during which the religious afflict themselves.
Reinforcing this conclusion, the closest derivative of gam is gama’, meaning “will be quick to devour and consume, swift to swallow and eat up.” And since lechem is more often translated as “bread,” the passage could read “Yahuwdah will quickly consume bread in 253Yaruwshalaim.” In this regard, the message is similar to the Yatsa’ | Exodus, where Yahuwdym were told not to hesitate, not yeasting their bread such that they could expedite their flight to freedom.
For those who favor traditional Bible translations, believing that “even Judah will fight against Yaruwshalaim,” that is senseless. Further, just a moment ago we were told that everyone who came to fight against Jerusalem would be liquefied. As such, Yahowah’s people are celebrating the Miqra’ of Yowm Kipurym in Yaruwshalaim by consuming a Feast.
As we read what comes next, be aware that ‘asaph insinuates that the collected material is to be “taken away and removed, ceasing to exist.”
“And He will gather up and collect (‘asaph – He will take away and either bring, assembling in one place or He withdraw it such that it ceases to exist) the wealth (chayl – the property) of all of the surrounding (sabyb) Gentiles and their nations (ha gowym – the foreign unrelated peoples and animalistic nations), including gold (zahab) and silver (wa kesep).
And then the offensive garments (wa beged – the deceptive religious apparel and treacherous political uniforms) from far and wide and in great abundance (la rob me’od), (Zakaryah 14:14) will similarly endure (wa ken) the rebuking plague (magephah – the destructive pandemic of disapproval which kills those engaged in battle and who are wrong, the pestilence which decimates), with it coming to exist upon (hayah – transpiring on) the flying and mobilized weapons, the troop transports and supply trucks (ha suws, ha pered, ha gamal, wa ha chamowr), along with whatever other beastly thing (wa kol ha bahemah) which is associated with them that may exist in their camps (‘asher hayah ba ha machaneh ha hem – which is in proximity to their military presence). 254These too will experience the plague, be defeated, then exterminated (ha magephah ha zo’th – and be destroyed and die).” (Zakaryah / Remember Yahowah / Zechariah 14:15)
This is also akin to the Yatsa’ | Exodus, where Yahuwdym carried gold and silver out of Mitsraym. But this time, since the verb was written in third-person masculine singular, “He,” it is God who is gathering up and collecting the silver and gold.
While the “offensive apparel, religious garments, and treacherous uniforms” are categorized with the gold and silver in the artificial verse designation, they belong with the things being eradicated. The people from whom the clothing will have been taken will have been dissolved, leaving the ground littered with this nasty stuff. God’s people are not going to be wearing any of it.
Zakaryah used the vocabulary at his disposal to describe the military equipment brought to bear against Israel. So, in the above, his terms were translated into modern English to convey what each animal would represent in today’s parlance. And since the plague is the same, they will be melted down along with the militants and soldiers.
At this point, there are only two or three groups of people left on planet Earth. There are Yisra’elites and Yahuwdym who have come to know, trust, and rely upon Yahowah and who are now looking forward to celebrating Sukah with Him. And there are some adopted Covenant members who may be the subjects of the next statement. They may hail from some of the Gentile nations which will attack Israel, but since they are supportive of God’s people, they will be spared.
Third, there may be some who are neither Covenant nor Yisra’elite, and who did not come to fight either. While this is unlikely, they may even be among those who were 255said to be “bewildered and dismayed.” If so, it is possible that they are being given the opportunity of a lifetime. But it is also possible that Yahowah’s intense presence reached around the world and incinerated all who were not enveloped in His Spirit.
“Then it will exist (wa hayah) that everyone who survives (kol ha yathar – that all who are left over, the entire remnant who is spared) out of all of the gentile nations (min kol ha gowym) which have come against (ha bow’ ‘al – who have arrived in opposition to) Yaruwshalaim (Yaruwshalaim) shall ascend (‘alah) to the degree necessary (min day – to a sufficient amount and as is needed) year after year (shanah ba shanah) to show up and make a declaration (chawah – to explain and announce their position, providing notice) to the king (la melek) and to celebrate (wa la chagag – to revel in and enjoy) the Festival Feast (‘eth chag – the party) of Sukah (ha Sukah – of the Dwelling Place, Shelter, and Home, of Tabernacles and Booths) of Yahowah of the spiritual implements (Yahowah tsaba’).” (Zakaryah / Zechariah 14:16)
We know that these fortunate few are not among those who came to wage war against Jerusalem because those sorry souls have all been vaporized. Therefore, these men and women are non-combatants who were living in Gentile nations at the time of the attack. If they are Covenant, then this statement is rendered correctly, such that they are “chawah – conveying their desire to speak” with the king and then celebrate the Feast of Sukah with Yahowah.
Again, if they are Covenant, it appears that they will be able to celebrate the first six Mow’ed anywhere in the world but will travel to Yaruwshalaim to address the king and camp out with Yahowah during Sukah. This suggests that there may not be all that many of them based on the size of the city.
256There is another possibility: because there are discordant views on whether chawah | to explain and announce appears in this declaration or shachah which is typically rendered as “bow down” but can also mean “to swim” (which could be funny considering the new waterway). Among the Dead Sea Scrolls, we have considerable textual support for Zakaryah chapters 1-6 and 8-12, but only one line from the 14th, which is 14:18. We are therefore reliant on the various versions of the Masoretic Text for Zakaryah 14:16.
Since we are not told if these Gentiles are alive and ascending because they are Covenant or because they were not killed by God while He was defending Yaruwshalaim, there is the possibility that they are being afforded the opportunity to live out the rest of their lives outside of Yisra’el so long as they acknowledge King Dowd’s authority. After demonstrating their respects, they would then be afforded the opportunity to camp out with Covenant members for eight days prior to heading back home. In this case, they are simply workers, men and women who have been given an extension on life to serve the Covenant Family.
Day is one of Hebrew’s more interesting terms. It speaks of that which is adequate and sufficient. As such, it will be considered sufficient for these gowym to observe the single Feast with attendance at the others determined by whether or not they are Covenant – which is highly unlikely. Kipurym is for Yisra’el and Yahuwdah, and not Gowym apart from them. This then leaves the result – which is to camp out with God. And if they are not Covenant, then it would be inappropriate for them to observe any of the previous six Mow’ed.
We are afforded a choice relative to the juxtaposition of Yahowah’s name and either melek | king or chag Sukah | the Feast of Shelters. The most adroit fit seems to be the 257celebration, which is why the translation was composed in this manner.
No matter if Yahowah is serving as co-regent with His Son, Dowd, or if God is here to celebrate His relationship with His Covenant Family, the Time of Ya’aqob’s Troubles is over. Yahowah has prevailed. Mercifully, evil has been obliterated. Five days have passed since God’s return on the Day of Reconciliations. We are now celebrating “Yahowah’s Festival Feast of Sukah.” We will camp out together for one thousand years, reconciled with our Creator and Father.
I am ready. Will you be there?
